Common use of Replacement Targets Clause in Contracts

Replacement Targets. During the Discovery Program Term, Loxo may determine in its sole discretion that research activities with respect to a particular Target should be discontinued (for example, and without limitation, such Target has not yielded sufficient progress, or scientific literature suggests the Target is intractable or is not therapeutically relevant or for safety issues). Upon any such determination, Loxo shall provide written notice to Array of the Target or Targets that Loxo desires to remove from the Discovery Program and will include in such notification a suggested substitute for such discontinued Target. After receipt of such notice, Array will promptly inform Loxo whether, as of the date of such written notice, the addition of such suggested substitute target would not (i) violate any agreement that Array has with a Third Party; (ii) add a target that is the subject of Array’s own active and ongoing research (with existing commitment and expenditure of resources for such target), was the subject of previous significant research at Array, or is the subject of drugs in Array’s clinical development pipeline or marketed product portfolio; or (iii) add a target with respect to which Array is engaged in active, ongoing substantial negotiations (i.e., has agreed a term sheet containing material business terms) with a Third Party. If neither (i), (ii) or (iii) apply to such suggested substitute target, then the discontinued Target shall cease to be a Target, the suggested substitute target shall be deemed a Target for the purposes of this Agreement, and Exhibit B shall be deemed to be updated accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt, no more than three (3) Targets in addition to Trk shall be included in the Discovery Program. If a proposed target is not available for inclusion, then the fact that Loxo proposed such target or is otherwise interested in such target (or molecules directed to such target) shall be Loxo’s Confidential Information.
