2. | SUPPLY OF PRODUCT. |
2.1 | Agreement to Supply. |
(a) | Supply. During the Term of each Product Addendum, Manufacturer shall manufacture and supply Product to Customer for the Territory pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the applicable Product Addendum. |
(b) | The terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to be incorporated into each Product Addendum that may be executed by the Parties and/or one or more of their respective Affiliates. Each Product Addendum constitutes a separate and distinct agreement from this Agreement and from any other Product Addendum. In addition, each Product Addendum may designate certain Products thereunder as “Tolling” Products (each a “Tolling Product”), and the provisions of Section 10 of such Product Addendum shall apply solely with respect to such Tolling Products. An Affiliate of Pfizer or Zoetis may execute a Product Addendum and, in such circumstances, all references in this Agreement (as incorporated in such Product Addendum) to Manufacturer shall be deemed to be to the applicable Person designated therein as Manufacturer and all references in this Agreement (as incorporated in such Product Addendum) to Customer shall be deemed to be to the applicable Person designated therein as Customer and all references in this Agreement (as incorporated in such Product Addendum) to a Party shall be deemed to be the applicable Manufacturer or Customer, as applicable, each of which shall be entitled to enforce the agreement constituted by such Product Addendum in its own name and shall be solely liable to the other Party for any obligations and liabilities undertaken thereunder, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, where an Affiliate of Zoetis is the Customer or Manufacturer under a Product Addendum, Zoetis hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees and shall be directly liable to Pfizer and its Affiliate(s) that are party thereto for any and all obligations and liabilities of such Affiliate under such Product Addendum (including the terms of this Agreement as incorporated in such Product Addendum). For clarity, |
7
any party to a Product Addendum that will be an Affiliate of Zoetis as of the Separation Date shall be deemed to be an Affiliate of Zoetis as of the Product Addendum Effective Date. In the event of a conflict between the terms of any Product Addendum and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail, except to the extent that the applicable Product Addendum expressly and specifically states an intent to supersede this Agreement on a specific matter. Any amendment to the terms of this Agreement contained in a Product Addendum shall be effective solely with respect to the terms of this Agreement as incorporated in such Product Addendum, and not to the terms of this Agreement or the terms of any other Product Addendum. Any amendment to the terms of this Agreement shall be effective for all Product Addenda, unless such amendment or Product Addendum specifies otherwise. |
(c) | Non-Exclusivity; No Minimum Purchase Obligation. The Product under this Agreement shall be provided on a non-exclusive basis and Customer reserves the right to manufacture the Product for itself and to purchase the Product and similar products from any other party; provided that, for clarity, the foregoing shall be without limitation to any other agreement between the Parties or their respective Affiliates or the Intellectual Property rights of a Party or its Affiliates. Customer is not obligated to purchase any minimum or specific quantity or dollar amount of Product under this Agreement. |
2.2 | Use of Facility, Equipment, Molds and Tooling. |
For each Product, Manufacturer shall perform all manufacturing activities and all storage activities at the Facilities. Manufacturer may use other facilities for the manufacture and storage of Products under any Product Addendum, and such Product Addendum shall be deemed to be amended accordingly, provided that:
(i) | such facilities have been approved for such manufacture by all applicable Governmental Authorities; and |
(ii) | Manufacturer shall have obtained the prior written consent of Customer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Manufacturer shall promptly notify Customer of its intent to use such alternate facilities, as far in advance as is reasonably practicable. |
2.3 | Capacity. |
Manufacturer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to devote adequate manufacturing capacity to be capable of manufacturing and supplying Product to Customer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that Manufacturer shall not be required to purchase any new equipment, install any equipment purchased or requested by Customer or add (or, for clarity, allocate or dedicate) any additional manufacturing or storage capacity for the
8
manufacturing and other activities to be carried out by Manufacturer hereunder. If Manufacturer agrees to provide additional capacity it shall be provided at the Customer’s expense including any costs associated with the write-off of abandoned assets related to the project.
2.4 | Forecasts and Orders. |
(a) | Forecasts. |
(i) | With respect to MTO Products: By the fifth (5th) Business Day of each calendar month during the Term, Customer (or Customer’s designee on behalf of Customer) shall submit a rolling forecast by Product of Customer’s anticipated demand of such Product for the next twenty-four (24) consecutive months, commencing with the month in which such forecast is sent (each, an “MTO Forecast”). The MTO Forecast shall show demand on a monthly basis, and for the first three months shall state the dates of delivery for such Product. Without limiting Section 2.4(b) each MTO Forecast, including the required delivery dates, is non-binding. In the event that Manufacturer has failed to receive an updated MTO Forecast by the fifth (5th) Business Day of any calendar month, Manufacturer shall notify Customer of such failure and, if Customer has not responded with an updated MTO Forecast by the tenth (10th) Business Day of such month, the most recent MTO Forecast shall be regarded as current. |
(ii) | With respect to VMR Products: Customer shall provide Manufacturer access to Customer’s demand management system (e.g., Manugistics) for the purpose of managing supply to, and determining the forecasts for, Customer’s markets according to Planned Arrivals (as such term is used therein) calculated by the system in accordance with replenishment parameters agreed in writing between Customer and Manufacturer in the applicable Product Addendum and in the Supply Chain Agreement (including as may be listed in Exhibit D and as such parameters may be provided, updated and revised by mutual written agreement of the Parties from time to time) (the “Supply Chain Agreement”, and each such forecast, a “VMR Forecast”), and Manufacturer shall schedule production of such Product and delivery of such Product to Customer in accordance with such derived VMR Forecasts and the applicable Product lead times set forth in the applicable Product Addendum. Manufacturer shall confirm all such Product shipments via the replenishment planning system according to the Supply Chain Agreement parameters and the parameters in the applicable Product Addendum. |
9
(iii) | With respect to any Product designated as a “Biological” in the applicable Product Addendum, the first six (6) month period of each Forecast with respect thereto shall be binding, and the corresponding portion of each subsequent Forecast shall be consistent with such period. |
(iv) | Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties agree that certain Supply Chain Agreement parameters and replenishment parameters in the Product Addendum may not be available and included in Exhibit D or such Product Addendum as of the Effective Date and shall be included therein prior to the IPO Closing by written approval of each Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. |
(b) | Orders. Manufacturer shall provide Product to Customer pursuant to Purchase Orders issued by Customer to Manufacturer. For each Purchase Order: |
(i) | With respect to MTO Products: Manufacturer shall provide to Customer such quantities of Products as may be ordered by Customer pursuant to such Purchase Orders, up to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) (or such lower percentage as may be specified in the applicable Product Addendum) of the quantity set forth in the most recent MTO Forecast for the applicable time period. In the event that Customer orders quantities of Product above one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) (or such lower percentage as may be specified in the applicable Product Addendum) of the quantity set forth in the most recent MTO Forecast for the applicable time period (such quantities above 125% (or such lower percentage as may be specified in the applicable Product Addendum) referred to as “Additional Quantities”), Manufacturer shall use its commercially reasonably efforts to meet Customer’s requested quantities and delivery dates for such Additional Quantities as set forth in the applicable Purchase Order. For purposes of this Section 2.4(b), the most recent MTO Forecast for any given month shall mean the MTO Forecast submitted by Customer in the month prior to the month in which the applicable Purchase Order is issued. Customer will issue Purchase Orders for MTO Product no later than ninety (90) calendar days (or such longer time period as may be specified in the applicable Product Addendum) prior to the required shipping date. |
(ii) | With respect to VMR Products: Manufacturer shall issue a purchase requisition using Customer’s demand management system, and promptly following receipt thereof, Customer shall issue binding Purchase Orders for each confirmed shipment of |
10
VMR Product that conforms to the replenishment parameters set forth in the Supply Chain Agreement and the applicable Product Addendum. Manufacturer shall supply VMR Product to Customer pursuant to such Purchase Orders. Customer shall not be obligated to issue such Purchase Orders or to accept any deliveries for any shipments which do not conform to the replenishment parameters set forth in the Supply Chain Agreement and the applicable Product Addendum. For the purposes of clarity, a confirmed shipment shall be considered to be conforming to the replenishment parameters when it is based on the demand and inventory data available on the date that the net requirements are derived, taking into account the applicable lead time as set forth in the Supply Chain Agreement and the applicable Product Addendum, and Manufacturer shall not be responsible for changes in such data between such date and the date that the shipment is confirmed by Manufacturer. Manufacturer agrees that all Customer data provided to or obtained by Manufacturer pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed Confidential Information of Customer, and Manufacturer shall only use such data in order to perform its obligations under this Agreement. |
(c) | Order Quantities. Without limiting Section 2.1(c), minimum order quantities shall be identified in the applicable Product Addendum. Promptly following receipt of a Purchase Order, Manufacturer shall acknowledge receipt of said Purchase Order and confirm (in writing, including by email) its ability to manufacture, package and supply such Product to Customer in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Order, including delivering such Product by the date of delivery. Manufacturer shall deliver all Product so ordered on the requested delivery date (or such alternate delivery date as may be mutually agreed by the Parties as provided in this Section 2.4(c)). In the event Manufacturer will not be able to fulfill such Purchase Order in accordance with the terms herein, Manufacturer shall notify Customer in writing promptly upon becoming aware of such inability and in any event at least five (5) calendar days prior to the delivery date of such Purchase Order, and the Parties will discuss alternate delivery dates in good faith with a view to reaching agreement thereto, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld by either Party.

