|
Article 7: Annual Product
Forecasts
|
|
7.1
|
[
], OA will submit to VGN its first Annual Product Forecast and its
first PO for the Product, for the Country. As other Countries are
approved for reimbursement, these will be added to the Annual
Product Forecast. The Parties may agree to consolidate groups of
Countries into regions for the purpose of creating and updating the
Annual Product Forecast. In the event individual Countries are
added after other Countries are already approved, and provided the
labeling and packaging are in a common language, the Parties may
agree to limit the requirement for submission of a Country-specific
PO and instead simply add to planned POs for purchases of Product.
This allowance does not apply to the Annual Product
Forecast.
|
|
|
7.2
|
The Annual
Product Forecast will represent OA’s best estimate, to its
reasonable knowledge, of the quantities of Product it expects to
order from VGN during the subsequent 12-month period, expressed on
a calendar quarter basis, and for each Country in the Territory.
This stipulation applies only to those Countries that require
labeling in a different language. Where more than one Country
requires the same language for labeling and packaging materials,
these Countries may be grouped together with respect to the Annual
Product Forecast.
|
|
|
7.3
|
The Annual
Product Forecast shall be expressed in SKUs, with one SKU
representing the smallest quantity OA plans to sell to any third
party (e.g., a carton, a case, etc.), and shall be a non-binding
forecast.
|
|
|
7.4
|
The Annual
Product Forecast shall be in a format mutually agreeable to the
Parties and shall be communicated via hard copy, via electronic

confirm receipt of the Annual Product Forecast, in writing to OA,
along with any questions or comments.
|
|
|
7.5
|
No later than
thirty (30) calendar days prior to the end of each subsequent
calendar quarter, OA will update the Annual Product Forecast and
submit the update to VGN. These quarterly updates are intended to
provide OA with the opportunity to regularly communicate changes in
demand for the Product and to provide VGN with as much prior notice
as possible that changes in manufacturing schedules may be
necessary.
|
|
|
7.6
|
In the event OA
becomes aware of significant and immediate market dynamics that
cause it to believe that a change in the Annual Product Forecast
should be urgently communicated to VGN, OA may submit a
non-scheduled, updated Annual Product Forecast at its own
discretion and to which VGN will respond on a timely basis in the
spirit of cooperation.
|
|
|
7.7
|
VGN will use
commercially reasonable efforts to maintain sufficient
manufacturing capacity to supply OA with its requirements according
to the Annual Product Forecast and updates thereto. In order to

PO to VGN at its ViraNative AB subsidiary location in Umeå,
Sweden, specifying the quantities of Product it will require for
the subsequent calendar quarter, and will specify the Requested
