5|Page |
In the event of any contradiction in the terms of any Purchase Order and this Agreement, the Parties agree that the terms of this Agreement shall prevail, unless otherwise specifically agreed by the Parties in writing.
B. Notwithstanding Section 2.3A, Napo shall be under no obligation to provide Glenmark with a new Purchase Order Pursuant to Section 2.3A until the Purchase Order for the immediately preceding Financial Year has been terminated either by agreement of the Parties or pursuant to Section 2.3G.
C. Glenmark shall submit each Purchase Order, within [****] of receipt thereof, to the appropriate Indian authority to obtain an export license for the full amount of Crofelemer Final stated on such Purchase Order.
D. Glenmark shall accept or reject, in writing within [****], each Purchase Order from Napo made in accordance with this Agreement and with Appendix 2.3D. If Glenmark does not communicate acceptance or rejection of a Purchase Order within such fifteen [****], then the Purchase Order shall be deemed accepted. Once a Purchase Order is placed, Napo shall not amend or cancel such Purchase Order without Glenmark’s prior consent. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
E. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Glenmark shall then be obligated to deliver to Napo or its Affiliates, by the required delivery dates and pursuant to the delivery instructions as are set forth in each Purchase Order. Glenmark shall deliver not less than [****] nor more than [****] of the quantities specified in the Purchase Order applicable to each such delivery date.

Collection of the Crofelemer Final from the Facility shall be made by Napo within a period of [****] from the date of written notification by Glenmark to Napo that the Crofelemer Final is ready for delivery (“Delivery Readiness Date”). In no event will the Delivery Readiness Date be prior to the delivery date specified in any given Purchase Order for such Crofelemer Final. Except in case of Force Majeure event, in the event that Napo fails to collect the Crofelemer Final from the Facility on the Delivery Readiness Date and such failure to collect is for reasons directly attributable to Napo, Napo shall be liable to pay customary and reasonable warehousing charges starting from the Delivery Readiness Date and going until such time as the Crofelemer Final is collected by Napo. Glenmark shall have the right to store the Crofelemer Final with a third party or in its own warehouse if not collected within [****] from the Delivery Readiness Date. Subject to the quantity variations set forth in this Section 2.3E, each failure of Glenmark to have a Delivery Readiness Date for the quantities of Crofelemer Final ordered pursuant to a Purchase Order within [****] of the required delivery date as set forth in the Purchase Order shall be regarded hereunder as a failure to deliver for purposes of establishing Chronicity; provided, however this will not excuse NAPO from taking delivery of the Crofelemer Final that is ready for delivery (subject to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement related to delivery and acceptance of Crofelemer Final by Napo).
F. Napo shall be obligated to purchase and take delivery of such quantities of Crofelemer Final as are set forth in each accepted Purchase Order, provided (i) such Crofelemer Final is delivered within the specified schedule as set forth therein and subject to the terms of Section 2.3E, and (ii) such fulfillment is in accordance with any special instructions or invoicing information stated in the Purchase Order. Each time Glenmark fails to deliver the Crofelemer Final ordered pursuant to a Purchase Order in a timely fashion, such failure shall be used for purposes of establishing Chronicity as per Section 2.3E.
G. Each Purchase Order shall terminate as of the later of the date of the last shipment therein or March 31 of the Financial Year for which such Purchase Order was submitted to and accepted by Glenmark pursuant to the terms stated in this Section 2.3. Napo will have no further obligation to purchase any Crofelemer Final on a given Purchase Order once the Purchase Order has terminated.
6|Page |
H. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, unless the reasons are attributable to Napo, Napo shall not be required to pay for any Crofelemer Final pursuant to a given Purchase Order (i) for which Napo has not received a timely Delivery Readiness Notice, (ii) that has not been physically delivered to Napo by Glenmark, or (iii) acceptance was rejected by Napo pursuant to Section 3.5 and not replaced in a timely manner by Glenmark. The quantity of Crofelemer Final in a given Purchase Order shall be reduced by the quantity of Crofelemer Final that Glenmark is unable to deliver to Napo for the reasons set forth in this Section 2.3H.
2.4 Napo-Supplied CPL
A. By the 5th day of the first month of every calendar quarter, Glenmark will send to Napo a written statement of Glenmark’s then-current inventory of Napo-Supplied CPL, which statement will include, among other items, (i) the number of kilograms available for processing as of that date, (ii) the number of kilograms delivered to Glenmark during the immediately preceding quarter and (iii) the number of kilograms consumed in processing during the immediately preceding quarter.
