Following Regulatory Approval of the Product for Commercialization, Pineworld shall (i) make Commercially Reasonable Efforts to distribute and resell the Products in the Territory, and market and promote the Products as Pineworld products, while retaining the name and logo of Histogen on packaging, as shall be agreed by the Parties, and (ii) submit written reports within 30 days following every calendar quarter end to Histogen, showing details of sales, inventory, outstanding customer orders, orders placed by Pineworld with Histogen that are still outstanding, royalty calculations and any other information relating to the performance of its obligations under the LSA that Histogen may reasonably require from time to time. Pineworld shall make sales of Products only in bona fide, arm’s length transactions.

Section 6.2 Exclusive Supplier. Histogen will be the exclusive supplier of Product to Pineworld, and will reasonably provide Pineworld with its requirements of the Products. Neither Party will, nor will it permit any of its Affiliates or agents, to engage in any business involving any Competing Products within the Territory during the Term (including directly or indirectly selling or offering to sell any Competing Products in the Territory during the Term).

Section 6.3 Trademark License. Histogen hereby grants to Pineworld during the Term a license in the Territory on a limited, non-exclusive, personal, fully paid, royalty free, non-assignable (other than to (a) Huapont, (b) with Histogen’s prior written consent, or (c) in the event of a Change of Control), and non-sublicensable (except as set forth in Section 2.3) basis to the Histogen Trademarks (the “Trademark License”); provided, that Pineworld shall obtain Histogen’s prior written approval for all such uses of Histogen Trademarks, which prior approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by Histogen. Pineworld will provide Histogen at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to allow review prior to releasing any such usage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all use of Histogen Trademarks shall be subject to Histogen’s internal usage policies, which may change from time to time. Histogen shall solely retain all goodwill and intellectual property rights associated with the Histogen Trademarks and all related Trademarks derived therefrom, and the Trademark License shall be subject to customary restrictions on usage.

Section 6.4 Supply Forecasts. Pineworld will provide Histogen with the following not less than nine (9) months prior to First Commercial Sale:

(i) A 3-year nonbinding forecast, updated annually.

(ii) An annual forecast updated 180 days prior to the commencement of each calendar year (the “Annual Target”), where the following shall apply:

 

  1.

Pineworld shall be required to purchase more than 80% of the amount forecasted in the Annual Target.

 

  2.

Each Annual Target shall include quarterly forecasts for shipments, so as to guide Histogen’s production and manufacturing timing of the Product each quarter.

 

  3.

In the event more than 80% of the Annual Target is not purchased by Pineworld in a calendar year, Pineworld agrees to pay Histogen an amount equal to 50% of the dollar value difference between: (x) the actual purchases by Pineworld in said calendar year, and (y) the minimum purchases required to have exceeded 80% of the Annual Target. Such payment shall be made within 60 days of the end of the calendar year.

Section 6.5 Lead Time. Pineworld will provide Histogen with a 180-day lead time on all approved purchase orders. Such period may be shortened in the future by good faith negotiations between the Parties as manufacturing, inventory, and shelf life details become available during Product development.

 

-14-


Section 6.6 Product Pricing. After Product Approval is obtained, Histogen will supply the Products in accordance with the following pricing schemes:

(i) For Finished Product, at a transfer price (ex-factory price) of Manufacturing Costs plus 80%.

(ii) For Bulk Products, at a transfer price (ex-factory price) of Manufacturing Costs plus 80% plus the Bulk Markup Percentage (defined below); provided, that the Bulk Markup Percentage shall not exceed 20%.

Bulk Markup Percentage” is an amount equal to the result of the following, expressed as a percentage: (X) the difference in the actual Manufacturing Costs of the Finished Product (FP) and the Bulk Product (BP), divided by (Y) the Manufacturing Costs of the Finished Product (FP), multiplied by (Z) 0.8, as represented by the following formula:

(Z)*(X/Y) = 0.8*[(FP-BP)/FP]

For example, if the Finished Product (FP) has a Manufacturing Cost of $200/unit and the Bulk Product (BP) has a Manufacturing Cost of $180/unit, the Bulk Markup Percentage would be:

0.8*([200-180]/200) = 0.08 = 8%

Therefore, the transfer price of the Bulk Product would be the Manufacturing Costs plus (80% + 8%).

