The parties have agreed that the oversight and management structures established by the parties should facilitate quick decision-making and issue resolution, that work in the alliance management structure should be organized and carried out around business needs, not functional grouping and that work should be done at the most efficient geographic and organizational level possible. The parties have also agreed that the alliance management structure should facilitate maximum allowable collaboration between the parties to achieve these |
- 15 -
goals, yet cause as little disruption as possible to the organizational structures of the parties and their Affiliates. |
2. | Committees. The parties have agreed to establish certain committees within the alliance management structure to assist in achieving the parties’ goals for the alliance. The parties shall establish and maintain an Oversight Committee, the functions, composition, meeting requirements, decision-making authority and record keeping requirements for which are set forth in Schedule III(A)(2)(a).

c. | To interface as appropriate with the P&G development team responsible for obtaining Health Registrations in North America and the European Union for the Product; and |
d. | To provide single-point leadership for generating consensus both internally within their respective party’s organizations and externally across party lines regarding key global strategy and plan issues; and |
e. | To ensure the ability for rapid decision making regarding the execution of strategies and plans approved by the Alliance Management Committee to avoid the need for excessive Alliance Management Committee meetings and input; and |
- 16 -
f. | To identify and raise cross company, cross region and/or cross function disputes to the Alliance Management Committee and (if needed) the Oversight Committee Leaders; and |
g. | To plan and coordinate both: (i) efforts aimed at establishing and maintaining the functionality of the alliance; and (ii) internal and external communications relating to the alliance, including conducting an annual audit of alliance functionality. |
B. | Conduct of Work. The Alliance Management Committee shall review and assign all work that needs to be completed to ensure a successful commercialization of the Product consistent with the parties’ purposes. The parties expect that much of the strategy and planning work on Products can be completed on a global or regional level and that the country organizations will be primarily responsible for tailoring and deploying global and regional plans. The Alliance Management Committee and the Alliance General Managers shall be responsible for structuring global work within the parties’ organizations as well as reviewing and approving work done at a global level. The region Presidents/Vice Presidents shall be responsible for reviewing, approving, structuring and delegating work assigned to their respective region, and country general managers shall be responsible for reviewing, approving, structuring and delegating work assigned to their respective countries. The Alliance General Managers shall also review work done at the regional level to ensure global consistency and simplification as is appropriate.

The Alliance General Managers shall also facilitate communications between and among the regions and will serve as a resource for the regions. |
1. | Budgets and Forecasts. Formal budgets and forecasts will be developed annually at each geographic level for work to be performed in the following Contract Year, and these annual budgets and forecasts will be agreed in writing no later than October 31 of the then current Contract Year; provided, however, that the annual budget and forecast for Contract Year 2005 will be agreed in writing no later than November 15, 2004. In the event that such budgets and forecasts have not been completed and approved by December 1 of the then current Contract Year, such budgets and forecasts will be referred to the Oversight Committee which will meet as necessary to resolve any differences and finalize such budgets and forecasts by December 31 of the then current Contract Year. Each such budget and forecast will also include projections for the six-month period following the end of the Contract Year in question and contain sufficient detail for three six-month periods to allow the parties’ Finance organizations to develop pro-forma budgets and forecasts to accommodate both companies’ planning processes. Each party’s internal planning process should include the most current input from the joint profit and expense outlooks. The Alliance General Managers and the Alliance Management Committee shall approve budgets and forecasts at the global level; region Presidents/Vice Presidents shall approve budgets and |

- 21 -
provided, however, that each party may, at its option, perform up to fifty percent (50%) of the work to be performed in connection with research and development programs for the Product using its internal FTEs. The Alliance General Managers or other managers who commission Joint Studies, Joint Product Improvements or other research and development programs are authorized to reimburse a party in the event a party has a higher number of FTEs than the other party in respect of research and development programs for the Product. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties will on a semi-annual basis be compensated and reimbursed for differences in FTE commitments agreed to in advance in the annual R&D Plan, taking into consideration any adjustments to such FTE commitments as a result of an amendment to an R&D Plan pursuant to Section III(G)(2). In furtherance of the foregoing, the party having the lower number of research and development FTEs shall pay to the other party an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the difference between the number of research and development FTEs provided by each party. Any such amounts shall be paid in USD no later than sixty (60) days following the expiration of the relevant semi-annual period. |

P&G shall be free to undertake any and all activities with respect to the Product within such country; provided, however, that to the extent P&G selects a non-Affiliate third party to commercialize the Product, API shall have the right to receive ***** of all consideration received by P&G in connection with the sale of the Product within such country, whether such consideration is in the form of royalties, direct sales, lump sum payments, profits from Product supply (transfer price less Cost of Goods) or otherwise. If API has obtained any Health Registrations, approvals, or rights of any kind with respect to the Product within such country, then API shall as soon as practicable, upon P&G’s request, transfer title to all such Health Registrations, approvals and rights to P&G or its designee, and if title to any such Health Registrations, approvals or rights is not transferable, then API shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to enable P&G to make use of all such Health Registrations, approvals and rights. Upon the transfer of title to such Health Registrations, P&G shall reimburse API for its reasonable costs and |
- 61 -
expenses associated with the procurement of such Health Registrations, approvals and rights so transferred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of the expiration of any time period specified in this Section X(C), API is exerting reasonable efforts to secure a sub-license with respect to any country within the White Space Territory, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a reasonable extension to the applicable time period. The parties agree that P&G’s remedy for API’s failure to secure a Sub-License is as set forth in this Section X(C), and such failure shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. |
D. | Recording of Sales. Unless the parties otherwise agree, API shall solicit and accept orders for, and ship and invoice sales of, the Product from and to sub-licensees in all countries in the White Space Territory. |
E. | Terms and Conditions of Sub-License Agreements. API shall negotiate the terms and conditions of all Sub-Licenses. Prior to the execution thereof, API shall present any proposed Sub-License to P&G for P&G’s review and approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. |
F. | Consideration. |
1. | Allocation. All consideration, whether in the form of royalties, lump sum payments, profits from Product supply (transfer price less Cost of Goods) or otherwise, paid by any third party to API pursuant to any Sub-License or to P&G shall be split *****. |
2. | Method of Payment. Within forty five (45) days after the last day of each Quarter, API shall submit to P&G a report setting forth in reasonable detail the consideration to be paid on a country by country basis for all countries within the White Space Territory for such Quarter. Based on these reports and the allocations and calculations set forth in this Section X(F), the parties shall calculate the amount owed by API to P&G or by P&G to API pursuant to this Section X(F). Any amounts owed pursuant to this Section X(F) shall be paid in the USA in USD no later than sixty (60) days after the expiration of the relevant Quarter. The operation of the calculations in this Section X(F) is demonstrated by the examples set forth in Schedule X(F). |
G. | Expenses. As between API and P&G, API shall bear all costs and expenses with respect to the marketing, promotion, detailing, distribution, sale or sub-licensing of Product within the White Space Territory, including, without limitation all costs and expenses of obtaining and maintaining Health Registrations for the Product (including user fees) and Commercial Expenses. |
H. | Health Registrations. It is anticipated that in the White Space Territory, the sub-licensee shall be the holder of all Health Registrations related to the Product. To facilitate the sub-licensee’s efforts to obtain such Health Registrations, API shall have the |
- 62 -
right to provide to such sub-licensee a copy of the Drug Dossier, or the appropriate components thereof. |
I. | Trademarks. In the White Space Territory, the Product shall be sold under a trademark to be selected by P&G in consultation with API. To the extent permitted by law, P&G shall own all trademarks for the Product within the White Space Territory. If P&G is not permitted by law to own any trademark for the Product in any country within the White Space Territory, then API shall own such trademark, and if API is not permitted by law to own such trademark, then the sub-licensee shall own such xxxx; provided, however, that the sub-licensee shall be required to transfer title to such trademark to P&G immediately upon the termination or expiration of the relevant Sub-License. Trademark Expenses shall be split *****. The owner of a trademark shall be responsible for applying for, maintaining, enforcing and defending all trademarks related to the Product. The parties and/or any sub-licensee shall enter into appropriate trademark licenses if necessary or prudent to enable the parties and/or any sub-licensee to perform their respective obligations pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement Documents and/or any Sub-License with respect to the White Space Territory. |
J. | Conversion to Potential Co-Promotion Territory. Based upon a determination by the Alliance Management Committee, a country within the White Space Territory may be added to the Potential Co-Promotion Territory. Such determination shall include establishing reasonable time periods for submitting Health Registrations and for launching the Product. |
K. | Product Supply and Cost. |
1. | Supply. P&G shall supply Product to API or to API’s sub-licensee pursuant to the Supply Agreement. |
2. | Obligation to Supply. Upon notice to API or API’s sub-licensee to P&G that API or API’s sub-licensee has obtained all approvals necessary and appropriate to launch the Product, including but not limited to reimbursement pricing, in a particular country within the White Space Territory, as set forth in Section X(H), P&G may elect not to supply Product to API or API’s sub-licensee based on P&G’s determination in good faith that: (i) government reimbursement prices for Product in such country make the launch of Product in such country not commercially viable; (ii) labeling approved in such country by the Ministry of Health would have a material negative effect on commercial viability of the Product; or (iii) studies required in such country by the Ministry of Health would have a material negative effect on commercial viability of the Product. P&G shall notify API or API’s sub-licensee that it has elected not to supply Product as soon as practicable, but not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from API or API’s sub-licensee that it has obtained a Health Registration. |

Infringement. The party owning said trademark (herein the “Responsible Party”) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to institute such action as it deems appropriate to terminate said Infringement through negotiation, litigation and/or alternative dispute resolution means, at its sole discretion and at its sole cost. The Responsible Party shall have the right to control and to select counsel in any action initiated by the Responsible Party.

