Hyperion an opportunity to discuss such changes; provided that following the FDA’s acceptance of Hyperion’s filing of the NDA for a Development Product, without Hyperion’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, Ucyclyd shall not (i) increase the price of the Marketed Product corresponding to such Development Product or (ii) make changes to Ucyclyd’s practices with respect to discounts, rebates or other deductions that are not consistent with Ucyclyd’s past practices.
               (b) Forecasting.
                    (i) Within **** after the later of: (A) approval of the Promotion Plan as set forth in Section 2.1.2(b) (Promotion Plan); and (B) approval of the Hyperion Compliance Program as set forth in Section 5.2 (Compliance Program), Hyperion shall provide Ucyclyd with the initial Sales Forecast for the **** period commencing upon the date of such Sales Forecast (the “Initial Sales Forecast”). Thereafter, during the Development Term, on or before the first Business Day of each month, Hyperion shall provide to Ucyclyd a monthly updated rolling Sales Forecast for the subsequent **** period.
                    (ii) With respect to the Initial Sales Forecast and each such rolling Sales Forecast, Ucyclyd shall be entitled to rely upon the first **** as firm (the “Firm Forecast”). Hyperion shall be responsible for the accuracy of each such Firm Forecast and shall reimburse Ucyclyd for the cost of any and all of the Marketed Product that was made by or on behalf of Ucyclyd based on such Sales Forecast and was not sold on or before the expiration of the shelf life of such Marketed Product determined in accordance with the then-current Ucyclyd returns and disposal policy, which such policy shall be provided to Hyperion, promptly following Hyperion’s request.
               (c) Misdirected Orders. During the Development Term, if, for any reason, Hyperion receives orders for Marketed Products, Hyperion shall forward such orders to Ucyclyd (or if directed by Ucyclyd to Ucyclyd’s wholesalers) as soon as practicable.
               (d) Product Returns. During the Development Term, if any quantities of the Marketed Products are returned to Hyperion, Hyperion shall notify Ucyclyd immediately and ship them to the facility designated by Ucyclyd. Hyperion, at its option, may advise the customer who made the return that the Marketed Products have been returned to Ucyclyd, but shall take no other steps in respect of any return without the prior written consent of Ucyclyd.
               (e) Supply of the Marketed Products. During the Development Term:
                    (i) Ucyclyd shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to manufacture or have manufactured and supply Marketed Products in a consistent fashion and in sufficient quantities to meet the forecasted amounts of Marketed Products in accordance with the then-current Promotion Plan and the Sales Forecast. The Parties shall keep each other timely apprised of the status and any potential delay with respect to the supply of the Marketed Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hyperion acknowledges that Ucyclyd is in the process

of transferring the manufacture of Ammonul from one Third Party manufacturer to another due to the closure of the manufacturing facilities of the existing Third Party manufacturer, and there are certain risks of continuous supply or the ability to meet Sales Forecasts. Ucyclyd shall provide Hyperion with a draft of such new Third Party manufacturing agreement reasonably in advance of its execution for Hyperion to review and comment. Hyperion shall provide comments to such draft within **** following delivery of such draft and Ucyclyd shall consider in good faith but shall not be required to include Hyperion’s comments to such draft. Ucyclyd shall obtain rights under all Third Party manufacturing agreements entered into after the Effective Date to assign such agreements to Hyperion without the consent of such manufacturers, and such agreements shall be deemed a Manufacturing Agreement to be transferred to Hyperion upon Closing. Hyperion agrees not to hold Ucyclyd liable with respect to any inability or shortage solely to the extent attributable to any change of manufacturer, and Ucyclyd agrees not to hold Hyperion liable with respect to any failure to perform its obligations under the Agreement as a result of such inability or shortage of supply.
                    (ii) Ucyclyd shall promptly advise Hyperion, in writing, if supply will not be available to satisfy any Sales Forecast or if any significant distribution disruptions occur at any time, the estimated duration of the disruption and any resulting shortfall, and Ucyclyd’s undertakings aimed at remedying such shortfall in a timely manner. Promptly after Hyperion’s receipt of such notification, Ucyclyd shall discuss with Hyperion, through the JSC or otherwise, a plan and timeline to remedy such shortfall and adjusting any Sales Forecast, in which case Ucyclyd shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to remedy any such shortfall in accordance with such plan.
                    (iii) At any time after the Effective Date, Hyperion shall have the right to qualify an alternative manufacturer that shall be reasonably acceptable to Ucyclyd. Hyperion may provide a list of such manufacturers to Ucyclyd within **** following the Effective Date and Ucyclyd shall notify Hyperion within **** following Ucyclyd’s receipt of such list whether such manufacturers are acceptable to Ucyclyd. With respect to any qualification hereunder: (A) Hyperion shall be responsible solely for qualifying such alternate manufacturer; (B) Hyperion shall pay all related costs, including all fees associated with obtaining any approvals in accordance with any Legal Requirements; (C) Ucyclyd shall establish with such manufacturer, at Hyperion’s sole cost and expense, the applicable DMFs containing the relevant Manufacturing Technology and, if required for purposes of qualifying and manufacturing the Marketed Products, the Product Technology and such manufacturer shall have a limited, non-transferable (except as permitted by Section 16.14 (Assignment)) right of reference to such DMFs solely for purposes of manufacturing and supplying the affected Marketed Product to Hyperion; and (D) Hyperion shall not otherwise attempt to develop a separate DMF with such alternate manufacturer.
                    (iv) Only in the event that Ucyclyd is unable to meet the requirements of a Firm Forecast for a Marketed Product for a period of **** for reasons other than due to a Force Majeure event, Hyperion shall have the right to have the affected Marketed Product manufactured by a Third Party alternate manufacturer who shall be qualified in accordance with the requirements set forth in subsection (iii) above. As soon as Ucyclyd has adequately remedied the deficiencies giving rise to the exercise of the right by Hyperion

hereunder, Ucyclyd shall have the right to resume manufacturing and supply of the affected Marketed Products and Hyperion shall cease manufacturing or having manufactured the Marketed Products.  In the event Hyperion exercises its right to supply the affected Marketed Product under this subsection (iv), the Parties agree to cooperate with respect to any required filings under applicable Legal Requirements related to any such change in manufacturing and supply.
          2.1.5 Expansion of Promotion Territory.
               (a) From time to time during the Development Term, the Parties may consider the expansion of the Promotion Territory into other countries or territories. Any request for such expansion will be submitted to the JSC for review and prior written approval. Hyperion shall submit a written proposal for expansion into the applicable country or territory, which proposal will address, at a minimum: (i) the Promotion activities expected of each Party in such country or territory including how Promotion will be handled in such country or territory (e.g., by employees of a Party, a contract sales force, etc.); (ii) the Regulatory Approvals required in such country or territory and any other barriers to entry in such country or territory; (iii) the anticipated costs and expenses or other investment by each Party with respect to Promotion and supply efforts in such country or territory; (iv) the impact, if any, on the calculation of the Commission; (v) the other criteria for the Promotion Plan; (vi) how expansion into such country or territory will increase the opportunities for both Parties and not adversely impact Promotion activities in the then-current Promotion Territory; and (vii) the consideration to be paid to either Party with respect to the expanded country or territory.
               (b) The JSC shall submit a final proposal to Ucyclyd for final approval in Ucyclyd’s sole discretion. If approved by Ucyclyd, the proposal shall become part of the then-current Promotion Plan and the Promotion Territory shall be deemed expanded to include such country or territory without any requirement for a written amendment to the Agreement.
               (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hyperion acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing shall not require Ucyclyd to terminate, not renew or not enter into, any agreements providing rights to Third Parties relating to the distribution, promotion, marketing or sale of the Marketed Products outside of the then-current Promotion Territory. Ucyclyd shall not share any information related to information by Hyperion or the JSC provided pursuant to this Section 2.1.5 (Expansion of Promotion Territory) with a Third Party without the prior written consent of Hyperion. With respect to any agreements providing rights to Third Parties relating to the distribution, promotion, marketing or sale of the Marketed Products outside of the then-current Promotion Territory to be entered into following the Effective Date (not including any renewals of agreements in effect as of the Effective Date), Ucyclyd shall provide Hyperion with drafts of any such agreements prior to its execution for Hyperion to review and comment, and Ucyclyd shall consider such comments in good faith; provided, however, the incorporation of Hyperion’s comments into such draft shall be in Ucyclyd’s sole discretion. Such agreements shall be deemed Distribution Agreements to be transferred (if assignable) to Hyperion upon Closing.
               (d) Hyperion acknowledges and agrees that Ucyclyd does not make (and shall not make) any representations or warranties of any kind with respect to Promotion or

other activities outside of the United States and that to the extent Ucyclyd approves expansion of the Promotion Territory, Hyperion’s activities outside the United States shall be at Hyperion’s sole cost, expense and risk. Except as expressly agreed in writing by the Parties, if Ucyclyd approves expansion of the Promotion Territory to include territories or countries outside the United States (“New Territories”), Ucyclyd and its Affiliates shall: (A) have no liability whatsoever to Hyperion with respect to activities, Regulatory Approvals or Price Approvals in the New Territory; (B) shall not be obligated to defend, indemnify, or hold harmless any Hyperion Indemnitee with respect to any of the foregoing; and (C) not Promote the Marketed Products in such New Territories.
          2.1.6 Exclusion or Prohibition Affecting Sales of Marketed Product. 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.
     2.2 Research and Development during the Development Term.
          2.2.1 R&D Rights with Respect to Development Products. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, during the Development Term, Hyperion shall have responsibility for, and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform and conduct, the Development and Regulatory Program with the goal of obtaining Regulatory Approvals in the Development Territory for use of the Development Products in the Development Field in accordance with the Development Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Hyperion acknowledges and agrees that the primary focus of its efforts under the Development and Regulatory Program shall be to obtain Regulatory Approval first in the United States for **** in ****. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ucyclyd acknowledges that the current