Section 6.7 Pricing Update. The price shall be updated by Histogen in good faith, on an annual basis, to account for changes in Manufacturing Costs, inflation and market changes. The Parties will discuss in good faith potential sharing in future cost reductions.

Section 6.8 Payments. Payments will be made, in two tranches, fifty percent (50%) upon placement of an order with Histogen, and the remaining fifty percent (50%) balance will be due forty five (45) Business Days from delivery of the Products for such order.

Section 6.9 Release Testing. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith and agree on criteria for mutual release testing of Product prior to first shipment. No orders of the Products shall be placed until Pineworld and Histogen confirm that the release testing criteria have been agreed to. No orders of Products shall be shipped by Histogen or resold by Pineworld until release testing has been successfully completed.

Section 6.10 Delivery. EXW (Incoterms 2015) Histogen manufacturing/storage facilities. Pineworld will, at its expense, appoint a carrier and insure product in transit.

Section 6.11 Receipt of Products. Pineworld shall receive Products in its warehouse, and shall stock, market, promote, distribute and handle as per normal industry standards and follow any special instructions provided by Histogen, including insulation, temperature modifications, humidity, and refrigeration conditions. If any problems are caused by non-compliance of these directions, Pineworld shall, and Histogen shall not, be held liable in such instances.

Section 6.12 Defective Products. Pineworld shall have forty-five (45) Business Days from delivery to its warehouse to inspect and reject the Products delivered, and otherwise will be deemed accepted as fulfilling warranties. Pineworld may reject the Products if it is rejecting a shipment or a portion thereof due to obvious physical damage, obvious packaging defect or quantity discrepancies that are evidence upon visual inspection of the Products. Pineworld may also reject Products by reasons of non-compliance with the Specifications, the release testing criteria of Section 6.9, regulatory requirements or Applicable Law. Pineworld shall notify Histogen in writing of such discovered defect or non-compliance.

In the event of rejection of any Products in accordance with the above, the following shall apply: (i) in the event that Histogen agrees with the findings of Pineworld in respect of such defects in the Product, it will be required to replace such Products without any additional consideration or refund the amount paid by Pineworld in respect of such Products; or (ii) in the event that Histogen disagrees with the findings of Pineworld in this respect, it may obtain and send samples of Products alleged to be defective to a mutually agreed upon independent institute or laboratory of international repute for testing. Both Parties agree to cooperate with the independent institute or laboratory’s reasonable requests for assistance in connection with its analysis hereunder.

Section 9.2 Indemnification by Histogen. Histogen shall indemnify, defend and hold Pineworld, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, agents and employees harmless from and against any and all Losses arising in connection with any and all Third Party Claims resulting or otherwise arising from (i) the development, manufacture and/or supply of the Product by or under the control of Histogen, (ii) the breach of any obligations or warranties hereunder by Histogen, (iii) the infringement of any Patent or other Intellectual Property rights of a Third Party in connection with the using, importing or selling of the Product by Pineworld (as set forth below in the Third Party claims provision hereinabove), (iv) the infringement of any Trademark rights of a Third Party in connection with the use of the Histogen Trademarks on or in connection with the sale or other Commercialization of the Product within the Territory, or (v) the intentional act or omission or the negligence of Histogen, except to the extent that such liabilities, demands, damages, or losses arise or result from the intentional act or omission or the negligence of Pineworld.

Section 9.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Notice of Claim. All indemnification claims under Section 9.1 or 9.2, as applicable, will be made solely by the corresponding Party seeking indemnity (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” and each an “Indemnified Party”). The Indemnified Party will give the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any Losses and any legal proceeding initiated by a Third Party against the Indemnified Party as to which the Indemnified Party intends to make a request for indemnification under Section 9.1 or 9.2, as applicable, but in no event will the Indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay in providing such notice except to the extent that such delay actually prejudices the defense of such proceeding. Each Indemnification Claim Notice shall contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss are known at such time). Together with the Indemnification Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party will furnish promptly to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by any Indemnified Party in connection with the Third Party Claim.

