(a) U.S. and ROW.

Payment Only Once for U.S and ROW Milestones. For the avoidance of doubt, U.S. and ROW Milestones are each payable only once, upon first attainment of the relevant milestone, regardless of how many times a Milestone is reached. In the event that more than one Sales Milestones are achieved in a given Calendar Year then the lower Sales Milestone payment for the Stand Alone Licensed Product would be payable for that Calendar Year and the higher Sales Milestone would be payable at the end of the following Calendar Year provided that the higher Sales Milestone is achieved and/or maintained in the following Calendar Year.

Section 1.03 Operating Profit (Loss) Share in the U.S.
(a) The Parties shall share the Operating Profits (Losses) from the sale of the Licensed Products in the Field in the U.S as set forth in this Section 1.03. The Parties expect that Net Sales in the U.S. shall be accounts receivable of MYLAN and MYLAN shall receive payment on account thereof.
(b) During the Term, MYLAN and THERAVANCE shall split the Operating Profits (Losses), sixty-five percent (65%) to MYLAN and thirty-five percent (35%) to THERAVANCE.
(c) In the event that both Parties elect to sublicense the Commercialization of the Licensed Products in the Field in the U.S. to a Third Party, all cash consideration received in consideration for the grant of such sublicense will be treated as Net Sales in the U.S. For clarity, any such sublicense must be agreed by both Parties. In the event that one Party sublicenses the Commercialization of the Licensed Products in the Field in the U.S. to a Third Party, the sharing of Operating Profits (Losses) shall, as between the Parties, remain as set forth in Section 1.03(b) of this Exhibit F.
(d) The sharing of Operating Profits (Losses) set forth in this Section 1.03 shall be reported, calculated and paid in accordance with Section 1.07 below.

THERAVANCE Patent or (ii) incorporate the THERAVANCE Know-How, Less ROW Recall Costs (“Adjusted Net Sales”), in the following percentages (“Royalties”):
On the portion of annual Adjusted Net Sales of Licensed |
|
Product in the Field in the ROW Countries up to U.S. [* * *]: | [* * *] |
|
|
On the portion of annual Adjusted Net Sales of Licensed |
|

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Royalties shall be reduced by [* * *] with respect to Licensed Products that are not covered by a Valid Claim within the THERAVANCE Patents in the Country of sale. For purposes of the foregoing, “cover” means that the manufacture, use, sale or importation of a Licensed Product would infringe a Valid Claim within the THERAVANCE Patents but for the licenses granted to MYLAN herein. For avoidance of doubt, this [* * *] reduction does not apply to Royalties owed on Net Sales in China.

Calendar Quarter after the [* * *] Generic Product is launched and continuing for so long as such [* * *] Generic Products remain on the market in China, the applicable royalty rate that would otherwise be owed on Net Sales of such Licensed Product in China under Section 1.05(a) will be reduced by [* * *] and other amounts payable under Section 1 shall not be affected by the foregoing sentence.
For the purposes of this section, “Generic Product” means with respect to a Product in China, any product sold by a Third Party (including a “generic product”) approved in China for sale in reliance on a prior approval of a Licensed Product, under Section 505(j) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, Section 12 of the Provisions for Drug Registration of the People’s Republic of China, or a successor or foreign equivalent Applicable Law, by way of an abbreviated regulatory mechanism by the Regulatory Authority in China, which product meets the equivalency determination by the applicable Regulatory Authority (including a determination that the product is “therapeutic equivalent”, “interchangeable”, “substitutable” or other term of similar meaning, with respect to such Licensed Product).

(c) China Royalty Term. The royalty payments for China payable under the above Section 1.05 shall be payable on a Country-by-Country basis from the First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product in such Country until the later of: (i) the fifteenth (15th) anniversary of the date of the First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product in such Country; and (ii) the expiration of the last Valid Claim (including any patent term adjustments or extensions) within the THERAVANCE Patents that cover such Licensed Product in such Country (the “China Royalty Term”).

Section 1.07 Payments to Third Parties; Combination Products.
(a) Payments to Third Parties. If MYLAN is required to pay any amounts to a Third Party with respect to the manufacturing, using or selling Licensed Product in a ROW Country based on the intellectual property rights of such Third Party covering such Licensed Product, MYLAN shall be entitled to deduct [* * *] of any such amount paid to such Third Party from the Royalties otherwise due THERAVANCE for such Licensed Product, provided in no event shall such reduction(s) reduce the royalties otherwise payable to THERAVANCE during any Calendar Year by more than [* * *], and provided further than amounts not deducted in accordance with this Section 1.06 shall be carried forward to the following Calendar Year until [* * *] of all such amounts is so deducted. Notwithstanding the forgoing, MYLAN shall be solely responsible for any and all Third Party Obligations with respect to the Licensed Product in China as a result of the activities hereunder.
(b) Combination Products. For Combination Licensed Products, the Parties shall meet prior to beginning clinical Development of such Combination Licensed Product, and negotiate in good faith appropriate adjustments to the ROW Royalty, China Royalty, and share of Operating Profits (Loss) for THERAVANCE to receive, based on the relative value of: 1) the Parties’ respective contributions to the Development and Commercialization (including associated expenses) of such Combination Licensed Product; and 2) relative importance and proprietary protection of the Stand Alone Licensed Product and the other active ingredient(s) included in such Combination Licensed Product. In the event the Parties are unable to agree with respect to such adjustments, Operating Profits (Losses) or Royalties, as applicable shall be multiplied by the fraction equal to 1/[the number of active ingredients in such Combination Licensed Product].
Section 1.08 Reporting and Payment.
(a) Reports.
(i) On or before the tenth (10th) day of each month, each Party will provide a written report to the other Party setting forth, with respect to THERAVANCE, the Development Expenses and, with respect to both Parties, the Operating Expenses, Shared Expenses and Patent expenses subject to reimbursement in accordance with Article 12 (“Reimbursable Patent Expenses”), incurred and anticipated to be incurred by such Party during the then-current Calendar Quarter and Calendar Year.

(b) Disputes.
