Page 5 of 19


4.3 Exclusivity: OSGP’s right and obligation in Article 4 to manufacture Products shall be exclusively for P&G unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties. P&G hereby covenants that during the term of this Agreement it shall not institute any action or suit at law or equity against OSGP alleging the infringement of any of P&G’s Intellectual Property by OSGP in its making of Product for P&G. Any improvements made by OSGP to P&G registered Products or processes whether or not patentable shall be owned by P&G. Intellectual property from other OSGP initiated improvements shall be owned by OSGP.

4.4 Labeling and Packaging of Products: It is intended that for existing Products P&G’s artwork will be consistent with OSGPs manufacturing equipment. P&G shall, at its own cost and expense, supply OSGP with the mechanical design of artwork for all Printed Matter except shipper case labels. A technical standards document will be used to state the requirements for shipper case labels. The mechanical design for shipper case labels will be the responsibility of OSGP. P&G artwork for labeling will be subject to OSGP approval solely for a determination of manufacturing feasibility. As used herein, “Printed Matter” means all printed materials, including labeling and leaflets, required to be affixed to and/or packaged with or accompanying Products distributed for or delivered to P&G. Each set of such artwork, and each partial set and/or alteration or amendment thereto, for each piece of Printed Matter shall be identified by a unique item control number or code which is consistent with P&G’s control numbering system and quality control requirements. P&G shall specify the Code for each item of Printed Matter to be supplied with each order for Products. Such Code shall be specified on the purchase order for such Products.

4.5 Maintenance of Equipment: All equipment and tooling required to manufacture P&G’s Products will be maintained in good operating condition by OSGP. OSGP agrees to assume complete responsibility for all maintenance. This includes (but not limited to) preventive and predictive maintenance; and replacement of worn or broken parts and tooling for all equipment and facilities, including major components, utilized in the contract manufacturing of P&G’s Product. OSGP further agrees to maintain adequate insurance coverage and to replace said equipment should equipment for any reason be destroyed by fire, vandalism or perils otherwise covered by an extended coverage endorsement or otherwise rendered unusable for the purpose intended by this Agreement.

5. FORECASTS AND ORDERING:

5.1 Firm Orders: P&G shall give OSGP a firm order of its requirements of the Products at least ninety (90) days before it requires shipment of such Products. Such orders shall be in minimum order quantities, as set forth in Schedule B. OSGP shall use necessary efforts to fulfill orders properly made hereunder by completing Contract Manufacturing Services of the Products on or prior to the date specified on the order as received. A process for handling firm order changes shall be developed and agreed between the parties promptly after execution of this Agreement and documented in SLEA’s.

5.2 Forecasting: Within thirty (30) days of completion of this Agreement and then, at least one (1) month prior to the start of each calendar quarter during the Term, P&G shall

 

Calcium Contract for Europe PFI 11-9-0512

Rev. 1/24/06

 

Page 6 of 19


give to OSGP a forecast of P&G’s estimated requirements of Products starting with the start of such quarter (or the start of the Term). Each such forecast shall be broken down by SKU by month in respect of the first three quarters and by SKU by quarter in respect of the remaining period.

5.3 Customer Service: OSGP shall maintain systems, staffing, and procedures in place to consistently maintain “excellent” customer service for P&G customers, as defined herein. “Excellent” customer service shall be measured by the following P&G defined measures: Shipped On Time, Orders Shipped Complete, Product Availability, Same Day / Next Day Shipments, and Supplier Delivery Performance.

Levels for “excellence” customer service are:

Shipped On Time > 98%

Shipped Complete > 98.5%

Product Availability = 100%

Same Day Shipments > 95% & 100% Within 48 Hours

Supplier Delivery Performance > 95%

OSGP will track their actual monthly performance versus the above targets (the “Monthly Targets”) and report these results to P&G monthly. If any one Monthly Target is not met and the cause / correction of this below target performance is Within OSGP Control, then within two weeks OSGP will develop a plan, (the “Action Plan”), agreed to by P&G which in P&G’s reasonable assessment is feasible to improve performance to meet or exceed target. All costs associated with any such Action Plan will be the responsibility of OSGB. P&G has the right to audit OSGP’s books and records for the purpose of determining accuracy of customer service results reported.

OSGP shall be construed to have failed to perform, as described in Article 11, its customer service obligations to P&G if any of the following events occur:

(a.) OSGP fails to meet one particular Monthly Target for three (3) consecutive months.

