2.1                     SPECIFICATIONS.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, SELLER shall sell and BUYER shall purchase (i) the oral care layer (which includes the proprietary formulation thereof) that contains and allows for the controlled release of whitening agent when used as a component of tooth-whitening strip products, and (ii) bulk strip material, essentially consisting of the oral care layer, a polymer film backing and a release liner suitable for die-cutting, forming, and packaging into the finished product being produced by BUYER, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this AGREEMENT (“GOODS”) in strict compliance with the specifications as set forth in the Specification Sheet(s) which are attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and as may be amended from time to time in accordance with the Section entitled SPECIFICATION CHANGES (“SPECIFICATIONS”).

 

SELLER shall be responsible for certain manufacturing obligations, including but not limited to the sourcing and warehousing of raw materials and packaging of the in process materials, compounding, component preparation, incoming and outgoing quality control, fabrication, inspecting, labeling, of any GOODS, or any part thereof, as well as associated activities, in accordance with the SPECIFICATIONS and the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT (All such activities shall be referred to herein as “MANUFACTURE,” “MANUFACTURING,” “MANUFACTURED”).

 

2.2                     SPECIFICATION CHANGES.

 

2.2.1                     GENERAL.

 

From time to time, BUYER may request that the SPECIFICATIONS be revised, supplemented or otherwise amended by giving written notice to SELLER.  Any alteration to the SPECIFICATIONS shall be agreed between the parties, and such agreement will include, but not be limited to, agreeing on the implications (if any) on the price of the GOODS and the cost of validation of any such alteration.  Any SPECIFICATIONS revised in accordance with this AGREEMENT shall become effective thirty (30) calendar days after BUYER and SELLER have agreed upon the proposed revision (“CHANGE DATE”).  SELLER shall consider any such request for change to the SPECIFICATIONS in accordance with the approach set forth in Recital D to this AGREEMENT. If, however, a change in the SPECIFICATIONS is requested by either PARTY as the result of BUYER or SELLER being approached by or sued by a third party concerning an allegation of patent infringement relating to the development, manufacture, use, distribution, or sale of the GOODS, the PARTIES shall first follow the procedure described above for considering any proposed change to the SPECIFICATIONS.  If, following such process the PARTIES have not agreed to change the SPECIFICATIONS as requested by BUYER upon receiving notice within a reasonable time, but not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days then BUYER shall be entitled to: (1) terminate this AGREEMENT pursuant to the terms of Section 7.3, provided, however, that such right may be exercised at any time, (2) purchase the

GOODS from other suppliers in which case the obligations of BUYER and SELLER hereunder shall be reduced accordingly, or (3) continue to purchase under this AGREEMENT.

 

2.3                     PRODUCTION PROCESS AND/OR RAW MATERIAL CHANGES.

 

SELLER shall not make (a) any change to the raw materials and pack material, or any portion or component of the GOODS, or (b) any material change to the production process, the production equipment or the production location(s) relating to SELLER’s performance under this AGREEMENT, in either case unless and until SELLER has obtained BUYER’s prior written consent. BUYER will give reasonable consideration to such proposed changes in accordance with the approach set forth in Recital D to this AGREEMENT, but shall be entitled to reject any such change.  In the event that BUYER determines to reject any such proposed change it shall advise SELLER of the reasons for such rejection.  If, however, the change in the raw materials, pack materials, any portion or component of the GOODS, or change to the production process, the production equipment or the production location is requested by BUYER as the result of BUYER or SELLER being approached by or sued by a third party concerning an allegation of patent infringement relating to the raw materials, pack materials, any portion or component of the GOODS, or change to the production process, the production equipment or the production location, and the PARTIES have not agreed to make the change as requested by BUYER upon receiving notice within a reasonable time, but not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days then BUYER shall be entitled to: (1) terminate this AGREEMENT pursuant to the terms of Section 7.3, provided, however, that such right may be exercised at any time, including prior to the first anniversary of the first shipment of GOODS hereunder, (2) purchase the GOODS from other suppliers in which case the obligations of BUYER and SELLER hereunder shall be reduced accordingly, or (3) continue to purchase under this AGREEMENT.

Upon expiration or termination of this AGREEMENT, SELLER shall compile an inventory of all items to be disposed of for agreement with BUYER as to which items require disposal and which will be transferred to BUYER.

2.5.1                     QUALIFIED SUPPLIERS.

 

SELLER’S current suppliers as listed in the then current QUALITY AGREEMENT and attached hereto as reference shall be deemed qualified by BUYER for all purposes under this AGREEMENT.  Neither BUYER nor SELLER shall supply or arrange for supply of MATERIALS from third parties other than those set forth in the QUALITY AGREEMENT without the other PARTY’s prior written consent.

