AFP shall perform its activities in accordance with professional standards and practices including, but not limited to cGMP. AFP shall provide cGMP facilities as well as resources for such services including, but not limited to testing, release, storage, and manufacture of the Product. MannKind shall provide AFP, upon request and only for use in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with any and all Technical Information of MannKind that AFP reasonably determines it may need to manufacture and supply the Product. Any distribution or sales by MannKind of the Product or the MannKind Product made using the Product shall be limited to the Territory until such time, if ever, as the geographical restrictions on the distribution and sale of the Product are no longer applicable under any third party license agreement with AFP.

(b) Manufacturing Site; Subcontracting. AFP shall manufacture the Product only at its facility in Eragny-Sur-Epte, France and shall not manufacture Product at any other site, except with MannKind’s prior written consent, which it may withhold in its reasonable discretion. AFP shall not delegate or subcontract the performance of activities under this Agreement to third party subcontractors, except with MannKind’s prior written consent, which it may withhold in its reasonable discretion, provided that, if MannKind provides consent to allow AFP to delegate or subcontract the performance of any such activities to a third party, such consent shall be subject to the condition that AFP shall control the performance of such activities and remains fully responsible to MannKind for the performance of such activities and any material breach of this Agreement by such third party subcontractor, and require that such third party subcontractor agrees in writing to comply with confidentiality restrictions at least as stringent as those set forth in this Agreement.

2.2 Project Team.

(a) Formation; Composition. The Parties shall form a team (“Project Team”), which shall be responsible for oversight of the activities under this Agreement. Each Party shall appoint to the Project Team an equal number of team members that have the requisite skills in the disciplines necessary for performance of activities under this Agreement. Each Party may change its Project Team members at any time by written notice to the other.

(b) Meetings. The Project Team shall meet at such times and locations as are agreeable to a majority of the Project Team members, but no less than once per year. Project Team meetings may take place in person or through video or telephone communications. At the initial meeting of the Project Team, the Project Team shall establish operating procedures for its meetings and activities.

2.3 Regular Communication. Each Party shall be available to the other Party for a reasonable number of telephone and written consultations on a schedule to be determined by mutual arrangement between the Parties.

AFP will provide MannKind with such information and data regarding the manufacture of Product to the extent necessary for MannKind and its Affiliates and licensees to prepare and defend any inquiries from regulatory authorities to satisfy regulatory requirements with respect to the Product. Only in the event that AFP needs to obtain third party services in order to support MannKind, its Affiliates, and licensee(s) to obtain or maintain approvals or permits with respect to the Product, as it specifically relates to the MannKind Product, MannKind and AFP agree to negotiate in good faith such services and the costs therefore.

2.5 Regulatory Compliance. In performing its obligations hereunder AFP shall comply with all applicable U.S. and foreign federal, state, municipal, or local laws, rules, regulations, orders, decisions or permits of any relevant jurisdiction relating to matters including, but not limited to employment, safety, health, environmental standards and requirements, non-discrimination, equal employment opportunity, import/export and privacy protection.

3.1 Purchase. Subject to contractual obligations of MannKind and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, AFP shall sell to MannKind and its Affiliates, and MannKind and its Affiliates shall purchase from AFP, at least the quantities of Product described in § 6.1.

