Momenta IP or Sandoz IP, respectively, hereunder; (b) if, on or before entering into such license with a Third Party Licensor, Momenta or Sandoz, respectively, determines that such intellectual property is reasonably necessary or reasonably useful for the conduct of the Collaborative Program, then, prior to entering into such license, Momenta or Sandoz, respectively, shall discuss the need for such license, and the terms thereof, with the other Party, reasonably consider such other Party’s input with respect thereto and obtain such other Party’s agreement on the terms of such license which impact or relate to the Collaborative Program (provided, that, unless such other Party objects to such terms within [**] Business Days after receipt of written notice of such terms, such terms are considered agreed upon by such other Party) (but no such agreement is required with respect to any other aspect of such license); provided, that final decision on any such license with a Third Party solely for the Glycoprotein Products shall reside with Sandoz, subject to Section 5.2 and Momenta’s rights not to comply with the restrictions and obligations in the license as described in clause (a) above.  If, after Momenta or Sandoz, respectively, enters into such license with a Third Party Licensor, Momenta or Sandoz, respectively, determines that such intellectual property is reasonably necessary or reasonably useful for the conduct of the Collaborative Program, the Parties shall discuss in good faith the fees, royalties and other payments with respect to such license (which payments shall be allocated between the Parties as described in this Agreement); provided, however, that if such license is also necessary or useful for other products of the licensing Party, the Parties shall discuss in good faith the appropriate allocation of responsibility to each Party for fees, royalties and other payments with respect to such license, based on the relative benefit to the Products.

 

2.6.          Bankruptcy.  All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to any Section of this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(35A) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  The Parties shall retain and may fully exercise all of their respective rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  Upon the bankruptcy of a Party, the non-bankrupt Party shall further be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property, and such, if not already in its possession, shall be promptly delivered to the non-bankrupt Party, unless the bankrupt Party elects to continue, and continues, to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement.

8.5.          Claimed Infringement.  In the event that a Party becomes aware that the development, manufacture, use, sale, offer to sell or importation of a Product infringes, or is likely to or is alleged to infringe, the Patent Rights or Know-How of any Third Party, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing, and, with respect to activities undertaken pursuant to this Agreement, the Parties shall cooperate and shall mutually agree, through the JOC, upon an appropriate course of action and shall act in accordance with such JOC-approved course of action; provided, however, that, to the extent that any action would involve the enforcement of a Party’s Patent Rights or the defense of an Invalidity Claim with respect to a Party’s Patent Rights, the general concepts of Section 8.4 shall apply to the enforcement of such Party’s Patent Rights or the defense of such Invalidity Claim (i.e., the Owning Party shall have the initial right, and the Non-Owning Party shall have a step-in right, to enforce or defend in the relevant Territory to the extent provided in Section 8.4.1, subject to any Prior Obligations of the Parties, other than Joint Collaboration IP, Collaboration Product-Specific Patent Rights and Glycoprotein Product-Related Patent Rights, for which decisions shall be made as provided in Sections 8.4.2, 8.4.2 and 8.4.3, respectively).  Each Party shall provide to the other Party copies of any notices it receives from Third Parties regarding any patent nullity actions, any declaratory judgment actions, or any alleged infringement or misappropriation of Momenta IP, Sandoz IP, Joint Collaboration IP or the Patent Rights or Know-How of any Third Party.  Such notices shall be provided promptly, but in no event later than [**] days following receipt thereof.

 

8.6.          Patent Invalidity Claim.  Subject to any Prior Obligations of the Parties, if a Third Party at any time asserts a claim that any Momenta IP, Sandoz IP or Joint Collaboration IP is invalid or otherwise unenforceable (an “Invalidity Claim”), whether as a defense in an infringement action brought by a Party pursuant to Section 8.4 or in an action brought against a Party under Section 8.5, the general concepts of Section 8.4 shall apply to such Invalidity Claim (i.e., the Owning Party shall have the initial right, and the Non-Owning Party shall have a step-in right, to defend such Invalidity Claim in the relevant Territory to the extent provided in Section 8.4.1, in the case of claims regarding the Owning Party’s IP (other than any Joint Collaboration IP, Collaboration Product-Specific Patent Rights and Glycoprotein Product-Related Patent Rights, which are provided for in Sections 8.4.2, 8.4.2 and 8.4.3, respectively), subject to any Prior Obligations of the Parties).  No Party shall settle or compromise any Invalidity Claim without obtaining the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, it being understood that the consent of a Third Party Licensor of a Party, or the relevant Sandoz Affiliate pursuant to the Existing US Lovenox Agreement, may also be required in order to settle or compromise such Invalidity Claim.

