Article 4, FORECASTS, ORDERS, and CAPACITY
4.1 Forecasts and Order Limits.
4.1.1 Commencing on the date of this Agreement, and prior to October 1 of each year thereafter, AMYLIN will provide to BAXTER in writing an annual forecast for each calendar year during the remainder of the Term of AMYLINs estimated contract requirements for Product (the Long Range Forecast). The annual forecast for the first full year of the Long Range Forecast shall be the Annual Forecast. Commencing on the date of this Agreement and prior to each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, of each year thereafter, AMYLIN will provide BAXTER in writing an [***] rolling forecast of AMYLINs estimated contract requirements for Product by Presentation (the Rolling Forecast). BAXTER specifically agrees that such Long Range Forecasts and Rolling Forecasts submitted by AMYLIN will be for general planning purposes only, and shall not be binding on AMYLIN or BAXTER, except as specified in Section 4.1.2.
4.1.2 During each calendar quarter, BAXTER shall supply AMYLIN with the quantity of Product ordered by AMYLIN, unless the quantity ordered in any calendar [***] exceeds [***] percent ([***]%) of the quantity purchased in the previous calendar [***], in which event BAXTER shall use good faith efforts to supply quantities in excess of such amount. For each Rolling Forecast submitted by AMYLIN, in no event shall AMYLIN purchase less than (a) [***] percent ([***]%) of the quantity forecasted by Presentation for the [***] quarter of such Rolling Forecast, (b) [***] percent ([***]%) of the quantity of Product forecasted by Presentation for the [***] quarter of such Rolling Forecast, and (c) [***] percent ([***]%) of the quantity of Product forecasted by Presentation for the [***] quarter of such Rolling Forecast (collectively, the Minimum Quantity). Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no Minimum Quantity for the first calendar year after Regulatory Approval of the Product in the United States. In each succeeding calendar [***], in the event AMYLIN purchases in any given [***] less than the corresponding portion of the Minimum Quantity for said [***] within [***] ([***]) days after the end of such [***] AMYLIN shall pay to BAXTER the difference between the Purchase Price of Product actually purchased and the Purchase Price of the
* Confidential Treatment Request(ed)
corresponding portion of the Minimum Quantity in said quarter, provided, however, AMYLIN shall not be required to make any such payments to the extent AMYLIN has submitted Purchase Orders for the Minimum Quantity and BAXTER confirmed such Purchase Orders to be Firm Purchase Orders, but BAXTER was unable to deliver such quantities of Product due to the negligence of BAXTER. In any given Rolling Forecast, (a) the quantity forecasted for the [***] of such Rolling Forecast shall not be less than (a) [***] percent ([***]%) of the [***] forecast in the immediately preceding Rolling Forecast and (b) [***] percent ([***]%) of the [***] forecast in the immediately preceding Rolling Forecast.
4.2 Purchase Orders. AMYLIN shall submit Purchase Orders to BAXTER covering AMYLINs purchases of Product pursuant to this Agreement. AMYLIN shall not, without the written consent of BAXTER, designate a delivery date in a Purchase Order earlier than [***] ([***]) calendar days from the date AMYLIN submits the Purchase Order. Within ten (10) calendar days of BAXTERs receipt of the Purchase Order, BAXTER shall provide a confirmation of receipt of each Purchase Order setting forth a Batch (or lot) number (if available), the delivery date that BAXTER will meet and setting forth BAXTERs filling date for such order. Upon AMYLINs receipt of such confirmation, such Purchase Order shall become a non-cancelable Firm Purchase Order, and AMYLIN shall be obligated to purchase from BAXTER all Product ordered in a Firm Purchase Order. If BAXTER is unable to meet the specified delivery date BAXTER shall so notify AMYLIN and provide to AMYLIN an alternative delivery date which shall not be more than [***] ([***]) calendar days later than the initial delivery date designated by AMYLIN in its Purchase Order; provided that the alternative delivery date is no longer than [***] and [***] ([***]) calendar days from the issue of the AMYLIN Purchase Order. To the extent of any conflict between Purchase Orders submitted by AMYLIN and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control.
