3.06 INSYS shall engage a third party consultant to assist APL in the writing and filing of a Drug Master File (“DMF”) for API. The DMF shall be filed in the name of APL and APL shall be the sole owner of any rights accruing through the filing of the DMF. APL shall provide to the third party consultant (who shall be under obligation of confidentiality) and INSYS all information necessary for the proper and complete filing of the DMF. All costs of the consultant shall be borne by INSYS and the parties shall cooperate in assisting each other in the efficient use of such consultant.

 

3.07

APL shall maintain at all times, all regulatory and governmental permits, licenses and

3.12 INSYS shall acquire by purchase or lease for APL’S use, the equipment necessary to produce API, including, but not limited to, preparative chromatographic purification equipment and supplies including chromatographic columns, reactors, solvent removal / recovery systems, and distillation equipment, set forth on EXHIBIT B hereto, which may be amended from time to time by mutual agreement. APL will lease the equipment for monthly payments equal to 1.67% of the purchase price for a period equal to the lesser of the term of the AGREEMENT or sixty (60) months following the Initial Repayment Date. After the earlier of [ *** ] months or the termination of this AGREEMENT, ownership of the equipment will be transferred from INSYS to APL except as provided below. In the event of termination of the AGREEMENT under Section 2.02 prior to the [ *** ] months from the date of acquiring certain equipment pursuant to this paragraph, the ownership of the equipment acquired by INSYS and leased to APL will transfer to the non-defaulting party and, in the case of a termination for any other reason, then APL shall have a purchase option, exercisable for 30 days from the date of termination of this AGREEMENT, to acquire the equipment from INSYS by either (i) making a lump sum payment to INSYS equal to the remaining monthly payments which would otherwise be required to be paid by APL in accordance with this Section 3.12, or (ii) by assuming INSYS’ obligations under the financing lease entered into by INSYS to acquire the equipment, at INSYS’ option. In the event that APL shall elect not to acquire the equipment as herein provided, APL will return the equipment to INSYS within 30 days after termination of this AGREEMENT, in good condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, to a location designated by INSYS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, both INSYS and APL acknowledge and agree that the rights of the parties hereto to the equipment leased to APL shall be subject to the prior rights of any entity which has filed and duly perfected a UCC financing statement with respect to the equipment; provided, however, that any lease entered into by INSYS to secure equipment for APL as provided for in this AGREEMENT (a copy of which shall be provided to APL) shall be for a term no greater than sixty (60) months, not include any material residual or balloon payments, and shall include APL in the notice provisions; and provided further, that if prior to the termination of this AGREEMENT, INSYS should default on any such financing lease,

then such default shall be considered a default of INSYS under this AGREEMENT, and further provided, that at such time as ownership of the equipment is to revert to APL under the terms of this AGREEMENT (whether due to termination due to the default of INSYS or due to full payment by APL of the lease terms contained herein), then INSYS shall be obligated to obtain the release of any prior UCC financing statement filing with respect to such equipment to ensure APL’S ownership free and clear.

SECTION 4 - ECONOMIC TERMS

 

4.01 Subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of this AGREEMENT, during the term of this Agreement, INSYS will purchase and APL will supply API in the amounts and at the price levels provided in Table 4.01 below; provided however, that (i) should APL be unable, due to a FORCE MAJEURE EVENT, to supply such minimum quantities, then INSYS shall not be obligated to pay for API not supplied by APL and (ii) prior to the completion of Initial Scale Up, the Minimum Quantity that INSYS shall be obligated to purchase shall be the lesser of [ ***  ] or 100% of APL’s production (it being recognized that prior to completion of Initial Scale Up APL will have limited ability to produce API). After Initial Scale Up, the Minimum Quantity INSYS shall be obligated to purchase each calendar year shall be 50 kg.

by all supporting documentation reasonably requested by INSYS. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice INSYS shall either accept such increase or obtain alternative sources of supply of materials for APL, provided, however, that any such alternative source of supply secured by INSYS would meet or exceed the quality of the materials provided by APL’S then current supplier(s). If accepted the price shall be adjusted by the CPI plus the percentage increase in APL’S cost of materials in excess of the CPI. In no case would the price be adjusted by an amount not greater than zero.

 

4.03 Concurrent with any modification or change to the SPECIFICATIONS set forth on EXHIBIT A, the parties shall negotiate, in good faith, appropriate modifications to the prices set forth in 4.01, up or down, to appropriately compensate APL for any such change in materials or process. All such agreements shall be in writing and become a part of this AGREEMENT.

