Page 5 of 44


 

2.3   The Customer hereby grants LB the non-exclusive right to use the Cell Line, the Customer Materials and the Customer Information for the purpose of performing the Services under this Agreement. The Customer also grants LB a non-exclusive right to use LB Know-How (to the extent such LB Know-How is Customer Information).
 
2.4   The Customer represents to LB that, as of the date hereof:

  2.4.1   Customer has the right to enter into this Agreement;
 
  2.4.2   Customer has the right to (i) supply the Customer Materials and Customer Information to be provided by Customer after the date hereof, and (ii) permit LB’s use of all other Customer Materials and Customer Information, in each case, for the purpose of the performance of LB’s obligations under this Agreement;
 
  2.4.3   Any Customer Materials not owned by Customer are licensed to Customer under a license which will permit their use by LB to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and
 
  2.4.4   to the best of Customer’s knowledge and belief, having made due and careful enquiry, the use by LB of the Customer Materials and Customer Information for performance of LB’s obligations under this Agreement and in accordance with this Agreement (including without limitation the manufacture of the Product) will not infringe any valid intellectual property rights of any third party.

    In addition, Customer warrants that it will promptly notify LB in writing if (a) there is any material change in the ability of the Customer to make the representations in this Clause 2.4 and (b) it receives or is notified of a claim from a third party that the Customer Materials or that the use by LB thereof for the performance of LB’s obligations under this Agreement infringes any intellectual property rights of such third party.
 
2.5   The Parties hereto acknowledge that there currently exist proceedings brought by Kirin Amgen Inc. and others against Customer and others (including LB in some actions) in both England (action numbers HC1999 No. 02916, HC1999 No. 02917, HC1999 No. 03241 and HC 2001 No. 3284) and the United States (collectively, the “Existing Proceedings”) relating to Product and the Cell Line and certain other Customer Materials. The Parties further acknowledge that LB may be accused of or found to infringe third party intellectual property rights in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the LOI and may be liable in damages or by injunction (both interim and final) to such third parties on a standard or punitive basis under the Existing Proceedings or new proceedings or to any other party. In consideration of the Parties entering into the Agreement for the development and manufacture of Product and the above liability factors having been taken into consideration, Customer hereby irrevocably undertakes to LB, without limitation, to indemnify on demand and hold harmless LB in respect of any and all losses, claims, costs, fines, damages or expenses of any nature which LB incurs or suffers and for which LB is not able to recover under an existing and enforceable indemnity from a third party, including Aventis, whether foreseeable or not, direct or otherwise, which LB may incur, become liable for or suffer under the Existing Proceedings, or under any other proceedings or claims (anywhere in the world) arising out of or incidental to:

  2.5.1   any breach of the warranties given by the Customer under Clause 2.4 above;
 
  2.5.2   any claims alleging or finding LB’s manufacture, storage or export of Product and/or use of the Customer Materials infringes any intellectual property rights vested in any third party (whether or not Customer or LB knows or ought to have known about the same); and
 
  2.5.3   any detriment or additional loss caused to LB under the Existing Proceedings as a result of LB’s performance of the Services hereunder or under the LOI which LB

Page 6 of 44


 

      incurs or suffers and for which LB is not able to recover under an existing and enforceable indemnity from a third party, including Aventis;

