If MYLAN exercises its RFN, the Parties have a further ninety (90) days to negotiate and sign a definitive agreement or a definitive amendment to this Agreement.
(c) If MYLAN does not exercise its RFN within thirty (30) days of the Non-Neb Notice Date or if the Parties are unable, despite negotiating in good faith, to negotiate and sign a definitive agreement or a definitive amendment to this Agreement for Development and/or Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Non-Neb Field within such ninety (90)-day period, THERAVANCE will be entitled to pursue all Development and Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Non-Neb Field on a worldwide basis alone or in combination with a Third Party and MYLAN will have no other legal or financial claim to Licensed Products in the Non-Neb Field, except as expressly set forth herein. In the event that THERAVANCE enters into an agreement granting a Third Party the right to Develop or Commercialize Licensed Product in the Non-Neb Field under Section 2.08(a) or pursuant to this Section 2.08(c), and subsequently decides to Develop Licensed Product for an indication or with respect to a territory or dosage form or delivery form within the Non-Neb Field that was not included in the rights granted to such Third Party, THERAVANCE shall provide MYLAN with notice of such decision and the RFN shall apply with respect to such indication, territory, dosage form or delivery form in the Non-Neb Field.

Prior to the Effective Date, THERAVANCE has entered into an agreement with a Third Party (which agreement has been provided to MYLAN) that restricts THERAVANCE's ability to engage in certain Development and Commercialization activities with respect to certain Combination Licensed Products (the "Restrictions"). The Parties hereby agree that prior to making any Development or Commercialization decision hereunder that may implicate the Restrictions, they will work cooperatively and in good faith to mutually agree on appropriate procedures and course of conduct (which may require, by way of example, amendment of certain provisions of this Agreement) to ensure that THERAVANCE can comply with the Restrictions in a manner which most closely approximates the purpose and economic effect of the Parties' presumed intentions hereunder.
ARTICLE 4
DEVELOPMENT
Section 4.01 Development Plan. The Parties will agree to a comprehensive development plan for Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory (the "Development Plan"), which shall be prepared by the JPC and approved by the JSC, and is designed to generate the preclinical, clinical, chemistry manufacturing and controls ("CMC"), and regulatory data and information required for filing and approval of a U.S. IND application and a U.S. NDA and the foreign equivalent applications for each ROW Country for which the JSC determines to proceed with Development of Licensed Products in the Field (as applicable). A preliminary Development Plan for the initial U.S. Development program for the Licensed Product in the Field and its associated budget will be separately agreed upon by the Parties in writing prior to or at the Effective Date (the "Preliminary Development Plan"). The Parties acknowledge that, although the Phase 3 Clinical Trial of the Licensed Product in the Field for post-acute care of COPD ("PAC Trial") is included in the documents setting forth the Preliminary Development Plan, the inclusion of the PAC Trial or any other Development activities related to post-acute care in the Development Plan to be implemented under this Agreement shall be contingent upon further refinement of the protocol, discussions with the FDA, further cost/benefit analysis and approval by the JSC. Accordingly, as of the Effective Date, THERAVANCE shall not be obligated to perform, and MYLAN shall not be obligated to pay for, the PAC Trial, and any such obligations shall be subject to the foregoing contingencies, including approval by the JSC. The full Development Plan will contain, at a minimum:
(a) a prioritized list of indications for which the Parties intend to seek Marketing Authorization for the Licensed Products in the Field, and timelines for such activities;

THERAVANCE shall use Diligent Efforts to advance the Licensed Product in the Field through Development in the U.S. in accordance with the Development Plan. Specifically, but without limitation, THERAVANCE will be responsible for the following U.S. Development matters:
i. conducting any remaining pharmaceutical science formulation and analytical work and accompanying quality control;
ii. conducting any remaining pre-clinical and toxicology studies;
iii. conducting clinical trials required to support the first NDA for the Licensed Product in the Field, including pivotal Phase 3 Clinical Trials;
***CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
32
iv. conducting all CMC work, including any activities necessary to support filing and approval of the Commercial manufacturing process, and, unless agreed by the Parties, obtaining supply of Licensed Product in the Field necessary to conduct the Development Plan for the U.S. and support filing of the first NDA for the Licensed Product in the Field;
v. preparing and filing all U.S. Regulatory Filings necessary to conduct the Development Plan, including any INDs and the first NDA for the Licensed Product in the Field, and executing any activities necessary to include in such filings to support Commercialization of the Licensed Products in the Field;
vi. leading interactions with FDA and responding to questions from FDA during review of such Regulatory Filings in accordance with Article 7; and
vii. cooperating to transition to MYLAN (or its Affiliates) activities for which MYLAN has primary responsibility with respect to Licensed Products in the Field.
