and
ELI LILLY DEUTSCHLAND GmbH, Teichweg 3, D-35396 Giessen, Germany
("LILLY")
WHEREAS:
In previous discussions between the parties, each party indicated that it
desired to enter into an Agreement by which LILLY would render certain services
with respect to the distribution within the European Union and certain other
countries of IMMU's product, LeukoScan(R) (hereinafter referred to as the
"Product"), including without limitation, importation of the Product, storage
and inventory management of the Product, label and package insert printing and
label placement for the Product, packaging into individual boxes, picking,
packing and shipping of the Product to end users and preparation of IMMU
invoices for the shipments. Accordingly, there follows the mutual understanding
between IMMU and LILLY as to the terms and conditions applicable to this
Agreement.
NOW IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
1. Import of the Product into the European Union
1.1 The Product is manufactured in the United States of America.
IMMU warrants that the Product has the necessary regulatory
1
and legal approvals for the export thereof out of the US with import,
sale, and distribution to countries in the European Union and any other
country in which the Product shall be sold. IMMU has the responsibility
to maintain these approvals. If for whatever reason, LILLY is required
to receive regulatory and legal approvals for the Product for the
activities covered in this Agreement, IMMU will provide LILLY with the
information necessary to secure such approvals.
1.2 The port of arrival of the Product is LILLY, Giessen, Germany.
1.3 IMMU shall arrange for transport of the Product (contained in
glass vials) to the port of arrival in accordance with the relevant
instructions given by LILLY with respect to the addressing of the
shipment, proper labeling in accordance with international regulations,
and the contents of the necessary documentation. Cost for transport and
insurance fees covering damage and loss of the Product to the port of
arrival shall be for the account of IMMU.
1.4 Product delivered to LILLY by IMMU hereunder for storage, labeling,
packaging and distribution will remain at all times under and subject
to the ownership, direction and control of IMMU until sold to the end
users. Title to the Product distributed by LILLY will pass directly
from IMMU to the end users who purchase the Product from IMMU. IMMU
shall bear the risk of loss of the Product not yet delivered by LILLY
to a customer, whether by fire, theft, or other casualty; provided,
however, that LILLY shall promptly reimburse IMMU [*] for each
2
vial of the Product which is lost or damaged as a result of
LILLY's negligence.
1.5 LILLY shall take all reasonable steps to clear the Product through
Customs. All clearance fees and levied import duties and taxes, if
charged to LILLY as importer of the Product, are for the account of
IMMU and will be reimbursed by IMMU upon LILLY's presentation of the
corresponding invoices and/or charge notes.
2. Quality Control of the Product
2.1 IMMU warrants to LILLY that each lot of Product imported into the
European Union (and into those countries outside of the European Union
to which IMMU requests LILLY to deliver the Product) shall satisfy, at
the time of importation, all quality criteria set forth in its Summary
of Product Characteristics. Promptly following arrival of each shipment
of the Product, LILLY shall conduct all necessary quality control
inspections, according to procedures and specifications agreed with
IMMU, including without limitation, labeling, documentation, visual
inspection of each lot of the Product for external container or other
damage or loss, and inspection of the temperature recorder data
accompanying such shipment to determine that the Product was not
exposed to temperatures outside of the acceptable range defined by IMMU
during the transport thereof to the port of arrival. LILLY shall report
any such damage or loss to IMMU promptly. IMMU
3
will promptly notify LILLY of any change made in quality criteria and
in quality control procedures and specifications which is relevant to
the activities and services provided by LILLY pursuant to this
Agreement.
2.2 IMMU warrants to LILLY that the packing and storage conditions required
for the Product, either in transit or during warehouse storage, are
such that the Product will continue to satisfy all quality
specifications as defined in the Summary of Product Characteristics
during the entire period of storage until a predetermined expiration
date, provided LILLY stores and ships the Product in accordance with
approved procedures.
2.3 To enable LILLY to perform its packaging and distribution function for
the Product, IMMU shall provide LILLY with those details relating to
the Product as are required by the European Union or applicable
national regulations. If required by competent authorities, IMMU shall
authorize qualified LILLY representatives (Manufacturing and/or Quality
Control) (collectively, "LILLY Representatives") to inspect the Product
facility and its operational procedures. This inspection does not imply
that IMMU has any obligation to reveal its trade secrets with respect
to the essential steps of manufacturing the Product. IMMU shall provide
LILLY with all information relevant to the release of each lot of
Product, including (but not limited to) the relevant Certificate of
Analysis for the Product provided by a European Union-qualified
laboratory. LILLY grants the right to IMMU to
4
inspect LILLY's labeling, packaging, storage and shipping
facilities.
2.4 IMMU shall perform or shall have performed on all lots of Product
imported, all relevant tests required by European Union regulations, or
by the applicable national law of countries outside the European Union.
Such tests as IMMU is unable to perform itself will be executed by a
