10.5    If the Recipient Party or any of its Permitted Recipients is/are compelled to disclose any Confidential Information in the circumstances described in Clause 10.3 of this Agreement or a breach or threatened breach of this Clause 10 occurs or becomes apparent, the Recipient Party shall inform the Disclosing Party in writing of such obligation or fact as soon as possible after it is informed, or becomes aware, of it and if possible, before any Confidential Information is disclosed, so that (if the Disclosing Party in its absolute discretion shall see fit) a protective order or other appropriate remedy may be sought. The Recipient

Party agrees to assist and co-operate (and shall procure that each of its Permitted Recipients shall, as appropriate, assist and co-operate) in any action which the Disclosing Party may decide to take.

10.6    Each Party shall be permitted to disclose the terms of this Agreement, in each case under appropriate confidentiality provisions substantially equivalent to those of this Agreement, to any actual or potential acquirers, merger partners, licensees, sublicensees, investors and professional advisors on a need to know basis and to its board of directors in connection with the corporate governance of such Party. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement (including this Clause 10.6) or otherwise required by law or administrative authorities, neither Customer nor CMC shall disclose any terms or conditions of the Agreement to any Third Party without the prior written consent of the other Party.

10.7    At the request of the Disclosing Party, the Recipient Party shall promptly destroy (on request) or return to the Disclosing Party any and all Confidential Information (including copies of documents, computer records and records on all other media) then in its possession or under its control except where such Confidential Information is covered under surviving license rights between the Parties.

The Parties hereby agree that Confidential Information received under those earlier agreements may be used for the purposes of performing the Services under this Agreement or exercising rights under this Agreement.

10.9    The provisions of this Clause 10 shall survive expiration or termination of the Agreement for a period of 10 years.

10.10    For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Clause 10 do not restrict the Customer’s right to disclose or otherwise deal with the Deliverables after such Deliverables have been Delivered to the Customer.

11.    INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Pre-Existing Intellectual Property
11.1    Any Intellectual Property owned by a Party or licensed by a Third Party to a Party as of the Effective Date or before the commencement of the Services (“Pre-Existing IPR”) shall remain the sole and absolute property of the Party that owned or was licensed to use such Pre-Existing IPR. Nothing in this Agreement shall act as any assignment or transfer of the Pre-Existing IPR. The Pre-Existing IPR shall not be licensed to the other Party under this Agreement unless an express license is granted hereunder.

Customer's grant of Intellectual Property License for the Services
11.2    The Customer hereby grants to CMC for the Term a non-exclusive, royalty-free, non- sublicensable (except to CMC’s Affiliates performing Services in accordance with this Agreement), limited license in respect of Customer Intellectual Property Rights and Customer Agreement IPR solely to the extent the same is required and necessary for the proper performance of the Services. This license:

11.2.1    does not prevent the Customer from granting a license to or making any use of its Pre-Existing IPR; and

11.2.2    terminates automatically upon the expiry or termination of this Agreement, whichever is the earlier.

Intellectual Property created in the course of the Services
11.3    Without affecting Clauses 11.1 and 11.2, all data, results, information, processes, materials, trade secrets, know-how and corresponding Intellectual Property newly generated by CMC exclusively in its performance of the Services and which [***] shall

License to CMC IPR

Except to Permitted Recipients or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, nothing in the foregoing shall permit Customer to make any disclosure of Confidential Information or CMC's Know-How to a Third Party without the express prior written consent of CMC. This license does not prevent CMC granting a license to or making any use of CMC Intellectual Property Rights or CMC Agreement IPR.

Right to file for protection
11.6    Each Party may file patent protection on any Intellectual Property it owns in accordance with this Clause 11 above and the other Party shall promptly upon request co-operate at the requesting Party’s reasonable expense, with any requests to assist or enable the Party’s protection including but not limited to signing and delivering documents and other information necessary for the valid application and prosecution of any such patent.

In addition, Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CMC from and against any Losses arising out of contamination or damage to the CMC Facility to the extent caused by the Customer Materials except to the extent such Losses are caused by the Customer Materials not being handled in accordance with the Materials and Safety Data Sheet. The foregoing indemnities shall not apply to the extent the Losses or Claims arose from CMC's or any of its representatives or contractors (including Testing Laboratories) negligence, gross negligence, breach of this Agreement, or wilful misconduct (other than wilful infringement covered by Section 12.1.1) or are covered by an indemnity under Clause 12.2.

Customer’s Indemnity

12.3.2    not prejudice any defence to any Claim or attempt to settle or compromise such claim;

12.3.3    shall comply with the procedure in Clause 12.3.1 except that nothing shall prevent it from complying with the procedural requirement of any proceedings which have been commenced;

12.5    In the event of a claim under Clause 12.1.1 or 12.2.3, the Parties shall promptly and in good faith discuss ways, whether by modifications to the Services or Product, licensing or otherwise, to settle or overcome the Claim.

12.6    In the event that Customer challenges its obligation to indemnify the CMC Parties for a Claim arising under Clause 12.1.1, Customer agrees to promptly pay CMC for all costs and expenses of the action or proceeding, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs and collection expenses.

