As the term of the Agreement is through the year of 2020, there may be a material change in circumstance which would impose undue hardship upon a Party performing its obligations hereunder in such quite long time. In such case, the JSC and the meeting between the Chief Executive Officer of SPI and the Chief Operating Officer of Takeda shall be an instrumentality for the Parties to confer in good faith as to how to cope with such difficulty. Thus, the JSC shall also meet as necessary to discuss and resolve any significant changes, including but are not limited to, changes in economic conditions, changes in market conditions, or any other changes that could adversely impact the Development and/or Commercialization of the Product as well as collaboration between the Parties. (d) Notwithstanding the creation of the JSC, JDC, JMC and JCC, each Party shall retain the rights, powers and discretion granted to it hereunder, and such committees shall not be delegated or vested with any such rights, powers or discretion unless expressly so agreed in writing. Such committees shall not have the power to amend or modify this Agreement, which may be amended or modified only as provided in Section 16.6. 3.2 New Indications. If SPI develops any New Indication(s) for the Products in the Initial Territory, Takeda shall be given the right of first refusal to obtain a license to develop and commercialize the Products for such New Indication(s) in the Initial Territory. SPI shall provide Takeda with notice of any such New Indication(s) once SPI enters into a proof of concept studies or Phase II studies for a New Indication(s) together with all such material information with regard to such New Indication(s) as enables Takeda to evaluate the New Indication(s) and its potential marketability, and if Takeda desires to obtain a license to the New Indication(s) stated in such notice for the Initial Territory pursuant to a separate written license agreement, the Parties shall then negotiate in good faith for a period of [**] after Takeda’s receipt of such notice. If basic terms and conditions of such license agreement have not been agreed upon by the Parties within the foregoing period, SPI shall be entitled to develop and commercialize the Product for such New Indication(s), and Takeda shall have no further rights with respect to such New Indication(s). 3.3 Additional Territories. SPI shall represent itself and its Affiliates in discussions regarding the granting to Takeda of a license to develop and commercialize the Products in the Additional Territory for which such Affiliate has appropriate right and license. In particular, SPI shall be responsible for all countries in North, Central and South America (excluding the US and Canada, which countries are the subject of the license granted under this Agreement to Takeda) (the “SPI Territory”), SPE shall be responsible for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (the “SPE Territory”), and SPL shall be responsible for all other countries in the world, including Japan (the “SPL Territory”). With respect to the SPE Territory, Takeda shall pay SPI, for the benefit of SPE, an option fee (the “SPE Option Fee”) of Three Million United States Dollars (US$3,000,000) within ten (10) Business Days of the Effective Date in order to obtain an exclusive option to negotiate and secure rights in the Products for the Initial Indications and, if applicable, Additional Indications and/or New Formulations in the SPE Territory, pursuant to a separate written license agreement, provided, however, that if no such agreement is executed, the aforementioned option for the SPE Territory

With respect to the SPL Territory, Takeda shall pay SPI, for the benefit of SPL, an option fee (the “SPL Option Fee”) of Two Million United States Dollars (US$2,000,000) within ten (10) Business Days of the Effective Date in order to obtain a twelve (12) month exclusive option to negotiate and secure rights in the Products for the Initial Indications and, if applicable, Additional Indications and/or New Formulations in the SPL Territory, pursuant to a separate written license agreement; provided, however, that if no such agreement is executed, the aforementioned option for the SPL Territory shall automatically expire after twelve (12) months, in which case, SPI shall refund to Takeda One Million United States Dollars (US$1,000,000) of the SPL Option Fee paid by Takeda. The Parties agree that, during the option periods mentioned above, they will in good faith explore the best way to commercialize the Product in each of SPE Territory and SPL Territory. With respect to the SPI Territory, Takeda shall not be required to pay SPI a fee in order to obtain an exclusive option to negotiate and secure rights in the Products for the Initial Indications and, if applicable, Additional Indications and/or New Formulations in the SPI Territory, pursuant to a separate written agreement, provided, however, that if no such agreement is executed, the aforementioned option for the SPI Territory shall automatically expire upon the receipt of NDA approval by SPI for the Constipation indication for the Initial Territory. The SPE Option Fee and the SPL Option Fee shall be creditable towards any payments due under any license agreement entered into between Takeda and SPI or the applicable SPI Affiliate. 3.4 Coordination with SPI Affiliates. SPI shall facilitate the planning and coordination of the Development and Commercialization of the Products hereunder with its Affiliates in the Additional Territories, in order to avoid conflicts regarding the Development and Commercialization strategies for the Products for the Initial Indications and, if applicable, Additional Indications and/or New Formulations in the Initial Territory and Additional Territories. Article 4 DEVELOPMENT 4.1 Joint Development Committee.

