Supplier shall promptly notify Myovant and provide to Myovant an alternative delivery date which is as close to the original delivery date as reasonably possible.
7.2.1    Shelf-Life.  With respect to the manufacture of Product(s) under this Agreement, at the time Product is made available for shipment to Myovant, such Product shall have no less than [***] of its Shelf-Life remaining.  For purposes of this Section 7.2.1, the term “Shelf-Life” means the length of time that elapses between the date that such Product is released by Supplier and the date that such Product must be re-tested as determined by Supplier based on current stability results as of the date such Product is made available for shipment by Supplier to Myovant.  For illustrative purposes, [***].  In the case of such remaining Shelf-Life at delivery being (or anticipated to be) less than the foregoing, then Supplier shall notify Myovant in writing promptly after Supplier’s receipt of the applicable Purchase Order and may deliver the Product on a schedule agreed to in writing by Myovant.
7.2.2    Testing by Supplier.  Prior to delivery by Supplier pursuant to Section 9.1, Supplier shall undertake release testing to obtain a Quality Release for each Batch of the Product(s) that is Manufactured pursuant to a Purchase Order and in accordance with the terms of the Quality Agreement.
7.2.3    Provision of Records.  With each Batch of Product(s) delivered by Supplier pursuant to Section 9.1, Supplier shall provide for each Batch all Batch Documentation, including a certificate of analysis, Quality Release and certificate of conformance, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Quality Agreement.
7.2.4    Delayed Deliveries.  Supplier shall notify Myovant immediately if Supplier believes that it may not be able to deliver the Product(s) by the delivery date specified in the relevant Purchase Order.  Upon such notice, the Parties shall discuss in good faith ways in which the delay can be avoided (or if it cannot be avoided, shortened) and Supplier shall consider and implement in good faith any reasonable suggestion by and discussion/agreement with Myovant to avoid or mitigate the delay.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both Parties, if Supplier delivers the Product(s) more than [***] after the delivery date specified in the relevant Purchase Order, and the failure to deliver is not as a result of a Force Majeure Event and attributable to Supplier, then Supplier shall discount the price for the affected shipment(s) of Product(s) by [***] per each [***] period exceeding the aforementioned [***] after such delivery date, up to [***] of the price for such Product(s) over a period ending [***] after such originally specified delivery date.  At Myovant’s option, any such discounted amounts under this Section 7.2.4 shall be payable to Myovant as a set-off against other payments that Myovant may owe Supplier.  If Supplier has not delivered such Product(s) after such [***] period has elapsed, then, in addition to any other remedies Myovant may have under this Agreement, Myovant shall be entitled to deduct the applicable RSM Option Payment (or applicable portion thereof) from any other payments that Myovant may owe Supplier.  If Supplier fails to deliver Product(s) in the quantities and by the delivery dates specified in the relevant Purchase Order or based on the mutual agreement for any [***] in a Calendar Year, and the failure to deliver is not as a result of a Force Majeure Event, Myovant shall, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, have the right to terminate this Agreement due to a material breach by Supplier without notice or cure period.  Myovant’s exercise of its rights and remedies set forth in this Section 7.2.4 shall not limit or waive any of its other rights or remedies set forth herein or which may otherwise be available in law or equity.
7.3    Notice of Potential Inability to Supply.  Supplier shall inform Myovant of any events that may prevent Supplier from fulfilling its supply obligations with respect to amounts of Product(s) ordered pursuant to any portion of any Firm Order as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of such events, but in no event less than forty-eight (48) hours after Supplier obtains knowledge of any potential delay in Manufacturing or supply of Product(s) hereunder.  In the event Supplier notifies Myovant of a potential inability to supply Product(s), the Parties shall discuss in good faith how to resolve or avoid (or, if not capable of resolution or avoidance, shorten) such supply problems.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Supplier will consider and implement in good-faith any reasonable suggestion of Myovant to resolve or avoid, or otherwise or shorten, any delay in Manufacturing or supply of Product(s).
7.4    Supply Shortage.  If Supplier is unable to deliver [***] of the quantities of Product(s) that have been ordered by Myovant in accordance with Section 7.1.3, then Supplier shall fulfill any and all outstanding Purchase Orders from Myovant giving reasonable priority compared to any orders from Third Parties.

