ARTICLE 2

PATHEON'S MANUFACTURING services

2.1

Manufacturing Services.

Patheon will perform the Manufacturing Services for the Territory for the fees specified in a Product Agreement in Schedules B and C to manufacture Products for Client or its Affiliate (which shall mean that either Client or its Affiliate would enter into a Product Agreement with Patheon).  Schedule B to a Product Agreement sets forth a list of cost items that are included in the Price for Products; all cost items that are not included in the Price are subject to additional fees to be paid by the Client.  Amendments to the fees set out in Schedules B and C to a Product Agreement will be performed in accordance with the price adjustment mechanisms as set forth in Article 4. Patheon may change the Manufacturing Site for the Products only with the prior written consent of Client. 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)

Master Batch Record.  The Master Batch Record shall be reviewed and approved in writing by Patheon and by Client prior to commencement of Manufacturing Services. Any material change to an approved Master Batch Record shall be reviewed and approved in writing by Patheon and by Client prior to said change being implemented.  Each batch of Product shall be manufactured by using a copy of the Master Batch Record. Each copy of the Master Batch Record for such batch of Product shall be assigned a unique batch number. Any deviation from the manufacturing process specified in the Master Batch Record must be documented in the batch record for that batch.  

 

(c)

Quality Control and Quality Assurance.  Patheon will perform the quality control and quality assurance testing specified in the Quality Agreement and otherwise as required to comply with cGMP.  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, BSE/BTE and melamine statement, and 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 the exclusive property of Client.

 

(d)

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.    

 

(e)

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 to a Product Agreement.  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 [**], after which Patheon and Client will jointly determine the proceedings and methods to be undertaken

- 8 -


Master Manufacturing Services Agreement

 

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 or testing in accordance with the Specifications and cGMPs.  Client shall own all stability test data and results and Patheon will give Client all stability test data and results at Client’s request.  

 

(f)

Packaging and Artwork.  Patheon will package the Products in accordance with the Specifications.  Client will own all artwork and shall be responsible for the cost of artwork development. Specifically, Client will be responsible for supplying Patheon with digital artwork necessary to enable Patheon to supply Products fully finished ready for sale by the Client, incorporating Client’s trademark(s), livery and text.  The Client will also be responsible for the cost of proofing and of production of the printing plates required by Patheon to assemble, package and supply the Products and for the approval of final proofs generated by the printer.  All such artwork, trademarks, livery and text shall be the property of Client and Patheon shall obtain no rights therein.  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 Regulatory Authorities and other third parties responsible for the approval of the Products to the extent required by Applicable Law.  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. If necessary, at least [**] days prior to the Delivery Date of Product for which new or modified artwork is required, Client will provide at no cost to Patheon, final 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.

 

(g)

Active Materials and Client-Supplied Components.  At least [**] days before the scheduled production date, Client will deliver the Active Materials and any Client-Supplied Components to the Manufacturing Site DDP (Incoterms 2010), at no cost to Patheon, with any VAT paid by Client, to enable Patheon to manufacture the desired quantities of Product and to ship Product on the Delivery Date. If the Active Materials and/or Client-Supplied Components are not received [**] days before the scheduled production date, Patheon may delay the shipment of Product by the same number of days as the delay in receipt of the Active Materials and/or Client-Supplied Components.  But if Patheon is unable to manufacture Product to meet this new shipment date due to prior third party production commitments, Patheon may delay the shipment until a later date as agreed to by the parties. All shipments of Active Material will be accompanied by certificate(s) of analysis from the Active Material manufacturer and the Client, confirming the identity and purity of the Active Materials and its compliance with the Active Material specifications. For Active Materials or Client-Supplied Components which may be subject to import or export, Client agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its vendors and carriers to comply with applicable requirements of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Service and the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism.

 

(h)

Validation Activities (if applicable).  Patheon may assist in the development and approval of the validation protocols for analytical methods and manufacturing procedures (including packaging procedures) for the Products.  The fees for this service are not included in the Price and will be set out separately in Schedule C to a Product Agreement.

- 9 -


Master Manufacturing Services Agreement

 

(i)

Storage and Handling.  Patheon shall store and handle Components under appropriate GMP conditions for temperature, humidity, light and cleanliness and in accordance with any storage specifications agreed between the parties.  Patheon shall store and handle the Active Material Product in accordance with the Specifications and under appropriate GMP conditions for temperature, humidity, light and cleanliness.  In addition to the foregoing, Patheon shall store and handle the Active Materials and Products so as to prevent the commingling of same with Patheon’s own inventories and supplies, or those held by Patheon for Third Parties.

 

(j)

Subcontracting.  Patheon shall not subcontract or otherwise delegate any portion of its obligations under this Agreement without Client’s prior written approval other than to its Affiliates as provided for in Section 13.6(a).

 

(k)

Additional Services.  If Client requests services other than those expressly set forth herein or in any Product Agreement (such as qualification of a new packaging configuration or shipping studies, or validation of alternative batch sizes), Patheon will provide a good faith and reasonable written quote of the fee for the additional services and Client will advise Patheon whether it wishes to have the additional services performed by Patheon. The scope of work and fees will be set forth in a separate agreement signed by the parties. The terms and conditions of this Agreement will apply to these services.

2.2

Active Material Yield.  

