The Party making the incorrect assessment shall be solely responsible for all attorney fees incurred in connection with this Section 6.4.1(b).
          6.4.2 If a Generic Product is being marketed and sold in the Territory, for any **** in which sales of the Product measured on a number of units sold basis are at least **** lower than the average number of units of Product sold by Kos and its Affiliates during the **** prior to the launch of such Generic Product the royalty rate with respect to Net Sales in such **** shall be **** of the royalty rate which would otherwise apply to such Net Sales during such **** as set forth in Section 6.3.

royalty rate with respect to Net Sales during such extended term shall be **** of the royalty rate which would otherwise apply to such Net Sales as set forth in Section 6.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Generic Product is being marketed and sold in the Territory in the manner set forth in Section 6.4.2 and the Parties have agreed to extend the term of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2, the royalty rate for Net Sales specified in Section 6.3 which would otherwise apply to Net Sales during the applicable Calendar Quarter shall be reduced to ****.

     7.3 Records Retention.
          7.3.1 Commencing with the First Commercial Sale of a Product, Kos shall keep, and shall require its relevant Affiliates to keep, complete and accurate records pertaining to the sale of Product for the later of (a) a period of **** after the year in which such sales occurred, and (b) **** after expiration of the shelf life for Product, and in sufficient detail to permit Jagotec to confirm the accuracy of the royalty payments paid by Kos pursuant to Section 6.3.

Said accountant shall not disclose to Jagotec or any other person any information, except that such accountant may disclose to Jagotec the fact of a deficiency, the lack of a deficiency or any overpayment, and the degree thereof, including the dollar amount. All results of any such examination shall be made available to Kos.
          7.4.2 In the event that any audit reveals an overpayment or an underpayment in the amount of any payments that should have been paid by Kos to Jagotec, then the overpayment or underpayment amount, as the case may be, shall be paid within **** days after receipt of the final audit report, ****. ****. In addition, if the underpayment is in excess of **** of the amount that actually should have been paid, then Kos shall reimburse Jagotec for the reasonable cost of such audit.

30


 

          7.4.3 Except in the case of circumstances which would have prevented an error or anomaly from being disclosed during an audit performed under this Section 7.4, such as fraud, misrepresentation or other willful misconduct or gross negligence to provide accurate information, upon the expiration of **** following the end of any Calendar Year, the calculation of royalties payable with respect to such year will be binding and conclusive upon each Party and Kos will be released from any liability or accountability with respect to royalties for such Calendar Year.
     7.5 Taxes.
          7.5.1 Jagotec will be responsible for any income or other taxes owed by Jagotec or required by Applicable Laws to be withheld or deducted from any of the royalty and other payments made by or on behalf of Kos to Jagotec hereunder (“Withholding Taxes”), and Kos may deduct from any amounts that Kos is required to pay to Jagotec hereunder an amount equal to such Withholding Taxes as relate to such payments. Jagotec will provide Kos any information available to Jagotec that is necessary to determine the Withholding Taxes. Kos will pay such Withholding Taxes to the proper taxing authority for Jagotec’s account and will send evidence of such payment to Jagotec within one month of such payment. The Parties will do all such lawful acts and things and sign all such lawful deeds and documents as either Party may reasonably request from the other Party to enable Jagotec and Kos to take advantage of any applicable legal provision or any double taxation treaties with the object of paying the sums due to Jagotec hereunder without withholding or deducting any Withholding Taxes, or the recovery thereof.
          7.5.2 Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, Kos agrees that, with respect to any royalty or other payment made by or on behalf of Kos to Jagotec (as the beneficial owner) hereunder, after Kos has received both:
               (a) a properly executed Form W-8BEN from Jagotec, certifying that: (a) Jagotec (the beneficial owner) is a resident of Switzerland within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the United States and Switzerland (the “Treaty”); (b) the beneficial owner’s U.S. taxpayer identification number is stated on the Form W-8BEN; (c) the beneficial owner derives the item (or items) of income for which the Treaty benefits are claimed; and (d) the beneficial owner meets the requirements of the Treaty provision dealing with limitation on benefits; and
               (b) such other documents as Kos determines constitute a sufficient basis upon which Kos may rely to establish that Kos does not know or have reason to know that it is, by reason of this Agreement, a financed entity in a conduit financing arrangement (as such terms are defined by Section 1.881-3 of the Treasury Regulations),
Kos will not, for the period during which such Form W-8BEN is in effect and during which Kos does not know or have reason to know that it is, by reason of this Agreement, a financed entity in a conduit financing arrangement, deduct or withhold any amount as Withholding Taxes for United States federal income tax purposes except to the extent that the United States is permitted, by the Treaty, to impose tax in such amount on income of the same type as such payment, derived by a resident of Switzerland that meets the requirements of the Treaty provision dealing with limitation on benefits with respect to such payment.

