4. ORDERS; DELIVERY; PERIODIC REVIEWS

4.1 Forecasts.

(a) On or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each Month, Customer shall furnish Supplier with a rolling forecast of the number of units of each Product (on a Product Group-by-Product Group basis or Product SKU-by-SKU basis as set forth in the applicable Statement of Work) that Customer reasonably expects to order for the following twelve (12) Months beginning with the following Month (the “Rolling Forecast”). The initial Rolling Forecast, which has been initially agreed by the Parties, is attached to the applicable Statement of Work. Each Rolling Forecast must comply with Customer’s Monthly Period Product Quantity Minimum commitment with respect to each Product Group or Product SKU, as applicable and must forecast quantities of Product in integer multiples of the Minimum Lot Size for each applicable Product Group or Product SKU, as applicable, but may not, for any forecasted Month, exceed the Monthly Period Product Quantity Cap with respect to any Product Group or Product SKU, as applicable. Except as otherwise set forth in the Statement of Work, the first three (3) Months of each Rolling Forecast shall be binding upon Customer and Supplier (each, a “Binding Commitment”) and each of Months four (4) through twelve (12) of each Rolling Forecast may be increased or decreased by Customer by no more than the percent set forth in the applicable Statement of Work (under the heading “Rolling Forecast Change Parameter”) of the number of units of such Product (on a Product Group-by-Product Group basis or Product SKU-by-SKU basis as set forth on the applicable Statement of Work) for the same Month in the immediately preceding submitted Rolling Forecast (each, a “Semi-Binding Commitment”). To the extent that a Rolling Forecast is not communicated by the Customer by fifteenth (15th) day of the then-current Month, the Parties agree that the Rolling Forecast for such Month shall be established by giving effect to the most recent Rolling Forecast and substituting the remaining Months with the quantity set forth in the Monthly Period Product Quantity Cap for any remaining Months of the most recent Rolling Forecast, subject, in all cases, to the limitations and requirements set forth in Section 2.2 and this Section 4.1.

(b) With respect to each Fiscal Year during the Term following Year 1, on or before July 31 of the prior Fiscal Year, Customer shall submit to Supplier an initial forecast of orders by Product for such Fiscal Year, and shall be deemed to be the Rolling Forecast for the period starting on October 1 of such Fiscal Year and ending on September 30 of such Fiscal Year. Supplier shall update each and every Product SKU pricing, consistent with the Pricing Principles, by August 31^st prior to the upcoming Fiscal Year, which shall be the pricing for the next Fiscal Year. Such updated price list shall be deemed to supersede and replace the prior pricing in each Statement of Work. The new pricing shall be effective on October 1 of the applicable Fiscal Year.

4.2 Purchase Orders.

(a) On the Effective Date, Customer shall place a Purchase Order for Products in the Purchased Inventory, which Customer shall acquire at no cost. For clarity, no Purchased Inventory included in such initial Purchase Order shall be counted against any Monthly Period Product Quantity Minimum, Monthly Period Product Quantity Cap or Yearly Period Product Quantity Cap required hereunder, and the Purchased Inventory shall not be subject to the Minimum Lot Size or considered part of any Rolling Forecast.

(b) Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the first day of each Month, Customer shall submit a Conforming Purchase Order for the quantity of Products set forth for the first Month of the then-current Binding Commitment. All Conforming Purchase Orders shall become binding on Supplier and Customer when received by Supplier, subject to Section 2.2.

