The initial Forecast Schedule is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

2.3.2 Binding Commitment. The first [*****] months of each Forecast Schedule provided by Company shall be a binding commitment on Company to purchase from SUPPLIER, and, so long as such quantities are within the then-current Manufacturing Capacity, a binding commitment on SUPPLIER to sell to Company, the specified volume of Clinical Products set forth therein (each, a “Firm Order”). For the avoidance of doubt, any months of a Forecast Schedule beyond the Firm Order period shall be non-binding.

2.4 Purchase Orders

2.4.1 All Clinical Product shall be supplied pursuant to purchase orders (each, a “Purchase Order”) submitted by Company to SUPPLIER. Each Purchase Order shall be consistent with the corresponding Firm Order and shall contain such Purchase Order number, quantities, order schedule, delivery locations, carrier information and other information reasonably necessary to permit correct delivery of Clinical Products for shipment, including such information and in a format as may be reasonably requested by SUPPLIER.

3.1.1 Subject to Section 3.1.2, for each calendar quarter during the Term, Company shall pay SUPPLIER in consideration for the Manufacture and supply of Clinical Products (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include Company’s right to occupy the Licensed Space pursuant to the License to Occupy) a fee of [*****] for such quarter (the “Quarterly Fee”). For purposes of this Agreement, references to “calendar quarters” in this Agreement shall include the calendar quarters (or partial calendar quarters) (i) beginning on the CMA Effective Date and (ii) ending on the last day of the Term.

3.1.2 If the Term includes any partial calendar quarter, the Quarterly Fee payable in respect of such partial calendar quarter shall be prorated based on the number of days in such partial calendar quarter (as compared to the number of days in a full calendar quarter).

[*****] Text omitted for confidential treatment. The redacted information has been excluded because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.

3.1.3 If, during any calendar quarter, SUPPLIER fails to deliver all of the Clinical Products specified in one or more Purchase Orders to be delivered to Company during such calendar quarter, the Quarterly Fee payable in respect of the next calendar quarter shall be reduced by the percentage of Clinical Products not so delivered as compared to the Clinical Products so specified for delivery; provided that there shall be no such reduction to the extent such Clinical Products not so delivered were in excess of the Quarterly Manufacturing Capacity with respect to such calendar quarter.

3.1.4 If Company is entitled to a prorated or reduced Quarterly Fee pursuant to Section 3.1.2, Section 3.1.3 and/or Section 5.5.2(c), but has already paid such Quarterly Fee, SUPPLIER shall promptly reimburse Company for the difference between the Quarterly Fee paid and the prorated or reduced Quarterly Fee that was actually owed. If the application of Section 3.13 and/or Section 5.5.2(c) would result in a reduction to a future Quarterly Fee, but no such future Quarterly Fee is payable hereunder, SUPPLIER shall promptly reimburse Company in an amount equal to the amount that such future Quarterly Fee would have been reduced.

3.2 Invoices and Payments.

3.2.1 The first Quarterly Fee shall be payable within [*****] days of the CMA Effective Date. Thereafter, invoices with respect to each calendar quarter (or partial calendar quarter) shall be provided to Company no more than [*****] days prior to the first day of such calendar quarter. Payment terms will be net [*****] days after Company’s receipt of an uncontested invoice from SUPPLIER; provided, however, the actual payment to SUPPLIER from Company or its designee will not be made until the next scheduled payment run as set forth at ▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇. Company may contest any invoice or portion thereof if (i) it reasonably believes that the charges reflected therein do not accurately reflect a proration or reduction in the Quarterly Fee required under Section 3.1.2, 3.1.3 and/or 5.5.2(c) or (ii) it disputes any of the costs included in such invoice pursuant to Section 2.2.4, in each case by providing notice to SUPPLIER of such dispute within [*****] days of its receipt of such invoice Once the matter is resolved, Company shall pay the appropriate charges. SUPPLIER shall continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement during such dispute. If an invoice is disputed in part, SUPPLIER may issue a new invoice in compliance with this Section 3.2.1 reflecting solely the undisputed charges, and any such invoice shall be payable within [*****] days after receipt thereof; provided, however, the actual payment to SUPPLIER from Company or its designee will not be made until the next scheduled payment run as set forth at ▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇.

