2                                                            GRANT AND SCOPE OF RIGHTS

 

2.1                                                  License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Orion hereby grants to USL the exclusive rights and licenses in the Field during the Term (and thereafter, subject to the terms of this Agreement) under Orion Patents and Orion’s Proprietary Information to:

 

(a)                                 undertake further Development of Product in accordance with this Agreement;

 

(b)                                 file and pursue Regulatory Approval’s for Product in the Territory;

 

(c)                                  import, offer to sell, advertise, market, promote, sell, and distribute Product in the Territory under the Trademark;

 

(d)                                 make and have made Product which Orion does not manufacture pursuant to the provisions of Sections 6.5, 6.6 and 20.

 

All such rights and licenses are collectively referred to herein as the “Licenses”.

 

USL hereby accepts the Licenses granted to it herein above and agrees to perform its obligations according and subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement. Orion agrees to perform its obligations under this Agreement according and subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

 

2.2                                                  Sub-Licenses. USL shall have the right to grant sublicenses under the Licenses in the Territory to its Affiliate(s) and Agents, provided that (1) each such sublicense is in the form of a written agreement consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (ii) with respect to any sublicense granted to an Agent, Orion has granted its prior written consent to USL, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. USL warrants that its Affiliates and Agents shall comply with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the extent any of USL’s rights and duties hereunder are sublicensed to any such Affiliate(s) or Agent(s). Furthermore, USL shall remain jointly and severally liable with its licensed Affiliate(s) and Agent(s) for all undertakings assumed by USL under this Agreement as they apply to the sub-licensed territory. USL shall be responsible for complying and ensuring that its Affiliates and Agents, as applicable, comply with all relevant laws, regulations and requirements relating to the importation, packaging, distribution, marketing, promotion and sale and use of Product in the Territory. The Parties acknowledge and agree that a private label distributor is not an Agent or sublicensee hereunder, but shall be a Third Party. Nonetheless, USL’s grant of private label distribution to a Third Party, will be subject to Orion’s prior written consent as to the Third Party private label distributor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In all events requiring Orion’s consent under this Section 2.2, Orion shall be deemed to have given such consent unless, within twenty one (21) days after Orion’s receipt of notice from USL of an event requiring consent hereunder, Orion gives USL written notice stating that Orion is withholding its consent under this Section 2.2 and stating with specificity its reasons for withholding such consent.

 

2.3                                                  Manufacturing License. Except as provided in Sections 6.5, 6.6 and 20 herein below, and subject to the licenses granted to USL pursuant to Section 2.1(c), it is expressly understood and agreed that the grant of rights to USL under this Agreement excludes any rights whatsoever for USL or any of its Affiliates or Agents to manufacture any Product under any of the Orion Proprietary Information or Orion Patents.

2.4                                                  No Implied License. Any rights not expressly granted herein by Orion are expressly reserved and, accordingly, no rights or licenses other than those specified herein shall be deemed granted by this Agreement by implication, estoppel or otherwise.

 

2.5                                                  Future Developments. Orion will disclose to USL all Improvements relating to the Product which are invented, developed or otherwise acquired and Controlled by Orion during the Term of this Agreement. Upon USL giving Orion written notice accepting such Improvement the Improvement automatically be included within the scope of the Licenses granted to USL under this Agreement, and (as applicable) the definition of Product, Field, Orion Proprietary Information and/or Orion Patents, shall be deemed amended to add and incorporate such Improvement. Without limitation, any patents or patent applications which Orion may secure or file on or in conjunction with any such Improvements shall be added to the definition of Licensed Patents.

 

3                                                            OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE

 

3.1                                                  Oversight Committee. Promptly after Date of Agreement, but in any event within thirty (30) days from Date of this Agreement, the Parties shall establish an oversight committee (“Oversight Committee”) to oversee the Development of the Product to ensure timely development and approval of the Product. The Oversight Committee shall include up to four (4) representatives of each Party.

 

3.2                                                  Meetings. The Oversight Committee shall meet at least twice annually, unless otherwise agreed. Such meetings shall alternate between USL and Orion locations and be held at such times as are mutually agreed upon by the Oversight Committee. Some or all of each party’s representatives may participate in any meeting of the Oversight Committee by means of video or conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.

 

3.3                                                  Decision Making. All decisions of the Oversight Committee shall be made by USL, after good faith consultation with Orion.

 

4                                                            DEVELOPMENT OF PRODUCT

 

4.1                                                  Collaboration Regarding Development. Following the Date of Agreement, the Development of Product for use in the Field in the Territory shall be carried out all in the manner agreed in this Agreement.

 

Orion shall have the unrestricted right to pursue Development of Product outside the Territory for use outside the Territory. Because Product inside the Territory developed for a use outside the Field would be interchangeable with Product developed and marketed by USL in the Territory for use in the Field (and would, as a practical matter, be inconsistent with the exclusive Licenses granted to USL under this Agreement for the Product in the Territory in the Field), Orion shall not, without USL’s written consent, directly or indirectly commence Development for the Territory of Product outside the Field.

 

4.2                                                  Designation of Lead Party for Product. USL shall serve as the lead Party for Development of Product.

4.4.2                                        All Development of Product shall be conducted in accordance with the Development Plan. The Initial Development Plan is attached hereto as Schedule 2.

 

4.4.3                                        The Development Plan shall be updated, if necessary, and at least reviewed, on a regular basis. Subject to Sections 4.4.3(a) and (b) below, USL may, following good faith consultation with Orion, modify and amend the Development Plan, from time to time, in such a manner as necessary to respond to requests or suggestions by FDA related to the Development or registration of the Product, and to otherwise enable USL to try to meet such objective. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:

 

(a)                                 Responsibility for all Development Costs that are related to the Development of the Product for or in the Territory shall be borne solely by USL, provided, however that Orion shall be solely responsible for the costs arising from the CMC development for Product within the scope of the Initial Development Plan up to the maximum limit of [***]. USL shall not, without Orion’s prior written consent, amend or modify the then current Development Plan in a manner that increases any financial obligation of Orion (whether for out-of-pocket expenses or internal expenses incurred) as set forth in the then current Development Plan that will not be reimbursed by USL to Orion using Orion’s Party Internal Development Rate (for work performed by Orion, or at Orion’s out of pocket cost for work performed by a qualified independent contractor as contemplated in, and subject to, this Section 4.4.3(a)). If USL modifies the Development Plan in a manner that requires Orion to undertake additional work not contemplated in the then current Development Plan, such additional work shall be reimbursed to Orion at Orion’s Party Internal Development Rate (for work performed by Orion, or at Orion’s out of pocket cost for work performed by a qualified independent contractor as contemplated in, and subject to, this Section 4.4.3(a)) and Orion may perform the work itself or engage qualified independent contractors reasonably acceptable to USL to perform some or all of the work (it being understood that the use by Orion of independent contractors shall not increase the budget authorized by USL for the work without USL’s prior written consent).

 

(b)                                 USL shall not have any obligation to modify the then current Development Plan (or undertake activities) in a manner that would involve USL incurring financial obligations (whether for out-of-pocket expenses (including without limitation, reimbursement of Orion) or internal expenses incurred) which exceed those in the then current Development Plan by more than [***] in the aggregate. If the FDA requires a change to the Development Plan in a manner that would involve USL incurring financial obligations (whether for out-of-pocket expenses (including without limitation, reimbursement of Orion) or internal expenses incurred) which exceed those in the then current Development Plan by more than [***] in the aggregate, that USL does not desire to make, Orion may assume responsibility and the financial obligation for such additional activities. In that event, USL will furnish reasonable assistance (at USL’s expense), as requested by Orion, to enable Orion (or its designee) to perform such additional work required by the FDA-required amendment, provided that if USL’s cost in furnishing such assistance (whether out-of-pocket expenses or internal expenses incurred) will exceed [***], then, instead of furnishing such assistance, USL may terminate this Agreement upon ninety (90) days prior written notice of termination to Orion.

 

(c)                                  Should the Product NDA for the Product be approved by the FDA subject to any post NDA approval conditions or requirements, for example, but not limited to a requirement

or recommendation that the FDA be provided clinical “outcomes” or additional clinical study data or information as a condition for maintenance of such NDA approval (collectively, “Required Post Approval Studies”), then the Parties shall, subject to the terms of Sections 4.4.3(a) and (b) above, seek to agree in writing upon the manner in which such work shall be performed. As provided in Section 4.4.3(a) above, USL shall be solely responsible for any Development Costs incurred in connection with the performance of any Required Post Approval Studies, subject to Section 4.4.3(b) above.

 

(d)                                 As stated in Section 4.4.3(a) above, Orion shall not be responsible for Development Costs (which are not reimbursed by USL) beyond those stated in Section 44.3(a), without its prior written consent. USL shall not be responsible for expenses or costs of Orion or any independent contractor performing work on behalf of Orion not contained in a then current budget as a part of the then current Development Plan unless pre-authorized by USL in writing.

 

4.5                                                  Development Activities. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct the Development activities each Party has agreed to assume under this Agreement and the Initial Development Plan. Each Party agrees to conduct Development activities under this Agreement in compliance with all laws and regulations that are applicable to the particular stage of Development of the Product, including without limitation, GLPs, GCPs and CGMPs. Neither Party makes any warranties or representations whatsoever that any Product NDA approval will be granted regarding Product.

 

4.6                                                  Ownership and Use of Data.

 

4.6.1                                        Each Party shall own all data, results, information, developments and documentation generated by activities that were funded solely by it prior to the Date of Agreement.

 

4.6.2                                        USL shall own all data, results, information, developments and documentation generated by activities undertaken after the Date of Agreement in connection with or pursuant to the Development Plan, or otherwise undertaken or paid for by USL, provided that USL and Orion shall jointly own all data, results, information, developments and documentation generated by activities after the Date of Agreement to the extent Orion joins USL in funding such activities, and Orion’s funding exceeds the [***] amount specified in Section 4.7(a)(1). Manufacturing process development and validation, manufacturing scale-up, stability testing, or quality assurance/quality control development for the Product shall be performed by Orion, at its expense, and data, information and documentation related thereto (which is not to be reimbursed by USL) shall be Orion’s Proprietary Information owned by Orion, and USL shall have the right to use all such Orion Proprietary Information as provided in this Agreement.

