	Subject to clause 4, the purchase volumes for the first four (4) Quarters of each Forecast (“Binding Period”) shall be binding on the Parties save for the permitted variations set out in clause 3.6 below. Each Quarter of a Binding Period shall be considered a “Binding Quarter”.

FIRST FORECAST FOLLOWING THE COMMENCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT

	Quarter relative to the Effective Date
	Forecasted Product Volumes as at Effective Date

	Q1 (Quarter or part thereof, in which the Effective Date falls)
	[***] Products (i.e. tablets)* – Fixed and final Purchase Order

​

8
​

​

	

	

	Q2 (First full Quarter after Q1 above)
	[***] Products (i.e tablets)* – Anchor Point (subject to +/- [***]% tolerance as per clause 3.6)

	Q3 (The full Quarter after Q2 above)
	0 (nil) – Anchor Point (subject to +/- [***]% tolerance as per clause 3.6)

	Q4 (The full Quarter after Q3 above)
	[***] Products (i.e. tablets)* – Anchor Point (subject to +/- [***]% tolerance as per clause 3.6)

​
*Such volume comprising approximately [***]% 5mg Product and [***]% 10mg Product
FORECASTS FOLLOWING THE INITIAL BINDING QUARTER AND FOR THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT
	3.6
	As part of each Forecast, the forecast volumes for any Binding Quarter of the Binding Period which already has an Anchor Point set, may only be revised by the Purchaser within a range of +/-[***]% of the Anchor Point for that Binding Quarter. For the avoidance of doubt, this would normally be the first, second and third Binding Quarters in each Binding Period.

	3.7
	As part of each Forecast, for any Binding Quarter of the Binding Period which does not yet have an Anchor Point, the forecast volumes for that Binding Quarter in that Forecast shall set the Anchor Point for that Binding Quarter under all subsequent Forecasts. For the avoidance of doubt, this would normally be the fourth Binding Quarter in each Binding Period.

	3.8
	The revised forecast volume for the first Binding Quarter of each Binding Period (which in accordance with clause 3.6 must be within the range +/-[***]% of the Anchor Point for that Binding Quarter), shall be considered fixed and final. Alongside such Forecast, the Purchaser shall simultaneously issue a Purchase Order for the relevant volume of Product for that first Binding Quarter in accordance with the Forecast.

	3.9
	Purchaser shall act in good faith when forecasting its requirements for Products.

	4.
	LEAD TIME AND PURCHASE ORDERS

	4.1
	The Purchaser shall place Purchase Orders, such Purchase Orders to include all the information set out in clause 4.4, in accordance with:

	4.3
	The Supplier shall be under no obligation to accept a Purchase Order to the extent that the volume of Products ordered exceeds [***] Products (i.e. tablets) in any Quarter (“Quarterly Maximum”), save that the Supplier shall use commercially reasonable endeavours to fulfil the Purchase Order

​

9
​

​

in respect of quantities ordered in excess of the Quarterly Maximum with such quantities of Product as can be reasonably made available to the Purchaser, save that for the avoidance of doubt, and subject to clause 5.2, this shall not oblige the Supplier to forego or otherwise prioritise supply of Products to the Purchaser over the Supplier’s own need for Products.
	4.4
	Purchase Orders must set out the following:

		4.4.1
	Purchase Order Number;

		4.4.2

		4.4.3

	STOCKS, QUALITY AND STORAGE

	5.1
	If limitations (howsoever arising) in Available Manufacturing Capacity mean that the Supplier is unable, or anticipates that it will be unable, to supply, in whole or in part, the quantity of a Product set out in any Purchase Order that is below the Quarterly Maximum, whether or not while also meeting the Supplier’s own requirements for that Product, (an “Inability to Supply”), the Supplier shall notify the Purchaser of the Inability to Supply within a reasonable time of discovery of the same by the Supplier, including the underlying reasons for the Inability to Supply, proposed remedial measures and the date that the Inability to Supply is expected to end. Subject to its compliance with clause 5.2, the Supplier shall not be considered to be in breach of this Agreement in respect of any Inability to Supply.