(b) MYLAN Assistance. MYLAN will provide technical expertise and advice to support THERAVANCE's conduct of activities under the Development Plan, including with respect to U.S. non-clinical, preclinical and clinical trials of, and Regulatory Filings for, the Licensed Product in the Field, by reviewing and approving such Regulatory Filings in accordance with Section 7 and as otherwise set forth in the Development Plan, which assistance may be provided directly or through MYLAN's vendors or contractors and sub-contractors.
(c) Development Funding Responsibility. MYLAN shall reimburse THERAVANCE for all Development Expenses actually incurred, in accordance with the Development Budget contained in the Development Plan to Develop the Licensed Product in the Field for the U.S., from January 1, 2015 through first NDA approval for the Licensed Product in the Field in the U.S. MYLAN shall reimburse THERAVANCE on a quarterly basis in arrears for all such Development Expenses within thirty (30) days of receipt of THERAVANCE's invoice therefor. After the approval of the first NDA for the Licensed Product in the Field in the U.S., all Development Expenses incurred by THERAVANCE for the U.S. and all costs actually incurred by MYLAN in connection with the Development of the Licensed Product in the Field for the U.S. in accordance with the Development Budget contained in the then-current Development Plan approved by the JSC ("Post-Approval Development Expenses") will be Shared Expenses. For clarity, any Development Expense incurred by THERAVANCE after approval of the first NDA for the Licensed Product in the Field in the U.S. which is required or requested by FDA as a condition or in support of obtaining such NDA approval shall be Post-Approval Development Expenses.
(d) Cost Overruns. If THERAVANCE anticipates that its quarterly Development Expenses that are subject to reimbursement hereunder may exceed the corresponding portion of the Development Budget for such Calendar Quarter (a "Cost Overrun"), then, together with its monthly report set forth in Section 1.07(a)(i) of Exhibit
***CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
33
F, THERAVANCE will promptly give written notice to MYLAN of the anticipated Cost Overrun, including an explanation for such Cost Overrun. Subject to this Section 4.02(c), MYLAN will reimburse THERAVANCE for Cost Overruns in a given Calendar Quarter; provided that such Cost Overrun does not cause, and is not anticipated to cause, THERAVANCE to exceed the Development Budget for such Calendar Year. If such Cost Overruns exceed the Development Budget for such Calendar Quarter by more than [***] the Parties shall, upon MYLAN's request, meet promptly to discuss the reasons for such Cost Overruns and their impact on the annual Development Budget. The Cost Overrun mechanism is implemented as a tool to monitor and effectively manage quarterly variations in Development Expenses for timing differences. It does not provide approval to increase the Development Budget. If THERAVANCE determines that projected costs for Development activities under the Development Plan will exceed the approved Development Budget for a given Calendar Year, then THERAVANCE would need to obtain approval from MYLAN to increase the Development Budget prior to incurring such costs, and the allocation of Development costs in excess of the previously approved Development Budget ("Excess Costs") will be subject to the written agreement of the Parties, not to be unreasonably withheld. If the Parties fail to agree with respect to the allocation of Excess Costs, the Parties will share any such Excess Costs equally.
