	INTERCEPT PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. incorporated in Delaware with company number 3565213 whose registered office is at 305 Madison Avenue, Morristown, New Jersey 07960 (“Supplier”)


	(2) 
	ADVANZ PHARMA SERVICES (UK) LIMITED a company incorporated and registered in England and Wales with number 04678629 which has its registered office at Capital House, 85 King William Street, London EC4N 7BL (“Customer”)


Supplier and Customer shall be referred to in this Agreement individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
Agreed terms
1Definitions and interpretation
In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, capitalised terms shall have the meanings given to them in Part 1 of Schedule 1 and shall be interpreted in accordance with 0 of Schedule 1.
2Conditions
	2.1
	This Agreement is conditional in all respects on Completion taking place. Notwithstanding any other provision in it, this Agreement shall not take effect (and no term in it shall have effect) until Completion takes place. On and with effect from Completion, this Agreement shall have full effect in accordance with its terms.


	2.2
	In the event that:


		(a)
	prior to Completion, the SPA is terminated or otherwise ceases to have effect (whether pursuant to its terms, by agreement of the parties to it or otherwise) (each an “SPA Termination”); or


		(b)
	Completion has not taken place on or prior to the Longstop Date (as defined in the SPA); on and with effect from the first to occur of the Longstop Date and (b) the date of such SPA Termination, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and it shall have no effect (as if void when first entered into).


	2.3
	On and after automatic termination of this Agreement, no Party to it shall have any liability to any other Party to it pursuant to its terms and/or in respect of a breach of it, whether actual or


​

1
​




​

	2.4
	contingent and whether in relation to the actual time of termination or the period prior to or following termination.


3Services
3.1The Supplier shall supply, or procure the supply of, each Service from the Completion Date:
(a)to each relevant Service Recipient on the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement;
(b)for the relevant Service Term, subject to any earlier termination of the Service in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement;
(c)in accordance with the Performance Standard; and
(d)in accordance with all Applicable Laws.
For clarity, any services to be provided by the Parties or their respective Affiliates under any other Acquisition Documents shall be provided thereunder and none of the Services provided under this Agreement shall include or overlap with any such services provided by the Parties or their respective Affiliates under any other Acquisition Documents.
	3.2
	The Supplier shall not be in breach of this Agreement and shall have no liability to the Customer (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to the extent that:


(a)its non-performance or delay in performance is caused, or materially contributed to by a Customer Cause; or
(b)the Suppliers failure to perform directly results from the required implementation of the TSA Exit Plan.
	3.3
	If a Customer Cause occurs, the Supplier shall take all reasonable steps to comply with its obligations under this Agreement as fully and promptly as possible.


	3.4
	The terms of this Agreement, except clauses 3.5, 3.6 and 21, shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect to the provision of the Reverse Services by the Customer to the Supplier, save that Schedule 4 shall set out the Parties’ understanding of the personal data to be processed by the Customer on behalf of the Supplier as a processor and clause 13.1 to 13.6 (inclusive) shall only apply as and where required in accordance with clause 13.7.


	3.5
	The Supplier acknowledges and accepts that the Customer’s obligation to provide such Reverse Services to Supplier utilizes, and is dependent upon, assets, personnel and rights that Supplier has transferred and provided to Customer and therefore is qualified and limited by the qualities, characteristics and sufficiency of such assets, personnel and rights to support and provide such Reverse Services. The Customer has no obligation to supplement with other assets or rights other than where the Customer has subsequently disposed or transferred the rights or assets transferred to the Customer. Should personnel transferred to the Customer under the SPA subsequently leave engagement with the Customer, the Customer shall use reasonable endeavours to replace the same to continue to support and provide the Reverse Services.


​

2




​

	3.6
	Within one (1) month of signing the SPA, the Parties shall discuss in good faith mutual expectations and processes regarding the Services and Reverse Services and each Party shall prepare and provide to the other Party indicative and non-binding budgets for the Services and Reverse Services, representing to the best of their knowledge and belief estimates of Charges (including estimated hours and reasonably foreseeable expenses). It is understood that the Supplier shall assist with the preparation of the Reverse Services budgets, using personnel transferring to the Customer under the SPA. The Parties shall discuss and agree upon any appropriate amendments, modifications and/or updates to the Services and Reverse Services included in Schedule 2 and Schedule 3, respectively, on or before the Completion Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Charges shall, in any event, be based on actual time spent providing the Services or Reverse Services and/or actual third party charges calculated on a Pass Through Basis and expenses shall, in any event, be based on actual expenses incurred in the provision of the Services and Reverse Services.


