(e) If, in Allos’ sole discretion, at the time of placing a Purchase Order, Allos pays to Hovione a non-refundable pre-payment equal to [ * ] of the value of such Purchase Order, then Hovione will be deemed to have expressly waived the Commercial Phase minimum campaign size requirement set forth in Attachment B under “3. Minimum API Lot Sizes for Pricing,” in connection with such Purchase Order and Allos shall have the right to cancel all or part of such Purchase Order; provided, however, that in no event shall Hovione be required to produce any campaign smaller than the minimum Launch Phase campaign size requirement set forth in Attachment B under “3. Minimum API Lot Sizes for Pricing,” in connection with any other Purchase Order. If Allos cancels the quantities of API ordered in a Purchase Order, Hovione will retain the pre-payment amount and the payment obligations contained under Section 4.3(d) above will not apply.

The costs and fees provided in this Agreement are based on current experience and do not take into account items that are unforeseeable (such as unexpected issues in the API development, materials changes in the regulations, FDA’s views, toxicity of the API or the process, or legislation (e.g., health, safety or environment). The Parties shall negotiate in good faith any changes to the pricing set out in Attachment B should unforeseen dramatic changes occur that cause a substantial hardship to either Party.
5.7 Currency & Taxes. All shipments of API shall be invoiced in United States dollars and all payments therefore shall be made in United States dollars. Hovione shall be responsible for all Portuguese and Macau taxes (including, but not limited to, VAT, sales, income, export duties, income, social security and withholding taxes) and workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance with respect to the Manufacturing of API and performance of Services in Portugal or in Macau under this Agreement. Allos shall be responsible for all taxes applicable in the USA and in the other markets where the API is exported to (including, but not limited to, VAT, sales, income, import duties, income, social security and withholding taxes) with respect to this Agreement.
5.8 Exchange Rate Risk. To share the exchange rate risk, Allos and Hovione agree that the API prices set forth in Attachment B under “2. API Pricing” shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) If the Exchange Rate determined at the end of any calendar quarter and the Benchmark Rate differ by more than [ * ], the API prices set forth in Attachment B under “2. API Pricing” shall be increased or decreased, as appropriate, by an amount equal to [ * ] of the percentage increase or decrease, as appropriate, in the Exchange Rate relative to the Benchmark Rate, and such API prices, as adjusted, shall apply to all invoices issued by Hovione pursuant to Section 5.3 during the immediately succeeding calendar quarter.
(b) If the Exchange Rate determined at the end of any calendar and the Benchmark Rate differ by [ * ] or less, then no adjustment will be made to the API prices set forth in Attachment B under “2. API Pricing”, and such API prices, as set forth in Attachment B

6. DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE
6.1 Delivery Instructions.
(a) Release Confirmation Testing. Hovione shall be responsible for conducting all testing required as set forth in the Quality Agreement prior to the release of any API for shipment as provided in this Section 6.1. Allos has the right to review all release testing data as provided in the Quality Agreement and to approve the release of any API for shipment.
(b) Shipment. Each API Lot shall be shipped by Hovione CIF to Allos’s designated Product manufacturer; provided, however, that (i) API Lots shall be shipped in the mode of transport provided in the delivery instructions included in each Purchase Order, which will be air for international and truck for inland shipment, and (ii) Hovione shall be responsible for all risks and additional normal transport costs that occur prior to arrival of any shipment at Allos’s designated Product manufacturer. API shall be shipped in accordance with the shipping conditions and procedures established under the Quality Agreement. Each API Lot shall be accompanied by certificates of analysis in a form specified in the Quality Agreement.
CONFIDENTIAL
[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.
13
(c) Acceptance. Allos, or its Product manufacturer, shall promptly initiate acceptance testing of API Lots upon physical receipt of API Lots. An API Lot shall be deemed accepted upon successful completion of acceptance testing, subject to revocation upon subsequent determination of any latent defects (e.g., subsequent testing, inspections or audits, stability data, or failure investigations). However, if the defect would have been detected by reasonable physical inspection and acceptance testing, and notice of the defect is not received within ninety (90) days of physical receipt (as indicated by the airway xxxx), Hovione will be under no obligation to replace the Lot. Allos (and the Product manufacturer) shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy and validity of Hovione certificates of analysis and compliance provided with each delivered API Lot. Allos shall notify Hovione in writing of any deficiencies of a received API Lot within five (5) business days of Allos’s receipt of final test reports for all testing performed on such Lot by either Allos or its Product manufacturer.
(d) Dispute. At the request of either Party, unresolved disputes regarding the conformance of an API Lot with its applicable Specifications will be referred to a mutually acceptable third party referee laboratory. The referee laboratory will conduct testing in accordance with the methods established for testing as set forth in the agreed Master Batch Record for the API as reflected in the applicable NDA, CMC or Drug Master File filing, if any. The costs of the referee testing will be charged to the Party in error. Hovione, if at fault, shall be solely responsible for the prompt replacement of each non-conforming API Lot, provided that a replacement lot which meets Allos specification requirements is available for prompt shipment. In the event conforming API is not then available, Allos may, at it election, require Hovione to refund the amounts paid or incurred by Allos on account of such rejected API Lot(s).
(e) Delivery Failure. Following a failure by Hovione to deliver the amounts of API specified in a Purchase Order, where such failure results in Allos incurring additional costs to obtain the undelivered amounts of API from an Equivalent Third Party to cover Allos’ requirements (“Delivery Failure”), then, in addition to any of Allos’s other rights and remedies, Hovione shall reimburse Allos in an amount equal to the increased cost incurred by Allos in purchasing such non-delivered API from other vendors. The quantity not delivered, and the amount that Allos would have paid Hovione if it had been delivered shall be included in determining the annual quantity of API purchased by Allos for purposes of pricing, requirements purchasing and other matters set forth in Attachment B.
6.2 Title to In-Process and Finished API. Title to all In-Process API shall at all times remain in Hovione, and title to all finished API shall remain in Hovione until its delivery to Allos’s designated Product manufacturer pursuant to Section 6.1(b), subject to Section 7.3. Hovione shall keep all In-Process API and finished API stored in accordance with the applicable Specifications, the Quality Agreement and Applicable Laws and Regulations. Hovione shall bear the risk of loss, contamination or damage to the API until it is delivered to Allos pursuant to Section 6.1(b).
7. SUPPLY ASSURANCE
7.1 Production Site & Commercial Capacity Assurance. All Manufacturing of API (including all testing, filing and packaging activities) shall occur at the Facility, except as