31


 

          7.5.3 Should Jagotec be required by Applicable Laws to account for Swiss VAT, Kos shall also pay Jagotec such additional VAT. This shall apply only if Jagotec provides Kos with an invoice compliant with all the formal VAT requirements.

          12.1.1 negligence or wrongful intentional acts or omissions of Jagotec or its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, consultants and agents, in connection with the activities contemplated under this Agreement; or

As the Parties intend complete indemnification, all costs and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by an Indemnitee in connection with enforcement of Sections 12.1 or 12.2 shall also be reimbursed by the indemnifying Party.
     12.5 Insurance. Each Party will obtain and keep in force, through self insurance or otherwise, in a form reasonably acceptable to the other Party hereto, insurance in scope and amount as required by Applicable Law to a Party’s activities hereunder and such additional amounts as may be reasonably necessary to cover such Party’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement with scope and coverage as is normal and customary in the industry within the Territory for parties similarly situated, but in no event in an amount less than **** per occurrence and in the aggregate. It is understood that such insurance will not be construed to limit a Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Section 12. Each Party will, except to the extent self insured, provide to the other Party upon request, a certificate evidencing the insurance such Party is required to obtain and keep in force under this Section 12.

13. Term; Termination.
     13.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 13, shall expire on the expiration of the last valid Patent covering the Product in the Territory; provided, however, that Kos shall have the right to extend the term of this Agreement as provided in Section 13.2.
     13.2 Right to Extend Term. Kos shall have the right to extend the term of this Agreement on the following terms and conditions:
          13.2.1 Kos shall notify Jagotec in writing at least **** prior to the anticipated expiration of the term of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.1 that Kos desires to extend the term of this Agreement, and shall include a term sheet with Kos’ proposal for the terms of such extension, including the length of the extended term.
          13.2.2 upon receipt of such notice, Jagotec shall enter into good faith negotiations with Kos regarding the terms of such extension. The terms of such extension shall include the applicable reductions in the royalty rates specified in Section 6.4.3. If the Parties reach an agreement on such terms no later than **** prior to the anticipated expiration of the original term of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.1, the Parties shall execute an amendment to this Agreement reflecting such terms.
     13.3 Termination for Cause.
          13.3.1 Either Party (the “Non-breaching Party”) may terminate this Agreement, without prejudice to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, in the event the other Party (the “Breaching Party”) shall have breached any representation or warranty, or breached or defaulted in the performance of any of its material obligations hereunder and such breach or default shall have continued for **** after written notice thereof was provided to the Breaching Party by the Non-breaching Party (or, if such breach or default cannot be cured within such **** period, if the Breaching Party does not commence and diligently continue actions to cure such breach or default during such ****). Any such termination under this Section 13.3 shall become effective at the end of such **** notice period unless the Breaching Party has cured any such noticed breach(es) or default(s) prior to the expiration of such **** period (or, if such breach(es) or default(s) cannot be cured within such **** period, if the Breaching Party has commenced and diligently continues actions to cure such breach(es) or default(s)). The right of either Party to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 13.3 shall not be affected in any way by its waiver or failure to take action with respect to any previous breach or default.
          13.3.2 If Kos is entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.3.1 due to Jagotec’s breach of this Agreement, then Kos may, at its sole discretion, by written notice to Jagotec, either (a) terminate this Agreement in its entirety, or (b) terminate this Agreement in part as described in further detail in Section 13.9.

45


 

     13.5 Termination for Safety Concerns. If: (i) after the filing of a Registration Application for the Product, Kos determines, in its reasonable judgment after discussions with Jagotec, that the Product should be withdrawn due to a significant concern for the safety of the study subjects, which concern is based on a reasonable review of clinical data developed during the Development Program; or (ii) during the Product’s Commercialization Program, such Product becomes subject to a pattern of Serious Adverse Drug Experiences or either Party receives notice from a Regulatory Authority relating to a significant concern for safety, in each case which Kos, in good faith, reasonably believes would significantly impact the long-term viability of the Product; Kos shall have the right, upon **** prior written notice to Jagotec setting forth the reasons therefor in reasonable detail, to have the Steering Committee determine whether or not there exists such significant safety concerns or such significantly impact on the long-term viability of a Product and what, if anything, the Parties should do to address the matter; provided, however, that Kos shall have the right to immediately temporarily cease the marketing, sale and distribution of the Product until a final resolution is reached as provided in this Section 13.5. In the event the Steering Committee is unable to reach a unanimous resolution of the matter within **** of the matter being referred to the Steering Committee, Kos may terminate this Agreement upon **** prior written notice to Jagotec only if Kos, in good faith, reasonably believes that the patient safety issue would significantly eliminate the long-term viability of such Product and certifies the same to Jagotec in such written notice.
     13.6 Termination upon Insolvency. Either Party may terminate this Agreement, if, at any time, the other Party shall file in any court or agency pursuant to any statute or regulation of any state or country, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for an arrangement or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of the Party or of substantially all of its assets, or if the other Party proposes a written agreement of composition or extension of substantially all of its debts, or if the other Party shall be served with an involuntary petition against it, filed in any insolvency proceeding, and such petition shall not be dismissed within **** after the filing thereof, or if the other Party shall propose or be a party to any dissolution or liquidation, or if the other Party shall make an assignment of substantially all of its assets for the benefit of creditors.