    provided, however, that LB does not transfer from, or use at, any facility in the United States, including the Portsmouth Facility, any raw, in-process or finished material related to the manufacture or testing of the Product without Customer’s prior written permission (other than the transfer of documentation which does not require permission of Customer). For purposes of clarity, LB acknowledges that the transfer of any cell lines, cell banks, or Product from anywhere in the United States, including the Portsmouth Facility, to the Slough Facility, or the use of any such materials anywhere in the United States, may violate an existing court order or representation made to a court in the United States or the United Kingdom, and LB agrees that it will not so transfer such items without prior written permission of the Customer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Customer shall not be required to indemnify LB (i) to the extent any loss is caused to LB by the use in the United States or transfer of any raw, in-process or finished material related to the manufacture or testing of the Product from any site within the United States to any person or place without having first sought and obtained Customer’s written consent, (ii) to the extent that LB does not comply with Customer’s instructions, provided such instructions are given in good faith and capable of being discharged by LB, do not require LB to act in contravention of the Existing Proceedings or otherwise illegally, or to act in breach of the Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement to which LB might be party, or (iii) to the extent that any claim of infringement is based on LB’s own processes as opposed to the Customer Materials, Customer Information, the Product, or a combination of the Customer Materials, Customer Information, Product and LB’s proprietary processes. Customer shall also indemnify LB in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Clause 2.5 to the extent that LB is required to indemnify any testing laboratory approved by Customer to perform services in connection with the manufacture of the Product hereunder; provided, that such indemnity does not exceed the scope of items that LB would be indemnified for hereunder had it performed such services itself.
 
2.6   The Customer shall further indemnify, hold harmless and maintain LB promptly indemnified against all claims, actions, costs, expenses (including court costs and legal fees on a full indemnity basis) or other liabilities whatsoever in respect of:

  2.6.1   any product liability in respect of Product, except to the extent that such liability is caused by the negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of LB in the production and/or supply of Product; and
 
  2.6.2   any negligent or willful act or omission of the Customer in relation to the use, processing, storage or sale of the Product.

2.7   Except as set forth in Clause 2.5, in no event shall Customer be liable hereunder for any special, indirect or consequential loss, whether arising at contract or at law and irrespective of fault or negligence. For purposes of clarity, it is the intention of Customer and LB that Customer indemnify LB for all damages, whether direct or indirect, awarded against LB for the benefit of a third party in an intellectual property infringement action related to LB’s manufacture of Product and/or use of the Customer Materials, or to any other activity carried out by LB at Customer’s request in accordance with this Agreement, and it is the intent of Customer and LB that Customer not be responsible for LB’s special, indirect or consequential damages in any other circumstance. For purposes of clarity, it is the intention of the Parties that Customer indemnify LB for any special, indirect or consequential damages that LB is forced to pay a third party, including any such payment in connection with the Existing Proceedings, whether such third party is a person, corporation or a governmental entity. It is not the intention of the Parties that Customer would be liable under any circumstances for any special, indirect or consequential damages which LB itself suffers.

2.8   Customer shall obtain and maintain product liability insurance with a reputable and solvent insurance provider in the amount of US$ 10 million per event or linked events. Customer shall ensure that LB’s interest shall be noted on the product liability insurance policy and Customer shall supply LB with a copy of such insurance policy on reasonable request and shall not terminate or amend (other than amending to increase the level of cover) such policy without prior written notice to LB.
 
2.9   In the event that Customer or LB receive notice of a claim which gives rise to liability under this Agreement, it shall promptly notify the other party in general terms of such claim (provided however, that failure to notify shall not relieve either Party of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent such failure prejudices such Party). In the event any proceedings are commenced (or the Existing Proceedings escalated as a result of LB’s performance of its obligations under the Agreement) making it apparent that it will not be possible to complete the Services for legal reasons, then either Party may initiate the discussions referenced in Clause 8.1 and if such discussions do not result in an agreement between the Parties, then either Party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Clause 8.1.
 
2.10   In the event that LB requests indemnification under clause 2.5 or 2.6 above it shall:

  2.10.1   not prejudice any defense or claim or attempt to settle or compromise such claim other than (i) with the prior written consent of Customer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (ii) at LB’s own discretion and its own cost; provided, however, that no settlement requiring any admission by Customer or that imposes any obligation or restriction on Customer or causes Customer prejudice shall be made without Customer’s prior written consent, such consent to be at Customer’s absolute discretion;
 
  2.10.2   subject to LB’s rights under clause 2.11 and to Customer’s obligations under clause 2.12, allow Customer to have exclusive, sole control of, and responsibility for the costs of, the conduct of the negotiations and proceedings, including any counterclaim, any settlement, and/or judgements related thereto. If Customer does not notify LB of its intention to take such control at least seven (7) days prior to the date an answer is due in such action, LB shall have the right to control its own defense and counterclaim and Customer shall be responsible for all reasonable costs associated therewith and shall at its own expense cooperate as reasonably requested by LB in the conduct of any such action;
 
  2.10.3   co-operate as reasonably requested by Customer in the conduct of any claim (and counterclaim) and Customer shall be responsible for all reasonable costs associated therewith.