 

4.6.3                                        It is understood that the terms of Sections 4.6.1 and 4.6.2 shall apply regardless of whether the activity was conducted directly by a Party or by a Third Party (e.g., a contract research organization) on behalf of such Party. Data, results, information, developments and documentation owned by USL in accordance with this Section 4.6 is referred to as “USL Data” and shall be proprietary and confidential to USL. Orion assigns to USL any right it may have in USL Data, and agrees to execute any documents as USL may reasonably request to document and confirm USL’s ownership of the USL Data.

 

(a)                                 Orion shall make available all data, results, information, development and documentation of Orion that is a part of Orion Proprietary Information for use in connection with USL’s performance of this Agreement regarding the Product in the

Territory. USL agrees to share with Orion all pre-clinical and clinical research data and results involving Product which it has developed, develops, or obtains from a Third Party during the Term, as well as correspondence with the FDA and minutes of meetings with the FDA regarding the Product. Such sharing by each Party shall take place as soon as reasonably practicable after such data or results become available, but in no event shall a final study report (“Final Study Report”) for a clinical study involving Product be provided later than twelve (12) months after data base lock for such study, and provided further that any disclosure of information to be shared is not restricted by any Third Party contractual obligations preventing such disclosure by a Party to the other. Each of USL and Orion agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid subjecting itself to such restrictions that would prevent such disclosures to Orion. Such data and results shall be provided to Orion subject to the confidentiality and use restrictions under which each is bound under this Agreement, (it being understood, however, that, with respect to use of such data permitted under Sections 4.6.4 and 4.6.5, such confidentiality and use restrictions shall be observed to the extent permitted by applicable law, and a party shall not be liable for noncompliance with such restrictions in the use of such data under Sections 4.6.4 and 4.6.5 to the extent compliance with such use and confidentiality restrictions is not permitted by applicable law).

 

(b)                                 Each Party shall be entitled to use in the Territory for the purposes of this Agreement, and Orion shall be entitled to use outside the Territory, as it sees appropriate, free-of-charge and without any limitation in time, any and all data and results of any study or other activity, including without limitation the materials identified in Section 4.6.3 (a) above developed or obtained by USL, and any study reports and abstracts, related to Product conducted by or on behalf of either Party in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.

 

4.6.4                                        Each Party shall be entitled to, and shall be provided with access to, all Safety Data of the other Party. “Safety Data” means pre-clinical and clinical data relating to the Product useful for or in connection with demonstrating the safety of the Product for use in humans. Each Party may use Safety Data of the other Party in connection with any regulatory filing, whether or not such filing is mandatory.

 

4.6.5                                        If Orion desires to use, or to permit a Third Party licensee to use, USL Data in seeking regulatory approval for the Product in a country outside the Territory where Orion does not yet have such regulatory approval, and the USL Data are pivotal to that application for regulatory approval, Orion shall give USL written notice and the parties shall negotiate in good faith for payment to USL of fair value for such use, considering, among other factors, the expense USL incurred or paid in developing such USL Data. If the Parties reach agreement, Orion shall have the right to use such USL Data, on a confidential basis, for such limited purpose.

 

4.6.6                                        Orion’s obligation to maintain any particular USL Data as confidential or to limit its use of such USL Data shall terminate at when USL, or its designees, publish such particular USL Data without restriction of confidentiality.

 

4.7                                                  Development Costs for Product. Unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing as a part of an amendment to the Development Plan, USL shall be solely responsible for all budgeted Development Costs that are related to the Development of the Product for or in the Territory as set forth in the then current Development Plan, provided, however, that Orion shall be solely responsible for the costs arising from the CMC development for Product within the scope of the

 

14

Initial Development Plan up to the maximum limit of [***]. Save as for the costs arising from said CMC development up to said [***] limit, Orion shall have no responsibility for Development Costs unless Orion agrees in advance in writing. USL shall have no responsibility for any Development Costs to the extent they exceed the budgeted amount for such activities in the then current Development Plan, unless specifically authorized in writing by USL in advance.

 

4.8                                                  Clinical Materials. Orion shall be responsible for providing on a timely basis and against reimbursement of its Clinical Supply Costs all necessary quantities of Product and placebo for use in pre-clinical and clinical trials (including without limitation phase IV (“Phase IV”) and other post-marketing clinical studies) to be conducted by either Party pursuant to this Section 4.

 

4.9                                                  Use of Subcontractors. In the event a Party performs one or more of its obligations regarding the Development of Product through the use of a subcontractor, then such Party shall at all times be responsible for the performance of such subcontractor.

 

4.10                                           Certain Regulatory Costs. The costs incurred by USL in compiling and preparing Product NDAs and any and all other regulatory documents for the Product in the Territory shall be considered part of USL’s Development Costs.

 

4.11                                           Publications. Either Party may publish or present the results of the Development or Phase IV studies carried out on Product by it in accordance with this Agreement, subject to the prior review by the other Party for patentability and protection of such other Party’s Confidential Information. Each Party shall provide to the other Party the opportunity to review any proposed abstracts, manuscripts or summaries of presentations which cover the results of the Development of such Product, or Phase IV studies involving the Product. Each Party shall designate a person who shall be responsible for approving such publications. Such designated person shall respond in writing promptly and in no event later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the proposed material with either approval of the proposed material or a specific statement of concern, based upon either the need to seek patent protection or concern regarding competitive disadvantage arising from the proposal. In the event of concern, the submitting Party agrees not to submit such publication or to make such presentation that contains such information until the other Party is given a reasonable period of time (not to exceed ninety (90) days) to seek patent protection for any material in such publication or presentation which it believes is patentable or to resolve any other issues. With respect to any proposed abstracts, manuscripts or summaries of presentations by investigators or other Third Parties, such materials shall be subject to review under this Section 4.11 only to the extent that USL or Orion (as the case may be) has the right with respect to such Third Party materials to do so. The Parties may agree to accelerate the time periods set forth in this Section 4.11 under special circumstances (e.g. launch of the Product).

 

4.12                                           No Guarantee of Successful Development. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither Party gives any representation or warranty, express or implied, nor shall any such warranty or representation be deemed given by either Party, that the Development of product contemplated under this Agreement will be successful or that Regulatory Approval for Product will be granted by the competent Regulatory Authority/ies.

 

5                                                            UP-FRONT AND MILESTONE PAYMENTS

 

5.1                                                  Consideration. As consideration and reimbursement to Orion for certain of its costs and expenses associated with previously completed research, development, and testing for the Product, USL will pay to Orion the payments set forth in Sections 5.2 through 5.5 below, in

Each Party shall be entitled to all tax benefits, including in particular, tax credits and/or tax deductions attributable to amounts that such Party has funded regarding the Development of Product hereunder. Each Party shall file its federal, state, and local tax returns on a basis consistent with this Agreement, and shall not take any action inconsistent with the other Party’s entitlement to such tax benefits. In the event that a Party, in its reasonable judgment, determines that it must obtain information and verification regarding the use or application of such expenditures in order to prepare its tax returns or to respond to any inquiry during a tax audit or any other inquiry relating to such treatment of its tax return, or to defend its tax position in any proceeding including litigation, the other Party shall reasonably cooperate with the requesting Party and furnish it with such information as it may reasonably require at the requesting Party’s request and expense.

 

6                                                            TERMS AND CONDITIONS — PRODUCT SUPPLY, PAYMENTS AND ROYALTIES

 

6.1                                                  Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, USL and its Affiliates and Agents shall purchase from Orion all of their requirements in the Territory dining the Term for Product and any other Product Developed pursuant to this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing. Orion agrees to supply to USL and its Affiliates and Agents with such quantities of Product as are ordered in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

(a)                                 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1, Orion shall not manufacture any Product which utilizes any Patent Rights or other proprietary technology owned by USL (unless Orion has a license to such Patent Rights or other proprietary technology), unless USL has granted Orion rights under such Patent Rights or other proprietary technology to manufacture and sell Product to USL in accordance with this Agreement. USL represents and warrants that it does not, as of the Date of Agreement, hold or control any Patent Rights for which Orion would be required to acquire a license for purposes of manufacturing Product or otherwise exercising Orion’s rights or performing Orion’s obligations under this Agreement. In the event that USL hereafter obtains any such Patent Rights or other proprietary technology, USL shall, and hereby does, grant to Orion the rights under such Patent Rights or other proprietary technology for the limited purpose of manufacturing Product for, and selling Product to, USL in accordance with this Agreement.

 

6.2                                                  Forecasting.

 

(a)                                 Initial Forecast. To better enable Orion to plan its Product production program for the Territory, USL shall inform Orion at least nine (9) months prior to the anticipated date of Orion’s first delivery to USL preceding the anticipated date of the First Commercial Sale of Product in the Territory of USL’s estimated requirements in Units of the Product for the first twenty four (24) calendar months after said First Commercial Sale, (such forecast being referred to herein as an “Initial Forecast”). Until a Routine Forecast is established according to Section 6.2 (b) below, USL will revise this Initial Forecast by the end of each succeeding calendar quarter and inform Orion of same in writing. It is

 

17

understood that any estimates provided pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) are provided for planning purposes only and are not intended to be binding upon USL or Orion.

 

(b)                                 Routine Forecast. Prior to the first month of each calendar year, USL will deliver to Orion its nonbinding forecast (the “Routine Forecast”) for the Product on a monthly basis for that calendar year. This Routine Forecast will be updated quarterly on a rolling 12-month basis. Orion will use the Routine Forecast for planning purposes only.

 

(c)                                  Long-term Forecast. Acknowledging Orion’s reasonable need for also long term forecasts to be given by USL in order to be able to plan for and, as necessary, to invest in, additional production capacity, the Parties hereby agree that USL shall furnish Orion annually by November 1 with USL’s best good faith estimates of USL’s Product requirements for the following two (2) years (“Rolling Two Year Forecast”), consistent with its then existing long range planning cycles. It is understood that such estimates are provided for planning purposes only and shall not be binding on USL.

 

6.3                                                  Purchase Orders; Delivery; Delays.

 

(a)                                 USL will provide to Orion a written purchase order for each delivery, not later than ninety (90) days before the required delivery date. Product will be supplied by Orion only against receipt of USL’s written purchase orders (“Purchase Orders”), and only in full batches of a particular dosage form, initially envisaged to be [***] of bulk gel. The foregoing batch sizes shall not be increased without USL’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Unless otherwise agreed in connection with an order, Orion will fill and ship all orders of Product in accordance with the Purchase Orders. If any USL Purchase Order is not submitted at least ninety (90) days prior to the requested delivery dates, Orion will still use commercially reasonable efforts to meet USL’s requested delivery dates, and if Orion is unable to do so, the Parties agree to extend the delivery date in good faith to a date that does not interfere with other commitments of Orion on not more than a day-for-day basis. Orion may not produce (or have produced) Product more than sixty (60) days prior to the requested shipment date, provided that (1) with respect to Product produced for purchase orders in anticipation of commercial launch of the Product, the Product shall not be produced more than a number of days before shipment as shall be agreed upon by the parties in good faith, and (2) if [***] expiration dating for the Product is approved by the Regulatory Authorities, the sixty (60) day period may be increased to a period equal to a number of days not exceeding [***] of the Product’s expiration dating.

 

(b)                                 Orion’s supply undertakings are contingent upon USL’s compliance with the order and forecasts procedures specified in Sections 6.2 and 6.3(a) and subject to ordered amounts of Product having been forecasted.

 

(c)                                  Orion shall use all reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize delays in supply, including, at USL’s request, the expenditure of premium time, use of additional labor and shipping via expedited routing. Any additional cost caused by such requirements shall be borne by Orion except to the extent the delay was caused by the contributory fault or negligence of USL, the breach of this Agreement by USL or the relevant amounts of Product not having been forecasted. In addition to any other remedies USL may have under this Agreement due to failure or delay by Orion in the delivery of Product, USL shall have the right to cancel any order which is not made available for delivery to USL for more than thirty (30) days after its agreed delivery date so long as such delay has

not been caused due to the contributory fault or negligence of USL or breach of this Agreement by USL, and provided the Product has been forecasted and ordered in accordance with this Section 8.

 

(d)                                 Orion will reserve its production capacity for Product in quantities not more than twenty five percent (25%) in excess of USL’s most recent Routine Forecasts for a Year given pursuant to Section 6.2(b) and Orion’s supply obligations under this Section 6.3(d). Against purchase orders timely made, Orion agrees to supply USL’s requirements of Product for each month provided the order does not exceed USL’s most recent Routine Forecast, as described in Section 6.2(b) above, by more than twenty five percent (25%). Subject to its production capacity and other production scheduling needs and commitments, and the provisions of Section 6.3(e), Orion will use commercially reasonable efforts to supply ordered quantities more than twenty five percent (25%) in excess of amounts forecasted in USL’s most recent Routine Forecast, it being understood that the failure to supply ordered amounts to the extent exceeding USL’s most recent Routine Forecast by more than twenty five percent (25%) will not subject Orion to any penalties or sanctions.

 

(e)                                  Subject to the provisions of Section 6 of this Agreement, and the Quality Assurance Agreement, Orion may satisfy its Product supply obligations to USL under this Agreement either directly or through an Orion Affiliate located either in the Territory or elsewhere, at Orion’s discretion that is approved to manufacture the Product in accordance with the Product NDA; provided, however, that Orion shall at all times remain liable for the performance of any of its Affiliates.

 

6.4                                                  Location of Manufacturing. Product supplied to USL under this Agreement shall be manufactured only in a manufacturing facility that has been designated as an approved manufacturing facility in the applicable Product NDA.

 

6.5                                                  Back-Up Sources of Supply. Should Orion desire to utilize a different supplier for Product other than Orion or should Orion desire to change manufacturing site for Product to a site other than used to manufacture Product as of the Date of Agreement, Orion shall notify USL in writing and the Parties shall thereafter meet to discuss the potential consequences of such a change. In the course of that discussion, if Orion intends to use a different supplier other than an Orion Affiliate, USL may elect itself to manufacture Product, in which case, USL shall be, and hereby is, granted (subject to USL’s royalty payment obligations stipulated for under Section 6.9 or 13.4 (as applicable)) a royalty free right and license to manufacture Product on the same terms as described in Section 6.5(d) and Section 6.6. Orion shall not change manufacturing sites for Product without obtaining USL’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. In no event shall USL be obligated to pay a greater Supply Price for Product manufactured at an alternate manufacturing site than the Supply Price paid for Product produced by Orion. In the event USL provides its consent that Orion shall change suppliers or manufacturing facilities for Product, USL shall, upon Orion’s request provide reasonable assistance, at Orion’s cost, to obtain whatever regulatory approvals are required in the Territory, endeavor to have the new site and supplier of the Product approved by the FDA under any current, pending and future Product NDAs. Orion shall at all times remain liable for the supply of Product to USL (as well as all other obligations of Orion under this Agreement) regardless of whether Product is manufactured by Orion, an Orion Affiliate, or a Third Party. To provide for back-up supply capabilities, Orion will take reasonable steps to ensure an ongoing source of supply of Product to meet USL’s requirements, including without limitation reservation of

buffer stock of Compound as provided for herein below, and/or qualification of alternate source or site manufacturing capability for Product, bulk gel sachets, or any combination of the above.

 

(a)                                 In addition to any other remedies USL, may have under this Agreement due to for failure or delay by Orion in the delivery of Product, if Orion is unable, or if it appears reasonably likely that Orion will be unable, either directly, or through an alternative supply source or Orion’s Product reserves, to supply on a timely basis USL’s forecasted requirements for Product pursuant to Section 6.2(a) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such inability would continue for a period of greater than sixty (60) days, then USL shall thereafter have the continuing right to manufacture or have manufactured such Product under the terms of this Section 6.5. USL shall have the right to continue to manufacture some or all of its requirements for Product pursuant to this Section 6.5 even after Orion can reasonably demonstrate that it is able to itself resume normal Product manufacture and supply activities and meet USL’s requirements for Product on an ongoing basis.

 

(b)                                 USL shall have the right at any time to qualify, at its expense, its own manufacturing facility as a back-up site for the manufacture of Product at any time during the Term. Orion will provide USL, and shall provide USL, with the manufacturing, process and quality control procedures, documentation and other relevant know-how and information (hereinafter the “Product Manufacturing Know-How”) to the extent reasonably necessary to enable USL to exercise its back-up manufacturing rights pursuant to this Section 6.5. Orion shall assist USL in obtaining all necessary Regulatory Authority approvals for manufacture of Product, and as necessary, active ingredient for the manufacture of Product. In the event that USL exercises its back-up manufacturing rights pursuant to this Section 6.5 or Section 6.18, it shall be free to purchase, at its sole risk and responsibility, Compound from a Third Party. Following the Date of Agreement, Orion shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have USL qualified as an acceptable licensed manufacturer for Product under Orion’s standby manufacturing rights. Orion shall exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that USL shall have the right to cross reference the DME for Compound cross-referenced by Orion for Product for purposes of qualifying USL’s facility as an approved manufacturing source for Product and to otherwise enable USL to exercise its back-up manufacturing rights under this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  In the event that USL manufactures any Product pursuant to its exercise of its back-up manufacturing rights pursuant to this Section 6.5, then i7SL shall pay any royalty due under Section 6.9 or 13.4 (as applicable) on Net Sales of such Product by USL.

 

6.6                                                  Back-Up Manufacturing License. For the purposes of enabling USL to exercise its back-up manufacturing rights Orion hereby grants USL a worldwide, royalty free license under all Orion Proprietary Information and Orion Patent Rights (if any) for the purpose of enabling USL to manufacture Product solely for sale in the Field in the Territory; provided, however, that USL shall be entitled to exercise said rights solely in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.5 and 6.18, Orion shall sign such additional documents and do such additional things as may be reasonably necessary to enable USL to exercise its back-up manufacturing rights under this Agreement.

 

6.7                                                  Payment Terms. USL shall pay for Product within thirty (30) days after the later of (a) the date of receipt of Orion’s invoice (which shall contain the relevant purchase order number, and be in agreement with the purchase order referenced), and (b) the date of USL’s receipt of the Product

(accompanied by all necessary documentation). Product shall be invoiced in euros and paid in United States dollars based on a conversion of the invoiced price in euros to United States dollars using the applicable foreign exchange rate listed in the Wall Street Journal on the date in the United States that USL initiates payment (as described with the paragraph immediately below) of that invoice.

 

All payments to be made under this Agreement, including without limitation those under Section 5, shall, unless otherwise agreed, be by bank transfer, e.g. “SWIFT” or comparable bank transfer method to Orion’s designated account in Finland or USL’s designated account in Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A, and be deemed paid when received. The paying Party shall bear all costs in connection with effecting payments. All Product supplied under this Agreement shall be delivered Ex Works, Turku, Finland, per International Chamber of Commerce “Incoterms 2000” incorporated hereto by reference. Upon request of USL, Orion shall arrange for transportation for Product; provided however, that USL shall reimburse Orion for its actual out-of-pocket costs incurred in shipping Product delivered to USL. Title to Product shall transfer to USL upon delivery.

 

Subject to the thirty (30) day cure period applicable to USL as provided in Section 20.2 herein, payment to Orion is a material term in this Agreement.

 

6.8                                                  Supply Price for Territory. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.12, Orion’s supply price to USL for Product (packaged with the applicable number of sachets and plastic box in the final approved printed carton with the package insert) to be sold commercially in the Territory shall be as follows (“Supply Price”);

6.9                                                  Know-how Royalty. Commencing on the first commercial sale of a given strength of the Product following NDA Approval for that strength and continuing until the end of the Term, USL shall pay Orion a know-how royalty (herein after referred to a the “Know-how Royalty”) equal to “Applicable Percentage” of USL’s Net Sales for Product during the applicable time period. “Applicable Percentage” shall mean [***] for Net Sales during the first twelve (12) months following the First Commercial Sale, whereafter the Applicable Percentage shall be [***].

 

6.10                                           Payment Process. Know-how Royalties will be paid quarterly within sixty (60) days after the end of each USL quarter for which any Know-how Royalties may be due. At the same time, USL shall submit a report of quarterly Net Sales in the Territory listing the Net Sales of USL during that USL quarter on which Know-how Royalties are due in accordance with Section 6.9.

