(d)        Royalty Adjustments.  Reductions of Royalty Rates and deductions from Royalty Payments made under this Section 5.3(d) are referred to collectively as “Royalty Adjustments.”  Subject to the last clause of Section 5.3(d)(ii), each of the following royalty adjustment mechanisms shall operate independently, and either or both may apply to a given Licensed Product in a particular country if a Royalty Payment is owed with respect to such Licensed Product in such country:

 

(i)         if (A) one or more Third Parties (other than a Genentech Affiliate), without a license from Genentech (or a Sublicensee), sells a product that contains a compound that is the same as a Compound contained in a given Licensed Product sold by Genentech (or a Sublicensee) in a particular country (for purposes of this Section 5.3(d)(i), each such product, a “Generic Competitor”) and (B) the quarterly Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country decrease to less than [ * ] of the Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country in the calendar quarter prior to the first commercial sale of the first Generic Competitor in such country (for purposes of this Section 5.3(d)(i), the “Generic Threshold Net Sales”), the Royalty Rate for such Licensed Product in such country shall be reduced to[ * ] for as long as quarterly Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country are less than the Generic Threshold Net Sales (and a Royalty Payment is otherwise owed to Array); and

Article 6
Financial Reports, Audits and Other Financial Provisions

 

6.1       Calculation of Net Sales.

 

(a)        General.  The determination of Sales and Net Sales (including deductions and adjustments used to calculate such amounts) shall, in all cases, be determined in accordance with the applicable Accounting Standard.

 

(b)        Definition of Sales.  Sales” of a Licensed Product means, in a given period, the amounts stated in the “Sales” line (or its equivalent, regardless of description) of Genentech’s (or a Sublicensees’) (externally published, if applicable) audited financial statements with respect to such Licensed Product for such period (or, if audited financial statements are not prepared for such period, the corresponding amount as reasonably determined for unaudited financial statements for such period, which amounts, and associated royalties and reports, shall be reconciled with an audited financial statement at such time as an audited financial statement for a period covering such period is prepared).  This amount reflects the gross invoice price at which such Licensed Product was sold or otherwise disposed of (other than for use as clinical supplies or free samples) by Genentech and Sublicensees to Third Parties (other than Affiliates and Sublicensees) in such period, reduced by gross-to-net deductions, if not previously deducted from such invoiced amount.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a reserve amount, accrual or other amount is deducted in determining Sales for a given period and then subsequently adjusted in a later period in a manner that would have increased Sales if the adjustment had been made in the applicable period, incremental royalties on the resulting increase will be due when such adjustment is made.

 

(c)        Definition of Net Sales.  Net Sales” of a Licensed Product means, in a given period, the amount calculated by deducting from the Sales of such Licensed Product for such period the following deductions (individually and collectively, “Sales Deductions”): (x) a lump sum deduction of four percent (4%) of Sales in lieu of those deductions that are not accounted for within Genentech (or its Sublicensees) on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis (e.g., freight, postage charges, transportation insurance, packing materials for dispatch of goods, custom duties); (y) uncollectible amounts and credit card charges (including processing fees) accrued during such period on such Sales and not already taken as a gross-to-net deduction in accordance with the Accounting Standard in the calculation of Sales of such Licensed Product for such period; and (z) government mandated fees and taxes and other government charges accrued during such period on such Sales not already taken as a gross-to-net deduction in accordance with the Accounting Standard in the calculation of Sales of such Licensed Product for such period, including, for example, any fees, taxes or other charges that become due in connection with any healthcare reform, change in government pricing or discounting schemes, or

other action of a government or regulatory body.  By way of example, and not limitation, the following items may be deducted only if, and to the extent, such items are part of Genentech’s (or its Sublicensees’) gross-to-net deductions taken in determining the “Sales” line of its audited financial statements as described in Section 6.1(b):

 

(i)         credits, reserves or allowances granted for (A) damaged, outdated, returned, rejected, withdrawn or recalled Licensed Product; (B) wastage replacement and short-shipments; (C) billing errors; and (D) indigent patient and similar programs (e.g., price capitation);

(iv)       customer rebates, including cash sales incentives for prompt payment, cash and volume discounts; and

 

(v)        taxes, duties and any other governmental charges or levies imposed upon or measured by the import, export, use, manufacture or sale of a Licensed Product (excluding income or franchise taxes).