14
approved by the Parties in writing. No work shall be subcontracted except with Allos’s written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that in the event Allos approves of any subcontracted Services, Hovione shall be responsible for the work of the subcontractor as if it was performed by Hovione directly. Hovione shall maintain the ability to deliver at least thirty thousand kilograms (30,000 kg) per year during the Commercial Supply Phase, and shall provide assurances of secure primary and contingent supplies of Raw Materials.
7.2 Change Control. Without Allos’s prior written consent, Hovione shall make no change to: (a) the Specifications of the API (as the Specifications are defined in the applicable Regulatory Submission made by Allos for the Product); (b) any validated analytical methods used to test critical Raw Materials, In-Process API, and the API; (c) the Manufacturing of the API; (d) any Regulatory Submission made by Hovione for the API; or (e) Master Batch Record(s). In the event a change is requested and approved by Allos, Hovione will continue to Manufacture the Product in accordance to Allos’s original Regulatory Submission pending the completion of re-validation and receipt of approval from the FDA and other Regulatory Authorities. The implementation of changes shall be subject to Allos authorization in light of potential regulatory implications; however, Allos (and Allos licensees or other users of the API) recognize that change may be necessary to enable Hovione to remain efficient and cost-effective and thus shall be fully supportive of the implementation of such changes where justified. The procedures for revising Specifications are set forth below.
(a) Notice. A Party proposing a change to the Specifications shall provide written notice to the other Party. If the proposed change is required by a Regulatory Authority, then such notice shall include complete and full disclosure of the Regulatory Authority request and relevant correspondence, if any, and the other Party shall have the opportunity to participate in the dialogue with the Regulatory Authority regarding the proposed change. If the change is proposed by Allos or is required by a Regulatory Authority, then within thirty (30) days of such notice, Hovione shall notify Allos in writing whether and the extent to which Hovione’s Production Fees will increase or decrease if the proposed revision is implemented. Any proposed increase or decrease in Hovione’s Production Fees shall be supported by documentation, in a form and content satisfactory to, and subject to verification by, Allos. If Allos rejects the proposed price increase, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith a mutually acceptable increase or decrease to such Production Fees. If Allos adopts the proposed Specifications revision, the Production Fees for API will be adjusted upon its implementation or as otherwise agreed.
(b) Feasibility Determination. If Allos, in consultation with Hovione, determines that Hovione cannot implement the revision in a cost-effective manner, it may withdraw the proposed Specification revision. If the revision is required by a Regulatory Authority, however, then upon reasonable written notice to Hovione, Allos may terminate this Agreement in whole or in part or may treat the circumstance as an “inadequate supply” event and take other actions as provided in Section 7.5.
(c) Implementation Plan. Before implementing the change, the Project Managers shall develop and agree on a written implementation plan, which includes the specific procedures to be used in preparing for and implementing such change to the Specifications.

