The forecast amount for the first [***] of the [***] Forecast shall be binding on both Parties. The forecast amounts for the remaining [***] of each [***] Forecast, i.e., [***], shall be non-binding forecast amounts. The [***] Forecast shall identify any quantity of API required for Sample Product for each [***] in accordance with Section 4.1(e), which quantity, prior to the completion of the Minimum Purchase Obligations, shall not exceed [***] of the quantity of API required for the relevant [***] if Option A applies, [***] if Option B applies or [***] if Option C applies; and which quantity, after the completion of the Minimum Purchase Obligations, shall not exceed [***] of the quantity of API required for the relevant [***]. Equateq shall not be obligated to supply API in excess of the binding forecast amounts contained in the [***] Forecasts and in no event shall Equateq be obligated to manufacture in any [***] more than the Facility’s annual capacity divided by [***].

3.5 Purchase Orders. Amarin shall deliver to Equateq one or more purchase orders (“Purchase Orders”) for the aggregate API volumes in each binding portion of a [***] Forecast. Each Purchase Order shall specify the volumes of API ordered, which shall be consistent with the binding portion of the [***] Forecast, the Shipment Date and the destination for shipment of the API. The Purchase Orders may be delivered electronically or by other means to such location as Equateq shall designate. Equateq shall ship such API on the Shipment Date specified by Amarin; provided, however that the Shipment Date is no less than [***] after the date of the submission of the Purchase Order. In the event that Equateq shall not be able to ship API by the Shipment Date specified in a Purchase Order, Equateq shall notify Amarin promptly in writing upon discovery of its inability to comply with the terms of this Section 3.5; provided, however, that such notification shall not relieve Equateq of any liability for failure to ship on such Shipment Date. In addition, Equateq will take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Amarin to minimize the damage to Amarin caused by Equateq’s inability to fulfill the terms of a Purchase Order. To the extent that (i) Equateq is or will be unable to supply Amarin with substantially the full quantity of API ordered in a Purchase Order on or before the applicable Shipment Date and is unable to provide an alternative Shipment Date which is acceptable to Amarin, acting reasonably in all the circumstances, and (ii) Amarin engages a Third Party (a “Secondary Supplier”) to supply such API, Equateq shall, in addition to any other remedies available to Amarin, reimburse Amarin for the difference in price paid to the Secondary Supplier for such API and the API Price provided that such difference shall not exceed [***] of the then current API Price that Equateq is charging Amarin for API.

3.6 Accommodations. From time to time, Amarin may deliver to Equateq a Purchase Order for API volumes in excess of those specified in any binding portion of a [***] Forecast. Equateq shall use commercially reasonable efforts, but shall not be obligated, to provide Amarin with all such ordered API volume.

In the event of a Force Majeure Event, Amarin or Equateq, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the other Party of such inability and of the period for which such inability is expected to continue. The Party giving such notice shall thereupon be excused from such of its obligations under this Agreement as it is thereby disabled from performing for so long as it is so disabled. To the extent possible, each Party shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of any Force Majeure Event.

14.2 Termination Due to Event of Force Majeure; Transition. If as a result of the conditions referred to in Section 14.1, Equateq is unable to fully perform its obligations for a period of [***], Amarin shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon [***] prior notice to Equateq.

The Initial Term together with any renewal term(s) is the “Term.”

15.2 Termination for Breach. This Agreement may be terminated by either Party in the event of the material breach by the other Party of the terms and conditions hereof and any infringement by one Party of the Intellectual Property of the other Party shall be considered a material breach; provided, however, the other Party shall first give to the breaching Party written notice of the proposed termination or cancellation of this Agreement, specifying the grounds therefore. Upon receipt of such notice, the breaching Party shall have sixty (60) Days to respond by curing such breach.

16.2 Independent Contractors. Each Party shall be treated as an independent contractor of the other. Neither Party shall be deemed to be a co-venturer, partner, employee or a legal representative of the other Party for any purpose. Neither Party shall have the authority to enter into any contracts in the name of or on behalf of the other Party or incur any charges or expenses for or in the name of the other Party.

16.3 Entire Understanding. The Parties agree, on their own and their respective Affiliates’ behalf, that this Agreement, including Schedules hereto, and any other document identified herein, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and their Affiliates relating to the subject matter hereof, and all prior agreements or arrangements, written or oral, between the Parties and their Affiliates relating to the subject matter hereof are hereby superseded and merged with this Agreement.

16.4 Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties, their successors and permitted assigns. Neither Party shall delegate, transfer, convey, assign or pledge this Agreement, in whole or in part, or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the other Party in each instance, and any such action without consent shall be void and have no effect. For the avoidance of doubt a Change of Control of Amarin shall not affect Amarin’s or its successor in interest’s obligations, as applicable, under or in connection with this Agreement. A Change of Control of Equateq with an Amarin Competitor shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Agreement and such assignment shall be subject to Amarin’s consent.

16.5 Dispute Resolution. If the Parties fail to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy of whatever nature arising out of or relating to this Agreement (other than one relating to the validity, enforceability, infringement or misappropriation of Intellectual Property rights, which shall not be subject to this Section 16.5), the Parties shall refer the dispute, to their respective officers designated below or such other officers as the Parties may designate in writing from time to time, for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations within [***] after so submitting the dispute. The designated officers are as follows:

	00 Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, X0 0XX
	Attention:	Managing Director
	Facsimile:	x00-00-0000-0000
	Email:	[***]

If such dispute is not resolved by the end of the [***] period, the Parties shall be free to pursue any legal or equitable remedy available to them. Each Party will bear its own attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 16.5. For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not prohibit or delay a Party from seeking appropriate injunctive or other equitable relief.

16.6 Subcontractors. Equateq may utilize Subcontractors with appropriate expertise and experience in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that Amarin must give its written approval in each instance prior to the use of Subcontractors by Equateq and may require Subcontractors to agree to conditions consistent with those contained herein. Nothing in this Section 16.6 shall relieve Equateq from any obligation under this Agreement.

16.7 Amendment. This Agreement, including any Schedule hereto, may not be amended or modified in any manner except by an instrument in writing signed by a duly authorized officer of each Party.

16.8 Severability. If and to the extent that any court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision (or any part thereof) of this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable, such holding shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement, and the invalid or

unenforceable provision shall be fully severed from this Agreement and there shall automatically be added in lieu thereof a provision as similar in terms and intent to such severed provision as may be legal, valid and enforceable.

16.9 Waiver. Any failure of a Party to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein contained may be expressly waived, in writing only, by the other Party hereto and such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.

16.10 Survival. Articles I (to the extent required to enforce other surviving rights or obligations), VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII, XV, XVI and Sections 2.3, 4.2, 4.3, 6.1(b), 6.3 to 6.11 (inclusive), 7.4, 7.6, 7.7 and any other provision which by its terms specifically shall so state, together with any obligations accrued hereunder at the time of termination or expiration, shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

16.11 Drafting Ambiguities. Each Party to this Agreement and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement. The rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting Party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendment or Schedules hereto.

16.12 Headings; Schedules; Counterparts.

(a) Headings. The headings of the Sections of this Agreement are for reference purposes only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

(b) Schedules. All Schedules and Exhibits delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed part of this Agreement and incorporated herein by reference, as if fully set forth herein. In the event that any Schedule conflicts with any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

(c) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile signatures shall be treated as original signatures.

16.13 Governing Law. This Agreement and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, USA, without regard to principles of conflicts of law, and the Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the State of New York, USA. Each of the Parties hereby waives and agrees not to assert in any such dispute, to the fullest extent permitted by Legal Requirements, any claim that (i) such Party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, (ii) such Party and such Party’s property is immune from any legal process issued by such courts or (iii) any litigation or other proceeding commenced in such courts is brought in an inconvenient forum. The Parties agree that the provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply.

16.14 Remedies. None of the remedies set forth in this Agreement are intended to be exclusive, and each Party shall have available to it all remedies available under law or in equity or in any other agreement between the Parties.

16.15 Injunctive Relief. In the event that either Equateq or Amarin breaches or threatens to breach any provision of Article VIII or Article XIII of this Agreement, the Parties agree that irreparable harm to the other Party should be presumed and the damages to such Party would probably be very

difficult to ascertain and would be inadequate. Accordingly, in the event of such circumstances, each of Equateq and Amarin agree that, in addition to any other right and remedies available at law or in equity, the other Party shall have the right to seek injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction.

16.16 Standard Forms. In all communications, Amarin and Equateq may employ their standard forms, but nothing in those forms shall be construed to be in addition to or modify or amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in the case of any conflict herewith, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

16.17 Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments, and to do all such other acts, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

16.18 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts and by facsimile or PDF signature, each of which shall be deemed an original and which together shall constitute one instrument.

16.19 English Language. The English language version of this Agreement will be controlling on the Parties. All information, documents, reports, notices, writings and communications to be provided by one Party to the other Party hereunder will be provided in the English language.
