3. SUPPLY AND PURCHASE OF PRODUCT

      3.1 Subject to Section 3.2 and Paragraph 2(C) of Schedule 1 to this Agreement, IDB agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop, manufacture, apply for Marketing Authorization of, apply for the release of and deliver to HSI, on or before the delivery dates specified in Schedule 1, the Minimum Quantity of Product as a final, packaged product. HSI hereby commits to purchase the Minimum Quantity of Product provided by IDB to HSI for each Flu Season from and after the Commencement Date during the Term, for the Purchase Price described in Schedule 1, provided delivery and release of the Minimum Quantity occurs on or before [**] of such Flu Season. IDB agrees to notify HSI promptly of any delay in the manufacturing and shipping schedule, the cause of such delay and the anticipated extent of such delay, or in the event IDB is unable to manufacture (and the cause for such inability to

[**] - Confidential or proprietary information redacted.

manufacture) some or all of the Minimum Quantity of Product for any given Flu Season. Recognizing the difficulties involved in vaccine manufacturing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that IDB shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement or to have any liability to HSI, and HSI shall have no right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 3.1 or exercise any other remedies against IDB, if IDB fails to manufacture any or all of the Minimum Quantity of Product for any given Flu Season provided that IDB has used commercially reasonable efforts to develop, manufacture, apply for Marketing Authorization of, apply for the release of and deliver to HSI, on or before the delivery dates specified in Schedule 1, the Minimum Quantity of Product as a final, packaged product. [**]

      3.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, HSI acknowledges and agrees that IDB’s obligation to supply the Minimum Quantity of Product to HSI under this Agreement is subject to, and the Minimum Quantity shall be reduced by, IDB’s contractual annual commitments to provide Product to the Government of Canada and additional contractual commitments to provide Product to the Government of Canada in the event of influenza pandemics in Canada, if any, which commitments shall have priority over IDB’s commitments to HSI hereunder. Such commitments to the Government of Canada are described further on Schedule 3. The Parties agree that IDB shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement or to have any liability to HSI, and HSI shall have no right to terminate this Agreement, in the event IDB is unable to supply HSI with the Minimum Quantity of Product because of such commitments to the Government of Canada. IDB shall keep HSI informed, in the monthly meetings described in Section 6.3, of the quantity (if any) of Product necessary to meet such commitments to the Government of Canada for a given Flu Season and the impact on the Minimum Quantity of Product available to HSI with respect to such Flu Season.

      3.3 Except as otherwise specified in Section 3.4 below, IDB agrees that, with respect to the timing of shipment of a given quantity of Product into the Territory, IDB will allocate such quantity of Product among HSI and IDB’s other distributors in the Territory on a pro rata basis, based on HSI’s and each such other distributor’s respective Minimum Percentage. Thus, IDB will supply HSI with a percentage of each lot of Product that is shipped into the Territory that is approximately equal to HSI’s Minimum Percentage, subject to the overall Minimum Quantity limitations set forth in this Agreement.

      3.4 HSI shall be granted a first right of refusal to acquire a percentage of increased production of Product as provided in this Section 3.4. [**]

      3.5 All Product shall be packaged and labeled for sale and delivered by IDB to HSI in accordance with the regulations of the Regulatory Authority, such packaging indicating that the Product is manufactured by IDB and that the Trademarks are registered trademarks of IDB. Subject to compliance with applicable regulations of the Regulatory Authority, IDB may at any time withdraw the Product from the market or alter the Specifications as it deems necessary or appropriate and/or as may be required by the Regulatory Authority, including without limitation changes in design, production or packaging of Product.

      3.6 IDB shall be responsible for exporting Product from any location in which IDB may manufacture or have manufactured Product and shall obtain any necessary export licenses required for such export. IDB shall be responsible for obtaining any necessary licenses or

approvals of applicable regulatory agencies in the Territory required for the importation of Product into the Territory and for the payment of all duties, fees and charges required for such importation; provided, that, HSI shall be the importer of record of Product into the Territory and HSI shall cooperate with and assist IDB, upon IDB’s written request and at IDB’s expense, in obtaining approvals of regulatory agencies in the Territory required for the importation of Product into the Territory.

