Within [*****] after the end of each Year, Patheon will prepare an annual reconciliation of Active Materials on the reconciliation report form set forth in Schedule I including the calculation of the "Actual Annual Yield" or "AAY" for the Product at the Manufacturing Site during the Year.  AAY is the percentage of the Quantity Dispensed that was converted to Products and is calculated as follows:

 

	
Quantity Converted during the Year

	
x

	
100%

Quantity Dispensed during the Year

 

After Patheon has produced a minimum of [*****] successful commercial production batches of Product or has produced commercial production batches for at least [*****] at the Manufacturing Site (collectively, the "Target Yield Determination Batches"), the Parties will mutually agree on the target yield for the Product at the Manufacturing Site (each, a "Target Yield"); The Target Yield will be revised [*****] to reflect the actual manufacturing experience as agreed to by the parties.

 

	
(b)  

	
Shortfall Calculation.  If the Actual Annual Yield falls more than [*****] below the respective Target Yield in a [*****], then the shortfall for the [*****] (the "Shortfall") will be calculated as follows:

 

[*****]

 

	
  

	
(c)

	
Credit for Shortfall.  If there is a Shortfall for a Product in a Year, then Patheon will credit Client’s account for the amount of the Shortfall not later than [*****] after the end of the Year.

 

Each credit under this Section 2.2(c) will be summarized on the reconciliation report form set forth in Schedule I.  Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, any remaining credit owing under this Section 2.2 will be paid to Client.  The Annual Shortfall, if any, will be disclosed by Patheon on the reconciliation report form.

 

	
  

	
(d)

	
[*****]

 

	
  

	
(e)

ORDERS, SHIPMENT, INVOICING, PAYMENT

 

5.1                      Orders and Forecasts.

 

	
(a)  

	
Rolling [*****]Forecast.  When this Agreement is executed, Client will give Patheon a non-binding [*****] forecast of the volume of Product that Client expects to order in the first [*****] of commercial manufacture of the Product.  This forecast will then be updated by Client on or before the [*****] on a rolling forward basis.  Client will update the forecast forthwith if it determines that the volumes estimated in the most recent forecast have changed by more than [*****].  The most recent [*****] forecast will prevail.

 

	
(b)  

	
Firm Orders for Initial Manufacturing [*****].  At least [*****] before the start of commercial manufacture of the Product, Client will update the rolling forecast for the first [*****] of manufacture of the Product (the “Initial Manufacturing Period”).  The [*****] of this updated forecast (“Initial Manufacturing Month”) will constitute a firm written order in the form of a purchase order or otherwise ("First Firm Order") by Client to purchase and, when accepted by Patheon, for Patheon to manufacture the quantity of the Product.  If manufacturing has not started, Client may cancel any Batches from the First Firm Order at no cost if notice of cancellation is received by Patheon [*****] or more before the scheduled Delivery Date under the First Firm Order. If manufacturing has not started, Client may cancel any Batches from the First Firm Order if notice of cancellation is received by Patheon [*****] before the scheduled Delivery Date under the First Firm Order, [*****]. If the First Firm Order is changed or adjusted as described above then the initial rolling [*****] forecast will also be adjusted as necessary.

 

	
(c)  

	
Firm Orders Thereafter.  Before and during the Initial Manufacturing Period, and on a rolling basis during the term of this Agreement, Client will issue an updated [*****] forecast on or before [*****]. The first [*****] of this updated forecast will be a firm order in the form of a purchase order or otherwise (“Firm Order”) by Client to purchase and, when accepted by Patheon, for Patheon to manufacture and deliver the agreed quantity of the Products on a date not less than [*****] from the [*****] immediately following the date that the Firm Order is submitted.  Firm Orders submitted to Patheon will specify Client's Manufacturing Services purchase order number, quantities by Product type, monthly delivery schedule, and any other elements necessary to ensure the timely manufacture and shipment of the Products.  The quantities of Products ordered in those written orders will be firm and binding on Client and may not be reduced by Client unless otherwise provided in this Agreement.

 

	
(d)  

	
[*****] Forecast.  On or before the [*****], Client will give Patheon a written non-binding [*****] forecast, broken down by [*****] for the [*****] of the forecast, of the volume of each Product Client then anticipates will be required to be manufactured and delivered to Client during the [*****].

 

- 11 -

 

  

  

  

	
(e)  

	
Acceptance of Firm Order.  Patheon will accept Firm Orders by sending an acknowledgement to Client within [*****] of its receipt of the Firm Order.  The acknowledgement will include, subject to confirmation from the Client, the Delivery Date for the Product ordered. The Delivery Date may be amended by agreement of the Parties or as set forth in Sections 2.1(f) or 5.1(b). Patheon will accept all Firm Orders submitted by Client up to [*****] of the quantities specified in the most recent forecast submitted by Client for the applicable period subject to the availability of Materials and API.

 

5.2 Reliance by Patheon.

 

(a)           Client understands and acknowledges that Patheon will rely on the Firm Orders and rolling forecasts submitted under Sections 5.1(a), (b), and (c) in ordering the Components required to meet the Firm Orders.  In addition, Client understands that to ensure an orderly supply of the Components, Patheon may want to purchase the Components in sufficient volumes to meet the production requirements for Products during part or all of the forecasted periods referred to in Section 5.1(a) or to meet the production requirements of any longer period agreed to by Patheon and Client.  Accordingly, Client authorizes Patheon to purchase Components to satisfy the Manufacturing Services requirements for Products for the first [*****] contemplated in the most recent forecast given by Client under Section 5.1(a).  Patheon may make other purchases of Components to meet Manufacturing Services requirements for longer periods if agreed to in writing by the parties.  The Client will give Patheon written authorization to order Components for any launch quantities of Product requested by Client which will be considered a Firm Order when accepted by Patheon.  If Components ordered by Patheon under Firm Orders or this Section 5.2 are not included in finished Products manufactured for Client, or in any third party products manufactured by Patheon, [*****] after the forecasted month for which the purchases have been made (or for a longer period as the parties may agree) or if the Components have expired during the period, then Client will pay to Patheon its costs therefor (including all costs incurred by Patheon for the purchase and handling of the Components).  But if these Components are used in Products subsequently manufactured for Client or in third party products manufactured by Patheon, Client will receive credit for any costs of those Components previously paid to Patheon by Client.

 

(b)           If Client fails to take possession or arrange for the destruction of Components within [*****] of purchase or, in the case of finished Product, within [*****] of manufacture, Client will pay Patheon $[*****] thereafter for storing the Components or finished Product.  Storage fees for Components or Product which contain controlled substances or require refrigeration will be charged at $[*****].  Storage fees are subject to a [*****] minimum charge [*****].  Patheon may ship finished Product held by it longer than [*****] to the Client at Client’s expense on [*****] written notice to the Client.

 

5.3 Minimum Orders.

 

Client may only order Manufacturing Services for batches of Products in multiples of the Minimum Run Quantities as set out in Schedule B.

 

5.4 Shipments.

 

Shipments of Products will be made [*****] Patheon’s shipping point unless otherwise mutually agreed.  Risk of loss or of damage to Products will remain with Patheon until [*****].  Patheon will, in accordance with Client’s instructions and as agent for Client, (i) arrange for shipping to be paid by Client and (ii) at Client’s risk and expense, obtain any export licence or other official authorization

 

- 12 -

 

  

  

  

necessary to export the Products.  Client will arrange for insurance and will select the freight carrier used by Patheon to ship Products and may monitor Patheon’s shipping and freight practices as they pertain to this Agreement. Products will be transported in accordance with the Specifications.

 

5.5 On Time Delivery.

 

	
(a)  

	
Patheon and the Client understand that there may be uncertainties and necessary adjustments in production schedules during the Initial Manufacturing Period.  The parties agree that they will work together closely to expedite deliveries and manage the scheduling of the initial Product launch.

 

	
(b)  

	
If, after the Initial Manufacturing Period,  Patheon is unable to deliver the quantity of Product ordered under a Firm Order on the Delivery Date due to an act or omission by Patheon (a “Late Delivery”), Client will receive a credit from Patheon for the Late Delivery that will be applied against the purchase price under the next Firm Order.  The credit will be [*****]

 

	
(c)  

	
 A Late Delivery will not be a material breach of this Agreement by Patheon for the purposes of Section 8.2 unless the Products are delivered more than [*****] after the Delivery Date.