Upon reasonable request, Customer will deliver a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage and an endorsement of additional insured in favour of CMC.


12.8    CMC shall maintain, at its expense comprehensive general liability insurance and workers compensation insurance, including product liability insurance, [***].

12.9    Each Party will provide the other Party evidence of such coverage upon request. Each Party will provide the other Party [***] to non-renewal, termination or modification of their respective insurance coverage as described above.

Limitation of Liability
12.10    The Parties represent and acknowledge that they have negotiated the terms of this
Agreement and have reached agreement on the terms based on their own assessment of their own risks, liabilities and rewards in connection with this Agreement and the Product in addition to having had the benefit of professional legal advice and accordingly the Parties agree that without prejudice to the terms of Clauses 16, 12.10 and 12.12 CMC’s aggregate liability to Customer for any loss or damage suffered by the Customer as a result of breach of this Agreement or of any other liability (including but not limited to negligence, misrepresentation or claim under the indemnities) in respect to any claim arising under this Agreement or in connection with the Services shall be limited, in the aggregate, to the [***].

244238347 v3
39



12.11    Without prejudice to Clause 12.12 neither CMC nor Customer shall be liable for any loss or damage howsoever caused (even if foreseeable or in the contemplation of CMC or Customer) in respect of:

12.11.1 [***]; and

12.11.2 [***].

12.12    Nothing in this Agreement shall purport or attempt or serve to exclude or restrict any liability [***].

13.    PRODUCT RECALL

13.1    Subject to Clause 13.3.1, the costs and obligations with respect to any Recall of Product and handling enquiries and contacts from any Regulatory Authority relating to any Recall of Product shall be the responsibility of Customer. Customer shall notify all Regulatory Authorities having jurisdiction over Product (whether or not the issue arose in the jurisdiction controlled by the Regulatory Authority) of any Recall, and shall be responsible for coordinating all necessary activities regarding the action taken. CMC shall, [***], provide all reasonable assistance to Customer in connection with any

Recall. The Parties agree to keep each other advised of any Recall, the progress of undertaking any Recall, and to exchange copies of such documentation as may be reasonably required, to assure regulatory compliance with a Recall.

13.2    If either Party has reason to believe that any Product (whether the Product itself or particular Batch(es)) should be Recalled, such Party shall promptly inform the other in writing, to also include the reasons and explanations for the Recall, prior to taking any such action. In addition, Customer shall give CMC prompt written notice of any Recalls that Customer believes were caused by or may have been caused by CMC’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement.

13.3    If any Product is Recalled for safety reasons or due to a mandatory notification from a Regulatory Authority dictating the Recall and, in either case, such reasons are as a result of CMC’s failure to manufacture Product in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or otherwise as a result of CMC’s negligence or wilful misconduct (“CMC Failure”), then CMC shall, subject to Clause 12, reimburse Customer for all reasonable expenses incurred by Customer in undertaking the Recall of those specific Products which are the subject of a CMC Failure. Such payment shall be made [***]. If CMC disputes that the Recall is:

13.3.1    due to safety reasons or mandatory notification from a Regulatory Authority dictating the Recall then the Parties shall mutually select a regulatory expert to evaluate whether the Recall was appropriate to address the safety reason or comply with the Regulatory Authority’s notice (as applicable); and/or

Commercial Supply Agreement
244238347 v3
40




13.3.2    due to CMC’s CMC Failure, then the Parties shall mutually select an independent laboratory to evaluate whether the Product is defective due to CMC’s CMC Failure; and

the evaluation(s) by the regulatory expert and/or independent laboratory shall be binding on the Parties (other than where such decision is a manifest error). If such evaluation substantially supports CMC’s basis(es) for the dispute, then CMC shall not be responsible for any costs of the Recall. Subject to Clauses 9 and 12, any payment by CMC under this Clause 13.3 shall be Customer’s sole remedy for the costs of the Recall.


14.    TERM AND TERMINATION

16.1    Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement or the Services to the extent, and for so long as, such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the other Party (“Impeded Party”) including but not limited to fires, earthquakes, floods, embargoes, wars, acts of war (whether war is declared or not), terrorist acts, insurrections, riots, civil commotion, strikes, lockouts or other labour disturbances, other substantial similar acts of nature, omissions or delays in acting by any administrative authority, government agency or other Party (a “Force Majeure Situation”).

45



behalf of each Party to this Agreement. No modification or variation of this Agreement shall be valid if made by e-mail.

Amendment
18.5    Unless expressly so agreed, no modification or variation of this Agreement shall constitute or be construed as a general waiver of any provisions of this Agreement, nor shall it affect any rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement which have already accrued up to the date of such modification or waiver, and the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, except and only to the extent that they are so modified or varied.

Assignment
18.6    This Agreement may not be assigned by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party except that a Party may otherwise assign its respective rights and transfer its respective duties to any assignee of all or substantially all of its business (or that portion thereof to which this Agreement relates) or in the event of its merger or consolidation or similar transaction.

Waiver and amendment

Severability

18.10    If any provision of this Agreement shall be found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement which shall remain in full force and effect.
