​

​

MANUFACTURING

3.1Engagement.

(a)During the Term of this Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Company agrees to exclusively purchase from AAIPharma, and AAIPharma agrees to exclusively manufacture and supply, one hundred percent (100%) of Company’s requirements for each Product for Commercialization in the Territory.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to qualify other manufacturer(s) to manufacture Products solely for the purpose of such manufacturer(s) supplying Company with quantities of Product that AAIPharma is unable to supply (i) in breach of this Agreement, or (ii) during events of force majeure.  Following the Initial Term, AAIPharma may notify Company if such exclusivity commitment would prevent AAIPharma from providing services to a third party.  The Parties shall negotiate in good faith mutually acceptable revised terms including but not limited to termination of exclusivity or compensation to AAIPharma for the lost opportunity to provide services to such third party.  If the Parties fail to agree on terms within [**] days of such notification, either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement effective eighteen (18) months following the [**] day negotiation period.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Company intends to Commercialize a Product in a jurisdiction outside the Territory, for purposes of such Product only, the term “Territory” shall be expanded to include such jurisdiction provided that AAIPharma agrees in writing and AAIPharma is or becomes compliant with all laws, regulations and other legal and industry requirements applicable to the Manufacture of such Product for subsequent Commercialization of such Product in such jurisdiction.  In the event AAIPharma is unwilling or unable to supply Product to a jurisdiction outside the Territory that Company intends to Commercialize, then Company may qualify other manufacturer(s) to manufacture Product solely for that jurisdiction outside the Territory and Company’s obligation to purchase Product exclusively from AAIPharma shall be waived for that jurisdiction.

3.2Manufacture of Commercial Drug Product.  Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, AAIPharma shall Manufacture, hold, handle and prepare for shipment all Product Manufactured pursuant to this Agreement (a) in accordance with this Agreement and the Quality Agreement, and (b) in material compliance with cGMP applicable to the Manufacturing of the Product to be Commercialized in the Territory.

3.3AAIPharma Changes to Manufacturing Process.  Except as required by applicable federal, state, provincial or local law and/or respective regulations as established by the FDA and/or other regulatory authority (collectively, “Applicable Law(s)”), or cGMP, AAIPharma shall not Materially Change the Manufacturing process of a Product or change the facility where a Product is Manufactured that requires a change to a Marketing Authorization without the prior

​

​

written consent of Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  AAIPharma shall notify Company of all material changes, including Material Changes required by Applicable Law, as soon as practicable after AAIPharma learns of such change.  A “Material Change” is one that requires a submission to the FDA, EU, or other applicable regulatory authority.

3.4Company Requested Changes.  Company shall inform AAIPharma in writing of any proposed modifications to the Specifications or the Manufacturing process.  Any proposed change shall require AAIPharma’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  AAIPharma shall make changes it agrees to as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that such changes comply with Applicable Law, cGMP and the Marketing Authorizations.

3.5Costs of Changes.  Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, any and all direct costs associated with changes requested by AAIPharma and changes required by Applicable Law that apply generally to AAIPharma’s facility where the applicable Manufacturing occurs shall be borne by AAIPharma; provided however, in the event Applicable Law imposes a registration fee (such as GDUFA) or similar fee on AAIPharma’s cGMP facilities, and the fee relates to AAIPharma’s services hereunder, the Parties shall determine in good faith an equitable portion of such fee to be paid by Company.  Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, any and all direct costs associated with all other changes, including, without limitation, changes requested by Company, changes required by Applicable Laws that apply specifically to a Product, and changes required by a change to a Marketing Authorization, shall be borne by Company (collectively, the “Other Changes”).  If the change is an Other Change, (i) the Purchase Prices shall be adjusted by the change in AAIPharma’s cost of Manufacture of the Product caused by such Other Change, plus an amount necessary to maintain AAIPharma’s profit margin on such, and (ii) Company shall reimburse AAIPharma for costs, expenses or losses associated with write-offs, obsolescence and/or destruction of any work in process or finished inventory resulting from any such Other Change.

3.6Notification and Approval of Changes.  Company shall have sole responsibility for obtaining any and all necessary regulatory approvals from the relevant regulatory agencies in the Territory for changes to the Specifications and the Marketing Authorizations and for reporting any changes to such Specifications and the Marketing Authorizations to the relevant regulatory agencies in the Territory as appropriate.  Upon request by Company, AAIPharma shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Company in obtaining any such approvals; provided that Company will pay AAIPharma its standard fees and expenses therefor.

