written communications from any Regulatory Authority that relate to the Drug Product or
the services performed hereunder, whether such communications arise out of a facility
inspection or otherwise. ALTHEA shall provide CLIENT with a copy of each proposed
written response to a Regulatory Authority for CLIENT’s review and comment prior to
ALTHEA’s submission of such response. ALTHEA shall give all due consideration to any
CLIENT comments to each such proposed ALTHEA response, provided CLIENT responds in a
timely fashion. Manufacturing deviations and investigations which occur during
Production of Drug Product and which are not reasonably likely, in CLIENT’s reasonable
discretion, to cause the Production to be non-compliant with cGMP, shall not be deemed
to cause such Drug Product to be non-conforming.
	 
	 	4.3	 	Reserve Samples: CLIENT shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining
sufficient quantities of APIs and Drug Product reserve samples pursuant to cGMP.
	 
	 	4.4	 	Annual Quality Review: CLIENT shall be responsible for evaluating, at least

distribution and shipment, manufacturing, analytical, validation, and other records as
specified in cGMP related to the Development, Production, and any other services
performed hereunder (collectively, the “Production Records”). ALTHEA shall retain all
Production Records in accordance with Applicable Legal Requirements, including without
limitation cGMP. ALTHEA shall, upon CLIENT’s reasonable request and at CLIENT’s
expense, make all Production Records available to CLIENT for inspection and, for
Production Records directly pertaining to CLIENT’s Drug Products, copying. ALTHEA
shall, prior to destroying any Production Records, provide written notice to CLIENT
and permit CLIENT the opportunity to take possession of such records, at CLIENT’s
expense.
	 
	 	4.6	 	Customer Complaints: CLIENT, as required by cGMP, shall maintain complaint
files. All specific CLIENT Drug Product-related complaints received by ALTHEA shall

	 	 	 	the review of the complaint to determine the need for an investigation or the need
to report to the FDA as required by cGMP. CLIENT shall send to ALTHEA all Drug
Product performance or manufacturing-related complaints which require
investigation. ALTHEA shall conduct an investigation for each Drug Product
performance or manufacturing-related complaint and shall report findings and
follow-up of each investigation to CLIENT in a timely manner. CLIENT shall make
these complaint files available to ALTHEA in the event they are required during an
FDA inspection.






	 	4.7	 	Audits:
	 
	 	 	 	CLIENT, upon prior written notice and during normal business hours, shall have the
right to inspect ALTHEA Batch records, Production Records, and any other written
and electronic files and documentation related to Development, Production, and/or
other services performed hereunder and the portions of ALTHEA’s facility used for
Production of Drug Product. CLIENT may conduct routine audits once annually and
audits for reasonable cause with appropriate prior notice and consideration of
ALTHEA’s schedule as frequently as CLIENT reasonably deems necessary. Each party
shall bear its own costs associated with all such CLIENT audits. The Quality
Management Agreement set forth in the applicable Project Plan shall govern the
parties’ obligations with respect to the results of such audits.
	 
	 	4.8	 	Regulatory Compliance: Unless otherwise stated, ALTHEA is responsible for
compliance with all Applicable Legal Requirements related to Production of
pharmaceutical products, Development and Production of Drug Product, and any other
services performed by ALTHEA under this Agreement. CLIENT shall be responsible for
compliance with all Applicable Legal Requirements related to the use of Drug Product
after it has been Produced and delivered by ALTHEA to CLIENT hereunder, which
responsibility shall include, without limitation, all contact with the FDA regarding
the such use.
	 
	 	4.9	 	Person in the Plant. CLIENT shall have the right to designate one
representative of CLIENT to be present at any time in the ALTHEA facility during normal
business hours during the Term of this Agreement to observe the Production of Drug
Product. While at the facility, such representative of CLIENT shall be restricted to
such areas as are directly relevant to the manufacture of the Drug Product and such
other areas as may be otherwise authorized by ALTHEA, and shall comply with all
applicable ALTHEA policies and procedures and may, at ALTHEA’s option, be escorted by

Article 5, ACCEPTANCE OF DRUG PRODUCT.





	 	5.1	 	Non-Conforming Drug Product: Within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date
of Production of any Batch pursuant to the Project Plan, ALTHEA shall promptly forward
to CLIENT, or CLIENT’s designee, samples of such Batch. Within sixty (60) calendar
days after receipt by CLIENT of the samples of the Batch and the Released Executed
Batch Record for the Batch, CLIENT shall determine whether Drug Product conforms to
the Drug Product Specifications, the Master Batch Record, ALTHEA’s current SOPs, and
the Project Plan (collectively the “Product Requirements”).






	 	5.1.1	 	If (a) any Batch of Drug Product is approved by CLIENT as
conforming to the Product Requirements, or (b) CLIENT fails to notify ALTHEA
within the applicable time period set forth above, or such longer period as
may be agreed, that any Batch of Drug Product does not conform to the Product
Requirements, then CLIENT shall be deemed to have accepted the Drug Product
and waived its right to revoke acceptance.
	 
