In the event that: (a) a Marketed Product is excluded from reimbursement from a Federal health care program of the United States or a Governmental Authority prohibits the sale of a Marketed Product within its labeling, in each case caused by the failure of Ucyclyd or one of its Affiliates to comply with **** applicable Legal Requirement (and not as a result of an act or omission by Hyperion, its Affiliates or their respective employees, contractors, agents, representatives or sublicensees); and (b) Hyperion: (i) had previously achieved its Sales Forecast for at least **** prior to such prohibition; or (ii) demonstrates to Ucyclyd’s reasonable satisfaction that any decrease in unit sales of the Marketed Products is directly attributable to such exclusion or prohibition; then for the duration of such exclusion or prohibition and until the earlier of: (x) the reinstatement of the Marketed Product in the applicable Federal health care program, or the termination of the prohibition, as the case may be; and (y) the expiration or termination of the Development Term, Ucyclyd will pay Hyperion an amount equal to **** . Such Commission will be paid in accordance with the payment terms set forth in Section 4 (Promotion Commission) of Schedule 7 (Payment Obligations) . In the event that the duration of the exclusion or prohibition is less than a full Commission Period, any payment due by Ucyclyd to Hyperion will be prorated for such partial Commission Period. Hyperion acknowledges and agrees that payment of the Commission as set forth in this Section shall be Hyperion’s sole and exclusive remedy and the sole and exclusive liability of Ucyclyd and its Affiliates to Hyperion for any failure of Ucyclyd or one of its Affiliates to comply with the CIA or applicable Legal Requirements with respect to Marketed Products. In the event that Ucyclyd grants rights to Hyperion as set forth in Section 2.1.5 (Expansion of Promotion Territory) , the calculation of payments hereunder shall apply only to the United States but excluding its territories and possessions such as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

Development Plan contemplates that GT4P in UCD and HE and Ammonul HE for the treatment of HE shall be developed concurrently and that FDA approval of **** for the treatment of **** may occur prior to **** in **** . Accordingly, as long as Hyperion has complied with its obligations under Section 2.2 (Research and Development during the Development Term) with respect to obtaining Regulatory Approval for **** in **** in the United States and has performed development for **** in accordance with the Development Plan, then such Regulatory Approval of **** shall not be considered a breach of the prioritization of efforts specified in this Section 2.2.1 (R&D Rights with Respect to Development Products) .

                (a)  On and following the Effective Date, Hyperion shall be solely responsible for the Development and Regulatory Program except that Ucyclyd shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete the activities described in Schedule 2.2. 6(a) (Close-Out Activities) (“ Close-Out Activities ”).

To the extent that the applicable Third Party does not consent to an assignment and Hyperion desires to continue such work, the Parties shall cooperate to pursue alternatives pursuant to which the work will be continued, it being the intent of the Parties that Hyperion (and not Ucyclyd) shall be responsible for continuing all such work.
                (c)  Hyperion acknowledges and agrees that, as of the Effective Date, Ucyclyd has not completed negotiation of the agreements set forth on Schedule 2.2. 6(c) (Pending R&D Agreements) .
