WHEREAS, HSI and IDB desire to further amend certain terms of the Amendment for the 2006/2007 Flu Season only;

“Any written notice from HSI must specify the amount of Product it elects to purchase for delivery and release in November and a requested delivery schedule that is consistent with the estimated delivery schedule described in subsection (a) above, and IDB shall use commercially reasonable efforts to distribute product in accordance with such proposed delivery schedule, provided that any Product which IDB fails to deliver in accordance with the proposed delivery schedule shall be returnable to IDB for full refund.”

“In the event that such doses are available for delivery and release in November or December and IDB is able to find a purchaser for such doses and requires distribution services, HSI hereby agrees to provide distribution services in connection with the sales of such doses and to charge the end use customer no more than the price negotiated by IDB with the end user customer (HSI may charge less if it elects to do so), and HSI shall pay IDB for such doses the Purchase Price set for in Section 2(A)(v) of Schedule 1 of the Agreement, provided that HSI’s obligation to pay IDB the Purchase Price for such doses shall be contingent on HSI’s receipt of payment from the end user customer for the doses.”

 

4.

Section 4.1 is amended to add the following sentence to the end thereof:

 

“During the 2006/2007 Flu season only, General Injectables & Vaccines, Inc. (“GIV”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of HSI, shall be billed for Product delivered hereunder and HSI shall cause GIV to pay all such bills due and owing.”
