WHEREAS, Repro-Med owns all of the rights to the Gyneco Products; and
WHEREAS, IPI desires to acquire certain rights relating to the Gyneco Products;
and
WHEREAS, Repro-Med desires to grant to IPI certain rights to the Gyneco Products
upon the terms and conditions contained herein.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and
agreements contained herein, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
1. Appointment of Distributor. On the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth herein, Repro-Med hereby appoints IPI, its successors and assigns, as
the sole and exclusive worldwide distributor of the Gyneco Products. While
serving as a distributor hereunder, IPI shall have a license to use the
following:
(a) the right to the use of the trade names, logos and other trade
designations, including all applications therefor and registrations
thereof and all other statutory or common law rights Repro-Med
has or may have with respect to the Gyneco Products;
(b) use of all permits, approvals, licenses and authorizations held by
Repro-Med relating to the manufacture and marketing of Gyneco
Products;
(c) all reasonably available marketing materials, including but not
limited to, trade show displays, masters, proofs, photos, computer
files and artwork in Repro-Med 's possession relating to the
Gyneco Products;
(d) all of Repro-Med 's rights, if any, with respect to enforcement
of any and all noncompetition, nonsolicitation, confidential and
proprietary information obligations between Repro-Med and the
employees or former employees of Repro-Med not employed by
IPI with respect to the Gyneco Products; and
(e) all of the rights and assets described in subsections (a) through
(d) of this Section 1 with respect to improvements and modifications
of the Gyneco Products or products developed or acquired by or on
behalf of Repro-Med that perform functions similar to those of
either of the Gyneco Products.
2. IPI's Freedom to Practice Under Repro-Med's Patents. Repro-Med hereby
grants IPI freedom, under Repro-Med's Patents to market the Gyneco Products.
Nothing herein shall constitute an assignment of Repro-Med's Patents to IPI. If
in the opinion of patent counsel acceptable both to Repro-Med and to IPI, any of
Repro-Med's Patents is infringed by a third party who manufactures or markets a
product deemed substantially equivalent to either of the Gyneco Products, then,
if requested to do so by IPI and agreed upon by Repro-Med, Repro-Med shall file
an infringement action in a Federal Court against the third party to enjoin such
infringement and to collect damages therefor and all legal and other expenses
incurred in this action shall be borne equally by Repro-Med and IPI and all
damages recovered in this action shall be equally divided by Repro-Med and IPI.
In the event that Repro-Med does not so agree and IPI agrees to pay all such
expenses, Repro-Med shall file such action. IPI shall be reimbursed for or
retain, as the case may be, all of its costs and expenses relating to any such
action from any amounts collected by IPI or Repro-Med as a result of such
action. Any remaining amounts so collected shall be allocated 80% to IPI and
20% to Repro-Med.
3. Termination of Exclusive Rights. In the event that sales of the Gyneco
Products do not reach the minimum levels set forth in Exhibit 3 hereto, the
rights of IPI to distribute the Gyneco Products shall become non-exclusive but
shall remain unchanged in all other respects. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event that sales of the Gyneco Products do not reach the minimum levels set
forth in Exhibit 3 hereto, Repro-Med shall have the option to terminate such
non-exclusive rights at any time in connection with the sale or entry of an
exclusive distribution agreement with a third party relating to the Gyneco
products at the end of any calendar month on at least 30 days' prior notice to
IPI upon payment to IPI of an amount equal to equal to IPI's sales of the Gyneco
Products in excess of $180,000 less its cost of such sales during the twelve
month period immediately preceding such termination by Repro-Med. The amount of
such sales and cost of sales shall be determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, consistently applied.
