2.4 Definitions. Capitalized words used without definition in this Agreement will each have the meaning in Schedule C Capitalized words used without definition in this Agreement will each have the meaning in Schedule C.

 

3. Compensation - Fees For Services

3.1 Compensation. The Company will compensate ICS for Services in accordance with Schedule B. ICS will provide monthly invoices for fees for Services to the Company, and will bill the Company for any pass through charges monthly or as ICS is billed. The Company will notify ICS of any disputed charges in writing within 30 days of the date of the invoice covering such charges. In the absence of any such notice of dispute, all invoices will be deemed to be correct and due in full within 30 days of the invoice date. If the Company disputes a portion of an invoice, the Company shall pay the undisputed portion of the invoice within 30 days of the invoice date. A late fee of [***] per month (or any portion thereof) will be charged as of the due date on all amounts not paid within [***] days of the invoice date, except any amount disputed by the Company in good faith. If any dispute is resolved in favor of ICS, the Company will pay the applicable late fee on such amount from the original due date.

3.2 Cost Adjustment. If ICS can reasonably demonstrate to the Company that the costs to ICS for providing Services have materially increased (or are reasonably likely to increase materially during the following twelve (12) month period of the Term) as a result of any changes to the contemplated distribution model (including a move to direct-to-physician or drop-ship model) or changes in the Requirements of Law, including the adoption of any new Requirements of Law impacting Services, then ICS may increase the applicable component of the fees for such Services provided in Schedule B (“Cost Adjustment”). ICS will notify the Company of any proposed Cost Adjustment at least [***] days prior to its effective date. All Cost Adjustments will be determined under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and cost allocation methods applied on a consistent basis. If the Company objects to any Cost Adjustment and the parties are unable in good faith to resolve such objection to the reasonable satisfaction of both parties, then either party may terminate this Agreement upon [***] days’ prior written notice to the other party.

3.3 Program Ready Date. If the Company requests that ICS delay the launch of Services [***] days beyond the agreed-upon date on the signatory page (the “Program Launch Date”), the Company will pay ICS a program ready fee and any associated expenses as specified in Schedule B, including reasonable out-of-pocket costs and other expenses. The Company will give ICS at least [***] written notice of changes to the Program Launch Date. Program ready fees will continue until the Program Launch Date. After the Program Launch Date, the Company will pay applicable monthly program fees. For the first month during which Services are provided, ICS will prorate any difference between program ready fees and applicable monthly program fees.

Page 9


waiver of its right and the other party’s obligations will continue in full force. Either party’s consent to any act by the other party on any occasion will not be deemed consent on any other occasion. Facsimile transmissions bearing a party’s signature will for all purposes be deemed an original.

When this Agreement requires approval of one or more parties, such approval may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Words, regardless of the number and gender specifically used, will be construed to include any other number, singular or plural, and any gender, masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the context requires. “And” includes “or.” “Or” is disjunctive but not necessarily exclusive. “Including” means “including but not limited to.”

1. Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means any confidential or proprietary information that is disclosed or made available by Disclosing Party to Recipient, whether in writing or other tangible form, orally or otherwise. Confidential Information includes (a) information about processes, systems, strategic plans, business plans, operating data, financial information and other information and (b) any analysis, compilation, study or other material prepared by Recipient (regardless of the form in which it is maintained) that contains or otherwise reflects any information disclosed or made available by Disclosing Party to Recipient.

2. Exclusions from Confidential Information. Confidential Information does not include information that:

(a) at the time of disclosure to Recipient, is generally available to the public;

(b) after disclosure to Recipient, becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of these provisions by Recipient (including any of its affiliates);

(c) Recipient can establish was already in its possession at the time the information was received from Disclosing Party if its source was not known by Recipient to be bound to an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information;

(d) Recipient receives from a third party if its source was not known by Recipient to be bound to an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information; or

(e) Recipient can establish was developed independently by Recipient without use, directly or indirectly, of any Confidential Information.

3. Limitations on Disclosure and Use. Confidential Information must be kept strictly confidential and may not be disclosed or used by Recipient except as specifically permitted by this Agreement or as specifically authorized in advance in writing by Disclosing Party. Recipient may not take any action that causes Confidential Information to lose its confidential and proprietary nature or fail to take any reasonable action necessary to prevent any Confidential Information from losing its confidential and proprietary nature. Recipient will limit access to Confidential Information to its employees, officers, directors or other authorized representatives (or those of its affiliates) who (a) need to know such Confidential Information to participate in evaluating the Venture and (b) are obligated to

Recipient to maintain Confidential Information under terms and conditions at least as stringent as those under this Agreement. Recipient will inform all such persons of the confidential and proprietary nature of Confidential Information and will take all reasonable steps to ensure they do not breach their confidentiality obligations, including taking any steps Recipient would take to protect its own similarly confidential information. Recipient will be responsible for any breach of confidentiality obligations by such persons.

4. Ownership. All Confidential Information and deviations of Confidential Information will remain the sole and exclusive property of Disclosing Party and, except as provided, no license or other right to it will be implied by this Agreement. If Recipient has prepared any analysis, compilation, study or other material (regardless of form) that contains or otherwise reflects any Confidential Information, then such material will be owned solely by Disclosing Party and treated as its Confidential Information under this Agreement.

5. No Representations or Warranties. Recipient acknowledges that Disclosing Party makes no representations of warranties, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of Confidential Information and Recipient agrees that Disclosing Party will have no liability for any errors or omissions in such information.

6. Return or Destruction of Confidential Information. Upon Disclosing Party’s request, Recipient will promptly deliver to Disclosing Party or destroy all Confidential Information (including material that contains or otherwise reflects Confidential Information) in its custody or control and will deliver it to Disclosing Party within ten (10) business days after such request or deliver a written statement from a corporate officer certifying it has destroyed all of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

The obligation to destroy or return shall not apply to Confidential Information that is stored on back-up tapes and similar media that are not readily accessible to Recipient.

7. Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges that, when it is Recipient, money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for Disclosing Party in the event of any breach of these provisions and that Disclosing Party is entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach. Recipient further agrees to waive any requirement for the posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedy will be in addition to any other available remedies at law or in equity.

8. Disclosures Required by Law. If Recipient is required by law to disclose any Confidential Information, Recipient will give Disclosing Party prompt notice and will use all reasonable means to obtain confidential treatment for any Confidential Information that it is required disclose before making any such disclosure. If Recipient cannot assure confidential treatment and it has exhausted all reasonable efforts to do so, Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to the extent it is required by law to disclose the information it discloses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Disclosing Party may request Recipient to take additional steps to seek confidential treatment before Recipient discloses Confidential Information even though Recipient has otherwise exhausted all reasonable efforts to do so. In such event, Recipient will undertake such additional steps at Disclosing Party’s expense.

9. Term of this Agreement. This Agreement covers Confidential Information that is disclosed by Disclosing Party to Recipient until the first anniversary of the Effective Date. Recipient’s obligation to protect Confidential Information disclosed during such one-year period expires three years from the Effective Date.
