            2.4.2    Anacor Diligence Failure Event.    In the event that at any time during the Research Collaboration Term Anacor materially fails to conduct the Research Collaboration with respect to a given Target and/or Collaboration Compound in accordance with its diligence obligations under Section 2.4 (including 2.4.1), then GSK shall have the right to allege a failure of diligence on the part of Anacor (an "Anacor Diligence Failure Event") by written notice of same to Anacor, such notice to set forth the detailed basis for such alleged failure of diligence. Subject to Section 2.4.3 below, upon receipt of such notice of an Anacor Diligence Failure Event, Anacor shall have [***] within which to cure such Anacor Diligence Failure Event. Upon conclusion of [***] cure period, if Anacor has not cured such Anacor Diligence Failure Event to GSK's reasonable satisfaction, GSK shall have the right to immediately terminate, upon written notice to Anacor, the Project to which the Anacor Diligence Failure Event relates (a "Project Termination"). Upon a Project Termination, the Leading Compound with respect to such Project, all Back-Up Compounds and, solely with respect to Project 1, Follow-On Compounds related thereto, and all other Collaboration Compounds as provided in Sections 4.1.1(a)(iii), (b)(iii), (c)(iii) and (d)(iii) (as applicable to the terminated Project) shall be deemed to be GSK Development Compounds. In this regard but subject to Section 2.4.3, Anacor shall grant and does hereby grant, as of the effective date of the Project Termination, an exclusive (even as to Anacor and its Affiliates), worldwide license (with the right to grant sublicenses) under the Anacor IP to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and import Products incorporating such GSK Development Compounds from the terminated Project in the Field throughout the Territory. GSK shall pay to Anacor a royalty on annual Net Sales of such Product at a rate that is equal to fifty percent (50%) of the applicable royalty rates set forth in Section 6.5 as follows: (a) in the event that such GSK Development Compound incorporated in such Product has not achieved the Candidate Selection Criteria prior to the effective date of Project Termination, the applicable royalty rate shall be the royalty rate for the exercise of the Candidate Selection Option with respect to the terminated Project; (b) in the event that such GSK Development Compound has achieved the Candidate Selection Criteria prior to the effective date of the Project Termination, the applicable royalty rate shall be the royalty rate for the exercise of the PoC Option with respect to the terminated Project. Except with respect to royalties as provided in this Section 2.4.2, no milestone payments or other fees, costs or payments of any kind shall be owed to Anacor on account of Collaboration Compounds that become GSK Development Compounds as a result of a Project Termination. The remedies set forth in this Section 2.4.2 shall be GSK's sole remedy, and Anacor's sole liability, in connection with an Anacor Diligence Failure Event. The Parties understand and agree that, due to the nature of the collaboration under this Agreement, damages to GSK resulting from a material breach by Anacor of its diligence obligations under this Agreement would be difficult to calculate accurately, and thus the remedies set forth herein represent a rational relationship between the damages from the material breach of diligence on the one hand, and the cumulative loss to GSK of its expectation interest and its lost investment and lost potential return on investment due to the upfront payment, milestone payments made and research funding provided hereunder.

Once a Designated Target is selected, the Parties shall prepare a Research Plan setting forth the activities to be conducted by Anacor and/or GSK during the Research Collaboration Term for Project 4 and shall submit such Research Plan to the JRC for review, comment and approval. [***].

        2.6    Development of Collaboration Compounds.    

            2.6.1    Anacor Responsibility.    Prior to GSK's exercise of an Option with respect to a Collaboration Compound and subject to Section 2.6.3, Anacor shall have primary responsibility for conducting the pre-clinical and clinical development activities for each Collaboration Compound in each Project (including clinical trials and submissions to Regulatory Authorities) in accordance with this Agreement, the Research Plans and as directed by the JRC (and JPT with respect to Project 1). GSK shall have the opportunity to provide advice to Anacor (which shall be considered in good faith by Anacor) regarding the development of Collaboration Compounds through GSK's participation in the JRC (and JPT with respect to Project 1), and shall have such other development responsibilities as are set forth in this Agreement or are mutually agreed by the Parties in writing.

