Within [***] days after the end of each Year, Patheon will prepare an annual reconciliation of Active Materials on the reconciliation report form set forth in Exhibit C (the “Reconciliation Report”) including the calculation of the “Actual Annual Yield” or “AAY” for the Product at the Manufacturing Site during the Year. AAY is the percentage of the Quantity Dispensed that was converted to Products and is calculated as follows:
[***]
After Patheon has produced [***] of Product and [***] at the Manufacturing Site (collectively, the “Target Yield Determination Batches”), the parties will agree on the target yield for the Product at the Manufacturing Site (each, a “Target Yield”). The Target Yield will be revised [***] to reflect the actual manufacturing experience as agreed to by the parties in writing in [***] for the next Year.
In addition to the annual Reconciliation Report described above, within [***] days after the end of each of the first three quarters in a Year, Patheon will provide to Client a Reconciliation Report that includes a calculation of the AAY-to-date for the then current Year.
| (b) | Shortfall Calculation. If the Actual Annual Yield falls more than [***] below the respective Target Yield in a Year, then the shortfall for the Year (the “Shortfall”) will be calculated as follows: |
[***]
| (c) | Surplus Calculation. If the Actual Annual Yield is more than the respective Target Yield in a Year, then the surplus for that Year (the “Surplus”) will be determined based on the following calculation: |
[***]
(d)Credits.
| (i) | Shortfall Credit. If there is a Shortfall for a Product in a Year, then Patheon will credit Client’s account for the amount of the Shortfall not later than [***] days after the end of each Year. |
| (ii) | Surplus Credit. If there is a Surplus for a Product in a Year, then Patheon will be entitled to apply the amount of the Surplus as a credit against any Shortfall for that Product which may occur in the next Year. If there is no Shortfall in the next Year the Surplus credit will expire. |
Each credit under this Section 2.2 will be summarized on the reconciliation report prepared in the form set forth in Exhibit C. Upon expiration or termination of a Product Agreement, any remaining Shortfall credit amount owing under this Section 2.2 will be paid to Client within [***] days.

| (e) | Maximum Credit. Patheon's liability for Active Materials calculated in accordance with this Section 2.2 for any Product in a Year will not exceed, in the aggregate, the Maximum Credit Value set forth in Schedule D to a Product Agreement. |
| (f) | No Material Breach. It will not be a material breach of this Agreement by Patheon under Section 8.2(a) solely as a result of the Actual Annual Yield being less than the Target Yield (except to the extent caused by a material breach of other provisions of this Agreement, the Quality Agreement, or the applicable Product Agreement). |
2.3Continuous Improvement.
| (a) | Patheon will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure continuous improvements of the processing performance for the Product at the Manufacturing Site in order to ensure efficient production, thereby generating potential savings that could be shared equally with Client through a reduction in the Price (“Continuous Improvements”). Client may assist Patheon in its activities to generate and develop efficiency improvement and cost reduction ideas, new concepts and measures for implementation at the Manufacturing Site. This assistance may include audits, evaluation of joint engineering practices, new technologies and/or new manufacturing and supply chain management methods. Patheon will use commercially reasonable efforts to make available sufficient resources to generate, develop and implement the Continuous Improvements. Client will reimburse Patheon the reasonable costs incurred by Patheon in carrying out the requested activities if the activities were pre-approved by Client in writing. The parties will form a Continuous Improvement Team (the “Continuous Improvement Team”) with members of both parties which will regularly meet and discuss continuous improvement matters. The parties agree that Client Licensees may participate in the Continuous Improvement Team. The parties will conduct an annual Continuous Improvement Team Meeting where (i) Patheon will inform Client about its annual continuous improvement and best practices goals and strategies in terms of potential savings and any potential reduction in the Price, and (ii) the parties will agree on the allocation of costs required in implementing any Continuous Improvement efforts, in accordance with Section 4.2(d). |

CLIENT’S OBLIGATIONS
3.1Payment.
Client will pay Patheon for performing the Manufacturing Services according to the Price specified in Schedules B and C in a Product Agreement. The Price may be subject to adjustment under other parts of this Agreement.
3.2Active Materials and Qualification of Additional Sources of Supply.