3.2.2 SUPPLIER shall not invoice Company hereunder, and no claim for payments will be considered with respect to Clinical Products Manufactured hereunder prior to both Parties’ duly authorized representatives signing this Agreement and Company issuing a purchase order number to SUPPLIER with respect to the services provided hereunder, provided that Company shall use reasonable best efforts to issue such purchase orders at such times and in such manner as will facilitate payments in accordance with this Section 3.2.

[*****] Text omitted for confidential treatment. The redacted information has been excluded because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.

(c) SUPPLIER shall reduce the Quarterly Fees owed by Company to SUPPLIER (or refund the Quarterly Fees paid by Company to SUPPLIER, as applicable), as if SUPPLIER failed to deliver the quantity of Nonconforming Clinical Products, in accordance with and to the extent required by Section 3.1.3.

(d) Disagreement Regarding Nonconformity. If SUPPLIER does not agree with Company’s determination that any Clinical Products are Nonconforming Clinical Products and timely delivers a Nonconformity Disagreement Notice, then the Parties will select an independent Third Party laboratory reasonably acceptable to each Party to evaluate if the allegedly Nonconforming Clinical Products meet such requirements. Absent manifest error or fraud, this evaluation will be binding on the Parties. If the evaluation certifies that the allegedly Nonconforming Clinical Products do not meet the Clinical Product Requirements, SUPPLIER will be responsible for the cost of the evaluation. If the evaluation certifies that the allegedly Nonconforming Clinical Products do meet the requirements of Sections 5.2(a) and (b), then (1) Company shall be responsible for the cost of the evaluation, (2) the Clinical Products shall be deemed accepted, and (3) if SUPPLIER replaced the Nonconforming Clinical Products and if, as a result of such replacement, the total Clinical Products supplied by SUPPLIER exceeded the Manufacturing Capacity (on an annual or monthly basis), Company shall pay SUPPLIER for such Clinical Products.

5.6 Clinical Product Actions.

5.6.1 Notification. SUPPLIER shall notify Company in writing promptly following its determination that any event, incident or circumstance related to safety issues or regulatory concerns has occurred that is reasonably likely to result in the need for a recall or withdrawal of Clinical Products supplied under this Agreement (a “Clinical Product Action”), and shall include in such notice (a “Clinical Product Action Notice”) the reasoning behind such determination and any supporting facts. Such Clinical Product Action Notice shall be given no later than five (5) Business Days after such determination is made; provided that if any Regulatory Authority (a) threatens or initiates any action to remove Clinical Products from use in clinical trials in any country, or (b) requires a Party, or any of its Affiliates or (sub)licensees, to distribute a “Dear Doctor” letter or its equivalent regarding the use of Clinical Products, then, in either case ((a) or (b)), the Clinical Product Action Notice shall be given within one (1) Business Day after SUPPLIER becomes aware of the action, threat or requirement (as applicable).

5.6.2 Expenses. Unless and solely to the extent a Clinical Product Action is necessitated by a Latent Nonconformity (or by the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of, or the material breach of this Agreement by, SUPPLIER), Company shall be solely responsible for all costs arising out of such Clinical Product Action and shall reimburse SUPPLIER for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by SUPPLIER in carrying out a Clinical Product Action. If and then solely to the extent a Clinical Product Action is necessitated by Latent Nonconformity (or by the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of, or the material breach of this Agreement by, SUPPLIER), SUPPLIER shall reimburse Company for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Company or its Affiliates in assisting SUPPLIER to carry out a Clinical Product Action.

5.7 Manufacturing Site Audits.

SUPPLIER will permit Company to conduct quality assurance audits and inspections of SUPPLIER’s and its Affiliates’ records and facilities relating to Manufacture of Clinical Products, during normal business hours, in accordance with the terms of the Quality Agreement. Each Company representative participating in any such audit or inspection shall enter into a confidentiality agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to SUPPLIER and any applicable Affiliate.

