2.2Forecasts. Within [* * *] after the Effective Date, Paratek shall submit to CIPAN a forecast of clinical supply of Products that Paratek anticipates ordering from CIPAN during the [* * *] period (broken down by Product and by month and, if applicable, country in the Territory) following the date of such forecast and Paratek shall update such forecast on a rolling [* * *] basis every [* * *] thereafter (each, a “Rolling Clinical Forecast”) until Paratek no longer requires any clinical supply of Products. Beginning [* * *] prior to the anticipated launch of a Paratek Product in the Territory and for the remainder of the Term, Paratek shall submit to CIPAN a forecast of commercial supply of Products that Paratek anticipates ordering from CIPAN during the [* * *] period (broken down by Product and by month and, if applicable, country in the Territory) following the date of such forecast and Paratek shall update such forecast on a rolling [* * *] basis every [* * *] thereafter (each, a “Rolling Commercial Forecast”), provided that Paratek shall provide an updated Rolling Commercial Forecast within [* * *] after such Paratek Product receives Regulatory Approval by the applicable Regulatory Authority in a country in the Territory.

At its election, Paratek may recover undisputed amounts to which it may become entitled under this paragraph by deducting such amounts from amounts then due or that may subsequently become due to CIPAN from Paratek hereunder.
9.5Samples and Record Retention. CIPAN shall retain records and retention samples of each Batch of Product for at least [* * *] and shall make the same available to Paratek upon request.