        6.9    Reports; Royalty Payments.    Until the expiration of a Party's royalty obligations under this Article 6, such Party agrees to make written reports to the other Party within [***] after the end of each Calendar Quarter covering all sales of Products in the Territory by such Party, its Affiliates and Sublicensees for which invoices were sent during such Calendar Quarter, each such written report in reasonable detail as available to such Party stating for the period in question: (a) the total Net Sales for each Product (including an itemization of the deductions applied to such gross sales to derive such Net Sales); and (b) a calculation of the amount of royalty payment due on such Net Sales pursuant to Article 6. The information contained in each report under this Section 6.9 shall be considered Confidential Information of the Party providing the report. Concurrent with the delivery of each such report, the Party delivering such report shall make the royalty payment due the other Party under Article 6 for the Calendar Quarter covered by such report.

        6.11    Accounting.    Payor agrees to keep full, clear and accurate records for a maximum period of [***] after the relevant payment is owed pursuant to this Agreement, setting forth the sales and other disposition of Product sold or otherwise disposed of in sufficient detail to enable royalties and compensation payable to the Payee hereunder to be determined. Payor further agrees, upon not less than [***] prior written notice, to permit the books and records relating to such [***] period to be examined by an independent accounting firm selected by Payee and reasonably acceptable to Payor for the purpose of verifying reports provided by Payor under Section 6.9. Such audit shall not be performed more frequently than once per calendar year and shall be conducted under appropriate confidentiality provisions, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy and completeness of all financial, accounting and numerical information and calculations provided under this Agreement. Such examination is to be made at the expense of Payee, except in the event that the results of the audit reveal an underpayment of royalties, milestones, or other payments to Payee under this Agreement of [***] for more over the period being audited, in which case reasonable audit fees for such examination shall be paid by Payor. When calculating Net Sales, the amount of such sales in foreign currencies shall be converted into Dollars using the standard methodologies employed by Payor for consolidation purposes. Payor shall provide reasonable documentation of the calculation and reconciliation of the conversion figures on a country-by-country basis as part of its report of Net Sales for the period covered under the report.

        6.12    Taxes.    If a law or regulation of any country of the Territory requires withholding of taxes of any type, levies or other charges with respect to any amounts payable hereunder to Payee, Payor shall promptly pay such tax, levy, or charge for and on behalf of Payee to the proper governmental authority, and shall furnish Payee with documentation of such payment. Payor shall have the right to deduct any such tax, levy or charge actually paid from payment due Payee or be promptly reimbursed by Payee if no further payments are due Payee. Payor agrees to assist Payee in claiming exemption from such deductions or withholdings under double taxation or similar agreement or treaty from time to time in force and in minimizing the amount required to be so withheld or deducted. The recipient of any transfer under this Agreement of Patents, Information, Collaboration Compounds, or Products, as the case may be, shall be solely responsible for any sales, use, value added, excise or other taxes applicable to such transfer.

        6.13    Late Payments.    Any amount owed by Payor to Payee under this Agreement that is not paid within the applicable time period set forth herein shall accrue interest at the rate of two percent (2%) above the then-applicable prime commercial lending rate of Citibank, N.A., San Francisco, California, or, if lower, the highest rate permitted under applicable law.

            8.1.1    Solely-Owned Intellectual Property.    Anacor shall retain all of its rights, title and interest in and to the Anacor IP, and GSK shall retain all of its rights, title and interest in and to the GSK IP, except to the extent that any rights or licenses are expressly granted by one Party to the other Party under this Agreement.

