The Client shall provide Patheon with a written non-binding [ * ] forecast of the volume of each Product that the Client then anticipates will be required to be produced and delivered to the Client during each [ * ] of that [ * ] period. Such forecast will be updated by the Client [ * ] on or before the [ * ] day of each [ * ] on a rolling [ * ] basis. The most recent [ * ] forecast shall prevail.
(b) Firm Orders. On or before the [ * ] day of each [ * ] the Client shall issue firm written orders ("Firm Orders") for the Product from time to time at Client’s discretion to be produced and delivered to the Client on a date not less than [ * ] from the [ * ] the date that the Firm Order is submitted. Such Firm Orders submitted to Patheon shall specify the Client's purchase order number, quantities by Product, type of packaging, delivery schedule and any other elements necessary to ensure the timely production and shipment of the Product. The quantities of Product ordered in such written orders shall be firm and binding on the Client. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the availability of required Components, Patheon will permit amendments and substitutions to Firm Orders issued by the Client upon prior written notice to Patheon in respect of Product packaging; provided, however no amendments or substitutions will be accepted by Patheon once [ * ], as the case may be, has commenced.
(c) Acceptance. Firm Orders placed with Patheon by the Client pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.1(b) shall be acknowledged by Patheon in writing within [ * ] days of receipt thereof. Patheon will [ * ] ensure that all Product ordered by the Client in accordance with this Agreement will be shipped in accordance with the delivery dates specified in the Client’s purchase order but in no event shall the [ * ] delivery date be [ * ] from the [ * ], and Patheon will notify the Client promptly of any significant anticipated delay no later than [ * ] prior to such delivery date.
5.2 Reliance by Patheon.
The Client understands and acknowledges that Patheon will rely on the Firm Orders and rolling forecasts submitted pursuant to Sections 5.1(a) and (b) in ordering the Components required to meet such Firm Orders. In addition, the Client understands that to ensure an orderly supply of such Components, it may be desirable for Patheon to purchase such Components in sufficient volumes to meet the production requirements for Product during [ * ] of the forecasted periods referred to in Section 5.1(a) or to meet the production requirements of any longer period agreed in writing to by Patheon and the

Client. Accordingly, the Client authorizes Patheon to purchase Components in order to satisfy the production requirements for Product for the first [ * ] contemplated in the most recent forecast provided by the Client pursuant to Section 5.1(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. If Components ordered by Patheon pursuant to Firm Orders under this Section 5.2 are not included in finished Product purchased by the Client within [ * ] after the date of the Firm Order in respect of which such purchases have been made (or such longer period as the parties may agree) or if such Components have expired during such period, then [ * ]; provided, however, that in the event such Components are incorporated into Product subsequently purchased by the Client or into third party products manufactured by Patheon and subsequently purchased by a third party, the [ * ] of such Components [ * ].
Patheon shall provide Client, initially upon execution of this Agreement and thereafter on an annual basis, with a listing of all Components which Patheon anticipates purchasing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in the form set out in Schedule J (the "Components Purchasing Summary"). Patheon will advise the Client in writing which Components have a limited shelf-life and which are subject to minimum order quantities specified by the supplier. [ * ] for the [ * ] Components [ * ] purchased by Patheon in accordance with the terms of this Agreement but not used to perform the Manufacturing Services prior to the expiry of the Component’s shelf life, so long as such Components have expiration dating of at least [ * ] from the date of purchase by Patheon. If Patheon is able to use such Components in activities other than the Manufacturing Services, Patheon will [ * ] the Client any [ * ] for such Components.
5.3 Minimum Orders.
The Client may only order Product in multiples of the Minimum Run Quantities set out in Schedule B.
5.4 Shipments.
Shipments of Product shall be made [ * ] (as such term is defined in INCOTERMS 2000) Patheon’s shipping point unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the parties. Risk of loss or of damage to Product shall remain with Patheon until [ * ] at which time risk of loss or damage shall transfer to the Client. 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 Product from the US. The Client shall arrange for insurance and shall select the freight carrier used by Patheon to ship Product and may monitor Patheon’s shipping and freight practices as they pertain to this Agreement. Product shall be transported in accordance with the Specifications and other applicable Laws.

