NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1. Definitions

 

1.1 Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Appendix 1.1 attached hereto.

 

2 The License and Grant of Rights

 

  2.1. Zosano License to Lilly. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Zosano hereby grants to Lilly a worldwide, royalty-bearing, exclusive (even as to Zosano) license, with the right to grant sublicenses solely in accordance with Section 2.3, under the Licensed Technology, to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and import and otherwise Commercialize Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory.

 

  2.2. No Implied Rights. No right or license under any Intellectual Property is granted or shall be granted by implication, estoppel or otherwise under this Agreement. All such rights or licenses are or shall be granted only as expressly provided in the terms of this Agreement. All rights not expressly granted by a Party under this Agreement are reserved by such Party and may be used by such Party for any purpose. For avoidance of doubt, Lilly has not granted Zosano a license to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale or import Lilly’s Forteo® molecule (except for the Development activities under this Agreement) or a right to use Lilly’s Forteo® trademark or any other Lilly trademark.

 

  2.3. Sublicensing by Lilly. From and after the date Lilly has made the first Development milestone payment under Section 8.2, Lilly shall be entitled, without the prior consent of Zosano, to grant one or more sublicenses to Third Parties of its rights to the Licensed Technology granted pursuant to Section 2.1 with respect to Licensed Products, provided that such sublicense is limited to a grant of rights no broader than the rights granted to Lilly under this Agreement to Lilly’s Affiliates or their respective commercialization subcontractors and distributors; provided, however, that if Lilly wishes to grant sublicenses for Licensed Technology to Third Parties, then Lilly (or its Affiliate) shall obtain a confidential nondisclosure and invention assignment agreement with the prospective sublicensee that contains terms at least as stringent as those terms included in Section 15. In the case of any sublicense, such sublicense will exclude the right of the sublicensee to further sublicense any of the rights granted by Lilly to such sublicensee under the sublicense and Lilly will be responsible for performance of this Agreement notwithstanding the appointment of such sublicensee to perform any part of this Agreement, and for any failure by its sublicensee to comply with all relevant restrictions, limitations and obligations in this Agreement, including the payment of all payments due, and making reports and keeping books and records.

  Each such sublicense shall refer to this Agreement and shall be subordinate to and consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and shall not limit the ability of Lilly to fully perform all of its material obligations under this Agreement or Zosano’s rights under this Agreement. Lilly will provide to Zosano, within thirty (30) days after its execution a copy of each such sublicense, which Zosano may share with its licensors.

 

  2.4. Exclusivity. Each Party covenants and agrees during the Term to not, itself or with or through an Affiliate or Third Party, Develop, Manufacture or Commercialize in the Field in the Territory any products using a transdermal patch technology drug delivery system for PTH formulations or any other pharmaceutical formulation useful to treat osteoporosis, except as permitted under this Agreement.

 

  2.5. Retained Rights. Zosano shall at all times retain the unrestricted right, but not the obligation, under Intellectual Property Controlled by Zosano, to Develop, Manufacture or Commercialize a microprojection array which pierces through the outmost (i.e., the stratum corneum) layer of the skin and the Licensed Technology, by itself or with Third Parties, other than for use in the Field as set forth in Sections 3.1, 4.5 and 6. Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Zosano’s right to Develop and Manufacture (but not Commercialize during the Term) any New Dosing Durations of the Licensed Product.

 

  2.6. Right to Engage Affiliates and Third Parties. Each Party shall have the right to engage their Affiliates or Third Party contractors (“Subcontractors”) to perform any portion of its Development or Commercialization obligations hereunder; except that no Subcontractor can be debarred or disqualified by a Regulatory Authority. Each Party shall be responsible for ensuring that, prior to engaging any Subcontractor that such Subcontractor is subject to written agreements containing terms and conditions: (i) consistent with the relevant terms and conditions of this Agreement protecting the rights of the Parties under the Agreement including imposing obligations of confidentiality on each such Subcontractor; (ii) that vests ownership of any and all inventions developed by such Subcontractor relating solely to Licensed Products in the course of performing such subcontracted work in the contracting Party; (iii) that does not impose any payment obligations or liability on the other Party without the prior written consent of the other Party and (iv) that is otherwise consistent with the terms of the Development Plan to the extent applicable.

 

3. Development. As between the Parties, Zosano shall, at Zosano’s cost and expense, oversee, have sole authority and responsibility for, and retain final decision-making authority over, all Development activities with respect to the Licensed Products, including the implementation of the Development Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Development Plan shall be amended only upon mutual written agreement by the Parties, provided that Zosano may amend the Development Plan without such agreement by Lilly (but with a copy provided to Lilly within three (3) days) with respect to any amendments addressing discussions with and guidance by the FDA or PMDA. In connection with the Development Plan, Zosano shall use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve the Critical Success Factors set forth in Schedule 3.3.1 attached hereto. Zosano shall update the Joint Collaboration Committee, “JCC”, from

  time to time on the status of its Development activities, including the Critical Success Factors, and data obtained from its research programs and clinical trials using the Daily Product. Zosano shall provide summaries to the JCC at least once every three (3) months of its Development of the Daily Product.

