The decision of the Third Party shall be deemed final and binding on both Parties as to any dispute over Product compliance with the warranties in 9.2. Should the Third Party’s testing determine that the delivered Product does not conform to the Specifications or other warranties in Section 9.2, then (i) FIS shall bear all costs for the independent laboratory testing, (ii) Acadia shall have the right to reject such Batch of Product, and (iii) the Parties shall proceed according to Section 10.1. However, if said Product is determined by the Third Party to conform to the Specifications and other warranties in Section 9.2, then Acadia shall bear all costs of the independent laboratory and compensate FIS for the rejected Products (if Acadia has not previously paid for it), the replacement delivery (if any), and the transportation costs stated in Section 3.9 as set out in this Agreement.
3.11A storage fee shall apply for any Product stored by FIS or on behalf of FIS for more than [***] months from the date of release of the Product, such storage fee as set forth in the applicable CSA Attachment.
3.12No later than [***] months after the Product has obtained regulatory approval, the Parties will negotiate and mutually agree in writing on the quantity of safety stock of Intermediates, and Materials, if any, to be carried by FIS to be utilized by FIS for fulfillment of Services for Acadia at a later date to ensure that there is a continuity of Product supply in the marketplace (“Safety Stock”), at Acadia’s expense. FIS will maintain and continually replenish, at Acadia’s expense (based on FIFO and FEFO methods to usage) a rolling Safety Stock of Intermediates and Materials, as the case may be, in the quantities agreed to in writing by the Parties, as well as the threshold levels of Safety Stock that must be maintained at all times, taking into account procurement lead time of all Product specific Materials and Product production cycle times. The Safety Stock will be in place at Acadia’s expense within [***] months after regulatory approval or within a timeframe mutually agreed upon by both Parties in writing taking into consideration reasonable time to build it. Once Safety Stock is in place, FIS will replace any defective Intermediates and Materials by utilizing Safety Stock. FIS will promptly notify Acadia of any reduction in Safety Stock and the level of any Safety Stock until such time as Safety Stock is replenished to the original agreed upon level. FIS will: (i) store and handle all Safety Stock in accordance with Acadia’s handling and storage instructions and cGMP, and will take necessary care to prevent its damage, loss or theft; (ii) clearly identify all such Safety Stock in storage and in its books as goods belonging to Acadia; and (iii) always use FIFO and FEFO methods of usage for Safety Stock.

6.2If Acadia designates certain vendors in accordance with and if set forth in the Quality Agreement, then FIS shall obtain respective Raw Material(s) or services only from such designated vendors.
6.3Acadia shall procure supply of Consigned Materials in sufficient quantities necessary to enable FIS to manufacture and supply Product in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable CSA Attachment, at Acadia’s costs and expenses. At Acadia’s option, the Consigned Materials may be delivered directly from Acadia’s vendor to FIS at the vendor’s or Acadia’s costs and expenses.
6.4Consigned Materials shall be delivered to FIS by the delivery date or timeframe as mutually agreed by the Parties in writing.
6.5FIS agrees that Consigned Materials shall: (i) be used solely for the purpose of the manufacture and supply of Product; (ii) be used in compliance with all Applicable Laws; and (iii) not be transferred to any Third Party, except to any Affiliate or subcontractor of FIS to which Acadia has consented in writing pursuant to Section 2.1, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing.
6.6Acadia shall retain all right, title and interest in and to all Consigned Material delivered to FIS. FIS shall be liable for loss of or damage to Consigned Material after delivery to FIS, only if such loss or damage was caused by FIS’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.