8.2    Manufacturing Changes.
8.2.1    Myovant may request to amend, modify or supplement the Specifications or the Manufacturing process with respect to the Products upon written notice to Supplier (each such amendment, modification or supplement, a “Manufacturing Change”).  The implementation of any such Manufacturing Change shall be subject to this Section 8.2 and the Quality Agreement.
8.2.2    [***].
8.3    Modifications.  Supplier shall not modify the Specifications, Manufacturing, and testing processes, in each case, employed with regard to the Manufacture of the Product(s) or any component thereof, other than as agreed in writing. 
8.4    Manufacturing Location.  Supplier shall supply Product(s) for which the final Manufacturing processes have been performed solely at the Facility, in each case unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing.
8.5    Quality Agreement.  Within [***] of execution of this Agreement (or such later date as the Parties may agree in writing), the Parties will enter into the Quality Agreement, which will define roles and responsibilities, change control, release authority, GMP requirements, sampling, testing and retain plans, specifications, preventative maintenance, dispute resolution and other aspects related to quality of Product(s).  In addition, the Quality Agreement will detail the Parties’ obligations with respect to regulatory audits and will control over this Agreement with respect to quality issues to the extent this Agreement, including without limitation Section 6.1, contradicts the Quality Agreement.
8.6    Resources.  Supplier agrees to allocate adequate resources to execute its obligations under this Agreement, including all Scopes of Work.  Each Party agrees to respond promptly in the performance of their respective obligations beginning upon the execution of this Agreement or upon the execution of the applicable Scope of Work, as the case may be.
ARTICLE 9
DELIVERY, TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS
9.1    Shipment Terms; Title; Risk of Loss.  Except as otherwise provided under Article 13 of this Agreement, all Product(s) will be shipped to Myovant or its designee [***] to Myovant’s designated site, freight collect, by a common carrier designated by Myovant in the Purchase Order, at Myovant’s expense.

NON-CONFORMING PRODUCT(S)/RETURNS
10.1    Claims for Detectable Defects.  Myovant shall notify Supplier within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by Myovant or its designated dosage form (with respect to Drug Substance) manufacturer or drug substance (with respect to RSM) manufacturer of any shipment of the Product(s) supplied by or on behalf of Supplier of the existence and nature of any defect in or failure of the Product(s) to comply with Section 6.1 or Section 8.1 at the time of delivery that could have been detected by a reasonable physical inspection of the Product(s) at the time of delivery (“Detectable Defects”).  If such notice is not provided within such thirty (30) days period, then such Product(s) will be deemed not to have any Detectable Defects, Myovant will be deemed to have accepted the Product(s), and Supplier will have no further responsibility for such Detectable Defects.  A non-conformity relating to stability of the Product(s) shall not be considered a Detectable Defect.

