For each Product, Lilly will have the opportunity to exercise the Global Option during the Global Option Exercise Period and the option exercise amount (the “Global Option Exercise Amount”) will vary depending on when Lilly exercises such Global Option, as follows:

[]**		[]**
[]**		[]**
[]**		[]**

For the purposes of the table above, “Completion” is the date upon which all data for the specified study that is reasonably necessary to inform Lilly’s analysis of the relevant option is made available to Lilly. Lilly may exercise the Global Option (via a written notice to Hutchison) at any time after such Product’s Colorectal Cancer proof of concept Study Completion and on or prior to [**] after such Product’s Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Phase III Study Completion (such time period, the “Global Option Exercise Period”). The Global Option for the Product will terminate upon the earlier of (a) the date upon which Lilly elects not to conduct Subsequent Development of such Product pursuant to Article 3.4(a)(iii) of the Collaboration Agreement or an election is otherwise made pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement to no longer pursue Development of such Product under this Agreement and (b) the end of such Product’s Global Option Exercise Period.

2.2 Global Option, Development and Commercialization.

From the time that Lilly notifies Hutchison that it intends to exercise the Global Option with respect to the Product during the Global Option Exercise Period, the Parties will negotiate in good faith, for a period of up to four (4) months (or a longer period as mutually agreed upon

by the Parties), an agreement and which will among other things expand the Territory to include the relevant countries (“Global Development and Commercialization License Agreement”). Any Global Development and Commercialization License Agreement shall include the following financial terms; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement , the Parties acknowledge that financial terms in clauses (c) and (d) are based on the assumption that Lilly exercises the Global Option on a worldwide basis, and, if Lilly does not exercise the Global Option on a worldwide basis, such financial terms below shall be subject to discussion and re-evaluation by the Parties:

(a) The relevant Global Option Exercise Amount for such Product’s Global Option will be paid by Lilly to Hutchison within [**] of execution of such Global Development and Commercialization License Agreement.

(b) A Regulatory Approval Milestone for the first Product approved in the following locations which shall be payable only once as follows:

Location		Milestone Amount

[**]		[**]

[**]		[**]

[**]		[**]

(c) An annual, cumulative, worldwide (excluding China’s and Hong Kong’s Net Sales) Net Sales milestone for Product which shall be payable only once the first time the milestone’s Net Sales amount is achieved as follows:

Net Sales		Milestone Amount

[**]		[**]

[**]		[**]

[**]		[**]

A milestone in clauses (b) or (c) above will be paid within [**] days of the occurrence of the described event.

(d) Tiered, earned royalties on the annual Net Sales of Product in all countries in the expanded Territory (excluding China and Hong Kong) in the amounts set forth below (all amounts are in U.S. dollars).

Annual Product Net Sales (for all Products in the aggregate in the Territory)		Royalty Rate
[**]		[**]
[**]		[**]
[]**		[]**

The above tiered royalties are calculated such that the higher tiered royalties are only paid after the annual Net Sales exceed the top threshold of the previous tier. All earned royalties will be calculated and paid pursuant to Article 7 of the Collaboration Agreement.

2.3 Other Global Option Considerations.

(a) The Global Development and Commercialization License Agreement shall include Lilly’s right to take over the Manufacturing responsibilities for the relevant Product(s) in the expanded Territory and/or original Territory under terms to be negotiated and mutually agreed upon by the Parties.

(b) For those countries in the expanded Territory that accept Regulatory Approval documentation from China, Hutchison will provide Lilly with such regulatory documentation and dossiers and provide reasonable support to Lilly in its interactions with Regulatory authorities within the expanded Territory countries.

2.4 Limited Global Development Option

At any time prior to the expiry of the Global Option Exercise Period for Product under Article 2.1, Lilly may exercise a global development option for such Product (“Development Option”) by paying Hutchison [**]. Upon exercise of a Development Option for the Product, Hutchison will, for the duration of the Global Option Exercise Period for such Product, grant Lilly a fully paid-up, non-exclusive limited license, without the right to sublicense, under Hutchison Patents and the Hutchison Know-How as of such time, without a right to Commercialize, to Develop such Product in the Field outside the Territory. Lilly may then, at its sole discretion, conduct pre-clinical and clinical Development studies in the Field outside the Territory for such Product. In the event that Lilly does not exercise the Global Option for the Product within such Product’s Global Option Exercise Period, Hutchison may, at its discretion, purchase the data produced by Lilly under the Development Option for an amount not to exceed Lilly’s incurred Development costs in developing the data.

2.5 Transfer of Safety and Regulatory Agreement.

Exercising the Global Option or the Development Option, provided in Articles 2.3 and 2.4 will trigger the transfer of safety responsibilities from Hutchison to Lilly. Prior to the transfer, representatives from each Party will meet to develop a safety and regulatory agreement for the exchange of these responsibilities, the global safety data base and related data and documents.