5.8 Regulatory Matters.

5.8.1 SUPPLIER’s Obligations. SUPPLIER shall, and shall ensure that its Affiliates shall, at their own cost, obtain and maintain throughout the Term any certificates, permits, licenses and approvals issued by any relevant Governmental Authority required for the Manufacture of Clinical Products at the Manufacturing Sites in accordance with this Agreement.

5.8.2 Regulatory Approval Cooperation. SUPPLIER shall provide Company with all supporting data and information relating to the Chemistry, Manufacture and Control (CMC) of Clinical Products at the Manufacturing Sites that is in the possession and control of SUPPLIER and necessary for regulatory submissions by Company, including all records, raw data, reports, authorizations, certificates, methodologies, batch documentation, raw material specifications, standard operating procedures, standard test methods, certificates of analysis, certificates of compliance and other documentation in its possession or under its control relating to the Manufacturing of the Clinical Products.

5.8.3 Regulatory Inspections. SUPPLIER shall permit Company or its representatives to be present at any visit or inspection by any Regulatory Authority to the extent related to Clinical Products, or to any Manufacturing Site or other facility used to Manufacture, to test or to warehouse Clinical Products or specific to the systems or process used for the Manufacture of Clinical Products. SUPPLIER shall notify Company within three (3) Business Days of becoming aware of any planned inspection and within twenty-four (24) hours of any unplanned or ongoing inspection. SUPPLIER will provide Company copies of all regulatory reports of inspection, copies of all regulatory correspondence from Regulatory Authorities and copies of proposed written responses to be provided to Regulatory Authorities for Company’s review and comment before submission to any Regulatory Authority. SUPPLIER and Company will also provide daily inspection summary reports specific to Clinical Products or to any Manufacturing Site or other facility used to Manufacture, to test or to warehouse Clinical Products or specific to the systems or process used for the Manufacture of Clinical Products, in each case, in a format acceptable to both Parties each day of such an inspection. If SUPPLIER receives any observations or warning from any Regulatory Authority relating to any Clinical Products or Manufacturing Site or other facility (if it relates to the Manufacture of any Clinical Products) or to the systems or process used for the Manufacture of Clinical Products, SUPPLIER shall within ten (10) Business Days of the date such observations or warning is received by SUPPLIER, remedy or cause the remedy of the issues identified in such notice or warning or, if any such issues cannot reasonably be remedied within such ten (10) Business Day period the Parties will agree on a plan to resolve such issues within a mutually agreed time period. If the Parties cannot agree, the matter will be referred to the Head of Quality of each Party for resolution, by providing written notice to the appropriate contact person specified in the relevant Quality Agreement.

5.8.4 Additional Support. SUPPLIER may from time to time provide additional support in furtherance of the Manufacture and supply of Clinical Products, including support to assist Company in complying with applicable Law or the requirements of any Regulatory Authority (e.g., the performance of analytical testing using certain assays in support of demonstrating Phase 2 and Phase 3 process comparability), subject to the mutual agreement of the Parties with respect to the terms and conditions applicable to the activities described in this sentence.

5.9 Person-In-Plant.

During the Term, SUPPLIER agrees to permit Company’s personnel or duly authorized representatives to observe and consult with respect to the Manufacturing of Clinical Products (each such employee or agent a “Manufacturing Representative”). Each Manufacturing Representative will serve as the Company’s representative at the Manufacturing Sites during Manufacture of Clinical Products. SUPPLIER will allow each Manufacturing Representative reasonable access to (A) all data and information regarding Manufacture of Clinical Products and (B) to be present during the Manufacture of Clinical Products. Each Manufacturing Representative will have access only to those portions of the Manufacturing Sites reasonably related to the Manufacture of Clinical Products as well as reasonable access to office space, data and communication resources on an as-needed basis to enable such Manufacturing Representative to carry out the activities contemplated herein. In no event will any Manufacturing Representative interfere with, and SUPPLIER will remain fully responsible for, the Manufacture of Clinical Products. Each Manufacturing Representative will coordinate closely with SUPPLIER in order to minimize the impact of his/her presence on operations and will comply with all of SUPPLIER’S policies and procedures regarding their presence in the Facilities including any training requirements.