 

8.7.          Obligations to Licensors.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 8, the terms of this Article 8 are subject to and limited by the provisions of any applicable agreement with Third Party Licensors, including, as applicable, the MIT Agreement, and the limitations imposed by the Existing US Lovenox Agreement. Neither Party shall amend any such Third Party license agreement existing as of the Effective Date (including, without limitation, the MIT Agreement) in a manner that would be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, nor

8.8.          Patent Marking.  Sandoz shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and distributors, to (a) mark each Product that is manufactured, offered for sale, sold or imported under this Agreement with the number of each issued patent under Momenta IP, Sandoz IP or Joint Collaboration IP that applies to such Product and (b) comply with the patent marking statutes in each country in which such Product is manufactured by or on behalf of Sandoz or its Affiliates.

9.1.4.       The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Representing Party and the performance by such Party of its obligations hereunder, will not (a) violate the certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational document of such Party; (b) conflict in any material respect with or result in a material violation or breach of, or constitute a material default under, any material contract, agreement or instrument to which such Party is bound, or result in the creation or imposition of any material lien upon the Products; or (c) violate or conflict in any material respect with any material law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any court or governmental authority applicable to such Party or the Products;

10.2.        Confidential Information.  Each of Sandoz and Momenta (the “Receiving Party”) shall keep strictly confidential any Confidential Information disclosed by any other Party (the “Disclosing Party”), using at least the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential or proprietary information but in no event less than reasonable care.

 

10.3.        Nondisclosure of Confidential Information.  The Receiving Party shall use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information solely for the purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not disclose or disseminate any such Confidential Information to any Person at any time, except for disclosure to those of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, consultants, accountants, attorneys, advisers and agents that have a need to know such information to permit the Receiving Party to exercise its rights or fulfill its obligations pursuant to this Agreement, provided that such Persons are bound to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information to the same extent as if they were parties hereto.

 

10.4.        Exceptions.  The foregoing confidentiality and nondisclosure obligations are subject to the following exceptions:

 

10.4.1.     The Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that is required to be publicly disclosed by law, regulation or legal process (including, without limitation, the rules or regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or similar regulatory agency in a country other than the United States, or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange (including, without limitation, Nasdaq)); provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall (a) use Commercially Reasonable efforts to ensure that it discloses the minimum amount of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information necessary to comply with law, (b) where possible, seek confidential treatment for any such information which is disclosed to a governmental agency or group, and (c) provide the Disclosing Party with prior notice of such disclosure (to the extent permissible).

 

Confidential Portions of this Exhibit marked as [***] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

10.4.2.     Pursuant to an agreement or professional responsibility to maintain confidentiality, any Party may discuss the terms of this Agreement with, or provide a copy of this Agreement to, its independent public accountants or its attorneys.

 

10.4.3.     Pursuant to an agreement to maintain confidentiality, Momenta may provide a copy of this Agreement or relevant portions thereof, to MIT and any other Third Party Licensor, if and to the extent required pursuant to the relevant license agreement with respect to Momenta IP.

 

10.4.4.     Any other disclosure of the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any public announcements, press releases, discussions, interviews or similar publicity with respect to this Agreement) by Momenta or Sandoz must be approved in advance in writing by Sandoz or Momenta, respectively, as to form and content of such disclosure; provided, however, that the contents of any public announcement, press release or similar publicity which has been reviewed and approved by the reviewing Party can be re-released by either Party in any form without a requirement for re-approval.

