No such product shall be commercialized in the Territory during the term without the mutual agreement of the parties.
     2.5 Trademark and Trade Dress Matters.
          (a) Sale under Trademarks. In the Territory, Forest and its Affiliates will sell Products exclusively under the Trademark in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Trademark has been selected by Replidyne and submitted to the FDA prior the Effective Date. If the FDA does not approve the use of such submitted Trademark or if either party determines to use an alternate Trademark in the Territory, the parties shall select by mutual agreement an alternate Trademark for use with the Product. The Trademark shall be owned by Replidyne, subject to the license granted to Forest herein.
          (b) Use of Names and Logos on Product and Related Materials. Subject to Applicable Laws, all packaging and labels and all sales, advertising and promotional literature and other materials used in connection with Products in the Territory shall indicate that the Product is sold under license from Replidyne and shall bear the names and logos of both Replidyne and Forest. As used in this Agreement, “labels” or “labeling” means labels and other written, printed or graphic matter, including without limitation artwork upon the Products or any container utilized with the Products, and “packaging” means containers, cartons, shipping cases, package inserts or other similar material used in packing or accompanying the Products. The place and manner of use of the names and logos of Replidyne and Forest shall be determined by Forest in consultation with Replidyne, but in any event shall be of equal size and prominence.

The place and manner of such information and DAP Logogram shall be subject to agreement with DAP, such approval not to be withheld if such information and DAP Logogram are used in accordance with DAP’s normal practices.

          (d) Trademark Use. The manner of use of the Trademarks shall be subject to periodic review by the JMC. Forest shall not use the Trademarks in a way that would diminish their value, and Forest shall not use a trademark confusingly similar to one of the Trademarks with any of its other products or use the Trademarks in combination with Forest’s other trademarks in a manner which would create combination marks. Forest shall comply with reasonable policies for usage of Trademarks, as approved by the JMC from time to time. Replidyne shall utilize the Trademarks within the Territory only in accordance with this Agreement. Replidyne may utilize the Trademarks outside the Territory, except that, if there is a reasonable likelihood of a negative impact from parallel imports of Product (or corresponding Generic Equivalents) using the Trademark from outside the Territory into the Territory, then Replidyne may utilize such Trademark outside the Territory only with Forest’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in light of Replidyne’s proposals to address such negative impact from parallel imports. If Forest reasonably withholds its approval of the use of the Trademark outside the Territory, Replidyne shall not authorize the use of the Trademark by DAP outside the Territory. If DAP nevertheless uses the Trademark outside the Territory, Replidyne shall be responsible, in its sole discretion, to enforce its rights with respect to the Trademark under the DAP Agreement. Replidyne shall hold Forest harmless from any direct damages incurred by Forest as a result of parallel imports of Product attributable to DAP’s un-authorized use of the Trademark outside the Territory or as a result of other actions taken by DAP directly resulting from Replidyne’s refusal to permit DAP to use the Trademark outside the Territory, subject to Section 10.5.
     2.6 Sales Outside the Territory. To the extent not otherwise prohibited by law, neither Forest nor its Affiliates or permitted sublicensees shall sell Product to customers outside the Territory or to any Third Party in the Territory that Forest has reasonable grounds to believe are likely to export Product outside the Territory. If Forest becomes aware that a Third Party in the Territory is exporting Products acquired from Forest to a country outside the Territory, then Forest shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts within its legal rights and the remedies afforded by Applicable Laws to deter such Third Party from continuing such exportation, including, without limitation by ceasing or limiting the supply of Product to such Third Party. All inquiries or orders received by Forest for Products to be delivered outside of the Territory shall be referred to Replidyne. To the extent not otherwise prohibited by law, neither Replidyne nor its Affiliates or licensees will sell Product to customers inside the Territory or to any Third Party that Replidyne has reasonable grounds to believe are likely to import Product into the Territory. If Replidyne becomes aware that a Third Party outside the Territory is exporting Product acquired from Replidyne or any Affiliate or licensee to a country within the Territory, then Replidyne shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts within its legal rights and the remedies afforded by Applicable Laws to deter such Third Party from continuing such exportation, including, without limitation, by ceasing or limiting the supply of Product to such Third Party. All inquiries or orders received by Replidyne for Products to be distributed within the Territory shall be referred to Forest.
     2.7 Retained Rights; No Implied Licenses. For avoidance of doubt, the licenses granted in Section 2.1 shall not in any way be interpreted as granting Forest a license to manufacture or have manufactured Drug Substance or to sell the Drug Substance, except to the extent included in rights granted to Replidyne under the DAP Agreement, the API Supply

No right or license under any Patents or other intellectual property rights of either party is granted or shall be granted by implication to the other, and each party agrees not to practice any Patents or other intellectual property rights of the other party except pursuant to the licenses expressly granted in this Agreement or any other written agreement between the parties.

expense and, if so, on what terms the results of such development activities would be made available to the other party by the party that conducts such development activities.
     4.2 Oral Suspension Development. As a specific activity under the Development Program, the parties will collaborate to complete development of an Oral Suspension, with the goal of maximizing efficiency and controlling Development Costs by utilizing the expertise and existing resources of each of the parties. The JDC shall allocate tasks between the parties and to Third Parties based on the availability of expertise to conduct development activities cost effectively. The allocation of each party’s responsibilities shall be set forth in the Development Plan.
     4.3 Technology and Information Transfer. Commencing promptly after the Effective Date and from time to time thereafter during the Term, Replidyne shall disclose to Forest such Licensed Technology in Replidyne’s possession as is reasonably necessary or useful to enable Forest to exercise fully the licenses granted to Forest under Article 2. Commencing promptly after the Effective Date and from time to time thereafter during the Term, Forest will disclose to Replidyne such Forest Technology in Forest’s possession as is reasonably necessary or useful to enable Replidyne to perform its Development Program activities hereunder in accordance with the Development Plan and otherwise to exercise fully the licenses granted to Replidyne under Article 2 hereof. Each party will, at no cost or expense to the other party, provide such other party with copies of or access to any and all Development Information generated or otherwise obtained in the development of Products as provided in this Section 4.3, all of which Development Information may be used and referenced by or on behalf of Forest in the development, manufacture and/or commercialization of Product in the Field in the Territory in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and by or on behalf of Replidyne in the performance by Replidyne of the development and commercialization activities with respect to the Product in the Field in the Territory in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (including, as appropriate and, without limitation, by DAP) in the development, manufacture and/or commercialization of Product in the Field outside the Territory, including, without limitation, in the preparation, submission, filing, prosecution and maintenance of regulatory approvals in the applicable territory. Moreover, upon reasonable written notice from a party, the other party will provide regulatory authorities with access to any Development Information for inspection and/or review as may be required under Applicable Law.

shall prepare, and distribute to all members of the JDC no later than ten (10) days prior to the next JDC meeting, such report as the JDC may request setting forth such information regarding the results and progress of performance of the Development Program. Nothing herein shall require a party to disclose information received from or generated for a Third Party that remains subject to bona fide confidentiality obligations to such Third Party; provided that neither party shall undertake any such confidentiality obligations in favor of Third Parties to the extent such obligations could reasonably be expected to prevent the sharing of information necessary or useful for the efficient conduct of the Development Program.
     4.6 Development Costs.
          (a) Allocation of Costs. Replidyne will bear [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) and Forest will bear [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the Development Costs incurred by the parties under the Development Plan, including without limitation Development Costs incurred for clinical development necessary to support NDAs for a Tablet in a 600 mg dosage and an Oral Suspension.
          (b) Reports and Payments.

Within forty five (45) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter, the party that has paid less than its share of such Development Costs as provided in Section 4.6(a) shall make a reconciling payment to the other party to achieve the appropriate allocation of Development Costs provided in Section 4.6(a). Each such report shall enable the receiving party to compare the reported Development Costs against the Development Plan, on both a quarterly basis and a cumulative basis for each activity. The parties shall seek to resolve any questions related to such accounting statements within fifteen (15) days following receipt by each party of the other party’s report hereunder.
     4.7 Registration Activities. Regulatory strategy for the Product and all decision-making with respect thereto shall be determined by the JDC. Prior to the Effective Date, Replidyne has prepared and submitted to the FDA a NDA for a Tablet in a 300 mg dosage. Replidyne and Forest will collaborate to develop and prepare for submission any supplemental NDAs or additional NDAs for the Products, with the specific responsibilities of each party’s personnel to be assigned by the JDC based on the availability of expertise and resources within each party’s organization. Replidyne shall hold the NDA for the Tablet and any subsequent supplemental NDAs for the Tablet until approval of the NDA for the Tablet, at which time Forest will become the holder of such NDA. The IND and NDA for the Oral Suspension will be filed in Replidyne’s name, and Replidyne shall hold the NDA and any subsequent supplemental NDAs for the Oral Suspension until approval of the NDA for the Oral Suspension, at which time Forest will become the holder of such NDA. Irrespective of which party prepares any such NDA or portion thereof, the other party shall be given the opportunity to review and provide comments on any such submission and no such NDA (including any supplemental NDA) shall be submitted for filing to the FDA without the mutual agreement of Forest and Replidyne, such consent not to

