SWITZERLAND

Attention: ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Chief Executive Officer

Dear ▇▇▇▇,

Letter of Amendment to Supply Agreement

We refer to the Supply Agreement dated 12 November 2001 (the Agreement) between CSL Limited (CSL) and ▇▇▇▇▇ Biotech Ltd (Berna) for the supply of Product on a worldwide non-exclusive basis subject to specified Exclusive and Excluded Territories.

As discussed, it is proposed that the Agreement be amended as follows:

1. Agreement to Supply

Under clause 1.7, the Agreement pertains to the supply of Product for Northern Hemisphere influenza vaccine manufacture by Berna. Supply of Product for Berna to manufacture influenza vaccine for the Southern Hemisphere will be the subject of a separate agreement if the parties agree to proceed.

2. Term and Termination

Under Schedule 1 item 2, the Initial Period of the contract is extended by two years to end on 31 December 2009.

3. Supply of Product(s) against Orders

a) Under Clause 3.1. ▇▇▇▇▇ is to provide in November each year a five-year indicative forecast to be discussed at a face to face meeting. At that meeting CSL will confirm whether it expects to be able to supply the forecasted quantity of Product and make adjustments to the indicative non-binding maximum quantities for the five year forecast period.

As at the date of this letter, the quantities outlined in the five-year indicative forecast and up to the maximum quantities are as follows:

Year	Total GM HA	25 mcgm doses
2005
2006
2007
2008
2009

CSL shall use its best efforts to be able to supply to ▇▇▇▇▇ the quantities outlined in the five-year indicative forecast and up to the maximum quantities as follows:

Year	Total GM HA	25 mcgm doses
2005
2006
2007
2008
2009

▇▇▇▇▇ will, before 30 June each calendar year provide CSL with a written best estimate of its supply requirements for the Product for the subsequent year. Within 8 weeks CSL is to notify ▇▇▇▇▇ whether CSL will be able to supply the forecasted quantity of Product for the following season based on expected strains and yields. ▇▇▇▇▇ may, before 30 November each year, submit to CSL a revised best estimate of its supply requirements.

b) Under clause 3.3, each order placed by ▇▇▇▇▇ will be for a minimum quantity of HA for each calendar year as follows:

Year	Total GM HA	25 mcgm doses
2005
2006
2007
2008
2009

CSL confirms and ▇▇▇▇▇ understands and accepts that payment in full is required for the minimum quantity, regardless of whether the minimum quantity is ordered/purchased.

c) Under clause 3.4, each of Berna’s orders for Product shall be in writing and shall constitute a binding order upon CSL. Insofar as ▇▇▇▇▇ requires quantities exceeding those mentioned in Berna’s November best estimate CSL shall use reasonable efforts to deliver such quantities.

4. Price and Payment

a) Under clause 4.1 the Product(s) will be invoiced at the prices set out in Schedule 2. The price will be based on the number of eggs used to manufacture the quantity of Product ordered and delivered to ▇▇▇▇▇. The amount due per egg used will for the year 2005-2009 be as follows:

2005		A$ per egg
2006		A$ per egg
2007		A$ per egg
2008		A$ per egg
2009		A$ per egg

Fax: ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇

b) Under Schedule 2 the 2005 calendar year price for a trivalent dose (25 mcgm of each strain) will be based on an amount of A$ per egg used to manufacture the quantity of Product(s) delivered to ▇▇▇▇▇. The relationship between price per egg used to manufacture the Product and actual price paid per 25 mcgm HA of each strain is dependant upon the egg yield. Using the five year average yield the price of A$ per egg used relates to A$ per 25 mcgm trivalent dose. With better than average yields the price per dose reduces because the processing cost is fixed, as shown in the table below:

Note: the above yields are indicative only. The actual yield could be greater or less than ±10% from the five-year average.

5. Product Recall

Under clause 19.1 ▇▇▇▇▇ will inform CSL immediately by telephone or facsimile transmission (immediately confirmed in writing) in the event of any circumstances giving rise to a possible or actual recall of Finished Influenza Vaccine containing the Product(s) where the recall is alleged to be due to Product(s). CSL will inform ▇▇▇▇▇ immediately by telephone or facsimile transmission (immediately confirmed in writing) in the event of any circumstances giving rise to a possible or actual recall of any batches of the Product(s) delivered to ▇▇▇▇▇.

Clauses 19.2, 19.3 and 19.4 will continue in full force and effect.

6. Adverse Drug Events

Clause 20.2 and 20.5 and Schedule 4 shall be deleted without replacement. Clause 20.1, 20.3 and 20.4 are changed as follows and will replace the previous provisions:

a) Under clause 20.1 CSL and ▇▇▇▇▇ shall keep each other informed on all reports of Adverse Drug Events (ADE) coming to either party’s knowledge with regard to the Product(s) regardless of the origin of such reports. The term Reports shall also include publications in journals and other media. If ▇▇▇▇▇ receives any ADE report which is both serious and unexpected and alleged to be caused by the Product(s) ▇▇▇▇▇ will report the matter to the Registration Authority in compliance with the laws and regulations in the Territory.

b) Under clause 20.3 ▇▇▇▇▇ will give immediate written notice to CSL of any alleged manufacturing or other defect in the Products(s) of which ▇▇▇▇▇ becomes aware and of any possible expense, liability, cost, claim or proceeding arising from the alleged defect.

c) Under clause 20.4 ▇▇▇▇▇ will not make any admission of liability to any third party with respect to claims either in the name of ▇▇▇▇▇ or on behalf of CSL with respect to any adverse experiences alleged to be caused by, and any alleged manufacturing or other defects in the Product(s) without CSL’s prior written consent.

Terms used in this letter shall have the same meaning as defined in the Agreement unless the context requires otherwise. Except as amended by this letter, the terms of the Agreement remain in full force and effect.

1.3 Nothing in this Agreement will restrict BERNA’s ability to deal in bulk influenza vaccine (other than the Product) and Finished Influenza Vaccine formulated with the Product or other vaccines utilising Virosome technology formulated with the Product except that ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees not to sell such vaccines to any third party where ▇▇▇▇▇ knows that same may be used within the Excluded Territory.

1.4 ▇▇▇▇▇ will not use the Product(s) in any way other than as permitted under this Agreement. In particular, ▇▇▇▇▇ will use the Product(s) only as a bulk component in the formulation of Finished Influenza Vaccines and other vaccines utilising Virosome technology.

1.5 Nothing in this Agreement will restrict CSL’s ability to deal in bulk influenza vaccine and Finished Influenza Vaccines except that CSL agrees not to sell Finished Influenza Vaccines to any third party where CSL knows that same may be used within the Exclusive Territory. ▇▇▇▇▇ may on or before 30 June 2002 request that the Exclusive Territory be expanded and CSL will notify ▇▇▇▇▇ of its agreement or otherwise to such expansion on a country by country basis by 30 September 2002.

1.6 Regarding new influenza products developed by ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to consider CSL as a distributing partner for the Excluded Territory.

1.7 ▇▇▇▇▇ is interested to purchase Product(s) for the Southern Hemisphere and CSL agrees to consider ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ request prior to 21 December 2001. If CSL notifies ▇▇▇▇▇ that CSL is willing to supply such Product(s), CSL and ▇▇▇▇▇ will negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement to provide for the supply of such Product(s).

3. Supply of Product(s) against Orders

3.1 ▇▇▇▇▇ will, as soon as practicable after the Commencement Date, provide CSL with a written best estimate of its supply requirements for each of the Product(s) for the 2002 calendar year. ▇▇▇▇▇ will, before 30 June each calendar year, provide CSL with a written best estimate of its supply requirements for each of the Product(s) for the subsequent calendar year. ▇▇▇▇▇ may, before 30 November each year, submit a revised written best estimate of its supply requirements for each of the Product(s) for the subsequent calendar year.

3.2 On or before 28 February, ▇▇▇▇▇ will place a firm written order with CSL for BERNA’s requirement for Product(s) for the upcoming season. BERNA’s order must be for at least 75% of its 30 June written best estimate provided under clause 3.1.

3.3 Each order will be for a minimum quantity of 100 gm HA per strain for the 2002 calendar year, 150 gm HA per strain for the 2003 calendar year and for each subsequent calendar year a scaled up minimum quantity will be agreed between CSL and Berna based on the agreed European SRID assay.