(e) Development Updates. THERAVANCE shall provide MYLAN with written and oral updates regarding U.S. Development of the Licensed Product in the Field at each JPC and JSC meeting (and at least once every Calendar Quarter) at a reasonable level of detail containing at a minimum all information generated as of the date of the report that is or would be required to be included in an IND, NDA or MAA (including by way of example and not limitation: all information regarding the API Compound and formulated dosage form(s) of the Licensed Product in the Field and methods of manufacturing the same, analytical methods, batch records, pre-formulation studies, reports summarizing development pharmaceutics, vendor information, validation documentation, interim and final results from all preclinical and clinical studies, adverse event data, patent information, regulatory documentation and filings, regulatory correspondence and data from nonclinical, preclinical and clinical studies), a summary of incurred and expected Development Expenses against the Development Budget, as well as high-level plans and objectives for the subsequent twelve (12) months.
Section 4.03 Rest of World Development.
(a) Development Responsibility. During the twenty-four (24)-month period following the Effective Date, the JSC will evaluate, on a Country-by-Country or market-by-market basis, the potential Development of the Licensed Product in the Field for Country(ies) in the ROW. Should the JSC determine to proceed with Development of the Licensed Product in the Field for any Countries in the ROW, then the Parties will use good faith efforts to determine each Party's respective responsibilities to conduct Development under a ROW Development Plan and ROW Development Budget for such Country(ies) to be agreed by the JSC. Once the Parties reach agreement on a ROW Development Plan and ROW Development Budget for a Country in the ROW, then such Country shall become a "ROW Country" for purposes of this Agreement, and each Party will use Diligent Efforts to Develop the Licensed Product in the Field in such ROW
***CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
34
Country(ies) in accordance with such Development Plan and Development Budget. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, if MYLAN proposes to proceed with respect to the Development and Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Field in a particular Country in the ROW and demonstrates to the JSC that proceeding in such Country is commercially reasonable, the JSC shall not withhold its consent to proceed with the Development and Commercialization of the Licensed Products in the Field in such Country.
(b) Development Funding Responsibility. MYLAN shall pay all Development Expenses incurred or committed to and which are set forth in the Development Budget contained in the Development Plan for all ROW Development hereunder, unless otherwise agreed by the JSC as part of the Development Budget. For clarity, if THERAVANCE has responsibility to conduct any ROW Development activities under the ROW Development Plan, Section 4.02(d) shall apply with respect to ROW Development Expenses associated therewith. THERAVANCE shall reimburse MYLAN for [***] of the costs of any Licensed Product in the Field comprising Approval Batches for the ROW Countries that is not actually sold, within thirty (30) days of receipt of MYLAN's invoice therefor.
(c) Development Updates. The Parties shall provide each other with quarterly written and oral updates regarding all ROW Development of the Licensed Product in the Field at each JPC and JSC meeting (and at least once every Calendar Quarter while such Development is ongoing) at a reasonable level of detail containing at a minimum all information generated as of the date of the report that is or would be required to be included in an IND (or foreign equivalent), MAA (including by way of example and not limitation: all information regarding the API Compound and formulated dosage form(s) of the Licensed Product in the Field and methods of manufacturing the same, analytical methods, batch records, pre-formulation studies, reports summarizing development pharmaceutics, vendor information, validation documentation, interim and final results from all preclinical and clinical studies, adverse event data, patent information, regulatory documentation and filings, regulatory correspondence and data from nonclinical studies), a summary of incurred and expected Development Expenses against the Development Budget, as well as high-level plans and objectives for the subsequent twelve (12) months.
(d) Reversion of Rights. If, after an evaluation period of not less than one hundred eighty days, MYLAN's representatives to the JSC decline to proceed with Development in a particular Country in the ROW recommended by THERAVANCE, then all such rights and licenses granted to MYLAN in Section 2.01 to Develop and Commercialize the Licensed Product in such Country (each, a "Reverted Country") will revert to THERAVANCE and THERAVANCE will be free to pursue Development and Commercialization of products incorporating TD-4208 in the Field in such Reverted Country with no further obligation to MYLAN, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
(e) Cooperation. THERAVANCE will use Diligent Efforts to ensure that registrational studies for Licensed Products inside and outside the Field are harmonized

Where necessary or useful, both Parties will have access to the dossiers and documentation for the Licensed Products and other Regulatory Filings that are controlled by the other Party for the purposes of supporting Regulatory Filings for the Licensed Product in the Field in each Country where it is responsible for Development under this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.03.
