1.3

Other capitalized terms are defined in Exhibit A Definitions with some others defined in various other locations.

Section

2 Background

2.3

Elanco and Diamond wish to enter into this Master Agreement in order to facilitate Elanco's engagement of Diamond to supply certain products to Elanco from time to time.

2.4

The Parties conduct business around the globe in their own names or through their respective Affiliates. Affiliates of Elanco or Diamond may opt into the terms of this Agreement or create an independent local agreement incorporating such terms between an Elanco Affiliate and Diamond or between an Elanco Affiliate and a Diamond Affiliate. Parties may opt-in through the use of an opt-in or similar agreement (also known as a Localization Agreement) or through a Supplemental Agreement signed by the respective Parties. This opt-in or Localization Agreement (see Exhibit E Example Localization Agreement) shall be modified to comply with local law or practice.

Section

3 Scope of Agreement

3.1

This Master Agreement covers projects in which Diamond furnishes Elanco products as specified in the respective Supplemental Agreements.

3.2

As soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, and in connection with the creation of any Supplemental Agreements, as applicable, the Parties shall enter into good faith negotiations pertaining to appropriate Quality Agreement(s) ("Quality Agreement") and / or applicable Manufacturing Responsibilities Document(s) ("MRD"). The obligations set forth in the MRD(s) and the Quality Agreement(s), and

Page 1

3.3

any amendments thereto, once executed and delivered, shall become part of, and be incorporated into, this Agreement and the relevant Supplemental Agreement.

3.4

If the terms of the Quality Agreement are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Quality Agreement controls unless:

3.4.1

This Agreement expressly allows this Agreement to supersede the inconsistent term; or

3.4.2

This Agreement clearly expresses the Parties' intent to do so.

3.5

From time to time during the term of the Master Agreement, Diamond and Elanco may enter into Supplemental Agreements consistent with the Supplemental Agreement definition in Exhibit A Definitions for contract manufacturing or packaging of animal health related products.

3.6

The term of this Master Agreement is from October 1, 2014 through June 16, 2023 unless it is terminated earlier.

3.8

If a Supplemental Agreement conflicts with the Master Agreement, unless expressly stated in the Supplemental Agreement, the Master Agreement controls over the conflicting provision of the Supplemental Agreement.

Except to the extent set forth in a Supplemental Agreement, Diamond has no obligation to provide Elanco, and Elanco has no obligation to purchase from Diamond, any Services or Deliverables. Neither Party makes any commitment regarding the number of Supplemental Agreements that will be established or the quantity or value of Services or Deliverables that will be requested, purchased, or provided under this Master Agreement.

At reasonable times, with reasonable advance notice, upon a mutually agreed upon schedule and subject to compliance with all applicable confidentiality provisions herein, Elanco may enter and inspect any premises where Records are maintained or Services are performed as Elanco deems reasonably necessary to accomplish the evaluations and verifications described in the preceding Section, Access to Records. Diamond will cooperate with Elanco to facilitate the evaluation and inspection, and provide reasonable assistance to Elanco, all at Elanco's expense. Elanco will reasonably cooperate with Diamond to mitigate disruption to Diamond's operations.

28.5

Examples of Persons that Elanco may designate include Elanco's independent auditors and representatives of Government Authorities having jurisdiction over Elanco or its activities related to this Agreement.

28.6

Records Subject to Other Provisions of this Agreement. Some Records required by this Section may also fall within the definition of Deliverables or Diamond Technology.

Page 13

Diamond's obligations under this Section do not diminish Diamond's other obligations toward, or Elanco's property rights to, such Records. Diamond's obligations to maintain Records under this Section are extinguished to the extent that Diamond properly satisfies another obligation in this Agreement to deliver or to dispose of such Records.

28.7

Audit Expenses. Elanco will pay its own expenses for any inspection of the Records on Diamond's premises. However, if in any audit, Elanco determines that material issues exist that result, resulted or will result in an overcharge of [***] or more of the invoiced amount for the audited period, Diamond will, within sixty (60) days, reimburse Elanco for its out-of-pocket costs incurred in conducting the audit, in addition to any remedies that Elanco may have for the overcharge (such as a refund). This Section is intended as a fair allocation of audit expenses, not as damages or a penalty.

Section

To the extent allowed by Applicable Law, each Party will provide copies of any proposed disclosure for prior review and comment by the other Party's external corporate communications (public relations) department no less than ten (10) days prior to disclosure. Under no circumstances will either Party use the other Party's logo or other trademark in any such materials or disclosures.

29.3

Risk Allocation

Section

30 Termination, Breach and Remedies

30.1

The naming of a specific remedy does not preclude any other remedy unless the Agreement clearly states that the specified remedy is the sole or exclusive remedy.

30.2

Elanco shall be able to terminate this Agreement without cause on or after June 17, 2018 provided that 1) Elanco provides no less than three (3) years prior Notice to Diamond of its intent to terminate this Agreement, and 2) pays to Diamond on or before the effective date of termination, an early termination fee equal to [***].

30.3

Termination for Breach. Either Party may terminate this Agreement or any Supplemental Agreement hereunder for material breach by written notice to the breaching Party (with a copy to the breaching Party's legal counsel). Termination will be effective ninety (90) days after receipt of the notice unless the breach is cured before that effective date.

Page 14

30.4 Termination related to Anti-Bribery Commitments. Diamond agrees that breach of the Anti-Bribery Laws pursuant to Section 34.1.1 of this Agreement shall be considered a material breach of the Agreement and that Elanco may immediately seek all remedies available under law and equity including termination of this Agreement if it believes, in good faith, that such a breach by Diamond has occurred.

30.5 Termination for Insolvency. Either Party may elect to immediately terminate this Agreement in the event of a commencement by the other Party of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect; or the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of such other Party in a case under any such law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of such other Party, or for any substantial part of the property of such other Party, or ordering the wind-up or liquidation of the affairs of such other Party; or the filing and pendency for thirty (30) days without dismissal of a petition initiating an involuntary case under any such bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law; or the making by such other Party of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or the failure of such other Party generally to pay its debts as such debts become due; or the taking of action by Diamond in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

30.6

In the event that Diamond, at any time during the term of this Agreement, determines that it will be unable to supply Elanco with the full quantity of Product ordered by Elanco in a binding purchase order, in a timely manner, Diamond shall notify Elanco thereof as soon as reasonably practicable following Diamond's determination of such inability or anticipated inability, but in any event, no later than two (2) business days following Diamond's determination. Such notification shall include the reasons and the expected duration of Diamond's inability or anticipated inability to supply Product. Promptly thereafter, but in no event more than five (5) business days after such notification, the Parties shall discuss the matters set forth in such notification. If Diamond fails to delivery ninety percent (90%) of the full quantity of a given Product specified in a purchase order within sixty (60) days after the required delivery date specified therein (other than by reason of a Force Majeure event or Confirmatory Testing), Elanco, at its option, may cancel all or any portion of such purchase order, in which event Elanco shall have no liability with respect to the portion of such purchase order so canceled. The quantities so canceled will reduce the quantities of Product (if any) Elanco is required to purchase from Diamond.

30.7

Each Party acknowledges that monetary damages are inadequate to protect the other Party from a breach or threatened breach of each Party's duty to protect the other Party's Confidential Information and that any such breach will cause irreparable harm to such other Party. Accordingly, such other Party may seek an injunction restraining any breach or threatened breach without having to prove the inadequacy of monetary damages or irreparable harm.

Failure or delay in giving such notice will not affect the right to be indemnified except to the extent that it prejudices the defense of the Claim. If the indemnitor acknowledges that the Claim (if successful) will result in Loss within its obligation to indemnify under this Section, it may assume the defense within fifteen (15) days after receiving the notice of the Claim.

31.5.2

If the indemnitor acknowledges its obligation to indemnify and assumes the defense, it will have both the duty to defend and the right to control the defense. The indemnitor will conduct the defense in a prudent manner and will keep the indemnitee reasonably informed as to the status of the defense. The indemnitee will cooperate with the defense and may retain separate counsel at its own expense to participate in, but not control, the defense. Neither party may settle a Claim without the consent of the other, and that consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

31.5.3

If the indemnitor does not timely assume the defense, the indemnitee will have the right (but no duty) to defend or settle the Claim at the risk of the indemnitor.

General Terms and Conditions

Section

35 Compliance with Law

35.1 In the performance of its Services and obligations under this Agreement, Diamond shall comply with all Applicable Laws, including, but not limited to:

35.1.1

Anti-Bribery Laws. In carrying out their responsibilities under this Agreement, the Parties shall comply with all applicable anti-bribery laws in the countries where the Parties have their principal places of business and where they conduct activities under this Agreement. Additionally, the Parties understand and agree to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, as revised, which generally prohibits the offer, promise, payment or giving of anything of value either directly or indirectly to any government official for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or any improper advantage. For purposes of this section, "government official" means any official, officer, representative, or employee of, including any doctor employed by, any non-U.S. government department, agency or instrumentality (including any government-owned or controlled commercial enterprise), or any official of a public international organization or political party or candidate for political office. Additionally, Elanco represents that neither it nor any of its owners, directors, employees, agents, consultants (A) is a government official, or will directly or indirectly (B) offer to pay, promise to pay or give anything of value to any government official for purposes of (i) influencing any act or decision of such government official in his official capacity; (ii) inducing such government official to do or omit to do any act in violation of the lawful duty of such official; (iii) securing any improper

Page 17

advantage; or (iv) inducing such government official to use his influence with the government or instrumentality thereof to affect or influence any act or decision of the government or such instrumentality with respect to any activities undertaken relating to this Agreement. Additionally, the Parties will make reasonable efforts to comply with requests for information, including answering questionnaires and narrowly tailored audit inquiries, to enable the other Party to ensure compliance with applicable anti-bribery laws.

35.2 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the parties expressly agree that the provisions of the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act and the United Nations convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (including any provision of any state law adopting exactly, or in modified form, such laws) shall not apply to this Agreement, Supplemental Agreement, Purchase Order, Work Product, Deliverables, software services, or products provided hereunder and that both parties waive any and all rights arising from such laws.

35.3

The Parties acknowledge that each maintains its own financial authorization policies on ensuring requisite corporate authority has been given for specific transactions. The Parties therefore agree that any communications between the employees of the Parties that may impact previously agreed upon financial, economic or legal expectations under this Agreement must be approved by the authorized individuals of both Parties. The Parties further agree to periodically meet and/or enter into discussions to identify authorized individuals as well as take any corrective actions necessary for any past discrepancies in order to meet appropriate financial expectations for potential future transactions.

Section

36 Taxes

36.1 Payment of Taxes. Each Party will be responsible for its own taxes, including Property Taxes on property it owns or leases, Income Taxes on its business and, any other Taxes incurred by such Party in connection with its business and with performing its obligations hereunder. Elanco will be responsible for any Transaction Taxes properly collectible from Elanco under Applicable Law. Diamond will be responsible for payment of any Transaction Taxes that are, under Applicable Law, properly borne by Diamond. The calculation of Taxes shall not include, and Elanco shall not pay, any Taxes that are related to intra-corporate transfers or intermediate supplies of the Services between Diamond and its Affiliates or between Diamond's Affiliates and related entities.

36.2 Recoverable Taxes. Each Party shall make all reasonable efforts to recover any and all VAT (or similar taxes) incurred by it in performing its obligations under this Agreement. Each Party will pay all unrecoverable VAT (or similar taxes) unless otherwise agreed in the applicable Supplemental Agreement. If any Governmental Authority refunds any Transaction Tax to either Party which the other Party or its Affiliates originally paid to such Party in accordance with the Section above, or such Party otherwise becomes aware that any such Transaction Tax was incorrectly and/or erroneously collected from such other Party or its Affiliates, or such Party otherwise receives an economic benefit (such as an audit offset) as the result of incorrectly and/or erroneously receiving such collected Transaction Taxes from such other Party, then such Party shall promptly remit to such other Party the amount of refund or tax erroneously or incorrectly collected.

Page 18

36.3 Withholding Taxes. If any payments made by the Parties under this Agreement become subject to withholding taxes under Applicable Laws of any state, federal, provincial or foreign government, each Party shall be authorized to withhold such Taxes as are required under Applicable Law, pay such Taxes to the appropriate Government Authority, and remit the balance due to the other Party net of such Taxes. The Party paying the taxes to the Government Authority shall secure and promptly deliver to the other Party an official receipt for Taxes paid.

36.4 Taxes Due to Relocation of Services. Any Transactional Taxes assessed on the provision of the Services for a particular site resulting from Diamond's relocating or rerouting the delivery of Services or Deliverables for Diamond's convenience to, from or through a location other than the Diamond's location used to provide the Services as of the Effective Date of the Agreement shall be borne by Diamond.

36.5 Tax Documents and Information. The Parties agree to fully cooperate with each other to enable each Party to more accurately determine its own Tax liability and to minimize such liability to the extent legally permissible and administratively reasonable. Each Party shall provide and make available to the other Party any exemption certificates, resale certificates, information regarding out of state or out of country sales or use of equipment, materials or services, and any other information reasonably requested by the other Party to support the provisions of this Section, including the appropriate organization of invoice formats and supporting documents to allow maximization of reclamation of VAT and other Transaction Taxes paid by either Party.

38.1.4

Either Party may assign any or all of its rights or delegate any or all of its obligations under the Agreement to any of its Affiliates.

38.1.5

Either Party may assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder, on condition that the assignee accepts all remaining obligations under the Agreement, without prior written consent of the other Parties to any successor entity by way of merger, consolidation, or reorganization or to a purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of the assignor to which this Agreement relates.

Section

If a provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, the other provisions will remain in effect.
