RB acknowledges that the Foil Serialization Technology is newly developed by the E-Pedigree Manufacturer and has never before been installed, tested, or validated by the E-Pedigree Manufacturer and, as a result, the parties are at the time of signing this Agreement unable to guarantee the performance of the Foil Serialization Technology or the effectiveness, value, safety, merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose of the Foil Serialization Technology, or any part thereof, or its impact on the manufacture or supply of the Products under this Agreement. MSX agrees to coordinate the purchase, installation, testing, validation and qualification of the Foil Serialization Technology by the Foil Supplier and to use its best efforts to ensure that the Foil Serialization Technology is purchased, installed, tested, validated and qualified, in order to enable MSX to manufacture and supply the Products in accordance with the Product Specifications (the “Serialized Products”) for Launch (or if this is not possible as soon as soon as possible thereafter). Thereafter MSX shall manufacture and supply the Serialized Product in accordance with the Serialized Product Specifications subject to the following conditions, which conditions shall be and remain in effect only until such time as (i) MSX shall be required by state law to comply with the E-Pedigree Regulations, or be required by federal law to comply with a comparable electronic pedigree prescription drug supply chain tracking and tracing system, in connection with the manufacture and supply by MSX of Serialized Products under this Agreement (the “Effective E-Pedigree Regulations”) in accordance with the provision of Clause 3.13 or (ii) MSX has complied with its obligations under Clause 3.14 and successfully manufactured such volume of Serialized Products (as specified in Clause 3.14) in accordance with the Serialized Product Specification such that MSX shall thereon be responsible for ensuring all Products produced under this Agreement comply with the Serialized Product Specifications (and MSX shall no longer be able to produce to the Non-Serialized Product Specifications (as defined below)), whichever is the earlier:
 
11

3.11.1
In the event that the Foil Serialization Technology fails or causes a material adverse impact on the manufacture and supply of the Film or the Products or the timely delivery of same, RB and MSX agree to suspend the use of the Serialization Technology in the manufacture and supply of the Product until the cause of such material adverse impact has been cured or the parties agree in writing to abandon the Serialization Technology, and MSX shall thereafter resume the manufacture and supply of the Products which meet the Product Specifications not including the Serialized Product Specifications, (the “Non-Serialized Product Specifications”) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. MSX shall promptly notify RB upon becoming aware of any such failure or material adverse impact. During the period while MSX is manufacturing and supplying the Product (including any Serialized Product or Non-Serialized Product) under this Clause 3.11, MSX shall arrange with the Foil Supplier to maintain an appropriate rolling amount of inventory of Foil (the “Foil Stock”) which is reasonably anticipated as necessary to avoid any material delay In the manufacture and supply of Product in compliance (with the Non-Serialized Product Specifications required as a result of such failure or material adverse impact. RB shall reimburse MSX for the cost of any unused Foil Stock providing that MSX has used reasonable efforts to ensure such unused Foil waste is kept to a minimum;
 
3.11.2
MSX shall bear no cost for the purchase, installation, implementation, testing, validation or qualification of the Serialization Technology and RB agrees that the Cost of Goods Price shall be simultaneously increased to reflect any and all direct increases incurred by MSX (without mark-up thereof by MSX and based upon supporting documentation from MSX) during the Term in the purchase of Foil manufactured using the Foil Serialization Technology (the “Serialized Foil”), whether as an increase in the cost of purchase of the Serialized Foil and/or as an amortization charge by the Foil Supplier for the purchase, installation, implementation, testing, validation, and/or qualification of the Serialization Technology. MSX estimates that the Cost of Goods Price will be initially increased by the sum of (i) [***] per unit of Product for the cost associated with the purchase by MSX of the Serialized Foil plus (ii) [***] per unit of Product for the amortized cost of purchasing the Foil Serialization Technology by the Foil Supplier based upon the purchase by MSX of Serialized Foil required to make [***] of Serialized Products (a total estimated initial cost increase per unit of Product of [***]). The parties agree that if the Cost of Goods Price is initially increased for the amortization of the cost of purchasing the Foil Serialization Technology by the Foil Supplier, when such cost is fully amortized by the Foil Supplier, or if RB has otherwise fully paid MSX or the Foil Supplier all sums due to the Foil Supplier in respect of the Foil Serialization Technology, the Cost of Goods Price per unit of Serialized Product would thereafter be reduced by an amount equal to any such increase in the Cost of Goods Price for the amortized cost of purchasing the Foil Serialization Technology by the Foil Supplier. Such estimates shall not be binding on MSX and shall be adjusted and finalized by MSX upon receipt by MSX from the Foil Supplier of all final costs incurred in purchasing the Foil Serialization Technology, producing and supplying the Serialized Foil and all other related costs and expenses of the Foil Supplier. In the event of any suspension or abandonment of the manufacture and supply of the Serialized Product in accordance with Clause 3.11.1, the Cost of Goods Price for the purchase of all Products manufactured and supplied following such suspension or abandonment in accordance with the Non-Serialization Specifications shall revert to the Cost of Goods Price in effect prior to such increase and any unamortized costs for the purchase of the Foil Serialization Technology shall be paid by RB; provided, however, that RB may exercise any right and remedy (and MSX shall assist RB therewith) against the Foil Supplies to dispute such payment in the event that such suspension is not due to a failure of the Serialization Technology but is due to the fault of the Foil Supplier, including failure by the Foil Supplier to manufacture the Foil in accordance with the Serialized Foil specifications agreed to by MSX and the Foil Supplier;
 
12

3.11.3
The provisions under Clause 7.14 relating to RB’s rights to obtain pricing for Major Raw Materials from third parties, and MSX’s obligations to engage any other supplier or obtain a price reduction from its then-current Foil supplier in the event that a Price Change exceeds the Pharma Price Index shall not apply to any Price Change resulting from the purchase, installation, implementation, testing, validation, and/or qualification of the Foil Serialization Technology until RB has complied with its obligations under Clause 3.11.7 in respect of identifying and qualifying an alternative secondary supplier for the Serialized Foil and such engagement of an alternate Foil supplier or obtaining a, price reduction from its then current Foil supplier would not result in a breach of the agreement between MSX and its then current Foil supplier. MSX shall remain obliged to show documentary evidence of the Price Change;
 
3.11.4
MSX makes no representation or warranty with respect to the Serialization Technology including any representation or warranty under Clause 9 as it may relate to the Foil Serialization Technology;
 
3.11.5
MSX shall be excused from any and all unfulfilled manufacturing, supply and delivery performance obligations under this Agreement resulting from, relating to or in connection with Foil Serialization Technology including the purchase, installation, implementation, testing, validation, qualification and/or operation of the Foil Serialization Technology; provided, however, that nothing in this Clause 3.11.5 shall limit MSX’s obligation to manufacture and supply Product in compliance with the Non-Serialized Product Specifications as soon as possible in accordance with Clause 3.11.1 in the event and for such period of time that the parties determine to suspend the manufacture of Serialized Product and, in the event that the parties determine to terminate and abandon the manufacture of Serialized Product in accordance with Clause 3.11.1; for the remainder of the Term or the date upon which the E-Pedigree Regulations become effective, whichever is earlier;

3.11.6
MSX shall not be in default or breach under this Agreement, and RB shall not be entitled to withhold payment for non-conforming Products, or to terminate this Agreement for any reason with respect to any delay or incomplete delivery of, failure to deliver or delivery of non-conforming Products relating to, as a result of or in connection with the Foil Serialization Technology (including the purchase, installation, implementation, testing, validation, qualification or failure of the Serialization Technology), except to the extent caused by the breach by MSX of any of its obligations under this Clause 3.11;
 
3.11.7
RB and MSX agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to qualify an FDA approved secondary supplier of the Serialized Foil as soon as practicable after the Commencement Date. It is acknowledged that, due to importance of obtaining a secondary supplier of the Serialized Foil in order to reduce the risk of failure to supply the Serialized Foil, both parties will use their best efforts to qualify such secondary supplier within one (1) year of the FDA approval of the Product or as soon as possible thereafter. The parties further agree that RB shall be responsible for payment to MSX of all costs and expenses incurred by MSX in connection with the qualification of any secondary and/or replacement supplier of Serialized Foil in connection with the manufacture and supply of the Products under this Agreement if RB continues to require that the Products be manufactured and supplied using the Serialization Technology, or any part thereof, or substitute therefore, including without limitation, the cost of the purchase, installation, implementation, testing, validation, and qualification of the Foil Serialization Technology by the secondary and/or replacement supplier.
 
3.11.8
In addition to the exceptions and exclusions set forth in the foregoing provisions of this Clause 3.11, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or otherwise, none of the provisions of Clauses 5.5, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 7.9, 10.2, 13.10, 16.2, 17.3.4, 17.3.6, and 17.4 shall during the course of manufacture under this Clause 3.11 apply to the Foil Serialization Technology or any event or matter covered therein relating to, resulting from or in connection with the purchase, installation, implementation, testing, validation, qualification and/or failure of the Foil Serialization Technology, and MSX shall have no obligations or responsibilities with respect to the Foil Serialization Technology except as expressly set forth in this Clause 3.11 which for the avoidance of doubt expressly includes MSX’s obligations to manufacture and supply Products in compliance with Non-Serialized Product Specifications as soon as possible in accordance with Clause 3.11.1 in the event and for such period of time that the parties determine to suspend the manufacture of Serialized Product, and for the remainder of this Clause 3.11 in the event that the parties determine to terminate the manufacture of Serialized Product in accordance with Clause 3.11.1.
 
14

3.12
RB acknowledges that MSX shall have no interest in the Serialization Technology and that, MSX shall have no obligations to transfer or grant to RB, or to arrange the transfer or grant to RB of, any interest in the Serialization Technology under any circumstances at any time whether during the Term or upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, including, without limitation, the Foil Serialization Technology, and/or any Arising Intellectual Property Rights therein of the Foil Supplier under Clause 15 except to the extent such interests or Arising Intellectual Property Rights are in the possession or control of MSX and not subject to any third party restrictions on such transfer or grant to RB.
 
3.13
For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that MSX is required to comply with Effective E-Pedigree Regulations after the Commencement Date, MSX shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Product serialization data produced by MSX in compliance with the Effective E-Pedigree Regulations in a format which is compatible with RB’s Product distribution system; and (ii) from the date on which the Effective E-Pedigree Regulations come into effect (currently scheduled to become effective as of January 1, 2011) be fully responsible for ensuring all Products manufactured and supplied under this Agreement comply with all legislation and regulatory requirements including the Specifications and Serialized Product Specifications as may be amended to ensure compliance with the Effective E-Pedigree Regulations (including without limitation the envisaged requirement to ensure all Products are serialized and thereafter scanned before leaving the Manufacturing Site) and, for the avoidance of doubt, from this date MSX shall under no circumstances (including without limitation those set out Clauses 3.11.1 to 3.11.8) be released from any liability arising from the failure to manufacture and supply the Products to such Specifications in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
3.14
Following the date upon which each of the following has occurred (the “Product Serialization Acceptance Date”): (i) successful implementation of the Foil Serialization Technology; (ii) successful production of the Serialized Products in compliance with the Serialized Product Specifications at scale and consistent with applicable Product Order patterns for an uninterrupted period of three (3) consecutive months or a period of six (6) consecutive months after the Product Launch (whichever is the latter); and (iii) qualification of a secondary supplier of Serialized Foil in accordance with Clause 3.11.7; the Product Specification for the Products shall thereupon be permanently amended to include the Serialized Product Specifications. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Serialization Acceptance Date, MSX shall be responsible for ensuring that the Products manufactured and supplied under this Agreement are in compliance with the Serialized Product Specifications, and MSX shall be responsible for any failure to comply with such Serialized Product Specifications and, for the further avoidance of doubt, from and after the Product Serialization Date MSX shall under no circumstances (including without limitation those set out Clauses 3.11.1 to 3.11.8) be released from any liability arising from the failure to manufacture and supply the Products to such Serialized Product Specifications in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

4.
FORECASTS, ORDERS AND SUPPLY OF THE API
 
4.1
No less than one (1) month prior to the end of every calendar month, RB shall provide (or cause to be provided from its Affiliates) a forecast of its requirements for the Products for the [***] months (a “Forecast”), By way of example, this means that the Forecast for [***] to [***] (inclusive) of any year shall be provided by no later than the end of [***] in the previous year, and the subsequent Forecast for [***] to [***] of any year shall be provided by no later than the end of [***] in the previous year.
 
