AMENDED AND RESTATED

EUROPEAN PRODUCT SALES AGREEMENT (PHASE 1)

This AMENDED AND RESTATED EUROPEAN PRODUCT SALES AGREEMENT (PHASE 1) (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of April 1, 2007 (“Effective Date”), by and between Talecris Biotherapeutics, GmbH, (“Talecris GmbH”) of Frankfurt, Germany and Bayer Biologicals S.r.l., Xxxxx Xxxxxxx 000, Xxxxx, Xxxxx, Companies Register C.C.I.A.A. Milano n 1717/97 (“Xxxxx,” along with Talecris GmbH, the “Parties”). This Agreement, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Article 13 of this Agreement, will expire on December 31, 2008.

WHEREAS, as part of Talecris Biotherapeutics Inc.’s (“Talecris Inc.”) purchase of the designated assets of Bayer HealthCare LLC, Xxxxx agreed to continue to purchase, import, test, package and distribution in Europe certain final container Products that were originally manufactured, processed and tested by Talecris Inc. at the Clayton, North Carolina facility (“Clayton Facility”) (the “Xxxxx I Agreement”).

WHEREAS, after April 2007 it was anticipated that Talecris Inc. would have an affiliate in Europe who would become the authorized importer and manufacturer of the Finished Products and Xxxxx would then enter a new agreement wherein its role was to be limited to certain packaging, labeling and distribution services only (the “Xxxxx XX Agreement”);

WHEREAS, on January 2006, Talecris GmbH was established but the conditions necessary for implementation of the Xxxxx XX Agreement were nevertheless not met and as a consequence the Parties wish to extend the terms of the Xxxxx I Agreement with some modifications including the replacement of Talecris Inc. with Talecris GmbH to account for Talecris GmbH’s new responsibility for the importation and distribution of Finished Products in Europe; and

WHEREAS, Xxxxx has agreed to extend the terms of the Xxxxx I Agreement with some modifications including the replacement of Talecris Inc. with Talecris GmbH to account for Talecris GmbH’s new responsibility for the importation and distribution of Finished Products in Europe; and

WHEREAS, it is understood by the Parties that Talecris GmbH shall be responsible for the performance obligations of Talecris Inc. hereunder.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties do hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
PURCHASE AND SALE

1.1 General. In accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Talecris GmbH shall deliver in a form ready for testing and packaging biological Products set forth in Exhibit 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (“Contractual Products”)

to Xxxxx who shall purcahse such Contractual Products and perform such testing and packaging and release as necessary to permit the resale back to Talecris GmbH as released Finished Products for final distribution in Europe as set forth in Exhibit 2 (“Finished Products,” collectively with Contractual Products, “Products”). Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2 may be amended from time to time by mutual written agreement of the Parties to reflect additional Products developed by Talecris Inc. during the Term that the Parties desire to become Contractual Products or Finished Products as applicable.

1.2 Xxxxxxx Facility. Talecris GmbH shall not ship any Contractual Products manufactured from any location other than the Xxxxxxx Facility, including without limitation, any other facility under the same manufacturing license as the Xxxxxxx Facility, without the prior written consent of Xxxxx based on the registration documents, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Talecris GmbH shall ensure that Talecris Inc. maintains the manufacturing authorizations contemplated by Section 7.1 to manufacture the Contractual Products at the Xxxxxxx Facility. Talecris GmbH shall notify Xxxxx immediately of any limitation imposed on its manufacturing authorizations for the Contractual Products.

1.3 Contact Person. Talecris GmbH and Xxxxx shall appoint those persons listed in Exhibit 4, as may be amended from time to time, as contact persons for all technical questions. Exhibit 4 also lists the Qualified Person as the responsible person of Xxxxx, in accordance with ED directive 91/356, article 52 and Italian Law 219/06, and the Qualified Person of Talecris GmbH responsible person for the importation in accordance with the applicable German law, as each may be amended from time to time, and any successor thereto. All changes and amendments to Exhibit 4 shall be made in writing, giving sufficient advance notice to the other Party under the circumstances.

