2.1 | Manufacturing Services. |
Patheon will perform the Manufacturing Services for the Territory for the fees specified in Schedules B and C to manufacture Products for Client and supply the Products to Client, in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, and all Applicable Laws. Schedule B sets forth a list of cost items that are included in the Price for Products; all cost items that are not included in this list are excluded from the Price and are subject to additional fees to be paid by the Client. Patheon may change the Manufacturing Site for the Products only with the prior written consent of Client, this consent not to be unreasonably withheld. If Manufacturing Services have not started on or before [*], (i) Patheon shall have the right to request an amendment to the fees set out in Schedules B and C and no such amendment shall be binding unless approved in writing by Client and (ii) Client shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, effective upon written notice to Patheon. Patheon will be the sole manufacturer of Products offered for sale by Client in the Territory for the Initial Term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to qualify a single alternative manufacturer (“Backup Manufacturer”) to manufacture Products, and may take all actions reasonably necessary in connection with the same, including without limitation purchasing small quantities or Products necessary to qualify such Backup Manufacturer. Client shall be permitted to sell any Product that results from the required qualification, validation and maintenance production runs from the Backup Manufacturer(s), provided that the batch sizes of such qualification, validation or maintenance runs do not exceed the maximum batch size validated for the Product by Patheon. Any units from an increase in batch size by the Backup Manufacturer may be used for non-commercial activities. Patheon agrees to cooperate with Client and provide all assistance, at Client’s expense, as may reasonably be requested by Client to qualify a Backup manufacturer, provided that Patheon may, in its sole discretion, refuse to permit access to the Manufacturing Site by any direct competitor of Patheon. In performing the Manufacturing Services, Patheon and Client agree that:
(a) | Conversion of Active Materials and Components. Patheon will convert Active Materials and Components into Products. |
(b) | Quality Control and Quality Assurance. Patheon will perform the quality control and quality assurance testing specified in the Quality Agreement. Batch review and release to Client will be the responsibility of Patheon’s quality assurance group pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Quality Agreement. Patheon will perform its batch review and release responsibilities in accordance with Patheon’s standard operating procedures, which shall be commercially reasonable and comply with all Applicable Laws. Each time Patheon ships Products to Client, it will give Client a certificate of analysis and certificate of compliance including a statement that the batch has been manufactured and tested in accordance with Specifications and cGMPs. Client will have sole responsibility for the release of Products to the market. The form and style of batch documents, including, but not limited to, batch production records, lot packaging records, equipment set up control, operating parameters, and data printouts, raw material data, and laboratory notebooks are the exclusive property of Patheon. Specific Product related information contained in those batch documents is Client property. |
[*] Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.

Standard Form
(c) | Components. Patheon will purchase and test all Components (with the exception of those that are supplied by Client) at Patheon’s expense and as required by the Specifications. |
(d) | Stability Testing. Patheon will conduct stability testing on the Products in accordance with the protocols set out in the Specifications for the separate fees and during the time periods set out in Schedule C. Patheon will not make any changes to these testing protocols without prior written approval from Client. If a confirmed stability test failure occurs, Patheon will notify Client within one Business Day, after which Patheon and Client will jointly determine the proceedings and methods to be undertaken to investigate the cause of the failure, including which party will bear the cost of the investigation. Patheon will not be liable for these costs unless it has failed to perform the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws. Patheon will give Client all stability test data and results at Client’s request. |
(e) | Packaging. Patheon will package the Products as set out in the Specifications. Client will be responsible for the cost of artwork development. Patheon will determine and imprint the batch numbers and expiration dates for each Product shipped. The batch numbers and expiration dates will be affixed on the Products and on the shipping carton of each Product as outlined in the Specifications and as required by cGMPs. Client may, in its sole discretion, make changes to labels, product inserts, and other packaging for the Products. Those changes will be submitted by Client to all applicable governmental agencies and other third parties responsible for the approval of the Products. Client will be responsible for the cost of labelling obsolescence when changes occur, as contemplated in Section 4.4. Patheon’s name will not appear on the label or anywhere else on the Products unless: (i) required by any Laws; or (ii) Patheon consents in writing to the use of its name. |
(f) | Active Materials and Client Supplied Components Importing. At least [*] days before the scheduled production date, Client will deliver the Active Materials to the Manufacturing Site DDP (Incoterms 2000) sufficient for Patheon to manufacture the desired quantities of Product and to ship Product on the Delivery Date. If the Active Materials are not received [*] days before the scheduled production date, Patheon may delay the shipment of Product by the same number of days as the delay in receipt of the Active Materials. But if Patheon is unable to manufacture Product to meet this new shipment date due to prior third party production commitments, Patheon may delay the shipment until a later date as agreed to by the parties. All shipments of Active Material will be accompanied by certificate(s) of analysis from the Active Material manufacturer, confirming the identity and purity of the Active Materials and its compliance with the Active Material specifications. Any failures of Active Materials testing will be immediately reported to Client. |
(g) | Xxxx Back Items. Xxxx Back Items will be charged to Client at Patheon’s cost plus a [*] percent ([*]%) handling fee. Estimated Xxxx Back items shall be included in Schedule K; unexpected Xxxx Back items must be approved by Client, and will be reimbursed at Patheon’s cost. |
[*] | Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC. |

Standard Form
(h) | Validation Activities. At Client’s request, Patheon will (i) assist in the development and approval of the validation protocols for analytical methods and manufacturing procedures (including packaging procedures) for the Products and (ii) validate all applicable processes, methods, equipment, utilities, facilities and computers used in the manufacture, packaging, storage, testing and release of Products in conformance with all Applicable Laws, including, but not limited to cGMPs. Upon request, Patheon will provide to Client a copy of the results of Product specific validation when such results are available. The fees associated with Patheon’s assistance in providing validation development assistance are set out in Schedule C. |
(i) | Product Rejection for Finished Product Specification Failure. Internal bulk process specifications will be defined and mutually agreed upon. If Patheon manufactures Product in accordance with the agreed upon process specifications and a batch or portion of batch of Product does not meet a Finished Product Specification, Client will reimburse Patheon for its reasonable, documented, direct out-of-pocket costs for Components consumed in such batch, plus [*] percent ([*]%) of the conversion fee for such batch, to cover labour and overhead costs associated with such batch. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client will have no obligation to reimburse Patheon or pay any other amounts for such batch if such failure derives from Patheon’s negligence, intentional misconduct, Patheon’s failure to follow cGMP or ICH guidelines, regardless of whether the specific failure was included in the process specifications. |
(j) | Storage. Until finished Products have been issued a certificate of analysis and certificate of compliance or unless otherwise directly requested by Client, Patheon shall store all such Products in preparation for shipment to Client’s destination of choice identifiably distinct from any other raw material and finished or filled product stocks and shall comply with all storage requirements set forth in the Specifications and all Applicable Laws, including, but not limited to, cGMPs. Subject to Section 10.2, Patheon shall assume responsibility for any loss or damage to such finished Product while stored by Patheon. |
2.2 | Active Material Yield. |
(a) | Reporting. Within [*] calendar days from the end of a quarter, Patheon will give Client a Client Material Report, and a quarterly inventory report of the Active Materials held by Patheon using the inventory report form set out in Schedule H, which will contain the following information for the quarter: |
Quantity Received: The total quantity of Active Materials that complies with the Specifications and is received at the Manufacturing Site during the applicable period.
Quantity Dispensed: The total quantity of Active Materials dispensed at the Manufacturing Site during the applicable period. The Quantity Dispensed is calculated by [*]. The Quantity Dispensed will only include Active Materials received and dispensed in commercial manufacturing of Products and, for certainty, will not include any (i) Active Materials that must be retained by Patheon as samples, (ii) Active Materials contained in Product that must be retained as samples, (iii) Active Materials used in testing (if
[*] Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.

