3.1.2                        Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon receipt by OBI or its Affiliates, as applicable, of notice of acceptance by the FDA of OBI’s or its Affiliate’s sNDA filing for the marketing and sale of Doxil® for use in combination with the Product for treatment of multiple myeloma (the “Combination sNDA Filing”), OBI and its Affiliates hereby grant to MLNM: (a) a non-exclusive right and license to promote in the Co-Promotion Territory and its territories and possessions the use of the Product in combination with Doxil® in accordance with the United States package insert for Doxil®, (b) a non-exclusive right and license to use the Doxil® trademark solely in connection with the marketing and sales of the Product in the Co-Promotion Territory and its territories and possessions for use in combination with Doxil®, (c) a non-exclusive right to use all Doxil® Data (as defined below) in connection with the marketing and sales in the Co-Promotion Territory and its territories and possessions of the Product for use in combination with Doxil® , and (d) a non-exclusive right to include such combination as a new use on the Product Label and Insert and full prescribing information for the Product in the Co-Promotion Territory and its territories and possessions by cross-referencing the Doxil® label (or any data contained or referenced in any submissions or applications made by OBI or its Affiliates for the marketing approval of such combination by the FDA) in any submissions or applications which MLNM may make to the FDA with respect to such new use (the “Doxil® License”).  During the term of this Agreement, the Doxil® License shall be royalty-free and fully paid-up.  In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 8.1.1, 8.1.2(a), (b) (solely in the event the basis of such termination is a material breach by OBI), (c), (d), (e), (g) or (h), or Section 8.2, the Doxil® License shall survive such termination and shall be  royalty-free, fully paid-up, perpetual and irrevocable.    If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1.2(b) in the event the basis of such termination is a material breach by MLNM or pursuant to Section 8.1.2(f), the Doxil® License shall not survive unless if, on the applicable effective date of termination of this Agreement under such sections, the FDA has accepted MLNM’s sNDA filing for the marketing and sale of the Product for use in combination with Doxil for treatment of multiple myeloma, in which case, the Doxil® License shall survive and be royalty-free, fully paid-up, irrevocable and perpetual; provided, however, if the FDA does not approve the sNDA such license shall terminate.

7




sublicense its rights under the Doxil® License during the term of this Agreement and following its termination except:  (x) MLNM may assign its rights under the Doxil® License to a Third Party in connection with an assignment of this Agreement by MLNM to such Third Party pursuant to Section 14.11, and (y)  MLNM may sublicense its rights under the Doxil® License to a Third Party in connection with a license to Commercialize (as defined in the Collaboration and License Agreement) the Product in the Co-Promotion Territory that is granted by MLNM to such Third Party (to the extent permitted under the Collaboration and License Agreement).  For purposes of this Section 3.1.2, “Doxil® Data” shall mean any data relating to Doxil® submitted by OBI or its Affiliate to FDA in the Combination sNDA Filing and any data submitted by OBI or its Affiliate to FDA to update, support or supplement the product label for Doxil®.  OBI and its Affiliates agree to promptly disclose and provide to MLNM any Doxil® Data provided to the FDA and, upon MLNM’s request from time to time, all Doxil Data and any other data contained or referenced in the Combination sNDA Filing and any updates thereto, to the extent such information and data is available at the time of each such request.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, OBI makes no representation or warranty to MLNM relating to (A) MLNM’s ability to obtain FDA approval of the use of the Product in combination with Doxil®, or (B) OBI’s and its Affiliate’s ability to obtain FDA approval of the Combination sNDA Filing.  MLNM shall ensure (1) that all statements and claims related to Doxil®, including as to efficacy and safety, are consistent with and in strict compliance with the Doxil® label and insert and all Applicable Laws, including the Act, and (2) that all comments about Doxil® and OBI are truthful, accurate and in strict compliance with Applicable Laws.   In addition, at any time during and after the Co-Promotion Term when such combination is not included on the Product Label and Insert, MLNM shall ensure that all statements and claims related to Doxil® are consistent with messaging approved in advance by the Co-Promotion and Marketing Committee pursuant to Section 4.2.1 (or otherwise approved by OBI in writing).  MLNM shall ensure and require that any permitted assignees and permitted sublicensees of the Doxil® License comply with the foregoing requirements.  Any rights of OBI not expressly granted to MLNM hereunder with respect to Doxil® shall be retained by OBI.  OBI shall cause its Affiliates promptly after execution of this Agreement to enter into a fully paid up, royalty-free trademark license with MLNM consistent with the terms of this Section 3.1.2 and any other agreements necessary to effect the grants made under this Section 3.1.2, each in a form mutually acceptable to both Parties.

