This Post-Acquisition Supply Agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) made and entered into effective as of March 18, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), is between Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Laboratories, Inc., a Delaware corporation(“HJL”), with its address at 00 Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, and LeMaitre Vascular, Inc., a Delaware corporation(“LMAT”), with an address at 00 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000 (hereinafter sometimes individually or collectively referred to as a “Party” or the “Parties,” respectively) . All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Asset Purchase Agreement (defined hereinafter).
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated of even date between the Parties, LMAT acquired certain assets of HJL;
WHEREAS, in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, HJL and LMAT desire to enter into this Supply Agreement, whereby HJL will be the contract manufacturer of the Products for LMAT post-Closing, all as further set forth in this Supply Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements contained herein, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
SCOPE OF AGREEMENT
1.1. | This Supply Agreement applies to the post-Closing supply of Products by HJL to LMAT in accordance with the terms of this Supply Agreement. |
ARTICLE 2
REGULATORY
2.1. | Medical Device Establishment Registration. During the term of this Supply Agreement or as required by law, which ever date is later, HJL shall continue to maintain a Medical Device Establishment Registration and Listing (as defined under the United States Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended from time to time (the “Act”)) as the contract manufacturer. |
2.2 | Regulatory Approvals/Clearances. LMAT shall be responsible, at its sole expense, for filing and obtaining and maintaining (including development of and compliance with necessary quality programs) any further authorizations from regulatory authorities worldwide, including the FDA and the appropriate competent authority or Notified Body, attendant to or necessary for the commercialization of the Products in any jurisdiction. Except as otherwise required by law or agreed by the Parties, LMAT shall be responsible for all dealings with the FDA, or the appropriate competent authority or Notified Body, including but not limited to notifications, medical device vigilance, and national labeling issues. |
2.2. | Registrations/Listings. Within a reasonable time post-Closing as agreed to by the Parties, HJL will take all steps reasonably necessary to update FURLS (FDA Unified Registration and Listing Systems) regarding the change in HJL’s responsibility for the Products from a manufacturer of record to a contract manufacturer. LMAT is responsible for re-listing such Products. Further, on and after the Effective Date, LMAT shall be legally responsible for all post-market surveillance activities, customer service, reporting and all other regulatory filings and compliance requirements for the Products. |
2.3. | Manufacturing Compliance. If HJL determines that its manufacturing, quality systems, post-market surveillance activities, or any portion thereof, are not in compliance with any Applicable Law, it shall promptly notify LMAT in writing within three business days of such determination. In such written notification, HJL shall provide to LMAT an explanation and description of such non-compliance and an explanation of the controls that will be implemented or actions that will be or already have been taken to correct the non-compliance. |
2.4. | Traceability. For as long as required by law or to fulfill the obligations under this Supply Agreement, whichever is longer, each Party will maintain adequate records to permit the Parties to trace the manufacture of the Product and the distribution and use of the Product. Additionally, within 5 business days of the end of each calendar month, HJL shall prepare and send to LMAT a report listing the following information with respect to any implant registration cards received by HJL during such calendar month: 1) serial number; 2) model number; 3) patient ID #; 4) physician last name; 5) Product implant date; and 6) hospital name, city and state; in each case to the extent that the underlying implant cards contain such information. |

2.5 | Remedial Actions. HJL will immediately notify LMAT, and promptly confirm such notice in writing, if it determines or is instructed by a regulatory body that any of the Products are or may be subject to recall, field corrective action, stock recovery or other post-distribution regulatory action with respect to a Product taken either by virtue of applicable federal, state, foreign, or other law or regulation or good business judgment (a “Remedial Action”). LMAT will be responsible for, and HJL will assist as requested by LMAT, in gathering and evaluating such information as may be helpful to determine the necessity of conducting a Remedial Action; provided that LMAT shall have sole responsibility for collecting information from its customers, including customer complaints. LMAT will determine in its sole discretion whether to commence any Remedial Action with respect to the Product and HJL shall fully cooperate in such Remedial Action. If LMAT determines in its sole discretion that any Remedial Action with respect to the Product should be commenced or if a Remedial Action is required by any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the matter, LMAT will control and coordinate all efforts necessary to conduct such Remedial Action. If LMAT conducts any Remedial Action related to the Product and HJL is determined by LMAT in its sole discretion to be responsible for the issue requiring the Remedial Action (e.g., a problem arises from faulty manufacture), HJL, at LMAT’s option, will either issue a credit to LMAT or reimburse LMAT for the sales price of all LMAT devices recalled in such Remedial Action and the other reasonable costs incurred by LMAT associated with such Remedial Action. LMAT shall have responsibility for managing corrective and preventive action (“CAPA”) as defined in the Act. |
