PHARMACY AND REMS PHARMACY SERVICES
2.1Services. During the term of the Agreement, all commercial, non-clinical trial Product sold by Jazz Pharmaceuticals or an Authorized Generic Partner, or made available by Jazz Pharmaceuticals through the PAP, in the Territory will be dispensed exclusively through ESSDS pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. ESSDS agrees to provide those pharmacy and REMS services described in this Agreement and written Work Orders hereunder (the
“Pharmacy Services”), including but not limited to pharmacy dispensing services, safety and support services, ancillary supply services, certain education services, and data reporting.
During the term of the Agreement, ESSDS agrees to provide other REMS services described in this Agreement and written Work Orders hereunder (the “REMS Pharmacy Services”), including but not limited to activities directed towards ensuring Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ and each Authorized Generic Partner’s compliance with the requirements of the REMS Program.
The Pharmacy Services and the REMS Pharmacy Services (collectively, the “Services”) to be provided as of the Effective Date of the Agreement are described in written Work Orders hereunder. These Services may be amended from time to time through the addition of a Work Order. Each Work Order will be numbered in consecutive order. Each Work Order will be deemed incorporated into this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Work Order, the terms of this Agreement will govern, unless the Parties have expressly agreed in the Work Order that the Work Order shall amend a specified section of this Agreement, in which case such amendment will only apply to such Work Order.
In addition to the Services set forth in the following, fully executed Work Orders to the Prior 2017 Master Services Agreement and the 2020 Master Services Agreement that are ongoing (“Pre-Existing Work Orders) shall henceforth be considered Work Orders under this Agreement. Each of the Pre-Existing Work Orders shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement as if they were originally executed hereunder, except that the fees associated with the Pre-Existing Work Orders are subject to the annual adjustment specified in Section 3.1, meaning that the fees charged at execution will be those fees agreed upon by the Parties for the calendar year in which the Work Order was executed, [***].
For the avoidance of doubt, Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ commercial function shall have responsibility for Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ oversight of Pharmacy Services, and decisions related to changes to Pharmacy Services shall be directed by personnel in that function. For the avoidance of doubt, Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ non-commercial function of Pharmacovigilance, Quality and Safety shall have responsibility for Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ oversight of the REMS Pharmacy Services, and decisions related to changes to REMS Pharmacy Services shall be directed by personnel in that function. The Services provided by ESSDS pursuant to this Agreement and the Work Orders entered into by the Parties shall include the provision of Services by ESSDS on behalf of Authorized Generic Partners solely with respect to Authorized Generic Product(s).
2.2Modifications in Services. Jazz Pharmaceuticals may propose changes (such as a change in process) to Services through a Work Order by submitting a request in writing setting forth the proposed modifications to such Services (a “Modification Request”). In the event of any Modification Request, or if ESSDS receives a technical direction from Jazz Pharmaceuticals that is reasonably viewed by ESSDS as a Modification Request, ESSDS shall notify Jazz Pharmaceuticals in writing of the anticipated cost impact of such Modification Request. The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith any adjustments to the fees payable under this Agreement that are necessitated by a Modification Request and recognize that ESSDS shall have no obligation to perform modified or additional Services until the Parties have agreed on
the associated fees. A Modification Request must be signed by the Parties.
2.3Exclusive Pharmacy. During the term of this Agreement, all commercial, non-clinical trial Product sold by Jazz Pharmaceuticals or an Authorized Generic Partner, or made available by Jazz Pharmaceuticals through the PAP, in the Territory will be dispensed exclusively through ESSDS pursuant to this Agreement. If, during the term of this Agreement, Jazz Pharmaceuticals no longer utilizes a single pharmacy to dispense Product and Jazz Pharmaceuticals chooses to engage another pharmacy in addition to ESSDS (thus making
ESSDS’s dispensing hereunder non-exclusive), [***]. Furthermore, in the event that Jazz Pharmaceuticals chooses to engage another pharmacy for commercial, non-clinical trial Product in addition to ESSDS, ESSDS shall maintain the right to continue to provide Services to any Patients enrolled in the REMS Program as of the date that ESSDS no longer maintains its exclusive pharmacy status. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Jazz Pharmaceuticals may establish a third party pharmacy to make available commercial, non-clinical trial Product in the Territory if ESSDS does not, or cannot, meet Jazz Pharmaceuticals requirements for dispensing Product in the Territory in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
2.4Data and Data Reports. ESSDS will provide to Jazz Pharmaceuticals or third parties authorized by Jazz Pharmaceuticals, the Data and Data Reports as set forth in any data sharing agreement and/or Work Order. Data will be transferred with the content and in the formats defined in the data sharing agreement and/or Work Order, and will be provided in the manner and frequency defined in the data sharing agreement and/or Work Order.