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).
          2.2.2 R&D Rights Outside of the Development Field.
               (a) Subject to Section 2.2.1 (R&D Rights with Respect to the Development Products), during the Development Term, Hyperion may develop the Development Products for uses outside of the Development Field only with the prior written consent of Ucyclyd, which consent Ucyclyd shall have the right to withhold in its sole discretion; provided, however, that investigator sponsored activities or investigator sponsored use of the Development Products outside of the Development Field will be reviewed and approved by the JSC.
               (b) Hyperion acknowledges that, under the Distribution Agreements, Ucyclyd has granted Third Parties certain rights with respect to development of the Products for uses outside of the Development Field. During the Development Term, Ucyclyd agrees not to grant: (i) such Third Parties any rights for additional uses outside the Territory; and (ii) any other Third Party any right to research or develop any Product for uses outside the Development Field without the prior written consent of Hyperion.
          2.2.3 R&D Rights Outside of the United States.
               (a) Hyperion acknowledges that, under the Distribution Agreements, Ucyclyd has granted Third Parties certain rights with respect to research and development of the Products outside of the United States (the “Pre-existing Rights”). During the Development Term, Hyperion shall have the right to conduct research and development activities outside of the United States in support of Hyperion’s efforts to obtain Regulatory Approval in the United States, except in those jurisdictions where such research and development efforts would conflict with the rights granted to Third Parties pursuant to the Pre-existing Rights.
               (b) Subject to any Pre-existing Rights, during the Development Term, Hyperion shall have the right to propose to the JSC research and development activities outside of the United States in connection with obtaining Regulatory Approval for the Development Products outside of the United States. Ucyclyd shall advise Hyperion whether the conduct of any such activities would conflict with any rights granted to Third Parties that are in addition to the Pre-existing Rights. To the extent such proposed activities do not conflict with any Third Party rights, Hyperion shall have the right to perform such proposed activities. In the event that Hyperion conducts any research and development activities outside of the United States as permitted in this Section, Hyperion shall coordinate all such activities with Ucyclyd through the JSC during the Development Term.

          2.2.4 Development Plan.
               (a) Hyperion shall establish a Development Plan for the conduct of the Development and Regulatory Program. The Development Plan shall include: (i) a description of the activities to be conducted by each Party from the Effective Date during the Development Term; (ii) a Development Plan budget for such period; and (iii) an estimated timeline for the performance of activities thereunder. The draft Development Plan is attached hereto as Schedule 2.2.4 (Development Plan) and such draft Development Plan shall be reviewed and approved at the first meeting of the JSC; provided, however, until such meeting, Hyperion may conduct activities in accordance with the draft Development Plan.
               (b) On an annual basis, the JSC shall review the Development Plan and recommend any amendment, and any changes to the Development Plan shall be subject to the approval of the JSC. The JSC may, from time to time include additional activities to the Development Plan, in response to any request or input from the FDA or otherwise (the “Additional Activities”), and if so, the JSC also shall adjust the timelines in the Development Plan that are affected by such inclusion to allow the appropriate time for the completion of such Additional Activities (the “Additional Period”).
          2.2.5 Research and Development Diligence.
               (a) Hyperion shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to pursue, perform, develop and fund the Development and Regulatory Program in compliance with: (i) the terms and conditions of the Agreement; (ii) the Development Plan; (iii) all applicable good laboratory practices and applicable cGMP requirements; (iv) all applicable Legal Requirements of each country where the Development and Regulatory Program is conducted; and (v) the terms and conditions under the Brusilow License Agreement with regard to the research and development of GT4P. With respect to the research and development of GT4P, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Agreement and those under the Brusilow License Agreement, then the terms and conditions of the Brusilow License Agreement shall govern; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to expand the rights granted to Hyperion under the Agreement.
               (b) Hyperion shall, on a quarterly basis, submit to the JSC, two (2) written reports describing Hyperion’s progress with respect to the research and development for each Development Product since the date of the previous written reports (each, a “Development Report”). The first report will describe such progress with respect to **** for **** (as applicable) and the second report will describe such progress with respect to **** for the treatment of **** (as applicable). Hyperion shall consider in good faith any comments that Ucyclyd may have with respect to any such Development Report. Ucyclyd shall have the right to disclose any reports with respect to GT4P for UCD, HE and any Other Indications, or any parts thereof, to the licensors or their representatives, agents or consultants under the Brusilow License Agreement (collectively, the “Brusilow Licensors”).
               (c) The Development Plan sets forth the expected time frames for the completion of the Development and Regulatory Program. The Parties recognize, however, that despite their efforts to anticipate both the likely scope of such clinical development activities and

their likely cost, there may be delays, cost overruns and increased costs due to factors beyond the reasonable control of Hyperion; provided that Hyperion uses reasonable precautionary measure or reasonable alternative measures to address such scenario, such as additional development activities not included in the Development and Regulatory Program. The Parties agree that such delay shall not automatically be deemed Hyperion’s breach of its diligence obligations under this Section 2.2.5 (Research and Development Diligence).
          2.2.6 Transition of Development and Regulatory Program to Hyperion.
               (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”). Hyperion acknowledges and agrees that the work product or deliverables resulting from such Close-Out Activities shall be provided on an AS-IS/WHEREAS basis without any representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied.
               (b) Promptly following the Effective Date, Ucyclyd and Hyperion will cooperate to transition to Hyperion the work being performed or to be performed under those agreements set forth on Schedule 2.2.6(b) (R&D Agreements) (“R&D Agreements”). Such transition shall include pursuing a novation of the R&D Agreements with Hyperion assuming the obligations under the R&D Agreements except to the extent of any obligations (together with all potential and actual claims and liabilities from any party under such R&D Agreements resulting therefrom) that Ucyclyd or its Affiliates were required to perform, but failed to perform, prior to the effective date of such novation. To the extent that Ucyclyd is unable to secure a novation under an R&D Agreement but Ucyclyd otherwise has the right to assign the applicable R&D Agreement to Hyperion, Ucyclyd shall assign such R&D Agreement to Hyperion with Hyperion assuming the obligations under the R&D Agreements except to the extent of any obligations (together with all potential and actual claims and liabilities from any party under such R&D Agreements resulting therefrom) that Ucyclyd or its Affiliates were required to perform, but failed to perform, prior to the effective date of such assignment. 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). Hyperion desires that Ucyclyd introduce Hyperion to the applicable Third Parties under such agreements and reasonably cooperate with Hyperion to transition negotiation of such agreement to Hyperion.
               (d) In the event that the Agreement is terminated prior to Closing for any reason other than as a result of a material breach of the Agreement by Ucyclyd, Hyperion hereby assigns, and Ucyclyd hereby assumes, all of the rights, duties and obligations of Hyperion that existed under the agreements referenced in this Section 2.2.6 (Transition of Development

          2.2.7 Development Costs. Hyperion shall pay any and all costs and expenses related to the performance of the Development and Regulatory Program and obtaining the Regulatory Approvals in the Development Territory, including any cost overruns and increased costs arising in connection with completing those development activities included in the Development and Regulatory Program or incurred in connection with any Additional Activities. Hyperion shall not be required to pay those costs and expenses incurred by Ucyclyd in preparing or maintaining any DMFs for the Products or any costs or expenses for which Ucyclyd is responsible under the express terms and conditions of the Clinical Supply Agreement.
          2.2.8 Information Exchange.
               (a) Pursuant to the Exclusivity Agreement and the Existing Confidentiality Agreement between the Parties, Ucyclyd has disclosed to Hyperion, prior to the Effective Date, information pertaining to the Development and Regulatory Program that is necessary or reasonably useful for Hyperion to evaluate such Development and Regulatory Program. Hyperion has reviewed all such information thoroughly and has knowingly assumed the responsibility for the Development and Regulatory Program as required under the Agreement and the Brusilow License Agreement.
               (b) Upon Ucyclyd’s request, Hyperion shall discuss with representatives of Ucyclyd and Brusilow Licensors Hyperion’s progress toward first commercial sale of GT4P. During the Development Term, without the prior written consent of Ucyclyd, Hyperion shall not disclose the Development Report to ****, or discuss with **** any matter relating to the Development of GT4P under this Agreement. During the Development Term, (i) each Party shall have the right to use the Product Technology, Developed Technology or Manufacturing Technology to the extent necessary for such Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including the Development Plan, and (ii) neither Party shall have the right to use such Product Technology, Developed Technology or Manufacturing Technology for any other purpose nor to disclose such Product Technology, Developed Technology or Manufacturing Technology to any Third Party, except with the prior written consent of the other Party or as expressly permitted under this Agreement.
          2.2.9 Approval of **** Prior to Closing. In the event that an NDA for **** for the treatment of **** in humans is approved by the FDA during the Development Term on and following such approval:
               (a) subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and provided that Hyperion is otherwise in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement at the time of such approval, Ucyclyd hereby grants to Hyperion an exclusive (even as to Ucyclyd except as provided in subsections (b) and (d) of Section 2.1.1 (Promotion Rights and License)), non-transferable, sublicenseable, royalty-bearing, worldwide (subject to any previously granted rights set forth in the agreements listed on Schedule 10.2 (Ucyclyd

