4.2 Adjustments to Current Year's Pricing.
During any Year of this Agreement, the fees set out in Schedule A shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the following:
- (a)
- Volume
Reduction. If at any time and from time to time Patheon determines, acting reasonably and based on the forecasts and Firm Orders received from Cephalon, that the current yearly
run-rate volumes (including, without limitation, any permanent reductions in volumes) relating to a specific Product will constitute no more than [**] of the
minimum annual volume for that Product specified in Schedule A hereto or, if applicable, any revised minimum annual volume hereinafter agreed to by the parties, then Patheon shall be entitled
to request an adjustment to the fee for Manufacturing Services in respect of that Product to reflect the increased costs that Patheon will incur as a result of the reduced volumes;

5
- (b)
- Component Costs. If at any time market conditions result in Patheon's cost of Components being greater than normal forecasted increases, then Patheon shall be entitled to request an adjustment to the fee for Manufacturing Services in respect of any affected Product to compensate it for such increased Component costs. For the purposes of this Section 4.2(b), changes greater than normal forecasted increases shall be considered to have occurred if (i) the cost of a Component is more than [**] greater than the cost for that Component upon which the fee quote was based or (ii) the aggregate cost for all Components required to manufacture a Product is more than [**]of the total Component costs for such Product upon which the fee quote was based. To the extent that Manufacturing Services fees have been previously adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) to reflect an increase in the cost of one or more Components, the adjustments provided for in (i) and (ii) above shall operate based on the costs attributed to such Component (or Components) at the time the last of such adjustments were made;In connection with a fee adjustment request pursuant to this Section 4.2, Patheon shall deliver to Cephalon a revised Schedule A and such budgetary pricing information, adjusted Component costs or other documentation sufficient to demonstrate that a fee adjustment is justified. Upon delivery of such a request, each of Cephalon and Patheon shall forthwith use all reasonable efforts to agree on a revised fee for the Manufacturing Services in respect of each affected Product.
4.3 Adjustments to Subsequent Year's Pricing.
The fees for the Manufacturing Services provided pursuant to the terms of this Agreement during any period following the first anniversary of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the following:
- (a)
- Manufacturing
Costs. On each yearly anniversary of this Agreement, Patheon shall be entitled to request an adjustment to the fees for Component costs and Manufacturing Services fees
in respect of the Products for increase in manufacturing costs based on the increases in the Industrial Product Price Index, Pharmaceuticals, No.
V157093 and the Consumer Price Index, published by Statistics Canada in respect of the immediately prior Year;
- (b)
- Annual
Forecast. At least ninety days prior to the end of the each Year of this Agreement, Cephalon shall provide Patheon a yearly volume projection. To the extent that Patheon
determines that the projections contained in that yearly volume forecast necessitate that an adjustment be made to the fee for Component costs and Manufacturing Services fees in respect of any Product
for such Year, Patheon shall, within thirty days of receipt by Patheon of the yearly forecast, be entitled to request an appropriate price adjustment.
- (c)
- Pricing Basis. Cephalon acknowledges that the fee for Manufacturing Services in respect of a Product in any Year is quoted based upon the minimum run quantity and estimated annual volume per Product specified in Schedule A or thereafter specified in the forecast provided pursuant to Section 4.3(b) for the Year and is subject to change if the specified minimum run quantity and estimated annual volume is not met. For greater certainty, if Patheon and Cephalon agree that the minimum run quantity in respect of a Product shall be reduced whether as a result of a decrease in estimated annual volume or otherwise and, as a result of such reduction, Patheon's costs relating to such Product increase on a per unit basis, then Patheon shall be entitled to an increase in the fee for Manufacturing Services in respect of such Product by an amount sufficient to absorb such increase.
In connection with a fee adjustment request pursuant to this Section 4.3, Patheon shall deliver to Cephalon a revised Schedule A and such budgetary pricing information, adjusted Component costs or other documentation sufficient to demonstrate that a fee adjustment is justified. Upon delivery of such a request, each of Cephalon and Patheon shall forthwith use all reasonable efforts to agree on a revised fee for the Manufacturing Services in respect of each affected Product.