            8.1.2    Collaboration IP.    GSK shall be the sole owner of any Collaboration IP discovered, developed, invented or created solely by or on behalf of GSK personnel, and GSK shall retain all of its rights, title and interest thereto, except to the extent that any rights or licenses are expressly granted thereunder by GSK to Anacor under this Agreement. Anacor shall be the sole owner of any Collaboration IP discovered, developed, invented or created solely by or on behalf of Anacor personnel, and Anacor shall retain all of its rights, title and interest thereto, except to the extent that any rights or licenses are expressly granted thereunder to GSK under this Agreement. Any Collaboration IP that is discovered, developed, invented or created jointly by or on behalf of GSK and Anacor shall be owned jointly by GSK and Anacor, and all rights, title and interest thereto shall be jointly owned by the Parties, except to the extent that any exclusive rights or licenses are expressly granted to a Party under this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither Party shall have any obligation to account to the other for profits, or to obtain any consent of the other Party to license or exploit patented jointly-owned subject matter, by reason of joint ownership thereof, and each Party hereby waives any right it may have under the laws of any jurisdiction to require any such consent or accounting.

        8.2    Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents.    

            8.2.1    Patent Filings.    The Party responsible for Prosecution and Maintenance of any Patents as set forth in Sections 8.2.2 and 8.2.3 below (the "Prosecuting Party") shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a reasonable scope of protection for Collaboration Compounds, using counsel of its own choice but reasonably acceptable to the other Party. Each Party shall keep the other Party informed as to material developments with respect to the Prosecution and Maintenance of such Patents, including by providing copies of all office actions or any other substantive documents that such Party receives from any patent office, including notice of all interferences, reissues, re-examinations, oppositions or requests for patent term extensions, and by providing the other Party the timely opportunity to have reasonable input into the strategic aspects of such Prosecution and Maintenance. In addition, Anacor will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a reasonable scope of protection for Collaboration Compounds covered by any claims of the Anacor Patents, using counsel of its own choice but reasonably acceptable to GSK, and will consider and discuss in good faith reasonable comments timely provided GSK. In light of the new prosecution rules promulgated by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, effective November 1, 2007, and the likelihood for future changes in US Patent System and future changes to the European Patent Convention (EPC) (collectively, the "New Rules") and rules of practice in effect at the Effective Date (together with the New Rules, the "Rules") each Party will consult with the other Party prior to the filing of any Patents on Collaboration IP. The Parties will come to an agreement on filing strategy in view of the

44


    Rules (e.g., claim limitations and continuation practice limitations mandated by the New Rules). In addition, the Parties will discuss in good faith with each other the breadth of any such Patent filings in countries outside of the United States. Should the Parties fail to agree on any matter in this Section 8.2.1, such matter will be presented to the JPS for resolution.

            8.2.2    Anacor Patents.    In recognition that one or more of the Anacor Patents is or may be licensed to one or more Third Parties, as described in Section 8.6, during the Term Anacor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work in consultation with GSK to Prosecute and Maintain its Anacor Patents in a manner that reasonably separates the compounds and related rights licensed to such Third Parties from those Collaboration Compounds and related rights licensed or to be licensed (pursuant to an Option) to GSK as contemplated by this Agreement. Such consultation with GSK shall be done in a manner allowing a reasonable opportunity by GSK and Anacor to provide input in view of the Rules, and each Party agrees to give such input due consideration. Input shall be provided and consideration undertaken and concluded in a timely manner so as not to jeopardize the pendency of the application under review or otherwise negatively affect or limit the rights of Anacor, GSK or any Third Party licensee of Anacor IP. Should the Parties fail to agree on any matter in this Section 8.2.2, such matter will be presented to the JPS for resolution.