(b) | Manufacturer shall include certificates of compliance and certificates of analysis with all shipments of Product. |
(c) | Title to Product shall pass to Customer when the Product has been delivered to Customer pursuant to Section 2.5(a) unless otherwise specified by mutual written agreement of the Parties. |
2.6 | Procurement of Materials. |
(a) | Manufacturer shall order sufficient quantities of all Product Materials (except Customer-Supplied Materials) to enable Manufacturer to manufacture and deliver Product in accordance with Customer’s Forecasts. The costs of all Product Materials shall be included in the Price for the Product as provided in Section 3.1. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses relating to designing and changing any artwork used in connection with the Product and its packaging, and any changes to such artwork shall be conducted in accordance with the processes used as of the Effective Date for changing such artwork. Customer shall be liable for excess or obsolete Product Materials (including Customer-Supplied Materials) purchased by Manufacturer to the extent the excess or obsolescence is caused by any: (i) change to, or cancellation of, a firm Purchase Order, (ii) Forecast variations (or, for clarity, any variation between a Forecast hereunder and a forecast applicable to the relevant Products prior to the Effective Date), (iii) without limiting Section 4.3, change to the Specifications or the specifications of such Product Materials after such Product Materials have been purchased by Manufacturer based upon a Customer firm Purchase Order or a Forecast quantity with respect to the binding portion of such Forecast, as applicable, or (iv) without limiting Section 2.4(a)(iii), with respect to any VMR Product, reduction in the quantity of such Product as specified in a VMR Forecast relative to the quantity of such Product that was specified in any previous VMR Forecast with respect to the same time period. In addition, Customer shall be liable for excess or obsolete Product Materials (including Customer-Supplied Materials) owned by Manufacturer prior to the applicable Product Addendum Effective Date. Customer shall reimburse Manufacturer for such excess or obsolescence described in this Section 2.6(a) on a quarterly basis within sixty (60) days following receipt of Manufacturer’s invoice therefor. |
12
(b) | Without limiting the foregoing, at the end of the Term of each Product Addendum, Customer will purchase at cost any excess inventory of Product Materials, including any unique materials used to support production for Customer, and any works in process related to Products, in each case in accordance with Section 11.5(b), and any long lead time items (as specified in a Product Addendum) previously procured by Manufacturer (regardless of whether so procured in order to fulfill obligations under an existing Purchase Order). |
(c) | The Parties agree that Manufacturer is responsible for, and shall administer, the procurement of such Product Materials (except Customer-Supplied Materials) in accordance with the terms herein, which responsibilities shall include: transporting, inspecting and storing the Product Materials; maintaining systems for material management; maintaining adequate supplies of Product Materials, to the extent required hereunder; and supplier and logistics management, in each case in accordance with the terms herein. If there is a failure to supply issue with a supplier as a result of a Force Majeure Event or a supplier selected by Customer fails to deliver the appropriate quantity and quality of Product Materials multiple times within the span of four consecutive orders, without limiting Section 16.5, Manufacturer shall so notify Customer in writing of such supply issue and if Customer concurs that such supplier is continuously failing to fulfill its obligations to Manufacturer, and unless Manufacturer requests otherwise, Customer shall, to the extent practicable, attempt to have a discussion with such supplier in an effort to resolve the issue. Customer shall have no obligations to continue discussions with such supplier following the initial discussion or after such offer of an initial discussion, if such supplier refused such discussion. |
2.7 | Product Samples. |
Manufacturer shall provide Customer (or any such other Person as Customer shall designate) with representative lot samples of each production batch of Product promptly upon request. Customer shall be entitled to review, upon reasonable prior written notice, all manufacturing records relating to such samples including all analytical procedures and cleaning validation relating to the equipment used in connection with the manufacture of the samples. Such Product samples shall be shipped to Customer (or such other Person as Customer shall designate) in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.5 hereof, or as otherwise instructed by Customer. Customer shall pay for such samples (including all applicable shipping costs) when invoiced in accordance with Section 3.2 hereof.
3. | PRICE; PAYMENT; TAXES. |
3.1 | Purchase Price. |
Customer shall purchase the Product from Manufacturer at the Price therefor and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. During the Term of each Product Addendum, the Price shall be equivalent to the product of: (x) the Standard Cost
13
of such Product during the then-current Financial Year, multiplied by (y) the then-current markup to such Standard Cost as set forth in Exhibit E-1 (which markup, for clarity, may change during a Financial Year currently in progress as set forth in Exhibit E-1). As used herein, “Standard Cost” means, with respect to each Product, all direct and indirect costs and expenses associated with the manufacturing and delivery of such Product, per quantity unit of such Product, calculated using the cost accounting methodology that is used at the applicable Facility during the applicable Financial Year (without limiting Section 3.2(c)), including all: (i) costs of Product Materials, labor, and other direct and indirect variable costs; (ii) costs of equipment pools; (iii) depreciation; and (iv) costs of plant operations and plant support services (including utilities, maintenance, engineering, safety, human resources, finance, plant management and other similar activities, as well as allocations to the Facility for center support and shipping costs to a finished goods warehouse of Customer or its Affiliates). The Standard Cost of each Product during the initial Financial Year during the Term of each Product Addendum is set forth in such Product Addendum, and Manufacturer shall notify Customer of, and such Product Addendum shall be deemed to be updated to include, the Standard Cost during the second Financial Year during such Term reasonably promptly following Manufacturer’s determination thereof.
