3.7.1.

Subject to SOLÉSENCE’s compliance with this Agreement, including timely fulfilling its supply obligations hereunder, COLORESCIENCE agrees to collectively order the minimum order quantities appearing on Exhibit A (the “Minimum Order Quantity(ies)”) for the Term of this Agreement, provided that, with respect to Finished Products, SOLÉSENCE shall have developed such Finished Products according to the applicable Product Specifications developed by COLORESCIENCE and with aesthetics and performance characteristics on par with other production sites contemporaneously being used by COLORESCIENCE.

In the event that COLORESCIENCE does NOT meet the Minimum Order Quantity for a Product as provided in Exhibit A and such failure was not due to a Force Majeure Event or a breach or failure of SOLÉSENCE to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, COLORESCIENCE may elect, subject to Section 3.7.3 below, to maintain exclusivity by paying SOLÉSENCE an R&D fee (the “R&D Fee”) within sixty days after the end of each calendar year, as follows:

Product

R&D Fee

Bridge Solution

Innovation Solution Active

[*]% of the difference of (i) the value of the units actually ordered at the Price per Ounce in Exhibit A, minus (ii) the value of the Minimum Order Quantity of the Product at the Price per Ounce in Exhibit A

Finished Products A and B, and Next Gen Product(s), collectively

The greater of (i) $[*] or (ii) [*]% of the average purchase price of the units of Finished Products purchased, multiplied by the difference between (a) the Minimum Order Quantity of Finished Products and (b) the number of units of Finished Products actually purchased by COLORESCIENCE

In the event COLORESCIENCE does not meet the Minimum Order Quantities provided in Exhibit A with respect to a Product and does not timely pay the R&D Fee, and if COLORESCIENCE’s inability to meet the Minimum Order Quantity did not result from a Force Majeure Event or SOLÉSENCE’s breach or failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, including to timely supply such Product in accordance with the Product Specifications, then as SOLESENSE’s sole and exclusive remedy and COLORESCIENCES’s sole and exclusive liability, the license granted in Section 3.1 and the Exclusivity Commitment provided in Section 3.4 with respect to such Product may be reduced from exclusive to non-exclusive upon written notice thereof by SOLÉSENCE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that COLORESCIENCE does not intend to meet the Minimum Order Quantities or pay the pro-rated R&D Fee in 2019 or a future year as a result of such shortfall, COLORESCIENCE shall notify SOLÉSENCE of such intent by September 30, of that year. If COLORESCIENCE fails to timely provide such notification, COLORESCIENCE shall be obligated to either meet the Minimum Order Quantity or pay the shortfall R&D Fee for that calendar year.

3.7.3.

Should SOLÉSENCE sell to COLORESCIENCE any units of Finished Products A, B, or Next Gen Product(s) intended for use in a marketing campaign or as full-sized testers at a sales price lower than the pricing provided in Exhibit A (such lower price, the “Reduced Sales Price”) then the quantities of such Products sold at the Reduced Sales Price shall contribute towards the applicable Minimum Order Quantities at a prorated amount equal to the Reduced Sales Price as a percentage of the price provided in Exhibit A multiplied by the total units sold at the Reduced Sales Price. For clarity any non-full-sized samples (including luxury samples) created for Colorescience shall not be included towards the applicable Minimum Order Quantity.

3.7.4.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.7, COLORESCIENCE shall submit purchase orders equal to the annual minimum order quantity for Innovation Actives and Finished Products as listed in Exhibit A or pay the equivalent pro-rated R&D Fee, in the first sixty 60 days after the completion of the calendar year of the agreement.

3.7.5.

If in a given year COLORESCIENCE exceeds the previous year’s Minimum Order Quantity for a Product, then the Minimum Order Quantity for such Product shall be reduced by one half of the previous year’s excess (Offset), while under no circumstance shall COLORESCIENCE pay less than [*]% of the Minimum Order Quantity even after accounting for the Offset.

Term and Termination

4.1.

This Agreement shall enter into force on the Effective Date and shall remain in force for a twelve (12) year, non-cancelable term, renewable upon written notice for up to two (2) additional five (5) year terms upon mutual agreement of both parties (altogether, the “Term”).

