In determining whether to utilize the services of any Third Party in conducting activities under an Annual Research Plan or Annual Development Plan, the Parties shall consider, inter alia, what would be the most efficient and cost effective means for accomplishing the proposed activity, any relevant intellectual property issues that may impede a Third Party’s ability to perform the proposed activity or that may warrant limiting the performance of the proposed activity to one of the Parties, and other relevant factors. The responsibility for performing clinical studies of each R&D Candidate will be assigned to AHPC, ELAN and/or Third Party contractors selected by the JSC in accordance with this Section.
     4.2.4. Periodic Inspections.

All such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

During the         ***          period following the         ***         , AHPC shall make up to         ***          offers (each, an “Exchange Product Offering”) to Elan for Elan to copromote, along with AHPC, an Exchange Product of AHPC’s sole choosing to a specialty (niche) market segment (i.e., to a particular class of target physicians other than general practitioners) in the United States. Each such Exchange Product Offering shall be presented to Elan by written notice, which notice shall specify the Exchange Product that is the subject of the Exchange Product Offering, the market segment within the United States that AHPC proposes Elan would market such Exchange Product to, if such Exchange Product has previously been sold in the United States by AHPC, United States sales data for such Exchange Product for the most recent calendar year, if such Exchange Product is currently marketed, and AHPC’s proposed financial terms for Elan’s copromotion of such Exchange Product. Within thirty (30) days of receiving such notice, Elan shall notify AHPC in writing as to whether or not it desires to negotiate a copromotion agreement for such Exchange Product. If Elan either fails to respond to such notice within such thirty (30) day period or notifies AHPC that it does not desire to negotiate a copromotion agreement for such Exchange Product Offering, Elan shall be deemed to have rejected such Exchange Product Offering, and AHPC thereafter shall be free to market the Product itself or pursuant to a copromotion agreement or other agreement with any Third Party. If Elan notifies AHPC that it desires to negotiate a copromotion agreement for such Exchange Product, the Parties shall promptly initiate good faith negotiations of such a copromotion agreement, provided, however, that if the Parties fail to enter into a copromotion agreement within three (3) months (unless extended at AHPC’s sole discretion) after AHPC’s receipt of such notice from Elan, Elan shall be deemed to have rejected such Exchange Product Offering and AHPC thereafter shall be free to market the Exchange Product itself or pursuant to a copromotion agreement or other agreement with any Third Party. If Elan has accepted an Exchange Product Offering and the Parties, in accordance with this Section 15.1 have

     17.10. Independent Contractors. Both Parties are independent contractors under this Agreement.

EXHIBIT 5.3
ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING PROCEDURES
          The Parties hereby agree that the following terms will govern disclosures of each Party to the other with respect to adverse event reporting relating to any R&D Candidate or Product as clinically tested or marketed by or on behalf of either Party.
1. DEFINITIONS.
          1.1. Adverse Experience or Event (AE): An AE is defined as any untoward, undesired, or unplanned event in the form of signs, symptoms, disease, or laboratory or physiological observations occurring in a human being in a temporal relationship to use of a Product regardless of causal relationship. This includes:
    any clinically significant worsening of a pre-existing condition;
 
    an AE occurring from overdose (i.e., a dose higher than that prescribed by a health care professional for clinical reasons) of a Product, whether accidental or intentional;
 
    an AE occurring from abuse (i.e., use for non-clinical reasons) of a Product;
 
    an AE that has been associated with the discontinuation of the use of a Product;
 
    any failure of expected pharmacological action (for spontaneous reports).
          If there is any doubt whether the information constitutes an AE, the information will be treated as an AE.
          1.2. Serious AE: A serious AE is defined as an AE occurring at any dose that: results in death; is life-threatening (see below); requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization; results in a persistent or significant disability or incapacity (see below); results in cancer; results in a congenital anomaly or birth defect. Additionally, important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require hospitalization may be considered a serious AE when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they may jeopardize the patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition. Examples of such medical events include allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home; blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in hospitalization; or the development of drug dependency or abuse.
          1.2.1. Life-threatening refers to immediate risk of death as the event occurred. A life-threatening experience does not include an experience that, had it occurred in a more severe form, might have caused death but as it actually occurred did not create an immediate risk of death. For example, hepatitis that resolved without evidence of hepatic failure would not be considered life-threatening even though hepatitis of a more severe nature can be fatal. Similarly,

 


 

an allergic reaction resulting in angioedema of the face would not be life-threatening, even though angioedema of the larynx, allergic bronchospasm, or anaphylaxis can be fatal.
          1.2.2. Disability is defined as a substantial disruption in a person’s ability to conduct normal life functions.
          1.2.3. For studies, all pregnancies and all overdoses will be reported to GSSE in the same time frame as serious AEs.
          1.2.4. A serious AE obtained from tests in laboratory animals includes any experience suggesting a significant risk for human subjects, including any findings of mutagenicity, teratogenicity, or carcinogenicity.
          1.2.5. If there is any doubt whether the information constitutes a serious AE, the information will be treated as a serious AE.
          1.3. Non-Serious AE: is any AE which does not meet the criteria for a serious AE.
          1.4. Unexpected AE: An unexpected AE is one that is not listed in the current product labeling. The current product labeling is either the package insert (for marketed Products) or the current investigator’s brochure (for investigational Products). An unexpected AE includes any event that may be symptomatically and pathophysiologically related to an event listed in the labeling, but differs from the labeled event because of greater severity or specificity. For example, hepatic necrosis would be unexpected (by virtue of greater severity) if the product labeling referred only to elevated hepatic enzymes or hepatitis. Similarly, cerebral thromboembolism and cerebral vasculitis would be unexpected (by virtue of greater specificity) if the labeling only listed cerebral vascular accidents.
          1.5. Product (Drug, Vaccine, Biological, Device)-Related: For the purposes of regulatory reporting for investigational products, an AE will be considered “product-related” (i.e., drug-related, vaccine-related, etc.) for studies if either the investigator, the Medical Monitor, the CR&D Clinical Project Team Medical Monitor (or designee), or the Local Monitor (if applicable) assesses the AE(s) as possibly, probably, or definitely related.
          1.6. An AE will be considered “not product-related” for studies if the investigator and the medical monitor(s) and the local monitor (if applicable) assess the AE(s) as probably not related or definitely not related, or “relationship remote.”
          1.7. Whenever the investigator’s or monitor’s assessment is unknown or unclear, the AE(s) will be treated as product-related for the purposes of reporting to regulatory authorities.
          1.8. Protocol-Related: AEs from studies that are not product-related may nevertheless be considered by the investigator or the medical monitor(s) or the local monitor (if applicable) to be protocol-related. For purposes of reporting to GSSE and regulatory authorities, these will be reported in the same manner as product-related events.