          2.2.10 Termination Based on Failure to File NDA.
               (a) During the Development Term, Ucyclyd, at its sole option, shall have the right to terminate the Development and Regulatory Program and the Term of the Agreement at any time after **** following the Transition Date if Hyperion has failed to obtain acceptance from the FDA of the filing for the NDA for **** for the treatment of ****, unless Hyperion is excused from such performance pursuant to subsection (b) below. “Transition Date” shall mean the date upon which Ucyclyd fulfills its obligations to deliver copies of NDAs, INDs, regulatory correspondence and periodic and other reports filed with regulatory agencies (including serious adverse events (“SAEs”), alert reports and any adverse event reports and the underlying data) and clinical data in connection with the Development Products.
               (b) If, despite Hyperion’s exercise of Commercially Reasonable Efforts, there is no longer a reasonable scientific or medical basis on which to file an NDA for **** for the treatment of ****, Hyperion shall deliver to Ucyclyd written notice specifying in detail the basis(es) for such claims. If Ucyclyd agrees with Hyperion’s conclusion in such claims, then the Parties will present such claims to **** pursuant to subsection (c) below. If Ucyclyd does not agree with such conclusion, then such claims shall be submitted to an independent Third Party acceptable to both Parties for independent review, with each Party bearing half the costs of such review. If the independent Third Party supports Hyperion’s conclusion in such claims, then the Parties will present such claims to **** pursuant to subsection (c) below. In the event such independent Third Party does not support Hyperion’s conclusion in such claims, then Hyperion may elect within **** following the date of the decision of the independent Third Party: (i) to resume the **** portion of the Development and Regulatory Program, or (ii) not to resume the **** portion of the Development and Regulatory Program, in which case, Ucyclyd shall have the right to terminate immediately this Agreement.
               (c) In the event that the Parties present claims to **** as set forth in subsection (b) above, the Parties shall cooperate to present such claims to ****. In the event **** do not dispute such claims and such claims relate only to **** (i.e., the Development and Regulatory Program can continue with respect to **** for the treatment of ****), then Hyperion shall be required to continue its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the research and development of ****. In the event **** dispute such claims, the matter will be submitted for resolution in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in ****. Any such dispute shall be the responsibility of Hyperion and Hyperion shall defend, indemnify and hold the Ucyclyd Indemnitees harmless with respect to such dispute pursuant to Section 14.2.2 (Indemnification by Hyperion) and Ucyclyd will provide reasonable cooperation in connection therewith, at Hyperion’s sole cost and expense.
               (d) In the event: (i) Hyperion, Ucyclyd and **** have agreed in writing or any dispute resolution among the Parties and **** has confirmed that there is no longer a reasonable scientific or medical basis on which to file NDAs for **** for **** pursuant to subsection (b) above; or (ii) **** have not notified Ucyclyd of any dispute within

          14.3.1 General. The Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claims covered under the terms of Section 14.2 (Indemnification) or any other provision of the Agreement whereby a Party agrees to indemnify the other Party, as applicable, for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification; provided, however, that any delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party hereunder except to the extent such delay materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against such claim or materially increases the amount of damages awarded or paid in settlement of such claim. For a period that shall not exceed **** following any such notification, the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party shall investigate and discuss in good faith whether such claim is subject to indemnification under the applicable provisions of the Agreement. During such discussions, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party full access to all records, data and personnel of the Indemnified Party as may be reasonably necessary to make such determination. If the Parties are unable to agree on whether the Indemnifying Party is required to indemnify the Indemnified Party under the terms of the Agreement, the Indemnifying Party, at its option, shall either assume or decline defense of the claims, including negotiations for its settlement or compromise.
          14.3.2 Defense Assumed. If the Indemnifying Party assumes defense of a claim as described herein, the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of such claim and may be represented, at the Indemnified Party’s expense, by counsel of its choice, provided that, where the Indemnifying Party has assumed defense of a claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have sole control over such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for defending any claims other than those described in Section 14.2 (Indemnification) or any other provision of the Agreement whereby a Party agrees to indemnify the other Party, as applicable, even if brought in the same suit. In addition to the foregoing, if a court of competent jurisdiction later determines that a claim for which the Indemnifying Party assumed defense was not eligible for indemnification hereunder within **** following such determination, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such claim.
          14.3.3 Defense Declined. If the Indemnifying Party declines to assume defense of any claim, and it is later determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such claim was eligible for indemnification hereunder within **** following such determination, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party in full for all judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such claim.
          14.3.4 Settlement of Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement: (a) materially diminishes any of the Indemnified Party’s rights under the Agreement or seeks to impose additional obligations on the Indemnified Party; or (b) arises out of or is a part of any criminal

As applicable, such insurance shall provide coverage for all claims against all losses, claims, demands, proceedings, damages, costs, charges and expenses for injuries or damage to any Person or property arising out of or in connection with Ucyclyd’s performance or non-performance under this Agreement. Such insurance shall designate Hyperion and its Affiliates as “additional insureds” on comprehensive general liability policies. In the event the insurance policy obtained by Ucyclyd is a “claims made” policy (as opposed to an “occurrence” policy), Ucyclyd shall obtain comparable insurance for not less than **** following the expiration and non-renewal or termination of the Agreement. Each of the insurance policies, except statutory workers’ compensation coverage, shall provide that it may not be terminated, canceled or modified unless Hyperion is given **** prior written notice by the insurance carrier. Ucyclyd’s insurance coverage must be primary coverage without right of contribution from any insurance of Hyperion or its Affiliates. On or before the Effective Date, and each year thereafter for as long as the Agreement is in effect, Ucyclyd shall provide Hyperion certificates of insurance evidencing the coverage and limits required by this Section 14.4 (Insurance).

As applicable, such insurance shall provide coverage for all claims against all losses, claims, demands, proceedings, damages, costs, charges and expenses for injuries or damage to any Person or property arising out of or in connection with Hyperion’s performance or non-performance under this Agreement. Such insurance shall designate Ucyclyd and its Affiliates as “additional insureds” on comprehensive general liability policies. In the event the insurance policy obtained by Hyperion is a “claims made” policy (as opposed to an “occurrence” policy), Hyperion shall obtain comparable insurance for not less than **** following the expiration and non-renewal or termination of the Agreement. Each of the insurance policies, except statutory workers’ compensation coverage, shall provide that it may not be terminated, canceled or modified unless Ucyclyd is given **** prior written notice by the insurance carrier.

On or before the Effective Date, and each year thereafter for as long as the Agreement is in effect, Hyperion shall provide Ucyclyd certificates of insurance evidencing the coverage and limits required by this Section 14.4 (Insurance).
     14.5 Insurance Proceeds. Any indemnification under this Article 14 (Indemnification, Insurance and Limitation on Liability) shall be made net of any insurance proceeds recovered by the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if, following the payment to the Indemnified Party of any amount under this Article 14 (Indemnification, Insurance and Limitation on Liability), such Indemnified Party recovers any insurance proceeds in respect of the claim for which such indemnification payment was made, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay an amount equal to the amount of such proceeds (but not exceeding the amount of such indemnification payment) to the Indemnifying Party.
     14.6 Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM A BREACH OF A PARTY’S CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR LOST PROFITS, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, ANY DAMAGES AWARDED TO A THIRD PARTY FOR WHICH A PARTY IS OBLIGATED TO INDEMNIFY THE OTHER PARTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 14 (INDEMNIFICATION, INSURANCE AND LIMITATION ON LIABILITY) OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSIDERED DIRECT DAMAGES AND, THEREFORE, IS NOT SUBJECT TO ANY CAP ON LIABILITY.

               (b) In the event (i) Ucyclyd elects to terminate the Term of the Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2(e) or Section 12.2(f) and (ii) within **** following Hyperion’s receipt of written notice from Ucyclyd pursuant to Section 12.2(e) or Section 12.2(f), Ucyclyd receives written notice from Hyperion specifying that Hyperion disputes the basis for such termination, then until resolution of the dispute, Hyperion’s rights and activities under the Agreement shall be suspended in accordance with the following:
                    (A) if the violation relates only to Promotion by Hyperion, then all Promotion rights and activities of Hyperion shall be suspended immediately; or
                    (B) if the violation relates to both Promotion by Hyperion and the Development and Regulatory Program or only to the Development and Regulatory Program, then Hyperion shall suspend immediately (1) all Promotion by Hyperion and (2) all activities under the Development and Regulatory Program that are identified by Ucyclyd in the notice as being related to the violation; provided, however, with respect to suspension of activities under the Development and Regulatory Program: (a) if suspension of particular activities may adversely impact the health or safety of patients, then Hyperion shall continue those activities until final resolution of the dispute; (b) the Parties shall meet promptly to discuss the nature of any activities that shall continue; (c) Hyperion shall implement those measures reasonably required by Ucyclyd to mitigate the risk of any continuing or other violations; (d) upon prior written notice to Hyperion, Ucyclyd shall have the right to designate a Third Party to oversee Hyperion’s continuing activities under the Development and Regulatory Program until final resolution of the dispute; and (e) Hyperion shall cooperate and provide such Third Party the information and access reasonably required for such oversight.
If such dispute is resolved in Ucyclyd’s favor, then the Term of the Agreement shall terminate immediately with respect to all rights and activities, it being acknowledged by Hyperion that there shall be no basis for partial termination of the Term of the Agreement. If the dispute is resolved in Hyperion’s favor, then Hyperion may resume the exercise of all of Hyperion’s rights and activities under the Agreement, it being acknowledged by Ucyclyd that there shall be no basis for partial termination of the Term of the Agreement. In any event, the reinstatement shall be subject to any limitations set forth in the order or award resolving the dispute. Any dispute hereunder shall be subject to dispute resolution under the provisions of Article 15 (Dispute Resolution); provided that the independent third arbitrator selected shall have a minimum of fifteen (15) years of experience in regulatory compliance matters and to the extent available, relevant experience or familiarity with corporate integrity agreements (or successors thereto under the OIG).

