SCHEDULE
A.
COMPUTER
TECHNOLOGY
ClearLobby,
represented as xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx, is an online service through which
pharmaceutical companies and physicians share information and
interact. ClearLobby is intended to supplant, to some degree, the
direct sales call by pharmaceutical sales representatives to
physicians. By placing those interactions online, through a highly
customizable web portal, ClearLobby is intended to make the detailing process
more efficient.
A hosted
service, ClearLobby provides pharmaceutical companies with an online vehicle to
present information to targeted physicians, who access the site with a login and
password.
ClearLobby
is intended to house industry’s presentations and educational content for
physicians – and be utilized in a manner that supplants unsolicited sales
representative calls to
physician
offices. A hosted portal with both physician user-specific and
industry client-specific
views,
ClearLobby will drive considerable efficiencies for both
constituents.
For
Physicians, ClearLobby will:
·
|
Aggregate
content from all pharmaceutical brands into a single, convenient
portal
|
·
|
Enable
them narrow what they see to only selected, relevant drugs and
products.
|
·
|
Allow
them to review that information at their convenience vs. in lieu of
revenue-producing activities.
|
·
|
Enable
them to selectively engage companies and sales reps as needed, through
interactive tools and feedback
mechanisms.
|
·
|
Facilitate
the formal control over sales rep access to their
practice.
|
For
Pharmaceutical Companies, ClearLobby will:
·
|
Provide
a new vehicle for delivering promotional and educational messages to
targeted physicians who chose to limit sales rep
visits.
|
·
|
Facilitate
more meaningful and productive sales rep-physician
meetings.
|
·
|
Allow
corporate marketing to gain greater control over marketing and
sales
|
messaging
(vs. field reps).
·
|
Deliver
considerable efficiencies by aggregating targeted physicians and reducing
costly, ineffective unsolicited sales
calls.
|
·
|
Provide
data on every interaction on the portal, to enable continuous feedback
on
|
acceptance
and impact of content and messaging.
SCHEDULE
B.
SOFTWARE
The
current ClearLobby application is the second version of the software and is in
prototype stage. An engineer should be able to look at the
application (or perhaps just schema.rb) and understand the business domain
rapidly, for the code base is slim, with nothing unusual
occurring. Developed as a Rails application, gaining an understanding
the code and domain should not require an expertise in that framework and
language.
The
Domain
There are
3 types of Users: Physicians/MDs (UserMd), Pharma Admins
(UserPharma), and Pharma Reps (UserRep). MDs belong to a
Practice. Pharma Admins and Reps belong to Companies. Products
belong to Companies. Products have and belong to many
Specialties. Products have many
ContentPieces. ContentPieces are viewed (ContentView) and commented
on (ContentComment) by MDs.
Process
Flow
Hitting
the base url triggers the AuthController, a simple application wrapper to
provide generic password protection (note: this is not a true security
controller). When the correct password is entered, the user comes to
a default home page offering one-click login for each user
type. There is also the option to run through basic MD
registration. Each of the options has its own controller:
MDController, PharmaController, RepController, and
RegController. Because the decision was made to use 3 different User
types in the domain, it allowed for very easy, modular controller
architecture. No Roles or Role decisions are made anywhere and
layouts do not have to be determined dynamically. Once a user "logs
in,” a single controller associated with that user type is used. In
the current application, all behavior is located in a single place.
Persistence
In the
current application, much of the AJAX does not trigger
persistence. For example, when an MD rates content, the div is
changed to display a rating image based on their rating
selection. Sample and Meeting requests do not persist
either. Likewise, the current Pharma reporting module utilizes static
partials loaded dynamically. Finally, the Discuss tab in the MD view
has not yet been constructed (clicking on that route will deliver an
error). As a prototype, infrastructural elements such as system wide
exception handling, logging, authentication/authorization, file upload and
storage, have been established only to simulate behavior and change the user’s
page, but not to write to a database.
Future
Production
The
current application is a very small and clean web application. It
maps a useful user experience across multiple constituents and reflects the
broad business concept of ClearLobby. In addition, while the
production solution will inherently be more robust, all of the technologies
needed are already in use. The bulk of the application involves
handling video and document rendering, and solutions exist today, such as ffmpeg
(or similar) for video conversion and FlashPaper for document
conversion. Numerous Rails plugins, gems, or alternate technologies
altogether, are available to handle smaller bits of functionality (auth,
ratings, tags, modal boxes that hide flash content, background processing,
email, application monitoring, unblocking uploads, etc).

ClearLobby, Inc., a Delaware Corporation with a principle place of
business at 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000 (“PROMISEE”)
the principal amount of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
($250,000.00) interest free.
|
2.
|
Source of
Obligation. This Note arises from PROMISOR’S
acknowledgement that PROMISOR owes
$250,000.00 to PROMISEE pursuant to the
terms of the Limited Asset Purchase Agreement executed by PROMISEE and PROMISOR on September
11, 2008.
|
3.
|
Payment
Terms. This Promissory Note is due and payable as
follows, to-wit: PROMISOR shall make a
payment of ten thousand ($10,000.00) dollars at the time of signing this
Promissory Note and the Limited Asset Purchase Agreement as well as the
delivery of the technology referenced in said Limited Asset Purchase
Agreement and twelve (12) equal monthly payments of twenty thousand
($20,000.00) until such time as this note has been fully satisfied.
The first such monthly payment shall be due and payable on the 1st
day of January 31, 2009, and a like installment shall be due and payable
on the same day of each succeeding month thereafter until the total
principal of $250,000.00 is paid in
full.
|
The
payment terms delineated above are subject to change contingent on PROMISOR receiving investment,
funds, or capital, regardless of source as follows:
If PROMISOR receives investment,
funds, or capital in an amount of ten million ($10,000,000.00) dollars or more,
PROMISOR shall pay any
and all unsatisfied principal pursuant to this promissory note, in full, to
PROMISEE within thirty
(30) days of PROMISOR
receiving/beginning to receive the investment, funds, or capital.
If PROMISOR receives investment,
funds, or capital of five million dollars ($5,000,000.00) or more, but in an
amount less than ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00), PROMISOR shall make a
proportional payment based on the initial 5 Million Dollars received and
proportional payments for each $1,000,000.00 thereafter of investment, funds, or
capital received on a pro rata basis towards the satisfaction of any and all
unsatisfied principal.
For
example: If Vemics receives 5,000,000.00 in investment, funds, or capital,
Vemics shall make a payment of $120,000.00, equal to 50% of the $240,000.00
principle.