          1.9. BLA Holder is defined as: An “Applicant” as defined in 21 C.F.R. Section 3 14.3(b), for regulatory approval of a Product in any regulatory jurisdiction, including a holder of a foreign equivalent thereto.
          1.10. IND Holder is defined as: A “Sponsor” as defined in 21 C.F.R. Section 312.3(b) of an investigational new drug in any regulatory jurisdiction, including a holder of a foreign equivalent thereto.
          1.11. Capitalized terms not defined in this Exhibit shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Agreement.
With respect to any R&D Candidate or Product, the Parties agree as follows:
     a. All initial reports and any follow-up information (oral or written) for any and all Serious AEs as defined above, (other than with respect to animal studies) which become known to either Party (other than from disclosure by or on behalf of the other Party) must be communicated by telephone, telefax or electronically directly to the other Party and/or the BLA Holder, IND Holder (individually and collectively referred to as “Holders”) within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt of the information. Written confirmation of the Serious AE received by such Party should be sent to the other Party and/or the Holders as soon as it becomes available, but in any event within forty-eight (48) hours of initial report of the Serious AE by such Party.
     b. Both Parties shall exchange Medwatch and/or CIOMs forms and other health authority reports within forty-eight (48) hours of submission to any Regulatory Authority.
     c. All initial reports and follow-up information received for all Non-Serious AEs for marketed Product which become known to a Party (other than from disclosure by or on behalf of the other Party) must be communicated in writing, by telefax or electronically to the other Party within the required time frame to meet the regulatory obligations of either Party, on Medwatch or CIOMs forms (where possible).
     d. Each Party shall coordinate and cooperate with the other whenever practicable to prepare a single written report regarding all Serious and/or Non-Serious AEs, provided, however, that neither Party shall be obligated to delay reporting of any AE in violation of applicable law or regulations regarding the reporting of AEs.
2. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT:
     a. A written report be forwarded to the other Party within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt by the Party making the report, for AEs for animal studies which suggest a potential significant risk for humans;
     b. Each Party will give the other Party a report via a print-out or computer disk of all AEs reported to it and its Affiliates relating to any R&D Candidate or Product

-3-


 

within the last year, within thirty (30) days of receipt of a request from the other Party but not more often than four (4) times a year;
     c. If either Party wishes access to AE Reports of the other Party relating to an R&D Candidate or Product, upon request of that Party, the other Party shall make available its AE records relating to the Product or Substance (including computer files) for viewing and copying by the other Party. The Parties may discuss the transfer of AE Reports by computer disk.
     d. Disclosure of information hereunder by a Party to the other Party shall continue as long as either Party and/or its Affiliates or designees continue to clinically test or market an R&D Candidate or Product.
3.   Each Party shall diligently undertake the following further obligations where both Parties are or will be commercializing the R&D Candidate or product pursuant to the Agreement and/or performing clinical trials with respect to the R&D Candidate or Product:
     a. Upon the Effective Date, each Party shall identify individuals who shall be responsible for identifying all AE reporting requirements in all countries of the world as set forth in the Agreement, and any amendments thereto;
     b. To immediately consult with the other Party, with respect to the investigation and handling of any Serious AE disclosed to it by the other Party or by a third Party and to allow the other Party to review the Serious AE and to participate in the follow-up investigation;
     c. To immediately advise the other Party of any R&D Candidate and/or Product safety communication received from a health authority and consult with the other Party with respect to any Product and/or Substance warning, labeling change or change to an investigator’s brochure involving safety issues proposed by the other Party, including, but not limited to the safety issues agreed to by the Parties;
     d. To diligently handle in a timely manner the follow-up investigation and resolution of each AE reported to it;
     e. To provide the other Party mutually agreed upon audit rights of its AE reporting system and documentation as related to any R&D Candidate and/or Product, upon prior notice, during normal business hours, at the expense of the auditing Party and under the confidentiality obligations set forth in the Agreement;
     f. To meet in a timely fashion from time to time as may be reasonably required to implement the adverse event reporting and consultation procedures described in this Exhibit 5.3, including identification of those individuals in each Party’s Drug Safety group who will be responsible for reporting to and receiving AE information from the other Party, and the development of a written standard operating procedure with respect to adverse event reporting responsibilities, including reporting responsibilities to investigators;

     g. Where possible, to transmit all data electronically;
     h. To report to each other any addenda, revisions or changes to the Agreement (e.g., change in territories, local regulations, addition of new licensors/licensees to the Agreement, etc.) which might alter the adverse event reporting responsibilities hereunder;
     i. To utilize English as the language of communication and data exchange between the Parties;
