In the event PARI avails itself of the rights set forth in this Section 4.12 with respect to any country, Kamada shall, at its own expense, provide PARI with any and all information, data and documentation, including without limitation reference to any Drug Product registration file, in English, as shall be required by any such Competent Regulatory Authority for the registration of any Product in such country, and PARI shall be entitled to incorporate any such information, data and/or documentation in the registration file of any Product for the exclusive purpose of filing and registering such Product with the Competent Regulatory Authority in such country. PARI shall be the exclusive title holder of the marketing license of any such Product in any such country as contemplated by this Section 4.12, which rights shall not be assigned or transferred by PARI to any third party without Kamada's prior written consent (except in cases where such assignment or transfer is to an Affiliate of PARI, in which cases no prior written consent shall be required), and shall automatically revert to Kamada upon the termination or expiration of such supply and distribution agreement. It is clarified that Kamada shall not pay to PARI any Royalties or other payments with respect to the sales of any Products in any such country. |
4.13. | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Kamada shall pay (i) all costs and expenses associated with any [*****] performed in connection with this Agreement, and (ii) any and all [*****] in connection with this Agreement to the extent that the relevant consultation services pertain solely to the Drug Product. |
5. | Reimbursable Expenditure - Terms of Payment |
5.1. | By the [*****] day of each calendar month, each party (in this Section 5, the "Invoicing Party") shall invoice the other party (in this Section 5, the "Paying Party") for [*****] of the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Invoicing Party during the preceding calendar month, and for which such party is entitled to reimbursement from the Paying Party pursuant to Section 4 (in this Section 5, the "Reimbursable Expenditures"). Each such monthly invoice shall be accompanied by a monthly report certified by the Invoicing Party's Chief Financial Officer, detailing the relevant Reimbursable Expenditures, and appropriate documentation of such Reimbursable Expenditures. |
5.2. | Payments of the invoiced amounts (of Reimbursable Expenditures) shall be made by the Paying Party within [*****] upon receipt of the monthly invoice, by way of wire transfer to such bank account that shall be designated from time to time by the Invoicing Party. |
[*****] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
12 |
5.3. | Any payments or portions thereof due under this Section 5, which are not paid when due, shall bear interest equal to the prime rate as reported by the Chase Manhattan Bank, New York, New York, on the date such payment is due, plus an additional [*****] calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent. This Section 5.3 shall not limit any other remedies available under this Agreement or applicable law. |
5.4. | All payments of Reimbursable Expenditures hereunder shall be made in either U.S. Dollars or Euros, free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of, any current or future taxes, levies, imports, duties, charges, or other deductions or withholdings levied in any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made or where the Paying Party is located, unless such deduction or withholding is required by applicable law, in which event the gross payment due to the Invoicing Party shall be increased so that the net amount received by the Invoicing Party after the required reduction shall be equal to the invoice amount with the addition of any accumulated interest, if due. |
5.5. | Kamada shall apply to the Israeli tax authority (the "ITA") for pre-ruling that will allow Kamada to credit input VAT applying to its Reimbursable Expenditures against any VAT collected by Kamada, and/or will exempt any and all payments, paid by PARI to Kamada as reimbursement for Kamada's Reimbursable Expenditures, from VAT. PARI shall fully cooperate with Kamada and provide Kamada with any assistance and/or information and/or documentation, as shall be reasonably required in order to obtain such pre-ruling. If the foregoing request for pre-ruling is conditioned or rejected by the ITA, in whole or in part, Kamada shall so inform PARI in writing, and the parties shall work together, basing on their tax consultants' advise, to fulfill the conditions stipulated by the ITA or to find another legitimate way that will bring to the same results (i.e. – enabling Kamada to credit input VAT on its Reimbursable Expenditures and/or exempting any reimbursements paid by PARI to Kamada from VAT). |
5.6. All payments hereunder made in any currency other than United States Dollars or Euros shall be converted to US Dollars or Euros using an exchange rate equal to the exchange rate for the purchase of United States Dollars or Euros, as reported by the European Central Bank on the date of the respective invoice.