applicable), and (iv) Active Materials 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 Active Materials 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 [*] days after the end of (i) the first Year, and (ii) each [*] ([*]) month interval during each subsequent Year, (each such period in (i) and (ii) a “Reconciliation Interval”), Patheon will prepare a reconciliation of Active Materials on the reconciliation report form set forth in Schedule I including the calculation of the “Actual Yield” or “AY” for the Product at the Manufacturing Site during the Reconciliation Interval. However, if the Reconciliation Interval for the first or last Year comprises fewer than [*] ([*]) months, then the months comprising the Reconciliation Interval for the such Year will be combined with the [*] ([*]) months comprising the Reconciliation Interval (i) immediately following the first Year, or (ii) immediately preceding the last Year, as the case may be, for purposes of preparing the reconciliation report. AY is the percentage of the Quantity Dispensed that was converted to Products and is calculated as follows:
[*]
[*]
After Patheon has produced a minimum of [*] successful commercial production batches of all strengths of the Product combined and has produced commercial production batches for at least [*] months at the Manufacturing Site (collectively, the “Target Yield Determination Batches”), the Parties will mutually agree on the target yield for the Product at the Manufacturing Site (each, a “Target Yield”). The target yield determination batches shall not include any batches that in Patheon and the Client’s reasonable judgement were produced in production runs involving technical difficulties or involving extraordinary loss of Active Materials;
(b) | Shortfall Calculation. If the Actual Yield falls more than [*] percent below the respective Target Yield in a Reconciliation Interval, then the shortfall for the Reconciliation Interval (the “Shortfall”) will be calculated as follows: |
Shortfall = [*]
(c) | Credit for Shortfall. If there is a Shortfall for a Product in a Reconciliation Interval, then Patheon will credit Client’s account for the amount of the Shortfall not later than [*] days after the end of the Reconciliation Interval, provided that Patheon shall be entitled to an adjustment of the credited amount if the average Shortfall calculated over any [*] ([*]) consecutive Reconciliation Intervals in the same Year is less than or equal to [*] ([*]). |
[*] Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.
-10-
Standard Form
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 Client. The Shortfall, if any, will be disclosed by Patheon on the reconciliation report form. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event a Shortfall results from Patheon’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct, then Patheon shall reimburse Client for replacement cost of the API relating to such Shortfall.
(d) | Maximum Credit. Patheon’s liability for Active Materials calculated in accordance with this Section 2.2 [for any Product] in a Year will not exceed, in the aggregate, the Maximum Credit Value set forth in Schedule D. |
(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, but should an Actual Annual Yield be less than [*]% of the Target Yield, Patheon’s rights as the sole manufacturer of Products offered for sale by Client in the Territory shall automatically terminate.,. |

4.2 | Price Adjustments – Subsequent Years’ Pricing. |
After [*], Patheon may adjust the Price effective [*] of each Year as follows:
(a) | Manufacturing Costs. Patheon may adjust the Price [*]. On or about November 1st of each Year, Patheon will give Client a statement setting forth the calculation for the inflation adjustment to be applied in calculating the Price for the next Year. |
(b) | Component Costs. [*]. On or about November 1st of each Year, Patheon will give Client information about the increase or decrease in Component costs which will be applied to the calculation of the Price for the next Year to reasonably demonstrate that the Price increase is justified. But Patheon will not be required to give information to Client that is subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers. Following a Component cost increase under this section, Client shall have the right to source components from an alternative vendor whose prices are at least [*]% lower than Patheon’s vendors; however, Client shall bear the costs of any required validation, qualification, inspection or manufacturing changes related to the use of the Client’s alternative vendor. |
(c) | Pricing Basis. Client acknowledges that the Price in any Year is quoted based upon the Minimum Run Quantity and the price tiers specified in Schedule B. [*]. On or about November 1st of each Year, Patheon will give Client a statement setting forth the information to be applied in calculating those cost increases for the next Year. But Patheon will not be required to give information to Client that is subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers. |
(d) | Adjustments Due to Currency Fluctuations. Patheon will adjust the Price for all Product that is manufactured outside the United States or Puerto Rico to reflect currency fluctuations. The adjustment will be calculated after all other annual Price adjustments under this Section 4.2 have been made. The adjustment will proportionately reflect the increase or decrease, if any, in the Set Exchange Rate compared to the Set Exchange Rate established for the prior Year or the Initial Set Exchange Rate, as the case may be. An example of the calculation of the price adjustment is set forth in Schedule J. |
(e) | Cost Improvement Program. Patheon shall develop cost reduction initiatives related to the manufacturing process or Specifications 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 [*], unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing. 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 Client 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. |

