2. COORDINATION; SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

2.1 Relationship Managers. Each Party shall appoint a manufacturing logistics and quality assurance manager to support the Parties’ respective manufacturing activities, and to function as a liaison with the other Party’s manufacturing logistics and quality assurance manager on matters relating to the manufacture and supply of the Product pursuant to this Agreement.

2.2 Joint Manufacturing Committee.

(a) The Parties shall establish a joint manufacturing committee (“JMC”) to oversee the supply of Product to Licensee in accordance with this Agreement. The JMC shall consist of three (3) representatives designated by each Party. One (1) representative from each Party shall alternate in acting as the chairperson of the JMC for one Calendar Year term, with Acorda’s representative chairing the JMC for the first Calendar Year. The chairperson shall not have any greater authority than any other representative on the JMC. As soon as practicable following the Effective Date (but in no event more than thirty (30) days following the Effective Date), each Party shall designate its initial representatives on the JMC. Each Party shall be free to change its representatives on notice to the other or to send a substitute representative to any JMC meeting; provided, however, that each Party shall ensure that at all times during the existence of the JMC, its representatives on such committee are appropriate in terms of seniority and expertise with respect to the manufacturing of pharmaceutical products and have the authority to bind such Party with respect to matters within the purview of the JMC. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the JMC shall have no authority to bind the Parties hereunder and the JMC shall report to the JSC, subject to Section 2.4 of this Agreement.

(b) The JMC shall be responsible for (i) managing the supply chain for Product in the Territory; (ii) monitoring logistical strategies, capacity planning and inventory levels for the Product for Commercialization in the Field in the Territory; and (iii) providing a forum for the Parties to discuss any material quality-related issues concerning the Product.

(c) The appointment of members of the JMC is a right of each Party and not an obligation and shall not be a “deliverable” as referenced in any existing authoritative accounting literature. Each Party shall be free to determine not to appoint members to the JMC. If a Party does not appoint members of the JMC, it shall not be a breach of this Agreement, nor shall any consideration be required to be returned, and unless and until such persons are appointed, all decisions and obligations within the purview of the committee shall henceforth be handled directly between the Parties; provided, that in the event of any disputes between the Parties, the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 2.4(a) shall continue to apply (substituting in such provision references to “the Parties” instead of “the JMC”).

2.3 Meetings. The JMC shall hold at least one (1) meeting per Calendar Quarter at such times during such Calendar Quarter as the chairperson elects to do so. Meetings of the JMC shall be effective only if at least one (1) representative of each Party is present or participating. The JMC may meet either (a) in person at either Party’s facilities or at such locations as the Parties may otherwise agree or (b) by audio or video teleconference; provided, that no less than one (1) meeting of the JMC during each Calendar Year shall be conducted in person. Other representatives of each Party involved with the Product may attend meetings as non-voting participants, subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in this Agreement. Additional meetings of the JMC may also be held with the consent of each Party, or as required under this Agreement, and neither Party shall unreasonably withhold its consent to hold such additional meetings. Each Party shall be responsible for all of its own expenses incurred in connection with participating in the JMC meetings.

2.4 Decision Making; Authority.

(a) Approval by the JMC. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.4, the JMC shall approve matters before it only following a unanimous vote, with each Party having one (1) vote. If the JMC fails to reach unanimous agreement on a matter before it for decision for a period in excess of thirty (30) days, the matter shall be referred to the JSC as constituted under and in accordance with the License Agreement and any dispute that may arise from such matter shall be resolved pursuant to the terms of Section 3.5 of the License Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the License Agreement, neither any Party, the JSC nor any Expert Panel shall exercise its right to finally resolve a dispute pursuant to the License Agreement in a manner that (i) excuses such Party from any of its obligations specifically enumerated under this Agreement, (ii) negates any consent rights or other rights specifically allocated to the other Party under this Agreement, (iii) would cause Acorda to breach an Acorda Third Party Agreement (including any Acorda Supply Agreement) or to require any Third Party to take any actions not required to be performed by such Third Party under any Acorda Third Party Agreement, (iv) increases the Development Plan costs for the other Party for a given Calendar Year by more than [*****] above the then current Development Budget for the Calendar Year, or (v) would require either Party (or require Acorda to require a Third Party) to perform any act that it (or such Third Party) reasonably believes to be inconsistent with any Law or any approval, order, policy or guidelines of a Regulatory Authority; provided, that, if such decision would require Acorda, in order to comply with such decisions, to compel the Third Party counterparty to an Acorda Third Party Agreement to perform any act or to refrain from performing any act, Licensee acknowledges and agrees that

