Client may, but will not be obliged to, obtain a waiver of any exclusion in respect of terrorism but will seek to ensure that any policy exclusions and excesses fall within normal commercial practice in the United States insurance market. Client will, upon request by Catalent, provide Catalent with a certificate of insurance evidencing reasonable levels of liability insurance in respect to the Facility and Construction Work customary with this type of project. Catalent, at Catalent’s cost and expense, may procure additional insurance to ensure that the Facility, Improvements and the Client Equipment are insured as it deems appropriate. The Parties agree that insurance maintained by Client or Building Contractor shall be primary and non-contributing with insurance or self-insurance maintained by Catalent. In addition, prior to the commencement of Construction Work and continuing through the completion of the Work, Client shall secure or require the Building Contractor to secure from an insurer reasonably acceptable to Catalent, rated a minimum of A- by Best’s Rating Service: (a) Builders Risk Insurance on an All Risk basis with Catalent, Catalent’s mortgage lenders, and Client as named additional insureds, in an amount not less than [**]; and (b) insurance against claims under Workers’ Compensation Acts in compliance with all legal requirements; (c) Automobile liability insurance covering all owned, non-owned or hired vehicles used in the project in a minimum amount of [**] combined single limit (d) Comprehensive General Liability Insurance covering the Construction Work (including Broad Form Contractual Liability Insurance and Products and Completed Operations Insurance) with a combined single limit of not less than $[**] bodily injury and/or property damage liability and not less than $[**] aggregate liability; and (e) umbrella liability insurance in a minimum amount of $[**] providing excess or broader coverage over the liability limits contained in subparagraph (e) and (d).

The Steering Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make a determination regarding repairing or rebuilding within [**] days of the occurrence of the loss, provided that any reconstruction undertaken by Client shall be subject to any restriction imposed by any local authority on the right to access or reconstruct the Facility and performed at the risk of any decision not to rebuild taken by Catalent within [**] days of the occurrence of the loss.
|
A.
|
If by unanimous decision the Steering Group agrees to rebuild or repair the Facility, Client Space, improvements, Client Equipment and/or Catalent Equipment, Client may claim on its insurance and/or fund the obligation from its own resources. In either case, the principle that Client owns any new Client Equipment and Catalent owns the Improvements and Catalent Equipment shall be preserved and immediately following the reconstruction or replacement, the Residual Value of the Client Equipment and Improvements shall be equal to the Residual Value immediately prior to the loss of or damage to the Client Equipment or Improvements. To the extent that (i) Catalent has additional insurance or (ii) it has insured for a risk that is not included in Client’s insurance obligation in Section 4.2, and if Catalent is able to make a claim in its insurance, then Catalent shall contribute to the cost of reconstruction of the Client Space, provided Catalent’s obligation to contribute shall be limited to the lesser of (i) the difference between the reconstruction cost less the Residual Value of the Improvements and the Client Equipment and (ii) the amount that Catalent receives from its insurer.

For purposes of this Section 4.5, a “conditional partial lien waiver” shall mean a partial lien waiver that effects the subject waiver only upon the satisfaction of the condition precedent of payment to the grantor of the amount specified in the conditional partial lien waiver. Client shall ensure that Building Contractor promptly provides copies of all invoices and payments to Catalent. Promptly after Client pays to Building Contractor any Authorized Payment Amount pursuant to a final Certificate of Payment (as that term is defined in the Building Contract) issued by Client’s Designee, Client shall ensure that Building Contractor secures and provides to Catalent conditional final lien waivers for the amounts reflected in such payment, and, promptly after the subcontractors’ receipt of corresponding disbursements from Building Contractor, accompanying unconditional releases for the amounts reflected in such payment, which conditional final lien waivers and unconditional releases are substantially in the form attached as Schedule 8 and signed by the Building Contractor and all contractors, subcontractors, material men and suppliers for labor, services and materials furnished in connection with the Construction Work and Improvements. For purposes of this Section 4.5, a “conditional final lien waiver” shall mean a final lien waiver that effects the subject waiver only upon the satisfaction of the condition precedent of payment to the grantor of the amount specified in the conditional final lien waiver.

7.2 Purchase Orders.
A. From time to time as provided in this Section 7.2 (A), Client shall submit to Catalent a binding, non-cancelable purchase order for Product specifying the number of Batches to be Processed, the Batch size (to the extent the Specifications permit batches of different sizes and the Parties have agreed on the terms applicable to manufacture of such different batch sizes) and the requested delivery date for each Batch (“Purchase Order”). Concurrently, with the submission of each Rolling Forecast, Client shall submit a Purchase Order for the Firm Commitment.
B. Without limiting the generality of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 (A), Client will submit one or more Purchase Orders for a minimum of [**] Batches of Product to be manufactured between the Effective Date and the earlier of the Completion Date or July 1, 2014 (the “Initial Batches”).

C. Within [**] days following receipt of a Purchase Order, Catalent shall issue a written acknowledgement (“Acknowledgement”) that it accepts such Purchase Order. Each acceptance Acknowledgement shall either confirm the delivery date set forth in the Purchase Order or set forth a reasonable alternative delivery date, and shall include the Processing Date.
D. Notwithstanding Section 7.2 (C), in the event Client orders any quantity of Product for a period that is greater than the quantity of Product forecasted in the then-current Rolling Forecast for such period (any portion of the ordered quantity that is in excess of the forecasted quantity for such period, the “Excess Quantity”), in addition to filling the forecasted quantity of Product for such period, Catalent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to fill the Excess Quantity of Product ordered for such period subject to Catalent’s other supply commitments and manufacturing, packaging (to the extent applicable) and equipment capacity provided: (i) Catalent did not reject any portion of the Excess Quantity and thereby prevent its inclusion in the then-current Rolling Forecast in accordance with Section 7.1, and (ii) the quantity of Product ordered for the period including the Excess Quantity does not exceed [**] percent of the quantity of Product purchased in the preceding [**] months not to exceed the capacity of the dedicated equipment.

In case of Client’s rejection of a Batch or notification of a Latent Defect, the written notice (an “Exception Notice”) shall indicate that such Batch does not meet the warranty set forth in Section 15.1 (“Defective Product”) and Client shall provide a sample of the alleged Defective Product. Upon timely receipt of an Exception Notice from Client, Catalent shall conduct an appropriate investigation in its discretion to determine whether or not it agrees with Client that Product is Defective Product and to determine the cause of any nonconformity. If Catalent agrees that Product is Defective Product and determines that the cause of nonconformity is [**] (“Catalent Defective Processing”), then Section 8.3 shall apply.

The independent party’s results as to whether or not Product is Defective Product and the cause of any nonconformity shall be final and binding. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, the costs associated with such testing and review shall be borne by Catalent if Product is Defective Product attributable to Catalent Defective Processing, and by Client in all other circumstances.

Catalent will, at its option, either reprocess at its cost any Batch of Defective Product attributable to Catalent Defective Processing (and Client shall be liable to pay for either the rejected Batch(es) or the reprocessed Batch(es), but not both), or credit any payments made by Client for such Batch. THE OBLIGATION OF CATALENT TO [**] REPLACE CATALENT DEFECTIVE PROCESSING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SPECIFICATIONS OR CREDIT PAYMENTS MADE BY CLIENT FOR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT ATTRIBUTABLE TO CATALENT DEFECTIVE PROCESSING [**] SHALL BE CLIENT’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.
