OA will develop and execute the Marketing Plan according to reasonable efforts.

[                      ]

 

 

4.9

The Marketing Plan for each Country, or group of Countries, in the Territory shall be reviewed and updated at least every twelve (12) months by OA, whereby OA shall submit updates to VGN and VGN shall have ten (10) calendar days to provide comments and recommendations for changes to OA, in accordance with Article 4.4.

VGN will take all reasonable steps within its control to ensure that it supplies Product according to OA’s desired launch date.

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 mail, or via

facsimile to VGN at its ViraNative, AB facility in Umeå, Sweden. VGN shall 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 ensure OA has adequate inventory to fulfill its Annual Product Forecasts, frequent communications are desirable.

Article 8: Orders and Delivery of Products

 

 

8.1

No later than thirty (30) calendar days before the beginning of each calendar quarter, or more frequently, as agreed between the Parties, beginning on or prior to the anticipated date of Reimbursement Authorization in a Country in the Territory and continuing throughout the Term of this Agreement, OA will submit a 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 Delivery Date(s) for quantities ordered. VGN will confirm receipt and acceptance of all POs in writing.

 

 

8.2

The maximum time required by VGN, from the date of receipt of a PO from OA to the date the first quantity of Product is shipped from the manufacturing facility is [                      ].

 

 

8.2.1

In the event VGN confirms receipt of a PO and fails to ship quantities [                      ] of the dates stated in the PO (or such later date as agreed between the Parties excluding reasons of Force Majeure as further defined in Article 22), VGN shall be assessed a late-delivery penalty.

 

 

8.2.2

The late-delivery penalty shall be [                      ] off the total invoice price for every calendar day a shipment exceeds the [                      ] expectation, provided that the aggregate value of such penalty shall not exceed the total invoice price.

8.3

The SKU for the Product and the minimum quantities of SKUs to be provided to OA are specified in Exhibit 5 to this Agreement. Any changes to these must be agreed by both Parties and OA agrees that its purchase quantities will comply with these minimum quantities and will construct its POs accordingly, however the Parties agree that it may be necessary for OA to purchase quantities of Product less than the minimum quantity in the Initial Period in accordance with Article 8.11.

 

 

8.4

Once a PO is confirmed as received by VGN, such PO is binding and OA may not change or cancel that PO for any reason, except in the case of any material breach of this Agreement by VGN. Such confirmation must be sent by VGN within 7 days.

 

 

8.5

VGN may not cancel any confirmed PO received from OA, except in the case of any material breach of this Agreement by OA.

 

 

8.6

The Purchase Price for the Products will be that price in effect on the date each quantity is shipped from VGN and as specified in Exhibit 1 and in Amendments thereto.

 

 

8.7

OA, at its sole discretion, will select a carrier for temperature-controlled transport of Product to its distribution warehouse(s) from VGN’s manufacturing site in Umeå, Sweden. Title to Product will pass to OA at the time the Product is delivered to the carrier on the Shipment Date.

 

 

8.7.1

VGN will package Product for shipping in appropriate insulated containers with frozen gel packs and a calibrated temperature logger to document temperature during shipment. Should the Parties agree on a different method of packaging the Product for shipment, an Amendment will be added to the Approved Product Specifications identifying the details of such changes.

 

 

8.8

OA will be responsible for payment of all transport costs, including export/import fees, duties, taxes, insurance, Australian Quarantine Inspection Service permits and any other costs necessary to transport the Product. OA shall supply the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service permits to VGN with each PO and VGN shall complete the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service permits required for shipment of Product and shall supply such permits with the Product at the time of shipment to OA.

 

 

8.9

Product manufactured by VGN is temperature-sensitive and is labeled with temperature storage requirements, in accordance with Registrations. OA acknowledges this fact and will take this into account when selecting and contracting with a carrier so that Product handled by that carrier is not adulterated via improper storage and shipping conditions with respect to temperature controls. VGN shall not be liable for any damage to Product, concealed or otherwise, that is due to handling, storage or shipping conditions by the carrier selected by OA or by OA itself.

After the Initial Period, the Product shelf-life supplied to OA [                      ]. Failure to comply with this and resulting in OA to be left with out-of-expiry stock will entitle OA to a credit for such stock.

 

 

8.12

The Pharmaceutical Benefits Branch (PBB) obligates sponsors to provide them with 6 months notification of lack of supply or cessation of supply of product that has received Reimbursement Authorisation and that failure to do so will incur financial penalty. VGN is thus obligated to provide OA six months notice of lack of supply or cessation of supply of the Product.

 

 

8.13

In relation to clause 8.12, where VGN does not provide such necessary information to OA and OA incurs a penalty from the PBB, OA reserves the right to recoup the penalty fee which it has suffered.

 

 

8.14

VGN shall not be obligated to accept or supply any orders for Products that are in excess of one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the average quantities of Products ordered during the two preceding calendar quarters.
