PROCESSING, RELATED SERVICES and EQUIPMENT


2.1    Supply and Purchase of Product. Catalent shall Process Product in accordance with the Specifications, Quality Agreement, Applicable Laws and the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Client and its Affiliates shall purchase exclusively from Catalent all of Client's and its Affiliates' requirements of Product in the Territory. The exclusive purchase obligation of Client applies to all of Client's and its Affiliates' requirements in the Territory of softgel capsules containing the API, except as provided for under Section 4.1.


A.    Alternative Source of Supply. The parties will discuss appropriate methods to ensure consistency of supply of the Product for the Territory, including completing the qualification, at Client's cost, of (i) a secondary facility in the Catalent network and/or (ii) a third party site outside the Catalent network as an alternate source of supply if there is a Failure to Supply by Catalent and the primary Catalent Facility cannot supply the Product. For avoidance of doubt, Client shall have the right to qualify a third party as an alternate source of supply of the Product at any time during the Term but Client shall not have the right to source Product from such third party except as set forth in Section 2.l(B).


B.    Failure to Supply.


1. A "Failure to Supply" shall occur if at any time during the Term of this Agreement, as a result of its act or omission, Catalent: (a) during any single Contract Year [redacted], Catalent delivers Product pursuant to a Purchase Order more than [redacted]after the delivery date set forth in the Acknowledgement of such Purchase Order for any reason except as excluded in Section 2.l(B)(iii) below, or (b) at any time during the Term, Catalent is unable to deliver Product pursuant to a Purchase Order for a period longer than [redacted]after the applicable delivery date set forth in the Acknowledgement of such Purchase Order for any reason except as excluded in Section 2.l(B)(iii) below.


11. Only in the event of a Failure to Supply as set forth in this Section 2.1 (B), shall Client have the right to purchase Product from any such third party alternate supplier. Once the Catalent Facility is able to supply Product again, Client shall cease issuing purchase orders for Product from any third party alternate supplier, within a commercially reasonable period of time and in no event later than [redacted]following Catalent's notice that it is able to resume supply. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Catalent shall not be required to transfer any Softgel Technology, Catalent Confidential Information or other confidential or proprietary materials or information of Catalent to any third party.


111. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client shall not be entitled to exercise the remedies in this Section 2.1(B) or terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, upon Catalent's inability to supply Product as a result of (1) with respect to a specific lot or Batch, the time elapsed during a

EXECUTION VERSION


quality investigation of an out-of-Specification result or deviation of such lot or Batch, (2) Purchase Orders that exceed [redacted]of the Minimum Requirement for the Contract Year, (3) Client's failure to supply Catalent with sufficient quantities of Client-supplied Materials which meet the Specifications at least [redacted]prior to the delivery date to allow for Processing of Product to be completed within the time period for delivery as set forth in the Acknowledgement to the Purchase Order, (4) delay of Raw Material vendors in accordance with Section 3.2(A), or (5) a Force Majeure event in accordance with Section 18.14.


2.2    Product Maintenance Services. Client will receive the following product maintenance services (the "Product Maintenance Services"): one annual audit (as further described in Section 9.4); regulatory audits (as further described in Section 9.3); one annual Product review (within the meaning of 21 CFR § 211.180); drug master file updates for the Territory, if applicable; access to document library over and above the Quality Agreement, including additional copies of Batch paperwork or other Batch documentation; assistance in preparing Regulatory Approvals; Product documentation and sample storage relating to cGMP requirements; vendor re-qualification; and maintenance, updates and storage of master Batch records and audit reports. For clarity, Catalent will qualify Catalent directed vendors and Client is responsible for qualifying its vendors. For avoidance of doubt, the following services and items are not included in Product Maintenance Services: technology transfer; packaged Product retained samples, analytical work; stability; and process rework.


2.3    Other Related Services. Catalent shall provide such Product-related services, other than Processing or Product Maintenance Services, as agreed to in writing by the parties from time to time. Such writing shall include the scope and fees for any such services and be appended to this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern and apply to such services.


2.4    Equipment. Catalent and Client previously entered into certain quotations identified on Attachment C hereof, which detail some, but not all, of the equipment that Catalent may use to Process Product under this Agreement.


ARTICLE3 MATERIALS
3.1    Client-supplied Materials.


