written plan mutually agreed by the Parties (the “ Baseline Commercial Plan ”), which plan is attached as Exhibit 1 to this Amendment and is hereby incorporated into the Restated Agreement as Appendix H thereto.

(c) Annual Commercial Plan . At least three (3) months prior to January 1 of each calendar year during the U.S. Abilify Extension Term, commencing prior to calendar year 2010, the JCC (or an Operational Team designated by the JCC) shall consider, modify as it deems appropriate, and approve by mutual agreement a written plan setting forth the Commercial Operations performance obligations and operating expenses for the upcoming calendar year in the United States (the “ Annual Commercial Plan ”). It is understood by the Parties that BMS will continue to perform all Commercial Operations activities, except that Otsuka shall deploy MRs and MSLs (together with BMS, as set forth herein), and shall perform any other Commercial Operations activities agreed by the JCC (in which case the allocation between the Parties of responsibility for performing a particular item or activity will be set forth in the Annual Commercial Plan). The Annual Commercial Plan shall specify the aggregate number of MRs and MSLs to be deployed by the Parties in the United States and the total minimum detailing requirements to be fulfilled by the Parties in the United States for the upcoming calendar year (the “ Annual Resource Commitment ”) and shall include a detailed budget for the operating expenses to be incurred by the Parties (in the aggregate, and also broken down to specific budgets for the individual categories of Commercial Operations covered by the Annual Commercial Plan) in connection with Commercial Operations in the United States for the upcoming calendar year (the “ Annual Commercial Expense Budget ”).

If the JCC is unable to agree upon and approve the Annual Commercial Plan for any calendar year during the U.S. Abilify Extension Term, then the Baseline Commercial Plan attached as Exhibit 1 to this Amendment shall govern the Parties’ obligations and the total expense budget with respect to Commercial Operations in the United States for such year, and the aggregate number of MRs and MSLs to be deployed by the Parties in the United States and the total detailing requirements to be fulfilled by the Parties in the United States set forth in the Baseline Commercial Plan shall be deemed to be the Annual Resource Commitment for such calendar year, and the aggregate expense budget set forth in the Baseline Commercial Plan shall be deemed to be the Annual Commercial Expense Budget for such year. From time to time during any such calendar year, the JCC may agree to modify or amend the Annual Resource Commitment and/or the Commercial Expense Budget for such year. Notwithstanding Section 5.1.2 of the Restated Agreement (as amended by this Amendment), neither the BMS Chair nor the Otsuka Chair of the JCC shall have the tie-breaking vote with respect to establishing any Annual Commercial Plan or modifying any Annual Resource Commitment or Commercial Expense Budget, which must be mutually agreed to by Otsuka’s Chair and BMS’ Chair on the JCC. For the avoidance of doubt, the JCC shall continue to have final authority and responsibility for development of the Marketing Plans in accordance with Section 5.2 of the Restated Agreement, and each Annual Commercial Plan and the Baseline Commercial Plan shall form part of the Marketing Plans for the United States; provided that, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of any Marketing Plan and the terms of the Baseline Commercial Plan or any Annual Commercial Plan, the terms of the Baseline Commercial Plan or Annual Commercial Plan (as the case may be) shall govern.

(d) Otsuka Promotional Efforts . Without limiting its right under Paragraph 7(g) to contribute additional resources (at its expense), Otsuka (or its Affiliate) shall have the right during the period commencing January 1, 2010, and ending June 30, 2014, to deploy [*] MRs and [*]MSLs in the United States in each such year, with the FTE Rates and Indirect Costs (as provided in Exhibit 2 to this Amendment) associated with such MRs and MSLs being allocable between the Parties as Operational Expenses.

At the time the JCC considers the Annual Commercial Plan for each calendar year during the U.S. Abilify Extension Term, and in any event at least six (6) months prior to January 1 of each year during the U.S. Abilify Extension Term, Otsuka shall determine in its discretion, and shall inform BMS of, the number of MRs and MSLs (up to the maximum numbers set forth above in this subparagraph (d)) that Otsuka (or its Affiliate) shall deploy during the upcoming calendar year. The actual number of MRs and MSLs and details that Otsuka commits to deploy in a particular calendar year during the U.S. Abilify Extension Term is referred to in this Amendment as Otsuka’s “ Required Resource Commitment ” for such year. In each calendar year during the U.S. Abilify Extension Term, Otsuka shall fulfill its Required Resource Commitment for such year, and BMS shall fulfill the balance of the Annual Resource Commitment for such year, which shall be the difference between such Annual Resource Commitment and Otsuka’s Required Resource Commitment for the year (such remainder being BMS’ “ Required Resource Commitment ” for such year). Each Party’s Required Resource Commitment for each calendar year during the U.S. Abilify Extension Term shall be set forth in the Annual Commercial Plan for such calendar year.

As provided in greater detail in Exhibit 3 to this Amendment, each Party’s MRs shall be assigned an equitable share of valuable, productive accounts and an equitable share of responsibility for opinion leaders, large accounts and other more desirable accounts and prescribers.

The JCC shall consult in good faith regarding, and shall mutually determine (with neither Party having a tie-breaking vote), a reasonable plan and budget, with a duration of no more than ninety (90) days (the “[*] Plan ”), for the [*] pursuant to this subparagraph (d). The [*] Plan shall also plan for [*]. In making [*] during such transition, the Parties acknowledge that such transition will involve disruption of [*] with respect to Product, but they shall work cooperatively to minimize such disruption and to achieve an efficient and cost-effective transition, and in manner consistent with the ultimate achievement of the above-described equitable allocation of responsibility. The [*] Plan shall be deemed to be an amendment to the applicable Annual Commercial Plan, including the associated Annual Commercial Expense Budget. The Parties acknowledge that such agreed transition arrangements may result in the inclusion in such Annual Commercial Plan and Annual Commercial Expense Budget, and the charging by either or both Parties of, Operational Expenses for [*] with respect to the Product, during the limited period of such transition, than would otherwise have been the case had Otsuka not exercised its right to deploy MRs pursuant to this subparagraph (d).

(e) Co-Promotion Agreement . In furtherance of the terms and conditions set forth in this Paragraph 7, the Parties shall enter into a co-promotion agreement (the “Co-Promotion Agreement” ) to be negotiated in good faith by the Parties and entered into within one hundred

twenty (120) days subsequent to the Amendment Effective Date. The Co-Promotion Agreement will include the specific terms set forth in Exhibit 3 to this Amendment, along with additional commercially reasonable terms and conditions customary in the industry for an agreement of this type. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Amendment and the terms of the Co-Promotion Agreement, the terms of this Amendment shall prevail (unless the Co-Promotion Agreement specifically states otherwise).

(f) Allocation and Payment of Operational Expenses .

(i) Each Annual Commercial Expense Budget shall itemize the Operational Expenses to be incurred by the Parties in the applicable calendar year, in a detailed manner with respect to each different category of Commercial Operations, including (without limitation) costs of Product-related sales and promotional literature, materials and supplies, costs of advertisements and press materials, costs of educational symposia, conferences and programs, and the cumulative cost of both Parties’ direct expenses for MRs and MSLs (on an FTE basis) budgeted to be incurred in fulfilling each Party’s Required Resource Commitment in the calendar year.

(ii) It is understood and agreed by the Parties that (A) all costs associated with the Parties’ MRs and MSL