For all Price adjustments under this Section 4.2, Patheon will deliver to Client on or about [*] a revised Schedule B to be 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 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 to an adjustment to the Price for any affected Product to compensate it 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.
For a Price adjustment under this Section 4.3, Patheon will deliver to Client a revised Schedule B and budgetary pricing information, adjusted Component costs or other documents reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that a Price adjustment is justified. Patheon will have no obligation to deliver any supporting documents that are subject to 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 Client’s receipt of the revised Schedule B.
(a) | Following a Component cost increase under this section, Client shall have the right to source components from an alternative vendor whose prices are at least [*]% lower than Patheon’s vendors; however, Client shall bear the costs of any required validation, qualification, inspection or manufacturing changes related to the use of the Client’s alternative vendor. |
4.4 | Adjustments Due to Technical Changes. |
Amendments to the Specifications or the Quality Agreement requested by Client will only be implemented following a technical and cost review by Patheon and are subject to Client and Patheon reaching agreement on Price changes required because of the amendment. If Client 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, Client agrees to purchase, at Patheon’s cost (limited to reasonable, documented, direct out-of-pocket costs for Components consumed in such batch, 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 Client. Patheon shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cancel such orders. Amendments to the Specifications, the Quality Agreement or the Manufacturing Site requested by Patheon will only be implemented following the written approval of Client, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
4.5 | Multi-Country Packaging Requirements. |
If Client decides to have Patheon perform Manufacturing Services for the Product for countries outside the Territory, then Client will inform Patheon of the packaging requirements for each new country and Patheon will prepare a quotation for consideration by Client 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.
4.6 | Books and Records |
Patheon will maintain complete and accurate books, records and accounts in connection with its manufacture and supply of Products to permit verification of payments made and obligations owed hereunder. Patheon will retain such books, records and account for a period of not less than [*] ([*]) years after the calendar year in which they are prepared, or for such longer period as may be required by Applicable Law.
4.7 | Financial Audit |
Client and its agents and designees will have the right to audit and inspect Patheon’s books, records, procedures, documentation and any other information relating to the Products, Active Materials, Manufacturing Services, reporting and other items under this Agreement. Such audit will be conducted upon at least [*] ([*]) days advanced written notice to Patheon and during Patheon’s normal business hours. Any undisputed amounts that are determined to be due and owing by one party to the other party following such audit will be paid within [*] ([*]) days thereafter. Client will bear the cost of such audit unless such audit discloses (i) a material breach of this Agreement by Patheon or (ii) an undisputed overpayment by Client arising out of the amounts incorrectly invoiced by Patheon during the audited period of more than [*]% of the amount due, in which event, Patheon will be liable for the cost of the audit and will reimburse Client for any overcharged amounts.
ARTICLE 5
ORDERS, SHIPMENT, INVOICING, PAYMENT
5.1 | Orders and Forecasts. |
(a) | Rolling [*] Month Forecast. When this Agreement is executed, Client will give Patheon a non-binding [*] month forecast of the volume of Product that Client expects to order in the first [*] months of commercial manufacture of the Product. This forecast will then be routinely updated by Client on or before the [*] day of each month on a rolling forward |

basis and will be known as the Product Forecast. Client will update the Product Forecast forthwith if it determines that the volumes estimated in the most recent Product Forecast have changed by more than [*]%. The most recent [*] month Product Forecast will prevail. |
(b) | Firm Orders for Initial Manufacturing Month. At least [*] months before the start of commercial manufacture of the Product, Client will update the Product Forecast for the first [*] months of manufacture of the Product (the “Initial Manufacturing Period”). The [*] of this updated Product Forecast (“Initial Manufacturing Month”) will constitute a firm written order in the form of a purchase order or otherwise (“First Firm Order”) by Client to purchase and, when accepted by Patheon, for Patheon to manufacture the quantity of the Product. Client 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. [*]. The parties agree that this payment will be considered liquidated damages for Patheon’s loss of manufacturing capacity due to the Client’s cancellation of manufacturing and will not be considered a penalty. If the First Firm Order is changed or adjusted as described above then the initial Product Forecast will also be adjusted as necessary. The cancellation rights in this section are subject to Client retaining responsibility for any costs or expenses actually incurred or irrevocably committed by Patheon under this Agreement before it received notice of the cancellation. |
(c) | Firm Orders Thereafter. After the Initial Manufacturing Month, on a rolling basis during the term of this Agreement, and on or before the [*] day of each month, Client will issue an updated Product Forecast and the first [*] months of that updated forecast will constitute a firm written order in the form of a purchase order or otherwise (“Firm Order”) by Client to purchase and, when accepted by Patheon, for Patheon to manufacture and deliver the agreed quantity of the Products on a date not less than [*] months from the first day of the month immediately following the date that the Firm Order is submitted. Firm Orders submitted to Patheon will specify Client’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. Upon Patheon’s acceptance of a Firm Order, the quantities of Products ordered will be firm and binding on Client and may not be reduced by Client. Each Firm Order that meets the Minimum Run Quantities shall be deemed automatically accepted upon Patheon’s receipt provided that the quantity ordered does not exceed the quantities set forth in the pricing schedule. |
(d) | [*] Year Forecast. On or before the [*] day of [*] of each Year, Client will give Patheon a written non-binding [*] forecast, broken down by quarters for the [*] years of the forecast, of the volume of each Product Client then anticipates will be required to be manufactured and delivered to Client during the [*]-year period (the “Extended Product Forecast”). |
(e) | Acceptance of Firm Order. As set forth above, each Firm Order that meets the Minimum Run Quantities shall be deemed automatically accepted upon Patheon’s receipt provided that the quantity ordered does not exceed the quantities set forth in the pricing schedule. Patheon will send an acknowledgement of such acceptance to Client within ten Business Days of its receipt of the Firm Order. The acknowledgement will include, subject to |