3.1                     RETURN, REWORK & SCRAPPING.

 

Upon receipt of GOODS, BUYER shall inspect such GOODS for conformance with the SPECIFICATIONS.  Any GOODS not rejected within [*] will be deemed accepted; provided, however, that such acceptance of GOODS shall not constitute a waiver of any claim BUYER may have under this AGREEMENT, including, but not limited to, claims under Section 9.

 

Upon SELLER’s receipt of a notice of nonconformance from BUYER with respect to rejected GOODS, (i) SELLER will rework or replace defective GOODS and materials, at no additional cost to BUYER; or (ii) BUYER may return such GOODS for credit to BUYER, at the full PRICE, plus the actual, expenses incurred by BUYER in returning the GOODS to SELLER (such as packaging and transportation costs) ; or (iii) SELLER and BUYER may agree to alternative solutions; however, BUYER is always free to elect either (i) or (ii) above.  In the event of any dispute regarding whether any GOODS rejected by BUYER conform to the SPECIFICATIONS, the parties shall submit such GOODS for testing by an independent laboratory to determine whether such GOODS do or do not meet the SPECIFICATIONS.  The non-prevailing party shall pay the fees for such testing and the costs associated with shipping the GOODS to the laboratory for testing.  The rights and remedies set forth in this Section 3.1 are not exclusive and nothing herein shall limit the rights and remedies either party may have under this AGREEMENT or at LAW.

 

In accordance with the approach set forth in Recital D of this AGREEMENT, the PARTIES will evaluate increases or adjustments to the thirty day rejection period described above in the event of changes in product characteristics or stability.

 

3.2                     QUALITY CONTROL AND TESTING.

 

3.2.1                     TESTING AND CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS.

 

Prior to the use of any article(s), chemical or other component(s) or composition(s) in the MANUFACTURING of the GOODS, SELLER shall, at SELLER’s expense, test, or otherwise determine, that such article(s), chemical or other component(s) or composition(s) are in compliance with the SPECIFICATIONS and the QUALITY AGREEMENT (“GMP”).

3.2.2                     SAMPLING

 

At SELLER’s expense, SELLER shall retain from each roll of GOODS MANUFACTURED samples of two (2) linear feet for a period required by GMP or LAWS, and will provide BUYER with duplicate samples.

 

3.2.3                     THIRD PARTY INQUIRIES.

 

SELLER shall advise BUYER of any proposed or unannounced visit or inspection by any governmental authority in accordance with the QUALITY AGREEMENT.

 

3.2.4                     QUALITY ASSURANCE.

 

SELLER represents and warrants that SELLER shall be at all times in material compliance with the quality standards as described in the Quality Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2.4 (the “QUALITY AGREEMENT”).

 

4.0                     QUANTITY.

 

4.1                     PURCHASE & SALE OBLIGATIONS.

 

BUYER has provided SELLER with a non-binding [*] purchase forecast for GOODS for the period beginning January 1, 2010, detailing the volumes for each product by month, including requirements for launch quantities, retail product, sampling and promotions.  Thereafter, [*] prior to the start of the next succeeding calendar quarter, BUYER shall provide seller a new non-binding purchase forecast for GOODS detailing the projected volumes for each consecutive [*] period (the “Rolling Forecast”). By way of example, on each [*], a Rolling Forecast will be submitted for the [*] period beginning on [*]; on each [*], a Rolling Forecast will be submitted for the [*] period beginning on [*]; and on each [*], a Rolling Forecast will be submitted for the [*] period beginning on [*].

 

The Rolling Forecasts as submitted above will dictate the average [*] volumes for the upcoming [*] and all Purchase Orders submitted during that [*] will be at the corresponding price for that Capacity Window, regardless of the actual [*] Purchase Order levels. A Capacity Window is the set of volume ranges of production available for the order of Products as set forth in Exhibit 6.1.  So long as the average [*] volumes submitted in Purchase Orders during any given calendar quarter remain within the Capacity Window determined by the Rolling Forecast submitted prior to that quarter, the parties agree to “smooth out” the manufacture of the product to meet BUYER’S delivery schedule as provided in the [*] Purchase Orders and to maximize the efficiency of SELLER’S production staffing schedule.  For the avoidance of doubt, if BUYER submits a [*] Purchase Order for GOODS outside of the amount in the Capacity Window, SELLER will accept such Purchase Order if the total average [*] volumes remain within the applicable Capacity Window.  Should BUYER’S demand for GOODS move outside of the current Capacity Window in the middle of a [*], the parties will negotiate options to reset the [*] period to adjust to market conditions.

 

Additionally, BUYER will submit Purchase Orders on a [*] basis in accordance with section 4.2 below, and at all times there will be [*] of firm production orders and [*] of estimated planned orders in the system. The firm production orders, combined with the planned orders will constitute BUYER’s authorization to SELLER to

purchase the raw materials necessary to fill the orders for such period.  Should the materials ordered in [*] period not be used within [*], BUYER will purchase the excess materials from SELLER at SELLER’s actual cost.

