3. COMMERCIALIZATION; CO-PROMOTION

3.1 Commercialization Activities. Takeda shall be responsible for Commercializing Products in the Field in the Territory, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in compliance in all material respects with applicable Laws. Takeda shall be responsible for paying all Commercialization Costs set forth in the Commercialization Plan approved by the JCC. Takeda shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Commercialize Products in the Field in the Territory in accordance with the Commercialization Plan and the terms of this Agreement, subject to Orexigen’s Commercialization of Contrave pursuant to Section 3.5 and the terms of any Co-Promote Agreement. Upon exercise of its right to Co-Promote pursuant to Section 3.5, Orexigen shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Commercialize Contrave in the Territory in accordance with the Commercialization Plan, the terms of this Agreement and the Co-Promote Agreement, and in compliance in all material respects with applicable Laws. Except as otherwise provided for in Section 3.5 and any Co-Promote Agreement, Takeda, its Affiliates or Sublicensees, as the case may be, shall have the sole right and responsibility for all activities relating to Commercialization of all Products in the Field in the Territory including: (a) booking all sales of Products; (b) determining the price of all Products; (c) sale and distribution of all Products as described in Section 3.3.5 below; (d) conducting all Product marketing activities; (e) creating and approving all marketing programs and promotional materials; and (f) conducting all Product medical affairs activities, including field based medical liaison activities, investigator initiated sponsored research, publications, medical education, health economics outcomes research and medical information.

3.2 Additional Diligence Obligations. In addition to the general responsibilities set forth in Section 3.1, Takeda shall have the following specific diligence obligations:

3.2.1 Commencing on the First Commercial Sale of Contrave in the Initial Indication in the Territory and ending on the […***…] (the “PDE Term”), Takeda shall, in accordance with the Commercialization Plan and this Section 3.2.1, provide at least the following Primary Detail Equivalents for such Product: (i) during the first consecutive […***…] period following such First Commercial Sale, […***…] Primary Detail Equivalents, of which at least […***…] shall be […***…] Details; (ii) during each of the following […***…] periods thereafter, […***…] Primary Detail Equivalents, of which at least […***…] shall be […***…] Details (pro-rated for any partial […***…] period). Takeda shall provide its PDE requirements with the goal of achieving the call plan described in Section 3.2.2, and in accordance with the following: (a) during each […***…], at least […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of its PDE requirement under the call plan; and (b) during each […***…], at least […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of its PDE requirement under the call plan. If Takeda fails to achieve […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of its PDE

FINAL VERSION

 

requirement under the call plan in a […***…], it must exceed […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of its PDE requirement under such call plan in the following […***…] by the number of PDEs that Takeda failed to achieve in the prior […***…] (i.e., that caused it to achieve less than […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of its PDE requirement). If Takeda fails to achieve […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of its PDE requirement under the call plan in any […***…], it must exceed […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of its PDE requirement under the call plan in the following […***…] by the number of PDEs that Takeda failed to achieve under the call plan in the prior […***…] (i.e., that caused it to achieve less then […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of its PDE requirement under the call plan). Any failure by Takeda to correct a PDE shortfall (i.e., achieving less than […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of its PDE requirement under the call plan in a […***…] or […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of its PDE requirement under the call plan in a […***…]) in the timeframe specified above shall be a material breach of this Agreement; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, (1) if Takeda achieves the PDE requirements as set forth above, including through the correction of any shortfall, it may not be held in material breach for failure to achieve […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of the PDE requirements under the call plan and (2) details that are not […***…] shall have no Primary Detail Equivalent value. Upon expiration of the PDE Term, (x) the JCC shall consider the market conditions on an annual basis and adjust the Commercialization Plan (including the PDE requirements and the number of […***…] for the Product) to reflect the then-current market conditions and (y) this Section 3.2.1 (other than, for clarity, subsections (i) and (ii)) shall remain in full force and effect.

3.2.2 The Parties shall establish a Primary Detail Equivalent call plan for Contrave, which shall be supported by a commensurate incentive plan that is aligned with each Sales Representative’s individual call plan, and designed to facilitate achievement of the overall PDE requirements, including as set forth in Section 3.2.1. By way of example, and without limitation, if a Takeda Sales Representative is directed to sell the Product and other Takeda product(s) that are not the Product such that […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of such Takeda Sales Representative’s PDEs are for the Product and […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of such Takeda Sales Representative’s PDEs are for such other Takeda product(s), then in any incentive plan for the Takeda Sales Representatives, such Product would receive a […***…] percent ([…***…]%) incentive weighting and such other Takeda product(s) would receive a […***…] percent ([…***…]%) incentive weighting. For the avoidance of doubt, the incentive weighting for the Product is not required to be greater than or equal to the incentive weighting for such other Takeda product(s).

3.2.3 Commencing on the Original Effective Date and ending on the […***…], Takeda shall, in accordance with the Commercialization Plan, incur at least […***…] Dollars ($[…***…]) in Commercialization Costs (excluding any costs and expenses incurred in connection with Manufacturing activities) for pre-launch activities associated with such Product. During the PDE Term, Takeda shall incur the following Commercialization Costs (excluding any costs and expenses incurred in connection with Manufacturing activities) for promotion of such Product: (i) during the first […***…] during the PDE Term, […***…] Dollars ($[…***…]); and (ii) during each of the following […***…] during the PDE Term, […***…] Dollars ($[…***…]) (pro-rated for any partial […***…]). Thereafter, the JCC shall consider the market conditions on an annual basis and adjust

the amount of Commercialization Costs to be incurred by Takeda for such Product to reflect the then-current market conditions.

3.2.4 Not more than […***…] per Calendar Year, and no more than […***…] for each Calendar Year, Orexigen shall have the right to conduct an inspection and audit of information relating to PDEs, incentive plans, and promotional budget expenditures directly relating to the Product, to confirm Takeda’s compliance with Sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.3. Such inspection and audit shall be conducted at Orexigen’s expense during normal business hours, and upon not less than […***…] ([…***…]) days prior written notice to Takeda.

3.3 Commercialization.

3.3.1 Commercialization Plan. The initial Commercialization Plan for Contrave in the Territory shall be agreed upon by the Parties within […***…] ([…***…]) days after the Original Effective Date. To the extent that the Commercialization Plan includes other Products in the Territory, such Commercialization Plan shall also be mutually agreed upon by the Parties. Notwithstanding the exercise by Orexigen of its right to Co-Promote the Product, all Products in the Field in the Territory shall be sold, and all sales shall be booked, by Takeda, its Affiliates and Sublicensees, as the case may be, and Takeda shall pay milestones and royalties to Orexigen in accordance with Article 7 with respect thereto.

3.3.2 Updates to Commercialization Plan. The Commercialization Plan for the Territory shall be updated or amended by the JCC on an annual basis, or more frequently as necessary, including promptly after Orexigen exercises its right to Co-Promote pursuant to Section 3.5. Updates and amendments to the Commercialization Plan shall be subject to the approval of the JSC pursuant to Section 5.1.2(c), and, if Orexigen exercises its right to Co-Promote, made in accordance with the last sentence in Sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.3. Each Calendar Year, the JCC will prepare an update to the Commercialization Plan, and submit it in advance to the JSC in order to obtain approval from the JSC no later than […***…].

3.3.3 JCC Commercialization Information and Reports. Each Party shall provide the other Party, upon request, with copies of all material Product-specific information relating to Commercialization of the Product generated by such Party, or on behalf of such Party by any Third Party, including market research and other information generated in connection with the conduct of promotional efficiency and other Commercialization activities; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, neither Party shall be obligated to disclose information that relates to products outside the scope of this Collaboration. Each Party will provide the JCC with written Commercialization reports or presentations at JCC meetings. Each such report or presentation shall include the Commercialization activities accomplished by or on behalf of such Party since the previous JCC meeting, and other relevant matters, including a summary of Primary Detail Equivalents broken out on a monthly basis, a copy of all then-current incentive plans relating to the Products, and the status of Commercialization activities as compared to the timelines in the then-existing Commercialization Plan. The Commercialization reports shall also include the reports set forth on Exhibit 3.3.3, and summaries of the costs incurred by each Party in the performance of its Commercialization activities prior to the date of such report. The JCC shall provide to the JSC copies of the information provided under this Section 3.3.3. Takeda shall provide any reports referred to in this Section 3.3.3 and received

