Purchase Orders. During the Term of this Agreement, Purchaser may issue Purchase Orders containing instructions for performance under this Agreement, specifying the Specification number (i.e., change number) and quantities (and type, if applicable) of the Products desired. Supplier shall notify Purchaser promptly if the Specification number (change number) on the Purchase Order does not match the Specification number (change number) of the Product that Supplier has agreed to produce. Such Purchase Orders shall constitute the only authorization for Supplier to provide Products to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall accept only that performance that has been pre-authorized as evidenced by a Purchase Order. Supplier shall confirm its receipt and acceptance of each Purchase Order. Supplier shall not be entitled to reject an order which complies as a Purchase Order under this Agreement. For clarification, nothing in this Agreement requires Purchaser to submit any Purchase Orders or obligates Purchaser to purchase any quantity of Products other than as reflected in those portions of the Rolling Monthly Forecasts which are binding. Purchaser may make changes to the identity of Products, quantities, and/or delivery dates or delivery locations specified in issued Purchase Orders without penalty, additional cost, or the consent of the Supplier, provided that such changes are made outside of the Firm Lead-Time (as established in Section 3.4) and are otherwise in compliance with this Agreement. Supplier shall reference the Purchase Order number on all packing slips (and/or bills of lading) and invoices (including commercial invoices) for Product(s) delivered hereunder. Any term or condition of any Purchase Order, packing slip, xxxx of lading, or invoice that is different from or contrary to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be void and of no force and effect. |
3.2 |
Forecasts. In order to facilitate Supplier’s forward planning process for Products, and to assist Supplier in making certain decisions relative to inventory of long lead-time raw materials, by the first of each month during the Term of this Agreement, Purchaser shall provide Supplier with a written, rolling twelve-month forecast of its monthly estimated requirements for the Products (each a “Rolling Monthly Forecast”), of which only the first three (3) months will be binding. While the non- binding portion of each Rolling Monthly Forecast shall constitute the good faith beliefs of RDO and RDR, respectively, RDO and RDR may make such changes to the non-binding portion of each Rolling Monthly Forecast as it sees fit; provided, however, (i) the quantities forecasted for the sixth month of any Rolling Monthly Forecast shall not be increased by more than 25% prior to entering the Firm Order Period and (ii) the quantities forecasted for the ninth month of any Rolling Monthly Forecast shall not be increased by more than 50% prior to entering the Firm Order Period. In the event that RDO or RDR submit purchase orders in excess of those permitted pursuant to the forecasting mechanism set forth in this Section 3.2, Supplier shall not be obligated to accept that portion of the quantities set forth in such purchase orders that represents the overage (the “Excess Order Quantity”) . Nevertheless, to the extent Supplier accepts a purchase order reflecting an |
SUPPLY AGREEMENT | PAGE 6 OF 50 | CONFIDENTIAL |

Purchaser may submit Purchase Orders for any quantity of Product(s), although Supplier shall not be obligated to accept any Purchase Order that exceeds the quantity or other requirements of this Agreement. In the event Supplier’s manufacturing capacity is insufficient to meet the quantity of Products requested by Purchaser in a Purchase Order or the quantity set forth in a Rolling Monthly Forecast, Supplier shall notify Purchaser of such circumstances as soon as possible, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days from the date of receipt of such Purchase Order or Rolling Monthly Forecast, and RDR and/or RDO shall be entitled to reduce the Worldwide Minimum Purchase Quantities specified in Exhibit D. Such reduction in the annual Minimum Purchase Quantity shall apply only to the year of such capacity shortage, and shall be a fraction equal to the ratio of (i) the aggregate, cumulative Prices of Products covered by Purchase Orders or Rolling Monthly Forecasts as to which Supplier has notified Purchaser that it does not have capacity, over (ii) the aggregate, cumulative Prices of all Products covered by Purchase Orders submitted by Purchaser to Supplier during such year. Such calculation shall not include Excess Order Quantities. If the capacity shortfall occurs during the first three years under Exhibit D, the annual Minimum Purchase Quantity shall be deemed to be [***] units, but only for purposes of calculating the reduction. Supplier agrees that in the event Supplier’s manufacturing capacity is insufficient to meet the quantity of Products requested by Purchaser in a Purchase Order, and not in excess of those permitted pursuant to the forecasting mechanism set forth in Section 3.2, or the quantity set forth in a Rolling Monthly Forecast, Supplier will equitably allocate its manufacturing capacity based upon the quantities of products set forth in firm purchase orders received from its customers, until the shortfall issue is corrected. |

RISK MANAGEMENT | |
10.1 |

In order to demonstrate supply risk management to RDR and RDO, Supplier shall establish within one hundred eighty (180) days of the Effective Dated and maintain a disaster recovery plan (the “Disaster Recovery Plan”), which Disaster Recovery Plan would be implemented in the event of on an insolvency of Supplier as defined in this Agreement or a significant or catastrophic event affecting the supply of Products. As a provision of the Disaster Recovery Plan, Supplier shall grant to RDR and/or RDO an exclusive license to manufacture the Products or to sublicense a third-party approved by RDR and/or RDO to do the same to prevent an interruption in supply of Products (the “License”). The License shall be subject to the applicable terms and conditions of any license under which Supplier is sublicensing Purchaser and to the terms and conditions set forth in a license agreement negotiated in good faith on commercially reasonable terms by the Parties. Upon such occurrence, Supplier shall immediately provide to RDR and/or RDO written detailed information and technical assistance sufficient for RDR and/or RDO or a third party to manufacture the Products (collectively, the “Detailed Manufacturing Instructions”). The Detailed Manufacturing Instructions shall include, without limitation and as applicable, the following: | |
(a) |
an approved raw material vendor list; | |
(b) |
raw material specifications; | |
(c) |
machine-readable materials (e.g. software); | |
(d) |
operating manuals; | |
(e) |
quality control procedures; and | |
(f) |
detailed manufacturing instructions. | |
In the event the License to make or have made becomes effective as provided in this Section 10.1, or Section 8.2, the Parties will cooperate in the transition of manufacturing, including the transfer of Detailed Manufacturing Instructions to enable RDR and RDO or another supplier to manufacture the Products. | ||
Supplier shall enter into an escrow agreement (“Escrow Agreement”) with a mutually agreeable escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”), such Escrow Agreement providing for the deposit of one complete copy of the Detailed Manufacturing Instructions.

