5.2                               Safety Stock.  At least ten (10) months before the anticipated launch of Product, the Parties shall mutually agree upon the appropriate levels of safety stock of Devices to be maintained by each Party for its respective territory, which shall in no event be planned to be less than [***] of forward demand cover held as finished stock.  Safety stocks of cartridges and filled cartridges will also be agreed by the parties.  After the Commencement Date, the Parties shall review safety stock levels on at least a quarterly basis.

 

5.3                               Limitations of Supply.  Lilly will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to make available at least [***] of the Forecast using Dedicated Capacity.  If at any time Lilly anticipates that it will be unable to supply in whole or in part the quantities of Devices set forth in an Amylin purchase order for any reason, including without limitation, Force Majeure, Lilly will notify Amylin in writing as soon as possible of such anticipated shortfall.  Lilly will also notify Amylin of the underlying reason for the shortfall, proposed remedial measures, the date such inability to supply the full order of Devices is expected to end, and a proposed amount of Devices to be delivered to Amylin.  In the event fewer Devices are available than the Parties desire to purchase, Lilly will allocate available Devices on a pro rata basis based upon the Forecasts included in the most recent annual business plan approved by unanimous vote of the JSC; provided, however, that if a Party believes that a pro rata allocation based upon such Forecasts is not the appropriate allocation method, such Party may request that the Parties meet to discuss the issue, and the other Party shall agree to meet and consider in good faith the reasonable comments of the other Party.  If after such meeting, the Parties are unable to decide on the appropriate method for allocation, then the matter shall be resolved in accordance with Section 3.1(e)(ii) of the Collaboration Agreement. In the event of any manufacturing capacity constraints or raw material shortages affecting the Manufacture of Devices or components thereof to be Manufactured on behalf of Amylin, Lilly may, in its sole discretion, but with no obligation, agree to utilize Non-Dedicated Capacity to Manufacture Devices or components thereof on behalf of Amylin in an effort to supply all or a portion of the quantity of Devices constituting the shortfall of the quantity set forth in Amylin’s purchase order.

 

5.4                               Purchase Orders.  Amylin will purchase Devices solely by written purchase orders.  The Committee will establish a reasonable minimum order size for Devices prior to submission of the first Forecast, and Amylin shall not submit purchase orders for less than such minimum order size unless otherwise agreed by the Parties.  The terms and conditions of this Agreement will be controlling over any terms and conditions in any

such purchase orders, Lilly’s acknowledgement forms, or any other forms.  Upon submission to Lilly in accordance with this Section 5.4, a purchase order shall be deemed accepted by Lilly except to the extent it exceeds [***] of the most recent applicable Forecast; provided however, that acceptance of a purchase order shall not guarantee that Lilly will have supply sufficient to fill such purchase order at the time such purchase order is submitted, it being agreed that Lilly shall fill such purchase order as soon as sufficient supply is available.  Amylin will submit each such written purchase order to Lilly at least ninety (90) days in advance of the date specified in each purchase order by which delivery of the Devices is required.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lilly will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts, but will not be obligated, to meet any request of Amylin for delivery of Devices in less than ninety (90) days, and further, Lilly will attempt, but will not be obligated, to accommodate any changes requested by Amylin in delivery schedules for Devices following Lilly’s receipt of purchase orders from Amylin in accordance with this Section 5.4.  Lilly will provide written notice to Amylin of its acceptance or rejection of a specific purchase order within five (5) business days of receipt thereof, provided that Lilly shall not have the right to reject a purchase order submitted to Lilly in accordance with this Section 5.4, except to the extent it exceeds the most recent applicable Forecast by more than [***]; provided however, that acceptance of a purchase order shall not guarantee that Lilly will have supply sufficient to fill such purchase order at the time such purchase order is submitted, it being agreed that Lilly shall fill such purchase order as soon as sufficient supply is available.  Upon receipt and acceptance of each purchase order by Lilly hereunder, Lilly will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to supply the Devices in such quantities on the delivery dates specified in such purchase order, unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties, except to the extent such purchase order exceeds the applicable Forecast by more than [***].

 

5.5                               Shipment of Devices.  Shipment of Devices ordered by Amylin will be to one or more distribution service providers designated by Amylin.  Lilly will not make direct shipments to final customers in the U.S.  Amylin will select and pay the carrier to be used.  Devices will be shipped FCA Lilly’s Manufacturing facility Incoterms 2000 or as may otherwise be required pursuant to Applicable Laws.  Title and risk of loss or damage to the Devices will remain with Lilly until the Devices are delivered to the carrier, at which time title to the Devices will rest in, and risk of loss or damage to the Devices will pass to Amylin.  Amylin will cause Devices to be picked up at Lilly’s dock no later than fifteen (15) business days after the later of (i) the delivery date specified in the applicable purchase order, and (ii) the date Lilly makes such Devices available for shipment.  Any

discrepancies between quantity shipped from Lilly and quantity arriving at Amylin will be jointly investigated.

 

5.6                               Inspection; Rejection.

 

(a)           Any Devices shipped hereunder shall be received by Amylin subject to inspection and testing by Amylin in accordance with a mutually agreed upon protocol to ensure, to the extent possible, that such Devices meet the Specifications and otherwise comply with the warranties provided in Section 9.7 of this Agreement.  Amylin shall be allowed a maximum of forty-five (45) days from the date of receipt of any shipment for inspection and provision of written notice to Lilly of rejection of any portion or all of that shipment (“Inspection Period”).  If Amylin does not deliver such written notice to Lilly within such Inspection Period, Amylin shall be deemed to have accepted the shipment, except in the case of Latent Defects.

 

(b)           Promptly following notice of rejection, Lilly and Amylin shall mutually determine whether the rejected shipment conformed to the Specifications and warranties and, if the rejected shipment did not so conform, in what ways the rejected shipment did not so conform.  If the Parties cannot agree upon such issue by the end of the Inspection Period, then the Executive Director, Global Delivery Services (or any successor position) of Lilly and the Vice President, Product Development (or any successor position) of Amylin shall mutually determine in good faith whether the rejected shipment conformed to the Specifications and warranties, using such further testing procedures as such individuals may agree, including, if such individuals so determine, submitting the rejected items and Specifications to a mutually acceptable, independent laboratory for determination of whether such items conformed to the Specifications and warranties.  Amylin shall provide to Lilly any samples of rejected Devices, as Lilly shall reasonably request for the purpose of performing any additional testing pursuant to this Section 5.6.  The non-prevailing Party shall bear all reasonable costs of such independent laboratory assessment.

 

(c)           If it is determined that the rejected Devices were non-conforming, then Lilly shall replace such Devices as promptly as practicable. Except as set forth in Section 5.7 below, the Actual Manufacturing Cost of the rejected Devices, the Actual Manufacturing Cost of the replacement Devices and Amylin’s costs of return or disposal of rejected, non-conforming Devices shall be included in Cost of Product Sold for purposes of Article 4 of the Collaboration Agreement, unless and to the extent that such costs are a result of Lilly’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, in which event Lilly

 

18



 

shall pay or reimburse such costs to Amylin in full. Rejected or non-conforming Devices shall be returned to Lilly or disposed of, as directed by Lilly.

 

5.7                             Excessive Rejections

 

(a)           The DWT shall review the number of non-conforming Devices rejected by Amylin on a quarterly basis.  Beginning [***] following the date on which Lilly commences the Manufacture of Devices for commercial use, the Parties shall from time to time, as requested by Amylin, review the number of Devices properly rejected by Amylin, both on a cumulative basis from the date that is [***] after such manufacturing line was placed into service (the “Rejection Measurement Date”) and on a per-batch basis.  The Parties shall meet to discuss the rejection rate and determine an appropriate course of action if the cumulative number of Devices properly rejected by Amylin exceeds (i) [***] of the total volume of Devices shipped by Lilly to Amylin until such time as Lilly has shipped [***] to Amylin, and (ii) [***] of the total volume of Devices shipped by Lilly to Amylin thereafter (the “Cumulative Rejection Rate”).  Unless the Parties agree to a different course of action, the Committee or its designee shall develop a Manufacturing Action Plan intended to reduce the rejection rate to a level below the above-mentioned rates (the “Manufacturing Action Plan”).  The Manufacturing Action Plan shall specify in detail the steps to be taken and an appropriate timetable for action.  All costs of implementing the changes called for in the Manufacturing Action Plan shall be included in Actual Manufacturing Costs, or Development Costs, as appropriate.

