Quick Facts — Consignment Inventory Agreement Lawyers

What is a Consignment Inventory Agreement?

A consignment inventory agreement is a contract between the business owner and the vendor. The vendor decides how much of their goods they would like to sell on behalf of the business. But, all profits from these items go to either party (the vendor or the company). This type of agreement usually lasts for an agreed-upon amount of time. Then, either party can terminate the contract with notice in advance.

The benefits are that this allows businesses to avoid carrying any inventory costs while still having access to many products that may not be found at brick-and-mortar locations. These agreements also help vendors who have excess inventory without room for storage find buyers quickly.

     (i) Consignor has delivered to Consignee all of the Part 1 Assets constituting finished product inventory for sale to any third party (a “Consignment Sale”).
     (ii) Consignor shall at all times retain title to all Consigned Merchandise, and Consignee agrees to hold the Consigned Merchandise as Consignor’s property for the sole purpose of making Consignment Sales in the ordinary course of Consignee’s business.
     (iii) Consignee covenants not to assign, sell, mortgage, lease, transfer, pledge, grant a security interest in or lien upon, encumber or otherwise dispose of or abandon, or suffer or permit any of the same to occur with respect to any part or all of the Consigned Merchandise, without prior written consent of Consignor, except for Consignment Sales in the ordinary course of Consignee’s business.
     (b) Consignee will continue to engage in Consignment Sales in the ordinary course of Consignee’s business as if the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement had not taken place. Upon removal of any Consigned Merchandise by or on behalf of Consignee from a Consignee Location (as hereinafter defined) in anticipation of a Consignment Sale, title to the Consigned Merchandise will pass from Consignor to Consignee subject to the occurrence of a Consignment Sale in the ordinary course of Consignee’s business. All proceeds of Consignment Sales shall be the sole property of Consignee.
     (c) Consignor may execute and file all such instruments, including Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, as may be necessary to confirm and to disclose Consignor’s title to the Consigned Merchandise. Consignee will cause each lender, if any, that has a security interest in any of Consignee’s inventory or equipment to provide to Consignor written confirmation that such lender has been informed of Consignor’s ownership of the Consigned Merchandise.
     3. Location of Consigned Merchandise. All Consigned Merchandise will be held by Consignee at the locations set forth on Schedule B hereto (the “Consignee Locations”).

Consignee will provide prompt written notice to Consignor if Consignee intends to add or discontinue the use of any Consignee Location. Consignee will store, maintain, inspect and

3

 

otherwise manage the Consigned Merchandise consistent with the ordinary course of Consignee’s business as heretofore conducted.
     4. Acquisition and Maintenance of Inventory. As of the date hereof, Consignee has placed an order with Ceph International Corp., a Commonwealth of Puerto Rico corporation, to manufacture and deliver in April, 2008 the quantities of 250 mg. and 500 mg. Part 1 Assets set forth in Schedule C hereto (the “Ordered Inventory”). Consignee shall not cancel or modify its purchase order for the Ordered Inventory without the written consent of Consignor. Consignee shall use commercially reasonable efforts at all times during the Repurchase Period to maintain, in Consignee’s reasonable business judgment, a sufficient supply of each dose and package size of the finished products included in the Consigned Merchandise; provided, that with respect to the Ordered Inventory, Consignee’s obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such finished products shall begin upon receipt of the Ordered Inventory. Consignee shall pay all costs incurred to replenish the Consigned Merchandise pursuant to this Section 4.
     5. Risk of Loss and Insurance. Consignee will bear all risk of loss or damage to Consigned Merchandise and will maintain (i) all-risk property insurance for the full replacement value on all Consigned Merchandise and (ii) general liability insurance under customary pharmaceutical industry forms and endorsements, providing product liability and contractual liability coverage, with per occurrence limits of not less than $10,000,000, which limits may be achieved through a combination of underlying and excess policies. The insurance policies described in the preceding sentence shall be endorsed to (A) name Consignor as an additional insured and loss payee, as applicable and (B) be primary and non-contributory to any insurance otherwise available to Consignor. Consignee will cause the insurer to provide Consignor with a certificate of insurance evidencing the existence of such insurance, including its primary and non-contributory nature, upon the execution of this Agreement and at such times as Consignor may request thereafter. Such certificate of insurance shall provide that the insurer will notify Consignor not less than thirty (30) days prior to any expiration, non-renewal, cancellation, reduction in limits or exhaustion of limits of such insurance. Consignee will be responsible for any deductible or self-insured amounts under any such insurance.
     6. Terms of Consignment Sales. Subject to the terms hereof, all Consignment Sales shall be made in the ordinary course of Consignee’s business.
     7. Product Warranties. CONSIGNEE HEREBY ACCEPTS ALL CONSIGNED MERCHANDISE ON AN “AS IS” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY SORT, INCLUDING EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Consignee shall be responsible for all products warranties made in connection with Consignment Sales and shall indemnify and hold harmless Consignor from and against all warranty claims of any sort arising out of Consignment Sales, other than claims arising out of Consignor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
     8. Consignment Payment. In consideration of the Consignment of Consigned Merchandise pursuant to this Agreement, Consignee shall pay Consignor payments (each such payment a “Consignment Payment”) as follows:

4

 

