requested change. PIERRE FABRE will, within thirty (30) days following PIERRE FABRE’s receipt of such request, evaluate the proposed change and notify NOVACEA if PIERRE FABRE approves the proposed change, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. With its notice of approval, PIERRE FABRE will advise NOVACEA of the impact of such change on the manufacturing and analytical processes, the manufacturing cost and delivery time. If PIERRE FABRE reasonably concludes that the proposed change will result in an overall increase in the cost of producing the Finished Product, it shall so advise NOVACEA, providing NOVACEA with reasonable documentation of such increased costs. Upon NOVACEA’S request, the Parties will discuss same in good faith and, if NOVACEA still wishes to proceed, NOVACEA shall agree to compensate PIERRE FABRE for such cost increase in a mutually acceptable manner. If NOVACEA proposes to change any such Specification and if such change would necessitate any regulatory filing in or outside the NOVACEA Territory, PIERRE FABRE will solicit NOVACEA’S input regarding such proposed change and any such change shall be implemented pursuant to a change control program agreed to by the Parties at such time. Additionally, at the sole expense of NOVACEA, PIERRE FABRE shall assist with all analytical or experimental work to be performed in connection with making such change, and NOVACEA shall be responsible, at NOVACEA’ expense (unless the change is made due to a change in applicable Legal Requirements or a request of a Regulatory Authority that is not within either Party’s control, in which case each Party will bear any costs reasonably allocable to its territory), for filing all changes proposed by NOVACEA and for seeking approval of any such change by each applicable Regulatory Authority in the NOVACEA Territory and NOVACEA shall reimburse PIERRE FABRE for its costs for filing all changes proposed by NOVACEA and for seeking approval of any such change by each applicable Regulatory Authority outside the NOVACEA Territory.

(c)

If PIERRE FABRE proposes any change to the Specifications that relate to Finished Product manufactured for use or sale in the NOVACEA Territory, such change will require NOVACEA’S prior written approval (not to be unreasonable withheld or delayed). Such request shall be made upon not less than [*]’ prior written notice to NOVACEA of the requested effective date of such proposed change (or such shorter period as required by any Regulatory Authority or mutually agreed by the Parties). PIERRE FABRE will solicit NOVACEA input regarding any regulatory filing in any country in the NOVACEA Territory affected by such proposed change and any such change shall be implemented pursuant to a change control program agreed to by the Parties at such time.

4.5. Claims.

4.5.1. Notice of Failure to Conform. NOVACEA shall proceed with analytical control of Finished Product and shall notify PIERRE FABRE of any failure of Finished Product to conform to the applicable Specifications or to be manufactured in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements of the NOVACEA Territory, indicating the batch number and the defect, within forty-five (45) days of receipt of Finished Product from PIERRE FABRE. If NOVACEA fails to notify PIERRE FABRE within such time period, such Finished Product shall be deemed to have been accepted by NOVACEA provided, however, that PIERRE FABRE shall continue to be liable for any latent defect in such Finished Product.

4.5.2. Investigation by PIERRE FABRE. Promptly upon receipt of notice from NOVACEA pursuant to subsection 4.5.1 above, PIERRE FABRE shall, at its expense, conduct an investigation into such failure of such Finished Product to conform to the Specifications or to be manufactured in accordance with cGMPs and applicable Legal Requirements, and shall promptly notify NOVACEA of its findings. Upon mutual agreement of the Parties, NOVACEA shall perform such tests as are reasonably necessary to determine if such non-conformity occurred while the Finished Product was at NOVACEA’S designated facilities.

4.5.3. Right of Return by NOVACEA. In the event that the Parties, acting in good faith, are unable to agree whether Finished Product conforms to the Specifications or has been manufactured in compliance with cGMPs and all Legal Requirements of the NOVACEA Territory, such Finished Product shall not be deemed to have been “rejected” by NOVACEA, but NOVACEA shall nevertheless have the right to return the contested Finished Product to PIERRE FABRE and PIERRE FABRE shall replace such Finished Product within the shortest possible time, and in no event more than ninety (90) days after the date on which such Finished Product was returned by NOVACEA. In the event that it is ultimately determined or agreed by the Parties that such Finished Product conformed to the Specifications and was manufactured in compliance with cGMPs and all Legal Requirements of the NOVACEA Territory, such replacement (including the

cost of shipping such Finished Product back to PIERRE FABRE shall be at NOVACEA’S expense. In the event that it is ultimately determined or agreed by the Parties that such Finished Product did not conform to the Specifications or was not manufactured in compliance with cGMPs and or Legal Requirements of the NOVACEA Territory, such replacement (including the cost of shipping such Finished Product back to PIERRE FABRE shall be at PIERRE FABRE’S expense.

ARTICLE 5 – COMMERCIAL SUPPLIES – PRICE

5.1. Formula Price – General.

[*]

Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

Subject to Sections 5.2 through 5.4, below, during the Royalty Term, the purchase price of each milligram of Compound (expressed as base, on an FCA Charles de Gaulle Airport, Roissy, France, basis) contained in the Finished Product to be purchased by NOVACEA from PIERRE FABRE (the “Formula Price”) during each Commercial Year, shall be an amount in Dollars calculated by dividing A by B where:

A =

the amount determined by multiplying the Net Sales tiers for such Commercial Year by the applicable percentages set forth in the table below:


Net Sales Tiers per Commercial Year		Percentage of Net Sales Tiers
Net Sales £ $[*] million		[*]%
Net Sales above $[] million and < $[] million		[*]%
Net Sales ³ $[*] million		[*]%

For illustration purposes only, for the first $[*] million of Net Sales, the [*]% factor is used, and for the first $[*] million of Net Sales thereafter, the [*]% factor is used. Accordingly, if Net Sales for a Commercial Year are $[*] million, then “A” would equal $[*]; and if Net Sales for a Commercial Year are $[*], then “A” would equal $[*].

B =

the total number of milligrams of Compound (expressed as base) contained in the Licensed Product sold during that Commercial Year in the NOVACEA Territory, said number of milligrams being as indicated on the label of such Licensed Product.

5.2. Generic Competition and Competing Products.

The Parties acknowledge that the sale by NOVACEA of Licensed Product during the Royalty Term may be affected by competition from Third Parties that, for whatever reason, have chosen to compete notwithstanding the PIERRE FABRE Patents in which case, subject to Sections 5.3 and 5.4 below, the following provisions shall apply.

5.2.1. In the event that there are lawful sales of a Generic Product in any Quarter during the Royalty Term, the applicable percentage for the calculation of the Formula Price during such Quarter shall be multiplied by W in the formula W = X × (Y-Z), in which “W” is the applicable percentage, “X” is the applicable percentage set forth above in Section 5.1 1, “Y” is 100% and “Z” is the number of percentage points of Market Share (calculated as provided in Section 11.3.1 (d) of the Patent and Know-How License Agreement), rounded to the nearest whole percentage point, captured by such Generic Product during such Quarter; provided, however, that the applicable percentage of Net Sales payable to PIERRE FABRE shall not be less than [*] percent ([*]%).

[*]

Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

5.2.2. With respect to sales of a Competing Product other than lawful sales of a Generic Product, when such Competing Product takes a Market Share in [*]% for any Quarter in the NOVACEA Territory, the applicable percentage of total Net Sales payable to PIERRE FABRE shall be reduced from [*] percent ([*]%), [*] percent ([*]%) and [*] percent ([*]%) for the three Net Sales Tiers referred to in Section 5.1 to [*] percent ([*]%), [*] percent ([*]%) and [*] percent ([*]%) respectively for such Quarter.

5.3. Application of Formula Price.

The provisions of Sections 5.1 and 5.2 shall be specifically implemented as provided in this Section 5.3.

5.3.1. Tentative Formula Price. With respect to each Commercial Year, one tentative Formula Price per milligram of Compound (expressed as base) shall be set in Dollars for the NOVACEA Territory (the “Tentative Formula Price”). In October of each Commercial Year, NOVACEA will notify PIERRE FABRE in writing of the initial Tentative Formula Price for the following Commercial Year for the NOVACEA Territory. In November of each Commercial Year, NOVACEA will notify PIERRE FABRE of the final Tentative Formula Price for the following Commercial Year. Notification of the final Tentative Formula Price will include information reasonably sufficient to enable PIERRE FABRE to understand how the final Tentative Formula Price was calculated, including information regarding gross sales, Net Sales, expected price increases and reductions to gross sales in the NOVACEA Territory. The Tentative Formula Price so tentatively set shall be applied to all quantities of Finished Product purchased by NOVACEA from PIERRE FABRE during the Commercial Year in question for the NOVACEA Territory. The Tentative Formula Price established pursuant to this Section 5.3.1 shall be calculated on the basis of estimated units of Finished Product to be sold by NOVACEA during the Commercial Year in question in the NOVACEA Territory, and shall be based upon and consistent with the Forecasts delivered pursuant to Section 4.1; and the Final Formula Price established pursuant to Section 5.3.2 below shall be calculated on the basis of Net Sales of Finished Product made by NOVACEA during such Commercial Year.