 

(b)           Lilly shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to implement the Manufacturing Action Plan within the timeline established by the Manufacturing Action Plan.  If Lilly fails to utilize Commercially Reasonable Efforts to implement the Manufacturing Action Plan, and as a result the number of Devices rejected by Amylin after the date on which the Manufacturing Action Plan should have been implemented continues to exceed the applicable Cumulative Rejection Rate stated in Section 5.7(a) above over a [***], then (i) Lilly shall bear the costs of replacing rejected Devices to the extent the number of such Devices exceeds such Cumulative Rejection Rate, and such cost shall not be included in the Cost of Product Sold for resolution in accordance with

19



 

Article 4 of the Collaboration Agreement, and (ii) Amylin shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for material breach pursuant to Section 11.3(b).

 

(c)           If Lilly places in service more than one assembly line, or replaces an existing line with a new line, the provisions above shall be applied separately as to each line based upon the production of that line, with the first review to occur [***] after such new or replacement line is put in service.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lilly shall not be responsible under this Agreement for the cost of any Devices that are rejected as a result of defects caused by the actions of a person other than Lilly (e.g., defects caused by the drug cartridge or components provided by a Third Party Supplier, Devices that are defective because they are out of date).

 

ARTICLE 6
LABELING AND TRADE DRESS

 

6.1                               Labeling, Trade Dress and Packaging.  Lilly will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that the Devices are labeled, prepared and packed for shipment in compliance with applicable Marketing Approvals and cGMP, and in accordance with the MRD/Quality Agreement.  All trade dress and packaging for Devices, including use of Product Trademarks, Amylin Marks and Lilly Marks shall be consistent with the requirements of Section 9.5 of the Collaboration Agreement.

 

6.2                               Lot Numbering.  Lilly’s lot numbers will be affixed on the containers for the Devices and on each shipping carton in accordance with Applicable Laws.

 

6.3                               Release Testing.  The DWT will establish procedures for release testing of Devices Manufactured by Lilly to ensure that such Devices conform to Applicable Laws.

REGULATORY AND RECALL

 

7.1                               Regulatory Responsibility.  All matters related to the Parties’ regulatory responsibilities, including, without limitation, recall of Devices, regulatory communications, cooperation between the Parties, quality assurance and manufacturing audits, will be as set forth in the Collaboration Agreement.  The DWT will also coordinate contacts with Regulatory Authorities with respect to the Device, it being anticipated that each Party shall have the right to participate in key regulatory decisions and meetings.  If any Regulatory Authority requires the Regulatory Lead to have the ability to institute recalls unilaterally in a particular Regulatory Jurisdiction, then the Regulatory Lead shall have such right.  All costs of recall incurred by the Parties in accordance herewith will be shared equally by the Parties, except to the extent due to a Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, in which case that Party will be solely responsible for such costs of recall.

 

ARTICLE 8
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 

Pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement, the Parties have each granted to the other all licenses to patents, know-how or other intellectual property necessary for the performance of the Parties’ obligations under this Agreement.  Any inventions resulting from the activities contemplated by this Agreement shall also be governed by the provisions of the Collaboration Agreement, except that, in the case of inventions jointly made by the Parties that relate to Devices (“Joint Inventions”), Lilly shall have the right without the consent of Amylin to license or sublicense such Joint Inventions, and in the case of any invention made solely by Amylin (an “Amylin Invention”), Lilly shall have a nonexclusive license to such Amylin Invention.  In addition, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, then effective upon such termination, Lilly shall, and it hereby does, grant to Amylin a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, under intellectual property rights of Lilly claiming the Manufacture, use or sale of Devices solely, to make, have made, use, sell, have sold, offer for sale and import Product in the Territory, subject to the rights of Lilly under the Collaboration Agreement.
