8.3.5

Collaboration Products

The financial terms for any Product that is a Collaboration Product (including royalty rates and sales milestone payments) and the diligence obligations for any such Product (including Commercial Launch obligations and Minimum Revenue Requirements) must be mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties, taking into consideration the relative contributions made by each Party to the development of such Product, before such Product is included in this Agreement. Following FMI’s decision to Commercially Launch a Collaboration Product in the Territory, FMI shall provide written notice to Roche, and if the Parties cannot agree to terms and conditions for the inclusion of such Collaboration Product as a Product in this Agreement within […***…] (the “Initial Discussion Period”), then the Parties shall each select an independent Third Party expert who is neutral, disinterested and impartial, and has significant relevant experience in the development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products (the “Expert”). Each Expert will within […***…] select a […***…] Expert to form a panel of […***…] Experts (“Panel”). The date on which such Panel is in place will be the “Arbitration Commencement Date.” Each Party shall within […***…] following the Arbitration Commencement Date prepare and deliver to both the Panel and the other Party its proposed financial terms (including royalty rates and sales

milestone payments) and diligence obligations (including initial launch and minimum revenue requirements) (collectively, the “Arbitration Offer”) to resolve the disputed matter for such Product and a memorandum (the “Supporting Memorandum”) in support thereof; provided that such Arbitration Offer shall be on the same or substantially similar terms as the last offer made by such Party to the other Party during the Initial Discussion Period. The Panel will also be provided with a copy of this Agreement. Within […***…] after receipt of the other Party’s Supporting Memorandum, each Party may submit to the Panel (with a copy to the other Party) a rebuttal to the other Party’s Supporting Memorandum (a “Rebuttal”), which may include a revision, marked to show changes, of either Party’s proposed terms. Neither Party may have communications (either written or oral) with the Panel other than for the sole purpose of engaging the Panel or as expressly permitted in this Section 8.3.5. Within […***…] after the Panel’s receipt of each Party’s Rebuttal (or the expiration of the period for the Parties to submit a Rebuttal, if earlier), the Panel will select, between the proposals provided by the Parties, the proposal that the Panel believes most accurately reflects an equitable result for FMI and Roche (the “Selected Agreement”). The Panel shall not have the authority to modify a proposal initially submitted by a Party. The decision of the Panel shall be the sole, exclusive and binding remedy and the Selected Agreement shall become a binding and enforceable agreement between the Parties. The Panel will have reasonable discretion to request additional information, hold a hearing, and extend the time frame for reaching a decision regarding the dispute at issue. The Experts’ fees and expenses will be paid by the Party whose proposal is not selected by the Panel. Each Party will bear and pay its own expenses incurred in connection with any proceedings under this Section 8.3.5.

If the audit reveals an underpayment, Roche shall make up such underpayment with the next payment or, if no further payments are owed by Roche, Roche shall reimburse FMI for the amount of the underpayment within […***…]. The audited Party shall pay for the audit costs if the underpayment/over receipt of the audited Party exceeds […***…] of the aggregate amount of payments owed with regard to the statements subject of the audit. Section 9.2 shall apply to this Section 11.3.

11.4

However, neither Party shall be obliged to initiate any new activities not ongoing at the date of notice of termination.

After the effective date of termination, neither Party shall have an obligation to perform and/or complete any activities or to make any payments for performing or completing any activities after such effective date of termination under this Agreement, except as expressly stated herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) in case of termination by FMI under Section 17.2.2 or 17.2.3 or by Roche under Section 17.2.4, upon the request of FMI, Roche shall complete any clinical studies related to the Product(s) that are being conducted by Roche for the Product(s) and are ongoing as of the effective date of termination, and (b) in case of termination by Roche under Section 17.2.2 or 17.2.3, upon the request of Roche, FMI shall complete any clinical studies related to the Product(s) that are being conducted by FMI for the Product(s) and are ongoing as of the effective date of termination; provided, however, that

(i)	both FMI and Roche in their reasonable judgment have concluded that completing any such clinical studies does not present an unreasonable risk to patient safety;

(ii)	neither Party shall have an obligation to recruit or enroll any additional patients after the effective date of termination; and

(iii)

FMI agrees to reimburse Roche for all of its development costs that incurred by or on behalf of Roche after the effective date of termination in completing such clinical studies as per subsection (a) above and Roche agrees to reimburse FMI for all of its development costs that incurred by or on behalf of Roche after the effective date of termination in completing such clinical studies as per subsection (b) above.

Limitations on Grant-Backs; Transfer Expenses

For purposes of clarity, irrespective of anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

In connection with clinical trials, Roche may have collected human samples and related clinical information for additional limited research and development programs (“Samples”). Legal and contractual restrictions may apply to such Samples, in particular as Samples may qualify as personal identifiable information. FMI acknowledges and accepts that notwithstanding anything herein, Roche shall not be obliged to transfer any such Samples to FMI.

c)	Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting FMI any license under the intellectual property of Roche or its Affiliates in existence as of the Effective Date.

Except with respect to termination by FMI for Roche’s breach pursuant to Section 17.2.2, FMI shall promptly reimburse Roche for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including FTE charges based on Roche’s standard FTE rates) incurred by or on behalf of Roche for transfer of documents and materials as requested by FMI under this Article 17; however transfer activities corresponding to the return of material remains, data, reports,
