Commercialization Plan
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Within sixty (60) days after completion of
the last clinical trial for the NDA for the first country in which
an NDA is to be made, CONFORMA shall provide SUMITOMO with a three
(3) year commercialization plan ("Commercialization Plan")
which will be updated by the end of third quarter every year. The
Commercialization Plan shall include CONFORMA’s launch plans,
such as publication planning, opinion development, positioning and
pricing strategies, campaign development and annual marketing
strategy for the Product as well as annual sales forecast of the
Product in value separately for North America and Europe.
CONFORMA’s commercialization plans shall set forth that
CONFORMA will launch the Finished Product in the USA within three
(3) months from the date on which the Authorization is granted
in the USA and launch the Finished Product at least in three of
five Major European Countries within one (1) year after
receipt of Authorization in each such country.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If CONFORMA foresees or becomes aware of any
material delay in the commercialization plan that would delay the
actual Launch date of the Finished Product more than ninety
(90) days, CONFORMA will provide SUMITOMO with a description
of the nature of the delay and a revised Annual Commercialization
Plan for the impacted countries within sixty (60) days after
becoming aware of such delay.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If CONFORMA is not able to demonstrate to
SUMITOMO’s reasonable satisfaction that there are reasonable
commercial reasons for the material delay of the Launch date such
as reasons related to pricing and reimbursement, SUMITOMO may
terminate the rights granted to CONFORMA under this Agreement
pursuant to Section 14.3. However, in case such material delay
would occur only in Europe, SUMITOMO may terminate this Agreement
only with respect to Europe, and upon such termination, all the
member states of the Europe shall be excluded from the
Territory
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the delay is attributable to CONFORMA’s

Agreement in its entirety pursuant to Section 14.3., but upon
shorter notice period of thirty (30) days.

Minimum Sales
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONFORMA shall achieve the minimum sales which is
seventy percent (70%) of the annual sales forecast as specified in
the Commercialization Plan ("Minimum Sales"). For the purpose of
defining CONFORMA’s Minimum Sales requirement, only the sales
forecast specified in the latest Commercialization Plan prior to
the start of the relevant calendar year shall be binding, and with
respect to the Minimum Sales requirement for the period covering
the first Launch in the Territory to December 31
st of such year,
CONFORMA may update the sales forecast by the time of the expected
Authorization date in the USA. If CONFORMA fails to achieve the
Minimum Sales for any consecutive two (2) calendar years in
North America or Europe, SUMITOMO may, at its discretion, terminate
this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.3. or convert
CONFORMA’s exclusive license to non-exclusive upon thirty
(30) days’ written notice with respect to the area where
CONFORMA cannot achieve the Minimum Sales (i.e., North America or
Europe); provided, however, that CONFORMA may, in lieu of such
termination or conversion, agree prior to the expiration of such
thirty (30) day period to pay to SUMITOMO an amount equal to
the Minimum Sales minus the actual sales during the relevant period
multiplied by 1 / 2 of the
Calculated Price (e.g., 1
/ 2 of
[***] % or 1
/ 2 of
[***] %, as the case may be). For the avoidance of doubt, if
the Minimum Sales were $10 million and the actual sales for
the applicable period were $7 million and the Calculated Price
is [***] %, the payment would be equal to $ [***]
.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the event that SUMITOMO elects to convert the
exclusive license to non-exclusive, CONFORMA will provide
commercially reasonable support to SUMITOMO or its designee in
their efforts to obtain additional Authorizations in the relevant
geographic area. CONFORMA is not entitled to receive any
compensation in relation to such support.
