RE: Technology Access Agreement Amendment
Dear Xx. XxXxxxxx:
Further to our recent conversations, this Letter Amendment (the
"Amendment") sets forth certain changes that the parties wish to make to the
Technology Access Agreement by and between Caliper and Lilly dated August
12,1999 (the "Agreement"). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall
have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. Except as set forth herein,
the terms of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
The parties acknowledge that the purpose of the Technology Access
Program has evolved from its focus on early product development and access to a
later-stage commercial relationship. The parties wish to reflect such changes in
the Agreement as follows: Lilly shall pay the Annual Subscription Fee for the
third Contract Year as set forth in Section 3.1.2 of the Agreement. In
consideration of the Annual Subscription Fee, (i) Lilly shall receive Caliper
assistance and support of [ * ] FTEs during the third Contract Year, and (ii)
Lilly shall have a [ * ] credit towards the purchase of Caliper products and
additional support and assistance services (at a rate of [ * ] per FTE per hour)
delivered during the third Contract Year. Such purchases shall be made pursuant
to Caliper's standard purchase order terms. The requirement in Section 2.3.1
that Caliper support and assistance not exceed [ * ] FTEs in any calendar
quarter is hereby waived only to the extent that Lilly purchases additional
support and assistance pursuant to the preceding sentence. During the third
Contract Year, Lilly will receive a [ * ] discount off of list price for
instruments and a [ * ] discount off of list price for datapoints. Lilly shall
pay list price for LabChips. Caliper's current product catalog and price list
from which Lilly may order products hereunder is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
