estimated requirements of Drug Product, itemized for use as commercial product or Regulatory
Samples (as defined below), for the term of this Agreement. The Forecast shall be reviewed and
updated by CUMBERLAND on a monthly basis, with copies delivered to BIONICHE. BIONICHE shall have an
opportunity to confirm its ability to deliver the quantities set out in the Forecast and each
update thereto, or to request amendments thereto to ensure its ability to supply. Once accepted by

delivered to BIONICHE, and shall be firm and binding on the parties (the “Delivery Date”). Each
such Purchase Order shall become firm and binding on the parties and, except as specifically
provided for herein, may not be increased or decreased by more than [***] from the quantities shown
in the Forecast accepted by BIONICHE pursuant to Section 2.6 without the prior written approval of
the parties. If CUMBERLAND requires quantities of Drug Product exceeding those mentioned in the
Forecast, as updated, BIONICHE shall deliver the amount indicated in the Forecast on the scheduled
Delivery Date and shall use reasonable efforts to supply the additional amount exceeding such
Forecast on the scheduled Delivery Date, but shall have no liability for failure to deliver the
additional amount. Each Purchase Order shall constitute a separate agreement to purchase Drug
Product but where in conflict with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, this Agreement, and
not the standard terms and conditions set forth in the purchase orders, shall govern the

2.8 Failure to Supply: Subject to the provisions of Article 7, BIONICHE shall supply all of
the Drug Product ordered by CUMBERLAND within [***] of receipt of a written order from CUMBERLAND.
If BIONICHE is unable to meet its supply obligations with respect to any Purchase Order,
CUMBERLAND shall be free to procure from third parties part or all of the quantities of the Drug
Product covered by the relevant Purchase Order. In the event that BIONICHE is unable to supply the
Drug Product to CUMBERLAND for any reason other than for Force Majeure or failure of CUMBERLAND to
fulfill its obligations hereunder, BIONICHE will reimburse CUMBERLAND for any increase in the
price of obtaining the Drug Product from an alternate supplier; provided that such replacement
Drug Product was purchased on reasonable commercial terms, and provided further that such failure
to supply was in respect of Drug Product that was the subject of a Purchase Order provided by
CUMBERLAND and accepted by BIONICHE under Paragraph 2.7. Should BIONICHE reimburse CUMBERLAND as
set out in this paragraph, BIONICHE shall have no further liability to CUMBERLAND for said failure
to supply.
2.9 Payment for the Drug Product: At the time of each shipment, BIONICHE shall invoice
CUMBERLAND for BIONICHE’s manufacturing services at the prices set forth in Schedule I. Payment

2.10(b).
(b) Subject to Subparagraph 2.10(c), prices are subject to annual adjustment beginning two
(2) years after the date hereof. Price increases or decreases will be commensurate with documented
Manufacturing cost increases or decreases since the date that the then-current prices became
effective. For purposes hereof, “Manufacturing cost” shall mean, with respect to the Drug Product,
BIONICHE’s actual and documented cost of raw materials, direct labor, Manufacturing, packaging,
and overhead amounts directly applicable to such Manufacturing costs (including appropriately
amortized capital equipment costs and excluding non-manufacturing overhead and allocations and
excluding costs representing Manufacturing changes for which CUMBERLAND does not provide prior
written consent pursuant to Article 8), calculated in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied (the allocation of overhead to be consistent with
BIONICHE’s allocation of overhead as of the date of this Agreement). CUMBERLAND reserves the right
to audit the records of BIONICHE in order to determine that such increases and/or decreases are
appropriate. Any increase in price shall not exceed the twelve (12) month percent increase in the
Producer Price Index as published by the U.S. government and shall be further subject to a maximum
increase of five percent (5%) per year over the life of the Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding any of the contrary herein contained, should CUMBERLAND: (i) request a
change in Specifications, or (ii) unreasonably withhold the consent requested under Paragraphs 2.3
or 2.4, which request or refusal results in an increase in Manufacturing Costs, BIONICHE shall be
entitled to pass on such costs to CUMBERLAND immediately in the form of a Drug Product price
increase.

terms unless either party notifies the other party in writing at least twelve (12) months in
advance of the expiration of the then current term that the party is terminating the Agreement.
3.2 Termination: This Agreement may be terminated at any time upon the occurrence of any of
the following events:
(a) Default: Thirty (30) days following written notice, by either party to the other party, in
the event that the other party breaches any provision of this Agreement, and such party fails to
remedy the breach prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period; provided that, in the case
of nonpayment of sums due hereunder, the remedy period shall be decreased to ten (10) days.
(b) Insolvency: Written notice by either party to the other upon insolvency or bankruptcy of
the other party, and the failure of any such insolvency or bankruptcy to be dismissed within sixty
(60) days.

unable to fully perform its obligations hereunder for a period of one hundred fifty (150)
consecutive days, the other party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon at least

thirty-day period, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if the notice had not
been given.
(d) Costs: Immediately upon written notice by BIONICHE to CUMBERLAND if the Manufacturing cost
per unit of Drug Product calculated in the manner set forth in Paragraph 2.10(a) hereof exceeds the
purchase price per unit of Drug Product set forth in Schedule I, as adjusted pursuant to Paragraphs
2.10(b) and/or (c) hereof.

