Commitment shall be [***] of the Purchase Plan Units.
(c) Notwithstanding subsection (b) above, and solely with
respect to the Initial Drug Product, in the event the Initial Drug Product has
not received Regulatory Approval in the Territories by December 31, 2000, then
the Minimum Order Commitment for the Initial Drug Product for the entirety of
the Territories shall be calculated as follows:
(i) The Minimum Order Commitment shall be [***] of
the Purchase Plan Units for the Calendar Year in which such Drug Product first
receives Regulatory Approval in the Territories. If the date of such Regulatory
Approval is on or after July 1 of such Calendar Year, then the Minimum Order
Commitment shall also be [***] of the Purchase Plan Units for the following
Calendar Year (in total, the "[***] Period");
(ii) For the first Calendar Year following the
[***] Period described in subsection (i) above and thereafter, the Minimum Order
Commitment shall be [***] of the Purchase Plan Units.
(d) The Minimum Order Commitment may be adjusted with
respect to one or more countries in the applicable Territories, as further
described in Section 3.3.5(a).
3.3.5 Notwithstanding Section 3.3.4, in the event that PCYC is
required by a Regulatory Authority to cease the sale of a Drug Product in a
country or countries, then the following shall apply:
(a) The Minimum Order Commitment for such Drug Product
with respect to such country(ies) shall be deemed to be [***] of the Units of
such Drug Product forecast for such country(ies) under the Annual Forecast for
the Calendar Year in which such order or notice of such withdrawal was received
by PCYC occurred (the "Cessation Year"); provided that the Minimum Order
Commitment shall remain at the levels set forth in Section 3.3.4(b) for the
remainder of the applicable Territories during the Cessation Year. Following the

- [***]
3.4 PURCHASE ORDERS. All purchases of Drug Products shall be made
pursuant to written Purchase Orders which shall be delivered to Contractor at
least ninety (90) days in advance of the date of shipment specified in said
Purchase Order. To the extent that the terms of a Purchase Order are
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement shall control.
Contractor shall ship all Drug Products as set forth in Section 5.5 by the date
and in the quantities specified in the applicable Purchase Order. Contractor
shall be obligated to accept any Purchase Order within the range of permitted
variation in the forecasted quantities as set forth in Section 3.3.3. Any other
Purchase Order shall be binding on Contractor only if it is accepted by
Contractor, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld. PCYC shall be
obligated to buy and Contractor shall be obligated to sell only the quantities
of Drug Product which are subject to a Purchase Order accepted by Contractor.
Any Purchase Order (or portion thereof) for which PCYC has not received a
written rejection from Contractor within fifteen (15) business days of
Contractor's receipt of such Purchase Order shall be deemed accepted by
Contractor. In the event that Contractor rejects any Purchase Order or portion
thereof in accordance with Section 3.3.3, the Primary Source Contract
Requirements for such Drug Product shall be reduced by such rejected amount, and
the Secondary Source Contract Requirements for such Drug Product shall be
commensurately increased.
3.5 AMENDMENT OR CANCELLATION OF PURCHASE ORDER.
3.5.1 Subject to Section 3.4, PCYC may amend or cancel any
Purchase Order by providing Contractor written notice of such amendment or
cancellation no later than fifteen (15) calendar days after Contractor's
acceptance of the original Purchase Order or as provided in Section 3.3.5.
3.5.2 In the event that PCYC amends or cancels any Purchase
Order, PCYC shall reimburse Contractor for any non-cancelable, out-of-pocket
costs reasonably incurred by Contractor in fulfilling such amended or canceled
Purchase Order up to the time of Contractor's receipt of such notice of
amendment or cancellation, subject to the terms of this Section 3.5. In the case
of an amended Purchase Order, such reimbursement shall only be made to the
extent of costs that will not be recovered by Contractor upon payment for
quantities of Drug Product delivered under the amended Purchase Order. Such
reimbursement shall include without limitation the actual cost of any excess or
obsolete materials purchased by Contractor for its performance of a binding
Purchase Order. PCYC shall also reimburse Contractor for the actual cost of any
such excess or obsolete materials that are unique to the Drug Product and are
purchased by Contractor based upon the Purchase Plans described in Section 3.3,
but only to the extent that the quantities of Drug Product forecasted for such
period exceed the quantities covered by Purchase Orders. At PCYC's election,
Contractor shall deliver to PCYC any materials for which PCYC has reimbursed
Contractor pursuant to this Section 3.5.2.
*Indicates that material has been omitted and confidential treatment has been
requested therefor. All such omitted material has been filed separately with

3.5.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.5,
PCYC's reimbursement obligations under this Section 3.5 for any materials shall
apply only to the extent that such materials cannot reasonably be used by
Contractor in fulfilling a subsequent Purchase Order or in fulfilling purchase
orders for other customers.
3.5.4 PCYC's right to amend or cancel a Purchase Order shall not
affect its obligation to meet the Minimum Order Commitment under Section 3.3.4,
subject to Section 3.3.5.
3.6 TESTING OF BATCHES BY CONTRACTOR. Contractor will test each Batch of
Drug Product in accordance with the applicable Testing Standards and Procedures,
and shall supply PCYC with a certificate of analysis confirming that such Batch
meets the Drug Product Specifications and Packaging Specifications at the time
of batch release if practicable, but in any event no later than with shipment of
such Batch in connection with commercial Manufacturing. Contractor shall hold
and store samples from each Batch as and for the period required under cGMP. If
Contractor notices any testing or material manufacturing discrepancies during
the Manufacturing of a Drug Product, Contractor shall promptly notify PCYC. PCYC
may retest a Drug Product as more fully set forth in Section 5.2 to confirm that
it meets the applicable Drug Product Specifications and Packaging
Specifications. The Drug Product Specifications, Packaging Specifications,
Testing Standards and Procedures and Drug Product Appendices each may be amended
from time to time, as the Parties' experience with the Manufacture, testing and
use of each Drug Product warrants, upon mutual written agreement of PCYC and
Contractor.
