Quantity Dispensed: The total quantity of Active Materials dispensed at the Manufacturing Site or the Secondary Manufacturing Site, as applicable, during the applicable quarter. The Quantity Dispensed for each of the Manufacturing Site and the Secondary Manufacturing Site is calculated by adding the Quantity Received at such site to the inventory of Active Materials at such site that complied with the Specifications at the time such Active Materials were received by Patheon and have been held at such site at the beginning of the applicable quarter, less the inventory of Active Materials at such site that complied with the Specifications at the time such Active Materials were received by Patheon at such site and are held at the end of such quarter. The Quantity Dispensed shall only include Active Materials received and dispensed in connection with commercial manufacturing of Products and, for certainty, shall not include any Active Materials received or dispensed in connection with technical transfer activities or development activities agreed to in writing by the Parties during the applicable period, including, without limitation, any regulatory, stability, validation or test batches manufactured during such applicable period.
Quantity Converted: The total amount of Active Materials contained in the Products produced at the Manufacturing Site or Secondary Manufacturing Site, as applicable, with the Quantity Dispensed (including lab samples required by the Specifications and any additional Products produced pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.2) at such site, delivered by Patheon, but not including Products rejected, recalled or returned in accordance with Section 6.1 or 6.2 as a result of a failure by Patheon to provide Manufacturing Services in accordance with Specifications, the Quality Agreement(s), cGMPs and Applicable Laws.

[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. These portions have been omitted from this exhibit and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Within [***] after the end of each Year, Patheon shall prepare an annual reconciliation of Active Materials for each of the Manufacturing Site and the Secondary Manufacturing Site in accordance with the reconciliation report form annexed hereto as Schedule I including the calculation of the “Actual Annual Yield” or “AAY” for the Product at each of the Manufacturing Site and the Secondary Manufacturing Site during the Year, which AAY is the percentage of the Quantity Dispensed that was converted to Products and is calculated as follows:
Quantity Converted during the Year
Quantity Dispensed during the Year
For each of the Manufacturing Site and the Secondary Manufacturing Site, after Patheon has produced [***] commercial production batches of Product at such site and has produced commercial production batches for at least six months at such site pursuant to this Agreement, the Parties will mutually agree on the target yield in respect of such Product at such site (each, a “Target Yield”). Thereafter, Patheon shall strive to maintain Actual Annual Yield levels for the Product at each of the Manufacturing Site and Secondary Manufacturing Site above the Target Yield for such site. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Target Yield for each such site will be adjusted yearly through good faith negotiations, which negotiations will take into account the Actual Annual Yield for the Product for such site over the preceding Year. For clarity, Patheon shall calculate separate Active Annual Yields and the Parties will agree on separate Target Yields, in each case as described above, for each of the Manufacturing Site and the Secondary Manufacturing Site.
(b) | Shortfall Calculation. For each of the Manufacturing Site and the Secondary Manufacturing Site, if the Actual Annual Yield falls more than [***] below the respective Target Yield for such site in a Year, then the shortfall for such site for such Year (the “Shortfall”) shall be determined based on the following calculation: |
[(Target Yield – [***]) – AAY] * Active Material Reimbursement Value * Quantity Dispensed
The Shortfall for each of the Manufacturing Site and the Secondary Manufacturing Site shall be disclosed by Patheon on the reconciliation report prepared in the form annexed hereto as Schedule I.
Credit. For each of the Manufacturing Site and the Secondary Manufacturing Site, if there is a Shortfall for a Product in a Year, then Patheon shall, at Client’s sole option, either reimburse Client for the amount of any such Shortfall or credit the Client’s account for the amount of any such Shortfall, in either case not later than [***] after the end of such

TransOral Patheon MSA (Cincinnati and Whitby) – EXECUTION DRAFT
Year. Each credit or reimbursement under this Section 2.2 shall be summarized on the reconciliation report prepared in the form annexed hereto as Schedule I and shall be promptly reimbursed or credited to Client, as applicable.
(c) | Maximum Credit Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2, for both the Manufacturing Site and the Secondary Manufacturing Site together, Patheon’s liability for Active Materials calculated in accordance with this Section 2.2 for any Product in a Year shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the Maximum Credit Value set forth in Schedule D hereto. |
(d) | Significant Active Materials Loss. Patheon shall notify Client in writing in the event an amount in excess of in excess of [***] of Active Materials is damaged, lost or otherwise rendered unusable (including to the extent contained in any non-conforming Product) by Patheon at any one time (a “Significant Active Materials Loss”) as soon as practicable following such incident. In addition, and notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.2 to the contrary, Patheon shall reimburse Client for such Active Materials within thirty (30) days after discovery of the Significant Active Materials Loss. For purposes of clarity, any Active Materials damaged, lost or otherwise rendered unusable in connection with a Significant Active Materials Loss shall be included in the calculation of the Quantity Dispensed and any amount paid by Patheon in accordance with this Section 2.2(d) shall be credited against the amount, if any, to be paid by Patheon to Client pursuant to Section 2.2(c). |
(e) | No Material Breach. It shall not constitute a material breach of this Agreement by Patheon, for the purposes of Section 8.2(a), if the Actual Annual Yield is less that the Target Yield. |

3.4 | Minimum Orders. |
The quantity of Product ordered by Client from Patheon in each shipment must be equal to or greater than the Minimum Run Quantity set out in Schedule B; provided, however, that at Client’s request, the Minimum Run Quantity may be reduced, subject to adjustments in the price of Product under Section 5.3(a) below.
3.5 | Shipments. |
(a) | Shipments of Products shall be made EXW (as such term is defined in INCOTERMS 2000) Patheon’s shipping point unless otherwise mutually agreed. Risk of loss or of damage to Products shall remain with Patheon until Patheon loads the Products onto the carrier’s vehicle for shipment at the shipping point at which time risk of loss or damage shall transfer to the Client or Client’s designee, as applicable. Patheon shall, in accordance with the Client’s instructions and as agent for the Client, (i) arrange for shipping to be paid by the Client and (ii) at the Client’s risk and expense, obtain any export licence or other official authorization necessary to export the Products. The Client shall arrange for insurance and shall select the freight carrier used by Patheon to ship Products and may monitor Patheon’s shipping and freight practices as they pertain to this Agreement. Products shall be transported in accordance with the Specifications. |
(b) | Prior to shipping (or temporarily storing, if requested by the Client) any order, Patheon shall test each batch of Product manufactured under this Agreement. Patheon shall conduct all such testing in accordance with the procedures and using the analytical testing methodologies set forth in the Specifications, Schedule C and the Quality Agreement(s). Each time Patheon ships Products to the Client’s designee, it shall provide with each shipment: (i) a certificate of analysis and certificate of compliance including a statement that the shipped batch of Product has been manufactured and tested in accordance with Specifications, the Quality Agreement(s) and Applicable Laws, and, if requested by Client, completed batch production records; and (ii) the customs documentation corresponding to such shipment and such other documentation and information as may be necessary or desirable for complying with import, export and customs laws, regulations and like requirements, as applicable. The Client will have sole responsibility for the release of Products to the market. Patheon shall not ship any Product until Client has completed its final release of such Product and has given Patheon written notice to ship such Product, such notice not to exceed seven Business Days from Client’s receipt of release documents from Patheon. All Product shipped by Patheon, including its packaging, shall meet all applicable export and customs laws, regulations and like requirements for the United States. |

3.6 | Supply Failure. |
(a) | During the term of this Agreement in which Patheon, for any reason, except to the extent due to Client’s failure to supply Active Materials, including, without limitation, force majeure as defined in Section 13.7, fails to supply at least [***] of the quantities of Product in any two (2) consecutive calendar quarters in a Year pursuant to Firm Orders submitted by Client pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement within thirty (30) days of the dates specified in such Firm Orders in compliance with this Agreement, then such event shall be deemed a “Supply Failure.” |
(b) | In the event of a Supply Failure, Client’s obligation under Section 3.1 to purchase the Purchase Commitment of Product from Patheon shall terminate and Client shall be free to purchase any amount of Product from any third party for any purpose without restriction, subject to the terms of Section 3.6(c) below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.1 above (including the Purchase Commitment): (i) Client shall have the right, at any time, to qualify a third party manufacturer such that such third Party may manufacture and commercially supply Product to Client in the event of a Supply Failure; and (ii) as part of such qualification process, such third party may manufacture and supply for Client, at any time (including during the term of this Agreement), quantities of Product reasonably necessary for such qualification; provided, however, that, except as provided otherwise in this Section 3.6 in the event of a Supply Failure, for so long as the Purchase Commitment is in effect, Client shall only be allowed to sell (x) [***] of Product produced by such third party manufacturer, and (in addition to the amounts described in the foregoing part (x)) (y) annually, [***] of Product produced by such third party manufacturer. Patheon shall, at Client’s cost, cooperate with Client and assist in the transfer to Client of all legal and technical documents concerning Active Materials and Products, including master batch records, validation reports, stability reports and relevant manufacturer authorizations, existing retention samples and all such other documents and materials as may be reasonably necessary or useful for Client to source Products from other qualified third parties. Client shall reimburse Patheon for all of Patheon’s reasonable time, material and other costs associated with the qualification of a third party manufacturer. |
(c) | In the event that a Supply Failure occurs and such Supply Failure is the first Supply Failure to occur during the term of this Agreement, at the written request of Patheon, if Patheon has taken the necessary steps to ensure that a Supply Failure will not re-occur, the Parties shall discuss in good faith reinstating Client’s obligation under Section 3.1 to purchase the Purchase Commitment from Patheon. If the Parties mutually agree in good faith that Patheon has remedied the Supply |

Failure and has taken all steps necessary to ensure that a Supply Failure will not re-occur, Client’s obligation under Section 3.1 to purchase the Purchase Commitment from Patheon shall be reinstated, effective three (3) months following the date of such agreement (such effective date of reinstatement, the “Purchase Commitment Re-instatement Date”); provided, however, that, (i) the terms of such re-instated Purchase Commitment may be re-adjusted, as mutually agreed upon by the Parties, to increase the preparedness of Client in the event of a subsequent Supply Failure, including without limitation by initially providing for a smaller Purchase Commitment that increases over a period of Years to its original amount if there are no subsequent Supply Failures during such time; (ii) for the Year that the Client’s obligation to purchase the Purchase Commitment is re-instated, the Purchase Commitment shall be pro-rated to be only with respect to Client’s requirements for Products for the period commencing on the Purchase Commitment Re-Instatement Date and ending on the last day of such Year; and (iii) Client’s obligation to purchase the Purchase Commitment under Section 3.1 shall be subject to, and modified to the extent necessary to comply with, any obligations incurred by Client between the date of the Supply Failure and the date that the Parties agreed that the Purchase Commitment should be re-instated. |
3.7 | Components. |
(a) | Components List. Patheon agrees that it shall purchase each Component for use in the Manufacturing Services only from the supplier designated for such Component in the Components list attached hereto in Schedule B and which may be amended by Client from time to time (the “Components List”). Patheon agrees that it shall not amend the Components List or purchase a Component to be used in the Manufacturing Services from a supplier other than the supplier designated for such Component in the Components List without the prior written consent of the Client. The Components List shall be the Confidential Information of Client. |
(b) | Reliance by Patheon. Client understands that to ensure an orderly supply of Components to meet Client’s Firm Orders, it may be desirable for Patheon to purchase such Components in sufficient volumes to meet the production requirements for the amount of Product forecasted by Client for the first [***] in the most recent forecast provided by the Client pursuant to Section 3.3(a) or to meet the production requirements of any longer period agreed to by Patheon and the Client in writing. Accordingly, the Client authorizes Patheon to purchase the Components necessary to satisfy the production requirements for Products for the first [***] contemplated in the most recent forecast provided by the Client pursuant to Section 3.3(a) and agrees that Patheon may make such other purchases of Components to meet production requirements during such longer periods as may be agreed to in writing from time to time by the Client at the request of Patheon or the Client. |

(c) | Client’s Responsibility for Cost of Components. If Components ordered by Patheon in accordance with Section 3.7(b) become obsolete or otherwise no longer useable in the Manufacturing Services (including, without limitation due to technical changes in the Manufacturing Services pursuant to Section 5.4 below) or the Manufacturing Services are cancelled due to a termination of the Agreement by Patheon pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or 8.2(b) or by Client pursuant to Section 8.3, Patheon shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cover the cost of excess Components by: (i) returning such Components to the vendor, (ii) utilizing such Components in manufacturing products for its other customers to the extent possible, and (iii) implementing other measures to mitigate the loss due to such excess Components. To the extent that Patheon is unable to off-set such loss fully and such loss is due to; (x) a change in the Specifications pursuant to Section 5.7; or (y) the cancellation of the Manufacturing Services due to a termination of the Agreement by Patheon pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or 8.2(b) or by Client pursuant to Section 8.3; then in each of cases (x) and (y), the Client shall reimburse Patheon for such Components and its out of pocket expenses but solely to the extent actually incurred by Patheon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Client be obligated to reimburse Patheon for quantities of Components that are in excess of the amounts Patheon was authorized to purchase under Section 3.7(b). Such reimbursement from the Client shall be due, where applicable, within sixty (60) days of written notification from Patheon of its failure to cover the corresponding cost. |
(d) | Patheon’s Responsibility for Cost of Components. If Components expire or become obsolete or no longer useable in the Manufacturing Services because: (i) Patheon failed to manufacture and supply the quantities ordered by Client pursuant to a Firm Order, (ii) quantities of such Components are in excess of the amounts Patheon was authorized to purchase under Section 3.7(b) above or (iii) Patheon failed to store the Components as required by the Specifications, Patheon shall bear the cost of such Components. |
(e) | Exclusive Component Purchasing Summary. Patheon shall provide Client, initially upon execution of this Agreement and thereafter on an annual basis, with a listing of all Components which are unique to the Client, which Patheon anticipates purchasing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (in accordance with rolling forecasts and Firm Orders as per Section 3.3(a) and (b)) in the form as set out in Schedule J (the “Exclusive Component Purchasing Summary”). The Exclusive Components Purchasing Summary shall indicate which Components have a limited shelf-life and which are subject to minimum order quantities as specified by the supplier. |

