will be
THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN REDACTED AND IS THE SUBJECT OF A CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUEST. REDACTED MATERIAL IS MARKED WITH "*" AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
determined in a function of the total volume of Products Manufactured by
ACT II and invoiced to XXXXXXX during such calendar year and will be
calculated in accordance with the brackets set forth in Exhibit D
attached hereto.
The actual Manufacturing Fee due during any given calendar year will be
calculated as follows;
6.1.1 The Manufacturing Fee for the initial batches of Product
Manufactured and invoiced by ACT II prior to the expiration of the
first calendar year following the first commercial launch of the
Final Product shall be calculated as a percentage of the estimated
weighted average price offered by XXXXXXX, its Affiliates or
licensees to independent unrelated third parties for the Final
Product. Such weighted average price will be calculated by
multiplying the forecasted net selling price of the Final Product
(expressed in USD at the exchange rates then applied by XXXXXXX in
accordance with its normal accounting procedures) in each country
of Territory where XXXXXXX intends to launch the Final Product in
the calendar year following the calendar year of the first
commercial launch of the Final Product times the total number of
units of the Final Product XXXXXXX forecasts to sell in those
countries during such period.
The actual percentage to be paid as Manufacturing Fee in such
period will be calculated on the basis of the total number of
units of the Product ACT II is required to Manufacture and ship to
XXXXXXX during such period based on the forecast provided by
XXXXXXX in accordance with Article 2.3.
Within [***] following the end of every calendar quarter either
party may request a recalculation of the then applicable
Manufacturing Fee whenever there is a deviation of more than [***]
in the total number of Products actually Manufactured and shipped
by ACT II to XXXXXXX during such quarter and the number of units
forecasted by XXXXXXX. The parties will at such moment recalculate
and adjust the Manufacturing Fee based on (i) the revised supply
forecast and (ii) the then current Licensed Net Selling Price.
In the month of January following such first full calendar year
adjustment shall be made if there is deviation between (i) the
estimated weighted average price and the actual Licensed Net
Selling Price of the Final Product (expressed in USD at the
exchange rates then applied by XXXXXXX in accordance with its
normal accounting procedures) and /or
THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN REDACTED AND IS THE SUBJECT OF A CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUEST. REDACTED MATERIAL IS MARKED WITH "*" AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
(ii) the total volume of units of Product actually Manufactured
and invoiced by ACT II during such period.
Any corrective payment to be made resulting from such
reconciliation will be paid by the party owing such a payment
within [***] after such reconciliation and in accordance with the
provisions of Article 6.4.
6.1.2 The Manufacturing Fee for any calendar year following the initial
period as specified under Article 6.1.1 above will be calculated
on the basis of the forecasted (i) Licensed Net Selling Price
(expressed in USD at the exchange rates then applied by XXXXXXX in
accordance with its normal accounting procedures) and (ii) the
amount of Product expressed in units to be Manufactured and
shipped by ACT II for such calendar year.
Within [***] following the end of every calendar quarter either
party may request a recalculation of the then applicable
Manufacturing Fee whenever there is a deviation of more than [***]
in the total number of Products actually Manufactured and shipped
by ACT II during such quarter and the number of units forecasted
by XXXXXXX. The parties will at such moment recalculate and adjust
the Manufacturing Fee for the remainder of the calendar year based
on (i) the revised supply forecast and (ii) the then current
Licensed Net Selling Price.
In the month of January following any calendar year adjustment
shall be made if there is deviation between (i) the estimated
weighted average price and the actual Licensed Net Selling Price
of the Final Product (expressed in USD at the exchange rates then
applied by XXXXXXX in accordance with its normal accounting
procedures) and/or (ii) the total volume of units of Product
actually Manufactured and invoiced by ACT II during such calendar
year. Any corrective payment to be made resulting from such
reconciliation will be paid by the party owing such a payment
within [***] after such reconciliation and in accordance with the
provisions of Article 6.4.
6.2 XXXXXXX will keep accurate records of the Licensed Net Selling Price with
a view to determine the accuracy of the Manufacturing Fee calculation for
a period of at least two (2) years after expiry of the year they concern.
ACT II shall have the right to nominate an independent certified public
accountant acceptable to and approved by XXXXXXX US or JPI as the case
may be who
