Affiliates. Wherever used in this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” means, in respect to any person or entity, any other person or entity that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the first person or entity.

Each Party may perform any of its Manufacturing and supply obligations under this Agreement through one or more Third Parties, provided that # such Party remains responsible for the work allocated to, and payment to, such Third Party to the same extent it would if it had done such work itself; # the Third Party undertakes in writing commercially reasonable obligations of confidentiality and non-use regarding Confidential Information that are substantially the same as those undertaken by the Parties with respect to Confidential Information pursuant to Article 15 hereof; and # the Third Party undertakes in writing to assign or exclusively license back (with the right to sublicense) all intellectual property with respect to Research Candidates, Development Candidates and Products developed in the course of performing any such Manufacturing to such Party.

Each Party may also subcontract Manufacturing work on terms other than those set forth in this Section 9.9(a), with the prior approval of the JSC.