 

	
(d)  

	
For clarity, a Late Delivery will not include any delay in shipment of Product caused by events outside of Patheon’s reasonable control, such as [*****].

 

	
(e)  

	
Patheon will not ship Products to Client or its agents in advance of a scheduled delivery date, without Client’s prior approval.

 

	
(f)  

	
No shipment will be deemed complete until all ordered Product SKUs have been delivered in accordance with Client’s instructions and a certificate of compliance has been issued by Patheon.  Partial shipment must be authorized by Client.

 

5.6 Invoices and Payment.

 

Invoices will be sent by fax or email to the fax number or email address given by Client to Patheon in writing.  Invoices will be sent when the Product is manufactured and released by Patheon to the Client.  Patheon will also submit to Client, with each shipment of Products, a duplicate copy of the invoice covering the shipment.  Patheon will also give Client an invoice covering any Inventory or Components which are to be purchased by Client under Section 5.2 of this Agreement.  Each invoice will, to the extent applicable, identify Client’s Manufacturing Services purchase order number, Product numbers, names and quantities, unit price, freight charges, and the total amount to be paid by Client.  Client will pay all undisputed invoices for accepted Products within [*****] of the date thereof. No payment or other obligations of Client will accrue on partial or incomplete shipments.

PRODUCT CLAIMS AND RECALLS

 

6.1 Product Claims.

 

(a) Product Claims.  Client has the right to reject any portion of any shipment of Products that deviates from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws without invalidating any remainder of the shipment.  Client will inspect the Products manufactured by Patheon upon receipt and will give Patheon written notice (a "Deficiency Notice") of all claims for Products that deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws within [*****] after Client’s receipt thereof (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, within [*****] after discovery by Client, [*****].  Should Client fail to give Patheon the Deficiency Notice within the applicable [*****], then the delivery will be deemed to have been accepted by Client on the [*****] after delivery or discovery, as applicable.  Except as set out in Section 6.3, Patheon will have no liability for any deviations for which it has not received notice within the applicable [*****] period.

 

(b) Determination of Deficiency.  Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Patheon will have [*****] to advise Client by notice in writing that it disagrees with the contents of the Deficiency Notice.  If Client and Patheon fail to agree within [*****] after Patheon's notice to Client as to whether any Products identified in the Deficiency Notice deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, then the parties will mutually select an independent laboratory to evaluate if the Products deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws.  This evaluation will be binding on the parties. If the evaluation certifies that any Products deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, Client may reject those Products in the manner contemplated in this Section 6.1 and Patheon will be responsible for the cost of the evaluation.  If the evaluation does not so certify for any of the Products, then Client will be deemed to have accepted delivery of the Products on the [*****] after delivery (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, on the [*****] after discovery thereof by Client, but not after the expiration date of the Product) and Client will be responsible for the cost of the evaluation.

 

(c)           Shortages.  Claims for shortages in the amount of Products shipped by Patheon will be dealt with by reasonable agreement of the parties.

 

6.2 Product Recalls and Returns.

 

(a) Records and Notice.  Patheon and Client will each maintain records necessary to permit a Recall of any Products delivered to Client or customers of Client.  Each party will promptly notify the other of any information which might affect the marketability, safety or effectiveness of the Products or which might result in the Recall or seizure of the Products.  Upon receiving this notice or upon this discovery, each party will stop making any further shipments of any Products in its possession or control until a decision has been made whether a Recall or some other corrective action is necessary.  The decision to initiate a Recall or to take some other corrective action, if any, will be made and implemented by Client.  "Recall" will mean any action (i) by Client to recover title to or possession of quantities of the Products sold or shipped to third parties (including, without limitation, the voluntary withdrawal of Products from the market); or (ii) by any regulatory authorities to detain or destroy any of the Products.  Recall will also include any action by either Party to refrain from selling or shipping quantities of the Products to third parties which would have been subject to a Recall if sold or shipped.

