     3.2.2 If InterMune requires more DRUG PRODUCT than is set forth in the current firm forecast, BI Austria shall use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to supply InterMune with DRUG PRODUCT as requested; provided that for the amounts of DRUG PRODUCT in excess of such forecast which BI Austria is unable to supply, despite such commercially reasonable efforts, InterMune may use a secondary source manufacturer in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.7.
     3.2.3 If InterMune reduces the forecast for [***] by an amount in excess of [***] (net of any increases in actual orders for these [***] [***], then InterMune shall be [***] which was [***] of [***] [***] at the [***] [***] of the unit price of the DRUG PRODUCT then in effect.
     3.2.4 For planning purposes only, no later than January 31, 2006 InterMune will provide to BI Austria a non-binding estimate of InterMune’s requirements for the DRUG PRODUCT for the [***] following the estimated commercial market launch of each such presentation of the DRUG PRODUCT, which non-binding estimate shall be attached hereto as Exhibit 13.
3.3 Purchase Orders
     3.3.1 All purchases of DRUG PRODUCT hereunder shall be made pursuant to written purchase orders provided to BI Austria by InterMune. To the extent that the terms of a purchase order of InterMune or of BI Austria’s or BI Pharma’s “General Conditions of Sale” are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail.
     3.3.2 BI Austria shall guarantee that at the date of MANUFACTURER’S RELEASE all DRUG PRODUCT supplied to InterMune shall have a minimum residual shelf life of not less than [***] off the shelf life of the DRUG PRODUCT in existence at the date of the manufacturing of such DRUG PRODUCT. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the shelf life at the time of the manufacturing of the DRUG PRODUCT is dependent on the information on the current expiry of the DRUG PRODUCT.
     3.3.3 BI Austria shall ship all DRUG PRODUCT as set forth in Section 3.4 by the date and in the quantities specified in the applicable purchase order. BI Austria shall be obligated to accept any purchase order within the range of permitted variation in the forecasted quantities as

set forth in Section 3.2.1. and 3.2.2. Any other purchase order shall be binding on BI Austria only if it is accepted by BI Austria, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld. If BI Austria does not accept such a purchase order, then InterMune may use a secondary source manufacturer for such purchase order in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.7.
     3.3.4 InterMune shall be obligated to buy and BI Austria shall be obligated to sell only the quantities of DRUG PRODUCT which are subject to a purchase order accepted by BI Austria. Any purchase order (or portion thereof) for which InterMune has not received a written rejection from BI Austria within [***] of BI Austria’s receipt of such purchase order shall be deemed accepted by BI Austria. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to DRUG PRODUCTS ordered by InterMune for its clinical supply requirements, the number of vials or syringes supplied by BI Austria shall not exceed the number of vials or syringes subject to the applicable purchase order submitted by InterMune; provided, however, that if the number of vials or syringes BI Austria is able to supply falls below the number of vials or syringes ordered by InterMune in such purchase order and such lesser number is within a reasonable range of the number ordered by InterMune, BI Austria shall notify InterMune in writing and inquire as to whether such lesser number of vials or syringes is acceptable and if not, whether BI Austria should produce an additional batch of DRUG SUBSTANCE to produce enough vials or syringes to satisfy InterMune’s purchase order. If InterMune notifies BI Austria that such lesser number of vials or syringes is acceptable to InterMune, then the applicable purchase order shall be deemed to be amended to provide for such lesser number of vials or syringes and BI Austria shall be deemed to have accepted such purchase order in accordance with Section 3.3. On the other hand, if InterMune notifies BI Austria that BI Austria should manufacture an additional batch of DRUG SUBSTANCE to produce the number of vials or syringes ordered by InterMune in its purchase order submitted to BI Austria, then (i) the Parties will mutually agree upon a reasonable delivery date for such vials or syringes derived from such additional batch of DRUG SUBSTANCE, (ii) BI Austria shall be obligated to produce the additional batch of DRUG SUBSTANCE, (iii) InterMune shall be obligated to purchase any excess vials or syringes of DRUG PRODUCT produced by BI Austria from such additional batch of DRUG SUBSTANCE, (iv) the purchase order submitted to BI Austria by InterMune shall be deemed amended to account for any excess vials or syringes resulting from the additional batch of DRUG SUBSTANCE and to account for the agreed upon delivery date for the vials or syringes derived from such additional batch of DRUG SUBSTANCE and (v) such purchase order shall be deemed accepted by BI Austria in accordance with Section 3.3.
3.4 Shipment of DRUG PRODUCT and Material by BI Austria
     3.4.1 The DRUG PRODUCT and all material (e.g. samples) shall be shipped [***] either BI Pharma’s facility in Biberach, Germany or BI Austria’s facility in Vienna, Austria, as the case may be, to InterMune or as directed by InterMune, in accordance with Incoterms 2000 as published by the International Chamber of Commerce. InterMune’s designated carrier shall be used to ship DRUG PRODUCT to the site designated by InterMune. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the only deviation from the definition of “EX WORKS” is that BI Austria shall be responsible and bear the cost of stowage and loading the DRUG PRODUCT onto the InterMune designated carrier such that the risk of loss and title shall pass
 