4.2
In respect of the [***] months of the Forecast, RB shall specify the date by which the Products are requested to be delivered (“Delivery Date”). RB’s requirements as set out in the [***] months of the Forecast shall be fixed and shall constitute a firm order binding on MSX (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement) for the delivery of, and on RB for the purchase of, those Products specified in the [***] months of the Forecast by the Delivery Date with delivery in accordance with Clause 5.1 (an “Order”). Once MSX receives the Forecast, MSX shall ensure that it has sufficient Raw Materials, packaging components and other materials necessary to manufacture RB’s requirements for Products as set out in the Order, and MSX shall use commercially reasonable efforts to acquire sufficient Raw Materials, packaging components and other materials necessary to manufacture [***] percent [(***%)] of RB’s requirements as set out in the remaining [***] months of the Forecast. For the avoidance of doubt this means that the Forecast given at the end of [***] shall be a binding Order for [***] and the Forecast given at the end of [***] shall be a binding Order for [***]. To the extent that the Forecast given in [***] would increase the Order for [***] as originally set in [***], MSX agrees to liaise with RB and use reasonable endeavours to meet such increase but failure to supply such increase shall not in any way constitute a breach by MSX of this Agreement and shall not constitute a failure by MSX to deliver an Order on time for the purposes of Clause 6.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, MSX shall be under no obligation to fill any Order that is for less than [***] units of a Product (the “Minimum Purchase Requirement”). RB shall have the right to delay the issuance of any firm Order for a reasonable period of time in order to combine such Order with one or more subsequent Orders for the purpose of meeting the Minimum Purchase Requirement (meaning that in order to meet the [***] unit Minimum Purchase Requirements RB can (subject to compliance with Clause 7.12) combine Orders for the same dose Product for different countries (such as [***] 2mg dose units for the UK and [***] 2mg dose units for the US (which therefore require different packaging requirements chargeable under Clause 7.3.2)) but cannot combine orders for different dose Products (such as [***] 2mg dose units and [***] 8mg dose units)).
 
4.3
RB shall supply, or arrange the supply of, API that conforms to the API Specification to MSX at the Manufacturing Site free of charge on the dates and in such quantities as are required by MSX for manufacture of the Products in the Forecasts and in connection with manufacturing validation and site transfer, together with the API’s Certificate of Analysis and Certificate of Compliance. Save as may be amended by the mutual written agreement of the parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such supply shall be made by RB to MSX DDP (Incoterms 2000) and on or before the delivery dates reasonably required by MSX in writing. RB will promptly notify MSX of any changes to the safety and handling procedures in relation to the API that are required by applicable law or Regulatory Authorities after the Commencement Date, and MSX shall comply with such changes with respect to all future Orders placed by RB at least ninety (90) days following receipt of notice thereof, or such earlier time as required by applicable law or Regulatory Authority. The purchase orders by MSX for API shall be made and filled in accordance with the procedure specified in Schedule Seven. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, MSX shall only use the API to manufacture and test the Product and for no other purpose whatsoever.
 
16

4.4
MSX shall test each batch or stock of the API delivered to MSX in accordance with the testing procedure set out in the Schedule Eight to determine its conformance with the necessary amounts and API Specification or for contamination during transit. If in the reasonable opinion of MSX, MSX determines that such API is contaminated or does not meet the API Specification or necessary amounts, MSX shall within twenty-one (21) days from the date of completion of such tests notify RB in writing of such defect or non-conformance, including the test results supporting MSX’s opinion.
 
4.5
If RB agrees that the API is contaminated or does not meet the API Specification, RB shall at no charge to MSX replace the defective or non-conforming API with API that meets the API Specification. If RB disagrees with the alleged defective or non-conformity of the API, samples of the alleged defective or non-conforming API shall be retested by an independent laboratory, mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing, to determine compliance with the API Specification. MSX and RB shall be bound by the results of such independent laboratory testing. The costs incurred in connection with independent laboratory’s testing of the API shall be borne by MSX if the API in question is found to conform to the API Specification or not defective and by RB if it is found not to conform to the API Specification or be defective. Any delay in the manufacture or supply of Products resulting from RB’s failure or delay in supplying API in accordance with the API Specification or MSX’s good faith reasonable belief pursuant to Clause 4.4 and this Clause 4.5 that the API does not meet the API Specifications or is defective, shall not constitute a default under or breach of this Agreement. The parties agree that in the event that the API is found to be defective, RB shall be responsible, at its costs, to identify and implement such remedial action as is necessary to rectify the issue and ensure that the API meets the API Specification.
 
4.6
Notwithstanding the terms of any DDP delivery (or any other delivery) of the API by RB to MSX, legal title to the API shall remain with RB after delivery to MSX. MSX shall use reasonable efforts to ensure proper storage and handling of the API once delivered to MSX. Risk of damage to, or loss of, the API shall pass from RB to MSX upon delivery as set out in Clause 4.3. MSX shall retain casualty insurance coverage for the expected inventory of the API (amounts expected to be supplied to MSX by RB for manufacture of the Product in the amounts set forth in the Forecasts) to cover damage to or loss of the API for so long as the API remains at MSX’s risk.
 
4.7
In the event that MSX manufactures Products which cannot be sold due to latent defects in the API supplied (and such defects are not caused by MSX’s negligent storage or handling), RB shall remunerate MSX for its costs of manufacturing such Products. In the event that MSX manufactures Products which cannot be sold due to latent defects in the API caused by MSX’s negligent storage or handling, MSX shall remunerate RB for the Cost of Goods Price for such Products, to the extent such Cost of Goods Price has been paid to MSX for such Products.
 
17

5.
DELIVERY OF THE PRODUCTS
 
5.1
Unless otherwise specifically stated, the Delivery Date shall be the date by which the Order shall be made available FCA (Incoterms 2000) at MSX’s loading dock at the Manufacturing Site, whereupon MSX shall be entitled to invoice RB for Cost of Goods Price in respect of the Products so delivered. An Order may request boxed shipping at an additional handling charge beyond the Cost of Goods Price. No Orders shall be shipped in boxes unless expressly agreed to by MSX in writing. Legal title to the Products and risk of damage to, or loss of, the Products shall pass from MSX to RB upon being made available at MSX’s loading dock at the Manufacturing Site on the Delivery Date in accordance with Clause 5.7. Any invoices sent to RB under this Clause 5.1 shall specify the Price in respect of the Products delivered, the quantity of Products delivered, the date of delivery and the amount of VAT or other taxes due in respect of the Products delivered, together with any applicable transportation costs (if any) associated with delivery.
 
5.2
MSX shall not be liable for any delay or failure to deliver hereunder after the Products leave MSX’s loading dock at the Manufacturing Site as set out in Clause 5.1.
 
5.3
Each shipment of Product shall be delivered to RB with:
 
5.3.1
a Certificate of Analysis and Certificate of Compliance;
 
5.3.2
in accordance with the Quality Agreement; and
 
5.3.3
any other documentation required by any applicable rule, law or regulation having jurisdiction over the shipment and supply of the Products.
 
5.4
RB shall be entitled to reject any Product delivered to RB (or its nominee) without a Certificate of Analysis, Certificate of Compliance or other documentation required under any applicable rule, law or regulation.
 
5.5
MSX recognises that late delivery of the Products may have an impact on RB’s obligations to its customers. MSX shall make all reasonable efforts to deliver Products by the Delivery Date requested by RB. The Delivery Date shall be reasonable based on MSX’s production capacity.
 
5.6
MSX shall manage any mutually agreed upon changes in writing to the Product Specification and the Packaging Specification, whilst maintaining the supply and delivery performance as set out herein. Changes to the Products shall be made with commercially reasonable speed of implementation, and meet the launch timings mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing or required by applicable law or Regulatory Authority. Inventory levels of Raw Materials, Film and the Products are to be communicated at least ninety (90) days prior to the change and usage agreed with RB in writing before the change is implemented. The parties shall agree in writing to the implementation date at least sixty (60) days prior thereto.
 
18

5.7
Legal title and risk in the Products shall pass to RB upon being made available FCA (Incoterms 2000) at MSX’s loading dock at the Manufacturing Site on the Delivery Date. MSX shall fully insure the Products (at a valuation based on MSX’s cost of manufacture plus the cost of API) for as long as they remain at MSX’s risk.
 
5.8
In the event there is an incomplete delivery of the Products to RB (or its nominee) pursuant to an Order, RB shall notify MSX in writing within twenty-one (21) days, identifying the amount of Product that has not been delivered. MSX shall use commercially reasonable efforts to rectify such incomplete delivery by supplying, the balance of the Products under such Order.
 
5.9
RB shall inspect and test the Products within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt thereof, and shall be entitled to reject such Products which do not conform to the Product Specification and withhold payment of the Cost of Goods Price for such non-conforming Products by giving written notice to MSX within forty (40) calendar days from receipt of such Products by RB.
 
5.10
Any written notice of rejection of the Products given by RB shall specify in sufficient detail the manner in which the Products fail to conform. If it is determined by written agreement between the parties (or, in the absence of written agreement of the parties, by an independent laboratory or consultant agreed upon by the parties in writing whose fees shall be paid by the non-prevailing party) that the non-conformity is due to:
 
5.10.1
damage to the Products caused by RB (or its nominee), including, without limitation, through improper Product storage or transit, after the delivery of the Products to RB (or its nominee), MSX shall have no liability to RB with respect thereto and RB shall promptly pay what is owed for such Products in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or
 
5.10.2
the negligence of MSX or breach by MSX of the terms of this Agreement, then MSX shall credit RB’s account with the Cost of Goods Price invoiced for such non-conforming Products (or in the event the Cost of Goods Price has been withheld by RB, waive any right to claim the Cost of Goods Price for such non-conforming Products from RB under this Agreement). RB will either return such non-conforming Product to MSX, or lawfully destroy such non-conforming Products (in each case at MSX’s written option and cost).
 
6.
CAPACITY, STOCK LEVELS AND TOOLING
 
6.1
Within six (6) months following the Commencement Date, and thereafter within the first calendar month of each Year, MSX shall provide to RB copies of its disaster recovery and contingency plans.
 
19

6.2
MSX shall inform RB when:
 
6.2.1
the Forecasts; and
 
6.2.2
any other third party orders for products other than the Products that use any tooling or machines which are used in the manufacture of the Products;
 
together meet or exceed [***] percent ([***]%) of the Manufacturing Capacity.
 
6.3
MSX represents and warrants that it will have the capacity to fill RB’s requirements for the Products set forth in any Order so long as the amount specified in the Order does not exceed [***] percent ([***]%) of the forecasted volume for such period as set out in the previous Forecast (or such other figure as RB and MSX may agree in writing from time to time). At RB’s reasonable written request, MSX shall provide RB with capacity information to demonstrate that the available capacity meets RB’s requirements. MSX shall promptly take commercially reasonable action to address to RB’s reasonable satisfaction any capacity issues identified in accordance with this Clause 6.3 and Clause 6.5.
 
