Facility only; and (ii) store and maintain the Bulk, at its cost and expense, in accordance with cGMP, the Quality Technical Agreement, the Bulk Specifications, the relevant Project SOWs, and all Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, the receipt and possession of all applicable Consents), as well as Genzyme’s reasonable prior written instructions.

 

(d)           Inspection.  At no additional cost to Genzyme, Genzyme shall be entitled to inspect the Bulk and its related records on a quarterly basis, during normal business hours upon reasonable request and prior written notice, and with the least reasonably possible interference with Hospira’s ordinary course of business.  Genzyme’s Person-in-the-Plant shall be responsible for carrying out any such inspections.

 

(e)           Risk of Loss.  Subject to the limitation in Section 7.1(f)(ii), Hospira shall assume full responsibility and risk of loss associated with the safekeeping, storage and handling of all Bulk in its possession and all shipments of Bulk delivered hereunder and accepted by Hospira including, without limitation, loss of Bulk due to casualty, spoilage, loss, theft, fire, damage or destruction.

 

(f)            Replacement.

 

(i)            In the event of loss or damage of Bulk delivered hereunder promptly upon receiving notice from Hospira of any such loss, damage or failure (each, an “Occurrence”) Genzyme shall investigate the matter and provide Hospira with direction on how to manage the Bulk and/or Products.  Genzyme may choose to supply to Hospira replacement Bulk [**] in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 7.1(a); provided, however, that if any loss or damage of such Bulk results from a negligent act or omission by Hospira in the Manufacture, handling or storage of the Bulk or the Products or due to casualty, spoilage, loss, theft, fire, damage or destruction, Hospira shall reimburse Genzyme for [**] in an amount equal to [**] within [**] days of Genzyme [**].

 

(ii)           Excluding Hospira’s contribution obligations pursuant to Sections 9.4 and 15.9 hereunder, in no event shall Hospira’s aggregate liability for replacement of Bulk (on a Product by Product basis) exceed: (a) [**] per Occurrence during the [**] Manufacturing of Commercial Products [**]; and (b) [**] per Occurrence during Manufacturing of Products after the [**]; provided, however, in the event any Occurrence is due to the willful misconduct or intentional act(s) of Hospira or its agent(s), Hospira shall [**], and the limitations set forth in this Section 7.1(f)(ii) shall not apply.

 

(iii)          Hospira shall not be responsible for the inability to use any batch/lot of Bulk in the event that Genzyme delivers such Bulk to Hospira with an expiry date shorter than the minimum set forth in the relevant Project SOW.

 

(g)           Yield Metrics.

 

(i)            After Hospira has completed its initial validation runs of Product and during the initial stages of Hospira’s Manufacture of Product, the members of the Alliance

Team shall consult with a view to developing a strategy for maximizing the production yield of Product from the Bulk supplied by Genzyme.  Based upon such consultations, the Parties will establish Manufacturing guidelines for each Product, including Bulk yield minimums, maximum Bulk consumption factor targets, and permitted variances of quantities of Products to be delivered according to Genzyme’s Purchase Orders (“Yield Metrics”), and consequences of out-of-variance performance.  It shall be Hospira’s goal to achieve production of consistent batch quantities of Product in accordance with the Yield Metrics throughout the term of each Project.  The Alliance Team may meet from time to time to discuss, agree upon and implement measures for improving the Yield Metrics.

 

(ii)           In the event Hospira fails to meet the Yield Metrics for any Product, the Alliance Team leaders shall meet to establish a remediation plan to address the failure.  If Hospira fails to meet the Yield Metrics for any Product more than once, then a member of the senior management team from each Party shall meet with one another to review the remediation plan established by the Alliance Team and determine whether Hospira is capable of meeting the Yield Metrics.  The Parties will at that time determine whether Hospira will continue with the Manufacture the Product in question or, alternatively, decide in the best interests of the Parties that Genzyme should have the right to seek an alternate source of supply for such Product.