 

(a)

Reporting.  Patheon will give Client a quarterly inventory report of the Active Materials held by Patheon using the inventory report form set out in Exhibit C, which will contain the following information for the quarter:

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 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 as required under this Agreement (if applicable), and (iv) Active Materials received or dispensed in technical transfer activities or development activities under this Agreement 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 6.1or 6.2 because of Patheon’s failure to perform the Manufacturing Services and supply Product in accordance with Specifications, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws.

Master Manufacturing Services Agreement

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 Exhibit D 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:

 

Quantity Converted during the Yearx   100%

Quantity Dispensed during the Year

After Patheon has produced a minimum of [**] successful commercial production batches if the Manufacturing Site is outside of North America or [**] successful commercial production batches if the Manufacturing Site is in North America of Product and has produced commercial production batches for at least [**] months at the Manufacturing Site (collectively, the "Target Yield Determination Batches"), the parties will agree on the target yield for the Product at the Manufacturing Site (each, a "Target Yield"). The Target Yield will be revised annually to reflect the actual manufacturing experience as agreed to by the parties, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

(b)

Shortfall Credit 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:

Shortfall Credit = [**]

 

(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 Exhibit D. Upon expiration or termination of a Product Agreement, any remaining credit owing under this Section will be paid to Client.  The Annual Shortfall, if any, will be disclosed by Patheon on the reconciliation report form.

 

(d)

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 to a Product Agreement.

 

(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.

Master Manufacturing Services Agreement

3.2

Active Materials and Qualification of Additional Sources of Supply.

 

(a)

Client will at its sole cost and expense deliver the Active Materials to Patheon in accordance with Section 2.1(g). If applicable, Patheon and the Client will reasonably cooperate to permit the import of the Active Materials to the Manufacturing Site. Client’s obligation will include obtaining the proper release of the Active Materials from the applicable Customs Agency and Regulatory Authority. Client or Client’s designated broker will be the “Importer of Record” for Active Materials imported to the Manufacturing Site. 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 for Client hereunder. Client will be responsible for paying for all rejected Product that arises from defects in the Active Materials which (i) could not be reasonably discoverable by Patheon using the test methods set forth in the Specifications; and (ii) are not due to the failure by Patheon to perform the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws or the wilful misconduct of Patheon.

 

(b)

If Client asks Patheon to qualify an additional source for the Active Material or any Component, Patheon shall evaluate the Active Material or Component to be supplied by the additional source to determine if it is suitable for use in the Product. The parties will agree on the scope of work to be performed by Patheon at Client’s cost. For an Active Material, this work at a minimum will include: (i) laboratory testing to confirm the Active Material meets existing specifications; (ii) manufacture of an experimental batch of Product that will be placed on [**] months accelerated stability; and (iii) manufacture of [**] full-scale validation batches that will be placed on concurrent stability (one batch may be the registration batch if manufactured at full scale).

 

(c)

Patheon will promptly advise Client if it encounters supply problems, including delays and/or delivery of non-conforming Active Material or Components from a Client designated additional source; and Patheon and Client will cooperate to reduce or eliminate any supply problems from these additional sources of supply. Client will be obligated to certify all Client designated sources of supply on an annual basis at its expense and will provide Patheon with copies of these annual certifications. If Patheon agrees to certify a Client designated additional sources of supply on behalf of Client, it will do so at Client’s expense.     

ARTICLE 4

CONVERSION fees AND COMPONENT COSTS

4.1

First Year Pricing.

The Price for the first Year will be listed in Schedules B and C in a Product Agreement and will be subject to the adjustments set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.3. Either party may, upon written notice to the other party, request that the Price be increased or decreased if there are changes to the underlying manufacturing, packaging or testing assumptions set forth in Schedule B of the Product Agreement that result in an increase or decrease in the cost of performing the Manufacturing Services. Within [**] days after receipt of such notice, the parties shall meet and negotiate in good faith an adjustment to the Price to reflect such increase or decrease due to the change in assumptions.  The party requesting such adjustment shall provide the other party supporting documentation to substantiate the requested adjustment to Price.

- 12 -


Master Manufacturing Services Agreement

4.2

Price Adjustments Subsequent Years’ Pricing.

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

 

(a)

Manufacturing and Stability Testing Costs. Patheon may adjust the conversion component of the Price and the annual stability testing costs for inflation, based upon the preliminary number for any increase in the inflation index stated in the Product Agreement in 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 before [**] of each Year, Patheon will give Client a statement setting forth the calculation for the inflation adjustment to be applied in calculating the Price for the next Year. In no event shall any increase over the preceding Year pursuant to this Section 4.2(a) exceed [**] percent ([**]%) during the first [**] Years of a Product Agreement.  Thereafter, this restriction shall not apply.

 

(b)

Component Costs.  If Patheon incurs an increase in Component costs during the Year, it may increase the Price for the next Year to pass through the additional Component costs at Patheon’s cost.  On or before [**] of each Year, Patheon will give Client information about the increase 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.  But Patheon will not be required to give information to Client that is subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers.

 

(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 to a Product Agreement.  The Price is subject to change if the specified Minimum Order Quantity changes or if the Annual Volume is not ordered in a Year.  For greater certainty, if Patheon and Client agree that the Minimum Order Quantity will be reduced or the Annual Volume in the lowest tier will not be ordered in a Year whether as a result of a decrease in estimated Annual Volume or otherwise and, as a result of the reduction, Patheon demonstrates to Client that its costs to perform the Manufacturing Services or to acquire the Components 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.  On or before [**] of each Year, Patheon will give Client a statement setting forth the information to be applied in calculating those cost increases for the next Year.  But Patheon will not be required to give information to Client that is subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers.  

 

(d)

Tier Pricing (if applicable). The pricing in Schedule B of a Product Agreement 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 [**] month forecast provided in September of the previous Year.  Within [**] days after 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 after the end of the Year or will issue payment to the Client for the overpayment within [**] days after the termination of the Agreement.  If Client has underpaid during the Year, Patheon will issue an invoice to the Client under Section 5.5 for the amount of the underpayment within [**] days after the end of the Year 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.

Master Manufacturing Services Agreement

 

(e)

For all Price adjustments under this Section 4.2, Patheon will deliver to Client on or before [**] of each Year a revised Schedule B to the Product Agreement to be effective for Product delivered on or after the first day of the next Year. If in any Year Patheon would have been entitled to increase the Price based on any of the provisions of this Section 4.2 but Patheon did not exercise its right to do so, then at the expiry of any subsequent Year, Patheon will be entitled to make cumulative adjustments as set out in Section 4.2 based on changes during all of the preceding Years since Patheon last adjusted the Price.

 

4.2.1

Price Adjustment due to Volume Changes from Yearly Forecast Volumes for Sterile Products.

On the execution of a Product Agreement, Client will give to Patheon a forecast of the volume of Product required for the first [**] Years of the Product Agreement (the “Yearly Forecast Volume” or “YFV”) that will become part of the Product Agreement.  If at the end of the first Year the aggregate actual volume of Product ordered by Client and invoiced by Patheon under Section 5.5 (“Actual Yearly Volume” or “AYV”) during the Year is less than the YFV as set out in the Product Agreement, then Client will pay Patheon for its non-absorbed fixed manufacturing costs incurred during the Year in an amount to be determined as follows:

Amount due to Patheon  =    [**].

On or before [**] of each Year, the parties will agree on the YFV for the next [**] Years of the Product Agreement on a rolling forward basis.  The forecast of the volume of Product for the [**] Year may not vary by more than [**]% from the original YFV for the [**] Year.  Once agreed, the YFV for the next Year will become binding on the parties and any amount due to Patheon will be determined as set forth above.

4.3

Price Adjustments – Current Year Pricing.

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

Extraordinary Increases in Component Costs.  If, at any time, market conditions result in Patheon's cost of Components being materially greater than normal forecasted increases, then Patheon will be entitled to adjust the Price for any affected Product to compensate it for the increased Component costs.  Changes materially greater than normal forecasted increases will have occurred if: (i) the cost of a Component increases by [**]% of the cost for that Component upon which the most recent Price or fee quote was based; or (ii) the aggregate cost for all Components required to manufacture a Product increases 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 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 the Components.

For a Price adjustment under this Section 4.3, Patheon will deliver to Client a revised Schedule B to the Product Agreement and budgetary pricing information, adjusted Component costs or other documents reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that a Price adjustment is justified.  Patheon will have no obligation to deliver any supporting documents that are subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers.  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 to the Product Agreement.

Master Manufacturing Services Agreement

4.4

Adjustments Due to Technical Changes or Regulatory Authority Requirements.

Amendments to the Specifications or the Quality Agreement requested by Client will be implemented only following a technical and cost review that Patheon will perform at Client’s cost and are subject to Client and Patheon reaching agreement on Price changes required because of the 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, conditioned or delayed. If Client accepts a proposed Price change, the proposed change in the Specifications or the Quality Agreement and the associated scope of work will be implemented with the costs to be allocated between the parties as mutually agreed in writing, and the Price change will become effective, only for those orders of Product that are manufactured under the revised Specifications; provided that the parties agree that if such changes are implemented due to a regulatory requirement that applies generally to the Product as well as to other products manufactured by Patheon for itself or for third parties, then Client shall pay a pro rata amount of the reasonable cost of such regulatory changes.  In addition, Client agrees to purchase, at the price paid by Patheon (including all costs incurred by Patheon for the purchase, handling and transport of the Inventory), all Inventory held under the "old" Specifications and purchased or maintained by Patheon in order to fill Firm Orders or under Section 5.2, if the Inventory can no longer be used under the revised Specifications; provided that Patheon shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such costs.  Patheon shall, where possible, cancel open purchase orders for Components 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, but if the orders may not be cancelled without penalty, Client shall pay the lesser of the price for such order or such penalty. Additional payments or price increases may also be agreed to by the parties to compensate Patheon for fees and other expenses incurred by Patheon to comply with Regulatory Authority requirements which apply to the Manufacturing Services.

4.5

Multi-Country Packaging Requirements.  

If Client decides to have Patheon perform Manufacturing Services for the Product for countries outside the Territory, 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 costs for Components (other than Client-Supplied Components) 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.

ARTICLE 5

5.1

Orders and Forecasts.  

 

(a)

Long Term Forecast.  When each Product Agreement is executed, Client will give Patheon a non-binding [**] year forecast of Client’s estimated volume requirements for the Product for each Year during the term of the Product Agreement (the “Long Term Forecast”).  The Long Term Forecast will thereafter be updated every [**] during the Initial Product Term.  If Patheon is unable to accommodate any portion of the Long Term Forecast, it will notify Client and the parties will agree on any revisions to the forecast.

 

(b)

Rolling [**] Forecast.  When each Product Agreement is executed, Client will give Patheon a non-binding [**] forecast of the estimated volume of Product that Client expects to order in the first [**] of commercial manufacture of the Product (“Rolling Forecast”).  The Rolling Forecast will then be updated by Client on or before the [**] on a rolling forward basis.  Client will update the Rolling Forecast if it determines that the volumes estimated in the most recent Rolling Forecast have changed by more than [**] percent ([**]%). The most recent [**] forecast will prevail.

- 15 -


Master Manufacturing Services Agreement

 

(c)

Firm Orders. Unless otherwise agreed in the Product Agreement, the first [**] of the Rolling Forecast will be considered binding firm orders.  The remaining [**] of each Rolling Forecast submitted by Client shall be for planning purposes only, and thus shall not be binding.  Concurrent with the [**] forecast, Client will issue a new 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. The Delivery Date will not be less than [**] days following the date that the Firm Order is submitted. Firm Orders submitted to Patheon will specify Client's purchase order number, quantities by Product type, monthly 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.  Expedited Firm Orders will be subject to additional fees.

 

(d)

Acceptance of Firm Order. Patheon will accept Firm Orders by sending an acknowledgement to Client within [**] Business Days of its receipt of the Firm Order; provided that Patheon may only reject a Firm Order which fails to comply with the requirements of this Article 5 or that is not consistent with the Long Term Forecast.  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. If Patheon fails to acknowledge receipt of a Firm Order within the [**] Business Day period, the Firm Order will be deemed to have been accepted by Patheon.

 

(e)

Cancellation of a Firm Order.  If Client cancels a Firm Order, Client, as its sole liability for such cancellation, will pay Patheon 100% of the Price for the Firm Order.    

 

(f)

Zero Volume Forecast. Once Client has commenced issuing Firm Orders for Product, if Client subsequently forecasts zero volume for [**] period during the term of a Product Agreement (the “Zero Forecast Period”), then Patheon will have the option, at its sole discretion, to provide a [**] day notice to Client of Patheon’s intention to terminate the Product Agreement on a stated day within the Zero Forecast Period.  Client thereafter will have [**] days to either (i) withdraw the zero forecast and re-submit a reasonable volume forecast, or (ii) negotiate other terms and conditions on which the Product Agreement will remain in effect. Otherwise, Patheon will have the right to terminate the Product Agreement at the end of the [**] day notice period.

5.2

Reliance by Patheon.

(a)Client understands and acknowledges that Patheon will rely on the Firm Orders and Rolling Forecasts submitted under Section 5.1(b) 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 Rolling Forecast or to meet the production requirements of any longer period agreed to by Patheon and Client in writing.  Accordingly, Client authorizes Patheon to, and Patheon shall purchase Components to satisfy the Manufacturing Services requirements for Products for the first [**] contemplated in the most recent Rolling Forecast. Patheon may make other purchases of Components to meet Manufacturing Services requirements for longer periods if agreed to in writing by the parties.  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.  

- 16 -


Master Manufacturing Services Agreement

(b)Client will reimburse Patheon for the cost of Components that have expired or that are rendered obsolete due to changes in artwork or applicable regulations during the period (collectively, “Obsolete Stock”). This reimbursement will include Patheon’s cost to purchase (plus a [**]% handling fee) and destroy the Obsolete Stock.

(c)If Client fails to take delivery of conforming finished Product within [**] of manufacture and release testing, Client will pay Patheon $[**] / EURO [**] per pallet, per month thereafter for storing the finished Product.  Storage fees for Product which contain controlled substances or require refrigeration will be charged at $[**] / EURO [**] per pallet per month.  Storage fees are subject to a one pallet minimum charge per month.  

5.3

Minimum Orders.

Client may order Manufacturing Services for batches of Products only in multiples of the Minimum Order Quantities as set out in Schedule B to a Product Agreement.

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 EXW (Incoterms 2010) Patheon’s shipping point unless otherwise agreed in a Product Agreement.  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, at Client’s risk, arrange for shipping to be paid by Client. 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

Invoices and Payment.

Invoices will be sent by email to the 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.  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 undisputed invoices within [**] days after electronic receipt 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.  Interest on undisputed past due accounts will accrue at [**] percent ([**]%) per month which is equal to an annual rate of [**] percent ([**]%).

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 deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, without invalidating any remainder of the shipment.  Client will inspect the Products manufactured by Patheon promptly upon receipt and will give Patheon written notice (a "Deficiency Notice") of all claims for Products that deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, within [**] days after Client’s receipt thereof (or, in the case of

- 17 -


Master Manufacturing Services Agreement

any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, within [**] days after discovery by Client, but not after [**] months following the expiration date of the Product, provided that any notification after the expiration date relates to an underlying event giving rise to a claim that occurred on or before the expiration date).  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.  

(b)Determination of Deficiency.  Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Patheon will have [**] days to advise Client by notice in writing that 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 deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, then the parties will mutually select an independent laboratory to evaluate if the Products deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws.  This evaluation will be binding on the parties. If the evaluation certifies that any Products 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 and Client will be responsible for the cost of the evaluation.

(c)Shortages. Claims for shortages in the amount of Products shipped by Patheon will be dealt with by reasonable agreement of the parties.

(d)Product Rejection for Finished Product Specification Failure. Internal process specifications will be defined and agreed upon.  If Patheon manufactures Product in accordance with the agreed upon process specifications, the batch production record, and Patheon’s standard operating procedures for manufacturing, 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. The API in the non-conforming Product will be included in the “Quantity Converted” for purposes of calculating the “Actual Annual Yield” under Section 2.2(a).

6.2

Product Recalls and Returns.

(a)Records and Notice.  Client shall be solely responsible for determining that a Recall of any Product is appropriate. Patheon and Client will each maintain records necessary to permit a Recall of any Products delivered to Client or customers of Client.  Patheon will promptly notify Client by telephone (to be confirmed in writing) of any information which might affect the marketability, safety, quality or effectiveness of the Products or which might result in the Recall or seizure of the Products.  Client will promptly notify Patheon by telephone (to be confirmed in writing) of any information Client receives which Client reasonably believes may result in the Recall or seizure of the Products. Upon receiving this notice from Client, Patheon 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 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 be 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, (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 to restrictions on the use of any Product, Patheon will co-operate as reasonably required by Client, having regard to all applicable laws and regulations.

- 18 -


Master Manufacturing Services Agreement

(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, or Applicable Laws, 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) 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, (provided that Patheon is able to manufacture replacement Product at the same Manufacturing Site as that of the rejected Products), without Client being liable for payment therefor under Section 3.1, contingent upon the receipt from Client of all Active Materials and Client-Supplied Components 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, or Applicable Laws, Patheon will be responsible for the documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Recall or return and will 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.  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 and Client-Supplied Components), then Client may request Patheon to reimburse Client for the price that Client paid to Patheon for Manufacturing Services for the affected Products.  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 and Sections 6.4 and 6.5 below, 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 but not limitation, Patheon will have no obligation for any Product Claims to the extent the Product Claim solely (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 and not otherwise due to Patheon’s failure to perform the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws or wilful misconduct prior to use of the applicable Component in the performance of the Manufacturing Services, (iii) results from a defect in the Active Materials, Client-Supplied  Components or Components supplied by a Client designated additional source that is not reasonably discoverable by Patheon using the test methods set forth in the Specifications and not otherwise due to Patheon’s failure to perform the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws or wilful misconduct, (iv) is caused by actions of Client or 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, or (vi) is due to any other breach by Client of its obligations under this Agreement.

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 follow-up investigations, including testing.  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.  Unless it is determined that the cause of the complaint resulted from a failure by Patheon to perform the Manufacturing Services and supply Product in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws, all costs incurred under this Section 6.5 will be borne by Client.

6.6

Shortage of Supply; Supply Failure.

(a) Patheon shall notify Client immediately upon becoming aware of an event that would render Patheon unable to supply any quantity of the Product required to be supplied hereunder.  If the event is caused by a breach of this Agreement by Patheon, Patheon shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy such shortage, including allocating a pro-rata portion of any available materials or capacity based on the production of the Product for Client and Patheon’s other uses according to the relative quantities used by each during the immediately preceding [**] prior to such shortage without regard to price; provided, however, that Client shall receive treatment proportionately no less favorable than any of Patheon’s other supply arrangements with respect to allocation of such materials or capacity.

(b) If there is a Supply Deficiency, then, if requested by Client, Patheon shall promptly take one (1) or more of the following steps to remedy the Supply Deficiency, in the following order of preference whenever practicable (i.e., with highest preference given to the remedy in paragraph (i) and the lowest preference given to the remedy in paragraph (iv)): (i) increase the length of a manufacturing campaign at the Manufacturing Site in order to manufacture for Client additional batches that are manufactured in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs and Applicable Laws to remedy the Supply Deficiency (each such Batch, a “Deficiency Cure Batch”); (ii) utilize any appropriately qualified capacity at the Manufacturing Site which is not then contractually committed to the performance of services for Third Party customers during the applicable quarter to manufacture for Client Deficiency Cure Batches; (iii) coordinate and cooperate with Client to re-schedule manufacture batches of Product ordered hereunder in order to maximize Patheon’s ability to manufacture for Client Deficiency Cure Batches while minimizing the disruption of manufacture at the Manufacturing Site then in force and any contractual commitments to Third Party customers; and (iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy the Supply Deficiency in subsequent quarters, if any, by utilizing and dedicating excess capacity not contractually committed to Third Party customers to manufacture Deficiency Cure Batches and to reserve such capacity for Client’s requirements until the issues surrounding the Supply Deficiency have been remedied.  For purposes of this Section 6.6(b), “Supply Deficiency” shall mean the difference between the Product manufactured under Firm Order(s) accepted by Patheon that meet the requirements under this Agreement and the number specified in such Firm Order(s) in the event that Patheon has failed to manufacture the quantities specified in the relevant Firm Order(s) solely as a result of a breach of this Agreement by Patheon (but excluding any failure that relates to a Shortfall provided that Patheon complies with its obligations in Section 2.2(c)).

- 20 -


Master Manufacturing Services Agreement

(c)If Patheon delivers less than [**] percent ([**]%) of the Product ordered by Client pursuant to a Firm Order within [**] days of the agreed-upon Delivery Date(s) in any Rolling Forecast in any [**] periods (calculated on the basis of the aggregate quantity of Product delivered during [**] periods) solely as a result of a breach of this Agreement by Patheon but excluding any failure that relates to a Shortfall provided that Patheon complies with its obligations in Section 2.2(c) (Supply Failure), then (x) obligations relating to the minimum purchase and binding portion of such forecast will cease to apply with respect to the current Rolling Forecast and any subsequent Rolling Forecast and (y) Client shall have the right to purchase all of its requirements of the Product from an alternative supplier, in each case until Patheon has satisfied the requirements of sub-section (i), below. For purposes of this definition, any Product that is non-conforming Product at the time of delivery as a result of a failure by Patheon to perform the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws shall be considered not delivered.

(i) If, after a Supply Failure, Patheon delivers [**]% of the aggregate quantity of Product ordered by Client under Firm Orders within [**] days of the agreed-upon delivery date(s) during a consecutive [**] period as determined by the Firm Order date (the “Cure Period”), the minimum purchase and binding portion obligations will be re-instated, beginning with the first Rolling Forecast delivered by Client after the Cure Period.

(ii) Should Patheon fail to remedy any Supply Failure during the Cure Period, Client may in its sole discretion, transfer any and all volume of the Product previously reflected in the binding portion of its forecast to an alternate supplier.

(d)Section 6.6 shall not apply if the Supply Deficiency, Supply Failure or any other Product shortage is caused by a Force Majeure Event or is attributable in whole or in part to Client or its contractors or to a breach of this Agreement by Client.

6.7

Alternative Supplier.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Client, at anytime during this Agreement, from qualifying an alternate supplier to provide manufacturing services for Product(s); provided, however, that Client otherwise complies all of its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) If Client exercises its option to transfer the manufacture of the Product to an alternate supplier in accordance with Section 6.6(c) Patheon shall reasonably assist Client for a reasonable period of time in such transfer, including providing all Product data and any non-Confidential Information regarding the manufacturing process provided that Client will reimburse Patheon for its fees and all documented costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such assistance (Patheon would provide a quotation for the services that Client requires pursuant to this Section 6.7 and on acceptance by Client of the same and signature by the parties, Patheon will provide the services stated therein).

6.8

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, and Applicable Laws.

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 if, in the opinion of that party's counsel, the communication is necessary to comply with the requirements of any law, governmental order or regulation; provided that, to the extent reasonably practicable, Patheon shall provide Client prompt notice upon its determination and discuss with Client such proposed communication.  Unless, in the reasonable opinion of its 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 receive copies of all communications from the agency.

7.3

Records and Accounting by Patheon.

Patheon will keep records of the Manufacturing Services, including the manufacture, testing, and shipping of the Products, and retain samples of the Products as are necessary to comply with cGMP and other manufacturing regulatory requirements applicable to Patheon, 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 or regulation, following which time Client will be contacted in writing 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 expense, any document or samples for which the retention period has expired if Client fails to arrange for destruction or return within [**] days of receipt of written notice from Patheon.  Client is responsible for retaining samples of the Products necessary to comply with the legal/regulatory requirements applicable to Client.

7.4

Patheon will give Client reasonable access at agreed times to the areas of the Manufacturing Site in which the Products are manufactured, stored, handled, or shipped to permit Client to verify that the Manufacturing Services are being performed in accordance with this Agreement, the Specifications, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws.  But, with the exception of “for-cause” audits, Client or designee will be limited each Year to [**], each audit lasting no more than [**] days, and involving no more than [**].  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 $[**] / EUR [**] for each additional audit day and $[**] / EUR [**] per audit day for each additional auditor.  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.  For each Product,

- 22 -


Master Manufacturing Services Agreement

Patheon will support the first pre- Approval Inspection by the FDA (“PAI”) and all subsequent routine non-PAI FDA inspections or equivalent routine non-PAI regulatory inspection for other jurisdictions (where applicable) and provide a copy of the resulting report at no cost.  Additional PAIs or equivalent support will be subject to additional fees.  

7.6

Notification of Regulatory Inspections.

Patheon will notify Client within [**] of any inspections by any Authority or other governmental agency involving the Products.  Patheon will also notify Client 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 and shall promptly provide Client with Patheon’s plan to correct any deficiencies identified by such Authority (which may be redacted to protect any confidential information of Patheon or any Third Party) and diligently pursue such corrections.

7.7

Reports.

Upon Client’s reasonable request, Patheon will supply 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.  Any additional data or report requested by Client beyond the scope of cGMPs and customary FDA, EMA or Japanese PMDA 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 at Client’s expense 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, distribution and sale of the Products (“Regulatory Approval”).  Patheon will assist Client, to the extent consistent with Patheon’s obligations under this Agreement, to obtain Regulatory Authority approval for the commercial manufacture, distribution and sale of all Products 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 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. Patheon requires [**] days to perform this review but the parties may agree to a shorter time for the review as needed.

 

(c)Verification of CTD.  Prior to filing with any Regulatory Authority any documentation which is or is equivalent to the Quality Module (Drug Product Section) of the Common Technical Document (all such documentation herein referred to as “CTD”) related to any Marketing Authorization, such as a US New Drug Application, US Abbreviated New Drug Application, US Biologics Licence Application, or EU Marketing Authorisation Application, Client will give Patheon a copy of the CTD as well as all supporting documents which have been relied upon to prepare the CTD.  This disclosure will permit Patheon to verify that the CTD accurately describes the validation or scale-up work that Patheon has performed and the manufacturing processes that Patheon will perform under this Agreement.  Patheon requires [**] days to perform this review but the parties may agree to a shorter time for the review as needed. Client will give Patheon copies of all relevant filings which contain CTD 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 any

- 23 -


Master Manufacturing Services Agreement

manner whatsoever (the "Deficiencies"), Patheon will promptly (within [**] business days of discovery) notify Client in writing of the Deficiencies.  The parties will work together to have the Deficiencies resolved prior to the date of filing of the relevant application and in any event before any pre-approval inspection or before the Product is placed on the market if a pre-approval inspection is not performed.

 

(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 any relevant costs will be borne by the Client.

 

(f)Inspection by Regulatory Authorities.  If Client does not give Patheon the documents requested under subsections (b) and (c) above within the time specified and if Patheon reasonably believes that Patheon’s standing with a Regulatory Authority may be jeopardized, Patheon (i) shall so notify Client in writing and (ii) may, in its sole discretion, upon written notice to Client, delay or postpone any inspection by the Regulatory Authority with respect to the Product that is the subject of such documents until Patheon has reviewed the requested documents and is satisfied with their contents.

 

(g)Pharmacovigilance.  Client will be responsible, at its expense, for all pharmacovigilance obligations for the Products pursuant to Applicable Laws; Patheon shall provide Client any safety information it receives related to the Product on a prompt basis.  Unless required by Applicable Law, Client will not be obliged to exchange with the other party any information or data which it compiles pursuant to pharmacovigilance obligations or activities.

 

(h)No Patheon Responsibility.  Patheon will not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or cost of any application for Regulatory Approval. If a Regulatory Authority, or other governmental body, requires Patheon to incur fees, costs or activities in relation to the Products which Patheon considers unexpected and extraordinary, then Patheon will notify Client in writing and the parties will discuss in good faith appropriate mutually acceptable actions, including fee/cost sharing, or termination of all or any part of this Agreement.

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.

“Confidential Information” means any non-public information disclosed by the Disclosing Party to the Recipient (whether disclosed in oral, written, electronic or visual form) that is 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. The terms of this Agreement shall be deemed the Confidential Information of both parties. For the purposes of this ARTICLE 11, a party or its Representative receiving Confidential Information under this Agreement is a “Recipient,” and a party or its Representative disclosing Confidential Information under this Agreement is the “Disclosing Party.”

11.2

Use of Confidential Information.

The Recipient will use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party solely for the purpose of meeting its obligations under this Agreement or exercising its rights under this Agreement.  The Recipient will keep the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party confidential and will not disclose such Confidential Information to any Third Party 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 of the Disclosing Party disclosed to it hereunder by using reasonable precautions to prevent the unauthorized disclosure, dissemination or use of such Confidential Information, which precautions will in no event be less than those exercised by Recipient with respect to its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature.

11.3

Exclusions.

The obligations of confidentiality and non-use will not apply to the extent that the Recipient can establish 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;

- 31 -


Master Manufacturing Services Agreement

(d)is independently developed by the Recipient without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information as evidenced by Recipient’s contemporaneous 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 is 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; provided, however, that Client may photograph or video the Product at any Patheon facility provided that any photograph or video is treated as Confidential Information of Patheon.

11.5

Permitted Disclosure; Publicity.

(a)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Recipient may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent required, as advised by counsel, in response to a valid order of a court or other governmental body or as required by law, regulation or stock exchange rule; provided that (i) 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, (ii) will reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, if required, in seeking an appropriate protective order or other remedy, and (iii) 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.

(b)All publicity, press releases and other announcements relating to this Agreement shall be reviewed in advance by, and subject to the approval of, both parties (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that either party may, to the extent required (i) disclose the terms of this Agreement (with appropriate redactions as described below) insofar as required to comply with applicable securities laws, provided that in the case of such disclosures the Party proposing to make such disclosure notifies the other Party reasonably in advance of such disclosure and cooperates to minimize the scope and content of such disclosure, and (ii) disclose the terms of this Agreement to such party’s professional advisors or existing or potential licensees, investors, acquirers, or merger candidates who are bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use consistent with those set forth herein.  The failure of a Party to respond in writing to a publication proposal from the other party within [**] working days of such party’s receipt of such publication shall be deemed as such party’s approval of such publication as received by such party.  Each party agrees that it shall cooperate fully and in a timely manner with the other with respect to any disclosures to the Securities and Exchange Commission and any other governmental or regulatory agencies, including requests for confidential treatment of Confidential Information of either party included in any such disclosure.  For each such disclosure, (a) the filing party will provide the other party at least [**] business days to review a draft redacted version of this Agreement, and (b) both Parties shall work together in good faith to agree on the disclosure to be made, having due and proper regard to their legal obligations; provided that the filing party shall ultimately retain control over what information to disclose to any securities authority or stock exchange. Each filing party shall use reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment for terms proposed to be redacted.

- 32 -


Master Manufacturing Services Agreement

11.6

Marking.

The Disclosing Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to summarize in writing the content of any oral disclosure or other non-tangible disclosure of its Confidential Information within [**] days of the disclosure, but failure to provide this summary will not affect the nature of the Confidential Information disclosed if the Confidential Information was identified as confidential or proprietary when disclosed orally or in any other non-tangible form.

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.

11.9

Confidentiality Term.  

All obligations of confidentiality and non-use imposed upon the parties under this Agreement shall expire [**] years after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that Confidential Information which constitutes the trade secrets of a party (and is labelled as a trade secret or is otherwise identified in writing as being a trade secret at the time of disclosure or within [**] days thereafter) shall be kept confidential indefinitely, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 11.3 and 11.5.

ARTICLE 12

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

12.1

Commercial Disputes.

(a)If any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any Product 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 [**] Business Days 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 order to resolve the dispute.  If the representatives fail to resolve the matter within [**] from their appointment, or if a party fails to appoint a representative within the [**] 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 [**] days of referral of the matter to the Chief Operating Officer or his/her designee.  Should the parties fail to reach a resolution under this Section 12.1(a), the dispute will be referred to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 13.17.

- 33 -


Master Manufacturing Services Agreement

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 reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute by amicable negotiations.  In that regard, senior representatives of each party will, as soon as possible and in any event no later than [**] 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 [**] 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 Exhibit A.  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 Exhibit A) 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.

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 of Client’s Intellectual Property which Patheon must use in order to perform the Manufacturing Services for Client in accordance with this Agreement.

(b)All Client Intellectual Property will be the exclusive property of Client.  Patheon hereby assigns, and to the extent it cannot presently assign, will assign, to Client all of Patheon’s and its Affiliates’ worldwide right, title and interest, if any, in Client Intellectual Property.  Patheon shall provide reasonable assistance to Client in securing for Client any patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights in such Client Intellectual Property, and shall take such reasonable actions and execute such documents as Client may reasonably request in connection with providing such assistance or otherwise to vest in Client all right, title and interest in such Inventions, including without limitation any and all applications, assignments or other instruments each of the foregoing at the cost of Client.

(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 by Patheon to perform the Manufacturing Services to enable Client to manufacture the Product(s).

(d)Each party will be solely responsible for the costs of filing, prosecution, and maintenance of patents and patent applications on its own Inventions.

13.2

Intellectual Property.

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.

- 34 -


Master Manufacturing Services 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 [**] thereafter.  This insurance will have policy limits of not less than (i) EUR [**] for each occurrence for personal injury or property damage liability; and (ii) EUR [**] 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 and any Product 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 or any Product Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of the provision or any other provision of this Agreement or any Product Agreement.

13.6

Assignment.

 

(a)

Patheon may not assign this Agreement or any Product Agreement or any of its associated rights or obligations without the written consent of Client. Further it is specifically agreed that Patheon may subcontract any part of the Manufacturing Services under a Product Agreement to any of its Affiliates; provided that such Affiliate is identified in the applicable Product Agreement.  Patheon will remain solely liable to Client for its obligations under this Agreement, and for the obligations of the applicable Affiliate of Patheon under the Quality Agreement, if the Manufacturing Services are subcontracted.

 

(b)

Subject to Section 8.2(d), Client may assign this Agreement or any Product Agreement or any of its associated rights or obligations without approval from Patheon. 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 or the Product Agreement.  Client may not perform any partial assignment of this Agreement or any Product Agreement or any of its associated rights or obligations to more than [**] assignees without the consent of Patheon (with assignment to the first [**] assignees not requiring the consent of Patheon).

 

(c)

Despite the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.6, either party may assign this Agreement or any Product Agreement to any of its Affiliates or to a successor to or purchaser of all or substantially all of its business; provided that the assignee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, the Quality and the Product Agreement, as applicable.

- 35 -


Master Manufacturing Services Agreement

13.7

Force Majeure.

Neither party will be liable for the failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Product 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 or any Product Agreement.  If Patheon becomes subject to a Force Majeure Event which interferes with production of the Product at the Manufacturing Site for more than 30 days, the parties shall mutually agree on implementation of an agreed-upon action plan to transfer production of the Product to another Patheon plant or location at Client’s cost. The parties shall, after the execution of this Agreement and at the request of either party, meet to discuss and define such an action plan.

13.10

Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement or any Product Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, that determination will not impair or affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remaining provisions, because each provision is separate, severable, and distinct.  With respect to any such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision, the parties shall consult and use their best efforts to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a reasonable substitute for such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision in light of the intent of this Agreement.  

13.11

Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, together with the applicable Product Agreement and the Quality Agreement, constitutes the full, complete, final and integrated agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous written or oral negotiations, commitments, agreements, transactions, or understandings concerning the subject matter hereof.  Any modification, amendment, or supplement to this Agreement or any Product Agreement must be in writing and signed by authorized representatives of both parties.  In case of conflict, the prevailing order of documents will be this Agreement, the Product Agreement, and the Quality 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 or any Product 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 or the applicable Product Agreement and is signed by both parties.

13.13

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.

Master Manufacturing Services Agreement

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 by its jurisdiction of formation or incorporation ("Resident Jurisdiction");

 

(ii)

any Tax based on net income or gross income that is imposed on Patheon by jurisdictions other than its Resident Jurisdiction; and

 

(iii)

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.  The parties will cooperate reasonably in completing and filing documents required under the provisions of any applicable tax laws or under any other applicable law, in connection with the making of any required tax payment or withholding payment, or in connection with any claim to a refund of or credit for any such payment. The parties will cooperate to minimize such taxes in accordance with applicable laws.

(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 Section 13.16 (a)(iii) 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 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 and any Product Agreement, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in the Product Agreement and then only for the purposes of that Product Agreement, will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts thereof. The parties expressly waive their respective rights to a jury trial in respect of any matter relating to this Agreement or its formation.

EXHIBIT A

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 [**] 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 independent expert with experience and expertise in the subject matter of the dispute.  If the parties are unable to so agree within the [**] Business Day period, or if there is a 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 Exhibit A.

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 [**] 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 [**] 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.

 

 


Master Manufacturing Services Agreement

 

(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 except 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 Exhibit A) 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.
