Each Party’s JCC representatives will be appropriately knowledgeable regarding commercialization of pharmaceutical products and the matters within the JCC’s authority. Each Party will designate one of its representatives as the co-chairperson of the JCC.  Each Party’s co-chairperson will be responsible, on an alternating basis, for scheduling meetings, preparing and circulating an agenda in advance of each meeting, preparing and issuing minutes of each meeting within thirty (30) days thereafter, revising such minutes to reflect timely comments thereon, and overseeing the ratification of such revised minutes.

Either Party may also call a special meeting of the JCC (by videoconference, teleconference, or in person) by providing at least five (5) business days’ prior written notice to the other Party if such Party reasonably believes that a significant matter must be addressed prior to the next scheduled meeting.

 

(ii)                             Each Party may, upon prior notice to the other Party: (1) have representative(s) from its organization attend JCC meetings as regular participants and (2) invite other subject matter experts to any JCC meeting on an as needed basis; provided, however, that such attendees (A) shall not vote or otherwise participate in the decision-making process of the JCC and (B) shall be bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use equivalent to those set forth in Article 10.

(iv)                              In the event the JCC is unable to reach consensus with regard to any matter to be decided by the JCC within [ * ] days after such matter has been brought to the JCC’s attention, the Spectrum representatives to the JCC may, within [ * ] days thereafter, request Executive Mediation in accordance with Section 14.2(a); provided, that such Executive Mediation shall not be required to continue for a period of more than [ * ] days.  If Spectrum invokes Executive Mediation pursuant to this Section 2.3(d)(iv) and the Executives are unable to resolve the matter through such Executive Mediation within such [ * ] day period, the decision of Eagle’s Executive with respect to such matter shall be final and binding on the Parties, subject to Section 2.3(d)(ii) and (iii).

 

(e)                                  Subcommittees.  From time to time, the JCC may establish and delegate specific matters or duties within its responsibilities to subcommittees or working groups (each a “Subcommittee”), the composition of which shall consist of an equal number of representatives from Spectrum and Eagle. Employees or consultants of either Party who are not members of a Subcommittee may attend meetings of such Subcommittee on an as needed basis; provided, however, that such attendees (i) shall not vote on Subcommittee voting matters and (ii) shall be bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use equivalent to those set forth in Article 10.

Each initial Commercialization Plan shall be finalized and approved as soon as practicable but in any event not less than [ * ] days prior to the Launch Date of the applicable Product; provided that, if Approval to market and sell a Product in the Territory occurs before February 1, 2016, the JCC will prioritize finalizing the Commercialization Plan for such Product.  Either Party shall have the right to propose amendments or updates to any then-current Commercialization Plan by written notice to the other Party; provided that all such amendments and updates must be reviewed and approved by the JCC in accordance with Section 2.3.

 

(b)                                 Content.  All Commercialization Plans will be transparent and specific so that Eagle and Spectrum can coordinate and objectively measure performance.  At a minimum, each Commercialization Plan shall contain:

ARTICLE III

 

SPECTRUM COMMERCIALIZATION RESPONSIBILITIES; RESTRICTIONS

 

3.1                               Promotion Activities. Commencing on the Launch Date of each Product (on a Product-by-Product basis) and continuing throughout the Term, the CAM Team shall Promote such Product in the Territory to the Target Prescribers/Accounts in accordance with the then-current applicable Commercialization Plan and the terms of this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, Spectrum shall: (a) employ sufficient number of CAMs, and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that such CAMs devote the necessary time exclusively Promoting the Products, in each case as necessary to meet the FTE Requirements and the CAM Allocation; and (b) perform Details in accordance with the targeting, positioning and frequency of Details set forth in the Commercialization Plan.

 

3.2                               Pre-Launch and Other Commercialization Activities.  If and to the extent set forth in a Commercialization Plan (on a Product-by-Product basis), Spectrum shall conduct activities in preparation for launch of such Product and other Commercialization activities in accordance with the then-current applicable Commercialization Plan and the terms of this Agreement, including Section 5.2. Without limiting the foregoing, if and as set forth in a Commercialization Plan and to the extent compliant with Applicable Laws, both Parties’ compliance policies and procedures and the terms of this Agreement, CAMs may provide Other Materials[ * ] to Target Prescribers/Accounts and NAMs or other Spectrum Personnel may assist Eagle with contracting strategy.