If the JDC cannot resolve an issue within its purview, the JSC shall attempt to resolve the conflict; provided, however that if a dispute arises with respect to the Additional Indications or New Formulations of the Products, the JCC shall be entitled to resolve such dispute. 4.2 Parties’ Responsibilities. (a) In line with their respective role as provided for in this Agreement, SPI and Takeda each agree to collaborate diligently in the Development of the Product and to use their Best Efforts to Develop and bring the Product to market for the Initial Indications and, if applicable, Additional Indications and/or New Formulations provided for in the Development Plan, in the Initial Territory as soon as practicable. Each party further agrees to execute and substantially perform the obligations assumed by it under the Development Plan within the budgets set forth therein and to cooperate with the other party in carrying out the Development Plan. (b) As part of such Development Plan, the Parties agree that: (i) Development for NDA submission for Constipation and C-IBS. SPI shall conduct all Development work necessary for an NDA submission in the Initial Territory for Constipation and C-IBS in the Initial Formulation. Takeda shall fund all Development (which is conducted after the Effective Date) of the Product for Constipation and C-IBS for the Initial Territory up to maximum aggregate amount of Thirty Million United States Dollars (US$30,000,000) in accordance with the then current Development Plan approved by the JDC. If such funding exceeds Thirty Million United States Dollars (US$30,000,000), then (a) SPI shall fund the next Twenty Million United States Dollars (US$20,000,000) and (b) Takeda and SPI shall equally share any required funding in excess of Fifty Million United States Dollars (US$50,000,000). In accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2 (b)(i), SPI shall submit an invoice to Takeda [**] prior to the first day of each calendar quarter for the estimated costs to be incurred by SPI during such quarter, and Takeda shall pay to SPI the Development cost on a quarterly basis against an invoice submitted to it by SPI, within [**] after its receipt of such an invoice. With regard to the period from the Effective Date until December 31, 2004, SPI shall submit an invoice to Takeda within [**] after the completion of the first JDC meeting for the estimated costs to be incurred by SPI during such period, and Takeda shall pay SPI the Development cost within [**] after its receipt of such an invoice. Within [**] after December 31 and June 30 (for the avoidance of doubt, the period from the Effective Date until December 31, 2004 shall be deemed to be the first quarter and the first half year for purposes of
-14-
this section), the Parties shall review the amounts paid by Takeda to SPI and make any adjustments that may be required. For example, (a) if the amount paid by Takeda under this Section 4.2(b)(i) for a calendar half year was Ten Million United States Dollars (US$10,000,000) and the amount actually spent by SPI for the same period was Eleven Million United States Dollars (US$11,000,000), Takeda would be required to pay SPI an additional One Million United States Dollars (US$1,000,000) within [**] after the end of such half year, and (b) if the amount paid by Takeda under this Section 4.2(b)(i) for a calendar half year was Ten Million United States Dollars (US$10,000,000) and the amount actually spent by SPI for the same period was Nine Million United States Dollars (US$9,000,000), SPI would be required to pay Takeda One Million United States Dollars (US$1,000,000) within [**] after the end of such half year; provided that neither Party shall be required to pay any interest to the other Party with respect to payments made under this Section. SPI shall submit to Takeda documentary evidence demonstrating the correctness of any invoiced amount within [**] after the end of each quarter; provided, however that in the event such documentary evidence is not available within [**], SPI shall forward it to Takeda as soon as reasonably practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the Development cost to be funded by Takeda under this Section 4.2 (b)(i) shall include both external and internal costs of SPI; provided, that SPI’s internal costs shall be included only if such costs are lower than the costs that would have been paid to a reputable CRO for such work. The JDC shall review