following receipt of the same. NxStage shall also provide to PiSA on a
monthly basis a rolling forecast of its expected Product purchase requirements from PiSA for the
succeeding [**] month period, the first [**] months of which shall be binding with firm Purchase
Orders. Each Purchase Order shall specify the Product name, Product number and quantities of each
of the Products to be purchased, the desired Shipping Dates and shipping instructions.
PiSA shall accept all Purchase Orders that are in line with the Minimum Purchase Commitment (as
defined below) assuming the annual Minimum Purchase Commitment is spread equally on a monthly
basis) and shall manufacture and supply the Products corresponding to the quantities and Shipping
Dates set forth in such Purchase Orders. PiSA shall use commercially reasonable efforts to accept
and satisfy all orders that exceed NxStage’s Minimum Purchase Commitment as well as rolling

2.3 Minimum Purchase Commitment. During each Contract Year hereunder, NxStage hereby
agrees to purchase from PiSA and PiSA hereby agrees to sell to NxStage a quantity of Products
constituting no less than the annual minimum number of units of Products as provided in Appendix A
of this Agreement (“Minimum Purchase Commitment”). If it becomes evident, during any given
Contract Year, that NxStage will not achieve the Minimum Purchase Commitment, NxStage shall
promptly notify PiSA in writing and both parties shall meet in person or by phone to discuss in
good faith acceptable solutions to the shortfall. Any acceptable solution shall be agreed to in
writing.
If the parties fail to reach a mutually acceptable solution following such good faith discussions,
NxStage shall pay to PiSA an amount equal to [**] percent ([**]%) of the Unit Shortfall for the
applicable Contract Year’s Minimum Purchase Commitment multiplied by the Product Purchase Price (as
defined below) in force for that Contract Year.
2.4 Allocation of Supply. In the event PiSA is not able to supply all of NxStage’s
needs for the Product, for causes of Force Majeure as established in section 14, PiSA shall
allocate its available supply and production capacity equitably among NxStage and other PiSA
customers in proportion to NxStage’s and such customers’ reasonably forecasted needs as provided to
PiSA prior to the occurrence of the supply shortfall.
2.5 Failure to Supply. If, for reasons which are not due to Force Majeure as
established in Section 14, PiSA is unable to fulfill by the Shipping Date at least [**] percent
([**]%) of the amount of Products ordered under any accepted Purchase Order (“Failure to Supply”)
over [**] successive calendar months, without limiting any other rights NxStage may have, NxStage
shall have the right to reduce the Minimum Purchase Commitments for that Contract Year (whereby,
the Minimum Purchase Commitment applicable for that Contract Year shall be reduced by
1/12th for each month following such a Failure to Supply) until such time as PiSA has
demonstrated an ability to supply at least [**] percent ([**]%) of NxStage Purchase Order
quantities for [**] successive calendar months, during which period the pricing set forth in Appendix A shall remain in force. If, after any reinstatement of Minimum Purchase
Commitments, there is another Failure to Supply for [**] calendar months (which need not be
successive), the Minimum Purchase Commitments shall be suspended for the remaining Term of this
Agreement, during which period the pricing set
forth in Appendix A shall remain in force. In any
case, if PISA ’s inability to supply is due to Force Majeure event Section 14 shall apply.
2.6 Cancellations. In the event NxStage cancels all or any part of any accepted
Purchase Order, NxStage shall pay PiSA (a) [**] for the cancelled Purchase Order or for the number
of Products partially cancelled for which the requested Shipping Date is within [**] days or less
of the date of NxStage’s written notice of cancellation, and (b) the average direct product cost
(assumed for purposes of this Agreement to be [**]% of the Purchase Prices outlined in Appendix A)
for the number of Products cancelled for which the requested Shipping Date is within [**] to [**]
days of the date of NxStage’s notice of cancellation. NxStage shall have no penalty associated
with the cancellation of any accepted Purchase Order for Products with a requested Shipping Date
more than [**] days after the date of NxStage’s notice of cancellation. Nothing in this Section 2.6
shall affect NxStage’s Minimum Purchase Commitment specified in Section 2.3 hereof. For purposes of
this Section the calculation of the days herein established shall begin from the moment PiSA has
received the written notice from NxStage.