            8.2.3    Collaboration Patents.    The responsibility and strategy for Prosecution and Maintenance of any Collaboration Patents shall be mutually agreed by GSK and Anacor. The Parties shall cooperate to prepare and Prosecute and Maintain patent applications included in the Collaboration Patents in a manner that ensures a reasonable scope of protection for such subject matter and preserves the rights of each collaborator in the Collaboration Patents. In the event of any dispute regarding the Prosecution and Maintenance of any Collaboration Patents and existing Third Party rights identified under Section 8.6, Anacor shall have the final say with respect to decisions made prior to GSK's exercise of its Option with respect to such Collaboration Patents or after GSK's termination of Development, and GSK shall have final say after such exercise, with respect to those claims that cover any Collaboration Compound as to which GSK exercises its Option; provided, however, that neither Party can make a "final say" in any Prosecution or Maintenance matter that decreases the number of continuation applications, divisional applications or requests for continuing examination that the other Party (or any Third Party) can Prosecute and Maintain within the Collaboration Patents. If the decision of one Party would result in loss of the other Party's right to file a continuation application, a divisional application or a request for continuing examination within in the Collaboration Patents, the matter will be presented to the JPS for resolution.

            8.2.4    Target IP.    Anacor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work in consultation with GSK to Prosecute and Maintain its Anacor Target Patents, and GSK shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work in consultation with Anacor to Prosecute and Maintain its GSK Target Patents; provided, however, that neither Party shall be required to disclose any confidential information that is not specific to the Research Collaboration. Input shall be

Should the Parties fail to agree on any matter in this Section 8.2.4, such matter will be presented to the JPS for resolution.

            8.2.5    Prosecution Lapse.    If, during the Term, the Party responsible for prosecuting a Patent in the Anacor Patents or Collaboration IP intends to allow such Patent to lapse or become abandoned without having first filed a substitute, the Prosecuting Party shall, whenever practicable, notify the other Party of such intention at least [***] prior to the date upon which such Patent shall lapse or become abandoned, and such other Party shall thereupon have the right, but not the obligation, to assume responsibility for the Prosecution and Maintenance thereof at its own expense with counsel of its own choice.

        8.3    Patent Costs.    

            8.3.1    Collaboration Patents.    Each Party shall be responsible for costs associated with the Prosecution and Maintenance of any Collaboration Patents that it owns solely. Anacor and GSK shall share equally the Patent Costs associated with the Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents in the jointly owned Collaboration Patents, unless the Parties otherwise agree.

            8.3.2    Existing Anacor IP and GSK IP.    Anacor shall be responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of the Patent Costs incurred by Anacor prior to and after the Effective Date in all countries in the Territory with respect to any Anacor IP. GSK shall be responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of the Patent Costs incurred by GSK prior to and after the Effective Date in all countries in the Territory with respect to GSK IP.

            8.3.3    Patent Costs Following GSK's Exercise of the Option.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, following GSK's exercise of an Option, GSK, upon receipt of invoice from Anacor, shall reimburse Anacor its reasonable and documented Patent Costs associated with the Prosecution and Maintenance of all Anacor IP over which Anacor has the responsibility for Prosecution and Maintenance and which contain claims covering such Collaboration Compounds. Patent Costs associated with the Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents licensed to Third Parties shall be limited to [***]. All such reimbursements shall be limited to those expenses incurred after the Effective Date. Anacor has the right to choose outside counsel for Prosecution and Maintenance of Anacor Patents over which Anacor has the responsibility for Prosecution and Maintenance; however, if GSK is not satisfied with external counsel used by Anacor after GSK exercises its Option, GSK has the right to request that Anacor transfer responsibility for Prosecution and Maintenance of such Anacor Patents to a different external law firm that is reasonably acceptable to Anacor, which request will not be unreasonably denied by Anacor. If Prosecution and Maintenance of any Anacor Patent transferred to new outside counsel at GSK's request affects Anacor's rights or those of a Third Party licensee of the Anacor

    Patents, GSK will consult with Anacor before making any decision relevant to the Prosecution and Maintenance of such Anacor Patent. Consultation will be concluded in a timely manner so as not to adversely affect the rights of any Party under the Anacor Patents. If GSK and Anacor are unable to agree on Prosecution and Maintenance of such Anacor Patents, the matter will be decided by the JPS. Requests by GSK that, in the judgment of the Anacor, will adversely affect the existing Third Party rights identified under Section 8.6 will be referred to the JPS for resolution.