Agreement as an independent contractor, and nothing in the Agreement shall create any association, partnership or joint venture between the Parties or any employer-employee relationship. No agent, employee or servant of either Party shall be or shall be deemed to be the employee, agent or servant of the other Party and each Party shall be solely and entirely responsible for its acts and the acts of its employees. It is understood and agreed that each Party shall have the status of an independent contractor under the Agreement and that nothing in the Agreement shall be construed as authorization for either Party to act as agent for the other. Neither Party shall incur any liability for any act or failure to act by employees of the other Party.
     16.2 Force Majeure. If the performance by either Party of any obligation under the Agreement is prevented, restricted, interfered with or delayed by reason of any cause beyond the reasonable control of the Party liable to perform, including fire, accident, labor difficulty, strike, riot, civil commotion, act of God, delay or errors by shipping companies (“Force Majeure”), the Party so affected shall, upon giving written notice to the other Party and subject to the terms in the Agreement, be excused from such performance to the extent of such prevention, restriction, interference or delay except to the extent that the Party claiming the benefit of the Force Majeure is directly at fault in causing or failing to prevent such default or delay, and provided that such default or delay cannot reasonably be circumvented by the Party claiming the benefit of the Force Majeure through the use of alternate sources, work-around plans or other means, and shall continue performance promptly whenever such causes are removed. When such circumstances arise, the Parties shall discuss what, if any, modification of the terms of the Agreement may be required in order to arrive at an equitable solution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hyperion acknowledges and agrees that Hyperion shall not be excused from the purchase under Section 3.1 (Purchase Rights) or its payment obligations under the Agreement due to any of the foregoing. The following shall not be considered an event of Force Majeure: (x) early termination of the Brusilow License Agreement or the R&D Sublicense Agreement for any reason; and (y) any changes in Legal Requirements.
     16.3 Counterparts. The Agreement, or any part thereof requiring signing by the Parties, may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original as against any Party whose signature appears thereon but both of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile transmission of the signed Agreement, and those parts thereof requiring signing by the Parties, shall be legal and binding on both Parties.
     16.4 Notices. Except as otherwise set forth in the Agreement, in any case where any notice or other communication is required or permitted to be given under the Agreement, such notice or communication shall be in writing, and sent by overnight express or registered or certified mail (with return receipt requested) or sent via facsimile with confirmation by overnight express or registered or certified mail (with return receipt requested) with the recipient and shall be sent to the following address (or such other address as either Party may designate from time to time in writing):

In case any one or more of the provisions contained in the Agreement shall, for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability, shall not affect any other provision of the Agreement, but the Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision or provisions had never been contained in the Agreement, unless the deletion of such provision or provisions would result in such a material change as to cause completion of the transactions contemplated in the Agreement to be impossible and provided that the performance required by the Agreement with such clause deleted remains substantially consistent with the intent of the Parties.
     16.9 Publicity. Neither Party shall issue or release any media release or public announcement (including any announcements made via any posting on the World Wide Web or Internet), or other similar publicity announcing the existence of the Agreement or relating to any term or condition of the Agreement in any country or the relationships created by the Agreement without **** prior written notice to the other Party and the prior written consent of the other Party as further set forth in this Section below.

                    (i) with respect to Article **** of the **** Agreement, the phrase “****” shall mean that the Territory shall expand if the Promotion Territory expands pursuant to Section 2.1.5 (Expansion of Promotion Territory);
                    (ii) with respect to Section **** of the **** Agreement, the phrase “****” shall mean that the term of the **** Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of termination of the Term of the Agreement as set forth in Article 12 (Term and Termination) or otherwise specified in the Agreement including Section 8.1.2(c) (Brusilow Intellectual Property);

     16.13 No Waiver of Rights. No failure or delay on the part of either Party in the exercise of any power or right under the Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right or power under the Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right or power. The waiver by either Party of a breach of any provision of the Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach under the Agreement.
     16.14 Assignment.
          (a) Hyperion acknowledges that Ucyclyd is entering into this Agreement based, in part, on the intangible benefits of partnering with Hyperion, including the experience, understanding and unique capabilities of Hyperion and its officers. Accordingly, Hyperion may assign or otherwise transfer the Agreement, or any part hereof, only in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions set forth below in this Section 16.14 (Assignment).
          (b) The Parties acknowledge and agree to fulfill their respective obligations hereunder this Section 16.14 (Assignment) in good faith.
          (c) During the Development Term and subject to subsection (f) below, Hyperion may assign or transfer the Agreement pursuant to (and only pursuant to) a Change in Control with the prior written consent of Ucyclyd, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Hyperion acknowledges that the reasonableness of any decision to withhold, delay, or condition consent shall be evaluated in view of the fact that the ability of a proposed successor to comply with the regulatory and compliance obligations under the Agreement is a critical factor for Medicis and Ucyclyd in determining whether to consent to a Change in Control, and that such factor will be evaluated by Medicis and Ucyclyd taking into consideration the potential risk and exposure to Medicis and its Affiliates of collaborating with the successor under the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
          (d) During the Development Term, Hyperion shall have the right to request the consent of Ucyclyd with respect to any proposed Change in Control pursuant to subsection (c); provided, however, with respect to a Change in Control involving a Third Party, such request shall be at any time after delivery of an executed or final term sheet or letter of intent from a Third Party contemplating a transaction that could reasonably result in a Change in Control. The term “final” in the foregoing sentence shall mean that Hyperion and the Third Party have reached agreement on the material terms of a proposed transaction, as reflected in an unexecuted term sheet or other document, and intend to proceed to negotiation of definitive documents.
 
****   Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 


 

          (e) The process with respect to the request under subsection (d) shall be as follows:
                    (i) Any request for consent to a Change in Control during the Development Term must be provided to Ucyclyd in writing and such request shall include: (A) a copy of the term sheet or letter of intent as it relates to a proposed transaction with a Third Party (regardless of whether such transaction is proposed to be consummated by Hyperion directly with the Third Party or through an Affiliate of Hyperion); (B) if the Change in Control involves an Affiliate of Hyperion (and not a Third Party), a description of the proposed transaction with such Affiliate; (C) information reasonably sufficient for Ucyclyd to determine that the proposed successor to the transaction has the financial resources necessary for the proposed successor to fulfill the obligations of Hyperion (and the proposed successor) under the Agreement; and (D) such other information reasonably necessary for Ucyclyd’s assessment of the request for Change in Control (“Change in Control Request”).
                    (ii) During the period of **** following Ucyclyd’s receipt of the Change in Control Request (the “Initial Review Period”), (A) Ucyclyd shall review expeditiously the Change in Control Request, (B) the Parties shall collaborate to identify any additional information, that Ucyclyd reasonably requires to assess the Change in Control Request and (C) Hyperion expeditiously shall provide such requested information.
                    (iii) Within **** following the Initial Review Period, if Ucyclyd has not provided its consent in writing, Hyperion and Ucyclyd shall meet to discuss any additional information that Ucyclyd deems necessary to render its decision. If Ucyclyd does not request any additional information, Ucyclyd shall render a decision on the Change in Control Request within **** following the meeting. If Ucyclyd requests additional information reasonably required for Ucyclyd to render its decision, Hyperion shall provide such information expeditiously. After Hyperion provides all such information, which shall include a written notice from Hyperion that it has provided all such information pursuant to this subsection, Ucyclyd shall render a decision on the Change in Control Request within ****.
                    (iv) If Ucyclyd decides to withhold its consent, Ucyclyd shall notify Hyperion in writing of its decision, including the basis for withholding the consent, which Hyperion acknowledges may be based on the lack of sufficient information reasonably required by Ucyclyd to render its decision.
                    (v) The Parties acknowledge that, as a precondition to providing the information described above or requested by Ucyclyd as set forth above, the proposed successor may require that Ucyclyd enter into a confidentiality agreement directly with the proposed successor. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require a proposed successor to disclose (or permit disclosure of) information that the successor deems highly confidential without a confidentiality agreement in place directly with Ucyclyd. Upon a request to enter into a confidentiality agreement with the proposed successor, Ucyclyd agrees to enter into a confidentiality agreement containing reasonable terms and conditions as expeditiously as possible, in which case the time frames set forth above will be extended as applicable to account for any such request and the timing for the actual disclosure of such information.
 
