Whereas, Buyer and Seller desire to enter into an exclusive agreement with regard to the purchase and sale of polymer prefillable syringe formats or other mutually agreed upon components or products manufactured by Seller, including as a primary supplier of polypropylene disposable syringe formats after product qualification and acceptance, to meet Buyer’s ongoing syringe requirements (attached hereto) hereinafter called Products; and
Whereas, Buyer and the Seller are entering into this Agreement in good faith and are relying on its terms;
Now, therefore, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
Exclusivity.
Exclusivity Period shall mean the period starting on the date of the initial delivery of Products and ending five (5) years thereafter and for the remaining Term as defined below. During the Exclusivity Period, the Buyer will not directly or indirectly, through any employee, agent, or otherwise, and will not permit any of its agents to solicit, initiate or encourage, any offers or proposals relating to the purchase by Buyer of COC syringes or any products similar to the COC syringes for use by Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Buyer shall have the right to purchase for resale Products. Buyer and Seller agree that during the Exclusivity Period, Buyer shall purchase COC syringes exclusively from Seller and not from any other vendor and Seller will exclusively produce (i) the minimums required under Schedule I for the Buyer and (ii) such quantities requested by the Buyer to meet the Safety Stock Program requirements defined below before addressing any other customers of the Seller. Note: this exclusivity applies only to COC syringes and does not apply to any polypropylene syringes purchased by Buyer. To the extent that Seller produces more Products than the quantities set forth on Schedule 1, Seller shall have the right to sell such excess Products to third parties.
Purchase and Sale of Products.
Purchase a11d Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Term as defined below, Buyer shall purchase from Seller, and Seller shall manufacture and sell to Buyer, Buyer’s requirements of the Products. Schedule 1 contains: (a) a description of the Products to be manufactured and sold hereunder as may be augmented from time to time to include any new, future or additional products designed by mutual consent or in accordance with the Pharma Services Agreement; (b) the purchase price for the Products; and (c) the minimum monthly quantities of the Products to be purchased by Buyer (“Minimum Quantities”).
Unless otherwise provided in Schedule 1, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer shall purchase from Seller, and Seller shall manufacture and sell to Buyer the quantity of Products as identified in Schedule 1.
The Parties shall, from time to time, amend Schedule 1 to reflect any agreed upon increases in minimum quantities or prices; provided that no such revisions will modify this Agreement or be binding on the Parties unless such revisions have been fully approved in a signed writing by authorized Representatives of both Parties. Buyer shall purchase the Products from Seller at the prices set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto (the “Prices”).
Safety Stock Program {“Safety Stock”). Buyer will have the option to purchase up to two months of Minimum Quantities to establish the Safety Stock for the purpose of ensuring the availability of product in the event of unforeseen demand exceeding the Minimum Quantities or an unforeseen production interruption. Buyer may allocate a portion of the Minimum Quantities to the initial establishment of the Safety Stock. If used, Buyer will have the option to replenish the Safety Stock once Minimum Quantities are met. If Buyer should require purchase of additional quantities of Safety Stock, Buyer and Seller shall meet to determine how that can be accomplished through production ramp-up.
Tn the event production is interrupted for an extended period of time, Seller will deliver Product from the Safety Stock. Once the Safety Stock is depleted and production has not yet commenced, Buyer will be free to purchase from other suppliers and the Minimum Quantities will be suspended. Once production is resumed, the suspension will be lifted and the Buyer’s and Seller’s obligations to purchase Minimum Quantities under this contract will be resumed.
on-binding Forecasts of Buyer’s Requirements (“Forecasts’). On the last business day of each month, Buyer will provide Seller with a rolling 6-month forward order Forecast prepared in good faith. Forecasts are for informational purposes only and do not create any binding obligations on behalf of either Party; provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to manufacture and sell to Buyer any quantity of forecasted Products that is in excess of Seller’s Excess Capacity.
For the purposes of this agreement, Excess Capacity will be defined as the maximum production capacity available to the Seller at the time required by this Agreement less the sum of (i) the Minimum Quantities under Schedule I plus orders arising from the Forecast required by the Buyer at such time; (ii) Safety Stock; and (iii) quantities needed to meet the forecasted orders, by production line, of the Buyer’s existing other customers. Sharps will prioritize order deliveries to Nephron for Minimum Quantities, Forecasts and the Safety Stock.
Right to Manufacture and Sell Competitive Products. This Agreement does not limit Seller’s right to manufacture or sell, or preclude Seller from manufacturing or selling, to any Person, or entering into any agreement with any other Person related to the manufacture or sale of, the Products and other Products that are similar to or competitive with the Products.
▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to purchase the minimum quantities outlined in Schedule 1. In the event the Buyer is unable to utilize all of the Minimum Quantities in any month, Buyer will be free to resale Products in coordination with Sharps, so long as such sales are at prices agreed to by Sharps and Nephron and to entities who are not then customers of Sharps (“Resold Products”). Sales of Resold Products shall be included in calculating Nephron’s purchases of Minimum Quantities.
Ordering Procedure.
