	CERTIFICATES OF ANALYSIS AND MANUFACTURING COMPLIANCE.


4.1Certificates of Analysis: At Client’s cost and expense, Althea shall test, or cause to be tested by third parties, in accordance with the Specifications, each Batch of Client Product Produced pursuant to this Agreement before delivery to Client. The Certificate of Analysis for each Batch delivered shall be included with the Released Executed Batch Record and shall set forth the items tested, Specifications, and test results. Althea shall also indicate on the final page of the Released Executed Batch Record that all batch Production and control records have been reviewed and approved by the appropriate quality control unit. Althea shall send, or cause to be sent, such certificates to Client prior to the shipment of Client Product (unless Client Product is shipped under quarantine pursuant to a separate written agreement between the parties). Client assumes full responsibility for final release of each Batch of Client Product.
4.2Manufacturing Compliance: Althea shall advise Client immediately if an authorized agent of any Regulatory Authority visits the Facility unannounced and makes an inquiry regarding Althea’s Production of Client Product. Althea shall immediately (i.e., as soon as reasonably possible, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after notice of same) provide Client with notice of any upcoming regulatory inspections of the Facility regarding the Client Product and shall provide Client with an opportunity to observe such inspections.
4.3Audits: Client, at mutually agreed times during normal business hours, shall have the right to inspect, [ * ] per calendar year for not more than [ * ] days, Althea Batch records and the portions of the Facility used for Production, and/or testing of Client Product. Client representatives shall have the right to re-inspect such records and the Facility upon reasonable advance written notice to Althea, in the event of significant adverse findings during a Client or Regulatory Authority audit, or in the event of a Client Product Recall requiring resolution by the parties. If, in addition to the foregoing audits, the parties agree to audits more than [ * ] time in a calendar year, or for more than [ * ] days, Client agrees to reimburse Althea for Althea’s reasonable cost of hosting the additional audit day(s). All audited data will be subject to Article 9. Client shall comply with all Althea SOPs while on Althea’s premises.
4.4Regulatory Compliance: Unless otherwise stated, Althea is responsible for compliance with all Federal, State, national and local laws and regulations (“Regulations”) as they apply generally to the Facility or generally to its production of pharmaceutical products, and specifically to its Production of Client Products under this Agreement. Althea shall be solely responsible for all contact with Regulatory Authorities with respect thereto, provided that Althea shall give Client a right of prior review and approval prior to any submission by Althea of a report or document to a Regulatory Authority regarding Production, except where impractical, e.g. in cases in which a Regulatory Authority demands instant delivery of such report or document. Althea will provide Client with any reports, notices, documents, inspection requests or other correspondence received from a third party, including any Regulatory Authority, regarding 


10
[ * ] = 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 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.







the Production or the Products. Althea will provide Client with any applicable Regulatory Authority deadline for the submission of a particular report as soon as Althea receives such deadline and will deliver a draft thereof for Client’s review as quickly as possible. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent Althea from complying with any law, regulation or Regulatory Authority or deadline imposed thereby. Client shall be responsible for compliance with all Regulations as they apply to all other aspects of the Production, including the Client-Supplied Components, specific approval to manufacture Client Product at the Facility and other compliance issues specific to the Production of Client Product, and the use, Labeling and sale of Client Product, which responsibility shall include, without limitation, all contact with Regulatory Authorities regarding the foregoing. Althea shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Client in obtaining necessary regulatory approvals in accordance with the rates for Regulatory Support as set forth in the SOW.
		