 

7.2          Dedicated Equipment Costs.  If non-standard, specialized equipment is required to perform the Services in connection with any Project (“Dedicated Equipment”), Hospira shall pay the cost of such equipment, subject to Genzyme’s prior approval of such costs, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Prior to the execution of any Project SOW, Hospira shall advise Genzyme of specialized equipment required and the estimated costs associated with the purchase, installation and validation of such equipment for the related Project.  After Genzyme approves such costs, Hospira shall install and validate the equipment and bill Genzyme for the associated costs.  The costs and payment terms for Dedicated Equipment shall be as set forth in the relevant Project SOW.  Title to the Dedicated Equipment shall be in Genzyme’s name.  Hospira shall cooperate with Genzyme in the completion of any and all document filings required to secure Genzyme’s interest in the Dedicated Equipment.  Further, if Hospira wishes to use the Dedicated Equipment for Manufacture of a product other than the Products for Genzyme, Hospira and Genzyme shall meet and discuss the technical and practical ramifications of such use and appropriate compensation to Genzyme.

 

7.3          Product Labeling; Packaging.  The labeling and packaging responsibilities of the Parties shall be as set forth in the relevant Project SOW.  All such labeling and packaging shall be in accordance with the Manufacturing Batch Record and applicable Product Specifications.

 

7.4          Off-Site Waste.  If necessary, Hospira shall hire, direct and pay all costs for a waste contractor to remove all Product-related Waste from Hospira’s Facility, consistent with each Product’s Material Safety Data Sheets (“MSDS”).  The costs associated with the removal of Specially Regulated Waste, as set forth in the relevant Project SOW, shall be borne by Genzyme.  Hospira shall only dispose of Specially Regulated Waste at sites and through waste management vendors that have been approved in writing by Genzyme, whose approval shall not

13



 

be unreasonably withheld.  Hospira shall document the destruction of any Specially Regulated Waste in writing and provide copies of such written documentation to an authorized representative of Genzyme.  Genzyme maintains the right, but not the obligation, to witness the actual disposal of Specially Regulated Waste.  Genzyme shall, upon request by Hospira, provide the MSDS for the Bulk and the MSDS for each Product to Hospira.

 

7.5          Delivery.  Hospira shall deliver the Products, packed and ready for shipment, to Genzyme [**].  Risk of loss shall pass to Genzyme [**].  Shipment shall be via a carrier designated by Genzyme.  Hospira shall not ship any Product until both Hospira and Genzyme have released such Product pursuant to the Product Specifications and the Quality Technical Agreement.  All freight, handling, insurance, duties, taxes and shipping expense will be borne by Genzyme.  For any shipments outside the United States, Genzyme shall be the exporter of record.

 

7.6          Price and Payment.

 

(a)           Price.  Hospira shall invoice Genzyme for the Products delivered by Hospira at the prices set forth in the relevant Project SOW.  Unless otherwise specified in the relevant Project SOW, Hospira shall provide Genzyme with notice of any price increase by October 1 of each calendar year, and price increases shall be effective for deliveries beginning January 1 of the following calendar year.  Such increases shall not [**] of (i) the [**], or (ii) [**].

 

(b)           Payment.  Hospira shall invoice Genzyme upon delivery of the Products.  Genzyme shall make payment net [**] days from the date of receipt of Hospira’s invoice.  In the event Genzyme fails to pay any undisputed invoice within [**] days of receipt of the invoice, Hospira may [**] (i) [**], or (ii) [**].

 

(c)           Taxes.  Genzyme shall pay all federal, state, county or municipal sales or use tax, excise, customs charges, duties or similar charge, or any other tax assessment (other than that assessed against income), license, fee or other charge lawfully assessed or charged on the Manufacture, delivery or transportation of the Products sold pursuant to this Master Agreement.

 

(d)           User and Filing Fees.  Genzyme shall also be responsible for all user and filing fees required by Regulatory Authorities in connection with the Services, and Prescription Drug User (“PDUFA”) annual establishment fees with respect to all of the Products.

