ARTICLE 3 SEPRACOR'S OBLIGATION 3.1 Payment. Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Sepracor shall pay the Patheon Administrator for the provision of the Manufacturing Services according to the fees specified in Schedule B hereto (such fees being subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof). 3.2 API. Sepracor shall, at its sole cost and expense, deliver the API to Patheon in sufficient quantities and at such times to facilitate the provision of the Manufacturing Services by Patheon, which API shall be held by Patheon on behalf of Sepracor on the terms and subject to the conditions herein contained. Patheon shall keep all API segregated from other materials within its control so as to maintain the integrity of the API, and shall not permit any API to be used or tested by any party not under its direct supervision and control, except as directed by Sepracor. Within [**] days of receipt of API shipment, Patheon shall verify the quantity and identity of all API received by Patheon, and shall notify Sepracor of any discrepancies in the quantity or identity of the API and/or the documents accompanying each shipment. If Patheon fails to notify Sepracor of a discrepancy within such [**] day period, or if there is damage to the API that Patheon is unable to demonstrate (within the [**] day period) occurred prior to the delivery, or if the damage to the API is a result of Patheon's negligence or wilful misconduct as demonstrated by Patheon's actions, inaction or failure to handle the API in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then Patheon shall: (i) return the API to Sepracor or dispose of the API at Sepracor's direction and (ii) in the case of Patheon's negligence or wilful misconduct, credit Sepracor in an amount equal to Sepracor's then current API cost for the API that was lost, damaged or destroyed. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.2(c) (Maximum Liability), and notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, Patheon shall assume responsibility and liability for and shall indemnify Sepracor against any loss or damage related to the API and/or the Components caused by Patheon's negligence or wilful misconduct while under Patheon's custody and control. The parties acknowledge and agree that title to the API shall at all times belong to and remain the property of Sepracor.

In connection with a fee adjustment pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 4.3, the Patheon Administrator shall deliver to Sepracor a revised Schedule B and a statement outlining the percentage increase in the U.S. Producer Price Index for Drugs and Pharmaceuticals upon which such fee adjustment is based. In connection with a fee adjustment request pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 4.3, the Patheon Administrator shall deliver to Sepracor a revised Schedule B and such budgetary pricing information, adjusted Component costs or other documentation sufficient to demonstrate that a fee adjustment is justified, provided that the Patheon Administrator shall have no obligation to provide the specific pricing of any supplier to the extent such pricing is subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and such supplier. Upon delivery of such a request, each of Sepracor and the Patheon Administrator shall forthwith use all reasonable efforts to agree on a revised fee for the Manufacturing Services in respect of each affected Product. The parties agree that a request for a fee adjustment, as well as the supporting documentation described above, shall be delivered by Patheon to Sepracor no later than [**] in the current Year for review and that any price adjustments agreed to by the parties under this Section 4.3 shall become effective as of January 1 st in the following Year for all Product manufactured after such effective date. The parties agree that any Firm Order which is impacted by price adjustments under this Section 4.3 shall be revised accordingly. For greater certainty, any adjustments agreed to by the parties under this Section 4.3 shall remain unchanged for a period of 12 months, unless additional adjustments are permitted under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Minimum Run Quantity or the Minimum Commitment outlined above (the "Annual Minimum Requirements") shall not apply in the event that: (i) Patheon fails to supply and/or deliver conforming Products as required by this Agreement at any time for any reason; or (ii) there is a material change in the current market conditions resulting from a change in law, a recall, an FDA ruling, generic entry or other event that would significantly impact Sepracor's ability to meet the Minimum Requirement. 