-9-

 

*CONFIDENTIAL


commencement of a Suite Use Period Alexion shall notify LB in writing of its “Forecast Order” for number of Batches it intends to order for such Suite Use Period. The Forecast Order shall be for a number of Batches that is no fewer than a Minimum Order and no greater than a Maximum Order, and shall be Alexion’s best estimate of its ultimate order under Section 5.2. The projected commencement date may be revised by LB upon written notice thereof to Alexion.

 

5.2. Binding Order. Not later than [*****] months before the projected commencement date of a Suite Use Period, Alexion shall notify LB in writing of the actual number of Batches it is ordering for manufacture during such Suite Use Period, which number shall be no fewer than a Minimum Order and no greater than a Maximum Order. A “Binding Order” shall arise upon LB’s receipt of such notice and LB shall be committed to supply the Services during the associated Suite Use Period (subject to the terms hereof) and Alexion shall be committed to pay for that number of Batches, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If thereafter LB revises its projected commencement date under Section 5.1 by more than [*****] months, Alexion will be provided [*****] in which to revise its Binding Order. LB shall reserve sufficient time in the Large-Scale Manufacturing Suite to satisfy such Binding Order, based on an [*****]% Batch success rate for the Large-Scale Process in Suite Use Period 1B and in the second Suite Use Period, and a [*****]% Batch success rate for the Large-Scale Process thereafter.

 

6. Provision of the Services.

 

6.1. Diligence. LB shall diligently carry out the Services as required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

6.2. Scheduling of Suite Use Periods. The Consistency Suite Use Period shall Commence on such date as may be consistent with LB’s other contractual obligations to third Parties but in any event not later than [*****] after the Suite Use Commencement Date. Suite Use Period 1B and the second Suite Use Period shall commence on such date as may be consistent with LB’s other contractual obligations to third parties and as the Parties may mutually agree to, but in any event such Suite Use Period 1B shall not Commence earlier than [*****] from the final fill associated with the last Batch of the Consistency Suite Use Period and the second Suite Use Period shall not Commence earlier than [*****] months, and not later than [*****] months, after Commencement of the Consistency Suite Use Period. The third and later Suite Use Periods shall each Commence within [*****] months prior to or following the anniversary of the second Suite Use Period. The actual Commencement date of each such Suite Use Period shall be established through consultations between LB and Alexion, taking account of, among other things, Alexion’s production forecasts, LB’s contractual obligations to third parties and the maintenance requirements of the Large-Scale Manufacturing Suite. Subject to the foregoing, the final decision on scheduling each Suite Use Period shall be at LB’s sole discretion. The projected commencement dates referred to in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 are subject to the timing requirements of this Section 6.2.

 

6.3. [*****] Batches. The Parties acknowledge that in order for the [*****] Batches to be Delivered hereunder, they must satisfy the [*****]. The Parties agree that in the event of failure of one or more runs of the Large-Scale Process to produce a [*****] Batch which is suitable for Delivery, then LB shall continue to conduct runs of the Large-Scale Process until a sufficient number of [*****]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that LB has conducted the number of runs of the Large-Scale Process that is equal to [*****] and in the event that the

 

-10-

 

*CONFIDENTIAL


requisite number of successful [*****] Batches has not then been produced, then within [*****] of the completion of the last run of the Large-Scale Process the Steering Committee shall meet to review the results of the [*****] Batches. If the Parties mutually agree to not proceed with additional [*****] Batches then this Agreement shall automatically terminate and the provisions of Section 18.5 shall apply. If Alexion requests LB to continue with [*****] Batches then LB shall be obligated to produce additional [*****] Batches up to the number equal to the Maximum Order, provided however, that in the event that LB has conducted the number of runs of the Large-Scale Process that is equal to [*****] or more the number of [*****] and in the event that the requisite number of successful [*****] Batches has not then been produced, then Alexion shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the provisions of Section 18.5 shall apply. The Parties further agree that the Price for undelivered [*****] Batches shall be as set forth in Section 13.10.

