SECTION 2. SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS; ORDERS; ALTERNATIVE SUPPLY.
2.1. Agreement to Supply.
(a) During the Term of this Agreement and subject to the provisions of
this Agreement, including the forecasting and ordering provisions, Gilead shall
Manufacture and supply, exclusively to Eyetech, quantities of the Product
identified in Section 1.32 for the Territory that are covered by Orders
submitted by Eyetech in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) Upon mutual agreement, the parties may include additional Products
under this Agreement by executing and delivering additional Product Appendices,
whereupon the definition of "Product" shall be expanded to include the
product(s) included in such new Product Appendix. Any such additional Product
Appendices shall be governed by and made a part of this Agreement. Gilead shall
Manufacture and supply, exclusively to Eyetech, quantities of such additional
Products for the Territory that are covered by Orders submitted by Eyetech in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) Both Gilead and Eyetech acknowledge the fact that the Product is in
the developmental phase of the product life cycle and there is no certainty that
the Product will be commercialized, as certain data and information will become
available as the project progresses which may cause Eyetech, or the Sublicensee,
to decide that the Product is not commercially viable in the United States or
the FDA to decide the Product is not sufficiently safe or efficacious enough for
its intended use to satisfy requirements for issuance of a Regulatory Approval
therefor in the Territory. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this agreement
obligates Eyetech to proceed with any commercial activities if Eyetech should
chose not to commercialize the Product in the Territory, provided that it
exercises its right to terminate this Agreement in compliance with Section
13.2(f).
2.2. Use of Facility, Equipment, Molds and Tooling.
(a) All Manufacturing shall be carried out by Gilead, at its Facility
utilizing equipment, molds and tooling in the manner set forth in the
Specifications.
(b) Eyetech will purchase and pay for the equipment to be used for
Manufacture of the Product that Gilead does not currently own or lease (such
equipment, which is identified in Attachment 2 hereto, together with any
additional equipment so designated as set forth below in this Section 2.2(b),
the "Critical Equipment"). Any such Critical Equipment will be delivered to the
Facility and placed as designated by Gilead and dedicated to Manufacture of the
Product,
6
provided, however, that Eyetech will retain title to the Critical Equipment.
Eyetech will fund the acquisition of replacement parts necessary for the repair
of the Critical Equipment and Gilead will fund and provide routine maintenance,
upkeep, cleaning and requalifications of the Critical Equipment. Gilead will
provide the space for the Critical Equipment rent free in Facility and will be
responsible for costs associated with the operation of the space. The parties
acknowledge that certain expansions to the Facility, and the acquisition of
certain additional equipment, which upon such acquisition and delivery to the
Facility shall be designated "Critical Equipment" for purposes of this
Agreement, that are the subject of the building and equipment improvement plan
and budget attached to this Agreement as Attachment 2-A will be necessary for
Gilead's performance under this Agreement and that Eyetech shall fund such
Facility expansions and equipment acquisitions as determined by the
Manufacturing Committee in accordance with Section 5.17(d)(iii). Upon
termination of this Agreement, or upon Gilead's ceasing to use the Critical
Equipment for production of the Product, Gilead will cooperate reasonably with
Eyetech to arrange for the prompt removal on a reasonable schedule of such
Critical Equipment and to take such other steps as reasonably necessary for
Eyetech to protect its ownership of the Critical Equipment (and as agreed to in
that certain Master Security Agreement No. 4134080 dated July 26, 2002 among
General Electric Capital Corporation, Eyetech and Gilead with respect to the
Syringe Filler referred to therein).
2.3. Current Production Guidelines; Capacity.
(a) The Product Supplement sets forth Eyetech's initial good faith
non-binding (except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.4(i)) five (5) year
forecast of its Orders for Product from Gilead on a calendar year basis (as
updated annually, the "Planning Forecast"). The first year of each Planning
Forecast will include planned Orders on a unit basis and a monthly basis. During
the Term, Eyetech shall update such Planning Forecast on an annual basis on or
before July 1 of the first year of such Planning Forecast and shall include in
each such update a forecast for an additional year commencing at the end of the
existing Planning Forecast (if such additional year would fall within any
portion of the Term then remaining). Subject to the terms hereof, Gilead shall
devote adequate manufacturing capacity to be capable of producing and supplying
Eyetech (and/or its Affiliates or designees) during a calendar year [**] percent
([**]%) of the quantity of Product stated in the Planning Forecast for such
calendar year ("Order Limit").
(b) Eyetech will promptly notify Gilead of any potential increases in
Eyetech's Orders for Product over the quantities stated in the Planning
Forecast. If requested by Eyetech at least one (1) year in advance of the
applicable calendar year, the parties will discuss in good faith any potential
adjustment of manufacturing capacity at Gilead necessary to accommodate Orders
for Product in a calendar year in excess of the applicable Order Limit for such
calendar year. Gilead will make any capacity adjustment to accommodate such
increased Orders in accordance with the parties' agreement as to the process,
schedule, and appropriate compensation, investment or payment by Eyetech
therefor. If the parties fail to agree on such a potential increase of
Manufacturing capacity, then Eyetech's Annual Minimum Percentage obligation
shall be limited to purchasing a quantity of Product that is equal to or greater
than the Annual Minimum Percentage of Eyetech's Orders excluding amounts in
excess of the agreed Order Limit.
7
(c) The parties acknowledge that the Commercial Launch of the Product
will constitute the launch of a new pharmaceutical product in the Territory and,
therefore, actual demand may vary considerably from forecasted demand.