ARTICLE XIII
CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION
A. | Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. |
Each party shall maintain in confidence all information (herein “Confidential Information”), whether oral or written (including, without limitation, in electronic form), which:
1. | is Know-how developed by that party or disclosed to it by the other party; or |
2. | relates to the terms of the Collaboration Agreement Documents or the Collaboration Agreement Documents; or |
3. | is other information (“Other Information”) disclosed by the other party which is considered confidential by the other party, and so designated as confidential in writing when first disclosed or within thirty (30) days after disclosure if the first disclosure is oral, or is the type of information which is generally considered by both parties to be confidential. |
Except as set forth in Section XIII(C), Section XIII(E), or as may be necessary for the filing or prosecution of Patent Applications pursuant to Article XII, each party shall take all reasonable precautions to:
1. | prevent disclosure of such Confidential Information to third parties; |
2. | use Know-how only for the purposes of exercising the rights and performing the obligations of the party pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement Documents; and |
3. | use Other Information only for the purposes permitted in the Collaboration Agreement Documents or the Collaboration Agreement Documents. |
B. | Exceptions. The foregoing confidentiality obligation shall not apply to a party with respect to information which: |
1. | is Other Information already in the possession of the party at the time of disclosure by the other party; |
2. | is or later becomes available to the public other than by default by the party; |
- 70 -
3. | is received from a third party having no obligation of confidentiality to the other party; |
4. | is Other Information developed by the party entirely without reference or use of Other Information disclosed by the other party, as established by probative documentary evidence; or |
5. | is required to be disclosed by law or government regulation. |
Furthermore, in the event that either party (a) becomes legally compelled (by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) or (b) in the opinion of counsel, is required pursuant to law or a listing agreement with a securities exchange to disclose any Confidential Information, it shall provide the other party with prompt written notice of such requirement so that the other party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of Section XIII(A). In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that the other party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the disclosing party shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which is, according to written opinion of counsel, legally required and shall exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that the party to whom the Confidential Information is disclosed shall treat it as confidential.
C. | Publication. It is understood the parties may wish to publish or otherwise disclose Know-how to a third party for publication in a reputable scientific forum (for example, as an abstract, poster presentation, lecture, article, book, or any other means of dissemination to the public). Such disclosures may be made to a third party regarding (1) preclinical research; (2) clinical research disclosing only data that have been locked, if disclosure presents no significant risk to regulatory filings and serves a compelling business reason for publication; and (3) other work by the parties, upon approval by the R&D Committee. No such disclosure shall be made to a third party until a patent application has been filed adequately describing and claiming any patentable invention embodied in such disclosure, pursuant to Article XII. A party wishing to make any such disclosure shall submit a complete written draft of the disclosure to the other party at least ninety (90) days prior to submission for publication of such draft, or an abstract of a proposed oral disclosure at least ninety (90) days prior to submission of such abstract or the oral disclosure, whichever is earlier. In the event that patent filings are necessary, public disclosure shall be delayed until said patent filings have been made. The other party shall have the right (i) to propose modifications to the publication for patent reasons, (ii) to request a delay in publication or presentation in order to protect patentable information or (iii) to request that the information be maintained as a trade secret and, in such case the other party shall not make such publication. Any disputes regarding proposed modifications, delays or maintaining trade secrets shall be resolved first by reference to the Research & Development Committee. |
D. | Duration. The obligations of the parties under this Article XIII shall survive until the fifth anniversary of the end of the Term. At the end of the Term, each of P&G and API |
- 71 -
shall return to the other or destroy all tangible forms of Confidential Information furnished by the other, including all copies thereof and all memoranda of oral disclosure, and if destroyed, such destruction shall be certified in writing to the other party by an officer of such party supervising such destruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may retain one copy of the other party’s Confidential Information to be kept in a confidential file in the office of its legal department solely for archival legal purposes. |
E. | External Communications. Any press releases or similar publicity with respect to the Collaboration Agreement Documents or the transactions contemplated therein shall be approved by both parties in advance, provided that such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and that nothing in this Section XIII(E) shall prevent either party upon reasonable notice to the other party from making public announcements to comply with the requirements of law or any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or to inform their respective employees of the transactions contemplated therein. |
F. | Merger of Prior Confidentiality Agreement. Upon execution of the Original Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement dated July 10, 1996, between Procter & Xxxxxx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Xxxxxxx UCLAF terminated. All Information (as defined in such Confidentiality Agreement) exchanged between the parties and/or their Affiliates under that Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information and subject to the terms of this Article XIII. |