*****Omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request.

Acorda shall only be obligated to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to compel such activity or to refrain from performing such activity. The JMC shall have only the powers assigned expressly to it in this Agreement and shall not have any power to amend, modify or waive compliance with this Agreement or the Acorda Third Party Agreements.

(b) No Limitation on Remedies. Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall affect the right of a Party to exercise its rights or remedies for a breach of this Agreement by the other Party.

2.5 Third Party Manufacturers. Where this Agreement provides that Acorda shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain the consent of or response from one of its Third Party manufacturers, then, to the extent that Licensee has been allowed to interact directly with such Third party Manufacturer with respect to such matters, Licensee shall also be required to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain such result.

3. SUPPLY

3.1 Exclusive Supply. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Licensee shall exclusively purchase from Acorda all Product in order to meet Licensee’s and its Affiliates’ and Third Party Distributors’ requirements of the Product.

3.2 General Scope of Services. Acorda shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to manufacture, or arrange for a Third Party(ies) to manufacture, and supply Licensee’s requirements of Product for use in the Field in the Territory pursuant to the License Agreement in final, packaged, labeled form; provided, however, that the foregoing shall be subject to Acorda’s and its Third Party manufacturer(s)’ capacity and ability to manufacture such quantities in their current manufacturing facilities, taking into account Acorda’s and such Third Party manufacturer(s)’ responsibilities to manufacture the Product for use outside the Territory or outside the Field and to manufacture other pharmaceutical products.

3.3 Quality Agreement. Promptly after the Effective Date, the Parties shall negotiate and execute a “Quality Agreement” specifying the testing, storage, release, cGMP, regulatory and other quality assurance requirements relating to manufacture and shipment of Product by or on behalf of Acorda under this Agreement. To the extent that Acorda or an Acorda Third Party manufacturer supplying Product hereunder reasonably requests, Licensee shall also enter into a “Quality Agreement” with such Third Party manufacturer regarding supply of Product.

3.4 Third Party Manufacturers. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the provisions set forth in this Agreement are subject to the requirements and limitations of the agreements set forth in Exhibit A, including the Elan Supply Agreement (collectively, such agreements, the “Acorda Supply Agreements”). Exhibit A may be updated by Acorda from time to time after the date hereof upon Acorda providing to Licensee true and correct copies of any additional agreements to be listed on such Exhibit A; provided, however, that Acorda shall, prior to executing or otherwise agreeing to be bound by any such additional agreement, (i) supply material drafts, including the final draft, of such agreement to Licensee for its review, (ii) allow Licensee to comment on such draft within a reasonable period of time following Licensee’s

receipt; and (iii) reasonably consider, in good faith, Licensee’s comments to such draft (but Licensee shall not have the right to approve such agreement).

4. FORECASTS AND ORDERS

4.1 Forecast. Commencing [***] prior to the anticipated date of first Regulatory Approval in any Major Market Country, Licensee shall submit to Acorda on or before the first Business Day of each month a [*] rolling forecast that sets forth the total quantity of Product for supply that Licensee either has ordered, desires to order, or expects to order from Acorda within the next [***] period (the “Forecast”). In the Forecast, Licensee shall include a breakdown of the total quantity of Product forecast on a month-by-month and country-by-country basis.