	5.
	ACCEPTANCE OF CLIENT PRODUCT.


5.1Acceptance and Non-Conforming Client Product: Althea shall promptly ship any Client Product samples required in the SOW for each lot within [ * ] business days of the Fill Date. Within ten [ * ] from the date of Althea’s testing and release of Batch(es) of Client Product, Althea shall promptly forward to Client, or Client’s designee, copies of the Released Executed Batch Record. Within [ * ] days after receipt by Client of such documentation, Client shall determine whether Client Product conforms to the quantity ordered, the Specifications and has been manufactured in accordance with cGMP and, if so, notify Althea of its acceptance of such Client Product.
(a)If Client does not notify Althea that any Batch of Client Product does not conform to the Specifications and cGMP (a “non-conformity” or “defect”) and reject such Batch within the above time period, then Client shall be deemed to have accepted the Client Product and waived its right to revoke acceptance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client shall have the right to revoke acceptance in the event of a Batch defect or non-conformity that (i) existed at the time of shipment by Althea under section 2.7 (ii) was not discoverable at the time of delivery by reasonable testing, inspection and review by Client, (iii) was caused by Althea’s failure to adhere to cGMP or the MBR and (iv) Client gives notice thereof to Althea within [ * ] days of the earliest to occur of the events listed in clauses 2.12(b)(i)-(iii) and (v) the prepayment and purchase minimum terms in section 2.15 have been met to date (a “Limited Latent Defect”).
(b)If Client believes any Batch of Client Product does not conform to the Specifications and cGMP, it shall notify Althea by telephone of its rejection of such Batch, including a detailed explanation of the non-conformity, and shall confirm such notice in writing via overnight delivery to Althea within the above-prescribed [ * ]-day acceptance period. Upon receipt of such notice, Althea will investigate such alleged non-conformity, and (i) if Althea agrees such Client Product is non-conforming, deliver to Client a corrective action plan within [ * ] days after receipt of Client’s written notice of non-conformity, or such additional time as is reasonably required e.g. 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 Client Product is non-conforming, Althea shall so notify Client by telephone within such [ * ]-day period and confirm such notice in writing by overnight delivery.
(c)If the parties dispute whether rejected Client Product is conforming or non-conforming, samples of the Batch of Client 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. Client and Althea shall share equally the costs of such laboratory or consultant, except as set forth in Section 5.2.
(d)Manufacturing deviations and investigations which occur during Production of Client Product and which do not cause the Production to be non-compliant with cGMP, shall not be deemed to cause Client Product 


11
[ * ] = 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 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.







to be non-conforming. Althea shall not be liable for any non-conformity arising from Client’s instructions or defective, contaminated or non-conforming Client-Supplied Components.
5.2Exclusive Remedy for Non-Conforming Product: In the event Althea agrees, or the independent laboratory determines, that the Batch of Client Product is non-conforming solely as a result of the negligence of Althea including its failure to adhere to the terms of this Agreement (or cGMP) and Client timely rejects the Batch, then Althea, as Client’s exclusive remedy, shall at its expense, and subject to Client, at [ * ] expense (subject to Section 5.3) supplying the replacement Bulk Compound and any other Client-Supplied Components, replace such non-conforming Client Product within [ * ] days from receipt of replacement Bulk Compound from Client. In such event Althea shall also reimburse Client for any independent laboratory fees paid by Client under Section 5.1(c). In the event such Client Product is determined by the independent laboratory to be conforming, or to be non-conforming due to the act or omission of Client, then Client shall reimburse Althea for Althea’s portion of such laboratory’s fees.
For clarity and by way of example, if Client Product is non-conforming due to non-conforming Bulk Compound or other Client-Supplied Components or other matters within the responsibilities of Client, then Client will not be entitled to the foregoing remedy.
5.3Lost Bulk Compound and Peptide: In the case where Client Product is non-conforming such that Client is entitled to remedies under Section 5.2, or Bulk Compound or Peptide is lost or damaged or otherwise rendered unusable for Client Product due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Althea, then Althea, as Client’s exclusive remedy, shall file a claim under its Professional Liability policy for the lost Bulk Compound and/or Peptide (“Lost Client Components”). Client shall be entitled to reimbursement by Althea [ * ]. For clarity, Client is responsible for losses of Bulk Compound or Peptide not caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Althea or in excess of such proceeds and for maintaining its own insurance, including property insurance, in amounts adequate to cover such losses.
		
