What is a Manufacturing And Supply Agreement?
A manufacturing and supply agreement often called the MSA, is a contract between two organizations. It lays out how one partner will manufacture or provide goods for another partner. For example, with an MSA, the supplier agrees to give the materials specific quality standards and deliver them at agreed-upon intervals. In contrast, the buyer agrees to take delivery of those materials and pay for them in advance.
The parties may also decide on payment terms, and other details such as insurance coverage against possible defects or recalls, warranties, and intellectual property rights. A manufacturing and supply agreement can be customized to meet many different needs. For instance, suppose a business is looking for a manufacturer who can produce a product in volume quantities, but that business doesn't need it delivered on time every month. Then, this could be a good option.

If any of these technical assumptions must be revised, the Parties shall discuss in good faith the adjustment in Product Price, if any, resulting from such revision. Sanofi-aventis shall upon Horizon’s request assist Horizon in the selection of industrial options that, while conforming to such revised technical assumptions, represent the best fit with the Production Site standard practices.
9.3 Price Adjustments. (a) PPI. On or before February 15, 2012 and on or before each February 15 thereafter, subject to Article 5 and Sections 9.2 and 9.4 hereof, the portion of the Product Price applicable during the previous Contract Year exclusive of the cost of API and freight for the transport of API to the relevant Production Site (the “API Portion”) for such Contract Year for all SKUs of the Product ordered by Horizon during the current Contract Year shall be adjusted by a percentage equal to the percentage change in the Producer Price Index (Pharmaceutical Preparations, Mfg. ‘PCU325412325412’) published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (or such other index as the Parties may hereafter mutually determine) during the twelve (12) month period ending with the most recent month for which finalized published monthly statistics are available, and once such data is available for a given period, price increases will be retroactive to January 1 of the applicable Contract Year for any Product shipped after that date. For the avoidance of doubt, all adjustments pursuant to this Section 9.3(a), together with any other adjustments made pursuant to Article 5, Sections 9.2, 9.3(b) or 9.4, shall be cumulative.
(b) API True Up and Adjustment. The API Portion of the Product Price will be adjusted […***…] to reflect actual changes thereto and sanofi-aventis will […***…] pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (b). Simultaneously with the quantity reconciliation submitted to Horizon pursuant to Section 9.1, sanofi-aventis shall submit to Horizon an API Portion reconciliation showing the difference between the API Portion paid by Horizon and the actual amount paid by sanofi-aventis to purchase the API converted into Product purchased by Horizon during the previous Contract Year. If such reconciliation shows that Horizon has overpaid for such purchases, then sanofi-aventis shall, at Horizon’s election, either refund such overpayment within […***…] days of its submission of such reconciliation or credit such overpayment against future purchases of the Product. If such reconciliation shows that Horizon has underpaid for such purchases, then Horizon shall remit the balance so determined to be due to sanofi-aventis within […***…] days of its submission of such reconciliation. The actual amount paid by sanofi-aventis to purchase the API converted into
| ***Confidential Treatment Requested | ||||||||
| MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT | PAGE | 13 | ||||||
Product shall constitute the new adjusted API Portion for the then current Contract Year for purposes of calculating the estimated Purchase Price pursuant to Section 9.1.
9.4 Improvement Program. Horizon and sanofi-aventis, through specifically designated personnel of each Party, shall collaborate on a regular basis during the Term to identify, track and review specific cost-saving improvement opportunities relating to the manufacturing process of the Product hereunder and shall agree funding for required technical or other resources to develop such improvements. Clearly identified and mutually agreed savings resulting from jointly developed technological changes or processes (and the costs incurred in connection with their industrial implementation at the Production Site) shall be shared equally by the Parties and shall be so reflected in the Product Prices.
9.5 Payment Terms. Sanofi-aventis shall invoice Horizon for all quantities of the Product purchased hereunder concurrently with sanofi-aventis’ shipment thereof to Horizon. All amounts properly invoiced by sanofi-aventis hereunder shall be due and payable […***…] days from the date of such invoice. Payment may be made by Horizon’s corporate check or by wire transfer of funds to such account as sanofi-aventis may designate.