 

4.04 As additional compensation to APL, INSYS shall pay APL DEFERRED FEES on NET SALES of all THC PRODUCTS beginning with either the calendar year during which COMMERCIALIZATION occurs (the “COMMERCIALIZATION OPTION PERIOD 1”), or at APL’s option, the first calendar year after which COMMERCIALIZATION occurs (the “COMMERCIALIZATION OPTION PERIOD 2”) and continuing until the later of (a) the termination of this AGREEMENT or (b) fifteen (15) years after the period beginning with whichever COMMERCIALIZATION period earlier chosen by APL. INSYS shall notify APL in writing of COMMERCIALIZATION and APL must notify INSYS within thirty (30) days thereafter which commercialization option period it would select.

INITIAL SCALE UP on the following terms:

(a) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) has been advanced pursuant to the terms of a note in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto (“Note A”), and

(b) Up to Two Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,300,000) shall be advanced pursuant to the terms of a note set forth in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (“Note B”) (as of the date hereof $1,183,510 has been advanced and the outstanding principal balance is $1,183,510).

(c) Each of Note A and Note B would be secured by a security agreement in the form attached as Exhibit E attached hereto (the “Security Agreement”).

(d) The entire $1,000,000.00 principal balance and accrued interest hereunder under Note A would be convertible into a 28.75% ownership interest in APL (the “Conversion Interest”) at any time after September 16, 2007 and prior to the Equity Conversion Option Expiration Date. INSYS would have the right to convert the outstanding principal balance under Note A into the Conversion Interest (the “Equity Conversion Option”) upon written notice to APL at any time prior to the Equity Conversion Option Expiration Date.

 

5.03 On or before November 15 of each calendar year after COMMERCIALIZATION, INSYS shall provide APL with its forecasted sales of THC PRODUCTS and demand for API for the following twenty-four (24) months along with its business plan (if any) for THC PRODUCTS business segment.

 

5.04 In order to allow APL to efficiently plan and manage its manufacturing process, INSYS shall provide APL, within forty five (45) days prior to the beginning of each calendar quarter, an estimate of its demand for API for such coming calendar quarter. For example, on or before January 1 of each year, INSYS shall provide its estimate to APL for demand for the calendar quarter beginning the following April 1.

 

5.05 At such time as INSYS begins to forecast annual demand for API quantities in excess of [ *** ], it shall notify APL at least six (6) months prior to the time that INSYS forecasts such increased demand (the “SCALE-UP NOTICE”). Such SCALE-UP NOTICE shall include INSYS’ demand forecast for the greater of (i) the remainder of the Initial Term or (ii) two (2) years. APL and INSYS shall then have sixty (60) days following APL’S receipt of the SCALE-UP NOTICE to negotiate in good faith a modification to the minimum quantities set forth in Section 4.01 and to agree to a plan for further scale up of the APL manufacturing operation in order to meet such demand. Should the parties not be able to agree to such a modification and plan during such sixty (60) day period, then APL shall have the option, by providing notice to INSYS citing this Section 5.05 within seventy (70) days after receipt of the SCALE UP NOTICE, to decline to meet any demand for API in excess of APL’S then existing capacity and convert this AGREEMENT to semi-exclusive such that INSYS shall be allowed to secure a second source for any API demand in excess of APL’S then existing capacity (the “SEMI-EXCLUSIVE ELECTION”). The SEMI-EXCLUSIVE ELECTION shall not modify any

***CONFIDENTIAL

TREATMENT REQUESTED

terms of this AGREEMENT other than Section 3.02 which shall be modified to provide that INSYS shall first acquire API quantities from APL equal to APL’S then existing capacity with any excess demand to be filled by not more than one (1) other source. The DEFERRED FEE OBLIGATIONS set forth in Section 4.04 hereof shall be modified by reducing the obligations thereunder by the amount of API obtained from third parties and NET SALES generated therefrom in connection with the SEMI- EXCLUSIVE ELECTION, but otherwise this AGREEMENT shall continue in full force and effect until this AGREEMENT is otherwise terminated in accordance with the termination provisions herein.

 

5.06 After COMMERCIALIZATION, INSYS shall order API by providing a written purchase order to APL at the beginning of each calendar quarter stating the amounts of API requested during the calendar quarter and the requested delivery dates. APL shall ship API to INSYS at the address directed by INSYS on each purchase order. If not specified by INSYS on the purchase order, APL shall determine the appropriate carrier and method for shipment of API. INSYS shall pay for all shipping and special packaging costs related to the shipment of API and such costs and charges will be added to each invoice. WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF RECEIPT OF AN ORDER, APL SHALL INFORM INSYS OF ANY API SUPPLY DIFFICULTIES. HOWEVER, APL SHALL, IN NO EVENT, BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES TO INSYS OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR FAILURE TO SHIP API WHICH ARISE AS A RESULT OF FORCE MAJEURE EVENTS.

