ARTICLE 2

PATHEON’S MANUFACTURING SERVICES

2.1 Manufacturing Services.

Patheon will perform the Manufacturing Services for the Territory for the fees specified in Schedules B and C to manufacture Products for Client. Schedule B sets forth a list of cost items that are included in the Price for Products; all cost items that are not included in this list are excluded from the Price and are subject to additional fees to be paid by the Client. Patheon may change the Manufacturing Site for the Products only with the prior written consent of Client. If Manufacturing Services have not started within 12 months of the date of execution of this Agreement, Patheon may amend the fees set out in Schedules B and C in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 hereof. During the Initial Term, Client agrees that it will purchase and Patheon agrees to manufacture at least ***% of Client’s requirements of Products offered for sale by Client in the Territory. Patheon will cooperate with Client to qualify a secondary manufacturing site owned by Patheon or one of its Affiliates. In performing the Manufacturing Services, Patheon and Client agree that:

 

  (a)

Conversion of Active Materials and Components. Patheon will convert Active Materials and Components into Products.

 

  (b)

Quality Control and Quality Assurance. Patheon will perform the quality control and quality assurance testing specified in the Quality Agreement. Batch review and release to Client will be the responsibility of Patheon’s quality assurance group. Patheon will perform its batch review and release responsibilities in accordance with Patheon’s standard operating procedures. Each time Patheon ships Products to Client, it will give Client a certificate of analysis and certificate of compliance or, in the case of packaged Product, a certificate of completion, each in a form to be mutually agreed upon by the parties, including a statement that the batch has been manufactured and tested in accordance with Specifications and cGMPs. Client will have sole responsibility for the release of Products to the market. The form and style of batch documents, including, but not limited to, batch production records, lot packaging records, equipment set up control, operating parameters, and data printouts, raw material data, and laboratory notebooks are the exclusive property of Patheon. Specific Product related information contained in those batch documents is exclusive property of Client.

 

  (c)

Components. Patheon will purchase and test all Components (with the exception of those that are supplied by Client) at Patheon’s expense and as required by the Specifications. With respect to all Components purchased by Patheon for use in the Manufacture of the Products, Patheon will seek to obtain for Client the right to reference the supplier’s Drug Master File (DMF) in connection with Client’s regulatory filings relating to the Products.

 

  (d)

Stability Testing. Patheon will conduct stability testing on the Products in accordance with the protocols set out in the Specifications for the separate fees and during the time periods set out in Schedule C. Patheon will not make any changes to these testing protocols without prior written approval from Client. If a confirmed stability test failure occurs, Patheon will notify Client within one Business Day, after which Patheon and Client will jointly determine the proceedings and methods to be undertaken to investigate the cause of the failure, including which party will bear the cost of the investigation. Patheon will not be liable for these costs unless it has failed to perform the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws. Patheon will give Client copies of all stability test data and results at Client’s request.

  (e)

Packaging. Patheon will package the Products as set out in the Specifications. Client will be responsible for the cost of artwork development. Patheon will determine and imprint the batch numbers and expiration dates for each Product shipped. The batch numbers and expiration dates will be affixed on the Products and on the shipping carton of each Product as outlined in the Specifications and as required by cGMPs. Client may, in its sole discretion, make changes to labels, product inserts, and other packaging for the Products. Those changes will be submitted by Client to all applicable governmental agencies and other third parties responsible for the approval of the Products, as required. Client will be responsible for the cost of labelling obsolescence when changes occur, as contemplated in Section 4.4. Patheon’s name will not appear on the label or anywhere else on the Products unless: (i) required by any Laws; or (ii) Patheon consents in writing to the use of its name.

 

  (f)

Active Materials. Patheon will order the Active Materials on behalf of Client and will manage the Active Materials inventory. Invoices from the Active Materials supplier will be sent directly from the supplier to Client for payment. Patheon will charge Client a handling fee of ***% of the cost of the Active Materials which will be included in the Price for the Products. All shipments of Active Material will be accompanied by certificate(s) of analysis from the Active Material manufacturer confirming the identity and purity of the Active Materials and its compliance with the Active Material specifications. Patheon will test all Active Materials in accordance with Patheon’s then current standard operating procedures.

 

  (g)

Bill Back Items. Bill Back Items will be charged to Client at Patheon’s actual cost plus a ***% handling fee.

 

  (h)

Product Rejection for Finished Product Specification Failure. Internal process specifications will be defined and mutually agreed upon. If Patheon manufactures Product in accordance with the agreed upon process specifications and a batch or portion of batch of Product does not meet a Finished Product Specification, Client will pay Patheon the applicable fee per unit for the non-conforming Product.

2.2 Active Material Yield.

 

  (a)

Reporting. Patheon will give Client a monthly inventory report of the Active Materials held by Patheon (if active manufacturing is taking place during the month) using the inventory report form set out in Schedule H, which will contain the following information for the month:

Quantity Received: The total quantity of Active Materials that complies with the Specifications and is received at the Manufacturing Site during the applicable period.

Quantity Dispensed: The total quantity of Active Materials dispensed at the Manufacturing Site during the applicable period. The Quantity Dispensed is calculated by adding the Quantity Received to the inventory of Active Materials that complies with the Specifications held at the beginning of the applicable period, less the inventory of Active Materials that complies with the Specifications held at the end of the period. The

*CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED AS TO CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT. EACH SUCH PORTION, WHICH HAS BEEN OMITTED HEREIN AND REPLACED WITH AN ASTERISK ***, HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

Quantity Dispensed will only include Active Materials received and dispensed in commercial manufacturing of Products and, for certainty, will not include any (i) Active Materials that must be retained by Patheon as samples, (ii) Active Materials contained in Product that must be retained as samples, (iii) Active Materials used in testing (if applicable), and (iv) Active Materials received or dispensed in technical transfer activities or development activities during the applicable period, including without limitation, any regulatory, stability, validation or test batches manufactured during the applicable period.

Quantity Converted: The total amount of Active Materials contained in the Products manufactured with the Quantity Dispensed (including any additional Products produced in accordance with Section 6.3(a) or 6.3(b)), delivered by Patheon, and not rejected, recalled or returned in accordance with Section 6.1 or 6.2 because of Patheon’s failure to perform the Manufacturing Services in accordance with Specifications, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws.

