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 AMYLIN’s 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 AMYLIN’s 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                         Except as set forth in Section 4.1.3, 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.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any given calendar quarter in no event will BAXTER be obligated to Produce, more than [***] ([***]) units more than it Produced in the previous calendar quarter.  For each Rolling Forecast submitted by AMYLIN, in no event shall AMYLIN purchase less than (a) [***] percent ([***]%) of the quantity forecasted for the [***] of such Rolling Forecast, (b) [***] percent ([***]%) of the quantity of Product forecasted by Presentation for the [***] 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”).  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 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.

4.1.3                         Pursuant to Section 4.2, beginning on the Effective Date of this Agreement and continuing through the end of the first calendar year (the year of the Effective Date of this Agreement) BAXTER shall only be obligated to supply that quantity of Product ordered by AMYLIN, which is submitted to BAXTER via a Firm Purchase Order and BAXTER accepts via a confirmation.   For the avoidance of doubt, BAXTER’s obligations under Section 4.1.2 shall not apply during 2005.

4.2                             Purchase Orders.  AMYLIN shall submit Purchase Orders to BAXTER covering AMYLIN’s 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 BAXTER’s 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 BAXTER’s filling date for such order.  Upon AMYLIN’s 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.

Approval 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.  AMYLIN and BAXTER agree that if AMYLIN determines to market Product in a cartridge and disposable pen system in addition to a vial container closure system, then AMYLIN and BAXTER shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement to include the Production of SYMLIN in the cartridge/pen system and to amend the Annual Obligations set forth on Exhibit F and include pricing for such cartridges/pens.  These good faith negotiations shall include as their objective the reduction of the number of vial Units and the addition of a number of cartridge Units in the Annual Obligations specified on Exhibit F with no overall reduction in the collective number of Units.

4.4                               Order Increases.  In any two (2) consecutive calendar quarters 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) [***] ([***]) Units more than it Produced in the preceding two (2) consecutive calendar quarters and (b) one [***] ([***]) 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 C.

 

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 including potential adjustments in Component or packaging material pricing. AMYLIN and BAXTER shall work together to obtain process improvements and any net cost savings or increases achieved by the parties shall be [***], after taking into account any necessary [***] or [***] costs related to the process improvements and any current Component, packaging [***] and [***] cost adjustments.  [***] 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 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 AMYLIN’s Rolling Forecast.  In the event AMYLIN fails to consume pursuant to AMYLIN’s 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 BAXTER’s 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 Product and (b) the initial [***] ([***]) post-process validation Batches of Product (the “Yield Batches”) the parties will determine the expected yield (“EY”) for 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 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 Product for all Batches Released during such quarter, provided a minimum of [***] ([***]) such Batches have been Released 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 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

 

* Confidential Treatment Request(ed)

 

11



 

                                                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 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 foregoing represents the sole liability of BAXTER and the sole and exclusive remedy of AMYLIN for yield shortfall.

 

5.6                                 Loss of Pramlintide Drug Substance.  If any lot of Pramlintide Drug Substance is destroyed, damaged or lost while in BAXTER’s 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 Pramlintide 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 Pramlintide 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 Pramlintide 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 Pramlintide 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.

                                                Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses to which any AMYLIN Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any Claim arising out of or related to (a) BAXTER’s breach of any representation or warranty made by BAXTER in this Agreement or (b) the negligence or willful misconduct of BAXTER in the Production of Product, except in each case to the extent AMYLIN is obligated to indemnify BAXTER with respect to such Losses under Section 14.1 or the Losses are based on the negligence or willful misconduct of any AMYLIN Indemnitee. 