be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Forest and Replidyne shall keep one another fully informed of the registration process of Product through the Joint Development Committee. Each party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain in a timely manner NDA Approvals for Products.
     4.8 Meetings and Communications with the FDA. As of the date(s) to be mutually agreed by the parties, but in any event within six (6) months after the Effective Date, Forest shall be designated as Replidyne’s agent for purposes of adverse event reporting, sample tracking and submissions and interactions with the FDA’s Division of Drug Marketing, Advertising and Communications with respect to Products in the Territory and shall have the primary responsibility for the associated subject matters. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.7, Replidyne shall be primarily responsible for and have the authority to conduct interactions with the FDA regarding NDA approval matters until transfer of the NDA to Forest, following which Forest shall have such primary contact responsibilities. Irrespective of which party has such primary contact responsibility, the other party shall be notified in advance of any substantive communications with the FDA and shall be afforded the opportunity to participate in such communications. Subject to the preceding sentence, to the extent permitted by the FDA, Replidyne and Forest shall mutually attend all meetings, participate in any oral communications and agree upon any written communications with the FDA relating to Product and labeling discussions with the FDA shall be conducted jointly by Forest and Replidyne.
     4.9 Subcontracts. Each party may perform some of their obligations under the Development Plan through one (1) or more Affiliates or subcontractors; provided that (a) none of the rights of either party hereunder are diminished or otherwise adversely affected as a result of such subcontracting, and (b) the Affiliate or subcontractor undertakes in writing obligations of confidentiality and non-use regarding Confidential Information which are substantially the same as those undertaken by the parties pursuant to Article 11 hereof. If a party performs any of its obligations under this Agreement through an Affiliate or subcontractor, then such party will at all times be responsible for the performance and payment of such Affiliate or subcontractor and will actively monitor and supervise the work of such Affiliate or subcontractor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a party desires to use a subcontractor hereunder, it will first offer the other party the opportunity to provide the affected services utilizing its internal resources to the extent such other party possesses qualified resources to provide such services in a timely and efficient manner and at a cost competitive to the use of Third Party resources.
     4.10 Materials Transfer. In order to facilitate the Development Program, either party may provide to the other party certain biological materials or chemical compounds Controlled by the supplying party (collectively, “Materials”) for use by the other party in furtherance of the Development Program. Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement, all such Materials delivered to the other party will remain the sole property of the supplying party, will be used only in furtherance of the Development Program in accordance with this Agreement, will not be used or delivered to or for the benefit of any Third Party without the prior written consent of the supplying party, and will be used in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Materials supplied under this Agreement must be used with prudence and appropriate caution in any experimental work because not all of their characteristics may be known. Except as expressly set forth herein, and provided that the materials shall comply with any certificate of analysis or specifications provided by or on behalf of the supplying party, the Materials are

provided “as is” and without any representation or warranty, express or implied, including without limitation any implied warranty of merchantability or of fitness for any particular purpose or any warranty that the use of the Materials will not infringe or violate any patent or other proprietary rights of any third party.
     4.11 Liability. In connection with the conduct of the Development Program, Replidyne will bear [ *** ] and Forest will bear [ *** ] of any liability for personal injury or property damage arising in connection with the conduct of the clinical development activities and the indemnification obligations of the parties set forth in Article 13 with respect to these matters shall be applied in a manner consistent with such allocation of liability; provided, however, that each party shall be responsible for, and hereby assumes, any and all risks of personal injury or property damage attributable solely to the negligence or willful misconduct of that party or its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents.
5. Commercialization
     5.1 Forest General Commercial Responsibilities. Forest or its Affiliate shall be responsible, at its own expense, for the conduct of all promotion, marketing, sampling, pre-launch, launch and sales activities with respect to Products in the Field in the Territory, subject to Replidyne’s promotion, marketing, sampling and sales activities with respect to Products to Target Specialists in the Territory, as more fully described in Section 5.4, and if Replidyne exercises the Pediatrician Promotion Option pursuant to Section 5.5, to Pediatricians in the Territory.
     5.2 Marketing Plans. Within a reasonable period of time after the Effective Date, Forest or its Affiliate shall prepare and submit to the Joint Marketing Committee for review and approval a Marketing Plan.

A separate Marketing Plan shall be prepared for each Product subsequently launched, the initial version of which shall be submitted to the JMC for review and approval not later than three (3) months after NDA Acceptance for such Product. The Marketing Plan shall be updated on an annual basis approximately [ *** ] months in advance of the beginning of the next applicable Detailing Year. The JMC shall then discuss and agree upon such updated Marketing Plan within thirty (30) days after submission of such Marketing Plan to the JMC.
     5.3 Diligence.
          (a) Forest shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to promote, market and

sell Product in the Field in the Territory in accordance with the Marketing Plan.
          (b) The launch of the Tablet in a 300 mg dosage by Forest or its Affiliates in the Territory shall take place within no more than six (6) months following NDA Approval of such Product, including, for this purpose, FDA approval of labeling and product launch promotional materials for such Product (provided that such that such NDA Approval includes approval for use in (i) acute sinusitis and (ii) and one of the following: (A) community acquired pneumonia; or (B) the AECB Indication, unless the JMC determines that seasonality considerations support extending the launch time by up to an additional three (3) months). In addition, Forest’s obligation to launch is subject to having approved dating for the Product of at least eighteen (18) months and having available launch supplies of Product having such dating (it being agreed that Forest shall be required to order Drug Substance when it is commercially reasonable to do so, with the understanding that receipt of an approvable letter from the FDA is not necessary for a determination that it is commercially reasonable to order Drug Substance for such Product supplies).
          (c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Forest agrees that in each of the first [ *** ] sales years following the First Commercial Sale of the first Tablet subject to NDA Approval, Forest (i) will provide at least [ *** ] Details for the Tablet and (ii) will incur at least [ *** ] dollars ($[ *** ]) in Marketing and Sample Expense; provided that if there is any development (including Forest’s launch of the Product with only one approved respiratory indication) that is material and adverse to the market potential for the Tablet or materially and adversely affects the commercial value of Detailing efforts, and such specific commitment is no longer commercially reasonable in light of such development, then the preceding specific commitment shall be reduced to a commercially reasonable level mutually agreed by the parties.
          (d) Following launch of the first Oral Suspension, Commercially Reasonable Efforts with respect to the promotion and marketing of the Product to all audiences in the Territory shall require a significant increase over the level of resources applied to the promotion of the Tablets alone in the preceding year to reflect the additional value of the Oral Suspension. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the party responsible for promotional activities directed toward Pediatricians (i.e., Replidyne, if Replidyne has exercised the Pediatrician Promotion Option, and otherwise Forest) shall provide at least [ *** ] Details directed to Pediatricians during each of the first [ *** ] sales years following the First Commercial Sale of the Oral Suspension; provided that if there is any development (including launch of the Oral Suspension without approval of the AOM Indication) that is material and adverse to the market potential for the Oral Suspension or materially and adversely affects the commercial value of Detailing efforts, and such specific commitment is no longer commercially reasonable in light of such development, then the preceding specific commitment shall be reduced to a commercially reasonable level mutually agreed by the parties.
          (e) Irrespective of which party performs Detailing activities directed toward Pediatricians, the Marketing Plan will contain sections describing activities directed to Pediatricians, as well as the marketing of the Oral Suspension to non-Pediatricians, which sections will be consistent with the JMC’s overall marketing strategy for the Product in the Territory and with the overall Marketing Plan. The Marketing Plan shall establish goals for Detailing of the Product to Pediatricians and Detailing of the Oral Suspension to

26.


 

non-Pediatricians for each Detailing Year, including establishing the number and frequency of Details to be provided and the proportion of Details to be provided in first and second positions. In addition, the Marketing Plan for each Detailing Year shall also specify the proportion of Marketing and Sample Expense for efforts directed to Primary Care Physicians and other non-Pediatricians, on the one hand, to Marketing and Sample Expense for efforts directed to Pediatricians, on the other hand (the “Marketing Expense Ratio”), with the JMC allocating Forest’s Marketing and Sample Expense directed to Primary Care Physicians and other non-Pediatricians on a reasonable basis between the Tablet and the Oral Suspension so that such Marketing and Sample Expense related to the Oral Suspension may be used as the Non-Pediatrician Suspension Marketing and Sample Expense, and shall specify minimum marketing contributions to be made by Forest and Replidyne (if Replidyne has exercised the Pediatrician Promotion Option), respectively, based on the Marketing Expense Ratio. In the absence of objective evidence to the contrary, the Marketing Expense Ratio shall assume an equal per physician value of promotion to Pediatricians and non-Pediatricians. In addition, whether or not Replidyne has exercised the Pediatrician Promotion Option, the party performing promotional activities directed to Pediatricians will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to execute such activities and the diligence requirements of Section 2.3 of Schedule 5.5 shall apply to such promotional activities.
     5.4 Replidyne Commercial Activities for Target Specialists. Forest shall, through Forest Parent, engage Replidyne to perform all marketing and promotion-related activities for the Products directed to Target Specialists. Replidyne will promptly notify Forest at any time that it appears reasonably likely that Replidyne will not be able to substantially achieve required levels of Detailing over any significant period or in any significant area. Following any such notice, the parties will meet and confer in good faith to develop a plan to achieve such required levels of Detailing as promptly as practicable, including through the reallocation of Replidyne personnel, if practicable and without adversely affecting Replidyne’s Detailing efforts, and the utilization of Forest sales force personnel as reasonably required to achieve the required levels of Detailing. Following the development of such plan, Forest shall have the right to call on Target Specialists as provided by the plan, in which case the JMC will coordinate the efforts of each of Forest and Replidyne with respect to the Detailing of Product to Target Specialists by each party. In addition, if (a) Replidyne elects not to provide Details of the Product to certain Target Specialists (e.g., due to a particular geographical location), the Detail Reports indicate that Replidyne’s Detailing has not achieved material Detailing requirements to be performed by Replidyne as targeted by the Marketing Plan (as to number or position of Details) over a significant period or (b) the JMC determines, prior to a formal annual update to the Marketing Plan, that Detailing efforts to Target Physicians in addition to those in the then current Marketing Plan are appropriate and authorizes additional funds, if required (subject to the maximum funding set forth in Section 7.10(c)), to support such additional Detailing efforts to Target Physicians, the parties will meet and confer in the manner set forth above to develop a plan to address the provision of additional Details, which plan will be based on the considerations, and implemented by the parties, as provided above. In any such event requiring the utilization of Forest sales force personnel, the parties will cooperate to transition Detailing efforts to Replidyne as promptly as practicable in light of the need to assure a smooth transition of Detailing activities once Replidyne possesses adequate resources to provide Detailing efforts targeted by the Marketing Plan. During the Replidyne Specialist Promotion Period, Replidyne will use its Commercially