Accordingly, the parties each agree to use best efforts to cooperate with one
another in a manner that enables Gilead to accommodate changing demand.
2.4. Forecasts and Orders.
(a) Forecast Schedule. Eyetech shall provide Gilead with a rolling
forecast schedule of demand for Product ("Forecast Schedule") for the following
twelve (12) calendar months. Each Forecast Schedule shall be expressed in
integer multiples of the current batch size agreed by the parties and shall be
compiled and updated on or before the first day of every month. The initial
Forecast Schedule is set forth in the Product Supplement. Eyetech shall also
keep Gilead updated through monthly review meetings involving the relevant staff
from each party as to its revised forecasts in order to enable capacity planning
and other such activities to be carried out.
(b) Order Quantities. The quantities of Product detailed in the first
three (3) months of each Forecast Schedule will be quantities for which Eyetech
shall place a firm order ("Order") that, subject to Section 2.4(f), Gilead shall
accept, confirm and fulfill in accordance with this Section 2.4. The required
delivery dates for each such Order shall be specified in the Order. Required
delivery dates shall be no sooner than twelve (12) weeks after delivery of the
first Forecast Schedule and Order including such delivery dates, unless
otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the parties.
(c) Non-binding Forecast. The last 9 months of the Forecast Schedule
shall constitute a good faith estimate by Eyetech of its future Product
requirements and does not constitute any minimum purchase requirement or any
binding commitment by Eyetech to purchase such Product requirements, subject to
Section 2.4(i).
(d) Terms. Eyetech shall place Orders for Product in whole numbers of
batches. Gilead shall Manufacture Product only in whole numbers of batches and
shall have no obligation to accept or meet any Orders for Product that are for
other than whole numbers of Batches.
(e) Placement and Confirmation. Eyetech shall place Orders for Product
by sending an Eyetech Order form to Gilead by facsimile or in any other written
or electronic form. Gilead shall respond to each Order received from Eyetech
within five (5) Business Days of receipt and accept or reject the Order;
provided, however, that (i) Gilead shall only reject an Order for quantities
covered by the binding portion of any Forecast Schedule in accordance with the
limitation set forth in Section 2.4(f)(i) and (ii) if Gilead fails to respond
within such time period, it shall be deemed to have accepted such Order. If
Gilead receives any Eyetech Order, Planning Forecast or Forecast Schedule after
the close of business on a Business Day, then Gilead will not be deemed to have
received such Order, Planning Forecast or Forecast Schedule until the start of
the next Business Day. Any acceptance of an Order shall include confirmation of
the delivery dates, delivery site and quantity as set out in the Order.
8
(f) Limitations.
(i) If any Order covering a one month period is for a quantity
greater than the quantity for such period as provided in the Forecast
Schedule in which that month was the fourth month of the previous such
forecast ("Forecast Quantity"), Gilead shall not be obligated to supply
Eyetech with any quantities that are in excess of [**] percent ([**]%) of
the Forecast Quantity, with any amounts in such Order in excess of such
amount being the "Excess Amount", unless mutually agreed in writing by
Gilead and Eyetech. If Eyetech submits an Order that includes an Excess
Amount, then promptly after Eyetech receives Gilead's response to
Eyetech's Order that includes such Excess Amount, Gilead and Eyetech shall
discuss the possibility of Gilead supplying Eyetech with all or a portion
of such Excess Amount. If discussion is required on the amount or timing
of production and delivery, then the relevant planning personnel from both
parties will agree upon and confirm any agreed amended forecast within
three Business Days of Gilead's first receipt of the relevant Forecast
Schedule.
(ii) If any Order covering any one month period would make the
total Orders for such calendar year exceed the applicable Order Limit (as
defined in Section 2.3(a)), Gilead shall not be obligated so supply
Eyetech with any portion of such Order that would cause such Order Limit
to be exceeded. If Eyetech submits an Order that if fulfilled would cause
the Order Limit to be exceeded for such calendar year, then promptly after
Eyetech receives Gilead's response to such Order, Gilead and Eyetech shall
discuss the possibility of Gilead supplying Eyetech with all or a portion
of such Excess Amount.
(iii) If Gilead rejects any Order(s) or any portion(s) of Order(s)
in accordance with this Section 2.4(f), then Eyetech's Annual Minimum
Percentage obligation shall be limited to purchasing a quantity of Product
that is equal to or greater than the Annual Minimum Percentage of
Eyetech's Orders excluding such Order(s) or portion(s) of Order(s).
(g) Acceptance of Orders and Fulfillment. Subject to the terms of this
Agreement, including the limitations in Section 2.4(f), Gilead shall accept,
confirm and fulfill Orders submitted by Eyetech in accordance with this Section
2.4 in accordance with their terms (including without limitation with respect to
quantities ordered and delivery dates specified in such Orders). Gilead shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill other Orders and to satisfy any
changes in quantity, delivery phasing or dates requested by Eyetech in respect
of any Order accepted by Gilead, provided that Gilead shall not be required to
incur any additional costs to satisfy such changes, unless the amount of such
costs has been agreed upon in writing in advance between the parties, and
Eyetech has agreed in writing to reimburse all such costs.
(h) Order Non-Satisfaction. If Gilead becomes aware that any Order
previously accepted or confirmed in accordance with Section 2.4(g) will not be
satisfied as to quantity or delivery date, then Gilead shall inform Eyetech as
soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within two (2) Business Days.
