Products shall be ordered by SERENITY by the issuance of separate, pre-numbered purchase orders in increments of full batches.
(b)    Forecasted Needs
SERENITY shall provide DPT with a written, non-binding eighteen (18) month projection with specific data as to its Forecasted Needs. Such Forecasted Needs shall be updated by SERENITY monthly on or before the 10th day of each calendar month on a rolling eighteen (18) month basis. It is understood and agreed that with respect to all Forecasted Needs issued to DPT by SERENITY pursuant to the terms hereof, the forecast for the first four (4) months thereof shall constitute a firm order for Products, regardless of receipt of SERENITY's actual purchase order. Thereafter, SERENITY shall provide OPT with a purchase order on or before the 10th day of each calendar month. DPT may produce Product up to thirty (30) days prior to the requested delivery date in order to accommodate fluctuations in production demands. The remaining fourteen (14) months of the Forecasted Needs shall be utilized by DPT for purposes of production planning. DPT shall attempt to minimize the material inventory purchased on behalf of SERENITY. Certain materials, however, may have long lead times and/or require a minimum order quantity. The Parties agree that the Long Lead Time Quantity (as defined below) is greater than the quantity needed to support up to six (6) months of SERENITY's Forecasted Needs. At least ninety (90) days prior to first commercial production, SERENITY and DPT will mutually agree on what components or materials are designated as "Long Lead Time Items" and what the lead time is for each Long Lead Time Item, as well as the quantity of each Long Lead Time Item that DPT must purchase to support SERENITY's Forecasted Needs ("Long Lead Time Quantity").
DPT shall notify Serenity and obtain SERENITY's prior written approval for any orders of chemical and packaging components in excess of the Long Lead Time Quantity. DPT agrees to provide Serenity, in writing, minimum order quantities for chemical and packaging components. Should SERENITY subsequently reduce its Forecasted Needs, SERENITY will be financially responsible for any material purchased by DPT on SERENITY's behalf in accordance with this Section. Any such material which is subsequently rendered in excess of that required to support up to six (6) months of SERENITY's Forecasted Needs may be subject to storage and inventory caring fees. DPT will require a deposit for such materials as well as any mutually agreed upon safety stock carried on behalf of SERENITY.
(c)    Time of Issuance
SERENITY shall issue written purchase orders for Products to DPT at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the requested delivery dates (the "Lead Time") if the requirements are at or below [***] percent ([***]%)) of the applicable Forecasted Needs, and at least [***] ([***]) days prior to the requested delivery dates if the requirements exceed the Forecasted Needs by more than [***] percent ([***]%), subject to material lead time and the timely availability of materials prior to production. However, DPT

7

[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY AVADEL PHARMACEUTICALS PLC]



agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver increase in requirements greater than [***]% within the Lead Time.
(d)    Contents of Purchase Orders
SERENITY's purchase orders shall designate the desired quantities of Products, price, delivery terms, delivery dates and destinations, and purchase order number for billing purposes. This Agreement allows for up to three (3) shipping destinations per batch of Product. Additional destinations can be accommodated for a shipping preparation fee to be negotiated by DPT and SERENITY.
(e)    Minimum Purchase Requirements following FDA approval
SERENITY shall be required to purchase a minimum quantity of Product per Calendar Year commencing with the Launch Year. For clarity purposes, the term "Unit" shall be defined as one vial equipped with Aptar pump device which includes the Product. The Units produced in validation batches that are commercialized, shall be counted toward such minimum purchase requirements (for example, but without limitation, Units produced in validation batches that are commercialized in the period beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31 shall be counted toward the minimum purchase requirement for such period, and any Units produced in validation batches that are commercialized in any Calendar Year thereafter shall be counted toward the minimum purchase requirement for such Calendar Year). In the event that SERENITY fails to purchase the agreed upon minimum requirements in a given Calendar Year, SERENITY agrees to pay DPT the Unit shortfall at the agreed upon Manufacturing Fee in accordance with Schedule A. For the avoidance of doubt, for Products that are ordered in accordance of this Agreement and are scheduled to be delivered with a specified delivery date within the same Calendar Year in which the order was placed, the quantity shall be counted towards the minimum purchase requirements for that applicable Calendar Year regardless if the Products were actually made or delivered during that Calendar Year and will not be counted for the following Calendar Year when the Products are actually delivered.