3.2                               Reach and Frequency; Minimums.

3.2.1                        During the Co-Promotion Term, OBI shall execute a Call Plan which shall direct its Sales Representatives to complete [**] per month within the Measurement Period for each First Position Target and [**] per month within the Measurement Period for each Second Position Target (collectively, the “Call Standard”). During each Measurement Period, OBI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Sales Representatives to conduct Calls in accordance with the Call Plan; provided, however, that neither any failure of OBI to use such commercially reasonable efforts nor any failure to meet the Call Standard shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or otherwise entitle MLNM to terminate this Agreement; and provided, further, that in no event shall this proviso limit the rights of MLNM to terminate under Section 3.2.4.

8




3.2.2                        In the event OBI fails, during any Measurement Period, to achieve the Call Standard, OBI shall, in any event, cause its Sales Representatives to conduct Calls with (a) a Reach of not less than [**] percent ([**]%) of First Position Targets and not less than [**] percent ([**]%) of Second Position Targets, and (b) a Minimum Frequency of not less than [**] Calls within the Measurement Period for Reached First Position Targets and not less than [**] Calls within the Measurement Period for Reached Second Position Targets.  The aforementioned Reach and Minimum Frequency requirements are referred to, collectively, as the “Minimum Commitment”. For purposes of subsections 3.2.2 through 3.2.4 of this Agreement: (x) “Minimum Frequency” means, with respect to a Measurement Period, the ratio determined by dividing (i) the aggregate number of Calls made to Reached First Position Targets or Reached Second Position Targets (as the case may be) in such Measurement Period by (ii) the number of Reached First Position Targets or Reached Second Position Targets (as the case may be) in such Measurement Period; (y) a “Reached First Position Target” means, with respect to a Measurement Period, a First Position Target who received at least [**] during such Measurement Period; and (z) a “Reached Second Position Target” means, with respect to a Measurement Period, a Second Position Target who received at least [**] during such Measurement Period.  With respect to a particular MLNM Target, no more than [**] Calls to such MLNM Target in a calendar month and no more than [**] Calls to such MLNM Target in a Measurement Period shall be included in the numerator of the calculation of Minimum Frequency, provided, that, with respect to First Position Targets, such Calls shall be First Position Calls.  For purposes of calculating Reach and Minimum Frequency to a Second Position Target, a Call may be a First Position Call or a Second Position Call.

3.2.3                        In the event that OBI does not meet the Minimum Commitment during a Measurement Period (a “Non-Performing Period”), then any Commission Payments due to OBI under Section 5.3 for the calendar year during which the Non-Performing Period occurred shall be reduced by [**] percent ([**]%).  In the event one or more than one Non-Performing Periods occurs in a calendar year, then any Commission Payments due to OBI under Section 5.3 for such calendar year shall be reduced by [**] percent ([**]%) multiplied by the number of Non-Performing Periods in such calendar year.

3.2.4                        In the event [**] Non-Performing Periods occur during the Co-Promotion Term (whether occurring consecutively or not), such event shall be deemed to be an “OBI Non-Performance Breach” and (a) MLNM shall not be obligated to pay OBI any Call Cost Payments with respect to the [**] Non-Performing Period or any Variable Cost Payments with respect to the [**] Non-Performing Period, (b) Commission Payments for the calendar year in which the [**] Non-Performing Period occurs shall be reduced as set forth in Section 3.2.3 and (c) MLNM shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1.2(a) at any time within one-hundred and eighty (180) days after the occurrence of such Non-Performance Breach.  In the event MLNM does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1.2(a) and additional Non-Performing Period(s) occur after the [**] Non-Performing Period, the provisions of this Section 3.2.4 shall apply to such Non-Performing Period(s) without taking into account the one-hundred and eighty (180) day period set forth in clause (c) above.

3.2.5                        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, termination of this Agreement by MLNM pursuant to Section 8.1.2(a) (together with the modification to MLNM’s payment obligations as described in Sections 3.2.3 and 3.2.4 above and the

9




Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.3.2(a)) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of MLNM for any Losses of MLNM caused by or arising as a result of OBI’s failure to satisfy the Minimum Commitments.  MLNM shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1.2(b) (relating to material breach) on the basis of OBI’s failure to satisfy the Minimum Commitments in one or more Measurement Periods which failure is a basis for termination by MLNM pursuant to Section 8.1.2(a).

3.3                               Sales Representatives.

3.3.1                        OBI shall not use any contract sales organizations or other Third Parties to satisfy any or all of its obligations under this Agreement.  Subject to Section 11.8, MLNM at its discretion may use a contract sales organization to supplement its employee sales force.

3.3.2                        At all times during the Co-Promotion Term, OBI shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to deploy a sales force (the “OBI Sales Force”) of at least approximately the same number (the “Current Sales Force Size”) of sales representatives as are in the OBI oncology field sales force on the Effective Date.  The OBI Sales Force shall be responsible for Co-Promoting the Product in accordance with this Agreement and the Co-Promotion Plan.  Such responsibilities shall be in addition to but not to the exclusion of the promotion of Doxil® and Procrit® on behalf of OBI.  During the Co-Promotion Term, OBI shall promptly notify MLNM at least [**] days in advance, to the extent practical but in no event later than the first of the following occurrences, of (a) the implementation of any reduction in the OBI Sales Force to less than [**] percent ([**]%) of the Current Sales Force Size or (b) the removal of one or more of the aforementioned products (Doxil® and Procrit®) from the group of products that the OBI Sales Force is engaged to promote or the addition of one or more products to their promotional activities.  In addition, as soon as practicable but no later than [**] days after such notification to MLNM, OBI shall provide the Steering Committee with a written plan that demonstrates that OBI shall continue to direct the OBI Sales Representatives  to meet the Call Standard  following such reduction in the Sales Force and/or change in the product mix.  In the event that OBI fails to meet the Call Standard, and does not satisfy the Minimum Commitment in the first full Measurement Period occurring after notification of such sales force reduction or product mix change, an OBI Non-Performance Breach shall be deemed to have occurred and such Measurement Period shall be treated as the [**] Non-Performing Period under Section 3.2.4 if, at any time prior to such first full Measurement Period, there is one or more Non-Performing Period.

3.3.3                        OBI shall provide appropriate incentives that are competitive in the marketplace to its Co-Promotion Representatives to optimize OBI’s Co-Promotion of the Product in accordance with Applicable Laws.  Such incentives shall include, without limitation, attributing not less than [**] percent ([**]%) of the total target incentive compensation that may be earned by each Sales Representative to his or her efforts towards Co-Promotion of the Product in the Co-Promotion Territory.  OBI shall be solely responsible for providing compensation and benefits due to the Co-Promotion Representatives.

3.4.2                        In the event that there are certain MLNM Promotional Materials other than the Core Promotional Materials that OBI considers useful in its Co-Promotion of the Product, such as MLNM’s Patient Starter Kit, OBI shall notify the Co-Promotion and Marketing Committee.  If approved by such committee, MLNM shall provide such other Promotional Materials to OBI and charge OBI an amount equal to MLNM’s direct cost.  OBI shall pay to MLNM such amounts within [**] days after OBI’s receipt of an invoice for such amounts.