9
(i) Annual Minimum Percentage. Subject to Sections 2.3(b), 2.4(f)(iii)
and 2.9(b), Eyetech shall order quantities of Product from Gilead in any
calendar year that equal or exceed the Annual Minimum Percentage for such
calendar year, if any. The quantities in any Order cancelled by Eyetech and any
quantities by which any Order is reduced shall not be counted toward
satisfaction of this obligation; provided that such cancellation or reduction is
not due to a failure by Gilead to accept, confirm and fulfill Orders in
accordance with this Section 2.4 (in which case the cancelled or reduced
quantities shall be counted toward satisfaction by Eyetech of this obligation,
whether or not Gilead informs Eyetech as required under Section 2.4(h)). Eyetech
shall keep or cause to be kept records relating to the volume of Product ordered
from Gilead and any other supplier for a period of four years after the time
period to which such records relate. Gilead shall be entitled to inspect such
records at least once per year. For the avoidance of doubt, Gilead hereby
acknowledges that Eyetech Annual Minimum Percentage obligations do not apply to
the manufacture of products other than the Product. If Eyetech fails to order
quantities of Product from Gilead in any calendar year that equal or exceed the
Annual Minimum Percentage for such calendar year, then Eyetech acknowledges and
agrees that the difference between (i) the amount Eyetech would have paid Gilead
had it ordered the Annual Minimum Percentage for such calendar year and (ii) the
amount Eyetech actually paid Gilead for Product for such year constitute an
appropriate measure of Gilead's damages resulting from such failure and Gilead
acknowledges and agrees that such damages shall constitute Gilead's sole and
exclusive remedy for such failure to purchase Annual Minimum Percentages.
2.5. Standard Forms.
Any Orders for Product submitted by Eyetech shall reference this Agreement. In
ordering and delivering the Product, Eyetech and Gilead may employ their
standard forms, but nothing in those forms shall be construed to modify, amend
or supplement the terms of this Agreement and, in the case of any conflict
herewith, this Agreement shall control. Any term or condition in any Order,
confirmation or other document furnished by Eyetech or Gilead with respect to
orders or deliveries of Product that is in any way inconsistent with the terms
or conditions of this Agreement is hereby expressly rejected.
2.6. Procurement and Approval of Product Materials.
Subject to Sections 5.4(c) and 2.4(f), Gilead shall order sufficient quantities
of all Product Materials to enable Gilead to Manufacture, and to deliver, the
Product in accordance with Orders placed by Eyetech and accepted by Gilead
pursuant to Section 2.4(e). All Product Materials used in the Manufacture of the
Product and the supplier(s) thereof shall have been approved in writing by
Eyetech. Gilead shall issue and pay all purchase orders for such Product
Materials. Gilead may not substitute or otherwise replace any Product Materials
and/or any supplier thereof without the prior written consent of Eyetech. Gilead
agrees to provide Eyetech, on a timely basis, all information that Eyetech may
reasonably request in order to comply with internal Eyetech procedures regarding
approval of a change in Product Materials and/or any supplier thereof. The costs
of Product Materials and the management and procurement of such Product
Materials shall be included in the Price in accordance with the terms of Section
4.1 hereof. If Eyetech designates certain suppliers, Gilead shall obtain Product
Materials from such suppliers and the Price shall be
10
adjusted to account for any cost savings or increased costs resulting from
obtaining Product Materials from such suppliers.
2.7 Supply of API.
Gilead will not purchase API. Eyetech will supply API at its own expense on a
schedule sufficient to permit Gilead to Manufacture the quantity of Product
specified in the Forecast Schedule and Orders. Gilead shall not be obligated to
supply Product to fulfill Orders if Eyetech does not supply Gilead with
sufficient quantities of API in a timely manner. At Eyetech's election, the API
may be delivered directly from Eyetech's vendor to Gilead at the vendor's or
Eyetech's expense. Eyetech or its vendor shall supply Gilead with a copy of the
certificate of analysis for the API no later than the date of delivery of the
API to Gilead. Gilead shall provide Eyetech with monthly reports of Gilead's
usage of API supplied by Eyetech, which reports shall account for all used and
unused API in a manner that provides Eyetech with a reasonable basis for
anticipating Gilead's needs for API for fulfillment of pending and subsequent
Orders.
2.8. Product Samples.
Gilead shall provide Eyetech (or any such other Person as Eyetech shall
designate) with representative lot samples of each production batch of Product
promptly upon request. Eyetech shall be entitled to review, upon reasonable
prior written notice and during normal business hours, all manufacturing records
relating to such samples including all analytical procedures and cleaning
validation relating to the equipment used in connection with the Manufacture of
the Product. Such Product samples shall be delivered and shipped to Eyetech (or
such other Person as Eyetech shall designate) in accordance with the provisions
set forth in Section 3.2 hereof, or as otherwise instructed by Eyetech. Eyetech
shall pay for such samples when invoiced in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof.
2.9. Alternative Supply.
(a) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Eyetech, the Sublicensee or
any of its Affiliates from manufacturing, or engaging third parties to
manufacture on their behalf, Products for the Territory, provided that Eyetech
satisfies its Annual Minimum Percentage obligations pursuant to Section 2.4(i)
for each Product. Gilead shall cooperate with all reasonable requests by Eyetech
to assist at Eyetech's expense in the transfer qualification activities
undertaken by Eyetech or any such third party, provided that Eyetech satisfies
its Annual Minimum Percentage obligations for the applicable Product pursuant to
Section 2.4(i). Gilead will provide such technology transfer activities at the
agreed upon technical rate and mutually approved work plan.
