ARTICLE 2
PATHEON'S MANUFACTURING SERVICES
2.1 Manufacturing Services.
(c) Patheon shall provide – upon Customer’s request - the Manufacturing Services for the Territory for the fees specified in Schedules B and C in order to produce Products for Customer. Schedule B sets forth in detail cost items that are included in the Price for Products and those cost items excluded from the Price that are subject to additional fees to be paid by the Customer.
(d) Patheon may change the Manufacturing Site for the labelling, packaging and quality control of the Products only with the prior written consent of Customer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Patheon shall communicate such change to Customer well in advance, providing adequate time to allow Customer to comply with any regulatory requirement requested by any Applicable Law. It is understood that Customer’s costs associated to Patheon’s decision shall be agreed between the Parties in good faith, based on the principle that they shall be borne by the Party who would receive an incremental economic benefit in connection to such change. For instance, in case of Patheon’s decision to move its manufacturing facility for purposes related to the rationalization of its work force, Patheon shall bear all regulatory costs which Customer may incur.
(e) In providing the Manufacturing Services, Patheon and Customer agree that:
(i) | Conversion of Active Materials and Components. Patheon shall convert Active Materials and Components into Products; |
(ii) | Quality Control and Quality Assurance. Patheon shall perform the quality control and quality assurance testing specified in the Quality Agreement. Batch review and release to Customer shall be the responsibility of Patheon’s quality assurance group. Patheon shall perform its batch review and release responsibilities in accordance with standard operating procedures. Each time Patheon ships Products to Customer, it shall provide Customer with the documentation required by the terms of the Quality Agreement. Customer will have sole responsibility for the release of Products to the market. |
(iii) | Components. Patheon shall purchase and test all Components at Patheon's expense and as specified by the Specifications. |
(iv) | Stability Testing. Patheon shall conduct stability testing on the Products in accordance with the protocols set out in the Specifications for the separate fees, during the time periods specified in Schedule C and or in the Quality Agreement. No changes shall be made to these testing protocols without prior written approval from Customer. In the event of a confirmed stability test failure, Patheon will notify Customer |

[ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
within one Business Day, after which Patheon and Customer shall jointly determine the proceedings and methods to be undertaken to investigate the causes of such failure, including which party shall bear the cost of such investigation. Patheon will procure the provision of any and all data and results relating to the stability testing upon request by Customer.
(v) | Packaging. Patheon shall pack the Products as set out in the Specifications. Customer shall be responsible for the cost of artwork development. Patheon shall make arrangements for and implement the imprinting of batch numbers and expiration dates for each Product shipped. Such batch numbers and expiration dates shall be affixed on the Products and on the shipping carton of each Product as outlined in the Specifications and as required by cGMPs. The system used by Patheon for batch numbering and expiration dates is detailed in Schedule E hereto. Customer may, in its sole discretion, make changes to labels, product inserts and other packaging for the Products, which changes shall be submitted by Customer to all applicable governmental agencies and other third parties responsible for the approval of the Products. Customer shall be responsible for the cost of labelling obsolescence when changes occur, as contemplated in Section 4.4. Patheon’s name shall not appear on the label or anywhere else on the Products unless: (i) required by any Laws; or (ii) Customer asks and Patheon expressly consents to such use of its name in writing. |
(vi) | Active Materials and Customer Supplied Components. With a target of forty-five (45) days prior to the scheduled production date, Customer shall furnish to Patheon at the Manufacturing Site, DDP (Incoterms 2010), the Active Materials, free of charge in such quantities as are necessary to enable Patheon to manufacture the ordered quantities of Product on the requested Delivery Date. If such Active Materials are not received forty-five (45) days in advance, Patheon will make commercially reasonable efforts to achieve the agreed Delivery Date. In the event that this is not possible solely due to the late delivery of API then the Parties will meet to agree a new mutually acceptable Delivery Date, such date to be as early as reasonably practicable. If, upon delivery of Active Materials on time, Patheon fails to meet the Delivery Date, the following Article 5.5 shall apply. All shipment of Active Material shall be accompanied by certificate(s) of analysis from the Active Material manufacturer and the Customer, confirming the identity, purity and compliance with the Active Material specifications. |

[ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(vii) | Product Rejection for Finished Product Specification Failure. The Specifications will be those included in the regulatory submissions of the Customer or subsequent mutually approved revisions. If Patheon manufactures Product in accordance with the agreed upon process specifications and a batch or portion of batch of Product does not meet a finished Product Specification, Parties shall jointly determine the proceedings and methods to be undertaken to investigate the causes of such failure, including which Party shall bear the cost of such investigation. After the investigation will have determined which Party is responsible for the failure, either Customer shall pay Patheon the relevant fee per unit for such non-conforming Product or - in the event that a failure occurs which is due to Patheon’s non-compliance with the agreed upon Specifications – article 6.3 shall apply. |