        8.4    Defense of Claims Brought by Third Parties.    

            8.4.1    Collaboration Compounds.    If a Third Party asserts that a Patent or other right owned by it is infringed by the manufacture, use, sale or importation of any Collaboration Compound as to which GSK has not exercised its Option, or any Anacor Development Compound, Anacor shall have the primary right but not the obligation to defend against any such assertions at its cost and expense. In the event Anacor elects to defend against any such Third Party claims, Anacor shall have the sole right to direct the defense of any such Third Party claims and to elect to settle such claims. In the event that Anacor elects not to defend against such Third Party claims within [***] of learning of same, GSK shall have the right, but not the duty, to defend against such an action and thereafter shall have the right to direct the defense of any such Third Party claim(s), including the right to settle such claims, but only with the consent of Anacor, not to be unreasonably withheld. In any event, the Parties shall reasonably assist one another and cooperate in any such litigation at the other's request without expense to the requesting Party. Each Party may at its own expense and with its own counsel join any defense brought by the other Party.

            8.4.2    GSK Development Compounds.    If a Third Party asserts that a Patent or other right owned by it is infringed by the manufacture, use, sale or importation of any GSK Development Compound, GSK shall have the primary right but not the obligation to defend against any such assertions at its cost and expense. In the event GSK elects to defend against any such Third Party claims, GSK shall have the sole right to direct the defense of any such Third Party claims and to elect to settle such claims. In the event that GSK elects not to defend against such Third Party claims within [***] of learning of same, Anacor shall have the right, but not the duty, to defend against such an action and thereafter shall have the sole right to direct the defense of any such Third Party claim(s), including the right to settle such claims. In any event, the Parties shall reasonably assist one another and cooperate in any such litigation at the other's request without expense to the requesting Party. Each Party may at its own expense and with its own counsel join any defense brought by the other Party.

    activity by a Third Party with respect to any Collaboration IP, Anacor IP or GSK IP by reason of the manufacture, importation, use or sale of a product identical to or substantially similar to any Collaboration Compound, within the Territory ("Competitive Infringement"), such Party shall promptly notify the other Party and shall provide such other Party with available evidence of such Competitive Infringement.

            8.5.2    Prior to Exercise of Option.    Prior to GSK's exercise of its Option, or after GSK's termination of Development and commercialization, with respect to the Collaboration Compounds that are the subject of any Competitive Infringement, Anacor shall have the primary right, but not the obligation, to institute, prosecute, and control any action or proceeding with respect thereto by counsel of its own choice, and GSK shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in that action by counsel of its own choice. If Anacor fails to bring any such action or proceeding within a period of [***] after first being notified of such Competitive Infringement, then GSK shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring and control any such action by counsel of its own choice, and Anacor shall have the right to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice at its own expense.

            8.5.3    Following Exercise of Option.    Following GSK's exercise of its Option, and before GSK's termination of Development and commercialization, with respect to the Collaboration Compounds that are the subject of any Competitive Infringement, GSK shall have the primary right, but not the obligation, to institute, prosecute, and control any action or proceeding with respect thereto by counsel of its own choice, and Anacor shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in that action by counsel of its own choice. If GSK fails to bring an action or proceeding within a period of [***] after first being notified of such Competitive Infringement, Anacor shall have the right to bring and control any such action by counsel of its own choice, and GSK shall have the right to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice at its own expense.

            8.5.4    Share of Recoveries.    If one Party brings any such action or proceeding in accordance with this Section 8.5, the second Party agrees to be joined as a party plaintiff where necessary and to give the first Party reasonable assistance and authority to file and prosecute the suit. The costs and expenses of the Party bringing suit under this Section 8.5 shall be borne by such Party, and any damages or other monetary awards recovered shall be shared as follows: (i) the amount of such recovery actually received by the Party controlling such action shall first be applied to the out-of-pocket costs of such action; and then (ii) any remaining proceeds shall be allocated between the Parties (A) if such action related solely to GSK Development Compounds (i.e., after exercise by GSK of its Option), allocated between the Parties such that the Party bringing suit under this Section 8.5 retains [***] and the other Party retains [***] of such amount, or (B) if such action related solely to products identical to or substantially similar to Collaboration Compounds that are not GSK Development Compounds, retained [***]. A settlement or consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of a suit under this Section 8.5 may be entered into without the consent of the Party not bringing the suit; provided