 

6.4. Supply Deficiencies. If LB fails to produce the number of Batches at least equal to the number specified in the relevant Binding Order during its associated Suite Use Period then, the difference between the number of Batches Delivered for such Suite Use Period and the number specified in such Binding Order shall constitute a “Supply Deficiency” for the purposes of this Agreement.

 

6.5. Procedure to Cure Supply Deficiencies. If there is a Supply Deficiency, LB shall increase the then current Suite Use Period (or if no longer current, then the next succeeding Suite Use Period if not remedied beforehand) by [*****] and take one or more of the following steps to remedy any remaining Supply Deficiency, as determined by the Steering Committee:

 

  6.5.1.   Utilize any capacity of the Large-Scale Manufacturing Suite which is not then committed to the performance of the Services or to performance of services for third party customers;

 

  6.5.2.   Utilize suitable production capacity (i.e., fully validated for production of Batches of the Large-Scale Product in accordance with this Agreement) of LB or its Affiliates (other than the Large-Scale Manufacturing Suite) not then committed to third party customers; and

 

  6.5.3.   Co-ordinate and co-operate with Alexion, through the Steering Committee, to re-schedule Batches of Large-Scale Product ordered hereunder in order to maximize LB’s ability to rectify the Supply Deficiency while minimizing the disruption to any Binding Order then in force and any commitments to third party customers.

 

6.6. Pro Rata Allocation.

13.7. Raw Materials Fee. The Raw Materials Fee shall be equal to the actual third party costs to LB of the Raw Materials for use in the Large-Scale Process, plus a handling charge of [*****] percent ([*****]%) of such costs. LB shall provide copies of Raw Material invoices to

 

-18-

 

*CONFIDENTIAL


Alexion and shall use reasonable endeavors to purchase Raw Materials at a fair market price. LB shall maintain records pertaining to the calculation of the Raw Materials Fee. Alexion may audit such records, not more often than [*****] in any calendar year, using independent auditors, provided such auditors have accepted the same obligations of confidentiality as Alexion hereunder in respect of such records. In the event that the independent auditor determines that the Raw Materials Fee invoiced by LB is more than 105% of the amount actually owed to LB for the period that is subject to the audit, the costs of such audit shall be reimbursed by LB.

 

13.8. Payment of Raw Materials Fee. LB shall invoice Alexion for the Raw Materials Fee in respect to all consumable Raw Materials to be used for the production of each Batch of Large-Scale Product upon [*****]. LB will invoice Alexion for the Raw Materials Fee in respect to reusable Raw Materials, including but not limited to, which are purchased for use in performing the Large-Scale Process to produce more than one Batch at [*****]. In the event of damage or destruction of any such reusable Raw Material as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of LB, LB will be responsible for the remaining value of such Raw Material. For example, if the Large-Scale Process requires column matrices which can be used for one hundred (100) Batches but which, due to the negligence or willful misconduct of LB, are damaged or destroyed after being used for sixty (60) Batches, LB shall be responsible for forty percent (40%) of the cost of replacing such column matrices as a credit against the Raw Materials Fee. For purposes of determining the Parties’ share of the cost for replacing reusable Raw Materials as set forth in this Section 13.8, the Steering Committee shall from time to time determine the anticipated life of such Raw Materials. At the end of each Suite Use Period LB shall review the records of Raw Materials consumed during the performance of the Large-Scale Process and shall within 60 days of the end of such Suite Use Period provide Alexion with an accounting of any adjustments, either increases or decreases, to the Raw Materials Fee based upon actual usage of Raw Materials for the Batches produced. In the event that the total Raw Materials Fee for a Suite Use Period is greater than the amount already invoiced by LB, then Alexion shall pay to LB such amount due within thirty days of receipt of the accounting and an invoice therefore. In the event that the total Raw Materials Fee for a Suite Use Period is less than the amount already invoiced, then LB shall refund to Alexion the sum equal to such amount within thirty (30) days following receipt by Alexion of such accounting.