      3.7 The Regulatory Authority’s release of each lot of Product is necessary before HSI is allowed to distribute Product. The Parties recognize that the timing for obtaining Regulatory Authority release is uncertain. However, IDB shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary Regulatory Authority releases as soon as reasonably possible each Flu Season and, to the extent reasonably possible, by [**] of each Flu Season after the Commencement Date for [**] of the Minimum Quantity and by [**] of each Flu Season after the Commencement Date for [**] of the Minimum Quantity; provided, that, if and to the extent that Product is not manufactured or available for release, or that some or all Regulatory Authority releases are not obtained, on or before either [**] in a given Flu Season after the Commencement Date, irrespective of the reason therefor, (i) IDB shall not be deemed to have breached any obligations under this Agreement or to be liable to HSI hereunder provided that IDB has used its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary Regulatory Authority releases as soon as reasonably possible each Flu Season, and (ii) notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10 below, if [**] of the Minimum Quantity of Product is not released by [**] in such Flu Season, HSI shall not be obligated to purchase the amount of Product that was not released by such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, HSI may elect to purchase Product released after [**] (provided release is obtained by a date acceptable to HSI), in which case it shall notify IDB in writing of HSI’s decision to acquire Product released after [**] within five (5) business days after [**] , which notice shall include the quantity of Product HSI desires to purchase and the acceptable post- [**] release date for such Product. If IDB reasonably believes such release date is achievable, IDB shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Product release by such date (or by such other date as the Parties may mutually agree in writing). HSI shall return to IDB (at IDB’s expense) any Product not released by [**] that HSI decides not to purchase. HSI shall pay IDB the Purchase Price for all Product released by [**] , as well as all Product released after [**] that HSI elects to purchase, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, with no right to return such Product to IDB (except only as set forth in Sections 5.2 and 5.3) even if HSI is unable to sell such Product.

      3.8 IDB will provide HSI with a copy of IDB’s key clinical development milestones for Product in the Territory (the “Milestones”) promptly after execution of this Agreement, which Milestones shall be subject to modification by IDB from time to time. IDB will provide HSI with written reports regarding progress made with respect to the Milestones (as modified) as of June 30, 2005, December 31, 2005, and quarterly thereafter through December 31, 2006. HSI agrees that the Milestones and progress reports are being provided by IDB for informational purposes only, and that IDB shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement or to have any liability to HSI, and HSI shall have no right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 3.8 or exercise any other remedies against IDB, in the event the development of Product does not proceed in accordance with the Milestones. HSI further agrees that the Milestones and all progress reports shall be considered Confidential Information of IDB under this Agreement.

4. PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT

      4.1 HSI shall pay IDB the Purchase Price for the Minimum Quantity of Product, and all other Product supplied by IDB to HSI under this Agreement, as the Purchase Price is described and calculated in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Schedule 1.

      4.2 IDB may invoice HSI at any time after Product has been delivered to the Shipping Point. Payment in full of the Transfer Price of all Product in each shipment shall be due and paid by HSI to IDB within thirty (30) days after the later of (i) the date of delivery of such Product to the Shipping Point or (ii) the date of release of such Product by the Regulatory Authority. Reconciliation and payment or credit of the final Purchase Price (the Transfer Price as adjusted in accordance with Paragraph 2(B) of Schedule 1) shall be made as provided in Paragraph 2(D) of Schedule 1. Should HSI fail to pay IDB any amount due IDB on or before the due date for payment, HSI shall pay IDB the full amount due plus interest on such unpaid amount from its original due date until the date IDB receives full payment, such interest to be at the rate specified in Paragraph 5 of Schedule 1. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that Product is delivered to HSI and invoiced by IDB, but subsequently is properly rejected by HSI in accordance with Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of this Agreement, then HSI shall pay the full Transfer Price, but IDB shall give appropriate credit to HSI unless the rejected Product is replaced by IDB at IDB’s expense in accordance with Section 5.3.