qualified third party laboratory within the European Union. No lot of
Product shall be shipped by IMMU to LILLY until the third party
laboratory shall have certified that the sample batch therefrom shall
have satisfied all required tests.
2.5 IMMU will indicate clearly in all its correspondence, documents and
product labels the item number, product name, lot number(s),
manufacturing date(s) and expiry date(s) of each shipment of Product.
2.6 Any information IMMU possesses or receives which casts doubt on the
usability of the Product, or a specific lot of the Product, shall be
promptly shared with an authorized representative of LILLY and in
consultation between IMMU and LILLY all the necessary decisions and
steps will be made and taken to control further distribution of the
Product or specific lot of the Product in question. LILLY will provide
IMMU with all necessary information and support to perform a recall, if
required. The final decision as to whether a recall is required, and
notification to end users, is the responsibility of IMMU. All costs
associated with such
5
actions shall be for the account of IMMU, unless such defect shall be
due to the fault or negligence of LILLY in performing its obligations
under this Agreement, in which event such costs shall be borne by
LILLY. The recalled and returned Product shall be kept available to
IMMU to be treated in the way IMMU deems fit. IMMU cannot direct return
of whatever number of vials of the recalled material LILLY is required
by applicable law to retain.
2.7 LILLY Representatives will release the finished lots according to
current LILLY procedures and based on (but not limited to) the relevant
Certificate of Analysis provided by the authorized European
Union-qualified laboratory. If a deviation which might affect the
quality of the Product occurs, LILLY will consult with IMMU for
finished lot approval.
2.8 IMMU shall provide LILLY with all necessary information about the
Product, including but not limited to, safety data, in order to enable
the appropriate and safe handling of the Product by LILLY.
3. Storage of the Product and Inventory Management 3.1 Storage and
shipping conditions for the Product have been defined by IMMU. LILLY
has determined that these conditions can be met. IMMU shall have the
right to inspect LILLY's facilities to verify LILLY's ability to
comply therewith.
3.2 The Product shall be stored by LILLY in a chill room between 2(degree)
and 8(degree)C according to the relevant conditions as specified
6
by IMMU. LILLY shall at all times reserve sufficient capacity to
satisfy IMMU's reasonable needs. LILLY shall maintain temperature
recorder charts and similar materials, reviewed and approved by LILLY,
to evidence actual storage conditions.
3.3 LILLY shall exercise all reasonable care as is usual in the industry
for similar categories of product during the handling of the Product
before and while in storage and during order picking, packing and
shipping actions, and warrants that its personnel is able to exercise
such reasonable care by experience and proper training. LILLY shall
maintain adequate insurance coverage acceptable to IMMU for the storage
of the Product under the terms of this Agreement.
3.4 LILLY will maintain records showing the quantity of each lot of Product
received, labeled, packaged, shipped to users, and still available for
distribution. LILLY will inform IMMU weekly concerning the quantity of
the Product on hand. When an agreed minimum level of stock is reached,
LILLY will inform IMMU accordingly, and IMMU will take all necessary
action to replenish the stock to a level deemed appropriate by IMMU.
3.5 LILLY will distribute Product with the earliest expiry date first,
unless otherwise directed by IMMU. No delivery to end users will take
place after the expiration date of any lot of Product or after any date
prior to that expiration date determined by IMMU and communicated to
LILLY in writing.
3.6 IMMU will be responsible for directing end users regarding
return of the Product. Product for whatever reason returned
7
will not be returned to saleable inventory unless agreed to by IMMU and
promptly communicated to LILLY. Disposition of returned Product that is
not returned to inventory shall be determined by IMMU and communicated
to LILLY within 30 days. IMMU will reimburse LILLY for the costs
associated with this disposition.
3.7 LILLY will timely and regularly advise IMMU of the number of vials of
the Product and their respective lot numbers of any expired Product and
shall keep such Product at IMMU's disposal until one month after its
expiration date. After that date, unless IMMU advises LILLY that it
expects to be able to extend the expiration date, IMMU shall determine
the manner of disposition of such expired Product, which shall be at
the expense of IMMU.
3.8 LILLY will hold the necessary resources available for inspections by
the competent authorities of its premises and procedures relating to
the Product. LILLY will assist in a manner consistent with practices in
the industry to obtain satisfactory results of such inspections.
4. Package Development and Packaging of the Product 4.1 LILLY will
manage the development of packaging materials (including labels and
package leaflets) with IMMU. IMMU will provide LILLY with an approved
packaging file for each packaging presentation that LILLY will be
responsible for managing. LILLY will develop and coordinate the
creation of packaging materials according to these approved files.
8
LILLY bears the responsibility for any inconsistencies in packaging
materials vis-a-vis the approved packaging files. LILLY will provide
specimens of packaging materials to IMMU promptly upon preparation.
4.2 LILLY shall maintain a sufficient inventory of labelling/packaging
materials.
4.3 IMMU will communicate to LILLY changes to the approved packaging in a
timely manner and provide an update to the approved packaging file for