3.4.3                        OBI shall provide sales direction, training and communications to all Co-Promotion Representatives on a basis and in a manner that is consistent with the Product Label and Insert and Promotional Materials that OBI received pursuant to this Agreement.  OBI shall, and shall cause its Sales Representatives to (a) only use such Promotional Materials provided by MLNM in connection with the Co-Promotion of the Product, (b) ensure that all statements and claims related to the Product, including as to efficacy and safety, are consistent with and in strict compliance with the Product Label and Insert and such Promotional Materials, and all Applicable Laws, including the Act, (c) ensure that all comments about the Product, Product competition, other products and MLNM are truthful, accurate and in strict compliance with Applicable Laws, and (d) not change such Promotional Materials in any respect.  Without limitation to the foregoing, OBI shall not, and shall not cause or permit its Sales Representatives to make any untrue or misleading statements or comments about the Product, and/or take any action that jeopardizes, or could reasonably be expected to jeopardize the goodwill or reputation of MLNM or its products.

3.5                               Product Sales.

3.5.2                        MLNM shall provide Sales Representatives with general information related to the placement of orders for the Product by health care professionals with prescribing authority in the Co-Promotion Territory.  OBI shall not, and shall not permit its Sales Representatives to, solicit or accept orders for the Product but rather, shall promptly direct any orders that it receives and cause its Sales Representatives to promptly direct any orders they may receive to MLNM or to its sole distributor, MillenniumDirect™, or any other such distributor as

11




designated by MLNM.  MLNM shall cause its sole distributor to accept all orders for the Product within the Co-Promotion Territory at pricing determined by MLNM in its sole discretion and subject to MLNM’s standard terms and conditions.  Such standard terms and conditions as in effect on the Effective Date are attached as Appendix D to this Agreement and MLNM shall provide any modification thereto to OBI as soon as practicable but no later than within [**] days after the effectiveness of such modifications, along with a corresponding update to Appendix D.  MLNM shall be solely responsible for responding to requests from MLNM Targets for individual patients who need the Product but are unable to afford it.  OBI shall promptly direct any such requests that it receives and cause its Sales Representatives to promptly direct any such requests that they may receive to MLNM.

3.6                               Product Recall and Withdrawal.  Recalls and withdrawals of the Product shall be handled in accordance with the Collaboration and License Agreement.  In the event that MLNM decides to conduct a recall in the Co-Promotion Territory in accordance with the Collaboration and License Agreement, MLNM shall advise OBI with respect to any actions to be taken by OBI in connection with the recall.

3.7                               Product Return.  MLNM shall have the sole responsibility and right to accept, either directly or indirectly, any request to return Product in the Co-Promotion Territory.  OBI shall not solicit the return of any Product and shall promptly notify MLNM of any returned Product received by OBI by contacting the MLNM Medical Drug Information Call Center at 1-866-VELCADE or as may otherwise be reasonably directed by MLNM from time to time.  Any Product returned by OBI shall be accompanied by a fully completed return form provided by MLNM and shall be shipped by OBI to a facility designated by MLNM.  All reasonable shipping costs of OBI in connection with any Products returned by OBI to MLNM in the Co-Promotion Territory shall be reimbursed by MLNM.

3.8                               Product Medical Inquiries.

3.8.1                        MLNM shall have the exclusive right to respond to all questions or requests for information about the Product made by any medical professionals or any other person to OBI or its Sales Representatives that (a) are not appropriate, per Applicable Laws, for a response to be made by a Sales Representative, (b) if appropriate per Applicable Law for a response to be made by a Sales Representative, warrant a response beyond the knowledge or understanding of such Sales Representatives, or (c) are beyond the scope of the Core Promotional Materials (all such questions or requests being referred to as “Product Medical Inquiries”).  OBI shall direct its Sales Representatives to direct all Product Medical Inquiries within [**] of their receipt thereof to the MLNM Medical Drug Information Call Center at 1-866-VELCADE or as may otherwise be reasonably directed by MLNM from time to time.  In no event shall OBI respond to, or permit its Sales Representatives to respond to any Product Medical Inquiry.

