During the Negotiation Period, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith; provided, however, that nothing in this Article shall be deemed to create a legal obligation on the part of Licensee to enter into any such agreement.

In any event, the Steering Committee will meet thirty (30) days after the execution of this Agreement or as soon as practicable as mutually agreed by the Parties. Each representative on the Steering Committee will have one vote in decisions submitted to the Steering Committee. The meetings of the Steering Committee may be held in person or in any other reasonable manner, including, without limitation, by telephone, video conference or e-mail.
(b) [*] shall designate a Chairperson who will serve as such. The Chairperson shall send notices (not less than 15 business days in advance of such meetings) and agendas for all regular Steering Committee meetings to all Steering Committee members. The location of regularly scheduled Steering Committee meetings shall alternate among the offices of the Parties, unless otherwise agreed. Meetings may be held telephonically or by video conference, but each member shall attend at least one meeting in person each year. The Party hosting any
10
Steering Committee meeting shall appoint one person (who need not be a member of the Steering Committee) to attend the meeting and record the minutes of the meeting. Such minutes shall be circulated to the Parties promptly following the meeting for review, comment and approval.
4.2 Responsibilities of the Steering Committee. The Steering Committee will be primarily responsible for activities relating to implementation of the activities contemplated by this Agreement. The Steering Committee shall, subject to the provisions set forth in this Agreement (including the dispute resolution procedures hereof), be the primary vehicle for interaction between the Parties with respect to the Development and commercialization of the Licensed Product in the Territory. In particular, the Steering Committee shall perform the following functions:
(a) exchange of information and facilitation of cooperation and coordination between the Parties as they exercise their respective rights and meet their respective obligations under this Agreement;
(b) perform such other functions as appropriate to further the purposes of this Agreement, as determined by the mutual agreement of the Parties;
(c) with the exception of the Approval that Cellegy has already obtained in the United Kingdom, prior to submitting any Approval application, the Steering Committee shall discuss the scope and content of such Approval application. The Steering Committee may review and comment on all Approval applications, and such comments will be considered by the Parties as long as such comments are provided in a timely manner. In the event of a dispute within the Steering Committee or between the Parties directly or indirectly relating to the choice of countries within the Territory where Approval applications shall be filed and Approvals shall be obtained then clause 4.3 shall not apply. Licensee shall have final decision-making authority with respect to such Approval application issues; however, any such decisions shall be based on Licensee’s good faith belief that such decision is consistent with commercialization requirements of the Territory; and
(d) review and approve the Marketing Plans, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
4.3 Voting; Deadlocks. Each member of the Steering Committee shall have one vote, and all the decisions of the Steering Committee shall be made by a simple majority of the members of such committee; provided, however, that in the event the members of the Steering Committee are deadlocked and cannot reach a decision within three (3) days after notice of a deadlock with regard to any decision required to be made by such committee (each, a “Dispute”), then the Dispute shall be referred to the Chief Executive Officer of each Party. If such Dispute is not resolved by the Chief Executive Officers within five (5) working days of such referral, then (i) Cellegy’s Chief Executive Officer (or such other officer as Cellegy determines) will have the authority to cast the tie-breaking vote with regard to such Dispute if, and only if, the Dispute relates to clinical studies or trials where, in Cellegy’s good faith opinion, the conduct or results of the studies or activities could have a detrimental effect on the