Patheon shall communicate to Customer such event well in advance, providing adequate time to allow Customer to comply with any regulatory requirement requested by any Applicable Law. It is understood that Customer’s costs associated to Patheon’s decision, if any, shall be borne by Patheon or discussed in good faith in case there will be positive effects on Customer’s processes.
The subcontracting of any Services hereunder to the Subcontractor by Patheon shall not relieve Patheon of, and Patheon shall remain solely liable for, its obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 4
CONVERSION FEES AND COMPONENT COSTS
4.1 First [ * ] Years Pricing.
The Prices for the Products for the first [ * ] Years are listed in Schedules B and C.
4.2 Price Adjustments - Annual or Year over Year Price Adjustments.
The Prices for the Products during any Year following the first [ * ] Years of this Agreement shall be adjusted in accordance with the following:
(a) Manufacturing Costs. Effective at the beginning of each Year of this Agreement, the Parties shall be entitled to an adjustment, either in positive or in negative, to the Manufacturing Services fees in respect of the Products to reflect inflation, which adjustment shall be based on the change in the official index of the industrial producer prices (manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products and pharmaceutical preparation) as determined by the Italian National Statistics Institute (ISTAT) in October of the preceding Year compared to the same month of the Year prior to that;
(b) Pricing Basis. Customer acknowledges that the Price in respect of a Product in any Year is quoted based upon the minimum run quantity per Product specified in Schedule B. For greater certainty, if Patheon and Customer agree that the minimum run quantity in respect of a Product shall be reduced or increased, Patheon's costs to perform the Manufacturing Services and acquire the Materials relating to such Product increase or decrease on a per unit basis, then the Price shall be adjusted respectively.
In connection with a Price adjustment pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 4.2, Patheon shall deliver to Customer on or about the final quarter of each Year, a statement outlining the percentage increase or decrease in the official index of the industrial producer prices (manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products and pharmaceutical preparation) as determined by the Italian National Statistics Institute (ISTAT) upon which such price adjustment is based. The adjusted prices shall be effective as of January 1st of the following
- 8 -
[ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Year in which the adjustment is required. In connection with all Price adjustments pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 4.2, Patheon shall deliver to Customer by not later than the end of November a revised Schedule B in draft form and such budgetary pricing information or other documentation reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that a Price adjustment is justified, provided that Patheon shall have no obligation to provide any supporting documents to the extent such documents are subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers. Upon delivery of such required Price adjustment documentation pursuant to clause (b) herein, each of Customer and Patheon shall forthwith use all reasonable efforts to agree on a revised Price for the Products and Schedule B shall be amended accordingly. Such revised Price shall be effective with respect to any Product delivered after the end of the then current Year. In the event that the Parties fail to reach an agreement on revised pricing, either Party may terminate this agreement subject to the provisions of Article 8.2 with [ * ] notice, provided that during such additional period the Price shall remain the same as before the revision process.
4.3 Price Adjustments – Within the Current Year.
During any Year of this Agreement, following the first [ * ] years, the Prices set out in Schedule B shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with extraordinary increases in Component Costs. A list of Components and their cost is attached as Schedule H. If at any time market conditions result in Patheon's cost of Components being materially higher or lower than normal forecasted increases, then Patheon shall be entitled to an adjustment to the Price in respect of any affected Product to compensate it for such increased or decreased Component costs. For the purposes of this clause (b), changes materially higher or lower than normal forecasted increases shall be considered to have occurred if: (i) the cost of a Component increases or decreases by more than [ * ] of the cost for that Component upon which the most recent fee quote was based; or (ii) the aggregate cost for all Components required to manufacture a Product increases or decreases by more than [ * ] of the total Component costs for such Product upon which the most recent fee quote was based. In connection with a Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.3, Patheon shall deliver to Customer a revised Schedule B and Schedule H and such budgetary pricing information, adjusted Component costs or other documentation reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that a Price adjustment is justified. Patheon will make reasonable efforts to get authorization for full disclosure of such pricing information by the supplier, proving what is already included within the Schedule H. Upon delivery of such required documents, each of Customer and Patheon shall forthwith use all reasonable efforts to agree on a revised Price for each affected Product and Schedule B shall be amended accordingly. In the event that the Parties fail to reach an agreement on revised pricing, either Party may terminate this agreement subject to the provisions of Article 8.2 with [ * ] notice, provided that during such additional period the Price shall remain the same as before the revision process.

