BACKGROUND
A.
Hovione possesses the necessary
facilities, equipment, manufacturing technology, professional expertise,
personnel, and capacity to manufacture API and to furnish Allos with a
continuing API supply, and desires to undertake API manufacturing for Allos and

B.
The Parties executed a term sheet on
March 25, 1999 providing the principal terms under which Hovione would
manufacture and supply certain of Allos’s requirements of API (the

(each, a “Planning Forecast”) and (b) [ * ]
forecast projecting estimated quantities that will be ordered by Allos during
the following [ * ] (each, a “Manufacturing Forecast”)
split over [ * ] calendar quarters. All estimates set forth
in Planning Forecasts and Manufacturing Forecasts shall not constitute a
contractual commitment by Allos for such quantities; however, such
estimates shall constitute Allos’s anticipated maximum level of demand
and utilization of capacity for API production, subject to Section 4.3(c),
and Hovione may use such estimates for facilities, personnel, production and
campaign scheduling and budget planning purposes. The Parties agree that
each annual Manufacturing campaign undertaken by Hovione shall be no smaller
than that stated in Attachment B under “3. Minimum
API Lot Sizes for Pricing,” and that Hovione may produce a campaign
of any amount that is supported by Allos’ Planning and Manufacturing
Forecasts. No less than [ * ] prior to the start of the annual
campaign, Hovione shall inform Allos of its proposed format, quantity and
calendar (“Campaign Plan”). Should Allos require that
the campaign be any different than proposed, it shall notify Hovione in writing
no less than [ * ] prior to its planned conclusion and Hovione will use
good faith efforts to adjust the campaign in accordance with Allos’
request. If requested by Hovione, Allos shall promptly issue Purchase
Orders in amounts that justify the requested changes to the Campaign Plan.
4.2
Delivery Forecast. [ * ] before each [ * ] during
the Commercial Supply Phase, Allos shall provide Hovione with an [ * ]
written rolling Forecast of the estimated total amount of API that Allos
anticipates it will order from Hovione (“Delivery Forecast”).

The first [ * ] of each
Delivery Forecast shall be firm commitments as to quantities and month for
delivery. The [ * ] of a Delivery Forecast shall be
non-binding estimates for informational purposes only. Allos may revise
the estimated portions of Delivery Forecast [ * ] as and when it deems
appropriate. Pricing shall be based on the first [ * ] of the
Delivery Forecast submitted for the beginning of each [ * ], with
corrections made upon the delivery of the Purchase Order for the [ * ],
unless annual pricing thresholds are exceeded by earlier Purchase Orders.
(b)
Allos shall provide to Hovione the
first Planning Forecast for the Commercial Supply Phase within [ * ]
after the date Allos first submits a Regulatory Submission to apply for
Marketing Approval in any country.

(c)
No later than [ * ] after
receipt of either a Manufacturing Forecast or Planning Forecast from Allos,

requirements stated in Attachment B under “1. API
Purchase/Supply Minimums.”
(b)
During the Commercial Supply Phase,
Allos shall provide Hovione with Purchase Orders on Allos’s forms for [
* ] at least [ * ] before the start of such [ * ]. Each
Purchase Order shall be formally accepted by Hovione within [ * ] of its
transmission, and shall not be rejected unless Allos has either not observed
the [ * ] of each Delivery Forecast (subject to Section 4.3(c))
or materially breached the Agreement and despite written notice from Hovione
has failed to cure such breach. Any Purchase Order not rejected by
Hovione within [ * ] shall be deemed accepted. If there is a
conflict between the terms contained in this Agreement and the terms contained
in any of Allos’s standard form Purchase Orders, any delivery documents
or in Hovione’s acceptance documents, the terms of this Agreement shall
govern.
(c)
Each Purchase Order submitted to
Hovione by Allos shall state the specific quantities of API requested by Allos,
which shall be based on API batch sizes, the expected minimum size of which is
provided in Attachment B under “3. Minimum API
Lot Sizes for Pricing,” and shall include the expected delivery
date(s) for such quantity of API ordered. Subject to Hovione’s
written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, the aggregate
Purchase Orders for a [ * ] shall not be less than [ * ] nor more
than [ * ] of the amount estimated for that [ * ] in the most
recent Delivery Forecast for that quarter; provided, that Hovione shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to timely supply Purchase Orders in
excess of [ * ] of the applicable Delivery Forecast. Deliveries
against Purchase Orders shall be made on the dates specified in the Purchase
Order.
(d)
During the Commercial Supply Phase,
Allos shall notify Hovione if Allos desires to cancel or reduce the quantities
of API ordered in a Purchase Order that has been accepted by Hovione. If
such notification is provided to Hovione less than [ * ] prior to the
requested delivery date for API contained in such Purchase Order, Allos shall
be solely liable to Hovione for: (i) losses actually incurred (as
evidenced by written documentation) because of the underutilization of the
operational portion of the Facility that would have ordinarily been used in API
Manufacturing but could not be rescheduled for other uses, and (ii) the
costs of Raw Materials purchased by Hovione to Manufacture that Purchase Order
(including Waste disposal costs) that could not be returned for credit or
refund by Hovione or that could not be used by Hovione for other purposes,
including subsequent API Manufacturing. Such losses for each cancelled
kilogram of API shall not exceed the amount set forth in Attachment B
for that quantity of API.

10
(e)
If, in Allos’ sole discretion,
at the time of placing a Purchase Order, Allos pays to Hovione a non-refundable
pre-payment equal to [ * ] of the value of such Purchase Order, then
Hovione will be deemed to have expressly waived the Commercial Phase minimum
campaign size requirement set forth in Attachment B under
“3. Minimum API Lot Sizes for Pricing,” in connection with
such Purchase Order and Allos shall have the right to cancel all or part of
