The receiving party shall for a period of five (5) years from the date of disclosure (i) hold the disclosing party’s Confidential Information in strict confidence, and (ii), except as previously authorized in writing by the disclosing party, not publish or disclose the disclosing party’s Confidential Information to anyone other than the receiving party’s employees on a need-to-know basis, and (iii) use the disclosing party’s Confidential Information solely for performance of this Contract. The foregoing requirement shall not apply to any portion of a party’s Confidential Information which (a) becomes publicly known through no wrongful act or omission on the part of the receiving party; (b) is already known to the receiving party at the time of the disclosure without similar nondisclosure obligations; (c) is rightfully received by the receiving party from a third party without similar nondisclosure obligations; (d) is approved for release by written authorization of the disclosing party; (e) is clearly demonstrated by the receiving party to have been independently developed by the receiving party without access to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information; or (f) is required to be disclosed by order of a court or governmental body or by applicable law, provided that the party intending to make such required disclosure shall promptly notify the other party of such intended disclosure in order to allow such party to seek a protective order or other remedy.
Confidential In the case of pharmacy incentive programs, hospital performance incentive programs, chargebacks, disease management programs, similar programs or discounts on portfolio product offerings, all rebates, discounts and other forms of reimbursements will be allocated among products on the basis on which such rebates, discounts and other forms of reimbursements were actually granted or, if such basis cannot be determined, in accordance with the Selling Party’s existing allocation method, provided that any such allocation will be done in accordance with Applicable Law, including any price reporting laws, rules and regulations. The Selling Party’s transfer of any Product to an Affiliate or Sublicensee will not result in any Net Sales unless the transferee is an end user. Net Sales will also include the fair market value of all consideration received by the Selling Party in respect of any sale of the Product (other than those excluded from Net Sales under the last sentence of this definition or otherwise), whether such consideration is in cash, payment in kind, exchange for value or another form. If any discounts or other deductions or rebates are made in connection with sales of a Product that is bundled or sold together with other products of the Selling Party, then the discount, deduction or rebate applied to the Product will not exceed the discount, deduction or rebate applied to any of the other products of the Selling Party in such arrangement based upon the respective list prices of the Product and such other products prior to applying the discount, unless Sanofi provides (or causes its Sublicensee to so provide) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Principia that such difference is commercially reasonable and does not unfairly prejudice the Product in favor of such other products. On a country-by-country basis, in the event a Product is sold as a combination product comprising (x) a Compound and (y) one or more other pharmaceutically active ingredient(s) (with respect to (y), “Other API” and with respect to (x) and (y), a “Combination Product”), Net Sales, for purposes of determining royalty payments on such Product, will be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction A/(A+B), where A is the average gross invoice price of the Product in the same dose and quantity, in the same country and during the same Calendar Quarter when sold separately in such country and B is the gross invoice price of the other average net invoice prices in such country of Other API included in the Combination Product when sold as separate pharmaceutical product in the same dose and quantity and during the same Calendar Quarter in such country. With respect to any Combination Product where (i) the Other API is not sold separately in the applicable country during the applicable accounting period, (ii) the other active ingredient is a generic form of an approved drug product (whereby there are no Third Party Patents, in the country of sale, claiming or covering composition of matter, method of use, formulation or combination of such form that is included in the Combination Product), or (iii) the Product containing the Compound is not sold separately in the applicable country during the applicable accounting period, then the Parties will negotiate in good faith a reasonable adjustment to Net Sales in such country that takes into account the medical contribution to the Combination Product of, and all other factors reasonably relevant to the relative value of, the Compound(s), on the one hand, and the Other API, collectively, on the other hand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that adjuvants or excipients contained in a Product (including chemical entities or technologies improving solubility, stability, bioavailability or pharmacokinetic profile of a Product) will not be deemed to be active ingredients.
