In the event of a delay in delivery of Components supplied by Baxter due to a failure by Baxter to comply with known vendor ordering lead times, if such delay causes Product delivery to Client after the Delivery Date pursuant to Section 4.4, Baxter shall compensate Client and pay, as liquidated damages, the applicable Late Delivery Fee as set forth in the Product Master Plan.

 

Article 5, PRICE

 

5.1           Product Purchase Price. The price to be paid by Client for the Product (“Purchase Price”) shall be set forth in the Product Master Plan.

[***] INDICATES CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION

 

7.1.1           If (a) any shipment of Product conforms to the Product Requirements, or (b) Client fails to notify Baxter in writing within the applicable time periods that any shipment of Product does not conform to the Product Requirements due to recognizable defects, then Client shall be deemed to have accepted the Product and waived its right to revoke acceptance.

 

7.1.2           If Client believes any shipment of Product does not conform to the Product Requirements, it shall notify Baxter by electronic message including a detailed explanation of the non-conformity and shall confirm such notice in writing via facsimile to Baxter. Upon receipt of such notice, Baxter will investigate such alleged non-conformity, and (i) if Baxter agrees such Product is non-conforming, Baxter and Client will mutually determine a corrective action plan within forty-five (45) calendar days after receipt of Client’s written notice of non-conformity, or such additional time as is reasonably required if such investigation or plan requires data from sources other than Client or Baxter, or (ii) if Baxter disagrees with Client’s determination that the shipment of Product is non-conforming, Baxter shall so notify Client by telephone within a forty-five (45) calendar day period and confirm such notice in writing by overnight delivery to Client.

 

7.1.3           If the Parties dispute whether a shipment of Product is conforming or non-conforming, the shipment of Product will be submitted to a mutually acceptable laboratory or consultant for resolution, whose determination of conformity or non-conformity, and the cause thereof of non-conformity, shall be binding upon the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client cannot release a Batch of Product that Baxter has rejected. The costs of such laboratory or consultant are to be borne by the Party whose determination was incorrect.

 

7.2         Remedies for Non-Conforming Product

 

7.2.1           In the event Baxter agrees that the shipment of Product is non-conforming in part as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Baxter or a laboratory or consultant determines that the shipment of Product is non-conforming in part as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Baxter, then Baxter, to the extent of its negligence or wilful misconduct, will (i) replace such non-conforming Product as soon as possible assuming sufficient Active and Excipient by Oasmia will be provided by Client in due time to carry out the Production, (ii) reimburse Client for its actual cost of the Active and Excipient by Oasmia for the replacement Product, which cost shall not exceed the Purchase Price of the non-conforming Batch of Product, and (iii) bear the costs of such laboratory or consultant, if applicable.

 

7.2.2           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, Baxter shall have no obligation to replace the non-conforming Product if the process provided by Client is not sufficient to produce conforming Product. Baxter agrees that a conclusion that Client-provided process is not sufficient to produce conforming Product cannot reasonably be made if such process has previously resulted in conforming Product at Baxter. Baxter is not responsible for defects that are caused by Components supplied by Client or upon instructions of the Client.

 

7.2.3           Production deviations and investigations which occur during Production of Product and which do not cause the Production to be non-compliant with cGMP or with Specifications shall not be deemed to cause such Product to be non-conforming.

 

7.3         Yield. Within thirty (30) calendar days from Baxter’s release of the final process validation batch, Oasmia and Baxter shall establish and mutually agree upon an appropriate number of units to be produced from the established volume of compounded bulk solution for Production of Product. The agreed upon number of units shall take into consideration losses of compounded bulk solution during Production of Product including without limitation loss in filter houses, and in-process-control samples to enable Baxter to manufacture a full scale batch (***) (the “Yield Rate”). Pre-defined Product samples such as e.g. release samples, stability samples, etc. shall also be considered in the yield calculation. The Yield Rate shall be further defined in the Product Master Plan. Process validation batches will not be included in determining the Yield Rate.

[***] INDICATES CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION

 

If the yield of a Batch is at or above the Yield Rate, or below the Yield Rate due to an act or omission of Baxter, the unit price for Product as set forth in the Product Master Plan will apply to the Units of Product in such Batch. If the yield of such Batch is below the Yield Rate due to a reason other than an act or omission of Baxter, then the price of the Product will be based off of a batch price calculated using the average Yield Rate for Batches of Product Produced during the prior twelve (12) months, excluding any process validation batches. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following the Production of the first five (5) commercial Batches the actual yield for such Batches is less than the expected Yield Rate, the parties shall meet to mutually agree upon an action plan which shall include a re-defining of the Yield Rate for the Production of future Batches

 

Variation in yield shall not be looked upon as non-conforming, as long as the variation is within the limits acceptable by GMP’s. For the avoidance of doubt any loss due to non-conforming Product shall be handled in accordance with Section 7.2.1; no loss will be compensated under more than one such section.