9.6 Tax. In addition to the Product Price, Horizon shall pay to sanofi-aventis all use, consumption, sales, withholding or excise taxes of any relevant taxing authority arising from sale of the Product by sanofi-aventis to Horizon, other than taxes based upon sanofi-aventis’ net income, and any tax that may be assessed on the bulk Product for shipment between Production Sites. The amount of such taxes will be added to the Product Price in effect at the time of shipment and will be reflected in the invoices submitted to Horizon by sanofi-aventis. To the extent services include research and development relating to the Product, then sanofi-aventis shall be exclusively entitled to claim any research and development tax credits relating to such research and development services under applicable law.

Sanofi-aventis shall have no liability to Horizon with respect to any such nonconformity or shortage to the extent that the Parties agree in writing (or, absent such agreement, which a mutually acceptable independent laboratory or consultant determines) that such nonconformity or shortage (i) was caused as a result of information supplied by Horizon, (ii) was otherwise caused by Horizon or its agents, (iii) was caused after delivery thereof to the carrier at the Production Site, (iv) was a change in the color or characteristics of conforming Product occurring after sanofi-aventis QA release of the Product that is related to the quality of the Horizon API or (v) was caused by the failure of otherwise attributable to or arising from the Horizon API. In all other cases, at Horizon’s election, sanofi-aventis shall promptly credit Horizon’s account for sanofi-aventis’ invoice price to Horizon of such nonconforming or short Product or deliver the amount of the shortages; or if Horizon shall have previously paid for such nonconforming Product, sanofi-aventis shall promptly, at Horizon’s election, either (a) refund the invoice price thereof, (b) offset the amount thereof against other amounts then due sanofi-aventis hereunder or (c) replace such nonconforming or short Product with conforming Product at no additional cost to Horizon.

The fees and expenses of any independent laboratory or consultant engaged by the Parties for purposes of this section shall be paid by the Party which is determined to bear responsibility for the nonconformity or shortage in question.
16.2 Recalls.
(a) Notices. Each Party shall notify the other Party as soon as possible when they receive information, whether received directly or indirectly, which might affect the marketability, quality, safety or effectiveness of the Product and/or which might result in the Recall or seizure of the Product. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Recall” shall mean any action: (i) by either Party to recover title to or possession of quantities of the Product sold or shipped to Third Parties (including, without limitation, the voluntary withdrawal of the Product from the market) or (ii) by any regulatory authorities to detain or destroy any of the Product. “Recall” shall also include the election by either Party to refrain from selling or shipping quantities of the Product to Third Parties that would have been subject to a Recall if sold or shipped. Each Party shall maintain records as may be necessary to permit a Recall of the Product. The Quality Agreement will provide further details regarding Recall procedures.
| ***Confidential Treatment Requested | ||||||||
| MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT | PAGE | 23 | ||||||
(b) Discretion. Horizon shall have the sole right to institute a Recall or field alert of the Product as a consequence of any defect that Horizon deems sufficiently serious. Horizon shall consult with sanofi-aventis regarding any Recall or Field Alert that may be due to manufacture; provided, however, that Horizon shall retain sole discretion whether to institute a Recall. Sanofi-aventis shall provide a rapid initial response and a full report with respect thereto within ten (10) working days of such notification.
