2.1.6 Although it is intended by the Parties that the applicable Party (or its Affiliates or permitted Sublicensees) shall perform the Manufacturing Activities for their respective territory (and, pursuant to the Second Source Agreement, for the other Party’s territory) at such Party’s respective manufacturing facilities, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) certain Manufacturing Activities (for example, analytical, formulation, finishing, labeling, packaging, and such other activities that, in the pharmaceutical industry, are typically subcontracted, collectively, “Typically Sub-Contracted Manufacturing Activities”) are expected to be performed by subcontractors to the applicable Party, and (b) if in Coronado’s reasonable judgment, Coronado determines that Manufacturing Activities in addition to Typically Sub-Contracted Manufacturing Activities should also be performed by a third party contractor, Coronado shall so advise Ovamed of the basis for and the Parties shall discuss such determination. For clarification, in the event Manufacturing Activities are so conducted by a third party contractor other than Ovamed, (i) the determination of any Manufacturing Fee payable by Coronado in accordance with Article 4.7 of the Sublicense Agreement shall include Products included in Net Sales that are manufactured by such third party contractor; and (ii) such third party contractor shall be subject to confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those between the Parties and shall provide Coronado with rights (including sublicense rights) to Manufacturing Patent Rights claiming Inventions discovered, developed, conceived or reduced to practice as a result of such Manufacturing Activities conducted by such third party contractor.

2.2 Technology Transfer. Ovamed shall provide the following to enable Coronado to submit to the FDA the CMC Amendment and to assume Manufacturing Activities at the US Facility (the “Technology Transfer”):

2.2.1 As soon as practicable after the Second Amendment Effective Date, but no later than thirty (30) days after the Second Amendment Effective Date, Ovamed shall provide and transfer to Coronado via an electronic data room the Technical Information. If, in Coronado’s reasonable judgment, the Technical Information is not sufficient to enable Coronado to submit to the FDA or obtain FDA approval of the CMC Amendment or to assume Manufacturing Activities at the US Facility, Ovamed shall, upon reasonable request of Coronado, provide such further information, documentation and materials in Ovamed’s possession as may be reasonably necessary to submit to the FDA or obtain FDA approval of the CMC Amendment and to enable Coronado to assume Manufacturing Activities at the US Facility. To the extent not in the possession of Ovamed but in the possession of subcontractors of Ovamed, Ovamed shall use commercially reasonable efforts to procure that its subcontractors provide test methods and validation reports so required.

2.2.2 Ovamed shall provide Coronado reasonable time to consult with Ovamed’s technical personnel and to observe each of their performance of such activities in actual practice, and make available to Coronado at the US Facility knowledgeable Ovamed personnel familiar with Manufacturing Activities and CMC issues, both during the transfer and for a period of six (6) months after the Manufacturing Assumption Date, at mutually agreeable times. Coronado shall reimburse Ovamed for approved travel and other out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Ovamed in making such Ovamed personnel available at the US Facility at Coronado’s request. Further, should the consulting time (whether at the US Facility or otherwise, excluding travelling time) requested by Coronado and provided by Ovamed exceed an aggregate total of 100 hours, Coronado shall pay to Ovamed a reasonable fee for the respective personnel at hourly rates to be

 

7


mutually agreed in good faith. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing fee shall not apply with respect to Services provided under the Consulting Agreement provided for under Paragraph 2.4 of this Second Amendment. Ovamed shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause ParaTech to provide Coronado and/or its designee with such access to such personnel and activities as may be required for Coronado to assume Manufacturing Activities at the US Facility.

2.2.3 Coronado shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) submit the CMC Amendment to the FDA as soon as practicable after Ovamed’s providing the Technical Information and shall provide a copy of such CMC Amendment to Ovamed for use by Ovamed in performing Manufacturing Activities in accordance with the Second Source Agreement, and (ii) assume the Manufacturing Activities at the US Facility identified in the Lease as soon as practicable thereafter and as legally permissable.

2.2.4 For the avoidance of doubt, all Technical Information and other information, documentation and other materials furnished or made available by Ovamed to Coronado in connection with the Technology Transfer shall be treated as Confidential Information of Ovamed.