(b) Subject to the limitations set forth below in this Section 2.9(b),
if (i) there is a failure by Gilead to accept Orders submitted by Eyetech in
accordance with Section 2.4 in any [**] consecutive calendar quarters or a
failure by Gilead to fulfill Orders accepted by Gilead in any [**] consecutive
calendar quarters, such that Gilead has not delivered at least [**] percent
([**]%) of the Product quantities ordered by Eyetech during such consecutive
calendar quarters within [**] days of the delivery dates specified in the
relevant Orders, or (ii) Gilead gives notice
11
to Eyetech pursuant to Section 2.4(h) that clause (i) will be true, then Eyetech
shall have the right reduce the Annual Minimum Percentage for the remaining term
of this Agreement by up to the greater of [**] percent ([**]%) or the reasonably
anticipated amount of shortfall in timely, conforming supply by Gilead, and have
such quantities of Product supplied by other suppliers qualified pursuant to
Section 2.9(a); provided that, if the occurrence as described in clause (i) or
(ii) results primarily from events outside the reasonable control of Gilead and
Gilead subsequently provides Eyetech with commercially reasonable assurances
that it can resume supply of Product to Eyetech in a timely manner in compliance
with this Agreement, then Eyetech's Annual Minimum Percentage obligation shall
thereafter be restored to its prior level. If an occurrence as described in
clause (i) or (ii) occurs, the Manufacturing Committee (as defined in Section
5.17) will use good faith efforts to resolve any such supply failures as soon as
commercially practicable; provided that, Eyetech shall have the termination
right set forth in Section 13.2(b) unless both (A) the occurrence as described
in clause (i) or (ii) results primarily from events outside the reasonable
control of Gilead and (B) Gilead subsequently provides Eyetech with commercially
reasonable assurances that it can resume supply of Product to Eyetech in a
timely manner in compliance with this Agreement. In addition, if the FDA imposes
requirements on the Manufacture of the Product that requires Eyetech to modify
the Specifications, the Manufacturing Committee will use good faith efforts to
resolve any resulting issues (including costs increases resulting from such
FDA-imposed requirements) that would prevent Gilead from Manufacturing the
Product in accordance with this Agreement. If the Manufacturing Committee is not
able to resolve such issues, Eyetech shall have the termination right set forth
in Section 13.2(b).

Product rejected pursuant to Section 5.13(b) hereof shall be quarantined and
shall be properly tagged and isolated and shall not be released without the
prior written approval of Eyetech. Eyetech will promptly submit to Gilead a
report specifying the bases for its rejection of such Product. Promptly after
receipt of such report, Gilead will submit to Eyetech a response on the rejected
Product, including the investigation and testing done and recommend either
disposition or acceptance and release of the Product shipment as being in
compliance with the Product Warranty. Eyetech shall review such report and
notify Gilead that Eyetech disputes Gilead's conclusion, accepts Gilead's
conclusion and therefore approves the recommended disposition or release of the
Product, or requests additional data from Gilead. With respect to rejections
pursuant to Section 5.13(b), in the event the parties do not agree on whether
the Product complies with the Product Warranty, the parties shall submit samples
of the non-complying Product to one (1) mutually agreed upon independent third
party laboratory and such party's determinations as to whether the Product
complies with the Product Warranty shall be final and binding upon the parties.
The cost of such independent laboratory analysis shall be paid for by the party
who is determined to be incorrect with respect to the rejected Product's
compliance with the Product Warranty. If it is determined by either Eyetech's
agreement or an independent third party laboratory determination, that Product
rejected pursuant to Section 5.13(b) complies with the Product Warranty, then
Eyetech will promptly pay Gilead's invoice therefor in accordance with its
terms.
5.11. Disposal of Rejected and Non-Complying Product and Product Materials.
All Product rejected pursuant to Section 5.10 and all non-conforming Product
Materials not able to be used in the Manufacture of the Product pursuant to
Section 5.7 shall be removed (if applicable) and disposed of by the party in
possession thereof, as the case may be, in a manner consistent with Applicable
Laws and as approved in advance by Eyetech (such disposal to be at a reasonable
cost in the circumstances and at the expense of the party deemed to be
responsible for
19
such Product pursuant to the terms of Sections 5.10 or such Product Materials
pursuant to Section 5.7) and all documentation relating to such disposition
shall be made available to the other party upon request. The non-disposing
party, at its discretion and cost, may be present to witness the destruction of
rejected or non-complying Product Materials, Product or Product in process. No
rejected or non-complying Product Materials, Product or Product in process shall
be sold as salvage or for any other purpose by either party or designees or
agents thereof without the prior written approval of the other party. Gilead
shall be responsible for ensuring that all printed packaging waste materials
bearing Eyetech or Sublicensee names or logos are destroyed and shall not rely
on any third party for such destruction unless Gilead personnel actually witness
such destruction by the third party.
5.12. Maintenance and Retention of Records.
(a) Gilead shall maintain detailed records with respect to Product
Materials and API usage and Manufacturing, which records shall include
production code dates, and Gilead shall maintain detailed records with respect
to shipping information relating to the Product, in each case according to
Gilead operating procedures and so that Product can be easily traced in case of
a Recall or rejection of Product or Product Materials. Such records shall also
be maintained and retained in accordance with the Quality Agreement and the
Specifications. Such records shall be sufficient such that Gilead shall under
normal circumstances be capable of responding to inquiries by Eyetech within one
(1) Business Day of notification and shall be able to provide the production
code date and the location of the Product in question.
(b) Gilead shall provide to Eyetech on an annual basis a production
record, including control charts, trend analysis, consumer complaints,
deviations and reworks, and any other information, in each case as mutually
agreed, for purposes of preparing an Annual Report as required by cGMP.
5.13. Quantitative Defects; Rejection of Product; Disposal of Rejected
Shipments.
(a) Rejection for Quantitative Defects. Eyetech shall notify Gilead in
writing of any claim relating to Quantitative Defects in shipments of the
Product within thirty (30) days following actual receipt of such shipments by
Eyetech, including Eyetech's bases for concluding that any shortage in quantity
is a Quantitative Defect. If Gilead disputes Eyetech's conclusion, the parties
will work in good faith to determine whether such shortage was due to a
Quantitative Defect. At Eyetech's request, Gilead shall, at its own expense,
provide Eyetech with any missing quantities of such Product promptly after
receipt of notice from Eyetech, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days
following receipt of notice. Eyetech shall be obligated to pay only for actual
quantities of Product delivered in the initial shipment (irrespective of the
invoiced amount) in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof and shall pay for any
quantities subsequently delivered by Gilead to Eyetech as replacements for
missing quantities in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof and, if Eyetech has
paid for quantities of Product not delivered in the initial shipment at the time
that Eyetech discovers the Quantitative Defect, Gilead shall, at Eyetech's
option, either reimburse Eyetech for the amount paid for such non-delivered
quantities or credit such payment against Eyetech's obligations with respect to
future delivered quantities. If it is determined any shortage
20
in the original shipment was not due to a Quantitative Defect, Eyetech will
promptly pay unpaid amounts of the invoice therefor in accordance with this
Agreement. If Gilead does not receive any notice of rejection on the basis of a
Quantitative Defect within forty-five (45) days of Eyetech's receipt of the
relevant shipment, Eyetech shall be deemed to have accepted such shipment of
Product with respect to adequacy of Product quantities in such shipment.
(b) Rejection for Product Warranty Defects. Within forty-five (45) days
following receipt by Eyetech (or its designee) of any shipment of Product
hereunder ("Inspection Period"), Eyetech shall have the right to give Gilead
notice of rejection of any part of such shipment of Product that fails to comply
with the Product Warranty; provided, however, that the only time restriction
applicable to Eyetech's provision of notice of rejection of any shipments of
Product where failure of Products to comply with the Product Warranty in a
manner that would not reasonably have been discovered by any inspection, testing
or analysis of such Product conducted by Eyetech or its designees, shall be that
such notice must be provided prior to the end of the shelf life for such batch
of Product. Determination as to the propriety of any rejection for
non-compliance with the Product Warranty shall be made pursuant to Section 5.10.
If Gilead does not receive within the Inspection Period any notice of rejection
based on non-compliance with the Product Warranty, Eyetech shall be deemed to
have accepted such shipment of Product with respect to compliance with the
Product Warranty as may be reasonably determined by such inspection, analysis or
testing; provided that nothing in this Section 5.13(b) shall limit Gilead's
obligations under Section 9.1 with respect to Losses arising out of or resulting
from third party claims or Gilead's gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
Subject to the last sentence of Section 5.10, Eyetech shall not be obligated to
pay the Price for Product rejected pursuant to this Section 5.13(b) and if
Eyetech has paid for quantities of Product rejected pursuant to this Section
5.13(b) at the time Eyetech rejects such quantities, Gilead shall, in addition
to reimbursing Eyetech for API in accordance with Section 11.3, at Eyetech's
option either reimburse Eyetech for the amount paid for such quantities of
Product rejected pursuant to this Section 5.13(b) or credit such payment against
Eyetech's obligations with respect to future Orders.
(c) Replacement of Product Rejected for Non-Compliance with Product
Warranty. If requested by Eyetech, Gilead shall replace any Product rejected
pursuant to Section 5.13(b) as soon as practicable and in no case later than
forty-five (45) days following receipt of Eyetech's notice of rejection with
respect thereto, and Eyetech will pay the applicable Price therefor in
accordance with this Agreement. In addition to any other rights or remedies of
Eyetech hereunder, Eyetech shall have the right to set off any refund relating
to paid invoices for any rejected shipped Product for which it has been finally
determined pursuant to Section 5.10 that such rejection was proper against
invoices otherwise due or that become due to Gilead.
(d) The provisions of this Section 5.13 shall survive termination or
expiration of this Agreement with respect to shipments of Product Manufactured
by Gilead that are delivered to or sold by Eyetech subsequent to the termination
or expiration of this Agreement; provided, that (i) for any Product rejected
subsequent to the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Eyetech, in lieu
of having Gilead replace such rejected and/or missing quantities of Product, may
elect in its sole discretion to have Gilead reimburse Eyetech for the last
applicable Price for the quantity of Product to be replaced (including any
reasonable applicable freight charges) by Eyetech or a
21
third party selected by Eyetech, and (ii) for any Product rejected subsequent to
the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Eyetech shall permit Gilead to
replace such rejected and/or missing quantities of Product unless Gilead no
longer has the capabilities to do so and shall have the right to require Gilead
to reimburse Eyetech for the last applicable Price for the quantity of Product
to be replaced (including any reasonable applicable freight charges) by Eyetech
or a third party selected by Eyetech if Gilead does not have such capabilities
or if Gilead fails to replace such rejected and/or missing quantities in
accordance with Section 5.13(c).