15
These shall include, but are not limited to the following: (i) required methods or process development and validation, including stability testing requirements and validation pass/fail criteria; (ii) Regulatory Submissions; (iii) Lots, Purchase Orders, or dates for change implementation; (iv) further change approval steps; and (v) technology transfer, if any.
(d) Regulatory Submissions. Allos will be responsible for any Regulatory Submission pertaining to the changes to the Specifications with the FDA and other Regulatory Authorities, except that Hovione will be responsible for updating its Drug Master Files, if any; provided that Hovione shall only make such amendment in consultation with Allos. The Parties shall advise each other of the FDA’s, or other Regulatory Authorities’, approval and the effective date of any such changes to such Specifications. Hovione’s responsibility shall be limited to the documents it prepares in connection with Regulatory Submissions.
7.3 Safety Stock. During the Commercial Supply Phase, Hovione shall, upon Allos’s request, maintain a [ * ] safety stock inventory of all critical Raw Materials or, if requested by Allos through the issue of Purchase Orders, finished API based upon the rolling Forecasts (in both cases the safety stock shall be turned over as new Raw Materials are received or new API Lots are released to as to maximize the shelf life of the safety stock). Hovione may invoice Allos for unshipped, released and approved API Lots that Hovione is required to maintain in its inventory for more than [ * ] beyond the date Hovione’s Quality Assurance group gives its written approval for the release of the applicable API Lot (the “Quality Control Release Date”). Allos shall assume title and risk of loss relating to all API inventoried as set forth in this Section 7.3 upon its release by Hovione into inventory. Hovione shall keep all API safety stock stored in accordance with the applicable Specifications, the Quality Agreement and Applicable Laws and Regulations. Hovione shall provide storage for quantities of critical Raw Materials and finished API that is designated as safety stock at no cost to Allos for as long as Hovione has warehousing storage space available for such purpose. If at any time during the Term, Hovione no longer has warehouse storage space available to store critical Raw Materials or API safety stock, Hovione shall so notify Allos, the Parties shall discuss reasonable alternatives.
7.4 Assured Supply. During the Term, Hovione shall assure that Allos has an uninterrupted API supply. In consideration of this obligation, Allos grants Hovione a “right of first supply” to supply up to [ * ] of Allos’s requirements in excess of [ * ]. Hovione may exercise this right in its entirety or in part, but must do so at a competitive price that is within [ * ] of the written bids obtained by Allos from Equivalent Third Parties. In the event that Hovione does not exercise its right of first supply option, Hovione is obligated to find an alternative source of API, subject to the written approval of Allos. Hovione must also ensure that up-to-date technology is transferred to such approved alternative supplier(s) as efficiently as possible, and in accordance with a mutually acceptable technology transfer procedure, and in compliance with any necessary regulatory requirements. In the event that Hovione cannot find an alternative API supplier that is acceptable to Allos, Hovione, at its expense, shall invest in additional capacity to meet all Allos requirements and shall remain the primary supplier of [ * ] of Allos’s API requirements for an additional [ * ] period at prices to be negotiated in good faith.
7.5 Inadequate Supply. In the event that Hovione fails to supply at least [ * ] (by weight) of the API specified in a Hovione-accepted Purchase Order for any reason, including

16
Force Majeure, or conditions occur in which Hovione cannot give satisfactory assurances of supply as provided in Section 7.1 above (e.g., insolvency, adverse FDA actions, loss of supply), Allos shall (among other remedies such as termination of this Agreement or reduction in its purchase obligation, or both) have the right to require Hovione to initiate technology transfer for API Manufacturing to Allos or any manufacturer designated by Allos in accordance with a technology transfer procedure established by Allos. Hovione shall fully assist with such transfer, and no Technology Transfer Fees as provided under Section 12.6(a), or any royalties or other obligations shall be due in connection with such transfer or API Manufacturing by this contingent, secondary, or new supplier, as the case may be.

11. TERM AND TERMINATION
11.1 Term. Unless sooner terminated as provided for herein, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for an initial Term commencing on the Effective Date and ending upon the seventh (7th) anniversary of the date Allos obtains a Marketing Approval from the FDA for a Product. This Agreement shall be automatically extended for successive two (2) year terms unless a Party provides written notice of non-extension at least twenty-four (24) months before the date when the new extension period is to begin.
11.2 Termination.
(a) Mutual Consent. The Parties may at any time terminate this Agreement, in part or in its entirety, by mutual written agreement.
(b) Material Breaches.
(i) Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on ninety (90) days written notice in the event the other commits a material breach of its obligations hereunder and fails to remedy it within ninety (90) days after notice of such breach. After the end of the applicable cure period, if the breach has not been cured, the Party having the right to termination may terminate in whole or in part immediately upon notifying the breaching Party in writing. Any termination of this Agreement shall not release the breaching Party from its obligations or otherwise affect or limit the Parties’ rights and remedies.
(ii) This Agreement may be terminated immediately on account of a material breach upon written notice if such breach cannot be reasonably remedied within a ninety (90) day period following notice, or if continuing would subject the non-breaching Party to a substantial risk of material Loss, civil or criminal liability (including the imposition of a Warning