2.3 Cross-Licenses to Inventions and Manufacturing Patent Rights. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 2.5 of this Second Amendment and the Second Source Agreement and to each Party’s rights and obligations under the Collaboration Agreement (which, to the extent inconsistent or in conflict with any of the provisions of this Paragraph 2.3 shall control), (a) Ovamed hereby grants to Coronado the exclusive right and license (with the right to grant sublicenses) to and under Ovamed’s right, title and interest in any (i) Inventions existing as of the Effective Date or discovered, developed, conceived or reduced to practice thereafter (hereinafter, “Created”) solely by Ovamed (including by any employees or consultants of Ovamed or agents or sub-contractors of Ovamed that have contractually agreed to assign or license with sub-licensing rights to Ovamed their interests in Inventions and intellectual property rights claiming Inventions), and (ii) Manufacturing Patent Rights (including rights thereto licensed to Ovamed), to make, have made, use, have used, lease, import, offer to sale, sell and/or have sold (including to practice and have practiced the Licensed Processes) Licensed Product and Product for the Territory, and (b) Coronado hereby grants to Ovamed the exclusive right and license (with the right to grant sublicenses) to and under Coronado’s right, title and interest in any (i) Inventions existing as of the Effective Date or Created solely by Coronado (including by any employees or consultants of Coronado or agents or sub-contractors of Coronado that have contractually agreed to assign or sub-license with sub-licensing rights to Coronado, including under the Consulting Agreement, their interests in Inventions and intellectual property rights claiming Inventions), and (ii) Manufacturing Patent Rights (including rights thereto licensed to Coronado), to make, have made, use, have used, lease, import, offer to sale, sell and/or have sold (including to practice and have practiced the Licensed Processes) Licensed Product and Product for the Ex-Territory. The Parties acknowledge that Inventions Created jointly by the Parties shall, to the extent applicable, be subject to and governed by the Collaboration Agreement.

2.3.1 Inventorship for patentable Inventions Created on or after the Effective Date shall be determined in accordance with the patent laws of the country in which the patent application is filed (but at a minimum, in accordance with an individual’s inventive contribution to a claimed Invention) and, except as specifically set forth in this Second Amendment

or the Collaboration Agreement, ownership of all such Inventions shall flow from such inventorship determination.

2.3.2 At its sole discretion, the owner of an Invention shall have the initial right to file, prosecute, and maintain Manufacturing Patent Rights thereon in such countries worldwide as it may determine. The Party having such initial right to prosecute and maintain Manufacturing Patent Rights is referred to as the “Prosecuting Party”. The Party that is not the Prosecuting Party shall reimburse the Prosecuting Party for patent costs (comprising the reasonable direct fees and expenses actually paid by the Prosecuting Party to Third Parties, including attorneys and patent offices, that are specifically identifiable and incurred for the filing, prosecution, and maintenance of the specified Manufacturing Patent Rights in accordance with the terms of this Second Amendment) for Manufacturing Patent Rights in the non-Prosecuting Party’s territory, upon submission of appropriate invoices therefor. Subject to Paragraphs 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 below, if a non-Prosecuting Party elects not to reimburse the Prosecuting Party for such patent costs in a particular country in such non-Prosecuting Party’s territory, the respective Manufacturing Patent Right shall no longer be licensed under Section 2.3 to said non-Prosecuting Party in such country and any such license previously granted shall immediately terminate.

2.3.3 If the Prosecuting Party elects not to file, prosecute or maintain any Manufacturing Patent Rights in any country of the non-Prosecuting Party’s territory, the Prosecuting Party shall so inform the non-Prosecuting Party with written advance notice sufficient to avoid any loss or forfeiture, and the Prosecuting Party shall enable the non-Prosecuting Party at the non-Prosecuting Party’s request, and in that case the non-Prosecuting Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to file, prosecute and maintain any such Manufacturing Patent Rights in such country of the non-Prosecuting Party’s territory as it may determine at its own expense and discretion. In such event, at the non-Prosecuting Party’s request, the Prosecuting Party shall assign such Manufacturing Patent Right to the non-Prosecuting Party, and such Manufacturing Patent Right shall no longer be deemed a Manufacturing Patent Right of the original Prosecuting Party in such country, and the original non-Prosecuting Party shall be deemed the Prosecuting Party for purposes of Paragraph 2.3.4.