 

14.3                           Indemnitee Obligations.  A party (the “Indemnitee”) which intends to claim indemnification under this Article 14 shall promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days, notify the other party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any action, claim or other matter in respect of which the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, subcontractors, or agents, intend to claim such indemnification; provided, however, that failure to provide such notice within a reasonable period of time shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the Indemnitor is prejudiced by such failure.  The Indemnitee shall permit, and shall cause its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, subcontractors and agents to permit, the Indemnitor, at its discretion, to settle any such action, claim or other matter, and the Indemnitee agrees to the complete control of such defense or settlement by the Indemnitor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement that would adversely affect the Indemnitee’s rights, or impose any obligations on the Indemnitee in order for it to exercise its rights, without Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  No such action, claim or other matter shall be settled without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  The Indemnitee, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, subcontractors and agents shall fully cooperate with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any action, claim or other matter covered by the indemnification obligations of this Article 14; provided, however that no Indemnitee shall be required to admit fault or responsibility in connection with any settlement.  The Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be represented in such defense by counsel of its own selection and at its own expense.

14.4                           Injunction.  In the event that the Production or sale of a Product is enjoined due to alleged infringement by either party of the party of the proprietary rights of a third party, BAXTER shall not be required to Produce Product and such non-Production shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement.

 

 

Article 15,  INSURANCE

15.1                           AMYLIN Insurance.  AMYLIN shall procure and maintain, upon receipt of Regulatory Approval, during the Term of this Agreement and for a period one (1) year beyond the expiration date of Product, Commercial General Liability Insurance, including without limitation, Product Liability and Contractual Liability coverage

 

24



                                                (the “AMYLIN Insurance”).  The AMYLIN Insurance shall cover amounts not less than [***] dollars ($[***]) combined single limit and shall be with an insurance carrier reasonably acceptable to BAXTER.  BAXTER shall be named as an additional insured on the AMYLIN Insurance and AMYLIN promptly shall deliver a certificate of AMYLIN Insurance and endorsement of additional insured to BAXTER evidencing such coverage.  If AMYLIN fails to furnish such certificates or endorsements, or if at any time during the Term of this Agreement BAXTER is notified of the cancellation or lapse of the AMYLIN Insurance, and AMYLIN fails to rectify the same within ten (10) calendar days after notice from BAXTER, in addition to all other remedies available to BAXTER hereunder, BAXTER, at its option, may obtain the AMYLIN Insurance and AMYLIN promptly shall reimburse BAXTER for the cost of the same. Any deductible and/or self-insurance retention shall be the sole responsibility of AMYLIN.

15.2                           BAXTER Insurance.  BAXTER is, and shall during the Term of this Agreement remain, self-insured under the global self-insurance plan of Baxter Healthcare Corporation and its Affiliates for the type of liability that could arise under Section 14.2 of this Agreement.

 

Article 16,  RECALL OF PRODUCT

16.1                           In the event AMYLIN shall be required to recall any Product because such Product may violate local, state or federal laws or regulations, the laws or regulations of any applicable foreign government or agency or the Product Specifications, or in the event that AMYLIN elects to institute a voluntary recall, AMYLIN shall be responsible for coordinating such recall.  AMYLIN promptly shall notify BAXTER if any Product is the subject of a recall and provide BAXTER with a copy of all documents relating to such recall.  BAXTER shall cooperate with AMYLIN in connection with any recall.  Unless such recall is caused (a) solely by the negligence of BAXTER, (b) or to the extent such recall is due to the willful misconduct of BAXTER, or (c) such recall is caused solely by BAXTER’s breach of this Agreement, AMYLIN shall be responsible for all of the costs and expenses of such recall and shall reimburse BAXTER for its reasonable expenses (including labor) in connection with such cooperation.  In the event a recall is necessary because both (i) BAXTER has delivered a non-conforming Product to AMYLIN, and (ii) such non-conformity is solely due to the negligence or to the extent such recall is due to the willful misconduct of BAXTER, BAXTER will bear all reasonable costs associated with such recall (including but not limited to costs associated with receiving and administering the recalled Product and notification of the recall to those persons whom AMYLIN deems appropriate) in accordance with and up to a cumulative total maximum amount set forth in the chart below; notwithstanding the chart below, provided, however, in no event shall BAXTER’s liability for costs associated with such recall exceed [***] percent ([***]%) of the Purchase Price paid to BAXTER by AMYLIN for the Product which is the subject of such recall.

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 party’s 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

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 18.5, 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 may communicate to its investors information to the extent made public by AMYLIN, including in its Form 8-K.  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.