2.6 | Complaints and Medical Device Reporting. Each Party will comply with applicable provisions of the 21 CFR Part 820 Quality System Regulation and 21 CFR Part 803 Medical Device Reporting systems, and each Party will cooperate with the other for the timely compliance therewith. HJL agrees to notify LMAT within two business days of receipt of any information that reasonably suggests a complaint or Medical Device Report (“MDR”) relating to the Product has occurred. LMAT agrees to notify HJL within a reasonable period of time of receipt of any information that reasonably suggests a MOR relating to the Product has occurred. HJL will investigate any such complaints or MDRs/Vigilance Reports and forward to LMAT its determinations and conclusions relating to the complaint or MOR. HJL shall investigate all instances of an alleged product failure or product inadequacy documented by LMAT and forwarded by LMAT for investigation. HJL shall provide a written summary of the findings from such investigation and status and ongoing actions to LMAT within seven calendar days following the date that HJL is informed of such complaint or MOR and every 14 calendar days thereafter until the complaint or MOR is formally closed. LMAT shall have sole responsibility for filing the MOR with the appropriate regulatory agency. |
2.7 | Vigilance Reporting. HJL will notify LMAT in writing if a Vigilance Report is required to be filed with respect to the Product. LMAT will be responsible for complying with Vigilance Reporting requirements for the Product. |
2.8. | LMAT Audits. HJL will give LMAT reasonable access to its manufacturing laboratories, supplier, inventory, shipping, and quality procedures and records and facilities to allow LMAT to conduct full compliance audits relating to the Product, its manufacture, and the Product’s regulatory and quality status, at LMAT’s expense, as reasonably deemed necessary by LMAT, but no more frequently than twice in any 12 month period, unless LMAT determines in good faith that exceptional circumstances require more frequent audits. The audit may include, without limitation, records relating to manufacturing compliance with the Specifications (as defined in the Act), compliance with quality control and inspection reports procedures, compliance with GMP/QSR Regulations and regulatory compliance. Such audits will be conducted during HJL’s normal business hours, with at least three business days’ prior written notice to HJL by LMAT. HJL will make its personnel available to LMAT in connection with such audits. LMAT will provide to HJL the audit findings of observations to which HJL will respond within 10 business days with its evaluation of the findings detailing corrective actions with follow-up reports every 30 calendar days until the observations have been formally closed or will inform LMAT in writing of the reasons why HJL believes a corrective action is not required. LMAT will be given access to audit all corrective actions. |

2.9 | Regulatory Inspections. HJL will promptly notify LMAT of any planned or unannounced inspection of its facilities manufacturing the Product or any component part of a Product by the FDA, CE Xxxx certification organization or other federal, state, local, or other regulatory agency which relates to the manufacture, assembly, packaging or regulatory status of the Product and regularly provide LMAT with information about the progress and outcome of such inspection, including, without limitation, copies of any notice of observations or warnings and copies of HJL responses to these inspection reports or warnings, including, requests for Remedial Action, resulting CAPAs, supporting attachments or other related documentation. |
2.10 | Additional Quality Requirements. HJL shall comply with those additional quality requirements set forth in Exhibit A. |
2.11 | HJL Cooperation: HJL shall cooperate with LMAT to the fullest extent possible as reasonably requested by LMAT regarding any matter set forth in this Article 2. This shall include, without limitation, cooperation in the following: (a) LMAT’s preparation and filing of any regulatory submissions in any jurisdiction, including preparing or providing the documentation necessary for all proposed filings with any regulatory agency worldwide, including with the FDA or the appropriate competent authority or Notified Body; (b) any clinical trials or investigations or follow-up from such clinical trials or investigations; (c) registrations and listings under paragraph 2.2 above; (d) remedial actions and CAPAS, under paragraph 2.3 above; and (e) Complaints, Medical Device Reports, Vigilance Reports, Audits and Regulatory Inspections, under paragraphs 2.6 to 2.9 above. |

3.1. | Purchase Orders. On the Effective Date, LeMaitre shall submit a purchase order to HJL in the form attached as Exhibit B (the “Initial Purchase Order”). LMAT shall submit purchase orders to HJL for the Products pursuant to Section 3.3. Each purchase order shall cover the portion of the forecast that has become a firm order under Section 3.3 of this Supply Agreement and shall, at a minimum, include: (a) identification of the Products ordered; (b) quantity; (c) delivery date; and (d) shipping instructions and shipping address. |
