not modify such tooling without the consent of Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx. The installation,
qualification and maintenance of all equipment, molds and tooling shall be
conducted in accordance with all applicable Laws, and any relevant
Specifications.
2.3. AGREEMENT TO SUPPLY. During the Term of this Agreement Unipath shall
manufacture, package and supply the Product to Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx in accordance with
terms of this Agreement.
2.4. FORECAST ; FIRM ORDERS; CHANGES TO FIRM ORDERS.
2.4.1 Unipath will first deliver Product to Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx, on June 6, 2004
(the "Product Supply Date").
2.4.2 Beginning six (6) months after the date of this Agreement and
continuing on each calendar month during the term of this Agreement,
Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx shall provide Unipath with written forecast of its
estimated monthly purchases of the Product for the twelve (12) month
period commencing with the calendar month following the month in
which such forecast is delivered to Unipath (except that in the case
of forecasts delivered prior to May 2004, such forecasts shall be for
the twelve (12) month period beginning on the Product Supply Date).
Such forecasts shall represent Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx'x commercially
reasonable, good-faith estimate of its Product requirements from
Unipath for such twelve (12) month period in light of then existing
conditions. Except as provided in Section 2.4.3, such forecasts are
for the convenience of Unipath only, shall not constitute firm
purchase or shipping orders and shall not be binding upon, or create
any obligation or liability with respect to, Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx or
Unipath.
2.4.3 Beginning with the forecast delivered in May 2004, at the time each
written forecast is delivered by Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx to Unipath pursuant
to Section 2.4.2, the first three (3) months of such forecast (the
"Firm Order Period") shall be deemed
7
a firm order (a "Firm Order") for the Product, which Firm Order shall
specify actual quantities and delivery dates for the Product for the
Firm Order Period. Quantities of Product delivered pursuant to a Firm
Order shall not vary more than plus or minus five percent (+/- 5%) of
such Firm Order. Unipath shall deliver the Product on the delivery
date specified by Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx in the relevant Firm Order or up to
fifteen (15) Business Days prior to such delivery date.
Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx shall be obligated to pay Unipath in accordance with
Section 3.1, for quantities of Product produced and delivered by
Unipath in accordance with the instructions contained in
Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx'x Firm Orders, subject to any exceptions to
Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx'x obligation to pay for such Product contained in this
Agreement.
2.4.4 Once a Firm Order is submitted to Unipath with respect to any given
Firm Order Period, Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx may reasonably vary that Firm Order
by providing at least five (5) days' written notice to Unipath prior
to the beginning of the month for which such Firm Order is to be
varied during such Firm Order Period; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Unipath
shall have thirty (30) days from the day of such variance notice to
deliver the amount of Product that is in excess of the amount ordered
by Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx pursuant to the original Firm Order.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, in the event
Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx wishes to increase a Firm Order by greater than
twenty-five percent (25%), Unipath is only required to make
reasonable commercial efforts to produce such additional volume of
Product for Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx.
2.4.5 If Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx decreases the production volumes set forth in
Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx'x Firm Orders, Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx shall be responsible for
the reasonable cost of materials for the Product purchased by Unipath
and in accordance with Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx'x Firm Orders; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx shall not be responsible for the
reasonable cost of materials for (i) any materials in excess of a
ninety (90) day supply unless such excess supply was specifically
authorized in writing by Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx or (ii) any materials that
are or will be subsequently used by Unipath. At Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx'x
option, Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx may instruct Unipath to utilize such materials
in the future supply of Product. In addition, Unipath shall use
reasonable efforts to utilize such materials in the supply of Product
so as to minimize the amount of such materials that remain unused.
2.5. STANDARD FORMS. In ordering and delivering Product, Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx
and Unipath may employ their standard forms, but nothing in those forms shall be
construed to modify or amend the terms of this Agreement, and, in the case of
any conflict herewith, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
2.6. QUANTITATIVE DEFECTS. Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx shall inform Unipath in writing
of any claim relating to quantitative defects in shipments of Product within
thirty (30) days following actual receipt of such shipments by Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx,
and Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx shall provide to Unipath copies of any appropriate documents
relating to such defects that Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx may
8
have in its possession. Unipath shall, at its own expense, provide
Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx with any missing quantities of such Product as soon as reasonably
possible after receipt of notice from Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx. Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx shall only