Within *** days after the end of each Year, Patheon will prepare an annual reconciliation of Active Materials on the reconciliation report form set forth in Schedule I including the calculation of the “Actual Annual Yield” or “AAY” for the Product at the Manufacturing Site during the Year. AAY is the percentage of the Quantity Dispensed that was converted to Products and is calculated as follows:

***

After Patheon has produced a minimum of *** commercial production batches of Product and has produced commercial production batches for at least six months at the Manufacturing Site (collectively, the “Target Yield Determination Batches”), the Parties will mutually agree on the target yield for the Product at the Manufacturing Site (each, a “Target Yield”). The Target Yield Determination Batches will not include any batches that, upon mutual agreement of the parties, were produced in production runs involving technical difficulties or involving an extraordinary loss of Active Materials. Once the Target Yield is established for a given Year, Patheon will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain Actual Annual Yield for each Product equal to or above the applicable Target Yield for such Year. The Target Yield will be revised annually to reflect the actual manufacturing experience as agreed to by the parties.

 

  (b)

Shortfall Calculation. If the Actual Annual Yield falls more than *** percent below the respective Target Yield in a Year, then the shortfall for the Year (the “Shortfall”) will be calculated as follows:

***

 

  (c)

Credit for Shortfall. If there is a Shortfall for a Product in a Year, then Patheon will credit Client’s account for the amount of the Shortfall not later than *** days after the end of the Year.

Each credit under this Section 2.2(c) will be summarized on the reconciliation report form set forth in Schedule I. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, any remaining credit owing under this Section 2.2 will be promptly paid to Client. The Annual Shortfall, if any, will be disclosed by Patheon on the reconciliation report form.

Maximum Credit. Patheon’s liability for Active Materials calculated in accordance with this Section 2.2 for any Product in a Year will not exceed, in the aggregate, the Maximum Credit Value set forth in Schedule D.

 

  (e)

No Material Breach. It will not be a material breach of this Agreement by Patheon under Section 8.2(a) if the Actual Annual Yield is less than the Target Yield if Patheon credits Client for any amount of Shortfall within the time period specified in Section 2.2 (c) above. But if the Annual Yield is more than ***% below the Target Yield, Client will have all rights available to it under Section 8.2.

ARTICLE 3

CLIENT’S OBLIGATIONS

3.1 Payment.

Client will pay Patheon for performing the Manufacturing Services according to the Prices specified in Schedules B and C. These prices may be subject to adjustment under other parts of this Agreement. Client will also pay Patheon for any Bill Back Items.

3.2 Active Materials.

If applicable, Patheon and the Client will reasonably cooperate to permit the import of the Active Materials into the United States. Client’s obligation will include obtaining the proper release of the Active Materials from U.S. Customs and the FDA. Client or Client’s designated broker will be the “Importer of Record” for Active Materials imported into the United States. The Active Materials will be held by Patheon on behalf of Client as set forth in this Agreement. Title to the Active Materials will at all times remain the property of Client. Any Active Materials received by Patheon will only be used by Patheon to perform the Manufacturing Services.

ARTICLE 4

CONVERSION FEES AND COMPONENT COSTS

4.1 First Year Pricing.

The tiered Price and annual stability Price for the Products for the first Year are listed in Schedules B and C and are subject to the adjustments set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.3.

4.2 Price Adjustments – Subsequent Years’ Pricing.

After the first Year of the Agreement, Patheon may adjust the Price effective January 1st of each Year as follows:

 

  (a)

Manufacturing Costs. Patheon may adjust the Price for inflation/deflation, based upon the preliminary number for any increase or decrease in the Producer Price Index ***for *** (“PPI”) published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics in

 

- 10 -


*CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED AS TO CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT. EACH SUCH PORTION, WHICH HAS BEEN OMITTED HEREIN AND REPLACED WITH AN ASTERISK ***, HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

August of the preceding Year compared to the final number for the same month of the Year prior to that, unless the parties otherwise agree in writing. On or about November 1st of each Year, Patheon will give Client a statement setting forth the calculation for the inflation adjustment which may be applied in calculating the Price for the next Year. Patheon’s right to adjust the Price under this Section 4.2(a) only applies to labor and overhead expenses incorporated into the Price, and no other elements of the Price including, without limitation the cost of Components, which are addressed in Sections 4.2(b) and 4.3.

 

  (b)

Component Costs. If Patheon incurs an increase or decrease in Component costs during the Year, it may increase or decrease the Price for the next Year to pass through the new Component costs., On or about November 1st of each Year, Patheon will give Client information about the increase or decrease in Component costs which will be applied to the calculation of the Price for the next Year to reasonably demonstrate that the Price increase is justified. Patheon will not be required to give information to Client that is subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers but Patheon will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consent of its suppliers to disclose pricing information applicable to Client’s Products.

 

  (c)

Pricing Basis. Client acknowledges that the Price in any Year is quoted based upon the Minimum Order Quantity and the Annual Volume specified in Schedule B. The Price is subject to change for the next Year if the specified Minimum Order Quantity is revised downward or if the Annual Volume is not ordered in a Year, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. For greater certainty, if Patheon and Client agree that the Minimum Order Quantity will be reduced or the Annual Volume will not be ordered in a Year whether as a result of a decrease in estimated Annual Volume or otherwise, except for decreases in volume which result from Patheon’s failure to manufacture the Products in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and, as a result of the reduction, Patheon demonstrates to Client that its costs to perform the Manufacturing Services or to acquire the Materials for the Product will increase on a per unit basis (including the amount of the increase), then Patheon may increase the Price by an amount sufficient to absorb the documented increased costs. Patheon acknowledges that Annual Volume which exceeds the highest tier or the forecast provided in Section 5.1(a) may result in greater manufacturing efficiencies and, if these efficiencies are achieved, the fee for Manufacturing Services will be decreased to reflect the greater efficiencies. On or about November 1st of each Year, Patheon will give Client a statement setting forth the information to be applied in calculating those adjustments, if any, for the next Year. Patheon will not be required to give information to Client that is subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers but, at the request of Client, Patheon will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consent of its suppliers to disclose pricing information applicable to Client’s Products.

