       (2)   In the event that such Third Party does not achieve an AIG IgG specific Yield of at least [**] percent ([**]%) greater than Talecris' AIG IgG specific Yield, Emergent may not sell any pharmaceutical product processed on its behalf that contains AIG as an active ingredient from any Third Party in accordance with the terms of the Exclusivity Agreement, and the terms and conditions of the Exclusivity Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 


 
  (B)   If either Party disagrees with the determination of the other Party whether or not the IgG Yield is less than the Pre-Commercial Target Yield, such Party shall Notify the other Party of such disagreement and the Parties shall engage a mutually selected independent laboratory to make such determination.
  (d)   Commercial Target Yield.
 
      If the Parties mutually determine that the IgG Yields are equal to or greater than the Pre-Commercial Target Yield for the Evaluation Lot (if applicable) and each of the [**] Validation Lots, the "Commercial Target Yield" for the Commercial Term shall be computed and determined as follows:
 
      With respect to Nonspecific IgG:
  (i)   the average final quantity of Nonspecific IgG exhibited after Processing all of the Validation Lots ordered pursuant to Section 4.01(b), divided by
 
  (ii)   the average initial quantity of Nonspecific IgG from the AIG Source Plasma exhibited prior to Processing all of the Validation Lots ordered pursuant to Section 4.01(b); and
 
  (iii)   the quotient of which is multiplied by [**] percent ([**]%).
      With respect to AIG specific IgG:
  (i)   the average final quantity of AIG specific IgG exhibited after Processing all of the Validation Lots ordered pursuant to Section 4.01(b), divided by
 
  (ii)   the average initial quantity of AIG specific IgG from the AIG Source Plasma exhibited prior to Processing all of the Validation Lots ordered pursuant to Section 4.01(b); and
 
  (iii)   the quotient of which is multiplied by [**] percent ([**]%).
      Upon the completion of the Pre-Commercial Term and at the completion of each twelve (12) month period during the Commercial Term, the Parties shall recompute the Commercial Target Yield to include the additional Processed Lots which were not included in the original computation set forth above. Such computation shall be based on Yield results provided by each respective Party to the other at the end of each period. In the event that the recomputed Commercial Target Yield more closely resembles the historical average yields experienced by Talecris in processing Gamunex, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith an adjustment to the Commercial Target Yield to reflect the processing information provided by the additional Lots.
 
  (e)   Macrobench-Scale Purification. Talecris shall Process a non-cGMP macrobench-scale purification of [**] liters (or such other amount as the Parties may mutually

 


 
      agree) of the Initial AIG Source Plasma Processed by Talecris hereunder, which may be used by Emergent for proof-of-concept studies, validation of the potency release assay for Finished Product, development activities, pre-clinical studies, and otherwise in support of Emergent's development efforts in connection with Finished Product. For purposes of clarity, such macrobench-scale purification process shall be sterile and endotoxin-free and otherwise be the same as the purification process used in the Process, except that Talecris shall not be required to conduct such purification under cGMP conditions.
  (f)   Additional Lots of Pre-Commercial Product. During the Pre-Commercial Term, Emergent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to submit to Talecris Orders for additional Lots of Pre-Commercial Product in excess of those Ordered pursuant to Sections 4.01(a) through 4.01(c), including without limitation Validation Lots. Talecris shall conduct the Processing of any Lots of Pre-Commercial Product ordered by Emergent pursuant to Sections 4.01(a) through 4.01(c) at such times as the Parties may mutually agree; provided, however, that Talecris shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to schedule the Processing of such Lots on dates which are as close as practicable to the dates requested by Emergent in the Order(s) for such Lots. Emergent shall pay the Processing Fee for any additional Lots of Pre-Commercial Product ordered pursuant to this Section 4.01(f).
 
  (g)   Non-Binding Forecast for Pre-Commercial Product. As soon as practicable following the Effective Date of this Agreement and from time to time thereafter during the Pre-Commercial Term, Emergent shall submit to Talecris a non-binding, good faith forecast that sets forth the total quantity of Pre-Commercial Product which Emergent expects to order from Talecris within the time period set forth in such forecast. Emergent shall update such forecast from time to time but not less frequently than annually, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, based on its reasonable expectations and/or need for Pre-Commercial Product.
 
  (h)   Orders for Pre-Commercial Product. Each Order for Pre-Commercial Product shall specify the Pre-Commercial Product ordered, the quantities of the Pre-Commercial Product ordered, the requested manner and address of delivery, and the requested delivery date, which shall be no earlier than [**] days from the date of the Order (unless otherwise agreed to by Talecris in writing), all of which shall be subject to Article 6. Emergent shall submit its initial Order for Pre-Commercial Product on the Effective Date and may submit additional Orders for Pre-Commercial Product at any time thereafter during the Pre-Commercial Term.
4.02   Commercial Product.
  (a)   Commercial Volume Commitment. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties, the minimum annual volume commitment by Emergent ("Commercial Volume Commitment") for each Contract Year shall be (a) [**] liters of AIG Source Plasma per annum to be Processed into Finished Product during the

 


 
      Commercial Term, and (b) [**] liters of AIG Source Plasma per annum to be Processed into Finished Product during any Extension Period. The Commercial Volume Commitment shall be reduced, upon the occurrence of a Supply Failure, on a prorated basis with respect to each month in which Emergent is able to use an alternative supplier pursuant to Section 4.04(a) below and Emergent has elected to use such an alternative supplier.
  (b)   Process Initiation. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.02 above, Talecris shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to initiate the Processing of the Commercial Product on the date which is as close as practicable to the initial fill date set forth in the initial Rolling Forecast submitted by Emergent under Section 4.02(c) below, but in no event later than twelve (12) months from the date of Emergent's Notice of its intent to initiate the Commercial Term as set forth in Section 10.01(b).
 