7.1Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or in a CSA Attachment or as the Parties may otherwise agree in writing, each Party owns, and shall continue to own, its Background Intellectual Property, without conferring or transferring any interests therein on the other Party. Without prejudice to the above, Acadia shall own all right, title, and interest in and to any and all Intellectual Property in accordance with Applicable Laws, including all Inventions, directed to (a) the composition of the Product, Active Ingredient and any modification, improvement, or derivative thereof, (b) the use of the Product, Active Ingredient, and any modifications or improvements thereof, (c) the methods of making the Product and Active Ingredient, including any processes, methods or procedures, related to the processing of the Products including analytical methods directed to the Product and developed in the provision of the Services, and (d) any Intellectual Property that arises from the performance of the Services by either Party (“Product IP”), and to the maximum extent allowed by the Applicable Laws FIS shall and hereby does assign all right, title, and interest in and to the Product IP to Acadia or its designated Affiliate. FIS shall, upon the request of Acadia, execute such documents, including any and all applications, assignments, or other instruments, give any testimony, and take such other actions as Acadia deems necessary to apply for, secure, and maintain patent or other proprietary protection in the United States or any
other country with respect to Product IP, provided that Acadia shall compensate FIS and/or FIS’ Affiliates, as applicable, for its reasonable and documenteded out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with such actions. Excluding the Product IP, FIS shall own all Inventions and other Intellectual Property made or conceived in connection with the Services (collectively, “Vendor IP”). Further, FIS will not use FIS Background IP for performance of Services under this Agreement unless expressly agreed in writing with Acadia prior to its use. Contingent on Acadia paying FIS all amounts due under this Agreement, FIS hereby grants to Acadia or its designated Affiliate a fully paid-up, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, world-wide, non-exclusive license, and with a right to sublicense (unless Acadia permits FIS Background IP to be used in which case Section 7.2 shall apply) and to use and exploit the Vendor IP as far as necessary for the further development, manufacture and distribution of the Product. Except for the licenses set forth in herein, FIS grants no license, express or implied, to Acadia to use or exploit the Vendor IP (including FIS’ Confidential Information) for any other purpose. The license granted to Acadia in this Section shall be irrevocable with respect to the Product. During the term of this Agreement, Acadia hereby grants to FIS a royalty-free, world-wide (unless the relevant Intellectual Property is otherwise limited), non-exclusive license, with the right to sublicense to FIS’ approved subcontractors, to use and practice the Intellectual Property Controlled by Acadia solely as necessary for performance of the Services. Except for the license set forth in the foregoing sentence, Acadia grants no license, express or implied, to FIS to use or practice any of the Intellectual Property of Acadia for any other purpose.
7.2In the event that FIS proposes to use, in the preparation of a Product under a CSA Attachment, any FIS Background IP, FIS shall provide written notice to Acadia describing in reasonable detail FIS’s proposed use of such FIS Background IP in the preparation of the Product. Acadia at its sole discretion may elect to incorporate such FIS Background IP into the preparation of the Product by written election to FIS, and upon such election, the applicable terms and conditions for use of such FIS Background IP will be documented in a written agreement of the Parties and in accordance with this paragraph. If so elected, Acadia will pay FIS for the rights to use such FIS Background IP and to that end the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to provide Acadia with license rights to use such FIS Background IP (and any related FIS Background IP patent rights) subject to an adequate fee payment by Acadia to FIS, which shall be on commercially reasonable terms and conditions.
7.3All project data generated or obtained by FIS or by Acadia, whether obtained solely by one Party or jointly by both Parties, in the performance of this Agreement shall be solely owned by Acadia and shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of Acadia (the "Project Data"). Upon completion of Services or a milestone set forth in a CSA Attachment, FIS shall send to Acadia complete copies of all Project Data generated by FIS and its subcontractors and Affiliates. The Project Data shall be prepared, documented, and communicated by FIS in a manner consistent with the Specifications and applicable CSA Attachment or as otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties in writing.