(c) Customer may, from time to time, in Customer’s discretion, place a Purchase Order for Products that is not a Conforming Purchase Order (a “Non-Conforming Purchase Order”). To the extent the quantity of a Product set forth for any Month on a Non-Conforming Purchase Order (when combined with the quantity of such Product set forth in the Conforming Purchase Order for such Month submitted pursuant to Section 4.2(b)) exceeds the Binding Commitment in such month or the Monthly Period Product Quantity Cap for such Product, the Parties will work together in good faith to attempt to meet Customer’s demand, subject to capacity limitations, the availability of Raw Materials and the availability and capacity of Supplier’s third party service providers; provided that Supplier shall have no obligation to meet such additional demand or otherwise supply Product pursuant to any Non-Conforming Purchase Order. Notwithstanding anything provided herein to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge that in the event that BD, as Customer hereunder, places a Conforming Purchase Order to SpinCo, as Supplier hereunder, that SpinCo cannot satisfy solely based on BD’s inability or limitations to supply Raw Material under any Ancillary Agreement (taking into consideration, among other things, SpinCo’s ability to procure the substantial equivalent of such Raw Materials from third parties), then SpinCo, as Supplier hereunder, shall not be in breach of this Agreement solely because of SpinCo’s inability to fulfil such Conforming Purchase Order, and only for the duration of BD’s inability or limitations to supply Raw Material under any Ancillary Agreement, and the Parties shall work in good faith to resolve such issues.

(d) The terms and conditions of each Purchase Order (including any Conforming Purchase Order and Non-Conforming Purchase Order) shall be consistent with this Agreement and the Statement of Work, and to the extent any Purchase Order, invoice, acknowledgment or other form used by Supplier or Customer contains any provisions that are in addition to or contrary to the provisions of this Agreement or the Statement of Work, such additional or contrary provision shall have no force or effect and the terms of this Agreement or the Statement of Work, as applicable, shall govern (unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing).

(e) Any portion of or all of a Purchase Order (including any Conforming Purchase Order and Non-Conforming Purchase Order) that is not submitted in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed rejected by Supplier unless accepted by Supplier by written notice provided by Supplier to Customer within fifteen (15) days of receipt by Supplier of such Purchase Order. For clarity, any rejected Purchase Order shall not constitute a Purchase Order in satisfaction of Customer’s obligation to purchase the Monthly Period Product Quantity Minimum.

4.3 Delivery; Title; Risk of Loss. Delivery terms for Products shall be FCA warehouse. Title and risk of loss of the Products shall pass to Customer upon receipt by Customer’s carrier.

4.4 Product Inspection; Acceptance.

(a) Customer shall have the right to inspect any shipment of Products for damage, failure to provide the quantity provided in a Purchase Order or other non-conformity with Supplier’s warranties set forth in Section 5.1, in each case at the time of delivery pursuant to Section 4.3, within the period of sixty (60) days from the date of delivery of such Products (the “Inspection Period”), provided, however, with respect to any non-conformity with Supplier’s warranties set forth in Section 5.1 that is not reasonably detectable, the Inspection Period shall be extended to the date that is the earlier of (a) fifteen (15) days after the date such non-conformity is first detected. Claims on account of non-conformity, loss or damage to Product shall be made by Customer in writing within the applicable Inspection Period (a “Rejection Notice”). Any such Rejection Notice shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting evidence that shows that there was a default in the quantity of the Product delivered to Customer by Supplier or that some or all of the Product delivered to Customer by Supplier was not manufactured in accordance with the applicable Specifications or otherwise breaches Supplier’s warranties set forth in Section 5.1, in each case at the time of delivery pursuant to Section 4.3. If no Rejection Notice is delivered by Customer within the applicable Inspection Period, the Product shall be deemed accepted by Customer.

(b) Customer’s sole remedy with respect to rejected Product shall be cancellation of the Purchase Order with respect to the rejected Products and shipment of replacement Products in the same quantities as provided in the previously rejected Products Purchase Order. Supplier shall resupply any replacement Products within twelve (12) weeks of Supplier’s receipt of an undisputed Rejection Notice; provided that, in each case, Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to supply such replacement Products before the end of such twelve (12)-week period, to the extent Supplier is able to do so based on Supplier’s available Raw Materials and manufacturing capacity. Supplier shall pay expenses related to the proper destruction of non-conforming Products to the extent such expense is reasonably necessary. At Supplier’s written request, Customer shall return to Supplier, at Supplier’s sole cost and expense, any non-conforming Products in accordance with the written instructions provided by Supplier to Customer.

