The Client shall purchase at least (i) [***]% of its requirement of Products of between [***] tablets per Year; and (ii) [***]% of its requirement of Products of greater than [***] tablets per Year for sale in the Territory from Patheon pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that such purchase requirements shall be prorated for the first Year to the extent the first Year is less than a complete calendar year.

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

          (d) Active Materials . [***] shall purchase the Active Materials in sufficient quantities and at such times as may be necessary to provide the Manufacturing Services by Patheon hereunder.

under Section 5.4. Patheon shall test the Active Materials at [***] expense and as specified by the Specifications.

          (e) Stability Testing . Patheon shall conduct stability testing on the Products in accordance with the protocols set out in the Specifications for the separate fees specified in Schedule D. Patheon shall not make any changes to these testing protocols without prior written approval from the Client. In the event that any batch of Products fails stability testing, (i) Patheon shall investigate and confirm that all analytical methods have been properly applied and, if applicable, corrected, and (ii) Patheon and the 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, provided that, subject to Section 10.2, Patheon shall be liable for such costs if the failure is attributable to Patheon’s failure to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications or cGMPs. Patheon will provide any and all data and results relating to the stability testing upon request by the Client.

          (f) Packaging . Patheon shall package the Products with labels, product inserts and other packaging as set out in the Specifications. The Client shall be responsible for the cost of artwork development. In addition, Patheon shall make arrangements for and implement the imprinting of batch numbers and expiration dates for each Product shipped. Such batch numbers and expiration dates shall be affixed on the Products and on the shipping carton of each Product as outlined in the Specifications and as required by cGMPs. The system used by Patheon for batch numbering and expiration dates is detailed in Schedule F hereto. The Client may, in its sole discretion, make changes to labels, product inserts and other packaging for the Products, which changes shall be submitted by the Client to all applicable Agencies and other third parties responsible for the approval of the Products. The Client shall be responsible for the cost of labeling obsolescence when changes occur. Patheon’s name shall not appear on the label or anywhere else on the Products unless: (i) required by any Laws; or (ii) Patheon and the Client expressly consent to such use of Patheon’s name in writing.

          (g) Storage . Until finished Products are shipped, Patheon shall store all such Products identifiably distinct from any other raw material and finished or filled product stocks and shall comply with all storage requirements set forth in the Specifications and all Applicable Laws, including, but not limited to, cGMPs. Patheon shall assume responsibility for any loss or damage to such finished Product while stored by Patheon.

finished Product, Patheon shall test each batch of bulk finished Product for compliance with the finished Product Specifications (excluding packaging-related specifications). In the event any nonconforming Product is observed in connection with such testing procedures, Patheon shall promptly suspend the packaging of the applicable batch, notify Client in writing, and consult with Client with respect to available alternatives.

          If Patheon manufactures Products in accordance with the Process Specifications and a batch or portion of a batch does not meet a finished Product Specification, [***] shall [***] for its [***], any [***], and any [***].

2.2 Standard of Performance.

          Patheon shall provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs and Applicable Laws.

ARTICLE 3.
CLIENT’S OBLIGATIONS

3.1 Payment.

          Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Client shall pay Patheon for the provision of the Manufacturing Services according to the fees specified in Schedules C and D hereto (such fees being subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof).

ARTICLE 4.
CONVERSION FEES AND COMPONENT COSTS

4.1 [***] Pricing.

          The fees for the Manufacturing Services (including Component costs) for the [***] are listed in Schedules C and D and the fees for the Manufacturing Services ([***]) are intended by the parties to be [***] for the [***] of this Agreement, subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 4.3.

4.2 Price Adjustments — Subsequent Years’ Pricing.

          The fees for the Manufacturing Services provided pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for any Year beginning after the [***] Year under this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the following:

***

- 9 -


 

unless the parties otherwise agree in writing; and (ii) for Component costs to [***] any increase or decrease in such costs; provided, however, that in the event any proposed increase in the cost of a Component exceeds [***]% of the cost for that Component upon which the most recent fee quote was based, Patheon shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to locate an equivalent alternative lower cost supplier for the applicable Component. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent costs for Components decrease in the [***] or any [***] of this Agreement, Patheon shall pass on to the Client [***] of any decrease in such costs.