3.2 | Annual Price Adjustments to Reflect Future Budgeted Standard Costs. |
(a) | Annual Standard Cost Review. The Standard Cost of each Product shall be reviewed by the Manufacturer annually to determine the budgeted change thereof during the coming Financial Year. In order to facilitate Customer’s and Manufacturer’s relevant planning processes, multiple communications will occur between Customer and Manufacturer with respect to such Standard Cost reasonably promptly following Manufacturer’s determination thereof (and, to the extent reasonably practicable, according to the schedule set forth in Exhibit E-2). Without limiting Section 3.3 (or the Price markup as set forth in Exhibit E-1), the Price shall be automatically adjusted for the coming Financial Year to reflect such budgeted change in the Standard Cost thereof, subject to clause (b) below. |
(b) | Audit Right. Only such an adjustment pursuant to clause (a) above that, on a Facility-by-Facility basis, would result in an increase of greater than five percent (5%) in the aggregate Standard Cost during the coming Financial Year relative to the then-current Financial Year of all Products manufactured at such Facility shall be subject to review under Section 3.4. |
(c) | Changes to the Standard Cost Methodology. Manufacturer shall have the right to change the Standard Cost methodology once per Financial Year on a generally applicable basis with respect to each Facility. If Manufacturer elects to change the Standard Cost methodology, Manufacturer shall, on a pro-forma basis, (a) calculate both (x) the revised Standard Cost using the |
14
methodology effective during the current Financial Year of the Term of the applicable Product Addendum and (y) the percentage change in Standard Cost, calculated on a Facility-by-Facility basis, caused by the change in methodology relative to such initial methodology, and (b) apply such percentage, on a Facility-by-Facility basis, to the Standard Cost calculated using the changed methodology so as to approximate the Standard Cost that would have applied to Customer had such change in the Standard Cost methodology not taken place. |
3.3 | True-Up to Reflect Actual Standard Costs. |
(a) | No later than thirty (30) days following the end of each Financial Year during the Term of this Agreement, Manufacturer shall calculate, on a Facility-by-Facility basis, the Volume Variance and Purchase Price Variance with respect to such Financial Year for each such Facility. As used herein: |
(i) | “Purchase Price Variance” means the result of calculating, on a Product Material-by-Product Material basis, (x) the difference between the Standard Costs budgeted to be incurred in connection with purchasing or otherwise obtaining such Product Material (as budgeted in accordance with Section 3.2(a)) and the actual costs incurred in connection with purchasing or otherwise obtaining such Product Material, multiplied by (y) the total quantity of such Product Material purchased or otherwise obtained with respect to each applicable Product, and aggregating the result over all Products manufactured at the applicable Facility during the applicable Financial Year. |
(ii) | “Volume Variance” means the result of calculating, on a Product-by-Product basis, (x) the difference between the quantities of Product budgeted to be manufactured and the actual quantities of Product manufactured, multiplied by (y) the budgeted per-unit absorption rate of such Product (as budgeted in accordance with Section 3.2(a)), and aggregating the result over all Products manufactured at the applicable Facility during the applicable Financial Year, provided that (A) each calculated Volume Variance shall be reduced by a Facility-specific allowance for variable costs as determined by Manufacturer for each Financial Year and communicated to Customer, and (B) Customer shall not be responsible for Manufacturer’s failure to manufacture Product. As used herein, the “absorption rate” represents, with respect to the applicable Product, all budgeted Standard Cost elements less Product Material components thereof, as calculated in each case by Manufacturer. |
(b) | With respect to each Facility, Manufacturer shall notify Customer of any calculated underpayment or overpayment, as applicable, and Customer |
15
shall make payment to Manufacturer in the amount of any calculated underpayment, or Manufacturer shall make payment to Customer in the amount of any calculated overpayment, as applicable, within sixty (60) days of such notice, provided that the foregoing in each case shall apply only if and to the extent that either one or each of the Purchase Price Variance or Volume Variance with respect to such Facility individually exceeds a threshold of five percent (5%) of the applicable budgeted value relevant to the calculation of such Purchase Price Variance or Volume Variance, as applicable. Any such payment by Customer shall be subject to review under Section 3.4. |
(c) | For purposes of clarity, examples of the calculations described in this Section 3.3 are provided in Exhibit E-4. |
3.4 | Price Review and Audit Procedure. |
Manufacturer shall maintain complete and accurate books and records that fairly reflect the Standard Costs of each Product and shall retain such books and records for a period of not less than two (2) years after the applicable Product was manufactured and delivered hereunder. With respect to any Standard Cost increase under Section 3.2 or required payment under Section 3.3 that in each case is subject to review under this Section 3.4, if Customer requests such a review in writing within thirty (30) days following notice to Customer of such increase or payment (as applicable): (i) the Parties shall reasonably discuss and attempt to resolve any disagreement with respect thereto, and (ii) if such disagreement is not resolved within thirty (30) days following commencement of such discussions, Customer shall have the right, on no less than thirty (30) days’ notice to Manufacturer, to appoint a reputable and internationally recognized independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Manufacturer to audit such relevant books and records, during normal business hours and on a confidential basis, to verify that the (i) with respect to Section 3.3, Volume Variance and/or Purchase Price Variance, as applicable, during the preceding Financial Year or (ii) with respect to Section 3.2, budgeted change in the Standard Cost for the coming Financial Year, as applicable, was accurately calculated by Manufacturer in accordance with this Article 3. Customer shall bear all costs and expenses of conducting such an audit, and such accounting firm shall work on an hourly or flat fee basis without a contingency fee or other performance or bonus fee. Such accounting firm shall provide in writing (i) a detailed report of such audit to Manufacturer and (ii) the applicable Standard Cost(s) as calculated by such accounting firm in accordance with this Article 3 to Manufacturer and Customer (provided that, for clarity, the Standard Cost methodology shall not be subject to audit). The Standard Cost(s) as calculated by such accounting firm absent manifest error shall be binding upon the Parties with respect to such increase or required payment, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Customer shall have no right to dispute or request review of any Price or calculation thereof or change thereto, except as provided in this Section 3.4.
16
3.5 | Invoices and Payment. |
Manufacturer shall submit invoices to Customer upon shipment of Product to the address set forth in the applicable Purchase Order. Customer shall be obligated to pay only for actual quantities of Product delivered. Subject to the following sentence, Customer shall pay all amounts due in U.S. Dollars (unless another currency is specified in the applicable Product Addendum) within sixty (60) calendar days from the date of invoice. Payment by Customer shall not constitute a waiver of any of its rights under this Agreement.
3.6 | Taxes. |
(a) | The Price includes all taxes except such sales and use taxes which Manufacturer is required by law to collect from Customer and except VAT. Such VAT and taxes, if any, will be payable in addition to the Price. Where Manufacturer is required by law to collect and/or account for such VAT and taxes from Customer, such VAT and taxes will be separately stated in Manufacturer’s invoice and will be paid by Customer to Manufacturer unless Customer provides an exemption to Manufacturer and, in the case of VAT, subject to Manufacturer providing a valid VAT invoice to Customer in the form and manner required by law to allow Customer to recover such VAT (to the extent Customer is allowed to do so by law). |
(b) | Except where Customer is required by applicable Law to account for any VAT to the applicable Governmental Authority: |
(i) | Manufacturer shall be solely responsible for the timely payment of all such VAT and taxes to the applicable Governmental Authority; and |
(ii) | Manufacturer shall pay (without reimbursement by Customer), and shall hold Customer harmless against, any penalties, interest or additional VAT or taxes that may be levied or assessed as a result of the failure or delay of Manufacturer to pay any such VAT and taxes, except to the extent that such failure or delay of Manufacturer is caused by a failure or delay of Customer to pay such VAT and taxes to Manufacturer (in which case Customer shall reimburse Manufacturer for any related penalties, interest or additional VAT or taxes). |
(c) | Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 3.6, Customer shall be responsible for the payment of all duties, tariffs, VAT, taxes and other charges payable on the exportation or importation of the Products. Without limiting any of Manufacturer’s obligations hereunder, Manufacturer shall cooperate with and assist Customer in all aspects of the shipment, exportation, importation and delivery process in order to ensure |
17
the expeditious delivery of the Product to the designated delivery point, including assisting in obtaining any documents that may be required, provided that Customer shall reimburse Manufacturer for its out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith as Manufacturer may invoice to Customer in writing, which invoices shall be payable within sixty (60) days following the date thereof. |
4. | MANUFACTURING STANDARDS AND QUALITY ASSURANCE. |
4.1 | Quality Agreement. |
The Parties agree to comply with the requirements and provisions set forth in the Quality Agreement. Unless expressly stated otherwise, in the event of a conflict between the terms of the Quality Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Quality Agreement shall prevail with respect to matters of Product quality and the terms of this Agreement shall prevail with respect to all other matters.
4.2 | Manufacturing Standards. |
Manufacturer shall manufacture and supply the Product (including disposing of all waste and other materials) in accordance with the Specifications, applicable Laws, the Quality Agreement and this Agreement.

4.4 | Legal and Regulatory Filings and Requests. |
Except as otherwise agreed to in the Quality Agreements, Manufacturer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Customer in responding to all requests for information from, and in making all legally required filings with, Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction to make such requests or require such filings. Manufacturer shall (a) obtain and comply with all licenses, consents and permits, and (b) comply with all Laws to the extent applicable to its manufacturing and packaging processes, the Facility or for the performance of its obligations hereunder.
