(d) | In the event that any Product packaging materials are returned for reuse from Clinical Trial sites, POINT shall be responsible for transportation, disposal and/or replacement of any damaged, unusable or lost materials, if applicable. |
3.4. | Inability to Supply. Time is of the essence for the supply of the Product. In the event that it becomes apparent to CPDC at any time that it will be unable to fulfill any Production Order or a Production Order will be delivered late, then CPDC shall immediately notify POINT in writing of CPDC’s inability to meet such requirements for Product, along with a specific indication of the reasons for such a situation, the proposed remedial measures, the date such inability is expected to end. According to that information, POINT shall be free to cancel the Production Order that CPDC is unable to fulfil and POINT shall not be liable for payment of the fees specified in Schedule 1, except in the following circumstances, in which the cancellation charges described in section 3.2(e) shall apply: where the failure to or delay in supplying Products is (a) due to circumstances described in Section 12 (force majeure), or (b) in the case of delay, where, had the Production Order not been cancelled, the delay would not have resulted in delay in patient administration, delay in preclinical and/or Clinical Trials or other loss for POINT. |
3.5. | Pricing and Payment Terms. Schedule 1 of this Supply Agreement details the pricing and payment terms for the Product. For all batch-related fees and supply of Product, CPDC shall invoice POINT monthly. CPDC shall send such invoices to: |

Supply Agreement – Lu-177-PNT2002 |
POINT shall pay such invoice within thirty (30) days of receipt of the invoice in accordance with the Supply Agreement. | |
3.6. | Batch Testing. POINT shall have the right but not the obligation to conduct any Batch testing (at its own expense) or investigation it determines to be of value to determine compliance of Product with the Specifications and/or pursuant to any other standard imposed by law. A Batch shall be deemed to be acceptable if, upon testing, it meets the Specifications, relevant cGMP standards, all other applicable laws, rules and regulations (and any additional tests as agreed by the Parties). If either Party discovers that a Batch does not meet the Specifications, relevant cGMP standards or other applicable laws, rules or regulations, then the discovering Party shall promptly communicate with the other Party. All warranty obligations of CPDC with respect to a particular Batch shall cease and have no effect to the extent that any defect in such Batch arises from abuse, misuse, alteration, mishandling, improper storage or gross negligence by POINT or POINT’s employees, representatives, agents, suppliers or carriers, or defects in Precursor materials furnished by POINT which are used in the production of such Batch. |
3.7. | Dispute Over Quality. In the event of a conflict regarding whether or not Product met the Specifications, cGMP standards or other applicable laws, rules or regulations, at the time of delivery, which CPDC and POINT are unable to resolve after a good faith attempt by both Parties to resolve such matter in a period of [***] days after the conflict arises, a sample of such Product shall be submitted by POINT or its designee to an independent laboratory reasonably acceptable to both Parties for testing and the test results obtained by such laboratory shall be final and controlling for purposes of this Agreement. In the event the independent laboratory test results indicate that the rejected Product in question met the Specifications, cGMP standards, and all other applicable laws, rules and regulations, then POINT shall pay all additional shipping and transportation costs incurred as a result of the conflict and shall accept and pay for the previously rejected Product in accordance with all applicable provisions hereunder. |
3.8. | Non-Conforming Products. In the event it is settled pursuant to Section 3.6 or 3.7 that Product in question did not meet the Specifications, cGMP standards or other applicable laws, rules or regulations, CPDC shall replace such Product, including “Total Batch Production Fee”, the “Dispensing Fees” and “Logistics and Distribution Fees”, at no additional cost to POINT, except for the isotope, precursor and reference standard and the associated shipping cost. |
3.9. | Reliability. Manufacturing reliability is essential to minimizing interruptions patient treatment cycles and clinical trial deviations. The cumulative manufacturing reliability threshold will be set as follows: |
[***] batches [***] % (for the avoidance of doubt equal or higher than [***]% successful runs) [***] batches [***] % (for the avoidance of doubt equal or higher than [***]% successful runs) [***] batches [***]% (for the avoidance of doubt equal or higher than [***]% successful runs) | |
Should a batch fail while the manufacturing reliability is below the set threshold, and the root cause of the failure is attributable to CPDC as determined by an investigation, a reduction of [***] percent ([***]%) of the Batch Production Fees (including the relevant Unit Fees) shall apply to the next Batch Production Order (single batch order). If CPDC fails more than [***] batches in a Calendar Quarter, then the Parties agree to discuss changes to the agreement and may renegotiate in good faith an amendment to the terms and conditions set forth in this Supply Agreement to achieve conditions suitable for POINT to complete its clinical trial. |