*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

14.


 

from BI Austria to InterMune only upon completion of the loading by BI Austria of the DRUG PRODUCT onto the InterMune designated carrier. Risk of loss in transit by InterMune’s designated contract carrier shall lie with InterMune, except where such loss is caused by BI Austria’s or BI Pharma’s negligence.
     3.4.2 BI Austria will provide or will have provided assistance to InterMune regarding necessary procedures for exportation and/or importation of DRUG PRODUCT. BI Austria shall also provide to InterMune every two (2) months the shipping schedule for the DRUG PRODUCT.
     3.4.3 In the event that DRUG PRODUCT, which has been ordered by InterMune pursuant to a purchase order is not shipped to InterMune within [***] calendar days of FINAL RELEASE for reasons solely and directly assignable to InterMune (e.g., lack of shipping instructions, etc.), the risk of the deterioration or perishing of the DRUG PRODUCT resulting therefrom passes to InterMune. BI Austria shall render invoice and InterMune shall pay for such DRUG PRODUCT when the invoice becomes due. BI Austria shall be entitle to claim reimbursement for commercially reasonable storage costs incurred by BI Austria after expiry of the [***] calendar day time limit. In the circumstances where InterMune has paid for the DRUG PRODUCT but such DRUG PRODUCT is not available for shipment (e.g., analytical testing issues, regulatory filing issues), the Parties will cooperate with one another in good faith and mutually agree with one another on the appropriate allocation between the Parties of risk of deterioration or perishing of the DRUG PRODUCT.
3.5 Testing and Rejection
     3.5.1 Within [***] business days of its receipt of DRUG PRODUCT at such destination as may be designated by InterMune, InterMune may perform such tests and samplings as are appropriate to determine whether such DRUG PRODUCT meets the applicable DRUG PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS. If InterMune refuses acceptance of DRUG PRODUCT, then InterMune shall inform BI Austria in writing within [***] further business days of any aspect in which such DRUG PRODUCT fails to conform to the DRUG PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS. If BI Austria does not receive such a notice within [***] business days of InterMune’s receipt of such DRUG PRODUCT, then InterMune shall be deemed to have accepted the DRUG PRODUCT; provided that InterMune shall have the right to revoke its acceptance of such goods if it later discovers latent defects. A latent defect is a deviation which constitutes a breach of one or more of BI Austria’s warranties pursuant to Sec. 9.2.1 through 9.2.5 of this Agreement, which was not reasonably discoverable at the time of receipt and the cause of which is assignable solely to BI Austria (or BI Pharma).
     3.5.2 If BI Austria receives a notice from InterMune pursuant to Section 3.5.1 that InterMune does not accept any DRUG PRODUCT supplied hereunder, then BI Austria shall immediately start re-testing the DRUG PRODUCT using the retained samples in order to evaluate process issues and other reasons for such non-compliance.
     3.5.3 Regardless of whether BI Austria agrees with InterMune’s rejection of such DRUG PRODUCT, if requested in writing by InterMune, BI Austria shall use reasonable efforts
 
*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

15.


 

to promptly replace such allegedly defective DRUG PRODUCT, the costs of which shall be borne as set forth in Section 3.5.4.
     3.5.4 In the event that BI Austria’s re-testing does not verify InterMune’s reasons for rejecting such DRUG PRODUCT, the Parties shall mutually agree on an independent laboratory that shall determine by applying validated product-specific analytical methods whether such DRUG PRODUCT meets the DRUG PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS. The conclusions of this independent laboratory shall be binding upon both Parties. If such laboratory determines that such DRUG PRODUCT does meet the DRUG PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS, then InterMune shall [***]. If such laboratory determines that such DRUG PRODUCT does not meet the DRUG PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS, then BI Austria shall [***]
     3.5.5 Neither Party may destroy any DRUG PRODUCT alleged not to meet the DRUG PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS until the independent laboratory determines whether such DRUG PRODUCT meets the applicable DRUG PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS and provides written notification to the Parties with respect to such determination, unless BI Austria accepts InterMune’s basis for such rejection. Thereafter, BI Austria shall have the obligation to destroy or have destroyed, at its cost, all such rejected DRUG PRODUCT. Upon BI Austria’s written request and at BI Austria’s cost, InterMune shall either destroy or return to BI Austria any rejected DRUG PRODUCT. The Parties agree that in the event of destruction of DRUG PRODUCT, the method of such destruction shall be in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.
     3.5.6 Claims on account of quantity, loss or damages to DRUG PRODUCT (other than claims that such DRUG PRODUCT does not meet the DRUG PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS and latent defects not reasonably detectable upon inspection) will be dispatched by InterMune in writing within [***] business days following receipt thereof. BI Austria shall use reasonable efforts to replace the quantity of goods which such claims apply, which replacement shall be at InterMune’s expense unless such claims are due to the negligence of BI Austria.
3.6 Increase of Manufacturing Capacity
     3.6.1 As set forth in Section 3.2.1, the Parties will agree upon the annual minimum and maximum supply obligations of BI Austria no later than two (2) years prior to the estimated time for BI Austria’s and BI Pharma’s FDA approval to manufacture DRUG PRODUCT for market supply, which supply capacity obligations shall be set forth in a separate addendum hereto. After the annual minimum and maximum purchase and supply obligations of the Parties are agreed upon, should it become at any time apparent that a higher DRUG PRODUCT demand is necessary, InterMune will notify BI Austria thereof. BI Austria shall inform as soon as reasonably possible InterMune of the respective costs for guaranteeing the appropriate reserved capacity for manufacturing the amount exceeding the original amount agreed upon by the Parties. Upon agreement on the costs BI Austria shall reserve the capacity needed for the increased demand of DRUG PRODUCT.

3.7 Second Source Manufacturer
     3.7.1 BI Austria acknowledges that it is critical that InterMune be ensured continuity of supply of DRUG PRODUCT for use in clinical trials and market supply. BI Austria shall ensure continuity of supply of DRUG PRODUCT for use in clinical trials and market supply. Nevertheless, due to the potentially growing market demand of DRUG PRODUCT, BI Austria’s ability to manufacture and supply DRUG PRODUCT shall be carefully observed. Should at any time BI Austria have any indication that continuity of supply can not be ensured, BI Austria shall immediately inform InterMune thereof in writing. In this event the matter would be immediately forwarded to the STEERING COMMITTEE to discuss second source manufacture of DRUG PRODUCT reasonably and in good faith.
     3.7.2 In the event the STEERING COMMITTEE decides that it is appropriate for InterMune to establish a second source manufacturer, InterMune agrees to provide the first opportunity to qualify as a second source manufacturer for PRODUCT to a BI Austria AFFILIATE. If such an AFFILIATE is — as foreseeable — unable to supply InterMune’s DRUG PRODUCT requirements then InterMune shall be free to choose an alternate supplier. In this case BI Austria shall assist InterMune in transferring the MANUFACTURING PROCESS to a third party supplier by providing reasonable technical assistance and documentation as necessary for a transfer to a party well skilled in the manufacture of such biotech products at InterMune’s cost.
     3.7.3 In addition, the parties, through the STEERING COMMITTEE shall work together in good faith to develop a risk mitigation plan to minimize any risk of interruption in the supply of DRUG PRODUCT for use in clinical trials and market supply, which plan may include, among other things, production of excess DRUG PRODUCT or materials relating thereto (e.g., DRUG SUBSTANCE) that can be used as a buffer and/or the off-site storage of certain DRUG PRODUCT or materials relating thereto.
3.8 MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH
     3.8.1 In the event of a MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH, InterMune shall provide BI Austria written notification of such MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH. Upon BI Austria’s receipt of such notice, the Parties will promptly (but in no event any later than [***] business days from the date of InterMune’s notice to BI Austria of the MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH) agree upon a timetable (not to exceed [***] months) and activity plan pursuant to which BI Austria will cure such MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH. In the event that the Parties are unable to agree upon a timetable and activity plan within the aforementioned [***] business day period after good faith discussions and negotiations, InterMune shall [***]. In the event the Parties do agree upon a timetable and activity plan and BI Austria fails to cure such MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH within the agreed upon timetable and activity plan, InterMune shall have the right to [***].