8.Regulatory Matters, Inspections, Audits, Notification and Recall
8.1Except as required by Applicable Laws, Acadia shall be solely responsible for all contacts and communications with any Regulatory Authority with respect to all matters relating to Products and Services. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, FIS shall not
initiate or participate in any communications with domestic or foreign Regulatory Authority concerning the Services or Products provided for hereunder unless so required by Applicable Laws or requested by Acadia in writing, and then, if and to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws, only upon prior consultation with Acadia. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that FIS will keep direct contacts with the Italian Regulatory Authorities as required by local laws. At the request of Acadia and at Acadia’s expense, FIS shall make appropriate personnel reasonably available for meetings with Regulatory Authorities related to the manufacturing of Products. If and to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Laws FIS shall notify Acadia immediately, and in no event later than [***] Business Days, after receiving any contact or communication from any Regulatory Authority that in any way relates to Consigned Materials, Product, or to Product related Services.
8.2If and to the extent not prohibited under Applicable Laws, FIS shall notify Acadia in writing of all Regulatory Authority inspections related to Product that take place at the Facility where the Product is manufactured, including any facilities where cGMP operations are performed by FIS on behalf of Acadia, or the testing laboratory where any of the associated Product testing is performed. If and to the extent not prohibited under Applicable Laws, Acadia shall be notified in advance of any scheduled inspections that may impact the Product or its testing. For unannounced inspections relevant to Product, if and to the extent not prohibited under Applicable Laws, FIS shall notify Acadia in a reasonable timeframe but not more than [***] Business Day after the inspection has begun. Acadia shall have the option to be present or have a representative of Acadia present, however, always in the back-office only, during a regulatory inspection related to Product. If during the inspection, a request to collect a sample of Product that FIS supplies to Acadia or Acadia related records from the Facility is made, if and to the extent not prohibited under Applicable Laws, FIS shall immediately (and in any event within [***] Business Day) contact Acadia and ensure a duplicate sample of Product that FIS supplies to Acadia is collected and retained. In all cases, if and to the extent not prohibited under Applicable Laws, a written notification of the results of the inspection shall be provided to Acadia. Such notification shall include: (a) written notification of any observation, if any, including, without limitation, any observation that may impact the manufacture of the Product; (b) where possible, FIS shall provide the actual documentation of such observations. Documentation may be redacted of information that does not relate, directly or indirectly, to Acadia or Product, or any facilities at which Product is manufactured; (c) written notification of all related corrective actions and planned completion dates; and (d) any further correspondence with the Regulatory Authority when relevant to Acadia or the Product. If and to the extent not prohibited under Applicable Laws, any written response to inspectional observations related to the Product shall be submitted to Acadia and subject to Acadia approval in writing prior to submission of the response to any Regulatory Authority. Acadia shall be actively involved in the development and approval of any corrective action plan related to Product.
8.3Acadia hereby acknowledges that it may not direct the manner in which FIS fulfils its obligations to permit inspection by governmental entities and Regulatory Authorities in accordance with this Agreement. FIS shall comply in all material respects with all regulatory requirements with respect to Product that are imposed upon FIS (as the provider of Services hereunder) by Applicable Laws from time-to-time, including those relating to environmental, health, and safety matters.
8.4FIS shall allow Acadia representatives to carry out on-site audits by appointment. FIS shall permit all reasonable access to any manufacturing, packaging, warehousing and laboratory areas related to the Product or used in the Services thereof, including pertinent documentation, during normal
business hours on reasonable prior notice. The results of the audit and the observation(s) shall be sent to FIS by means of a written report. FIS must ensure a satisfactory follow up to the observations made during the audit performed by Acadia, and take corrective actions mutually agreed upon by the Parties. Audit observations shall have a written response to Acadia within [***] Business Days. The frequency of the audit shall depend upon the results of the audit and the quality performance of FIS. In the absence of critical quality incidents the frequency shall be not more than [***] audit every [***] years with maximum of [***] auditors and 1 subject matter expert at each audit. Acadia shall have the right to audit more frequently if quality issues arise or if regulatory action is pending. Acadia reserves the right to request additional audits of FIS due to issues related to the quality of the API or manufacturing conditions (“For Cause Audit”). FIS will not unreasonably withhold granting a For Cause Audit.
8.5Each Party shall notify the other Party promptly of any serious or unexpected adverse reaction from the use of the Materials or Product, as set forth in the relevant Quality Agreement.
8.6Acadia is ultimately responsible for all Recalls and other similar actions (e.g., field alerts, clinical withdraw). In the event either Party believes it may be necessary to conduct a Recall, or other similar actions, the Parties shall manage the Recall or other similar actions in accordance to the terms outlined in the Quality Agreement. For clarity, Acadia will have the sole right, in its discretion, to determine whether to conduct a Recall or other similar action, and shall notify FIS of any decision of Acadia to conduct a Recall or other similar action. Under no circumstances shall FIS be prohibited hereunder from taking any action that it is required to take by Applicable Law.

9.5EXCEPT AS STATED IN SECTION 9 OF THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCT, MATERIALS OR SERVICES AND DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
10. Liability and Indemnity
10.1If FIS is unable to meet the agreed time lines regarding the delivery of the Product or the rendering of the Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and applicable CSA Attachment, or in case the Service or the Product is rejected by Acadia in accordance with Section 2.9 or Section 3.9 of this Agreement (in which case, then this paragraph is subject to Section 2.10 and 3.10 of this Agreement, if applicable), FIS shall either (i) in the case of delay, deliver the delayed Product or render the delayed Services respectively, or (ii) in the case of rejection of the Services or Product, replace the rejected Services with Services that conform to the applicable CSA Attachment or replace the rejected Product with Product that conforms with the warranties in Section 9.2 as soon as possible, reasonably prioritizing the manufacture of Product over the manufacturing of product for other FIS customers until such supply problem has been cured, and in either case of clause (i) or (ii) hereabove at no additional cost to Acadia and FIS shall bear the full manufacturing cost of replacement of any Services or Product, including (a) the purchasing cost of Raw Materials and Consigned Materials and (b) the cost of destruction of any non-conforming Product, or (ii) if delivery of conforming Product or rendering of conforming Services is not possible within reasonable additional time, refund to Acadia within [***] Business Days all amounts theretofore paid by Acadia to FIS for such late or rejected Product or Services and costs of Consigned Materials. If FIS does not fulfill its delivery obligations with regard to Product for any reason other than Acadia’s acts or omissions or a Force Majeure Event within [***] calendar days after the scheduled delivery date then, in addition to prioritizing the manufacture of Product over the manufacture of product for other FIS customers, FIS will reduce the price payable by Acadia to FIS for the Product as follows: the purchase price for the Product shall be reduced by [***] percent ([***]%) of the Firm PO price for each Business Day that the delivery is delayed from the expiry of the above [***] calendar day period; provided however, that any such price reduction shall not exceed [***] percent ([***]%) of the total purchase price in the Firm PO. The remedies set forth in this Section 10.1 will not prejudice any other rights or remedies available to either Party under this Agreement or by Applicable Law.
10.2Acadia Indemnity: Acadia shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless FIS, its directors, officers, employees and agents, from and against liabilities, direct damages, losses, costs (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) and expenses (collectively, “Damages”) resulting from claims, demands, assessments, investigations, suits, actions or legal proceedings (each a “Claim”) brought by any Third Party (including, without limitation, directors, officers, employees or agents of Acadia) arising directly out of, or in direct connection with, (i) Acadia’s use or sale of the Products, (ii) Acadia’s performance of its obligations hereunder, (iii) processing Product using Acadia’s Background Intellectual Property, (iv) the gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct of Acadia (or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents), (iv) Acadia’s material breach of any of the terms of this Agreement, or (v) Acadia’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement being untrue in any material respect when made.