Spectrum may not subcontract with any Third Parties (including any contract sales organization) to perform any of the Promotion or other Commercialization activities to be performed by Spectrum under this Agreement, unless such subcontracting has been approved by Eagle in writing in advance, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Spectrum shall provide all information requested by Eagle related to any potential subcontractor in order for Eagle to evaluate Spectrum’s request to subcontract. In all cases, Spectrum shall: (a) ensure that all permitted subcontractors are bound by written

obligations as protective of the Product and Eagle as the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as applicable to such subcontractors; (b) oversee the performance by its permitted subcontractors of the subcontracted activities; and (c) remain responsible and fully liable for the performance (and/or non-performance) of any activities by any of its subcontractors in connection with this Agreement as if such activities had been performed by Spectrum itself.

 

3.4                               Maintenance of CAM Team.

 

(a)                                 Commencing on March 1, 2016 and at all times thereafter during the Term, except with Eagle’s prior written consent (which Eagle may grant or withhold in its discretion) and pursuant to this Section 3.4, Spectrum shall maintain thirty-two (32) FTEs within the CAM Team, and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to employ and assign CAMs with substantially the same experience as the individual CAMs who make up the CAM Team as of the Effective Date to Promote and Commercialize the Products, subject to voluntary resignations by CAMs or terminations or reassignments of individual CAMs by Spectrum for reason of a CAM’s failure to achieve applicable performance requirements or otherwise in the ordinary course in accordance with Spectrum’s applicable HR policies, including for cause (collectively, “Ordinary Course Terminations and Replacements”). In the event an individual who is a member of the 32-FTE CAM Team as of March 1, 2016 voluntarily resigns from Spectrum or is terminated or reassigned by Spectrum as a result of Ordinary Course Terminations and Replacements, Spectrum shall promptly (but in any event within [ * ] days) replace such individual with a new CAM who substantially meets the qualifications set forth in Exhibit A (as the same may be amended from time to time by mutual written agreement of the Parties). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Spectrum shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Section 3.4 if Spectrum fails to replace a CAM within the foregoing [ * ] day period so long as (i) the applicable Revenue Threshold in the aggregate for both the [ * ] Product and the [ * ] Product is achieved (on a pro rata basis) during such [ * ] day period, (ii) Spectrum is using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to replace the CAM, and (iii) Spectrum replaces the CAM within [ * ] days after the CAM resigns or is terminated or reassigned as a result of Ordinary Course Terminations and Replacements.  For clarity, Spectrum will be in breach of this Section 3.4 if Spectrum fails to replace any CAM in accordance with this Section 3.4(a) within the [ * ]-day or [ * ]-day period (as applicable) after a CAM resigns or is terminated or reassigned as a result of Ordinary Course Terminations and Replacements and such failure is deemed to be material by Eagle in its reasonable discretion.

(b)                                 During the Term, Spectrum shall not implement any reduction-in-force directed at the CAM Team or any other broad-based layoffs, reassignments or restructuring, in each case, directed at the CAM Team (including as a result of or following any Change of Control of Spectrum) (each, a “CAM Team Break-Up”), unless agreed upon in writing in advance by Eagle in its discretion.  For the avoidance of doubt, any CAM Team Break-Up during the Term, without Eagle’s prior written consent, will be a breach of this Section 3.4.

 

(c)                                  In the event Spectrum breaches this Section 3.4, Eagle shall have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion and effective upon written notice thereof by Eagle to Spectrum, to (i) on a Product-by-Product basis, convert the license granted to Spectrum under Section 2.1(a) to a non-exclusive license (and upon delivery of such notice such license shall automatically be deemed non-exclusive with respect to such Product without any further action or amendment by the Parties), and, without limiting the foregoing, Eagle shall have the right thereafter to Promote and otherwise Commercialize the applicable Product(s) in the Territory by itself or with or through a Third Party or otherwise, or (ii) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2(b).