6.10.1                                 Orion’s Audit Rights. USL shall maintain, and require its Affiliates (and Agents, if applicable) to maintain, accurate records of all Net Sales and Sample distribution in the Territory as well as relevant invoicing or other documentation relating thereto. Upon reasonable prior written notice from Orion, USL shall allow such records to be made open to audit on Orion’s behalf by an independent certified public accountant of Orion’s selection, except one who is currently engaged by USL or one to whom USL may have a reasonable objection, to verify that the Know-how Royalties have been accurately computed on Net Sales. Such accountant shall be first made subject to confidentiality obligations not less strict than those to which Orion and USL are subject to under this Agreement. The accountants shall be allowed to report to Orion only whether the Net Sales are accurate and correct and made in accordance with this Agreement, and if not, what the correct calculations should have been and the basis for same in said accountant’s professional opinion. For these purposes Orion’s accountant may examine and make abstracts of the records to be kept pursuant to this Agreement. Such audit shall occur during normal business hours and no more often than once per Year. The audit may be requested for up to two (2) of the most recent Years prior to the Year of the request. Accordingly, the USL records which are the object of this audit clause shall be maintained and be made available for audit for a period of at least two (2) years from the end of each then current Year. USL shall be provided a copy of any report or other documentation prepared by Orion’s accountant regarding the results of its audit. Once an audit has been conducted for a particular Year, the reports provided by USL for such Year regarding Net Sales and Sample distribution calculations, as adjusted by the results of any audit, shall be deemed to be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. Furthermore, following the expiration of any period in which Orion may audit USL’s records for a particular Year in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.10.1, the reports provided by USL for such Year regarding Net Sales and Sample distribution shall be deemed to be conclusive and binding upon the Parties.

 

Once an audit has been conducted for a particular period, the calculation of Know-how Royalties for such period, as adjusted by the results of any audit, shall be deemed to be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. Furthermore, following the expiration of any period in which Orion may audit USL’s records for a particular period in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.10.1, the Know-how Royalties due by USL for such period as stated in USL’s quarterly reports shall be deemed to be conclusive and binding upon the Parties.

 

6.10.2                                 Correction of Underpayment or Overpayment. In the event that Orion’s accountant finds any errors that have resulted in an underpayment of Know-how Royalties to Orion, then upon Orion’s request, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.10.4, USL shall promptly refund or credit to Orion’s account any amount owed to Orion in accordance with the findings of such accountant. In the event that such independent certified public accountant finds any error to the detriment of USL, Orion shall promptly refund or credit to USL any amount owed to USL in accordance with the findings of such accountant.

 

6.10.3                                 Responsibility for Costs of Audit. The accountant’s fees and expenses associated with any such audit shall be borne by Orion, provided that USL shall reimburse Orion for same in the event the audit reveals an underpayment of Know-how Royalties by USL to Orion for a given Year of more than [***] as a result of USL’s errors in Net Sales or Sample distribution calculations.

 

6.10.4                                 Disputes Regarding Audit Findings. In the event that USL in good faith disputes any conclusion of the accounting firm under Section 6.10.1, including that USL owes additional amounts, then USL shall inform Orion by written notice within thirty (30) days of receipt of a copy of the audit in question, specifying in detail such dispute. The Parties shall promptly thereafter meet and negotiate in good faith a resolution to such dispute. In the event that the Parties are unable to

 

22

resolve such dispute within sixty (60) days after notice by USL, the matter shall be resolved in a manner consistent with the procedures set forth in Section 26.

 

6.10.5                                 Single Royalty Payment. The obligation to pay Know-how Royalties to Orion under Section 6.9 (or any royalty due under Section 13.4) is imposed only once with respect to the same unit of the Product, regardless of the number of Orion Patent Rights or the non-patented Orion Proprietary Information covering the same. There shall be no obligation to pay Orion an Know-how Royalty on the sale of the Product between USL and its Affiliates, or a sublicensee (other than a private label distributor of USL, it being understood that USL shall pay Know-how royalties on its Net Sales to a private label distributor of USL, and no royalty shall be due hereunder on the subsequent sale by the Third Party private label distributor).

 

6.10.6                                 Know-how Royalties on Sublicenses. If USL grants a sublicense (which for purposes of this Section 6.10.6 does not include a Third Party private label distributor of USL), any such sublicense shall contain appropriate provisions to obligate the sublicensee to pay Orion the same Know-how Royalty on Net Sales that USL would have to pay on its own Net Sales of the Product, and any such Know-How Royalties in the amount specified in Section 6.9 owed on Net Sales by a sublicense shall be collected by USL and paid to Orion.

 

6.11                                           Currency Conversion. All royalties will be paid in U.S. dollars. Royalties due on Net Sales in the currency of countries foreign to the United States will be calculated and paid in U.S. dollars after the amount of the Net Sales in foreign currency have been converted into U.S. dollars using the applicable foreign exchange rate listed in the Wall Street Journal for the last day of the calendar quarter in which the particular revenues included in the Net Sales were accrued or if there is an applicable forward exchange contract, at the forward exchange rate.

 

For example, if revenues included in Net Sales are earned in Canadian dollars in December of a given year and there is not forward exchange contract in effect, then the Net Sales in Canadian dollars will be converted into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate between the Canadian dollars and U.S. dollars as listed in the Wall Street Journal for the last day of that December. If a foreign exchange contract is in effect for such period, then the Net Sales in Canadian dollars will be converted into U.S. dollars at forward exchange rate in such contract.

 

6.12                                           Supply Price Adjustment. Orion shall have the right to adjust the Supply Price to USL for Product once per Year, pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.12 (c), provided that (a) Orion gives written notice to USL, at least ninety (90) days prior to the beginning of the Year in which said adjustment shall take effect, of the amount of the adjustment, and (b) in no event shall the Supply Price stated in this Agreement change before the end of the first Year. In the event that an adjustment of the Supply Price calculated in accordance with this Section 6.12 would result in a reduction of the Supply Price, Orion shall also adjust the Supply Price accordingly.

 

(a)                                 Any adjustment of the Supply Price after the Date of Agreement shall be based only on bona fide increases or decreases in Orion’s FAMC as of the Date of Agreement, and thereafter from the date of the last notice of price change, all as recorded and consistently applied by Orion’s internal accounting system and in compliance with Finnish generally accepted accounting principles. Any notice of a change in the Supplied Price given by Orion to USL in accordance with Section 6.12 shall be accompanied by supporting documentation evidencing increases or decreases in Orion’s FAMC. However, any increase shall not exceed (as a percentage) at any one time [***] of the Producer Price Index for Manufactured Product in Finland (published by the government’s “Center for Statistics” = Statistics Finland; “Tilastokeskus”).

(b)                                 Orion agrees to maintain complete and accurate records in accordance with “Finnish GAAP” for the purposes of evidencing Orion’s FAMC. Upon reasonable prior written notice from USL, Orion will make such records available during normal business hours, but not more frequently than once per Year, to enable an independent certified public accountant of USL’s selection, except one who is currently engaged by Orion or one to whom Orion may have a reasonable objection, to verify that the Supply Price does not exceed the FAMC and that the adjustments to Supply Price have been accurately made and are in accordance with this Agreement. Such accountant shall first be bound by confidentiality obligations no less strict than those to which Orion and USL are bound under this Agreement. The accountant shall be allowed to report to USL only whether Orion’s Supply Price does not exceed the FAMC and that adjustments and calculations of increases or decreases in the Supply Price are correct or incorrect and, if incorrect, what the correct amount should have been and, on what basis, in the accountant’s professional opinion. For these purposes Orion’s accountant may examine and make abstracts of the records to be kept pursuant to this Agreement.

 

The accountant’s fees and expenses associated with any such verification shall be borne by USL, provided that Orion shall reimburse USL for same in the event the audit reveals that an increase in the Supply Price requested by Orion represented an overpayment by USL of more than [***] of the amount that such increase should have been as a result of Orion’s error in calculations involving the Supply Price. Orion shall promptly refund or credit to USL any amount owed to USL in accordance with the findings of such independent certified public accountant, unless such findings are disputed.

 

In the event that Orion in good faith disputes any conclusion of the accounting firm under this Section 6.12(b), then Orion shall inform USL by written notice within thirty (30) days of receipt of a copy of the audit in question, specifying in detail such dispute. The Parties shall promptly thereafter meet and negotiate in good faith a resolution to such dispute. In the event that the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute within sixty (60) days after notice by Orion, the matter shall be resolved in a manner consistent with the procedures set forth in Section 25.

 

The audit may be requested for up to two (2) of the most recent Years prior to the Year of the request. Accordingly, the Orion records which are the object of this audit clause shall be maintained and be made available for audit for the period covering at least the two (2) prior Years from the end of each then current Year.

 

Once an audit has been conducted for a particular Year, the Supply Price for such Year, as adjusted by the results of any audit, shall be deemed to be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. Furthermore, following the expiration of any period in which USL may audit USL’s records for a particular Year in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.12(b), the Supply Price charged by Orion for such Year shall be deemed to be conclusive and binding upon the Parties.

 

(c)                                  The principles for determining a Party’s FAMC are set forth in Schedule 4.

 

6.13                                           Responsibility for Customs Duties and Taxes on Re-sale of Product. USL shall bear and pay all taxes, duties, levies and other charges imposed on it by reason of its purchase, import or resale of Product (excluding any taxes which are due or based upon Orion’s income). For clarity, Orion shall be solely responsible for and shall bear all taxes, duties, levies and other charges imposed by reason of its manufacture of Product and sale of same to USL. Orion will package and ship

 

24

Product to USL in accordance with obligations placed on the seller under the applicable “Incoterms” provisions relating to a delivery. Orion will also comply with such other reasonable shipping or packaging requirements of USL, including special shipping configurations or bar coding, as Orion and USL shall beforehand expressly agree in writing regarding a particular order or shipment of Product.

 

6.14                                           Interest Upon Overdue Amounts. Each Party reserves the right to charge and the other Party hereby agrees to pay interest on any overdue amounts owed to a Party in connection with this Agreement which still remain unpaid after notice of delinquency and time for cure has expired in accordance with Section 22.2 herein below, at a rate of [***] per annum.