4.5 | Quality Tests and Checks. |
Manufacturer or permitted subcontractors shall perform all tests or checks required by the Specifications, the Quality Agreement, and the applicable Product Addendum (except in each case as may be specified in the applicable Product
18
Addendum). Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Price for each Product shall include all costs and expenses associated with such tests and checks in accordance with and subject to Article 3.
4.6 | Non-Complying Product. |
Manufacturer shall not release any Product for shipment that does not conform to the warranties set forth in Section 5.1(c) (“Non-Complying Product”), without the prior written approval of Customer. Manufacturer shall reimburse Customer for any Customer-Supplied Materials used to manufacture any such Non-Complying Product in accordance with Section 9.3.
4.7 | Responsibility for Rejected and Non-Complying Product. |
Manufacturer shall quarantine and properly tag all Non-Complying Product.

4.8 | Rejection of Product; Disposal of Rejected Shipments. |
(a) | Customer may reject any Non-Complying Product by providing notice of rejection to Manufacturer within sixty (60) days following receipt by Customer of any shipment of such Product hereunder; provided, however, that Customer may provide notice of rejection of any shipments of Product having any latent defects or any defects not reasonably discoverable through visual inspection up until the date of expiration of such Product. Customer shall have no right to reject any Product hereunder other than Non-Complying Product. |
(b) | Subject to Section 4.8(d), Customer shall return any shipments of Product (or portions thereof) rejected pursuant to this Section 4.8 to Manufacturer or Manufacturer’s designee at Manufacturer’s expense. In addition to any other rights or remedies of Customer hereunder, Manufacturer shall replace such rejected Product as soon as practicable at no additional charge to Customer (subject to Section 4.8(d)), and Manufacturer shall reimburse Customer for any Customer-Supplied Materials used to manufacture any such rejected Product in accordance with Section 9.3. |
(c) | In the event Customer rejects any Product that Manufacturer reasonably believes to conform to the warranties set forth in Section 5.1(c), Manufacturer shall have the right to test such Product to determine whether or not it so conforms. Manufacturer shall hire an independent third party laboratory, subject to Customer’s prior written approval of such laboratory, to perform such tests in accordance with the Quality Agreement |
19
and all applicable Laws and promptly provide the results thereof to Customer. The determination of such tests shall be binding upon the Parties for all purposes hereunder, provided that if such tests are unable to determine whether or not such rejected Product is Non-Complying Product, such Product shall be deemed to be Non-Complying Product. If such tests determine that the Product is, or such Product is so deemed to be, Non-Complying Product, Manufacturer shall bear the costs of such tests and the provisions of this Article 4 shall apply without limitation to such Non-Complying Product. However, if such tests determine that such Product is not Non-Complying Product, Customer shall bear the costs of such tests and shall remain obligated to pay Manufacturer the Price for such Product in accordance with Article 3, and, without limiting such obligation, if Customer reasonably so requests in writing, Manufacturer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to re-deliver such Product to Customer at Customer’s expense. |
(d) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and without limiting Section 9.3(b), Customer shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any Non-Complying Product to the extent any Customer-Supplied Materials resulted in such Product being Non-Complying Product, and shall reimburse Manufacturer for Manufacturer’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. |
(e) | The provisions of this Section 4.8 shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement, provided that, subsequent to the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Manufacturer may, in lieu of replacing any rejected or missing quantities of Product, elect in its sole discretion to reimburse Customer for the costs (including any applicable freight charges) associated with the replacement of such rejected and/or missing quantities of Product by Customer or a third party selected by Customer. |

(b) | Effective as of the expiration or termination of each Product Addendum, Customer hereby grants to Manufacturer a non-exclusive, royalty-free (except for any pass-through royalties or other payment owed to a third party therefor), sublicenseable license to use any Customer-Owned Improvements and Developments for any and all purposes outside the AH Field. |
27

6.4 | Limited Right to Use. |
Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 to 6.3 and the terms of the Separation Agreement and any other Ancillary Agreement (as applicable), nothing set forth in this Agreement shall be construed to grant to either Party any title, right or interest in or to any Intellectual Property owned or controlled by the other Party or any of its Affiliates. Use by Manufacturer of any Customer Property, except to the extent expressly provided in an Ancillary Agreement, shall be limited exclusively to its performance of this Agreement.

6.5 | No Conflict with Separation Agreement or other Ancillary Agreements. |
Nothing in this Article 6 shall, or shall be deemed to, expand, limit or otherwise alter any rights of the Parties or their Affiliates pursuant to the Separation Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, and to the extent of any conflict between this Article 6 and the Separation Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, the Separation Agreement or such other Ancillary Agreement shall govern.
7. | INDEMNIFICATION; LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. |
7.1 | Indemnification of Customer. |
Except as provided in Section 7.3, Pfizer and Manufacturer shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each member of the Customer’s Group and each of their Affiliates and each member of the Customer’s Group’s and their respective Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees and agents, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Customer Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Losses of the Customer Indemnitees to the extent relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items (without duplication and including any Losses arising by way of setoff, counterclaim or defense or enforcement of any Lien): (i) Manufacturer’s or its Affiliate’s breach of this Agreement or any Product Addendum or of any representation or warranty made by Manufacturer or
28
its Affiliate to Customer or its Affiliate under this Agreement or any Product Addendum; (ii) any injury to or death of any Person occurring on the premises of Manufacturer; (iii) Manufacturer’s supply of Non-Complying Product; (iv) the infringement of any third party Intellectual Property Rights relating to manufacturing processes or reagents caused solely by the use of any Manufacturer-Owned Improvements and Developments by or on behalf of Manufacturer to manufacture or supply the Product hereunder; or (v) any grossly negligent or reckless act or omission or misconduct on the part of Manufacturer, Affiliates of Manufacturer, subcontractors of Manufacturer, or its or their respective employees or agents; except in each case to the extent that Customer or its Affiliate is obligated to indemnify, defend and hold harmless any Manufacturer Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.2 below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manufacturer shall not be liable for Losses to the extent such Losses are caused by the gross negligence, recklessness or misconduct of Customer or its Affiliate or breach of any of the terms of this Agreement by Customer or its Affiliate or of any representation or warranty made by Customer or its Affiliate to Manufacturer or its Affiliate under this Agreement or any Product Addendum.
7.2 | Indemnification of Manufacturer. |
Except as provided in Section 7.3, Zoetis and Customer shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each member of the Manufacturer’s Group and each of their Affiliates and each member of the Manufacturer’s Group’s and their respective Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees and agents, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Manufacturer Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Losses of the Manufacturer Indemnitees to the extent relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items (without duplication and including any Losses arising by way of setoff, counterclaim or defense or enforcement of any Lien): (i) Customer’s or its Affiliate’s breach of this Agreement or any Product Addendum or of any representation or warranty made by Customer or its Affiliate to Manufacturer or its Affiliate under this Agreement or any Product Addendum; (ii) any grossly negligent or reckless act or omission or misconduct on the part of Customer, Affiliates of Customer, or its or their respective employees or agents; (iii) the use of any Customer Property in accordance with this Agreement; or (iv) the manufacture, sale, marketing, use or distribution of any Products; except in each case to the extent that Manufacturer or its Affiliate is obligated to indemnify, defend and hold harmless any Customer Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.1 above.