    that such settlement, consent judgment or other disposition does not admit the invalidity or unenforceability of the relevant Patent in the Anacor Patents, Anacor Target Patents, GSK Patents, GSK Target Patents, or Collaboration IP, and provided further, that any rights granted under the relevant Patent to continue the infringing activity in such settlement, consent judgment or other disposition shall be limited to those rights that the granting Party otherwise has the right to grant.

            8.5.5    Other Infringement.    Subject to Sections 8.5.1 through 8.5.4 above, with respect to the infringement of jointly owned Collaboration IP which is not a Competitive Infringement, each Party may proceed in such manner as the law permits. Each Party shall bear its own expenses, and any recovery obtained by either Party may be retained by such Party unless otherwise agreed. In addition, Anacor shall retain all rights to pursue an infringement of any Patent solely owned by Anacor that is other than a Competitive Infringement, and GSK shall retain all rights to pursue an infringement of any Patent solely owned by GSK that is other than a Competitive Infringement.

            8.5.6    35 USC 271(e)(2) Infringement.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.5, for infringement under 35 USC 271(e)(2) where GSK has exercised its Option under Article 4 of this Agreement and where GSK is the holder of the applicable NDA, and for so long as GSK maintains or retains its exclusive license under such Option, GSK has the sole right to initiate legal action to enforce all Anacor IP licensed to it pursuant to Section 4.3.2 against infringement or misappropriation by Third Parties or defend any declaratory judgment action relating thereto at its sole expense

            8.5.7    Regulatory Data Protection.    To the extent required by law or permitted by law, each Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly, accurately and completely list, with the applicable Regulatory Authorities during the Term, all applicable Patents for any Product that such Party intends to, or has begun to commercialize, and that have become the subject of a marketing application submitted to FDA, such listings to include all so called "Orange Book" listings required under the Hatch-Waxman Act and all so called "Patent Register" listings as required in Canada. Prior to such listings, the Parties will meet to evaluate and identify all applicable Patents. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Party holding the NDA for the applicable Product will retain final decision making authority as to the listing of all applicable Patents for such Product, regardless of which Party owns such Patent.

        8.6    Other Agreement(s).    GSK's rights under this Article 8 with respect to any Anacor Patents or Collaboration Patents shall be subject to the rights that one or more Third Parties may have, or the obligations that Anacor may have, in each case to file, prosecute, maintain, and/or enforce such Patents under the agreement(s) listed in Exhibit 8.6.

        9.3    Press Release; Disclosure of Agreement.    On or promptly after the Effective Date, the Parties shall jointly issue a public announcement of the execution of this Agreement in such form separately agreed upon between the Parties. Neither Party shall be free to issue any press release or other public disclosure regarding the Agreement or the Parties' activities hereunder, or any results or data arising hereunder, except with the other Party's prior written consent, or except as reasonably necessary to comply with all applicable national securities exchange listing requirements or laws, rules or regulations. The Parties agree to consult with each other reasonably and in good faith with respect to the text and timing of any such press releases prior to the issuance thereof, and a Party may not unreasonably withhold consent to such releases. Except to the extent required by law or as otherwise permitted in accordance with this Section 9.3, neither Party shall make any public announcements concerning this Agreement or the subject matter hereof without the prior written consent of the other, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The principles to be observed by Anacor and GSK in any such permitted public disclosures with respect to this Agreement shall be: accuracy and completeness, the requirements of confidentiality under this Article 9, and the normal business practice in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries for disclosures by companies comparable to Anacor and GSK. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent information regarding this Agreement has already been publicly disclosed other than through any act or omission of a Party in breach of this Agreement, either Party may subsequently disclose the same information to the public without the consent of the other Party. Each Party shall be permitted to disclose the terms of this Agreement, in each case under appropriate confidentiality provisions substantially equivalent to those of this Agreement, to any actual or potential acquirers, merger partners, and professional advisors. Each Party shall give the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review all filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission describing the terms of this Agreement prior to submission of such filings, and shall give due consideration to any reasonable comments by the non-filing Party relating to such filing, including the provisions of this Agreement for which confidential treatment should be sought.

