3.4 Forecasting And Savient-supplied Materials
(a) Upon execution of this Agreement and on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter, Savient shall deliver to Enzon’s account manager an updated rolling forecast of Product requirements (in full-batch quantities) for the twenty four (24) month period commencing on the first day of the immediately following calendar month. Enzon shall, within ten (10) days of receipt of a forecast from Savient, confirm its receipt thereof in writing and shall advise Savient of whether such forecast is accepted in whole or in part; in the event that any part of the forecast is not accepted by Enzon then Enzon shall detail in writing the rationale for such non-acceptance. Within thirty (30) days of accepting each forecast, Enzon will provide Savient a projected manufacturing schedule indicating approximate dates of manufacturing which shall conform with the delivery dates specified in the forecast supplied by Savient. The foregoing notwithstanding, once a forecast (or any portion thereof) has been accepted by Enzon it shall be binding on both parties except as otherwise may be explicity set forth herein; in the event that Enzon neither accepts or rejects any forecast submitted by Savient within ten (10) days of receipt from Savient then the entire forecast as submitted by Savient shall be deemed accepted by Enzon. If accepted, the forecast for the first six (6) calendar months of each forecast (“Firm Forecast”) shall be 100% binding on both parties and the forecast for the next twelve (12) calendar months (“Planning Forecast”) shall be binding on both parties as set forth in the
Execution Copy
Page 5 of 44
following sentence. Product requirements within the Planning Forecast shall not be increased or decreased by Savient by more than one (1) batch per three month period, per forecast, provided that no month may be reduced to zero (0) batches unless the initial Planning Forecast for that particular month was initially set as one or zero batches; for purposes of clarification only, the parties agree that the intention of this provision is to allow Savient, in each subsequent forecast, to modify each three month period of the most recently supplied Planning Forecast by one (1) batch as follows: the first three month period of the most recently provided Planning Forecast (which becomes the final three month period of the Firm Forecast) may be modified by one batch, the second three month period of the Planning Forecast may be modified by one batch, the third three month period of the most recently provided Planning Forecast may be modified by one batch and the fourth three month period of the most recently provided Planning Forecast may be modified by one batch. Savient shall forecast Product requirements for the six (6) months following the Planning Forecast, and the forecast for those six months are non-binding (“Non-Binding Forecast”) on Savient. Savient shall place firm purchase orders for its requirement of the Product in full-batch quantities at least ninety (90) days prior to the requested date of delivery. Each firm written purchase order, signed by Savient’s duly authorized representative, shall authorize Enzon to manufacture the number of batches of the Product as are set forth therein. The number of purchase orders submitted by Savient shall not exceed one (1) per calendar month, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing. Enzon shall have completed any and all activities which are required by the applicable Work Plan and all Applicable Laws so as to be able to deliver the Product on or before the delivery dates specified by Savient in the subject purchase order but in any event the Product shall not be delivered by Enzon more than one (1) month in advance of any specified delivery date. Provided, however, that Enzon shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to minimize the amount of time elapsing between the completion of manufacturing activities and delivery of the completed Product to Savient.
