     3.2 Ordering. (a) Cadence shall submit to BMS a written irrevocable firm purchase order for all Clinical Testing Products to be purchased by it not later than [***] ([***]) [***] prior to the requested shipping date of such Clinical Testing Products (each, a “Firm Order”).

     (b) No terms and conditions contained in any purchase order, acknowledgment, invoice, bill of lading, acceptance or other preprinted form issued by either Party shall be effective to the extent they are inconsistent with or modify the terms and conditions contained herein.

     3.3 Shipping Document. Each shipment of Clinical Testing Products shall include a certificate of analysis and a packing slip that describes the Clinical Testing Products, the date of manufacture, traceable lot or batch number(s), quantities, shipment date and destination and such additional information as the Parties may agree in writing from time to time.

     3.4 Delivery, Title, and Shipping. (a) Delivery of Clinical Testing Products shall be [***] the designated port of departure (Incoterms 2000) in Italy, which port of departure (maritime or air) shall be specified by Cadence. BMS shall arrange for shipping and insurance in the manner customarily arranged for its own products from the point of manufacture to the port of departure and shall arrange for Italian export clearances, but Cadence shall bear the cost of such shipping and insurance, any special packing expenses and export or customs agents, all of

which shall be included in BMS’s invoice and paid by Cadence in accordance with Section 3.5. Cadence shall arrange for loading, shipment, insurance from the port of departure to the ultimate destination and import customs clearances at the destination country, and Cadence shall be responsible for all loading charges, freight, insurance, import customs clearances and other shipping expenses from such port of departure to the ultimate destination. Title to the Clinical Testing Products and risk of loss, delay or damage in transit for Clinical Testing Products purchased by Cadence shall pass to Cadence when the Clinical Testing Products are placed at the disposal of Cadence’s carrier at the port of departure. Cadence shall cause its carrier to inspect all Clinical Testing Products for physical damage prior to shipment, and Cadence shall promptly notify BMS of any such physical damage. Cadence shall bear the cost of all such pre-shipment inspection. BMS and its Affiliates shall not have any responsibility for any loss or damage to any Clinical Testing Products after BMS or its export or customs agent places the Clinical Testing Products at the disposal of Cadence’s carrier, nor shall any loss or damage to any Clinical Testing Products following such placement at the disposal of Cadence’s carrier obviate Cadence’s obligation to purchase and pay for such Clinical Testing Products. Without limiting BMS’s right to recover the full invoiced amount for the Clinical Testing Products and as partial security therefor, Cadence shall cause each shipment of Clinical Testing Products to be insured for the full invoiced amount of each shipment. Cadence shall provide to BMS proof, satisfactory to BMS, of such insurance.

     The ultimate destination country of each shipment hereunder shall be in the Territory. In the event Cadence desires to use any of the Clinical Testing Products for clinical trials in the Clinical Study Countries (as defined in the IV APAP Agreement) in accordance with Section 3.6 of the IV APAP Agreement, Cadence shall ship such Clinical Testing Products to the Territory and Cadence shall be solely responsible for shipping such Clinical Testing Products for the Territory to an appropriate destination in the applicable Clinical Study Country.

     (b) BMS shall place the Clinical Testing Products at the disposal of Cadence’s carrier at port of departure (maritime or air) for shipment to Cadence or its designee, appropriately labeled with a traceable lot or batch number and packaged for shipping in the standard commercial packaging materials customarily used by BMS not later than the later of (i) [***] ([***]) [***] following the receipt of Cadence’s Firm Order or (ii) the shipping date requested by Cadence in its Firm Order. If Cadence requests a shipping date that is less than [***] ([***]) [***] after the delivery to BMS of the applicable Firm Order, BMS shall use reasonable commercial efforts to meet such earlier delivery date, but BMS shall not be in breach of this Agreement for failing to meet such earlier delivery date. If BMS or its Affiliate is unable to place any shipment at the disposal of Cadence’s carrier by the date described in the first sentence of this paragraph, in addition to any other remedies available to Cadence pursuant to this Agreement, BMS shall provide Cadence with updated delivery information (including estimated delivery date(s)) in writing on a weekly basis until such shipment has been made available to Cadence’s carrier.[***](c) Cadence shall make arrangements with a carrier to pick up each shipment of Clinical Testing Products at the designated port of departure (maritime or air) and to transport such shipment of Clinical Testing Products to Cadence or its designee. Cadence shall notify BMS in advance in writing of the name of the carrier and shall provide such other information as may be necessary for BMS to place the Clinical Testing Products at the disposal of such carrier

at the port of departure. Cadence shall have sole responsibility for the import of the Clinical Testing Products into the Territory and for obtaining all import and import-related customs permits and clearances.[***](d) In the event of any shortage of supply of Clinical Testing Products due to Force Majeure, BMS shall allocate its available supply of Clinical Testing Products between it and its Affiliates, its and its Affiliates’ other customers and Cadence on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate back orders of Clinical Testing Products, which allocation shall be determined by BMS in good faith.