 

- 14 -

 

  

  

  

(b) Recalls.  If (i) any governmental or regulatory authority issues a directive, order or, following the issuance of a safety warning or alert about a Product, a written request that any Product be Recalled, (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction orders a Recall, or (iii) Client determines that any Product should be Recalled or that a "Dear Doctor" letter is required relating the restrictions on the use of any Product, Patheon will co-operate as reasonably required by Client, having regard to all applicable laws and regulations.

 

(c) Product Returns.  Client will have the responsibility for handling customer returns of the Products.  Patheon will give Client any assistance that Client may reasonably require to handle the returns.

 

6.3 Patheon’s Responsibility for Defective and Recalled Products.

 

(a) Defective Product.  If Client rejects Products under Section 6.1 and the deviation is determined to have arisen from Patheon’s failure to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, Patheon will credit Client’s account for Patheon’s invoice price for the defective Products.  If Client previously paid for the defective Products, Patheon will promptly, at Client’s election, either: (i) refund the invoice price for the defective Products; (ii) offset the amount paid against other amounts due to Patheon hereunder; or (iii) replace the Products with conforming Products without Client being liable for payment therefor under Section 3.1, contingent upon the receipt from Client of all Active Materials required for the manufacture of the replacement Products.  For greater certainty, Patheon’s responsibility for any loss of Active Materials in defective Product will be captured and calculated in the Active Materials Yield under Section 2.2.

 

(b) Recalled Product.  If a Recall or return results from, or arises out of, a failure by Patheon to perform the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, Patheon will be responsible for the documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Recall or return and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to replace the Recalled or returned Products with new Products as soon as possible, contingent upon the receipt from Client of all Active Materials required for the manufacture of the replacement Products.  For greater certainty, Patheon’s responsibility for any loss of Active Materials in Recalled Product will be captured and calculated in the Active Materials Yield under Section 2.2.  If Patheon is unable to replace the Recalled or returned Products (except where this inability results from a failure to receive the required Active Materials), then Client may request Patheon to reimburse Client for the price that Client paid to Patheon for Manufacturing Services for the affected Products.  In all other circumstances, Recalls, returns, or other corrective actions will be made at Client's cost and expense.

 

(c) Except as set forth in Sections 6.3(a) and (b) above, Patheon will not be liable to Client nor have any responsibility to Client for any deficiencies in, or other liabilities associated with, any Product manufactured by it, (collectively, "Product Claims"). For greater certainty, Patheon will have no obligation for any Product Claims to the extent the Product Claim [*****].

 

6.4 Disposition of Defective or Recalled Products.

 

Client will not dispose of any damaged, defective, returned, or Recalled Products for which it intends to assert a claim against Patheon without Patheon’s prior written authorization to do so.  Alternatively, Patheon may instruct Client to return the Products to Patheon.  Patheon will bear the cost of disposition for any damaged, defective, returned or Recalled Products for which it bears responsibility under Section 6.3.  [*****]

 

- 15 -

 

  

  

  

6.5 Healthcare Provider or Patient Questions and Complaints.

 

Client will have the sole responsibility for responding to questions and complaints from its customers.  Questions or complaints received by Patheon from Client's customers, healthcare providers or patients will be promptly referred to Client.  Patheon will co-operate as reasonably required to allow Client to determine the cause of and resolve any questions and complaints.  This assistance will include follow-up investigations, including testing.  In addition, Patheon will give Client all mutually agreed upon information that will enable Client to respond properly to questions or complaints about the Products as set forth in the Quality Agreement.  Unless it is determined that the cause of the complaint resulted from a failure by Patheon to perform the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws, all costs incurred under this Section 6.5 will be borne by Client.

ARTICLE 7                      

 

CO-OPERATION

 

7.1 [*****] Review.

 

Each party will forthwith upon execution of this Agreement appoint one of its employees to be a relationship manager responsible for liaison between the parties.  The relationship managers will meet not less than [*****] to review the current status of the business relationship and manage any issues that have arisen.