(b.) OSGP’s actual performance in any two (2) consecutive months falls below two-thirds ( 2/3) of a Monthly Target.

5.4 Service Level Execution Agreement (SLEA) between the Parties: As soon as practicable after execution of this Agreement, the parties shall develop Service Level Execution Agreement(s) (SLEA’s) covering the details of production planning, customer service, quality assurance, cGMP, problem solving procedures, and similar activities as between the Norwich Plant and each P&G site; and between the Norwich Plant and the P&G European pharmaceuticals business.

6 QUALITY CONTROL AND TESTING:

6.1 Testing and Certificate of Analysis: Before releasing any batch of the Materials, OSGP shall test for the compliance of such batch with all Registered tests for their site and cGMP’s. OSGP’s Quality Assurance department at the Norwich Plant shall oversee and assure the testing is completed by the OSGP Quality Control laboratory at the Norwich Plant. Copies of raw material, manufacturing, and inspection records will be made available for review by P&G representatives. Copies of manufacturing records and

Rev. 1/24/06

 

Page 7 of 19


certificates of analysis incorporating such certification, in the form attached hereto as Schedule E, shall be provided to P&G with each shipment of Product(s) for each batch and/or partial batch contained in the shipment. All such copies shall be sent to the addressees specified by P&G.

6.2 Preservation Samples and Retained Samples: OSGP shall take from each batch of the Products pursuant to this Agreement preservation samples/retained samples which OSGP shall retain for the shelf life of the particular batch and dosage forms of the Products plus one year or longer as required by relevant regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, preservation samples/retained samples, as referred to herein, do not include samples retained for purposes of stability testing. OSGP shall take preservation samples of raw materials and work-in-process materials as designated in writing by P&G. OSGP shall maintain these samples under cGMP conditions and review samples annually according to applicable regulations.

6.3 Stability Testing: OSGP shall conduct stability-testing studies for the agreed Products, which include: all stability studies required to support material changes (e.g. packaging, new suppliers, etc.); changes in the processes to produce items included in then-current stability program (i.e., those cases where only concurrent stability studies are needed, and/or which are initiated after the decision to release batches involved in studies); and any new studies required as a result of manufacturing deviation(s) and any stability studies required as a result of manufacturing deviation(s). The results of this testing program shall be available to P&G, without charge, upon request.

6.4 P&G Testing Rights: P&G shall have the right (but not the obligation) to perform analytical testing on the Products manufactured by OSGP pursuant to this Agreement.

6.5 Quality Disputes: Any claim by P&G that any of the Products at the time of delivery to P&G did not meet the Release Specifications or during their shelf life did not meet the Specifications must be made in writing to OSGP within thirty (30) days after discovery by P&G of the problem. In the event that P&G claims that any of the Products failed to meet the Release Specifications or the Specifications and OSGP disagrees with P&G’s findings, OSGP shall test In OSGP’s Norwich Plant testing facilities a retained sample from the same batch as the contested Product. P&G may, at its option and cost, have one of its personnel present for and actively participate in such testing. At P&G’s discretion the testing may be done at a Third Party laboratory mutually agreed upon by the parties. The results of such Third Party testing shall be accepted by the two parties as final and binding. The cost of such analysis, and the cost of testing, shipment, replacement or disposal of disputed Product, shall be borne by the party whose position is not substantiated by the testing.

6.6 Customer Complaints: P&G shall, without delay, inform OSGP of any customer complaints of which it becomes aware which may relate to the manufacturing or packaging of the Products. OSGP shall provide P&G, at OSGP’s expense, with all reasonable assistance in investigating complaints that are alleged to have arisen from manufacture or packaging of the Products hereunder.

Page 8 of 19


6.7 Health Authority Inquiries: OSGP shall be responsible for responding to any inquiry from any legally competent health authority in the Territory regarding the Norwich Plant. For any such responses regarding or related to the Products, P&G shall review and approve the response prior to filing. OSGP shall without delay, at its own expense, make available to P&G a copy of pertinent sections of any inspection report resulting from any inspection of the Norwich Plant by such health authority to the extent such report relates to the Products, the manufacture of the Products, or Norwich Plant facilities used to manufacture the Products as well as a copy of any response(s) thereto. P&G shall provide OSGP with all reasonable assistance in responding to such inquiries and in handling inspections of the Norwich Plant for the Products by such authorities. OSGP shall without delay inform P&G of any such inquiries and any requests for inspections of which it becomes aware.