 

-19-


(b) Control of Defense. At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification as provided for in Section 9.1 or 9.2, as applicable, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel it selects, and such Indemnifying Party shall thereafter continue to defend such Third Party Claim in good faith. Should the Indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim (and continue to defend such Third Party Claim in good faith), the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim, unless the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with this Section 9.3.

(c) Right to Participate in Defense. Without limiting the foregoing, any Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of a Third Party Claim for which it has sought indemnification hereunder and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment will be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, or (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense (or continue to defend such Third Party Claim in good faith) and employ counsel in accordance with this Section 9.3, in which case the Indemnified Party will be allowed to control the defense at the Indemnifying Party’s expense.

(d) Settlement. With respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that will not result in the Indemnified Party (i) becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or (ii) admitting any breach or violation of contract or law, the Indemnifying Party will have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the Indemnifying Party, in its reasonable discretion, will deem appropriate (provided, however, that such terms shall include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto). With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.3(b), the Indemnifying Party will have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss; provided, it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will be not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party that has assumed the defense of (and continues to defend) the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.3(b) will not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a Loss by an Indemnified Party that is reached without the written consent of such Indemnifying Party. Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, no Indemnified Party will admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without first offering to the Indemnifying Party the opportunity to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.3(b).

(e) Cooperation. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will, and will cause each other Indemnified Party to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and will furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings,

 

-20-


trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection with such Third Party Claim. Such cooperation will include access during normal business hours afforded to the Indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making Indemnified Parties and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation.

(f) Expenses of the Indemnified Party. Except as provided above, the reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any Third Party Claim will be reimbursed on a calendar quarter basis by the Indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the Indemnifying Party’s right to contest the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the Indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party.

Section 9.4 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

During the Term, each Party shall procure, provide a certificate of insurance of, and maintain insurance, including general liability insurance and product liability insurance, adequate to cover its obligations hereunder and which is consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated at least thirty (30) days prior to when Product is being clinically tested in human subjects (in the case of clinical trial insurance) or commercially distributed or sold (in the case of product liability insurance) by such Party pursuant to this Agreement. The insurance companies providing coverage must have a current A.M. Best rating of B or better and each Party shall maintain such insurance for a minimum of 1 year after the end of the Term.

(c) Histogen shall bear the cost of any action or measures taken in accordance with this Section 11.6 and any damages or remuneration received by Histogen as a result of such action or measures shall be Histogen’s exclusive property to which Pineworld will have no right, title, or interest.

Section 11.7 Infringement of Third Party Intellectual Property.

(a) In the event of any actual or threatened suit against Pineworld or its Affiliates, sublicensees or customers alleging that the import, sale or use of the Product within the Territory and/or the exploitation or use of the Product IP or Histogen Trademarks hereunder infringes the Patent, Trademark or other Intellectual Property rights of a Third Party, Pineworld shall promptly give written notice to Histogen and the defense and settlement of such suit shall be handled pursuant to Sections 9.2-9.3. Moreover, to the extent that Histogen has indemnity obligations under Section 9.2, Pineworld will provide to Histogen all reasonable assistance requested by Histogen to defend or settle such suit and in particular Pineworld will promptly make available to Histogen, free of charge, all information in its possession or control which will assist Histogen in defending or otherwise dealing with such suit. Histogen shall retain the ability to control, settle and otherwise resolve any infringement claims for which an indemnity obligation under Section 9.2 exists. In addition to the rights and obligations of Histogen in Article 9, Histogen shall also retain the right to terminate its obligations under the LSA if it no longer practicable in light of such Third Party claim or claims. Nothing in this Section or Sections 9.2 or 9.3 will require Histogen to indemnify or assume the defense of any infringement claim of a Third Party that does not fall within its indemnity obligations of Section 9.2.

(b) If, in connection with any infringement claim, Histogen consents to Pineworld entering into a Third Party license agreement for any Intellectual Property that is necessary to Commercialize the Products within the Territory, then Pineworld may offset Royalty Payments due hereunder by 50% of the amounts due and actually paid under such Third Party license agreement; provided, that under no circumstance will the Royalty Payments due to Histogen be offset by more than 50% of the Royalty Payments otherwise owed to Histogen.

