2. Appointment and Acceptance.

(a) Grant of Distribution Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, NBY grants to Pioneer, and Pioneer accepts, an exclusive right to Distribute the Product directly to Customers in the Territory solely for indications approved by the SFDA for the Product. Pioneer may appoint any of its Holding Companies in the Territory, solely for so long as such entity remains a Holding Company, to Distribute Product in the Territory in accordance with the terms and conditions hereunder. In the event Pioneer wants to appoint any other third party (other than a Holding Company) to Distribute Product in the Territory, Pioneer shall enter into a written agreement (a “Subdistribution Agreement”) with such third party containing terms and conditions that are consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and including provisions as materially protective of the Product and NBY as this Agreement. Pioneer shall, in addition to the quarterly report provided for under Section 6.7, provide NBY with a complete and updated list of third party subdistributors appointed by Pioneer for the Distribution of Product at the end of each quarter and otherwise upon NBY’s reasonable request. Upon NBY’s request, Pioneer shall also provide NBY with a copy of the Subdistribution Agreement (with an English translation) with any such third party subdistributor (which copy may be redacted for information not relevant to the Distribution of Product). Pioneer shall take into reasonable consideration any concerns or issues raised by NBY with respect to any such third party subdistributors and the parties agree to discuss in good faith to resolve any such concerns or issues. In any event, Pioneer shall remain responsible to NBY for all activities of its Holding Companies and/or third party appointees (including subdistributors and other subcontractors) to the same extent as if such activities had been undertaken by Pioneer itself.

(b) No Distribution Outside Territory; Grey Market Activities. Notwithstanding the rights granted to Pioneer to Distribute the Product in Section (a) above, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Pioneer shall not Distribute the Product outside the Territory and Pioneer shall not Distribute Product in the Territory for any indication unless and until the Product has received MAA Approval for such indications. Pioneer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any Product that has been Distributed hereunder from being further sold, distributed or otherwise transported for use outside the Territory or for indications that the Product has not received MAA Approval, and Pioneer shall refer to NBY any inquiries and leads that Pioneer may receive for the purchase of Product for such purposes.

(c) No Conflicts. Pioneer represents and warrants to NBY that except for the Product and the list of products set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto, it does not currently Distribute any products that directly compete with the Product (“Competing Products”). Pioneer agrees that, during the Term (as defined in Section 15(a)) and to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, it will not Distribute any Competing Product in the Territory without NBY’s prior written approval. If Pioneer Distributes products in the Territory that are deemed in NBY’s judgment to constitute Competing Products, such Distribution will be considered a breach of this Agreement and NBY shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to either (i) terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 15 (b)(a), or (ii) convert the appointment in Section (a) above to a non-exclusive arrangement, in each case without prejudice to any rights or remedies available to NBY under Applicable Law.

3. Annual Minimums, Ordering, Forecasts, Delivery, and Acceptance.

(a) Annual Minimums. During the Initial Term (as defined below in Section 15(a)), Pioneer shall purchase from NBY (as provided in this Article 3) for Distribution under this Agreement, not less than the minimum quantities set forth on Exhibit C (“Annual Minimums”). Prior to the end of the third Contract Year and every other Contract Year thereafter, the parties will negotiate and establish the Annual Minimums for the two upcoming Contract Years, provided that such Annual Minimums will not be less than the Annual Minimum of the then-current Contract Year. In the event that Pioneer fails to purchase sufficient quantities to meet the Annual Minimums, NBY shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to either (i) terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 15 (b)(a), or (ii) convert the appointment in Section 2(a) above to a non-exclusive arrangement, in each case without prejudice to any rights or remedies available to NBY under Applicable Law.

(b) Forecasts. By the 15th day of each month, Pioneer shall provide NBY with its best, good-faith rolling forecast of the Product that Pioneer expects to order from NBY under this Agreement in the immediately succeeding three (3) month period (each, a “Forecast”). Each Forecast shall be provided in writing, in such form as NBY reasonably requires. Pioneer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that its Forecasts are as accurate as possible and its Orders do not significantly deviate from the Forecasts.

