documentation required in relation to an FDA or other regulatory authority inspection. The cost of any such audit shall be borne by the auditing Party, unless (a) with respect to an audit of payments made hereunder, the audit
reveals that the audited Party has underpaid by five percent (5%) or more, or (b) with respect to an audit of compliance with this Agreement or applicable law, regulation or policy, such audit reveals noncompliance by the audited Party with
this Agreement or any applicable law, regulation or policy due to a failure by the audited Party that is not excused under this Agreement, in which case ((a) or (b)), the audited Party shall reimburse the auditing Party for any third party costs

2.    Pricing: 

a.    JBI will pay Exagen quarterly in arrears a Promotion Fee based on measured unit growth of SIMPONI over a Baseline TRxU in the
Territory. TRxU means Total Prescribed (Rx) Units. 
 b.    The Baseline TRxU for 2019 and first half of 2020 is set forth below. 

c.    “Promotion Fee Income” is defined as the total number of incremental Rx units written above the established Baseline TRxU
for the defined universe during the Measurement Period, multiplied by the agreed upon Promotion Fee per Rx Unit.

 SIMPONI TRxU growth shall be monitored on a monthly basis. Payouts will be calculated and made to Exagen on a Quarterly
schedule in arrears. 
 A sample calculation of a quarterly Promotion Fee is set forth below in Section (A)(2). 

Estimated Promotion Fee 
 Exagen will prepare an estimated
Promotion Fee earned by Exagen on a calendar quarter basis, starting with the end of the first full calendar quarter following the actual start of the Measurement Period. Such estimated Promotion Fee will be accompanied by an invoice for the
Promotion Fee due Exagen, to be paid based on Net 90 day payment terms set forth in Section 3.2. Exagen invoice will be submitted to JBI within 10 calendar days of the end of the quarter. 

 

	*** 	 Certain Confidential Information Omitted 














 True-up Process 

JBI shall provide Exagen with a quarterly reconciliation of the estimated Promotion Fee earned by Exagen. Any amount due back to either JBI or Exagen will be
included in (and may be netted against) the next invoice. 
 Territory 

The final Territory will be comprised of zip codes in which Exagen sales representatives are deployed. 

The Territory may be revised prior to the beginning of each quarter in such cases as Exagen adds or removes zip codes from sales rep coverage. A current
“zip to terr” file should be provided to JBI to substantiate quarterly zip code coverage in the event changes are made. 
 Measurement 

An estimated Baseline TRxU through June 30, 2020 is set forth in Section (A)(1)1 below and shall be
updated by JBI no later than December 15, 2018 based on actual sales, trends and market considerations. Should the Agreement be extended, the Baseline TRxU for the time period after June 30, 2020 will be determined by JBI no later than
June 30, 2020 based on actual sales, trends and market considerations. 
 Adjustment of Baseline TRxU 

The Baseline TRxU may be adjusted quarterly in the event zip codes are added or removed from Exagen’s deployment. 

Should there be a change in SIMPONI® formulary access in any of the following plans, the Baseline
TRxU would be recalculated to adjust historical volume from the affected plan(s):

	*** 	 Certain Confidential Information Omitted 














 JBI will provide Exagen with access (and if necessary a license) to TRxU data. The data, provided by iQVIA
and supplemented with data from select Specialty Pharmacy Providers and to which JBI will also have access (the “TRxU Data”), will be provided to Exagen by JBI at no cost to Exagen through a Third-Party Agreement (“TPA”). The
data will show the TRxU’s written in the Territory. 
 Exagen may use this data to populate internal CRM reports to provide HCP-level TRx volume and trends for their sales representatives. 
 Using this same data, Exagen will calculate monthly
and quarterly reports, for the Territory, of the estimated TRxU growth, which JBI will then verify.

have under law to prevent or limit such disclosure. In addition to the foregoing, Exagen shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent and limit any such disclosure, to otherwise preserve the confidentiality of the Personal Information
and shall cooperate with JBI with respect to any action taken with respect to such request, complaint, order or other document, including to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be
accorded to the Personal Information.

	1	 Definitions 


  


	1.1	 “Adverse Event” (AE) means any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or a clinical-trial
subject administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (for example, an abnormal
















	 	
laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to this medicinal product. 


 

	1.2	 “Adverse Device Effect” (ADE) means an adverse event related to the use of a medical
device. This includes any adverse event resulting from insufficiencies or inadequacies in the instructions for use, the deployment, the implantation, the installation, the operation, or any malfunction of the medical device. This also includes any

	1.3	 “Applicable Law” means the applicable laws, rules, regulations, including any guidelines or
other requirements of any Regulatory Authority in the relevant country of the Territory, and industry guidelines or codes of conduct that may apply to the review and analysis of safety information, the reporting of safety information to Regulatory
Authorities and the maintenance of records thereof. 


  

	1.4	 “Date of First Receipt” means the date of receipt or coming into possession or control of
safety information by, which contains at a minimum a suspect medicinal product and a suspect event i.e. an incomplete case. Unless otherwise indicated in the Applicable Law the Regulatory Clock Start Date or Day Zero for regulatory reporting, is the
date the minimum criteria for reporting as defined by the Applicable Law becomes available (i.e., an identifiable subject/ patient, identifiable reporter, suspect product, and event). 



 

	1.5	 “Incomplete Case” means a case that does not contain minimum criteria for reporting as defined
by the Applicable Law (i.e., an identifiable subject/ patient, identifiable reporter, suspect medicinal product, and event), but at a minimum contains a suspect medicinal product and a suspect event. Such reports are entered on the safety database
as potential cases of value for signal detection purposes.

dose once-monthly self-injectable biologic for treatment of adults. 


  

	1.7	 “Product Quality Complaint” (PQC) Any written, electronic or oral communication that alleges
deficiencies related to the identity, quality, durability, reliability, safety, effectiveness or performance of a product after it is released for distribution. 



Note: Malfunction of a device product is also considered to be a PQC. 

 

	1.8	 “Regulatory Authority” means any applicable federal, national, regional, state, provincial or
local regulatory agencies, departments, bureaus, commissions, councils or other government entities regulating or otherwise exercising authority with respect to the Product in the relevant Territory.

	 	•	 	 Medication error involving the Product with or without patient/consumer exposure to the Product, (e.g. name
confusion) OR that caused an unintended effect or could cause an intended effect (e.g. adult medicine given to a young child), 


  

	 	•	 	 Suspected transmission of an infectious agent via Product, 



 

	 	•	 	 Expired drug use and falsified medicine 



 

	 	•	 	 Off-label use – situations where the Product is intentionally used
for a medical purpose not in accordance with the authorized product information 



Off-label use without an associated AE, Special Situation, UE, ADE or AEPQC should be collected only
when it is specifically and voluntarily brought to the attention of the Exagen in an unsolicited manner by a reporter e.g., Health Care Professional or data obtained from databases where off-label use may be
