 3.2 Validation of Cvtec Manufacturing Process . As provided in Appendix A, Supplier shall
manufacture ORPHAN’S three (3) consecutive Production Batches of the Drug in accordance with the pre-approved Validation Protocol for validation purposes. 
 Supplier and ORPHAN will jointly review all process development and analytical test results, the Validation Protocol, and stability study results prior to manufacture of each Validation Batch. 
 3.3 Re-Validation of Larger Scale Batches. Supplier shall have the option to manufacture three additional commercial Validation Batches using
larger scale equipment judged to be regulatorily appropriate by Supplier and ORPHAN, conduct appropriate validation testing, and prepare an updated Process Validation Report to improve manufacturing cost. Costs associated with efforts required for
completion of such ‘scale up’ activities will be included in the Manufacturing Cost of the commercial quantities produced subsequent to the scaleup and within the first Contract Year thereafter. 
 If the larger scale Validation Batches may be sold commercially by ORPHAN and, if such Validation Batches meet the Specifications and the acceptance criteria set forth
in the Validation Protocol at the time of FDA approval of a product containing the Drug, the Drug shall be sold, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, by Supplier to ORPHAN in fulfillment of ORPHAN’S orders for the Drug. 
 3.4 Defective Or Deficient Validation Batches. If any of the Validation Batches do not meet the Specifications and the acceptance criteria set
forth in the Validation Protocol, Supplier shall, at its own expense, for a reasonable period of time not to exceed ninety (90) days, make necessary modifications to its facilities, equipment, processes and/or procedures and, after such
modifications, shall manufacture one or more additional Validation Batches which will meet the Specifications and the acceptance criteria set forth in the Validation Protocol. If ORPHAN concludes that such modifications cannot be made effectively
and promptly or if the additional Validation Batches still do not 

  

 Page 10 of 56 









 
meet the Specifications and the acceptance criteria set forth in the Validation Protocol, ORPHAN may terminate this Agreement upon written Notification to
Supplier in accordance with Article 15 of this Agreement. 
  

					
	ARTICLE 4	  	MARKETING RIGHTS	  	

 4.1 ORPHAN shall have the exclusive right, directly or through any Affiliate, to market,
distribute and sell the Drug or any product containing the Drug in the Territory, if the required Registrations have been obtained and if ORPHAN determines in its business judgment to do so. Supplier shall not market, distribute, make or sell the
Drug or any product containing the Drug, directly or indirectly anywhere in the Territory and, except in the performance of its duties under this agreement, Supplier shall not reference or otherwise utilize any DMF or other filing made by Supplier
on ORPHAN’S behalf unless required by a governmental agency or reference or otherwise utilize any data or information contained in such filing. 
  

					
	ARTICLE 5	  	SUPPLY OF PRODUCT	  	

 5.1 Material Safety Data Sheets. Prior to commencement of development or manufacturing
operations hereunder, ORPHAN shall provide Supplier with a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and toxicity information for the Drug and any other information reasonably available to ORPHAN which relates to the safe conduct of the manufacturing and/or
packaging operations to be conducted by Supplier. When and as such information becomes available, ORPHAN shall promptly update such information pertinent to the manufacture and/or packaging of the Drug. 
 5.2 Manufacture and Supply. During the term of this Agreement, ORPHAN shall purchase from Supplier, and Supplier shall supply ORPHAN and its
Affiliates their requirements of the Drug for sale or other distribution in the Territory. Supplier and Orphan agree to cooperate closely to ensure that the Drug meets FDA, European, and Japanese standards and specifications. The International
Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines will be followed for development and manufacturing decisions. 
  