2.5Warehousing. All commercial, non-clinical trial Product sold, or made available pursuant to this Agreement in the Territory shall be warehoused at ESSDS at the Certified Pharmacy in accordance with any related Work Orders or SOPs, and Work Instructions, and with due care in accordance with the standards and practices which are generally accepted in the industry and exercised by other persons engaged in performing similar services in the local areas and in accordance with Applicable Law.
2.6Quality of Services; Compliance with Applicable Law. XXXXX agrees to perform the Services in a professional and timely manner in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the applicable Work Orders or any mutually agreed Modification Requests, Work Instructions and SOPs and in compliance with Applicable Laws and currently recognized and accepted industry standards. The SOPs and Work Instructions shall not be modified without notice to Jazz Pharmaceuticals unless required by Applicable Law and Jazz
Pharmaceuticals shall have the right in the event of a change to notify ESSDS of any change it believes will be required to the Work Instructions as a result of the change to such SOPs. In such event, the Parties will work together in good faith to determine whether a Modification Request is required. ESSDS shall provide the Services through personnel, who are appropriately skilled, qualified, properly licensed where applicable, and trained to provide Services. ESSDS shall perform the Services at the designated ESSDS locations listed in Exhibit D, ESSDS Locations. The Certified Pharmacy shall maintain all relevant state and federal licenses required by Applicable Law.

ESSDS shall have sole discretion over the management and oversight of its Personnel working on the REMS Pharmacy Services, but will reasonably consult with Jazz Pharmaceuticals with respect to Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ personnel recommendations to help to ensure Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ satisfaction with the REMS Pharmacy Services. ESSDS shall provide opportunities to review and make recommendation on job descriptions prior to such job descriptions being used in the Personnel recruitment process for open positions. Prior to assigning any individual to work on the REMS Pharmacy Services on a full-time basis, Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall be given an opportunity to confirm that it is satisfied with such person’s training and qualifications.

In addition, ESSDS will ensure that its Personnel participate in any instruction and training as required by Jazz Pharmaceuticals, including training directly from Jazz Pharmaceuticals.
[***]
Specific roles are or will be described in more detail in the applicable Work Order(s). In the event that Jazz Pharmaceuticals is dissatisfied with any individual performing REMS Pharmacy Services, it may notify ESSDS of its concerns and ESSDS will take such concerns under advisement and take corrective action as appropriate.

advance of each calendar quarter. ESSDS will provide ad hoc reporting and justification to support FTE change requests.

ESSDS shall be responsible for any permitted subcontractors’ compliance with the terms hereof. Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall have no obligation to pay any subcontractors for any Services.
2.10Privacy.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including the Exhibits hereto), ESSDS shall provide information to Jazz Pharmaceuticals in a manner fully consistent with HIPAA. Accordingly, the Parties agree that ESSDS shall only provide Jazz Pharmaceuticals information that is de-identified in accordance with HIPAA’s de-identification provision, 45

Jazz Pharmaceuticals represents and warrants that it cannot and will not attempt to identify the individual who is the subject of any de- identified information.

(b)If Jazz Pharmaceuticals seeks PHI from ESSDS for Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ public health activities purposes (e.g., REMS Program administration, adverse event reporting), Jazz Pharmaceuticals represents and warrants that the disclosure of such PHI by ESSDS to Jazz
Pharmaceuticals, either directly to Jazz Pharmaceuticals or to Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ data collection agent, satisfies the conditions of 45 C.F.R. § 164.512(b) in that: (i) if Jazz Pharmaceuticals uses a third party to collect Data for Jazz Pharmaceuticals, such third party is serving in the capacity as Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ agent for the purpose of, among other things, collecting Data on behalf of Jazz Pharmaceuticals; (ii) the Data to be collected is to be used and/or disclosed by Jazz Pharmaceuticals, or its data collection agent, solely for public health activities purposes and for no other purpose; (iii) de-identified data (as described in 45 C.F.R. § 164.514(b)) is not sufficient under the circumstances to enable Jazz Pharmaceuticals to satisfy its public health activities purposes; and (iv) the Data to be collected includes the minimal amount of PHI required in order for Jazz Pharmaceuticals to conduct its public health activities purposes.

ESSDS will (a) comply with all applicable requirements of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (“DSCSA”), including the receipt of electronic and interoperable track and trace information from Jazz Pharmaceuticals, and (b) work in good faith with Jazz Pharmaceuticals as reasonably requested in connection with Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ DSCSA-related obligations and requirements.

