APPENDIX B


Annual Minimums


Products: AR-13324 Ophthalmic Solution, 0.02% (Rhopressa®) and PG-324 Ophthalmic Solution, 0.02% (Rocklatan™)



Calendar YearAnnual Minimum (number of units)
2020[***]
2021[***]
2022[***]
2023[***]



1.During each Calendar Year above, Aerie shall purchase a combined number of units of all Products (Rhopressa and Rocklatan) in the Annual Minimum amounts set forth in the table above.

2.If Aerie fails to purchase the Annual Minimum during any applicable calendar year, Aerie shall pay to B+L an amount calculated by subtracting the total combined number of units of all Products actually purchased by Aerie during such Calendar Year from the applicable Annual Minimum for such Calendar Year and then multiplying that result by an amount equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of the average of the per unit prices of the commercial (non-sample) sizes of the Products as set forth in Appendix A (the resulting amount being the "Shortfall Amount").
3.Aerie shall pay any Shortfall Amount to B+L within forty-five (45) days of receipt of invoice issued following the end of the applicable Calendar Year.

For purposes of an example of the calculation of the Shortfall Amount utilizing the Annual Minimums set forth above and the current prices set forth in Appendix A, assume that in 2020 Aerie purchases [***] units of Rhopressa and [***] units of Rocklatan. The calculation







would be as follows:

(Annual Minimum - Total Combined units purchased) x [***]% of Average Purchase Price of Commercial Products) = Shortfall Amount
([***] - [***]) x ([***] x (([***]+ [***]) / [***]))

[***] x ([***] x [***])

[***] x [***]= [***] (Shortfall Amount)