3.7Labeling.  Company shall be responsible for the labeling to be used on each Product and the packaging thereof, including any changes to such labels; provided that Company shall ensure that all such labeling complies with Applicable Laws.  AAIPharma shall use the specified labeling (and only such labeling) on the Products, and shall not use such labeling on any other product.  Any Company-directed change to a Product label shall be implemented by AAIPharma as soon as reasonably practicable following AAIPharma’s receipt of written notification of such label changes.  Company shall reimburse AAIPharma for costs incurred in connection with any such label changes, including without limitation, the costs of obsolescence of goods-in-process, packaging materials and supplies and finished goods not suitable for Commercializing in the Territory due to such label changes.

​

​

3.8Finished Product Release.  AAIPharma will provide Company with manufacturing documents as are necessary for Company to release each lot of Product for human use.  Company shall be responsible for the final release of Product for human use.

3.9Raw Materials and API.  AAIPharma shall purchase at its own expense and for its own account all Raw Materials, packaging components and other items of any nature whatsoever that AAIPharma may use to Manufacture the Products.  Except as otherwise agreed to between the Parties, all right, title and interest in and to these items, and in and to all work-in-process incorporating these items, shall remain the sole property of AAIPharma until Products incorporating such items are delivered for shipment to Company.  However, the total cost of changing the source and/or type of Raw Materials shall be at the sole cost of Company.  Company shall supply to AAIPharma at its own expense and for its own account all API to be used in the Manufacture of Products hereunder, and such API shall remain the sole property of Company.  AAIPharma shall have no liability for lost or damaged API unless caused by its negligence or intentional misconduct.  If such losses, in an annual reconciliation, lead to actual yields below [**] percent ([**]%) of theoretical, AAIPharma shall issue a credit to Company for the lesser of (a) an amount equal to Company’s then current replacement cost of the API, or (b) the amount AAIPharma would have charged Company for the amount of Product the lost quantity of API would have yielded.  As such, if Company desires to insure its API, Company should do so under its own appropriate insurance policy.  Company shall provide AAIPharma with documentation of its API cost at least annually on or before the anniversary of the Effective Date.

ARTICLE 4​
FORECASTS, ORDERS, DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE

4.1Forecasting.  Company shall provide to AAIPharma a written good faith forecast estimating Company’s quarterly requirements (broken out on a month-to-month basis) of each Product for each of the first [**] calendar quarters during the Term at least [**] months prior to Launch of each Product.  In addition, within [**] weeks after the start of each quarter (i.e. [**]) during the Term, Company shall provide AAI Pharma with an updated rolling [**] month forecast estimating Company’s requirements (broken out on a month-to-month basis) of the Product that shall cover the succeeding [**] calendar month period (or the period until the expiration of the Term, if shorter) (each such forecast, a “Long-Term Forecast”).  Except as set forth in Sections 4.2(a) and 4.2(b), the Long-Term Forecast shall not be binding on either Party, but for the first [**] calendar months of a Long-Term Forecast, which shall be a “Firm Commitment” with respect to the Product, and but for the [**] calendar months of a Long-Term Forecast, which shall be a “Firm Forecast” with respect to the Product.

4.2Firm Commitments.

(a)Each Firm Commitment shall be a binding commitment for the quantities of each Product forecast for the first [**] calendar months of the Long-Term Forecast.  The quantity of each Product specified in any Firm Commitment for delivery to, and purchase by, Company in any calendar quarter shall not be less than [**] percent ([**]%) of the quantities forecasted for such quantities when it was the applicable Firm Forecast (the “Minimum Order Requirement”).

​

​

(b)With respect to each Firm Commitment, Company shall submit to AAIPharma binding written purchase orders (a “Firm Order”) no later than [**] days prior to the requested delivery dates confirming the quantity of each Product ordered (which shall be in full Batch quantities), the requested delivery dates, and such other information as AAIPharma may find reasonably necessary to Manufacture the ordered Products.  AAIPharma will confirm the requested delivery dates within [**] business days of receipt of a Firm Order.

(c)If Company fails to order and purchase the Minimum Order Requirement, then within [**] days following the end of the quarter in which the Minimum Order Requirement was not met, Company shall pay to AAIPharma the difference between:  (i) the Purchase Price for the applicable Minimum Order Requirement, and (ii) the Purchase Price that was paid by Company for the quantity ordered.