 

13.9. Price for Undelivered Large-Scale Product. Subject to Section 13.10 below, no Batch Price shall be payable in respect of Services that do not result in Delivery of a Batch of Large-Scale Product. Alexion shall pay (a) for the avoidance of doubt the Raw Material Fee for all of the Batches actually Delivered, plus (b) the Raw Materials Fee in respect of the following runs of Large-Scale Process which do not result in the delivery of Large-Scale Product:

 

[*****]% of the number of Batches ordered pursuant to a Binding Order in; and

 

[*****]% of the number of Batches ordered pursuant to a Binding Order in the.

 

By way of example:

 

In the Suite Use Period, if the Binding Order is for [*****] Batches Alexion shall pay the Raw Materials Fee for each Batch actually Delivered, plus up to [*****] additional Batches run either during such Suite Use Period or in order to remedy any resulting Supply Deficiency

 

-19-

 

*CONFIDENTIAL


(so Alexion would at most pay the Raw Materials Fee for [*****] Batches).

 

The value of any such Batch Price or Raw Materials Fee (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the pro rata portion of any prepaid reusable Raw Materials) which proves to be not payable by Alexion, shall be credited to Alexion against future payment obligations if Alexion shall have actually already paid such Batch Price (or part thereof) or Raw Materials Fee to LB.

 

13.10. [*****]. In respect of each [*****] which is manufactured by LB but not Delivered to Alexion, or that otherwise does not satisfy the Specifications, Alexion shall pay [*****]% of the Batch Price plus [*****]% of the Raw Materials Fee [*****]; provided, however, that Alexion shall not pay such amounts in respect of Batches that are not Delivered or do not satisfy the Specifications due to the breach, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of LB, and provided further that the Batch Price invoiced for any Consistency Batch that is not Delivered due to a failure of the Batch in a reactor prior to the first seed reactor of the Fermenter Train shall be [*****] thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that LB has conducted a number of runs of the Large-Scale Process that is equal to [*****] of Consistency Batches required by the U.S. FDA and in the event that pursuant to Section 6.3 Alexion requests LB to conduct additional runs of the Large-Scale Process, then Alexion shall pay [*****]% of the Batch Price plus [*****]% of the Raw Materials Fee [*****] in respect of each additional [*****] which is manufactured by LB but not Delivered to Alexion, or that otherwise does not satisfy the Specifications; provided, however, that Alexion shall not pay such amounts in respect of Batches that are not Delivered or do not satisfy the Specifications due to the breach, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of LB, and provided further that the Batch Price invoiced for any [*****] Batch that is not Delivered due to a failure of the Batch in a reactor [*****]

 

13.11. Taxes. Unless otherwise indicated in writing by LB, all prices and charges are exclusive of any other taxes, levies, imposts, duties and fees of whatever nature imposed by or under the authority of any government or public authority in respect of the Services and delivery of Large-Scale Product (other than taxes on LB’s income), which shall be paid by Alexion.

 

13.12. Invoices. All invoices are strictly net and payment must be made within [*****] days of date of invoice. LB may defer production of further Batches if timely payment of outstanding invoices is not made within [*****] days of a second written demand (i.e., a written demand issued after failure to settle an invoice which invoice shall count as the first written demand) for payment to Alexion. If either Party disputes the validity of any item or part of an item included in an invoice, the matter may be referred to the Steering Committee who shall resolve such dispute and may determine whether pending resolution an extension of time for payment of such disputed item is appropriate.

 

13.13. Interest on Late Payments. Interest on late payments of invoices and other amounts from time to time owed by either Party to the other hereunder shall accrue at the rate of [*****] percent ([*****]%) above the U.S. prime rate from time to time as quoted in The Wall Street Journal.

 

13.14. Unutilized Credits. LB shall immediately reimburse to Alexion the amount of any credits owed to Alexion hereunder that remain outstanding for more than three months (and in any event shall be reimbursed to Alexion immediately upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason).

-24-

 

*CONFIDENTIAL