(c) Responsibilities. Sanofi-aventis shall have no liability to Horizon with respect to any Recall to the extent the Parties agree in writing (or, absent such agreement, which a mutually acceptable independent laboratory or consultant determines) that the Recall (i) was caused by information supplied by Horizon, (ii) was otherwise caused by Horizon or its agents, (iii) was caused by factors occurring after delivery of the Recalled Product to the carrier at the Production Site (other than Latent Defects), or (iv) did not result from a breach of sanofi-aventis’ warranties provided under this Agreement. In addition, Horizon shall reimburse sanofi-aventis for all reasonable out-of-pocket Third Party costs and expenses incurred and not recovered by sanofi-aventis directly resulting from such Recall (subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 17.5). For all Recalls which result from a breach of sanofi-aventis’ warranties provided under this Agreement, except to the extent sanofi-aventis does not have liability pursuant to this Section 16.2(c), sanofi-aventis shall: (i) promptly credit Horizon’s account for sanofi-aventis’ invoice price to Horizon of such Recalled Product; if Horizon shall have previously paid for such Product, sanofi-aventis shall promptly, at Horizon’s election, either (A) refund the invoice price, (B) offset the amount thereof against other amounts then due sanofi-aventis hereunder or (C) replace such Product at no additional cost to Horizon; and (ii) reimburse Horizon for all reasonable out-of-pocket Third Party costs and expenses incurred and not recovered by Horizon directly resulting from such Recall (subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 17.5 and 17.6 hereof).
(d) Independent Laboratory Costs. The fees and expenses of any independent laboratory or consultant engaged by the Parties for purposes of this Section 16.2 shall be paid by the Party which is determined to bear responsibility for the Recall in question.
16.3 Disposition of Nonconforming or Recalled Product. Horizon shall not dispose of any damaged, nonconforming or Recalled Product as to which it intends to assert a claim against sanofi-aventis without sanofi-aventis’ written authorization to do so. Alternatively, sanofi-aventis may instruct Horizon to return such Product to sanofi-aventis. Sanofi-aventis shall bear the cost of disposition (as well as all applicable shipping costs) with respect to any damaged, nonconforming or Recalled Product as to which it bears responsibility under Section 16.1 or 16.2 hereof.

Horizon shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless sanofi-aventis and its officers, directors, agents, affiliates and their respective employees and representatives from and against any and all Third Party Losses that arise out of or are attributable to (a) any claim by a Third Party that the use by sanofi-aventis of the Horizon IP to perform the obligations of sanofi-aventis under this Agreement in compliance with the terms of this Agreement or as directed by Horizon, including, without limitation, the manufacture or testing of the Products, infringes its intellectual property rights; (b) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by Horizon hereunder; (c) any claim by a Third Party with respect to the development, testing, use, marketing, distribution, importation, sale or offer for sale of the Product by or on behalf of Horizon (including, without limitation, product liability claims), subject to Article 16, where applicable, or (d) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Horizon or any person whose actions or omissions Horizon is legally liable for, except, in each of (a), (b), (c), or (d), to the extent that such Losses are indemnified by sanofi-aventis pursuant to Section 17.1.
If a Party becomes aware of any claim or allegation by any Third Party that the performance of any services contemplated by this Agreement infringe such Third Party’s intellectual property rights, it shall promptly inform the other Party, and the Parties shall discuss such matter and a proposed resolution. Either Party may, following such discussion, delay performance of its obligations hereunder pursuant to the force majeure provision in Section 22 pending satisfactory resolution of such matter or terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party, provided that neither party shall be permitted to terminate this Agreement as set forth in this sentence in the event it or the other party promptly resolves the matter pursuant to one of the following two sentences. If the use of the Horizon IP in the manufacture or testing of the Product pursuant to this Agreement becomes, or in Horizon’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of an action by a Third Party alleging infringement of such Third Party’s intellectual property rights, Horizon may, at Horizon’s sole election and expense, either (a) procure, in form and manner satisfactory to sanofi-aventis , the right to continue using the relevant Horizon IP to permit sanofi-aventis to perform its obligations under this Agreement without infringing such rights, or (b) replace or modify the Horizon IP or the process for manufacturing or testing the Product with non-infringing intellectual property. If the use of the SAUS IP in the manufacture
| MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT | PAGE | 25 |
or testing of the Product pursuant to this Agreement becomes, or in sanofi-aventis’ opinion is likely to become, the subject of an action by a Third Party alleging infringement of such Third Party’s intellectual property rights, sanofi-aventis may, at sanofi-aventis’ sole election and expense, either (a) procure, in form and manner satisfactory to Horizon, the right to continue using the relevant the SAUS IP to permit sanofi-aventis to perform its obligations under this Agreement without infringing such rights, or (b) replace or modify the SAUS IP with non-infringing intellectual property.