11
commercial viability of the Licensed Product outside of the Territory, and (ii) for other kinds of Disputes, if the Chief Executive Officers cannot agree within such time period, then the Dispute shall be resolved by means of the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 18.14 of this Agreement.
4.4 Approval Plan; Marketing Plan. The overall timetable to obtain Approvals for the Licensed Product in the Territory shall be set forth in a written plan (the “Approval Plan”). In addition, Licensee shall prepare a marketing plan, including details of promotional effort, size of sales force, associated budget in connection with the promotion, marketing and distribution of the Licensed Product in the Major European Countries (the “Marketing Plan”). The initial Marketing Plan for the United Kingdom shall be submitted no later than six (6) weeks after the Effective Date of this Agreement. The initial Marketing Plans for the Major European Countries shall be submitted no later than three (3) months after the Effective Date of this Agreement, and the initial Marketing Plans for the other countries in the Territory shall be submitted no later than one (1) year after the Effective Date of this Agreement. The Marketing Plans shall be consistent in all material respects with the provisions of this Agreement. Subsequent revisions and updates to the Marketing Plan shall be delivered annually and no later than the end of the first week in January (or, if Licensee makes interim revisions or updates, then as soon as reasonably practicable after Licensee prepares such revisions or updates).
ARTICLE 5
REGULATORY MATTERS; APPROVALS
5.1 Regulatory Matters; Approvals.
(a) Licensee shall use Commercially Reasonable and Diligent Efforts, subject to this Agreement, to obtain at its sole expense all Approvals that are necessary for the sale of the Licensed Product within the Territory for the Initial Indication only: without limitation any additional clinical trials, studies or data in addition to the Cellegy Information that may be required in order to obtain or maintain Approvals for the Licensed Product in each country in the Territory for the Initial Indication, and comply with any and all applicable statutory, administrative or regulatory requirements of the Territory or any governmental or political subdivisions thereof (collectively, “Laws”) in relation to the importation, storage, Development, promotion, marketing, distribution or sale of the Licensed Product in the Territory under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Licensed Product documentation such as Licensed Product tracking, samples, Licensed Product complaints, adverse event reporting requirements, post-marketing surveillance activities, and documentation of recalls, which documentation shall be maintained by the Licensee for the period required by the Relevant Regulatory Authorities in the Territory notwithstanding termination or expiration of this Agreement, any Licensed Product registrations with any government agency or health authority, or any registration, approvals, or filing of this Agreement. Licensee shall inform Cellegy on at least a semi-annual basis (and more frequently if Cellegy so reasonably requests) about the progress of such registration work, and will promptly provide Cellegy with a copy of all presentations and documents submitted by Licensee to any Relevant Regulatory Authority with respect to the Licensed Product. Cellegy shall, upon Licensee’s written request, provide reasonable assistance to Licensee, at Licensee’s sole cost, regarding obtaining such Approvals in the Territory, including allowing Licensee
12