(c) Orders. Orders for Product by Pioneer shall be placed with NBY at least ninety (90) days prior to the requested date of receipt of such Product. All Orders must, at a minimum, include the Product description, quantity of Product ordered, the applicable Price (as defined below in Section 4.2), requested delivery date(s), any export/import information as well as such other information NBY may reasonably request from time to time to enable NBY to fill the Order. Pioneer shall order, at a minimum, [***] Units (as defined in Exhibit A) of the Product under each Order.

(i) Acceptance, Suspension and Cancellation. No Orders are binding upon NBY unless accepted by NBY in writing. NBY may accept or reject any Order, in whole or in part, in its sole discretion.

(ii) Order Terms. Pioneer may use its standard purchase order form to order Product; however, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall supersede any different, conflicting, or additional terms on Pioneer’s Orders, acknowledgment or other document related to the purchase and sale of Products and NBY hereby expressly rejects any terms in any order that are different from, in conflict with or in addition to the terms and conditions hereof. It is the intention of both parties hereto that the acceptance, even in writing, of any such purchase or sales document does not constitute a modification or amendment of, or addition to, the terms of this Agreement unless accompanied by a written amendment in the form required by Section 20(a).

(d) Delivery. All Product delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be suitably packed for shipment in NBY’s standard shipping cartons, marked for shipment, and delivered to a common carrier and shipped CIP (Incoterms 2010) point of entry (e.g. airport of dispatch) of the Territory as identified in the applicable purchase order, at which time title to the Product and risk of loss and damage shall pass to Pioneer. Each Order may be delivered in installments. Unless otherwise instructed in writing by Pioneer, NBY shall select the carrier. NBY shall, at its own cost and expenses, be responsible for the carriage and insurance of Products from the country of manufacture to the point of entry of the Territory. Pioneer shall bear all applicable taxes, duties and similar charges that may be assessed against the Product after delivery to the point of entry of the Territory. Notwithstanding the passage of title under this Section (d), NBY retains and Pioneer grants a purchase-money security interest in the Product and in any proceeds from Pioneer’s resale of the Product, until the full invoice amount for such Product has been paid in full to NBY.

(e) Return Authorizations. All Products shall be deemed irrevocably accepted by Pioneer upon receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pioneer may submit a warranty claim for any Product that do not conform to the limited warranty granted to Pioneer in accordance with Section 9(a) by requesting a return authorization for any Product from NBY by mail, e-mail or telefax with a proper explanation of the alleged defect. Within ten (10) days of Pioneer’s receipt of such a return authorization, the Product should be returned to NBY with freight prepaid by Pioneer. The party shipping Product pursuant to this Section (e) shall bear the entire risk of loss for Product during shipment. NBY shall reimburse Pioneer for any costs of transportation incurred by Pioneer in connection with the proper return to NBY of non-conforming Product. In the case of improperly returned Product, Pioneer shall pay transportation charges in both directions. Except as provided in this Section (e), all Product delivered under this Agreement are non-returnable.

(b) Further Development in the Territory. If the SFDA determines that additional development of the Product (whether clinical studies or otherwise) is necessary for MAA Approval in the Territory (“Additional Development”), then NBY will provide written notice to Pioneer of such determination. Within [***] days of its receipt of such notice, Pioneer may elect, at its sole discretion, by providing written notice to NBY, to participate in the Additional Development. In the event Pioneer elects to co-fund the Additional Development, the parties will conduct any Additional Development in accordance with terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto. In the event (i) Pioneer does not elect to co-fund the Additional Development within [***] days from receiving NBY’s notice thereof, or (ii) Pioneer elects to co-fund the Additional Development, but after the performance of such Additional Development and filing of the applicable Marketing Approval Application based thereon, NBY is still unable to obtain MAA Approval for the Product, then this Agreement will terminate automatically and NBY will refund Pioneer US$312,500. Such refund under this Section 6.2 shall be Pioneer’s sole remedy and NBY’s sole liability with respect to the development and regulatory approval of the Product.

