Exhibit 10.1
[***] Certain information in this document has been excluded pursuant to Regulation S-K, Item 601(b)(10). Such excluded information is both not material and is the type that the Registrant treats as private or confidential.
This Supply Agreement Addendum (the “Addendum”), is entered into by and between Fagron Compounding Services, LLC d/b/a Fagron Sterile Services (“FSS” or “Purchaser”), US Compounding, Inc. (“USC”) and Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“Owner”), and is entered into in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into by the Parties contemporaneously herewith (the “Sales Agreement”).
WHEREAS, the Parties have entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement contemporaneously herewith;
WHEREAS, on and after the Effective Date, Purchaser may not be willing or able to manufacture all products that USC sold to the Book of Business Customers prior to the Effective Date;
WHEREAS, Purchaser wishes to have USC fill orders that it gets from Book of Business Customers for certain products, as listed in Exhibit E-1 hereto (such products, the “Products”), during the 90 (ninety) day period (or such extended period, as may be mutually agreed by the Parties in writing, including in connection with Section 3.2 herein) following the Effective Date (the “Transition Period”), in order to provide Purchaser time to transition to replacement offerings;
WHEREAS, USC wishes to sell such Products, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, in order to enable Purchaser to fulfill orders for Products from the Book of Business Customers during the Transition Period; and
WHEREAS, Purchaser and USC agree that the sale of the Products are regulated by the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act, and regulations of the Federal Food and Drug Administration (“FDA,” and such laws being referred to as “Good Manufacturing Practices” or “cGMP”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, and conditions contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I CERTAIN DEFINITIONS
1.1 General. Any capitalized term used but not defined herein will have the meaning set forth in the Sales Agreement.
1.2 “Specifications” means the procedures, requirements, formulae and standards related to Products, and as stated in Exhibit E-1.
ARTICLE II OBLIGATIONS OF USC
Subject to the limitations and conditions of this Addendum and the Sales Agreement, during the Transition Period, USC will:
2.1 Promptly fill orders for Products from Customers in the Book of Business, as relayed to USC by Purchaser, at the price per Product set forth in Exhibit E-1. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall never take possession or ownership of the Products. USC shall ship Products directly to customers, and shall have sole responsibility for all regulatory compliance requirements relating to the Products unless specifically otherwise agreed to by the Parties. Orders for Products to Customers will be shipped on or before the second business day following the date on which they are received, provided that USC is provided all required information. Standard shipping costs are included in the prices listed in Exhibit E-1.
2.2 Provide Products which conform, in all material respects, to the Specifications and are consistent, in all material respects, with the products that USC supplied to Customers prior to the Effective Date.
2.3 Have in stock, as of the Effective Date, the minimum inventory of each Product set forth opposite the name of such Product on Exhibit E-1, with sufficient shelf life to be saleable during the Transition Period. For the avoidance of doubt, USC is not under any obligation to manufacture additional quantities of any Product after the inventory set forth on Exhibit E-1 has been sold pursuant to this Addendum. However, while Purchaser is not obligated to make sales to consume the quantities of Products specified on Exhibit E-1, Purchaser agrees to use its best efforts to make sufficient sales during the Transition Period to consume the quantities of Products specified on Exhibit E-1.
2.4 Invoice Purchaser on a monthly basis, based on the pricing set forth on Exhibit E-1, which is fair market value in an arm's-length transaction, consistent with the general market value of the subject transaction, for all Products ordered by Customers during the Transition Period which were fulfilled by USC, and maintain appropriate records to support all invoices. For the avoidance of doubt, the monthly invoice for sales of Products during the last month of the Transition Period shall be provided promptly following the expiration of the Transition Period.
2.5 Handle all customer inquiries, complaints, adverse event investigation and reporting, and recalls or market withdrawals relating to orders filled by USC.
2.6 Reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to (i) resolve any disputes with Customers and (ii) ensure a high-quality Customer experience.
2.7 At all times operate, in all material respects, in compliance with all applicable laws relating to the sales of Products, including cGMP.
ARTICLE III OBLIGATIONS OF PURCHASER
Subject to the limitations and conditions of this Addendum and the Sales Agreement, during the Transition Period, Purchaser will:
3.1 Where it does not make a Product that would satisfy a Customer in the Book of
Business and such Customer wishes to order a Product, Purchaser will relay orders from Customers in the Book of Business to USC during the Transition Period. Such relayed orders will include all information necessary for USC to properly fill the orders. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the accuracy of information related to orders for Products from Customers pursuant to this Addendum.
3.2 For any Products that Purchaser does not begin manufacturing during the Transition Period, but Book of Business Customers continue to order, Purchaser shall continue to relay such orders to USC until the minimum inventory listed in Exhibit E-1 is exhausted or is no longer salable for any reason, including insufficient shelf life for individual Products.
3.3 Handle all customer inquiries and complaints relating to orders for Products filled by Purchaser and not dispensed under UCS’s label.
3.4 Pay USC, in immediately available funds, for all invoices delivered by USC to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.4 herein. All payments shall be due within thirty (30) days of USC invoicing Purchaser for such deliveries.
ARTICLE IV COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
4.1 The Parties intend for this Addendum to comply with all applicable laws. Should any of the Parties reasonably conclude that any portion of this Addendum does not comply with any applicable law or regulation, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to modify as appropriate to ensure legal compliance. Should the Parties fail to reach a mutually agreeable resolution which brings this Addendum into compliance with applicable laws and regulations, this Addendum shall be deemed automatically terminated upon such failure, and all amounts due to USC for orders fulfilled prior to such termination shall become immediately due and payable.
ARTICLE V PATENTS & INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
5.1 The trademarks, patents and other intellectual property of each of the Parties prior to the Effective Date shall remain the property of the respective owners of such intellectual property and nothing herein shall be construed so as to transfer ownership of any such intellectual property from the owner of the same prior to the Effective Date.
ARTICLE VI USC'S WARRANTY
6.1 Compliance with Specifications. USC warrants that the Products will be in material compliance with the Specifications and the other provisions of this Addendum respecting quality and cGMP and any other applicable law or regulatory requirement (including as it relates to the adulteration or misbranding of Products, as those terms are defined by the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended, and regulations issued thereunder) at the time such Products are delivered to a common carrier for shipment to Book of Business Customers.
6.2 USC warrants that all goods delivered hereunder shall be merchantable, fit for their intended purpose and free from defects, whether latent or apparent. USC warrants that all services performed hereunder shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner by qualified, trained personnel, free from material errors.