3.7 SECONDARY SOURCES.
3.7.1 ALLOCATION OF MANUFACTURING.
(a) PCYC reserves the right to secure the Manufacturing of
each Drug Product Manufactured by Contractor hereunder, or other forms of
manufacturing assistance, from a Secondary Source as provided in this Section
3.7. For the supply of such Drug Product covered by this Agreement that is to be
sold or distributed by PCYC in the Territories, PCYC shall receive no more than
its Secondary Source Contract Requirements for each Drug Product (as determined
in accordance with this Section 3.7.1) from Secondary Sources, except as set
forth in Section 3.7.2. Contractor acknowledges that PCYC requires at least one
Secondary Source to be qualified for each Drug Product as soon as possible
following the Effective Date, and thereafter during the term of this Agreement.
(b) The Secondary Source Contract Requirements for each
Drug Product shall initially be set at the minimum quantity of such Drug Product
necessary to qualify a Secondary Source to Manufacture such Drug Product during
the applicable Calendar Year (the "Qualification Amount," as determined in
subsection (c) below), and the Primary Source Contract Requirement shall be
reduced by such amount, except as follows: In the event that the Annual Forecast
for a Drug Product is less than twice the Qualification Amount, PCYC shall not
qualify such Secondary Source site for such Drug Product, and the Primary Source
Contract Requirements shall not be so reduced.
15
16
(c) As of the Effective Date, the "Qualification Amount"
shall be deemed to be [***] full-scale Batches of the applicable Drug Product
per Calendar Year Manufactured at the Secondary Source manufacturing site. In
the event that, at any time following the Effective Date, the then-current
Qualification Amount for such Drug Product is insufficient to maintain the
qualification of a Secondary Source to Manufacture such Drug Product for
Regulatory Approval, PCYC shall give Contractor written notice thereof. Upon
Contractor's receipt of such notice, the Qualification Amount for such Drug
Product automatically shall be increased to the minimum quantity of such Drug
Product necessary to qualify such Secondary Source for Regulatory Approval, and
the Primary Source Contract Requirements shall be commensurately reduced.
(d) [***]
(e) The Secondary Source Contract Requirements for each
Drug Product may be further adjusted as set forth in Sections 3.3.3, 3.4, 3.5
and 5.3.2.
3.7.2 MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH.
(a) In the event of a Material Supply Breach, PCYC shall
provide Contractor written notification of such Material Supply Breach. Upon
Contractor's receipt of such notice and failure to cure such Material Supply
Breach within twenty (20) calendar days of such notice, the Secondary Source
Contract Requirements for such Drug Product shall be increased by an amount
equal to Contractor's shortfall in fulfilling the Purchase Orders for such Drug
Product, and the Primary Source Contract Requirements for such Drug Product
shall be commensurately reduced.
(b) In the event that Contractor reasonably anticipates
that there is a substantial likelihood that a Material Supply Breach will occur,
Contractor shall promptly notify PCYC in writing thereof. Upon receipt of such
notice, the Parties shall promptly confer to discuss the circumstances and
magnitude of such potential Material Supply Breach, and to determine in good
faith whether there are any reasonable steps that Contractor could take to avoid
such Material Supply Breach. If PCYC is not reasonably satisfied that Contractor
will be able to avoid such Material Supply Breach, then the Secondary Source
Contract Requirements for such Drug Product shall be increased by an amount
equal to Contractor's good-faith projection of its shortfall in fulfilling the
Purchase Orders for such Drug Product, and the Primary Source Contract
Requirements for such Drug Product shall be commensurately reduced.
3.8 CONTRACTOR'S FACILITY. All Manufacture of Drug Product hereunder
shall be conducted at the Facility. In the event that Contractor sells or
otherwise transfers ownership or control of the Facility to any third party or
Affiliate, such third party or Affiliate shall expressly assume Contractor's
obligations hereunder; provided, however, that any such assumption shall not
relieve Contractor of any liability for such third party's or Affiliate's
failure to perform under this Agreement. Contractor hereby expressly waives any
requirement that PCYC exhaust any right, power or remedy, or proceed against
such third party or Affiliate, for any obligation or performance hereunder prior
to proceeding directly against Contractor.

PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT.
4.1 PURCHASE PRICE.
4.1.1 Subject to the terms of this Section 4.1, PCYC shall pay
Contractor for development work as per the applicable Development Plan and for
regulatory work as per the applicable Regulatory Plan. For each Drug Product to
be used for commercial sale, PCYC shall pay Contractor the Purchase Price as
calculated in Section 4.1.2, which Purchase Price shall be deemed to be full
compensation for all work performed by Contractor relating to the Manufacture
and supply of such Drug Product hereunder, including without limitation all
Contractor Components used in such Manufacture, all inspection and testing
activities performed by Contractor and delivery of such Drug Product as set
forth in Section 5.5, unless expressly provided otherwise herein.
4.1.2 For each Drug Product Manufactured and supplied by
Contractor to PCYC hereunder, the Purchase Price shall be based on the price per
Unit set forth in the Drug Product Pricing section of the applicable Drug
Product Appendix, in accordance with the incremental pricing schedule set forth
therein.
4.1.3 Upon the first anniversary of the date of Regulatory
Approval of each Drug Product in the United States, and annually thereafter, the
Purchase Price of such Drug Product may be adjusted by written notice to PCYC to
reflect changes, as demonstrated by written records, in the costs of the
materials provided by Contractor for, or wages paid by Contractor directly
related to, the Manufacture of such Drug Product hereunder, which notice shall
set forth the amount of such increase and supporting documentation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, such adjustment shall not result in an increase
in excess of the annual percentage increase for the most recent twelve (12)
month period for which figures are available in the Price Index, Pharmaceutical
Preparations, Ethical (Prescription), Commodity Code 06-35, issued by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor.
4.2 PAYMENT. All development work shall be invoiced in accordance with

be invoiced at the Purchase Price at time of shipment for quantities actually
shipped (plus QC Samples and Contractor's GMP retains). Payments by PCYC shall
be made in U.S. dollars by check mailed to Contractor by regular first class
mail within thirty (30) days from the later of the date of shipment or PCYC's
receipt of invoice. In the event that PCYC rejects a Batch of a Drug Product
pursuant to Section 5.2, any amounts paid by PCYC for such rejected Drug Product
shall immediately, at PCYC's election, either be credited to PCYC's account or
refunded to PCYC. If payment is not promptly made by PCYC as set forth in this
Section 4.2, then:
4.2.1 After ten (10) days written notice to PCYC of such payment
deficiency, Contractor may refuse all further orders until PCYC's account is
paid in full, unless PCYC, in
17
18
good faith, disputes Contractor's claim of such payment deficiency and is
otherwise paying its invoices on a current basis; and
4.2.2 After thirty (30) days written notice to PCYC of such
payment deficiency, if PCYC has failed to cure such payment deficiency within
such thirty day period, Contractor may then terminate this Agreement, either in
its entirety or solely with respect to the Drug Product to which such payment
deficiency relates, with the effect set forth in Section 12.4 hereof, unless
PCYC, in good faith, disputes Contractor's claim of such payment deficiency and
is otherwise paying its invoices on a current basis.