 

  3.1. Development Diligence. Each Party shall perform its obligations under the Development Plan in a professional and timely manner, and in compliance with all Laws applicable to its activities under the Development Plan. Lilly will provide Reasonable Assistance to Zosano from time to time, in advancing the Daily Product.

 

  3.2. Supply of Materials from Lilly to Zosano. During the Term, Lilly shall supply to Zosano, at a price of [**] for placebo filled Pens and [**] for Forteo® filled Pens in quantities and at times determined by the JCC solely for the purpose of implementing the Development Plan. A Supply Agreement, pharmacovigilance and quality agreement will be entered into for the Pens within sixty (60) days of the Effective Date. Zosano shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Third Party Subcontractors to, use the Pens solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Development Plan. Zosano or its Affiliates or permitted Subcontractors shall retain possession over such Pens and not relabel, resell or provide the Pens to any other Third Party without Lilly’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Lilly’s sole discretion. Lilly shall provide to Zosano, its Affiliates or their respective sublicensees Reasonable Assistance, training and/or support as may be requested by Zosano from time to time during the Term, at Zosano’s expense, to use and practice the Intellectual Property owned or Controlled by Lilly solely for the purpose of using the Pens as set forth in this Section 3.2 and in the Development Plan (including with respect to the CSFs).

 

  3.3. Critical Success Factors.

 

  3.3.1. The Parties have agreed upon a set of criteria describing key indicators for success of the Development Plan for the Daily Product, which is set forth in Schedule 3.3.1 attached hereto (the “Critical Success Factors” or “CSFs”). Lilly shall have final decision-making authority over whether CSF 1 (as defined below) has been achieved.

 

  3.3.2. As the first CSF, Zosano shall conduct a patient preference study for the Daily Product as part of its Development activities, in accordance with and as set forth in more detail in Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Patient Preference Study”). Lilly shall inform Zosano in writing within thirty (30) days after the complete written results from the Patient Preference Study have been received by Lilly as to whether the benchmarks for the Patient Preference Study as described therein (“CSF 1”) have been achieved. If such benchmarks have not been achieved, then Lilly shall have the right to terminate this Agreement within fifteen (15) days after the complete written results from the Patient Preference Study have been received by Lilly or else the foregoing termination right with respect to the Patient Preference Study benchmarks shall lapse.

  3.3.3. In the event Zosano does not achieve any one of the CSFs, Lilly shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the termination provision set forth in clause (i) of Section 9.3, and for the Patient Preference Study, subject to the timeline set forth in Section 3.3.2.

 

  3.3.4. Subject to Lilly’s right of reinstatement in Section 9.5.3, if prior to Lilly’s payment of the first Development milestone payment under Section 8.2 Zosano determines, in its sole discretion, that it is commercially or scientifically unreasonable to pursue any CSF and discontinues the Development of the Daily Product, then Zosano shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the termination provision set forth in Section 9.2.

 

  3.3.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the termination by either Party under this Section 3.3 or in the event Zosano determines, based on the progress of the Development of the Daily Product, that a CSF should be adjusted, the Parties shall meet to discuss in good faith the reasons for such termination and consider amending this Agreement, including the financial terms and/or the CSFs, as appropriate.

 

4. Regulatory and Patient Safety Matters. The Parties shall come together to develop and execute a Safety-Regulatory Agreement, said execution shall be no later than thirty (30) days prior to first patient visit for any interventional or non-interventional clinical trials sponsored by Zosano, including the patient preference study. The Safety-Regulatory Agreement shall incorporate terms in this section and further define roles and responsibilities with respect to Lilly’s regulatory and/or safety obligations related to the Licensed Products and/or Lilly’s ongoing work with Forteo® including Adverse Event management, reporting and exchange, safety surveillance and signal detection, and risk management. Zosano shall, at Zosano’s cost and expense, oversee, have sole authority and responsibility for, and retain final decision-making authority over the planning, implementation and control of regulatory activities, and the preparation, prosecution and maintenance, in Zosano’s name, of any regulatory filings, INDs and Regulatory Approvals, for the Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory. Zosano shall be solely responsible for responding to any communications related to any Licensed Product from any Regulatory Authority in the Field in the Territory. After Zosano transfers a Regulatory Approval to Lilly pursuant to Section 4.6, then Lilly shall have final decision-making authority with regard to all regulatory issues for the transferred Regulatory Approval. For avoidance of doubt, Lilly shall retain rights and final decision-making authority for regulatory and safety in support of investigational applications and marketing authorizations for Forteo® including patient safety/pharmacovigilance, ownership of the global safety database, the role of Qualified Person for Pharmacovigilance, safety surveillance and risk management. After Zosano transfers a Regulatory Approval to Lilly pursuant to Section 4.6 then Lilly shall have final decision-making authority with regard to all regulatory and safety issues for the transferred Regulatory Approval. Lilly shall have the right to perform audits (“Audits”) of Zosano’s safety and regulatory activities including each Party’s oversight of any Third Party Organization (“TPO”) contracted to perform safety and/or regulatory activities as outlined in this Agreement and/or the Safety-Regulatory Agreement. The Audit(s) may be conducted through reviews of documentation and/or data and through interviews of relevant personnel, the purpose of which is to