4.4 Adjustments Due to Technical Changes.
Amendments to the Specifications or the Quality Agreement requested by Customer will only be implemented following a technical and cost review by Patheon and are subject to Customer and Patheon reaching agreement as to revisions, if any, to the Prices specified in Schedules B or C necessitated by any such amendment. Amendments to the Specifications or the Quality Agreement by Patheon will only be implemented following the approval of Customer, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. If Customer accepts a proposed Price change, the proposed change in the Specifications shall be implemented, and the Price change shall become effective only with respect to those orders of Products that are manufactured in accordance with the revised Specifications. In addition, Customer agrees to purchase, at Patheon's external cost therefore, all Inventory utilized under the "old" Specifications and purchased or maintained by Patheon in order to fill Firm Orders or in accordance with Section 5.2, to the extent that such Inventory can no longer be utilized under the revised Specifications. Open purchase orders for Components no longer required under any revised Specifications that were placed by Patheon with suppliers in order to fill Firm Orders or in accordance with Section 5.2 shall be cancelled where possible, and where such orders are not subject to cancellation without penalty, shall be assigned to and satisfied by Customer.
4.5 Multi-Country Packaging Requirements.
If and when Customer decides that it wishes to have Patheon provide manufacturing services in respect of the Product for countries in addition to those countries comprising the Territory, then Customer shall inform Patheon of the packaging requirements for each new country and Patheon shall prepare a quotation for consideration by Customer of the additional Component costs, if any, and the changeover fees for the Product destined for each such new country. The agreed additional packaging requirements and related packaging costs and change over fees shall be set out in a written amendment to this Agreement.

ORDERS, SHIPMENT, INVOICING, PAYMENT
5.1 Orders and Forecasts.
(c) Rolling Forecasts.

- 10 -
[ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
monthly on or before the 10th day of each calendar month on a rolling [ * ] month basis. The most recent [ * ] month forecast shall prevail. The forecast will include the foreseen quantities of Product divided country by country.
(d) Firm Orders. The first [ * ] months of the initial rolling forecast shall constitute a firm written order ("Firm Order") on the part of the Customer to purchase and, when accepted by Patheon, for Patheon to supply the quantity of the Product. Customer shall place Firm Orders to reflect the latest binding forecast. Such Firm Orders submitted to Patheon shall specify Customer's Manufacturing Services purchase order number, quantities by Product type, monthly delivery schedule and any other elements necessary to ensure the timely production and shipment of the Products. The quantities of Bulk Batches ordered in such written orders shall be firm and binding on Customer and shall not be subject to reduction by Customer.
(e) [ * ] Year Forecast. On or before the 10th day of June of each Year, Customer shall provide Patheon with a written non-binding [ * ]-year forecast (broken down by quarters for [ * ] years of the forecast) of the Bulk Batches of Product Customer then anticipates may be required to be produced and delivered to Customer during the [ * ]-year period.
5.2 Reliance by Patheon.
(a) Customer understands and acknowledges that Patheon will rely on the rolling forecasts and Firm Orders submitted pursuant to Sections 5.1(a) and (b) in ordering or procuring the ordering the Components required to meet such Firm Orders. In addition, Customer understands that to ensure an orderly supply of such Components, it may be desirable for Patheon to purchase such Components in sufficient volumes to meet the production requirements for Products during part or all of the forecasted periods referred to in Section 5.1(a) or to meet the production requirements of any longer period agreed to by Patheon and Customer. Accordingly, Customer authorizes Patheon to purchase Components in order to satisfy the Manufacturing Services requirements for Products only for the binding section of the forecast provided by Customer pursuant to Section 5.1(a) and agrees that Patheon may make such other purchases of Components to meet Manufacturing Services requirements during such longer periods as may be agreed to in writing from time to time by Customer at the request of Patheon or Customer. If Components ordered by Patheon pursuant to Firm Orders or this Section 5.2 are expired without utilization, then Customer shall pay to Patheon its external costs therefor; provided, however, that in the event such Components are incorporated into Products subsequently manufactured for Customer or into third party products manufactured by Patheon for a third party, Customer will receive credit for any costs of such Components previously paid to Patheon by Customer.
(b) Patheon shall provide Customer, initially upon execution of this Agreement and thereafter on an annual basis, with a listing of all Components which are unique to Customer, which Patheon anticipates purchasing or being required to be purchased
- 11 -

pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (in accordance with rolling forecasts and Firm Orders as per Section 5.1(a) and (b)) in the form as set out in Schedule H (the "Exclusive Component Purchasing Summary"). The Exclusive Components Purchasing Summary shall indicate which Components have a limited shelf-life and which are subject to minimum order quantities as specified by the supplier. Subject to the provisions of subsection (a) above, Customer shall be liable for the costs of all Components purchased by Patheon for use under this Agreement not used to perform Manufacturing Services prior to the expiry of the Component’s shelf life.