3.8 | Patheon Audit Rights. |
During the period in which the Purchase Commitment is in force, upon no less than ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to the Client, Patheon shall have the right to inspect, through a mutually acceptable designee under obligations of confidentiality substantially similar to those in Article 11, the Client’s financial records pertaining to the Products in order to verify Client’s compliance with the Purchase Commitment; provided, however, that Patheon may conduct such inspections only during Client’s business hours and no more than once annually, and agrees that its inspection rights shall only extend to those of Client’s financial records that are necessary to review in order to verify Client’s compliance with the Purchase Commitment.
ARTICLE 4
CLIENT’S OBLIGATIONS
4.1 | Active Materials. |
Pursuant to Section 2.1(a) above, in the event Client has determined that it will supply Active Materials to Patheon, all shipments of Active Materials made by Client or its designee to Patheon hereunder will be delivered to Patheon DDP (Incoterms 2000). The Client shall at its sole cost and expense, deliver such Active Materials to Patheon in sufficient quantities and at such times to facilitate the provision of the Manufacturing Services by Patheon, which Active Materials shall be held by Patheon on behalf of the Client on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement (including without limitation the applicable terms of Section 2.1(a) above).
4.2 | Invoices and Payment. |
Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Client shall pay Patheon for the provision of the Manufacturing Services and the supply of Product according to the fees specified in Schedules B and C hereto (such fees being subject to adjustment, but only in accordance with Article 5 below). Patheon shall send an invoice to Client for each Firm Order upon the date of shipment of the Product that is the subject of such Firm Order (such invoice, an “Invoice”). Invoices shall be sent by fax or email to such fax number or email address as may be provided by the Client in writing from time to time. Patheon shall also submit to the Client, with each shipment of Products, a duplicate copy of the Invoice covering such shipment. Patheon shall include in each Invoice any Inventory or Components which are to be purchased by Patheon pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Each such Invoice shall, to the extent applicable, identify the Client Firm Order number, Product (or, if applicable, Components and/or Inventory) numbers, names and quantities, unit price, freight charges and the total amount to be remitted by the Client. The Client shall pay all such undisputed Invoices within thirty (30) days of the date of such Invoices, subject to the Client’s rights under Article 6. All taxes (and any related penalties or interest) imposed on any payment by Client to Patheon shall be the sole responsibility of Patheon.

ARTICLE 5
CONVERSION FEES AND COMPONENT COSTS
5.1 | First Year Pricing. |
The fees for the Manufacturing Services and the supply of Product (which fees include the Component costs set forth on the Components List) for the first Year are listed in Schedules B and C and are subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 5.3 below.
5.2 | Price Adjustments - Subsequent Years’ Pricing. |
(a) | On January 1 of each Year of this Agreement, Patheon shall be entitled to an adjustment to the fees (i) for Manufacturing Services in respect of the Products to reflect inflation, which adjustment shall be in the amount of [***] unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing; and (ii) [***] provided that the fees [***]. |
(b) |
In connection with a fee adjustment pursuant to clause (i) of Section 5.2(a), Patheon shall deliver to the Client by not later than November 1st of each Year a revised Schedule B for the following Year and a statement outlining the percentage increase in the [***], upon which such fee adjustment for the following Year is based. In connection with all fee adjustments pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 5.2(a), Patheon shall deliver to the Client by not later than November 1 st of each Year a revised Schedule B and such budgetary pricing information or other documentation reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that a fee adjustment is justified. Fee revisions under this Section 5.2 shall be effective with respect to any Product ordered after the end of the then current Year. |