(a) Firm Period and Semi-Firm Period. Once Regulatory Approval for the Product has been received in a Major Market Country or the United States, the monthly breakdown of the [***] of the Forecast shall include a firm, irrevocable order for the first [] of the Forecast (“Firm Period”), which shall be the subject of a binding Purchase Order delivered in accordance with Section 4.5. For purposes of clarity, in the event that a Forecast delivered to Acorda in accordance with the terms of this Agreement lists a total quantity of Product for supply for each of the first [] of such Forecast as zero (0), the Firm Order for such [] period shall be for a quantity of zero (0). The next [] of the Forecast period shall be a semi-firm period that is non-binding (“Semi-Firm Period”); provided, that, subject to Section 4.3(c), if Licensee requests more than a [***] increase in the ordered quantities of Product for such Semi-Firm Period, Acorda shall have the right to change the lead time for delivery of the Product if such a change is commercially reasonable given the increase in ordered Product quantity. The remainder of the Forecast is non-binding.

4.2 Long-Term Forecast. Not later than July 1st in each Calendar Year, Licensee shall provide Acorda a [] forecast of its estimated requirements of the Product, broken down on an annual basis. For the avoidance of doubt, except with respect to any Firm Period included in such [] forecast and subject to Section 4.3(c), any long-term forecast provided by Licensee under this Section 4.2 shall be non-binding.

4.3 Amending Forecasts. Any portion of the Forecast that is not a Firm Period is to be considered an estimated forecast to be used for planning purposes, and shall not be construed as a firm commitment by Licensee to Acorda; rather, it can be increased or reduced by Licensee from time to time; provided, however, that (a) Licensee may not decrease the quantities specified in any Forecast with respect to any Firm Period; (b) if Licensee increases the quantities specified in any Forecast with respect to any Firm Period, Acorda shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts (having regard to its and its Third Party manufacturers’ manufacturing capacity and ability), but shall not be obligated, to supply such additional Product; and (c) Licensee may not increase or decrease by more than [*****] in the aggregate the amount of Product required in a Calendar Quarter compared to the previous Calendar Quarter, except for Launch Stocks or unless otherwise agreed by Acorda.

4.4 Launch Stocks. At least [*****] prior to an anticipated Regulatory Approval in a Major Market Country, the Parties shall discuss and agree upon the manufacture and purchase of

*****Omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request.

specific quantities of Launch Stocks for launch of the Product in the applicable Major Market Country. Launch Stocks shall be ordered not later than [*****] from receipt by Licensee of an approval letter from a Regulatory Authority in respect of an NDA in a Major Market Country.

4.5 Purchase Orders.

(a) General. Licensee shall accompany its monthly update of the Forecast with a Purchase Order for each Firm Period for which Product has not been previously ordered or for which additional Product is required; provided, that in the event the Forecast contains a binding forecast for Launch Stocks pursuant to Section 4.4, the Purchase Order shall also contain an order for the Launch Stocks. Each Purchase Order shall specify the Product ordered, the quantity of Product ordered and the time, manner and address of delivery, all of which shall be subject to this Article 4 and Section 6.1. In order for the Product to be properly labeled and packaged, each such Purchase Order shall specify the countries in which the Product from such order shall be marketed or sold, the quantity of Product from such Purchase Order destined for each such country and the quantity of Product for promotional and sample use. Each Purchase Order shall also specify the requested date of delivery and the delivery destination.

(b) Terms. Purchase Orders issued by Licensee or its Affiliates shall be effective solely with respect to specifying the quantity, requested delivery date (subject to the terms of this Agreement) and means of shipment of the Product being ordered. All other terms and conditions printed or included on such Purchase Orders shall be of no effect or force.

(c) Rejection of Purchase Orders. Within [*****] of receipt, Acorda shall have the right to reject any Purchase Order issued by Licensee that Acorda reasonably believes to be materially inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. Subject to Acorda’s obligation set forth in Section 4.3 to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to address fluctuations in Licensee’s Product demand, if Acorda reasonably believes that a Purchase Order is materially inconsistent with the forecasted quantities of the Firm Period and/or the Launch Stocks, it shall have the right to reject such Purchase Order; provided, that Acorda shall reject no Purchase Order solely on the basis of quantity so long as the quantity specified in such Purchase Order is within the amount required to be ordered hereunder.