ARTICLE IV
SUPPLY OF PRODUCT
4.1Non-PAP Orders
(a) General. Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall deliver to ESSDS at the Certified Pharmacy sufficient quantities of Product to fulfill Non-PAP orders. ESSDS maintains a reasonable quantity of components on-site or nearby to allow Product disbursements to occur in a timely and efficient manner. Product to be shipped pursuant to Non-PAP Orders shall be furnished to, and held by, ESSDS on a consignment basis at a Certified Pharmacy at all times. The consignment of Product hereunder shall at no time be construed as a loan or other debt financing or secured transaction arrangement between the Parties, and title to consigned Product shall remain with Jazz Pharmaceuticals until transferred pursuant to Section 4.1(b).
(b) Transfer of Title. Upon removal of the consigned Xyrem or Xywav by ESSDS from the product storage area to fulfill a Non-PAP Order, title to such Xyrem or Xywav shall pass to ESSDS, and ESSDS shall be deemed to have purchased from Jazz Pharmaceuticals such Xyrem or Xywav. ESSDS shall confirm all such purchases and shipments of Xyrem and Xywav in writing to Jazz Pharmaceuticals on a weekly basis via purchase order, which will document all purchases of Xyrem and Xywav by ESSDS during the previous week. If a month ends in the beginning or middle of a week, ESSDS shall send an additional purchase order to Jazz Pharmaceuticals to confirm purchases of Xyrem and Xywav made as of the last day of each month. This transfer of title process applies only to Xyrem and Xywav that has not already been purchased as part of a Buy In option, as described in Section 4.2, where title transfers upon submission of a relevant purchase order.
Upon removal of the consigned Authorized Generic Product by ESSDS from the product storage area to fulfill a Non-PAP Order, title to such Authorized Generic Product shall pass to the applicable Authorized Generic Partner, and then to ESSDS and ESSDS shall be deemed to have purchased from the applicable Authorized Generic Partner such Authorized Generic Product. ESSDS shall confirm all purchases and shipments of each Authorized Generic Product in writing to Jazz Pharmaceuticals on a weekly basis via written confirmation in a format substantially similar to Exhibit E, which will document all purchases of Authorized Generic Product by ESSDS during the previous week. For clarity, there shall be a separate written confirmation for purchases and shipments of each specific Authorized Generic Product. If a month ends in the beginning or middle of a week, ESSDS shall send an additional written confirmation to Jazz Pharmaceuticals to confirm purchases of each Authorized Generic Product made as of the last day of each month. This transfer of title process applies only to Authorized Generic Product that has not already been purchased as part of an agreement reached between an Authorized Generic Partner and ESSDS, where title transfers upon submission of a relevant purchase order.
For purposes of clarity, if ESSDS fulfills an order for one half bottle of Xyrem or Xywav, ESSDS will purchase the one-half bottle and title for the one-half bottle dispensed will transfer to ESSDS. ESSDS will return the other one-half bottle of Xyrem or Xywav to the storage area for Jazz Pharmaceuticals or Authorized Generic consigned Product, and Jazz Pharmaceuticals or Authorized Generic partner (as applicable) will continue to hold title for such product until such time as ESSDS removes such product for dispensing.
(c)Pricing of Non-PAP Orders. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6.2 of this Agreement and any FDA requirement or other Applicable Law, ESSDS shall have the sole authority to determine pricing to Patients for Xyrem and Xywav for Non-PAP Orders. Pricing to Patients for each Authorized Generic Product shall be subject to negotiation between ESSDS and each Authorized Generic Partner.
(d)Ordered Quantities. In order to ensure that ESSDS is able to properly fulfill Non-PAP orders with any Authorized Generic Product, during the term of this Agreement, Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall provide ESSDS periodic updates setting forth the number of units of Product that each Authorized Generic Partner has agreed to purchase from Jazz Pharmaceuticals for the period of time covered by the particular update (the “AG
Quantities”). In the event there are changes to the AG Quantities, Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall provide additional updates to ESSDS. ESSDS will not fulfill Non-PAP Orders with Authorized Generic Product in excess of the identified AG Quantities, except to the extent that ESSDS has received written permission from Jazz Pharmaceuticals to do so; and to avoid disruptions in Patient care, Jazz Pharmaceuticals will not unreasonably withhold consent. The process for Jazz Pharmaceuticals to provide the AG Quantities to ESSDS will be mutually agreed upon and captured in Work Instructions.
4.2Buy In. ESSDS shall be offered [***] Manufacturer’s Product [***].
4.3PAP, Bridge and Voucher Orders. Subject to available space as determined by ESSDS, Jazz Pharmaceuticals will deliver to ESSDS at the Certified Pharmacy, at Jazz Pharmaceuticals own expense, sufficient quantities of Xyrem and Xywav to fulfill PAP, Bridge and Voucher Orders. ESSDS will maintain a reasonable quantity of components on-site or nearby to allow product disbursements to occur in a timely and efficient manner.