      4.3 During the term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, HSI and its Affiliates shall keep accurate books and records with respect to the sale and distribution of Product in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) consistently applied and in sufficient detail to enable IDB to determine the correctness of all payments made to IDB hereunder. Upon written request by IDB, HSI shall permit an independent certified public account or IDB in-house auditor or accountant (“Accountant”) (to be determined and selected by IDB and reasonably acceptable to HSI), to inspect HSI’s books, records and facilities, and copy such books and records, to the extent such Accountant reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the sole purposes of verifying the completeness and accuracy of the reports delivered and payments made under this Agreement and ascertaining HSI’s compliance with its obligations under this Agreement. The Accountant’s report based on such inspection shall be limited to a detailed report on those subjects. [**] HSI will pay IDB the amount of any such deficiency within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice therefor, and shall pay interest at the rate specified in Paragraph 5 of Schedule 1 for any past due amounts.

5. DELIVERY OF PRODUCT

      5.1 Subject to HSI’s satisfaction of its importation obligations under Section 3.6, IDB agrees to deliver all Product ordered by HSI hereunder FOB Shipping Point.

      5.2 All Product is shipped on a non-returnable basis except only as set forth in Sections 3.7 and 5.3 and except if there is a Product recall. HSI shall pay IDB the Purchase Price for all Product delivered to HSI and released by the Regulatory Authority even if HSI is unable

to sell such Product, subject only to HSI’s right to reject Product as provided below. Not later than [**] days after its receipt of each shipment of Product at the Shipping Point, and sooner if reasonably possible, HSI shall notify IDB as provided in Section 5.3 of any basis for rejecting any such Product (the only bases for rejection being as specified in Section 5.3). If HSI fails to give such notice to IDB within such period, then such Product shall be deemed to be finally accepted by HSI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if HSI thereafter discovers a latent defect which could not readily be identified upon a reasonable inspection of Product at the time of delivery to the Shipping Point, and such latent defect constitutes a Defective Product (as defined in Section 11.4 below), HSI shall inform IDB of such Defective Product within five (5) business days of such discovery, and the provisions of Section 5.3 shall apply.

      5.3 To reject Product, HSI shall, within the rejection period specified in Section 5.2, notify IDB of its rejection in writing, describing in detail the basis for such rejection (which must be either, and shall be limited to, (i) a Defective Product as defined in Section 11.4 below, or (ii) physical damage to Product in the course of shipment to HSI) and the amount of Product affected, and request a return authorization (“RA”) number. IDB shall provide the RA number to HSI within [**] days after receipt of the request. Within [**] days after HSI’s receipt of the RA number, HSI shall return to IDB the rejected Product, freight prepaid, with the RA number displayed on the outside of the carton. IDB reserves the right to refuse to accept any rejected Product that does not bear an RA number on the outside of the carton. As promptly as possible, and within [**] days after receipt of properly rejected Product if reasonably possible, IDB shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace the Product, at its expense, as provided in Section 5.4. IDB shall pay the shipping charges back to HSI for properly rejected Product; otherwise, HSI shall be responsible for the shipping charges.

