4.8 Material Changes. Eagle acknowledges no Product is available for Commercialization as of the date hereof and that the service levels and requirements of Eagle and its personnel under this Article IV and  the accompanying Schedules are based on the Parties’ current expectations regarding SM-88 (racemetyrosine)’s approval pathway in pancreatic cancer.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that any such amendment will be made in good faith to preserve the spirit and service levels established hereunder for such new indications or changes. Any disputes arising from this Section 4.8 or amendments to the Operating Parameters Schedule incident thereto that are not resolved by the Senior Officers pursuant to Section 3.4.1 shall be governed by Section 12.6.

6.1.2 Adjustment of Promotion Fee. In the event that Eagle fails to satisfy the Eagle Quarterly Minimum Details for the Product or fails to demonstrate Commercially Reasonable Efforts to execute on other aspects of the Sales Plan then in effect for a period of two (2) consecutive Fiscal Quarters, the promotion fee payable by TYME pursuant to Section 6.1.1(a) shall be reduced to twelve percent (12%) for subsequent Fiscal Quarters and Eagle shall continue to receive such reduced promotion fee until such Fiscal Quarter in which Eagle satisfies the Eagle Quarterly Minimum Details for the Product or demonstrates Commercially Reasonable Efforts to execute on other aspects of the Sales Plan, as the case may be.

18

 

EXECUTION VERSION

 

Eagle’s failure to meet the Eagle Quarterly Minimum Details or to demonstrate Commercially Reasonable Efforts to execute on other aspects of the Sales Plan then in effect for the Product for a period of four (4) consecutive Fiscal Quarters shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement (it being understood that a failure to meet the Eagle Quarterly Minimum Details or to demonstrate Commercially Reasonable Efforts to execute on other aspects of the Sales Plan then in effect for the Product for any period less than four consecutive Fiscal Quarters shall not alone be deemed a material breach of this Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, such material breach of this Agreement shall give rise to TYME’s immediate ability to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2.2 and shall not be subject to any cure period.

6.2 Reports; Payments.

6.2.1 Quarterly Reports and Payments. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter during the Term, TYME shall provide to Eagle a written report setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the Net Sales for such Fiscal Quarter and the promotion fee payable in respect of such Net Sales in accordance with Section 6.1, including the number of units of the Product shipped to patients in the Territory during such Fiscal Quarter, together with an itemized list of such units by Target Professional writing the applicable prescription. Within sixty (60) days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter during the Term, TYME shall pay to Eagle the undisputed portion of the promotion fee payable in respect of such Net Sales in accordance with Section 6.1. If this Agreement terminates or expires during a Fiscal Quarter, the promotion fee payable to Eagle under Section 6.1 shall be calculated only on the Net Sales that occurred during prior to the effective date of such termination or expiration in such Fiscal Quarter.

6.2.2 Monthly Estimate Reports. Within fifteen (15) Business Days of the end of each month within each Fiscal Quarter, TYME shall provide to Eagle a written report setting forth TYME’s good faith estimate of the Net Sales and the estimated promotion fee payable in respect of such Net Sales for each of such calendar month and the Fiscal Quarter- to-date period, together with its good faith estimates of each of the items described in Section 6.2.1 above. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the monthly reports shall only set forth TYME’s good faith estimates of the items contained therein and are being provided to Eagle for information purposes only and shall not be determinative of the any amounts due hereunder.

6.2.3 Payment Adjustments. If new information becomes available after the close of a Fiscal Quarter under the process described in Section 6.2.1 that would adjust the amount of recognized Net Sales or payments under this Agreement, such adjustments shall be made in the Fiscal Quarter they become available. Additions or deductions in payments resulting from any adjustments shall be applied to the next regularly scheduled quarterly payment.

6.2.4 Disputes. Promptly upon receipt of the quarterly or monthly reports described in this Section 6.2, Eagle shall review such reports and, in the event that Eagle disputes any of the items described in such report, Eagle shall promptly notify TYME of any such disputes. The Parties shall meet promptly thereafter to attempt to resolve such disputes.

6.2.5 Manner of Payment. All payments under this Agreement shall be made in US Dollars by wire transfer or Automated Clearing House to a bank account designated in writing by Eagle or TYME, as applicable, which shall be designated at least five (5) Business Days before such payment is due.

6.2.6 Late Payments. If Eagle does not receive payment of any sum due to it on or before the due date, simple interest shall thereafter accrue on the sum due to Eagle from the due date until the date of payment at the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the due date plus two percent (2.0%) per annum or the maximum rate allowable by Applicable Law, whichever is less. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the reason for any late payment is resulting from or arising out of any act or omission on the part of Eagle, including, but not limited to, any delay providing the payment instructions pursuant to Section 6.2.5, such interest shall not accrue. For clarity, any payments due from adjustments under Section 6.2.3 shall not be considered late payments.

6.3 Taxes. To the extent TYME is required to deduct and withhold taxes from any payment to Eagle, TYME shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to Eagle an official tax receipt or other evidence of timely payment sufficient to enable Eagle to claim the payment of such taxes as a deduction or tax credit. Eagle may provide to TYME any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for TYME to not withhold tax and TYME shall dispense with withholding, as applicable. TYME shall provide Eagle with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Applicable Laws, of withholding taxes.

The failure to give such notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has suffered actual prejudice thereby.

11.4 Survival. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any rights that shall have accrued to the benefit of any Party prior to such termination or expiration.