10.4Should a Party (including its directors, officers, employees or agents) (the "Indemnitee") be notified of any Claim in respect of which the other Party (the "Indemnitor") may be reasonably liable under the indemnification obligation provided for in this Section 10, the Indemnitee shall (i) give the Indemnitor prompt written notice thereof; and (ii) give the Indemnitor the opportunity to defend, negotiate, and settle (under the Indemnitor's sole control and at the latter's cost and expense) any such Claim. To such extent, the Indemnitee shall provide the Indemnitor with all information reasonably in its possession, and all reasonable authority and assistance necessary to enable Indemnitor to defend, negotiate, compromise or settle any such Claim. The Indemnitee shall further cooperate fully with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives (at the Indemnitor's sole cost and expense) in the investigation, negotiation, compromise, settlement and defense of such Claim. In any case, it is hereby understood that (i) the Indemnitee reserves the right to retain its own counsel
to defend itself (at its own cost and expense) in such Claim; and (ii) in no event shall either Party be responsible to or bound by any settlement made by the other Party without its prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless the settlement provides for a full release of the Indemnitee, including no admission of fault and no financial or other obligations.
10.5NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER LANGUAGE HEREIN, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, including but not limited to claims based on lost profits, loss of time, loss of opportunity or any other economic loss suffered or incurred as a result of this Agreement, whether such loss or damage may be based upon principles of contract, warranty, negligence or other tort, breach of any statutory duty, principles of indemnity or contribution, the failure of any limited or exclusive remedy to achieve its essential purpose or otherwise; provided, however, that this Section 10.5 shall not be construed to limit either Party’s indemnification obligations under Section 10 or liability for breach of Sections 7 (Intellectual Property) or 11 (Confidentiality).
10.6Except for any liability arising from gross negligence, bad faith, or wilful misconduct, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, FIS’s total liability, in the aggregate, for any and all direct claims and losses occurring in a particular calendar year, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs of any nature whatsoever or expenses, resulting from this Agreement shall not exceed [***]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) in no event shall this Section 10.6 apply to liability for breach of Section 11 (Confidentiality); and (b) with respect to FIS’s indemnification obligations under Section 10, FIS’s total liability, in the aggregate, for any and all claims and losses occurring in a particular calendar year shall not exceed [***].
10.7FIS represents, warrants and covenants that it has and shall maintain in effect adequate commercial and general liability insurance coverage consistent with industry standards for a company performing the types of services FIS performs, provided such insurance shall include liability limits of not less than [***] million U.S. dollars ($[***]) in the aggregate per year. Such insurance shall be issued by duly licensed and financially sound companies that meet industry solvency requirements. If such insurance is written on a claims made basis, FIS shall maintain the described insurance coverage for not less than [***] years from the last commercial sale containing Product produced by FIS under this Agreement. Such insurance policy shall name Acadia as additional insured. Upon written request by Acadia, FIS shall as soon as reasonably possible provide written evidence (e.g., certificates) of such insurance.
10.8Acadia has and shall maintain in effect adequate commercial and general liability insurance coverage to cover its obligations under this Agreement. Such insurance shall be issued by duly licensed and financially sound companies that meet industry solvency requirements. Upon written request by FIS, Acadia shall provide written evidence (e.g., certificates) of such insurance.
11.1Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean all non-public, proprietary or confidential information, of whatever nature and in whatever form expressed, disclosed directly or indirectly by or on behalf of either Party (as the case may be, the “Discloser”) to the other Party (as the case may be, the “Recipient”) hereunder, on or after the Effective Date in connection with this Agreement or before the Effective Date in connection with the Master Services Agreement where that Confidential Information is being used in connection with this Agreement, which information includes without limitation any data, research, development, manufacturing, marketing, financial, personnel, and business information, including without limitation, any know-how, knowledge, techniques, methods, formula, expertise, trade secrets, or documents of any type or nature, tangible or intangible, as well as processes, operations, technologies, and forecasts disclosed, supplied, made available, or provided by the Discloser to the Recipient in connection with or relating to this Agreement or a CSA Attachment or a Firm PO. The Discloser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mark Confidential Information disclosed in written, graphic or electronic form, as “confidential” or, if oral, reduce the Confidential Information to writing and mark it as confidential [***] days of the oral disclosure; provided, however, that if Discloser does not so mark or otherwise reduce Confidential Information to writing, such information shall continue to be deemed confidential if the Recipient knows or should reasonably know, from the context in which the information is disclosed or due to the nature of the type of information disclosed, that such information is confidential. With the exception of FIS’s Background IP and the Vendor IP, if applicable, synthetic processes, reagents and Intermediates information for the preparation of each Product developed by FIS on behalf of Acadia hereunder shall be the Confidential Information of Acadia.