Letter, Import Detention or other official sanction by a Regulatory Authority on the manufacture or import of the API or operations of a Party).
(c) Insolvency. Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement effective upon written notice to the other Party in the event that: (i) the other Party becomes insolvent; (ii) a receiver is appointed for the other Party; or (iii) bankruptcy proceedings are instituted by or against the other Party or on the other Party’s behalf.
(d) Product Failure. This Agreement may be terminated immediately by Allos on written notice if no Product will be marketed or further developed, or if in Allos’s opinion the supply or use of the API might result in liability for infringement of patents or other Intellectual Property Right. If terminated by Allos for such causes, then unless agreed otherwise, all Purchase Orders accepted by Hovione by the date the termination notice is provided and not subject to cancellation shall be fulfilled; provided that Allos may “buy-out” the purchase of those Lots by paying Hovione an amount determined by the manner provided under Section 11.3(a)(i) below, plus the amount of gross profit Hovione would have realized on the those Lots of API if they had been purchased by Allos.
(e) Failure to Meet Minimum. Hovione may terminate this Agreement on three (3) months written notice if Allos does not buy at least the applicable amount of API set forth in Attachment B under “4. Annual API Purchase Base” in the applicable year, unless such failure is due to Hovione’s fault. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Allos shall have the right to obtain three extensions to the dates set forth in Attachment B; provided that Allos shall pay Hovione the amount set forth in Attachment B under “5. Extension Fees” for each extension on or before December 31st of the year in which the minimum purchase obligation was not met. Each extension moves the Annual API Purchase Base by one year. In each case termination shall not occur if Allos has cured such fault within three (3) months of Hovione’s notice.
11.3 Effect of Termination.
(a) Purchase of Inventories. In the event of the Agreement’s termination, Hovione shall ship in the manner provided for under the Quality Agreement, all inventory of API purchased by Allos and held by Hovione as safety stock pursuant to Section 7.3. Allos may at its election purchase all remaining API in Hovione’s inventory that it would not otherwise be obligated to purchase under this Agreement at the lowest price indicated in Attachment B. In addition, at Allos’s election, it may either: (i) purchase, at Hovione’s documented purchase cost, its Raw Materials or In-Process API (valued on a pro-rata basis to manufacturing cycle-time) reasonably purchased or produced for API Manufacturing that cannot be returned for credit or used for producing products for its other customers, plus shipping costs; or (ii) pay for such Raw Materials or In-Process API to be Manufactured into API in accordance with the Agreement. In no event shall Allos be charged for Raw Materials or In-Process API with an amount that exceeds the value of the corresponding amounts of API specified by Allos’ relevant Purchase Orders in effect at the termination date.
(b) Return of Materials. Hovione shall immediately return to Allos copies of all documentation and information and materials relating to API Manufacturing (including

23
copies of development reports and Master Batch Records), the Product, and the Specifications, and Hovione shall make no further use of such documentation, information and materials unless required by a Regulatory Authority. Any original documents provided by Allos to Hovione during the Term shall be returned to Allos, along with any copies thereof, provided that Hovione may keep one archival copy if required by a Regulatory Authority. Documents and materials shall be packaged and shipped in the manner reasonably requested by Allos as needed to preserve their integrity and acceptability to Regulatory Authorities.
(c) Survival. Termination of this Agreement shall not operate to release any Party from any obligation or liability incurred under the terms of this Agreement before or upon termination hereof, nor shall it relieve the Parties of their obligations with respect to API supplied by Hovione hereunder. In addition Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 10.2 (with respect to claims relating to activities occurring during the Term) and 11.3 and Articles 1, 12 (excluding Section 12.6), 13 (with respect to claims relating to activities occurring during the Term), 14 and 16 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement on account of any cause.
12. CONFIDENTIALITY & INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
12.1 Non-Disclosure Agreement. The Parties each agree that the obligations of confidentiality, non-use and non-disclosure set forth in the Mutual Non-disclosure Agreement executed by them concurrently with this Agreement (the “Nondisclosure Agreement”) are incorporated into this Agreement for purposes of determining the Parties rights and obligations with respect to Confidential Information disclosed by each Party under this Agreement.
12.2 Disclosure of Agreement. Neither Allos nor Hovione shall release any information to any other person regarding the terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably. The foregoing consent requirement includes, but is not limited to, press releases, educational and scientific conferences, promotional materials and discussions with the media. If a Party determines that it is required by law to release information regarding this Agreement to any another person, it shall notify the other Party of this fact before releasing the information. The notice to the other Party shall include the text of the information proposed for release. The other Party shall have the right to confer with the notifying Party regarding the necessity for the disclosure and the text of the information proposed for release. Hovione acknowledges that as a public company Allos is required to disclose its material business relationships and principal terms, subject to certain rights to redact Confidential Information. Allos shall confer with Hovione before making such disclosures; however, Allos shall have sole discretion in the contents of the disclosure. Hovione and Allos shall each have the right to disclose the terms of this Agreement to persons engaged or proposing engagement in fiduciary relationships, such as banks extending credit with the Party and bona fide investors and legal counsel, if such persons are subject to reasonable confidentiality and non-use obligations.
12.3 No Implied Licenses. Only the licenses granted pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement shall be of any legal force and effect. No license or any other proprietary rights shall be created by implication or estoppel, in the patents, know-how, trade-secrets, copyrights,

