     3.9.2 Notification and Rolling Forecast. Omeros will provide Hospira with written notice when a new drug application (“NDA”) to market Product is submitted to FDA. Hospira and Omeros will cooperate in scheduling and estimating initial commercial Batches of the Product. On or before the first (1st) day of each calendar month, beginning at least [†] prior to the anticipated date of commencement of commercial manufacture (excluding process validation batches), Omeros shall provide to Hospira an [†] rolling forecast of the quantities of Product that Omeros intends to order from Hospira during such period (“Rolling Forecast”). The first [†] of such Rolling Forecast shall constitute a binding order of Omeros and a supply commitment of Hospira for the quantities of Product specified therein (“Firm Commitment”), and the following [†] of the Rolling Forecast shall be a good faith estimate, the [†] of such [†] period which is binding to the extent set forth in the Supply and Purchase Commitment described in Section 3.10.4 below.
     3.10 Purchase Orders; Supply and Purchase Commitment.
     3.10.1 Purchase Orders. On or before the first (1st) day of each calendar month, Omeros shall submit a purchase order (each a “Purchase Order”) to Hospira covering Omeros’ purchases of Product pursuant to the [†] of the Firm Commitment that is effective as of such first day, and shall specify the Delivery dates for the Product included in such Purchase Order. Hospira will use commercially reasonable good faith efforts to accept and meet the Delivery date specified by Omeros in the Purchase Order. Omeros shall not, without the written consent of Hospira, designate a Product Delivery date in a Purchase Order that is earlier than [†]calendar days from the date on which Omeros submits the Purchase Order. For each Purchase Order, Hospira shall provide (a) a confirmation of acceptance of the Purchase Order based on the Product Delivery date specified by Omeros, or (b) a proposed modification of the Purchase Order offering to accept the Purchase Order based on an alternate Product Delivery date. Upon (a) Omeros’ receipt of Hospira’s confirmation of acceptance of the unchanged Purchase Order, or (b) Hospira’s receipt of Omeros’ written confirmation accepting the modified Purchase Order with the alternate Product Delivery date, such Purchase Order shall become a “Firm Purchase Order.” If Hospira subsequently finds that it is unable to meet the specified Product Delivery date for a Firm Purchase Order, Hospira shall promptly notify Omeros and provide to Omeros an alternative Product Delivery date (which shall not be more than fifteen (15) calendar days later than the initial Product Delivery date designated in the Firm Purchase Order).
     3.10.2 Purchase Order Changes. In the event that Omeros requests any change to the Delivery date set forth in a Firm Purchase Order, Hospira shall attempt to accommodate the Delivery date change within reasonable manufacturing capabilities and efficiencies. [†]. Hospira shall also advise Omeros of the reasonable costs associated with making any such Delivery date change (if any), and Omeros shall be deemed to have accepted the obligation to pay Hospira for such associated, reasonable costs if Omeros indicates in writing to Hospira that Hospira should proceed to make the change. Hospira shall charge Omeros the amount agreed upon in writing by Omeros for making any such Delivery date change. If Omeros cancels a Firm Purchase Order, Hospira shall be relieved of its obligation relating to such order, but Omeros will not be relieved of its obligation of payment unless Hospira agrees to such cancellation in writing [†]. Subject to Hospira’s compliance with the terms of Section 2.6.4, if Omeros (a) does not supply sufficient API to Process Product in accordance with a given Firm Purchase Order, or (b) acts in any other