Any such auditor shall treat the escrowed information as Confidential Information of Supplier. The scope of such audit shall be limited to ensuring that the obligations of this Section 10.1 have been met. Any such audit |
SUPPLY AGREEMENT | PAGE 13 OF 50 | CONFIDENTIAL |
VER. 8.20.05 |
ROCHE DIAGNOSTICS, SALES AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT V.12 06_19_2008
shall take place at the premises of the Escrow Agent. Supplier shall be entitled to have at least one employee of its choosing present at all times during any said audit. If the Detailed Manufacturing Instructions are found to be inaccurate or incomplete, Supplier shall supplement the Detailed Manufacturing Instructions within twenty (20) Business Days to restore accuracy and completeness, and Supplier shall bear the cost and expense of supplementing the Detailed Manufacturing Instructions. Otherwise, RDR and RDO shall bear the expense of any such audit. Supplier represents and warrants to RDR and RDO that the Detailed Manufacturing Instructions shall be kept current and complete, and shall be updated by or on behalf of Supplier from time to time and in no event more than sixty (60) days after Supplier has made one or more material modifications to any of the Detailed Manufacturing Instructions. In the event of implementation of the Disaster Recovery Plan pursuant to Section 10.1 or upon termination of this Agreement by RDR or RDO pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b)(ii) or (iii) (the “Triggering Event”), Supplier agrees that (i) RDR, RDO or a designated affiliate is entitled to possession of the Detailed Manufacturing Instructions unless Supplier is disputing the basis for the occurrence of the Triggering Event, and (ii) RDR or RDO may give written notice to both Supplier and the Escrow Agent requesting release of the Detailed Manufacturing Instructions. The Escrow Agent shall release and make the Detailed Manufacturing Instructions available to RDR, RDO or the designated Affiliate on the earlier of (1) the Escrow Agent’s receipt of written notice form Supplier agreeing to and authorizing the release or (2) the date that is thirty (30) days after the Escrow Agent’s receipt of the written notice from RDR or RDO under clause (ii) above, unless, during such 30-day period, the Escrow Agent receives written notice from Supplier disputing the basis for the occurrence of the Triggering Event. If Supplier disputes that a Triggering Event has rightfully occurred, Supplier may initiate the Dispute Resolution procedures set forth in Section 16.9 and Supplier shall give written notice to the Escrow Agent, RDR and RDO within thirty (30) days after RDR or RDO gives written notice under clause (ii) above. If the Escrow Agent receives such notice of dispute form Supplier within such 30-day period, the Escrow Agent shall release and make the Detailed Manufacturing Instructions available to RDR and RDO on the date that is sixty (60) days after the Escrow Agent’s receipt of the written notice from RDR or RDO under clause (ii) above; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall not release or make the Detailed Manufacturing Instructions available to RDR or RDO if, prior to the expiration of such 60-day period, all the Parties give written notice to the Escrow Agent that the Detailed Manufacturing Instructions should not be released. If Supplier disputes the release of the Detailed Manufacturing Instructions and it is finally determined that the Detailed Manufacturing Instructions should not have released to RDR or RDO hereunder, RDR’s and RDO’s sole responsibility shall be to cease any further use of the Detailed Manufacturing Instructions (and cause any third party to cease further use of the Detailed Manufacturing Instructions) and to return all copies of the Detailed Manufacturing Instructions to the Escrow Agent. All Detailed Manufacturing Instructions shall be the Confidential Information of Supplier and use and disclosure of the Detailed Manufacturing Instructions shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11. The agreement with the Escrow Agent shall provide that all Detailed Manufacturing Instructions shall be returned to Supplier and the Escrow Agreement shall be terminated within thirty (30) days after termination of this Agreement for any reason other than a Triggering Event, as certified in writing by all the Parties. Except as otherwise stated herein, all costs and expenses associated with the escrow of the Detailed Manufacturing Instructions, including the costs of the Escrow Agent, shall be paid by Supplier. |
|
If Supplier can resume supplying Product(s) to Purchaser(s) in the quantities as Purchaser requires, and in full compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, RDR and RDO (or a third party, as applicable) shall discontinue manufacturing the Product(s) following production restart, where Supplier warrants and provides reasonable and satisfactory assurances that Supplier has the capacity and capability of satisfying Purchaser’s full demand for Products. In such case the manufacturing license with RDR and/or RDO and any sublicense with a third party shall terminate and all Detailed Manufacturing Instructions shall be promptly returned to Supplier. RDR, RDO and any sublicensee shall treat all Detailed Manufacturing Instructions as Confidential Information of Supplier. |