4.6 Fulfillment of Purchase Orders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Acorda shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to produce and supply to Licensee its requirements of the Product as set forth in and in response to Purchase Orders, within [] of the Purchase Order (or such later delivery date as set forth in the Purchase Order), or [] for Launch Stocks or samples (or such later delivery date as set forth in the Purchase Order and subject to any required extension due to the lead times of specific components of samples). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acorda shall have no obligation to supply Product, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Parties:

(a) for any Firm Period, in excess of Licensee’s Forecast for such Firm Period (but Acorda will nevertheless use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to fulfill Licensee’s requirements in excess of such amounts, having regard to its and its Third Party manufacturers’ manufacturing capacity and ability);

*****Omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request.

(b) for less than a minimum order of [*****], or such other minimum amount as may be required by Acorda’s Third Party manufacturers.

(c) in partial Batches;

(d) where Product is supplied by Elan and where [*****] of the Manufacturing Cost (as defined in the Elan Supply Agreement) would exceed the Transfer Price; provided, that in such case, Acorda shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to supply Product using a Second Source (as defined in the Elan Supply Agreement); or

(e) pursuant to a Purchase Order which does not conform in all material respects to the terms of this Agreement; provided, that, if Acorda does supply Product pursuant to such a Purchase Order in its absolute discretion, that fulfillment shall not affect Acorda’s right to refuse to fulfill any subsequent Purchase Order which does not comply in all material respects with this Agreement.

4.7 Supply Uncertainty. Acorda shall, within [***] after receipt of Licensee’ Forecast, notify Licensee if it becomes aware or believes that, based on the Forecasts submitted by Licensee, any shortage of supply of Product to Licensee will occur (such shortage, a “Supply Shortage”). The Parties, through the JMC, shall discuss the reasons for the anticipated Supply Shortage. Unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Parties, in the event Acorda has a Supply Shortage, available Product supply shall be allocated between the Parties on a pro-rata basis, each Party to receive a percentage of Product supply equal to the percentage of dosage units of Product purchased by such Party and its Affiliates during the previous [*] period as compared to the aggregate dosage units of Product purchased by both Parties and their respective Affiliates during such period; provided, that, in the event the Supply Shortage occurs within the first Firm Period or the [***] period following the first Firm Period, available Product supply shall be allocated between the Parties on a pro-rata basis based on the good faith forecasts submitted by each Party for such time period. Nothing in this Section 4.7 shall limit, modify or replace Licensee’s remedies under this Agreement in the event of a Supply Shortage.

4.8 Safety Stock. Licensee shall: (a) prior to the Regulatory Approval of Product in the Field in any country in the Territory and until [***] after such Regulatory Approval, maintain, at its own risk and expense, Launch Stock of [] supply of Product, measured, as of any date, based on Licensee’s Forecast; and (b) beginning [] after Regulatory Approval of Product in the Field in any country in the Territory has been obtained, maintain, at its own risk and expense, safety stock of [*] supply of Product, measured, as of any date, by the Purchase Orders delivered to Acorda by Licensee during the immediately preceding [***].

5. PRODUCTION

5.1 Specifications.

(a) The Specifications for the bulk Licensed Product may, subject to the Acorda Supply Agreements and Section 6.3 of the Elan License Agreement, be amended by the JMC or as otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties.

*****Omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request.

(b) Licensee shall propose the necessary Specifications for packaging and labeling of the Product for each country in the Territory. Acorda, in consultation with its Third Party manufacturers, shall review and approve all such Specifications for packaging and labeling, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, that, (i) such Specifications shall require Elan’s approval, which Acorda shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain, and (ii) Acorda shall not be required to approve any Specifications if (A) such approval would be a violation under any Acorda Third Party Agreements or (B) Acorda reasonably believes that such Specifications would adversely affect the Commercialization or the specifications of the Licensed Product in the Acorda Territory. Licensee shall bear [*****] costs and expenses to obtain approval of any Regulatory Authority in the Territory with respect to such packaging and labeling.

