(c) For each calendar quarter starting after the second (2nd) calendar quarter after the Effective Date, no later than [*] days prior to the beginning of each such calendar quarter, Array shall provide to Novartis, for the limited purpose of assisting Novartis with its budgetary processes, a non-binding, written good faith estimate, in reasonable detail (including a breakout of Out-of-Pocket Costs and FTE Costs), of the amount of Reimbursable Costs expected to be incurred by Array during such calendar quarter. The Parties acknowledge and agree that such estimate is provided by Array for information purposes only (and cannot be used by Novartis for any other purpose) and that any inaccuracy in such estimate shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

after receiving any invoice with respect to payments due and payable hereunder to appoint an independent accounting firm (the “Auditor”) reasonably acceptable to Array to inspect the relevant records of Array or its Affiliates to verify such reports, statements, records or books of accounts, as applicable. Before beginning its audit, the Auditor shall execute an undertaking reasonably acceptable to Array by which the Auditor shall keep confidential all information reviewed during such audit.

SCHEDULE I


1.	Regulatory Assistance and Support. Upon reasonable notice and request from Array to Novartis, Novartis will provide to Array, in a timely manner and [*], the following assistance, cooperation or advice:

•

With respect to the initial regulatory filings for Marketing Approval of Encorafenib (either alone or in combination) for the first indication in the [*] and, until [*] after receipt by Array, its Affiliates or licensees of the first such Marketing Approval, with respect to regulatory filings in any of such countries, Novartis (i) will make its employees available to answer questions with respect to documentation, referencing and generation of tables and statistics necessary for such filings and (ii) provide access to any information, Know-How, data or supporting documentation in Novartis’s possession necessary or useful for such filings (if any). Array will be primarily responsible for, and the applicant of, any such filings.


2.	Manufacturing Technology Transfer.

In connection with the transfer and assignment of the Manufacturing Technology pursuant to the Asset Transfer Agreement, Novartis will provide to Array, in a timely manner and [*], cooperation and support with respect to: (i) transferring the Manufacturing Technology for the Drug Substance and Product, as applicable, to the Tech Transfer CMOs (the “Product Tech Transfer”); and (ii) qualifying and gaining regulatory approval for the Tech Transfer CMOs as a manufacturing site (“Qualification Support Services,” and together with the Product Tech Transfer, the “Technical Transfer Services”). Novartis will reimburse Array for [*] associated with the Technical Transfer Services (including all costs associated with registration stability batch runs, data validation and qualification batch runs and successful pre-approval inspections) [*].

Novartis and Array, in consultation with the Tech Transfer CMOs, shall discuss and agree on a plan that sets out the timelines and respective obligations of each of the Parties in relation to the Technical Transfer Services to be provided hereunder (the “Technical Transfer Plan”), which shall be attached hereto as Exhibit C to this Schedule I. The Parties shall endeavor to agree on a Technical Transfer Plan within [*].


c)	Novartis’s obligations to perform the Technical Transfer Services will continue until (a) [] or (b) [] (the “Tech Transfer Period”).


d)	The Technical Transfer Services provided by Novartis shall be [*].


e)	To the extent any Manufacturing Technology is currently used, or is contemplated to be used, by Novartis for use other than in connection with Encorafenib, the Parties

will cooperate to ensure that Array and/or its designee has the use of Manufacturing Technology solely for Drug Substance and Product and Novartis has the use of such Manufacturing Technology solely for use other than in connection with Encorafenib, and Novartis will be entitled to retain copies of all related documentation (e.g., user manuals, etc.) solely for use other than in connection with Encorafenib, provided, however, that Novartis shall not use any Manufacturing Technology that is specifically related to Encorafenib in connection with (a) Encorafenib and products containing Encorafenib or (b) Competing Products. All Technical Transfer Services provided under this Agreement shall be limited solely for use in relation to Drug Substance, Product or Finished Product. If there is a conflict between Manufacture of Product for Array hereunder and the Manufacture of any other product, the conflict will be resolved in a fair and reasonable manner by Novartis. Without limiting the foregoing, Novartis shall dedicate to the Manufacture of Drug Substance, Product and Finished Product hereunder at least the same level of priority as Novartis dedicated to Product as of the date of the Asset Transfer Agreement and no less than the same level of priority as dedicated to Novartis’s proprietary (i.e., non-generic) compounds and products Manufactured at the Facility at which the Product is being Manufactured.

