2 PURCHASE & SALE OBLIGATIONS
2.1. QUANTITY AND PLANNING
(i) SELLER will sell to BUYER and BUYER shall purchase Oral Care layer as set forth in Exhibit 2.1 (“GOODS”) in accordance with the AGREEMENT. In accordance with current practices, BUYER shall provide SELLER with a non-binding [*] purchase forecast for GOODS, detailing the volumes for each product by month, including requirements for launch quantities, retail product, sampling and promotions. [*] prior to the start of each succeeding calendar quarter, BUYER shall provide SELLER a new non-binding purchase forecast for GOODS detailing the projected volumes for each consecutive[*] period (each a “ROLLING FORECAST”). By way of example, on each [*], a ROLLING FORECAST will be submitted for the [*] period beginning on [*]; on each [*], a ROLLING FORECAST will be submitted for the [*] period beginning on [*]; and on each [*], a ROLLING FORECAST will be submitted for the [*] period beginning on [*]; and on [*], a ROLLING FORECAST will be submitted for the [*] period beginning on [*].
(ii) SELLER and BUYER will collaborate to set the master production schedule based on BUYER’s forecasts. The PARTIES will endeavor to accommodate fluctuations in BUYER’s demand. The ROLLING FORECASTS as submitted above will dictate the average [*] volumes for the upcoming [*] and all PURCHASE ORDERS, as defined below, submitted during that quarter will be at the corresponding price for that CAPACITY WINDOW, regardless of the actual [*] PURCHASE ORDER levels. A CAPACITY WINDOW (“CAPACITY WINDOW”) is the set of volume ranges of production available for the order of GOODS as set forth in Exhibit 3.1. So long as the average [*] volumes within a [*] submitted in PURCHASE ORDERS during any given calendar [*] remain within the CAPACITY WINDOW determined by the ROLLING FORECAST submitted prior to that [*], the PARTIES agree to “smooth out” the manufacture of the GOODS to meet BUYER’s delivery schedule as provided in the [*] PURCHASE ORDERS and to maximize the efficiency of SELLER’s production staffing schedule. For the avoidance of doubt, if BUYER submits a [*] PURCHASE ORDER for GOODS outside of the amount in the CAPACITY WINDOW, SELLER will accept such PURCHASE ORDER if the total average [*] volumes remain within the applicable CAPACITY WINDOW.

Should the materials ordered in a [*] period not be used within [*], BUYER will purchase the excess materials from SELLER at SELLER’s actual cost. Based on the master production schedule, SELLER will confirm delivery timing in accordance with the PURCHASE ORDERS placed by BUYER. The minimum order quantity is a production lot size of [*] (“MINIMUM ORDER”). The maximum production capacity is [*] per week (“MAXIMUM ORDER”).
2.2. PURCHASE ORDERS
BUYER will order GOODS from SELLER by means of purchase orders, releases or other means of ordering (collectively “PURCHASE ORDERS”). Upon SELLER’s acceptance of each PURCHASE ORDER, each PURCHASE ORDER is binding upon SELLER and BUYER, and the terms of this AGREEMENT are incorporated by reference. Each PURCHASE ORDER from BUYER to SELLER shall specify the exact quantity of GOODS requested and the scheduled delivery date for such quantity (“Delivery Date”). The PARTIES will agree to packaging and shipping instructions. Each PURCHASE ORDER for GOODS shall be in compliance with Section 2.1. In no event will a Delivery Date requested by BUYER be less than [*] after the date the PURCHASE ORDER is received by SELLER, except with the prior written consent of SELLER. SELLER shall acknowledge each PURCHASE ORDER within [*] after receipt. SELLER shall manufacture and supply GOODS in accordance with the terms of accepted PURCHASE ORDERS issued and the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT.