2.11   No settlement requiring any admission by LB or that imposes any obligation or restriction on LB or causes LB prejudice shall be made without LB’s prior written consent, such consent to be at LB’s absolute discretion.
 
2.12   Where Customer takes control of any proceedings, it shall diligently and properly prosecute and defend LB on its behalf, subject to LB’s other rights from any such claims using resources equal to that it would use in the case of defending itself including the use of recognized and respected attorneys with leading reputations in the relevant area of law concerned with such claim, who shall jointly represent Customer and LB. In such an event, LB shall have the right, at LB’s expense, to hire independent counsel, who shall not appear as counsel in the case, to work with and observe the counsel hired by Customer to represent jointly Customer and LB. Customer shall retain full control over prosecution of the proceedings, but shall allow full access to and grant full cooperation with the independent counsel for the duration of the proceedings so long as such access does not violate any protective or other court order. [**].

2.13   In the event that proceedings are commenced against LB (or in the case of Existing Proceedings become escalated) as a result of performance of LB’s obligations under this Agreement, LB shall not be liable to Customer in the event that LB suspends the performance of its obligations hereunder (which it shall be entitled to do) pursuant to a court order. Additionally, LB shall not be liable to Customer in the event that LB suspends the performance of its obligations hereunder (which it shall be entitled to do) pursuant to a good faith and reasonable recommendation from Customer’s or LB’s attorneys, or in agreement with the Customer. LB shall not suspend the performance of its obligations under this Agreement without first discussing such potential suspension with Customer. Customer and LB shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Clause 8.1 in the event that LB suspends performance pursuant to this Clause 2.13.
 
2.14   The obligations of LB and the Customer under this Clause 2 shall survive the termination for whatever reason of the Agreement for the length of the applicable statute of limitations on a territory-by-territory basis. For the avoidance of doubt, once a claim for indemnification is invoked in a jurisdiction, it is in effect until full and final determination of the claim.

3. Provision of the Services

3.1   LB shall diligently carry out the Services and shall use all reasonable efforts to achieve the estimated timescales described in Schedule 4 hereto. LB shall use all reasonable efforts to schedule the manufacture of Product in accordance with the Customer’s timelines; provided, however, that unless otherwise agreed with the Customer in no event shall LB commence any Stage [**], subject to Clause 9 below. LB and the Customer shall use sound and professional principles and practices in the planning and performance of Services under this Agreement in accordance with normally accepted industry standards, and the performance will reflect LB’s best professional knowledge, skill and judgment. Where Customer requests LB to re-schedule any Stage, LB shall use all reasonable efforts to accommodate such request and shall inform Customer as soon as reasonably practicable of the time and cost implications of such re-scheduling. LB does not guarantee that it will be able to accommodate any request to re-schedule a Stage. It is understood that the Stages set forth in Schedule 2 are not in chronological order, and many stages will be concurrent with one another, as described more fully in Schedule 4 hereto. Before commencing each Stage, LB and the Customer shall produce and sign a concept sheet which describes the activities to be taken during such Stage in detail. Once the concept sheet is signed, LB will commence the Stage, keep the Customer apprised of its progress in that Stage in weekly progress reports, and give the Customer an opportunity to comment on significant decisions related to the implementation of that Stage; provided, however, that in the event that the Customer has not commented on such decision within ten days of being asked to do so by LB, LB shall proceed using its best judgement. LB shall not delay implementation of a Stage based on the failure to obtain a signature on any document other than (i) a concept sheet, as described above or (ii) the signature of a Customer representative if required by a regulatory authority.
 
