2.4.1

The first six months of the Rolling Forecast shall be considered binding upon the parties (i.e., United Therapeutics shall place Purchase Orders for, and MannKind shall Supply, not less than the minimum quantity of Product and Semi-Finished Product specified in such Rolling Forecast during such period), and the remaining 12 months will be considered good faith estimates, but may be adjusted as necessary to meet United Therapeutics’ requirements, provided that notwithstanding the limited six-month binding portion of the Rolling Forecast, the Rolling Forecast in effect as of June 2, 2022 shall be considered binding through March 31, 2023.

3.2. Staffing Payments and Facility Utilization Fee.

 

3.2.1.

Staffing Payments. United Therapeutics shall reimburse MannKind monthly for the Staffing Payment, subject to the limits set forth in Appendix E in 2022, and subject to the limits set forth in the Annual Budget in subsequent years during the effective Term, in each case upon receipt of an invoice in accordance with Section 3.3.

3.2.2

Facility Utilization Fee. Effective as of May 1, 2022, United Therapeutics shall be responsible for the monthly Facility Utilization Fee upon receipt of an invoice in accordance with Section 3.3, such invoice specifying the fee owed as specified in section 1.14A. MannKind shall ensure that no depreciation for the building, United Therapeutics funded capital, or other overhead is separately charged to United Therapeutics, or forms the basis of any Product or Semi-Finished Product Price, by virtue of the definitions of “COGs” or “Fixed Overhead”, for the portion of the Facility that gives rise to the Facility Utilization Fee.