 Page 11 of 56 









 Supplier commits to provide the following kilograms per year for the first three years and will use best efforts to
provide any additional quantities that are required: 
 Year 1 - 75,000 kilograms 
 Year 2 - 150,000 kilograms 
 Year 3 -
250,000 kilograms 
 In the event Supplier is not able to provide quantities required that exceed those stated above, Supplier will no longer be the
exclusive supplier in the Territory and will provide technology transfer support per the terms of 5.6 below, to a second supplier chosen by Orphan. 
 Supplier shall provide or purchase all materials and supplies necessary to manufacture the Drug. Supplier shall manufacture the Drug in accordance with the Specifications, the Validation Protocol and applicable cGMPs and shall package,
label and/or otherwise prepare the Drug for bulk delivery to an ORPHAN-designated drug product manufacturer. 
 5.3 Packaging.
Supplier shall furnish all packaging supplies and labels for the Drugs after such materials have been approved by ORPHAN prior to use. All such packaging and labels shall conform to applicable requirements and regulations of FDA or other regulatory
authorities in the Territory. Packaging supplies and labels furnished by Supplier hereunder shall be timely approved by ORPHAN prior to use. 
 5.4 Qualification of Alternate Supplier Manufacturing Site. Supplier will develop a plan for qualification of an alternate Supplier site for manufacture of the Drug within one year of FDA approval of the Drug. If the plan allows for
preparation to manufacture in 120 days or less, it will not be executed prior to determination of need. If the timeline for provision of the Drug from an alternate site is greater than 120 days, one year after approval of the Drug for commercial use
by the FDA, Supplier agrees to take such actions as are reasonably necessary to qualify a second Supplier manufacturing site in addition to the current facility at Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. Supplier will provide regulatory documentation of
processes or activities as required by each country of the Territory within which ORPHAN applies for approval of the Drug. ORPHAN will be 

  

 Page 12 of 56 









 
responsible for determining the regulatory requirements for each submission. Supplier agrees to provide any additionally required development process testing
at terms to be negotiated in good faith by the parties. 
 5.5 Conditions Requiring Backup Manufacture. Supplier agrees to support the
successful transfer of manufacturing technology as set forth in Section 5.6 to a second bulk drug manufacturer chosen by ORPHAN to make, have made, use and sell the Drug if Supplier (a) for a period of at least one hundred fifty
(150) days, is unable to manufacture substantially all of ORPHAN’S orders for any reason covered by Section 16.1 hereof, or (b) if Supplier otherwise fails or refuses to meet ORPHAN’S orders for the Drug pursuant to the
terms hereof. 
 5.6 Supplier Responsibility in Transfer of Technology to Back-Up Manufacturer. Subject to the provisions of
Section 5.5, Supplier agrees to provide information and qualified personnel (five (5) days maximum) to support the successful transfer of all analytical and manufacturing development, to include know-how and patent processes (the
“Background Technology”) and the right to reference any DMF filed with the FDA relating to the Drug. Supplier agrees to render all reasonable technical assistance to the secured contract manufacturer and to provide, at cost if requested,
sources of or supplies of raw materials necessary to manufacture the Drug. ORPHAN shall reimburse Supplier for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in rendering such technical assistance for which ORPHAN prior approval has been obtained for
each day in excess of three (3) man-days. In addition, ORPHAN and Supplier will negotiate in good faith any additional time and cost for the successful transfer of manufacture to a backup supplier. 
  

					
	ARTICLE 6	  	FORECASTS. ORDERS AND DELIVERIES	  	

 6.1 Forecasts. ORPHAN shall provide Supplier with forecasts of ORPHAN’S anticipated
quarterly requirements of the Drug for distribution and sale in the United States commencing with the twelve (12) month period that begins at the time of an FDA approval. Such forecast will be provided one year in advance of anticipated FDA
approval of the NDA and ORPHAN shall update such 12-month forecast on a quarterly 

  

 Page 13 of 56 









 
basis thereafter. Once FDA approval of the Drug is received, ORPHAN will provide Supplier, prior to the beginning of each calendar quarter, with forecasts of
its anticipated requirements of the Drug for the following four calendar quarters. Supplier will provide an annual anticipated schedule for manufacture and will consult with ORPHAN on schedule changes. 
  

	 	(a)	The forecasts provided to Supplier pursuant to this Section 6.1 are for planning purposes only and do not constitute a commitment by ORPHAN to have such or any quantity of Drug
manufactured by Supplier or a commitment by Supplier to manufacture any quantity of the Drug for ORPHAN during the calendar year. 

  

	 	(b)	Supplier shall not be required, but will attempt in good faith, subject to its obligation to other customers, to manufacture during any calendar quarter up to one hundred fifty
percent (150%) of the quantity of the Drug ORPHAN forecasted it would purchase from Supplier during such quarter in its most recent forecast covering such quarter. Supplier will promptly communicate with ORPHAN as to its ability to produce
quantities requested. 

  

	 	(c)	When and as ORPHAN proposes to commence its distribution and sale of the Drug outside the United States, ORPHAN shall supplement its 12- month forecast accordingly to indicate the
additional requirements of the Drug for such purposes. 