3. Product Specifications; Manufacturing Processes; Etc.
3.1 NxStage Initiated Modifications. If at any time during the Term of this
Agreement, NxStage desires to modify the Specifications, NxStage shall have the right to modify or
change the Specifications, subject to PiSA’s written approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon receipt by PiSA of notice requesting a Specification
change, PiSA shall have the right (a) to adjust the Purchase Price of the Product to reflect any
actual and necessarily incurred changes in the cost of raw materials, direct labor, equipment and
overhead that will result from such modification or change (provided that PiSA has reasonable
documentation of the basis for any price increases and such price change is agreed to by NxStage,
and (b) to the extent necessary, extend the Shipping Dates for the Products affected by the change
in Specifications, as agreed by the parties and (c) to require NxStage to purchase (i) at its
current Purchase Price all Products affected by a change in Specifications in PiSA’s finished goods
inventory which were manufactured pursuant to accepted Purchase Orders, and (ii) at the book value
reflected on PiSA’s books, any and all molds and materials produced or acquired by PiSA in order
to manufacture Products affected by the change in Specifications hereunder which cannot be used in
the manufacture of any other Product hereunder, unless PiSA, at its sole and good faith discretion,
determines that such molds and materials can be used to fulfill orders by other PiSA customers.
For NxStage initiated changes which can be implemented with flexible timing, and hence do not have
the potential to impact the continuous supply of the Product to NxStage, PiSA shall be allowed up
to [**] days to implement such changes. For changes that require more urgent timing or could
potentially interrupt supply of the Product to NxStage, PiSA will work with NxStage and exert best
commercial efforts to effect such change to avoid any interruption in supply, thus accomplishing
such changes in a period of less than [**] days. If PiSA fails to accept any requested change to
Specifications, NxStage shall have the right to terminate its Minimum Purchase Commitments upon
[**] days prior notice to PiSA.
3.2 PiSA Initiated Modifications. PiSA shall have the right to modify or change the
manufacturing procedures or practices used to make the Product, which modification or change does
not cause or necessitate a change to or in any Specifications; provided that PiSA may not increase
the Purchase Price of the Product as a result of such modification or change without NxStage’s
prior written approval. PiSA shall inform NxStage of any such
modification at least [**] days prior to the implementation thereof. All changes in materials,
processes, components or otherwise that are proposed by PiSA and which cause or necessitate a
change to or in any Specifications are subject to NxStage’s prior written approval.
3.3 Technical Assistance. At NxStage’s request, PiSA may from time to time furnish
technical and design assistance, advice and information with respect to the Products, which
assistance, advice and information is provided at the cost to be agreed by the parties in writing
on a case by case basis. No agent, employee or other representative has the right to modify or
expand PiSA’s warranty applicable to the Products or to make any representations other than those
warranties and representations expressly provided in Section 6 of this Agreement.
3.4 Labeling. All Product provided by PiSA will contain NxStage’s labeling for sale
to end user customers and/or distributors of NxStage. The labeling will contain a statement that
the Product is “Made in Mexico” and such other labeling as may be required by law. NxStage shall
be responsible for all regulatory requirements relating to the labeling and sale of Products, and
shall review and approve, and be solely responsible for all Products labels/labeling and
instructions for use included with the Product.
3.5 Trademarks. NxStage hereby grants to PiSA a non-exclusive, non-transferable,
royalty-free license, without the right to sublicense, to use the NxStage Trademarks without
alteration or modification solely with respect to PiSA’s labeling of the Products during the Term
of this Agreement and not for any other purpose. PiSA acknowledges NxStage’s ownership of or other
right to use the NxStage Trademarks. PiSA further acknowledges that neither this Agreement nor the
use by PiSA of the NxStage Trademarks shall create any right, title or interest in or to the
NxStage Trademarks by PiSA. This Agreement is not intended to convey and does not convey to PiSA
the right to use any trademarks or service marks of NxStage other than the NxStage Trademarks for
the use set forth herein. Upon reasonable prior notice, PiSA shall permit NxStage to perform
audits and inspections at PiSA’s facilities to confirm PiSA’s compliance with the terms of this
Section 3.5.