All late payments may bear interest at the rate of one and one half
percent (1.5%) per month from the designated due date.
4.3 ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS.
4.3.1 Additional work created by changes in manufacturing
schedules, odd lot sizes or non-compliance by PCYC with its material obligations
hereunder, which is directly attributable to PCYC, will be billed by Contractor
to PCYC separately; provided that such work and its associated costs have been
previously approved by PCYC in writing. If PCYC does not approve such additional
work and its associated costs, and such work is directly and solely attributable
to PCYC's noncompliance with its material obligations hereunder, then PCYC shall
promptly notify Contractor in writing that PCYC does not approve such work, and
shall pay Contractor a cancellation fee in the amount set forth in the
applicable Drug Product Appendix.
4.3.2 Notwithstanding Section 4.3.1, in the event that Contractor
receives the API or other PCYC Components for the Manufacture of a Drug Product
from PCYC less than thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled date of Manufacture
of such Drug Product but sufficiently in time to permit Manufacture of such Drug
Product by such scheduled date, as reasonably determined by Contractor,
Contractor shall charge PCYC an additional fee of [***] and shall Manufacture
such Drug Product as per the original schedule. Such additional fee shall be
Contractor's sole and exclusive remedy for such late delivery of such API or
other PCYC Components.
4.4 RECORDS. Contractor shall keep accurate records in sufficient detail
to permit the determination of all invoices and fees payable, credits due and
Units of Drug Product Manufactured hereunder. Within ten (10) days following a
request by PCYC, Contractor shall permit PCYC or its designee to examine such
records during ordinary business hours for the purpose of verifying the
correctness of any such invoices, fees, credits and Units. Contractor shall
retain such records for at least three (3) years from the date of each invoice
to which such records pertain or for such longer period as may be required by
any regulatory body. Such review shall be limited to once annually or more
frequently for cause, as defined in Section 6.2.5.
4.5 ARTWORK. PCYC shall supply, at its own cost, all camera ready
artwork for labels (including art work for shipping labels) for each Drug
Product at least sixty (60) days prior to the shipping date. PCYC is responsible
for ensuring that all data and information supplied to Contractor for labeling

artwork, or otherwise on any packaging or labeling, only if required under the
FD&C Act or any comparable regulatory requirements of any agency of the United
States or any other Regulatory Authority, and in a manner approved by Contractor
in its sole, reasonable discretion.
ARTICLE 5
DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF DRUG PRODUCT.
5.1 QUALITY CONTROL SAMPLE OF DRUG PRODUCT. Prior to the shipment of any
Batch of Drug Product, Contractor shall provide PCYC with (a) a quality control
sample of such Batch as specified in the applicable Drug Product Appendix (the
"QC Sample") for the purpose of confirming that such Batch meets the Drug
Product Specifications and Packaging Specifications; (b) one copy of the
corresponding Released Executed Batch Record, together with written confirmation
that such batch record has been reviewed and approved by Contractor's quality
assurance unit; and (c) a certificate of analysis for such Batch.
5.2 ACCEPTANCE AND REJECTION OF DRUG PRODUCT.
5.2.1 PCYC may reject any Batch delivered hereunder that does not
conform with the applicable Project Plan, Master Batch Record, Contractor's
standard operating procedures, certificate of analysis, Drug Product
Specifications or Packaging Specifications (collectively, the "Specifications")
based upon PCYC's testing of the QC Sample in accordance with the Testing
Standards and Procedures. Any such notice of rejection shall be in writing and
shall indicate the reasons for such rejection. Such notice is to be delivered to
Contractor within fifteen (15) days from PCYC's receipt of the QC Sample from
the designated carrier. If no such notice of rejection is received, then PCYC
shall be deemed to have accepted such Batch at the end of such fifteen-day
period and to have waived its right to revoke acceptance, subject to Section
7.3.
5.2.2 (a) After notice of rejection is given, PCYC shall
cooperate with Contractor in determining whether rejection is necessary or
justified and deliver to Contractor a sample of the allegedly non-conforming QC
Sample for Contractor's evaluation. Contractor will evaluate process issues and
other reasons for such non-compliance. Contractor shall notify PCYC as promptly
as reasonably possible whether it accepts PCYC's basis for any rejection and
may, at Contractor's cost, inspect PCYC's or its designee's facilities to
confirm the testing results, which PCYC shall make reasonably available upon
Contractor's request.
(b) If Contractor disagrees with PCYC's determination that
a QC Sample does not meet the Specifications or that such alleged non-conformity
was caused by the acts or omissions of Contractor, such QC Sample shall be
submitted to a mutually acceptable, independent third party laboratory, or third
party consultant, if appropriate. Such third party laboratory or consultant
shall determine whether such QC Sample conforms to the Specifications. The
Parties agree that such third party laboratory's or consultant's determination
shall be final and determinative.
19
20
(i) If the third party laboratory or consultant
determines that such QC Sample meets the Specifications, or if it is otherwise
determined that the non-conformity was not caused by the acts or omissions of
Contractor, then PCYC shall be deemed to have accepted such Batch, and shall pay
for such Batch as set forth in Section 4.2.
(ii) If the third party laboratory or consultant
determines that such Drug Product does not meet the Specifications, and if it is
otherwise determined that such non-conformity was caused by the acts or
omissions of Contractor, then such Batch shall be deemed rightfully rejected,
and PCYC shall have no further obligation under this Agreement with respect to
such Batch. Any amounts paid by PCYC pursuant to Section 4.2 with respect to
such Batch and PCYC's out-of-pocket cost of the API and other PCYC Components
consumed in the Manufacture of the rejected Batch shall, at PCYC's election,
either be refunded to PCYC or credited to PCYC's account.
(iii) The Party against whom the third party
laboratory or consultant rules shall bear all costs of the third party
laboratory or consultant with respect to such testing of such Batch.