3.2   LB shall manufacture cGMP Product to meet the Specification; provided that there shall be [**] cGMP Product manufactured [**] agreed to or requested by Customer so long as LB notifies Customer in advance [**]. For the purposes of clarity, LB shall [**] suitable for registration of LB as the manufacturer of the Product (whether or not registration is actually awarded). In respect of each Campaign, LB will deliver an average of at least [**] of Product per Batch less all samples taken from such Batches for routine tests and studies associated with the performance of the Batch; provided, however [**] Product per Batch over the initial [**] less all samples taken from such Batches for use in tests and studies associated with future Batch production. LB shall also maintain appropriate samples as required by cGMP and other regulations, including for required stability testing. LB shall permit a representative of Customer to be present in accordance with the Quality

Page 9 of 44


 

    Agreement during the performance of the Services for purposes of monitoring but LB shall at all times remain responsible for such performance. LB and the Customer have agreed to implement certain changes to the Process, including those set forth on Schedule 5, and LB and the Customer will use their reasonable efforts to implement such changes as promptly as practicable, consistent with the overall goal of bringing the Product to market as quickly as possible.
 
3.3   LB acknowledges the importance of timely performance of all of its obligations hereunder, and that any delay can have significant financial consequences to Customer and medical consequences to patients utilizing the Product. Therefore, LB undertakes to use all reasonable efforts to complete all of its obligations hereunder in a timely manner and in accordance with the schedules agreed upon by Customer and LB. However, the timescales set down for the performance of the Services (including without limitation the dates for production and Delivery of Product) and the quantities of Product for Delivery set out in Schedule 2 are estimated only to the extent that they may be affected by the unpredictable nature of the biological processes involved in the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LB agrees to deliver all Product in accordance with the timing set forth in the relevant Binding Order.
 
3.4   Without prejudice to LB’s obligations under Clauses 3.1 and 3.2 and absent the negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct of LB, the Customer shall not be entitled to cancel any unfulfilled part of the Services or to refuse to accept the Services on grounds of (a) late performance, (b) late delivery or (c) failure to produce the estimated quantities of Product for Delivery; provided, however, that in the case of (a) or (b), if, due primarily to the fault or negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of LB, Product is manufactured or delivered more than [**] months after the scheduled manufacture or delivery date, as the case may be, then Customer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Clause 8.5.1. LB shall not be liable for any loss, damage, costs or expenses of any nature, whether direct or consequential, occasioned by:

  3.4.1   any delay in performance or Delivery to the extent that such delay is a result of the unpredictable nature of the biological processes involved in the Services (as opposed to any lack of diligence on the part of LB); or
 
  3.4.2   any failure to produce the estimated quantities of Product for Delivery to the extent that such failure is a result of the unpredictable nature of the biological processes involved in the Services (as opposed to any negligence or willful misconduct on the part of LB).

    Provided that if a significant failure to produce the agreed estimated quantities (if any) of Product for Delivery arises due to negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by LB, the Parties shall agree on a commercially reasonable mechanism by which to compensate Customer.
 
3.5   LB shall comply with all applicable regulatory requirements applicable to the Services, including the International Committee for Harmonisation, any requirements imposed by the EMEA, and those requirements set out in Schedule 2.
 
3.6   LB hereby undertakes not to use the Cell Line, the Customer Materials or the Customer Information (or any part thereof) for any purpose other than the performance of the Services.
 
3.7   LB shall:

  3.7.1   at all times use all reasonable endeavours to keep the Cell Line and/or the Customer Materials secure and safe from loss and damage in such manner as LB stores its own material of similar nature;

Page 10 of 44


 

  3.7.2   not part with possession of the Cell Line and/or the Customer Materials or the Product, save for the purpose of tests at the Testing Laboratories and the storage of the Cell Bank at a second secure location to be chosen with the consent of the Customer, and subject to any legal requirement imposed on LB by the Existing Proceedings or any other legal proceedings; and
 
  3.7.3   procure that all Testing Laboratories are subject to obligations of confidence substantially in the form of those obligations of confidence imposed on LB under this Agreement.