coordinate the introduction of the changed packaging materials into the
market. IMMU will reimburse LILLY for the costs associated with the
development of changed packaging materials and for the losses
associated with the destruction of outdated packaging materials.
4.4 LILLY will label the vials and assemble the final Product package
according the approved Product packaging file and in accordance with
internal LILLY procedures for the GMP packaging of pharmaceutical
products.
4.5 Upon request, LILLY will provide IMMU copies of internal LILLY
procedures and records related to the packaging and distribution of the
Product.
4.6 IMMU hereby grants LILLY the non-exclusive right during the term of
this Agreement to use the Immunomedics logo and the mark
"Immunomedics", in addition to its right to use the trademark
LeukoScan(R) or such other mark(s) as IMMU shall cause to be registered
for the Product (together with the marks for
9
any other products of IMMU which are included in this Agreement
pursuant to Section 10) (collectively the "Marks") in the European
Union and such other countries in which LILLY shall distribute the
Product in connection with, and confined to the purpose of, the
distribution of the Product. LILLY shall use the Marks on labeling,
packaging and package inserts for the Product, and in all literature
related thereto, and LILLY shall not use any other trademarks or logos
on any labeling, packaging, package inserts or literature relating to
the Product. LILLY shall comply with and observe the reasonable
requirements of IMMU relating to (a) the marking of the Product and/or
its label, packaging, package insert or other printed materials
pursuant to any and all applicable patent laws to indicate that letters
patent have been applied for or granted in one or more countries and
(b) the use of the Marks in conformity with applicable trademark laws.
Prior to its use, LILLY shall submit all such labeling, packaging,
package inserts and related literature to IMMU for its approval of the
use of such Marks. LILLY acknowledges that the Marks are and shall
remain the property of IMMU, and LILLY disclaims any rights to such
Marks other than the rights granted by this Section. LILLY shall not
use the Marks or any other IMMU trademark, trade or brand name for any
purpose other than as provided in this Section.
5. Orders for the Product.
10
5.1 The Product will be offered for sale by IMMU in countries of the
European Union and in such other countries as IMMU determines in its
sole discretion. IMMU warrants that the Product is or will be properly
approved for sale in each of the countries in which it is offered.