manner, not including any change requested by Omeros due to changes in regulatory or other Applicable Law or to ensure that the Product meets the Specifications, to directly and effectively interfere with Hospira’s ability to perform in accordance with a given Firm Purchase, Omeros shall remain liable for the full amount of the Firm Purchase Order, regardless of whether such Product is Processed by Hospira or whether Omeros takes Delivery of any such Processed Product [†]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hospira shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to supply Omeros with quantities of Product which are in excess of the quantities specified in a Firm Purchase Order, subject to Hospira’s other supply commitments and manufacturing and equipment capacity.
     3.10.3 Agreement Controls. In the event of a conflict between the terms of any Firm Purchase Order and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control.
     3.10.4 Supply and Purchase Commitment. Hospira shall supply Omeros with the quantity of Product ordered by Omeros in each Firm Purchase Order, unless the quantity of Product ordered for any calendar quarter exceeds [†] thereafter, in which event Hospira shall use commercially reasonable efforts to supply quantities in excess of these amounts.
     3.10.5 Purchase Commitment. Following completion of the first [†] of the Initial Term, Omeros covenants to purchase from Hospira not less than [†] of the Rolling Forecast during the [†] of the Initial Term thereafter (the “Minimum Purchase Requirement”). Omeros may shift any portion of its Firm Commitment to the [†] of the Rolling Forecast so long as its Minimum Purchase Requirement is met. In lieu of Omeros taking Delivery of each such [†] Minimum Purchase Requirements of Product, Omeros shall have the option, to be exercised in writing if elected by Omeros, to pay for its Minimum Purchase Requirement at the Price set forth in Exhibit B and waive Hospira’s Processing and Delivery obligations for the corresponding amount of Product. In the latter event, Hospira shall invoice Omeros for the amount payable to meet the Minimum Purchase Requirement, and Omeros shall pay Hospira such amount within [†] after receipt of Hospira’s invoice.
     3.10.6 Failure/Inability to Supply.
(a) At Least [†]. If Hospira fails to, or is unable to, supply Omeros with at least [†] of the quantity of Product ordered by Omeros pursuant to the greater of (i) all Firm Purchase Orders received during [†], or (ii) Omeros’ Firm Commitment for any [†] period, then the Minimum Percentage of Omeros’ Product Requirements would, at Omeros’ sole discretion, be decreased by [†].
(b) At Least [†]. If Hospira fails to, or is unable to, supply Omeros with at least [†] of the quantity of Product ordered by Omeros pursuant to the greater of (i) all Firm Purchase Orders received during [†], or (ii) Omeros’ Firm Commitment for any [†], then promptly thereafter Hospira’s and Omeros’ senior executives shall meet to develop a corrective action plan and/or remedy. If such mutually acceptable corrective action plan and/or remedy is not developed and mutually agreed [†] after the first meeting of such executives, then Omeros shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to either [†] (ii) require Hospira to qualify another Hospira site at Hospira’s sole cost; or (iii) terminate this Agreement.

All Product Data, including, without limitation, all Batch Records and other Product-specific Technical Records generated or obtained by Hospira in connection with this Agreement, and all Specifications, including, without limitation, Master Batch Records generated or obtained by Hospira in connection with this Agreement, but excluding General SOPs, shall be the sole and exclusive property of Omeros and shall be deemed to be Omeros’ Confidential Information. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement or the earlier request of Omeros, Hospira shall send to Omeros at Omeros’ sole and reasonable expense, complete copies of all Product Data and Specifications in written and (where available) editable electronic form. The Product Data shall be prepared, documented and communicated by Hospira in a manner consistent with the Specifications or as otherwise instructed by Omeros.
     7.4 No Implied Right or License. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be implied to grant to either Party any right or license with respect to the other Party’s Intellectual Property or Confidential Information of the other Party, except as specifically provided in this Agreement.
     8. CONFIDENTIALITY
     8.1 Confidential Information. Each Party agrees that the disclosing Party has and shall retain sole and exclusive rights of ownership in all Confidential Information disclosed or owned by such Party. Each Recipient agrees that during the term of this Agreement and for five (5) years thereafter it will not use any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party except for the purposes of performing under this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing. Each Recipient agrees not to disclose any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party to others (except to Recipient’s employees, consultants, professional advisors, agents and Affiliates who reasonably require disclosure of such Confidential Information to achieve the purposes of this Agreement and who are bound to the Recipient by like obligations as to confidentiality no less stringent than those set forth herein) during the term of this Agreement and for five (5) years thereafter without the prior written consent of the disclosing Party. Hospira agrees that with respect to the Product Data, the Specifications and the Omeros New IP, which are included in Omeros’ Confidential Information, these obligations of non-use and confidentiality shall subsist beyond five years after the termination of this Agreement. Each Party agrees to maintain and follow reasonable procedures to prevent unauthorized disclosure or use of the other Party’s Confidential Information and to prevent it from becoming disclosed or being accessed by unauthorized persons. Each Party agrees that it may disclose to authorized persons only such Confidential Information of the disclosing Party as is necessary for each such authorized person to perform its responsibilities under this Agreement. Recipient shall advise the disclosing Party of any disclosure, loss, or use of Confidential Information of the disclosing Party in violation of this Agreement as soon as practicable. Each Party agrees to return or destroy the Confidential Information of the other Party, whether in written, graphic, electronic or other tangible form, upon written request, provided, however, that legal counsel for each Party may retain an archival copy of Confidential Information solely for purposes of ensuring compliance with this Agreement.
     8.2 Disclosure of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall be considered each Party’s Confidential Information, and accordingly except for disclosures expressly

