(B) provide to MMCO written confirmation of the quantities of Bulk Product that Allos is able to supply to MMCO for such Calendar Quarter, from safety supplies held by Allos pursuant to Section 3.3(d) or excess inventory of Bulk Product that was not ordered by Allos for its own supply or the supply of its licensee in the Allos Territory, in order that MMCO can submit a replacement order for the quantity that Allos has indicated it can supply; and
[***]: CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.

(C) cooperate with MMCO to find an additional Third Party manufacturer of Bulk Product and if Allos does not supply pursuant to Section 3.3(c)(ii)(B) the quantity originally ordered by MMCO (when combined with MMCO’s share of any amount that [***] specified pursuant to Section 3.3(c)(ii)(A) that it was willing and able to supply) and if Bulk Product is available from an additional Third Party Contractor jointly funded by the Parties pursuant to Section 3.12(b)(i), the quantity of Bulk Product that is supplied by such additional Third Party Contractor shall, for the remainder of the period during which [***] is unable or unwilling to supply Bulk Product, be allocated on a Calendar Quarter by Calendar Quarter basis between MMCO (for the Licensed Territory) and Allos (for the Allos Territory) based upon the volume ratio of units of Bulk Product ordered by Allos from [***] and such additional Third Party Contractor for such Calendar Quarter for MMCO (for the Licensed Territory) and units of Bulk Product ordered by Allos from [***] and such additional Third Party Contractor for such Calendar Quarter for itself and its licensee in the Allos Territory.
(iii) If Allos rejects, in accordance with Section 3.3(c)(ii), a purchase order placed by MMCO and Allos fails to deliver to MMCO, by the delivery date specified in such purchase order for Bulk Product, the quantities of Bulk Product set forth in such purchase order, then the Minimum Quantity obligation set forth in Section 3.4(e) shall not apply until Allos resumes delivery of Bulk Product.
Such binding obligation may be amended only by the written agreement of both MMCO and Allos, or by MMCO at its discretion in the event of a supply shortfall as set forth in Section 4.1, provided that MMCO will pay any fees or other penalties incurred by Allos and payable to its Third Party manufacturer in connection with such amendment to the corresponding obligation. The second Calendar Quarter of each forecast will establish minimum and maximum quantities for such Calendar Quarter in the next forecast (when such Calendar Quarter will be the first Calendar Quarter in the forecast). MMCO’s next forecast for such Calendar Quarter (when such Calendar Quarter will be the first Calendar Quarter in the forecast) shall not be greater than [***] of the amount previously forecasted or less than [***] of the amount previously forecasted. The forecast for the third and fourth Calendar Quarters of each forecast shall be MMCO’s good faith estimate provided to Allos for planning purposes only, with no obligation on either Party to order or supply or to reserve manufacturing capacity or Raw Materials for, the forecasted amount for such Calendar Quarters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the first four Calendar Quarters after the First Commercial Sale, forecasts will not be binding and MMCO may revise its forecasts based upon market conditions. Allos will use commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill such forecasted orders.
(d) Allos or its Third Party manufacturers will maintain, at no charge to MMCO, a safety supply of [***] units in the aggregate of Bulk Product for the countries where Regulatory Approval for the Product has been obtained. Such supply of Bulk Product shall have a shelf life as required by the Regulatory Authorities in the country where such product is to be
[***]: CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.
14
supplied; provided, that the shelf life of Bulk Product shall not be required to exceed [***]. Mundipharma shall provide a schedule setting forth the Bulk Product shelf life required by Regulatory Authorities in different countries (the “Shelf Life Schedule”) within [***] of the Amendment Effective Date, which shall be incorporated into this Agreement through a side letter agreement between the Parties. If Allos uses any of the quantities of Bulk Product that it was maintaining pursuant to this Section 3.3(d) to accept or fill an order placed by MMCO because Allos’ Third Party manufacturer did not deliver the amount ordered by Allos by the delivery date specified in Allos’ order, then Allos will use commercially reasonable efforts to replenish (to the extent necessary to comply with the first sentence of this Section 3.3(d)) such quantities of Bulk Product within [***].
3.4 Bulk Product Purchase Orders; Firm Orders; Requirements.
(a) MMCO shall provide to Allos written purchase orders, each of which shall specify (i) the quantity of Bulk Product ordered for each presentation, which quantity shall be the same as the quantity specified in the binding forecast submitted in accordance with Section 3.3, and (ii) the requested delivery date for such order, which shall be no less than [***] after the date of such purchase order. Each order by MMCO for Bulk Product shall be (i) from the Amendment Effective Date until the [***], for at least [***] of Bulk Product, and (ii) after the [***], for at least [***] of Bulk Product.
(b) Allos shall include the quantities specified by MMCO pursuant to subsection (a) above, in the purchase orders Allos submits to its Third Party manufacturers of Bulk Product.
(c) Allos will promptly (but in no case more than [***] after its receipt of a purchase order placed pursuant to this Section 3.4), acknowledge in writing its receipt of such Bulk Product purchase order. Within [***] after such acknowledgment of receipt, Allos must confirm in writing either (i) its acceptance of such Bulk Product purchase order, whereupon it shall become a Firm Order, (ii) its acceptance of such Bulk Product purchase order but specifying an alternative delivery date that is no later than [***] after the date requested by MMCO in such Bulk Product purchase order, whereupon it shall become a Firm Order, or (iii) its rejection of such Bulk Product purchase order, provided, however, that Allos may only reject Bulk Product purchase orders that either fail to adhere to the forecast variance agreed to under Section 3.3(c) or are rejected by [***] in accordance with, and as more fully described under, Section 3.3(c). If no such order confirmation is received by MMCO within [***] after Allos’ receipt of such purchase order, then Allos shall have been deemed to have accepted such purchase order, whereupon it shall become a Firm Order. Any purchase orders for Bulk Product submitted by MMCO shall reference this Agreement and shall be governed exclusively by the terms contained herein. If there is any inconsistency or conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any provisions in any Bulk Product purchase order, invoice or similar document furnished by MMCO or Allos to the other Party, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control except for matters of quality, in which case the Technical Agreement shall control.
[***]: CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.
15
(d) In addition to the foregoing, if MMCO, in any Calendar Quarter, submits Bulk Product purchase orders in excess of [***] of the applicable binding forecast for the Bulk Product in such Calendar Quarter (“Excess Orders”), Allos will use commercially reasonable efforts to fill the excess portion of such Excess Orders as promptly as practicable, but will not be in breach hereof if, notwithstanding such efforts, it will be unable to fill such excess portion. For clarity, Allos shall not have any obligation to incur any fees or other penalties to fill the excess portion of such Excess Orders or to supply to MMCO any quantities of Bulk Product that Allos had forecasted, ordered or obtained for its own account or the account of another licensee in the Allos Territory. If Allos would incur fees to fill the excess portion of such Excess Orders, it shall bring this to MMCO’s attention and if MMCO agrees to reimburse Allos for such fees, then Allos shall fill such excess portion unless it would otherwise not be commercially reasonable to do so.
(e) For so long as the [***] Supply Agreement is in full force and effect, MMCO shall purchase from Allos a minimum of [***] of the requirements of MMCO and its Affiliates and their Sublicensees for Bulk Product for each Calendar Year (the “Minimum Quantity”); provided that, in the event that there is a supply shortfall under Section 4.1(a), such Minimum Quantity shall have no further effect and MMCO shall not be obligated to purchase any Minimum Quantity from Allos until such shortfall is cured. In the event that MMCO’s orders and purchases hereunder are less than the Minimum Quantity in any Calendar Year, at the end of such Calendar Year, other than due to a supply shortfall under Section 4.1(a), MMCO shall have up to [***] to remedy the deficiency through the purchase of additional Bulk Product. In the event that a deficiency still exists after such [***] period, other than due to a supply shortfall under Section 4.1(a), MMCO will pay to Allos an amount equal to the cost of Bulk Product purchased by Allos from its Third Party manufacturer to avoid the penalty payment associated with Allos’ failure to meet its Minimum Quantity (as defined in the [***] Supply Agreement) obligations under the [***] Supply Agreement. Within [***] of the end of each Calendar Year, MMCO shall provide to Allos a report, certified by its Chief Financial Officer, of the amount of Bulk Product and API purchased by MMCO in such Calendar Year from all sources, and the amount purchased from Allos or its designee.
(f) All orders placed by MMCO pursuant to this Section 3.4 will be sent by MMCO to Allos via courier, e-mail or facsimile, to the address, email address or facsimile number supplied by Allos.
3.5 API Purchase Orders; Firm Orders; Requirements.
(a) If MMCO desires to purchase from Allos API to be used by MMCO or its Affiliates for non-clinical use, it will submit a purchase order to Allos upon terms to be mutually agreed by the Parties (including delivery amounts, delivery dates and acceptance and cancellation of purchase orders), provided that the cost for such API ordered by MMCO shall be equal to Allos’ Year-End Actual Direct Cost. Any API purchase orders submitted by MMCO shall reference this Agreement and shall be governed exclusively as between this Agreement and the applicable API purchase order by the terms contained herein. If there is any inconsistency or
[***]: CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.
16
conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any provisions in any API purchase order, invoice or similar document furnished by MMCO or Allos to the other Party, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control except for matters of quality, in which case the Technical Agreement shall control.
(b) If MMCO desires to purchase from Allos API to be used by MMCO or its Affiliates or Third Party manufacturer in the manufacture of Bulk Product for use in the Licensed Territory pursuant to its license under Section 2.1(c) of the License Agreement, then MMCO and Allos shall amend this Agreement in good faith in order to enable Allos to supply MMCO and its Affiliates and their Sublicensees with API for such use in manufacturing Bulk Product (such amendment the “API Supply Amendment”). The API Supply Amendment shall include terms and conditions covering all aspects of such supply including forecasting, ordering, acceptance, rejection and price for such API ordered by MMCO, which shall be equal to Allos’ Year-End Actual Direct Cost.
3.6 Batch Samples. As more specifically set forth in the Technical Agreement, Allos will retain or cause to be retained a sample of each batch tested for at least the shelf life of the applicable Bulk Product plus one year, or such longer period as may be required by the Bulk Product Specifications or GMPs, provided that MMCO informs Allos in writing of any applicable retention requirement of an applicable Regulatory Authority in the Licensed Territory that exceeds the period required by the Bulk Product Specifications and Allos will use commercially reasonable efforts to retain or cause to be retained samples for such longer period.
3.7 Order Storage. MMCO may request that Allos store Bulk Product ordered by MMCO for up to [***] after the delivery date by providing Allos with at least [***] written notice prior to the delivery date of such Bulk Product purchase order in accordance with Section 3.4 with no additional payment obligations. Allos will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with MMCO’s requests under this Section 3.7. For clarity, such compliance will not change the delivery date for such Bulk Product, the shelf life of such Bulk Product on such delivery date pursuant to Section 3.8(a), or the timing for MMCO’s acceptance of such Bulk Product pursuant to Section 3.11 or the timing of payment for such Bulk Product pursuant to Section 5.4.
3.8 Delivery.
(a) Allos will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Bulk Product ordered by MMCO in accordance with the quantities and delivery dates specified in the applicable Firm Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.8(a), Bulk Product (i) in the [***] configuration for clinical use, (ii) in the [***] configuration for clinical use, and (iii) for commercial use (whether in the [***] configuration), will each have a shelf life from the delivery date of the Bulk Product (as specified in the Firm Order for such Bulk Product) as required by the Regulatory Authorities in the country where such Bulk Product is to be supplied, as set forth in the Shelf Life Schedule; provided, that the shelf life of such Bulk Product shall not be required to exceed [***].
[***]: CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.
17
(b) The Bulk Product will be delivered to MMCO [***] (Incoterms 2010) at [***] facility in [***] or at the manufacturing facility or Allos’ other supplier of Bulk Product, at Allos’ discretion, subject to the relevant local laws and regulations; provided, that the delivery terms for any Bulk Product delivered to MMCO in the U.S. shall be agreed in writing by the Parties at the time the applicable purchase order for such Bulk Product is placed and, subject to the provisions in Section 3.4(c), will become a Firm Order only upon the parties’ agreement on such delivery terms. The API will be delivered to MMCO [***] (Incoterms 2010) at the shipping dock of [***] storage facility in [***] or of Allos’ API supplier, at Allos’ discretion. MMCO will arrange for and be responsible for the cost of all freight, insurance charges, taxes, import and export duties, inspection fees and other charges applicable to the transport of Bulk Product or API purchased by MMCO hereunder. Allos will include in each shipment of Bulk Product or API hereunder an itemized packing list and all other documentation as required to be included by the Technical Agreement, and if Bulk Product or API is shipped under quarantine, the written consent thereto of one of MMCO’s Quality representatives.
3.9 Subsequent Export. MMCO will be responsible for the export or re-export of Bulk Product or API from the country of delivery, and will comply with all applicable Laws and regulations relating to the export or re-export of Bulk Product or API, including the prohibition against unlawful transshipments. Where Bulk Product or API are destined for export or re-export from the country of delivery, MMCO agrees and accepts that it shall act as the exporter of record, and warrants that as the exporter of record, it will duly authorize and retain an agent who will act on its behalf, assuming all attendant responsibilities associated with the export or re-export, including obtaining any necessary export licenses. MMCO’s responsibilities as the exporter of record include cooperating with its agent in providing a detailed description and accurate valuation and classification of the goods on the export commercial invoice, bills of lading, and all other required documentation. MMCO further agrees to defend Allos against any civil action, civil or criminal, private or public, in connection with the subsequent export or re-export by or on behalf of MMCO or its Affiliates or Sublicensees of such goods.
3.10 Bulk Product Release. The Technical Agreement contains provisions relating to the release of Bulk Product.
3.11 Acceptance and Rejection.
(a) API. Prior to delivering API ordered by MMCO pursuant to Section 3.5, Allos will provide MMCO with the Certificate of Analysis it received from its Third Party manufacturer with respect to such API. MMCO will notify Allos, within the longer of [***] or the period in which Allos has the right under its agreement with such Third Party manufacturer to reject such API, if its review of such Certificate of Analysis demonstrates that such API does not conform to the API Specifications or was not manufactured in accordance with GMP or is Adulterated or Misbranded. If MMCO provides such notice in a timely manner and Allos does not dispute in good faith MMCO’s review of such Certificate of Analysis or such dispute is resolved in MMCO’s favor pursuant to Section 3.11(c), then Allos will not deliver such API to MMCO and will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or identify substitute conforming
[***]: CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.
18
API for delivery to MMCO in accordance with this Section 3.11 and Section 3.8(b). If MMCO does not provide such notice in a timely manner then such API shall be considered accepted upon delivery by Allos in accordance with Section 3.8(b) and MMCO shall not have a right to reject it except with respect to a latent defect which existed at the time of delivery and was not discoverable by exercise of reasonable care and for which [***].
(b) Bulk Product. Within [***] after delivery of Bulk Product to MMCO in accordance with Section 3.8(b), if for any reason MMCO becomes aware that such Bulk Product did not conform to the Bulk Product Specifications, master batch record or relevant Bulk Product SOPs at the time of delivery, then MMCO will have the right to reject such defective shipment of the Bulk Product by giving written notice of rejection to Allos and specify the grounds for such rejection within such [***] period. If MMCO provides such notice within such period and Allos does not dispute in good faith such rejection or such dispute is resolved in MMCO’s favor pursuant to Section 3.11(c), then at Allos’ option, the defective shipment of the Bulk Product will be disposed of by MMCO or will be returned to Allos, in each case at Allos’ expense, MMCO will not be obligated to pay the invoice therefor in accordance with Section 5.4 and MMCO may, at its option, (i) require Allos to use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly replace the shipment of the defective Bulk Product with conforming Bulk Product as soon as reasonably practicable or (ii) inform Allos that it does not wish to receive replacement therefor, in which case the relevant Firm Order will be deemed cancelled. If MMCO does not provide such notice within such [***] period then such Bulk Product shall be considered accepted and MMCO shall not have a right to reject it except with respect to a latent defect which existed at the time of delivery and was not reasonably discoverable at the time of delivery and for which [***].
(c) If Allos disputes MMCO’s grounds for rejecting all or part of any shipment of the Bulk Product or API as set forth above, and such dispute is not resolved by mutual agreement of the Parties within [***] of MMCO’s notice of rejection, such dispute will be resolved by the Testing Laboratory. The final written determination of the Testing Laboratory with respect to all or part of any shipment will be final and binding upon each Party, but only as to reasons given by MMCO in rejecting the shipment or portion thereof and will have no effect on any matter for which the Testing Laboratory did not render a determination. The Testing Laboratory will render such determination within [***] of its appointment by the Parties. The fees and expenses of the Testing Laboratory will be paid by the Party against which the determination is made.
3.12 Third Party Contractors. The Parties acknowledge that Allos currently has a supply agreement with (i) [***], Allos’ Third Party manufacturer, for the manufacturing and supply of the Bulk Product, and (ii) [***], Allos’ Third Party manufacturer, for the manufacturing and supply of API. The Parties also acknowledge that Allos has qualified and validated [***] to manufacture and supply API and has a master services agreement with [***].
(a) The Parties further acknowledge that each of Allos’ supply agreements with [***] and [***] (i) have an initial term that will expire in [***] and (ii) contain provisions for automatic extension for [***] additional [***] terms unless either Party gives notice of intent to terminate. Allos will consult with MMCO with respect to any extension of, and engage in good
[***]: CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.
19
faith negotiations in consultation with MMCO, to improve the current terms of its supply agreements with [***] or [***]. Allos will also provide written notice to MMCO within [***] of any decision by Allos or any receipt of notice by [***] and/or [***] to not extend Allos’ supply agreement with [***] and/or its supply agreement with [***], respectively, in accordance with their respective terms.
(b) If either Party wishes to engage a Third Party manufacturer (a “Third Party Contractor”) to provide Bulk Product and/or API for its territory in addition to or in lieu of [***],[***] and [***], the proposing Party shall present to the other Party’s representatives on the JMC a proposal regarding such Third Party Contractor. The JMC shall discuss such proposed Third Party Contractor at its next meeting, whether regularly scheduled or specially requested under Section 3.2(c), and the proposing Party shall provide, within [***] after such JMC meeting (or such longer period of time as agreed upon in writing by the Parties), any additional information reasonably requested by the other Party’s JMC representatives prior to or during such JMC meeting.
(i) If within [***] after the JMC meeting at which a particular proposed Third Party Contractor is discussed (or such longer period of time as agreed upon in writing by the Parties) the other Party notifies the proposing Party in writing that the other Party wishes to obtain supply of API or Bulk Product, as applicable, from such proposed Third Party Contractor, then the costs associated with engaging, qualifying and maintaining such Third Party Contractor to supply Bulk Product or API, as applicable, for the Allos Territory and Licensed Territory will be [***] and will be [***], provided that if a proposed Third Party Contractor for the manufacture of Bulk Product or API is [***] or [***], then [***] shall be solely responsible for the costs associated with engaging, qualifying and maintaining such Third Party Contractor to supply Bulk Product or API. The proposing Party (such Party, the “Contracting Party”) may then negotiate in good faith and enter into an agreement with the Third Party Contractor; provided, however, (A) that the Contracting Party will provide the other Party with an opportunity to review and provide comments upon versions of the draft agreements with such Third Party Contractor and the other Party must consent to the final version of the contract; and (B) the Parties shall amend this Agreement as necessary to make it consistent with the relevant terms of such new supply agreement, including providing Allos with the ability to obtain supply from MMCO with terms consistent with those in this Agreement if MMCO is the Contracting Party. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties shall amend this Agreement to permit Allos to reject orders placed by MMCO pursuant to this Agreement if the Third Party Contractor has the right under the new supply agreement to reject an order placed by Allos that includes the amounts ordered by MMCO and the Third Party Contractor rejects such order. For clarity, if the other Party does not consent to the final version of the contract, then Section 3.12(b)(ii) shall apply instead of this Section 3.12(b)(i).
(ii) If (A) within [***] after the JMC meeting at which a particular proposed Third Party Contractor is discussed (or such longer period of time as agreed
[***]: CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.
20
upon in writing by the Parties) the other Party (1) has not notified the proposing Party in writing that it wishes to obtain supply of API or Bulk Product, as applicable, from the proposed Third Party Contractor or (2) has notified the proposing Party in writing that it does not wish to obtain supply of API or Bulk Product, as applicable, from such proposed Third Party Contractor; or (B) the other Party does not consent to the agreement with the proposed Third Party Contractor pursuant to Section 3.12(b)(i) above, then the proposing Party may engage such proposed Third Party Contractor independently in its sole discretion, at its own cost and without any further obligation to consult with or provide agreement drafts or information to the other Party, and the other Party shall not have any right to obtain supply of Bulk Product or API, as applicable, from such Third Party Contractor.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.12, and for the avoidance of doubt, the non-Contracting Party will have no liability of any kind to any Third Party Contractor for any breach by the Contracting Party or failure by the Contracting Party to satisfy its obligations to such Third Party Contractor under any contract, agreement or understanding that the Contracting Party has, may have or will have with such Third Party Contractor.
3.13 Records; Inspection; Quality Audits.
(a) Allos will maintain true and complete books and records of its data and all data provided by Allos’ Third Party manufacturers relating to the manufacture and supply of the Bulk Product delivered to MMCO hereunder. Upon at least [***] prior written notice, and during normal business hours, MMCO will have the right to inspect and review such books and records to the extent in Allos’ possession (including as set forth in the attached Technical Agreement) as may be necessary to ensure Allos’ compliance with the terms and conditions set forth above. To the extent Allos’ books and records do not contain certain data relating to the manufacture and supply of the Bulk Product delivered to MMCO hereunder and such data is in possession of Allos’ Third Party manufacturer, then upon MMCO’s reasonable request, Allos will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist MMCO in obtaining a copy of or access to such data from such Third Party manufacturer.
(b) Allos will provide MMCO with copies of the reports from its quality audits of [***],[***],[***] and its Third Party Contractors’ facilities with respect to the manufacture of Bulk Product or API, as more fully set forth in the Technical Agreement.
(c) Allos will allow MMCO one quality audit of Allos’ manufacturing records per Calendar Year to be carried out by MMCO’s employees or its designees upon reasonable notice and in accordance with Section 3.13(a).
3.14 Technical Assistance. Allos will furnish MMCO with such technical bulletins and data relative to the Bulk Product and API as reasonably appropriate from time to time. At MMCO’s request, Allos shall make available, to MICL or its Affiliate or its Third Party manufacturer who is a Sublicensee approved by Allos under the License Agreement, all Allos
[***]: CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.
21
Manufacturing Know-How, and shall provide such other reasonable assistance, as is required to enable such entity to manufacture API and/or Bulk Product, as applicable, and take such other reasonably necessary actions in furtherance thereof in accordance with Section 2.1(c) of the License Agreement. If such request is: (i) the result of [***], then [***]; (ii) [***], then [***]; and (iii) [***], then [***] shall be solely responsible for all of its costs under this Section 3.14. [***]. MMCO shall pay such invoice within [***].
4. SUPPLY SHORTFALL; SUPPLY INTERRUPTION.
4.1 Supply Shortfall; Bulk Product Shortfall.
(a) A supply shortfall shall be deemed to have taken place if: (i) Allos fails to deliver to MMCO by the delivery date specified in the Firm Order for Bulk Product the quantities of Bulk Product ordered by MMCO under such Firm Order; or (ii) MMCO rejects a shipment pursuant to Section 3.11 due to non-conformity of the Bulk Product to the Bulk Product Specifications. Allos shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cure any such supply shortfall as soon as practicable.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, if Allos’ Third Party manufacturer of Bulk Product is not able to supply the full quantity of Bulk Product set forth in purchase orders placed by Allos during a Calendar Quarter that includes either (i) Bulk Product for both MMCO and Allos, (ii) Bulk Product only for Allos or (iii) Bulk Product only for MMCO, then the quantity of Bulk Product that is supplied by such Third Party manufacturer on account of such purchase orders shall be allocated between MMCO and Allos based upon the volume ratio of units of Bulk Product ordered by each Party for the Calendar Quarter during which the shortfall occurred.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.1 will not supersede or otherwise limit Allos’ obligations to supply Bulk Product as set forth in this Agreement.
4.2 Supply Interruption.
(a) In the event that (i) Allos is unable to fully deliver ordered Bulk Product to MMCO within [***] of the specified delivery date in the relevant Firm Order (including meeting Specifications) or (ii) a supply shortfall under Section 4.1(a) has occurred in [***] Calendar Quarters (each, a “Supply Interruption”), then the Parties will meet to discuss possible solutions and (i) Allos will use commercially reasonable efforts to supply the undelivered Bulk Product at a future date agreed upon by the Parties (as to which a failure to deliver will be deemed to be an additional Supply Interruption), and (ii) if available, Allos will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Bulk Product necessary to meet MMCO’s requirements from a different Third Party Contractor of Allos (provided such Bulk Product has not already been ordered by Allos for its own supply or the supply of its licensee in the Allos Territory). For so long as a Supply Interruption remains uncured, MMCO will have the right, at its sole election, to purchase all of its requirements for Bulk Product directly from any Third Party Contractor of MMCO.

5. PRICE AND PAYMENT TERMS.
5.1 Price. For API or Bulk Product delivered to MMCO, MMCO will pay to Allos, during the term of this Agreement, the applicable Transfer Price for the Calendar Year in which such delivery occurs; provided, however, that within [***] after the end of each Calendar Year, the Parties will perform an accounting, in respect of each unit of Bulk Product or API sold during such calendar year, to determine the difference between (x) the applicable Transfer Price and (y) the applicable Year-End Actual Direct Cost, in each case for such Bulk Product or API delivered to MMCO during such Calendar Year (the “Cost Differential”). If the Cost Differential shows an overpayment by MMCO, then Allos shall refund and remit to MMCO, within [***] of the determination of the Cost Differential, an amount equal to such overpayment. If the Cost Differential shows an underpayment by MMCO, then MMCO shall pay to Allos, within [***] of the determination of the Cost Differential, an amount equal to such underpayment.
5.2 Reimbursement of Joint Manufacturing Costs
(a) MMCO shall be responsible for the MMCO Share of all Joint Manufacturing Costs. Within [***] after the end of each Calendar Quarter during which Allos has incurred any Joint Manufacturing Costs, Allos shall submit to MMCO a reasonably detailed invoice setting forth the total Joint Manufacturing Costs incurred by Allos in such Calendar Quarter and invoicing MMCO for the MMCO Share of such Joint Manufacturing Costs. MMCO shall pay to Allos the amount invoiced within [***] after the receipt of such invoice.
(b) Allos shall be responsible for the Allos Share of all Joint Manufacturing Costs. Within [***] after the end of each Calendar Quarter during which MMCO has incurred any Joint Manufacturing Costs, MMCO shall submit to Allos a reasonably detailed invoice setting forth the total Joint Manufacturing Costs incurred by MMCO in such calendar quarter and invoicing Allos for the Allos Share of such Joint Manufacturing Costs. Allos shall pay to MMCO the amount invoiced within [***] after the receipt of such invoice.
(c) All payments made by a Party pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be non-refundable.
5.3 Calculation of Transfer Price and Actual Direct Cost.
(a) Transfer Price. For each Calendar Year during the Term, Allos will calculate a Transfer Price for API and a Transfer Price for each presentation of Bulk Product for such Calendar Year. Such calculation shall be made by Allos based upon anticipated worldwide volumes of API or Bulk Product from Allos’ suppliers, as applicable, for such Calendar Year. Such Transfer Price shall be (i) for each presentation of Bulk Product, the Bulk Product Anticipated Direct Cost for such presentation, plus [***] and (ii) for API, the API Anticipated
[***]: CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.
23
Direct Cost, plus [***], in the case of (i), as exemplified in the sample calculation shown in the spreadsheet attached as Exhibit C, which is provided for informational purposes and does not establish any obligations or reflect any expectations with respect to the amount of any Transfer Price. Allos shall give written notice to MMCO of the Transfer Price for each Calendar Year (other than 2011) no later than [***] before the beginning of such Calendar Year. Allos shall provide MMCO with written documentation showing the basis for such Transfer Price calculations.
(b) Year-End Actual Direct Cost. After the end of each Calendar Year during the Term, Allos will calculate the Year-End Actual Direct Cost for API and each presentation of Bulk Product for such Calendar Year. Such calculation shall be made by Allos based upon actual worldwide volumes of API or Bulk Product from Allos’ suppliers, as applicable, for such Calendar Year. Such Year-End Actual Direct Cost shall be (i) for each presentation of Bulk Product, the Bulk Product Actual Direct Cost for such presentation, plus [***] and (ii) for API, the API Actual Direct Cost, plus [***], in the case of (i), as exemplified in the sample calculation shown in the spreadsheet attached as Exhibit C, which is provided for informational purposes and does not establish any obligations or reflect any expectations with respect to the amount of any Year-End Actual Direct Cost. Allos shall give written notice to MMCO of the Year-End Actual Direct Cost for each Calendar Year no later than [***] after the end of such Calendar Year. Allos shall provide MMCO with written documentation showing the basis for such Year-End Actual Direct Cost calculations. In the event that a Year-End Actual Direct Cost for such Calendar Year is not determinable because no Bulk Product or API was purchased by Allos in such year, the [***] from [***] shall apply.
5.4 Payment. Upon delivery of the Bulk Product or API to MMCO, Allos will invoice MMCO therefor. MMCO will pay each invoice in full within [***] after the receipt of each invoice, unless delivery is validly rejected by MMCO in accordance with this Agreement.
5.5 Audit Request.
(a) Year-End Actual Direct Cost. Allos will keep complete, true and accurate books and records for the purpose of determining Year-End Actual Direct Cost for API or Bulk Product delivered to MMCO hereunder. Allos will permit an independent certified public accountant chosen by MMCO and reasonably acceptable to Allos, which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld, to conduct audits of such books and records related to the determination of such Year-End Actual Direct Cost that the independent certified public accountant in its judgment considers relevant, in order to verify such Year-End Actual Direct Cost. Such books and records will be kept at the principal place of business of Allos for at least three years following the end of the calendar month to which they pertain. Such inspections may be made no more than once each calendar year, at reasonable times and on reasonable notice, and shall not include books and records that were previously inspected. Allos will be required to respond to the independent auditor’s data requests within [***]. If, as a result of any audit of the books and records of Allos, it is shown that there is a variance in the amount paid by MMCO under
[***]: CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.
24
Section 5.1 of this Agreement after calculation and payment of the Cost Differential with respect to the period of time audited as compared to the amount that should have been paid under Section 5.1, then (i) if such variance shows an overpayment by MMCO, then Allos will, within [***] after MMCO’s demand therefor, pay to MMCO the amount of such overpayment, together with interest on such overpaid amount at the rate of [***] over the prime rate of interest per annum reported in The Wall Street Journal for the date such amount was due (and which interest on such overpaid amount will continue to accrue during any resolution of a dispute regarding payment hereunder), and (ii) if such variance shows an underpayment by MMCO, then MMCO will, within [***] after Allos’ demand therefor, pay to Allos the amount of such overpayment, together with interest on such overpaid amount at the rate of [***] over the prime rate of interest per annum reported in The Wall Street Journal for the date such amount was due (and which interest on such underpaid amount will continue to accrue during any resolution of a dispute regarding payment hereunder). Inspections conducted under this Section 5.5(a) will be at the expense of MMCO, unless a variation or error producing an overpayment of amounts payable under Section 5.1 exceeding [***] of the amount paid for the period covered by the inspection is established in the course of such inspection, whereupon all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses relating to the inspection for such period will also be paid by Allos to MMCO. If the independent certified public accountant finds a variation or error producing an overpayment amounts payable under Section 5.1 exceeding [***] of the amount paid for any period covered by the inspection, MMCO will have the additional right to make inspections twice per year for the next two years. The independent certified public accountant will present both Parties with a preliminary report of its findings and provide both Parties with an opportunity to respond to any questions raised or issues identified before issuing any final reports. Such reports shall be deemed the Confidential Information of Allos.
(b) Joint Manufacturing Costs. Each Party will keep complete, true and accurate books and records for the purpose of determining Joint Manufacturing Costs incurred by such Party hereunder. Each Party will permit an independent certified public accountant chosen by the other Party (such Party, in such case, the “Auditing Party”) and reasonably acceptable to such audited Party (such Party, in such case, the “Audited Party”), which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld, to conduct audits of such books and records related to the determination of such Joint Manufacturing Costs that the independent certified public accountant in its judgment considers relevant, in order to verify such Joint Manufacturing Costs. Such books and records will be kept at the principal place of business of the Audited Party for at least three years following the end of the calendar month to which they pertain. Such inspections may be made no more than once each Calendar Year, at reasonable times and on reasonable notice, and shall not include books and records that were previously inspected. The Audited Party will be required to respond to the independent auditor’s data requests within [***]. If, as a result of any audit of the books and records of the Audited Party, it is shown that there is a variance in the amount paid by the Auditing Party under Section 5.2 of this Agreement with respect to the period of time audited as compared to the amount that should have been paid under Section 5.2, then (i) if such variance shows an overpayment by the Auditing Party, then the Audited Party will, within [***] after the Auditing Party’s demand therefor, pay to the Auditing
[***]: CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.
25
Party the amount of such overpayment, together with interest on such overpaid amount at the rate of [***] over the prime rate of interest per annum reported in The Wall Street Journal for the date such amount was due (and which interest on such overpaid amount will continue to accrue during any resolution of a dispute regarding payment hereunder), and (ii) if such variance shows an underpayment by the Auditing Party, then the Auditing Party will, within [***] after the Audited Party’s demand therefor, pay to the Auditing Party the amount of such overpayment, together with interest on such overpaid amount at the rate of [***] over the prime rate of interest per annum reported in The Wall Street Journal for the date such amount was due (and which interest on such underpaid amount will continue to accrue during any resolution of a dispute regarding payment hereunder). Inspections conducted under this Section 5.5(b) will be at the expense of the Auditing Party, unless a variation or error producing an overpayment of amounts payable under Section 5.2 exceeding [***] of the amount paid for the period covered by the inspection is established in the course of such inspection, whereupon all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses relating to the inspection for such period will also be paid by the Audited Party to the Auditing Party. If the independent certified public accountant finds a variation or error producing an overpayment amounts payable under Section 5.2 exceeding [***] of the amount paid for any period covered by the inspection, the Auditing Party will have the additional right to make inspections twice per year for the next two years. The independent certified public accountant will present both Parties with a preliminary report of its findings and provide both Parties with an opportunity to respond to any questions raised or issues identified before issuing any final reports. Such reports shall be deemed the Confidential Information of the Audited Party.
5.6 Late Payments. If Allos does not receive payment of any sum due to it on or before the due date, simple interest shall thereafter accrue on the sum due to Allos until the date of payment at the per annum rate of [***] over the then-current prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal or the maximum rate allowable by applicable Laws, whichever is lower. In addition to other remedies available to Allos in the event that MMCO fails to make any payment within [***] of the date due hereunder, Allos may refuse to accept all future purchase orders and refuse to deliver Bulk Product or API pursuant to pending Firm Orders until MMCO’s account is paid in full.
6. REGULATORY MATTERS.
6.1 Specification Approval. The Specifications attached hereto as Exhibit A for API and Bulk Product delivered to MMCO are the same as the specifications for API and Bulk Product procured by Allos as of the Effective Date for its own use. Changes made to such Specifications in accordance with this Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 shall retain such consistency with the then-current specifications for API and Bulk Product procured by Allos at such time for its own use, except to the extent any changes are required by Regulatory Authorities in the Licensed Territory. Allos agrees to make no changes to the API Specifications or the Bulk Product Specifications without following the procedures set forth in this Section 6.1 or Section 6.2. Allos will notify MMCO in writing at least [***] prior to filing any planned changes in the

manufacturing process that are reportable to a Regulatory Authority or any planned changes in Specifications. MMCO will have the right to review and approve or reject such changes; provided, however, that MMCO will not have the right to reject any such changes which are mandated by applicable Laws or changes thereto. If Allos decides to implement a change to the manufacturing process for API or Bulk Product and such change is not required to be reported to a Regulatory Authority and does not change the applicable Specifications, then Allos shall notify MMCO in writing of such change promptly after Allos’ decision to implement such change. For clarity, MMCO will not have the right to approve or reject such change.
6.2 Required Specification Changes. Allos will maintain a system (consistent with standard industry practice) to control and implement changes to API Specifications and Bulk Product Specifications, manufacturing processes and qualification procedures, in accordance with GMPs and other applicable Laws in the United States, the European Countries or under ICH Guidelines. Each Party will provide written notice in a timely manner to the other Party of any other applicable Laws in their respective territories that require any such changes. Any costs associated with changes to the Specifications required by Regulatory Authorities in the Licensed Territory that are not also required in the U.S. or Canada will be [***]. Any costs associated with changes to the API Specifications and Bulk Product Specifications procured by Allos for its own use required by Regulatory Authorities in the U.S. or Canada will be [***] unless such changes are also required by Regulatory Authorities in the Licensed Territory, in which case [***].
6.3 Communications with Regulatory Authorities. The Technical Agreement contains provisions relating to reporting and filing obligations to Regulatory Authorities with respect to manufacture of Bulk Product. As more fully set forth in the Technical Agreement, both Parties will promptly provide to each other copies of correspondence to and from any Regulatory Authority relating to or impacting the manufacture of any Bulk Product, including correspondence to, from or among [***], any Third Party Contractors and any Regulatory Authority with respect to the Bulk Product.
6.4 Complaints. The Technical Agreement contains provisions relating to complaints.
6.5 Adverse Drug Experience Information. The Pharmacovigilance Agreements contain provisions relating to adverse drug experiences.
6.6 Good Manufacturing Practices. The Technical Agreement contains provisions relating to GMPs. If Allos’ failure to comply with applicable Laws causes a Supply Interruption, Section 4 of this Agreement will apply.
6.7 Bulk Product or Product Recalls or Seizure. As more fully described in the Technical Agreement, the Parties will discuss all manufacturing-related recalls through the JMC. Allos will handle all such recalls except that MMCO will handle any recalls in the event that the manufacturing issues that are the basis for such recall are specific to the Licensed Territory and do not have any effect on the Allos Territory.

7. INSURANCE.
7.1 Each Party shall procure and maintain insurance, including product liability insurance, or shall self-insure, in each case in a manner adequate to cover its obligations hereunder and consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated at all times during which any Bulk Product or the labeled, packaged version thereof is being manufactured, clinically tested or commercially distributed or sold by such Party. It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of either Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under Section 8 of this Agreement. Each Party shall provide the other Party with written evidence of such insurance or self-insurance upon request. Each Party shall provide the other Party with written notice at least 30 days prior to the cancellation, non renewal or if there is a material change in or to such insurance.
8. INDEMNIFICATION.
8.1 Indemnification by Allos. Allos shall, at its sole expense, defend, indemnify, and hold MMCO and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (the “MMCO Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all Third Party claims, suits, proceedings, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and recoveries involving property damage or personal injury (including death) (collectively, “Claims”) to the extent that such Claims arise out of, are based on, or result from (a) the breach of any of Allos’ representations and warranties set forth in Sections 9.1 or 9.3 and covenants under Sections 9.4(b)-(d) and 9.5, and (b) the willful misconduct or negligent acts of Allos, its Affiliates, or the officers, directors, employees, or agents of Allos or its Affiliates. The foregoing indemnity obligation shall not apply (x) to the extent that (i) the MMCO Indemnitees fail to comply with the indemnification procedures set forth in Section 8.3 and Allos’ defense of the relevant Claims is prejudiced by such failure or (ii) such Claims arise out of or result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the MMCO Indemnitees, or any related breach by MMCO of its representations, warranties and/or covenants hereunder; or (y) to Claims for which MMCO has an obligation to indemnify Allos pursuant to Section 8.2, as to which Claims each Party shall indemnify the other to the extent of its liability for such Claims.
8.2 Indemnification by MMCO. MMCO shall, at its sole expense, defend, indemnify, and hold Allos and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (the “Allos Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all Claims to the extent that such Claims arise out of, are based on, or result from (a) the breach of any of MMCO’s representations and warranties set forth in Sections 9.2 or 9.3 and covenants under Section 9.5, and (b) the willful misconduct or negligent acts of MMCO, its Affiliates, or the officers, directors, employees, or agents of MMCO or its Affiliates. The foregoing indemnity obligation shall not apply (x) to the extent that (i) the Allos Indemnitees fail to comply with the indemnification procedures set forth in Section 8.3 and MMCO’s defense of the relevant Claims is prejudiced by such failure or (ii) such Claims arise out of or result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Allos Indemnitees, or any related breach by Allos of its representations, warranties and/or covenants hereunder; or (y) to Claims for which Allos has an obligation to indemnify MMCO pursuant to Section 8.1, as to which Claims each Party shall indemnify the other to the extent of its liability for such Claims.
28
8.3 Indemnification Procedures. The Party claiming indemnity under this Section 8 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the Party from whom indemnity is being sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after learning of such Claim. The Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with reasonable assistance, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, in connection with the defense of the Claim for which indemnity is being sought. The Indemnified Party may participate in and monitor such defense with counsel of its own choosing at its sole expense; provided, however, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume and conduct the defense of the Claim with counsel of its choice. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, unless the settlement involves only the payment of money. So long as the Indemnifying Party is actively defending the Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of the Claim as provided above, (a) the Indemnified Party may defend against, consent to the entry of any judgment, or enter into any settlement with respect to such Claim in any manner the Indemnified Party may deem reasonably appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), and (b) the Indemnifying Party shall remain responsible to indemnify the Indemnified Party as provided in this Article 8.
8.4 Allos’ Third Party Manufacturers. If a Third Party brings a Claim against an MMCO Indemnitee on account of (i) failure of Bulk Product supplied by Allos pursuant to this Agreement to comply with GMP, (ii) Bulk Product supplied by Allos pursuant to this Agreement being Adulterated or Misbranded or (iii) the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of Allos’ Third Party manufacturer, and such MMCO Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification by Allos pursuant to Section 8.1 but Allos is entitled, pursuant to its supply agreement with the Third Party manufacturer that produced such Bulk Product, to indemnification from such Third Party manufacturer on account of such non-compliance, Adulteration, Misbranding, negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct, then Allos shall, at MMCO’s request, pursue its claim for indemnification from such Third Party manufacturer and shall pay to MMCO any amounts that Allos receives from such Third Party manufacturer on account of such indemnification claim, after deducting all legal fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Allos with respect to such pursuit.

12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
12.1 Arbitration. In the event of any disputes, controversies or differences which may arise between the Parties (except for disputes arising from the JMC, which shall be handled pursuant to Section 12.2 and only handled pursuant to this Section 12.1 as provided in Section 12.2), out of or in relation to or in connection with this Agreement, including any alleged failure to perform, or breach, of this Agreement, or any issue relating to the interpretation or application of this Agreement, then upon the request of either Party, the Parties agree to meet and discuss in good faith a possible resolution thereof, which good faith efforts shall include at least one in-person meeting between the Executive Officers of each Party. If the matter is not resolved within [***] following the request for discussions, either Party may then invoke arbitration under this Section 12.1. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the validity, construction, interpretation, enforceability, breach, performance, application or termination of this Agreement that is not resolved pursuant to Section 12.2 or by the Parties meeting in good faith to resolve such dispute, controversy or claim as outlined above, shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect (the “JAMS Rules”), except as otherwise provided herein. The arbitration will be conducted in New York, New York and the Parties consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in New York, New York, for any case arising out of or otherwise related to this arbitration, its conduct and its enforcement. Any situation not expressly covered by this Agreement shall be decided in accordance with the JAMS Rules.
12.2 Referred from JMC. With respect to disputes arising from matters delegated or referred to the JMC pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such dispute shall be automatically referred to the JPC. If the JPC fails to reach unanimous agreement on such matter within [***], then either Party may, by written notice to the other Party, have such dispute referred to each Party’s Executive Officers for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations within [***] after such notice is received. If the Executive Officers of the Parties are not able to resolve a dispute within the [***] period described above, then the Executive Officers of Allos will have the unilateral right to cast the deciding vote for the JMC as provided in Section 12.2(a):
(a) Allos Decisions. Solely with respect to Bulk Product or API supplied by or on behalf of Allos, the Executive Officers of Allos shall have the right to make the final decision with respect to any decision regarding manufacture of the Bulk Product or API (including matters related to CMC, process development, scale up, or regulatory matters or aspects related to manufacture of the Bulk Product), except where MMCO reasonably believes either that such decision is substantially likely to cause a material adverse impact on the regulatory status or the commercial sales of the Bulk Product in the Licensed Territory and would not have a similar effect in the Allos Territory or that such decision poses a substantial and unwarranted safety risk.
If the Executive Officers of Allos do not have the right to cast the deciding vote for the JMC pursuant to this Section 12.2, then either Party may submit the dispute for resolution pursuant to Section 12.1.

12.3 Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding Sections 12.1 and 12.2, each Party acknowledges that its breach of Article 11 of this Agreement may cause irreparable harm to the other Party, which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated by damages in an action at law. By reason thereof, each Party agrees that the other Party shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, to seek preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief from any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in New York, New York to prevent or curtail any actual or threatened breach of Article 11 that is reasonably likely to cause it irreparable harm. In addition, notwithstanding Sections 12.1 and 12.2, to the fullest extent provided by Law, either Party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) to protect a Party’s rights or enforce a Party’s obligations under this Agreement pending final resolution of any claims related thereto pursuant to the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Sections 12.1 and 12.2.
13. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Each Party shall act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give either Party the power or authority to act for, bind, or commit the other Party in any way. Nothing herein shall be construed to create the relationship of partners, principal and agent, or joint-venture partners between the Parties.
14. MISCELLANEOUS.
14.1 Force Majeure. Both Parties shall be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by force majeure and the non-performing Party promptly provides notice of the prevention to the other Party. Such excuse shall continue for so long as the condition constituting force majeure continues and the non-performing Party takes reasonable efforts to remove the condition. For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure shall include conditions beyond the control of the Parties, including an act of God, war, civil commotion, terrorist act, epidemic, failure or default of public utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, earthquake, storm or like catastrophe, and failure of plant or machinery (provided that such failure could not have been prevented by the exercise of skill, diligence, and prudence that would be reasonably and ordinarily expected from a skilled and experienced person engaged in the same type of undertaking under the same or similar circumstances). If a force majeure persists for more than 90 days, then the Parties will discuss in good faith the modification of the Parties’ obligations under this Agreement in order to mitigate the delays caused by such force majeure.
14.2 Assignment. Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that a Party may make such an assignment without the other Party’s consent to its Affiliates or to a Third Party successor to substantially all of the business of such Party to which this Agreement relates (such Third Party, an “Acquiror”), whether in a merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or other transaction. Any successor or assignee of rights and/or obligations permitted hereunder shall, in writing to the other Party, expressly assume performance of such rights and/or obligations. Unless to an Affiliate, any assignment or transfer of this Agreement must be done together with an assignment or transfer of the License Agreement. Any permitted assignment shall be binding on the successors of the assigning Party. Any assignment or attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the terms of this Section 14.2 shall be null, void and of no legal effect.
37
14.3 Governing Law. This Agreement and all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or any breach hereof shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would require the application of the laws of a different state.

14.9 Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be or is taken, the provision shall be considered severed from this Agreement and shall not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof. The Parties shall make a good faith effort to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.
14.10 No Waiver. Any delay in enforcing a Party’s rights under this Agreement or any waiver as to a particular default or other matter shall not constitute a waiver of such Party’s rights to the future enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, except with respect to an express written and signed waiver relating to a particular matter for a particular period of time.
