beginning of the applicable period, less the inventory of API that complies with the Specifications held at the end of the period. The Quantity Dispensed will only include API received and dispensed in commercial manufacturing of Products and, for certainty, will not include any (i) API that must be retained by Patheon as samples, (ii) API contained in Product that must be retained as samples, (iii) API used in testing (if applicable), and (iv) API 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 API contained in the Products manufactured with the Quantity Dispensed (including any additional Products produced in accordance with Section 6.1 or 6.2), 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 60 days after the end of each Year, Patheon will prepare an annual reconciliation of API on the reconciliation report form set forth in Schedule I 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 |
After Patheon has produced a minimum of [*] commercial production batches of Product and has produced commercial production batches for at least [*] months at the Manufacturing Site, the average yield based on the immediate prior three months of production will be the initial “Target Yield” [(Quanity Converted during the immediate prior three months/Quantity Dispensed during the immediate prior three months) * 100%]. Thereafter the Target Yield will be recalculated every 12 months as the average of the actual yields of the immediate prior three months. The Target Yield will be applicable as of the date calculated. |
(b) | Shortfall Calculation. If the Actual Annual Yield (“AAY”) falls more than [*] percent below the respective Target Yield in a Year, then the shortfall for the Year (the “Shortfall”) will be calculated as follows: |
Shortfall = [(Target Yield – [*] * API Credit Value * Quantity Dispensed |
(c) | Credit for Shortfall. If there is a Shortfall for a Product in a Year, then Patheon will credit PGx’s account for the amount of the Shortfall not later than 60 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 Schedule I. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, any remaining credit owing under this Section 2.2 will be paid to PGx. The Annual Shortfall, if any, will be disclosed by Patheon on the reconciliation report.form. |
(d) | Maximum Liability for API. Patheon’s liability for API calculated in accordance with this Section 2.2 for any Product in a Year will not exceed, in the aggregate, [*]. |

(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. |
2.3 API Receipt and Storage.
Prior to performing Manufacturing Services Patheon shall receive API and store API on behalf
of PGx in compliance with the cGMPs and this Agreement. Within [*] days of receipt of
API, Patheon shall verify the quantity, and identity of all API received and review the
documentation related to the API and shall notify PGx of any discrepancies. Patheon shall store the
API under the appropriate conditions per the applicable cGMPs and this Agreement and shall keep
such API segregated from other materials within its control so as to maintain the integrity of the
API. Except as approved by PGx in writing, Patheon shall ensure the API is not used or tested by
any party not under its direct supervision and controls and shall only be used by it to provide the
Manufacturing Services.

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 for the amount of the underpayment within [*] days of the end of the Year or the termination of the Agreement, as applicable. 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 30 days, the matter will be handled under Section 12.1. |
For all Price adjustments under this Section 4.2, Patheon will deliver to PGx on or about
November 1st of each Year a revised Schedule B to be approved in writing by PGx before
becoming effective for the next Year.
4.3 Price Adjustments — Current Year Pricing.
During any Year of this Agreement, the Prices set out in Schedule B will be adjusted by the
parties 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, upon written approval from PGx, to an adjustment
to the Price for any affected Product to compensate Patheon 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.