 

(d)        Sales Among Affiliates and Sublicensees.  Sales between or among Genentech, its Affiliates and/or their respective Sublicensees shall be excluded from the computation of Sales, but Sales shall include the first sales to Third Parties by any such Affiliates or Sublicensees.

 

(e)        Supply as Samples/Test Materials.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the definition of Sales or Net Sales, the supply or other disposition of Licensed Products (i) as samples; (ii) for use in non-clinical or clinical studies; (iii) for use in any tests or studies reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or request by a regulatory or governmental authority; or (iv) as is otherwise reasonable and customary in the industry to supply or dispose of without payment, in each case, shall be excluded from the computation of Sales or Net Sales.

 

(f)        Licensed Products Sold in Combinations.

 

(i)         In the event that a Licensed Product is sold in combination (in the same package, including as a co-formulation, or otherwise sold together for a single price) with one or more other active ingredients that are not the subject of this Agreement (for purposes of this Section 6.1(f), a “Combination”), the Sales for such Licensed Product shall be calculated by multiplying the Sales for such Combination by the fraction A/(A+B), where “A” is the unit Sales

for such Licensed Product sold separately and “B” is the unit Sales for such other active ingredient(s) sold separately, in each case in comparable doses.

 

(ii)        In the event that such other active ingredient(s) are not sold separately (but such Licensed Product is), the Sales for such Licensed Product shall be calculated by multiplying the Sales for such Combination by the fraction A/C, where “A” is the unit Sales for such Licensed Product, and “C” is the unit Sales for the Combination, in each case in comparable doses.

 

(iii)       In the event that such Licensed Product is not sold separately, Net Sales for royalty calculations shall be determined based on an apportionment to reflect the relative value of such Licensed Product and the one or more other active ingredients in such Combination, as agreed by the Parties (and, if the Parties do not reach an agreement on such apportionment, the Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the Dispute Resolution Provisions.

 

6.2       Royalty Reports. With each Royalty Payment, Genentech shall provide to Array, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, the following information for the applicable calendar (“Royalty Report”):

 

(a)  Sales in Swiss Francs (“CHF”), on a country-by-country basis;

 

(b)  adjustments in CHF made to Sales, on a country-by-country basis, to account for Licensed Products sold in a Combination, as defined in and pursuant to Section 6.1(f);

 

(c)  each Sales Deduction to calculate Net Sales, pursuant to the definition of Net Sales;

 

(d)  Net Sales in CHF, on a country-by-country basis;

(j)   exchange rate used to convert Net Sales from CHF to USD, pursuant to Section 6.3(c) (which shall be the same exchange rate used to convert USD to CHF, in the event any amounts have been converted from USD to CHF in determining Sales or Net Sales for the applicable period).

 

6.3       Payment Related Provisions.

 

(a)        Timing of Payments.  Milestone Payments shall be due within thirty (30) days of Genentech’s receipt of an invoice for such payment.  Royalty Payments shall be due, on a calendar quarterly basis, ninety (90) days after the end of any calendar quarter for which Genentech has an obligation to make Royalty Payments.

 

(b)        Mode of Payment.  All payments under this Agreement shall be made in immediately available funds by wire transfer to a United States based account to be identified by the payee.

 

(c)        Currency of Payments.  All payments under this Agreement shall be made in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.  Net Sales outside of the United States shall be first determined in the currency in which they are earned and shall then be converted into an amount in U.S. dollars as follows: (i) with respect to sales by or on behalf of Genentech, using Genentech’s customary and usual conversion procedures, consistently applied and (ii) with respect to sales by or on behalf of a given Sublicensee, using the conversion procedures applicable to payments by such Sublicensee to Genentech for such sales.