 

CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. DOUBLE ASTERISKS [**] DENOTE OMISSIONS

 

5


  understand the systems and processes in place and verify the compliance of practices to the same. The frequency of Audits will be no more than every three (3) years, except in the case where Lilly has a reasonable concern to initiate a for-cause audit. The notification of intent to conduct Audits will be provided in advance within a reasonable time period, according to the situation.

 

  4.1. Coordination. Lilly shall provide Reasonable Assistance to Zosano in seeking Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Products set forth in the Development Plan, initially, the Daily Product. To the extent Lilly receives written or material oral communication from the FDA, PMDA or any other Regulatory Authority relating to any Regulatory Approval with respect to any Licensed Product, Lilly shall notify Zosano and provide to Zosano a copy of any material written communication as soon as reasonably practicable. Zosano shall provide Lilly with drafts of all INDs/foreign equivalents and applications for Regulatory Approval for Licensed Products reasonably in advance of filing so that Lilly may provide comments thereon for consideration in good faith by Zosano.

 

  4.2. Records. Each Party shall keep complete, true and accurate books and records relating to Development, Manufacturing or Commercialization activities conducted by such Party under this Agreement for the period required by applicable Laws. Each Party, at its own costs, shall be responsible for archiving all relevant and required original documentation, notebooks and raw data in relation to the Development, Manufacturing and Commercialization of Licensed Products. Each Party shall adhere to its internal document and/or records retention policies relating to Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of Licensed Products consistent with applicable Laws.

 

  4.3. Right of Reference. Upon Zosano’s request, Lilly shall in good faith reasonably consider granting Zosano a right of reference and access, in the Field and in the Territory, to regulatory filings and clinical data information (“Lilly Regulatory Filings”) Controlled by Lilly or its Affiliates that is necessary to obtain a Regulatory Approval for a Licensed Product or is specifically requested by a Regulatory Authority related to the research, Development, use, Manufacture or Commercialization by Zosano, its Affiliates or their respective sublicensees of Licensed Products under this Agreement. Any such right of reference shall not survive termination or expiration of this Agreement. Lilly hereby covenants that, during the Term and following the termination (other than by Lilly pursuant to Section 9.4 hereof) or expiration of this Agreement, neither it nor any Affiliate, nor any agent acting on its or its Affiliate’s behalf, shall file, cause to be filed or otherwise assert, or join or assist in any way, financially or otherwise, any party filing or asserting, against Zosano or any Affiliate, or any of their respective Subcontractors, manufacturers, distributors, sublicensees or agents, any administrative or judicial proceeding or claim of infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property right that Covers a Licensed Product, or any other claim interfering with Zosano’s right to Develop or Manufacture the Licensed Technology in the Field in the Territory or seek Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Products under this Agreement (except as precluded under Sections 2.4 and 9.5.4) pursuant to Section 505(b)(2) of the United States Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and the right

  of reference granted under this Section 4.3 shall continue following termination for this purpose. In the event of a violation of this covenant, Lilly agrees that injunctive relief or specific performance shall be an appropriate and available remedy, in addition to any other remedies available at law or equity.

 

  4.4. Letter of Authorization. Pursuant to any right of reference and access provided under Section 4.3, Lilly shall provide a letter of authorization to Zosano, and/or the applicable regulatory agency, as appropriate under applicable Law, in a form mutually acceptable to Zosano and Lilly, within fifteen (15) days of request from Zosano, in respect of the Lilly Regulatory Filings, for use solely in connection with the research, Development, use and Manufacture (including obtaining of Regulatory Approvals) of Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lilly shall not be obligated to provide Zosano copies of any Lilly Forteo® Regulatory Filings to the United States Food & Drug Administration for more than the past five (5) years and such copies shall be limited to the IND Annual Report, Developmental Safety Update Report (DSUR) and Periodic Safety Update Report (PSUR). Lilly shall take all actions reasonably necessary to effect such letter of authorization and right of reference and access.

 

  4.5. Regulatory Diligence. Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations under the Development Plan in a professional and timely manner with respect to regulatory obligations. Lilly shall have a right but not an obligation to audit or review clinical quality systems, clinical study data and clinical research organizations engaged by Zosano in carrying out the Development Plan.