     In the event, that
     (i) BI Austria AFFILIATE can not qualify as a second source manufacturer for DRUG PRODUCT or
     (ii) in the event such a BI Austria AFFILIATE is — as foreseeable — unable to supply InterMune’s DRUG PRODUCT requirements and
     (iii) provided that DRUG PRODUCT supply as requested by InterMune by a different second source manufacturer, a company experienced in manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals derived from [***] and selected by InterMune could demonstrably take place earlier than a MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH by BI Austria could be remedied, BI Austria shall assist InterMune as requested in [***] [***]
     3.8.2 In the event that BI Austria reasonably anticipates that there is a substantial likelihood that a MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH will occur, BI Austria shall promptly notify InterMune in writing thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, the Parties shall promptly confer to discuss the circumstances and magnitude of such potential MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH, and to determine in good faith whether there are any reasonable steps that BI Austria could take to avoid such MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH. If InterMune is not reasonably satisfied that BI Austria will be able to avoid such MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH, then InterMune shall forward this issue to the STEERING COMMITTEE to determine whether it is necessary or desirable to establish a second source manufacturer in accordance with Section 3.7.
3.9 Quality Agreement
     Promptly after the Effective Date, the Parties shall enter into good faith negotiations for an appropriate Quality Agreement which shall be in final form and executed by the Parties not later than one hundred fifty (150) calendar days after the Effective Date. Such Quality Agreement shall contain such terms and conditions as are customary for the manufacture of pharmaceutical products, including but no limited to storage of records, retention of samples and the like.
4. Prices and Payment

[***].
4.2 [Intentionally omitted.]
4.3 The price for any services constituting OTHER SERVICES hereunder will be agreed upon by the Parties at the time the Parties agree on the scope of such OTHER SERVICES. For accounting purposes, BI Austria may render an invoice to InterMune for any such OTHER SERVICES which are part of an overall work package (work in progress) performed and completed (discrete and definable sub-packages) as of the December 31st of each year during the term of this Agreement, even if the overall work package to which such services or performances apply, has not yet fully been completed.
4.4 The price for the SERVICES, OTHER SERVICES and purchase price for DRUG PRODUCT shall be paid to BI Austria no later than [***] [***] after the date that BI Austria’s invoice is received by InterMune.
     4.4.1 Payment of the invoice amounts shall be made in Austria, [***] into an account with such Austrian credit institution as shall be notified by BI Austria to InterMune from time to time.
     4.4.2 All payments owed to BI Austria by InterMune on the basis of accounts rendered shall be made in such a way that [***] shall be [***] that are [***] on such invoice amounts (e.g. customs duties, VAT, but specifically excluding income taxes). In the event of a default in payment for whatever reason, default interest at a rate of [***] p.a. shall be payable on the outstanding amount due. BI Austria reserves the right to claim any damage exceeding such amount that shall have been caused by such delay, subject to Section 11.1.