| (a) | Client will at its sole cost and expense deliver the Active Materials to Patheon in accordance with Section 2.1(f). If applicable, Patheon and Client will reasonably cooperate to permit the import of the Active Materials to the Manufacturing Site. Client’s obligation will include obtaining the proper release of the Active Materials from the applicable Customs Agency and Regulatory Authority. Client or Client’s designated broker will be the |
- 17 -
Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
| “Importer of Record” for Active Materials imported to the Manufacturing Site. The Active Materials will be held by Patheon on behalf of Client as set forth in this Agreement. Title to the Active Materials will at all times remain the property of Client. Any Active Materials received by Patheon will only be used by Patheon to perform the Manufacturing Services. Client will be responsible for paying for all rejected Product that arises from defects in the Active Materials which could not be reasonably discoverable by Patheon using the test methods set forth in the Specifications or otherwise required under this Agreement, the Quality Agreement or the applicable Product Agreement. Patheon will inspect the Active Material and give Client notice of non-conformity prior to using the Active Materials in Manufacturing. If Patheon does not notify Client of non-conformity prior to using the Active Materials in Manufacturing, then the Active Material delivered will be deemed accepted by Patheon. Patheon will follow Client’s request to return or dispose of defective Active Materials, (i) at Patheon’s cost if the non-conformity has been caused by Patheon or (ii) at Client’s cost in any other case. |
| (b) | If Client asks Patheon to qualify an additional source for the Active Material or any Component, Patheon will evaluate the Active Material or Component to be supplied by the additional source to determine if it is suitable for use in the Product (a “Suitability Evaluation”). The parties will agree on the scope of work to be performed under a Suitability Evaluation by Patheon at Client’s cost. For an Active Material, a Suitability Evaluation will include: (i) laboratory testing to confirm the Active Material meets existing Specifications; (ii) manufacture of an experimental Batch of Product that will be placed on three months accelerated stability; and (iii) manufacture of three full-scale validation Batches that will be placed on concurrent stability (one Batch may be the registration Batch if manufactured at full scale). Upon completion of a Suitability Evaluation, Patheon will not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the applicable additional source. Section 6.1(d) will apply to all Products manufactured using the newly approved Active Material or Component because of the limited material characterization that is performed on additional sources of supply. |
| (c) | Patheon will promptly advise Client if it encounters supply problems, including delays and/or delivery of non-conforming Active Material or Components from a Client designated additional source. Patheon and Client will cooperate to reduce or eliminate any supply problems from these additional sources of supply. |

Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
4.2Price Adjustments – Subsequent Years’ Pricing.
After the [***] of the Product Agreement, Patheon may adjust the Price effective January 1st of each Year as follows:
| (a) | Manufacturing and Stability Testing Costs. For Products manufactured in the United States or Puerto Rico, Patheon may adjust the conversion component of the Price and the annual stability testing costs for inflation, based upon the preliminary number for any increase in the Producer Price Index pcu325412325412 for Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing (“PPI”) published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics in June of the preceding Year compared to the final number for the same month of the Year prior to that (based on the average of the monthly changes over the 12-month period), unless the parties otherwise agree in writing. Patheon will give Client a statement setting forth the calculation for the inflation adjustment to be applied in calculating the Price for the next Year. For Products manufactured outside the United States or Puerto Rico, Patheon may similarly adjust the Price for inflation using an inflation index to be agreed by the parties in a Product Agreement. |
| (b) | Component Costs. If Patheon incurs an increase or decrease in Component costs during the Year, it may [***]. Patheon will give Client information about the increase or decrease in Component costs which will be applied to the calculation of the Price for the next Year to reasonably demonstrate that the Price increase or decrease is justified. |
| (c) | Due to Currency Fluctuations. If the parties agree in a Product Agreement to invoice in a currency other than the local currency for the Manufacturing Site, Patheon will adjust the Price to reflect currency fluctuations. The adjustment will proportionately reflect the increase or decrease, if any, in the Set Exchange Rate compared to the Set Exchange Rate established for the prior Year or the Initial Set Exchange Rate, as the case may be. An example of the calculation of the price adjustment (for a Canadian Manufacturing Site invoiced in USD) is set forth in Exhibit D. |
| (d) | Due to Continuous Improvements. The Price will be reduced to reflect process savings resulting from initiatives implemented under Section 2.3(a), with the net Price reduction [***]. The Price reduction will occur [***]. |
| (e) | For all Price adjustments under this Section 4.2, Patheon will deliver to Client on or about [***] of each Year a revised Schedule B to the Product Agreement to be effective for Product delivered on or after the first day of the next Year. If in any Year Patheon [***]. [***]. |

Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
4.3Price Adjustments – Current Year Pricing.
During any Year, the Prices set out in Schedule B of a Product Agreement will be adjusted as follows:
Extraordinary Increases in Component Costs. If, at any time, market conditions result in Patheon’s cost of Components being materially greater than normal forecasted increases, then Patheon will be entitled to adjust the Price for any affected Product to compensate it for the increased Component costs. Changes materially greater than normal forecasted increases will have occurred if: (i) the cost of a Component increases by [***] of the cost for that Component upon which the most recent Price or fee quote was based; or (ii) the aggregate cost for all Components required to manufacture a Product increases by [***] of the total Component costs for the Product upon which the most recent fee quote was based. If Component costs have been previously adjusted to reflect an increase in the cost of one or more Components, the adjustments set out in (i) and (ii) above will operate based on the last cost adjustment for the Components. For a Price adjustment under this Section 4.3, Patheon will deliver to Client a revised Schedule B to the Product Agreement and budgetary pricing information, adjusted Component costs or other documents reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that a Price adjustment is justified. Patheon will have no obligation to deliver any supporting documents that are subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers. The revised Price will be effective for any Product delivered on or after the first day of the month following Client’s receipt of the revised Schedule B to the Product Agreement.
4.4Adjustments Due to Technical Changes or Regulatory Authority Requirements.
Amendments to the Specifications or the Quality Agreement requested by Client will be implemented only following a technical and cost review that Patheon will perform at Client’s cost and are subject to Client and Patheon reaching agreement on Price increases or decreases required because of the amendment. Amendments to the Specifications, the Quality Agreement, or the Manufacturing Site requested by Patheon will only be implemented following the written approval of Client, the approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Client accepts a proposed Price change, the proposed change in the Specifications or the Quality Agreement and the associated scope of work will be implemented at Client’s cost, and the Price change will become effective, only for those orders of Product that are manufactured under the revised Specifications. In addition, Client agrees to purchase, at the price paid by Patheon (including all costs incurred by Patheon for the purchase, handling, and transport of the Inventory), all Inventory held under the “old” Specifications and purchased or maintained by Patheon in order to fill Firm Orders or under Section 5.2, if the Inventory can no longer be used under the revised Specifications. Open purchase orders for Components no longer required under any revised Specifications that were placed by Patheon with suppliers in order to fill Firm Orders or under Section 5.2 will be cancelled where possible, but if the orders may not be cancelled without penalty, they will be assigned to and paid for by Client. [***].
4.5Multi-Country Packaging Requirements.
If Client decides to have Patheon perform Manufacturing Services for the Product for countries outside the Territory, then Client will inform Patheon of the packaging requirements for each new country and Patheon will prepare a quotation for consideration by Client of any additional costs for Components (other than Client-Supplied Components) and the change-over fees for the Product destined for each new country. The agreed additional packaging requirements and related packaging costs and change over fees will be set out in a written amendment to this Agreement.

ORDERS, SHIPMENT, INVOICING, PAYMENT
5.1Orders and Forecasts.
| (a) | Long Term Forecast. When each Product Agreement is executed, Client will give Patheon a non-binding [***]-year forecast of Client’s volume requirements for the Product for each Year during the term of the Product Agreement (the “Long Term Forecast”). The Long Term Forecast will thereafter be updated each Year on June 1 during the Initial Product Term. If Patheon is unable to accommodate any portion of the Long Term Forecast, it will notify Client within [***] days of receiving the Long Term Forecast or any update and the parties will agree on any revisions to the forecast. |
| (b) | Rolling 12 Month Forecast. When each Product Agreement is executed, Client will give Patheon a 12 month forecast of the volume of Product that Client expects to order in the first 12 months of commercial manufacture of the Product (the “Initial Annual Forecast”). On a rolling monthly basis during the term of the Product Agreement, Client will issue an updated 12 month forecast on or before the tenth day of each month (the Initial Annual Forecast and each updated 12 month forecast are an “Annual Forecast”). Each Annual Forecast after the Initial Forecast will start on the first day of the month immediately following the date on which the Annual Forecast is to be provided. This forecast will then be updated by Client once every month on a rolling forward basis. These forecasts should be reasonably consistent with the Long Term Forecast. The 12 month forecast will be binding on both parties as follows: |
| (i) | the Product volumes forecasted during the first [***] months of the then-current Annual Forecast may only be changed by written agreement between the parties; |
| (ii) | the Product volumes forecasted during months [***] of the then-current Annual Forecast may be adjusted by Client by up to [***] of the Product volumes forecasted by Client under Section 5.1(b)(i); and |
| (iii) | the Products forecasted during months [***] of the then-current Annual Forecast may be adjusted by Client by up to [***] of the Product volumes forecasted by Client under Section 5.1(b)(i). |
| (c) | Firm Orders. |
| (i) | Concurrent with the delivery of the then-current Annual Forecast, Client will issue a new firm written order in the form of a purchase order (specifying the Delivery Date that is at least [***] days after the date of the applicable purchase order) (“Firm Order”) for Client’s purchase of the Products for the next [***] months (unless a Firm Order has been issued under Section 5(c)(ii) for the next [***] months) and, when accepted by Patheon as specified below, for Patheon to manufacture and deliver the agreed quantity of the Products. |
- 21 -
Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
| (ii) | Client may also submit Firm Orders to Patheon concurrently with or separately from the delivery of any Annual Forecast for Products forecasted by Client in the last nine months of the then-current Annual Forecast. Firm Orders submitted to Patheon will specify Client’s purchase order number, quantities by Product type, delivery date, delivery location, and other information specified in the applicable Product Agreement. The quantities of Products ordered and Delivery Dates in those Firm Orders will be firm and binding on Client and Patheon (unless rejected under Section 5.1(d)) and may not be reduced by Client except as expressly permitted in this Agreement or the applicable Product Agreement. Expedited Firm Orders will be subject to additional fees as agreed in writing by the parties. |
| (d) | Acceptance of Firm Order. Patheon will accept Firm Orders by sending a written confirmation to Client within [***] Business Days of its receipt of the Firm Order. The confirmation will include the Delivery Date for the Product ordered. The Delivery Date may be amended by agreement of the parties or as set forth in Section 2.1(f). If Patheon fails to acknowledge receipt of or reject a Firm Order within the [***] Business Day period, the Firm Order will be considered to have been accepted by Patheon. Patheon may not reject a Firm Order other than on the basis of (i) a failure by Client to include the information required to be provided in the Firm Order under this Section or the applicable Product Agreement; or (ii) a Firm Order that imposes requirements that conflict with this Agreement or the applicable Product Agreement. Patheon will include in any rejection a reasonable explanation of the basis for the rejection. |
5.2Reliance by Patheon.
(a)Client understands and acknowledges that Patheon will rely on the Firm Orders and rolling forecasts submitted under Section 5.1 in ordering the Components (other than Client-Supplied Components) required to meet the Firm Orders. In addition, Client understands that to ensure an orderly supply of the Components, Patheon may want to purchase the Components in sufficient volumes to meet the production requirements for Products during part or all of the forecasted periods referred to in Section 5.1 or to meet the production requirements of any longer period agreed to by Patheon and Client. Accordingly, Client authorizes Patheon to purchase Components to satisfy the Manufacturing Services requirements for Products for the first [***] months contemplated in the most recent Annual Forecast given by Client under Section 5.1(b). Patheon may make other purchases of Components to meet Manufacturing Services requirements for longer periods if agreed to in writing by the parties. Client will give Patheon written authorization to order Components for any launch quantities of Product requested by Client which will be considered a Firm Order when accepted by Patheon.
