This SUPPLY AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is effective December 22, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), by and between CyDex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation with principal offices at 11119 North Torrey Pines Road, Suite 200, La Jolla, California 92037 (“CYDEX”), and Gilead Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation with principal offices at 333 Lakeside Drive, Foster City, California 94404 (“Gilead”). CYDEX and Gilead are sometimes referred to individually as “Party” or collectively as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Gilead and its Affiliates (as defined below) wish to purchase the product listed on Exhibit A-1 to this Agreement from CYDEX (collectively, the “Product”), as such Exhibit A-1 may be amended from time to time in writing by the Parties; and
WHEREAS, CYDEX is ready, willing and able to supply Product to Gilead and Gilead’s Affiliates subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the covenants and other agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1.Purchase and Sale
(A)CYDEX agrees to sell Product to Gilead and its Affiliates based on orders placed under this Agreement pursuant to a Purchase Order (as defined below). In addition, CYDEX agrees to sell Product to Gilead’s Affiliates based on orders placed under this Agreement pursuant to a Purchase Order (as defined below); provided, that Gilead shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay for all Product purchased by its Affiliates and shall be responsible to CYDEX for any actions or inactions by an Affiliate which, if they had been done by Gilead, would constitute a breach of this Agreement. “Affiliate” means any (A) entity that, directly or indirectly, Controls, is Controlled by, or is under common Control with, Gilead and (B) any third party contract manufacturers of Gilead that may have purchase Product on Gilead’s behalf for the manufacture of the Licensed Products (as defined below). “Control” means (i) the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of an entity, whether by the ownership of stock, by contract, or otherwise, and/or (ii) ownership or direct or indirect control of at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of an entity. Gilead shall from time to time provide CYDEX a list of Gilead’s Affiliates; CYDEX shall have no obligation to deal with an Affiliate which is not included on the most recent such list.
(B)This Agreement and the Purchase Orders accepted under it comprise the Parties’ entire agreement and understanding with respect to Product. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any provision of the Purchase Order Terms and Conditions, 


    1






the provision of this Agreement shall control. For avoidance of doubt: the Parties confirm that the first sentence of Section 2 of the Purchase Order Terms and Conditions constitutes such a conflict. It is the Parties’ express intent that no other document may supplement or vary the terms hereof absent a written amendment duly executed by both Parties and expressly referencing this Agreement.
2.Supply
(A)Purchase Orders. Gilead or its Affiliates shall issue a Purchase Order for Product ordered under this Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Purchase Order”). CYDEX shall have three (3) business days after the date of receipt of a Purchase Order to either: (i) provide written notice of its acceptance; or (ii) present Gilead or its Affiliates with a Purchase Order for Gilead consideration and acceptance. CYDEX shall supply the Product to Gilead or its Affiliate in accordance with each Purchase Order and the terms of this Agreement, and shall cause each delivery to made strictly in accordance with the delivery dates and locations specified in the Purchase Order.
(B)Forecasting. On at least an annual basis during the Term, Gilead (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) shall provide to CYDEX a non-binding rolling forecast detailing the quantities for the delivery of Product for the next twelve (12) calendar months of the Term (each, a “Forecast”). Gilead shall have the right to update a Forecast at any time. CYDEX shall supply Product in a quantity up to a maximum of 150% of the quantity specified in the Forecast and shall utilize commercially reasonable efforts to supply such additional Product in excess of those quantities in the timeline requested by Gilead.
(C)Minimum Stock. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, CYDEX shall maintain a minimum stock of the Product at all times in order to satisfy the quantities set forth in Exhibit A-2.
(D)Delay and Shortfall. If delivery of any quantity of Product is delayed after CYDEX has accepted a Purchase Order, through no fault of Gilead and not due to a Force Majeure Event (as defined in Section 23), by more than thirty (30) days beyond the delivery date set forth in the Purchase Order (but subject to the delivery windows specified in Exhibit A-2), the quantity shall be considered a shortfall (“Shortfall”). Upon a Shortfall, or indication from CYDEX that a Shortfall is to occur, Gilead or its Affiliates shall have the right, in its discretion, to cancel the applicable Purchase Order without liability.
(E)Minimum Shelf Life. CYDEX warrants that the Product supplied by CYDEX at the time of delivery to Gilead shall have a minimum shelf life as set forth in Exhibit A-2. During such Product’s shelf life, the Product shall conform to the Specifications (as defined below) and be consistent with and in compliance with the Product Warranty (as defined below).
(F)Commercialization Rights. CYDEX hereby grants to Gilead a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license under CYDEX Intellectual Property to use and incorporate the Product in and sell (and have sold) any Licensed Product for any and all human diseases and conditions which are identified in Exhibit A-3 for such Licensed Product. No license is granted 