5.3.2. Final Formula Price and Adjustments. Within sixty (60) days after the close of each Commercial Year, the final Formula Price per milligram of Compound (expressed as base) for the NOVACEA Territory shall be established on the basis of the Net Sales actually accruing from the sale of Finished Product in the NOVACEA Territory and the total quantity of Compound (in milligrams, expressed as base), contained in each dosage form of Finished Product sold by NOVACEA during such Commercial Year in the NOVACEA Territory (the “Final Formula Price”). In any case, the Final Formula Price shall prevail. Any difference between the Tentative Formula Price and Final Formula Price per milligram of Compound (expressed as base) (the “Price Differential”) will be settled as follows: (i) if such Price Differential is in favor of PIERRE FABRE (i.e., the Final Formula Price exceeds the Tentative Formula Price), then such Price Differential will be applied to the total number of milligrams of Compound (expressed as base) contained in the units shipped by PIERRE FABRE to NOVACEA during such Commercial Year and

[*]

Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

the adjustment in value shall be paid by NOVACEA to PIERRE FABRE within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from PIERRE FABRE; and (ii) if such Price Differential is in favor of NOVACEA (i.e., the Tentative Formula Price exceeds the Final Formula Price) then such Price Differential will be applied to the total number of milligrams of Compound (expressed as base) contained in the units shipped by PIERRE FABRE to NOVACEA during such Commercial Year and the adjustment in value shall be credited against royalty payments accrued for the same Commercial Year under Section 11.3 of the Patent and Know-How License Agreement.

5.3.3. Timing of Purchase. Finished Product purchased by NOVACEA prior to the initial Commercial Year shall be deemed to have been purchased as of the first day of the initial Commercial Year but PIERRE FABRE shall invoice NOVACEA for such Finished Product at the Tentative Formula Price established for such Commercial Year pursuant to Section 5.3.1 above.

5.3.4. Packaging Specifications. The Finished Product to be supplied by PIERRE FABRE hereunder shall be packaged according to Packaging Specifications which, at the Effective Date, are identical to those approved in the EU. Should such Packaging Specifications have to be modified, subject to FDA or HC requirements, then NOVACEA shall so inform PIERRE FABRE, whereupon, PIERRE FABRE will have thirty (30) day to inform NOVACEA whether it can supply the Finished Product according to FDA or HC requirements and the incremental costs therefore, such costs to be documented and fully borne by NOVACEA.

However, in case PIERRE FABRE elects not to supply the Finished Product according to FDA or HC requirements, then the Parties will make Diligent Efforts to identify a third party manufacturer to provide secondary packaging services to NOVACEA, with PIERRE FABRE supplying softgel capsules to such third party manufacturer in primary packaging (i.e., blister pack), without any decrease of the Formula Price determined as per Section 5.3.2 hereof.

5.4. Bottom Price.

5.4.1. Calculation of Bottom Price. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, or of any Related Agreements between the Parties hereto, the Tentative Formula Price and Final Formula Price for Finished Product set forth in Sections 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 hereof shall in no event be lower than the Bottom Price. As used herein, subject to Section 5.4.3, “Bottom Price” in respect of Finished Product shall mean an absolute value of [*] Euros (€ [*]) per milligram of Compound (expressed as base) subject to Annual Variation, effective as of January 1, of each year after the Effective Date, according to the Annual Index Adjustment pursuant to Section 3.3(b).

5.4.2. Application of Bottom Price for Launch of Licensed Product. Upon NOVACEA’S issuance of its initial Firm Order for Licensed Product pursuant to Article 4, NOVACEA shall notify PIERRE FABRE of its best estimate of the Formula Price of Licensed Product for the initial Commercial Year. Within sixty (60) days after such notice, PIERRE FABRE will either confirm that it will supply the Finished Product at the Formula Price applicable thereto or notify NOVACEA that it will supply Finished Product at the Bottom Price, and give notice of the Bottom Price, because such Formula Price is lower than Bottom Price.