2.3.4 The Prosecuting Party agrees to keep the other Party informed of the course of patent prosecution or other proceedings, including by providing the other Party with a draft patent application for review sufficiently in advance of the planned filing date in order for the other Party to have the opportunity to comment thereon, and shall take such comments into consideration in the application filed. The Prosecuting Party shall also promptly furnish the other Party with copies of office actions and communications received by the Prosecuting Party from, and communications sent by the Prosecuting Party to, the patent offices concerning such patents or patent application and shall take the other Party’s comments and suggestions into consideration when framing responses and submissions to such patent offices. The Prosecuting Party shall timely inform the other Party of any patent issuing or granting from a patent application filed hereunder.

2.4 Consulting Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that pursuant to a consulting agreement between Coronado and TSO Laboratories entered into on the Second Amendment Effective Date, to be effective as of the date [*] (the “Consulting Agreement”), in the form attached to this Second Amendment as Appendix 2.4, TSO Laboratories shall provide the

For the avoidance of doubt, [*] shall not be allowed to disclose or use any financial or business information of Ovamed. Also, for further avoidance of doubt, the obligations of TSO Laboratories and/or [*] under the Consulting Agreement shall only be obligations under said Consulting Agreement and shall not be considered obligations under this Second Amendment and/or any of the Agreements. Except as regards [*] or as agreed between the Parties in individual cases, neither Party nor any of their Affiliates shall solicit any employees or other staff of the other Party or any of said other Party’s Affiliates to work for it. The foregoing sentence shall also apply with respect to any solicitation by either Party or any Affiliate of either Party of employees or other staff of ParaTech.

2.5 Second Source Agreement. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to enter into, as soon as practicable after the Second Amendment Effective Date but in any event no later than [*] after the Second Amendment Effective Date, an agreement (the “Second Source Agreement”) to be effective as of the Manufacturing Assumption Date.

“1.6 “Net Sales” means the total gross receipts for sales of Licensed Products and, for purposes of calculating the Manufacturing Fee, Products, by or on behalf of the Company or its Affiliates or Company Sublicensees (as applicable), whether invoiced or not, less only the sum of the following: (a) usual trade discounts to customers; (b) sales, tariff duties and/or taxes directly imposed and with reference to particular sales; (c) amounts allowed or credited on returns or rejections; (d) bad debt deductions actually written off during the accounting period; (e) outbound transportation prepaid or allowed and transportation insurance; and, however only as regards the calculation of royalties but not the Manufacturing Fee, (f) sales commissions and (g) packaging and freight charges.

1.6.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 1.6, Net Sales does not include sales of (a) Licensed Product or Product at or below the fully burdened cost of manufacturing solely for non-profit research or clinical testing or for indigent or similar public support or compassionate use programs, or (b) solely for purposes of calculating the Manufacturing Fee, Product manufactured by Ovamed or its Affiliates. If (i) the end user is a Company Sublicensee or an Affiliate or (ii) Licensed Product, Product or Licensed Process is sold for consideration other than money, then Net Sales shall be calculated based on the final gross selling price of comparable Licensed Products or Products sold in arm’s length transactions by Company to an end user.

1.6.2 For purposes of determining Net Sales, Licensed Product and Product, as applicable, shall be deemed to be sold when shipped or to be the subject of a sale upon the delivery of Licensed Product or Product, respectively, to the purchaser or a common carrier at the risk of the purchaser and the transfer of title thereto to the purchaser.

1.6.3 Sales between or among (a) the Company and Ovamed, and/or (b) the Company and any of the Company’s or Ovamed’s respective licensees, Sublicensees or Affiliates, shall be excluded from the computation of Net Sales provided such parties are not the end-user of the products, but sales by the Company’s licensees, Sublicensees or Affiliates to their non-affiliated customers shall be included in such computation.”

3.1.2 Article 2.1 is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

2.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Ovamed hereby grants to the Company and the Company accepts an exclusive (even as to Ovamed, except as set forth herein) right and license (and sublicense) in the Field (with the right to grant sublicenses to

 

12


Affiliates and/or to third parties in accordance with Article 2.2 below), under the Patent Rights, the Technical Information and the Know-How, to make, have made, use, have used, lease, import, offer to sale, sell and/or have sold (including to practice and have practiced the Licensed Processes) Licensed Product and Product for the Territory. The rights and licenses granted by Ovamed to the Company under this Article 2.1 to make Licensed Product and Product under the Patent Rights and Know-How are referred to herein as the “Manufacturing License”.

2.1.1 Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Manufacturing Assumption Date, (a) Ovamed shall have the co-exclusive (with Company) right to make, and the exclusive right and obligation to supply Company with, Licensed Product and Product for the Territory pursuant to the terms of the Supply Agreement, and (b) Company shall not make Licensed Product or Product for commercial distribution in the Territory.

2.1.2 In accordance with the Second Amendment and the Second Source Agreement, (a) Ovamed shall have the co-exclusive (with Company) right to make and have made Licensed Product and Product in compliance with the Specifications and Regulatory Standards for the Territory as a qualified second source supplier to Company in the event of a Company Inability to Supply, and (b) the Company shall have the co-exclusive (with Ovamed) right and license to make and have made Licensed Product and Product in compliance with the Specifications and Regulatory Standards for the Ex-Territory as a qualified second source supplier to Ovamed in the event of an Ovamed Inability to Supply”.

3.1.3 Article 4.3 is hereby amended to add the following sentence to the end thereof:

“Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, the Milestone Payments shall be paid within ten (10) business days after achievement of the applicable milestone event”.

3.1.4 Article 4.6 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“4.6 Royalty, Manufacturing Fee and other payments hereunder shall be paid in United States dollars at such place or to such entity as Ovamed may reasonably designate consistent with the laws and regulations controlling in the United States and if applicable in any foreign country (provided such designation would not require any increase in the amount of any such payment hereunder). Any taxes which the Company, its Affiliate or any Company Sublicensee shall be required by law to withhold on remittance of the royalty, Manufacturing Fee, or other payments shall be deducted from such royalty, Manufacturing Fee or other payment to Ovamed. The Company shall furnish Ovamed with the original copies of all official receipts for such taxes. Ovamed (or Ovamed’s designated payee) shall provide the Company as required by law, with all forms or documentation required by any applicable taxation laws, treaties or agreements to such withholding or as necessary to claim a benefit thereunder (including, but not limited to Form W-8BEN or any successor forms). If any currency conversion shall be required in connection with the payment of royalties, Manufacturing Fees or other payments hereunder, such conversion shall be made by using the exchange rate prevailing at Citibank, N.A. in New York, New York on the last business day of the calendar quarterly reporting period to which such payments relate.”

4.7.1 Manufacturing Fee. The Manufacturing Fee for each calendar quarter shall equal the greater of the amount (a) equal to [*] percent ([*]%) of Net Sales (of Products manufactured by the Company) in such calendar quarter (the “Royalty Component”) or (b) calculated by multiplying [*] (the “Transfer Fee Component”) by the aggregate number of Units of Product included in Net Sales (and manufactured by the Company) in such calendar quarter. The Manufacturing Fee shall be payable quarterly in accordance with Article 5.2, provided, however, that in the event for any calendar year the provisions of Section 4.7.2 are applicable, the Manufacturing Fee payable for the fourth calendar quarter of such calendar year (and, to the extent necessary to fully credit the Manufacturing Fee Adjustment, as defined and provided for in Section 4.7.2, the immediately subsequent calendar quarters) shall give effect to the Manufacturing Fee Adjustment for such calendar year.

4.7.2 Manufacturing Fee Adjustment.

(a) If for any Adjustment Eligible Year (as defined below), Coronado Per Unit Manufacturing Costs (as evidenced by the Company’s written records) for Products manufactured by the Company and included in Net Sales in such year exceed [*] per Unit of such Product (such [*], the “Manufacturing Costs Cap”), then: (i) until such time as the Company exercises the Transfer Fee Buy-down Right, the Manufacturing Fee calculated in accordance with Article 4.7.1 shall be reduced by the amount by which Coronado Per Unit Manufacturing Costs exceed the Manufacturing Costs Cap, and (ii) after the exercise of the Transfer Fee Buy-Down, the Royalty Component shall be reduced by the amount by which Coronado Per Unit Manufacturing Costs exceed the Manufacturing Costs Cap; in each case subject to the provisions of Article 4.7.2 (b). An “Adjustment Eligible Year” means any calendar year in which (x) Net Sales included at least [*] Units of Product, and (y) at least [*] were used in connection with the manufacture of Products included in Net Sales. If the provisions of this Article 4.7.2(a) are applicable, the Company shall set forth in its report under Article 5.2 for the fourth calendar quarter of such year, the calculation of the reduction in the Manufacturing Fee for such calendar year. Any such reduction in the Manufacturing Fee determined in accordance with this Article 4.7.2 is referred to herein as the “Manufacturing Fee Adjustment”.