Reasonable Efforts to provide Detailing to Target Specialists in accordance with the Marketing Plan through the Replidyne Specialty Sales Force.
          (a) Organization of Replidyne Specialty Sales Force. The JMC will determine the number of Target Specialists to be on the call plan, call frequency and other matters necessary to determine the size of the Replidyne Specialty Sales Force. The JMC will also determine what ancillary personnel and activities, if any, are needed to enhance Target Specialist promotional efforts and which are to be: (i) provided by Replidyne at Replidyne’s cost; (ii) provided in-kind by Forest for Replidyne’s use; or (iii) provided by Replidyne but reimbursed by Forest. For purposes of determining the size and geographical distribution of the Replidyne Specialty Sales Force, the call plan will contemplate approximately [ *** ] Target Specialists and a call frequency of an average of [ *** ] Details per Detailing Year; provided that in any event, the Replidyne Specialty Sales Force will be comprised of at least fifty (50) sales representatives, each having a sales territory that allows such sales representative to call upon a reasonable number of Target Specialists within a reasonable geographic area (i.e., without overly-burdensome travel requirements). During the Pre-Launch Period, Replidyne shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to engage and organize the Replidyne Specialty Sales Force. The Replidyne Specialty Sales Force will be organized by Replidyne under the general recommendations and supervision of the JMC as to numbers and qualifications of sales representatives and field-based sales managerial personnel and the timing of hiring in light of the then-current Marketing Plan. Such sales representatives shall have qualification and experience at least comparable to Forest’s sales representatives and shall be entitled to incentive compensation with respect to the marketing of the Product on a basis not materially less favorable to the Product than provided by Forest to its sales representatives. During the Initial Period, the Replidyne Specialty Sales Force may be comprised of personnel provided by a contract sales organization; provided that at the end of the first [ *** ] of the Initial Period, the JMC shall determine whether:
               (i) the Replidyne Specialty Sales Force has delivered [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the Details set forth in the Marketing Plan for that time period;
               (ii) at least [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the Details performed by Replidyne Specialty Sales Force during that time period were delivered to Target Specialists on the call panel and with the frequency and Detail position established by the JMC; and
               (iii) the performance by the Replidyne Specialty Sales Force meets the metrics previously established by the JMC to be measured in an ImpactRX report obtained at the [ *** ] benchmark point.
     If the Replidyne Specialty Sales Force fails to meet the foregoing requirements, Replidyne will provide written notice to Forest within [ *** ] of such determination by the JMC, indicating whether Replidyne will (A) transition to a sales force comprised of personnel who are full-time employees of Replidyne and coordinate Detailing to Target Specialists together with Forest’s sales representatives pending the achievement of a full-time employee trained and qualified sales force or (B) terminate its promotional efforts with respect to Target Specialists, in each case over the course of the [ *** ] month period immediately following such notice.

          (b) Training Materials and Sessions. Forest shall provide Replidyne with training materials Forest provides to the Forest Sales Force, sufficient in quantity and quality to allow Replidyne to train the Replidyne Specialty Sales Force in Product-specific sales skills and to Detail the Product in a manner consistent with the Detailing performed by the Forest Sales Force. Replidyne will prepare or have prepared any supplementary training materials required for Detailing the Product to the Target Specialists, consistent with the applicable Marketing Plan. Forest will permit Replidyne sales representatives to participate in training sessions of the Forest Sales Force in Product-specific sales skills with respect to the Product and the indications for the Product and will provide reasonable advance notice to Replidyne of scheduled training events. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties intend that the Replidyne Specialty Sales Force will participate in the initial Product launch and subsequent sales force meetings to the extent related to the Product.
          (c) Promotional Materials. Forest shall provide Replidyne with sales and promotional materials reasonably sufficient to permit Replidyne to perform Detailing calls in a manner consistent with the Detailing calls performed by the Forest Sales Force. Replidyne will create or have created on its behalf such additional sales and promotional materials intended to be specific to the Target Specialist audience as called for under, and consistent with, the Marketing Plan. The project managers of each party will share with one another any such materials, and no such materials may be utilized until completion of Forest’s regulatory and compliance review.
          (d) Sampling. Forest shall provide Replidyne with Product samples reasonably sufficient to permit Replidyne to perform Detailing calls in accordance with the Marketing Plan. Replidyne shall be responsible for accounting for sample distribution by the Replidyne Specialty Sales Force and shall maintain all records with respect to sample distribution as required by applicable laws and regulations. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each month, Replidyne shall provide to Forest a written report summarizing samples distributed by the Replidyne Specialty Sales Force for such calendar month. In addition, Replidyne shall ensure, through appropriate routine monitoring and auditing standards which conform with current good industry practices, that sampling of the Product is carried out by Replidyne in a manner which is in compliance with all Applicable Laws. Replidyne shall immediately advise Forest of its discovery of any act or omission of Replidyne regarding sample distribution that could violate or require reporting under applicable law. Forest shall be solely responsible for the filing of any necessary reports to FDA in connection with sampling. Within thirty (30) days after the expiration or termination of the Replidyne Specialist Promotion Period, Replidyne shall return, or otherwise dispose of in accordance with written instructions from Forest, all remaining samples and will provide Forest with a certified statement that all remaining samples have been returned or otherwise properly disposed of in accordance with Forest’s instructions and that Replidyne is no longer in possession or control of any samples in any form or fashion.
          (e) Funding. Forest will reimburse Replidyne for the Sales Force Expense and Marketing and Sampling Expense incurred by Replidyne in the performance of the activities to be conducted by the Replidyne Specialty Sales Force and ancillary personnel of Replidyne in accordance with the Marketing Plan, as provided in Section 7.10. If Replidyne engages a contract sales organization rather than hiring its own employees for purposes of forming the

Replidyne Specialty Sales Force, [ *** ]. Replidyne shall not be obligated to incur expenses for any marketing or promotional activities directed at Target Specialists, other than those expenses that are Sales Force Expense and Marketing and Sampling Expense to be reimbursed by Forest, unless Replidyne elects in its sole discretion to do so, provided that, unless Replidyne elects to cease promotional activities to Target Specialists and to transition such activities to Forest within a six-month period, Replidyne shall be responsible for the ancillary costs of the Replidyne Specialty Sales Force which are not Sales Force Expense. If at any time during the Replidyne Specialist Promotion Period, the limits on Forest’s reimbursement of the Sales Force Expense and Marketing and Sampling Expense as set forth in Section 7.10 are such that Forest’s funding of the Replidyne activities directed to Target Specialists falls below the level sufficient to execute the Marketing Plan with respect to Target Specialists, except to the extent of the ancillary costs referred to in the preceding sentence, Replidyne shall not be obligated to supplement the funding to meet the goals of the Marketing Plan with respect to Target Specialists.
          (f) Additional Support. Forest will offer to Replidyne, free of charge, but at no additional out-of-pocket cost to Forest, reasonable access to Forest’s personnel and technology infrastructure as may be available to provide support for Replidyne’s marketing and promotion to Target Specialists (including without limitation, External Scientific Affairs and trainers, information technology support personnel and personnel responsible for accounting for sample distribution, database access, and access to Forest sample ordering systems).
          (g) Extension; Termination. The Replidyne Specialist Promotion Period shall be subject to renewal or extension by the written agreement of the parties. Replidyne reserves the right to terminate its promotional efforts under Section 5.4 at any time during the Replidyne Specialist Promotion Period, effective upon twelve (12) months written notice to Forest. If Replidyne exercises the foregoing right, Replidyne shall provide such transition activities as and for such period as Forest may reasonably request, including, without limitation, arranging for meetings between members of the Replidyne Specialty Sales Force and sales representatives of Forest, to assure a smooth transition of marketing to Target Specialists, subject to Forest’s payment of Sales Force Expense and Marketing and Sample Expense incurred by Replidyne with respect to such transition activities during any such transition period.
          (h) Forest Termination Right. If Forest ceases the promotion, sale or distribution of the Product in the Territory under the circumstances permitted under this Agreement, then upon written notice to Replidyne, Forest may terminate the Replidyne Specialist Promotion Period, effective within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances underlying any such cessation by Forest. In addition, Forest reserves the right to terminate the Replidyne Specialist Promotion Period, effective upon [ *** ] written notice to Replidyne in the event that the Detail Reports for at least [ *** ] indicate that Replidyne’s Detailing has not achieved at least [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the Detailing to be performed by Replidyne as targeted by the Marketing Plan (as to number or position of Details) for each such Calendar Quarter or upon the failure by Replidyne to achieve at least [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the Detailing to be performed by Replidyne as targeted by the Marketing Plan (as to numbers or portions of Details) in the aggregate over a period of [ *** ], unless in either case, during such [ *** ] period Replidyne develops and implements a program of increased Detailing which provides, to Forest’s reasonable satisfaction, assurance that Detail shortfalls will not again occur.

Failure of Replidyne to meet the number of Details required under the Marketing Plan with respect to promotion efforts directed to Target Specialists shall not be deemed a material breach under this Agreement and, notwithstanding Section 12.8, shall not entitle Forest to claim any damages, compensation or relief except as provided in this Section 5.4(h) and Section 7.10(c)(ii).
     5.5 Pediatrician Promotion Option. Forest hereby grants to Replidyne an exclusive option (the “Pediatrician Promotion Option”) to promote the Products on an exclusive basis to Pediatricians in the Territory through the Replidyne Pediatrician Sales Force (the “Pediatrician Promotion Rights”), exercisable by written notice to Forest at any time before the date that is six (6) months prior to the projected date determined by the JDC for the submission of the first NDA for an Oral Suspension. If Replidyne exercises the Pediatrician Promotion Option, the terms and conditions of Schedule 5.5 shall apply with respect to the launch, promotion, marketing, sampling and sale of Products in the Field in the Territory to Pediatricians and shall take precedence over any provision of this Agreement to the contrary to the extent applicable to the launch, promotion, marketing, sampling and sale of the Product to Pediatricians in the Field in the Territory.
     5.6 Product Management; Distribution; Returns.
          (a) Forest shall have sole responsibility for the distribution, sale and invoicing of the Product in the Field in the Territory. All orders for the Product in the Field in the Territory shall be subject to acceptance by Forest. Forest shall have sole discretion to make pricing and discounting decisions with respect to the Product, provided that material pricing and discount strategies will be reviewed and discussed by the JMC.
          (b) Forest will have the exclusive right and responsibility at its cost to (i) receive and fill order for the Product in the Territory, (ii) warehouse and distribute the Product in the Territory, (iii) control invoicing, order processing and collection of accounts receivable for the Product in the Territory, and (iv) engage in all other activities relating to the ordering and distribution of the Product in the Territory.