[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. These portions have been omitted from this exhibit and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
5.3 | Price Adjustments - Current Year Pricing. |
During any Year of this Agreement, the fees set out in Schedule B shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the following:
(a) | Reduction in Minimum Run Quantity. If, pursuant to Section 3.4 above, Client requests that the Minimum Run Quantity for shipments of a Product ordered by Client be reduced and, as a result of such reduction, Patheon’s costs to manufacture such Product increase on a per unit basis, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith an increase in the fee for each such units of Product by an amount equal to the increase in Patheon’s costs to manufacture such units of Product. |
(b) | Volume Reduction. If at any time during a given Year, but no more than once in a given Year, Patheon determines, acting reasonably and based on the forecasts and Firm Orders received from the Client for such Year, that the total quantity of Product to be ordered by Client in such Year will constitute no more than [***] of the Annual Volume specified in Schedule B hereto for such Year or, if applicable, any revised Annual Volume for such Year hereinafter agreed to by the Parties, and, as a result of such reduction, Patheon’s costs to manufacture such Product would increase on a per unit basis, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith an increase in the fee for such units of Product by an amount equal to the increase in Patheon’s costs to manufacture such units of Product. To the extent that the fee for Manufacturing Services in respect of a Product has been previously adjusted pursuant to this Section 5.3(b) to reflect reduced volumes, the adjustment provided in this Section 5.3(b) shall operate based on the fees attributed to such Product at the time the last of such adjustments were made. In the event that, following an increase in the price of Products for a given Year pursuant to this Section 5.3(b), the aggregate purchases of Product by Client from Patheon for such Year are subsequently greater than or equal to [***] of the Annual Volume agreed to by the Parties for such Product for such Year, Patheon agrees to promptly reimburse Client the total of the additional amounts paid by Client to Patheon pursuant to the increase in the Product price under this Section 5.3(b) for such Year. It is understood that the Annual Volume listed in Schedule B is for use by the Parties in calculating adjustments to the price of Products in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.3(b), and shall not be construed as a minimum purchase obligation on the part of Client. |
(c) | No Overlap in Cost Accounting. The Parties agree that, for Product price increase calculations under Sections 5.3(a) and 5.3(b) above, to the extent that an increase in a Patheon cost was already accounted for in the calculation of the increase of the Product price under either Section 5.3(a) or 5.3(b), it shall not be accounted for in an increase of the Product price under the other section. For clarity, if, in a given Year, the Product price is increased under both Sections 5.3(a) and 5.3(b), to the extent an increased cost of Patheon has already been accounted for in one section, it shall not be accounted for in the other section. |

(d) | Extraordinary Increases in Component Costs. If at any time market conditions result in Patheon’s cost of Components being materially greater than the increases forecasted pursuant to Section 5.2(a) above, Patheon shall promptly notify Client in writing of such material increase, providing Client with a list of such Components and the amount of the increase in cost of each Component. For the purposes of this Section 5.3(d), for a particular Component or Component(s), changes materially greater than normal forecasted increases shall be considered to have occurred only if: (i) for a particular Component, the cost of a Component increases by [***] of the cost for that Component upon which the most recent fee quote was based; or (ii) for all Components, the aggregate cost for all Components required to manufacture a Product increases by [***] of the total Component costs for such Product upon which the most recent fee quote was based. To the extent that Component costs have been previously adjusted pursuant to Section 5.2(a) or this Section 5.3(d) to reflect an increase in the cost of one or more Components, the adjustments provided for in (i) and (ii) above shall operate based on the costs attributed to such Component (or Components) at the time the last of such adjustments were made. |
In connection with a fee adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.3, Patheon shall deliver to the Client a revised Schedule B (including an updated Components List) and such budgetary pricing information, adjusted Component costs and other documentation reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that a fee adjustment is justified. Such revised fee shall be effective for Firm Orders placed by Client following Client’s receipt of a revised Schedule B.
5.4 | Adjustments Due to Technical Changes. |
Patheon shall implement Client’s written amendments to the Specifications and/or the Quality Agreement(s), provided that the fees specified in Schedules B or C shall be revised as mutually agreed by the Parties in writing to reflect the increase or decrease in Patheon’s costs necessitated by any such amendment. Amendments to the Specifications, the Quality Agreement(s) or the Manufacturing Site or the Secondary Manufacturing Site requested by Patheon will only be implemented following the written approval of Client, which shall be in Client’s sole discretion. Fee changes made pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall become effective only with respect to those orders of Products that are manufactured in accordance with the revised Specifications. In addition, subject to Section 3.7(c), the Client agrees to purchase, at Patheon’s out-of-pocket costs therefor, all Inventory utilized under the “old” Specifications and purchased and maintained by Patheon in accordance with this Agreement and the Specifications, in order to fill Firm Orders and in accordance with Section 3.7(b), to the extent that such Inventory can no longer be utilized due to the revisions in the Specifications. Open purchase orders for Components no longer required under any revised Specifications that were placed by Patheon with suppliers in order to fill Firm Orders and in accordance with Section 3.7(b) shall be promptly cancelled where possible. Where such orders are not subject to cancellation without penalty, Patheon shall promptly provide Client notice of such orders and the amount of such penalty and, at Clients option, Client shall reimburse Patheon the amount of such penalty or, subject to Section 3.7(c), purchase such Components from Patheon.