 

  4.6. Regulatory Approval Transfer. Zosano shall exclusively transfer the Regulatory Approvals for Licensed Products to Lilly in order that Lilly can Commercialize the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory in compliance with applicable Law and the Licensed Product’s approved label. The transfer of the Regulatory Approvals shall occur as soon as possible to permit Lilly to timely Commercialize the Daily Product/Licensed Product pursuant to and in compliance with applicable Law. The Parties will work together to minimize launch timing and optimize commercialization by determining the most efficient manner to transfer the Regulatory Approval, including but not limited to, transition activities to be conducted by one or both Parties, at each Party’s expense, prior to the receipt of Regulatory Approval. Lilly hereby grants to Zosano a right of reference and access to such transferred Regulatory Approvals (including all clinical data information referenced therein) solely for purposes outside the Field and unrelated to the treatment of osteoporosis. Zosano shall be permitted to retain copies of such transferred Regulatory Approvals (including clinical data information). Lilly shall provide a letter of authorization to Zosano, in a form mutually acceptable to Zosano and Lilly, within fifteen (15) days of request from Zosano, in respect of such transferred Regulatory Approvals. Lilly shall take all actions reasonably necessary to effect such letter of authorization and right of reference and access. This right of reference and access, and Lilly’s obligations under this Section 4.6, shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

  4.7.4. an initiation of any Regulatory Authority investigation, detention, seizure or injunction concerning any Licensed Product; and

 

  4.7.5. any other regulatory action (e.g., proposed labeling or other registration dossier changes and recalls) that would affect any Licensed Product.

 

5. Commercialization Diligence. Lilly shall, at Lilly’s cost and expense, be responsible for and shall have the final decision-making authority for the planning, implementation and control of the Commercialization of the Daily Product in the Field in the Territory, including, without limitation, whether or not to launch the Daily Product in each country of the Territory, and determining and establishing the price and terms of sale (including any rebates or discounts) of the Daily Product in the Field for each country in the Territory. Zosano shall provide Reasonable Assistance to Lilly in initially implementing the Commercialization of the Daily Product. Following the achievement of each CSF with respect to the United States, Lilly shall use commercially reasonable efforts to Commercialize the Daily Product in the United States.

  responsibility for the Manufacture of commercial supplies of the Daily Product under Section 6.2, Zosano shall, at Zosano’s cost and expense, be responsible for and shall have the final decision-making authority (except for the selection of manufacturers which shall require Lilly’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) for the planning, implementation and control of the Manufacture of the Daily Product in the Field in the Territory. Aside from day to day management of the Manufacturing operations, Zosano’s final decision-making authority shall expire upon transfer of Regulatory Approval to Lilly pursuant to Section 4.6. Capital expenditures necessary to meet Zosano’s Manufacturing responsibilities to deliver the complete Product Patch system (including the applicator) and packaging shall be borne by Zosano. Lilly shall provide Reasonable Assistance to Zosano to enable Zosano to Manufacture commercial supplies of Daily Product. Zosano will provide commercial supplies of the complete Product Patch system (including the applicator) and packaging for the Daily Product to Lilly at the actual Manufacturing Cost but not to exceed the cost per day of therapy for the Product Patch system set forth in the table below.

Price (per day of therapy)

     [**]         [**]         [**]   

The Parties shall negotiate in good faith Supply and Quality Agreements incorporating these terms within one hundred twenty (120) days after the first submission for Regulatory Approval of a Daily Product in the Territory.

6.1. Inspection by Lilly. Upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Zosano, and during normal working hours, Zosano shall allow Lilly and/or its authorized representative or agents, to inspect the premises of Zosano or their contract manufacturer where the Daily Product manufacturing are conducted for purposes of overseeing and auditing the Manufacture (the “Audit”), provided that such Audit does not (i) unduly disrupt the normal operation of Zosano’s business or (ii) require Zosano to provide Lilly or its authorized representatives or agents any Confidential Information that is not related to the Manufacture of the Daily Product. In addition, the Parties agree that any such Audit shall not be conducted more than once every calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Lilly shall have the right to conduct one additional Audit prior to each first commercial sale of the Daily Product. Notwithstanding the above, for sufficient Cause which shall be communicated in writing to Zosano, Lilly may have immediate access during normal working hours limited to the extent of inspection directly related to such Cause, with appropriate protections to preserve the confidentiality of information at the applicable facility. “Cause” shall mean a Daily Product safety, health and safety, environmental or quality issue that has been specifically identified, or as mandated by Regulatory Authorities, and where time is of the essence. Any such audit conducted for “Cause” shall not supplant or negate the right for the annual Audit.

6.2. Zosano shall be responsible for obtaining the active pharmaceutical ingredients (“API”) required for its Manufacture of the Daily Product. The Parties acknowledge that as of the Effective Date, [**] is Zosano’s current supplier of API. Any change of supplier of

the Daily Product shall be acceptable to and approved by Lilly (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Zosano, in consultation with Lilly, shall be responsible for the Manufacture of the Daily Product according to specifications approved in the relevant Regulatory Approval. Lilly shall have the right to audit all Daily Product Manufacturing sites, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.1. Lilly shall have the right (but not the obligation), at any time after the transfer of Regulatory Approval to Lilly pursuant to Section 4.6, to assume responsibility for the Commercial Manufacturing governance/oversight. In the event that Lilly elects to assume responsibility for the Manufacture of commercial supplies of the Daily Product, Zosano shall provide Reasonable Assistance to Lilly in connection therewith.