          (b) Pricing Basis . The Client acknowledges that the fee for Manufacturing Services in respect of a Product in any Year is quoted based upon the Minimum Run Quantity per Product specified in Schedule C and is subject to change if the specified Minimum Run Quantity is revised. For greater certainty, if Patheon and the Client agree that the Minimum Run Quantity in respect of a Product shall be increased or decreased and, as a result of such increase or decrease, Patheon’s fees for services relating to such Product decrease or increase on a per unit basis, then if such revised Minimum Run Quantity is not otherwise contemplated in Schedule C, Patheon shall be entitled to a decrease or increase in the fee for Manufacturing Services in respect of such Product by an amount sufficient to pass on to the Client the cost savings or to absorb, but not exceed, such increased costs, as the case may be. When the volume reaches the upper tiers contemplated in Schedule C, the Client will need to select which option Patheon is to follow, i.e. small batch size and two (2) batches per campaign or one (1) large batch per campaign. Batch sizes will not be varied on an order by order basis.

4.3 Mid-Year Pricing

          During any Year of this Agreement, Patheon shall be entitled to request an adjustment to the fees for Component costs (i) to pass on the actual amount of any increase or decrease in such costs; and (ii) if at any time market conditions result in Patheon’s cost of Components being materially greater than normal forecasted increases, then Patheon shall be entitled to request an adjustment to the fee for Manufacturing Services in respect of any affected Product to compensate it for such increased Component costs; provided, however, that in the event any proposed increase in the cost of a Component exceeds [***]% of the cost for that Component upon which the most recent fee quote was based, Patheon shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to locate an equivalent alternative lower cost supplier for the applicable Component. For the purposes of this Section 4.3, changes materially greater than normal forecasted increases shall be considered to have occurred if: (i) the cost of a Component increases by [***]% of the cost for that Component upon which the most recent fee quote was based; or (ii) the aggregate cost for all Components required to manufacture a Product increases by [***]% of the total Component costs for such Product upon which the most recent fee quote was based. To the extent that Component costs have been previously adjusted pursuant to clause (a) of Section 4.2 or this Section 4.3 to reflect an increase in the cost of one or more Components, the adjustments provided for in (i) and (ii) above shall operate based on the costs

attributed to such Component (or Components) at the time the last of such adjustments were made.

4.4 Fee Adjustment Procedure

          In connection with all fee adjustment requests pursuant to this Article 4, Patheon shall deliver to the Client by not later than November 1 st of each Year a revised Schedule C in draft form and such budgetary pricing information or other documentation (including the [***] in the case of any adjustment request pertaining to fees for Manufacturing Services and, the adjusted Component costs) reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that a fee adjustment is justified. Upon delivery of such a request, each of the Client and Patheon shall forthwith use all reasonable efforts to agree on a revised fee for the Manufacturing Services in respect of each affected Product and Schedule C shall be amended accordingly. Such revised fee shall be effective with respect to any Product delivered after the end of the then current Year.

4.5 Adjustments Due to Technical Changes.

          Amendments to the Specifications or the Quality Agreement requested by the Client will only be implemented following a technical and cost review by Patheon and are subject to the Client and Patheon reaching agreement as to revisions, if any, to the fees specified in Schedules C or D necessitated by any such amendment. If the Client accepts a proposed fee change, the proposed change in the Specifications 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 Specifications. In addition, the Client agrees to purchase, at Patheon’s cost therefor (including all costs incurred by Patheon in connection with the purchase and handling of such Inventory), all Inventory utilized under the “old” Specifications and purchased or maintained by Patheon in order to fill Firm Orders or in accordance with Section 5.2, 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 that were placed by Patheon with suppliers in order to fill Firm Orders or in accordance with Section 5.2 shall be cancelled where possible, and where such orders are not subject to cancellation without penalty, shall be assigned to and satisfied by the Client.

4.6 Multi-Country Packaging Requirements.

          If and when the Client decides that it wishes to have Patheon manufacture the Product for countries in the Territory in addition to [***], then the Client shall inform Patheon of the packaging requirements for each new country and Patheon shall prepare a quotation for consideration by the Client of the additional Component costs, if any, and the change over fees for the Product destined for such new country. The agreed additional packaging requirements and related packaging costs and change over fees shall be set out in a written amendment to this Agreement.