5.1      Call Costs Payments.

5.1.1        “Call Costs” means an amount equal to [**] Dollars ($[**]) with respect to each First Position Call and [**] Dollars ($[**]) with respect to each Second Position Call.  Beginning on January 1, 2008, each Call Cost shall be increased or decreased by the percentage increase or decrease in the applicable CPI as of the then most recent annual period ending December 31 over the level of such CPI on December 31, 2006.

5.1.2        In addition to the other amounts payable pursuant to this Article V, MLNM shall pay OBI [**] percent ([**]%) of each Call Cost (the “Call Cost Payment”) with respect to each Call made by Sales Representatives to Co-Promote the Product to MLNM Targets in accordance with the Call Plan up to a maximum amount equal to (a) [**] Dollars ($[**]) per calendar quarter in each of 2007 and 2008 for all First Position Targets and (b) [**] Dollars ($[**]) per calendar quarter in 2007 and 2008 for all Second Position Targets.  Beginning on January 1, 2008, the maximum amounts set forth under subsections (a) and (b) above with respect to Call Cost Payments for 2008 shall be increased or decreased by the percentage increase or decrease in the applicable CPI as of the then most recent annual period ending December 31 over the level of such CPI on December 31, 2006.

5.2      Variable Costs. In addition to the other amounts payable pursuant to this Article V, MLNM shall also make the following payments to OBI (collectively referred to as “Variable Cost Payments”):

5.2.1        Incentive Compensation.  Quarterly payments of [**] Dollars ($[**]) with respect to each of 2007 and 2008 for incentive compensation (the “Incentive Payments”) for those OBI sales personnel who are directly involved in the Co-Promotion provided that OBI submits a report of total Variable Cost Payments due in accordance with Section 5.5.2 of this Agreement.  OBI shall use the Incentive Payments in accordance with Section 3.3.3 of this Agreement.

The foregoing amounts shall be pro-rated if the Co-Promotion Manager is directly involved in these activities only for partial Measurement Periods.

5.2.4        Field Sales Training.  MLNM shall reimburse OBI for actual, out-of-pocket incremental costs incurred by OBI as a result of training activities of  Co-Promotion Representatives that are for the purposes of training related exclusively to the Co-Promotion of the Product in connection with the Training Plan (i.e. no reimbursement shall be due in connection with training activities that are only partially related to the Co-Promotion of the Product or outside of the Training Plan) in the following amounts:

(a)           Up to an amount not to exceed [**] Dollars ($[**]) in 2006; provided, however, to the extent that MLNM performs any of OBI’s obligations with respect to training activities per the Training Plan in 2006, including, without limitation, the production of training binders in order to timely complete the required activities under the Co-Promotion Plan, then the costs incurred by MLNM in performing OBI’s obligations, shall be deducted from the $[**];

5.3      Commissions.  In addition to the other amounts payable pursuant to this Article V, MLNM shall also pay OBI commissions as set forth in this Section 5.3 (the “Commission Payments”):

5.3.1        With respect to 2007 calendar year Net Sales during the Co-Promotion Term, MLNM shall pay OBI:

[**] percent ([**]%) of that portion of such annual aggregate Net Sales that are greater than [**] Dollars ($[**] shall be referred to as “2007 Baseline”), but are less than or equal to [**] Dollars ($[**]), and

[**] percent ([**]%) of that portion of annual aggregate Net Sales that exceed [**] Dollars ($[**]):

5.3.2        With respect to 2008 calendar year Net Sales during the Co-Promotion Term, MLNM shall pay OBI:

[**] percent ([**]%) of that portion of such annual aggregate Net Sales that are greater than [**] Dollars ($[**] shall be referred to as “2008 Baseline”) but are less than or equal to [**] Dollars ($[**]), and,

5.3.3        Thus, pursuant to Sections 5.3.1 and 5.3.2, Commission Payments on aggregate Net Sales of the Product during the Co-Promotion Term in a calendar year shall be paid at the rate applicable to the portion of Net Sales within each of the applicable defined Net Sales levels during such calendar year.  By way of example:

If, aggregate Net Sales of the Product in 2007 equal $[**], then the commission fees payable to OBI would be calculated by adding U + V = W:

17




(a)           Where U equals a Commission Payment of [**]% of that portion of the Net Sales that is greater than the 2007 Baseline  but less than or equal to $[**], which equals [**];

(b)           Where V equals a Commission Payment of [**]% of that portion of Net Sales which exceeds $[**], which equals [**]; and

(c)           W equals $[**].