 

7. Joint Collaboration Committee. For purposes of describing the general scope of the collaboration only, and subject to the obligations set forth more specifically in other sections of this Agreement, the Parties contemplate that Zosano would be responsible for management and funding of further Development activities and regulatory activities necessary to support registration of the Licensed Products in accordance with the Development Plan and, in the event Zosano achieves the Critical Success Factors, Lilly shall make the applicable milestone payments and thereafter be solely responsible for the conduct and funding of all Commercialization activities. Accordingly, the purpose of the JCC is to facilitate periodic communication between the Parties regarding their activities under this Agreement. The JCC will not serve as an alliance decision making body, nor will it have the power to amend or waive compliance with, or the terms of, this Agreement or determine whether a Party has committed a breach of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the JCC shall have no authority to determine whether a Development milestone should be pursued or amended or is achieved.

 

  7.1. Formation and Membership. As soon as practicable, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, the Parties will form a Joint Collaboration Committee (the “JCC”).

 

  7.2. Meetings. During the Term, the JCC shall meet in person at least twice per calendar year (and at least once every six (6) months) at times mutually agreed upon by the Parties. The location of the meetings of the JCC to be held in person shall alternate between sites designated by each Party. Other employees of each Party involved in the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Licensed Products under this Agreement may attend meetings of the JCC, with the consent of each Party, consultants, representatives or advisors involved in the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of Licensed Products under this Agreement may attend meetings of the JCC; provided, however, that such consultants, representatives and advisors are under obligations of confidentiality and non-use applicable to the Confidential Information of each Party and that are at least as stringent as those set forth in Section 15.

 

  7.3. Membership. The JCC shall be comprised of two (2) persons from each Party. A Party may replace any or all of its representatives on the JCC at any time upon written

  notice to the other Party. Any member of the JCC may designate a substitute to attend and perform the functions of that member at any meeting of the JCC; provided, however, that each JCC representative shall have sufficient experience and expertise in development, manufacturing or commercialization matters in the pharmaceuticals and/or biotechnology industries to serve on the JCC. The JCC shall have a chairperson, who prior to Lilly’s payment of the first Development milestone payment under Section 8.2 shall be a representative of Zosano designated by Zosano, and from and after Lilly’s payment of the first Development milestone payment under Section 8.2 shall be a representative of Lilly designated by Lilly. The JCC shall operate by vote, with the chairperson of the JCC shall have the sole and controlling vote.

 

  7.4. Responsibilities. The JCC shall have the primary responsibility of facilitating communication between the Parties regarding Development, Manufacturing and Commercialization activities. The JCC shall annually review the Development Plan to assess progress and make recommendations for modification in view of current business and/or regulatory conditions. In addition, the JCC may perform such other functions as appropriate to further the purposes of this Agreement as mutually agreed in writing by the Parties. The chairperson of the JCC shall be responsible for preparing and circulating an agenda in advance of each meeting of the JCC, and preparing and issuing minutes of each meeting promptly thereafter.

 

  7.5. Alliance Managers. Each Party shall appoint one representative who possesses a general understanding of this Agreement and of Development, regulatory and Commercialization issues to act as its alliance manager (each, an “Alliance Manager”). The role of the Alliance Manager is to act as a central point of contact between the Parties to assure a successful relationship between the Parties and to facilitate the flow of information and resolution of disputes (in accordance with Section 16.1) that may arise. All requests for support or information from one Party to the other will be routed through and managed by the Alliance Manager in order to minimize disruption to both Parties. Alliance Managers shall be active participants and attend meetings of the JCC and, as appropriate or requested, any subcommittees (and will help set agendas and facilitate meetings, but will not be the chairman, secretary (except with respect to the JCC) or a voting member of any subcommittee). Each Party may change its designated Alliance Manager from time to time upon written notice to the other Party.

 

8. Consideration

 

  8.1. Scope. The financial terms set forth in this Section 8 only apply to the Daily Product. Subject to Section 9.5.4, if Lilly wishes to Commercialize a Licensed Product with a New Dosing Duration, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith financial terms covering the additional Licensed Product.

 

  8.2. Development Milestone Payments. Zosano shall provide Lilly with written notice of the actual first occurrence of each of the Development milestones set forth below with respect to the Daily Product within thirty (30) days after such occurrence.

  9.2. Termination by Zosano. Zosano may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.3.4 on a country-by-country basis upon written notice to Lilly in the event it determines, in its sole discretion, that it is commercially or scientifically unreasonable to pursue a CSF and discontinues the development of the Daily Product.