the invoice every quarter and approve and adjust the payment in accordance with the Development Plan budget agreed to by the JDC. SPI shall use its Best Efforts to make an NDA filing for Constipation in the first (1st) quarter of the calendar year [**], and shall use its Best Efforts to make an NDA filing for C-IBS in the first (1st) quarter of the calendar year [**]; provided that SPI’s failure to make such filings in the applicable time frame shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement; and provided, further that the Parties acknowledge that SPI’s ability to make such filings are dependent upon SPI having adequate funding and the performance of its outside vendors, each despite of the fact that SPI has exerted its Best Efforts. (ii) Regulatory Required Studies or RRS for Constipation and C-IBS. SPI shall conduct all additional Studies required by the Regulatory Authority for Constipation and C-IBS in the Initial Territory. Takeda and SPI shall equally share the external costs of the RRS in the Initial Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall SPI be required to incur costs of more than Twenty Million United States Dollars (US$20,000,000) pursuant to this Section 4.2(b)(ii) and, with respect to any costs to be incurred by SPI in excess of [**] United States Dollars (US$[**]), Takeda shall, at the request of SPI, pay such costs and deduct them from the next Development Milestone due to SPI, or in the event that there is no Development Milestone, against any royalties due to SPI. However, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than SPI’s breach of this Agreement or any agreement entered into in connection herewith, before the nearest Development Milestone becomes due, Takeda will not be entitled to request reimbursement from SPI for any amount in excess of [**] United States Dollars (US$[**]) to be incurred by SPI. (iii) Labeling Changes for Constipation and C-IBS. SPI shall conduct all studies required to modify, change or expand the labeling for the Products (“Labeling Changes”) for Constipation and C-IBS in the Initial Territory approved by JCC and in accordance with the then current Development Plan approved by the JDC. Takeda shall fund seventy percent (70%) of such studies and SPI shall fund the remaining thirty percent (30%). SPI shall submit an invoice
-15-
to Takeda [**] prior to the first day of each calendar quarter for the estimated costs to be incurred by SPI during such quarter, and Takeda shall pay to SPI the Development cost on a quarterly basis against an invoice submitted to it by SPI, within [**] after its receipt of such an invoice. Within [**] after December 31 and June 30 (for the avoidance of doubt, the period from the Effective Date until December 31, 2004 shall be deemed to be the first quarter and the first half year for purposes of this section), the Parties shall review the amounts paid by Takeda to SPI and make any adjustments that may be required in the same way as provided for in Section 4.2 (b)(i). For the avoidance of doubt, the costs to be shared by Takeda and SPI under this Section 4.2 (b)(iii) shall include both external and internal costs of SPI; provided, that SPI’s internal costs shall be included only if such costs are lower than the costs that would have been paid to a reputable CRO for such work. The JDC shall review the invoice every quarter and approve and adjust the payment in accordance with the Development Plan budget agreed to by the JDC. (iv) Additional Indication(s)/New Formulation(s): SPI shall conduct the Development of Additional Indication(s) and/or New Formulation(s) in the Initial Territory approved by the JCC. With regard to the Development of Additional Indications for the Initial Territory, Takeda shall fund all Development, including RRS, up to maximum aggregate amount of Fifty Million United States Dollars (US$50,000,000) per each Additional Indication in accordance with the then current Development Plan approved by the JDC, and, if such funding exceeds Fifty Million United States Dollars (US$50,000,000) then Takeda and SPI shall equally share any required funding in excess of Fifty Million United States Dollars (US$50,000,000). With regard to the Development of New Formulation(s) for the Initial Territory, Takeda shall fund all Development, including RRS, up to maximum aggregate amount of Twenty Million United States Dollars (US$20,000,000) per each New Formulation in accordance with the then current