(b)Client will reimburse Patheon for the cost of Components ordered by Patheon under Firm Orders in accordance with this Section 5.2 if the Components have expired or are rendered obsolete due to changes in applicable regulations during the period prior to Manufacturing (collectively, “Obsolete Stock”). This reimbursement will include Patheon’s reasonable and documented out of pocket cost of purchasing and destroying or returning the Obsolete Stock. If any non-expired Components are used in Products subsequently manufactured for Client or in third party products manufactured by Patheon, Client will receive credit for any costs of those Components previously paid to Patheon by Client.
(c)If Client fails to take possession or arrange for the destruction of non-expired Components within [***] months of purchase or, in the case of the delivery of conforming finished Product not accepted to be shipped to Client within one month of release, Client will pay Patheon [***] per pallet, per month

(c)If Patheon anticipates to be unable to deliver the Product to Client in accordance with a confirmed Firm Order for whatever reason, Patheon will immediately inform Client thereof, and without prejudice to any of Clients rights under this Agreement, the parties will agree on the necessary arrangements for minimizing the possible loss and damage which Client may suffer from the delay in delivery. Any deviation from a Delivery Date already set forth in a confirmed Firm Order is subject to Client’s prior approval. If Client provides this approval, Client will have no claims against Patheon as a result of the rescheduled Delivery Date. If Patheon does not Deliver the Products ordered by means of a confirmed Firm Order (for any reason other than as a result of Force Majeure Event), Patheon will promptly notify Client about the reasons for delay.
5.5Liquidated Damages For Late Delivery.
If Patheon is unable to deliver the Product to Client in accordance with the terms of a Firm Order due to an act or omission by Patheon or any of its agents or suppliers (a “Late Delivery”), Patheon will pay liquidated damages to Client as follows:
| (a) | if Product delivery occurs [***] days after the applicable Delivery Date, Patheon pays [***]; |
| (b) | if Product delivery occurs [***] days after the applicable Delivery Date, Patheon reimburses to Client [***] of the cost to Client of the applicable Firm Order; |

PRODUCT CLAIMS AND RECALLS
6.1Product Claims.
(a)Product Claims. Client has the right to reject any portion of any shipment of Product that was not manufactured in accordance with the Specifications, the Marketing Authorisation Dossier (“MAD”), Manufacturing Batch record (“MBR”), cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, without invalidating any remainder of the shipment. Client will inspect the Product manufactured by Patheon upon receipt and will give Patheon written notice (a “Deficiency Notice”) of all claims for Product that was not manufactured in accordance with the Specifications, MAD or MBR, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, within [***] days after Client’s receipt thereof (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, within [***] days after discovery by Client, but not after the expiration date of the Product). If Client fails to give Patheon the Deficiency Notice within the applicable [***] day period, then the delivery will be considered to have been accepted by Client on the [***] day after delivery or discovery, as applicable. Patheon will have no liability for any deficiency for which it has not received notice within the applicable [***] day period.
- 24 -
Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
(b)Determination of Deficiency. Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Patheon will have [***] days to advise Client by notice in writing that it disagrees with the contents of the Deficiency Notice. If Client and Patheon fail to agree within [***] days after Patheon’s notice to Client as to whether any Product identified in the Deficiency Notice was not manufactured in accordance with the Specifications, MAD or MBR, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, the parties will proceed as follows: (i) if the issue is believed to be caused by a raw material deficiency, laboratory error or a suspect analytical method, representatives from both parties will jointly test the Product and/or materials side by side in the same laboratory to determine if a raw material or testing deficiency is the root cause and whether the Product and/or materials is acceptable; or (ii) if the issue is believed to be process related, representatives from both parties will jointly evaluate the Patheon deviation report to determine if any other investigation could identify the root cause and proceed as determined. If, after the joint testing or investigation has been performed, the parties still cannot agree on the root cause, the parties will engage an independent third party to perform testing and investigation to resolve the deficiency and liability issues and agree to accept the independent third party’s determination. If any aspect of the third party testing and investigation proves inconclusive, executives from both parties will meet and use good faith efforts to resolve any remaining deficiency and liability issues. If the parties’ executives are unable to resolve the dispute within [***] days, the dispute will be handled as a Technical Dispute under Section 12.2.
(c)Shortages and Price Disputes. Claims for shortages in the amount of Product shipped by Patheon or a Price dispute will be dealt with by reasonable agreement of the parties. Any claim for a shortage or a Price dispute will be deemed waived if it has not been presented within [***] days of the date of invoice.
(d)Product Rejection for Finished Product Specification Failure. Internal process specifications will be defined and agreed upon. If after a full investigation as set forth in Section 6.1(b), it is determined that Patheon manufactured Product in accordance with the agreed upon process specifications, the batch production record, and Patheon’s standard operating procedures for manufacturing, and a batch or portion of batch of Product does not meet a finished Product specification, Client will [***]. [***]. Patheon will [***]. Patheon’s responsibility for any loss of API in this defective Product will be captured and calculated in the Active Materials Yield under Section 2.2.
6.2Product Recalls and Returns.