 

(d)        Blocked Currency.  If, at any time, legal restrictions prevent Genentech (or a Sublicensee) from remitting part or all of Royalty Payments when due with respect to any country in the Territory where Licensed Products are sold, Genentech shall continue to provide Royalty Reports for such Royalty Payments, and such Royalty Payments shall continue to accrue in such country, but Genentech shall not be obligated to make such Royalty Payments until such time as payment may be made through reasonable, lawful means or methods that may be available, as Genentech shall determine.

 

(e)        Taxes.  Each Party shall comply with applicable laws and regulations regarding filing and reporting for income tax purposes.  Neither Party shall treat their relationship under this Agreement as a pass through entity for tax purposes.  All payments made under this Agreement shall be free and clear of any and all taxes, duties, levies, fees or other charges, except for withholding taxes.  Each Party shall be entitled to deduct from its payments to the other Party under this Agreement the amount of any withholding taxes required to be withheld, to the extent paid to the appropriate governmental authority on behalf of the other

(a)        Records.  Genentech shall keep complete and accurate records for a period of at least two (2) years for each reporting period during which Royalty Payments are due, showing sales of Licensed Products and applicable deductions in sufficient detail to enable Royalty Reports to be verified.

 

(b)        Audits.  Array shall have the right to request that Royalty Reports it receives be verified by an independent and internationally recognized certified public accounting firm (for purposes of Section 6.4, the “CPA Firm”) selected by Array (for purposes of Section 6.4, the “Auditing Party”) and acceptable to Genentech (for purposes of Section 6.4, the “Audited Party”), such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld.  The foregoing audit right shall not be exercised more than once in any calendar year or more frequently than once with respect to records covering any specific period of time; provided, however, in the event of a Dispute between the Parties with respect to payments under this Agreement, such limitations on the audit right shall not be construed as a limitation on discovery that would be otherwise available to the Auditing Party in connection with such Dispute, which shall be resolved in accordance with the Dispute Resolution Provisions.  Subject to Section 6.4(c), the Audited Party shall, upon reasonable advance notice and at a mutually agreeable time during its regular business hours, make its records available for audit by the CPA Firm at such place or places where such records are customarily kept, solely for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of the reports being verified and the related payments due under this Agreement.

 

(c)        Confidentiality.  Prior to any audit under Section 6.4(b), the CPA Firm shall enter into a written confidentiality agreement with the Audited Party that (i) limits the CPA Firm’s use of the Audited Party’s records to the verification purpose described in Section 6.4(b); (ii) limits the information that the CPA Firm may disclose to the Auditing Party to whether the payments made accurately reflect the payments due under this Agreement and, if there is a discrepancy, the amount of such discrepancy; and (iii) prohibits the disclosure of any information contained in such records to any Third Party for any purpose.  The Parties agree that all information subject to review under Section 6.4(b) and/or provided by the CPA Firm to the Auditing Party is the Audited Party’s Confidential Information, and the Auditing Party shall not use any such information for any purpose that is not germane to Section 6.4.

(a)        General.  Each Party shall maintain insurance coverage as set forth in Section 13.3 at its own cost; provided, however, Genentech has the right, in its sole discretion, to self-insure, in part or in whole, for any such coverage.  The insurance policies for such coverage shall be an occurrence form, but if only a claims-made form is available to a Party, such Party shall maintain such coverage for at least five (5) years after such Party has no further obligations under this Agreement.  Insurance coverage shall be primary insurance with respect to each Party’s own participation under this Agreement and shall be maintained with an insurance company or companies having an A.M. Best’s rating (or its equivalent) of A-VII or better.  On written request, each Party shall provide to the other Party certificates of insurance evidencing the insurance coverage required under Section 13.3.  Each Party shall provide to the other Party at least thirty (30) days’ notice of any cancellation, nonrenewal or material change in any of the required insurance coverages.

 

(b)        Commercial General Liability Insurance.  Each Party shall maintain commercial general liability insurance (including contractual liability, personal advertising and products/completed operations coverage) with limits not less than [ * ].  Each Party shall name the other Party as an additional insured by endorsement under its commercial general liability insurance.