4.5 Failure to Purchase Minimum Quantities. After the end of each applicable period during the Term, Supplier may review the quantities of each Product Group or Product SKU, as applicable, ordered by Customer pursuant to Purchase Orders during such period. If such quantities are below the Monthly Period Product Quantity Minimum or the applicable Binding Commitments for the applicable Product Groups or Product SKU, as applicable, Supplier may, after delivering to Customer the quantity of associated Products, invoice Customer for such shortfall, such invoice price to be calculated as the amount equal to the Product Price multiplied by the difference between (a) the greater of the applicable Binding Commitments or Monthly Period Product Quantity Minimum for the applicable period and (b) the number of units actually ordered pursuant to Purchase Orders for such period, in each case with respect to the applicable Product Groups and Product SKUs, as applicable. Customer shall pay such invoice within ninety (90) days of receipt, provided that the Products are or were actually delivered and conform to the requirements of this Agreement.

No less than ninety days before the anticipated expiration or termination of the Term, the Parties will cooperate in good faith to develop a plan to manage the relocation of the Fixed Assets to Customer’s possession and the transition of production of the applicable Products from Supplier to Customer or Customer’s designated Representative (such plan, the “Implementation Plan”) after such expiration or termination. During the Term, the Fixed Assets shall remain at the applicable Facility. In all cases, the Parties commit to work together cooperatively and in good faith to minimize any disruption to or interference with Supplier’s business, including minimizing the total time required for such relocation and transition. Customer shall pay for all relocation, disassembly, rigging, packing, shipping and similar charges for disassembly, removal, transportation, and installation of the Fixed Assets, along with charges for any pre-approved labor charges provided by Supplier in support of the disassembly or removal of such Fixed Assets.

7.5 Facilities; Access. Following the expiration of the Term, Supplier shall reasonably cooperate with Customer, at Customer’s sole cost and expense, to transfer and deliver any documents, correspondence or other data to effect the transfer of any manufacturing process knowledge (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any intellectual property, which shall be transferred (if at all) in accordance with the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement

and the Ancillary Agreements) with respect to the Products supplied by Supplier to Customer. In connection therewith, Supplier shall permit one or more employees of Customer with reasonable access to the Facility to observe the manufacture of Products at such times and for such periods as the Parties mutually agree, acting reasonably and in good faith. Prior to being granted access to the Facility, such employees of Customer shall execute a confidentiality agreement in a form that is reasonably acceptable to Supplier.

In the event of any requested or required artwork, packaging, or labeling modifications pursuant to this Section 8.1 (“Labeling Modifications”), Customer shall reimburse Supplier for any costs and expenses incurred by Supplier in connection with such development or implementation, and to the extent that any such artwork, packaging or labeling change increases Supplier’s cumulative cost of manufacturing, assembly, packaging, labeling, Sterilization (if applicable) or delivery of any Product, the Product Price for such Product shall be increased to reflect such cumulative cost increases. Any Labeling Modifications, including the costs noted immediately above, shall be agreed by Supplier and Customer in good faith before such Labeling Modifications are to be implemented.

To the extent reasonably possible, Customer shall consult with Supplier before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement or making any other public (or non-confidential) disclosure (whether or not in response to an inquiry) regarding any Field Action that directly or indirectly references or implicates Supplier. Customer shall be responsible for communicating with any Governmental Authorities in connection with a Field Action. Customer shall bear any costs and expenses incurred by it and by Supplier in connection with any such Field Action (including with respect to any Field Action caused by any supplier of Raw Materials); provided, however, that if a Field Action results primarily from Supplier’s breach of its warranties under Section 5.1, Supplier shall

pay the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Customer for each such Field Action in connection with Customer’s response to any such Field Action, including the cost of shipping, inspecting and sorting Products impacted by such Field Action, which reimbursable costs with respect to any such Field Action shall not, in the aggregate, exceed $1,000,000. The remedies set forth in Section 4.4(b) shall be available to Customer for (a) Products that do not conform with the warranties set forth in Section 5.1 and (b) conforming Products that Customer is required to include in a Field Action involving non-conforming Products pursuant to applicable law.