(f) Compensation to MYLAN for Use of Data.
i. If: (A) MYLAN does not exercise its China RFN within thirty (30) days of the China Notice Date or if the Parties are unable to negotiate and sign a definitive agreement or a definitive amendment to this Agreement for Development and/or Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Field in China in accordance with Section 2.07; (B) THERAVANCE exercises, or permits its Affiliate or any Third Party to exercise, any right under (I) any MYLAN Patent or any manufacturing process within the MYLAN Know-How or (II) any non-clinical, pre-clinical, clinical or manufacturing data that were funded by MYLAN under this Agreement, in each case for purposes of Developing Licensed Product in the Field in China; and (C) THERAVANCE is able to Commercialize Licensed Product in the Field in China, itself or through an Affiliate or Third Party, then THERAVANCE agrees to pay to MYLAN a royalty equal to [***] of Net Sales of Licensed Product in the Field in China for the longer of the life of such MYLAN Patents and thirteen (13) years following the First Commercial Sale of Licensed Product in China.
ii. If THERAVANCE intends to incorporate, or permit its Affiliate or any Third Party to incorporate, any non-clinical, pre-clinical, clinical or manufacturing data intended to be incorporated in any Regulatory Filing in place of data that would otherwise have been required to be incorporated by or on behalf of THERAVANCE, its Affiliate or such Third Party, in each case that was funded by MYLAN under this Agreement ("Data"), in any Regulatory Filing for Licensed Products outside the Field, THERAVANCE shall promptly notify MYLAN and the Parties will negotiate in good faith a percentage [***] of the costs incurred by MYLAN to generate such Data for which THERAVANCE shall be obligated to reimburse MYLAN. Such reimbursement shall be made within thirty (30) days of THERAVANCE's receipt of MYLAN's invoice therefor, in U.S. Dollars.
iii. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, THERAVANCE shall not be permitted to provide any Third Party with access to, or the benefit of, Data, either directly or through a right of use or reference pursuant to Section 7.03 or otherwise, unless such Third Party permits THERAVANCE to provide similar access, and THERAVANCE provides such access (including the right to use and incorporate into Regulatory Filings), to MYLAN with respect to data of a corresponding scope regarding Licensed Product that was funded by such Third Party, to the extent that such data exists.

The Withholding Party shall secure and send to the other Party within a reasonable period of time proof of any such Taxes paid or required to be withheld by Withholding Party for the benefit of the other Party.
(b) It is contemplated that payments made to an Irish incorporated entity resident in Ireland for purposes of the U.S./Ireland Income Tax Treaty (the "Treaty") in connection with payments rendered under this Agreement will not impose a withholding obligation upon under Section 1442 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended. THERAVANCE shall promptly provide MYLAN with Form W-8BEN-E certifying that it is the beneficial owner of the income and a resident of Ireland within the meaning of the Treaty.

41
owed absent such assignment or failure; provided always that if THERAVANCE is able to obtain credit for any such taxes withheld ("Creditable Taxes") against any liability to tax either in the year in which the receipt is taxable or any preceding years, THERAVANCE shall reimburse to MYLAN an amount equivalent to the Creditable Taxes.

(d) It is understood and agreed between the Parties that any payments made by one Party to the other Party under this Agreement are exclusive of VAT, which shall be added thereon as applicable. Where VAT is properly added to a payment under this Agreement, the Party making the payment will pay the amount of VAT only on receipt of a valid tax invoice issued in accordance to applicable Laws of the country in which the VAT is chargeable.