A.    Client shall supply to Catalent for Processing, at Client's cost, all Client-supplied Materials, in quantities sufficient to meet Client's requirements for Product. Client shall deliver such items and associated certificates of analysis to the Facility no later than [redacted] (but not earlier than one-hundred and [redacted]) before the delivery date agreed in the Acknowledgement (as referenced in Section 4.6(B)). Client shall be responsible at its expense for securing any necessary DEA, export or import, similar clearances, permits or certifications required in respect of such supply. Catalent shall use such items solely for Processing.

Certain identified information has been excluded from this exhibit because it both (i) is not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.












EXECUTION VERSION


B.    Following receipt of Client-supplied Materials, Catalent shall inspect such items to verify their identity and perform testing according to the Specifications. For clarity, Catalent will test such items to confirm that they meet the associated Specifications or certificate of analysis or otherwise only to the extent such testing or inspection is required by the Specifications. In the event that Catalent detects a nonconformity with Specifications, Catalent shall give Client prompt notice of such nonconformity. Catalent shall not be liable for any defects in Client-supplied Materials, or in Product as a result of defective Client-supplied Materials, unless Catalent failed to properly perform the foregoing obligations. Catalent shall follow Client's reasonable written instructions in respect of return or disposal of defective Client-supplied Materials, at Client's cost.


C.    Client shall retain title to Client-supplied Materials at all times and shall bear the risk of loss thereof.


3.2    Raw Materials.


A.    Catalent shall be responsible for procuring, inspecting and releasing adequate Raw Materials as necessary to meet the Firm Commitment, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing. Catalent shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of Product if (i) Catalent is unable to obtain, in a timely manner, a particular Raw Material necessary for Processing and (ii) Catalent placed orders for such Raw Materials promptly following receipt of Client's Firm Commitment. In the event that any Raw Material becomes subject to purchase lead time beyond the Firm Commitment time frame, the parties will negotiate in a commercially reasonable manner an appropriate amendment to this Agreement, including Section 4.2.


B.    In certain instances, Client may require a specific supplier, manufacturer or vendor ("Vendor") to be used for Raw Material. In such an event, (i) such Vendor will be identified in the Specifications and (ii) the Raw Materials from such Vendor shall be deemed Client-supplied Materials for purposes of this Agreement. If the cost of the Raw Material from any such Vendor is greater than Catalent's costs for the same raw material of equal quality from other vendors, Catalent shall add the difference between Catalent's cost of the Raw Material and the Vendor's cost of the Raw Material to the Unit Pricing. Client will be responsible for all costs associated with qualification of any such Vendor who has not been previously qualified by Catalent.


C.    In the event of (i) a Specification change for any reason, (ii) obsolescence of any Raw Material or (iii) termination or expiration of this Agreement, Client shall bear the cost of any unused Raw Materials (including packaging), so long as Catalent purchased such Raw Materials in quantities consistent with Client's most recent Firm Commitment and the vendor's minimum purchase obligations.


D.    The parties will work together to implement a safety stock procurement and supply strategy for excipients to be agreed upon in separate written quotation.
3.3    Inventory Status Reports.    Throughout the Term, Catalent shall provide Client, on a [redacted] basis, written inventory status reports setting out the quantities of API and certain

excipients (agreed to in writing by the parties) in inventory for the Processing of Product under this Agreement.


ARTICLE4
MINIMUM COMMITMENT, PURCHASE ORDERS & FORECASTS


4.1    Minimum Requirement. During each Contract Year (and prorated for Contract Year 1), Client shall purchase the minimum number of units of Product set forth on Attachment B ("Minimum Requirement"). If Client does not purchase such Minimum Requirement during any Contract Year, then within [redacted]after the end of such Contract Year, Client shall pay Catalent the difference between (A) the total amount Client would have paid to Catalent if the Minimum Requirement had been fulfilled for the Product and (B) the sum of all purchases of Product from Catalent during such Contract Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client shall have no obligation to meet the Minimum Requirement or to fulfill its obligations relating to such Minimum Requirement if the Client has attempted to place Purchase Orders in compliance with the terms of this Agreement sufficient to meet the Minimum Requirement but has been advised by Catalent that Catalent will not be able to supply Product in adequate quantities in such Contract Year.