be obligated to pay for actual quantities of Product received by Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx.
Any claim for a quantitative defect which is not made within such thirty (30)
day period shall be deemed to have been waived by Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx.
2.7. INVENTORY; CARRYING CHARGES. Unipath will keep adequate inventories
of Product materials on hand or with suppliers to accommodate variations in
quantities and packaging that may be reasonably required by Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx
hereunder, consistent with Section 2.4 above. In the event Unipath is required,
pursuant to this Agreement, to hold inventory of non-active raw materials and/or
Product for more than 180 days, Unipath shall have the right to charge
Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx for reasonable inventory carrying charges (not to exceed 9% of
Unipath's cost of non-active raw materials in the held inventory) to compensate
Unipath for the carrying cost of such inventory, if the existence of such
inventory arose as a result of a change in sales forecast by Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx.
Such inventory carrying charges shall be periodically invoiced to
Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx, as incurred, together with suitable back up information
evidencing the carrying charges and Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx shall pay such invoices
within thirty (30) days after receipt.
2.8. NO THIRD PARTY CONFLICTS. Unipath shall not manufacture or process
goods for itself or a third party where to do so will, as a consequence, delay
delivery of Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx'x identified requirements of Product (including any
reasonable increases in Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx'x delivery requirements thereof pursuant
to the terms of Section 2.4 hereof).
2.9. PRODUCT SAMPLES. Unipath shall provide Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx with samples of
the Product (other than retention samples) promptly upon request. Such Product
samples shall be shipped to Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx in accordance with the provisions set
forth in Section 3.2 hereof, and Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx shall pay the Price for such
Product in the manner described in Section 3.3.
2.10. ALTERNATIVE SUPPLY. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.11,
if at any time during the Term of this Agreement Unipath does not for a period
of thirty (30) days or more, or anticipates that it will not, fill the total
monthly Product volume required by Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx'x forecasts, or the Product
supplied by Unipath does not meet or comply with the Specifications for a period
of thirty (30) days or more, Unipath must (a) procure from a third party
quantities of Product sufficient to replace any quantities of Product which
Unipath cannot or will not supply, or (b) otherwise provide for an alternative
source of Product. Unipath shall promptly notify Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx in the event
that it cannot or will not meet forecasted volumes, or in the event Product does
not meet or comply with Specifications. Unipath shall use its best efforts with
Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx to resolve such problems during the thirty (30) day period.
Unipath and its Afiliates shall cooperate with, and supply all reasonable
technical assistance, including, without limitation, technical personnel, at
Unipath's expense, to any alternate supplier, and shall assist in the disclosure
of Intellectual Property to such supplier and such supplier shall have complete
access to and use of such Intellectual Property during the period Unipath shall
be unable or unwilling to supply Product, or the Period during which the Product
fails to meet Specifications; PROVIDED THAT any alternate supplier to whom
Unipath or its Affiliates must disclose Intellectual Property in accordance with
this Section 2.10, shall be required to execute a
9
confidentiality agreement prior to disclosure. If Unipath does not provide an
acceptable alternative source of supply within 60 days of the first date (x)
Unipath was unable or unwilling to supply Product, or (y) the Product failed to
meet Specifications, in addition to any other rights it may have hereunder or at
law, Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx may terminate this agreement in accordance with Section
12.2. Each of Inverness and Unipath shall indemnify Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx, its
Affiliates and their directors, officers, agents, consultants and employees for
the aggregate losses, including an increase in the price paid by Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx
to a third-party supplier of the substitute product in connection with the
exercise of its rights under this SECTION 2.10. The parties agree that the
indemnification procedures set forth in Section 8.4 shall be followed by the
parties with respect to the foregoing indemnification.
2.11. COMMITMENT TO EXCLUSIVE PURCHASE. Beginning on the Product Supply
Date, Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, and any other
person which Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx authorizes to sell pregnancy tests under the
e.p.t.(R) brand or any other brand owned by Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx (collectively, the
"AFFILIATED ENTITIES") to purchase exclusively from Unipath, one hundred
percent (100%) of their requirements of all Product for sale in the
Territory, and Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx shall not purchase or permit any Affiliated
Entities to purchase any Product for sale in the Territory from any supplier
other than Unipath.
2.12. UNIPATH RESTRICTION ON MANUFACTURE. Unipath shall, and shall cause
its Affiliates to, comply with applicable Law as it applies to manufacturing,
marketing, packaging or selling products (i) similar to the Product using all or
any portion of Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx'x customized design format, or (ii) using
packaging and/or tradedress materials that make comparisons to or are
substantially similar to the Product and/or Warner trademarks, packaging or