      5.4 In the event HSI rejects any shipment of Product in accordance with Sections 5.2 and 5.3 or in the event of failure to obtain Product releases from the Regulatory Authority by [**] of a given Flu Season, then IDB shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, but shall not guarantee to provide, replacement Product, subject in all respects to IDB’s commitments to the Government of Canada as provided in Section 3.2. In the event IDB does not supply replacement Product to HSI within a reasonable period (at least [**] days) and HSI notifies IDB in writing that it elects not to wait beyond such period for replacement Product, then IDB shall credit HSI for the amount, if any, previously paid by HSI for such rejected or unreleased Product, but IDB shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement or to have any liability to HSI because it failed to supply replacement Product; provided, however, that if HSI has not yet paid for such rejected or unreleased Product and IDB fails to supply replacement Product, HSI shall have no obligation to pay for such rejected or unreleased Product. If IDB will not be able to supply replacement Product until after [**] of a given Flu Season, then HSI may elect, at its option, to accept such replacement Product after such date or to receive a credit for the amount, if any, previously paid by HSI for the rejected or unreleased Product, provided that HSI notifies IDB in writing of its election within five (5) business days after [**] . If HSI wrongfully rejects Product or wrongfully fails to take delivery of any shipment of Product, then IDB shall be entitled to invoice HSI for the Transfer Price and then the Purchase Price of such Product as set forth in Schedule 1, together with the cost of disposing of such Product, if applicable, and HSI shall pay such invoiced amount within thirty (30) days of the invoice date.

[**] - Confidential or proprietary information redacted.

      5.5 Risk of loss of or damage to Product supplied by IDB to HSI shall pass to HSI at the time Product is delivered to the Shipping Point. If HSI properly rejects Product in accordance with Sections 5.2 and 5.3, then risk of loss of or damage to Product will pass back to IDB upon delivery by HSI to the first return carrier. Title to Product shall pass to HSI at the time Product is delivered to the Shipping Point. If any shipment of Product is delivered to the Shipping Point before such Product is released by the Regulatory Authority, HSI shall quarantine such Product, at its sole cost, until such Product is released. HSI shall have title to, and shall bear all responsibility and liability with respect to, all Product after it is delivered to the Shipping Point, including all Product in quarantine.

6. MARKETING OF PRODUCT

      6.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, HSI hereby agrees that [**]. Without limiting HSI’s obligations under this Agreement, HSI may promote, sell and distribute Third-Party Vaccine Products provided that such promotion, sale and distribution are consistent with this Section 6.1 and HSI’s other obligations under this Agreement. [**]

      6.2 Without limiting its other obligations under this Agreement, HSI shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to actively promote the use and sale of Product and the use of the Fluviral^™ brand name (or other Trademark as may be indicated by IDB) throughout the Territory. In this context, “commercially reasonable efforts” means at least the quality and quantity of efforts that HSI does or would use to promote the use and sale, and expand the sale, of any influenza vaccine originated or sold by HSI that is distributed in substantially the same quantities as the quantities of Product contemplated in this Agreement (with at least the same level of advertising, promotion and sales support). IDB agrees to provide HSI with such technical and clinical data as HSI may reasonably require in order to promote, distribute and sell Product in the Territory, subject to the provisions of Section 9.

      6.3 HSI and IDB shall convene by telephone, videoconference or in person, on a quarterly basis—and more frequently if reasonably requested by either Party— until the initial Marketing Authorization for Product is received and then monthly thereafter—and more frequently if reasonably requested by either Party—to discuss (as may be relevant at the time) regulatory developments affecting Product, HSI’s marketing plan, strategy and marketing and sales efforts proposed for Product for a given Flu Season, IDB’s Product supply issues, if any, IDB’s Product commitments to the Government of Canada for a given Flu Season, as described in Section 3.2, and such other relevant issues as either Party may propose. [**] Each Party shall consider in good faith the views expressed by the other Party during such meetings.