5.2 Changes to the Specifications, Processing or the Facility.

(a) Changes. Acorda or its Third Party manufacturers may make such changes to the Specifications, Processing or the Facility as are required pursuant to applicable Law or to comply with Regulatory Approvals; provided, that Acorda shall have promptly notified Licensee upon Acorda becoming aware of such required change, and provided, further, that Licensee shall have the reasonable opportunity to dispute the necessity of such change prior to such change’s adoption by Acorda or its Third Party manufacturers.

(i) Changes Specific to Product in Territory. Subject to Section 5.2(a), to the extent that changes to the Specifications, Processing and/or Facility are required pursuant to Law or Regulatory Approvals applicable solely to the Product in the Territory, costs incurred for such changes with respect to the Product in the Territory shall be paid [*****] by Licensee.

(ii) Changes Specific to Product in Acorda’s Territory. To the extent that changes to the Specifications, Processing and/or Facility are required pursuant to Law or Regulatory Approvals applicable solely to the Product in the Acorda Territory, costs incurred for such changes with respect to the Product in the Acorda Territory shall be paid [*****] by Acorda; and, for clarity, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Acorda from making any such changes.

country, the notified Party shall promptly notify the other Party of such change in Laws or Regulatory Approvals and, if such change will affect the Product in the Territory, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a written agreement regarding the extent and timing of such change.

(c) Changes Requested by Licensee. Notwithstanding Section 5.1(a), if Licensee, on behalf of itself or any of its Affiliates, requests any change to Specifications which is not required by a change in Laws or Regulatory Approvals in any such country, Acorda may, in its discretion, consider such request. Acorda shall consider such request in accordance with the License Agreement as a proposed amendment to the Development Plan or as a Development Collaboration Proposal. All costs with respect thereto shall be borne as “Development Costs” in accordance with the License Agreement. Licensee shall reasonably cooperate with Acorda and its Third Party manufacturers in obtaining any approvals necessary for such requested changes.

(d) Changes to the Process or Facility. Licensee acknowledges that Elan has the right to change the Process or Facility pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Elan Supply Agreement.

5.3 Quality Assurance.

(a) Acorda shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain from its Third Party manufacturer(s) supplying Product for Licensee representations and warranties for the benefit of Licensee that, as of the date of physical transfer of each order of Product to Licensee, such Product (i) was manufactured in accordance with cGMP and all applicable Laws in all material respects; (ii) conforms in all material respects to the applicable Specifications; and (iii) does not contain any material that would cause the Product to be adulterated or misbranded under applicable Law.

(b) Documentation. Acorda or its Third Party manufacturer shall deliver with each shipment of Product (i) a Certificate of Analysis for the Product and (ii) the batch records for such Product (clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence, collectively, the “Documentation”).

(c) Non-Conforming Product. Subject to Elan’s rights under Clause 6 of the Elan Supply Agreement and the rights of the Second Source (as defined in the Elan Supply Agreement) under any Acorda Supply Agreement, including the mechanisms and time frames for the resolution of any disputes:

(i) Within (A) [***] after delivery of an order of Product to Licensee or (B) [*] of Licensee’s discovery of an issue with Product following Licensee’s acceptance of Product which issue cannot be ascertained by reviewing the Documentation or the exercise of reasonable diligence (including the performance of the routine testing protocol to be agreed in the Quality Agreement) by Licensee upon receipt of such Product (such issue, a “Latent Defect”), Licensee shall notify Acorda in writing if such Product does not comply with the Specifications at the time of delivery to Licensee and shall provide Acorda with reasonable details of the alleged non-conformance and supporting evidence and upon Acorda’s request permit Acorda to re-test the Product. Licensee shall only make such claims in good faith. If Licensee does not make a claim within such [***] period, Licensee shall be deemed to have accepted the Product.

