(i) if and to the extent all therapeutically active agents comprising the Combination Product are marketed and sold separately in such country in commercially relevant quantities in such Payment Period (as defined in Section 4.1) and the Gross Selling Price for each agent can be separately determined for such Payment Period, Net Sales of each Combination Product for determining the Additional Consideration Payment payable with respect to such Combination Product for such country shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by A divided by the sum of A plus B (A/(A+B)), in which A is the Gross Selling Price of the single therapeutically active agent Product contained in the Combination Product sold in such country during such Payment Period and B is the Gross Selling Price of the other single therapeutically active agent(s) contained in the Combination Product sold in such country during such Payment Period. All Gross Selling Prices of the therapeutically active ingredients in the Combination Product shall be calculated as the average Gross Selling Price of the therapeutically active ingredients in such Combination Products during the applicable Payment Period for which the Net Sales are being calculated.

(ii) In the event that (a) separate sales, in commercially relevant quantities, in a particular country of the other therapeutically active agent (not the Product) comprising a single compound as a therapeutically active ingredient are made during the Payment Period in which the sale was made or if the Gross Selling Price for such other therapeutically active agent (not the Product) can be determined for a Payment Period, but (b) there are no such separate sales of the Product as the sole therapeutically active agent or such separate sales of the Product cannot be determined for such Payment Period, then the Net Sales of the Combination Product in such country for determining the Additional Consideration Payment payable with respect to such Combination Product for such country for such period shall be calculated by multiplying Net Sales of such Combination Product in such country by the number one (1) minus the result of

dividing X over Y (1—(X/Y)), in which X is the Gross Selling Price of the therapeutically active ingredient that is not a Product sold separately in commercially reasonable quantities during the Payment Period in question and Y is the Gross Selling Price of the Combination Product sold in the Payment Period in question in such country.

(iii) If neither of the single therapeutically active agent components of the Combination Product is sold separately in commercially relevant quantities in a country during a particular Payment Period, then the Additional Consideration Payment payable on such Combination Product in such country for such period will be [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) of the Additional Consideration Payment that would be due on a Product that is not a Combination Product.

(d) Any Additional Consideration Payment due on Combination Products shall be paid to SB for Net Sales of Combination Products in the U.S. and to GGL for Net Sales of Combination Products in the ROW. After determining the total Additional Consideration Payments due on Combination Products in accordance with Section 3.5(c) above, Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall determine the Additional Consideration Payments due on Net Sales in the U.S. and in ROW, respectively, and shall pay such amounts to SB and GGL, respectively.

3.6 Starting Date of Additional Consideration Payment Obligations. The obligation of Jazz Pharmaceuticals to pay Additional Consideration Payments to GGL and SB at the rates specified in Section 3.5 will become effective on a country by country basis on the date of the First Commercial Sale of a Product in such country.

3.7 Termination of Additional Consideration Payment Obligations. Additional Consideration Payments will be payable on Net Sales of Products in the U.S. until the expiration of the last-to-expire Valid Claim in the Patents in force in the U.S. Additional Consideration Payments will be payable on Net Sales of Products in all countries of Europe until the expiration of the last-to-expire Valid Claim in the Patents in force in the last country in Europe in which such Valid Claim is in force. Additional Consideration Payments will be payable on Net Sales of Products in all countries in the ROW until the expiration of the last-to-expire Valid Claim in the Patents in force in the last country in the ROW in which such Valid Claim is in force. Additional Consideration on Net Sales of Products in Europe and the ROW is being paid in this manner as an administrative convenience to the Parties as a result of the difficulty in allocating value for each of the Patents in Europe and the ROW.

3.8 Transfer and Other Taxes. Jazz Pharmaceuticals will be responsible for and will pay all foreign, federal, state and local taxes payable in connection with the acquisition and transfer of the Purchased Assets to Jazz Pharmaceuticals by GSK. GSK will be responsible for and will pay all foreign, federal, state and local taxes payable on any income or gain resulting from the sale of the Purchased Assets to Jazz Pharmaceuticals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall not be required to pay (i) any VAT in connection with the transfer of the Purchased Assets, or (ii) any tax as a result of the separate payment to SB pursuant to Sections 3.3 or 3.5 that it would not have been required to pay if making only one payment to GGL. In the event that Jazz Pharmaceuticals is required to withhold and remit any tax to the revenue authorities in any country in the Territory regarding the Purchase Price, any Milestone payment or any Additional Consideration Payments payable to GGL or SB due to the laws of such country, such amount shall be withheld by Jazz Pharmaceuticals, and Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall notify GSK and promptly furnish GSK with copies of any documentation evidencing such withholding.