      6.4 HSI shall, and shall require its Affiliates and Other Distributors to, conduct all promotion, marketing, distribution and sale of Product, including, without limitation, handling, inventory and storage of Product, in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and all applicable rules and requirements of IDB, including, without limitation, cold chain requirements for Product as set forth in the package insert for Product each Flu Season, as the same may be updated by IDB from time to time, and as otherwise may be required or reasonably prudent. When promoting, marketing and selling Product, HSI shall, and shall require its Affiliates and Other Distributors to: (i) provide IDB copies of all labels, promotion and marketing materials related to Product promptly upon IDB’s request; (ii) make no false or misleading statements to

customers or others regarding IDB or Product, or make any representations, warranties or guarantees with respect to Product other than those printed on the Product packaging or labeling expressly included in Product information, in each case as provided or approved by IDB in writing in advance and as permitted by law; (iii) comply with the procedures and requirements for adverse reaction reporting (“Adverse Reaction Reporting”), which Adverse Reaction Reporting shall be as required by applicable law or regulation and shall be mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties as promptly as practicable following receipt of appropriate regulatory approval and Marketing Authorization for Product in the Territory (and prior to any distribution of Product by HSI pursuant to this Agreement). (Once finalized, the Adverse Reaction Reporting will be attached hereto as Schedule 4); (iv) in the event of a Product recall, perform such recall in accordance with Section 11.4 and the applicable Product recall procedure (“Product Recall Procedure”), subject to IDB’s prior written agreement to the recall and HSI’s ongoing consultation with IDB regarding the recall. (The Product Recall Procedure will be mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties as promptly as practicable following receipt of appropriate regulatory approval and Marketing Authorization for Product in the Territory (and prior to any distribution of Product by HSI pursuant to this Agreement). (Once finalized, the Product Recall Procedure will be attached hereto as Schedule 5); and (v) communicate with the Regulatory Authority concerning Product only with IDB’s prior written consent (and, if requested by IDB, IDB’s participation in such communication). If the Regulatory Authority requests information from HSI regarding Product, HSI shall keep IDB fully informed of all such communications, provide IDB with copies of all such written communications, consult with IDB regarding responses thereto, and allow IDB, at its request, to control or to participate in formulating responses thereto (all in compliance with applicable laws and regulations).

7. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

      7.1 The Parties acknowledge that, as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, the Product has not received Marketing Authorization from the Regulatory Authority. IDB shall, at its expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to apply for, obtain and maintain in force the Marketing Authorization(s) required to permit the supply, distribution and resale of Product in the Territory in accordance with this Agreement. HSI shall give such reasonable assistance as IDB may require from time to time in pursuing such applications for the Marketing Authorization. IDB shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Marketing Authorization for Product in the Territory as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event on or before April 1, 2008 for the 2008/2009 Flu Season and by [**] in subsequent Flu Seasons. For the avoidance of doubt, IDB gives no firm undertakings in relation to the grant of the Marketing Authorization by any date, or at all, and, except for HSI’s right to terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 15.3.1, HSI shall have no claim against IDB arising out of any failure to obtain the grant or renewal of the Marketing Authorization.

      7.2 If IDB receives the initial Marketing Authorization on or before [**], 2005, the Commencement Date shall be [**], 2005. If IDB receives the initial Marketing Authorization after [**], 2005, then HSI shall have no obligation to acquire Product for the 2005/2006 Flu Season provided, that, HSI may, by giving written notice to IDB within thirty (30) days after HSI receives written notice that such initial Marketing Authorization has been received, elect to acquire Product for the 2005/2006 Flu Season in which case the Commencement Date shall be the date in 2005 as mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties.

agreed upon such a 2005 Commencement Date, if IDB receives the initial Marketing Authorization after [**], 2005 but on or before [**], 2006, the Commencement Date shall be [**], 2006. If IDB receives the initial Marketing Authorization after [**], 2006, then HSI shall have no obligation to acquire Product for the 2006/2007 Flu Season provided, that, HSI may, by giving written notice to IDB within thirty (30) days after HSI receives written notice that such initial Marketing Authorization has been received, elect to acquire Product for the 2006/2007 Flu Season in which case the Commencement Date shall be the date in 2006 as mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties.