reasonable access to relevant experts in relation to the Cellegy Information for the purpose of obtaining Approvals.
(b) With respect to the Subsequent Indication, Cellegy shall be responsible for the conduct of such clinical trials or studies as Cellegy may in its discretion undertake. If Cellegy determines to pursue Approvals for the Licensed Product for the Subsequent Indication in the Territory, Cellegy shall submit to Licensee the information and data that it has developed to be included in the initial application for Approval, such information and data shall be agreed between the parties as adequate and appropriate for an application for Approval of the Subsequent Indication for the Licensed Product in a Major European Country. Licensee shall use Commercially Reasonable and Diligent Efforts, subject to this Agreement, to seek Approval for the Licensed Product for the Subsequent Indication in the United Kingdom (or such other country in the Territory as the Steering Committee may approve) and to obtain at its sole expense all Approvals that are necessary for the sale of the Licensed Product within the Territory for the Subsequent Indication, including without limitation: any additional clinical trials, studies or data that may be required in order to obtain or maintain Approvals for the Licensed Product in each country in the Territory for the Subsequent Indication, comply with any and all applicable Laws in relation to the importation, storage, Development, promotion, marketing, distribution or sale of the Licensed Product in the Territory under this Agreement for the Subsequent Indication, including, without limitation, Licensed Product documentation such as Licensed Product tracking, samples, Licensed Product complaints, adverse event reporting requirements, post-marketing surveillance activities, and documentation of recalls, which documentation shall be maintained by the Licensee for the period required by the Relevant Regulatory Authorities in the Territory notwithstanding termination or expiration of this Agreement, and any Licensed Product registrations with any government agency or health authority, or any registration, approvals, or filing of this Agreement. Licensee shall inform Cellegy on at least a semi-annual basis (and more frequently if Cellegy so reasonably requests) about the progress of such registration work, and will promptly provide Cellegy with a copy of all presentations and documents submitted by Licensee to any Relevant Regulatory Authority with respect to the Licensed Product. Cellegy shall, upon Licensee’s written request, provide reasonable assistance to Licensee, at Licensee’s sole cost, regarding obtaining such Approvals in the Territory for the Subsequent Indication, including allowing Licensee reasonable access to relevant experts in relation to the Cellegy Information for the purpose of obtaining Approvals. The other provisions of this Agreement shall, as nearly as possible, apply with respect to the Licensed Product for the Subsequent Indication.
(c) Licensee agrees that it will make all filings that are required to seek and obtain Approvals for the Licensed Product in each Major European Country by initiating the M.R.P. no later than [*] after the date on which Licensee is assigned the Approval of the Licensed Product from the Relevant Regulatory Authority in the United Kingdom provided that the dossier used in the United Kingdom is acceptable for use in an M.R.P application. If the Relevant Regulatory Authority in a country other than the United Kingdom determines that such dossier is not complete or acceptable for the initiation of an M.R.P. application in such country, then the Steering Committee shall promptly meet and attempt to agree on an appropriate course of action, and recommend an appropriate modification to the above deadline as applied to such country. Licensee agrees that it will make all filings that are required to seek and obtain Approvals for the
13
[*] designates portions of this document that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed seperately with the Commission
Licensed Product in other countries in the Territory no later than [*] after the completion of the M.R.P. application and to use Commercially Reasonable and Diligent Efforts to take such actions as may be required to promptly obtain Approvals in all of the foregoing countries. If Licensee desires to not seek Approvals in one or more countries in the Territory because Licensee concludes in good faith that for regulatory or marketing reasons it would not be in the parties’ best interests to pursue Approvals in such countries, it shall notify the Steering Committee and the Steering Committee shall decide whether Approvals will be sought in such country or countries. If alteration by Cellegy of the Cellegy Information after the date of this Agreement requires additional time to submit or revise regulatory filings relating to Approvals, then the time periods set forth above for making filings and obtaining Approvals shall be extended by the additional period of time required to submit or revise such filings.
(d) With the exception of the assignment of the Approval that Cellegy has obtained in the United Kingdom and such other materials as Cellegy in its discretion may provide to Licensee pursuant to this Agreement, Licensee shall pay all costs in connection with the filing, prosecution, meetings, communications, and review by Relevant Regulatory Authorities of Approval applications and Approvals relating to the Licensed Product in the Territory and complying with applicable laws and regulations.
5.2 Reversion of Product Rights in Certain Circumstances. If further clinical development is required for Approval of the Initial Indication in a given country (or countries) within the Territory and Licensee elects not to conduct any required clinical studies within twenty-four (24) months after the need for further clinical studies is identified, then the rights in the Licensed Product in any such country shall revert to Cellegy at no further cost to Licensee. If, after the initial application for Approval for the License Product for the Subsequent Indication is filed, further clinical development is required for Approval of the Subsequent Indication in a given country (or countries) within the Territory and Licensee elects not to conduct any required clinical studies within twenty-four (24) months after the need for further clinical studies is identified, then the rights in the Licensed Product with respect to the Subsequent Indication in any such country shall revert to Cellegy at no further cost to Licensee.
5.3 Cooperation Regarding Material Events. Each Party will immediately notify the other Party of any material events relating to the Development of the Licensed Product in the Territory, including, without limitation, any material comments or concerns raised by any Relevant Regulatory Authority.