4.4 Adjustments Due to Technical Changes. Amendments to Sepracor's Technical Information or any Quality Agreement requested by Sepracor will only be implemented following a technical and cost review by Patheon and are subject to Sepracor and the Patheon reaching agreement as to revisions, if any, to the fees specified in Schedule B necessitated by any such amendment. If Sepracor accepts a proposed fee change, the proposed change in Sepracor's Technical Information shall be implemented, and the fee change shall become effective only with respect to those orders of Products that are manufactured in accordance with the revised Sepracor's Technical Information. In addition, Sepracor agrees to purchase, at Patheon's actual out-of-pocket cost, all Inventory utilized under the "old" Sepracor Technical Information and purchased or maintained by Patheon in order to fill Firm Orders or in accordance with Section 5.3, to the extent that such Inventory can no longer be utilized under the revised Sepracor Technical Information. Open purchase orders for Components no longer required under any revised Sepracor Technical Information that were placed by Patheon with suppliers in order to fill Firm Orders or in accordance with Section 5.3 shall be cancelled where possible, and where such orders are not subject to cancellation without penalty, shall be assigned to and satisfied by Sepracor. 4.5 Multi-Country Packaging Requirements. If and when Sepracor decides that it wishes to have Patheon manufacture the Product for a New Jurisdiction, then Sepracor shall inform the Patheon Administrator of the packaging needs for each New Jurisdiction and the Patheon Administrator shall prepare a quotation for consideration by Sepracor of the additional Component costs, if any, and the change over fees for the Product destined for such New Jurisdiction. The agreed additional packaging requirements and related packaging costs and change over fees shall be set out in a written amendment to this Agreement. 11
4.6 Cost Improvement Program. Patheon and Sepracor agree to work together to develop cost reduction initiatives as part of an overall cost improvement program, provided such program does not involve additional capital or extraordinary costs unless otherwise agreed to by parties in writing. All net cost savings (net of implementation costs) realized from the cost improvement program shall be shared equally among the parties, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing. A "cost reduction initiative" for the purpose of this Agreement shall be an initiative that reduces the internal or out-of-pocket costs incurred by a party in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. It is further agreed by the parties that on-going method improvements developed or adopted by either Sepracor or Patheon independently of the other party(ies), shall not be a cost reduction initiative under this Section 4.6, and there shall be no obligation on such party to share the net cost savings realized from such improvement with the other party(ies) to this Agreement. ARTICLE 5 ORDERS, DELIVERY, INVOICING, PAYMENT, PRODUCT DEFICIENCIES 5.1 Market Outlook. Sepracor acknowledges that for optimal production planning, Patheon requires an understanding of Sepracor's ordering and forecasting needs for the Products in the market and agrees, to the extent that such information (including, if any, Sepracor's five-year market outlook studies) exists, to share such information with Patheon, provided that such information may not be relied upon by Patheon for any purpose and further provided that any information so provided shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions of Article 10. 5.2 Orders and Forecasts. Sepracor shall provide Patheon with the following:
12
5.3 Modification or Cancellation of Orders. In the event that: (i) Patheon is unable to supply and/or deliver conforming Products equal to [**] percent ("[**]%") of Firm Order quantities of Product in a given calendar quarter; or (ii) there is a material change in the current market conditions resulting from a change in law, a recall, an FDA ruling, generic entry or other event that would significantly impact Sepracor's ability to purchase the Firm Order quantities of Products in a given calendar quarter; then any then existing Firm Orders and the Annual Minimum Commitment may be modified by Sepracor as may be reasonably necessary to adequately address the changed circumstances contemplated by this paragraph. The parties shall work together diligently to reestablish the predictability of the forecasting and ordering process as soon as possible thereafter. In addition, Sepracor may request a modification of the delivery date or quantity of Product in a Firm Order by submitting a written request to Patheon ("Change Order") at least thirty (30) business days in advance of the scheduled start of manufacturing. Such Change Order shall be effective and binding against Patheon upon Patheon's receipt and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Sepracor has the option of canceling any open balance of Product due on any Firm Order that is overdue by more than [**] days from the acknowledgment date; provided, that such period shall be extended by a period equal to (i) any delays caused directly by Sepracor and (ii) any delays resulting from good-faith quality investigations (provided, Patheon is diligently pursuing any such quality investigation). 