6. | The Device and its Supply |
6.1. | PARI, at its own cost, will develop and implement such adjustments and Improvements (including, without limitation the xXxx system) to the Present Device pursuant to this Agreement (including without limitation the development work and the Improvements that are explicitly described in Appendix ‘D’ in order to meet the target performance characteristics and specifications set forth in Appendix ‘D’), including without limitation the target specifications of the xXxx System, and as shall be reasonably required for the clinical development (phases II & III), registration with Competent Regulatory Authorities and/or marketing of any Product by Kamada and/or any of its distributors and/or permitted sublicensees in any country in the Territory for the First Two Indications. It is clarified that PARI shall not be required to implement any such adjustments and Improvements prior to the Phase I Clinical Trials (i.e. the Present Device shall be used in the Phase I Clinical Trials as is, in compliance with the performance characteristics ascribed to it in Appendix ‘D’). |
13 |
The values/ranges of the performance
characteristics ascribed to the Present Device in Appendix 'D' are final and binding on the parties. The target values/ranges of
MMD and GSD ascribed to the Device in Appendix 'D' are final and binding on the parties; the other target performance characteristics
ascribed to the Device in Appendix 'D' (i.e. delivered dose and output rate) are of a non-binding nature. Nevertheless, PARI undertakes
to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Device developed under this Agreement will comply with such non-binding
target performance characteristics as well. Without derogating from PARI's foregoing undertaking, it is agreed that in any event
shall the actual values/ranges of the Device's performance characteristics be at least equivalent (if not better) to the respective
values/ranges of the Present Device (as set forth in Appendix 'D'). Upon their update in accordance with Section 1.40, the Specifications
will become completely binding on the parties, including without limitation the values of all performance characteristics.
Following the update of the Specifications by the parties pursuant to Section 1.40, PARI shall conduct, at its own cost, breath
simulation tests of the Device with the Drug Product to (i) ensure the Device's compliance with the Specifications; and (ii) characterize
the performance of the Device to the satisfaction of the Competent Regulatory Authorities. Such tests shall be conducted in compliance
with the Competent Regulatory Authorities' standards and requirements as shall be in effect from time to time. Any documentation
with respect to the updated Specifications, including, without limitation, the performance characteristics of the Device required
by any Competent Regulatory Authority, including, without limitation, any agreed upon design modifications, shall be completed
by PARI no later than the Phase II Target Date, so that Kamada can include the description of the Device that meets the
updated Specifications in the application for approval of the Phase II/III clinical trial of the Drug Product with the Device (the
IMPD) for the First Two Indications. Kamada shall supply to PARI such quantities of the Drug Product and perform analyses as may
be required for the foregoing tests.
PARI shall provide Kamada, at PARI's own cost and expense, with Devices (including, without limitation, the Cleaning Method and/or
any accessory based on the Cleaning Method, all upon mutual agreement of the parties), replacement parts and regulatory, R&D
and other technical support, as shall reasonably be requested by Kamada and/or any permitted sublicensee thereof for the successful
completion of the clinical trials (Phase I, II and III) and registration (including any renewals of registration) of any such Product
with any Competent Regulatory Authority, including without limitation, training of Kamada's or Kamada's permitted sublicensee’s
sub-contractor's designated personnel in using the Device during the Products' clinical trials (phases I, II and III), which training
shall be reasonable and coordinated in advance with PARI. PARI shall provide Kamada with first free samples of the Device complying
with the updated Specifications no later than [*****].
14 |
Without derogating from the above, PARI hereby undertakes to continue the development of an option for cleaning or cleaning method
for use with the Device that may or may not consist of or include a cleaning device, which cleaning method shall meet the regulatory
requirements of the Competent Regulatory Authorities (the "Cleaning Method"). The Cleaning Method shall effectively
clean [*****].The parties agree to work together in determining the final performance specifications for such Cleaning Method and
thereafter PARI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the development of a Cleaning Method prior to the Phase II/III
clinical trials for the first of the First Two Indications. In the event such Cleaning Method is not completed by such Phase II/III
clinical trials, then PARI shall provide a commercially reasonable alternative for use with the Device that otherwise meets all
requirements established by parties hereunder (including, without limitation, meeting the requirements of the Competent Regulatory
Authorities as shall be in effect from time to time).