5.5 Invoices and Payment.
Invoices shall be sent by fax or e-mail to such fax number or e-mail address as may be provided by the Client in writing from time to time but no earlier than [ * ]; provided, however, that if Client requests Patheon to hold or store Bulk Product or Fully Packaged Product for more than [ * ] after completion of the applicable Manufacturing Services, Patheon may invoice Client for any such Product [ * ]. Patheon shall also submit to the Client, with each shipment of Product, a duplicate copy of the invoice covering such shipment. Patheon shall also provide the Client with an invoice covering [ * ] pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and, in accordance with Section [ * ]. Each such invoice shall, to the extent applicable, identify the Client purchase order number, Product numbers, names and quantities, unit price, freight charges and the total amount to be remitted by the Client. The Client shall pay all such invoices within thirty (30) days of the date thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Client may withhold any amounts invoiced by Patheon that it disputes. If the Client disputes any invoice, the Client shall within [ * ] after such invoice is furnished to it notify Patheon that it disputes the accuracy or appropriateness of such invoice and specify the particular respects in which such invoice is inaccurate or inappropriate. The Client and Patheon will make good faith efforts to resolve any disputes within [ * ] thereafter. Any amounts that are disputed by the Client shall not be due until [ * ] following the resolution of such dispute.
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 Product that deviates from the Specifications or cGMPs, without invalidating any remainder of such shipment. The Client or its designee shall inspect the Product manufactured by Patheon upon receipt thereof and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to give Patheon written notice (a "Deficiency Notice") of all claims for Product that deviate from the Specifications or cGMPs within [ * ] after the Client’s or its designee’s receipt thereof (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, 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 period described above, then the delivery shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Client on the day after the end of the period described above.
(b) Determination of Deficiency. Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Patheon shall have [ * ] to advise the Client by notice in writing that 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 Product identified in the Deficiency Notice deviates from the Specifications or cGMPs, then the parties shall mutually select a laboratory to evaluate if the Product deviates from the Specifications or cGMPs. Such evaluation shall be binding on the parties, and if such evaluation certifies that any Product deviates

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
from the Specifications or cGMPs, the Client may reject such Product in the manner contemplated in this Section 6.1. If such evaluation does not so certify in respect of any such Product, then the Client shall be deemed to have accepted delivery of such Product on the [ * ] day after delivery (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, on the [ * ] day after discovery thereof by the Client, but in no event after the expiration date of the Product).
(c) Patheon Responsibility. In the event the Client rejects Product in accordance with this Section 6.1, and the deviation is determined to arise from Patheon’s failure to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with Specifications or cGMPs, Patheon will credit the Client’s account for Patheon’s invoice price to the Client for such defective Product. If the Client shall have previously paid for such defective Product, Patheon shall promptly, at the Client’s election, either: (i) refund the invoice price for such defective Product; (ii) offset such amount against other amounts due to Patheon hereunder; or (iii) replace such Product with conforming Product without the Client being liable for payment therefor under Section 3.1, contingent upon the receipt from the Client of all Active Material required for the manufacture of such replacement Product. Subject to the conditions and limitations set out in Section 10.2, Patheon shall be responsible for paying for any Active Material used for the rejected Product under this Section 6.1(c).
(d) Shortages. In the event of a shortage of Product in any shipment by Patheon, at the Client’s election, Patheon shall [ * ] to make up the shortage [ * ]; provided, however, that if the shortage is more than [ * ]% of the quantity ordered [ * ], Patheon will [ * ] to make up the shortage [ * ] after the shortage is reported to Patheon, but no later than [ * ] thereafter, if so requested by the Client, on the following terms: (i) Patheon will manufacture Product in increments of any Minimum Run Quantity listed on Schedule B as determined by the Client and (ii) the [ * ] such Product will equal the [ * ] set forth on [ * ] without regard to [ * ].
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 Product 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 Product and/or which might result in the Recall or seizure of the Product. Upon receiving any such notice or upon any such discovery, each party shall cease and desist from further shipments of such Product in its possession or control until a decision 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. For purposes of this Agreement, "Recall" shall mean any action (i) by the Client to recover title to or possession of quantities of the Product sold or shipped to third parties (including, without limitation, the voluntary withdrawal of Product from the market); or (ii) by any regulatory authorities to detain or destroy any of the Product. Recall shall also include any action by either party to refrain from selling or shipping quantities of the Product 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 coordinating customer returns of the Product. Patheon shall provide the Client with such assistance as the Client may reasonably require to coordinate Product returns.
(d) Patheon's Responsibility. To the extent that a Recall or return results from, or arises out of, a failure by Patheon to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications and cGMPs, Patheon shall be responsible for the documented out-of-pocket expenses of such Recall or return and shall [ * ] to replace the Recalled or returned Product with new Product, contingent upon the receipt of all Active Materials required for the manufacture of such replacement Product. In the event that Patheon is unable to replace the Recalled or returned Product (except where such inability results from a failure to receive the required Active Materials due to the fault of Client), then at Client’s request, Patheon will reimburse the Client for the price that the Client paid to Patheon for manufacturing the affected Product. In either case, subject to the conditions and limitations set out in Section 10.2, Patheon shall pay all costs related to the Active Materials required for the manufacture of replacement Product. In all other circumstances, Recalls, returns or other corrective actions shall be made at the Client's cost and expense.
(e) Patheon will be responsible for investigating all Recalls and returns (other than as a result of the expiration of such Product) resulting from Patheon’s failure to manufacture the Product in accordance with the Specifications and cGMPs, at its own expense, and Patheon will promptly report to the Client in writing the results of any such investigation.
6.3 Disposition of Defective or Recalled Product.
The Client shall not dispose of any damaged, defective, returned or Recalled Product in relation to which it intends to assert a claim against Patheon without Patheon’s prior written authorization to do so. Alternatively, Patheon may instruct the Client to return such Product to Patheon at Patheon’s expense, provided that Client will reimburse Patheon for the cost of such shipping if it is determined that Patheon does not bear any liability for such damaged, defective, returned or Recalled Product. Patheon shall bear the cost of disposition with respect to any damaged, defective, returned or Recalled Product in relation to which it bears responsibility under Section 6.1 or 6.2 hereof. In all other circumstances, the Client shall bear the cost of disposition with respect to any damaged, defective, returned or Recalled Product.