5.3 REPLACEMENT BATCHES.
5.3.1 Whether or not Contractor accepts PCYC's basis for
rejection under Section 5.2, promptly on receipt of a notice of rejection of a
Batch and receipt of API from PCYC, Contractor shall use reasonable efforts at
PCYC's written request to replace such rejected Batch, and PCYC shall purchase
such replacement Batch at the applicable Purchase Price, subject to its
acceptance of such Batch pursuant to Section 5.2. If Contractor does not accept
PCYC's basis for such rejection, then Contractor shall initially bear the
expenses of the independent third party laboratory or consultant described in
Section 5.2.2(b), subject to Section 5.2.2(b)(iii).
5.3.2 In the event that Contractor does not give PCYC written
notice, within fifteen (15) days of its receipt of PCYC's written request, that
it will be able to replace such rejected Batch within a period of time
reasonably acceptable to PCYC, the Secondary Source Contract Requirements shall
be increased by the amount of such Batch, and the Primary Contract Source
Requirements for such Drug Product for that Calendar Year shall be
commensurately reduced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is subsequently
determined pursuant to Section 5.2.2 that the rejected Batch does conform to the
applicable Specifications, then the Secondary Source Contract Requirements shall
be reduced, and the Primary Source Contract Requirements shall be increased, by
the amount of such Batch; provided that PCYC's purchase of a replacement Batch
from a Secondary Source shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement.
5.4 DESTRUCTION OF DRUG PRODUCT. Neither Party may destroy any Drug
Product alleged not to meet the Specifications until the third party laboratory
or consultant determines whether such Drug Product meets such Specifications and
provides written notification to the Parties with respect to such determination,
unless Contractor accepts PCYC's basis for such rejection. Thereafter,
Contractor shall have the obligation to destroy, or have destroyed, at its cost,
all such rejected Drug Product. Upon Contractor's written request and at
Contractor's cost,
20
21
PCYC shall return to Contractor any rejected Drug Product. The Parties agree
that in the event of destruction of Drug Product, the method of such destruction
shall be in compliance with all Federal, state and local laws, rules and
regulations.
5.5 DELIVERY OF DRUG PRODUCT. All deliveries of Drug Product and QC
Samples shall be shipped FCA (INCOTERMS 1990) the Facility to a location
designated by PCYC. All Batches shall be so shipped within fifteen (15) days of
acceptance of each Batch pursuant to Section 5.2. PCYC shall be responsible for
all freight and delivery charges, including without limitation insurance
charges, and shall assume all risk of loss of the Drug Product and QC Samples
after transfer of possession to the designated carrier.
5.6 PCYC COMPONENT NON-CONFORMITY.
5.6.1 If any Batch is rejected by PCYC, and such Batch's failure
to meet the Specifications is a result of non-conforming API or other PCYC
Component, then PCYC shall be obligated to pay the full Purchase Price for such
rejected Batch, except as set forth in Section 5.6.2. Any disputes regarding the
rejection of such Batch shall be resolved by a third party laboratory or
consultant pursuant to Section 5.2.2.
5.6.2 Where a rejected Batch's failure to meet the applicable
Specifications is a result of non-conforming API or other PCYC Components, and
such non-conformance of the API or other PCYC Components would have been
reasonably evident from the identification testing performed by Contractor
pursuant to Section 3.2.2, then PCYC shall supply Contractor with the applicable
API and other PCYC Components for such Batch, at PCYC's expense, and Contractor
shall Manufacture a replacement Batch of such Drug Product, as promptly as
reasonably possible and at Contractor's expense, and subject to PCYC's
acceptance thereof pursuant to Section 5.2. Contractor's Manufacture of such
replacement Batch pursuant to this Section 5.2.2 shall be PCYC's sole and
exclusive remedy for Contractor's failure to identify such non-conforming API or
other PCYC Component and its subsequent Manufacture of such non-conforming Drug
Product hereunder.
ARTICLE 6
QUALITY ASSURANCE; REGULATORY.
6.1 MASTER BATCH RECORD. Each Master Batch Record for each Drug Product
shall be prepared and maintained in Contractor's standard format by Contractor,
using PCYC's master formula and technical support. Each Master Batch Record
shall be subject to approval by Pharmacyclics' Chemical Operations and Quality
Assurance groups.
6.2 AUDITS.
6.2.1 PCYC shall have the right to conduct a general audit of the
Facility and of the equipment, system and processes used in the Manufacture of
the Drug Product to evaluate compliance with cGMP on a yearly basis, or more
frequently for cause as set forth in Section 6.2.5. PCYC may make
recommendations to Contractor based on such audit, and Contractor agrees to give
such recommendations good faith consideration. Contractor shall be
21
22
responsible for compliance with cGMP and shall promptly take such action as may
be necessary to bring said equipment, system, processes and Facility into
conformance therewith.
6.2.2 In the event that PCYC notifies Contractor following an
audit under this Section 6.2 that Contractor is not in compliance with cGMP, and
Contractor disagrees with such finding, then the Parties shall engage a mutually
acceptable independent expert to audit Contractor and to determine whether
Contractor is cGMP compliant. The findings of such expert shall be final and
binding upon the Parties. The Party with whom such expert disagrees shall pay
the costs of such expert.
6.2.3 Reasonable notice will be provided by PCYC to Contractor to
schedule the date of such audit. If Contractor needs to cancel such audit due to
events outside of Contractor's reasonable control (e.g., FDA inspection
unrelated to the Drug Product, act of God, etc.), Contractor will immediately
contact PCYC to re-schedule the audit.
6.2.4 If PCYC requests additional audits which are not (a) due to
Contractor's compliance status, either with respect to cGMP or with the terms of
this Agreement, or (b) as a prerequisite to receipt of Regulatory Approval, then
PCYC shall reimburse Contractor for its reasonable, documented expenses incurred
in hosting such audit including time spent in preparation and follow-up, at the
rate of [***] per hour.
