PARI and Insmed shall be referred to collectively as the “Parties”.

 

WHEREAS, the Parties now desire to amend the terms and conditions of the Agreement to reflect certain business discussions between the Parties, the current development status of the Drug Product and its use together with the Device in compassionate use, expanded access, named patient or similar programs (collectively “Early Access Programs”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals set forth above, the mutual covenants, terms and conditions set forth below, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 5 shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

 

“Arikayce” means the same as Arikace.

 

“NTM” means Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria infections.

 

2.                                      Section 4.2 (a). Section 4.2(a) shall be deleted and replaced as follows:

 

Subject to Section 4.2(b) below and the AKITA Rights, during the Term of this Agreement, PARI agrees that it and its Affiliates shall (x) not compete with Insmed in CF and/or Bronchiectasis with a Competing Nebulizer in the Transave Field, within the Transave Territory, (y) not engage in the research, development, manufacture and/or commercialization of amikacin for pulmonary administration using a Competing Nebulizer, and (z) not compete with Insmed in NTM with any *** (for clarity the *** shall not be considered a ***) for pulmonary administration of amikacin. In addition, during the term of this Agreement, PARI agrees that it and its Affiliates shall not compete with Insmed or otherwise engage in the research, development, manufacture and/or commercialization of any liposomal formulation of amikacin, tobramycin, ciprofloxacin, and levofloxacin for pulmonary administration, provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions in this sentence shall not apply with respect to (i) the right of any third party licensee (but only to the extent that

such right is existing and in effect as of the Effective Date) to research, develop, manufacture and/or commercialize any liposomal formulation of tobramycin, ciprofloxacin, and levofloxacin for pulmonary administration pursuant to any licensing agreements entered into by PARI or its Affiliates prior to the date of this Agreement, and (ii) the right of PARI and its Affiliates to enter into additional agreements that would be necessary or useful to exploit, but do not expand, existing rights under such licensing agreements referred to in (i), such as testing agreements, and clinical and commercial supply agreements, with any such third party licensee related to the research, development and manufacture and/or commercialization of products generated pursuant to those respective licensing agreements, except the foregoing restrictions in this sentence shall apply, notwithstanding (i) or (ii), with respect to any research, development, manufacture and/or commercialization of any such liposomal formulations for pulmonary administration using a Nebulizer that includes any developments or optimizations generated under Feasibility Statement of Work No. 3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that PARI is able to supply medical device product information to customers and sell medical devices other than Competing Nebulizers to customers and patients indicated to deliver amikacin, tobramycin, ciprofloxacin, and levofloxacin (including liposomal formulations thereof) for any indication (including clinical development and clinical research), including CF and Bronchiectasis and NTM and that such uses shall not conflict with the prohibitions of this Section 4.2(a).

First Right to Negotiate a License for *** in ***. Until *** PARI shall notify Insmed in writing in case it is approached by a third party or it would like to approach a third party for a license under PARI Intellectual Property regarding pulmonary delivery of *** to patients who suffer from *** via *** (the “*** Notice”). Within *** days after the date of the *** Notice Insmed shall inform PARI in writing if Insmed is interested to develop *** delivered via *** to patients suffering from *** and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and execute an agreement which governs a license to deliver *** to patients suffering from *** (and potentially other indications) via *** (the “*** License Agreement”).

“In addition to what is written in Section 8.8 (b) above, Insmed shall be permitted to use the Device for Early Access Programs and therefore may release the Devices supplied for clinical trial purposes also to individuals who will be participating in Early Access Programs and who have a need to access the Device in connection with use of the Device in such Early Access Programs, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation Section 7.7) and any Applicable Laws and Standards. Insmed shall be solely responsible for compliance with such Applicable Laws and Standards. The Parties anticipate that the same Device which is supplied for clinical trial purposes may be utilized in the Early Access Programs (with respect to both technical specifications and labelling). . If the Device does not meet such Applicable Laws and Standards for use in Early Access Programs, if requested by Insmed, PARI will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Device fulfills such Applicable Laws and Standards at Insmed’s cost. Insmed shall be responsible for the traceability of the Devices and upon request by PARI Insmed shall within *** business days inform PARI whether a specific Device was used in an Early Access Program or in a clinical trial (including the unique identifier of the clinical trial) and in which country it was used. For clarity, to the extent that any of these programs reimburse Insmed, such reimbursement