	6.
	CLIENT PRODUCT RECALLS.


In the event Client shall be required to recall any Client Product by a Regulatory Authority or under applicable laws and regulations, or in the event that Client elects to institute a voluntary recall, withdrawal, field alert or similar action (collectively a “Recall”), Client shall be responsible for coordinating such Recall. Client promptly shall notify Althea if any Client Product is the subject of a Recall and provide Althea with a copy of all documents relating to such Recall. Althea shall reasonably cooperate with Client in connection with any Recall. Client shall be responsible for all of the costs and expenses of such Recall, except where the Recall is caused by a Batch defect or non-conformity that (i) existed at the time of shipment by Althea under section 2.7 (ii) was not discoverable at the time of delivery by reasonable testing, inspection and review by Client, (iii) was caused by Althea’s failure to adhere to cGMP or the MBR and (iv) Client gives notice thereof to Althea on or before the relevant Client Product expiration date, but in no event later than [ * ] from delivery of same to Client and (v) the [ * ]. In such case Althea shall be responsible for reimbursing Client’s reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses of such Recall.
		
	7.
	FORCE MAJEURE


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 acts of God, acts of terrorism, fire, explosion, flood, drought, war, riot, sabotage, embargo, strikes or other labor trouble, compliance with any order or regulation of any government entity, or by any cause beyond the reasonable control of the affected party, whether or not foreseeable, provided that written notice of such event is promptly given to the other party. In the case of a force majeure event, Althea shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Client to arrange for the Production of Client Product through subcontracting or other means as appropriate to provide Client Product. The responsibility for any differential in the cost for such Production will be mutually agreed upon by the parties. However, if Althea is unable to provide a solution 


12
[ * ] = 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 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.







for the Production of Client Product within [ * ] days of such event, Client may terminate this Agreement as specified in Section 3.2(c) without payment of any Cancellation Fee otherwise due.
		
	8.
	CHANGES IN PRODUCTION.


8.1Changes to Master Batch Records and SOW: Each party agrees to notify the other promptly of any regulatory or other requested changes to the SOW, Client Product, Production, Specifications or the MBR. Upon such notification, Althea shall provide an estimate of any additional fees and costs required and a time line for implementation. No change(s) to any of the foregoing shall be effective or binding unless reduced to writing and signed by both parties.
8.2Product-Specific Changes: If Facility, equipment, process or system changes are required, for example, as a result of requirements set forth by the FDA or in any other Regulations, and such required changes apply only to the Production of one or more Client Products, then Client and Althea will review such requirements and agree in writing to the changes, and Client shall bear the reasonable costs thereof.
8.3Unused Materials: In the event of changes requested by Client or to comply with any regulatory requirement, Client shall reimburse Althea for any Althea-Supplied Components that cannot reasonably be used by Althea or returned for credit.
		
	9.
	CONFIDENTIALITY.


9.1Confidentiality. For purposes of this Agreement “Confidential Information” means all information provided by or on behalf of one party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party in connection with this Agreement including, without limitation, all data, inventions and information developed in or as a result of the performance of this Agreement, whether in oral, written, graphic or electronic form. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all Inventions and Intellectual Property of either party shall be deemed the “Confidential Information” of such party. Each party agrees, with respect to any Confidential Information disclosed to such party (the “Receiving Party”) by the Disclosing Party hereunder: (a) to use such Confidential Information only for the purposes set forth in this Agreement; (b) to receive, maintain and hold the Confidential Information in strict confidence and to use the same methods and degree of care (but at least reasonable care) to prevent disclosure of such Confidential Information as it uses to prevent disclosure of its own proprietary and Confidential Information and to protect against its dissemination to unauthorized parties; (c) not to disclose, or authorize or permit the disclosure of any Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, except to employees, agents and contractors who need such access either to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement, and who have entered into confidentiality agreements that afford the Confidential Information the same level of protection afforded by this Agreement; and (d) except as needed to fulfill its obligations hereunder, to return or destroy any Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party at the request of the Disclosing Party and to retain no copies or reproductions thereof, except that the Receiving Party may retain a single archival copy of the Confidential Information for the sole purpose of determining the scope of obligations incurred under this Agreement.
9.2Exceptions. The Receiving Party shall not be obligated to treat information as Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if the Receiving Party can show by competent tangible evidence that such information: (a) was already known to the Receiving Party without any obligations of confidentiality prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party; (b) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the Receiving Party; (c) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure, other than through any act or omission of the Receiving Party in breach of any obligation of confidentiality; (d) was disclosed to the Receiving Party, by a third party who was not under any obligation, direct or indirect, to Disclosing Party with respect to confidentiality or non-use; or (e) was independently discovered or developed by the Receiving Party without the use of or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

[ * ] = 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 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.