After the end of each Calendar Quarter, Orexigen shall submit to Takeda an itemized invoice for PDE Costs incurred by Orexigen in accordance with the activities assigned to it in the Commercialization Plan during such Calendar Quarter, and Takeda shall pay to Orexigen an amount equal to such PDE Costs within […***…] ([…***…]) days after delivery of such invoice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Takeda disputes all or any portion of the PDE Costs submitted to it by Orexigen, Takeda shall not be required to pay such disputed PDE Costs within […***…] ([…***…]) days after delivery of the invoice to Takeda, and the Parties shall use good faith efforts to discuss and resolve such disputed amount.

3.3.5 Sales and Distribution. Notwithstanding the exercise by Orexigen of its right to Co-Promote Contrave pursuant to Section 3.5, Takeda shall have the sole right and responsibility for handling all sales and distribution activities, including returns, order processing, invoicing and collection, distribution (including importing, exporting, transporting, customs clearance, warehousing, invoicing, handling and delivering Products to customers), and inventory and receivables for the Products in the Field in the Territory. Orexigen shall not accept orders for the purchase of a Product from Third Parties, or make sales of Product to Third Parties in the Field in the Territory for its own account or for Takeda’s account.

4. PRODUCT SUPPLY

4.1 Manufacturing Services Agreement; Quality Agreement. The Parties entered into a manufacturing services agreement, dated as of September 2, 2014 (as may be amended by the Parties in accordance with its terms, the “Manufacturing Services Agreement”), which governs the Manufacture and supply of the Product. The Parties entered into a quality agreement, dated as of September 24, 2014 (as may be amended by the Parties in accordance with its terms, the “Quality Agreement”), which governs quality roles and responsibilities with respect to the Manufacture and supply of the Product under the Manufacturing Services Agreement.

4.2 Takeda’s Option to Manufacture. […***…], Takeda may elect, subject to the provisions of Section 14.1, to assume the exclusive right and responsibility to Manufacture or have Manufactured the Product for the Territory by notifying the JSC and the JMC. Within […***…] ([…***…]) days after such notice, the JMC shall begin working on a transition plan for transferring responsibility for Manufacturing activities for Products in the Territory from Orexigen to Takeda within a commercially reasonable timeframe (the “Manufacturing Responsibility Transition Plan”). The Manufacturing Responsibility Transition Plan will be subject to approval by the JSC. Prior to such transfer, Orexigen shall have the sole right to make and have made Products in accordance with the Manufacturing Services Agreement for Takeda’s or Orexigen’s use in Development or Commercialization activities under this Agreement. The Manufacturing Responsibility Transition Plan will reasonably take into account Orexigen’s obligation, if any, to supply the Product for use outside the Territory for purposes unrelated to the Parties’ activities under this Agreement. Each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform its responsibilities under the Manufacturing Responsibility Transition Plan. Upon transfer of Manufacturing to Takeda in accordance with the Manufacturing Responsibility Transition Plan, as between the Parties, Takeda shall assume the sole and exclusive right and responsibility to Manufacture Products for the Territory, itself or through Third Party Manufacturers. Orexigen acknowledges and agrees that following transfer of Manufacture of the Product to Takeda, Takeda will have no obligation to supply the Product for any use outside the Territory that is unrelated to the Parties’ activities under this Agreement. Upon Takeda’s assumption of such responsibility, the Manufacturing Services Agreement shall automatically terminate.

4.3 [Intentionally Omitted.]