5.10 Records and Information Management.

SUPPLIER shall comply with the records and information management provisions set forth on Exhibit F.

Article 8

8.1 Term.

This Agreement shall become effective as of the CMA Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Article 8, shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2021 (the “Term”); provided that the foregoing shall not limit any ongoing obligations of SUPPLIER with respect to Clinical Products ordered prior to the end of the Term, such as the performance of quality assurance activities or ongoing stability tests, as set forth in this Agreement or the Quality Agreement, following the end of the Term. Without limiting the foregoing, if Company requires additional supply of Clinical Products following the Term to complete then-ongoing clinical trials, then upon Company’s request, the Parties shall discuss in good faith an extension to the Term in order for SUPPLIER to provide such additional supply, including with respect to any modifications to the terms of this Agreement that would apply to such Clinical Product supply during such extension as may be reasonably requested by either Party.

Article 9
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

9.1 Dispute Resolution, Generally.

The Parties recognize that a dispute may arise relating to this Agreement (a “Dispute”). Any Dispute, including Disputes that may involve the parent company, subsidiaries or Affiliates under common control of any Party, shall be resolved in accordance with this Article 9.

9.2 Mediation.

9.2.1 The Parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute by confidential mediation in accordance with the then current Mediation Procedure of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (“CPR Mediation Procedure”) (▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) before initiating arbitration. The CPR Mediation Procedure shall control, except where it conflicts with these provisions, in which case these provisions control. The mediator shall be chosen pursuant to CPR Mediation Procedure. The mediation shall be held in New York, New York.

9.2.2 Either Party may initiate mediation by written notice to the other Party of the existence of a Dispute. The Parties agree to select a mediator within 20 days of the notice and the mediation will begin promptly after the selection. The mediation will continue until the mediator, or either Party, declares in writing, no sooner than after the conclusion of one full day of a substantive mediation conference attended on behalf of each Party by a senior business person with authority to resolve the Dispute, that the Dispute cannot be resolved by mediation. In no event, however, shall mediation continue more than 60 days from the initial notice by a Party to initiate mediation unless the Parties agree in writing to extend that period.

9.2.3 Any period of limitations that would otherwise expire between the initiation of mediation and its conclusion shall be extended until 20 days after the conclusion of the mediation.

9.3 Arbitration.

9.3.1 If the Parties fail to resolve the Dispute in mediation, and a Party desires to pursue resolution of the Dispute, the Dispute shall be submitted by either Party for resolution in arbitration pursuant to the then current CPR Non-Administered Arbitration Rules (“CPR Rules”) (▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇), except where they conflict with these provisions, in which case these provisions control. The arbitration will be held in New York, New York. All aspects of the arbitration shall be treated as confidential.

9.3.2 The arbitrators will be chosen form the CPR Panel of Distinguished Neutrals, unless a candidate not on such panel is approved by both Parties. Each arbitrator shall be a lawyer with at least 15 years experience with a law firm or corporate law department of over 25 lawyers or who was a judge of a court of general jurisdiction. To the extent that the Dispute requires special expertise, the Parties will so inform CPR prior to the beginning of the selection process.

9.3.3 The arbitration tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators, of whom each Party shall designate one in accordance with the “screened” appointment procedure provided in CPR Rule 5.4. The chair will be chosen in accordance with CPR Rule 6.4.

9.3.4 If, however, the aggregate award sought by the Parties is less than $5 million and equitable relief is not sought, a single arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with the CPR Rules.

9.3.5 Candidates for the arbitrator position(s) may be interviewed by representatives of the Parties in advance of their selection, provided that all Parties are represented.

9.3.6 The Parties agree to select the arbitrator(s) within 45 days of initiation of the arbitration. The hearing will be concluded within nine (9) months after selection of the arbitrator(s) and the award will be rendered within 60 days of the conclusion of the hearing, or of any post-hearing briefing, which briefing will be completed by both sides within 45 days after the conclusion of the hearing. In the event the Parties cannot agree upon a schedule, then the arbitrator(s) shall set the schedule following the time limits set forth above as closely as practical.

