If Client does not provide PSG with the documentation requested above within the time stipulated and if PSG reasonably believes that PSG’s relationship with the Regulatory Authority may be jeopardized, the matter shall be referred to the Joint Steering Committee (as defined in Section 14). If the parties are unable to resolve the issue after exhaustion of the governance procedures set forth in Section 14, PSG may, in its sole but reasonable discretion, delay or postpone the Regulatory Authority inspection which is or is equivalent to the FDA’s pre-approval inspection until PSG has reviewed the requested documentation and is reasonably satisfied with its contents; provided however that PSG must provide Client with prior written notice on a timely basis of its intent to delay or postpone such inspection.
If PSG reasonably determines that the information provided by the Client in the CTD is materially inaccurate or materially deficient in its description of the Services that PSG has performed and the manufacturing and testing processes that PSG will perform under a Project Proposal (the “Deficiencies”), PSG promptly will notify Client in writing outlining said Deficiencies in reasonable detail. The matter shall be referred to the Joint Steering Committee for resolution pursuant to Section 14. If the parties are unable to resolve the issue after exhaustion of the governance procedures set forth in Section 14 and until the Deficiencies have been resolved or agreement has been reached with Client for resolution, PSG reserves the right, in its sole but reasonable discretion, to not participate in the Regulatory Authority inspection. If this occurs, PSG’s non-participation in the inspection will not be construed as a breach of any of its obligations under this Contract.
If PSG receives any contact or communication from any Regulatory Authority relating in any way to the Services, PSG will (i) notify Client and provide Client with copies of any such communication within the period specified in the applicable Quality Agreement after its receipt of such communication, which copies may be redacted as PSG acting reasonably deems necessary to protect the confidentiality of matters not affecting Client’s Product or the Services and (ii) comply with all mutually agreed reasonable requests by Client with respect to any actions to be taken or responses to be made to any such Regulatory Authority. PSG will promptly inform Client in the event that any such Regulatory Authority takes any action against PSG for any reason that could be reasonably be expected to have an effect on PSG’s performance of the Services. Unless required by Applicable Laws, PSG will have no contact or communication with any such Regulatory Authority regarding Client’s Product without the prior written consent of Client.
9. | Title, Delivery and Shipping: |
(a) | Any shipment by PSG will be made EXW (Incoterms 2010) the applicable Facility unless otherwise agreed.

Total Transportation Management Services may also include PSG acting as importer and exporter of record for these shipments to the extent allowable under Applicable Law and as agreed in a Project Proposal or a TTM Freight Quote. Also, PSG and Client will work collaboratively to minimize the impact of any VAT or other Transaction Tax payments that may be applicable to these shipments, to the extent allowable under Applicable Law. |
(c) | Ownership of any PSG-manufactured API will transfer to Client at the date that it is released for shipment by PSG from the Facility where the API Services are performed. The transfer of ownership in the PSG-manufactured API will not affect Client’s rights under this Contract, including without limitation Client’s rights under Section 13. |
10. | Storage After Product Release or Project Completion: |
PSG will store Client’s Product or other Client property after release of Client’s Product or completion of the Services in accordance with the pricing set forth in the applicable Supplemental Terms Schedule. PSG will store Client’s Product retain samples in accordance with the Quality Agreement and Applicable Law.

(b) | In the event that Client rejects Services as set forth in Section 13(a), Client shall notify PSG, and may request that PSG correct the deficiencies identified by Client. PSG shall use commercially reasonable efforts to re-perform such Deficient Services as soon as possible. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(c) or a particular Project Proposal, PSG shall bear all costs and expense of any such corrections under this Section 13(b). |
(c) | If PSG is unable to correct the Deficient Services within a time period appropriate to meet Client’s needs, Client may, at its option, cancel a particular Service or Project Proposal without any payment obligations for such Deficient Services. Client will be entitled to dispute any payment obligation that relates to any Deficient Services, except that Client shall pay PSG any balance due for previously delivered and accepted Services if such accepted Services are not dependent upon delivery and function of any Deficient Services. |
(d) | For clarity, Client may reject any Client’s Product delivered by PSG that does not meet the Specification for Client’s Product. However, Client shall not be relieved of its obligation to pay the fees for (i) the Services for such rejected Client’s Product (or any replacement Client’s Product requested by Client) or (ii) the Clinical Trial Services properly performed (the difference between the value of the Services properly performed and the Deficient Services), unless rejected due to PSG’s failure to meet the performance standards set forth in Section 1(b) of this Master Agreement |
(e) | Except for the indemnity set out in Section 6(b) and subject to Section 6(c), the remedies described in this Section 13 will be Client’s sole remedy in contract, tort, negligence, equity or otherwise, for Deficient Services. |

(f) | Taxes. |
(i) | VAT. |
(A) | Any payment due to PSG under this Contract in consideration for the provision of Services to Client by PSG is exclusive of value added taxes (“VAT”), turnover taxes, sales taxes or similar taxes, including any related interest and penalties (hereinafter all referred to as “Transaction Tax”). If any Transaction Tax is payable on a Service supplied by PSG to Client under this Contract, this Transaction Tax will be added to the invoice amount and will be for the account of (and reimbursable to PSG by) the Client. PSG and Client will work collaboratively to minimize the impact of any VAT or other Transaction Tax payments that may be applicable, to the extent allowable under Applicable Law. |
(B) | If any Transaction Tax on the supplies by PSG is payable by Client under a reverse charge or withholding procedure (i.e., shifting of liability, accounting or payment requirement to recipient of supplies), Client will ensure that PSG will not effectively be held liable for this Transaction Tax by the relevant taxing authorities or other parties. |
(C) | Where applicable, PSG will use its reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that its invoices to Client are issued in such a way that these invoices meet the requirements for deduction of input VAT by Client, if Client is permitted by law to do so. |
(D) | Each party will provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by applicable laws, of Transaction Tax resulting from payments made under this Contract, any recovery to be for the benefit of the party bearing the Transaction Tax. |
(E) | If PSG is acting as Client’s buying agent, PSG will always charge to the Client Transaction Tax in the relevant territory in addition to the amount paid by PSG to supplier. |

(ii) | Duties. Client will bear the cost of all duties, levies, tariffs and similar charges (and any related interest and penalties) (together “Duties”) however designated, arising from the performance of the Services by PSG, including (without limitation) those imposed as a result of the shipping of materials (including API, materials, components and finished Client’s Product) to, from or between PSG site(s). If these Duties are incurred by PSG, then PSG will be entitled to invoice Client for these Duties at the time that they are incurred. |
(iii) | Withholding Tax. |
1. | Where any sum due to be paid to PSG hereunder is subject to any withholding or similar tax, Client will pay the withholding or similar tax to the appropriate Government Authority without deduction from or offset of the amount then due to PSG. The parties agree to cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate or enable the recovery of any tax withholding or similar obligations in respect of royalties, milestone payments, and other payments made by Client to PSG under this Contract. |
2. | PSG will provide Client any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for Client not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. |
3. | Each party will provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by applicable laws, of withholding taxes, or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Contract, any recovery to be for the benefit of the party bearing the withholding tax. |
(iv) | No Offset. Any Transaction Tax, Duty, Withholding Tax or other tax that Client pays, or is required to pay, but which Client believes should properly be paid by PSG pursuant hereto may not be offset against sums due by Client to PSG whether due pursuant to this Contract or otherwise. |
(g) | Other Terms. No terms, provisions or conditions of any purchase order or other business form or written authorization used by Client or PSG will have any effect on the rights, duties or obligations of the parties, or otherwise modify, this Contract, regardless of any failure of Client or PSG to object to the terms, provisions, or conditions unless the document specifically refers to this Contract and is signed by both parties. |
(h) | Insurance. Each party will maintain during the term of this Contract commercial general liability and product liability insurance which is sufficient to cover their respective liability under this Contract. Either party will provide evidence of this insurance upon the request of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the commencement of a clinical trial, Client shall, at a minimum, obtain and maintain at its sole cost and expense commercial general liability insurance, including products liability insurance and completed operations for human clinical trials with limits of at least $[***] per occurrence with insurers rated A- or better by A.M. Best. Any and all insurance policies satisfying this provision shall name PSG and its parent(s), subsidiaries and affiliates as an additional insured. Client’s insurance shall be primary over PSG’s insurance with respect to product liability and Client’s insurance policies shall not be construed to mean any form of limitation of Client’s liability or obligations. Each party shall be given at least [***] days prior written notice of the lapse or termination of such insurance, except in the event of cancellation for non-payment of premium, whereby [***] days’ notice will be provided. Each party shall provide to the other a Certificate of Insurance substantiating the existence of the insurance required by this provision within [***] days of any request by the other party. Any “Claims Made” insurance policy shall include a provision accounting for a reporting period of no less than [***] years after the termination of this Agreement. |
(i) | Entire Agreement. This Contract together with any quality agreements entered into hereunder, and any other agreements (e.g., a Capital Agreement) that are expressly entered into hereunder, including the Confidentiality Agreement, are the complete agreement between the parties with respect to this subject matter and supersedes all other prior agreements, representations and understandings, whether written or oral. Any modifications, amendment or supplement to this Contract must be in writing and signed by authorized representatives of both parties. |
(j) | Severability. If any provision of this Contract is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, that determination will not impair or affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remaining provisions, because each provision is separate, severable, and distinct. |
(k) | Counterparts & “pdf”. This Contract may be signed in counterparts and exchanged by “pdf.” |
(l) | No Third Party Benefit or Right. Nothing in this Contract will confer or be construed as conferring on any third party, other than a PSG Affiliate or a Client Affiliate that are parties to a Project Proposal, any benefit or the right to enforce any express or implied term of this Contract. |
(m) | Choice of Law. This Contract and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to any conflicts-of-law principle that directs the application to another jurisdiction’s law. Both parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware. The parties further expressly agree that the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to this Contract. |
(n) | Non-Solicitation. During the term of this Contract and for one year after its termination, neither party nor its Affiliates will, directly or indirectly, solicit, induce, recruit, encourage or otherwise endeavour to cause or attempt to cause any officer, employee, director or consultant of the other party or any of its Affiliates who became known to the first party in connection with the Services or who has performed work in connection with the Services, to terminate or discontinue their employment, contract or other relationship with the other party or any of its Affiliates. |
(o) | Anti-Bribery. |
The parties agree:

requirements for 21 CFR Part 11 for electronic signatures. Upon request by Client, PSG will provide copies of product-related documentation over the course of performing services. PSG shall retain records as required by the applicable Project Proposal for the longer of [***] years (or as otherwise agreed to in the Quality Agreement) or a period required by the Applicable Laws for record keeping, testing and regulatory purposes.