 

(c)        Products Liability Insurance.  Commencing not later than thirty (30) days prior to the first use in humans of the Clinical Materials (ARRY-575) in a clinical trial conducted by or on behalf of Genentech, Array shall have and maintain such type and amounts of products liability insurance covering such use of the Clinical Materials (ARRY-575) as is normal and customary in the industry generally for parties similarly situated, but, in any event,

Article 14
Dispute Resolution

 

14.1     Internal Resolution. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any Disputes shall be first referred to a Genentech Vice President and the Chief Executive Officer of Array for resolution, prior to proceeding under the other provisions of Article 14.  A Dispute shall be referred to such executives upon one Party providing the other Party with notice that such Dispute exists, and such executives (or their designees) shall attempt to resolve such Dispute through good faith discussions.  In the event that such Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of such other Party’s receipt of such notice, subject to Section 14.3, either Party may initiate the Dispute resolution provisions in Section 14.2.  The Parties agree that any discussions between such executives (or their designees) regarding such Dispute do not constitute settlement discussions, unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing.

 

14.2     Arbitration.

 

(a)        Rules.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including under Section 14.3), the Parties agree that any Dispute not resolved internally by the Parties pursuant to Section 14.1 shall be resolved through binding arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the then prevailing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (for purposes of Article 14, the “Rules”), except as modified in this Agreement, applying the substantive law specified in Section 15.2.

 

(b)        Arbitrators; Location.  Each Party shall select one (1) arbitrator, and the two (2) arbitrators so selected shall choose a third arbitrator.  All three (3) arbitrators shall serve as neutrals and have at least ten (10) years of (i) dispute resolution experience (which may include judicial experience) or (ii) legal or business experience in the biotech or pharmaceutical industry.  In any event, at least one (1) arbitrator shall satisfy the foregoing experience requirement under clause (ii).  If a Party fails to nominate its arbitrator, or if the Parties’ arbitrators cannot agree on the third arbitrator, the necessary appointments shall be made in accordance with the Rules.  Once appointed by a Party, such Party shall have no ex parte communication with its appointed arbitrator.  The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in San Francisco if Array initiates the arbitration or in Denver, Colorado if Genentech initiates the arbitration.

(c)        General Procedures; Awards.  Each Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to make all of its current employees available, if reasonably needed, and agrees that the arbitrators may deem any party as “necessary.”  The arbitrators shall be instructed and required to render a written, binding, non-appealable resolution and award on each issue that clearly states the basis upon which such resolution and award is made.  The written resolution and award shall be delivered to the Parties as expeditiously as possible, but in no event more than ninety (90) days after conclusion of the hearing, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties.  Judgment upon such award may be entered in any competent court or application may be made to any competent court for judicial acceptance of such an award and order for enforcement.  Each Party agrees that, notwithstanding any provision of applicable law or of this Agreement, it will not request, and the arbitrators shall have no authority to award, punitive or exemplary damages against any Party.

 

(d)        Specific Procedures for a Product Enablement Package/License.  In addition to the other Dispute Resolution Provisions, with respect to Disputes arising under Section 11.4(c)(iii): (i) each Party shall prepare a written report setting forth its position with respect to the financial terms and conditions under which Genentech shall provide the Product Enablement Package and grant the associated license to Array, together with supporting documents or affidavits as such Party deems appropriate; (ii) the arbitrators shall not order nor require discovery against either Party; and (iii) the arbitrators shall select one of the Party’s positions as their decision, and shall not have authority to render any substantive decision other than to so select the position of either Genentech or Array.

 

(e)        Costs.  The “prevailing” Party, as determined by the arbitrators, shall be entitled to (i) its share of fees and expenses of the arbitrators and (ii) its attorneys’ fees and associated costs and expenses.  In determining which Party “prevailed,” the arbitrators shall consider (i) the significance, including the financial impact, of the claims prevailed upon and (ii) the scope of claims prevailed upon, in comparison to the total scope of the claims at issue.  If the arbitrators determine that, given the scope of the arbitration, neither Party “prevailed,” the arbitrators shall order that the Parties (i) share equally the fees and expenses of the arbitrators and (ii) bear their own attorneys’ fees and associated costs and expenses.