9.3.7 The hearing will be concluded in ten hearing days or less. Multiple hearing days will be scheduled consecutively to the greatest extent possible. A transcript of the testimony adduced at the hearing shall be made and shall be made available to each Party.

9.3.8 The arbitrator(s) shall be guided, but not bound, by the CPR Protocol on Disclosure of Documents and Presentation of Witnesses in Commercial Arbitration (▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) ("Protocol"). The Parties will attempt to agree on modes of document disclosure, electronic discovery, witness presentation, etc. within the parameters of the Protocol. If the Parties cannot agree on discovery and presentation issues, the arbitrator(s) shall decide on presentation modes and provide for discovery within the Protocol, understanding that the Parties contemplate reasonable discovery.

9.3.9 The arbitrator(s) shall decide the merits of any Dispute in accordance with the law governing this Agreement, without application of any principle of conflict of laws that would result in reference to a different law. The arbitrator(s) may not apply principles such as "amiable compositeur" or "natural justice and equity."

9.3.10 The arbitrator(s) are expressly empowered to decide dispositive motions in advance of any hearing and shall endeavor to decide such motions as would a United States District Court Judge sitting in the jurisdiction whose substantive law governs.

9.3.11 The arbitrator(s) shall render a written opinion stating the reasons upon which the award is based. The Parties consent to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the district in which the arbitration is held for the enforcement of these provisions and the entry of judgment on any award rendered hereunder. Should such court for any reason lack jurisdiction, any court with jurisdiction may act in the same fashion.

9.3.12 Each Party has the right to seek from the appropriate court provisional remedies such as attachment, preliminary injunction, replevin, etc. to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo, or preserve the subject matter of the Dispute. Rule 14 of the CPR Rules does not apply to this Agreement.

9.3.13 EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES: (1) ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL OF ANY ISSUE BY JURY, (2) WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RELIEF MANDATED BY STATUTE OR RESULTING FROM THE WILLFUL MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY CLAIM TO PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, MULTIPLIED, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR LOST PROFITS/REVENUES DAMAGES (EXCEPT, IN EACH CASE, TO THE EXTENT AWARDED TO A THIRD PARTY), AND (3) ANY CLAIM FOR ATTORNEY FEES, COSTS AND PREJUDGMENT INTEREST.

Article 10
INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Incorporation of Asset Purchase Agreement Indemnification Provisions.

This Agreement shall be deemed to be a “Related Document” for the purposes of Article VII of the Asset Purchase Agreement, and Article VII of the Asset Purchase Agreement will govern the indemnification obligations of the Parties with respect to any “Losses”, as such term is defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement, arising under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any “Losses” arising from, relating to or otherwise in connection with any breach of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement of SUPPLIER or Company, as applicable, contained in this Agreement).

Article 11
MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Notices.

All notices given by one Party to the other Party under this Agreement will follow the procedures and be delivered to the addresses set forth in Section 9.2 of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

11.2 Governing Law.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REGARDLESS OF THE LAWS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GOVERN UNDER APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF.

11.3 Assignment.

Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by either of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any assignment without such consent shall be null and void, except that either Party may, without the prior written consent of the other Party, assign (a) any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates (provided that the assigning Party shall remain responsible for the performance of such assignee Affiliate) or (b) this Agreement in its entirety to a Third Party acquirer of that portion of its business relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. Any successor or assignee of rights and/or obligations permitted hereunder shall, in writing, expressly assume performance of such rights and/or obligations.

11.4 Designation of Affiliates.

Each Party may discharge any obligation and exercise any right hereunder through delegation of its obligations or rights to any of its Affiliates. Each Party hereby guarantees the performance by its Affiliates of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement, and shall cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance. Any breach by a Party’s Affiliate of any of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed a breach by such Party, and the other Party may proceed directly against such Party without any obligation to first proceed against such Party’s Affiliate.

