Pursuant to the terms of the Industrialization Proposal, [***] partially financed the manufacturing capacity build-up through upfront payments as set out in the Industrialization Proposal.
1.2 | AMAG and Ypsomed will determine the required manufacturing capacity that Ypsomed will reserve for AMAG based on AMAG’s Long Range Forecast delivered by AMAG to Ypsomed in accordance with Section 7.1 of the Supply Agreement. It is agreed between the Parties that the applicable manufacturing capacity per calendar year (“Applicable Capacity”) will be determined in accordance with this Section 1.2. The initial Applicable Capacity is [***] Component Sets. The Applicable Capacity may be adjusted, from time to time upon either Party’s written request, based on the Long Range Forecast. In the event AMAG requests an increase in the Applicable Capacity that requires Ypsomed to invest in additional production infrastructure, such change shall be possible provided AMAG notifies Ypsomed at least [***] prior to such requested increase. In the event AMAG or Ypsomed in good faith requests a decrease in the Applicable Capacity, such change shall be possible provided that the Party requesting such decrease notifies the other Party at least [***] prior to such requested decrease. Each change of the Applicable Capacity shall be agreed upon by the Parties in good faith. In the event AMAG’s capacity demand according to the Long Range Forecast exceeds [***] Component Sets per calendar year, the parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms upon which Ypsomed will expand its manufacturing capacity to accommodate AMAG’s increased capacity demand. In the event AMAG’s capacity demand according to the Long Range Forecast exceeds [***] Component Sets per calendar year (i.e., a commitment for Applicable Capacity above [***] but not more than [***] Component Sets) AMAG shall pay Ypsomed a capacity contribution fee of [***]) as follows upon receipt of an invoice from Ypsomed: |

For the purpose of determining whether AMAG is in compliance with Section 4.8 of the Agreement, a Component Set is considered “purchased” as of the agreed Delivery Date in the respective Purchase Order, provided however that such ordered Component Sets will have been duly purchased and paid by AMAG (during such calendar year or, as applicable, at a later stage in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).
Units | Minimum Purchase Quantity |
Per Purchase Order | [***] (the “Minimum Batch Size”) |
Initial Term | [***] Component Sets per each calendar year during the Initial Term beginning in [***] (the “Annual Minimum Quantity”) |
Subsequent Term(s) | The Annual Minimum Quantity for the Subsequent Term(s) shall be determined and mutually agreed upon by the Parties prior to the end of the Initial Term or of each Subsequent Term, as applicable. If the Parties cannot agree on the Annual Minimum Quantity for a Subsequent Term prior to beginning of such Subsequent Term, AMAG shall be obligated to purchase, in each calendar year during the Subsequent Term, no less than the Annual Minimum Quantity for the last full calendar year |

[***] | [***] |
[***] | [***] |
[***] | [***] |
The Purchase Price includes the costs for bulk packaging (bulk packaging as set out in Appendix 2).
The effective Unit Price per Component Set shall be determined based on the total number of Component Sets ordered by AMAG for the respective calendar year accordance with Section 7.3, provided however that such ordered Component Sets will have been duly purchased and paid by AMAG (during such calendar year or, as applicable, at a later stage in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).
Accordingly, within [***] after the end of each calendar year during the Term, Ypsomed shall calculate the total amount of ordered Component Sets duly purchased and paid by AMAG and shall perform a “True-Up” reconciliation and shall provide AMAG with a written report of such reconciliation. If the True-Up report shows that a difference in the number of Component Sets purchased by AMAG compared to the pricing tier serving as basis for the invoiced Purchase Price in such calendar year results in either an underpayment or an
overpayment between the Parties, the Party owing payment to the other Party shall pay the amount of the difference to the other Party within [***] of the date of delivery of such True-Up report.