confirmation from the Client, the Delivery Date for the Product ordered. The Delivery Date may be amended by agreement of the Parties or as set forth in Sections 2.1(f) or 5.1(b). Patheon shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its acceptance of Firm Orders that do not meet the Minimum Run Quantities or that exceed quantities set forth in the Pricing Schedule, and shall send its acknowledgement of such acceptance as indicated above. Failure to provide such acknowledgement within [*] ([*]) days of receipt of the respective Firm Order shall be deemed an acceptance of such Firm Order by Patheon. |
5.2 | Reliance by Patheon. |
(a) | Client understands and acknowledges that Patheon will rely on the Firm Orders and Product Forecasts submitted under Sections 5.1(a), (b), and (c) in ordering the Components required to meet the Firm Orders. In addition, Client 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 Client. Accordingly, Client authorizes Patheon to purchase Components to satisfy the Manufacturing Services requirements for Products for the first [*] months contemplated in the most recent Product Forecast. Patheon may make other purchases of Components to meet Manufacturing Services requirements for longer periods if agreed to in writing by the parties. The Client will give Patheon written authorization to order Components for any launch quantities of Product requested by Client 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 Client within [*] 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 Client will pay to Patheon its reasonable, documented costs therefor (including all reasonable, documented costs incurred by Patheon for the purchase and handling of the Components). But if these Components are used in Products subsequently manufactured for Client or in third party products manufactured by Patheon, Client will receive credit for any reasonable, documented costs of those Components previously paid to Patheon by Client. |
(b) | If Client fails to take possession or arrange for the destruction of Components within [*] months of purchase or, in the case of finished Product, within [*] months of manufacture, Client 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 one pallet minimum charge per month. With the exception of validation batches, Patheon may ship finished Product held by it longer than [*] months to the facility designated by the Client, at Client’s expense on [*] days written notice to the Client. |
5.3 | Minimum Orders. |
Client 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 EXW (INCOTERMS 2000) Patheon’s shipping point unless otherwise mutually agreed. Risk of loss or of damage to Products will remain with Patheon until
[*] | Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC. |

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 Client. Patheon will, in accordance with Client’s instructions and as agent for Client, (i) arrange for shipping, including preparing and executing a packing list, so that the Product will be delivered to the delivery address on the delivery date set forth in the applicable Firm Order, with such shipping to be paid by Client and (ii) at Client’s risk and expense, obtain any export licence or other official authorization necessary to export the Products. Client 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 packed and transported in accordance with the Specifications.
5.5 | On Time Delivery. |
(a) | Patheon and the Client understand that there may be uncertainties and necessary adjustments in production schedules during the Initial Manufacturing Period. The parties agree that they will work together closely to expedite deliveries and manage the scheduling of the initial Product launch. |
(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 due to an act or omission by Patheon (a “Late Delivery”), Client will receive a credit from Patheon for the Late Delivery that will be applied against the purchase price under the next Firm Order. The credit will be [*] % of the Price of the quantities of Product not delivered by Patheon under the Firm Order on the Delivery Date (i.e., Client Credit = [*]). |
(c) | [*] Late Delivery will not be a material breach of this Agreement by Patheon for the purposes of Section 8.2, unless Patheon fails to deliver the accepted firm order for [*] days, in which case it may be considered a failure to supply and a material breach of the Agreement. [*] Late Deliveries of more than [*] days past the agreed delivery for accepted Firm Orders within a [*] month period shall also constitute a material breach. |
(d) | 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, delays due to out of specification investigations, a delay in Product release approval from Client, inaccurate Client forecasts, receipt of non-conforming API or Components supplied by Client, or any market driven delays in deliveries from approved vendors. |
(e) | Patheon shall notify the Client immediately when it becomes aware of a possible Late Delivery occurring more than [*] ([*]) days after the expected delivery date. Failure to notify Client may be considered a material breach of this agreement for the purposes of Section 8.2, |
5.6 | Invoices and Payment. |
Invoices will be sent by fax or email to the fax number or email address given by Client to Patheon in writing. Invoices will be sent when the Product is manufactured and title is transferred to the Client. Patheon will also submit to Client, with each shipment of Products, a duplicate copy of the invoice covering the shipment. Patheon will also give Client an invoice covering any Inventory or Components which are to be purchased by Client under Section 5.2 of this Agreement. Each invoice will, to the extent applicable, identify Client’s Manufacturing Services purchase order number, Product numbers, names