          (b) Replidyne shall refer all Product complaints (e.g., tampering, contamination, mix-up, discoloration, incorrect quantities) in the Territory to Forest promptly after notice thereof (but in any event within one (1) business day). Product complaints shall be handled by Forest in the ordinary course of its business and, subject only to Replidyne’s right to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, Replidyne shall not otherwise handle any such Product complaints in the Territory.
          (c) If Replidyne has exercised the Pediatrician Promotion Right, Forest shall consult with Replidyne regarding standardized responses to medical inquiries and product complaints involving the Oral Suspension (as may be updated from time to time), and shall give good faith consideration to any comments provided by Replidyne with respect thereto. On a periodic basis, Forest will provide Replidyne with copies of product technical complaints regarding the Oral Suspension and the results of Forest’s investigations of such complaints.
     5.8 Compliance with Law.
          (a) Each party shall comply in all material respects with Applicable Laws with respect to its obligations under this Article 5 and shall maintain all licenses, permits, approvals and other authorizations applicable to it in order to enable it to perform its obligations under this Article 5. Forest shall adopt and maintain compliance standards consistent with guidelines announced by the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services, the American Medical Association and other recognized medical or pharmaceutical organizations. With respect to its marketing and promotion-related activities for the Products directed to Target Specialists, Replidyne shall comply with Forest’s compliance standards. Forest will periodically inform Replidyne of such compliance standards and issues may be submitted to the JMC for resolution by Forest’s compliance function.
          (b) Forest shall be responsible for accounting for sample distribution by the Forest Sales Force and shall maintain all records with respect to sample distribution as required by applicable laws and regulations. In addition, Forest shall ensure, through appropriate routine monitoring and auditing standards which conform with current good industry practices, that sampling of the Product is carried out by Forest and its Affiliates in a manner which is in compliance with all Applicable Laws. Forest shall immediately advise Replidyne of its discovery of any act or omission of Forest with respect to Products that could violate or require reporting under applicable law.

and all interactions with regulatory authorities regarding the commercialization of Product. The parties acknowledge that parallel imports of the Product from Canada into the Territory at a substantially lower price than Product is sold in the Territory could have a detrimental effect on the marketplace in the Territory. Accordingly, Replidyne shall not: (i) sublicense rights to commercialize the Product in Canada; or (ii) itself implement a launch plan for the Product in Canada, in each case without first conferring with Forest regarding Replidyne’s or its sublicensee’s plans for mitigating the negative impact of parallel imports of Product into the Territory. Forest’s approval of such sublicense or launch plan shall be required, which approval may be withheld only if Forest can reasonably demonstrate that the plans to mitigate parallel imports of the Product (or corresponding generic equivalents) from Canada into the Territory are inadequate for that purpose.
          (b) In the event that Replidyne proposes to sublicense rights to commercialize the Product in the Field in Canada (the “Canadian Rights”) to any Third Party, Replidyne shall first provide Forest with written notice thereof and hereby grants Forest the first right of negotiation with respect to the Canadian Rights in accordance with this Section 5.9(b). Forest shall within [ *** ] days after receipt of such notice notify Replidyne in writing either that (i) Forest is interested in negotiating for the Canadian Rights; or (ii) Forest is not interested in negotiating the Canadian Rights and therefore waives the right of first negotiation with respect to the Canadian Rights. If Forest notifies Replidyne in writing within [ *** ] days that Forest is interested in negotiating for the Canadian Rights, the parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms of the Canadian Rights for up to [ *** ] days from such notification, it being understood that the financial terms for the Canadian Rights shall be based on the value of the market for the Product in Canada only (without valuing any expected sales into the United States market). Failure by Forest to give written notice of its interest or lack of interest in negotiating for the Canadian Rights within [ *** ] days after receipt of written notice from Replidyne shall be deemed a waiver by Forest of its first right of negotiation with respect to the Canadian Rights. If Forest waives or otherwise fails to exercise its first right of first negotiation with respect the Canadian Rights, or if the parties fail to agree to the terms of the grant of the Canadian Rights to Forest within such [ *** ] day negotiation period, then Replidyne shall be free to grant the Canadian Rights to any Third Party and Forest shall have no further rights with respect to the Canadian Rights, except as provided in Section 5.9(a), and except that Replidyne shall not grant the Canadian Rights to any Third Party on terms which are less favorable to Replidyne than those last offered to Replidyne by Forest without first offering the Canadian Rights to Forest on such terms for a period of at least [ *** ] days. If Forest notifies Replidyne in writing within such [ *** ] day period that Forest accepts such terms, the parties shall enter into an agreement on such terms within thirty (30) days after such notice from Forest. If Forest does not notify Replidyne in writing within such sixty (60) day period that Forest accepts such terms, then Replidyne shall be free, subject only to the requirements of Section 5.9(a) (which shall be addressed, if possible, during the period of negotiation under this Section 5.9(b)), to grant the Canadian Rights to any Third Party on such terms, and Forest shall have no further rights with respect to the Canadian Rights.
     5.10 Competitive Products. The parties agree that (i) from the Effective Date until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date, neither party shall, directly or indirectly, itself or through one or more Affiliates or Third Parties, conduct or cause to be conducted clinical

development of a Competitive Product (including, without limitation, under any collaboration, license or similar agreement), and (ii) from the Effective Date until the fourth (4th) anniversary of the First Commercial Sale, both parties agree that they shall not, directly or indirectly, itself or through one or more Affiliates or Third Parties, market or sell any Competitive Product in the Field in the Territory. For purposes of this Section 5.10, “Competitive Product” means exclusively any product, other than a Product, that is [ *** ] an antibiotic having [ *** ] and directed to [ *** ]. The foregoing restriction shall not prevent either party from marketing or selling a [ *** ] antibiotic for [ *** ]. If, after the fourth (4th) anniversary of the First Commercial Sale, either party proposes to market or sell a Competitive Product in the Territory, (a) such party must first consult with the other party and provide reasonable assurances that such activities will not impair promotion and sale efforts for the Product in the Territory, and (b) subject to subsection (a), such party may market and sell a Competitive Product in the Territory; provided that such activities do not in fact impair promotion and sales efforts with respect to Product in the Territory. At either party’s request, the other party will provide documentation and other objective evidence to substantiate that the marketing and sale of such Competitive Product will not impair promotion and sales efforts for the Product. Further, at either party’s request, Forest and Replidyne will meet to discuss such matters, and Forest agrees that DAP shall be permitted to attend such meeting. If either party proposes to market or sell [ *** ] antibiotic in the Territory prior to the fourth (4th) anniversary of the First Commercial Sale, it must first consult with the other party and provide reasonable assurances that such activities will not impair promotion and sale efforts for the Product in the Territory. Subject to the preceding sentence, either party may market and sell [ *** ] antibiotic in the Territory prior to the fourth (4th) anniversary of the First Commercial Sale; provided that such activities do not in fact impair promotion and sales efforts with respect to Product in the Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party shall not be deemed in breach of subsection (i) of this Section 5.10 if such party is subject to a Change in Control and promptly following such Change in Control implements firewall mechanisms which assure to the reasonable satisfaction of the other party that investment, clinical development efforts and subsequent sales and promotion efforts with respect to the Product will not be adversely affected by such Change in Control, and a party shall not be deemed in breach of subsection (ii) of this Section 5.10 if it acquires a Competitive Product through a merger or acquisition by or of a Third Party and the surviving entity (x) does not (or promptly ceases to) promote the Competitive Product actively, (y) promptly announces its intention to divest such Competitive Product and thereafter completes such divestment within [ *** ] months, or (z) promptly implements firewall mechanisms (including separate sales forces and marketing management) which assure to the reasonable satisfaction of the other party that sales and promotional efforts with respect to the Product will not be adversely affected by such merger or acquisition.
     5.11 Phase IV and Publication Strategy. Neither party will undertake, or permit its Affiliates or (sub)licensees to undertake, whether within or outside the Territory, any pre-clinical or clinical marketing studies of the Product, including, without limitation, Phase IV marketing studies, but excluding any studies required for registration or imposed by regulatory authority in a country within a party’s territory, without consultation with, and approval of, the JMC (which shall consult with appropriate development personnel of the parties for this purpose). Forest agrees that it shall be subject to the same requirement of consultation with, and approval of, Replidyne, DAP or their (sub)licensees outside the Territory, with regard to marketing studies of

     The parties will also coordinate worldwide publication strategy and activities related to scientific conferences inside and outside the Territory, including through delegation to appropriate working groups of the parties. Each party shall be afforded the opportunity to review and approve any scientific paper or presentation with respect to the Product proposed for publication, presentation or distribution by the other party or its Affiliates and shall have no more than ten (10) days to complete such review and approval. The party proposing publication or presentation shall not unreasonably reject comments furnished by the other party, will comply with the other party’s request to delete references to the its Confidential Information in any such publication or presentation and will delay publication for such reasonable period requested by the other party to permit the filing of patent applications concerning any Licensed Technology, Forest Technology or Joint Inventions disclosed in material proposed for such publication or presentation. In no event will Confidential Information of a party be published without the consent of such party.
     The parties will coordinate the disclosure of the initiation and results of clinical studies performed pursuant to the Development Plan to the extent required by law or best industry practices; provided that all proposed disclosures and publications will be submitted for expeditious review by the JDC and due regard will be given to the comments of each party, the maintenance of confidentiality of Confidential Information of each party and allowing time for intellectual property registrations as provided under Article 9. Nothing set forth herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict either party from disclosing the results of clinical trials (whether performed by the parties or by Third Parties) to the extent required by law or best industry practices. The parties intend that the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall apply to the parties and their respective Affiliates and (sub)licensees, as well as DAP and its licensees.
     5.12 Adverse Events. For purposes of this Section, adverse drug experiences (“ADEs”) shall mean any adverse medical occurrence in a patient to whom the Product has been administered and which does not necessarily have a casual relationship with the treatment (as defined by 21 C.F.R. 312.32, 314.80 and any other applicable definitions in regulations promulgated by the FDA or ICH) which are required to be reported to the FDA or to international regulatory agencies. The parties will cooperate to develop, as promptly as possible (and in any event within six (6) months following the Effective Date), an ADE information exchange protocol to provide each party with such information as it may require to comply with legal and regulatory ADE reporting standards. Pending finalization of such protocol, each of the parties hereto shall disclose to the other party all safety reports and other information which they may from time to time receive or obtain whether from sources within or without the Territory with respect to any adverse experiences with respect to the Product. Specifically, all serious adverse events and reactions occurring in a patient to whom the Product has been administered, whether believed due to the Product or not, will be transmitted to the other party as promptly as possible and in any event within ten (10) calendar days of first knowledge of the event/reaction, except for deaths which will be transmitted within five (5) calendar days. All aggregate reports of ADEs (i.e., IND annual reports, NDA periodic reports, PSURs etc.) submitted to a Regulatory Authority will be transmitted to the other party within five (5) calendar days of transmission to the Regulatory Authority. All questions from and responses to a health authority regarding ADEs will be transmitted to the other party within five (5) days of receipt/transmission. Each