6.2.5 PCYC shall also have the right to conduct such audits as
necessary for cause. For purposes of this Section 6.2.5 and Section 4.4, "for
cause" shall include without limitation the following: failure of Drug Product
to meet Drug Product Specifications or Packaging Specifications; adverse audit
or inspection observations from a Regulatory Authority; inadequate Batch
documentation; and lack of follow-up on outstanding actions items from previous
audits, where "adverse" shall mean [***]. Such "for cause" audits shall not be
unreasonably requested by PCYC, and approval therefor shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed by Contractor. PCYC's failure to exercise its right to audit
the Facility will not represent a waiver of any future exercise of this right or
of any other rights under this Agreement, nor does it represent acceptance of
any conditions past or present that might exist or result from such conditions
at the Facility.
6.3 REGULATORY MATTERS; RECORDS.
6.3.1 Contractor shall keep documentation and records in
accordance with the requirements of cGMP. Copies of all documentation and
information relating to the Manufacture, processing, packaging and shipping of
Drug Products and/or required to support PCYC's NDA (or IND, if appropriate) or
other regulatory submission, including but not limited to information relating
to Batch records, methods, equipment and the Facility, will be provided by
Contractor to PCYC for review and inclusion as necessary in its regulatory
submissions. Contractor shall maintain all records and documentation under this
Section 6.3 and any inspection samples and data for at least one (1) year past
the expiration dates of each Batch or for such longer period as may be required
by cGMP or other regulations promulgated by the Regulatory Authorities
applicable to the relevant Drug Product. Contractor shall invoice PCYC, and PCYC
shall pay Contractor, for such regulatory work as set forth in the applicable

be present at such inspection or audit. Access to the Facility may be subject to
reasonable restrictions customarily placed upon visitors to the site.
6.3.4 Contractor also agrees to notify PCYC within two (2)
business days of any written or oral inquiries, notifications, or inspection
activity by any Regulatory Authority (or any third party authorized by a
Regulatory Authority) in regard to any Drug Product. Contractor shall provide a
reasonable description to PCYC of any such inquiries, notifications or
inspections promptly (but in no event later than five (5) business days) after
such visit or inquiry. Contractor shall furnish to PCYC (a) within two (2)
business days after receipt, any report or correspondence issued by the
Regulatory Authority (or a third party authorized by a Regulatory Authority) in
connection with such visit or inquiry, including but not limited to, any FDA
Form 483 (List of Inspectional Observations) or warning letter, and (b) not
later than five (5) business days prior to the time it provides to a Regulatory

relating to items set forth above (each, a "Proposed Response"), in each case
purged only of trade secrets or other confidential or proprietary information of
Contractor that are unrelated to its obligations under this Agreement or are
unrelated to Drug Products. Contractor shall discuss with PCYC any comments
provided by PCYC on the Proposed Response and the Parties shall mutually agree
on those portions of the final written response or explanation to be provided to
the Regulatory Authority that have a material effect on any Drug Product
Manufactured hereunder. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the event
that either PCYC fails to promptly respond to the comments of Contractor in
connection with preparation of the Proposed Response or a portion of such
response is likely to have a material effect on Contractor's customers other
than PCYC, then Contractor shall have the sole right to prepare such portion of
such response, provided that Contractor shall in good faith consider PCYC's
comments relating thereto and shall use reasonable efforts to incorporate such
comments. After the filing of a response with the appropriate Regulatory
Authority, Contractor will notify PCYC of any further contacts with a Regulatory
Authority relating to
23
24
Contractor's Manufacture of Drug Products. Contractor shall respond to all
inquiries made by a Regulatory Authority relating to Contractor's Manufacture of
Drug Products hereunder in a timely manner.
6.3.5 Contractor shall promptly notify PCYC of any other
production issues or other information of which Contractor becomes aware that
affect the regulatory status of a Drug Product or the ability of Contractor to
supply a Drug Product in accordance with PCYC's forecasted requirements.
6.3.6 Contractor agrees to take reasonable steps to rectify or
resolve any deficiencies noted by a Regulatory Authority (or a third party
authorized by a Regulatory Authority) in a report or correspondence issued to
Contractor, and that are based on Contractor's performance under this Agreement.
6.3.7 Each Party shall promptly notify the other of new
regulatory requirements of which it becomes aware which are relevant to the
Manufacture of a Drug Product under this Agreement and which are required by the
FDA, other applicable Regulatory Authority or other applicable laws or
governmental regulations, and shall confer with each other with respect to the
best means to comply with such requirements.
6.4 DRUG MASTER FILE. Contractor shall file and maintain the appropriate
Drug Master File ("DMF") for its Manufacture of each Drug Product hereunder in
accordance with 21 CFR 314.420, as may be amended from time to time, at
Contractor's expense. Contractor shall provide PCYC with letters of
authorization to reference such DMF in its filings with the FDA and other
Regulatory Authorities.
6.5 STABILITY TESTING. Contractor shall be responsible for performing
stability testing of each commercial Drug Product.
6.6 CHANGES IN MANUFACTURE.
6.6.1 Contractor shall not alter any processing steps with
respect to the Manufacture of each Drug Product, as such steps are set forth in
the NDA, DMF (or IND, if appropriate), applicable Manufacturing protocols,
Master Batch Records or any other document governing such steps. Contractor may,
from time to time, suggest to PCYC changes Contractor may wish to make in the
Manufacture of a Drug Product, the location of Manufacture within the Facility,
the equipment used to Manufacture such Drug Product or the process used to
Manufacture such Drug Product. Contractor shall notify PCYC of any such
suggested changes via Contractor's change notice procedure, but shall not
implement any such changes until signature approval has been received from
PCYC's authorized quality assurance and manufacturing representatives designated
in the applicable Drug Product Appendix. PCYC shall have no obligation to accept
any such suggestions.
6.6.2 Notwithstanding Section 6.6.1, Contractor may make purely
administrative changes to a Master Batch Record, provided that Contractor
notifies PCYC in writing and delivers a copy of the revised Master Batch Record
to PCYC at least ten (10) days prior to using such Master Batch Record in
Manufacturing the applicable Drug Product.
24
25
6.6.3 In the event that the location of Manufacture within the
Facility is changed in conformance with Section 6.6.1, the costs of such change,
including without limitation the costs of any additional testing and of updating
regulatory submissions relating to the Manufacture of the Drug Products in such
new location (collectively, the "Moving Costs") shall be allocated as follows,
unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing:
(a) If such change is initiated at Contractor's written
request (for example, because such new location would be more convenient for
Contractor, or because PCYC's forecasts for a Drug Product regularly exceed
Contractor's Capacity and Contractor desires to increase the Primary Source
Contract Requirements for such Drug Product), then Contractor shall bear all
Moving Costs, provided that PCYC shall bear the costs of the API necessary for
conducting validation runs in such new location; and
(b) If such change of location is initiated at PCYC's
written request (for example, because PCYC desires that Contractor increase its
Manufacturing capacity and/or because of lower costs of Manufacture in such
location) then PCYC shall bear all Moving Costs, provided that such lower costs
are passed through to PCYC.