2.7    Delayed Delivery

8

[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY AVADEL PHARMACEUTICALS PLC]



In the event that any delivery of the Product is anticipated to be late, DPT will promptly notify SERENITY of the circumstances for the delay. DPT will make a reasonable effort to minimize the delay. At the request of SERENITY, subject to SERENITY'S obligation under Paragraph 2.2(b) to make available to DPT SERENITY Materials timely, DPT agrees to assume the burden of bearing additional costs associated with overtime production and premium freight for corrective action as a result of delays caused by events under the span of control of DPT.
2.8    Rejected Products
(a)    Rejection of Product by SERENITY
SERENITY may reject any Product which fails to meet the Specifications ("Rejected Product"). SERENITY shall, within sixty (60) days after its receipt of any shipment of Product and related Certificate of Analysis of Product batch (as described in paragraph 6.1 hereof), notify DPT in writing of any claim relating to rejected Product batch and, failing such notification, shall be deemed to have accepted such Product batch; provided, however, SERENITY may reject all of a given lot or batch of Product if a statistical sample does not meet the Specifications. Such notice to DPT shall specify why the Product batch failed to perform to Specifications. SERENITY shall grant to DPT the right to inspect or test said Product batch. All Products shall be submitted to inspection and evaluation in accordance with DPT's SOP's to determine whether or not said Products meet the Specifications. SERENITY's inspection and/or acceptance of Product shall not relieve DPT of any obligations or warranties under this Agreement.
(b)    Replacement of Rejected Product
As to any Rejected Product pursuant to paragraph 2.7(a) above, DPT shall, without prejudice to any of SERENITY's other rights, promptly replace such Rejected Product (in an agreed upon batch order quantity, but in no event less than full batch increments). If requested, DPT shall make arrangements with SERENITY for the return or disposal of Rejected Product.
(c)    Responsibility for Costs
For the initial three (3) commercial batches and all validation batches of a Product produced by DPT, or in the event a Rejected Product is due to SERENITY supplied information, formulations or materials, SERENITY shall bear one hundred percent (100%) of all costs directly related to and invoiced for Rejected Product including cost of destruction of the Rejected Product, which shall be conducted by SERENITY in accordance with all Applicable Laws (as defined below). Upon the completion of all necessary validation batches and the first three (3) commercial batches, and in the event a validated Product is rejected due to DPT's failure to comply with applicable written procedures and such failure renders the Product unmarketable, DPT shall bear one hundred percent (100%) of the manufacturing fees, costs of all materials supplied by DPT and costs of destruction. In the event a validated Product does not meet final Specifications and results in a Rejected Product, but such failure is not due to either SERENITY supplied information or DPT's failure to follow written procedures, SERENITY shall bear all Materials Fees with DPT bearing all Manufacturing Fees related to Rejected Product, and with destruction to be paid by SERENITY. Destruction of Rejected Product shall be in accordance with all Applicable Laws and the Party

(d)    Resolution of Conflict
In the event of a conflict between the test results of DPT and the test results of SERENITY with respect to any shipment of Product batch, a sample of such Product batch shall be submitted by DPT to an independent laboratory or recognized industry expert acceptable to both Parties for testing against the Specifications utilizing the methods set out in the Specifications and/or Quality Agreement. The fees and expenses of such laboratory testing shall be borne entirely by the Party against whom such laboratory's findings are made. If results from the independent laboratory are inconclusive, final resolution will be settled in accordance with paragraph 13.6 (b) below.
(e)    Recalled Product
In the event (i) any government authority issues a request, directive or administrative order that Product be recalled, or (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction orders a Product recalled, or (iii) SERENITY reasonably declares any recall of, or field corrective action to, any Product supplied to SERENITY under this Agreement, DPT agrees to cooperate with SERENITY in connection with any such recall. In the event such recall results from the breach of DPT's warranties under this Agreement, DPT shall be responsible for the administrative expenses of the recall as well as for the cost of replacing the recalled Product. In the event the recall results from the breach of SERENITY's warranties under this Agreement, SERENITY shall be responsible for all of the expenses of the recall. For the purposes of this Agreement, administrative expenses of the recall shall be the expenses of notification and return (but not destruction) of the recalled Product; including any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Parties in connection with any corrective action. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, DPT's liability for administrative expenses under this paragraph 2.7 shall not exceed [***] dollars ($[***]) per incident; provided, however, this monetary limitation shall not apply to DPT's indemnity obligations under Section Xl.