B. Absent an actual Force Majeure event, Napo, in accordance with each binding Purchase Order for Crofelemer Final, will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide sufficient quantities of Napo-Supplied CPL in a timely manner to allow Glenmark to maintain an inventory of Napo-Supplied CPL. Napo will provide Napo-Supplied CPL (upon written notice to Glenmark of the shipment readiness) which is collectively sufficient to [****] of the Crofelemer Final indicated in any Napo Purchase Order for any given quarter. Glenmark shall use the Napo-Supplied CPL only for purposes of Manufacturing Crofelemer Final for Napo and its Affiliates, and for no other purpose. Glenmark cannot use Napo-Supplied CPL to produce Crofelemer Final or Crofelemer-Based Product for its own use or for sale to a third-party. This Section 2.4B shall survive the expiration or early termination of this Agreement.
C. Napo shall submit an invoice for each shipment of Napo-Supplied CPL according to the terms defined in Appendix 2.4C.
D. Napo will ship DAP (port of arrival, India) (Incoterms 2010) the Napo-Supplied CPL to Glenmark. Thus, Glenmark’s obligations with respect to Napo-Supplied CPL shall be (i) responsibility for risk of loss upon Napo-Supplied CPL being customs cleared at port of entry into India, (ii) taking delivery of the Napo-Supplied CPL upon arrival at the port of entry into India, (iii) paying import taxes and duties applied to each Napo-Supplied CPL shipment, (iv) fulfilling all other steps necessary to ensure successful customs clearance and (v) paying shipment costs for Napo-Supplied CPL from the port of entry to Glenmark’s Facility. Ownership title and risk of loss for the Napo-Supplied CPL will transfer to Glenmark upon customs clearance at the port of entry in India and Glenmark shall retain ownership of the Napo-Supplied CPL through all processing steps to Crofelemer Final.
E. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereinabove, Glenmark shall have no liability hereunder to the extent any such liability is attributable to failure of Napo-Supplied CPL to conform to applicable Specifications upon testing (per mutually agreed and accepted test methods) at the Facility. Glenmark shall test the Napo-Supplied CPL as soon as practicable and will notify Napo within five (5) Business Days of any Napo-Supplied CPL that does not meet the release Specifications set forth in the Quality Agreement.
F. In the event Napo fails to deliver Napo-Supplied CPL, which meets the release Specifications in the Quality Agreement, and in the quantities necessary for Glenmark to Manufacture Crofelemer Final in accordance with any given Purchase Order, such failure shall excuse Glenmark's obligation to supply the quantity of Crofelemer Final specified in that Purchase Order, within the timeframe requested. However, once a sufficient amount of Napo-Supplied CPL has been provided to and accepted (having met release Specifications) by Glenmark, Glenmark will use commercially reasonable efforts to supply Napo with the previously Ordered quantity of Crofelemer Final.

9.2 Entire Agreement and Inconsistency. Subject to Section 2.5, this Agreement which includes all Appendices, exhibits and schedules attached hereto, together with the Quality Agreement and the Transfer Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no oral or written statement may be used to interpret or vary the meaning of the terms and conditions hereof. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Quality Agreement, this Agreement will prevail. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and any legal or regulatory requirements, amendments to this Agreement shall be considered promptly in good faith in order to satisfy such requirements.
9.3 Assignment. Neither Party may assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that either Party may assign this Agreement without the consent of the other Party to any Affiliate or in connection with the acquisition of such Party or the sale of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the assigning Party relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, whether by merger, acquisition or otherwise. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of each Party, its successors and permitted assigns. Any assignment of this Agreement in violation of this Section shall be null and void.
9.4 Force Majeure. Except for either Party’s payment obligations, failure of any Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not subject such Party to any liability to the other Party, or place them in breach of any term or condition of this Agreement if, and solely to the extent, such failure is caused by Force Majeure. The corresponding obligations of the other Party will be suspended to the same extent. "Force Majeure" shall mean any unanticipated event, reason or cause beyond the reasonable control of a Party (including fire, flood, embargo, power shortage or failure, acts of war, insurrection, riot, terrorism, strike, lockout or other labor disturbance, epidemic, failure or default of public utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, earthquake, or storm or like catastrophe, acts of God or any acts, omissions or delays in acting of the other Party); provided, however, that the Party affected shall, within five (5) days of its occurrence, notify the other Party, stating the nature of the condition constituting Force Majeure as defined herein, its anticipated duration and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect. Then, such Party shall exert commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate, cure and overcome any such causes and to resume performance of its obligations with all possible speed. If a condition constituting Force Majeure as defined herein prevents, or would likely prevent, a Party from performing its obligations under this Agreement for more than sixty (60) days, the Parties shall meet to negotiate a mutually satisfactory solution to the problem, if practicable, including the use of a Third Party to fulfill the obligations hereunder of the Party invoking the Force Majeure.