 

  (d)

Tier Pricing (if applicable). The pricing in Schedule B is set forth in Annual Volume tiers based upon the Client’s volume forecasts under Section 5.1. The Client will be invoiced during the Year for the unit price set forth in the Annual Volume tier based on the *** forecast provided in *** of the previous Year. Within *** days of the end of each Year or of the termination of the Agreement, Patheon will send Client a reconciliation of the actual volume of Product ordered by the Client during the Year with the pricing tiers. If Client has overpaid during the Year, Patheon will issue a credit to the Client for the amount of the overpayment within *** days of the end of the Year or will issue payment to the Client for

 

- 11 -


*CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED AS TO CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT. EACH SUCH PORTION, WHICH HAS BEEN OMITTED HEREIN AND REPLACED WITH AN ASTERISK ***, HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

the overpayment within *** days of the expiration or termination of the Agreement. If Client has underpaid during the Year, Patheon will issue an invoice to the Client under Section 5.6 for the amount of the underpayment within *** days of the end of the Year or of the expiration or termination of the Agreement. If Client disagrees with the reconciliation, the parties will work in good faith to resolve the disagreement amicably. If the parties are unable to resolve the disagreement within *** days, the matter will be handled under Section 12.1.

For all Price adjustments under this Section 4.2, Patheon will deliver to Client on or about *** of each Year a revised Schedule B to be effective for the next Year together with documentation reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that an adjustment is justified as set forth above. The revised fee will be effective for any Product ordered after the end of the then current Year but Client will have the option upon *** days prior written notice to Patheon to source any Component for which the price has increased by more than ***% from the preceding Year.

4.3 Price Adjustments – Current Year Pricing.

During any Year of this Agreement, the Prices set out in Schedule B will be adjusted as follows:

Extraordinary Increases or Decreases in Component Costs. If, at any time during a Year, market conditions result in Patheon’s cost of Components being materially greater or less than normal forecasted increases or decreases, then the parties will be entitled to an adjustment to the Price for any affected Product to compensate it for the increased or decreased Component costs. Changes materially greater or less than normal forecasted increases will have occurred if: (i) the cost of a Component increases or decreases 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 or decreases by ***% of the total Component costs for the Product upon which the most recent fee quote was based. If Component costs have been previously adjusted to reflect an increase or decrease in the cost of one or more Components, the adjustments set out in (i) and (ii) above will operate based on the last cost adjustment for such Components.

For a Price adjustment under this Section 4.3, Patheon will deliver to Client a revised Schedule B and budgetary pricing information, adjusted Component costs or other documents reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that a Price adjustment based on extraordinary increases in Component costs is justified. Patheon will have no obligation to deliver any supporting documents that are subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers but, at the request of Client, Patheon will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consent of its suppliers to disclose pricing information applicable to Client’s Products. The revised Price will be effective for any Product delivered on or after the first day of the month following Client’s receipt of the revised Schedule B but, upon *** days prior written notice to Patheon, Client will have the right to directly source any Component, the price for which has been increased pursuant to this Section 4.3.

4.4 Adjustments Due to Technical Changes.

Amendments to the Specifications or the Quality Agreement requested by Client will only be implemented following a technical and cost review by Patheon and are subject to Client and Patheon reaching agreement on Price changes, if any, required because of the requested amendment. Amendments to the Specifications, the Quality Agreement, or the Manufacturing Site requested by Patheon will only be implemented following the written approval of Client, the approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The Client will not be deemed to have unreasonably withheld consent if approval of the changes requested by Patheon will increase the Price or result in delays in the delivery of the Products. If Client accepts a proposed Price change, the proposed change in the Specifications will be implemented, and the Price change will become effective, only for those orders of Products that are manufactured under the revised Specifications. In addition, if the amendment to the Specifications has been requested by Client, Client agrees to purchase, at Patheon’s cost (including all costs incurred by Patheon for the purchase and handling of the Inventory), all Inventory used under the “old” Specifications and purchased or maintained by Patheon in order to fill Firm Orders or under Section 5.2, to the extent (i) the Inventory can no longer be used under the revised Specifications, (ii) cannot be utilized by Patheon on behalf of another client, or (iii) cannot be returned to the supplier for a credit or refund. Open purchase orders for Components unique to the Manufacture of the Products and no longer required under any revised Specifications that were placed by Patheon with suppliers in order to fill Firm Orders or under Section 5.2 will be cancelled where possible, and if the orders cannot be cancelled without penalty, will be assigned to and satisfied by Client.

4.5 Multi-Country Packaging Requirements.

If Client decides to have Patheon perform Manufacturing Services for the Product for countries outside of the United States, then Client will inform Patheon of the packaging requirements for each new country and Patheon will prepare a quotation for consideration by Client of any additional Component costs and the change-over fees for the Product destined for each new country. The agreed additional packaging requirements and related packaging costs and change over fees will be set out in a written amendment to this Agreement.

5.1 Orders and Forecasts.

 

  (a)

Rolling *** Forecast. When this Agreement is executed, Client will give Patheon a non-binding *** forecast of the volume of Product that Client expects to order in the first *** of commercial manufacture of the Product. Beginning with Initial Manufacturing Period defined in subsection (b) below, this forecast will then be updated by Client on or before the *** on a rolling forward basis. Client will update the forecast forthwith if it determines that the volumes estimated in the most recent forecast have changed by more than ***%. The most recent *** forecast will prevail.

 

  (b)

Firm Orders for Initial Manufacturing ***. At least *** before the start of commercial manufacture of the Product, Client will update the rolling forecast for the first *** of manufacture of the Product (the “Initial Manufacturing Period”). The first *** of this updated forecast (“Initial Manufacturing ***”) will constitute a firm written order in the

form of a purchase order or otherwise (“First Firm Order”) by Client to purchase and, when accepted by Patheon, for Patheon to manufacture the quantity of the Product. Client may cancel any Batches from the First Firm Order at no cost if notice of cancellation is received by Patheon *** days or more before the scheduled Delivery Date under the First Firm Order. Client may cancel any Batches from the First Firm Order if notice of cancellation is received by Patheon more than *** days but fewer than *** days before the scheduled Delivery Date under the First Firm Order, but Client will pay Patheon $*** for each cancelled batch if Patheon is unable to utilize this production capacity for another client. The parties agree that this payment will be considered liquidated damages for Patheon’s loss of manufacturing capacity due to the Client’s cancellation of manufacturing and will not be considered a penalty. If the First Firm Order is changed or adjusted as described above, then the initial rolling *** forecast will also be adjusted as necessary.