Any information of any nature obtained by either Party during any Field Action shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11.

9.2 Compliance with Laws. Supplier shall comply with applicable law with respect to the manufacture of the Products, including cGMP to the extent applicable to the Products, and shall not be required to perform or omit to perform any act required or permitted under this Agreement if such performance or omission would violate the provisions of any such law.

Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that many jurisdictions, including the United States, have in effect laws, rules and/or regulations, including the Needlestick Prevention Act in the United States (the “Safety Laws”) mandating or recommending the use of protection technologies in connection with drug delivery devices and containers (collectively, the “Safety Products”). Customer has been and will be solely responsible for making its own analysis of such Safety Products and compliance with such Safety Laws.

Subject to the terms of that certain Logistics Services Agreement and that certain Transition Services Agreement, each of even date herewith and by and between the Parties, Supplier shall not be responsible for procuring, maintaining or otherwise handling Regulatory Approvals necessary to manufacture, market and sell the Products, including the completion of any and all international registration documentation. Supplier shall continue to maintain the Regulatory Approvals necessary to manufacture the Products at the Facility.

9.5 Government Inspection; Requests for Information. Supplier shall, pursuant to applicable law, allow the FDA or any other Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over Supplier’s manufacture or Customer’s marketing and distribution of Product to inspect all areas of the Facility (and, to the extent that Supplier is contractually permitted to allow such access, third-party facilities) utilized by Supplier in the manufacture, testing, packaging, Sterilization, storage and shipment of Products sold under this Agreement, and will reasonably cooperate with such Governmental Authorities. Supplier will notify Customer as soon as is reasonably practicable after it receives notice of an inspection if it relates to any Product. In the event of any such inspection by the FDA or other Governmental Authority (including an inspection by an agency or organization appointed by the FDA or other Governmental Authority), Supplier shall contact Customer to inform Customer of such inspection and of any material non-conformity which may impact the fit, form or function or the regulatory status (510(k) or otherwise) of any of the Products supplied to Customer.

9.6 Complaints; Communications. Customer shall be responsible for handling and addressing all Complaints and customer communications (including general inquiries) concerning any Product. In the event Supplier receives or becomes aware of a Complaint or communication about any Product, Supplier shall promptly notify Customer and refer such Complaint or communication, and any relevant information or documentation obtained with respect thereto, to Customer. Customer shall be responsible for communicating with customers regarding any Complaint about any Product, unless otherwise agreed upon by both Parties during a specific complaint investigation. Each Party shall provide the other Party with the telephone numbers and names of contacts for this purpose. Customer shall be responsible for investigating any Complaint about the Products, making filing determinations with respect to any Complaint, reporting any Complaints to the applicable Governmental Authority, including, for the avoidance of doubt, filing medical device reports and ex-US vigilance reports, implementing any corrective action where necessary, and responding directly to the customer about its complaint, and Customer shall bear all costs associated therewith.

If any proceeding shall be commenced against any indemnified Party by a third party, the indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such Claim and assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified Party, at the indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, and the indemnifying Party shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying Party, at the indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, in the defense of any Claim and shall be entitled to participate in any proceeding at its expense, and the indemnifying Party shall not settle such proceeding without the indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except such consent shall not be required in the case of any settlement that includes a full and unconditional release of the indemnified Party by the plaintiff or claimant from all liability with respect to the matters that are subject to such Claim.

If any confidential and proprietary information of a Party or any of its Subsidiaries is disclosed to the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with Supplier’s supply of the Products and provision of related services and manufacturing activities hereunder, then such disclosed confidential and proprietary information shall be used only as required for Supplier’s supply of the Products and provision of related services and manufacturing activities.