6.4
MSX hereby agrees that, in the event that MSX’s success in meeting Orders (whether in terms of failure to meet either or both of the volume and/or the Delivery Date specified in the Orders) falls below [***] percent ([***]%) for any consecutive [***] period during which RB places less than [***] Orders (provided that in the case of any Order which exceeds [***] percent ([***]%) of the volume as set out for that period in the previous Forecast, MSX shall only be deemed to have failed to meet that Order for the purposes of this Clause 6.4 if it fails to deliver on the Delivery Date at least [***] percent ([***]%) of the volume set out in the previous Forecast), MSX shall thereafter hold [***] month stock of the Products, as set out in the latest Forecast, in advance of any Orders from RB.
 
6.5
In the event that:
 
6.5.1
MSX’s success in meeting Orders (whether in terms of failure to meet either or both of the volume and/or the Delivery Date specified in the Orders) falls below either (i) [***] percent ([***]%) for any consecutive [***] period during which RB places [***] Orders or more, or (ii) [***] percent (***%) for any consecutive [***] period during which RB places less than [***] Orders (provided that in the case of any Order which exceeds [***] percent ([***]%) of the volume as set out for that period in the previous Forecast, MSX shall only be deemed to have failed to meet that Order for the purposes of this Clause 6.5.1 if it fails to deliver on the Delivery Date at least [***] percent ([***]%) of the volume set out in the previous Forecast); or
 
6.5.2
if MSX is prevented from performance in view of an event of Force Majeure as set out in Clause 16.2;
 
then RB shall have the right to retain a temporary alternative supplier to manufacture and supply the Product, without prejudicing any other rights RB may have under this Agreement.
 
20

6.6
If RB elects to purchase the Product from an alternative supplier in accordance with Clause 6.5 above, MSX shall, if necessary:
 
6.6.1
grant RB and the alternative supplier a limited, personal, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence, without the right to sublicense, to use MSX’s applicable Intellectual Property Rights for such period as may be necessary for the alternative supplier to be able to supply Products pursuant to the Forecasts; and
 
6.6.2
use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly transfer such MSX Intellectual Property Rights under Clause 6.6.1 above subject to confidentiality and intellectual property agreements in the form reasonably satisfactory to MSX.
 
6.7
MSX shall provide all reasonable assistance regarding the identification, appointment and validation of any proposed alternative supplier of the Products in the event a supply issue under Clause 6.5 hereof arises. The parties agree to work together in good faith to procure the continued manufacture and supply of the Products from MSX as soon as reasonably practicable following the resolution of the manufacturing problem by MSX.
 
6.8
At the recommencement of the supply of the Product by MSX pursuant to Clause 6.7 above, the licence to use MSX Intellectual Property Rights to make, have made and import the Products shall cease immediately thereupon. Supply of all Products to RB by MSX will resume immediately thereupon. Except as otherwise provided in Clause 6.5 above, RB shall source the Products exclusively from MSX during the Term.
 
6.9
The provisions of Clause 6.5 and 6.6 shall not apply, and subject to Clause 5.9, RB shall not be entitled to withhold payment for Products, where a delay or failure to deliver arises due to the delay or failure of RB to deliver the quantities of API ordered by MSX, where the API delivered by RB fails to meet the API Specification or is contaminated, or is due to any other delay, fault or failure attributable to RB or any of its Affiliates or assigns and, in each case, MSX shall not be in default under or breach of this Agreement for any corresponding failure or delay in the manufacture or delivery of Products.
 
6.10
MSX represents and warrants that, subject to Clause 6.12 and the receipt of binding Orders from RB for such stock materials, it will maintain sufficient stock levels of the Film (which subject to Clause 6.11 below shall be no less than [***] months) to provide flexibility and to respond in a commercially reasonable manner to increases in RB’s demand.
 
6.11
MSX will use commercially reasonable efforts to carry out such stability testing as is necessary to demonstrate that the storage of the Film (whether in the form of Master Rolls or in Daughter Rolls (being a Master Roll divided into approximately [***] equal rolls)) in accordance with Clause 6.8 shall not adversely affect the manufacture of the Products and that the Products will remain within the Product Specification and the Packaging Specification. If MSX is unable to demonstrate that the storage of the Film for [***] months or more shall not adversely affect the manufacture of the Products and/or the maintenance of the Products within the Product Specification and the Packaging Specification, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a suitable shorter duration of commercially reasonably possible storage under the circumstances and the duration specified in Clause 6.10 shall be adjusted accordingly.
 
21

6.12
RB warrants and represents that it shall reimburse MSX for all reasonable third party costs incurred by MSX in storing the Film and carrying out the stability testing as specified in Clauses 6.10 and 6.11, respectively. Such costs shall be invoiced by MSX to RB following MSX incurring the obligation to make payment of such costs and these invoices shall be paid by RB within the time set forth in such invoices, but in no event later than thirty (30) days from receipt thereof.
 
6.13
Where any Tooling is provided or funded by RB, if any (including in accordance with the provisions of Clause 15.17), ownership, title and interest in such Tooling shall at all times belong to RB and MSX shall throughout the Term keep and maintain the sign and/or sticker on the Tooling indicating the sole ownership of the property of RB.
 
7.
PRICE AND PAYMENT
 
7.1
The price for the Products (the “Price”) shall be as set out in Clause 7.2 and all references to sums payable shall be in U.S. dollars (USD) unless specifically indicated to the contrary in this Agreement.
 
7.2
The Price payable by RB to MSX for the Products shall be the Cost of Goods Price for the Year of manufacture, subject to minimum Order price adjustments and additional packaging fees, if any, in accordance with Clause 7.3 below.
 
7.3
RB agrees that, during the Term, the Price for each of the Products shall be adjusted as follows:
 
7.3.1
the Price for each Product shall be increased in the event that RB fails to satisfy the minimum Order requirements for each Order as set forth below:
 
(i)          each Order that is for [***] or more, but less than [***] units of a Product, the Price for each such Product shall be increased by [***] U.S. dollars (USD$[***]); and
 
(ii)          each Order that is for less than [***] units of a Product, the Price for each such Product shall be increased by [***] U.S. dollars (USD$[***]); and where in this Clause 7.3 Order shall mean any Order composed of the same dose Product for different countries (such that a requirement for [***] 2mg dose units for the UK and [***] 2mg dose units for the US would be an Order for [***] units) but shall not include any combination of orders for different dose Products (such that a requirement for [***] 2mg dose units and [***] 8mg dose units would be considered as two separate Orders for [***] units each).
 
7.3.2
In the event that any Order requests more than one packaging for the Products covered by such Order, RB shall pay a lump sum amount for each additional packaging request in the amount of [***] Dollars (USD $[***]), regardless of the number of units of Product covered by such new packaging request (the “Packaging Fee”). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that any Order that is for [***] units of a Product or more shall not be adjusted as to price per each Product by a request under such Order for multiple packaging of such Products but RB will pay any applicable Packaging Fees for such Order.
 
22

7.4
Subject to Clauses 7.5 to 7.7, in addition to the fees under Clause 7.1, RB shall pay to MSX a royalty of the sum of the following:
 
7.4.1
[***] of the Net Sales Value of the Products sold during the Term in the U.S. up to a maximum annual royalty of USD$9,000,000 (nine million U.S. dollars) per Year of sale (pro rated accordingly for the period from the Product Launch of the Product in the U.S. to the 31st of December in the Year of the Product Launch in the U.S. and from the 1st of January until the expiry of the Royalty obligations in accordance with Clauses 7.5 in any Year where those obligations expire, if applicable); and
 
7.4.2
[***] of the Net Sales Value of the Products sold during the Term in the ROW up to a maximum annual royalty of GBP£2,000,000 (two million Pounds Sterling) per Year of sale (pro rated accordingly for the period from the Product Launch of the Product in the ROW to the 31st of December in the Year of the Product Launch in any country within the ROW and from the 1st of January until the expiry of the Royalty obligations in accordance with Clause 7.6 in any Year where those obligations expire, if applicable).
 
7.5
The obligations to pay Royalties as set out in Clause 7.4.1 above shall end upon the occurrence of:
 
7.5.1
the expiry of all of the Patents in the U.S. and of all patents which issue in the U.S. in respect of any Improvements relating to the MSX Arising Intellectual Property Rights and/or Existing Intellectual Property Rights, as the case may be; or
 
7.5.2
RB exercising the option under Clause 7.7.1 in respect of the U.S., whichever is the sooner.
 
7.6
The obligations to pay Royalties as set out in Clause 7.4.2 above shall end, on a country by country basis, upon the occurrence of:
 
7.6.1
the expiry of all of the Patents in the ROW and of all patents which issue in any country within the ROW in respect of any Improvements relating to the MSX Arising Intellectual Property Rights and/or Existing Intellectual Property Rights, as the case may be; or
 
7.6.2
RB exercising the option under Clause 7.7.2 in respect of the ROW, whichever is the sooner.
 
7.7
RB shall have the option upon prior written notice to MSX to stop making payments of the Royalties due under Clauses 7.4.1 and/or 7.4.2 (the “Options”) by making payment to MSX of:
 
23

7.7.1
with respect to Royalties due under Clause 7.4.1, USD$[***] U.S. dollars) immediately upon exercising such Option. The Option under this Clause 7.7.1 shall be exercisable at any time commencing after the [***] anniversary of the date of the Product Launch of the Product in the U.S.; and/or
 
7.7.2
with respect to Royalties due under Clause 7.4.2, GBP£[***] Pounds Sterling) immediately upon exercising such Option. The Option under this Clause 7.7.2 shall be exercisable at any time commencing after the [***] anniversary of the date of the Product Launch of the Product in any country of the European Union within the ROW.
 
Upon making payment to MSX of the amounts stated in Clause 7.7.1 the obligations to pay Royalties to MSX in respect of the U.S. will immediately cease and upon making payment to MSX of the amounts stated in Clause 7.7.2 the obligations to pay Royalties to MSX in respect of the ROW will immediately cease. For the avoidance of doubt, the Options granted under Clauses 7.7.1 and 7.7.2 may be exercised independently of each other.
 
7.8
For the avoidance of doubt, no credit will be given in respect of Royalties previously paid and where any of the Options are exercised part way through any Half Year Period, RB shall be responsible for making payments of any Royalties due in respect of sales of Products made before the date such of the Options was exercised and shall make such Royalty payments at the end of the Half Year period in which such of the Options was exercised.
 
24

7.9
Third Party Claims
 
7.9.1
If a third party claims that the manufacture and supply of a Product by MSX under this Agreement (including manufacture in accordance with the MSX’s Existing Intellectual Property Rights or MSX’s Arising Intellectual Property Rights), or the subsequent use and sale of such. Products by RB, infringes any claims of patents of such third party (and such infringement claim is not a claim that (i) the buprenorphine or naloxone component of the Product, and (ii) the manufacture of the buprenorphine or naloxone component of the Product, infringes any claims of patents of such third party) (a “TP Patent Claim”), MSX shall be responsible, at its cost and expense, for either defending or settling such TP Patent Claim and paying any judgment recovered by such third party in a suit for such TP Patent Claim (including any amounts for past infringement of such third party’s patent by the Product), and using commercially reasonable endeavours to obtain an exclusive license in the Field from such third party that would by the terms of such settlement or exclusive license allow RB the right to continue to sell during the Term such Product in the Field in the jurisdiction or country in which such claim is brought, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and without any additional royalty or remuneration therefore by RB. In the event that MSX has not successfully defended or settled such TP Patent Claim or obtained such exclusive license, the obligation for payment of Royalty by RB under Clauses 7.4.1 and 7.4.2 (and, if applicable, Clause 7.7) in connection with continued sales of such Product (if any) shall be adjusted as set out in Clauses 7.9.3.1 and 7.9.3.2, as applicable, and in the event that the TP Patent Claim is brought more than [***] years after the Commencement Date and RB is prohibited from selling Products (i) in any of the U.S. or that portion of the ROW that constitutes all of the European Union, then RB shall have the right upon [***] days prior written notice to MSX to terminate this Agreement, or (ii) in any other jurisdiction in the Territory, then RB shall have the right upon [***] days prior written notice to MSX to terminate this Agreement as to such other jurisdiction. For purposes of this Clause 7.9.1, MSX shall be deemed to have failed to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such a licence as set out above if MSX fails or elects not to use such efforts and resources (including, without limitation, the promptness in which such efforts and resources would be applied) consistent with its expression on and before the Commencement Date of MSX’s commitment to obtaining such a licence should it be required in order to alleviate as a priority concern of MSX, including expending such additional funds and devoting such additional manpower and other resources as is necessary and appropriate to reasonably assure the grant of such a licence to allow RB to continue to sell during the Term the Products in the Field in the relevant jurisdiction or country and, in any circumstances, which are consistent with the general level of effort and resources that would be used in the pharmaceutical industry for a company with the intention to commercialize and exploit a product critical to the continued success of the company. In the event that despite the use of such endeavours as described above, MSX is unable to obtain the licence described above it shall inform RB of this fact and discuss with RB any further possibilities for the joint resolution of this issue including, without limitation, RB assisting MSX to obtain such a licence (which RB shall be entitled to consider in its absolute discretion) on the assumption that any sums paid by RB (if any) towards obtaining such a licence will be offset against any Royalties to be paid by RB to MSX pursuant to Clause 7.4.
 