CONFIDENTIAL

10.2    Claims for Latent Defects.  Myovant shall notify Supplier within ten (10) Business Days upon discovery of any defect in or failure of the Product(s) to comply with Section 6.1 or Section 8.1 that is not a Detectable Defect (such defect or failure, a “Latent Defect”).  Claims that are submitted by Myovant shall state the nature of the alleged defect, including how such alleged defect was discovered, in detail reasonably sufficient to enable Supplier to identify the nature of the alleged defect or to dispute the same, and to determine that the defect existed at the time of delivery. However, Myovant may only claim for Latent Defects for Product sold before the applicable expiration date listed on the container/labels of a Product and approved by the relevant Regulatory Authority, including any extensions or updates from time to time after the transfer of title and loss from Supplier to Myovant according to Section 9.1 (the “Expiration Date”).  For clarity, if Myovant discovers that a Product that was sold before its expiration date had a Latent Defect at the time of such sale, then Myovant may make a claim for such Latent Defect at any time, including after such expiration date.
10.3    Provision of Samples.  Myovant shall, when notifying Supplier of an alleged defect, provide samples of any allegedly defective Product(s) and copies of written reports or investigations performed by or on behalf of Myovant on such allegedly defective Product(s).
10.4    Referral to Independent Laboratory.  In the event of a dispute between the Parties as to any defect in a Product(s), including whether a defect was a Detectable Defect, a Latent Defect or whether such defect existed at the time of delivery, that cannot be resolved within thirty (30) days of a claim being made to Supplier pursuant to Section 10.1 or Section 10.2, the matter shall promptly (but in no case later than ten (10) Business Days after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period) be submitted to an independent laboratory to be mutually agreed between the Parties.  The independent laboratory will examine the Product(s) at issue and determine the existence and, if relevant, the timing of any defect in the Product(s).  The decision of the independent laboratory shall be binding on the Parties, except in the case of fraud.  Myovant shall bear the costs of the independent laboratory if the independent laboratory finds that the Product(s) was not defective or that such defect did not exist at the time of delivery.  Supplier shall bear the costs of the independent laboratory if the independent laboratory finds that the Product(s) was defective at the time of delivery.
10.5    Credit Note; Replacement Product(s); Defective Product(s).  Following a claim from Myovant pursuant to Section 10.1 or Section 10.2, and without limiting any of Myovant’s remedies with respect to any breach by Supplier of this Agreement, or the remedies set forth in Sections 7.2.4 or 7.4, Supplier’s sole obligation with respect to replacing defective Product(s) in the event that Supplier accepts Myovant’s claim as valid or the independent laboratory decides in favor of Myovant’s claim, shall be to either, at Myovant’s election: (a) provide Myovant with a Credit Note equal to (i) the price paid by Myovant for the defective Product(s) and (ii) the costs paid by Myovant, if any, to any independent laboratory used in connection in accordance with Section 10.4 with respect to such determination; or (b) replace the defective Product(s) as soon as commercially practicable.  Any Product that is agreed or determined to be defective shall be, as directed by Supplier, either destroyed by Myovant or returned to Supplier, in both cases at Supplier’s expense.  Except for Supplier’s obligations under Article 12 and Article 18, Supplier shall have no liability for defective Product(s) other than as provided in this Article 10.
ARTICLE 11
STORAGE, HANDLING AND TRANSPORT
11.1    Supplier’s Responsibilities.  The Product(s) shall be Manufactured by or on behalf of Supplier and stored, handled, packaged, and transported in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, the Quality Agreement and all Applicable Laws.  Supplier shall maintain appropriate quality assurance and quality control standards and record-keeping practices, including systems, resources and procedures in order to satisfy these obligations. 
11.2    Notice of Inspections by Regulatory Authorities.  The Parties’ obligations with respect to any inspections or audits by any Regulatory Authority related to the Product(s) shall be governed by Section 6.2 and the Quality Agreement.
ARTICLE 12
RECALL
Each Party will promptly notify the other Party upon its determination that any event, incident, or circumstance has occurred, including but not limited to any field alert made pursuant to 21 C.F.R. part 314.81(b)(1), that may result in the need for a Recall or market withdrawal of a Product(s) and/or Commercial Product (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours and in all cases prior to the execution of such Recall or market withdrawal).  For all such Recalls, the Parties will reasonably consult with each other with respect to the actions to be taken to address such Recall.  Subject to this Article 12, for all Recalls, market withdrawals, and stock recoveries that are taken with respect to any Commercial Product and/or any Product(s) that is in Myovant’s possession or control,

Myovant will be responsible for execution, and Supplier will take such actions as reasonably requested by Myovant in connection therewith and otherwise reasonably cooperate in all such efforts.  All expenses incurred in connection with any Recall (including expenses for notification, destruction, and return of the affected Product(s) and/or Commercial Product and any refund to customers of amounts paid for such Product(s) and/or Commercial Product) will be the sole responsibility of Supplier (except to the extent such Recall is caused by the Myovant Companion Product or in any other way not attributable to Supplier).
ARTICLE 13
TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER; SUPPORT SERVICES
13.1    Technology Transfer.  At Myovant’s request, and at its cost in accordance with a mutually agreed Scope of Work in accordance with Section 13.2, Supplier shall transfer to Myovant or its designee all know-how and technology necessary or useful for the Manufacture of Drug Substance and RSM.  Myovant shall initiate and oversee such technology transfer, and shall in good faith assess the progress of such transfer until it is completed to contents agreed by the Parties.  Upon such request by Myovant for a technology transfer, the Parties will work in good faith to establish a mutually agreed, detailed technology transfer plan, including tasks, deliverables, timelines and budgets (the “Technology Transfer Plan”).  Upon adoption of the Technology Transfer Plan, each Party will perform such tasks as are assigned to it as described therein.  For clarity, if Supplier elects to transfer the manufacture of any Product(s) to another facility within the [***] of affiliated companies, including [***], then Supplier will bear the cost of such transfer.
13.2    Support Services.  Beginning on the Effective Date and continuing during the Term, upon reasonable request of Myovant, Supplier shall provide Myovant or its designee with reasonable technical, regulatory, CMC and other related services in support of the Manufacturing of Product(s) (collectively, the “Support Services”).  Any Support Services provided by Supplier will be documented in work orders, executed by both Parties and substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C (each a “Scope of Work”).  Each Scope of Work shall include milestone payments as mutually agreed.  In addition, the Parties may mutually agree to adjust activities and/or costs under any Scope of Work, with discussions regarding such adjustments to be conducted in good faith by each Party.  Supplier will perform Support Services from Supplier’s or its Affiliates’ facilities unless otherwise expressly set forth in a Scope of Work. 
13.3    Reimbursement for Support Services.  Myovant shall compensate Supplier in accordance with the milestone achievements and corresponding payment terms for Supplier’s achievement thereof as set forth in any applicable Scope of Work.  Supplier shall invoice Myovant within thirty (30) days after the end of each month during the Term for all milestone payments accrued by Supplier through its provision of the Support Services in each then-current Scope of Work, which shall include a brief description of work performed, and Myovant shall pay such invoice in accordance with Article 14.