3.2 Schedule for Delivery. Each year during the term of this Agreement, no later than December 1st, MannKind shall provide to AFP a schedule for delivery of the following calendar year’s annual Product Purchase Commitment Quantities. Annual Product quantities must be requested with multiple delivery dates, and in all cases, the deliveries requested for the quantities shall be whole batch quantities (or multiples thereof, as applicable). Such requested deliveries shall not exceed quantity of [***] kg of Product per delivery. AFP shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations with respect to quantity of Product if the actual quantity of Product supplied is within plus or minus [***] percent (+/- [***]%) of the quantity set forth in the applicable Purchase Order. No later than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the end of each Quarter during the Term, MannKind shall provide AFP with the forecasted schedule of delivery of the Product for the next successive four (4) Quarters (or until the Term ends if shorter), on a rolling basis, the first two (2) Quarters of which shall be broken down on a month-by-month basis (the “Forecast”). Each Forecast shall be deemed to be an update of any Forecast previously provided by MannKind to AFP during the Term. The first two (2) Quarters of each Forecast shall be binding (the “Firm Order Period”) and simultaneously with submission of the Forecast, MannKind shall submit any Purchase Order(s) for the quantities of the Product to be delivered during the second (2nd) Quarter of such Forecast (i.e., the last Quarter of the Firm Order Period). AFP will deliver the designated quantities to MannKind on the dates specified. Time is of the essence for delivery dates and quantities. If AFP cannot meet the dates specified or proposes alternate delivery dates, it must notify MannKind in writing within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of MannKind’s most recent Forecast. In no event shall any delivery be later than one (1) month beyond MannKind’s requested delivery date as long as the delivery per quarter of the Purchase Commitment Quantities does not exceed [***] kilograms ([***] kg).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the Purchase Commitment Quantity to be delivered in the 4th Quarter of 2014 and the 1st Quarter of 2015, MannKind shall issue a Purchase Order no later than thirty calendar days after execution of this Agreement (“Initial Order”). The Purchase Commitment Quantity of the Initial Order shall not be less than [***] kg for the 4th Quarter of 2014, except that the Purchase Commitment Quantity actually delivered under the Initial Order for the 4th Quarter of 2014 shall be limited by the amount that AFP can deliver in the 4th Quarter of 2014. The Purchase Commitment Quantity of the Initial Order for the 1st Quarter of 2015 shall not be less than [***] kg. For avoidance of doubt, the Purchase Commitment Quantity of the Initial Order shall not be less than [***] kg in total. MannKind and AFP shall mutually agree on specific delivery dates under the Initial Order, and, in the event AFP is unable to deliver the Purchase Commitment Quantity recited in the Initial Order for the 4th Quarter of 2014, MannKind and AFP shall mutually agree upon an altered quantity allocation of Product as between the 4th Quarter of 2014 and the 1st Quarter of 2015, which shall not be less than [***] kg total in any event.

3.3 Purchase Orders. MannKind shall issue Purchase Orders to AFP based on the Forecast provided to AFP in accordance with the terms of § 3.2. All orders shall be evidenced by specific and separate Purchase Orders issued by MannKind to AFP pursuant to this § 3.3. Purchase Orders for Product may be submitted by MannKind to AFP in writing, or electronically pursuant to a mutually agreed upon process. All Purchase Orders shall contain: (a) the quantities ordered; (b) the purchase price for Product ordered in accordance with § 6; (c) delivery dates; and (d) delivery address as well as any other appropriate instructions. If MannKind issues any such Purchase Orders, AFP shall inform MannKind in writing of its acceptance or rejection thereof; provided that AFP may not reject any Purchase Order for quantities ordered in accordance with § 6.1 where the delivery dates are in accordance with the terms of § 3.2. Any deviation from an agreed upon scheduled delivery date for Product shall occur only upon written approval by the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall take precedence over the terms and conditions set forth in any Purchase Order; in other words, no additional, ambiguous or inconsistent terms in any Purchase Orders or Purchase Order acknowledgements shall have any legal effect.

3.4 Notice of Potential Product Delivery Delays. If AFP is unable to provide to MannKind the quantities of Product in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, during any calendar year, then AFP shall inform MannKind in writing within ten (10) days of learning of such event. Such notice shall in no event be received by MannKind later than forty five (45) days prior to any delivery date, and AFP shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the condition that caused such delay.