****   Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 


 

          (f) If Hyperion disputes a decision by Ucyclyd to withhold consent under subsection (c), Hyperion shall notify Ucyclyd in writing that Hyperion disputes the withholding of the consent and is invoking the dispute resolution process under this subsection (e) (“Dispute Notice”) and the dispute shall be finally settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the Rules as follows:
                    (i) The dispute shall be resolved by a panel of three (3) arbitrators, one (1) of which shall be selected by each Party no later than **** following Ucyclyd’s receipt of the Dispute Notice; and third arbitrator shall be selected by the two (2) designated arbitrators no later than **** following the selection of the arbitrators by Hyperion and Ucyclyd. Hyperion and Ucyclyd shall request that the panel (A) convene the arbitration hearing as expeditiously as possible, but in any event within **** after the third arbitrator is selected on a date and at a time mutually agreed by the Parties and the arbiters and (B) render a decision within **** after the arbitration hearing.
                    (ii) The arbitration shall take place in Phoenix, Arizona.
                    (iii) Each Party shall submit a written summary of their position on the dispute to the panel within **** of the appointment of the third arbitrator.
                    (iv) No discovery shall occur with respect to the dispute unless the arbitration panel decides that discovery is required to resolve the dispute based on the nature of the issues before the panel, in which case any discovery shall be expeditiously conducted by the Parties.
                    (v) The Parties shall share the costs of the arbitration.
          (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of subsection (c), if during the Development Term a Change in Control Request is delivered by Hyperion to Ucyclyd during the effectiveness of the CIA, Ucyclyd shall have the right to determine in its sole discretion that the proposed successor is likely to have an adverse affect on Medicis’s or Ucyclyd’s obligations under the CIA and Ucyclyd shall have the right to not grant its consent to the Change in Control.
          (h) Following the Closing, Hyperion may assign or transfer the Agreement pursuant to and only pursuant to a Change in Control and then only subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this subsection (g) and no consent or approval of Ucyclyd is required. Prior to consummation of the transaction giving rise to the Change in Control, Hyperion shall pay Ucyclyd the following: (i) the amount equal to $**** less any previously paid portion of the Purchase Price; and (ii) all regulatory milestones for the indications under development by Hyperion, at the time of the Change in Control, for which a milestone would be payable as set forth in Section 2.1 (Regulatory Milestones) of Schedule 7 (Payment Obligations) that have not previously been paid by Hyperion, regardless of whether the actual event(s) corresponding to each such milestone has occurred; provided that such regulatory milestones shall be deemed paid in full and shall not be triggered by any future occurrence of the applicable actual event(s) and further provided if: (i) an indication was in

development at some time prior to the Change in Control; (ii) such indication was not in development at the time of the Change in Control; and (iii) development of such indication recommenced within **** following the Change in Control, the successor shall pay immediately to Ucyclyd the regulatory milestones applicable to such indication. For clarity and by way of example only, if Hyperion is not conducting any clinical development of GT4P in UCD, but is conducting clinical studies of GT4P in HE and Ammonul in HE at the time of the Change in Control, then any unpaid clinical milestones for GT4P in HE and Ammonul in HE would accelerate and be payable to Ucyclyd. Ucyclyd agrees that except as provided in subsection (h) herein, no assignment by Hyperion shall require paying monies (by Hyperion or the proposed successor) to Ucyclyd that are in addition to the amounts that Hyperion is required to pay to Ucyclyd under the Agreement.
          (i) Ucyclyd shall have the right to assign the Agreement, or any part thereof, at any time upon written notice to Hyperion. Any rights granted to Ucyclyd under the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any acquirer of, or successor in interest to, Ucyclyd, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase, operation of law or otherwise. In the event of such assignment to a Third Party that is not subject to the CIA, following the Closing of such a transaction by Ucyclyd, Hyperion may make a written request to the successor party to discuss with Hyperion amendments to Article 5 (Regulatory and Compliance Matters) consistent with the regulatory obligations of such successor party and such successor party agrees to discuss with Hyperion such proposed amendments.
          (j) A Party making a permitted assignment hereunder shall promptly notify the other Party of such assignment. Any purported assignment in contravention of this Section 16.14 (Assignment) shall be null and void and of no effect. No assignment shall release either Party from responsibility for the performance of any accrued obligation of such Party hereunder unless such assignment is made in connection with the sale of substantially all of the assets relating to this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and enforceable against the successor to or any permitted assignees from either of the Parties.
     16.15 Entire Agreement. The terms and conditions in the Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Parties relating to the subject matter of the Agreement and shall supersede all previous communications between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of the Agreement including (a) the Exclusivity Agreement; and (b) the Existing Confidentiality Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, all Confidential Information disclosed or otherwise generated in connection with the Confidentiality Agreement shall be subject to the confidentiality obligations under the Agreement. Except for Ucyclyd’s reliance upon the Financial Commitments, neither Party has entered into the Agreement in reliance upon any representation, warranty, covenant, or undertaking of the other Party that is not set forth or referred to in the Agreement.

****   Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 


 

      Developed Patents at the time of expiration of the **** Period or (B) the Manufacturing Patents issued or filed as of the Closing Date (provided that, prior to the Closing Date, Hyperion has disclosed to Ucyclyd all Manufacturing Technology in sufficient time so as to provide Ucyclyd the opportunity to pursue Manufacturing Patents), such payment obligations shall extend until **** (together with the **** Period, the “GT4P Payment Period”).
      (ii) If GT4P is approved by the FDA for an Other Indication following expiration of the GT4P Payment Period, then no payments under Section 3.1 (General) shall be due to Ucyclyd with respect to GT4P for use in such Other Indication.
3.4   Minimum Payments.
 
    (a) No later than **** prior to commercial launch of a Product for which Hyperion is obligated to make payments under Section 3.1 (General) and, thereafter, no later than **** prior to expiration of each Annual Period, Hyperion shall submit to Ucyclyd an annual sales forecast for the subsequent Annual Period for each product for which Hyperion is obligated to make payments under Section 3.1 (General) (“Minimum Sales Forecast”). If Ucyclyd disputes the Minimum Sales Forecast, Ucyclyd will notify Hyperion in writing within **** after receiving such Minimum Sales Forecast from Hyperion, and the Executive Sponsors shall meet and attempt to resolve such dispute promptly after Hyperion receives such written notification of dispute from Ucyclyd. If the Executive Sponsors cannot resolve such dispute within **** following Hyperion’s receipt of Ucyclyd’s written notification of such dispute, then such dispute shall be resolved as set forth in Article 15 (Dispute Resolution). The Parties acknowledge that factors outside Hyperion’s reasonable control (such as market conditions, competitive products or regulatory actions) may have an effect on the actual volume of sales in an Annual Period, and Hyperion shall have the right to amend the Minimum Sales Forecast for any Annual Period during which any such factors occur by providing Ucyclyd with written notice of such amendment. If Ucyclyd disputes such amendment, Ucyclyd shall notify Hyperion in writing and the Executive Sponsors shall meet and attempt to resolve such dispute. If the Executive Sponsors cannot resolve such dispute within **** following Ucyclyd’s notification of the dispute, then such dispute shall be resolved as set forth in Article 15 (Dispute Resolution).
 
    (b) Hyperion agrees that, during each Annual Period during the Term, with respect to each product for which Hyperion is obligated to make payments under Section 3.1 (General), Ucyclyd will receive minimum payments under Section 3.1 (General) equal to **** percent (****%) of the Minimum Sales Forecast, as amended pursuant to subsection (a) above if applicable (“Minimum Payments”). If the amounts paid to Ucyclyd under Section 3.1 (General) during an Annual Period with respect to each applicable product are less than the Minimum Payment for such Annual Period with respect to each applicable product, Hyperion shall pay Ucyclyd the difference between the Minimum Payments and the amounts paid within **** following the end of the applicable Annual Period. Any payments under Section 3.1 (General) that are in excess of any Minimum Payments due in an Annual Period shall not be applied against any future Minimum Payments that are or become due. The obligation to pay Minimum Payments shall continue with respect to each applicable product until such time as no payments remain under Section 3.3 (Duration of Ongoing Payment Obligations) with respect to each such Development Product.

4. Promotion Commission.
4.1   Calculation. In consideration for Hyperion’s Promotion of the Marketed Products in the Promotion Territory, during the Development Term, Ucyclyd shall pay Hyperion a commission for each Marketed Product that is determined as set forth below (“Commission”), it being the intent of the Parties that Hyperion be compensated for the increase in unit sales for each of the Marketed Products due to the Promotion efforts of Hyperion during the Development Term.
 
    (a) Subject to subsection (g) below, the Parties agree that the baseline units per calendar quarter for determining the Commission for each of the Marketed Products during an Annual Period during the Development Term is as follows:
                 
Marketed   Q1 Commission   Q2 Commission   Q3 Commission   Q4 Commission
Product   Period   Period   Period   Period
Ammonul
  ****   ****   ****   ****
Buphenyl Powder
  ****   ****   ****   ****
Buphenyl Tablets
  ****   ****   ****   ****
    (b) For each unit of the applicable Marketed Product sold above the baseline for such Marketed Product during the applicable Commission Period (each an “Incremental Unit” and collectively “Incremental Units”), Hyperion shall receive a Commission in an amount equal to **** percent (****%) of the Promotion Net Sales. “Promotion Net Sales” means the Incremental Units for each Marketed Product multiplied by the Average Selling Price for such Marketed Product.
 
    (c) The numbers set forth in subsection (a) above represent the number of units that must be sold by the end of each Commission Period during the applicable Annual Period before Hyperion may receive a Commission payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the numbers are cumulative and as described in the table above, Incremental Units sold in one calendar quarter shall be added to the baseline units for each subsequent calendar quarter during an Annual Period for purposes of establishing the applicable baseline for the calendar quarter. For example, by the end of Q2 during the applicable Annual Period, **** units of Ammonul **** must be sold before Hyperion may receive a Commission in Q2 based on Ammonul sales.
 
    (d) Subject to Section 4.3 (Duration of Commission Obligation), the calculation of the Commission is based on each calendar quarter during an Annual Period (each a “Commission Period”) and the baseline resets on **** of each Annual Period. In addition, there shall be no loss carryover from one Annual Period to a subsequent Annual Period.
 
    (e) If Hyperion is paid a Commission for a particular Commission Period but the baseline is not achieved for a subsequent Commission Period during the same Annual Period, Hyperion shall not be required to refund the Commission, or any part thereof, paid to Hyperion.
 