ARTICLE 5.
ORDERS, SHIPMENT, INVOICING, PAYMENT

5.1 Orders and Forecasts.

          (a) Rolling Forecasts . Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the Client shall provide Patheon with a written non-binding 12 month forecast of the volume of each Product that the Client then anticipates will be required to be produced and delivered to the Client during each month of the 12 month period thereafter. Such forecast will be updated by the Client monthly on or before the 10 th day of the month on a rolling 12 month basis and updated promptly after such time as the Client determines that the volumes contemplated in the most recent of such forecasts has changed by more than [***]%. The most recent 12 month forecast shall supersede all previous forecasts.

          (b) Firm Orders . On or before the 20th day of each calendar month, the Client shall issue firm written orders (“ Firm Orders ”) for the Products to be produced and delivered to the Client on a date not less than 90 days from the first day of the calendar month immediately following the date that the Firm Order is submitted. Such Firm Orders submitted to Patheon shall specify the Client’s purchase order number, quantities by Product type, monthly delivery schedule and any other elements necessary to ensure the timely production and shipment of the Products. The quantities of Products ordered in such Firm Orders shall be firm and binding on the Client and shall not be subject to reduction by the Client. Firm Orders submitted by the Client pursuant to this Section 5.1 must be accepted by Patheon and shall be automatically firm and binding on Patheon if they are not more than [***]% of the amount most recently forecast for the delivery period specified in the Firm Order. Patheon will use commercially reasonable efforts to manufacture Product in excess of [***]% of the amount most recently forecast for the delivery period specified in the Firm Order. Firm Orders not rejected by Patheon within three Business Days of receipt by Patheon shall be deemed to have been accepted by Patheon.

          (c) Three Year Forecast . On or before the 1 st day of November of each Year commencing not later than six months prior to the anticipated Commencement Date (as estimated in the Client’s reasonable judgment based on clinical development timelines and regulatory activities), 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 the three-year period, and updated on or before the 1 st day of May in each Year.

5.2 Reliance by Patheon.

required to meet such Firm Orders. In addition, the Client understands that to ensure an orderly supply of such Components, 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 5.1(a) or to meet the production requirements of any longer period agreed to by Patheon and the Client. Accordingly, the Client authorizes Patheon to purchase Components in order to satisfy the production requirements for Products for the first [***] months contemplated in the most recent forecast provided by the Client pursuant to Section 5.1(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 the Client at the request of Patheon or the Client. The Client shall provide Patheon with its written authorization to order Components in respect of any launch quantities of Product requested by the Client, which upon acceptance by Patheon shall constitute a Firm Order. If Components ordered by Patheon pursuant to Firm Orders or in order to satisfy the production requirements for Products for the first [***] months contemplated in the most recent forecast provided by the Client pursuant to Section 5.1(a) are not included in finished Products purchased by the Client within [***] months after the forecasted month in respect of which such purchases have been made (or such longer period as the parties may agree), then Patheon shall promptly notify Client and the Client shall pay to Patheon [***]; provided, however, that (i) the Client shall have the option but not the obligation to take title to and possession of all or any portion of such Components by written notice to Patheon, in which case Patheon shall cooperate with the Client in the surrender, delivery and transfer of such Components as promptly as is commercially reasonable, with any shipping and related expenses to be borne by the Client, or (ii) in the event such Components are incorporated into Products subsequently purchased by the Client or into third party products manufactured by Patheon and subsequently purchased by a third party, the Client will receive credit for any costs of such Components previously paid to Patheon by the Client. Patheon shall not be obligated to provide information regarding any Component which is subject to confidentiality obligations between Patheon and its supplier.

5.3 Minimum Orders.

          The Client may only order Products in multiples of the Minimum Run Quantities set out in Schedule C.

5.4 Shipments.

          Shipments of Products shall be made FCA the Manufacturing Site unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing and Patheon shall make every reasonable effort to ship finished goods within [***] months of the start of manufacture of the Products unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by both parties. Failure to ship within [***] months is not a cause for refusal of Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if FDA approves the Products for [***] months of shelf life, the Products must carry at least [***] months of shelf life when shipped.