 

7.4           Remedies for Non-Conforming Process Validation Batches. Notwithstanding Section 7.2, in the event Baxter agrees that a process validation batch is non-conforming solely as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Baxter or a laboratory or consultant determines that a process validation batch is non-conforming solely as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Baxter, then Baxter shall (i) replace such non-conforming process validation batch as soon as possible assuming sufficient Active and Excipient by Oasmia will be provided by Oasmia (at Oasmia’s cost) and (ii) bear the costs of such laboratory or consultant, if applicable.

6Pricing and Production Schedule

 

6.1Purchase Price

 

BAXTER shall charge OASMIA for Product plus any occurring Value-Added Taxes (ready for shipment to a CMO in the US or EU, who will perform the secondary packaging/labelling). The price for the packaging per unit has to be determined if the product becomes a commercial one and in case the final packaging will be done by BAXTER.

 

This purchase price is based on the Scope of Proposal “Supply of Paclical for Injection, lyophilized vial”, dated July 8, 2010 in its third revision dated September 15, 2010.

 

A price as described in the tables below shall be charged for test runs, feasibility, registration, and validation batches. The price for the batches of feasibility, registration, and validation batches will be quoted per batch. After successful process validation with validated theoretical batch size of ***vials per batch, the price will be quoted as price per unit. OASMIA and BAXTER agreed to a unit price of *** Euro for a yield equal or greater ***. The yield methodology is outlined in chapter 7.

 

The final batch size will be determined upon the completion of test runs with the goal to reach a full load of a lyophilizer (***) and shall be set forth in the Product Master Plan. During the feasibility batches BAXTER will start with a compounding volume of approx. *** in order to ensure that the lyophilizer can be fully loaded. This compounding volume takes into consideration losses of compounded bulk solution during Production of Product including without limitation loss in filter houses, and in-process-control samples. After BAXTER has gained first experiences during the feasibility batches OASMIA and BAXTER will mutually agree on a compounding volume during validation batches that ensures a full load of the lyophilizer.

 

Test Runs – Compounding Test Run (without filling, without lyophilization)

 

Batch size   Number of batches   Price (per test run)
Up to ***   Under the assumptions of section 2.2 in the proposal, at minimum ***. More test runs may be needed if required to meet specifications.   ***

Further details are defined in the COMMERCIAL MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT.

 

6.10.1Late Delivery Fee

 

In the event of a delay in delivery of a BAXTER supplied Component due to a failure by BAXTER to comply with known vendor ordering lead times, if such delay causes Product delivery to OASMIA after the Delivery Date (as defined in the COMMERCIAL MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT), BAXTER shall pay OASMIA the applicable Late Delivery Fee as set forth below:

 

Delay in Product Delivery   Late Delivery Fee
If Product is delivered 1 to 10 days after the Delivery Date   ***from the Purchase Price of the Batch or the quantity of units not timely delivered.
If Product is delivered 11 to 20 days after the Delivery Date   ***from the Purchase Price of the Batch or the quantity of units not timely delivered.
If Product is delivered 21 to 30 days after the Delivery Date   ***from the Purchase Price of the Batch or the quantity of units not delivered. The total maximum Late Delivery Fee for a Batch of Product ***of the Batch Price or the quantity of units not timely delivered.

The storage time free of charge is determined in the COMMERCIAL MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT.

 

7Yield

 

7.1Yield Loss Percentage

 

The minimum yield target of Product to be delivered by BAXTER is aimed to be *** (the “Yield Rate”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, after successful process validation the parties will review the achieved yields during process validation and in the event the yield is less than ***, the parties will mutually agree upon a new target yield and unit price if necessary. In the event the parties mutually agree upon a lower yield target, this will become the new target “Yield Rate”.

 

7.2Yield Loss Percentage Methodology

 

The yield for each batch of product manufactured will be calculated using the following equation:

 

Yield (%) = (Actual Number of Units ·/· Theoretical Number of Units) x 100

 

where,

 

Actual Number of Units = the total number of units obtained from the lyophilization chamber. This reflects the actual number of vials that are directly obtained after unloading the lyophilization chamber. Samples including without limitation for release testing, stability studies and extra samples for other purposes shall account for the actual Number of Units.

 

Theoretical Number of Units = ***. This is the theoretical number of ***representing a full ***. In the beginning of the Paclical project BAXTER will start with a compounding volume of ***in order to ensure a full load of a lyophilizer. This compounding volume maybe adapted after the first batches when BAXTER has gained enough experience with regard to losses during compounding and filling.

 

If the yield of the produced batches is *** the methodology as described in the COMMERCIAL MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT shall be applied.

 

If manufacturing times, volumes, or processes should change in the future, the impact of those changes on the theoretical number of units will be evaluated with respect to batch yield calculations.