ARTICLE 6
PRODUCT CLAIMS AND RECALLS
6.1 | Product Claims. |
(a) |
Product Claims. The Client has the right to reject any portion of any shipment of Products that deviates from the Specifications, cGMPs, the Quality Agreement(s) or Applicable Laws or the warranties given by Patheon in Section 9.3 and such rejection shall not invalidate any remainder of such shipment not rejected by Client. The Client or its designee shall inspect the Products manufactured by Patheon upon receipt thereof and shall give Patheon written notice (a “Deficiency Notice”) of all claims for Products that deviate from the Specifications, the Quality Agreement(s), cGMPs and Applicable Laws within [***] after the Client’s receipt thereof (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product (such defects, “Latent Defects”), within [***] after discovery thereof by the Client, but in no event after the expiration date of the Product). Should the Client fail to provide Patheon with the Deficiency Notice within the applicable [***], then the delivery shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Client on the [***] after delivery or Latent Defect discovery by Client, as applicable. Except as set out in Sections 6.2, 6.3 or 6.4, Patheon shall have no liability under this Section 6.1 for any deviations for which it has not received notice within the applicable [***] period. |
(b) | Determination of Deficiency. Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Patheon shall have [***] to advise the Client by notice in writing whether or not it disagrees with the contents of such Deficiency Notice. If the Client and Patheon fail to agree within [***] after Patheon’s notice to the Client as to whether any Products identified in the Deficiency Notice deviate from the Specifications, the Quality Agreement(s), cGMPs or Applicable Laws, then the Parties shall mutually select an independent laboratory to evaluate if such deviation exists. Such evaluation shall be binding on the Parties, and if such evaluation determines that any Products deviate from the Specifications, the Quality Agreement(s), cGMPs or Applicable Laws, then those Products shall be deemed to be properly rejected. If such evaluation results in a determination that there is no deviation in respect of any such Products, then the Client shall be deemed to have accepted delivery of such Products. |

(c) | Shortages. Subject to Section 3.6 above, claims for shortages in the amount of Products shipped by Patheon shall be dealt with as may reasonably be agreed to by the Parties. Without limiting Client’s rights under Section 3.6, in the event of a shortage in the amount of Products in a given shipment by Patheon, Patheon shall include such Products in the next shipment of Products ordered by Client. |
6.2 | Product Recalls and Returns. |
(a) | Records and Notice. Patheon and the Client shall each maintain such records as may be necessary to permit a Recall of any Products delivered to the Client or customers of the Client. Each Party shall promptly notify the other by telephone (to be confirmed in writing) of any information which might affect the marketability, safety or effectiveness of the Products and/or which might result in the Recall or seizure of the Products. Upon receiving any such notice or upon any such discovery, each Party shall cease and desist from further shipments of such Products in its possession or control until a decision by Client has been made whether a Recall or some other corrective action is necessary. The decision to initiate a Recall or to take some other corrective action, if any, shall be made and implemented by the Client. As used herein, “Recall” shall mean any action (i) by the Client to recover title to or possession of quantities of the Products sold or shipped to third parties (including, without limitation, the voluntary withdrawal of Products from the market); or (ii) by any Regulatory Authorities to detain or destroy any of the Products. Recall shall also include any action by either Party to refrain from selling or shipping quantities of the Products to third parties which would have been subject to a Recall if sold or shipped. |
(b) | Recalls. In the event (i) any governmental or regulatory authority issues a directive, order or, following the issuance of a safety warning or alert with respect to a Product, a written request that any Product be Recalled, (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction orders such a Recall, or (iii) the Client determines that any Product should be Recalled or that a “dear doctor” letter is required relating the restrictions on the use of any Product, Patheon will co-operate as reasonably required by the Client, having regard to all Applicable Laws. |
(c) | Product Returns. The Client shall have the responsibility for handling customer returns of the Products. |
6.3 | Patheons Responsibility for Defective and Recalled Products. |
(a) | Defective Product. In the event the Client rejects Products in accordance with Section 6.1 and Patheon agrees with Client’s rejection thereof or the Product is determined by a third-party laboratory pursuant to Section 6.1(b) above to deviate from the Specifications, the Quality Agreement(s), cGMPs or Applicable Laws, Patheon shall bear all third party laboratory reasonable testing costs with respect to such Product, if any, and shall promptly, at the Clients election, either: (i) refund the invoice price paid by Client for such defective Products; (ii) offset such |
- 23 -
TransOral Patheon MSA (Cincinnati and Whitby) – EXECUTION DRAFT
amount against other amounts due to Patheon hereunder; or (iii) replace such Products with conforming Products within the shortest possible time without the Client being liable for payment therefor, contingent upon the receipt from the Client of all Active Materials required for the manufacture of such replacement Products. For greater certainty, Patheon’s responsibility for any loss of Active Materials in connection with defective Product shall be captured and calculated in the Active Materials Yield under Section 2.2. |
(b) | Recalled Product. To the extent that a Recall or Product return results from, or arises out of, a failure by Patheon to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, the Quality Agreement(s), cGMPs or Applicable Laws, Patheon shall be responsible for the documented out-of-pocket expenses of such Recall or return and shall promptly, at Client’s election, either: (i) refund the invoice price paid by Client for such Products; (ii) offset such amounts against other amounts due to Patheon hereunder; or (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to replace the Recalled or returned Products with new Products without Client being liable for payment therefor, contingent upon Patheon’s possession or receipt from the Client of all Active Materials required for the manufacture of such replacement Products. For greater certainty, Patheon’s responsibility for any loss of Active Materials in connection with Recalled Product shall be captured and calculated in the Active Materials Yield under Section 2.2. To the extent that a Recall or return does not result from, or arise out of, a failure by Patheon to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, the Quality Agreement(s), cGMPs or Applicable Laws, Recalls, returns or other corrective actions shall be made at the Client’s cost and expense. |
6.4 | Disposition of Defective or Recalled Products. |
The Client shall not dispose of any damaged, defective, returned or Recalled Products in relation to which it intends to assert a claim against Patheon without Patheon’s prior written authorization to do so, unless otherwise required by Applicable Laws. Alternatively, Patheon may instruct the Client to return such Products to Patheon at Patheon’s expense. Patheon shall bear the cost of disposition with respect to any damaged, defective, returned or Recalled Products in relation to which it bears responsibility under Section 6.1, 6.2 or 6.3 hereof. In all other circumstances, the Client shall bear the cost of disposition with respect to any damaged, defective, returned or Recalled Products.
6.5 | Customer Questions and Complaints. |
The Client shall have the sole responsibility for responding to questions and complaints from the Client’s customers. Questions or complaints received by Patheon from the Client’s customers shall be promptly referred to the Client. Patheon shall co-operate as reasonably required to allow the Client to determine the cause of and resolve any customer
- 24 -
TransOral Patheon MSA (Cincinnati and Whitby) – EXECUTION DRAFT
questions and complaints. Such assistance shall include follow-up investigations, including testing. In addition, Patheon shall provide the Client with all mutually agreed upon information that will enable the Client to respond properly to questions or complaints relating to the Products as provided in the Quality Agreement(s). Unless it is determined that the cause of any customer complaint resulted from a failure by Patheon to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, the Quality Agreement(s), cGMPs or Applicable Laws, all costs incurred in respect of this Section 6.5 shall be borne by the Client.
6.6 | Sole Remedy. |
Except for the remedies provided in Sections 2.2, 3.6 and 10.3, and subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 10.1 and 10.2, the remedies described in this Article 6 shall be the Client’s sole remedy for any failure by Patheon to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, the Quality Agreement(s), cGMPs and Applicable Laws.