     5.13 Recalls or Other Corrective Actions. If the FDA issues or requests a recall or takes similar action in connection with the Product or in the event either party determines that an event, incident or circumstance has occurred that may result in the need for a recall or market withdrawal of the Product in the Territory, the party notified of or desiring such recall or similar action shall, within twenty-four (24) hours, advise the other party thereof by telephone (and confirmed by email or facsimile), email or facsimile. Forest shall have sole responsibility and shall make all decisions with respect to any recall, market withdrawals or any other corrective action related to the Product in the Territory, including the right to cease all sales of Product in the Territory or the promotion and Detailing of the Product in the Territory. At Forest’s request, Replidyne shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assist Forest in conducting such recall, market withdrawal or other corrective action with respect to Target Specialists, and any documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by Replidyne with respect to participating in such recall, market withdrawal or other corrective action shall be reimbursed by Forest as Sales Force Expense hereunder.
     5.14 Product Liability. In connection with the commercialization of the Products, Forest will be responsible for any liability for personal injury or property damage arising in connection with use of the Product; provided, however, that in any event each party shall be responsible for, and hereby assumes, any and all risks of personal injury or property damage to the extent attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of that party or its Affiliates or licensees (excluding, in the case of Replidyne, Forest and its Affiliates and sublicensees), and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents.
6. Supply Matters
     6.1 Joint Supply Committee. Promptly after the Effective Date, the parties will form a Joint Supply Committee (the “JSC”) comprised of two (2) representatives of each of Forest and Replidyne, which shall oversee manufacturing activities for the Drug Substance and Product for use in the Territory during the Supply Transition. The JSC shall meet at least four (4) times per year during the Supply Transition or at such greater frequency as the JSC agrees. Such meetings may be conducted by videoconference, teleconference or in person, as agreed by the parties, and the parties shall agree upon the time of meetings.

          (b) With respect to the supply contract with Tropon GmbH existing as of the Effective Date for the manufacture and packaging of Tablets, Replidyne shall be responsible for the maintenance and qualification fees incurred under such agreement for any period ending prior to December 31, 2005. With respect to any credits accrued by Replidyne under such agreement prior to that date, Forest will apply such credits at the first opportunity and thereafter promptly reimburse Replidyne for such credited amounts (other than credits accrued with respect to payments made under Section 3.3 of the Tropon/Replidyne supply contract as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date, for which Forest will reimburse Replidyne only if Forest either is not required to produce additional registration batches of Tablets or is able to use for commercial distribution any such additional registration batches of Tablets produced for Forest).

Forest will bear the risk and have the benefit of currency fluctuations applied to Drug Substance and Product purchases in foreign currencies. Following the Effective Date, Replidyne shall not incur FTE costs for the account of Forest with respect to Replidyne personnel participating in activities related to the manufacture, packaging and distribution of Drug Substance, without prior mutual agreement of the parties to a plan for such activities.

Supply Agreement and existing supply contracts for manufacture and packaging of the Product in the Territory (or enters into a separate agreement with the parties to such agreements providing for supply of Drug Substance and for manufacture and packaging of the Product in the Territory), Replidyne will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to make available to Forest the benefits available to Replidyne under such agreements. In particular, if Replidyne is granted a license pursuant to Section 8.2 of the API Supply Agreement (thus triggering the grant of manufacturing rights under the DAP Agreement), Replidyne grants to Forest or its Third Party manufacturing designee during the Term, a non-exclusive worldwide license to manufacture the Drug Substance, under all patents, know-how and other intellectual property rights, including, without limitation, the Manufacturing Technology and the patents and patent applications listed in Attachment 8.2 of the API Supply Agreement and all foreign counterparts thereof and any intellectual property rights pertaining to the manufacture of Drug Substance under the DAP Agreement, that are Controlled by NISSO and/or DAP, to (i) research, develop, make, have made and use Drug Substance and Products anywhere in the world, and (ii) promote, offer to sell, sell, have sold and otherwise commercialize the Drug Substance and Products in the Territory. Such license shall be royalty free except to the extent of any amounts due to NISSO and DAP pursuant to the API Supply Agreement in connection therewith. In addition, unless and until Forest becomes an assignee of the API Supply Agreement and existing supply contracts for manufacture and packaging of the Product in the Territory (or enters into separate agreements relating to such matters), to the extent necessary to preserve Forest’s economic interest as provided in this Agreement, Replidyne shall (i) perform its obligations under such agreements in accordance with their terms, (ii) [ *** ].
     6.6 Manufacturing Transfer Compensation. After the initial NDA filing for the Product, if Forest transfers responsibility for manufacturing Drug Substance to a Third Party manufacturer in accordance with the API Supply Agreement, then, provided that NISSO and DAP are then in full compliance with the API Supply Agreement, [ *** ].
     6.7 Supply Chain Management. Replidyne will retain responsibility for supply chain management with respect to its requirements of Drug Substance and the Product outside of the Territory; provided however, that the parties will work together in good faith to establish and coordinate a mutually acceptable global supply chain (including, without limitation, the coordination of forecasts and orders) for the manufacture of Drug Substance and Product.

     7.10 Reimbursement of Replidyne Target Specialist Commercial Activities.
          (a) Reimbursement of Pre-Launch Period Sales Force Expense. Forest agrees to reimburse Sales Force Expense incurred by Replidyne during the Pre-Launch Period in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of [ *** ] dollars ($[ *** ]). Replidyne shall provide a statement to Forest within thirty (30) days of the end of each Calendar Quarter during the Pre-Launch Period setting forth the Sales Force Expense incurred for the preceding Calendar Quarter and identifying the components thereof in such detail as determined by the JMC. Subject to the maximum limitation set forth above, Forest will provide reimbursement of the Sales Force Expense reflected in the statement for each such Calendar Quarter within thirty (30) days of the receipt thereof by Forest.
          (b) Reimbursement of Marketing and Sample Expense. In consideration for the marketing and promotional activities directed to Target Specialists to be provided by Replidyne hereunder, Forest shall reimburse Replidyne for all actual Marketing and Sample Expense incurred by Replidyne during each Detailing Year of the Replidyne Specialist Promotion Period, not to exceed the amount of Marketing and Sample Expense to be incurred by Replidyne as budgeted under the Marketing Plan for the applicable Detailing Year unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties; provided that, if the Marketing and Sample Expense that Replidyne would have to incur to achieve the objectives set forth in the Marketing Plan exceeds the amount of the Marketing and Sample Expense to be incurred by Replidyne as budgeted under the Marketing Plan (unless Forest agrees to reimburse such amount to Replidyne and adjust the Marketing Plan accordingly), Replidyne shall not be obligated to incur such amount of Marketing and Sample Expense in excess of the amount budgeted under the Marketing Plan, unless it decides to do so in its sole discretion, and, if it does not incur such excess Marketing and Sample Expense, Replidyne shall not be responsible to the extent that it does not achieve the objectives set forth in the Marketing Plan. Replidyne shall provide a statement to Forest within thirty (30) days of the end of each Calendar Quarter during the Replidyne Specialist Promotion Period setting forth the Marketing and Sample Expense incurred for the preceding Calendar Quarter and identifying the components thereof in such detail as determined by the JMC. Forest will provide reimbursement of the Marketing and Sample Expense reflected in each statement for such Calendar Quarter within thirty (30) days of the receipt thereof by Forest.
          (c) Reimbursement of Sales Force Expense. In consideration for the Details to be provided by Replidyne to Target Specialists hereunder, Forest shall reimburse Replidyne for Sales Force Expense in accordance with the following:
               (i) With respect to the Initial Period, Forest shall reimburse one hundred percent (100%) of Sales Force Expense up to an aggregate maximum per Detailing Year equal to [ *** ] dollars ($[ *** ]) and with the expectation that such amount will be sufficient, at a minimum, to support Detailing by the Replidyne Specialty Sales Force to approximately [ *** ] Target Specialists at an average frequency of [ *** ] Details per Detailing Year. Reimbursement shall be made on a Calendar Quarter basis against receipt of statements from Replidyne on the same basis provided in Section 7.10(a) above, together with a Detail Report. With respect to each Detailing Year during the remainder of the Replidyne Specialist Promotion Period following the Initial Period, Forest shall reimburse Sales Force Expense as follows:
 
[ *** ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended.

42.