permitted under this Agreement, neither Party may release any information to any third party regarding the terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party except as required by law or regulation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this Agreement may be disclosed by Omeros to its existing or potential investors, acquirers, merger partners, commercial partners, shareholders, directors and professional advisors as long as such parties are subject to similar conditions of confidentiality.
     8.3 Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, a Party may disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party only to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary : (a) to secure patent protection for an Intellectual Property developed pursuant to this Agreement consistent with the ownership set forth in Subsection 7.1; or (b) to comply with Applicable Law, requirements of any Regulatory Authority or other regulatory or governmental agency, including without limitation the FDA, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Trade Commission and/or the Department of Justice, or judicial order from a court of competent jurisdiction; or (c) in order to conduct pre-clinical or clinical trials or seek regulatory approval to market Product. Prior to making any such permitted disclosures, however, the disclosing Party shall give reasonable advance notice to other Party with as much detail as possible in relation to the disclosure. Each Party agrees that it shall cooperate fully and in a timely manner with the other Party with respect to all such permitted disclosures, including determining what information should be released and requests for confidential treatment of Confidential Information of either Party included in any such disclosure; provided that in no event shall a Party be required to delay any filing or release unreasonably hereunder.
     8.4 Remedies. Because of the unique nature of the Confidential Information, each Recipient acknowledges and agrees that the disclosing Party may suffer irreparable injury if the Recipient fails to comply with the obligations set forth in this Section 8, and that monetary damages may be inadequate to compensate the disclosing Party for such breach. Accordingly, each Recipient agrees that the disclosing Party will, in addition to any other remedies available to it at law, in equity or otherwise, without the requirement to post a bond, be entitled to seek injunctive relief and/or specific performance to enforce the terms, or prevent or remedy the violation, of this Section 8. This provision shall not constitute a waiver by either Party of any rights to damages or other remedies which it may have pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.
     9. NO WARRANTY; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION; INSURANCE
     9.1 No Warranty; Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, EACH PARTY DISCLAIMS ALL CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OTHER THAN THAT THE PRODUCT MEETS THE SPECIFICATIONS, OR ANY WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL EITHER PARTY, ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS, LICENSORS OR PARTNERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY,

CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SUCH DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS, USE OR OTHER ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING PERFORMANCE OR FAILURE TO PERFORM HEREUNDER), EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE).
     9.2 Omeros’ Indemnification. Omeros shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Hospira and its officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Hospira Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, penalties, claims, judgments, demands, suits, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (any of the foregoing, “Damages”) arising out of or occurring as a result of a claim or demand made by an unaffiliated third party against a Hospira Indemnitee for property damage or personal injury (including, without limitation, death), in connection with: (a) Omeros’ storage, promotion, labeling, marketing, distribution, use or sale of Product; (b) Omeros’ negligence, wrongful act or willful misconduct; (c) any breach by Omeros of its obligations, representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement; (d) the lack of safety or efficacy of the APIs or Product; or (e) any violation of any patent or proprietary right of any third party relating to the APIs, Specifications or Product other than Hospira’s General SOPs or other Hospira developed Development or Processing procedures used in the Processing of Product pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent that any such Damages are caused by (i) any failure of the Product to meet the Specifications or any Latent Defect in the Product caused by a Hospira Indemnitee, (ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Hospira Indemnitee, (iii) by the breach by a Hospira Indemnitee of its obligations, representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement, including, without limitation, failure to comply with the Specifications or any Applicable Laws, (iv) by the violation of any patent or proprietary Intellectual Property right of any third party that was known to Hospira and was not known to Omeros at the time of such violation, (v) the purchase, transportation, storage, use, handling or disposal of any hazardous substances in connection with performance of the Services by a Hospira Indemnitee, or (vi) any claim that the Processing or performance of Services by a Hospira Indemnitee pursuant to Hospira’s General SOPs or other Hospira developed Development or Processing procedures violates a proprietary Intellectual Property right of any third party (except to the extent that such claim results from the Specifications or other instructions or directions from Omeros).
     9.3 Hospira’s Indemnification. Hospira shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Omeros and its officers, employees, and agents (collectively, the “Omeros Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Damages arising out of or occurring as a result of a claim or demand made by an unaffiliated third party against an Omeros Indemnitee for property damage or personal injury (including, without limitation, death) in connection with: (a) Hospira’s negligence or willful misconduct; (b) any failure of the Product to meet the Specifications, any Latent Defect in the Product caused by Hospira; (c) any breach by Hospira of its obligations, representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Hospira’s failure to comply with the Specifications or any breach by Hospira of the Applicable Laws; (d) Hospira’s purchase, transportation, storage, use, handling or disposal of any hazardous

