The Forecast shall be rolled forward and updated by Client on or before the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter.
(a) Binding Portion. Upon written acceptance of the Binding Portion (defined below) by Xxxxxx within *** (***) days of its receipt, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, the first *** (***) months of each Forecast shall be binding on Client and Xxxxxx and shall obligate Xxxxxx to Produce, sell and deliver to Client and shall obligate Client to purchase, the specified quantity of Client Product, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (the “Binding Portion”).

period. Such change for any given period may be made only once, absent written agreement by Xxxxxx. By way of example and not limitation, if a Forecast describes an amount of Product equaling *** (***) Batches in a period when first forecast, then Client would have the right to increase or decrease the amount of Product described in the subsequent Forecast for the same period while it is a Firm Portion Period by up to *** percent (***%), that is, up or down by *** (***) Batches in the aggregate.
(c) Non-Binding. The last *** (***) months of each Forecast are non-binding on both parties and not subject to any forecasting restrictions, and shall be subject to Althea’s written acceptance within *** (***) days of its receipt, not to be unreasonably withheld.

(e) Reservation Fee.

At the end of each calendar year during the Term, Xxxxxx shall determine if Client’s payments for such calendar year exceeded the Reservation Fee and, if not, invoice Client for such Outstanding Amount (as defined below) no later than February 15. The “Outstanding Amount” is determined by calculating (i) the Reservation Fee less (ii) the total amount calculated by adding all payments made by Client for Batches (excluding without limitation Components procurement costs, project management fees and inventory management fees) received by Xxxxxx from Client during that calendar year. Client shall only be responsible for the Outstanding Amount if such amount is greater than zero. Invoices for the Outstanding Amount, if any, shall be subject to the payment terms of section 3.5.

9.3 Authorized Disclosure. Notwithstanding Section 9.1, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information, without violating its obligations under Article 9, to the extent the disclosure is required by a valid order of a court or other governmental body having jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Receiving Party gives reasonable prior written notice to the Disclosing Party of such required disclosure in order to allow Disclosing Party, at its option and expense, to seek a protective order preventing or limiting the disclosure and/or requiring that the Confidential Information so disclosed be used only for the purposes for which the law or regulation requires, or for which the order was issued, and continues to treat such information as confidential under this Agreement.

Amikacin is an FDA approved drug with established efficacy. ARIKAYCE is a liposomal formulation of Amikacin, an FDA-approved IV aminoglycoside antibiotic that has proven efficacy in the treatment of gram-negative infections. It is a member of the aminoglycoside class of antibiotics. Amikacin has been long recognized as one of the most potent/effective treatments for gram-negative infections including Pseudomonas, as well as non-tuberculosis mycobacterium (NTM). The value of the systemic use of IV Amikacin has been limited by issues of nephrotoxicity (damage to the kidney) and ototoxicity (damage to the ear).
ARIKAYCE may be desirable because it delivers high, sustained levels of drug to the lung while potentially minimizing systemic exposure well below known toxicity levels.
This proposal outlines the pricing of manufacturing of one cGMP commercial lot of Arikayce® for 2015 at the *** kg scale. Pricing is valid through December 31, 2015. Insmed may issue Purchase Orders (POs) against this general/blanket proposal for each ARIKAYCE lot requested through December 31, 2015. All project management and inventory management fees will be billed monthly from Sales Quote #5647.
Upon signature of this proposal by Insmed and Ajinomoto Xxxxxx, a project manager at Ajinomoto Xxxxxx will put a proposed schedule together. The actual project timeline may vary pending the availability of facilities, equipment, raw materials and the successful transfer of documents.
All product development and manufacturing activities will take place at Ajinomoto Xxxxxx located in Xxx Xxxxx, XX 00000.
This Proposal is governed by the terms and conditions of the Drug Product Production and Clinical Supply Agreement effective as of July 8, 2009 between Ajinomoto Xxxxxx (formerly known as Xxxxxx Technologies, Inc.) and Insmed Incorporated (formerly known as Transave, Inc.).

EXHIBIT B
PURCHASE PRICE
Price: As set forth in Quote(s), attached as Exhibit A, when mutually executed by the parties, beginning with Quote *** (2015). The parties shall negotiate in good faith to establish a *** based on *** by the end of the *** quarter of ***.
Beginning January 1 2016, Xxxxxx may increase the Purchase Price and/or Storage Price *** per calendar year by no more than PPI. “PPI” shall mean the rate equal to the increase (if any) in the most recent ***, ***, series code ***, published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or comparable successor index for the prior year. For example, if Xxxxxx elects to increase the Purchase Price in May of 2016, PPI will be determined by the PPI for May 2015 thru April 2016 (or the closest 1-year period for which data is published). For clarity, the cost of Components is separate from the Purchase Price and the price for Components shall at all times be based on Althea’s actual cost of said Components.
