8
250212926 v1
Exhibit 10.6
risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, the Jelmyto Net Sales Revenue Rate will increase by 1.5% (applicable to all tiers) on worldwide annual Jelmyto Net Sales from and after [***] (the “UGN-102 Delay Payment”), which for clarity will be in addition to any rate increase pursuant to the definition of “[***]” below:

By way of example, if worldwide aggregate Jelmyto Net Sales invoiced as of (i) April 12 for the calendar year equal $185,000,000, (ii) April 13 for the calendar year equal $210,000,000, and (c) June 30 for the calendar year equal $295,000,000, then the Jelmyto Net Sales Revenue Rate for such [calendar quarter] shall be equal to the Jelmyto Tier 1 Rate with respect to Jelmyto Net Sales through and including April 12, and 3.0% with respect to Jelmyto Net Sales from April 13 through and including June 30, in each case subject to further adjustment by the UGN-102 Delay Payment.

For clarity, the aggregate maximum increase pursuant to the foregoing is 3.5%, regardless of the number of years the worldwide annual Jelmyto Net Sales are below the applicable Jelmyto Launch Sales Threshold. If annual Jelmyto Net Sales subsequently exceed the applicable Jelmyto Launch Sales Threshold in the following [***], then the Jelmyto Tier 1 Rate will decrease by 3.5% (which decrease would take effect with respect to the calendar year following the Jelmyto Launch Year in which the Jelmyto Launch Sales Threshold is achieved). If, at the end of [***], the Jelmyto Tier 1 Rate has been increased by 3.5% for the [***] calendar year because the annual Jelmyto Net Sales in [***] have not exceeded the Jelmyto Launch Sales Threshold applicable to [***], then the Jelmyto Tier 1 Rate will remain increased by 3.5%;
9
250212926 v1
Exhibit 10.6
provided, however, that if worldwide annual Jelmyto Net Sales exceeds $[***] in any of the [***] through [***] calendar years, then the Jelmyto Tier 1 Rate will decrease by 3.5% (which decrease would take effect with respect to the [***] following the [***] in which such $[***] threshold is first achieved) and remain at such rate thereafter.

“Lien” means any mortgage, lien, pledge, participation interest, charge, adverse claim, security interest, encumbrance or restriction of any kind, including any restriction on use, transfer or exercise of any other attribute of ownership of any kind; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Permitted Licenses shall not be deemed to be a “Lien”.

Upon an Insolvency Event, the Company agrees that the amounts comprising the Payment Obligations shall automatically and immediately accelerate and become immediately due and payable, in each case, without any action or notice by any party or Person and the Payer may take such other steps as it sees fit including enforcing the Liens pursuant to the Security Documents subject to any applicable Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement entered into prior to such date. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) this Agreement is a non-executory contract, (b) the Payer will have fully and completely performed all of its obligations and duties due hereunder as of the Closing, including having paid in cash the entire Pre-Paid Forward Price, which is adequate and proper consideration for the Remaining Obligations outstanding to the Payer under this Agreement, (c) the Company’s Remaining Obligations to the Payer are fully-earned, irrevocable and unconditional, including in an Insolvency Event, (d) in light of the impracticality and difficulty of ascertaining actual damages, the Remaining Obligations are intended to be a reasonable calculation of the actual damages that would be suffered by the Payer as a result of any such Insolvency Event and are not intended to act as a penalty, (e) the process by which the Remaining Obligations are to be determined shall not be considered an action that may be blocked by the automatic stay or any other provision of Bankruptcy Law in an Insolvency Event but rather a fair and rational approach for establishing the value of such amount and (f) it would be inequitable and unjust for all parties hereto and all other interested parties or Persons for any bankruptcy court, other court, Governmental Entity or other Person to not honor or carry out the process for establishing the Remaining Obligations as set forth in this Agreement.
Section 6.10Use of Proceeds; Diligence.