In the event that a Party makes a disclosure of the terms of this Agreement deemed necessary under applicable federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation of a nationally recognized securities exchange, the Party shall use good faith efforts to obtain confidential treatment for the disclosure to the extent available. The Party making such a disclosure shall provide the other Party with reasonable advance written notice of its intent to make such a disclosure and shall provide the other Party the opportunity to comment on any confidential treatment requested prior to the submission.

ARTICLE 12
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
12.1 | Commercial Disputes. |
In the event of any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (other than a dispute determined in accordance with Section 6.1(b) or a Technical Dispute), the Parties shall first try to solve it amicably. In this regard, any Party may send a notice of dispute to the other, and each Party shall appoint, within [***] from receipt of such notice of dispute, a single representative having full power and authority to solve the dispute. The representatives so designated shall meet as necessary in order to solve such dispute. If these representatives fail to solve the matter within [***] from their appointment, or if a Party fails to appoint a representative within the [***] period set forth above, such dispute shall immediately be referred to the Chief Operating Officer or Executive Vice President, Operations (or such other officer as they may designate) of each Party who will meet and discuss as necessary in order to try to solve the dispute amicably. Should the Parties fail to reach a resolution under this Section 12.1, the dispute will be finally settled by binding arbitration in New York City, New York under the then current rules of the American Arbitration Association by one (1) arbitrator appointed in accordance with such rules. The arbitrator may grant injunctive or other relief in such dispute or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties agree that, any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, they will not request and the arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive or exemplary damages against either Party. The costs of the arbitration, including administrative and arbitrators fees, shall be shared equally by the Parties. Each Party shall bear the cost of its own attorneys’ fees and expert witness fees. Nothing in this Section shall preclude either Party from seeking interim or provisional relief in the form of a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim relief concerning a dispute prior to or during an arbitration pursuant to this Section necessary to protect the interests of such Party.
12.2 | Technical Dispute Resolution. |
In the event of a dispute (other than disputes in relation to the matters set out in Sections 6.1(b) and 12.1) between the Parties that is exclusively related to technical aspects of the manufacturing, packaging, labelling, quality control testing, handling, storage or other activities under this Agreement (a “Technical Dispute”), the Parties shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute by amicable negotiations. In this regard, senior representatives of each Party shall, as soon as practicable and in any event no later than [***] after a written request from either Party to the other, meet in good faith to resolve any Technical Dispute. If, despite such meeting, the Parties are unable to resolve a Technical Dispute within a reasonable time, and in any event within [***] of such written request, the Technical Dispute shall, at the request of either Party, be referred for determination to an expert in accordance with the provisions of Schedule F. In the event that the Parties cannot agree