CONFIDENTIAL
For a Price adjustment under this Section 4.3, Patheon will deliver to PGx a revised
Schedule B and budgetary pricing information, adjusted Component costs or other documents
reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that a Price adjustment is justified, in order to
support PGx approval. Patheon will have no obligation to deliver any supporting documents
that are subject to industry standard 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 PGx’s written approval of the revised Schedule B.
4.4 Cost Improvement Program.
Patheon and PGx agree to work together to develop cost reduction initiatives as part of an
overall cost improvement program, provided such program does not involve additional capital or
extraordinary costs unless otherwise agreed to by parties in writing. All net cost savings (net of
implementation costs) realized from the cost improvement program will be [*]. A “cost
reduction initiative” for the purpose of this Agreement will be an initiative that reduces the
internal or out-of-pocket costs incurred by a party in connection with the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement. It is further agreed by the parties that on-going method
improvements developed or adopted by either PGx or Patheon independently of the other party(ies),
will not be a cost reduction initiative under this section, and there will be no obligation on such
party to share the net cost savings realized from such improvement with the other party(ies) to
this Agreement.
4.5 Adjustments Due to Technical Changes.
Amendments to the Specifications or the Quality Agreement requested by PGx will only be
implemented following a technical and cost review by Patheon and are subject to PGx and Patheon
reaching agreement on Price changes required because of the amendment. Amendments to the
Specifications or the Quality Agreement requested by Patheon will only be implemented following the
written approval of PGx. If PGx accepts a proposed Price change, the proposed change in the
Specifications will be implemented, and the Price change will become effective, only for those
orders of Products that are manufactured under the revised Specifications. In addition, PGx 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 PGx.
4.6 Multi-Country Packaging Requirements.
If PGx decides to have Patheon perform Manufacturing Services for the Product for countries
outside the Territory, then PGx will inform Patheon of the packaging requirements for each new
country and Patheon will prepare a quotation for consideration by PGx of any additional Component
costs and the change over fees for the Product destined for each new country. The agreed
additional packaging requirements and related packaging costs and change over fees will be set out
in a written amendment to this Agreement.

5.1 Orders and Forecasts.
(a) | Rolling 18 Month Forecast. When this Agreement is executed, PGx will give Patheon a non-binding 18 month forecast of the volume of Product that PGx expects to order in the first 18 months of commercial manufacture of the Product. For clarity, commercial manufacture excludes the manufacture of Product validation batches. This forecast will then be updated by PGx on or before the 10th day of each month on a rolling forward basis. PGx 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 18 month forecast will prevail. |
(b) | Firm Orders for Initial Manufacturing Month. At least three months before the start of commercial manufacture of the Product, PGx will update the rolling forecast for the first three months of manufacture of the Product (the “Initial Manufacturing Period”). The first month of this updated forecast (“Initial Manufacturing Month”) will constitute a firm written order in the form of a purchase order or otherwise (“First Firm Order”) by PGx to purchase and, when accepted by Patheon pursuant to 5.1(d), for Patheon to manufacture the quantity of the Product. PGx may cancel any Batches from the First Firm Order at no cost if notice of cancellation is received by Patheon [*] days or more before the scheduled Delivery Date under the First Firm Order. [*] If the First Firm Order is changed or adjusted as described above then the initial rolling 18 month forecast will also be adjusted as necessary. |
Firm Orders Thereafter. Before and through the Initial Manufacturing Month, and on a rolling basis during the term of this Agreement, and on or before the 10th day of each month, PGx will issue an updated 18 month forecast. The applicable portions of the forecast shall only become binding upon PGx’s delivery to Patheon of purchase orders which shall be issued by PGx no less than (i) 110 days prior to the Delivery Date for bottles and (ii) 90 days prior to the Delivery Date for bulk packaging (“Firm Order(s)”). Patheon shall acknowledge Firm Orders pursuant to Section 5.1(d). [*] Firm Orders submitted to Patheon will specify PGx’s Manufacturing Services 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. Additionally, within 60 days of the scheduled Delivery Date, Subject to the availability of Components and API, PGx may increase the quantity of any and all products ordered by up to [*]% over the original order and may change the Product mix of the order and Patheon will make commercially reasonable efforts to fulfil such increase or change in Product mix. |
(c) | Three Year Forecast. On or before the 10th day of June of each Year, PGx will give Patheon a written non-binding three-year forecast, broken down by quarters for the second and third years of the forecast, of the volume of each Product PGx then anticipates will be required to be manufactured and delivered to PGx during the three-year period. |
(d) | Acknowledgement of Firm Order. Patheon shall acknowledge Firm Orders by sending an acknowledgement to PGx within [*] Business Days of its receipt of the Firm Order. The acknowledgement will include, subject to confirmation from PGx, the Delivery Date for the |

5.2 Reliance by Patheon.
(a) PGx understands and acknowledges that Patheon will rely on the Firm Orders and rolling
forecasts submitted under Sections 5.1(a), (b), and (c) in ordering the Components required to meet
the Firm Orders. In addition, PGx 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 PGx.
Accordingly, PGx authorizes Patheon to purchase Components to satisfy the Manufacturing Services
requirements for Products for the first six months contemplated in the most recent forecast given
by PGx 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. PGx will give
Patheon written authorization to order Components for any launch quantities of Product requested by
PGx 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 PGx within six 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
PGx 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 PGx or in third party products manufactured by Patheon, PGx will
receive credit for any costs of those Components previously paid to Patheon by PGx.
(b) If PGx fails to take possession or arrange for the destruction of Components within 12
months of purchase or, in the case of finished Product, within three months of manufacture, PGx
will pay Patheon [*] 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 [*]. Storage fees are subject to a [*] minimum charge per month.
Patheon may ship finished Product held by it longer than 3 months to the PGx at PGx’s expense on 14
days written notice to the PGx.
5.3 Minimum Orders.
PGx may only order Manufacturing Services for batches of Products in multiples of the Minimum
Run Quantities as set out in Schedule B.
5.4 Shipments.
Shipments of Products will be made FCA Manufacturing Site (INCOTERMS 2000) unless otherwise
mutually agreed. 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 the shipping point at which time risk
of loss or damage will transfer to PGx. Patheon will, in accordance with PGx’s instructions and as
agent for PGx, (i) arrange for shipping to be paid by PGx and (ii) at PGx’s risk and expense,
obtain any export licence or other official authorization necessary to export the Products. PGx
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 On Time Delivery.

(b) | If, after the Initial Manufacturing Period, Patheon is unable to deliver the quantity of Product ordered under a Firm Order on the Delivery Date not due to an act or omission by PGx nor a Force Majeure (a “Late Delivery”), PGx will receive a credit from Patheon for the Late Delivery that will be applied against the any amounts due by PGx to Patheon. The credit will be [*]% of the Price of the quantities of Product not delivered by Patheon under the Firm Order on the Delivery Date [*]. In addition, if [*] or more Late Deliveries occur in any [*] month period, [*] |
(c) | A Late Delivery will not be a material breach of this Agreement by Patheon for the purposes of Section 8.2. |
(d) | Any Late Delivery that has not occurred by the date that is [*] days after the Delivery Date may have its Firm Order cancelled by PGx, in its sole discretion with no fees or penalties owed by PGx. |
(e) | 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 PGx, receipt of non-conforming API or Components supplied by PGx, 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 PGx to
Patheon in writing from time to time. Invoices will be sent when the Product is manufactured and
released by Patheon to PGx. Patheon will also submit to PGx, with each shipment of Products, a
duplicate copy of the invoice covering the shipment. Patheon will also give PGx an invoice
covering any Inventory or Components which are to be purchased by PGx under Section 5.2 of this
Agreement. Each invoice will, to the extent applicable, identify PGx’s Manufacturing Services
purchase order number, Product numbers, names and quantities, unit price, freight charges, and the
total amount to be paid by PGx. Subject to section 6.1(a) herein, PGx will pay all undisputed
invoices within 30 days of receipt thereof.

PRODUCT CLAIMS AND RECALLS
6.1 Product Claims.
(a) Product Claims. PGx 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. PGx will inspect the Products manufactured by Patheon and review the
documentation as set forth in Section 2.1b 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 30 days after PGx’s receipt thereof (or, in the case of any defects not
reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, within 30 days after discovery by
PGx, but not after the expiration date of the Product). Should PGx fail to give Patheon the
Deficiency Notice within the applicable 30 day period, then the delivery will be deemed to have
been accepted by PGx on the 30th 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 30 day period. Payment for any Product that is the subject of

a Deficiency Notice shall not be owed by PGx until the determination of deficiency has been
made under Section 6.1(b) hereof.
(b) Determination of Deficiency. Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Patheon will
have [*] days to advise PGx by notice in writing that it disagrees with the contents of
the Deficiency Notice. If PGx and Patheon fail to agree within [*] days after Patheon’s
notice to PGx 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 or quality assurance consultant, as applicable, 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, PGx 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 PGx 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 PGx, but
not after the expiration date of the Product) and PGx 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 under the same procedure identified in Section 6.1(b) for determinations of
deficiency.