ARTICLE XV
INDEMNIFICATION
A. | Indemnification Obligations. Subject to the other terms and conditions of the Collaboration Agreement Documents, and except as otherwise provided in this Article XV, each party agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the other party and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers and employees harmless from and against claims, losses, liabilities, damages, awards, costs and expenses (collectively referred to as “Losses”), including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, to the extent stated below: |
1. | Except as set forth in Section XV(A)(2), with respect to Losses arising out of or related to any third-party Product Liability Action brought against any party or its Affiliates or their respective directors, officers or employees (for purposes of this Section XV(A)(1), each, and collectively, the “Indemnitee”) within the Territory, except the Co-Marketing Territory or Converted Co-Marketing Territory, the other party shall defend, indemnify and hold such Indemnitee harmless from and against fifty percent (50%) of such Losses, except where such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct was the sole cause of such Losses, in which case, such Indemnitee shall bear full responsibility for such Losses. Determination of gross negligence or intentional misconduct shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision or in a binding settlement between the parties. |
2. | With respect to Losses arising out of or related to any third-party Action arising out of or related to any party’s (for purpose of this Section XV(A)(2), the “Indemnitor”) breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or other obligation of this Agreement, brought against the other party or its Affiliates or their respective directors, officers or employees (for purposes of this Section XV(A)(2) each and collectively, the “Indemnitee”) within the Territory, other than any Product Liability Action, the Indemnitor shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnitee from and against one hundred percent (100%) of such Losses caused by the Indemnitor’s breach. |
- 75 -
B. | Procedures for Indemnification. |
1. | Promptly after receipt by any party or its directors, officers or employees (for purposes of this Section XV(B), each, and collectively, an “Indemnitee”) of notice of any Action which may give rise to Losses for which indemnity be sought against the other party (for purposes of this Section XV(B), the “Indemnitor”) under this Article XV (for purposes of this Section XV(B), such Action is referred to as an “Assertion”), the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnitor in writing of the Assertion, but the failure to so notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability it may have to the Indemnitee, except to the extent the Indemnitor has suffered actual prejudice thereby. The Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent the Indemnitor elects by written notice to the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnitor of notice of such Assertion, to assume the defense of such Assertion, at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided, however, that with respect to any Assertion for which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section XV(A)(1), the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume the defense of such Assertion. Rather, the Indemnitor and Indemnitee shall consult with one another and shall agree as to which party shall manage the defense of such Assertion. The party chosen to defend such Assertion shall take all commercially reasonable steps to consult with the other party with respect to the resolution of such Assertion. With respect to any Assertion, the Indemnitee agrees to provide promptly the Indemnitor with (1) notice and copies of any documents served upon the Indemnitee and (2) all reasonable cooperation which the Indemnitor deems necessary to defend any Assertion, including, without limitation, providing the Indemnitor and its outside attorneys access to any potentially relevant documents, information, or individuals within the control of the Indemnitee, other than any privileged documents. If information of the Indemnitee which is not already covered by a secrecy obligation is contained in such documents or information, the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall enter into appropriate secrecy commitments to protect such documents or information. Notwithstanding that the Indemnitor shall have elected by written notice to assume the defense of any Assertion, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the investigation and defense thereof, with separate counsel chosen by the Indemnitee, but in such event, the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnitee. |
2. | Notwithstanding anything in this Article XV to the contrary: |
a. | Indemnitor shall have no obligation with respect to an Assertion if, in connection therewith, Indemnitee, without the written consent of Indemnitor, shall settle or compromise any Assertion or other Action or consent to the entry of any judgment, and |
- 76 -
b. | Indemnitee shall not, without the written consent of Indemnitor, (i) settle or compromise any Assertion or other Action or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to Indemnitor of a duly executed written release of Indemnitor from all liability in respect of such Assertion or other Action, which release shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to counsel for Indemnitor, or (ii) settle or compromise any Assertion or other Action in any manner that, in the sole judgment of Indemnitor or its counsel, may materially and adversely affect Indemnitor other than as a result of money damages or other money payments. |
c. | Upon the payment of any settlement or judgment pursuant to this Article XV, Indemnitor shall be subrogated to all rights and remedies of Indemnitee against any third party in respect of such Assertion to the extent of the amount so paid by Indemnitor. |
3. | The indemnity provided for by this Article XV shall be P&G’s or API’s exclusive source of recovery against the other party with respect to matters covered hereby. |
ARTICLE XVI
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
A. | Dispute Resolution Process. |
1. | The parties recognize that disputes as to certain matters may from time to time arise during the Term of this Agreement and the other Collaboration Agreement Documents, including any extension thereof. These may involve, without limitation, disputes concerning any party’s performance of its obligations pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement Documents or any decision or action permitted or required to be made or taken which decision or action is not expressly reserved to one party or the other. It is the objective of the parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of disputes arising under the Collaboration Agreement Documents in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to litigation. To accomplish this objective, the parties agree to follow the procedures set forth in this Article XVI if and when any dispute arises under the Collaboration Agreement Documents, including, without limitation, any disagreement regarding whether this Article XVI is applicable to any such dispute. |
2. | Unless otherwise specifically set forth in the Collaboration Agreement Documents, any dispute arising out of or related to the Collaboration Agreement Documents shall be resolved by reference to the Alliance General Managers unless such dispute arises within, and/or cannot be resolved by, the Oversight Committee, in which case such dispute shall be promptly submitted to binding arbitration under Section XVI(B), at which time the arbitration period shall be |
- 77 -
considered to have commenced for such dispute. The following procedures shall apply prior to submission to arbitration: |
a. | If a dispute referred to the Alliance General Managers cannot be resolved within five (5) Business Days after the referral of such dispute to the Alliance General Managers, then the dispute shall be referred to the Oversight Committee Leaders. |
b. | The Alliance General Managers shall submit to the Oversight Committee Leaders a joint written request for resolution within five (5) Business Days of the failure of the Alliance General Managers to reach a resolution of the dispute, outlining the issue(s), the position of each of the parties with respect to the issue(s) and the basis for each party’s position on the issue(s). If a dispute referred to the Oversight Committee Leaders cannot be resolved within ten (10) Business Days of such request, the dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration under Section XVI(B), and the arbitration period shall be considered to have commenced for that dispute. |
B. | Arbitration. |
1. | Arbitration of Disputes. The arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and the Supplementary Procedures for Large, Complex Disputes then in effect (the “Rules”), except to the extent such rules conflict with this Section XVI(B). In any arbitration, Ohio law shall govern, except to the extent that such law conflicts with the Rules or this Section XVI(B). The parties further agree that each such dispute be submitted to a panel of three (3) impartial arbitrators with each party selecting one (1) arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the commencement of the arbitration period and the two (2) selected arbitrators selecting a third arbitrator who is experienced in the pharmaceutical industry within thirty (30) days after the commencement of the arbitration period. Any arbitration hereunder shall commence within thirty (30) days after appointment of the third arbitrator and shall be held in New York, New York, USA. No discovery by either party shall be permitted unless the arbitrators determine that the party requesting such discovery has a substantial, demonstrable need. The arbitrators shall make final determinations as to any discovery disputes and all other procedural matters. If any party fails to comply with the procedures in any arbitration in a manner deemed material by the arbitrators, then the arbitrators shall fix a reasonable time for compliance, and if the party does not comply within such period, then a remedy deemed just by the arbitrators, including an award of default, may be imposed. The decision of the arbitrators shall be rendered no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after commencement of the arbitration period. The decision of the arbitrators with respect to any decision or action permitted or required to be made or taken with respect to the Product, which decision or action is not expressly reserved to one party or the other, shall be limited to a finding fully in favor of one party’s position, and no compromise or split decisions shall |
- 78 -
be allowed. The costs of arbitration shall be born by the party against whom the arbitral decision is made. Any judgment or decision rendered by the panel shall be binding upon the parties and shall be enforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction. |
2. | Determination of Damages/Arbitration of Material Breach. A party seeking recovery of damages and/or termination of this Agreement under Section XVII(B) must submit the matter to binding arbitration if such party’s allegation of material breach is disputed by the other party and if the matter cannot be resolved under the dispute resolution provisions of this Article XVI. In such arbitrations involving contested allegations of material breach, the arbitrators will decide if a breach occurred, and if so, if that breach is material. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section, if there is a finding of breach or of material breach, the arbitrators may make a damage award against the breaching party to compensate the non-breaching party for the breach. If there is a finding of material breach, then the provisions of Section XVII(B) of this Agreement shall apply. The provisions of Section XVI(B)(1) relating to arbitration of disputes shall apply to this Section XVI(B)(2) except that the arbitrators’ decision shall not be limited to a finding fully in favor of one party’s position, and the arbitrators shall be free to render any decision they deem just and appropriate. |

This Agreement shall be effective as of the Original Agreement Effective Date and, unless sooner terminated as provided herein or extended by mutual agreement of the parties pursuant to Sections XVII(A)(2) or (3), shall remain in force until January 1, 2015. Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in any other Collaboration Agreement Document, in the event that API does not elect to extend the Term pursuant to Section XVII(A)(2) or (3), P&G will be entitled, during the two-year period prior to the end of the Term, to solicit third parties to enter into agreements to collaborate with P&G with respect to the Risedronate business following the expiration or termination of this Agreement and to enter into any such agreements following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, subject to reasonable and customary protections for API’s confidential information under this Agreement; provided, however, that (a) during the period between the date that is three years before the end of the Term and the date that is two years before the end of the Term, P&G will enter into good faith negotiations with API to extend the Term on mutually agreeable terms and (b) in the absence of such mutual agreement, in the event that P&G determines that it will auction or market during the final two years of the Term the Risedronate business or any interest therein for the period following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, P&G will permit API to participate in such auction or marketing process on an equal basis with all other participants. |
- 79 -
2. | First Option to Extend Term. API may, at its option, extend the Term until December 31, 2019 as follows: |
a. | by providing P&G with thirty (30) days prior notice at any time prior to June 30, 2005 of its intention to extend the Term, which extension will be effective upon the payment by API to P&G of ***** on or before July 31, 2005; |
b. | by providing P&G with thirty (30) days prior notice at any time following the calculation of Net Outside Sales for the Product in the United States in Contract Year 2007 and prior to July 1, 2008 of its intention to extend the Term, which extension will be effective upon the payment by API to P&G no later than thirty (30) days following the date of such notice of an amount equal to ***** plus an amount in USD equal to ***** of Net Outside Sales for the Product in the United States in Contract Year 2007; or |

3. | Second Option to Extend Term. Subject to the following sentence, in the event that API makes the First Option Extension Payment to P&G and extends the Term pursuant to Section XVII(A)(2) (the “First Extension Option”), API may, at any time between the 12th month and 30th month anniversary of the date of the First Extension Option (the “Second Option Period”), elect to further extend the Term with respect to all, but not less than all, of the countries in the Territory until the Patent Expiration Date for each such country by providing 30 days prior notice of its intention to further extend the Term, which extension will be effective upon the payment by API to P&G during the Second Option Period of an amount equal to the Patent Extension Payment with respect to such country. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in no event will the Second Option Period extend beyond December 31, 2010. Any extension by API pursuant to this Section shall be in effect with respect to a particular country until the Patent Expiration Date in such country and the Term shall expire for such country after the Patent Expiration Date for such country. For purposes hereof, “Patent Extension Payment” with respect to a country shall mean, subject to Section XII(F), an amount equal to ***** as is determined in good faith by the agreement of the parties following the delivery of the notice described in this Section XVII(A)(3) (which amount shall be an amount that, on the basis of |
- 80 -
market and other conditions prevailing at such time could reasonably be expected to be paid for ***** by a third party in an arm’s-length transaction); provided, however, that in the event that the parties cannot in good faith agree upon the amount of the Patent Extension Payment within thirty (30) calendar days of the delivery of such notice, the amount of the Patent Extension Payment shall be the amount equal to the sum of each party’s proposed Patent Extension Payment divided by two (2), except that if there is more than a ***** difference between such amounts, the amount shall be conclusively determined by a mutually agreed internationally recognized investment banking firm. If the parties cannot so agree on one investment banking firm, each party will designate its own investment banking firm and such investment banking firms will jointly appoint a third investment banking firm. The cost of such third investment banking firm shall be borne one-half by each party. The investment banking firm appointed pursuant to this Section XVII(A)(3) will choose one of the parties’ positions with respect to the amount of the Patent Extension Payment within thirty (30) days of its appointment. |
B. | Termination for Material Breach. |
1. | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Collaboration Agreement Document, and in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available, if a party commits a material breach of this Agreement or any other Collaboration Agreement Document which: (i) in the case of a breach capable of a remedy, shall not have been remedied within sixty (60) days after the receipt by such other party of a notice identifying the breach and requiring its remedy, and (ii) continues to exist at the time of notice of termination, subject to a determination by the arbitrators pursuant to Section XVI(B)(2) of this Agreement, then the following provisions shall apply: |

After the decision of the arbitrators and the payment of damages, the provisions of this Agreement and the Collaboration Agreement Documents shall continue in full force and effect. |
c. | If the arbitrators find a material breach of this Agreement or the other Collaboration Agreement Documents and the amount of damages is greater than *****, but less than or equal to *****, then the breaching |