 

10.5.        Identification.  In any disclosure by Sandoz permitted hereunder which refers to Momenta IP or the Joint Collaboration IP, Sandoz shall identify Momenta as the inventor, co-inventor, originator, owner, co-owner and/or licensee, as appropriate, of such Momenta IP or Joint Collaboration IP.  In any disclosure by Momenta permitted hereunder which refers to Sandoz IP or Joint Collaboration IP, Momenta shall identify Sandoz as the inventor, co-inventor, originator, owner, co-owner and/or licensee, as appropriate, of such Sandoz IP or Joint Collaboration IP.

 

10.6.        Equitable Relief.  The Receiving Party agrees that any breach of this Article 10 may cause the Disclosing Party substantial and irreparable injury and, therefore, in the event of any such breach, in addition to other remedies that may be available, the Disclosing Party shall have the right to specific performance and other injunctive and equitable relief.

 

10.7.        Survival.  The confidentiality and nondisclosure obligations of this Article 10 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and remain in effect for a period of ten (10) years following the expiration or termination of this Agreement.  For the sake of clarity, if any item of “Confidential Information” (as defined in the Existing US Lovenox Agreement) is also considered Confidential Information hereunder, then, to the extent that any provision of Article 10 of the Existing US Lovenox Agreement conflicts with any provision of Article 10 in this Agreement, then such provision in this Article 10 shall control and, for the sake of clarity, such Confidential Information shall be protected for the longer of ten (10) years following the expiration or termination of this Agreement or of the Existing US Lovenox Agreement.

 

11.                               TERM & TERMINATION

11.2.       Termination For Cause.

 

11.2.1.     Either Party may terminate this Agreement, in whole or, in its discretion, solely with respect to the relevant Product if the relevant breach relates to such Product, upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to the other Party upon any material breach of this Agreement by such other Party; provided that such termination shall become effective only if such other Party fails to cure such breach within [**] days after receiving such notice.  If Sandoz shall terminate a Glycoprotein Product pursuant to this Section 11.2.1, Sandoz may specify in the notice of termination that it chooses to retain the licenses granted to Sandoz under Article 2 with respect to the terminated Glycoprotein Product.

 

11.2.2.     To the extent permitted under applicable law, either Party may terminate this Agreement effective immediately with written notice if the other Party shall file for bankruptcy, shall be adjudicated bankrupt, shall file a petition under insolvency laws, shall be dissolved or shall have a receiver appointed for substantially all of its property.

 

11.3.        Need for Clinical Trials for Collaboration Products.  Each Party may terminate this Agreement with respect to the Collaboration Products, on a Product-by-Product and Region-by-Region basis, upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to the other Party provided to such other Party within sixty (60) days after (a) receipt of written correspondence from the applicable Regulatory Authority with respect to such Region specifying that such Product will not receive Marketing Approval in such Region without conducting clinical studies (other than bioequivalence studies) or (b) the reasonable determination by the JSC that clinical studies (other than bioequivalence studies) will be required in order for such Product to receive Marketing Approval in such Region; provided, however, that such Party may terminate this Agreement with respect to all Regions for the Copaxone-Referenced Product if the relevant Region for which such correspondence is received or for which the JSC makes such determination is the U.S. Territory.  If one Party provides notice to the other Party of a termination pursuant to this Section 11.3, the other Party shall have thirty (30) days thereafter to provide equivalent notice of termination for such reason to the first Party, in which case the Parties will be considered to have jointly terminated such Product with respect to the relevant Region(s).