 

6.15                                           USL’s Right to Establish Re-sale Price. USL and its Affiliate(s) and Agent(s), as applicable, dealing with Product in the Territory shall establish their own terms of resale, including resale price, for Product.

 

6.16                                           Right to Withhold Supply of Product. Without limiting Orion’s rights pursuant to Section 20.2 or any other rights or remedies Orion may have under this Agreement, Orion reserves the right to withhold delivery of Product, whether based on an accepted order or not, in the event USL fails to cure any breach of its payment obligations hereunder within thirty (30) days after written notice and demand for cure of such breach.

 

6.17                                           Conflict in Forms. All sales of Product by Orion to USL will be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and will not be subject to the terms and conditions contained in any purchase order of USL or confirmation of Orion, except insofar as any such purchase order or confirmation establishes (a) the quantity of Product to be sold, (b) the shipment dates for the Product, and (c) the destinations to which those Product are to be shipped.

 

6.18                                           Potential Extension of Supply Arrangements. To the extent that USL has the continued right to sell Product in the Territory after the expiration of the Term in accordance with Section 20.9 of this Agreement, Orion shall continue to supply USL its requirements for Product in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided that Orion may give USL written notice that it desires not to continue to supply and sell Product to USL, in which event USL shall have, and Orion hereby grants to USL, the right and license (and agrees to furnish USL, at USL’s expense, the reasonable assistance) to manufacture or have manufactured Product in accordance with the terms of Sections 6.5 and 6.6 above. Orion shall, in all events continue to supply Product to USL in accordance with the terms of this Agreement through the later of the expiration date of the Term of this Agreement, or [***] months after Orion’s notice to USL that it does not desire to continue to supply and sell Product to USL under this Agreement. If USL, despite its good faith efforts and not due to any negligence or misconduct on the part of USL, is unable to obtain USL approval to manufacture or have product manufactured at another facility and to commence production of commercial quantities of the Product before the end of such [***] month period, then Orion shall continue to supply USL for a period of [***] months after the date of Orion’s notice.

 

6.19                                           Responsibility for Manufacturing-Related Expenses. The Party who is responsible for manufacturing Product under this Section 6 shall be responsible for any costs and expenses incurred in connection with manufacturing process development and validation, formulation development, manufacturing scale-up, stability testing, and quality assurance/quality control development.

7.1                                                  Diligence Obligations. USL shall use commercially reasonable efforts to market and promote Product in the Territory, consistent with the same level of efforts that it would apply to a product of its own that it is of comparable market potential.

 

7.2                                                  Projected Sales Level Statements and Minimum Sales Obligation. No later than November 1 of each Year commencing in the fifth Year, USL shall provide Orion with a good faith forecast of its projected Net Sales of the Product in the Territory for the next Year (“Projected Sales Level Statement”), taking into account, among other things, uncertainties regarding the entrance of competitive products into the marketplace, the commercialization strategies pursued by competitive products and the impact of such products upon the market for the Product, the timing of any Regulatory Approvals for new indications in the Field for the Product, changes in prescribing behaviors for physicians, and acceptance of the Product and competitive products on managed care formularies. Each such Projected Sales Level Statement shall be based upon USL’s own internal budgets applicable for the relevant Year, and shall be approved USL’s Vice President of Sales and. Marketing.

 

USL shall achieve the minimum Net Sales (the “Minimum Net Sales”) of the Product listed below (it being understood that Net Sales of USL Affiliates and sublicensees will be included for purposes of USL satisfying the Minimum Net Sales requirement):

[***] of the Projected Sales Level for such Year
    

 

If during the applicable Year supply or sale of the Product is impaired or impracticable due to Force Majeure, action by competent government authorities, or a claim by a Third Party that sale of the Product infringes the intellectual property rights of the Third Party, the Minimum Net Sales for that Year shall be prorated and the Minimum Net Sales thereafter for any of the Years 2 through 5 (as applicable) will be renegotiated by the Parties in good faith. Further, in the event a third party obtains regulatory approval in the Territory for any other product that is AB rated or AT rated to the Product, the obligation for Minimum Net Sales shall thereafter be null and void, and the Minimum Net Sales for that Year in which such event occurs shall be prorated.

 

7.3                                                  Failure to Achieve Minimum Net Sales. In the event that the actual Net Sales of the Product in the Territory for a given Year are less than the applicable Minimum Net Sales for that Year (for reasons other than those described in the last paragraph of Section 7.2 above) (such shortfall referred to as a “Net Sales Shortfall”), then ninety (90) days after the end of the applicable Year, USL shall pay to Orion a “Shortfall Royalty” equal to Applicable Percentage (as defined in Section 6.9) multiplied by the Net Sales Shortfall.

 

7.4                                                  Certain USL Rights. If there has been a Net Sales Shortfall in any Year due to reasons beyond the control of USL, including without limitation, changes in the prescribing practices, regulatory considerations, or acceptance of the product class in the Territory to which Product belongs,

then provided USL has paid the applicable Net Sales Shortfall, USL may give written notice, within ninety (90) days after the end of the applicable Year, of its desire to renegotiate in good faith the Minimum Net Sales for subsequent Years commencing with the Year following the one in which the Net Sales Shortfall occurred that triggered USL’s notice to renegotiate. Upon such notice from USL, Orion shall (within thirty (30) days) give USL written notice indicating either that it is willing to renegotiate the Minimum Net Sales, or that it does not wish to do so. If Orion does not give timely written notice that Orion wishes to renegotiate, USL may at any time after expiration of the thirty-day notice period, give Orion written notice of termination which will be effective ninety (90) days following the date of the notice of termination. If Orion gives timely written notice that it is willing to renegotiate, USL and Orion shall enter into good faith negotiations for a period of ninety (90) days (commencing with the date of Orion’s written notice). If they are unable to reach agreement to adjust the Minimum Net Sales during that time period, then USL may at any time within ninety (90) days after expiration of the ninety-day negotiation period give Orion written notice of termination which will be effective ninety (90) days following the date of the notice of termination. If the parties reach agreement to adjust the Minimum Net Sales, such adjustment shall be effective as of the first day of the Year in which USL gave notice to renegotiate under this Section. If this Agreement terminates pursuant to this Section, USL shall have no Shortfall Royalty obligation for any period after the end of the Year in which the Shortfall occurred that triggered USL’s notice to renegotiate under this Section.

 

7.5                                                  Certain Orion Rights. In the event that a Net Sales Shortfall occurs under Section 7.2 in any two (2) Years of a three (3) Year period commencing after the first two Years (it being understood that a Net Sales Shortfall in either of two first Years shall not be considered for purposes of Orion’s right of termination under this Section 7.5), Orion, at its option, may terminate this Agreement, provided Orion gives notice of termination specifically referencing this Section 7.5 and stating the basis for such termination within thirty (30) days following Orion’s receipt from USL of the report described in Section 6.10 following the end of the second such Year in such three-Year period. Such termination shall be effective ninety (90) days following USL’s receipt of such notice of termination. In the event Orion terminates USL pursuant to this Section 7.5, USL shall have no obligation to pay the accrued Shortfall Royalty for the Year that triggered Orion’s right to terminate under this Section 7.5.

 

7.6                                                  USL Efforts to Launch. USL shall use commercially reasonable efforts to launch the Product in the Territory within three (3) months following receipt of the NDA Approval for the Product in the Territory. In no event shall USL have any liability if USL is unable to launch within such three-month period due to Orion’s failure to supply required ordered amounts of Product sufficient to satisfy Product launch needs.

12.1                                           Ownership and Maintenance of Trademark and Internet Domain Names Incorporating the Trademark. The Product shall be marketed and distributed under either (a) the Divigel® trademark, which is owned by Orion (and, if used by USL in connection with the Product in the Territory, shall be registered (if not yet registered) in Canada, and maintained in the Territory by USL at its expense), or (b) another trademark that USL would develop and own, in either case subject to FDA approval for use of such trademark with the Product in the Territory. Orion hereby grants to USL an exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Divigel® Trademark in the Territory solely in connection with the marketing and distribution of Product under this Agreement. All rights not expressly granted in the Divigel® Trademark are reserved by Orion, and USL acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement shall give it any right, title or interest in or to any Orion trademarks other than the license to the Divigel® Trademark granted herein. Alternatively, USL, at its cost and expense, may develop, own and maintain a different trademark for use with the Product in the Territory.

 

If, during the Term, the Divigel® Trademark is used in connection with the Product, then upon expiration of the Term, USL shall have a fully-paid-up, irrevocable, perpetual and transferable license to use the Divigel® Trademark in the Territory. Such post-Term use shall be at the sole risk and expense of USL.

 

USL shall have the right, at its discretion, to seek registration for, and to register in its own name and for its own account with any interne domain name register any available domain name incorporating the Trademark for use within the Territory. Such use of an internet domain name shall be at the sole risk and expense of USL.

 

12.2                                           Registration of Other Marks. Each Party hereby agrees that at no time during the Term will it or any of its Affiliates attempt to use or register any trademarks, domain names or trade names confusingly similar to the Trademark or any domain names containing the same, or take any other action with a view to damaging the rights or goodwill in the Trademark, in the Territory.

12.3                                           12.3 Third Party Infringers. Each Party agrees to promptly inform the other Party in writing of any of the following acts or claims which come to such Party’s notice:

 

(a)                                 any actual or perceived acts of unfair competition by any Third Party with respect to the Trademark;

 

(b)                                 any actual or apparent infringement of Trademark by any Third Party. 12.4 Prosecution of Infringers.

 

Should any Third Party infringe, or reasonably appear to be infringing the Trademark, USL may pursue Third Party, including (if necessary) bringing and directing in its own name, any legal or other action concerning the Trademark, including any settlement negotiation or proceeding with respect to such acts or infringements, at its own expense. Orion agrees, at USL’s expense, to render such reasonable assistance as may be requested by USL with respect to such actions and to consult with USL prior to any action being taken by Orion in that regard. Orion may be represented by counsel of its own selection at its own expense in any suit or proceeding brought to restrain or otherwise deal with such infringement by any Third Party, but may not independently initiate any such legal or other action without USL’s prior written consent. In the event that USL institutes any action against an infringer of any Trademark pursuant to this Section 12.4, it shall promptly notify Orion and keep Orion reasonably informed as to the developments of such suit.