6.2. | During the Royalties Period, PARI shall continue providing Kamada and/or Kamada's permitted sublicensees, at PARI's own cost and expense, with regulatory and technical support beyond clinical trials and registration, as may be reasonably requested by Kamada with respect to the marketing, distribution and sales of Products, worldwide. Such support shall include, inter alia, training of the designated personnel of Kamada and/or Kamada's distributors and/or sub-licensees, as the case may be, as shall be reasonably necessary to qualify such personnel to provide Device related maintenance and support services to end user patients. |
6.3. | Kamada may, at its sole discretion, but shall not be obliged to, register any Product with any Competent Regulatory Authority, worldwide; provided that Kamada shall be obligated to use reasonable efforts to register a Product with a Competent Regulatory Authority in at least a Major EU Country and the United States of America. Without derogating from Section 6.1, PARI shall provide Kamada, at PARI's own cost and expense, with any and all information, data and documentation, including without limitation reference to the Device registration file, in English, or make such registration file to the Competent Regulatory Authority, as shall be required by any such Competent Regulatory Authority for the registration of any Product for the First Two Indications, and Kamada shall be entitled to incorporate any such information, data and/or documentation in the registration file of any Product. Kamada shall exclusively own any and all title and right in and to any registration file of any Product, excluding any registration file pertaining solely to the Device. |
6.4. | The parties shall enter into a definitive supply agreement providing for the supply of Devices (including, without limitation, the Cleaning Method and/or any accessory based on the Cleaning Method, all upon mutual agreement of the parties) and replacement parts, improved and adjusted for use with the Drug Product in accordance with Section 6.1, from PARI or its contract manufacturer to Kamada and/or any of its distributors and/or permitted sublicensees (the "Supply Agreement"), and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute such Supply Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than [*****], which deadline may be postponed by mutual written consent of the parties. The parties shall negotiate with one another in good faith with respect to the Supply Agreement, which shall incorporate the terms set forth on Appendix 'G' hereto and other customary terms for a supply relationship of this nature. |

6.5. | Subject to termination of this Agreement and until such termination, the cost of the Devices for use in clinical trials and regulatory efforts and the support services provided by PARI to Kamada and/or Kamada's permitted sublicensees as mentioned in this Section 6 shall be exclusively incurred by PARI in addition to its share in funding the out-of-pocket expenses related to the Project pursuant to Section 4 above, and the cost of the Drug Product/Kamada’s API for use in clinical trials shall be exclusively incurred by Kamada in addition to its share in funding the out-of-pocket expenses related to the Project. |
6.6. | The cumulative quantity of the Device (including, without limitation, the Cleaning Method and/or any accessory based on the Cleaning Method, all upon mutual agreement of the parties) required for the clinical trials of Products for the First Two Indications, combined, is estimated by the parties to be [*****] (of both the Device and the Cleaning Method and/or any accessory based on the Cleaning Method, all upon mutual agreement of the parties) + replacement parts as necessary. Kamada, on its part, undertakes to supply, at its expense, such quantity of its Drug Product, as shall be required for the same purpose. The foregoing is a non-binding estimation and the parties may, from time to time, discuss and mutually agree on extending the quantity of clinical trial supplies, if needed, to such quantities and timelines as actually required according to the clinical trial plan, including, without limitation, if the clinical trial is extended to additional indications (beyond the First Two Indications) and/or in the event that additional trials are required by any Competent Regulatory Authority. |
