Intentionally Omitted.
  18.   Section 4.3(11) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
(11) (a) Neither DEY nor Mylan Inc. (“Mylan”) shall directly or indirectly, manufacture, Detail, sell, market or promote any product (except for Products during the Term of this Agreement) containing Zileuton as one of the active pharmaceutical ingredients for sale in the Territory during the Term. If this Agreement expires or terminates for any reason, neither DEY nor Mylan shall directly or indirectly, manufacture, Detail, sell, market or promote any product containing Zileuton as one of the active pharmaceutical ingredients for sale in the Territory until the later of (i) one year after such expiration or termination or (ii) March 31, 2012 (the “Post-Termination Non-Compete Period”); provided, however, if: (x) a Third Party AB-rated generic product to Zileuton XR not expressly authorized by CRTX enters the Territory during this Post-Termination Non-Compete Period, DEY and Mylan will no longer

Page 4 of 14


 

be held to the Post-Termination Non-Compete Period; or (y) a Third Party AB-rated generic product to Zileuton IR not expressly authorized by CRTX enters the Territory during this Post-Termination Non-Compete Period, DEY and Mylan will no longer be held to the Post-Termination Non-Compete Period with respect to such a product. Nothing set forth in this Agreement is intended to prevent DEY and/or Mylan from being able to take any and all actions necessary to be ready to launch a product containing Zileuton as one of the active pharmaceutical ingredients for sale in the Territory simultaneously with the market entry of a Third Party AB-rated generic product to Zileuton XR and/or Zileuton IR not expressly authorized by CRTX. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated by DEY pursuant to Section 12.2(4) or by DEY pursuant to Section 12.2(6), the Post-Termination Non-Compete Period in this Section 4.3(11) shall be void; provided, however, DEY and CRTX shall continue to abide by the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement after such termination.
(b) If at any time CRTX decides in its sole discretion to launch an authorized generic of Zileuton XR and/or Zileuton IR in the Territory, DEY and/or Mylan shall have the exclusive right to be CRTX’s exclusive authorized generic distributor in the Territory. DEY and/or Mylan shall have thirty (30) days after CRTX’s written notice of its decision to launch such authorized generic(s) in the Territory to elect in writing to exercise its right to commercialize such authorized generic(s) in the Territory. CRTX’s written notice to DEY shall include DEY’s Transfer Cost (as defined below), CRTX’s manufacturing lead times and the applicable CRTX Royalty (as defined below). To the extent DEY and/or Mylan do not timely make such election, CRTX shall be free to commercialize such authorized generic(s) on its own or through a Third Party on terms no more favorable than the terms offered to DEY and/or Mylan. To the extent DEY and/or Mylan timely make such election, CRTX shall exclusively supply DEY and/or Mylan with such authorized generic at [***] (“DEY’s Transfer Cost”) and upon such other terms and conditions mutually agreed to in good faith by the Parties. If DEY and/or Mylan elects to order inventory of the authorized generic in anticipation of the potential launch of a generic by a Third Party (the “Pre-launch Inventory”) and the Pre-launch Inventory is not sold, DEY shall, at CRTX’s option, either: (i) sell back to CRTX at DEY’s Transfer Cost all of the Pre-launch Inventory, or (ii) destroy the Pre-Launch Inventory. If the Pre-Launch Inventory is destroyed as a result of such product not being commercially launched by DEY and/or Mylan because the potential launch of a generic by a Third Party does not actually occur, the parties shall divide the transfer and destruction costs of the Pre-launch Inventory eighty percent to be paid by CRTX and twenty percent to be paid by DEY and/or Mylan; provided, however, CRTX shall have no obligation to share such costs if the applicable inventory has more than twelve (12) months of remaining shelf life on the actual launch date of a generic by a Third Party. DEY and/or Mylan shall sell and distribute the authorized generic in the Territory using commercially reasonable efforts to maximize profitability. Within thirty (30) days following the end of each Calendar Quarter, DEY and/or Mylan shall

calculate the net revenue realized from the sale of the authorized generic product. For purposes of this Section, “net revenue” shall mean the invoiced sales price to a customer by DEY for the authorized generic less: (i) any applicable taxes, (ii) returned goods credits, (iii) any discounts, in amounts customary in the trade, for quantity purchases or cash or prompt payment, (iv) retroactive price reductions, including chargebacks and administrative fees, in amounts customary in the trade. DEY and/or Mylan shall subtract from net revenue the following to arrive at “Net Profits”: (i) DEY’s Transfer Cost, (ii) any royalty due and payable by CRTX to Third Parties pursuant to agreement(s) existing as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date (“CRTX Royalty”), and (iii) a [***] percent ([***]%) distribution allowance for DEY and/or Mylan. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter, DEY and/or Mylan shall pay CRTX the CRTX Royalty and an additional royalty equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of the Net Profits realized from the sale of the authorized generic. If at any time after the launch of the authorized generic it becomes commercially unreasonable for DEY and/or Mylan to continue selling the authorized generic, DEY and/or Mylan may cease selling the authorized generic upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to CRTX. Upon DEY and/or Mylan’s ceasing to sell the authorized generic, it shall, at CRTX’s option, either: (i) sell back to CRTX at DEY’s Transfer Cost all inventory of the authorized generic, or (ii) destroy all inventory of the authorized generic at DEY and/or Mylan’s expense.

continuing throughout the Term until any generic competition for Zileuton XR enters the market in the Territory, at least [***] percent ([***]%) of the total Non-personal Promotion Expenses incurred by CRTX must be directed to the PUDs. Until any generic competition for Zileuton XR enters the market in the Territory, Promotion Expenses include, but are not limited to, all of the costs for the following: (1) the Promotional Materials for biannual Plans of Action to commence March 1 and September 1 of each calendar year (i.e. Plan of Action 1 (“POA1”) and Plan of Action 2 (“POA2”), (2) on a calendar quarterly basis promotional mailings to the PUDs identified by DEY and provided to CRTX, (3) trade show booth panels for the annual meetings of the American Thoracic Society and American College of Chest Physicians, and (4) if journal advertising is done for Zileuton XR, the media will include an appropriate selection of Pulmonology-specific medical journals (e.g., CHEST and the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine).

Following CRTX’s receipt of DEY’s comments, the Parties shall discuss and CRTX shall use commercially reasonable efforts to address DEY’s comments in the Promotion Materials. The revised Promotion Materials will be resubmitted by CRTX to DEY for final review at least five (5) business days prior to the date of disk release to its printer or the date on which CRTX intends to finalize the document, respectively. If a dispute arises between the Parties concerning the content of any Promotion Material, CRTX will provide copies of the Promotional Materials that have been revised to remove the disputed section if there is a documented legal, medical or regulatory concern raised by DEY; provided, however, in such case, CRTX and DEY shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of the additional, incremental costs of such Promotional Material. For example, if the Parties plan to print 1,000 copies of a promotional piece at a cost of $10,000 but they cannot agree on content and two versions (500 copies each) of the piece must be printed at a cost of $14,000, DEY would pay CRTX $2,000 ($14,000-$10,000/2).

Throughout the Term, CRTX shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to reduce the cost of the Samples. If at any time for any reason CRTX is unable to supply DEY in any Calendar Quarter with the number of Samples set forth in the applicable Forecast, CRTX shall allocate [***] percent ([***]%) of any available Samples to DEY until DEY has received the number of Samples set forth in the applicable Forecast for such quarter.
  27.   The first sentence of Section 4.4(10) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
