THIS FIFTH AMENDMENT TO EXCLUSIVE SALES REPRESENTATION, CO-PROMOTION AND COOPERATION AGREEMENT (the Fifth Amendment) is made and entered into as of this 6th day of September 2006, by and between GIVEN IMAGING LTD., a company incorporated under the laws of Israel (Given) and ETHICON ENDO-SURGERY, INC., an Ohio corporation, acting by and through its InScope Division (EES), (EES and Given hereinafter each individually a Party and together the Parties).
WHEREAS, the Parties have entered into an Exclusive Sales Representation, Co-Promotion and Cooperation Agreement, dated May 10, 2004, as further amended in June 2004, on October 4, 2004, on October 27, 2005, and November 2005 (the Agreement);
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend their respective obligations as set forth in the Agreement in order to accelerate the adoption of the Products; and
WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed to amend the Agreement as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.
2. EESs Obligations. The Parties agree that it is in each Partys best interest to modify EESs obligations in the Agreement with respect to the selling of the Product. Until the Parties agree otherwise, EES will be obligated to provide dedicated full time equivalent field-based employees to develop market demand and increase procedural adoption for the Product, focusing primarily on markets related to esophageal varices and gastroesophageal reflux disease. EES will not employ a sales force until such time that the parties agree employing a sales force is appropriate. Each Partys obligations for the remainder of 2006 are set forth on the Marketing Plan attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
3. Definition of FTE. The definition of Sales FTE is hereby deleted and amended and restated in its entirety with the following definition:
FTE shall mean a full time equivalent of an employee. By way of example, [***Redacted***] FTEs can mean [***Redacted***] employees who are 100% dedicated to a project or [***Redacted***] employees who are each dedicated 50% to a project. An employee who is less than 20% dedicated to a project shall not be counted.
Portions of this exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The omissions have been indicated by [***Redacted***], and the omitted text has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
All subsequent references to Sales FTE in the Agreement shall be replaced by FTE.
4. Annual Meeting; Marketing Plan. Section 2.03(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(a) The Parties shall meet with such frequency as they may mutually agree, but not less than annually. In the third or fourth calendar quarter of each year, the parties shall conduct an annual commercial review meeting (each, an Annual Commercial Meeting) to jointly discuss and develop commercial plans as well as marketing, sales, quality, regulatory, operational, technical, development and other issues related to Products covered by this Agreement, and such other matters as they shall determine to be useful to advance the goals of this Agreement. Attendees of the Annual Commercial Meeting for Given shall include, at a minimum, its President & CEO, U.S. President and Global Marketing Vice President, or appropriate substitutes for each. Attendees of the Annual Commercial Meeting for EES shall include, at a minimum, its Group Company Chairperson, U.S. President, U.S Vice President of Marketing and U.S. Vice President of Sales, or appropriate substitutes for each. Within 30 days following each Annual Commercial Meeting, Givens Global Marketing Vice President and EESs U.S. Vice President of Marketing will jointly agree upon, update and amend the Marketing Plan. It is understood that while having to consider Givens input in good faith, EES has the sole and ultimate decision making power with regard to all marketing and commercial activities; provided that promotional material and marketing activities that could adversely impact Givens other products will have to be mutually agreed upon between the Parties; and, provided further that all elements set forth in the Marketing Plan are adequately budgeted for. In addition to the Annual Commercial Meeting, the Parties shall use good faith efforts to meet two additional times per year, potentially in conjunction with conventions or other industry meetings.