3.6 If CSL delivers Product(s) in excess of ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ firm order, BERNA must advise CSL in writing of the quantity held in excess as soon as such excess is determined. ▇▇▇▇▇ will process the excess quantity and store it for potential use in the following Northern Hemisphere season. If the excess quantity is able to be used in the following seasons, ▇▇▇▇▇ will pay CSL for the excess quantity at the price applicable at the time of delivery within 30 days of the official announcement of Northern Hemisphere strain selection. If the excess quantity is unable to be used in the following season, ▇▇▇▇▇ will destroy the excess quantity and notify CSL in writing that the excess quantity has been destroyed.

3.7 CSL will use its reasonable endeavours to supply the Product(s) in accordance with ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ orders. However, CSL’s liability for any loss or damage which ▇▇▇▇▇ may suffer or incur as a result of CSL’s failure to supply the Product(s) in accordance with accepted ▇▇▇▇▇ orders will be limited to the value of the accepted order (or part thereof) which CSL fails to supply. If CSL delivers Product(s) for the Northern hemisphere to another customer and fails to deliver the accepted ▇▇▇▇▇ order (or part thereof), CSL is liable for any loss or damage ▇▇▇▇▇ may suffer as a result of unfilled ▇▇▇▇▇ customer orders.

3.8 An indicative timing program for ordering and price negotiations is set out in Schedule 3.

parties will negotiate in good faith a new price for the renewal period prior to 30 April of the calendar year immediately prior to the initial year of the renewal term. The parties will take into account any change in CSL’s manufacturing costs and the general influenza market conditions.

4.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing all payments will be made under the terms and in the currency set out in Schedule 2.

4.3 If the closing price of the whole market spot rate for the Australian Dollar relative to the Swiss Franc as reported in The Australian Financial Review deviates by more than 10% from the closing price for the wholesale market spot rate reported in The Australian Financial Review on the Commencement Date, the parties agree to adjust any amounts due under this Agreement so as to ensure that each party bears 50% of the exposure created by the deviation. Any further deviation of more than 10% following any adjustment will result in a further adjustment on the same terms.

5. Packing, Delivery and Risk in Transit

5.1 CSL will sell the Product(s) ExWorks (lncoterms 2000), CSL’s Premises. CSL will pack the Product(s) suitable for delivery to BERNA’s site in Berne, Switzerland.

5.2 [Intentionally Deleted]

5.3 If CSL agrees to arrange delivery on behalf of BERNA (beyond CSL’s obligations under clause 5.1) then the cost of freight and insurance arranged by CSL will be to ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ account, and CSL will be acting as ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ forwarder. BERNA will indemnify and keep indemnified CSL against all actions, claims, demands, losses, damages, costs (including legal costs on a full indemnity basis) and expenses for which CSL may become liable which relate directly or indirectly to CSL’s acting as ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ forwarder under this clause.

5.4 Subject to product liability under clause 13, CSL’s obligations under clause 5.1 and the quality control and acceptance procedures, risk in the Product(s) will pass to ▇▇▇▇▇ upon ExWorks delivery. Property and ownership of the Product(s) will pass to ▇▇▇▇▇ upon payment.

6. Quality Control

6.1 CSL will supply Product(s) free of defects in materials and manufacture, and in compliance with the Specification and any Conditions of Registration (including protocols to EU-regulations) set by the Registration Authority of which ▇▇▇▇▇ has given CSL reasonable prior written notice.

6.2 CSL and ▇▇▇▇▇ will enter into a GMP Agreement, which is to be reviewed annually on or before 30 November, that is to be consistent with terms of this Agreement.

6.3 CSL will keep proper records and reference samples of all of its manufacturing and quality control activities performed under this Agreement. CSL will provide, on request, to ▇▇▇▇▇ a copy of CSL’s current TGA certificate. ▇▇▇▇▇ may audit such records and the production facilites at reasonable intervals, on reasonable notice during normal business hours.

6.4 CSL will notify ▇▇▇▇▇ of any special storage requirements for the Product(s).

6.5 ▇▇▇▇▇ will store the Product(s) in suitable storage facilities having regard to both the Specification and Conditions of Registration and in a manner which ensures proper rotation of stock.