and quantities, unit price, freight charges, and the total amount to be paid by Client. Client will pay all undisputed invoices within 30 days of the date the invoice is sent to the Client. Interest on past due undisputed amounts will accrue at [*]% per month. The Late Delivery credits set forth in this Section 5 are only available to Client if all outstanding undisputed invoices have been paid in full or are within [*] days outstanding from the invoice date when the Late Delivery arose.
5.7 | Failure to Supply |
In the event, with respect to any particular Product, (i) Patheon cannot or does not, in any calendar month, supply on a timely basis supply at least [*]% of Client’s requirements for such Product, (ii) any facility involved in the manufacture or storage of such Product hereunder is prohibited from, or materially adversely affected in its ability to, produce, store, or otherwise be in involved in the provision of such Product to Client under this Agreement by the appropriate regulatory authorities or due to such failure to comply, (iii) Patheon’s receipt, within any six-month period, of more than one Form 483, warning letters or similar document from a regulatory authority relating to the manufacturing facility or Patheon’s quality systems which may indicate chronic or systematic quality problems at Patheon that could adversely impact Patheon’s ability to supply the Products or (iv) Client properly rejects Products in accordance with Section 6.1(a) and such rejection materially adversely affects Client’s ability to sell the relevant Product, then in addition to, and without limitation of, any legal or equitable remedies available to Client as a result of any breach of this Agreement by Patheon, all rights with respect to such Product shall become nonexclusive, and Client shall be free to engage a third party manufacturer or supplier of such Product (or replacement products) or manufacture it directly upon prior written notice to, but without such prior written consent of, Patheon and Patheon shall be deemed to have licensed to Client the manufacturing rights reasonably necessary to provide for such manufacture. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all reasonable direct costs and expenses incurred by Client in connection with having such Product (or replacement products) manufactured and acquired, less the amount that Client would have paid to Patheon hereunder for such Product had Patheon complied with the terms of this Agreement, shall be borne by Patheon and paid to Client within ten (10) days of demand therefor by Client.
ARTICLE 6
PRODUCT CLAIMS AND RECALLS
6.1 | Product Claims. |
(a) | Product Claims. Client has the right to reject and return any portion of any shipment of Products that deviates from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws without invalidating any remainder of the shipment. Client or its designated representative, will inspect the Products manufactured by Patheon 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 Client’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 Client, but not after the expiration date of the Product). Should Client fail to give Patheon the Deficiency Notice within the applicable 30 day period, then the delivery will be deemed to have been accepted by Client 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. |
[*] | Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC. |
-18-
Standard Form
(b) | Determination of Deficiency. Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Patheon will have ten days to advise Client by notice in writing that it disagrees with the contents of the Deficiency Notice. If Client and Patheon fail to agree within ten days after Patheon’s notice to Client as to whether any Products identified in the Deficiency Notice deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, then the parties will use a mutually approved independent laboratory 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, Client may reject and return 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 Client will be deemed to have accepted delivery of the Products on the date the evaluation is delivered by the independent laboratory to the parties and Client will be responsible for the cost of the evaluation. With respect to any Products which Patheon agrees are deficient in accordance with the Deficiency Notice, or which are otherwise found to be deficient by the independent laboratory, Client will be entitled to the remedies set forth in Section 6.3(a). |
(c) | Shortages. Claims for shortages in the amount of Products shipped by Patheon will be dealt with by reasonable agreement of the parties. |
6.2 | Product Recalls and Returns. |
(a) | Records and Notice. Patheon and Client will each maintain records necessary to permit a Recall of any Products delivered to Client or customers of Client. 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 Client. “Recall” will mean any action (i) by Client 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) Client 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 Client, having regard to all applicable laws and regulations. |
(c) | Product Returns. Client will have the responsibility for handling customer returns of the Products. Patheon will give Client any assistance that Client may reasonably require to handle the returns. |
6.3 | Patheon’s Responsibility for Defective and Recalled Products. |
(a) | Defective Product. If Client 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 Client’s account for Patheon’s invoice price for the defective Products the (“Defective Product Credit Amount”). If Client previously paid for the defective Products, Patheon will promptly, at Client’s election, either: (i) refund the Defective Product Credit Amount; (ii) offset the Defective Product Credit Amount against other amounts due to |
-19-
Standard Form
Patheon hereunder; or (iii) replace the Products with conforming Products without Client being liable for payment therefor under Section 3.1, contingent upon the receipt from Client of all Active Materials required for the manufacture of the replacement Products. For greater certainty, Patheon’s responsibility for any loss of Active Materials in defective Product will be captured and calculated in the Active Materials Yield under Section 2.2. |
(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 promptly, at Client’s election, either: (i) refund the invoice price for such Recalled or returned Products (the “ Recalled Product Credit Amount “); (ii) offset such Recalled Product Credit Amount against other amounts due to Patheon hereunder; or (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to replace the Recalled or returned Products with new Products, contingent upon the receipt from Client of all Active Materials required for the manufacture of the replacement Products. A recall arising out of Patheon’s gross negligence, intentional misconduct, Patheon’s failure to follow cGMP or ICH guidelines is considered a material breach, and in such an event Client shall have the option to terminate the contract without the Remediation Period described in section 8.2(a). For greater certainty, Patheon’s responsibility for any loss of Active Materials in Recalled Product will be captured and calculated in the Active Materials 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 Active Materials), then Client may request Patheon to reimburse Client for the price that Client paid to Patheon for Manufacturing Services for the affected Products. In all other circumstances, Recalls, returns, or other corrective actions will be made at Client’s cost and expense. |
(c) | Except as set forth in Sections 6.3(a) and (b) above, Patheon will not be liable to Client nor have any responsibility to Client 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 set forth in the Specifications, (iii) results from a defect in the Active Materials or Components supplied by Client that is not reasonably discoverable by Patheon using the test methods set forth in 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 Client of its obligations under this Agreement. |
6.4 | Disposition of Defective or Recalled Products. |
Client 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 Client 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 and will promptly reimburse Client for any such costs which may be incurred directly by Client. In all other circumstances, Client will bear the cost of disposition, including all applicable fees for Manufacturing Services, for any damaged, defective, returned, or Recalled Products. In all other circumstances, Client 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. |
Client will have the sole responsibility for responding to questions and complaints from its customers. Questions or complaints received by Patheon from Client’s customers, healthcare providers or patients will be promptly (but in any event, within one business day) referred to Client. Patheon will co-operate as reasonably required to allow Client 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 Client all mutually agreed upon information that will enable Client 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 Client.
6.6 | Sole Remedy. |
Except for the indemnity set forth in Section 10.3, the recovery of direct damages, the recovery of damages for breaches of Article 11 hereof and subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 10.1 and 10.2, the remedies described in this Article 6 will be Client’s sole remedy for any failure by Patheon to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws.