 

(e)           Sub-lots.  Should Genzyme desire Hospira to split a Manufacturing lot of the Products into several sub-lots during packaging, there will be a [**] for each sub-lot packaged.

 

(f)            Cold Storage Fee.  A cold storage fee shall be due and payable to Hospira if Hospira stores the Products at the Facility and such Products require cold storage for more than [**] days after each individual Product’s final release by Genzyme.  The fee shall be at the rate of [**] or any part thereof.

7.7          Inspection and Replacement of Nonconforming Product.

 

(a)           Certificate of Analysis.  Hospira will include a Certificate of Analysis with each batch of Products confirming that the Products have been Manufactured in conformity with the Product Specifications and all Applicable Laws.

 

(b)           Inspection; Rejection.  Upon completion of the Manufacture of each batch of Products, Hospira will provide Genzyme with a copy of the Master Batch Record and all other documents and records as required by the Quality Technical Agreement for release of Products.  Genzyme will have [**] days from the date of its receipt of all such documentation to inspect, and accept or reject, the corresponding batch of Product as conforming or non-conforming with the Product Specifications and cGMP.  If Genzyme rejects such batch, it shall promptly so notify Hospira and, if applicable, provide to Hospira samples of Products included in such batch for testing.  If Hospira tests such samples and determines that it did conform to the Product Specifications, the Parties shall submit samples of such Product to a mutually acceptable independent expert for testing.

 

(c)           Testing.  If such independent expert determines that the Product conformed to the Product Specifications, Genzyme shall bear all expenses of shipping and testing such Product samples.  If such independent expert confirms that such Product did not meet the Product Specifications, Hospira shall bear all expenses of shipping and testing the shipment samples.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the independent expert may also determine that additional sample testing by an independent laboratory is necessary.  Absent manifest error, the test results of the independent expert (or those of the independent laboratory, if so referred by the expert) shall be binding on the Parties.

 

(d)           Replacement; Disposition of Rejected Product.  Hospira shall use its best efforts to replace, at no cost to Genzyme, that portion of the Product which does not conform to the Product Specifications as soon as reasonably practicable, as jointly determined by the Parties, given manufacturing capacities and scheduling at the Facility; provided, however, that Genzyme provides sufficient Bulk to Hospira [**] (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.1(f)(ii) & (iii)).  Genzyme’s duty to pay all amounts otherwise payable to Hospira in respect of the rejected Product shall be suspended until Hospira replaces all nonconforming Product in accordance with this Section 7.7.  Any nonconforming portion of any shipment shall be disposed of as directed by Genzyme, at Hospira’s expense.  In lieu of receiving replacement Product, Genzyme may [**].

 

(e)           Deemed Acceptance; Latent Defects.  Any Product that Genzyme does not reject pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be deemed accepted, and all claims with respect to Product not conforming with Product Specifications shall be deemed waived by Genzyme, except as to latent defects which are not reasonably discoverable and render the Product not conforming to Product Specifications.  Upon the conclusion of all appropriate internal investigations, should the Parties disagree on the nature and cause of such latent defects, then the Parties shall engage an independent expert to determine the cause of the latent defect.  If it is confirmed that the cause of the defect is attributable to the Manufacturing of the Product then,

implementing Manufacturing redundancies at Hospira’s McPherson, Kansas Facility.  Such redundancies may include, without limitation, the qualification of another filling line or lines, lyophilizers or other equipment for the Manufacture of the Products.  Upon agreement on the qualification plan, the Parties will undertake any necessary qualification procedures.  Hospira will be responsible for its own costs in carrying out all of the necessary technical qualification procedures and Genzyme will be responsible for all of its own related qualification costs.  The Parties shall also consider implementing additional Manufacturing redundancies at Hospira’s Liscate, Italy Facility to Manufacture one of more of the Products

 

(d)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.9 shall preclude Genzyme from qualifying an alternate contract manufacturer to provide fill and/or finishing services related to the Products.  Further, the Parties hereto agree that the [**].