5.14. Customer Complaints and Inquiries.
Eyetech or Gilead, as the case may be, shall give the other party written notice
within forty-eight (48) hours of initial receipt of any information it receives
regarding the safety of the Product, including any confirmed or unconfirmed
information on adverse events possibly associated with the use of the Product;
provided that Eyetech's obligation to provide Gilead with such notices shall be
limited to information received by Eyetech that Eyetech determines relates to,
or is reasonably likely to relate to, the Specifications or Gilead's
Manufacturing activities under this Agreement. Eyetech or Gilead, as the case
may be, shall notify the other party of any complaint or investigation relating
to the Product promptly upon receipt; provided, that, all complaints concerning
suspected or actual Product tampering, contamination or mix-up (e.g., wrong
ingredients) shall be delivered within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt. Gilead
shall provide all assistance reasonably requested by Eyetech in investigating
customer complaints regarding the Product (including testing of the Product in
accordance with Eyetech's specifications) that, in Eyetech's reasonable opinion,
caused by the Manufacturing of such Product. Such testing shall be at Eyetech's
expense unless it is finally determined pursuant to Section 5.10 that such
Product did not comply with the Product Warranty. Eyetech shall be responsible
for responding to all customers' inquiries and/or complaints relating to the
Product and the recordkeeping relating thereto. Gilead and Eyetech shall also
comply with the requirements set forth in the Quality Agreement relating to the
investigation of customer complaints. Eyetech and Gilead shall each provide the
other with copies of any annual reports relating to the Product that it is
required to submit to the FDA; provided that each party shall be entitled to
redact from such copies confidential information that is not reasonably related
to the other party's ongoing performance of its activities with respect to the
Product.
5.15. Government Inspections, Seizures and Recalls.
(a) If the FDA or any other Governmental Authority conducts an
inspection at Gilead's Facility pertaining to the Product, seizes any Product
and/or its materials, requests a Recall of any Product, or otherwise notifies
Gilead of any violation or potential violation of any Applicable Law, Eyetech
shall be notified immediately, and Gilead shall take actions as may be required
under the Specifications or otherwise as may be commercially reasonable way to
resolve the issue to both parties' reasonable satisfaction.
(b) As applicable, Gilead shall promptly send any reports relating to
such inspections, Recalls or violations or potential violations of Applicable
Law to Eyetech. In the event that any such Governmental Authority requests, but
does not seize, the Product in connection with any
22
such inspection, Gilead, as the case may be (i) shall promptly notify Eyetech of
such request, (ii) if possible, shall satisfy such request only after receiving
Eyetech's approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed),
(iii) shall follow any reasonable procedures instructed by Eyetech in responding
to such request and (iv) shall promptly send any samples of the Product
requested by the authority to Eyetech. In any case, Gilead will comply with all
Applicable Laws.
(c) If the Product supplied by Gilead to Eyetech does not comply with
the Product Warranty, other than non-compliance due to API that was
non-compliant with the applicable specifications when received by Gilead in a
manner that could not reasonably be detected by the required testing, Gilead
shall be responsible for costs reasonably required to effect the Recall of any
affected Product or other reasonably necessary corrective measures taken with
respect thereto. Gilead shall be responsible for pursuing all resolutions with
the applicable supplier of non-complying Product Materials.
5.16. Quality Agreement.
The parties agree to be bound by the Quality Agreement. In the event there is a

breach of Gilead's representations, warranties and covenants in Section 6.1; (b)
any actual or alleged injury to Person or property or death occurring to any
employees, subcontractors, agents of Gilead, or any individuals on the premises
of Gilead (other than injuries due to API defects existing upon receipt by
Gilead); (c) product liability arising out of or resulting from failure by
Gilead to Manufacture the Product in accordance with the Specifications; or (d)
any negligent act or omission on the part of any Gilead Indemnified Party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that Gilead shall not
have an obligation of defense or indemnity for Claims or Proceedings or be
liable for Losses to the extent that Eyetech has an obligation of defense or
indemnity for Claims or Proceedings or is liable for Losses pursuant to Section
9.2. Except with respect to Losses arising out of or resulting from third party
claims or Gilead's gross negligence or intentional misconduct, in no event shall
Gilead's liability under this Section 9.1 exceed $[**] per occurrence

Eyetech shall indemnify and hold Gilead, its Affiliates and its respective
officers, directors, employees and agents (each, a "Gilead Indemnified Party")
harmless from and against any and all Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by
any Gilead Indemnified Party by reason of any Claim or Proceeding to the extent

warranties in Section 6.2; (b) any manufacture, packaging, labeling, testing,
use, handling, storage, transport, disposition, marketing, distribution, and
commercialization of API (prior to receipt by Gilead) or Products (following
delivery by Gilead) unless such Claim or Proceeding arises out of or results
from Gilead delivering Product which does not conform with the Specifications
and such failure results from Gilead's failure to deliver such Product in
conformance with the Product Warranty and not from any defect in the API
existing prior to receipt thereof by Gilead; (c) any actual or alleged injury to
Person or property or death occurring to any employees, subcontractors, agents
of Eyetech, or any individuals on the premises of Eyetech; or (d) any negligent
act or omission on the part of any Eyetech Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that Eyetech shall not have an
obligation of defense or indemnity for Claims or Proceedings or be liable for
Losses to the extent that Gilead has an obligation of defense or indemnity for
Claims or Proceedings or is liable for Losses pursuant to Section 9.1.