1.4 Cooperation of the Parties. In order to ensure supply and timely delivery, Talecris GmbH shall inform Xxxxx immediately of any problems that may prevent Talecris GmbH from providing timely deliveries of the Contractual Products and the Parties shall cooperate in resolving such problems relating to the manufacture and supply of the Contractual Products under this Agreement. In recognition of the fact that Rosia’s business is dynamic and evolving based on market demand, regulatory approvals and other factors, Talecris GmbH shall in good faith, but subject to the terms of this Agreement, use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to accommodate any reasonable request by Xxxxx to manufacture quantities of the Contractual Products in excess of Talecris GmbH’s obligations hereunder; provided, however, Talecris GmbH shall have no liability for any failure to accommodate such request despite such efforts. The Parties shall use commercially reasonably efforts to make temporary changes to the amount of Contractual Products purchased and sold hereunder in order to accommodate maintenance turnarounds at the Xxxxxxx Facility and unanticipated manufacturing constraints and market commitments. For purposes of clarification, this Section 1.4 does not expand or diminish the Parties’ obligations to supply and purchase, as applicable, the Contractual Products in accordance with the Binding Forecast set forth in Section 3.1.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Talecris GmbH may assign this Agreement and any or all rights or obligations hereunder to (i) any affiliate of Talecris GmbH, (ii) any lender of Talecris GmbH as collateral security or (iii) any successor in interest to Talecris GmbH’s entire line of business to which the Agreement pertains provided that any such successor becomes a party to this Agreement; provided that no assignment under (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall relieve Talecris GmbH from any obligation hereunder. Xxxxx may assign this Agreement and any or all rights or obligations hereunder to (i) any affiliate of Xxxxx; or (ii) any successor in interest to the entire business conducted by Xxxxx under this Agreement provided that any such successor becomes a party to this Agreement; provided that no assignment under (i) or (ii) above shall relieve Xxxxx from any obligation hereunder. Any purported assignment in contravention of this Section 16.2 shall be void. For the avoidance of doubt, and provided that it complies with all of the relevant provisions of this Agreement, Xxxxx may perform its obligations hereunder at any Xxxxx facility approved for such activities by the applicable regulatory authorities.

16.3 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is or may become prohibited or unenforceable, as a matter of law or regulation, will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability and shall not invalidate the remaining provisions. The Parties agree to replace an invalid provision with a provision that is as close as possible to the intended economic effect of the Agreement and which meets legal requirements hereof if the essential purposes of this Agreement may be given effect despite the prohibition or unenforceability of the affected provision.

16.4 Waiver Each of the Parties shall have the right at all times to enforce the provisions of this Agreement in strict accordance with the terms hereof notwithstanding any conduct or custom on its part in refraining from doing so at any time. The failure of either Party at any time to enforce its rights hereunder strictly in accordance with the same shall not be construed as having created a custom contrary to the specific provisions hereof or as having in any way modified or waived the same.

16.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits, constitutes the whole and entire agreement between the Parties with respect to this subject matter and supersedes all prior understandings, written or oral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Talecris GmbH and Xxxxx have entered into that certain Manufacture Under Contract Agreement. In the event that this Agreement conflicts with any Exhibit hereto, the Manufacture Under Contract Agreement, Purchase Order, invoice, or other written documents, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply. No amendment or modifications hereof shall be binding unless in writing and duly executed by authorized representatives of both Parties.

16.6 Survival. In the event of any termination of this Agreement, the provisions of Articles 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 and 15, and Sections 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 5.1, 5.4, 5.6, 5.7, 6.3(i), 6.3(ii), 7.1, 7.3, 7.4, 13.5, 13.6, 13.7, 16.1, 16.3, 16.4, 16.5, 16.6, 16.8, 16.9, 16.10,

16.12, 16.13 and 16.14 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement in full force and effect indefinitely, unless a shorter period of survival is provided therein.

16.7 Force Majeure. For the purpose of this Agreement, “Force Majeure” shall mean only (i) acts of God, acts of the public enemy, insurrections, riots, sabotage, strike, work-stoppage or other labor dispute and natural disasters; (ii) explosions, fires, flood, damage, or loss of electric power not resulting from the negligence of the Party invoking Force Majeure; (iii) regulatory actions not attributable to any violation of law after the date hereof on the part of Talecris GmbH or Xxxxx, as the case may be, unless, in the case of Talecris GmbH, Talecris GmbH is required as a result of any statute, law, regulation, ordinance, rule, judgment, code, order, decree or other requirement of a Regulatory Authority (“Applicable Law”), not initiated by Talecris GmbH, to cease or materially curtail production primarily based upon (x) violation of any Applicable Law which violation was in existence on the Effective Date or (y) any condition in existence on the Effective Date or any condition alleged in writing to have been in existence on or prior to the Effective Date by a Regulatory Authority which condition remained outstanding on the Effective Date and which condition constituted a violation or alleged violation of Applicable Law or impacts the safety or efficacy of the Contractual Products; and (iv) events, circumstances, conditions and actions outside of the control of Talecris GmbH or Xxxxx that materially and adversely affect the plasma-derived Products industry generally, including interruptions of supply of raw plasma due to viral outbreaks, eruption of new viruses and similar events, that are reasonably likely to be subject to action by any Regulatory Authority; any of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of which, in the case of the Talecris GmbH, prevents Talecris GmbH from performing its obligations under this Agreement, or any of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of which, in the case of Xxxxx, prevents Talecris GmbH from performing its obligations under this Agreement, provided that nothing in clause (iii) or (iv) shall excuse Talecris GmbH from complying with cGMP or excuse Talecris GmbH from remedying those matters which were capable of remedy by Talecris GmbH through the application of commercially reasonable efforts prior to the occurrence of the events identified in (iii) or (iv) preventing Talecris GmbH from performing under the Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except Article 10 and Article 16, the Party experiencing the Force Majeure shall be excused from the performance of each of its obligations under this Agreement upon a Force Majeure, but only to the extent performance of any such obligation is necessarily prevented, hindered or delayed thereby and only during the continuance of any such Force Majeure, and shall have no liability for damages arising from non-performance of any obligation excused by a Force Majeure. The Party suffering such Force Majeure shall invoke this provision by promptly notifying the other Party in writing of the nature and estimated duration of the suspension period, as well as the extent to which it will be unable to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement. Each Party shall be relieved of performance of its obligations under this Agreement during the time when it is prevented from performing by the failure of the other Party to perform its obligations or because of any event of Force Majeure.