 

ARTICLE 8.        ORDERS AND FORECASTS

 

8.1          [**] Year Product Supply Forecast.  For capacity planning purposes, in connection with a Project SOW, by [**] of each calendar year Genzyme shall provide Hospira with a non-binding, written [**]-year forecast of Genzyme’s annual requirements for fill slots needed during the first three calendar years of the relevant Project SOW (“Fill Slot Forecast).  Within [**] days of Hospira’s receipt of each Fill Slot Forecast, Hospira shall provide Genzyme with either: (a) a written acceptance of the Fill Slot Forecast, and accordingly allocate its annual capacity to Manufacture the Products for Genzyme, or (b) a written rejection of the Fill Slot Forecast.  Any written acceptance shall constitute Hospira’s fill slot commitment for each of the calendar years covered by the Fill Slot Forecast (“Product Fill Slot Commitment”) but shall not be binding on Genzyme.  When Genzyme submits, and Hospira accepts, a subsequent Fill Slot Forecast covering one or more previously covered calendar years, such subsequent Fill Slot Forecast shall constitute Hospira’s Product Fill Slot Commitment for such calendar year(s).  In the event Hospira rejects a Fill Slot Forecast, Hospira and Genzyme shall meet as soon as possible to discuss in good faith the batch quantities of the Products that Hospira is willing and able to provide during each of the three calendar years covered by the Fill Slot Forecast.  Any such amount shall be agreed to in writing.  If the Parties conclude that Hospira will be unable to supply Products to meet Genzyme’s Manufacturing needs, then the exclusivity granted to Hospira pursuant to Section 7.9 shall be waived for the affected Product(s) to enable Genzyme to pursue other sources of supply to meet its demand.

 

8.2          Minimum Purchase Requirement.

 

(a)           During the term of each Project SOW, Genzyme agrees to purchase from Hospira, and Hospira agrees to Manufacture and deliver to Genzyme, minimum aggregate quantities of the Products set forth in the relevant Project SOW (the “Minimum Purchase Requirement”) not to exceed its applicable Product Fill Slot Commitment.  Subject to any differing terms contained in any Project SOW, during the term of a Project SOW, Genzyme shall purchase not less than [**] of year one in the Product Fill Slot Commitment accepted by Hospira in accordance with Section 8.1.

17



 

(b)           In lieu of Genzyme taking delivery of each calendar year’s Minimum Purchase Requirements of the Products, Genzyme shall have the option to pay for its Minimum Purchase Requirement at the Product prices set forth in the relevant Project SOW and waive Hospira’s Manufacture and delivery obligations for the Products.  In the latter event, Hospira shall invoice Genzyme for the Service Fees, less the applicable costs for vials, stoppers and crimps; provided that Hospira is reasonably able to use such materials in future Genzyme product orders.  Genzyme shall pay Hospira any amounts due hereunder within [**] days after receipt of Hospira’s invoice in accordance with Section 7.6(b) hereof.

 

8.3          Rolling Forecast.  Concurrent with the execution of a Project SOW, and on the [**] thereafter, Genzyme shall provide to Hospira a good faith, estimated rolling forecast of the fill slots and Products that Genzyme expects to order for the subsequent eighteen-month period of time (each, a “Rolling Forecast”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the Minimum Purchase Requirement, Genzyme shall provide Hospira with a binding, Product-specific forecast for months one through four of each Rolling Forecast, and a binding fill slot forecast for months one through seven of each Rolling Forecast (individually and collectively, “Firm Order Period”).  For illustrative purposes only, if the Rolling Forecast is submitted on [**], Genzyme shall provide Hospira with a binding Product-specific forecast for [**], and a binding fill slot forecast for [**].

 

8.4          Purchase Orders.  After execution of a Project SOW, Genzyme shall submit a purchase order (“Purchase Order”) to Hospira at least [**] days prior to the first requested fill date for a Product.  Thereafter, on or before the [**], Genzyme shall submit a purchase order to Hospira in connection with said Project SOW.  Hospira shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to meet the delivery dates set forth in each Purchase Order.  Each Purchase Order shall reference this Master Agreement or the relevant Project SOW and shall be governed exclusively by the terms contained herein or therein.  Any terms or conditions contained in a Purchase Order that are inconsistent or in conflict with this Master Agreement or any relevant Project SOW shall be deemed not to be a part of such Purchase Order.