Any changes to the SPECIFICATIONS shall be made in accordance with Section 7.7. Any SPECIFICATIONS revised in accordance with this AGREEMENT shall become effective [*] after BUYER and SELLER have agreed upon the proposed revision (“CHANGE DATE”).
If a change in the SPECIFICATIONS is requested by either PARTY as the result of BUYER or SELLER being approached by or sued by a third party concerning an allegation of patent infringement relating to the development, manufacture, use, distribution, or sale of the GOODS (“THIRD PARTY IP CLAIM”), the PARTIES shall first follow the procedure described above for considering any proposed change to the SPECIFICATIONS. If, following such process, the PARTIES have not agreed to change the SPECIFICATIONS as requested by either PARTY upon receiving notice within a reasonable time, but not to exceed [*] then BUYER shall be entitled to: (i) terminate this AGREEMENT at any reasonable time thereafter, with immediate effect subject to Sections 3.3.1, 4.4, and 4.5, (ii) purchase the GOODS from other suppliers in which case the obligations of BUYER and SELLER hereunder shall be reduced accordingly, or (iii) continue to purchase under this AGREEMENT.

SELLER shall, in addition to SELLER’s obligation to indemnify BUYER, its parent, its AFFILIATEs and subsidiaries and their respective agents, officers, directors and employees (“BUYER INDEMNITEE”) by law, in equity or otherwise, at its own expense, at BUYER’s option defend, indemnify and hold harmless BUYER INDEMNITEE from and against all third-party claims, allegations, demands, liabilities, obligations, charges, fines, losses, damages, penalties, interest, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees, experts’ fees, and expenses and any amounts paid in settlement (collectively “CLAIMS”), to the extent directly attributable to, arising from or relating to any of the following: (i) SELLER’s breach of this AGREEMENT; (ii) gross negligence, bad faith, intentional or willful misconduct of SELLER or SELLER’s subcontractors or their respective employees or other representatives; or (iii) bodily injury, death or damage to personal property arising out of or relating to SELLER’s negligence in its performance under this AGREEMENT.
6.2. INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE FOR THIRD PARTY CLAIMS
Within [*] after BUYER’s determination (including but not limited to the identification of the root cause for a third party CLAIM) that a third party legal proceeding against BUYER INDEMNITEE may entitle the BUYER INDEMNITEE to seek indemnification under Section 6.1, BUYER will notify SELLER in writing. Upon BUYER’s request, and SELLER’s agreement that the matter is one for which it is responsible to indemnify BUYER INDEMNITEE, SELLER will assume, at its own expense, the defense of any such third party legal proceedings with reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to BUYER and is entitled to settle any such third party legal proceedings with BUYER’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. BUYER, at SELLER’s cost, will reasonably cooperate with SELLER in the defense of such action as SELLER may reasonably request. SELLER will pay any damages assessed against BUYER INDEMNITEE in accordance with this AGREEMENT. For the avoidance of doubt, CLAIMS related to intellectual property infringement or misappropriation are subject to Section 6.3
6.3. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT INDEMNIFICATION
Intellectual Property (as defined in the LICENSE AGREEMENT) infringement (if any), and related indemnification (if any) by a PARTY including related procedures, shall continue to be exclusively governed by the LICENSE AGREEMENT.
6.4. INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE FOR THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIMS
Indemnification Procedures for Third Party Claims (as defined in the LICENSE AGREEMENT) shall continue to be exclusively governed by the LICENSE AGREEMENT.
6.5. LIABILITY OF PARTIES
IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, OR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT FORESEEABLE, ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT IN EXCESS OF [*]; PROVIDED HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO (A) CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO BAD FAITH, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, INTENTIONAL OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF A PARTY, ITS EMPLOYEES OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES; (B) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS, INCLUDING CLAIMS FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE; (C) ANY DAMAGES TO BUYER’S PERSONAL PROPERTY.
SELLER’s compliance with the Section 5.9 entitled INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS shall not relieve SELLER of any liability to BUYER arising under any other provision of this AGREEMENT except to the extent that such monies recovered are paid to BUYER to reduce SELLER’s obligations to BUYER. SELLER shall be liable for any and all deductibles it may incur in connection with any of the policies listed in the Section 5.9 entitled INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.