11.2Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, for the term of this Agreement and any extension thereof and for [***] years thereafter, the Recipient (i) shall keep confidential any and all Confidential Information of the Discloser, (ii) shall limit access to the same to only those employees, directors, officers, consultants and agents (collectively, such Recipient’s “Representatives”) who, under the Recipient’s direct control, will be engaged in fulfilling the Recipient’s obligations under this Agreement and who are aware of the confidential nature of the information and bound in writing (including employment contracts or manuals) to Recipient, or bound by law and aware of such obligation under law, to keep such information confidential on terms no less restrictive than those contained herein, and (iii) shall not publish or otherwise disclose or use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement or in a CSA Attachment or in a Firm PO.
11.3At no time shall Discloser’s Confidential Information be employed or used by Recipient or its Representatives for any purpose other than as described herein or disclosed or provided to any Third Party, other than as provided for herein, without the prior written consent of the Discloser.
11.4The foregoing obligations of confidentiality and non-use by the Recipient and its Representatives shall not apply to Confidential Information of the Discloser:
(i)which was known to the Recipient prior to this Agreement as evidenced by its written records (except Confidential Information of the Discloser which was known to the Recipient as a result of prior confidential disclosures to the Recipient by the Discloser or work performed by the Recipient for the Discloser and paid by the Discloser);
(ii)which is or becomes generally available to the public by use, publication or the like, through no fault of the Recipient or its Representatives, nor breach of this Agreement;
(iii)which is disclosed to the Recipient by a Third Party who has the legal right to disclose such Confidential Information of the Discloser; or
(iv)which is independently developed by the Recipient without reference to or any other use of any Confidential Information of the Discloser.
11.5Subject to Section 11.7, each Party may disclose Confidential Information belonging to the other Party to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with Applicable Laws, requirements of any Regulatory Authority, or if compelled under an order of a court or other legal proceeding.
11.6Each Party will protect the other Party’s Confidential Information to the same extent that it protects its own confidential information of a similar nature, and in no event using less than a reasonable degree of care. Each Party will be responsible for any breach of the confidentiality and non-use obligations of this Agreement by its Representatives. In the event of any unauthorized disclosure or use, the Recipient shall promptly notify the Discloser in writing and use reasonable commercial efforts to remediate any damage resulting from such unauthorized disclosure or use.
11.7Except as otherwise agreed to herein, if a Party is required by Applicable Law, court order or other legal proceeding to disclose any Confidential Information of the Discloser to a Regulatory Authority or to any other party, unless prohibited under Applicable Laws, such Party shall to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws immediately notify in writing to the other Party all details of the required disclosure in order to allow the other Party to intercede and/or oppose and/or limit and/or condition such disclosure prior to the making the same. In the event disclosure is compelled, Recipient shall disclose only the minimum Confidential Information required under Applicable Laws. All information disclosed under this Section shall continue to be deemed confidential for all other purposes.
11.8Each of the Parties agrees and acknowledges that the breach of the confidentiality and non-use obligations provided in this Section 11 may not result in actual damages and that any remedy at law may be inadequate. Accordingly, each of the Parties further agrees and accepts that the Discloser, in addition to any other relief, may seek injunctive or other provisional relief to preserve its rights under this Agreement upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction.