  

	 	(d)	 Supplier acknowledges that accurate forecasts of requirements are inherently difficult for a new pharmaceutical product. ORPHAN acknowledges that if it orders
substantially less than forecasted quantities, this can cause hardship to Supplier if it is obligated to reserve capacity needlessly for ORPHAN’S requirements and, as a consequence, foregoes other opportunities. Accordingly, if Supplier
anticipates competing demands for its capacity, it will inform ORPHAN at least ninety (90) days in advance, in which case ORPHAN shall have the opportunity to deliver to Supplier a firm commitment for a six-month supply (a “Six Month
Commitment”). The consequences of delivery of a Six Month Commitment are that during such six-month period (i) ORPHAN shall be required to purchase not less than 



  

 Page 14 of 56 










	 	 
80% of the amount set forth in the Six Month Commitment and (ii) Supplier shall be required to manufacture not more than 120% of such amount. If ORPHAN
does not deliver a Six Month Commitment, Supplier may accept other opportunities to use its production capacity, but will nevertheless use its best efforts to produce the Drug in accordance with ORPHAN’S purchase orders in a timely manner. It
is agreed that this procedure will be used on an exception basis. 


  

	 	(e)	If Supplier manufactures the Drug with a lead time of more than ninety (90) days, ORPHAN shall not be required to pay any additional storage, or pay for the Drug sooner than as
set forth in Section 7.5 nor shall any advance manufacture lead to a violation of the warranty of expiration date set forth in Section 8.1. 

 6.2 Orders. ORPHAN shall order the manufacturing of the Drug by Supplier pursuant to written purchase orders, including delivery dates, with not less than ninety (90) days lead time prior to the requested
delivery dates specified therein. Each purchase order for the Drug shall be in Production Batch sizes or whole multiples thereof. The terms contained in this Agreement shall govern over all purchase orders or sales orders of the Drug hereunder and
shall not be varied by the terms of any ORPHAN purchase order or Supplier sales order or invoice. If ORPHAN requires manufacture of the Drug with less than ninety (90) days lead time, Supplier shall use reasonable efforts to accommodate
ORPHAN’S requirements. Supplier shall not manufacture the Drug except upon receipt of an ORPHAN purchase order to ensure a supply of the Drug with the maximum expiration dating. 
 6.3 Late Manufacture and Delivery. When ORPHAN submits a purchase order at least ninety (90) days prior to the required delivery date,
Supplier shall confirm delivery upon receipt of this order and provide Orphan with a manufacturing plan detailing timing within fifteen (15) working days. Changes in this manufacturing plan which could affect the timing of deliveries will not
be made without the written agreement of ORPHAN. In the event of unexpected delays owing to manufacturing problems associated with the Drug, Supplier will inform ORPHAN immediately and action to be taken will be jointly 

  

 Page 15 of 56 









 
decided. A failure to provide supply of Drug on schedule will be considered a material breach of this Agreement and Supplier will no longer be the exclusive
supplier in the Territory and will provide technology transfer support per the terms of Section 5.6 above, to a second supplier chosen by ORPHAN. 
 6.4 Delivery of Drug. Supplier shall arrange all shipments of the Drug F.O.B. destination to an ORPHAN designated location to be determined by ORPHAN prior to or upon regulatory approval of the Drug in
accordance with reasonable commercial practices and, for shipments to be made in the United States, any applicable U.S. Department of Transportation regulations for pharmaceutical products to ensure against deterioration and damage of the Drug.
ORPHAN shall approve any final shipping specifications subject to any stability findings for the Drug. 
  

	 	(a)	Risk of loss of any shipment of the Drug shall pass to ORPHAN upon acceptance of the shipment at the approved destination. 

  

	 	(b)	ORPHAN shall pay (or reimburse) Supplier for any freight charges, taxes, packing costs, export or import duties, and insurance costs incurred by Supplier. Supplier may invoice
ORPHAN for any freight charges, taxes, packing costs, export/import duties and insurance costs relating to shipment of the Drug paid by Supplier for ORPHAN’S account immediately upon each shipment of the Drug, provided all such charges or costs
fall within the terms and conditions established by ORPHAN with the carrier for such shipment. 

  

	 	(c)	ORPHAN reserves the right to select one or more carriers for shipment of the Drug and to negotiate the terms and conditions for such shipment. Risk of loss of any shipment of the
Drug would then pass to ORPHAN upon Supplier’s tender of such shipment to the carrier selected by ORPHAN. 

  

	 	(d)	The quantity of Drug in any shipment may vary from the quantity reflected in the purchase order for such shipment by up to five percent (5%) and still be deemed to be in
compliance with such purchase order; provided, however, that ORPHAN shall only be invoiced and required to pay for the quantity actually shipped. 