     3.5 Invoicing and Payment. (a) BMS shall invoice Cadence for the Clinical Testing Products in Dollars at the time of shipment. Each invoice shall include the invoice number, the Firm Order number (if any), unit price and total price of the Clinical Testing Products contained in the shipment.

     (b) Cadence shall pay BMS within [***] ([***]) [***] after the receipt of any invoice. All payments to be made hereunder to BMS shall be made in Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as may be designated by BMS in writing from time to time, unless the Parties agree to settle such payments through other means. In the event Cadence disputes any invoice, Cadence shall pay any undisputed amount as and when due hereunder and shall pay the additional amount, if any, owed with respect to such invoice not later than [***] ([***] [***] following the resolution of such dispute, together with interest from the original due date of such invoice at the rate specified in Section 3.5(c).

     (c) Any payment not made as and when due shall bear interest at the rate of [***] percent ([***]%) per annum, compounded daily, from the due date to the date of payment. In addition to but without limiting the preceding sentence, BMS shall have the right to suspend future shipments of Clinical Testing Products to Cadence if BMS does not receive payment within [***] ([***]) [***] after the date of any invoice, other than invoices subject to a bona fide dispute. BMS shall resume shipments of Clinical Testing Products upon receiving such late payment and, if requested by BMS, reasonable assurances as to payment of future invoices.

     3.6 Inspection; Non-Conforming Product. (a) Cadence shall promptly inspect or cause to be inspected all shipments of Clinical Testing Products hereunder and shall test, or cause to be tested, all Clinical Testing Products received by it or its designee within [***] ([***]) [***] after receipt of such shipment at the shipping destination. Within [***] ([***]) [***]s after receipt by Cadence of any shipment of Clinical Testing Products, Cadence may reject any lot or portion thereof that failed to conform to the Specifications or the terms of this Agreement at the time BMS placed the Clinical Testing Products at the disposal of Cadence’s carrier by sending BMS notice of the lot or batch numbers of the rejected Clinical Testing Products, together with an indication of the specific basis for rejection and a sample of the rejected goods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the discovery of the non-conformity of any Clinical Testing Product could not reasonably have been discovered until after such [***] ([***]) [***] period, Cadence shall notify BMS of such non-conformity promptly (and in any event not less than [***] ([***]) [***]) following the discovery thereof. Cadence shall not be entitled to reject any shipment or any portion thereof on account of damage incurred following the time that BMS

placed the Clinical Testing Products at the disposal of Cadence’s carrier, and Cadence’s sole remedy shall be against the carrier or under any applicable insurance. BMS shall have the right to examine and test any Clinical Testing Product that Cadence claims to be non-conforming. If it is determined that there is any such failure to conform to Specifications at the time that BMS placed the Clinical Testing Products at the disposal of Cadence’s carrier, BMS and Cadence shall cooperate to determine the cause of the non-conformity.

     (b) In the event that BMS and Cadence do not resolve such issue within [***] ([***]) Business Days after BMS notifies Cadence that BMS disagrees with Cadence’s belief as to the non-conformity of any Clinical Testing Product at the time that BMS places the Clinical Testing Products at the disposal of Cadence’s carrier, such Parties shall submit a sample of the disputed Clinical Testing Product to an independent laboratory, mutually selected by the Parties, for testing, and the results of such testing shall be binding upon the Parties, absent manifest error. The Party whose assertion as to the conformity or nonconformity of the Clinical Testing Product in question is not supported by the results of the testing of the independent laboratory shall bear all costs and expenses of such testing. If the results of such testing by such independent laboratory are inconclusive, then (i) all costs and expenses of such testing shall be borne by the Parties in equal shares and (ii) the Parties shall share the Supply Price of such Clinical Testing Products and the freight, insurance and other shipping expenses, fees, duties, taxes and levies incurred by the Parties in connection therewith, and Cadence shall pay to BMS one-half of such Supply Price and other items within [***] ([***]) [***] after the receipt of such inconclusive results; and (iii) BMS shall promptly replace any such Clinical Testing Products and deliver FCA in accordance with Section 3.4 replacement conforming Clinical Testing Products (even if such replacement entails shipping Clinical Testing Products subsequent to the Supply Term), which shall be purchased and paid for by Cadence in accordance with Article 2 and Section 3.5 of this Agreement.