11.5 Relationship of the Parties.

It is expressly agreed that SUPPLIER, on the one hand, and Company, on the other hand, are independent contractors, and it is further agreed that the Parties fully intend and expect that the relationship between the two Parties shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency. Except as expressly provided herein, neither SUPPLIER nor Company shall have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action which shall be binding on the other, without the prior written consent of the other Party to do so. All individuals employed by a Party shall be employees of that Party and not of the other Party and all costs and obligations incurred by reason of such employment shall be for the account and expense of such Party.

11.6 Force Majeure.

Both Parties shall be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by Force Majeure and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice of such Force Majeure circumstances to the other Party. Such excuse shall be continued so long as the condition constituting Force Majeure continues and the nonperforming Party takes reasonable best efforts to remove the condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall not be excused from making payments owed hereunder because of a Force Majeure affecting such Party. If a Force Majeure persists for more than ninety (90) days, then the Parties shall discuss in good faith the modification of the Parties’ obligations under this Agreement in order to mitigate the delays caused by such Force Majeure. In the event a Party is prevented from performing its obligations under this Agreement due to Force Majeure for more than six (6) months according to this Section 11.6, the other Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days’ notice after the expiration of such period. A termination under this Section 11.6 by either Party shall be treated as a termination under Section 8.2.

11.7 Severability.

If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be or is taken, the provision shall be considered severed from this Agreement and shall not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof. The Parties shall make good faith efforts to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.

11.8 English Language.

This Agreement shall be written in and executed in, and all other communications under or in connection with this Agreement shall be in, the English language. Any translation into any other language shall not be an official version hereof or thereof, and in the event of any conflict in interpretation between the English version and such translation, the English version shall control.

11.9 Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies.

Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. The waiver by either Party of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by such other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by applicable Law or otherwise available except as expressly set forth herein.

11.10 Further Assurance.

Each Party shall duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts and things, including the filing of such assignments, agreements, documents, and instruments, as may be necessary or as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with this Agreement to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes hereof.

11.11 Headings.

The headings of each Article and Section in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to limit or expand on the meaning of the language contained in the particular Article or Section.

11.12 Construction.

Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days without using a term otherwise defined herein, such number refers to calendar days, whether or not “calendar days” is expressly stated. Except where the context otherwise requires, (a) wherever used, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular; (b) the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders; (c) the terms “including,” “include,” “includes” and “for example” shall not limit the generality of any description preceding such term and, as used herein, shall have the same meaning as “including, but not limited to,” and “including, without limitation”; (d) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof; (e) the word “will” means “shall”; (f) if a period of time is specified and dates from a given day or Business Day, or the day or Business Day of an act or event, it is to be calculated exclusive of that day or Business Day; (g) “Dollar”, “USD” or “$” means U.S. Dollars; (h) references to a particular Person include such Person’s successors and assigns to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement; (i) a capitalized term not defined herein but reflecting a different part of speech than a capitalized term which is defined herein shall be interpreted in a correlative manner; (j) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein); (k) any provision under this Agreement requiring the mutual agreement of the Parties or the consent or approval of a Party shall only be satisfied if made in writing signed by the relevant Party(ies) and (l) if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the “Term” shall be deemed to end on the effective date of such termination.

11.14 Entire Agreement; Amendments.

This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto, sets forth the complete, final and exclusive agreement and all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes, as of the CMA Effective Date, all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any inconsistency between the body of this Agreement or any Exhibits to this Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement or any other Related Document, this Agreement shall govern and control with respect to the supply of Clinical Product and the specific subject matter hereof, and the Asset Purchase Agreement and other Related Documents shall govern and control with respect to all other matters. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof other than as are set forth herein and therein. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties unless reduced to writing and signed by an authorized officer of each Party. In the event of any inconsistency between the body of this Agreement and any Exhibits to this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly stated to the contrary in such Exhibit, the terms contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.

11.15 Specific Performance.

The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity and as further set forth in Article 9. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 11.15 shall not restrict any Party from asserting that the terms and provisions of this Agreement have not been breached (or would not be breached) by the actions or omissions (or intended actions or omissions) of such Party.