The Company agrees (a) to not apply for or take further grants or funding from the IIA, and (b) to comply with its current obligations to the IIA regarding the commitment to continue to employ at least 75% of its research and development jobs in Israel for a period of at least [***], until [***].
Efforts to Consummate Transactions
. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Company and the Payer will use its commercially reasonable efforts prior to the Closing to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary under applicable law to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each of the Payer and the Company agrees to execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and to take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary in order to consummate or implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
Further Assurances
. After the Closing, the Company and the Payer agree to execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and to take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary in order to give effect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. During the term of the Revenue Participation Right, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, develop, commercialize or Out-License any pharmaceutical product (that is not a Product) incorporating (a) [***] or (b) [***], in each case of (a) or (b) without the prior written consent of the Payer.
Product Collateral
. To the extent additional Product Collateral is created, obtained or acquired by the Company, the Company shall promptly take all such steps to ensure that such additional Product Collateral are subject to the Liens conferred by the Security Documents including by way of entering into any amendments or supplements to the Security Documents or any additional Security Documents to the satisfaction of the Payer and promptly making all such necessary filings and registrations as are required including at the Israeli Registrar of Companies and if in respect of Israeli Patents, with the Israeli Patent Office within the required timeframe and in each case to the satisfaction of the Payer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to take any action to grant or perfect the security interests granted hereby and the Security Documents in any jurisdiction outside of the Covered Jurisdictions.
Escrow
. As promptly as practicable after the date hereof the Company and the Payer shall enter into a mutually acceptable Escrow Agreement, at the sole cost of the Company, and the Payer will deposit the Pre-Paid Forward Price into the Escrow Account. If the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions set forth in ARTICLE 5 occurs, such that the Closing would occur upon release of the Pre-Paid Forward Price, then the parties shall provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to promptly release
37
250212926 v1
Exhibit 10.6
the Pre-Paid Forward Price to the Company. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing Date pursuant to ARTICLE 9, then the Payer shall provide written instructions to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to promptly return the Pre-Paid Forward Price to the Payer.
Section 6.16Certain Tax Matters.
(a)If there is an inquiry by any Governmental Entity of the Payer or the Company related to the treatment of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the parties hereto shall cooperate with each other in responding to such inquiry in a reasonable manner.
(b)The parties acknowledge and agree that, as of the date hereof, all payments by the Company to the Payer and by the Payer to the Company shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes. If any change in applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any payment by the Company, then the Company shall be entitled to withhold and deduct (or cause to be withheld and deducted) from any amount payable under this Agreement to the Payer any Tax that it is required to withhold and deduct under applicable law. The Company shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any amount payable by the Company to the Payer shall be increased as necessary so that after deduction or withholding of any Tax has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Paragraph) (whether as a result of a change in applicable law or otherwise), the Payer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made; provided, however, that if as a result of a Withholding Action by the Payer (including any assignee or successor), the amount of any tax withheld or deducted exceeds the amount of such withholding or deduction that would have been required in the absence of such Withholding Action, the Company shall be required to pay an additional amount only to the extent that the Company would be required to pay any additional amount to the Payer pursuant to this Section 6.16(b) if the Payer had not committed such Withholding Action (except to the extent such excess additional amounts results from a change in applicable law that occurs after the date of such Withholding Action). For purposes of this Section 6.16(b), “Withholding Action” means (i) a permitted assignment of this Agreement (in whole or in part) by the Payer to an Affiliate or a Third Party resident in a different jurisdiction; (ii) a redomiciliation of such party, an assignee or a successor to a jurisdiction other than Ireland or Israel; and (iii) any action taken after the date of this Agreement by the Payer (other than at the request of the Company and other than actions required by applicable law) that causes the representation in Section 4.2(i) to be inaccurate (disregarding for this purpose the reference to “as of the date hereof”).
(c)The parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give or cause to be given to the other party hereto such assistance and such information concerning the reasons for withholding or deduction (including, in reasonable detail, the method of calculation for the deduction or withholding thereof) as may be reasonably necessary to claim exemption therefrom, or credit therefor, or relief (whether at source or by reclaim) therefrom, and, in each case, shall furnish the other party with proper evidence of the taxes withheld and deducted and remitted to the relevant taxing authority.