The relationship managers will meet not less than quarterly to review the current status of the business relationship and manage any issues that have arisen.
7.2 | Governmental Agencies. |
Subject to Section 7.8, 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 communications from the agency.
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 Client will be contacted concerning the delivery and destruction of the documents and/or samples of Products. Client is responsible for retaining samples of the Products necessary to comply with the legal/regulatory requirements applicable to Client.

Patheon will notify Client by telephone and e-mail within one business day of any notice of any proposed or announced inspections, and as soon as possible (but in any case within after any unannounced inspection, by any Authority relating to the Products. Patheon will provide the Client with a reasonable description in writing of each such inspection promptly (but in no event later than five calendar days) thereafter, and with copies of any Authority-issued inspection observation reports (including, without limitation, Form 483s and equivalent forms from other regulatory bodies) and Authority correspondence, purged only of third party confidential information. Patheon will also notify Client of receipt of any other form 483’s or warning letters or any other significant regulatory action which Patheon’s quality assurance group determines could impact the regulatory status of the Products. Patheon and Client will cooperate in resolving any concerns with any Authority, and the Client may review Patheon’s responses to any such reports and communications, and Patheon will in its reasonable discretion incorporate into such responses any comments received from the Client. Patheon will also inform the Client of any action taken by any Authority against Patheon or any of its officers or employees which may be reasonably expected to adversely affect the Products or Patheon’s ability to supply the Products hereunder within two Business Days after the action is taken.