3.8   Customer shall have the right to substitute one or more other products (each, an “Alternate Product”) for the Product, and the terms of this Agreement shall apply to such Alternate Product as if it were the Product; provided, however that the price paid for the manufacture of such Alternate Product shall be adjusted as described in Schedule 3 hereto. In the event that the development or manufacture is delayed for any reason, including without limitation, pursuant to an injunction, then Customer may substitute an Alternate Product with the Product for the period of such delay. An Alternate Product shall not include any product that would present a risk to (a) the operation of the Slough Facility as a site where many third-party biological products are manufactured, or (b) any of LB’s employees.
 
3.9   Customer and LB shall enter into a Quality Agreement in a form to be agreed by the Parties. The Quality Agreement shall describe their respective responsibilities related to maintaining the quality of the Product. It is understood that Lonza is primarily responsible for the release of the purified bulk Product to the Customer for further processing, including the maintenance of quality systems and ensuring the quality of the Product in accordance with cGMP.
 
3.10   LB grants Customer the right to audit or to appoint third parties reasonably acceptable to LB to audit, under applicable confidentiality provisions, at any reasonable time, the facilities employed, raw materials purchased on Customer’s behalf and the invoices for same, in-process and finished Product inventory, inventory of materials purchased on Customer’s behalf and the financial and other documentation utilized by LB in tracking services and materials purchased on Customer’s behalf, in each case, to the extent that it relates the Product or the Process. Customer will endeavor to notify LB at least twenty (20) days in advance of such an audit by Customer and thirty (30) days in advance of such an audit by a third party. Customer shall promptly report to LB with respect to any issues discovered by such audits (including without limitation failures to comply with batch records and cGMP), and LB shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to remedy such issues as soon as possible. To the extent that the results of any such audit are disputed, the Parties agree to engage a mutually acceptable public accounting firm to perform such audit.
 
3.11   LB shall permit inspections of LB’s facilities by governmental authorities (such as the United States of America Food and Drug Administration and equivalent European and Japanese regulatory authorities or other regulatory authorities from countries in which Customer anticipates filing or has filed a marketing registration) for any registration or pending registration for manufacturing of bulk purified Product. Customer reserves the right to be present at all such inspections and to review and consult on any response to adverse or objectionable observations or findings cited by any regulatory authority prior to submission with such regulatory authority; provided, however, that with respect to any Product-specific observation or pre-approval inspection, Customer must approve any such response in advance, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. LB shall report to Customer with respect to any issues discovered by such audits (including without limitation failures to comply with batch records and cGMP), and LB shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to remedy any issues arising from such audit as soon as possible and Customer shall approve such remedy in advance, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

3.12   In the event that LB is found by any regulatory authority to have failed to comply with regulatory requirements related to the Slough Facility or which may affect the manufacture of the Product, LB shall so notify Customer in writing within [**] days after learning of such failure and shall explain in writing to Customer the steps that it is taking to prevent such failure from occurring again in the future.
 
3.13   It is the intention of LB and the Customer that the Customer be able to recreate the Process as described in any governmental registration of the Product at another facility at any time. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer Information, Customer Materials, and the Process are owned and shall continue to be owned by the Customer. The Customer shall also own all non-fixed assets, such as columns, paid for by the Customer. The provisions of this Clause 3.13 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
 
3.14   In the event that the Customer commences transfer of the Process to a third party, then the Customer shall so notify LB in writing. LB shall assist in such transfer as reasonably requested by the Customer, at Customer’s cost at a rate of [**] per hour, [**]. The provisions of this Clause 3.14 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
 
3.15   In the event that the Customer receives a bona fide offer from a contract manufacturing organization to manufacture the Product, then the Customer shall give LB [**] days notice prior to accepting such bona fide offer, and LB shall have a right to enter into an agreement to manufacture the Product on substantially the same terms as contained in such bona fide offer.