7.9.2
If a third party brings a claim of invalidity of the Patents in any part of the Territory, then, subject to Clause 7.9.4, MSX shall be responsible for defending such claim, at its cost and expense, and seeking to maintain validity of the Patents and all obligations for payment of a Royalty under Clauses 7.4.1 and 7.4.2 (and if applicable Clause 7.7) in connection with sales of Products following such claim shall be adjusted according to Clause 7.9.3.1 and 7.9.3.2 below, as applicable, and RB shall have the other rights set forth in Clause 7.9.3.3.
 
7.9.3
For any claim brought by a third party which is successful or not yet finally adjudicated under Clauses 7.9.1 or 7.9.2
 
  7.9.3.1
and such third party introduces a product in the Field which gains a market share in the Field of at least a [***] percent ([***]%) but not more than [***] percent ([***]%) in any of (i) the U.S., (ii) that portion of the ROW that constitutes the European Union, or (iii) any other country in the Territory within [***] months after such product introduction (the “Market Review Period”), RB’s obligation to make such Royalty payments after the expiration of the Market Review Period with respect to sales of such Product in such jurisdiction or country shall be reduced by [***]; or
 
25

7.9.3.2
and such party introduces a product in the Field which gains a market share in the Field of [***] percent ([***]%) or more in any of (i) the U.S., (ii) that portion of the ROW that constitutes the European Union, or (iii) any other country in the Territory during the Market Review Period, RB’s obligation to make such Royalty payments after the expiration of the Market Review Period and thereafter with respect to sales of such Product in such jurisdiction or country shall be terminated; or
 
7.9.3.3
if such third party claim is brought within [***] years after the Commencement Date and (i) RB is prohibited from achieving Product Launch in any of the U.S. or that portion of the ROW that constitutes all of the European Union, then RB shall have the right upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to MSX to terminate this Agreement, or (ii) RB is prohibited from selling all Products in any other jurisdiction in the Territory, then RB shall have the right upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to MSX to terminate this Agreement as to such other jurisdiction. Upon termination of this Agreement under this Clause 7.9.3.3, RB shall satisfy its obligations under Clause 18.1.2 and MSX shall indemnify RB for the Losses incurred by RB as a result of such termination up to an amount equal to [***] of the payments made by RB (and its Affiliated Companies) to MSX and its Affiliated Companies in developing the Products (which for the avoidance of doubt shall be all sums paid by RB (and its Affiliated Companies) to MSX excluding sums paid by RB (and its Affiliated Companies) in respect of the purchase of the Products and Royalties under this Agreement including, payments by RB under Clause 7.7, if any) prior to such termination. Payment of such amount to RB under this Clause 7.9.3.3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of RB for any termination of this Agreement under this Clause 7.9.3.3 and, upon payment thereof to RB, MSX shall have no further obligation or liability to RB under this Agreement or otherwise for such third party claim, except for MSX’s obligations to pay the costs and expense of defending and settling such third party claim under Clause 7.9.1. This Clause 7.9.3.3 shall not apply to any claim brought by [***] within [***] after the Commencement Date, which claim (and the rights and obligations of MSX and RB relating thereto) shall be solely covered under Clause 7.10.
 
7.9.4
For any such third party claim brought under Clauses 7.9.1 or 7.9.2 in which such third party is unsuccessful (including a claim brought by [***] as described in Clause 7.10), then RB’s obligations to make payment of the Royalties shall remain unchanged and shall be in effect in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, subject to the following. If such third party introduces a product in the Field while such claim is being adjudicated and which is thereafter withdrawn from the Field after such adjudication, RB shall make payment of the Royalties (together will all future Royalties due under this Agreement) which would have been paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to such adjudication, subject to RB’s rights in accordance with Clauses 7.9.3.1 and 7.9.3.2 to reduce or terminate such Royalty payments, as the case may be, for the period prior to such withdrawal and subject to the last sentence of Clause 7.9.1 in which RB may offset royalties paid by RB to such third party for a license under Clause 7.9.1, if any, against Royalties to be paid by RB to MSX pursuant to Clause 7.4.
 
26

7.9.5
For any such third party claim that is brought alleging the invalidity of the Patents and MSX believes that defending such claim is unnecessary and uneconomical, then save in respect of the US and that portion of the ROW that constitutes all of the Europe Union (in which areas MSX shall be obliged to defend any claims for invalidity), MSX shall seek RB’s consent not to defend such actions and RB agrees that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
 
7.10
In the event that [***] brings a claim that the manufacture and supply of a Product by MSX under this Agreement (including manufacture in accordance with MSX’s Existing Intellectual Property Rights or MSX’s Arising Intellectual Property Rights) or the subsequent use and sale of such Products by RB, infringes a claim of one of its patents described in Schedule 10 attached hereto (and such infringement claim is not a claim that (i) the buprenorphine or naloxone component of the Product, or (ii) the manufacture of the buprenorphine or naloxone component of the Product, infringes any claims of such patents), MSX shall have all of the obligations to defend, settle and obtain an exclusive license with respect thereto in accordance with the terms of Clause 7.9.1. If the claim is brought within one year after the Commencement Date and [***] is successful in its claim, or such claim has not yet been finally adjudicated, and, as a result thereof, RB is prohibited from achieving Product Launch in the US or that portion of the ROW that constitutes all of the European Union, RB shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and, upon such termination, RB shall satisfy its obligations under Clause 18.1.2 and MSX shall pay to RB as liquidated damages a lump sum amount equal to [***] for all Losses incurred or to be suffered by RB (the “[***] Settlement”) as a result thereof or in connection therewith. Payment of the [***] Settlement to RB shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of RB for any termination of this Agreement with respect to a claim by [***] under this Clause 7.10 and, upon payment of the [***] Settlement to RB, MSX shall have no further obligation or liability to RB under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to such [***] claim, except for MSX’s obligation to pay for the defense and settlement of such [***] claim, including the payment of any judgement (including for past infringement of [***] patents by the Product, if any) recovered by [***] in a suit for such [***] claim in accordance with Clause 7.9.1.
 
7.11
In addition to the Price, RB shall make a payment to MSX of USD$[***] U.S. dollars) (the “Milestone Payments”) on each of the following dates:
 
7.11.1
the Product Launch of the Product in the U.S.; and
 
7.11.2
the first Product Launch of a Product within any country within the ROW.
 
27

For the avoidance of doubt, this shall amount to a maximum total payment of USD$[***] for Milestone Payments.
 
7.12
For the duration of this Agreement, MSX shall use commercially reasonable efforts to be technically and commercially competitive, taking into account the market for the supply and the cost from other suppliers of product(s) similar to the Products, and shall effect cost reductions and engage in all such technical innovations in respect of the Products which are commercially reasonably possible, taking into account MSX’s manufacturing obligations to other parties, capital investment and any other relevant factor as determined by MSX.
 
7.13
Promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, MSX shall deliver to RB information regarding the Costs of Raw Materials. At least sixty (60) days prior to the beginning of each subsequent Year, the parties shall confer (each, an “Annual Review”) regarding all costs of manufacturing the Products, including without limitation, Raw Materials, other components, energy, transportation, legal, regulatory and all other hard and soft costs of manufacture, but not labour, in order to determine if cost reductions are appropriate.
 
7.14
The cost of goods price for the period from the Commencement Date and expiring on the 31St of December in the Year of the Commencement Date shall be the price as set out in Schedule One and, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing pursuant to this Clause 7.14, the cost of goods price for each subsequent Year, shall be increased or decreased in accordance with the Price Change (the “Cost of Goods Price”). In the event that the Price Change for a Year exceeds the change in the Pharma Price Index for the same period, RB may, at its option, obtain pricing for one or more of the Major Raw Materials from , third parties who are, to the reasonable satisfaction of MSX, qualified suppliers (as can be demonstrated through written documentation). If the pricing obtained by RB is at least [***] more favourable for a given Year than the costs provided by MSX during such Year, MSX shall engage in a good faith review of the obtained pricing. If MSX, acting with commercial reasonableness (including, without limitation, giving consideration to quality control, shipping fees, import duties, warehousing fees, time of transit, and the cost of certifying, qualifying and testing the Major Raw Materials of such proposed supplier), determines that the pricing obtained by RB is at least [***] more favourable for a given Year, MSX shall, at its sole option, either (i) engage the supplier offering the pricing obtained by RB for such period as the supplier pricing remains at least [***] more favourable, and adjust the Cost of Raw Materials for the given period, or (ii) obtain a price reduction from its then-current supplier to pricing similar (even if less favourable) to the reduced pricing obtained by RB. The parties agree that during the course of such discussions the Price chargeable for the Products shall be the Price for the previous Year as varied according to the Pharma Price Index and that following the determination of the Price in accordance with the above procedure RB shall be responsible to MSX for the payment of any excess sums due to MSX applying such determined price retrospectively against all Orders for the Products during such period. RB shall make such payment within [***] days after determining the Price in accordance with the above procedures. For the avoidance of doubt, MSX acknowledges that in dealing with any third party suppliers of Raw Materials it will not disproportionately allocate any discounts in determining costs charged by the third party supplier for the Raw Materials, when such Raw Materials are purchased from a third party supplier supplying to MSX raw materials to be used by MSX in relation to products other than the Products. MSX hereby agrees that upon reasonable advance written notice to MSX, RB shall have a right to an audit of such records of MSX as is reasonable to ensure that the cost of such rat materials are in compliance with this Clause 7.14; provided, that, such access shall be limited to the period ending not more than [***] years prior to the date of such audit and RB shall be responsible for the costs of such audit and MSX shall not charge RB for any of MSX’s costs of such audit. For the avoidance of doubt, RB agrees that all information disclosed by MSX under this Clause 7.14 shall be Confidential Information for the purpose of this Agreement and RB shall ensure that any nominee of RB participating in such audit shall enter into a confidentiality agreement with MSX obligating such nominee to maintain the confidentiality of any information disclosed by MSX pursuant to this Clause 7.14.

7.17
If RB is required to withhold any tax, including, but not limited to, the value-added tax (VAT) and any similar taxes that can replace or append the existing ones, then RB shall make payment of the relevant fee after such withholding in accordance with the applicable law. The parties agree to co-operate in all commercially reasonable respects necessary to determine, prior to any such withholding, whether either party is responsible for any taxes in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and during the Term to take advantage of such double taxation agreement as may be available and the party responsible for securing any certificates or approvals that are necessary for the payment without any withholding of taxes at source is MSX, and all the expenses related to obtaining such certificates or approvals are for the remit of MSX.
 
7.18
RB shall pay the Royalty for Products (if any) within [***] days of the expiry of the Half Year period in which the relevant Royalties are chargeable. Each Royalty payment shall be accompanied by a statement detailing the calculation of Royalties due to MSX, including, without limitation, the amount of Products sold and the corresponding Royalty amount.
 