 

11.4.        Sandoz Termination of Glycoprotein Products.  With respect to each Glycoprotein Product, Sandoz may terminate this Agreement with respect to such Glycoprotein Product:

 

11.4.1.     for convenience upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Momenta, which notice may be provided to Momenta no sooner than fifteen (15) months, and no later than (21) months, after the MOU Effective Date, so that such termination is effective between eighteen (18) and twenty-four (24) months after the MOU Effective Date;

 

11.4.2.     if, in the reasonable determination of the Parties, as documented in writing, the Momenta IP does not and will not materially contribute to the achievement of

Marketing Approval or Full-Substitutability for such Glycoprotein Product in the relevant Territory; provided, however, that once any Momenta IP is used in a regulatory filing for such Glycoprotein Product that has been filed by Sandoz, its Affiliates or sublicensees with a Regulatory Authority in the relevant Territory, the termination right pursuant to this Section 11.4.2 shall automatically expire;

 

11.4.3.     upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Momenta if the Regulatory Authority for the relevant Territory states in writing that the Momenta IP did not contribute to the Marketing Approval of such Glycoprotein Product;

 

11.4.4.     on ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Momenta upon Sandoz’s decision to permanently cease development and commercialization of such Glycoprotein Product and of the relevant Related Products; or

 

11.4.5.     on ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Momenta if, following a Change in Control of Momenta, there occurs the continuous neglect by Momenta of its material obligations under the Annual Collaboration Plan with respect to such Glycoprotein Product which has a material adverse effect on the development and/or commercialization of such Glycoprotein Product.  If Sandoz shall terminate a Glycoprotein Product pursuant to this Section 11.4.5, Sandoz may specify in the notice of termination that it chooses to retain the licenses granted to Sandoz under Article 2 with respect to the terminated Glycoprotein Product.

 

11.5.        Momenta Termination of Glycoprotein Products.  With respect to each Glycoprotein Product, Momenta may terminate this Agreement with respect to such Glycoprotein Product on ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Sandoz if, following a Change in Control of Sandoz, there occurs the continuous neglect by Sandoz of its material obligations under the Annual Collaboration Plan with respect to such Glycoprotein Product which has a material adverse effect on the development and/or commercialization of such Glycoprotein Product.  If Momenta shall terminate a Glycoprotein Product pursuant to this Section 11.5, Momenta may specify in the notice of termination that it chooses to retain the licenses granted to Momenta under Article 2 with respect to the terminated Glycoprotein Product.

 

11.6.        Interpretation.  In the event that this Agreement has been terminated with respect to all Products, this Agreement shall terminate in its entirety (subject to Sections 11.7 and 11.8).  For the sake of clarity, in the event that this Agreement is terminated in its entirety, all Products shall be considered terminated Products for purposes of Section 11.7.

 

11.7.       Effects of Termination.

 

11.7.1.     With respect to the Collaboration Products, if this Agreement is terminated (in its entirety or with respect to a Collaboration Product, as applicable), except as provided in Section 11.7.2,

 

11.7.1.a.  all licenses granted by Momenta to Sandoz with respect to such terminated Product(s) (limited to the relevant Region, with respect to a termination pursuant to Section 11.3 for the Copaxone-Referenced Product in less than all Regions) shall terminate;

the obligations of Sandoz to indemnify the Momenta Indemnified Parties under Section 12.1 (subject to Sections 12.3, 12.4 and, if applicable, Section 12.5) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement with respect to any Liabilities that result from activities that occur after the Term pursuant to Section 11.7.2 or 11.7.3, and (iv) otherwise there shall be no continuing obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Indemnified Party after the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement; and (c) each Party shall promptly return to the other Party all materials and records in its possession or control containing Confidential Information of such other Party, except to the extent necessary to exercise rights under the licenses retained pursuant to Section 11.7.1(b), 11.7.2(b), 11.7.3(b) or 11.7.4(b), as applicable.

12.                               INDEMNIFICATION

 