 

8.5          Purchase Order Acceptance.  Within [**] days after receipt of a Purchase Order issued in accordance with Section 8.4, Hospira shall confirm to Genzyme its acceptance of the Purchase Order, delivery date(s), the quantity of Products ordered and the purchase price to be paid by Genzyme.  Hospira may reject, in whole or in part, a Purchase Order only if it calls for the delivery of Products:  (a) for which sufficient quantities of Bulk have not been delivered by Genzyme or its designee in accordance with Section 7.1, or (b) less than [**] days after the date of the Purchase Order.

 

8.6          Additional Quantities.  Should Genzyme order additional quantities of the Products in excess of [**] over the latest Firm Order Period, Hospira shall not be obligated to supply said additional quantities; provided, however, that Hospira shall, until Genzyme’s orders in the aggregate reach the applicable annual Product Supply Commitment, use reasonable commercial efforts to produce and deliver to Genzyme said additional quantities within [**] days of issuance of the Purchase Order for such additional quantities.

8.7          Purchase Order Changes; Cancellations.

 

(a)           Changes.  If Genzyme requests that changes be made to any of its Purchase Orders within the Firm Order Period, Hospira shall attempt to accommodate such changes within reasonable Manufacturing capabilities and efficiencies.  If Hospira can accommodate such changes, Hospira shall advise Genzyme of any costs associated therewith.  If Genzyme indicates in writing to Hospira that it should proceed to make the changes, Genzyme shall be deemed to have accepted the obligation to pay Hospira for such costs.  If Hospira cannot accommodate such change, Genzyme shall nonetheless be bound to its original Purchase Orders.

 

(b)           Cancellations.  If Genzyme cancels any Purchase Order within the Firm Order Period, Hospira shall be relieved of its Manufacturing obligations relating to such order but Genzyme will not be relieved of its payment obligation unless Hospira agrees to waive such obligation in writing.  Furthermore, if Genzyme does not supply sufficient Bulk to allow Hospira to fulfill any Purchase Order Genzyme shall remain liable for the full amount of the Purchase Order, regardless of whether Hospira Manufactures the Product or whether Genzyme takes delivery of the Product.

 

ARTICLE 9.        INABILITY TO SUPPLY

 

9.1          Notification.  Hospira will promptly notify Genzyme if it anticipates a delay in any delivery of Products and the time of any delay in delivery.  In the event that Hospira anticipates that it will otherwise be unable to Manufacture and supply the Product in accordance with Genzyme’s firm Purchase Orders, Hospira shall notify Genzyme promptly and shall use best efforts to cure any Inability to Supply (as defined in Section 9.5) as soon as possible.  In particular, Hospira shall promptly inform Genzyme of any notice, written or oral, received from any of its materials suppliers regarding a possible shortage.  If Hospira’s Inability to Supply is not attributable to Genzyme’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, then Hospira shall be solely responsible for undertaking all commercially reasonable measures to minimize any possible shortage of Product to Genzyme.  If such inability is partial, Hospira shall fulfill Purchase Orders with such quantities of Product as are available for supply to Genzyme hereunder.

 

9.2          Inability to Supply.

 

(a)           Delays in Production.  In the event that Hospira experiences, or anticipates that it will experience, a delay in Manufacturing and supplying Products to Genzyme for more than [**] days, the Parties will promptly meet to discuss and formulate options to resolve the delay and to minimize the impact of the delay on Genzyme and its customers.  Such options will include, without limitation (i) plans to temporarily shift Manufacturing of one or more of the Products from Hospira’s Facilities to one of Genzyme’s manufacturing facilities, (ii) plans to shift Manufacture of one or more Products from dedicated filling lines or other production equipment at the McPherson, Kansas Facility to other qualified lines and equipment at such Facility, or (iii) plans to shift Manufacture of one or more of the Products to the Liscate, Italy Facility.  Upon notification of such actual or anticipated delay, all Purchase Orders accepted

19



 

by Hospira and all outstanding Purchase Orders affected by such Inability to Supply shall be tolled, pending resolution of the delay.