	 	5.1.2	 	If CLIENT believes any Batch of Drug Product does not
conform to the Product Requirements, it shall notify ALTHEA by telephone,
including a detailed explanation of the non-conformity, and shall confirm such
notice in writing via overnight delivery to ALTHEA. Upon receipt of such
notice, ALTHEA will investigate such alleged non-conformity, and (i) if ALTHEA
agrees such Drug Product is non-conforming, deliver to CLIENT a corrective
action plan within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of CLIENT’s written
notice of non-conformity, or such additional time as is reasonably required if
such investigation or plan requires data from sources other than CLIENT or
ALTHEA, or (ii) if ALTHEA disagrees with CLIENT’s determination that the Batch
of Drug Product is non-conforming, ALTHEA shall so notify CLIENT by telephone
within the thirty (30) calendar day period and confirm such notice in writing
by overnight delivery.
	 
	 	5.1.3	 	If the parties dispute whether a Batch of Drug Product is
conforming or non-conforming, samples of the Batch of Drug Product will be
submitted to a mutually acceptable laboratory or consultant for resolution,
whose determination of conformity or non-conformity, and the cause thereof if
non-conforming, shall be binding upon the parties. Unless the Batch is
determined to be non-conforming as set forth in this Section 5. 3 due to the
fault of ALTHEA, CLIENT shall bear the costs of such laboratory or consultant.






	 	5.2	 	Remedies for Non Conforming Product: In the event ALTHEA agrees, or the
laboratory described in Section 5.1.3 above determines, that the Batch of Drug Product
is non-conforming as a result of the negligent or willful act or omission of ALTHEA,
[†] or ALTHEA’s breach of this Agreement, then ALTHEA, at CLIENT’s option, shall
either (i) at ALTHEA’s expense, and subject to CLIENT, at CLIENT’s expense, supplying
the replacement APIs, replace such non-conforming Drug Product within sixty (60)
calendar days from receipt of replacement APIs from CLIENT, or (ii) refund the
Purchase Price of the non-







 




			
	†	 	DESIGNATES PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT THAT HAVE BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO
A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION




 









 











	 	 	 	conforming Drug Product to CLIENT (provided that CLIENT has made payment for the
non-conforming Drug Product). The remedies described in this Section 5.2 shall not
act to limit ALTHEA’s indemnification obligations to the extent provided in Section
13.2 of this Agreement.






	 	5.3	 	Non-conforming APIs: If Drug Product is rejected by CLIENT, and such Drug
Product’s failure to meet the Product Requirements is the result of non-conforming
APIs, then such non-conformity shall be deemed not to be non-conforming solely as a
result of the negligence of ALTHEA.





Article 6, DRUG PRODUCT RECALLS.





	 	6.1	 	Drug Product Recalls: In the event CLIENT shall be required to recall any
Drug Product because such Drug Product may violate local, state or federal laws or
regulations, the laws or regulations of any applicable foreign government or agency or
the Drug Product Specifications, or in the event that CLIENT elects to institute a
voluntary recall, CLIENT shall be responsible for coordinating such recall. CLIENT
promptly shall notify ALTHEA if any Drug Product is the subject of a recall and the
basis for such recall. CLIENT shall provide ALTHEA with a copy of all documents
concerning such recall that are related to the Development or Production services
provided by ALTHEA to CLIENT. ALTHEA shall cooperate with CLIENT in connection with
any recall, at CLIENT’s expense. CLIENT shall be responsible for all of the costs and
expenses of such recall, except to any extent that ALTHEA may have an obligation to
indemnify CLIENT in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2.





Article 7, FORCE MAJEURE; FAILURE TO SUPPLY.





	 	7.1	 	Force Majeure Events: Failure of either party to perform under this
Agreement (except the obligation to make payments) shall not subject such party to any
liability to the other if such failure is caused by any cause beyond the reasonable
control of the affected party, including without limitation acts of God, acts of
terrorism, fire, explosion, flood, drought, war, riot, sabotage, embargo, strikes or
other labor trouble, or compliance with any new order or regulation of any government
entity that could not reasonably be anticipated, provided that written notice of such
event is promptly given to the other party and that the affected party resumes
performance hereunder as soon as reasonably possible.
	 
	 	7.2	 	Failure to Supply: If ALTHEA fails to supply all or any material part of
Drug Product ordered by CLIENT, CLIENT may require ALTHEA to supply the undelivered
Drug Product or a lesser quantity at a future date agreed upon by ALTHEA and CLIENT,
at no additional cost to CLIENT. The provisions of this Section 7.2 shall be without
prejudice to CLIENT’s rights under Section 3.2 and 13.2 and remedies provided for
thereunder.

Article 8, CHANGES IN PRODUCTION.





