Minimum Quantity. Customer undertakes to purchase from Lonza
a minimum of
[***] per calendar year during the Term of the Agreement
(“Minimum
Quantity”). For the purposes of this section, a Batch
is considered “purchased” as of the Commencement Date
in the Purchase Order confirmed by Lonza in accordance with Section
6.3. If Customer fails to purchase the Minimum Quantities in any
calendar year, Lonza shall submit an invoice to Customer in January
of the next calendar year and Customer shall pay the
[***] ("Minimum Quantity
Penalty"), within
[***] after receipt of such invoice.
|
|
|
6.5
|
Capacity Reservation.
Lonza shall reserve capacity to manufacture the Minimum Quantity
agreed between the Parties plus
[***] per applicable calendar year during the Term of the
Agreement, starting in 2019 (“Capacity

Cancellation Fee. Customer may cancel a Purchase Order upon
written notice to Lonza, subject to the payment of a cancellation
fee equal to
[***] with supplier, of each such Batch cancelled under the
Purchase Order (the "Cancellation
Fee"). Any Up-Front Payment paid by Customer to Lonza in
accordance with Appendix A
shall be deducted from such Cancellation Fee; provided, however, to
the extent that such Up-Front Payment was used by Lonza to purchase
Raw Materials in reliance on such cancelled Purchase Order, (i) the
cost of such Raw Materials, as substantiated by sufficient
documentation, shall not be deducted from the Cancellation Fee, and
(ii) such Raw Materials shall be used by Lonza in the preparation
of a subsequent Batch (and the cost of such Raw Materials shall be
deducted from the Batch Price for such subsequent Batch) or
otherwise disposed of at Customer’s direction. Any
Cancellation Fee shall be payable in accordance with Section 8
herein. For the purpose of calculating whether Customer has
purchased the Minimum Quantity in accordance with Section 6.4, any
Batch in a Purchase Order that is cancelled under this Section 6.7
and for which the applicable Cancellation Fee has been paid by
Customer will be considered a Batch “purchased” as of
the Commencement Date in such cancelled Purchase
Order.

|
6.8
|
Rescheduling. Lonza shall have the right to reschedule a
Commencement Date of any Batch or Campaign once upon
[***] prior written notice to Customer, provided that the
resulting rescheduled Delivery Date is targeted not to exceed
[***] later than the confirmed Delivery Date and for the
purpose of calculating whether Customer has purchased the Minimum
Quantity in accordance with Section 6.4, such rescheduled Batch
will be considered “purchased” as of the original
Commencement Date in the confirmed Purchase Order. If the Customer
requests to change the Commencement Date, Lonza will make all
reasonable attempts to accommodate the request; provided, however,
in the event that this change would impact other projects scheduled
for occupancy in the designated suite or suites, manufacture of the
Customer’s Batch or Campaign may be delayed until an adequate
time period is available in the Facility schedule. Parties shall
discuss in good faith the impact such rescheduling request has. Any
delay requested by Customer of more than
[***] shall be considered a cancellation of the Purchase
Order and shall be subject to the Cancellation Fee set forth in
Section 6.7.

Product
Quantities. A Batch of
[***] of Product (the “Target Quantity”), up to

of the Target Quantity for any Batch is delivered, (a) the Parties
will negotiate in good faith the scheduling of the manufacture of a
subsequent Batch, and Lonza will use its best efforts to prioritize
the scheduling of such subsequent Batch so as to minimize
disruption of Customer’s supply of Product, and (b) at
Customer’s discretion, such subsequent Batch shall be
considered a Batch “purchased” in the next calendar
year for purposes of calculating whether Company has purchased the
Minimum Quantity in accordance with Section 6.4.