 

                    (1) [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of Sales Force Expense shall be multiplied by the percentage of first position Details to total Details required to be provided by Forest pursuant to the Marketing Plan with respect to Forest’s own Detailing of the Product; and
                    (2) [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of Sales Force Expense shall be multiplied by the percentage of second position Details to total Details required to be provided by Forest pursuant to the Marketing Plan with respect to Forest’s own Detailing of the Product,
     subject to an aggregate maximum per Detailing Year equal to [ *** ] dollars ($[ *** ]) as proportionately reduced to reflect the change in Forest’s reimbursement of Sales Force Expense from one hundred percent (100%) of Sales Force Expense in the Initial Period to a percentage of Sales Force Expense based on the application of the foregoing Detail weighting scheme after the Initial Period (subject to further adjustment pursuant to Section 7.10(d)(ii)).
     The total of the amounts so determined shall be the amount of Sales Force Expense to be reimbursed by Forest (i.e., for example, if the Marketing Plan for a Detailing Year requires that fifty percent (50%) of Forest’s Details be in first position, Forest shall reimburse a total of fifty percent (50%) of Sales Force Expense (consisting of the sum of [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) x fifty percent (50%) (reflecting Forest’s first position obligation) and [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) x fifty percent (50%) (reflecting Forest’s second position obligation)). Reimbursement shall be made on a Calendar Quarter basis against receipt of statements and Detail Reports from Replidyne in the same manner as provided above.
               (ii) In the event that Detailing actually provided by Replidyne for a given Detailing Year did not achieve at least [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the Detailing targeted by the Marketing Plan (as to number of weighted Details, with Details at second position weighted at fifty percent (50%) of a first position Detail), Forest may credit an amount determined within sixty (60) days of the end of such Detailing Year against the reimbursement of Sales Force Expense in the next Detailing Year (which may, to the extent the amount of such credit exceeds Sales Force Expense in such next Detailing Year, be carried forward and applied in a subsequent Detailing Year or applied to reduce royalties if no further Sales Force Expense remains payable by Forest). The amount of such credit shall be equal to (A) the amount by which the Detailing actually provided by Replidyne as a percentage of the Detailing to be provided by Replidyne as targeted by the Marketing Plan for the applicable Detailing Year is less than one hundred percent (100%), multiplied by (B) the actual Sales Force Expense reimbursed by Forest for such Detailing Year.
          (d) Additional Adjustments. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.10(c), the reimbursement of Sales Force Expense is subject to the following:
               (i) In the event that, during the Initial Period or thereafter, the Replidyne Specialty Sales Force commences the detailing of pharmaceutical products other than the Product, the parties shall negotiate in good faith as to a reduction in the percentage of Sales Force Expense subject to reimbursement by Forest taking into account the percentage of Replidyne Specialty Sales Force detailing activity proposed to be devoted to such new product.
               (ii) Within sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Initial

Period, the JMC will evaluate the productivity of Detailing to Target Specialists in terms of prescriptions and sales generated through such efforts (based upon IMS Xponent data or other mutually-agreed generally recognized prescription data source). In the event that the JMC recommends a significantly reduced level of Details to Target Specialists, Forest reserves the right to reduce the total Sales Force Expense subject to reimbursement in accordance with the terms hereof in proportion to the reduction in Detailing to Target Specialists for the immediately preceding Detailing Year as so recommended by the JMC, with a commensurate reduction in the aggregate maximum amount of Sales Force Expense subject to reimbursement in such Detailing Year as provided in Section 7.10(c)(i). Replidyne shall only be obligated to perform the number of Details to Target Specialists corresponding to the recommendation of the JMC.
8. Payment; Records; Audits
     8.1 Payment; Reports. Royalty Payments shall be calculated and reported for each Calendar Quarter.

          (c) Replidyne shall maintain accurate records relating to its promotion obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, records relating to the performance of Details by Replidyne (including records of physicians called on, frequency of calls and other data which underlies the Detail Reports required by Section 7.10(c)(i)), and records supporting the determination of Sales Force Expense and Marketing and Sample Expense) which records shall be kept available for three (3) years following the Detailing Year to which such records relate unless a longer period is otherwise required by Applicable Laws.
     8.5 Audits. At the request of either party, the other party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, permit the requesting party to cause an independent auditor or other representative, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, to examine the books and records maintained pursuant to Section 8.4. Such examinations may not: (a) be conducted for any Calendar Quarter ended more than three (3) years prior to the date that such request is made; (b) be conducted more than once in any twelve (12) month period or (c) be repeated for any Calendar Quarter; provided, however, that audits may be conducted more frequently or for such periods as may be reasonable in the event a party has good cause, based upon objective evidence, to perform such additional audits. Except as provided below, the cost of this examination shall be borne by the party that requested the examination, unless the audit reveals a variance of more than five percent (5%) from the reported amounts covering a period of at least twelve (12) months, in which case the audited party shall bear the cost of the audit. If such audit concludes that additional payments were owed or that excess payments were made during such period, the paying party shall pay the additional payments or the receiving party shall reimburse such excess payments, within sixty (60) days after the date on which such written audit report is delivered to the parties.
     8.6 Late Payments.

In addition, interest shall not accrue as to the portion of any payment which is being disputed diligently and in good faith until from and after an amount is awarded by arbitration in accordance with Article 14 hereof, unless the Arbitrators elect to award interest in light of the circumstances. The payment of such interest shall not limit a party from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.

Irrespective of which party brings and controls any such action or proceeding, [ *** ]. If the party that brings such action or proceeding finds it legally necessary to join DAP as a party to such action or proceeding, Replidyne will exercise its rights under the DAP Agreement (including the Letter Agreement) to cause DAP to be joined as a party plaintiff to any such action or proceeding or will permit by Forest to enforce Replidyne’s rights under the DAP Agreement to do so. Forest acknowledges that, if neither Forest nor Replidyne commences an infringement suit or action or settlement negotiations with the alleged infringer within [ *** ] days after (A) Replidyne receives notification from DAP of any such infringement or (B) Replidyne sends notice to DAP of such action, as applicable, DAP may bring an appropriate suit or action against the Third Party infringer.
          (c) Cooperation. In the event a party brings an infringement action in accordance with this Section 9.4, the other party shall cooperate fully, including, if required to bring such action, the furnishing of a power of attorney or being named as a party. Neither party

Each party shall promptly notify the other in writing of any allegation by a Third Party that the activity of either of the parties pursuant to this Agreement infringes or may infringe the intellectual property rights of such Third Party. Forest shall have the sole right, subject to the following provisions of this Section, to control the defense of any such claim involving alleged infringement of Third Party rights by the sale of the Product, [ *** ] by counsel of its own choice, and Replidyne shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. Forest will keep Replidyne fully informed of the status of and developments with respect to any such action and will consult with Replidyne as to strategic decisions with respect thereto. The parties shall cooperate in the defense of any such claim, [ *** ]. Neither party shall have the right to settle any patent infringement litigation under this Section 9.5 in a manner that diminishes the rights or interests of the other party without the written consent of such other party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).
     9.6 Privileged Communications. In furtherance of this Agreement, it is expected that Forest and Replidyne will, from time to time, disclose to one another privileged communications with counsel, including opinions, memoranda, letters and other written, electronic and verbal communications.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a party is required to make a disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section 11.3(c) or (d), it will, except where impracticable, give reasonable advance notice to the other party of such disclosure and use efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information at least as diligent as such party would use to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable efforts. In any event, the parties agree to take all reasonable action to avoid disclosure of Confidential Information hereunder. The parties will consult with each other on the provisions of this Agreement to be redacted in any filings made by the parties with the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise required by law.
     11.4 Publicity. It is understood that the parties intend to issue a joint press release announcing the execution of this Agreement and agree that each party may desire or be required to issue subsequent press releases relating to this Agreement or activities performed hereunder. The parties agree to consult with each other reasonably and in good faith with respect to the text and timing of such press releases prior to the issuance thereof; provided that a party may not unreasonably withhold consent to such releases, and that either party may issue such press releases as it determines, based on advice of counsel, are reasonably necessary to comply with laws or regulations or for appropriate market disclosure. In addition, following the initial joint press release announcing this Agreement, either party shall be free to disclose, without the other party’s prior written consent, the existence of this Agreement, the identity of the other party and those terms of the Agreement which have already been publicly disclosed in accordance herewith.

     12.1 Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and

continue until the expiration of the last Royalty Term for any Product with respect to which Forest has a license, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the further provisions hereof (the “Term”).
     12.2 Forest Right of Termination. Forest reserves the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety at any time effective upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to Replidyne in the event Forest reasonably believes issues of safety or efficacy (which arise or become more significant following the Effective Date) are reasonably likely to (a) prevent regulatory approval of the Product in the United States, (b) materially delay such approval or (c) substantially negatively impact the marketing potential of the Product in the United States, in each case without regard to the particular circumstances of Forest, including any other product opportunities of Forest. Prior to any notice of termination under this Section 12.2, the parties will discuss such issues for a period of up to thirty (30) days, which discussions shall include a face-to-face meeting of the Chief Executive Officer of Replidyne and the Chief Executive Officer of Forest Parent if requested by either party. Forest shall have no obligation to develop, promote or sell the Product during either such 30-day discussion period or 90-day notice period, if Forest’s intent to terminate is based upon safety issues. Forest shall have no obligation to pay to Replidyne any milestone payment under Section 7.2 with respect to a milestone event achieved during such discussion period or notice period; provided that Forest actually terminates the Agreement effective at the end of the 90-day notice period.
     12.3 Termination for Material Breach.
          (a) Material Breach. Subject to Section 12.3(b), each party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and its obligations hereunder for material breach by the other party, which breach remains uncured for sixty (60) days (ten (10) days in the event of failure to make any payment when due), after written notice is provided to the breaching party specifying the nature of the breach in reasonable detail and demanding its cure. In the case of a non-payment related material breach, if such breach cannot be cured within the sixty (60) day cure period, this Agreement shall not terminate if the breaching party has made diligent efforts to cure such breach within the sixty (60) day period and this Agreement shall remain in effect for such period after notice of breach as may be reasonable in the circumstances as long as the breaching party continues to use diligent efforts to pursue the cure with a reasonable expectation that cure will be effected as promptly as practicable thereafter. As an alternative to termination of this Agreement in its entirety, in the case of any uncured material breach by Replidyne (other than a breach as described in Section 12.3(b)), Forest may terminate the Replidyne Specialist Promotion Period and the Pediatrician Promotion Rights, together with other operational rights, as more fully described, and with consequences set forth, in Section 12.5(e). In the event the parties in good faith dispute the existence of a material breach or a party’s diligence in attempting to cure a material breach, termination of this Agreement shall not be deemed to occur unless and until such dispute has been referred for resolution in accordance with Section 14 hereof, material breach of the Agreement or failure to make diligent efforts to cure such breach has been established by an arbitration thereunder and, if such breach can be cured by the payment of money or the taking of specific remedial actions, the breaching party does not pay the amount so determined to be due within ten (10) days of receipt of the arbitration decision or otherwise diligently undertake and complete such remedial actions within the timeframe established by such arbitration decision.