 

3.5                               Non-Competition.

 

(a)                                 During the Term, Spectrum shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (a) market, Promote, sell, distribute or accept orders for the sale of any product that has the same “indications and usage” as identified on its package insert as any Product in the Territory (“Competing Product”), or (b) assist or cooperate in any way with any other Person in connection with the marketing, Promotion, selling, distribution or acceptance of orders for the sale of any Competing Product in the Territory; provided, however that the foregoing restriction shall not apply with respect to any Competing Product (i) owned or controlled by Spectrum as of the Effective Date as disclosed by Spectrum to Eagle prior to the Effective Date, or (ii) of a Third Party that becomes an acquirer, surviving entity or Affiliate of Spectrum as a result of a Change of Control of Spectrum if such Third Party was, prior to such Change of Control, already marketing, Promoting, selling, distributing or accepting orders for the sale of such Competing Product in the Territory. Spectrum acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Section 3.5(a) are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Eagle and agrees not to contest such restrictions in any proceeding.

 

(b)                                 The Parties will use reasonable efforts to mitigate any risks of potential non-compliance with antitrust laws arising from or relating to this Agreement. In the event of a Change of Control of either Party which, in light of this Agreement, might give rise to potential non-compliance with any antitrust laws, such Party shall give notice to the other Party at the earliest practicable date. If the other Party believes, on the advice of counsel, that continuation of this Agreement following such Change of Control may result in potential non-compliance with applicable antitrust laws, the Parties will discuss in good faith measures to be taken to address such potential non-compliance, and if the Parties are unable to agree on such measures within [ * ] days, the other Party will have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2(f) or Section 12.2(g) (as applicable).

8.3          Eagle’s Audit Rights Relating to Spectrum’s Activities.

 

(a)           Right to Audit.  During the Term, and upon reasonable prior notice from Eagle, Spectrum shall afford to Eagle reasonable access during normal business hours (and at such other times as the Parties may mutually agree) to inspect and audit the relevant books, records and other information of Spectrum in order to monitor Spectrum’s compliance with its obligations under the Commercialization Plan and the terms of this Agreement and to verify that Spectrum’s Promotion and other Commercialization activities were accurately reported and conducted in compliance with this Agreement.  Such audit shall occur no more than [ * ] during any calendar year, except that Eagle may conduct more frequent inspections and audits for “cause” at any time that Eagle learns of any material non-compliance (or of any condition that Eagle determines is reasonably likely to result in material non-compliance) with the Commercialization Plan or the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 8.3(a), Eagle may conduct such audit (i) itself, or by an independent certified public accountant appointed by Eagle at its expense and reasonably acceptable to Spectrum, by auditing the relevant records (including the Account Management System) of Spectrum and its Affiliates at Spectrum’s United States facilities; (ii) by conducting surveys of the Target Prescribers/Accounts; and/or (iii) by direct observation of any such Promotion activity.  Spectrum shall keep and maintain complete and accurate records of all Promotion and other Commercialization activities conducted by Spectrum in accordance with Section 8.4.

 

(b)           Audit Results.  All records made available for audit pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of Spectrum.  In the event that an audit establishes that there was an error in Promotion activities (including number of FTEs or the or time spent conducting Promotion activities) reported by Spectrum hereunder, Spectrum shall promptly (but in any event no later than [ * ] days after Spectrum’s receipt of the audit report so concluding) provide a corrected report to Eagle.  Eagle shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses a downward adjustment of the number of FTEs shown by such inspection of more than [ * ] of the number reported in such statement, in which case Spectrum shall reimburse Eagle for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Eagle in connection with such audit.

 

8.4          Maintenance of Books and Records.  Each Party shall maintain complete and accurate books and records in sufficient detail, in accordance with all Applicable Laws, to enable verification of the performance of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement, including all Detailing, Promotion and Product Training. Such books and records shall be deemed to be the Confidential Information of the maintaining Party and shall be maintained by such Party for the latest to occur of: (i) a period of [ * ] years after the end of each calendar year in the Term, (ii) longer if required by Applicable Laws or such Party’s document management program, or (iii) until the final resolution of any audit or dispute as to which such records relate.