24
trade and other marks, or other Intellectual Property Rights, owned or licensed to the respective Parties
12.4 Ownership of Improvement to the API or API Manufacturing Process. Hovione shall disclose to Allos promptly and in writing all API Improvements, and hereby assigns all API Improvements to Allos and shall execute and provide, and to cause its employees, officers and agents to execute and provide all documents, affidavits, evidence and testimony, and take such other actions as are reasonably requested by Allos to perfect its ownership of the API Improvements and to seek, defend and enforce patents and other Intellectual Property Rights related to the API Improvements. Allos shall have sole discretion over the management of Intellectual Property Rights issues, but shall reimburse Hovione for the reasonable costs incurred by its employees for their assistance in connection with Allos’s efforts to seek, defend and enforce patents and other Intellectual Property Rights related to the API Improvements. Allos makes no claim to any of Hovione’s proprietary technology existing before the Effective Date.
12.5 Hovione License. Allos shall grant Hovione a non-exclusive, non-transferable license under Allos’s Intellectual Property Rights to use (but not sublicense or disclose to or authorize others to use on Hovione’s behalf) generically applicable process improvements and analytical methods within the API Improvements (“Generic Methods”). Such license shall fully exclude any right to use, and Hovione hereby covenants that it shall not use, the Generic Methods to manufacture or test the API or any API Related Compound for any third party until the end of later of the following three periods (“Exclusivity Period”):
(a) The expiration of all United States and European patents covering the API Related Compounds or Products containing any API Related Compounds (including any term extensions and non-patent market exclusivity periods);
(b) [ * ] from the approval by the FDA of the NDA for the Product; and
(c) [ * ] following the last full calendar year during which Hovione supplied Allos with at least [ * ] of any of its API requirements.
In order to protect the confidentiality and other Intellectual Property Rights of Allos, except as directed by Allos, neither Hovione nor any of its Affiliates shall manufacture the API or any API Related Compound during the Term and the Exclusivity Period.
12.6 Hovione Compensation. In order to provide Hovione with an incentive to explore API Improvements; and in order to assure that Hovione acts in the best interests of Allos and its other manufacturers, Hovione shall be entitled to the good consideration set forth below for as long as it is not in breach of the Agreement:
(a) Technology Transfer Fee. For every new API manufacturer that practices any API Improvement, Allos shall pay Hovione a Technology Transfer Fee for the successful, complete and prompt transfer of the API Manufacturing process and API Improvements to that API manufacturer, in the amount set forth in Attachment B under “6. Technology Transfer Fee–

25
Transfer Fee,” fifty percent (50%) of which shall be paid when Allos directs Hovione to initiate technology transfer, and the balance upon completion of technology transfer as demonstrated by successful manufacture of three (3) API “Process Validation Batches” meeting all Specifications.
(b) Production Fee. For every new API manufacturer that practices any API Improvement, Allos shall pay Hovione a Technology Transfer Fee for its successful, complete and prompt transfer of the API Manufacturing process and API Improvements, in the amount set forth in Attachment B under “6. Technology Transfer Fee–Production Fee” on [ * ] manufactured by each such new API manufacturer.
(c) Divided Manufacturing. For purposes of this Section 12.6, “Manufacturing” by a new API producer shall only include the API synthesis and purification and not the performance of incidental services such as testing and processing, and in the case that synthesis and or purification are divided between manufacturers, then multiple Technology Transfer Fees shall not be due, but they shall be treated as a single new manufacturer.
12.7 Trade Names and Trademarks. Allos hereby acknowledges that except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, it does not have, and shall not acquire by virtue of this Agreement, any rights to or under any goodwill, trademark or trade name of Hovione, nor in any of Hovione’s trademark or trade names appearing on the label or packaging materials of API. Hovione hereby acknowledges that it does not have, and shall not acquire by virtue of this Agreement, any rights to or under any goodwill, trademark or trade name of Allos, nor in any of Allos’s trademarks or trade names appearing on the label or packaging materials of API or Product. Neither Party shall use the trademarks or trade names owned by the other under which API is manufactured on any other goods or products, except as provided hereunder. Each Party further agrees not to contest, deny or dispute the validity of any trademarks or trade names owned by the other Party appearing on the labels or packaging materials of API or the title of such other Party, and not to assist others in doing so, and not to take any action of any kind inconsistent with the holding of all such rights by such other Party.
13. INDEMNIFICATION
13.1 Hovione’s Obligation to Indemnify. Hovione shall indemnify, defend and hold Allos and its directors, officers, employees and agents (“Allos Indemnitees”) harmless against any and all Losses incurred by any of them as a result of any third party claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding resulting from, arising out of, or connected with: (a) liability claims arising directly and exclusively from the manufacture of the API to the extent caused by Hovione’s breach of any obligation under the Agreement; (b) infringement claims arising from a breach of any of Hovione’s warranties or a breach of its other obligations; and (c) the clean-up, remediation and restoration arising out of or related to Hovione’s storage, handling, transportation, incineration or disposal of any Waste that may be generated by API Manufacturing. Hovione’s obligations set forth in this Section 13.1 shall not include Losses on such claims to the extent that they are caused by the (y) breach by any Allos Indemnitee of its obligations under the Agreement, or (z) any negligent or otherwise wrongful act or omission of any Allos Indemnitee or Affiliate.
CONFIDENTIAL