4.4 Commercial Packaging. Takeda, itself and/or through one or more of its Affiliates and/or through one or more subcontractors, shall have the sole right and responsibility

At the time of such transfer, stability testing for Product in final packaged form will be included in the term “Commercial Packaging.” Prior to any such transfer, Takeda shall provide Orexigen, at Orexigen’s request, with sufficient amounts of Product after Takeda has completed Commercial Packaging for such Product to enable Orexigen to complete stability testing for purposes of compliance with any and all regulatory requirements in the Territory. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the transfer of the right and responsibility for Manufacturing activities pursuant to Section 4.2 for Product in the Territory from Orexigen to Takeda, Orexigen shall retain the sole right and responsibility for all Manufacturing activities other than Commercial Packaging, including manufacturing Product in finished form for Development.

     […***… ]% 

7.3.2 Royalty Duration. All royalties payable under Section 7.3.1 shall be payable for the duration of the Royalty Term for such Product in the Territory subject to the provisions of Sections 7.3.3 through 7.3.5. Such royalties are due and payable with respect to the substantial value provided to Takeda through access to the information, assistance, materials and data made available to or provided to Takeda pursuant to this Agreement and Orexigen’s substantial expertise applied to research and Development of the Product. Following the Royalty Term, Takeda shall continue to pay Orexigen a royalty of […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of aggregate Net Sales of the Product by Takeda for […***…] the Product Trademarks.

7.3.3 Royalty Reduction – Generic Competition. In the event a Product is subject to Generic Competition in the Territory, then, beginning in the […***…] following the […***…] period during which Generic Competition has been determined to exist in accordance with Section 1.51 at the applicable level noted below, the royalty rates set forth in Section 7.3.1 (without giving effect to any reduction under Section 7.3.5) shall be reduced in the Territory: (a) by […***…] percent ([…***…]%) if the […***…] of such Generic Product(s) sold during the applicable […***…] period exceed […***…] percent ([…***…]%) and are not more than […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of the Product’s […***…];

FINAL VERSION

 

(b) by […***…] percent ([…***…]%) if the units of such Generic Product(s) sold during the applicable […***…] period exceed […***…] percent ([…***…]%) and are not more than […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of the Product’s […***…]; (c) by […***…] percent ([…***…]%) if the units of such Generic Product(s) sold during the applicable […***…]period exceed […***…] percent ([…***…]%) and are not more than […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of the Product’s […***…]; and (d) to […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of Net Sales if the […***…] of such Generic Product(s) sold during the applicable […***…] period exceed […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of the Product’s […***…]. For clarity, the Product’s […***…] shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.44(a) and (b). Such reduction shall be first applied with respect to the Territory starting with sales in the […***…] following the first […***…] period where the sales of the Generic Product(s) in the Territory exceed the applicable level noted above of the […***…] of the applicable Product, and shall expire on the day after […***…]; provided, however, following the Royalty Term Takeda shall continue to pay Orexigen a royalty of […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of aggregate Net Sales of the Product by Takeda for […***…] the Product Trademarks.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the royalty rate set forth in Section 7.3.1 has already been reduced pursuant to Section 7.3.4, then the royalty reduction set forth in Section 7.3.4 shall no longer apply and the royalty reduction set forth in this Section 7.3.3 shall take precedence.

7.3.4 Royalty Reduction – Patent Expiry or Sole Takeda Patent.

(a) Expiration of All Valid Claims Prior to End of Royalty Term. In the event the expiration of the last to expire Collaboration Patent containing a Valid Claim Covering a Product in the Territory occurs prior to the expiration of the Royalty Term in the Territory, the royalty rate set forth in Section 7.3.1 (without giving effect to any reduction under Section 7.3.5) for such Product in the Territory shall be reduced by […***…] percent ([…***…]%) for the remainder of the applicable Royalty Term. Such royalty reduction shall become effective on the day after the last day of the Calendar Quarter in which such last to expire Valid Claim expires.