3.5 Additional Quantity. MannKind may submit a written request to AFP for quantities of Product in addition to the quantities set forth in § 6.1 of this Agreement. AFP will use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to supply such additional quantities. AFP will respond in writing, within thirty (30) days, whether it can meet the additional quantities of Product. Upon agreement between AFP and MannKind of a specific quantity and delivery time, MannKind will submit a Purchase Order for such additional quantities of Product in accordance with the terms of § 3.3. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith the pricing for such additional quantities in no event shall the pricing be more than the amount as set forth in § 6.1.

4. Manufacture

4.1 Raw Materials. AFP shall be responsible for obtaining, and shall store at no cost to MannKind, any and all materials required for the manufacture of the Product, in reasonable quantities consistent with MannKind’s designated quantities and orders for the Product. AFP shall use and rotate all stock of materials on a first-in, first-out basis. AFP shall conduct on-site quality audits of its inclusion bodies supplier on a regular basis, but shall not be obligated to conduct more than one (1) such audit every calendar year. AFP represents and warrants that AFP has a long-term supply agreement with [***] for the sufficient supply of inclusion bodies to support AFP’s obligations with respect to the Purchase Commitment Quantities and Purchase Price (without resorting to § 6.1(b)) under this Agreement and covenants that during the term of this Agreement AFP shall not unreasonably terminate such agreement or amend such agreement in a manner that would adversely affect AFP’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement. If during the term of this Agreement AFP intends to qualify an appropriate alternate source of inclusion bodies to supplement or replace its supply from [***] then AFP must notify MannKind in writing and AFP agrees that such change shall not adversely affect AFP’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement. AFP has provided or will provide to MannKind and its potential licensee(s) the opportunity to review a true and correct copy of such agreement, at AFP’s location or Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s location, as in effect as of the Effective Date (as redacted to protect any proprietary information of AFP or [***]).

4.2 Manufacture of Product. AFP shall reserve sufficient production capacity and inventory of Product in order to be able to supply to MannKind pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. AFP shall manufacture Product in accordance with § 2.1, § 2.5, and United States and European Union regulations applicable to the transportation, storage, use, handling and disposal of hazardous materials. Each Party shall promptly notify the other of any new instructions or specifications with respect to the Product required under any applicable laws and shall confer with each other with respect to the best means to comply with such requirements. AFP represents and warrants to MannKind that it has, and shall maintain during the term of this Agreement, all government permits, including without limitation health, safety and environmental permits, necessary for the conduct of the actions and procedures that it undertakes pursuant to this Agreement.

AFP or applicable qualified contract laboratories shall perform quality control testing and quality oversight on the Product to be delivered to MannKind or its designee hereunder.

4.4 Audits. Upon MannKind’s written request to AFP, which shall be not less than thirty (30) days in advance, MannKind, or its licensee(s) identified in such a written request, shall have the right to have its representatives visit AFP’s facility during normal business hours to review and inspect AFP’s manufacturing operations and quality systems related to the Product and to discuss any related issues with AFP’s manufacturing and management personnel. Such audits of AFP shall not exceed one (1) time per calendar year for MannKind and shall not exceed one (1) time per year for MannKind’s sole licensee. If MannKind adds additional licensee(s), only one (1) licensee is entitled to an audit per calendar year. For the avoidance of doubt, only two (2) audits total are allowed per calendar year. MannKind, or its licensee(s) will be entitled to perform additional audits, upon shorter notice, if Non-conforming Products are produced by AFP or complaints or other inquiries by regulatory authorities relating to the Products produced hereunder are received by either Party, or for any additional reasons where good cause is articulated in writing by MannKind.