9.5 Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of the Agreement.

9.6 Independent Contractor. Each Party shall be acting as an independent contractor in performing under this Agreement and shall not be considered or deemed to be an agent, employee, joint venture or partner of the other Party. Neither Party to this Agreement shall have any express or implied right or authority to assume or create any obligations on behalf of, or in the name of, the other Party, or to bind the other Party to any contract, agreement or undertaking with any Third Party.
9.7 Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and enter into a valid, legal and enforceable substitute provision that most nearly reflects the original intent of the Parties. All other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction. Such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
9.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, either express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Third Party (other than Jaguar Health, Inc.) any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under, or by reason of, this Agreement.
9.9 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by authorized representatives of Napo and Glenmark, and specifically referencing this Agreement.
9.10 Governing Law. This Agreement and all questions regarding the existence, validity, interpretation, breach or performance of this Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of State of New York, without reference to its conflicts of law principles.
9.11 Dispute Resolution.
A. In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity thereof (hereinafter referred to as "Dispute”), between the Parties that relates to interpretation of a Party's rights and/or obligations hereunder or any alleged breach of this Agreement, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with this Section. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, however, nothing herein contained shall preclude a party from seeking equitable remedies in any court of competent jurisdiction.
B. Any Dispute shall be referred for decision forthwith to a senior executive of each Party not involved in the Dispute. If no agreement is reached within thirty (30) days of the request by one Party to the other to refer the same to such senior executive, then the Parties agree to attempt to settle such Dispute through good faith non-binding mediation efforts. If after a period of thirty (30) days, the Parties have not settled the Dispute by non-binding mediation, then any such Dispute which does not involve a claim for equitable relief shall be settled by Arbitration according to the provisions of Section 9.11C.
C. Any Dispute that is not resolved in accordance with Section 9.11B shall be decided by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"); such arbitration to be held in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York on an expedited basis. Each Party hereby expressly waives any right to object to such jurisdiction on the basis of venue or forum non-convenience. Any arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators. One arbitrator shall be selected by Napo, one arbitrator shall be selected by Glenmark and the third arbitrator shall be selected by the two arbitrators so selected. The arbitrators shall have no power to change the provisions of this Agreement nor to make an award of reformation. The award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the Parties hereto, and judgment upon the award rendered may be entered by either Party in any court that has jurisdiction over the Parties or the subject matter of the controversy or claim.
22|Page |
The expense of such arbitration, including attorneys' fees, shall be allocated between the Parties as the arbitrators shall decide. The arbitration panel shall prepare and deliver to the Parties a written, reasoned opinion conferring its decision. Both Parties, solely for the purpose of collection of a judgment against them, consent to jurisdiction and venue in New York, New York, USA.
9.12 No Waiver. The failure of either Party to enforce at any time for any period the provisions of, or any rights deriving from this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions or rights, or the right of such Party thereafter to enforce such provisions.
9.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the respective Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect of it) by facsimile or other electronic transmission, if identified and complete, will be regarded as an original signature and shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of each such instrument.
9.14 Further Assurances. Each Party shall duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts and things, including the filing of such assignments, the execution and delivery of such agreements, documents and instruments as may be necessary, or as the other Party may reasonably request, in connection with the Parties’ respective performances or obligations under this Agreement, or to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes hereof, or to better assure and confirm unto such other Party its rights and remedies under this Agreement.
9.15 Export Control. This Agreement is made subject to any restrictions concerning the export of products or technical information from the United States or other countries that may be imposed on the Parties from time to time. Each Party agrees that it will not export, directly or indirectly, any technical information acquired from the other Party under this Agreement or any products using such technical information to a location or in a manner that at the time of export requires an export license or other governmental approval, without first obtaining the written consent to do so from the appropriate agency or other governmental entity in accordance with Applicable Law.

The headings and captions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe, extend, or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or the intent of any provision contained in this Agreement.