12.1.        Sandoz Indemnification of Momenta.  Sandoz shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Momenta Indemnified Parties from and against all losses, costs, damages, judgments, settlements, interest, fees or expenses (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees, experts’ or consultants’ fees, expenses and costs) (“Liabilities”) awarded to a Third Party against any Momenta Indemnified Party, or that may be incurred or paid by any Momenta Indemnified Party in the defense or compromise of legal or equitable claims asserted by a Third Party, arising out of or resulting from (a) any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement by Sandoz hereunder, (b) any misrepresentation by Sandoz hereunder (including but not limited to any such breach by Sandoz of Article 9 – Warranties), (c) any Patent Litigation, (d) any property damage or personal injury (including, without limitation, death) resulting from the development, use, manufacture, sale, offering for sale or importation of a Product by Sandoz, its Affiliates or their Third Party contractors or distributors or other actual or alleged product liability with respect to such Product, or (e) any claims or demands related to a Product that are commenced by the relevant Innovator or any Third Party against any Momenta Indemnified Party based on the activities of Momenta or Sandoz (including those undertaken by Affiliates or Third Parties on behalf of Momenta or Sandoz) prior to the Effective Date or pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that Sandoz shall have no obligation to indemnify the Momenta Indemnified Parties against Liabilities under (a) through (e) to the extent that such Liabilities arise from any Third Party legal or equitable claim that is subject to Momenta’s obligation to indemnify, defend, and hold Sandoz Indemnified Parties harmless under Section 12.2.

or (c) any Final Misappropriation Determination with respect to a claim of misappropriation by any Momenta Indemnified Party of any Third Party trade secret or know-how.

 

12.3.        Final Misappropriation Determination.  “Final Misappropriation Determination” means, with respect to a Party, actual misappropriation by such Party or its related Indemnified Parties of any Third Party trade secret or know-how; provided that, (a) there has been a final adjudication of liability for misappropriation by a court of competent jurisdiction, or, (b) with respect to misappropriation that has been alleged but not finally adjudicated, there is a settlement with a Third Party which the Parties determine by mutual agreement constitutes an acknowledgement by such Party of actual misappropriation.  If there is a dispute between the Parties as to whether a settlement constitutes such an acknowledgement, nationally-recognized outside counsel not regularly employed by any Party or their Affiliates who is mutually acceptable to the Parties shall be retained to resolve such dispute.  In the event that a Party has, pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.1 or 12.2, incurred Liabilities with respect to an actual or alleged misappropriation by any Indemnified Party related to the other Party of any Third Party trade secret or know-how and a Final Misappropriation Determination occurs, such other Party shall, in addition to indemnifying the Indemnified Parties of such other Party for such Liabilities incurred by them pursuant to Section 12.1 or 12.2(c), as applicable, reimburse such Party for any Liabilities which such Party previously paid to or incurred on behalf of any of the misappropriating Party’s Indemnified Parties that are allocable to the misappropriation claim that gave rise to the Final Misappropriation Determination.

 

12.4.        Procedure.  If any Momenta Indemnified Party or any Sandoz Indemnified Party (in each case, an “Indemnified Party”) receives any written claim or demand which such Indemnified Party believes is the subject of indemnity hereunder by Sandoz or Momenta as the case may be (in each case, an “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after forming such belief, give notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided that the failure to give timely notice to the Indemnifying Party as contemplated hereby shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any liability to the Indemnified Party unless the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such claim is materially prejudiced by such failure.  The Indemnifying Party shall assume and diligently pursue the defense of such claim, at its cost, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnifying Party shall have absolute control of the conduct of the litigation; provided, however, that

 

12.4.1.     the Indemnified Party may, nevertheless, participate therein through counsel of its choice and at its cost, and shall be permitted to effectively associate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense, the prosecution and the negotiation of any settlement of the claim or demand;

 

12.4.2.     the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party informed, through the JSC, of the status of the litigation;

 

12.4.3.     the Indemnifying Party shall provide the Indemnified Party with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on all pleadings, motions and other papers exchanged with the opposing party or filed with any court by the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim or demand (collectively, the “Pleadings”) and the

66



 

Indemnifying Party shall consider in good faith any input provided by the Indemnified Party with respect to the Pleadings; and

 

12.4.4.     if the suit includes a defense of Momenta IP or the Joint Collaboration IP or an Invalidity Claim with respect to Momenta IP or the Joint Collaboration IP (in the event Momenta is the Indemnified Party), then the Indemnifying Party’s conduct of the litigation with respect to such claim(s) shall be subject to:

 

12.4.4.a.      the approval of Momenta (solely in relation to Momenta IP or Joint Collaboration IP); and/or

 

12.4.4.b.     any contractual obligations as of the Effective Date (or thereafter if otherwise agreed by the Parties) to, or restrictions existing as of the Effective Date (or thereafter if otherwise agreed by the Parties) imposed by, the relevant Third Party Licensor or the Existing US Lovenox Agreement.