6.6 ▇▇▇▇▇ will test samples of delivered Product(s) and if it believes a particular Product(s) (hereinafter referred to as “the Notified Product”) does not comply with clause 6.1, it will notify CSL advising the batch number. CSL will examine and test from that batch a sample retained by it (hereinafter referred to as “the Batch Sample”). If CSL finds the Batch Sample does not comply with clause 6.1 then CSL will if practicable replace the Notified Product in due time and after discussion with ▇▇▇▇▇.

6.7 If CSL finds the Batch Sample does comply with clause 6.1 and ▇▇▇▇▇, based on its own results, does not accept CSL’s findings, then a mutually agreed independent testing agency will make a final decision with regard to the release specification of the Notified Product, and that finding will be conclusive for the two parties. If it supports CSL findings it is evidence for all purposes that the Notified Product complied with in clause 6.1 when loaded for delivery at CSL’s premises. CSL will not be liable to replace or allow a credit in respect of the Notified Product. The alleged failure of the Notified Product to comply with clause 6.1 will be deemed to have arisen or been caused by reason of an act or default of a person (not being CSL or an employee or agent of CSL) or a cause independent of human control occurring after the Notified Product was loaded for delivery at CSL’s premises. If the releasing authority’s findings do not support CSL’s findings the Product(s) CSL will if practicable replace the Notified Product in due time and after discussion with ▇▇▇▇▇. The cost of the independent testing agency will be shared equally by CSL and BERNA regardless of the outcome.

7.2 ▇▇▇▇▇ and CSL will ensure that their respective employees, agents and dealers are acquainted with the obligations imposed by this Agreement to the extent reasonably necessary to ensure compliance with the Agreement.

8. Promotion and Marketing

8.1 ▇▇▇▇▇ will have the absolute unilateral right to determine its promotion and marketing activities, and the prices at which it will sell the Finished Influenza Vaccine containing the Product(s) and to determine payment arrangements with purchasers of the same. CSL does not desire to participate and will not participate in any price determinations.

9. Provision of Technical Information

9.1 CSL, at its expense, and as soon as practicable after the Commencement Date, will make available to ▇▇▇▇▇ all technical information relating to the Product(s) which CSL considers relevant to the reasonable needs of ▇▇▇▇▇ under this Agreement and to the extent CSL has the right to divulge the information. Nothing in this Agreement other than the required responses to the Registration Authority will oblige CSL to make available to ▇▇▇▇▇ any information, technical or otherwise, which is in any way referable to the manufacture, formulation, production or processing of the Product(s).

9.2 ▇▇▇▇▇ may use any technical information made available to it pursuant to this clause but only for the proper discharge of its obligations. ▇▇▇▇▇ will not use any of the technical information made available to it for any purpose after this Agreement ends.

13.2 ▇▇▇▇▇ will indemnify and keep indemnified CSL against all actions, claims, demands, losses, damages, costs (including legal costs on a full indemnity basis) and expenses for which CSL may become liable which relate directly or indirectly to ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ altered Product in any form, whether bulk, finished or otherwise, their uses or effects except to the extent arising from any breach of this Agreement by, or the negligence or wilful default of, CSL.

(d) a change in effective control of the other party.

14.4 If an important parameter changes so materially that the continuation of this agreement would lead to a material adverse financial effect for a party, that party may by written notice request a negotiation in good faith to amend the terms of this Agreement to address the change in that parameter. If the parties are unable to agree on an appropriate amendment within three months of the date of the notice, either party may terminate this Agreement by immediate written notice. Such termination will not affect firm commitments made in connection with the supply of Product(s) for the upcoming Northern Hemisphere influenza season.

14.5 Termination will not affect any other rights or obligations which may have accrued prior to termination.

14.6 At the end of this Agreement ▇▇▇▇▇ will promptly forward to CSL, at ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ expense, all technical information relating to this Agreement it received from CSL ▇▇▇▇▇ will not keep any copies.

Where such failure or delay continues for a continuous period exceeding six months, the party not experiencing such failure or delay may terminate this Agreement

without penalty by written notice. The parties acknowledge that manufacturing and formulation of the Product(s) and Finished Influenza Vaccine is an extremely time sensitive business and therefore agree to notify each other as early as possible of any failure or delay under this clause 15.8.