9.3Authorized Disclosure. Notwithstanding Section 9.1, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information, without violating its obligations under Article 9, to the extent the disclosure is required by a valid order of a court or other governmental body having jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Receiving Party, if permitted and practicable, gives reasonable prior written notice to the Disclosing Party of such required disclosure in order to allow Disclosing Party, at its option and expense, to seek a protective or other order preventing or limiting the disclosure. The Receiving Party will limit access to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to only those of the Receiving Party’s employees, consultants, or professional advisors having a need to know and who are bound by written or statutory obligations of confidentiality and non-use consistent with those set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Althea shall be permitted to disclose Client Product information to third party developmental and analytical service providers who have a need to know such information in connection with performance of its obligations hereunder, provided such providers shall be subject to written confidentiality agreements consistent with this Article 9. Receiving Party may disclose the terms of this Agreement to such party’s Affiliates, investors or potential investors, acquirers, or merger candidates, provided they are not competitors of the Disclosing Party, who are bound by written obligations of confidentiality and non-use consistent with those set forth herein.
9.4Injunctive Relief. The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that any breach or threatened breach of this Article 9 may cause immediate and irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party which may not be adequately compensated by damages. Each party therefore agrees that in the event of such breach or threatened breach and in addition to any remedies available at law, the Disclosing Party shall have the right to seek equitable and injunctive relief, without bond, in connection with such a breach or threatened breach.
9.5Public Announcements. Neither party shall publicize or make any announcement concerning this Agreement or the other party which includes the identity, name(s), or other trademarks of the other party or its Confidential Information or the identity of Client Product or the financial terms of this Agreement without the other party’s prior written consent; provided, however, that either party may disclose the terms of this Agreement insofar as required to comply with applicable securities laws, provided further that in the case of such disclosures the party proposing to make such disclosure notifies the other party reasonably in advance of such disclosure and cooperates to minimize the scope and content of such disclosure. The failure of a party to respond in writing to a publication or disclosure proposal from the other party within five working days of such party’s receipt of such publication shall be deemed as such party’s approval of such publication or disclosure as received by such party. Each party agrees that it shall cooperate fully and in a timely manner with the other with respect to any disclosures to the Securities and Exchange Commission and any other governmental or regulatory agencies, including requests for confidential treatment of Confidential Information of either party included in any such disclosure.
9.6Duration of Confidentiality: All obligations of confidentiality and non-use imposed upon the parties under this Agreement shall expire seven (7) years after the relevant disclosure notwithstanding any earlier expiration or termination hereof; provided, however, that Confidential Information which constitutes the trade secrets of a party if expressly labeled as such by the Disclosing Party at the time of disclosure shall be kept confidential indefinitely, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 9.2 and 9.3.

