2

this Supply Agreement through one or more Third Party subcontractors, provided that Rigel remains responsible for the work allocated to, and payment to, such subcontractors as it selects, to the same extent it would if it had done such work itself.  Notwithstanding the following Sections 2.2 and 2.3, the Parties agree that Kissei may amend Order Forecasts (as defined below) and Purchase Orders (as defined below) from time to time during the ** from the Effective Date with the prior mutual consent of the Parties via the JSC and Rigel shall supply the Product to Kissei in such agreed quantities.

2.2Order Forecasts.

(a)Rolling Forecast.  At least ** before the ** of each Calendar Quarter during the Term of this Supply Agreement, Kissei shall provide Rigel a rolling forecast of its monthly requirements for the quantity of Products to be used for (i) Development purposes for the following ** period commencing from such Calendar Quarter and (ii) Commercial use for the following ** period commencing from such Calendar Quarter (“Order Forecast”).  For clarity, each Order Forecast shall itemize the applicable quantity (i.e., the unit of Drum or naked bottle, but not limited to such unit) of the Product and its placebo (if applicable) for each of Development and Commercial use.  Each Order Forecast shall be made in good faith for budget and capacity planning purposes only and shall be non-binding on Kissei and Rigel, except as provided in Section 2.2(b).  The Parties shall discuss and review the Order Forecast at each regularly scheduled meeting of the JSC established by the Parties under the Collaboration and License Agreement (or by a subcommittee established by the JSC to oversee the manufacture and supply of the Product).  The Order Forecast will be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

(b)Binding Commitment.  The ** of each Order Forecast shall constitute a binding commitment for Kissei to purchase, pursuant to Section 2.3(a), ** of the quantities of the Product ** specified therein and Kissei shall be required to order such quantities pursuant to Section 2.3(a).  For clarity, the numbers set out in the following ** for the Development purpose and **for the Commercial use of the Order Forecast constitute the non-binding forecast of Kissei’s expected requirements.

2.3Purchase Orders; Delivery Terms.  

(a)Purchase Orders. On or before the ** of each Calendar Quarter during the Term of this Supply Agreement, Kissei shall submit to Rigel a binding purchase order (a “Purchase Order”) for the Product and its placebo (if applicable) to be delivered during the next Calendar Quarter of the most recent Order Forecast for Commercial use and/or Development use in quantities ** those set forth for such Calendar Quarter in the most recent Order Forecast.  The Purchase Order will be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. Rigel shall accept or reject each Purchase Order in writing within ** after its receipt of such Purchase Order; provided, however, that Rigel shall accept such Purchase Order if the quantities of the Product and its placebo (if applicable) ordered for each of Development and Commercial use in such Purchase Order are ** the quantities for such use set forth in the most recent Order Forecast, as applicable. The quantities of the Product and its placebo (if applicable) in the Purchase Order can only be changed if both Parties have agreed on such change in writing, provided that any changes are discussed and agreed upon at the JSC.

In the event Kissei desires to obtain quantities of the Product and its placebo (if applicable) in a particular Calendar Quarter in excess of the quantities specified in the Order Forecast after such forecast became binding, Kissei shall notify Rigel in writing and the Parties will discuss in good faith whether Rigel may be able to supply Kissei with such additional quantities, provided that Rigel shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to accept such order for such additional quantities, and provided further that Kissei shall be solely responsible for any additional cost incurred in supplying such additional quantities.  For clarity, Rigel shall not be obligated to accept any such order for additional quantities if accepting such order would result in or is reasonably likely to result in a Product and its placebo (if applicable) shortfall in the Rigel Territory.  

(c)Delivery and Shipping Terms.  Purchase Orders submitted for quantities of Product that are in accordance with Section 2.3(a) and/or Section 2.3(b) will be binding on both Parties after acceptance in writing by Rigel.  The Purchase Order will specify delivery dates for such order to be delivered in such Calendar Quarter, but will in no event be a date sooner than ** the Purchase Order date.  By way of example, a Purchase Order submitted on ** would specify the quantity of Product ordered for delivery in **, with a delivery date no sooner than **.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Rigel’s delivery schedule under this Supply Agreement shall be subject to any change in the delivery schedule under the supply agreements between Rigel and its contract manufacturers. The Parties agree to discuss in good faith any adjustment of the minimum delivery time of ** from Purchase Order submission if a Party deems such an adjustment necessary, provided, however, that both Parties shall discuss in good faith Kissei’s request

9.1Indemnification by Rigel.  Rigel hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Kissei and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (each, a “Kissei Indemnitee”) from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, and losses including any product liability, personal injury, property damage, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Losses”), to which any Kissei Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any claim, demand, action, or other proceeding by any Third Party to the extent such Losses arise out of or result from: (a) the negligence or willful misconduct of any Rigel Indemnitee, or (b) the breach by Rigel of any warranty, representation, covenant, or agreement made by Rigel in this Supply Agreement; except, in each case (a)-(b), to the extent such Losses arise out of any activities set forth in Section 9.2(a), (b), (c), or (d) for which Kissei is obligated to indemnify any Rigel Indemnitee(s) under Section 9.2.

9.2Indemnification by Kissei.  Kissei hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Rigel, its Affiliates, and licensees and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (each, a “Rigel Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses to which any Rigel Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any claim, demand, action, or other proceeding by any Third Party to the extent such Losses arise out of: (a) the negligence or willful misconduct of any Kissei Indemnitee, (b) the breach by Kissei of any warranty, representation, covenant, or agreement made by Kissei in this Supply Agreement, (c) the Finish Manufacture, export, import, storage, packaging, or labeling, by or on behalf of Kissei or its Affiliates or sublicensees, of any Product supplied by Rigel hereunder, or (d) the commercialization of any Product supplied by Rigel hereunder; except, in each case (a)-(d), to the extent such Losses arise out of any activities set forth in Section 9.1(a) or (b) for which Rigel is obligated to indemnify any Kissei Indemnitee(s) under Section 9.1.

9.3Indemnification Procedures.  A party that intends to claim indemnification under this Article 9 (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any Third Party claim, demand, action, or other proceeding (each, a “Claim”) in respect of which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification, and the Indemnitor shall have sole control of the defense or settlement thereof.  The Indemnitee may participate at its expense in the Indemnitor’s defense of and settlement negotiations for any Claim with counsel of the Indemnitee’s own choice.  The indemnity arrangement in this Article 9 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any action with respect to a Claim if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any action with respect to a Third Party Claim shall only relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations under this Article 9 if and to the extent the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced thereby.  The Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any action with respect to a Claim covered by this indemnification.

9.4Insurance.  Each Party, at its own expense, shall maintain insurance as set forth in Section 12.4 of

(a)in connection with the assignment of the Collaboration and License Agreement to a Third Party as set forth in Section 15.5 of the Collaboration and License Agreement; or

11.10No Waiver.  The failure of a Party to insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Supply Agreement or to exercise any right arising out of this Supply Agreement shall neither impair that provision or right nor constitute a waiver of that provision or right, in whole or in part, in that instance or in any other instance.  Any waiver by a Party of a particular provision or right shall be in writing, shall be as to a particular matter and, if applicable, for a particular period of time and shall be signed by such Party.
