PCA shall file with the FDA and/or any other Competent Regulatory Authorities, and shall maintain at all times as current, a DMF for the API.

3. Supply of API

3.1 Requirements. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, AMYLYX hereby agrees to purchase from PCA during the term of this Agreement [***] for the research, development and commercialization of the Finished Product and PCA hereby agrees to manufacture and supply to AMYLYX, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement [***], for the development and commercialization of the Finished Product. PCA, in addition, and without any additional; charge, fee or cost, grants to Amylyx, the right, to refer to and to use for the sole purpose of manufacturing and commercializing the Finished Product and subject to the Term of this Agreement, the DMF relating to the API necessary for the registration of and regulatory submissions with respect to the Finished Product. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, PCA represents and warrants that it will have and it will continue to have during the “Launch Period”, as hereinafter defined, the ability, capacity and materials to timely manufacture and supply to AMYLYX, and agrees to provide to AMYLYX, all API ordered by AMYLYX in accordance with the Forecast as defined and provided in Section 4 below and, in particular, without limitations, being fully applicable the procedures therewith provided under Section 4.1(a) and 4.1(b). For purposes of this Agreement, the Launch Period is defined to mean the [***] period commencing on the Effective Date and terminating at the end of the [***] following the Effective Date.

3.2 AMYLYX’s commitment referred under Section 3.1 shall remain in effect so long as PCA is able to fulfill AMYLYX’s requirements for quality, quantity and timely delivery of the API, pursuant to the provisions set forth herein. Otherwise, AMYLYX shall be entitled to purchase all portions of needed API from an alternative qualified supplier, as per Section 13.6 below without any breach or violation of this Agreement.

AMYLYX acknowledges that the API shall be used solely for the purpose of developing, producing and commercializing the Finished Product in accordance with all Regulatory Activities and in compliance with Law.

4. Forecast

4.1 Forecast.

(a) In order to enable PCA to plan the manufacturing process of the API, AMYLYX shall, within [***] days of the Effective Date, and then subsequently within [***] days of the commencement of each calendar quarter, transmit a forecast of its requirements of API and of estimated delivery dates for the following twelve (12) month period (“rolling twelve (12) month forecast”). Within [***] days of receiving AMYLYX’s rolling twelve (12) month forecast, and promptly at any other time that PCA identifies or reasonably anticipates a material problem that impairs its ability to supply AMYLYX, PCA will communicate to AMYLYX any prospective problems it might have in respect to meeting forecasted quantities or estimated delivery dates and both Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to remove the problems and/or to schedule otherwise the quantities and/or the delivery dates.


(b) In order to assist AMYLYX to understand the impact of AMYLYX’s purchases of API on PCA’s production and capacity, PCA and AMYLYX shall meet in-person at least [***] per year and at least [***] by conference call and more regularly as agreed to by the Parties, to evaluate AMYLYX’s planned purchases of API and PCA’s abilities to meet AMYLYX’s planned demand.

4.2 Firm and indicative forecast. The first [***] of each rolling twelve (12) month forecast shall be firm and binding for both Parties. Thus, except as provided for by Section 4.1 (a) above, PCA agrees to supply one hundred percent (100%) of the quantities ordered by AMYLYX for such a period.

The remaining period of each rolling twelve (12) month forecast (and the related quantities) shall be indicative only and not binding on either Party, provided that the quantities actually ordered by means of issuing purchase orders may deviate, upwards or downwards, from the most recent non-binding rolling twelve (12) month forecast to no more than [***] or less than [***] respectively. Thus, PCA agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to allocate manufacturing capacity and keep stock of raw materials and API sufficient to meet the non-binding portions of the then-current rolling twelve (12) month forecast and to accommodate any further increases in the quantity of API that AMYLYX shall request under new purchase orders.

AMYLYX agrees to purchase the inventory on hand of API manufactured by PCA in order to meet the [***] quantity forecasted by AMYLYX and which has not yet been purchased by the same at termination of this Agreement as per Article 13 below.