If SOLÉSENCE (a) fails to timely supply, according to the terms of supply as provided by Section 8, any Products ordered by COLORESCIENCE for a period of greater than sixty (60) days and such failure was not due to a Force Majeure Event or a breach or failure of COLORESCIENCE to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, (b) fails to timely supply, according to the terms of supply as provided by Section 8, any Products ordered by COLORESCIENCE for a period of greater than six (6) months and such failure was due to a Force Majeure Event, or (c) otherwise materially breaches any of the provisions of this Agreement and such breach is not cured within seventy-five (75) days after COLORESCIENCE gives written notice of such breach to SOLÉSENCE, then COLORESCIENCE shall have the right to: (i) use a third-party manufacturer to supply such Products as provided in Section 5.1.2 until such time that SOLÉSENCE cures the breach; or (ii) terminate this Agreement.

4.2.3.

COLORESCIENCE shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately with respect to any Product that any governmental or regulatory agency (including, by way of example, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) determines to be unsafe or otherwise prohibits COLORESCIENCE from marketing or selling.

It is understood that the Products are intended to be a critical component of COLORESCIENCE’s most important franchise products. SOLÉSENCE shall enable supply, establish and maintain an inventory at its facility equivalent to at least three months’ supply based upon COLORESCIENCE’s most recent forecasts, provided that with respect to the Innovation Solution Actives, SOLÉSENCE shall maintain an inventory at its facility equivalent to at least six months’ supply based upon COLORESCIENCE’s most recent forecasts. SOLÉSENCE will within 120 days of the commercialization of each Product, qualify a third party manufacturer (the “Qualified Manufacturer”) acceptable to COLORESCIENCE to produce such Product consistent with the Product Specifications. Should SOLÉSENCE be unable for a period of 60 days to supply any Products for any reason whatsoever, SOLÉSENCE shall compel the Qualified Manufacturer to produce such Products on SOLÉSENCE’s behalf. Upon resumption of production capability, SOLÉSENCE shall resume production and supply of such Products to COLORESCIENCE.

5.1.2.

Should SOLÉSENCE due to insolvency, breach, Force Majeure Event or any other reason be unable or otherwise fail to supply any Products for a period of greater than 75 days (provided that in the event of a Force Majeure Event, such period shall be greater than six (6) months), and such failure was not due to a breach or failure of COLORESCIENCE to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, COLORESCIENCE shall have the right to have the Qualified Manufacturer or, if such Qualified Manufacturer is unable to meet the supply obligations under this Agreement, an alternative manufacturer chosen by COLORESCIENCE, produce and supply such Products directly for COLORESCIENCE, until such time as SOLÉSENCE can resume supply. Any agreement between SOLÉSENCE and the Qualified Manufacturer shall provide that COLORESCIENCE shall have the right to purchase Products at prices no greater than the prices provided in this Agreement. To the extent such price is less than that provided under this Agreement, COLORESCIENCE agrees to provide such differential to the then owner of U.S. Patent 9,139,737 provided that (i) such Patent Rights has validly issued claim covering such Product at the time of manufacture and (ii) in no event shall such royalty payment constitute more than [*]% of the total purchase price of such Product from the Qualified Manufacturer. COLORESCIENCE and the Qualified Manufacturer shall only have the rights to use SOLÉSENCE technology for the manufacture of Products.

The Receiving Party shall: (i) hold in strict confidence all Confidential Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party and protect such Confidential Information with the same standard of care the Receiving Party affords its own Confidential Information, but no less than reasonable care; and (ii) not disclose the Confidential Information to any third party except for its employees, employees of its Affiliates, or its attorneys, accountants, consultants, agents representatives, contractors, suppliers, potential investors, lenders or acquirers whose duties justify the need to know such Confidential Information and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Article 13.

13.3.

were independently developed by the Receiving Party without using or making any reference to the Confidential Information;

(e)

13.5.

Confidential Information shall not be considered within the above exceptions merely because the Confidential Information is embraced by more general information within the exceptions. Any combination of features of Confidential Information shall not be considered within the above exceptions unless the combination itself and its principles of operation are within the exceptions.