11.2 No Release; Return or Destruction. Each Party agrees (a) not to release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any Confidential Information of the other Party addressed in Section 11.1 to any other Person, except its Representatives who need to know such confidential and proprietary information in their capacities as such (who shall be advised of their obligations hereunder with respect to such confidential and proprietary

information) and except in compliance with Section 11.4, and (b) to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such confidential and proprietary information in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, when any such confidential and proprietary information is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement, this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreements, each Party will promptly after request of the other Party either return to the other Party all such confidential and proprietary information in a tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or notify the other Party in writing that it has destroyed such information (and such copies thereof and such notes, extracts or summaries based thereon); provided that the Parties may retain electronic back-up versions of such confidential and proprietary information maintained on routine computer system backup tapes, disks or other backup storage devices; and provided, further, that any such retained back-up information shall remain subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.

11.3 Privacy and Data Protection Laws. Each Party shall comply with all applicable state, federal and foreign privacy and data protection laws that are or that may in the future be applicable to the supply of the Products and provision of related services and manufacturing activities under this Agreement.

In the event that a Party or any of its Subsidiaries either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is required to disclose any information pursuant to applicable law or receives any request or demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide information of the other Party (or any of its Subsidiaries) that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such Party shall notify the other Party (to the extent legally permitted) as promptly as practicable under the circumstances prior to disclosing or providing such information and shall cooperate, at the expense of the other Party, in seeking any appropriate protective order requested by the other Party. In the event that such other Party fails to receive such appropriate protective order in a timely manner and the Party receiving the request or demand reasonably determines that its failure to disclose or provide such information shall actually prejudice the Party receiving the request or demand, then the Party that received such request or demand may thereafter disclose or provide information to the extent required by such law (as so advised by its counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority and will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such confidential and proprietary information, and the disclosing Party shall promptly provide the other Party with a copy of the information so disclosed, in the same form and format so disclosed, together with a list of all Persons to whom such information was disclosed, in each case to the extent legally permitted.

11.5 Injunctive Relief. It is understood and agreed that money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 11, and that the disclosing Party may be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach. Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for breach of this Section 11, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to the disclosing Party.

11.6 Survival. Subject to Section 11.4, the obligations in this Section 11 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement for six (6) years after the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that, with respect to each trade secret of a Party, such obligations shall continue as long as such trade secret remains otherwise protectable as a trade secret.

12.2 Inspection. Subject to Supplier’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), on an annual basis, or more frequently with reasonable cause, Supplier agrees to permit Customer to enter and inspect, upon at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice and during normal business hours, the Facility that is used to manufacture, label, package, Sterilize and store the Products to determine whether Supplier’s manufacturing processing, labeling, packaging, Sterilization or storage of the Products conform with the applicable Specifications and otherwise comply with the requirements of this Agreement and applicable law; provided any such inspection does not unreasonably interfere with Supplier’s continued operation of its business and Customer executes (and causes its applicable Representatives to execute pursuant to Section 12.3) a confidentiality agreement as a condition to being provided access to the Facility. The foregoing notice obligation shall be diminished to one (1) business day if the inspection is necessitated by a good faith concern related to Product quality or compliance with applicable laws where such shortened notice period may serve to mitigate immediate harm or damage to Customer or its end-users.

12.3 Access by Customer Personnel. Prior to allowing any of its Representatives to enter into the Facility, Customer shall require such Representatives to enter into confidentiality agreements with Supplier that contains provisions that are consistent with the provisions of Section 11.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, prior to expiration or termination of this Agreement, Supplier has ordered Raw Materials for the supply of replacement Products pursuant to Section 4.4 or has commenced the manufacture of replacement Products pursuant to Section 4.4, Supplier shall complete the supply of such replacement Products and Customer shall not have the right to seek a refund for the rejected Products to be replaced with such replacement Products.

(b) In addition to the foregoing, Customer shall remain obligated to purchase from Supplier all quantities of Products reflected in any Purchase Orders, the Binding Commitment, and, to the extent applicable, the binding portion of the Semi-Binding Commitment of the Rolling Forecast in effect as of the effective date of termination.