For clarity, neither (i) PCYC's mere approval of
Contractor's request for a change in the location of Manufacture, nor (ii)
PCYC's submissions of forecasts for a Drug Product in excess of Contractor's
Capacity for such Drug Product without an affirmative written request by PCYC
that Contractor increase its Manufacturing capacity for such Drug Product, shall
be deemed a request by PCYC that the location of Manufacture be changed.
6.6.4 (a) If facility, equipment, process, or system changes are
required of Contractor as a result of requirements set forth by a Regulatory
Authority, where (i) such requirements are not in force as of the Effective Date
("Regulatory Changes"), (ii) such Regulatory Changes do not involve normal
upgrades for cGMP purposes, and (iii) such Regulatory Changes apply solely to
the Manufacture and supply of one or more Drug Products and not to other
products manufactured by Contractor for its own use or for third parties, then
PCYC and Contractor will review such requirements and agree in writing to such
Regulatory Changes, and PCYC shall bear one hundred percent (100%) of the
reasonable, documented costs thereof, subject to subsection (c) below.
(b) If such Regulatory Changes apply to one or more Drug
Products as well as to other products manufactured by Contractor for itself or
for third parties, and such Regulatory Changes do not involve normal upgrades
for cGMP purposes, then PCYC shall pay a pro rata amount of the full, reasonable
costs of such Regulatory Changes based upon the proportion of time that such
facility is dedicated to the Manufacture of such Drug Product relative to the
Manufacture of all such other products, subject to subsection (c) below.
(c) Contractor shall have sole responsibility of
implementing such Regulatory Changes. PCYC shall bear the reasonable, documented
costs of such Regulatory Changes as set forth in subsection (a) and (b) above,
subject to PCYC's prior written approval of such costs. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section 6.6.4, if PCYC, in its sole discretion,
determines that it does not desire to pay such costs, then PCYC shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Drug Product(s) that are
the subject of such
25
26
Regulatory Changes, on ninety (90) days prior written notice, in which event
PCYC shall pay Contractor a cancellation fee equal to the applicable aggregate
Purchase Price for the Minimum Order Commitment for such Drug Product for the
Calendar Year in which the effective date of such termination occurs, less the
number of Units of such Drug Product purchased by PCYC as of the effective date
of such termination. Such payment shall be Contractor's sole and exclusive
remedy with respect to such termination.
6.6.5 (a) If Contractor is required to obtain specialized
equipment in order to Manufacture Drug Products for PCYC, the cost of such
equipment shall by paid by PCYC subject to its prior written approval of such
costs. Contractor shall advise PCYC of the specialized equipment required and
the estimated costs associated with the purchase and installation of such
equipment. If PCYC, in its sole discretion, determines that it does not desire
to pay the costs for such equipment, then PCYC shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement with respect to the Drug Product(s) for which such equipment is
required, on ninety (90) days prior written notice. PCYC shall be invoiced for
all approved costs after installation and acceptance of such equipment by
Contractor. PCYC shall make payment no later than thirty (30) days after receipt
of invoice.
(b) Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement,
Contractor at its option, shall either (i) transfer ownership of the specialized
equipment paid for by PCYC pursuant to subsection (a) above to PCYC, or (ii)
purchase such equipment by paying PCYC the then-current book value of such
equipment. If Contractor uses such specialized equipment for any purpose other
than the Manufacture of Drug Products for PCYC hereunder, then Contractor shall
promptly notify PCYC and shall purchase the equipment from PCYC by paying PCYC
the then-current book value of the equipment, provided that any depreciation of
such equipment shall be calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles.
(c) This Section 6.6.5 shall not apply to any standard
equipment normally used or required for the Manufacture of Drug Products or for
additional standard equipment required to increase production capacity or
efficiency at the Facility. Contractor represents and warrants that, to its
knowledge as of the Effective Date, no specialized equipment will be required to
Manufacture the Initial Drug Product hereunder.
6.7 EMERGENCY ACCESS. The Parties agree that in case of an emergency
affecting the quality of any Drug Product, a PCYC representative shall have
access to Contractor's project manager for the purpose of dealing with such
emergency, and shall have the right to audit the Facility for cause as set forth
in Section 6.2.5.
6.8 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.
6.8.1 Contractor shall comply with all applicable present and
future orders, regulations, requirements and laws of the United States federal,
state and local authorities and agencies, and all other Regulatory Authorities,
including without limitation all laws and regulations applicable to the
transportation, storage, use, handling and disposal of hazardous materials, in
each case to the extent that any such government has jurisdiction over
Contractor or the Manufacture, sale or use of a Drug Product. Contractor
represents and warrants to PCYC that it has and will maintain during the term of
this Agreement all government permits, including
26

IP, including decisions about the countries in which to file patent
applications. Responsibility for patents covering jointly owned IP shall be
32
33
decided by the Parties, in good faith, on a case-by-case basis. Patent costs
associated with the patent activities described in this Section shall be borne
by the sole owner or shared equally by the Parties for jointly owned IP. Each
Party will cooperate with the other Party in the filing and prosecution of
patent applications. Such cooperation will include, but not be limited to,
furnishing supporting data and affidavits for the prosecution of patent
applications and completing and signing forms needed for the prosecution,
assignment and maintenance of patent applications.
11.5 DISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The protection of each
Party's Confidential Information is described in Article 14. Any disclosure of
information by one Party to the other under the provisions of this Article 11
shall be treated as the disclosing Party's Confidential Information under this
Agreement, subject to Section 11.3.4. It shall be the responsibility of the
Party preparing a patent application to obtain the written permission of the
other Party to use or disclose the other Party's Confidential Information in the
patent application before the application is filed and for other disclosures
made during the prosecution of the patent application.