6.2 Product Recalls and Returns.
(a) Records and Notice. Patheon and PGx will each maintain records necessary to
permit a Recall of any Products delivered to PGx or customers of PGx. 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 PGx.
“Recall” will mean any action (i) by PGx 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) PGx
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 PGx,
having regard to all applicable laws and regulations.
(c) Product Returns. PGx will have the responsibility for handling customer returns
of the Products. Patheon will give PGx any assistance that PGx may reasonably require to handle
the returns.
6.3 Patheon’s Responsibility for Defective and Recalled Products.
(a) Defective Product. If PGx 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, and Applicable Laws, Patheon will credit PGx’s
account for Patheon’s invoice price for the defective Products. If PGx previously paid for the
defective Products, Patheon will promptly, at PGx’s election, either: (i) refund the invoice price
for the defective Products; (ii) offset the amount paid against other amounts due to Patheon
hereunder; or (iii) replace the Products with conforming Products without PGx being liable for
payment therefor under Section 3.1, contingent upon the receipt from PGx of all API required for
the manufacture of the replacement Products. For greater certainty, Patheon’s responsibility for
any loss of API in defective Product will be captured and calculated in the API Yield under Section
2.2.
- 16 -
CONFIDENTIAL
(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, and
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 PGx of all API required for
the manufacture of the replacement Products. For greater certainty, Patheon’s responsibility for
any loss of API in Recalled Product will be captured and calculated in the API 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 API), then PGx may request Patheon to
reimburse PGx for the price that PGx paid to Patheon for Manufacturing Services for the affected
Products. In all other circumstances, Recalls, returns, or other corrective actions will be made
at PGx’s cost and expense.
(c) Except as set forth in Sections 6.3(a) and (b) above, Patheon will not be liable to PGx
nor have any responsibility to PGx 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 and qualification procedure set forth in the Quality Agreement
and Specifications, (iii) results from a defect in the API or Components supplied by PGx that is
not reasonably discoverable by Patheon using the test methods when implemented in accordance with
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 PGx of its obligations under
this Agreement.
6.4 Disposition of Defective or Recalled Products.
PGx 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 PGx 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, PGx 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.
PGx will have the sole responsibility for responding to questions and complaints from its
customers. Questions or complaints received by Patheon from PGx’s customers, healthcare providers
or patients will be promptly referred to PGx. Patheon will co-operate as reasonably required to
allow PGx 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 PGx all
mutually agreed upon information that will enable PGx to respond properly to questions or
complaints about the Products as set forth in the Quality Agreement. Unless it is determined that
the cause of the complaint resulted from a failure by Patheon to perform the Manufacturing Services
in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws, all costs incurred under this
Section 6.5 will be borne by PGx.

6.6 Sole Remedy.
Except as otherwise set forth herein including indemnity set forth in Section 10.3 and subject
to the limitations set forth in Sections 10.1 and 10.2, the remedies described in this Article 6
will be PGx’s sole remedy for any failure by Patheon to provide the Manufacturing Services in
accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws.

7.2 Governmental Agencies.
Subject to Section 7.8 and the Confidentiality Agreement, each party may communicate with any
governmental agency, including but not limited to governmental agencies responsible for granting
regulatory approval for the Products, regarding the Products if, in the opinion of that party’s
counsel, the communication is necessary to comply with the terms of this Agreement or the
requirements of any law, governmental order or regulation. Unless, in the reasonable opinion of
its counsel, there is a legal prohibition against doing so, a party will permit the other party to
accompany and take part in any communications with the agency, and to receive copies of all Product
communications to and from the agency related to this Agreement.
7.3 Records and Accounting by Patheon.
Patheon will keep records of the manufacture, testing, and shipping of the Products, and
retain samples of the Products as are necessary to comply with manufacturing regulatory
requirements applicable to Patheon, as well as to assist with resolving Product complaints and
other similar investigations. Copies of the records and samples will be retained for a period of
one year following the date of Product expiry, or longer if required by law, at which time PGx will

