that Pfizer perform either additional work or repeat work, and such additional work is required not because of Pfizer’s fault or negligence, or (iii) the parties mutually agree to conduct additional work related to the subject matter of this Agreement, Pfizer shall provide AMAG with terms and conditions of any such additional, repeat or new work, including the scope of work, pricing, timeframes and responsibilities in a proposal to be mutually agreed upon in writing and signed by both parties (each, a “Proposal”). Pfizer’s pricing will reflect professional service fees quoted at a rate of […***…]. Each Proposal shall reference this Agreement, shall be implemented as a change order, a statement of work or an amendment to this Agreement and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern and control any and all such additional, repeat or new work; provided, however, that if any provision of any Proposal conflicts with this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail with respect to all terms except pricing terms.
(b) Expansion of Territory. AMAG shall give Pfizer reasonable prior notice in the event that it desires to pursue marketing and sales activities for the Product in countries or geographic regions outside of the Territory. The parties will then determine the preparatory work that may be required (if any) and upon agreement, Pfizer shall provide AMAG with all necessary additional technical/developmental and regulatory support, including, for example, regulatory support for AMAG’s supplemental regulatory filings, packaging and product development, labeling, and relevant Regulatory Authority inspections.

The Steering Committee will be considered as a working committee that will have as its goal the prompt and mutually agreeable resolution of any financial, technical or quality issues that may arise in order to advance and preserve a harmonious relationship established by and between Pfizer and AMAG. Either party may change its representatives on the Steering Committee at any time by written notice to the other party.

Pfizer Logger Policies
The following policies shall apply for all shipments of Commercial Products and Development Supplies (including drug product samples from development Batches) in which a Pfizer CentreOne customer AMAG requests or requires that electronic temperature monitoring devices (“Loggers”) be included in the shipment as a means of supplementary assurance of complying with the controlled room temperature storage/shipping conditions under which the products should be maintained.
It is Pfizer’s policy that if a Pfizer CentreOne Customer desires to include Loggers in shipments of tested and released Commercial Products, the Pfizer CentreOne Customer must supply the Loggers at its own cost and responsibility.
For shipments of Development Supplies or drug product samples from development Batches, it is Pfizer’s preference that the Pfizer CentreOne Customer also supply the Loggers at its own cost and expense. However, as an accommodation to its Pfizer CentreOne Customer, Pfizer is willing to provide standard, non-specialized Loggers to be included the Development Supply or drug product sample shipment as a supplementary means of assuring that the shipment has been made under controlled room temperature storage/shipping conditions. Pfizer procures Loggers from reputable third party vendors and relies on the representations and warranties of these vendors for the quality and correct functioning of the Temptale devices. Although Pfizer will do

a preliminary check on the Loggers to ensure that they are functioning as intended before placing them in the drug product shipment packing and containers, it will perform no detailed testing or undertake any special calibration before use.
Pfizer therefore cannot be responsible and will not be liable to any Pfizer CentreOne Customer for any and all losses, damages, liabilities, expenses and costs arising from any claim or allegation that the Loggers supplied by Pfizer have failed in their intended use during shipment of the Development Supplies or drug product samples. The Pfizer CentreOne Customer acknowledges and agrees that the failure or improper functioning of the Pfizer-supplied Loggers will not give rise to any cause of action against Pfizer or serve as a basis for the Pfizer CentreOne Customer to reject the shipment of the Development Supplies or drug product samples.
In addition, if Pfizer is requested to provide Loggers on accommodation, Pfizer will only supply the Temptale devices. It is the Pfizer CentreOne Customer’s responsibility to have acquired the hardware and software from the Temptale manufacturer that is necessary to read the data collected by the Temptale during shipment.
The Pfizer CentreOne Customer may be requested to sign a document acknowledging its understanding and acceptance of the above-stated Temptale policies.
EXHIBIT 7.1
Product Test Methods
In consultation with AMAG, no later than […***…] after the Effective Date, Pfizer will use all reasonable efforts to prepare and complete documentation describing the procedures, methods and protocols by which the Product will be tested and released, as specified in Section 7.1 of this Agreement. Upon completion, such documentation shall be attached to this Exhibit 7.1 and shall be made an integral part of this Agreement.
EXHIBIT 12.4
Alternative Dispute Resolution
The Parties recognize that bona fide disputes as to certain matters may arise from time to time during the term of this Agreement which relate to either party’s rights and/or obligations. To have such a dispute resolved by this Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) provision, a party first must send written notice of the dispute to the other party for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations between their respective presidents (or their designee(s), provided any such designee has the authority to act on behalf of such party to effectuate any such resolution) of the affected subsidiaries, divisions, or business units within […***…] days after such notice is received (all references to “days” in this ADR provision are to calendar days).
If the matter has not been resolved within […***…] days of the notice of dispute, or if the Parties fail to meet within such […***…] days, either party may initiate an ADR proceeding as provided herein. The Parties shall have the right to be represented by counsel in such a proceeding.
Exhibit Page 45

CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT WERE OMITTED AND REPLACED WITH “[…***…]”. A COMPLETE VERSION OF THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION REQUESTING CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT UNDER RULE 24B-2 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.
1. To begin an ADR proceeding, a party shall provide written notice to the other party of the issues to be resolved by ADR. Within […***…] days after its receipt of such notice, the other party may, by written notice to the party initiating the ADR, add additional issues to be resolved within the same ADR.
2. Within […***…] days following receipt of the original ADR notice, the Parties shall select a mutually acceptable neutral having requisite legal expertise and credentials (including with respect to the substantive law of the State of New York) to preside in the resolution of any disputes in this ADR proceeding. If the Parties are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable neutral within such period, either party may request the President of the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution (“CPR”), 366 Madison Avenue, 14th Floor, New York, New York 10017, to select a neutral pursuant to the following procedures:
(a) The CPR shall submit to the Parties a list of not less than […***…] candidates within […***…] days after receipt of the request, along with a Curriculum Vita for each candidate. No candidate shall be an employee, director, or shareholder of either party or any of their subsidiaries or Affiliates.
(b) Such list shall include a statement of disclosure by each candidate of any circumstances likely to affect his or her impartiality.
(c) Each party shall number the candidates in order of preference (with the number one (1) signifying the greatest preference) and shall deliver the list to the CPR within […***…] days following receipt of the list of candidates. If a party believes a conflict of interest exists regarding any of the candidates, that party shall provide a written explanation of the conflict to the CPR along with its list showing its order of preference for the candidates. Any party failing to return a list of preferences on time shall be deemed to have no order of preference.
(d) If the Parties collectively have identified fewer than […***…] candidates deemed to have conflicts, the CPR immediately shall designate as the neutral the candidate for whom the Parties collectively have indicated the greatest preference. If a tie should result between two candidates, the CPR may designate either candidate. If the Parties collectively have identified […***…] or more candidates deemed to have conflicts, the CPR shall review the explanations regarding conflicts and, in its sole discretion, may either (i) immediately designate as the neutral the candidate for whom the Parties collectively have indicated the greatest preference, or (ii) issue a new list of not less than […***…] candidates, in which case the procedures set forth in subparagraphs 2(a)-2(d) shall be repeated.
3. No earlier than […***…] days or later than […***…] days after selection, the neutral shall hold a hearing to resolve each of the issues identified by the Parties. The ADR proceeding shall take place at a location agreed upon by the Parties. If the Parties cannot agree, the neutral shall designate a location other than the principal place of business of either party or any of their subsidiaries or Affiliates.
4. At least […***…] days prior to the hearing, each party shall submit the following to the other party and the neutral:
(a) a copy of all exhibits on which such party intends to rely in any oral or written presentation to the neutral;