Risk of loss or of damage to Products shall remain with Patheon until Products are loaded onto the carrier’s vehicle by Patheon for shipment at the shipping point at which time risk of loss or damage shall transfer to the Client. Patheon shall, in accordance with the Client’s instructions and as agent for the Client, (i) arrange for shipping, including preparing and executing a packing list, so that the Product will be delivered to the delivery address on the delivery date set forth in the applicable Firm Order, with such shipping to be paid by the Client and (ii) at the Client’s risk and expense, obtain any export license or other official authorization necessary to export the Products, including all customs formalities. The Client shall arrange for insurance and shall 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. Patheon shall notify Client in writing at the time of shipment as to the quantity of Product shipped, the anticipated delivery date and confirmation of the carrier. If any order is delayed and is not likely to be delivered to the carrier on time, Patheon shall immediately notify Client and Client may reasonably direct Patheon to ship such order by expedited means of transportation as designated by Client, at [***] expense. If the delay of any order results in substantial back orders to the Client and Patheon caused the delay, [***] shall pay the reasonable additional cost for the expedited transport. In all cases, Products shall be transported in accordance with the Specifications and Applicable Laws, including, but not limited to, cGMPs.

5.5 Invoices and Payment.

          (a) Invoices . Invoices for Products that are shipped to Client 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, but not earlier than the date of shipment of the corresponding Products. Patheon shall also submit to the Client, with each shipment of Products, a duplicate copy of the invoice covering such shipment. Patheon shall also provide the Client with an invoice covering any Inventory or Components which are to be purchased by Patheon pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof. 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 the Client.

          (b) Payment . The Client shall pay undisputed amounts of all invoices within [***] days of the date of postmark or confirmed facsimile or email transmission of the invoice.

          (c) Disputed Amounts . In the event that the Client disputes any amounts under any invoice for Products, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 6.1 (with respect to non-conformance of Products) or otherwise under Article 12. Pending resolution of such dispute, the Client shall be obligated to pay any amounts under such invoice that are not in dispute. Upon resolution of any such dispute in favor of Patheon, the Client shall pay all remaining amounts owing under such invoice within the later of (i) [***] Business days after such resolution or (ii) [***] days after the date of such invoice.

ARTICLE 6.
PRODUCT CLAIMS; RECALLS; ADVERSE EVENTS

6.1 Product Claims.

          (a) Product Claims . The Client has the right to reject and return, at the expense of Patheon, all or any portion of any shipment of Products that deviates from the Specifications or cGMPs, without invalidating any remainder of such shipment. The Client or its designated agent shall inspect the Products manufactured by Patheon upon receipt of such Products and related Certificate(s) of Analysis and shall give Patheon written notice (a “ Deficiency Notice ”) of all claims for Products that deviate from the Specifications or cGMPs within 30 days after the Client’s receipt of such Products and related Certificate(s) of Analysis (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, within 30 days after discovery thereof by the Client, but in no event after the expiration date of the Product). Should the Client fail to provide Patheon with the Deficiency Notice within the applicable 30-day period, then the delivery shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Client on the 30 th day after delivery or discovery, as applicable. Except as set out in Section 6.2, Patheon shall have no liability for any deviations for which Client has failed to provide notice within the applicable 30-day period.

          (b) Determination of Deficiency . Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Patheon shall have 10 days to advise the Client by notice in writing that it disagrees with the contents of such Deficiency Notice. If the Client and Patheon fail to agree within 10 days after Patheon’s notice to the Client as to whether any Products identified in the Deficiency Notice deviate from the Specifications or cGMPs, then the parties shall mutually select an independent laboratory within five days from the parties’ failure to agree, which independent laboratory shall evaluate if the Products deviate from the Specifications or cGMPs. The parties shall cause the independent laboratory to conduct its evaluation as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 30 days from the date of selection of the laboratory. Such evaluation shall be binding on the parties, and if such evaluation certifies that any Products deviate from the Specifications or cGMPs, the Client may reject those Products in the manner contemplated in this Section 6.1. If such evaluation does not so certify in respect of any such Products, then the Client shall be deemed to have accepted delivery of such Products on the date the evaluation is delivered by the independent laboratory to the parties. The expenses of such testing shall be borne by Patheon if the non-conformity with the Specifications or cGMPs is confirmed by the independent laboratory, and otherwise by the Client.