MYLAN agrees to notify THERAVANCE immediately, should MYLAN cease to satisfy the conditions of section 56 VATCA or should the Form 56B (or 13B, if applicable) become invalid for whatever reason. In the event that MYLAN fails to produce a valid and up to date VAT Form 56B (or 13B, if applicable), VAT shall apply to any invoices from THERAVANCE as normal.
(ii) Should additional and irrecoverable VAT become payable under this Agreement as a result of any of the Parties assigning this Agreement, or any obligation hereunder to an Affiliate, the Parties agree that any such additional and irrecoverable VAT shall be borne by the assigning Party. It is agreed between the Parties that the assignment by THERAVANCE to an Affiliate in Ireland shall not come within this provision.
(iii) If additional and irrecoverable VAT is properly added to payment made under this Agreement due to no fault of either Party, including as a result of changes in applicable tax Laws the Parties will meet promptly to discuss in good faith approaches to minimising such additional and irrecoverable VAT; provided that if such VAT must be paid, the Parties will share such VAT (or any remaining portion) equally unless otherwise agreed.

Subject to Section 11.04, THERAVANCE shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless MYLAN, its Affiliates and its and their officers, directors, stockholders, employees, successors and assigns (each, a "MYLAN Indemnitee") from and against all Loss resulting from Claims brought by Third Parties against a MYLAN Indemnitee to the extent such Claims arise out of (a) THERAVANCE's or its Affiliates' negligence or willful misconduct in performing any of their obligations, or exercising any of their rights, under this Agreement, (b) a breach by THERAVANCE (or its Affiliates) of any of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement, or (c) the Development, manufacture, use, handling, storage, marketing, sale, distribution or other disposition of Licensed Product by THERAVANCE, its Affiliates, agents, sublicensees or distributors, except in each case to the extent such Claims or Losses result from (x) the negligence or willful misconduct of MYLAN or its Affiliates or the breach by MYLAN or its Affiliates of any obligation under this Agreement or (y) the manufacture of the API Compound or Licensed Product by THERAVANCE or its Affiliate's Third Party manufacturer and THERAVANCE is not indemnified by such Third Party for such Claims or Losses.
Section 11.03 Procedure for Indemnification.
(a) Notice. Each Party will notify promptly the other in writing if it becomes aware of a Claim (actual or potential) by any Third Party (a "Third Party Claim") for which indemnification may be sought by that Party (the "Indemnified Party") and will give all information in its possession with respect thereto to the other Party (the "Indemnifying Party"). The Indemnified Party shall not make any admission or statement concerning such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall meet to discuss how to respond to any Third Party Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party to the extent any admission or statement made by the Indemnified Party without the consent of the Indemnifying Party or any failure by such Party to notify the Indemnifying Party of the Claim materially prejudices the defense of such Claim.
(b) Defense of Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control the defense of a Third Party Claim, provided it gives notice to the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so within forty-five (45) days after the receipt of the written notice from the Indemnified Party of the potentially indemnifiable Third Party Claim (the "Litigation Condition"). Subject to compliance with the Litigation Condition, the Indemnifying Party shall retain counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, refused, conditioned or delayed) to represent the Parties in the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim and shall pay the fees and costs of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim for which it is seeking indemnification without the
***CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
60
prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall, if requested by the Indemnifying Party, cooperate in all reasonable respects in the defense of such Claim that is being managed and/or controlled by the Indemnifying Party, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, refused, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of such Third Party Claim, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability to Third Parties with respect to such Third Party Claim.
Section 11.04 Assumption of Defense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume its own defense against any Third Party Claim upon written notice to the Indemnifying Party, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of liability under Section 11.01 or Section 11.02, as applicable, solely for such Third Party Claim and related Losses, if it had previously satisfied the Litigation Condition.
Section 11.05 Insurance.
(a) During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years after the termination or expiration of this Agreement, MYLAN shall obtain and/or maintain at its sole cost and expense, product liability insurance (including any self-insured arrangements) in amounts which are reasonable and customary in the pharmaceutical industry for companies of comparable size in the territories where MYLAN has activities, taking into account the nature of those activities. Such product liability insurance or self-insured arrangements shall insure against all liability, including personal injury, physical injury, or property damage arising out of the manufacture, sale, distribution, or marketing of the Licensed Products in the Field by or on behalf of MYLAN in the Territory. MYLAN shall provide written proof of the existence of such insurance to THERAVANCE upon request.