6.7. | PARI will (1) notify Kamada in writing, reasonable time in advance and, to the extent covered under the same regulatory marketing authorization for the Device (510(k), CE-marking, or similar), of any planned changes and/or Improvements in or to the Device (including, without limitation, the Cleaning Method) that potentially affect (w) the quality requirements established by a Competent Regulatory Authority, or (x) the compliance of the Device with the Specifications (including, without limitation, the performance characteristics of the Device and/or xXxx System set forth in Appendix 'D' as shall be updated according to Section 1.40) or (y) the user interface (including the xXxx System) or (z) the useful lifetime of the Device or any part thereof as stated in the Device Specifications (as shall be updated according to Section 1.40), and (2) supply to Kamada, at Kamada's request, any and all such improved models of the Device (including, without limitation, the Cleaning Method and/or any accessory based on the Cleaning Method, all upon mutual agreement of the parties), on an exclusive basis, for use with the Drug Product under the License and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. PARI shall not implement any changes and/or Improvements in or to the Device (including, without limitation, to the Cleaning Method) to be used with the Drug Product, without Kamada's prior written consent, if the improved model of the Device (following such changes and/or Improvements) might not fully comply with the finally agreed upon Specifications, the preliminary target specifications which are set forth in Appendix 'D,' and/or if such approved model might not comply with then existing registration and/or require additional trial. |
[*****] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
16 |
6.8. | Throughout the Term hereof and with reasonable advance written notice, PARI and its respective suppliers and sub-contractors shall permit, during normal business hours, an audit inspection of their development, manufacturing and control facilities by personnel of, or designated representatives of, Kamada. |
6.9. | PARI hereby undertakes to make commercially reasonable efforts to continue developing the Device and implementing additional Improvements thereto (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the next paragraph of this Section 6.9), during the Phase II/III clinical trial of the Drug Product and thereafter, as may be necessary from time to time to keep the Device competitive with other devices with comparable configuration and performance charactertistics, provided that the improved Device comprising of such additional agreed on Improvements (an “Upgraded Device”) (x) is still based on the eFlow platform, (y) that the marketing and sale of such Upgraded Device, for use with the Drug Product, is allowed under the then existing regulatory approvals of the Device in the United States of America and/or a Major EU Country, or, (z) includes performance specifications consistent with the Device used in the clinical trials conducted under this Agreement (Phases II/III) that are acceptable to the relevant Competent Regulatory Authority. Subject to the provisions of the next paragraph, PARI shall perform such additional development work at its own cost and expense in compliance with a time table as shall be agreed upon in writing by the parties. In the event that PARI develops such Upgraded Device and Kamada accepts the Improvements in accordance with the procedures set forth in the next paragraph, the definition of the Device set forth in Section 1.8 shall be automatically extended to include the Upgraded Device and all the provisions of the Agreement applying to the Device shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the Upgraded Device as well. |
17 |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if PARI develops an Improvement to the Device, PARI shall immediately notify Kamada in writing of such Improvement and offer Kamada an opportunity to review such Improvement, providing it with all documentation and information related thereto, for a period [*****] days following such notice, in order for Kamada to determine whether it wishes to license such Improvement. If Kamada determines (by giving written notice to PARI) within such [*****] day period that it desires to license such Improvement and include such Improvement in the Device, the parties shall negotiate in good faith and agree on the terms and conditions under which such Improvement shall be included in the Device and become subject, together with all related know-how and intellectual property, to the terms and conditions applying to the Device and/or the Device Related IP hereunder. If Kamada does not give written notice to PARI within the [*****] day period of its desire to license such Improvement, Kamada shall be deemed to have rejected the Improvement and PARI shall have no obligation to include the Improvement in the Device. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if PARI develops an Improvement and desires to obtain patent protection for such Improvement, PARI shall be free to obtain such protection and may take all steps necessary, appropriate or advisable thereto, provided that Kamada's rights under this Agreement shall not be restricted or limited in any way. It is clarified that this paragraph shall not apply to any Improvements developed and/or implemented at any time by PARI pursuant to Section 6.1, which Improvements shall be deemed as part of the Device for the purpose of this Agreement, and therefore will not require Kamada to obtain any new license beyond the License. It is further clarified that neither the Royalties Period nor the Royalties rate shall be affected by the filing of any patent application and/or the issuance of any patent in connection with such Improvements pursuant to Section 6.1.