	5.2
	In the event of an Inability to Supply, the Purchaser shall be entitled to a proportion of the Available Manufacturing Capacity in respect of each Product affected by the Inability to Supply (“Purchaser’s Allocation”) in accordance with the Formula in SCHEDULE 3: . The Supplier shall use reasonable endeavours to fulfil Purchase Orders as far as the Purchaser’s Allocation will allow until the Inability to Supply is resolved. The Purchaser’s Allocation shall be calculated in respect of each type of Product (i.e. 5mg, 10mg and, if applicable, 25mg Products) that the Inability to Supply affects.

	5.3
	Once an Inability to Supply has arisen, that Inability to Supply shall continue (and clauses 5.1 and 5.2 above shall apply to any Purchase Orders received during such Inability to Supply) until such time as the Available Manufacturing Capacity exceeds the total of:

		5.3.1
	the shortfall in supplies of Product that have accumulated under all Purchase Orders; plus

		5.3.2
	the shortfall in Supplier’s own needs for the Product that have arisen since the Inability to Supply commenced; plus

		5.3.3
	the Purchaser’s Forecast for the next Binding Quarter; plus

​

10
​

​

		5.3.4
	the Supplier’s own need for the Product during that next Quarter.

	5.4
	Supplier warrants that, at the time of delivery, the Products supplied to the Purchaser by the Supplier under this Agreement shall:

		5.4.1
	have been Manufactured in accordance with the Specifications (subject to clause 5.4.2);

		5.4.2
	have been Manufactured and supplied in accordance with the Good Manufacturing Practice.

	5.5
	Subject to legal title having passed pursuant to clause 8.1, the Supplier warrants that all Products supplied pursuant to this Agreement shall be sold with good title, and free from any lawful security, interest, lien or encumbrances

	5.6
	The Supplier shall use commercially reasonable endeavours to ensure that Products are properly packed and secured in a manner to enable them to reach their destination in good condition.

	5.7
	The Supplier shall use commercially reasonable endeavours to ensure that it, or as applicable its third-party service provider, obtain and maintain in force for the duration of the Term all licences, permissions, authorisations, consents and permits needed to supply the Products in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

	5.8
	Once per year, the Purchaser (or its professional advisers) may, at the Purchaser’s cost, inspect, audit, take copies of relevant records and other documents as necessary to verify the Supplier’s compliance with this Agreement (“Audit”). In order to exercise its right to carry out an Audit in accordance with this clause 5.8, the Purchaser must provide written notice to the Supplier of the Purchaser’s intention to carry out an Audit. Following the Supplier’s receipt of such notice, the Parties shall agree a date and time for the Audit to take place (Supplier’s agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), such date to be no sooner than 20 Business Days from the Supplier’s receipt of the Purchaser’s written notice.

	5.9
	The Parties agree to use commercially reasonable endeavours to execute a quality and technical agreement within 90 days of the Effective Date of this Agreement (“Quality Agreement”).

	5.10
	The Purchaser shall not market, import and/or sell the Products, or have its third party contractors market, import and/or sell the Products in a jurisdiction outside those contemplated by the Regulatory Requirements (“New Jurisdiction”) without the prior written approval (in principle) of the Supplier (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). For the avoidance of doubt, this clause 5.10 shall not operate to restrict the Purchaser’s ability to market, import and/or sell the Products within the United Kingdom, Switzerland and European Economic Area, and no such written approval shall be required in respect of these markets.

	5.11
	If the Regulatory Requirements change, or, having first obtained the Supplier’s approval in principle in accordance with clause 5.10 (where required), the Purchaser wishes to market, import and/or sell the Products or have its third party contractors market, import and/or sell the Products in a New Jurisdiction, the Purchaser shall notify the Supplier immediately on becoming aware and the parties shall work together in good faith to ensure the Products remain compliant with the Regulatory Requirements or with the Applicable Laws of the New Jurisdiction (as applicable).