3.2. | Acceptance of Orders. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.4, all purchase orders issued in accordance with this Supply Agreement shall be automatically accepted by HJL. Except for the Initial Purchase Order, purchase orders for the Products must be received by HJL at least 30 calendar days prior to delivery date requested. Each purchase order shall be deemed to be an offer by LMAT to purchase the Products pursuant to the terms of this Supply Agreement and shall give rise to a contract between LMAT and HJL for the sale of the Products ordered and shall be subject to and governed by the terms of this Supply Agreement solely and to no other terms, including the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code. The terms and conditions of this Supply Agreement shall govern and supersede any additional or contrary terms set forth in LMAT’s purchase order or any HJL or LMAT acceptance, confirmation, invoice, or other document, unless the specific additional or contrary terms are stated in writing and duly signed by authorized officers of LMAT and HJL. With each lot of Products manufactured by HJL, HJL shall supply to LMAT documentation certifying in writing that each shipment of Products complies with (i) the then-current Specifications (as agreed upon by the Parties) and with the testing procedures described therein; and (ii) all other documentation required by LMAT. |
3.3. | Forecasts. Commencing within 10 business days after the Effective Date of this Supply Agreement, LMAT shall provide to HJL a written, rolling six-month forecast (with such first forecast to be for less than six months if the first forecast is not issued at the beginning of a calendar quarter). HJL shall not be required to deliver to LMAT more than 175 units in any thirty day period without HJL’s prior consent. The first three months of each forecast shall constitute a firm order to purchase the units of the Products specified in the forecast, and LMAT shall subsequently issue purchase orders consistent with these firm orders. The balance of each forecast shall constitute a non-binding good faith estimate of expected orders for Products. |

3.4. | Order Limitations. HJL shall maintain an adequate inventory of the Products and shall notify LMAT within two calendar days in writing upon becoming aware of any actual or potential interruption in supply. HJL shall not be required to deliver quantities in excess of 120% of forecasted requirements unless HJL has been given at least 90 calendar days advance written notice of the quantities to be delivered which exceed the forecasted amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, HJL shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to supply quantities in excess of 120% of forecasted requirements that were given with less than 90 calendar days advance notice. |
3.5. | Modification of Orders. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.4, no purchase order shall be modified or canceled except upon the mutual agreement of the Parties, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld by either Party. Mutually agreed upon change orders shall be subject to all provisions of this Supply Agreement, whether or not the changed purchase order so states. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any purchase order may be canceled by LMAT as to any Products which are not delivered within five calendar days of the delivery date requested by LMAT pursuant to a purchase order submitted to HJL under Section 3.1 and accepted by HJL under Section 3.2 (the “Requested Delivery Date”), and any such cancellation shall not limit or affect any contract remedies available to LMAT with respect thereto. |
3.6. | Shipment. All Products sold by HJL to LMAT shall be shipped by HJL free on board (“F.O.B.”) LMAT’s facility (the “Destination”) addressed to LMAT’s address (or such other address as set forth by LMAT). HJL shall bear all risk of loss until HJL delivers the Products to the Destination and they are received by LMAT. HJL shall pay all loading, freight, shipping, insurance, forwarding and handling charges, fees, storage, and all other charges applicable to the Products to facilitate delivery of the Products to the Destination. |
3.7. | Inspection. HJL will inspect, test and certify the Product to specifications required by the approved device master record and listed on the Certificate of Analysis identified in Exhibit C. Upon notification to HJL, LMAT will have the right to reject any lot that contains Product that does not meet the Specifications (“Nonconforming Product”). LMAT will provide HJL with information as to the reason for the rejection of the Nonconforming Product including a description of the test procedure and results, if any, on which the rejection is based (i) within 60 calendar days of receipt therefor with respect to nonconformities that can be discovered with reasonable diligence, and (ii) for all other Nonconforming Products, within 45 calendar days after LMAT discovered or was informed by a third party or should have discovered the nonconformity. HJL will instruct LMAT as to the disposal or return of Nonconforming Product. In the event of Nonconforming Product(s), HJL will be responsible for return shipping charges. LMAT may issue a debit memorandum to HJL, which HJL will honor promptly for LMAT’s benefit, for the purchase price, freight, and related costs of the Nonconforming Product, and HJL will promptly replace the Nonconforming Product and invoice LMAT for the Product shipped to replace the Nonconforming Product at the time of shipment of the replacement product. |
3.8. | Process. Material or Labeling Changes. |
(a) | No material changes, modifications, deviations, or exceptions to the Specifications, materials, or fabrication, manufacturing, or packaging processes in effect as of the date hereof may be made without LMAT’s prior consent and 60 calendar days’ prior written notice of the proposed change by HJL to LMAT. | |
(b) | Any such material, process or labeling changes, modifications, deviations, or exceptions proposed to be implemented by HJL shall be subject to prior LMAT regulatory review of HJL’s determination of significance and shall not be implemented for at least such 60 day period or longer as required to address LMAT’s concerns, if any, including obtaining any necessary regulatory approvals prior to implementing such changes. |