  

	 	(e)	 All Drug shall be shipped in bulk a) using suitable packaging as provided for 



  

 Page 16 of 56 










	 	 
in the approved NDA, or in other regulatory approvals obtained in the Territory, and b) in accordance with such other contract specifications as may be
mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto. 


 6.5 Finished Bulk Inventory Storage. Supplier agrees to store Drug
manufactured for ORPHAN, in quantities of up to 60,000 kg for no longer than three (3) months beyond the purchase order delivery date according to the requirements established through conduct of a stability study program as outlined in Appendix
D at a charge included in the Drug Price. ORPHAN will be billed for storage beyond three months at a cost to be negotiated in good faith upon FDA approval. Supplier shall have no responsibility for deterioration of Drug stored in accordance with
such requirements. 
 6.6 Certifications. For each Validation Batch and upon request for Production Batches of the Drug manufactured
for ORPHAN hereunder, Supplier shall furnish to ORPHAN at the time of its delivery copies of the following records. Originals are to be retained by Supplier: 
  

	 	(a)	representative samples of such batch for assay and other testing; 

  

	 	(b)	batch records and quality assurance data for such batch; and 

  

	 	(c)	a Certificate of Analysis that such batch conforms to the Specifications and a Certificate of Manufacture which confirms that the Drug was manufactured, tested, and delivered in
full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. 

  

					
	ARTICLE 7	  	PRICES AND PAYMENTS	  	

 7.1 First Contract Year Manufacturing Price. After completion of Stage A of the Technology
Transfer/Development Program, Supplier will quote the Drug Price that ORPHAN shall pay to Supplier for any orders of the Drug manufactured during the first Contract Year (including, if applicable, Validation Batches and any quantities ordered prior
to the first Contract Year) as set forth in the Validation Protocol. The Drug Price for the first Contract Year shall be no higher than the maximum Drug Price estimate set forth in Appendix H for the volume range which is appropriate unless
assumptions listed in 

  

 Page 17 of 56 









 
Appendix H are no longer valid. The Drug Price for the first Contract Year will be lower than the maximum Drug Price estimate contained in Appendix H to the
extent that there are improvements in the Manufacturing Cost thereof from the assumptions for Manufacturing Costs set forth in Appendix H and determined during the Technology Transfer/Development Program for the volume range appropriate. 

7.2 Annual Price Adjustment Notification. At least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the first Contract Year of this Agreement and each
Contract Year thereafter, Supplier shall notify ORPHAN of the proposed Drug Price for the next succeeding Contract Year provided, however, that the proposed Drug Price for each new Contract year shall be equal to the then current price increased or
decreased by the percentage amount of the actual increase or decrease in the Manufacturing Cost for the Drug from the first day to the last day of the preceding twelve (12) month period; provided, however, (a) that the percentage amount of
any such increase in Manufacturing Cost may not exceed the percentage increase in the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods, (PPI) issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, or comparable successor index, during the twelve
(12) month period ending with the most recent month for which published monthly statistics are available as of the first day of such new price year, and (b) that ORPHAN will receive prior notification. Any increase or decrease in Drug
Price shall be applicable only to those Production Batches of the Drug for which the production process is begun after the change in cost becomes effective and shall remain in effect until another price change becomes applicable. 
 In the event the cost of methanol increases by more than 50% within a single contract year, the Drug Price may be adjusted by the amount of the actual increase for that
year. Likewise, if the cost of methanol decreases by more than 50% within a single contract year, the Drug Price will be adjusted down by the amount of the actual decrease for that year. Any adjustments made as a result of methanol price increases
or decreases are separate from and in addition to the annual price adjustments described above. 
 7.3 Justification of Price
Increases. Supplier shall substantiate, upon ORPHAN’S request, Supplier’s price increases for the Drug for any Contract Year. 

  