17.3 Procedure
If any Third Party notifies a Party or any of its officers, agents or Affiliates, or their respective employees or representatives (an “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) that may give rise to a claim against the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article, then the Indemnified Party will promptly give written notice to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation under this Article, except to the extent such delay actually prejudices the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim, at its sole expense, with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party gives written notice to the Indemnified Party of its assumption of responsibility for any Losses arising out of such Third Party Claim and its assumption of control and defense of the Third Party Claim within […***…] days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that such Indemnifying Party has and will have adequate financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Third Party Claim does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party (provided, however, that to the extent that sanofi-aventis has sought indemnification from Horizon regarding a Third Party Claim that the Horizon IP infringes the intellectual property rights of a Third Party, Horizon shall have the right to defend such Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to sanofi-aventis and, provided further that to the extent that Horizon has sought indemnification from sanofi-aventis regarding a Third Party Claim that the SAUS IP infringes the intellectual property rights of a Third Party, sanofi-aventis shall have the right to defend such Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to Horizon), (iv) the Third Party Claim does not relate to or otherwise arise in connection with any criminal or regulatory enforcement action, and (v) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently. The Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its own cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party unless such judgment, compromise or settlement (a) provides for the payment by the Indemnifying Party of money as sole relief for the claimant, and (b) results in the full and general release of the Indemnified Party from all liabilities arising or relating to, or in connection with, the Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party is expressly prohibited from consenting to the entry of any judgment or entering into any compromise or settlement that (1) involves a finding or admission of any violation of legal requirements or the
| ***Confidential Treatment Requested | ||||||||
| MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT | PAGE | 26 | ||||||
rights of any Third Party by the Indemnified Party or (2) grants an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, and any such purported consent, compromise or settlement entered into without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party shall be null and void ab initio. The Indemnified Party may not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to a Third Party Claim with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.
If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the control and defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Indemnified Party may defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification hereunder from the Indemnifying Party for any Losses associated therewith after […***…] business days’ notice to the Indemnifying Party of its intent to do so. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall at all times use reasonable efforts to keep the other reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any Third Party Claim and to cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such matter, and provide the non-defending party with copies of all correspondence and documents relating to or in connection with a Third Party Claim.
17.4 Disclaimer of Warranties
EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES IN THIS AGREEMENT NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE PRODUCT, INFORMATION, MATERIALS OR EQUIPMENT PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
17.5 Damages
NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE BY REASON OF ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, CONDITION OR OTHER TERM OR ANY DUTY OF COMMON LAW, OR UNDER THE EXPRESS TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE LOSS OR DAMAGE, WHETHER FOR LOSS OF CURRENT OR FUTURE PROFITS, LOSS OF ENTERPRISE VALUE OR OTHERWISE AND WHETHER OCCASIONED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL ACTS OF THE RESPECTIVE PARTIES, THEIR EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE LOSS OR DAMAGE SHALL BE PAYABLE TO A THIRD PARTY; PROVIDED THAT, THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 17.5 ON CLAIMS FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES (BUT NOT PUNITIVE DAMAGES) SHALL NOT APPLY TO LOSSES SUSTAINED AS A RESULT OF BREACH OF THE CONFIDENTIALITY PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 10.
17.6 Limitation
| ***Confidential Treatment Requested | ||||||||
| MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT | PAGE | 27 | ||||||
IN NO EVENT SHALL SANOFI-AVENTIS’ TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED, ON A CUMULATIVE BASIS, […***…], REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION UPON WHICH SUCH CLAIM IS BASED. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL PERMIT ANY PARTY TO RECOVER TWICE FOR THE SAME LOSS.