  (c)   Rolling Forecast for Commercial Product. No later than thirty (30) days following the commencement of the Commercial Term, Emergent shall submit to Talecris an initial twelve (12) month rolling forecast ("Rolling Forecast") that sets forth the total quantity of Finished Product which Emergent expects to order from Talecris within such twelve (12) month period ("Annual Forecast Amount"), with a breakdown of the total quantity of Finished Product by month and the delivery schedule for such Finished Product. Without Talecris' prior written approval, the initial Annual Forecast Amount for the first Contract Year shall not exceed [**] liters of Finished Product, and the Annual Forecast Amount for any other given Contract Year shall not exceed [**] liters. The initial Annual Forecast Amount shall include an initial delivery date for Finished Product which is not earlier than [**] days from Emergent's submission of the initial Rolling Forecast to Talecris. Following Emergent's submission of the initial Rolling Forecast, Emergent shall submit to Talecris on a monthly basis on or before the first Business Day of each month, an updated Rolling Forecast, provided that (i) the monthly forecast amount shall not exceed [**] Lots for any given month without Talecris' prior written approval, and (ii) the Annual Forecast Amount shall be updated on an annual basis only.
 
  (d)   Firm Commitments for Commercial Product. The Rolling Forecast shall be binding on Emergent for the first [**] months (i.e., months [**]) (each, a "Firm Commitment"), each of which Firm Commitment shall be the subject of an Order delivered in accordance with Section 4.02(e).
 
  (e)   Orders for Commercial Product. Emergent shall, together with its monthly Rolling Forecast, deliver to Talecris an Order for each new Firm Commitment that was only a forecasted amount in the previous month's Rolling Forecast. Each Order shall specify the Commercial Product ordered, the quantities of the Commercial Product ordered, the requested manner and address of delivery, and the requested delivery date, which shall be no earlier than [**] days from the date of the Order (unless otherwise agreed to by Talecris), all of which shall be subject

 


 
      to Article 6. Emergent may submit its initial Order for Commercial Product at any time on or after the commencement of the Commercial Term.
  (f)   Amending Forecasts for Commercial Product. Any Rolling Forecast that is not a Firm Commitment is to be considered an estimated forecast to be used for planning purposes, shall not be construed as a Firm Commitment by Emergent to Talecris, and may be increased or reduced by Emergent from time to time. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, in the event of a Supply Failure as set forth in Section 4.04(a) below, the Rolling Forecast for each month during which the Supply Failure persists shall not be considered a Firm Commitment until such time that Talecris is capable of resuming the Processing of Finished Products under this Agreement.
 
  (g)   Fulfillment of Orders for Commercial Product. Talecris shall diligently fulfill Emergent's Orders in accordance with their terms and the terms of this Agreement, provided that Talecris shall not be obligated to fulfill any Orders during any Contract Year to the extent that the quantity of Commercial Product covered by such Orders exceeds in the aggregate [**] percent ([**]%) of the Annual Forecast Amount for such Contract Year. Talecris shall promptly Notify Emergent if it becomes aware or believes that it will not be able to fulfill a particular Order that was included in a Firm Commitment on time, in full or at all, which Notice shall include an explanation in reasonable detail of the reason for Talecris' failure to comply with a particular Order and its proposed course of action for remedying such failure.
4.03   Bona Fide Forecasts. Emergent shall make its Rolling Forecasts under Section 4.02(c) acting reasonably, in good faith, based on its reasonable expectations for Sales of the Finished Product (having due regard to any sales over the previous twelve (12) months). Emergent shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to give accurate Rolling Forecasts.
 
4.04   Alternative Supplier. Emergent shall be required to obtain all of its Finished Product requirements from Talecris, provided, however, that:
  (a)   Supply Failure. In the event of a Supply Failure, Emergent shall have the right to purchase from one or more alternative suppliers its Finished Product requirements, to the extent necessary to replace Finished Product not provided by Talecris due to the Supply Failure, until Talecris reasonably demonstrates that Talecris is able to resume Processing of Finished Product, provided that Emergent shall [**] Finished Product [**] of the Supply Failure. In any case, Emergent shall [**] to the Supply Failure. Emergent shall purchase all other Finished Product requirements from Talecris as soon as Emergent has fulfilled all obligations or commitments, if any, undertaken by Emergent in connection with Emergent's arrangement(s) with the alternative supplier(s).

 