3.6 Third-Party Patents.
(a) As of the date hereof, PiSA has no actual knowledge of any issued Mexican third-party
patents concerning the components or sub-assemblies used in the Products or the procedures used in
manufacturing the Products that would be infringed by selling, marketing or manufacturing the
Products in Mexico. If at any time during the Term of this Agreement, a third-party suit for U.S.
patent infringement or misappropriation of trade secret relating to any of the components or
sub-assemblies used in the Product is (i) threatened against NxStage (and NxStage reasonably
determines that such threat is credible) or (ii) filed against NxStage, then (A) NxStage may cease
purchasing the Product which is the subject of the third-party suit (and only such Product) without
any liability hereunder immediately upon providing written notice to PiSA (it being understood that
all Minimum Purchase Commitments with respect to such affected Product shall immediately thereafter
cease), and (B) PiSA shall, at PiSA’s option, either (1) replace such allegedly infringing Products
with non-infringing Products as long as such non-infringing Products have the same functionality as
the allegedly infringing Products and conform to the Specifications, or (2) if replacement
is not practicable, buy back from NxStage unused inventories of such Products at the Purchase Price
paid by NxStage for such Products.
(b) As of the date hereof, NxStage has no actual knowledge of any issued U.S. third-party
patents concerning the dialysate formulations used in the Products that would be infringed by
selling or marketing the Products in the Territory. If at any time during the Term of this
Agreement, a third-party suit for U.S. patent infringement or misappropriation of trade secret
concerning the dialysate formulations used in a Product is (i) threatened against PiSA (and PiSA
reasonably determines that such threat is credible) or (ii) filed against PiSA, then PiSA may cease
supplying the Product which is the subject of the third-party suit (and only such Product) without
any liability hereunder immediately upon providing written notice to NxStage and NxStage shall pay
to PiSA an amount equivalent to PiSA’s direct product cost (assumed for purposes of this Agreement
to be [**]% of the Purchase Prices outlined in Appendix A) for all existing Product in stock,
provided the total existing quantity does not exceed the quantity on order through accepted
Purchase Orders.
3.7 Manufacturing Facilities. Without limiting PiSA’s obligations under the Technical
Agreement, PiSA shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining manufacturing facilities in
Guadalajara, Mexico or at other PiSA manufacturing facilities subject to NxStage’s prior written
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and other equipment, supplies and staff
necessary to perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with this Agreement and the Technical
Agreement. PiSA will manufacture the Product at such facilities and shall not change the location
of such manufacture without NxStage’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld (it
being understood that, without limiting the foregoing, NxStage shall have no obligation to consent
to a request to change the location of manufacture which would increase NxStage’s Product shipping
costs). PiSA undertakes that the facility where PiSA will manufacture the Product, and all the
procedures used in manufacturing and processing, shall enable PiSA to maintain manufacturing of
Product according to the Specifications. PiSA acknowledges that the manufacturing facilities for
the Product must be registered with the FDA under the requirements of the current GMP and shall
comply with the requirements of FDA 21 CFR Part 820 Quality System Regulation.