8.5          Payment Audits.

 

(a)           Right to Audit.  Either Party (herein, the “Auditing Party”) may demand, no more than [ * ] for any calendar year in the Term, an audit of the relevant books and records of the other Party (herein, the “Audited Party”) in order to verify the Audited Party’s reports on financial matters addressed in this Agreement, which shall include, without limitation, Spectrum’s right to audit Eagle’s books and records relating to calculation of Net Sales and of the Performance Bonus payable to Spectrum and Eagle’s right to audit Spectrum’s books and records relating to the Base Fee and Commercialization Support Costs.  Upon no less than [ * ] days’ prior written notice to the Audited Party by the Auditing Party, the Audited Party shall grant reasonable access to members of a nationally-recognized independent certified public accounting firm selected by the Auditing Party (but not the auditor that conducts or has within the past three years conducted the audit of the Auditing Party’s financial statements) to the relevant books and records of the Audited Party in order to conduct a review or audit thereof.  Such access shall be permitted only during normal business hours.  The auditor will execute a written confidentiality agreement with the Audited Party and will disclose to the Auditing Party only such information necessary or relevant to verify the Audited Party’s reports on the financial matters addressed in this Agreement.  The accountant shall report its conclusions and calculations to the Auditing Party and the Audited Party; provided, that in no event shall the accountant disclose any information of the Audited Party except to the extent necessary to verify the Audited Party’s reporting and other compliance with the terms of this Agreement.  Such examination shall be conducted (a) at the facility(ies) where such books and records are maintained and (b) without disruption to operations of the Audited Party.  Except as set forth in Section 8.5(b), the Auditing Party shall bear the full cost of the performance of any such audit.  All inspections made under this Section 8.5 shall be made no later than [ * ] years after the reports that are the subject of the investigation were made.

 

(b)           Audit Results. If as a result of any audit of the books and records of the Audited Party under this Section 8.5, it is shown that the Audited Party’s payments to the Auditing Party under this Agreement with respect to the period of time audited were less than the amount which should have been paid to the Auditing Party pursuant to this Agreement, then the Audited Party shall pay to the Auditing Party the amount of such shortfall within [ * ] days after the Auditing Party’s demand therefor.  If as a result of any audit of the books and records of Audited Party it is shown that the Auditing Party’s payments to the Audited Party under this Agreement with respect to the period of time audited were more than the amount which should have been paid to the Audited Party pursuant to this Agreement, then the Audited Party shall reimburse to the Auditing Party the amount of such overpayment within [ * ] days after the Auditing Party’s demand therefor.  In addition, if any amount of underpayment by the Audited Party or overpayment by the Auditing Party is more than [ * ] of the amount which should have been paid pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the period in question, then the Audited Party shall also reimburse the Auditing Party for its documented, reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the audit.

9.1          Pharmacovigilance.

 

(a)           Pharmacovigilance Agreement.  In conjunction with this Agreement, Eagle and Spectrum (under the guidance of their respective pharmacovigilance departments, or equivalents thereof) shall enter into one or more separate safety data exchange agreement(s) (each, a “Pharmacovigilance Agreement”) in order to identify and finalize the responsibilities that the Parties shall employ to comply with each Party’s respective safety obligations (including Adverse Event reporting) for each of the Products in the Territory in accordance with all Applicable Laws and consistent with the provisions of this Section 9.1.  Additionally, promptly after the Effective Date, the Parties shall exchange contact information for their respective employees or agents who are responsible for Adverse Event reporting.

 

(b)           Eagle Responsibilities.  Eagle shall have primary responsibility for pharmacovigilance activities related to the Products in the Territory.

(c)           Spectrum Responsibilities.

In addition, throughout the Term, Spectrum agrees to notify Eagle within one (1) day of relevant information, if any, that Spectrum obtains during its performance of the obligations hereunder concerning a side effect, injury, toxicity or sensitivity reaction, or an unexpected incident, and the severity thereof, whether or not determined to be attributable to the Product (“Adverse Event”), where such Adverse Event is: (i) serious or unexpected and associated with the clinical uses, studies, investigations, tests and marketing of any Product; or (ii) non-serious and spontaneously reported in connection with the marketing of any Product in the Territory.  “Serious” as used in this Section refers to an experience which is fatal or life threatening, results in a persistent or significant disability or incapacity, in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization; or is a congenital anomaly, a birth defect, a cancer, or the result of an overdose (whether