 

(b)           Minimums Reduced.  Genzyme’s Minimum Purchase Requirement for the calendar year in which a delay in Manufacture and/or supply of Products has occurred shall be reduced by the quantities of Product affected by the Inability to Supply, whether Purchase Orders were partially filled, cancelled outright by Genzyme as a result of the Inability to Supply, or Product is obtained from any Third Party manufacturer as a result of such Inability to Supply.

 

9.3          Contract Manufacturer.  In the case of an Inability to Supply that Hospira is unable to resolve in whole or in major part within [**] days, or if Hospira notifies Genzyme that it will not be able to alleviate such Inability to Supply within such [**] day period, Genzyme may, upon notice to Hospira, terminate the relevant Project SOW, and Genzyme may contract with a Third Party contract manufacturer to supply the Product.

 

9.4          Transfer Assistance.  In the event that Genzyme contracts with a Third Party contract manufacturer, as contemplated in Section 9.3, Hospira shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a reasonable period of time to assist Genzyme in the transfer of the Project SOW information to the Third Party contract manufacturer.  Hospira shall be responsible for [**], and shall [**] as set forth on Exhibit 9.4; provided, however, that Hospira shall not [**] in the event that an Inability to Supply has been caused by an event of Force Majeure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall require Hospira to disclose any Hospira intellectual property rights or Hospira Confidential Information to such Third Party manufacturer, nor grant Genzyme any right to use such rights or Hospira Confidential Information.

 

9.5          Definition.  For purposes of this Master Agreement, “Inability to Supply” means:  (i) Hospira’s failure to supply at least [**] of Genzyme’s requirements for Product meeting Product Specifications for any [**] for any reason, or (ii) Genzyme reasonably concludes that Hospira, due to [**] of Genzyme’s requirements for Product meeting Product Specifications for a period which is expected to continue in excess of [**] days.  Inability to Supply shall not include [**] this Master Agreement.

 

Article 10.            QUALITY

 

10.1        Quality Control.  Hospira shall apply its quality control procedures and in-plant quality control checks to the Manufacture of the Products for Genzyme in the same manner as Hospira applies such procedures and checks to products of similar nature manufactured for sale by Hospira.  In addition, Hospira will test and release the Products in accordance with the test methods described in the relevant Project SOW to ensure that the Products conform to the Product Specifications.  The Parties may change the test methods from time to time by mutual written agreement.

 

10.2        Quality Technical Agreement.  The Parties have entered into a Quality Technical Agreement as attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2.  Authorized personnel of the Parties may amend

15.1        Force Majeure and Failure of Suppliers.

 

(a)           Excusable Delay.  Neither Party shall be considered to be in breach of any relevant Project SOW or this Master Agreement if a delay in the performance of any of its duties or obligations hereunder (except the payment of money) has been caused by or is the result of an act of God, acts of a public enemy, acts of terrorism, insurrections, riots, embargoes, labor disputes, including strikes, lockouts, job actions, boycotts, fires, explosions, floods, shortages of material or energy, or other unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Party so affected (each an event of  “Force Majeure”).  The performance of the affected Party shall be extended for a period equal to the period of such delay; provided, however, that affected Party shall give prompt notice to the other Party of such cause, and shall promptly take whatever reasonable steps are necessary to relieve the effect of such force majeure and resume compliance with the relevant Project SOW or this Master Agreement as soon as possible.  Should the event of Force Majeure continue for a period longer than ninety (90) days, then the Party not so affected may terminate the relevant Project SOW in accordance with Section 13.3(a)(iii).  Should the event of Force Majeure continue for a period longer than one hundred and eighty (180) days, then the Party not so affected may terminate this Master Agreement in accordance with Section 13.3(b)(iii).