4.   Delivery, Transportation of Product, Customer Tests, Forecasting and Ordering
 
4.1   Product shall be Delivered EXW (ex-works) LB premises (as defined by Incoterms 2000) which means (a) when LB places Product at the disposal of Customer at LB’s premises not cleared for export and not loaded onto any collecting vehicle and (b) risk and title to Product pass to Customer upon Delivery (“Deliver,” “Delivery,” or “Delivered,” as appropriate). Subject to Clause 4.2, LB shall deliver to Customer the Certificate of Analysis and any other required documentation not later than the date of Delivery. Transportation of Product, whether or not under any arrangements made by LB on behalf of Customer, shall be made at the sole risk and expense of the Customer.
 
4.2   At Customer’s request, LB will Deliver Product in quarantine prior to delivery of the Certificate of Analysis. Such request shall be accompanied by Customer’s written acknowledgement that the Product has been Delivered without the transmittal to Customer of a Certificate of Analysis, that accordingly the Product cannot be administered to humans until transmittal of the Certificate of Analysis, and that Customer nevertheless accepts full risk of loss, title and ownership of the Product. The Delivery of Product in quarantine shall be subject to such testing requirements as LB may reasonably require, and the [**] day period referred to in Clause 4.8 shall run from Delivery in quarantine by Customer of the Product.
 
4.3   Unless otherwise agreed, LB shall package and label Product for Delivery in accordance with its standard operating procedures. LB shall provide Customer with a copy of its standard operating procedures for shipping and provide Customer an adequate opportunity to review it before shipping any Product. It shall be the responsibility of the Customer to inform LB in writing in advance of any special packaging and labeling requirements for Product. All additional costs and expenses reasonably incurred by LB in complying with such special requirements shall be charged to the Customer in addition to the Price.
 
4.4   If requested in writing by the Customer, LB will (acting as agent for Customer) arrange for insurance of Product whilst held by LB after Delivery (awaiting transportation) for a maximum of fourteen (14) days on terms equivalent to those under which LB insures

Page 12 of 44


 

    product prior to Delivery. All additional costs and expenses reasonably incurred by LB in arranging such insurance shall be charged to the Customer in addition to the Price.
 
4.5   If requested in writing by the Customer, LB will (acting as agent of the Customer for such purpose) arrange the transportation of Product from LB’s premises to the destination indicated by the Customer together with insurance cover for Product in transit at its invoiced value. All additional costs and expenses reasonably incurred by LB in arranging such transportation and insurance shall be charged to the Customer in addition to the Price.
 
4.6   Where LB has made arrangements for the transportation of Product, the Customer shall diligently examine the Product as soon as practicable after receipt. Notice of all claims (time being of the essence) arising out of:

  4.6.1   visible damage to or total or partial loss of Product in transit shall be given in writing to LB and the carrier within [**] working days of receipt by Customer or its designee; or
 
  4.6.2   non-Delivery shall be given in writing to LB within [**] days after the date of LB’s dispatch notice.

4.7   The Customer shall make damaged Product and associated packaging materials available for inspection and shall comply with the requirements of any insurance policy covering the Product notified by LB to the Customer in writing. LB shall offer the Customer all reasonable assistance (at the cost and expense of the Customer) in pursuing any claims arising out of the transportation of Product.
 
4.8   Promptly following receipt of Product or any sample thereof, the Customer may carry out any of the tests outlined or referred to in the Specification set out in Schedule 1. Subject to the first sentence of Clause 3.2, if such tests show that the Product fails to meet Specification, the Customer shall give LB written notice thereof within [**] days from the date of Delivery and shall return a portion of such Product to LB’s premises sufficient to allow LB to conduct further testing. In the absence of such written notice Product shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Customer as meeting Specification. Subject to the first sentence of Clause 3.2, if Customer has reasonably demonstrated that Product returned to LB fails to meet Specification and that such failure is not due to acts or omissions of the Customer or any third party after Delivery, LB shall at Customer’s discretion refund that part of the Price that relates to the production of such Product or replace such Product at LB’s own cost and expense. In the event Customer requires LB to replace such Product, LB shall use all reasonable endeavours to do so with the minimum delay having regard to its commitments to third parties in the timing of such replacement.
 
