rejected Product was Manufactured in compliance with the Product Specifications, the MQA, Lifecore Procedures, and Applicable Law or contained a Latent Defect, and such expert’s determinations will be final and determinative for purposes of
this Agreement. The party against whom the expert rules will bear all costs of the expert’s activities. Any dispute relating to such expert’s determination may be resolved as set forth in Section 22. For the avoidance of doubt, both
parties will be responsible for their own costs that are not the costs of the expert’s activities. 
 2.8.2. If it is determined by
agreement of the parties or through a final determination under Section 2.8.1 that the Manufacturing of a Batch of Product did not conform to the

Product Specifications, Lifecore Procedures, the MQA or Applicable Law, or contained a Latent Defect, and this nonconformity is not due to Lifecore’s failure to comply with the Product
Specifications, Lifecore Procedures, the MQA or Applicable Law, Heron will be required to pay the Price for such Batch, and Lifecore will dispose of as waste per Section 2. 9 or, if requested by Heron, provide to Heron any parts of such Batch
that cannot be Reworked or Reprocessed per Section 2. 9. Lifecore will, at Heron’s request, cost and expense, either obtain new Raw Materials, packaging components and produce a new Batch of Product as soon as reasonably possible or
investigate and Rework or Reprocess such Batch as mutually agreed upon by Heron and Lifecore. 
 2.8.3. If it is determined by agreement of
the parties or through a final determination under Section 2.8.1 above that the Manufacture of a Batch of Product i) did not conform to the Product Specifications, Lifecore Procedures, the MQA, or Applicable Law, or ii) contained a Latent Defect and
this nonconformity is due to Lifecore’s failure to comply with the Product Specifications, Lifecore Procedures, the MQA, or Applicable Law, then Heron and Lifecore will mutually agree on one of the following actions which, if successful, will
be deemed to cure any breach that otherwise may have been deemed as a result of the failure to Manufacture in accordance with the Product Specifications, the MQA, Lifecore Procedures, or Applicable Law: (i) Lifecore may refund the Price
received from Heron to date for the failed Batch; (ii) Lifecore may obtain, at Lifecore’s cost and expense, new Heron Raw Materials from Heron at a cost not to exceed [*********] adjusted in accord with Sections 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 and
Manufacture a new Batch of Product as soon as reasonably possible, but in no event more than sixty (60) days, provided Heron Raw Materials are in Lifecore inventory ; or (iii) with Heron’s written agreement, Lifecore may Rework or
Reprocess, at Lifecore’s cost and expense, the Product in such a way that the Product Batch can be deemed to have been Manufactured according to the Product Specifications, Lifecore Procedures, the MQA, and Applicable Law. Heron will only be
obligated to accept a Rework or Reprocess of the Batch if it reasonably believes that the Rework or Reprocess will result in Finished Final Drug Product that will be acceptable to the Regulatory Authorities. Regardless of the remedy mutually agreed
upon, in such case Lifecore and Heron will meet to discuss, evaluate and analyze the reasons for and implications of the failure to comply with the Product Specifications, the MQA, Lifecore Procedures, and Applicable Law and will discuss in good
faith how to proceed. Except for indemnification as set forth in Section 9 or a Recall governed by Section 12, the foregoing remedies are Heron’s sole and exclusive remedies and Lifecore’s exclusive liability if a Batch of
Product is not Manufactured according to the Product Specifications, Lifecore Procedures, the MQA, or Applicable Law, and as a result thereof the Finished Final Drug Product does not conform to the Finished Final Drug Product Specifications or
Applicable Law.