7. | The Drug Product and its Supply |
7.1. | Kamada at its own expense will implement such adjustments to the volume and/or packaging of its Drug Product as may be required for clinical, regulatory and/or marketing reasons until the successful registration of any Product that Kamada, at its sole discretion, shall choose to register with any Competent Regulatory Authority for the Firsts Two Indications. It is clarified that Kamada shall not be required to implement any such adjustments during the Phase I Clinical Trials (i.e. Kamada's API shall be used in the Phase I Clinical Trials as is). |
7.2. | It is clarified that the cost of Drug Product for use in clinical trials held pursuant to this Agreement for the purpose of registering any Product with any Competent Regulatory Authority for the First Two Indications shall be exclusively borne by Kamada and/or any permitted sublicensee thereof in addition to Kamada's share in funding the out-of-pocket expenses related to the pre-clinical and clinical development of Products contemplated herein pursuant to Section 4 above. |
8. | Diligence Obligations |
8.1. | Kamada shall, or shall direct any permitted Affiliate or any sublicensee of Kamada to, use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the development, registration, marketing, distribution and sale of the Drug Product (i) for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency replacement therapy, in the event Kamada selects the same as the first indication included in the First Two Indications, or (ii) for exacerbations during Alpha-1 deficiency and for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency replacement therapy, in the event Kamada selects exacerbations during Alpha-1 deficiency as the first indication included in the First Two Indications, all for use with the Device in any country in which Kamada decides to register, market and sell any Product. Notwithstanding option (ii) above, if following the registration of the Drug Product for exacerbations during Alpha-1 deficiency as the first indication, there is an extensive off-label use (as defined in the next sentence) of the Drug Product with the Device, Kamada shall not be obliged to pursue the development, registration, marketing, distribution and sale of the Drug Product for a second indication. The parties agree that if the annual Net Sales of the Drug Product (both for exacerbations and off-label use combined) exceed [*****], commencing on the third year following registration for exacerbations in the United States or any Major EU Country, this shall be deemed an “extensive off-label use” for purposes of the prior sentence. |

8.3. | In this Section 8, the term “commercially reasonable efforts” shall mean that level of effort as is customary in the specialty pharmaceutical industry (with respect to Kamada) and the medical device industry (with respect to PARI) for carrying out in a sustained manner a particular task or obligation to develop and commercialize pharmaceutical products or medical devices, as the case may be, and, in any event, not less than the same efforts expended by Kamada or PARI, as the case may be, to develop and commercialize other high priority pharmaceutical products or devices, as the case may be. |
9. | Contacts with Opinion Leaders |
PARI and Kamada will cooperate to establish contacts with opinion leaders specializing in Alpha-1 Anti-Trypsin Deficiency and Cystic Fibrosis and in other diseases that, according to the opinion of leading clinicians and supported by clinical evidence, may be effectively treated with inhaled Drug Product.
10. | Publications; Press Releases |
Except as required by law or court order, all publicity, press releases and other announcements or disclosures, including, without limitation, any publications and/or presentations in any scientific journal, professional conference and commercial fairs, relating to the existence and terms of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, any data collected during the pre-clinical and Phase I clinical trials conducted in the course of the Project and the results of such trials, shall be reviewed in advance by, and shall be subject to the written approval of, both parties; provided that such publicity, press releases and other announcements shall not disclose any confidential information of the other party hereunder and shall give appropriate attribution to the other party’s role(s) in the project contemplated herein. Without derogating from the foregoing, each party shall provide the other party an opportunity to review and comment on the language of such attribution prior to first use thereof in a press release or other public disclosure. Either party may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the terms and conditions hereof, without the prior written consent of the other party, as may be required by applicable law (including, without limitation, disclosure requirements of the SEC, NYSE, or any other stock exchange or NASDAQ), in which case the party seeking to disclose the information shall give the other party reasonable advance notice and review of any such disclosure and shall seek confidential treatment of such information to the extent possible under applicable law.

11. | Royalties |
11.1. | As a total consideration for the License and for the fulfillment of PARI's other obligations under this Agreement, Kamada shall pay PARI with respect to each Drug Product, during the Royalties Period (on a country-by-country basis), royalties at a rate of (i) [*****] of Net Sales for the annual Net Sales up to [*****] during any given year during the Royalties Period, and (ii) [*****] of Net Sales with respect to that portion of Net Sales in excess [*****] and up to [*****], and (iii) [*****] of Net Sales with respect to that portion of Net Sales in excess of US $250 Million, during such year (the "Royalties"). In the event that, after [*****] years following the First Commercial Sale of a Product in a given country, the Device is not covered by any of PARI's Essential Patents in such country, the Royalties rate to be paid by Kamada on Net Sales of the Drug Product in such country going forward during the Royalties Period shall in no event be higher than [*****] and if, in addition to the foregoing, Kamada can demonstrate by reasonably sufficient evidence that there is a competitive nebulizer being sold in such country that includes a feature or component covered by PARI’s Essential Patents, Kamada shall pay PARI with respect to each Drug Product, going forward during the Royalties Period, royalties on Net Sales of the Drug Product in such country equal to [*****] of the foregoing rates, provided, however, that as long as a Joint Patent remains valid the royalty rate under (iii) above will only be reduced by [*****] (which means a [*****] royalty rate). In the event that a Product commercialized in a country is only covered under the claim(s) of a Joint Patent, Kamada shall pay PARI with respect to each Drug Product, during the Royalties Period, royalties at a rate of [*****] of Net Sales of the Drug Product in such country. Following the expiration of the Royalties Period, the License shall turn into a non-exclusive, royalty free license, and Kamada may continue to exploit the rights granted to it under the License without paying any royalties or other consideration to PARI in connection therewith; provided, however, that PARI shall no longer be obligated to adhere to the provisions of Section 3.2 hereof. |
11.2. | In the event that Kamada desires to sublicense and determines in good faith that it would be economically unfeasible to sublicense given the Royalties rate set forth in Section 11.1, then upon the request of Kamada, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith, on a case-by-case basis: (i) an adjustment of the Royalties rate, and (ii) additional compensation for PARI as a result of such sublicense (which may include a one-time up-front payment to PARI), all in order to permit such a sublicense on commercially feasible terms taking into account the relative contributions of the parties until such time of sublicense. However, no such adjustment would be effective unless mutually agreed upon in writing. |
[*****] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
20 |
11.3. | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is clarified that neither party hereto shall be entitled to any royalties or other consideration in connection with any income that the other party might generate as a result of contract manufacturing of its own product(s) (the Drug Product by Kamada, or the Device by PARI), granting manufacturing rights related to its own product(s) and/or as a result of transferring and/or licensing technology and/or know-how and/or providing technical support services in relation to such products to such licensees. If either party intentionally entered into such a transaction in order to avoid any payment to the other party hereunder, and any payments received by such party within the framework of such transaction come in lieu of and/or shift revenue from sales of such party's product(s), which would otherwise be subject to payment of royalties or any other payments to the other party hereunder, then the parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 11.3 shall not apply. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, PARI shall not be entitled to any royalties or other consideration with respect to any income generated by Kamada in connection with Kamada's API to be given by intravenous route. |
11.4. | PARI will pay to Kamada during the Royalties Period (on a country-by-country basis and provided that Kamada and its sublicensees pay Royalties to PARI in accordance with this Agreement) royalties at a rate of [*****] of PARI's annual Net Sales of the Device (excluding replacement parts) for use with the Drug Product for the amount of such Net Sales in excess of [*****].If the parties agree to collaborate with respect to additional indication(s) beyond the First Two Indications, the Net Sales of the Device for use with the Drug Product for such additional indication(s) shall aggregate to the Net Sales of the Device for the purpose of this Section 11.4 and Section 12. Following the expiration of the Royalties Period, PARI may continue to exploit its rights in the Device, subject to Section 3.2, without paying any royalties or other consideration to Kamada in connection therewith. |

12.4. | Each of Kamada and PARI shall keep and shall cause its Affiliates to keep true and complete records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles on Net Sales of Drug Products (with respect to Kamada) and on Net Sales of the Device (with respect to PARI), which shall contain sufficient details to enable the determination of the monies due each party hereunder. |
12.5. | Upon [*****] prior written notice to the other party hereto and in coordination with such other party, each of Kamada and PARI, through its designated representative, shall have access during normal business hours and at its own expense to all such records set forth above in Section 12.3 during the Royalties Period and within the period of three (3) years thereafter. |
Each party’s representative shall report on such records to the extent reasonably necessary to enable the auditing party to assess whether the obligations herein have been fulfilled and/or to determine the amount of monies due such auditing party hereunder. The representative shall be obligated to maintain the confidentiality of such records.