 

12.4                                           Allocation of Recovery Against Third Party Infringer. All amounts recovered from a Third Party pursuant to this Section shall be used:

 

(a)                                 first to reimburse the reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) of the Parties in such action; and

 

(b)                                 second the balance shall belong to USL, provided that such balance shall be deemed Net Sales of USL in the quarter in which such balance is received, and USL shall pay Orion a Know-how Royalty on such Net Sales in accordance with the terms of Section 6.9 above.

 

Where the amounts recovered do not fully reimburse the costs and expenses described in (a) above, such amounts shall be paid to the Parties pro-rata to the costs and expenses incurred by the Parties.

 

12.5                                           No Rights to Other Trademarks. Each party hereby acknowledges that it does not have, and shall not acquire, any right or interest in any of the other party’s trademarks or trade names unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. Each party agrees not to use any trade names or trademarks of the other party, except as provided in this Agreement or as otherwise specifically authorized by the other party in writing both as to the names or marks which may be used and as to the manner and prominence of use. USL hereby grants to Orion a non¬exclusive license to use USL’s trade names and/or trademarks, including without limitation the Trademark, as specified by USL in writing strictly for the purpose of such Product labeling and packaging and to use the USL logo and trademark to manufacture (or have manufactured) and supply the Product hereunder and, for the avoidance of doubt, no other license to, or right in, any of USL’s trade names, trademarks or other intellectual property rights is hereby granted to Orion. Each use of any trademark, trade name, logo or other intellectual property rights belonging to particular Party that is used on or in conjunction with the Product will inure to the benefit of that Party, and if any such use vests in the other Party any rights in the owning Party’s

trademark, trade name, logo or other intellectual property rights, the other Party hereby transfers such right to the owning party or its designee upon request of the owing Party.

13.1                                           Disclosure of Inventions. Each Party shall promptly disclose to the other Party the making, conception or reduction to practice of any inventions relating to the Product, whether or not patentable, by employees or others acting on behalf of such Party in the course of the Development of Product. All disclosures under this Section 13.1 shall be made at least sixty (60) days prior to any public disclosure of such invention or any required submission to government agencies in compliance with the requirements of government supported research.

 

13.2                                           USL and Orion shall consult with one another in good faith regarding a patent strategy for the Product in the Territory. Orion shall have the right, but no obligation, at its sole risk and at its expense, to pursue the initial filing of a potential Orion Patent, or support the continued prosecution of an Orion Patent. If Orion elects not to pursue the initial filing of a potential Orion Patent, or support the continued prosecution of an Orion Patent, Orion shall notify USL in writing promptly before the date required for the deadline date by which an action must be taken to establish or preserve an Orion Patent right. USL shall then have the right, but no obligation, at its sole risk and at its expense, to pursue the filing or support the continued prosecution of such Orion Patent. If USL elects to pursue such filing or continue such support, then it shall notify Orion of such election, and Orion shall promptly assign to USL, for a nominal consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged), all of its right, title and interest in such Orion Patent; provided however, Orion and its Affiliates shall have a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable right under such assigned Orion Patent for use in the Territory which, during the Term shall be for the limited purpose of Orion’s performance under this Agreement. In the event patent applications are filed covering the Product, its formulation or manufacture, in the Territory the Parties will consult with one another as to the desired scope of coverage of claims in the patent applications. The Party that is not prosecuting the patent application (the “Non-Prosecuting Party”) shall have reasonable opportunities to offer the party prosecuting the patent application (the “Prosecuting Party”) comments with respect to patent applications under the Patent Rights in the Territory. The Prosecuting Party shall keep the Non-Prosecuting Party fully advised of the status of patent applications and the patents in the Patent Rights by giving the Non-Prosecuting complete information with respect thereto, including but not limited to, copies of all patent applications, office actions, amendments, copies of issued patents and copies of notices from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The Prosecuting Party shall give the Non-Prosecuting Party reasonable written notice before the issuance of an allowed patent application on a Patent Right of Prosecuting Party’s intentions regarding the filing of continuations and/or divisionals.

 

13.3                                           Cooperation. Each of Orion and USL shall make available to the other Party (or to the other Party’s authorized attorneys, agents or representatives) at the other Party’s request and expense, its employees, agents or consultants to the extent reasonably necessary to enable the appropriate Party to exercise its rights hereunder in relation to Patent Rights for periods of time sufficient for such Party to obtain the necessary assistance from such personnel. Where appropriate, each of the Party shall sign or cause to have signed all documents necessary for such purposes.

 

13.4                                           Post-term Royalties. Following the expiration of the Term, USL shall pay Orion, in consideration for USL’s having obtained a license under Orion Patent Rights (if any), Proprietary Information and the Divigel® Trademark (if the Divigel® Trademark is used for the Product in the Territory) for purposes of this Agreement, a running residual know-how and

Trademark use royalty of [***] of Net Sales of Product in the Territory hereunder for as long as such Products are sold under the Divigel® Trademark, and [***] of Net Sales of Product in the Territory hereunder not under the Divigel® Trademark. Any successor to USL by reason of merger acquisition or otherwise shall expressly be bound by the royalty obligations of USL under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no royalty shall be payable pursuant to this Section 13.4 in any circumstance whatsoever if, after expiration of the Term, Orion commences sale of a generic Product in the Territory (it being understood that Orion may, after expiration of the Term, develop and sell a generic Product in the Territory, under its own label and own Regulatory Approval (without reference rights to USL’s Product NDA)).

 

13.5                                           Payment of Post-Term Royalties. The royalties payable pursuant to Section 13.4 shall be calculated and reported to Orion in accordance with Section 6.10, and paid by USL in accordance with Section 6.10.

 

14                                                     PATENT INFRINGEMENT MATTERS

 

14.1                                           Notice of Infringement. Each Party agrees to promptly inform the other Party in writing of any of the following acts or claims which come to such Party’s notice:

 

(a)                                 any actual or apparent infringement in the Territory of any Orion Patent Rights by any Third Party as well as any Third Party claims or threatened claims of invalidity with respect to any Orion Patent Rights; and

 

(b)                                 any lawsuits, claims or threatened claims of alleged infringement of a Third Party’s intellectual property rights made by any Third Party in the Territory involving Product, or its manufacture, use or sale.

 

(c)                                  Any “Paragraph N Certification Notice” with respect to the Product (it being understood that either Party receiving a Paragraph N Notice shall immediately notify the other Party).

 

14.2                                           Prosecution of Infringers.

 

(a)                                 Upon giving or receiving notice of any alleged Third Party infringer, USL shall promptly, but in any event within the Applicable Period, advise Orion if it intends to initiate action with respect to the alleged infringer. If USL advises Orion that it does not desire to initiate such action, Orion may, but has no obligation to, do so. The “Applicable Period” shall, in the context of a Paragraph IV Certification by a Third Party, mean (a) a period of twenty-one (21) days after USL receives notice of the Third Party Paragraph IV certification, and (b) shall otherwise mean a period of thirty (30) days after giving or receiving notice under Section 14.1 of this Agreement of the alleged Third Party infringement.

 

(b)                                 The party initiating the action will bear its expense, and the other party will cooperate, at the expense (with respect to out-of-pocket expenses only) of the party initiating the action.

 

14.3                                           Allocation of Recovery Against Third Party Infringer. Any recovery in such action against the third party infringer shall first be distributed to reimburse the reasonable out of pocket expenses of the Party that bore the enforcement action. The balance of any recovery shall belong to USL,

 

36

as the party of commercial interest in the Territory, whose damages will be the basis of any recovery in the enforcement action. The amount of that balance will, however, be deemed Net Sales of USL, and Know-how Royalties shall be paid to Orion thereon in accordance with Sections 6.9 or 13.4 (as applicable) above.

 

14.4                                           Potential Violations of Court Orders. In the event of patent infringement litigation in the United States or Canada (as the case may be) involving a claim that the Product infringes the patent rights of a third party, then USL and/or its Affiliates or sublicensees may be requested by Orion to consider suspension of the import, distribution, marketing, sale, use or other activities in connection with the Product in that country to the extent this may be necessary based upon advice of Orion’s outside legal counsel in order to (i) comply with any court ordered injunction, or an arbitrator(s) award or order whether interim or final or (ii) prevent or limit a material level of damages or liability to Orion with respect to such third party. Such request by Orion and compliance by USL and its Affiliates (and/or its sublicensees), if agreed, (1) shall be deemed a temporary suspension of USL’s and/or its Affiliates’ or sublicensees’ obligations to market and sell the Product in the Territory, including any obligation under Section 9 of this Agreement, but (2) shall not excuse Orion’s obligations to deliver for sale in the Territory by USL, its Affiliates and/or any sublicensees, Product that does not infringe the patent rights of any Third Party, and (3) shall be a material breach of this Agreement by Orion; and USL, its Affiliates and sublicensees shall be deemed not to have waived such breach (or release Orion from any liability with respect to such breach) even if USL, its Affiliates and/or sublicensees comply with Orion’s request.

 

14.5                                           Potential Termination for Infringement. Should Orion or USL or any of its or their Affiliates be prevented by reason of an adverse, non-appealable or unappealed court judgment or arbitral award against it from selling or supplying the Product in a particular country in the Territory due to infringement liability which would arise as a result of such decision(s), then (a) USL may (in addition to other remedies) terminate this Agreement (effective as of such time as stated in USL’s written notice of termination) in whole or with respect only to the country in the Territory in which the judgment or award applies and such termination shall be deemed a termination for uncured breach by Orion under Section 20.2.1 of this Agreement; and (b) Orion may also terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior written notice, provided that (1) such termination shall be with respect only to the country in the Territory in which the judgment or award applies (unless USL has given its prior written consent to permit the termination to be effective with respect to this Agreement in whole); and (2) any such termination by Orion shall be deemed a material breach by Orion and shall be treated the same as termination by USL for uncured breach by Orion under Section 20.2.1 of this Agreement, and Orion shall have all responsibility and liability, and USL all rights and remedies, subject to Section 16.13, as arise in the case of Orion’s material breach of its obligations to deliver for sale in the Territory by USL, its Affiliates and/or any sublicensees, Product that does not infringe the patent rights of any Third Party.