​

11
​

​

	5.12
	The Supplier shall not be obliged to supply any Products which would be in breach of the Regulatory Requirements or the Applicable Laws of the New Jurisdiction. Once the Parties agree in writing that the Products comply with the Applicable Laws of the New Jurisdiction, the definition of Regulatory Requirements shall be deemed amended automatically to include reference to the New Jurisdiction.

	6.
	DELIVERY

	6.1
	Delivery of the Products shall be Ex Works Delivery Location (Incoterms 2020). Subject to the Lead Time, delivery shall be made by the Delivery Date.

	6.2
	A Batch of Products shall be subject to a volume tolerance of plus or minus [***] per cent (+/- [***]%) and therefore a Batch shall be considered properly delivered and the order in respect of that Batch fulfilled where the number of Products is within such [***] per cent ([***]%) tolerance.

	6.3
	To the maximum extent permitted by law, delays in the delivery of Products shall not entitle the Purchaser to:

		6.3.1
	refuse to take delivery of Products;

		6.3.2
	claim damages; or

		6.3.3
	terminate this Agreement, subject always to clause 24.5.

	6.4
	Supplier shall have no liability for any failure or delay in delivering Products to the extent that any failure or delay is caused by the Purchaser’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement.

	6.5
	If the Purchaser fails to take delivery of Products by the Delivery Date, then, except where that failure or delay is caused by Supplier’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement:

		6.5.1
	delivery of Products shall be deemed to have been completed at 9.00 am on the Delivery Date; and

		6.5.2
	Supplier or its subcontractors shall store Products until delivery takes place, and charge the Purchaser for all related costs and expenses (including insurance).

	6.6
	Each delivery of Products shall be accompanied by a delivery note from Supplier showing the Purchase Order Number, the date of the Purchase Order, the type and quantity of Products included in the Purchase Order, including the batch numbers of the Products, and, in the case of Products being delivered by instalments, the outstanding balance of Products specified in a Purchase Order remaining to be delivered.

	7.
	DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS

	Supplier shall not be liable for the Product’s failure to comply with clause 5.4 in any of the following events:

		7.2.1
	the Purchaser makes any further use of those Products after giving notice in accordance with clause 7.1;

		7.2.2
	the defect arises because the Purchaser failed to follow Supplier’s oral or written instructions for the storage, handling or use of the Products or (if there are none) good trade practice regarding the same;

		7.2.3
	the defect arises as a result of wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal storage or working conditions; or

		7.2.4
	the Products differ from the Specifications as a result of changes made to ensure they comply with Applicable Laws.

	7.3
	If Purchaser rejects Products under clause 7.1 then the Purchaser shall be entitled to:

		7.3.1
	require the Supplier to replace the rejected Products; or

	27.1
	If a dispute arises out of or in connection with this Agreement or the performance, validity or enforceability of it (“Dispute”) then except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Parties shall follow the procedure set out in this clause 27:

		27.1.1
	either Party shall give to the other written notice of the Dispute, setting out its nature and full particulars (“Dispute Notice”), together with relevant supporting documents. On service of the Dispute Notice, the contract manager of Supplier and contract manager of the Purchaser shall attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute;

		27.1.2
	if the contract manager of Supplier and contract manager of the Purchaser are for any reason unable to resolve the Dispute within 30 days of service of the Dispute Notice, the Dispute shall be referred to an executive officer of Supplier and executive officer of the Purchaser who shall attempt in good faith to resolve it; and

		27.1.3
	if the executive officer of Supplier and executive officer of the Purchaser are for any reason unable to resolve the Dispute within 30 days of it being referred to them, the Parties agree to enter into mediation in good faith to settle the Dispute in accordance with the CEDR Model Mediation Procedure. To initiate the mediation, a Party must serve notice in writing (“ADR Notice”) to the other Party to the Dispute, referring the dispute to mediation. A copy of the ADR Notice should be sent to CEDR. Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties within 10 days service of the ADR Notice, the mediator shall be nominated by CEDR. Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, the mediation will start not later than 30 days after the date of the ADR Notice.