4.5 Change in Manufacturing Process. AFP shall provide prior written notice to MannKind before AFP implements any change in the materials, suppliers, contract laboratories, equipment, processes, procedures, or test methods used to manufacture the Product, but only to the extent that such changes affect AFP’s United States Drug Master File of the Product or any other regulatory filing throughout the Territory. If MannKind does not notify AFP of an objection within ten (10) business days of receipt of AFP’s notice and, as far as AFP is aware having made due inquiry, such change would not require approval or notification of the applicable regulatory authorities with respect to the MannKind Product, then AFP may proceed with the change without the prior written approval of MannKind. If MannKind notifies AFP within such ten (10) business day period that such change would require approval or notification of the applicable regulatory authorities with respect to the MannKind Product, then AFP shall not make such change without the prior written consent of MannKind, which prior written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. With respect to any changes that would not require approval or notification of the applicable regulatory authorities in connection with the MannKind Product, if MannKind notifies AFP of an objection to such change within such ten (10) business day period, the Parties will discuss the change in good faith for up to an additional ten (10) business days (or longer, if agreed by the Parties) in the interest of reaching a mutually agreeable resolution; provided, that if agreement is not reached on such change (and that change does not require notification or approval of the applicable regulatory authorities with respect to the MannKind Product) then AFP may proceed with such change following such discussions.

4.6 Documentation. AFP shall keep complete, accurate and authentic accounts, notes, data and records of the work performed under this Agreement adequate to comply with all applicable laws. AFP shall maintain complete and adequate records pertaining to the methods and facilities used by it for the manufacture, testing and supply of the Product. Upon MannKind’s written request, AFP shall make these documents available for MannKind on-site review at AFP’s facility. MannKind acknowledges that all of AFP’s manufacturing records shall be protected under the confidentiality provisions of § 11.

4.7 Recall of Product. In the event that: (a) any regulatory authority issues a request, directive or order that the Product be recalled or retrieved; (b) a court of competent jurisdiction orders that the Product be recalled or retrieved; or (c) AFP determines that the Product should be recalled or retrieved, AFP shall promptly notify MannKind, in writing, of such event and shall conduct such activity and take appropriate corrective actions, at AFP’s expense.

5. Delivery and Acceptance

5.1 Time and Place of Delivery. AFP shall deliver the Product to MannKind DAT (“Delivered at Terminal,” as such term is defined in INCOTERMS 2010) to Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx International Airport (“JFK”), or other designated terminal within the United States (“Alternate Designated Terminal”) at MannKind’s reasonable discretion upon reasonable written notice to AFP, to arrive on or before the scheduled date as set forth in the Purchase Orders. AFP shall ensure that the shipping, handling and storage conditions are sufficiently maintained so that there is no adverse impact to Product quality. Upon delivery to MannKind, AFP shall ensure Product will have a remaining expiry date of not less than four (4) years.

5.2 Risk of Loss. AFP shall bear the risk of loss for the Product through delivery to, and unloading at, JFK or Alternate Designated Terminal, at which time title to the Product and the risk of loss shall pass to MannKind.

5.3 Documents. Each shipment of the Product shall be accompanied by relevant certificates of analysis and a copy of the invoice. Each certificate of analysis shall certify with respect to each shipment and batch (identified by batch number) (a) the quantity of the shipment, and (b) that Product delivered conforms to Specifications, as well as any further information required by the relevant regulatory authorities that MannKind may have previously notified AFP is necessary. MannKind shall be under no obligation to accept any shipment of Product without an accompanying certificate of analysis.

5.4 Inspection, Acceptance and Rejection. MannKind shall have the right to inspect the Product as follows:

(a) Delivery Inspection. Upon delivery at MannKind’s designated facility, MannKind shall perform testing to determine whether the Product is acceptable to MannKind, conforms with the Specifications and cGMPs, is free from defect, adulteration and contamination and is free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances.