ARTICLE 4—MANNER OF PAYMENTS; REPORTS; DILIGENCE

4.1 Manner of Additional Consideration Payments.

(a) Jazz Pharmaceuticals will deliver to GSK within sixty (60) days following the end of each “Payment Period”, meaning a calendar quarter ending on March 31st, June 30th, September 30th or December 31st, the Additional Consideration Payment Statements (as defined in Section 4.2), along with Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ payments to GGL and SB of any Additional Consideration Payment due and payable to GGL and SB for such Payment Period.

(b) Each Additional Consideration Payment will be computed and paid in U.S. Dollars. Monetary conversion calculations from the currency of a foreign country in which a Product is sold into U.S. Dollars will be made on a quarterly basis on the last day of each applicable calendar quarter using the exchange rate reported on the last Business Day of such calendar quarter in the Wall Street Journal, eastern edition.

(c) Whenever any Additional Consideration Payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment will be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day.

(d) In the event that any payment due hereunder is not made when due, the payment shall accrue interest from that date due at the rate of [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) per month, or the maximum rate allowed by law, whichever is less, and shall be calculated based on the number of days that the payment is delinquent. The payment of such interest shall not limit GSK from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.

4.2 Additional Consideration Payment Statements. Each Additional Consideration Payment required hereunder will be accompanied by a report (“Additional Consideration Payment Statement”) for the preceding Payment Period containing the following information:

(a) itemized accounting of the total Net Sales for Product during the applicable Payment Period in each country of sale in sufficient detail to permit confirmation of the accuracy of the Additional Consideration Payment;

(b) adjustments and calculation of Net Sales for the applicable Payment Period in each country of sale; and

(c) total Net Sales in U.S. dollars, together with the exchange rates used for conversion.

If no payment is due to GGL or SB for any Payment Period, the Additional Consideration Payment Statement will so state. All Additional Consideration Payment Statements will be considered Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ Confidential Information under this Agreement, but GSK may disclose such Confidential Information in accordance with Section 11.2 or Section 11.3.

4.3 Additional Consideration Payment Post-Termination Report. Jazz Pharmaceuticals will make a written report to GSK within thirty (30) days after the date of any termination of

[ * ] = 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 ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.


Additional Consideration Payment obligations under this Agreement, stating in such report the number, description and Net Sales of Products sold or otherwise disposed of and on which an Additional Consideration Payment is payable hereunder that was not previously reported to GSK.

4.4 Audit. Upon the written request of GSK (but not more frequently than [ * ]), GSK will have the right, upon thirty (30) days advance notice to Jazz Pharmaceuticals and at a mutually agreeable time, to have an independent certified public accountant or like individual reasonably acceptable to Jazz Pharmaceuticals (the “Auditor”) inspect, during normal business hours, Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ directly applicable records for the preceding two (2) years for the purpose of determining the accuracy of Additional Consideration Payment Statements and the associated Additional Consideration Payment made to GGL and SB pursuant to this Agreement. The results of any such examination shall be made available to Jazz Pharmaceuticals. In the event the Auditor concludes that there was an underpayment of the total Additional Consideration Payment to GGL and SB together, the underpayment will be paid by Jazz Pharmaceuticals to GGL or SB or both, as applicable (but subject to the provisions of Section 3.5(b) concerning allocations between GGL and SB), within sixty (60) Business Days after the date Jazz Pharmaceuticals receives such Auditor’s written report; provided, however, if Jazz Pharmaceuticals desires to contest such audit results, Jazz Pharmaceuticals may do so by submitting the results of the audit to arbitration through JAMS New York or San Francisco offices within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such audit, and the arbitration shall be final and binding on GSK and Jazz Pharmaceuticals. Pending the results of such arbitration, Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall be entitled to withhold any disputed amounts claimed by GSK as a result of the audit. In the event the Auditor concludes that there was an overpayment of Additional Consideration Payment to GGL or SB or both, as applicable, the overpayment will be credited toward the next Additional Consideration Payment to be paid by Jazz Pharmaceuticals to GGL or SB or both, as applicable, under this Agreement until fully credited; provided, however, that in the event no further Additional Consideration Payment will become due under this Agreement, such overpayment will be paid by GGL or SB or both, as applicable, to Jazz Pharmaceuticals within sixty (60) Business Days after the date GSK receives such Auditor’s written report. If the underpayment of Additional Consideration is greater than [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) of the Additional Consideration Payment determined by the Auditor to be payable to GSK, the reasonable fees and expenses charged by the Auditor will be paid by Jazz Pharmaceuticals; otherwise GSK will pay the reasonable fees and expenses charged by such Auditor. The Auditor will report to GSK only its conclusions as to whether Jazz Pharmaceuticals is in compliance with its Additional Consideration Payment obligations and the amount of any underpayment or overpayment, and such report and the conclusions contained therein will constitute Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ Confidential Information in accordance with Section 11.1.