5.4.3. Application of Bottom Price – General. If at any time the PIERRE FABRE Formula Price is lower than the Bottom Price, the Parties, directly or through the JCC, shall consult to discuss the commercial viability of continued supply by PIERRE FABRE. NOVACEA shall continue to purchase Finished Product from PIERRE FABRE at the Bottom Price so long as such Bottom Price does not exceed [*] percent ([*]%) of the actual weighted average net selling price per milligram of Compound (expressed as base) in the NOVACEA Territory determined by dividing the total Net Sales by the total milligrams of Compound (expressed as base) contained in the Net Sales made by NOVACEA, its Affiliates and its permitted sub-licensees during such Commercial Year in the NOVACEA Territory. If the Bottom Price exceeds [*] of the actual weighted average net selling price per milligram of Compound, as set forth above, for two consecutive Quarters, NOVACEA shall so inform PIERRE FABRE in writing (the “First Notice”) whereupon PIERRE FABRE shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of such First Notice to determine whether or not it accepts to continue to supply NOVACEA at [*] percent ([*]%) of the actual weighted average net selling price per milligram of Compound and shall so notify NOVACEA (the “Second Notice”). Should PIERRE FABRE refuse to continue to supply NOVACEA at such price, then, upon receipt of such Second Notice from PIERRE FABRE, NOVACEA shall have the right, upon further notice to PIERRE FABRE (the “Third Notice”), to suspend its obligation hereunder to purchase Finished Product solely from PIERRE FABRE provided that (i) such decision by NOVACEA shall not affect Firm Orders placed by NOVACEA which shall be delivered by PIERRE FABRE as provided in Section 4.1.5 hereof and (ii) such deliveries shall be invoiced by PIERRE FABRE at the Final Formula Price or at the Bottom Price if the Final Formula Price is lower than the Bottom Price. Promptly following such Third Notice from NOVACEA, the Parties shall discuss in good faith means of securing a reliable long term source of supply of Finished Product for NOVACEA at a price mutually acceptable to both Parties, If the Parties are unable to reach a mutually acceptable agreement within thirty (30) days after the date PIERRE FABRE receives such Third Notice from NOVACEA, then (x) NOVACEA shall have no further obligation to purchase its requirements of Placebo, Clinical Product and Finished Product from PIERRE FABRE and (y) PIERRE FABRE shall have no further obligation to supply NOVACEA with its needs and requirements of Placebo, Clinical Product and Finished Product for development and commercial purposes, in all countries of the NOVACEA Territory,

5.4.4. Application of Bottom Price in the event of Generic and Other Unlicensed Competition. In the event that sales of a Generic Product or a Competing Product, or both combined, take a Market Share in excess of [*] percent ([*]%) for any Quarter in any country in the NOVACEA Territory, as determined in accordance with Section 5.2.1 or 5.2.2, above, then NOVACEA shall continue to purchase Finished Product from PIERRE FABRE for sale in such country at the Bottom Price so long as such Bottom Price does not exceed [*] percent ([*]%) of the actual weighted average net selling price per milligram of Compound, determined as provided in Section 5.4.3, above, in such Quarter. If the Bottom Price exceeds [*] percent ([*]%) of the actual weighted average net selling price per milligram of Com pound, as set forth in this Section 5.4.4, for two consecutive Quarters, NOVACEA shall so inform PIERRE FABRE in writing

[*]

Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

(“Notice N°1”) whereupon PIERRE FABRE shall have fifteen (15) days from the date it receives such Notice N°1 to determine whether or not it accepts to continue to supply NOVACEA at [*] percent ([*]%) of the actual weighted average net selling price per milligram of Compound and shall so notify NOVACEA (“Notice N°2”). Should PIERRE FABRE refuse to continue to supply NOVACEA at such conditions, then, upon receipt of such Notice N°2 from PIERRE FABRE, NOVACEA shall have the right, upon further notice to PIERRE FABRE (“Notice N°3), to suspend its obligation hereunder to purchase Finished Product solely from PIERRE FABRE, provided that (i) such decision by NOVACEA shall not affect Firm Orders placed by NOVACEA which shall be delivered by PIERRE FABRE as provided in Section 4.1.5 hereof and (ii) such deliveries shall be invoiced by PIERRE FABRE at the Final Formula Price or at the Bottom Price if the Final Formula Price is lower than the Bottom Price. Promptly following PIERRE FABRE’s receipt of Notice N°3 from NOVACEA, the Parties shall discuss in good faith means of securing a reliable long term source of supply of Finished Product for NOVACEA at a price mutually acceptable to both Parties. If the Parties are unable to reach a mutually acceptable agreement within thirty (30) days after the date of such Notice N°3 from NOVACEA then (x) NOVACEA shall have no further obligation to purchase its requirements of Placebo, Clinical Product and Finished Product from PIERRE FABRE and (y) PIERRE FABRE shall have no further obligation to supply NOVACEA with its needs and requirements of Placebo, Clinical Product and Finished Product for development and commercial purposes, in all countries of the NOVACEA Territory.

