Master Contract Services Agreement

Approved April 2011

MASTER CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS MASTER CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT (together with Appendix A and any Statement(s) of Work (as defined in Section 1), the “Agreement”) is made on September 26, 2013, (the “Effective Date”) by and between Civitas Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation with an office at 190 Everett Avenue, Chelsea, MA 02150 (“Civitas”) and Omega Plastics, Inc., a Michigan corporation with an office at 24401 Capital Blvd, Clinton Township, MI (“Service Provider”).

 

1. Agreement Structure. Omega Plastics is a manufacturing company and provides manufacturing services consistent with injection mold making, injection molding, and assembly of plastic components. From time to time, Civitas may want Service Provider to provide certain services (other than manufacturing and clinical development-related services) (“Services”). This Agreement contains general terms and conditions under which Civitas would engage Service Provider and under which Service Provider would provide Services. Civitas and Service Provider must complete and execute a work order, project order or statement of work referencing this Agreement (each, a “Statement of Work”) before any Services are provided. Each Statement of Work will include, at a minimum, the information relating to the specific Services outlined in the sample Statement of Work attached as Appendix A. However, neither Civitas nor Service Provider is obligated to accept or execute any Statement of Work. Only after being mutually agreed upon and executed, each Statement of Work becomes part of this Agreement, although the terms in a Statement of Work will apply only to Services described in that Statement of Work. A Statement of Work may not change any term in this Agreement unless mutually agreed upon.

 

2. About Services.

 

  2.1. Provision of Services. Service Provider agrees to provide all Services identified in any Statement of Work: (a) within the time period specified in the relevant Statement of Work; and (b) in accordance with the highest prevailing industry standards and practices for the performance of similar services. For each Statement of Work, Service Provider will designate a “Project Leader” who will be available for frequent communications with Civitas regarding Services provided under that Statement of Work, as well as contacts for administrative and payment matters for those Services. Civitas will designate a “Civitas Representative” who will be the point of contact for the Project Leader.

 

  2.2. Change Orders. If either party identifies a need to modify a Statement of Work, the identifying party will notify the other party in writing as soon as reasonably possible. Service Provider will use reasonable efforts to provide to Civitas within ten (10) business days after receiving or providing the notice described above a written change order containing a description of the required modifications and their effect on the scope, fees and timelines specified in the Statement of Work (each, a “Change Order”). No Change Order will be effective unless and until it has been signed by an authorized representative of each party. If Civitas does not approve a Change Order and has not terminated the Statement of Work, but still desires that the Statement of Work be modified, then the parties will use reasonable good faith efforts to agree on a Change Order that is mutually acceptable. Service Provider will continue to work under the existing Statement of Work during any such negotiations, to the extent such efforts are practicable and would facilitate the completion of the work envisioned in the Statement of Work, but will not commence work in accordance with the Change Order until it is authorized in writing by Civitas.

  2.3. Subcontracting. With Civitas’ prior written consent, Service Provider may subcontract the performance of specific obligations of Service Provider under a Statement of Work to an Affiliate (as defined below in this Section 2.3) of Service Provider or to a qualified non-Affiliate third party including, but not limited to, consultants; provided, that (a) such Affiliate or third party performs those Services in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (b) Service Provider remains liable for the performance of such Affiliate or third party. “Affiliate” means, with respect to either Civitas or Service Provider, any corporation, company, partnership, joint venture and/or firm which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Civitas or Service Provider, as applicable. As used in this Section 2.3, “control” means (i) in the case of corporate entities, direct or indirect ownership of more than percent (50%) of the stock or shares having the right to vote for the election of directors (or such lesser percentage that is the maximum allowed to be owned by a foreign corporation in a particular jurisdiction); and (ii) in the case of non-corporate entities, the direct or indirect power to manage, direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the non-corporate entity or the power to elect more than fifty percent (50%) of the members of the governing body of such non-corporate entity.

 

  2.4. Regulatory Contacts. Civitas will be solely responsible for all contacts and communications with any regulatory authorities with respect to matters relating to Services. Unless required by applicable law, Service Provider will have no contact or communication with any regulatory authority regarding Services without the prior written consent of Civitas, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Service Provider will notify Civitas promptly, and in no event later than one (1) business day, after Service Provider receives any contact or communication from any regulatory authority relating in any way to Services and will provide Civitas with copies of any such communication within one (1) business day after Service Provider’s receipt of such communication. Unless prohibited by applicable law, Service Provider will consult with Civitas regarding the response to any inquiry or observation from any regulatory authority relating in any way to Services and will allow Civitas at its discretion to control and/or participate in any further contacts or communications relating to Services. Service Provider will comply with all reasonable requests and comments by Civitas with respect to all contacts and communications with any regulatory authority relating to Services provided to Civitas.

 

  2.5. Audits. With reasonable notice by Civitas to Service Provider and during normal business hours, Service Provider will allow Civitas employees and representatives and representatives of regulatory authorities to review Service Provider’s standard operating procedures and records, pertaining to Services and to inspect the facilities used to render Services.

Trays to protect the tine sharpness are required. PLEASE NOTE that the pricing below is for custom trays. A suitable “off the shelf” tray was not found within the timeframe of this RFP. An “off the shelf” tray can be further investigated with the expectation of finding a less expensive tray that can be used in a clean room setting.