However, in the event that during this period the annual Units exceed [***] Units and PPI exceeds [***] percent ([***]%) percent, then pricing during this period will be adjusted by the amount in excess of [***] percent ([***]%).

10

[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY AVADEL PHARMACEUTICALS PLC]



Effective [***] the Manufacturing Fees shall be re-negotiated, in good faith, at the beginning of each Calendar Year. If the Parties are unable to agree on a re-negotiated price at least thirty (30) days prior to the start of a new twelve (12) month period, then this Agreement, effective the first day of January of the new twelve (12) month period, shall continue in force with prices being adjusted to reflect the change in the most recently published monthly Producer Price Index for Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing PCU 325412, issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, US Department of Labor ("PPI") in July of the preceding year as compared to the same month of the year prior thereto until such time as to when price negotiation can be completed.
(For example: If in July [***] the PPI is 548.3 and in the previous year ([***]) the PPI was 530.5, the difference would be 17.8 (548.3-530.5 = 17.8). Then the 17.8 would be divided by 530.5 resulting in a PPI increase of 3.4% in year [***]).
Prices for new Products or new Product sizes, new batch sizes or product configuration changes not initially included in Schedule A, shall be negotiated and DPT and COMPANY shall arrive at a mutual agreement with respect to prices at the time said new Products or new Product sizes are added to Schedule A.
(b)    Materials Fees
The Materials Fee to be paid by SERENITY to DPT shall be listed in Schedule A within one hundred twenty (120) days of commencement of the initial commercial products of the applicable Product. The Materials Fee will be adjusted once annually at the beginning of each Calendar Year and Schedule A shall be amended accordingly based on changes in DPT's standard costs for materials. In the event, however, the cost of a material increases during any Calendar Year greater than [***] percent ([***]%), DPT may promptly upon the effective date of such increase adjust its invoice price for said material to SERENITY to compensate for the increase.
Material Fees for new Products or new Product sizes, new batch sizes or product configuration changes not initially be included in Schedule A and shall be established at the time prior to first production.
2.10    Payment
Payment of undisputed amounts for all deliveries of Product and services shall be made in U.S. Dollars (USD), net thirty (30) days after the date of SERENITY's receipt of the applicable invoice. Invoices shall be generated upon shipment of Product from DPT. Total invoice price shall be equal to the quantity of Product times the Total Price per unit effective on the date of Product release, as listed in Schedule A. If SERENITY disputes any portion of an invoice received DPT, then SERENITY shall so notify DPT in writing of the disputed amounts and shall pay the undisputed amounts as set forth above in this paragraph 2.10, and the Parties shall use good faith efforts to reconcile the disputed amounts as soon as practicable.
Payments shall be made by certified check, via wire transfer or through other instrument accepted by DPT. Fund transfers by wire should be made to the following (this information may be updated in writing from time to time without requiring an amendment to this Agreement):

If either Party expects to seek indemnification from the other under this Agreement, it shall (a) promptly give notice to the other Party of any such claim or suit threatened, made or filed against it which forms the basis for such claim of indemnification (except that failure to timely provide such notice will relieve the other Party of its obligations only to the extent the other Party is materially prejudiced as a direct result of such delay), (b) give the other Party sole control over the defense thereof and any related settlement negotiations, and (c) cooperate fully with the other Party, at the other Party's expense, in the defense of all such claims or suits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Party seeking indemnification may participate at its own expense in the defense and any settlement discussions, and will have the right to approve any settlement agreement that involves an admission of fault by such Party or imposes non-monetary obligations on such Party; provided, however, that such approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

