The parties shall sign the meeting minutes to confirm their respective agreements, commitments, approvals, and obligations related to specific items or issues.
2.5 Exclusivity.
(a)During the Initial Term and any extension(s) of the term of this Agreement by mutual written agreement, Alexza shall not, either alone or with or through any Affiliate or Third Party, manufacture, have manufactured or purchase Chemical Heat Packages from any Third Party, provided that Autoliv has not materially breached any term or condition of this Agreement, including the requirement that the Chemical Heat Packages conform to the Specifications and the quality conditions set forth in the Quality Terms. Autoliv agrees that Alexza shall not be in breach of the foregoing sentence if Alexza (i) Alexza engages a Third Party manufacturer to manufacture and test Chemical Heat Packages, so long as such Third Party manufacturer does not sell Chemical Heat Packages to Alexza during the exclusivity period set forth in the preceding sentence, or (ii) discloses Autoliv IP, Joint IP or Intellectual Property rights owned by Autoliv pursuant to the Development Agreement (“Development IP”) to a Third Party manufacturer that is reasonably necessary for such Third Party to manufacture and test the Chemical Heat Packages, so long as such Third Party Manufacturer agrees not to exploit the Autoliv IP, Joint IP or Development IP outside the Healthcare Field or in any other way inconsistent with this Agreement
(b)During the Initial Term and any extension(s) of the term of this Agreement by mutual written agreement, provided that Alexza has not materially breached any term or condition of this Agreement, Autoliv shall not, either alone or with or through any Affiliate or Third Party, manufacture or commercialize Chemical Heat Packages (except for Autoliv’s manufacture, assembly and testing of Chemical Heat Packages for sale to Alexza pursuant to this Agreement) or any other device or component for use in the Healthcare Field that utilizes any Alexza IP, as defined in this Agreement, unless Alexza provides prior written consent for such activities.

Prior to engaging a Third Party to assist Alexza in the commercial manufacture of a Second Generation Package, Alexza shall notify Autoliv in writing and offer Autoliv the opportunity to negotiate the terms and conditions of a separate agreement (the “Second Generation Agreement”) whereby Autoliv would supply such Second Generation Package. If Autoliv notifies Alexza in writing within thirty (30) days of Alexza’s notice that Autoliv is interested in commercially supplying such Second Generation Package, the parties shall promptly initiate good faith negotiations regarding the terms and conditions of the Second
[ * ]= | Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
Generation Agreement with the goal of entering into the Second Generation Agreement within ninety (90) days of Autoliv’s notice. If the parties fail to agree on the terms for the Second Generation Agreement, Alexza may execute an agreement with a Third Party to commercially manufacture the Second Generation Package and Alexza shall make the payments set forth in Section 5.6(a). For clarity, this Section 2.6 does not apply to or affect Alexza’s right to manufacture for itself any and all Second Generation Packages.

Chemical Heat Package Forecasting and Ordering
3.1 Purchase Right.Autoliv agrees to sell and Alexza agrees to purchase the Chemical Heat Packages in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
3.2 Strategic Forecast. On a quarterly basis, Alexza shall provide Autoliv with a written rolling forecast of Alexza’s anticipated need for Chemical Heat Packages for each calendar quarter during the following three (3) calendar years (“Strategic Forecast”). The Strategic Forecast is not binding on Alexza and is provided by Alexza solely for capacity planning purposes. However, to the extent Autoliv must order or commit to long-lead time materials, equipment, tooling or components in order to have the ability to supply to Alexza the number of Chemical Heat Packages specified in the Strategic Forecast, Alexza shall reimburse Autoliv, on the timetable agreed upon by the parties when the items are determined to be unused, for any such unused materials, equipment, tooling or components, provided that (a) Alexza approved the purchase thereof in writing (which approval may be in meeting minutes signed by Alexza) and (b) on account of Alexza’s commitments in Section 5.4, Alexza shall not have any obligation pursuant to this Section 3.2 to reimburse Autoliv for equipment and tooling needed to supply up to ten million (10,000,000) Chemical Heat Packages per year. Upon reimbursement by Alexza to Autoliv pursuant to this Section 3.2, Autoliv shall transfer to Alexza sole ownership of all such materials, equipment, tooling or components.
3.3 Annual Purchase Order. At least thirty (30) days before the beginning of each calendar year, Alexza shall provide Autoliv with a written purchase order (“Annual Purchase Order”) that specifies (i) the number of units of Chemical Heat Packages Alexza will purchase from Autoliv during such calendar year; (ii) the fixed unit purchase price for such Chemical Heat Packages as set forth onExhibit C; (iii) the billing and ship-to addresses; and (iv) any special instructions or other pertinent requirements. Alexza may update the billing and ship-to addresses during the course of such year by written notice to Autoliv. Autoliv must accept or reject each Annual Purchase Order within thirty (30) days after the receipt thereof, provided that it may not reject any Annual Purchase Order unless (a) such Annual Purchase Order does not comply with the terms set forth in subsections (i)-(iii) of this Section 3.3, or (b) the quantity ordered on such Annual Purchase Order is a material increase over the quantities set forth for such calendar year in the then-current Strategic Forecast. Upon Autoliv’s acceptance, each Annual Purchase Order shall be binding on the parties, provided that Alexza is not obligated to accept more than 80% of the quantity specified on such Annual Purchase Order.
3.4 Build Forecast. On a weekly basis, Alexza shall provide Autoliv with a written or electronic rolling forecast of Alexza’s anticipated weekly needs for Chemical Heat Packages for the following thirteen (13) weeks (“Build Forecast”). The Build Forecast shall be binding

Autoliv is responsible for reviewing completed manufacturing and testing records to ensure each lot of CPD Heat Packages has been manufactured and tested in accordance to the approved manufacturing instructions and that any deviations to the process have been thoroughly investigated. Autoliv is responsible for disposition of each lot of CPD Heat Packages prior to shipment to Alexza. Autoliv will generate a Certificate of Conformance (C of C) for each lot and the C of C will be provided to Alexza. The C of C will contain traceability to the lot and a compliance statement indicating the lot has been manufactured and tested according to the approved control plan(s) and meets all requirements of the product specification. Upon request, Alexza may request copies of the completed manufacturing records, test data, or other related records associated with the lot. | ||
14. | ACCEPTANCE | |
Alexza reserves the right to reject any product that is found not to be in conformance with the approved product specifications or found not to have been manufactured according to the approved control plan(s). | ||
15. | RECORDS RETENTION | |
All documentation (manufacturing records, packaging records, inspection records, batch tickets/card/records, and quality records, such as calibration logs, training records) generated during the manufacturing process will be maintained by Autoliv for a minimum of seven (7) years. Autoliv shall notify Alexza prior to destruction of any records related to the manufacture of device component and relevant quality system records and transfer such records to Alexza upon request. | ||
16. | FAILURE ANALYSIS | |
When requested by Alexza, Autoliv will perform a complete investigation on returned heat package(s) in a timely manner sufficient to determine the root cause of the abnormal condition.