    (f) If Hyperion first becomes eligible for a Commission pursuant to Section 4.3 (Duration of Commission Obligation) on a date other than ****, the baseline shall commence with the Q1 Commission Period and be prorated for the Q1 Commission Period and any remaining Commission Periods during the then-current Annual Period by multiplying the applicable baseline units by the fraction resulting from dividing the number of days remaining in such Annual Period by 365 (or 366 for any leap year).
 
****   Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 


 

    (g) The Parties agree that (i) the baseline units set forth in subsection (a) above are calculated based on the **** as set forth in Attachment 1 to this Schedule 7 (Payment Obligations) and (ii) ****: (A) by Ucyclyd or its Affiliates directly; and (B) by Ucyclyd’s wholesale distributor, ****. The Parties shall attempt to validate the units sold for each of the Marketed Products during **** and **** by reviewing data that **** makes available to Ucyclyd with respect to actual units sold and returned for each of the Marketed Products. To the extent **** charges Ucyclyd for such data and such charge is not otherwise credited or reimbursed, Hyperion shall reimburse Ucyclyd for **** percent (****%) of the cost of such data with respect to **** and **** within **** following Hyperion’s receipt of an invoice from Ucyclyd. If the difference between (i) **** used to calculate the baseline for the applicable Marketed Products and (ii) the baseline units for the applicable Marketed Products as set forth in subsection (a) above is more than **** percent (****%), then following Hyperion’s request in writing to Ucyclyd, the Parties shall discuss, through the JSC, a reasonable adjustment to the baseline units set forth in subsection (a) for the applicable Marketed Product based on such data. If Hyperion does not request such a review by the JSC within **** following the date the data is made available to Hyperion, then this subsection (g) shall no longer apply and there shall be no adjustment of the baseline units.
 
    (h) An example of the calculation of the Commission is attached hereto as Attachment 2 to this Schedule 7 (Payment Obligations).
 
4.2   Payment of Commission. Ucyclyd shall pay to Hyperion the Commission, if any, within **** following the end of each Commission Period with the exception of the Commission due for the last Commission Period of each Annual Period, in which case Ucyclyd shall pay to Hyperion the Commission within **** following the end of the applicable Annual Period. Ucyclyd shall deliver any Commission to Hyperion with a report that describes the accounting of any allowed deductions from gross sales to arrive at the figures for Promotion Net Sales and the total Commission paid for such Commission Period.
 
4.3   Duration of Commission Obligation.
 
    (a) Subject to subsection (b) below, the calculation of the Commission and Ucyclyd’s obligation to pay the Commission shall commence on the first calendar day of the first calendar month following the month during which Hyperion commenced its Promotion activities under the Promotion Plan as permitted by Section 2.1 (Promotion of Marketed Products During the Development Term) of the Agreement, and shall remain in effect until the earlier of: (i) the end of the Term; and (ii) the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, Hyperion shall have no right to any Commission or other amounts for units sold on and after the earlier of: (iii) the expiration of the Term; and (iv) the Closing.
 
    (b) In the event that Hyperion exercises the rights under Section 2.2.9 (Approval of **** Prior to Closing) of the Agreement, Hyperion’s right to a Commission under this Section 4 (Promotion Commission) with respect to **** shall terminate as of the date of first sale of **** by Hyperion under Section 2.2.9 (Approval of **** Prior to Closing) of the Agreement.
 
****   Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Contemporaneously with this CIA, Medicis is entering into a Settlement Agreement with the United States.

          D. Review Procedures.
                    1. General Description.
a. Engagement of Independent Review Organization. Within 90 days after the Effective Date, Medicis shall engage an entity (or entities), such as an accounting, auditing, or consulting firm (hereinafter “Independent Review Organization” or “IRO”), to perform a Promotional and Product Services Engagement.
Each IRO engaged by Medicis shall have expertise in the requirements of the Federal health care program and FDA requirements applicable to the Promotional and Product Services Engagement. Each IRO shall assess, along with Medicis, whether it can perform the IRO review in a professionally independent and objective fashion, as appropriate to the nature of the engagement, taking into account any other business relationships or other engagements that may exist. The applicable requirements relating to the IRO are outlined in Appendix A to this CIA, which is incorporated by reference.
b. Description and Frequency of Promotions Review. The Promotional and Product Services Engagement shall consist of two components — a systems review (the Promotional and Product Services Systems Review) and a transactions review (Promotional and Product Services Transactions Review), as described more fully in Appendix B to this CIA, which is incorporated by reference.

11


 

The Promotional and Product Services Transactions Review shall be performed annually and shall cover each of the Reporting Periods. The IRO(s) shall perform all components of each of these annual Reviews.
If there are no material changes in Medicis’s systems, processes, policies, and practices relating to Product Services Related Functions, the IRO shall perform the Promotional and Product Services Systems Review for two Reporting Periods to be selected by the OIG. As set forth in Appendix B, if Medicis materially changes its systems, processes, policies, and practices relating to Product Services Related Functions, then the IRO shall perform a Promotional and Product Services Systems Review for the Reporting Period(s) in which such changes were made in addition to conducting the Review for the two Reporting Periods selected by the OIG.
The OIG will select the Reporting Periods in which the Systems Reviews shall be conducted based, in part, on information provided by Medicis about the size of Medicis, the nature of the functions undertaken by Medicis employees (e.g., sales and marketing activities, research activities, etc.), the number of products that Medicis is actively marketing, and other aspects of Medicis’s business. Medicis shall report such information to the OIG 90 days prior to the end of each Reporting Period. The OIG shall review the information submitted and shall notify Medicis at least 30 days prior to the end of each Reporting Period whether Medicis shall be required to retain an IRO to conduct a Systems Review in the next upcoming Reporting Period. The OIG will not require a Systems Review in the first Reporting Period.
c. Retention of Records. The IRO and Medicis shall retain and make available to OIG, upon request, all work papers, supporting documentation, correspondence, and draft reports (those exchanged between the IRO and Medicis) related to the reviews.

12


 

                    2. Review Reports. The IRO shall prepare a report based upon the Promotional and Product Services Systems Review and the Promotional and Product Services Transactions Review performed. Information to be included in each Report is described in Appendix B.
                    3. Validation Review. In the event that the OIG has reason to believe that: (a) any of Medicis’s IRO Reviews fail to conform to the requirements of this CIA; or (b) the IRO’s findings or Review results are inaccurate, OIG may, at its sole discretion, conduct its own review to determine whether the Review in question complied with the requirements of the CIA and/or the findings or Review results are inaccurate (Validation Review). Medicis shall pay for the reasonable cost of any such review performed by OIG or any of its designated agents. Any Validation Review of Reports submitted as part of Medicis’s final Annual Report must be initiated no later than one year after Medicis’s final submission (as described in Section II) is received by OIG.
          Prior to initiating a Validation Review, OIG shall notify Medicis of its intent to do so and provide a written explanation of why OIG believes such a review is necessary. To resolve any concerns raised by OIG, Medicis may request a meeting with OIG to: (a) discuss the results of any Review submissions or findings; (b) present any additional information to clarify the results of the Review in question or to correct the inaccuracy of the Review; and/or (c) propose alternatives to the proposed Validation Review. Medicis agrees to provide any additional information as may be requested by OIG under this Section in an expedited manner. OIG will attempt in good faith to resolve any IRO Review issues with Medicis prior to conducting a Validation Review. However, the final determination as to whether or not to proceed with a Validation Review shall be made at the sole discretion of OIG.
                    4. Independence/Objectivity Certification. The IRO shall include in its report(s) to Medicis a certification or sworn affidavit that it has evaluated its professional independence and objectivity, as appropriate to the nature of the engagement, with regard to the applicable Review and that it has concluded that it is, in fact, independent and objective.
          E. Disclosure Program.
          Prior to the Effective Date, Medicis established a Disclosure Program designed to facilitate communications related to compliance with Federal health care program requirements and FDA requirements and with Medicis’s policies (Disclosure Program). During the term of this CIA, Medicis shall maintain a

13


 

Disclosure Program that includes a mechanism (e.g., a toll-free compliance telephone line) to enable individuals to disclose, to the Compliance Officer or some other person who is not in the disclosing individual’s chain of command, any identified issues or questions associated with Medicis’s policies, conduct, practices, or procedures with respect to a Federal health care program or FDA requirement believed by the individual to be a potential violation of criminal, civil, or administrative law. Medicis shall appropriately publicize the existence of the disclosure mechanism (e.g., via periodic e-mails to employees or by posting the information in prominent common areas).
          The Disclosure Program shall continue to emphasize a nonretribution, nonretaliation policy, and shall include a reporting mechanism for anonymous communications for which appropriate confidentiality shall be maintained. Upon receipt of a disclosure, the Compliance Officer (or designee) shall gather all relevant information from the disclosing individual. The Compliance Officer (or designee) shall make a preliminary, good faith inquiry into the allegations set forth in every disclosure to ensure that he or she has obtained all of the information necessary to determine whether a further review should be conducted. For any disclosure that is sufficiently specific so that it reasonably: (1) permits a determination of the appropriateness of the alleged improper practice; and (2) provides an opportunity for taking corrective action, Medicis shall conduct an internal review of the allegations set forth in the disclosure and ensure that proper follow-up is conducted.
          The Compliance Officer (or designee) shall continue to maintain a disclosure log, which shall include a record and summary of each disclosure received (whether anonymous or not), the status of the respective internal reviews, and any corrective action taken in response to the internal reviews. The disclosure log shall be made available to OIG upon request.
          F. Ineligible Persons.
                    1. Definitions. For purposes of this CIA:
a. an “Ineligible Person” shall include an individual or entity who:
i. is currently excluded, debarred, suspended, or otherwise ineligible to participate in the Federal health care programs or in Federal procurement or nonprocurement programs; or

14


 

ii. has been convicted of a criminal offense that falls within the ambit of 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7(a), but has not yet been excluded, debarred, suspended, or otherwise declared ineligible.
b. “Exclusion Lists” include:
i. the HHS/OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (available through the Internet at http://www.oig.hhs.gov); and
ii. the General Services Administration’s List of Parties Excluded from Federal Programs (available through the Internet at http://www.epls.gov).
c. “Screened Persons” include prospective and current owners (other than shareholders who: (1) have an ownership interest of less than 5%; and (2) acquired the ownership interest through public trading), officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents of Medicis.
                    2. Screening Requirements. Medicis shall ensure that all Screened Persons are not Ineligible Persons, by implementing the following screening requirements:
a. Medicis shall screen all Screened Persons against the Exclusion Lists prior to engaging their services and, as part of the hiring or contracting process, shall require such Screened Persons to disclose whether they are Ineligible Persons.
b. Medicis shall screen all Screened Persons against the Exclusion Lists within 90 days after the Effective Date and on an annual basis thereafter.
c. Medicis shall implement a policy requiring all Screened Persons to disclose immediately any debarment, exclusion, suspension, or other event that makes that person an Ineligible Person.

