Provisions for a Commercial Supply

confidential

1.	Provisions for a commercial supply

(to be negotiated between the parties; based on current process assumptions)

1)	Term of Supply Agreement:

Minimum of 5 years after the later of (i) first product launch or (ii) delivery of Drug Product from first [***] commercial GMP run under condition of supply agreement.

2)	Basic production assumptions:

[***]

3)	Maximum Contract Capacity:

The reservation of contract capacity needed is subject for further discussion and has to be committed by Elan and BIP when the Parties intend to conclude a commercial supply agreement. As an assumption for the proposal a capacity request of [***] runs at [***] has been considered. (Subject for further discussion)

4)	Minimum Contract Purchase Obligation:

The annual minimum purchase obligation during commercial supply term shall be an amount of [***] bulk drug substance which will be comparable to approx. [***] runs considering the above stated production assumptions (minimum purchase obligation to be agreed upon).

5)	Final Product:

On Elan’s request BIP will also offer contract services to manufacture Final Product, including sterile liquid filling in vial or syringe, inspection, manufacturer’s release and bulk packaging (unlabeled vials/syringes in a labeled container).

The manufacturing of Finished Product which includes labeling and packaging has to be discussed separately.

6)	Price Formula Bulk Drug Substance:

Price estimate for Bulk Drug Substance is based on the basic production assumptions and the total amount of product ordered per year within the range of the agreed upon capacity reservation.

Based on the basic production assumption (see section 2 above) and on the assumption of a capacity request for min. [***] (equivalent to [***] runs at [***] scale) a commercial supply price at [***] per gram Bulk Drug Substance could be expected.

The commercial supply price does include all raw materials, and services including analytical testing and manufacturer’s release.

Minimum starts of a single campaign should be at least 5 runs.

The commercial product price would be valid until the end of 2012 and may be increased by BIP at the beginning of a calendar year (for the first time effective January 01, 2013) by [***] percent per year.

confidential

If the basic production assumptions change during the term of the transfer agreement and / or after scale-up of the process to commercial scale [***], the price for Drug Substance will be recalculated for commercial supply on the basis of the actual basic production assumptions of the [***] conformance lots for process validation and regulatory filing.

7)	Price Formula Drug Product:

For price calculation for Drug Product the following assumptions have been made which have to be confirmed by Elan:


Drug Product:		Liquid Vial
Vial size:		[***]
Concentration:		[***]
Fill volume:		[***]
Dose per vial:		[***]
Batch Size:		[***]

Based on the assumptions as set forth above a commercial supply price of Euro [***] per vial for sterile liquid filling services can be offered.

The commercial supply price does include inspection, primary packaging material and manufacturer’s release testing of filled vials. The price does not include active ingredient. In addition a filling loss of [***] has to be considered.

On request of Elan services for secondary packaging have to be discussed separately.

8)	Rolling Forecast:

Drug Substance:

[***] prior to the first delivery date of product under the Supply Agreement, Elan shall provide to BIP a rolling forecast for the next [***].

[***]

Drug Product:

[***] prior to the first delivery date of Drug Product under the Supply Agreement, Elan shall provide to BIP a rolling forecast for the next [***].

1.	Cell Line Development

Boehringer Ingelheim’s proprietary high expression system (BI HEX^®) enables fast-track generation of high-producer cell lines leading to high-titer processes for production of therapeutic proteins from CHO cells, thus shortening the time-to-clinic. BI HEX^® represents an integrated platform which combines state-of-the-art technologies including BIP proprietary expression vectors for stable and high-level product expression, a fast-track cell line generation concept entirely free of serum and a generic screening platform including BIP media and feed compositions. Early assessment of cell line stability and initial characterization of product quality according to our paradigm “Do it right the first time” are key to our success.