Development Plan approved by the JDC, and, if such funding exceeds Twenty Million United States Dollars (US$20,000,000), then Takeda and SPI shall equally share any required funding in excess of Twenty Million United States Dollars (US$20,000,000) . (v) Post Marketing Surveillance. Takeda shall conduct and fund all Post Marketing Surveillance on the Products for the Initial Indications and, if applicable, Additional Indications and/or New Formulations in the Initial Territory. Prior to filing the results of any Post-Market Surveillance with a Regulatory Authority, Takeda shall first submit such results and filing to SPI for its review and approval, provided, however, that if, in order to meet regulatory reporting time frame, it is difficult for Takeda to submit the results to SPI prior to filing the same to a Regulatory Authority, Takeda shall be allowed to submit the same to a Regulatory Authority first and shall then submit the same to SPI without undue delay. (vi) Phase IV Studies (for marketing purposes): Takeda shall, if decided and approved by the JCC, conduct and fund Phase IV studies for the Initial Indications and, if applicable, Additional Indications and/or New Formulations in the Initial Territory. (vii) Product samples for Development: The Development cost shall include those costs incurred to acquire Product samples to be used for the Development. 4.3 Coordination of Testing and Trials. The parties shall keep each other fully and currently informed as to all tests and trials (including the RRS) that they intend to carry out for purposes of compliance with Applicable Regulations and shall cooperate to determine the design
-16-
of such tests and trials in order to ensure to the maximum possible extent that duplication of effort shall be avoided, and, that the results shall be suitable for filing with Regulatory Authorities in the Initial Territory. The Parties shall share with each other all results of clinical trials and other information regarding the Products for purposes of carrying out the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties shall use their Best Efforts to ensure that all clinical trials of the Products that they shall undertake after the Effective Date shall be designed and conducted in accordance with good clinical practices as established for the Initial Territory. Article 5 COMMERCIALIZATION 5.1 Joint Commercialization Committee. (a) Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, the parties shall form a Joint Commercialization Committee (“JCC”) to focus on and manage the Commercialization of the Products for the Initial Indications and, if applicable, Additional Indications and/or New Formulations agreed upon in the Commercialization Plan in the Initial Territory. The JCC shall be composed of two (2) management representatives appointed by each Party (Such representatives may be management representatives of each Party’s Affiliates.), with the chairman from Takeda. All decisions of the JCC shall be unanimous. (b) The JCC shall meet, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis, at a location(s) agreed upon by the JCC or by telephone or video conference, provided that any decision made during a meeting is evidenced in a writing signed by one of the members of the JCC from each of the Parties. Each Party shall bear the travel and living expenses of its own personnel to attend any such meetings. The JCC will keep minutes reflecting actions taken at meetings. (c) The JCC responsibilities will include (i) developing, managing and overseeing the Commercialization Plan and strategy for the Products for the Initial Indications and, if applicable, Additional Indications and/or New Formulations, agreed upon in the Commercialization Plan, in the Initial Territory, (ii) approving Phase IV Studies for marketing purposes for the Initial Indications and, if applicable, Additional Indications and/or New Formulations in the Initial Territory, (iii) managing and overseeing Commercialization budgets for the Initial Indications and, if applicable, Additional Indications and/or New Formulations in the Initial Territory, (iv) checking the status of planned activities, (v) determining go/no-go of Labeling Change(s), Additional Indication(s) and New Formulation(s) of the Products in the Initial Territory and (vi) discussing and coordinating the arrangement of and facilitating the collaboration and coordination between the parties during the co-promotion period.

