PATHEON’S MANUFACTURING SERVICES
2.1. Manufacturing Services.
Patheon will perform the Manufacturing Services for the Territory for the fees specified in a Product Agreement in Schedules B and C to manufacture Products for Client. Schedule B to a Product Agreement sets forth a list of cost items that are included or not included in the Price for Products; all cost items that are not included in the Price are subject to additional fees to be paid by the Client. Patheon may amend the fees set out in Schedules B and C to a Product Agreement as set forth in Article 4. Patheon may change the Manufacturing Site for the Products only with the prior written consent of Client, this consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Patheon’s percentage of manufacturing exclusivity for the Product will be set forth in the Product Agreement. Patheon will be entitled to any applicable manufacturing tax credits that arise from performing the Manufacturing Services under this Agreement. In performing the Manufacturing Services, Patheon and Client agree that:
(a) Conversion of Active Materials and Components. Patheon will convert Active Materials and Components into Products in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs and Applicable Laws and as otherwise agreed by the parties.
(b) Quality Control and Quality Assurance. Patheon will perform the quality control and quality assurance testing specified in the Quality Agreement. Batch review and release to Client will be the responsibility of Patheon’s quality assurance group. Patheon will perform its batch review and release responsibilities in accordance with Patheon’s standard operating procedures. Each time Patheon ships Products to Client, it will give Client a certificate of analysis and certificate of compliance including a statement that the batch has been manufactured and tested in accordance with Specifications and cGMPs. Client will have sole responsibility for the release of Products to the market. The form and style of batch documents, including, but not limited to, batch production records, lot packaging records, equipment set up control, operating parameters, and data printouts, raw material data, and laboratory notebooks are the exclusive property of Patheon. Specific Product related information contained in the batch documents and the batch records themselves are the property of the Client.
THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN REDACTED AND IS THE SUBJECT OF A CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST. REDACTED MATERIAL IS MARKED WITH [***] AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
(c) Components. Patheon will purchase and test all Components (with the exception of Client-Supplied Components) at Patheon’s expense and as required by the Specifications.
(d) Stability Testing. Patheon may be requested to conduct stability testing on the Products in accordance with the protocols set out in the Specifications for the separate fees and during the time periods set out in Schedule C to a Product Agreement. Patheon will not make any changes to these testing protocols without prior written approval from Client. If a confirmed stability test failure occurs, Patheon will notify Client within one Business Day, after which Patheon and Client will jointly determine the proceedings and methods to be undertaken to investigate the cause of the failure, including which party will bear the cost of the investigation. Patheon will not be liable for these costs unless it has failed to perform the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws. Patheon will give Client ail stability test data and results at Client’s request.
(e) Packaging and Artwork. Patheon will package the Products as set out in the Specifications. Client will be responsible for the cost of artwork development. Patheon will determine and imprint the batch numbers and expiration dates for each Product shipped. The batch numbers and expiration dates will be affixed on the Products and on the shipping carton of each Product as outlined in the Specifications and as required by cGMPs. Client may, in its sole discretion, make changes to labels, product inserts, and other packaging for the Products. Those changes will be submitted by Client to ail -applicable Regulatory Authorities and other third parties responsible for the approval of the Products. Client will be responsible for the cost of labelling obsolescence when changes occur, as set forth in Section 4.4. Patheon’s name will not appear on the label or anywhere else on the Products unless: (i) required by any Laws; or (ii) Patheon consents in writing to the use of its name. At least 120 days prior to the Delivery Date of Product for which new or modified artwork is required, Client will provide at no cost to Patheon, final camera ready artwork for ail packaging Components to be used in the manufacture of the Product that meet the Specifications. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that Client will be responsible for complying with any and all regulatory requirements for the labeling of the Product.
(f) Active Materials and Client-Supplied Components. At least 30 days before the scheduled production date, Client will deliver the Active Materials and any Client-Supplied Components to the Manufacturing Site DDP (incoterms 2010), at no cost to Patheon, in sufficient quantity to enable Patheon to manufacture the desired quantities of Product and to ship Product on the Delivery Date, if the Active Materials and/or Client-Supplied Components are not received 30 days before the scheduled production date, Patheon may delay the shipment of Product by the same number of days as the delay in receipt of the Active Materials and/or Client-

Supplied Components. But if Patheon is unable to manufacture Product to meet this new shipment date due to prior third party production commitments, Patheon may delay the shipment until a later date as agreed to by the parties. All shipments of Active Material will be accompanied by certificate(s) of analysis from the Active Material manufacturer confirming the identity and purity of the Active Materials and its compliance with the Active Material specifications. For Active Materials or Client-Supplied Components which may be subject to import or export, Client agrees that its vendors and carriers will comply with applicable requirements of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Service and the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (“C- TPAT”).
(g) Xxxx Back items. Subject to Client’s prior written approval for items over [***], Xxxx Back Items will be charged to Client at Patheon’s cost plus a [***] handling fee for items that cost [***] or less or a [***] handling fee for items that cost more than [***].
(h) Additional Services. If Client requests services other than those expressly set forth herein or in any Product Agreement (such as qualification of a new packaging configuration or shipping studies, or validation of alternative batch sizes), Patheon will provide a good faith and reasonable written quote of the fee for the additional services and Client will advise Patheon whether it wishes to have the additional services performed by Patheon, The scope of work and fees will be set forth in a separate agreement signed by the parties. The terms and conditions of this Agreement will apply to these services.
2.2. Active Material Yield.
(a) Reporting. Patheon will give Client a quarterly inventory report of the Active Materials held by Patheon using the inventory report form set out in Exhibit C, which will contain the following information for the quarter:
Quantity Received: The total quantity of Active Materials that complies with the Specifications and is received at the Manufacturing Site during the applicable period.
Quantity Dispensed: The total quantity of Active Materials dispensed at the Manufacturing Site during the applicable period. The Quantity Dispensed is calculated by adding the Quantity Received to the inventory of Active Materials that complies with the Specifications held at the beginning of the applicable period, less the inventory of Active Materials that complies with the Specifications held at the end of the period. The Quantity Dispensed will only include Active Materials received and dispensed in commercial manufacturing of Products and, for certainty, will not Include any (i) Active Materials that must be retained by Patheon as samples, (ii) Active Materials contained in Product that must be retained as samples, (iii) Active Materials used in testing (if applicable), and (iv) Active
THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN REDACTED AND IS THE SUBJECT OF A CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST. REDACTED MATERIAL IS MARKED WITH [***] AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
Materials received or dispensed in technical transfer activities or development activities during the applicable period, including without limitation, any regulatory, stability, validation or test batches manufactured during the applicable period.
Quantity Converted: The total amount of Active Materials contained in the Products manufactured with the Quantity Dispensed (including any additional Products produced in accordance with Section 6.3(a) or 6.3(b)), delivered by Patheon, and not rejected, recalled or returned in accordance with Section 6.1 or 6.2 because of Patheon’s failure to perform the Manufacturing Services in accordance with Specifications, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws.
Within 60 days after the end of each Year, Patheon will prepare an annual reconciliation of Active Materials on the reconciliation report form set forth in Exhibit D including the calculation of the “Actual Annual Yield” or “AAY” for the Product at the Manufacturing Site during the Year. AAY is the percentage of the Quantity Dispensed that was converted to Products and is calculated as follows:
Quantity Converted during the Year x 100%
Quantity Dispensed during the Year
After Patheon has produced a minimum of 15 successful commercial production batches of Product and has produced commercial production batches for at least six months at the Manufacturing Site (collectively, the “Target Yield Determination Batches”), the parties will agree on the target yield for the Product at the Manufacturing Site (each, a “Target Yield”). The Target Yield will be revised annually to reflect the actual manufacturing experience as agreed to by the parties.
(b) Shortfall Calculation. If the Actual Annual Yield falls more than [***] below the respective Target Yield in a Year, then the shortfall for the Year (the “Shortfall”) will be calculated as follows:
Shortfall = [(Target Yield - [***]) - AAY] * Active Materials Credit Value * Quantity Dispensed
(c) Credit for Shortfall. If there is a Shortfall for a Product in a Year, then Patheon will credit Client’s account for the amount of the Shortfall not later than 45 days after the end of the Year.
Each credit under this Section 2.2(c) will be summarized on the reconciliation report form set forth in Exhibit D. Upon expiration or termination of a Product Agreement, any remaining credit owing under this Section 2.2 will be paid to Client. The Annual Shortfall, if any, will be disclosed by Patheon on the reconciliation report form.

(d) Maximum Credit. Patheon’s liability for Active Materials calculated in accordance with this Section 2.2 [for any Product] in a Year will not exceed, In the aggregate, the Maximum Credit Value set forth in Schedule D to a Product Agreement.
(e) No Material Breach. It will not be a material breach of this Agreement by Patheon under Section 8.2(a) if the Actual Annual Yield is less than the Target Yield.
ARTICLE 3
CLIENT’S OBLIGATIONS
3.1. Payment.
Client will pay Patheon for performing the Manufacturing Services according to the Prices specified in Schedules B and C in a Product Agreement. These Prices may be subject to adjustment under other parts of this Agreement. Client will also pay Patheon for any Xxxx Back Items. Upon Written notice from the Client to Patheon, any payments to be made by the Client to Patheon under this Agreement may be made by the Marketing Partner on behalf of the Client. But the Client will remain responsible to Patheon for payment if the Marketing Partner fails to pay Patheon.
3.2. Active Materials and Qualification of Additional Sources of Supply.
(a) Client will at its sole cost and expense deliver the Active Materials to Patheon in accordance with Section 2.1(f). If applicable, Patheon and the Client will reasonably cooperate to permit the import of the Active Materials to the Manufacturing Site. Client’s obligation will include obtaining the proper release of the Active Materials from the applicable Customs Agency and Regulatory Authority. Client or Client’s designated broker will be the “Importer of Record” for Active Materials imported to the Manufacturing Site. The Active Materials will be held by Patheon on behalf of Client as set forth in this Agreement. Title to the Active Materials will at all times remain the property of Client. Any Active Materials received by Patheon will only be used by Patheon to perform the Manufacturing Services. Client will be responsible for paying for all rejected Product that arises from defects in the Active Materials which could not be reasonably discoverable by Patheon using the test methods set forth in the Specifications.
(b) If Client asks Patheon to qualify an additional source for the Active Material or any Component, Patheon will evaluate the Active Material or Component to be supplied by the additional source to determine if it is suitable for use in the Product. The parties will agree on the scope of work to be performed by Patheon at Client’s cost. For an Active Material, this work will be defined and mutually agreed upon based on applicable Comparability Protocols, FDA Guidance Documents, and commitments made to a Regulatory Agency. Section 6.1(d) will apply to all Product

manufactured using the newly approved Active Material or Component because of the limited material characterization that is performed on additional sources of supply.
(c) Patheon will advise Client within three days of becoming aware of potential supply problems, including delays and/or delivery of non-conforming Active Material or Components from a Client designated additional source; and (ii) Patheon and Client will cooperate to reduce or eliminate any supply problems from these additional sources of supply. Client will be obligated to certify a Client designated source of supply on an annual basis at its expense and will provide Patheon with copies of these annual certifications. If Patheon is required to certify a Client designated additional sources of supply, it will do so at Client’s expense.
ARTICLE 4
CONVERSION FEES AND COMPONENT COSTS
4.1. First Year Pricing.
The Price for the first Year will be listed in Schedules B and C in a Product Agreement and will be subject to the adjustments set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.3, The Price may also be increased or decreased by Patheon at any time upon written notice to Client if the underlying manufacturing, packaging or testing assumptions set forth in Schedule B of the Product Agreement change that result in an increase or decrease in the cost of performing the Manufacturing Services. The parties will negotiate in good faith to conclude agreement on the Price which fairly reflects the increased or decreased costs.
4.2. Price Adjustments - Subsequent Years’ Pricing.
After the first Year of the Product Agreement, Patheon may adjust the Price effective January 1st of each Year as follows:
(a) Manufacturing and Stability Testing Costs. For Products manufactured in the United States or Puerto Rico, Patheon may adjust the conversion component of the Price and the annual stability testing costs for inflation, based upon the preliminary number for any increase in the Producer Price Index pcu325412325412 for Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing (“PPI”) published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics in August of the preceding Year compared to the final number for the same month of the Year prior to that, unless the parties otherwise agree in writing. On or before November 30 of each Year, Patheon will give Client a statement setting forth the calculation for the inflation adjustment to be applied in calculating the Price for the next Year. For Products manufactured outside the United States or Puerto Rico, Patheon may similarly adjust the Price for inflation using an inflation index to be agreed by the parties in a Product Agreement.
THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN REDACTED AND IS THE SUBJECT OF A CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST. REDACTED MATERIAL IS MARKED WITH [***] AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
(b) Component Costs. If Patheon incurs an increase in Component costs during the Year, it may increase the Price for the next Year to pass through the additional Component costs at Patheon’s actual cost plus a [***] handling fee. If Patheon obtains a decrease in Component costs during the Year, it will decrease the Price for the next Year to pass through [***] of the cost savings to the Client. On or before November 30 of each Year, Patheon will give Client information about the increase or decrease in Component costs which will be applied to the calculation of the Price for the next Year to reasonably demonstrate that the Price increase or decrease is justified. But Patheon will not be required to give information to Client that is subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers.
(c) Pricing Basis. Client acknowledges that the Price in any Year is quoted based upon the Minimum Order Quantity and the Annual Volume specified in Schedule B to a Product Agreement. The Price is subject to change if the specified Minimum Order Quantity changes or if the Annual Volume is not ordered in a Year. For greater certainty, if Patheon and Client agree that the Minimum Order Quantity will be reduced or the Annual Volume in the lowest tier will not be ordered in a Year whether as a result of a decrease in estimated Annual Volume or otherwise and, as a result of the reduction, Patheon demonstrates to Client that its costs to perform the Manufacturing Services or to acquire the Components for the Product will increase on a per unit basis {including the amount of the increase), then Patheon may increase the Price by an amount sufficient to absorb the documented increased costs. On or before November 30 of each Year, Patheon will give Client a statement setting forth the information to be applied in calculating those cost increases for the next Year. But Patheon will not be required to give information to Client that is subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers.
(d) Adjustments Due to Currency Fluctuations. If the parties agree in a Product Agreement to invoice in a currency other than the local currency for the Manufacturing Site, Patheon will adjust the Price to reflect currency fluctuations. The adjustment will be calculated after all other annual Price adjustments under this Section 4.2 have been made. The adjustment will proportionately reflect the increase or decrease, if any, in the Set Exchange Rate compared to the Set Exchange Rate established for the prior Year or the initial Set Exchange Rate, as the case may be. An example of the calculation of the price adjustment (for a Canadian Manufacturing Site invoiced in USD) is set forth in Exhibit E.
(e) Tier Pricing (if applicable). The pricing in Schedule B of a Product Agreement is set forth in Annual Volume tiers based upon the Client’s volume forecasts under Section 5.1. The Client will be invoiced during the Year for the unit price set forth in the Annual Volume tier based on the 18 month forecast provided in September of the previous Year. Within 30 days of the end of each Year or of the termination of the Agreement, Patheon will send Client a reconciliation of the actual volume of Product ordered by the Client during the Year with the pricing tiers. If Client has
THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN REDACTED AND IS THE SUBJECT OF A CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST. REDACTED MATERIAL IS MARKED WITH [***] AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
overpaid during the Year, Patheon will issue a credit to the Client for the amount of the overpayment within 45 days of the end of the Year or will issue payment to the Client for the overpayment within 45 days of the termination of the Agreement. If Client has underpaid during the Year, Patheon will issue an invoice to the Client under Section 5.6 for the amount of the underpayment within 45 days of the end of the Year or termination of the Agreement. If Client disagrees with the reconciliation, the parties will work in good faith to resolve the disagreement amicably. If the parties are unable to resolve the disagreement within 30 days, the matter will be handled under Section 12.1.
(f) For all Price adjustments under this Section 4.2, Patheon will deliver to Client on or before November 30 of each Year a revised Schedule B to the Product Agreement to be effective for Product delivered on or after the first day of the next Year. If in any Year Patheon would have been entitled to increase the Price based on any of the provisions of this Section 4.2 but Patheon did not exercise its right to do so, then at the expiry of any subsequent Year, Patheon will be entitled to make cumulative adjustments as set out in Section 4,2 based on changes during the preceding Years, provided these changes are properly documented within 60 days of the end of the current Year. These cumulative adjustments will apply to Pricing going forward and will not be applied retroactively to past Years.
4.2.1 Price Adjustment due to Volume Changes from Yearly Forecast Volumes for Sterile Products.
On the execution of a Product Agreement, Client will give to Patheon a forecast of the volume of Product required for the first two Years of the Product Agreement (the “Yearly Forecast Volume” or “YFV”) that will become part of the Product Agreement. If at the end of the first Year the aggregate actual volume of Product ordered by Client and invoiced by Patheon under Section 5.5 (“Actual Yearly Volume” or “AYV”) during the Year is less than the YFV as set out in the Product Agreement, then Client will pay Patheon for its non-absorbed fixed manufacturing costs incurred during the Year in an amount to be determined as follows:
Amount due to Patheon = [(YFV – AYV)] [***] * conversion Price for the Product.
On or before June 10 of each Year, the parties will agree on the YFV for the next two Years of the Product Agreement on a rolling forward basis. The forecast of the volume of Product for the second Year may not vary by more than [***] from the original YFV for the second Year. Once agreed, the YFV for the next Year will become binding on the parties and any amount due to Patheon will be determined as set forth above.

4.3. Price Adjustments — Current Year Pricing.
During any Year, the Prices set out in Schedule B of a Product Agreement will be adjusted as follows:
Extraordinary Increases in Component Costs, if, at any time, market conditions result in Patheon’s cost of Components being materially greater than normal forecasted increases, then Patheon will be entitled to an adjustment to the Price for any affected Product to compensate it for the increased Component costs. Changes materially greater than normal forecasted increases will have occurred if: (i) the cost of a Component increases by [***] of the cost for that Component upon which the most recent fee quote was based; or (ii) the aggregate cost for all Components required to manufacture a Product increases by [***] of the total Component costs for the Product upon which the most recent fee quote was based, if Component costs have been previously adjusted to reflect an increase in the cost of one or more Components, the adjustments set out in (i) and (ii) above will operate based on the last cost adjustment for the Components.
For a Price adjustment under this Section 4.3, Patheon will deliver to Client a revised Schedule B to the Product Agreement and budgetary pricing information, adjusted Component costs or other documents reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that a Price adjustment is justified. Patheon will have no obligation to deliver any supporting documents that are subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers. The revised Price will be effective for any Product delivered on or after the first day of the month following Client’s receipt of the revised Schedule B to the Product Agreement. Notwithstanding Section 4.2(b), Patheon will pass through [***] of the cost savings to Client for any decrease in the cost of Components that were increased under this Section 4.3.
4.4. Adjustments Due to Technical Changes or Regulatory Authority Requirements.
Amendments to the Specifications or the Quality Agreement requested by Client will only be implemented following a technical and cost review that Patheon will perform at Client’s cost and are subject to Client and Patheon reaching agreement on Price changes required because of the amendment. Amendments to the Specifications, the Quality Agreement, or the Manufacturing Site requested by Patheon will only be implemented following the written approval of Client, the approval not to be unreasonably withheld. If Client accepts a proposed Price change, the proposed change in the Specifications and the associated scope of work will be implemented at Client’s cost, and the Price change will become effective, only for those orders of Products that are manufactured under the revised Specifications. In addition, Client agrees to purchase, at [***] all Inventory used under the “old” Specifications and purchased or maintained by Patheon in order to fill Firm Orders or under Section 5.2, if the Inventory can no longer be used under the revised Specifications. Open purchase orders for Components no longer required under any revised Specifications that were placed by Patheon with suppliers in order to fill Firm Orders or under Section 5.2 will be cancelled where possible, and if the orders may not be cancelled without

penalty, will be assigned to and satisfied by Client. Additional payments or price increases may also be required to compensate Patheon for fees and other expenses incurred by Patheon to comply with Regulatory Authority requirements which apply to the Manufacturing Services.
4.5. Multi-Country Packaging Requirements.
If Client decides to have Patheon perform Manufacturing Services for the Product for countries outside the Territory, then Client will inform Patheon of the packaging requirements for each new country and Patheon will prepare a quotation for consideration by Client of any additional costs for Components (other than Client-Supplied Components) and the change over fees for the Product destined for each new country. The agreed additional packaging requirements and related packaging costs and change over fees will be set out in a written amendment to this Agreement.

A Late Delivery will not include any delay in shipment of Product caused by events outside of Patheon’s reasonable control, such as a Force Majeure Event, a delay in delivery of API or Materials, a delay in Product release approval from Client, inaccurate Client forecasts, receipt of non-conforming API or Client- Supplied Components, or any market driven delays in deliveries from approved vendors.
(f) Cancellation of a Firm Order. Prior to the cancellation of a Firm Order and prior to the start of dispensing, the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to agree to revise the Firm Order. Revisions to Firm Orders may be requested a maximum of once per calendar quarter, if a Firm Order cannot be revised and is cancelled, the Client will pay Patheon the Price set forth in the Firm Order.
(g) Zero Volume Forecast, if Client forecasts zero volume for a family of Products for [***] successive months period during the term of a Product Agreement (the “Zero Forecast Period”), then Patheon will have the option, at its sole discretion, to provide a 30 day notice to Client of Patheon’s intention to terminate the Product Agreement on a stated day within the Zero Forecast Period. Client thereafter will have 30 days to either (i) withdraw the zero forecast and re-submit a reasonable volume forecast, or (ii) negotiate other terms and conditions on which the Product Agreement will remain in effect. Otherwise, Patheon will have the right to terminate the Product Agreement at the end of the 30 day notice period.
(h) Controlled Substance Quota Requirements (if applicable). Client will give Patheon the information set forth below for obtaining any required DEA or equivalent agency quotas needed to perform the Manufacturing Services.

PRODUCT CLAIMS AND RECALLS
6.1. Product Claims.
(a) Product Claims. Client has the right to reject any portion of any shipment of Products that deviates from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws without invalidating any remainder of the shipment. Client will inspect the Products manufactured by Patheon upon receipt and will give Patheon written notice (a “Deficiency Notice”) of all claims for Products that deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws within 30 days after Client’s receipt thereof (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, within 30 days after discovery by Client, but not after the expiration date of the Product). Should Client fail to give Patheon the Deficiency Notice within the applicable 30 day period, then the delivery will be deemed to have been accepted by Client on the 30th day after delivery or discovery, as applicable. Patheon will have no liability for any deviations for which it has not received notice within the applicable 30 day period.
(b) Determination of Deficiency. Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Patheon will have ten days to advise Client by notice in writing that it disagrees with the contents of the Deficiency Notice. If Client and Patheon fail to agree within ten days after Patheon’s notice to Client as to whether any Products identified in the Deficiency Notice deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, then the parties will mutually select an independent laboratory to evaluate if the Products deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws. This evaluation will be binding on the parties, if the evaluation certifies that any Products deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, Client may reject those Products in the manner set forth in this Section 6.1 and Patheon will be responsible for the cost of the evaluation. If the evaluation does not so certify for any of the Products, then Client will be deemed to have accepted delivery of the Products on the 40th day after delivery {or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, on the 40th day after discovery thereof by Client, but not after the expiration date of the Product) and Client will be responsible for the cost of the evaluation.
(c) Shortages and Price Disputes. Claims for shortages in the amount of Products shipped by Patheon or a Price dispute will be dealt with by reasonable agreement of the parties. Any claim for a shortage or a Price dispute will be deemed waived if it has not been presented within 30 days of the date of invoice.
(d) Product Rejection for Finished Product Specification Failure. Internal process specifications will be defined and agreed upon, if Patheon manufactures Product in accordance with the agreed upon process specifications, the batch production

record, and Patheon’s standard operating procedures for manufacturing, and a batch or portion of batch of Product does not meet a finished Product specification, Client will pay Patheon the applicable fee per unit for the non-conforming Product. The API in the non-conforming Product will be included in the “Quantity Converted” for purposes of calculating the “Actual Annual Yield” under Section 2.2(a).
6.2. Product Recalls and Returns.
(a) Records and Notice. Patheon and Client will each maintain records necessary to permit a Recall of any Products delivered to Client or customers of Client. Each party will promptly notify the other by telephone (to be confirmed in writing) of any information which might affect the marketability, safety or effectiveness of the Products or which might result in the Recall or seizure of the Products. Upon receiving this notice or upon this discovery, each party will stop making any further shipments of any Products in its possession or control until a decision has been made whether a Recall or some other corrective action is necessary. The decision to initiate a Recall or to take some other corrective action, if any, will be made and implemented by Client. “Recall” will mean any action (i) by Client to recover title to or possession of quantities of the Products sold or shipped to third parties (including, without limitation, the voluntary withdrawal of Products from the market); or (ii) by any regulatory authorities to detain or destroy any of the Products. Recall will also include any action by either party to refrain from selling or shipping quantities of the Products to third parties which would have been subject to a Recall if sold or shipped.
(b) Recalls. If (i) any Regulatory Authority issues a directive, order or, following the issuance of a safety warning or alert about a Product, a written request that any Product be Recalled, (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction orders a Recall, or (iii) Client determines that any Product should be Recalled or that a “Dear Doctor” letter is required relating the restrictions on the use of any Product, Patheon will cooperate as reasonably required by Client, having regard to all applicable laws and regulations.
(c) Product Returns. Client will have the responsibility for handling customer returns of the Products. Patheon will give Client any assistance that Client may reasonably require to handle the returns.
6.3. Patheon’s Responsibility for Defective and Recalled Products.
(a) Defective Product. If Client rejects Products under Section 6.1 and the deviation is determined to have arisen from Patheon’s failure to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, Patheon will credit Client’s account for Patheon’s invoice price for the defective Products.

For greater certainty, Patheon’s responsibility for any loss of Active Materials in Recalled Product will be captured and calculated in the Active Materials Yield under Section 2.2. If Patheon is unable to replace the Recalled or returned Products (except where this inability results from a failure to receive the required Active Materials and Client-Supplied Components), then Client may request Patheon to reimburse Client for the price that Client paid to Patheon for Manufacturing Services for the affected Products. In all other circumstances, Recalls, returns, or other corrective actions will be made at Client’s cost and expense.
(c) Except as set forth in Sections 6.3(a) and (b) above, Patheon will not be liable to Client nor have any responsibility to Client for any deficiencies in, or other liabilities associated with, any Product manufactured by it, (collectively, “Product Claims”). For greater certainty, Patheon will have no obligation for any Product Claims to the extent the Product Claim (i) is caused by deficiencies in the Specifications, the safety, efficacy, or marketability of the Products or any distribution thereof, (ii) results from a defect in a Component that is not reasonably discoverable by Patheon using the test methods set forth in the Specifications, (iii) results from a defect in the Active Materials, Client-Supplied Components or Components supplied by a Client designated additional source that is not reasonably discoverable by Patheon using the test methods set forth in the Specifications, (iv) is caused by actions of third parties occurring after the Product is shipped by Patheon under Section 5.4, (v) is due to packaging design or labelling defects or omissions for which Patheon has no responsibility, (vi) is due to any unascertainable reason despite Patheon having performed the Manufacturing Services In accordance with the Specifications, cGMP’s, and Applicable Laws, or (vii) is due to any other breach by Client of its obligations under this Agreement.

This Agreement and any Product Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, by original or facsimile signature, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument,
13.15. Use of Client Name.
Patheon will not make any use of Client’s name, trademarks or logo or any variations thereof, alone or with any other word or words, without the prior written consent of Client, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Despite this, Client agrees that Patheon may include Client’s name and logo in customer lists or related marketing and promotional material for the purpose of identifying users of Patheon’s Manufacturing Services.
13.16. Taxes.
(a) The Client will bear all taxes, duties, levies and similar charges {and any related interest and penalties) (“Tax” or “Taxes”), however designated, imposed as a result of the provision by the Patheon of Services under this Agreement, except:
(i) any Tax based on net income or gross income that is imposed on Patheon by its jurisdiction of formation or incorporation (“Resident Jurisdiction”);
(ii) any Tax based on net income or gross income that is imposed on Patheon by jurisdictions other than its Resident Jurisdiction if this tax is based on a permanent establishment of Patheon; and
(iii) any Tax that is recoverable by Patheon in the ordinary course of business for purchases made by Patheon in the course of providing its Services, such as Value Added Tax (as more fully defined in subparagraph (d) below), Goods & Services Tax (“GST”) and similar taxes.
(b) If the Client is required to bear a tax, duty, levy or similar charge under this Agreement by any state, federal, provincial or foreign government, including, but not limited to, Value Added Tax, the Client will pay the tax, duty, levy or similar charge and any additional amounts to the appropriate taxing authority as are necessary to ensure that the net amounts received by Patheon hereunder after all such payments or withholdings equal the amounts to which Patheon is otherwise entitled under this Agreement as if the tax, duty, levy or similar charge did not exist.

(c) Patheon will not collect an otherwise applicable tax if the Client’s purchase is exempt from Patheon’s collection of the tax and a valid tax exemption certificate is furnished by the Client to Patheon.
(d) if subparagraph 13.16 (a)(iii) does not apply, any payment due under this Agreement for the provision of Services to the Client by Patheon is exclusive of value added taxes, turnover taxes, sales taxes or similar taxes, including any related interest and penalties (hereinafter all referred to as “VAT”), if any VAT is payable on a Service supplied by Patheon to the Client under this Agreement, this VAT will be added to the invoice amount and will be for the account of (and reimbursable to Patheon by) the Client. If VAT on the supplies of Patheon is payable by the Client under a reverse charge procedure (i.e., shifting of liability, accounting or payment requirement to recipient of supplies), the Client will ensure that Patheon will not effectively be held liable for this VAT by the relevant taxing authorities or other parties. Where applicable, Patheon will use its reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that its invoices to the Client are issued in such a way that these invoices meet the requirements for deduction of input VAT by the Client, if the Client is permitted by law to do so.
(e) Any Tax that Client pays, or is required to pay, but which Client believes should properly be paid by Patheon pursuant hereto may not be offset against sums due by Client to Patheon whether due pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.
13.17. Governing Law.
This Agreement and, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in a Product Agreement, will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the laws of the United States of America applicable therein and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts thereof.

EXHIBIT A
TECHNICAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Technical Disputes which cannot be resolved by negotiation as provided in Section 12.2 will be resolved in the following manner:
1. Appointment of Expert. Within ten Business Days after a party requests under Section 12.2 that an expert be appointed to resolve a Technical Dispute, the parties will jointly appoint a mutually acceptable expert with experience and expertise in the subject matter of the dispute, if the parties are unable to so agree within the ten Business Day period, or in the event of disclosure of a conflict by an expert under Paragraph 2 hereof which results in the parties not confirming the appointment of the expert, then an expert (willing to act in that capacity hereunder) will be appointed by an experienced arbitrator on the roster of the American Arbitration Association.
2. Conflicts of interest. Any person appointed as an expert will be entitled to act and continue to act as an expert even if at the time of his appointment or at any time before he gives his determination, he has or may have some interest or duty which conflicts or may conflict with his appointment if before accepting the appointment (or as soon as practicable after he becomes aware of the conflict or potential conflict) he fully discloses the interest or duty and the parties will, after the disclosure, have confirmed his appointment.
3. Not Arbitrator. No expert will be deemed to be an arbitrator and the provisions of the American Arbitration Act or of any other applicable statute (foreign or domestic) and the law relating to arbitration will not apply to the expert or the expert’s determination or the procedure by which the expert reaches his determination under this Exhibit A.
4. Procedure. Where an expert is appointed:
(a) Timing. The expert will be so appointed on condition that (i) he promptly fixes a reasonable time and place for receiving representations, submissions or information from the parties and that he issues the authorizations to the parties and any relevant third party for the proper conduct of his determination and any hearing and (ii) he renders his decision (with full reasons) within 15 Business Days (or another other date as the parties and the expert may agree) after receipt of all information requested by him under Paragraph 4(b) hereof.
(b) Disclosure of Evidence. The parties undertake one to the other to give to any expert all the evidence and information within their respective possession or control as the expert may reasonably consider necessary for determining the matter before him which they will disclose promptly and in any event within five Business Days of a written request from the relevant expert to do so.

(c) Advisors. Each party may appoint any counsel, consultants and advisors as it feels appropriate to assist the expert in his determination and so as to present their respective cases so that at all times the parties will co-operate and seek to narrow and limit the issues to be determined.
(d) Appointment of New Expert. If within the time specified in Paragraph 4(a) above the expert will not have rendered a decision in accordance with his appointment, a new expert may (at the request of either party) be appointed and the appointment of the existing expert will thereupon cease for the purposes of determining the matter at issue between the parties save this if the existing expert renders his decision with full reasons prior to the appointment of the new expert, then this decision will have effect and the proposed appointment of the new expert will be withdrawn.
(e) Final and Binding. The determination of the expert will, except for fraud or manifest error, be final and binding upon the parties.
(f) Costs. Each party will bear its own costs for any matter referred to an expert hereunder and, in the absence of express provision in the Agreement to the contrary, the costs and expenses of the expert will be shared equally by the parties.
For greater certainty, the release of the Products for sale or distribution under the applicable marketing approval for the Products will not by itself indicate compliance by Patheon with its obligations for the Manufacturing Services and further that nothing in this Agreement (including this Exhibit A) will remove or limit the authority of the relevant qualified person (as specified by the Quality Agreement) to determine whether the Products are to be released for sale or distribution.