  9.4. Termination for Material Breach. Upon or after the material breach of any provision of this Agreement, the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement if the breaching Party has not cured such breach within a sixty (60) day period following written notice of such breach by the non-breaching Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a non-monetary default, if the default is not reasonably capable of being cured within the sixty (60) day cure period by the defaulting Party and such defaulting Party makes a good faith effort to cure such default, the cure period shall be extended from sixty (60) days to ninety (90) days from such original notice of default. If a breach remains uncured after the aforementioned periods of time to cure such breach, then the non-breaching Party shall have the option of terminating this Agreement or continuing under this Agreement (in which case the non-breaching Party shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement), but in either case the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to recover damages incurred as a result of such breach from the breaching Party pursuant to Section 16.1. If a breach remains uncured after the aforementioned periods of time to cure such breach and the non-breaching Party decides to terminate this Agreement, then all licenses granted hereunder shall automatically terminate and the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to recover damages incurred as a result of such breach from the breaching Party.

  9.5.2. Upon termination by Lilly pursuant to Section 9.3, (i) all licenses hereunder shall automatically terminate, (ii) Zosano shall retain all rights to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize, and otherwise use and exploit, Licensed Products, and (iii) the right of reinstatement (as described in Section 9.5.3) and the Proposal (as described in Section 9.5.4) shall each terminate and be of no further force and effect.

 

  9.5.3. Right of Reinstatement. In the event Zosano terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2 and subsequently wishes to restart Development activities of a Daily Product, then it shall offer Lilly the right to reinstate the terms of this Agreement by providing written notice to Lilly (the “Reinstatement Offer”). If Lilly accepts the Reinstatement Offer by providing written notice of acceptance to Zosano within thirty (30) days after Lilly’s receipt of the Reinstatement Offer, then the terms of this Agreement shall be reinstated automatically. If Lilly does not accept the Reinstatement Offer but instead proposes to Zosano in writing within thirty (30) days after Lilly’s receipt of the Reinstatement Offer new financial terms for the Daily Product, and Zosano accepts such new financial terms, then this Agreement will be reinstated with such new financial terms. If Zosano does not accept Lilly’s proposed new financial terms, then Zosano shall not enter into an agreement to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize a Daily Product with any Third Party prior to August 19, 2019. If Lilly refuses the Reinstatement Offer or fails to propose to Zosano in writing within thirty (30) days after Lilly’s receipt of the Reinstatement Offer new financial terms for the Daily Product, then this Agreement shall remain terminated, Lilly shall have no further rights of reinstatement hereunder and Zosano shall not Commercialize a Daily Product prior to August 19, 2019.

 

  9.5.4. New Dosing Duration Proposal. If Zosano determines in good faith during the Term of this Agreement, that a Licensed Product with a New Dosing Duration would be more successful than the Daily Product, then Zosano shall provide written notice thereof to Lilly. If Lilly and Zosano mutually agree to proceed with such New Dosing Duration, then they shall attempt to negotiate new financial terms for the Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of such Licensed Product. If Zosano accepts such financial terms, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms of a definitive agreement for the Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of such Licensed Product with a New Dosing Duration (a “Definitive Agreement”). If a Definitive Agreement cannot be entered into or Lilly refuses the initial written notice, then the Parties will not Develop such Licensed Product with a New Dosing Duration during the Term of this Agreement.

 

  9.5.5. Accrued Rights. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, all rights and obligations of the Parties shall terminate upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any rights or obligations accruing prior to such expiration or termination.

  9.5.8. Rights in Bankruptcy. The occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to Zosano, will not, in itself, impact either Party’s license rights under this Agreement, or adversely impact the right of Zosano to receive royalties or milestones. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by either Party to the other Party are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, licenses of right to “intellectual property” as defined under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

The fees charged by such accounting firm will be paid by Zosano unless any additional royalties owed exceed five percent (5%) and $100,000 of the royalties paid for the royalty period subject to the audit, in which case Lilly will pay the reasonable fees of the accounting firm.

Lilly hereby assigns and agrees to assign its right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Technology to Zosano and shall cause any employees, agents, representatives, advisors or consultants of Lilly and its Affiliates, and their respective sublicensees, to execute formal assignments and any such instruments prepared by Zosano, which Zosano deems necessary to vest its ownership of the Licensed Technology.