(b) Starting from inception of the manufacture of the Product, Savient shall supply to Enzon, and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that Enzon has on hand, a sufficient stock of Savient-supplied Materials as is necessary to provide the Services. Enzon shall have no liability for any failure to supply Product to Savient in accordance with the delivery terms contained in a Savient purchase order if sufficient quantities of Savient-supplied Materials in light of the forecasting described above have not been supplied to Enzon at least four (4) weeks prior to the scheduled manufacture date, as communicated to Savient pursuant to Section 3.4(a) . In such case, manufacture of Product may be delayed until receipt of adequate supplies of Savient-supplied Materials and the availability of an appropriate manufacturing slot; provided, however, that Enzon shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to schedule the manufacture of the Product as soon as is possible subsequent to receiving the Savient-supplied Materials. If Savient provides Enzon with insufficient Savient-supplied Materials to produce the amount of Product requested in a particular purchase order, both sides may nonetheless agree in writing to have Enzon produce a lesser amount based on the amount of Savient-supplied Materials provided to Enzon, and all such batches shall be subject to the pricing listed in Exhibit C, including the minimum batch price, if applicable. Provided, however, that the Parties agree that any shortfall on the part of Enzon to produce at least ten thousand five hundred (10,500) vials of Product when provided with at least fifteen kilograms (15kg) of Bulk Product by Savient shall
Execution Copy
Page 6 of 44
not constitute a breach of this Agreement and that the the pricing for such shortfall below ten thousand five hundred (10,500 vials) shall be computed as set forth in Section 6.2(e) herein. Additionally, in the event that any scheduled manufacture of the Product is delayed due to the unavailability of adequate stores of Savient-supplied Materials, then any Firm Forecast then in effect shall be carried forward until such a time as the manufacture and delivery of the Product in accordance with the most recently supplied firm purchase order have been completed. Savient shall be responsible for verifying that all Savient-supplied Materials meet relevant Specifications. Title to Savient-supplied Materials shall not be transferred to Enzon. Savient will provide a signed, abbreviated Certificate of Analysis (“CofA”) which shall, at minimum, certify that Savient-supplied Materials meet the Specifications for such Savient-supplied Materials as defined on Exhibit B prior to the processing of Savient-supplied Materials by Enzon. Enzon shall store all Savient-supplied Materials and finished Product in accordance with instructions provided by Savient in the Quality Agreement.
(c) All costs associated with the selection and/or qualification of alternative suppliers for any materials required to perform the Services shall be borne by Savient. Any such activities will be defined by Savient in writing an accompanied by an appropriate purchase order to Enzon.
(d) Upon execution of this Agreement and along with every quarterly forecast, Savient shall pay Enzon a rolling, non-refundable reservation fee equal to 25% of the minimum batch (specified on Exhibit C) price for batches included in the Firm Forecast to secure manufacturing capacity slots corresponding to the forecast provided. Savient shall pay such reservation fee to Enzon within ten (10) days of Enzon’s provision to Savient of the manufacturing schedule, as set forth in Section 3.4(a), which schedule sets forth the approximate dates of manufacturing for the Product. Such reservation fee shall be credited towards Product produced by Enzon on a batch-by-batch basis in a prorated amount. Additionally, upon payment of the reservation fee by Savient, Enzon warrants that manufacture of the Product shall occur on or before the dates specified in the manufacturing schedule which conforms to the Firm Forecast for which the reservation fee is paid. Upon shipment of each completed batch, Enzon will invoice Savient at a rate equivalent to the applicable unit price multiplied by the total number of vials produced less the applicable portion of any reservation fees paid. No less than two weeks prior to each quarterly update of the Firm Forecast, Enzon and Savient will reconcile the invoices against the above-mentioned reservation fee. In the event that Savient cancels any batch within the Firm Forecast, Enzon will charge Savient, and Savient agrees to pay to Enzon, a cancellation fee as set forth in the following sentence. For each batch canceled by Savient, Savient will pay Enzon an amount equal to the minimum batch price set forth on Exhibit C (less nineteen thousand eight hundred ninety dollars ($19,890) representing unused Process Consumables and Manufacturing Components), which amount shall represent liquidated damages resulting from unused manufacturing capacity. In the event that Savient postpones the manufacture of any batch scheduled during the Firm Forecast period for a period of more than thirty (30) days, then Enzon will charge Savient, and Savient agrees to pay to Enzon, a postponement fee as set forth in the following sentence. For each batch postponed by Savient, Savient will pay Enzon an amount equal to the minimum batch price set forth on Exhibit C (less nineteen thousand eight hundred ninety dollars ($19,890) representing unused Process Consumables and Manufacturing
Execution Copy
Page 7 of 44
Components) which amount shall represent liquidated damages resulting from unused manufacturing capacity. Only with respect to batches which are postponed beyond the Firm Forecast, Savient will remit to Enzon the amount drawn within 30 days, and that amount will be credited back to the reservation fee. Enzon will draw the cancellation and postponement fee amounts described above from the amounts previously remitted to Enzon as reservation fees. In the event that any amounts owing to Enzon pursuant to this Section exceed the amounts previously remitted to Enzon as reservation fees, Enzon shall submit an invoice to Savient for the difference and Savient shall submit payment for such invoiced amounts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 4. COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES
4.1 As compensation for rendering the Services hereunder, Savient shall pay Enzon the amounts specified in Exhibit C and any subsequent additional Work Plans executed in writing by both parties. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the attached Work Plan or any subsequent additional Work Plan, all payments by Savient shall be made within thirty (30) days of the date of its receipt of the appropriate invoice from Enzon. Enzon will charge a late payment fee of 11⁄2% per month, or the maximum amount permitted by law if less than 11⁄2% per month, for any payment not received within thirty (30) days of the date of Savient’s receipt of the appropriate invoice from Enzon. Failure to invoice for interest due shall not be a waiver of Enzon’s right to charge interest. Savient will pay any sales, use, gross receipts or other taxes, licenses, or fees (excluding tax based on Enzon’s net income) required to be paid by Enzon to any state or tax jurisdiction in connection with the Services performed hereunder.

Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx 00000
4.3 Enzon will adjust prices not more often than annually, commencing on January 1, 2010, based on normal and customary increases in costs, not greater than the pharmaceutical Producer Price Index (as published by Bureau of Labor Statistics, Industry Code 325412). Additionally, Enzon may revise the prices provided in an attached Work Plan either upward or downward with Savient’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, if (i) any information which the parties reasonably agree is material to the performance of the Services proves to be incomplete or inaccurate (including but not limited to a material reduction in volume or a material change in prices of Enzon’s raw materials), (ii) Savient revises Enzon’s manufacturing or packaging responsibilities, procedures, or assumptions in a way that would impact the cost of the Services, or (iii) unforeseen circumstances, which both parties reasonably agree were unforeseeable at the time of contracting and which are not directly attributable to Enzon, affect the activities required to complete the Work Plan. Enzon will notify Savient
Execution Copy
Page 8 of 44
immediately if the costs to complete Services materially differ, either positively or negatively, from the prices stated in the attached Work Plan. Enzon will not commence work involving charges in excess of those stated in the attached Work Plan without Savient’s written approval unless such advance notice was not possible due to the circumstances. Savient shall be responsible for all non-cancelable costs incurred by Enzon as a direct result of any change order or other variation in Services requested by Savient, including but not limited to, inventory rendered unusable under the Work Plan; provided, however, that Enzon shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to minimize any non-cancelable costs contemplated herein including, but not limited to, by maintaining on hand only such Manufacture Components which are reasonably required to manufacture such quantities of Product as are specified in the Firm Forecast.
4.4 Savient’s failure to pay for the amounts due under this Agreement (including but not limited to payments under 3.4(d)) shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. Savient shall have 45 days from Enzon’s written notice to cure such breach; provided, however, that Savient’s failure to pay any amounts otherwise owing hereunder due to a good faith dispute relating to such amounts shall not constitute a material breach only with respect to such amounts. Upon the expiration of the stated cure period, Enzon shall have the right to suspend any Services under this Agreement. Any batch cancellations resulting from such actions will be billed to Savient in accordance with Section 3.4(d) .