11.6 LICENSE TO PCYC UPON EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION.
11.6.1 Upon the termination of this Agreement by PCYC for
Contractor's breach hereunder pursuant to Section 12.2.2, Contractor

non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable license, with
a right to sublicense, under the Manufacturing Technology to Manufacture and
have Manufactured the Drug Product(s) that is (are) the subject of such
termination.
11.6.2 Upon the expiration of this Agreement pursuant to Section
12.1 or termination of this Agreement other than pursuant to Section 12.2.2 or
12.2.3, Contractor automatically shall be deemed to have granted to PCYC the
option to obtain a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-bearing, perpetual,
irrevocable license, with a right to sublicense, under the Manufacturing
Technology to Manufacture and have Manufactured the Drug Product(s) that is
(are) the subject of such expiration or termination. Upon Contractor's receipt
of written notice from PCYC that it is exercising such option, the Parties
promptly shall meet to negotiate in good faith the commercially reasonable terms
for such license.
ARTICLE 12
TERM AND TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT.
12.1 TERM.
12.1.1 This Agreement shall commence upon the Effective Date and,
unless terminated sooner in accordance with the terms and conditions provided
for herein, shall remain in full force and effect with respect to each Drug
Product to be Manufactured hereunder until the date which is three (3) years
from the date of Regulatory Approval of such Drug Product by the FDA (the
"Initial Term"). Thereafter, this Agreement will automatically renew with
respect to such Drug Product for successive two (2) year terms, subject to
Section 12.2 and Article 13, unless either Party provides one (1) year written
notice to the other Party prior to the expiration
33
34
of the then-current term that the Agreement shall not be renewed with respect to
such Drug Product.
12.1.2 Solely with respect to the Initial Drug Product, the
Initial Term shall expire upon (a) the date which is three (3) years from the
date of Regulatory Approval of such Drug Product by the FDA, if such approval is
received on or before December 31, 2001; or (b) the date which is two (2) years
from the date of Regulatory Approval of such Drug Product by the FDA, if such
approval is received after December 31, 2001.
12.2 TERMINATION.
12.2.1 PCYC may terminate this Agreement, in whole or with
respect to one or more Drug Products, at any time at least six (6) months prior
to Regulatory Approval in the first Regulatory Jurisdiction for such Drug
Product; provided that PCYC gives Contractor six (6) months prior written
notice. Contractor may not voluntarily terminate this Agreement until expiration
of the Initial Term specified in Section 12.1, except pursuant to Sections
12.2.2 or 12.2.3 or Article 13. PCYC shall reimburse Contractor for all
non-cancelable, out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Contractor in
performance of its obligations hereunder prior to the effective date of
termination under this Section 12.2.1.
12.2.2 Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60)
days prior written notice in the event of a material breach of this Agreement by
the other Party which is not cured by the breaching Party within such sixty (60)
day period. At the option of the non-breaching Party, such termination may be
with respect to the entire Agreement, or only with respect to the Drug Product
which is the subject of such material breach. A Material Supply Breach shall be
deemed to be a breach of a material term of this Agreement. In the event that a
Material Supply Breach occurs more than twice during any consecutive twelve (12)
month period, PCYC shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
this Section 12.2.2, either with respect to the Drug Product(s) that is the
subject of such Material Supply Breach or in its entirety, effective upon giving
Contractor written notice thereof, and without being required to provide
Contractor the cure period described in the first sentence of this Section
12.2.2.
12.2.3 This Agreement may be terminated by either Party by giving
the other Party written notice thereof in the event that such other Party makes
a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or proceedings or a case
are commenced in any court of competent jurisdiction by or against such Party
seeking (a) such Party's reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, arrangement
or winding-up, or the composition or readjustment of its debts, (b) the
appointment of a receiver or trustee for or over such Party's property or (c)
similar relief in respect of such Party under any law relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, winding-up or composition or adjustment of debt, and
such proceedings or case shall continue undismissed, or an order with respect to
the foregoing shall be entered and continue unstated, for a period of more than
thirty (30) days.
12.3 ACCRUED OBLIGATIONS. Termination of this Agreement for any reason
shall not relieve any Party of any obligations accruing prior to such
termination.
34
35
12.4 CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION.
12.4.1 Upon termination of this Agreement under Section 12.2,
except for termination for Contractor's material breach:
(a) PCYC agrees to purchase, and Contractor agrees to
sell, any Units of Drug Product Manufactured by Contractor and held by
Contractor against the requirements of a binding Purchase Order on the effective
date of termination at the price set forth in Section 4.1, and subject to PCYC's
acceptance of such Drug Product pursuant to Section 5.2.
(b) At the request of PCYC, Contractor shall fulfill any
outstanding binding Purchase Orders for Drug Product using, at Contractor's
option, materials on hand or on order by Contractor for such Purchase Order, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In such event, such Drug Product
shall be purchased by PCYC at the price set forth in Section 4.1, subject to
PCYC's acceptance of such Drug Product pursuant to Section 5.2. Alternatively,
PCYC agrees to purchase any raw materials and components which have been ordered
by Contractor pursuant to a non-cancelable order and unutilized for such
Purchase Order, at cost.
12.4.2 Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement,
Contractor shall return to PCYC all API and other PCYC Components currently in
inventory that are not being used as set forth in Section 12.4.1.
12.4.3 If this Agreement is terminated only with respect to one
or more Drug Product(s) and not in its entirety, then this Section 12.4.1 shall
apply only with respect to such Drug Product(s).
12.5 SURVIVAL. Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement, the
obligations of the Parties under Sections 4.4, 6.3.1, 6.3.3, 6.4, 6.6.5(b), 12.4
and 12.5, and Articles 7, 9, 11, 14 and 15 hereof shall survive such expiration
or termination.
ARTICLE 13
FORCE MAJEURE EVENTS.
If, by any reason of impediment such as Acts of God, war, rebellion,
tumult, riot, civil commotion, insurrection, political disturbance, strike,
lock-out, fire, flood, interruption of transportation, embargo, shortages of raw
materials, or any other cause or event of a similar nature affecting either
Party over which such Party has had no control (a "Force Majeure Event"), such
Party cannot perform its obligations hereunder, it shall have the right to
postpone the performance of such obligation for the duration of such Force
Majeure Event. The Parties shall use all reasonable efforts to avoid or overcome
the causes affecting performance, and the Party whose performance is affected by
such Force Majeure Event shall fulfill all outstanding obligations as soon as
possible. The affected Party shall give facsimile notice to the other Party of
the occurrence of such impediment and its anticipated duration and shall
subsequently notify the other Party as quickly as possible of the cessation of
said cause or event. In the event that a Force Majeure Event results in
Contractor's failure to perform under this Agreement such that, but for such
Force Majeure Event, such failure to perform would be deemed a "Material Supply
Breach," PCYC shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on one hundred
twenty (120)
35
36
days written notice, either in its entirety or solely with respect to those Drug
Products that are affected by such Force Majeure Event. This Section 13.1 shall
not apply to any payment obligation hereunder.
