WHEREAS, Xxxxx has entered into a worldwide exclusive license with respect to Olutasidenib (also known as REZLIDHIA® in the U.S.) under that certain License and Transition Services Agreement between Rigel and Forma Therapeutics, Inc. (now Novo Nordisk) dated July 27, 2022 (“Rigel-Forma Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Kissei is a pharmaceutical company possessing substantial resources and expertise in the development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual promises, covenants and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. | DEFINITIONS |
Unless specifically set forth to the contrary herein, the following terms, whether used in the singular or plural, shall have the respective meanings set forth below:
1

3
4
5
6
(a)trade, quantity and cash discounts, credits or allowances actually given;
(b)allowances for returns or rejections (due to spoilage, damage, expiration of useful life or otherwise);
(c)freight and insurance, if separately identified on the invoice;
7
(d)Third Party rebates, chargebacks, hospital buying group/group purchasing organization administration fees or managed care organization rebates actually given and other similar administrative fees, rebates and allowances granted to any non-related party, including to Governmental Authorities, purchasers, reimbursors, customers, distributors and wholesalers;(e)value-added tax, sales, use or turnover taxes, excise taxes and customs duties assessed by Governmental Authorities on the sale of the Product;
(f)retroactive price reductions or billing corrections.
In the case of any sale or other disposal for value, such as barter or counter-trade, of a Product, or part thereof, other than in an arm’s length transaction exclusively for cash, Net Sales shall be calculated as above on the value of the non-cash consideration received or the fair market price (if higher) of such Product in the country of sale or disposal, as determined in accordance with GAAP.
For clarity, named-patient sales shall be included in “Net Sales”.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be included in Net Sales: (i) sales between or among Kissei and its Related Parties (but Net Sales shall include sales to the first Third Party (other than a Sublicensee) by Kissei or its Related Parties); and (ii) samples of Product used to promote additional Net Sales, in amounts consistent with normal business practices of Kissei or its Related Parties where the Product is supplied without charge or at or below the actual manufacturing cost thereof (without allocation of indirect costs or any mark-up).
In the event that a Product is sold as a Combination Product, Net Sales, for the purposes of determining royalty payments on the Combination Product, means the aggregate gross invoiced sales prices from sales of all units of such Combination Product sold by a Party and its Related Parties to independent Third Parties in accordance with GAAP less the deductions set forth in clauses (a) – (f) above, multiplied by a proration factor that is determined as follows:
(A)If the Product and the other Active Ingredients in such Combination Product are both sold separately during the same or immediately preceding Calendar Quarter, then Net Sales for the Product shall be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination Product during such period by the fraction A/(A+B), where: “A” is the average gross invoiced sales price of the Product during such period when sold separately in the same formulation and dosage; and “B” is the average gross invoiced sales price of the Active Ingredients contained in the Combination Product during such period when sold separately in the same formulation and dosage.
(B)If the Product is sold separately during the same or immediately preceding Calendar Quarter in the same formulation and dosage as in the Combination Product, but the other Active Ingredients contained in the Combination Product are not sold separately during such period in the same formulation and dosage as in the Combination Product, then Net Sales for the Product shall be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination Product during such period by the fraction A/C, where “A” is the average gross invoiced sales price of the Product during such period when sold separately in the same formulation and dosage and “C” is the average gross invoiced sales price of the Combination Product during such period;
(C)If the Product is not sold separately during the same or immediately preceding Calendar Quarter in the same formulation and dosage as in the Combination Product, but the other Active Ingredients contained in the Combination Product are sold separately during such period in the same formulation and dosage as in the Combination Product, then Net Sales for the Product shall be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination Product by the result of 1 – (B/C), where “B” is the average gross invoiced sales price of the other Active Ingredients contained in the Combination Product during such period when sold separately in the same formulation and dosage and “C” is the average gross invoiced sales price of the Combination Product during such period; or
(D)If neither the Product nor the other Active Ingredients contained in the Combination Product were not sold separately during the same or immediately preceding Calendar Quarter, the proration factor shall be determined by the Parties in good faith negotiations based on the relative value contributed by each component.