applicable to PGx.
7.4 Inspection.
PGx may inspect Patheon reports and records relating to this Agreement during normal business
hours and with reasonable advance notice, but a Patheon representative must be present during the
inspection.
7.5 Access.
Patheon will give PGx, and its agents or representatives, reasonable access at mutually
agreeable times to the areas of the Manufacturing Site in which the Products are manufactured,
stored, handled, or shipped to permit PGx to verify that the Manufacturing Services are being
performed in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, Quality Agreement and Applicable Laws;
provided, however, that any such agents or representatives must (i) be bound in writing to
obligations of confidentiality to PGx consistent with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement
(which writing shall be provided to Patheon upon request) and (ii) not be an employee, agent, or
contractor of any business that is a competitor of Patheon (“competitor” herein meaning any
business that derives the majority of its revenues from the provision of pharmaceutical
manufacturing services). But, with the exception of “for-cause” audits, PGx will be limited each
Year to one cGMP-type audit, lasting no more than two days, and involving no more than four
auditors. [*] The right of access set forth in this Section 7.5 will not include a
right to access or inspect Patheon’s financial records.
7.6 Notification of Regulatory Inspections.
Patheon will notify PGx within one Business Day of Patheon’s knowledge of any inspections,
whether scheduled or initiated, by any governmental agency specifically involving the Products.
Patheon will also promptly disclose to PGx any form 483’s, Establishment Inspection Reports or
warning letters or any other significant regulatory action which Patheon’s quality assurance group
determines could impact the regulatory status of the Products, such disclosure to be subject to the
Confidentiality Agreement.
7.7 Reports.
Patheon will supply on an annual basis all Product data in its control, including release test
results, complaint test results, and all investigations (in manufacturing, testing, and storage),
that PGx reasonably requires in order to complete any filing under any applicable regulatory
regime, including any Annual Report that PGx is required to file with the FDA. At PGx’s request,
Patheon will provide a copy of the Annual Product Review Report to the PGx at no additional cost.

time of submission.
(d) Deficiencies. If, in Patheon’s sole discretion, acting reasonably, Patheon
determines that any of the information given by PGx under clauses (b) and (c) above is inaccurate
or deficient in any manner whatsoever (the “CMC Deficiencies”), Patheon will notify PGx in writing
of the CMC Deficiencies. The parties will work together to have the CMC Deficiencies resolved
prior to any pre-approval inspection In the event the parties cannot resolve their differences on
the CMC Deficiencies, PGx shall make such regulatory filings at its own discretion and own risk as
to the matters of difference between Patheon and PGx.
(e) PGx Responsibility. For clarity, the parties agree that in reviewing the
documents referred to in clause (b) above, Patheon’s role will be limited to verifying the accuracy
of the description of the work undertaken or to be undertaken by Patheon. Subject to the
foregoing, Patheon will not assume any responsibility for the accuracy of any application for
receipt of an approval by a regulatory authority. The PGx is solely responsibility for the
preparation and filing of the application for approval by the regulatory authorities and any
relevant costs will be borne by the PGx.
(f) Inspection by Regulatory Authorities. If PGx does not give Patheon the documents
requested under clause (b) above within the time specified and if Patheon reasonably believes that
Patheon’s standing with a regulatory authority may be jeopardized, Patheon may, in its sole
discretion, delay or postpone any inspection by the regulatory authority until Patheon has reviewed
the requested documents and is satisfied with their contents.

(a) Either party at its sole option may terminate this Agreement upon written notice where the
other party has failed to remedy a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, or
other obligations under this 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 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.

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 is
assigned by the other party for the benefit of creditors.
(c) PGx may terminate this Agreement as to any Product upon 30 days’ prior written notice if
any Authority takes any action, or raises any objection, that prevents PGx from importing,
exporting, purchasing, or selling the Product. But if this occurs, PGx will still fulfill all of
its obligations under Section 8.4 below.
(d) Patheon may terminate this Agreement upon twelve months’ prior written notice if PGx
assigns under Section 13.6 any of its rights under this Agreement to an assignee that is a
competitor of Patheon, meaning that such legal entity derives 50% or more of its revenues from
pharmaceutical contract manufacturing services.

PGx will give at least three months’ advance notice if it intends to no longer order
Manufacturing Services for a Product due to this Product’s discontinuance in the market.