11.9 Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11, each Party agrees not to disclose to any Third Party the existence of this Agreement or the terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, except that each Party may disclose the terms of this Agreement that are not otherwise made public as contemplated by this Section 11.9 and as permitted under Sections 11.4 and 11.7. Additionally, either Party shall have the right, if previously agreed in writing with the other Party, to issue press releases relating to future events occurring in connection with this Agreement subject to confidentiality obligations as set forth above. Each Party shall have the right to disclose the terms of this Agreement and any CSA Attachment as required by Applicable Laws including without limitation disclosure requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or any stock exchange on which securities issued by either Party or its Affiliates are traded. The Parties will coordinate in advance with each other in connection with the filing of this Agreement (including redaction of certain provisions of this Agreement) with the SEC or any stock exchange on which securities issued by a Party or its
Affiliate are traded, and each Party will use reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment for the terms proposed to be redacted; provided that each Party will ultimately retain control over what information to disclose to the SEC or any stock exchange as the case may be.
11.10Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, each Party shall, upon the other Party’s request, immediately deliver to the other (and cause any of its Representatives to so deliver), at such Party’s expense, all Confidential Information of the other Party, including without limitation any and all copies, duplications, summaries and/or notes thereof or derived thereof, regardless of the format, and all remaining samples of Product that FIS supplies to Acadia or Materials, provided however, that both Parties may keep original documents, copies and samples to the extent such retention is required by any Applicable Laws or for archival purposes subject to a continuing obligation of confidentiality.
11.11The Recipient shall not obtain, and shall not attempt to obtain, patent coverage or any other sort of proprietary right on the Confidential Information of the Discloser or on any invention, substance, or process that could not have been made but for knowledge of such Confidential Information. Neither Party shall be deemed by this Agreement to have granted to the other Party any right or license under any patent application, issued patent, know-how or other proprietary information of such Party except as expressly set forth herein.
12.1This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Agreement, shall continue in full force and effect for an initial period of three (3) years (the “Initial Period”).
12.2This Agreement shall automatically renew for consecutive two (2) year periods each, unless one of the Parties notifies the other of its election not to renew this Agreement either (a) at least twelve (12) months prior to the renewal date, or (b) if there remains open a binding period set for in a CSA Attachment, then notice to not renew must be at least sixty (60) days greater than the length of the binding period. If such a notice is timely provided prior to the end of the Initial Period or any renewal period then in effect, this Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of such term.
12.3Each Party may terminate this Agreement or any outstanding CSA Attachment (i) for material breach by the other Party, (ii) upon [***] calendar days written notice to the other Party specifying the nature of such material breach and (iii) if such breach has not been substantially cured within such [***] day period.
12.4At any time in which no CSA Attachment remains outstanding, either Party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice to the other Party.
12.5Acadia may, with or without cause, fully or partially cancel any CSA Attachment without terminating this Agreement, upon ninety (90) calendar days written notice to FIS, provided, that in such case, to the extent the relevant CSA Attachment does not set forth specific terms for amounts payable for cancellation of such CSA Attachment, Acadia shall,
(a)pay FIS for work actually performed up to such termination date, at the full rate applicable under the CSA Attachment;
(b)reimburse FIS the full value of any Products for which a Firm PO and/or Binding Part of a Rolling Forecast were delivered to FIS by or on behalf of Acadia in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement or the applicable CSA Attachment.
(c)reimburse FIS for all costs incurred or irrevocably committed by FIS prior to the notification date; and
(d)reimburse FIS for the full out-of-pocket costs of any non-returnable auxiliary material (including, without limitation, Raw Materials and packaging material) purchased by FIS for manufacture and release of the Product that cannot be used for the manufacture of other products.
Acadia shall pay FIS’s invoice for the aggregate amount payable under this Section 12.5 within [***] calendar days from Acadia’s receipt of the invoice.
12.6Either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately by providing written notice to the other Party:

13.9Severability. If any portion of this Agreement is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed to be of no force and effect and this Agreement shall be construed as if such portion had not been included herein, provided however, if the deletion of such provision materially impairs the commercial value of this Agreement to either Party, the Parties shall attempt to renegotiate such provision in good faith. The fact that any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