(b) a list of any witnesses such party intends to call at the hearing, and a short summary of the anticipated testimony of each witness;
(c) a proposed ruling on each issue to be resolved, together with a request for a specific damage award or other remedy for each issue. The proposed rulings and remedies shall not contain any recitation of the facts or any legal arguments and shall not exceed one (1) page per issue.
(d) a brief in support of such party’s proposed rulings and remedies, provided that the brief shall not exceed forty (40) pages. This page limitation shall apply regardless of the number of issues raised in the ADR proceeding.
Except as expressly set forth in subparagraphs 4(a)-4(d), no discovery shall be required or permitted by any means, including depositions, interrogatories, requests for admissions, or production of documents.
5. The hearing shall be conducted on […***…] consecutive days and shall be governed by the following rules:
(a) Each party shall be entitled to […***…] hours of hearing time to present its case. The neutral shall determine whether each party has had the […***…] hours to which it is entitled.
(b) Each party shall be entitled, but not required, to make an opening statement, to present regular and rebuttal testimony, documents or other evidence, to cross-examine witnesses, and to make a closing argument. Cross-examination of witnesses shall occur immediately after their direct testimony, and cross-examination time shall be charged against the party conducting the cross-examination.
(c) The party initiating the ADR shall begin the hearing and, if it chooses to make an opening statement, shall address not only issues it raised but also any issues raised by the responding party. The responding party, if it chooses to make an opening statement, also shall address all issues raised in the ADR. Thereafter, the presentation of regular and rebuttal testimony and documents, other evidence, and closing arguments shall proceed in the same sequence.
(d) Except when testifying, witnesses shall be excluded from the hearing until closing arguments.
(e) Settlement negotiations, including any statements made therein, shall not be admissible under any circumstances. Affidavits prepared for purposes of the ADR hearing also shall not be admissible. As to all other matters, the neutral shall have sole discretion regarding the admissibility of any evidence.
6. Within […***…] days following completion of the hearing, each party may submit to the other party and the neutral a post-hearing brief in support of its proposed rulings and remedies, provided that such brief shall not contain or discuss any new evidence and shall not exceed […***…] pages. This page limitation shall apply regardless of the number of issues raised in the ADR proceeding.
7. The neutral shall rule on each disputed issue within […***…] days following completion of the hearing. Such ruling shall adopt in its entirety the proposed ruling and remedy of one of the Parties on each disputed issue but may adopt one party’s proposed rulings and remedies on some issues and the other party’s

proposed rulings and remedies on other issues. The neutral shall not issue any written opinion or otherwise explain the basis of the ruling or award.
8. The neutral shall be paid a reasonable fee plus expenses. These fees and expenses, along with the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing party (including all expert witness fees and expenses), the fees and expenses of a court reporter, and any expenses for a hearing room, shall be paid as follows:
(a) If the neutral rules in favor of one party on all disputed issues in the ADR, the losing party shall pay […***…] of such fees and expenses.
(b) If the neutral rules in favor of one party on some issues and the other party on other issues, the neutral shall issue with the rulings a written determination as to how such fees and expenses shall be allocated between the Parties. The neutral shall allocate fees and expenses in a way that bears a reasonable relationship to the outcome of the ADR, with the party prevailing on more issues, or on issues of greater value or gravity, recovering a relatively larger share of its legal fees and expenses.
9. The rulings of the neutral and the allocation of fees and expenses shall be binding, non-reviewable (except for an alleged act of corruption or fraud on the part of the arbitrator), and non-appealable, and may be entered as a final judgment in any court having jurisdiction.
10. Except as provided in paragraph 9 or as required by law, the existence of the dispute, any settlement negotiations, the ADR hearing, any submissions (including exhibits, testimony, proposed rulings, and briefs), and the rulings shall be deemed Confidential Information. The neutral shall have the authority to impose sanctions for unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information.
12. The neutral may not award any form of damages or relief prohibited by Section 8.7 of the Agreement.
13. The neutral shall have the authority to grant injunctive relief and other specific performance.
14. The neutral shall, in rendering its decision, apply the substantive law of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
15. The hearings shall be conducted in the English language.