[*] Patheon will invoice PGx for the storage charges as set forth in Section 5.6 of this Agreement. |
Any termination or expiration of this Agreement will not affect any outstanding obligations or
payments due hereunder prior to the termination or expiration, nor will it prejudice any other
remedies that the parties may have under this Agreement. For greater certainty, termination of
this Agreement for any reason will not affect the obligations and responsibilities of the parties
under Articles 10 and 11 and Sections 5.4, 5.6, 8.4, 9.2, 9.3, 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, 13.15, and 13.16,

consequential nature, regardless of any notice of the possibility of these damages.

harmless against any and all losses, damages, costs, claims, demands, judgments and liability to,
from and in favour of third parties (other than Affiliates) resulting from any claim of personal

Site, or (c) any breach by Patheon of this Agreement or the Quality Agreement, or any failure by
Patheon to perform the Manufacturing Services in accordance with this Agreement, the Quality

act(s) of PGx, its officers, employees, agents, or Affiliates.

defense of the claim; and (d) at, PGx’s option, permit Patheon to control the defense and
settlement of the claim, all at Patheon’s cost and expense; provided, however, that Patheon shall
not settle any claim under which PGx is deemed to be at fault without PGx’s prior written consent.
10.4 PGx.
PGx agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Patheon, its officers, employees, and agents
harmless against any and all losses, damages, costs, claims, demands, judgments and liability to,
from and in favour of third parties (other than Affiliates) resulting from 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 PGx, 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 or due to Patheon’s breach of this Agreement or the Quality
Agreement.
If a claim occurs, Patheon will: (a) promptly notify PGx of the claim; (b) use commercially

defense of the claim; and (d) permit PGx to control the defense and settlement of the claim, all at
PGx’s cost and expense.
10.5 Reasonable Allocation of Risk.
This Agreement (including, without limitation, this Article 10) is reasonable and creates a
reasonable allocation of risk for the relative profits the parties each expect to derive from the
Products. Patheon assumes only a limited degree of risk arising from the manufacture,
distribution, and use of the Products because PGx has developed and holds the marketing approval
for the Products, PGx requires Patheon to manufacture and label the Products strictly in accordance
with the Specifications, and PGx, not Patheon, is best positioned to inform and advise potential
users about the circumstances and manner of use of the Products.
ARTICLE 11
CONFIDENTIALITY
11.1 Confidentiality.
The Confidentiality Agreement will apply to all confidential information disclosed by the
parties under this Agreement. If the Confidentiality Agreement expires or is terminated prior to
the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement will
continue to govern the parties’ obligations of confidentiality for any confidential or proprietary
information disclosed by the parties hereunder, for the term of this Agreement, as though the
Confidentiality Agreement remained in full force and effect.
ARTICLE 12
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
12.1 Commercial Disputes.
If any dispute arises out of this 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
ten Business Days
- 25 -
CONFIDENTIAL
from receipt of the notice of dispute, a single representative having full power and authority
to solve the dispute. The representatives will meet as necessary in order to resolve the dispute.
If the representatives fail to resolve the matter within one month from their appointment, or if a
party fails to appoint a representative within the ten Business Day period set forth above, the
dispute will immediately be referred to the Chief Operating Officer or Chief Commercial 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 practicable
and in any event no later than ten 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 30
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 Schedule E. 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
Schedule E) 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 Inventions.
(a) For the term of this Agreement, PGx hereby grants to Patheon a non-exclusive, paid-up,
royalty-free, non-transferable license of PGx’s Intellectual Property which Patheon must use in
order to perform the Manufacturing Services.
(b) All Intellectual Property generated or derived by Patheon while performing the

maintenance of patents and patent applications on its own Inventions.

Inventions which can reasonably be deemed to constitute improvements or other modifications of the
Products or processes or technology owned or otherwise controlled by the party.
13.2 Intellectual Property.
Subject to Section 13.1, all PGx Intellectual Property will be owned by PGx and all Patheon
Intellectual Property will be owned by Patheon. Neither party has, nor will it acquire, any