 

7.2 Governmental Agencies.

 

Subject to Section 7.8, each party may communicate with any governmental agency, including but not limited to governmental agencies responsible for granting regulatory approval for the Products, regarding the Products if, in the opinion of that party's counsel, the communication is necessary to comply with the terms of this Agreement or the requirements of any law, governmental order or regulation.  Unless, in the reasonable opinion of its counsel, there is a legal prohibition against doing so, a party will permit the other party to accompany and take part in any communications with the agency, and to receive copies of all communications from the agency.

 

7.3 Records and Accounting by Patheon.

 

Patheon will keep records of the manufacture, testing, and shipping of the Products, and retain samples of the Products as are necessary to comply with manufacturing regulatory requirements applicable to Patheon, as well as to assist with resolving Product complaints and other similar investigations.  Copies of the records and samples will be retained for a period of one year following the date of Product expiry, or longer if required by law or the Quality Agreement, at which time Client will be contacted concerning the delivery and destruction of the documents and/or samples of Products.  Client is responsible for retaining samples of the Products necessary to comply with the legal/regulatory requirements applicable to Client.

 

- 16 -

 

  

  

  

7.4 Inspection.

 

Client may inspect Patheon reports and records relating to this Agreement during normal business hours and with reasonable advance notice, but a Patheon representative must be present during the inspection.

 

7.5 Access.

 

Patheon will give Client reasonable access at mutually agreeable times to the areas of the Manufacturing Site in which the Products are manufactured, stored, handled, or shipped to permit Client to verify that the Manufacturing Services are being performed in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws.  But, with the exception of “for-cause” audits, Client will be limited each Year to [*****], lasting no more than [*****], and involving no more than [*****] auditors.  Client may request additional cGMP-type audits, additional audit days, or the participation of additional auditors subject to payment to Patheon of a fee of [*****].  The right of access set forth in this Section 7.5 will not include a right to access or inspect Patheon’s financial records.

 

7.6 Notification of Regulatory Inspections.

 

Patheon will notify Client within one Business Day of any inspections by any governmental agency specifically involving the Products.  Patheon will also notify Client of receipt of any form 483’s or warning letters or any other significant regulatory action which Patheon’s quality assurance group determines could impact the regulatory status of the Products.

 

7.7 Reports.

 

Patheon will supply on an annual basis all Product data in its control, including release test results, complaint test results, and all investigations (in manufacturing, testing, and storage), that Client reasonably requires in order to complete any filing under any applicable regulatory regime, including any Annual Report that Client is required to file with the FDA.  At the Client’s request, Patheon will provide a copy of the Annual Product Review Report to the Client at no additional cost.  Any additional report requested by Client beyond the scope of cGMPs and customary FDA requirements will be subject to an additional fee to be agreed upon between Patheon and the Client.

 

7.8                      FDA Filings.

 

(a) Regulatory Authority.  Client will have the sole responsibility for filing all documents with all Regulatory Authorities and taking any other actions that may be required for the receipt and/or maintenance of Regulatory Authority approval for the commercial manufacture of the Products.  Patheon will assist Client, to the extent consistent with Patheon’s obligations under this Agreement, to obtain Regulatory Authority approval for the commercial manufacture of all Products as quickly as reasonably possible.

 

(b) Verification of Data.  At least [*****] prior to filing any documents with any Regulatory Authority that incorporate data generated by Patheon, Client will give Patheon a copy of the documents incorporating this data to give Patheon the opportunity to verify the accuracy and regulatory validity of those documents as they relate to Patheon generated data.

 

- 17 -

 

  

  

  

(c) Verification of CMC.  At least [*****] prior to filing with any Regulatory Authority any documentation which is or is equivalent to the FDA’s Chemistry and Manufacturing Controls (“CMC”) related to any Marketing Authorization, such as a New Drug Application or Abbreviated New Drug Application, Client will give Patheon a copy of the CMC as well as all supporting documents which have been relied upon to prepare the CMC.  This disclosure will permit Patheon to verify that the CMC accurately describes the work that Patheon has performed and the manufacturing processes that Patheon will perform under this Agreement.  Client will give Patheon copies of all FDA filings at the time of submission which contain CMC information regarding the Product.

(d) Deficiencies.  If, in Patheon’s sole discretion, acting reasonably, Patheon determines that any of the information given by Client under clauses (b) and (c) above is inaccurate or deficient in any manner whatsoever (the "Deficiencies"), Patheon will notify Client in writing of the Deficiencies.  The parties will work together to have the Deficiencies resolved prior to any pre-approval inspection.