7.19
MSX shall be expressly permitted to assign any sums payable under this Clause 7.

Following such review, MSX’s accountants shall disclose to RB and MSX whether the Royalties paid to MSX hereunder are correct and accurate, and give details of any discrepancies between the Royalties due under the Records and Royalties paid. MSX shall be responsible for the costs of the MSX Accountants unless the MSX Accountants certify that RB has underpaid Royalties properly due to MSX by [***] or more in the period being audited, in which instance RB shall reimburse MSX for all costs of the MSX Accountants within [***] of receipt of notice of such underpayment. In no event shall the MSX Accountants disclose to MSX information other than whether the Royalties payable by RB were accurate of inaccurate and the amount of any discrepancies due. For the avoidance of doubt, MSX agrees that all information disclosed by RB under this Clause 7.20 shall be Confidential Information for the purpose of this Agreement and MSX shall ensure that the MSX Accountants shall enter into a confidentiality agreement with RB obligating the MSX Accountants to maintain the confidentiality of any information disclosed by RB pursuant to this Clause 7.20.
 
29

7.21
In the event that the review conducted under Clause 7.20 concludes that RB owes to MSX further Royalty payments, RB shall make such additional payments within [***] days of a copy of the MSX Accountants’ review being delivered to both parties. In the event that the review conducted under Clause 7.20 concludes that RB has made Royalty payments to MSX in excess of those required, such excess payments shall be credited against future payments owed by RB to MSX under this Agreement (or, if no such payments are owed, shall be promptly refunded by MSX to RB within [***] days of a copy of the MSX Accountants’ review being delivered to MSX).

7.22.2
In the event that RB purchases in any Year in the aggregate [***] units of Products or more, in any combination of one or more Products set forth on Schedule 3, then in addition to the rebate payable under Clause 7.22.1 above, RB shall be entitled to receive a Rebate of [***] U.S. dollars (USD$[***]) for each unit of Product at and in excess of [***] purchased by RB during such Year; and

15.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND LABELLING
 
15.1
Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the ownership of any Existing Intellectual Property Rights which one party agrees to make available to the other during the Term and, save as otherwise set out in this Agreement, neither party shall have the right to use or exploit the Existing Intellectual Property Rights of the other party.
 
15.2
MSX hereby grants RB and its Affiliates during the Term the exclusive (including to the exclusion of MSX) and only right and license (with the right to grant sub-licenses thereunder) under MSX’s Existing Intellectual Property Rights to use and sell any product, including the Products, in the Field throughout the Territory. During the remainder of the Term after payment of Royalties stops under Clause 7 (or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) in the Territory or any portion thereof, as applicable, this license shall thereafter become royalty-free in the Field in that portion of the Territory, as applicable.
 
15.3
During the Term, MSX shall not assign or license any of MSX Existing Intellectual Property Rights to other parties for the use or sale of products within the Field.
 
15.4
If, during the Term, either party (or any agent or authorised Sub-Contractor of it) develops or creates (whether with or without others and whether jointly with the other party or not) any Arising Intellectual Property Rights, it will forthwith disclose any such Arising Intellectual Property Rights to the other party. To this extent, MSX warrants to RB that in the event of MSX using any agent (including without limitation and authorised Sub-Contractor) for the performance of any tasks under this Agreement it has in place, or will put in place, agreements with such agents which provide that any Arising Intellectual Property Rights within the Field created in the performance of such tasks shall belong to RB.
 
44

15.5
Any Arising Intellectual Property Rights (including without limitation any Arising Intellectual Property Rights created by MSX acting alone or in combination with RB) in the Field will belong to RB. To the extent that MSX would otherwise be the owner in whole or in part of any such rights, MSX shall promptly, upon request by RB, assign the entire right, title and interest to any and all such Arising Intellectual Property Rights to RB for a consideration of one Pound Sterling. In cases where MSX owns Arising Intellectual Property Rights within the Field which cannot be assigned, MSX will grant RB an irrevocable, perpetual, exclusive (including to the exclusion of MSX) royalty-free license (with the right to grant sub-licenses thereunder) under such Arising Intellectual Property Rights solely within the Field throughout the Territory. Other than as set forth in the first three sentences of this Clause 15.5, MSX shall own and, unless otherwise agreed in writing by MSX, RB shall not have or be granted under this Agreement any right, title or interest to, in or under, any Arising Intellectual Property Rights.
 
15.6
Claims of patent applications filed by RB shall be limited to the Field. To the extent that registered patent protection is obtained which is broader than the Field, RB grants MSX a royalty-free worldwide exclusive (including to the exclusion of RB) license, with rights to sublicense, outside the Field under the registered protection or applications therefor, which shall last for the duration of the registered protection or application therefor, to carry out all acts which would otherwise be prohibited due to RB’s patent protection outside the Field.
 
15.7
Any Arising Intellectual Property Rights (including without limitation any Arising Intellectual Property Rights created by RB acting alone or in combination with MSX) other than those covered by Clause 15.5 above will belong to MSX. To the effect that RB would otherwise be the owner in whole or in part of any such rights, RB shall promptly upon request by MSX assign with full title guarantee the entire right, title and interest to any and all such Arising Intellectual Property Rights to MSX for a consideration of one Pound Sterling. In cases where RB owns Arising Intellectual Property Rights which cannot be assigned, such as a claim which falls outside the Field, RB will grant MSX a royalty-free, worldwide exclusive (including to the exclusion of RB) license, with rights to sublicense, outside the Field.
 
15.8
Claims of patent applications filed by MSX shall be limited to being outside the Field. To the extent that registered patent protection is obtained which is within the Field, MSX grants RB a royalty-free worldwide exclusive (including to the exclusion of MSX) license, with rights to sublicense, within the Field under the registered protection or applications therefor, which shall last for the duration of the registered protection or application therefor, to ‘carry out all acts which would otherwise be prohibited due to MSX’s patent protection within the Field.
 
15.9
By way of illustration of Clauses 15.5 through and including Clause 15.8 and Clause 15.10, if the parties were to create an improved formulation for certain types of common compounds which would speed the production time for the product, RB would have all Arising Intellectual Property Rights (including the exclusive right to use or to license) within the Field and MSX would have all Arising Intellectual Property Rights (including the exclusive right to use or to license) outside of the Field. For the avoidance of doubt, following termination of this Agreement then, subject to any future written agreement of the parties expressly to the contrary, RB would have rights to the Arising Intellectual Property Rights within the Field but no rights to any Arising Intellectual Property Rights outside the Field or MSX’s Existing Intellectual Property Rights, and MSX would have rights to Arising Intellectual Property Rights outside the Field but no rights to the Arising Intellectual Property Rights within the Field or any of RB’s Existing Intellectual Property Rights.
 
45

15.10
The parties agree that, in order (i) to allow RB to apply for, prosecute or maintain any registered protection for RB’s rights in the Arising Intellectual Property as identified in Clause 15.5 and (ii) to allow MSX to apply for, prosecute or maintain any registered protection for MSX’s rights in the Arising Intellectual Property as identified in Clause 15.7, each in a manner which does not prejudice the prospects for registered protection of the other party. Each party shall work with and cooperate with the other prior to any disclosure of, or patent application filing for, any Arising Intellectual Property Right and shall act in accordance with Schedule Nine.
 
15.11
During the Term, MSX will not assign or license any of MSX’s Existing Intellectual Property Rights to other parties for use in the Field.
 
15.12
During the Term, except during the last twelve (12) month period thereof if the parties have elected not to extend the Term of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Clause 3.9, and whether in isolation or for or with others, MSX shall not carry out research or research work related to the Field, other than pursuant to this Agreement.
 
15.13
During the Term, in the event that MSX shall decide that it no longer wishes to apply for, prosecute or maintain any registered protection for any of MSX Existing Intellectual Property Rights for any country, it shall forthwith notify RB. If RB indicates to MSX that it wishes to take an assignment of such Existing Intellectual Property Rights within the Field, it shall so notify MSX who agrees to conduct good faith negotiations in attempting to reach a resolution to assign such Existing Intellectual Property Rights within the Field to RB. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes any registered protection which MSX is entitled to claim priority from an earlier application at the end of the Paris Convention priority period. If such Existing Intellectual Property Rights are assigned to RB, and to the extent that registered patent protection is obtained which is broader than the Field, RB will grant MSX an irrevocable, perpetual, exclusive (including to the exclusion of RB), royalty-free license (with the right to grant sub-licenses thereunder) under such registered protection or applications therefor outside the Field and throughout the Territory. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, MSX is under no obligation to assign such Existing Intellectual Property Rights to RB.
 
15.14
During the Term and upon its knowledge of the occurrence of any infringement or suspected or threatened infringement of any of the Patents, the Arising Intellectual Property rights or the Existing Intellectual Property Rights in the Product or in the Field, or of any proceedings or suspected or threatened proceedings for the revocation or involving the validity of any of the Intellectual Property Rights, the party with this knowledge shall notify the other and provide all details within its knowledge with respect to the same and thereafter upon receipt of a written request the parties will assist each other in taking such steps as either party may reasonably consider to be appropriate at the expense of the party that considers such steps to be appropriate.
 
46

15.15
For the purpose of protecting the Intellectual Property Rights, each party shall also procure that its Affiliates shall comply with Clause 3 and this Clause 15.
 
15.16
Each party undertakes that it shall not at any time during the Term or after the termination or expiration of this Agreement knowingly do or suffer to be done any act or thing which may impair the rights of the other party in its Intellectual Property Rights and further undertakes that it shall not represent that it has any title to or right of ownership in the Intellectual Property Rights of the other party.
 
15.17
MSX shall manufacture the Products incorporating such layout, content, design, trade marks and artwork as may be reasonably directed by RB in writing. RB shall bear the cost of designing the layout, content and appearance of the labelling, inserts and packaging, including costs of Tooling, used solely in connection with the Products.
 
15.18
Except as may be required by any Regulatory Authority, MSX shall not make any change or modification to the Products’ packaging or labelling, including the layout, content, design, trade marks or artwork used in connection with such packaging or labelling without the prior written consent of RB.
 
15.19
RB may, on reasonable prior written notice, change any part of the packaging or labelling of the Products. In the event that such change results in any write-off of the cost of Raw Materials, RB shall bear the cost of such write-off to the extent that such Raw Materials were reasonably required to meet RB’s Forecasts.
 
15.20
In the event of any packaging or labelling changes, MSX shall, if requested in writing by RB, either destroy (in accordance with all applicable laws) or deliver to RB any Products which are to be written off. RB is to bear the cost of such write off for such Products at: (1) the Cost of Goods Price for such Products if the packaging or labelling change was at RB’s choice; or (2) the manufacturing costs for such Products if the packaging or labelling change was done to meet a change in legal requirements. In addition to the foregoing, in either case, RB shall reimburse MSX for the acquisition costs of any unused packaging materials which can no longer be used for the Products to the extent that such Raw Materials were reasonably required to meet RB’s Forecasts.
 
15.21
For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any packaging or labelling changes pursuant to Clause 15.18 or Clause 15.19, upon receipt of written notice of such changes, MSX shall inform and keep RB informed of the stock levels of the Products and relevant Raw Materials and packaging components in order that RB may decide how it wishes to proceed under Clauses 15.18 and 15.19.

All copyright and other Intellectual Property Rights in any artwork and origination work supplied by RB or its nominee for the labelling, packaging and, where applicable, package inserts for the Products is and shall remain the property of RB or its nominee absolutely. MSX shall not supply or manufacture any such packaging or other components or finished Products or confusingly similar packaging or products other than to RB or as it may direct. Subject to RB being able to incorporate the trademark of MSX as set out in Schedule Eleven (or such variation thereto as is reasonably suggested by MSX and approved by RB, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) on the back of secondary packaging (being packaging containing one or more of the Products and of an appropriate size for such requirements) without impeding the artwork and information required by Regulatory Authorities to be placed on such secondary packaging, RB shall include the MSX trademark on the reverse of such secondary packaging with the size and location approved by RB (such approval not to be unreasonable withheld, conditioned or delayed but shall remain subject to RB’s obligations to place information required by Regulatory Authorities on such secondary packaging).