5. Purchase orders

5.1 Commencing on the date on which AMYLYX receives the relevant regulatory approval to sell the Finished Product, including the API manufactured by PCA, for commercial use in the Territory, AMYLYX will purchase the API under this Agreement by submitting written purchase orders (“P.O.”) [***] days prior to each delivery date as estimated in the then-current rolling twelve (12) month forecast. Each P.O. shall set forth: (i) the quantity of API; and (ii) the delivery address and INCOTERMS agreed upon in advance between the Parties.

5.2 The Parties agree that this Agreement, as amended from time to time, governs the commercial terms between them with respect to AMYLYX’s purchase of the API from PCA. Therefore, any terms or conditions set forth in a P.O. (other than those specified to be included by the preceding paragraph) that are either inconsistent with or in addition to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be binding on either Party and shall have no force or effect.

5.3 PCA shall accept in writing each P.O. promptly upon its receipt, unless the quantity specified in such P.O. is not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in which case PCA shall state in writing its reasons for rejecting any such P.O. as submitted by AMYLYX. In no case shall a P.O. be considered as accepted in the absence of a written confirmation from PCA as above. Any terms and conditions in PCA’s order acceptance that are either inconsistent with or in addition to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be binding on either Party and shall have no force or effect.

5.4 Each P.O. issued and accepted as per 4.1 above is to be deemed as binding for both Parties, without prejudice to any other provision set forth herein or in a subsequent agreement in writing between the Parties.

6. Delivery and acceptance

6.1 Delivery. The delivery of the API to AMYLYX shall be carried out “CIP/EX WORKS” the ship-to location specified, pursuant to Section 5.1 above, in the purchase orders issued by AMYLYX to PCA, as such term is defined in ICC INCOTERMS (2010).


The API shall be delivered in PCA’s normal packaging, as substantially reflected in its DMF and/or in the Specifications attached hereto.

PCA shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the API by the estimated delivery date. PCA shall notify AMYLYX in writing if PCA has reason to believe that the actual delivery will not occur within [***] days of the estimated delivery date. In the event that PCA cannot deliver API to AMYLYX within [***] days after the delivery date specified in a P.O., PCA agrees that AMYLYX may, in its sole discretion, elect to cancel such portion of a P.O. relating to such API and procure the API pursuant to Section 13.6, or accept partial or complete delivery at a later date specified by PCA.

6.2 Inspection and acceptance. The delivered API shall be deemed as fully accepted if AMYLYX does not notify PCA of the API’s proved Defect within [***] days after the documented date of receipt unless the Defect is a latent Defect that could not reasonably be discovered within [***] days in which event, AMYLYX shall notify PCA within [***] days of discovery. Thus, AMYLYX shall endeavour to promptly inspect the API upon receipt, at its own cost, pursuant to the cGMPs regarding the controls to be performed by the manufacturer of a Pharmaceutical Product over raw and incoming materials and shall give—by the aforementioned term — written notice of any claim, setting forth the details and giving evidence of such Defect or a latent Defect as the case may be.

6.3 Disputes. The Parties agree to consult with each other to resolve the discrepancy between each other’s determinations, if any, about any alleged Defect. If such consultation does not resolve the discrepancy within [***] days after identification of the discrepancy, then the Parties shall nominate a mutually agreeable reputable independent laboratory to test representative samples taken from such shipment. The results of such tests shall be binding on the Parties and the expense of such tests shall be borne by the Party against which the laboratory decided.

6.4 Reimbursement or Replacement. Subject to the resolution of any disputes regarding the Defective API pursuant to Section 6.3, if AMYLYX has paid for the Defective API, then PCA shall at no additional cost, using commercially reasonable efforts, promptly cause such Defective API to be replaced with API conforming to provisions under Section 8.1 or, at AMYLYX’s option, credit AMYLYX for the amount paid for such Defective API. All Defective API shall upon the request of PCA, and at its sole cost, be returned to PCA at the address set forth herein, packed and shipped according to instructions provided by PCA at PCA’s expense.

6.5 In case of Defective API, AMYLYX—if necessary—may utilize a secondary supplier selected pursuant to Section 13.6 as reasonably necessary to fulfil its requirements. AMYLYX may only make use of such secondary supplier in the event PCA is unable to fulfil any of its obligations as provided under Section 13.4 of this Agreement.