        9.4    Termination of Prior Agreement.    This Agreement supersedes the Confidential Disclosure Agreement executed by Anacor and GSK dated May 14, 2007 (including any and all amendments thereto).

        9.6    Publications.    Except as provided in this Agreement, neither Party or its Affiliates shall publish or publicly disclose the results of any of the research and/or development activities conducted under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that after the expiration of all Options, the foregoing shall not apply to Anacor for results that relate to any Anacor Development Compounds, or to GSK for results that relate directly to any GSK Development Compounds. The Parties recognize that it may be useful or required to publish or publicly disclose the results of development work on Products, and GSK (and its Affiliates and Sublicensees) only shall be free to publish or publicly disclose such results, subject to the prior review by Anacor for patentability and protection of its Confidential Information. GSK shall provide to Anacor at GSK's earliest practical opportunity any proposed abstracts, manuscripts or summaries of presentations which cover the results of clinical development of any Product, for review and comment as to matters relating to its patents and Confidential Information. Anacor shall respond in writing promptly and in no event later than [***] after receipt of the proposed material, or within such reasonably shorter period as is required (and promptly communicated by GSK to Anacor) by the relevant publication deadline, with comments on the proposed material, which GSK will consider in good faith but have no obligation to accept, or a specific statement of concern, based upon either the need to seek patent protection. In the event of concern, GSK agrees not to submit such publication or to make such presentation that contains such information until Anacor is given a reasonable period of time (not to exceed [***]) to seek patent protection for any material in such publication or presentation which it believes is patentable or to resolve any other issues. This Section 9.6 shall cease to apply with respect to any Product upon the First Commercial Sale of such Product. Furthermore, with respect to any proposed abstracts, manuscripts or summaries of presentations by investigators or other Third Parties, such materials shall be subject to review under this Section 9.6 to the extent that GSK or Anacor (as the case may be) has the right to do so.

        9.7    Clinical Trial Register.    GSK shall have the right to publish the results or summaries of results of all clinical trials conducted by either Party with respect to a Product or Combination Product incorporating a GSK Development Compound or, to the extent required by law, Anacor Development Compound, on GSK's clinical trial register, provided that Anacor shall have the right to review all such summaries relating to an Anacor Development Compound prior to submission of such publication.

At each Calendar Quarter meeting of the JRC, Anacor shall provide a summary of all data generated by Anacor or received by Anacor from the TB Alliance with respect to each Anacor/GATB Compound.

    Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compound, and all Back-Up Compounds thereto that are also Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compounds, solely in the TB Field.

            (c)   As soon as reasonably practicable after GSK exercises a TB Candidate Selection Option for any Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compound and Back-Up Compounds thereto pursuant to Section 4(a), to the extent that GSK has not already exercised an Option with respect to such Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compound and Back-Up Compounds thereto, Anacor shall deliver to GSK, at no cost to GSK, all Information and material in its possession and Control relating to such Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compound and Back-Up Compounds thereto that are relevant to the TB Field. Anacor shall use commercially reasonable efforts with respect to those activities for which it is responsible to ensure orderly transition and uninterrupted development of such Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compound and Back-Up Compounds thereto in the TB Field. Anacor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with GSK to provide GSK, at no cost to GSK, with any other Information relating to such Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compound and Back-Up Compounds thereto that is relevant to the TB Field as may be developed or identified by Anacor during the Term, to the extent that GSK has a license under this Agreement to such Information.