4. Pricing and Payment; Record-Keeping; Audit Rights.
4.1 Pricing. Except as provided in Section 3.1, the purchase price (“Purchase Price”)
of the Products shall be as set forth in Appendix A hereto.
| (a) | The parties agree that pricing for the Products during each Contract Year of the Agreement shall be subject to review and modification at least [**] days prior to the end of each Contract Year and only in cases of substantial increases (an increase of more than [**]% in [**] during the Term, or over the period commencing at the start of the Term through the end of the then-applicable Contract Year and/or in the accumulative years since the last price increase) in any direct material cost that adversely impacts PiSA’s direct cost of manufacture, provided that PiSA can provide detailed justification of the basis for such pricing increase (including the reason for such pricing increase and an accounting of its impact on total direct manufacturing cost, independent of exchange rate fluctuation). Consistent with provisions of section 4.1 (c) below, it is recognized |
| that both Parties are jointly focused on continuous improvement and best in class performance. | |||
| (b) | In the event PiSA increases the Product Purchase Price more than a [**] % in any calendar year during the Term, or over the period commencing at the start of the Term through the end of the then-applicable Contract Year and/or in the accumulative years ), NxStage shall have the right to obtain third party price quotations related to the manufacture and supply of Products. If any such quotation from a third party is less than [**]% of the increased Purchase Price from PiSA, and can be substantiated in writing by NxStage, PiSA shall have the right to match such pricing or choose to leave its Purchase Price increase unchanged. PiSA shall make such determination within [**] days of notice from NxStage of the third party quotation. If PiSA decides to match the third party pricing, it shall inform NxStage in writing within such [**] day notice period and the new Purchase Price shall become effective with the next subsequent Purchase Orders placed by NxStage. If PiSA decides to maintain its Purchase Price increase, NxStage shall be free to purchase Products from the third party and may rescind its Minimum Purchase Commitment (Section 2.3) to PiSA in writing with [**] days advance notice. From the understanding that when not all the Products were subject to a Price increase, the Minimum Purchase Commitment shall remain in force for the remaining Products. | ||
| (c) | From time to time, the parties shall work together on agreed upon joint projects to identify and implement cost saving measures related but not limited to logistics, cost, lead-time, quality and other areas. Any savings that are realized through these joint efforts shall be shared fairly between the parties based upon each party’s contribution to the project irrespective of whether the implementation occurs at PiSA or NxStage’s facilities. Progress on these projects will be reviewed during regularly scheduled business reviews which will provide objective evidence of supplier management and customer satisfaction per the ISO standard. | ||
| (d) | Additionally, at least [**] days prior to the end of the Initial Term of the Agreement, the parties shall meet in person or by phone to negotiate possible Purchase Prices for any Renewal Term. If PiSA and NxStage do not reach an agreement on Purchase Prices following good faith negotiations, this Agreement may be automatically extended at NxStage’s option, for an additional twelve (12) months (the “Extended Period”), during which the last Purchase Prices agreed to by the parties and then existing will remain in effect. |
4.2 Taxes. PiSA shall bear all taxes based upon or measured by its net income. Any
other tax, however denominated and howsoever measured, imposed upon the Products or upon their
storage, inventory, sale, transportation, delivery, use or consumption shall be the responsibility
of NxStage. NxStage shall provide PiSA with all appropriate tax exemption certificates acceptable
to the taxing authorities imposing such taxes, if NxStage desires not to make such payments.
4.3 Payment Terms. PiSA shall invoice NxStage concurrently with any shipment of
Products and NxStage shall make full payment to PiSA, no later than [**] days from the Receipt Date for all shipments where the freight is exworks
Guadalajara. PiSA shall invoice NxStage concurrently with delivery of Products and NxStage shall
make full payment to
PiSA, no later than [**] days from the Delivery Date for all shipments where
the freight is DAF Nuevo Laredo. Payment shall be in U.S. Dollars by bank transfer directly to the
bank account designated by PiSA. Any amounts not paid within a [**] day period shall accrue
interest at the rate of [**] percent ([**]%) per month.
4.4 Dispute of Invoices. If NxStage disputes all or any part of an invoice, NxStage
shall provide PiSA a notice of the dispute within [**] calendar days of its receipt of such
invoice, and shall pay any undisputed portion of the invoice within [**] days of the Shipping Date.