(a)Records and Notice. Patheon and Client will each maintain records necessary to permit a Recall of any Product delivered to Client or customers of Client. Each party will promptly notify the other by telephone (to be confirmed in writing) of any information which might affect the marketability, safety or effectiveness of the Product or which might result in the Recall or seizure of the Product. Upon receiving this notice or upon this discovery, each party will confirm which Product batches in its possession or control, as applicable, are likely to be non-conforming and stop making any further shipments of any Product batch in its possession or control that is likely to be non-conforming until a decision has been made whether a Recall or some other corrective action is necessary. The decision to initiate a Recall or to take some other corrective action, if any, will be made and implemented by Client. “Recall” will mean any action (i) by Client to recover title to or possession of quantities of the Product sold or shipped to third parties (including, without limitation, the voluntary withdrawal of Product from the market); or (ii) by any regulatory authorities to detain or destroy any of the Product. Recall will also include any action by either party to refrain from selling or shipping quantities of the Product to third parties which would be subject to a Recall if sold or shipped.
- 25 -
Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
(b)Recalls. If (i) any Regulatory Authority issues a directive, order or, following the issuance of a safety warning or alert about a Product, a written request that any Product be Recalled, (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction orders a Recall, or (iii) Client determines that any Product should be Recalled or that a “Dear Doctor” letter is required relating the restrictions on the use of any Product, Patheon will co-operate as reasonably required by Client, having regard to all applicable laws and regulations.
(c)Product Returns. Client will have the responsibility for handling customer returns of the Product. Patheon will give Client any assistance that Client may reasonably require to handle the returns.
6.3Patheon’s Responsibility for Defective and Recalled Products.
(a)Defective Product. If Client rejects Product under Section 6.1 and the deficiency is determined to have arisen from Patheon’s failure to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs or Applicable Laws, Patheon will credit Client’s account for Patheon’s invoice price for the defective Product. If Client previously paid for the defective Product, [***]. For greater certainty, Patheon’s responsibility for any loss of Active Materials in defective Product will be captured and calculated in the Active Materials Yield under Section 2.2.
(b)Recalled Product. If a Recall or return results from, or arises out of, a failure by Patheon to perform the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, Patheon will be responsible for the documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Recall or return and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to replace the Recalled or returned Products with new Products contingent upon the receipt from Client of all Active Materials and Client-Supplied Components required for the manufacture of the replacement Products. For greater certainty, Patheon’s responsibility for any loss of Active Materials in Recalled Product will be captured and calculated in the Active Materials Yield under Section 2.2. If Patheon is unable to replace the Recalled or returned Products (except where this inability results from a failure to receive the required Active Materials and Client-Supplied Components), then Client may request Patheon to reimburse Client for the price that Client paid to Patheon for Manufacturing Services for the affected Products. In all other circumstances, Recalls, returns, or other corrective actions will be made at Client’s cost and expense.
(c)Except as set forth in [***], Patheon will not be liable to Client nor have any responsibility to Client for any deficiencies in, or other liabilities associated with, any Product manufactured by it (collectively, “Product Claims”) to the extent the Product Claim (i) is caused by deficiencies in the Specifications, including the safety, efficacy, or marketability of the Product or any distribution thereof, (ii) results from a defect in a Component that is not reasonably discoverable by Patheon using the test methods set forth in the then-current Specifications associated with the applicable Component in the performance of the Manufacturing Services, (iii) results from a defect in the Active Materials, Client-Supplied Components or Components supplied by a Client designated additional source that is not reasonably discoverable by Patheon using the test methods set forth in the then-current Specifications (or as part of additional services required under Section 2.1(h)) or required under the Quality Agreement, (iv) is caused by actions of Client or third parties occurring after the Product is shipped by Patheon under Section 5.4, (v) is due to packaging design or labelling defects or omissions for which Patheon has no responsibility, or (vi) is due to any other breach by Client of its obligations under this Agreement.
(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, [***] in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The quantity of API contained in this Product will be included in the Quantity Dispensed but not in the Quantity Converted for purposes of calculating the Shortfall in Section 2.2(b).

Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
6.4Disposition of Defective or Recalled Products.
Client will not dispose of any damaged, defective, returned, or Recalled Products for which it intends to assert a claim against Patheon without Patheon’s prior written authorization to do so. Alternatively, Patheon may instruct Client within [***] days after determination of the Products being defective to return the Products to Patheon. Patheon will bear the cost of disposition for any damaged, defective, returned or Recalled Products for which it bears responsibility under Section 6.3. In all other circumstances, Client will bear the cost of disposition, including all applicable fees for Manufacturing Services, for any damaged, defective, returned, or Recalled Products.
6.5Healthcare Provider or Patient Questions and Complaints.
Client will have the sole responsibility for responding to questions and complaints from its customers.

ARTICLE 12
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
12.1Commercial Disputes.
If any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any Product Agreement (other than a dispute under Section 6.1(b) or a Technical Dispute, as defined herein), the parties will first try to resolve it amicably. In that regard, any party may send a notice of dispute to the other, and each party will appoint, within [***] Business Days from receipt of the notice of dispute, a single representative having full power and authority to resolve the dispute. The representatives will meet as necessary in order to resolve the dispute. If the representatives fail to resolve the matter within [***] month from their appointment, or if a party fails to appoint a representative within the [***] Business Day period set forth above, the dispute will immediately be referred to the Chief Business Officer (or another officer as he/she may designate) of each party who will meet and discuss as necessary to try to resolve the dispute amicably. Should the parties fail to reach a resolution under this Section 12.1, the dispute will be referred to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 13.17.
