SciClone is committed to growing the number of hospital listings to continually improve the market access for Neucardin. Appendix 5 sets forth projected accumulated hospital listings [***], and [***]% of the projected listings represent the “Performance Targets”.

It is currently assumed that Appendix 5 represents a scenario that each of the provinces in China that Sciclone plans to have bidding and hospital listing process according to the Commercialization Plan initiating new bidding announcements within [***] years after Neucardin’s bidding in the first province. It is also assumed that the CFDA approval for Neucardin will be [***] and with a label as per [***]. If the above assumptions change, SciClone and Zensun will work together through the JSC to establish and agree on revised Performance Targets, which should be reasonably adjusted based on current Performance Targets, or appoint an independent third party mutually acceptable to SciClone and Zensun to make the final adjustment if the parties cannot reach consensus, within [***] days after one party initiates (as evidenced by written request) discussions on revised Performance Targets.

The JSC will be populated by [***] representatives from each company, each with appropriate decision-making authority.
All decisions of the JSC will be by [***]. In the event the JSC members do not reach consensus on a matter, then Zensun would hold the tie-breaking vote with respect to [***]; and SciClone would hold the tie-breaking vote with respect to [***].
Zensun and SciClone expect additional preparatory work in order to be granted a manufacturing license by the PRC regulatory authorities prior to first commercial sales of Neucardin.