 

The Party not assuming the defense of any such claim or demand shall render all reasonable assistance to the Party assuming such defense as requested by such defending Party, and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such assistance shall be for the account of the Indemnifying Party.  No such claim or demand shall be settled other than by the Party defending the same, and then only with the consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that the Indemnified Party shall have no obligation to consent to any settlement of any such claim which imposes on the Indemnified Party any liability or obligation which cannot be assumed and performed in full by the Indemnifying Party or which agrees that any element of any of Momenta IP or Joint Collaboration IP (in the event Momenta is the Indemnified Party) is invalid, not infringed or unenforceable.  The Indemnified Parties shall be third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

 

12.5.        Sharing of Legal Expenses.

 

12.5.1.     Except with respect to a Final Misappropriation Determination, for which the provisions of Section 12.3 shall apply, Momenta shall reimburse Sandoz, via offset from Profit Interest payments due to Momenta pursuant to Section 4.3 with respect to the relevant Collaboration Product, the Momenta Profit Percentage of all Legal Expenses incurred by Sandoz with respect to such Collaboration Product (whether or not a claim was made against Momenta or named Momenta with respect to such Legal Expenses) (other than any Sandoz FTE Costs); provided, however, that if such Collaboration Product is no longer being marketed, then [**] percent ([**]%) of Momenta’s remaining share of such Legal Expenses may be offset against the Profit payments due to Momenta for the other Collaboration Product.

 

12.5.2.     Under no circumstances shall the Profit Interest payable to Momenta, as a result of this Section 12.5, in any Quarter be reduced to less than [**] percent ([**]%) of the Profit Interest amount otherwise payable to Momenta in such Quarter under this Agreement.  Sandoz may offset any portion of the Legal Expenses not deductible from

67



 

the Profit Interest payable to Momenta as a result of such limitation against future Profit Interests due to Momenta with respect to such Product (or the other Collaboration Product, to the extent such offset is permitted by the proviso in Section 12.5.1).

 

12.6.        Insurance.  Sandoz shall be self-insured.  To the extent Momenta is required to obtain the consent or waiver of MIT under the MIT Agreement to permit such self-insurance by Sandoz, Momenta shall use its best efforts to obtain such waiver or consent.  Momenta shall comply with the insurance obligations imposed on Momenta pursuant to the MIT Agreement.

 

13.                               DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

13.1.        First Level Resolution.  Unless otherwise expressly provided for herein, any claim or controversy between Momenta and Sandoz arising out of or relating to the execution, interpretation and performance of this Agreement (including the validity, scope and enforceability of this provision) will be identified in writing and presented to the JSC.  The JSC shall meet within [**] days after delivery of the notice of dispute pursuant to this Section 13.1 and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute.  If the JSC is unable to decide or resolve such dispute, a notice of dispute shall be submitted to the relevant Executive Officers of the Parties for resolution by good-faith negotiations pursuant to Section 13.2.

 

13.2.        Negotiation Between Executives.  Within [**] days after delivery of the notice of dispute pursuant to Section 13.1, the Executive Officers shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith.  All reasonable requests for information made by one Party to another will be honored.  All negotiations pursuant to this clause are confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence.  If such Executive Officers cannot resolve such dispute within [**] days after their initial meeting pursuant to this Section 13.2, then each Party reserves its right to pursue any and all remedies available under law or equity with respect to such dispute.

 

13.3.        Legal Remedies.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 13, either Party may seek immediate injunctive or other interim relief from any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to enforce and prevent infringement or misappropriation of the patent rights, copyright rights, trademarks, confidential information, trade secrets, or other intellectual property rights owned or controlled by a Party or its Affiliates or to prevent breach of Article 10.