Section 12.1 Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” means all information, whether it be written or oral, including all production schedules, lines of products, volumes of business, processes, new product developments, product designs, formulae, technical information, laboratory data, clinical data, patent information, know-how, trade secrets, financial and strategic information, marketing and promotional information and data, and other material relating to any products, projects or processes of one Party (the “Disclosing Party”) that is provided to, or otherwise obtained by, the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) in connection with this Agreement (including information exchanged prior to the date hereof in connection with the transactions set forth in this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Confidential Information shall not include any information or materials that:

(a) were already known to the Receiving Party (other than under an obligation of confidentiality), at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party, to the extent such Receiving Party has documentary evidence to that effect;

(b) were generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of disclosure thereof to the Receiving Party;

(c) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after disclosure or development thereof, as the case may be, and other than through any act or omission of a Party in breach of such Party’s confidentiality obligations under this Agreement;

(d) were disclosed to a Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, by a Third Party who had no obligation to the Disclosing Party not to disclose such information to others; or

(e) were independently discovered or developed by or on behalf of the Receiving Party without the use of the Confidential Information belonging to the other Party, to the extent such Receiving Party has documentary evidence to that effect.

Section 12.2 Confidentiality Obligations. During the Term and for seven (7) years thereafter, either Party shall keep all Confidential Information received from or on behalf of the other Party with the same degree of care with which it maintains the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information, but in all cases no less than a reasonable degree of care. Neither Party shall use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than in performance of this Agreement or disclose the same to any other person other than to such of its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, managers, employees, independent contractors (e.g., CRO, SMO, and investigational sites), agents, consultants or, solely with respect to Pineworld, its sublicensees who have a need to know such Confidential Information to implement the terms of this Agreement or enforce its rights under this Agreement; provided, however, that a Receiving Party shall advise any of its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, managers, employees, independent

contractors (e.g., CRO, SMO, and investigational sites), agents, consultants or, solely with respect to Pineworld, its sublicensees, who receives such Confidential Information of the confidential nature thereof and of the obligations contained in this Agreement relating thereto, and the Receiving Party shall ensure (including, in the case of a Third Party, by means of a written agreement with such Third Party having terms at least as protective as those contained in this Article 12) that all such directors, officers, managers, employees, independent contractors (e.g., CRO, SMO, and investigational sites), agents, consultants or, solely with respect to Pineworld, its sublicensees comply with such obligations. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall return or destroy all documents, tapes or other media containing Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that remain in the possession of the Receiving Party or its directors, officers, managers, employees, independent contractors (e.g., CRO, SMO, and investigational sites), agents, consultants or, solely with respect to Pineworld, its sublicensees, except that the Receiving Party may keep one copy of the Confidential Information in the legal department files of the Receiving Party, solely for archival purposes. Such archival copy shall be deemed to be the property of the Disclosing Party, and shall continue to be subject to the provisions of this Article 12. It is understood that receipt of Confidential Information under this Agreement will not limit the Receiving Party from assigning its employees to any particular job or task in any way it may choose, so long as such recipient shall have agreed in writing to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall remain responsible for any failure by any such Person to treat such Confidential Information as required by this Agreement. If the Receiving Party is required to disclose Confidential Information in response to a court order or subpoena or to comply with the rules or regulations of regulatory agency or governmental agency in any country, the Receiving Party shall provide prior notice of such intended disclosure to the Disclosing Party in sufficient time to enable the Disclosing Party to object or seek a limitation as to the scope of the disclosure.

Section 12.3 Permitted Disclosure and Use. Notwithstanding Section 12.2, (i) either Party may disclose Confidential Information belonging to the other Party only to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with or enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement; (b) comply with Applicable Laws; (c) respond to subpoena or other compulsory legal process; or (d) disclose Confidential Information related to the Product only to the extent such disclosure is made to a governmental authority, including regulatory authority, and is reasonably necessary to obtain or maintain Regulatory Approval of a Product, as applicable.

Section 12.4 Notification. The Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party promptly upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, and will cooperate with the Disclosing Party in any reasonably requested fashion to assist the Disclosing Party to regain possession of such Confidential Information and to prevent its further unauthorized use or disclosure.