After the decision of the arbitrators and the payment of damages, the provisions of this Agreement and the Collaboration Agreement Documents shall continue in full force and effect. |
d. | If the arbitrators find a material breach of this Agreement or the Collaboration Agreement Documents and the amount of the damages awarded by the arbitrators exceeds *****, then the breaching party may offer to pay to the non-breaching party, in consideration for the non-breaching party’s election not to terminate the Agreement, an amount equal to ***** plus ***** times the difference between the amount of damages awarded by the arbitrators and *****. If the non-breaching party accepts such offer, the provisions of this Agreement and the Collaboration Agreement Documents shall continue in full force and effect. If the breaching party does not make such offer, or if the non-breaching party rejects such offer, this Agreement shall terminate and the breaching party shall pay to the non-breaching party the amount of damages awarded by the arbitrators. All payments under this Section XVII(B)(1)(d) shall be made pursuant to Section XVII(B)(1)(e). |
e. | Any payment required under the terms of Section XVII(B)(1)(c) or Section XVII(B)(1)(d) shall be made in USD or other immediately available funds to the bank account designated by written notice hereunder by the party to be paid hereunder within thirty (30) days after the decision of the arbitrators. |

J. | Change in Control Put/Call Rights. |
1. | If at any time during the Term, there shall occur a Change in Control of the P&G or API Affiliate responsible for the worldwide pharmaceutical business, as the case may be, in the case of (A) a third party acquiror that is not a Listed Entity, the party experiencing the Change in Control or its designee shall have the unilateral right to continue the Agreement or assign the Agreement to the third party that has acquired such control, and (B) a third party acquiror that is a Listed Entity, the party experiencing the Change in Control or its designee shall not have the unilateral right to continue the Agreement or assign the Agreement to the third party that has acquired such control unless otherwise permitted by this Section XVII(J). For purposes of this Section XVII(J), a “Listed Entity” shall mean any of the three entities whose names appear on Exhibit A hereto. Within the 45-day period prior to December 31, 2006, and every twenty-four months thereafter within the 45-day period prior to the end of such 24-month period, the parties will agree on which three entity names will be the Listed Entities for the next 24 month period, and will amend Exhibit A accordingly. If the parties are unable to agree to the Listed Entities by the expiration of the then-current twenty-four month period, the Listed Entities for the next twenty-four month period will be (1) the one company with the largest dollar share of the aggregate global market segment for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis as determined by IMS audits, and (2) the two other companies projected by Xxxxxxxx First Call consensus analyst estimates (or, if Xxxxxxxx First Call does not publish such estimates, such estimates published by a similar industry publication or, if there are no such similar industry publications, the consensus of the pharmaceutical analysts from the top five investment banks having pharmaceutical analysts as ranked in Xxxxxxxx First Call’s most recent league tables published prior to the date of determination or, if Xxxxxxxx First Call does not publish league tables, in other industry league tables) to have, within the eighty-four months immediately following the relevant determination date, the two highest dollar shares within the global prescription postmenopausal osteoporosis treatment segment, such dollar shares to be determined by dividing the aggregate projected dollar sales of the relevant product during the relevant period by the aggregate projected dollar sales of the global prescription postmenopausal osteoporosis treatment segment for the relevant period, all such projections to be determined by the Xxxxxxxx First Call consensus of analysts for the relevant period. If two or more companies are tied in either of the dollar shares rankings under clauses (1) and (2) above, |
- 86 -
then API may select which of the companies so tied will be the Listed Entities determined by the relevant clause. |
2. | In the case of a Change in Control not involving a Listed Entity, the party who did not experience the Change in Control or its designee (the “Requesting Party”) may by written notice (the “Change in Control Request”) delivered to the other party (the “Non-Requesting Party”), within forty five (45) days after the date of such Change in Control, elect to discontinue the collaboration, in which case a valuation of the Put Interest as hereinafter defined shall be determined under the provisions of Section XVII(J)(4). Within fifteen (15) days following such valuation, the Requesting Party will sell to the other party the Requesting Party’s entire interest under the Collaboration Agreement Documents, including a license to, or other transfer of, all rights necessary to enjoy the benefits thereof (the “Put Interest”) at a price (the “Put Price”) equal to the fair market value thereof as determined in accordance with Section XVII(J)(4). |
3. | In the case of a Change in Control involving a Listed Entity, the Non-Requesting Party will, within forty-five (45) days of such Change in Control (the “Divestiture Notice Deadline”), provide notice (the “Divestiture Notice”) to the Requesting Party indicating whether the third party Listed Entity that has acquired control of such Non-Requesting Party has agreed, in connection with the Change in Control, to divest, as promptly as practicable following such Change in Control, but in any event within fourteen (14) months thereafter, its interest (other than a passive economic interest that is not material in relation to the third party’s interest in the Product after the Change in Control) in products for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis (other than the Product) (a “Divestiture”). In the event that such third party Listed Entity does not agree to a Divestiture, the Requesting Party may, within seventy five (75) days of the Change in Control (but not before the earlier to occur of the delivery of the Divestiture Notice and the Divestiture Notice Deadline), by a Change in Control Request delivered to the Non-Requesting Party elect to cause a valuation of the Put Interest and Call Interest as hereinafter defined (if applicable pursuant to this Section XVII(J)(3)) shall be determined under the provisions of Section XVII(J)(4). Within fifteen (15) days following such valuation, the Requesting Party may make (but is not required to make) a further election (i) to sell to the other party its Put Interest at the Put Price or (ii) to buy the Non-Requesting Party’s entire interest under the Collaboration Agreement Documents, including a license to, or other transfer of, all rights necessary to enjoy the benefits thereof (the “Call Interest”) at a price (the “Call Price”) equal to the fair market value thereof as determined in accordance with Section XVII(J)(4). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Divestiture Notice states that the third party Listed Entity has agreed to a Divestiture, the Requesting Party will not have an option to buy the Call Interest pursuant to this Section XVII(J)(3), and the Non-Requesting Party shall have the unilateral right to continue the Agreement or assign the Agreement to the third party, subject to the Requesting Party’s right to sell its Put Interest as provided in XVII(J)(2), and further, if the Listed Entity fails to close the Divestiture within |
- 87 -
the ***** months following the Change of Control, the Requesting Party is (i) entitled to liquidated damages equal to ***** of the Listed Entity’s profits during such ***** months from the products for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis (other than the Product) and (ii) the Requesting Party may also elect to purchase the Call Interest a the Call Price, to sell the Put Interest at the Put Price or to continue the Agreement. In the event the Requesting Party does not send any notice following the Listed Party failure to close the Divestiture, the Requesting Party shall be deemed to have decided to continue the Agreement. |
4. | The price to be paid for the Put Interest or Call Interest (i.e. the Put Price or Call Price) shall be conclusively determined by two internationally recognized investment banking firms, one of which shall be retained and paid by the Requesting Party and one of which shall be retained and paid by the Non-Requesting Party; provided that if either such party fails to deliver notice to the other party of its selection of an investment banking firm within ten (10) days after notice by the other party that it has selected an investment banking firm (which notice shall identify such firm), the determination shall be rendered by the single investment banking firm so selected (whose fees, in such case, shall be borne equally by the parties). The Requesting Party and the Non-Requesting Party shall promptly notify each other of their respective selections. The investment banking firms selected in accordance with the foregoing procedure shall each determine the fair market value of the Put Interest and, if applicable, the Call Interest (which value(s) shall be an amount that, on the basis of market and other conditions prevailing at such time could reasonably be expected to be paid for such Put Interest or, if applicable, Call Interest, by a third party in an arm’s-length transaction, assuming that the buyer and seller are under no compulsion to buy or sell, but shall be determined without regard to any control premium or any minority or illiquidity discount) and submit their determinations of such value to the Requesting Party and the Non-Requesting Party within twenty (20) days following their selection. The Put Price or, if applicable, Call Interest shall be the amount equal to the sum of such fair market values for the Put Interest or, if applicable, Call Interest determined by each investment banking firm divided by two (2), except that if there is more than a ***** difference between such values, a third investment banking firm, selected by the first two investment banking firms within ten (10) days of the first round of valuations, shall determine such fair market value (which shall be one of the values determined by the first two investment banking firms). The cost of such third investment banking firm shall be borne one-half by the Requesting Party and one-half by the Non-Requesting Party, and such third investment banking firm will choose one of the first two investment banking firm’s positions within thirty (30) days of its appointment. |
5. | The purchase and sale of any Put Interest or Call Interest effected pursuant to this Section XVII(J)(5) shall be consummated at a closing at the offices of the Requesting Party on a business day within forty five (45) days following the |
- 88 -
determination of the Put Price or Call Price upon at least five (5) days’ notice by the Requesting Party to the other parties to the transaction; provided that such period shall be extended for ninety (90) additional days, or such shorter period of time, as shall be necessary in order to obtain requisite governmental or regulatory approvals with respect to such transaction; provided, further, that such closing may be held at such other time and place as the parties to the transaction may agree. At such closing, the buying party or its designee shall pay the selling party the Put Price or Call Price by certified check or wire transfer of funds. |
6. | Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Section XVII(J), the parties shall execute such customary instruments of transfer, licenses and other agreements as are necessary to transfer all of the selling party’s Put Interest or Call Interest to the buying party or its designee and to assure that the buying party or its designee shall be able to enjoy the benefits thereof through the provision of any transitional services reasonably requested by the buying party, including, but not limited to the continued supply of Product. |
ARTICLE XVIII
PRODUCT IMPROVEMENTS
A. | Proposed Product Improvements. During the Term, either party may propose to the other in the Alliance Management Committee or in the Research & Development Committee the development of a Product Improvement. If such proposal occurs prior to the date of the exercise of the Product Improvement Trigger, then such Product Improvement shall be subject to the provisions of Section XVIII(B). If such proposal occurs after the date of the exercise of the Product Improvement Trigger, then such Product Improvement shall be subject to the provisions of Section XVIII(C). |
B. | Product Improvements Initiated Prior to Product Improvement Trigger. |
1. | Joint Product Improvement. If the Alliance Management Committee makes a decision to support the development and commercialization of a proposed Product Improvement (thereafter, a “Joint Product Improvement”), then the Alliance Management Committee and the Research & Development Committee shall agree to a development plan and budget for the development of such Joint Product Improvement. Such plan shall include appropriate decision points at each significant phase of product development. Upon approval of a development plan and budget, the costs of developing and commercializing that Joint Product Improvement, including all non-clinical and clinical studies, shall be split *****. |
2. | Termination of Joint Development Program. Upon agreement of the Research & Development Committee and the Alliance Management Committee, the parties may terminate all or part of any agreed development plan with respect to a Joint Product Improvement. API may, at the previously agreed to decision points, terminate its participation in any agreed development plan with respect to a Joint |
- 89 -
Product Improvement; upon any such termination, P&G may itself terminate any such development plan or may, after discussion of the matter in the Oversight Committee, continue the development of such Product Improvement as a P&G Product Improvement. P&G may, at the previously agreed to decision points, terminate any agreed development plan with respect to a Joint Product Improvement. In the event that a party elects to terminate its participation in the development and commercialization of a Joint Product Improvement, all costs of development and commercialization up to the date of such termination shall be shared *****. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either party in good faith believes that a significant safety concern relating to a Joint Product Improvement exists and the other party does not consent to a termination of such Joint Product Improvement in connection therewith, then the parties will within five (5) Business Days agree upon and appoint an Industry Expert or, if the parties cannot so agree on one Industry Expert, each party will designate its own Industry Expert and such Industry Experts will jointly appoint a third Industry Expert. The Industry Expert appointed pursuant to the preceding sentence will resolve the dispute within five (5) Business Days of their appointment. |
