JOINT DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE

 

2.1           Formation.  Within fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date, the Parties shall establish a joint development committee (the “Joint Development Committee” or “JDC”).  The JDC shall consist of relevant representatives from each of the Parties, each with the requisite experience and seniority to enable such person to make decisions on behalf of the Parties with respect to the issues falling within the jurisdiction of the JDC.   Each Party shall be entitled to appoint up to two (2) representatives to the JDC.  From time to time, each Party may substitute one (1) or more of its representatives to the JDC on written notice to the other Party.  Adapt shall designate from its representatives the chairperson for the JDC.  From time to time, Adapt may change the representative who will serve as chairperson on written notice to Lightlake.

 

2.2           Specific Responsibilities.  The JDC shall meet monthly in person or by phone for the purpose of facilitating the transition of Development of the Product from Lightlake to Adapt.  At least seven (7) days prior to each meeting, each Party shall circulate an agenda of items that such Party wishes to cover in such meeting. In particular, the JDC shall:  

 

2.2.1           review and serve as a forum for discussing the Initial Development Plan, and review amendments thereto;

 

2.2.2           oversee any transition activities under the Initial Development Plan;

3.1           Development Plan.

 

3.1.1            Development Plan Delivery.  By no later than November 1st of each Calendar Year during the Term after the Calendar Year in which the Initial Development Plan was delivered until First Commercial Sale of a Product in the United States, Adapt shall prepare a written development plan that describes generally the material Development activities to be undertaken by or on behalf of Adapt with respect to Products in the next Calendar Year (each, a “Development Plan”), and each such Development Plan shall be provided to Lightlake and Adapt shall consider any comments of Lightlake in good faith.  The Initial Development Plan shall serve as the Development Plan for the first full Calendar Year of this Agreement and the period from the Effective Date through the end of the initial partial Calendar Year.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Development Plan shall set forth, among other things and to the extent relevant based on the stage of Development, the following with respect to the Products then under Development:

 

(a)          any preclinical studies, toxicology studies and other clinical studies with respect to Products;

 

(b)          regulatory plans and other elements of obtaining and maintaining Regulatory Approvals for Products;

3.2           Development.

 

3.2.1           Ongoing Development.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that additional Development will be required to obtain Regulatory Approvals for Products.  After the Effective Date, as between the Parties, except as set forth in the Initial Development Plan (as the same may be amended in accordance with Section 3.1.2) and Section 3.8.1, Adapt shall be solely responsible for Development of the Products.

 

3.2.2           General Diligence.  Adapt shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete the activities associated with the Development of the initial Product for the United States that are contemplated by the Development Plan then in effect (other than any such activities to be undertaken by Lightlake).  Adapt shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, comply with all Applicable Law with respect to Products.  

 

3.2.3           Specific Diligence Requirement.  Without limiting the foregoing, if Adapt has not filed an NDA in respect of a Product on or before the Target Filing Date, Adapt shall be deemed to be in material breach of this Agreement unless:

 

(a)          Adapt shall have theretofore completed those tasks in relation to the Development of a Product contemplated on Schedule 3.2.3(a) hereto; or

 

(b)          the aggregate amount of Development Costs, Regulatory Costs and Commercialization Costs theretofore incurred by Adapt and Lightlake after the Effective Date, together with the costs and expenses set forth on Schedule 3.8.2 hereto, shall equal or exceed $5 million; or

 

(c)          prior to such time, a Third Party files a Drug Approval Application in the United States for an intranasal product for the treatment of opioid overdose and, either (i) such product has the same dosage form as the Product being developed by Adapt or (ii) such product is deemed by the FDA to be, or otherwise becomes, the reference drug for purposes of any NDA that would be filed under Section 505(b)(2) of the FFDCA in respect of the Product being developed by Adapt; or  

 

(d)          any other circumstances that the Parties have separately agreed in writing will constitute exceptions pursuant to this Section 3.2.3 occur or exist.  

 

For clarity, if any of the circumstances contemplated by clauses (a) through (c) above exist, Adapt shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement by virtue of its failure to file an NDA for a Product on or prior to the Target Filing Date, but shall remain subject to the obligation to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts in respect of the Development of the initial Product, as set forth above in Section 3.2.2.  In the event that none of the circumstances contemplated above exist, but Adapt notifies and provides reasonable evidence to Lightlake that such inability to file on or prior to the Target Filing Date is due to variables outside of Adapt’s reasonable control, Adapt may request that Lightlake consent to an extension of such Target Filing Date and Lightlake shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition such requested extension.  “Target Filing Date” means the date specified in the Initial Development Plan as the date by which Adapt shall file an NDA in respect of a Product or such later date as Lightlake may consent to in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, provided that in the event of (i) a delay in the Development of a Product that is caused by a Third Party and outside the reasonable control of Adapt or (ii) a Force Majeure, then (in either case, clause (i) or (ii)) the Target Filing Date shall automatically be extended by the actual amount of delay caused by a Third Party or the duration of the Force Majeure, respectively.  For clarity, Adapt shall not be in material breach of its Development Obligations under this Agreement, including by virtue of this Section 3.2.3, if the Target Filing Date has been extended pursuant to this paragraph of Section 3.2.3 unless Adapt fails to file an NDA in respect of a Product on or before the revised Target Filing Date.

