2.5                                  Quality Control and Assurance.

 

(a)                                   Patheon shall manufacture, package, test and ship the Products in accordance with (i) the current good manufacturing practices as described in Division 2 of Part C of the Food and Drug Regulations (Canada) and Parts 210 and 211 of Title 21 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations, together with the latest Health Canada and FDA guidance documents pertaining to manufacturing and quality control practices all as updated, amended and revised from time to time (collectively “GMPs” ), and (ii) the Specifications.  Patheon’s responsibilities and obligations described in the foregoing sentence are hereinafter referred to as the “Patheon Manufacturing Requirements” .

 

(b)                                  Patheon shall perform the quality control and quality assurance testing specified in the Quality Agreement.

 

(c)                                   If the Products as manufactured by Patheon do not satisfy Patheon’s quality control and quality assurance testing due to Patheon’s failure to produce the Products in accordance with the Patheon Manufacturing Requirements, Patheon shall, at its sole cost and expense, manufacture additional Products to replace such defective Products.  In such circumstances, Client shall have no obligation to purchase or pay for any rejected Products.

 

(d)                                  Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the parties agree that Patheon shall not be liable or have any responsibility for any deficiencies in, or other liabilities associated with: (i) the formulae and procedures specified by Client; (ii) the safety (except to the extent due to the fault of Patheon as determined in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement), efficacy or marketability of the Products; (iii) distribution risk; (iv) Components, provided that any such deficiency was not reasonably discoverable using the test methods detailed in the Specifications and applying such test methods in accordance with GMP; or (v) services provided by third parties in connection with the packaging of the bulk Product.

Patheon shall not under any circumstances ship Non-Conforming Products (as defined in Section 2.6(a)) to Client.

 

2.6                                  Rejection of Products .

 

(a)                                   Client shall inspect the Products manufactured by Patheon within thirty (30) business days after receipt at Client’s warehouse and shall give Patheon written notice (a “Deficiency Notice” ) of all claims for (i) Products which do not conform to the Patheon Manufacturing Requirements or the tests results as shown on the certificate of analysis (such Products being referred to herein as “Non-Conforming Products” ), or (ii) shortages in the amount of delivered Products, in each case prior to the expiry of such thirty (30) day period.  Except as set out in Sections 4.2 and 4.3 below, Patheon shall have no liability for any deviations or shortages for which it has not received notice within such thirty (30) day period.  Client shall return, at Patheon’s expense, any Non-Conforming Product.  Cost and method of returned Non-Conforming Product disposal shall be Patheon’s responsibility.

 

(b)                                  Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice relating to claims under 2.6(a)(i) above, Patheon shall have 10 business days to notify Client in writing as to whether it agrees that the subject Products are Non-Conforming Products.  If Client and Patheon fail to agree within 10 business days after Patheon’s notice to Client as to whether any Products identified in the Deficiency Notice are Non-Conforming Products, the parties shall mutually determine an independent laboratory to evaluate whether the Products are Non-Conforming Products.  If such evaluation certifies that any Products are Non-Conforming Products, Client may have those Products replaced in the manner contemplated by Subsection 2.6(d).

 

(c)                                   Claims for shortages set out in a Deficiency Notice delivered to Patheon pursuant to Subsection 2.6(a)(ii) shall be dealt with in accordance with normal commercial practices.

 

(d)                                  All fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the independent determination by the laboratory as described in Section 2.6(b) above shall be borne by the party which determined incorrectly that the relevant Product was or was not a Non-Conforming Product.  Within 15 days of the determination by the independent laboratory that the Product is a Non-Conforming Product, Patheon shall replace such returned Non-Conforming Product at its expense or if it is unable to make prompt replacement, shall either credit Client’s account or refund any payment made on the rejected Product, depending on Client’s account balance.

 

2.7                                  Stability Testing.   Patheon shall conduct stability testing on the Products as required by GMPs and in accordance with the protocols approved by Client from time to time and executed by the Client and Patheon.  The fee proposal for such

stability testing shall be prepared by Patheon and approved by the Client, such approval to be evidenced by the Client’s execution of such proposal.  Patheon shall not make any changes to these testing procedures without prior written approval from Client.  In the event that any lot of Products fails stability testing, Patheon and Client shall jointly determine the proceedings and methods to be undertaken to investigate the causes of such failure, including which party shall bear the cost of such investigation.  Patheon will provide any and all data and results relating to the stability testing upon request by Client.  From time to time, Patheon shall, at the request of Client, also provide stability testing services with respect to products not manufactured by Patheon, the cost of such services to be agreed to between the parties prior to such services being undertaken.