 
  (b)   Redundant Supply. Emergent shall have the right to purchase from one or more alternative suppliers such portion of its Finished Product requirements as Emergent may reasonably establish, if, and for so long as, any Regulatory Authority, governmental agency or Applicable Law (relevant to the Major Markets) requires Emergent to obtain and/or maintain a redundant supply of Finished Product from one or more alternative suppliers. In such event, to the extent not otherwise prohibited by any Regulatory Authority, governmental agency or Applicable Law (in the Major Markets), Emergent shall give priority to selling Finished Product provided by Talecris and Emergent shall not sell products supplied by a Third Party until the inventory of Finished Product Processed by Talecris has been exhausted. Emergent shall notify the appropriate Regulatory Authority or governmental agency in the United States that Talecris shall act as Emergent's sole commercial supplier with respect to Finished Product pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Emergent shall promptly Notify Talecris in the event that any Regulatory Authority, governmental agency or Applicable Law (relevant to the Major Markets) requires Emergent to obtain and/or maintain a redundant supply of Finished Product from one or more alternative suppliers. Emergent shall not advocate to any Regulatory Authority that a redundant supply from alternate suppliers should be required with respect to the Finished Product.
ARTICLE 5 ó PROCESS CHANGES; QUALITY ASSURANCE; PRODUCT
SPECIFICATIONS; PROCESSING
5.01   Process Changes.
  (a)   Prior Approval of Emergent Required. Talecris shall have the right to make any change to the manufacturing process for Gamunex or other Facility Goods, or to the Facilities, as such change applies to Gamunex or other Facility Goods, provided, however, that Talecris shall not make any change to the Process or any Facility (other than routine maintenance, reconditioning and/or replacement of the equipment) that would reasonably be expected to have a material negative impact on the AIG or the Finished Product or require submissions to or approvals from any Regulatory Authority specific to the Finished Product, except by prior written approval of Emergent for such change, which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, and, in any event, which costs shall be borne by Talecris.
 
  (b)   Process Changes Based on cGMP. Talecris shall make such changes to the Process or any Facility as may be required pursuant to cGMP, provided that (i) changes to the Process or any Facility which affect the Finished Product, but do not affect Gamunex or another Facility Good, shall be at Emergent's cost, and (ii) the cost of any changes to the Process or any Facility which affect both the Finished Product and Gamunex or another Facility Good shall be shared between the Parties, taking into consideration various factors, including without limitation, improvements in Yields for Finished Product, historical volumes, and other measures mutually agreed upon by the Parties. If the Parties are not able to reach

 


 
      consensus on the allocation of such costs, such allocation shall be determined in accordance with the dispute resolution mechanism set forth in Article 14.
  (c)   Changes Made at the Request of Emergent. From time to time, Emergent may request that Talecris make certain changes (other than those required pursuant to Section 5.01(b) above) to the Process; provided, however, that (i) Emergent shall seek to minimize such changes, (ii) Talecris shall not be required to make any changes which may have a negative impact on any Facility Good, on Talecris' ability to manufacture such Facility Good at the Facilities, or on Talecris' business, including without limitation the production of Gamunex, or which require submissions to or approvals from any Regulatory Authority specific to Gamunex or any other Facility Goods, (iii) Emergent and Talecris shall enter into good faith negotiations with each other regarding the assessment of the implications and costs arising from a change to the Process, and (iv) after the Parties have agreed upon the implications and costs related to a change to the Process, Talecris may, at its sole discretion, implement such change. Costs incurred by Talecris in connection with such changes shall be fully reimbursed by Emergent.
5.02   Quality Assurance.
  (a)   Testing by Talecris. Talecris shall perform quality testing using assays proposed by Emergent and acceptable to Talecris (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), in order to assure that the Finished Product complies with the Product Specifications and cGMP, and shall retain samples of the Finished Product produced and records of the tests made on each such batch of Finished Product. In addition, no Finished Product shall be delivered until such Finished Product has been released in accordance with the tests, inspections and controls required under the Product Specifications and cGMP, and such other tests as the Parties may mutually agree upon; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve Talecris of its obligations under Section 4.02(g). Talecris shall maintain records with respect to the quality testing and shall make such records available to Emergent during normal business hours, upon prior written request. Without limiting Talecris' obligations under Sections 4.01 and 4.02, Talecris shall run, complete and record such number of qualification batches of the Finished Product as are required by Regulatory Authorities in the Major Markets pursuant to the BLA submission and ordered by Emergent pursuant to Sections 4.01(a)-(b), at Emergent's expense.
 
  (b)   Notice of Non-Conforming Products. Talecris shall promptly Notify Emergent of any Non-Conforming Product of which it becomes aware, specifying the Finished Product's release testing and Batch Production Record for the completed Lot.
 
  (c)   Testing by Emergent. At Emergent's election, the Finished Product may be subjected to testing by Emergent at Emergent's facilities in order to verify conformance of the Finished Product with the Product Specifications, Emergent Specifications and Applicable Law in the Major Markets.

      procedures shall be reviewed by Talecris in advance of their implementation. Emergent shall maintain records with respect to the scope and nature of any such testing and shall disclose such records to Talecris in a timely fashion.
  (d)   Notice of Delivery of Non-Conforming Products. Emergent shall Notify Talecris of any Non-Conforming Product within (i) [**] days of Emergent's receipt of such Non-Conforming Product if a defect is discovered by Emergent through the use of reasonable testing methods and procedures or (ii) in the event of a defect (hidden or otherwise) which was not discovered through the use of such testing methods and procedures, the earlier of (A) [**] Business Days following Emergent's confirmation of the Non-Conforming status of the Finished Product, and (B) [**] months after delivery of the Non-Conforming Product. Talecris shall have the right to examine and test any Finished Product in Emergent's possession that Emergent claims is Non-Conforming, provided that such re-testing is conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory guidelines and other Applicable Law in the Major Markets. The Parties shall cooperate to determine the point at which the Finished Product became Non-Conforming. In the event that the Parties cannot agree as to whether any Finished Product is Non-Conforming, the Parties shall engage a mutually selected independent laboratory to make such determination in accordance with applicable regulatory guidelines and other Applicable Law in the Major Markets. If the dispute between the Parties relates to Talecris's ability to manufacture and deliver Finished Product that is not Non-Conforming, which is not attributable to any negligence or willful misconduct of Emergent, the Parties shall resolve their dispute in accordance with the procedures in Article 14. This Section shall not relieve Talecris of its obligations to deliver Finished Products in accordance with Sections 4.02(g) and 6.01.
 