The supply agreements for Materials used in Drug Substance and other Product presentations and the final formulation of Product and the contracts and purchase orders for laboratories and consultants related thereto included in the Manufacturing Technology may also be used by Novartis for use other than in connection with Encorafenib. To the extent that any such agreements, contracts and purchase orders are not transferred from Novartis to Array as Third Party Agreements pursuant to the Asset Transfer Agreement, either because it is not permitted under the terms of such Third Party Agreement or it is impractical, Novartis will work with Array, [*], to qualify and put in place appropriate supply and consulting agreements with relevant vendors, laboratories and consultants.

During the Tech Transfer Period, Novartis shall make its relevant scientific and technical personnel reasonably available to Array at Novartis’s offices, at reasonable times during Novartis’s normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to answer any questions or provide instruction as reasonably requested by Array concerning the Manufacturing Technology and shall facilitate visits to the Facility by Array personnel during regular business hours at a time and frequency to be determined by Novartis. In addition, Novartis agrees that Array may have a limited number of personnel at the portion of the Facility used in connection with the manufacture of the Product during regular business hours during a manufacturing campaign for the Product and as set forth in the Quality Agreement (as defined in the Supply Agreement). Such personnel may either be technical or quality personnel. Array’s personnel shall comply with Novartis’s procedures concerning cGMP (as defined in the Supply Agreement), training, safety, hygiene, confidentiality and

I-2

controlled access to facilities and documents as set forth under the Quality Agreement.

Other Novartis Sponsored Trials. Novartis will conduct, at its sole expense, the Other Novartis Sponsored Trials, provided, however, that Array or its CRO will assume responsibility to conduct and Complete each such Other Novartis Sponsored Trial upon the applicable transition date set forth on Exhibit A, or, with respect to Other Novartis Sponsored Trials being conducted by Clinical Research Organizations, upon the assignment of the applicable agreement by Novartis to Array, and Novartis will reimburse Array the Out-of-Pocket Costs and fifty percent (50%) of FTE Costs associated with such conduct and Completion of the Other Novartis Sponsored Trials, in each case, within the parameters of the current study protocols for such trials and such other costs resulting from changes to such protocol in accordance with paragraph 4(e)(i) of this Schedule I after the applicable transition date.


c.	Intentionally left blank.

Investigator Sponsored Clinical Trials. Pursuant to the Asset Transfer Agreement, Novartis will transfer (by assigning applicable clinical trial agreements, as Third Party Agreements, to Array), and Array will oversee the conduct and Completion of, the Ongoing Investigator Sponsored Clinical Trials, and Novartis will evaluate, and make determinations to proceed with respect to, the Proposed Investigator Sponsored Clinical

I-3

Trials in accordance with Section 5.1(b) of the Asset Transfer Agreement. Novartis will reimburse Array the Out-of-Pocket costs and fifty percent (50%) of FTE Costs associated with the conduct and Completion of the Investigator Sponsored Clinical Trials, in each case, within the parameters of the current study protocols for such trials and such other costs resulting from changes to such protocol in accordance with paragraph 4(e)(i) of this Schedule I.


e.	General.

iv.

For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Asset Transfer Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (including this Agreement), Novartis will have the right to suspend any clinical trial involving a Novartis Compound immediately if (a) Novartis concludes in its reasonable judgment, which conclusion shall be subject to confirmation by a dispute resolution committee (“DRC”) in the event that Array in its reasonable judgment disagrees with the conclusion of Novartis, (b) a Regulatory Authority concludes, or (c) if applicable, the

data safety monitoring board recommends, that the Study Data show that the continuation of such trial would pose adverse risks to the health or safety of the trial subjects. If both Parties are unable to amend the trial protocol in a manner that reasonably addresses such safety concerns within [*] of the suspension date, then the Parties shall submit the matter for dispute resolution pursuant to Section 10.9 of the Asset Transfer Agreement and if the Parties are unable to resolve such matter in accordance therewith then either Party may terminate this Agreement with respect to such trial. For purposes of the foregoing, if a DRC is needed for a clinical trial, it shall be formed as a three-person committee that shall act by majority vote and be comprised of the Principal Investigator for such clinical trial, who shall chair such committee, and two additional clinical investigators, with each Party selecting one such clinical investigator.