4.2    Forecast. On or before the pt day of each calendar month, beginning at least [redacted]prior to the anticipated Commencement Date, Client shall furnish to Catalent a written [redacted]rolling forecast of the quantities of Product that Client intends to order from Catalent during such period ("Rolling Forecast"). The first [redacted]of such Rolling Forecast shall constitute a binding order for the quantities of Product specified therein ("Firm Commitment") and the following [redacted]of the Rolling Forecast shall be non-binding, good faith estimates.
4.3    Long Term Forecasts. Client will provide Catalent a long term forecast of its estimated purchases of Product ("Long Term Forecast").   Client shall provide to Catalent annual updates of the Long Term Forecast by [redacted]of each year, which updates shall cover each of the   following [redacted]Years in the Term. Catalent will meet with Client annually to discuss available capacity to meet the Long Term Forecast.


4.4    Re-Allocation of Capacity. If, due to a shortage of manufacturing capacity caused by the allocation of such capacity to Catalent's other customers, Catalent is unable to deliver a Batch ordered by Client as part of a Purchase Order Acknowledged by Catalent, Catalent shall take commercially reasonable efforts to re-allocate such manufacturing capacity among Client and Catalent's other customers based on Client's and such other customers' forecasted manufacturing requirements for the then current Contract Year. For the avoidance of doubt, if after such commercially reasonable efforts, Catalent is unable to deliver a Batch ordered by Client as part of an Acknowledged Purchase Order, then Section 2.l(B) may apply.


4.5    Catalent shall provide Client written notice of any scheduled shutdown at its manufacturing Facilities that may impact Catalent's ability to timely supply the Product to Client under this Agreement. If Catalent schedules such shutdown at least [redacted]in advance of the shutdown, then Catalent shall provide Client with at least [redacted]notice of such shutdown; however, if such shutdown is scheduled less than [redacted]in advance of such






Certain identified information has been excluded from this exhibit because it both (i) is not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.

shutdown, then Catalent shall provide Client notice within [redacted]of the shutdown being scheduled.

Concurrently with the submission of each Rolling Forecast, Client shall submit a Purchase Order for the Firm Commitment. Purchase Orders for quantities of Product in excess of the Firm Commitment shall be submitted by Client at least [redacted]in advance of the delivery date requested in the Purchase Order.


B.    Promptly following receipt of a Purchase Order, Catalent shall issue a written acknowledgement within [redacted] ("Acknowledgement") that it accepts or rejects such Purchase Order. Each acceptance Acknowledgement shall either confirm the delivery date set forth in the Purchase Order or set forth a reasonable alternative delivery date. Catalent may reject any Purchase Order in excess of the Firm Commitment or otherwise not given in accordance with this Agreement.


C.    Notwithstanding Section 4.6(8), Catalent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to supply Client with quantities of Product which are up to [redacted]in excess of the quantities specified in the Firm Commitment, subject to Catalent's other supply commitments and manufacturing, packaging and equipment capacity.


D.    In the event of a conflict between the terms of any Purchase Order or Acknowledgement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
4.7    Catalent's Cancellation of Purchase Orders. Notwithstanding Section 4.8, Catalent reserves the right to cancel all, or any part of, a Purchase Order upon written notice to Client, and Catalent shall have no further obligations or liability with respect to such Purchase Order, if Client refuses or fails to timely supply conforming Client-supplied Materials in accordance with Section
3.1. Any such cancellation of Purchase Orders shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by Catalent nor shall it absolve Client of its obligation in respect of the Minimum Requirement.


4.8    Client's Modification or Cancellation of Purchase Orders.
A.    Client may modify the delivery date or quantity of Product in a Purchase Order only by submitting a written change order to Catalent at least [redacted]in advance of the earliest delivery date covered by such change order. Such change order shall be effective and binding against Catalent only upon the written approval of Catalent, and notwithstanding the foregoing, Client shall remain responsible for the Firm Commitment.


B.    Notwithstanding any amounts due to Catalent under Section 4.4 or Section 4.1, if Client fails to place Purchase Orders sufficient to satisfy the Firm Commitment, Client shall pay to Catalent in accordance with Article 7 the Unit Pricing for all Units that would have been Processed if Client had placed Purchase Orders sufficient to satisfy the Firm Commitment.




Certain identified information has been excluded from this exhibit because it both (i) is not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.














