A. | Subject to Section 4.8 (Failure to Supply) and Section 4.1.B and after the Commencement Date, Client shall purchase and accept delivery of Product in a Contract Year such that the sum of all purchases of such Product, in aggregate, is equal to or greater than the minimum requirement for such Contract Year set forth in Section II of Attachment C (the “Minimum Requirement”). For clarity, any Product purchased by Client in the entirety of Contract Year 1, regardless of whether before the Commencement Date, shall be credited towards Client’s obligation to purchase the Minimum Requirements for Contract Year 1. |
For purposes of clarity, the parties shall consider those Batches of Product delivered in a Contract Year for purposes of calculating Client’s satisfaction of the Minimum Requirement and Firm Commitment relative to the Rolling Forecast in Section 4.2 below.

[*]
Shortfall Payments payable on the Minimum Requirement for any particular Contract Year shall be reduced by any Firm Commitment Payments previously made or made at the same time by Client with respect to any quarterly Firm Commitment during that same Contract Year. For clarity, payments made in accordance with this Section 4.1.B shall cure the applicable failure by Client to purchase Minimum Requirements, in full, and Catalent shall have no further right to seek damages or terminate this Agreement as a result of such failure.
4.2 Forecast. On or before [*] each calendar quarter, beginning at least [*] prior to the anticipated Commencement Date, Client shall furnish to Catalent a written rolling forecast of the quantities of Product that Client intends to purchase from Catalent during subsequent [*], beginning with the [*] (“Rolling Forecast”).

For (i) the initial Rolling Forecast and each Rolling Forecast delivered prior to the actual Commencement Date, the first [*] of the Rolling Forecast that includes the anticipated Commencement Date shall constitute a binding order (the “Firm Commitment”), and the following [*] shall be non-binding, good faith estimates, and (ii) each Rolling Forecast delivered on or after the actual Commencement Date, the first [*] of such Rolling Forecast shall be the Firm Commitment and [*] of the Rolling Forecast shall be non-binding, good faith estimates.

C. Notwithstanding Section 4.3(B), Catalent shall use commercially-reasonable efforts to supply Client with the specified quantity of Product in excess of the Catalent Commitment, subject to Catalent’s other supply commitments and manufacturing, packaging and equipment capacity.

Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, after Catalent completes a unit operation step in the Processing of a Batch and no later than [*] thereof, Catalent shall provide Client with copies of Batch records for such step prepared in accordance with the Specifications; provided, that if testing reveals an out-ofSpecification result, Catalent shall provide such Batch records and any other documentation as reasonably requested promptly (and no later than [*]) following resolution of the out-of-Specification result. If for any reason Catalent is unable to send final copies of Batch records for Processing steps to Client within [*] of Processing, Catalent will immediately scan and electronically send to Client draft copies of such Batch records, [*], so as to allow Client to review the draft Batch records in parallel with Catalent’s review of such records. After Catalent completes Processing of a Batch and no later than [*] thereof, Catalent shall also provide Client or its designee with a certificate of analysis, certificates of compliance and conformance with cGMP, and TSE/BSE certificate in forms mutually acceptable to the parties for such Batch. Issuance of certificates of analysis, conformance and TSE/BSE certificates constitute release of the Batch by Catalent to Client. Client shall be responsible at its cost for final release of Product to the market.
5.2 Testing; Rejection. Following Client’s receipt of a shipment of a Batch, Client or Client’s designee may test samples of such Batch to confirm that the Specifications have been met. Unless within [*] after Client’s receipt of a Batch and all documents listed in the Specifications (“Review Period”), Client or its designee notifies Catalent in writing (an “Exception Notice”) that such Batch does not meet the warranty set forth in Section 12.1 (“Defective Product”), and provides a sample of the alleged Defective Product, the Batch shall be deemed accepted by Client and Client shall have no right to reject such Batch, except as set forth in Section 5.6.

5.3 Discrepant Results. If the parties disagree as to whether Product is Defective Product and/or whether the cause of the nonconformity is Catalent Defective Processing, and this is not resolved within [*] of the Exception Notice date, the parties shall cause a mutually acceptable independent third party to review records, test data and to perform comparative tests and/or analyses on samples of the alleged Defective Product and its components, including Client-supplied Materials. 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.
5.4 Defective Processing. Catalent shall, at Client’s option, either (A) re-Process (or if re Processing is not permissible under cGMPs, then replace), 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 replacement Batch (es), but not both), or (B) 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. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, IF THERE ARE MORE THAN [*] OF CATALENT DEFECTIVE PROCESSING IN A [*] PERIOD CLIENT SHALL HAVE SUCH ADDITIONAL RIGHTS AS IN THE EVENT OF A SUPPLY FAILURE UNDER SECTION 4.8 HEREOF FOR ANY SUCH CATALENT DEFECTIVE PROCESSING THAT RESULTS IN A SUPPLY FAILURE.
5.5 Supply of Material for Defective Product. In the event Catalent reprocesses Defective Product pursuant to Section 5.4, Client shall supply, at its cost (except in the case of Defective Product attributable to Catalent’s Defective Processing in which case such supply shall be, subject to Section 14.1, at Catalent’s cost), Catalent with sufficient quantities of Client-supplied Materials in order for Catalent to complete such reprocessing.
5.6 Latent Defects. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, within [*] of the date of delivery pursuant to Section 5.2 of Product manufactured by Catalent, Client becomes aware of any defect in any Batch of Product that existed at the time of delivery and would not have been discoverable upon reasonable inspection or quality assurance testing as set forth in the Specifications, Client shall immediately notify Catalent in writing (identifying the batch(es) involved), and Section 5.2 above shall apply as if such notice was provided by Client within the [*] period specified in Section 5.2 above.