 

  (c)

Firm Orders Thereafter. Before and during the Initial Manufacturing Period, and on a rolling basis during the term of this Agreement, Client will issue an updated *** forecast on or before the *** day of each month. The first *** of this updated forecast will be firm orders. Concurrent with the *** forecast, Client will issue a firm written order in the form of a purchase order or otherwise (“Firm Order”) by Client to purchase and, when accepted by Patheon, for Patheon to manufacture and deliver the agreed quantity of the Products on a date not less than *** from the first day of the month immediately following the date that the Firm Order is submitted. Firm Orders submitted to Patheon will specify Client’s Manufacturing Services purchase order number, quantities by Product type, *** delivery schedule, and any other elements necessary to ensure the timely manufacture and shipment of the Products. The quantities of Products ordered in those written orders will be firm and binding on Client and may not be reduced by Client.

 

  (d)

*** Forecast. On or before the *** day of *** of each Year, Client will give Patheon a written, non-binding *** forecast, broken down by *** for the *** of the forecast, of the volume of each Product Client then anticipates will be required to be manufactured and delivered to Client during the *** period.

 

  (e)

Acceptance of Firm Order. Patheon will accept Firm Orders by sending an acknowledgement to Client within ten Business Days of its receipt of the Firm Order. The acknowledgement will include, subject to confirmation from the Client, the Delivery Date for the Product ordered. The Delivery Date may be amended by agreement of the Parties or as set forth in Sections 2.1(f) or 5.1(b).

5.2 Reliance by Patheon.

(a) Client understands and acknowledges that Patheon will rely on the Firm Orders and rolling forecasts submitted under Sections 5.1(a), (b), and (c) in ordering the Components required to meet the Firm Orders. In addition, Client understands that to ensure an orderly supply of the Components, Patheon may want to purchase the 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 Client. Accordingly, Client authorizes Patheon to purchase Components to satisfy the Manufacturing Services requirements for Products for the first *** contemplated in the most recent forecast given by Client under Section 5.1(a). Patheon may make other purchases of Components to meet Manufacturing Services

requirements for longer periods if agreed to in writing by the parties. The Client will give Patheon written authorization to order Components for any launch quantities of Product requested by Client which will be considered a Firm Order when accepted by Patheon. If Components ordered by Patheon under Firm Orders or this Section 5.2 are not included in finished Products manufactured for Client within *** after the forecasted *** for which the purchases have been made (or for a longer period as the parties may agree) or if the Components have expired during the period, then ***will *** to *** (including *** by ***for the *** of the *** including a ***). But if these Components are used in Products subsequently manufactured for Client or in third party products manufactured by Patheon, *** will *** for *** of *** to ***by***.

(b) If Client fails to take possession or arrange for the destruction of Components within *** of purchase or, in the case of finished Product, within *** of manufacture, Client will pay Patheon $*** per pallet, per *** thereafter for storing the Components or finished Product. Storage fees for Components or Product which contain controlled substances or require refrigeration will be charged at $*** per pallet per ***. Storage fees are subject to a one pallet minimum charge per ***. Patheon may ship finished Product held by it longer than three months to the Client at Client’s expense on *** days written notice to the Client.

5.3 Minimum Orders.

Client may only order Manufacturing Services for batches of Products in multiples of the Minimum Order Quantities as set out in Schedule B. At the request of Client, Patheon will split batches of Products into different packaging configurations, ***to an ***to be ***.

5.4 Shipments.

Shipments of Products will be made EXW (INCOTERMS 2010) Patheon’s shipping point unless otherwise mutually agreed. Risk of loss or of damage to Products will remain with Patheon until Patheon loads the Products onto the carrier’s vehicle for shipment at the shipping point at which time risk of loss or damage will transfer to Client. Patheon will, in accordance with Client’s instructions and as agent for Client, (i) arrange for shipping to be paid by Client and (ii) at Client’s risk and expense, obtain any export licence or other official authorization necessary to export the Products. Client will arrange for insurance and will 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 will be transported in accordance with the Specifications.

5.5 On Time Delivery.

 

(a)

Patheon and the Client understand that there may be uncertainties and necessary adjustments in production schedules during the Initial Manufacturing Period. The parties agree that they will work together closely to expedite deliveries and manage the scheduling of the initial Product launch.

 

(b)

If, after the Initial Manufacturing Period, Patheon is unable to deliver the quantity of Product ordered under a Firm Order on the Delivery Date due to an act or omission by Patheon (a “Late Delivery”), Client will receive a credit from Patheon for the Late Delivery that will be applied against the purchase price under the next Firm Order. The credit will be ***% of the Price of the quantities of Product not delivered by Patheon under the Firm Order on the Delivery Date (i.e., Client Credit = ***in the ***of the ***).

(c)

A Late Delivery will not be a material breach of this Agreement by Patheon for the purposes of Section 8.2. If Patheon has two Late Deliveries in a calendar quarter or four Late Deliveries in a given Year, the parties will meet as necessary to amicably resolve the reasons for the Late Deliveries. If the parties are unable to resolve the matter within 30 days after the second Late Delivery, Client may exercise its right to terminate this Agreement for cause pursuant to Section 8.2(a), without a further opportunity to cure.

 

(d)

For clarity, a Late Delivery will not include any delay in shipment of Product caused by events outside of Patheon’s reasonable control, such as a Force Majeure Event, a delay in delivery of API or Materials supplied by Client, a delay in Product release approval from Client, receipt of non-conforming API or Components supplied by Client or any market driven delays in deliveries from approved vendors.

5.6 Invoices and Payment.

Invoices will be sent by fax or email to the fax number or email address given by Client to Patheon in writing. Invoices will be sent when the Product is manufactured and released by Patheon to the Client. Patheon will also submit to Client, with each shipment of Products, a duplicate copy of the invoice covering the shipment. Patheon will also give Client an invoice covering any Inventory or Components which are to be purchased by Client under Section 5.2 of this Agreement. Each invoice will, to the extent applicable, identify Client’s Manufacturing Services purchase order number, Product numbers, names and quantities, unit price, freight charges, and the total amount to be paid by Client. Client will pay all invoices within *** days of the date thereof. Interest on past due accounts will accrue at ***% per month which is equal to an annual rate of ***%. The Late Delivery credits set forth in this Section 5 are only available to Client if all outstanding undisputed invoices have been paid in full or are within *** days outstanding from the invoice date when the Late Delivery arose.

