Article 7: Annual Product Forecasts

7.1

[ ], OA will submit to VGN its first Annual Product Forecast and its first PO for the Product, for the Country. As other Countries are approved for reimbursement, these will be added to the Annual Product Forecast. The Parties may agree to consolidate groups of Countries into regions for the purpose of creating and updating the Annual Product Forecast. In the event individual Countries are added after other Countries are already approved, and provided the labeling and packaging are in a common language, the Parties may agree to limit the requirement for submission of a Country-specific PO and instead simply add to planned POs for purchases of Product. This allowance does not apply to the Annual Product Forecast.

7.2

The Annual Product Forecast will represent OA’s best estimate, to its reasonable knowledge, of the quantities of Product it expects to order from VGN during the subsequent 12-month period, expressed on a calendar quarter basis, and for each Country in the Territory.

Where more than one Country requires the same language for labeling and packaging materials, these Countries may be grouped together with respect to the Annual Product Forecast.

facsimile to VGN at its ViraNative, AB facility in Umeå, Sweden. VGN shall confirm receipt of the Annual Product Forecast, in writing to OA, along with any questions or comments.

7.5

No later than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the end of each subsequent calendar quarter, OA will update the Annual Product Forecast and submit the update to VGN. These quarterly updates are intended to provide OA with the opportunity to regularly communicate changes in demand for the Product and to provide VGN with as much prior notice as possible that changes in manufacturing schedules may be necessary.

7.6

In the event OA becomes aware of significant and immediate market dynamics that cause it to believe that a change in the Annual Product Forecast should be urgently communicated to VGN, OA may submit a non-scheduled, updated Annual Product Forecast at its own discretion and to which VGN will respond on a timely basis in the spirit of cooperation.

7.7

VGN will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain sufficient manufacturing capacity to supply OA with its requirements according to the Annual Product Forecast and updates thereto. In order to ensure OA has adequate inventory to fulfill its Annual Product Forecasts, frequent communications are desirable.

Article 8: Orders and Delivery of Products

8.1

The late-delivery penalty shall be [ ] off the total invoice price for every calendar day a shipment exceeds the [ ] expectation, provided that the aggregate value of such penalty shall not exceed the total invoice price.

Viragen International, Inc. & Orphan Australia Pty. Ltd.

License Agreement

8.3

The SKU for the Product and the minimum quantities of SKUs to be provided to OA are specified in Exhibit 5 to this Agreement. Any changes to these must be agreed by both Parties and OA agrees that its purchase quantities will comply with these minimum quantities and will construct its POs accordingly, however the Parties agree that it may be necessary for OA to purchase quantities of Product less than the minimum quantity in the Initial Period in accordance with Article 8.11.

8.4

Once a PO is confirmed as received by VGN, such PO is binding and OA may not change or cancel that PO for any reason, except in the case of any material breach of this Agreement by VGN. Such confirmation must be sent by VGN within 7 days.

8.5

VGN may not cancel any confirmed PO received from OA, except in the case of any material breach of this Agreement by OA.

OA will be responsible for payment of all transport costs, including export/import fees, duties, taxes, insurance, Australian Quarantine Inspection Service permits and any other costs necessary to transport the Product. OA shall supply the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service permits to VGN with each PO and VGN shall complete the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service permits required for shipment of Product and shall supply such permits with the Product at the time of shipment to OA.

8.9

Product manufactured by VGN is temperature-sensitive and is labeled with temperature storage requirements, in accordance with Registrations. OA acknowledges this fact and will take this into account when selecting and contracting with a carrier so that Product handled by that carrier is not adulterated via improper storage and shipping conditions with respect to temperature controls. VGN shall not be liable for any damage to Product, concealed or otherwise, that is due to handling, storage or shipping conditions by the carrier selected by OA or by OA itself.

After the Initial Period, the Product shelf-life supplied to OA [ ]. Failure to comply with this and resulting in OA to be left with out-of-expiry stock will entitle OA to a credit for such stock.

8.12

The Pharmaceutical Benefits Branch (PBB) obligates sponsors to provide them with 6 months notification of lack of supply or cessation of supply of product that has received Reimbursement Authorisation and that failure to do so will incur financial penalty. VGN is thus obligated to provide OA six months notice of lack of supply or cessation of supply of the Product.

8.13

In relation to clause 8.12, where VGN does not provide such necessary information to OA and OA incurs a penalty from the PBB, OA reserves the right to recoup the penalty fee which it has suffered.