 2.9 Destruction of Failed Batch. Unless Heron requests the delivery of the failed
Batch and it is undisputed, or determined by the process of Section 8, that Lifecore is responsible for the failed Batch, Lifecore shall, at its own cost, destroy all such failed Batch and provide Heron with written certification of such
destruction within thirty (30) days of Heron’s request. If Heron requests the delivery of the failed Batch, Lifecore shall be responsible for the cost of transporting the failed Batch to a Heron designated site. If it is undisputed,
or determined by the process of Section 8, that Heron is responsible for the failed Batch, Heron shall either request Lifecore, at Heron’s cost, destroy such failed Batch(es) and provide Heron with written certification of such destruction
within thirty (30) days of Heron’s request or ship the failed Batch to Heron. If Heron requests the delivery of the failed Batch, Heron shall be responsible for the cost of packaging and transporting the failed Batch to a Heron
designated site. 
 2.10 Equipment. All Equipment currently in place at the Facility as of the Effective Date is listed on Exhibit

and perform all routine maintenance on the Equipment, such as gasket replacement. Heron will retain title to the Equipment at all times. Lifecore shall regularly inspect such Equipment, and shall inform Heron in the event of any malfunction, and any
necessary material repair or part replacement. Costs of repair due to normal usage, or a malfunction not caused by Lifecore’s misuse or lack of maintenance shall be at the cost of Heron, which Heron shall approve in advance in writing. Lifecore
will inform Heron of the need of repair and proposed solution, and facilitate repairs or replacements onsite as needed, and invoice Heron for the cost. All additional equipment purchased by or on behalf of Heron during the Term of this Agreement and
approved by Heron shall be added to Exhibit D and be considered Equipment under this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement by either party, Heron will remove the Equipment from the Facility at Heron’s expense, provided, however,
that Lifecore shall facilitate such removal. Heron will be responsible for cleaning and sterilizing any Equipment that is transported between the Lifecore Facility and other locations designated by Heron and for the risk of loss or damage to that
Equipment after it leaves the Lifecore Facility. Lifecore will not be in breach of any warranty or other provision of this Agreement to the extent any delay or failure to perform is caused by the lack of availability of Equipment due to removal from
the Facility by Heron or Heron’s failure to reimburse Lifecore for the cost of maintaining the Equipment within 45 (forty-five) days after Lifecore’s request for reimbursement together with documented expenses.

3.1 Prices. The Prices for Manufacturing Finished Final Drug Product are set forth in Exhibit B. All Prices exclude VAT,
federal, state or local taxes which are properly attributable to the Finished Final Drug Product and which will be added to the Price or billed separately to Heron where Lifecore has the legal obligation to collect the taxes or fees, and all
expenses related to shipping, insurance, handling, storage, and customs duties and fees. The Prices are subject to adjustment as follows: 

3.1.1. [*********] 
 3.1.2.
[*********] 
 3.2 Invoicing. At the time of Lifecore’s receipt of Heron’s notice of intent to release the Batch of Product

Contract Year. Thereafter, throughout the remainder of the Term of this Agreement, Heron shall place orders with Lifecore and purchase, if Lifecore is able to produce, an amount
approximating [*********] of Heron’s requirements for units of Finished Final Drug Product. 
 4.2 Forecasts. Prior to the start
of each calendar quarter throughout the Term, Heron will deliver to Lifecore a rolling forecast of its anticipated purchases, in whole Batch increments, of Finished Final Drug Product (including quantity and desired delivery dates) by month for
[*********], unless expressly provided for otherwise in this Agreement. In order to transition into commercial scale, the parties agree on the following forecast mechanism: 

4.2.1. Within ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Date, Heron will provide Lifecore a [*********] Non-Binding Forecast setting
forth its requirements for Finished Final Drug Product (including quantity and delivery dates) for each of the months in the forecast period. 

