2.2 Sublicense Agreements.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, Orthovita shall have no right to grant a sublicense under the license rights granted to Orthovita in Section 2.1 without Angiotech’s prior written consent.

Orthovita’s facilities shall be subject to inspection by Angiotech or its representatives upon seventy-two (72) hours prior written notice, but no more than once per Calendar Year and during regular business hours; provided, however, that if such an inspection reveals that Orthovita is not in compliance with its manufacturing, handling or storing obligations with respect to such Angiotech-Branded CoStasis Products, Supplied Products or R&D Products, then Angiotech shall be entitled to inspect Orthovita’s facilities at reasonable intervals until such time as Orthovita is in compliance with such obligations for an entire Calendar Year. For all Angiotech inspection requests under this Section 6.2(d), Orthovita shall promptly respond to Angiotech’s requests for inspection and the Parties shall agree on the time, scope and manner of the inspection.

Net Sales attributed under this Article 7 to such a transaction shall be that value which would have been received in an arm’s length transaction. In the case of any sale or other disposal of a Product by or on behalf of Orthovita or its Affiliates to Third Parties for consideration other than cash, such as barter or counter-trade, the value of such non-cash sale or other disposal shall be calculated as described below for such non-cash consideration received, or shall be the fair market price (if higher) of the Product in the country of such non-cash sale or disposal. In the case of receipt by Orthovita or its Affiliates of any non-cash consideration from any sale or other disposal of a Product, the value of such non-cash consideration shall be calculated based on the fair market value of such non-cash consideration received (along with any cash consideration received). If any sale or other disposal of a Product includes both cash and non-cash consideration, then the total value of such consideration shall be allocated among the various components of such transaction in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Such audits may not be performed by Angiotech more than once per Calendar Year; provided, however, that if such an audit reveals that Orthovita is not in compliance with the reporting requirements of Section 7.3, then Angiotech shall be entitled to audit Orthovita’s books, records and accounts at reasonable intervals until such time as Orthovita is again in compliance with the reporting requirements of Section 7.3, including re-audit of books, records and accounts for the same period of time for which an audit was previously conducted by Angiotech. Such accountant shall be instructed not to reveal to Angiotech the details of its review, except for (a) such information as is required to be disclosed under this Agreement and (b) such information presented in a summary fashion as is necessary to report the accountant’s conclusions to Angiotech, and all such information disclosed to Angiotech under this Section 7.4 shall be deemed Confidential Information of Orthovita. If the accountant makes a determination of underpayment by Orthovita, Orthovita shall remit to Angiotech, within thirty (30) days of receiving notice from Angiotech, any underreported amounts, or other amounts due to Angiotech hereunder, together with interest from the original due date for payment, as provided in Section 7.8. ***

As partial consideration for the exclusive, co-exclusive and non-exclusive licenses granted to Orthovita by Angiotech hereunder, Orthovita agrees to meet a Product Minimum Sales requirement (as set forth in Exhibit D) during each Calendar Year of the Term, commencing with Calendar Year 2006. If Orthovita fails to meet the Minimum Sales requirement in Calendar Year 2006 or any subsequent Calendar Year during the Term (including any extensions to the Term), then Angiotech, within sixty (60) days after the end of the applicable Calendar Year, shall send written notice to Orthovita of such shortfall in achieving such Minimum Sales (“Shortfall”). With respect to the first occurrence of a Shortfall during the Term, Angiotech may, in its sole discretion, (a) demand that, within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, Orthovita pay to Angiotech a Shortfall payment (“Shortfall Payment”), and (b) if, and only if, Orthovita does not make the Shortfall Payment, Angiotech may, in its sole discretion, ***. With respect to the second or any subsequent Shortfall, Angiotech may, in its sole discretion, ***. Any Shortfall Payment demanded by Angiotech shall be calculated as follows: ***. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.5, if Orthovita should exhaust its inventory of CoStasis Products provided by Angiotech pursuant to the Distribution Agreement prior to the date upon which Orthovita receives Regulatory Approval in the United States to sell CoStasis Products manufactured by or on behalf of Orthovita and such failure to obtain Regulatory Approval prior to Orthovita’s exhaustion of its inventory of CoStasis Products is due solely to delay on the part of the United States Food and Drug Administration (and such delay is not attributable to an act or omission of Orthovita), then:

(aa) Minimum Sales for Calendar Year 2006 shall be adjusted as follows: ***; and

(bb) Minimum Sales for Calendar Year 2007 shall be adjusted as follows: ***;

Without limiting the events which may constitute a breach or material breach of this Agreement by Orthovita, Orthovita understands and agrees that it shall be in material breach of this Agreement, and Angiotech shall have the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.2 (subject to the applicable cure period), if Orthovita fails or refuses to pay to Angiotech any undisputed payment when due.