29
7.3 | Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts. |
(a) | The Parties intend that any Loss subject to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Article 7 will be net of Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Loss. Accordingly, the amount which any Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnitee”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of the related Loss. If an Indemnitee receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Loss and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds, then the Indemnitee will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made. |
(b) | An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or any other third party shall be entitled to a “wind-fall” (i.e., a benefit such insurer or other third party would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall obligate any Person in any Group to seek to collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds. |
(c) | If an indemnification claim is covered by the indemnification provisions of the Separation Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, the claim shall be made under the Separation Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement to the extent applicable and the provisions thereof shall govern such claim. In no event shall any party be entitled to double recovery from the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and the Separation Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement. |
7.4 | Procedures for Indemnification of Third Party Claims. |
(a) | If an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a Person in the Pfizer Group or the Company Group of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 (collectively, a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof as promptly as practicable (and in any event within thirty (30) days) after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail. |
30
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnitee or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 7.4(a) shall not relieve the related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article 7, except to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. |
(b) | An Indemnifying Party may elect (but shall not be required) to defend, at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any Third Party Claim, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to defend and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnities if the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal action, indictment or allegation. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 7.4(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such Third Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee of its election whether the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for defending such Third Party Claim, which election shall specify any reservations or exceptions to its defense. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the expense of such Indemnitee; provided, however, in the event that (i) the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim but has specified, and continues to assert, any reservations or exceptions in such notice or (ii) the Third Party Claim involves injunctive or equitable relief, then, in any such case, the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnitees shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. |
(c) | If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election as provided in Section 7.4(b), such Indemnitee may defend such Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. |
(d) | Unless the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, no Indemnitee may settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party. If an Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim within the time period specified in clause (b) above, it shall not be a defense to any obligation to pay any amount in respect of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party was not consulted in the defense thereof, that such Indemnifying Party’s views or opinions as to the conduct of such defense were not accepted or adopted, that such Indemnifying Party does not approve of the quality or manner of the defense thereof or that such Third |
31
Party Claim was incurred by reason of a settlement rather than by a judgment or other determination of liability. |
(e) | In the case of a Third Party Claim, no Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of the Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnitee if the effect thereof is (i) to permit any injunction, declaratory judgment, other order or other non-monetary relief to be entered, directly or indirectly, against any Indemnitee or (ii) to ascribe any fault on any Indemnitee in connection with such defense. |
7.5 | Additional Matters. |
(a) | Any claim on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the related Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to make payment. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such Indemnitee as contemplated by this Agreement. |
(b) | In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim. |
(c) | In the event of an Action in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party shall so request, the parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant or otherwise hold the Indemnifying Party as party thereto, if at all practicable. If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying Party to manage the Action as set forth in this Section, and the Indemnifying Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant against all costs of defending the Action (including court costs, sanctions imposed by a court, attorneys’ fees, experts fees and all other external expenses), the costs of any judgment or settlement, and the cost of any interest or penalties relating to any judgment or settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim. |
32
7.6 | Limitation on Liability. |
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, (I) IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY OR ANY OF ITS GROUP MEMBERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, COLLATERAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS SUFFERED BY AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DAMAGES ARISING HEREUNDER, AND (II) IN NO EVENT SHALL MANUFACTURER’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED, ON A PRODUCT-BY-PRODUCT BASIS, THE TOTAL PRICE PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR SUCH PRODUCT HEREUNDER; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT (X) NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 7.6 SHALL LIMIT OR EXCLUDE ANY DAMAGES OR CLAIMS TO THE EXTENT ARISING OUT OF A BREACH OF ARTICLE 10 OF THIS AGREEMENT OR RESULTING FROM A PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, AND (Y) TO THE EXTENT AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS REQUIRED TO PAY ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, COLLATERAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS TO A PERSON WHO IS NOT A MEMBER OF EITHER GROUP IN CONNECTION WITH A THIRD PARTY CLAIM, SUCH DAMAGES WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 7.6.
7.7 | Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article 7 shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party. |
7.8 | Survival of Indemnities. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Article 7 shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee; and (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Liabilities for which it might be entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder. The rights and obligations of each of Pfizer and Zoetis and their respective Indemnitees under this Article 7 shall survive the sale or other transfer by any party of any assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities. |
7.9 | Time Limit for Claims. Any action for breach of this Agreement brought by a Party against the other Party must be commenced no later than twelve (12) months after expiration or termination of the Term (to the extent permitted by applicable Law), and any claim for indemnification hereunder must be asserted prior to expiration of the twelve (12) month period after the applicable breach, gross negligence or willful misconduct, or other applicable conduct or occurrence, respectively, for which the claim for indemnification is being brought hereunder (except to the extent such claim for indemnification is based upon a third party claim asserted after such twelve (12) month period by a Person who is not a member of either Group, and without limitation and subject to Section 7.4). |
33
8. | INSURANCE. |
8.1 | During the Term and for a period of three (3) years from the date of the last delivery of Product to Customer hereunder, Manufacturer shall self-insure (if Pfizer or its Affiliate is the Manufacturer) or shall provide and maintain such insurance coverage, in minimum types and amounts as described below in this Article. |
(a) | Any and all deductibles for such insurance policies shall be assumed by, for the account of, and at Manufacturer’s sole risk. All deductibles and self-insured retention amounts must be acceptable to and approved, in writing (if required), by Customer in its reasonable discretion. |
(b) | In respect of the Liabilities assumed by Manufacturer under this Agreement, such insurance policies shall be primary and non-contributing with respect to any other similar insurance policies available to Customer or its Affiliates. In respect of the Liabilities assumed by Manufacturer under this Agreement, except for Workers Compensation/Employers’ Liability all such policies shall include Customer and its Affiliates and any other such entities as Customer may reasonably request, as additional insureds. Where permitted by law, all such polices shall provide a waiver of subrogation in favor of Customer and its Affiliates. |
(c) | Manufacturer shall furnish to Customer original certificates evidencing the specified insurance coverage (except to the extent self-insured, if Pfizer or its Affiliate is the Manufacturer), upon execution of this Agreement and at contract renewal or expiration of any one coverage, whichever occurs first. Such certificates shall provide that not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any policy cancellation, or material change shall be given to Customer. The Certificate(s) of Insurance shall be signed by a person authorized by the insurer(s) to bind coverage on its (their) behalf. |
8.2 | The insurance required under this Article shall be written for not less than any limits of liability specified herein or as required by law, whichever is greater.

35
coverage may be part of Commercial General Liability coverage and Umbrella/Excess coverage. |
8.3 | Acceptance of Insurance Certificate. Acceptance of any insurance certificate by Customer shall not constitute acceptance of the adequacy of coverage, compliance with the requirements of this Agreement, or serve as an amendment to this Agreement. |
9. | CUSTOMER-SUPPLIED MATERIALS. |
9.1 | Supply of Materials. |
(a) | Customer shall at its own expense supply Manufacturer with the Customer-Supplied Materials identified in the applicable Product Addendum. At Customer’s option, the Customer-Supplied Materials may be delivered directly from Customer’s vendor to Manufacturer at the vendor’s or Customer’s expense. Customer or its vendor shall supply Manufacturer with a copy of the certificate of analysis for the Customer-Supplied Materials no later than delivery of the Customer-Supplied Materials to Manufacturer. |

(a) | Manufacturer agrees to reimburse Customer for its costs-per-unit as specified in the Product Addendum per batch/lot pro-rated over the usable portion of the batch/lot, if applicable, for any loss of Customer-Supplied Materials, including any loss of Customer-Supplied Materials used to manufacture any Non-Complying Product, subject to Section 9.3(b). In addition, Manufacturer shall be responsible for all manufacturing costs incurred during the manufacture of such failed batch/lot, pro-rated over the usable portion of the batch/lot if applicable. Manufacturer shall also reimburse Customer for excess Customer-Supplied Materials used as a result of Manufacturer’s failure to achieve the minimum average yield or u-factor (as applicable) set forth in the applicable Product Addendum. During the month of January of each year Manufacturer will report to Customer the actual yield or u-factor (as applicable) achieved for all Customer-Supplied Materials used during the previous calendar year, as determined either by actual batch yield data or by u-factor calculations (as applicable). If the achieved average yield or u-factor (as applicable) is lower than the minimum acceptable yield or higher than the maximum acceptable u-factor (as applicable) specified in the applicable Product Addendum, calculated on a Facility-by-Facility basis, Manufacturer will reimburse to Customer the cost of the excess Customer-Supplied Materials used as set forth in the applicable Product Addendum.

10. | CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. |
10.1 | Non-Use and Non-Disclosure. |
Each Party to this Agreement or any Product Addendum shall maintain in strict confidence, and shall not disclose to any third party, all Confidential Information observed by or disclosed to it by or on behalf of the other Party pursuant to this Agreement or any Product Addendum. Each Party shall not use or disclose such Confidential Information except as permitted by this Agreement. Each Party shall safeguard the confidential and proprietary nature of the Confidential Information of the other Party with at least the same degree of care as it holds its own confidential or proprietary information of like kind, which shall be no less than a
37
reasonable degree of care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the preceding restrictions shall not apply to information that the recipient can demonstrate (a) was lawfully in its possession prior to the time of disclosure (except where (i) Pfizer or one of its Affiliates is the recipient and such information is included in the Animal Health Assets or is otherwise owned by Zoetis or one of its Affiliates pursuant to the Separation Agreement, this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, or (ii) Zoetis or one of its Affiliates is the recipient and such information is included in the Excluded Assets or is otherwise owned by Pfizer or one of its Affiliates pursuant to the Separation Agreement, this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement); (b) is or becomes public knowledge through no fault, omission, or other act of the recipient; (c) is obtained from a third party lawfully entitled to possession of such Confidential Information and under no obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party; or (d) was independently developed by or for recipient without violating the terms of this Agreement. In addition, if recipient is requested to disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party in connection with a legal or administrative proceeding or otherwise to comply with a requirement under any Law, such recipient shall give the disclosing party prompt notice of such request so that the disclosing party may seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, or waive compliance with the relevant provisions of this Agreement. If the disclosing party seeks a protective order or other remedy, recipient shall promptly cooperate with and reasonably assist the disclosing party in such efforts. If the disclosing party fails to obtain a protective order or waives compliance with the relevant provisions of this Agreement, the recipient shall disclose only that portion of Confidential Information which its legal counsel determines it is required to disclose.
10.2 | Return of Confidential Information. |
Upon the written request of the disclosing Party, the recipient shall promptly return or destroy, at such disclosing Party’s option, all Confidential Information of such disclosing Party (including all copies in whatever medium provided to, or made by, such recipient); provided, however, that, subject to the terms of this Agreement, recipient shall be entitled to retain one archival copy of such Confidential Information for purposes of determining its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding recipient’s return or destruction of Confidential Information, recipient shall continue to be bound by its obligation of confidentiality and non-use under this Agreement.

11.1 | Term of Agreement. |
This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of five (5) years from the IPO Closing (the “Term” of this Agreement), unless extended or terminated pursuant to this Article or the mutual written agreement of the Parties. Each Product Addendum shall commence on the Product Addendum Effective Date thereof and, except as otherwise provided in such Product Addendum, shall continue until expiration or termination of this Agreement (the “Term” of such Product Addendum), in each case unless extended or terminated pursuant to this Article or the mutual written agreement of the Parties. Customer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to develop the capabilities and facilities to manufacture each Product so as to enable Customer to commence such manufacture on its own behalf, or to establish alternative sources of supply of such Product (including a long-term supply arrangement between the Parties, if mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties), and transition from such manufacture by Manufacturer hereunder, reasonably prior to the expiration of this Agreement, and Customer shall promptly respond to Manufacturer’s reasonable requests regarding Customer’s progress with respect to such matters.
11.2 | Termination for Cause. |
Either Party may terminate the applicable Product Addendum for cause immediately upon written notice to the other Party in the event that such other Party fails to perform any material obligation under such Product Addendum, through no fault of the Party initiating such termination, that remains uncured for ninety (90) calendar days following written notice to such Party of such breach.
11.3 | Termination in Event of Insolvency. |
In the event that either Party (the “Insolvent Party”): (i) becomes insolvent, or institutes or has instituted against it a petition for bankruptcy or is adjudicated bankrupt; or (ii) executes a xxxx of sale, deed of trust, or a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (iii) is dissolved or transfers a substantial portion of its assets to a third party; or (iv) a receiver is appointed for the benefit of its creditors, or a receiver is appointed on account of insolvency; then the Insolvent Party shall immediately notify the other Party of such event and such other Party shall be entitled to: (a) terminate this Agreement and/or any or all Product Addenda for cause immediately upon written notice to the Insolvent Party; or (b) request that the Insolvent Party or its successor provide adequate assurances of continued and future performance in form and substance acceptable to such other Party, which shall be provided by the Insolvent Party within ten (10) calendar days of such request, and the other Party may terminate this Agreement and/or any or all Product Addenda for cause immediately upon written notice to the Insolvent Party in the event that the Insolvent Party fails to provide such assurances acceptable to the other Party within such ten (10) day period.
39
11.4 | Other Termination. |
Any Product Addendum may be terminated as follows:
(a) | By Customer or by Manufacturer pursuant to Section 16.5; |
(b) | By Customer upon at least six (6) months’ prior written notice to Manufacturer (or such longer period as may be specified in the applicable Product Addendum) for any or no reason. |
11.5 | Effect of Termination. |
(a) | The termination or expiration of this Agreement or any Product Addendum for any reason shall not release any Party hereto of any liability which at the time of termination or expiration had already accrued to the other Party in respect to any act or omission prior thereto. |
(b) | Upon the effective date of expiration or termination of this Agreement or, with respect to applicable Product, any Product Addendum for any reason, without limiting Section 2.5(a), Manufacturer shall immediately deliver to Customer all Specifications (and copies thereof) and, at Customer’s direction, return or destroy (i) all remaining originals, masters and inventory of artwork, labels, bottles, premiums and packaging materials, and any other Product Materials bearing any trademarks or logos of Customer or its Affiliates or otherwise describing the Products, and (ii) all unused Customer-Supplied Materials. Additionally, within ninety (90) days after the effective date of the expiration or the termination for any reason of this Agreement or such Product Addendum, Customer shall purchase any finished Product and, at Manufacturer’s option, any work-in-process and/or Product Materials (other than Customer-Supplied Materials) that Manufacturer has purchased based upon a Customer firm Purchase Order or a Forecast quantity with respect to the binding portion of such Forecast, as applicable, for the production of Product under this Agreement or such Product Addendum, as applicable; provided that Manufacturer uses its commercially reasonable efforts to exhaust existing stocks of such Product Materials prior to the date of expiration or termination. Customer shall pay Manufacturer’s direct cost for work in process, and Manufacturer’s purchase price from its suppliers for such Product Materials. All delivery, removal and transportation costs incurred in connection with this Section 11.5(b) shall be borne by Customer except in the event Customer terminates this Agreement or such Product Addendum pursuant to Section 11.2 or 11.3, as applicable, in which case all such reasonable costs shall be borne by Manufacturer. |
(c) | Without limiting the foregoing, upon the expiration or termination of each Product Addendum, Customer shall have the right to purchase from Manufacturer any item of equipment at the applicable Facility which is owned by Manufacturer or its Affiliates and used and held for use |
40
exclusively for manufacturing the Product under such Product Addendum, provided that (i) Customer notifies Manufacturer that it is exercising such right no later than ninety (90) days prior to expiration or termination of such Product Addendum, and (ii) Customer pays Manufacturer the net book value for such item, as such net book value is determined by Manufacturer as of the date of such Customer notification (and Manufacturer shall provide such net book value to Customer within sixty (60) days following Customer’s written request therefor), within forty-five (45) days following such expiration or termination (each such item of purchased equipment, “Purchased Equipment”). Each such purchase shall be made pursuant to a written agreement to be entered into by Customer and Manufacturer, which agreement shall provide that such Purchased Equipment is sold “as is, where is, with all faults and defects.” For clarity, Customer shall have the right to exercise such right on an item-by-item basis with respect to such Purchased Equipment. Customer shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses associated with removing such Purchased Equipment from the Facility (and repairing and restoring the Facility from any damage caused by such removal) in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with Manufacturer’s operations at the Facility, and Customer shall reimburse Manufacturer within forty-five (45) days following Manufacturer’s invoice for such costs and expenses. Manufacturer and its Affiliates shall have no responsibility for marketing or insuring the Purchased Equipment and the Customer shall bear all risk of loss with respect thereto. |
(d) | The termination or expiration of this Agreement or any Product Addendum shall not affect the survival and continuing validity of Article 5 (Representations and Warranties), Article 6 (Intellectual Property), Article 7 (Indemnification), Article 8 (Insurance), Article 14 (Notices), Article 15 (Dispute Resolution), Article 16 (Miscellaneous), or of any other provision which is expressly or by implication intended to continue in force after such termination or expiration. |