 

14.6                                           Indemnification for Infringement of Third Party Intellectual Property Rights.

 

14.6.1                                 USL shall defend, indemnify and hold Orion Indemnified Persons (as defined in Section 16.10(a) below) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, damages, claims, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any Third Party claim, suit, demand or action for any economic or property loss or damage, personal injury or death to the proportionate extent due to any claim that the use of a Trademark in connection with the Product violates the intellectual property rights of any Third Party. USL’s obligations under this Section 14.6.1 are conditioned upon the terms set forth in Section 16.10(b).

14.6.2                                 Orion shall defend, indemnify and hold the USL Indemnified Persons (as defined in Section 16.11(a) below) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, damages, claims, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any Third Party claim, demand, suit or action for any economic or property loss or damage or personal injury or death to the proportionate extent due to any claim that the Product violates the intellectual property rights of any Third Party except to the proportionate extent that any such claimed infringement arises the use of a Trademark used in connection with the Product. Orion’s obligations under this Section 14.6.2 are conditioned upon the terms set forth in Section 16.11(b). If Orion asserts a counterclaim against any such Third Party and obtains a recovery on such counterclaim against such Third Party, such recovery in such action shall first be distributed to reimburse the reasonable out of pocket expenses of Orion in such action. The balance of any recovery shall belong to USL, as the party of commercial interest in the Territory, whose damages will be the basis of any recovery in such counterclaim. The amount of that balance will, however, be deemed Net Sales of USL, and Know-how Royalties shall be paid to Orion thereon in accordance with Sections 6.9 or 13.4 (as applicable) above.

15.1                                           Marketing Plans. USL shall furnish to Orion, on a confidential basis, a draft launch plan for the Product timely in advance of the First Commercial Sale. The parties shall meet annually at USL (unless otherwise agreed upon by the Parties), on or about the anniversary of the First Commercial Sale, to discuss, on a confidential basis, USL’s annual marketing and sales plan for Product, including USL’s marketing strategy for the Product, including key promotional messages, as well as anticipated Net Sales for the upcoming Year. At such meeting, the Parties shall also review USL’s main marketing activities for the prior year, as well as the market share and sales performance of Product, including internally developed information and reports (to the extent existing in the ordinary course of USL’s business) regarding (a) market share development of Product in the Territory during the prior Year, as compared to the prior Year, (b) actual Net Sales during the prior Year as compared to anticipated/budgeted Net Sales in the Territory for that Year, (c) the market share and sales performance of Product compared with competing products in the Territory, market performance and trends for the class of products in which Product competes in the Territory, as well as a listing of potential competing products in the Territory of which USL is aware, and (d) a summary of prescription data regarding total and new prescriptions for Product in the Territory during the prior Year. It is understood that nothing in this Section 15.1 shall require USL to provide Orion with any information that USL has not already generated for its own internal reporting purposes or to provide any information in a format other than that used for its own purposes.

 

16                                                     PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS, QUALITY, WARRANTIES, INDEMNITIES

 

16.1                                           The Parties agree on the following with respect to issues related to each Product’s specifications and quality assurance, subject to any future, mutually agreed amendment(s) hereto that may be made.

 

16.2                                           Product Warranties.

 

16.2.1                                 Orion represents and warrants to USL that any Product supplied to USL under this Agreement:

 

(a)                                 was manufactured, labeled (to the extent of Orion’s responsibility as described in Section 10.7 above) packaged, tested and shipped in accordance with all laws and regulations applicable to manufacture of Product in the country of manufacture and in

accordance with CGMP, the Product NDA and the Act. Orion further warrants that, to the extent applicable, the Product supplied to USL shall be manufactured in a facility approved in the NDA, and (to the extent applicable) as of the date of shipment are not adulterated or misbranded (within the meaning of the Act), and are not an article which may not, under the provisions of Section 404, 505 or 513 of the Act, be introduced in interstate commerce; and

 

(b)                                 conforms to the Specifications from the time of delivery to USL until the end of the specified Product shelf life, provided that it is handled and stored properly and in accordance with the pertaining instructions.

 

NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND MERCHANTABILITY, ARE MADE OR WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MADE BY ORION REGARDING THE PRODUCT.

 

16.2.2                                 Each of Orion and USL represents and warrants that neither it nor any of its Affiliates have been debarred or is subject to debarment and will not use in any capacity, in connection with the services to be performed under this Agreement, any person who has been debarred pursuant to Section 306 of the Act, and that (in the case of Orion) its manufacturing facilities conform, and shall continue to conform throughout the term of this Agreement, in all respects to applicable law and regulations governing such facilities.

 

16.3                                           Changes to Specifications. Orion will not modify any of the Specifications, specifications for any of the raw materials used in producing the Product (including without limitation the Compound), or any process or procedure used to manufacture the same, or change the equipment used in the manufacture of Product (except for repair or replacement of existing equipment), or change any of its suppliers of any raw materials used in producing Product, in each case without obtaining the prior written consent of USL, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and any approvals required for purposes of obtaining or maintaining any Regulatory Approval of the Product affected by such modification. Any such change shall be implemented only after all necessary consents and approvals of, and notifications to, the FDA have been obtained or made, and shall be implemented in a manner that does not impact Orion’s ability to supply Product to USL in accordance with the provisions of Section 6. Orion shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses incurred in making any such changes or modifications, except to the extent such changes or modifications have been requested by USL, in which case such costs shall be borne by USL; provided further that should such changes result in economic benefit for Orion the allocation of such costs and expenses between the Parties shall be separately agreed, as reasonable.

 

The Parties acknowledge that the Specifications for Product attached hereto as Schedule 4 are preliminary and the Parties shall work in good faith to finalize such Specifications at the appropriate time; provided, however, for clarity, such final Specifications shall be subject to FDA approval.

 

16.4                                           Certificate of Analysis. Orion shall deliver with each shipment of Product a certificate of analysis, accompanied by a statement that the batch was manufactured according to the Quality Assurance Agreement, together with any other batch related records specified in the Quality Assurance Agreement. Without limitation, the certificate of analysis shall set forth the items tested, specifications and test results for each lot delivered, all in a manner which complies with the NDA, the Act and other applicable laws and regulatory requirements.

shipment (including all deviation reports and investigations) will, within seven (7) working days after release of the Product, be shipped to USL’s Quality Assurance Unit for review.

 

16.5                                           Analytical Methods and Stability Studies. Prior to Orion’s first delivery of Product, Orion will provide USL with the relevant analytical test methods information for Product to enable USL to exercise its inspection rights under Section 16.6 below and/or to qualify- as a back-up manufacturer of bulk gel/gel sachets of Product, which test methods shall be deemed Confidential Information of Orion. Orion shall be responsible for conducting, at its expense, all required stability studies for Product (except for studies relating to Product that is not manufactured by Orion). Without limitation, Orion must perform its standard stability test program as committed to in the Product NDA and as defined in Orion’s SOPs, the applicable FDA guidelines and ICH. Orion will provide USL with a copy of its stability reports, as they become available, for each Product. Orion will within, three working (3) days, after a confirmed Out Of Specification (“OOS”) result in the stability testing for a Product, and prior to re-testing for stability, notify USL of those results. In addition, to the extent applicable, Orion will undertake all validation work as may be required by the NDA, CGMP, the Act or other applicable law, Orion’s standard operating procedures, or as otherwise agreed upon by the parties.

 

16.6                                           Inspection of Batches.

 

(a)                                 USL shall inspect and analyze each batch of Product delivered after receipt. If USL reasonably believes the delivered Product does not meet Specifications, or has any other defect, USL shall notify Orion in writing of any such claims within forty-five (45) days after USL’s receipt of Product and all documentation as provided in this Agreement or the Quality Assurance Agreement. In the event USL does not notify Orion of any such defect within the applicable forty-five (45) day period, USL shall be deemed to have accepted the shipment, except for latent defects that could not have been reasonably discovered upon said inspection. Acceptance will not affect USL’s rights if any certification provided by Orion is false or inaccurate.

 

Any claims regarding delivered Product shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and basis for the claim and cite relevant Orion control numbers or other information to enable specific identification of Product involved. All claims made by USL regarding quantity or quality of Product shall be handled on a case by case basis during which time Orion shall have the right to first inspect any delivery of Product involved before being required to take any action with respect thereto. USL shall not be required to accept Product which has an actual shelf life after delivery from Orion of less than [***] of the shelf-life approved in the Regulatory Approval for the Product or [***], whichever is longer.

 

(b)                                 Orion shall promptly review any such claim of Product non-conformity timely made by USL within seven (7) days of being notified of same, or more expediently if the FDA requires a more prompt response from Orion or USL.

 

If such review and testing by Orion confirms that a delivery of Product being objected to by USL does not meet the required Specifications, or was otherwise defective, then USL shall dispose of or return such delivery as Orion shall direct in writing, at Orion’s expense, and Orion shall use all reasonable efforts to replace, at Orion’s expense, that rejected Product with conforming Product as soon as possible, but not later than sixty (60) days after USL’s notice of rejection.

Orion shall grant USL full credit for the original invoiced amount (plus interest thereon from the date paid through the date credited at a rate of [***] annually) for any rejected Product paid, plus any additional reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by USL in the transportation and importation, inspection, and disposal of such defective or non-conforming Product. If the Parties fail to agree as to whether a delivered quantity meets its required Specifications, or was otherwise defective, then the Parties agree to have the batch in dispute tested and further analyzed by a recognized independent testing laboratory located in the Territory selected by agreement of the Parties. Should said laboratory’s testing determine that the required Specifications were not met, or the Product was otherwise defective, then their decision shall be deemed final and in such case Orion will bear the costs of said independent laboratory’s testing. If said quantity of Product is determined by said independent laboratory to have met its Specifications, and to have not otherwise been defective, then USL shall bear all costs of the independent laboratory testing.

 

Orion shall deliver a replacement quantity of Product to USL meeting required Specifications even while a dispute as described the preceding paragraph is awaiting resolution by such testing laboratory (it being understood that such delivery of replacement Product will not impair any claims or defenses relating to said dispute).