Patheon will assist Client, to the extent consistent with Patheon’s obligations under this Agreement, to obtain Regulatory Authority approval for the commercial manufacture of all Products as quickly as reasonably possible. |
(b) | Verification of Data. At least 21 days prior to filing any documents with any Regulatory Authority that incorporate data generated by Patheon, Client will give Patheon a copy of the documents incorporating this data to give Patheon the opportunity to verify the accuracy and regulatory validity of those documents as they relate to Patheon generated data. |
(c) | Verification of CMC. At least 21 days prior to filing with any Regulatory Authority any documentation which is or is equivalent to the FDA’s Chemistry and Manufacturing Controls (“CMC”) related to any Marketing Authorization, such as a New Drug Application or Abbreviated New Drug Application, Client will give Patheon a copy of the CMC as well as all supporting documents which have been relied upon to prepare the CMC that directly relate to Patheon data or processes and have not been previously reviewed by Patheon. This disclosure will permit Patheon to verify that the CMC accurately describes the work that Patheon has performed and the manufacturing processes that Patheon will perform under this Agreement. Client will give Patheon copies of all applicable CMC sections of FDA filings at the time of submission, for submissions which contain CMC information regarding the Product. |
(d) | Deficiencies. If, in Patheon’s sole discretion, acting reasonably, Patheon determines that any of the information given by Client under clauses (b) and (c) above is inaccurate or deficient in any manner whatsoever (the “Deficiencies”), Patheon will notify Client in writing of the Deficiencies within the 21 day timeframe provision. The parties will meet to discuss any deficiencies and work together to have the Deficiencies resolved prior to any pre-approval inspection, provided that to the extent of any disagreement concerning the form or content any information or submissions covered by subsections (b) and (c) above, Client will have the final decision-making authority. |
(e) | Client 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 Client 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 Client. |
(f) | Inspection by Regulatory Authorities. If Client 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. |

REMEDIES AND INDEMNITIES
10.1 | Consequential Damages. |
Under no circumstances whatsoever will either party be liable to the other in contract, tort, negligence, breach of statutory duty, or otherwise for (i) any (direct or indirect) loss of profits, of production, of anticipated savings, of business, or goodwill or (ii) for any other liability, damage, costs, or expense of any kind incurred by the other party of an indirect or consequential nature, regardless of any notice of the possibility of these damages.

10.4 | Client. |
Client 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, or relating to (i) any claim of infringement or alleged infringement of any Third Party Rights in the Products, or any portion thereof; (ii) 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 Client, 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.
10.5 | Procedure. |
If a claim occurs for which a party has an indemnification obligation under Section 10.3 or 10.4, the indemnified party (the “ Indemnitee “) will: (a) promptly notify the indemnifying party (the “ Indemnitor “) in writing of the claim; (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the claim; (c) reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor in the defense of the claim; and (d) permit the Indemnitor to control the defense and settlement of the claim, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, all at the Indemnitor’s cost and expense. If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnitee may participate in such defense with the Indemnitee’s own counsel who will be retained, at the Indemnitee’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, that neither the Indemnitor nor the Indemnitee will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the claim without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnitee withholds consent in respect of a judgment or settlement involving only the payment of money by the Indemnitor and which would not involve any stipulation or admission of liability or result in the Indemnitee becoming subject to injunctive relief or other relief, the Indemnitor will have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnitee within five (5) days after receipt of the Indemnitee’s written denial of consent, to pay to the Indemnitee, or to a trust for its or the applicable third party’s benefit, such amount established by such judgment or settlement in addition to all interest, costs or other charges relating thereto, together with all attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred to such date for which the Indemnitor is obligated under this Agreement, if any, at which time the Indemnitor’s rights and obligations with respect to such claim will cease. The Indemnitor will not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a claim by the Indemnitee which is reached without the written consent of the Indemnitor, acting reasonably.
10.6 | 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 Client has developed and holds the marketing approval for the Products, Client requires Patheon to manufacture and label the Products strictly in accordance with the Specifications, and Client, not Patheon, is best positioned to inform and advise potential users about the circumstances and manner of use of the Products.

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 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 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 13.15.
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.

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 ADR Xxxxxxxx who will be a retired judge of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice or 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 Arbitration Act (Ontario) 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 between the parties save this if the existing expert renders his decision with full reasons |
Standard Form
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.
