3. SALE AND PURCHASE OF THE PRODUCTS
     3.1 Supplier agrees to manufacture and sell the Products to Purchaser, and
Purchaser agrees to purchase its entire requirements of the Products from

provided that Supplier remains in compliance with its obligations hereunder.
     3.2 Supplier shall not make any product or process changes which would
cause a Product to deviate from the Specifications without the prior written
consent of Purchaser. Purchaser may request changes to the Specifications.
Supplier will consider such requests in good faith, and use reasonable efforts
to accommodate such requests, provided that Purchaser agrees to reimburse
Supplier for any additional costs and expenses to implement such Specification
change. If any change to the Specifications is required in order to comply with
any applicable law, rule or regulation or in response to an order by the Food
and Drug Administration or other applicable government entity, Supplier shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to implement such changes as soon as
possible; provided, that Purchaser agrees to reimburse Supplier for any
additional costs and expense to implement such Specification change.

Purchaser to the packaging and labeling of the Products.
     3.4 On a monthly basis, Purchaser shall deliver to Supplier a non-binding,

order received by Supplier in amounts which exceed the three-month binding
portion of forecasts provided by Purchaser to Supplier, or which call for a lead

Supplier’s aggregate costs of raw materials used to manufacture any of the
Products increase or decrease by more than ten percent (10%) in any six
(6) month period during the Term of this Agreement, the parties agree to discuss
whether there should be an adjustment to the price of affected Products and the

decrease hereunder (each a “New Price”), such New Price shall remain in full
force until such time as the parties agree to any further price adjustment in
accordance with this Section 4.1.

designs, ideas, formulas, data, techniques, blueprints, sketches, records,
notes, Artwork, trademarks and trade-names, drawings, shop drawings, technology,
information and other intellectual property, whether or not protected by
patents, that are provided by the Purchaser to the Supplier in order to
manufacture, label and package the Products (“Purchaser’s Intellectual
Property”). The packaging and labeling of the Products shall contain Purchaser’s
trademarks and trade names in accordance with the Specifications. Purchaser
hereby grants to Supplier during the Term a license to use Purchaser’s
Intellectual Property solely to the extent necessary to permit Supplier

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

to manufacture, label, package and supply Products to Purchaser in accordance
with the Specifications and the terms of this Agreement. Except as specifically
provided in the previous sentence, Supplier shall not obtain any rights in
Purchaser’s Intellectual Property. Except as specifically provided herein,
neither party shall use in any way, the trademarks or trade names of the other
party unless the other party first provides its written consent, and will not do
any act which could in any way infringe upon or be in derogation of the validity
of such other party’s trademarks or trade names.
     5.2 Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Supplier from and
against any damage, cost or expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees and
disbursements, arising out of any third party claim that (i) any Product
infringes on any valid U.S. patents, trademarks or copyrights, or (ii) any
trademarks or tradenames of Purchaser included on the labeling or packaging of
the Products infringes upon the trademarks or tradename of such third party. The
indemnification obligations set forth in this paragraph shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement.
     5.3 Purchaser shall own full right, title and interest in all inventions,
improvements and/or changes to the Products which are developed with or without
the input of the Purchaser during the Term, whether patentable or not, and
whether fully completed or not (the “Product Improvements”). Supplier agrees to
promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver all applications, oaths, declarations
and further documents as Purchaser deems necessary or desirable to evidence
Purchaser’s title to such Product Improvements, in each case at the expense of
Purchaser. Supplier shall own full right, title and interest in all inventions,
improvements, know-how and/or changes to the process by which the Products are
manufactured which are developed during the Term, whether patentable or not, and
whether fully completed or not (the “Process Improvements”). Purchaser agrees to
promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver all applications, oaths, declarations
and further documents as Supplier deems necessary or desirable to evidence
Supplier’s title to such Process Improvements, in each case at the expense of
Supplier.
6. CONFIDENTIALITY.
     6.1 Any information given by one party to another or acquired by a party in
the performance of its obligations hereunder or otherwise relating to the
Products or the Specifications or the intellectual property rights associated
therewith which is designated as confidential at the time of disclosure or which
a reasonable party receiving such information would assume was expected to be
kept confidential (“Confidential Information”) shall be maintained in confidence
by the receiving party and shall not be used or disclosed to a third party
except with the disclosing party’s prior written consent. The confidentiality
obligations in this Section shall not apply to Confidential Information which
(i) becomes public other than through the receiving party, (ii) is already known
to the receiving party as evidenced by its written records, (iii) becomes known
by the receiving party in the future from another source which is under no
obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party, or (iv) is subsequently

     6.2 Except as required by law (i.e., public company disclosure
requirements), (i) each party shall keep confidential, and not disclose to any
third party, the terms of this Agreement and (ii) neither party hereto shall
make, or permit any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents,
advisors, affiliates or representatives to make any press release, public
announcement or other public disclosure with respect to the existence of this
Agreement or the terms hereof without the prior consent of the other party
hereto. The sharing of Confidential Information between the parties confers no
rights on the receiving party to the ownership or use of any such information,
except for the right to use such information specifically in furtherance and
during the Term of this Agreement.
     6.3 Upon the request of a disclosing party, and in any event, upon
expiration or termination of this Agreement, the receiving party will return to
the disclosing party all documents, materials and other information containing
Confidential Information and will confirm the destruction of all copies of all
Confidential Information otherwise extracted therefrom in the possession or
control of the receiving party.
     6.4 In the event of a breach of the provisions of this Section by the
receiving party, or if the disclosing party believes that the receiving party
may so breach these provisions, the disclosing party may seek injunctive relief
from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent any further or anticipated
breach of these provisions. The parties agree that the state and federal courts
located in Hennepin County, Minnesota shall have personal jurisdiction of the
parties, and are deemed to be convenient forums, for this purpose.
     6.5 The obligations of Supplier and Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of
this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for a
period of three (3) years.
7. WARRANTIES
     7.1 Supplier warrants that the Products shall, at the time of shipment,

workmanship.

purchase price allocable to such Product or Products.
     7.3 Purchaser represents and warrants to Supplier that it will comply with
all present and future laws, rules and regulations relating to the sale of the
Products. Purchaser shall be responsible for securing any governmental or
regulatory approvals, at its own expense, necessary to be obtained by Purchaser

discharged, changed or modified in any manner except by instruments signed by
duly authorized representatives of each of the parties hereto. If any provision

shall be valid and enforceable to the extent permitted by applicable law. In

authority to incur, assume or create, in writing or otherwise, any warranty,
liability or other obligation of any kind, express or implied, in the name or on
behalf of other party, it being intended by Purchaser and Supplier that each