13.2.5      In the event the Parties cannot agree upon procedures for conduct of the hearing meeting the schedule set forth in Section 13.2.3, then the arbitrator(s) shall set dates for the hearing, any post-hearing briefing, and the issuance of the award in accordance with the Section 13.2.3 schedule.  In addition, in the event the Parties cannot agree upon procedures for discovery as set forth in subsection 13.2.3 above, the arbitrator(s) shall provide that discovery be limited so that the Section 13.2.3 schedule may be met without difficulty and so that neither side obtains more than a total of forty (40) hours of deposition testimony from all witnesses, including both fact and expert witnesses, or serves more than twenty (20) individual requests for documents, including subparts, or twenty (20) individual requests for admission or interrogatories, including subparts.  In no event shall the arbitrator(s), absent agreement of the Parties, allow more than five (5) days per side for the hearing or more than a total of ten (10) days for the hearing.  Multiple hearing days shall be scheduled consecutively to the greatest extent possible.

13.2.6      The arbitrator(s) must render their award by application of the substantive law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and are not free to apply “amiable compositeur” or “natural justice and equity.” The arbitrator(s) shall render a written opinion setting forth findings of fact and conclusions of law with the reasons therefor stated.  A transcript of the evidence adduced at the hearing shall be made and shall, upon request, be made available to either Party.  The arbitrator(s) shall have power to exclude evidence on grounds of hearsay (subject to all hearsay exceptions set forth in the United States Federal Rules of Evidence), prejudice beyond its probative value, redundancy, or irrelevance and no award shall be overturned by reason of such ruling on evidence.  To the extent possible, the arbitration hearings and award shall be maintained in confidence.  Except as set forth below, the decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and not subject to further review, except pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act.

13.2.7      In the event the panel’s award with respect to a disputed matter other than an Expedited Arbitration Dispute exceeds [**] Dollars ($[**]) in monetary damages, then the losing Party may obtain review of the arbitrators’ award or decision by a single appellate arbitrator (the “Appeal Arbitrator”) selected from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals by agreement or, failing agreement within seven (7) Business Days, pursuant to the selection procedures specified in Section 13.2.4 above for Expedited Arbitration Disputes, except that the parties may jointly interview the three (3) candidates with the highest combined ranking and exercise one peremptory challenge each, with the time limits extended fifteen (15) days to accomplish this.  If CPR cannot provide such services, the Parties shall together select another provider of arbitration services that can.  No Appeal Arbitrator shall be selected unless he or she can commit to rendering a decision within forty-five (45) days following oral argument as specified in this Section 13.2.7.  Any such review must be initiated within thirty (30) days following the rendering of the award referenced in Section 13.2.6 above.

13.2.8      In any arbitration appeal pursuant to Section 13.2.7, the Appeal Arbitrator shall make the same review of the arbitration panel’s ruling and its bases that the U.S. Court of Appeals of the Circuit where the arbitration hearings are held would make of findings of fact and conclusions of law rendered by a district court after a bench trial and then modify, vacate or affirm the arbitration panel’s award or decision accordingly, or remand to the panel for further proceedings.  The Appeal Arbitrator shall consider only the arbitration panel’s findings of fact and conclusions of law, pertinent portions of the hearing transcript and evidentiary record as

 

37

14.14      Performance by Affiliates.  To the extent that this Agreement imposes obligations on Affiliates of a Party, such Party agrees to cause its Affiliates to perform such obligations.  Either Party may use one or more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations and duties hereunder, provided that the Parties shall remain liable hereunder for the prompt payment and performance of all their respective obligations hereunder.