16.8 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and if mailed by prepaid first class mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, at any time other than during a general discontinuance of postal service due to strike, lockout or otherwise, shall be deemed to have been received on the earlier of the date shown on the receipt or three (3) business days after the postmarked

16.10 Dispute Resolution.

(i) Resolution by the Parties. The Parties shall attempt to resolve any dispute, controversy, claim or difference arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement amicably and promptly by negotiations between executives who have authority to settle the controversy. Either Party may give the other Party written notice of any dispute not

resolved in the normal course of business (“Notice of Dispute”). Within seven (7) days after delivery of such Notice of Dispute, executives of the Party shall agree to meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the dispute. If the matter has not been resolved within ten (10) days of the first meeting of such executives (or if the Parties are unable to mutually agree upon an acceptable time and place to meet, within ten (10) days of the disputing Party’s Notice of Dispute), either Party may, by notice to the other Party (“Dispute Escalation Notice”), refer the matter to the respective officers of the Parties designated below.

Xxxx officers shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the matter in an amicable manner within ten (10) days of the Dispute Escalation Notice. In the event the matter is not resolved within such ten (10) days, either party may initiate arbitration of the dispute as provided for in this Section 16.10.

(ii) In any event, if the dispute, other than with respect to Article 10, is not resolved in accordance with this Section 16.10, within thirty (30) days of the date in which such dispute arose, either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration by giving the other Party notice (the “Arbitration Notice”). Such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce in effect as of the Effective Date (the “Rules”). The arbitration shall take place in a location which is mutually agreeable to the Parties and shall be held in the English language. The arbitration will be conducted by one (1) arbitrator knowledgeable in the subject matter that is at issue in the dispute and who is selected by mutual agreement of the Parties or, failing such agreement by thirty (30) days after the Arbitration Notice was given, will be selected according to the Rules. Either Party reserves the right to object to any individual arbitrator who shall be employed by or affiliated with a competing organization. The arbitrator shall render a decision no later than ninety (90) days from the date of such arbitrator’s selection. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both Parties. Each Party hereby submits itself to the jurisdiction of the courts of the place where arbitration is held, but only for the entry of judgment with respect to the decision of the arbitrator hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, judgment upon the award may be entered in any court in the state where the arbitration takes place, or any court having jurisdiction over the Parties. In the event of any actual or threatened breach or default which could give rise to irreparable harm, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent either Party from seeking injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy or equitable relief) from any court having jurisdiction over the Parties and the subject matter

of this dispute to protect their respective rights pending the outcome of the arbitration. The Parties bind themselves to carry out the awards of the arbitrator. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator, the fees and expenses of the court report and any expense for a hearing room, and reasonable attorney’s fees may be awarded to the prevailing party by the arbitrator, or if such award is not made, will be shared equally by the Parties. The Parties will otherwise bear their respective expenses of arbitration.

16.11 Independent Contractor. This Agreement does not create an employer-employee relationship between the Parties, and is not an agency, joint venture or partnership. Neither Party shall have the authority to act for the other or to bind the other in any way, nor to sign the name or to represent that the other is in any way responsible for the acts of omissions of the other. Xxxxx shall maintain its status as an independent contractor engaged in the selling of the Finished Products to Talecris GmbH.

16.12 English Language. In the event that this Agreement is translated to any language other than English, this English version of this Agreement shall prevail.

16.13 Set-Off. No party to this Agreement shall have any right of set-off with respect to amounts it has an obligation to pay hereunder.

16.14 Defined Terms. Defined terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to those terms in the Contribution Agreement.