  (e)   Responsibilities of the Quality Units. A summary of the responsibilities of the quality units of each Party related to the Process shall be set forth on Exhibit E, which responsibilities shall be further described in Exhibit F.

  (f)   Quality Assurance Audits by Emergent. During the Term, Emergent shall have the right, at Emergent's sole cost and expense, during normal business hours and upon reasonable Notice, to (i) have an Emergent employee present at the Facility(ies) during Processing and (ii) inspect the Facility(ies) in order to ensure that the Processing complies with the Product Specifications and cGMP. Such inspections shall not interfere with Talecris's operations and shall not exceed one (1) occurrence in any year; provided, however, that if any such inspection reveals

 


 
      any noncompliance with the Product Specifications or cGMP, Emergent shall have the right to conduct a reasonable number of follow-on inspections as necessary in order to confirm that compliance with such Product Specifications and cGMP has been re-established.
  (g)   Recalls and Voluntary Withdrawals. If either Party becomes aware of information about [**] indicating that they may be Non-Conforming or that there is potential adulteration, misbranding and/or any potential issues regarding safety or effectiveness, it shall promptly serve Notice to that effect on the other Party. The Party initiating an investigation and assessment of such circumstances shall promptly Notify the other Party of its findings and any proposed course of action. The Parties shall meet to discuss such circumstances and to consider appropriate courses of action; provided, however, that if Emergent determines that a recall or withdrawal of the [**] is necessary or advisable, Emergent shall have final decision-making authority concerning the course of action to be taken with respect to the affected [**]. Emergent shall bear all costs associated with such a recall or withdrawal of the [**], unless such recall or withdrawal is caused by Talecris' gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Talecris shall be solely responsible for all Product Liability Claims that arise out of Non-Conforming Product where such nonconformance (i) arose from Talecris' failure to Process Finished Product in accordance with Product Specifications or cGMP, and (ii) existed at the time the Finished Product was delivered by Talecris; provided, however, that Talecris' liability for such Product Liability Claims shall be limited to the greater of the (A) Processing Fees paid by Emergent during the twelve (12) months prior to the date the Claim arose, (B) the Commercial Volume Commitment for the Contract Year during which such Claim arose, or (C) the Firm Commitment for the Contract Year during which such Claim arose.
 
  (b)   Emergent's Liability. Emergent shall be solely responsible for all Product Liability Claims other than those for which responsibility was allocated to Talecris pursuant to Section 12.03(a).
 
  (c)   Responsibility for Settlement and Defense. The Parties shall jointly defend and settle any Product Liability Claim with respect to the Finished Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at such time that Talecris reasonably determines in good faith that there is a reasonable likelihood that a Product Liability Claim could have a material negative affect on Gamunex, then Talecris, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume the sole defense of such Product Liability Claim.

 


 
  (d)   Procedure. Each Party shall consult with the other Party on all material aspects of the defense, including without limitation settlement, of such Product Liability Claim, and the Parties shall cooperate fully with each other in connection therewith. To facilitate the defense of any Product Liability Claim, the Parties shall mutually select a law firm to represent them in the joint defense of such claim as soon as practicable following the Effective Date of this Agreement. In furtherance of the Parties' cooperation, the Parties will consult with each other regarding strategic decisions, including without limitation the changing of counsel and defense of each Product Liability Claim. Any settlement of a Product Liability Claim that would admit liability on the part of any Party or its Affiliates or Agents, or that would involve any relief other than the payment of money damages, shall be subject to the prior written approval of both Parties, such approval not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. All damages and expenses (including attorney's fees) incurred in connection with the defense of a Product Liability Claim shall be allocated between the Parties in accordance with Sections 12.03(a) and 12.03(b).
12.04   Notice. Should any claim arise which could reasonably be expected to lead to a claim for indemnification, the Party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") shall promptly Notify the other Party (the "Indemnifying Party") of the claim and the facts constituting the basis for such claim. The omission of such Notice shall not relieve either Party from its indemnification obligations under this Article 12, except to the extent the other Party can establish actual prejudice and direct damages as a result thereof.
 
12.05   Indemnification Not Sole Remedy. Each Party hereby acknowledges that the indemnification provided for under this Article 12 shall in no manner limit, restrict or prohibit (unless liability is otherwise expressly limited by the terms of this Agreement) either Party from seeking any recovery or remedy provided at law or in equity from the other Party in connection with any breach or default by such other Party of any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder.
 
12.06   Guarantor. Parent agrees to act as a third party guarantor ("Guarantor") of Emergent for the indemnities provided by Emergent to Talecris under this Article 12 and the payment obligations of Emergent set forth in Section 7.05(a). Upon Emergent's default of its indemnity obligations hereunder or its payment obligations set forth in Section 7.05(a), Guarantor agrees to guarantee such obligation as its own. Guarantor agrees that no amendment, termination or other release, other than Talecris expressly releasing Guarantor in writing, shall in any way alleviate its obligations under this Section 12.06 and Guarantor hereby waives any notice of any such amendment, termination or other release. Guarantor hereby agrees to give written notice to Talecris within ten (10) days of: (i) any notice received or action filed alleging the insolvency or bankruptcy of Guarantor; (ii) any notice received or action filed alleging the insolvency or bankruptcy of Emergent; or (iii) any other event which would otherwise reasonably prevent Guarantor from fulfilling its obligations under this Section 12.06.

 


 
ARTICLE 13 ó CONFIDENTIALITY
     Confidentiality. From the Effective Date through the seventh (7th) anniversary of the termination or expiration of this Agreement, each Party shall keep confidential and use solely for purposes of performing its obligations under this Agreement, and shall cause its respective Affiliates, Sublicensees and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents to keep confidential and to so use, all information proprietary or confidential to the other Party that has been acquired by it through its participation in the negotiation and performance of this Agreement. The foregoing restriction shall not apply to information that (a) is or hereafter becomes generally available to the public other than by reason of any default with respect to confidentiality under this Agreement, (b) is hereafter disclosed to such Party by a Third Party who is not in default of any confidentiality obligation to the other Party, (c) is hereafter developed by or on behalf of such Party, without reliance on confidential information acquired prior to the date hereof, (d) is required to be disclosed in compliance with Applicable Law or order by a court or other governmental or Regulatory Authority or body having competent jurisdiction, provided that reasonable measures shall be taken to assure confidential treatment of such information, or (e) is provided by such Party under appropriate terms and conditions, including confidentiality provisions equivalent to those in this Agreement, to Third Parties for consulting, accounting, legal and similar purposes, or to any permitted assignee of this Agreement, to the extent considered reasonably necessary to facilitate the assignment. For purposes of clarity, any information related to the composition and/or utility of Finished Product, the Emergent Specifications, and Fill/Finish Specifications shall be deemed confidential information of Emergent hereunder. The content of the Talecris BLA sections and the Gamunex Specifications shall be deemed confidential information of Talecris hereunder. Each Party recognizes that any violation of this confidentiality provision may cause the other Party irreparable harm and agrees that the other Party may be entitled, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have, at law or in equity, to an injunction without the posting of any bond or other security, enjoining the disclosing Party, its Affiliates, Sublicensees and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from any violation or potential violation of this Article.
ARTICLE 14 ó DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND LITIGATION
14.01   Dispute Resolution Procedures. Except for matters to be resolved pursuant to Sections 4.01(c)(v)(B), 5.02(d) or 9.03, any dispute arising out of, relating to, or having any connection with this Agreement (including any question relating to its existence, validity, interpretation, performance, or termination) ("Dispute") shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Article. If either Party fails to observe the procedures of this Article, as may be modified by the written agreement of the Parties, the other Party may bring an action for specific performance.
  (a)   Negotiation. In the event of a Dispute, the affected Party shall notify the other Party of the Dispute in writing, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith, for a period of thirty (30) days (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Parties) from the issuance of the Notice (the "Notice Date"), to resolve the Dispute without the intervention of a neutral party or a court.

 


 
  (b)   Mediation. If the Dispute remains unresolved within sixty (60) days after the Notice Date, either Party may request that the Parties submit the Dispute to non-binding mediation before a mutually acceptable neutral mediator by sending written Notice to the other Party. If the other Party agrees to mediate, the Parties shall attempt to resolve the Dispute through mediation until one of the following occurs: (i) the Parties reach a written settlement; (ii) the mediator notifies the Parties in writing that they have reached an impasse; (iii) the Parties agree in writing that they have reached an impasse; or (iv) the Parties have not reached a settlement within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Notice Date.
 
  (c)   Litigation. If the Parties fail to resolve the Dispute through mediation, or if the Dispute is, in any event, not resolved within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Notice Date, each Party shall have the right to pursue any other remedies legally available to resolve the Dispute.
 
  (d)   Statute of Limitations. The Parties agree that all applicable statutes of limitation and time-based defenses (such as estoppel and laches) shall be tolled while the procedures set forth in Sections 14.01(a) and 14.01(b) are pending. The Parties shall take any actions necessary to effectuate this result.
14.02   Other Rights.
  (a)   Exception for Additional Disputes. In the event that the Parties are involved in ongoing litigation of one or more Disputes that already have been through the dispute resolution process set forth in Sections 14.01(a)ó(c), the Parties are not required to submit additional Disputes to negotiations pursuant to Section 14.01(b), as long as that litigation remains pending.
 
  (b)   Provisional Remedies. Notwithstanding the dispute resolution procedures described above, either Party may seek a preliminary injunction or other provisional equitable relief if, in its reasonable judgment, such action is necessary to avoid irreparable harm.
 
  (c)   Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Article shall preclude, interfere with or modify either Party's rights under Article 10 with respect to the termination of this Agreement.
14.03   Governing Law. This Agreement and any and all matters arising directly or indirectly herefrom shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the United States and the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles.

15.04   Waivers; Amendment. The failure of either Party to insist, in any one or more instances, upon the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any right hereunder, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of the future performance of any such term, covenant or conditions or the future exercise of such right, and the obligation of the other Party with respect to such future performance shall continue in full force and effect.

Upon such Notice, the Parties shall agree upon a reasonable extension of the time for performance, not to exceed an extension equal to the period the Force Majeure condition continues to exist.
 
15.12   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and same instrument.

  6.3.2.   Copies of this SOP are sent to Plasma Operations Account Managers each time this SOP is revised. From the date this SOP is approved, the effective date will be stamped one month in advance and sent to plasma suppliers to conduct training.
 
  6.3.3.   Master copies of NDP and PLS forms are sent to Plasma Operations Account Managers each time the forms are modified.
7.   PROCEDURE
  7.1.   Vendor Approval
  7.1.1.   Talecris must approve each plasma collection, testing, storage and transport establishment prior to shipment of plasma. This approval is documented internally at Talecris in accordance with CS-000-BE-057 and externally in written correspondence to the plasma supplier.
  7.2.   Plasma Identification
  7.2.1.   A Talecris-approved bar code labeling system must be used to generate all labels used for plasma donor, unit, sample, and case identification. Talecris provides appropriate scan sheets for use with the Sigma Bar Code Printer System. Alternate bar-coding systems are acceptable for use if approved, in writing, by Talecris Plasma Operations Technical Services Manager.
 
  7.2.2.   Correct plasma material number assignment is critical to Talecris receipt and manufacturing operations. Usage decisions and traceability of plasma is dependent on plasma material numbers. The plasma material number identifies the plasma type, that the plasma is collected in bottles, the testing level of the plasma, and EU approval status. Refer to Talecris' General Specification - Source Plasma for required plasma material number legend.
 
  7.2.3.   A unique vendor batch number must be assigned to each plasma type within the shipment.
  a.   The unique vendor batch number for the shipment must be for only one center (combining plasma units from different centers in one case is unacceptable).

  7.3.   Plasma Unit Documentation and Error Correction of PPL
  7.3.1.   Record Keeping
 
      Adhere to the following instructions when making entries or correcting errors on packing lists and other records that are sent to Talecris:
  a.   Make all entries on all documents in permanent, indelible black or blue ink.
 
  b.   It is unacceptable to use felt-tipped or gel pens on documents sent to Talecris.
 
  c.   All entries on all documents and photocopies must be legible.
 
  d.   If a space is inappropriate for a given step, enter N/A (Not Applicable). If a space becomes inappropriate due to special circumstances, enter N/A and a brief explanation. A diagonal line may be used across unused spaces. All entries must be initialed and dated.
 
  e.   When a copy is sent as documentation, it must bear the statement, "This is a true and accurate copy of the original." The statement must be initialed and dated by center management.
NOTE:   If the entire packing list is a copy, one stamp on the PLS is adequate. If subsequent changes are made on plasma units or cases, the affected pages must be stamped, initialed, and dated.
  f.   Use of liquid paper, white out, or any similar material that obliterates errors is unacceptable.
 
  g.   Application of one plasma unit control number label over another is unacceptable.
  7.3.2.   Removal of a Plasma Unit
  a.   When a plasma unit is removed from a case, two initials and the date of action are required on the PPL to verify that the unit has been removed. Talecris QO Plasma may approve, in writing, an alternate documentation method for unit removal.
  7.3.3.   Error Correction
  a.   Draw a single line through the error so that the words (or figures, etc.) can still be read. Initial and date line out. Rewrite correct information.
 
  b.   If a plasma unit is lined out in error, it is not acceptable to Talecris. For Talecris to accept such a plasma unit, all correct unit information must be re-entered on the PPL with a detailed explanation of why the line out occurred. Comment must also be initialed and dated.

  7.4.   Unacceptable Plasma Units
  7.4.1.   Plasma units that test positive, reactive, or elevated for any of the required tests must not be shipped to Talecris. Actions to be taken and lookback requirements must be followed as outlined in Talecris General Specification ó Source Plasma, Appendix A, Table of Actions.
 
  7.4.2.   If in error, a viral marker reactive or NAT reactive unit is shipped to Talecris or unit from a donor diagnosed with CJD/vCJD is shipped to Talecris, immediately forward the NDP by fax to 919-359-4428. Additionally, phone the Talecris QO Plasma Supervisor at 919-359-4581 to initiate unit trace.
 
  7.4.3.   Plasma units with unacceptably high hemoglobin concentrations must not be shipped to Talecris. Evaluate hemoglobin concentration at time of collection using the Talecris Hemoglobin Comparator by following the instructions for use printed on the card. Note that the color comparison must be performed against the well-mixed, liquid contents of the plasma collection bottle prior to freezing.
  7.5.   Notification for Destruction of Plasma (NDP)
  7.5.1.   As detailed in the Talecris General Specification- Source Plasma, Appendix A ó Table of Actions, following receipt of a repeat reactive test result or valid post-donation information, complete the plasma center entries on the NDP form for notification to Talecris of needed unit destruction. It is critical for unit traceability at Talecris that all Plasma Item or SAP material numbers reported on the NDP form reflect the actual Plasma Item or SAP material numbers under which the plasma was shipped. Due to added NAT level testing, Plasma Item and SAP material numbers have changed over time.
 
  7.5.2.   Concerning instances of owner transfer of plasma centers, the NDDR and Talecris center code reported on the NDP sent to Talecris must reflect the NDDR/center code at the time of unit collection (not at time of reporting).
 
  7.5.3.   The NDP must be faxed to Clayton Plasma Receiving within 3 working days upon receipt of a reactive or positive test result for a donor from whom prior or subsequent units have been shipped to Talecris (lookbacks). Reference the Talecris fax number on the NDP form.
 
  7.5.4.   The NDP must be faxed to Clayton Plasma Receiving within 1 working day of notification of Post Donation Information resulting in product recalls or seizure concerning units shipped to Talecris. Reference the Talecris fax number on the NDP form.
 
  7.5.5.   The NDP must be faxed to Clayton Plasma Receiving within a timely manner for Post Donation Information (PDI) not resulting in a seizure or recall (example: tattoo, body piercing, high risk). Reference the Talecris fax number on the NDP form.