In the event of an uncured material breach by Replidyne of this Agreement with respect to the conduct of Replidyne’s promotion efforts directed to Target Specialists (other than as provided in Section 5.4(h)) or Replidyne’s performance of the Pediatrician Promotion Rights (other than as provided in Section 2.4(g) of Schedule 5.5), after any dispute resolution in accordance with Article 14, the remedy of termination shall only be effective with respect to Replidyne’s continued performance of promotional efforts to Target Specialists as provided in Section 5.4 and the Pediatrician Promotion Rights as provided in Schedule 5.5, and all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.
     12.4 Termination for Insolvency. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice thereof if the other party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, is the subject of proceedings in voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy instituted on behalf of or against such party, or has a receiver or trustee appointed for all or substantially all of its property; provided that in the case of an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding such right to terminate shall only become effective if the party consents to the involuntary bankruptcy or such proceeding is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after the filing thereof.
     12.5 Rights following Expiration of Term or Termination.
          (a) Expiry of Term Under Section 12.1.

          (b) Termination of this Agreement by Forest Under Section 12.2 or Replidyne Under Section 12.3(a) or 12.4.

Such activities shall be performed under the terms of this Agreement. However, if this results in a net loss to Forest over the period from the 91st day to the end of the six (6) month transition period (i.e., income attributable to such period less costs for such period), then Replidyne shall reimburse Forest to the extent of such net loss, subject to receipt of supporting documentation. In addition,
                         (i) all rights under the licenses granted under Sections 2.1, 2.3 and 6.5 shall automatically terminate and revert to the granting party;

          (c) Termination of this Agreement by Forest under Section 12.3(a) or Section 12.4. Upon any termination of this Agreement by Forest pursuant to Section 12.3(a) or 12.4,

In the event the two Chief Executive Officers are unable to resolve such dispute within (30) days of such dispute being referred to the officers, the dispute shall be subject to arbitration, as provided in Section 14.2. Notwithstanding the preceding, the parties acknowledge that the failure of the JMC, JDC, JSC or CGC to reach consensus as to any matter, which failure does not involve a breach by a party of its obligations hereunder, shall not be deemed a dispute which may be referred for resolution by arbitration hereunder.
     14.2 Arbitration.

common law protections from discrimination, harassment and hostile working environment), or concerning the interpretation, effect, termination, validity, performance and/or breach of this Agreement (“Claim”), shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration before a panel of three experts with relevant industry experience (the “Arbitrators”).

The decision or award rendered by the Arbitrators shall be final and non-appealable, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable law in the State of New York or Colorado, as applicable, or any other court of competent jurisdiction. The Arbitrators shall be authorized to award compensatory damages, but shall NOT be authorized (i) to award non-economic damages, such as for emotional distress, pain and suffering or loss of consortium, (ii) to award punitive damages, or (iii) to reform, modify or materially change this Agreement or any other agreements contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that the damage limitations described in parts (i) and (ii) of this sentence will not apply if such damages are statutorily imposed.
          (c) Costs. Each party shall bear its own attorney’s fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and the costs of the arbitrator selected by it, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the third arbitrator; provided, however, the Arbitrators shall be authorized to determine whether a party is the prevailing party, and if so, to award to that prevailing party reimbursement for its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges, travel expenses, etc.), and/or the fees and costs of the Administrator and the Arbitrators.
          (d) Compliance with this Agreement. Unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, during the period of time that any arbitration proceeding is pending under this Agreement, the parties shall continue to comply with all those terms and provisions of this Agreement that are not the subject of the pending arbitration proceeding.
          (e) Injunctive or Other Equity Relief. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall deny any party the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in the context of a bona fide emergency or prospective irreparable harm, and such an action may be filed and maintained notwithstanding any ongoing arbitration proceeding.

time that it appears reasonably likely that Replidyne will not be able to substantially achieve required levels of Detailing over any significant period or in any significant area. Following any such notice, the parties will meet and confer in good faith to develop a plan to achieve such required levels of Detailing as promptly as practicable, including through the reallocation of Replidyne personnel, if practicable and without adversely affecting Replidyne’s Detailing efforts, and the utilization of Forest sales force personnel as reasonably required to achieve the required levels of Detailing. Following the development of such plan, Forest shall have the right to call on Pediatricians as provided by the plan, in which case the JMC will coordinate the efforts of each of Forest and Replidyne with respect to the Detailing of Product to Pediatricians by each party. In addition, if (a) Replidyne elects not to provide Details of the Product to certain Pediatricians (e.g., due to a particular geographical location), the Detail Reports indicate that Replidyne’s Detailing has not achieved material Detailing requirements to be performed by Replidyne as targeted by the Marketing Plan (as to number or position of Details) over a significant period or (b) the JMC determines, prior to a formal annual update to the Marketing Plan, that Detailing efforts to Pediatricians in addition to those in the then current Marketing Plan are appropriate and authorizes additional funds, if required to support such additional Detailing efforts to Pediatricians, the parties will meet and confer in the manner set forth above to develop a plan to address the provision of additional Details, which plan will be based on the considerations, and implemented by the parties, as provided above. In any such event requiring the utilization of Forest sales force personnel, the parties will cooperate to transition Detailing efforts to Replidyne as promptly as practicable in light of the need to assure a smooth transition of Detailing activities once Replidyne possesses adequate resources to provide Detailing efforts targeted by the Marketing Plan.
                         (a) Marketing. During the Pediatrician Promotion Period and subject to the minimum requirements set forth in Section 5.3(d) of the Agreement, Replidyne will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to execute on the activities under the Marketing Plan regarding marketing and promotion to Pediatricians. Forest will reimburse Replidyne for expenses incurred by Replidyne in performing such activities as provided in Section 4.3(b) of this Schedule 5.5. Forest will share with Replidyne any market research or other marketing information or materials relevant to marketing and promotion to Pediatricians that Forest possesses, as requested by Replidyne.
                         (b) Organization of Replidyne Pediatrician Sales Force. The JMC will determine the minimum number of Pediatricians to be on the call plan and minimum frequency. During the Pre-Launch Period with respect to the Oral Suspension, Replidyne shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to engage and organize the Replidyne Pediatrician Sales Force in accordance with strategic plans agreed to by the JMC and provided in the Marketing Plan. To form the Replidyne Pediatrician Sales Force, Replidyne may expand its then-existing sales force by engaging personnel provided by a contract sales organization; provided that personnel of a contract sales organization shall make up no more than [ *** ] of the Replidyne Pediatrician Sales Force; and provided, further that Replidyne will transition to a Replidyne Pediatrician Sales Force comprised entirely of personnel who are full-time employees of Replidyne by the [ *** ] anniversary of the Detailing Commencement Date for the Oral Suspension. At the end of the first [ *** ] following the Detailing Commencement Date for the Oral Suspension, if the

Replidyne Pediatrician Sales Force is then comprised of personnel provided by a contract sales organization, the JMC shall determine whether:
                              (i) the Replidyne Pediatrician Sales Force has delivered [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the Details set forth in the Marketing Plan for that time period;
                              (ii) at least [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the Details performed by Replidyne Pediatrician Sales Force during that time period were delivered to Pediatricians on the call panel and with the frequency and Detail position established by the JMC; and
                         (iii) the performance by the Replidyne Pediatrician Sales Force meets the metrics previously established by the JMC to be measured in an ImpactRX report obtained at the [ *** ] benchmark point.
                         If the Replidyne Pediatrician Sales Force fails to meet the foregoing requirements, Replidyne will provide written notice to Forest within [ *** ] of such determination by the JMC, indicating whether Replidyne will (A) transition to a sales force comprised of personnel who are full-time employees of Replidyne and coordinate Detailing to Pediatricians together with Forest’s sales representatives pending the achievement of a full-time employee trained and qualified sales force or (B) terminate the Pediatrician Promotion Period, in each case over the course of the [ *** ] month period immediately following such notice.
                         (c) Training Materials and Sessions. Forest shall provide Replidyne with the training materials Forest provides to the Forest Sales Force, sufficient in quantity and quality to allow Replidyne to train the Replidyne Pediatrician Sales Force in Product-specific sales skills and to Detail the Product in a manner consistent with the Detailing performed by the Forest Sales Force. Replidyne will prepare or have prepared any supplementary training materials required for Detailing the Product to Pediatricians, consistent with the applicable Marketing Plan. Forest will permit Replidyne sales representatives to participate in training sessions of the Forest Sales Force with respect to the Product and will provide reasonable advance notice to Replidyne of scheduled training events, provided the Replidyne salary and out-of-pocket travel and related expenses of such attendance shall be for the account of Replidyne. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties intend that the Replidyne Pediatrician Sales Force will participate in the initial Oral Suspension launch and subsequent sales force meetings to the extent related to the Oral Suspension. Training sessions or modules specific to promotion to Pediatricians will be the responsibility and at the cost of Replidyne.
                         (d) Promotional Materials. Forest shall provide Replidyne with sales and promotional materials reasonably sufficient to permit Replidyne to perform Detailing calls to Pediatricians in a manner consistent with the Detailing calls performed by the Forest Sales Force. Replidyne will create or have created on its behalf such additional sales and promotional materials intended to be specific to the Pediatrician audience as called for under the Marketing Plan. The project managers of each party will share with one another any such materials. No such materials shall be used until they have been approved by the regulatory and compliance functions of each party.

