     Section 2.1. Collaboration Products. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Shire shall exclusively purchase from Duramed, and Duramed shall supply to Shire, Shire’s requirements for Collaboration Products, including for Development activities under the Product Development Agreement, in placebo and active forms. Upon Development of a Collaboration Product under the Product Development Agreement, the Parties shall attach hereto mutually agreed Exhibits applicable to the supply of such Collaboration Product.

Duramed shall have no obligation to supply any Collaboration Product that has not been reduced to final finished dosage form under the applicable Development Plan, and all Exhibits hereto shall be consistent with such final finished dosage form.

     Section 2.2. Cooperation on Manufacturing Plan. The Parties acknowledge that Duramed will require certain minimum lead times and may have various options for manufacturing Shire Product hereunder, which options may include (i) building a dedicated manufacturing plant, which plant may or may not include excess capacity, (ii) utilizing excess capacity at existing manufacturing plants, (iii) expanding capacity at existing manufacturing plants, or (iv) combinations of the foregoing. Within [*] following the Effective Date (with respect to each Collaboration Product), the Parties shall meet to develop non-binding forecasts for capacity planning purposes of Shire’s anticipated needs for each Shire Product for clinical and commercial purposes over the clinical testing period and (i) the twelve (12) month period following first commercial launch of each Shire Product; and (ii) the 36 month period following the first commercial launch of each Shire Product. Thereafter, the Parties shall meet on an as-required basis, but no less than once each calendar quarter, to update such capacity planning forecast. The Parties shall also reasonably cooperate to develop non-infringing manufacturing techniques for Collaboration Products.

     Section 2.3. Initial Forecast and Purchase Order. At least [*] prior to the first anticipated clinical use or commercial launch for a Shire Product, Shire shall submit to Duramed an initial forecast (the “Initial Forecast”), which Initial Forecast shall be updated thereafter in accordance with Section 3.1. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall Shire submit a Purchase Order for any initial order of a Shire Product [*] prior to the required delivery date for such initial order.

     Section 2.4. Initial Implementation Meeting. No later than thirty (30) days after the receipt of an initial Purchase Order, Duramed and Shire shall hold an initial implementation meeting (at such time and place or by such means as are mutually agreed by the Parties) to develop specific implementation requirements for the supply of Shire Product to Shire. Thereafter, Duramed and Shire shall conduct implementation-planning meetings as reasonably required by the Parties in order to update and discuss (i) the current status of Duramed’s implementation activities, and (iii) the status of any actual and anticipated problem areas, their impact on the work efforts of Duramed, and actions being taken and/or needed to be taken by the Parties in order to reduce the potential impact of such problems.
