ARTICLE 3

BMS RIGHT OF FIRST NEGOTIATION

3.1 BMS Right of First Negotiation. BMS shall have a right of first negotiation with respect to Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products as follows:

3.1.1 ITI shall not enter into a License Agreement, or enter into discussions with any Third Party with respect to any License, until Completion of the Qualified Study except as otherwise provided for in Section 2.3.1. After Completion of the Qualified Study, ITI shall be free to license any or all Licensed Compounds and any or all Licensed Products to Third Parties subject to the following rights of BMS.

(a) After Completion of the Qualified Study, in the event that ITI desires to enter into a License Agreement for one or more Licensed Compounds and/or Licensed Products, before entering into discussions with any Third Party with respect to a License for such Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products, ITI shall provide BMS with written notice that a data room is open and available at ITI for BMS to review the data and information generated in connection with any clinical trials and any other Development performed with the Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products that ITI intends to out-license (such written notice, a “Data Room Notice”). ITI shall use its best efforts to inform BMS prior to the Data Room Notice being sent that ITI is preparing a data room in anticipation of a Data Room Notice. The Data Room Notice shall identify the Licensed Compound(s) and the Licensed Product(s) that would be the subject of such License and shall comply with Section 3.7.

(b) As of the date the Data Room Notice is provided to BMS, the data room shall include all relevant data then in existence and available to ITI regarding the applicable Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products, including, where applicable, copies of clinical protocols, case report forms, investigator brochures, regulatory submissions and correspondence from regulatory agencies with respect to the Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products that would be the subject of the License, and details of any Patent Rights owned or Controlled by ITI relating to the Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products that would be the subject of the License, any licenses obtained from Third Parties relating to the Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products that would be the subject of the License, and the cost of goods and source of goods for the Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products that would be the subject of the License. ITI shall also promptly provide BMS with any additional information available to ITI that is related to the Licensed Compound(s) and Licensed Product(s) that would be the subject of the License, and access to personnel and facilities, as reasonably requested by BMS as part of BMS’ due diligence with respect to such License during the Negotiation Period (as defined below in Section 3.1.2).

 

-14-


(c) If BMS wishes to exercise its right of first negotiation and pursue license discussions, BMS shall so notify ITI thereof in writing (such notice, the “Exercise Notice”) no later than [***] ([***]) [***] following the date the Data Room Notice is provided to BMS (the “Exercise Period”). The Parties shall thereafter during the Negotiation Period (defined below in Section 3.1.2) each use diligent efforts to conduct good faith negotiations with respect to such License. During the Negotiation Period, ITI shall provide BMS with an opportunity to make a proposal of terms and conditions in a Term Sheet with respect to such License and ITI shall either agree to the proposal (and such Term Sheet shall be deemed as “The Term Sheet ITI Delivered to BMS” for purposes of Section 3.2.1 below) and the Parties each shall use diligent efforts to negotiate a License Agreement in good faith based on the proposal, or ITI shall promptly provide a Term Sheet to BMS with a counter offer. During the Negotiation Period, ITI may revise the terms and conditions of the Term Sheet with respect to such License, and the last such Term Sheet that ITI delivers to BMS shall be deemed “The Term Sheet ITI Delivered to BMS” for the purposes of Section 3.2.1 below.

3.1.2 If ITI and BMS do not conclude a License Agreement with respect to such License during a period of [***] following the date the Data Room Notice is provided to BMS (the “Negotiation Period”), ITI shall then be free to enter into negotiations with any Third Party regarding a License for such Licensed Compound(s) and Licensed Product(s), and, subject to the provisions set forth in Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4, to enter into such License with a Third Party. Such [***] Negotiation Period shall be extended by an additional [***] ([ ***]) [***] if during such [***] Negotiation Period (i) ITI and BMS reach agreement in principle with respect to a Term Sheet with respect to such License and (ii) BMS obtains internal approval of its executive committee to proceed with completing a License Agreement based on such Term Sheet.

3.1.3 Following delivery of the Data Room Notice, if BMS does not provide ITI with the Exercise Notice during the Exercise Period, ITI shall be free to enter into negotiations with any Third Party with respect to a License for the Licensed Compound(s) and Licensed Product(s) identified in the Data Room Notice, and ITI shall have the right to enter into a License Agreement with respect to the Licensed Compound(s) and Licensed Product(s) identified in the Data Room Notice without such Licensed Compound(s) and Licensed Product(s) being subject to Section 3.2 and Section 3.3, provided the geographic scope, the scope of licensed indications and the field of use in such License Agreement are the same as or narrower than those offered to BMS with respect to the Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products identified in the Data Room Notice.