(b) Royalty Term Based Solely on Takeda Patent. With respect to a Product in the Territory, if all of the events described in the following subsections (i) through (iv) occur, then the royalty rate set forth in Section 7.3.1 ([…***…]) for such Product shall be […***…] until the […***…] containing a […***…] in the Territory: (i) […***…] in the Territory with respect to such Product ([…***…]) have expired; (ii) it is after […***…] after First Commercial Sale of such Product in the Territory; (iii) […***…]

7.3.5 Royalty Reduction – Anti-Stacking. Takeda may offset a total of […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of any royalty payments based on Net Sales paid by Takeda to a Third Party pursuant to any necessary Third Party License against any royalty payments due to Orexigen under Section 7.3.1; provided, however, that in no event shall the total royalty payable to Orexigen on any Product as a result of such offset be less […***…] percent ([…***…]%)%) of the royalty otherwise payable under Section 7.3.1. In the event that […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of such Third Party payments exceeds the amount of payments withheld by Takeda under this Section 7.3.5 in any Calendar Quarter, the excess may be carried over as a credit on the same basis into succeeding Calendar Quarters.

7.4 Royalty Payment Reports. After the First Commercial Sale of a Product and throughout the Royalty Term for such Product, Takeda shall furnish to Orexigen a written report, within […***…] ([…***…]) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter (or portion thereof if this Agreement terminates during a Calendar Quarter), showing the amount of royalty or Net Sales milestone payments due for such Product for such Calendar Quarter (or portion thereof). Royalty or Net Sales milestone payments for each Calendar Quarter shall be due at the same time as such written report for the Calendar Quarter. With each quarterly payment, Takeda shall deliver to Orexigen a full and accurate accounting to include at least the following information: (a) the gross sales for the applicable Product by Takeda, its Affiliates and Sublicensees in the currency in which sales were made and in Dollars after application of the exchange rate during the reporting period as reported in subsection (e) below; (b) the deductions by category of permitted deductions set forth in the Net Sales definition; (c) the Net Sales for the applicable Product by Takeda, its Affiliates, and Sublicensees in the currency in which sales were made and in Dollars after the application of the exchange rate during the reporting period as reported in subsection (e) below; (d) the royalties or Net Sales milestone payments payable in Dollars which shall have accrued hereunder in respect of such Net Sales and the basis for calculating those royalties; (e) the exchange rates and other methodology used in converting into Dollars, from the currencies in which sales were made; and (f) withholding taxes, if any, required by Laws to be deducted in respect of such royalties. In addition, Takeda will send to Orexigen no later than […***…] ([…***…]) days following the end of each Calendar Quarter a preliminary statement setting forth the actual Net Sales for the first […***…] ([…***…]) months of such Calendar Quarter and estimated Net Sales for the […***…] ([…***…]) month of such Calendar Quarter, the calculation of royalties or Net Sales milestone payments due (based on such actual and estimated Net Sales in the Territory) and, if applicable, the exchange rate to be utilized by Takeda to convert a local currency payment to Dollars.

7.5 Manner of Payment. All payments to be made by Takeda hereunder shall be made in Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such U.S. bank account as shall be designated by Orexigen. Late payments shall bear interest at the rate provided in Section 7.10.

Results of any such examination shall be made available to both Takeda and Orexigen. The independent, certified public accountant shall disclose to Orexigen only the royalty amounts which the independent auditor believes to be due and payable hereunder to Orexigen, details concerning any discrepancy from the amount paid and the amount due, and shall disclose no other information revealed in such audit. Any and all records examined by such independent accountant shall be deemed Takeda’s Confidential Information which may not be disclosed by said independent, certified public accountant to any Third Party other than a party to an Upstream Agreement as required under the Upstream Agreements. If, as a result of any inspection of the books and records of Takeda, it is shown that payments received by Orexigen under this Agreement were less than the amount which should have been received, then Takeda shall make all payments required to be made to eliminate any discrepancy revealed by said inspection within […***…] ([…***…]) days. Orexigen shall pay for such audits, except that in the event that Takeda underpaid royalty payments by more than […***…] percent ([…***…]%) during the period in question as per the audit, Takeda shall pay the reasonable costs of the audit. Takeda acknowledges and agrees that Dante shall have the right to audit Orexigen’s books in accordance with this Section 7.7.