4.2.2. At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the beginning of the next calendar quarter commencing the quarter after the quarter in
which the Effective Date falls, Heron will provide Lifecore with a Non-Binding Forecast for [*********], a Binding Forecast for [*********], and a Non-Binding Forecast for [*********]. The Binding Forecast for [*********] cannot exceed the greater
of [*********] of the Non-Binding Forecast from the previous forecast for those same calendar months or [*********], nor be less than [*********] of such forecast or reduced by one Batch. If the amount to be ordered following increase or reduction
would result in a partial Batch, the amount ordered will be rounded down to the next complete number of Batches for a reduction and rounded up to the next complete number of Batches for an increase. In the event the first Contract Year does not
commence within twelve (12) months following the Effective Date, the parties shall meet to determine how best to adjust the obligations of the parties and terms of this Agreement to take into account the delay in regulatory approval for the
Finished Final Drug Product. 
 4.2.3. At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the beginning of the next calendar quarter, Heron will
provide Lifecore a Binding Forecast for [*********], and a Non-Binding Forecast for [*********]. The Binding Forecast cannot exceed the greater of [*********] of the Non-Binding Forecast from the previous forecast for those calendar months or
[*********], nor be less than [*********] of such forecast nor reduced by more than [*********].

 4.2.4. Thereafter, throughout the Term of the Agreement, at least ten (10) Business Days
prior to the beginning of each subsequent calendar quarter, Heron will provide a Binding Forecast for [*********] and a Non-Binding Forecast for [*********]. Each new [*********] period rolling into Binding Forecast cannot exceed the greater of
[*********] of the Non-Binding Forecast for those same calendar months or [*********], nor be less than [*********] of such forecast rounded up to the nearest whole batch volume or reduced by [*********], unless agreed to by Lifecore. If Heron
submits a Binding Forecast for more than [*********], or more than [*********], of the Non-Binding Forecast most recently provided for the same calendar months, Heron must submit a Supplemental Purchase Order under Section 4.5 for the excess amount.
If Heron submits a Binding Forecast or Firm Purchase Orders that are less than [*********] of the Non-Binding Forecast previously provided for the same calendar months, unless the reduction is no more
than [*********], Lifecore may invoice, and Heron will pay Lifecore for the shortfall between (a) [*********] of the Non-Binding Forecast for the period and (b) the actual amount covered by the Binding Forecast/Firm Purchase Orders for
those same calendar months. 
 4.2.5. Along with each quarterly Binding Forecast and Non-Binding Forecast Heron will issue to Lifecore
purchase orders for delivery (“Firm Purchase Orders”) covering the [*********] of the Binding Forecast. Firm Purchase Orders must specify the quantity of Finished Final Drug Product, Product Price, ship to location, and requested
shipment dates. Finished Final Drug Product must be ordered in full Batch quantities. Any quantity of Finished Final Drug Product on a Firm Purchase Order in excess of the Binding Forecast for the same [*********] period will constitute supplemental
orders under Section 4.5. The parties will agree upon the actual shipment date for Firm Purchase Orders that are not supplemental orders through discussion; provided however that such shipment date must be no more than ten (10) Business Days
after the date requested on the purchase order. 
 4.2.6. All Non-Binding Forecasts are only estimates of Heron’s anticipated purchases
and will be prepared in good faith in order to facilitate Lifecore’s efficient Manufacture and shipment of the Finished Final Drug Product in compliance with this Agreement. Except as set forth in Section 4.2.4 and this Section 4.2.6, Heron
will not be responsible for any loss or expense of Lifecore arising from any Non-Binding Forecast, except that, in the event of termination of this Agreement, Lifecore may invoice, and Heron will pay Lifecore, for the cost of any unused Raw
Materials procured by Lifecore in reliance on an Heron Non-Binding Forecast which Lifecore is not able to use or sell in the ordinary course of business.

 4.2.7. If in any calendar quarter Heron does not order and purchase the Finished Final Drug
Product as forecast in a Binding Forecast, Lifecore may invoice and Heron will pay the Price for each unit (in Batch increments) of Finished Final Drug Product not purchased. 

4.3 Lifecore Fulfillment of Forecasts. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Lifecore will supply, in each calendar quarter, Finished
Final Drug Product in quantities sufficient to fulfill all Firm Purchase Orders placed by Heron up to [*********] of the Binding Forecast. Any delay by Heron in delivery of Heron Raw Materials or performance of reviews of a Batch will relieve
Lifecore of its obligation in this Section 4.3 to fulfill [*********] of the Binding Forecast and the amount due will be reduced by the number of Batches that result from such delay. 