ARTICLE 18
INSURANCE
Each Party represents that it has and shall maintain during the Term hereof, as well as after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, sufficient insurance or an appropriate program of self insurance, and in particular products liability insurance, with appropriate policy limits to cover all risks associated with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Each Party agrees to provide upon request copies of the relevant certificate(s) of insurance.
ARTICLE 19
Intentionally omitted.
ARTICLE 20
BOOKS AND RECORDS
Each Party shall maintain and retain for three (3) years following the end of the applicable Contract Year (or such longer period as may be required by law) true and accurate books and records relating to its charges under this Agreement, including in the case of sanofi-aventis its Acquisition Costs and all adjustments made pursuant to Article 5 or 9, and all other costs incurred in connection herewith. Each Party may request documentation necessary for the purpose of resolving disputes regarding payments, pricing, invoicing, or similar matters, provided that such requests shall be made no more than once each Contract Year. The other Party shall provide the requested information within […***…] days from receipt of such request. If the requesting Party, in its sole discretion, has not received sufficient information for resolving disputed payment, pricing or invoice, or similar matters, the requesting Party, through its independent accounting firm, may audit the books and records of the other Party. The review and report of any such designated independent accounting firm shall be restricted to those records reasonably necessary to the enforcement by the requesting Party of its rights hereunder. Such review and report shall be made with due regard to any information which is competitively sensitive, and the independent accounting firm shall not disclose to the requesting Party any information that would reasonably deemed to be competitively sensitive. Prior to the beginning of any such audit, the independent accounting firm and the other Party shall establish procedures reasonably designed to protect sensitive information from disclosure. The foregoing record keeping and review provisions shall be in addition to and distinct from the record keeping and review provisions of the Quality Agreement. The Party requesting an audit will be responsible for paying for said audit, unless such audit discloses an overpayment of more than […***…]% for a given quarter, in which case, the audited Party shall bear the full cost of such audit.
| ***Confidential Treatment Requested | ||||||||
| MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT | PAGE | 28 | ||||||
ARTICLE 21
COOPERATION WITH GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
The Parties shall cooperate with one another as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to satisfy all governmental requirements and obtain all needed permits, approvals and licenses with respect to the manufacture, storage, packaging and sale of the Product. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation, communicating with regulatory authorities and making available as promptly as practicable all information, documents and other materials which result from the performance by sanofi-aventis of its services hereunder which Horizon is required to submit or which Horizon may otherwise reasonably request in connection with governmental filings relating to the Product. The costs and expenses of such cooperation, if applicable, shall be subject to the Parties’ mutual written agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be the responsibility of (i) Horizon to obtain and maintain all such permits, approvals and licenses which are specific to the Product, and (ii) sanofi-aventis to obtain and maintain all such permits, approvals and licenses which are generally required for the Production Site.
ARTICLE 22
FORCE MAJEURE
22.1 Effects of Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any of its obligations under this Agreement (other than the payment of money owed hereunder) to the extent that such failure or delay results from any cause beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, fire, flood, natural disaster, explosion, war, strike, labor unrest, riot, embargo, acts or omissions of carriers, or act of God (each, a “Force Majeure Event”). Such excuse shall continue as long as the Force Majeure Event continues, following which such Party shall promptly resume performance hereunder, provided that the affected Party makes good faith efforts to avoid the effects of such condition and to perform if possible.
22.2 Effects of Regulatory Changes. Neither Party shall be held responsible or liable for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such failure or delay results from good faith efforts to comply with the enactment or revision of any law, rule, regulation or regulatory advisory opinion or order applicable to the manufacturing, marketing, sale, reimbursement and/or pricing of the Product (a “Regulatory Change”). Such excuse shall continue as long as performance is prevented by the Regulatory Change, provided that the affected Party makes good faith efforts to comply with such Regulatory Change, following which such Party shall promptly resume performance hereunder.