17.2
This Agreement may be terminated by either party, immediately on written notice to the other, if;
 
48

17.2.1
the other party shall go into liquidation whether voluntary or compulsory or is dissolved or becomes insolvent or if a petition shall be presented or an order made for the appointment of an administrator or if a receiver, administrative receiver or manager shall be appointed over any part of its assets or undertaking which appointment is not dismissed within thirty (30) days of having been made; or
 
17.2.2
any distress, execution, sequestration or other process is levied or enforced upon or sued out against the property of the other party which is not discharged within thirty (30) days.
 
17.3
This Agreement may be terminated by RB, forthwith upon written notice to MSX, in the event that:
 
17.3.1
any applicable Regulatory Authority, state or local regulatory approvals, laws, ordinances or regulations, present or future, state that the Manufacturing Site is not suitable, or ceases to be suitable, for the manufacture of the Products; or
 
17.3.2
the Product is not suitable for Manufacture by MSX due to environmental, health or safety reasons; or
 
17.3.3
any of RB’s Health Registrations for the Products is suspended or withdrawn; or
 
17.3.4
it is determined that the formulation, use or sale of the Products infringes any third party Intellectual Property Rights; or

17.5
This Agreement may be terminated by MSX, forthwith upon written notice to RB:

For purposes of this Clause 17.5.1, RB shall be deemed to have failed to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all approvals from the FDA as required by this Agreement if RB fails or elects not to use such efforts and resources (including, without limitation, the promptness in which such efforts and resources would be applied) consistent with its expression of commitment and intent regarding its regulatory strategy for the commercialization exploitation of the Products, on and before the Commencement Date, as a priority of its and its Affiliates product development program, including expending such additional funds and devoting such additional manpower and other resources as is necessary and appropriate to reasonably assure the timely grant of such approvals to effect the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and, in any circumstances, which are consistent with the general level of effort and resources that would be used in the pharmaceutical industry for a company similar in size and scope and with the intention to commercialize and exploit a product critical to the continued success of the company.

17.7
This Agreement may be terminated by RB if a majority percentage of the issued share capital, or control of the management or voting rights, of MSX is taken over or acquired (collectively, a “Change in Control”) by any third party or parties operating within the Field or expropriated or nationalised.
 
18.

·
4 mg Buprenorphrine + 1 mg Naloxone
 
C.            The Cost of Goods Price for the 2012 and 2013 Years of manufacture per pouched single dose of Product for the following dosage strengths will be as follows:

·
4 mg Buprenorphine + 1 mg Naloxone (US)
$[***]
     
·
4 mg Buprenorphine + 1 mg Naloxone (ROW)
$[***]
     
·
12 mg Buprenorphine + 3 mg Naloxone (US)
$[***]
     
·
12 mg Buprenorphine + 3 mg Naloxone (ROW)
$[***]
 

D.            The Cost of Goods Price per pouched single dose of Product for the 2013 Year of manufacture for the following dosage strengths will be as follows:

·
2 mg Buprenorphine + 0.5 mg Naloxone (US)
$[***]
     
·
2 mg Buprenorphine + 0.5 mg Naloxone (ROW)
$[***]
     
·
8 mg Buprenorphine + 2 mg Naloxone (US)
$[***]
     
·
8 mg Buprenorphine + 2 mg Naloxone (ROW)
$[***]

E.             As of the Amendment Effective Date, MSX will conduct a representative batch sampling of no less than [***] doses per batch and no more than [***] doses per batch of 8 mg Buprenorphine + 2 mg Naloxone and 12 mg Buprenorphine + 3 mg Naloxone for each such batch commenced on or after the Amendment Effective Date. The batch sampling quantities may be adjusted by written agreement from both parties. [***].

F.             For the 12 mg Buprenorphine + 3 mg Naloxone Product, MSX will warehouse Product until RB has provided MSX written instructions either to ship the Product or have the Product destroyed (“Disposition Instructions”). RB shall provide the Disposition Instructions to MSX within ten (10) business days after receipt by RB of the Summary Findings from the Visual Sampling unless RB has commercially reasonable questions on a given batch or seeks further clarification on existing data from a particular batch in order to aid RB in making a decision in which case MSX will make available an appropriate level of management to respond to RB. If RB does not provide the required Disposition Instructions within ten (10) business days of MSX having provided responses to commercially reasonable inquiries made by RB, then RB will have the subject batch shipped to a third party of RB’s choosing for further warehousing (such Product, “12 mg Warehoused Product”). The Order for a batch will be fulfilled per Section 5.1 of the Agreement and legal title shall pass to RB per Section 5.7 of the Agreement upon MSX providing a Certificate of Analysis to RB. MSX will invoice RB upon providing a Certificate of Analysis to RB and RB shall pay the full batch Price plus associated Sampling Charges for all 12 mg Buprenorphine + 3 mg Naloxone Product with a Certificate of Analysis in accordance with the terms of the Agreement regardless of the associated Disposition Instructions. In the event that RB subsequently elects to have the 12 mg Warehoused Product destroyed, RB shall cause the Product to be shipped (at RB’s cost) to MSX along with instructions to destroy the Product and MSX shall destroy the Product (at MSX’s cost). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each shipment of Product (including 12 mg Warehoused Product) delivered by MSX shall comply with Clause 5.3 of the Agreement.

G.            For the 8 mg Buprenorphine + 2 mg Naloxone Product, MSX will warehouse Product until the summary findings from the Visual Sampling have been provided to RB. For batches with a Visual Sampling Level [***] of [***]% or less, MSX will ship Product per Clause 5.1 of the Agreement and RB shall pay for all Product with a Certificate of Analysis. MSX will warehouse 8 mg Buprenorphine + 2 mg Naloxone Product for an additional ten (10) business days where the Visual Sampling Level for a batch exceeds [***]%. RB shall provide MSX with Disposition Instructions within said ten (10) business day period unless RB submits to MSX commercially reasonable questions on a given batch or seeks further clarification on existing data from a particular batch in order to aid RB in making a decision, in which case MSX will make available an appropriate level of management to answer commercially reasonable questions on a given batch or provide further clarification on existing data from a particular batch in order to aid RB in making a decision. RB shall provide the required Disposition Instructions to MSX within five (5) business days of MSX having provided responses to commercially reasonable inquiries made by RB during the ten (10) business day period referenced in the immediately preceding sentence. If the Disposition Instructions provided to MSX require destruction of the Product, then MSX shall dispose of the subject batch and the parties respective liability for costs associated with the destroyed batch shall be as set forth below:

[***]
[***]
[***]
[***]
[***]
[***]
[***]
[***]

Responsibility for costs associated with destroyed batches with Visual Sampling Level above [***]% which are in process as of the Amendment Effective Date shall be as follows: (i) for batch [***] (produced in July) MSX shall be responsible for all MSX costs and all API costs shall be the responsibility of RB; (ii) for batch [***] (presently warehoused at Sharp) RB shall accept the batch; (iii) for batch [***] MSX shall be responsible for all MSX costs and all API costs shall he split equally by MSX and RB; and (iv) all other remaining in process batches will be subject to this Amendment.

If the Disposition Instructions provided to MSX require shipment of the Product, then MSX will ship Product per Clause 5.1 of the Agreement and RB shall pay for all Product with a Certificate of Analysis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each shipment of Product (including 8 mg Warehoused Product) delivered by MSX shall comply with Clause 5.3 of the Agreement.

H.            Both parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Amendment relieves either party of its responsibilities to undertake commercially reasonable efforts to continuously improve the Products. Accordingly, the parties agree to establish and convene a joint technical team (the “JTT”) consisting of members from each party who have the requisite expertise to analyze manufacturing and Product data, customer complaints on an ongoing basis, and utilize the Annual Product Review Process to continuously improve the Products. The parties hereby further agree that the JTT will meet on a quarterly basis and the first meeting of the JTT shall be convened within thirty (30) days of the Amendment Effective Date. MSX agrees to work diligently and in good faith, through the JTT, to improve the manufacturing process and quality of the Product output on [***] of the production line. The JTT shall also work in good faith to evaluate the merits and feasibility of a robust Product reformulation and shall work in good faith to agree upon a commercially viable plan for such Product reformulation. The JTT may also, from time-to-time, with both parties written approval, develop other specific and limited projects to improve the overall quality of the existing Product or manufacturing process.
 
3

I.             The parties hereby agree that Clause 3.4.3 set forth in the MANUFACTURE AND SUPPLY section of the Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

monitor, account for and keep RB regularly informed of the usage and waste of API. MSX will act reasonably to ensure maintenance of an overall yield percentage (the “Yield Target”), defined as the actual strips produced before samples divided by the theoretical strips available based on the amount of defect free API used in manufacturing. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes any API dispensed and/or used for commercial production regardless of whether film strips were yielded from said use but excluding API associated with batches destroyed based on Visual Sampling data. The parties will work in good faith to identify commercially reasonable Yield Targets for dosage strengths, batch sizes, and SKU configurations within ninety (90) days of the Amendment Effective Date. On an annual basis, MSX and RB will review and reconcile results against the Yield Target and MSX will, within thirty (30) days, remunerate RB for RB’s documented API costs on an annual basis to the extent MSX falls below the Yield Target. For the sake of clarity, the formula for calculating API costs owed will be Yield Target minus the actual yield times the API costs. The parties hereby agree that Clause 3.4.3 of the Agreement represents the sole mechanism for MSX reimbursement of API to RB associated with manufacturing usage and waste.

J.             The parties hereby agree that Clause 4.6 set forth in the FORECASTS, ORDERS AND SUPPLY OF THE API section of the Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Notwithstanding the terms of any DDP delivery (or any other delivery) of the API by RB to MSX, legal title to the API shall remain with RB after delivery to MSX. MSX shall use reasonable efforts to ensure proper storage and handling of the API once delivered to MSX and prior to manufacturing. Risk of damage to, or loss of, the API shall pass from RB to MSX upon delivery as set out in Clause 4.3. MSX shall retain casualty insurance coverage for the expected inventory of the API (amounts expected to be supplied to MSX by RB for manufacture of the Product in the amounts set forth in the Forecasts) to cover damage to or loss of the API during storage for so long as the API remains at MSX’s risk. For the sake of clarity, the responsibilities of the parties with respect to usage and waste of API during manufacturing is covered under Clause 3.4.3 and this Clause 4.6 is in no way intended to address API usage and waste during manufacturing.

K.            The parties hereby agree that Clause 4.7 set forth in the FORECASTS, ORDERS AND SUPPLY OF THE API section of the Agreement shall be amended to include the following sentence at the end of the paragraph:

For the sake of clarity, MSX’s obligation to remunerate RB under this Clause 4.7 is limited to the amount paid to MSX by RB and shall not include remuneration for RB’s API cost.

L.            RB agrees to waive any API loss claims to MSX for batches made prior to the Amendment Effective Date.

M.           This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, save as to conflict of law provisions, and the parties hereby agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the federal courts located in the State of Delaware.

N.            Except as expressly set forth herein, all other terms and provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without modification or change.

THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN REDACTED AND IS THE SUBJECT OF A CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST.  REDACTED MATERIAL IS MARKED WITH [***] AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

ADDENDUM A TO COMMERCIAL EXPLOITATION AGREEMENT:
SUBOXONE STRIP DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

This Addendum A to Commercial Exploitation Agreement: Suboxone Strip Development Agreement (the “Addendum”) is entered into as of this 14th day of October, 2013 the (“Addendum Effective Date”), by and between Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals Inc., with offices at 10710 Midlothian Turnpike, Suite 430, Richmond, VA 23235 (“RB”) and MonoSol Rx, LLC, with offices at 30 Technology Drive, Warren, NJ 07059 (“MSX”).