32
9.3. Assertion of Claim.
The indemnification provisions set forth in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 above are
conditioned upon the party claiming indemnification (i) promptly furnishing the
other party with written notice of each Claim or Proceeding by reason of which
there may be a Loss for which indemnity will be claimed, (ii) permitting the
indemnifying party to assume the defense and/or settlement of such Claim or
Proceeding at its sole cost and expense, and (iii) cooperating at the other
party's reasonable request and expense in such defense and/or settlement. The
indemnified party may hire counsel of its choice at its own cost and participate
in the defense. In no event shall either party institute, settle or otherwise
resolve any Claim or Proceeding that involves other than payment of monetary
damages without the prior written consent of the other party, not to be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
9.4 Limitation of Liability.
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, and except for breach of
confidentiality obligations, neither party shall be liable to the other party
(and Gilead shall not be liable to the Sublicensee or any Affiliate of Eyetech
or the Sublicensee) for lost profits or for any indirect, incidental,
consequential, special, punitive or exemplary damages of the other party (or of
the Sublicensee or any Affiliate of Eyetech or the Sublicensee) pursuant to or
relating to this Agreement, however caused, under any theory of liability.
It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of either party
under Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of this Agreement to indemnify for Losses shall not
be limited by this Section 9.4.
9.5. Survival.
The provisions of this Section 9 shall survive termination or expiration of this
Agreement.
SECTION 10. INSURANCE.
10.1. Insurance.
Each party shall obtain and keep in force throughout the Term of this Agreement
and for a period of three (3) years from the date of the last delivery of
Product to Eyetech hereunder, policies of insurance from carriers reasonably
acceptable to the other party providing coverage as specified in Section 10.2.
Each party shall require its subcontractors (to the extent approved hereunder)
or, in the case of Eyetech, its Sublicensee, other sublicensees and
distributors, to provide the coverage as specified in Section 10.2, and any
deficiencies in the coverage or policy limits of said subcontractors,
sublicensees or distributors will be the sole responsibility of such party. The
provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or termination of
this Agreement.
10.2 Coverage.
33
Each party shall acquire and maintain at its sole cost and expense (i)
Statutory Worker's Compensation Insurance and Employer's Liability Insurance;
and (ii) Comprehensive General Liability Insurance, including Contract
Liability, Product Liability, Bodily Injury and Property Damage Insurance (with
a Broad Form Vendor's Endorsement naming the other party, its subsidiaries and
affiliated companies and the officers, directors, employees and agents thereof,
as well as its authorized distributors and customers, as additional insureds)
with a combined single limit of not less than $[**]. Each party shall
require its subcontractors, to the extent approved hereunder, and, in the case
of Eyetech, its Sublicensee, to provide coverages with a combined single limit
of not less than $1,000,000.
10.3. Certificates of Insurance; Maintenance of Coverage.
Each party shall submit a certificate of such insurance (which shall include
such information as set forth in Section 10.2) to the other party for its
approval as of the Effective Date. Any failure of a party to furnish such
certificate within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date shall be a material
breach of this Agreement.
SECTION 11. TITLE, RISK OF LOSS AND REIMBURSEMENT.
11.1. Testing.
Gilead shall undertake testing of each shipment of API if required by the
Specifications. If the API does not meet the specifications, Gilead will
promptly inform Eyetech and Gilead shall be excused from its obligation to
supply Product to Eyetech until sufficient quantities of API meeting the
Specifications are delivered to Gilead. Upon such delivery of replacement API,
Gilead will use commercially reasonable efforts to supply Product to Eyetech
within ninety (90) days taking into account Gilead's firm plans and commitments
for manufacturing its own and third parties' products at the Facility. To the
extent Gilead has existing stock of API which conforms to the approved
Specifications and is reasonably sufficient for Manufacture of one or more whole
batches of Product, nothing in the forgoing shall relieve Gilead of its
obligation to supply such batch(es) of Product deriving from such conforming
API, provided, however, that Gilead shall not be in breach of this Agreement for
failure to supply future batches of Product if such failure results from
Eyetech's or Eyetech's vendor's failure to replenish within an appropriate time
Gilead's stock of API conforming to the approved Specifications.
11.2. Title and Risk of Loss.
(a) Title to the API supplied by Eyetech shall remain with Eyetech;
however, risk of loss for API inventory levels agreed pursuant to Section 5.4(a)
shall pass to Gilead at the time API arrives at Gilead's Facilities; provided
that Gilead's liability for loss of API shall be subject to the limitation set
forth in Section 11.3(b). Gilead shall not use API supplied by Eyetech for any
purposes other than those related to the Manufacture of the Product for supply
to Eyetech pursuant hereto.
34
(b) The risk of loss or damage to API during the storage thereof by Gilead
shall be solely with Gilead for inventory levels thereof agreed pursuant to
Section 5.4(a). In the event of such loss or damage, Gilead will purchase from
Eyetech, and Eyetech will sell to Gilead any API required for replacement
thereof at a price equivalent to Eyetech's replacement costs.