2







for making (or having made) the Product or for selling (or having sold) the Product other than for Licensed Products. For purposes of this Section, “CYDEX Intellectual Property” shall mean (i) any and all know-how owned or controlled by CYDEX that relates to the use of the Product, and (ii) any and all patents owned or controlled by CYDEX that claims the Product or use thereof. “Licensed Product” means a pharmaceutical composition comprising as the active pharmaceutical ingredient the compound identified in Exhibit A-3 (as such Exhibit A-3 may be amended from time to time in writing by the Parties) prepared or combined with or formulated using the Product. For avoidance of doubt: because only CYDEX-supplied material is “Product,” such a composition which is prepared or combined with or formulated using non-CYDEX-supplied cyclodextrin material is not a “Licensed Product.” Similarly, a pharmaceutical composition comprising as an active pharmaceutical ingredient a compound not identified in Exhibit A-3 (as such Exhibit A-3 may be amended from time to time in writing by the Parties) prepared or combined with or formulated using the (CYDEX-supplied) Product is not a “Licensed Product.”
(G)DMF Reference Fee. Gilead shall pay CYDEX a one-time DMF Reference Fee of [***] in exchange for the right of Gilead and its Affiliates to reference, in its regulatory filings for and to the extent regarding Licensed Products, CYDEX’s Type III, IV and V Drug Master Files (DMF) for the Product. CYDEX shall invoice this amount within 15 days after the Effective Date. For avoidance of doubt, Gilead shall not be obligated to pay any royalties or other milestones other than the one-time DMF Reference Fee payment.
(H)Purchase Order Quantities. Gilead shall order a minimum of [***] of Product on or before December 28, 2015 and the delivery time for such initial order shall be “January 5, 2016 or such sooner time as CYDEX is able to deliver.” There is no annual minimum Product purchase quantity.
(I)Negative Covenants. Gilead covenants and agrees that it shall not, and it shall cause its Affiliates not to, resell or transfer (other than in or for Licensed Products) any quantity of the Product, or use any of the Product for anything other than for a Licensed Product.
3.Price
(A)The prices of the Product as of the Effective Date are as set forth in Exhibit A-2 attached hereto. Such prices shall be fixed during the Term unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties.
(B)To the extent applicable, CYDEX shall calculate and charge Gilead or its Affiliates for applicable sales, GST or VAT imposed by any federal, state, provincial, local, or other governmental entity for Product provided under this Agreement, excluding taxes based solely on CYDEX’s net income or arising from the employment relationship between CYDEX and its personnel. Gilead and its Affiliates shall have no liability for taxes billed later than one hundred eighty (180) days after their due date. CYDEX shall hold Gilead and its Affiliates harmless from all claims and liability arising from CYDEX’s failure to calculate or charge any such taxes or similar charges.

(B)In the event of a material breach of this Agreement, the Party in such breach shall be provided with written notification of the breach by the other Party. The Party in such breach shall have thirty (30) days to cure the breach (to the extent the breach is of a type that can be cured in 30 days).
