3.2 Firm Orders. Subject to Sections 2.2 and 3.5, Takeda shall issue binding written orders in the form of original (i.e., not copies) purchase orders to purchase Batches of the Product under this Agreement (“Firm Orders”), each of which shall specify the type and quantity of Batches of the Product to be delivered and the requested delivery date.

If the JMC does not approve a project and such cost sharing, either Party may escalate the Dispute pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Collaboration Agreement; provided, however, that [***] shall have final decision-making authority or the right to solely decide a Dispute related to a project for capacity expansion pursuant to this Section 4.2. For any capacity expansion project solely for the Territory that is approved by the JMC (or pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Collaboration Agreement), the costs shall be borne [***]. For any other capacity expansion project and cost sharing that is approved by the JMC (or pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Collaboration Agreement), the costs of such project will be borne [***] (or pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Collaboration Agreement).

4.3 Capital and Operating Expenditures. The Parties agree that as of the Effective Date (as such term is defined in the Collaboration Agreement), no new capital expenditures, including equipment, are required by Orexigen or its Third Party Manufacturers to Manufacture the anticipated commercial demand for the Product for the Territory. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.3, Orexigen shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to invest in and implement one or more capital and/or operating expenditure projects that are reasonably deemed by Orexigen to be necessary in order to meet its obligations under this Agreement; provided, that (i) the aggregate cost of such expenditure project(s) (including purchase and implementation costs) in a Calendar Year does not exceed [***] Dollars ($[***]), and (ii) all costs relating to any such expenditure project(s) (including purchase and implementation costs) that do not exceed [***] Dollars ($[***]) in a Calendar Year shall be Period Costs and treated/allocated in accordance with Section 5.3.1.

If the JMC does not approve such expenditure project, either Party may escalate the Dispute pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Collaboration Agreement; provided, however, that [***] shall have final decision-making authority or the right to solely decide a Dispute related to such expenditure project. For such an expenditure project that is approved by the JMC (or pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Collaboration Agreement), the costs shall be Period Costs and treated/allocated in accordance with Section 5.3.1,
| *** | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
Page 10 of 35
unless the Parties agree in good faith and set forth in writing that such costs equally benefit the Product for use in the Territory and for use outside the Territory, in which case such costs will be shared equally. In the event that (a) an expenditure project proposed by Orexigen under this Section 4.3 is not approved by the JMC (or pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Collaboration Agreement), (b) Orexigen fails to deliver Product to Takeda in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (c) such failure by Orexigen to deliver Product is a direct result of Orexigen having not implemented the proposed expenditure project (i.e., that was not approved by the JMC or otherwise by the Parties pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Collaboration Agreement), then such failure by Orexigen to deliver Product to Takeda shall not be deemed a breach of Section 3.6.1(ii) or (iii). For clarity, (1) Orexigen may invest in and implement expenditure projects for the manufacture of the Product for use outside of the Territory in its sole discretion and at its sole cost and benefit, and (2) this Section 4.3 is not intended to address expenditure projects that are intended to be governed by Sections 4.2, 4.4 and 4.5 of this Agreement.
4.4 Quality Improvements. If either Party identifies manufacturing or quality improvements that do not result in cost improvements pursuant to Section 4.5, such Party shall present the proposed projects, expected results and estimated costs thereof to the JMC for consideration. Orexigen shall have the right in its sole discretion to implement any manufacturing or quality improvement projects that are reasonably deemed by Orexigen to be necessary in order to meet its obligations under this Agreement. With respect to any other manufacturing or quality improvement project that is contemplated by a Party and that does not result in cost improvements pursuant to Section 4.5, if the JMC does not approve such other project, either Party may escalate the Dispute pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Collaboration Agreement; provided, however, that [***] shall have final decision-making authority or the right to solely decide a Dispute related to such other project pursuant to this Section 4.4. For any manufacturing or quality improvement project that is approved by the JMC (or pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Collaboration Agreement), or for any manufacturing or quality improvement project that is reasonably deemed by Orexigen to be necessary in order to meet its obligations under this Agreement, the costs of such manufacturing or quality improvement project shall be Period Costs and allocated in accordance with Section 5.3.1(ii)(b). For clarity, Orexigen may perform manufacturing or quality improvement projects for the manufacture of the Product for use outside of the Territory in its sole discretion and at its sole cost and benefit.
4.5 Cost Improvement Opportunities. The Parties agree to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to identify opportunities for cost improvements for Manufacture of the Product for use in the Territory, including cost savings on materials and services, as part of an overall cost improvement program. The Parties shall present to the JMC for consideration the proposed cost improvement projects, expected results, estimated costs thereof, and proposal for the allocation between the Parties of (a) [***], and (b) [***]. If the JMC does not approve a cost improvement project, including such allocation of costs and cost savings, either Party may escalate the Dispute pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Collaboration Agreement; provided, however, that [***] shall have final decision-making authority or the right to solely decide a Dispute related to a cost improvement project pursuant to this Section 4.5.