12.2Technical Dispute Resolution.
If a dispute arises (other than disputes under Section 12.1) between the parties that is exclusively related to technical aspects of the manufacturing, packaging, labelling, quality control testing, handling, storage, or other activities under this Agreement (a “Technical Dispute”), the parties will make all reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute by amicable negotiations. In that regard, senior representatives of each party will, as soon as possible and in any event no later than [***] Business Days after a written request from either party to the other, meet in good faith to resolve any Technical Dispute. If, despite this meeting, the parties are unable to resolve a Technical Dispute within a reasonable time, and in any event within [***] Business Days of the written request, the Technical Dispute will, at the request of either party, be referred for determination to an expert in accordance with Exhibit A. If the parties cannot agree that a dispute is a Technical Dispute, Section 12.1 will prevail. For greater certainty, the parties agree that the release of the Products for sale or distribution under the applicable marketing approval for the Products will
- 38 -
Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
not by itself indicate compliance by Patheon with its obligations for the Manufacturing Services and further that nothing in this Agreement (including Exhibit A) will remove or limit the authority of the relevant qualified person (as specified by the Quality Agreement) to determine whether the Products are to be released for sale or distribution.

certificate of insurance evidencing the above and showing the name of the issuing company, the policy number, the effective date, the expiration date, and the limits of liability. The insurance certificate will further provide for a minimum of [***] days’ written notice to the insured of a cancellation of, or material change in, the insurance. If a party is unable to maintain the insurance policies required under this Agreement through no fault of its own, then the party will forthwith notify the other party in writing and the parties will in good faith negotiate appropriate amendments to the insurance provision of this Agreement in order to provide adequate assurances.
13.4Independent Contractors.
The parties are independent contractors and this Agreement and any Product Agreement will not be construed to create between Patheon and Client any other relationship such as, by way of example only, that of employer-employee, principal agent, joint-venturer, co-partners, or any similar relationship, the existence of which is expressly denied by the parties.
13.5No Waiver.
Neither party’s failure to require the other party to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Product Agreement will be deemed a waiver of the provision or any other provision of this Agreement or any Product Agreement, with the exception of Sections 6.1 and 8.2 of this Agreement.
13.6Assignment and Subcontracting.
| (a) | Patheon may not assign this Agreement or any Product Agreement or assign, delegate or subcontract any of its associated rights or obligations without the written consent of Client, this consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Further it is specifically agreed that Patheon may not subcontract any part of the Manufacturing Services under a Product Agreement to any of its Affiliates without Client’s prior consent. Patheon will remain solely liable to Client for its obligations, and for the obligations of the applicable Affiliates and subcontractors of Patheon under this Agreement, any applicable Product Agreement, and the Quality Agreement, if the Manufacturing Services are subcontracted. |
| (b) | Subject to Section 8.2(e), Client may assign this Agreement or any Product Agreement or any of its associated rights or obligations without approval from Patheon, but Client will give Patheon prior written notice of any assignment, any assignee will covenant in writing with Patheon to be bound by the terms of this Agreement or the Product Agreement, and Client will remain liable hereunder. Any partial assignment will be subject to Patheon’s cost review of the assigned Products and Patheon may terminate this Agreement or any Product Agreement or any assigned part thereof, on [***] months’ prior written notice to Client and the assignee if good faith discussions do not lead to agreement on amended Manufacturing Service fees within a reasonable time. Client will reimburse Patheon for any costs incurred by Patheon in connection with the partial assignment including any expenses incurred by Patheon for any due diligence audits in connection with the partial assignment. |
| (c) | Despite the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.6, either party may assign this Agreement or any Product Agreement to any of its Affiliates or to a successor to or purchaser of all or substantially all of its business, but the assignee must execute an agreement with the non-assigning party whereby it agrees to be bound hereunder. |

Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
13.7Force Majeure.
Neither party will be liable for the failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Product Agreement if the failure is caused by an event beyond that party’s reasonable control, including, but not limited to, strikes or other labor disturbances at a third party supplier, lockouts, inability to obtain fuel or power, quarantines, communicable disease outbreaks, wars, acts of terrorism, fires, floods, or storms (a “Force Majeure Event”). A party claiming a right to excused performance under this Section 13.7 will immediately notify the other party in writing of the extent of its inability to perform, which notice will specify the event beyond its reasonable control that prevents the performance, and will use all reasonable efforts to mitigate and recover from the effects of the Force Majeure Event as promptly as possible. Neither party will be entitled to rely on a Force Majeure Event to relieve it from an obligation to pay money (including any interest for delayed payment) which would otherwise be due and payable under this Agreement or any Product Agreement.
13.8Additional Product.
Additional Products may be added to, or existing Products deleted from, any Product Agreement by amendments to the Product Agreement including Schedules A, B, C, and D as applicable.
13.9Notices.

13.10Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or any Product Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, that determination will not impair or affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remaining provisions, because each provision is separate, severable, and distinct.
13.11Entire Agreement.
This Agreement, together with the applicable Product Agreement and the Quality Agreement, constitutes the full, complete, final and integrated agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous written or oral negotiations, commitments, agreements, transactions, or understandings concerning the subject matter hereof. Any modification, amendment, or supplement to this Agreement or any Product Agreement must be in writing and signed by authorized representatives of both parties. In case of conflict, the prevailing order of documents will be this Agreement, the Product Agreement, and the Quality Agreement.

Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
13.13No Third Party Benefit or Right.
For greater certainty, nothing in this Agreement or any Product Agreement will confer or be construed as conferring on any third party any benefit or the right to enforce any express or implied term of this Agreement or any Product Agreement.
13.14Execution in Counterparts.
This Agreement and any Product Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, by original, facsimile or “pdf” signature, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
13.15Use of Client Name.
Patheon will not make any use of Client’s name, trademarks or logo or any variations thereof, alone or with any other word or words, without the prior written consent of Client, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Despite this, Client agrees that Patheon may include Client’s name and logo in customer lists or related marketing and promotional material for the purpose of identifying users of Patheon’s Manufacturing Services.
13.16Taxes.
(a)Client will bear all taxes, duties, levies and similar charges (and any related interest and penalties) (“Tax” or “Taxes”), however designated, imposed as a result of the provision by the Patheon of Services under this Agreement, except:
| (i) | any Tax based on net income or gross income that is imposed on Patheon by its jurisdiction of formation or incorporation (“Resident Jurisdiction”); |
| (i) | any Tax based on net income or gross income that is imposed on Patheon by jurisdictions other than its Resident Jurisdiction if this tax is based on a permanent establishment of Patheon; and |
| (ii) | any Tax that is recoverable by Patheon in the ordinary course of business for purchases made by Patheon in the course of providing its Services, such as Value Added Tax (as more fully defined in subparagraph (d) below), Goods & Services Tax (“GST”) and similar taxes. |
(b)If Client is required to bear a tax, duty, levy or similar charge under this Agreement by any state, federal, provincial or foreign government, including, but not limited to, Value Added Tax, Client will pay the tax, duty, levy or similar charge and any additional amounts to the appropriate taxing authority as are necessary to ensure that the net amounts received by Patheon hereunder after these payments or withholdings equal the amounts to which Patheon is otherwise entitled under this Agreement as if the tax, duty, levy or similar charge did not exist.
(c)Patheon will not collect an otherwise applicable tax if Client’s purchase is exempt from Patheon’s collection of the tax and a valid tax exemption certificate is furnished by Client to Patheon.
- 43 -
Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
(d)If Section 13.16(a)(iii) does not apply, any payment due under this Agreement for the provision of Services to Client by Patheon is exclusive of value added taxes, turnover taxes, sales taxes or similar taxes, including any related interest and penalties (hereinafter all referred to as “VAT”). If any VAT is payable on a Service supplied by Patheon to Client under this Agreement, this VAT will be added to the invoice amount and will be for the account of (and reimbursable to Patheon by) Client. If VAT on the supplies of Patheon is payable by Client under a reverse charge procedure (i.e., shifting of liability, accounting or payment requirement to recipient of supplies), Client will ensure that Patheon will not effectively be held liable for this VAT by the relevant taxing authorities or other parties. Where applicable, Patheon will use its reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that its invoices to Client are issued in such a way that these invoices meet the requirements for deduction of input VAT by Client, if Client is permitted by law to do so.
(e)Any Tax that Client pays, or is required to pay, but which Client believes should properly be paid by Patheon pursuant hereto may not be offset against sums due by Client to Patheon whether due pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. The parties will cooperate in accordance with Applicable Law to minimize any above mentioned indirect taxes, duty or similar charges incurred in connection with this Agreement.
13.17Prohibition of Corrupt Payment.
The parties commit to conduct their business at all times in a fair and lawful manner and agree to comply with applicable anti-bribery, anti-corruption, and anti-kickback laws and regulations as well as international anti-corruption standards, including but not limited to the Swiss Criminal Code, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“US FCPA”), the UK Bribery Act (“UK BA”), as amended, as well as similar applicable laws of each country where the parties have their principal places of business and where the parties conduct activities under this Agreement (together “Anti-Corruption Laws”).
The parties confirm that they have not, and that neither party nor any of its officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, nor any other party acting on their behalf will or seek to, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement influence directly or indirectly:
any Healthcare Professional,
any Public Official, or
any Other Covered Individual, as defined herein,
by offering, providing, authorizing, or promising, directly or indirectly any tangible or intangible benefit, discount, commission, rebate, free goods, bribe, kickback or other benefit including gifts, grants and donations (“Benefit”) to this person, or any person associated with or related to this person in order to secure any advantage that would unfairly or illegally benefit the party’s business or financial interests such as official decision-making or inducing someone to breach professional duties.
Furthermore, the parties confirm that they have not, and that neither the party nor any of its officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents will, directly or indirectly, seek, receive or obtain, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Benefit which is provided, offered, authorized or promised with the intention to induce the recipient to improperly perform a function or activity, or rewards the recipient for improperly performing a function or activity.
Patheon will keep, at all times, all books, records, and accounts in reasonable detail to accurately, clearly and fairly reflect all of the financial affairs of Patheon related to this Agreement and all items of income and expense and any services provided in connection with this Agreement according to any and all applicable laws, rules and regulations.
- 44 -
Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
Patheon represents and warrants that its books and records are complete and accurate, and that all records, information, and representations that it has provided to Client and will provide to Client in the future are and will be complete and accurate. Upon Client’s good faith, reasonable belief of, or a governmental investigation of, Patheon’s violation of Applicable Laws, upon written notice to Patheon, Client may engage an independent third party auditor to conduct an investigation and audit of Patheon’s books, records and accounts to verify compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. Patheon agrees to cooperate fully with the investigation, the scope, method, nature and duration of which will be at the reasonable discretion of the independent third party auditor.