Subject to the provisions of this Section 11.2 and any written agreements existing as of the Effective Date with respect to the prosecution of the Licensed Patents, Zosano, at its sole discretion and expense, will file, prosecute, maintain and determine the strategy of prosecution of the Licensed Patents. If requested by the JCC, Zosano shall timely provide the JCC with copies of all material correspondence from any Patent Authority regarding Licensed Patents, provided such material correspondence cannot be obtained from a Patent Authority website. Zosano shall provide Lilly with a copy of any proposed filing with any Patent Authority in connection with proceedings before any Patent Authority with Licensed Patents and shall provide to Lilly a reasonable opportunity (at least ten (10) calendar days) to comment on any such proposed filing with respect to such Licensed Patents, which comments Zosano shall consider in good faith. If Zosano elects to discontinue prosecution or maintenance of any Licensed Patent, Zosano shall so advise Lilly in writing at least sixty (60) calendar days in advance of such discontinuance and, if requested by Lilly, shall discuss with Lilly Zosano’s reasons for such discontinuance. If requested by Lilly, at Lilly’s cost, Zosano will or will authorize Lilly to take action to prevent such abandonment of such Licensed Patent, unless Zosano has a material business or legal reason for not taking such action.

 

12. Enforcement of Intellectual Property

 

  12.1. Notice of Infringement; Enforcement of Intellectual Property. Each Party shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) business days in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) below) report in writing to the other Party during the Term (i) any known or suspected infringement of, or unauthorized use of, or challenge to, any of the Licensed Technology, (ii) any certification filed pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355(b)(2)(A)(vii) or 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(A)(vii) (or any amendment or successor statute thereto) claiming

 

CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. DOUBLE ASTERISKS [**] DENOTE OMISSIONS

 

19


  that any Patent Rights within the Licensed Technology are invalid or otherwise unenforceable, or that infringement will not arise from the manufacture, use, import, offer for sale, or sale of a product by a Third Party, or (iii) without limiting the generality of Section 13, any claim by a Third Party that the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any Licensed Product or the practice by either Party of the Licensed Technology infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of such Third Party, and shall provide the other Party with all available evidence supporting such known or suspected infringement or unauthorized use. For any of the disclosure or notification obligations of the Parties under this Section 12.1, it is understood that all information disclosed under such obligations is covered by the provisions of Section 15, and further that neither Party shall be required, by such obligations, to disclose legally privileged information or information with respect to which such Party is subject to confidentiality or other contractual obligations to Third Parties, unless required to do so by operation of law.

 

  12.2. As between Zosano and Lilly, Zosano shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to enforce and/or defend the Licensed Patents. If requested to do so by Zosano, Lilly shall reasonably cooperate with Zosano, at Zosano’s cost, in the enforcement or defense of the Licensed Patents and provide Zosano Reasonable Assistance. Lilly shall be kept reasonably advised at all times of such suit or proceedings brought by Zosano with respect to the Licensed Patents. Within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of an infringement or a lawsuit on the validity of a patent (or, in the case of a certification received pursuant to either 21 U.S.C. §§ 355(b)(2)(A)(iv) or (j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) or its successor provisions, or any similar provision in a country in the Territory other than the United States, within ten (10) business days), Zosano shall determine if it or a Third Party shall institute legal action and shall notify Lilly of such determination. If Zosano fails to institute legal action to enforce and/or defend the Licensed Patents within the aforementioned period, then subject to any rights of any Third Party to enforce the Licensed Patents, Lilly shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause Zosano to initiate and to conduct such legal action, at Lilly’s sole cost and expense. If Zosano does institute such legal action, but desires at any point in such legal action to cease to continue with such action and no Third Party exercises its right to enforce the Licensed Patents, then Zosano will provide a reasonable written notice to Lilly prior to discontinuing such action. The foregoing will be subject in its entirety to the rights of any Third Party to enforce the Licensed Patents under any written agreement existing as of the Effective Date, including, without limitation, to ALZA Corporation’s rights under Sections 7.4 and 7.5 of the ALZA Agreement relating to infringement claims.

 

  12.3. Conduct of Enforcement. If Lilly is required under any law to join any such legal action initiated by Zosano or if the failure of Lilly to become a party to such suit, action or proceeding would in the opinion of counsel to the Zosano risk dismissal thereof, Lilly shall execute all papers and perform such other acts as may be reasonably required to permit the litigation to be initiated or conducted (including initiating a suit before a court or tribunal at the Zosano’s request or permitting Zosano or any Third Party with rights to enforce the Licensed Patents under written agreement with Zosano as of the Effective Date, initiate a legal action in the name of itself and

If Lilly is required to be joined as a party in any action initiated by Zosano, then upon the request of Zosano, Lilly shall waive any objection to such joinder on the grounds of personal jurisdiction, venue, or forum non conveniens.

 

  12.4. Settlement and Recoveries. The party enforcing and/or defending the Licensed Patents may enter into any settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of any action contemplated by this Section 12.2 without Lilly’s prior consent; provided, however, that (i) Lilly receives a general release of any claims against it in such proceeding and is promptly provided thereafter a copy of such settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary disposition, and (ii) such settlement does not have a material adverse impact on the rights granted to Lilly hereunder or on the scope or enforceability of the Licensed Patents or result in a payment or other liability or admission by Lilly to a Third Party. Any other settlement, consent judgment or voluntary final disposition of any proceeding under Section 12 by the Party enforcing and/or defending the Licensed Patents shall require the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. With respect to any suit or action regarding the Licensed Technology as set forth in the above, any recovery obtained by Lilly or Zosano as a result of any such proceeding, by settlement or otherwise, shall (x) first be used to reimburse Lilly and Zosano for their reasonable costs and legal fees incurred in the conduct of such proceedings, and (y) any remaining proceeds shall be allocated equally (50/50) between the Parties.