*****Omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request.

(ii) If Acorda does not agree with the substantiating evidence provided by Licensee, Acorda shall provide Licensee with a written notice of such disagreement within twenty-five (25) days of receipt of Licensee’s notice of non-conformance, responding to Licensee’s claim. The Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to resolve such disagreement within ten (10) days of Licensee’s receipt of notice from Acorda of such disagreement. In the event of an unresolved dispute as to (A) conformity of the Product with Specifications; or (B) whether defects in the Product are attributable to the negligent acts or omissions of Acorda or its Third Party manufacturers of Product, the Parties shall, within thirty (30) days after expiration of such ten (10) day period, appoint a mutually acceptable independent laboratory to undertake the relevant testing and its findings shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. All costs relating to this process shall be borne solely by the Party whose testing was in error.

(iii) If the Parties agree or the independent laboratory’s analysis confirms that Licensee’s complaint was valid, Acorda shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to supply to Licensee, as promptly as reasonably practicable, the remaining quantity of the Product conforming to the relevant Specifications. If Licensee has already paid for the conforming quantity of Product Acorda initially failed to supply, then such additional or replacement quantity shall be provided by Acorda at no additional cost to Licensee; otherwise, Acorda shall invoice Licensee for such conforming Product in accordance with Section 6.2.

(iv) Any nonconforming Product shall either be destroyed by Licensee or returned to Acorda for destruction by Acorda, according to Acorda’s instructions. In the event that the nonconformity was solely due to a fault of Licensee, then Licensee shall bear all costs of such destruction or return and Licensee shall not be entitled to any credit as to the non-conforming Product; in the event that the nonconformity was solely due to a fault of Acorda, then Acorda shall bear all costs of such destruction or return; and otherwise, the Parties shall equally share such costs.

(v) The Product shelf-life shall be as set forth in the Technical Agreement (as defined in the Elan Supply Agreement).

(d) THE PROVISIONS HEREIN SHALL BE ACORDA’S EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY AND LICENSEE’S SOLE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ACORDA’S FAILURE TO SUPPLY THE ORDERED QUANTITIES OF PRODUCT CONFORMING TO THE SPECIFICATIONS AND THE WARRANTIES HEREUNDER.

5.4 Preservation of Samples. Licensee shall retain and store preservation samples from each lot number of Product received by Licensee hereunder for a period of no less than [*****] after the expiration date of the Product, in accordance with Law.

6. DELIVERY AND PAYMENT

6.1 Delivery. The delivery dates for Product shall be as mutually agreed upon by the Parties; provided, however, that any delivery date for any order of Product will be determined based on the manufacturing runs of Product scheduled by Acorda and its Third Party manufacturer(s) and any delay in delivery as a result of the scheduling of such manufacturing

*****Omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request.

runs shall not be a breach of this Agreement by Acorda. Acorda shall deliver Product ordered in the relevant Purchase Order, according to Incoterms 2000 EXW (“ex-works”) the Facility or a distribution warehouse designated by Acorda, in Acorda’s sole discretion. Title to the delivered quantity of Product shall pass to Licensee or its designee upon such delivery.

6.2 Price and Reimbursements. The price for Product shall be the Transfer Price. Upon shipment of the Product, Acorda shall issue an invoice for such shipment. Such invoice shall list separately those expenses subject to reimbursement by Licensee under this Agreement.

6.3 Elan Compensating Payment and Acorda Costs.

(a) Licensee shall pay Acorda the percentage of the Elan Compensating Payment that is equal to the percentage of Product supplied to Licensee that was manufactured by the Second Source (as defined in the Elan Supply Agreement). If such Elan Compensating Payment is payable by Licensee, the calculation of such amount shall be included on an invoice from Acorda for such payment.

(b) All costs and expenses, including internal costs, incurred by Acorda or its Affiliates in connection with the supply of Product to Licensee, its Affiliates and Third Party Distributors hereunder shall be reimbursed by Licensee.