6.6 In case the Defect would be due to improper handling or storage conditions subsequent to delivery of the API, no liability will occur to PCA.

7. Price and payment

7.1 Price. AMYLYX shall pay to PCA for the delivered and accepted (which acceptance shall occur within [***] days of delivery), API the sum set forth in Exhibit A. including all applicable taxes, fees and export duties, according to the agreed Incoterms (hereinafter, “Price”). The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Price is fair and has been negotiated in good faith also taking into account: (i) the Research & Development and Regulatory Activities carried out and to be carried out by PCA; (ii) the related costs incurred by PCA and those that PCA shall bear in the performance of this Agreement with reference to the API; (iii) the expected date of Commercial Launch as represented by AMYLYX to PCA and the consequent volumes of API to be supplied by PCA.


7.2 The Price shall remain valid and in effect for [***] years as of the Commercial Launch of the Finished Product. After such [***] years period, the Price shall automatically further apply for an additional period of [***] years (hereinafter “Additional Period”), unless the Parties mutually agree upon a new price pursuant to the following Section 7.3.

7.3 In any event, upon completion of the Additional Period, if applicable, the Parties shall mutually agree to decrease, maintain or increase the Price with good faith negotiations to start [***] months prior to the above-mentioned term. The new Price agreed shall remain valid and in effect for the term agreed between the Parties or, in the absence of any such agreement, for [***] and will be indicated in Exhibit “A”, by means of a new Exhibit “A”, that will be attached to this Agreement.

7.4 In the event the Parties do not reach an agreement within [***] months from the commencing of the negotiations period referred to in Section 7.3, either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by means of [***] months prior written notice to the other Party, it being understood that during such notice period the last Price agreed to by and between the Parties shall apply and be in effect.

7.5 Invoicing and payment. PCA shall submit the invoice to AMYLYX upon shipment of the API and the full invoiced amount shall be paid by AMYLYX within net [***] days after the receipt of the invoice? All payments hereunder shall be payable in USD.

8. Quality and recall of the API

8.1 Quality. PCA warrants that the API will be of standard quality and will be manufactured in compliance with Law and cGMPs, as per the Specifications and the DMF. API delivered shall have a minimum retest date of not less than [***] years).

Quality of the API shall be according to the mutually agreed Specifications, as well as any official standards in the Territory applicable at the Effective Date, as detailed and confirmed by the DMF. Therefore, should new, more restrictive specification(s) become effective through new compendial monographs during the validity of this Agreement, the Parties will mutually evaluate in good faith the impact of the same on the performance of the Agreement.

8.2 Certificate of Analysis. When each Batch is delivered API shall be accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis stating the compliance of the API as per above. AMYLYX acknowledges, however, that it shall not be entitled to rely on the Certificate of Analysis or any such other certificate without the necessity for performing additional tests.

8.3 Recall. Except as herein noted, PCA shall not be responsible for the costs of any recall of the Finished Product ordered by a Competent Regulatory Authority or any other government agency or tribunal. However, if AMYLYX proves to PCA’s reasonable satisfaction, or a Competent Regulatory Authority or any other government agency or tribunal determines that the need for the recall arose, in whole or in part, from a demonstrated latent Defect in the API not detectable by AMYLYX during the inspections to be performed by the manufacturer of a Pharmaceutical Product over the incoming active ingredients and materials pursuant to Laws and cGMPs and pursuant to provisions under Section 6.2, AMYLYX shall notify PCA in writing within [***] days after the relevant Defect has come to AMYLYX’s notice and not more than [***] after the receipt of the Finished Product. If the Parties disagree as to whether such recall arose, in whole or in part, from a demonstrated Defect in the API, the matter will be submitted


to a mutually agreeable reputable independent laboratory for analysis to determine whether the API conformed or did not conform to the Specifications and/or requirements of Section 8.1. The test results obtained from such laboratory shall be final and binding upon both Parties. The fees and expenses of such testing shall be borne by the Party ultimately determined to have incorrectly judged whether the API met the said requirements. In the event that the API is deemed defective, PCA shall reimburse AMYLYX for all or a portion (in accordance with the following Section 8.4) of the reasonable and documented costs incurred in order to proceed such recall activities, or otherwise to comply with the order of the Competent Regulatory Authority or any other government agency or tribunal.