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF PROJECT

A.           The parties entered into a Commercial Exploitation Agreement dated August 15, 2008, as amended (the “Agreement”).

B.            Pursuant and subject to the Agreement, the parties now wish to enter into an addendum to the Agreement relating to the development and potential commercialization of improved formulations of the Products;

C.            This Addendum relates to a research and development project to develop and potentially commercialize improved formulations of the Products having a higher degree of product stability which MSX would manufacture and supply to RB pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. The parties intend that the Price for these improved formulations be the same as the Price which RB is currently paying for existing Products with the same API and dosage strengths, (subject only to variations in costs with respect to Raw Materials, Direct Labor, Release Testing, or use of manufacturing line time; provided however, that MSX shall validate with competent evidence any increase in costs with respect to Raw Materials, Direct Labor, Release Testing, or use of manufacturing line time).

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.
Capitalized Terms

Capitalized terms used in this Addendum without definition shall have the same meanings ascribed to those terms in the Agreement.

2.
Addendum is Part of Agreement

This Addendum is hereby incorporated into and made a part of the Agreement as if fully set forth therein, and is subject to the terms of the Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, rights to and ownership of any inventions and other intellectual property developed or created as a result of the work performed hereunder shall be governed by the Intellectual Property Rights provisions of the Agreement.
 

3.
Services and Payment

MSX shall perform the services set forth in the attached Appendix A (the “Services”), which is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Addendum as if fully set forth herein.

MSX represents and warrants that it will perform the Services in accordance with prevailing industry standards. MSX further represents and warrants that all personnel who perform the Services shall have appropriate training, experience and qualifications.

In consideration for performing the Services, MSX shall receive payments as set forth herein and in Appendix A and Appendix B. Appendix B is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Addendum as if fully set forth herein.

The initial payment will be invoiced by MSX upon Signing (as defined below) and will be due upon receipt of said invoice by RB.

Subsequent payments will be invoiced by MSX upon completion of all applicable criteria and will be due [***] after receipt of said invoice by RB. In the event of any good faith disputes with respect to any such invoice, RB shall pay the undisputed portion of any such invoice within this time period.

4.
Project Specifics

Project milestones and timelines as well as associated payments are outlined in Appendix A.

4.1.
Payment Triggers

RB’s obligation to make a payment for services rendered pursuant to each milestone phase is triggered by either the commencement or the completion of a milestone activity, as outlined in Appendix A and further described herein.

In order to receive payments for an applicable milestone activity whereby payment is due on “commencement of the activity” MSX shall first provide RB a project plan outlining critical activities and a definitive time period for the commencement of the milestone phase, which plan must be accepted in writing by RB (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

If payment is due upon completion, MSX shall first provide RB with written confirmation of completion, which confirmation shall be deemed accepted by RB unless RB delivers to MSX a written deficiency notice within twenty-one (21) business days of RB’s receipt of written confirmation of completion. Any such deficiency notice delivered by RB hereunder shall contain a level of detail sufficient for MSX to assess the deficiency and propose a plan of corrective action to address the deficiency. In the event a deficiency notice is delivered by RB under this Section 4.1, the parties shall endeavor to agree promptly upon a corrective action plan and payment of the milestone payment in question will not be required and the milestone shall not be deemed completed until such time as the deficiency is remedied in accordance with the corrective action plan; provided that the time periods during which RB is responsible for responding under this Section 4.1 (i.e., the period of up to 21 business days during which RB is reviewing MSX’s proposed completion of a milestone) shall not be counted for purposes of MSX’s eligibility for any Milestone Bonus Payment or the assessment of any Milestone Reduction Penalty set forth in Appendix A.
 
2

As used in Sections 4.2 and 4.3 below (and elsewhere in this Addendum), the completion of a milestone or a project activity is considered to include both the completion of the specified activities by MSX and their acceptance by RB as set forth above.

4.2.
Bonus Payments

RB will pay milestone bonus payments described in this Section 4.2 (“Milestone Bonus Payments”) to MSX where MSX has completed all project activities as outlined in the project plan pertaining to a particular project milestone a minimum of [***] in advance of the specified target delivery date, with larger bonuses payable if MSX completes all project activities pertaining to a particular milestone a minimum of [***] in advance of the specified target delivery date. The Milestone Bonus Payment column indicates the percentage of the bonus, with the number to the left of the diagonal indicating the percentage bonus (expressed as a percentage of the base milestone payment) if the milestone is completed a minimum of [***] before the target date and the (smaller) percentage to the right of the diagonal line indicating the percentage bonus payment if the milestone is completed a minimum of [***] in advance of target date.

As an example, the Milestone Bonus Payment for the “Analytical Toolkit” phase is written “[***]% / [***]%,” and the target delivery date is described as “[***]” and the Milestone Amount is $[***]. (“Signing” is the date on which the later to be executed of the [***] and the [***] is fully executed by both parties).

If MSX completes all of the activities in the Analytical Toolkit milestone a minimum of [***] prior to the target delivery date, i.e., no more than [***] from Signing, MSX would receive a bonus payment of [***]% of the milestone payment. In such case, its bonus payment would be $[***] ([***]% x $[***] = $[***]) in addition to the base milestone payment of $[***], which means that that total amount payable for this milestone to MSX would be $[***].

If MSX completes all of the activities in the Analytical Toolkit milestone a minimum of [***] prior to the target delivery date, i.e., no more than [***] from Signing, MSX would receive a bonus payment of [***]% of the milestone payment. In such case, its bonus payment would be $[***] ([***]% x $[***] = $[***]) in addition to the base milestone payment of $[***], which means that that total amount payable for this milestone to MSX would be $[***].

For the avoidance of doubt, bonus payments for completion of a particular milestone are not cumulative. MSX might receive either a [***] bonus or a [***] bonus, but it could not receive both bonuses for completing a single milestone (although MSX might receive separate bonuses, or penalties, for completing other milestones specified in Appendix A early or late, as applicable.)
 
3

4.3.
Penalty Payment Reductions

Subject to Section 4.1 of this Addendum, milestone reduction penalties described in this Section 4.3 (“Milestone Reduction Penalties”) will be deducted from the amounts payable to RB if MSX exceeds the applicable target delivery date for successfully completing all project activities pertaining to a particular milestone by more than [***], with larger reduction penalties if MSX exceeds the applicable Target Delivery Date for successfully completing all project activities pertaining to a particular milestone by more than [***]. The Milestone Reduction Penalty column indicates the percentage of the penalty, with the number to the left of the diagonal line indicating the percentage penalty if MSX completes the project activities more than [***] after the target date and the (larger) percentage to the right of the diagonal line indicating the percentage penalty if MSX completes the project activities more than [***] after the target date.

As an example, the Milestone Reduction Penalty for the “Analytical Toolkit” phase is written “[***]% / [***]%,” and the target delivery date is described as “[***] from Signing” and the Milestone Amount is $[***].

If MSX completes all of the project activities in the Analytical Toolkit milestone at least [***] after the target delivery date, i.e., a minimum of [***] from Signing, MSX would receive a reduction penalty of [***]% of the milestone payment. In such case, its reduction penalty would be $[***] ([***]% x $[***] = $[***]) deducted from the base milestone payment of $[***], which means that that total amount payable for this milestone to MSX would be $[***].

If MSX completes all of the project activities in the Analytical Toolkit milestone at least [***] after the target delivery date, i.e., a minimum of [***] from Signing, MSX would receive a reduction penalty of [***]% of the milestone payment. In such case, its reduction penalty would be $[***] ([***]% x $[***] = $[***]) deducted from the base milestone payment of $[***], which means that that total amount payable for this milestone to MSX would be $[***].

4.4.
Termination and Termination Fee

MSX may terminate this Addendum at any time with or without cause during the “Pre-Signing” and “Analytical Toolkit” phases of the project only by giving written notice of termination to RB.

4.4.1        RB may terminate this Addendum or any individual milestone phase at any time with or without cause by giving written notice of termination to MSX. Each individual milestone phase, except the “Pre-Signing” and “Analytical Toolkit” milestones, requires the payment of a termination fee by RB (as specified in Appendix A) in the event that RB terminates the applicable milestone phase of the project, along with the milestone payment associated with any active and ongoing work. Any termination notice by RB shall specify the particular milestone phase or phases being terminated. In the event that RB terminates the entire project or multiple milestone phases at substantially the same time, RB shall pay only a single termination fee, which shall be equal to the largest individual termination fee applicable to any of the terminated milestone phases in addition to the milestone payments associated with any active and ongoing work (i.e., as an illustrative example, in the event that RB elects to pursue the optional “Delivery of [***]” milestone phase (termination fee = $[***]) and then subsequently terminates that phase, and, at substantially the same time, RB terminates the “[***]” milestone phase (termination fee = $[***]), then, in addition to the milestone payments associated with any active and ongoing work, RB would owe MSX a single termination fee of $[***], which is the largest individual termination fee applicable to any of the terminated milestone phases).
 
4

4.4.2        In addition to the amounts specified in 4.4.1 above, RB will make the following termination payments to MSX if RB without cause terminates either the entire Addendum or the milestone phases specified below prior to making the applicable milestone payments:

Batch Manufacture milestones

[***] Manufacture of [***] validation batches: Payment of $[***] for each batch manufactured in conformance with applicable specifications prior to termination (up to a maximum of $[***]).

[***]: Payment of $[***] for each batch manufactured in conformance with applicable specifications prior to termination (up to a maximum of $[***]).

[***]: Payment of $[***] for each batch manufactured in conformance with applicable specifications prior to termination (up to a maximum of $[***]).

[***]: Provide cGMP hand-cut samples for clinical PK studies: Payment of $[***] for manufacture of cGMP clinical supplies manufactured in conformance with applicable specifications prior to termination.

Stability Test milestones

[***]: Payment of $[***] upon both (i) manufacture of formulation in conformance with applicable specifications prior to termination and (ii) demonstration that such formulation satisfies applicable [***] stability standards (even if this [***] period concludes after termination by RB).

[***]: Payment of $[***] upon (i) manufacture of formulation in conformance with applicable specifications prior to termination and (ii) demonstration that such formulation satisfies applicable [***] stability standards (even if this [***] period concludes after termination by RB).

For the avoidance of doubt, in no case will the total amount payable by RB under this Section 4.4.2 with respect to any particular milestone exceed the total amount which would have been payable if MSX had completed such milestone in the absence of termination by RB,

Termination of this Addendum by either party does not, by itself, affect the remaining portions of the Agreement, nor does it affect any obligations of the parties under this Addendum which survive termination of the Addendum pursuant to the Agreement, including without limitation, the obligation of RB to pay for milestone payments as and when due under this Addendum.
 
5

4.5.
Inclusions and Exclusions

For all milestones except the “Pre-Signing” and “Analytical Toolkit” milestones, any project activities involving the design of improved formulations prepared by MSX shall include stability analyses performed on sample materials front sample batches and formulations at the following time periods: [***]. The costs of the performance of stability analyses at these intervals are covered and included in the applicable milestone payment, and no additional payments by RB for these stability analyses shall be required. If, however, RB requests stability analyses at time intervals beyond those specified in the previous sentence, additional reasonable charges for the cost of performing the additional requested stability analyses would apply.

Capital purchases required for final solutions (e.g., “[***]”) are not included in the milestone payments, and would be an additional charge. If purchased by MSX, the costs of such capital purchases would be passed through (without markup) to RB.

Except as expressly stated in this Section 4.5 (regarding extra stability tests, capital purchases for [***]) or in Section 4.4 (regarding termination fees), the milestone payments specified for each activity shall be all-inclusive for all project activities pertaining to a particular milestone to be completed. Work outside the scope of such project activities, and the additional fees associated therewith, would require a separate written agreement by both parties.