9.4.1           In General.  Except as otherwise contemplated by Article 6, at its option, the indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice.  The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification.  Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the indemnifying Party.  In the event the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party in connection with the Third Party Claim.  Should the indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, except as provided in Section 9.4.2, the indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim unless specifically requested in writing by the indemnifying Party.  In the event that it is ultimately determined that the indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) and any Losses incurred by the indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim.

 

9.4.2           Right to Participate in Defense.  Without limiting Section 9.4.1, any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment shall be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying Party in writing, (ii) the indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 9.4.1 (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense), or (iii) the interests of the Indemnified Party and the indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both Parties under Applicable Law or ethical rules.

 

9.4.3           Settlement.  Except as otherwise contemplated by Article 6, with respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that shall not result in the Indemnified Party’s becoming subject to injunctive or other relief, and as to which the indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder, the indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate.  With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.4.1, the indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss; provided it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  If the indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party may defend against such Third Party Claim; provided that the Indemnified Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

9.4.4           Cooperation.  Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each indemnitee to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.  Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making Indemnified Parties and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.

 

9.4.5           Expenses.  Except as provided above, the costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any Third Party Claim shall be reimbursed on a Calendar Quarter basis by the indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the indemnifying Party’s right to contest the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party.

 

9.5           Special, Indirect, and Other Losses.  EXCEPT IN THE EVENT OF A PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 7, AND EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARE REQUIRED TO BE PAID TO A THIRD PARTY AS PART OF A CLAIM FOR WHICH A PARTY PROVIDES INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE 9, NEITHER PARTY NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF STATUTORY DUTY OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

9.6           Insurance.  Adapt shall maintain insurance, including clinical trials insurance and product liability insurance, which is consistent with normal business practices of similarly situated companies at all times during which the Product is being clinically tested in human subjects or commercially distributed or sold, as applicable, by Adapt pursuant to this Agreement, and the clinical trials insurance coverage shall, prior to the First Commercial Sale of a Product, in no event be less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per loss occurrence and Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate, and product liability insurance coverage shall, after such First Commercial Sale, in no event be less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) per loss occurrence and Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) in the aggregate.  It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of Adapt’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 9. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Adapt shall have no obligation to maintain any insurance covering the pharmacokinetics study ongoing as of the Effective Date in respect of a Product or any liabilities relating thereto.

 

ARTICLE 10

10.3         Termination for Material Breach.  If either Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) believes that the other Party (the “Breaching Party”) has materially breached one or more of its obligations under this Agreement, then the Non-Breaching Party may deliver notice of such material breach to the Breaching Party specifying the nature of the alleged breach in reasonable detail (a “Default Notice”).  Thereafter, the Non-Breaching Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if the breach asserted in such Default Notice has not been cured within sixty (60) days after such Default Notice.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if such material breach, by its nature, cannot be remedied within such sixty (60) day cure period, but can be remedied over a longer period not expected to exceed one hundred and fifty (150) days, then such sixty (60) day period shall be extended for up to an additional ninety (90) days provided that the Breaching Party provides the Non-Breaching Party with a reasonable written plan for curing such material breach and uses Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure such material breach in accordance with such written plan and (ii) if such material breach cannot be cured, but the effects of such material breach are not such that the Non-Breaching Party would be deprived of the material benefits the Non-Breaching Party would reasonably be expected to derive from this Agreement in the absence of such material breach, then the Non-Breaching Party shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement on the basis of such material breach unless the Breaching Party has previously committed a substantially similar material breach of this Agreement.  For clarity, a breach of Section 3.2.3 of this Agreement shall not, notwithstanding anything herein, fall within the exception in subpart (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence.

Exhibit 1

 

Attachment B – License Agreement Terms and Conditions

 

 

License:

The license to be granted by Aegis Therapeutics, LLC (“Aegis”) to Lightlake Therapeutics, Inc. (“Lightlake”) is a royalty-bearing license under all applicable patent and other proprietary rights of Aegis, including without limitation rights under the Technology and Aegis’s interest in the New Inventions and Joint Inventions (collectively, “Aegis IP Rights”) to develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, import and export (or otherwise commercialize and exploit) the Products in the Field in the Territory.

 

Subject to the Right of First Refusal and Option below, Aegis shall not license to any third party, and hereby grants an exclusive option to Lightlake to license, the Aegis IP Rights to develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, import and export (or otherwise commercialize and exploit) naloxone for treatment or prevention of opioid overdose (“Opioid Field”) in the Territory.

