the FDA or required by CGMP Requirements or applicable Law. Any and all direct costs (including, but not limited to, documented internal administrative
costs, costs of external technical consultants engaged by AZ in effectuating such changes, and the costs of obsolescence, including disposal cost, of goods-in-process, raw materials and completed, packaged Products) (collectively, the
“Amendment Costs”) associated with any change in the Manufacture or the Specifications of the Products required or recommended by the FDA or required by CGMP Requirements or applicable Law shall be borne by ABBI. Either Party may, not more
than once in any twelve month period, propose a change in the Specifications for any Product, subject to the consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Amendment Costs of any change in the Specifications
proposed by either Party shall be borne by the Party proposing such change. If a change is made to the Specifications, ABBI shall first obtain any required Government and Regulatory Authority approvals and shall make any necessary amendments to

	 	  	(b) ABBI shall submit an initial firm order (“Initial Firm Order”) upon execution of this Agreement for the entire inventory of the Products in final form and labeled for
sale in the Territory then held by AZ anywhere in the world on and as of such date. The Initial Firm Order shall not specify a delivery date that is not [***] from the date of this Agreement. AZ and ABBI agree that, as part of the Initial Firm
Order, AZ shall supply to ABBI, not less than a [***], based on the [***] and that, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, such amount of [***] will be delivered on the delivery date specified in the Initial Firm Order or as soon thereafter as is
commercially reasonable. The cost of that part of the Initial Firm Order that consists of [***] is included in the Purchase Price (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement), and ABBI shall only be obligated to pay for the other Products included

 SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. 
  


	 	  	(c) Within two business days following the Effective Date, or on such other date as may be agreed to by the Parties in writing, ABBI shall provide to AZ a non-binding forecast of
ABBI ‘s requirements for each Product by NDC for a [***] (a “Forecast”). Such Forecast shall be revised quarterly for a rolling [***] period and delivered to AZ on the first day of each calendar quarter. In addition, for the purposes
of AZ’s long-term planning, ABBI shall provide a non-binding best estimate of a [***] forecast of its anticipated quarterly requirements for each Product by NDC, which shall be updated on an annual basis on the anniversary of the Effective Date
of this Agreement. 

  

	 	  	(d) Within ten (10) business days after the Effective Date of this Agreement, ABBI shall submit to AZ a non-cancelable purchase order (a “Firm Order”) for ABBI’s
orders of Products by NDC to be delivered during the remainder of the current calendar quarter and the following first full calendar quarter. Thereafter, ABBI shall submit a Firm Order no later than the first day of each calendar quarter for all of
ABBI’s orders of Products by NDC to be delivered in the following calendar quarter. ABBI shall also submit to AZ along with such Firm Order a forecast for the next calendar quarter following the quarter to which the Firm Order applies (a
“Firm Forecast”). (See Schedule E attached hereto.) The volume set forth in any Firm Order may not deviate more than [***] for each Product by NDC from the Firm Forecast submitted to AZ by ABBI for such calendar quarter.


  

	 	  	(e) AZ will respond within [***] of receiving each of ABBI’s quarterly rolling Forecast, Firm Forecast and Firm Order, and will either (i) confirm acceptance by AZ of the
Forecast, Firm Forecast and Firm Order quantities or (ii) reject the requested quantities and initiate dialogue between the Parties to arrive at mutually acceptable values for the Forecast, Firm Forecast and Firm Order. AZ will use commercially
reasonable efforts to accommodate any additional quantity of Products requested by ABBI after the Firm Order has been submitted to AZ, but AZ shall not be liable in any respect for its inability to do so. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, AZ shall have no obligation to supply more than [***] of the aggregate volume of each Product by NDC for such calendar quarter set forth in any Firm Forecast. Firm Orders may be amended only by mutual agreement of the Parties, in
writing. Furthermore, in the event that ABBI submits a Firm Order for a volume that is less than [***] of the volume of any Product(s) by NDC indicated in the Firm Forecast for such calendar quarter, and AZ elects to accept such Firm Order, then AZ
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to utilize excess Components, Materials and Work in Process as a result of such order shortfall for the requirements of other Affiliates of AZ or for future periods covered by this Agreement. If AZ is unable
to utilize such Components, Materials and Work in Process, then in such case (and only in such case) AZ shall have the right to invoice ABBI for the cost of all Components, Materials and Work in Progress that AZ discarded as a result of such order
shortfall.

in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (other than as a result of ABBI’s failure to comply with Section 2.4) that but for such failure of supply would have been delivered in the ordinary course of business during such calendar
quarter and been sold by ABBI, then ABBI shall be entitled to receive from AZ an amount determined as follows: After the occurrence of the next Full Supply Period (defined below), the Parties shall calculate the amount of net profits attributable to
the sale of Products in such Product Family (determined in accordance with generally acceptable accepted accounting principles as consisting applied by ABBI) that ABBI would have realized in such Supply Deficit Quarter had net profits of the
Products in such Product Family realized by ABBI during such quarter been equal to the net profits attributable to the Product in such Product Family realized by ABBI during such Full Supply Period. Within [***] after the calculation of such amount
(the “Alternative Compensation Amount”), AZ shall pay to ABBI an amount equal to (a) the Alternative Compensation Amount for the applicable Supply Deficit Quarter, less (b) the amount of net profits attributable to the
Products in such Product Family actually realized by ABBI for such Supply Deficit Quarter. “Full Supply Period” means the [***] calendar quarters following the Supply Deficit Quarter during which ABBI is able to fulfill Firm Orders
placed by ABBI in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. ABBI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maximize profits attributable to Products from such Product Family in any Supply Deficit Quarter, including, without limitation, by
seeking to purchase Product equal to the amount of any shortfall from third party suppliers. 

  

	 	(b)	 If either (x) for any calendar quarter, AZ for any reason (other than Force Majeure) does not deliver units of such Clawback Product with an aggregate price
(determined in accordance with Section 5.1) of at least [***] of the aggregate price (determined in accordance with Section 5.1) of ABBI’s requirement for such Clawback Products for such quarter (other than as a result of ABBI’s
failure to comply with Section 2.4), or (y) for a period of two consecutive calendar quarters, AZ for any reason (other than Force Majeure) does not deliver units of such Clawback Product with an aggregate price (determined in accordance
with Section 5.1) of at least [***] of the aggregate price (determined in accordance with Section 5.1) of ABBI’s requirement for such Clawback Product (other than ABBI’s failure to comply with Section 2.3), then ABBI may
terminate this

forming such belief, give notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the failure to give timely notice to the Indemnifying Party as contemplated hereby shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any liability to the Indemnified
Party unless the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such claim is prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, by prompt notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of such claim, at its cost,
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume the defense of such claim or, having done so, does not diligently pursue such defense, the Indemnified Party may assume such defense, with
counsel of its choice, but at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party so assumes such defense, it shall have absolute control of the conduct of the litigation; the Indemnified Party may, nevertheless, participate therein
through counsel of its choice and at its cost. The party not assuming the defense of any such claim shall render all reasonable assistance to the party assuming such defense, and all out-of-pocket costs of such assistance shall be for the account of
the Indemnifying Party. No such claim shall be settled other than by the party defending the same, and then only with the consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall have no
obligation to consent to any settlement of any such claim which imposes on the Indemnified Party any liability or obligation which cannot be assumed and performed in full by the Indemnifying Party. 

  

	9.	INSURANCE