(e) Client Responsibility.  For clarity, the parties agree that in reviewing the documents referred to in clause (b) above, Patheon’s role will be limited to verifying the accuracy of the description of the work undertaken or to be undertaken by Patheon.  Subject to the foregoing, Patheon will not assume any responsibility for the accuracy of any application for receipt of an approval by a regulatory authority.  The Client is solely responsibility for the preparation and filing of the application for approval by the regulatory authorities and any relevant costs will be borne by the Client.

(f) Inspection by Regulatory Authorities.  If Client does not give Patheon the documents requested under clause (b) above within the time specified and if Patheon reasonably believes that Patheon’s standing with a regulatory authority may be jeopardized, Patheon may, in its sole discretion, delay or postpone any inspection by the regulatory authority until Patheon has reviewed the requested documents and is satisfied with their contents.

REMEDIES AND INDEMNITIES

 

10.1 Consequential Damages.

 

Except for a party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement, or due to a breach of Article 11, under no circumstances whatsoever will either party be liable to the other in contract, tort, negligence, breach of statutory duty, or otherwise for (i) any (direct or indirect) loss of profits, of production, of anticipated savings, of business, or goodwill or (ii) for any other liability, damage, costs, or expense of any kind incurred by the other party of an indirect or consequential nature, regardless of any notice of the possibility of these damages.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

12.1 Commercial Disputes.

 

If any dispute arises out of this Agreement (other than a dispute under Section 6.1(b) or a Technical Dispute, as defined herein), the parties will first try to resolve it amicably.  In that regard, any party may send a notice of dispute to the other, and each party will appoint, within [*****] from receipt of the notice of dispute, a single representative having full power and authority to solve the dispute.  The representatives will meet as necessary in order to resolve the dispute.  If the representatives fail to resolve the matter within one month from their appointment, or if a party fails to appoint a representative within the [*****]period set forth above, the dispute will immediately be referred to the Chief Operating

 

- 23 -

 

  

  

  

Officer (or another officer as he/she may designate) of each party who will meet and discuss as necessary to try to resolve the dispute amicably.  Should the parties fail to reach a resolution under this Section 12.1, the dispute will be referred to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 13.15.

 

12.2 Technical Dispute Resolution.

 

If a dispute arises (other than disputes under Sections 6.1(b) or 12.1) between the parties that is exclusively related to technical aspects of the manufacturing, packaging, labelling, quality control testing, handling, storage, or other activities under this Agreement (a "Technical Dispute"), the parties will make all reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute by amicable negotiations.  In that regard, senior representatives of each party will, as soon as practicable and in any event no later than [*****] after a written request from either party to the other, meet in good faith to resolve any Technical Dispute.  If, despite this meeting, the parties are unable to resolve a Technical Dispute within a reasonable time, and in any event within [*****] of the written request, the Technical Dispute will, at the request of either party, be referred for determination to an expert in accordance with Schedule E.  If the parties cannot agree that a dispute is a Technical Dispute, Section 12.1 will prevail.  For greater certainty, the parties agree that the release of the Products for sale or distribution under the applicable marketing approval for the Products will not by itself indicate compliance by Patheon with its obligations for the Manufacturing Services and further that nothing in this Agreement (including Schedule E) will remove or limit the authority of the relevant qualified person (as specified by the Quality Agreement) to determine whether the Products are to be released for sale or distribution.

 

ARTICLE 13                                

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

13.1 Inventions.

 

(a)           For the term of this Agreement, Client hereby grants to Patheon a limited, non-exclusive, paid-up, royalty-free, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license of Client’s Intellectual Property which Patheon must use in order to perform the Manufacturing Services solely for use by Patheon in performing the Manufacturing Serivces.

 

(b)           All Intellectual Property generated or derived by Patheon while performing the Manufacturing Services, to the extent it is specific to the development, manufacture, use, and sale of Client’s Product that is the subject of the Manufacturing Services, will be the exclusive property of Client, and Patheon hereby assigns all of its right, title, and interest in and to such Intellectual Property to Client.