	 	8.1	 	Changes to Master Batch Records and Product Specifications: ALTHEA agrees to
inform CLIENT within fifteen (15) days of the result of any regulatory development or
changes to Drug Product-specific SOPs that materially affect the Production of Drug
Product. ALTHEA shall notify CLIENT of and receive written approval from CLIENT for
changes to Master Batch Records and Drug Product Specifications prior to the
Production of subsequent Batches of Drug Product.
	 
	 	8.2	 	Product-Specific Changes: If facility, equipment, process or system changes
are required of ALTHEA as a result of new requirements that FDA or any other
Regulatory Authority promulgates after initiation of the Project Plan, and such
regulatory changes apply primarily to the Production and supply of one or more Drug
Products, then CLIENT and ALTHEA will review such requirements and agree in writing to
such facility, equipment, process or system changes, and CLIENT shall bear 100% of the
reasonable costs thereof. In the event that CLIENT chooses not to bear the costs of
such changes, then CLIENT may cancel any uninitiated Production of Drug Product
without incurring any Cancellation Fees or other penalties hereunder.





Article 9, CONFIDENTIALITY.





	 	9.1	 	Confidentiality: It is contemplated that in the course of the performance of
this Agreement each party may, from time to time, disclose its Confidential
Information to the other party. Except as otherwise set forth herein, (a) neither
party shall disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to any third party,
and (b) neither party shall use the other party’s Confidential Information except for
purposes consistent with this Agreement. Each party agrees to take the same measures
that it takes to protect its own Confidential Information, and at a minimum all
reasonable steps, to prevent disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information
to third parties. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed so as to preclude
disclosure of Confidential Information as may be reasonably necessary to secure from
any governmental agency or Regulatory Authority approvals or licenses or to obtain
patents with respect to the Drug Product.






	 	9.2	 	Prior Confidentiality Agreement: This Agreement, by reference, incorporates
the Confidentiality Agreement signed by CLIENT and ALTHEA on June 14, 2005, which is

obligations at least as stringent as those set forth herein. In addition, either
party may disclose Confidential Information of the other party to those Affiliates,
agents and consultants who need to know such information to accomplish the purposes of
this Agreement (collectively, “Permitted Recipients”); provided such Permitted
Recipients are bound to maintain such Confidential Information in confidence under
written agreements with confidentiality obligations at least as stringent as those set
forth herein. Nothing in this Section 9 shall be construed to limit CLIENT’s ability
to use and disclose Confidential Information related to its Drug Product(s) as part of
any submission to FDA or other regulatory authority.






	 	9.4	 	Litigation and Governmental Disclosure: Each party may disclose Confidential
Information hereunder to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary for (a)
prosecuting or defending litigation, (b) complying with applicable governmental
statutes or regulations or with judicial or administrative process, or (c) CLIENT’s
conduct of pre-clinical or clinical trials of Drug Product, provided that if a party
is required by law, regulation, or judicial or administrative process, or as a result
of litigation, to make any such disclosure of the other party’s Confidential
Information, the party subject to such legal requirement or litigation will, when
reasonably practicable, give reasonable advance notice to the other party of such
disclosure requirement and will use good faith efforts to assist such other party to
secure a protective order or confidential treatment of such Confidential Information
required to be disclosed.
	 
	 	9.5	 	Limitation of Disclosure: The parties agree that, except as otherwise may be
required by applicable laws, regulations, rules or judicial or administrative orders,
including without limitation the rules and regulations promulgated by the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission, and except as may be authorized in Sections
9.4 or 9.6, no information concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
herein shall be made public by either party without the prior written consent of the
other.
	 
	 	9.6	 	Publicity. Except as part of any regulatory submission by CLIENT, or except
as may be otherwise required by law or regulation after first providing reasonable
advance notice to the other party, or except as otherwise expressly set forth herein,
neither party may use the other party’s name in any promotional material, advertising,
press releases, or other materials without in each case the prior written consent of
the other party. ALTHEA hereby consents to CLIENT’s disclosure of this Agreement and
ALTHEA’s name to CLIENT’s current and potential employees, consultants, directors,
professional advisors, shareholders, investors and business partners.
	 
	 	9.7	 	Return of Confidential Information. Upon the expiration or any termination
of this Agreement, each party shall, upon the request of the other party, return such

the party returning such Confidential Information shall be entitled to retain one
copy of all such Confidential Information to ensure its compliance with this
Agreement and/or any Applicable Legal Requirements.




	 	9.8	 	Duration of Confidentiality: All obligations of confidentiality and non-use
imposed upon the parties under this Agreement shall expire ten (10) years after the
expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

not relieve the Indemnitor of any of its obligations hereunder except to the extent
the Indemnitor is prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnitee shall permit, and shall
cause its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees,

Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. No such action, claim or other matter shall be settled without the prior
written consent of the Indemnitor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. The Indemnitee, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers,
employees, subcontractors and agents shall fully cooperate with the Indemnitor and its
legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any action, claim or other
matter covered by the indemnification obligations of this Article 13. The Indemnitee