          13.7.1 **** may terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon **** prior written notice **** is acquired (whether through merger, sale of stock representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting stock of ****, sale of all or substantially all of **** assets or otherwise) by, or the division or portion of the business of **** to which the Agreement relates is sold or otherwise transferred to, a company which promotes an **** product in the Territory and such acquirer does not (i) provide notice to **** within **** of its acquisition of **** (or the division or portion of the business of **** to which this Agreement relates), as applicable, of its intention to divest itself of such **** product; or (ii) having provided such notice to **** does not, actually divest itself of such **** product within **** of such acquisition. In any event, if such acquirer provides notice of its intention to divest itself of such **** product, such acquirer shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to consummate such divestiture within **** of such acquisition.

46


 

          13.7.2 **** may terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon **** prior written notice to ****, if **** challenges any of the **** or **** that relate to the Product, including, without limitation, those Patents specified on Schedule 1.60 of this Agreement provided, that such termination right will expire **** after such interference or opposition becomes known to ****.
          13.7.3
               (a) If the first **** the Territory has not been obtained on or before ****, **** may terminate this Agreement upon **** prior written notice to ****.
               (b) In the event that the Regulatory Authority requires any clinical or other trials in addition to the Core Clinical Program to be conducted in order to obtain Registration of the Existing Product for the Indications as provided in Section 4.2.2, and either Party reasonably believes that such requirements **** Product in the Territory to a date on or before ****, then such Party shall submit the concern to **** for a determination of whether such belief is accurate or not. If the **** determines (whether by consensus or through the use of an Expert as provided in Section 3.5.4) that such belief is accurate, such Party may terminate this Agreement upon **** prior written notice to the other Party. If the **** determines (whether by consensus or through the use of an Expert as provided in Section 3.5.4) that such belief is not accurate, then neither Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in such event.
          13.7.4 **** may terminate this Agreement if the **** reasonably determines that the costs for the additional trials required by the Regulatory Authority as provided in Section 4.2.2 will exceed ****, and if the **** reasonably determines that the costs for the additional trials required by the Regulatory Authority as provided in Section 4.2.2 will exceed ****, **** may terminate this Agreement.

          13.8.3 to the extent Kos owns or holds any right, title and interest in any Kos Marks covering the brand name(s) of the Product or any Product Trademarks under which the Product has been or is being marketed, promoted or sold in the Territory, Kos shall promptly assign the same to Jagotec for no additional cost and agrees to provide **** any necessary papers to effectuate such assignment; provided that such trademarks shall not include the Kos Marks other than the brand name(s) of the Product or the Kos company name or trademarks only tangentially or secondarily associated with the marketing, promotion or sale of the Product; and
          13.8.4 during the **** period following termination or expiration of this Agreement, Kos may sell its then-existing inventory of Products for the Field in the Territory and will pay all amounts due to Jagotec hereunder with respect to any Net Sales of such inventory occurring during such **** period.

          15.8.1 Except as required by law (including, without limitation, disclosure requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the London Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ stock exchange, or any other stock exchange on which securities issued by a Party are traded), neither Party shall make any public announcement concerning this Agreement or the subject matter hereof without the prior written consent of the other, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that, it shall not be unreasonable for a Party to withhold consent with respect to any public announcement containing any financial terms or any of such Party’s Confidential Information. In the event of a required public announcement, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, the Party making such announcement shall provide the other Party with a copy of the proposed text prior to such announcement sufficiently in advance of the scheduled release of such announcement to afford such other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the proposed text.
          15.8.2 The Parties will coordinate in advance with each other in connection with the redaction of certain provisions of this Agreement with respect to any filings with the SEC, London Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ stock exchange or any other stock exchange on which securities issued by a Party are traded, and each Party will use reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment for such terms; provided, that each Party will ultimately retain control over what information to disclose to the SEC, London Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange, as the case may be, and provided further that the Parties will use their reasonable efforts to file redacted versions with any governing bodies which are consistent with redacted versions previously filed with any other governing bodies. Other than such obligation, neither Party (or its Affiliates) will be obligated to consult with or obtain approval from the other Party with respect to any filings to the SEC, London Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ stock exchange or any other stock exchange.
     15.9 Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of either Party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Party giving such waiver. The

Process may be served in accordance with Section 15.6 in any action or proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence may be served on any party anywhere in the world.
     15.15 Dispute Resolution.

If the Parties cannot resolve any such dispute within thirty (30) calendar days after written notice of a dispute from one Party to another, prior to initializing any action in any court, any Party may, by written notice to the other Party, have such dispute referred to the Executive Officers. The Executive Officers shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days.