      7.3 IDB shall have the right (without liability to HSI) to terminate its obligations to supply Product to HSI for any Flu Season upon notice to HSI if, as a result of any action taken by a Regulatory Authority or any other governmental authority, it becomes impossible or commercially impracticable for IDB to supply substantially all of the Minimum Quantity of Product for that Flu Season in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

8. TRADEMARKS AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

      8.1 All IDB Trademarks and derivatives thereof relating to Product, and all technology and other Intellectual Property relating to Product and the goodwill associated therewith, are the sole and exclusive property of IDB and/or its Affiliates. IDB hereby grants HSI permission to use the Trademarks in the Territory for the limited purpose of HSI performing its rights and obligations under this Agreement during the Term. Products shall be promoted, sold and distributed only under the Trademarks. HSI shall ensure that each use of and reference to any of the Trademarks (by HSI, its Affiliates or other Distributors) is accompanied by a statement that it is a registered trademark of IDB. IDB may, in its sole discretion after consultation with HSI, modify or discontinue the use of any Trademark and/or use one or more additional or substitute marks or names, and HSI and its Affiliates and Other Distributors shall be obligated to do the same in connection with marketing and selling Product. All representations of IDB’s Trademarks shall be exact copies of those used by IDB or, if not, shall first be submitted to IDB for approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon written request, HSI shall give IDB copies of examples of such usage in order to assess compliance with this Section.

      8.2 Neither HSI, its Affiliates, nor Other Distributors shall: (i) use the Trademarks in any way that might prejudice their distinctiveness or validity or the goodwill of IDB therein; (ii) use any Trademark in connection with the sale of any other product, or use any other trademark other than the Trademarks, in connection with Product; (iii) modify Product or its labeling or packaging or alter, obscure, or remove the Trademarks, indication of the source of origin, other means of identification or other markings used on or in relation to Product; or (iv) at any time during or after the term of this Agreement challenge or assist others to challenge the Trademarks or the registration thereof, or use or make any application for registration in the Territory of any trademarks or tradenames so resembling any trademark or tradename of IDB (including, without limitation, any Trademark) as to be likely to cause confusion or deception.

      8.3 In the event HSI becomes aware of any infringement of, or threatened or suspected infringement of, or challenge to any Trademark or other Intellectual Property of IDB, HSI shall notify IDB immediately. IDB shall investigate any alleged violation and may take legal action as it deems appropriate to resolve the issue and to prevent others from infringing on its Intellectual Property rights within the Territory. At IDB’s reasonable request, and at IDB’s expense, HSI shall cooperate with and assist IDB in connection with any such infringement.

      8.4 Except only for the limited rights as expressly permitted hereunder, and then only as necessary for the proper performance of HSI’s obligations hereunder, HSI hereby acknowledges that it shall acquire no rights, express or implied, in respect of any of IDB’s Intellectual Property, including the tradenames or trademarks of IDB (including but not limited to the Trademarks) or of the goodwill associated therewith and that all such rights and goodwill are, and shall remain, vested in IDB.

      8.5 HSI will not do, nor will HSI allow or authorize its Affiliates, Other Distributors or anyone else to do, any act which would or might invalidate or be inconsistent with the Intellectual Property of IDB (including the Trademarks), and HSI shall not omit or allow or authorize anyone to omit to do any act which, by its omission, would have that effect.

9. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; PUBLICITY

      9.1 Both Parties recognize and acknowledge that each will have access to Confidential Information of the other in connection with this Agreement. Other than as necessary to perform their obligations under this Agreement, and except as otherwise permitted in this Section 9, both Parties shall, during and after the Term keep all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party confidential and not disclose any such Confidential Information to any Third Party without the express written consent of the Disclosing Party; and not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose other than the performance of the Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement.

      9.2 The Parties agree that the Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party hereunder shall not be disclosed to any employee, officer, or director of the Receiving Party or to any of its Affiliates, except to those employees, officers, directors and Affiliates whose responsibilities require such disclosure for purposes of performing the Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement; provided that such employees, officers, directors and Affiliates have entered into confidentiality agreements with provisions substantially similar to those set forth in this Section 9.