3.1.4 ITI shall not enter into any License Agreement with any Third Party with respect to a License under terms and conditions which are Less Favorable to ITI (as defined in Section 3.6) than the terms and conditions set forth in The Term Sheet ITI Delivered to BMS, except in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 3.2.

 

-15-


3.2 Process for Execution of License Agreement with Third Party following Expiration of Negotiation Period. If ITI and BMS have not concluded a License Agreement within the Negotiation Period, and if ITI thereafter intends to enter into a License Agreement with a Third Party, ITI shall follow the procedures set forth below:

3.2.1 Independent Evaluation; Re-Offer of Less Favorable Terms. If ITI desires to enter into a License Agreement with the Third Party, ITI shall notify BMS thereof and shall notify an Independent Evaluator for the purpose of this Section 3.2.1. ITI shall bear the costs of engaging the Independent Evaluator.

(a) ITI shall provide the Independent Evaluator with the Third Party Term Sheet, without revealing the identity of the Third Party, and shall also provide the Independent Evaluator with a copy of The Term Sheet ITI Delivered to BMS that is applicable.

(b) The Independent Evaluator shall promptly make a determination of whether the terms and conditions of the Third Party Term Sheet are Less Favorable to ITI (as defined below in Section 3.6) than the terms and conditions of the Term Sheet ITI Delivered To BMS, in accordance with Section 3.6.1 below. Unless the Parties agree otherwise, such determination shall be made by the Independent Evaluator within [***] ([***]) [***] of receipt of the relevant Term Sheets from ITI and the Independent Evaluator shall promptly notify the Parties of such determination. The Independent Evaluator shall be required to make a definite determination based on information provided to it as to whether or not the Third Party Term Sheet is Less Favorable to ITI than the last Term Sheet offered by ITI to BMS. The Independent Evaluator shall not have the authority to render any other determination or to respond without a decision, and the Parties agree to be bound by and not to challenge such determination, except in the case where a Party alleges that the Independent Evaluator did not act in good faith, breached a fiduciary duty or engaged in willful misconduct.

(c) If [***],[***] shall [***] and such [***]. For the avoidance of doubt, [***].

(d) If the Independent Evaluator determines that the terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party Term Sheet are Less Favorable to ITI than the Term Sheet ITI Delivered To BMS, ITI may at its discretion continue its negotiation with the Third Party, with the objective of obtaining financial terms and conditions which are more favorable to ITI than the financial terms and conditions last offered by ITI to BMS, provided that ITI shall not enter into a License Agreement with such Third Party without first following the above procedure set forth in this Section 3.2 with respect to submitting a revised Third Party Term Sheet to BMS or the Independent Evaluator. Alternatively, ITI may offer such financial terms and conditions set out in the Third Party Term Sheet to BMS (or ITI may offer BMS terms and conditions financially Less Favorable to ITI than those set out in the Third Party Term Sheet). In the event that ITI makes such offer to BMS, ITI shall also offer to BMS the same terms with respect to governance and decision-making as set out in the Third Party Term Sheet (or otherwise proposed by ITI to the Third Party). If ITI offers such terms and conditions for a License to BMS in accordance with this Section 3.2.1(d), BMS shall have an additional fifteen (15) business days to provide ITI with notice that BMS desires to enter into a License Agreement with ITI on substantially the same financial terms and conditions as set out in such Term Sheet (an “Acceptance Notice”). If an Acceptance Notice is provided by BMS, the Parties shall work diligently to expeditiously complete such a License Agreement within [***] ([***]) [***]. Such [***] ([***]) [***] negotiation period shall be extended by an additional [***] ([***]) [***] if during such [***] ([***]) [***] negotiation period (i) ITI and BMS reach agreement in principle with respect to a Term Sheet with respect to such License and (ii) BMS obtains internal approval of its executive committee to proceed with completing a License Agreement based on such Term Sheet.

 

-16-


(e) If an Acceptance Notice is not provided by BMS within such [***] ([***])[***] period, or if ITI and BMS do not execute a binding License Agreement within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Acceptance Notice, ITI shall be free to enter into a License Agreement with such Third Party having the terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party Term Sheet (or terms and conditions more favorable to ITI than the terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party Term Sheet) and such other terms and conditions as ITI and the Third Party agree. For the avoidance of doubt, [***].