 

16.7                                           Storage Conditions. USL, its Affiliates and Agents dealing with Product shall ensure that Product under it or their control is at all times properly stored under conditions that will not adversely affect its quality or Specifications or actual shelf life required under an applicable Regulatory Approval.

 

16.8                                           Inspection Rights. Upon reasonable prior notice, Orion shall permit USL to review periodically Orion’s quality control procedures and records, during normal business hours and not more than once per Year (absent unusual circumstances when more frequent access is reasonable), in order to assure satisfaction with Orion’s compliance with the requirements of this Agreement, and the Quality Assurance Agreement. To the extent reasonably required in order for USL to comply with applicable laws and regulations or verify compliance with this Agreement, USL’s personnel may visit Orion’s production facilities used to manufacture or store Product upon reasonable prior notice. Such visits shall be conducted in a reasonable manner and shall be limited to the equipment, records, production facilities and laboratories pertinent to the manufacture, testing, and storage of the Product.                Orion shall, reasonably cooperate with USL representatives who may visit Orion’s production facility as provided in this Section 16.8. In addition, USL shall be given reasonable opportunity, to assist Orion, at USL’s expense, Orion in preparation for a pre-approval inspection by the FDA.

 

16.9                                           Records. USL and Regulatory Authorities shall have the right to audit Orion’s records relating to its manufacture of Product under this Agreement. Orion shall maintain reserve samples, all batch and other manufacturing and analytical records, all records of shipments of the Product, and all validation data relating to the Product and other applicable records, to the extent and for the time periods required by applicable laws and regulations, and shall make such data available to USL and Regulatory Authorities upon USL’s reasonable request or if required by law. Orion shall have the corresponding rights as USL under this Section and USL the corresponding obligations as Orion under this Section with respect to such matters in the event USL exercises its back-up manufacturing rights for Product under this Agreement.

Each Party shall obtain and maintain reasonable product liability insurance with respect to Product and appropriate comprehensive general liability insurance, which may be self-insurance. Each party shall maintain product liability insurance in an amount not less than [***] United States dollars (US$[***]); in the aggregate. At the inception of this Agreement and thereafter periodically upon request, each Party shall furnish the other with a certificate of insurance evidencing that such insurance coverage is in force. Each Party shall diligently pursue recovery of insurance proceeds from a Third Party when a claim arises.

 

16.13                                    Limitation of Liability. Except as otherwise and expressly provided for in this Agreement, in no event shall either Party be held liable to the other Party, its Affiliate(s), or any “Contractual Third Party” (except for a Contractual Third Party claim for damage that may be indemnifiable (i) under Section 14.6.2, or (ii) under Section 16.10(a) or 16.11(a) (as applicable) for personal injury or death), for lost profits or, without limitation, any other indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages incurred by the other Party or its Affiliates, or any Contractual Third Party (except as stated above in this Section 16.13), and arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, or any breach thereof in excess (in the aggregate) of the “Applicable Consequential Damages Cap.” For purposes of this Agreement “Applicable Consequential Damages Cap” shall mean with respect to such indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages owed by either Party to the other, an amount equal to [***] of the aggregate Minimum Net Sales for Years 1 through 5 as stated in Section 7.2, except with respect to such indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages owed by Orion to USL arising from or related to any failure to deliver or suspension of delivery of Product by Orion in connection with a claim that the Product infringes a Third Party’s intellectual property rights, in which case the “Applicable Consequential Damages Cap” shall equal [***] of the aggregate Minimum Net Sales for Years I through 5 as stated in Section 7.2. In addition, any claim by Orion for Shortfall Royalties shall be deemed a claim for consequential damages (rather than direct damages). Other than as stated above in this Section 16.13, nothing in this Agreement is intended to, nor shall it, limit or restrict the obligation of either party to indemnify the other in connection with Third Party claims as provided in this Agreement. A “Contractual Third Party” means a Third Party that, with respect to a Party, (A) is such Party’s Agent, sublicensee, Third Party private label distributor, or (B) otherwise has a contractual relationship with such Party, its Agent, sublicensee or Third Party private label distributor related to the manufacture, testing, development, or sale, distribution, supply or purchase in the Territory, of the Product.

In the event (i) the FDA issues a request, directive or order that any Product be recalled, or (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction orders such a recall, or (iii) Orion reasonably determines, after consultation with USL, that any Product should be recalled because the Product does not conform to Specifications, or (iv) USL, after consultation with Orion, reasonably determines that any Product should be recalled for any reason, the parties will take all appropriate corrective actions reasonably requested by the other party or by the FDA. In the event that any such recall results from the breach of Orion’ warranties or obligations under this Agreement, or Orion is otherwise responsible for the recall, Orion will be responsible for all of the reasonable expenses of the recall. In the event that any such recall results from the breach of USL’s warranties or obligations under this Agreement, or USL is otherwise responsible for the recall, USL will be responsible for all of the reasonable expenses of the recall. For the

purposes of this Agreement, the reasonable expenses of the recall include, without limitation, all expenses for notification of customers and the destruction or return of the recalled Product, as well as all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Orion and USL in connection with any corrective action taken by Orion and USL. USL will conduct the recall process in accordance with applicable law and regulation, as well as USL’s standard operating procedures. USL and Orion will fully cooperate with the other party to assist in the recall process as reasonably necessary to complete the process.

 

16.15                                    Complaints. Each Party agrees to provide the other Party with such patient experience data as are available, consistent with applicable law, to each Party to assist the other Party in responding to “complaints” pertaining to Product characteristics; i.e. patient complaints of sub-potency, unpleasant taste and the like. Orion will be responsible for conducting investigations for all complaints related to Product manufacture, primary packaging or nonconformance to the Specifications. Orion will report the results of such investigation within thirty (30) days after notification of the complaint. All other complaints such as those relating to secondary packaging features or other Product related matters will be the responsibility of USL to address.

Except as permitted by the foregoing provisions or as otherwise required by law or the rules of any relevant stock exchange, the Parties shall not disclose any terms or conditions of this Agreement to any Third Party without the prior consent of the other Party; provided that each Party shall be entitled to disclose the terms of this Agreement without such consent to its advisors and financing sources on the condition that such entities or persons agree to keep such terms confidential for the same time periods and to the same extent as such Party is required to keep such terms confidential.

fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes that are beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party and that could not have been avoided by the exercise of reasonable diligence, provided, however, that the Party so affected shall use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to avoid or remove or mitigate such causes of non-performance, and shall continue performance with reasonable dispatch wherever such causes are removed. In the event of a force majeure effecting either party’s performance, that party will allocate materials, personnel and resources equitably among all of Orion, USL and Orion’s other customers and commitments.

In case one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall be construed by limiting such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, or if such is not possible, by deleting such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision from this Agreement; provided that should this Agreement as a result of any such deleting not any more reasonably correspond to the good faith intent of the Parties, either Party may propose to the other Party amendments also to the other provisions of this Agreement in order to have the Agreement correspond to such good faith intent and negotiate in good faith on such amendment(s).

 

20                                                     RIGHT TO EARLIER TERMINATION

Either of the Parties shall have the right, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies or other relief available to it under the governing law and this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement forthwith if the other Party becomes insolvent, is adjudged bankrupt, applies for judicial or extra-judicial settlement with its creditors, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, voluntarily files for bankruptcy or has a receiver or trustee or the like in bankruptcy appointed by reason of its insolvency, or in the event an involuntary bankruptcy action is filed against the other Party and not dismissed within ninety (90) days, or if the other Party becomes the subject of liquidation or dissolution proceedings or otherwise discontinues business.

 

20.2                                           Material Breach.

 

20.2.1                                 In the event a Party materially breaches any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement (the “Defaulting Party”) the other Party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) may give written notice of such breach to the Defaulting Party, specifying the nature of the material breach and requesting a cure (the “Default Notice”). If the Defaulting Party fails to fully cure or to take appropriate action to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Default Notice from the Non-Defaulting Party, then the Non-Defaulting Party may terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon written notice of termination to the Defaulting Party provided such termination notice must be given within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the applicable cure period. Termination under this Section 20.2.1 shall be automatically stayed for the duration of any proceedings initiated under Section 25. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of an uncured material breach by USI, with respect to its performance under this Agreement only in Canada, Orion may terminate this Agreement only with respect to Canada, and thereafter (1) the term “Territory” shall exclude Canada, and

20.2.3                                 In the event of termination by Orion under Section 20.2.1, USL shall, upon Orion’s request, promptly, and without charge to Orion, execute assignments (in form reasonably acceptable to Orion) transferring to Orion the following: (i) all development data and other information arising out of or in connection with the development work conducted in accordance with the Development Plan by or on behalf of USL pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, copies of its correspondence with Regulatory Authorities regarding the same, a copy of all information in its possession or under its control that is contained in its regulatory and/or safety databases relating to the Product, including all materials prepared by USL relating to the Product NDA for the Product for the Territory, all in the format then currently maintained by USL; (ii) all Regulatory Approvals for the Product, including but not limited to the NDA, and any applications therefor, in Territory; and (iii) at the request of Orion any ongoing development work in relation to the Product and the management of any studies forming part of the Development Plan being carried out by or on behalf of USL at the date of termination.

20.3                                           Termination Due to Shortfall.

 

20.3.1                                 Orion may terminate this Agreement in accordance with and subject to Section 7.5 and USL may terminate this Agreement in accordance with and subject to Section 7.4. In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.5 or Section 7.4, Section 20.2.3 shall apply subject to Section 20.3.2.

 

20.3.2                                 If USL terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.4, or Orion terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.5, and within two years after the date of termination enters into an agreement granting a Third Party rights to distribute the Product in the Territory, Orion must give USL’s independent accountants a copy of such agreement (the “Third Party Agreement”). The independent accountant shall not disclose the terms of the Third Party Agreement to USL

unless (a) the terms of the Third Party Agreement are more favorable than the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to royalty rate, supply price, minimum obligations requirements, or other material terms, or (b) in the case of termination under Section 7.4, if the parties entered into good faith negotiations to adjust the Minimum Net Sales in accordance with Section 7.4, the terms of the Third Party Agreement are more favorable than those set forth in the last proposal of Orion to adjust the Minimum Net Sales during those negotiations.
