Article 2
Manufacturing and Supply
Section 2.1 Manufacturing Services.
(a) General. Fresenius Kabi will, during the term of this Agreement, manufacture Manufactured Products for Cerus on the terms set forth below all in accordance with the Product Specifications (collectively, the “Manufacturing Services”) in a professional and efficient manner and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Quality Agreement.
(b) Product Specifications for Platelet and Plasma Sets. As of the Effective Date, the Product Specifications for the Platelet Sets and Plasma Sets are listed on Exhibit A and Exhibit B, respectively, to this Agreement. The Product Specification for the RBC Sets shall be subsequently added by amendment hereto and set forth on Exhibit C.
(c) Business Continuity Plan. On or prior to December 1st of each calendar year during the Term, Fresenius Kabi shall provide Cerus with a report on manufacturing capacity at the Facility for the following [ * ] based on the “optimistic” and “base case” forecasts provided by Cerus pursuant to Section 2.4, and a business continuity plan setting forth its ability to provide Manufactured Products during the remainder of the Term (collectively, the “Business Continuity Plan”). The Business Continuity Plan effective as of the Effective Date has been provided to Cerus concurrently herewith.
Section 2.2 Change Requests.
(a) Product Specifications; Device Master Record. In the event that Cerus requests any changes to a Product Specification (including, without limitation, the addition of new product codes or changes made to comply with any requirement, order or instructions by any Regulatory Authority), Fresenius Kabi will perform and complete such requests in a timely fashion. Fresenius Kabi will not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval to any requests of Cerus to change Product Specifications.

The parties acknowledge certain changes are caused by third-party suppliers (“Third Party Changes) and are thus outside the scope of Fresenius Kabi’s control. Fresenius Kabi shall give Cerus at least [ * ] days’ notice of any such Third Party Changes, provided such third party gave sufficient notice to Fresenius Kabi. If, due to circumstances beyond Fresenius Kabi’s control, Fresenius Kabi is required to qualify a new third-party supplier, it will so notify Cerus and the Parties will confer on the determination of and terms of agreement with such new third-party supplier. Except for such changes as may be contemplated by the Funded Projects set forth on Exhibit F, the terms of which are governed by Section 6.1, allocation of costs for such changes is further described in Section 4.4(a).

Subject to Article 6, allocation of costs for such changes shall be allocated in accordance with Section 4.4(b).
(c) Changes in Manufacturing Location. The Fresenius Kabi facility in La Châtre, France shall be the primary manufacturing site and product development support center for the Manufactured Products (the “Facility”). Fresenius Kabi will not make any change in its manufacturing location without Cerus’ prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and, in any event, will not change any location until the new location is fully-qualified and licensed with each applicable Party’s regulatory group for the manufacture of the Manufactured Products for sale or clinical testing. Changes in manufacturing location include changes in manufacturing location for raw materials, components, subassemblies, or finished goods; changes in location or subcontractor for sterilization processes; and changes in chemical and physical facilities.

The transfer pricing for Manufactured Products manufactured at such Second Facility shall be subject to mutual agreement by the Parties based on good faith discussions, taking into account Fresenius Kabi’s costs and cost savings, the effects of any efficiencies realized as a result, any amortization of capital equipment costs incurred and contemplated by Section 4.4(c) hereof, and such other factors as may be reasonably relevant; provided, however, in no event shall such prices exceed those as set forth on Exhibit D-1. Allocation of costs for any such changes is further described in Section 4.4(c).
(d) U.S. FDA Compliance. Upon Cerus’ written request, Fresenius Kabi agrees to review and modify, as may be necessary, and maintain its existing manufacturing facilities and quality systems to be compliant with FDA quality system requirements (“QSRs”) and cGMP. In the event of a modification to meet QSRs, cGMP and standards applicable to the United States, Europe or APAC Countries (if applicable), Fresenius Kabi will review and modify its existing manufacturing facilities in agreement with Cerus. Allocation of costs for such changes is further described in Section 4.4(d).

Section 4.1 Compensation for Manufacturing Services.
(a) Transfer Pricing for Sets. The [ * ] transfer price at which the Sets will be invoiced to Cerus (the “Transfer Price”) for the Current Pricing Term shall be determined based upon the [ * ]. The Transfer Price [ * ] is set forth on Exhibit D-1 and includes the “Cerus Transfer Price” for the Cerus-Supplied Materials as set forth in Exhibit D-2.
(b) Transfer Pricing for Cerus-Supplied Materials. Cerus shall invoice Fresenius Kabi for the Cerus-Supplied Materials at the “Cerus Discounted Transfer Price” for the applicable contract year, as set forth in Exhibit D-2, which amount includes a discount equal to a conversion loss allowance of [ * ]% for the Current Pricing Term. For the Remainder Term, the conversion loss allowance will be reduced to reflect a reduced allowance mutually agreed upon by the Parties during the Negotiation Period based on the Conversion Loss Reduction Plan (as defined in Section 4.2(b)). Cerus may, in its sole discretion, amend the Cerus Transfer Price as shown on Exhibit D-2 during the Term of this Agreement, which amendment shall result in an automatic corresponding adjustment to the Cerus Discounted Transfer Price and the Transfer Price for Platelet Sets and/or Plasma Sets, as applicable, to reflect the impact of such amendment.

(c) Transfer Pricing for New Manufactured Products. The initial transfer price for the RBC Sets, or any Components or New Product to be manufactured and supplied by Fresenius Kabi that is not manufactured and supplied by Fresenius Kabi to Cerus as of the Effective Date, shall be negotiated in good faith by the Parties and shall be set at an amount equal to [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) of the Cost of Goods for the applicable product (the “New Product Transfer Price”); provided however, that the pricing for Intersol Solution shall be in accordance with Section 18 of the Commercialization Agreement. Such New Product Transfer Price shall be fixed for a period of [ * ] years. Thereafter, adjustments to the New Product Transfer Price of such product shall be done in accordance with Sections 4.1(d) and (e) below. Further, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith discounted transfer pricing for such Components or New Products based on [ * ] consistent with the [ * ] set forth on Exhibit D-1. In order to verify the Cost of Goods comprising the New Product Transfer Price pursuant to this Section 4.1(c), Fresenius Kabi shall provide to Cerus a written report of the calculation of the Cost of Goods for the applicable product at least [ * ] days prior to the commencing manufacture of such Components or New Products, as applicable. Cerus shall have the right to cause an independent, certified public accounting firm selected from among the “Big 4” nationally recognized accounting firms, or such other firm of national standing that is reasonably acceptable to Fresenius Kabi to audit Fresenius Kabi’ records relating to the Cost of Goods for such product to confirm the amount of the costs and expenses reflected in such report. The accounting firm shall be obligated to keep in strict confidence his findings also vis-à-vis Cerus and will inform Cerus and Fresenius Kabi only about whether or not the calculation of the applicable New Product Transfer Price has been correct and the amount, if any, of the deviation from the charged New Product Transfer Price. Cerus shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an over-charging by Fresenius Kabi of [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) or more, in which event Fresenius Kabi shall bear the costs of such audit.
(d) Pricing Negotiation for New Pricing Terms. Pricing discussions with respect to the Transfer Price to be in effect for each calendar year beginning with [ * ] through the remainder of the Initial Term (the “Remainder Term”) shall begin no later than [ * ], and the parties shall negotiate the new Transfer Price for such Remainder Term in good faith, which new Transfer Price shall take effect beginning [ * ].
