Jagotec shall reasonably assist CRTX. CRTX shall provide Jagotec with copies of relevant chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) information regarding the Product and all FDA or other Agency submissions after the filing of such documents. | |
5.3 | Each party may communicate with any governmental agency, including but not limited to Agencies, regarding the Product if in the opinion of that party’s counsel, such communication is necessary to comply with the terms of this Agreement or the requirements of any law, governmental order or regulation; provided, however, that unless in the reasonable opinion of its counsel there is a legal prohibition against doing so, such party shall in addition give notice of such communication to the other party and Jagotec shall permit CRTX to accompany and take part in any communications with the Agency, and to receive copies of all such communications to and/or from the Agency as relates to the Product. | |
5.4 | CRTX is solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining any Marketing Approvals. CRTX shall promptly inform Jagotec of any and all regulatory requirements relating to Jagotec’s manufacturing activities hereunder or amendments or changes thereto and undertakes to provide to Jagotec such information as Jagotec may reasonably require to support any Registration requirements relating to the manufacturing of Product. Jagotec undertakes to provide CRTX such information as CRTX may reasonably require to support any Marketing Approval(s). |
15
5.5 | Jagotec shall keep records of the manufacture, testing and shipping of each Batch, and each batch of Auxiliary Materials and API used to manufacture the Product. Copies of such records shall be retained as set out in the Quality Agreement. | |
5.6 | Jagotec shall keep retain samples of the Product, Auxiliary Materials and API as set out in the Quality Agreement. | |
5.7 | Jagotec will supply all Product data, including master documentation, specifications and monographs, release test results, complaint test results, all investigations and deviations (in manufacturing, testing and storage), in English that CRTX reasonably requires in order to complete any FDA or other Agency filing under any applicable regulatory regime, [**] days prior to the due date for such report or filing. CRTX shall provide as much notice as possible to Jagotec of the filing dates. Jagotec will prepare annual Product reviews for the Product, [**] before the anniversary date of May 30, 2007 as set forth in the Quality Agreement and will provide any additional information that CRTX is required to file with the FDA (or other Agency) Annual Report, that is related to Jagotec’s manufacturing of the Product. | |
5.8 | Jagotec shall promptly report to CRTX any information that it has knowledge of concerning any adverse drug experience in connection with the use of the Finished Product, including the incidence or severity thereof, associated with non-clinical toxicity studies, clinical uses, studies, investigations or tests, whether or not determined to be attributable to the Product. Reports of serious adverse drug experiences shall be made available to CRTX within [**] Working Days after Jagotec becomes aware of such adverse drug experience, or [**] hours if the adverse drug experience will require a field alert be submitted to the FDA or any Agency. Upon receipt of any such report of serious adverse drug experience by either Party, the Parties shall make commercially reasonable efforts to take mutually agreed actions as appropriate or required under the circumstances; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed as restricting the right or duty of either Party to make a required report or submission to the FDA or any Agency, or take any other action that it reasonably deems to be appropriate or required by Applicable Law. In any event, the responsibility of making any reports of adverse drug experience or other required reports to the FDA or any Agency will be upon CRTX (or its licensees) as holder of the Marketing Approval for the Finished Product. | |
5.9 | Jagotec shall provide CRTX with reasonable assistance in the investigation of any adverse drug experience when same is believed to be attributable to the Product. In such event, CRTX shall be responsible to ensure that Jagotec receives samples of the Finished Product to be investigated. The involvement of Jagotec will be limited to the evaluation of manufacturing process activities undertaken by Jagotec and its impact on identified Product quality matters. |
16