          (c) Patheon Responsibility . In the event the Client rejects Products in accordance with this Section 6.1 and the deviation is determined to arise from Patheon’s failure to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications or cGMPs, Patheon will, at the Client’s election, either: (i) credit the Client’s account for Patheon’s invoice price to

the Client for such defective Products or (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to replace such Products with conforming Products within [***] days’ of the Client’s rejection of the non-conforming Products; provided, however, that Patheon shall [***]. If the Client shall have previously paid for such defective Products, Patheon shall, at the Client’s election, either: (i) refund the invoice price for such defective Products within [***] days’ of the Client’s rejection of the non-conforming Products; (ii) offset such amount against other amounts due to Patheon hereunder; or (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to replace such Products with conforming Products within [***] days’ of the Client’s rejection of the non-conforming Products without the Client being liable for payment therefor under Section 3.1. In connection with the production of any replacement Products under this Section 6.1(c), Patheon’s cost for the procurement of any additional [***] required for the manufacture of such replacement Products shall be limited to the [***]. Nothing in this Section 6.1 shall be construed to limit the rights and remedies available to the Client at law or in equity.

          (d) Shortages . Claims for shortages in the amount of Products shipped by Patheon shall be dealt with as may reasonably be agreed to by the parties. If a shipment of Products, however, contains less than [***] % of the minimum yield performance (as defined in the final Specifications and mutually agreed to by the parties) of the quantity specified in the corresponding Firm Order (the “Shortage Amount”), the Client shall notify Patheon promptly upon such discovery and, in any event, not later than 10 days after receipt of the shipment. Upon receipt of Client’s written request, Patheon shall use commercially reasonable efforts, subject to the availability of Active Materials and Components, to manufacture and ship the Shortage Amount within [***] days provided, however, that Patheon shall [***]. In the event that the Shortage Amount is less than a validated batch size as set forth in Schedule C, then Patheon shall manufacture the next highest validated batch size of the Product (“Shortage Batch”) and package the Shortage Batch, including the Shortage Amount, in accord with the Client’s written instructions. Nothing in this Section 6.1 shall be construed to limit the rights and remedies available to the Client at law or in equity.

6.2 Product Recalls and Returns.

          (a) Records and Notice . Patheon and the Client shall each maintain such records as may be necessary to permit a Recall of any Products delivered to the Client or customers of the Client. Each party shall promptly notify the other by telephone (to be confirmed in writing) of any information which might affect the marketability, safety or effectiveness of the Products and/or which might result in the Recall or seizure of the Products. Upon receiving any such notice or upon any such discovery, each party 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 the Client. “ Recall ” shall mean any action (i) by the Client to recover title to or possession of

quantities of the Products sold or shipped to third parties (including, without limitation, the voluntary withdrawal of Products from the market); or (ii) by any regulatory authorities to detain or destroy any of the Products. Recall shall also include any action by either party to refrain from selling or shipping quantities of the Products to third parties which would have been subject to a Recall if sold or shipped.

          (b) Recalls . In the event (i) any Authority issues a directive, order or, following the issuance of a safety warning or alert with respect to a Product, a written request that any Product be Recalled, (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction orders such a Recall, or (iii) the Client determines that any Product should be Recalled or that a “dear doctor” letter is required relating the restrictions on the use of any Product, Patheon will co-operate as reasonably requested by the Client, having regard to all Applicable Laws.

          (c) Product Returns . The Client shall have the responsibility for handling customer returns of the Products. Patheon shall provide the Client with such assistance as the Client may reasonably request to handle such returns.

          (d) Patheon’s Responsibility . To the extent that a Recall or return results from, or arises out of, a failure by Patheon to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications or cGMPs, Patheon shall be responsible for the documented out-of-pocket expenses of such Recall or return and shall promptly, at the Client’s election, either: (i) refund the invoice price for such Recalled or returned Products; (ii) offset such amount against other amounts due to Patheon hereunder; or (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to replace such Recalled or returned Products with conforming Products within [***] days’ of the Client’s election under this clause (d) without the Client being liable for payment therefor under Section 3.1; provided, however, that Patheon shall [***]. In all other circumstances, Recalls, returns or other corrective actions shall be made at the Client’s direction and cost and expense. In connection with the production of any replacement Products under this clause (d), Patheon’s cost for the procurement of any additional [***] required for the manufacture of such replacement Products shall be limited to the [***].