 

(c)           All Patheon Intellectual Property will be the exclusive property of Patheon. Patheon hereby grants to Client a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, paid-up, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use the Patheon Intellectual Property used by Patheon to perform the Manufacturing Services or otherwise incorporated into the Products to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import, export, distribute, create derivative works of, and otherwise use the Product(s) in any manner as contemplated under this Agreement.

 

(d)           Each party will be solely responsible for the costs of filing, prosecution, and maintenance of patents and patent applications on its own Inventions.

 

- 24 -

 

  

  

  

(e)           Either party will give the other party written notice, as promptly as practicable, of all Inventions which can reasonably be deemed to constitute improvements or other modifications of the Products or processes or technology owned or otherwise controlled by the party.

 

13.2 Intellectual Property.

 

Subject to Section 13.1, all Client Intellectual Property will be owned by Client and all Patheon Intellectual Property will be owned by Patheon.  Neither party has, nor will it acquire, any interest in any of the other party’s Intellectual Property unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing.  Neither party will use any Intellectual Property of the other party, except as specifically authorized by the other party or as required for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

13.3 Insurance.

 

Each party will maintain [*****] insurance, including blanket contractual liability insurance covering the obligations of that party under this Agreement through the term of this Agreement and for a period of [*****] thereafter.  This insurance will have policy limits of not less than [*****].  If requested each party will give the other a certificate of insurance evidencing the above and showing the name of the issuing company, the policy number, the effective date, the expiration date, and the limits of liability.  The insurance certificate will further provide for a minimum of [*****] written notice to the insured of a cancellation of, or material change in, the insurance.  If a party is unable to maintain the insurance policies required under this Agreement through no fault of its own, then the party will forthwith notify the other party in writing and the parties will in good faith negotiate appropriate amendments to the insurance provision of this Agreement in order to provide adequate assurances.

 

13.4 Independent Contractors.

 

The parties are independent contractors and this Agreement will not be construed to create between Patheon and Client any other relationship such as, by way of example only, that of employer-employee, principal agent, joint-venturer, co-partners, or any similar relationship, the existence of which is expressly denied by the parties.

 

13.5 No Waiver.

 

Either party's failure to require the other party to comply with any provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of the provision or any other provision of this Agreement, with the exception of Sections 6.1 and 8.2.

 

13.6 Assignment.

 

	
(a)  

	
Patheon may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of Client, this consent not to be unreasonably withheld.  But Patheon may arrange for subcontractors to perform specific testing services arising under this Agreement without the consent of Client.

 

	
(b)  

	
Subject to Section 8.2(d), Client may assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without approval from Patheon.  But Client will give Patheon prior written notice of any assignment, any assignee will covenant in writing with Patheon to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and Client will remain liable hereunder.  Any

 

- 25 -

 

  

  

  

partial assignment will be subject to Patheon’s cost review of the assigned Products and Patheon may terminate this Agreement or any assigned part thereof, on [*****] written notice to Client and the assignee if good faith discussions do not lead to agreement on amended Manufacturing Service fees within a reasonable time.

 

	
(c)  

	
Despite the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.6, and notwithstanding Section 8.2(d), either party may assign this Agreement to any of its Affiliates or to a successor to or purchaser of all or substantially all of its business, but the assignee must execute an agreement with the non-assigning party whereby it agrees to be bound hereunder.

 

13.7 Force Majeure.

 

Neither party will be liable for the failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement if the failure is caused by an event beyond that party's reasonable control, including, but not limited to, strikes or other labor disturbances, lockouts, riots, quarantines, communicable disease outbreaks, wars, acts of terrorism, fires, floods, storms, interruption of or delay in transportation, defective equipment, lack of or inability to obtain fuel, power or components, or compliance with any order or regulation of any government entity acting within colour of right (a "Force Majeure Event").  A party claiming a right to excused performance under this Section 13.7 will immediately notify the other party in writing of the extent of its inability to perform, which notice will specify the event beyond its reasonable control that prevents the performance.  Neither party will be entitled to rely on a Force Majeure Event to relieve it from an obligation to pay money (including any interest for delayed payment) which would otherwise be due and payable under this Agreement.