4.5 Diligence.

(a) Product Development Diligence. Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall exercise its Diligent Efforts to develop a Product for marketing and sale in the Territory. In connection therewith, Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall use its Diligent Efforts to achieve the development objectives set forth below by the corresponding times set forth below:

Any time period described in Section 4.5(a) or (b) shall be extended for the same period of time as any delay caused by GSK in transferring the Purchased Assets to Jazz Pharmaceuticals or any delay which was outside the control of Jazz Pharmaceuticals.

4.6 Cessation or Suspension of Development Efforts. If Jazz Pharmaceuticals ceases or suspends development efforts for all of GW273293 and the other Products covered by the Patents (such that efforts have been suspended with respect to all of the Compounds) for a period of fourteen (14) successive months, such cessation or suspension of development efforts shall constitute a failure of Diligent Efforts by Jazz Pharmaceuticals and a material breach of this Agreement. Upon such material breach, GSK, in its discretion, may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.2.

4.7 Termination of Development or Commercialization by Jazz Pharmaceuticals.

(a) If Jazz Pharmaceuticals determines to cease Diligent Efforts (alone or with a Third Party) to develop and commercialize all Products prior to enrolling a patient in the first Phase II Clinical Trial for the first Product, Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall so notify GSK in writing.

In its notice to GSK, Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall advise GSK of the total amount it has expended to develop and commercialize the Products. If GSK reacquires the Products under this Section 4.7(b), Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall provide GSK with all data generated by Jazz Pharmaceuticals regarding the Products.

Upon receipt of notice from Jazz Pharmaceuticals under Section 4.7(a) or 4.7(b), GSK shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to Jazz Pharmaceuticals given within sixty (60) days after Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ notice, to reacquire the Product and all of Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ rights to the Product.

(c) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty or covenant of GSK set forth in this Agreement; or

ARTICLE 10—DISPUTE RESOLUTION

10.1 Disputes. The Parties recognize that disputes as to certain matters may from time to time arise that relate to either Party’s rights or obligations hereunder. It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of disputes arising under this Agreement in an expedited manner by mutual cooperation. To accomplish this objective, the Parties agree to follow the following procedures if and when a dispute arises under this Agreement:

(a) Any such disputes will be first referred by either Party to senior representatives designated by each Party. If such senior representatives are unable to resolve such a dispute within thirty (30) days of being requested by a Party to resolve the dispute, the matter will be presented to the chief executive officers of Jazz Pharmaceuticals and GSK, for resolution through good faith discussions. In the event that the chief executive officers of Jazz Pharmaceuticals and GSK cannot resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of being requested by a Party to resolve a dispute, either Party may, by written notice to the other, invoke the mediation provisions of Section 10.1(b).

(b) Upon invocation as provided by Section 10.1(a), the Parties agree to try in good faith to resolve such dispute by non-binding mediation administered by the Center for Public Resources (“CPR”) in accordance with the then current CPR Model Procedure for Mediation of Business Disputes, provided that specific provisions of this Section 10.1(a) will override inconsistent provisions of such CPR Model Procedure. The mediator will be selected from the CPR Panel of Neutrals and the location of the mediation be selected by mutual agreement of the Parties, and absent such mutual agreement, will be New York, New York. If the Parties cannot agree upon the selection of the mediator or its location within ten (10) Business Days of the initiation of the mediation, then CPR will appoint the mediator and the mediator will select the location. The Parties will attempt to resolve such dispute through mediation until one of the following occurs: (i) the Parties reach a written settlement; (ii) the mediator notifies the Parties in writing that

 

25

they have reached an impasse; (iii) the Parties agree in writing that they have reached an impasse; or (iv) the Parties have not reached a settlement within sixty (60) days of the initiation of the mediation. All aspects of any such mediation, including any resolution or decision relating thereto, will be non-binding, and will be held as confidential and all participants, including the mediator, will be bound by judicially enforceable obligations of strict confidentiality except to the extent the Parties agree in writing to waive in whole or part such confidentiality.

(c) If the Parties fail to resolve such dispute through mediation, then either Party may take such other action as such Party deems appropriate in its sole discretion, including pursuing litigation against the other Party.

10.2 Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing dispute resolution procedures, in the event of an actual or threatened breach hereunder, the aggrieved Party may seek restraining orders, specific performance or other injunctive relief without submitting to such dispute resolution procedure.

10.3 Tolling. The Parties agree that all applicable statutes of limitation and time-based defenses (such as estoppel and laches) will be tolled while the procedures set forth in this Article 10 are pending, and the Parties will cooperate in taking any and all actions necessary to achieve such a result.