 

3.0                                ORDERS, DELIVERY, INVOICING AND PAYMENT

 

3.1                                  Yearly Forecast.   On the execution of this Agreement, Client shall provide Patheon with a forecast of the volume of each Product required during the first year of this Agreement.

 

3.2                                  Orders/Forecasts.   During the term of this Agreement, Client shall, on a monthly basis, submit to Patheon a 12 month rolling forecast that sets forth the total quantity of Product that the Client has ordered and expects to order from Patheon within the 12 month period.  The first two months of such forecast are to be considered firm orders (the “ Firm Orders ”).  Firm Orders in respect of batches of Product of not more than 24 per month will be accompanied by a purchase order for the Product to be produced and delivered to the Client on a date not less than 75 days from the date Patheon receives the purchase order.  Each forecast and purchase order will be provided to Patheon no later than the 15 th of each month.  The parties shall mutually agree on an acceptable delivery schedule in the event the forecasted requirements exceed 24 batches.

 

In addition, in January and June of each year, the Client shall provide Patheon with a written non-binding three year forecast (broken down by quarters for the second and third years of the forecast) of the volume of each Product the Client then anticipates will be required to be produced and delivered to the Client during such three-year period.

 

3.3                                  Written Orders.   The Firm Orders submitted to Patheon pursuant to Section 3.2 shall specify Client’s purchase order number, quantities by Product type, monthly delivery schedule and any other elements necessary to ensure the timely production and delivery of the Products.  The quantities of Products ordered in such Firm Orders shall be firm and binding on Client and shall not be subject to reduction.  Patheon shall provide written confirmation of receipt of Firm Orders to the Client within ten (10) calendar days of receipt thereof.

the production requirements for Products for the first six months contemplated in the most recent forecast provided by the Client pursuant to Section 3.2, and agrees that Patheon may make such other purchases of Components to meet production requirements during such longer periods as may be agreed to in writing from time to time by the Client at the request of Patheon.  In such circumstances, if such Components are not included in finished Products purchased by Client within six months after such purchases have been made (or such longer period as the parties may have agreed to), Client will pay to Patheon its costs thereof and, in the event such Components are incorporated into Products subsequently purchased by Client, Client will receive credit for any of such costs previously paid to Patheon by Client.

 

3.5                                  Minimum Orders.   The Products to be manufactured and packaged by Patheon may only be ordered in quantities equal to or greater than the minimum order quantities specified in Exhibit C.

 

3.6                                  Late Shipments.   Patheon agrees that time is of the essence of this Agreement.  If Patheon becomes aware that it will not meet a scheduled delivery date, Patheon will promptly communicate this to Client.  In the event of repeated late deliveries, Patheon and Client shall meet to determine a mutually satisfactory solution to this problem.  If after such meetings, there are continued late deliveries, Client shall be entitled to treat same as a material breach of this Agreement and the provisions of Section 5.3(a) hereof shall apply and the time period specified in Section 5.3(a) shall commence.

 

3.7                                  Termination.   If this Agreement expires or is terminated in whole or in part for any reason other than a default by Patheon as set out in subsection 5.3(a) or (b), Client shall (in addition to any other remedies Patheon may have in the event of default by Client):

 

(a)                                   purchase, at Patheon’s cost, the Inventory applicable to the Products which were purchased, produced or maintained by Patheon in contemplation of filling Firm Orders, or in accordance with Section 3.4, prior to notice of termination being given. Client’s obligation under this section shall not exceed Patheon’s actual costs of Components and Inventory in order to manufacture a six month supply of Product based upon the most recent forecast unless the purchase of such Components and Inventory was authorized by the Client pursuant to Section 3.4;

 

(b)                                  purchase all undelivered Products which were manufactured and/or packaged pursuant to a Firm Order, at the price in effect at the time the order was placed; and

 

(c)                                   satisfy the purchase price payable pursuant to Patheon’s orders with suppliers of Components, or in accordance with Section 3.4, provided such orders were made by Patheon in reliance on Firm Orders.