4.4 Lifecore Supplied Materials. Lifecore shall provide, at its cost and expense, all Raw Materials (other than Heron Raw Materials)
required in connection with Manufacturing of the Product. Lifecore represents and warrants to Heron that Lifecore and/or its Affiliates currently has access to, and during the entire Term of this Agreement will make all Commercially Reasonable
Efforts to maintain access to, sufficient supplies of Raw Materials, utilities, container/closure systems, packaging materials, labor, and all other items required to supply Finished Final Drug Product to Heron without interruption to cover the
Forecasts agreed by the Parties. If any Raw Materials expire due to a change in the Forecast, Heron shall reimburse Lifecore at cost plus [*********] for any such Raw Materials that Lifecore is unable, after Commercially Reasonable Efforts, to
return or use for another purpose. 
 4.5 Supplemental Orders. Heron may submit supplemental purchase orders for additional Finished
Final Drug Product throughout the Contract Year. Lifecore will notify Heron as soon as practicable, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of the order, as to when the supplemental purchase order is to be filled.
Lifecore will use reasonable commercial efforts to fill supplemental purchase orders within one hundred and eighty (180) days of receipt. 

4.6 Lifecore Failure to Supply. With the exception of Heron delaying or failing to supply Heron Raw Material, reimbursing Lifecore for
the cost of maintaining its Equipment or Heron removing the Equipment without Lifecore’s consent, Force Majeure, or Lifecore’s declining to supply Heron under Section 3.4 above pending Heron’s provision of additional payment security,
in the event that Lifecore fails in a calendar quarter to provide Heron with at least [*********] of the units in its Firm Purchase Orders by the scheduled delivery date (“Failure to Supply”), the price of the units of Finished
Final Drug Product that are delivered late will be

reduced by [*********]. Further, the shortfall of such Firm Purchase Orders will be delivered within twenty (20) Business Days. Further, following a Failure to Supply occurring twice within
a one (1) year period, the requirements set forth in Section 4.1 will no longer apply. 
 4.7 Other Documents. All sales of
Finished Final Drug Product by Lifecore to Heron hereunder will be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and will not be subject to the terms and conditions contained in any purchase order of Heron or confirmation of Lifecore, except insofar
as any such purchase order or confirmation establishes (i) the quantity of the Finished Final Drug Product sold, (ii) the ship to location, or (iii) the shipment date of the Finished Final Drug Product. 

4.8 Other Products. During the Term of this Agreement, and for an additional period of three (3) years following the
expiration and termination hereof, without considering the potential lack of other limitations with respect to the use of Heron’s proprietary technology, Lifecore shall not Manufacture any product that uses or relies on Biochronomer Technology
for itself or for or on behalf of any Third Party.
 4.9 Technology Transfer. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and a project
plan agreed upon by Heron and Lifecore, Heron may request Lifecore to make a Technology Transfer to Heron or third parties at Heron’s sole expense. Upon receipt of this request, Lifecore and Heron shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to
effect the Technology Transfer under the mutually agreed upon project plan. Upon written approval of the project plan by Heron and Lifecore, Lifecore shall perform the activities described in the project plan, including performing any studies
reasonably necessary to perform such Technology Transfer in a timely manner at Heron’s expense. 
 5. Shipment. 

5.1 Shipping Instructions. Heron will provide shipping instructions for Finished Final Drug Product. Lifecore will ship in accordance
with those instructions and maintain such instructions in its file in accordance with the MQA. 
 5.2 Delivery. Other than as a result
of delay due to Force Majeure, Lifecore will make the Finished Final Drug Product available for release to ship on the date indicated in Lifecore’s acceptance of the relevant Heron purchase order.

