3.5 Duty to Notify. If Manufacturer, at any time during the term of this Agreement, has reason to believe that it will be unable to perform or complete the Services, Manufacturer will promptly notify Alnylam thereof. Compliance by Manufacturer with this Section 3.5 will not relieve Manufacturer of any other obligation or liability under this Agreement.

4.	Forecasts, Orders, Shipping.

4.1 Rolling Forecasts. Alnylam’s initial Forecast is provided in Appendix D, and subsequently, within [***] Business Days [***] thereafter during the term of this Agreement, Alnylam will provide Manufacturer with a rolling forecast (the “Forecast”) of Alnylam’s anticipated clinical requirements for the Products for the succeeding [***] months. The first [***] months of each Forecast will be considered a binding, firm order by Alnylam (the “Firm Order”). Without limiting Manufacturer’s obligations under Section 4.3 of this Agreement, the last [***] months of each Forecast will not be binding on Alnylam and shall only be provided to Manufacturer for informational and planning purposes (the “Non-Binding Portion”). In addition to anticipated Product volume demands, each Forecast provided by Alnylam will also include the expected Batch yield and target Delivery Date(s) for the Products. Manufacturer and Alnylam will work together in good faith to agree upon targets for Batch size and yield and to address shortfalls in yield.

4.2 Firm Orders. Along with each Forecast, Alnylam will issue SOWs to Manufacturer for the Firm Orders included in the binding portion of each Forecast; provided however, that all SOWs covering Firm Orders shall be deemed accepted by Manufacturer when submitted by Alnylam without regard to the acceptance provisions of Section 2.1 of this Agreement, subject to the following: (i) [***] and (ii) [***].

4.3 Efforts. Manufacturer will at all times reserve sufficient manufacturing capacity to ensure that it can supply Products in the amounts set forth in both the Firm Order portion of each Forecast and up to [***]% of the [***] month period of the Non-Binding Portion of each Forecast; provided however, Manufacturer shall [***]. In addition, Manufacturer will (a) at all times reserve sufficient quantities of raw materials to ensure that it can supply Products in the amounts set forth in the Firm Order portion of each Forecast, and (b) [***].

4.4 Purchase Commitment. To the extent that Alnylam retains the ability to control the sourcing of Product manufacturing without violating conflicting contractual obligations owed by Alnylam to third parties, Alnylam shall purchase from Manufacturer at least [***] percent [***] during the term of this Agreement; provided however, in addition to the other remedies available to Alnylam under this Agreement, Alnylam’s foregoing minimum purchase commitment shall be adjusted appropriately to account for any periods of time during which Manufacturer is unable to perform the Services in accordance with the agreed upon timeframe and/or budget set forth in any SOW. Contingent upon [***], as part of the foregoing purchase commitment, Alnylam will [***].

4.5	Safety Stock; Deposit.

(a) At all times during the term of this Agreement, Manufacturer shall maintain a mutually agreed upon inventory level of critical raw materials (“Safety Stock”) required for Manufacturer to Manufacture and supply the Products for Alnylam based upon the then-current Forecast. [***]. In addition, Manufacturer will store the Safety Stock according to storage procedures mutually agreed upon by Manufacturer and Alnylam. [***], provided, however, that if at any time during the term of this Agreement the Safety Stock exceeds Manufacturer’s then- current storage capacity, any costs to obtain additional storage capacity will be funded by Alnylam at the actual cost incurred by Manufacturer to acquire such additional storage capacity from a third party. The levels of Safety Stock shall be adjusted after each calendar quarter based upon Alnylam’s Product requirements set forth in the then-current Forecast.

