Amylin may not destroy any lot of Product until it receives written notification from Bachem that Bachem does not dispute that the lot fails to meet Product Specifications and that Bachem does not request return of the Product. Upon authorization from Bachem to do so, Amylin shall destroy the Product received in the rejected delivery promptly at Bachems cost and provide Bachem with certification of such destruction. Amylin shall, upon receipt of Bachems request for return, promptly return said Product or quality control sample to Bachem, at Bachems cost.
4.3 In the event Amylin or its Collaboration Partner shall be required or requested by any Regulatory Authority (or shall voluntarily decide in good faith) to recall any Product, Amylin or its Collaboration Partner shall coordinate such recall. If a recall arises due to Bachems negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement, and does not result from Amylins or its Collaboration Partners negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement, then Bachem shall reimburse Amylin and its Collaboration Partner for (i) the purchase price paid by Amylin to Bachem for such recalled Product, and (ii) all of Amylins and its Collaboration Partners other direct reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by Amylin or its Collaboration Partner in connection with the recall including, but not limited to, costs of retrieving Product already delivered to customers, costs of replacement Product, costs and expenses Amylin or its Collaboration Partner is required to pay for notification, shipping and handling charges, and all other costs reasonably related to the recall.

Amylin of Product after delivery to Amylin by Bachem hereunder, in each case, except to the extent Bachem is obligated to indemnify any Amylin Indemnitee for such claim or proceeding under Section 9.2 below.
9.2 Bachem shall defend, indemnify and hold Amylin and its Collaboration Partner and their Affiliates and their respective employees, directors, officers, shareholders and agents harmless against any Liability resulting from any third party claims made or proceeding brought against Amylin to the extent that such liability arises from (i) Bachems negligence or willful act or omission in the manufacture, storage or delivery of Product; (ii) Bachems material breach of this Agreement; or (iii) Bachems breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Article 8.
Each indemnified party agrees to give the indemnifying party prompt written notice of any matter upon which such indemnified party intends to base a claim for indemnification (an Indemnity Claim) under Article 9. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate jointly with the indemnified party in the indemnified partys defense, settlement or other disposition of any Indemnity Claim. With respect to any Indemnity Claim relating solely to the payment of money damages and which could not result in the indemnified partys becoming subject to injunctive or other equitable relief or otherwise adversely affect the business of the indemnified party in any manner, and as to which the indemnifying party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the indemnified party hereunder, the indemnifying party shall have the sole right to defend, settle or otherwise dispose of such Indemnity Claim, on such terms as the indemnifying party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate, provided that the indemnifying party shall provide reasonable evidence of its ability to pay any damages claimed and with respect to any such settlement shall have obtained the written release of the indemnified party from the Indemnity Claim. The indemnifying party shall obtain the written consent of the indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, prior to ceasing to defend, settling or otherwise disposing of any Indemnity Claim if as a result thereof the indemnified party would become subject to injunctive or other equitable relief or the business of the indemnified party would be adversely affected in any manner.
9.3 Each party shall at all times comply, through insurance, with all statutory workers compensation and employers liability requirements covering any and all employees with respect to activities performed under this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, each party shall obtain and maintain, occurrence-based or claims made Broad Form Comprehensive General Liability (BFCGL) Insurance with a reputable and financially secure insurance carrier(s) having at least an Excellent rating (A- rating or above by A.M. Best). Upon a partys request, the other party shall provide to such requesting party written evidence reasonably satisfactory to such requesting party of the sufficiency of such other partys insurance program.
10. Confidential Information
Confidential Information will be as defined by and treated in accordance with the Confidential Disclosure Agreement dated February 15, 2002 between Amylin and Bachem, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2, which shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. The parties, however, agree that the following shall apply to confidential information disclosed under this Agreement: (A) each party shall use the other partys confidential information solely for the purposes contemplated under this Agreement, (B) the non-disclosure and confidentiality obligations shall remain in effect during the term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, and (C) Amylin shall have the right to disclose Bachems confidential information, without Bachem prior consent, to Regulatory Authorities in accordance with Article 3 and to Collaboration Partner.

11. Force Majeure
If the performance by either party of any obligation under this Agreement, other than the payment of money, is prevented or impaired by Force Majeure for any cause beyond the reasonable control of the defaulting party, such party shall be excused from performance so long as such situation continues to prevent or impair performance, provided the party claiming such excuse shall have promptly notified the other party of the existence, nature, duration and other details of such cause and shall at all times use its reasonable efforts consistent with its normal business practices to resume a complete performance. If either party anticipates that a Force Majeure may occur, that party shall notify the other immediately and explain the nature, details and expected duration thereof.
The affected party will advise the other from time to time as to the progress in remedying the situation and as to the time when the affected party expects to resume its obligations and shall notify the other as to the expiration of any Force Majeure as soon as the affected party knows the date thereof.

In the event of a Force Majeure affecting Bachem, Bachem may prorate and allocate manufacturing capacity among its Affiliates, Amylin and Bachems other customers, in proportion to purchases of products by such Affiliates, Amylin and other customers during the 12-month period preceding such Force Majeure event Notwithstanding the occurrence of a Force Majeure event, if Bachem shall be unable to supply Products in such quantities as Amylin shall request and in compliance with the delivery periods set forth in this Agreement, Amylin shall be permitted (with no obligation to Bachem) to exercise its rights under Section 7.4 and have another source manufacture Product on Amylins behalf using the process described in the master batch records for the Product, and Amylin shall thereafter have no obligation to purchase Products from Bachem until any contractual obligations that Amylin has assumed in connection with obtaining a substitute supply of Products shall have terminated.