 

13.8 Additional Product.

 

Additional products may be added to this Agreement and the additional products will be governed by the general conditions hereof with any special terms (including, without limitation, price) governed by amendments to Schedules A, B, and C as applicable.

 

13.9 Notices.

 

Any notice, approval, instruction or other written communication required or permitted hereunder will be sufficient if made or given to the other party by personal delivery, by telecopy, facsimile communication, or confirmed receipt email or by sending the same by first class mail, postage prepaid to the respective addresses, telecopy or facsimile numbers or electronic mail addresses set forth below:

13.13 No Third Party Benefit or Right.

TECHNICAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

Technical Disputes which cannot be resolved by negotiation as provided in Section 12.2 will be resolved in the following manner:

 

1. Appointment of Expert. Within [*****] after a party requests under Section 12.2 that an expert be appointed to resolve a Technical Dispute, the parties will jointly appoint a mutually acceptable expert with experience and expertise in the subject matter of the dispute.  If the parties are unable to so agree within the [*****] period, or in the event of disclosure of a conflict by an expert under Paragraph 2 hereof which results in the parties not confirming the appointment of the expert, then an expert (willing to act in that capacity hereunder) will be appointed by an experienced arbitrator on the roster of the American Arbitration Association.

 

2. Conflicts of Interest.  Any person appointed as an expert will be entitled to act and continue to act as an expert even if at the time of his appointment or at any time before he gives his determination, he has or may have some interest or duty which conflicts or may conflict with his appointment if before accepting the appointment (or as soon as practicable after he becomes aware of the conflict or potential conflict) he fully discloses the interest or duty and the parties will, after the disclosure, have confirmed his appointment.

 

3. Not Arbitrator.  No expert will be deemed to be an arbitrator and the provisions of the American Arbitration Act or of any other applicable statute (foreign or domestic) and the law relating to arbitration will not apply to the expert or the expert's determination or the procedure by which the expert reaches his determination under this Schedule E.

 

4. Procedure.  Where an expert is appointed:

 

	
(a)  

	
Timing.  The expert will be so appointed on condition that (i) he promptly fixes a reasonable time and place for receiving representations, submissions or information from the parties and that he issues the authorizations to the parties and any relevant third party for the proper conduct of his determination and any hearing and (ii) he renders his decision (with full reasons) within [*****] (or another other date as the parties and the expert may agree) after receipt of all information requested by him under Paragraph 4(b) hereof.

 

	
(b)  

	
Disclosure of Evidence.  The parties undertake one to the other to give to any expert all the evidence and information within their respective possession or control as the expert may reasonably consider necessary for determining the matter before him which they will disclose promptly and in any event within [*****] of a written request from the relevant expert to do so.

 

	
(c)  

	
Advisors.  Each party may appoint any counsel, consultants and advisors as it feels appropriate to assist the expert in his determination and so as to present their respective cases so that at all times the parties will co-operate and seek to narrow and limit the issues to be determined.

 

- Schedule E-1 -

 

  

  

  

 

	
(d)  

	
Appointment of New Expert.  If within the time specified in Paragraph 4(a) above the expert will not have rendered a decision in accordance with his appointment, a new expert may (at the request of either party) be appointed and the appointment of the existing expert will thereupon cease for the purposes of determining the matter at issue between the parties save this if the existing expert renders his decision with full reasons prior to the appointment of the new expert, then this decision will have effect and the proposed appointment of the new expert will be withdrawn.

 

	
(e)  

	
Final and Binding.  The determination of the expert will, except for fraud or manifest error, be final and binding upon the parties.

 

	
(f)  

	
Costs.  Each party will bear its own costs for any matter referred to an expert hereunder and, in the absence of express provision in the Agreement to the contrary, the costs and expenses of the expert will be shared equally by the parties.

 

For greater certainty, the release of the Products for sale or distribution under the applicable marketing approval for the Products will not by itself indicate compliance by Patheon with its obligations for the Manufacturing Services and further that nothing in this Agreement (including this Schedule E) will remove or limit the authority of the relevant qualified person (as specified by the Quality Agreement) to determine whether the Products are to be released for sale or distribution.