7.1. CONFIDENTIALITY
Section 12 of the LICENSE AGREEMENT shall continue to apply to this AGREEMENT and its subject matter.
7.2. PUBLIC DISCLOSURES
Except as required by LAWS or with BUYER’s prior written consent, SELLER (i) will not disclose the existence or the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT or the existence of a relationship between the PARTIES to any
party, and (ii) will not use BUYER’s, its parents’, its AFFILIATES’ or subsidiaries’ corporate names or trademarks.
7.3. FORCE MAJEURE
Acts of God, fires, floods, weather, epidemics, war, or other cause(s), in each case that are beyond the reasonable control of a PARTY, not reasonably foreseeable, not caused by acts or omissions of the PARTY affected and that could not have been avoided through a work-around plan, which prevent SELLER from providing or procuring the GOODS, BUYER from receiving or using GOODS or either PARTY from performing under this AGREEMENT (“FORCE MAJEURE EVENT”), will suspend the affected PARTY’s respective obligations under this AGREEMENT during the period required to remove such FORCE MAJEURE EVENT. The affected PARTY will promptly notify the other PARTY of the FORCE MAJEURE EVENT and its cause. If the affected PARTY is SELLER, then BUYER, upon notice of the FORCE MAJEURE EVENT is entitled to purchase the GOODS from other suppliers in which case the obligations of BUYER and SELLER under this AGREEMENT, if any will be reduced accordingly. If the affected PARTY is SELLER and the period of the FORCE MAJEURE EVENT lasts longer than [*], then BUYER is entitled, at any time thereafter, while such FORCE MAJEURE EVENT continues, to terminate this AGREEMENT without any penalty, liability or further obligation therefore, immediately upon notice to the SELLER, or purchase the GOODS from other suppliers in which case the obligations, of BUYER and SELLER under this AGREEMENT, if any will be reduced accordingly. If the affected PARTY is SELLER, then SELLER will allocate its supply of the GOODS to BUYER so that the percentage reduction in SELLER’s supply of Goods to BUYER is no greater than the overall percentage reduction in the total quantity of Goods that SELLER is able to supply as a result of the Force Majeure Event. Upon BUYER’S request and upon timings requested by BUYER, SELLER will develop, test and then submit to BUYER for BUYER’s approval a supply assurance plan.
7.4. ASSIGNMENT
SELLER will not delegate, subcontract, transfer or assign this AGREEMENT or any of its rights or obligations, whether in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of BUYER, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In no case will SELLER delegate, subcontract, transfer or assign any of its obligations to any party that is subject to international sanctions imposed by the UN, EU or US whether by means of a designated list (including OFAC’s SDN list and the BIS lists) or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SELLER may assign this AGREEMENT in the event of a sale by SELLER of substantially all of its business to which this AGREEMENT relates without BUYER’s prior written consent except in the event that the buyer is any of the entities identified in Exhibit 7.4 hereto, which Exhibit may be amended from time to time to add or delete identified entities, or otherwise in accordance with Section 4.1. Any assignment or transfer of this AGREEMENT, pursuant to the preceding sentences, by SELLER, or its successors or assigns, shall include a covenant in writing to BUYER by such assignee or successor agreeing to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT applicable to SELLER. BUYER is entitled, without restriction, to delegate, subcontract, transfer or assign this AGREEMENT or any of its rights or obligations, whether in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of SELLER.
7.5. CHANGE IN CONTROL
To the extent legally permissible, SELLER will provide BUYER reasonable notice in writing prior to any change in in control of SELLER (“CHANGE IN CONTROL”).
In case of a CHANGE IN CONTROL, BUYER is entitled to terminate this AGREEMENT, in whole or in part, without any penalty, liability or further obligation with [*] prior written notice to SELLER, and SELLER will provide reasonable transition services to BUYER.