Furthermore, Company agrees that purchases may be made by AAIPharma of the Raw Materials, packaging components and other items to satisfy the production requirements for the Long-Term Forecast.  In such circumstances, if such Raw Materials, packaging components and other items are not included in finished Products purchased by Company within [**] months after such purchases have been made (or such longer period as the Parties may have agreed to), Company will pay to AAIPharma its costs thereof and, in the event such Materials are incorporated into Products subsequently purchased by Company, Company will receive credit for any of such costs previously paid to AAIPharma by Company.

(d)AAIPharma shall Manufacture and prepare for shipment the quantity of a Product specified in the Firm Commitment and related purchase orders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Product, in no event shall AAIPharma be required in any calendar quarter to deliver more than [**] percent ([**]%) of the quantities in the applicable Firm Forecast, but AAIPharma shall use its commercially reasonable and good faith efforts to deliver quantities in excess of [**]% of the applicable Firm Forecast.  The Firm Commitments shall be made available for shipment in accordance with Section 4.4.

4.3Changes in Orders.  AAIPharma shall exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with any proposed amendments to accepted Firm Orders that Company may request, but AAIPharma shall not be liable in any way for its inability to do so.  Firm Orders may be amended only by mutual agreement of the Parties and such amendments shall not affect the Minimum Order Requirement.

4.4Delivery.  AAIPharma shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make Product available for shipment within [**] business days of the delivery date requested in the applicable Firm Order.  Company shall pay all crating, skidding, rigging, customs, freight, shipping, insurance and common carrier charges on all shipments in connection with Company’s chosen method of shipment of the Product.  All Product(s) shall be shipped EX WORKS (Incoterms 2010) AAIPharma’s manufacturing facility.  Title and risk of loss of Product shall pass to Company at the time the Products are placed on AAIPharma’s loading dock at Company’s disposal, not cleared for export and not loaded on any collecting vehicle.  Company shall be responsible for arranging the shipment of the Product(s) from AAIPharma’s manufacturing facility to its final destination (and storage charges shall be imposed [**] days after notice to Company that Product is available for shipment); provided, however, that Company must provide AAIPharma with reasonable

​

​

evidence (e.g. a copy of the current DEA registration for the destination, when applicable) that such destination is authorized to handle the Product.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Company acknowledges and agrees that AAIPharma shall have no obligation to release Product for shipment to any destination for which Company has not provided adequate evidence of authorization as required in this Section 4.4.  AAIPharma shall not be liable to Company for Product which is damaged or lost while in possession of a common carrier, and it shall be Company’s responsibility to recover any and all damage directly from such common carrier.

4.5Inspection, Acceptance and Rejection of Delivered Products.

(a)Company will have [**] days from receipt by Company to inspect and test Products for noncompliance with the applicable Specifications (the “Inspection Period”).

(b)Except as provided in Section 4.5(c), Company shall give written notice if it intends to reject a Batch(es) of Product(s) - for not complying with the Specifications - within [**] days after the Inspection Period expires; otherwise such Batch(es) shall be deemed accepted.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, AAIPharma shall not be responsible for damages to Product during shipment, and in no event shall AAIPharma be responsible for noncompliance with Specifications for Product that met Specifications at time of Release To The Client or from non-conformities that result from a deficiency or change in the API utilized in such Batch(es) of Product(s) or a defect in the Specifications for the Products.

(e)In the event that Company rejects Product(s) as provided in this Agreement, AAIPharma shall use commercially reasonable efforts (but within [**] days after AAIPharma’s receipt of Company’s notice of noncompliance) to replace the defective Product(s) or give notice that it disagrees with the rejection.  If Company and AAIPharma do not agree whether the Product(s) failed to meet applicable Specifications at the time of Release To The Client, such Products shall be submitted for testing to an independent laboratory or other authority of national reputation acceptable to both Parties for the purpose of determining the results.  Any determination by such authority shall be final and binding upon the Parties hereto.  If Company’s rejection is substantiated by the authority, AAIPharma shall pay the expenses associated with such analyses; otherwise Company shall pay such expenses and purchase the Product.

4.6Non-Conforming Product(s).  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, Company agrees, if so requested by AAIPharma, to return to AAIPharma any Product(s) that fail to meet Specifications or otherwise to dispose of such Product(s) as AAIPharma may direct, each at AAIPharma’s expense.
