PATHEON’S MANUFACTURING SERVICES

 

2.1 Manufacturing Services.

Patheon will perform the Manufacturing Services for the Territory for the Prices specified in Schedules B and C. Schedule B sets forth a list of cost items that are included or not included in the Price for Products; all cost items that are not included in the Price are subject to additional fees agreed in advance by Client to be paid by the Client if Client requests in writing that Patheon perform such non-included cost items. Patheon may amend the fees set out in Schedules B and C as set forth in Article 4. Patheon may change the Manufacturing Site for the Products only with the prior written consent of Client provided, however that party bearing the cost of any such change will be as discussed by the parties in good faith and must be agreed in advance before Patheon may make any such change. 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 in accordance with the Specifications, the Quality Agreement, Applicable Law (including cGMP) and this Agreement.

 

  (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 including a statement that the Batch has been manufactured and tested in accordance with Specifications, the Quality Agreement and Applicable Law (including cGMPs) and this Agreement. Client will have sole responsibility for the release of Products to the market provided however that Client shall be entitled to rely upon Patheon’s certificate of analysis and certificate of compliance. 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 and any other information pertaining to the Manufacturing Services contained in those batch documents is Client property and shall be made available to Client upon request and as additionally agreed upon by the parties in the Quality Agreement, the Specifications or any other related documentation.

 

  (c) Components. Patheon will purchase and test all Components (with the exception of Client-Supplied Components) at Patheon’s expense and as required by the Specifications.

 

  (d) Stability Testing. If Client elects in writing for Patheon to perform stability testing on the Product during the Term of the Agreement, 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 in accordance with Section 6.3. Patheon will give Client all stability test data and results at Client’s request.

  (e) Packaging and Artwork. At Client’s election (if requested in writing by Client), 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, the Quality Agreement and as required by cGMPs and any other Applicable Laws. 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 Regulatory Authorities and other third parties responsible for the approval of the Products, to the extent required by Applicable Laws. 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. At least 120 days prior to the Delivery Date of Product for which new or modified artwork is required (unless a sooner date is required for compliance with Applicable Laws), Client will provide at no cost to Patheon, final camera ready artwork for all packaging Components to be used in the manufacture of the Product that meet the Specifications. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that Client will be responsible for complying with any and all regulatory requirements for the labeling of the Product, except to the extent such requirements are embodied in the Specifications or the Quality Agreement and Patheon has failed to comply therewith.

 

  (f)

Active Materials and Client-Supplied Components. At least [**] before the scheduled production date (provided Client has received adequate advance notice of such date), Client will deliver the Active Materials and any Client-Supplied Components to the Manufacturing Site DDP (Incoterms 2010), [**], with any VAT paid by Client, in sufficient quantity to enable Patheon to manufacture the desired quantities of Product and to ship Product on the Delivery Date. If Client becomes aware of any potential delay in the delivery of the Active Materials or/and any Client-Supplied Components, it shall promptly notify Patheon of such potential delay and the parties shall jointly evaluate the impact, if any, of such delay on the scheduled production date. If Patheon has provided Client adequate advance notice of the scheduled production date, the Active Materials and/or Client-Supplied Components are not received [**] before the scheduled production date and the parties are [**].

5.2 Reliance by Patheon.

(a) Client understands and acknowledges that Patheon will rely on the Firm Orders and 100% binding portion of the Forecasts submitted under Sections 5.1 (b), 5.1(c), and 5.1(d) in ordering the Components (other than Client-Supplied 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 (other than Client Supplied Components) to satisfy the Manufacturing Services requirements for Products for the 100% binding portion of any Forecast given by Client under Sections 5.1(b), 5.1(c) or 5.1(d) to the extent such purchase is reasonable in light of Patheon’s existing inventory of such Components. Patheon may make other purchases of Components (other than Client Supplied 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.

(b) Client will [**], provided that Patheon has placed open purchase orders for such Components that may not be cancelled and such Components are not used in products manufactured by Patheon for itself or any third party (collectively, “Obsolete Stock”). [**]

(c) If Client fails to take possession or arrange for the destruction of finished Product in the case of the delivery of conforming finished Product not accepted by Client within one month of manufacture and release, Client will pay Patheon [**].

 

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.

 

5.4 Delivery and Shipping.

The Product will be delivered to Client after it has been manufactured and released to the Client by Patheon. Delivery of Products will be made [**]. Risk of loss or of damage to Products will remain [**]. Products will be transported in accordance with the Specifications.

 

5.5 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 issued when the Product is manufactured and released by Patheon to the Client in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, the Specifications, Applicable Laws and the Quality Agreement. 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 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 [**] of the date thereof. If any portion of an invoice is disputed, the Client will pay Patheon for the undisputed amount and the parties will use good faith efforts to reconcile the disputed amount as soon as practicable.

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 does not conform to the Specifications, this Agreement, the Quality Agreement, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws or if there has been a media fill failure at the Manufacturing Site with either an assignable cause affecting the sterility assurance of a Batch or a lack of assignable cause resulting in a lack of sterility assurance of the Batch (“Media Fill Failure”), in each case 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 do not conform to the Specifications, this Agreement, the Quality Agreement, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws within [**] after Client’s receipt thereof (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, [**] after discovery by Client or with respect to a Media Fill Failure, [**] after being notified thereof by Patheon, as applicable, but not after the expiration date of the Product). Should Client fail to give Patheon the Deficiency Notice within the applicable [**] period, then the delivery will be deemed to have been accepted by Client on the [**] after delivery or discovery, as applicable. Patheon will have no liability for any non-conforming Product for which it has not received notice within the applicable [**] period. Responsibility for non-conforming Product shall be in accordance with Section 6.3 below.

(b) Determination of Deficiency. Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Patheon will have [**] to investigate Client’s claims reflected in the Deficiency Notice and advise Client by notice in writing that it disagrees in good faith with the contents of the Deficiency Notice and the reasons therefor. If Client and Patheon fail to agree [**] after Patheon’s notice to Client as to the existence or cause of the non-conformity, then the parties will mutually select an independent laboratory to evaluate if the Products conform to the Specifications, this Agreement, the Quality Agreement, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws and the cause of the non-conformity. This evaluation will be binding on the parties. The cost of the evaluation will be borne by the party responsible for the cost of the non-conforming Product pursuant to Section 6.3 below or, in the case the Product is deemed to be conforming, by Client.

(c) Shortages and Price Disputes. Claims for shortages in the Units of Products shipped by Patheon or a Price dispute will be dealt with by reasonable agreement of the parties, provided, however, that Client’s good faith claims for shortages ascertained by the carrier upon delivery to such carrier by Patheon pursuant to Section 5.4 shall be determinative as to the existence of a shortage.

 

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

 

- 20 -


[**] = Portions of this exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request.

any, will be made and implemented by Client. “Recall” will mean any action (i) by or at the request of 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 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, any Regulatory Authority threatens to prohibit the delivery or use of any Product or any other regulatory reportable event occurs, (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 or its equivalent is required relating the restrictions on the use of any Product, Patheon will notify Client (to the extent it is the party that becomes first aware of such event) and, in any case, Patheon will co-operate as reasonably required by Client, having regard to all applicable laws and regulations.

(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 Responsibility for Defective and Recalled Products.

(a) Defective Product – Client Responsibility. If the parties mutually agree (or in the absence of mutual agreement, a third party laboratory determines pursuant to Section 6.1(b)) that Product fails to conform to the Specifications, this Agreement, the Quality Agreement, cGMPs or Applicable Law and the non-conformity arose other than from a Patheon Factor and Client’s rejection of the Product did not result from a Media Fill Failure, Client shall be responsible for [**].

(b) Defective Product – Patheon Responsibility. If Client rejects Product pursuant to Section 6.1 due to a Media Fill Failure or the parties mutually agree (or in the absence of mutual agreement, a third party laboratory determines pursuant to Section 6.1(b)) that Product fails to conform to the Specifications, this Agreement, the Quality Agreement, cGMPs or Applicable Law and such non-conformity arose from a Patheon Factor, Patheon shall be responsible as follows:

 

If Client previously paid for the non-conforming Product:

 

 

 

[**]:

        [**]

        [**]

  

  

  

If Client has not yet paid for the non-conforming Product:

Applicable Laws and such non-conformity arose from a Patheon Factor, Patheon will be responsible for (i) the [**] (ii) the [**]. In addition, upon Client’s request, Patheon will use its commercially reasonable efforts to replace the Recalled or returned Products with new Products, contingent upon the receipt from Client of all Active Materials and Client-Supplied Components required for the manufacture of the replacement Products subject to payment therefore under Section 3.1. Patheon’s liability under Sections 6.3(c)(i) and (iii) shall not exceed the limitations set forth in Article10.

(d) For clarity, this Section 6.3 shall apply to all non-conforming Product and therefore if the remedies provided in this Section 6.3 result in further non-conforming Product, these sections shall continue to apply.

(e) Except as set forth in Article 6, in Section 5.1(k) and except for the indemnification obligations of Patheon set forth in Art. 10, Patheon will not be liable to Client nor have any responsibility to Client for any non-conformity of any Product manufactured by it.

 

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, which authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld. 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 Adverse Events; Product Quality, Healthcare Provider or Patient Questions and Complaints.

(a) In case Patheon receives or otherwise becomes aware of an Adverse Events complaint, all Adverse Events and Safety Information must be reported to Client within 24 hours (a) by email at Pharmacovigilance@synageva.com or (b) by fax at +1 781 240 8169 or +1 800 880 4785 (from within the US). In case Patheon receives a complaint regarding Products which requires any investigations or tests, Patheon will notify Client 1 Business Day of receipt of such complaint. Client will have the sole responsibility for responding to questions and complaints from its customers but Patheon shall cooperate with Client in connection with any complaint regardless of the source.

(b) Except as set forth in Section 6.5(a), 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. More specifically, Patheon shall be responsible for investigating all complaints directly associated with the Manufacturing Services. This assistance will include follow-up investigations, including testing as deemed necessary to the investigation and reporting results of the investigation and any conclusions to Client. In addition, Patheon will give Client all agreed upon information that will enable Client to respond properly to questions or complaints about the Products as set forth in the Quality Agreement. Subject to the limitations set forth in Art. 10, unless it is determined that the cause of the complaint resulted from one or more of the factors described in Section 6.3(b) above, all reasonable costs incurred under this Section 6.5 will be borne by Client.

ARTICLE 7

CO-OPERATION

 

7.1 Quarterly Review.

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 governmental agencies responsible for granting regulatory approval for the Products, regarding the Products and in the case of Patheon, if in the opinion of Patheon’s legal counsel, the communication is necessary to comply with the terms of this Agreement or the requirements of any law, governmental order or regulation, provided, however, that in the case of Patheon, Patheon must first give reasonable prior written notice to Client of the basis and contents of the proposed communication. Unless, in the reasonable opinion of its legal counsel, there is a legal prohibition against doing so, Patheon will permit Client to accompany and take part in any communications with the agency, and to promptly receive copies of all communications from the agency. To the extent the communication relates directly to the Product, Client shall have the final decision about the content of all such communications as it pertains to the Product.

 

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 required by this Agreement, the Specifications and the Quality Agreement and otherwise as necessary to comply with Applicable Law, as well as to assist with resolving Product complaints and other similar investigations. Unless otherwise agreed to in the Quality Agreement, copies of the records and samples will be retained for one year following the date of Product expiry, or longer if required by law, following which time Client will be contacted concerning the delivery and destruction of the documents and/or samples of Products. Patheon reserves the right to destroy or return to Client, at Client’s sole option and expense, any document or samples for which the retention period has expired provided Client has at least [**] of receipt of notice from Patheon to inform Patheon of its election. Should Patheon not receive any such written notice from Client within the next following [**], then Patheon can arrange for the said return or destruction at its sole discretion, at Client’s reasonable expense. Client is responsible for retaining samples of the Products necessary to comply with the legal/regulatory requirements applicable to Client.

 

7.4 Inspection.

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.

An unredacted version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Commission.

 

7.5 Access.

In addition to access described in Section 2.1(h) above, Patheon will give Client reasonable access at agreed times to the areas of the Manufacturing Site and will ensure that Client has reasonable access to any other facilities in which the Products are manufactured, stored, handled, or shipped to permit Client to (a) verify that the Manufacturing Services are being performed in accordance with the Specifications, the Quality Agreement, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws and Patheon’s obligations hereunder and/or (b) have Client personnel on site to oversee Batch production operations. But, with the exception of “for-cause” audits , Client will be limited each Year to one cGMP-type audit, lasting no more than 3 days, and involving no more than 2 auditors (and, for clarity, the parties agree that Batch production oversight does not constitute a cGMP-type audit). The right of access set forth in Sections 7.4 and 7.5 will not include a right to access or inspect Patheon’s financial records, provided that this shall not limit Patheon’s obligation to provide financial documentation to the extent required by, and subject to, other provisions of this Agreement. Client shall have the right to use third party contractors or other agents, to be approved from time to time by Patheon (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) in connection with such audits who shall be under obligations of confidentiality.

 

7.6 Notification of Regulatory Inspections.

Patheon will notify Client in writing within [**] of being notified of any inspections by any Regulatory Authority or other governmental agency of the Manufacturing Site. In the event such inspection specifically pertains to or involves the Products, including but not limited to a pre-approval inspection of a governmental agency required in connection with Client’s marketing application for the Products, Patheon will allow Client and those of its Representatives approved by Patheon (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) under obligations of confidentiality no less stringent than those contained herein to attend the Manufacturing Site and participate in such parts of the inspection that relate directly to those details of the Product outside of the subject of this Agreement (i.e. the fill finish activities). Patheon will also promptly notify Client in writing of receipt of any form 483’s or warning letters or any other significant regulatory action which Patheon’s quality assurance group determines could impact the regulatory status of the Products.

 

7.7 Reports.

Patheon will supply on an annual and Calendar Quarter basis by a date specified by Client not less than [**] in advance all Product data in its control, including release test results, complaint test results, and all investigations (in manufacturing, testing, and storage), that is required for the Annual Product Review Report or that Client otherwise reasonably requires in order to complete any filing under any applicable regulatory regime or to respond to questions from Regulatory Authorities in response to such filings, including any Annual Report that Client is required to file with the FDA or other Regulatory Authority. Any additional report requested by Client beyond the scope of cGMPs and customary FDA or other regulatory requirements will be subject to an additional fee to be agreed upon between Patheon and the Client.

 

7.8 Regulatory 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the provisions of this Agreement constitute a requirement for

 

- 24 -


[**] = Portions of this exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request.

An unredacted version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Commission.

 

Client to make any such filings or take any such actions, which shall be in Client’s sole discretion. Nor shall the failure of Client to receive any Regulatory Approval be deemed to constitute a breach of Client’s obligations hereunder, subject to Section 5.1(j). 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 the Product as quickly as reasonably possible.

(b) Verification of Data. Prior to filing any documents with any Regulatory Authority that incorporate data generated by Patheon, Client will give Patheon a copy of the relevant portions 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, provided, however, that in the event Patheon has previously reviewed and approved the Patheon-generated data for submission, if Client wants to re-file such data with any Regulatory Authority, it shall previously inform Patheon thereon, but it is not required to re-submit it to Patheon for review even if the data is being submitted to a different source, unless there have been subsequent changes to the Manufacturing Services pursuant to Section 4.4. Patheon requires 10 business days to perform this review, provided that Patheon shall have 5 business days or such other agreed term to perform this review for any submissions under an accelerated assessment, expedited review or for which Client otherwise received less than 60 days to complete its submission, but the parties may agree to a shorter time for the review as reasonably needed.

(c) Verification of CMC. Prior to filing with any Regulatory Agency any documentation which is or is equivalent to the FDA’s Chemistry and Manufacturing Controls (all such documentation herein referred to as “CMC”) related to any Marketing Authorization, such as a Biologic License Application, Client will give Patheon a copy of the relevant sections of the CMC; provided, however, that once Patheon has reviewed the first CMC, Client shall previously inform Patheon thereon, but it is not required to provide Patheon the opportunity for prior review for any subsequent filings, whether to the same or to a different Regulatory Authority, provided that the disclosure in such subsequent filing(s) regarding the work that Patheon has and will perform under this Agreement is substantially to the same as the initial disclosure and there have not been changes to the Manufacturing Services pursuant to Section 4.4. 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. Patheon requires [**] to perform this review, provided that Patheon shall have [**] to perform this review for any submissions under an accelerated assessment, expedited review or for which Client otherwise received less than [**] to complete its submission, but the parties may agree to a [**]. Client will give Patheon copies of all relevant CMC sections contained in 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 (the “Deficiencies”), Patheon will notify Client in writing of the Deficiencies. The parties will work together to have the Deficiencies resolved prior to any pre-approval inspection.

(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 responsible for the preparation and filing of the application for approval by the Regulatory Authority and the fees associated therewith.

ARTICLE 8

TERM AND TERMINATION

 

8.1 Initial Term.

This Agreement will become effective as of the Effective Date and will continue until December 31, 2019 (the “Initial Term”), unless terminated earlier by one of the parties in accordance herewith. This Agreement will automatically renew after the Initial Term for successive terms of 2 Years each, unless either party gives written notice to the other party of its intention to terminate this Agreement at least 2 Years prior to the end of the then current term (each, a “Renewal Term” and collectively with the Initial Term and any other Renewal Term, the “Term”).

(b) Either party at its sole option may immediately terminate this Agreement upon written notice, but without prior advance notice, to the other party if: (i) the other party is declared insolvent or bankrupt by a court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) a voluntary petition of bankruptcy is filed in any court of competent jurisdiction by the other party; or (iii) this Agreement is assigned by the other party for the benefit of creditors.

(c) Client may terminate this Agreement upon [**] prior written notice if any Authority takes any action, or raises any objection, that prevents Client from importing, exporting, purchasing, or selling the Product. But if this occurs, Client must still fulfill all of its obligations under Section 8.4 below and under any Capital Equipment Agreement regarding the Product.

(d) Patheon may terminate this Agreement upon six months’ prior written notice if Client assigns under Section 13.6 any of its rights under this Agreement to an assignee that is: (i) not Credit Worthy; or (ii) is a Patheon Competitor. Patheon may exercise this right within [**] of written notice from Client of such assignment, otherwise such right will be deemed waived.

(e) Client may terminate this Agreement after providing at least [**] prior written notice to Patheon, if it is determined hereunder that Patheon has produced at least [**] Batches which are determined to be non-conforming, rejected due to a Media Fill Failure or a Patheon Factor and/or subject to a Recall pursuant to Article 6 within [**]. Client may exercise this right within [**] of determination of the

triggering event for the sixth Batch, otherwise such right will be deemed waived. In such case, Client may provide that the effective date of the termination will be at a later date (not to exceed 24 months from the notice date) during which period Patheon will continue to perform the Manufacturing Services hereunder until the effective date of the termination.

(f) Client may terminate this Agreement at any time after providing at least [**] prior written notice to Patheon in the event that any of the following events occur: (a) Product is withdrawn from the market in either Europe or the United States; or (b) Client is unable to produce Active Material meeting the relevant specifications for a period of [**].

  (b) other than a termination by Client pursuant to Sections 8.2(a), Client will satisfy the purchase price payable under Patheon’s orders with suppliers of Components, if the orders were made by Patheon in reliance on Firm Orders or in accordance with Section 5.2, to the extent that Patheon’s open purchase orders with its suppliers for such Components cannot be cancelled provided that Patheon deliver any such Components to Client and shall not use any such Components for itself or any third party;

 

  (c) Client acknowledges that no Patheon Competitor will be permitted access to the Manufacturing Site; and

 

  (d) Client will make commercially reasonable efforts, at its own expense, to remove from Patheon site(s), [**], all unused Active Material, Client-Supplied Components, and Components for which Client is obligated to reimburse Patheon pursuant to Section 5.2, undelivered Product, chattels, equipment or other moveable property owned by Client, related to this Agreement and located at a Patheon site or that is otherwise under Patheon’s care and control (“Client Property”). If Client fails to remove the Client Property within [**] following the completion, termination, or expiration of this Agreement, [**] unless otherwise approved in writing by Client.

Except as set forth in Sections 8.4(a) and 8.4(b) above, any termination or expiration of this Agreement will not affect any outstanding obligations or payments due prior to the termination or expiration, nor will it prejudice any other remedies that the parties may have under this Agreement or any related Capital Equipment Agreement. For greater certainty, termination of this Agreement for any reason will not affect the obligations and responsibilities of the parties under Articles 6, 10 and 11 and Sections 3.2(a), 5.4, 5.5, 7.3, 8.4, 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, 13.9, 13.15, 13.16, 13.17 and 13.18, all of which survive any termination.

10.3 Patheon Indemnity.

(a) Patheon agrees to defend, hold harmless and indemnify Client, its Affiliates and its and their officers, directors, employees, and agents against all losses, damages, costs, 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 personal injury or property damage to the extent that the injury or damage is the result of a failure by Patheon to perform the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, the Quality Agreement, this Agreement, cGMPs and Applicable Laws, (ii) Patheon’s breach of Sections 9.3(b), 9.3(c), 9.3(d), 9.3(e), 9.4, 9.5 or 13.2(b) or Article 11, or (iii) Patheon’s breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement if such breach occurred because of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Patheon, or (iv ) Patheon Intellectual Property or any other production activities by Patheon that are not unique to the Product or that do not require the use of Client Intellectual Property that violate or allegedly violate Third Party Rights, in each case, 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 officers, employees, agents, or Affiliates or the other bases for indemnification by Client pursuant to Section 10.4.

(b) If a claim occurs, Client will: (a) promptly notify Patheon of the claim; (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the claim; (c) reasonably cooperate with Patheon in the defense of the claim; and (d) permit Patheon to control the defense and settlement of the claim, all at Patheon’s cost and expense. Patheon shall not enter into any settlement agreement with any third party without the prior written consent of Client, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided such settlement: (i) includes an unconditional release of Client from all liability arising out of such claim; (ii) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of Client; and (iii) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term (other than the fact of payment or the amount of such payment) that in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of Client. The failure to deliver notice to Patheon within a reasonable time after the commencement of any action, to the extent prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, will relieve Patheon of its obligations under this Section 10.3, but the failure to deliver notice to Patheon will not relieve Patheon of any obligation that it may have thereunder otherwise than as stated in this sentence.

 

10.4 Client Indemnity.

(a) Client agrees to defend, hold harmless and indemnify Patheon, its Affiliates, their officers, employees, and agents against all losses, damages, costs, claims, demands, judgments and liability to, from and in favour of third parties (other than Subcontractor and 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, except to the extent arising from (a) Patheon Intellectual Property or (b) any other production activities by Patheon that are not unique to the Product and do not require the use of Client Intellectual Property, or (ii) any claim of personal injury or property damage to the extent that the injury or damage is the result of a material breach of this Agreement by Client, including, without limitation, any representation or warranty contained herein or (iii) the safety of any Product when used in accordance with its labeling, except in each case 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 officers, employees, or agents or the other bases for indemnification by Patheon pursuant to Section 10.3.

(b) If a claim occurs, Patheon will: (a) promptly notify Client of the claim; (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the claim; (c) reasonably cooperate with Client in the defense of the claim; and (d) permit Client to control the defense and settlement of the claim, all at Client’s cost and expense. Client shall not enter into any settlement agreement with any third party without the prior written consent of Patheon, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed,

 

- 31 -


[**] = Portions of this exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request.

An unredacted version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Commission.

 

provided such settlement: (i) includes an unconditional release of Patheon from all liability arising out of such claim;(ii) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of Patheon; and (iii) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term (other than the fact of payment or the amount of such payment) that in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of Patheon. The failure to deliver notice to Client within a reasonable time after the commencement of any action, to the extent prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, will relieve Client of its obligations under this Section 10.4, but the failure to deliver notice to Client will not relieve Client of any obligation that it may have thereunder otherwise than as stated in this sentence.

 

10.5 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 Client, not Patheon, is best positioned to inform and advise potential users about the circumstances and manner of use of the Products.

10.6 Mitigation of Loss and Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, either Party shall be obligated to use reasonable commercial efforts to mitigate the costs, expenses, damages, losses and other forms of financial liability of the other Party pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE 11

CONFIDENTIALITY

 

11.1 Confidential Information.

“Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by the Disclosing Party to the Recipient (whether disclosed in oral, written, electronic or visual form) that is non-public, confidential or proprietary including, without limitation, information relating to the Disclosing Party’s patent and trademark applications, process designs, process models, drawings, plans, designs, data, databases and extracts therefrom, formulae, methods, know-how and other intellectual property, its clients or client confidential information, finances, marketing, products and processes and all price quotations, manufacturing or professional services proposals, information relating to composition, proprietary technology, and all other information relating to manufacturing capabilities and operations. In addition, all analyses, compilations, studies, reports or other documents prepared by any party’s Representatives containing the Confidential Information will be considered Confidential Information. Samples or materials provided hereunder as well as any and all information derived from the approved analysis of the samples or materials will also constitute Confidential Information.

For the purposes of this ARTICLE 11, a party receiving Confidential Information under this Agreement is a “Recipient,” and a party disclosing Confidential Information under this Agreement is the “Disclosing Party.”

An unredacted version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Commission.

 

11.2 Use of Confidential Information.

The Recipient will use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of meeting its obligations under this Agreement. The Recipient will keep the Confidential Information strictly confidential and will not disclose the Confidential Information in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, other than to those of its Representatives who (i) have a need to know the Confidential Information for the purpose of this Agreement; (ii) have been advised of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and (iii) have obligations of confidentiality and non-use to the Recipient no less restrictive than those of this Agreement. Recipient will protect the Confidential Information disclosed to it by using all reasonable precautions to prevent the unauthorized disclosure, dissemination or use of the Confidential Information, which precautions will in no event be less than those exercised by Recipient with respect to its own confidential or proprietary Confidential Information of a similar nature.

 

11.3 Exclusions.

The obligations of confidentiality will not apply to the extent that the information:

(a) is or becomes publicly known through no breach of this Agreement or fault of the Recipient or its Representatives;

(b) is in the Recipient’s possession at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party other than as a result of the Recipient’s breach of any legal obligation;

(c) is or becomes known to the Recipient on a non-confidential basis through disclosure by sources, other than the Disclosing Party, having the legal right to disclose the Confidential Information, provided that the other source is not known by the Recipient to be bound by any obligations (contractual, legal, fiduciary, or otherwise) of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party with respect to the Confidential Information;

(d) is independently developed by the Recipient without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as evidenced by Recipient’s written records; or

(e) is expressly authorized for release by the written authorization of the Disclosing Party.

Any combination of information which comprises part of the Confidential Information are not exempt from the obligations of confidentiality merely because individual parts of that Confidential Information were publicly known, in the Recipient’s possession, or received by the Recipient, unless the combination itself was publicly known, in the Recipient’s possession, or received by the Recipient.

 

11.4 Photographs and Recordings.

Neither party will take any photographs or videos of the other party’s facilities, equipment or processes, nor use any other audio or visual recording equipment (such as camera phones) while at the other party’s facilities, without that party’s express written consent.

 

11.5 Permitted Disclosure.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Recipient may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent required, as advised by legal counsel, in response to a

 

- 33 -


[**] = Portions of this exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request.

An unredacted version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Commission.

 

valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental body or as required by applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule. But the Recipient will advise the Disclosing Party in advance of the disclosure to the extent practicable and permissible by the order, law, regulation or stock exchange rule and any other applicable law, will reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party, if required, in seeking an appropriate protective order or other remedy, and will otherwise continue to perform its obligations of confidentiality set out herein. If any public disclosure is required by law, the parties will consult concerning the form of announcement prior to the public disclosure being made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed so as to preclude Client’s disclosure of Patheon’s Confidential Information to the competent public authorities as may be reasonably necessary to secure from any Regulatory Authority or other governmental agency necessary approvals or licenses or to obtain patents with respect to the Product.

 

11.6 Survival of Confidentiality Obligations.

All obligations of confidentiality and non-use imposed under this agreement shall expire ten (10) years after the expiration or earlier termination of this agreement.

 

11.7 Return of Confidential Information.

Upon the written request of the Disclosing Party, the Recipient will promptly return the Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party or, if the Disclosing Party directs, destroy all Confidential Information disclosed in or reduced to tangible form including any copies thereof and any summaries, compilations, analyses or other notes derived from the Confidential Information except for one copy which may be maintained by the Recipient for its records. The retained copy will remain subject to all confidentiality provisions contained in this Agreement.

 

11.8 Remedies.

The parties acknowledge that monetary damages may not be sufficient to remedy a breach by either party of this Agreement and agree that the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the provisions hereof in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity. These remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for breach of this Agreement but will be in addition to any and all other remedies available at law or in equity.

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)), 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 [**] from receipt of the notice of dispute, a single representative having full power and authority to resolve the dispute. The representatives will meet as necessary in

[**] = Portions of this exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request.

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 [**] 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. 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 13.17.

ARTICLE 13

MISCELLANEOUS

 

13.1 Inventions.

(a) For the term of this Agreement, Client hereby grants to Patheon a non-exclusive, paid-up, royalty-free, non-transferable license solely to Client’s Intellectual Property that is necessary for Patheon’s performance of the Manufacturing Services provided said license is limited solely to uses by Patheon in order to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement and not for use to manufacture product or provide any other service to itself or any third party.

(b) All Intellectual Property generated or derived by Patheon while performing the Manufacturing Services, to the extent it is specific to the development, manufacture, use, or sale of Client’s Product that is the subject of the Manufacturing Services, will be the exclusive property of Client. Patheon shall execute and deliver any documents of assignment or conveyance that may be reasonably requested by Client, to effectuate the ownership rights of Client in such Intellectual Property.

(c) All Patheon Intellectual Property will be the exclusive property of Patheon. Patheon hereby grants to Client a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, paid-up, royalty-free, transferable license to use the Patheon Intellectual Property used or developed by Patheon in performing the Manufacturing Services to enable Client to manufacture, distribute and sell the Product(s) manufactured by Patheon under this Agreement.

(d) Subject to Section 13.1(f), each party will be solely responsible for the costs of filing, prosecution, and maintenance of patents and patent applications on its own Inventions.

(e) Patheon will give Client written notice, as promptly as practicable, of all Inventions conceived by Patheon during the performance of the Manufacturing Services and improvements or other modifications thereto.

(f) Client shall have the worldwide right to control the preparation, prosecution and maintenance of patents covering Client Intellectual Property.

[**] = Portions of this exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request.

An unredacted version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Commission.

 

documents of assignment or conveyance that may be reasonably requested by Client, to effectuate the ownership rights of Client in any Client Intellectual Property, as applicable. Other than as provided under this Agreement, 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.

(b) 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.

(c) In the event Patheon conceives an invention related to the Active Materials or any Client-Supplied Components in the course of activities that are in breach of Patheon’s obligations under Section 2.1(f), 3.2(a), Article 11 and Section 13.2 (b), Client shall be the sole and exclusive owner of such invention and all intellectual property rights therein, and Patheon shall execute and deliver any documents of assignment or conveyance to effectuate the ownership rights of Client in such invention and related intellectual property rights. For the avoidance of doubt, a material breach includes, but is not limited to, a breach of Sections 2.1(f), 3.2(a) or 13.2(b).

 

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. If a party is unable to maintain the insurance policies required under this Agreement through no fault of its own, then the party will forthwith notify the other party in writing and the parties will in good faith negotiate appropriate amendments to the insurance provision of this Agreement in order to provide adequate assurances.

 

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 of this Agreement.

13.6 Assignment.

 

  (a) Patheon may not assign this Agreement or any of its associated rights or obligations without the written consent of Client, this consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Patheon may not arrange for subcontractors to perform specific testing services arising under this Agreement without the written consent of Client. Further it is specifically agreed that, except to the extent explicitly permitted pursuant to Section 2.3, Patheon may not subcontract or delegate any part of the Manufacturing Services under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates or to any third party.

  (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 to which this Agreement relates, 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, defective equipment, 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.

 

13.8 Additional Product.

Additional Products may be added to this Agreement by amendments to this Agreement.

13.12 Other Terms.

No terms, provisions or conditions of any purchase order or other business form or written authorization used by Client or Patheon will have any effect on the rights, duties, or obligations of the parties under or otherwise modify this Agreement, regardless of any failure of Client or Patheon to object to the terms, provisions, or conditions unless the document specifically refers to this Agreement and is signed by both parties.

 

13.13 No Third Party Benefit or Right.

For greater certainty, nothing in this Agreement will confer or be construed as conferring on any third party any benefit or the right to enforce any express or implied term of this Agreement.

 

13.14 Execution in Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, by original, facsimile or “pdf” signature, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

 

13.15 Use of Client Name.

Patheon will not make any use of Client’s name, trademarks or logo or any variations thereof, alone or with any other word or words, without the prior written consent of Client, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

 

13.16 Taxes.

(a) The Client will bear all taxes, duties, levies and similar charges (and any related interest and penalties) (“Tax” or “Taxes”), however designated, imposed as a result of the provision by the Patheon of Services under this Agreement, except:

 

  (i) any Tax based on net income or gross income that is imposed on Patheon and

 

  (ii) any Tax that is recoverable by Patheon in the ordinary course of business for purchases made by Patheon in the course of providing its Services, such as Value Added Tax (as more fully defined in subparagraph (d) below), Goods & Services Tax (“GST”) and similar taxes.

(b) If the Client is required to bear a tax, duty, levy or similar charge under this Agreement by any state, federal, provincial or foreign government, including, but not limited to, Value Added Tax, the Client will pay the tax, duty, levy or similar charge and any additional amounts to the appropriate taxing authority as are necessary to ensure that the net amounts received by Patheon hereunder after all such payments or withholdings equal the amounts to which Patheon is otherwise entitled under this Agreement as if the tax, duty, levy or similar charge did not exist.

(c) Patheon will not collect an otherwise applicable tax if the Client’s purchase is exempt from Patheon’s collection of the tax and a valid tax exemption certificate is furnished by the Client to Patheon.

(d) If subparagraph 13.16 (a)(ii) does not apply, any payment due under this Agreement for the provision of Services to the Client by Patheon is exclusive of value added taxes, turnover taxes, sales taxes or similar taxes, including any related interest and penalties (hereinafter all referred to as “VAT”). If any VAT is payable on a Service supplied by Patheon to the Client under this Agreement, this VAT will be added to the invoice amount and will be for the account of (and reimbursable to Patheon by) the Client. If VAT on the supplies of Patheon is payable by the Client under a reverse charge procedure (i.e., shifting of liability, accounting or payment requirement to recipient of supplies), the Client will ensure that Patheon will not effectively be held liable for this VAT by the relevant taxing authorities or other parties. Where applicable, Patheon will use its reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that its invoices to the Client are issued in such a way that these invoices meet the requirements for deduction of input VAT by the Client, if the Client is permitted by law to do so.

(e) Any Tax that Client pays, or is required to pay, but which Client believes should properly be paid by Patheon pursuant hereto may not be offset against sums due by Client to Patheon whether due pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.

 

13.17 Governing Law.

This Agreement will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of England and the parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts for all matters related to this. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to this Agreement.

 

13.18 Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Anti-Bribery Laws.

Patheon shall comply with the requirements of all applicable anti-bribery legislation both national and foreign, including but not limited to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act (collectively, “Anti-Bribery Laws”) and Patheon has not and will not make, promise or offer to make any payment or transfer anything of value (directly or indirectly) to (i) any individual, (ii) corporation, (iii) association, (iv) partnership, or (v) public body, (including but not limited to any officer or employee of any of the foregoing) who, acting in their official capacity or of their own accord, are in a position to influence, secure or retain any business for and/or provide any financial or other advantage to Client by improperly performing a function of a public nature or a business activity with the purpose or effect of public or commercial bribery, acceptance of or acquiescence in extortion, kickbacks or other unlawful or improper means of obtaining or retaining business. Patheon shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Client and its Affiliates, and its and their directors, officers, employees and agents, from and against any and all losses resulting or arising from any third party claims, actions, proceedings, investigations or litigation relating to or arising from any violation of Anti-Bribery Laws, to the extent such losses resulted from Patheon’s failure to comply with Anti-Bribery Laws.

Supply Chain Assumptions

Patheon will procure components for the manufacture of SBC-102 sterile [**] vials from Patheon qualified suppliers. Should Synageva require Patheon to source any components from specified suppliers, then these suppliers will remain under the Quality audit control of Synageva unless an agreement is reached for Patheon to take on this responsibility.

Components will be supplied by Patheon in accordance with the Specifications. Patheon has issued formal Patheon specifications for each component.

Each lot of incoming components will be sampled and tested according to the Specifications.

If different component specifications for primary packaging are required, these will be subjected to a further evaluation and assessment by Patheon and a mutual agreement between the Parties.

It is assumed the BDS would be provided free issue/released to Patheon by Synageva or its qualified supplier, and that the API will only require ID testing.

The BDS used for the manufacture will be GMP grade and from TSE/BSE certified sources.

Patheon will package drug product vials according to the Specifications.
