The plan documentation will outline the plan payment components as well as terms and conditions for participation in the plan.   IC results data will be calculated based on monthly data provided by Client.  inVentiv will develop scorecards to document the field performance to the approved plan. Typically, field forces are paid bonus on a quarterly cycle which commences post the receipt of sales data for the final month of the quarter. Client will be provided with territory level results which aggregate to the national level.  This allows for budget analysis, accrual processing and approval of results findings or adjustments to plan in the event of major windfalls or shortfalls outside the field control.  Post concurrence of the performance results, inVentiv will process IC payouts through the inVentiv payroll system.  
 
    inVentiv will develop and administer the incentive compensation (“IC”) plan through the following phases:

EXHIBIT C
COMPENSATION - FIXED FEES, VARIABLE FEES AND PASS-THROUGH COSTS 

I.    FIXED FEES
(a)    Implementation Fee
Client shall pay inVentiv $307,922 for implementation fee associated with performance of the Services.

(b)    Fixed Monthly Fee
Commencing on the date of hire of the first Project Team member Client shall pay inVentiv a Fixed Monthly Fee as follows:

	
		
	Period
	Fixed Monthly Fee

	Year One
	[†]

	Year Two
	[†]

For clarity, the Implementation Fee and Fixed Monthly Fee shall be the total compensation paid by Client to inVentiv for performing the Services.  Unless expressly set forth herein, including in Section II of this Exhibit C, inVentiv shall be responsible for any costs associated with performing the Services.  

(c)    Salary Reconciliation

The parties agree that the Fixed Monthly Fees set forth in Section I (b), above, are based on the annual salary per inVentiv Sales Representative of $[†] in Year One and $[†] in Year Two (the “Annual Salary”).  When calculated on a quarterly basis such salary shall be $[†] in Year One and $[†] for Year Two (the “Quarterly Salary”).  inVentiv will reconcile such salaries (excluding incentive compensation) on a calendar quarter basis as follows:  for each inVentiv Sales Representative, the applicable Quarterly Salary shall be multiplied by the ratio of  (A) the aggregate actual days worked (as determined in accordance with inVentiv human resources policies then in effect) by such inVentiv Sales Representative in such calendar quarter to (B) the total working days in such calendar quarter (as determined in accordance with inVentiv human resources policies then in effect) (each a “Calculated Quarterly Salary”).  The Parties agree that the Quarterly Salary does not include bonuses for the inVentiv Sales Representatives (or the applicable employer portion of taxes) for such calendar quarter.  If such reconciliation shows that the inVentiv’s Calculated Quarterly Salary is below the Quarterly Salary for such Sales Representative, then inVentiv shall issue a credit (or, in the case of the final quarter of the Term, 

† DESIGNATES PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT THAT HAVE BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION
38

a payment) for the entire amount of such difference to Client within thirty (30) days of the close of such calendar quarter.  If such reconciliation shows that inVentiv’s Calculated Quarterly Salary is above the Quarterly Salary for such Sales Representative, then inVentiv shall bill the difference to Client.  For clarity, any credits arising from a vacancy (whether such vacancy occurs before or after the Deployment Date) or for any Block Conversion will be calculated in accordance with Section I(d) below. 

(d)    Vacancy Credit; Block Conversion Credit

inVentiv agrees to fill vacant territories as requested by Client.  inVentiv will continue to invoice Client the amounts set forth above as Fixed Monthly Fee during any such vacancy period.  inVentiv will provide a monthly credit to Client, prorated for the number of business days per month that a territory is vacant, for each vacant territory that is vacant for a period of time that exceeds one (1) month, until such territory is filled, as set forth in the table below.

In addition, if Client exercises its rights to a Block Conversion in accordance with Section 5(b) of the Project Agreement, inVentiv will provide a monthly credit to Client for such Sales Representative(s) for the remainder of the Term, prorated for the month in which such Conversion takes place for the number of business days per month that such position has been Converted, as set forth in the table below.  
	
			
	 
	Year One
	Year Two

	Monthly Vacancy or Block Conversion Credit
	[†]
	[†]

    
II.    PASS-THROUGH COSTS
In addition to the Fixed Fees and subject to the terms and conditions of the MSA and PA, including the remainder of this Section II, certain expenses will be charged to Client on a pass-through basis.  These expenses will be billed to Client at actual cost.  The categories of permissible pass-through costs are as follows:

		
	-  
	Bonuses for the inVentiv Sales Representatives (plus applicable employer portion of taxes)

All meetings for which inVentiv may seek reimbursement shall be held only at Client’s 

† DESIGNATES PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT THAT HAVE BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION
39

request, and all marketing costs are to be agreed-upon by the Parties.  Any travel and entertainment expenses shall be subject to inVentiv’s travel and entertainment policies and procedures.  Without the prior written approval of Client, Client shall not be responsible for reimbursement for any travel or entertainment expenses in excess of or in violation of any applicable inVentiv travel and entertainment policies and procedures reviewed and approved by Client.  

III.    INVOICES; BILLING TERMS

The Implementation Fee shall be paid in full on or before June 30, 2014.  Up to but not exceeding one (1) month of Fixed Monthly Fee shall be invoiced to Client by inVentiv upon the Deployment Date, provided, however, that inVentiv shall, unless such amount has been credited to Client against subsequent Fixed Monthly Fees owed to Client, repay to Client any such amount paid to inVentiv by Client upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement.  Commencing in the month of the Deployment Date, Client will be billed monthly on the first day of the month the amount stated above as the Fixed Monthly Fee.  For purposes of clarity, the intent is that inVentiv should receive payment of the Fixed Monthly Fee on the first day of the month for which the payment applies (e.g., payment received June 1 for June activities), and in no event shall Client be charged a Fixed Monthly Fee more than once for a given month.  Pass-through Costs will be billed to Client at actual cost as incurred by inVentiv.  
Except as set forth in the preceding paragraph, payments are due within thirty (30) days of Client’s receipt of each applicable invoice from inVentiv.  If an invoice is not paid within thirty (30) days of Client’s receipt, inVentiv reserves the right to impose a finance charge of the lesser of 1.0% (calculated on a monthly basis) or the maximum amount permitted by law of all amounts due.  

IV.    RECORDS AND AUDITS

During the Term and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, inVentiv shall keep and maintain complete and accurate records regarding matters relevant to payment of fees or other compensation under this Project Agreement (including records of the number of days worked by inVentiv Sales Representatives, pass-through costs, bonus compensation or incentive compensation).  Upon Client’s request and at Client’s expense, inVentiv shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm selected by Client and reasonably acceptable to inVentiv to have access during normal business hours to inVentiv’s records as necessary to determine the correctness and completeness of such records and the amounts paid in accordance with such records.  Such audit shall not take place more than twice a year.  If such audit concludes that additional payments were owed or that excess payments were made during such period, the owing Party shall pay the additional payments or the receiving Party shall reimburse such excess payments, within sixty (60) days after the date on which such accounting firm’s written report is delivered to the Parties.  Each Party shall cooperate with such accounting firm’s investigation, and the results of any investigation under this Section IV shall be made available to both Parties and be deemed the confidential information of both Parties, with both Parties the Disclosing Party and Receiving Party with respect thereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any 

† DESIGNATES PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT THAT HAVE BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION
40

such audit discloses a variance to the detriment of Client of more than [†] percent ([†]%) from the amount of the original payment calculation, inVentiv shall bear the reasonable and documented cost of such audit.