3. | P&G Product Improvements. If the Alliance Management Committee or the Oversight Committee decide not to support the development and commercialization of a Product Improvement proposed by P&G, or if API terminates its participation in any agreed development plan with respect to a Joint Product Improvement, then P&G has the right to develop and commercialize such Product Improvement as a “P&G Product Improvement.” In such case, P&G shall bear the full cost of the development and commercialization of the P&G Product Improvement, including registration studies and marketing studies, and all revenues from the commercialization of that P&G Product Improvement shall accrue to P&G. |
C. | Product Improvements Initiated After Product Improvement Trigger. |
1. | Joint Product Improvement. If the Alliance Management Committee makes a decision to support the development and commercialization of a Joint Product Improvement, then the Alliance Management Committee and the Research & Development Committee shall agree to a development plan and budget for the development of such Joint Product Improvement. Such plan shall include appropriate decision points at each significant phase of product development. Upon approval of a development plan and budget, the costs of developing and commercializing that Joint Product Improvement, including all non-clinical and clinical studies, shall be split *****. |
2. | Termination of Joint Development Program. Upon agreement of the Research & Development Committee and the Alliance Management Committee, the parties may terminate all or part of any agreed development plan with respect to a Joint Product Improvement. Either party may, at the previously agreed to decision points, terminate its participation in any agreed development plan with respect to |
- 90 -
a Joint Product Improvement; upon any such termination, the other party may itself terminate such development plan or may, after discussion of the matter in the Oversight Committee, continue the development of such Product Improvement as a P&G Product Improvement (if such party is P&G) or as an “API Product Improvement” (if such party is API). In the event that a party elects to terminate its participation in the development and commercialization of a Joint Product Improvement, all costs of development and commercialization up to the date of such termination shall be shared *****. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either party in good faith believes that a significant safety concern relating to a Joint Product Improvement exists and the other party does not consent to a termination of such Joint Product Improvement in connection therewith, then the parties will within five (5) Business Days agree upon and appoint an Industry Expert or, if the parties cannot so agree on one Industry Expert, each party will designate its own Industry Expert and such Industry Experts will jointly appoint a third Industry Expert. The Industry Expert appointed pursuant to the preceding sentence will resolve the dispute within five (5) Business Days of their appointment. |
3. | P&G Product Improvements and API Product Improvements. If the Alliance Management Committee and the Oversight Committee decide not to support the development and commercialization of a Product Improvement proposed by a party, or if a party desires to continue the development of a Product Improvement after the other party terminates its participation in any agreed development plan with respect to such Joint Product Improvement, then such party has the right to develop and commercialize such Product Improvement as a P&G Product Improvement (if such party is P&G) or as an API Product Improvement (if such party is API). In such case, and subject to the provisions of Section XVIII(C)(4), the developing party for such Product Improvement shall bear the full cost of the development and commercialization of such Product Improvement, including registration studies and marketing studies, and all revenues from the commercialization of such Product Improvement shall accrue to such party. |
4. | Opt-in Rights for Independent Product Improvements. |
a. | Establishment of Success Criteria. Promptly following the designation of a Product Improvement as either a P&G Product Improvement or an API Product Improvement, the parties will use their reasonable best efforts to agree to success criteria for each significant phase of product development for such Product Improvement, including market approval and final labeling. If the parties are unable to agree to such success criteria, the dispute will be resolved through arbitration pursuant to Section XVI(B). Once agreed to by the parties or established through arbitration, such success criteria shall be designated as the “Product Improvement Success Criteria” for such Product Improvement. |
- 91 -
b. | Determination of Opt-In Consideration. Promptly following the determination of the Product Improvement Success Criteria, the parties will also use their reasonable best efforts to agree to the compensation that would be paid by the party that is not participating in the development of such Product Improvement in consideration for the right to rejoin in the development and consideration of such P&G Product Improvement or API Product Improvement (the “Pre-Agreed Opt-in Consideration”) upon achievement of each of the Product Improvement Success Criteria. Such Pre-Agreed Opt-in Consideration will be determined for each significant phase of product development for such Product Improvement. |
c. | Voluntary Opt-In Prior to Completion of Phase III. If the Product Improvement Success Criteria for a particular P&G Product Improvement or API Product Improvement are met at any phase of product development for such Product Improvement, except for such Product Improvement Success Criteria at or subsequent to the completion of Phase III clinical trials, then the party developing such Product Improvement may in its sole discretion offer the other party the right to rejoin in the development and commercialization of such Product Improvement, upon payment by the other party of the Pre-Agreed Opt-In Compensation for such Product Improvement or, if such compensation has not already been agreed to pursuant to Section XVIII(C)(4)(b), for other consideration agreed by the parties. If the other party rejoins the development and commercialization of such Product Improvement, such Product Improvement shall thereafter be designated a Joint Product Improvement. |
d. | Compulsory Opt-In After Completion of Phase III After Meeting Success Criteria. If the Product Improvement Success Criteria for a particular P&G Product Improvement or API Product Improvement are met upon completion of Phase III clinical trials for such Product Improvement, then the party not developing such Product Improvement shall rejoin in the development and commercialization of such Product Improvement. Thereafter, upon the receipt by the Product Improvement of market authorization and final labeling in any country in accordance with the Product Improvement Success Criteria, the party not developing such Product Improvement shall pay to the other party the Pre-Agreed Opt-In Compensation for such Product Improvement. If such compensation has not already been agreed to pursuant to Section XVIII(C)(4)(b), then the compensation to be paid shall be an amount equal to ***** of the amount of the development and pre-approval marketing costs paid by the party developing such Product Improvement, plus an amount (the “Commercial Value”) equal to ***** of the incremental commercial value of the Product Improvement to the non-developing party. If the parties cannot in good faith agree to the Commercial Value within thirty (30) calendar days, the Commercial Value shall be the amount equal to the sum of each party’s proposed Commercial Value |
- 92 -
divided by two (2), except that if there is more than a ***** difference between such amounts, the amount shall be conclusively determined by a mutually agreed internationally recognized investment banking firm. If the parties cannot so agree on one investment banking firm, each party will designate its own investment banking firm and such investment banking firms will jointly appoint a third investment banking firm. The cost of such third investment banking firm shall be borne one-half by each party. The investment banking firm appointed pursuant to this Section XVIII(C)(4)(d) will choose one of the parties’ positions with respect to the Commercial Value within thirty (30) days of its appointment. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section shall not be applicable if a party has already voluntarily opted-in pursuant to Section XVIII(C)(4)(c). After the non-developing party rejoins the development and commercialization of such Product Improvement, such Product Improvement shall thereafter be designated a Joint Product Improvement. |
e. | Compulsory Opt-In After Completion of Phase III Without Meeting Success Criteria. If the Product Improvement Success Criteria for a particular P&G Product Improvement or API Product Improvement are not met upon or after completion of Phase III clinical trials for such Product Improvement and such Product Improvement receives market authorization and final labeling in any country, then the party developing such Product Improvement may elect to continue development and commercialization of such Product Improvement and, if so, shall promptly notify the other party and such other party shall be obligated to rejoin in the development and commercialization of such Product Improvement, in consideration for the payment by the other party of an amount to be agreed upon by the parties in good faith or, if such compensation cannot be agreed in good faith in thirty (30) days, the amount of compensation shall be the amount equal to the sum of each party’s proposed compensation divided by two (2), except that if there is more than a ***** difference between such amounts, the amount shall be conclusively determined by a mutually agreed internationally recognized investment banking firm. If the parties cannot so agree on one investment banking firm, each party will designate its own investment banking firm and such investment banking firms will jointly appoint a third investment banking firm. The cost of such third investment banking firm shall be borne one-half by each party. The investment banking firm appointed pursuant to this Section XVIII(C)(4)(e) will choose one of the parties’ positions with respect to the compensation within thirty (30) days of its appointment. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section shall not be applicable if a party has already voluntarily opted-in pursuant to Section XVIII(C)(4)(c). After the non-developing party rejoins the development and commercialization of such Product Improvement, such Product Improvement shall thereafter be designated a Joint Product Improvement. |
- 93 -
D. | Osteoarthritis Product Improvement. Section XVIII(A) notwithstanding, the parties agree that the development of Risedronate for the treatment of osteoarthritis shall be subject to this Section XVIII(D). |
1. | P&G Obligations. P&G agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to implement a Phase II/III clinical trial program designed to obtain Health Registration approval of Risedronate for the treatment of osteoarthritis. P&G shall pay all costs and expenses associated with the execution of said Phase II/III clinical trial program. P&G shall also be responsible for its internal administration costs and expenses and all country-specific registration fees (including without limitation user fees) of obtaining Health Registration approval of Risedronate for the treatment of osteoarthritis within the Co-Promotion Territory. |
2. | OA Product Improvement Status. At all times prior to the payment by API to P&G of the OA Milestone Payment as hereinafter defined, the Product Improvement embodying the use of Risedronate for the treatment of osteoarthritis shall be deemed to be a P&G Product Improvement. Upon payment by API to P&G of the OA Milestone Payment as hereinafter defined, the Product Improvement embodying the use of Risedronate for the treatment of osteoarthritis shall cease to be a P&G Product Improvement and shall be deemed a Joint Product Improvement. |
3. | Milestone Payment. The approval of a Health Registration covering Risedronate for the treatment of osteoarthritis in either the US or in the Reference Member State for the Mutual Recognition Procedure in the European Union shall, for the purposes of this Section XVIII(D), be defined as the “OA Milestone Trigger.” Within seven (7) Business Days following the occurrence of the OA Milestone Trigger, API agrees to pay P&G either (i) ***** provided a once a week dosage is the approved dosage for the treatment of osteoarthritis, or (ii) ***** provided the approved dosage for the treatment of osteoarthritis is other than a once a week dosage. The aforementioned payment of ***** or ***** shall, for the purposes of this Section XVIII(D), be defined as the “OA Milestone Payment.” The OA Milestone Payment shall be adjusted by the percentage change in the US Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers (all items) between May 20, 1999 and the date of the OA Milestone Payment, provided that said adjustment shall not exceed a total of *****. |
4. | Indemnification. Upon the occurrence of the OA Milestone Trigger, all Losses related in any way to the osteoarthritis Joint Product Improvement shall be subject to Article XV, regardless of whether any such Loss arose from or was associated with activities which occurred prior to the OA Milestone Trigger. |
- 94 -
ARTICLE XIX
ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING
A. | The parties recognize that the holder of a Health Registration may be required to submit information regarding adverse events concerning the Product to various governmental agencies. Information usually must be submitted at the time of initial filing for investigational use in humans and at the time of a request for market approval. In addition, supplemental information may be required to be provided at periodic intervals and adverse events may be required to be reported at more frequent intervals depending on the severity of the event. |
B. | The parties agree to establish as soon as practicable after the Original Agreement Effective Date detailed procedures for reporting of adverse events including: |
1. | information regarding all adverse events concerning the Product; |
2. | reporting forms to be used; |
3. | information concerning all other Product complaints obtained by either party; |
4. | designation of and contact information for each party’s medical surveillance liaison; |
5. | information to be included in reports; and |
6. | timing and logistics of adverse event reporting. |
Each party agrees to answer in a reasonably exhaustive manner all questions the other party might raise with regard to adverse events.
C. | The party holding the Health Registration in a particular country in the Territory shall investigate adverse events and non-clinical complaints associated with the Product reported in that country and as required report such information to the appropriate regulatory authorities. |
ARTICLE XX
COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS
Each party shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations and the IFPMA code of practice in the development, manufacture, distribution, marketing, promotion and sale of the Product within the Territory.

