to Hospira pursuant to Section 6.1. Cempra’s Minimum Purchase requirements are as follows: [*]. In lieu of Cempra taking delivery of all of the Minimum Purchase Requirement, Cempra shall have the option to pay the shortfall of the Minimum Purchase Requirement at the prices set forth in Exhibit 5.10 and waive Hospira’s manufacture and delivery obligations for the Product. In the latter event, Hospira shall invoice Cempra for the amount payable, and Cempra shall pay Hospira such amount within [*] days after receipt of Hospira’s invoice. Notwithstanding anything of the foregoing, all Product paid for by Cempra shall count towards the Minimum Purchase Requirement and, in the event Cempra pays for all Product delivered by Hospira in a particular Commercial Year and the amount set forth above with respect to any waiver of Hospira’s manufacture and delivery obligations with respect to such Commercial Year, Cempra shall be deemed to have satisfied its Minimum Purchase Requirement with respect to such Commercial Year.

6.9 Purchase Order Changes; Cancellations.

(a) Changes. If Cempra requests that changes be made to any of its Purchase Orders within the Firm Order period, Hospira shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to accommodate such changes within reasonable manufacturing capabilities and efficiencies. If Hospira can accommodate such changes, but would incur additional expenses in making such changes, Hospira shall advise Cempra of any costs associated therewith. If Cempra agrees in writing to accept these costs, Hospira will make the changes to the Purchase Orders and add the extra costs to the relevant invoice. If Hospira cannot accommodate such change, Cempra shall nonetheless be bound to its original Purchase Orders.

(b) Cancellations. If Cempra cancels any Purchase Order within the Firm Order Period, Hospira shall be relieved of its manufacturing obligations relating to such order; provided, however, that [*]. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.9(b) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, with respect to any Purchase Order to the extent that Cempra has not supplied sufficient API to allow Hospira to fulfill such Purchase Order or Cempra acts in any other manner that effectively materially interferes with Hospira’s ability to fulfill such Purchase Order.

6.10 Shortage of Supply; Supply Failure. In the event that Hospira is unable to manufacture and supply the Product in accordance with Cempra’s Purchase Orders, Hospira shall notify Cempra promptly in writing.

(a) If such inability is not (i) caused by an event of force majeure, (ii) primarily attributable to Cempra’s acts or omissions or breach of its obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) attributable in whole or in part to Component suppliers’ acts or omissions despite Hospira’s commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the relevant Components from all approved suppliers for such Components, then Hospira shall be solely responsible for undertaking all commercially reasonable measures to minimize any possible shortage of Product to Cempra as a result of its manufacturing issues. If Hospira cannot undertake such measures promptly, then either party may request that the Project Managers convene a meeting to discuss possible remedial action.

[*] Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.

10.6 Cempra Termination Rights. In the event Cempra or any of its Affiliates licenses or grants a Third Party exclusive rights to sell, offer for sale, or otherwise commercialize one or more Products in one or more countries, then Cempra shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Product(s) and country(ies) subject to such license or grant upon twenty-four (24) months written notice to Hospira; provided, however, that Cempra may not provide such written notice prior to the end of the first (1^st) Commercial Year.

10.7 Accrued Payment Obligations. Upon termination pursuant to this Article 10, Cempra shall reimburse Hospira for Hospira’s reasonable, documented, direct cost of all Components purchased and on hand or on order, if such Components were ordered by Hospira based on Firm Purchase Orders, and such supplies of Components cannot be reasonably used by Hospira for other purposes.

10.9 Return of Confidential Information. Upon expiry or termination of this Agreement for any reason, each party shall immediately return to the other all of the other party’s Confidential Information, in any form or medium disclosed by the disclosing party (or upon a party’s instructions in writing, destroy the same and certify its destruction); provided, however, that each party shall be allowed to retain one (1) copy of the other’s Confidential Information to ensure continuing compliance with Article 11.