7.2 Termination. Subsequent to the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date of this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time by giving at least twenty-four (24) months prior written notice to the other party as follows: either party may give notice to the other party thirty (30) days prior to every such anniversary date. During the 24-month period between the notice of termination and the effectiveness of such termination, the Parties shall continue to cooperate with each other in good faith to effectuate the purpose of this Agreement; specifically, and without limitation, Savient may place, and Enzon shall accept and fulfill, forecasts and purchase orders for the manufacture of Product, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. During the pendency of the effective date of the termination notice, Savient shall not reduce the final six (6) months of any previously submitted forecast to zero (0) batches except if Enzon is the party which is terminating this Agreement. For the purposes of clarification only, the prohibition contained in the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply where the final six (6) months of the most recently supplied forecast were identified as having zero (0) batches at the time that the notice of termination was provided. Except as provided for herein, if, at any time subsequent to the tendering of a notice of termination pursuant to the terms herein, Savient reduces any of the final six months of the forecast to zero (0) batches, Savient shall pay Enzon a termination fee of $55,000 per batch. Enzon shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to minimize the incurrence of any additional charges, fees or expenses which will not be utilized in the manufacture of the Product on behalf of Savient prior to the effective date of termination of this Agreement. Within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the termination of this Agreement, Enzon shall provide to Savient any case reports, analyses and other deliverables which were prepared by Enzon, if any, prior to the date of termination and Enzon shall also provide Savient with a written itemized statement of all Services performed by it hereunder and all costs incurred or for which Enzon is obligated. In the event of termination pursuant to this Section 7.2, Enzon shall be entitled to full payment for the Services actually rendered by it hereunder and all non-cancelable costs incurred through the date of termination. In addition to the foregoing, if Savient terminates this Agreement or any Work Plan pursuant to this Section 7.2, Savient shall pay any cancellation or postponement amounts set forth in Section 3.4(d); provided, however, that Enzon shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate any such cancellation or postponement amounts by scheduling, to the extent practicable, additional third party manufacturing activities, with any such mitigation accruing to the benefit of Savient and proportionately reducing any cancellation or postponement amounts otherwise owing. If the amount already paid by Savient to Enzon exceeds such amounts payable hereunder, Enzon shall refund such excess to Savient and if such amounts payable are greater than the amounts already paid by Savient to Enzon, then Savient shall pay the amount of such shortfall to Enzon.
7.3 This Agreement may also be terminated by either party upon material default in performance of the other party, provided that any defaulting party shall be given not less than ninety (90) days’ prior written notice of default and the opportunity to cure the default during such period. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.3, Enzon shall be entitled to full payment for the services provided by it hereunder (as set forth in any Work Plan(s) made a part hereof) and all costs incurred through the date of termination or for which Enzon is obligated as of the date of termination; provided, however, that if Savient terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.3 then, anything to the contrary notwithstanding,
Commercial Supply Agreement
Execution Copy
Page 13 of 44
Enzon shall be entitled only to payment for such Services which it actually rendered on behalf of Savient through the effective date of termination. In addition to the foregoing, if Enzon terminates this Agreement or any Work Plan pursuant to this Section 7.3, Savient shall pay any applicable cancellation or postponement amounts set forth in Section 3.4(d); provided, however, that Enzon shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate any such cancellation or postponement amounts by scheduling, to the extent practicable, additional third party manufacturing activities, with any such mitigation accruing to the benefit of Savient and proportionately reducing any cancellation or postponement amounts otherwise owing. If the amount previously paid by Savient exceeds such amount payable hereunder, the excess shall be refunded to Savient and if such amounts payable are greater than the amounts already paid by Savient to Enzon, then Savient shall pay the amount of such shortfall to Enzon.
7.4 In the event that Savient’s BLA for the Product is not approved by the FDA, and where such disapproval is final or otherwise not appealed by Savient, then either Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Agreement upon the provision of thirty (30) days notice to the other Party. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.4, Savient shall pay Enzon for packaging and labeling materials, any unpaid amounts for manufactured batches, and any reservation fees or other applicable cancellation or termination fees, provided that Enzon shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate such fees.
7.5 In the event that Savient’s BLA for the Product has not been approved by April 2009, then this Agreement shall continue in force and effect but any deliverables and obligations of the parties shall be held in abeyance for up to 18 months so as to allow Savient to address any findings in such approvable letter issued by the FDA and resubmit the subject BLA. Savient shall pay any cancellation or postponement amounts set forth in Section 3; provided, however, that Enzon shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate any such postponement amounts by scheduling, to the extent practicable, additional third party manufacturing activities, with any such mitigation accruing to the benefit of Savient and proportionately reducing any cancellation or postponement amounts otherwise owing. Savient shall provide to Enzon notice of its receipt of an approvable letter from the FDA within five (5) business days of its receipt of same. After said 18 months lapses, Enzon shall have the right to terminate this agreement immediately and with no penalty, and Savient shall pay all applicable cancellation and postponement amounts as set forth .