writing. 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.
13.3 Insurance.
Each party will at its sole cost and expense 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. This insurance will have policy limits of not less
than [*] for each occurrence for bodily injury or property damage liability and
[*] in the aggregate per annum. Each party shall also maintain Products and Completed
Operations Liability insurance, either included within the General Liability policy or a separate
policy, with limits of not less than [*] for each occurrence for bodily injury or
property damage and [*] in the aggregate per annum. If any insurance required herein is
written on a claims-made basis, such insurance shall be required to be maintained for a period of
at least [*] years following its termination. Upon written request, each party will give
the other a certificate of insurance evidencing the above required policies and showing the name of
the issuing company, the policy number, the effective date, the expiration date, and the limits of
liability. All such insurance shall be placed with an insurer(s) having an A.M. Best rating of at
least A-, VIII. The insured Party will endeavour to further provide for a minimum of 30 days’
written notice to the insured of a cancellation of the insurance. If a party is unable to maintain
the insurance policies required under this Agreement, then the party will notify the other party in
writing within 60 days of such inability, and the parties will in good faith negotiate appropriate
amendments to the insurance provision of this Agreement or alternative risk financing in order to
provide adequate assurances.
13.4 Independent Contractors.
The parties are independent contractors and this Agreement will not be construed to create
between Patheon and PGx 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.

Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of the provision or any other provision of this Agreement.
13.6 Assignment.
(a) | Patheon may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of PGx, this consent not to be unreasonably withheld. But Patheon may arrange for subcontractors to perform specific testing services arising under this Agreement in accordance with the Quality Agreement. | ||
(b) | Subject to Section 8.2(d), PGx may assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without approval from Patheon. PGx will give Patheon prior written notice of any assignment and any assignee will covenant in writing with Patheon to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Any partial assignment will be subject to Patheon’s cost review of the assigned Products and Patheon may terminate this Agreement or any assigned part thereof, on 12 months’ prior written notice to PGx 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 to any of its Affiliates or to a successor to (by merger, stock sale, or other similar transaction) or purchaser of all or substantially all of its business to which this Agreement relates, but the assignee must execute an agreement with the non-assigning party whereby it agrees to be bound hereunder. Patheon shall ensure that any successor to Patheon’s manufacturing capabilities shall agree in writing to supply Product to PGx under the terms of this Agreement and otherwise to perform Patheon’s obligations under this Agreement. |
13.7 Force Majeure.
Neither party will be liable for the failure to perform its obligations under this 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

“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 delayed payment) which would otherwise be due and payable under
this Agreement.
13.8 Additional Product.
Additional products may be added to this Agreement and the additional products will be
governed by the general conditions hereof with any special terms (including, without limitation,
price) governed by amendments to Schedules A, B, and C as applicable.

SCHEDULE E
TECHNICAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Technical Disputes which cannot be resolved by negotiation as provided in Section 12.2 will be resolved in the following manner:
1. Appointment of Expert. Within ten Business Days after a party requests under Section 12.2 that an expert be appointed to
resolve a Technical Dispute, the parties will jointly appoint a mutually acceptable expert with experience and expertise in the subject
matter of the dispute. If the parties are unable to so agree within the ten Business Day period, or in the event of disclosure of a conflict
by an expert under Paragraph 2 hereof which results in the parties not confirming the appointment of the expert, then an expert (willing to act
in that capacity hereunder) will be appointed by an experienced arbitrator on the roster of the American Arbitration Association.
2. Conflicts of Interest. Any person appointed as an expert will be entitled to act and continue to act as an expert even if at
the time of his appointment or at any time before he gives his determination, he has or may have some interest or duty which conflicts
or may conflict with his appointment if before accepting the appointment (or as soon as practicable after he becomes aware of the conflict
or potential conflict) he fully discloses the interest or duty and the parties will, after the disclosure, have confirmed his appointment.
3. Not Arbitrator. No expert will be deemed to be an arbitrator and the provisions of the American Arbitration Act or of any other
applicable statute (foreign or domestic) and the law relating to arbitration will not apply to the expert or the expert’s determination or
the procedure by which the expert reaches his determination under this Schedule E.
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 15 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 five 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 existing expert will thereupon cease for the purposes of determining the matter at issue |
- 2 -
CONFIDENTIAL
between the parties save this if the existing expert renders his decision with full reasons prior to the appointment of the new expert, then this decision will have effect and the proposed appointment of the new expert will be withdrawn. | |||
(e) | Final and Binding. The determination of the expert will, except for fraud or manifest error, be final and binding upon the parties. | ||
(f) | Costs. Each party will bear its own costs for any matter referred to an expert hereunder and, in the absence of express provision in the Agreement to the contrary, the costs and expenses of the expert will be shared equally by the parties. |
For greater certainty, 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
this Schedule E) 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.