|
7.3
|
Acceptance/Rejection
of Product.
|
|
|
7.3.1
|
Promptly
following Lonza Release of a Batch, Customer shall inspect such
Batch and shall have the right to test such Batch to determine
compliance with the
|
14
Product
Specifications. Customer shall notify Lonza in writing of any
rejection of a Batch based on any claim that it fails to meet
Specifications within
[***] of Release for Delivery, after which time all
unrejected Batches shall be deemed accepted. Customer shall inform
Lonza in writing in case of concealed or latent defects (i.e. not
discovered by routine quality control means), promptly upon
discovery of such defects but no later than
[***] after delivery of the Product.
|
|
7.3.2
|
In the
event that Lonza believes that a Batch has been incorrectly
rejected, Lonza may require that Customer provide to it Batch
samples for testing. Lonza may retain and test the samples of such
Batch. In the event of a discrepancy between Customer’s and
Lonza’s test results such that Lonza’s test results
fall within relevant Specifications, or there exists a dispute
between the Parties over the extent to which such failure is
attributable to a given Party, the Parties shall cause an
independent laboratory promptly to review records, test data and
perform comparative tests and analyses on samples of the Product
that allegedly fails to conform to Specifications. Such independent
laboratory shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties. The
independent laboratory’s results shall be in writing and
shall be final and binding save for manifest error. Unless
otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, the costs associated
with such testing and review shall be borne by the Party against
whom the independent laboratory rules.
|
|
|
7.3.3
|
Lonza
shall Reprocess or Rework any Batch, as defined in the Quality
Agreement, or, if Reprocessing or Reworking is not possible,
replace any Batch that fails to conform with the Specifications (a
“Failed Batch”).
In the event that such failure of the Failed Batch is determined by
the Parties or the independent laboratory in accordance with
Section 7.3.2 to be attributable to the Manufacturing Process
supplied to Lonza by Customer (“AMAG Failed Batch”), then such
Reprocessing, Reworking or replacement will be at
[***] cost, including the cost of Raw Materials and
Necessary Consumables, according to a schedule mutually agreed to
by the Parties, which shall in any event be as promptly as
practicable.
|
In the
event that it is determined by the Parties or the independent
laboratory in accordance with Section 7.3.2 that such failure of
the Failed Batch is not attributable to the Manufacturing Process
supplied to Lonza by Customer (“Lonza Failed Batch”), then such
Reprocessing, Reworking or replacement will be at
[***] cost, including the cost of Raw Materials and
Necessary Consumables, and according to a schedule mutually agreed
to by the Parties, which shall in any event be as promptly as
practicable. If Lonza is or will be unable to (i) Reprocess or
Rework such Lonza Failed Batch and deliver the resulting Product
within
[***] of the Delivery Date, or (ii) replace such Lonza
Failed Batch and deliver the resulting Product within
[***] of the Delivery Date, then in either case Lonza shall
instead, at Customer’s discretion, refund the Batch Price of
the Lonza Failed Batch to Customer. In the event that
[***] or more consecutive Lonza Failed Batches occur during
the Term, Customer may, at its discretion, terminate this
Agreement.
Regardless of the
remedy elected by Customer under this Section 7.3.3, for the
purpose of calculating whether Customer has purchased the Minimum
Quantity in accordance with Section 6.4, a Failed Batch shall be
considered a Batch “purchased” on the Commencement Date
of such Batch as specified in the Purchase Order.
15
Except
for Lonza’s indemnification obligations set forth in Section
11.1, Customer acknowledges and agrees that its sole remedy with
respect to a Lonza Failed Batch is as set forth in this Section,

If
Lonza is unable to remedy the Failure to Supply within

Customer may, at its discretion, cancel such Purchase Order,
provided that in the event of such a cancellation, (i) the
Cancellation Fee set forth in Section 6.7 shall not apply to such
canceled Purchase Order, (ii) the Batch set forth in such canceled
Purchase Order shall be considered a Batch “purchased”
on the Commencement Date of such Batch as specified in the Purchase
Order for purposes of calculating whether Company has purchased the
Minimum Quantity in accordance with Section 6.4, and (iii) any
Up-Front Payment paid by Customer to Lonza according to

Customer’s discretion, fully refunded to Customer or applied
to the Batch Price for a subsequent Batch.