11.1 Nondisclosure. It is contemplated that in the course of the performance of this Agreement each party may, from time to time, disclose Confidential Information to the other. Hospira agrees that, except as expressly provided herein, it shall not disclose Confidential Information received from Cempra (or otherwise deemed Cempra’s Confidential Information under Section 1.15), and shall not use Confidential Information disclosed to it by Cempra (or otherwise deemed Cempra’s Confidential Information under Section 1.15,) for any purpose other than to fulfill Hospira’s obligations hereunder. Cempra agrees that, except as expressly provided herein, it shall not disclose Hospira’s Confidential Information, and shall not use Hospira’s Confidential Information, for any purpose other than to fulfill Cempra’s obligations or exercise Cempra’s rights hereunder. Each party shall use reasonable and customary precautions to safeguard the other party’s Confidential Information, including ensuring that it will limit the permitted disclosures of the other’s Confidential Information only to those persons who have a “need to know” such Confidential Information and ensuring that all persons (including such party’s employees, consultants and agents) who are given access to such Confidential Information are informed of the confidential and proprietary nature of such Confidential Information and have contractual or professional confidentiality and non-use obligations that are at least as restrictive as those contained in this Agreement.

11.2 Exceptions to Duty of Nondisclosure.

(a) General Exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude Cempra from utilizing or disclosing Confidential Information as may be necessary in prosecuting the patent rights of Cempra (including those owned by Cempra pursuant to Article 9), obtaining or maintaining Regulatory Approval(s), making, using, or selling Products, exercising those rights granted in Sections 9.2 and 9.3, or complying with Applicable Laws or court orders; provided, however, that the party required to disclose such information uses reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment of such information. The obligations of the parties relating to Confidential Information shall expire seven (7) years after the expiry or termination of this Agreement.

(b) Public Announcements. Neither party shall make any public announcement concerning the transactions contemplated herein, nor make any public statement which includes the name of the other party or any of its Affiliates, or otherwise use the name of the other party or any of its Affiliates in any public statement or document, except as may be required by law, rule, regulation, or judicial order, without the written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cempra may identify the other party to the this Agreement and disclose the terms of this Agreement as reasonably necessary or useful in connection with the development, commercialization and/or divestiture or other disposition of the Product, subject to reasonable conditions of confidentiality, and either party may disclose the terms of this Agreement subject to the following conditions:

Page 34

(i) to the extent such disclosure is required to comply with applicable laws, rules, or regulations, including the rules and regulations promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission; provided, further, that prior to making any such disclosure, the party intending to so disclose the terms of this Agreement shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, provide the non-disclosing party with reasonable prior written notice of the proposed disclosure and an opportunity to review and comment on the intended disclosure which is reasonable under the circumstances; or

(ii) to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in the following instances: to its Affiliates, and to prospective and actual acquirers, merger or acquisition targets, licensees, sub-licensees, licensors, other strategic partners, employees, consultants, agents, accountants, lawyers, advisors, investors, lenders, and investment bankers, on a need to know basis, each of whom prior to disclosure must be bound by written or professional ethical obligations of confidentiality and non-use substantially as restrictive in scope as those set forth in this Article 11 and that are of materially similar or greater duration in view of the circumstances of the disclosure.

(c) Subject to any legal or judicial disclosure obligation, any such public announcement proposed by a party that names the other party shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, first be provided in draft to the other party.

11.3 Injunctive Relief. The parties acknowledge that either party’s breach of this Article 11 may cause the other party irreparable injury for which it would not have an adequate remedy at law. In the event of a breach, the non-breaching party may be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to any other remedies it may have at law or in equity.

ARTICLE 12. MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Force Majeure; Failure of Suppliers; Responsibility for Affiliates.

(a) Excusable Delay. Neither party shall be considered to be in breach of this Agreement if a delay in the performance of any of its duties or obligations hereunder (except the payment of money) has been caused by or is the result of an act of God, acts of a public enemy, insurrections, riots, embargoes, labor disputes, including strikes, lockouts, job actions, boycotts, fires, explosions, floods, shortages of material or energy, or other unforeseeable causes beyond the reasonable control and without the fault or negligence of the party so affected (each, an event of “force majeure”). The performance of the affected party shall be extended for a period equal to the period of such delay; provided, however, that the affected party shall give prompt written notice to the other party of such cause, and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to relieve the effect of such force majeure and resume compliance with this Agreement as soon as reasonably possible. Should the event of force majeure continue for a period longer than one hundred eighty (180) days, the party not affected thereby may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.4(c).

Page 35

(b) Transfer of Production. If Hospira becomes subject to an event of force majeure which interferes with production of Product at the Facility, the parties shall use good faith efforts to mutually agree in writing on implementation of an agreed-upon action plan to transfer production of Product to another Hospira plant.