ARTICLE XXI
ACCOUNTING
A. | Records. Both parties shall keep accurate and correct records of ADE and the calculation of Primary Detail Cost, Net Outside Sales, of any and all allowances and discounts and the like, and of Cost of Goods, in sufficient detail to enable the Auditor to verify such figures and to make the calculations required under the Collaboration Agreement Documents. Such records shall be retained for at least five (5) years following each Quarter to which they pertain. The calculation of payments in respect of each Quarter shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties upon the first to occur of: |
1. | the expiration of five (5) years following the end of such Quarter, unless an audit of a party’s records of such Quarter is then in progress; or |
2. | the final resolution of an audit of a party’s records for such Quarter. |
B. | Audit Procedure. At any time prior to the expiration of five (5) years following the end of any Quarter, either party may retain an independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to the other party (each, an “Auditor”) for the purpose of auditing the other party’s records of Net Outside Sales, Cost of Goods, ADE and the calculation of Primary Detail Cost (in terms of PDEs), and payments paid or payable under the Collaboration Agreement Documents. The purpose of such audit shall be to verify the calculation of Net Outside Sales for such Quarter(s), ADE and the calculation of Primary Detail Cost for such Quarter(s) and the payments paid or payable under the Collaboration Agreement Documents for such Quarter(s). A party shall provide to the other party at least twenty (20) days advance written notice before each such audit. An audited party shall cooperate in such audit by allowing the Auditor access, during normal business hours at the location(s) where such records are normally kept, to the party’s records of Net Outside Sales for such Quarter(s), ADE and the calculation of Primary Detail Cost for such Quarter(s) and the payments paid or payable under the Collaboration Agreement Documents for such Quarter(s). Upon request by a party, the Auditor may be required, as a condition of being granted access to that party’s records hereunder, to agree to maintain any information reviewed, including, but not limited to, reports submitted to the parties pursuant to this Article XXI hereof, in confidence under reasonable terms and conditions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in any country a party may only cause an audit once in any Contract Year. |
C. | Audit Results. At the conclusion of the Auditor’s audit pursuant to Section XXI(B) hereof, the Auditor shall submit a written report to the parties setting forth the Auditor’s findings with respect to the correct Net Outside Sales, ADE and the calculation of Primary Detail Cost and the payments paid or payable under the Collaboration Agreement Documents for the Quarter in question. If the Auditor’s report results in findings as to Net Outside Sales, ADE and the calculation of Primary Detail Cost and the payments paid or payable under the Collaboration Agreement Documents which findings are different from those figures originally reported or paid by a party, then the report shall include a reconciliation of the original figures with those found to be correct by the |
- 96 -
Auditor and the source of such difference(s). The report shall not include copies of any books and records reviewed by the Auditor in conducting the audit or in responding to a challenge procedure pursuant to Section XXI(D) hereof. The details of such report shall be treated by each party as confidential pursuant to Article XIII of this Agreement. If there is no challenge to the Auditor’s report, then the audited party shall pay to the other party an amount sufficient to remedy the amount of any under or over reporting or under or overpayment found by the Auditor. |
D. | Challenge Procedure. The parties agree to work together with the Auditor in good faith to resolve any disputes arising out of or relating to the numbers verified and the results reported in an Auditor’s report in a timely, professional and non-adversarial manner. If the parties and the Auditor cannot so resolve a dispute, then disputes shall be resolved under the dispute resolution provisions of Article XVI of this Agreement. |
E. | Co-Marketing and Converted Co-Marketing Territories. The provisions of this Section XXI shall not apply to the Co-Marketing and Converted Co-Marketing Territories or to the country of Spain, except with respect to audits of payments made or payable under Section II(B). The Auditor’s reports shall be limited to those transactions necessary to verify the accuracy of those payments. |
F. | Merck License. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that the licensor under the Merck License requests to audit Net Outside Sales data from the Potential Co-Promotion Territory that has been provided to P&G by API, API agrees that such licensor will be permitted to audit API’s books and records no more than once per calendar year solely for this purpose upon reasonable advance notice to API; provided, however, that such licensor must use a mutually agreeable certified public accountant to audit such books and records. As of the A&R Agreement Effective Date, the Merck License is in full force and effect, and no party (including P&G as licensee and API as sublicensee) to the Merck License is in breach or default thereunder. P&G shall devote reasonable best efforts to maintain the Merck License in full force and effect and each party shall fully perform its obligations thereunder and keep the other party fully informed of any material developments pertaining thereto that would have an adverse effect on the other party’s rights under this Agreement. P&G shall not, without the prior written approval of API: (i) amend any provision of the Merck License that would have an adverse effect on API’s rights under this Agreement or (ii) make any election or exercise any right or option to terminate in whole or in part the Merck License. |
ARTICLE XXII
COMMERCIALIZATION OF SECONDARY PRODUCTS
If, during the Term of the Collaboration Agreement Documents, either party intends to commercialize a Secondary Product or transfer any rights under this Agreement to a third party to allow that third party to commercialize a Secondary Product, then that party shall, prior to the commercialization of such Secondary Product or the transfer of rights under this Agreement to a third party to allow that third party to commercialize such Secondary Product, obtain the
- 97 -
approval of the other party and offer to the other party the right to participate in the commercialization of such Secondary Product. Neither party shall commercialize a Secondary Product without the approval of the other party. If the other party opts not to participate in the commercialization of a Secondary Product, then the costs and benefits of the commercialization of such Secondary Product shall accrue to the commercializing party. If the other party elects to participate, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions for the commercialization of any such Secondary Product, which shall be no less favorable to either party than the terms and conditions for the collaboration regarding the Product as contained in this Agreement and the other Collaboration Agreement Documents, including, but not limited to, payment of one-third of all development costs by the party opting to participate in the commercialization of the other party’s Secondary Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Article XXII shall not be applicable to P&G’s actions with respect to etidronate, etidronate combinations (including kits), OTC Products or P&G Product Improvements, or to API’s actions with respect to an API Product Improvement.
ARTICLE XXIII
RISEDRONATE OTC RIGHT
A. | P&G Exclusive Rights to OTC Products. The parties agree that nothing in the Collaboration Agreement Documents shall be interpreted to grant or allow to API any rights within the Territory to make, use, sell and import any OTC Product. In any country in the Territory where the Product and an OTC Product may be marketed concurrently P&G shall have the right to apply the Product trademark to such OTC Product. It is recognized that modification of the Product trademark may be legally required in some countries to further distinguish the Product from such OTC Product. In any country in which P&G elects to sell an OTC Product in which country API is the holder of the Health Registration for the Product, API shall provide to P&G a copy of said Health Registration, and/or grant to P&G a right of reference to such Health Registration as P&G may request. All external out-of-pocket costs incurred by API associated with providing a copy of a Health Registration and/or granting a right of reference to a Health Registration shall be borne by P&G. |
B. | Remuneration of API Upon Introduction of OTC Product. If, during the Term, P&G launches an OTC Product in any country in the Territory in which the Product is on the market, then, in compensation for monies and effort expended by API in developing the market for the Product in the Territory, P&G shall, for the portion of the Term during which such OTC Product is on the market in such country, pay to API an amount equal to: (i) ***** of the Net Outside Sales of the OTC Product in such country if there is no generic version of the Product on the market in such country (other than a generic version of the Product commercialized by or on behalf of P&G or its Affiliate), or (ii) ***** of the Net Outside Sales of the OTC Product in such country if there is a generic version of the Product on the market in such country (other than a generic version of the Product commercialized by or on behalf of P&G or its Affiliate). |