5.4.5. Termination of Supply by PIERRE FABRE. Notwithstanding Sections 5.4.3 and 5.4.4, above, in the event that the Formula Price falls below [*] percent ([*]%) of the Bottom Price determined as provided in Section 5.4.1, above, in two consecutive Quarters, PIERRE FABRE shall have the right upon notice to NOVACEA to terminate continued supply of Finished Product to NOVACEA provided that such termination shall be effective only upon establishment by NOVACEA of a reasonably acceptable alternative source of supply, and the receipt by such alternative source of supply of all government approvals necessary to lawfully produce Finished Product in accordance with the Specifications. Until such conditions are satisfied, PIERRE FABRE shall continue to supply Finished Product to NOVACEA at [*] percent ([*]%) of the Bottom Price.

7.3. Indemnification Procedures.

(a)

The Party seeking indemnification under Sections 7.1 or 7.2 (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give notice to the Party providing such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim, or commencement of any suit, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought under such Section promptly after receipt of notice from a Third Party of the assertion of such claim or the commencement of such suit, action or proceeding. In the event indemnification is sought with respect to a direct claim by the Indemnified Party, notice shall be given within sixty (60) days of the discovery of the event, action, or state of facts for which indemnification is sought. With respect to Third-Party claims, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled at its own expense to participate in or, to the extent that it shall wish to do so, to assume the defense with its own counsel of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume such defense, it shall select counsel for and be liable to the

Indemnified Party for fees of counsel. Failure to give notice in a timely manner shall relieve the Indemnifying Party only to the extent it is actually prejudiced by such delay.

(b)

In the event that the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that representation of both Parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to an actual or potential conflict of interest between them, or that there are legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, then counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, if the Indemnified Party so elects, to conduct the defense to the extent reasonably determined by such counsel to be necessary to protect the interests of the Indemnified Party at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.

(c)

Whether or not the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any Third-Party claim, suit, action or proceeding, it shall not be liable for any compromises or settlement of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding effected without its consent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. The Parties agree to cooperate to the fullest extent possible in connection with any third-Party claim, suit, action or proceeding for which indemnification is or may be sought under this Agreement.

7.4. Subrogation.

In the event the Indemnifying Party makes any payment pursuant to its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, it shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party to pursue any claim to receive payment or other consideration from any other third Party which may be liable with respect to such claim, suit, action or proceeding for which indemnification was provided. The Indemnified Party shall execute and deliver such instruments and agreements and take such other action as may be required to subrogate the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party’s rights to receive such payment or consideration.

7.5. Indemnification not Cumulative.

NOVACEA’S rights under this Article 7 and its rights under Article 19 of the Patent and Know-How License Agreement shall not be cumulative.

Such excuse from liability shall be effective only to the extent and duration of the event(s) causing the failure or delay in performance or the direct results from such event(s).

Where reasonably possible, the Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party of the Receiving Party’s intent to make such disclosure of Confidential Information pursuant to the provision of the preceding sentence sufficiently prior to making such disclosure so as to allow the Disclosing Party adequate time to take whatever action the Disclosing Party may deem to be appropriate to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information or limit the scope of the disclosure (with respect to which the receiving Party shall reasonably cooperate with the disclosing Party). In no event, however, shall the Receiving Party’s disclosure of Confidential Information to a court, government agency or instrumentality, Regulatory Authority, or other authorized party pursuant to a subpoena or other compulsory process, be regarded in and of itself as making such Confidential Information publicly known, available by publication or in the public domain (unless and until published or made available to