 

14.                               ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

Agreement dated [**] to the Prior Confidentiality Agreement shall refer instead to the confidentiality provisions of Article 10 of this Agreement.  The Parties also expressly agree and acknowledge that the Equity Agreements and the Existing US Lovenox Agreement shall not be superseded by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Parties agree that the Existing US Lovenox Agreement is amended to substitute the definition of “Confidential Information” in Section 1.21 hereof for the definition of “Confidential Information” in Section 1.18 of the Existing US Lovenox Agreement.  Neither Party shall be liable or bound to any other Party in any manner by any representations, warranties or covenants relating to such subject matter except as specifically set forth herein.

 

14.2.        Amendments and Waiver.  This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties.  By an instrument in writing either Party may waive compliance by the other Party with any term or provision of this Agreement that such other Party was or is obligated to comply with or perform.  Any failure of a Party to enforce at any time, or for any period of time, any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of such provisions or a waiver of any right of such Party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision on any succeeding occasion or breach thereof.

 

14.3.        Assignment.  This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder shall be assignable only:  (a) except as provided under Section 14.3(c)(i)(B), by a Party to an Affiliate of that Party, without the consent of the other Party, provided that in such case, the assigning Party remains liable with the assignee for all of its obligations hereunder; (b) by a Party with the written consent of the other Party; or (c) by a Party without the consent of the other Party to (i) the purchaser (which, immediately prior to such transaction, is a Third Party) of (A) all or substantially all of the assets of the assigning Party’s business to which this Agreement relates, or (B) a majority of the voting equity securities of the assigning Party who thereby becomes an Affiliate of such Party (provided that in such case, the assigning Party remains liable with the assignee for all of its obligations hereunder); or (ii) the surviving Person, in the event of a merger of the assigning Party and another Person, and any such purchaser or successor shall be bound by the terms hereof.  Any attempted assignment that does not comply with the terms of this Section 14.3 shall be void.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties, their successors (including any successor resulting from a change of control of such Party) and permitted assigns.  Each Party agrees that, notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that this Agreement is assigned by either Party as provided in the foregoing clause (c) or a transaction described in clause (c) occurs with respect to a Party, such assignment or transaction shall not provide the other Party with rights or access to intellectual property rights of the acquirer of such Party which were not already Patent Rights or Know-How Controlled by such Party prior to such assignment or transaction.

 

14.4.        Nature of Relationship.  In making and performing this Agreement, the Parties are acting, and intend to be treated, as independent entities and nothing contained herein shall be deemed or implied to create an agency, distributorship, joint venture or partnership relationship among the Parties.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Party may make any representation, warranty or commitment, whether express or implied, on behalf of or incur any charges or expenses for, or in the name of, the other Party.  Except as provided in Article 12, no

SCHEDULE 1.89
NET SALES

 

Net Sales Concepts

 

The Novartis Group’s principal accounting policies are set out in note 1 of the Group’s consolidated financial statements and conform to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).  Significant judgments and estimates are used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements which, to the extent that actual outcomes and results may differ from these assumptions and estimates, could affect the accounting in the areas described in this section.

 

REVENUE

 

Revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss for the products are transferred to the customer. Provisions for rebates and discounts granted to government agencies, wholesalers, managed care and other customers are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time the related revenues are recorded or when the incentives are offered. They are calculated on the basis of historical experience and the specific terms in the individual agreements. Cash discounts are offered to customers to encourage prompt payment. They are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of invoicing. Wholesaler shelf-inventory adjustments are granted to customers based on the existing inventory of a product at the time of decreases in the invoice or contract price of a product or at the point of sale if a price decline is reasonably estimable.  Where there is a historical experience of Novartis agreeing to customer returns, Novartis records a provision for estimated sales returns by applying historical experience of customer returns to the amounts invoiced and the amount of returned products to be destroyed versus products that can be placed back in inventory for resale.

 

Optional

 

DEDUCTIONS FROM REVENUES: As is typical in the pharmaceutical industry, Novartis’ gross sales are subject to various deductions, primarily comprised of rebates and discounts to retail customers, government agencies, wholesalers and managed health care organizations. These deductions represent estimates of the related obligations, requiring the use of judgment when estimating the impact of these sales deductions on gross sales for a reporting period. These adjustments are reported as a reduction of Gross Sales to arrive at Net Sales.

