4.2 Adjustment for Combination Products. Solely for the purpose of calculating Net Sales of Combination Products, if Licensee sells Product in the form of a Combination Product containing any Licensed API and one or more other active pharmaceutical ingredients in a particular country, Net Sales of such Combination Product in such country for the purpose of determining the royalty due to Gilead pursuant to Section 4.1 will be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination Product in such country by the fraction A/(A+B), where A is the invoice price of such Product if sold separately in such country, and B is the total invoice price of the other active pharmaceutical ingredient(s) in the combination if sold separately in such country. If, on a country–by–country basis, such other active pharmaceutical ingredient or ingredients in the Combination Product are not sold separately in such country, but the Product component of the Combination Product is sold separately in such country, Net Sales for the purpose of determining royalties due to Gilead for the Combination Product will be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination Product by the fraction A/C, where A is the invoice price of such Product component if sold separately, and C is the invoice price of the Combination Product. If, on a country–by–country basis, such Product component is not sold separately in such country, Net Sales for the purposes of determining royalties due to Gilead for the Combination Product will be D/(D+E), where D is the fair market value of the portion of the Combination Products that contains the Product, and E is the fair market value of the portion of the Combination Products containing the other active pharmaceutical ingredient(s) included in such Combination Product, as such fair market values are determined by mutual agreement of the parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
