WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, Aegerion and Sandoz are parties to a certain Contract Manufacturing Agreement in relation to Metreleptin SLD, dated as of September 30th 2010, as amended (the “Agreement”);

Section 14 of the Agreement (Duration) shall be replaced by the following wording:

 

Subject to the provisions for earlier termination contained herein, this Agreement shall come into force on the Effective Date hereof and shall continue in force until [***] (expiry date). The parties will by the end of [***] enter into discussions as to whether or not the term of the Agreement shall be further extended.

 

2.3. Termination – Notice Period:

 

The parties wish to clarify that Aegerion's right under clause 25(2) to terminate the Agreement for scientific, regulatory, safety or economic reasons is subject to an adequate notice period of 24 months.