7.8 Currency Exchange. All payments under this Agreement shall be payable, in full, in Dollars.

A Party (including any entity to which this Agreement may be assigned, as permitted under Section 14.5) receiving a payment pursuant to this Agreement shall provide the remitting Party appropriate certification from relevant governmental authorities that such Party is a tax resident of that jurisdiction, if such receiving Party wishes to claim the benefits of an income tax treaty to which that jurisdiction is a party. Upon the receipt thereof, any deduction and withholding of taxes shall be made at the appropriate treaty tax rate.

7.9.4 Assessment.

Without limiting any other rights or remedies available to Orexigen, Takeda shall pay Orexigen interest on any payments that are not paid on or before the date such payments are due under this Agreement at a rate equal to the lesser of (a) […***…] percent ([…***…]%) per month or (b) the maximum applicable legal rate, calculated on the total number of days payment is delinquent.

9.1.3 Each Party shall promptly disclose to the other Party in writing, and shall cause its Affiliates, licensees and Sublicensees to so disclose, the conception of any Invention.

Each Party shall also include provisions in its relevant agreements with Third Parties performing activities on its behalf pursuant to this Agreement, that effect the intent of this Article 9. Each Party hereby appoints the other Party as attorney-in-fact of such Party to execute and deliver all documents reasonably required to evidence or record any assignment pursuant to this Agreement if such Party is unable, after making reasonable inquiry, to obtain assistance of such other Party with respect to any such document.

evaluate Joint Inventions and confer with each other regarding the advisability of filing patent applications covering Joint Inventions and, if either Party requests that a patent application be filed covering a Joint Invention, the other Party shall not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay its consent to such filing. The Parties shall agree to whether Orexigen or Takeda have the first right to control and manage the Joint Patents, and an appropriate allocation of expenses related thereto, using a mutually acceptable independent patent counsel, and reasonably consult with the other Party, and shall take any comments of the other Party into good faith consideration, with respect to the preparation, prosecution and maintenance of such Joint Patents. Each Party shall provide to the other Party copies of any papers relating to the filing, prosecution or maintenance of such Joint Patents promptly upon their being filed or received. The Parties shall share equally all expenses incurred with respect to the preparation, prosecution and maintenance of any and all Collaboration Patents.

Each Party shall provide the other Party with notice of the allowance and expected issuance date of any Patent within the Collaboration Patents, and any of the aforementioned filing deadlines, and each Party shall provide the other Party with prompt notice as to whether it desires to file such new Patent application. In the event that a Party decides either (a) not to continue the prosecution or maintenance of a Patent application or Patent within the Collaboration Patents under its control in the Territory or (b) not to file such new Patent application requested to be filed by the other Party, in each case other than to optimize overall Patent protection of claimed inventions, the Party shall provide the other Party with notice of this decision at least […***…] ([…***…]) days prior to any pending lapse or abandonment thereof. In such event, the Party shall provide the other Party with an opportunity to assume responsibility for all costs reasonably associated with the filing or further prosecution and maintenance of such Patent application and any Patent issuing thereon (such filing to occur prior to the issuance of the Patent to which the application claims priority or expiration of the applicable filing deadline, as set forth above). In the event that the other Party assumes such responsibility for such filing, prosecution and maintenance costs, the other Party shall have the right to transfer the responsibility for such filing, prosecution and maintenance of such Patent applications and Patents to patent counsel selected by it and reasonably acceptable to the Party. In such case, Section 9.2.1 shall apply to such Patent applications and Patents mutatis mutandis. Such Patent applications and Patents shall otherwise continue to be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the other Collaboration Patents.

In such event, unless the Parties otherwise agree, Takeda shall have the obligation, at its expense, to control such defense with respect to such Product. Orexigen shall cooperate with Takeda, at Takeda’s reasonable request and expense, and shall have the right to be represented separately by counsel of its own choice.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, neither Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.3 based on a safety concern […***…].