(b) Manufacturer shall invoice Alnylam, and Alnylam shall pay Manufacturer a deposit (the “Deposit”) in an amount equal to the [***] incurred by Manufacturer to acquire such raw materials that comprise the Safety Stock. In the event the then-current Forecast necessitates a Safety Stock level increase or if the Safety Stock levels need to be replenished following the use of a portion of such Safety Stock to Manufacture Product under this Agreement, Manufacturer will invoice Alnylam an additional amount to increase Alnylam’s Deposit so that it is at all times equal to the cost of the inventory of such Safety Stock. In the event the parties mutually agree to decrease the Safety Stock levels or upon Manufacturer’s use of a portion of the Safety Stock to Manufacturer Product pursuant to this Agreement, once such portion of Safety Stock has been consumed in the Manufacture of Product, Manufacturer will credit Alnylam’s account in an amount equivalent to the value of the raw materials that were consumed and such credit shall be applied against the next invoice sent by Manufacturer to Alnylam. All adjustments to Alnylam’s Deposit with Manufacturer will be done once per calendar quarterly and shall be memorialized in writing by Manufacturer with supporting documentation to be provided to Alnylam upon request.

(c) Manufacturer will use commercially reasonable efforts (which shall include, but shall not be limited to, working in good faith with Alnylam) to manage and use the Safety Stock in a manner that minimizes the risk that any amount of the Safety Stock expires before it can be used to Manufacture Product hereunder, including, but not limited to, using the Safety Stock on a first in, first out basis. In the event that any raw materials that comprise Safety Stock do expire without any fault on the part of Manufacturer, an amount equal to the value of such Safety Stock will be deducted from the Deposit for such Safety Stock and the expired material will be shipped to a destination of Alnylam’s choosing or disposed of by Manufacturer upon Alnylam’s direction.

(d) Manufacturer shall at all times retain title to the Safety Stock and assumes the risk of loss of any or all of such Safety Stock. In the event any or all of the Safety Stock is damaged or destroyed, Manufacturer shall [***].

4.7 Shipping. All shipment costs shall be paid by Alnylam and if prepaid by Manufacturer, the amount thereof shall be included on the relevant invoice to Alnylam, Any insurance as well as any taxes (other than taxes on Manufacturer’s income), duties or other official charges payable upon exportation is the responsibility of Alnylam.

4.8 Delays. Manufacturer will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid delay in delivering the Product to Alnylam or performing other Services for Alnylam pursuant to the date(s) specified in the SOW, provided, however, that Alnylam acknowledges that the stated Delivery Dates are approximate. Subject to Section 4.10, failure to deliver by any specified date in and of itself will not be sufficient cause for cancellation by Alnylam, nor will Manufacturer be liable for any indirect or consequential loss due to delay in delivery.

4.9 Shipping Information. Alnylam is responsible for supplying any and all shipping requirement information. For example, any special shipping temperature requirements, temperature monitoring, special packaging, and the like. Absent any special instructions from Alnylam, Products to be made and supplied to Alnylam hereunder will be packaged, labeled and shipped in Manufacturer’s standard shipping packages for such Products. Any and all damage to any Product is the sole responsibility of Alnylam and any failure to meet the Specifications due to the lack of special instructions or the providing of inappropriate instructions shall void all warranties and no discounts or refunds on the purchase price for such Products will be granted.

4.10 Cancellations and Delays.

(a) Cancellations. If Alnylam notifies Manufacturer of a Cancelled Batch, then each of Manufacturer and Alnylam will use commercially reasonable efforts to find a Replacement Batch for such Cancelled Batch by the Scheduled Manufacture Date of the Cancelled Batch and the following shall apply:

Upon cancellation of a Batch under Section 4.10(a)(i) or (ii), Manufacturer will [***].

(b) Alnylam Delays. If Alnylam anticipates a delay from a Scheduled Manufacture Date, Alnylam shall promptly so advise Manufacturer and Manufacturer shall, within [***] business days of being so notified, advise Alnylam of the impact such delay may have on Manufacturer. In the case of an Alnylam Delay, Alnylam shall pay Manufacturer the relevant amount as specified in the following table. Alnylam understands that Manufacturer cannot and does not make any guarantees as to when any such batch subject to an Alnylam Delay will be manufactured.