4Cooperation
The Customer shall and shall procure that each Service Recipient, as applicable, shall, at all times use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Supplier to facilitate the provision of the Services and promptly provide such reasonable assistance as set forth in this Agreement or otherwise may be reasonably required by the Supplier to enable it to efficiently provide the Services, including, by:
		(a)
	promptly providing all materials, documentation and information that may be reasonably necessary to this end; and


		(b)
	promptly participating in discussions regarding the provision of the Services where reasonably required by the Supplier in order to facilitate decision making (in relation to the Services),


provided, however, that such cooperation shall not unreasonably disrupt the normal operation of the Customer or a Service Recipient.
5Changes and Omitted Services
	5.1
	No change to the terms of this Agreement, except for any Regulatory Change, shall be effective unless agreed by the Parties in writing. A mutual agreement by the Parties will be required for all aspects of any requested change by either Party, including on any related implementation cost or changes to the Charges. The Steering Committee will be responsible for dealing with, and agreeing on, requested changes. Any agreed changes shall be reflected in a written amendment to this Agreement.


	5.2
	Where a governmental Authority or a change in Applicable Laws requires any change to any of the Services for any reason, the Supplier shall, subject to reasonable advance written notice and, to the extent reasonably possible, in consultation with, the Customer, be required to make that change (each such change a “Regulatory Change”) and any increased costs reasonably incurred and


​

3




​

documented by the Supplier in its provision of the Services as a result of such Regulatory Change shall be borne by the Customer.
	5.3
	The Customer shall notify the Supplier of all Regulatory Changes that relate to a territory other than the United States promptly upon becoming aware of the Regulatory Change. Thereafter, the Customer shall, upon request from the Supplier, provide such cooperation and information as the Supplier reasonably requires to understand the Regulatory Change and the requirements with respect to the Regulatory Change.


5.4Notwithstanding clause 5.2, the Supplier shall be entitled to refuse any Regulatory Change where the change:
		(a)
	presents a material concern to the Supplier with respect to its compliance with Applicable Law, including circumstances where the Customer has not provided the Supplier with sufficient cooperation and/or information to understand the Regulatory Change and/or the requirements with respect to the Regulatory Change;


		(b)
	is outside the Supplier’s technical capability or requires infrastructure that is outside the infrastructure of the Supplier; and/or


		(c)
	would cause or may cause the Supplier to breach an existing contract with a third party.


	5.5
	If, during the Term, the Customer identifies any Omitted Service, then the Customer may give notice to the Supplier in writing, giving a description of the Omitted Service and requesting that the Omitted Service be incorporated into Schedule 2 (“Omitted Services Request”).


	5.6
	If the Customer serves an Omitted Services Request, the Supplier shall provide, or procure the provision of, the Omitted Service as it they were part of the Services as soon as reasonably practicable, or as otherwise agreed by the Parties; provided however that the Supplier shall not be responsible for any delay to provide any such Omitted Service not caused by the Supplier. The Supplier and the Customer shall act reasonably and in good faith with respect to agreeing to the Charges for the Omitted Services, including for clarity by referencing the costs for the respective Omitted Services to the Supplier and/or another Supplier Group Company to or in respect to the business of the Customer and/or another Customer Group Company during the Reference Period, and any consequential revisions to the terms of this Agreement.


6Governance
	6.1
	The Parties shall maintain a steering committee (the “Steering Committee”) comprising at all times at least two (2) duly appointed non-legal technical representatives of each of the Supplier and the Customer with necessary and appropriate seniority and each Party shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that representatives of the Customer and the Supplier with the necessary operational and technical experience attend the Steering Committee, as required. The Steering Committee members shall be the reference persons of the respective Party for the performance of the Services and other activities regulated under this Agreement, as well as for the implementation of the TSA Exit Plan.


