In addition, the Supplier shall rectify the incomplete delivery from the Supplier’s own inventory of API by allocating its existing stock among the Purchaser and such other Third Parties to whom the Supplier supplies API on a pro rata basis. If the Supplier allocates API to the Purchaser from the Supplier’s own inventory, the Parties will discuss in good faith how such allocation will be documented and applied toward the Supplier’s obligations under Section 3.3.

3.12 Failure to Supply . If for any reason (including without limitation as a result of negligence, fault or omission of the Supplier or a Force Majeure Event) API is not able to be supplied to the Purchaser or the Eighteen Month Supply is not maintained at the amount required under Section 3.3 (or the Supplier anticipates that API will not be supplied to the Purchaser in accordance with any order placed in accordance with Article 3 or the Eighteen Month Supply will not be maintained at the amount required under Section 3.3), the Supplier shall, as soon as it becomes aware of the fact, give written notice to the Purchaser of the reasons for the shortfall. If the Supplier is in breach of its obligations under Section 3.3 and cannot for any reason whatsoever meet any such shortfall from allocation of Supplier’s existing stock, then the Purchaser may, without prejudice to its other rights and remedies pursuant to the Agreement or available at law, select and qualify a new supplier to manufacture and supply API to the Purchaser, and the reasonable and documented costs of such qualification shall be borne by the