15.9 Each party will bear its own legal costs and expenses of and incidental to the preparation of this Agreement.

15.10 This Agreement will bind and enure for the benefit of the parties and their respective successors in title. Neither party may assign any of its rights and obligations without the prior written consent of the other party.

Product(s), Prices and Payment Terms

Product(s):

Bulk Inactivated Whole Virus Influenza Concentrate — Monovalent Pooled Harvest.

Price:

The 2002 calendar year price for a trivalent dose (25mcgm of each strain) will be based on an amount of

per egg used to manufacture the quantity of Product(s) delivered to ▇▇▇▇▇. The relationship between price per egg used to manufacture the product and actual price paid per 25mcgm HA of each strain is dependant upon the egg yield. Using the average yield for the period l990-2000 the price of per egg used relates to per 25mcgm trivalent dose. With better than average yields the price per dose reduces because the processing cost price is fixed, as shown in the table below.

Note:
· the yield is indicative only, the actual yield could be greater or lower than ± 10%.

CSL will notify ▇▇▇▇▇ of indicative total cost of total order after one month of processing, ie indicative yields will be communicated but accurate costs (total numbers of eggs used) will not be finalised until completion of the total order. CSL will notify ▇▇▇▇▇ with each delivery the total number of inoculated eggs used.

The quantity of Product(s) delivered will be determined pursuant to the accepted SRID assay method using the agreed SRID standard and the volume measured by CSL and ▇▇▇▇▇. Any difference of 10% or less between the CSL and ▇▇▇▇▇ test will result in a sharing of the variance in terms of price on a 50:50 basis. If there is a difference of more than 10% discrepancy between the CSL and ▇▇▇▇▇ test, CSL and ▇▇▇▇▇ will discuss in good faith a resolution. If CSL and ▇▇▇▇▇ are unable to resolve the discrepancy, then an independent testing agency tests the material. The accepted result will be the average of the two closest results. The cost of the independent testing agency will be shared equally by CSL and ▇▇▇▇▇ regardless of the outcome.

Payment Terms:		If not otherwise specified, payment is due 60 days from date of invoice. Prices in Australian Dollars Ex Works, Parkville, Victoria 3052 (Incoterms 2000).
Product Specification:		General Specifications according to Specifications of European Pharmacopoeia already delivered to CSL.

Any change of the EuPharm monography on influenza vaccines and Product testing requirements shall be sent by ▇▇▇▇▇ to CSL or CSL to ▇▇▇▇▇ as soon as possible.

The Specifications for the strains for the coming season shall be fixed according to the recommendations of WHO and EU respectively and set out in BERNA’s order to CSL.

Adverse Drug Event (ADE) Reporting Guidelines
(Clause 20)

1. Principle: The Adverse Drug Event (hereinafter ADE) reporting system shall correspond basically to the European Union Directive (EU) 93/39 and the corresponding regulations of each country of the Territories brought to knowledge of the ▇▇▇▇▇. The ADE shall preferably be forwarded using the format of the COMS-formulary.

2. CSL and the ▇▇▇▇▇ shall keep one another informed on all reports of ADEs coming to either party’s knowledge with regard to the Product(s), regardless of the origin of such reports. The term “Reports” shall also include publications in journals and other media.

3. Reports on such ADEs which according to the informing party’s careful professional evaluation may negatively affect the benefit-risk-ratio of the Product or may have consequences regarding the Product’s Information (eg. labelling, data sheets, package inserts) or may require immediate safety measures or regulatory authorities (such as special information/warnings to the medical profession, patients, authorities or withdrawal of the Product) shall be forwarded to the other party without delay after having become known.

4. The same immediate forwarding, without delay shall apply in cases of reports on ADEs being both serious and unexpected (ie. hitherto not specified in the Product’s Information).

5. The informing party is invited to give both the primary reporter’s and its own professional evaluation of such reports, in particular with regard to suspected causality, with reasoning, either together with such information or at a later date.

Categories for determining relationship of ADE to the Product:

· Certain

· Probable

· Possible

· Unlikely

· Unrelated

· Insufficient Evidence