12.2    Entire Agreement; Amendment
The Parties hereto acknowledge that this Agreement, Capacity Guaranty Agreement and Quality Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties and supersedes all prior written or oral agreements or understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof, and shall supersede any conflicting portions of DPT's quotation, acknowledgment and invoice forms and SERENITY's Purchase Order and other written forms. No modification of any of the terms of this Agreement, or any amendments thereto, shall be deemed to be valid unless in writing and signed by the Party against whom enforcement is sought. No course of dealing or usage of trade shall be used to modify the terms and conditions herein.
12.3    Waiver
No waiver by either Party of any default shall be effective unless in writing, nor shall any such waiver operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion.
12.4    Obligations to Third Parties
Each Party warrants and represents that proceeding herein is not inconsistent with any contractual obligations express or implied, undertaken with any third party.
12.5    Assignment and Subcontracting
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors or permitted assigns of each of the Parties and may not be assigned or transferred by either Party without the prior written consent of the other, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. No such assignment shall release the original Party hereto from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge and agree that SERENITY may assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement to Allergan (or any Affiliate of Allergan), and upon any such assignment or transfer, Allergan may assign or transfer this Agreement to an Affiliate or a successor to that area of its business to which this Agreement is related with DPT's approval, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
DPT will not subcontract or otherwise delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without SERENITY's express prior written consent on a case-by-case basis, which consent shall

23

[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY AVADEL PHARMACEUTICALS PLC]



not be unreasonably withheld. Upon receipt of such consent, before allowing any subcontractor to begin performing services hereunder, DPT will enter into a binding written agreement with such subcontractor that protects SERENITY's (and Allergan's) rights and interests to at least the same degree as this Agreement. DPT will be responsible for the direction and coordination of the services of each subcontractor and SERENITY will have no obligation to pay any subcontractor directly.
12.6    Third Party Beneficiary
Subject to Section 12.5 above and upon assignment of this Agreement to Allergan, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Allergan shall have the right to enforce this Agreement directly against DPT as if Allergan was "SERENITY" hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Allergan, with or without the foregoing assignment, shall have the right to enforce the Capacity Guaranty Agreement, as it relates to the equipment, against DPT as set forth in that agreement.
12.7    Governing Law and Arbitration
(a)    Governing Law
The validity, interpretation and effect of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the substantive laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts of law provisions contained therein.
(b)    Arbitration
(i)
ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING FROM OR RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE INTERPRETATION, APPLICATION, BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY THEREOF, INCLUDING ANY CLAIM OF INDUCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT BY FRAUD OR OTHERWISE, WILL BE SUBMITTED FOR RESOLUTION TO ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES THEN PERTAINING OF THE CENTER FOR PUBLIC RESOURCES ("CPR"), EXCEPT WHERE THOSE RULES CONFLICT WITH THESE PROVISIONS, IN WHICH CASE THESE PROVISIONS CONTROL. SUCH ARBITRATION SHALL BE HELD IN DELAWARE.
(ii)
The panel shall consist of three arbitrators chosen from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals each of whom is a lawyer specializing in business litigation with at least 15 years' experience with a law firm of over 25 lawyers or was a judge of a court of general jurisdiction. In the event the aggregate damages sought by the claimant are stated to be less than $5 million, and the aggregate damages sought by the counterclaimant are stated to be less than $5 million, and neither side seeks equitable relief, then a single arbitrator shall be chosen, having the same qualifications and experience specified above.
(iii)
The Parties agree to cooperate (1) to obtain selection of the arbitrator(s) within 30 days of initiation of the arbitration, (2) to meet with the arbitrator(s) within 30 days of selection and (3) to agree at that meeting or before upon procedures for

24

[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY AVADEL PHARMACEUTICALS PLC]



discovery and as to the conduct of the hearing which will result in the hearing being concluded within no more than 9 months after selection of the arbitrator(s) and in the award being rendered within 60 days of the conclusion of the hearings, or of any post-hearing briefing, which briefing will be completed by both sides within 20 days after the conclusion of the hearings. In the event no such agreement is reached, the CPR will select arbitrator(s), allowing appropriate strikes for reasons of conflict or other cause and three peremptory challenges for each side. The arbitrator(s) shall set a date for the hearing, commit to the rendering of the award within 60 days of the conclusion of the evidence at the hearing, or of any post-hearing briefing (which briefing will be completed by both sides in no more than 20 days after the conclusion of the hearings), and provide for discovery according to these time limits, giving recognition to the understanding of the Parties hereto that they contemplate reasonable discovery, including document demands and depositions, but that such discovery be limited so that the time limits specified herein may be met without undue difficulty. In no event will the arbitrator(s) allow either side to obtain more than a total of 40 hours of deposition testimony from all witnesses, including both fact and expert witnesses. In the event multiple hearing days are required, they will be scheduled consecutively to the greatest extent possible.
(iv)
The arbitrator(s) shall render an opinion setting forth findings of fact and conclusions of law with the reasons therefor stated. A transcript of the evidence adduced at the hearing shall be made and shall, upon request, be made available to either Party.
(v)
To the extent possible, the arbitration hearings and award will be maintained in confidence.
(vi)
Any court of competent jurisdiction may enter judgment upon any award. In the event the panel's award exceeds $5 million in monetary damages or includes or consists of equitable relief, then the court shall vacate, modify or correct any award where the arbitrators' findings of fact are clearly erroneous, and/or where the arbitrators' conclusions of law are erroneous; in other words, it will undertake the same review as if it were a federal appellate court reviewing a district court's findings of fact and conclusions of law rendered after a bench trial. An award for less than $5 million in damages and not including equitable relief may be vacated, modified or corrected only upon the grounds specified in the Federal Arbitration Act.
(vii)
Each Party has the right before or during the arbitration to seek and obtain from the appropriate court provisional remedies such as attachment, preliminary injunction, replevin, etc. to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo, or preserve the subject matter of the arbitration.
(viii)
EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL OF ANY ISSUE BY JURY.
(ix)
The Parties covenant that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith, and that they will share equally in its costs.

(c)    Mediation
(i)
ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE INTERPRETATION, APPLICATION, BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY THEREOF, INCLUDING ANY CLAIM OF INDUCEMENT BY FRAUD OR OTHERWISE, WHICH CLAIM WOULD, BUT FOR THIS PROVISION, BE SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION SHALL, BEFORE SUBMISSION TO ARBITRATION, FIRST BE MEDIATED THROUGH NON-BINDING MEDIATION. SUCH MEDIATION SHALL BE HELD IN DELAWARE AND SHALL BE ATTENDED BY A SENIOR EXECUTIVE WITH AUTHORITY TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE FROM EACH OF THE OPERATING COMPANIES THAT ARE PARTIES.
(ii)
After written notice of any dispute or controversy arising out of or related to the Agreement, or the interpretation, application, breach, termination or validity thereof and Written Demand for Mediation (the "Written Demand for Mediation"), the Parties shall promptly confer within seven (7) days in an effort to select a mediator by mutual agreement. In the absence of such an agreement within thirty (30) days of the date of the Written Demand for Mediation by either of the Parties, the mediator shall be selected by the Party making the demand for mediation. In the event that the Party that has not made the Written Demand for Mediation refuses to participate in the mediation process for any reason, or mediation is not scheduled within sixty (60) days of the Written Demand for Mediation for any reason, then the part that made the Written Demand for Mediation shall have the absolute right to proceed to arbitration pursuant to paragraph 13.7(b) of this Agreement.
(iii)
The mediator shall confer with the Parties to design procedures to conclude the mediation within no more than 45 days after initiation. Under no circumstances shall the commencement of arbitration under Section 12.7(b) above be delayed more than 45 days by the mediation process specified herein.
(iv)
Each Party agrees to toll all applicable statutes of limitation during the mediation process and not to use the period or pendency of the mediation to disadvantage the other Party procedurally or otherwise. No statements made by either side during the mediation may be used by the other during any subsequent arbitration.
(v)
Each Party has the right to pursue provisional relief from any court, such as attachment, preliminary injunction, replevin, etc., to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo, or preserve the subject matter of the arbitration, even though mediation has not been commenced or completed.
(d)    Legal Fees
The provisions of this paragraph 12.7 may be enforced by any Court of competent jurisdiction, and the Party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys' fees, to be paid by the Party against whom enforcement is ordered.