ARTICLE 6
PRODUCT CLAIMS AND RECALLS
6.1 Product Claims.
(a) Product Claims. Customer has the right to reject any portion of any shipment of Products that deviates from the Specifications, cGMPs or Applicable Laws without invalidating any remainder of such shipment. Customer shall inspect the Products manufactured and the relevant manufacturing documentation by Patheon upon receipt thereof and shall give Patheon written notice (a "Deficiency Notice") of all claims for Products that deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs and Applicable Laws within [ * ] after Customer’s receipt thereof (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, within [ * ] after discovery thereof by Customer, but in no event after the expiration date of the Product). Should Customer fail to provide Patheon with the Deficiency Notice within the applicable [ * ] period, then the delivery shall be deemed to have been accepted by Customer on the [ * ] day after delivery or discovery, as applicable. Except as set out in Section 6.3, Patheon shall have no liability for any deviations for which it has not received notice within the applicable [ * ] period.

[ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(b) Determination of Deficiency. Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Patheon shall have [ * ] to inform Customer by notice in writing that it disagrees with the contents of such Deficiency Notice. If Customer and Patheon fail to agree within [ * ] after Patheon's notice to Customer as to whether any Products identified in the Deficiency Notice deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs or Applicable Laws, then the parties shall mutually select an suitable third party expert if the Products deviate from the Specifications or cGMPs. Such evaluation shall be binding on the parties, and if such evaluation certifies that any Products deviate from the Specifications or cGMPs, Customer may reject those Products in the manner contemplated in this Section 6.1. In that event and assuming that failure is solely due to Patheon’s act or omission, the evaluation costs will be borne by Patheon, otherwise the Customer will be responsible for the evaluation costs. If such evaluation does not show Patheon’s fault, then Customer shall be deemed to have accepted delivery of such Products on the [ * ] day after delivery (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, on the [ * ] day after discovery thereof by Customer, but in no event after the expiration date of the Product).
(c) Shortages. Claims for shortages in the amount of Products shipped by Patheon shall be promptly dealt with by the Parties, in any case by [ * ] from the Delivery Date.
6.2 Product Recalls and Returns.
(a) Records and Notice. Patheon and Customer shall each maintain such records as may be necessary to permit a Recall of any batch delivered to Customer or customers of Customer. Each party shall promptly notify the other by telephone (to be confirmed in writing) of any information which might affect the marketability, safety or effectiveness of the Products and/or which might result in the Recall or seizure of the Products. Upon receiving any such notice or upon any such discovery, each party shall cease and desist from further shipments of batches in its possession or control until a decision has been made whether a Recall or some other corrective action is necessary. The decision to initiate a Recall or to take some other corrective action, if any, shall be made and implemented by Customer. "Recall" shall mean any action (i) by Customer to recover title to or possession of batches of the Products sold or shipped to third parties (including, without limitation, the voluntary withdrawal of Products from the market); or (ii) by any regulatory authorities to detain or destroy any of the Products. Recall shall also include any action by either party to refrain from selling or shipping quantities of the Products to third parties which would have been subject to a Recall if sold or shipped.
(b) Recalls. In the event (i) any governmental or regulatory authority issues a directive, order or, following the issuance of a safety warning or alert with respect to a batch of Product, a written request that any batch be Recalled, (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction orders such a Recall, or (iii) Customer determines that any batch of Product should be Recalled or that a "Dear Doctor" letter is required relating the restrictions on the use of any batch of Product, Patheon will co-operate as reasonably required by Customer, having regard to all applicable laws and regulations.