substances in connection with performance of the Services; or (e) any claim that the Processing or performance of Services by Hospira pursuant to Hospira’s General SOPs or other Hospira developed Development or Processing procedures violates a proprietary Intellectual Property right of any third party (except to the extent that such claim results from the Specifications or other instructions or directions from Omeros), except to the extent that any such Damages are caused by; (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Omeros Indemnitee, or (ii) by the breach by an Omeros Indemnitee of its obligations, representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement.
     9.4 Procedure. In the event that any third party claim, action or suit is instituted against a Party (the “Indemnified Party”) or its employees, officers or agents in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 9, the Indemnified Party will promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing (provided that the failure to give such notice promptly will not prejudice the rights of an Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the failure to give such prompt notice materially adversely affects the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend the claim, action or suit). Promptly after the Indemnified Party gives such written notice, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall meet to discuss how to respond to such claim, action or suit. The Indemnifying Party shall control the defense of such claim, action or suit. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of such claim, action or suit, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. In any such proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall also have the right to retain its own counsel at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for Damages with respect to a claim, action or suit settled or compromised by the Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent. No offer of settlement, settlement or compromise by the Indemnifying Party shall be binding on an Indemnified Party without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such settlement fully releases the Indemnified Party without any liability, loss, cost or obligation to such Indemnified Party, provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall have no authority to take any action as part of any such defense or settlement that invalidates or otherwise compromises or renders unenforceable the Indemnified Party’s Intellectual Property without the Indemnified Party’s express prior written consent.
     9.5 Insurance. Each Party will procure and maintain, at its own expense, for the duration of the Agreement, and for [†] thereafter if written on a claims made or occurrence reported form, the types of insurance specified below with carriers rated A- VII or better with A.

     Each Party shall include the other party and their subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents as additional insured’s with respect to Commercial General Liability and Excess Liability but only as their interest may appear by written contract.

In the case of cancellation, non-renewal or material change in said coverage, Each Party shall promptly provide to the other Party with a new certificate of insurance evidencing that the coverage meets the requirements in this Subsection 9.5.

terrorism, or power failure; provided that such performance shall be excused only to the extent of and during such disability and the affected Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable. Any time specified for completion of performance during or subsequent to the occurrence of any or all such events shall be automatically extended for a commercially reasonable period of time to enable the affected Party to recover from such disability. Hospira shall immediately notify Omeros if, by reason of any of the events referred to herein, Hospira is unable to meet any such time for performance. Capacity constraints due to the volume of business at Hospira shall not be deemed a force majeure event. If Hospira experiences a force majeure event that interferes with Processing of Product at Hospira’s Facility, Hospira shall, at Omeros’ discretion and request, cooperate in good faith with Omeros in expeditiously transferring Processing to another of Hospira’s facilities, if available. The Parties shall mutually discuss and implement in good faith an agreed-upon action plan for such transfer. The Parties understand and agree that Omeros has chosen the excipient and primary container packaging component suppliers listed in the Specifications and Hospira has agreed to such suppliers. In the event that Hospira has reasonably objected in writing to the use of such suppliers based on demonstrable quality or reliability concerns, and Omeros has unreasonably refused alternate suppliers proposed by Hospira for reasons other than demonstrable quality or reliability concerns, then under such circumstances, Hospira shall not have any liability to Omeros, nor shall Hospira be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement, if Hospira is unable to supply Product to Omeros due to a failure of such suppliers to provide such excipients and/or primary container packaging components to Hospira.

Except for a dispute arising under Subsection 3.3 (which shall be resolved in accordance with Subsection 3.3.4), in the event such good faith efforts fail, such dispute shall be first referred to authorized executives of each Party (collectively, “Executives”) for resolution, upon one Party providing the other Party with written notice that such dispute exists and has not been resolved. The Executives shall attempt to resolve such dispute through good faith discussions prior to instituting any civil action to resolve such dispute.
     12.3 Independent Contractors.

If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision(s), consistent with the intent of the Parties at the time of its execution.