     (a) Initial Period Payment. During the Initial Period, the Consignment Payment shall be equal to eleven percent (11%) of Consignee’s Net Sales of Consigned Merchandise, plus such additional amount, if any, as may be necessary for Consignee to pay the Minimum Consignment Payment.
     (b) Extended Period Payment. During the Extended Period, the Consignment Payment shall be equal to six percent (6%) of Consignee’s Net Sales of Consigned Merchandise, plus such additional amount, if any, as may be necessary for Consignee to pay the Minimum Consignment Payment.
     (c) Minimum Consignment Payment. Regardless of the amount of Net Sales, the Minimum Consignment Payment during any calendar quarter shall be Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) (the “Minimum Consignment Payment”); provided, that any payment by Consignee to Lex during any calendar quarter pursuant to the Registration License shall be included for purposes of determining whether Consignee has paid the Minimum Consignment Payment for such calendar quarter. The Minimum Consignment Payment shall be pro-rated during the first and last calendar quarters of the Term to reflect the portion of such calendar quarters during which this Agreement is in effect.
     (d) Quarterly Payment. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter any part of which is during the Term, Consignee shall deliver to Consignor (i) a written statement showing all Net Sales during such calendar quarter and (ii) the greater of (A) the Consignment Payment due upon such Net Sales and (B) the Minimum Consignment Payment. All payments shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Consignor at least two (2) Business Days in advance.
     9. Access by Consignor.
     (a) Inspection. Consignee will permit Consignor, its officers, agents and accountants access to Consignee’s facilities and Consignee Locations during customary business hours for the purpose of inspecting and otherwise examining the Consigned Merchandise and auditing the books and records of Consignee to the extent such books and records reflect sales of Consigned Merchandise. Consignor will give Consignee not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior notice, which notice may be given orally, electronically, in writing or by any other reasonable and verifiable means of communication, prior to inspection. Consignor will conduct any such inspection or audit in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the ordinary conduct of Consignee’s business and will permit Consignee to observe any inspection of the Consigned Merchandise conducted by Consignor.
     (b) Audit. Upon not less than seven (7) days written notice, Consignor shall have the right to audit the books and records of Consignee relating to sales of Consigned Merchandise for the purpose of determining the correctness of Consignee’s computation and payment of the Consignment Payment. Such audit may not be conducted more than once in any six-month period and shall be conducted during normal business hours. Consignor may engage an accounting firm at its cost to perform or assist in such audit. Consignee shall provide Consignor, its officers, agents and accountants with access to all pertinent books and records and shall reasonably cooperate with Consignor’s efforts to conduct such audits.

     12. Force Majeure. No Party shall be responsible to any other Party for any failure or delay in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement or for other nonperformance hereof if such delay or nonperformance is caused by fire, flood, accident, act of God or of the government or any country or of any state or local government, or of the public enemy of either, or by cause unavoidable or beyond the control of such Party. In such event, the Party affected will use reasonable commercial efforts to resume performance of its obligations.

"I had an excellent experience working with Dolan on my employment separation agreement. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and took the time to carefully review my documents and answer my questions in a way that was easy to understand. His advice was practical and thoughtful, and he identified several important issues that I would not have considered on my own. I appreciated that he explained both the legal implications and the negotiation strategy rather than simply reviewing the agreement. If you are looking for an employment attorney who is professional, thorough, and genuinely invested in helping you protect your interests, I would highly recommend Dolan."

I have worked at top Wall Street firms, top regional firms and have long term experience in my own practice. I would welcome the opportunity to be of service to you as a trusted fiduciary. In 2022 and 2023, I was the top ranked attorney on the Contract Counsel site based upon number of clients, quality of work and number of 5 Star reviews.

"Michael's expertise and judgment impressed me. I brought him in for contract advisory work, and he quickly asked the questions I hadn't considered, identified the risks that mattered, and set aside the ones I had wrongly prioritized. He changed how I understood the contract. He is an excellent advisor - highly recommended."

As a former corporate attorney at one of the world's premier global law firms and former in-house counsel at Texas Instruments, a Fortune 500 technology leader, I bring big-firm expertise and corporate-level sophistication to entrepreneurs, startups, and small business owners who deserve the same quality legal support as the largest companies in the world. As a lawyer and startup founder with products currently being sold in national retail chains, I've spent my career at the intersection of complex business transactions, corporate law, and policy. I know how deals get done, where contracts go wrong, and how to protect businesses before problems arise. Now, I put that experience to work for founders and business owners who need practical, straightforward legal guidance without the intimidating price tag of a major law firm. Whether you're signing your first vendor contract, structuring a partnership, protecting your intellectual property, or navigating a business dispute, I translate the law into plain language so you can make confident decisions and focus on growing your business. What I bring to the table: - Complex commercial transactions experience at an AmLaw 100 firm - 7+ years as in-house counsel at a Fortune 500 company - Deep understanding of how businesses actually operate day-to-day - Flat-fee, transparent pricing with no billing surprises - Fast turnaround and direct communication If you're building something, I want to help you protect it.

"Chaz was extremely helpful, thorough, and professional. I hired him for a cease and desist letter involving an unauthorized use of my company’s business identity, EIN, and credit. He took the time to review the documents carefully, explain the legal issues in plain English, and help me understand the strengths and challenges of my situation. What stood out most was how organized he was. He prepared a legal analysis memo before our call, walked me through the authority issues, and adjusted his approach after reviewing additional company documents. He was patient, clear, and never made me feel rushed, even though the situation involved several complicated details. The final work product was strong, detailed, and tailored to my specific facts rather than feeling like a generic template. I would definitely recommend Chaz to anyone who needs a knowledgeable attorney who communicates clearly and takes the time to understand the full picture."