ARTICLE 14
CONFIDENTIALITY.
14.1 CONFIDENTIALITY AND EXCEPTIONS. Except as set forth below, all
information disclosed by one Party (the "Disclosing Party") to the other Party
(the "Receiving Party") pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be the
Disclosing Party's "Confidential Information." Confidential Information shall
include, but not be limited to, information relating to the structure of an API,
any know-how relating to the Manufacture of any Drug Product, the Manufacturing
Documents and the Manufacturing cost and other financial arrangements made
pursuant to this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it will take the same steps
to protect the confidentiality of the other Party's Confidential Information as
it takes to protect its own proprietary and confidential information, which
shall in no event be less than reasonable steps. Each Party, and its employees
and agents shall protect and keep confidential and shall not use, publish or
otherwise disclose to any third party, except as permitted by this Agreement, or
with the other Party's written consent, the other Party's Confidential
Information. For the purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall
not include such information that:
14.1.1 was already known to the Receiving Party at the time of
disclosure by the other Disclosing Party; other than under an obligation of
confidentiality; or
14.1.2 was generally available to the public or was otherwise
part of the public domain at the time of disclosure or became generally
available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after disclosure
other than through any act or omission of the Receiving Party in breach of this
Agreement; or
14.1.3 was lawfully disclosed to the Receiving Party, other than
under an obligation of confidentiality, by a third party who had no obligation
not to disclose such information to others; or
14.1.4 was independently developed by or for the Receiving Party
without the aid, application or use of the other Party's Confidential
Information by persons who did not have access to such Confidential Information;
or
14.1.5 was disclosed to a third party by the Disclosing Party
without an obligation of confidentiality.
14.2 AUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE.
14.2.1 Each Party may disclose Confidential Information hereunder
to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary for prosecuting or
defending litigation, complying with applicable government regulations or
conducting preclinical or clinical trials, provided that if a Party is required
by law or regulation to make any such disclosure of the other Party's
Confidential Information it will, except where impracticable for necessary
disclosures, for
36
37
example in the event of medical emergency, give reasonable advance notice to the
other Party of such disclosure requirement and will use its best efforts assist
such other Party to secure a protective order or confidential treatment of such
Confidential Information required to be disclosed.
14.2.2 Neither Party shall disclose Confidential Information of
the other Party in any patent filings without the prior written consent of the
disclosing Party.
14.3 CONFIDENTIALITY AND PUBLICITY. The Parties agree that, except as
may otherwise be required by applicable laws, regulations, rules, or orders,
including without limitation the rules and regulations promulgated by the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission, and except as may be authorized in
Section 14.2, no information concerning this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated herein shall be made public by either Party without the prior
written consent of the other. The Parties agree that the public announcement of
the execution of this Agreement shall be by one or more press releases mutually
agreed to by the Parties. A failure of a Party to return a draft of a press
release with its proposed amendments or modifications to such press release to
the other Party within two (2) days of such Party's receipt of such press
release shall be deemed as such Party's approval of such press release as
received by such Party. Each Party agrees that it shall cooperate fully and in a
timely manner with the other with respect to all disclosures to the Securities
and Exchange Commission and any other governmental and regulatory agencies,
including requests for confidential treatment of Confidential Information of
either Party included in any such disclosure.
14.4 SURVIVAL OF CONFIDENTIALITY. All obligations of confidentiality and
non-use imposed upon the Parties under this Agreement shall continue
indefinitely until such time as the information that is subject to such
obligations no longer comprises Confidential Information under one of the
exceptions set forth in Section 14.1.1 through Section 14.1.5.

foregoing limitation of liability shall not apply with respect to third party
claims. Any claim by either Party for breach or default under this Agreement,
other than third party claims, shall be brought within two (2) years after the
cause of action accrued or shall be deemed waived, subject to any applicable
tolling laws or provisions.
15.3 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Nothing herein shall create any
association, partnership, joint venture or the relation of principal and agent
between the Parties hereto, it being understood that Contractor is Manufacturing
Drug Product as an independent contractor, and neither Party shall have the
authority to bind the other or the others' representatives in any way. Nothing
in this Agreement shall constitute Contractor as an employee, agent, or general
representative of PCYC.
38
39
15.4 AMENDMENTS. No provision of this Agreement or of the Project Plans,
Regulatory Plans or Drug Product Appendices attached hereto may be modified or
supplemented except by an instrument in writing signed by Contractor and PCYC.
15.5 WAIVER. No failure on the part of either Party to exercise and no
delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power
or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this
Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege.
15.6 HEADINGS. The section headings appearing herein are included solely
for convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation
of any provision of this Agreement.
15.7 ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns;
provided, however, that neither Party shall assign any of its rights and
obligations hereunder except (a) as incident to the merger, consolidation,
reorganization, or acquisition of stock or assets affecting substantially all of
the assets or actual voting control of the assigning Party or the business unit
to which this Agreement substantially relates; (b) to an Affiliate owned by the
assigning Party or its parent company, or (c) with the prior written consent of
the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Any assignment
not in conformance with this Section shall be null, void and of no legal effect.
15.8 COMPLETE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, together with the Purchase
Plans, Development Plans, Project Plans, Regulatory Plans, and Drug Product
Appendices hereto, which are hereby incorporated into and shall form part of
this Agreement, represents the complete Agreement between the Parties hereto as
to all matters covered hereby or thereby, and supersedes any prior agreements or
understanding (oral or written) between the Parties regarding the subject matter
hereof.
15.9 SEVERABILITY. If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement
shall be deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired, and
such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make such
provision consistent with applicable law, and in its modified form such
provision shall be enforceable and enforced.
15.10 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, as such laws apply to
contracts entered into by and between residents of, and to be performed entirely