8.4 The Parties agree that the portion of the recall costs to be reimbursed by PCA under Section 8.3 shall be proportional to the relative role of such demonstrated defect in the API in causing the recall and the costs of recall activities..

8.5 Regulatory Registration. In so far as is necessary to allow for the production of the API and its importation and sale into the Territory, PCA will register its manufacturing facilities and the API with the FDA and any appropriate Competent Regulatory Authority, maintain at its sole cost said registrations during the term of this Agreement, allow inspections of such facilities by the FDA and foreign governmental authorities, maintain and make available to the FDA and other governmental authorities records, files, and any other documents relating to the manufacture, storage, shipping and quality of the API. PCA further agrees to work with AMYLYX to enhance the DMF as reasonably suggested by AMYLYX, or by the FDA or other Competent Regulatory Authority, including, without limitation, providing AMYLYX access to PCA personnel responsible for production, testing and validation and any related documentation, information or materials, so as to enable AMYLYX to obtain timely approval from the FDA or other Competent Regulatory Authority for the utilization of the API in the manufacture, distribution and sale of the Finished Product formulated using API manufactured by PCA. PCA further grants to AMYLYX and its Affiliates the right to refer to and to use for the sole purpose of manufacturing and commercializing the Finished Product and subject to the Term of this Agreement, the DMF relating to the API necessary for the registration of and regulatory submissions with respect to the Finished Product. PCA represents and warrants that it shall, at all times, maintain and keep current the DMF and that it shall fully cooperate and timely respond to any inquiry, comment or deficiency notification from the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority as to the DMF.

9. Records, audit and information

9.1 Records. PCA will keep complete and accurate records regarding the manufacture and the supply of the API, as required by Law, and agrees to give information regarding such records to AMYLYX, provided that the transmission of such information or records is permitted by applicable Law and is required by AMYLYX in connection with any FDA inspection or in order to obtain or maintain the approvals for the Finished Product from Competent Regulatory Authorities. PCA will provide AMYLYX full access to the open part of the DMF for the API.

9.2 Audit. Upon receipt of [***] days prior written notice from AMYLYX, PCA shall allow inspection of those areas of the facilities during normal business hours where the API is manufactured for AMYLYX or Affiliates. Upon receipt of [***] days written notice from AMYLYX, PCA shall allow inspection of any records regarding the manufacture and the supply of the API (including batch manufacturing records); provided, that, at a minimum, AMYLYX shall be given access generally to the types of documents that the FDA would customarily require for an FDA inspection.

9.3 Information. AMYLYX may request at any time, PCA to transmit to AMYLYX the reference number of the DMF as well as the “Applicant Part” of any DMF, describing the process employed by PCA for manufacture of API as envisaged in this Agreement to AMYLYX.


Each Party shall notify the other of any Competent Regulatory Authority’s notices of violation or deficiency letters relating to the API and/or the Finished Product, also delivering to the other Party data, information and redacted correspondence received by it from the Competent Regulatory Authority with respect to the API (or Finished Product) and cooperating at its own expense to the reasonable extent asked by the other Party in its response to the Competent Regulatory Authority.

10. Changes of Specifications, plant of manufacture and/or DMF

10.1 By PCA. In case PCA decides and/or is requested by Competent Regulatory Authority to change the Specifications, process or plant of manufacture, and/or the DMF, there, in either case, it shall first give written notice to AMYLYX, detailing the proposed process changes and obtain prior written approval to make such changes, that cannot be unreasonably denied. If AMYLYX demonstrates within a reasonable period of time after receiving PCA’s notice-that the change(s) proposed by PCA may disrupt: (i) the quality, quantity, timeliness or reliability of supply of the API, or (ii) AMYLYX’S ability to use the API in the manner used by AMYLYX prior to any such change(s), or (iii) the regulatory approval in any jurisdiction of Finished Product being marketed and sold by AMYLYX, then AMYLYX shall promptly inform PCA of its determination, and the Parties shall have an obligation to work in good faith to resolve AMYLYX’s concerns.

