FORECASTS AND PURCHASING

Section 2.1 On or about ninety (90) days prior to ARC’s requested date for its first delivery of Product for commercial use (the “First Delivery Date”), ARC shall provide Supplier with a forecast of its monthly anticipated quantities of Product for the twelve (12) month period commencing upon the First Delivery Date. The parties agree that the First Delivery Date is intended

REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTION


to occur approximately one year prior to the date that ARC, in its good faith judgment, expects to receive approval of the Treatment from the FDA. Thereafter, by the end of each calendar quarter, ARC shall update this forecast to cover the twelve (12) month period beginning with the next calendar quarter. For each forecast, the Product quantities set forth for the first quarter (three (3) calendar months) of the forecast period shall be binding and the Product quantities set forth for the remaining nine months of the forecast period shall be non-binding but shall represent ARC’s best estimate of such Product quantities, using commercially reasonable efforts. For the first forecast only, the time from the First Delivery Date to the end of the then-current calendar quarter shall be added to and considered part of the first full calendar quarter of the first forecast and shall be binding. For clarity, if ARC reasonably expects to receive FDA approval of the Treatment on May 10,2017, (i) the First Delivery Date shall be May 10, 2016, (ii) ARC shall provide the first forecast to Supplier on or about February 10, 2016, (iii) the first quarter of the first forecast shall begin on May 10, 2016 and end on September 30, 2016, (iv) the second quarter of the first forecast shall begin on October 1, 2016, and (v) the first twelve (12) month forecast period shall end on June 30, 2017. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the First Delivery Date, ARC may order small quantities of Product from Supplier for non-commercial use (including but not limited to conducting clinical trials), and in no event shall the date of any such order or the delivery date of any such order be considered the First Delivery Date.

Section 2.2 Together with the submission of each forecast, ARC shall submit a purchase order specifying the requested delivery dates for the quantities of Product ARC is committing to order in the first quarter of such forecast (each, a “Purchase Order). Supplier shall accept all Purchase Orders for a given calendar quarter that are submitted in compliance with this Agreement. At ARC’s discretion, ARC may purchase additional quantities of Product in excess of the quantities in the forecast for such quarter.

Section 2.3 ARC agrees to purchase from Supplier its total requirements for Product during the Agreement Term, provided that Supplier continues to (i) supply ARC with Product conforming to the Specifications, and (ii) deliver Product conforming to the Specifications to ARC in such quantities and at such times as required by ARC. In the event that Supplier does not, or is unable to, meet its obligations as set forth in (i) and (ii) above, ARC shall be free to purchase Product from third parties, in amounts sufficient to meet ARC’s requirements, until such time as Supplier resumes supply of Product to ARC meeting such obligations.

Section 2.4 ARC hereby agrees to purchase the following minimum annual volumes of Product conforming to the Specifications during the Supply Term (Minimum Annual Volume Commitment orMAV Commitment):

Section 3.4 Supplier shall ship the Product FOB (lncoterms 2010) Blakely, Georgia. Title in the Product shall pass to ARC when the Product is loaded on the first transportation carrier.

Section 3.5 In the event that Supplier either (a) delivers Product that fails to conform to the Specifications, or (b) fails to ship Product to ARC within thirty (30) days of the applicable delivery date specified on a Purchase Order accepted by Supplier, ARC shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require either (a) a refund of the purchase price paid for the non-conforming or undelivered Product, as applicable, or (b) the prompt replacement or delivery of such non- conforming or undelivered Product.

ARTICLE IV

PRICING AND PAYMENT TERMS

Section 4.1 The price for Product conforming to the Specifications shall be equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of [***] price for such Product, attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Product price does not include any applicable excise, sales, use, withholding, luxury, turnover (value added), purchase, or similar tax of any kind. ARC shall be liable for payment of all such taxes, fees, and charges.

Section 4.2 ARC hereby acknowledges that Supplier may, from time to time, make changes to its [***] price for Product; provided, however, that (i) any such price changes shall not go into effect until January 1 of the following year and shall apply only to Purchase Orders submitted after that date, and (ii) in no event shall Supplier make any changes to the price of Product after November 1 of any year during the Supply Term.

provided, however, that Supplier may change the foregoing time period upon advance written notice to ARC in the event that ARC’s credit or financial responsibility has become, in Supplier’s discretion, unsatisfactory. In the event any payments become past due, such overdue amounts shall be subject to interest accrued at an annual rate equal to the maximum interest rate permitted by law.

Section 4.4 In the event that ARC fails to satisfy the applicable MAV Commitment in a given Contract Year, Supplier shall (i) be relieved of the obligations set forth in Section 3.3 herein, and (ii) have the option to renegotiate the Product pricing applicable to ARC.

ARTICLE V

Section 5.4 This Agreement may be terminated in its entirety by either Party immediately upon written notice upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(a) A Party’s material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation contained in this Agreement (other than with respect to the MAV Commitment) that is not excused by a Force Majeure Event and is not cured within thirty (30) days’ of receiving written notice from the non-breaching Party setting forth the details of such breach;
