NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby

1. OBLIGATIONS OF THE OBAGI ENTITIES.
(a)
Marketing
Obligations . During the Term (as defined
in Section 10) of this Agreement, Obagi Inc. and/or the Marketer
shall actively and diligently use its commercially reasonable
efforts to promote the Program and Services, as defined in

Inc. and/or the Marketer agrees during the Term hereof to provide
oversight and management of the 2063 square foot marketing space
(the “ Space ”) located at 260-290 North Canon
Drive, Beverly Hills, California (the “ Premises
”), to perform the Services and to provide maximum exposure
for the OMP Products. Obagi Inc. and/or Marketer also agrees to
perform Services and to market the products sold as part of the
Program throughout the Term hereof. In the performance of all of
its obligations hereunder, Obagi Inc. and/or the Marketer agrees to
ensure that the Space and all Services provided by Obagi Inc.
and/or the Marketer will at all times comply with any and all
applicable laws and regulations promulgated by any federal, state,
municipal or other level of government from time to time,
including, without limitation, laws and regulations regarding

OMP’s sole discretion, are necessary or desirable to provide
for and implement the Program.
(b)
Payment
Terms . Obagi Inc. and/or the
Marketer agrees that if any amount due to OMP for the purchase of
OMP products remains unpaid 30 days after the earlier of (i) the
date of any invoice or (ii) any notice of the breach of the terms
hereof contemplated by Section 11(a)(1) hereof, then OMP may, in
addition to any other remedies it may have, offset any and all sums
owed by Obagi Inc. and/or the Marketer thereunder against any and
all payment obligations
2
OMP may have to Obagi Inc.
and/or the Marketer, including, but not limited to, all obligations
owing under Section 2 of this Agreement. Both Parties acknowledge,
however, that any amounts so offset shall not constitute an accord
or satisfaction and OMP shall be entitled to all remedies to
recover payment for any additional amounts owed by Obagi Inc.
and/or the Marketer under this Agreement.
(c)
Services to be
Rendered . In addition to the services
to be provided in Exhibit
B , Obagi
Inc. shall render the following marketing and other services to OMP
as an independent contractor (the “ Obagi Inc.
Services ”) on a retainer and/or fee basis as defined
herein. Additional services beyond the retainer or fees shall be
billed and reimbursed as mutually agreed to between Obagi Inc. and
OMP in writing, in advance. The services that Obagi Inc. initially
agrees to provide shall include, but not be limited
to:(1)
(1)
The services
provided under the Retainer and ProDerm Development/Royalty Fee
provisions of this Agreement are as follows:
a)
Obagi Inc. agrees
to be available, and shall provide upon request, a minimum of 10
hours per week in advising and assisting OMP in the formulation and
clinical testing of new products. As part of the new product
development services, OMP and Obagi Inc. agree to the
following:
i.
That prior to the development of any
new products by either OMP or Obagi Inc., both Parties will consult
with each other and, pursuant to the procedures described in this
Section 1(c)(1), shall determine whether OMP (the “Group A
Products”), Obagi Inc. (the “Group B Products”)
or neither (the “Group C Products”) will develop such
product. All potential new products shall be deemed to be Group C
Products until it is determined that such product is either a Group
A Product or a Group B Product. Exhibit D attached hereto
provides a list of all Group A Products, Group B Products and Group
C Products as of the execution date of this Agreement.
ii. In order for a potential new product or a Group
C Product to be designated as a Group A or Group B Product, either
Party shall present to the other Party a detailed development
timeline (the “Development Timeline”) setting forth the
new product’s active ingredients, anticipated efficacy, and
cosmetic use in relation to other existing OMP Products.
(“System Concept”)
iii. Within thirty (30) calendar days after the
submission of the Development Timeline, OMP shall have the option
to designate such product a Group A Product. For all Group A
Products, Obagi Inc. shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to work with OMP and/or such third parties as OMP may from time to
time designate, in OMP’s
(1) It being understood that at the beginning of
each year the Parties will meet to discuss and agree in writing as
to whether any changes, both additions and subtractions, need to be
made to the list of additional services set forth in Section
1(c).
3
sole discretion, to develop and
evaluate products that are clinically superior to existing
commercially available products. OMP agrees to fully fund the
development of such products and the determination as to the
clinical superiority of said developed products. All Group A
Products shall be subject to the terms of the Intellectual Property
License-Ownership provisions discussed below in Section 3. In the
event that OMP’s Development Timeline is not met and no
extensions have been granted, or OMP abandons a Group A Product, it
shall give notification to Obagi Inc., and Obagi Inc. may, but is
not required to, designate such product as a Group B Product
pursuant to the procedures described in subparagraph (iv)
below.
iv. Upon Obagi Inc.’s submission of a new
Group B Product Development Timeline, if OMP makes a determination
that it does not desire to designate such product as a Group A
Product, then it shall be required to provide Obagi Inc. with
written notification of such determination. OMP shall have thirty
(30) calendar days from the submission of the Development Timeline
to make a determination of whether to fund the development or have
Obagi Inc. fund and pursue the development of said Group B product.
For all Group B Products (which do not compete with OMP current
products at the time of such designation), Obagi Inc. may pursue
the development and clinical evaluation. All Group B Products shall
be subject to the terms of the Intellectual Property
License-Ownership provisions discussed below in Section 3. All
development costs and/or intellectual property costs associated
with the Group B Products shall be the sole and exclusive
responsibility of Obagi Inc. In the event that Obagi Inc.’s
Development Timeline is not met and no extensions have been
granted, or Obagi Inc. abandons a Group B Product, such product
shall be designated as a Group C Product upon the expiration of the
Development Timeline.
v. In the event that the Development Timeline for
a particular product is not met, an extension of time, if
requested, shall be mutually agreed upon as long as the Party in
charge of product development (either OMP or Obagi Inc.) is using
commercially reasonable efforts to continue development.
vi. The Parties shall only pursue the commercial
development and manufacture of products which have been
demonstrated to be safe for their intended use. Clinical testing is
not required on those products where efficacy claims are not made,
needed or appropriate for that type of product. Clinical testing
will be required, however, for products which make efficacy claims
or are positioned as superior to a competitive brand or
product(s).
4
b)
Obagi Inc. and/or
the Marketer shall, either directly or through third parties (such
third parties being engaged at the Marketer’s expense),
provide a minimum of forty (40) hours per week managing the Space
and supporting the Spa Program as described more fully in
Exhibit B ;
c)
Obagi Inc. shall
meet and present a report to OMP on a quarterly basis describing
the development status of all Group B Product and the
clinical/development status of Group A Products to the extent Obagi
Inc. is engaged in such activities;
d)
Other services as
OMP may reasonably request to assist the OMP Entities in the
operations of their business, including assistance in marketing the
OMP Products, dealing with customers, suppliers, employees,
distributors and others currently having business relationships
with the OMP Entities.
e)
For the avoidance
of doubt, in the event Obagi Inc. presents a Group B Product
Development Timeline for a fully-developed product or System
Concept that includes Obagi Inc.-developed proprietary and/or
patentable invention(s), and OMP wishes to pursue and fund the
development of such Group B Product rather than have Obagi Inc.
fund and control the development process, Obagi Inc. will still be
entitled to such royalty payments as may be required on the
commercialization of said products pursuant to Section 2(b). It is
hereby understood that OMP cannot elect to designate a Group B
Product as a Group A Product merely to avoid its obligations to
make royalty payments to Obagi Inc.
(2)
Services to be
provided on a fee basis are as follows:
a)
Conduct
training/education seminars, including organizing and conducting
Obagi Skin Health “Alumni” Advanced Training Seminar

training/education seminars shall be mutually agreed upon by OMP
and Obagi Inc., in writing, in advance. The exact number of
training/education seminars to be performed by Obagi Inc. shall be

however, that such number shall not be less than 1 and not more
than 2 per year, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon between the
Parties;

described in Exhibit B , for the OMP Entities upon the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement. During the Term (as

render services for or have a direct or indirect relationship,
ownership interest in any other corporation, firm, entity or person
that provides services similar to those described above, the
Program, the Services, or which would be competitive to OMP. In
consideration for performing the above-mentioned services, Obagi
Inc. shall be compensated and reimbursed for its reasonable
expenses in accordance with Sections 2(a), 2(b), 2(c)(2), 2(c)(3),
and 2(c)(4) below.

discretion to determine the means and manner in which it performs
the services described in Section 1. However, both Parties

other locations pursuant to Section 2(c)(3) below and shall not

for expenses incurred for reimbursement.

and manner in which it performs the services described in this
Agreement. As an independent contractor, Obagi Inc. shall have no
authority, express or implied, to commit or obligate the OMP

joint venture or employment relationship. Obagi Inc. shall be
responsible for the payment of all federal, state or local taxes

for all such payments made by such OMP Entity. The Parties agree
that OMP shall advise Obagi Inc. of any audit, inquiry or
investigation relating to such tax liabilities and that Obagi Inc.
may participate in the defense of any such audit, inquiry or
investigation. Both Parties also agree, however, that OMP shall
retain final decision-making authority regarding litigation
strategy and/or settlement authority with respect to any such