or other disturbances in the communication channels beyond LILLY's
normal control.

Agreement, the Product will be supplied to the end users by the
application of LILLY's standard routines, procedures, modes of

9. Service Fee; Start-up Costs
9.1 Upon execution of this Agreement, IMMU shall advance to LILLY [*] to
cover LILLY's start-up expenses including those associated with
packaging development and systems-related activities. If this advance
payment is not adequate to cover
13
all such expenses, then LILLY, promptly after the third month of its
distribution of the Product, shall present to IMMU adequate proofs of
its start-up expenses, and IMMU shall reimburse LILLY for up to an
additional [*] evidenced thereby, for a maximum aggregate amount
thereof (including the initial advance) of [*].
9.2 IMMU shall pay LILLY a service fee, in the manner provided in Section
9.6, for the services rendered under this Agreement (the "Service
Fee"). The Service Fee shall consist of a Product Packaging Fee (which
shall be LILLY's compensation for all services rendered and materials
required in connection with the importation, storage, inventory
management, labeling and packaging of the Product) and a Shipment Fee
(which shall be LILLY's compensation for all services rendered and
materials required in connection with the filling and shipment of each
order of the Product (including invoicing thereof) to the end user).
9.3 The Product Packaging Fee shall be based on the total number of vials
of the Product labeled and packaged annually by LILLY pursuant to
orders transmitted by IMMU to LILLY therefor. For the first [*] vials
labeled and packaged in a twelve month period, the Product Packaging
Fee shall be [*] per vial. For the next [*] vials labeled and packaged
in that twelve month period, the Product Packaging Fee shall be [*] per
vial. For each additional vial above [*] vials labeled and packaged
14
during that twelve month period, a Product Packaging Fee of [*] shall
be due.
9.4 The Shipment Fee shall be [*] for each order shipped to an end user.
9.5 Freight costs will be negotiated by LILLY and subject to IMMU's
approval. Freight costs will be added to the end user's invoice. LILLY

9.6 The Service Fee shall be payable as follows:
(a) At the end of each month during the Term, IMMU shall pay
LILLY, as a downpayment on the Product Packaging Fee and the Shipment
Fee, a Monthly Service Fee of [*] provided that (in consideration of
the payment made by IMMU to Lilly pursuant to Section 9.1) no Monthly
Service Fee shall be payable in respect of the first three months of
distribution of the Product pursuant to this Agreement, but such
payments shall be deemed to have been made for purposes of paragraph
(b) below.
(b) Promptly following the end of the twelfth month of
distribution of the Product by LILLY, and following the end of each
twelve month period thereafter, the parties shall calculate the amount
of the Product Packaging Fee and the Shipment Fee actually due as
provided in Sections 9.3 and 9.4 in respect of such services rendered
during the twelve months then ended. If the amount of the Service Fee
thus calculated exceeds the aggregate Monthly Service Fee payments
previously
15
made or deemed made ([*] in the first year), IMMU shall remit the
amount of such excess to LILLY within 30 days of receiving LILLY's
invoice therefor.
(c) The parties agree that following the initial calculation
under paragraph (b) above, and at the end of each annual period
thereafter, they will reevaluate the fairness and adequacy of the
Monthly Service Fee, the Product Packaging Fee and the Shipment
Fee with a view to making such adjustments thereto as shall be
mutually acceptable.

10.1 At the request of IMMU, Lilly shall also provide all of the services
required of it hereunder for the importation, storage, labeling,
packaging and distribution of CEA-Scan(R), an additional product of
IMMU, and the term "Product" shall then include both LeukoScan(R)
and CEA-Scan(R). In such event, the Product Packaging Fee computation
to be made under Section 9.3 shall include the total number of vials of
LeukoScan(R) and CEA- Scan(R), taken together, labeled and packaged by
Lilly. It is also the intention of the parties that other products of
IMMU can be added to this Agreement in the same manner when approved
for sale in which event the term "Product" would then also include
such other products.

licenses, patents, patent applications, technology or processes and
business plans of the other party, including, without limitation,
information designated as confidential in writing from one party to the

as permitted by this Agreement or disclose the same to anyone other
than those of its officers, directors or employees as are necessary in
connection with such party's activities as contemplated by this
Agreement. Each party shall use the same efforts such party would use

unauthorized use of such Confidential Information. Each party shall
notify the other promptly upon discovery of any unauthorized use or
disclosure of the other's Confidential Information.