5.	Intentionally left blank.

Novartis Pipeline Agents. Novartis will provide continued clinical supply for and permit continuation of the combination studies of Encorafenib that include a Novartis Pipeline Agent within the parameters of the current study protocols for the clinical trials referenced in Exhibit A. On or before each subsequent clinical trial of Encorafenib in combination with a particular Novartis Pipeline Agent (the “Combination Trial”), the Parties shall enter into a clinical trial agreement governing each such trial on commercially reasonable terms. For each Combination Trial that is a Phase 3 trial, Novartis will notify Array by [*] whether or not it intends to register and Commercialize the Novartis Pipeline Agent for the indication(s) specified in such Combination Trial; provided, that if Novartis notifies Array of its intent to register and Commercialize but thereafter makes a determination not to Commercialize such Novartis Pipeline Agent for such indication, then it will provide at least [*] prior notice to Array of cessation of Development activities for that Novartis Pipeline Agent. Subject to any license agreement obligations that Novartis may have with Third Parties for return to any such Third Party of Novartis Pipeline Agents that are licensed by Novartis from such Third Party, if Novartis determines that it (or any licensee of Novartis) will not Commercialize such Novartis Pipeline Agent (or, if after launch of any Novartis Pipeline Agent, Novartis determines to no longer Commercialize such Novartis Pipeline Agent) for any indication, then it will enter into a license agreement with Array on mutually agreed upon commercially reasonable terms, including with respect to financial terms taking into account a discount to the market value reflecting Novartis’s decision not to commercialize the product, with an exclusive, irrevocable, worldwide license, with the right to sublicense, to the rights to Develop and Commercialize such Novartis Pipeline Agents in the field of oncology in combination with Encorafenib. For the avoidance of doubt, Array shall not have any rights hereunder to pursue, and Novartis shall not have any obligations to permit, clinical trials of Encorafenib in combination with any Novartis compound other than the Novartis Pipeline Agents.


7.	Audits. Novartis shall permit its books and records pertaining to the clinical trials to be conducted by or on its behalf pursuant to this Agreement to be examined no more than [*]

per calendar year, upon reasonable notice during normal business hours, provided such examination is requested in writing at least ten (10) business days in advance; provided, further, that any Array representative signs a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Novartis (and its CRO, as applicable). Such examination is to be made at the expense of Array.


8.	Participation in Regulatory Communications.

With respect to any clinical trials conducted by Novartis: Prior to transition of any such clinical trial to Array (as applicable), (i) Novartis shall be primarily responsible for interfacing, corresponding and meeting with Regulatory Authorities with respect to the conduct of any clinical trial involving Encorafenib, and shall keep Array fully informed of all regulatory communications and developments relating to such clinical trial, provided, however, that (A) Array shall have the right, at its option, to participate in any preparation for meetings with Regulatory Authorities and/or to attend and participate in all such meetings and (B) Array shall have primary control over all such interfaces, correspondence and meetings to the extent related solely to Encorafenib; and (ii) Novartis shall provide Array with all draft filings with any Regulatory Authorities related to each clinical trial involving Encorafenib (other than non-substantial, routine correspondence) for review and comment at least [*] days in advance of the intended date of submission (or, to the extent necessary, such shorter period to meet such intended date of submission), and shall incorporate all reasonable comments of Array thereto. For the sake of clarity, after transition of any such clinical trial to Array, Array shall be primarily responsible and shall have primary control over all such interfaces, correspondence and meetings.

With respect to any clinical trials conducted by Array: Array shall be primarily responsible for interfacing, corresponding and meeting with Regulatory Authorities with respect to the conduct of such clinical trial, and shall keep Novartis fully informed of all regulatory communications and developments to the extent relating to a Novartis Pipeline Agent, provided, however, that (a) Novartis shall have the right, at its option, to participate in any preparation for meetings with Regulatory Authorities and/or to attend and participate in all such meetings to the extent related solely to any clinical trial involving a Novartis Pipeline Agent and (b) Novartis shall have primary control over all such interfaces, correspondence and meetings to the extent related solely to a Novartis Pipeline Agent. Array shall provide Novartis with all draft filings with any Regulatory Authorities related to each clinical trial involving a Novartis Pipeline Agent (other than non-substantial, routine correspondence) for review and comment at least [*] days in advance of the intended date of submission (or, to the extent necessary, such shorter period to meet such intended date of submission), and shall incorporate all reasonable comments of Novartis thereto.


c.	Each Party shall provide the other Party with copies of all correspondence with the applicable Regulatory Authorities relating to its compound that affects the conduct of a

clinical trial, and respond within a reasonable time frame to all reasonable inquiries by the other Party with respect thereto.
