then this component of the Share of Specific Countries Net Sales would be *** and a further calculation would be required. If the Floor Price was ***, then the Share of Floor Price would be calculated as *** and the Supply and Floor Price Difference would be calculated as ***. As the Share of Floor Price is positive, EUSA would be able to recover *** against amounts owed under Sections 8.8.1(a) and (b). As a third example, if *** of the Net Sales of the 5x5 Product in country A equals *** for Q1 and the Supply Price *** times the number of units sold *** equals ***, then this component of the Share of Specific Countries Net Sales would be *** and a further calculation would be required. If the Floor Price was ***, then the Share of Floor Price would be calculated as ***. As the Share of Floor Price is negative, EUSA would be able to recover the Supply and Floor Price Difference of *** against amounts owed under Sections 8.8.1(a) and (b).
8.8.2 Japan. In addition to the Supply Price, as additional purchase price for the supply of the Product EUSA shall pay to Innocoll, with respect to sales of the Product in Japan for each Calendar Quarter, *** of (a) aggregate Net Sales of the Product for each Calendar Quarter in Japan, less the Supply Price times the number of units of the Products sold in Japan during such Calendar Quarter, plus (b) any licensing fees and milestone payments (and other payments having substantially the same economic effect, but excluding any payments to the extent the same shall be payment or reimbursement of actual or planned, and documented future product development costs, as set forth in any applicable Third Party Agreement or the C-Topical product development plan approved by the Third Party and EUSA pursuant thereto) received by EUSA from Third Parties during such Calendar Year for the right to market and sell the Product in Japan (“Share of Japanese Net Revenue”); provided that if such amount is negative, then no additional amount shall payable to Innocoll for sale of the Product in Japan for such Calendar Quarter. As a first example, if *** of the Net Sales of the 5x5 Product in Japan equals *** for Q1 and the Supply Price *** times the number of units sold *** equals ***, and there are no licensing fees or milestone payments received by EUSA in Q1, then the amount payable for the Share of Japanese Net Revenue would be ***. As a second example, if *** of the Net Sales of the 5x5 Product in Japan equals *** for Q1 and the Supply Price *** times the number of units sold *** equals ***, and there are no licensing fees or milestone payments received by EUSA in Q1, then the amount payable would be ***.
8.8.3 Quarterly Minimums. EUSA shall be obligated to purchase Product during each Calendar Quarter equal to the Quarterly Minimums applicable to such Calendar Quarter. If purchases of Product in any Calendar Quarter are less than the applicable Quarterly Minimum, EUSA, at its option, may either (i) purchase additional amounts of Product during the ten (10) Business Day period after the end of such Calendar Quarter to satisfy the Quarterly Minimum or (ii) pay Innocoll an amount equal to the Quarterly Minimum less the dollar amount of Product purchased by EUSA during such Calendar Quarter. To the extent that option (ii) is chosen by EUSA, the reconciliation at the end of the corresponding Calendar Year shall include
24 |
Confidential Materials omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 406 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Confidential portions are marked: [ *** ] |
a credit issued to EUSA toward future purchases of Product from Innocoll. To the extent that option (i) is chosen by EUSA, the reconciliation at the end of such Calendar Year shall not include any credit issued to EUSA. Except as provided in option (i) above, for Product to qualify for inclusion in the Quarterly Minimums, such Product must be included in a Purchase Order pursuant to which the ship date requested by EUSA falls within the corresponding Calendar Quarter and EUSA makes full payment for such Purchase Order within the time period set forth in Section 8.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Innocoll fails to supply quantities of Product scheduled for sale for a Calendar Quarter in accordance with binding Purchase Orders and the amount supplied by Innocoll is less than the Quarterly Minimums for such Calendar Quarter, then for such Calendar Quarter the Quarterly Minimums will be reduced to the amount actually supplied by Innocoll in such Calendar Quarter.
8.9 Reports. Within thirty (30) Business Days following the end of each Calendar Quarter, EUSA shall provide Innocoll for such Calendar Quarter a report setting forth, on a country-by-country basis, the Net Sales with respect to the Product, the currency conversion rate used and the Euro-equivalent of such Net Sales, and a calculation of the amount due on such Net Sales in accordance with Section 8.8 (“Sales Reports”). Payments due pursuant to Section 8.8 are due and payable within thirty (30) days following the date of the Sales Report during the Term for which there were Net Sales of Product in the Territory. Each Sales Report will be considered Confidential Information of EUSA subject to the obligations of Article 10 of this Agreement.
8.10 Payment Term. Payments due under Section 8.8 will commence upon the first commercial sale of the Product in a particular country in the Territory and will continue on a country-by-country basis for a period of *** thereafter.
8.11 Financial Audit. Each Party will have the right to have an independent certified public accounting firm (i.e., other than such Party’s own auditors during the prior *** period) of internationally recognized standing, reasonably acceptable to the other Party, access during normal business hours, and upon reasonable prior written notice, such of the records of the other Party as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of any expenses shared or paid by the other Party under this Agreement or the calculation of Net Sales or sums paid under Section 8.2 of this Agreement for any Calendar Year ending not more than three (3) years prior to the date of such request; provided, however, that the auditing Party shall not be permitted to audit the same period of time more than once, unless evidence of fraud or gross negligence arises in a subsequent audit and the auditing Party reasonably believes that such evidence indicates the reasonable possibility of fraud or gross negligence in any such prior period. The accounting firm will disclose to the Parties only whether the various expenses subject to being shared by this Agreement and Net Sales reported and the corresponding royalty due by the audited Party and/or sums paid under Section 8.8 or any other provision of this Agreement are correct or incorrect. The auditing Party will bear all costs of such audit, unless the audit reveals a discrepancy in the