Amendments to Cephalon's Technical Information or the Technical Agreement requested by Cephalon will only be implemented following a technical and cost review by Patheon and are subject to Cephalon and Patheon reaching agreement as to revisions, if any, to the fees specified in Schedules A or B necessitated by any such amendment. If Cephalon accepts a proposed fee change, the proposed change in Cephalon's Technical Information shall be implemented, and the fee change shall become effective only with respect to those orders of Products that are manufactured in accordance with the revised Cephalon's Technical Information. In addition, Cephalon agrees to purchase, at Patheon's cost, all Inventory utilized under the "old" Cephalon's Technical Information and purchased or maintained by Patheon in order to fill Firm Orders or in accordance with Section 5.3, to the extent that such Inventory can no longer be utilized under the revised Cephalon's Technical Information. Open purchase orders for Components no longer required under any revised Client's Technical Information that were placed by Patheon with suppliers in order to fill Firm Orders or in accordance with Section 5.3 shall be cancelled where possible, and where such orders are not subject to cancellation without penalty, shall be assigned to and satisfied by Cephalon.
- 4.5
- Multi-Country Pricing. The pricing set forth in Schedule A of this Agreement is for Product intended for sale and distribution in the United States of America. If Cephalon decides that it wishes to have Patheon manufacture the Product for countries in addition to the United States of America, the Cephalon shall inform Patheon of the packaging requirements needed for this new country market and Patheon shall prepare a quotation for consideration by Cephalon of the additional Component costs, if any, packaging fees and the change over fees for the Product destined for the new country market. The agreed additional packaging requirements and related packaging costs and change over fees shall be set out in a written amendment to this Agreement.
ARTICLE 5
ORDERS, DELIVERY, INVOICING, PAYMENT, PRODUCT DEFICIENCIES
5.1 Market Outlook.
Cephalon acknowledges that for optimal production planning, Patheon requires an understanding of Cephalon's strategic vision for the Products in the market and agrees, to the extent that such information (including, if any, Cephalon's five-year market outlook studies) exists, to share such information with Patheon, provided that such information may not be relied upon by Patheon for any purpose and further provided that any information so provided shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions of Article 10.
5.2 Orders and Forecasts.
Cephalon shall provide Patheon with the following:
- (a)
- concurrent
with the execution of this Agreement, a written non-binding twelve (12) month forecast of the volume of each Product that Cephalon then anticipates will
be required to be produced and delivered to Cephalon during that twelve (12) month period. Such forecast will be updated by Cephalon monthly on a rolling twelve (12) month basis and
updated forthwith upon Cephalon determining that the volumes contemplated in the most recent of such forecasts has changed by more than twenty per cent; and
- (b)
- on or before the 20th day of each month, firm written orders ("Firm Orders") for the Products to be produced and delivered to Cephalon on a date not less than 12 weeks from the date that the Firm Order is submitted. Such Firm Orders submitted to Patheon shall specify Cephalon's purchase order number, quantities by Product type, monthly delivery schedule and
7
- (c)
- on or before September 30 in each Year, a written non-binding three-year forecast (broken down by quarters for the second and third years of the forecast) of the volume of each Product Cephalon then anticipates will be required to be produced and delivered to Cephalon during the three-year period.
any other elements necessary to ensure the timely production and delivery of the Products. The quantities of Products ordered in such written orders shall be firm and binding on Cephalon and shall not be subject to reduction.
5.3 Reliance by Patheon.
Cephalon understands and acknowledges that Patheon will rely on the Firm Orders submitted pursuant to Section 5.2(b) in ordering the Components required to meet such Firm Orders. In addition, Cephalon understands that to ensure an orderly supply of such Components and to achieve economies of scale in the costs therefor, it may be desirable for Patheon to purchase such Components in sufficient volumes to meet the production requirements for Products during part or all of the forecasted periods referred to in Section 5.2(a) or to meet the production requirements of any longer period agreed to by Patheon and Cephalon. Accordingly, Cephalon authorizes Patheon to purchase Components in order to satisfy the production requirements for Products for the first six months contemplated in the most recent forecast provided by Cephalon pursuant to Section 5.2(a), and agrees that Patheon may make such other purchases of Components to meet production requirements during such longer periods as may be agreed to in writing from time to time by Cephalon at the request of Patheon. If Components ordered by Patheon pursuant to Firm Orders or this Section 5.3 are not included in finished Products purchased by Cephalon within six months after the forecasted month in respect of which such purchases have been made (or such longer period as the parties may agree), Cephalon shall pay to Patheon its costs thereof and, in the event such Components are incorporated into Products subsequently purchased by Cephalon, Cephalon will receive credit for any costs of such Components previously paid to Patheon by Cephalon.
5.4 Minimum Orders.
Cephalon may only order Products in multiples of the minimum run quantities set out in Schedule A.
5.5 Shipments.
Shipments of Products shall be made FCA Patheon's shipping point.

