4.15 | The Parties agree that the filling services under this Agreement shall be conducted at the HOLLISTER-STIER facility in Spokane, Washington. | ||
4.16 | Subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 8, BIOPORT shall have the right, at its risk and expense, to have personnel on site (maximum of two people) observing operations during filling and other related activities. |
5.0 | ORDERING AND SUPPLY OF FILLED PRODUCT |
5.1 | HOLLISTER-STIER agrees to meet all of BIOPORTs firm purchase orders for Filled Product, based on BIOPORTs forecasts for Filled Product as set forth in Section 5.2 of this Agreement. | ||
5.2 | BIOPORT and HOLLISTER-STIER shall cooperate in estimating and scheduling production of commercial orders. |
5.2.1 | BIOPORT shall annually provide a Good Faith Annual Estimate of the timing and pace of its expected specific orders for Filled Product. The first such Good Faith Annual Estimate shall be given upon execution of this Agreement and shall cover orders during the remainder of the First Term Year, and subsequent Good Faith Annual Estimates shall be delivered to HOLLISTER-STIER on or before each November 1, with respect to the next following Term Year. The estimates in each Good Faith Annual Estimate shall be good faith forecasts to assist HOLLISTER-STIER in planning its production and shall be non-binding and without prejudice to BIOPORTs subsequent firm orders. | ||
5.2.2 | Subject to Section 5.2.4, on or before the first day of each calendar month, BIOPORT shall provide a firm purchase order for the next following calendar month, thereby constituting a rolling monthly firm purchase order; provided, however, that during any Term Year in which BIOPORT is filling AVA itself (or is actively preparing to do so), or is obtaining or has contracted to obtain AVA filling services from any other source, BIOPORT shall, on or before the first day of each calendar month, provide a firm purchase order for the next three following calendar months, thereby constituting a rolling three-month firm purchase order. | ||
5.2.3 | To the extent that BIOPORT requests that HOLLISTER-STIER fill more lots than are the subject of a firm purchase order, HOLLISTER-STIER shall accommodate such additional fill requests subject to its then-available production capacity. | ||
5.2.4 | BIOPORT may, without charge or breach of this Agreement, cancel or delay any firm order for a Filled Lot or Filled Lots, provided that it gives HOLLISTER-STIER notice of such cancellation or delay prior to the acceptance of the Bulk Lot for such Filled Lot(s) by HOLLISTER-STIER in accordance with the incoming inspection requirements as set forth in the Filling Process Specifications. Where BIOPORT gives such notice of a delay, rescheduling of the delayed Filled Lot |
7
5.3 | If BIOPORT believes that a Filled Lot as delivered to it by HOLLISTER-STIER does not conform to the Filling Process Specifications, BIOPORT shall promptly so notify HOLLISTER-STIER, specifying the grounds for BIOPORTs belief in as much detail as is available to BIOPORT. If HOLLISTER-STIER disagrees, the Parties shall use their best efforts to resolve such disputes amicably. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute, the matter shall be referred for resolution to an independent laboratory or other recognized expert, agreed to by the parties, whose decision shall be final and binding. Any charges of such laboratory or expert shall be paid for by the party against whom the dispute is decided. If BIOPORT does not give HOLLISTER-STIER such a notice of non-conformity prior to the tenth (10th) business day following delivery of the COA for a given Filled Lot and the batch record for such Filled Lot, BIOPORT will be deemed to have accepted such Filled Lot. | ||
5.4 | Where volumes of Bulk Product in excess of those anticipated under the Percentage Yields called for in the Filling Process Specifications do not meet the Filling Process Specifications or are made unusable or are otherwise destroyed in the course of the filling services for a Filled Lot, but the balance of such Filled Lot remains in conformity with this Agreement, BIOPORT shall AS ITS SOLE REMEDY THEREFOR, be entitled to a prorata price adjustment to reflect the shortfall (to the extent under such Percentage Yield) in the anticipated volume in such Filled Lot. As an example, if the Percentage Yield called for in the Filling Process Specifications for a Filled Lot is [**]% and the actual Percentage Yield achieved for such Filled Lot is [**]%, then the price for such Filled Lot (as otherwise determined under Article 6) would be reduced by [**]% (representing [**]% [**]%). | ||
5.5 | If an entire Filled Lot is made unusable or is destroyed, either through the fault of HOLLISTER-STIER or otherwise because it does not meet the Filling Process Specifications, HOLLISTER-STIER shall promptly so inform BIOPORT or BIOPORT shall promptly so inform HOLLISTER-STIER, as the case may be, together with an explanation of the circumstances and HOLLISTER-STIER shall, AS BIOPORTS SOLE REMEDY THEREFOR, (i) conduct the filling services for the replacement Bulk Lot without charge, including bearing the cost of vials, stoppers, seals and other costs associated with the filling and preparation for shipment of the Filled Product, provided that BIOPORT at its risk and expense (other than shipping costs) supplies the replacement Bulk Lot; (ii) conduct a non-conforming materials run without charge to BIOPORT, if reasonably so requested by BIOPORT; (iii) conduct, without charge to BIOPORT, appropriate additional training of personnel, development work and/or technical studies to address the causes underlying the failed fill as BIOPORT and HOLLISTER-STIER agree in good faith after consultation are called for under the circumstances; and (iv) pay for all destruction costs associated with the rejected material, including any shipment related expenses, any such destruction only to occur with BIOPORTs prior written consent. |
6.0 | PRICE PAYMENT |
6.1 | The initial price to be paid by BIOPORT for the filling services for each Filled Lot (the Lot Production Fee) shall be [**] dollars ($[**]); provided, however, that effective for Filled |
8