 Page 18 of 56 









 
Supplier shall keep full and accurate books and records of account containing all particulars that may be necessary for the purpose of calculating the
Manufacturing Cost of the Drug, including Supplier’s Acquisition Cost for any raw materials used in manufacturing the Drug. ORPHAN may, upon reasonable notice to Supplier and at ORPHAN’S expense, have an independent public accountant
reasonably acceptable to Supplier conduct, during normal business hours, an examination of Supplier’s books and records to verify the basis of such increases of the Drug Price for any Contract Year or Contract Years. If Supplier has increased
Drug Price based on a claimed increase in Manufacturing Cost to ORPHAN in excess of five percent (5%) above what such independent certified public accountant finds to be justifiable for any Contract Year, or Contract Years, Supplier shall
reimburse ORPHAN’S reasonable cost and expenses of such examination. In no event shall the Manufacturing Cost with respect to any period be audited more than once. The independent public accountant used to conduct such audit shall enter into a
confidentiality agreement satisfactory to Supplier and shall provide ORPHAN only with its conclusions. 
 7.4 Cost Reductions Through
Process Improvements. To encourage active and open consideration of Manufacturing Cost reductions, it is agreed that 65% of a cost reduction benefit will be provided to the party that determines how to reduce cost. After the pilot campaign, the
pricing offered shall be considered applicable to the process as then practiced (the “Baseline Process”). Any subsequent improvements which lead to realized manufacturing cost reductions shall be shared by Supplier and ORPHAN according to
the formula 65% to that party proposing the improvement and 35% to the other party. Proposals for improvement will be outlined in writing or communicated verbally and will detail how the improvement should be realized. In the event of improvements
developed through a joint collaboration where the originator is unclear, improvements will be shared 50% to each party. This sharing of benefits will come into effect only after (i) full amortization of the capital investment (if any) made
necessary to implement the cost improvement and (ii) full amortization of the associated development costs (including without limitation, laboratory and validation work, engineering costs, and any associated regulatory costs.) After realization
of improvements and application of this mechanism, the Baseline Process will be redefined and. the same calculation will be applied to any subsequent Manufacturing Cost reductions.

 7.5 Invoice Payment. Payment for each lot of the Drug shall be due net thirty (30) days from
the date of the invoice therefor, provided that no invoice shall be dated prior to the date of actual release of the Drug reflected therein. ORPHAN will accept title to the Drug at the earlier of (a) when risk of loss passes pursuant to
Section 6.4, and (b) the date of the payment of the invoice thereof. Supplier will retain liability for the safe keeping of the Drug until delivery of shipment FOB destination.

	ARTICLE 9	  	ACCEPTANCE. REJECTION. AND CLAIMS	  	

 9.1 Acceptance and Rejection. Each shipment shall be considered to conform to the
Specifications and the other warranties set forth in Section 8.1(b) unless ORPHAN gives Supplier notice in writing that it does not consider a particular shipment to conform, together with supporting documentation, within ninety (90) days
of receipt of such shipment (or, in the case of nonconformity that could not be reasonably discovered by ORPHAN’S analysis within thirty (30) days of such discovery). ORPHAN will analyze (or cause to be analyzed by its designated product
manufacturer) each shipment of Drug using the validated methods approved by FDA for release of Drug. Such testing will be done for acceptance or rejection of the lot. If ORPHAN gives Supplier such notice, Supplier shall thereupon be given access to
the shipment in question to conduct its own analysis thereof, and the parties will endeavor to agree amicably as to whether or not the shipment does conform to the Specifications and such other warranties and, if not, whether such non-compliance was
due any action or inaction on the part of Supplier. 
 In the event that the parties are unable to agree as to whether or not the shipment 

  

 Page 24 of 56 









 
conforms with the Specifications or other warranty, the question will be submitted to an independent quality control laboratory as the parties may mutually
agree upon. Cost for the independent quality control laboratory shall be borne by the party whose results are shown by such laboratory to have been wrong. During the pendency of a dispute that requires settlement by an independent laboratory under
this section, if requested to do so by ORPHAN, Supplier will replace the portion of such shipment under dispute until such dispute is resolved. 
 9.2 Rejected Shipments. If the nonconformity in a rejected shipment of the Drug was due to any action or inaction of ORPHAN, its carrier or its designated drug product manufacturer subsequent to delivery (F.O.B. destination) of the
Drug by Supplier, Supplier shall have no liability for such rejected shipment. If the nonconformity in a rejected shipment of the Drug was due to any action or inaction of Supplier prior to shipment delivery (F.O.B. destination), Supplier at its
cost shall either credit ORPHAN for the full Manufacturing Cost of such shipment or replace it with a conforming shipment within thirty (30) days of the notice of rejection. Such credit or replacement will be ORPHAN’S sole remedy for such
rejected Drug provided Supplier provides replacement or credit within thirty (30) days of notice of rejection. 
 9.3 Disposal;
Return Material Authorization. If ORPHAN expects to make a claim against Supplier with respect to a rejected shipment of the Drug, ORPHAN shall not dispose or allow the disposal of such Drug shipment without the express written authorization and
instructions of Supplier. ORPHAN or any ORPHAN designated drug product manufacturer shall not return any rejected shipment of the Drug to Supplier without a Return Material Authorization (“RMA”) from Supplier (Appendix F). Upon written
request of ORPHAN or the ORPHAN designated drug product manufacturer, as the case may be, Supplier shall promptly issue a RMA for any rejected shipment, provided, however, appropriate samples may be retained as evidence of the basis for such
rejection. 
 9.4 Product Recalls. Each party shall promptly notify the other party if any batch of the Drug is alleged or proven to
be the subject of a recall, market withdrawal or 