14.5        Amendments; Waivers.  This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified except pursuant to the written agreement of both Parties.  Unless set forth in writing by the Party, no failure, delay or course of dealing on the part of such Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement by a Party preclude the exercise of any other right, power or privilege of such Party.  Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition.  No waiver by any Party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any

The processes described herein may be modified from time to time to meet the needs of both parties after review and approval by the CPMC pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Agreement.

I. Target List

MLNM has provided OBI with a Target List per Section 2.2.1 of the Agreement.  The Target List is attached to this Co-Promotion Plan as Appendix A.

Target List Format

The Target List was formatted as an Excel spreadsheet and delivered by Director, Commercial IT at MLNM to a dedicated OBI/MLNM ftp site hosted by OBI and contained the following fields:

·                  Area

·                  Region

·                  Territory

·                  Cm id [Customer Master identifier]

·                  Name

·                  Thalomid Decile

·                  RM Adjusted Tier

·                  Flag for First Position

·                  Promotion Candidates

·                  Default Position

·                  Revised Position

·                  Demote Candidates

Development of Call Plan by OBI:

·                  OBI will use the available information on the Target List to assign each First Position Target and Second Position Target to at least one OBI sales representative.

·                  OBI will compare the Target List to its existing customer list of oncology health care providers.

·                  The MLNM Targets on the Target List that are identified on OBI’s existing customer list of oncology health care providers will be assigned to the applicable OBI sales representative.  MLNM Targets that are not listed on OBI’s existing list of oncology health care providers will be sent to the OBI sales  representatives

·                  The OBI will instruct its sales representatives to work with their MLNM sales representative counterparts to validate the existence and location of the applicable MLNM Targets.  Counterparts will be identified through the shared rosters as laid out in this Co-Promotion Plan.

·                  If OBI, after reasonable efforts and after consulting with MLNM, is unable to locate a particular MLNM Target, MLNM will replace that MLNM Target with another MLNM Target

·                  Once all MLNM Targets have been located by the applicable OBI Sales Representatives, the list of “located” targets will constitute the Target List.  MLNM and OBI will continue to reconcile the Target List until 1500 First Position and 5000 Second Postiion “located” targets are included.

·                  The Call Plan will be provided to the CPMC for review and approval within [**] days of receipt of the Target List.

·                  The Call Plan will be provided to the CPMC for review and approval within [**] days of receipt of the Target List.

Semi-Annual Updates to the Target List

Every May 15 and November 15 MLNM will provide to OBI a new Target List pursuant to section 2.2.1 of the Agreement in the same format as the original Target List unless mutually agreed upon by the parties.

OBI will follow the above process to validate the Target List thereby developing a Target List for the next semi-annual period pursuant to Section 2.2.1 of the Agreement. Each updated Target List will be incorporated into the Co-Promotion Plan following approval by the CPMC and will replace the immediately preceding Target List.

II. Call Plan

Distribute Call Plan to OBI Sales Force

Promptly upon validation of the Target List by OBI, all new MLNM Targets will be loaded into OBI’s customer relationship management Siebel database.  Additionally OBI will identify all MLNM Targets in the Siebel system with a “Home Office Rating” (H.O. rating) and a “Call Goal”.   OBI will assign a First Position Target a H.O. rating of VELCADE 1 and a Second Position Target a  H.O. rating of VELCADE 2.  OBI will assign each MLNM Target a Call Goal of [**] calls per calendar quarter.

Semi-Annual Updates to the Call Plan

The Call Plan will be updated according to the updated Target List. The updated Call Plan will be submitted to the CPMC for review and approval within [**] days of OBI’s receipt of the updated Target List.  Each updated Call Plan will be incorporated into the Co-Promotion Plan following approval by the CPMC and will replace the immediately preceding Call Plan.

OBI will provide all OBI Sales Representatives with a copy of the most current Call Plan in the next available production run of the Siebel Assignment Manager System after approval by the CPMC.

New Indications

The process for updating the Call Plan to support new indications will be discussed at the CPMC.

Sales Direction:

OBI will instruct its Sales Representatives that each First Position Target must receive a Call [**] a month as a First Position Call and each Second Position Target must receive a Call [**] a month as a Second Position Call.