15


 

          Nothing in this Section affects the responsibility of (or liability for) Medicis to refrain from billing Federal health care programs for items or services furnished, ordered, or prescribed by an Ineligible Person. Medicis understands that items or services furnished by excluded persons are not payable by Federal health care programs and that Medicis may be liable for overpayments and/or criminal, civil, and administrative sanctions for employing or contracting with an excluded person regardless of whether Medicis meets the requirements of Section III.F.
                    3. Removal Requirement. If Medicis has actual notice that a Screened Person has become an Ineligible Person, Medicis shall remove such Screened Person from responsibility for, or involvement with, Medicis’s business operations related to the Federal health care programs and shall remove such Screened Person from any position for which the Screened Person’s compensation or the items or services furnished, ordered, or prescribed by the Screened Person are paid in whole or part, directly or indirectly, by Federal health care programs or otherwise with Federal funds at least until such time as the Screened Person is reinstated into participation in the Federal health care programs.
                    4. Pending Charges and Proposed Exclusions. If Medicis has actual notice that a Screened Person is charged with a criminal offense that falls within the ambit of 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7(a), 1320a-7(b)(1)-(3), or is proposed for exclusion during the Screened Persons employment or contract term, Medicis shall take all appropriate actions to ensure that the responsibilities of that Screened Person have not and shall not adversely affect the quality of care rendered to any beneficiary, patient, or resident, or the accuracy of any claims submitted to any Federal health care program.
          G. Notification of Government Investigation or Legal Proceedings.
          Within 30 days after discovery, Medicis shall notify the OIG, in writing, of any ongoing investigation or legal proceeding known to Medicis conducted or brought by a governmental entity or its agents involving an allegation that Medicis has committed a crime or has engaged in fraudulent activities. This notification shall include a description of the allegation, the identity of the investigating or prosecuting agency, and the status of such investigation or legal proceeding. Medicis shall also provide written notice to the OIG within 30 days after the resolution of the matter, and shall provide the OIG with a description of the findings and/or results of the investigation or proceedings, if any.

16


 

          H. Reporting.
                    1. Definition of Reportable Event. For purposes of this CIA, a “Reportable Event” means anything that involves a matter that a reasonable person would consider a probable violation of criminal, civil, or administrative laws applicable to any Federal health care program, and/or applicable to any FDA requirements relating to the promotion of prescription drugs for which penalties or exclusion may be authorized. A Reportable Event may be the result of an isolated event or a series of occurrences.
                    2. Reporting of Reportable Events. If Medicis determines (after a reasonable opportunity to conduct an appropriate review or investigation of the allegation) through any means that there is a Reportable Event, Medicis shall notify OIG, in writing, within 30 days after making the determination that the Reportable Event exists. The report to the OIG shall include the following information:
a. a complete description of the Reportable Event, including the relevant facts, persons involved, and legal and Federal health care program and/or FDA authorities implicated;
b. a description of Medicis’s actions taken to correct the Reportable Event; and
c. any further steps Medicis plans to take to address the Reportable Event and prevent it from recurring.

          Within 30 days after the date of any written report, correspondence, or communication from Medicis to the FDA that materially discusses Medicis’s or a Covered Person’s unlawful or improper promotion of Medicis’s products (including any improper dissemination of information about off-label indications), Medicis shall provide a copy of the report, correspondence, or communication to the OIG. Medicis also shall provide written notice to the OIG within 30 days after the resolution of any such disclosed off-label matter, and shall provide the OIG with a description of the findings and/or results of the matter, if any.
          J.      Review of Records Reflecting the Content of Detailing Sessions.

17


 

          Each Reporting Period, Medicis shall obtain non-Medicis records (e.g., Verbatims or similar records) generated by an independent entity (Survey Entity) reflecting the purported content and subject matter of detailing interactions between sales representatives and HCPs for up to three Medicis products (Covered Product). In order to satisfy its obligations under this Section III.J, Medicis may propose that it obtain an alternative type of survey record (e.g., message recall studies) rather than the records of the detailing sessions. For each Covered Product, Medicis shall contract with the Survey Entity to conduct inquiries into the content and subject matter of the detailing interactions. The OIG shall select and notify the Survey Entity of a one week period within every other quarter of the Reporting Period for which the surveys are being conducted, beginning in the second full quarter after the Effective Date. For each Covered Product, Medicis shall obtain records reflecting the purported content and subject matter of detailing sessions during the identified week in all regions across the United States.
          Medicis shall review the records obtained and shall identify any instances in which the records appear to indicate that Covered Persons may have discussed and/or disseminated information about off-label uses of the Covered Products. Medicis shall make findings based on its review (Off-Label Findings) and shall take any responsive action it deems necessary. If necessary for purposes of its review, Medicis shall endeavor to gather additional factual information about the circumstances relating to any Off-Label Findings. As part of each Annual Report, Medicis shall provide the OIG with copies of the underlying records of the detailing interactions, a copy of Medicis’s Off-Label Findings, and a description of the action(s), if any, Medicis took in response to the Off-Label Findings.
IV.      New Business Units or Locations
          In the event that, after the Effective Date, Medicis changes locations or sells, closes, purchases, or establishes a new business unit or location related to the furnishing of items or services that may be reimbursed by Federal health care programs, Medicis shall notify OIG of this fact as soon as possible, but no later than within 30 days after the date of change of location, sale, closure, purchase, or establishment. This notification shall include the address of the new business unit or location, phone number, fax number, any Federal health care program provider identification number and/or supplier number, and the corresponding contractor’s name and address that has issued each Federal health care program provider number. Each new business unit or location shall be subject to all the requirements of this CIA.

The documentation supporting this certification shall be available to the OIG, upon request.
          D. Designation of Information. Medicis shall clearly identify any portions of its submissions that it believes are trade secrets, or information that is commercial or financial and privileged or confidential, and therefore potentially exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552. Medicis shall refrain from identifying any information as exempt from disclosure if that information does not meet the criteria for exemption from disclosure under FOIA.

With respect to such releases, Medicis shall have the rights set forth at 45 C.F.R. § 5.65(d).
X Breach and Default Provisions
Medicis is expected to fully and timely comply with all of its CIA obligations.
     A. Stipulated Penalties for Failure to Comply with Certain Obligations. As a contractual remedy, Medicis and OIG hereby agree that failure to comply with certain obligations as set forth in this CIA may lead to the imposition of the following monetary penalties (hereinafter referred to as “Stipulated Penalties”) in accordance with the following provisions.
1. A Stipulated Penalty of $2,500 (which shall begin to accrue on the day after the date the obligation became due) for each day Medicis fails to establish and implement any of the following obligations as described in Section III:
  a.   a Compliance Officer;
 
  b.   a Compliance Committee;
 
  c.   a written Code of Conduct;
 
  d.   written Policies and Procedures;
 
  e.   the training of Covered Persons;

26


 

  f.   a Disclosure Program;
 
  g.   Ineligible Persons screening and removal requirements;
 
  h.   Notification of Government investigations or legal proceedings;
 
  i.   notification of communications regarding off-label related matters; and
 
  j.   a review of records reflecting the content of detailing sessions.
          2. A Stipulated Penalty of $2,500 (which shall begin to accrue on the day after the date the obligation became due) for each day Medicis fails to engage an IRO, as required in Section III.D and Appendices A and B.
          3. A Stipulated Penalty of $2,500 (which shall begin to accrue on the day after the date the obligation became due) for each day Medicis fails to submit the Implementation Report or the Annual Reports to OIG in accordance with the requirements of Section V by the deadlines for submission.
          4. A Stipulated Penalty of $2,500 (which shall begin to accrue on the day after the date the obligation became due) for each day Medicis fails to submit the annual Report associated with any of the Reviews in accordance with the requirements of Section III.D and Appendix B.
          5. A Stipulated Penalty of $1,500 for each day Medicis fails to grant access to the information or documentation as required in Section VII. (This Stipulated Penalty shall begin to accrue on the date Medicis fails to grant access.)
          6. A Stipulated Penalty of $5,000 for each false certification submitted by or on behalf of Medicis as part of its Implementation Report, Annual Report, additional documentation to a report (as requested by the OIG), or otherwise required by this CIA.
          7. A Stipulated Penalty of $1,000 for each day Medicis fails to comply fully and adequately with any obligation of this CIA. OIG shall provide