11 Indemnification
and Liability
|
|
11.1
|
Indemnification by Lonza. Lonza shall indemnify the
Customer, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, employees
and agents (“Customer
Indemnitees”) for any loss, damage, costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorney fees) that Customer Indemnitees may
suffer as a result of any Third Party claim arising directly out of
(i) any material breach of the warranties given by Lonza in this
Agreement, or (ii) Lonza’s or Lonza’s
Indemnitees’ negligence or intentional misconduct in
performing any obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) any
claims alleging that the Services (excluding use by Lonza of
Customer Information and Customer Background Intellectual Property)
infringe any Intellectual Property rights of a Third Party except,
in each case, to the extent that such claims resulted from the
negligence, intentional misconduct or breach of this Agreement by
any Customer Indemnitees.
|
|
|
11.2
|
Indemnification by Customer. Customer shall indemnify Lonza,
its Affiliates, and their respective officers, employees and agents
(“Lonza
Indemnitees”) from and against any loss, damage, costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) that Lonza
Indemnitees may suffer as a result of any Third Party claim arising
directly out of (i) any material breach of the warranties
given by Customer in this Agreement, or (ii) any claims alleging
that Lonza’s use of the Customer Intellectual Property or
Customer Information in the performance of Services infringes any
Intellectual Property rights of Third Parties, or (iii)
Customer’s or Customer’s Indemnitees’ negligence
or intentional misconduct in performing any obligations under this
Agreement, or (iv) the manufacture (except pursuant to this

any claims of product liability; except, in each case, to the
extent that such claims (A) resulted from the negligence,

12.3
|
The
obligation to maintain confidentiality under this Agreement does
not apply to Confidential Information, which:
|
|
|
12.3.1
|
at the
time of disclosure was publicly available; or
|
|
|
12.3.2
|
is or
becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of
this Agreement by the Receiving Party; or
|
|
|
12.3.3
|
as the
Receiving Party can establish by contemporaneous written records,
was rightfully in its possession at the time of disclosure by the
Disclosing Party and had not been received from or on behalf of
Disclosing Party; or
|
21
|
|
12.3.4
|
is
supplied to a Party by a Third Party which was not in breach of an
obligation of confidentiality to Disclosing Party or any other
party, as evidenced by contemporaneous written records;
or
|
|
|
12.3.5
|
is
developed by the Receiving Party independently from and without use
of the Confidential Information, as evidenced by contemporaneous
written records.
|
|
|
12.4
|
The
Receiving Party will use Confidential Information only for the
purposes of this Agreement and will not make any use of the
Confidential Information for its own separate benefit or the
benefit of any Third Party including, without limitation, with
respect to research or product development or any reverse
engineering or similar testing. The Receiving Party agrees to
return or destroy promptly (and certify such destruction) on
Disclosing Party’s request all written or tangible
Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, except that one
copy of such Confidential Information may be kept by the Receiving
Party in its confidential files for record keeping purposes
only.
|
|
|
12.5
|
Each
Party will restrict the disclosure of Confidential Information to
such officers, employees, consultants and representatives of itself
and its Affiliates who have been informed of the confidential
nature of the Confidential Information and who have a need to know
such Confidential Information for the purpose of this Agreement.
Prior to disclosure to such persons, the Receiving Party shall bind
its and its Affiliates’ officers, employees, consultants and
representatives to confidentiality and non-use obligations no less
stringent than those set forth herein. The Receiving Party shall
notify the Disclosing Party as promptly as practicable of any
unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential
Information.
|
|
|
12.6
|
The
Receiving Party shall be fully liable for any and all breaches of
the confidentiality obligations in this Clause 13 by any of its
Affiliates or the officers, employees, consultants and
representatives of itself or its Affiliates.
|
|
|
12.7
|
Each
Party hereto expressly agrees that any breach or threatened breach
of the undertakings of confidentiality provided under this Clause
12 by a Party may cause irreparable harm to the other Party and
that money damages may not provide a sufficient remedy to the
non-breaching Party for any breach or threatened breach. In the
event of any breach and/or threatened breach, then, in addition to
all other remedies available at law or in equity, the non-breaching
Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief.
|
|
|
12.8
|
The
confidentiality and non-use obligations imposed by this Agreement
shall expire with respect to any particular item of a Disclosing
Party's Confidential Information on the
[***] anniversary of the date of disclosure of such
Confidential Information (and in the case of trade secrets, until
such time as such trade secrets are no longer accorded trade secret
status under
[***] law).

set forth above. All notices must be given (a) by personal

condition or delay consent to such press releases or such
disclosures to the SEC or other applicable agency, and (ii) either
Party may issue such press releases or make such disclosures to the
SEC or other applicable agency as it determines, based on advice of
counsel, are reasonably necessary to comply with laws or