(c) Product Returns. Customer shall have the responsibility for handling customer returns of the Products. Patheon shall provide Customer with such assistance as Customer may reasonably require to handle such returns.
6.3 Patheon’s Responsibility for Defective and Recalled Products.
(a) Defective Product. In the event Customer rejects Products in accordance with Section 6.1 and the deviation is determined to have arisen from Patheon’s failure to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs and Applicable Laws, Patheon will credit Customer’s account for Patheon’s invoice price for such defective Products. If Customer shall have previously paid for such defective Products, Patheon shall promptly, at Customer’s election, either: (i) refund the invoice price for such defective Products; (ii) offset such amount against other amounts due to Patheon hereunder; or (iii) provide a replacement of such Products with conforming Products without Customer being liable for payment therefor under Section 3.1, contingent upon the receipt by Patheon from Customer of all Active Materials required for the manufacture of such replacement Products.
(b) Recalled Product. To the extent that a Recall or return results from, or arises out of, a failure by Patheon to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs and Applicable Laws, Patheon shall be responsible for the [ * ] expenses of such Recall or return and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to replace at its own expenses the Recalled or returned Products with new Products, contingent upon the receipt from Customer of all Active Materials required for the manufacture of such replacement Products. In the event that Patheon is unable to replace the Recalled or returned Products (except where such inability results from a failure to receive the required Active Materials), then Customer may request Patheon to reimburse Customer for the price that Customer paid to Patheon for Manufacturing Services in respect of the affected Products. In all other circumstances, Recalls, returns or other corrective actions shall be made at Customer's cost and expense.
(c) Product Claims. Except as provided in Sections 6.3(a) and (b) above, neither Patheon nor its Affiliates shall be liable nor have any responsibility for any deficiencies in, or other liabilities associated with, any Product manufactured by it, (collectively, "Product Claims"). For greater certainty, neither Patheon nor its Affiliates shall have any obligation for any Product Claims to the extent such Product Claim (i) is caused by deficiencies with respect to the Specifications, the safety, efficacy or marketability of the Products or any distribution thereof, (ii) results from a defect in a Component that is not reasonably discoverable by Patheon using the test methods set forth in the Specifications, (iii) results from a defect in the Active Materials that is not reasonably discoverable by Patheon using the test methods set forth in the Specifications, (iv) is caused by actions of third parties occurring after such Product is shipped by Patheon pursuant to Section 5.4, (v) is due to packaging or labelling defects or omissions for which Patheon have no responsibility, (vi) is due to any unascertainable reason despite Patheon or its Affiliates having provided the

6.4 Disposition of Defective or Recalled Products.
Customer shall not dispose of any damaged, defective, returned or Recalled Products in relation to which it intends to assert a claim against Patheon without Patheon’s prior written authorization to do so. Alternatively, Patheon may instruct Customer to return such Products to Patheon or its Affiliate. Patheon shall bear the cost of disposition with respect to any damaged, defective, returned or Recalled Products in relation to which it bears responsibility under Section 6.3 hereof. In all other circumstances, Customer shall bear the cost of disposition, including all applicable fees for Manufacturing Services, with respect to any damaged, defective, returned or Recalled Products.
6.5 Healthcare Provider or Patient Questions and Complaints.
Customer shall have the sole responsibility for responding to questions and complaints from its customers. Questions or complaints received by Patheon or its Affiliates from Customer's customers, healthcare providers or patients shall be promptly referred to Customer. Patheon shall co-operate or procure the co-operation of its Affiliate as reasonably required to allow Customer to determine the cause of and resolve any such questions and complaints. Such assistance shall include follow-up investigations, including testing. In addition, Patheon shall provide Customer with all mutually agreed upon information that will enable Customer to respond properly to questions or complaints relating to the Products as provided in the Quality Agreement. Unless it is determined that the cause of any such complaint resulted from a failure by Patheon to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs and Applicable Laws, all costs incurred in respect of this Section 6.5 shall be borne by Customer.
6.6 Sole Remedy. Except for the indemnity provided in Section 10.3 and subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 10.1 and 10.2, the remedies described in this Article 6 shall be Customer’s sole remedy for any failure by Patheon to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs and Applicable Laws.

(c)Verification of CMC. At least [ * ] prior to filing with any Regulatory Authority any documentation which is or is equivalent to the FDA’s Chemistry and Manufacturing Controls (“CMC”) related to any Marketing Authorization, such as a New Drug Application or Abbreviated New Drug Application, Customer shall provide Patheon with a copy of the CMC as well as all supporting documents which have been relied upon to prepare the CMC. Such disclosure shall permit Patheon to verify that the CMC accurately describes the work that Patheon has performed and the manufacturing processes that Patheon will perform pursuant to this Agreement. Customer shall provide Patheon with copies of all Regulatory Authority filings at the time of submission which contain CMC information regarding the Product. However, Customer may submit certain sections of the CMC section as they are finalized and Subcontractor will do its best efforts to verify in any case within [ * ] from receiving the communication, that the described work and manufacturing processes are accurate in order to allow Customer to comply with Regulatory Authority’s requirements.