(c) For the sake of clarity, Licensee shall pay to Acorda, if applicable, any remaining amount which is payable to Elan pursuant to Section 9.3.3 of the Elan Supply Agreement, reflecting the difference between the amount due pursuant to the actual NSP (as defined in the Elan License Agreement) and the initial portion of the Transfer Price invoiced upon supply of the Licensed Product (based on the then-applicable Notional NSP, as defined in the Elan License Agreement). Licensee shall pay Acorda such amount within thirty (30) days after the end of the relevant Calendar Quarter, or, if earlier, at least five (5) Business Days before such time as such payment is owed to Elan. To the extent that such difference is negative, reflecting an initial overpayment by Licensee, Acorda shall credit such difference against the price of Licensed Product to be supplied to Licensee to the extent of any credit provided by Elan.

6.4 Remittance of Payments. For the first two (2) years following the first commercial sale of the Product in any country, all payments from Licensee to Acorda hereunder shall be due within forty-five (45) days after Licensee’s receipt of an invoice therefor. Thereafter, payment shall be made within twenty (20) days after Licensee’s receipt of an invoice therefor. Payments made more than twenty (20) days after the due date shall bear interest per month in an amount equal to [*****] from the due date until paid in full or, if less, the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.4 to the contrary, no interest shall accrue on any payment disputed in good faith by Licensee until such payment dispute has been resolved, at which time, if Licensee is found to have erroneously withheld such payment, interest will be deemed to have accrued as of the due date. In addition, Licensee shall reimburse Acorda for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees and legal expenses, incurred in the collection of late payments

6.5 Tax Withholding. Licensee shall inform Acorda of any withholding tax obligation on payments due to Acorda under this Agreement as soon as Licensee becomes aware

*****Omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request.

of the withholding tax obligation. The Parties shall meet promptly thereafter to discuss how best to minimize the amount of such withholding tax obligation in accordance with Law, and Licensee shall take all reasonable and lawful steps to minimize the amount of any such withholding tax obligation. The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith to provide one another with such documents and certifications as are reasonably necessary to enable Licensee and Acorda to minimize and/or recover any withholding tax obligation. Upon Acorda’s request, Licensee shall provide to Acorda documentation of the payment of any withholding tax that is paid pursuant to this Section 6.5.

6.6 VAT. All prices for the Product and other amounts in this Agreement are exclusive of any applicable value added or any other sales tax, for which Licensee will be additionally liable, if payable.

7. REGULATORY

7.2 Governmental Inspection.

7.3 Right of Inspection. No more than [*****] during the Term and upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Acorda, Licensee shall have the right to inspect, during Acorda’s normal business, Acorda’s facilities (including, as permitted under any Acorda Supply Agreement, any Third Party manufacturer’s facilities) and documentation relating to Acorda’s performance hereunder; provided, that, to the extent Licensee identifies any issues during such

*****Omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request.

inspections that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Product for supply in the Territory, Licensee may, as permitted under the relevant Acorda Supply Agreement, conduct a follow-up inspection as reasonably necessary to assure quality of the Product and to conduct quality compliance audits (and enable any relevant Regulatory Authorities to do so, if necessary). Acorda agrees to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to correct, and cause to be corrected, all material deficiencies identified by Licensee.

7.4 Records.

(a) Financial Records. Acorda shall maintain records with respect to its costs under this Agreement.

The results of such audit shall be made available to Acorda and shall be considered Acorda’s Confidential Information. Licensee shall bear the costs of such audit, except as provided below. If an audit under this Section 7.4(a) shows any overpayment by Licensee, Acorda shall remit to Licensee within thirty (30) days after the results of the audit are delivered, the amount of such overpayment and, if such overpayment exceeds five percent (5%) of the total amount owed for the period then being audited, the fees and expenses of Licensee’s auditors for such audit. All such records shall be maintained for at least [] after the end of the Calendar Year to which such records relate, or such longer period as may be required by applicable Law.

(b) Product Records. Acorda shall maintain all records necessary for it to comply with applicable Law with respect to its obligations under this Agreement.