12.8    Severability
In the event that any term or provision of this Agreement shall violate any applicable statute, ordinance, or rule of law in any jurisdiction in which it is used, or otherwise be unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed modified and will be interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under Applicable Law without invalidating any other provision hereof.
12.9    Headings, Interpretation
The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not a part of this Agreement.
12.10    Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed by electronic transmission (e.g. fax, email/scan) in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same original.

In performing its services hereunder, DPT shall act as an independent contractor.
12.12    Export/Import Laws and Regulations
This Agreement is subject to any restrictions concerning the import or export of Product, active pharmaceutical ingredient, chemical or packaging components (or related technical information or data) to or from the United States as well as the laws and regulations of any other country involved in the import or export of such Product, active pharmaceutical ingredient, chemical or packaging components (or related technical information or data).
SERENITY acknowledges that it shall be solely and exclusively responsible for the preparation of all import and export documentation and compliance with all import and export laws of the United States as well as the laws and regulations of any other country involved in the import or export of such Product, active pharmaceutical ingredient, chemical or packaging components (or related technical information or data); except as otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing. Subject to Paragraph 11.7, SERENITY shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless DPT for any and all liability, damage, loss, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) resulting from any third party claims made or suits brought against DPT to the extent arising from any breach by SERENITY of its obligations under this provision. SERENITY shall be the importer or exporter of record for all such import or export activities.

Pricing above reflects pricing for Product produced in the new [***] manufacturing suite and utilizing the [***] filler referenced in the Capacity Guaranty Agreement.
In the event that DPT is not approved for testing of Products, pricing will be reduced by $[***] per unit until such time that DPT is approved and assumes responsibility for testing.
For clarity, units of Product produced in validation batches that are commercialized shall count for purposes of determining the tiered prices only in the Calendar Year in which the Product is produced.
Parties agree to discuss and establish pricing two months prior to the Calendar Year. In the initial Calendar Year, pricing will be established at the lowest volume tier. Thereafter, Parties agree to establish pricing two months prior to each Calendar Year and will assess the prior Calendar Year's actual units produced and scheduled to be delivered in the applicable Calendar Year as well as the Forecasted Needs in selecting the appropriate volume tier pricing to be effective on January 1. Parties agree to review and reset volume tier pricing, if required, mid-year based on actual units shipped in accordance with this Agreement in combination with Forecasted Needs for the remaining months in the Calendar Year. Parties agree to review and issue a "true-up" payment two times per year in the event that DPT has either undercharged or over charged based on a change in tier level price. For example, If DPT charged SERENITY tier pricing of $[***] and SERENITY's actual units for the year were [***]. DPT would pay SERENITY $[***].

Schedule D
Facilities
DPT will build-out and construct at its Facilities certain improvements for use as a manufacturing suite ("the Manufacturing Suite") for the manufacture and supply of Products. The Manufacturing Suite shall use best engineering practices, and meet local site standards, guidelines and regulatory requirements. The Manufacturing Suite will facilitate proper process flow, people flow, maintenance and cleaning, prevent cross-contamination, and will have provisions to prevent entrance of unauthorized people in accordance with cGMPs.
The "critical" area of the Manufacturing Suite where the sterilized drug product, containers, and closures are exposed to environmental conditions will be designed to be classified as [***]. The area of the Manufacturing Suite immediately adjacent to the aseptic processing line will meet, at a minimum, [***] standards under dynamic conditions.
Clean area control parameters will be supported by microbiological and particle data obtained during qualification studies. Conformance to standards will occur with an aseptic processing facility monitoring program, a routine monitoring and maintenance program. A changeover and cleaning procedure will be in place to prevent cross-contamination between products.