Patheon shall, in accordance with Cephalon's instructions and as agent for Cephalon, (i) arrange for shipping and insurance, including preparing and executing a packing list, Dangerous Goods Declaration and MSDS, with freight and insurance to be paid by Cephalon and (ii) at Cephalon's risk and expense, obtain any export licence or other official authorization and carry out all customs formalities necessary to export the Products. Cephalon may 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 shall be transported in accordance with Cephalon's Technical Information.
5.6 Invoices and Payment.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Patheon shall charge Cephalon for the Manufacturing Services only in respect of those Products that are shipped to Cephalon and shall submit to Cephalon, with each shipment of Products, an invoice covering such shipment. Patheon shall also
8
provide Cephalon with an invoice covering any Inventory or Components which are to be purchased by Cephalon pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Each such invoice shall, to the extent applicable, identify Cephalon purchase order number, Product numbers, names and quantities, unit price, freight charges and the total amount to be remitted by Cephalon. Cephalon shall pay all such invoices within thirty days of the receipt thereof.
5.7 Product Deficiencies.
- (a)
- Inspection.
Cephalon shall inspect the Products manufactured by Patheon upon receipt thereof and, within 30 days of receipt of the Products and the certificates of analysis,
and shall give Patheon written notice (a "Deficiency Notice") of all claims for Products that deviate from Patheon's Manufacturing Responsibilites.
Latent defects shall be reported to Patheon within ten (10) days after Cephalon's discovery of same. Should Cephalon fail to provide Patheon with written notice of its acceptance or rejection

for any deviations for which it has not received notice within the periods specified above.
- (b)
- Determination
of Deficiency. Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Patheon shall have 10 days to advise Cephalon by notice in writing that it disagrees with the contents of such
Deficiency Notice. If Cephalon and Patheon fail to agree within 10 days after Patheon's notice to Cephalon as to whether any Products identified in the Deficiency Notice deviate from Cephalon's
Technical Information or cGMPs, or the Technical Agreement, then the parties shall mutually select an independent laboratory to evaluate if the Products deviate from Cephalon's Technical Information
or cGMPs or the Technical Agreement. Such evaluation shall be binding on the parties, and if such evaluation certifies that any Products deviate from Patheon's Manufacturing Responsibilities, Cephalon
may reject those Products in the manner contemplated by Section 5.7(c). If such evaluation does not so certify in respect of any such Products, then Cephalon shall be deemed to have accepted
delivery of such Products on the fortieth day after delivery.
- (c)
- Product Rejection. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.7(a) and 9.2(b), Cephalon has the right to reject and return, at the expense of Patheon, any portion of any shipment of Products that deviates from Cephalon's Technical Information or cGMPs, without invalidating any remainder of such shipment, to the extent that such deviation arises from Patheon's failure to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Patheon Manufacturing Responsibilities.
6.1 Quarterly Review.

- (a)
- Product Recalls. Patheon and Cephalon shall each maintain records as may be necessary to permit a recall or a field correction of any Products delivered to Cephalon or customers of Cephalon, effected voluntarily or under a threat of, or a directive by, any governmental
9
- (b)
- Product
Returns. Cephalon shall have the responsibility for handling customer returns of the Products. Patheon shall provide Cephalon with such assistance as Cephalon may reasonably
need to handle such returns.
- (c)
- Patheon's Responsibility. To the extent that a recall or return results from, or arises out of, a failure by Patheon to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Patheon Manufacturing Responsibilities, such recall or return shall be made at Patheon's cost and expense, and Patheon shall use its best efforts to replace the recalled or returned Products with new Products within 60 days from the date that Cephalon definitively notifies Patheon about the recalled or returned Products, contingent upon the receipt or availability from Cephalon of all Active Materials. Patheon's cost for such Active Materials shall be limited to the Active Materials Value thereof. In the event that Patheon is unable to replace the recalled Products within this 60-day period (except where such inability results from a failure to receive the required Active Materials), then Cephalon may request Patheon to reimburse Cephalon for the price that Cephalon paid to Patheon for manufacturing the affected Products.

10.1 Disclosure
During and in furtherance of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto may disclose certain of its Confidential Information to the other party.
10.2 Use of Information
During the Initial Term and any renewals of this Agreement, and for a period of five years from the termination of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees (i) to use the Confidential
16
Information only in connection with the terms of this Agreement; (ii) to treat the Confidential Information as it would its own proprietary information; and (iii) to take all reasonable precautions to prevent the disclosure of the Confidential Information to any third party, other than an Affiliate, without the prior written consent of the other party..

Each of Patheon and Cephalon shall be relieved of any and all of the obligations under Section 10.2 regarding Confidential Information which (i) was known by the recipient prior to receipt hereunder; (ii) at the time of disclosure, was generally available to the public, or which after disclosure hereunder becomes generally available to the public through no fault attributable to a party hereto; or (iii) is hereafter made available for use or disclosure from any third party having a right to do so.
10.4 Designation of Confidentiality.
All oral information shall be reduced to writing forthwith after disclosure. Each party shall either xxxx its Confidential Information "Confidential" or "Proprietary" or ensure that it is covered by a notice indicating that such information is confidential. For greater certainty, a verbal disclosure by a party of its Confidential Information shall be followed by a written Summary of the conversation marked "Confidential" and be delivered to the other party within thirty days of the conversation.
11.1 Commercial Disputes.
In the event of any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (other than a dispute determined in accordance with Section 5.7(b) or a Technical Dispute), the parties shall first try to solve it amicably. In this regard, any party may send a notice of dispute to the other, and each party shall appoint, within 10 Business Days from receipt of such notice of dispute, a single representative having full power and authority to solve the dispute. The representatives so designated shall meet as necessary in order to solve such dispute. If these representatives fail to solve the matter within one month from their appointment, or if a party fails to appoint a representative within the 10 Business Day period set forth above, such dispute shall immediately be referred to the Chief Operating Officer or Executive Vice President, Operations (or such other officer as they may designate) of each party who will meet and discuss as necessary in order to try to solve the dispute amicably.

11.2 Technical Dispute Resolution.
In the event of a dispute (other than disputes in relation to the matters set out in Sections 5.7(b) and 11.1) 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 shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute by amicable negotiations. In this regard, senior representatives of each party shall, as soon as practicable and in any event no later than 10 Business Days after a written request from either party to the other, meet in good faith to resolve any Technical Dispute. If, despite such meeting, the parties are unable to resolve a Technical Dispute within a reasonable time, and in any event within 30 Business Days of such written request, the Technical Dispute shall, at the request of either party, be referred for determination to an expert in accordance with the provisions of Schedule F. In the event that the parties cannot agree whether a dispute is a Technical Dispute, Section 11.1 shall prevail. For greater certainty, the parties
17
agree that the release of the Products for sale or distribution pursuant to the applicable marketing approval for such Products shall not by itself indicate compliance by Patheon with its obligations in respect of the Manufacturing Services and further that nothing in this Agreement (including Schedule F) shall remove or limit the authority of the relevant qualified person (as specified by the Technical Agreement) to determine whether the Products are to be released for sale or distribution.
12.1 Trademarks.
Patheon shall have the non-exclusive right to use the Trademarks in packaging the Products in connection with fulfilling its obligations hereunder.

Each party agrees not to 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. Any inventions, discoveries, improvements, or trade secrets made by Patheon in the performance of this Agreement that specifically relate to the Products or their manufacture (including any new use or any change in the method of producing testing or storing the Products) shall be owned by Cephalon. Patheon shall execute such instruments as shall be required to evidence or effectuate Cephalon's ownership of any such inventions, and shall cooperate upon reasonable request (and at Cephalon's expense) in the prosecution of patents and other intellectual property rights related to any such inventions.
13.2 Insurance.
Each party shall 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 five years thereafter, which insurance shall afford limits of not less than $5,000,000 for each occurrence for personal injury liability, products liability and property damage liability. If requested each party will provide the other with 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. The insurance certificate shall further provide for a minimum of thirty days' written notice to the insured of a cancellation of, or material change in, the insurance.
18
13.3 Independent Contractors.
The parties are independent contractors and this Agreement shall not be construed to create between Patheon and Cephalon 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 hereto.
13.4 No Waiver.
Either party's failure to require the other party to comply with any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision or any other provision of this Agreement.
13.5 Assignment.
Patheon may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder except with the written consent of Cephalon, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. For greater certainty, Patheon may arrange for subcontractors to perform specific services arising under this Agreement provided that Patheon remains responsible to Cephalon under this Agreement. Subject to Section 7.2(d), Cephalon may assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without approval from Patheon; provided, however, that Cephalon shall give prior written notice of any assignment to Patheon, any assignee shall covenant in writing with Patheon to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and Cephalon shall remain liable hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.5 or the provisions of Section 7.2(d), either party may assign this Agreement to any of its Affiliates or to a successor to or purchaser of all or substantially all of its business, provided that such assignee executes an agreement with the non-assigning party hereto whereby it agrees to be bound hereunder.
13.6 Force Majeure.
Neither party shall be liable for the failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement if such failure is occasioned by a cause or contingency beyond such party's reasonable control, including, but not limited to, strikes or other labour disturbances, lockouts, riots, wars, fires, floods, storms, interruption of or delay in transportation, or compliance with any order or regulation of any government entity acting within colour of right. A party claiming a right to excused performance under this Section 12.6 shall immediately notify the other party in writing of the extent of its inability to perform, which notice shall specify the occurrence beyond its reasonable control that prevents such performance.

Technical Disputes which cannot be resolved by negotiation as provided in Section 11.2 shall be resolved in the following matter:
- 1.
- Appointment of Expert. Within 10 Business Days after a party requests pursuant to Section 11.2 that an expert be appointed to
resolve a Technical Dispute, the parties shall jointly appoint a mutually acceptable expert with experience and expertise in the subject matter of the dispute. If the parties are unable to so agree
within such 10 Business Day period, or in the event of disclosure of a conflict by an expert pursuant to paragraph 2 hereof which results in the parties not confirming the appointment of such
expert, then an expert (willing to act in that capacity hereunder) shall be appointed by an experienced arbitrator on the roster of ADR Xxxxxxxx who shall be a retired judge of the Ontario Superior
Court of Justice.
- 2.
- Conflicts of Interest. Any person appointed as an expert shall be entitled to act and continue to act as such notwithstanding that 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 provided that before
accepting such appointment (or as soon as practicable after he becomes aware of the conflict or potential conflict) he fully discloses any such interest or duty and the parties shall after such
disclosure have confirmed his appointment.
- 3.
- Not Arbitrator. No expert shall be deemed to be an arbitrator and the provisions of the Arbitration
Act (Ontario) or of any other applicable statute (foreign or domestic) and the law relating to arbitration shall not apply to any such expert or the expert's determination or
the procedure by which the expert reaches his determination to be made pursuant to this Schedule E.
- 4.
- Procedure. Where an expert is appointed:
- (a)
- Timing.
The expert shall 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 such 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 15 Business Days (or such other date as the parties and the expert may agree) after receipt of all information requested by him pursuant to paragraph 4(b) hereof.
- (b)
- Disclosure
of Evidence. The parties undertake one to the other to provide to any expert all such evidence and information within their respective possession or control as the expert
may reasonably consider necessary for determining the matter before him which they shall disclose promptly and in any event within five Business Days of a written request from the relevant expert to
do so.
- (c)
- Advisors. Each party may appoint such 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 shall co-operate and seek to narrow and limit the issues to be determined.
27
- (d)
- Appointment
of New Expert. If within the time specified in paragraph 4(a) above the expert shall 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 shall thereupon cease for the purposes of determining the matter at issue between the parties save that if
the existing expert renders his decision with full reasons prior to the appointment of the new expert, then such a decision shall have effect and the proposed appointment of the new expert shall be
withdrawn.
- (e)
- Final
and Binding. The determination of the expert shall, save in the event of fraud or manifest error, be final and binding upon the parties.
- (f)
- Costs. Each party shall bear its own costs in connection with 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 shall be shared equally by the parties.
For greater certainty, the parties agree that the release of the Products for sale or distribution pursuant to the applicable marketing approval for such Products shall not by itself indicate compliance by Patheon with its obligations in respect of the Manufacturing Services and further that nothing in this Agreement (including this Schedule F) shall remove or limit the authority of the relevant qualified person (as specified by the Technical Agreement) to determine whether the Products are to be released for sale or distribution.
