(“VIVUS”) that: (i) Auxilium was terminating the License and Commercialization Agreement (the “License Agreement”), by and between Auxilium and VIVUS; and (ii) Endo Ventures was terminating the related Commercial Supply Agreement (the “Supply Agreement” and, together with the License Agreement, the “VIVUS Agreements”), by and between Endo Ventures (by assignment from Auxilium) and VIVUS. The effective date of the termination is June 30, 2016. Auxilium and Endo Ventures are terminating the VIVUS Agreements in accordance with their terms and the termination will not give rise to any early termination fees or penalties.
Under the License Agreement, Auxilium has the exclusive right to commercialize VIVUS’s pharmaceutical product STENDRA® (avanafil) for the treatment of any urological disease or condition in humans, including male erectile dysfunction, in the U.S. and Canada and their respective territories. During the term of the License Agreement, royalty payments are payable to VIVUS based on tiered percentages of the aggregate annual net sales of STENDRA®. The royalty payments may increase with the achievement of specified thresholds of aggregate annual net sales of the product and may decrease with the entry of a generic product to the market.
Pursuant to the related Commercial Supply Agreement, VIVUS exclusively supplies and manufactures STENDRA®, directly or through one or more third party subcontractors, for Endo Ventures. Endo Ventures pays to VIVUS its manufacturing cost plus a certain percentage mark up for each unit of STENDRA®.
A copy of the notice of termination is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