                         (e) Sampling. Forest shall provide Replidyne with Product samples as requested by Replidyne to permit Replidyne to perform Detailing calls to Pediatricians in accordance with the Marketing Plan. Replidyne shall be responsible for accounting for sample distribution by the Replidyne Pediatrician Sales Force and shall maintain all records with respect to sample distribution as required by Applicable Laws. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each month, Replidyne shall provide to Forest a written report summarizing samples distributed by the Replidyne Pediatrician Sales Force for such calendar month. In addition, Replidyne shall ensure, through appropriate routine monitoring and auditing standards which conform with current good industry practices, that sampling of the Product is carried out by Replidyne in a manner which is in compliance with all Applicable Laws. Replidyne shall immediately advise Forest of its discovery of any act or omission of Replidyne regarding sample distribution that could violate or require reporting under Applicable Laws. Forest shall be solely responsible for the filing of any necessary reports to FDA in connection with sampling. Within thirty (30) days after the expiration or termination of the Pediatrician Promotion Period, Replidyne shall return, or otherwise dispose of in accordance with written instructions from Forest, all remaining samples and will provide Forest with a certified statement that all remaining samples have been returned or otherwise properly disposed of in accordance with Forest’s instructions and that Replidyne is no longer in possession or control of any samples in any form or fashion.
                         (f) Termination. Replidyne reserves the right to terminate its Pediatrician Promotion Rights at any time during the Pediatrician Promotion Period, effective upon eighteen (18) months written notice to Forest, or immediately upon written notice to Forest if Replidyne believes that a recall, market withdrawal or other corrective action related to the Oral Suspension is warranted in the Territory. If Replidyne exercises the foregoing right, Replidyne shall provide such transition activities as and for such period as Forest may reasonably request, including, without limitation, arranging for meetings between members of the Replidyne Pediatrician Sales Force and sales representatives of Forest, to assure a smooth transition of marketing to Pediatricians.
                         (g) Forest Right of Termination. If Forest ceases the promotion, sale or distribution of the Product in the Territory under the circumstances permitted under this Agreement, then upon written notice to Replidyne, Forest may terminate the Pediatrician Promotion Period, effective within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances underlying any such cessation by Forest. In addition, Forest reserves the right to terminate the Pediatrician Promotion Period, effective upon sixty (60) days written notice to Replidyne in the event that the Detail Reports for at least [ *** ] indicate that Replidyne’s Detailing has not achieved at least [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the Detailing to be performed by Replidyne as targeted by the Marketing Plan (as to number or position of Details) for each such Calendar Quarter or upon the failure by Replidyne to achieve at least [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the Detailing to be performed by Replidyne as targeted by the Marketing Plan (as to numbers or portions of Details) in the aggregate over a period of [ *** ], unless in either case, during such sixty (60) day period Replidyne develops and implements a program of increased Detailing which provides, to Forest’s reasonable satisfaction, assurance that Detail shortfalls will not again occur. Failure of Replidyne to meet the number of Details required under the Marketing Plan with respect to promotion efforts directed to Pediatrician shall not be deemed a material breach

under this Agreement and, notwithstanding Section 12.8, shall not entitle Forest to claim any damages, compensation or relief except as provided in this Section 2.4(g) and Section 4.3(e).
          2.5. Market Withdrawals. Each party shall have the right to determine whether a market withdrawal of the Oral Suspension in the Territory is warranted. If Replidyne makes such a determination, it shall have the right to cease the promotion and Detailing of the Oral Suspension in the Territory immediately upon written notice to Forest. If Forest makes such a determination, it shall have the right to cease all sales of Oral Suspension in the Territory and the promotion and Detailing of the Oral Suspension in the Territory immediately upon written notice to Replidyne. If Replidyne ceases promotion and Detailing of the Oral Suspension in the Territory and Forest continues the sale of the Oral Suspension in Territory, Replidyne shall have no liability for sales of Oral Suspension after the date that Replidyne discontinues its promotion and Detailing of the Oral Suspension in the Territory.
     3. Supply Matters. During the Pediatrician Promotion Period, Forest shall keep Replidyne advised of matters regarding the supply of the Oral Suspension in the Territory and shall consult with Replidyne on strategic decisions to be made with respect thereto.
     4. Financial Matters.
          4.1. Credit Facility. Forest will extend a line of credit of sixty million dollars ($60,000,000) to Replidyne against which, beginning upon commencement of the Pediatrician Promotion Period, Replidyne may draw down in one (1) or more installments such amounts as are necessary to constitute and maintain the Replidyne Pediatrician Sales Force and conduct pre-launch, marketing and other activities related to the exercise of the Pediatrician Promotion Rights. Replidyne agrees to draw down on the line of credit only such amounts as expected to be needed to finance the Pediatrician Promotion Rights by providing written notice to Forest that specifies the amount requested and the reasons for the draw down with reasonable specificity. Any amounts owing by Replidyne to Forest under the line of credit shall bear interest at the prime rate of interest, as adjusted monthly, plus one percent (1%) and shall be repaid on a Calendar Quarter basis over a period ending four (4) years from the date of the first draw, with no penalty for pre-payments. The outstanding balance at any given time may be applied against Royalty Payments and milestone payments due from Forest under this Agreement in the event of a default by Replidyne under the loan, subject to a customary notice requirement and cure period to be provided for under the loan documents and Replidyne shall grant Forest a security interest in Replidyne’s interest in the Royalty Payments and milestone payments receivable by Replidyne under this Agreement to the extent necessary to further secure Replidyne’s obligations in connection with the loan. At the time of execution of the loan documents, Replidyne’s rights to receive Royalty Payments or milestone payments under the Agreement shall be free from any pledge, hypothecation, security interest or other encumbrance in an amount necessary to secure Replidyne’s repayment obligations under the loan. Other standard loan terms will be negotiated in good faith by the parties.
          4.2. Reporting. Within forty-five (45) days after each Calendar Quarter during a Detailing Year, each party shall provide to the other a report, in a form specified by the JMC, summarizing (a) information regarding such party’s actual performance of marketing and promotional activities, as compared to marketing and promotional commitments set forth in the
 
[ *** ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended.

Marketing Plan, including, without limitation, the number and frequency of Details of Oral Suspension provided by such party, including the proportion of Details in first and second position, and Marketing and Sample Expense incurred by such party during the Calendar Quarter, and (b) such information as is necessary to allow calculation of the Non-Pediatrician Suspension Marketing Margin and the Pediatrician Marketing Margin.
          4.3. Compensation to Replidyne.
                         (a) Pediatrician Promotion Fee. In addition to the Royalty Payments and other payments due to Replidyne under Section 7 of the Agreement (including, without limitation, development and commercial milestones for the Oral Suspension and royalties on all sales of the Oral Suspension), subject to adjustment in accordance with subsections (d) and (e) below, Forest shall pay to Replidyne a fee (the “Pediatrician Promotion Fee”) equal to the sum of:
                              (i) [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the Pediatrician Marketing Margin; and
                              (ii) [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the Non-Pediatrician Suspension Marketing Margin.
                         (b) Reimbursement of Replidyne’s Marketing and Sample Expense. Together with each payment of the Pediatrician Promotion Fee, Forest shall reimburse Replidyne for the Pediatrician Marketing and Sample Expense incurred by Replidyne and, if applicable, any Non-Pediatrician Suspension Marketing and Sample Expense incurred by Replidyne as provided for under the Marketing Plan, as well as any other expenses related to the Oral Suspension that are incurred by Replidyne but are to be borne by Forest under this Agreement (such as Cost of Goods and Distribution Costs), which are reported to Forest for the Calendar Quarter to which such payment relates.
                         (c) Payment. Within forty-five (45) days of the end of each Calendar Quarter during the Pediatrician Promotion Period, Forest shall pay Replidyne an amount equal to the Pediatrician Promotion Fee earned by Replidyne for such Calendar Quarter. In the event that the Pediatrician Promotion Fee for a Calendar Quarter is negative, Replidyne shall pay Forest the amount by which such Pediatrician Promotion Fee is negative within forty-five (45) days of the end of such Calendar Quarter.
                         (d) Annual Adjustment. With respect to the payment of the Pediatrician Promotion Fee for the fourth Calendar Quarter of a Detailing Year, Forest shall calculate the actual Pediatrician Promotion Fee payable for the entire such Detailing Year and Forest shall make payment (or receive a credit), as appropriate, for the balance of the Pediatrician Promotion Fee due for such Detailing Year (taking into account any payments by Replidyne to Forest of negative amounts).
                         (e) Additional Adjustment. If the Detailing actually provided by Replidyne to Pediatricians for a given Detailing Year fails to achieve at least [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the Detailing targeted by the Marketing Plan (as to number or position of Details), the

Schedule 5.5-8

 


 

percentage of Pediatrician Marketing Margin used in calculating the Pediatrician Promotion Fee shall be reduced [ *** ].
                         (f) Records. Each party shall maintain accurate records relating to its obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, records relating to the performance of Details (including records of physicians called on, frequency of calls and other data which underlies the Detail Reports required by Section 3.2, and the calculation of Pediatrician Marketing Margin and Suspension Marketing Margin), which records shall be kept available for three (3) years following the Detailing Year to which such records relate unless a longer period is otherwise required by Applicable Laws. The audit provisions of Section 8.5 of the Agreement shall apply to such records.
     5. Product Liability. In connection with the commercialization of the Oral Suspension, Forest and Replidyne will share responsibility equally for any liability for personal injury or property damage arising in connection with use of the Oral Suspension; provided, however, that in any event each party shall be responsible for, and hereby assumes, any and all risks of personal injury or property damage attributable solely to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that party or its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents.
     6. Intellectual Property Matters.
          6.1. Infringement by Third Parties. With regard to any action or proceeding with respect to infringement of any of the Licensed Patents, Joint Patents or Forest Patents pertaining to the Oral Suspension, including any ANDA Proceeding related to such Licensed Patents, Joint Patents or Forest Patents, in the Territory during the Pediatrician Promotion Period, the parties shall cooperate in bringing and shall share control of such action or proceeding with counsel mutually acceptable to the parties. In any such action or proceeding that relates to the Oral Suspension during the Pediatrician Promotion Period, the parties will share equally the costs associated with such action or proceeding, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties.
          6.2. Infringement of Third Party Rights. With regard to the defense of any claim by a Third Party alleging that the activity of either of the parties pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Oral Suspension infringes or may infringe the intellectual property rights of such Third Party during the Pediatrician Promotion Period, the parties shall cooperate in and shall share control of the defense of such claim with counsel mutually acceptable to such parties and shall share equally the costs associated with the defense of such claim, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties.