(c) Permits. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, Pioneer, at its own cost, shall be responsible for obtaining all government and other approvals beyond MAA Approval, including permits, registrations, licenses, exemptions, exceptions and other permissions, etc., necessary and useful to the lawful Distribution and use of the Product in the Territory, including without limitation any pricing or reimbursement approvals, import and export licenses and permits (collectively, “Permits”), unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties. Pioneer shall confer with NBY as to the type of Permits which Pioneer may apply and keep NBY informed with respect to any Permit acquisitions. In the event of termination or expiration of this Agreement, Pioneer agrees to execute such documents, render such assistance, and take such other action as NBY may reasonably request, at NBY’s expense, to apply for, register, perfect, confirm, and protect NBY’s rights in the Permits including (without limitation) an assignment of all such Permit applications or Permits to NBY or such other third party as NBY may designate in writing.

In the event (i) any Regulatory Authority requests a Recall for any Product, (ii) a court or other government agency of competent jurisdiction orders a Recall, or (iii) NBY determines, in its sole discretion, that a Recall of any Product should be conducted, Pioneer shall promptly implement any such Recall, but in any event not later than forty-eight (48) hours following receipt of notice from NBY. NBY shall be solely responsible for all Recall determinations and shall control all aspects of the Recall process, including communicating with the applicable Regulatory Authorities or other third parties concerning the Recall.

(a) Product. Pioneer acknowledges that the Product and any accompanying documentation and/or promotional or training materials are covered by intellectual property rights owned or licensed by NBY; and other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no license or other rights in such intellectual property are granted to the Pioneer, and all such rights are hereby expressly reserved by NBY.

Subject to Section (c), NBY shall indemnify, defend or settle and hold Pioneer and its affiliates harmless from and against any and all liabilities, damages or expenses (including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from any suit, claim, action or demand brought by a third party (each, a “Third Party Claim”) arising out of: (a) any breach of any of NBY’s representations and warranties under Article 9, or (b) the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of NBY or any of its agents, directors, officers and employees; in each case except to the extent such Third Party Claim is covered by Pioneer’s indemnification obligations below.

(b) By Pioneer. Subject to Section (c), Pioneer shall indemnify, defend or settle and hold NBY and its affiliates harmless from and against any and all Losses resulting from any Third Party Claim arising out of: (a) any breach by Pioneer of its obligations, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement; (b) the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Pioneer or any of its agents, directors, officers and employees, (c) any acts or omissions of Pioneer or its personnel in Distributing or developing the Product; in each case except to the extent such Third Party Claim is covered by NBY’s indemnification obligations above.

(c) Indemnification Procedure. To be eligible to be indemnified hereunder, the indemnified party shall provide the indemnifying party with prompt notice of the Third-Party Claim giving rise to the indemnification obligation pursuant to this Article 13 and the right to control the defense (with the reasonable cooperation of the indemnified party) and settlement of any such claim; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not enter into any settlement that admits fault, wrongdoing or damages without the indemnified party’s written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The indemnified party shall have the right to participate, at its own expense and with counsel of its choice, in the defense of any claim or suit that has been assumed by the indemnifying party; provided that the indemnifying party shall have no obligations with respect to any Losses resulting from the indemnified party’s admission, settlement or other communication without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party.

14. Non-Assignment. Pioneer shall not have the right to assign, delegate, subdivide or otherwise transfer any obligations or rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of NBY, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(a) Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in full force and effect until the end of the fifth Contract Year (the “Initial Term”), unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Thereafter, the parties may mutually agree in writing to renew this Agreement for additional five (5) year terms (each a “Renewal Term,” and collectively with the Initial Term, the “Term”); subject to the parties’ agreement to review and establish, prior to the initiation of the Renewal Term and every second Contract Year thereafter during the Renewal Term, the transfer price and Annual Minimums in good faith based on material changes in the costs of manufacture and market demand.