ARTICLE 6

PRODUCT CLAIMS AND RECALLS

6.1 Product Claims.

(a) Product Claims. Client has the right to reject any portion of any shipment of Products that fails to meet the warranties set forth in Section 9.3 hereof (the “Product Warranties”) or fails to comply with the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws without invalidating any remainder of the shipment. Client will inspect the Products manufactured by Patheon upon receipt and will give Patheon written notice (a “Deficiency Notice”) of all claims for Products that fail to meet the Product Warranties or fail to comply with the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws within *** days after Client’s receipt thereof (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, within 30 days after discovery by Client, but not after the expiration date of the Product). Should Client fail to give Patheon the Deficiency Notice within the applicable *** day period, then the delivery will be deemed to have been accepted by Client on the *** day after delivery or discovery, as applicable. Except as set out in Section 6.3, Patheon will have no liability for any noncompliance or deviations for which it has not received notice within the applicable *** day period.

(b) Determination of Deficiency. Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Patheon will have *** days to advise Client by notice in writing whether it disagrees with the contents of the Deficiency Notice. If Client and Patheon fail to agree within *** days after Patheon’s notice to Client as to whether any Products identified in the Deficiency Notice fail to conform to the Product Warranties or deviate from the

 

- 16 -


*CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED AS TO CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT. EACH SUCH PORTION, WHICH HAS BEEN OMITTED HEREIN AND REPLACED WITH AN ASTERISK ***, HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, then the parties will mutually select an independent laboratory to evaluate if the Products fail to conform to the Product Warranties or deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws. This evaluation will be binding on the parties. If the evaluation certifies that any Products fail to conform to the Product Warranties or deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, Client may reject those Products in the manner contemplated in this Section 6.1 and Patheon will be responsible for the cost of the evaluation. If the evaluation does not so certify for any of the Products, then Client will be deemed to have accepted delivery of the Products on the ***th day after delivery (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, on the ***th day after discovery thereof by Client, but not after the expiration date of the Product) and Client will be responsible for the cost of the evaluation.

(c) Shortages. Quantities actually shipped pursuant to a purchase order may vary from the quantities reflected in the purchase order by up to ***% and still be deemed to be in compliance with the purchase order. Client will only be invoiced and required to pay for the quantities of Product which Patheon actually ships to Client. Upon Client’s request, Patheon will use commercially reasonable efforts to include any quantities ordered but not shipped in the next shipment of Product ordered by Client.

6.2 Product Recalls and Returns.

(a) Records and Notice. Patheon and Client will each maintain records necessary to permit a Recall of any Products delivered to Client or customers of Client. Each party will 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 or which might result in the Recall or seizure of the Products. Upon receiving this notice or upon this discovery, each party will stop making any further shipments of any 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, will be made and implemented by solely Client. “Recall” will mean any action (i) by 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 will 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. If (i) any governmental or regulatory authority issues a directive, order or, following the issuance of a safety warning or alert about a Product, a written request that any Product be Recalled, (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction orders a Recall, or (iii) 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 required by Client, having regard to all Applicable Laws.

(c) Product Returns. Client will have the responsibility for handling customer returns of the Products. Patheon will give Client any assistance that Client may reasonably require to handle the returns.

6.3 Patheon’s Responsibility for Defective and Recalled Products.

(a) Defective Product. If Client rejects Products under Section 6.1 and the deviation is determined to have arisen from Patheon’s failure to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws or for the Product to conform to the Product Warranties, Patheon will credit Client’s account for Patheon’s invoice price for the defective Products. If Client previously paid for the defective Products, Patheon will promptly, at Client’s election, either: (i)

 

- 17 -


*CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED AS TO CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT. EACH SUCH PORTION, WHICH HAS BEEN OMITTED HEREIN AND REPLACED WITH AN ASTERISK ***, HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

refund the invoice price for the defective Products; (ii) offset the amount paid against other amounts due to Patheon hereunder; or (iii) replace the Products with conforming Products without Client being liable for payment therefor under Section 3.1, contingent upon the receipt from Client of all Active Materials required for the manufacture of the replacement Products. For greater certainty, Patheon’s responsibility for any loss of Active Materials in defective Product will be captured and calculated in the Active Materials Yield under Section 2.2.

(b) Recalled Product. If a Recall or return results from, or arises out of, a failure by Patheon to perform the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws or for the Product to conform to the Product Warranties, Patheon will be responsible for the documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Recall or return and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to replace the Recalled or returned Products with new Products as soon as practicable, contingent upon the receipt from Client of all Active Materials required for the manufacture of the replacement Products. For greater certainty, Patheon’s responsibility for any loss of Active Materials in Recalled Product will be captured and calculated in the Active Materials Yield under Section 2.2. If Patheon is unable to replace the Recalled or returned Products (except where this inability results from a failure to receive the required Active Materials) within thirty (30) days, then Client may, at its option, request Patheon to reimburse Client for the price that Client paid to Patheon for Manufacturing Services for the affected Products or purchase such Product from another manufacturer. In all other circumstances, Recalls, returns, or other corrective actions will be made at Client’s cost and expense.

(c) Except as set forth in Sections 6.3(a) and (b) above, Patheon will not be liable to Client nor have any responsibility to Client for any deficiencies in, or other liabilities associated with, any Product manufactured by it, (collectively, “Product Claims”). For greater certainty, Patheon will have no obligation for any Product Claims to the extent the Product Claim (i) is caused by deficiencies in the Specifications, the safety, efficacy, or marketability of the Products or any distribution thereof, (ii) results from a defect in a Component that is not reasonably discoverable by Patheon using the test methods set forth in the Specifications, (iii) results from a defect in the Active Materials or Components supplied by Client that is not reasonably discoverable by Patheon using the test methods set forth in the Specifications, (iv) is caused by actions of third parties occurring after the Product is shipped by Patheon under Section 5.4, (v) is due to packaging design or labelling defects or omissions for which Patheon has no responsibility, (vi) is due to any unascertainable reason despite Patheon having performed the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Product Warranties, Specifications, cGMP’s, and Applicable Laws, or (vii) is due to any other breach by Client of its obligations under this Agreement.

6.4 Disposition of Defective or Recalled Products.

Client will not dispose of any damaged, defective, returned, or Recalled Products for which it intends to assert a claim against Patheon without Patheon’s prior written authorization to do so. Alternatively, Patheon may instruct Client to return the Products to Patheon. Patheon will bear the cost of disposition for any damaged, defective, returned or Recalled Products for which it bears responsibility under Section 6.3. In all other circumstances, Client will bear the cost of disposition, including all applicable fees for Manufacturing Services, for any damaged, defective, returned, or Recalled Products.

6.5 Healthcare Provider or Patient Questions and Complaints.

Client will have the sole responsibility for responding to questions and complaints from its customers. Questions or complaints received by Patheon from Client’s customers, healthcare providers or patients will be promptly referred to Client. Patheon will co-operate as reasonably required to allow Client to determine the cause of and resolve any questions and complaints. This assistance will include

 

- 18 -


*CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED AS TO CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT. EACH SUCH PORTION, WHICH HAS BEEN OMITTED HEREIN AND REPLACED WITH AN ASTERISK ***, HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

follow-up investigations, including testing. In addition, Patheon will give Client all mutually agreed upon information that will enable Client to respond properly to questions or complaints about the Products as set forth in the Quality Agreement. Unless it is determined that the cause of the complaint resulted from a failure by Patheon to perform the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Product Warranties, the Specifications, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws, all costs incurred under this Section 6.5 will be borne by Client.

6.6 Sole Remedy.

Except for the indemnity set forth in Section 10.3 and subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 10.1 and 10.2, the remedies described in this Article 6 will be Client’s sole remedy for any failure by Patheon to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, Applicable Laws, or the Product Warranties.

ARTICLE 7

Each party will 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 will meet not less than quarterly to review the current status of the business relationship and manage any issues that have arisen.

7.2 Governmental Agencies.

Subject to Section 7.8, each party may communicate with any governmental agency, including but not limited to Regulatory Authorities , regarding the Products if, in the opinion of that party’s counsel, the communication is necessary to comply with the terms of this Agreement or the requirements of any law, governmental order or regulation. Unless, in the reasonable opinion of its counsel, there is a legal prohibition against doing so, a party will permit the other party to accompany and take part in any communications with the agency, and to receive copies of all communications from the agency and to review and provide comments on any responses to the communications.

7.3 Records and Accounting by Patheon.

Patheon will keep records of the manufacture, testing, and shipping of the Products, and retain samples of the Products as are necessary to comply with manufacturing regulatory requirements applicable to Patheon relating to the conduct of the Manufacturing Services, as well as to assist with resolving Product complaints and other similar investigations. Copies of the records and samples will be retained for one year following the date of Product expiry, or longer if required by law, at which time Client will be contacted concerning the delivery and destruction of the documents and/or samples of Products. Patheon, on behalf of Client, is responsible for retaining samples of the Products necessary to comply with the legal/regulatory requirements applicable to Client.

7.4 Inspection of Records.

Client may inspect Patheon reports and records relating to this Agreement during normal business hours and with reasonable advance notice, but a Patheon representative must be present during the inspection.

7.5 Client Inspections of Manufacturing Site.

Patheon will give Client reasonable access at mutually agreeable times to the areas of the Manufacturing Site in which the Products are manufactured, stored, tested, handled, or shipped to permit Client to verify that the Manufacturing Services are being performed in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws. But, with the exception of “for-cause” audits, Client will be limited each Year to one cGMP-type audit, lasting no more than two days, and involving no more than two auditors. Client may request additional cGMP-type audits, additional audit days, or the participation of additional auditors subject to payment to Patheon of a fee of $*** for each additional audit day and $*** per audit day for each additional auditor. The right of access set forth in this Section 7.5 will not include a right to access or inspect Patheon’s financial records.

7.6 Regulatory Inspections of Manufacturing Site.

If a Regulatory Authority gives Patheon notice of an inspection of any Manufacturing Site and the inspection relates, in whole or in part, to the Manufacturing Services, Patheon will notify Client within *** Business Day *** hours of receiving the notice and will provide Client with copies of all correspondence or portions of correspondence which relate to the Product. Where reasonably practicable, Client will be given the opportunity to have a representative present at a Manufacturing Site during an inspection by a Regulatory Authority that relates to the Client’s products.

7.7 Reports.

Patheon will supply on an annual basis all Product data in its control, including release test results, complaint test results, and all investigations (in manufacturing, testing, and storage), that Client reasonably requires in order to complete any filing under any applicable regulatory regime, including any Annual Report that Client is required to file with the FDA. At the Client’s request, Patheon will provide a copy of the Annual Product Review Report to the Client at no additional cost. Any additional report requested by Client beyond the scope of cGMPs and customary FDA requirements will be subject to an additional fee to be agreed upon between Patheon and the Client.

7.8 FDA Filings.

(a) Regulatory Authority. Client will have the sole responsibility for filing all documents with all Regulatory Authorities and taking any other actions that may be required for the receipt and/or maintenance of Regulatory Authority approval for the commercial manufacture of the Products. Patheon will assist Client, to the extent consistent with Patheon’s obligations under this Agreement, to obtain Regulatory Authority approval for the commercial manufacture of all Products as quickly as reasonably possible.

(b) Verification of Data. At least *** days prior to filing any documents with any Regulatory Authority that incorporate data generated by Patheon, Client will give Patheon a copy of the documents incorporating this data to give Patheon the opportunity to verify the accuracy and regulatory validity of those documents as they relate to Patheon generated data.

(c) Verification of CMC. At least *** days prior to filing with any Regulatory Authority any documentation which is or is equivalent to the FDA’s Chemistry and Manufacturing Controls (“CMC”) related to any Marketing Authorization, such as a New Drug Application or Abbreviated New Drug Application, Client will give Patheon a copy of the CMC as well as all supporting documents which have been relied upon to prepare the CMC. This disclosure will permit Patheon to verify that the CMC accurately describes the work that Patheon has performed and the manufacturing processes that Patheon will perform under this Agreement. Client will give Patheon copies of all FDA filings at the time of submission which contain CMC information regarding the Product.

(d) Deficiencies. If, in Patheon’s sole discretion, acting reasonably, Patheon determines that any of the information given by Client under clauses (b) and (c) above is inaccurate or deficient in a material manner (the “Deficiencies”), Patheon will notify Client in writing of the Deficiencies. The parties will work together to have the Deficiencies resolved prior to submission of the information to a Regulatory Authority.

(e) Client Responsibility. For clarity, the parties agree that in reviewing the documents referred to in clause (b) above, Patheon’s role will be limited to verifying the accuracy of the description of the work undertaken or to be undertaken by Patheon. Subject to the foregoing, Patheon will not assume any responsibility for the accuracy of any application for receipt of an approval by a Regulatory Authority. The Client is solely responsibility for the preparation and filing of the application for approval by the Regulatory Authorities and any relevant costs will be borne by the Client.

(f) Inspection by Regulatory Authorities. If Client does not give Patheon the documents requested under clause (b) above within the time specified and if Patheon reasonably believes that Patheon’s standing with a Regulatory Authority may be jeopardized, Patheon may, in its sole discretion, delay or postpone any inspection by the Regulatory Authority until Patheon has reviewed the requested documents and is satisfied with their contents.

Patheon will invoice Client for the storage charges as set forth in Section 5.6 of this Agreement.

Any termination or expiration of this Agreement will not affect any outstanding obligations or payments due hereunder prior to the termination or expiration, nor will it prejudice any other remedies that the parties may have under this Agreement or the Capital Expenditure and Equipment Agreement. For greater certainty, termination of this Agreement for any reason will not affect the obligations and responsibilities of the parties under Articles 10 and 11 and Sections 5.4, 5.6, 8.4, 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, and 13.15, all of which survive any termination.

10.3 Patheon.

Patheon agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Client, its directors, officers, employees, and agents harmless against any and all losses, damages, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), claims, demands, judgments and liability to, from and in favour of third parties (other than Affiliates) resulting from, or relating to any claim of personal injury or property damage to the extent that the injury or damage is the result of (i) a breach of this Agreement by Patheon, including, without limitation, any representation or warranty contained herein, (ii) a failure by Patheon to perform the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws, or (iii) Patheon’s infringing or misappropriating any proprietary or confidential information or Third Party Rights in the performance of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the losses, damages, costs, claims, demands, judgments, and liability are due to the negligence or wrongful act(s) of Client, its directors, officers, employees, agents, or Affiliates.

10.4 Client.

Client agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Patheon, its directors, officers, employees, and agents harmless against any and all losses, damages, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), claims, demands, judgments and liability to, from and in favour of third parties (other than Affiliates) resulting from, or relating to (i) any claim of infringement or alleged infringement of any Third Party Rights in the Products, or any portion thereof, or (ii) any claim of personal injury or property damage to the extent that the injury or damage is the result of a breach of this Agreement by Client, including, without limitation, any representation or warranty contained herein, except to the extent that the losses, damages, costs, claims, demands, judgments, and liability are due to the negligence or wrongful act(s) of Patheon, its directors, officers, employees, or agents.

10.6 Reasonable Allocation of Risk.

This Agreement (including, without limitation, this Article 10) is reasonable and creates a reasonable allocation of risk for the relative profits the parties each expect to derive from the Products. Patheon assumes only a limited degree of risk arising from the manufacture, distribution, and use of the Products because Client has developed and holds the marketing approval for the Products, Client requires Patheon to manufacture and label the Products strictly in accordance with the Specifications and Product Warranties, and Client, not Patheon, is best positioned to inform and advise potential users about the circumstances and manner of use of the Products.

ARTICLE 11

CONFIDENTIALITY

11.1 Confidentiality.

The Confidentiality Agreement will apply to all confidential information disclosed by the parties under this Agreement. If the Confidentiality Agreement expires or is terminated prior to the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement will continue to govern the parties’ obligations of confidentiality for any confidential or proprietary information disclosed by the parties hereunder, for the term of this Agreement, as though the Confidentiality Agreement remained in full force and effect.

ARTICLE 12

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

12.1 Commercial Disputes.

If any dispute arises out of this Agreement (other than a dispute under Section 6.1(b) or a Technical Dispute, as defined herein), the parties will first try to resolve it amicably. In that regard, any party may send a notice of dispute to the other, and each party will appoint, within ten Business Days from receipt of the notice of dispute, a single representative having full power and authority to solve the dispute. The representatives will meet as necessary in order to resolve the dispute. If the representatives fail to resolve the matter within one month from their appointment, or if a party fails to appoint a representative within the ten Business Day period set forth above, the dispute will immediately be referred to the Chief Operating Officer (or another officer as he/she may designate) of each party who will meet and discuss as necessary to try to resolve the dispute amicably within 30 days. Should the parties fail to reach a resolution under this Section 12.1, the dispute will be referred to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 13.16.

12.2 Technical Dispute Resolution.

If a dispute arises (other than disputes under Sections 6.1(b) or 12.1) between the parties that is exclusively related to technical aspects of the manufacturing, packaging, labelling, quality control testing, handling, storage, or other activities under this Agreement (a “Technical Dispute”), the parties will make all reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute by amicable negotiations. In that regard, senior representatives of each party will, as soon as practicable and in any event no later than ten Business Days after a written request from either party to the other, meet in good faith to resolve any Technical Dispute. If, despite this meeting, the parties are unable to resolve a Technical Dispute within a reasonable time, and in any event within 30 Business Days of the written request, the Technical Dispute will, at the request of either party, be referred for determination to an expert in accordance with Schedule E. If the parties cannot agree that a dispute is a Technical Dispute, Section 12.1 will prevail. For greater certainty, the parties agree that the release of the Products for sale or distribution under the applicable marketing approval for the Products will not by itself indicate compliance by Patheon with its obligations for the Manufacturing Services and further that nothing in this Agreement (including Schedule E) will remove or limit the authority of the relevant qualified person (as specified by the Quality Agreement) to determine whether the Products are to be released for sale or distribution.

Neither party has, nor will it acquire, any interest in any of the other party’s Intellectual Property unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing. Neither party will use any Intellectual Property of the other party, except as specifically authorized by the other party or as required for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

13.3 Insurance.

Each party will maintain commercial general liability insurance, including blanket contractual liability insurance covering the obligations of that party under this Agreement through the term of this Agreement and for a period of three years thereafter. This insurance will have policy limits of not less than (i) $*** for each occurrence for personal injury or property damage liability; and (ii) $*** in the aggregate per annum for product and completed operations liability. If requested each party will give the other a certificate of insurance evidencing the above and showing the name of the issuing company, the policy number, the effective date, the expiration date, and the limits of liability. The insurance certificate will further provide for a minimum of 30 days’ written notice to the insured of a cancellation of, or material change in, the insurance.

13.4 Independent Contractors.

The parties are independent contractors and this Agreement will not be construed to create between Patheon and Client any other relationship such as, by way of example only, that of employer-employee, principal agent, joint-venturer, co-partners, or any similar relationship, the existence of which is expressly denied by the parties.

13.5 No Waiver.

Either party’s failure to require the other party to comply with any provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of the provision or any other provision of this Agreement, with the exception of Sections 6.1 and 8.2.

13.6 Assignment.

 

  (a)

Patheon may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of Client.

But Client will give Patheon prior written notice of any assignment, any assignee will covenant in writing with Patheon to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Any partial assignment will be subject to Patheon’s cost review of the assigned Products and Patheon may terminate this Agreement or any assigned part thereof, on 18 months’ prior written notice to Client and the assignee if good faith discussions do not lead to agreement on amended Manufacturing Service fees within a reasonable time.

 

  (c)

Despite the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.6, either party may assign this Agreement to any of its Affiliates or to a successor to or purchaser of all or substantially all of its business, but the assignee must execute an agreement with the non-assigning party whereby it agrees to be bound hereunder.

13.7 Force Majeure.

Neither party will be liable for the failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement if the failure is caused by an event beyond that party’s reasonable control, including, but not limited to, strikes or other labor disturbances, lockouts, riots, quarantines, communicable disease outbreaks, wars, acts of terrorism, fires, floods, storms, interruption of or delay in transportation, , lack of or inability to obtain fuel, power or components, or compliance with any order or regulation of any government entity acting within colour of right (a “Force Majeure Event”). A party claiming a right to excused performance under this Section 13.7 will immediately notify the other party in writing of the extent of its inability to perform, which notice will specify the event beyond its reasonable control that prevents the performance. Neither party will be entitled to rely on a Force Majeure Event to relieve it from an obligation to pay money (including any interest for delayed payment) which would otherwise be due and payable under this Agreement.

SCHEDULE E

TECHNICAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Technical Disputes which cannot be resolved by negotiation as provided in Section 12.2 will be resolved in the following manner:

1. Appointment of Expert. Within ten Business Days after a party requests under Section 12.2 that an expert be appointed to resolve a Technical Dispute, the parties will jointly appoint a mutually acceptable expert with experience and expertise in the subject matter of the dispute. If the parties are unable to so agree within the ten Business Day period, or in the event of disclosure of a conflict by an expert under Paragraph 2 hereof which results in the parties not confirming the appointment of the expert, then an expert (willing to act in that capacity hereunder) will be appointed by an experienced arbitrator on the roster of the American Arbitration Association.

2. Conflicts of Interest. Any person appointed as an expert will be entitled to act and continue to act as an expert even if at the time of his appointment or at any time before he gives his determination, he has or may have some interest or duty which conflicts or may conflict with his appointment if before accepting the appointment (or as soon as practicable after he becomes aware of the conflict or potential conflict) he fully discloses the interest or duty and the parties will, after the disclosure, have confirmed his appointment.

3. Not Arbitrator. No expert will be deemed to be an arbitrator and the provisions of the American Arbitration Act or of any other applicable statute (foreign or domestic) and the law relating to arbitration will not apply to the expert or the expert’s determination or the procedure by which the expert reaches his determination under this Schedule E.

4. Procedure. Where an expert is appointed:

 

  (a)

Timing. The expert will be so appointed on condition that (i) he promptly fixes a reasonable time and place for receiving representations, submissions or information from the parties and that he issues the authorizations to the parties and any relevant third party for the proper conduct of his determination and any hearing and (ii) he renders his decision (with full reasons) within 15 Business Days (or another other date as the parties and the expert may agree) after receipt of all information requested by him under Paragraph 4(b) hereof.

 

  (b)

Disclosure of Evidence. The parties undertake one to the other to give to any expert all the evidence and information within their respective possession or control as the expert may reasonably consider necessary for determining the matter before him which they will disclose promptly and in any event within five Business Days of a written request from the relevant expert to do so.

 

  (c)

Advisors. Each party may appoint any counsel, consultants and advisors as it feels appropriate to assist the expert in his determination and so as to present their respective cases so that at all times the parties will co-operate and seek to narrow and limit the issues to be determined.


*CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED AS TO CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT. EACH SUCH PORTION, WHICH HAS BEEN OMITTED HEREIN AND REPLACED WITH AN ASTERISK ***, HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

 

  (d)

Appointment of New Expert. If within the time specified in Paragraph 4(a) above the expert will not have rendered a decision in accordance with his appointment, a new expert may (at the request of either party) be appointed and the appointment of the existing expert will thereupon cease for the purposes of determining the matter at issue between the parties save this if the existing expert renders his decision with full reasons prior to the appointment of the new expert, then this decision will have effect and the proposed appointment of the new expert will be withdrawn.

 

  (e)

Final and Binding. The determination of the expert will, except for fraud or manifest error, be final and binding upon the parties.

 

  (f)

Costs. Each party will bear its own costs for any matter referred to an expert hereunder and, in the absence of express provision in the Agreement to the contrary, the costs and expenses of the expert will be shared equally by the parties.

For greater certainty, the release of the Products for sale or distribution under the applicable marketing approval for the Products will not by itself indicate compliance by Patheon with its obligations for the Manufacturing Services and further that nothing in this Agreement (including this Schedule E) will remove or limit the authority of the relevant qualified person (as specified by the Quality Agreement) to determine whether the Products are to be released for sale or distribution.
