WHEREAS:

(B) |

1.2 |
Subject Matter. Subject matter of this Agreement is (i) the supply of Supplier Provided Bulk Products in line with the Supplier Bulk Specifications (the “Supplier Bulk Supply”) and (ii) the provision of packaging services for Bulk Products in line with the Packaging Process (the “Packaging Services”) by Supplier (and/or its Affiliates) to Customer (and/or its Affiliates).

Execution Version 2020/12/30Page 3 of 27
that at all times Supplier shall remain the principal obligor for the performance of Supplier’s obligations under this Agreement to the extent not satisfied by an Affiliate of Supplier. This shall include the possibility for Supplier to nominate an Affiliate for order placement and invoicing purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if within [***] following receipt of a notice referred to in the first sentence of this Clause 1.5, Customer notifies Supplier in writing that such proposed Affiliate subcontract by Supplier could impact the Registration for the Final Product, then Supplier agrees not to proceed with such subcontract absent Customer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned, and the Parties will work together in good faith on a plan that would allow Supplier to proceed with such subcontract without impacting the Registration for the Final Product. |
1.6 |
Phases of Cooperation. The cooperation of the Parties hereunder shall go through two (2) phases: In the first phase, Supplier’s packaging and supply activities are set up (the “Set-up Phase”). The second phase covers the actual Supplier Bulk Supply and Packaging Services once set-up is completed (the “Manufacturing Phase”). The Set-up Phase shall be governed by Clause 2, the Manufacturing Phase by Clauses 3-9. |
1.7 |
Extension of Scope. The cooperation of the Parties shall in the first instance be limited to Packaging Services, and other services, related to the Final Product to be marketed in the Territory (as defined below). However, Customer intends potentially to launch the Final Product in other regions, and to launch the Additional Product in the Territory and potentially in other regions. In case of such additional launches the scope of this Agreement shall be extended, and the terms modified, solely to the extent necessary to address such expanded scope, e.g., for the Additional Product the Parties would need to agree, among other things, to set up activities, specifications, and pricing, all of which are subject always to mutual agreement of the Parties. |

3.6 |
Registration and Regulatory Requirements. Customer and its Affiliates shall be responsible for the Registration of the Final Product with all relevant Regulatory Authorities of all countries of the Territory where they market Final Product.

As from their Delivery, Supplier shall: (i) store and handle, at its own cost, Customer Provided Bulk Products in a safe and orderly manner; (ii) identify all such Customer Supplied Materials as goods belonging to Customer; (iii) not mix, alter or analyze Customer Provided Bulk Products except for the purpose of providing the Packaging Services; and (iv) always, except as specifically directed by Customer, use first-expired-first-out (FEFO) methods of usage. |
4.6 |
Yield and Inventory Reconciliation. Once the Process Performance Qualification is completed, the Parties will discuss in good faith and agree on a minimum yield to be achieved by Supplier using the Customer Provided Bulk Product supplied by Customer to Supplier. The Parties presently expect that such minimum yield shall be at least [***]. If the data following completion of the Process Performance Qualification supports a minimum yield that is lower than [***], the Parties agree to work together in good faith to determine the root cause of the problem. Yield is defined as the relation between the Customer Supplied Bulk Product content of the Final Product packaged (actual number of tablets included in Final Product), and the actual quantity of Customer Provided Bulk Product used to manufacture such Final Product. [***]. Supplier will prepare for Customer on an annual basis a written explanation, by lot number, of all variances from the minimum yield. Supplier shall communicate to Customer on a quarterly basis the quantities of Customer Supplied Bulk Products in inventory. |
Execution Version 2020/12/30Page 6 of 27
own costs. Customer shall hold Supplier harmless of any actual, documented losses (including due to production downtime) to the extent directly resulting from such defects or non-conformity, after Supplier has made reasonable good faith efforts to mitigate any such losses (including due to production downtime). |
5.4 |
Changes to Confirmed Orders. Each Party may request changes to a Confirmed Order, including the Confirmed Delivery Dates and/or Confirmed Order Quantities, in which case the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the implementation of such change. |
Execution Version 2020/12/30Page 7 of 27
The Minimum Purchase Quantities for later Launch Years shall be mutually agreed by the Parties at least [***] prior to the end of Launch Year 2. In case the Parties fail to reach an agreement by such date, each Party may terminate this Agreement on [***] prior written notice.
In case Customer fails to order the agreed Minimum Purchase Quantity in a given Launch Year, Customer shall pay to Supplier the difference between the respective aggregated Price (plus VAT) of (i) the quantity of Final Products actually ordered by Customer from Supplier during such Launch Year and (ii) the respective Minimum Purchase Quantity, unless such failure is directly caused by an act or omission solely attributable to Supplier.
5.8 |
Delivery Default. [***] |
5.9 |
No Returns Policy. Supplier will not accept the return of any Final Product sold to Customer except in relation to Defective Final Products and Supplier shall not be liable to Customer in respect of any Final Product purchased by Customer which Customer is subsequently unable to resell. |
Execution Version 2020/12/30Page 8 of 27
Agreement. Except as the Parties may otherwise agree in writing, Supplier and Customer shall share in any cost savings resulting from the implementation thereof based on each Party’s relative contribution (in time and expense) to such implementation, such relative contribution to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties prior to undertaking any such cost saving changes, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each party may withhold its consent to implementation of any cost saving changes in its sole discretion. Promptly following such implementation, the prices for the Final Product payable by Customer as set forth on Annex 6 shall be reduced to reflect Customer’s share of such cost savings.