  7.5.6.   For any reason other than viral marker lookback, record reason as "Other" status in Section 3 of the NDP form and provide a detailed explanation. An example of "Other" unacceptable plasma is plasma from donors with valid post-donation information that would make them unacceptable donors; Public Health Notifications; plasma involved in plasma shipping errors, etc. Complete information is needed by Talecris to evaluate the status of plasma pools that contain units with any post-donation information except lookback plasma units. If necessary, use an additional sheet of paper identified by Center Code/NDDR and Donor Number.
 
  7.5.7.   Enter date the reactive test result, or other information, was received by the plasma center in Section 4 of the NDP form.
 
  7.5.8.   Complete only one NDP per donor, even if the donor is reactive for more than one test. Use the longest lookback period as defined in the Table of Actions.
 
  7.5.9.   Within one working day of receipt of a NDP, Clayton will fax a partially completed copy of the NDP, confirming receipt of NDP, to the fax number (plasma center or corporate office) entered in Step 6 of the form. If the fax is not received, contact Plasma Receiving, Talecris, Clayton (919-359-4444).
 
      Clayton will only fax a completed dispositioned copy of the NDP for notifications marked "Recall." It may take several months for plasma suppliers to receive the completed, dispositioned copy of the NDP from Talecris due to the plasma inventory hold periods.
 
  7.5.10.   In the event that a change has to be made to an original NDP that has already been sent to Clayton Lookback, the plasma supplier must stamp or write Revision and clearly indicate by circling the change(s) and/or addition(s) made that differ from the data reported on the original NDP before re-sending to Clayton Lookback. A date and initials must accompany these changes, additions, and/or comments. Any alternative method for error correction to original NDP's must be pre-approved by Talecris (example: brackets).
  7.6.   Plasma Packaging
  7.6.1.   Talecris requires all U.S. source plasma to be collected and shipped in approved bottles for receipt.
  a.   Remove all rubber bands or tape prior to placing unfrozen plasma units in freezer.
 
  b.   Store filled cases in a freezer operating at -20°C or colder until time of shipment.
 
  c.   The plasma case must be pre-approved, in writing, by Talecris Manager of Technical Services or designated Talecris Plasma Operations Account Managers with input from Talecris QO and Supply Chain groups.
 
  d.   The plasma case must have any softgoods labeling information either crossed out or only the plasma case label visible.

  e.   Line the case with a polyethylene liner of at least 1.3 mil thickness that has been inspected for tears prior to placing into the case. The liner selected must permit closure of the filled case without bulging or tearing. Do not use twist ties to close the liner.
 
  f.   The maximum acceptable volume of Normal plasma to be shipped to Talecris in a vendor batch number is 3,700 Liters.
 
  g.   Targeted volume of plasma to be shipped to Talecris in a vendor batch number is 1,840 Liters.
 
  h.   Targeted minimum volume of plasma to be shipped to Talecris in a vendor batch number is 90 liters. Talecris Plasma Operations Account Manager must be notified for any vendor batch number less than 90 liters prior to shipment.
 
  i.   Plasma units with less than 200 mL are unacceptable to Talecris.
 
  j.   Plasma units from individual donors must not be shipped to Talecris out of collection sequence.
  7.6.2.   Two plasma supplier employees must participate in packing plasma units into the case, one employee performing the task and the other verifying the correct units are being packed and the correct labels have been applied. Each participating employee's initials are required on the Plasma Packing List.
  a.   Alternatively, automated electronic verification may be used; in which case one person's initials must appear on the Plasma Packing List verifying correct packing and labeling.
 
  b.   Only if a Plasma Center has one employee can packing and manual verification be performed and initialed by one person.
  7.6.3.   When using the Sigma Bar Code Printer System apply a vendor batch number sticker and a SAP case number sticker on the plasma shipper label, in spaces adjacent to each hand-written entry.
 
  7.6.4.   Prior to use each day, verify the Sigma label printer/scanner against the Daily Start up Label Set. Create all three donation labels from the Daily Start up Label Set scan menu, and compare to the sample labels provided on the menu. Document results on a Daily Start up Scanner/Printer Test Record or equivalent. Deface and discard test labels.
  a.   Alignment of the label stock should be monitored throughout the day to ensure that the white spaces (quiet zones) on each side of the barcode are no less than 1/8.î

  7.7.   Storage Temperature Certification
  7.7.1.   Using the Packing List Summary (PLS) form, the plasma supplier will record the temperature status of the plasma shipment while it has been in storage.
 
  7.7.2.   There are three options for plasma temperature storage disposition:
  a.   The first option for temperature storage certification is applicable if all storage temperature recordings for associated plasma have been -20°C or colder.
 
  b.   The second option for temperature storage certification is applicable if only one temperature storage excursion has occurred for associated plasma and it still meets the maximum temperature requirements for Source Plasma in 21 CFR 640.76. Option 2 requires copies of all applicable temperature records (freezer graph(s), freezer logs and any associated investigation and/or CAPA documents) to be attached to Page 2 of the PLS forms.
 
  c.   The third option for temperature storage certification is applicable if all storage temperature recordings for associated plasma meet the requirements for Source Plasma, Salvaged as defined in 21 CFR 640.76. Option 3 also requires copies of all applicable temperature records to be attached to Page 2 of the PLS forms. Additionally, since pre-approval from Talecris is required for shipment, the Request/Approval Form for Source Plasma, Salvaged must be initiated and forwarded to the Talecris Account Manager. Full instructions for shipment of Source Plasma, Salvaged is listed in Section 7.8.
  7.8.   Source Plasma, Salvaged
  7.8.1.   Because Talecris is limited in the timeframe in which plasma must be processed (greater than 60 days but less than 3 years from date of collection) and because of the limited markets that will accept product manufactured from source plasma, salvaged, receipt of this material is not desirable.
 
