(a)                                  to Third Parties approved by Cellegy in writing, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld and delayed; and

Any such sublicense shall not relieve Licensee of any of its obligations hereunder, and Licensee shall remain responsible and liable for compliance by any such Third Party, Affiliate or Sublicensee with this Agreement, all relevant laws, regulations and requirements relating to the importation, distribution, marketing, promotion and sale of the Licensed Product in the Territory, and any acts or omissions by any such Third Party, Affiliate or Sublicensee that would constitute a breach of this Agreement if such sublicense had not been entered into and the actions or omissions were those of Licensee rather than the Third Party, Affiliate or Sublicensee.  Any sublicense agreement shall contain terms and conditions that are not inconsistent with those of this Agreement.

 

2.3                                 Acceptance of Appointment; Sales Outside Territory.

Territory.  Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee agrees to use all Commercially Reasonable and Diligent Efforts to ensure compliance with the preceding sentence, including without limitation placing appropriate notices on the labels or Licensed Products; provided, however, that Licensee shall not be obligated to include any notices in a particular country in the Territory that would conflict with any relevant requirements of the Relevant Regulatory Authority for such country, and Licensee’s failure or refusal to include any such notices in such circumstances shall not constitute a breach of any provision of this Agreement.

 

2.4                                 Competing Products.  During the term of this Agreement, or, if earlier, the maximum period of time permitted by applicable European Union regulations, Licensee shall not, and shall use all Commercially Reasonable and Diligent Efforts to ensure that its officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, Sublicensees, agents or representatives (collectively, “Agents”) shall not, directly or indirectly, promote, sell or distribute products within the Territory that are directly competitive in the treatment of anal fissures or hemorrhoids or such other indications for the Licensed Product as may be added to this Agreement (the “Competing Licensed Products”).

7



 

agreement regarding such a license for one (1) such Licensed Product.  In addition, the right of first negotiation will also include a one time right on the part of Cellegy to be granted a license to one Licensee Product if, within thirty (30) days after Licensee delivers to Cellegy a notice containing all significant terms of the offer, Cellegy notifies Licensee that it is willing to match in all material respects (i) the financial terms (including financially in terms of upfront, milestone and royalty payments, and (ii) the key obligations and timelines (including regulatory, development and commercial) contained in any bona fide offer that Licensee has received for the Licensed Product from a Third Party.

(c)                                  Licensee currently is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws and has received, or will receive where relevant, all applicable pharmaceutical product certifications and registrations from appropriate governmental entities that are necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement.  Licensee agrees that during the term of this Agreement it will comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the export, sale and distribution of the Licensed Product in the Territory.

(a)                                  Upon execution of this Agreement, Cellegy and Licensee shall establish a Steering Committee (the “Steering Committee”) which shall have the responsibilities described in this Article 4.  The Steering Committee shall be initially comprised of a total of six (6) members, of which three (3) members shall be appointed by Licensee and three (3) members shall be appointed by Cellegy.  The total number of Steering Committee members may be changed by the Steering Committee from time to time as appropriate, but in all cases it will be comprised of an equal number of members designated by each of Cellegy and Licensee, and in no event shall the Steering Committee be comprised of an aggregate of less than six (6) members.  Each of Cellegy and Licensee may substitute its representatives from time to time and the substitution shall be effective upon notice to the other Party.  The Steering Committee shall meet once every quarter during the first year of the term of this Agreement and thereafter at such other times as the Steering Committee may agree (but at least one time each year), on such dates and at such places as to be agreed upon between the Parties.  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 PlanThe 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



 


[*] designates portions of this document that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed seperately with the Commission

 

 

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.

 

5.4                                 Copies of Documents.  Each Party agrees to provide to the other Party a copy of (i) any documents or reports relating to the Licensed Product that are filed with any Relevant Regulatory Authority in the Territory under this Agreement, including any Approval applications; and (ii) all data, database information and safety reports from clinical trials conducted by or on behalf of Licensee.  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.

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 AuthoritiesLicensee 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.

(a)                                  provide Licensee with a complete copy of the Cellegy Information as well as copies of clinical data, analysis and reports of Cellegy or its other licensees of the Licensed Product in other countries (to the extent in Cellegy’s possession and that Cellegy is permitted to provide such information under the terms of its agreements with such licensees, with Cellegy agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts after the date of this Agreement to include provisions in agreements with other licensees of the Licensed Product to permit the sharing of such data, analysis and reports from licensees);

(d)                                 use Commercially Reasonable and Diligent Efforts to assist Licensee and to procure the assistance of any third party supplier of raw materials to Cellegy, in meeting the demands of the Relevant Regulatory Authority relating to any application and any grant, maintenance, variation or renewal of Approvals;

 

(e)                                  deliver to Licensee the Technical Agreement that Cellegy has entered into with the Manufacturer; and

(iii) Cellegy’s material breach of any relevant obligation under this Agreement; (iv) health or safety reasons relating to the Licensed Product; or (v) the assertion of a proceeding or lawsuit brought against Licensee by any Third Party that the Intellectual Property Rights infringe such Third Party’s patent, trade mark, protected know-how or other intellectual property right that prevents sales of the Licensed Product in a particular country of the Territory, then Cellegy may, upon notice to Licensee, terminate all of Licensee’s rights under this Agreement with respect to the Licensed Product in such country and recapture all rights granted to Licensee with respect to the Licensed Product in such country hereunder.  In the event that rights to the Licensed Product are returned to Cellegy due to a failure to launch within a particular country within the time frames specified above, a minimum payment of the Baseline Price multiplied by the number of units of the Licensed Product equivalent to [*] (based on [*] will be due with respect to the Major European Countries, and a minimum payment of [*] will be due in any other country in the Territory.

(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.

 

(c)                                   At Licensee’s request, the Baseline Price and Minimum Sales will be subject to review by Cellegy in the event of material fluctuations in currency exchange rates that become a significant obstacle to the ongoing commercialization of the Licensed Product within one or more countries in the Territory.

 

(d)                                 The Parties may, by mutual agreement, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, change the price of the Licensed Product to reflect:

(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

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.