4.6.
Optional Activities

The activities classed as “optional” in Appendix A can only be commenced upon prior written approval by RB.

4.7.
API

RB shall timely provide MSX with all necessary API free of charge. In the event that RB fails to provide API meeting the API Specification in a timely manner and MSX can demonstrate that such failure caused delays in MSX’s ability to perform its obligations under this Addendum and MSX notifies RB of such delays in writing at the time such delays are occurring, then MSX may deduct the amount of time its performance of a particular milestone activity was delayed by such failure from the total amount of time MSX took to complete a particular milestone activity for purposes of determining whether MSX receives a bonus or penalty for its performance of the particular milestone under Appendix A. Failure of RB to timely deliver API or at all shall not be used by RB as grounds to avoid its obligation to make any milestone payment provided for in this Addendum.

5.
Project Management

5.1.          MSX shall be responsible for the project management and for providing appropriate resources to deliver the project. RB shall be responsible for (1) attending monthly project update meetings either in person or via teleconference, (2) providing timely decisions on items requested by MSX, and (3) providing appropriate RB expertise on the project.

5.2.          MSX is to present RB with a written project plan which shall be updated on a monthly basis.
 
6

5.3.         Additionally, MSX shall give verbal updates on a monthly basis. This is to take place in the form of a monthly teleconference or alternatively face- to-face meeting with participation and attendance by the joint technical team (“JTT”) and the supply team.

5.4.          The JTT shall consist of an equal number of members front MSX and RB, shall guide the project team and provide technical support when needed.

6.
Pricing of Commercial Products

Any products, designs or formulations which are developed pursuant to this Addendum or the performance of the Services herein and which are approved for commercial sale by at least one Regulatory Authority in at least one country or jurisdiction, or which have been supplied by RB or its agents to at least one customer (collectively, “Addendum Products”) shall be considered “Products” as defined in Clause 1.1 of the Agreement and treated as Products for purposes of the Agreement and this Addendum except as expressly stated in the last two paragraphs of this Section 6.

Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree that the Price payable by RB to MSX for any Addendum Product shall be the same as the then-current Cost of Goods Price for the “analogous Products” as set forth in Clauses 7.2 and 7.14 of the Agreement. An “analogous Product” refers to a Product containing the same amount of Buprenorphine API and dosage strength as an Addendum Product. As an illustrative example, if at a given time the then-current U.S. Cost of Goods Price per pouched single dose of pre-existing Product containing 2 mg Buprenorphine were $[***] and the then-current ROW Cost of Goods Price per pouched single dose of pm-existing Product containing 2 mg Buprenorphine were $[***], then the U.S. price of an Addendum Product containing an API of 2 mg Buprenorphine would also be $[***] per pouched single dose and the ROW price of an Addendum Product containing an API of 2 mg Buprenorphine would also be $[***] per pouched single dose). For the avoidance of doubt, the titles on pricing set forth in this paragraph apply both at the time of Product Launch of an Addendum Product and at all other times.

As the sole exception to the foregoing, in the event that the cost with respect to Raw Materials, Direct Labor, and/or manufacturing line time required to produce an Addendum Product is more or less expensive than that required to produce the analogous Product, then at the request of either party, the price of such Addendum Product shall be increased or decreased (as applicable) on a purely pass-through basis (without any markup by MSX) to account solely for the variations in costs with respect to Raw Materials, Direct Labor, Release Testing, or use of manufacturing line time; provided however, that MSX shall validate with competent evidence any increase in costs with respect to Raw Materials, Direct Labor, Release Testing, or use of manufacturing line time.

The parties acknowledge and agree that RB has completely fulfilled and satisfied its obligations under the Agreement to pay Royalties on Products sold in the U.S. Accordingly, RB shall have no obligation to make any royalty payments for any Products, including any Addendum Products, sold in the U.S. The parties acknowledge and agree that RB has continuing obligations to pay Royalties on the Net Sales Value of Products, including Addendum Products, sold in the ROW, pursuant to Section 7.4.2 of the Agreement.

ADDENDUM B TO COMMERCIAL EXPLOITATION AGREEMENT:
SUBOXONE STRIP DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

This Addendum B to Commercial Exploitation Agreement: Suboxone Strip Development Agreement (this “Addendum B”) is entered into as of this 30th day of July, 2014 the “(“Addendum Effective Date”), by and between Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals Inc., with offices at 10710 Midlothian Turnpike, Suite 430, Richmond, VA 23235 (“RB”) and MonoSol Rx, LLC, with offices at 30 Technology Drive, Warren, NJ 07059 (“MSX”).

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF PROJECT

A.           The parties entered into a Commercial Exploitation Agreement dated August 15, 2008, as amended (the “Agreement”).

B.           The parties entered into Addendum A to the Agreement as of October 15, 2013 relating to the development and potential commercialization of improved formulations of the Products (“Appendix A”).

C.            Pursuant and subject to the Agreement, the parties now wish to amend Addendum A by entering into a further addendum to the Agreement relating to: (i) the accelerated completion of scale-up work and manufacture of the [***] registration batches of the current development formulation of [***] Suboxone Sublingual Film containing [***] and the new development formulation, to be mutually agreed, of [***] Suboxone Sublingual Film containing [***] (the “[***]”) without [***] as outlined under Addendum A in order to facilitate an accelerated launch of Suboxone Sublingual Film in [***]; and (ii) a reformulation program for Suboxone Sublingual Film ([***] or [***] as determined by RB).

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.
Capitalized Terms

Capitalized terms used in this Addendum without definition shall have the same meanings ascribed to those terms in the Agreement.

2.
Addendum is Part of Agreement

This Addendum B is hereby incorporated into and made a part of the Agreement as if fully set forth therein, and is subject to the terms of the Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt rights to and ownership of any inventions and other intellectual property developed or created as a result of the work performed hereunder shall be governed by the Intellectual Property Rights provisions of the Agreement.
 

3.
Project Specifics

3.1.
Scope of Work

Within the scope of work set forth in this Addendum B, the following shall apply;

MSX will undertake the scale-up and manufacture of [***] registration batches each for the [***] and [***] dosage strengths required by Addendum A at MSX’s [***] facility (“[***]”).

As part of the scale-up work for each dosage strength, MSX will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify critical process parameters and in-process controls with limits where a control is deemed necessary. Parameters and control limits will be mutually agreed upon in writing between MSX and RB.

As part of the scale-up work for each dosage strength, MSX will use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct an appropriate [***] experiment to establish the working range for [***]. RB and MSX will agree upon the experiment design in writing prior to the start of the experiment.

All methods utilized in the mutually agreed finished product specification (the “Finished Product Specification”) will be validated prior to the delivery of the [***] data for Suboxone [***] Film registration batches.

MSX represents and warrants that it will perform the work under this Addendum B in accordance with prevailing industry standards. MSX further represents and warrants that all personnel who perform work under this Addendum B shall have appropriate training, experience and qualifications.

3.2.
Timeline and Payments

Assuming this Addendum B is executed and delivered by the parties on or before August 1, 2014, the [***] registration batches will be placed on stability by October 22, 2014 and the [***] registration batches will be placed on stability by December 31, 2014. (If this Addendum B is not executed and delivered by August 1, then for each day after August 1 before this Addendum B is executed and delivered, the timelines of the previous sentence for placing the registration batches on stability will be pushed back by an equivalent number of days). RB acknowledges that the timeline represents an accelerated approach and that any additional batches (above and beyond the batches described in Section 3.1 or in Addendum A) required to obtain scale-up manufacturing at [***] may impact the timeline. MSX will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the registration batches meet the Finished Product Specifications; however, RB acknowledges and agrees that the accelerated approach outlined in this Addendum B increases the risk of the registration batches failing to meet the Finished Product Specifications. RB will make prompt payment to MSX upon the completion of the registration batches as outlined under Addendum A regardless of the final performance of the batches unless the registration batch failure(s) are due to MSX’s gross negligence, intentional misconduct or breach of this Addendum B, Addendum A or the Agreement.
 
2

The parties recognize that the accelerated scope of work and timeline requested by RB related to the [***] product under this Addendum B has a significant impact on MSX’s business. In order to appropriately compensate MSX for this impact, RB will pay MSX [***]. MSX shall invoice RB and RB shall make payment [***] upon the execution and delivery of this Addendum B.

With the exception of the [***] milestone, all other milestones and payments contemplated under Addendum A and any existing statements of work between the parties shall continue to apply. (The [***] milestone, and any associated payment obligations to the extent not already paid on the part of RB, are hereby cancelled). MSX will credit RB [***] against the [***] for the [***] milestone payment already received by MSX under Addendum A.

RB and MSX will undertake a [***] for Suboxone Sublingual Film ([***] or [***] as determined by RB; the “[***]”). RB and MSX will build a project plan for the [***] and begin work by the earlier of (i) the reported outcome of the planned clinical PK study for Suboxone [***] Film or (ii) [***]. MSX will complete the Reformulation Program at a cost to RB of no more than [***] Thousand Dollars ($[***]).

Payments will be invoiced by MSX upon completion of all applicable criteria and will be due [***] after receipt of said invoice by RB.

For all purposes of this Addendum B, the term “completion” as applied to the fulfillment by MSX of any obligation of any obligations under either Addendum A or this Addendum B shall have the same meaning as defined in Section 4.1 of Addendum A.

In the event of any good faith disputes with respect to any such invoice, RB shall pay the undisputed portion of any such invoice within this time period.

3.3.
Termination and Termination Fee

MSX may terminate this Addendum B by giving [***] written notice of termination to RB if RB shall fail to make any undisputed payment to MSX as and when due under this Addendum B and such failure remains uncured at the end of such [***] notice period.

RB may terminate this Addendum B at any time with or without cause by giving written notice of termination to MSX. In the event that RB terminates this Addendum B, or otherwise fails to start the Reformulation Program (defined in Appendix A) by October 1, 2015, RB shall pay MSX a termination fee of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) upon the effective date of the applicable triggering event (such fee is in lieu of, and not in addition to, any otherwise applicable termination fee under Addendum A).

Termination of this Addendum B by either party does not, by itself, affect the remaining portions of the Agreement, including without limitation Addendum A, nor does it affect any obligations of the parties under this Addendum B which survive termination of this Addendum B pursuant to the Agreement, including without limitation, the obligation of RB to make payments as and when due under this Addendum B.

3.4.
Inclusions and Exclusions

Work outside the scope of this Addendum B or the unmodified portions of Addendum A, and the additional fees associated therewith, would require a separate written agreement by both parties.

3.5.
Quality

RB will identify and introduce to MSX the Qualified Person (the “QP”) that RB has assigned to the launch of Suboxone Sublingual Film [***] as soon as is practicable. The QP will engage with MSX on a plan of action for preparing for the necessary [***] regulatory filings.

3.6.
Product Risk

RB will be responsible for the product defect risks either associated intrinsically with the [***] or the associated manufacturing process, in each case provided it is carried out in compliance with the mutually agreed upon written process parameters and in-process controls as defined in MSX’s manufacturing batch record.

Any recalls or regulatory actions taken as a result of such [***] product defects will be at RB’s expense except to the extent such product defects result from MSX’s failure to follow GMP or the mutually agreed upon written process parameters and in-process controls as defined in MSX’s manufacturing batch record, or from MSX’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of the Agreement or any Addendum thereof.

Product defect risk for the [***] will revert to the terms set forth in the Agreement upon the earlier of (1) the commercial launch of [***] developed by MSX using an appropriate [***] (although this is not part of the immediate RB strategy) and (2) the usage of [***] doses in the marketplace.

4.
CONFLICTING TERMS

In the event of a conflict between this Addendum B and the Agreement, the Agreement shall govern. In the event of a conflict between this Addendum B and Addendum A, this Addendum B shall govern.

5.
EFFECTIVE DATE

This Addendum B shall be effective as of the Addendum Effective Date.

6.
