5.1.1 | within [***] of the Effective Date, an [***] forecast, broken down on [***] basis, for the period beginning [***]; |
5.1.2 | thereafter every [***] until [***], an updated forecast prepared on the same basis; |
5.1.3 | within [***], and thereafter every calendar month not later than the [***], a rolling eighteen (18) month forecast, broken down on [***] basis for the first [***] and [***] basis for the remaining [***], for the period commencing at the beginning of the following [***] in a form substantially similar to that which is mutually agreed by the Parties ("Forecast"); and |
5.1.4 | not later than [***], a [***] forecast, broken down on a [***] basis. |
Each Forecast made by Zogenix shall supersede any previous Forecast. Forecast quantities for any [***] shall not be less than seventy-five percent (75%) nor more than [***] of the aggregate forecast quantity for the previous [***], without the prior written agreement of Alkermes. For any [***] Forecasts that exceed these limitations, Alkermes will work in good faith with Zogenix through the Supply Committee to fulfil, delay or cancel outstanding Purchase Orders or minimize costs, taking into consideration Alkermes’s supply chain commitments in reference to Commercial Product, other manufacturing commitments and other capacity constraints.
5.2 | Additional Forecast for Procurement Quota.

*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
7
In this regard, the Parties shall negotiate and mutually agree not later than [***] a forecast for the supply of Compound for the [***], broken down on [***] ("Quota Forecast"). The Quota Forecast shall be in addition to and not in substitution for the Forecasts. Alkermes shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to procure Compound in accordance with the Quota Forecast. Zogenix shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain sufficient quantities of Zogenix Commercial Product Procurement Quota, if required, to accept Commercial Product manufactured by Alkermes in compliance with the then-applicable Forecast and Quota Forecast.
5.3 | Increased Capacity. If at any time after Commercial Product launch the Forecasts exceed Alkermes' then-current Manufacturing capacity, Alkermes and Zogenix shall meet and discuss in good faith ways in which additional Alkermes capacity may be secured to meet the Forecasts. If the additional capacity requires Alkermes capital expenditure, then the Parties shall negotiate (a) [***] which shall ensure the Commercially Reasonable utilisation of such capital equipment or (b) the [***], in each case, taking into account other products which could be manufactured on such equipment. For clarity, the maintenance of then-current Manufacturing capacity, even if the purchase of replacement capital equipment is required, shall be at Alkermes’ sole cost and expense. |

For clarity, once a Purchase Order has been accepted (a “Confirmed Order”), Zogenix shall be required to compensate Alkermes pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for any Commercial Product manufactured under such Confirmed Order, even if Zogenix or a Zogenix third party designee is unable to accept delivery of such Commercial Product because of insufficient Commercial Product Procurement Quota or lack of a valid DEA registration by Zogenix or Zogenix’s third party designee to receive such Commercial Product. |
5.4.2 | Validation batches that are manufactured for potential use as Commercial Product/Launch Stock shall be forecasted, ordered, delivered and paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. In conjunction with execution of this Agreement, Zogenix has submitted and Alkermes has accepted and confirmed a binding Purchase Order for validation batches that may be used as Commercial Product/Launch Stock which contains a delivery date that has been mutually agreed by the Parties. For other Launch Stock (if any), Zogenix shall submit a binding Purchase Order in which the date for delivery of the Commercial Product specified by Zogenix shall be not less than [***] following acceptance of such Purchase Order by Alkermes, taking into account Available Quota. On the first business day of each [***] after First Approval, Zogenix shall submit to Alkermes a Purchase Order for the quantity of Commercial Product specified in the first four (4) months of the last Forecast, less any Confirmed Orders or Launch Stock for delivery in that period. Unless otherwise agreed by Alkermes, the date for delivery of the Commercial Product specified by Zogenix shall be not less than four (4) months following acceptance of each Purchase Order by Alkermes. |
5.4.3 | Upon receipt of a Purchase Order Alkermes shall either accept or reject (to the extent entitled) the Purchase Order by written notification to Zogenix within [***] after receipt of the applicable Purchase Order. An accepted Purchase Order shall be a "Confirmed Order," subject to Alkermes’ ability to obtain sufficient Procurement Quota for Compound to Manufacture such Commercial Product. |
5.4.4 | Alkermes shall be entitled to reject any Purchase Order that does not conform to Clause 5.4.1 or that part of a Purchase Order that: |

(b) | exceeds the Available Quota; |
(c) | exceeds (or in conjunction with Confirmed Orders in the relevant period exceeds) Alkermes's then-current maximum manufacturing capacity, which Alkermes shall have previously shared with Zogenix in a timely manner through the Supply Committee; or |
(d) | requests partial Batches or less than a single Batch or where the total aggregate amount of Commercial Product ordered in a Purchase Order, when taken as a whole, does not [***]. |
If Alkermes in its absolute discretion chooses to accept a Purchase Order that Alkermes is not required to accept pursuant to this Clause 5.4.4 or that may otherwise be rejected by Alkermes in accordance with this Agreement, that fulfilment shall not affect Alkermes's right to reject any subsequent Purchase Order that it may not be required to accept pursuant to Clause 5.4.4 or that may otherwise be rejected by Alkermes in accordance with this Agreement.
5.4.5 | The terms of this Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into each Purchase Order submitted by Zogenix. No other terms or conditions, including any contained in a Purchase Order, shall apply to the sale and purchase of Commercial Product as between the Parties except pursuant to a modification duly executed as provided in this Agreement. |
5.5 | Safety Stocks. Zogenix shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to build during the first [***] and thereafter to maintain an inventory of Commercial Product [***] which is not less than the equivalent of the [***] ("Safety Stocks"), subject to Available Quota for the Commercial Product.

For this purpose and provided that Zogenix has exercised its right to validate a second manufacturing facility, Alkermes shall develop a plan of activities to enable the Second Facility to Manufacture and supply commercial quantities of Commercial Product to Zogenix in compliance with Product Specifications. Zogenix shall be responsible for the reasonable costs of all such activities, including all operator charges, Third Party expenses and the costs associated |
11
with employing Alkermes personnel to facilitate the technology transfer, which shall be invoiced to Zogenix at Alkermes's then-current FTE (full time equivalent) rate.
9.3 | Costs of Second Facility. |
9.3.1 | Zogenix shall be responsible for any costs associated with the scale up, validation and maintenance of any Second Facility and any equipment purchased by Second Facility to support and facilitate the Manufacture and supply of Commercial Product from the Second Facility; provided, however, Zogenix shall not be responsible for maintenance costs associated with unused capacity of any Alkermes-operated Second Facility in excess of amounts forecasted in the then-applicable Forecasts. |
9.3.2 | If Commercial Product is supplied from a Second Facility operated by a Third Party, Zogenix shall make compensating payments to Alkermes pursuant to Clause 16.5. |
9.3.3 | Where the Second Facility is operated by a Third Party: |
(a) | in no event shall any supply by the Second Facility exceed (i) [***] of Zogenix’s total aggregate requirements of Commercial Product for any [***] and, only if and when applicable, (ii) additional amounts of Commercial Product that Zogenix is entitled to obtain from a Third Party manufacturer in accordance with Clause 10 of this Agreement; |
(b) | any Third Party operator of the Second Facility (“Third Party Second Facility Operator”) shall directly invoice Zogenix for any Commercial Product Manufactured by the Third Party Second Facility Operator and Zogenix shall pay the Third Party Second Facility Operator for any such Commercial Product; and |
(c) | Zogenix shall be solely responsible for organizing and fully reimbursing the Third Party Second Facility Operator for all Materials, equipment, licenses, and process and equipment validations required by applicable law or regulations for the Second Facility operated by a Third Party and for ensuring such Second Facility passes all inspections required to Manufacture and supply Commercial Product through the Second Facility. |
9.3.4 | Where the Second Facility is operated by Alkermes or an Alkermes Affiliate, Zogenix shall compensate Alkermes (or its Affiliate, as directed by Alkermes) for Commercial Product supplied at [***] and any other costs incurred by Alkermes or its Affiliate in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. |
10. | FAILURE TO SUPPLY |
10.1 | Notification of Failure to Supply. Subject to Zogenix keeping Alkermes informed as to their inventory position, if at any time during the Term, Alkermes anticipates that there will be a Failure to Supply, then Alkermes shall (a) give Zogenix prompt notice thereof and (b) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to fulfil Purchase Orders with such quantities of Commercial Product as are available through itself on a timely basis. |
10.2 | Failure to Supply. In the event of a Failure to Supply and subject to the terms of this Clause 10, for so long as there is a Failure to Supply, Zogenix shall be entitled to obtain its requirements of Commercial Product from the Designated Manufacturer, as defined in Clause 9.1 of the License Agreement and pursuant to the provisions of the Manufacturing License granted to Zogenix in Clause 9 of the License Agreement. For clarity, the Third Party Second Facility Operator may be the Designated Manufacturer. |
10.3 | Supply Resumption. When Alkermes remedies the cause of the Failure to Supply and is once again able to fulfil Zogenix's Confirmed Orders, Alkermes shall so notify Zogenix (the "Resumption Notice") and Zogenix shall cease, or procure that the Designated Manufacturer ceases, Manufacturing the |

12
Commercial Product and shall resume purchasing the Commercial Product exclusively from Alkermes pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided that Zogenix shall be entitled to continue to obtain Commercial Product from the Designated Manufacturer pursuant to the Manufacturing License to the extent that [***].
10.4 | Responsibility. In manufacturing the Commercial Product pursuant to the Manufacturing License, as between Alkermes and Zogenix, Zogenix shall be solely responsible for all costs, Procurement Quotas for Compound and Commercial Product, licenses, process and equipment validation required by applicable law or regulations for a Designated Manufacturer which is a Third Party and shall, subject to Alkermes obligations set forth in Clause 10.5, take all steps reasonably necessary to enable a Designated Manufacturer which is a Third Party to Manufacture Commercial Product. |
10.5 | Technology Transfer. In the event of (a) a Failure to Supply or (b) where the circumstances set forth in Clause 12.3.2, 12.3.3 or 12.3.4 of the License Agreement apply to Alkermes but Zogenix does not terminate this Agreement, Zogenix may notify Alkermes that it wishes to effect a technology transfer. Upon receipt of such notice (and as previously set out in the License Agreement in Clause 9.4), Alkermes shall: |
10.5.1 | provide Zogenix with any technical data incorporated in the Elan Know-How, including access to the CMC Section to give effect to the provisions of Clause 9.1 of the License Agreement and Alkermes shall promptly provide to Zogenix the documentation constituting the required material support, more particularly practical performance and advice, shop practice, specifications as to materials to be used and control methods; and |
10.5.2 | assist Zogenix for a period of [***] with the working up and use of the technology and with the training of Zogenix personnel which may be reasonably necessary in relation to the exercise of the Manufacturing License, including receiving Zogenix representatives in its or its Affiliates’ premises for limited periods as may be agreed upon by the Parties. |
Zogenix shall reimburse Alkermes for any actual and reasonable costs incurred in connection with any transfer of technology pursuant to this Clause 10 within [***]. For clarity, such a transfer of technology is solely for the purposes of the Manufacturing License and shall not be deemed to permit Zogenix to Manufacture or obtain supplies of Commercial Product from a Third Party other than as expressly set out in this Clause 10. By way of example, although this technology transfer permits Zogenix to effect a technology transfer where Alkermes goes into liquidation or receivership and Zogenix decides not to terminate this Agreement, it does not entitle Zogenix to utilize such technology transfer or the Manufacturing License granted under the License Agreement except where there has been a Failure to Supply and Alkermes shall be entitled to resume supplying the Commercial Product in such circumstances in accordance with this Clause 10.
10.6 | Sole Remedy For Failure to Supply. This Clause 10 and also Clauses 12.3.1 and 13.2.5 of the License Agreement solely to the extent that Alkermes is found to have materially breached Section 9.4 of the License Agreement set out Zogenix's sole and exclusive remedies in respect of Failure to Supply Commercial Product. |
11. | STABILITY TESTING |
11.1 | Alkermes shall conduct stability testing of Commercial Product as may be required by the Regulatory Approval on the Commercial Product or cGMP, at Alkermes’ sole cost and expense. Zogenix shall reimburse Alkermes for any additional stability testing requested by Zogenix at Alkermes’ then-current standard pull rates, currently [***]. For clarity, expenses related to stability testing of process validation lots will be governed by the Process Transfer Plan, as set forth in Clause 16.1. |
12. | ACCEPTANCE AND REJECTION |
*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
13
12.1 | Acceptance Procedures. Zogenix shall determine suitability for acceptance and release of Commercial Product for commercial distribution. If the Parties agree to additional acceptance procedures in the Technical Agreement, Alkermes shall use reasonable efforts to support transfer of any or all commercial methods to a third party laboratory and to provide test samples of any lot of Commercial Product when requested in order to establish acceptance testing ability. |
12.2 | Deficiency Notice. If Zogenix determines that the Commercial Product deviates from the Product Specifications or there are other material defects in Manufacturing that make such Commercial Product unsalable (a "Deviation"), Zogenix shall give Alkermes written notice (a "Deficiency Notice") outlining the Deviation, including such other information reasonably necessary to identify the Deviation, within [***]. Should Zogenix fail to provide Alkermes with a Deficiency Notice within the relevant and applicable time periods set out earlier in this paragraph, then delivery will be deemed to have been accepted by Zogenix, and Alkermes will have no liability for any Deviations for which it has not received notice within the applicable period. |
12.3 | Counter Notice. Within [***], Alkermes may provide written notice to Zogenix (a "Deficiency Counter Notice") that it contests the existence of a Deviation. |
Where Alkermes is unable to make such a determination within that period, Alkermes may within that period request such access to the Commercial Product delivered and/or testing data and/or any other information that Zogenix may have concerning the Deviation. Zogenix shall provide such access, data and/or information, and Alkermes may serve its Deficiency Counter Notice at any time [***].
Should Alkermes fail to provide Zogenix with a Deficiency Counter Notice within the relevant and applicable time periods set out earlier in this Section, then Alkermes will be deemed to have accepted the Deviation specified in the Deficiency Notice.
12.4 | Dispute Resolution. In the event of an unresolved dispute as to the conformity of Commercial Product with Product Specifications, the Parties shall appoint an independent testing laboratory, acceptable to both Parties and subject to the confidentiality agreements herein, to undertake the relevant analysis, which analysis shall be performed in compliance with the applicable laws of the relevant regulatory Governmental Authority, to determine whether the Commercial Product conformed or did not conform to the Product Specifications. The test results obtained from such laboratory shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties except in the case of fraud or manifest error. The fees and expenses of such testing shall be borne by Alkermes if it is ultimately determined that the Commercial Product failed to meet Product Specifications, or Zogenix in other cases. |
12.5 | Right to Reject. Where Alkermes does not provide a Deficiency Counter Notice in response to a Deficiency Notice alleging a Deviation, or where a dispute is resolved in Zogenix's favour pursuant to Clause 12.4 or by written agreement of the Parties, the Commercial Product in question shall be deemed rejected. |
12.6 | No Effect on Remainder of Delivery. No Deviation shall affect the delivery of any conforming part of the delivery. |
12.7 | Remedy. In respect of Commercial Product properly rejected and agreed, Alkermes shall Manufacture and deliver replacement Commercial Product as soon as practicable, but in any event within [***], subject to the availability of Materials, available Manufacturing capacity and Available Quota. Alkermes shall be responsible for its own costs of doing so, including the cost of the Materials and costs associated with the Manufacture and supply of replacement of such Commercial Product to Zogenix (including reasonable Third Party costs incurred by Zogenix in connection with Zogenix receiving such replacement Commercial Product) and, for clarity, Zogenix shall not pay an Initial Fee or Final Fee with respect to any properly rejected Commercial Product until such time as Zogenix accepts the |

14
replacement Commercial Product. In the event that Alkermes is unable to deliver replacement Commercial Product within such [***], Alkermes shall [***].
In the absence of fraud or willful misconduct by Alkermes, this Clause 12 sets out Zogenix’s sole remedies in respect of Commercial Product delivered by Alkermes but not yet sold by Zogenix to a Third Party which Commercial Product does not conform to Product Specifications. Remedies and liabilities for Commercial Product sold by Zogenix to a Third Party shall be governed exclusively by the terms of Clause 13 below.
13. | ADVERSE EVENTS AND PRODUCT RECALL |
13.1 | Adverse Events and Safety Reporting. Each Party shall, in accordance with the timing and procedures set forth in the Technical Agreement, give the other Party written notice of: |
13.1.1 | any matter arising out of this Agreement that must be reported by such other Party to a regulatory Governmental Authority; |
13.1.2 | any complaint about the quality or safety of Commercial Product supplied by Alkermes or which may reasonably affect the other Party's activities under this Agreement; |
The Technical Agreement shall set out the detailed procedures regarding the format, timing, responsibilities and content of notices under this Clause 13.1.
13.2 | Zogenix's Discretion to Recall. If either Party is notified by a Governmental Authority that a recall, market withdrawal, stock recovery or other corrective action related to Commercial Product in the Territory (collectively a “Recall”) is required, requested or otherwise advisable, it shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of such notification. In circumstance where such a notification has been made or, alternatively if Zogenix establishes a need to conduct a Recall, Zogenix shall have sole discretion (except where required to take an action by Governmental Authorities) over whether and under what circumstances to require a Recall. Zogenix shall be responsible for coordinating Recalls and for ensuring that such activities are conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and Alkermes shall afford Zogenix reasonable assistance in conducting any such activities. |
13.3 | Recall Costs. |
13.3.1 | Except as provided in Section 13.3.2, Zogenix shall bear all costs of any Recall. Alkermes shall not invoice Zogenix for the cost of any internal Alkermes activities associated with such Recall but shall be entitled to invoice Zogenix for all other reasonable costs. |
13.3.2 | In circumstances where: |
(a) | Commercial Product Recall arises from (a) Alkermes failure (or its Affiliate’s failure) to supply Commercial Product in accordance with Product Specifications and cGMP, (b) the negligent acts or omissions of Alkermes (or its Affiliate) in Manufacturing the Commercial Product or (c) from Alkermes breach of this Agreement, including without limitation Clause 7.4 with respect to such Commercial Product; and also that |
(b) | Zogenix could not have discovered such failure or acts or omissions prior to the sale of such Commercial Product by exercising reasonable diligence; |
Zogenix shall consult with Alkermes prior to implementing any Recall plan and Alkermes shall [***]. Zogenix costs shall not include costs of any internal Zogenix activities associated with such Recall for which Zogenix shall not seek reimbursement. If Alkermes does not [***], Alkermes shall, at Zogenix’s option, [***]. Where the Recall is a multiple Batch Recall, the Parties shall discuss and agree on the specific Batches to be recalled. For

16.2 | Manufacturing – Validation Batches and Launch Stocks. Alkermes shall be entitled to partially invoice Zogenix for any validation batches or other Launch Stock ordered by Zogenix pursuant to a Confirmed Order that is manufactured and held in bulk capsule form by Alkermes prior to First Approval. Partial payments shall be invoiced at the time Alkermes delivers to Zogenix an appropriate Certificate of Analysis for such validation batch/other Launch Stock (which establishes that the validation batch/other Launch Stock have been manufactured and are being held by Alkermes in bulk form). These partial payment fees shall be invoiced per item of validation batch/other Launch Stock as set out in Schedule 3. Partial payments made on validation batches/other Launch Stock invoices shall be [***] irrespective of whether or when such the validation batch/other Launch Stock is delivered to Zogenix. The Parties shall also conduct a True-Up on all validation batches/other Launch Stock delivered before or at the time of launch to [***] as set forth in Clause 16.4 below (which, for clarity, shall be equivalent to [***] with the initial fee referred to in that section being equal to the partial payment set forth above in this paragraph. In circumstances where Commercial Product is not delivered or the validation batches/other Launch Stock becomes obsolete prior to the time that any Regulatory Approval is obtained in the Territory to facilitate delivery, the partial payment set out above in this paragraph shall be deemed the price of such validation batch/other Launch Stock, and no further payment shall be due. For clarity, validation batches/other Launch Stock with [***] at the time of First Approval may be deemed obsolete by Zogenix. |
16.3 | Manufacturing – Initial Fee for Commercial Product other than Validation Batches and Launch Stock. [***] after the delivery of Commercial Product (other than validation batches/other Launch Stock) which meets the requirements of Clause 7.4 or which Zogenix nonetheless accepts for delivery, Zogenix shall pay Alkermes the initial fee for such delivery, being [***] in effect during the [***] of scheduled delivery multiplied [***] (the "Initial Fee"). |