If Notification Date is:		Delay Fee Due
[***] days or more prior to Scheduled Manufacture Date		[***]
[*] days or more but less than [*] days prior to the Scheduled Manufacture Date		[***]% of Manufacture Fee for the delayed Batch

A dispute shall be referred to such Executive Officers upon one party providing the other party with written notice of referral of such Dispute to the Executive Officers. The parties agree to attempt to resolve such Dispute through good faith discussions. If the Executive Officers fail to come to consensus on such Dispute within twenty (20) days of receipt of such written notice then the parties shall submit to non-binding mediation. Any claim, controversy or dispute of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of or relating to this Agreement that is not settled by the parties in accordance with the dispute resolution provision of this Agreement will be settled by mediation to be conducted by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”). The mediation will be conducted by a single mediator engaged in the practice of law, who is knowledgeable about the subject matter of this Agreement and the matter in dispute. The mediation will be conducted in English in Denver, Colorado, such other place as the parties agree. The parties agree to bear the costs of mediation equally. Following mediation, either party may seek all available remedies, including legal remedies. Nothing herein will prohibit either party from initiating litigation or other judicial or administrative proceedings if such party would be irreparably harmed by a failure to act while the parties are attempting to resolve the dispute through negotiation or mediation.

No waiver of any term, provision or condition of this Agreement in any one or more instances will be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any other term, provision or condition of this Agreement. Any such waiver must be evidenced by an instrument in writing executed by an officer authorized to execute waivers.

COMMERCIAL SUPPLY AGREEMENT TERMS

1. Agilent and Alnylam Commitments. Prior to entering into any commercial supply agreement for a Product, the parties will review Alnylam’s anticipated commercial requirements for the Term (as such term is defined below) of any such commercial supply agreement. The commercial supply agreement will provide that Alnylam will inform Manufacturer of the portion of Alnylam’s projected Product commercial requirements that Alnylam needs Manufacturer to supply during [***] during the Term (the “Manufacturer Supply Requirement”); provided however, if the parties enter into a definitive commercial supply agreement, it will provide that Alnylam shall commit to purchase from Manufacturer at least [***] percent [***] (the “Minimum Purchase Obligation”) during the Term.

[***]

2. Forecast. For each calendar quarter during the Term, Alnylam will provide Manufacturer with a rolling forecasts of Alnylam’s anticipated commercial requirements for each Product for the succeeding [***] months. Each forecast shall be non-binding and for information and planning purposes only; provided however, that Alnylam shall be required to purchase the Minimum Purchase Obligation amount from Manufacturer for each [***] during the Term. Manufacturer will at all times reserve sufficient manufacturing capacity to ensure that it can supply Products in amounts up to [***]% of the Manufacturer Supply Requirement; provided however, Manufacturer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to supply Alnylam’s requirements for Products that exceed [***]% of the Manufacturer Supply Requirement. In the event Manufacturer shall at any time fail to reserve sufficient manufacturing capacity to meet it supply obligations as set forth above, Alnylam shall have the option to terminate the commercial supply agreement [***].

3. Pricing. Pricing for the Products under the commercial supply agreement will be negotiated in good faith by the parties prior to the execution of any definitive commercial supply agreement and will be included in the commercial supply agreement. Initial prices for the Products shall not exceed [***].

The parties shall work together in good faith to obtain efficiencies and cost savings in connection with the Manufacture of the Products. In the event such cost savings are actually achieved, such cost savings shall be [***].

4. Term; Termination. The commercial supply agreement for each Product will have an initial term that ends [***] years from the date of Alnylam’s first commercial sale of such Product (the “Term”). After the initial Term, the commercial supply agreement will renew for a period mutually agreed by the parties.

Either Party may terminate the commercial supply agreement at the end of the initial Term or during the renewal term provided, however, that Alnylam has given [***] months and Agilent has given at least [***] months, as the case may be, prior written notice of such termination.

In addition to the foregoing termination right, Alnylam shall have the right without penalty to terminate the commercial supply agreement and/or any SOW (i) immediately if Agilent fails to obtain or maintain any material governmental licenses or approvals required in connection with the Manufacture of the Product or receives a notice from a regulatory agency (including, without limitation, a warning letter from the FDA) that imposes a material restriction on the use or regulatory approval of any Product Manufactured within the facility; or (ii) upon [***] months’ [***].

Any definitive commercial supply agreement shall also contain other customary terms and conditions.
