by REPLIDYNE in such country but for the license granted herein, the royalty
rate in such country shall be reduced to [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of the
royalty rates pursuant to Sections 6.2.1 and 6.2.2(a). Additionally, if
during the Term of this Agreement any product containing any form of

royalty rate on Net Sales of branded Drug Product (i.e., sold using the
Trademark) for such country shall be reduced to [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%)
of the royalty rates pursuant to Sections 6.2.1 and 6.2.2(a); provided that

*** ], then, the licenses granted to REPLIDYNE pursuant to this Agreement
shall be deemed to include the sale and distribution by REPLIDYNE and its
sublicensees of such Drug Product as a generic Drug Product (i.e., without
use of the

Trademark) in such country of the Territory. REPLIDYNE shall pay to DAP, on
each such generic Drug Product an amount equal to [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%)
of the profits on such sales. REPLIDYNE shall not exercise the foregoing
license if it appears the generic equivalent to the Drug Product [ *** ].
However, Replidyne or its sublicensee may nevertheless exercise the
foregoing license if, [ *** ]. If sales of the generic equivalent of Drug
Product terminate for any reason, then Replidyne and its sublicensees shall

extent to do so would be prohibited by law or would violate best industry
practices, cease the active promotion for sale of the generic product. For
purposes of this paragraph “profits” means an amount equal to (a) Net Sales
of such generic Drug Product, minus (b) Cost of Goods (as defined in

enable the determination of the royalties payable to DAP. At DAP’s request,
REPLIDYNE shall make such records for the preceding three (3) year period
available for inspection and audit at a mutually convenient time within
normal business hours by an independent auditor appointed by DAP subject to
the reasonable approval of REPLIDYNE, and who shall enter into a
confidentiality agreement in favor of REPLIDYNE, for the purpose of
verifying the reports and payments submitted to DAP. Said inspection and
audit shall be limited to no more than one (1) time during each twelve (12)
month period. DAP shall bear the cost of any such inspection and audit,
provided that if the inspection and audit shows an underpayment of royalties
of more than five percent (5%) of the amount paid for the audited period,
then REPLIDYNE shall promptly reimburse DAP for all costs incurred in
connection with such inspection and audit and shall promptly pay the amount
of the underpayment.”




8. A new Section 6.2.8 shall be added to Article 6 and be written as:




               “6.2.8 [ *** ] Sharing. If [ *** ] for all Drug
Product in the Territory exceeds on a calendar quarter basis (i) [ *** ]
percent ([ *** ]%) of Net Sales at any time prior to the [ *** ] anniversary
of the Launch or (ii) [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%) of Net Sales during any
calendar quarter thereafter (the “[ *** ] Threshold”), the royalty payable
by REPLIDYNE to DAP under Section 6.2.1 for such calendar quarter

period. For purposes of this section, [ *** ]. If the royalty payable
by REPLIDYNE to DAP under Section 6.2.1 for such calendar quarter is
necessary to be reduced as described hereof, REPLIDYNE shall provide DAP,
within sixty (60) days after the end of such calendar quarter, a report
showing the total reduction of the royalty for such calendar quarter in
accordance with the calculation method stipulated above, with detailed
information as is reasonably necessary to determine how the amount of such
reduction was calculated.”




9. Section 8.3 “Failure to Meet Sales and Marketing Plan” shall be replaced in its entirety.
The new Section 8.3 shall be written as:



               “8.3 Failure to Meet Sales and Marketing Plan.




          (a) Commencing with the second calendar year in which REPLIDYNE and its
sublicensees have been selling Drug Product in the Territory for the full twelve
(12) months of such calendar year, and for the following four (4) calendar years
thereafter, in the event that REPLIDYNE and its sublicensees, fail for two (2)
consecutive calendar years to substantially perform the planned sales and
marketing activities of the Drug Product stipulated in the Sales and Marketing
Plan, including the sales forecast in the Sales and Marketing Plan, for reasons
other than those beyond their reasonable control, DAP shall so notify REPLIDYNE
and the Parties shall promptly discuss the matter in good faith for up to [ ***
] months following REPLIDYNE’s receipt of such notice. Within [ *** ] days
after expiration of such [ *** ] month period, if REPLIDYNE does not pay to DAP
an amount equal to the difference between (i) the royalties that would have been
due to DAP under Section 6.2.1 had REPLIDYNE achieved [ *** ] the Sales
and Marketing Plan for such two (2) consecutive calendar years and (ii) the
royalties paid to DAP based on actual sales, or the Parties do not otherwise
agree, upon written notice to REPLIDYNE, DAP may alter the exclusive license
granted to REPLIDYNE under this Agreement to become a non-exclusive license. In
calendar years in which REPLIDYNE and its sublicensees have been selling Drug
Product for a full twelve (12) months, “substantially perform” shall mean [ ***
].




          (b) If the license becomes non-exclusive, REPLIDYNE shall no longer have
the first right under Section 10.2 to bring a suit or action for infringement of
the Patents in the Territory and the Parties shall no longer be bound by Article
15. In addition, REPLIDYNE shall grant to DAP, a non-exclusive, royalty-bearing
license to use the information, know-how, and documentation generated by
REPLIDYNE under this Agreement in connection with the development and
commercialization of Drug Product. DAP may sublicense the foregoing rights upon
prior written notice to REPLIDYNE. In consideration for the rights granted to
DAP, DAP shall pay REPLIDYNE a royalty equivalent to [ *** ] percent ([ *** ]%)
of net sales of Drug Product by DAP, its Affiliates or sublicensees.”

rights of a Party disclosed in material proposed for such publication or

by law or best industry practices; provided that all proposed disclosures and
publications will be submitted for expeditious review by the other Party and due
regard will be given to the comments of each Party, the maintenance of
confidentiality of Confidential Information of each Party and allowing time for