not grant CUMBERLAND approval to market and sell the Drug Product on or before the second
anniversary of the date of this Agreement.
(f) By mutual agreement of the parties hereto.
Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Paragraph 3.2, termination, expiration,
cancellation or abandonment of this Agreement, through any means and for any reason, shall not
relieve the parties of any obligation accruing prior thereto and shall be without prejudice to the
rights and remedies of either party with respect to any antecedent breach of any of the provisions

amount of each format of Drug Product actually ordered from the amount calculated by multiplying
the minimum quantity of such format under Schedule V by the purchase price thereof. It is
understood and agreed between the parties that BIONICHE shall not be required to supply Drug
Product for such payment. Should BIONICHE exercise its right to terminate under this Paragraph 3.3,
CUMBERLAND shall have no liability to BIONICHE for failing to purchase any minimum quantity of Drug

(b) If, during the term hereof, BIONICHE wishes to market or distribute Excluded Products in
the Territory in association with any third Person, BIONICHE shall give CUMBERLAND written notice
thereof, and CUMBERLAND shall have thirty (30) days to notify BIONICHE of its interest in entering
into an arrangement with BIONICHE, on terms to be negotiated by the parties in good faith during
the period of one hundred twenty (120) days immediately following the receipt by CUMBERLAND of

agreement within the Option Period, BIONICHE agrees not to enter into an agreement covering the
Excluded Products in the Territory with any third Person on terms that are more favorable than the
terms previously offered to CUMBERLAND without first offering to enter into an agreement with
CUMBERLAND, to be negotiated during an additional thirty day period, such offer to be made on
terms no less favorable than the terms being offered to the third Person. If CUMBERLAND does not
enter into negotiations with BIONICHE within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice,
then BIONICHE shall be free to negotiate with third Persons with no further obligation to
CUMBERLAND.

for indications other than Excluded Products that BIONICHE may seek to develop (“Other Products”),
BIONICHE shall provide notice to CUMBERLAND as set out in Subparagraph 5.6 (b) above, and the same
procedures shall apply. Likewise, with respect to any indications other than currently-approved
indications for the Drug Product that CUMBERLAND seeks to develop, CUMBERLAND shall provide notice
to BIONICHE regarding the possibility of supply of said Drug Product to CUMBERLAND and the
procedures described in Subparagraph 5.6 (b) above shall apply.
(e) If CUMBERLAND does not acquire rights to Excluded Products or to Other Products as
described in Subparagraphs 5.6 (c) and (d) above, and CUMBERLAND establishes, through the dispute
resolution process set forth in Paragraph 11.7, that sales by BIONICHE of said products have
detrimentally impacted sales of the Drug Product then BIONICHE shall pay CUMBERLAND an amount
equal to the lost profits so established by CUMBERLAND. CUMBERLAND shall bear the burden of
establishing lost sales.
(f) Except in the event that BIONICHE fails to supply all Drug Product ordered within ninety
(90) days of receipt of a Purchase Order in accordance with Paragraph 2.7, or in the event of
Force Majeure, CUMBERLAND will order its entire requirement of the Drug Product for the Territory
from BIONICHE, If CUMBERLAND notifies BIONICHE that it intends. to distribute the Drug Product in
countries other than the United States and its territories, then the parties shall negotiate in
good faith, for a period not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days after CUMBERLAND provides
such notice, to amend this agreement to expand the Territory hereunder; provided that if the
parties fail to agree upon the terms of supply for an expanded Territory within such 120-day
period, CUMBERLAND shall have no obligation to purchase requirements of Drug Products for such
other countries from BIONICHE, but its obligations hereunder with respect to the United States and
its territories shall remain in full force and effect.
(g) In the event of breach of this Paragraph 5.6, the parties shall have the right, in
addition to other rights hereunder, to seek injunctive relief, notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement.
5.7 Minimum Purchase Quantities: CUMBERLAND shall have no minimum purchase requirements for
the first year following FDA approval of the Drug Product. The parties shall, no later than three
(3) months before the end of the first year following FDA approval, negotiate in good faith to set
on the minimum quantities applicable to the second to fifth years of commercial sale, which shall
be incorporated into Schedule V and shall form part of this Agreement. The parties shall negotiate
in good faith to set additional minimum purchase requirements for any extension of the Term of
this Agreement under Paragraph 3.1. CUMBERLAND shall use its best efforts to achieve the minimum
purchase requirements set forth in Schedule V of this Agreement for each format of Drug Product
being sold in the Territory by CUMBERLAND. In the event CUMBERLAND is required to procure Drug
Product from other sources in accordance with Paragraph 2.7, the minimum annual purchase
obligation set out in Schedule V shall be decreased by the quantity BIONICHE failed to deliver
hereunder.
6. DRUG PRODUCT RECALLS