For greater certainty, the Parties agree that the release of the Products for sale or distribution pursuant to the applicable marketing approval for such Products shall not by itself indicate compliance by Patheon with its obligations in respect of the Manufacturing Services and further that nothing in this Agreement (including Schedule F) shall remove or limit the authority of the relevant qualified person (as specified by the Quality Agreement(s)) to determine whether the Products are to be released for sale or distribution.

SCHEDULE F
TECHNICAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Technical Disputes which cannot be resolved by negotiation as provided in Section 12.2 shall be resolved in the following matter:
1. Appointment of Expert. Within 10 Business Days after a Party requests pursuant to Section 12.2 that an expert be appointed to resolve a Technical Dispute, the Parties shall jointly appoint a mutually acceptable expert with experience and expertise in the subject matter of the dispute. If the Parties are unable to so agree within such ten (10) Business Day period, or in the event of disclosure of a conflict by an expert pursuant to paragraph 2 hereof which results in the Parties not confirming the appointment of such expert, then an expert (willing to act in that capacity hereunder) shall be appointed by an experienced arbitrator on the roster of the American Arbitration Association.
2. Arbitration. The expert appointed in accordance with paragraph 1 above shall settle Technical Disputes finally by binding arbitration in New York City, New York under the then current rules of the American Arbitration Association and conducted in accordance with this Schedule F. The decision of the expert shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the expert’s decision in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Schedule F, nothing in this Schedule F shall preclude either Party from seeking interim or provisional relief in the form of a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim relief concerning a dispute prior to or during an arbitration pursuant to this Schedule F necessary to protect the interests of such Party.
3. Conflicts of Interest. Any person appointed as an expert shall be entitled to act and continue to act as such notwithstanding that at the time of his appointment or at any time before he gives his determination, he has or may have some interest or duty which conflicts or may conflict with his appointment provided that before accepting such appointment (or as soon as practicable after he becomes aware of the conflict or potential conflict) he fully discloses any such interest or duty and the Parties shall after such disclosure have confirmed his appointment.
4. Procedure. Where an expert is appointed:
(a) | Timing. The expert shall be so appointed on condition that (i) he promptly fixes a reasonable time and place for receiving representations, submissions or information from the Parties and that he issues such authorizations to the Parties and any relevant third party for the proper conduct of his determination and any hearing and (ii) he renders his decision (with full reasons) within fifteen (15) Business Days (or such other date as the Parties and the expert may agree) after receipt of all information requested by him pursuant to paragraph 4(b) hereof. |
TransOral Patheon MSA (Cincinnati and Whitby) – EXECUTION DRAFT
(b) | Disclosure of Evidence. The Parties undertake one to the other to provide to any expert all such evidence and information within their respective possession or control as the expert may reasonably consider necessary for determining the matter before him which they shall disclose promptly and in any event within five (5) Business Days of a written request from the relevant expert to do so. |
(c) | Advisors. Each Party may appoint such counsel, consultants and advisors as it feels appropriate to assist the expert in his determination and so as to present their respective cases so that at all times the Parties shall co-operate and seek to narrow and limit the issues to be determined. |
(d) | Appointment of New Expert. If within the time specified in paragraph 4(a) above the expert shall not have rendered a decision in accordance with his appointment, a new expert may (at the request of either Party) be appointed and the appointment of the existing expert shall thereupon cease for the purposes of determining the matter at issue between the Parties save that if the existing expert renders his decision with full reasons prior to the appointment of the new expert, then such a decision shall have effect and the proposed appointment of the new expert shall be withdrawn. |
(e) | Final and Binding. The determination of the expert shall, save in the event of fraud or manifest error, be final and binding upon the Parties. |
(f) | Costs. Each Party shall bear its own costs in connection with any matter referred to an expert hereunder and, in the absence of express provision in the Agreement to the contrary, the costs and expenses of the expert shall be shared equally by the Parties. |
For greater certainty, the Parties agree that the release of the Products for sale or distribution pursuant to the applicable marketing approval for such Products shall not by itself indicate compliance by Patheon with its obligations in respect of the Manufacturing Services and further that nothing in this Agreement (including this Schedule F) shall remove or limit the authority of the relevant qualified person (as specified by the Quality Agreement(s)) to determine whether the Products are to be released for sale or distribution.