auditing Party’s favor of more than the greater of (a) five percent (5%) or (b) $100,000, in which case the audited Party will bear the cost of the audit. The result of the audit shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding on the Parties. EUSA shall obtain from any Permitted Sublicensee or subcontractor, as applicable, audit rights at least as favorable as the audit rights set forth in this Section 8.11 and the right to share the results of any such audit with Innocoll. In the event that Innocoll reasonably believes that there is a material inaccuracy in the reporting by such a sublicensee or subcontractor, as applicable, of the Net Sales of such sublicensee or subcontractor, then Innocoll may direct EUSA to exercise such audit rights in accordance with procedures reasonably requested by Innocoll. If, based on the results of any audit, additional payments are owed to either Party under this Agreement, then the paying Party will make such additional payments within thirty (30) Business Days (provided that the paying Party has received an invoice in respect of the same) after the accounting firm’s written report is delivered to the Parties.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” means all secret, confidential or proprietary information or data, whether provided in written, oral, graphic, video, computer, electronic or other form, provided pursuant to this Agreement by one (1) Party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”), including but not limited to, information relating to the Disclosing Party’s existing or proposed research, development efforts, patent applications, business or products, and any other materials that have not been made available by the Disclosing Party to the general public. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Confidential Information shall not include any information or materials that:
(a) were already known to the Receiving Party (other than under an obligation of confidentiality), at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party, to the extent such Receiving Party has documentary evidence to that effect;
(b) were generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of disclosure thereof to the Receiving Party;

In addition, notwithstanding Section 10.2, the Parties shall prepare standardized responses to anticipated inquiries from the public or press, stockholders, investors and/or analysts with respect to the Product or other activities hereunder that may be disclosed.

Each Party will obtain and keep in force insurance in scope and amount as required by Law in relation to its activities hereunder and such additional amounts as may be reasonably necessary to cover its indemnity obligations under this Agreement with scope and coverage as is normal and customary in the biotechnology/pharmaceutical industry generally for parties similarly situated.

Each Party will provide to the other Party upon request a certificate evidencing the insurance the Party is required to obtain and keep in force under this Article 13.

36 |
Confidential Materials omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 406 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Confidential portions are marked: [ *** ] |
Parties, this Agreement commenced on the Original MSA Effective Date and shall expire on the tenth (10th) anniversary thereof (the “Initial Term”) unless terminated earlier or extended or renewed in accordance with this Agreement (the Initial Term and any Renewal Terms (as defined below) collectively the “Term”). Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew for additional five (5) year periods (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless (a) written notice of non-renewal is provided by either Party to the other at least three (3) years prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or a Renewal Term or (b) this Agreement is terminated sooner as permitted hereunder.
14.2 Termination. Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in any of the following events:
14.2.1 Termination for Breach. Either Party may, without prejudice to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, terminate this Agreement in the event that the other Party (as used in this subsection, the “Breaching Party”) shall have materially breached or defaulted in the performance of any of its obligations. The Breaching Party shall have thirty (30) days in the case of any default other than undisputed amounts hereunder, or fifteen (15) Business Days in the case of a default or failure to pay any money due hereunder, after written notice thereof was provided to the Breaching Party by the non-breaching Party to remedy such default (or, if such default cannot be cured within such 30-day period, if the Breaching Party must commence and diligently continue actions to cure such default during such 30-day period). Any such termination shall become effective at the end of such 30-day period unless the Breaching Party has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of, as applicable, such 15-Business Day period or such 30-day period (or, if such default cannot be cured within such 30-day period, if the Breaching Party has commenced and diligently continued actions to cure such default). Innocoll’s failure to Manufacture Product in accordance with Specifications or to comply with cGMP or Law shall be a per se material breach of this Agreement.
14.2.2 Termination for Force Majeure Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event a Force Majeure Event shall have occurred and be continuing for ninety (90) consecutive days (“FM Period”), the Party not suffering such Force Majeure Event shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon written notice to the Party suffering such Force Majeure Event, provided, however, that in the event that a Force Majeure Event shall have occurred which results in a disruption of supply of Product to EUSA and Innocoll shall have identified a Third Party to Manufacture and supply Product and commenced audits and other steps required to prepare such Third Party to obtain Regulatory Approval within a FM Period then (i) EUSA shall not be entitled to so terminate this Agreement; (ii) the Parties will cooperate in Manufacture Approval Activities, and (iii) following receipt of necessary Regulatory Approvals and entering into a Third Party Agreement, such Third Party will supply Product to EUSA, it being understood and agreed that following the

cessation of the Force Majeure Event, Innocoll will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to recommence supply of Product from its own Manufacturing Facilities. In the event that Xxxxxxxx fails to identify a Third Party in the FM Period then EUSA may terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon another notice to Innocoll.
14.2.3 Termination for Reasons of Insolvency or Termination of Business Activities. Either Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement if the other Party becomes insolvent or is the subject of a petition in bankruptcy whether voluntary or involuntary (and not dismissed within sixty (60) days) or of any other proceeding under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, is named in such a petition, or its property is subject to a suit for the appointment of a receiver, or is dissolved or liquidated. Such termination right may be exercised without the need for written notice within thirty (30) days following the date as of which the Party entitled to terminate receives knowledge of such insolvency or termination of business activities by the other Party.

Neither Party shall have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, nor to take any action, which shall be binding on the other Party, except as may be explicitly authorized by the other Party in writing.

Further, the judicial or other competent authority making such determination shall have the power to limit, construe or reduce the duration, scope, activity and/or area of such provision, and/or delete specific words or phrases as necessary to render, such provision enforceable in such jurisdiction.