As between the Parties, Eagle shall be responsible for reporting of, and shall report, regulatory matters regarding the manufacture, distribution, promotion and safety of the Product (including Adverse Events and Product Quality Complaints) to or with the FDA and/or other relevant Regulatory Authorities in the Territory, as applicable.  For clarity, the foregoing shall not limit Spectrum’s obligations under Applicable Laws to report its relevant Promotion activities under this Agreement, including Spectrum’s reporting obligations under Applicable Laws with respect to transparency reporting, as described in Section 5.4.

this Section 13.7 to the contrary, the restrictions set forth herein shall not apply to: (a) circumstances where an employee of Spectrum initiates contact with Eagle with regard to possible employment; (b) generalized advertisements of employment opportunities or generalized employee searches by headhunter/search firms (in either case not focused specifically on or directed in any way at an employee of Spectrum); or (c) solicited individuals who have not been employed by Spectrum for at least [ * ] months or whose employment relationship with Spectrum were terminated prior to solicitation.

In no event shall Eagle’s hiring of any Spectrum employee as permitted by this Section 13.7 result in a breach by Spectrum of Section 3.4; provided that Spectrum is using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to replace such employee.

 

13.8                        Warranty Disclaimer.  EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO ANY GOODS, SERVICES, RIGHTS OR OTHER SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH PARTY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

 

13.9                        Limitation of Liability.

The delay or failure of either Party at any time or times to require performance of any provisions shall in no manner affect the rights at a later time to enforce the same.  No waiver by either Party of any condition or of the breach of any term contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct, or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or considered as, a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or of the breach of such term or any other term of this Agreement.

Neither Party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under this Agreement when such failure or delay is beyond the reasonable control of the Party seeking relief from its obligations, including without limitation any of the following causes (but only if such cause is beyond the reasonable control of the Party seeking relief): any act of God, flood, fire, explosion, earthquake, breakdown of plant, shortage of critical equipment, loss or unavailability of manufacturing facilities or material, strike, lockout, labor dispute, casualty or accident, or war, revolution, civil commotion, terrorism and acts of public enemies, blockage or embargo, or any injunction, law, order, proclamation, regulation, ordinance, demand or requirement of any government or of any subdivision, authority or representative of any such government, inability to procure or use materials, labor, equipment, transportation or energy sufficient to meet manufacturing needs without allocation, or any other cause whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to those above enumerated, beyond the reasonable control of the Party seeking relief (“Force Majeure Event”).  In the event that either Party is delayed in the performance of any obligations under this Agreement for reason of any Force Majeure Event, the time for the performance of said obligations shall be extended for the period required by reason of such delay, up to a maximum period of ninety (90) days, after which, if such delay in performance would constitute a material breach of this Agreement in the absence of such Force Majeure Event, the non-affected Party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the other Party.  The Party affected by the Force Majeure Event shall inform the other Party of the beginning of and, if possible, the anticipated ending date of the above causes and the circumstances thereof in writing within fifteen (15) days after the occurrence of such Force Majeure Event.

In addition, unless a context otherwise requires, wherever used: (i) the singular shall include the plural, the plural the singular; (ii) the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders; (iii) the word “notice” shall require notice in writing (whether or not specifically stated) and shall include notices, consents, approvals and other communications contemplated under this Agreement; (iv) the word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall;” (v) the word “including” (and words of similar import) is used without limitation and shall mean “including without limitation;” (vi) the word “day” or “year” or “quarter” shall mean a calendar day or calendar year or calendar quarter, respectively, unless otherwise specified and (vii) provisions that require that a Party, the Parties or the JCC hereunder “agree,” “consent” or “approve” or the like shall require that such agreement, consent or approval be specific and in writing, whether by written agreement, letter or otherwise.

14.12                 Integration; Severability.  This Agreement and the Pharmacovigilance Agreement, together with the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto and thereto, sets forth the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all other agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to such subject matter, including the Confidentiality Agreement to the extent provided in Section 10.4.  If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement are held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be or is taken, such provisions will be considered severed from this Agreement and will not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof.  The Parties will make a good faith effort to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement, as evidenced by the terms of this Agreement, may be realized.

 

14.13                 Further Assurances.  Each of Spectrum and Eagle agrees to duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further ministerial or similar acts and things, including, the filing of such additional assignments, agreements, documents and instruments, as the other Party may at any time and from time to time reasonably request in connection with this Agreement to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of, or to better assure and confirm unto such other Party its rights and remedies under, this Agreement.