12.6. | All monies due to PARI or Kamada pursuant to Articles 11 and 12 shall be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of, any current or future taxes, levies, imports, duties, charges or other deductions or withholdings levied in any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made or where the payer is located, unless such deduction or withholding is required by applicable law, in which event the party making payment shall make such deduction or withholding for the account of the other party and provide the other party with all required documentation to allow it to receive credit for the amount deducted or withheld. |

infringement as a result of an injunction barring PARI’s use of the Device or an order or judgment that the Device infringes
a third party’s rights; and (ii) the replacement Device performs in accordance with the established Specifications set
forth in Appendix D as shall be finalized by the parties during the Term hereof, and (iii) as long as the replacement Device complies
with the requirements of any Competent Regulatory Authority (to the extent the infringing Device did); and (iv) the parties reach
an agreement, acting in good faith, regarding Kamada's reimbursement, if any, by PARI for any reasonable additional costs and expenses
incurred by Kamada as a result of additional or new clinical studies and/or tests required by the Competent Regulatory Authority
as a direct result of such replacement or modification of the Device.
21.7. | Termination shall not relieve either party of any obligations (including payment obligations) which have accrued prior to the effective date of such termination.

22.2. | If any party is prevented from fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement by reason of a circumstance covered by this Section 22, such party shall, upon the occurrence of any such circumstance, promptly notify the other party of such circumstance and of the likely duration thereof, use its reasonable commercial efforts to alleviate each circumstance and promptly continue performance hereunder upon the cessation of such circumstance. |
23. | Confidentiality |
23.1. | Each of the parties shall retain in strict confidence all Confidential Information heretofore or hereafter obtained from the other party pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, Confidential Information shall be deemed to include information and data exchanged between the parties prior to the Effective Date, including, without limitation, under the Memorandum of Understanding dated as of January 15, 2006, as amended, and other preceding agreements between the parties.
35 |
23.2. | Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties may disclose Confidential Information of the other: |
23.2.1. | to its, or its Affiliates', directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors, to the extent, if any, required for the performance of their duties in connection with this Agreement, provided each such person is individually and personally obligated to comply with confidentiality undertakings no less stringent than the provisions of this Section 23 and that the Recipient shall remain liable to the Disclosing Party for any breaches thereof committed by its Affiliates, or its Affiliates', directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors; |
23.2.2. | to the extent necessary to obtain regulatory approvals of any Competent Regulatory Authority under this Agreement; |
23.2.3. | to the extent required by law, regulation or judicial order, provided that prior to disclosure pursuant to this clause the Recipient gives to the Disclosing Party prompt notice of such required disclosure and fully cooperates with the Disclosing Party's efforts to obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy; and provided further that any such disclosure shall be in writing, shall, to the extent possible, be designated confidential at the time of disclosure, and shall be held by the recipient in accordance with the provisions of this Section 23. |

23.3.3. | was subsequently disclosed to such party by a third party having a lawful right to make the disclosure. |
23.4. | Due to the unique confidential, proprietary and valuable nature of the Confidential Information, the parties acknowledge and agree that in the event that either party fails to comply with its obligations hereunder, monetary damages may be inadequate to compensate the Disclosing Party. Accordingly, the parties agree that the Disclosing Party shall, in addition to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, be entitled to seek injunctive relief to enforce the terms of this Section 23. |
23.5. | The terms and conditions of this Section 23 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement, for any reason whatsoever. |

24. | Sale of Business |
In the event Kamada sells or transfers, directly or indirectly, all of its rights in the Drug Product to a third party, excluding Affiliates of Kamada (the “Third Party Purchaser”) during the Term but after the Phase I Clinical Trials (excluding any sublicense to the Drug Product and/or Kamada's IP, subject to Section 3.3 of this Agreement) (a "Sale of Business Transaction"), Kamada shall pay to PARI, either directly or through such Third Party Purchaser (at Kamada’s sole discretion), a lump sum payment equal to [*****] of the total sale price attributed to the Drug Product related business plus [*****] of any future royalties received by Kamada in connection with sales of the Drug Product within the framework of such transaction, within the minimum and maximum total amounts (of both the lump sum payment and royalties, in aggregate), subject to the timing of such transaction, as indicated below in the table. The Third Party Purchaser may deduct any such amounts paid to PARI from future Royalties payments to PARI, whether such payments were made by Kamada or by such Third Party Purchaser.