 

(f)        Interim Equitable Relief.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 14.2 in the event that a Party reasonably requires relief on a more expedited basis than would be possible pursuant to the procedure set forth in Article 14, such Party may seek a temporary injunction or other interim equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction pending the opportunity of the arbitrators to review the decision under Section 14.2.  Such court shall have no jurisdiction or ability to resolve Disputes beyond the specific issue of temporary injunction or other interim equitable relief.

ARRAY ANNOUNCES NEW ONCOLOGY AGREEMENT WITH GENENTECH

 

Boulder, Colo., (August X, 2011) –Array BioPharma (Nasdaq: ARRY) today announced an oncology agreement with Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY), for the development of each company’s small-molecule Checkpoint kinase 1 (ChK-1) program.  The programs include Genentech’s compound GDC-0425 (RG7602), currently in Phase 1, and Array’s compound ARRY-575, which is being prepared for an investigational new drug application to initiate a Phase 1 trial in cancer patients.

 

Under the terms of the agreement, Genentech is responsible for all clinical development and commercialization activities.  Array will receive an upfront payment of $28 million and is eligible to receive clinical and commercial milestone payments up to $685 million and up to double-digit royalties on sales of any resulting drugs.  Full financial terms have not been disclosed.

 

“We’re delighted to expand our long-standing relationship with Genentech, a leading innovator of important new cancer therapies,” said Robert E. Conway, chief executive officer, Array BioPharma.  “Combining both companies’ programs will maximize our chances for success in developing and commercializing this novel cancer therapy. We believe ChK-1 inhibition is a key strategy for enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapeutic and other agents in cancer patients.”

 

ChK-1 is a protein kinase that regulates the tumor cell’s response to DNA damage often caused by treatment with chemotherapy.  In response to DNA damage, ChK-1 blocks cell cycle progression in order to allow for repair of damaged DNA, thereby limiting the efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents.  Inhibiting ChK-1 in combination with chemotherapy can enhance tumor cell death by preventing these cells from recovering from DNA damage. Both GDC-0425 and ARRY-575 are highly selective, oral ChK-1 inhibitors designed to enhance the efficacy of some chemotherapeutic agents.

Genentech and Array Relationship

 

Genentech and Array have worked together since 2004 to advance certain oncology programs into clinical development.  In 2010, one resulting drug, GDC-0068, an AKT inhibitor, entered Phase 1 clinical testing.  GDC-0068 is currently advancing into a Phase 1b trial.  Array researchers continue to advance other preclinical programs under Array’s collaboration agreement with Genentech.

Array BioPharma Forward-Looking Statement

 

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements about our potential to earn future milestone and royalty payments under our agreement with Genentech, the potential for the results of preclinical and clinical trials to support regulatory approval or the marketing success of a drug candidate and future plans to progress and develop ARRY-575 and other compounds covered by the License Agreement. These statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in our most recent annual report filed on form 10-K, in our quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q, and in other reports filed by Array with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because these statements reflect our current expectations concerning future events, our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, our ability to continue to fund and successfully progress internal research and development efforts and to create effective, commercially viable drugs; the ability of Array and our collaborators to effectively and timely conduct clinical trials in light of increasing costs and difficulties in locating appropriate trial sites and in enrolling patients who meet the criteria for certain clinical trials; risks associated with dependence on third-party service providers to successfully conduct clinical trials within and outside the United States; our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and maintain sufficient cash resources; risks associated with our dependence on our collaborators for the clinical development and commercialization of our out-licensed drug candidates; the ability of our collaborators and of Array BioPharma Inc. to meet objectives tied to milestones and royalties; our ability to attract and retain experienced scientists and management. We are providing this information as of August X, 2011. We undertake no duty to
