Should Kamada decide not to complete the BLA submission process, for any reason whatsoever, other than (a) a negative Clinical Trial outcome, which negative outcome arises solely as a consequence of Kedrion’s failure to follow the approved Protocols for the Clinical Trials, or (b) the Parties’ mutual agreement that a negative Clinical Trial outcome has occurred without either Party’s direct fault, or (c) major regulatory changes in FDA guidelines that pose considerable difficulties on BLA submission, then Kamada shall reimburse Kedrion upon demand, subject to Kedrion’s providing Kamada with applicable documentation to support its reimbursement demands, for all of the third party out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Kedrion from the execution of this Agreement and related to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, up to a maximum amount of [*****], provided, however, that Kedrion is not in material default in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, it being understood and agreed that once Kedrion cures such material default, Kamada shall be required to make the reimbursement contemplated herein. If Kamada fails to maintain the Biologics License, except if such failure arises directly from (a) a breach by Kedrion in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement beyond any applicable notice and cure period, or (b) failure to achieve the expected results in the Clinical Trials due to Kedrion’s default (e.g. Kedrion’s failure to follow the approved Protocol(s)), and further provided that Kedrion has provided Kamada all reasonable assistance required by Kamada in connection with such purpose, or (c) the Parties’ mutual agreement that the Biologics License should no longer be maintained, then Kamada shall reimburse Kedrion on demand for all of Kedrion’s third party out-of-pocket expenses incurred from the execution of this Agreement and related to the performance of Kedrion’s obligations under this Agreement, up to a maximum amount of [*****], provided, however, Kedrion is not in material default in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, it being understood and agreed that once Kedrion cures such material default, Kamada shall be required to make the reimbursement contemplated herein, unless Kamada did not maintain the Biologics License solely as a consequence of such uncured default by Kedrion, in which case, Kamada shall not be required to make such reimbursement. In the event of a dispute concerning whether Kedrion or Kamada is responsible for a negative Clinical Trial outcome (or that a negative Clinical Trial outcome has occurred without either Party’s direct fault), the matter shall be resolved further to the provisions of Article 19, however, the arbitrators shall have the additional right/remedy of apportioning between the Parties the responsibility for the negative Clinical Trials outcome. Notwithstanding the above, the Parties agree that there may be certain instances where a negative Clinical Trial outcome may occur without either Party’s direct fault.

5.14.Minimum Orders.

 

5.14.1.During the [*****] Fiscal Year period (the “Minimum Order Period”) beginning [*****] business days from the date that Kamada notifies Kedrion that Kamada has printed FDA approved packaging on a batch approved by CBER and is able to ship the Product, Kedrion shall be obligated to order from Kamada for each Fiscal Year during the Minimum Order Period, an amount of the Product which represent at least [*****] (the “Market Share”) of the US anti-rabies immunoglobulin market (the “Market”) for such Fiscal Year (the “Minimum Amount”). Should Kedrion exercise its option to extend the original Term, as provided further to the provisions of Section 13.1, then the Market Share for the first Fiscal Year of the Extended Term, shall be changed to [*****] and for the second Fiscal Year of the Extended Term, shall be changed to [*****] and the Minimum Amount for each such Fiscal Year shall be calculated using the foregoing Market Share. It is understood and agreed that during, or prior to, each Fiscal Year, Kamada shall place purchase orders for Plasma with ABS in such amounts as may be required to produce Product units representing not less than the applicable Market Share for such Fiscal Year.

5.14.2.Should Kedrion, during any given Fiscal Year occurring during the Minimum Order Period and, if applicable, during the Extended Term, fail to order an amount of Product which is equal to or exceeds the Minimum Amount for such Fiscal Year (an Order Shortfall”), then Kedrion shall be allowed to cure such Order Shortfall by either (a) ordering from Kamada, in the following Fiscal Year, an amount of the Product equal to the Order Shortfall (it being understood and agreed that such order shall not change the obligation of Kedrion to order the Minimum Amount for such following Fiscal Year), subject to Kamada’s commercially reasonable efforts to manufacture units of the Product in excess of the Minimum Amount for such following Fiscal Year (it being understood and agreed that the manufacture of Product units to meet the Order Shortfall shall take reasonable priority over the manufacture of the Product units for customers outside of the Territory), or (b) paying to Kamada within [*****] after the expiration of the Fiscal Year in which the Order Shortfall occurred (a Shortfall Year”), [*****]. If Kedrion fails to cure an Order Shortfall in accordance with the above provisions within one Fiscal Year of the expiration of the Shortfall Year during which such Order Shortfall occurs, then Kedrion shall (x) lose the exclusivity rights granted to it under Section 3.1 above and (y) immediately transfer, and be deemed to have transferred the Clinical Results and all rights related thereto to Kamada provided, however, that Kamada is not in material breach of its obligations hereunder and has failed to cure such breach within [*****] following receipt of a written notice from Kamada. Without derogating from the foregoing, If Kedrion fails to meet the Minimum Amount in any Fiscal Year and does not make up for the Order Shortfall during the subsequent Fiscal Year as provided above, such failure shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement by Kedrion and will allow Kamada to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2. The Minimum Amount shall be adjusted on a pro-rata basis to compensate for any suspension of the Biologics License. Notwithstanding the minimum order provisions of this Section 5.14, Kamada shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet Kedrion requirements for the Product in excess of the Minimum Amount. If the Order Shortfall occurs during the last Fiscal Year of the Term, the sole remedy of Kamada shall be as set forth in clauses (b), (x) and (y) of this Section 5.14.2. The provisions of this Section 5.14.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

5.15.If Kedrion fails to order Products equal to, or in excess of, the Minimum Amount during any Fiscal Year during the Minimum Order Period (or, if applicable, the Extended Term), then, subject to Kedrion’s right to cure under Sections 5.14.2, Kamada will not be obliged to meet its Minimum Amount obligations hereunder or reimburse Kedrion for all of its third party out-of-pocket expenses in accordance with the provision in Section 3.2.1 above, should Kamada decide not to maintain the Biologics License solely as a consequence of such failure.

All sums so paid by the non-defaulting Party and all costs and expenses incurred by the non-defaulting Party in good faith in connection with the performance of any such act, together with interest thereon at [*****] per annum, from the respective dates of making of each such payment or incurring of each such cost and expense until paid by the defaulting Party and shall be paid by the defaulting Party to the non-defaulting Party within thirty (30) days of demand.

23.FORCE MAJEURE

 

Neither Party hereto shall be liable to the other in damages for, nor shall this Agreement be terminable by reason of, any delay or default in such Party’s performance hereunder, if such delay or default is caused by conditions beyond such Party’s control including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, terrorism, insurrection, civil commotion, destruction of production facilities or materials by earthquake, fire, flood or storm, labor disturbances including strikes or lockouts, epidemic or failure of suppliers, global shortage in Raw Materials, public utilities or common carriers.
