2.1 Relationship to EVG License. The Parties agree that the Quad7340 is a “Product” under the EVG Agreement and therefore the rights and obligations of the Parties with respect to the development and commercialization of the Quad7340 in the JT Territory shall be as set forth in the EVG Agreement. The Parties further agree that with respect to the Quad7340, the last sentence of the definition of “Know-How” in Section 1.56 of the EVG Agreement shall not apply to the Quad7340.

2.2 Supply of Quad7340. JT shall obtain its supply of the Quad7340 for development and commercial purposes from Gilead and Gilead shall provide such supply, as shall be set forth in an amendment to the Supply Agreement to be entered into within one hundred twenty (120) days of this Amendment. JT agrees that the Quad7340 obtained under the Supply Agreement shall be sold only in the JT Territory. If Gilead ceases Development of Quad7340 before it has Regulatory Approval by the FDA, then Gilead may elect to cease supplying Quad7340 to JT by immediately notifying JT of its cessation.

The transfer price for the EVG as a Quad7340 Component and the COBI as a Quad7340 Component shall be [*] Quad7340 [*] Quad7340). The transfer price for the TVD7340 Component shall be calculated using the following formula:

2.4 Transfer Price Change if JT Manufactures Quad7340 from Gilead API. If JT manufactures the Quad7340 finished product from API supplied by Gilead, then the transfer ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ shall owe for such API shall be reduced as follows:
The [*] and
If JT manufactures some of the Quad7340 Component APIs in the Quad7340, then [*] for any Quad7340 Component API manufactured by JT for the units manufactured and sold by JT, shall be deducted from the Transfer Price owed by JT.
For purposes of this Section 2.4 and Section 2.5, Gilead’s FBCQ7340 and (if applicable) API FBC shall be determined as set forth in the Supply Agreement based on data used to compute the average per-unit FBC for the full calendar year preceding the transfer of manufacturing to JT. Gilead shall calculate such FBCQ7340 and FBC and provide the resulting calculations to JT; such calculations to be subject to JT’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
2.5 Royalty if JT Manufactures Quad7340. If JT manufactures the Quad7340 (including all its APIs), then JT shall pay Gilead a royalty on sales of the Quad7340 manufactured by JT and sold in the JT Territory calculated using the following formula:
Royalty = [*]
JT shall pay such royalty to Gilead for each calendar quarter within forty-five (45) days after the end of such calendar quarter. JT shall provide quarterly royalty reports as set forth in the first sentence of Section 8.6(a) of the VTE License (taking into consideration that JT will not be paying estimated transfer prices if Gilead does not manufacture the Quad7340 for JT) and shall provide the additional information set forth in Section 8.6(b), with respect to the Quad7340 manufactured by JT. The provisions of Sections 8.7 through 8.12 of the VTE License shall apply to such royalty payments, as appropriate. For purposes of this Section 2.5, the FBC of the Quad7340 shall be [*] Quad7340 [*] determined as set forth in the Supply Agreement based on data used to compute the [*] for the full calendar year preceding the transfer of manufacturing to JT. Gilead shall calculate such FBC and provide the resulting calculations to JT; such calculations to be subject to JT’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
EXAMPLE:
JT (or its contract manufacturer) manufactures GS-7340 and FTC APIs and manufactures the Quad7340 from these APIs and from COBI API and EVG API manufactured by Gilead. Gilead’s FBCQ7340 is $5/unit and its FBC to manufacture GS-7340 and FTC API is $20/unit. For the Quad7340 units JT manufactures and sells, it will owe [*]
2.6 Net Sales Calculation and Transfer Price Payments. JT shall calculate Net Sales of the Quad7340 using the methodologies and definitions in the VTE License, and not the methodologies and definitions therefor in the EVG Agreement. The provisions of Sections 8.6 through 8.12 of the VTE License shall apply to JT’s transfer price payments set forth in this Amendment.

2.9 Information Exchange / Regulatory Data. Gilead shall, upon reasonable request of JT, make available to JT as soon as practicable after such request, Gilead Know-How and Regulatory Information with respect to (i) the Quad7340, (ii) COBI as a Quad7340 Component, and (iii) COBI as a single agent or stand-alone product, which is Controlled by Gilead, and Gilead’s Affiliates or Sublicensees as a result of the performance of Gilead’s obligations under the EVG Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Regulatory Information about COBI as a single agent or stand-alone product shall include that about combination use and drug-drug interactions of such COBI single agent with other agents, provided that Gilead agrees that such information is required for Regulatory Approval of the Quad7340 for the Licensed Indication in the JT Territory (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
If the Regulatory Authority in the JT Territory request any material information, data (in final report form) or Know-How that is included in the Marketing Authorization Applications and INDs for the Quad7340 or COBI (including any combination products containing COBI) filed by Gilead or its Affiliates or licensees anywhere in the world for any indications (including those outside the Licensed Indication), and JT reasonably determines that the provision of such material information, data (in final report form) or Know-How is required for Regulatory Approval of the Quad7340 for the Licensed Indication in the JT Territory, then JT shall notify Gilead in writing of such determination. If Gilead agrees with JT’s determination (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), then Gilead shall provide JT with such additional material information, data (in final report form) and Know-How (subject to Gilead’s obligations under its agreements with Third Parties), together with all material subsequent correspondence and data submissions relating to the foregoing, as soon as practicable. If Gilead does not agree with JT’s determination, then Gilead shall have no obligation to provide JT with such additional material information, data (in final report form) or Know-How if Gilead has not unreasonably withheld the needed agreement as provided in the prior sentence.
2.10 Exception for Termination. In case (i) that the EVG Agreement expires pursuant to Section 14.1 of the EVG Agreement or that Gilead terminates the EVG Agreement pursuant to Section 14.2 thereof for any reasons other than significant safety reasons with respect to COBI or GS-7340 and (ii) that EVG is approved either in the United States of America or the EU at that time and is not withdrawn from the market, if JT notifies Gilead that it wishes to continue to Develop and/or Commercialize the Quad7340 in the JT Territory, the EVG Agreement shall be deemed to be still valid in the JT Territory with regard to the Quad7340 as a Product under the EVG Agreement until [*]. Upon the expiration of said term with respect to Development and/or Commercialization of the Quad7340 in the JT Territory, if requested by JT, the Parties shall discuss in good faith extension or renewal of such term.
ARTICLE 3
CLARIFICATION ON AMENDMENT 2
JT and Gilead acknowledge and agree that the definition of the Net Sales in Section 1.8 of the Amendment 2 to the EVG License as of May 17, 2010 shall only apply for the purpose of calculation of Transfer Price of Quad and Quad7340. For clarity, the definition of the Net Sales of the EVG Agreement shall remain unchanged as long as Amendment 2 or this Amendment is not concerned.