5.4 Advance Purchase of Components. Sepracor understands that to ensure an orderly supply of such Components and to achieve economies of scale in the costs therefore, it may be desirable for Patheon to purchase such Components in sufficient volumes to meet the production requirements for Products during part or all of the forecasted periods referred to in Section 5.2(a) or to meet the production requirements of any longer period agreed to by the Patheon Administrator and Sepracor. Accordingly, Sepracor authorizes Patheon to purchase Components in order to satisfy the production requirements for Products for the first six (6) months projected in the most recent forecast provided by Sepracor pursuant to Section 5.2(a), 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 Sepracor at the request of the Patheon Administrator. If Components ordered by Patheon pursuant to Firm Orders or this Section 5.3 are not included in finished Products purchased by Sepracor within six (6) months after the forecasted month in respect of which such purchases have been made (or such longer period as the parties may agree), Sepracor shall pay Patheon the costs thereof and, in the event such Components are incorporated into Products subsequently purchased by Sepracor, Sepracor will receive credit for any costs of such Components previously paid to the Patheon Administrator by Sepracor. 5.5 Minimum Run Quantities. Sepracor may only order Products in multiples of the Minimum Run Quantities set out in Schedule B. 5.6 Shipments. Shipments of Products to Sepracor shall be made EXW Patheon's shipping point. Such title as Patheon has in Products and risk of loss or of damage to Products shall remain with Patheon until Products are delivered to the carrier by Patheon for shipment to Sepracor at the EXW point, at which time title and risk of loss or damage shall transfer to Sepracor. Patheon shall, in accordance with Sepracor's instructions and as agent for Sepracor, (i) arrange for shipping and insurance, to be paid by 13
Sepracor, and (ii) at Sepracor's risk and expense, obtain any export licence or other official authorization and carry out all customs formalities necessary to export the Products. Sepracor may select the freight carrier used by Patheon to ship Products and may monitor Patheon's shipping and freight practices as they pertain to this Agreement. Products shall be transported in accordance with Sepracor's Technical Information. For greater certainty, Patheon shall assume the risk of loss and damage for any bulk Product while in transit between Patheon's Manufacturing Sites. In addition, any additional shipping costs relative to shipping from Patheon's Toronto, Canada facility that are incurred as a result of Patheon subcontracting the services to any Patheon Affiliates will be borne by Patheon. 5.7 Invoices and Payment. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Patheon shall charge Sepracor for the Manufacturing Services only in respect of those Products that are shipped to Sepracor and shall submit to Sepracor, with each shipment of Products, an invoice covering such shipment. The Patheon Administrator shall also provide Sepracor with an invoice covering any Inventory or Components that are to be purchased by Sepracor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Each such invoice shall, to the extent applicable, identify Sepracor's purchase order number, Product numbers, names and quantities, unit price and the total amount to be remitted by Sepracor. Except as agreed under section 5.8(a) below, Sepracor shall pay all such invoices within thirty (30) days of the date thereof. 5.8 Product Deficiencies. (a) Inspection. Sepracor shall inspect the Products manufactured by Patheon upon receipt thereof and, within [**] days, shall give the Patheon Administrator written notice of all claims for Products that deviate from Sepracor's Technical Information or cGMPs (a " Deficiency Notice "). In the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, Sepracor shall give the Patheon Administrator a Deficiency Notice within [**] days after discovery thereof by Sepracor, but in no event after the expiration date of the Product. Should Sepracor fail to provide the Patheon Administrator with written notice of its acceptance or rejection of the delivery within [**] days of receipt of a delivery of Products, then delivery shall be deemed to have been accepted by Sepracor on the [**] day after delivery. Except as set out in Section 6.2, Patheon shall have no liability for any deviations for which the Patheon Administrator has not received notice within the applicable [**] day period. Sepracor shall not be obligated to pay for any Product which is the subject of a Deficiency Notice until the issue has been resolved under Section 5.8(b). (b) Determination of Deficiency. Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Patheon shall undertake appropriate testing of the Products and shall have [**] days to advise Sepracor by notice in writing that it disagrees with the contents of such Deficiency Notice. If Sepracor and the Patheon Administrator fail to agree within [**] days after the Patheon Administrator's notice to Sepracor as to whether any Products identified in the Deficiency Notice deviate from Sepracor's Technical Information or cGMPs, then the parties shall mutually select an independent laboratory to evaluate if the Products deviate from Sepracor's Technical Information or cGMPs (the "Evaluation"). Such Evaluation shall be binding on the parties, and if the Evaluation certifies that any Products deviate from Sepracor's Technical Information or cGMPs, Sepracor may reject those Products in the manner contemplated by Section 5.8(c) and Patheon shall pay the costs of the Evaluation. If the Evaluation does not so certify in respect of any such Products, then Sepracor shall be deemed to have accepted delivery of such Products on the [**] day after delivery and Sepracor shall pay the costs of the Evaluation. (c) Product Rejection. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.8(a) and (b), and 9.2(b), Sepracor has the right to reject and return, at Patheon's expense, any portion of any shipment of Products that deviates from Sepracor's Technical Information or cGMPs without invalidating any remainder of such shipment. 14
ARTICLE 6 CO-OPERATION 6.1 Quarterly Review. Each of Sepracor and the Patheon Administrator shall forthwith upon execution of this Agreement appoint one of its employees to be a relationship manager responsible for liaison between the parties. The relationship managers shall meet not less than quarterly to review the current status of the business relationship and manage any issues that have arisen. 6.2 Product Recalls and Returns. (a) Product Recalls. Patheon and Sepracor shall each maintain records as may be necessary to permit a recall or a field correction of any Products delivered to Sepracor or customers of Sepracor, effected voluntarily or under a threat of, or a directive by, any governmental agency. Each party shall give notice within one Business Day by telephone (to be confirmed in writing) to the Director of Quality Control/Quality Assurance of the other party upon discovery that any Products should be recalled or corrected, or may be required to be recalled or corrected, and each party upon receiving any such notice or upon any such discovery, shall cease and desist from further shipments of such Products in its possession or control until a decision has been made whether a recall or some other corrective action is necessary. The decision to initiate a recall or to take some other corrective action, if any, shall be made and implemented by Sepracor. Patheon will co-operate as reasonably required by Sepracor, having regard to all applicable laws and regulations. (b) Product Returns. Sepracor shall have the responsibility for handling customer returns of the Products. The Patheon Administrator and Patheon shall provide Sepracor with such assistance as Sepracor may reasonably need to handle such returns. (c) Patheon Responsibility. To the extent that a recall or return results from, or arises out of, a failure by Patheon to perform in accordance with this Agreement or to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Manufacturing Responsibilities, such recall or return shall be made at Patheon's cost and expense, and Patheon shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace the recalled or returned Products with new Products within [**] days from the date that Sepracor definitively notifies Patheon about the recalled or returned Products, contingent upon the receipt or availability from Sepracor of all API. In the event that Patheon is unable to replace the recalled Products within this [**]-day period (except where such inability results from a failure to receive the required API), then Patheon shall reimburse Sepracor for the price that Sepracor paid to Patheon for manufacturing the affected Products. In all other circumstances, recalls, returns or other corrective actions shall be made at Sepracor's cost and expense. 6.3 Customer Questions and Complaints. Sepracor shall have the sole responsibility for responding to questions and complaints from Sepracor's customers. Questions or complaints received by Patheon from Sepracor's customers shall be promptly referred to Sepracor. The Patheon Administrator and Patheon shall co-operate as reasonably required to allow Sepracor to determine the cause of and resolve any customer questions and complaints. Such co-operation shall include follow-up investigations, including testing. In addition, within [**] days from the date of request, the Patheon Administrator shall provide Sepracor with all necessary information that will enable Sepracor to respond properly to questions or complaints relating to the Products. Unless it is determined that the cause of any customer complaint resulted from a failure by Patheon to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Manufacturing Responsibilities, all costs incurred in respect of this Section 6.3 shall be borne by Sepracor. 15
6.4 Governmental Agencies. Each party may communicate with any governmental agency, including but not limited to governmental agencies responsible for granting regulatory approval for the Products, regarding such Products if in the opinion of that party's counsel, such communication is necessary to comply with the terms of this Agreement or the requirements of any law, governmental order or regulation; provided, however, that unless in th | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