(b) The Manufacturing Fee Adjustment shall not be applicable in an Adjustment Eligible Year in which (i) the Ovamed Per Unit Manufacturing Costs did not exceed the Manufacturing Costs Cap, as evidenced by Ovamed’s written records; (ii) Ovamed, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a report under Article 5.2 setting forth a Manufacturing Fee Adjustment, advises the Company in writing thereof; and (iii) Ovamed, within fifteen (15) days after providing such notice under (ii), provides the Company with such written records. However, if the Company

does not agree with Ovamed’s position, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to reach a mutually acceptable resolution based on the relevant facts and circumstances in a manner that comes closest to achieving the overall intent, purposes and agreements between the Parties as set forth in this Article 4.7.

(c) In the event an Adjustment Eligible Year occurs when inflation has exceeded [*] percent ([*]%) per year for each year commencing as of January 1, 2013, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to reach a mutually acceptable resolution as to whether the Manufacturing Costs Cap should be adjusted, based on the relevant facts and circumstances, in a manner that comes closest to achieving the overall intent, purposes and agreements between the Parties as set forth in this Article 4.7.

4.7.3 Transfer Fee Buy-Down Right

(a) The Company shall have the right (the “Transfer Fee Buy-down Right”), exercisable by providing written notice of such election to Ovamed not later than ten (10) business days following the receipt of the first written final approval by the FDA of a Biologics License Application approving the manufacturing, marketing and commercial sale of Licensed Product in the United States (the “Initial Regulatory Approval”), to reduce the Transfer Fee Component to [*] per Unit.

(b) In the event the Company exercises the Transfer Fee Buy-down Right (i) all references herein to the Transfer Fee Component from and after the exercise date shall mean [*] per Unit (such that, subject to the other provisions of this Article 4.7, the Manufacturing Fee for each calendar quarter shall equal the greater of (x) the Royalty Component (subject to the Manufacturing Fee Adjustment), or (y) the amount calculated by multiplying [*] by the aggregate number of Units of Product included in Net Sales (and manufactured by the Company) in such calendar quarter); and (ii) the Company shall make the following additional one-time milestone payments to Ovamed: (A) seven million five hundred thousand dollars (US$7,500,000) within ten (10) business days after the date of Initial Regulatory Approval, and (B) twelve million five hundred thousand dollars (US$12,500,000) within ninety (90) days after the end of the first calendar year in which Net Sales in the Territory exceed two hundred fifty million dollars (US$250,000,000).

4.7.4 Renegotiation of Manufacturing Fee. In the event (a) the Company has exercised the Transfer Fee Buy-down Right, and (b) of the introduction in the United States of a Competing Product, or if the annual treatment dosage of Product approved by the FDA is higher than that set forth in the definition of Unit herein, or of other circumstances beyond the Company’s control, such as market conditions, healthcare regulations or reimbursement issues, and (c) for any calendar quarter the Company’s Gross Margin is less than [*]%, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in a reasonable and mutually acceptable manner to adjust the Manufacturing Fee (and amend this Agreement to reflect such adjustment) effective for and after such calendar quarter, to substitute provisions that come closest to achieving the overall intent, purposes and agreements between the Parties as set forth in Article 4.7 of this Agreement.

4.7.5 Manufacturing Fee Credit.

[*] Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.


proprietary information, including information of any third party to whom Company owes a duty of confidentiality, whether written or oral (herein “Confidential Information”), and in recognition of the confidential nature thereof, each of Consultant and [*], intending to be legally bound, hereby agrees not to use or disclose any Confidential Information to any person or entity without the prior consent of Company. Each of Consultant and [*] will use best efforts to safeguard any Confidential Information and to prevent any such information from being disclosed to any unauthorized person or entity and shall promptly notify Company’s management should any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information occur.