No provision in this Agreement should be construed as precluding a Party from bringing an action for injunctive relief or other equitable relief.  To the extent a payment alleged to be due under this Agreement is the subject of a bona fide good faith dispute asserted by the Purchaser, the Supplier shall continue to provide all services as required by this Agreement during the pendency of the dispute so long as Purchaser timely pays (including the allowance of 7 days cure period) all undisputed amounts due under this Agreement and can only withhold payment of disputed amounts where there is a bona fide good faith dispute.
	27.2
	No Party may commence any court proceedings under clause 37 in relation to the whole or part of the Dispute until 90 days after service of the ADR Notice, provided that the right to issue proceedings is not prejudiced by a delay.

	WAIVER

	30.2
	A failure or delay by a Party to exercise any right or remedy provided under this Agreement or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict any further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy provided under this Agreement or by law shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

	30.3

	33.4
	Each “Stand-By Contract” with a Relevant Sub-Supplier shall be a letter agreement reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, and which may not be agreed without the Supplier’s written approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), providing that upon receipt of notice from Purchaser, each Relevant Sub-Supplier shall, in respect of the Product for use in the Territory (as defined in the Sub-License Agreement), agree to provide Purchaser with broadly equivalent manufacturing and supply services and products (as appropriate) as Supplier receives under its contract with the Relevant Sub-Supplier.

	33.5
	Purchaser shall be the lead negotiator with each Relevant Sub-Supplier in respect of any such Stand-By Contract and shall keep Supplier reasonably informed as to the progress of the negotiations.  Supplier shall, for a period of six months from the Effective Date, reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in connection with Purchaser negotiating and entering into such Stand-By Contracts.

6.APPORTIONMENTS
	6.1
	Periodical outgoings

Where any periodical outgoings arising from or attributable to the carrying on of the Business and/or the ownership, occupation and/or use of the Assets (except for the Property) relate to the period both before and after the Transfer Time, they shall be apportioned in accordance with clause 6.3.  (Periodical outgoings include rents, rent charges, service charges, rates, insurance premiums, gas, water, electricity and telephone charges, royalties, salaries, wages and other emoluments and all contributions for which the Seller or Purchaser is liable as an employer in respect of any Employee under any contractual or statutory obligation (including holiday pay, holiday entitlement, tax, national insurance contributions and contributions to retirement benefit schemes).)
	6.2
	Periodical receivables

Subject to clause 9, all rents, royalties and other periodical receivables attributable to the carrying on of the Business and/or the ownership, occupation and/or use by the Seller of the Assets (except for the Property) before the Transfer Time shall belong and be payable to the Seller and, as from the Transfer Time, shall belong and be payable to the Purchaser.  Where such receivables relate to the period both before and after the Transfer Time, they shall be apportioned in accordance with clause 6.3.
	6.3
	Apportionment

The outgoings and receivables under clauses 6.1 and 6.2 shall, if necessary, be apportioned as follows:
		(a)
	those which are referable to volume of use shall as far as practicable be apportioned according to the volume used; and

		(b)
	all others shall be apportioned on a time basis.

All expenditure and outgoings in respect of the Business or the Assets and all payments (excluding any amounts in respect of VAT) received in respect of the Business or the Assets which, in each case, cover a period both before and after the Completion Date will be apportioned so that the part of the relevant expenditure or payment that is attributable to a period up to and including the Completion Date will be borne by, or be for the benefit of, the Seller and the part of the relevant expenditure or payment that is attributable to the period after the Completion Date will be borne by, or be for the benefit of, the Purchaser.  Where a payment received in respect of the Business or the Assets falls to be apportioned under this paragraph, the VAT received in respect of that payment shall be apportioned to the party that has to account (or whose representative member, where there is a VAT group, has to account) for such VAT.
Any claim for apportionment and payment shall be made by the Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, by notice in writing to the other supported by copy documents evidencing the amount of the same and the calculation of the apportionment.  All sums due will be paid within 10 Business Days of receipt of such notice of apportionment.  If any dispute shall arise between the Seller and the Purchaser as to the amount of any apportionment, such dispute may be referred at the request of either the Seller or the Purchaser for determination by the Expert (as defined in the SPA) in accordance with part 2 of schedule 5 of the SPA mutatis mutandis.

