(d) If Replacement Product is purchased by HQ from a third party with the consent of Supplier, or if it is subsequently determined that Supplier’s refusal to consent to the purchase was unreasonable, Supplier shall compensate HQ for the amount, if any, that the price HQ would have had to pay to Supplier for the Commercial Product had it been delivered pursuant to this Agreement is less than the price paid to purchase the Replacement Product. Such amounts shall be due and payable, in cash or in credit at the option of Supplier within fifteen (15) days of delivery by HQ of an invoice for such amounts. Compensation by Supplier of HQ pursuant to this paragraph shall be the limit of Supplier’s liability hereunder.

(f) For HyperRab^MC S/D, Supplier will make commercially reasonable efforts to guarantee the supply of 2 xX xxxx size HyperRAB^MC S/D in the appropropriate quantity however, if HyperRAB^MC S/D cannot be supplied, Supplier will work with HQ to identify an acceptable alternate supplier. In the event the price of a Replacement Product for HyperRAB^MC S/D purchased from an alternate supplier is higher than the Agreement price, Supplier will pay a purchase cost differential not to exceed [***] for the entire Term for HyperRAB^MC S/D. The [***] limit will not apply in the event Supplier fails to supply the agreed upon quantities as a result of willful misconduct.

(g) Nothing in this Section 3.9 shall limit the right of HQ to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 18 should the occurrence of an event as described in Section 3.8 constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

SCHEDULE “F” – VIAL SIZES SUBSTITUTION / WASTAGE

The Parties hereby agree that the following clauses shall govern any Wastage as that term is described herein.

Wastage

1. Wastage occurs when a specific vial size of a Product is not delivered by Supplier as provided for in the applicable Rolling Forecast, and the HQ inventory of that vial size falls below five (5) weeks coverage, resulting in HQ customer orders for that vial size being filled with the next available larger vial size (“Substitution”).

2. In the event of wastage, Supplier shall compensate HQ (“Compensation”). The time period during which Supplier will compensate HQ (“Compensation Period”) will commence when the HQ inventory falls below five (5) weeks coverage due to the failure of Supplier to deliver to HQ as provided for in the applicable Rolling Forecast. The Compensation Period will end when sufficient product is delivered to HQ to restore inventory to at least the five (5) week level.

3. Compensation will be calculated as follows:

(a) The number of vials of Product purchased in Substitution during the Compensation Period will be estimated by comparing the weekly demand for the vial size that is unavailable during the Compensation Period to the average weekly demand for that vial size during the previous twenty-six (26) weeks. In cases where inconsistent supply may result in the average weekly demand during the previous twenty-six (26) weeks not being representative of true demand, the Parties will agree on another more applicable historical demand period; and,

(b) The average price during the Compensation Period of the vial size that was being purchased in Substitution will then be compared to the average price during the Compensation Period of the vial size that was substituted for, and a price differential will be calculated (the “Price Differential”); and,

(c) The estimated number of vials purchased in Substitution during the Compensation Period as determined in (a), will be multiplied by the Price Differential as determined in (b) and this will be the total amount of Compensation owing by Supplier to HQ.

4. Compensation may be in credit or free Product, as mutually agreed to by HQ and Supplier.

5. This will be the mechanism for determining Compensation unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties.

SCHEDULE “J” – KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS PROGRAM

Extended performance measurement program

1. Objective:

The extended performance measurement program has been created to measure and document HQ’s supplier performance for different aspects related to Products with the goal of optimizating performance and ensuring maximum efficiency.

2. Key Performance Indicators (KPI):

The extended performance measurement is based on four indicators :

a) Delivery performance (20%)

b) Product conformance (15%)

c) Contract – partnership

1. Regulatory documentation (15%)

2. Inventory level (20%)

d) Customer service (30%)

a) Delivery performance (20%)

Delivery performance is based on three criteria:

· Quantity;

· Delivery date;

· Documentation.

A global result is calculated based on the number of line items respecting all three criteria

Formula : Number of line items respecting all 3 criteria

Total number of line items

HQ has established a delivery objective of 98% or more on the monthly performance rating for Supplier.

The results compiled by criteria are, however, not in direct relation to the global result.

For each measurement criteria, there are three possibilities:

· Respect;

· Non-respect; or

· Not received.

Respect : The criteria is considered as “in respect” if :

· The criteria is respected;

· HQ is notified of a change and if HQ is in acceptance of the change.

Non-respect : The criteria is considered as “non respect” if:

· The criteria is not respected or is erroneous;

· A change is not notified to HQ;

· A change is notified to but not accepted by HQ for a delay within the same month.

Not received : The criteria is considered as “not received” if:

· The criteria is not fulfilled in the current month;

· A change is notified to but not accepted by HQ and which in consequence entails a delivery delay to a subsequent month.

Note: Any change that is affected within the Binding Forecast and is accepted by Parties is measured according to the established criteria based on the updated requirement.

Quantity criteria:

· A line item delivered at ± 10% is considered as a “non-respect” if a change in quantity has not been confirmed to HQ fractionation department;

· A pre-shipment notification must be provided to HQ prior to delivery, confirming the exact quantity/quantities to be shipped. Upon receipt, should the quantity for any line item differ from the quantity confirmed, the applicable line item will be considered as a “non-respect”;

· If the total quantity for a line item will not be received in a single delivery and if the HQ fractionation department has accepted the split delivery, a new line item will be created to reflect the subsequent delivery and will in consequence be measured according to the updated information.

Delivery date criteria:

· Supplier must supply a written pre-shipment notification confirming the precise delivery date for each line item. If the actual receipt date differs from the confirmed date, the applicable line item(s) will be considered as “non-respect”;

· A line item which is delivered in a month other then the current month and for which HQ fractionation department has not accepted the schedule change, the line item will be considered as “not received”.

Documentation criteria:

· The documentation criteria includes two types of documentation :

· Pre-shipment notification

· Documentation at the time of receipt

Pre-shipment notification:
