5.4 Testing and Rejection of Delivered Product.(a) JMED shall be

delivered to it hereunder in order to determine whether such Product complies
with the Specifications and the Analysis Certificate; however, JMED shall have
no obligation to test or inspect any such Product supplied by Lilly and may
rely on the Analysis Certificate provided with each shipment of Product. In
the event JMED tests or inspects any Product delivered to it and such Product
fails to conform to the Specifications or the Analysis Certificate, then JMED
shall have the right to reject any such Product, or the entire lot of any such
Product, by giving written notice thereof to Lilly. Lilly shall use reasonable
efforts to replace the rejected Product within the shortest possible time with
Product which meets the Specifications and Lilly shall deliver such replacement
Product, at its sole cost and expense, to JMED. If so requested by JMED,
rather than replacing the non-complying Product, Lilly shall credit the account
of JMED for all such rejected Product. In addition, Lilly shall, at its sole
cost and expense, arrange for all such noncomplying Product to be picked up
promptly and destroyed in accordance with all Applicable Laws. JMED shall have
no responsibility to Lilly for the purchase prices of noncomplying Product but
shall pay Lilly the purchase price for the replacement Product within thirty
(30) days of delivery thereof.
(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, if JMED and Lilly disagree
on whether any Product complies with the Specifications or on the methods for
or results of testing of any Product, an independent laboratory which is
acceptable to both parties shall be asked to test the Product in dispute
("Disputed Product"). To the extent such laboratory finds that the Disputed
Product meets the Specifications, JMED shall pay the fees of such laboratory
related to such testing and shall promptly pay for the Disputed Product. To
the extent that such laboratory finds that the
7
8
Disputed Product fails to meet the Specifications, Lilly shall pay the fees of
such laboratory related to such testing and shall either (i) replace or rework
the Disputed Product in accordance with the preceding subsection (a), or (ii)
credit JMED's account, whichever JMED shall so select.
(c) In the event JMED does not test or inspect Product delivered to it
and said Product (the "Suspect Product") is subsequently the subject of a claim
for Damages, then in order to determine whether the Suspect Product complies
with the Specifications, Lilly shall test Lilly's "House Sample" taken at the
time the Suspect Product was manufactured in order to determine whether said
Suspect Product complies with the Specifications. If Lilly determines that the
"House Sample" does not comply with Specifications, then Lilly shall be
responsible for the claim for Damages with respect to the Suspect Product, and
in the event that Lilly determines that the "House Sample" complies with the
Specifications, then JMED shall be responsible for the claim for Damages. The
accuracy of all lab tests shall be certified by an officer of Lilly and Lilly
shall provide JMED with a copy of all laboratory results and reports. Lilly
shall also furnish JMED with a sample of the House Sample on request.
SECTION 6. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Parties.
6.1 Product Specifications and Delivery; Authorization.(a) Lilly hereby

reason shall not relieve the parties of any obligation accruing prior thereto
and shall be without prejudice to the rights and remedies of either party with
respect to any antecedent breach of the provisions of this Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as otherwise provided
herein, no termination of this Agreement shall serve to terminate the

party. Any mediator so designated must be acceptable to both
parties.

which is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies
available to the Non-Breaching Party at law or in equity: (i) the right and
remedy to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court of

the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury to the Non-Breaching
Party and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to the Non-
Breaching Party; (ii) the right and remedy to require the Breaching Party to
account for and pay over to the Non-Breaching Party, all compensation, profits,
monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by the
Breaching Party and/or by any other Person as the result of, or in any way
incident to any conduct or transactions constituting a breach of the
Restrictive Covenants; and/or (iii) the right to cease paying royalties or
other amounts due under this Agreement. It is further agreed that the amount

any equitable relief sought hereunder shall not exceed $5,000 and that said
amount shall be deemed reasonable and proper.
(b) Lilly acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are
reasonable in geographical and temporal scope and in other respects. If any
court determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants shall not
thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the
invalid portions.
(c) If any court determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or
any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration or geographic scope
of such provision, such court
17
18
shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision, as the
case may be, and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be

(vii) "Historical Monthly Sales" shall mean the average monthly sales
of Product in the United States by JMED (or by Lilly if the inability to supply
Product occurs during Deal Year 1) during the Measurement Period.
(b) In the event that during any of the first four (4) Deal Years (i)
Lilly is unable, during any such Deal Year, to supply Product to JMED up to
(but not to exceed) the Prior Level as a result
19
20
of an event of Force Majeure (as defined in Section 10.14), and (ii) as
a result of Lilly's inability to supply Product up to (but not to exceed) the
Prior Level for such Deal Year, JMED is unable to supply its customers with
Product, and (iii) JMED is otherwise in compliance with all of the material
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Licensing Agreement, then the
"risk sharing" formula ("Formula") set forth in paragraph (c) below shall
apply:
(c) (i) If JMED is unable to supply Product to its customers for
thirty (30) days or less (the "Short Period"), then Lilly shall reimburse JMED
an amount equal to 50% of JMED's lost Gross Margin (net of any proceeds of
business interruption insurance received by JMED) as a result of JMED's
inability during such Short Period to supply Product to its customers up to
(but not to exceed) the Prior Level, as measured by bona fide written purchase
orders for the Product submitted to JMED by such customers, such amount
reimbursable by Lilly not to exceed the At Risk Amount for the Deal Year during
which the Short Period occurs.
(ii) If JMED is unable to supply Product to its customers for more
than thirty (30) days, then Lilly shall reimburse JMED an amount equal to 50% of
JMED's lost Gross Margin (net of any proceeds of business interruption
insurance received by JMED) as a result of JMED's inability to supply Product
to its customers during any part of one or more Deal Years as measured (A) in
the first thirty (30) days as set forth above in subparagraph (i), and (B)
thereafter based upon the Historical Monthly Sales of Product multiplied by the
number of months contained in the Interrupted Period, such amount reimbursable
by Lilly not to exceed the At Risk Amount for each such Deal Year during which
the Interrupted Period occurs.
(iii) The reimbursable amounts payable by Lilly pursuant to this
paragraph (c) shall be paid to JMED monthly during the Interrupted Period until
all amounts payable hereunder have been paid.
20
21
(iv) The Formula shall never apply during any Deal Year after Lilly has
supplied to JMED in such Deal Year, Product equal to or greater than the Prior
Level.
(d) The parties hereto acknowledge that the Product is unique and that
JMED is entering into this Agreement and the Licensing Agreement on the
condition that Lilly will furnish Product to Lilly as set forth herein. As
such, in the event that Lilly is unable for the reasons hereinabove described
to supply Product to JMED as required by this Agreement, the parties have
agreed to a reimbursement to JMED as hereinbefore set forth, in addition to all
other rights and remedies available under this Agreement.
9.2 Due to Default. In the event that Lilly refuses or is unable or
unwilling to supply Product to JMED as required under this Agreement due to
reasons not constituting Force Majeure, then JMED shall be entitled to pursue
all of its rights and remedies available under this Agreement, and in addition,
during the period of such failure to supply Product, JMED may defer any
payments due and owing by JMED to Lilly pursuant to this Agreement, or the
Licensing Agreement until such time as Lilly resumes supplying Product to JMED
as required in this Agreement.
SECTION 10. Miscellaneous Provisions.
10.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and

written consent of the other, which consent may be withheld in the other's sole
discretion. Nothing set forth in this Section 10.1 shall prevent or restrict
either JMED or Lilly from assigning its rights and obligations under this
Agreement without the consent of the other (i) to its Affiliates (subject to
the consent of the other which said consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), or (ii) incident to the sale of all or substantially all of its
assets or stock, or (iii) incident to the merger or reorganization of said

agreements or understandings of the parties relating thereto.
10.5 Amendment. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by
written agreement of the parties hereto.

counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which

rules which may direct the application of the law of another state.
10.8 Captions. All section titles or captions contained in this

illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective
while this Agreement remains in effect, the legality, validity and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby, and
in lieu of each such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be
added automatically as a part of the document a provision that is legal, valid,
and enforceable, and as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision as may be possible while giving effect to the benefits
and burdens for which the parties have bargained hereunder.
10.14 Force Majeure. (a) If either party is prevented from
complying, either totally or in part with any of the terms or provisions set
forth herein, by reason of force majeure, including, by way of example and not
of limitation, fire, flood, explosion, storm, strike, lockout or other labor
dispute, riot, war, rebellion, accidents, acts of God, acts of governmental
agencies or instrumentalities, failure of suppliers (including, but not limited
to, shortages in bulk material) or any other external or non-negligent internal
cause or externally induced casualty beyond its
24
25
reasonable control, whether similar to the foregoing contingencies or not, said
party shall provide written notice of same to the other party. Said notice
shall be provided within fifteen (15) working days of the occurrence of such
event and shall identify the requirements of this Agreement or such of its
obligations as may be affected, and to the extent so affected, said obligations
shall be suspended during the period of such disability. If any raw materials,
facility systems or capacity is used for both the Product and any other
products or purposes (collectively, "Competing Products"), any necessary
allocation shall be made as between Lilly's and its Affiliates' needs, JMED's
needs and the needs of any other party to whom Lilly has firm contractual
obligations on a pro rata basis based on the Competing Products' respective
percentage contributions to the total gross amount invoiced by Lilly and its
Affiliates to unrelated third parties for sales of the Competing Products in
the twelve (12) months preceding the date of the event constituting force
majeure. The party prevented from performing hereunder shall use reasonable
efforts to remove such disability, and shall continue performance whenever such
causes are removed. The party so affected shall give to the other party a good
faith estimate of the continuing effect of the force majeure condition and the
duration of the affected party's nonperformance. When such circumstances as
those contemplated herein arise, the parties shall discuss in good faith, what,
if any, modification of the terms set forth herein may be required in order to
arrive at an equitable solution.
(b) If the period of any previous actual nonperformance of Lilly
because of Lilly force majeure conditions plus the anticipated future period of
Lilly nonperformance because of such conditions will exceed an aggregate of one
hundred eighty (180) days within any twenty-four (24) month period, JMED may
terminate this Agreement by notice to Lilly. The termination of this Agreement
by JMED as set forth in this paragraph (b) shall not affect the license by
Lilly to JMED of the Technology pursuant to Section 2.8 of the Licensing
Agreement, which said license shall remain in full force and effect. In
addition, prior to such termination, at JMED's request, Lilly shall use
reasonable efforts to assist JMED in obtaining any all rights, licenses,
approvals and consents as may be necessary, as reasonably determined by JMED,
in order to enable JMED to manufacture, or have manufactured for it, the
Product in the United States. JMED shall reimburse Lilly for all of Lilly's
reasonable costs in connection therewith.
25
26
(c) If the period of any previous actual nonperformance of JMED because
of JMED force majeure conditions plus the anticipated future period of JMED
nonperformance because of such conditions will exceed an aggregate of one
hundred eighty (180) days within any twenty-four (24) month period, Lilly may
terminate this Agreement by notice to JMED.
10.15 Survival of Representations. Each of the representations and
warranties made in this Agreement shall survive the execution hereof pursuant
to the provisions of this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as