In particular, Licensee acknowledges that Cellegy has provided to Licensee a copy of the dossier concerning the Licensed Product filed in the United Kingdom. All such documents and reports shall be centralized and held at Licensee or by a Third Party selected by Licensee and agreed to by Cellegy, provided however, that Cellegy shall be entitled to obtain and keep copies of any such documents and records but only for the uses specifically set forth in this Agreement.
14
5.5 Approval Application in the United Kingdom. Cellegy shall do all that is necessary to assign or transfer the Approval (by itself or Cellegy’s Affiliate holding the Approval) in the United Kingdom to Licensee, including (if required) notifying the Relevant Regulatory Authority in the United Kingdom of such a change.
5.6 Meetings With Regulatory Authorities. Licensee shall be responsible for conducting all meetings and discussions and routine telephone communications with any Relevant Regulatory Authority, related to clinical studies, Approval applications and Approvals for the Licensed Product in the Territory; provided that Licensee shall use Commercially Reasonable and Diligent Efforts to conduct such meetings and discussions to facilitate the Approval of the Licensed Product in the Territory. Licensee will inform Cellegy and the Steering Committee early in advance of all meetings with such Relevant Regulatory Authorities and will keep Cellegy and the Steering Committee apprised of all material communications with such Relevant Regulatory Authorities. Cellegy or its designee shall be entitled to attend all meetings with Relevant Regulatory Authorities. If appropriate Cellegy, or Cellegy’s designee, will provide reasonable assistance and technical support for the preparation of and attendance at any relevant meeting with a Relevant Regulatory Authority.
5.7 Inspection. Licensee and Cellegy, and Cellegy shall use all Commercially Reasonable and Diligent efforts to procure that Manufacturer, shall cooperate in good faith with respect to the conduct of any inspections by any Relevant Regulatory Authority of Licensee’s or Manufacturer’s site and facilities related to the Licensed Product, and each Party shall be given the opportunity to attend such site inspection and the summary, or wrap up, meeting related to the Licensed Product with such Relevant Regulatory Authority at the conclusion of such site inspection. To the extent either Party receives written or material oral communication from any Relevant Regulatory Authority relating to the Licensed Product in the Territory, the party receiving such communication shall notify the other parties and provide a copy of any written communication as soon as reasonably practicable.
5.8 Clinical Trials. Licensee shall at its own cost be responsible for the conduct of all studies and clinical trials that may be necessary or appropriate to obtain all required Approvals for the Initial Indication (with the exception of the Approval for the United Kingdom that has been obtained) (and, if Cellegy conducts the clinical studies described in Section 5.1 above with respect to the Subsequent Indication, then Approvals for the Subsequent Indication) and any post-Approval Clinical Trials and for the grant of all necessary approvals and maintaining in effect all appropriate policies of insurance for clinical trials for the use of the Licensed Product in the Initial Indication (and/or Subsequent Indication, as the case may be) in the Territory. All clinical trials for use of the Licensed Product in the Initial Indication (and/or Subsequent Indication, as the case may be) in the Territory that are initiated after the date of this Agreement shall be performed in compliance with and in conformity to ICH and E.U. good clinical practice guidelines. Licensee shall provide Cellegy with the study plans and/or protocols relating to any such clinical trial before the trial is started, and Cellegy shall have the right to review and comment on such trial plans or protocols. At the completion of each clinical trial initiated by Licensee after the Effective Date of this Agreement, Licensee shall prepare a written report, in compliance with the relevant ICH guidelines summarizing the results of such clinical trial, and
15
containing an analysis of the clinical significance of such results, which reports shall be submitted to Cellegy as soon as is reasonably practicable after completion of the relevant clinical trial. Licensee agrees to provide such data and materials regarding any such studies or trials as Cellegy may reasonably request, and Cellegy may use such materials for its own business purposes in connection with obtaining or maintaining Approvals for the Licensed Product in other jurisdictions outside the Territory. Cellegy will use Commercially Reasonable and Diligent Efforts to provide the clinical supplies of the Licensed Product that Licensee may reasonably request, at Licensee’s expense at a purchase price to Licensee determined on a pass-through cost basis based on Cellegy’s manufacturing cost per unit. Cellegy may enter into one or more manufacturing and supply agreement(s) (or similar arrangements) with Third Party contract manufacturer(s) for such clinical supplies, and such agreements or arrangements shall provide for reasonable rights of access by Licensee’s quality representatives to inspect the premises of such manufacturer(s) relating to such pharmacovigilence and quality issues as Licensee reasonably considers appropriate.