NxStage and PiSA agree to use all commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any disputes
concerning the payment of invoices under this Section within [**] calendar days after NxStage has
provided such notice of dispute. If the parties are unable to resolve or to compromise such dispute
within such [**] calendar day period, each of NxStage and PiSA agrees to submit the dispute to be
settled per Section 15.9 of this Agreement, “Governing Law and Dispute Resolution”.
5. Delivery.
5.1 Shipments. All shipments of Products shall be made ex-works and/or
DAF,(Inconterms 2000) as requested by NxStage, according to the following:
Ex-works.- Shall be made at PiSA’s manufacturing facilities, Guadalajara, Mexico. Title to

Products for conformance with the Purchase Order and compliance with the Specifications. PiSA
agrees to issue a credit note on NxStage’s account for the amount paid for the Products that is
disputed or rejected after any such inspection. NxStage shall perform such inspections within [**]
days after receipt of a shipment of Products at NxStage’s headquarters or another location
designated by NxStage, and shall promptly notify PiSA in writing of the non-conformance of any
Products or if any Product or shipment of Products is disputed or rejected and failure to do so
shall be considered as NxStage Product acceptance. In the event NxStage rejects any Product or
shipment of Products because of any non-compliance with the Specifications, PiSA agrees to replace
such Product or shipment (the “Replaced Products”) at PiSA’s sole cost and expense (including
freight charges) and subsequently invoice NxStage for the Purchase Price of the Replaced Product
or, at PiSA’s option, reimburse NxStage the Purchase Price paid for such rejected Products, plus
the cost of freight paid by NxStage. In either case, PiSA shall be responsible for all costs
associated with the disposition of
nonconforming Product. The acceptance by NxStage of the Products hereunder shall not be deemed a
waiver by NxStage of the warranties set forth in Section 6 hereof.
In the event NxStage disputes any shipment of Products because of any non-conformity which results
from delivery of less Product than invoiced, PiSA shall supply to NxStage, as promptly as possible
but no later than [**] days following NxStage’s notice of such non-conformity, such additional
Product as is necessary to meet the amount invoiced. In the event NxStage disputes any shipment of
Products because of any non-conformity which results from delivery of more Product than ordered
after taking into account that delivered quantity for the Products may differ by +/- [**] % of the
ordered quantity, NxStage may accept any Product in excess of the quantity ordered as against
future orders of the Product.

indemnifying party fails to contest and defend such claim within a reasonable period of time after
the indemnified party’s notice is given, then the indemnified party may take such reasonable action
in connection therewith as the indemnified party deems necessary or desirable, including
controlling the defense of such claim, subject to the provisions of subsection 10.5 below, and
retaining counsel of its own choosing with the reasonable costs and expenses of such defense being
borne by the indemnifying party. The reimbursement for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by an indemnified party pursuant to this subsection 10.4 shall be paid as and when incurred within
[**] days after receipt of an invoice therefore.
10.5 Settlement. If requested by the indemnifying party, the indemnified party agrees
to cooperate with the indemnifying party and its counsel. The indemnified party shall not settle or
compromise such claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. At the request of the indemnifying party, the indemnified
party shall settle a claim; provided, however, that (a) such settlement involves only the payment
of monetary damages and no injunctive relief binding on the indemnified party, and such monetary
damages are paid by the indemnifying party, (b) the indemnified party does not admit any liability,
and (c) the indemnified party is released from all further liability with respect to such claim.
10.6 Survival of Obligations. The obligations of this Section 10 shall survive any

all applicable statutes of limitation that could apply to any actions, claims, proceedings or
demands that could be asserted by a third party.
11. Term; Termination; Default & Remedies.

terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, including, Section 3.1 or Section
4.1 (b) and/or 4.1 (d), this Section 11, or Section 14, or extended pursuant to Section 4.1(d).
Subsequent to the Initial Term, this Agreement shall be automatically extended for one (1)
year periods, ( “Renewal Term”); provided that either party shall have the right to terminate the
Renewal Term with six (6) months prior written notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement or
unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1(d), this Section 11, or
Section 14.