7.6 This Agreement may be terminated immediately, upon written notice, upon either party’s bankruptcy (voluntary or involuntary), insolvency, or placing of either party’s business in the hands of a receiver.
7.7 Survival. The rights and obligations of each Party which by their nature survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement, including Sections 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, and 15 (to the extent relevant). In addition, Enzon hereby acknowledges that neither expiration nor termination of this Agreement shall affect in any manner Savient’s right to manufacture and sell, or have manufactured and sold, the Product.

9.2 For the duration of the Agreement and five (5) years thereafter with respect to Savient Confidential Information, or in the case of MVP Confidential Information, for twenty (20) years from the Effective Date of the Agreement, Enzon will not use such Confidential Information except in connection with the performance of Services under the Agreement or any other Agreement between Savient and Enzon related to Savient’s PEGylated uricase (Puricase®/pegloticase) product and in particular represents and warrants that it will not utilize such Confidential Information in the manufacturing of any other product.
9.3 For twenty (20) years from the Effective Date of the Agreement, Savient will not disclose, without Enzon’s written permission, any Confidential Information belonging to Enzon which is provided to Savient by Enzon during the Term of the Agreement (“Enzon Confidential Information”) unless such disclosure: (i) is to an affiliate, agent, employee or consultant of Savient that is under a similar obligation to keep such information confidential; (ii) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of Savient; (iii) is disclosed by a third party entitled to disclose it; (iv) is already known to Savient as shown by its prior written records; or, (v) is required by any law, rule, regulation, order decision, decree, subpoena or other legal process to be disclosed or in response to a request or order from a regulatory agency. If such disclosure is requested by a regulatory agency or legal process, Savient will make all reasonable efforts to notify Enzon of this request promptly prior to any disclosure to permit Enzon to oppose such disclosure by appropriate legal action. Savient shall use reasonable precautions to protect the confidentiality of Enzon Confidential Information in a manner that is comparable to precautions taken to protect its own proprietary information.
9.4 If either Party shall be obliged to provide testimony or records pertaining to the Confidential Information provided by the other in any legal or administrative proceeding, then the Party which supplied the Confidential Information shall reimburse the other Party for its out-

Section 10. INSURANCE

11.2 Without limiting Savient’s rights under law or in equity, Enzon agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Savient and its employees, directors and agents from and against any loss, damage, cost and expense (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with any claims, proceedings or investigations arising out of or in connection with (a) this Agreement and the Product produced and the Services rendered hereunder to the extent that such claim, proceeding or investigation is based on the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Enzon or its employees, (b) any breach of Section 9.2 of this Agreement with respect to MVP Confidential Information, (c) any breach of the representations made by Enzon in the Letter Agreement between Enzon and Savient dated September 12, 2007, attached hereto as Exhibit E; but in any case only to the extent attributable to Enzon.

In addition to this payment, if due to Enzon’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of this Agreement, Enzon will re-perform the Services as provided in Section 6.2(a) .
11.5 SECTION 11.4 IS SAVIENT’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY LOSSES OF SAVIENT-SUPPLIED MATERIAL AS A RESULT OF PRODUCT THAT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE SPECIFICATIONS OR THE OTHER REQUIREMENTS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

The Party affected by the Force Majeure shall provide notice to the other of the commencement and termination of the Force Majeure. Should a Force Majeure continue for more than three (3) months, the Party unaffected by the Force Majeure may terminate this Agreement upon prior written notice to the affected Party. If the Force Majeure equally affects the ability of each Party to perform under this Agreement, then such termination shall only be by mutual written agreement.