 11. Regulatory. 

11.1 Regulatory Responsibility. Heron is responsible for all required regulatory reports and filings and obtaining any required
approvals with respect to the Finished Final Drug Product in all jurisdictions of the Territory. Lifecore will provide the regulatory support as outlined in the MQA attached as Exhibit C and will comply with Applicable Law in Manufacturing
FFDP. Heron will be responsible for complying with regulatory requirements applicable to the clinical use and commercial distribution of the FFDP, as well as all other manufacturing and testing performed by Heron or its other contractors. However,
that to the extent Lifecore’s compliance with Applicable Law in a country other than the United States and the European Union would require Lifecore to bear increased costs, quality assurance or regulatory burdens in connection with the
Manufacturing of the Finished Final Drug Product, the parties will meet and discuss in good faith how to reasonably invoice Heron for these costs in accord with Exhibit B, before Lifecore becomes responsible for compliance with such
Applicable Law. Heron will communicate to Lifecore, in writing, any applicable regulatory requirements other than those specified in the Master Quality Agreement, and Lifecore in each instance will provide a written quotation to Heron for advance
approval and charge Heron for the labor and materials used at its standard rates in Exhibit B. 
 11.2 Regulatory Inspections.
Lifecore shall promptly, within one (1) Business Day, inform Heron following receipt of any regulatory inquiry or communication concerning an inspection, or the initiation of any inspection, regarding the Manufacturing and Processing of Bulk
Drug Product, IDP, FDP and/or Finished Final Drug Product. In the event Lifecore receives a notice of inspection or an inspection visit by any Regulatory Authority which directly involves DP or Product or is likely to materially impact
Lifecore’s ability to produce Bulk Drug Product, IDP, FDP and/or Finished Final Drug Product, Lifecore shall give Heron such notice as is practicable under the circumstances. In the event there are written observations or any other written
communication by a Regulatory Authority which directly involve DP or Product or would likely materially impact Lifecore’s ability to produce Bulk Drug Product, IDP, FDP and/or Finished Final Drug Product, or any proposed written response by
Lifecore to any such inspection, Heron shall be informed promptly within one (1) business day and be provided with copies of applicable documentation, and shall have a reasonable opportunity of at least three (3) Business Days to review
and comment on the proposed response. Such opportunity to review and comment shall not be extended so as to cause any response of Lifecore to be later than is required by such Regulatory Authority.

 11.3 Third Party Inspections. If a regulatory inspection of the Facility is conducted
concerning a third party product that is likely to affect the Manufacturing and Processing of Product, Lifecore will inform Heron of the outcome within five (5) Business Days following completion of the inspection. Lifecore will provide Heron
with a redacted copy of the inspection report (establishment inspection reports, 483s and warning letters or other correspondence from Regulatory Authorities), as appropriate, and Lifecore responses to observations within five (5) Business Days
following submission. Such redacted information provided to Heron may remove all information that is not directly related to the Product. 

11.4 Regulatory Support. Lifecore will provide Heron with the documents and information described in the Master Quality Agreement.

12.1 If any Finished Final Drug Product must be Recalled for failure to meet any regulatory requirements or law, Heron will have the sole
responsibility to effect the Recall, provided that nothing herein will restrict Lifecore’s ability to comply with Applicable Laws and regulations. Lifecore will cooperate as reasonably required in Heron’s efforts. Heron will
reimburse Lifecore for its reasonable costs incurred in complying with such efforts. To the extent the failure to meet applicable regulatory or legal requirements is caused by a breach of the warranty in Section 8 or non-compliance with cGMP during
Manufacturing, in a manner that has not and could not have been discovered in Heron final testing and release, even if properly performed, Lifecore will, in addition to its obligations under Section 8 reimburse Heron for any out-of-pocket cost
reasonably expended by Heron to effect the Recall and the Finished Final Drug Product replaced in accord with Section 2.8. Each of Heron and Lifecore will comply with their respective responsibilities under the MQA, which is attached hereto as
Exhibit C, with respect to any Recalls. 
 13. Infringement. 

