3. PURCHASE ORDERS AND PRICE AND SELLER AS A SOLE SOURCE SUBCONTRACTOR

a. Forecast. At approximately six (6) months prior to the anticipated date of FDA approval of the APC-5000 DPI x 2 Product, Buyer shall furnish Seller with an initial twelve (12) month rolling Forecast. On the first day of each month thereafter, Buyer shall furnish Seller with an updated twelve (12) month rolling Forecast. Should Buyer fail to provide monthly updates to the Forecast as required above, then the most recent Forecast furnished by Buyer shall auto roll by deleting the first month and adding a new twelfth (12) month with zero (0) quantity in the new twelfth month.

b. Binding and Non-Binding Forecasts. Quantities of Product and/or Finished Device in the first three (3) months of the Forecast are not cancelable and constitute Buyer’s binding obligation to purchase such items. The last nine (9) months of the Forecast are non-binding with respect to Product or Finished Device being purchased. Buyer, in its sole discretion, may cancel or reschedule any scheduled deliveries in the last nine (9) months of the current forecast. Notwithstanding Buyer’s right to cancel or reschedule in the last nine (9) months of the current Forecast, Buyer acknowledges that Seller will rely upon the Forecasts in scheduling work, and in committing to purchase Long Lead Material, NCNR material, and/or Minimum Buy material, and Buyer shall be liable for the related liabilities and expenses that Seller necessarily incurs to ensure fulfillment of the Forecast.

c. Purchase Orders. Concurrent with each monthly update of the Forecast, Buyer shall issue Purchase Order(s) for new binding obligations not covered by previous Purchase Orders, which Purchase Orders shall include: the Product or Finished Device, quantity, Specifications, Delivery Date (which shall be in accordance with the applicable Lead Time), Delivery Location and Price.

d. THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL EXHIBITS ATTACHED HERETO SHALL BE CONTROLLING AND ANYINCONSISTENT TERMS OR CONDITIONS ON ANY PURCHASE ORDER, SALES ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENTATION GIVEN OR

5

RECEIVED BETWEEN THE PARTIES SHALL HAVE NO EFFECT AND SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED AND EXCLUDED.

e. Price. The Price for Product and/or Finished Device is shown in either the applicable Statement of Work or Exhibit C.  Notwithstanding, the Parties recognize the cost of the materials may become volatile beyond Seller’s reasonable control, and the Parties agree that should the cost of any material(s) on the Product’s xxxx-of-material vary by more than plus or minus five percent (5%), the Price will be adjusted to reflect changes in production costs. Documentation will be made available upon request to substantiate increases in price due to material cost increases. At or prior to the anniversary of the Effective Date, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to establish new Prices for the coming year. In the event that the Parties are unable to agree upon new Prices, Seller shall provide Buyer with its documentation and information regarding its price structure (i.e. open book pricing), and Seller shall be entitled to a substantially similar margin or profit structure as compared to that which is in existence as of the commercial launch of production (as evidenced by Seller’s verifiable documentation). Notwithstanding, commencing two (2) years after the commercial launch of production, and re-occurring in subsequent two (2) year intervals thereafter (at the anniversary of each two year period), Buyer shall have the right to benchmark Seller’s Price against those of third parties, taking into consideration similar volumes, geographical locations and scope of Manufacturing Activities.  The information learned in any benchmarking exercises shall be considered in good faith by the Parties and factored into the on-going good faith price negotiations.  

f. Delays. Seller shall: (i) promptly notify Buyer, in writing, about any and all material delays; (ii) promptly discuss any such delays with Buyer; and (iii) work with Buyer to mitigate such delays.

g. Payment Terms.  Payment terms are net thirty (30) days from the date of Seller’s invoice.

h.   Seller as the Sole Source Subcontractor.  Commencing on the Effective Date of this Agreement, and continuing for a period of five (5) years from the date of commercial launch of the APC-5000 DPI x 2 Product: (i) neither Buyer nor its Affiliates, or their successors in interest whether by sale, merger, reorganization, change in control or otherwise (collectively the “Restricted Parties”), shall source, purchase, buy or otherwise receive or have manufactured the Taperhaler Product (providing the Seller has not committed a Material Breach of the Agreement), or any next generations or spin-offs of this Product or substantially similar products (collectively the “Single Source Product(s)”), from a party other than Seller or its successors in interest, on a direct or indirect basis, including through the utilization of third party contractors, partners or agents (collectively the “Restriction”), and (ii) subject to the terms and conditions herein, Seller, and/or its successors in interest, have, and are hereby granted, for the term of the Restriction, the exclusive right to be the sole source physical manufacturer of the Single Source Products on a global worldwide basis.  

6

For the avoidance of doubt, the Restriction shall apply to and prevent the Restricted Parties from manufacturing or producing the Single Source Products itself and/or other forms of in-sourcing.  The Restriction shall also apply to and prevent the Restricted Parties from selling, licensing or otherwise providing its pharmaceutical product or technology to a third party and then having the third party manufacture or use the Single Source Products.  The above referenced Restriction is irrevocable but may be terminated early only if: (i) Seller terminates this Agreement or a SOW early for Seller’s convenience pursuant to Section 8(b); or (ii) pursuant to a written amendment to this Agreement, executed by both Parties hereto, expressly terminating all or a portion of the Restriction; or (iii) Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8(b) because of Seller’s Material Breach. In the event that this Agreement or SOW is terminated pursuant to Seller’s uncured Material Breach as set forth in Section 8(b), Seller hereby agrees to execute the aforementioned amendment terminating the Restriction, or applicable part thereof.  The Restriction may be terminated in whole or in part, dependent upon what SOWs the applicable parties elect to terminate as the case may be.  Each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach of the above paragraph may cause the other Party irreparable harm to which breach of contract or monetary damages may be inadequate.  Accordingly, the harmed party shall be entitled to, without waiving any other rights or remedies, injunctive or equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to remedy any threatened or actual breach of this Agreement.

12. LIMITED WARRANTY

a. Limited Product Warranty:  For a period of twelve (12) months from the time of delivery, Seller warrants that the Products shall be manufactured in accordance with the Specifications and be free from defects in materials and workmanship.  In the event that a Product fails to comply with this limited product warranty, Seller shall either: repair, replace, or refund the Purchase Price (including transportation cost) of the non-conforming Product returned to Seller.

c. Limited Tooling Warranty:  The Tooling supplied hereunder (if any) shall be free from defects in material and workmanship and shall be capable of producing the number of units, shots or cycles set forth in the Proposal attached hereto (i.e. the “useful life” of the Tool); provided, the Tooling is made, operated and maintained by Seller at Seller’s facility.  In the event that a Tool fails to comply with the limited tooling warranty stated above, Seller shall either: repair, replace, or refund the purchase price (including transportation cost) of the non-conforming Tool. Once a Tool has produced the number of units, shots or cycles set in the Proposal and is past its useful life, all maintenance, repairs, upkeep and modifications to the Tool shall be at Buyer’s sole expense, except for routine cleaning and maintenance. Long before the end of a tools useful life, Buyer and Seller will negotiate an appropriate strategy

12

to insure that product meeting all specifications can be achieved. A cost schedule of maintenance, expected repairs and upkeep will be provided to Buyer in advance.
