Such Safety Stock shall correspond to at least three (3) months of Licensee’s average monthly orders for Finished Product over the previous twelve (12) calendar months to be assessed and updated at the end of each calendar quarter, and shall be rotated with Licensor’s regular inventory of Finished Product to maintain shelf life. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties expressly agree that the costs and expenses incurred by Licensor as result of keeping such Safety Stock shall be deemed already included in the Supply Price. |

14. | THIRD PARTY MANUFACTURING |
14.1 | Licensor shall for this Agreement reserve for itself the manufacturing rights and Know-how in relation to the Finished Product, but hereby agrees at any time, to appoint a subcontracting manufacturer (the “Second Source Manufacturer”) mutually agreed upon by Licensor and Licensee as a back-up manufacturer of the Finished Product. The Parties agrees not to unreasonably withhold their consent to the appointment of such Second Source Manufacturer. Licensor shall, following signature by the Second Source Manufacture of a confidentiality agreement with terms at least as strong as those agreed by the Parties in this Agreement, deposit with and transfer to the Second Source Manufacturer all Detailed Manufacturing Documentation. Licensor's agreement with such Second Source Manufacturer must bind the Second Source Manufacturer to the same standards and provisions as applicable to the Finished Product supply and manufacturing under and subject to this Agreement. Licensor warrants and is ultimately responsible for the compliance of any such Second Source Manufacturer to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. |

14.2 | Licensor shall promptly notify Licensee in the event that Licensor is for any reason at any time during the Term unable to supply Licensee with the Finished Product as ordered by Licensee according to Clause 12.1, including without limitation to deliver Finished Product on time or because Licensor is not technically capable of delivering Finished Product to the specification required by the Marketing Authorisation. If such inability to supply continues for a period exceeding three (3) months, Licensee shall have the right to order the Finished Product directly from Licensor's supplier or, at Licensee's own discretion, demand that Licensor without delay transfers the (or some of the, as appropriate) manufacture of the Finished Product to the Second Source Manufacturer and Licensee shall thereafter have the right to order the Finished Product (or, in the case of an inability to completely supply some of the volume of Finished Product required, that volume of Finished Product that Licensor is unable to supply) from the Second Source Manufacturer until such time that Licensor’s inability to supply ceases, to the satisfaction of Licensee (acting reasonably). |
14.3 | For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee may not exercise its rights under Clause 14.2 while the Parties await an award to be rendered in proceedings referred by either party under Clause 14.4. However, in the event that proceedings are referred by either party under Clause 14.4 and an award is not rendered in such proceedings within thirty (30) days for whatever reason, Licensee may exercise its rights under Clause 14.2 while the Parties await such an award to be rendered. |
14.4 | Any dispute between the Parties as to (a) the reasonableness of a party’s objections to one or more of the preferred Second Source Manufacturers specified by the other party above; or (b) whether the prerequisites for exercising Licensee’s rights under Clause 14.2 to order the Finished Product from the Second Source Manufacturer are met, shall be submitted to the dispute resolution procedure set out in Clause 37. |
14.5 | Licensor shall be solely responsible for any costs associated with or resulting from any manufacturing site change and Licensor shall be solely responsible for the costs of locating and qualifying a Second Source Manufacturer. |

The costs and expenses incurred for such full range inspection of the Product shall be discussed in good faith and agreed between the Parties. |
17.7 | Licensor acknowledges and agrees that Licensee may, subject to applicable mandatory legislation, from time to time and at its option rely on the certificate of analysis issued by Licensor pursuant to Clause 17.3 herein above and sell Product delivered by Licensor without testing or inspecting the compliance of Product with the Agreed Quality.

17.9 | Licensor agrees to, at its own expense, review any written claim made by Licensee regarding Non-Conforming Finished Product and provide Licensee with the results of its review within thirty (30) days after Licensor's receipt of such written claim. At Licensor’s request and expense, Licensee shall if available return to Licensor for testing the Finished Product at issue or a representative sample thereof. If Licensor’s test results reasonably confirm the Finished Product as Non-Conforming Finished Product, Licensee shall return all Non-Conforming Finished Product to Licensor at Licensor’s expense or at Licensor's discretion destroy such Non-Conforming Finished Product, and Licensor shall, at Licensor's option and sole remedy, either make a replacement delivery of conforming Finished Product within fourteen (14) days from the receipt of Licensee’s notice or reimburse Licensee for any payments made for such Non-Conforming Finished Product. |
17.10 | If Licensor’s test results do not confirm the Finished Product’s non-conformance, and if the Parties cannot resolve the issue of non-conformance of such Finished Product, Licensor shall submit to a mutually acceptable independent laboratory located in the Territory, such Finished Product or a representative sample thereof, along with a reference sample of Finished Product which has previously been confirmed by Licensor as conforming to the Agreed Quality, the test protocols described in the specifications and mutually agreeable interrogatories to be answered by such laboratory. The determination of the Finished Product’s conformance or non-conformance to the Agreed Quality shall be binding upon the Parties. If the laboratory determines that the Finished Product is conforming, Licensee shall pay all independent laboratory and shipping costs incurred by Licensor. If such laboratory confirms the Finished Product tested as Non-Conforming Finished Product, Licensor shall pay all independent laboratory costs and shall, at Licensor's option, either make a replacement delivery of conforming Finished Product free of charge within fourteen (14) days from the date of such laboratory confirmation or reimburse Licensee for any payments made for such Non-Conforming Finished Product. |
22 (42) |