To the extent Althea has or acquires any rights in Client’s Intellectual Property, Althea agrees to assign, and hereby does assign, any and all rights, title and interest that Althea has or may have in and to Client’s Intellectual Property, and to cause its agents to do so. Althea agrees to take such actions and execute such documents (including separate assignment agreements) as may be necessary to effectuate Client’s rights under this Section 10.1. Althea hereby irrevocably appoints Client as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with full authority in its place and stead and name, from time to time, to take any action and to execute any instrument that is reasonable and necessary to accomplish the provisions of this Section 10.1.
10.2Althea Owned Inventions: All Inventions which are conceived, reduced to practice, or created solely by Althea or its agents in the course of performing its obligations under this Agreement and which are not Client’s Intellectual Property shall be solely owned and subject to use and exploitation by Althea, provided that, Althea hereby grants to Client a fully-paid, perpetual, irrevocable (except in the event of Client’s breach of this Agreement), worldwide non-exclusive license to practice any such Invention created by Althea to the extent necessary for Client to make, have made, use, sell, offer and import Client Product.
10.3Jointly Owned Inventions: All Inventions which are conceived, reduced to practice, or created jointly by the parties and/or their respective agents in the course of the performance of this Agreement and which are not Client’s Intellectual Property shall be owned jointly by the parties. Each party shall have full rights to exploit such Inventions for its own commercial purposes without any obligation or duty of accounting to the other. The parties shall share equally in the cost of mutually agreed patent filings with respect to all such jointly owned Inventions. The decision to file for patent coverage on jointly owned Inventions shall be mutually agreed upon, and the Parties shall select a mutually acceptable patent counsel to file and prosecute patent applications based on such joint Inventions. If either party declines to participate in, or share the costs of, such prosecution or payment of maintenance fees for jointly-owned inventions, it shall assign its interest therein promptly to the other party.
10.4No Other Rights: Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted, either expressly or by implication, estoppel or otherwise, as: (a) a grant, transfer or other conveyance by either party to the other of any right, title, license or other interest of any kind in any of its Inventions or other Intellectual Property, (b) creating an obligation on the part of either party to make any such grant, transfer or other conveyance or (c) requiring either party to participate with the other party in any cooperative development program or project of any kind or to continue with any such program or project.
10.5Rights in Inventions: Except for joint Inventions as provided in Section 10.3, the party owning any Invention shall have the world wide right to control the drafting, filing, prosecution and maintenance of patents covering the Inventions including decisions about the countries in which to file patent applications. Patent costs associated with the patent activities described in this Section shall be borne by the sole owner. Each party will cooperate with the other party in the filing and prosecution of patent applications. Such cooperation will include, but not be limited to, furnishing supporting data and affidavits for the prosecution of patent applications and completing and signing forms needed for the prosecution, assignment and maintenance of patent applications.
10.6Confidentiality of Inventions: Inventions and any disclosure of information by one party to the other under the provisions of this Article 10 shall be subject to the provisions of Article 9. It shall be the responsibility of the party preparing a patent application to obtain the written permission of the other party to use or disclose the other party’s Confidential Information in the patent application before the application is filed and for other disclosures made during the prosecution of the patent application, such permission not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

	INSURANCE.


14.1Client Insurance: Client shall procure and maintain, from the Effective Date through the date that is one year after the expiration date of all Client Product Produced under this Agreement, commercial general liability insurance, including without limitation, products and professional liability coverage (the “Client Insurance”). The Client Insurance shall cover amounts not less than [ * ] combined single limit. Upon request, Althea shall be named as an additional insured on the Client Insurance and Client promptly shall deliver a certificate of Client Insurance and endorsement of additional insured to Althea evidencing such coverage. If Client fails to furnish such certificates or endorsements, or if at any time during the Term Althea is notified of the cancellation or lapse of the Client Insurance, and Client fails to rectify the same within [ * ] days after notice from Althea, Althea, at its option, may terminate this Agreement. Any deductible and/or self insurance retention shall be the sole responsibility of Client.
14.2Althea Insurance: Althea shall procure and maintain, from the Effective Date through the date that is one year after the expiration date of all Client Product Produced under this Agreement, commercial general liability insurance and products and professional liability coverage (the “Althea Insurance”). The Althea Insurance shall cover amounts not less than [ * ] combined single limit. Upon request, Client shall be named as an additional insured on the Althea Insurance and Althea promptly shall deliver a certificate of Althea Insurance and endorsement of additional insured to Client evidencing such coverage. If Althea fails to furnish such certificates or endorsements, or if at any time during the Term Client is notified of the cancellation or lapse of the Althea Insurance, and Althea fails to rectify the same within days [ * ] after notice from Client, Client, at its option, may terminate this Agreement. Any deductible and/or self insurance retention shall be the sole responsibility of Althea. For clarity, in the event an SOW provides for, or Client requests, the Production and/or storage of Client Product and/or Client-Supplied Components whose aggregate value exceeds this coverage amount, additional insurance may be required at Client’s expense.
14.3Waiver of Subrogation: Each party hereby waives and shall cause its insurers to waive any and all rights of recovery against the other party and its Affiliates, and against any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives, for any loss or damage that is covered by insurance whether or not such insurance is described in this Agreement, or should have been covered by insurance described in this Agreement, but for the waiving party’s failure to procure or maintain it.