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 questions and complaints. Such assistance shall include follow-up investigations, including testing. In addition, within ten (10) days from the date of request, Patheon shall provide the Client with all necessary information in Patheon’s possession or control that will enable the Client to respond properly to questions or complaints relating to the Product. If 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 and cGMPs and any additional procedures agreed upon in writing by Patheon and the Client, or a breach of this Agreement by Patheon, all costs incurred in respect of this Section 6.4 shall be borne by Patheon. In all other circumstances, the Client shall bear the cost incurred with respect to this Section 6.4.
6.5 Sole Remedy.
Except for the indemnity provided in Section 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, cGMPs, Applicable Laws or any additional procedures agreed upon in writing by the Client and Patheon.

7.3 Records and Accounting by Patheon.
Patheon shall keep records of the manufacture, testing and shipping of the Product, and retain samples of such Product as are necessary to comply with the Specifications and all manufacturing regulatory requirements and Laws applicable to Patheon, as well as to assist with resolving Product complaints and other similar investigations. Copies of such records and samples shall be retained for a period of [ * ] following the date of Product expiry, or longer if required by Law, after which Patheon may destroy such records or samples; provided, however, Patheon shall notify the Client in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to such destruction and shall retain or deliver such records or samples to the Client, at the Client’s option and expense, if the Client so requests.

7.5 Access.
Patheon shall provide the Client with reasonable access at mutually agreeable times to its Manufacturing Site in which the Product is manufactured, stored, handled or shipped in order to permit the Client's verification of Patheon's compliance with the Patheon Manufacturing Responsibilities and with all applicable Laws. Patheon agrees to permit the Client to review Patheon’s standard operating procedures for the manufacture of the Product and those associated with the general facilities, equipment, or procedures required for compliance with cGMPs or DEA requirements. For greater certainty, the right of access provided in this Section 7.5 shall not include a right to access or inspect Patheon’s financial records. Patheon shall [ * ] obtain the right for the Client to have similar inspection rights with respect to all third party suppliers used by Patheon to provide the Components. If deficiencies are found by the Client during the course of such inspections, the parties will promptly meet to discuss and resolve them, and the Client will be entitled to make reasonable follow up inspections to monitor correction of the deficiencies. Patheon shall notify the Client of any inspections by, or communications with, any governmental agency involving the Product. Patheon shall furnish to the Client all material information supplied to, or supplied by, such regulatory Authority or third party supplier to the extent that such report relates to Product, or the ability of Patheon to supply such Product, within three (3) Business Days of their receipt of such information or delivery of such information, as the case may be.

shall appoint, within [ * ] Business Days from receipt of such notice of dispute, a single representative having full power and authority to solve the dispute.