 

  12.5. Trademarks. Lilly shall have the sole right to develop trademarks and trade dress in connection with the Commercialization of any Licensed Product in the Territory, and Lilly shall own such trademarks and trade dress, and all associated goodwill, and shall prosecute, maintain and enforce such trademarks and trade dress at its own cost and discretion. Lilly shall provide Zosano with the trademark and trade dress information necessary to apply for Regulatory Approvals and the parties shall cooperate in the preparation thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Zosano shall promptly notify Lilly of any known, threatened or suspected infringement, imitation or unauthorized use of or unfair competition relating to such trademarks and trade dress, and shall cooperate with Lilly and use reasonable efforts to assist Lilly in the protection of such trademarks and trade dress, if such additional cooperation or assistance is reasonably requested by Lilly and at Lilly’s cost.

 

  12.6. Inventorship. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, inventorship shall be determined in accordance with U.S. patent law.

 

13. Indemnification

Each Party shall adopt and maintain programs and procedures that are reasonably calculated to protect the confidentiality of Confidential Information, including maintaining a record of to whom Confidential Information has been disclosed, and shall be responsible to the other Party for any disclosure or misuse of Confidential Information that results from a failure to comply with the terms of this Section 15 by such Party or such Party’s Representatives. Each Party shall promptly report to the other Party any actual or suspected violation of the terms of this Section 15 and shall take all reasonable further steps requested by the other Party to prevent, control or remedy any such violation. A breach of this Section 15 by either Party’s Representative shall be considered a breach by such Party itself.

 

  15.2. Limitations on Obligations. The obligations of each Party specified in this Section 15 shall not apply, and such Party shall have no further obligations, with respect to any Confidential Information of the other Party that the receiving Party can prove by competent written evidence:

  15.3.6. Zosano may provide to ALZA Corporation a copy of this Agreement, redacted by Lilly to exclude any information not necessary for assessing Zosano’s compliance with the ALZA Agreement;

provided, however, that, if a Party is required to make a disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 15.3 it shall, except where impracticable, give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure request or requirement so that the other Party may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Party that is required to make the disclosure shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party (at such other Party’s sole cost and expense) to obtain such a protective order or other remedy. If such order or other remedy is not obtained, or the other Party waives compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, then such Party shall only disclose that portion of the Confidential Information which it is advised by counsel that it is legally required to so disclose and shall use reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance (at the other Party’s sole cost and expense) that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information so disclosed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties shall consult with each other on the provisions of this Agreement to be redacted in any filings made by either Party with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or foreign counterpart or as otherwise required by law.

The proposing Party shall (a) give due consideration to any editorial comments of the other Party, (b) comply with the other Party’s request to delete references to such Party’s

29


  bond, and in addition to all other remedies that may be available, shall be entitled to seek equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy in a court of competent jurisdiction that may then be available.

    Serial assessments of serum calcium (5-10 min after patch application, 30 min after injection, 4 hrs, 6 hrs , 10 hrs post-dose) in a subset of patients at selected sites (approximately 80 subjects)
    Pharmacokinetic assessment of PTH(1-34) in the same subset and at the same time points.
    Retention of patches for residual PTH analysis – in the same subset of patients
    Anti-PTH antibodies (weeks 0, 24, 48 and 72)
    12-lead ECGs (time point TBD)
    Assessment of concomitant medications
    Review of adverse events
    Patient topical assessment on a short questionnaire. If topical experience is limited to expected phenomena such as erythema, no additional adverse experience report is needed.
    Topical assessment by the investigator:
        Immediately after patch removal for patch applications performed at the site
        Assessment of the application site of the prior day (to be marked by patients)
        Modified Draize scale will be used

STUDY PROCEDURES  

Up to two screening visits

 

Initial treatment visit

 

Interim visits at weeks 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60

 

Termination visit at week 72

 

Phone calls to foster compliance every two weeks between visits central evaluation and quality control of DXA scans

 

Archiving of blood samples to allow for analysis of additional markers of bone turnover

STATISTICAL ANALYSES  

The primary endpoint of the study, percent change in lumbar spine BMD, will be assessed in the per-protocol population. Non-inferiority of the investigational regimen to the comparator regimen will be concluded if the upper limit of the two-sided 95% confidence interval for the difference between the comparator and the test regimen is not greater than 1.5% (margin of non-inferiority).

 

No alpha adjustment for multiple testing will be necessary because a sequential testing procedure will be applied: The test for non-inferiority of the 30 µg dose will be performed only if non-inferiority of the 40 µg dose has been concluded.