Each party will be responsible for training its employees, agents and other representatives who are involved with the activities set forth in this Agreement on Anti-Corruption Laws.
Each party will report to the other party immediately any incident, event and information it learns of that may indicate that a violation of Anti-Corruption Laws has occurred in relation to this Agreement. If a governmental authority investigates either party as a result of that party’s potential violation of Anti-Corruption Laws, the other party will provide all necessary assistance to the investigated party to facilitate the investigated party’s compliance with the investigation.
Each party, if requested by the other party in writing, will certify, in writing and no more often than once a Year, that it has not engaged in and that to the best of its knowledge none of its officers, directors, employees, agents and other representatives has engaged in any violation of Anti-Corruption Laws.
For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions will apply:
“Healthcare Professional” will mean any person that is a member of the medical, dental, pharmacy or nursing professions or any other person who, in the course of his or her professional activities, may prescribe, purchase, supply, recommend or administer a medicinal product, including any official or employee of a government agency.
“Public Official” is any officer, agent or employee of a government or any department, agency, public enterprise or instrumentality thereof, or of a public international organization, or any person acting in an official capacity for or on behalf of any government or department, agency, or instrumentality, or for or on behalf of any public international organization, or any public official, political party, party official, candidate for public or political party office including Healthcare Professionals acting for or on behalf of a public healthcare organization or national health service.
“Other Covered Individual” is any individual who is not a Public Official or Healthcare Professional and who performs a function or activity connected with a business, in the course of a person’s employment, or on behalf of a company or another body of persons and who must not be unlawfully influenced in his or her decision-making in connection with the relevant function or activity, or induced to violate a lawful duty, or expectation of good faith performance, impartiality, or a position of trust, as this influence or inducement would result in a violation of applicable Anti-Corruption Laws or code of conduct of either party.
13.18Governing Law.
This Agreement and any Product Agreement or Quality Agreement will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the laws of the United States of America applicable therein and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts thereof. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A
TECHNICAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Technical Disputes which cannot be resolved by negotiation as provided in Section 12.2 will be resolved in the following manner:
1.Appointment of Expert. Within [***] Business Days after a party requests under Section 12.2 that an expert be appointed to resolve a Technical Dispute, the parties will jointly appoint a mutually acceptable expert with experience and expertise in the subject matter of the dispute. If the parties are unable to so agree within the [***] Business Day period, or if there is a disclosure of a conflict by an expert under Paragraph 2 hereof which results in the parties not confirming the appointment of the expert, then an expert (willing to act in that capacity hereunder) will be appointed by an experienced arbitrator on the roster of the American Arbitration Association.
2.Conflicts of Interest. Any person appointed as an expert will be entitled to act and continue to act as an expert even if at the time of his appointment or at any time before he gives his determination, he has or may have some interest or duty which conflicts or may conflict with his appointment if before accepting the appointment (or as soon as practicable after he becomes aware of the conflict or potential conflict) he fully discloses the interest or duty and the parties will, after the disclosure, have confirmed his appointment.
3.Not Arbitrator. No expert will be deemed to be an arbitrator and the provisions of the American Arbitration Act or of any other applicable statute (foreign or domestic) and the law relating to arbitration will not apply to the expert or the expert’s determination or the procedure by which the expert reaches his determination under this Exhibit A.
4.Procedure. Where an expert is appointed:
| (a) | Timing. The expert will be so appointed on condition that (i) he promptly fixes a reasonable time and place for receiving representations, submissions or information from the parties and that he issues the authorizations to the parties and any relevant third party for the proper conduct of his determination and any hearing and (ii) he renders his decision (with full reasons) within [***] Business Days (or another date as the parties and the expert may agree) after receipt of all information requested by him under Paragraph 4(b) hereof. |
| (b) | Disclosure of Evidence. The parties undertake one to the other to give to any expert all the evidence and information within their respective possession or control as the expert may reasonably consider necessary for determining the matter before him which they will disclose promptly and in any event within [***] Business Days of a written request from the relevant expert to do so. |
| (c) | Advisors. Each party may appoint any counsel, consultants and advisors as it feels appropriate to assist the expert in his determination and so as to present their respective cases so that at all times the parties will co-operate and seek to narrow and limit the issues to be determined. |
Master Manufacturing Services Agreement
| (d) | Appointment of New Expert. If within the time specified in Paragraph 4(a) above the expert will not have rendered a decision in accordance with his appointment, a new expert may (at the request of either party) be appointed and the appointment of the existing expert will thereupon cease for the purposes of determining the matter at issue between the parties except if the existing expert renders his decision with full reasons prior to the appointment of the new expert, then this decision will have effect and the proposed appointment of the new expert will be withdrawn. |
| (e) | Final and Binding. The determination of the expert will, except for fraud or manifest error, be final and binding upon the parties. |
| (f) | Costs. Each party will bear its own costs for any matter referred to an expert hereunder and, in the absence of express provision in the Agreement to the contrary, the costs and expenses of the expert will be shared equally by the parties. |
For greater certainty, the release of the Products for sale or distribution under the applicable marketing approval for the Products will not by itself indicate compliance by Patheon with its obligations for the Manufacturing Services and further that nothing in this Agreement (including this Exhibit A) will remove or limit the authority of the relevant qualified person (as specified by the Quality Agreement) to determine whether the Products are to be released for sale or distribution.