Myovant shall make all payments for invoices issued by Supplier in Euros via an Automatic Clearing House payment to Supplier’s account designated by Supplier.
14.2    Taxes.  Myovant shall pay any applicable taxes, including sales, use, excise, value-added, service, goods and services, and consumption taxes imposed by relevant taxing authorities as a result of payments it makes to Supplier pursuant to this Agreement.  All other taxes, including but not limited to income tax, gross receipts tax and foreign withholding tax, applicable to payments Myovant makes to Supplier pursuant to this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of Supplier.  Each Party will provide to the other Party any resale exemption, multiple points of use certificates, treaty certification and other exemption information reasonably requested by the other Party.

16.2    Exceptions.  The obligations in Section 16.1 will not apply with respect to any portion of the Confidential Information that the Receiving Party can show by competent evidence:
16.2.1    is publicly disclosed by the Disclosing Party, either before or after it is disclosed to the Receiving Party hereunder;
16.2.2    is known to the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates at the time of its receipt, and not through a prior disclosure by the Disclosing Party, without any obligation to keep it confidential or any restriction on its use, prior to such disclosure by the Disclosing Party;

16.3.2    Notice; Confidential Treatment.  If and whenever any Confidential Information is disclosed in accordance with this Section 16.3, such disclosure will not cause any such information to cease to be Confidential Information except to the extent that such disclosure results in a public disclosure of such information (other than by breach of this Agreement).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Party is required to make a disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section 16.3.1(a), (b), or (c), then it will, except where illegal, (a) give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure and use not less than the same efforts to secure confidential treatment of or a protective (or similar) order for such Information as it would to protect its own Confidential Information from disclosure, and (b) only disclose the minimum amount of Confidential Information reasonably required for the purpose of such disclosure.
16.4    Terms of this Agreement.  The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement and all of the respective terms of this Agreement will be treated as Confidential Information of both Parties.

Each Party agrees not to issue any press release or other public statement disclosing other information relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby that contains information not previously publicly disclosed without the prior written consent of the other Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
16.6    Equitable Relief.  Given the nature of the Confidential Information and the competitive damage that could result to a Party upon unauthorized disclosure, use or transfer of its Confidential Information to any Third Party, the Parties agree that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article 16.  In addition to all other remedies, a Party will be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief as a remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Article 16.

Myovant hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Supplier and its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Supplier Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, suits, actions, demands or other proceedings brought by any Third Party (each, a “Claim”) and all liabilities, expenses, damages, or losses, including reasonable legal expense and attorneys’ fees but excluding lost profits (collectively, “Losses”), to which any Supplier Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any such Claim to the extent such Claim arise or result from: (a) the Manufacture or Commercialization of the Product(s) or Commercial Product in the Territory, in each case, by or on behalf of Myovant, its Affiliate, or its Sublicensee; (b) the breach by Myovant of any warranty, representation, covenant, or agreement made by Myovant in this Agreement; (c) the negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Myovant, its Affiliate, or its Sublicensee, or any officer, director, employee, agent, or representative thereof; and (d) the failure to comply with Applicable Law by or on behalf of Myovant in connection with the Product(s) or Commercial Product, or this Agreement; except, with respect to each of subsections (a) through (d) above, to the extent such Losses arise directly from the negligence, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of any Supplier Indemnitee or the breach by Supplier of any warranty, representation, covenant, or agreement made by Supplier in this Agreement.
18.2    Indemnification by Supplier.  Supplier hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Myovant and its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (each, an “Myovant Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses to which any Myovant Indemnitee may incur, suffer, or be required to pay as a result of, or arising in connection with, any Claim to the extent such Claims arise or result directly from: (a) the breach by Supplier of any warranty, representation, covenant, or agreement made by Supplier in this Agreement; (b) the negligence, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of Supplier or its Affiliates or Subcontractors, or any officer, director, employee, agent or representative thereof; and (c) the failure to comply with Applicable Law by or on behalf of Supplier in connection with the Product(s) or this Agreement; except, with respect to each of subsections (a) through (c) above, to the extent such Losses result directly from the negligence, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of any Myovant Indemnitee, or the breach by Myovant of any warranty, representation, covenant, or agreement made by Myovant in this Agreement.
18.3    Indemnification Procedures.
18.3.1    Notice.  Promptly after a Supplier Indemnitee or a Myovant Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) receives notice of a pending or threatened Claim, such Indemnitee will give written notice of the Claim to the Party from whom the Indemnitee is entitled to receive indemnification pursuant to Section 18.1 or Section 18.2, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”).  However, an Indemnitee’s delay in providing or failure to provide such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent it can demonstrate prejudice due to the delay or lack of notice.
18.3.2    Defense.  Upon receipt of notice under Section 18.3.1 from the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party will have the duty to either compromise or defend, at its own expense and by counsel

(reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee), such Claim.  The Indemnifying Party will promptly (and in any event not more than twenty (20) days after receipt of the Indemnitee’s original notice) notify the Indemnitee in writing that it acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to the Claim pursuant to this Article 18 (Indemnification; Insurance) and of its intention either to compromise or defend such Claim.  Once the Indemnifying Party gives such notice to the Indemnitee, (a) the Indemnifying Party will have the right to control the defense and settlement of such Claim, subject to this Section 18.3 and (b) the Indemnifying Party is not liable to the Indemnitee for the fees of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such defense, other than the Indemnitee’s reasonable expenses of investigation and cooperation.  However, the Indemnitee will have the right to employ separate counsel and to control the defense of a Claim at its own expense.
18.3.3    Cooperation.  The Indemnitee will cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any Claim.  The Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnitee informed on a reasonable and timely basis as to the status of such Claim (to the extent the Indemnitee is not participating in the defense of such Claim) and conduct the defense of such Claim in a prudent manner.
18.3.4    Settlement.  If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Claim, no compromise or settlement of such Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnitee’s written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), unless: (a) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnitee; (b) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; and (c) the Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement are not adversely affected.  If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume defense of a Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnitee may settle such Claim on such terms as it deems appropriate with the consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), and the Indemnifying Party will be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for such settlement as provided in this Article 18.
18.4    Insurance.  Supplier shall maintain Commercial General Liability insurance for e.g. corporate property, drug, drug substance, recall and logistics during the Term, but in no event shall such insurance be in an amount less than [***] per occurrence/annual aggregate during the Term.  In addition, during the term of Commercialization of any Commercial Product and for a period of at least [***] thereafter, Supplier shall maintain Product Liability and Professional Liability insurance in an amount not less than [***] per occurrence and annual aggregate that covers occurrences during the period in which there is any Commercialization of Commercial Product and, if such policy is a claims-made policy, for a period of at least [***] thereafter.  Supplier shall provide a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage to Myovant upon its written request.  Supplier shall notify Myovant [***] in advance of cancelation of any such insurance.  
18.5    No Consequential or Punitive Damages.  NEITHER PARTY HERETO WILL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR MULTIPLE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXERCISE OF ITS RIGHTS HEREUNDER OR FOR ANY LOSS OR INJURY TO THE OTHER PARTY’S PROFITS OR GOODWILL ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF SUCH DAMAGES.  THIS SECTION 18.5 DOES NOT APPLY TO A BREACH OF A PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 16 (CONFIDENTIALITY) OR TO A PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION 18.1 (INDEMNIFICATION BY MYOVANT) AND 18.2 (INDEMNIFICATION BY SUPPLIER).
18.6    Limitation of Liability.  Except for violations of law, fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, a breach of its obligations of confidentiality and non-use, or its indemnity obligations, Supplier’s liability to Myovant under this Agreement for any and all claims for losses (whether grounded in contract, tort, indemnity or otherwise) shall not exceed [***] prior to the date such claim or loss first arose.

ARTICLE 19
TERM AND TERMINATION
19.1    Term.  This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until the [***] of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”).  At the end of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall continue automatically for additional [***] periods (each, a “Renewal Term,” and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”) under the same terms and conditions until terminated in accordance with the terms hereof or until a Party provides at least [***] written notice of non-renewal to the other Party prior to expiration of the then-current Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable.
19.2    Termination.
19.2.1    Termination for Material Breach.  Either Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in the event that the other Party commits a material breach of this Agreement and such other Party fails to cure such breach within [***] of receiving a notice of default from the non-defaulting Party, by giving a notice of termination to such other Party (after expiration of such cure period, if applicable), with the termination to take effect on the date specified therein.
19.2.2    Termination for Bankruptcy.  Either Party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other Party upon occurrence of any of the following events: (a) a voluntary petition of bankruptcy is filed by the other Party in any court of competent jurisdiction; (b) an involuntary petition for bankruptcy of the other Party is filed by such Party’s creditors in any court of competent jurisdiction and is not vacated within [***] after filing; (c) a receiver is appointed or applied for to manage any part of a Party’s assets related to this Agreement; or (d) this Agreement is assigned by the other Party for the benefit of its creditors.
19.3    Consequences of Termination.
19.3.1    Termination of this Agreement by Myovant for Supplier’s Material Breach or Bankruptcy.  If this Agreement is terminated by Myovant pursuant to Section 19.2.1 (Termination for Material Breach) or Section 19.2.2 (Termination for Bankruptcy), then Myovant may elect to cancel any Purchase Order(s) without any liability for amounts due thereunder and will be released from any liability for any Firm Orders then in effect for Product(s). 
19.3.2    Termination of this Agreement by Supplier for Myovant’s Material Breach or Bankruptcy.  If this Agreement is terminated by Supplier pursuant to Section 19.2.1 (Termination for Material Breach) prior to a final, binding determination that Myovant materially breached this Agreement or pursuant to Section 19.2.2 (Termination for Bankruptcy), then Supplier shall continue to supply Product(s) pursuant to this Agreement until the Technology Transfer Plan is complete or a Third Party supplier is able to Manufacture and supply Product(s) to Myovant in sufficient quantity and quality to replace Supplier’s obligations under this Agreement, whichever occurs first. However, the start of production of such Products shall be subject to an upfront payment to be made by Myovant including the cost of any raw materials and intermediates used for the production and the price of the Products itself. 
19.3.3    Transition of Manufacturing.  Upon the expiration or any termination of the Agreement, the Parties will discuss in good faith the transition of Manufacture and supply activities of the Product(s).  Upon reasonable request by Myovant, Supplier may assist so far as reasonably needed in the transition by participating in the technology transfer activities to Myovant or Myovant’s third party supplier.  Such activities by Supplier shall be limited to documentation and consulting services and at all times, Myovant shall remain the owner and assessor of the transfer.  Such activities by Supplier will be at Myovant’s expense unless the MSA is terminated for cause solely attributable to Supplier.
19.4    Survival of Obligations.  Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not relieve a Party of any obligation to make a payment that was owed prior to or on the effective date of such termination, including amounts invoiced prior to such termination or expiration, nor prejudice either Party’s right to obtain performance of any obligation provided for in this Agreement that expressly survives termination or expiration.  All provisions of this Agreement that, in accordance with their terms, are intended to have effect after the expiration or termination of this Agreement shall survive such termination or expiration, including Sections 3.13.1, 3.2(a), 3.4, 17.2.4, 19.3, this 19.4, and 19.5 and Articles 1, 6 (solely to the extent necessary to fulfill any obligation to a Regulatory Authority after termination or expiration), 10, 12, 14, 15, 16 (for the period specified in Section 16.1), 18 and 20.

ARTICLE 20
GENERAL PROVISIONS
20.1    Force Majeure Event.

Such excusal shall be continued so long as the condition constituting a Force Majeure Event continues and the nonperforming Party takes reasonable efforts to mitigate the condition.  If a Force Majeure Event persists for more than ninety (90) days, the Parties will discuss in good faith the modification of the Parties’ obligations under this Agreement in order to mitigate the delays caused by such Force Majeure Event.

20.3    Dispute Resolution. 
20.3.1    Exclusive Dispute Resolution Mechanism.  The Parties agree that the procedures set forth in this Section 20.3 will be the exclusive mechanism for resolving disputes, actions, claims, controversies, suits, or proceedings between the Parties arising in whole or in part out of, related to, based upon or in connection with this Agreement, the Quality Agreement or the subject matter of either (each, a “Dispute”, and collectively, the “Disputes”).
20.3.2    Resolution by Executive Officers.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 20.3.2, in the event of any Dispute that is not resolved, the Parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by negotiation and consultation between themselves on an informal basis for a period of ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written notice of such Dispute by a Party.  If such Dispute is not resolved by the Parties’ informal discussions within such ten (10) Business Day period, either Party may, by written notice to the other Party, refer the Dispute to the senior executive officer (or his or her delegate) (each, an “Executive Officer”) of the other Party for attempted resolution by good faith negotiation within ten (10) Business Days

after such notice is received.  Each Party may, in its sole discretion, seek resolution of any and all Disputes that are not resolved under this Section 20.3.2 in accordance with Section 20.3.3.
20.3.3    Arbitration.  If the Parties are unable resolve a given Dispute pursuant to Section 20.3.2 within ten (10) Business Days of referring such dispute to the Executive Officers, either Party may have the given Dispute settled by binding arbitration in the manner described below:
(a)    Arbitration Request.  If a Party intends to begin an arbitration to resolve a dispute arising under this Agreement, such Party shall provide written notice (the “Arbitration Request”) to the other Party of such intention and the issues for resolution.  From the date of the Arbitration Request and until such time as the dispute has become finally settled, the running of the time periods as to which a Party must cure a breach of this Agreement becomes suspended as to the subject matter of the dispute.
(b)    Additional Issues.  Within ten (10) days after the receipt of the Arbitration Request, the other Party may, by written notice, add additional issues for resolution.
(c)    Arbitration Procedure.  Except as expressly provided herein, the sole mechanism for resolution of any claim, dispute or controversy arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement or the breach or alleged breach thereof shall be arbitration by the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) in New York, USA, or in such other venue as the Parties agree, under New York law except as provided herein.  All proceedings shall be held in English and a transcribed record prepared in English.  The Parties shall choose, by mutual agreement, one arbitrator within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of the intent to arbitrate.  If no arbitrator is appointed within the times herein provided or any extension of time that is mutually agreed on, the ICC shall make such appointment within thirty (30) days of such failure.  The award rendered by the arbitrator shall not include costs of arbitration, attorneys’ fees or costs for expert and other witnesses.  Within forty-five (45) days of initiation of arbitration, the Parties shall reach agreement upon and thereafter follow procedures directed at assuring that the arbitration will be concluded and the award rendered within no more than six (6) months from selection of the arbitrator.  Failing such agreement, the ICC will design and the Parties will follow procedures directed at meeting such a time schedule.  The arbitrator (i) shall not have any power or authority to add to, alter, amend or modify the terms of this Agreement but shall specify rules sufficient to allow reasonable discovery by the Parties; (ii) shall establish and enforce appropriate rules to ensure that the proceedings, including the decision, be kept confidential and that all Confidential Information of the Parties be kept confidential and be used for no purpose other than the arbitration; (iii) shall have the power to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and conditions hereof in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity; and (iv) shall issue all decisions in writing.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed as preventing either Party from seeking injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) from any court having jurisdiction over the Parties and the subject matter of the dispute as necessary to protect either Party’s name, proprietary information, trade secrets, know-how or any other proprietary right or otherwise to avoid irreparable harm.  If the issues in dispute involve scientific or technical matters, any arbitrator chosen hereunder shall have educational training and/or experience sufficient to demonstrate a reasonable level of knowledge in the field of biotechnology.  Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
20.4    Audits. 
20.4.1    Facility Audits.  In addition, in accordance with the Quality Agreement, Myovant shall have the right, upon at least [***] notice to Supplier, and such date to be reasonably agreed upon by the Parties, either by itself or through independent outside auditors or consultants, not more than once per Calendar Year during the Term of this Agreement, unless reasonable cause is shown, to inspect and audit, at its sole expense and during normal business hours and in a manner that does not interfere unreasonably with operations, any areas in the Facility or any other Manufacturing facilities in which any portion of the Manufacturing, packaging or other activities with respect to any Product(s) is performed, including any Regulatory Materials and other information reasonably related to the subject matter set forth herein located at the Facility or such Manufacturing facility.  The information obtained during the course of such audit shall be considered Confidential Information and subject to Article 16. 
20.5    Relationship of the Parties.  It is expressly agreed that Supplier, on the one hand, and Myovant, on the other hand, will be independent contractors and that the relationship between the two Parties will not constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency.  Neither Supplier nor Myovant will have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action which will be binding on the other, without the prior written consent of the other Party to do so.  All persons employed by a Party will be employees of that Party and not of the other Party and all expenses and obligations incurred by reason of such employment will be for the account and expense of such Party.