  7.8.2.   Source Plasma, Salvaged is defined in 21 CFR 640.76.
 
  7.8.3.   Prior to shipment of any Source Plasma, Salvaged, written approval must be received from Talecris Plasma Operations Account Manager with Clayton QO Plasma concurrence.
  a.   Complete Talecris Shipment Request/Approval Form for Salvaged Plasma.
 
  b.   Submit completed form with required documentation to Talecris Account Manager for approval.
  7.8.4.   Each case of plasma, the Packing List Summary Sheet and Bill of Lading must be clearly marked: "Source Plasma ó Salvaged."
 
  7.8.5.   Source plasma, salvaged, is not used for products going to EU and, therefore, cannot be labeled with German/EU plasma material numbers.

Dear Jim,
     Reference is hereby made to the Product Supply Agreement ("Supply Agreement"), dated as of June 12, 2006, by and between Emergent Product Development Gaithersburg Inc. ("Emergent") and Talecris Biotherapeutics, Inc. ("Talecris"). This letter ("Letter Agreement") sets forth the understanding between Emergent, including Emergent BioSolutions Inc., and any and all Affiliates, and Talecris and Precision Pharma Services, and any and all Affiliates regarding each Party's noncompete and/or exclusivity obligations in connection with the Supply Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them under the Supply Agreement.
     1. Talecris Restrictions.
     (a) During the Term of the Supply Agreement, Talecris shall have the right to research, develop and obtain regulatory approval for any pharmaceutical product that contains AIG as an active ingredient ("Competing Product"), other than the Finished Product (as defined in the Supply Agreement), either by itself or in collaboration with or on behalf of a Third Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at all times during the Term of the Supply Agreement, Talecris shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to do either of the following
(except pursuant to the Supply Agreement):
(i) detail, promote, market, offer to sell, sell or otherwise dispose of any Competing Product in the Territory, either by itself or in collaboration with or on behalf of a Third Party; or,
(ii) acquire directly or indirectly any rights or interest in or to any Competing Product which is detailed, promoted, marketed, offered for sale, sold or otherwise disposed of in the Territory.
     (b) In the event that Talecris elects to terminate the Supply Agreement pursuant to Section 10.02(b) thereof (Elective Termination by Talecris):
(i) the restrictions set forth in paragraph 1(a) above shall terminate upon the second (2nd) anniversary of the Talecris Elective Termination Notice; and

 


 
(ii) the restrictions set forth in paragraphs 2(a) and 2(b) below shall terminate on the date of delivery to Emergent of the Talecris Elective Termination Notice.

     (d) In the event that Emergent terminates the Supply Agreement pursuant to Section 10.02(e) (Supply Failure), Section 10.02(g) (Material Breach by Talecris), Section 10.02(i) (Pre-Commercial Failure) or Section 10.02(k) thereof (Safety Concerns), the restrictions set forth in paragraphs 2(a) and 2(b) above shall terminate upon the effective date of termination of the Supply Agreement as set forth therein.
     (e) In the event that Emergent terminates the Supply Agreement pursuant to Section 10.02(j) thereof (Termination of AIG Program), the restrictions set forth in paragraphs 2(a) and 2(b) above shall terminate upon the later of (i) the end of the Term of the Supply Agreement, (ii) the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date of the Supply Agreement, or (iii) the end of any Exclusivity Extension Period. If, following termination of the Supply Agreement pursuant to Section 10.02(j) thereof but prior to the end of the period set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, Emergent proposes to purchase commercial supplies of Finished Product from Talecris, Emergent shall Notify Talecris of such proposal and Talecris shall have thirty (30) days from the date of such Notice to reinstate the Supply Agreement.

2


 
     3. Extension. No later than [**] months prior to the end of the Initial Term, Emergent may Notify Talecris that Emergent accepts extension of the exclusivity period, in which case the Exclusivity Extension Period shall be deemed to be in effect. If no such Notice is given, the restrictions set forth in paragraph 1(a) shall terminate upon the conclusion of the Initial Term. The "Exclusivity Extension Period" shall mean the period commencing upon the conclusion of the Initial Term and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary thereof.
     4. No Amendment. Other than as expressly set forth in this Letter Agreement, this Letter Agreement shall in no way limit or modify either of the Parties' obligations under the Supply Agreement, or any other agreement between the Parties.
     5. Governing Law. This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the United States and the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

Category Definitions
Category A Diseases/Agents
The U.S. public health system and primary healthcare providers must be prepared to address various biological agents, including pathogens that are rarely seen in the United States. High-priority agents include organisms that pose a risk to national security because they
  ï   can be easily disseminated or transmitted from person to person;
 
  ï   result in high mortality rates and have the potential for major public health impact;

 


 
  ï   might cause public panic and social disruption; and
 
  ï   require special action for public health preparedness.
Category B Diseases/Agents
Second highest priority agents include those that
  ï   are moderately easy to disseminate;
 
  ï   result in moderate morbidity rates and low mortality rates; and
 
  ï   require specific enhancements of CDC's diagnostic capacity and enhanced disease surveillance.
Category C Diseases/Agents
Third highest priority agents include emerging pathogens that could be engineered for mass dissemination in the future because of
  ï   availability;
 
  ï   ease of production and dissemination; and
 
  ï   potential for high morbidity and mortality rates and major health impact.