11.3 Reimbursement for Loss of API; Non-Complying Product.
(a) Subject to Section 11.3(b), Gilead will reimburse Eyetech for
Eyetech's out of pocket costs for API per batch (pro-rated over the usable
portion of the batch if applicable) for any batch that does not meet
Specifications prior to or as of delivery by Gilead and therefore can not be
released, and Gilead will be responsible for all of Gilead's costs of
Manufacture of such batch (pro-rated over the usable portion of the batch if
applicable), in each case to the extent that such failure to meet Specifications
was caused by: (A) a breach of this Agreement by Gilead; (B) the negligence of
Gilead, or (C) willful misconduct of Gilead.
(b) Gilead shall not be liable or responsible for any reimbursement of API
costs or for any costs of Manufacture pursuant to Section 11.3(a) for any batch
or partial batch quantity that does not meet Specifications as of delivery by
Gilead in excess of [**]. Disputes between the parties as to whether all or
any part of a shipment rejected by Eyetech conforms with the Product
Specifications shall be resolved pursuant to Sections 5.10 and 5.13.
SECTION 12. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
12.1 Confidentiality of Information.
In performing the obligations under this Agreement, each party shall come in
contact with certain confidential and proprietary information of the other party
that should reasonably be believed by the receiving party to be confidential and
proprietary to the other party ("Information"). Each party agrees that it will
(and will cause each of its representatives, employees and agents to):
(a) use such Information obtained from the other party hereunder only in
connection with the activities to be undertaken by each party as contemplated
and permitted hereunder;
(b) use its commercially reasonable efforts (but in no event lesser
efforts than it uses to so safeguard its own confidential and proprietary
information) to restrict disclosure of such Information within its own
organization to those of its Affiliates, the Sublicensee (in the case of
Eyetech), employees, independent contractors, and legal and legal and financial
advisors who have a reasonable need to know for purposes of enabling such party
to perform its obligations under this Agreement and who are subject to binding
obligations of confidentiality at least as protective as those of this Section
12; and
35
(c) not divulge to third parties, without the prior written consent of the
other party, any Information obtained from the other party hereunder.
12.2 Exceptions.
The confidentiality and limited use obligations of Section 12.1 shall not apply
if and to the extent that:
(a) the Information is known to the receiving party prior to obtaining the
same from the disclosing party, as demonstrated by the receiving party's written
records;
(b) the Information is, at the time of disclosure, in the public domain,
or comes into the public domain without any fault of the receiving party (or,
where the receiving party is Eyetech, its Affiliates or the Sublicensee);
(c) the Information is obtained by the receiving party from a third party
who is not obligated to keep the Information confidential;
(d) the Information is independently developed by the receiving party
and/or by any of its Affiliates (or, where the receiving party is Eyetech, by
the Sublicensee), as demonstrated by the receiving party's written records; or
(e) the Information is disclosed pursuant to court order or as otherwise
required by law; provided, however, that: (i) the receiving party (A) gives the
disclosing party prompt written notice of such required disclosure and (B)
assists the disclosing party in its reasonable efforts to prevent or limit such
disclosure; and (ii) any Information disclosed pursuant to this Section 12.2.(e)
shall otherwise remain Information for the purposes of this Agreement.
12.3 Return or Destruction.
Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, each party shall return to the
other party, or by mutual agreement, destroy all Information of the other party
and all copies, extracts, and summaries thereof, provided that it may retain one
(1) copy thereof in its legal archives solely for the purpose of ensuring
compliance with its surviving obligations under this Section 12.
12.4 Terms of Agreement.
Neither party shall disclose or refer to the existence or terms of this
Agreement in any public statements, whether oral or written, but not limited to,
annual reports or shareholder reports, statements to other customers or
prospective customers or other communications, without the other party's prior
written consent except to the extent that such party, in its reasonable opinion,
determines that such disclosure is required by law. Nothing in this Section 12.4
shall restrict a party from disclosing this Agreement to its Affiliates or, in
the case of Eyetech, to the Sublicensee.
36
12.5 Survival.
The provisions of this Section 12 shall survive the termination or expiration of
this Agreement for a period of five (5) years.

the Initial Term the parties shall discuss extending this Agreement for a
further period of twelve months. Thereafter the Agreement may be extended by

Agreement by Gilead if Gilead fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days
after receipt of written notice thereof; or
(d) upon written notice to Gilead given within sixty (60) days of the
relevant event, with immediate effect, if at any time during the Term, Gilead

where a competitor is a manufacturer, supplier and/or distributor of products
competitive with the Product; or
(e) after three (3) years, upon at least six (6) months prior written

(g) upon the events giving rise to a right of termination pursuant to
Section 14.1.
13.3 Termination by Gilead.
This Agreement may be terminated by Gilead:
(a) upon a material breach of this Agreement by Eyetech if Eyetech fails

thereof; or
(b) upon the events giving rise to a right of termination pursuant to
Section 14.1.
13.4. Effect of Termination.
(a) Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not affect rights

termination of this Agreement shall not affect any obligation to pay money due
hereunder, indemnify, or maintain confidentiality, which either party hereto may
have incurred during the Term hereof. Termination pursuant to this Section 13
shall be in addition to, and not in place of, a party's other rights and causes
of action which were in existence prior to such termination.
(b) Within a reasonable time after Eyetech gives notice of termination
pursuant to the provisions of Sections 13.2(b), (c), (d), (e) or (f), Eyetech

the effective date of termination a percentage of the Price appropriate to
fairly compensate Gilead for lost profits on any such Orders.
13.5. Return of Materials, etc. Supplied by Eyetech.