20.6    Designation of Affiliates.  Each Party may discharge any obligations and exercise any rights hereunder through delegation of its obligations or rights to any of its Affiliates.  Each Party hereby guarantees the performance by its Affiliates of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement, and will cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance.  Any breach by a Party’s Affiliate of any of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement will be a breach by such Party, and the other Party may proceed directly against such Party without any obligation to first proceed against such Party’s Affiliate.
20.7    Assignment.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns.  Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that each Party may, without the other Party’s prior written consent: (a) assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to its Affiliate or, in the case of Myovant, to its licensee, provided that any assignment by Supplier to an Affiliate must occur in connection with the sale or other transfer to such Affiliate of all or substantially all of the assets of the business to which this Agreement relates; and (b) assign this Agreement to its successor in connection with the sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the business to which this Agreement relates (whether such transaction occurs by way of a sale of assets, merger, consolidation or similar transaction).  Any successor or assignee of rights or obligations permitted hereunder will, in writing to the other Party, expressly assume performance of such rights or obligations.  Any permitted assignment will be binding on the successors of the assigning Party.  Any assignment or attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the terms of this Section 20.7 will be null, void and of no legal effect.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Quality Agreement, this Agreement may only be assigned to an assignee to whom the Quality Agreement is assigned at the same time, and the Quality Agreement may only be assigned to an assignee to whom this Agreement is assigned at the same time.  For clarity, any assignment by Supplier under this Section 20.7 shall not result in any change to the requirement that Supplier (including its assignee) shall Manufacture the Product(s) only at the Facility in accordance with Section 5.1.
20.8    Severability.  If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be or is taken, the provision will be considered severed from this Agreement and will not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof.  The Parties will make a good faith effort to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.
20.9    Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies.  Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver will be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition.  The waiver by either Party hereto of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party will not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by such other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise.  The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by Applicable Law or otherwise available except as expressly set forth herein.
20.10    Construction; Rules of Construction.  Interpretation of this Agreement will be governed by the following rules of construction: (a) words in the singular will be held to include the plural and vice versa, and words of one gender will be held to include the other gender as the context requires; (b) references to the terms “Section”, “Exhibit”, or “Schedule” are to a Section, Exhibit, or Schedule of this Agreement unless otherwise specified; (c) the terms “hereof’, “hereby”, “hereto”, and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement; (d) references to “€” or “Euros” will mean the currency of the Eurozone; (e) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement will mean “including without limitation,” unless otherwise specified; (f) the word “or” will not be exclusive; (g) references to “written” or “in writing” include in electronic form; (h) the titles and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement; (i) each of the Parties has participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and if an ambiguity or question of interpretation should arise, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or burdening either Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions in this Agreement or any interim drafts of this Agreement; (j) the word “shall” will be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “will”; (k) references to “days” will mean calendar days, unless otherwise specified; and (l) a reference to any Person includes such Person’s successors and permitted assigns.
20.11    Further Assurance.  Each Party will duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts and things, including the filing of such assignments, agreements, documents, and instruments, as may be necessary or as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with this Agreement or to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes hereof.