13.1 Heron warrants that, to its best knowledge, the Manufacture, sale, distribution, import and use of the Finished Final Drug Product as it

give Lifecore written notice of an Infringement Claim against Heron promptly upon Heron’s receipt of notice thereof. Lifecore will cooperate fully and promptly with Heron in defending or otherwise resolving any such claims, actions, suits and
proceedings. 
 14. Confidential Information. 

14.1 Confidential Information. Heron and Lifecore each acknowledge that during the term of this Agreement, each party will learn
information that the other party considers confidential and secret, including but not limited to: inventions, research and development technology, formulations, methods and procedures, price lists, marketing plans, discount sheets, trade secrets,
technical information, physical specimens, models and technical specimens and specifications related to the Finished Final Drug Product (collectively, “Confidential Information”). All Confidential Information exchanged or developed
by Lifecore or Heron in the course of the Manufacturing Development Services Agreement - Drug Product dated as of November 21, 2011, as amended, and any prior confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements between Lifecore and Heron will be
treated as Confidential Information under this Agreement. 
 14.2 Nondisclosure; Non-Use. Each party will keep the other party’s
Confidential Information secret and confidential and agrees not to disclose, furnish, communicate, or make such Confidential Information accessible to any third party or use it in any way for such party’s own or another’s benefit, or
permit the same to be used in competition with the other party. Each of Heron and Lifecore will require its agents and employees to agree to be bound by the terms of this Section 14. It will require that all testing laboratories or other third
parties that receive any Bulk Drug Product, IDP, FDP and/or Finished Final Drug Product enter into written undertakings of confidentiality no less burdensome than set forth herein. Each of Heron and Lifecore will refrain from all acts and omissions
that would reduce the value of the other party’s Confidential Information.

 14.3 Exclusions. The definition of Confidential Information will exclude information
that: (i) is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to the other party or, without a breach of this Section 14 by such party, later becomes part of the public domain; (ii) the receiving party can verify by written records kept in
the ordinary course of business was in its lawful possession prior to its disclosure by the other party; or (iii) is received by one party from a third party without a breach of confidentiality owed by the third party to the other party to this
Agreement. 
 14.4 Compelled Disclosure. In the event that the receiving party will be required to make disclosure of Confidential
Information as a result of the issuance of a court order or other government process, the receiving party will promptly, but in no event more than forty-eight (48) hours after learning of such court order or other government process, notify, by
personal delivery or facsimile, pursuant to Section 14, the disclosing party and, at the disclosing party’s expense, the receiving party will: (i) take all reasonable necessary steps requested by the disclosing party to defend against the
enforcement of such court order or other government process, and (ii) permit the disclosing party to intervene and participate with counsel of its choice in any proceeding relating to the enforcement thereof. 

14.5 Survival. The obligation of the parties to keep the other party’s Confidential Information confidential will survive for a
period of five (5) years after the termination or expiration of this Agreement, provided, however that following such five (5) year party neither party will take any action to intentionally disclose information of the other party that
still meets the definition of Confidential Information. 
 14.6 Equitable Remedies. Each of Heron and Lifecore acknowledges that its
failure to maintain the other party’s Confidential Information confidential may result in immediate and irreparable damage to the other party. Therefore, each of Heron and Lifecore will be entitled to such equitable relief, in addition to any
damages, as any court of competent jurisdiction may deem proper to enforce the provision of this Section 14. 
 15. Force Majeure. 

15.1 Neither party will be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement or otherwise be liable to the other by reason of any delay in performing or
failure to perform any obligations hereunder (other than payment obligations) to the extent that such delay or failure was due to any event of Force Majeure of which it has notified the other party, and the time of performance of that obligation
will be extended accordingly. If the event of Force Majeure in question prevails for a continuous period in excess of one (1) month, the parties will enter into bona fide discussions with a view to alleviating its effects or to agree to such
alternative arrangements as may be fair and reasonable and initiate a Technology Transfer if requested by Heron. Each party will notify the other of any delay due to Force Majeure as soon as practicable and will keep the other informed through the
duration of the delay.