11.6 | Return of Customer-Supplied Materials, Tools and Equipment. |
(a) | Upon the effective date of expiration or termination of this Agreement or, with respect to applicable Product, any Product Addendum for any reason whatsoever, Manufacturer shall immediately deliver to Customer all Specifications (and copies thereof), artwork, labels, bottles, all premiums and packaging materials purchased by Customer and all Product Materials and equipment, molds, tablet press tooling or proprietary materials provided by Customer or purchased by Manufacturer (and reimbursed by Customer), in each case that are used and held for use exclusively for the manufacture of Product for Customer and were purchased following consummation of the transactions under the Separation Agreement. Manufacturer will remove all such equipment, molds and tablet press tooling from the Facility and make such equipment, molds and tooling |
41
available for pickup at the Facility by a carrier designated by Customer. All delivery, removal and transportation costs incurred in connection with this Section 11.6 shall be borne by Customer except in the event Customer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2 or 11.3, in which case all such reasonable costs shall be borne by Manufacturer. |
(b) | Any Product quarantined at the time of expiration or termination of this Agreement or, with respect to applicable Product, any Product Addendum shall be disposed of or destroyed (at the Customer’s expense, except to the extent provided otherwise in Article 4 or the Quality Agreement) in accordance with Customer’s instructions. |
11.7 | Transitional Support. |
(a) | Upon or within a mutually agreed time period prior to the expiration or termination of the Term of each Product Addendum, with respect to each Customer-Exclusive Product, Manufacturer shall provide reasonable technical support to Customer, as set forth in this Section 11.7, to assist Customer in the technology transfer of production of each such Product to either one (1) facility of Customer or one (1) facility of an alternative source of supply as designated by Customer (“Technical Support”, and such facility, the “Receiving Site”). Such reasonable Technical Support shall consist of: |
(i) | Supply of a technical package to facilitate the transfer of all relevant manufacturing information to the Receiving Site, including formulation descriptions, manufacturing instructions, specifications, methods and material supplier information, as applicable, except for any information that is (i) Sensitive Manufacturer Technology or (ii) subject to confidentiality obligations owing to a third party other than Customer or its Affiliates; |
(ii) | Host one (1) site visit to the Manufacturer’s Facility by the Customer and/or such designated alternative source supplier to observe production of the applicable Product (such that, for clarity, no more than one (1) such site visit shall occur for each Product), in each case at a mutually agreed date and time during Manufacturer’s normal operating hours and subject to such confidentiality procedures or requirements as may be requested or implemented by Manufacturer, provided that (i) the request for each such visit shall be made so as to allow for sufficient advance preparation time and can be accommodated in the requested timeframe without interruption to Manufacturer’s routine production, and (ii) such visit shall not include access to Sensitive Manufacturer Technology; |
42
(iii) | Performance of high-level consultation and answering queries for Customer through the transfer process; and |
(iv) | Provision of Product samples required for transfer activities, in each case at the expense of Customer. |
(b) | Customer and/or such designated alternative source supplier shall be responsible for providing leadership of any technology transfer from Manufacturer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Customer and/or such designated alternative source supplier shall be solely responsible for identifying any and all Technical Support that is required from Manufacturer to assure such technology transfer is successful. |
(c) | The Parties shall reasonably cooperate and mutually agree to facilitate the provision of any additional reasonable Technical Support with respect to the applicable Product to Customer or such designated alternative source supplier, including assistance through the transfer process, Manufacturer personnel visits to the Receiving Site, and training and troubleshooting during the Receiving Site’s first production run of the Product, in each case as and to the extent agreed by Manufacturer in each instance (and subject to Section 11.7(f)). |
(d) | Manufacturer shall have the right to prioritize its own projects and activities over any Technical Support hereunder with respect to staffing, production activities and other resources or obligations. In addition, Manufacturer shall have no obligation to hire or retain any individuals or make any capital expenditures in connection with the Technical Support, and Manufacturer’s obligation to provide Technical Support is contingent upon the continued employment by Manufacturer of those individuals capable of providing such Technical Support. Manufacturer’s obligation to provide any Technical Support under this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect if Customer or any its Affiliates hire any Manufacturer personnel involved in providing the Technical Support to Customer hereunder (without limiting any applicable non-solicitation obligations of Customer pursuant to the Separation Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement). |
(e) | Customer shall be solely responsible for any and all regulatory or other Governmental Authority requirements, activities and related costs and expenses that arise in conjunction with any Technical Support, technology transfer of production or production of each Product to or at the Receiving Site. These activities may also include, but are not limited to, creation of additional data or technical information, analytical method modifications or other work of a technical nature required to support regulatory queries or contemporary standards and guidelines driven by the manufacturing transfer (subject to Section 6.2). |
43
(f) | Customer shall be responsible for, and shall promptly reimburse Manufacturer upon Manufacturer’s written request for, any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Manufacturer in connection with any Technical Support under this Agreement. |
(g) | With respect to each Product, Manufacturer shall provide to Customer, in connection with the Technical Support or reasonably promptly following Customer’s written request therefor following termination of the applicable Product Addendum, such analytical materials and methods in Manufacturer’s possession or control that are required in connection with disclosures to any applicable Governmental Authority to qualify the applicable Product Materials or such Product itself for release testing to meet the then-current applicable Marketing Authorization, in each case in accordance with Section 10.1. |
(h) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except as expressly provided in Section 11.7(g), Manufacturer shall have no obligation to disclose, license or otherwise provide confidential or proprietary information of Manufacturer or any third party, including any Sensitive Manufacturer Technology, in connection with this Agreement or any Technical Support or technology transfer therein. |
12. | SUPPLY CHAIN SECURITY. |
12.1 | C-TPAT (US Manufacturers). |
(a) | Manufacturer represents and warrants to Customer that it has reviewed its supply chain security procedures and that these procedures and their implementation are, and shall remain during the Term of this Agreement, in accordance with the importer security criteria set forth by the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (“C-TPAT”) program of the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection. Manufacturer represents and warrants that it has developed and implemented, or shall develop and implement within sixty (60) calendar days of its execution of this Agreement, procedures for periodically reviewing and, if necessary, improving its supply chain security procedures to assure compliance with C-TPAT security criteria. |
(b) | Customer is or has, or promptly following the Effective Date will have, applied to become a certified member of C-TPAT. Importers that have joined C-TPAT are expected to have substantially fewer of their imports inspected and, hence, fewer supply chain delays (the “C-TPAT Benefits”). As a C-TPAT member, Customer is (or will be) required to make periodic assessment of its international supply chain based upon C-TPAT security criteria. Manufacturer agrees to conduct an annual security audit at each of its facilities and to take all necessary corrective actions to ensure the continued participation of Customer in C-TPAT. Manufacturer agrees to share with Customer the results of such annual audits and agrees to |
44
prepare and submit to Customer a report on the corrective actions taken in response thereto. Manufacturer agrees to notify Customer of any event that has resulted in or threatens the loss of its C-TPAT Benefits (if it is a member of the C-TPAT program) or alternatively jeopardizes Customer’s retention of its own C-TPAT Benefits. In an effort to secure each part of the supply chain, Manufacturer agrees to work in good faith to become a member of the C-TPAT program, if Manufacturer is organized or incorporated in the United States, Mexico or Canada, or the equivalent supply chain security program criteria administered by the customs administration in Manufacturer’s home country if Manufacturer is not organized or incorporated in the United States, Mexico or Canada. |
12.2 | Ex-US Manufacturers. |
(a) | Manufacturer represents, warrants and covenants to Customer that it has reviewed its supply chain security procedures and that these procedures and their implementation are, and shall remain during the Term of this Agreement, in accordance with the conveyance security criteria set forth by Pfizer. Manufacturer represents and warrants that it has developed and implemented, or shall develop and implement within sixty (60) days of its execution of this Agreement, procedures for periodically reviewing and, if necessary, improving its supply chain security procedures to assure the integrity of the Product while in transit. |
(b) | Manufacturer will adhere to all applicable Laws pertaining to security of the supply chain with respect to Product, as well as to standard industry practices. Manufacturer will make available to Pfizer any documentation outlining their internal supply chain security program with respect to Product upon request, and will work with the Customer to resolve gaps identified within that process. |
13. | NO COUNTERFEIT. |
In no event shall Manufacturer manufacture, supply or otherwise distribute for itself or a third party a counterfeit of the Product.