  

 Page 25 of 56 









 
correction ordered by the FDA or any other regulatory authority in the Territory. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to handle and dispose of such
recall, market withdrawal or correction; provided, however, that in the event of a disagreement as to any matters related to such recall, market withdrawal or correction, ORPHAN’S decision shall prevail. ORPHAN shall bear all the costs of any
such recall, market withdrawal or correction unless such recall, market withdrawal or correction was the result of Supplier’s breach of any of its representations and warranties set forth in Article 8 above, in which case Supplier shall bear
all costs of such recall, market withdrawal, or correction. Supplier will not bear the cost for recalls made as a result of errors that could have been detected by Orphan through acceptance and rejection testing as outlined in Article 9.

party liability claims relating thereto. 
 10.3 Indemnification Procedures. A party (the “Indemnitee”) which intends to
claim indemnification under this Article 10 shall promptly notify the other party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any action, claim or other matter in respect of which the Indemnitee or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or
Affiliates intend to claim such indemnification. The Indemnitee shall permit, and shall cause its directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates to permit, the Indemnitor, at its discretion, upon providing the Indemnitee with a written
acknowledgment of full and complete responsibility for the indemnification of the Indemnitee with respect to any such action, claim or other matter, to settle any such action, claim or other matter; and to complete control of such defense or
settlement by the Indemnitor; provided, however, that such settlement shall not adversely affect the Indemnitee’s rights hereunder or impose any obligations on the Indemnitee in addition to those set forth herein in order for it to exercise
such rights. No such action, claim or other matter shall be settled without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, and the Indemnitor shall not be responsible for any legal fees or other costs incurred other than as provided herein. The
Indemnitee, its directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates at the Indemnitor’s expense shall cooperate with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any action, claim or other matter covered by
this indemnification. The Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be represented by counsel of its own selection and at its own expense.

 APPENDIX H 
 MAXIMUM DRUG PRICE ESTIMATES 
 according to Section 7.4 
  

										
	 	  	Annual Requirement
100.000 kg and above	  	Annual Requirements
50.000-99.999 kg	  	Annual Requirements
10,000 kq-49.999 kg
	 Max. price of compound:
	  	$	25/kg	  	$	30-40/kg	  	$	45-55/kg

 Assumptions: 
 50,000 kg minimum manufactured in a single campaign 
 Vessel size 1500 gallon 
 Cycle time 18 hours or less (including drying) 
 Material purchased within 30 days of release 
 Yield >=60% 
 Raw material quality to be same as that of Cytec (Supplier agrees to conduct development testing to confirm that a lower electronic grade of GBL will
yield Drug meeting the specifications listed in Appendix •) 
 At least 2 industrial campaigns completed prior to this volume manufacture
to allow optimization DEA classification 4 
 There is a remaining uncertainty of approx. $2/kg due to unknown waste treatment costs. If waste treatment
costs do not exceed $1/kg, the $25/kg figure would apply. This will be clear after the trial production run. 
 This price includes: 
 All raw materials, processing, depreciation, overheads, profit, packaging 
 Scale up from intermediate size reactors for launch quantities to 1500 gallon or larger vessels 
 DMF (or
equivalent) modifications required 
 Delivery to US destination 
 Reasonable regulatory support to Orphan 
 Ongoing process improvement efforts with benefit sharing with
Orphan 
 Note: 
 The price ranges noted
above will be reduced if improvements are made to the process to achieve above the current 60% yield. 
 “Within range” price
variation partially depends upon reduction in waste stream treatment costs, allocation of validation work, and degree of process work completed. 
 Price for development batches includes use of GBL which meet current Cytec specifications for GBL. 
 The price ranges make the
assumption that butyrolactone is: 
  

	 	(i)	readily available at a quality sufficiently pure to meet specifications of the final product 

  

	 	(ii)	the price of this quality does not exceed that of the electronics grade butyrolactone. Current butyrolactone electronics grade is estimated to cost $4/kg.