Call Plan Reporting

OBI will send a variety of weekly reports to its sales representatives and sales management to help them monitor their progress to the Call Plan.

OBI sales management will receive reports that will help monitor District and Territory level Call Plan performance and will alert them to underperforming areas.

OBI and Trinity have entered into a master services agreement, effective as of August 22, 2005 whereby Trinity provides data reporting services to OBI.

Millennium and OBI, in a separate letter of agreement, have agreed that Millennium will fulfill its obligation to provide VELCADE sales data reports to OBI by providing raw sales data to Trinity, for Trinity to maintain in confidence, and create and provide VELCADE sales data reports to OBI.  This Agreement will become an attachment to the letter of agreement between Millennium and OBI.

In consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein and attached hereto, the Parties agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized representatives.

2.             Trinity License, Use and Restrictions.

(a)           License and Use.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Millennium hereby grants to Trinity the limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right during the Term to use Millennium Data for the sole purpose of compiling VELCADE sales data reports within the OBI sales force alignment and providing such reports to OBI as set forth herein.  Trinity will maintain the Millennium Data in a secure database, as set forth in Exhibit A, segregated from other data it is compiling on behalf of or reporting to OBI.  Trinity will provide the VELCADE sales data reports on weekly and monthly basis in a non-editable format to the OBI sales operations and field sales personnel mutually agreed upon by Millennium and OBI and provided to Trinity.  Millennium will have access to the reports that are provided to OBI.

(b)           Restrictions on Use.  Trinity will not aggregate Millennium Data within the current quarter beyond the mutually agreed upon level, except for the quarterly data file.  Trinity will not use or disclose the Millennium Data, including without limitation to OBI, except as




expressly permitted herein, without the express prior written consent of Millennium.  Trinity will not disseminate information that would allow for the compilation of national sales data within a current quarter.  Millennium Data will only be disclosed within Trinity and to those OBI personnel who are working on VELCADE, as agreed by Millennium and OBI.

3.             Compensation.  OBI is responsible for compensating Trinity for any services that it performs in connection with this Agreement.  Millennium will have no obligation to compensate Trinity.

4.             Confidentiality.

(a)           Definition.  The term “Confidential Information” includes all information that Millennium treats as confidential or proprietary, including without limitation the Millennium Data, whether or not labeled “Confidential,” in any format or compilation.

(b)           Trinity Confidentiality Obligation.  Trinity acknowledges that Millennium is and will remain the sole owner of the Confidential Information.  During the term of this Agreement and thereafter, Trinity will take all commercially reasonable precautions to protect the confidentiality of Confidential Information, and will not disclose or use any Confidential Information except with Millennium’s knowledge and as necessary to perform its obligations hereunder.  In particular, Trinity may disclose Confidential Information to its employees who need to know such Confidential Information in order to perform Trinity’s obligations hereunder and who are obligated to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information under terms substantially similar to those set forth in this Section 4(b).  If required by law, Trinity may disclose Confidential Information to a governmental authority, provided that reasonable advance notice is given to Millennium and Trinity reasonably cooperates with Millennium to obtain confidentiality protection.

5.             Expiration and Termination.

(a)           Expiration.   This Agreement will be co-terminous with the Co-Promotion Agreement, which expires on December 31, 2008.  It may be extended by mutual agreement of the Parties or earlier terminated in accordance with this Section 5.

(b)           Termination by Millennium.  Millennium may terminate this Agreement at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Trinity.  In addition, Millennium may terminate immediately upon written notice to Trinity if Trinity breaches this Agreement.

(d)           Effect of Termination or Expiration.  Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, neither Party shall have any further obligations under this Agreement, except that Trinity will immediately return to Millennium all Confidential Information and Trinity will erase or destroy any copies of Millennium Data from all media, disk files and data systems and shall, upon Millennium’s request, deliver to Millennium a statement from an individual having sufficient knowledge of this Agreement and the status of Millennium Data, certifying that Millennium Data has been erased from all storage media of Trinity.