14. | NOTICES. |
All notices or other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be duly given when (a) delivered in person or (b) deposited in the United States mail or private express mail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

The procedures for discussion, negotiation and mediation set forth in this Article 15 shall apply to all disputes, controversies or claims (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise) that may arise out of or relate to, or arise under or in connection with this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby (including all actions taken in furtherance of the transactions contemplated hereby on or prior to the Separation Date), or the commercial or economic relationship of the Parties relating hereto or thereto, between or among any Person in the Pfizer Group and the Company Group.
15.2 | Escalation; Mediation. |
(a) | It is the intent of the Parties to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to resolve expeditiously any dispute, controversy or claim between or among them with respect to the matters covered hereby that may arise from time to time on a mutually acceptable negotiated basis. In furtherance of the foregoing, any Party involved in a dispute, controversy or claim with respect to such matters may deliver a notice (an “Escalation Notice”) demanding an in person meeting involving representatives of the Parties at a senior level of management of the parties (or if the Parties agree, of the appropriate strategic business unit or division within such entity). A copy of any such Escalation Notice shall be |
46
given to the General Counsel, or like officer or official, of each party involved in the dispute, controversy or claim (which copy shall state that it is an Escalation Notice pursuant to this Agreement). Any agenda, location or procedures for such discussions or negotiations between the parties may be established by the Parties from time to time; provided, however, that the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to meet within thirty (30) days of the Escalation Notice. |
(b) | If the Parties are not able to resolve the dispute, controversy or claim through the escalation process referred to above, then the matter shall be referred to mediation. The Parties shall retain a mediator to aid the Parties in their discussions and negotiations by informally providing advice to the parties. Any opinion expressed by the mediator shall be strictly advisory and shall not be binding on the Parties, nor shall any opinion expressed by the mediator be admissible in any other proceeding. The mediator may be chosen from a list of mediators previously selected by the Parties or by other agreement of the Parties. Costs of the mediation shall be borne equally by the Parties involved in the matter, except that each Party shall be responsible for its own expenses. Mediation shall be a prerequisite to the commencement of any Action by either Party. |
15.3 | Court Actions. |
(a) | In the event that any Party, after complying with the provisions set forth in Section 15.2 above, desires to commence an Action, such Party, subject to Section 16.2, may submit the dispute, controversy or claim (or such series of related disputes, controversies or claims) to any court of competent jurisdiction. |
(b) | Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties will continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article 15, except to the extent such commitments are the subject of such dispute, controversy or claim. |
16. | MISCELLANEOUS. |
16.1 | Publicity. |
Neither Party shall issue any press release or other publicity materials, or make any presentation with respect to the existence of this Agreement or the terms and conditions hereof without the prior written consent of the other Party in each instance. Neither Party shall publicize or publicly use any name, trademarks or logos of the other Party in connection with this Agreement without the other Party’s prior written consent in each instance. This restriction shall not, however, apply to the extent that any such disclosures are required by applicable Laws, including as may be required in connection with any filings required to be made with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or by the disclosure policies of a major stock exchange.
47
16.2 | Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. |

(b) | With respect to any Action relating to or arising out of this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Article 15, each Party to this Agreement irrevocably (a) consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and any court of the United States located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, (b) waives any objection which such Party may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceeding brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceeding, that such court does not have jurisdiction over such Party and (c) consents to the service of process at the address set forth for notices in Section 14; provided, however, that such manner of service of process shall not preclude the service of process in any other manner permitted under applicable Law. |
(c) | THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT THEY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND AGREE TO CAUSE THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE OR INTERPRET THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. |
16.3 | No Agency. |
Nothing contained herein shall be construed to place the Parties in the relationship of partners, joint venturers, principal and agent, or employer and employee. Neither Party shall have the power to assume, create, or incur liability or any obligation of any kind, express or implied, in the name of or on behalf of the other party by virtue of this Agreement.
16.4 | Assignment; Binding Effect. |
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that no Party hereto may assign its respective rights or delegate its respective obligations under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of the other Party or Parties hereto; provided, further, that either Party may assign any of its rights and delegate or subcontract any of its duties and obligations under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates without the approval of the other Party (such assignment, delegation or subcontracting to an Affiliate shall not relieve such
48
Party of its responsibilities and liabilities hereunder and such Party shall remain liable to the other Party for the conduct and performance of its Affiliate), and, provided, further, that Customer may assign any of its rights and delegate or subcontract any of its duties and obligations hereunder with respect to any Product, without the approval of Manufacturer, to a third party that acquires all or substantially all of Customer’s rights to such Product (subject to Manufacturer’s reasonable approval or Customer’s guarantee of the creditworthiness of such third party), and, provided, further, that Pfizer may assign any of its rights and delegate or subcontract any of its duties and obligations hereunder in connection with the sale, transfer or other disposition of any Facility or related assets to a third party. Any subcontracting consented to by Customer shall not relieve Manufacturer of its responsibilities and liabilities hereunder and Manufacturer shall remain liable to Customer for the conduct and performance of each permitted subcontractor hereunder. Except for the indemnification rights under this Agreement of any Manufacturer Indemnitee or Customer Indemnitee in their respective capacities as such (a) the provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Parties and are not intended to confer upon any Person (including employees of the Parties hereto) except the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder and (b) there are no third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not provide any third person (including employees of the Parties hereto) with any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, claim of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.
16.5 | Force Majeure; Failure to Supply. |
(a) | No Party shall be liable for any failure to perform or any delays in performance, and no Party shall be deemed to be in breach or default of its obligations set forth in this Agreement, if, to the extent and for so long as, such failure or delay is due to any causes that are beyond its reasonable control, including such causes as acts of God, natural disasters, fire, flood, severe storm, earthquake, civil disturbance, lockout, riot, order of any court or administrative body, embargo, acts of government, war (whether or not declared), acts of terrorism, failure of suppliers, strikes or other labor disputes or other similar causes, in each case to the extent beyond such Party’s reasonable control (“Force Majeure Event”). In the event of a Force Majeure Event, the Party prevented from or delayed in performing shall promptly give notice to the other Party and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize the delay. In the event that the delay continues for a period of at least thirty (30) calendar days, the Party affected by the other Party’s delay may elect to: (i) suspend performance and extend the time for performance for the duration of the Force Majeure Event, or (ii) cancel all or any part of the unperformed part of the applicable Product Addendum and/or any Purchase Orders. |
(b) | In the event that Manufacturer shall be unable or unwilling or shall fail to supply any Product in such quantities as Customer shall request and in compliance with the delivery periods set forth in Article 4 (whether due to |
49
the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, or otherwise) (hereinafter referred to as a “Failure to Supply”), then upon the occurrence of any such Failure to Supply and through and until such time as Manufacturer fully resumes its supply obligations hereunder: (a) Manufacturer shall provide advice and consultation in connection therewith; (b) Customer shall have no obligation to purchase Products from Manufacturer until any contractual obligations that Customer has assumed in connection with producing the same or obtaining such substitute source of supply shall have terminated; and (c) Customer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate such alternate arrangements promptly following Manufacturer’s notice to Customer that Manufacturer is capable of fully resuming its supply obligations hereunder. |
16.6 | Severability. |
If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon such a suitable and equitable provision to effect the original intent of the Parties.
16.7 | Waiver of Default. |
Waiver by any Party of any default by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of the other Party.
16.8 | Cumulative Effect. |
The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall be cumulative to and not exclusive of the rights and obligations of the parties contained in the Separation Agreement; provided that the remedies provided in this Agreement shall not be cumulative with any duplicative remedies available pursuant to the Separation Agreement.

Execution of this Agreement or any other documents pursuant to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic copy of a signature shall be deemed to be, and shall have the same effect as, execution by an original signature. |
(b) | This Agreement, the Separation Agreement, the other Ancillary Agreements, and the exhibits, the schedules and appendices hereto and thereto contain the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous agreements, negotiations, discussions, writings, understandings, commitments and conversations with respect to such subject matter. There are no agreements or understandings between the Parties with respect to such subject matter other than those set forth or referred to herein or therein. |
