What is a Manufacturing Agreement?

A manufacturing agreement is a legal contract that outlines the responsibilities of both parties in the production of goods. This legal document defines what you are responsible for, and what your partner is responsible for. The agreement also defines who owns the intellectual property rights to any design or process involved in the manufacture of these products.

There are many scenarios when businesses need to outsource manufacturing to a partner. It is a way to scale production without having to make internal investemtns in factories, equipment, labor, and other components in manufacturing.

Manufacturing agreements can also be international, so it is important to work with counsel in the appropriate jurisdiction to make sure you are protected.

7.1 Roquette Indemnification . Roquette shall indemnify the Company and its directors, officers, employees and agents (the “ Company Indemnified Parties ”), and defend and hold each of them harmless, from and against any and all claims, lawsuits, losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) (collectively, “ Losses ”) incurred by any of them in connection with, arising from or occurring as a result of (i) the breach by Roquette of this Agreement or (ii) any gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Roquette in performing its obligations under this Agreement, except in each case for those Losses for which the Company has an obligation to indemnify the Roquette Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.2, as to which Losses each Party shall indemnify the other to the extent of their respective liability for such Losses.

7.2 Company Indemnification . The Company shall indemnify Roquette and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the “ Roquette Indemnified Parties ”), and defend and hold each of them harmless, from and against any and all Losses incurred by any of them in connection with, arising from or occurring as a result of (i) the breach by the Company of this Agreement or (ii) any gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Company in performing its obligations under this Agreement, except in each case for those Losses for which Roquette has an obligation to indemnify the Company Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.1, as to which Losses each Party shall indemnify the other to the extent of their respective liability for such Losses.

7.3 Indemnification Procedure . If a Party intends to claim indemnification under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, such Party (the “ Indemnitee ”) shall promptly notify the other Party (the “ Indemnitor ”) in writing of any claim for indemnification, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Indemnitor shall have control of the defense and/or settlement thereof using counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. However, if the Indemnitee believes (based on the advice of outside counsel) that due to potential conflicts of interest between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor, representation of the Indemnitee by the Indemnitor’s counsel would be inappropriate, the Indemnitee may select separate counsel and the Indemnitor shall be responsible for the costs of such representation of the Indemnitee. Under all other circumstances, the Indemnitee may, in its sole discretion, participate in any such proceeding with separate counsel of its choice, at its own expense. The foregoing indemnity obligation shall not apply to amounts paid by the Indemnitee in settlement of any claim if such settlement is effected by the Indemnitee without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably. At the Indemnitor’s request and expense, the Indemnitee and its employees and agents shall provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of and preparation for the defense against any action, claim or liability covered by this indemnification. The Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement or consent to an adverse judgment in any such claim, demand, action or other proceeding that admits any wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnitee or its officers, directors, employees and agents, or that imposes additional obligations (financial or otherwise) on the Indemnitee, without the prior express written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed
