Prices by the deadlines set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, then the Supply Prices shall be [***].

 

2.3                               Supply Price Adjustments to Reflect Costs.  In addition to the Supply Price increases set forth in Section 2.2, Manufacturer shall be entitled to adjust Supply Prices for Products to reflect any significant increases [***] in the aggregate costs of the Raw Materials, or fees of any third party contractor incurred by Manufacturer, as compared to the then-current costs or fees, and after good faith discussion with Purchaser. Such Supply Price increases shall be applicable to any and all orders placed more than [***] after Manufacturer has notified Purchaser in writing of (a) the increase in costs or fees and (b) the increased Supply Prices for the Products that reflect such increase in costs or fees. Purchaser shall be entitled to request that an independent certified accountant verify the accuracy of any such increases and adjustments to the Supply Price.

 

2.4                               Samples.

Purchaser with Seller’s forecast of finished Product for Distribution in the United States during the [***] period beginning on the Effective Date, including the Product packaging schedule based on existing purchase orders (the “Initial Forecast”).  The first (1st) [***] of the Initial Forecast shall be binding on Purchaser, meaning that Purchaser shall purchase all quantities of stock keeping units produced in accordance with such Initial Forecast as reasonably required for the forecasted quantities of Products for such [***] period.  Within [***] after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall provide Manufacturer with an updated Initial Forecast and Manufacturer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet such updated Initial Forecast; provided, however, no changes shall be made to the first [***] of the Initial Forecast.

 

3.2                               Updated Rolling Forecast for Products.

 

(a)                                 Beginning [***], Purchaser shall provide to Manufacturer, no later than [***], an updated forecast of its requirements of Products for Distribution in the United States during the following [***] period (the “Rolling Forecast”) starting with the month following the month during which such Rolling Forecast was provided.

 

(b)                                 The Rolling Forecast shall be divided in [***] consecutive three (3) month periods (each, a “Quarter”) starting with the month following the month during which such Rolling Forecast was provided.  The [***] of the Rolling Forecast shall be binding (the “Binding Period”).  The forecast for the Binding Period shall be provided in monthly quantities of number of packs of stock keeping units.  The [***] Quarters of the Rolling Forecast shall be semi-binding (the “Semi-Binding Period”), meaning that, in the next Rolling Forecast, Purchaser may increase or decrease the quantities forecasted [***].  Manufacturer shall use [***] efforts to plan the manufacture of Products to meet Purchaser’s forecast for the Semi-Binding Period.  The forecast for the Semi-Binding Period shall be provided in monthly quantities of number of packs of stock keeping units.  The [***] Quarters of the Rolling Forecast are considered to be non-binding (the “Non-Binding Period”).  The forecast for the Non-Binding Period shall be provided in quarterly quantities of number of packs of specific stock keeping units.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that Manufacturer’s application to the DEA for DEA Procurement Quota for each calendar year will be based on Purchaser’s Forecast for Products for distribution in the United States for such calendar year and Seller’s (and its Affiliates’) forecasts for Seller Products for distribution outside the United States for such calendar year.  Promptly after the DEA grants a DEA Procurement Quota to Manufacturer for any calendar year, Manufacturer will allocate such DEA Procurement Quota between Purchaser and Seller (and its Affiliates) in proportion to the forecasts used to prepare the application for such DEA Procurement Quota, and will notify Purchaser of the portion of such

DEA Procurement Quota allocated to Purchaser (such portion, the “Purchaser DEA Procurement Quota”).  Notwithstanding anything to this contrary in this Section 3.2, the quantities set forth in the Rolling Forecast shall not exceed the Purchaser DEA Procurement Quota for the applicable calendar year.  If, after Manufacturer notifies Purchaser of the Purchaser DEA Procurement Quota for any calendar year, Purchaser demonstrates that an increase to such Purchaser DEA Procurement Quota is warranted by demand, Manufacturer will cooperate with Purchaser to apply to the DEA for an increase to the DEA Procurement Quota for such calendar year and, if necessary to satisfy the requested increase to the DEA Procurement Quota, an increase to the DEA Manufacturing Quota granted to Noramco for such calendar year and an increase to the DEA Aggregate Production Quota for such calendar year.  Any requested increases to the DEA Procurement Quota, DEA Manufacturing Quota and DEA Aggregate Production Quota shall be subject to the approval of the DEA and shall be sought in accordance with DEA regulations, rules and procedures.  If the DEA approves an increase to the DEA Procurement Quota (and any corresponding increase to the DEA Manufacturing Quota and DEA Aggregate Production Quota) sought in accordance with this Section 3.2(b), then: (i) the approved increase to the DEA Procurement Quota shall be added to the Purchaser DEA Procurement Quota for the applicable calendar year, (ii) Manufacturer may initiate the additional manufacture of Product (and, if necessary, request that Noramco initiate the manufacture of, or supply, the additional API needed for such additional Product) to satisfy the increase in the Purchaser DEA Procurement Quota, and (iii) Purchaser may update the Rolling Forecast to reflect the increased Purchaser DEA Procurement Quota.  For the sake of clarity, in no event shall Manufacturer be required to apply any portion of the DEA Procurement Quota to the manufacture of Products for Purchaser other than the Purchaser DEA Procurement Quota.

 

(c)                                  During the period prior to the effective date of the label change contemplated by Section 1.1(c), Purchaser and Manufacturer shall cooperate to minimize the number of Products packaged in Manufacturer’s trade dress and to maximize the number of Products packaged in Purchaser’s trade dress, which may include, without limitation, reasonable changes to existing Purchase Orders, the Binding Periods and Semi-Binding Periods and Purchase Orders with quantities below the Minimum Order Quantity.

 

3.3                               Purchase Orders for Products.

 

(a)                                 On the Effective Date, Purchaser agrees to accept and be bound by existing purchase orders covering the currently effective Binding Period for Products not yet manufactured and for Distribution in the United States submitted by Seller and present in Manufacturer’s purchase order

system.

 

(b)                                 Purchaser shall deliver to Manufacturer, together with each Rolling Forecast, but in any event no later than [***] prior to the requested delivery date, a written purchase order for the Products during the months covered by the Binding Period of such Rolling Forecast (each, a “Purchase Order”).  Purchaser shall issue a Purchase Order by written or electronic means (or by any other means agreed to by the Parties), stating (i) the quantity of each of the Products ordered and (ii) the desired date of delivery.

 

3.4                               Minimum Order Quantities.  Manufacturer shall not be obligated to accept Purchase Orders for quantities of any Product that are less than the “Minimum Order Quantity” for such Product set forth in the table below; provided, however, Manufacturer will reasonably consider accepting such Purchase Orders submitted prior to the effective date of the label change pursuant to Section 1.1(c), as outlined in Section 3.2(c).

3.5                               Order Confirmation and Rejection.  Manufacturer shall confirm, reject or otherwise respond to Purchaser within [***] after receipt of any Purchase Order.  Manufacturer shall not unreasonably refuse any Purchase Order and, except as expressly provided herein, Manufacturer shall timely provide Purchaser with the required quantities of Products as indicated in a confirmed Purchase Order.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manufacturer shall have the right to reject any Purchase Order for quantities of Products that are different from the quantities as forecasted by Purchaser in the Binding Period of the Forecast.

 

3.6                               Order Cancellation.  If Purchaser cancels a Purchase Order, or any part thereof, [***] or less prior to Manufacturer’s planned packaging date of the Products covered by such Purchase Order, then Manufacturer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to utilize, for other manufacturing and packaging activities, the manufacturing and packaging capacities in Manufacturer’s Facility that would have been used to manufacture and package the amounts of Products covered by such Purchase Order, or part thereof, that was cancelled. If Manufacturer, in spite of using commercially reasonable efforts, cannot utilize such manufacturing and packaging capacities, Manufacturer will charge Purchaser and Purchaser will pay a fee of [***] of the Supply Prices for the cancelled Products.

 

3.7                               Raw Materials.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, in order for Manufacturer to meet its obligation to supply Products under this Supply Agreement, Manufacturer must order Raw Materials in accordance with defined lead times and any minimum order quantities imposed by third party vendors. Manufacturer shall be entitled to order, and shall maintain, quantities of Raw Materials required to manufacture those Products forecasted for the Binding Period so that Manufacturer will be able to comply with Purchaser’s delivery dates for Purchaser’s actual and anticipated orders of Products. Manufacturer shall be responsible for, and shall administer on a daily basis, the procurement of the Raw Materials in accordance with the terms herein.  Manufacturer’s responsibilities in connection with the purchasing and procurement of Raw Materials from the third party vendors in accordance with the terms of this Supply Agreement shall include: ordering, purchasing, transportation, reception, inspection, release and storage of Raw Materials.

