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 this Section 3.3. The
Purchaser shall be responsible for all storage, insurance and other
costs required to maintain the Eighteen Month Supply; provided,
however, the Supplier shall reimburse the Purchaser for one-third
(1/3) of all such reasonable and documented costs within
thirty (30) days of invoice thereof by the

*Indicates that certain information contained
herein has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities

Supplier, and by the Supplier to supply (or cause to be supplied)
to the Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s Nominated Contract
Manufacturer (as appropriate).
3.5 Confirmation of Firm
Orders . The Supplier shall respond to each Firm Order received
from the Purchaser within thirty (30) days of receipt. The
response shall include confirmation of the delivery dates and
quantity as set out in the Firm Order. In the event that discussion
is required regarding the timing of production and Delivery, then
the relevant planning personnel from both Parties will agree and
confirm any amendments to the Firm Order within ten (10) days
of receipt by the Supplier of the original Firm Order.
3.6 Changes to Firm Orders .
The Supplier shall satisfy the Purchaser’s requirements
pertaining to each Firm Order and, subject to the Supplier’s
rights under the [***] Agreement, shall use Commercially Reasonable
Efforts to satisfy any changes in quantity, Delivery phasing or
dates requested by the Purchaser in respect of such a Firm Order.
In the event that the Supplier becomes aware that any Firm Order
will not be satisfied, then the Supplier shall inform the Purchaser
as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within ten
(10) Business Days. This shall be without prejudice to the
Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement in respect of failure
to meet Firm Orders.
3.7 Shipment . Each lot of
API shall be shipped in reinforced cardboard boxes bagged in foil
laminate pouches that meet U.S. Department of Transportation
requirements per 49 CFR 171 and 178, as applicable, and each
container will be clearly labelled with the weight, name, lot
number, and expiration date. The Purchaser or Purchaser’s
Nominated Contract Manufacturer (as appropriate) shall be provided
with each Delivery the commercial invoice bearing the applicable
order number relating to such Delivery and any other agreed
Delivery documentation. At the Purchaser’s request, the

*Indicates that certain information contained
herein has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested
with respect to the omitted portions.

3.9 Incomplete Delivery . The Purchaser
or, if relevant, Purchaser’s Nominated Contract Manufacturer
shall notify the Supplier as soon as reasonably practicable if
there is an incomplete delivery according to the terms of this
Agreement. If the Supplier is notified by telephone or in person,
then such notification shall be confirmed in writing. The Supplier
shall then be obligated to rectify the incomplete delivery within
sixty (60) days, running from the first date the Supplier
receives such notification, provided this shall be without
prejudice to any other rights or obligations under this Agreement.
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.
3.10 Certificate of Analysis;
Material Safety Data Sheet . At the time of Delivery to the
Purchaser or Purchaser’s Nominated Contract Manufacturer, the
Purchaser shall be provided one (1) completed copy of the
Certificate of Analysis and Material Safety Data Sheet relating to
each batch of API Delivered.
3.11 Discontinuation . The
Supplier shall notify the Purchaser in writing no less than twelve
(12) months prior to such time as [***] may discontinue the
manufacture of the API. The Purchaser shall have the right to
purchase up to 150 additional kilograms of API on or prior to the
effective date of such discontinuance.
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

Supplier. In the event the Purchaser selects and
qualifies a new supplier pursuant to the preceding sentence, at the
Supplier’s written request: (a) the Purchaser and the
Supplier shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to agree to a
mutually acceptable arrangement where the Purchaser supplies the
Supplier some portion of the API received by the Purchaser from
such new supplier; or (b) the Purchaser will use Commercially
Reasonable Efforts to assist the Supplier to obtain the right to
order API directly from such new supplier.
3.13 Secondary Supplier . At
any time while this Agreement is in effect, the Purchaser may
select and qualify a secondary supplier (at the Purchaser’s
sole expense) to manufacture and supply API to the
Purchaser.
3.14 Regular Meetings . In
order to promote efficient and effective supply chain planning, the
appropriate personnel from the Parties’ respective
manufacturing organizations will meet on a regular basis (and in
any event no less than once each year) during the term of this
Agreement to discuss, consider and implement such measures as they
consider appropriate to manage the demand and supply aspects of
this Agreement and review performance.