     6.1.5 In the event that the PROJECT TEAM is unable to reach agreement on any issue and is unable to make decisions arising out of operational and scientific issues within ten (10) business days, each Party may call in an expert of its own choice to render advice to the PROJECT TEAM. Based on the advice of such expert(s) and the team members’ know-how, the PROJECT TEAM will try to resolve such issue. In the event that the PROJECT TEAM fails to reach agreement on an issue within thirty (30) business days of first undertaking resolution of such issue, such issue shall then be referred to the STEERING COMMITTEE for immediate resolution.
     6.1.6 The Parties’ respective members of the PROJECT TEAM shall cooperate with one another in good faith to ensure the timely reporting of any issues arising under this Agreement that may come to a Party’s attention and to agree on a path forward to resolve such issues as promptly as possible. Furthermore, the Parties’ respective members of the PROJECT TEAM shall use their best efforts to provide to one another documents as far in advance as possible so the members will have a reasonably sufficient time period to adequately review such documents without danger of causing any delay in the activities set forth in this Agreement. This Section 6.1.6 is not intended to and shall not effect any specific timelines for the performance of obligations set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

12.2 Each Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party hereunder to the extent that such disclosure is reasonably necessary for prosecuting or defending litigation, complying with applicable government regulations, conducting preclinical or clinical trials or obtaining marketing approval for the DRUG PRODUCT, 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 impracticable for necessary disclosures, give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure requirement and will use its best efforts assist such other Party to secure a protective order or confidential treatment of such CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION required to be disclosed.

     13.3.2 In the case of any termination, except for termination resulting from BI Austria’s breach or negligence or willful misconduct by BI Austria or BI Pharma, BI Austria shall receive [***], to the extent BI Austria has not yet received all such payments at the time of termination.

     13.3.4 In the event of any termination or expiration of this Agreement, BI Austria shall promptly return all of InterMune’s CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to InterMune, except for a single copy and/or sample of each item for documentation purposes only.

     13.3.5 In the event of any termination or expiration of this Agreement, InterMune shall promptly return all of BI Austria’s CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to BI Austria, except for a single copy and/or sample for documentation purposes only.
     13.3.6 Except as set forth in Section 3.8.1(iii), Section 13.1 and Section 14.3, BI Austria shall not be obligated to provide to InterMune any assistance in transferring the MANUFACTURING PROCESS to a third party other than providing documentation (e.g., batch records and specifications) in the most current version which is not yet in possession of Intermune at the time.
     13.3.7 The following provisions shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement: Sections 3.8.1, 5.2.3, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13.2.3, 13.2.6, 13.3 and 14 and any other Section which by its nature should survive. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not relieve either Party of any liability which accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination, nor preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement, nor prejudice either Party’s right to obtain performance of any obligation.

Each Party hereby expressly waives any requirement that the other Party exhaust any right, power or remedy, or proceed against an AFFILIATE, for any obligation or performance hereunder prior to proceeding directly against such Party.
14.2 Force Majeure
     Neither Party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance or non-performance caused by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of such Party, including but not limited to acts of God, explosion, fire, flood, labor strike or labor disturbances, sabotage, order or decree of any court or action of any governmental authority (except where such order, decree or action is a direct result of BI Austria’s breach of its obligations hereunder), or other causes, whether similar or dissimilar to those specified which cannot reasonably be controlled by the Party who failed to perform (each such event, a “FORCE MAJEURE EVENT”).

In the event InterMune assigns this Agreement under Section 14.3.2 before the completion of the SERVICES and such assignee is a competing contract manufacturing organization which manufactures biopharmaceuticals and BI Austria desires to terminate this Agreement under this Section 14.3.3, BI Austria shall provide written notice of termination to InterMune and its assignee no later than [***] as of BI Austria’s receipt of written notice of assignment from InterMune and such termination shall be effective [***] after InterMune’s receipt of such notice of termination rather than the aforementioned [***] notice period.

The demand for arbitration may be filed by either Party within a reasonable time after the executive mediation in accordance with Section 14.5.1 has concluded, but no later than after the date upon which institution of legal proceedings shall be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.