4.3 Annual Obligation. AMYLIN shall be obligated to purchase from BAXTER a minimum number of Units of such Product in each calendar year during the Term of this Agreement as specified in Exhibit F (the Annual Obligation), which Annual Obligation shall be pro rated for any partial calendar year. Within [***] ([***]) days after the end of each calendar year, AMLYIN shall pay to BAXTER the difference between the Purchase Price of the Product actually purchased pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.2 by AMYLIN and the Purchase Price of the Annual Obligation of the Product. BAXTER specifically agrees there shall be no Annual Obligation for the first calendar year after Regulatory Approval in the United States.
4.4 Annual Order Increases. In any calendar year after the first calendar year and during the Term of this Agreement, in no event shall BAXTER be obligated to Produce more than the lesser of (a) the greater of (i) [***] percent ([***]%) of the
* Confidential Treatment Request(ed)
quantity of Product Produced by BAXTER in the preceding calendar year or (ii) [***] ([***]) Units in excess of the quantity of Product Produced by BAXTER in the preceding calendar year, and (b) [***] ([***]) Units of Product; provided, however, BAXTER will use good faith efforts to meet such increased demand.
Article 5, PRICE
5.1 Regulatory Services Price. The price to be paid by AMYLIN for regulatory services shall be set forth in Exhibit B.
5.2 Product Purchase Price. The Purchase Price will be fixed for the Initial Term (as hereinafter defined) of this Agreement as specified in Exhibit B. The Purchase Price for Product for each calendar year will be the price specified in Exhibit B corresponding to the annual volume which is the greater of (a) [***] percent ([***]%) of the Annual Forecast or (b) the Annual Obligation for such calendar year. AMYLIN shall pay the Purchase Price as determined above for all Product, including Units accepted by AMYLIN pursuant to Article 7 samples consumed by BAXTER for release testing, samples shipped for AMYLIN release and stability testing, and any retention samples; except as provided for in Article 7. In the event AMYLIN requests a change in scope for Production of Product or Regulatory Authority associated with the Production, BAXTER may adjust the Purchase Price for Product or for a particular Presentation of Product as set forth in a revision to Exhibit B as mutually agreed to by the parties.
5.3 Purchase Price Adjustment. Upon expiration of the Initial Term or any extension thereof, BAXTER may adjust the Purchase Price of Product to reflect changes in the cost of materials provided by BAXTER, labor costs paid by BAXTER in connection with the Production of such Product, improvements in the manufacturing process, and any other improvements. Following the first year of Regulatory Approval, AMYLIN and BAXTER agree to meet no less than [***] per calendar year to formally review continuous improvement activities and other improvements resulting from experience in operating the new process. AMYLIN and BAXTER shall work together to obtain process improvements and any net cost savings achieved by the parties shall be [***], after taking into account any necessary [***] or [***] costs related to the process improvements and any current [***] and [***] cost increases. [***] calendar quarters prior to expiration of the Initial Term or any extension thereof, BAXTER shall provide to AMYLIN notification of such Purchase Price adjustment. If the parties cannot in good faith agree on the proposed Purchase Price adjustment, the dispute will be discussed between the senior management of both AMYLIN and BAXTER. In no event may BAXTER increase the Purchase Price following the Initial Term by a percent which exceeds the lesser of (i) the percentage change in the [***] ([***]) for the
* Confidential Treatment Request(ed)
previous [***] ([***]) months or (ii) [***] percent ([***]%) of the original Purchase Price.
5.4 Inventory Levels. At the end of each calendar year, the parties will review the inventory levels of Components purchased by BAXTER pursuant to AMYLINs Rolling Forecast. In the event AMYLIN fails to consume pursuant to AMYLINs Firm Purchase Orders [***] percent ([***]%) of the Components purchased by BAXTER, AMYLIN shall pay to BAXTER the costs of such Components purchased by BAXTER and not consumed by AMYLIN. The amount of such payments will be deducted from the Purchase Price of Product purchased by AMYLIN after BAXTERs receipt of such payments until such time as all such paid-up Components have been consumed.
5.5 Yield Requirement. Following the Production of (a) the [***] ([***]) process validation Batches of each Presentation of Product and (b) the initial [***] ([***]) post-process validation Batches of each Presentation of Product (the Yield Batches) the parties will determine the expected yield (EY) for each Presentation of Product, which EY shall be equal to the [***] by Presentation resulting from the Yield Batches less [***]. If there is a manufacturing anomaly in one or more of the Yield Batches, the parties may agree to eliminate such Batch from the EY calculation or may require an additional Batch be included. In the event Baxter fails to meet such EY on average for Batches Produced in the first quarter after which EY was determined, provided such Presentation of Product was Produced in such quarter, BAXTER will deliver on average during any calendar quarter thereafter not less than such mutually agreed upon EY for each Presentation of Product for all Batches Released during such quarter, provided a minimum of [***] ([***]) such Batches have been Released for each Presentation, including all Units Released by BAXTER, samples consumed by BAXTER for release testing, samples shipped for AMYLIN release and stability testing, and any retention samples. If [***] ([***]) Batches of each Presentation of Product were not Released in such calendar quarter, the reconciliation process described herein will be performed when the [***] ([***]) such Batch, following the most recent reconciliation, is Released and invoiced by BAXTER. In the event that BAXTER delivers, on average, an actual yield (AY) for Batches Released in any calendar quarter which is lower than EY set out above, at the end of such calendar quarter, Baxter will reimburse AMYLIN according to the following formula:
[***];
provided, however, such amount shall not exceed [***] percent ([***]%) of the Purchase Price of such Presentation of Product purchased by AMYLIN in such calendar quarter, or applicable time period. If the actual yield is low due to additional sampling, testing, technical transfer, stability, or AMYLIN requested samples for a given Batch, such Batch will not be included in the quarterly calculation and BAXTER will not reimburse AMYLIN for such deficit. The
* Confidential Treatment Request(ed)
foregoing represents the sole liability of BAXTER and the sole and exclusive remedy of AMYLIN for yield shortfall.
5.6 Loss of Exenatide Drug Substance. If any lot of Exenatide Drug Substance is destroyed, damaged or lost while in BAXTERs custody, control or storage unless such destruction, damage or loss was outside of the reasonable control of BAXTER, BAXTER shall reimburse AMYLIN for its actual out-of-pocket costs for the Exenatide Drug Substance, provided such reimbursement shall not exceed [***] percent ([***]%) of the Purchase Price of a Batch of Product that would have been Produced from such Batch or lot of Exenatide Drug Substance, and AMYLIN shall not be responsible for payment of the Purchase Price to BAXTER for any Batch that would have been produced for such Exenatide Drug Substance. The foregoing represents the sole liability of BAXTER and the sole and exclusive remedy of AMYLIN for the loss of a Batch or Exenatide Drug Substance except as set forth in Article 7.
5.7 Effects of Certain Events. In addition to the costs and expenses payable in Section 8.7, in the event of termination of this Agreement, except by AMYLIN as a result of a breach by BAXTER under Section 8.2 or by AMYLIN pursuant to Sections 8.3 or 8.5, AMYLIN shall pay BAXTER as liquidated damages and not as a penalty an amount equal to[***] percent ([***]%) of the greater of the Annual Obligation or the Rolling Forecast prorated for the next [***] ([***]) months.

BAXTER shall advise AMYLIN of the specialized equipment required and the estimated costs associated with the purchase and installation of such equipment. If AMYLIN, in its sole discretion, determines that it does not desire to pay the costs for such equipment, then AMYLIN shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Product for which such equipment is required only, on ninety (90) days prior written notice to BAXTER. AMYLIN shall be invoiced for all approved costs after installation and acceptance of such equipment by BAXTER, and AMYLIN shall make payments within thirty (30) days of the date of invoice from BAXTER.