Dear Xx. Xxxxxx:
Pursuant to Section 13,01 of the Agreement, Savient and Enzon hereby agree to amend the Agreement by repealing Section 4: Confidentiality and replacing it as follows:
“4.01: For the duration of the Agreement and five (5) years thereafter with respect to Savient Confidential Information (as defined below), or, in the case of MVP Confidential Information (as defined below), for twenty (20) years from the Effective Date of the Agreement, Enzon will not disclose, without Savient’s written permission, any such Savient Confidential Information or MVP Confidential Information, unless such disclosure: (i) is to an affiliate, agent, employee or consultant of Enzon that is under a similar obligation to keep such information confidential and such disclosure is reasonably necessary for the performance of the Services contemplated herein; (ii) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of Enzon; (iii) is disclosed by a third party entitled to disclose it; (iv) is already known to Enzon as shown by its prior written records; or, (v) is required by any law, rule, regulation, order decision, decree, subpoena or other legal process to be disclosed or in response to a request or order from a regulatory agency. If such disclosure is requested by a regulatory agency or legal process, Enzon will make all reasonable efforts to notify Savient of this request promptly prior to any disclosure to permit Savient to oppose such disclosure by appropriate legal action. Enzon shall use reasonable precautions to protect the confidentiality of both Savient Confidential Information and MVP Confidential Information in a manner that is comparable to precautions taken to protect its own proprietary information. As used herein, “MVP Confidential Information” means any Confidential Information that Savient provides, or has provided, to Enzon which is specifically identified in writing as containing Mountain View Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s proprietary technology for the manufacture of PEGylated uricase
Cont.../…

4.02 For the duration of the Agreement and five (5) years thereafter with respect to Savient Confidential Information, or in the case of MVP Confidential Information, for twenty (20) years from the Effective Date of the Agreement, Enzon will not use such Confidential Information except in connection with the performance of Services under the Agreement or any other Agreement between Savient and Enzon related to Savient’s PEGylated uricase (Puricase®/pegloticase) product and in particular represents and warrants that it will not utilize such Confidential Information in the manufacturing of any other product.
4.03 For twenty (20) years from the Effective Date of the Agreement, Savient will not disclose, without Enzon’s written permission, any Confidential Information belonging to Enzon which is provided to Savient by Enzon during the Term of the Agreement (“Enzon Confidential Information”) unless such disclosure: (i) is to an affiliate, agent, employee or consultant of Savient that is under a similar obligation to keep such information confidential; (ii) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of Savient; (iii) is disclosed by a third party entitled to disclose it; (iv) is already known to Savient as shown by its prior written records; or, (v) is required by any law, rule, regulation, order decision, decree, subpoena or other legal process to be disclosed or in response to a request or order from a regulatory agency. If such disclosure is requested by a regulatory agency or legal process, Savient will make all reasonable efforts to notify Enzon of this request promptly prior to any disclosure to permit Enzon to oppose such disclosure by appropriate legal action. Savient shall use reasonable precautions to protect the confidentiality of Enzon Confidential Information in a manner that is comparable to precautions taken to protect its own proprietary information.
| 4.04 | If either Party shall be obliged to provide testimony or records pertaining to the Confidential Information provided by the other in any legal or administrative proceeding, then the Party which supplied the Confidential Information shall reimburse the other Party for its out-of-pocket costs therefore plus an hourly fee for its employees or representatives equal to the internal fully burdened costs of such employee or representative. |
Cont.../…
4.05. For both Parties, “Confidential Information” shall mean and include, without limitation, such types of information as: inventions, methods, plans, processes, specifications, characteristics, raw data, analyses, equipment design, trade secrets, costs, marketing, sales, and product performance information, including patents and patent applications, grant applications, notes, and memoranda, whether in writing or presented, stored or maintained electronically, magnetically or by other means, which are disclosed by the disclosing Party to the recipient Party in writing or in other tangible form and marked “confidential” or, if disclosed orally (or in some other non-tangible form), are identified as confidential to the recipient Party in writing within sixty (60) days of such disclosure; provided, however, that failure to reduce any verbal disclosure to writing shall not, in and of itself, vitiate the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and provided, further, that for the purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall include any and all such information exchanged between the Parties prior to the effective date of this Agreement pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement between the Parties dated July 24, 2006.”
To signify your acceptance of this Amendment, kindly countersign and return one copy to my attention.