	7.1
	This agreement constitutes an assignment to the Purchaser of the benefit of each Contract:

(a)which can be assigned by the Seller without any Third Party Consent; and
		(b)
	which cannot be so assigned, but in respect of which such Third Party Consent has been obtained at or before the Transfer Time,

in each case, with effect from the Transfer Time.
	7.2
	Insofar as the benefit of any of the Contracts cannot effectively be transferred to the Purchaser except by way of novation or with a Third Party Consent to an assignment and such Third Party Consent has not been obtained at or before the Transfer Time:

		(a)
	this agreement shall not constitute an assignment or an attempted assignment of such Contract;

		(b)
	the Seller shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure that such Contracts are novated or to obtain such Third Party Consent as soon as practicable after the Transfer Time; and

		(c)
	upon any such Third Party Consent being obtained, this agreement shall constitute an assignment of the benefit (subject to the burden) of the Contract to which the Third Party Consent relates.

	7.3
	Until each Contract to which clause 7.2 relates has been novated or assigned to the Purchaser or, if earlier, has terminated on the expiry of its term, or otherwise been terminated by the relevant counterparty:

		(a)
	the Seller shall:

		(i)
	continue to use all reasonable endeavours to obtain that Third Party Consent as soon as possible;

		(ii)
	hold the benefit of such Contract on trust for the Purchaser absolutely and shall, as soon as practicable after receipt, account for and pay or otherwise transfer to the Purchaser any monies, goods or other benefits received by the Seller in respect of the Contract without any deduction or set-off;

	(so far as it lawfully may) act (without unreasonable delay) in accordance with the reasonable directions of the Purchaser (but at the Purchaser's expense) to provide for the Purchaser the benefits under the Contract; and

8.VAT and transfer taxes
	8.1
	The consideration for any supply for VAT purposes made or deemed to be made under this agreement, including any non-monetary consideration shall be exclusive of any applicable VAT and/or Transfer Taxes. The party receiving the supply in question shall pay to the party making that supply (in addition to the consideration) all VAT for which the party making the supply is required to account in relation to that supply.

	8.2
	The parties believe that the sale of the Assets will be a TOGC, and they shall use their reasonable endeavours to procure that such sale is so treated by HMRC.  This obligation shall not require the Seller to make any appeal against any determination of HMRC that the sale does not amount to a TOGC. As soon as reasonably practicable following signature of this agreement the Seller shall, in conjunction with its third party advisers, prepare for delivery to the Purchaser reasonably detailed analysis with respect to a TOGC and shall liaise with the Purchaser to agree the scope of such information with the intent that such file will include the relevant information in reasonable detail to be provided to any Tax Authority in support of a TOGC.

	8.3
	If it is determined that the sale of any of the Assets under this agreement does not constitute a TOGC, or part of a TOGC, then the VAT chargeable by the Seller to the Purchaser shall be paid within ten Business Days of the receipt by the Purchaser of a valid VAT invoice and a copy of the confirmation from HMRC (such documentation to be delivered by the Seller as soon as possible after receipt from HMRC).

	The Seller warrants to the Purchaser that it is registered for UK VAT purposes under the VAT Act.

		(e)
	article 5(2B) of the Value Added Tax (Special Provisions) Order 1995 (as amended) does not apply to the Purchaser in relation to the purchase of the Property, and the Purchaser gives notice to the Seller to such effect,

​

and acknowledges that, if it is in breach of any such warranties and undertakings, VAT may be payable in relation to the Consideration.
