Obligations of CRTX |
| |
| 4.1. |
|
CRTX shall promptly provide to Jagotec all and any information
in CRTX’s possession reasonably required by or necessary for
Jagotec to perform its obligations hereunder that is not already in
the possession of Jagotec. |
| |
| 4.2 |
|
In the event that CRTX proposes or intends to amend, alter or
change the Specification as is agreed at the Effective Date (an
“ Amendment ”), CRTX shall duly notify Jagotec
thereof in writing and the date by which the Amendment is to be
implemented. CRTX shall allow sufficient time for Jagotec’s
due implementation of any Amendment which, unless otherwise agreed
by Jagotec in writing shall be not less than [**] days prior to the
anticipated delivery date of Product manufactured in accordance
with such amended Specification; provided however , that, in
the case of Amendments required by the FDA or other Agency
(“Agency Imposed Amendments”), Jagotec shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to implement such Agency Imposed
Amendment immediately or within any timeframe allotted by the FDA
or such Agency, whichever is longer. Any such proposed Amendment,
so notified by CRTX, shall become binding upon Jagotec on the date
specified by CRTX in accordance with the foregoing unless Jagotec
notifies CRTX within [**] Working Days of its receipt of
CRTX’s proposal of its decision not to approve the Amendment
which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld; provided
however , that, in the case of Agency Imposed Amendments,
Jagotec shall not have the right to reject such amendment. Any and
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Jagotec in connection
with the implementation of any Amendment submitted by CRTX shall be
borne exclusively by CRTX. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by
Jagotec and CRTX, if any Agency Imposed Amendment results in a
greater likelihood of Batch recall, rejection or return by CRTX
than would be associated with the |
13
| |
|
Specification agreed at the Effective Date, (i) CRTX shall
bear the cost of such recall, rejection or return and
(ii) CRTX shall waive any rights in relation to
Jagotec’s failure to comply with the Specification from the
date of such Agency Imposed Amendment, each except to the extent
that such recall, rejection or return is due to any proven
negligence or any wilful misconduct of Jagotec, its Affiliates, or
their agents in the performance of their activities under this
Agreement or any breach by Jagotec of its representations,
warranties or obligations pursuant to this Agreement or the Quality
Agreement. Any change to the manufacturing process to take account
of such Amendment shall be reflected in the Fully Allocated
manufacturing cost. |
| |
| 4.3. |
|
CRTX undertakes to supply to Jagotec [**] (a) in the Year
during which the Marketing Approval for the Finished Product is
received from the FDA, a minimum of [**] months supply, and
(b) in each Year thereafter a minimum of [**] months supply of
API as required by Jagotec to manufacture quantities of Product,
including samples for testing and retains. Any and all supply of
API shall be in strict compliance with the requirements set forth
in the Specifications, any applicable Quality Agreement and
Applicable Laws, and shall be delivered DDP (Incoterms 2000) to the

| |
| |
|
The supply of API referred to in this Section will take into
account the following: The production loss is to be determined by
the first [**] full-scale Batches (validation/commercial but
excluding any Batches with an atypical yield caused by a deviation
documented in accordance with the Quality Agreement) and the
percentage agreed by both parties, however, CRTX anticipation is
that, and, unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties, the
production loss should not be greater than [**]% of the Quantity
Dispensed after the first [**] full-scale Batches. |
| |

All supply of API by CRTX hereunder shall be received by
Jagotec sufficiently in advance of the expected delivery date for
the supply of Product ordered by CRTX in accordance with
Section 7.1(b). CRTX shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to deliver such API not later than [**] months prior to such
expected delivery date. In the event that any such supply of API is
received by Jagotec less than such [**] months prior to any
requested delivery date, Jagotec shall have no obligation to
deliver the Product ordered at such delivery date, but shall
nevertheless use commercially reasonable efforts to supply such
Product on or as soon after such delivery date as available
manufacturing and personnel capacities allow taking into account
its other manufacturing commitments. |
| |
| 4.5 |

Reports of serious adverse drug experiences shall be made available
to CRTX within [**] Working Days after Jagotec becomes aware of
such adverse drug experience, or [**] hours if the adverse drug
experience will require a field alert be submitted to the FDA or
any Agency. Upon receipt of any such report of serious adverse drug
experience by either Party, the Parties shall make commercially
reasonable efforts to take mutually agreed actions as appropriate
or required under the circumstances; provided, however, that
nothing contained herein shall be construed as restricting the
right or duty of either Party to make a required report or
submission to the FDA or any Agency, or take any other action that
it reasonably deems to be appropriate or required by Applicable
Law. In any event, the responsibility of making any reports of
adverse drug experience or other required reports to the FDA or any