EXECUTION VERSION


C.    Neither changes to nor postponement of any Batch of Product made or caused by Client will reduce or in any way effect Client's Minimum Requirement obligations set forth in Section 4.1.


4.9    Unplanned Delay or Elimination of Processing. Catalent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the Purchase Orders, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Catalent shall provide Client with as much advance notice as practicable if Catalent determines that any Processing will be delayed or eliminated for any reason but in no event more than [redacted].
4.10    Observation of Processing. In addition to Client's audit right pursuant to Section 9.4, Client may send up to [redacted] Representatives to a Facility to observe Processing for a maximum of [redacted]per Contract Year (unless otherwise agreed by Catalent in writing), upon at least [redacted]prior notice, at reasonable times during regular business hours. Such Representatives shall abide by all Catalent safety rules and other applicable employee policies and procedures, and Client shall be responsible for such compliance. Client shall indemnify and hold harmless Catalent for any action, omission or other activity of such Representatives while on Catalent's premises. Client's Representatives who are not employees of Client shall be required to sign Catalent's standard visitor confidentiality agreement prior to being allowed access to a Facility.


ARTICLE 5 TESTING; RELEASE
5.1    Batch Release. After Catalent completes Processing of a Batch, Catalent shall also provide Client or its designee with Catalent's certificate of analysis for such Batch. Issuance of a certificate of analysis by Catalent constitutes release of the Batch by Catalent to Client. Client shall be responsible for final release of Product to the market (including any additional testing, as applicable), at its cost.
5.2    Testing; Rejection. No later than [redacted]after receipt of the Batch ("Review Period"), Client or its designee shall notify Catalent whether the Batch conforms to Specifications. Upon receipt of notice from Client that a Batch meets Specifications, or upon failure of Client to respond by the end of the Review Period, the Batch shall be deemed accepted by Client and Client shall have no right to reject such Batch. If Client or its designee timely notifies Catalent in writing (an "Exception Notice") that a Batch does not conform to the Specifications or otherwise does not meet the warranty set forth in Section 12.1 ("Defective Product"), and provides a sample of the alleged Defective Product, Catalent shall conduct an appropriate investigation in its discretion to determine whether or not it agrees with Client that Product is Defective Product and to determine the cause of any nonconformity. If Catalent agrees that Product is Defective Product and determines that the cause of nonconformity is attributable to Catalent's negligence or willful misconduct ("Catalent Defective Processing"), then Section 5.4 shall apply. For avoidance of doubt, where the cause of nonconformity cannot be determined or assigned, it shall be deemed not Catalent Defective Processing.


5.3    Discrepant Results. If the parties disagree as to whether Product is Defective Product and/or whether the cause of the nonconformity is Catalent Defective Processing, and this is not resolved within thirty (30) days of the Exception Notice date, the parties shall cause a mutually

acceptable independent third party to review records, test data and to perform comparative tests and/or analyses on samples of the alleged Defective Product and its components, including Client supplied Materials. The independent party's results as to whether or not Product is Defective Product and the cause of any nonconformity shall be final and binding. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, the costs associated with such testing and review shall be borne by Catalent if Product is Defective Product attributable to Catalent Defective Processing, and by Client in all other circumstances.


5.4    Defective Processing. In the event of Catalent Defective Processing, Catalent shall, at its option, either (A) replace at its cost another Batch of Product (as a replacement for any Batch of Defective Product attributable to Catalent Defective Processing) using Client-supplied Materials provided at Client's cost or (B) credit any payments made by Client for such Batch. THE OBLIGATION OF CATALENT TO REPLACE CATALENT DEFECTIVE PROCESSING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SPECIFICATIONS OR CREDIT PAYMENTS MADE BY CLIENT FOR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT ATTRIBUTABLE TO CATALENT DEFECTIVE PROCESSING SHALL BE CLIENT'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.


ARTICLE6 DELIVERY

If Client shall fail, within a reasonable time, to make such payment in advance, or if Client shall fail to make any payment when due, Catalent shall have the right, at its option, to suspend any further performance hereunder until such default is corrected, without thereby releasing Client from its obligations under this Agreement.

The cost of any Recall shall be borne by Client, and Client shall reimburse Catalent for expenses incurred in connection with any Recall, in each case unless such Recall is caused solely by Catalent's breach of its Processing obligations under this Agreement or Catalent' s violation of Applicable Laws, then such cost shall be borne by Catalent.