 

5.07 In the event that INSYS’ purchase order for the final quarter of each calendar year does not include sufficient quantities to bring INSYS’ calendar year purchases up to the minimum levels set forth in Section 4.01, APL is hereby authorized to modify such purchase order quantities to the amount necessary to reach the appropriate minimum level. APL shall promptly notify INSYS of the purchase order change.

 

5.08 In the event of any THC product recall, each party shall fully cooperate with the other to effect such recall as promptly as possible and in compliance with all governmental requirements. INSYS shall make an initial determination as to whether or not the recall is a result of the failure of API to meet the SPECIFICATIONS. In the event INSYS makes an initial determination that the recall is the result of API failing to meet SPECIFICATIONS, it shall promptly notify APL in writing of its findings and shall provide and make available to APL all relevant test data supporting the findings including any sample API utilized to reach such conclusion. Should APL disagree with such findings, it shall conduct its own studies and provide the results to INSYS. If after comparing each party’s relevant studies and test data, the parties cannot agree as to whether or not API meets SPECIFICATIONS, then the parties shall submit all of the test data and samples to an independent lab for final determination. In the event it is determined that the recall is due to API that does not meet SPECIFICATIONS, APL shall undertake the remanufacture of API and shall provide sufficient additional quantities of API to INSYS, at no cost to INSYS, to replace all API determined to not meet SPECIFICATIONS. APL’S sole liability shall be to replace, at no additional cost to INSYS, any API which fails to meet the SPECIFICATIONS.

SECTION 9 - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

9.01 REPRESENTATIONS and WARRANTIES. APL and INSYS hereby represent and warrant to each other that the execution and delivery of this AGREEMENT will not conflict with or result in a material breach of or default under any agreement or instrument to which either party is a party or by which any it its properties is bound.

 

9.02 PRODUCT WARRANTY. APL warrants the API sold to INSYS under this AGREEMENT shall meet the SPECIFICATIONS. APL’S sole liability shall be to replace, at no additional cost to INSYS, any API which fails to meet the SPECIFICATIONS. APL DOES NOT MAKE ANY IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS, CONDITIONS OR WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

 

9.03 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Except as it relates to a breach of Section 8 (Confidentiality) by either party, in no event shall APL or INSYS be liable to the other for any special or consequential damages or lost profits arising out of or under this AGREEMENT. However, INSYS agrees and stipulates that, in the event of termination of this AGREEMENT by APL pursuant to Section 2.02, APL shall be entitled to recover liquidated damages in an amount equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00).

 

9.04 INSURANCE.

9.06 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. Under the terms of this AGREEMENT, APL and INSYS are independent contractors. Neither party is an employee, agent, or partner of the other, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create a partnership between APL and INSYS. Neither party has any authority under this AGREEMENT to incur any obligations or responsibilities on behalf of the other party.

 

13


9.07 ASSIGNMENT. This AGREEMENT shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors, legal representatives and assigns of APL and INSYS; provided, however, that neither party shall have the right to assign this AGREEMENT without the prior written approval of the other party unless such assignment is in connection with the sale of its entire business to which this AGREEMENT pertains and is an assignment of this AGREEMENT in its entirety, in which event neither party may unreasonably withhold consent. In the event INSYS sells or transfers the proprietary technology or patents relating to its formulation or development of THC PRODUCTS to another entity, INSYS shall notify APL prior to the closing of such transaction and ensure that the acquiring entity agrees to assume and to be bound by, and is qualified and licensed to perform, the obligations and responsibilities provided in this AGREEMENT. In the event APL sells or otherwise transfers the business unit responsible for the manufacture of API to another entity, then APL shall notify INSYS prior to the closing of such transaction and as a requirement to consummation of such transaction, APL shall require the acquiring entity to acknowledge and agree in writing to its assumption of the ongoing obligations, and is qualified and licensed to perform, under this AGREEMENT.

In the event that APL and INSYS cannot agree on an arbitrator, each of them shall select an arbitrator, and the two arbitrators shall select an arbitrator who, together with the two selecting arbitrators, shall serve as a three-member arbitration panel. The standard rules of the AAA shall govern any arbitration proceeding brought under this AGREEMENT. APL and INSYS shall equally share the cost associated with arbitration; however each party shall pay its own attorney’s fees related to such arbitration. In connection with any arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall determine which party (or if both, in what proportions) shall be required to bear the costs of travel and subsistence of INSYS in connection with attending such arbitration session in Texas. Nothing herein shall prohibit either party from seeking equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

9.09 COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS. APL and INSYS agree to comply with all applicable export laws and regulations and any laws or regulations governing the manufacture, sale, or shipping of API and THC PRODUCTS in the U.S. and abroad.