26
13.2 Allos’s Obligation to Indemnify. Allos shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Hovione and its directors, officers, employees and agents (“Hovione Indemnitees”) against any and all Losses incurred by any of them as a result of any third party claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding resulting from, arising out of, or connected with: (a) product liability claims arising from the testing, sale or use of the API or the Product, including the effects of the intrinsic properties of the API and (b) infringement claims arising from a breach of any of Allos’s warranties or a breach of its other obligations. Allos obligations set forth in this Section 13.2 shall not include Losses on such claims to the extent that they arise from the (y) breach by any Hovione Indemnitee of its obligations under the Agreement, or (z) any negligent or otherwise wrongful act or omission by any Hovione Indemnitee or Affiliate.
13.3 Obligations of the Party Seeking to be Indemnified. Each Party’s indemnification obligations shall be conditioned on compliance with the procedure outlined below by that person and other persons associated with the same Party. The Party providing the indemnification is the “Indemnifying Party,” and the Party or other person seeking or receiving such indemnification is the “Indemnified Party.”
(a) Notice. Upon receipt or occurrence of any written claim, demand or other event that the Indemnified Party believes might give rise to the indemnification obligations, the Indemnified Party shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after forming such belief, give written notice to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the failure to give timely notice to the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability to the Indemnified Party unless the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the investigation, defense, settlement or mitigation of such claim is prejudiced by such failure.
(b) Control. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, by prompt notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume, at its cost, the investigation, defense and settlement of such claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume the defense of such claim or, having done so, does not diligently pursue such defense, the Indemnified Party may, but will not be obligated to, assume such defense, with counsel of its choice, but at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, it shall have absolute control of the conduct of the litigation, including settlement and investigation, unless the Indemnified Party has relieved the Indemnifying Party from indemnification liability with respect to the particular claim; the Indemnified Party may, nevertheless, participate therein through counsel of its choice and at its cost.
(c) Assistance. The Party not assuming the defense of any claim shall cooperate and render all reasonable assistance to the Party assuming the defense, and all out-of-pocket costs of such assistance shall paid by the Indemnifying Party. No such claim shall be settled other than by the Party defending such claim, and then only with the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
13.4 Limitation on Liability. Hovione’s total aggregate liability (whether for breach of contract, negligence, breach of statutory duty and/or other tort, or otherwise) in connection with or as a result of the work carried out or materials provided under this Agreement shall not

