SUPPLIER agrees to sell and BUYER agrees to purchase Recovered Plasma for Fractionation and Frozen Recovered Plasma for Fractionation from SUPPLIER as described in Exhibit B, which is attached hereto and, incorporated herein by reference. For purposes of this Agreement, "Frozen Recovered Plasma for Fractionation" means recovered human plasma that has been frozen within 24 hours after phlebotomy, and "Recovered Plasma for Fractionation" means recovered human plasma that has been frozen within 72 hours after phlebotomy (collectively, "Recovered Plasma"). During the Term (defined below) of this Agreement and for a period of two years thereafter, BUYER shall not directly or indirectly purchase any Recovered Plasma from any of the community blood banks, and/or hospitals (collectively, "CBBs") set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof. This purchase restriction will cover any additional CBBs that, upon agreement of the parties, are added to Exhibit A. This purchase restriction shall not apply if SUPPLIER provides less than 50% of the Committed Volume, and BUYER terminates this Agreement due to such material breach of SUPPLIER. 1. PRICES AND VOLUMES - 2006 SUPPLIER agrees to supply BUYER a minimum of *** liters of Recovered Plasma from December 1, 2005 through December 31, 2006 and in each of the four calendar years thereafter, ending December 31, 2010. However, SUPPLIER will make its best efforts to maximize the supply up to *** liters of Recovered Plasma per calendar year during the Term. The following is the agreed to price level for 2006. This would include Recovered Plasma that is collected from September 1, 2005 and stored until December 2005. This Recovered Plasma will be billed in the year 2005 and applied against the 2006 volumes, and will be delivered to BUYER no later than March 31, 2006. The price for DECEMBER 1, 2005 - DECEMBER 31, 2006 will be as follows: The first *** liters will be priced as follows: Frozen Recovered Plasma for Fractionation *** per liter Recovered Plasma for Fractionation *** per liter PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT MARKED BY AN *** HAVE BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. 2 For all volumes over the initial *** liters will be priced as follows: Frozen Recovered Plasma for Fractionation *** per liter Recovered Plasma for Fractionation *** per liter All prices are FOB CBB locations. SUPPLIER will notify BUYER in writing by no later than January 31, 2006 of the volume of Recovered Plasma (with a deviation of +/- 10%) that SUPPLIER commits to provide BUYER during 2006 (including December 2005). For each subsequent calendar year during the Term, SUPPLIER will notify BUYER in writing no later than November 15 of the prior year of the committed volume for such subsequent calendar year. The volumes referred in this paragraph are referred to as the "Committed Volumes." BUYER shall not be obligated to purchase more than *** liters per year. If an annual Committed Volume is less than *** liters, SUPPLIER shall continue during such year to make best efforts to provide *** liters, and BUYER shall be obligated upon written notice from SUPPLIER to purchase such additional volume, unless prior to receipt of any such notice BUYER notifies SUPPLIER in writing that BUYER does not, during such year, want to be obligated to purchase more than the Committed Volume, which notice shall be provided by BUYER no later than 90 days from SUPPLIER's notice setting forth the Committed Volume. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BUYER shall not be required to purchase more than the Committed Volume of the prior calendar year plus *** (not to exceed *** liters), provided, BUYER notifies SUPPLIER in writing 90 days before the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) annual meeting that BUYER only intends to purchase a Committed Volume equal to that of the prior calendar year plus ***. In order to assist BUYER to qualify the Recovered Plasma for Thrombin, SUPPLIER will, within 30 days of the date of this Agreement, provide BUYER from each CBB with (i) 10 Recovered Plasma units which were separated and frozen after exactly 24 hours (i.e., Frozen Recovered Plasma for Fractionation) and (ii) 10 Recovered Plasma units which were separated and frozen after exactly 72 hours (i.e., Recovered Plasma for Fractionation). BUYER will pay for such units in accordance with the above pricing. Pricing for 2007 THROUGH 2010 SUPPLIER will notify BUYER in writing (the "Price Notice") of the prices for Recovered Plasma applicable to the subsequent calendar year by no later than November 15th of each year preceding the applicable calendar year. SUPPLIER will keep BUYER updated on a regular basis on the status of price the negotiations between SUPPLIER and the CBBs. SUPPLIER will not raise prices to BUYER above the CPI (i.e., U.S. Consumer Price Index-All Urban Consumers, U.S. City Average, as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 3 U.S. Department of Labor) without BUYER's written consent. The prices set forth in a Price Notice for a calendar year will be based on current market conditions. If the current market price is above the CPI adjusted price, then the parties will mutually agree on the price to be charged. If there is a disagreement about the price determined by SUPPLIER based upon current market conditions, the parties will follow Section 14, Disputes, and the price determined under Section 14, Disputes, will apply retroactively to all purchases made by BUYER of the Committed Volume for such year. If at anytime, a requirement of a regulatory agency (e.g., IGIV specification for Omrigam) results in BUYER not being able to use a certain variety of Recovered Plasma (i.e., Frozen Recovered Plasma for Fractionation or Recovered Plasma for Fractionation) to produce and distribute BUYER's products, then, upon written notice to SUPPLIER, BUYER shall no longer be required to purchase such Recovered Plasma from SUPPLIER. Orders for Recovered Plasma may be submitted by BUYER or BUYER's affiliates. 2. TERM The term of this Agreement will be begin on December 1, 2005 and end December 31, 2010, unless terminated sooner as provided under this Agreement (the "Term").