      9.3 Confidential Information may be disclosed by a Receiving Party to the Regulatory Authority or other governmental authority only to the extent necessary for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement or as may be required by applicable law or regulation.

      9.4 Each Party agrees to use the same degree of care concerning the other Party’s Confidential Information as it uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary technical information (but no less than reasonable care) to prevent the unauthorized disclosure to any third party of the Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party hereunder. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Parties agree that they shall acquire no rights with respect to Confidential Information of the other Party received hereunder.

      9.5 Confidential Information may be disclosed by a Receiving Party to a Third Party to the extent that: (i) it is at the Effective Date, or thereafter becomes, public knowledge through no act, omission or breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party, its Affiliates or their respective employees, officers or directors (provided that in doing so such Receiving Party shall not disclose any Confidential Information which is not public knowledge); or (ii) it can be reasonably shown by the Receiving Party, by written records in the Receiving Party’s possession prior to disclosure, to have been known to the Receiving Party prior to disclosure by the Disclosing Party; or (iii) such Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by law, governmental or regulatory request or legal process; or (iv) to the extent such Confidential Information is disclosed in connection with any legal or other dispute resolution proceedings between the Parties hereto.

      9.6 The Receiving Party shall, within thirty (30) days following receipt of a request by the Disclosing Party or termination or expiration of this Agreement, return and deliver (or if so requested destroy and provide a certificate of destruction) to the Disclosing Party all copies of Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in the Receiving Party’s possession or under its control; provided that each Party may retain one copy of such information solely for (i) archival

purposes, (ii) determination and reconciliation of the Parties’ respective rights and obligations following such termination or expiration, or (iii) use in a dispute resolution procedure that may arise between the Parties.

      9.7 Neither Party shall issue press releases or make public announcements relating to this Agreement without the other Party’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall impair either Party’s compliance with any requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the national securities exchange or other stock market on which such Party’s securities are traded. In connection with any filing by either Party of a copy of this Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or the national securities exchange or other stock market on which such Party’s securities are traded), the filing Party shall endeavor to obtain confidential treatment of economic and trade secret information. Reasonably in advance of filing, the filing Party shall provide to the other Party a copy of the proposed filing and the Parties shall work cooperatively in good faith, taking into consideration the other Party’s suggestions, regarding the information for which the filing Party will seek to obtain confidential treatment.

10. FORCE MAJEURE

      10.1 Neither Party shall be under any liability to the other for failure or delay in the performance of any obligation hereunder or part thereof (other than obligations to pay money) to the extent and for the period that such performance is prevented by reason of Force Majeure (as defined below), provided that the Party claiming the benefit of this Section promptly begins, and thereafter diligently pursues, the cure of such Force Majeure and gives written notice of the Force Majeure to the other within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of the event of Force Majeure. For purposes of this Agreement, “Force Majeure” shall mean any cause preventing or obstructing the performance of this Agreement arising from or attributable to acts, events or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of, and not caused by the negligence of, the Party affected, including but not limited to epidemic of disease, Act of God, shortage of materials, war, acts of terrorism, strikes or labor disputes, accidents, fire, breakdown of machinery, acts of government or other legal authority (including any Regulatory Authority), riot or civil commotion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event IDB fails to deliver to the Shipping Point the Minimum Quantity, as such Minimum Quantity may be adjusted as provided in this Agreement, for any given Flu Season due to an event of Force Majeure, HSI shall have the option to extend the Term for one additional Flu Season for each such Flu Season that the Minimum Quantity was not delivered, in which case, HSI shall notify IDB in writing of HSI’s election to extend the Term within five (5) business days after the last day of such Flu Season for which the Minimum Quantity was not delivered.