Upon the approval of such changes by AMYLYX, AMYLYX shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain the relevant approvals of Finished Product from the concerned Competent Regulatory Authority with the modified process of the API, if so required by Law, and shall cooperate in good faith with PCA in order to plan the implementation of the process change.

Until the time AMYLYX obtains the approval as above, or if AMYLYX does not approve the changes proposed by PCA, provided such non approval is based on reasonable grounds, PCA shall continue to manufacture and supply the API as per the last-approved process.

10.2 By AMYLYX. In case AMYLYX requires PCA to change the Specifications and/or the DMF or desires that PCA consider changing the process of manufacture, PCA—also based on AMYLYX’s detailed report regarding the implementation method of such changes and the purposes of the required changes—shall verify the feasibility of the required changes, based on the Law and on its capacity to adapt the manufacturing process already carried out, and shall notify AMYLYX as soon as possible of the result of such analysis.

PCA will use its commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate such changes, providing AMYLYX with an estimation of the relevant costs and both parties shall cooperate in order to draw up an amendment to the Specifications, if required by such changes. PCA shall carefully consider any recommendation made by AMYLYX with reference to the implementation of the proposed changes. Once PCA and AMYLYX have mutually agreed on an amendment to the Specifications, on the relative timeframes and general principles of proposed changes implementation and the costs therefore, PCA shall implement such changes and AMYLYX shall reimburse PCA for its costs in doing so.

10.3 By Law. In the event that Law applicable to PCA’ manufacturing activities requires PCA to change the Specifications or process of manufacture, and/or the DMF, PCA shall carry out all the changes pursuant to such Law and AMYLYX, where required, shall assist PCA. Should the changes above involve relevant additional costs or investment in manufacturing the API, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith appropriate compensation of PCA for such additional costs (which may either take the form of a cost reimbursement or a proportional increase of the supply price of the API).


10.4 It remains understood and agreed, that, in any case of change as per articles above, PCA will continue carrying out all of its activities in compliance with mandatory laws applicable to its activities under this Agreement.

11. Warranty

Confidential Information. In carrying out this Agreement, each Party may have access to Confidential Information of the other Party. It is understood and agreed that such access is exclusively intended for the purposes of the performance of this Agreement and does not amount, directly and/or indirectly, to an assignment for any reasons of such Confidential Information to the other Party.

The Parties also undertake not to communicate Confidential Information to others, except where this is required under the Law, any Competent Regulatory Authority, competent judicial authorities or other competent authorities, or serves purposes that are closely related to the performance of this Agreement, and then only upon the giving of advance notice to the other Party, where it is legally possible to do so, to permit the Party to obtain appropriate protections against the further disclosure of its Confidential Information. The Parties additionally undertake to adopt all reasonable precautions to ensure that their own employees and/or collaborators comply with the provisions made herein.

A Party may not disclose Confidential Information to any entity whatsoever apart from its own employees, representatives, and professional consultants requiring this information, on a strictly “need to know basis”, provided that they are directly involved in the project. In such a case the Party disclosing Confidential Information shall have the responsibility to ensure that any entity to whom Confidential Information is communicated complies with the conditions laid down herein exactly as if that entity were a party to this Agreement.

This prohibition on assignment shall in no way restrict or prohibit the assignment or transfer of the rights provided hereunder to any Affiliates.

Should an event of Force Majeure occur, the Parties, in good faith, shall take any reasonable and appropriate steps to minimize the prejudicial effects of any such event on the performance of this Agreement and make any reasonable efforts aimed at avoiding termination of this Agreement.

In the case of a Force Majeure event, the infringing Party shall not be subject to responsibilities for its infringements of obligation set forth in this Agreement which are directly due to the Force Majeure event.

15.3 No waiver. Failure by either Party to this Agreement to request execution of the provisions set forth herein will not and may not be regarded as a waiver either of said provisions or of the future compliance with them.

15.4 Independent Relationship. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to create an agency, joint venture or partnership relationship between the Parties. Neither Party shall have any power to enter into any contract or commitments or to incur any liabilities in the name of, or on behalf of, the other Party, or to bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever.