27
exceed a value equal to [ * ]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitation on liability shall not apply in respect of Hovione’s indemnification obligation under Section 13.1.
14. INSURANCE
14.1 Coverage. During the Term of the Agreement and for [ * ] years thereafter, if issued on a claims made basis, Hovione shall maintain Commercial General Liability insurance providing not less than [ * ] per occurrence, excluding product liability insurance on a worldwide basis and contractual liability coverage. All coverage shall be underwritten by reputable underwriters. Promptly after the Effective Date, Hovione shall add Allos as an additional insured under Hovione’s policy. Hovione shall provide Allos with a certificate of insurance upon request. Hovione shall provide Allos with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any material change, cancellation or expiration of the above-required insurance.
14.2 Review. On an annual basis, Hovione shall provide Allos with a current certificate of coverage demonstrating that the coverage specified in Section 14.1 is in force and shall immediately notify Allos of any actual or threatened reduction, termination, non-renewal or materially adverse change in terms of coverage. Hovione shall provide Allos with thirty (30) days’ written notice of any cancellation or material change in the coverage specified in Section 14.1. Hovione represents and warrants that it has obtained and shall maintain all coverage, including its preparation of any applications and endorsements in compliance with its obligations under the terms of coverage of such polices and shall otherwise comply with all requirements under such policies. Failure to maintain the insurance coverage as set forth in this Article 14 shall be deemed a material breach of the Agreement.
15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
15.1 Internal Mediation of Dispute. In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to any provision of this Agreement or otherwise between the Parties or their Affiliates, the Parties shall try to settle the differences amicably through the Project Managers, and if necessary the Steering Committee. If the Steering Committee is unable to resolve the matter, the issue shall be addressed by the Chief Executive Officers of each Party or their respective designees. The designees shall be individuals who possess the authority to settle the dispute but who do not have direct responsibility for administration of this Agreement. ANY DISPUTES NOT RESOLVED BY THE DESIGNEES SHALL BE FINALLY AND EXCLUSIVELY RESOLVED BY CONFIDENTIAL BINDING ARBITRATION AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 15.2.
15.2 Arbitration. Whenever a Party shall decide to institute arbitration proceedings, it shall give written notice to that effect to the other Party. The Party giving such notice shall refrain from instituting the arbitration proceedings for a period of sixty (60) days following such notice. The arbitration shall be held in New York, New York according to the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). A single arbitrator mutually chosen by the Parties shall conduct the arbitration. If the Parties cannot agree upon a single arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the institution of the arbitration proceeding, then the arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators appointed in accordance with AAA rules; provided, however, that each Party shall, within thirty (30) days after the institution of the arbitration

28
proceedings, appoint one arbitrator with the third arbitrator being chosen by the other two arbitrators. If only one Party appoints an arbitrator, then such arbitrator shall be entitled to act as the sole arbitrator to resolve the controversy. All arbitrators eligible to conduct the arbitration must agree to render their opinion(s) within thirty (30) days of the final arbitration hearing. The arbitrator(s) shall have the authority to grant injunctive relief and specific performance and to allocate between the Parties the costs of arbitration in such equitable manner as he determines; provided, however, that each Party shall bear its own costs and attorneys’ and witness’ fees. The arbitrator(s) shall, upon the request of either Party, issue a written opinion of the findings of fact and conclusions of law and shall deliver a copy to each of the Parties. Decisions of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on all of the Parties. Judgment on the award so rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
15.3 Injunctions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, a Party also shall have the right to obtain provisional remedies, including preliminary and temporary injunctive relief or/and specific performance, from a court having jurisdiction, as well as such equitable remedies as needed to enforce an arbitration decision. A Party seeking and/or obtaining injunctions shall not be required to prove the amount, irreparability, immediacy or likelihood of damages, nor shall it be required to post any bond (the posting of which is irrevocably waived).
15.4 Choice of Law & Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and the rights of the Parties shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, USA, without regard to its conflict of law provisions; provided, however, that patents and other intellectual property rights shall be construed and determined in accordance with the laws of the country under which such rights are granted. In no event shall the provisions of this Agreement be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. THE PARTIES ALSO HEREBY AGREE AND FOREVER WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF THE ARBITRAL AND JUDICIAL BODIES PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE 15, AND TO SERVICE OF PROCESS BY NOTICE AS PROVIDED BY SECTION 16.5 BELOW.
16. GENERAL PROVISIONS
16.1 Integration & Severability. This Agreement, together with its Attachments, the Quality Agreement and the Nondisclosure Agreement, is the full and final negotiated contract between the Parties and all prior and contemporaneous written and oral understandings, contracts, purchase orders, and agreements (including the Term Sheet) are merged into, and shall be deemed as if performed under this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute a single agreement. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is judicially determined to be unenforceable, in part or in whole, the remaining provisions or portions of this Agreement shall be valid and binding to the fullest extent possible, and the Parties shall endeavor to negotiate modified or additional terms, as feasible, in a timely manner so as to fully effectuate the original intent of the Parties to the extent possible, and in the event they are unable to reach an agreement then the arbitrator or court may establish such modified provision.