Article 18, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, NONDISCLOSURE AND PUBLICITY
18.1 Confidentiality. This Agreement, by reference, incorporates the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement signed by AMYLIN, Collaboration Partner, and BAXTER on December 8, 2003, and is made a part hereof as though fully set forth herein. To the extent there is any discrepancy between the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement and this Agreement, the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall prevail. It is contemplated that in the course of the performance of this Agreement each party may, from time to time, disclose Confidential Information to the other. Each party agrees to take all reasonable steps to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information to third parties. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed so as to preclude disclosure of Confidential Information as may be reasonably necessary to secure from any governmental agency necessary approvals or licenses or to obtain patents with respect to the Product.
18.2 Third Party Disclosure. BAXTER shall be permitted to disclose Product information to third party developmental and analytical services providers in connection with performance of its obligations hereunder provided such providers shall be subject to confidentiality agreements. Either party may disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party to those Affiliates, agents and consultants who need to know such information to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (collectively, Permitted Recipients); provided that such Permitted Recipients are bound to maintain such Confidential Information in confidence.
18.3 Litigation and Governmental Disclosure. Each party may disclose Confidential Information hereunder to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary for prosecuting or defending litigation, complying with applicable governmental regulations or conducting pre-clinical or clinical trials, provided that if a party is required by law or regulation to make any such disclosure of the other partys Confidential Information it will, except where impractical for necessary disclosures, for example in the event of a medical emergency, give reasonable
advance notice to the other party of such disclosure requirement and will use good faith efforts to assist such other party to secure a protective order or confidential treatment of such Confidential Information required to be disclosed.
18.4 Limitation of Disclosure. The parties agree that, except as otherwise may be required by applicable laws, regulations, rules or orders, including without limitation the rules and regulations promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and except as may be authorized in Section 18.4, no information concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein shall be made public by either party without the prior written consent of the other.
18.5 Publicity and SEC Filings. Unless the prior written consent of the other party is obtained, no party shall, except as may be required by law or regulations (including without limitation any United States Securities and Exchange Commission filings required), in any manner disclose or advertise or publish or release for publication any statement mentioning the other party or information contained in or acquired pursuant to this Agreement, or the fact that any party has furnished or contracted to furnish to the other party the items required by this Agreement, or quote the opinion of any employee of the other party. BAXTER acknowledges that AMYLIN is required to file a Form 8-K, disclosing the existence of and the material, non-confidential terms of this Agreement. BAXTER further acknowledges that AMYLIN is required to disclose to its investors the existence of this Agreement. Each party agrees that it shall cooperate fully and in a timely manner with the other with respect to all disclosures to the Securities and Exchange Commission and any other governmental or regulatory agencies, including providing sufficient time to review requests for confidential treatment of Confidential Information of either party included in any such disclosure.
18.6 Duration of Confidentiality. All obligations of confidentiality and non-use imposed upon the parties under this Agreement shall expire ten (10) years after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that Confidential Information which constitutes the trade secrets of a party shall be kept confidential indefinitely, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 18.3 through 18.5.
Article 19, FORCE MAJEURE
19.1 Any delay in the performance of any of the duties or obligations of either party hereto (except the payment of money) caused by an event outside the affected partys reasonable control shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement, and unless provided to the contrary herein, the time required for performance shall be extended for a period equal to the period of such delay. Such events which are outside a partys reasonable control shall include without limitation, acts of God;
acts of public enemies; insurrections; riots; injunctions; embargoes; fires; explosions; floods; shortages of material or energy which are beyond the reasonable control of either party; delays in the delivery of raw materials which are beyond the reasonable control of either party; acts or orders of any government or agency thereof or other unforeseeable causes beyond the reasonable control and without the fault or negligence of the party so affected. The party so affected shall give prompt notice to the other party of such cause and a good faith estimate of the continuing effect of the force majeure condition and duration of the affected partys nonperformance, and shall take whatever reasonable steps are appropriate to relieve the effect of such causes as rapidly as possible. If the period of nonperformance by BAXTER because of BAXTER force majeure conditions exceeds ninety (90) calendar days, AMYLIN may terminate this Agreement by written notice to BAXTER. If the period of nonperformance by AMYLIN because of AMYLIN force majeure conditions exceeds ninety (90) calendar days, BAXTER may terminate this Agreement by written notice to AMYLIN.
