(b) In addition to any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to §6.1(a), if for causes beyond Amphastar's reasonable control (including market shortage, market embargo, etc.), Amphastar has incurred any price increase(s) in its aggregate material and service costs (such increased costs measured on a per gram basis of Product, the "Cost Excess") which are in excess of [***] percent ([***]%) of the Purchase Price in a given calendar year, then the Purchase Price for the next calendar year shall be increased by the percentage increase of the Cost Excess as compared to the aggregate costs for such materials and services during the prior calendar year.

 

(c) If Amphastar delivers any Product Purchase Commitment Quantities, as defined in the Firm Order Period through a Purchase Order accepted by Amphastar, beyond sixty (60) days after the committed delivery date, then such quantities shall be subject to a [***] percent ([***]%) discount off the Purchase Price.”

adversely affect Amphastar’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that Amphastar had notified MannKind on April 24, 2018 that Amphastar intends to qualify an alternate source of inclusion bodies. Both parties shall cooperate diligently and in good faith to obtain any and all necessary approvals for the alternate source of inclusion bodies.  MannKind agrees that Amphastar’s use of an alternate source of inclusion bodies does not change the Purchase Commitments agreed upon in the table of Section 6.1.”

3.5 Section 10.1 of the Agreement shall be extended until December 31, 2026.  All other terms and conditions in Section 10.1 shall remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of MannKind and Amphastar has caused this Fifth Amendment to be executed by their duly authorized officers.