4.9   Subject to the first sentence of Clause 3.2, if there is any dispute concerning whether Product returned to LB fails to meet Specification or whether such failure is due to acts or omissions of the Customer or any third party after Delivery, such dispute shall be referred for decision to an independent expert (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) to be appointed by agreement between LB and the Customer or, in the absence of agreement by the President for the time being of the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry. The costs of such independent expert shall be borne by the Party against whom such independent expert rules. The decision of such independent expert shall be in writing and, save for manifest error on the face of the decision, shall be binding on both LB and the Customer.
 
4.10   The provisions of Clauses 4.8 and 4.9 shall be the sole remedy available to the Customer in respect of Product that fails to meet Specification.
 
4.11   Customer shall order commercial Product in campaigns (each, a “Campaign”) of at least [**] Batches. The Customer shall place a Binding Order for at least [**] per calendar year

Page 13 of 44


 

    (beginning in calendar year [**]) unless the Agreement is terminated prior to [**] of such calendar year, in which case such minimum order requirement shall not apply to such calendar year. [**].
     
 
4.12   Customer shall provide LB with a [**] forecast (the “Forecast”) of Customer’s expected requirements [**] Product to be delivered in each of the next [**] calendar quarters. The first Forecast will be delivered to LB no later than [**]. Customer shall update the Forecast quarterly based on calendar quarters. LB agrees to notify Customer in advance of accepting any bona fide order for manufacturing capacity received by it from a third party which would limit LB’s ability to fulfill Customer’s requirements as described in the Forecast. Customer shall have [**] days upon receipt of such notification to place a Binding Order (as defined below) with respect to the manufacturing capacity that LB proposes to sell to such third party. If Customer fails to place a Binding Order during such [**] day period, then LB may accept such order from such third party.
 
    For example, if the Customer includes in the Forecast a desire for [**] Batches during calendar quarters 6, 7 and 8 of the Forecast and LB has a bona fide offer which, if accepted, would only allow LB to produce [**] Batches for the Customer during such calendar quarters, then LB shall notify the Customer of the bona fide offer in advance of accepting such bona fide offer, and the Customer may place Binding Orders for up to the [**] Batches which were Forecast for such calendar quarters. In the event that the Customer does not submit such Binding Order within [**] days of receiving such notice from LB, LB may accept such bona fide offer.
 
4.13   Customer may from time to time submit an order (a “Binding Order”) for the Customer’s required number of Campaigns and number of Batches per Campaign [**]) for Product to be Delivered in a given calendar quarter. LB agrees to accept each Binding Order submitted by Customer; provided, however, that LB shall not be required to accept a Binding Order submitted to LB after [**] if such Binding Order requires LB to [**] of the date of the Binding Order.
 
4.14   Bulk Product delivered to the Customer by LB shall expire [**] from the date of Delivery to the Customer or its designee.
 
5.   Price and Terms of Payment

Invoices will be sent in accordance with Schedule 3, and all invoices for commercial Product shall be sent no earlier than the Delivery of Product to the Customer. The cost of raw materials and third party testing shall be invoiced to the Customer on a monthly basis as such costs are incurred in the manufacture of Product. All invoices are strictly net and absent a good faith dispute, payment must be made within [**] days of date of receipt of invoice by Customer. In the event a Binding Order is cancelled by the Customer, LB shall invoice the Customer on the dates LB would have invoiced the Customer had the Product been manufactured in accordance with such Binding Order.
 
5.2   In default of payment on due date:

  5.2.1   interest shall accrue on any amount overdue at the rate of four percent (4%) above the base lending rate from time to time of National Westminster Bank plc, interest to accrue on a day to day basis both before and after judgment; and