Should a dispute arise between the parties as to the total sale price and/or the portion of the total sale price that should be attributed to the Drug Product, such dispute shall be resolved by an agreed on third party assessor selected jointly by the parties without delay. The fee and other expenses paid with respect to the work of such assessor shall be equally borne by the parties.

After [*****] |
Minimum [****] (not to exceed, at any given time, [*****] of the aggregate amount actually received by Kamada by such time for the Drug Product related business)
Maximum [*****] |
* If the amount is not paid in full to PARI at the time of the consummation of the transfer between Kamada and the Third Party Purchaser, because of the threshold restrictions set forth above, Kamada shall promptly pay to PARI the difference upon receipt of additional payments from the Third Party Purchaser.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is clarified that PARI's entitlement to the foregoing compensation shall be conditioned on: (i) at least one of PARI's Essential Patents is valid in the United States of America, Germany and any of France or Italy; (ii) there is no legal and/or regulatory prevention from marketing and/or selling the Device embodying PARI’s Essential Patents in the United States of America, Germany and any of France or Italy; and (iii) PARI's fulfillment of its obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, timely supply of the Device and all related parts and accessories set forth in the Supply Agreement). If any of the foregoing conditions ceases to be fulfilled following such transaction, PARI shall not be entitled to payment out of the royalties incurred from that time onward until the condition is fulfilled again.
Change of control in Kamada shall be deemed a Sale of Business Transaction for the purpose of this Section 24 only in the event that the control is acquired by a Third Party Purchaser in a private allocation against an investment in Kamada (i.e. not in any of the following events: (1) in the course of trade in any stock exchange in which Kamada's shares are, or shall be, traded, or (2) within the framework of a public offering of Kamada's securities, or (3) as a result of sale or transfer of shares by one or more, but not all, existing shareholders in Kamada).
If the Third Party Purchaser wishes to continue the collaboration with PARI under this Agreement, it shall undertake in writing to PARI to fulfill all of Kamada’s undertakings under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligations to diligently pursue clinical development of the Drug Product using the Device (the form of which undertaking is set forth in Appendix I attached hereto). If no such form of undertaking is executed by such Third Party Purchaser at the time of consummation and closing of such Sale of Business Transaction, this Agreement and the Supply Agreement shall be automatically terminated.

For the purpose of this Section 24, a corporation or other entity shall be deemed to control another corporation if it owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% (fifty percent) of the voting shares, or has the power to elect more than half the directors, of such other corporation.
25. | Governing Law; Arbitration |
25.1. | This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, USA without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions therein. |
25.2. | In the event of any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, or alleged breach of this Agreement (the "Dispute"), prior to instituting any arbitration on account of such Dispute, the parties shall attempt in good faith to settle such Dispute first by negotiation and consultation between themselves, including referral of such Dispute to the top executives of Kamada and the top executives of PARI. In the event said executives are unable to resolve such Dispute or agree upon a mechanism to resolve such Dispute within [*****] of the first written request for dispute resolution under this Section 25.2, then the parties shall resolve all such Disputes in accordance with Section 25.3. |
25.3. | If any Dispute has not been resolved by good faith negotiations between the parties pursuant to Section 25.2 above, then the parties shall endeavor to settle the Dispute by submitting the matter to binding arbitration in accordance with the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules. The arbitral tribunal shall be composed of three arbitrators whereby each party shall appoint one arbitrator and the arbitrators so appointed shall appoint the third, subject to recourse to the UNCITRAL rules for such appointments if they are not made within the time limits specified therein. The arbitration will be held in New-York City, USA. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. As part of their award, the arbitrators will assess all costs of the arbitration, including without limitation, legal fees and other expenses of the prevailing party, against the losing party. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed as preventing either party from seeking injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) from any court having jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter of the Dispute as necessary to protect either party’s name, proprietary information, trade secrets, Know-How or any other proprietary right. If the Dispute involves scientific or technical matters, any arbitrator chosen hereunder shall have educational training and/or experience sufficient to demonstrate a reasonable level of knowledge in the field of respiratory disorders. The award rendered by the arbitrators shall be written, final and non-appealable, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. |