The Manufacturer shall not change following Approval without Licensee’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, with Licensee being given no less than [*] notice of any such proposed change.
(b) During the term of this Agreement, Cellegy shall use Commercially Reasonable and Diligent Efforts to provide an adequate supply of raw materials to Manufacture in order to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement and supply the Licensed Product to Licensee in accordance with Licensee’s orders. Cellegy agrees to solicit and to allow Licensee’s input and advice on manufacturing issues that may arise from time to time in relation to the Licensed Product and will not take any intentional action with regard to the manufacturing of the Licensed Product that will disadvantage Licensee’s ability to Develop, use, promote, distribute or sell the Licensed Product in the Territory.
(c) Cellegy shall be solely responsible for conducting, or having conducted, at its own expense, all manufacturing activities relating to the Licensed Product. Licensee agrees that, until terminated by Licensee as set forth herein, Licensee will purchase from Cellegy (and will not make or have made) all units of the Licensed Product distributed in the Territory.
(d) If Cellegy is unable to supply any of the Licensed Product ordered by Licensee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for two consecutive requested deliveries, then Licensee may enter into direct arrangements with the Manufacturer for supply of the Licensed Product, until such time as Cellegy is able to resume supplying the Licensed Product.

[*] designates portions of this document that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed seperately with the Commission
the end of the following calendar year. Such forecast shall set forth the quantity of Licensed Product that Licensee intends to purchase in the current and the following calendar year.

Each such first quarter projection in the [*] forecast shall constitute a firm commitment order by Licensee for such quantities of Licensed Product.
(b) The forecasts are subject to review and revision as described in Section 11.3 below.
11.3 Product Packaging and Labeling.
(a) Licensee agrees to provide Cellegy (or, if Cellegy requests, Manufacturer) with all artwork and package design desired for the Licensed Product in the Territory, and Cellegy shall procure the Manufacturer’s agreement to pack and label the Licensed Product pursuant to Licensee’s standard export procedure.

Licensee agrees to provide a list of Net Sales prices on a country-by-country and unit basis within the Territory. When Licensee places an order, Cellegy’s invoice for such order shall reflect the Baseline Price. Licensee shall include sufficient information in the Sales Report regarding Licensed Product sales to enable Cellegy and Licensee to determine whether the amounts described in clause “(i)” of the first sentence of this subparagraph for sales in the various countries in the Territory of the Licensed Product purchased in such order were higher, or lower, than the Baseline Price. If such amount for such units of Licensed Product in such countries were higher than the Baseline Price, then Licensee shall deliver with the Sales Report the difference between such amount and the Baseline Price.

(b) At Licensee’s request, in the event an equivalent product containing nitroglycerin as the only active ingredient is launched in any country of the Territory that is in direct competition with the Licensed Product and is likely to have an adverse impact on the sales of the Licensed Product, the Parties shall meet to review the Baseline Price and the Minimum Sales.

(i) a decrease in any government subsidy for the Licensed Products; or

The Parties agree to provide such information as the other Party may reasonably request relating to requests made pursuant to this Section to change the price of the Licensed Product.
(e) Each Party will use reasonable commercial efforts to notify the other on reasonable notice of any circumstances, which may give rise to any change to the purchase price for Licensed Product and provide full details of the circumstances and the proposed new price.
(f) A change to the price of Licensed Product will be effective [*] or more, as agreed between the parties, after both parties have agreed in writing to such price change; provided, however, that if the new Price is higher than the then-current price, the then-current price will apply to any orders during such [*] period only for the quantity of Licensed Product that in the aggregate does not exceed the average monthly quantity of Licensed Product sold during the [*] preceding the month in which the parties agreed in writing to the new price, and the new price shall apply to any quantities ordered during such period that are in excess of such monthly average.
(g) Both Parties agree to work in mutual cooperation to manage the cost, production, packaging, delivery and availability of the Licensed Product for sale in the Territory.
(h) If the Parties mutually agree in writing to additional package size(s) or to replace the 30gm tube, then the Parties shall in good faith mutually agree on a pricing formula and purchase prices for such additional or different package size(s) similar to that established for the 30gm tube, utilizing assumptions similar to those underlying the pricing determinations set
25
forth above. If the Parties are unable to agree, then the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration as provided in this Agreement at Section 18.14.

Cellegy shall use Commercially Reasonable and Diligent Efforts to deliver the quantity of the Licensed Product ordered firm and properly according to this Agreement by Licensee as far as the ordered quantities comply with the respective forecast and provided that Cellegy did not reject the respective forecast within one month after receipt of the respective forecast. However, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, Cellegy shall not be bound to deliver quantities exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the respective forecast for the second quarter of each projection period, but shall use all Commercially Reasonable and Diligent Efforts to deliver in the required quantities. The Licensed Product required to be supplied by Cellegy during a particular month shall be shipped no later than the last day of that month and in accordance with a schedule agreed upon in writing between Licensee and Cellegy. In the event that Cellegy anticipates a forward supply issue and/or experiences a back order, Cellegy will promptly notify Licensee and provide written notice of the delay, projected time to remedy the issue and any impact the back order is expected to have on Cellegy’s ability to maintain adequate supply of the Licensed Product to meet demand in the Territory.