(a) Takeda (or, if applicable, Takeda Affiliates or its sub-licensee(s)) shall Commercialize the Product for the Initial Indications and, if applicable, Additional Indications and/or New Formulations in the Initial Territory at its own expense in accordance with the terms
-17-
and conditions contained herein and in accordance with the Commercialization Plan approved by the JCC, subject to Section 5.2(b). Such costs as shall be borne by Takeda (or, if applicable, Takeda Affiliates or its sub-licensee(s)) for the Commercialization shall include, but not be limited to: the costs of developing all marketing materials, preparing all Product samples, scientific meetings, Phase IV Studies for marketing purpose, training all sales representatives of Takeda (or, if applicable, Takeda Affiliates or its sub-licensee(s)), salaries and any other expenses of employees of Takeda (or, if applicable, Takeda Affiliates or its sub-licensee(s)) relating to the Commercialization of the Products for the Initial Indications and, if applicable, Additional Indications and/or New Formulations in the Initial Territory. (b) Takeda’s obligation to fund Commercialization as described in Section 5.2(a) shall be at a minimum the Agreed Annual Promotion Costs (“W”) in the Initial Territory, where “W” shall be fixed as follows: (i) “W” shall be Ten Million United States Dollars (US$10,000,000) per twelve (12) month period (Eight Hundred Thirty Three Thousand United States Dollars (US$833,000) per month) during the period in which the NDA approval is only for the Constipation indication of the Initial Indications. However, if the FDA approves “C-IBS associated with Constipation” to be included and used in the Constipation labeling of the Product, “W” shall be increased to [**] United States Dollars (US$[**]) per twelve (12) month period ([**] United States Dollars (US$[**]) per month). (ii) “W” shall be Eighty Million United States Dollars (US$80,000,000) per twelve (12) month period (Six Million Six Hundred Sixty Six Thousand United States Dollars (US$6,666,000) per month) for thirty six (36) months after the receipt of an NDA approval for the C-IBS indication (and as the result, NDA approvals for both Constipation and C-IBS exist). For the avoidance of doubt, the above amount of Eighty Million United States Dollars (US$80,000,000) per twelve (12) month period (Six Million Six Hundred Sixty Six Thousand United States Dollars (US$6,666,000) per month) shall apply only if Full-Scale DTC (“Direct-to-Consumers”) is conducted in such twelve (12) month period. Whether and how to conduct Full-Scale DTC shall be discussed and decided by the JCC, taking into consideration the result of study by a reputable outside agent as to whether a Full-Scale DTC would increase sales of the Products. If the JCC decides not to conduct Full-Scale DTC in a twelve (12) month period, then “W” for such period shall be, notwithstanding the above, [**] United States Dollars (US$[**]) per twelve (12) month period ([**] United States Dollars (US$[**]) per month). For the period after the expiration of the said thirty six (36) months, “W” shall be discussed and decided by the JCC.
-18-
(iii) The obligations for funding under item (i) above shall commence on the first day of the calendar month immediately after the NDA approval for Constipation is obtained. The change in funding from item (i) to item (ii) above shall occur as of the first day of the calendar month immediately after the NDA approval for C-IBS is obtained (and as the result NDA approvals exist for both Constipation and C-IBS indications). 5.3 Promotion and Marketing. (a) Takeda shall use its Best Efforts to promote, market and sell the Product for the Initial Indications and, if applicable, Additional Indications and/or New Formulations in the Initial Territory in accordance with the Commercialization Plan.

Prior to terminating this Agreement in accordance with this Section 5.3(c), SPI shall provide Takeda for a period of [**] with the opportunity to propose amendments to this Agreement. If such proposed amendments are acceptable to SPI, the Parties shall renegotiate in good faith this Agreement. In the event that such proposed amendments are not acceptable to SPI, this Agreement may be terminated by SPI. If this Agreement is terminated by SPI in accordance with this Section 5.3(c), the license granted by SPI to Takeda under this Agreement shall terminate and SPI shall reacquire all rights granted to Takeda under the Article 2, provided, however, that Takeda shall have an option within such [**] to enter into a co-promotion agreement whereby Takeda shall be granted a license to co-promote the Product with SPI in the Initial Territory for a period of [**], subject to an agreement between the Parties of the terms and conditions for such co-promotion agreement, including without limitation co-promotion fee to be paid to Takeda and a number of Product Detail to be conducted. In the event that SPI and Takeda cannot agree on the terms and conditions for such co-promotion agreement within such six (6) month period, this Agreement shall be terminated. (d) SPI’s termination right under Section 5.3(b) and Section 5.3(c) is the exclusive remedy of SPI for Takeda’s (or if applicable, Takeda Affiliates’ or its sub-licensee(s)’) not attaining the Net Sales Revenue set forth in Section 5.3(b) and Section 5.3(c).
-19-
(e) If the sales of the Product has stagnated anytime after [**] from the Commercial Launch of the Product for the C-IBS indication in the Initial Territory, the JSC shall meet and discuss possible actions and solutions.

| (1) | “X” shall be [**] during the [**] period commencing after receipt of NDA approval for Constipation, | ||
| (2) | “X” shall be [**] during the [**] period after receipt of NDA approval for C-IBS, and | ||
| (3) | for the [**] and thereafter after receipt of NDA approval for C-IBS, “X” shall be determined by the JCC [**] before the start of each such [**] period, provided, however, that “X” between the [**], and between the [**], respectively, shall not be less than [**] percent ([**]%) of “X” for the immediately preceding [**] period. |
| x) | if the NDA approval for C-IBS has not been obtained, Takeda (or, if applicable, Takeda Affiliates or its sub-licensee(s)) shall still be required to perform the Agreed Annual Minimum PDEs of [**] per each [**] period ([**] per month); and | ||
| y) | if the NDA approval for C-IBS has been obtained, then beginning on the first day of the month immediately succeeding the month in which the NDA approval for C-IBS is obtained, “X” shall be increased from [**] per month to [**] per month. |
-20-
(h) Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if an Negative Event shall occur, the JCC will meet and discuss in good faith whether any adjustments should be made to the performance requirements set forth in Sections 5.2(b), 5.3(b), 5.3(c) and 5.3(f) and if it is decided to make such adjustment, the extent of such adjustment. 5.4 Co-promotion By SPI. (a) SPI retains the right and license to co-promote the Products for the Initial Indications and, if applicable, Additional Indications and/or New Formulations in the Initial Territory, subject to SPI performing a minimum of [**] PDEs per [**] period. The detailed plans and arrangement of co-promotion by SPI shall be discussed and agreed at the JCC. SPI shall use its own sales force to co-promote the Products in the Initial Territory. If SPI chooses to co-promote the Products with Takeda (including Takeda Affiliates and sub-licensee(s)) in accordance with this Section 5.4, Takeda shall pay SPI [**] United States Dollars (US$[**]) per each PDE. In the event that SPI does not perform a minimum of [**] PDEs in a given [**] period in which it co-promotes the Products with Takeda (including Takeda Affiliates and sub-licensee(s)), it shall be permitted to make up the shortfall in the next [**] period it co-promotes the Products with Takeda (including Takeda Affiliates and sub-licensee(s)). If SPI does not perform a minimum of [**]) PDEs in the second [**] period plus any shortfall from the first [**] period, the JCC shall meet and discuss the possibility of SPI continuing to co-promote the Products and any adjustments in the minimum number of PDEs to be performed by SPI or the price to be paid to SPI per each PDE. Any PDEs agreed by the JCC to be conducted by SPI in a given [**] period shall be deducted against the Agreed Annual Minimum PDEs to be conducted by Takeda (including Takeda Affiliates and sub-licensee(s)) in accordance with Section 5.3(f), provided, however, that such deduction shall not occur in the case which SPI promotes or co-promotes the Product as a result of Section 5.3(b) or 5.3(c). (b) Subject to Section 5.3 (f), [**] before the start of each [**] period, the JCC shall determine the annual minimum number of PDEs that shall be made in a period by Takeda (or, if applicable, Takeda Affiliates or its sub-licensee(s)) and/or SPI. In the event that the number of PDEs that either Party is required to make changes, then the Parties shall agree on an appropriate adjustment to the compensation structure agreed upon by the Parties. (c) All sales representatives co-promoting the Products as permitted hereunder shall be required to use only the promotional materials approved by the JCC. As required in order for SPI’s co-promotion of the Products, Takeda shall at its cost provide samples and promotional materials to SPI’s sales representatives in a manner and quantity consistent with its provision of samples and promotional materials to its own corresponding sales force. Takeda will train SPI’s sales representatives together with its own sales representatives. For avoidance of doubt, personnel costs such as salary and travel and accommodation costs of SPI’s sales representatives shall be, even during the training by Takeda, borne by SPI. SPI shall at its cost be responsible for sample accountability with regard to the samples used or delivered by SPI’s sales representatives. Takeda shall be responsible for the fulfillment of all Product orders for the Initial Indications and, if applicable, Additional Indications and/or New Formulations in the Initial Territory. If SPI receives any orders for the Products for the Initial Indications and, if applicable, Additional Indications and/or New Formulations in the Initial Territory, SPI shall refer such order to Takeda for fulfillment.