7.6. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR STATUS
The PARTIES are independent contractors with respect to each other, and nothing in this AGREEMENT will be construed to place the PARTIES in the relationship of partners, joint ventures, fiduciaries or agents. Neither PARTY is granted any right or any authority to assume or to create an obligation or to bind the other PARTY. SELLER will perform under this AGREEMENT with trained personnel and SELLER acknowledges that BUYER has no labor relationship with, right, power, authority or duty to select, hire, manage, discharge, supervise or direct any of SELLER’s employees, agents, subcontractors or their employees.
7.7. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER
An amendment, modification, waiver, or discharge of this AGREEMENT is only valid if it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the PARTY against which such amendment, modification, waiver, or discharge is sought to be enforced and specifically references this Section 7.7. No waiver of any breach, or the failure of a PARTY to enforce any of the terms of the AGREEMENT, will affect that PARTY’s right to enforce the terms of this AGREEMENT. Any other modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this AGREEMENT is null and void.
7.8. ENTIRETY AND AGREEMENT PRECEDENCE
This Agreement, which includes the schedules, exhibits, attachments and annexes attached hereto or incorporated by reference and made part of this AGREEMENT or subsequently incorporated in this Agreement, constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties regarding the manufacture and supply of GOODS and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, oral or written, made between the Parties relating to such subject matter. If there is a conflict between this AGREEMENT and any of the PARTIES’ PURCHASE ORDERS, releases, delivery schedules, invoices, general terms and conditions of trade and other similar preprinted forms that purport to govern the same matter as set forth in this AGREEMENT, then this AGREEMENT prevails, except as otherwise set forth in Section 7.7 entitled MODIFICATION AND WAIVER.
7.9. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this AGREEMENT is declared void, invalid or unlawful by any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction, then such provision will be deemed severed from the remainder of this AGREEMENT and the balance will remain in full force and effect. The PARTIES will undertake to replace such provision with valid and enforceable provisions, which, in their commercial effect, approximate as closely as possible the intentions of the PARTIES as expressed in the void, invalid or unlawful provision.
7.10. NOTICES
All notices will be given in writing or to the extent legally permissible signed facsimile or electronic copy and will be deemed received upon receipt by the following contacts:
SELLER: Corium International, Inc,

7.11. FACSIMILE AND ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES AND COPIES
To the extent legally permissible, signed facsimile or an electronic copy of the signed AGREEMENT will bind the PARTIES to the same extent as original documents. Each PARTY will not challenge the validity or enforceability of this AGREEMENT solely because the other PARTY provides only for a facsimile signature or an electronic signature. Upon BUYER's request, the PARTIES will execute this AGREEMENT with physical signature(s) which will bind the PARTIES for the PERIOD even if executed after the EFFECTIVE DATE.

7.12. GOVERNING LAW, CONSTRUCTION AND LANGUAGE

The courts sitting in, or having principal jurisdiction over the State of New York have exclusive jurisdiction of all disputes under this AGREEMENT and the PARTIES agree that such court is the proper forum for the determination of any dispute arising out of or relating to this AGREEMENT. The PARTIES irrevocably agree that service of process upon it by certified mail-return receipt requested, addressed to it at its address set forth on the Section 7.10, will constitute good and effective service for all purposes.
If this AGREEMENT is translated, the English language version will govern. The application of the United Nations Convention on International Sale of Goods and/or the Sales of Goods Act (Ontario, Canada) is explicitly excluded. No trade usage will be used to explain or supplement this AGREEMENT.
7.13. SURVIVAL PROVISIONS
The expiration or termination of this AGREEMENT will not affect the terms of this AGREEMENT that expressly provide that they will survive expiration or termination or which out of necessity must survive expiration or termination.

BUYER may, upon [*] prior written notice, request in writing and SELLER, will permit its books and records directly related to amounts invoiced, paid, or due under this AGREEMENT, to be examined, no more than once in any [*] period, except in the case of a serious incident requiring an immediate inspection and audit, during normal business hours, by an independent auditor appointed by BUYER and reasonably acceptable to SELLER, to verify the accuracy of the invoices or payments pursuant to this AGREEMENT. Any such audit shall be at BUYER’S expense unless the audit reveals overcharges from SELLER to BUYER which are greater than [*] of what the correct charges would have been in which case SELLER will reimburse BUYER for the costs of such audit. If the audit reveals any overpayment for GOODS, SELLER will reimburse BUYER for such overpayment within [*] of completion of the audit, and if the audit reveals any underpayment for GOODS, BUYER will pay any shortfall within [*] of the completion of such audit. Any information provided by SELLER in connection with any audit shall be considered Confidential Information (as defined in the LICENSE AGREEMENT) of SELLER.
7.15. EXCLUSIVITY
Exclusivity (as defined in the LICENSE AGREEMENT) shall continue to be exclusively governed by the LICENSE AGREEMENT.