If either Party fails to achieve […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of its PDE requirement under the call plan in any […***…], it must exceed […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of its PDE requirement under the call plan in the following […***…] by the number of PDEs that such Party failed to achieve in the prior […***…] (i.e., that caused it to achieve less then […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of its PDE requirement under the call plan). Any failure by either Party to correct a PDE shortfall (i.e., achieving less than […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of its PDE requirement under the call plan in a […***…] or […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of its PDE requirement under the call plan in a […***…]) in the timeframe specified above shall be a material breach of the Co-Promote Agreement, and the non-breaching Party shall have the remedies set forth in paragraph 7 of this Exhibit 3.5.3; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, if a Party achieves the PDE requirements set forth above, including through the correction of any shortfall, it may not be held in material breach for failure to achieve […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of the PDE requirements under call plan within the Commercialization Plan.


 

 

The Parties shall implement and maintain sales force incentive plans regarding the promotion of the Product that ensure that the targeted incentive weighting for each Sales Representative’s performance is commensurate with the PDE requirement for each Sales Representative as determined in the call plan. For example, a Sales Representative who is expected to deliver […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of his/her PDEs in support of the Product (with the remainder being allocated to other products) shall have an incentive plan that ensures that […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of the targeted incentive within a specified time period under the call plan is dependent upon performance of the Product. For the avoidance of doubt: (i) the incentive weighting for the Product may, but does not have to, equal or exceed […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of the overall incentive weighting applied to both the Product and the other products, and (ii) the incentive weighting for the Product is intended to […***…], and to achieve the overall JCC approved call plan and contractual PDE requirements.

2. Commercialization Costs.

Exhibit 13.3

Dispute Resolution

All references to “days” in this ADR provision are to calendar days.

 

1.

To begin an ADR proceeding, a Party shall provide written notice to the other Party of the issues to be resolved by ADR. Within […***…] ([…***…]) days after its receipt of such notice, the other Party may, by written notice to the Party initiating the ADR, add additional issues to be resolved within the same ADR.

 

2.

Within […***…] ([…***…]) days following receipt of the original ADR notice, the Parties shall select a mutually acceptable panel of […***…] ([…***…]) neutrals to preside in the resolution of any disputes in this ADR proceeding. If the Parties are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable panel of […***…] ([…***…]) neutrals within such period, either Party may request the President of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (“CPR”), 575 Lexington Avenue, 21st floor New York, New York 10022, to select a panel of […***…] ([…***…]) neutrals pursuant to the following procedures:

 

 

(a)

The CPR shall submit to the Parties a list of not less than […***…] ([…***…]) candidates within […***…] ([…***…]) days after receipt of the request, along with a Curriculum Vitae for each candidate. No candidate shall be an employee, director, or shareholder of either Party or any of their Affiliates.

 

 

(b)

Such list shall include a statement of disclosure by each candidate of any circumstances likely to affect his or her impartiality.

 

 

(c)

Each Party shall number the candidates in order of preference (with the number one (1) signifying the greatest preference) and shall deliver the list to the CPR within […***…] ([…***…]) days following receipt of the list of candidates. If a Party believes a conflict of interest exists regarding any of the candidates, that Party shall provide a written explanation of the conflict to the CPR along with its list showing its order of preference for the candidates. Any Party failing to return a list of preferences on time shall be deemed to have no order of preference.

 

 

(d)

If the Parties collectively have identified fewer than […***…] ([…***…]) candidates deemed to have conflicts, the CPR immediately shall designate as the panel of […***…] ([…***…]) neutrals the three candidates for whom the Parties collectively have indicated the greatest preference. If a tie should result between two candidates, the CPR may designate either candidate. If the Parties collectively have identified […***…] ([…***…]) or more candidates deemed to have conflicts, the CPR shall review the explanations regarding conflicts and, in its sole discretion, may either (i) immediately designate as the neutral the candidate for whom the Parties collectively have indicated the


  greatest preference, or (ii) issue a new list of not less than […***…] ([…***…]) candidates, in which case the procedures set forth in subparagraphs 2(a) - 2(d) shall be repeated.

