25.    Entire Agreement.

This is the entire Agreement between the parties hereto regarding the Product(s) and supersedes any prior agreements made between the parties regarding the Product(s). No prior statement, representation, promise or agreement, written or verbal, shall be of any force to vary, expand or diminish the provisions hereof. The Agreement may be modified or amended only by an instrument in writing, executed by both parties.

This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

26.    Improvement Activities. B&L will cooperate with AERIE in reviewing a combination of improvement activities that can be measured including cost improvements, line speed increases and change-over time reductions at B&L’s plant(s), lead time improvements, and others. Implementation of any such improvement activities that will impact the approved validated state of the AERIE process for manufacturing the Product(s) will only be made pursuant to mutual written agreement of B&L and AERIE. In good faith AERIE and B&L will work together in reviewing continuous improvement projects pursuant to this Section 26.

27.    Significant Product Volumes Increase. If product volumes increase significantly and capital investment is required to meet the new demand, B&L and AERIE will mutually agree in a good faith the capital investment and payment terms and conditions for new equipment and validation activities.

28.    Service Level & On Time Shipping Criteria.

A.    Customer Service levels must be maintained at a [***] level and on-time shipment rating must be maintained at [***] level. These metrics will be staged in over a [***] month period, after initial PO issuance. Both B&L and AERIE will need to collaborate/agree on Service Level and on-time measurement procedures. B&L shall not be liable for events of force majeure described in Section 18 above that affect the customer service levels.

B.    If B&L has [***] months below either metric of customer service level or on-time shipment rating in a fixed [***] month window (and other [***] months are at minimum or better) that [***] month period is considered acceptable. If [***] months out of a [***] month window are below either metric but the average is at or above metric, that period is considered acceptable. If the average is below metric, then the period is considered unacceptable. If there are [***] consecutive [***] month periods that are unacceptable, AERIE would then have the option to move a percentage of all requirements to an alternative manufacturer. Should a [***] month period (consecutive period) be acceptable, then the percentage moved (of requirements), at AERIE discretion, would remain with an alternate manufacturer. Should the [***] month period be unacceptable, AERIE has the option, at its discretion, to move [***]% of requirements to

an alternate manufacturer which may result in termination of this contract. Should the [***] month periods be acceptable, after the [***] unacceptable [***] month periods, than AERIE would revert to supply of the forecasted requirements per Section 7B from B&L.

C.    Should B&L perform at the minimum or better, Service Level and on-time shipment Levels, they will continue to supply AERIE’s forecasted requirements per Section 7B for items listed in Appendix C.

D.    In addition to the forecasted requirements per Section 7B and specified in Section 7D, AERIE will provide minimally an updated forecast for a [***] month period on the anniversary date of the effective date of this agreement until the NDA is submitted for the Products; following the submission of the NDA for the Products, AERIE will minimally provide an updated forecast for a [***] month period every [***] months from the submission date of the NDA until the approval of the NDA. This information will be used by B&L to assess and comply with the Service Level and On-time shipping criteria described above in Section 28 A and B.

E.    B&L upon written request from AERIE will provide annually an estimate of available capacity to manufacture AERIE’s Products for the following [***] years. This estimate is non-binding and may be revised following AERIE’s forecasts. Both B&L and AERIE will make a good faith effort to review and revise the Service Level and On-time shipping criteria based on this capacity assessment against the updated forecasted requirements.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have hereunto set forth their signatures as of the date set forth above.