9.16 SUPPLY PROTECTION NON-COMPETITION COVENANT. APL and its parent, Cerilliant Corporation, agrees and stipulates that, in the event of termination of this AGREEMENT by INSYS pursuant to Section 2.02, APL and its parent, Cerilliant Corporation, shall not, for a period of two (2) years following such termination, manufacture, make, have made, sell, or distribute THC Products for use within the COMMERCIAL PHARMACEUTICAL MARKET for any person or entity other than INSYS. The parties agree that this restriction is reasonable given the substantial expenditures by INSYS in developing the THC Products and the technical assistance by INSYS to APL in connection with this Agreement. The parties further agree that this provision shall survive termination of the Agreement and may be enforced by specific performance

 

9.17 AMENDMENT OF REGULATIONS.

(a) Upon the exercise of the Equity Conversion Option, the Regulations of APL (the “Regulations”) shall be amended as follows:

(i) INSYS shall be admitted as a member of APL, and the Conversion Interest will be issued having the same rights, preferences and privileges as all other membership interests in APL then outstanding.

(ii) INSYS shall have the right to designate a number of managers of APL to approximate its proportionate equity ownership interest.

(iii) INSYS shall be provided with customary information rights regarding the business affairs and financial operations of APL.

(iv) INSYS shall be provided with preemptive rights on any new issuances of membership interest in AFL, subject to customary exceptions for membership interests issued in

 

16


acquisitions or as a part of an employee’s compensation.

(v) INSYS shall have co-sale rights and rights of first offer on future sales of the membership interests in APL held by Cerilliant Corporation (“Parent”). The right of first offer would be on the following terms: (i) if Parent proposed to sell its interest in APL (the “Offered Interests”), Parent would first offer to sell such interest in writing (the “Offer Notice”) to INSYS at a specified price (the “Target Price”); (ii) INSYS shall have fifteen days following the delivery of the Offer Notice to accept the offer to sell at the Target Price and purchase the Offered Interests; and (iii) if INSYS does not purchase the Offered Interests within such fifteen (15) day period, then Parent may sell the Offered Interests at a price that is not less than 95% of the Target Price (subject to INSYS co-sale right in any such sale at any time within sixty (60) days following the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period).

(vi) INSYS shall be provided customary registration rights with regards to the Conversion Interest, exercisable within 180 days following the initial public offering of securities by APL.

Notwithstanding the foregoing (9.17(a)(i)-(vi)), the rights set forth in clauses (ii) through (vi) will be terminated in the event of any monetary default by INSYS that results in the termination of the Agreement.

(b) Additional Amendments to Regulations. In addition to the amendments to the Regulations of APL set forth above, the Regulations would be further amended to provide as follows:

(i) Each member would maintain all information received regarding APL or Parent (or any other member) in its capacity as a member confidential, and would not use or disclose such information without the consent of APL and all other members.

(ii) INSYS would not compete with APL so long as this Agreement has not become semi-exclusive in accordance with Section 5.05 of this Agreement; and if this Agreement becomes semi-exclusive in accordance with Section 5.05, then INSYS’ activities as it relates to its second source supplier shall not be considered competitive.

(iii) INSYS would be subject to customary restrictions on transfers and buy-sell provisions applicable to holders of minority interests, including without limitation a right of first offer in favor of APL and Parent in the event of any transfers of interest by INSYS (which must be exercised in whole and not in part) similar to the right of first offer to be granted to INSYS as set forth in Section 9.17(a)(iv) above.

(iv) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or sale of all or substantially all of the assets or equity interest of APL, Parent would have a right of first refusal (at fair market value) and drag-along rights on the interest held by INSYS.

(v) All restrictions set forth in this Section 9.17 would apply to INSYS and any transferee or assignee of the Conversion Interest

(c) Repurchase Options. If this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 2.02 as a

 

17


result of the material default of INSYS at any time after INSYS has exercised the Equity Conversion Option, then APL (or Parent) would have the right, but not the obligation, at any time after such termination, to repurchase the Conversion Interests for the then fair market value (determined by an independent qualified appraiser giving due consideration to the termination of this Agreement). If APL exercises its repurchase right, APL would have the right to offset against the repurchase price any amounts owed APL under this Agreement, and if there is a dispute regarding APL’s good faith estimate of amounts owed to it under this Agreement, then APL would deposit any amounts owed to INSYS in connection with the repurchase into an escrow pending the final resolution of the amounts owed.

(d) Additional Purchase Option. At any time prior to INSYS’ exercise of the Equity Conversion Option, INSYS would be entitled to exercise the preemptive right set forth in Section 9.17(a)(iv) and would have a right of first offer on any sale of equity interest in APL by Parent. The terms of right of first offer shall be similar to the terms set forth in 9.17(a)(iv).