27


 

notice to Medicis, stating the specific grounds for its determination that Medicis has failed to comply fully and adequately with the CIA obligation(s) at issue and steps Medicis shall take to comply with the CIA. (This Stipulated Penalty shall begin to accrue 10 days after Medicis receives this notice from OIG of the failure to comply.) A Stipulated Penalty as described in this Subsection shall not be demanded for any violation for which OIG has sought a Stipulated Penalty under Subsections 1-6 of this Section.
     B. Timely Written Requests for Extensions. Medicis may, in advance of the due date, submit a timely written request for an extension of time to perform any act or file any notification or report required by this CIA. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section, if OIG grants the timely written request with respect to an act, notification, or report, Stipulated Penalties for failure to perform the act or file the notification or report shall not begin to accrue until one day after Medicis fails to meet the revised deadline set by OIG. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section, if OIG denies such a timely written request, Stipulated Penalties for failure to perform the act or file the notification or report shall not begin to accrue until three business days after Medicis receives OIG’s written denial of such request or the original due date, whichever is later. A “timely written request” is defined as a request in writing received by OIG at least five business days prior to the date by which any act is due to be performed or any notification or report is due to be filed.
     C. Payment of Stipulated Penalties.
          1. Demand Letter. Upon a finding that Medicis has failed to comply with any of the obligations described in Section X.A and after determining that Stipulated Penalties are appropriate, OIG shall notify Medicis of: (a) Medicis’s failure to comply; and (b) OIG’s exercise of its contractual right to demand payment of the Stipulated Penalties (this notification is referred to as the “Demand Letter”).
          2. Response to Demand Letter. Within 10 days after the receipt of the Demand Letter, Medicis shall either: (a) cure the breach to OIG’s satisfaction and pay the applicable Stipulated Penalties; or (b) request a hearing before an HHS administrative law judge (ALJ) to dispute OIG’s determination of noncompliance, pursuant to the agreed upon provisions set forth below in Section X.E. In the event Medicis elects to request an ALJ hearing, the Stipulated Penalties shall continue to accrue until Medicis cures, to OIG’s satisfaction, the alleged breach in dispute. Failure to respond to the Demand Letter in one of these

28


 

two manners within the allowed time period shall be considered a material breach of this CIA and shall be grounds for exclusion under Section X.D.
          3. Form of Payment. Payment of the Stipulated Penalties shall be made by certified or cashier’s check, payable to: “Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services,” and submitted to OIG at the address set forth in Section VI.
          4. Independence from Material Breach Determination. Except as set forth in Section X.D.1.c, these provisions for payment of Stipulated Penalties shall not affect or otherwise set a standard for OIG’s decision that Medicis has materially breached this CIA, which decision shall be made at OIG’s discretion and shall be governed by the provisions in Section X.D, below.
D. Exclusion for Material Breach of this CIA.
1. Definition of Material Breach. A material breach of this CIA means:
a. a failure by Medicis to report a Reportable Event, take corrective action, and make the appropriate refunds, as required in Section III.H;
b. a repeated or flagrant violation of the obligations under this CIA, including, but not limited to, the obligations addressed in Section X.A;
c. a failure to respond to a Demand Letter concerning the payment of Stipulated Penalties in accordance with Section X.C; or
d. a failure to engage and use an IRO in accordance with Section III.D.
          2. Notice of Material Breach and Intent to Exclude. The parties agree that a material breach of this CIA by Medicis constitutes an independent basis for Medicis’s exclusion from participation in the Federal health care programs. Upon a determination by OIG that Medicis has materially breached this CIA and that exclusion is the appropriate remedy, OIG shall notify Medicis of: (a) Medicis’s material breach; and (b) OIG’s intent to exercise its contractual right to

29


 

impose exclusion (this notification is hereinafter referred to as the “Notice of Material Breach and Intent to Exclude”).
          3. Opportunity to Cure. Medicis shall have 30 days from the date of receipt of the Notice of Material Breach and Intent to Exclude to demonstrate to OIG’s satisfaction that:
a. Medicis is in compliance with the obligations of the CIA cited by OIG as being the basis for the material breach;
b. the alleged material breach has been cured; or
c. the alleged material breach cannot be cured within the 30- day period, but that: (I) Medicis has begun to take action to cure the material breach; (ii) Medicis is pursuing such action with due diligence; and (iii) Medicis has provided to OIG a reasonable timetable for curing the material breach.
          4. Exclusion Letter. If, at the conclusion of the 30-day period, Medicis fails to satisfy the requirements of Section X.D.3, OIG may exclude Medicis from participation in the Federal health care programs. OIG shall notify Medicis in writing of its determination to exclude Medicis (this letter shall be referred to hereinafter as the “Exclusion Letter”). Subject to the Dispute Resolution provisions in Section X.E, below, the exclusion shall go into effect 30 days after the date of Medicis’s receipt of the Exclusion Letter. The exclusion shall have national effect and shall also apply to all other Federal procurement and nonprocurement programs. Reinstatement to program participation is not automatic. After the end of the period of exclusion, Medicis may apply for reinstatement by submitting a written request for reinstatement in accordance with the provisions at 42 C.F.R. §§ 1001.3001-.3004.
E. Dispute Resolution
          1. Review Rights. Upon OIG’s delivery to Medicis of its Demand Letter or of its Exclusion Letter, and as an agreed-upon contractual remedy for the resolution of disputes arising under this CIA, Medicis shall be afforded certain review rights comparable to the ones that are provided in 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7(f) and 42 C.F.R. Part 1005 as if they applied to the Stipulated Penalties or exclusion sought pursuant to this CIA. Specifically, OIG’s determination to demand payment of Stipulated Penalties or to seek exclusion shall be subject to review by an HHS ALJ and, in the event of an appeal, the HHS Departmental Appeals Board

30


 

(DAB), in a manner consistent with the provisions in 42 C.F.R. § 1005.2-1005.21. Notwithstanding the language in 42 C.F.R. § 1005.2(c), the request for a hearing involving Stipulated Penalties shall be made within 10 days after receipt of the Demand Letter and the request for a hearing involving exclusion shall be made within 25 days after receipt of the Exclusion Letter.
          2. Stipulated Penalties Review. Notwithstanding any provision of Title 42 of the United States Code or Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the only issues in a proceeding for Stipulated Penalties under this CIA shall be: (a) whether Medicis was in full and timely compliance with the obligations of this CIA for which OIG demands payment; and (b) the period of noncompliance. Medicis shall have the burden of proving its full and timely compliance and the steps taken to cure the noncompliance, if any. OIG shall not have the right to appeal to the DAB an adverse ALJ decision related to Stipulated Penalties. If the ALJ agrees with OIG with regard to a finding of a breach of this CIA and orders Medicis to pay Stipulated Penalties, such Stipulated Penalties shall become due and payable 20 days after the ALJ issues such a decision unless Medicis requests review of the ALJ decision by the DAB. If the ALJ decision is properly appealed to the DAB and the DAB upholds the determination of OIG, the Stipulated Penalties shall become due and payable 20 days after the DAB issues its decision.
          3. Exclusion Review. Notwithstanding any provision of Title 42 of the United States Code or Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the only issues in a proceeding for exclusion based on a material breach of this CIA shall be:
a. whether Medicis was in material breach of this CIA;
b. whether such breach was continuing on the date of the Exclusion Letter; and
c. whether the alleged material breach could not have been cured within the 30-day period, but that: (I) Medicis had begun to take action to cure the material breach within that period; (ii) Medicis has pursued and is pursuing such action with due diligence; and (iii) Medicis provided to OIG within that period a reasonable timetable for curing the material breach and Medicis has followed the timetable.
     For purposes of the exclusion herein, exclusion shall take effect only after an ALJ decision favorable to OIG, or, if the ALJ rules for Medicis, only after a

31


 

DAB decision in favor of OIG. Medicis’s election of its contractual right to appeal to the DAB shall not abrogate OIG’s authority to exclude Medicis upon the issuance of an ALJ’s decision in favor of OIG. If the ALJ sustains the determination of OIG and determines that exclusion is authorized, such exclusion shall take effect 20 days after the ALJ issues such a decision, notwithstanding that Medicis may request review of the ALJ decision by the DAB. If the DAB finds in favor of OIG after an ALJ decision adverse to OIG, the exclusion shall take effect 20 days after the DAB decision. Medicis shall waive its right to any notice of such an exclusion if a decision upholding the exclusion is rendered by the ALJ or DAB. If the DAB finds in favor of Medicis, Medicis shall be reinstated effective on the date of the original exclusion.
          4. Finality of Decision. The review by an ALJ or DAB provided for above shall not be considered to be an appeal right arising under any statutes or regulations. Consequently, the parties to this CIA agree that the DAB’s decision (or the ALJ’s decision if not appealed) shall be considered final for all purposes under this CIA.
XI. Effective and Binding Agreement
     Consistent with the provisions in the Settlement Agreement pursuant to which this CIA is entered, Medicis and OIG agree as follows:
     A. This CIA shall be binding on the successors, assigns, and transferees of Medicis;
     B. This CIA shall become final and binding on the date the final signature is obtained on the CIA;
     C. Any modifications to this CIA shall be made with the prior written consent of the parties to this CIA;
     D. The undersigned Medicis signatories represent and warrant that they are authorized to execute this CIA. The undersigned OIG signatory represents that he is signing this CIA in his official capacity and that he is authorized to execute this CIA.

A. IRO Engagement
     Medicis shall engage an IRO that possesses the qualifications set forth in Paragraph B, below, to perform the responsibilities in Paragraph C, below. The IRO shall conduct the review in a professionally independent and objective fashion, as set forth in Paragraph D.