(b) During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years after the termination or expiration of this Agreement, THERAVANCE shall obtain and/or maintain at its sole cost and expense, product liability insurance (including any self-insured arrangements) in amounts which are reasonable and customary in the U.S. pharmaceutical industry for companies of comparable size and activities. Such product liability insurance or self-insured arrangements shall insure against all liability, including personal injury, physical injury, or property damage arising out of the manufacture, sale, distribution, or marketing of the Licensed Product worldwide in and outside of the Field by or on behalf of THERAVANCE. THERAVANCE shall provide written proof of the existence of such insurance to MYLAN upon request.
(c) Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall at a minimum maintain a product liability insurance policy with a [***] limit in the aggregate. For clarity, MYLAN shall have the right to provide the total limits required under this Section 11.05 by any combination of primary and umbrella/excess coverage and may provide all or part of the required coverage through its insurance captive.

67
not to enforce the THERAVANCE Patents in response to a Patent Infringement Notice, and MYLAN elects to pursue such enforcement action by joining THERAVANCE as a party plaintiff, then MYLAN agrees to indemnify and hold harmless THERAVANCE for all Losses incurred by THERAVANCE in such enforcement action.

ARTICLE 13
TERM AND TERMINATION
Section 13.01 Term and Expiration of Term. Except as otherwise mutually agreed to by the Parties, this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall end upon expiration of the Term, unless terminated earlier as contemplated in this Article 13.
Section 13.02 Termination for Material Breach. Either Party may, without prejudice to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, terminate this Agreement subject to ARTICLE 14 in the event that the other Party (as used in this subsection, the "Breaching Party") shall have materially breached this Agreement or defaulted in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder, and not corrected the situation following notice and an opportunity to cure as provided below. The Breaching Party shall have sixty (60) days of written notice thereof was provided to the Breaching Party by the non-breaching Party to remedy such default (or, if such default cannot be cured within such 60-day period, the Breaching Party must commence actions to cure such default during such 60-day period and thereafter diligently continue such actions). Any such termination shall become effective at the end of such 60-day period unless the Breaching Party has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of such 60-day period (or, if such default is capable of being cured but cannot be cured within such 60-day period, the Breaching Party has commenced and diligently continued actions to cure such default provided always that, in such instance, such cure must have occurred within ninety (90) days of written notice thereof being provided to the Breaching Party by the non-breaching Party to remedy such default). In the event that one Party claims that the other Party has materially breached its obligations hereunder, and the Breaching Party (by written notice to the other Party) disputes in good faith such material breach or its failure to cure such breach within the applicable cure period, then such dispute may be submitted to dispute resolution, either pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 3.01(f) or through litigation or arbitration. In such event, the Party alleging such breach does not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.02, until it has been determined, pursuant to such dispute resolution procedure, that the Breaching Party is in material breach of this Agreement, and such Breaching Party further fails to cure such breach within sixty (60) days after the conclusion of any such procedure. For clarity, in the event of a material breach by MYLAN with respect to a particular ROW Country, THERAVANCE's right to terminate under this Section 13.02 would apply on a Country-by-Country basis as set forth in Section 5.04(f).
Section 13.03 Termination by MYLAN. MYLAN shall have right to the terminate this Agreement, upon one hundred eighty (180) days prior written notice to THERAVANCE, (a) at any time with respect to one or more ROW Countries, or (b) in its entirety in the event that (i) final approval of the first NDA for a Licensed Product in the Field in the U.S. in not received prior to December 31, 2021, (ii) the Development Expenses required to obtain such approval exceed, or are reasonably expected to exceed, those set forth in the Preliminary Development Plan by more than [***], or (iii) in the event that MYLAN is required to divest the Licensed Product in the Field by a Governmental Authority (in