29
16.2 Waivers & Amendment. Any failure by a Party to enforce any right which it may have hereunder in any instance shall not be deemed to waive any right which it or the other Party may have with respect to any provision of this Agreement, including the provision which such Party has failed to enforce. A waiver of a breach shall not act as a waiver or release of any other breach, regardless if prior, contemporaneous or subsequent, known or unknown or of the same or different nature, cause, effect or provision of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement shall be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in a in writing signed by a duly authorized officer of each Party.
16.3 Legal Relationship. The Parties acknowledge, agree, and declare that the relationship hereby established between them is solely that of provider and recipient of manufacturing services and that each Party hereto is an independent contractor with respect to the other, and not as a joint venturer, partner, distributor or any other type of relationship, and shall not be construed as an authorization of either Party to act as an agent of the other. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as to create an exclusive relationship between the Parties hereto. Each may enter into similar or dissimilar arrangements with others and engage in activities for its own account, subject to their compliance with confidentiality and other provisions of this Agreement. The Parties agree that they have and shall at all times perform this Agreement in good faith.
16.4 Force Majeure.
(a) Occurrences. Neither Party shall be responsible to the other Party for any failure, delay or interruption in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement if such failure, delay or interruption is caused, directly or indirectly, by accident, casualty, fire, flood, weather, typhoon, act of God, earthquake, epidemic, riot, terrorist act, insurrection, war, failure or delay of normal sources of supply of materials, failure or delay of public utilities or carriers, act, exercise, assertion or requirement of a governmental authority, or other cause beyond the reasonable control of the Party affected (“Force Majeure”) if the Party affected has used its best efforts to avoid such occurrence and such occurrence is not due to any fault or neglect of such Party. If either Party believes that the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement will be delayed or interrupted as a result of any of the reasons stated in this Section 16.4(a) and provided it is able to do so, then it shall promptly notify the other Party of the delay or interruption and the cause, and also provide the other Party with a good faith estimate of when performance of its obligations will resume.
(b) Production Assurance. When the Party affected is able to recommence the performance of obligations delayed or interrupted as a result of any of the reasons stated in Section 16.4(a), it shall notify the other Party and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, it shall promptly resume performing its obligations. Hovione shall not be entitled to invoke the provisions of this Section 16.4 as an excuse for default or delay in performance based upon its need to do work for others or on its own behalf resulting in constraints upon the availability of its manufacturing and packaging capacity, unless such constraints resulted from an event of Force Majeure as defined herein. In such an event, Hovione shall equitably allocate its resources among its various customers, including Allos. Additionally, in the event Hovione cannot provide Allos with API for more than [ * ], Hovione will notify Allos and Allos may, at

its option, terminate or suspend this Agreement in whole or in part upon written notice to Hovione. Should this Agreement be suspended or terminated pursuant to this Section 16.4(b), Hovione agrees to give Allos, or a third party designated by Allos, such technical assistance as Allos or its designee may reasonably require to enable Allos or its designee to Manufacture API, including, without limitation, the transfer of know-how, technical data, documentation and the provision of material support and training at the manufacturing site or sites designated by Allos. No Technology Transfer Fees as set forth under Section 12.6 above shall be due in connection with the technology transfer to and API manufacture by such third parties, and Allos’s purchase obligations shall be suspended.
16.5 Notice. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given in person, delivered by recognized overnight delivery service, sent by mail (certified or registered or air mail for addresses outside of the continental United States), or by telefax (or other similar means of electronic communication), the receipt of which is confirmed by confirming telefax, and addressed as indicated in Attachment A (Notices, Project Managers and Other Key Personnel), or such other person and/or address as may have been furnished in writing to the notifying Party of the change to such Attachment. Except as otherwise provided herein, any notice shall be deemed delivered upon the earlier of: (a) actual receipt; (b) three (3) business days after delivery to such recognized overnight delivery service; (c) five (5) business days after deposit in the mail (ten (10) days for international mail); or (d) the date of receipt of the confirming telefax.
16.6 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by either Party, except to an Affiliate, without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be void. If this Agreement is assigned to an Affiliate of a Party, the assigning Party shall remain responsible for all of its obligations specified in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding, in the event of: (a) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of a Party’s assets related to API Manufacturing or developing and/or marketing Products; or (b) the merger or consolidation of a Party with another company, this Agreement shall be assignable to the transferee or successor company of the assigning Party, without the need of the prior written consent of the other Party. This Agreement shall be binding upon all permitted successors in interest, assigns, trustees and other legal representatives of the Parties.
16.7 Further Assurances Regarding Corporate Partnerships. During the Term, Allos shall not enter into any agreement with a Corporate Partner that would conflict with Allos’ obligations under this Agreement or result in a material adverse change in Hovione’s economic rights under this Agreement. Allos will provide a copy of this Agreement to any Corporate Partner to whom Allos may supply API manufactured by Hovione pursuant to this Agreement. At Hovione’s request, Allos shall obtain from such Corporate Partner a letter signed by an officer of the Corporate Partner acknowledging receipt of a copy of this Agreement. Allos further assures that Hovione’s interests will be taken into consideration and defended when Allos negotiates the Corporate Partnership.
16.8 Interpretation. All references to Articles shall refer to the Articles contained in this Agreement. All references to Attachments shall, except as otherwise explicitly provided, refer to the Attachments appended to this Agreement, all of which are incorporated herein by