 

The following briefly describes the nature of each deduction and how the deduction is estimated. The US market has the most complex arrangements related to revenue deductions. However, in a number of countries outside the U.S., including major European countries, Novartis provides rebates to government entities. These rebates are often legislatively mandated. Specific references are made to the US market, and where applicable, to [**]:

 

·                  The US Medicaid program is a state government-administered program that uses state and federal funds to provide assistance to certain vulnerable and needy individuals and families. In 1990, the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program was established to reduce state and federal expenditures for prescription drugs. Under the rebate program, [**]. Provisions for estimating  Medicaid rebates are calculated using a combination of historical experience,

product and population growth, price increases, the impact of contracting strategies and specific terms in the individual state agreements. These provisions are adjusted based upon established processes for refiling data with individual states. For Medicaid, the calculation of rebates involves interpretation of relevant regulations, which are subject to challenge or change in interpretative guidance by government authorities. Since Medicaid rebates are typically billed up to six months after the products are dispensed to patients, any rebate adjustments may involve revisions of provisions for several periods.

 

·                  [**]. These savings vary based on a patient’s current drug coverage and personal income levels. Provisions for the subsidiaries’ obligations under these programs are based on historical experience, trend analysis and current program terms.  On January 1, 2006, an additional prescription drug benefit will be added to the US Medicare program. Individuals that have dual Medicaid/Medicare drug benefit eligibility will have their Medicaid prescription drug coverage replaced on January 1, 2006 by the new Medicare Part D coverage, provided through private prescription drug plans. The change will lead to a significant shift of plan participants between programs in which the subsidiaries participate. The [**].

 

·                  Wholesaler chargebacks relate to [**]. A wholesaler chargeback represents the difference between the invoice price to the wholesaler and the indirect customer’s contract discount price. Provisions for estimating chargebacks are calculated using a combination of factors such as historical experience, product growth rates and the specific terms in each agreement. The subsidiaries account for wholesaler’s chargebacks by reducing accounts receivable.  Wholesaler chargebacks are generally settled within three months of incurring the liability.

 

·                  Customer rebates are offered to key managed health care plans, group purchasing organizations and other direct and indirect customers to [**]. These rebate programs provide that the customer receive a rebate after attaining certain performance parameters relating to product purchases, formulary status and/or pre-established market share milestones relative to competitors. Since rebates are contractually agreed upon, rebates are estimated based on the specific terms in each agreement, historical experience and product growth rates. [**].

 

·                  In order to evaluate adequacy of ending provision balances, [**]. Management internally estimates the inventory level in the retail channel and in transit.

 

·                  Where a product with right of customer returns is sold, [**]. Other factors are also considered, such as product recalls and, in the case of [**]. In the US, historical rates of return are utilized and are adjusted for known or expected changes in the marketplace when appropriate. Sales returns amount to approximately [**]% of gross product sales.

 

·                  The policy of [**]. Based on this information, the inventories on hand at wholesalers and other distribution channels in the US are estimated to be approximately one month at December 31, 2005.  Novartis believes the third party data sources of information are sufficiently reliable, however its accuracy cannot be verified.

 

·                  At the end of 2005, [**].

·                  Cash discounts are offered to customers in the US and certain other countries to encourage prompt payment. Cash discounts, which are typically [**]% of gross sales in the US, are accrued at the time of invoicing.

 

·                  Shelf-stock adjustments are generally granted to customers based on the existing inventory of a customer following decreases in the invoice or contract price of the related product. Provisions for [**], are determined at the time of the [**] or at the [**].

 

·                  Other sales discounts, such as consumer coupons and discount cards, are also offered. These discounts are recorded at the time of sales or when the coupon is issued and estimated utilizing historical experience and the specific terms for each program.

 

·                  Discounts, rebates or other deductions shown on the invoice are generally recorded directly as a reduction in the gross to net sales value and do not pass through the provision account.