3.3 License Agreement for Retained Rights. If, after Completion of the Qualified Study, BMS does not enter into a License Agreement for a License, and if ITI enters into a License Agreement for a License with a Third Party in accordance with Sections 3.1 or 3.2 above where the License is for less than all of the Licensed Compounds and all of the Licensed Products for all indications in the Field in all of the Territory (a “Limited Third Party License Agreement”), and BMS did not previously have an opportunity to negotiate for a License to such Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products for such indications in the Field in such country(ies) of the Territory in accordance with Section 3.1 and 3.2 that were not licensed to the Third Party in the Limited Third Party License Agreement (such unlicensed Licensed Compounds, Licensed Products, indications, and countries, the “Retained Rights”), then prior to offering a License to any Retained Rights to any Third Party, ITI shall offer a License to such Retained Rights to BMS first, and the procedure described above in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 shall apply to such Retained Rights (except that ITI shall not be required to complete any clinical trial for any compound that is part of such Retained Rights).

3.4 Resurrection of Right of First Negotiation. If ITI provides BMS the opportunity to obtain a License in accordance with Sections 3.1 through 3.3 for particular Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products and BMS does not enter into a License Agreement for such Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products, and if ITI has not entered into a License Agreement with a Third Party with respect to a License for such Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products prior to the earlier of: (i) [***]; or (ii) [***], [***] shall [***], provided that ITI shall be free to continue negotiations regarding such License with any Third Party (but not initiate any new negotiations with any other Third Party with whom ITI has not previously negotiated with respect to such License) during any such Negotiation Period pursuant to this Section 3.4, but may not enter into a License Agreement with a Third Party until after the end of such Negotiation Period, and then only in accordance with and following the procedure set forth in Section 3.2.

3.5 Except as provided in Section 3.4, BMS’ right of first negotiation under this Article 3 shall be a one-time right per Licensed Product or Licensed Compound.

INDEMNITY

12.1 ITI Indemnity. ITI shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless BMS and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and their respective successors, heirs and assigns and representatives, from and against any and all damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal expenses, costs of litigation and reasonable attorney’s fees) arising in connection with any claims, suits, proceedings, whether for money damages or equitable relief, of any kind brought by any Third Party (collectively “Losses and Claims”) and arising out of or relating, directly or indirectly, (i) to the research, discovery Development, Commercialization (including, without limitation, promotion, advertising, offering for sale, sale or other disposition), transfer, importation or exportation, manufacture, labeling, handling or storage, or use of, or exposure to, any Licensed Compound or any Licensed Product by or for ITI or any of its Affiliates, distributors, Sublicensees, agents and contractors or any consumer of any Licensed Compound or any Licensed Product or (ii) to ITI’s (or its Affiliates’ and Sublicensees’) use and practice otherwise of the BMS Patent Rights and BMS Know-How, including, without limitation, for each of clauses (i) and (ii), claims and threatened claims based on product liability, bodily injury, risk of bodily injury, death or property damage, infringement or misappropriation of Third Party patents, copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property rights, or the failure to comply with applicable Law related to the matters referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) with respect to any Licensed Compound or any Licensed Product; [***].

12.2 BMS Indemnity. BMS shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless ITI and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and their respective successors, heirs and assigns and representatives, from and against any and all Losses and Claims arising out of or relating, directly or indirectly, [***].

 

-37-


12.3 Indemnification Procedure. A claim to which indemnification applies under Section 12.1 shall be referred to herein as an “Indemnification Claim”. If any Person or Persons (collectively, the “Indemnitee”) intends to claim indemnification under this Article 12, the Indemnitee shall notify the Party subject to the indemnification obligation (the “Indemnitor”) in writing promptly upon becoming aware of any claim that may be an Indemnification Claim (it being understood and agreed, however, that the failure by an Indemnitee to give such notice shall not relieve Indemnitor of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice). The Indemnitor shall have the right to assume and control the defense of the Indemnification Claim at its own expense with counsel selected by the Indemnitor and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnitee, if representation of such Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceedings. If the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of the Indemnification Claim as aforesaid, the Indemnitee may defend the Indemnification Claim but shall have no obligation to do so. The Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise the Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, and the Indemnitor shall not settle or compromise the Indemnification Claim in any manner which would have an adverse effect on the Indemnitee’s interests (including without limitation any rights under this Agreement or the scope or enforceability of the BMS Patents Rights or BMS Know-How), without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor at the Indemnitor’s expense and shall make available to the Indemnitor all pertinent information under the control of the Indemnitee, which information shall be subject to Article 11.