      10.2 If the performance of this Agreement shall be prevented for a period exceeding three (3) months from the date of notice given pursuant to Section 10.1 due to an event of Force Majeure, the Party receiving notice of an event of Force Majeure shall be entitled to terminate all obligations regarding the supply of Product in the affected Flu Season forthwith by giving written notice to the other. As regards the supply of Product for all other Flu Seasons during the Term, subject to Sections 15.3 and 15.4, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

      12.1 IDB shall indemnify, defend and hold HSI and its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (“HSI Indemnitees”), harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, causes of action, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred thereby or caused thereto arising out of third-party claims (i.e., claims by parties other than an HSI Indemnitee) relating to Product to the extent that such claims arise out of or result from (i) any defect in Product at the time it was delivered to the Shipping Point, where such defect constitutes a breach of IDB’s warranty under Section 11.1.1; (ii) the failure of IDB to provide disclosure of contraindications, adverse reactions or other information in Product packaging or labeling as required under applicable laws or regulations; (iii) any material breach of this Agreement by IDB (including, without limitation, material breach of its warranties hereunder); (iv) the labeling or packaging of Product by or on behalf of IDB; (v) the possession, distribution, sale and/or use of Product, including claims of bodily injury, death, property damage or similar third-party claims; or (vi) the negligence or willful misconduct of IDB; provided, that, IDB shall have no duty to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any HSI Indemnitee to the extent HSI, its Affiliates or Other Distributors caused or contributed to losses or claims (including claims of bodily injury, death, property damage or similar third-party claims), or to the extent HSI is obligated to indemnify IDB under Section 12.2; and provided, further, that, without diminishing IDB’s obligations under this Section 12.1, nothing in this Section 12.1 shall create or imply liability for IDB under other sections of this Agreement where such liability is expressly disclaimed.

      12.2 HSI shall indemnify, defend and hold IDB and its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (“IDB Indemnitees”), harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, causes of action, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred thereby or caused thereto, arising out of third-party claims (i.e., claims by someone other than an IDB Indemnitee and including claims of bodily injury, death, property damage or similar third-party claims) relating to Product to the extent that such claims arise out of or result from (i) any material breach of this Agreement by HSI (including, without limitation, material breach of its warranties hereunder), (ii) any acts or omissions by or on behalf of HSI, its Affiliates or Other Distributors or their respective employees, agents or representatives, which are beyond the scope of HSI’s authorization granted herein or are not in compliance with the obligations of HSI under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any use, sale or other disposition of Product or Trademarks in a manner recommended, proposed or represented by HSI which is contrary to or not in accordance with IDB’s written recommendations, representations or authorization), or (iii) the negligence or willful misconduct of HSI; provided that HSI shall have no duty to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any IDB Indemnitee to the extent IDB is obligated to indemnify HSI under Section 12.1.

[**] - Confidential or proprietary information redacted.

Indemnified Party’s Indemnitees promptly after learning of such claim; (ii) the Indemnifying Party, at its sole cost, shall have the opportunity to assume the direction and control the defense of such claim or proceeding with counsel of its choosing; (iii) the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with and provide reasonable assistance to the Indemnifying Party and its representatives and insurers in connection with such claim and (at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) the mitigation of losses, costs, expenses and liabilities in connection therewith; and (iv) neither the Indemnified Party nor its Indemnitee(s) shall compromise, settle or take any other material steps relating to such claim without the prior written approval of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The failure of the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party in writing promptly after learning of any such claim or proceeding shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement if and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate that such late notice is prejudicial to the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend such action.

13. INSURANCE OBLIGATIONS OF IDB AND HSI

14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

      EXCEPT IN CONNECTION WITH A PARTY’S WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS AND LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT (OR ANY DUTY OF COMMON LAW, AND WHETHER OR NOT OCCASIONED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF A PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES), REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; PROVIDED THAT NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 14 IS INTENDED TO, OR DOES, LIMIT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF EITHER PARTY UNDER SECTION 12; PROVIDED FURTHER THAT, FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION IS INTENDED TO, OR DOES, LIMIT HSI’S OBLIGATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE THE MINIMUM QUANTITY OF PRODUCT FROM IDB AND PAY IDB THE PURCHASE PRICE THEREFOR DURING THE TERM OF