If this Agreement is terminated as a result of a default by Patheon, Client shall have the option to purchase such of the items referred to in (a), (b) and (c) above if it determines in its absolute discretion that the items can be used by it.

 

3.8                                  Specifications.   All Components shall be purchased and tested by Patheon at Patheon’s expense in accordance with Patheon Manufacturing Requirements.  Patheon will not change the Specifications used to manufacture, test, package and ship the Products without the written consent of Client.  Amendments to Specifications requested by Client will only be implemented following a technical and cost review, subject to Client and Patheon reaching agreement as to price revisions necessitated by any such amendment in accordance with Section 3.9 below.

 

3.9                                  Change in Specifications.

 

(a)                                   If Client requests a change in the Specifications which would result in an increase or decrease in Patheon’s costs for Components or would cause Patheon to incur other costs as a result of the change in Specifications, the parties shall discuss, each acting reasonably and based on satisfactory documentation provided by Patheon indicating the cause of the price change, what impact, if any, such change should have on the price of the Products and payment to Patheon of the related costs.  If Client, acting reasonably, accepts a proposed price change, the proposed change in the Specifications shall be implemented, and the price change shall become effective only with respect to those orders of Products which are manufactured in accordance with the revised Specifications.

 

(b)                                  Notwithstanding any change in the Specifications implemented in accordance with the terms of (a) above, Client agrees to purchase all Products manufactured by Patheon based upon any “old” Specifications at the then-current price for those Products.  In addition, Client agrees to purchase, at Patheon’s cost, all Inventory, utilized under the “old” Specifications and purchased or maintained by Patheon in order to fill Firm written Orders to the extent that such Inventory can no longer be utilized under the revised Specifications.  Open purchase orders for Components no longer required under any revised Specifications which were placed by Patheon with suppliers in order to fill Firm Orders or in accordance with Section 3.4 shall be cancelled where possible, and where such orders are not subject to cancellation without penalty, shall be assigned to and satisfied by Client.

 

(c)                                   If a change in Specifications must be made by Client solely as a result of Patheon’s acts or omissions, the parties will meet to determine who will bear any costs arising from such change in the Specifications.

 

3.10                            Shipments.   Patheon shall ship and deliver the Products at Patheon’s premises at the facilities listed in Exhibit B to such Client locations as requested by Client and

at Client’s expense.  Client shall select the freight carrier used by Patheon to ship the Products and may monitor Patheon’s shipping/freight practices as they pertain to this Agreement.  Risk of loss and title shall pass to Client upon delivery by Patheon to the freight carrier selected by Client at Patheon’s premises.  For greater certainty, Patheon agrees that it will be responsible for preparation, on Client’s behalf and at Client’s expense, of all shipping documents, including customs formalities for export of the Products.

 

3.11                            Invoices and Payment.   Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Patheon shall charge Client for only those Products that are shipped to Client.  Invoices shall be sent by fax or email to such fax number or email address as may be provided by the Client in writing from time to time.  Patheon shall also submit to the Client, with each shipment of Products, a duplicate copy of the invoice covering such shipment.  Each such invoice shall, to the extent applicable, identify the Client purchase order number, Product numbers, names and quantities, unit price, freight charges and the total amount to be remitted by Client.  Client shall pay all such invoices within thirty (30) days of the date thereof.

 

3.12                            Lot Numbering/Expiration Dates.   Patheon shall make arrangements for and implement the imprinting of lot numbers, expiration dates, retest dates or “package-by” dates, as applicable, on each Product container as required by GMPs for each Product shipped.  Such lot numbers and dates shall be affixed on the Products and/or on the shipping carton of each Product as is required by GMPs.  The system used by Patheon for lot numbering and expiration dates is detailed on Exhibit E hereto.  Except in circumstances constituting force majeure pursuant to Section 10.10 or an inability of Patheon to obtain Components due to no fault of Patheon or circumstances beyond Patheon’s reasonable control (including, without limitation, where Product is undergoing an investigation in respect of quality matters), Patheon shall take best efforts to ensure that Product shall have not less than 21 months remaining before expiration at the time of shipment of such Product by Patheon; provided, however, in the event that Product will have less than