listed on Schedule A attached hereto, in the form provided by Inverness as of
the date hereof, and acknowledges that none of such products or packaging
infringe the tradedress of the Product or Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx'x trademarks. Any claim
or dispute arising out of or in connection with this Section 2.12 shall be
referred to and finally resolved by binding arbitration under the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), which Rules
are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause. The number of

tribunal shall be final and judgment upon such an award may be entered in any
competent court for judicial acceptance of such an award and an order of

responsibility for managing any Recall of the Product, PROVIDED THAT,
Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx shall consult with Unipath prior to initiating any Recall for
which it appears that Unipath might bear the expense pursuant to the last

verify Unipath's compliance with its production and packaging obligations under
this Agreement; PROVIDED THAT such audit shall not include a review of financial
information. Unipath shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to
ensure that Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx has similar access to the facilities, data and
records of Unipath's suppliers or agents. Such inspections do not relieve
Unipath of any of its obligations under this Agreement or create new obligations
on the part of Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx. Inspections and audits by Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx
personnel hereunder shall be conducted to the extent reasonably required by
Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx and upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours and in
compliance with the confidentiality provisions set out in Section 11 hereof and

there is disagreement between the parties as to whether the Product meets
Specifications, the parties shall have such Product tested by a party
mutually agreed upon by Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx and Unipath (the "Arbiter"). If the
parties cannot agree on an arbiter within five (5) Business Days, any claim
or dispute arising out of or in connection with this Section 4.12 shall be

arbitral proceedings shall be English. The arbitrator shall apply the
substantive law of
New York, except that the interpretation and enforcement
of this arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration
Act. Prior to commencement of arbitration, emergency relief is available from
any court to avoid irreparable harm. The Arbiter's or arbitrator's
determination, as the case may be, as to whether such Product meets
Specifications shall be binding on the parties hereto. There shall be no
breach of this Agreement based on a claim that the Product does not meet
Specifications until there is a final determination by the Arbiter or
arbitrator. The expense for such testing and for any costs associated with
the destruction of such Product shall be borne by Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx except to
the extent it is determined that Unipath is responsible for such failure or
breach. At Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx'x option, Unipath shall replace Product which does
not conform with Unipath's warranties under this Agreement as soon as
reasonably possible, taking into account Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx'x production schedule
as communicated pursuant to Section 2 hereof. Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx shall have the
right to setoff any refund due Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx on account of rejected Product
against invoices otherwise due or which become due to Unipath. The provisions

to Product packaged by Unipath that is received or sold by Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx
subsequent to the termination or expiration of this Agreement but prior to
any last sale date on the Product(s) labels(s), provided, that subsequent to
the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx, in lieu of
having Unipath replace such rejected Product, may elect to have Unipath
reimburse Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx for the purchase price actually paid for such
Product.
4.13. COMPLAINTS. In connection with any Product complaints forwarded by

records and testing of such Product and investigate such complaint, at no
additional cost to Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx, all in accordance with the Quality Agreement
(as hereinafter defined).

Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx'x sole benefit for a period of one year from the date Product
incorporating such Assigned Invention is shipped by Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx to its
customer. Any trademarks, trade names, brand names, slogans, logos, copyrights,
trade dress, and goodwill associated with the Product shall be the sole and
exclusive property of Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx. None of Unipath and its Affiliates shall

of any additional Product claim, and Unipath notifies Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx (in
accordance with Section 14.1) of such study within two (2) weeks and documents
the existence of the same through Unipath's internal written files, Unipath and

itself or a third party.
(d) Subject to 7.1(a), it is agreed that Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx is the sole owner

customers of Unipath or its Affiliates, on terms to be negotiated by the
parties in good faith.

and the probable duration of the delay. Any delay caused by an event of force
majeure shall toll the term of this Agreement which shall be extended by the