​

​

	6.2
	The Steering Committee will be responsible, inter alia, for:


		(a)
	discussing potential changes to this Agreement, the Services and the Service levels pursuant to clause 5;


		(b)
	overseeing arrangements related to this Agreement generally, with the ability to consult with other individuals within the respective groups of the Supplier and the Customer on specific points of detail;


		(c)
	discussing any extension to the Term;


		(d)
	discussing the TSA Exit Plan (including any amendments thereto);


		(e)
	discussing any adjustments of the Charges in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; and


		(f)
	addressing any issues concerning the provision of the Services or the performance of this Agreement in general before such issues are further escalated in accordance with the provisions of clause 23.1.


	6.3
	The Steering Committee will meet in person or via telephone or video conference at least once a month and more frequently as is agreed between the Parties from time to time in order to (amongst others) make determinations, discuss the Services and the Service levels and monitor the steps taken or to be taken for the implementation of the TSA Exit Plan.


7Related Service Providers
	7.1
	Without prejudice to the Supplier’s obligations to provide the Services and perform its other obligations under this Agreement, if at any time during the Term, the Supplier is required to provide any other co-operation or assistance to Related Service Providers in connection with the supply, or procuring the supply of, the Services or to enable the supply of Related Services by Related Service Providers, then the Customer or the Supplier may give notice to the other in writing, giving a description of the co-operation or assistance required and requesting that the co-operation and/or assistance be incorporated into Schedule 2 or otherwise be supplied under this Agreement (“Related Service Provider Co-operation Request”).


	7.2
	If the Customer or the Supplier serves a Related Service Provider Co-operation Request, this shall be for administrative good practice in terms of the assessment of the scope, timing and associated costs with respect to a Related Service Provider Co-operation Request and any consequential revisions to the terms of this Agreement, and the Customer acknowledges and accepts that the Supplier may, in its absolute discretion, choose to provide such other co-operation and assistance to such Related Service Providers and in connection with Related Services.


8Supplier Policies
The Customer shall comply with, and shall use reasonable endeavours to procure that its employees, agents and its other service providers and sub-contractors (other than the Supplier, and each other Supplier Group Company and Third Party Suppliers) shall comply with, all written
​

5




​

policies, standards and procedures provided by the Supplier from time to time that are reasonable and relevant to the receipt and/or use of the Services.
9Charges and Payment
	9.1
	The Supplier shall invoice the Customer for the Charges, reasonably incurred out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with providing the Services and any other amounts due to the Supplier under this Agreement, monthly in arrears. Upon request from the Customer, the Supplier shall document any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with providing the Services, from time to time.


	9.2
	For clarity, to the extent any portion of the Services are being provided by any Related Service Provider or a Third Party Supplier that is also providing other services to the Supplier that are not Related Services or Services, as applicable, then the costs for the Related Service Provider or Third Party Supplier included in the Charge for the Related Service or Service, as applicable, shall be in proportion and appropriately allocated to only that which is a reasonable allocation of the cost for providing the Related Services or Service, as applicable, without including any cost of the other services being provided to the Supplier.


	9.3
	All invoices issued by the Supplier, except to the extent disputed in good faith, shall become due and payable in full on thirty (30) calendar days end of month payment terms (i.e., at the end of the month following the month in which the invoice is received).

	All Charges are exclusive of VAT unless otherwise stated in Schedule 2.


	9.5
	All payments by the Customer or the Supplier under this Agreement shall be made in pounds sterling (£GBP) and transferred by telegraphic (or other similar) transfer to such bank account as is directed by the Customer or the Supplier (as applicable) prior to the relevant due date so that the Customer or the Supplier (as applicable) is in receipt of cleared funds in respect of such amounts on the relevant due date.


	9.6
	Where there is a requirement to convert any Charges payable under this Agreement into pounds sterling (£GBP), any such Charges shall be converted into pound sterling (£GBP) at the relevant currency rate.  For the purpose of this clause 9.6, the relevant currency rate shall mean the rate published on XE.com as at the date of the relevant invoice.


	9.7
	All amounts payable to the Customer or the Supplier under this Agreement are to be paid free and clear of (and without deduction or withholding for) any tax (including withholding, sales, use, value added and/or any other tax), duties, currency control restrictions, commissions and/or other withholdings whatsoever and the paying Party shall be solely responsible for any such tax, duties, currency control restrictions, commissions and/or other withholdings. To the extent that a Party makes, pays, deducts and/or withholds any such tax, duties, currency control restrictions, commissions and/or other withholdings (or is required to do the same), then that Party shall:


		(a)
	gross up the relevant amount payable under this Agreement so as to ensure that the other Party receives the full amount as expressed in this Agreement; and


​

6




​

		(b)
	promptly inform the other Party of the amount paid, deducted and/or withheld, and provide that other Party with such certificates and/or other documentation required by that other Party (in a form acceptable to that other Party) which evidences such payments, deductions and/or withholdings.