Jagotec shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a written report of its determination within [**] days of receipt of CRTX’s written request and samples of the involved Finished Product. CRTX shall be responsible for the costs of any such evaluations conducted by Jagotec, as requested by CRTX. As between CRTX and Jagotec, CRTX shall correspond with the subjects of adverse drug experiences on all adverse drug experiences and Jagotec shall not correspond with such subjects. | ||
6. | Title | |
6.1 | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, CRTX shall retain title to all materials supplied by it to Jagotec pursuant to this Agreement. Jagotec agrees that any API received by it shall only be used by Jagotec to manufacture the Product. Under no circumstances shall this Agreement vest any rights in Jagotec with respect to API supplied by CRTX and Jagotec shall not remove, alter or obscure any proprietary notices from materials supplied by CRTX. Jagotec shall promptly point out to any third party who obtains access to its premises under a court order or any order to seize property, or who acts as a receiver in bankruptcy proceedings, that API supplied by CRTX is owned solely by CRTX. | |
6.2 | Jagotec shall invoice CRTX for the Price upon Shipment of each Batch of Product. Payment Terms shall be [**] days from the date of receipt of an electronic copy of invoice (with a paper confirmatory copy of said invoice being sent by post). | |
7. | Order and Supply of Product | |
7.1 | (a) Within [**] days of the Effective Date, CRTX shall provide Jagotec with a written non-binding [**] month forecast of the volume of each Product that CRTX then anticipates will be required to be produced by Jagotec and shipped to CRTX during each month of the first [**] months and each [**] thereafter of that [**] month period. The first [**] months of such forecast shall be binding and shall consist of [**] months of Firm Orders (as defined below), the next [**] months shall consist of a non-binding forecast of amounts of Product for such period and the remaining [**] months shall consist of planning horizon. Such forecast will be updated by CRTX monthly on or before the [**] day of each calendar month on a rolling [**] month basis. | |
(b) | Firm Orders. On or before the [**] day of each calendar month in conjunction with the provision of the rolling forecast outlined in Section 7.1(a), CRTX shall issue firm written orders (“Firm Orders”) for the Product to be produced and delivered to CRTX on a date not less than [**] days from the first day of the calendar month immediately following the date that the Firm Order is submitted. Such Firm Orders submitted to Jagotec shall specify CRTX’s purchase order number, monthly delivery schedule, campaign size, and any other elements |
17
necessary to ensure the timely production and delivery of the Product. The quantities of Product ordered in such written orders shall be firm and binding on CRTX and shall not be subject to reduction by CRTX and the quantity of Product so ordered shall not exceed [**] percent ([**]%) ([**] percent ([**]%) in the twelve months following the Marketing Approval for the Finished Product is received from the FDA) or fall short of [**] percent ([**]%) of the applicable binding forecast for that period provided by CRTX under Section 7.1(a) above. Jagotec shall have [**] days to object (to the extent that such objection is reasonable or is because of a breach of the foregoing sentence) in writing to CRTX to any element of a Firm Order. If Jagotec does not object, then such Firm Order shall be binding on Jagotec and no part shall be subject to change by Jagotec. | ||
7.2 | (a) CRTX shall purchase a minimum of [**] tablets of Product to be delivered from May 30, 2007 (the date of Marketing Approval for the Finished Product received from FDA) to May 29, 2008, and CRTX shall purchase a minimum of [**] tablets of Product from Jagotec in each of the subsequent four twelve (12) month periods. If CRTX does not place orders to purchase the relevant minimum order quantity in the applicable twelve month period, it shall in addition to paying the Price for Product purchased, pay Jagotec an amount equal to the result of the following calculation: [**]% of the Price payable for [**] tablets or [**] tablets (as the case may be) less [**]% of the Price paid by CRTX to Jagotec for Product ordered and purchased in such twelve month period. | |
(b) For the duration hereof, CRTX shall purchase the first [**] tablets of its requirement for Product in any twelve month period following May 30, 2007 from Jagotec provided, however, in the event that Jagotec cannot or will not supply such Product within the timelines set out in Section 7.7(a), CRTX shall have the right, after considering (but not being bound by) whether (a) the likelihood that such delivery delay or variation in quantity will adversely affect its inventory situation and (b) a new delivery date that has been proposed by Jagotec, to purchase the amount that Jagotec cannot or will not supply from Patheon Pharmaceuticals Inc., any other Manufacturing Sub-Licensee, or their successors or assigns (and the minimum purchase obligation under Section 7.2(a) shall be reduced for each such twelve month period in which Jagotec cannot or will not supply the Product by such amount as Jagotec cannot or will not supply in such twelve month period). This right shall not apply where such inability to supply such Product needs results from a failure of CRTX to comply with Sections 4.3 and 4.4 or CRTX’s failure to complete Complete and/or Critical Batch Documentation review in a timely manner. | ||
(c) Jagotec shall have the right to supply at least [**]% of CRTX’s remaining requirements for Product (over and above the twelve month period requirement set forth in Section 7.2(b)) in such twelve month period. CRTX shall have the right to have the other [**]% of its remaining requirements (over and above the twelve month period minimum quantities set forth in Sections 7.2(a) and 7.2(b)) in |
18
such twelve month period supplied by either Jagotec or Patheon Pharmaceuticals Inc., or any other Manufacturing Sub-Licensee in CRTX’s sole discretion. | ||
(d) Should CRTX elect to use Patheon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. or any other Manufacturing Sub-Licensee, for manufacture of up to [**]% of its remaining twelve month period requirements (over and above the twelve month period requirement set forth in Section 7.2(b)) and shall procure that such Manufacturing Sub-Licensee shall permit Jagotec, on reasonable notice and during normal working hours, at CRTX only, to inspect the financial records of firm orders relating to purchase of the Product from such Manufacturing Sub-Licensee by CRTX in order to confirm CRTX has complied with the [**]% limit. | ||
(e) Jagotec shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, promptly after request by CRTX, transfer to the Manufacturing Sub-Licensee(s) the manufacturing processes for the Product, at CRTX’s sole expense. | ||
7.3 | If after placing a Firm Order CRTX requests an increase to the quantity of Product specified in such Firm Order, Jagotec will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to meet the requirement but does not guarantee delivery of the additional quantity. If Jagotec cannot or will not be able to supply Product in excess of the Firm Order, Jagotec shall so inform CRTX within [**] Working Days of the request from CRTX and, in such event, such failure to supply such increase shall not constitute a material breach by Jagotec, for the purposes of Section 10.2, provided that Jagotec used commercially reasonable efforts to do so. | |
7.4 | Jagotec shall use commercially reasonable efforts to supply Product specified in a Firm Order by CRTX in accordance with Section 7.1(b) above on the delivery date requested in the Firm Order. However, dates specified for delivery of Product are intended to be an estimate and time for delivery shall not be made of the essence by notice. All such supply shall be made in bulk, and shall be delivered to CRTX EXW (Incoterms 2000) the Facility. Risk of loss or damage to Product supplied, and title, shall pass to CRTX, once it is made available for collection by the designated carrier at the Facility pursuant to EXW (Incoterms 2000). | |
7.5 | Prior to each shipment of the Product Jagotec shall provide CRTX with Batch information in accordance with this Section and the obligations under the Quality Agreement. At a minimum, Jagotec shall provide a Critical Batch Documentation as defined in the Quality Agreement. If requested by CRTX or otherwise specified in the Quality Agreement, Jagotec shall also provide Complete Batch Documentation to CRTX according to the Quality Agreement. Documentation and resolution of all issues and errors shall be provided to CRTX by Jagotec |
19
within a period of time which will allow for shipment of Product to meet the delivery date. During the Launch Phase and subject to reaching mutual agreement on this topic, Jagotec will endeavour to conduct documentation review on a rolling basis, and provide documentation for review to CRTX on a rolling basis, in order to minimize cycle times. | ||
7.6 | Claims for shortages in the amount of Product shipped by Jagotec shall be dealt with as may reasonably be agreed to by the parties; provided, however, in the event that a shipment of Product delivered by Jagotec is less than [**]% of the amount ordered by CRTX pursuant to Section 7.1(b) hereof (“Shortage Amount”), upon receipt of written request by CRTX, Jagotec shall use commercially reasonable efforts to manufacture additional Product to replace the Shortage Amount. | |
7.7 | Late Delivery and Shelf Life | |
(a) In the event that any Products are delivered to CRTX or CRTX’s Manufacturing Sub-Licensee more than [**] days after the agreed upon date (for reasons other than CRTX’s failure to deliver API required to manufacture such Product to Jagotec within the time frames requested, or CRTX’s failure to complete Complete and/or Critical Batch Documentation review in a timely manner), such late delivery shall not constitute a material breach under Section 10.2 and the parties shall meet as necessary in order to try to resolve the reasons, if any for the late delivery, amicably; provided however, [**] or more deliveries more than [**] days within any twelve (12) consecutive month period (for reasons other than CRTX’s failure to deliver API required to manufacture such Product to Jagotec within the time frames requested, or CRTX’s failure to complete Complete and/or Critical Batch Documentation review in a timely manner) shall constitute a material breach under Section 10.2. | ||
(b) Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, provided that the Product has at least [**] month’s expiry dating the Product shall be delivered to CRTX, with no less than [**] percent ([**]%) of its shelf life remaining. In the event that the Product has less than [**] month’s expiry dating but more than [**] month’s expiry dating the Product shall be delivered to CRTX with no less than [**] percent ([**]%) of its shelf life remaining. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Jagotec shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the manufacturing and release cycle time. CRTX shall have the right in accordance with Section 7.8 hereof to reject any shipment of Product (other than Products that were the subject of an out-of-specification or significant Batch deviation investigation), with less than the applicable percent of its shelf life remaining. | ||
7.8 | If any Batch of Product or any portion delivered in accordance with Section 7.4 above has a Defect, then CRTX shall have the right to reject such Batch by |
20
giving written notice to Jagotec thereof within [**] days following the delivery of such Batch, or, in the case of any Latent Defects within [**] days after discovery thereof by the CRTX up to [**] months after shipment thereof, specifying the Defect or Latent Defect in sufficient detail. Jagotec shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly replace such rejected Product and CRTX shall pay Jagotec the Price for such replacement Product in accordance with Section 6.2, if payment for the rejected batch has not been made. However, if it is determined, pursuant to Section 7.9, that CRTX, its suppliers or vendors (not including for this purpose, Jagotec, Skye-SAS and their Affiliates) are responsible for the Defect or Latent Defect in the rejected Batch, then CRTX shall, within [**] days after such determination, pay the Price of such rejected Batch. | ||
7.9 | In case of dispute about the existence of a Defect or a Latent Defect or a dispute about whether Jagotec, its suppliers or vendors are responsible for a Defect or Latent Defect, then the following provisions shall apply, provided that the estimated costs of carrying out the exercise is significantly less than the amount in dispute. If the estimated costs are not significantly less than the amount in dispute, such amount in dispute shall be borne equally by the Parties. | |
At either Party’s request an independent testing laboratory or other appropriately qualified expert of recognized repute and credentials, mutually agreeable to the Parties and subject to appropriate confidentiality provisions and agreement as to the appropriate procedures and tests to be conducted, shall be sent a copy of the Release (as such term is defined in the Quality Agreement) applicable to such Product and shall analyze a sample of the allegedly defective Product and any shipment as necessary to determine, as the case may be, whether the rejected Product is defective and/or which Party(ies) is(are) responsible for such Defect or Latent Defect. The parties hereby approve each of (a) the laboratory of [**] (in respect of disputes for which analytical testing is required) and (b) [**](in respect of disputes which originate from the findings of Patheon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and any disputes for which analytical testing is not required). | ||
Both Parties agree to cooperate with the independent laboratory’s or expert’s reasonable requests for assistance in connection with its analysis hereunder. Both Parties shall be bound by the laboratory’s or expert’s results of analysis, which, in the absence of manifest error, shall be deemed final as to any dispute over the allegedly defective Product. | ||
The costs of the laboratory or expert together with any reasonable costs incurred by the Parties shall be borne by the non-prevailing Party, or if the laboratory or expert cannot place the fault noticed and complained about, then the Parties shall share equally the expenses in connection with such laboratory or expert and bear their own costs. |
21
7.10 | Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in the event that Jagotec is unable to manufacture Product in accordance with Specifications, Applicable Laws and cGMP (except as a result of CRTX’s failure to comply with Sections 4.3 or 4.4 or CRTX’s failure to complete Complete and/or Critical Batch Documentation review in a timely manner or an event of Force Majeure (as defined below)), CRTX shall be entitled to have the Product manufactured by a Manufacturing Sub-Licensee until such time as Jagotec is able to so manufacture the Product and at which point the minimum purchase obligations provided for under Section 7.2(a) of this Agreement and the exclusivity provided for under Section 7.2(b) and 7.2(c) of this Agreement shall once again apply and CRTX shall obtain all of its requirements of the Product from Jagotec subject only to Sections 7.2(b), 7.2(c) and 7.2(d), provided however, that the exclusivity and minimum purchase obligations provided for in Sections 7.2(a), 7.2(b) and 7.2(c) of this Agreement shall be reduced on a pro rata basis for the period of time in the applicable twelve month period Jagotec is unable to so manufacture Product (by way of example only, if Jagotec is unable to so manufacture Product for a period of [**] months in an applicable twelve month period the exclusivity and minimum purchase obligations would be reduced by [**]). Notification of such inability, with an estimated duration of such inability, will be made in writing by Jagotec to CRTX within [**] weeks after determination that such a inability will occur or has occurred; provided however, prior to any planned period of time during which Jagotec will be unable to manufacture the Product, Jagotec shall manufacture that quantity of Product requested by CRTX so that the Parties minimize the adverse effect that said halt in production would have on CRTX’s inventory situation. During any period of time that Jagotec is the sole manufacturer of the Product for CRTX, Jagotec shall not have a planned delay in the manufacture of the Product for greater than [**] months in duration unless otherwise agreed by CRTX in advance. If Jagotec has provided notice to CRTX that it is unable or will be unable to manufacture the Product, Jagotec shall provide CRTX four months written notice prior to the date on which Jagotec intends to resume the manufacture the Product. | |
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if Jagotec is unable to manufacture Product in accordance with Specification, Applicable Laws and cGMP for a period of [**] months or longer (except in the case of a planned halt in production for the specific period agreed in advance by CRTX or as a result of CRTX’s failure to comply with Sections 4.3 or 4.4 or CRTX’s failure to complete Complete and/or Critical Batch Documentation review in a timely manner or an event of Force Majeure), CRTX shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon 30 days’ prior written notice. | ||
8. | Product Recalls, Returns, and Complaints | |
8.1 | In the event (i) any governmental or regulatory authority issues a directive, order or, following the issuance of a safety warning or alert with respect to a product, a |
22
written request that any Finished Product be Recalled, (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction orders such a Recall, or (iii) CRTX determines that any Finished Product should be Recalled or that a “dear doctor” letter is required relating to the restrictions on the use of the Finished Product, Jagotec will co-operate with those activities relating to the Finished Product as reasonably required by CRTX, having regard to all applicable laws and regulations. In the event of a recall of the Finished Product, CRTX will notify Jagotec in accordance with the Quality Agreement, and Jagotec will cooperate with those recall activities relating to the Finished Product as reasonably required by CRTX. | ||
8.2 | CRTX or its designated agent shall have the responsibility for handling customer returns of the Finished Products. Jagotec shall provide CRTX or its designated agent with such assistance as CRTX may reasonably require to handle such Finished Product returns. | |
8.3 | To the extent that a Recall or return results from, or arises out of, a failure by Jagotec to manufacture the Products in accordance with the Specifications, Applicable Laws and/or cGMP, at CRTX’s option, Jagotec shall be responsible for the documented out-of-pocket expenses of such Recall or return and shall either (i) reimburse CRTX for the price that CRTX paid to Jagotec for manufacturing the Products comprised in the Finished Products which are the subject of the Recall or (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to replace the Recalled or returned Finished Products with new Products at no charge to CRTX, contingent upon the receipt from CRTX of all API required for the manufacture of such replacement Products. Payment terms shall be [**] days from the date of receipt of an electronic copy of invoice (with a paper confirmatory copy of said invoice being sent by post). In all other circumstances, Recalls, returns or other corrective actions shall be made at CRTX’s cost and expense. The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with their obligations under this Section 8.3 in a timely manner. | |
8.4 | CRTX shall not dispose of any damaged, defective, returned or Recalled Finished Products in relation to which it intends to assert a claim against Jagotec without Jagotec’s prior written authorization to do so. Alternatively, Jagotec may instruct CRTX to return such Finished Products to Jagotec. Jagotec shall bear the cost of disposition with respect to any damaged, defective, returned or Recalled Finished Products in relation to which it bears responsibility under Section 7.8, 7.9 or 8.3 hereof. In all other circumstances, CRTX shall bear the cost of disposition with respect to any damaged, defective, returned or Recalled Finished Products. | |
8.5 | CRTX or its designated agent shall have the full responsibility for responding to questions and complaints from CRTX’s Finished Product customers. Responsibilities and activities relating to complaints and questions are defined in |
23
the Quality Agreement. Unless it is determined that the cause of any customer complaint resulted from a failure by Jagotec to provide manufacturing services in accordance with the Specifications, Applicable Laws or cGMP, all costs incurred in respect of this Section 8.5 shall be borne by CRTX. | ||
9. | Price | |
9.1. | The Price for the Product shall be calculated in accordance with Schedule 1. | |
9.2 | The Parties agree to pursue a mutual continuous improvement strategy to seek ways of improving the manufacturing performance, and reducing the manufacturing and materials costs, including benchmarking the price. In this regard, the Parties will meet, at least annually, to discuss and mutually agree upon: | |
a) annual continuous improvement goals in terms of total manufacturing costs, at an agreed upon value; and | ||
b) allocation of costs required in implementing such continuous improvement projects. | ||
10. | Term and Termination | |
10.1. | This Agreement shall enter into force as of the Effective Date and shall remain in force and effect for a minimum period of five years and thereafter unless and until terminated by Jagotec by giving no less than thirty-six (36) months prior written notice to that effect to CRTX, or unless and until terminated by CRTX by giving no less than twenty-four (24) months prior written notice to that effect to Jagotec, such notice in either case not to expire before the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date. | |
10.2. | Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 10.1 above, and except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated at any time by either Party (the “Terminating Party”) giving written notice to the other (the “Defaulting Party”) if: | |
a) the Defaulting Party is in material breach of a term or provision hereof and in the case of a material breach capable of remedy such material breach continues and is not remedied within [**] days of the Terminating Party’s written notice specifying the breach and requiring its remedy; or | ||

24
insolvency proceedings, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or in the event of a receiver, trustee or administrator being appointed over the Defaulting Party’s property or parts thereof or anything analogous occurs in relation to the Defaulting Party under the law of any relevant jurisdiction. | ||
10.3 | Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 10.1 above, CRTX may terminate this Agreement upon 30 days’ prior written notice in the event that any governmental agency takes any action, or raises any objection, that prevents CRTX from importing, exporting, or selling the Finished Product. CRTX shall not thereafter be obliged to purchase any Product other than that contained in binding forecasts pursuant to Section 7.1(a) that have been submitted by the date of the notice given. | |
10.4 | Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 10.1 above, CRTX may terminate this Agreement on at least twelve months’ advance notice if it intends to no longer order the Product due to (a) the Finished Product’s discontinuance in the market or (b) CRTX’s decision to permanently cease commercialisation of the Product. Upon such notice in either case, CRTX shall not be obliged to purchase any Product other than that contained in binding forecasts pursuant to Section 7.1(a) that have been submitted by the date of the notice given. | |
10.5 | Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 10.1 above, CRTX may terminate this Agreement upon six (6) months’ advance notice in the event that both of the following occur: (i) any AB-rated generic pharmaceutical product containing zileuton is introduced in the U.S. and (ii) CRTX decides to permanently cease commercialisation of the Product. Upon such notice, CRTX shall not thereafter be obliged to purchase any Product other than that contained in binding forecasts pursuant to Section 7.1(a) that have been submitted by the date of the notice given. | |
10.6 | Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 10.1 above, CRTX may terminate this Agreement upon written notice pursuant to Section 7.10. Upon such notice, CRTX shall not thereafter be obliged to purchase any Product other than that contained in binding forecasts pursuant to Section 7.1(a) that have been submitted by the date of the notice given. | |
11. | Effects of Termination | |
11.1 | In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Party in accordance with Section 10 above, no compensation or indemnity shall be payable to or may be claimed by either Party from the other Party solely as a result of such termination save that this Section 11.1 shall not preclude any party that terminates for the breach of the other seeking damages. |
25

SCHEDULE 6
API Testing – Schedule to Manufacturing and Supply Agreement
Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement between Critical
Therapeutics Inc, Jagotec AG and SkyePharma PLC (“Agreement”) and the Quality Agreement, the
Parties agree as follows in relation to quality control procedures in respect of the API for Assay
(provided that the U.S. Food & Drug Administration have not objected to CRTX’s CBE30 dated August
8, 2007) :
1 | CRTX agrees to Jagotec using Patheon Pharmaceuticals Inc (“Patheon”) as contract test lab to perform the quality control procedures in respect of the API for Assay. In connection therewith, Jagotec shall rely on CRTX’s Supplier Qualification of Patheon (and it is hereby acknowledged that the Agreement gives Jagotec the right to audit CRTX in regards to such Supplier Qualification). The costs of such testing shall be borne by Jagotec. | ||
2 | In respect of API for the period from the [**] until [**], the following provisions shall apply: |
a. | CRTX shall review copies of selected raw data for the procedures and analyses conducted by Patheon on Jagotec’s behalf prior to submission to Jagotec and confirm its agreement thereto to Jagotec following such review; | ||
b. | Notwithstanding that Jagotec has sub-contracted testing of API to Patheon upon the terms hereof, Jagotec retains the responsibility and rights, as between it and CRTX, of API release for use in manufacture of the Product in accordance with clause 3.10 of the Agreement subject to the following; and | ||
c. | If Jagotec releases a batch of API based on Patheon’s Assay test results and processes said batch in tablet production, and it is subsequently proven that the Assay test results produced by Patheon were erroneous due in any way to a fault of Patheon, then CRTX agrees to share the risk of the API consumed in the batch in question and Jagotec therefore agrees to promptly (a) credit CRTX for [**]%) of the Active Material Cost in respect of such consumed API and (b) credit [**]%) of the Price for such failed batches, or if the Price has not been invoiced at the time of discovering the fault, not invoice CRTX for the Price. CRTX agrees that such credits shall be in full and final settlement of any liability, claims, rights or remedies, including damages and legal costs, that CRTX may have against Jagotec, SkyePharma PLC and/or Skye-SAS in respect of and in any way relating directly or indirectly to such erroneous results of Patheon including any losses, direct or indirect, monetary or otherwise, relating thereto or arising therefrom. |

0 | Xxxxxxx XXXX consents to Jagotec using Patheon as contract test lab to perform the quality control procedures in the Quality Agreement in respect of the API for Assay from [**] as required by Jagotec, in which case the provisions of this letter, except clause 2c, shall continue to apply in respect of such API from that date. | ||
4 | The parties shall work to agree a mechanism to retain samples for retesting in case of dispute. | ||
5 | This letter shall not apply to particle size by sieve. | ||
6 | The terms of this letter shall prevail over any inconsistent term of the Agreement or Quality Agreement. All capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement. |
