Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, GILEAD’s remedies under this Section 8.4 shall be cumulative with other remedies it may have under this Agreement.

With respect to any changes of the Manufacturing, quality control and packaging of the Bulk Product (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Change(s)”), the Parties agree with respect to the implication on the Supply Price as follows:
10.2.1 Changes requested by GILEAD. If GILEAD requests a Change which would result in an increase in APO’s costs for Components or for manufacturing, controlling or packaging the Bulk Product, the Parties shall discuss in good faith what impact, if any, such Change will have on the Supply Price of the Bulk Product, and APO shall propose in good faith a proposal that
13
states the price change due to implementation of such a Change. If GILEAD should accept a proposed price change, the proposed Change shall be implemented, and the price change shall become effective only with respect to those orders of the Bulk Product which are manufactured in accordance with the revised Specifications. Unless a proposed Change would cause extreme disruption to APO’s other operations at the Manufacturing Facility, APO will be obligated to implement such Change if GILEAD accepts APO’s good faith proposal for a price change.
Notwithstanding any Change in the Specifications implemented in accordance with the terms of Art. 10.2.1 above, GILEAD agrees to purchase all the Bulk Product manufactured by APO based upon any Binding Order relying on “old” Specification at the “old” price for those Bulk Product. In addition, GILEAD agrees to purchase all Components and Inventory utilised under the “old” Specifications and purchased or maintained by APO in order to fulfil Binding Orders in accordance with Section 6 of the Agreement, to the extent that such Components and Inventory can no longer be utilised under the revised Specifications. Open purchase orders for Components no longer required under any revised Specification which were placed by APO with suppliers in order to fulfil Binding Orders in accordance with Section 6 of the Agreement shall be cancelled where possible, and where such orders are not subject to cancellation without penalty, shall be assigned to and satisfied by GILEAD.
10.2.2 Other Required Changes. In any event, should a Change become necessary in order to allow APO to guarantee the performance of the activities in a state of the art way or to comply with new provisions or compulsory requests of the regulatory authorities or, in any event, with APO’s obligations under this Agreement, APO shall immediately inform GILEAD accordingly and the provisions set forth in Art. 10.2.1 above shall apply, provided, however, that if such Change is not specific to the Bulk Product but instead relates to compliance of the Manufacturing Facility or APO’s general procedures with GMP, any increased costs to APO would be allocated equitably and consistently across all products manufactured by APO at the Manufacturing Facility.

Manufacturing Line [*]
[*] of API [*]
1. Manufacturing Line Loss (Yield)
The Parties shall set forth and indicate in an addendum to this Schedule “H” the total [*] of API allowable per [*] period under the Manufacturing line [*] after completion of the production of [*] bulk. Other than in cases where APO has failed to comply with Section 3.3, APO shall not be required to [*] GILEAD based on [*] or API Manufacturing line [*] for the first [*] batches.
In addition, the following aspects have to be considered:
• Given that the API source might have an impact on the production process, no [*] will be [*] by APO for a special API-source before [*] with the API-source were produced at APO.
• Each change of the manufacturing process, which requires a new validation and is of a nature that it is likely to change the Manufacturing line [*] will lead to the same procedure and a new agreement concerning the acceptable [*] as described in the addendum to Schedule “D”. In such event, the schedule of [*] periods section (a) of the addendum shall not be changed unless it this would cause an inequitable result, in which case the parties will agree in good faith upon an equitable schedule. If the parties disagree as to whether a change is likely to change the Manufacturing line [*], they will agree in good faith as to whether to reach a new agreement regarding acceptable line [*] pursuant to Schedule “D”.
Addendum to Schedule “H”
(a) Initial Allowable Manufacturing Line [*] per [*] period: the initial allowable Manufacturing line [*] shall be equal to [*] not subject to deviation that are produced under this Agreement, minus the allowing [*]:
[*]
[*], then
[*] Manufacturing Line [*]: At the end of every [*] period, the allowable manufacturing line [*] shall be adjusted to be equal to [*] not subject to deviation that are produced under this Agreement [*], minus the [*] applicable at that time according to section (a).
(c) [*] Arrangement: the [*] arrangement will start with the first batch, that is produced after the allowable manufacturing line [*] has been determined based on the [*] initial batches pursuant to section (a).
(d) [*] Procedure: the [*] calculation will consider a period of time of up to [*] months by the following procedure, using the allowable Manufacturing line [*] determined pursuant to sections (a) or (b) as applicable:
i. If the actual Manufacturing line [*] for batches Manufactured during an initial [*] month period is less than the allowed Manufacturing line [*], this period will [*].
44
ii. If the actual Manufacturing line [*] for batches manufactured during a [*] month period is greater than allowed Manufacturing line [*], [*] will be due at that time. [*] at the end of the next [*] month period, the actual Manufacturing line [*] shall be determined for batches Manufactured during the [*] month period.
iii. If the actual Manufacturing line [*] for batches Manufactured during the [*] month period is less than the allowed Manufacturing line [*], [*] for [*] Manufacturing line [*] will be [*] pursuant to Section 2.7 for such [*] month period.
iv. If the actual Manufacturing line [*] for batches Manufactured during the [*] month period is [*] the allowed Manufacturing line [*], [*] pursuant to Section 2.7 for the [*] between the [*] Manufacturing line [*]. With [*] for such [*], a new period of time with reference to a [*] will start.
v. For every [*], this [*] is [*] initially, based on an initial [*] for [*] API.
vi. As the [*] for API may fluctuate over time, on an annual basis GILEAD may determine an adjustment to the API [*] to reflect such [*] in the [*] month period prior to such adjustment. Such adjusted API [*] shall apply under this Schedule D solely on a prospective basis. APO shall have the right to audit the methodology employed by GILEAD to determine an adjusted [*] for API.