[RESERVED]
ARTICLE XXV
MISCELLANEOUS
A. | Use and Obligations of Affiliates. The parties acknowledge that each of them has very limited or no operations in many countries within the Territory. The parties also acknowledge that each of them has numerous Affiliates in many countries within the Territory, including, without limitation, in countries in which the parties themselves have very limited or no operations. Accordingly, any obligation of a party pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement Documents may be satisfied by an appropriate Affiliate of such party and shall be deemed to be an obligation of such party and such party’s appropriate Affiliates. Additionally, any right of a party pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement Documents may be exercised by any appropriate Affiliate of such party, including as against any Affiliate of the other party and shall be deemed to be a right of such party and such party’s appropriate Affiliates. |
B. | Setoff. From time to time during the performance of the Collaboration Agreement Documents the parties may have actual payment obligations to one another that must be satisfied on or near the same date, in the same country and currency. The parties agree that it is in their best interests to setoff these amounts against one another so that only one net amount shall be paid by the party owing the greater amount. Accordingly, the parties agree to cooperate with one another to identify opportunities to setoff payments to one another and to calculate and make net payments and make the appropriate accounting entries in their respective books and records. |
C. | Payment Method. All payments to be made under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer, and the paying party agrees to provide two (2) Business Days prior notice to the Alliance General Manager or his designee to confirm the amount of such wire transfer and the wire transfer instructions. Any payments or portions thereof due hereunder which are not paid by the date such payments are due under this Agreement shall bear interest equal to the lesser of (i) the prime rate as reported by the Xxxxxx Guaranty Bank and Trust, New York, New York on the date such payment is due, plus an additional three percent (3%), or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law, calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent. The parties agree that payments made under this Agreement will be in the currency and to the entity selected by the receiving party. |
D. | Currency Conversion. The parties acknowledge that the cash flows underlying monies owed under this Agreement may be in differing currencies that require conversion. Accordingly, the parties agree that all cash flows in a currency which for purposes of this Agreement need to be converted, shall be converted based on the average Spot Rates in effect for such conversion for the Quarter in which such underlying monies are owed under this Agreement. For purposes of this Section XXV(D), “Spot Rate” shall mean the relevant currency conversion rate in effect for P&G’s exchange rate provider and, if such |
- 99 -
currency conversion rate is not available from such source on the relevant date, then the “Spot Rate” shall mean the currency conversion rate agreed by the parties at that time. The parties agree that all currency conversion risk and costs associated with currency conversion will be shared equally by the parties. As of the A&R Agreement Effective Date, P&G’s exchange rate provider is Bloomberg and in the event that P&G changes its exchange rate provider, P&G shall give prompt written notice to API of such change, and if API is unable to obtain reasonable access to such new exchange rate provider, P&G shall provide a mechanism through which to provide such information to API in a timely and transparent matter. |
E. | Additional Agreements. P&G and API agree to work together and cooperate to develop planning which results in the maximum after-tax benefits to each company. To the extent any benefits result from this cooperation the companies agree to share equally the resulting benefits. Additionally, the parties agree that from time to time it may be prudent to enter into one or more additional agreements to implement this Agreement in various countries within the Territory. Each party agrees, upon the request of the other party to enter into good faith negotiations with respect to such additional agreements, which additional agreements shall not be inconsistent with the other Collaboration Agreement Documents. |
F. | Withholding Tax.