(b) Acceptance; Rejection. If, after performing such testing MannKind determines and informs AFP in writing that any Product delivered is a Non-conforming Product, MannKind shall so notify AFP in writing within forty-five (45) days from receipt of the shipment. In the event that AFP agrees that the Product is Non-conforming Product, MannKind may, at its option, return such Non-conforming Product to AFP or request replacement of the Non-conforming Product at AFP’s sole cost and at the earliest possible timeframe that is commercially reasonable. If MannKind exercises such return rights, MannKind shall return any such Non-conforming Product in accordance with AFP’s then current return procedures, and AFP shall replace such Non-conforming Product. If AFP does not replace such Non-conforming Product so as to remedy any reported non-conformity within forty-five (45) days after such non-conformity is reported to AFP, then MannKind may reject such Non-conforming Product by providing prompt written notice of such rejection to AFP. In the event of such rejection of any Non-conforming Product, AFP shall promptly credit or refund the net purchase price paid by MannKind. MannKind may charge AFP for all costs of shipment of Non-conforming Product and for the cover costs of the Product. If MannKind does not notify AFP that any Product is a Non-conforming Product during the forty-five (45) day period following delivery of such Product at MannKind’s designated facility, or does not reject any Non-conforming Product in accordance with the procedure described above, such Product shall be deemed to have been accepted by MannKind. Acceptance or deemed acceptance under this § 5.4 shall not limit AFP’s warranty obligations or MannKind’s warranty rights under § 7.2.

In the event of a discrepancy between MannKind and AFP as to whether the Product is Non-conforming Product or there otherwise exists a dispute between the Parties over the extent to which such non-conformity is attributable to a given Party, the Parties shall cause an independent laboratory promptly to review records, test data and perform comparative tests and analyses on samples of the Product that allegedly is Non-conforming. Such independent laboratory shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties. The independent laboratory’s results shall be in writing and shall be final and binding save for manifest error. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, the costs associated with such testing and review shall be borne by the Party against whom the independent laboratory rules.

6. Pricing; Quantities; and Payment

6.1 Purchase Commitment and Purchase Price. MannKind shall purchase from AFP the minimum quantities of Product (the “Purchase Commitment Quantities”) at the purchase price per gram (the “Purchase Price”) in each calendar year as provided in the table set forth below. In the event that MannKind fails to meet the Purchase Commitment Quantities in any given calendar year, MannKind shall pay AFP for the difference in the amount of the Purchase Commitment Quantities and the actual amount purchased for the corresponding calendar year (such difference, the “Purchase Commitment Difference”). AFP shall issue an invoice and MannKind shall pay the Purchase Commitment Difference no later than thirty (30) days after the close of the corresponding calendar year.

Calendar Year	Purchase Commitment Quantities (kg)	Purchase Price (per gram)	Comment
2015	[***]	EUR [***]	Up to [***] kg to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2014.
2016	[***]	EUR [***]
2017	[***]	EUR [***]
2018	[***]	EUR [***]
2019	[***]	EUR [***]

All amounts due under this § 6.1 shall be due and payable by MannKind to AFP in EUR in accordance with § 6.2. In calendar year 2016 and thereafter, the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

(a) The Purchase Price will be subject to an obligatory annual adjustment on January 1 of each calendar year equal to the percentage change in the [***] (the “Index”), where the annual adjustment is calculated using the historical twelve (12) month percentage change of the Index, as of December 1 of the immediate prior year; provided, however, that if the percentage change (either increase or decrease, as applicable) of the Index equals or exceeds [***] percent (i.e., +/- [***]%), the Purchase Price adjustment shall not be obligatory, but instead the Parties shall attempt in good faith to negotiate an adjusted Purchase Price based on such change, which attempted negotiations shall be concluded no later than February 15 of that calendar year.

(b) In addition to any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to §6.1(a), if for causes beyond AFP’s reasonable control (including market shortage, market embargo, etc.), AFP has incurred any price increase(s) in its aggregate material and service costs (such increased costs measured on a per gram basis of Product, the “Cost Excess”) which are in excess of [***] percent ([***]%) of the Purchase Price in a given calendar year, then the Purchase Price for the next calendar year shall be increased by the percentage increase of the Cost Excess as compared to the aggregate costs for such materials and services during the prior calendar year.