 

In accordance with the approach set forth in Recital D of this AGREEMENT, the PARTIES will collaborate on capacity increases as necessary to meet increases in BUYER’s forecasted demand for GOODS.

 

4.2                     PURCHASE ORDERS.

 

Each purchase order from BUYER to SELLER shall specify the exact quantity of GOODS requested, the scheduled delivery date for such quantity (the “DELIVERY DATE”) and packaging and shipping instructions.  Each purchase order for GOODS shall be in accordance with Section 4.1 above with respect to order quantities.  The minimum production lot size is [*] of GOODS per [*]. The maximum production capacity is [*].  In no event will a DELIVERY DATE scheduled by BUYER be less than [*] after the date the purchase order is received by SELLER, except with the prior written consent of SELLER.  SELLER shall acknowledge each purchase order within [*] after receipt.  SELLER shall accept and supply GOODS in accordance with the terms of purchase orders issued in compliance with Sections 4.1 and 4.2 and the maximum capacity set forth in Section 4.1 above.  Once accepted by SELLER, BUYER may cancel or reschedule purchase orders for GOODS only with SELLER’s prior written approval.  SELLER shall deliver GOODS at the times specified in BUYER’s purchase orders, unless such orders have been rejected by SELLER in accordance with this Section 4.2.

 

4.3                     REDUCTION OR DISCONTINUANCE OF PURCHASES.

 

Notwithstanding Section 4.2, SELLER acknowledges and agrees that BUYER may deem it necessary, from time to time, to reduce or discontinue purchases of the GOODS covered by this AGREEMENT because of (i) product or packaging reformulation; (ii) process change; (iii) changes in technology; (iv) changes in the laws governing the GOODS, the sale or distribution of the GOODS; (v) changes in the sale or distribution of the GOODS; (vi) the discontinuance of the product incorporating the GOODS; (vii) divestiture of the business in which the GOODS reside; (viii) BUYER exercises its right to relocate production in accordance with the LICENSE AGREEMENT; or (ix) any other similar reasons.  In such event BUYER shall provide SELLER with reasonable, but not less than [*], prior written notice of any such reduction or discontinuance, and BUYER shall be entitled to thereupon reduce or discontinue further purchases of GOODS from SELLER hereunder without any penalty, liability or further obligation.

 

5.0                     RECALLS

 

5.1                     NOTICE OF RECALL.

 

If any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the GOODS or the products into which the GOODS are incorporated requires BUYER to recall the product into which the GOODS are incorporated, BUYER shall immediately notify SELLER and review with SELLER the basis for the recall.  BUYER shall make the final determination regarding the need for any voluntary recall, and, subject to applicable legal requirements, the manner of conducting any voluntary or mandatory recall.

5.2                     LOSS OF RECALL.

 

BUYER will be responsible for all costs associated with any recall. SELLER will reimburse BUYER for that portion of any actual, out of pocket expenses incurred in conducting a recall that is attributable to (i) a failure of the GOODS to meet the SPECIFICATIONS, or any other breach by SELLER of its representations, warranties, or other obligations under this AGREEMENT, or (ii) SELLER’s gross negligence, intentional or willful misconduct.  In the event that a recall is attributable to SELLER’s gross negligence, intentional or willful misconduct, SELLER shall reimburse BUYER for any and all damages, losses, expenses, and costs incurred in connection with conducting such recall, including indirect, incidental, special, punitive, and consequential damages. For purposes of this AGREEMENT, “gross negligence” shall mean any act or failure to act (whether sole, joint or concurrent) which is in reckless disregard of or indifference to the harmful consequences of such action.

 

In the event that scientific testing and investigation costs are incurred in order to determine whether or not SELLER bears any responsibility for the recall, BUYER shall pay for such testing, subject to reimbursement as described above it if is determined that SELLER bears some portion of the responsibility for the recall.

In the event actual volume in a quarter falls outside of the agreed to price tier, BUYER and SELLER will reconcile to the appropriate price tier.

 

6.2                     TAXES.

 

6.2.1          SELLER shall be responsible for and pay all fees, expenses, charges, costs, and taxes payable relating to the raw materials and packaging used by SELLER in connection with the production of the GOODS imposed by a governmental or regulatory body (including, without limitation, any sales, use, excise, value-added, services, consumption, and other taxes and duties) the taxable incident of which occurs prior to or upon buyer’s receipt of title of goods (“TAXES”).  For the avoidance of doubt, TAXES shall not mean to include any import/export duties, levies or charges or customs related expenses.

 

6.2.2          SELLER shall be responsible for and pay any personal property TAXES on property it owns or leases, for franchise and privilege TAXES on its business, and for TAXES based on its net income or gross receipts.

 

6.2.3          SELLER’s invoices shall separately state the amount of any TAXES that SELLER is charging BUYER, to the extent applicable. SELLER shall make available to BUYER any resale certificates, information regarding out-of-state or out-of-country sales or use of equipment, materials or services, and other exemption certificates or information reasonably requested by BUYER.