	9.8
	Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that the Supplier may have, in the event that the Customer fails to pay any sums due under this Agreement that are not the subject of a bona fide dispute in accordance with clause 9.9, the Supplier shall be entitled to charge interest at a rate of four per cent (4%) per annum above the base rate of the Bank of England from time to time (save that such rate of interest shall be at four per cent (4%) a year for any period when that base rate is below zero per cent (0%)) in respect of the period between the due date and the point at which the invoice is paid in full and cleared funds, which interest shall accrue day to day and be compounded monthly.


	9.9
	If the Customer has a bona fide dispute in respect of the whole or any part of any invoice issued by the Supplier, the Customer shall be entitled to withhold payment of the disputed amount, but shall pay the undisputed part in accordance with this Agreement.


	9.10
	Neither Party shall be entitled to retain or set off any Charges due by one Party to the other Party (and/or any other sums due by that Party to the other Party) against any sums due from one Party to the other Party (including the sums remitted by one Party to the other Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

	11.2
	Subject to clause 11.5, the Parties shall discuss in good faith any proposed extension of the Service Terms to be effected by mutual agreement in accordance with clause 5 and subject in any event to the TSA Exit Plan. If an extension of a Service Term is necessary for legal or regulatory reasons in circumstances where compliance with that legal or regulatory reason is dependent upon the continued provision of the Service by the Supplier and compliance could not be achieved by any person other than the Supplier, neither Party shall unreasonably withhold or delay its agreement.


	11.3
	Any extension of the Services will be on the same terms applicable under this Agreement, save as otherwise agreed between the Parties in writing and subject to the Customer’s acknowledgement and acceptance that:


		(a)
	the Supplier may apply a reasonable uplift to the Charges for the provision of any Service during any extension of a Service Term; and


​

​

		(b)
	the Customer shall be responsible for any additional one-off costs, expenses, fees, charges or commissions incurred in relation to obtaining any extension of the Service Term in respect of a Service, such as licence costs or similar.

	11.5
	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Schedule 2 and/or Schedule 3), under no circumstance shall the Service Term in respect of any Services relating to finance (including tax, treasury, accounting and accounts payable), human resources (including resourcing, reward and talent management) or product development, supply chain and quality continue for a period beyond 31 December 2022.


12Termination
	12.1
	Either Party may (without prejudice to any terms which expressly or by implication continue beyond termination) terminate this Agreement as a whole immediately at any time by written notice to the other Party if that other Party commits any material breach of its obligations under this Agreement which is irremediable or if remediable is not remedied in all material respects within thirty (30) days after the service of written notice specifying the breach and requiring it to be remedied.

	If the Customer fails to pay an invoice, except to the extent any such invoice is disputed in good faith pursuant to clause 9, under this Agreement within thirty calendar (30) days from the relevant invoice becoming due and payable, then the Supplier may provide written notice, stating the Supplier’s intention to terminate this Agreement.  In the event the Customer fails to pay the undisputed amounts in full within seven (7) calendar days of the Supplier’s notice of its intention to terminate this Agreement, the Supplier may serve notice on the Customer to terminate this Agreement with immediate effect.


	12.3
	Without prejudice to any rights that have accrued under this Agreement or any of its rights or remedies, the Customer shall be entitled to early terminate this Agreement for convenience, with respect to the entirety of any individual Service (or any parts thereof) or with respect to some or all Services performed by the Supplier, upon serving at least thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice to the Supplier.


	12.4
	Should the Customer terminate a Service in accordance with clause 12.3 and the Supplier incurs Stranded Costs, the Customer shall pay to the Supplier any and all non-recoverable Stranded Costs caused by such termination, to the extent that the Stranded Costs would not have been incurred but for that termination. The Supplier shall inform the Customer of the anticipated Stranded Costs which the Supplier expects to incur as a result of any such termination (if any, and to the extent possible) as soon as reasonably practicable upon receiving a notice from the Customer under clause 12.3.
