Confidential and Proprietary Information of Tokai and QIAGEN

8.2

QIAGEN’s Commercialization Obligations. QIAGEN shall be responsible to Commercialize or have Commercialized by a subcontractor the QIAGEN IVD according to the terms and conditions herein. Within the timeframe set forth in the relevant Schedule, QIAGEN shall prepare and the Parties (acting through the JSC) shall agree upon a commercialization plan (“Commercialization Plan”) for launch, marketing and sale of the QIAGEN IVD in the Markets in accordance with its customary commercial practices. For clarity, any activities that are: (a) outside the scope of QIAGEN’s customary commercial practices; or (b) that are tailored to, or necessarily connected to the same activities for, the Tokai Product, the Parties shall mutually agree on the plan and funding for such activities in the Commercialization Plan. Each Commercialization Plan shall, among other things, [**]. Without limiting the foregoing, QIAGEN shall use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to: (a) ensure the availability of the QIAGEN IVD for purchase in the Markets for use in connection with the initiation and ongoing treatment of patients with the Tokai Product and (b) collaborate with Tokai to seek any necessary reimbursement approvals for the QIAGEN IVD from Governmental Authorities and other third party payors in each of the Major Markets. In addition, while QIAGEN shall be entitled to establish the price to be charged for the QIAGEN IVD, it shall price the QIAGEN IVD in a manner consistent with market norms for the pricing of companion diagnostic products.

8.3

Regulatory Approvals. QIAGEN shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining, [**], Regulatory Approvals for the QIAGEN IVD in any Major Markets identified by Tokai in a Project Schedule, as well as any other Markets that are mutually agreed by the Parties in a Project Schedule. Tokai shall be responsible for obtaining Regulatory Approvals for the Tokai Product. Without limiting the foregoing, QIAGEN shall use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to: [**], (e) at Tokai’s request, permit Tokai to participate in scheduled meetings with Governmental Authorities in each Major Market regarding development of the Tokai Product for use with the QIAGEN IVD, (f) obtain Regulatory Approval of the QIAGEN IVD in each Major Market and (g) support any efforts of Tokai to obtain Regulatory Approval for the Tokai Product for use with the QIAGEN IVD in each Major Market.

8.4

Manufacture and Supply of IVDs. QIAGEN shall be solely responsible for, and shall use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to, manufacture QIAGEN IVDs. QIAGEN shall manufacture the QIAGEN IVDs in compliance with cGMP requirements. Until commercial launch of a QIAGEN IVD, QIAGEN shall ensure that adequate supplies of QIAGEN IVDs (or prototypes), are made available to Tokai, any Contract Laboratories and any Clinical Trial sites according to the terms set forth in the Schedule. Subject to receiving sufficient notice of required quantities from Tokai, QIAGEN shall ensure that it maintains sufficient inventories of each QIAGEN IVD as is necessary for the complete conduct of the Clinical Trials of the applicable Tokai Product and Tokai shall pay costs of all remaining quantities which cannot be used for commercialization by QIAGEN. QIAGEN shall be responsible for the transfer of the QIAGEN IVD or the prototypes thereof to the Contract Laboratories involved in the Clinical Trials. Within a commercially reasonable time prior to launch of a Tokai Product, with reasonable advance written notice by Tokai of such launch, QIAGEN will build up and maintain at its own cost an inventory of QIAGEN IVDs which shall be sufficient to satisfy the Commercialization requirement.

Confidential and Proprietary Information of Tokai and QIAGEN

8.5	Commercialization Term and Viability of the QIAGEN IVD.

(a) Once Tokai commercially launches the Tokai Product in a Market that is a Major Market, QIAGEN shall make the QIAGEN IVD commercially available in that Major Market and use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to Commercialize the QIAGEN IVD in that Major Market. QIAGEN shall also Commercialize the QIAGEN IVD in any Market other than Major Markets that were agreed in a Project Schedule and for which Tokai funded the applicable Regulatory Approvals.

(b) QIAGEN shall be responsible for Commercializing the QIAGEN IVD in each Market for as long as there are Valid Claims in that particular Market (the “Commercialization Term”). However, QIAGEN may be sooner released from this obligation on a Market by Market basis as follows. In the event QIAGEN reasonably determines that it is not commercially reasonable to Commercialize a QIAGEN IVD in a Market other than a Major Market (it being understood that QIAGEN shall at all times keep the QIAGEN IVD commercially available in a Major Market if the labelling for the Tokai Product in such Major Market requires that an IVD be administered to a potential patient prior to a physician prescribing the applicable Tokai Product), QIAGEN shall provide Tokai with twelve (12) months’ written notice, which notice shall include a detailed summary of the basis therefor. During such twelve (12) month period, QIAGEN shall use commercially reasonable efforts to procure alternative channels of distribution and make available or procure the making available of the QIAGEN IVD in such quantities and upon commercially reasonable terms in each case as necessary to reasonably enable Tokai to market the Tokai Product in conjunction with the QIAGEN IVD. [**]. Such supply obligation shall expire upon expiration of the Commercialization Term.