            (d)   GSK and/or its Affiliates shall have the right to contribute to the TB Alliance, for development in the TB Field in accordance with the GSK/TB Alliance Agreement, any Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compounds or Back-Up Compounds thereto to which GSK acquires rights through exercise of the TB Candidate Selection Option or the PoC Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, GSK and its Affiliates shall not owe any payments to Anacor under the Agreement with respect to the development or commercialization of a Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compound or any Back-Up Compounds in the TB Field, whether or not such development and commercialization is done in collaboration with the TB Alliance. For the avoidance of doubt, GSK shall be obligated to pay all payments that come due under the Agreement as a result of the development or commercialization of such Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compound or any Back-Up Compounds thereto as a GSK Development Compound outside the TB Field.

            (e)   For the avoidance of doubt, GSK's exercise of the TB Candidate Selection Option for any Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compound prior to GSK's exercise of a PoC Option for such Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compound shall not amend or alter in any way each Party's rights and obligations under the Agreement with respect to such Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compound outside the TB Field during the period that is prior to GSK's exercise or the expiration of the PoC Option for such Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compound, including without limitation, those rights and obligations set forth in Section 2.4 and in Article 4 of the Agreement.

            (f)    To the extent that GSK exercises neither the TB Candidate Selection Option nor the PoC Option with respect to a Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compound and Anacor subsequently develops and commercializes such Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compound, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, Anacor shall not owe any payments to GSK under the Agreement with respect to the development or commercialization of such

    Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compound in the TB Field, whether or not such development and commercialization is done in collaboration with the TB Alliance. For the avoidance of doubt however, Anacor shall be obligated to pay all payments that come due under the Agreement as a result of the development or commercialization of such Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compound or any Back-Up Compounds thereto as an Anacor Development Compound outside the TB Field.

            (g)   Any Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compound with respect to which GSK exercises the TB Candidate Selection Option shall be included in the definition of GSK Development Compound solely for purposes of Article 11 of the Agreement and any Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compound that is developed and commercialized by Anacor in the TB Field as provided in Paragraph 4(f) of this Amendment shall be included in the definition of Anacor Development Compound solely for purposes of Article 11 of the Agreement.

            (h)   To the extent that GSK makes any publication, press release, or another public disclosure concerning a Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compound or GSK Development Compound that GSK is developing or commercializing in the TB Field, GSK shall ensure such publication, press release, or public disclosure acknowledges that such compound is licensed from Anacor.

        5.     All Existing TB-Selective Compounds and TB-Selective Anacor/GATB Compounds to which Anacor has granted a license to the TB Alliance pursuant to the Anacor/TB Alliance Agreement are hereby expressly excluded from the definition of Anacor Compounds under the Agreement, and GSK shall have no rights under the Agreement with respect to such Existing TB-Selective Compounds and TB-Selective Anacor/GATB Compounds. The rights of GSK and/or its Affiliates with respect to such Existing TB-Selective Compounds and TB-Selective Anacor/GATB Compounds shall be as set forth in the GSK/TB Alliance Agreement, but only to the extent that such rights are consistent with the rights granted by Anacor to TB Alliance under the Anacor/TB Alliance Agreement. For clarity, a compound shall be deemed an Existing TB-Selective Compound or TB-Selective Anacor/GATB Compound upon meeting the criteria set forth in Section 1(c) or 1(f), respectively (i.e., at the hit stage), and not upon meeting the TB Candidate Selection Criteria or any other candidate selection criteria. Anacor shall not owe any payments to GSK under the Agreement with respect to the development or commercialization of such Existing TB-Selective Compound or TB-Selective Anacor/GATB Compound in the TB Field.

        6.     This Amendment will immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect with respect to either Party upon the effective date of the expiration or earlier termination for any reason of the Anacor/TB Alliance Agreement; provided, however, that Section 4 (including all subsections thereof) shall survive any such termination, but only with respect to compounds that were identified as Multiple-Active Anacor/GATB Compounds prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Anacor/TB Alliance Agreement. This Section 6 and Section 7 shall also survive any such termination.