7.3 Each Party hereby waives, acknowledges and agrees that it shall not have and shall not exercise or assert, any right of indemnity or other right or remedy under the terms of this Addendum against any other Party in connection with any right of indemnity or other right or remedy brought against such other Party under the terms of the Sales Agreement.
7.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Party shall be liable, whether in contract, in tort (including negligence and strict liability), in connection with the indemnification obligations in this Article VII or otherwise, for any special, indirect, punitive, exemplary, incidental or consequential damages whatsoever which in any way arise out of this Addendum.
ARTICLE VIII INSURANCE
8.1 USC shall obtain and maintain product liability insurance covering the Products with policy limits of not less than $2,000,000 and shall maintain such insurance for four years after shipment of the Product pursuant to this Addendum, which coverage may be satisfied through tail coverage.

In the event of any inconsistency between this Addendum and the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agreement shall control.
10.2 No Strict Construction. The Parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Addendum. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Addendum shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party hereto by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Addendum.
10.3 Assignment. The obligations of the Parties hereunder shall not be assignable except with the written consent of the other Parties.
10.4 Independent Status. This Addendum shall not be construed as forming a partnership, joint venture or similar relationship between any of the Parties.

10.5 Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable to the other for failure to perform any part of this Addendum if such failure results from an act of God, war, terrorism, revolt, revolution, sabotage, actions of a governmental entity, laws, regulations, embargo, fire, strike, other labor trouble, endemic, insolvency or other financial difficulty of any manufacturer or any cause beyond a party's control. Upon the occurrence of any such event which results in, or will result in, delay or failure to perform according to the terms of this Addendum, the impacted party will promptly give notice to the other party of such occurrence and the effect and/or anticipated effect of such occurrence.

USC shall have the right to shut down temporarily, for routine maintenance purposes, the operation of the facilities providing any services pursuant to this Addendum whenever, in its reasonable judgement, such action is necessary; provided, however, that such shut down shall not materially adversely and unduly affect Purchaser. USC shall be relieved of its obligations to provide services pursuant to this Addendum only for the period of time that its facilities are so shut down but shall use diligent and commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any such shutdown.