11.2 If NxStage terminates the agreement for reasons other than those specified within Section
4.1 (b) and/or 4.1 (d), this Section 11, or Section 14, NxStage shall pay to PISA an amount equal
to [**] percent [**]% of the unit shortfall according to the Minimum Purchase Commitment multiplied
by the Purchase Product price in force at the date of termination for that Contract Year, and such
payment shall be PISA’s sole remedy and NxStage’s sole liability for such termination.
If PISA terminates the agreement for reasons other than those specified within Section 4.1 (b)
and/or 4.1 (d), this Section 11, or Section 14, PISA shall pay to NxStage an amount equal to the
difference between the Purchase Price NxStage can obtain from a third party supplier and the
Purchase Price hereunder, multiplied by the Minimum Purchase Commitment remaining to be fulfilled
had the contract not been terminated by PISA.
11.3 Termination for Technology Change. If after the first Contract Year, NxStage is
able to demonstrate an alternative source or technology for production exclusively of a premixed
lactate product that is substantially functionally equivalent to the Product hereunder with respect
to both safety and efficacy, then NxStage shall so notify PiSA and PiSA shall be given [**] days to
match the overall cost to NxStage of such alternative source or technology. If PiSA elects not to
so match the overall cost of such alternative source or technology, at the end of such [**] day
period, NxStage shall have the option to terminate this Agreement solely for that specific Product
upon ninety (90) days written notice to PiSA.
11.4 Termination for Bankruptcy. Either party may terminate this Agreement, effective
upon delivery of a termination notice, if the other party (a) files a petition in bankruptcy or
insolvency or for reorganization or for an arrangement or at the appointment of a receiver or
trustee of the party of its assets, (b) is served with an involuntary petition against it, filed in
any insolvency proceeding, and such petition shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days after
filing thereof, (c) is a party to any dissolution or liquidation, (d) makes an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or (e) discontinues its operations for any reason whatsoever.
11.4 Termination for Breach. In addition to all other rights granted to the parties
hereunder, either party may terminate this Agreement effective sixty (60) days after giving notice
of intent to terminate, if the other party fails or neglects to perform any material covenant or
provision of this Agreement, and such default is not materially cured within [**] days after
receiving written notice with respect to such default.
11.5 Effects of Termination.
(a) Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve either party from its duty to discharge
all obligations accruing prior to such termination, including each party’s obligations pursuant to
any accepted Purchase Order outstanding on the date of such termination.
(b) Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, (i) NxStage shall return to
PiSA all PiSA confidential information and documents relating to or containing PiSA confidential
information, together with all copies made thereof and extracts made there from, and (ii) PiSA
shall return to NxStage all NxStage confidential information and documents relating to or
containing NxStage confidential information, together with all copies made thereof and extracts
made there from; provided that the parties shall be entitled to retain one copy of the Confidential
Information in their legal department files for the purpose of insuring compliance with their
obligations under Sections 7, 8 and 15.1 and complying with any applicable governmental rules and
regulations. PiSA shall also make available upon request by NxStage, batch records or other
quality records for the Product for a period of [**] years after termination.

by PiSA or any of its employees or agents or NxStage or any of its employees or agents shall be the
sole and exclusive property of PiSA or NxStage, respectively.
14. Force Majeure. If PiSA becomes unable to perform any of its obligations hereunder, in
whole or in part, by reason of an event of Force Majeure (as defined below), such failure of
performance shall be excused during the continuance of and to the extent of such Force
Majeure event; provided that if as a consequence of any such Force Majeure the total demands for

on a fair and equitable basis taking into account the relative levels of Product purchases over the
prior year, without liability for any failure to perform this Agreement; PiSA will promptly
notify NxStage of any occurrence of an event of Force Majeure and of the termination thereof.
NxStage may terminate this Agreement in the event the Force Majeure event continues for more than

assets, stock or business to which this Agreement relates. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of, and be binding upon, the permitted assigns of the parties hereto, and their respective