(c) If AFP delivers any Product Purchase Commitment Quantities, as defined in the Firm Order Period through a Purchase Order accepted by AFP, beyond sixty (60) days after the committed delivery date, then such quantities shall be subject to a [***] percent ([***]%) discount off the Purchase Price.

6.2 Payment. MannKind shall pay AFP for the Product within forty-five (45) days from shipment date of the Product. In the event the Product is detained due to Customs or FDA then MannKind shall notify AFP of such delay and the period for payment shall be extended for the period commensurate with such delay. AFP shall submit an invoice electronically to MannKind, Attention: Accounts Payable, xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. If any portion of an invoice is disputed then MannKind shall pay the undisputed amount and the Parties shall use good faith efforts to reconcile the disputed amount as soon as practicable. AFP shall not suspend work or seek to terminate this Agreement or any Purchase Order solely on account of MannKind’s failure to pay any invoiced amount which is the subject of a good xxxxx xxxx fide dispute, provided that MannKind pays all non-disputed amounts.

6.3 Reservation Fee. No later than five (5) days after the Effective Date, MannKind shall make payment to AFP in the amount of EUR 11,000,000, which will be considered as partial payment for the calendar year 2015 Purchase Commitment Quantities of [***] kilograms of Product. This reservation fee is non-refundable and deemed fully earned by, and to be the property of AFP in all events, including but not limited to the event that MannKind fails to purchase the calendar year 2015 Purchase Commitment Quantities, except for and excluding only the event of a material breach of AFP’s obligations under this Agreement that occurs prior to the delivery of the full amount of calendar year 2015 Purchase Commitment Quantities. Any invoice(s) for the calendar year 2015 designated quantities will be adjusted to reflect a credit for the reservation fee. For avoidance of doubt, this Reservation Fee will only be adjusted against the purchase of quantity that is delivered in calendar year 2015, and not calendar year 2014 or in any other calendar year.

6.4 Taxes. The Party receiving payments under this Agreement shall pay any and all taxes levied on account of such payment. If any taxes are required to be withheld by the paying Party, it shall (a) deduct such taxes from the remitting payment, (b) timely pay the taxes to the proper taxing authority, and (c) send proof of payment to the other Party and certify its receipt by the taxing authority within sixty (60) calendar days following such payment.

Whenever possible, each provision of the Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any term or provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of the Agreement and this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed as if such provision had never been contained herein.

12.11 Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any breaches or violations of § 3 or § 11 may cause the non-breaching Party irreparable damage for which the award of monetary damages would be inadequate. Consequently, the non-breaching Party may seek to enjoin the breaching Party from any and all acts in violation of any such provisions, which remedy shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and a Party may seek the entry of an injunction enjoining any breach or threatened breach of such provisions, in addition to any other relief to which the non-breaching Party may be entitled at law or in equity.

As a condition of appointment of the arbitrator, said arbitrator shall agree to use her/his best efforts to conclude the proceeding within thirty (30) business days. Said arbitrator shall further have the authority to limit the volume of evidence and documents to be submitted by the Parties.

If such failure or delay occurs, then AFP shall give MannKind notice of the circumstances causing such failure or delay, and AFP shall be excused from the performance of such of its obligations that it is thereby disabled from performing for so long as it is disabled and for sixty (60) calendar days thereafter; provided, however, that AFP commences and continues to take reasonable and diligent actions to cure such failure or delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if AFP is disabled from the performance of any material obligation under this Agreement for a period of ninety (90) calendar days or more, then MannKind shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to AFP, in which event the provisions of § 10.3 shall apply.

12.15 Attorneys’ Fees. If any claim, action, or dispute arises between the parties with respect to any matter covered by this Agreement that leads to a proceeding before a court of competent jurisdiction to resolve such claim, the Prevailing Party in such proceeding shall be entitled to receive from the other Party its reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, court costs and other out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such proceeding, in addition to any other relief that it may be awarded.