 

3.8                               Reimbursement for Unused Raw Materials.  To the extent Manufacturer has purchased Raw Materials in accordance with Section 3.7, but subsequent to such purchase and prior to the

conversion of any Raw Materials into Products, Purchaser either cancels a Purchase Order or does not issue a Purchase Order in accordance with the Binding Period of a Rolling Forecast or informs Manufacturer that it no longer desires to have Manufacturer use such Raw Materials in any Products, Manufacturer shall first use good faith efforts to return such Raw Materials to applicable third party vendors and receive a credit for such purchase.  If the third party vendor refuses to accept such Raw Materials and provide Manufacturer with a credit, then Manufacturer shall invoice Purchaser for the cost of such Raw Materials within [***] of Purchaser cancelling a Purchase Order or not issuing a Purchase Order in accordance with the Binding Period of a Rolling Forecast or informing Manufacturer that it no longer desires to have Manufacturer use such Raw Materials in any Products and Purchaser shall pay such invoice within [***] after receipt. After receipt of payment for such Raw Materials, Manufacturer shall either ship or destroy such Raw Materials, as directed by Purchaser.  Purchaser shall reimburse Manufacturer for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses relating to the shipment or destruction of such Raw Materials.

 

3.9                               Conflicts.  To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between this Supply Agreement and any Purchase Order, purchase order release, confirmation, acceptance or any similar document, the terms of this Supply Agreement shall govern.

to assist Purchaser in obtaining any Regulatory Approval with respect to Purchaser’s manufacture of Products, but only to the extent that such documentation is pre-existing or can be easily obtained or gathered by Manufacturer; and

 

(vi)                              providing expert advice in case of unexpected results during the Technology Transfer.

 

(c)                                  Costs of Technology Transfer.  Purchaser shall be responsible for all costs of performing the Technology Transfer, except that Manufacturer shall be responsible for the costs of performing the tasks assigned to Manufacturer in the TTMTP and the costs of any activities that are solely related to the manufacture of Seller Products for Distribution in the Seller Countries (including registration, qualification and validation expenses and stability and bioequivalence studies that support only or substantially the Seller Countries); provided, however, that the Parties shall agree upon an appropriate allocation of the costs of any activities that are substantially (but not solely) related to the manufacture of Seller Products for Distribution in the Seller Countries and are also required for the manufacture of Products for Distribution in the United States.

 

(d)                                 Bioequivalence Studies.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Supply Agreement, the Parties shall seek to develop a protocol for a single bioequivalence study that satisfies the regulatory requirements in all countries for which such studies are necessary (or as many countries as possible) and shall agree upon an appropriate allocation of the costs thereof between Manufacturer and Purchaser, which protocol and allocation shall be reflected in the TTMTP.  If any bioequivalence study that is necessary to obtain Regulatory Approval in any of the Seller Countries cannot be reasonably combined as described in the foregoing sentence, then Manufacturer shall be responsible for performing such bioequivalence study at its own expense.

 

(e)                                  Additional Activities performed by Manufacturer.  Any technical or other support services with respect to the Technology Transfer not explicitly described in the TTMTP shall be considered as additional activities, which shall be performed at Manufacturer’s sole discretion.  Purchaser shall reimburse Manufacturer for any reasonable and documented personnel costs and documented out-of-pocket expenses (e.g., travel and lodging) incurred by Manufacturer in performing any such additional activities.  The hourly rate for the personnel costs shall be [***] and shall be increased each year thereafter by [***].  Such additional activities will require prior written approval by Purchaser.  For the avoidance of doubt, Manufacturer shall have no obligation to assist Purchaser with respect to any

proposed improvements or modifications to the manufacturing process of Products, except for adaptations required due to the Technology Transfer or changes initiated by Manufacturer.

 

(f)                                   Communication.  Purchaser shall, upon request of Manufacturer but at least twice per year during the Term, provide written updates to Manufacturer with respect to the status of the Technology Transfer, in such format as to be agreed between the Parties.

 

4.3                               Post-Transfer Supply Agreement.  Within [***] prior to the anticipated completion of the Technology Transfer for the ER Products or IR Products, whichever is sooner, Purchaser and Seller shall initiate negotiation of an agreement pursuant to which Purchaser shall manufacture up to [***] of Seller’s and its Affiliates’ (and its or their successors or assignees with respect to the Seller Products) requirements of Seller Products for Distribution in the Seller Countries (the “Post-Transfer Supply Agreement”).  No later than the day on which the process validation batches for the ER Products or IR Products are submitted to the appropriate Regulatory Authority in the first Seller Country, whichever is sooner, Purchaser and Seller shall execute the Post-Transfer Supply Agreement.  [***].  If requested by Seller, Purchaser shall execute separate Post-Transfer Supply Agreements with Seller or any its Affiliates (or any of its or their successors or assignees with respect to the Seller Products) for individual Seller Countries; provided, however, that the terms of any such Post-Transfer Supply Agreement shall be modified as necessary if a successor or assignee with respect to the Seller Products will be a party to any such Post-Transfer Supply Agreement and such successor or assignee will not supply API to Purchaser.

 

5.                                      Changes to Products
