NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, the respective commitments and undertakings of ORPHAN and DSM set forth in this Amendment, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, ORPHAN and DSM hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Unless otherwise defined in this Amendment, capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

 

2. Effective as of the date of this Amendment, the Product Price and package configurations shall be as set forth in Appendix D to this Amendment, which Appendix D shall supersede Appendix D to the Agreement, and Appendix D to Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement, in all respects.

Amendment No. 3: Page 1


  4.2 Manufacture and Supply

During each Contract Year of this Agreement, and subject to the provisions of Section 7.2 hereof as well as other provisions herein, ORPHAN agrees to purchase all of its requirements for the Product in the Territory from DSM, but no less than the minimum quantities of Product indicated below:

 

Year

  

ORPHAN’s Minimum Purchase Quantity

2006

   120,000 bottles

2007

   120,000 bottles

2008

   80,000 bottles

DSM shall manufacture the Product in accordance with the Specifications and applicable cGMP requirements, and shall package, label, and/or otherwise prepare the Product for bulk delivery to an ORPHAN-designated distribution site.

 

4. Section 5.1, “Forecasts”, of the Agreement shall be amended in its entirety and shall hereafter read as follows:

 

  5.1 Forecasts.

 

  5.1.1 Long Term Forecast. Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, of this Amendment, ORPHAN shall deliver to DSM a non-binding three (3) year forecast of Orphan’s quantity requirements for each Commercial Product and for each Contract Year during the Term (the “Long Term Forecast”). The Long Term Forecast shall thereafter be updated every six (6) months (as of June 1 and December 1) during the Term of this Agreement. If DSM is unable to accommodate any portion of the Long Term Forecast, it shall notify ORPHAN and the Parties shall agree on any revisions to the forecast.

 

  5.1.2

Monthly Forecast. ORPHAN shall submit to DSM a written non-binding estimate of its monthly requirements for each Product for each of the next succeeding eighteen (18) months (the “Monthly Forecast”). The Monthly Forecast shall be updated monthly on the third (3rd) business day of the month, on an eighteen (18) month rolling basis. If DSM is unable to accept (i) quantities stated for any new month in the Monthly Forecast, or (ii) quantities in excess of previously forecasted quantities (collectively, the quantities in (i) and (ii) referred to as “Additional Quantities”), then DSM shall notify ORPHAN in writing within five (5) calendar days after receipt of the Monthly Forecast; otherwise such Additional Quantities shall

 

Amendment No. 3: Page 2


 

be deemed to have been approved and accepted by DSM. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any issues in respect of the Additional Quantities, which DSM is unable to accept for any month(s) stated in the Monthly forecast, according to DSM’s available capacity.

 

  5.1.3 Firm Purchase Commitment. The forecast of the most current six (6) month period from the monthly Forecast required under section 5.1.2 shall always constitute a binding firm purchase commitment (the “Firm Purchase Commitment”) which shall state in detail the quantities of Products ordered and the required delivery dates, and shall be binding on the Parties regarding Products to be purchased. The forecast for the remaining twelve (12) month period of the Monthly Forecast is for planning purposes only and shall not constitute a commitment to purchase or supply Product. In the event that ORPHAN does not ultimately purchase the forecast quantities for the Firm Purchase Commitment period, it shall be obligated to pay to DSM for any deficient quantities on the basis of the Product Price, less cost of materials which were, otherwise not utilized by DSM for production of Product as the result of Orphan’s failure to purchase the required quantities. However, if DSM is unable for any reason other than, the failure of Orphan’s designated vendors to provide API and/or Excipients, to supply the Firm Purchase Commitment to ORPHAN, ORPHAN shall not be obligated to pay for that portion of the Firm Purchase Commitment which DSM could not deliver. As of the end of each calendar year hereunder, if ORPHAN has failed to purchase the minimum annual quantity as set forth in Section 4.2, it shall likewise pay DSM for any deficient quantities on the basis set forth above in this Section 5.1.3.

 

5. Section 5.5 of the Agreement, Purchase Quantities, shall be amended to read, in its entirety, as follows:

 

  5.5 Purchase Quantities. Each purchase order shall specify the quantity of units of Product being ordered. Quantities actually shipped pursuant to a given purchase order may vary from the quantities reflected in such purchase order by up to ten percent (10%) and still be deemed to be in compliance with such purchase order, provided however, that ORPHAN shall only be invoiced and required to pay for the quantities of Product which DSM actually ships to ORPHAN.

 

6. Section 6.2, Supply By DSM: This section is deleted in its entirety.

 

Amendment No. 3: Page 3


7. Section 6.3, “Manufacturing Loss”: Financial liability related to API loss shall no longer be governed by Section 6.3. Financial liability shall be governed by section 10.5, as amended by this Amendment.

 

8. Section 7.3, “Annual Price Adjustment Notification”, as referenced in Amendment 2 and the Agreement, shall be amended and hereafter read as follows

 

  7.3 Product Price Adjustments. The Product Price, as specified on Appendix D, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(a) The conversion component of the Product Price, as set forth on Appendix D, shall be adjusted as of January 1 of each calendar year beginning January 1, 2006, and shall be equal to the conversion component of the Product Price for the prior calendar year, increased by a percentage amount equal to the percentage increase in the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods, Pharmaceutical Preparations, Ethical (Prescription), series code PCU-2834 #1, issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, or comparable successor index, during the twelve (12) month period ending with the most recent month for which published monthly statistics are available as of the first day of such new price year (“PPI”). Increases in the conversion component Product Price pursuant to this Section 7.3(a) shall become effective as of January 1 of each calendar year for all shipment of Product during each such year.

(b) The materials component of the Product Price shall also be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(i) Effective as of January 1, 2006 and each calendar year thereafter, the materials component may be increased by DSM by the amount of (A) the increase in costs incurred by DSM to third party suppliers for materials incorporated into the Product over the cost of such materials to DSM in the prior Contract Year, plus (B) a margin/overhead factor equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of such cost increase. DSM shall provide ORPHAN with written notification of any increase in the materials component of the Product Price at least sixty (60) days prior to the start of the calendar year to which such increase applies. ORPHAN shall have the option, upon reasonable notice to DSM, to appoint an independent financial auditor to verify the price increase; and DSM shall make available to the auditor appropriate documentation substantiating DSM’s cost increase. The auditor shall be subject to the confidentiality requirements of Article 14 and shall only disclose to ORPHAN the auditor’s opinion as to whether or not the price increase is consistent with the documentation of increased material costs. If there is any disagreement with respect to any price increase, the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Article 18.

 

Amendment No. 3: Page 4


(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of subpart (i), if, during any calendar year, DSM experiences an increase in the aggregate cost of the Materials incorporated into the Product of more than ten percent (10%) from the start of such calendar year, then DSM shall be entitled to increase the Materials component of the Purchase Price during such calendar year upon sixty (60) days prior written notification by utilizing the protocol set forth in subpart (i).”

 

9. Section 10.5, “Limitation of Liability and Claims, is deleted in its entirety and hereafter shall read as follow:

 

  10.5 Limitation of Liability.