     (c) Cadence shall, as requested by BMS in its sole discretion: (i) return promptly to BMS at BMS’s expense all properly rejected Clinical Testing Products or (ii) destroy such non-conforming Clinical Testing Products in accordance with FDA guidelines or send such non-conforming Clinical Testing Products to a destruction facility of BMS’s choice for destruction at BMS’s expense. Cadence shall not be required to pay BMS for any Clinical Testing Product that has been properly rejected, and BMS shall reimburse or credit Cadence for the freight, insurance and other shipping expenses, fees, duties, taxes and levies for any shipment of Clinical Testing Products that is properly rejected. BMS shall promptly replace any properly rejected Clinical Testing Products and supply to Cadence conforming Clinical Testing Products (even if such replacement entails shipping Clinical Testing Products subsequent to the Supply Term). Cadence shall pay the Supply Price and all shipping costs (which shall include the cost of returning the Clinical Testing Products to BMS and reshipping such Clinical Testing Products to Cadence or its designee) for any Clinical Testing Products improperly rejected.

     3.7 Obsolescence Charge. To the extent that BMS purchases inventories of raw materials, components or other supplies to meet Cadence’s Forecast, Cadence shall reimburse BMS for any such inventories that were purchased but unused and cannot reasonably be used by BMS.

     3.8 Quality Control. Not later than [***] ([***]) [***] after the Execution Date, BMS (and/or one of its Affiliates) and Cadence shall enter into a quality agreement (the “Quality Agreement”) containing quality terms consistent with Applicable Law and such other terms as are mutually satisfactory to the Parties and not inconsistent with this Agreement. When the Quality Agreement is finalized and executed, a copy of the definitive Quality Agreement shall be attached hereto as Exhibit C to this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Quality Agreement, the terms of the Quality Agreement shall control.

     3.9 Change of Supplier or Facility. BMS may in its sole discretion upon [***] ([***]) [***] written notice to Cadence change the manufacturing facility used in the manufacturing of the Clinical Testing Products (the “Facility” ).

     3.10 Recalls. Each Party shall notify the other by telephone within [***] ([***]) [***] after receiving any information, request or directive giving rise to a good faith belief that a recall of any Clinical Testing Product is required under Applicable Law or is otherwise necessary to avoid risk of injury or liability. In the event that a Drug Regulatory Authority in the Territory issues or requests a recall or takes similar action in connection with the Clinical Testing Products, or in the event that either Party in good faith, believes that a recall is required under Applicable Law or is otherwise necessary to avoid risk of injury or liability, it may initiate a recall by providing written notice thereof to the other Party specifying in reasonable detail, the nature of the recall and the affected products. Within [***] ([***]) Business Days following such written notification (or sooner if exigent circumstances exist or otherwise are required in order to comply with Applicable Law), the Parties shall discuss the circumstances giving rise to such notification and the content of such notification, and, if so required, the timing and breadth of the recall, the customers to which the recall shall extend, the strategies and notifications to be used, and other related issues.

Each Party shall provide full cooperation and assistance to the other Party in connection with any recall as may be reasonably requested by the other Party. In the event that the Parties cannot agree on any such decision regarding the manner of a recall and such recall relates solely to a failure of BMS and its Affiliates to manufacture the Clinical Testing Product in accordance with Applicable Law or the Specifications, the issue shall be resolved by BMS in good faith. In the event that the Parties cannot agree on any such decision regarding the manner of a recall and such recall relates to a matter other than a failure of BMS and its Affiliates to manufacture the Clinical Testing Product in accordance with Applicable Law or the Specifications, the issue shall be resolved by Cadence in good faith. Cadence shall be responsible for collecting and shipping any recalled Clinical Testing Product to a location determined by BMS. BMS shall be responsible for disposing of any recalled Clinical Testing Product in accordance with Applicable Law. The costs of the recall (including all costs of collecting, shipping and disposing of the recalled Clinical Testing Product) shall be borne by Cadence, except that such costs shall be borne by BMS to the extent it results from a breach of any of BMS’s representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement.

PROMISE OR SAMPLE OR MODEL; AND ALL SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED.

     3.12 Force Majeure. No Party shall be considered to be in breach of, nor shall any Party be liable for any failure to perform its obligations under, this Agreement (other than obligations to make payments of money) by reason of Force Majeure. A Party affected by Force Majeure shall give the other Party prompt notice of any interruption of performance on account of Force Majeure, and of the resumption of such performance, and shall keep the other Party informed on a current basis as to the steps being taken to remove, and the anticipated time of removal of, the circumstances resulting in such Force Majeure.