(i) Upon expiration or notification of termination of this Agreement, Pioneer shall submit to NBY within thirty (30) days a list of all Products in Pioneer’s inventory as of the effective date of expiration or termination.

(iii) To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, except for obligations incurred prior to the effective date of termination, neither party shall have any obligation to the other party, or to any employee, agent or representative of a party, for compensation or for damages of any kind, whether on account of loss by a party, or by such employee, agent or representative of present or prospective sales, investments, compensation or goodwill; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 15(c)(iii) shall relieve either Party of any liability for willful misconduct, gross negligence, or breach of contract.

(iv) If proper notice of termination is given for any reason, notwithstanding any credit terms made available to Pioneer prior to that time, any shipments during the period prior to termination shall be paid for by bank transfer or by certified or cashier’s check prior to such shipment.

(v) To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, Pioneer’s ability to pursue selling its remaining inventory of Product during the sixty (60) days after expiration or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section (i), or, to extent otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement, Pioneer’s right to sell such inventory if not so repurchased by NBY, shall constitute Pioneer’s sole remedy for the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

16. Events Beyond Control. Neither party shall be liable for any failure to fulfill any term or condition of this Agreement (other than the obligation to pay) if fulfillment has been delayed, hindered or prevented by an event of force majeure including, but not limited to, any strike, lockout or other industrial dispute, acts of the elements, compliance with requirements of any governmental port or international authority, plant breakdown or failure of equipment, inability to obtain equipment, fuel, power, materials or transportation, or by any circumstances whatsoever beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, demand for Product in excess of NBY’s ability to produce Product and alleged or demonstrated infringement by the Product or their use of any proprietary right of a third party.

20. Miscellaneous.

(a) Waiver; Amendment. The failure of either party to enforce its rights under this Agreement at any time for any period shall not be construed as a waiver of such rights unless evidenced in writing and signed for on behalf of both parties.

(b) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions and excluding the 1980 U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

(c) Severability. The provisions of this Agreement under which the liability of NBY is excluded or limited shall not apply to the extent that such exclusions or limitations are declared illegal or void under Applicable Laws in the Territory, unless the illegality or invalidity is cured under the Applicable Laws of the Territory by the fact that the law of Hong Kong governs this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, if any provision of this Agreement is held to be void, invalid or unenforceable, the same shall be reformed to give the fullest effect to the intention of the parties when executing this Agreement while complying with Applicable Law or stricken if not so conformable, so as not to affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement.

(d) Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim between the parties hereto arising out of this Agreement, the parties agree to attempt to resolve such dispute in good faith through direct negotiations for a period of thirty (30) days. Any dispute, controversy or claim between the parties hereto arising out of or relating to this Agreement which cannot be resolved through direct negotiations shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with and subject to the then applicable rules (“Rules”) of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) and such arbitration shall be administered by ICC with a single arbitrator selected from a list of arbitrators proposed by ICC in accordance with the Rules. The arbitrator shall allow such discovery as is appropriate and consistent with the purposes of arbitration in accomplishing fair, speedy and cost-effective resolution of disputes. The costs of the arbitration including the arbitrators’ fees shall be shared equally by the parties. Each party shall bear its own costs, including attorney’s and witness’ fees, incurred in connection with the arbitration. Judgment upon the award rendered in any such arbitration may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of the award and an enforcement, as the law of such jurisdiction may require or allow. Unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties, in the event NBY initiates such arbitration, such arbitration shall take place in Hong Kong, China, and in the event Pioneer initiates such arbitration, such arbitration shall take place in San Francisco, California. Any arbitration under this Agreement shall be conducted in English, regardless of the location for such arbitration.

(e) Language. This Agreement is in the English language only, which language shall be controlling in all respects, and all versions hereof in any other language shall not be binding on the parties hereto. All communications and notices to be made or given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in the English language.

