Joint Development Committee. In accordance with Section 6.6(c), the JDC will act as an information-sharing forum with respect to the Research and Development of each Reversion Product. The Continuing Party will provide such information and data regarding the Development of the Reversion Product as the JDC would customarily receive regarding a Product to the extent that it specifically relates to, if Unum is the Opt-Out Party, ACTR T-cells or the ACTR platform technology and, if SGI is the Opt-Out Party, the applicable SGI Antibody. In addition, the Continuing Party will provide summaries of all other material information and data regarding the Development of such Reversion Product. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Joint Development Committee will have no decision-making authority or approval rights with respect to a Reversion Product.

Within ​ days after the end of each calendar quarter prior to the calendar quarter in which the First Commercial Sale of each Product occurs in the Shared Territory, Unum and SGI will submit to a finance officer designated by Unum and a finance officer designated by SGI (the “Finance Officers”) a report setting forth the Research Costs, Development Costs and Joint Commercialization Costs it incurred in such calendar quarter with respect to each Research Candidate, Development Candidate and Product. Each such report will specify in reasonable detail all such costs, and, if requested by Unum or SGI, any invoices or other supporting documentation for any payments to a Third Party that individually exceed ​ or with respect to which documentation is otherwise reasonably requested will be promptly provided. Within ​ Business Days after receipt of such reports, the Finance Officers will confer and agree in writing on whether a reconciliation payment is due from Unum to SGI or SGI to Unum, and if so, the amount of such reconciliation payment, so that Unum and SGI share Research Costs, Development Costs and Joint Commercialization Costs in accordance with this Agreement. Unum or SGI, as applicable, if required to pay such reconciliation payment, will submit such payment to SGI or Unum, respectively, as applicable, within ​ days of receipt of the other Party’s invoice for such amount; provided, however, that in the event of any disagreement with respect to the calculation of such reconciliation payment, any undisputed portion of such reconciliation payment will be paid in accordance with the foregoing timetable and the remaining, disputed portion will be paid within ​ Business Days after the date on which Unum and SGI, using good faith efforts, resolve the dispute. In addition, each Party will consider in good faith other reasonable procedures proposed by the other Party for sharing financial information in order to permit each Party to close its books periodically in a timely manner. For the avoidance of doubt, no cost or expense will be counted more than once in calculating Research Costs, Development Costs and Joint Commercialization Costs, even if such cost or expense falls into more than one of the cost categories that comprise Research Costs, Development Costs and Joint Commercialization Costs.
