Average percentage discount

on a particular “bundle”

   =    1 - A/B) x 100

 

where A equals the total discounted price of a particular “bundle” of products, and B equals the sum of the undiscounted bona fide list prices of each unit of every product in such “bundle.” ORTHO shall provide KOSAN documentation, reasonably acceptable to KOSAN, establishing such average discount with respect to each “bundle.” If ORTHO cannot so establish the average discount of a “bundle”, NET SALES shall be based on the undiscounted list price of the PRODUCT in the “bundle.” If a PRODUCT in a “bundle” is not sold separately and no bona fide list price exists for such PRODUCT, the parties shall negotiate in good faith an imputed list price for such PRODUCT, and NET SALES with respect thereto shall be based on such imputed list price.

 

In the event that PRODUCTS are sold in the form of combination products containing one or more active ingredients other than the PRODUCT, NET SALES for such combination products will be calculated by multiplying actual NET SALES of such combination products by the fraction A/(A+B) where A is the invoice price of the PRODUCT if sold separately, and B is the total invoice price of any other active component or components in the combination, if sold separately by LICENSEE or an AFFILIATE OR SUBLICENSEE.

 

If on a country-by-country basis the other active component or components in the combination are not sold separately in said country by the LICENSEE or an AFFILIATE or SUBLICENSEE, NET SALES, for the purpose of determining royalties on the combination products shall be calculated by multiplying actual NET SALES of such combination products by the fraction A/C where A is the invoice price of the PRODUCT if sold separately and C is the invoice price of the combination product.

other writings, in which the parties discussed the transaction which is the subject of this AGREEMENT and their aspirations for its success. In such conversations and writings, individuals representing the parties may have expressed their judgments and beliefs concerning the intentions, capabilities, and practices of the parties, and may have forecasted future events.