 

3.

No earlier than […***…] ([…***…]) days or later than […***…] ([…***…]) days after selection, the panel shall hold a hearing to resolve each of the issues identified by the Parties. The ADR proceeding shall take place at a location agreed upon by the Parties. If the Parties cannot agree, the panel shall designate a location other than the principal place of business of either Party or any of their Affiliates. Commencing on the date […***…] ([…***…]) days after receipt of the initial ADR notice described in paragraph 1 above, the Parties shall be entitled to engage in reasonable discovery under procedures of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; provided, however, that a party may not take more than […***…] ([…***…]) depositions. There shall not be any, and the panel shall not permit any, discovery within […***…] ([…***…]) […***…] of the hearing. The panel shall decide any Disputes between the Parties related to discovery, including ruling on reasonable requests to expedite discovery, taking into account the applicable period of time for discovery.

 

4.

At least […***…] ([…***…]) days prior to the hearing, each Party shall submit the following to the other Party and the panel:

(b)

a list of any witnesses such Party intends to call at the hearing, and a short summary of the anticipated testimony of each witness;

 

 

(c)

a proposed ruling on each issue to be resolved, together with a request for a specific damage award or other remedy for each issue. The proposed rulings and remedies shall not contain any recitation of the facts or any legal arguments and shall not exceed […***…] ([…***…]) page per issue.

 

 

(d)

a brief in support of such Party’s proposed rulings and remedies, provided that the brief shall not exceed […***…] ([…***…]) pages. This page limitation shall apply regardless of the number of issues raised in the ADR proceeding.

 

5.

The hearing shall be conducted on […***…] ([…***…]) consecutive days and shall be governed by the following rules:

 

 

(a)

Each Party shall be entitled to […***…] ([…***…]) hours of hearing time to present its case. The panel shall determine whether each Party has had the […***…] ([…***…]) hours to which it is entitled.

 

 

(b)

Each Party shall be entitled, but not required, to make an opening statement, to present regular and rebuttal testimony, documents or other evidence, to cross-examine witnesses, and to make a closing argument. Cross-examination of witnesses shall occur immediately after their direct testimony, and cross-examination time shall be charged against the Party conducting the cross-examination.


 

(c)

The Party initiating the ADR shall begin the hearing and, if it chooses to make an opening statement, shall address not only issues it raised but also any issues raised by the responding Party. The responding Party, if it chooses to make an opening statement, also shall address all issues raised in the ADR. Thereafter, the presentation of regular and rebuttal testimony and documents, other evidence, and closing arguments shall proceed in the same sequence.

 

 

(d)

Except when testifying, witnesses shall be excluded from the hearing until closing arguments.

 

 

(e)

Settlement negotiations, including any statements made therein, shall not be admissible under any circumstances. Affidavits prepared for purposes of the ADR hearing also shall not be admissible.

This page limitation shall apply regardless of the number of issues raised in the ADR proceeding.

 

7.

The panel shall rule on each disputed issue in writing within […***…] ([…***…]) days following completion of the hearing. Such ruling shall adopt in its entirety the proposed ruling and remedy of one of the Parties on each disputed issue but may adopt one Party’s proposed rulings and remedies on some issues and the other Party’s proposed rulings and remedies on other issues. The panel shall not issue any written opinion or otherwise explain the basis of the ruling.

 

8.

The panel shall be paid a reasonable fee plus expenses. These fees and expenses, along with the […***…], shall be paid as follows:

(b)

If the panel rules in favor of one Party on some issues and the other Party on other issues, the panel shall issue with the rulings a written determination as to how such fees and expenses shall be allocated between the Parties. The panel shall allocate fees and expenses in a way that bears a reasonable relationship to the outcome of the ADR, with the Party prevailing on more issues, or on issues of greater value or gravity, recovering a relatively larger share of its legal fees and expenses.


9.

The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.

 

10.