Schedule I-A - API Patents
None.
Schedule I-B - Cost of Goods
Cost of Goods Sold (CG)
This is the value of Product manufactured and other related costs necessary to deliver Product to the customer. In terms of this collaboration, it will include the standard cost of goods sold (expressed as units of Product sold times the unit standard costs), the cost of warehousing and distributing finished Product, plus period costs/manufacturing variances allocated per manufacturing standards. Variances versus the total standard cost for the current fiscal year (including those attributable to the impact of currency exchange rates) that are less than or equal to ***** will be paid by the manufacturer. Variances exceeding ***** of standard cost for the current fiscal year will be shared *****.
Unit Standard Cost
This represents the best estimate of costs to acquire and convert raw and package materials into a finished product available for sale. The unit standard cost will be determined annually and used for an entire fiscal year based on a full cost method using ABC (“Activity Based Cost”) as the primary methodology for assigning cost to Product. The manufacturer may choose to establish a standard each six (6) month period.
The cost of raw and package materials is the best average price that the purchasing department can negotiate to be paid over the twelve (12) month fiscal period of operation for the collaboration based on both P&G’s and API’s buying power, volumes of material being purchased, current market conditions and demand for the commodities being purchased. The material (commodity) standard cost should include related inbound freight, duties, taxes and demurrage. The material standard costs is expressed as a unit cost per measure (e.g. kilos, grams, bottles, caps, etc.) and applied to the Product based on the unit ratios and yields (incorporating “normal” expected loss, scrap, etc.) as defined in the xxxx of materials.
NOTE: Contract manufacturing costs are generally captured as material costs but may be treated as an outside service under manufacturing operating expense where no materials are involved.
Conversion Costs
These are the costs to convert materials into finished Product. This includes Manufacturing operating expenses incurred to acquire, receive and convert raw and package materials into finished Product. These costs will be divided into appropriate sub-categories of costs and assigned to Product based on an appropriate unit rate (i.e. cost per hour, batch, order, and for usage of the plant).
Examples of sub-categories (rates which would be included in standard cost):
Activities and costs directly related to the manufacture of Product include:
• | Operator or direct labor costs |
• | Workcenter costs (e.g. supervisory and or support labor; depreciation/rental/lease, maintenance costs associated with and expendable activities associated with machinery and equipment; supplies; expendable dies, punches and molds; laundry, etc.) |
• | Contract manufacturing (See notes above under raw and package materials). |
Product manufacturing support activities/costs included in standard cost:
• | raw and package materials warehousing |
• | inventory receiving |
• | process and package engineering |
• | inventory purchasing |
• | production planning |
• | quality assurance |
• | regulatory fees (plant & product) |
Overhead Costs
• | Administrative overhead costs - for internal services such as mail, telephone, training, human resources, cafeteria, I.S./data processing, plant management, cost accounting. |
• | Facilities costs - depreciation/rent on buildings, insurance, taxes, maintenance utilities, janitorial service, security, grounds (lawn care, snow removal, parking lots, landscaping); industrial hygiene and general waste. |
Administrative and facilities cost may be treated as a direct charge to product or distributed and assigned for inclusion in the rates of the direct and indirect activities/sub-categories listed above.
The cost items listed below will be treated either as part of the standard cost or as period costs, as indicated:
Project/Plant Startup (Pre-Production Expense)
Both the cost associated with initial startup of production required to gain approval of the Product for Co-Promotion, Secondary Co-Promotion and Co-Marketing Territories at the P&G manufacturing locations, currently Weiterstadt, Germany and Manati, Puerto Rico, and the costs associated will be paid by P&G. Costs associated with a decision by the parties to qualify or arrange for the sourcing of raw or other materials or active product ingredient to be manufactured and/or packaged at other third party sites (such as Norwich, New York current contract manufacturer) will be shared as agreed by the parties. In this case the cost will be treated as a period cost and not included in the standard cost.
Manufacturing Product/Process Improvements
Costs associated with product line extensions (new SKUs), process improvements (e.g. batch size, testing methods), etc. will be shared as a period cost consistent with the cost sharing agreed to for the Territory requesting/requiring the change.
Plant Shut Down
Costs arising from a plant or line shut down will be negotiated and approved by the Alliance Management Committee. This will be treated as a period cost.
FADO (Fixed Asset Disposal Order)
Costs associated with the disposal of a fixed asset will be shared consistent with that assets prior usage by the Product unless otherwise agreed by the Alliance Management Committee. This will be treated as a period cost.
Obsolescence
Obsolescence will be shared as a period cost by the collaboration consistent with the way the parties are sharing the Cost of Goods for the territory for which the Product was manufactured.
Finished Goods Logistics Costs
These are the costs incurred from entry of finished Product into the warehousing and distribution chain. Because of the nature of this Collaboration Agreement in which both parties will be warehousing and distributing product it becomes difficult to include these costs in the unit standard cost of the Product without becoming duplicative. Therefore, in general, these costs will be treated as period cost, with a few minor exceptions as noted below.
• | Plant shipping costs to an initial warehouse may be included in the standard cost. |
• | Taxes, customs and duties including importer fees may be included in the standard cost only for each individual country where these costs are applicable. |
• | Repackaging cost incurred in those instances where the collaboration management decides to ship bulk or semi-finished Product for packaging regionally or locally will be included in those standard costs. This actually represents a continuation of the manufacturing process. |
• | Warehousing costs - The proportional share of warehousing costs associated with the receiving, handling, storage and management of finished Product awaiting shipment to the final customer or another warehouse will be included in Cost of Goods sold as a period cost. |
• | Due to the nature of the collaboration, customer service costs associated with the receipt, processing, invoicing and collections of a customer order will be included in the cost of goods as a period cost. |
Minimum Order Quantities
Unit Standard Costs shall reflect finished Product orders at or above minimum order quantities (MOQ). Orders for Product below MOQs are subject to an upcharge of ***** per order or such other amount agreed to by the parties. The MOQ and the amount of the upcharge therefor will be discussed in good faith by the parties on an annual basis. This upcharge would not be applicable to the initial order for a country launching a new SKU or Product form if such order would be for the full quantity of Product needed for such country in such year. If an upcharge would apply to an order for Product in a particular country, then before producing Product to meet such order, P&G shall ask the API Affiliate in such country to confirm such order in light
of the upcharge. MOQs for new SKUs or Product forms will be established by P&G with API’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Changes in the upcharge or MOQ shall be documented in writing by the parties.
Schedule I-C - Net Outside Sales
Net Outside Sales is defined as Outside Sales less spending which “works” to reduce the cost of Product to the customer or consumer less UK PPRS Payments.
Net Outside Sales can be calculated as follows:
Outside Sales
- Cash Discount
- Returns and Adjustments
- Decline in Price
- Special Allowances
- Rebates and Discounts
- Temporary Price Reductions
- UK PPRS Payments
= Net Outside Sales
Each of these elements are defined below.
OUTSIDE SALES: Outside Sales are calculated by multiplying invoice cases times list price (before allowances).
CASH DISCOUNT: The cash discount is the incentive provided to customers to pay an invoice within a stipulated time period.
RETURNS AND ADJUSTMENTS: These are adjustment to outside sales for returns, refusals, shortages, near dated product, etc.
DECLINE IN PRICE: This refers to payments made following a list price reduction to compensate for warehouse stocks and stocks in transit purchased at a higher price, allowing for an immediate decline in price.
SPECIAL ALLOWANCES: This is a one time allowance prior to a price increase to prevent excessive stocking at the lower price that often occurs just prior to a price increase.
REBATES AND DISCOUNTS: The government prescribes discounts for certain distribution channels (VA, Medicaid, etc.). These are deducted from NOS. From time to time we authorize discounts to other customers including a discount at launch as an incentive to fill the pipeline. Managed Care and other organizations also receive certain discounts for our brands when sold individually and when sold as a package with other products. When sold as a package the package discount is allocated to the brands as a percent of NOS.
TEMPORARY PRICE REDUCTION (TPR) SALES DEDUCTIONS: This cost includes trade related promotions, direct-to-consumer price reductions, and any other brand support promotions that reduce the final selling price.
UK PPRS: Payments made to the UK Department of Health or other Government Departments under the UK Pharmaceutical Pricing Regulatory Scheme (PPRS) or its successors which are intended to control pricing in the UK.

Schedule I-G Example of Threshold Amount Using CPIU (US $Million)

Schedule I-H - Primary Detail Cost Determination
The parties shall establish the Primary Detail Cost for employee Representatives and Primary Detail Costs for Fully Dedicated Contract Representatives for each country in the Co-Promotion Territory, Secondary Co-Promotion Territory and Secondary Converted Co-Promotion Territory in each Contract Year in accordance with the following methods. For clarity, the cost of Details provided by Contract Representatives that are not Fully Dedicated Contract Representatives shall be charged based on the actual cost of a Detail provided by such other Contract Representative.
Primary Detail Cost For Employee Representatives
For each such country, the Primary Detail Cost for employee Representatives shall be the average of each party’s Primary Detail Cost as determined by the actual average cost per employee Representative in that country divided by the average number of Calls made by such Representatives in that country during the previous twelve (12) month period, which quotient shall be multiplied by a factor of ***** to reflect the weighting of a Primary Detail within a Call. Details performed by, and costs associated with Contract Representatives shall not be included in the calculation of Primary Detail Cost for employee Representatives.
Calculation of the actual average cost per Representative shall include the costs of salaries and benefits, bonuses and rewards, operating expenses (cars, office supplies, office space, equipment, depreciation, repairs, maintenance, telephones, computers, etc.), and normal travel and meeting expenses.
Calculation of the actual average cost per Representative shall not include the costs of the field sales management structure or administrative support, entertainment of Representatives or customers, unusual travel and meeting expenses, sales targeting or tracking data (e.g., IMS, Scriptrak, Xxxxx), personnel costs associated with provision of computer support, sample tracking, sales report creation, budget administration, sales program development or sales training.
Primary Detail Cost For Fully Dedicated Contract Representatives
For each such country, the Primary Detail Cost for Fully Dedicated Contract Representatives shall be the actual cost of such Fully Dedicated Contract Representative in that country divided by the average number of Calls made by such Fully Dedicated Contract Representatives in that country during the previous twelve (12) month period, which quotient shall be multiplied by a factor of ***** to reflect the weighting of a Primary Detail within a Call. The calculation of Primary Detail Cost for a Fully Dedicated Contract Representative shall not include any amounts for the unused capacity of such Fully Dedicated Contract Representative.
For purposes of this Schedule I-H, a “Call” is defined as a visit by a Sales Representative to a physician, licensed physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or other person legally permitted to prescribe prescription drugs during which such Representative promotes a prescription pharmaceutical product.
Schedule I-I - Detail Definitions
“Primary Detail” shall mean a Detail during which the presentation and discussion of the Product occupies more time than the presentation and discussion of any other product. In a Primary Detail, the Product will normally be discussed in the first position, and such discussion will consist, in general, of opening remarks relating to the physician/patient needs, followed by a fairly-balanced discussion of the way in which the Product’s benefits meet patient needs, and ending with a mention of the Product’s dosage schedule and, if appropriate, a request by the Representative for a commitment from the health practitioner to use the Product.
“Secondary Detail” shall mean a Detail during which the presentation and discussion of the Product occupies more time than the presentation and discussion of all but one other product.