 

Notwithstanding the above license to manufacture the Excipient, Lightlake will covenant and agree to not exercise such right to make or have made Excipient for so long as Aegis remains in compliance with the terms of the Supply Agreement. If the Supply Agreement becomes terminated in accordance with its terms, or if Lightlake exercises its right to terminate Aegis’ exclusive right to supply Excipient, then Lightlake may exercise its license right to make or have made Excipient, which license right shall automatically extend to any contract manufacturer engaged by Lightlake, any of its Affiliates and/or any sublicensee to manufacture Excipient.

Excipient: Aegis’s proprietary chemically synthesizable Excipient(s), including without limitation the Intravail® excipients.
Product(s): Pharmaceutical formulations containing the Compound as an active ingredient and the Excipient.

Option Compound Naltrexone and nalmephene/ nalmefene.
Field:

Treatment or prevention of any disease, disorder, state, condition or malady in humans except in the Opioid Field, provided that upon election of Lightlake in writing and payment of the Option Fee, the “Field” shall include the Opioid Field.

 

The Option Fee shall mean one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) and agreement by Lightlake that by expansion of the Field to include Opioid Field, that Products for the Opioid Field in the Territory using the Aegis IP Rights shall be subject to the same monetary obligations as other Products in the Field (i.e. Option Field milestones, royalties under terms and conditions to be negotiated in good faith by the parties).

a.    There must be a public market for Lightlake's shares and Lightlake must be current with all statutory filings

 

b.   The shares shall be issued pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

c.    The number of shares to be issued shall be calculated to 75% of the average closing price for the previous 20 trading days;

 

d.   After the statutory holding period has been satisfied, Lightlake’s legal counsel shall provide a legal opinion so that the shares can be sold in accordance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933.

 

Milestones: Lightlake will pay to Aegis the following development milestones for the Products:
   
    Milestone Compound Each Option Compound(s)  
    Successful completion of the first human study. $ 300,000 $ 250,000

Right of First Refusal and Option

Provided that the license agreement has not been terminated, during the first two (2) year period beginning on the Effective Date, Aegis grants Lightlake a right of first refusal and option to add any, or all, of the compounds included under Option Compound or the Opioid Field to the license agreement (the “Lightlake Option”). Except as permitted by this section, Aegis shall not sell, license, offer for sale, offer for license or agree to sell or license any Aegis Technology relating to the Option Compound to any third party during the first two (2) year period beginning on the Effective Date.

 

The following sets forth the procedure whereby Lightlake may exercise the Lightlake Option.

 

1.        In the event that Aegis is approached by a third party interested in licensing the Option Compound(s) or the Opioid Field, Aegis shall provide a written notice to Lightlake specifying the specific compound(s) or the Opioid Field (the “Aegis Notice”).

 

2.        Lightlake shall as soon as possible, but in no event longer than forty (40) days of receipt of the Aegis Notice, provide a written notice to Aegis whether Lightlake intends to exercise the Lightlake Option. In the event that Lightlake does not does exercise the Lightlake Option or fails to deliver to Aegis its intent to exercise such option within the forty (40) day period, then Aegis shall be free to grant such licenses to any other third party covering such Option Compound(s) or the Opioid Field for a period of up to twelve (12) months thereafter (the “Third Party Negotiation Period”).

 

3.        In the event Lightlake exercises the Lightlake Option, then as partial consideration for the grant to Lightlake of the rights under the license agreement for each Option Compound Lightlake shall pay to Aegis a nonrefundable and noncreditable license issuance fee of Two-Hundred and Fifty Thousand U.S. dollars (U.S. $250,000). Lightlake may elect to pay up to 50% of the Option Fee by issuing to Aegis shares of Lightlake’s common stock subject to the procedures for the License Fee payment in the form of Lightlake shares. In the event that Lightlake exercises the Lightlake Option specific to the Opioid Field then Lightlake shall pay to Aegis the Option Fee.

 

4.       In the event Lightlake does not exercise the Lightlake Option and the other interested third party either: (i) does not license within the Third Party Negotiation Period, under either feasibility or commercial licenses, the Option Compound; or (ii) the license pertaining to such Option Compound that has been exclusively licensed has been subsequently terminated, or prior to the end of the Third Party Negotiation Period negotiations with the interested third party licensee are terminated as determined in Aegis’ sole discretion, then Aegis shall within thirty (30) days of such termination provide written notice to Lightlake that the Option Compound remains available. Any subsequent inquiry by the same or any other third party interested in licensing such Option Compound shall again be subject to the requirements of this section.

 

5.       Without limiting the foregoing right of first refusal, Lightlake may in its sole discretion elect to affirmatively exercise the Lightlake Option with respect to any available Option Compound at any time by written notice to Aegis, in which case the same license issuance fees specified in subsection 3 shall apply.
