Fujifilm shall request Modifications in writing from Sponsor by issuing a Change Order to Sponsor for review and approval. Sponsor shall be deemed to have not approved the Change Order if Fujifilm does not receive a written approval of the Change Order from Sponsor within [***] business days of Sponsor’s receipt of the Change Order. If Sponsor does not approve such Change Order, then Sponsor and Fujifilm shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a Change Order that is mutually acceptable.

 

  d) Modifications Requested by Regulatory Authority. If Modifications are requested by or from Fujifilm or Sponsor as a result of requirements set forth by a Regulatory Authority and such Modifications apply solely to the Manufacture of Drug Substance, then Sponsor and Fujifilm will review such requirements and use good faith efforts to agree on the reasonable costs associated therewith, which shall be borne by Sponsor. If Modifications are requested by or from Fujifilm as a result of requirements set forth by a Regulatory Authority and such Modifications apply generally to the Drug Substance as well as other products produced by Fujifilm (for itself or for third parties) or the general operation of the Facilities, then Fujifilm shall bear the reasonable costs associated therewith. Except as set forth above, the reasonable costs associated with Modifications requested by Fujifilm which exclusively benefit Fujifilm and/or its other customers shall be borne by Fujifilm, and the reasonable costs associated with Modifications requested by Sponsor shall be borne by Sponsor.

 

  e)

Regulatory Authority Approval of Modifications. Sponsor shall have sole responsibility for obtaining any and all necessary approvals from any Regulatory Authority for implemented Modifications and for reporting any implemented Modifications to any Regulatory Authority as appropriate, except if Modifications are requested by or from Fujifilm as a result of requirements set forth by a Regulatory Authority and such

Attachment 3: Allocation of Drug Substance between Sponsor and Commercial Partners

 

  1. During the Annual Planning Meeting, Parties shall agree on the allocation of Drug Substance resulting from and payments for Batches Manufactured under Binding Orders. For clarity, such allocated payments will include all invoices from Fujifilm related to performance of the Agreement during the planned calendar year under Binding Order, including but not limited to payments for Batches manufactured under Binding Order, campaign fees, annual fees, and payments for Process Consumables Category C Parties shall make such allocation between Sponsor and its Commercial Partners according to the following mechanism that may be modified from time to time by a written agreement of Parties:

 

  a. Sponsor and each of its Commercial Partners shall provide a [***] Forecast, as specified in Section 4e), reflecting required quantity of Drug Substance and expected number of Batches to deliver such quantity. The required quantity of Drug Substance will be the basis to calculate the percent of allocation of Drug Substance between Sponsor and Commercial Partners (“Percent Allocated”). The number of Batches in the forecast that correspond to the forecasted number of grams will be for planning purposes only and will be verified jointly by Parties during the Annual Planning Meeting, as specified in paragraph 2 below.

 

  b. Percent Allocated will be calculated according to the following formulas:

Percent Allocated to Sponsor = (number of grams forecasted by Sponsor) / (number of grams forecasted by Sponsor and all Commercial Partners)

Percent Allocated to a Commercial Partner = (number of grams forecasted by such Commercial Partner) / (number of grams forecasted by Sponsor and all Commercial Partners)

 

  c. Parties may agree on Percent(s) Allocated that is different than the number calculated according to equations in 1b. Percent Allocated shall be documented in meeting minutes and will be used by Fujifilm to allocate payment responsibility and Drug Substance produced.

 

  d. Sponsor and its Commercial Partners will be responsible for all payments due under this Agreement in accordance with their Percent Allocated. For each payment due under Section 9, Fujifilm shall issue separate invoices to Sponsor and each of the Commercial Partners in amount commensurate with their Percent Allocated,

Example1: [***]

 

  2. The number of Batches to be manufactured under Binding Order shall be calculated by dividing the total number of grams forecasted by Sponsor and each of its Commercial Partners by an average expected Product yield per Batch, rounded up to a full Batch. Parties may agree to manufacture more Batches than calculated. The average expected Product yield used for such calculations shall be documented in the meeting minutes.

 

CONFIDENTIAL    34
[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.   


FDBU-BMT Commercial Supply Agreement

 

  3. For clarity, payment obligations of Sponsor and its Commercial Partners are based on the number of Batches produced and not on the actual quantity of Product Manufactured. Sponsor and its Commercial Partners shall take possession of all Drug Substance Manufactured irrespectively if the quantity (in grams) meets or exceeds their [***] Forecast.

 

  4. Drug Substance from Batches manufactured under Binding Order shall be split between Sponsor and its Commercial Partners according to Percent Allocated, as outlined below:

 

  a. Product shall be allocated in increments of full containers (bottles).

 

  b. Unless otherwise instructed in writing by Sponsor prior to delivery as specified in Section 16, any partial containers, or containers that are left after allocation shall be delivered to Sponsor.

Example 2: [***]

 

  5. After completion of the Manufacturing Campaign for any given year and review of Product yield but before disposition of the last Batch from the Campaign, Sponsor and its Commercial Partners Parties may request that Drug Substance produced is split differently between Sponsor and is Commercial Partners. Sponsor shall be responsible for providing Fujifilm with detail guidance on such split. Change in how actually produced Drug Substance is split between Sponsor and Commercial Partners shall not change the Percent Allocated in relation to Parties’ payment obligations towards Fujifilm.

Example 3: [***]

 

  6. Sponsor or one of its Commercial Partners may request that Fujifilm manufactures additional Batches of Product, for their own use only, within the already scheduled and allocated Manufacturing Campaign. Such additional Batches are not subject to allocation of Product and payments based on Percent Allocated for other batches in the same Campaign. The ordering Party is solely responsible for payments for the additional Batches at the same Manufacturing Price as other Batches Manufactured in the same campaign under the Binding Order. Adding Batches to an already allocated Manufacturing Campaign will not change allocation of payments in relation to performance of the Agreement during the planned calendar year, including but not limited to payments for Batches manufactured under Binding Order, campaign fees, annual fees, and payments for Process Consumables Category C. Batches manufactured under the Binding Order, the Campaign Report Fee, Annual Program fees unless the ordering Party requires a separate report, which would be subject to an additional payment.