12.4 Insurance. ITI shall, beginning with the initiation of the first clinical trial for a Licensed Product, maintain at all times thereafter during the term of this Agreement, and until the later of (i) [***] ([***]) [***] or (ii) [***], [***], [***], [***], and with [***] and [***]. Within [***] ([***]) [***] following written request from BMS, ITI shall furnish to BMS a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage as of the date. Each such certificate of insurance, as well as any certificates evidencing new or modified coverages of ITI, shall include a provision whereby [***] ([***]) [***] written notice must be received by BMS prior to coverage modification or cancellation by either ITI or the insurer and of any new or modified coverage. In the case of a modification or cancellation of such coverage, ITI shall promptly provide BMS with a new certificate of insurance evidencing that ITI’s coverage meets the requirements in the first sentence of this Section 12.3.

ARTICLE 13

13.6.13 In the event that ITI terminates the entire Agreement pursuant to Section 13.3.1, the license granted under Section 2.7 shall remain in effect and shall be fully paid up.

13.6.14 If ITI has the capability in place as of the date of such termination to commercially manufacture and supply to BMS all or part of BMS’ requirements of the applicable Licensed Compounds and/or Licensed Products for use and sale in the terminated countries, if BMS so elects in its sole discretion, ITI shall supply as much of BMS’ requirements as possible (not to exceed amounts then manufactured by ITI) of such Licensed Compounds and/or Licensed Products for a period not to exceed [***] ([***]) [***] (with the period of time being within the sole discretion of BMS) for use and sale in the terminated countries, at a price equal to [***] ([***]) of ITI’s documented fully-burdened manufacturing cost (determined in accordance with GAAP) for such Licensed Compounds and/or Licensed Products, under terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed between the Parties.

Where ITI has engaged a Third Party to manufacture and supply any applicable Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products to ITI and BMS elects to have ITI supply any portion of BMS’ requirements of such Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products, then ITI shall supply such Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products at the cost paid by ITI to such Third Party plus ITI’s shipping, handling and other reasonable costs associated with providing such Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products to BMS.

13.6.15 Nothing in this Section 13.6 shall be deemed to limit any remedy to which ITI may be entitled by applicable Law.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

INTRA-CELLULAR THERAPIES, INC. RECEIVES EXCLUSIVE LICENSE FOR CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM COMPOUNDS FROM BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANY

NEW YORK, NY—May XXth, 2005- Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc., (ITI) a privately held biopharmaceutical company focusing on the development of new therapeutics for neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, today announced that it has been granted an exclusive, worldwide license to a family of pre-clinical compounds from Bristol-Myers Squibb Company.

“This agreement provides ITI with a portfolio of compounds with potential to be effective treatments for schizophrenia and other therapies for CNS indications such as Tourette’s. syndrome, Bipolar Disorder, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder,” said CEO and Chairman of ITI, Sharon Mates, Ph.D. “The compounds complement our internal pipeline of small molecule therapeutics developed using ITI’s drug discovery platform.”

Under the terms of the agreement, ITI will pay to Bristol-Myers Squibb an upfront license fee, development-based milestone payments and royalties should the compound receive regulatory approval for commercialization. Additional financial terms were not disclosed.

About Intra-Cellular Therapies

Intra-cellular Therapies, Inc. (ITI) is developing novel drugs for the treatment of schizophrenia, depression, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease and other disorders of the Central Nervous System (CNS). The Company is uniquely focusing on the signaling pathways inside nerve cells, as elucidated by Nobel-Prize winning scientist and Rockefeller University Professor Dr. Paul Greengard. ITI has exclusively licensed a platform of technologies from The Rockefeller University. Using this platform ITI has developed a pre-clinical pipeline of small molecule therapeutics for the treatment of CNS disorders. The first product under development discovered using the Company’s proprietary technology platform is a small molecule therapeutic for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and other CNS disorders.

About Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a devastating brain disorder that affects approximately 2.2 million American adults, or 1.1 percent of the population age 18 and older. Schizophrenia interferes with a person’s ability to think clearly, to distinguish reality from fantasy, to manage emotions, make decisions, and relate to others. The first signs of schizophrenia typically emerge in the teenage years or early twenties. Because of the early onset and chronic nature of the disorder schizophrenia exerts a heavy burden on the nation’s medical care system. It is estimated that $33 Billion/year is spent in the US on direct medical costs related to schizophrenia.

Except for the historical information presented herein, matters discussed herein may constitute forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause
