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 in the Price for Products; all cost items that are not included in this list are excluded from the Price and 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. Unless otherwise agreed in a Product Agreement, Patheon will manufacture at least [...***...]% of the Products offered for sale by Client in the Territory if Patheon remains in material compliance with its obligations under this Agreement and the Product 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. |
(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 deviations as specified by the Quality Agreement, 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 those batch documents is Client property. |
(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 will 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 […***…], 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 all stability test data and results at Client’s request. |
(e) | Packaging. 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 |

Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
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 all applicable governmental agencies 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 contemplated 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. |
(f) | Active Materials and Client-Supplied Components. At least [...***...] days before the scheduled production date, Client will deliver the Active Materials and any Client-Supplied Components to the Manufacturing Site […***…] (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 […***…] 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 and the Client, confirming the identity and purity of the Active Materials and its compliance with the Active Material specifications. At a minimum, Patheon will perform identity testing on each incoming lot of API and a full testing will be performed at least for one batch per year. Additional incoming tests to be performed on the API will be defined in the respective Product Agreement. |
(g) | Xxxx Back Items. Xxxx Back Items will be charged to Client at Patheon’s cost plus a […***…]% handling fee for an item costing $[…***…] or less or, for an item costing in excess of $[…***…], a handling fee of […***…]%. |
(h) | Validation Activities. Patheon may assist in the development and approval of the validation protocols for analytical methods and manufacturing procedures (including packaging procedures) for the Products. The fees associated with Patheon’s assistance in providing validation development assistance are set out in Schedule C to a Product Agreement. |
(i) | Product Rejection for Finished Product Specification Failure. Internal process specifications will be defined and agreed upon. If it is determined by a quality investigation that Patheon manufactured Product in accordance with the agreed upon process specifications, the batch production record, and Patheon’s standard operating procedures for manufacturing, but 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). |

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 [...***...]. 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 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 […***…] 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
Unless otherwise agreed in a Product Agreement, after Patheon has produced a minimum of […***…] successful commercial production batches of Product and has produced commercial production batches for at least […***…] 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: |

[...***...]
(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 […***…] 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

Upon Client’s request, Patheon will provide a breakdown of the manufacturing conversion costs, packaging conversion costs, and the Component costs for a Product.
4.2 Price Adjustments – Subsequent Years’ Pricing.
After the first Year of the Product Agreement, but in no case before [...***...], 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 Price 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 about November 1st 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. |
(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. On or about November 1st of each Year, Patheon will give Client information about the increase in Component costs which will be applied to the calculation of the Price for the next Year to reasonably demonstrate that the Price increase is justified. |
(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 […***…]. |
(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 |

Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
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 [...***...] forecast provided in September of the previous Year. Within […***…] 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 overpaid during the Year, Patheon will issue a credit to the Client for the amount of the overpayment within […***…] days of the end of the Year or will issue payment to the Client for the overpayment within […***…] 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 […***…] 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 […***…] days, the matter will be handled under Section 12.1. |
(f) | Process Improvement Efforts. Patheon continually works to improve its processes to eliminate waste, improve cost efficiencies, deliver product as promised and adhere to strict quality standards. Patheon believes in the continuous improvement of its performance, which led Patheon to create the Patheon Advantage program. Patheon Advantage incorporates Lean6Sigma to identify opportunities and implement changes to maximize the efficiency of Patheon’s processes. If these improvement efforts result in quantifiable reductions in costs in providing the Services contemplated under this Agreement Patheon will promptly notify Client of the reductions, and the Price hereunder will be reduced by […***…]% of the cost reduction from and after the date of the notice. |
For all Price adjustments under this Section 4.2, Patheon will deliver to Client on or about November 1st 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.
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 […***…] 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 5.6 (“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 = […***…]
***Confidential Treatment Requested
- 13 -
Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
On or before June 10 of each Year, the parties will agree on the YFV for the next [...***...] 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.
4.4 Adjustments Due to Technical Changes.
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 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 Patheon’s cost (including all costs incurred by Patheon for the purchase and handling of the Inventory), 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. If an amendment to the Specifications or the Quality Agreement becomes necessary as the result of changes to a compendia, the Parties will discuss the necessary changes and Client will be solely responsible for the costs associated with these changes.

5.1 Orders and Forecasts.
(a) | Rolling [...***...] Month Forecast. When each Product Agreement is executed, Client will give Patheon a non-binding […***…] month forecast of the volume of Product that Client expects to order in the first […***…] months of commercial manufacture of the Product. This forecast will then be updated by Client on or before the […***…] day of each month on a rolling forward basis. Client will update the forecast forthwith if it determines that the volumes estimated in the most recent forecast have changed by more than […***…]%. The most recent […***…] month forecast will prevail. |
(b) | Firm Orders. On a rolling basis during the term of the Product Agreement, Client will issue an updated […***…] month forecast on or before the […***…] day of each month. This forecast will start on the first day of the next month. The first […***…] months of this updated forecast will be considered binding firm orders. Concurrent with the […***…] month forecast, Client will issue a new firm written order in the form of a purchase order or otherwise (“Firm Order”) by Client to purchase and, when accepted by Patheon, for Patheon to manufacture and deliver the agreed quantity of the Products. The Delivery Date will not be less than […***…] days following the date that the Firm Order is submitted. Firm Orders submitted to Patheon will specify Client’s purchase order number, quantities by Product type, monthly delivery schedule, and any other elements necessary to ensure the timely manufacture and shipment of the Products. The quantities of Products ordered in those written orders will be firm and binding on Client and may not be reduced by Client. |
(c) | […***…] Year Forecast. On or before the […***…] of each Year, Client will give Patheon a written non-binding […***…]-year forecast, broken down by quarters for the […***…] and […***…] years of the forecast, of the volume of each Product Client then anticipates will be required to be manufactured and delivered to Client during the […***…]-year period. |
(d) | Acceptance of Firm Order. Patheon will accept Firm Orders by sending an acknowledgement to Client within […***…] Business Days of its receipt of the Firm Order. The acknowledgement will include, subject to confirmation from the Client, the Delivery Date for the Product ordered. The Delivery Date may be amended by agreement of the parties or as set forth in Section 2.1(f). |

5.2 Reliance by Patheon.
(a) Client understands and acknowledges that Patheon will rely on the Firm Orders and rolling forecasts submitted under Sections 5.1(a), and (b) in ordering the Components (other than Client-Supplied Components) required to meet the Firm Orders. In addition, Client understands that to ensure an orderly supply of the Components, Patheon may want to purchase the Components in sufficient volumes to meet the production requirements for Products during part or all of the forecasted periods referred to in Section 5.1(a) or to meet the production requirements of any longer period agreed to by Patheon and Client. Accordingly, Client authorizes Patheon to purchase Components to satisfy the Manufacturing Services requirements for Products for the first [...***...] months contemplated in the most recent forecast given by Client under Section 5.1(a). Patheon may make other purchases of Components to meet Manufacturing Services requirements for longer periods if agreed to in writing by the parties. The Client will give Patheon written authorization to order Components for any launch quantities of Product requested by Client which will be considered a Firm Order when accepted by Patheon. If Components ordered by Patheon under Firm Orders or this Section 5.2 are not included in finished Products manufactured for Client within […***…] months after the forecasted month for which the purchases have been made (or for a longer period as the parties may agree) or if the Components have expired during the period, then Client will pay to Patheon its costs therefor (including all costs incurred by Patheon for the purchase and handling of the Components). But if these Components are used in Products subsequently manufactured for Client or in third party products manufactured by Patheon, Client will receive credit for any costs of those Components previously paid to Patheon by Client.
(b) If Client fails to take possession or arrange for the destruction of Components within […***…] months of purchase or, in the case of finished Product, within […***…] of manufacture, Client will pay Patheon $[…***…] per pallet, per month thereafter for storing the Components or finished Product. Storage fees for Components or Product which contain controlled substances or require refrigeration will be charged at $[…***…] per pallet per month. Storage fees are subject to a one pallet minimum charge per month. Patheon may ship finished Product held by it longer than […***…] to the Client at Client’s expense on […***…] days written notice to the Client.
5.3 Minimum Orders.
Client may only order Manufacturing Services for batches of Products in multiples of the Minimum Order Quantities as set out in Schedule B to a Product Agreement.
5.4 Shipments.
Shipments of Products will be made […***…] (Incoterms 2010) Patheon’s shipping point unless otherwise agreed in a Product Agreement. Risk of loss or of damage to Products will remain with Patheon until Patheon loads the Products onto the carrier’s vehicle for shipment at which time risk of loss or damage will transfer to Client. Patheon will, in accordance with Client’s instructions and as agent for Client, (i) arrange for shipping to be paid by Client and (ii) obtain any export license or other official authorization necessary to export the Products. Client will arrange for insurance and will select the freight carrier used by Patheon to ship Products and may monitor Patheon’s shipping and freight practices as they pertain to this Agreement. Products will be transported in accordance with the Specifications.

5.5 Late Delivery
If Patheon is unable to deliver the quantity of Product ordered under a Firm Order within [...***...] of the Delivery Date due to an act or omission by Patheon (a “Late Delivery”), Client will receive a credit from Patheon for the Late Delivery that will be applied against the purchase price under the next Firm Order. The credit will be […***…]% of the Price of the quantities of Product not delivered by Patheon under the Firm Order within […***…] of the Delivery Date […***…]. An additional credit of […***…]% of the Price of the quantities of Product not delivered by Patheon under a Firm Order will accrue for each additional […***…] of the Late Delivery up to a maximum aggregate credit of […***…]%. A Late Delivery will not be a material breach of this Agreement by Patheon for the purposes of Section 8.2(a). For clarity, 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.
5.6 Invoices and Payment.
Invoices will be sent by fax or email to the fax number or email address given by Client to Patheon in writing. Invoices will be sent when the Product is manufactured and released by Patheon to the Client. Patheon will also submit to Client, with each shipment of Products, a duplicate copy of the invoice covering the shipment. Patheon will also give Client an invoice covering any Inventory or Components which are to be purchased by Client under Section 5.2 of this Agreement. Each invoice will, to the extent applicable, identify Client’s Manufacturing Services purchase order number, Product numbers, names and quantities, unit price, freight charges, and the total amount to be paid by Client. Client will pay all invoices within […***…] days of the date thereof. If any portion of an invoice is disputed, the Client will pay Patheon for the undisputed amount and the parties will use good faith efforts to reconcile the disputed amount as soon as practicable. Beginning […***…] days after the date of the invoice, interest on undisputed past due accounts will accrue at […***…]% per month which is equal to an annual rate of […***…]%. The Late Delivery credits set forth in Section 5.5 are only available to Client if all outstanding undisputed invoices have been paid in full or are within […***…] days outstanding from the invoice date when the Late Delivery arose.
ARTICLE 6
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 […***…] days after Client’s receipt thereof (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, within […***…] 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 […***…] day period, then the delivery will be deemed to have been accepted by Client on the […***…] day after delivery or discovery, as applicable. Except as set out in Section 6.3, Patheon will have no liability for any deviations for which it has not received notice within the applicable […***…] day period.
***Confidential Treatment Requested
- 17 -
Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
(b) Determination of Deficiency. Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Patheon will have [...***...] 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 […***…] 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 contemplated 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 […***…] day after delivery (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, on the […***…] 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. Claims for shortages in the amount of Products shipped by Patheon will be dealt with by reasonable agreement of the parties.
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 governmental or 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 co-operate 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. If Client previously paid for the defective Products, Patheon will promptly, at Client’s election, either: (i) refund the invoice price for the defective Products; (ii) offset the
***Confidential Treatment Requested

Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
amount paid against other amounts due to Patheon hereunder; or (iii) replace the Products with conforming Products without Client being liable for payment therefor under Section 3.1, contingent upon the receipt from Client of all Active Materials and Client-Supplied Components required for the manufacture of the replacement Products. For greater certainty, Patheon’s responsibility for any loss of Active Materials in defective Product will be captured and calculated in the Active Materials Yield under Section 2.2.
(b) Recalled Product. If a Recall or return results from, or arises out of, a failure by Patheon to perform the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, Patheon will be responsible for the documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Recall or return and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to replace the Recalled or returned Products with new Products, contingent upon the receipt from Client of all Active Materials and Client-Supplied Components required for the manufacture of the replacement 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 or Client-Supplied Components 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.
6.4 Disposition of Defective or Recalled Products.
Client will not dispose of any damaged, defective, returned, or Recalled Products for which it intends to assert a claim against Patheon without Patheon’s prior written authorization to do so. Alternatively, Patheon may instruct Client to return the Products to Patheon. Patheon will bear the cost of disposition for any damaged, defective, returned or Recalled Products for which it bears responsibility under Section 6.3. In all other circumstances, Client will bear the cost of disposition, including all applicable fees for Manufacturing Services, for any damaged, defective, returned, or Recalled Products.
6.5 Healthcare Provider or Patient Questions and Complaints.
Client will have the sole responsibility for responding to questions and complaints from its customers. Questions or complaints received by Patheon from Client’s customers, healthcare providers or patients will be promptly referred to Client. Patheon will co-operate as reasonably required to allow Client to determine the cause of and resolve any questions and complaints. This assistance will include follow-up investigations, including testing. In addition, Patheon will give Client all agreed upon information that will enable Client to respond properly to questions or complaints about the Products as

8.1 Initial Term.
This Agreement will become effective as of the Effective Date and will continue until December 31, 2019 (the “Initial Term”), unless terminated earlier by one of the parties in accordance herewith. This Agreement will automatically renew after the Initial Term for successive terms of three Years each if there is a Product Agreement in effect, unless either party gives written notice to the other party of its intention to terminate this Agreement at least 24 months prior to the end of the then current term. In any event, the legal terms and conditions of this Agreement will continue to govern any Product Agreement in effect as provided in Section 1.2. Each Product Agreement will have an initial term of five Years from the start of commercial manufacture at the Manufacturing Site for the Product unless the parties agree to a different number of Years in the applicable Product Agreement (each, an “Initial Product Term”). Product Agreements will automatically renew after the Initial Product Term for successive terms of three Years each unless either party gives written notice to the other party of its intention to terminate the Product Agreement at least 24 months prior to the end of the then current term.
8.2 Termination for Cause.
(a) Either party at its sole option may terminate this Agreement or a Product Agreement upon written notice where the other party has failed to remedy a material breach of any of its representations,
***Confidential Treatment Requested

Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
warranties, or other obligations under this Agreement or the Product Agreement within 60 days following receipt of a written notice (the “Remediation Period”) of the breach that expressly states that it is a notice under this Section 8.2(a) (a “Breach Notice”). The aggrieved party’s right to terminate this Agreement or a Product Agreement under this Section 8.2(a) may only be exercised for a period of 60 days following the expiry of the Remediation Period (where the breach has not been remedied) and if the termination right is not exercised during this period then the aggrieved party will be deemed to have waived the breach of the representation, warranty, or obligation described in the Breach Notice.
(b) Either party at its sole option may immediately terminate this Agreement or a Product Agreement upon written notice, but without prior advance notice, to the other party if: (i) the other party is declared insolvent or bankrupt by a court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) a voluntary petition of bankruptcy is filed in any court of competent jurisdiction by the other party; or (iii) this Agreement or a Product Agreement is assigned by the other party for the benefit of creditors.
(c) Client may terminate a Product Agreement upon 30 days’ prior written notice if any Authority takes any action, or raises any objection, that prevents Client from importing, exporting, purchasing, or selling the Product. But if this occurs, Client must still fulfill all of its obligations under Section 8.4 below and under any Capital Equipment Agreement regarding the Product.
(d) Patheon may terminate this Agreement or a Product Agreement upon six months’ prior written notice if Client assigns under Section 13.6 any of its rights under this Agreement or a Product Agreement to an assignee that, in the reasonable opinion of Patheon, is: (i) not a credit worthy substitute for Client or (ii) a Patheon Competitor.
8.3 Product Discontinuation.
Client will give at least six months’ advance notice if it intends to no longer order Manufacturing Services for a Product due to this Product’s discontinuance in the market.
8.4 Obligations on Termination.
If a Product Agreement is completed, expires, or is terminated in whole or in part for any reason, then:
(a) | Client will take delivery of and pay for all undelivered Products that are manufactured and/or packaged under a Firm Order, at the price in effect at the time the Firm Order was placed, subject to Client’s right to reject any such Product as described in Article 6 of this Agreement; |
(b) | Client will purchase, at Patheon’s cost (including all costs incurred by Patheon for the purchase and handling of the Inventory), the Inventory applicable to the Products which was purchased, produced or maintained by Patheon in contemplation of filling Firm Orders or in accordance with Section 5.2, but not including Components which Patheon can use in its other Manufacturing operations and not including any Inventory that has been stored or otherwise maintained in an environment that a Regulatory Authority has determined, or would reasonably determine, is not cGMP compliant; |
(c) | Client will satisfy the purchase price payable under Patheon’s orders with suppliers of Components, if the orders were made by Patheon in reliance on Firm Orders or in accordance with Section 5.2; |
***Confidential Treatment Requested

Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
(d) | Client acknowledges that no Patheon Competitor will be permitted access to the Manufacturing Site; and |
(e) | Client will make commercially reasonable efforts, at its own expense, to remove from Patheon site(s), within 30 days, all unused Active Material and Client-Supplied Components, all applicable Inventory and Materials (whether current or obsolete), supplies, undelivered Product, chattels, [E]equipment or other moveable property owned by Client, related to the Agreement and located at a Patheon site or that is otherwise under Patheon’s care and control (“Client Property”). If Client fails to remove the Client Property within 30 days following the completion, termination, or expiration of the Product Agreement, Client will pay Patheon $100.00 per pallet, per month, one pallet minimum (except that Client will pay $200 per pallet, per month, one pallet minimum, for any of the Client Property that contains controlled substances, requires refrigeration or other special storage requirements) thereafter for storing the Client Property and will assume any third party storage charges invoiced to Patheon regarding the Client Property. Patheon will invoice Client for the storage charges as set forth in Section 5.6 of this Agreement. |
(f) | The parties will reasonably cooperate to support the transfer of the manufacture of the Products to a third party manufacturer. |
Any termination or expiration of this Agreement or a Product Agreement will not affect any outstanding obligations or payments due prior to the termination or expiration, nor will it prejudice any other remedies that the parties may have under this Agreement or a Product Agreement or any related Capital Equipment Agreement. For greater certainty, termination of this Agreement or of a Product Agreement for any reason will not affect the obligations and responsibilities of the parties under Articles 6, 10 and 11 and Sections 5.4, 5.6, 8.4, 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, and 13.16, all of which survive any termination.

(b) Maximum Liability. Patheon’s maximum liability to Client under this Agreement or any Product Agreement for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, any liability arising under Article 6 hereof or resulting from any and all breaches of its representations, warranties, or any other obligations under this Agreement or any Product Agreement, but excluding [...***...], will not exceed on a per Product basis […***…]% of revenues per Year to Patheon under the applicable Product Agreement, up to a maximum of $[…***…] in the aggregate per Year for all Products.

***Confidential Treatment Requested
- 26 -
Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
the losses, damages, costs, claims, demands, judgments, and liability are due to the negligence or wrongful act(s) of Client, its officers, employees, agents, or Affiliates.
If a claim occurs, Client will: (a) promptly notify Patheon of the claim; (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the claim; (c) reasonably cooperate with Patheon in the defense of the claim; and (d) permit Patheon to control the defense and settlement of the claim, all at Patheon’s cost and expense.
10.4 Client.
Client agrees to defend and indemnify Patheon, its officers, employees, and agents against all losses, damages, costs, claims, demands, judgments and liability to, from and in favour of third parties (other than Affiliates) resulting from, or relating to any claim of infringement or alleged infringement of any Third Party Rights in the Products, or any portion thereof, or any claim of personal injury or property damage to the extent that the injury or damage is the result of a breach of this Agreement by Client, including, without limitation, any representation or warranty contained herein, except to the extent that the losses, damages, costs, claims, demands, judgments, and liability are due to the negligence or wrongful act(s) of Patheon, its officers, employees, or agents.

Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
ARTICLE 12
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
12.1 Commercial Disputes.
If any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any Product Agreement (other than a dispute under Section 6.1(b) or a Technical Dispute, as defined herein), the parties will first try to resolve it amicably. In that regard, any party may send a notice of dispute to the other, and each party will appoint, within […***…] Business Days from receipt of the notice of dispute, a single representative having full power and authority to resolve the dispute. The representatives will meet as necessary in order to resolve the dispute. If the representatives fail to resolve the matter within […***…] from their appointment, or if a party fails to appoint a representative within the […***…] Business Day period set forth above, the dispute will immediately be referred to the Chief Operating Officer (or another officer as he/she may designate) of each party who will meet and discuss as necessary to try to resolve the dispute amicably. Should the parties fail to reach a resolution under this Section 12.1, the dispute will be referred to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 13.16.
12.2 Technical Dispute Resolution.
If a dispute arises (other than disputes under Sections 6.1(b) or 12.1) between the parties that is exclusively related to technical aspects of the manufacturing, packaging, labelling, quality control testing, handling, storage, or other activities under this Agreement (a “Technical Dispute”), the parties will make all reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute by amicable negotiations. In that regard, senior representatives of each party will, as soon as possible and in any event no later than […***…] Business Days after a written request from either party to the other, meet in good faith to resolve any Technical Dispute. If, despite this meeting, the parties are unable to resolve a Technical Dispute within a reasonable time, and in any event within […***…] Business Days of the written request, the Technical Dispute will, at the request of either party, be referred for determination to an expert in accordance with Exhibit A. If the parties cannot agree that a dispute is a Technical Dispute, Section 12.1 will prevail. For greater certainty, the parties agree that 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 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.
ARTICLE 13
MISCELLANEOUS
13.1 Corporate Responsibility. Patheon, while performing the Manufacturing Services under this Agreement, will comply, in all material respects, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and standards that relate to the Agreement including, but not limited to, those relating to environmental matters, public health, wages, hours and conditions of employment, subcontractor selection, discrimination and occupational health/safety. Without limiting the foregoing, Patheon covenants that neither Patheon nor any of its subcontractors will utilize child or any form of forced or involuntary labor in while performing the Manufacturing Services under this Agreement.

Neither party will use any Intellectual Property of the other party, except as specifically authorized by the other party or as required for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
13.4 Insurance.
Each party will maintain commercial general liability insurance, including blanket contractual liability insurance covering the obligations of that party under this Agreement through the term of this Agreement and for a period of three years thereafter. This insurance will have policy limits of not less than (i) $[…***…] for each occurrence for personal injury or property damage liability; and (ii) $[…***…] in the aggregate per annum for product and completed operations liability. If requested each party will give the other a certificate of insurance evidencing the above and showing the name of the issuing company, the policy number, the effective date, the expiration date, and the limits of liability.

13.5 Independent Contractors.
The parties are independent contractors and this Agreement and any Product Agreement will not be construed to create between Patheon and Client any other relationship such as, by way of example only, that of employer-employee, principal agent, joint-venturer, co-partners, or any similar relationship, the existence of which is expressly denied by the parties.
13.6 No Waiver.
Either party’s failure to require the other party to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Product Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of the provision or any other provision of this Agreement or any Product Agreement, with the exception of Sections 6.1 and 8.2 of this Agreement.

(b) | Subject to Section 8.2(d), Client may assign this Agreement or any Product Agreement or any of its associated rights or obligations without approval from Patheon.

Any partial assignment will be subject to Patheon’s cost review of the assigned Products and Patheon may terminate this Agreement or any Product Agreement or any assigned part thereof, on […***…] months’ prior written notice to Client and the assignee if good faith discussions do not lead to agreement on amended Manufacturing Service fees within a reasonable time. |
(c) | Despite the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.6, either party may assign this Agreement or any Product Agreement to any of its Affiliates or to a successor to or purchaser of all or substantially all of its business, but the assignee must execute an agreement with the non-assigning party whereby it agrees to be bound hereunder. |
13.8 Force Majeure.
Neither party will be liable for the failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Product Agreement if the failure is caused by an event beyond that party’s reasonable control, including, but not limited to, strikes or other labor disturbances, lockouts, riots, quarantines, communicable disease outbreaks, wars, acts of terrorism, fires, floods, storms, interruption of or delay in transportation, defective equipment, lack of or inability to obtain fuel, power or components, or compliance with any order or regulation of any government entity acting within colour of right (a “Force Majeure Event”). A party claiming a right to excused performance under this Section 13.7 will immediately notify the other party in writing of the extent of its inability to perform, which notice will specify the event beyond its reasonable control that prevents the performance. Neither party will be entitled to rely on a Force Majeure Event to relieve it from an obligation to pay money (including any interest for

13.11 Severability.

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 […***…] 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 […***…] 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 |