(a) The foregoing obligations of confidentiality shall not apply to any Confidential Information which:

(i) is or subsequently becomes part of the public domain through no fault of Consultant or [*];

(ii) is received from a third party under no obligation of confidentiality to Company, as established by written records;

(iii) was known to Consultant or [*] at the time of disclosure and such prior knowledge can be demonstrated in its records to have been independently developed, without breach of this Agreement and/or use of the Confidential Information; or

(iv) is disclosed pursuant to a court order, administrative agency, or other governmental body or is otherwise required by law to be disclosed; provided, however, that the receiving party shall make the best effort to provide prompt notice of such court order or requirement to the disclosing party to enable the disclosing party to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent or restrict such disclosure.

(b) The obligations of confidentiality and non-use shall apply for a period of ten (10) years from the date of termination of this or any successor agreement.

(c) Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Company. This Agreement shall in no way be construed as the granting of a license by Company to Consultant directly or indirectly, under any patent or patent application or other intellectual property rights owned or controlled by Company. Any and all documents furnished by Company to the Consultant shall be returned upon the request of the Company and in any event upon termination of this Agreement. Consultant shall, upon request (except as may be prohibited by law, or legal, judicial, or regulatory process or pursuant to any requirement of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the receiving party or its representatives) promptly deliver to Company (or destroy and certify such destruction to the disclosing party) all Confidential Information and all copies, documents, and things thereof furnished to or otherwise in the possession of Consultant and/or its employees, agents or representatives, except for one archival copy, which shall remain subject to the terms of this Section 5.

[*] Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.


money damages may not provide an adequate remedy. Accordingly, the Company may seek and obtain injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach of the within undertakings, in addition to any legal or equitable remedies which may be available.

(e) Neither Party will use, or authorize others to use, the name, symbols, or marks of the other Party in any advertising or publicity material which would constitute an express or implied endorsement by the other Party of any commercial product or service without that other Party’s prior written approval.

6. Term and Termination. The term of this Agreement will commence on the later of the date [*] and the date on which the shareholders of Ovamed have approved an employment agreement between Consultant and [*] (the “Effective Date”) and continue for a period expiring on the one year anniversary of the Effective Date, provided, however, that (a) the Term will be automatically extended for additional one year periods so long as the [*] remains in effect, unless either Party provides written notice of termination to the other Party at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the then current Term, (b) the Term will automatically terminate in the event [*] becomes an employee of the Company (whereby any such employment of [*] with the Company shall be arranged and agreed between the Company and [*] so as to provide for a start date being the 1st day of the relevant month in which such employment shall start), and (c) if either Party defaults in the performance of any obligation or provision of this Agreement and, assuming such default is capable of cure, fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days after written notice specifying the default, the non-defaulting Party giving notice may, at its option, terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the defaulting Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event [*] is unable, unwilling or otherwise unavailable to perform Services on behalf of Consultant substantially in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on ten (10) days written notice. Upon the termination of this Agreement, each Party will be released from all obligations and liabilities to the other occurring or arising after the effective date of termination, except that such termination will not relieve either Party of its obligations under Paragraphs 4, 5, and 7, or from liability arising from any breach of this Agreement. The Parties also acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, Paragraph 2.2 of the Second Amendment shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

7. Covenant not to Compete. During the Term and for a period of one year thereafter (the “Restricted Period”), [*] shall not engage in competition with the Company and/or any of its affiliates, either directly or indirectly, in any manner or capacity, as adviser, principal, agent, affiliate, promoter, partner, officer, director, employee, stockholder, owner, co-owner, consultant, or member of any association or otherwise, in any phase of the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing of products or services that are in the same field of use and which materially compete with the products or services of the Company, except with the prior written consent of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Consultant and [*] each separately (in the sense that wherever in the following the Consultant is mentioned the respective representation etc. shall only be considered made by the Consultant, and where [*] is mentioned the respective representation etc. shall only be considered made by [*], and not by the Consultant) represent, warrant and covenant to Company that:
