No contract shall exist except as hereinabove provided.
Acceptance of Purchase Order Contractor’s acceptance of CCI’s Purchase Order shall be accomplished by the earlier of execution of the Purchase Order or commencement of Services or shipment of any Product specified in the Purchase Order.

Reliant will be obligated to purchase 75% of the quantities of API forecasted for the first two (2) succeeding calendar quarters of each Quarterly Forecast.

Purchase Orders Unless otherwise authorized in writing by the Commissioner, no Product is to be delivered or furnished by Contractor until transmittal of an official Purchase Order from the Authorized User. Unless terminated or cancelled pursuant to the authority vested in the Commissioner, Purchase Orders shall be effective and binding upon the Contractor when placed in the mail or electronically transmitted prior to the termination of the contract period, addressed to the Contractor at the address for receipt of orders set forth in the Contract or in the Contract Award Notification. All Purchase Orders issued pursuant to Contracts let by the Commissioner must bear the appropriate Contract number and, if necessary, required State approvals. As deemed necessary, the Authorized User may confirm pricing and other Product information with the Contractor prior to placement of the Purchase Order. The State reserves the right to require any other information from the Contractor which the State deems necessary in order to complete any Purchase Order placed under the Contract. Unless otherwise specified, all Purchase Orders against Centralized Contracts will be placed by Authorized Users directly with the Contractor and any discrepancy between the terms stated on the vendor’s order form, confirmation or acknowledgment, and the Contract terms shall be resolved in favor of the terms most favorable to the Authorized User. Should an Authorized User add written terms and conditions to the Purchase Order that conflict with the terms and conditions of the Contract, the Contractor has the option of rejecting the Purchase Order within five business days of its receipt but shall first attempt to negotiate the additional written terms and conditions in good faith with the Authorized User, or fulfill the Purchase Order. Notwithstanding the above, the Authorized User reserves the right to dispute any discrepancies arising from the presentation of additional terms and conditions with the Contractor. If, with respect to an Agency Specific Contract let by the OGS Commissioner, a Purchase Order is not received by the Contractor within two weeks after the issuance of a Contract Award Notification, it is the responsibility of the Contractor to request in writing that the appropriate Authorized User forward a Purchase Order. If, thereafter, a Purchase Order is not received within a reasonable period of time, the Contractor shall promptly notify in writing the appropriate purchasing officer in OGS. Failure to timely notify such officer may, in the discretion of the OGS Commissioner and without cost to the State, result in the cancellation of such requirement by the OGS Commissioner with a corresponding reduction in the Contract quantity and price.
Terms of Purchase The closing of the transactions contemplated by Section 10.6 (the "Purchase Closing") shall occur (a) on the Termination Date if this Agreement expires pursuant to the terms of Sections 10.1 and 10.2, or (b) on a date mutually acceptable to the parties hereto that shall be within 180 days after receipt of a Termination Notice. The parties shall enter into an asset purchase agreement containing representations, warranties and conditions customary to a transaction of this size involving the purchase and sale of similar businesses. Subject to the conditions set forth below, at the Purchase Closing, Administrator and/or its Affiliates, as the case may be, shall transfer and assign the Purchase Assets to the Group, and in consideration therefor, the Group shall (a) pay to Administrator, Parent and/or their Affiliates an amount in cash or, at the option of the Group (subject to the conditions set forth below), Parent Common Stock (valued pursuant to Section 10.6(c) hereof), or some combination of cash and Parent Common Stock equal to the Purchase Price and (b) assume the Practice Related Liabilities. The structure of the transaction set forth in this Section 10.7 shall, if possible, be structured as a tax-free transaction under applicable law. Each party shall execute such documents or instruments as are reasonably necessary, in the opinion of each party and its counsel, to effect the foregoing transaction. The Group shall, and shall use its best efforts to cause each shareholder of the Group to, execute such documents or instruments as may be necessary to cause the Group to assume the Practice Related Liabilities and to release Administrator, Parent and/or their Affiliates, as the case may be, from any liability or obligation with respect thereto. In the event the Group desires to pay all or a portion of the Purchase Price in shares of Parent Common Stock, such transaction shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:
43 49 (a) The holders of such shares of Parent Common Stock shall transfer to Administrator, Parent and/or their Affiliates good, valid and marketable title to the shares of Parent Common Stock, free and clear of all adverse claims, security interests, liens, claims, proxies, options, stockholders' agreements and encumbrances (not including any applicable securities restrictions and lock-up arrangements with the Parent or any underwriter); and
Purchase Order A Customer may use purchase orders to buy commodities or contractual services pursuant to the Contract and, if applicable, the Contractor must provide commodities or contractual services pursuant to purchase orders. Purchase orders issued pursuant to the Contract must be received by the Contractor no later than the close of business on the last day of the Contract’s term. The Contractor is required to accept timely purchase orders specifying delivery schedules that extend beyond the Contract term even when such extended delivery will occur after expiration of the Contract. Purchase orders shall be valid through their specified term and performance by the Contractor, and all terms and conditions of the Contract shall survive the termination or expiration of the Contract and apply to the Contractor’s performance. The duration of purchase orders for recurring deliverables shall not exceed the expiration of the Contract by more than twelve months. Any purchase order terms and conditions conflicting with these Special Contract Conditions shall not become a part of the Contract.
Reimbursements and Purchase Orders Expense reimbursement is not guaranteed and, when possible, Board members should seek pre- approval of expenses by providing an estimation of expenses on the Board's standardized estimated expense approval form, except in situations when the expense is diminutive. When pre-approval is not sought, Board members must seek reimbursement on the Board's standardized expense reimbursement form. Expense reimbursements and purchase orders shall be presented to the Board in its regular bill process.
Purchase Order Duration Purchase orders issued pursuant to this State Term Contract must be received by the Contractor no later than close of business on the last day of the Contract’s term to be considered timely. The Contractor is obliged to fill those orders in accordance with the Contract’s terms and conditions. Purchase orders received by the Contractor after close of business on the last day of the State Term Contract’s term shall be considered void. Purchase orders for a one-time performance of contractual services shall be valid through the performance by the Contractor, and all terms and conditions of the State Term Contract shall apply to the single delivery/performance, and shall survive the termination of the Contract. Contractors are required to accept purchase orders specifying delivery schedules exceeding the contracted schedule even when such extended delivery will occur after expiration of the State Term Contract. For example, if a state term contract calls for delivery 30 days after receipt of order (ARO), and an order specifies delivery will occur both in excess of 30 days ARO and after expiration of the state term contract, the Contractor will accept the order. However, if the Contractor expressly and in writing notifies the ordering office within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the purchase order that Contractor will not accept the extended delivery terms beyond the expiration of the state term contract, then the purchase order will either be amended in writing by the ordering entity within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the contractor’s notice to reflect the state term contract delivery schedule, or it shall be considered withdrawn. The duration of purchase orders for recurring deliveries of commodities or performance of services shall not exceed the expiration of the State Term Contract by more than twelve months. However, if an extended pricing plan offered in the State Term Contract is selected by the Customer, the Contract terms on pricing plans shall govern the maximum duration of purchase orders reflecting such pricing plans. Timely purchase orders shall be valid through their specified term and performance by the Contractor, and all terms and conditions of the State Term Contract shall apply to the recurring delivery/performance as provided herein, and shall survive the termination of the Contract. Ordering offices shall not renew a purchase order issued pursuant to a State Term Contract if the underlying contract expires prior to the effective date of the renewal.
Order to Stop Work The Chief Procurement Officer, may, by written order to Contractor at any time, and without notice to any surety, require Contractor to stop all or any part of the work called for by this contract. This order shall be for a specified period not exceeding 90 days after the order is delivered to Contractor, unless the parties agree to any further period. Any such order shall be identified specifically as a stop work order issued pursuant to this clause. Upon receipt of such an order, Contractor shall forthwith comply with its terms and take all reasonable steps to minimize the occurrence of costs allocable to the work covered by the order during the period of work stoppage. Before the stop work order expires, or within any further period to which the parties shall have agreed, the Chief Procurement Officer shall either:
i. cancel the stop work order; or,
ii. terminate the work covered by such order as provided in the Termination for Default clause or the Termination for Convenience clause of this contract.
Firm Orders On a rolling basis during the term of the Product Agreement, Client will issue an updated [***] forecast on or before the [***]. This forecast will start on [***]. Unless otherwise agreed in the Product Agreement, the first [***] of this updated forecast will be considered binding firm orders. 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 [***] 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. Further, for [***] of the [***] forecast, Client commits that its Firm Orders for each of those months will be no less than [***], respectively, of the forecasted amounts for [***]. If Client orders less than the agreed volume, the parties will meet to discuss how to smooth production to meet demand. If it is not possible to smooth production to meet forecasted demand, Client will compensate Patheon for not meeting the Firm Order commitment by paying the [***] for the shortfall between what Client actually ordered and its Firm Order commitment as set forth above or as otherwise provided for in the applicable Product Agreement. The forgoing shall be Patheon’s sole and exclusive remedy for Client’s failure to meet the Firm Order commitment. No amounts shall be payable to Patheon if Client is unable to make the Firm Order commitment because of Force Majeure or because the Product is taken off the market due in response to an action by an Authority or otherwise as required by Applicable Law. Patheon commits to make [***] of the forecasted amounts available to Client, and will reserve [***] of its capacity to meet that commitment. Patheon shall notify Client as soon as possible of impending capacity constraints in relation to Client’s forecasts and/or changes in Client’s demands.
