6. CEPHALON SUPPLIED PRODUCT
6.1 Contingent Supply of Cephalon Supplied Product. In the event that Xxxx is unable to obtain, on or before 30 days prior to the earliest of: (i) September 5, 2006, if Cephalon is either not granted Pediatric Exclusivity with respect to ACTIQ or Cephalon did not obtain Final FDA approval of ACTIQ NDA or ACTIQ SF NDA, as the case may be, for the marketing of ACTIQ SF, as set forth in Section 2.3 of this Agreement; (ii) February 3, 2007, if Cephalon is granted Pediatric Exclusivity with respect to ACTIQ; or (iii) the Anticipated Final FDA Approval of OVF (such earliest date being the “First Delivery Date”), FDA ANDA Approval necessary to permit the manufacture and sale of Xxxx Generic Product or Xxxx Generic SF Product, as the case may be, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 6, then Cephalon will manufacture and supply to Xxxx for resale in the United States Cephalon Supplied Product commencing on the First Delivery Date; provided, however, that Cephalon shall not be required to supply Cephalon Supplied Product in a Substantially Sugar-free formulation more than 30 days prior to the ACTIQ SF Patent Rights License Effective Date. Xxxx shall have the option to have Cephalon manufacture and supply to Xxxx a Cephalon Supplied Product that is either Substantially Sugar-free or not Substantially Sugar-free; provided, however, that if Cephalon is simultaneously selling both ACTIQ and ACTIQ SF in the United States, Xxxx shall have the option to have Cephalon manufacture and supply both Substantially Sugar-free and not Substantially Sugar-free formulations of Cephalon Supplied Product.
Cephalon will supply such Cephalon Supplied Products in finished dosage form in bulk containers ready for packaging and labeling by Xxxx, irrespective of Cephalon’s continued manufacture or production of ACTIQ or ACTIQ SF for its own purposes.
For purposes of clarification, Xxxx’x receipt at any time during the term of the supply
provisions of this Agreement of Cephalon Supplied Product that is not Substantially Sugar-free shall not otherwise terminate Cephalon’s obligations to supply to Xxxx a Substantially Sugar-free formulation of Cephalon Supplied Product under the terms and conditions of this Article 6.
In the event that Xxxx has obtained FDA ANDA Approval necessary to permit the manufacture and sale of Xxxx Generic Product, but FDA withdraws such FDA ANDA Approval prior to Xxxx’x Commercial Launch of the Xxxx Generic Product, Cephalon will manufacture and supply to Xxxx for resale in the United States Cephalon Supplied Products, commencing as soon as reasonably practicable following Xxxx’x notice to Cephalon of FDA’s withdrawal of such FDA ANDA Approval.
(a) ACTIQ as Cephalon Supplied Product. To ensure that Xxxx has a timely and uninterrupted supply of Cephalon Supplied Product, Cephalon and Xxxx shall prepare and file, at Cephalon’s cost and immediately as of the Consent Agreement Effective Date, such filings and other actions necessary to qualify Xxxx’x sale of Cephalon Supplied Product. Additionally, Cephalon and Xxxx shall prepare and file, at Cephalon’s cost and immediately upon Final FDA Approval of ACTIQ SF such filings necessary to qualify Xxxx’x sale of Substantially Sugar-free formulation of Cephalon Supplied Product. Further, Cephalon and Xxxx agree that in the event of any interruptions in supply of Cephalon Supplied Product during the term of the supply provisions of this Agreement, the manufacture and supply of Cephalon Supplied Product shall take priority over the manufacture, supply, and sale of Cephalon’s branded products, ACTIQ or ACTIQ SF. Notwithstanding Cephalon’s efforts to supply Cephalon Supplied Product in accordance with the preceding sentence, if Cephalon is unable to meet Xxxx’x forecasted requirements of Cephalon Supplied Product, then Cephalon shall provide to Xxxx ACTIQ and ACTIQ SF, as the case may be, out of its existing finished goods inventory at the price per unit set forth herein and shall promptly supplement the ACTIQ NDA to enable the distribution by Xxxx of ACTIQ and ACTIQ SF.
(b) Term of Supply Agreement. Cephalon shall supply Cephalon Supplied Products until the date that is earlier: (i) six (6) years from the Xxxx-Cephalon License Effective Date; or (ii) three (3) years from the First Delivery Date of Cephalon Supplied Products to Xxxx under this Agreement.

Cephalon Supplied Products shall be delivered FOB Cephalon’s Salt Lake City, Utah manufacturing facility. Cephalon shall properly store and retain appropriate samples (identified by lot and batch number) of each shipment in conditions and for times consistent with all Applicable Law and to permit appropriate or required internal and regulatory checks and references (collectively, the “Shipment Samples”).
(d) Price/Payment. Xxxx shall purchase Cephalon Supplied Products at a price equal to the lesser of (i) $[**] plus an adjustment to reflect the percentage increase in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer Price Index for SIC 28341 in the proceeding year (“PPI Adjustment”) per unit for the first twelve month period commencing on the First Delivery Date; $[**] plus a PPI Adjustment per unit for the twelve month period commencing one year after the First Delivery Date; and $[**] plus a PPI Adjustment per unit for the twelve month period commencing two years after the First Delivery Date; or (ii) [**] percent ([**]%) of the AMP for ACTIQ or ACTIQ SF, as the case may be, on a weighted average basis across all dosage strengths. Xxxx shall pay for all Cephalon Supplied Products within thirty (30) days after receipt of Cephalon’s invoice. If Cephalon has not received payment within such thirty day period, Cephalon will charge Xxxx a penalty at the lower of (i) interest accruing on any such unpaid balance at a rate of [**] percent ([**]%) per month, compounded daily or (ii) the highest rate allowable under applicable law.
(e) Ordering/Forecasting. Cephalon shall inform Xxxx, the Commission, and any Interim Monitor, in writing every sixty (60) days from the Effective Date until FDA approval of: (1) Xxxx Generic Product and (2) Xxxx Generic SF Product, concerning the date of Anticipated Final FDA Approval of OVF.

Failure of Cephalon to provide Xxxx with such notifications shall constitute material breach. Commencing [**] months prior to the Anticipated Final FDA Approval of OVF, as provided by Cephalon, Xxxx shall provide Cephalon with rolling [**] month forecast of its requirements of Cephalon Supplied Products. The forecasts shall be updated [**] and shall be provided to Cephalon not less than [**] ([**]) months prior to the first requested delivery of product under the then-current forecasts. In addition, the first [**] months of each forecast shall be firm purchase orders binding on Xxxx and Cephalon. Within [**] ([**]) business days of receipt of each forecast from Xxxx, Cephalon and Xxxx shall discuss the manufacturing schedule for Cephalon Supplied Products. Cephalon shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to supply Cephalon Supplied Products in excess of forecasted amounts. In the event that the FDA Final Approval of OVF occurs prior to the Anticipated Final FDA Approval of OVF previously indicated to Xxxx by Cephalon, Cephalon shall supply Xxxx with Cephalon Supplied Products no later than thirty (30) days following FDA Final Approval of OVF.