22.3 Notice. The Party affected by a Force Majeure Event or a Regulatory Change shall notify the other Party thereof as promptly as practicable after its occurrence. Such notice shall describe the nature of such Force Majeure Event or Regulatory Change and the extent and expected duration of the affected Party’s inability to fully perform its obligations hereunder. The affected Party shall use due diligence, where practicable, to minimize the effects of or end any such event so as to facilitate the resumption of full performance hereunder and shall notify the
| MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT | PAGE | 29 |
other Party when it is again fully able to perform such obligations.
ARTICLE 23
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS
The relationship between Horizon and sanofi-aventis is that of independent contractors and nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute the relationship of partners, joint venturers, nor of principal and agent between Horizon and sanofi-aventis. Neither Party shall have any express or implied right or authority to assume or create any obligations on behalf of or in the name of the other Party or to bind the other Party to any contract, agreement or undertaking with any Third Party.
ARTICLE 24
FURTHER ACTIONS
24.1 General. The Parties agree to execute such additional documents and to perform all such other and further acts as may be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes and intents of this Agreement.
24.2 Transfer of Manufacturing. In the event sanofi-aventis experiences a material change in its operations, including but not limited to a discontinuation of operations at a Production Site, a shift in manufacturing operations for its own products at the Production Site which limits its capacity to manufacture products for other parties, or otherwise changes strategic direction, and such change in sanofi-aventis’ sole judgment will render it unable to provide services at a Production Site, then sanofi-aventis shall immediately notify Horizon and take all commercially reasonable measures necessary to either change the Production Site to another facility of one of its Affiliates with similar capabilities or subcontract the services, in each case at sanofi-aventis’ expense (including, without limitation, any expense relating to technology transfer, excess shipping costs and tariffs related to finished bulk product including transfer, installation and validation of any Horizon Equipment or sanofi-aventis Equipment to another facility); provided, however, that (a) sanofi-aventis shall not change a Production Site or otherwise subcontract the services without the prior written approval of Horizon as set forth in this Agreement, not to be unreasonably withheld, and (b) until such time as the Parties otherwise agree, sanofi-aventis shall continue to be responsible for performing all obligations set forth in this Agreement at the current Production Site(s) and at the current Product Prices. If no such alternative is available, and the Parties cannot come to an alternative arrangement in good faith negotiations and consultations (for a period not to exceed […***…] days from the notice), then either Party may terminate this agreement by sending a further notice of no less than […***…] days. During this notice period, Horizon shall be able to increase its forecast, subject to then-applicable capacity limits of Production Site(s), in order to build up an adequate inventory of Product to meet its demand pending a shift in regulatory approval to its alternative manufacturing site or order such additional required Products from a third party contract manufacturer. Sanofi-aventis shall provide all reasonable assistance at it’s expense to assist Horizon with obtaining regulatory authorizations resulting from a change in a Production Site or in transitioning manufacture of the Product to a Third Party, at sanofi-aventis’ expense (including, without limitation, any expense relating to technology transfer, including transfer,
| ***Confidential Treatment Requested | ||||||||
| MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT | PAGE | 30 | ||||||
installation and validation of any Horizon Equipment or sanofi-aventis Equipment).
24.3 Qualification of an Affiliate facility. If capacities warrant the qualification of an alternate Affiliate facility, sanofi-aventis will notify Horizon regarding a needed change to the manufacturing strategy. Horizon has the right to approve the facility, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
ARTICLE 25

After four intense and rewarding years there, I left to become General Counsel and VP of an incredible, industry-changing start-up called Urban Mining Company (UMC) that manufactures rare earth permanent magnets. I now work for Phocus Law where I help run our practice focused on entrepreneurs, startups, and SMEs. I love what I do, and I'd love to be of help! My focus is on providing stress-free, enjoyable, and high-quality legal service to all of my clients. Being a good lawyer isn't enough: the client experience should also be great. But work isn't everything, and I love my free time. I've been an avid traveler since my parents put me on a plane to Italy at 9-months old. I'm also a music nut, and am still looking for that perfect client that will engage me to explain why Dark Side Of The Moon is the greatest album of all time. Having grown up in a remote, and gorgeous corner of Australia, I feel a strong connection to nature, and love being in the elements.