6.8 Quality Assurance Key Elements OSGP agrees to comply with P&G Quality Standards as described in P&G’s Quality Assurance Key Elements (QAKE) Assessment and all future revisions thereto. P&G shall use said QAKE Assessment periodically to audit OSGP’s Norwich Plant and shall provide OSGP a written report following said audit. For all Products that OSGP produces for P&G and all facilities and systems supporting such production, should OSGP’s audit result in a score less than 100%, OSGP shall develop and implement, and P&G shall approve in writing, a detailed plan to improve OSGP’s systems. P&G will provide a copy of the QAKE manual to OSGP, which shall be incorporated as appropriate into OSGP’s operating procedures used for production of Products covered by this Agreement. Should OSGP fail to meet the agreed-upon success criteria on a mutually acceptable time schedule, or fall below a QAKE score of 100% P&G shall have the right to notify OSGP of OSGP’s failure to perform per Article 11.

In the event that the parties agree on changes to quality assurance and manufacturing systems, and such changes require capital or increased staffing to implement, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine the extent to which each party shall bear the costs of such changes.

7 SUPPLY OF PRODUCTS:

7.1 Approval & Disposition of Scrap: OSGP may not scrap or otherwise destroy any of P&G’s Products without P&G’s prior written authorization. In situations where scrapping is authorized, OSGP agrees to provide to P&G written documentation assuring that the Products have been scrapped in a timely manner and by a means approved by P&G. In such approved scrapping situations the Materials cost of Product scrapped and the physical disposition costs are for P&G’s account. The manufacturing expense cost of Product scrapped due to a problem Within OSGP Control is for OSGP’s account.

8 CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Calcium Contract for Europe PFI 11-9-0512

Rev. 1/24/06

 

Page 11 of 19


SELLER has the right to increase any PRICE specified herein due to raw, packaging or miscellaneous material costs on July 1st each year, provided SELLER has given BUYER at least thirty (30) calendar days’ advance written notice of such change.

These revised PRICES shall become effective on 30 calendar days after BUYER’s receipt of such notice (“PRICE CHANGE DATE”) unless BUYER provides SELLER with a written objection prior to the PRICE CHANGE DATE (“PRICE CHANGE OBJECTION”). If BUYER provides a PRICE CHANGE OBJECTION prior to the PRICE CHANGE DATE, the PARTIES shall promptly discuss the reason for the PRICE CHANGE OBJECTION and attempt to resolve the same per Paragraph 14.3. If the PARTIES cannot resolve the PRICE CHANGE OBJECTION within 30 calendar days, BUYER may (i) purchase the GOODS from any other supplier in which case the obligations, including, but not limited to, any purchase and sale requirements and/or commitments, if any, of BUYER and SELLER hereunder shall be reduced accordingly; or (ii) terminate this AGREEMENT without any penalty, liability or further obligation.

12.3 Price Change Audit: Buyer shall have the right to initiate an audit to verify the adjustments to price and/or data pertaining to the adjustments as used by Seller in revising the price. The intent of the audit would be to insure that market-based pricing adjustments are passed through to Buyer in the amounts actually incurred by Seller. The audit is not intended to verify absolute price or to force pass-through of non-market-based pricing adjustments.

In order to initiate such an audit, Buyer shall provide written notice to Seller of its desire to audit price adjustments in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph. Buyer shall initiate such audits not more frequently than once every twelve (12) months. In the event Buyer initiates such an audit, the firm of independent certified public accountants which is regularly retained by Seller to audit its finances shall conduct such audit.

The auditing firm will maintain the confidentiality of the data reviewed and will either verify the correctness of such price adjustment or advise the parties of the composite adjustment required to make a correction. If a correction is warranted, the price will thereafter be adjusted by the parties in accordance with such corrected data and calculations, and any deficiency or overage in past payments for the goods sold and purchases under this Agreement resulting from such incorrect cost data or calculations shall be corrected by payment, within thirty (30) days, of the amount of such deficiency or average. In all events, Buyer shall pay any and all costs associated in any way whatsoever with the audit procedure.

12.4 Extra Charges: Any charges that OSGP proposes to charge P&G beyond those included in the prices agreed to in this Agreement, its extensions, Supplemental Agreements or amendments, or related purchase orders, must be approved in writing by P&G prior to OSGP incurring or accepting such charges.