(i) Compliance With Applicable Law. The parties shall each comply with all Applicable Laws in performing its duties hereunder.

(j) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, and all exhibits attached hereto, constitute the entire understanding and contract between the parties and supersedes any and all prior and contemporaneous, oral or written representations, communications, understandings, and agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the terms and conditions of this Agreement conflict with the terms and conditions of any exhibit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern.

EXHIBIT E

TERMS GOVERNING ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT

In the event Pioneer elects to co-fund the Additional Development, the parties will conduct any Additional Development in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Exhibit E.

The parties shall promptly establish a joint development committee (“JDC”) comprised of an equal number of representatives of each of the parties to govern the Additional Development. The JDC shall hold meetings (either in person or by teleconference) at such times and places as the parties may mutually agree. The responsibilities of the JDC are: (i) reviewing and approving the Development Plan (as defined below) and any amendments thereof, (ii) overseeing, reviewing and coordinating the parties’ implementation of the Development Plan, (ii) reviewing and approving any contract research organization for the management or performance of any clinical study set forth in the Development Plan, (iii) reviewing and approving the protocol of each clinical study set forth in the Development Plan, and (iv) undertaking and/or approving such other matters as set forth in the Development Plan or otherwise as the parties mutually agree. Decisions of the JDC shall be made by consensus of all JDC members; provided that in the event the JDC is unable to reach consensus with respect to a particular matter within thirty (30) days from the date such matter was initially referred to the JDC, then NBY shall have the final decision making authority with respect to such matter.

21. The parties shall jointly develop a development plan describing each party’s responsibilities in such Additional Development and the estimated timeline, budget and other resource requirements therefor (the “Development Plan”), subject to the JDC’s review and approval. Once approved by the JDC, the Development Plan shall be attached to this Exhibit E. Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform and complete the responsibilities assigned to it in accordance with the Development Plan and all Applicable Laws. Each Party shall: (i) be responsible for day-to-day implementation and operations of the activities assigned to it under the Development Plan; and (ii) to keep the other party reasonably informed as to the progress of such activities as reasonably requested by the other party and as otherwise determined by the JDC. Each party shall maintain complete and accurate records that sufficiently and properly reflect all work done and results achieved during the performance of Additional Development in accordance with Applicable Laws and in good scientific manner consistent with the applicable industry standards.

22. Each party will bear 50% of Additional Development Costs up to a total amount of US$[***], and Pioneer will bear 100% of all Additional Development Costs in excess of US$[***]; provided that Pioneer will have the right to deduct the Additional Development Costs it bears pursuant to this Section 3 from the Price of the Product as described in the price deduction schedule under Exhibit D. Each party shall keep full and accurate books and records related to its performance of the Additional Development in accordance with applicable accounting principles and good business practices. As used herein, “Additional Development Costs” means all reasonable third party direct costs incurred to conduct the Additional Development in accordance with the Development Plan.

For example, if the parties incurred Additional Development Costs in the amount of US$[***], then each party would bear US$[***] and Pioneer would bear an additional US$[***]; and Pioneer will have the right to deduct the Additional Development Costs it bears in the amount of US$[***] (US$[***] + US$[***]) from the Price of the Product as described under Exhibit D.

23. As between the parties, NBY will own all data, results and technologies developed in connection with the conduct of Additional Development, and all intellectual property rights therein (collectively, “Development IP”), in each case whether developed solely by (or on behalf of) Pioneer or NBY, or jointly by (or on behalf of) both parties. Each party shall promptly disclose to the other party any Development IP generated in the course of performing the Additional Development. Pioneer shall assign and hereby assigns to NBY or its designee, all right, title and interest Pioneer may have in or to the Development IP. Pioneer agrees to execute (or cause to be executed) any and all documents and to perform such other acts for the purpose of perfecting the foregoing assignment, each at NBY’s request and expense.
