(a) Initial Firm Orders. Within [***] after FDA approval of the BLA for a Product, American Regent shall deliver to CytoDyn its initial six (6)-month order for delivery of the Product. Within [***] of CytoDyn’s receipt of the initial order, CytoDyn shall notify American Regent whether it accepts or rejects such initial order (in its discretion) and the applicable Transfer Price and, in case of rejection, CytoDyn shall notify American Regent of the quantities of a Product that CytoDyn can accept for such initial order and the applicable Transfer Price. Once CytoDyn accepts the initial order, such initial order shall be construed as the “Initial Firm Order.”

(b) No Forecasts. American Regent shall not be required to provide forecasts for the supply of the Product in the Field. It shall purchase Product by providing Purchase Orders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties shall meet and confer at least once every calendar month to discuss the business issues generally related to the supply and Marketing of the Product (including anticipated demand and supply of Products).

(c) Firm Orders. American Regent shall place orders for a Product in writing (each a “Purchase Order”) and CytoDyn shall, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of a Purchase Order, confirm in writing whether a given Purchase Order has been accepted and the Transfer Price applicable to such Purchase Order. CytoDyn shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to accept all Purchase Orders which are provided to CytoDyn in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. All accepted Purchase Orders are Firm Orders.

(d) Delivery Against Firm Orders. Delivery on each Firm Order, including the Initial Firm Order, will take place [***] after CytoDyn has provided written notice to American Regent that such Firm Order has been accepted. CytoDyn shall deliver against each such Firm Order in accordance with this Section 6.2 (including with respect to the delivery dates and quantities set forth therein); provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (a) CytoDyn shall have satisfied its obligations with respect to delivery date if the actual delivery date is [***] of the desired delivery date set forth in the applicable Firm Order (or such other date as agreed to by the Parties), and (b) CytoDyn shall have satisfied its obligations with respect to quantity of Product if the actual quantity of Product Manufactured and supplied is within plus or minus [***] of the quantity of Product set forth in the applicable Firm Order.

(e) Terms and Conditions of Firm Orders. Each Firm Order shall be in the form acceptable to CytoDyn and shall specify (a) the quantities and format (if applicable) of Product ordered, (b) shipping instructions and destination(s), and (c) the requested date of delivery (provided that there shall be no more than one (1) delivery date in any thirty one (31)-day period and the delivery date is consistent with the provisions of Section 6.2(g) herein). Firm Orders shall not be made in any other form of document other than that prescribed by this Agreement unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise in writing. Any term or condition of a Firm Order that is different from or contrary to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be void. Except as contemplated herein, all Firm Orders shall be non-cancelable by either Party and American Regent shall be obligated to pay the Transfer Price for the Product supplied to American Regent. CytoDyn agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with unplanned changes in Firm Orders.

(f) Maximum Capacity. Subject to a schedule to be agreed upon by the Parties at the time of the Initial Firm Order, CytoDyn will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to supply the Product in accordance with its current manufacturing capacity and operational strategy and it shall be entitled to reject any portion of a Firm Order that CytoDyn believes will exceed its anticipated maximum capacity for a given calendar year set forth in the applicable schedule (when aggregated with all prior Firm Orders previously submitted for such calendar year).

6.3 Continuity of Supply. If CytoDyn is unable to supply any Product to American Regent pursuant to Section 6.2 for thirty (30) days or more after the anticipated date of delivery specified in a Firm Order, to the location specified therein, or if CytoDyn is unable to deliver on a timely basis at least [***] of the amount covered by Firm Orders issued by American Regent pursuant to Section 6.2(d) for [***] or more consecutive orders, (whether as a result of cGMP issues, a Force Majeure event, failure to meet quality standards, or otherwise) (individually or collectively a “Supply Interruption”), then at any time such Supply Interruption is continuing and CytoDyn holds less than one week of any dosage of saleable Product inventory, American Regent may declare a Supply Interruption by providing CytoDyn with a notice that a Supply Interruption has occurred. In the event that circumstances arise that may give rise to a potential Supply Interruption, the Parties will work collaboratively in good faith to avoid a Supply Interruption and in such connection CytoDyn agrees to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide American Regent with the same or greater percentage of Product for its Firm Orders, as the percentage of Product it provides to any other distributor of Product outside the Territory with respect to its Firm Orders. If there is no resolution of this matter, American Regent’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement.

6.4 Packaging Configuration. American Regent shall sell the Product with CytoDyn’s labeling and packaging, bearing American Regent’s NDC Number, and clearly identifying American Regent solely as the distributor of the Product. [***] after receiving FDA approval of its own labeling and packaging for the Product, CytoDyn shall supply American Regent with copies of CytoDyn’s approved labeling and packaging for the Product. CytoDyn’s labeling and packaging shall identify CytoDyn’s manufacturer of the Product. [***] after American Regent’s receipt of such labeling, American Regent shall provide to CytoDyn proposed camera ready artwork for the labeling and packaging for the Product American Regent will sell, which shall be consistent with the labeling and packaging of the Product provided by CytoDyn, with the addition of the American Regent’s NDC Number obtained pursuant to Section 3.3. The American Regent labeling and packaging for the Product shall be subject to the prior approval of CytoDyn, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. CytoDyn shall only be obligated to supply to American Regent the Product in mutually agreed upon packaging configurations, including, but not limited to pallet level aggregation for serialization. Any changes to the packaging and labeling of Product requested by American Regent shall require the prior written consent of CytoDyn, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If CytoDyn consents to such changes, such changes shall be effected at American Regent’s sole cost and expense.

6.5 Serialization.

(a) Connectivity. CytoDyn and American Regent connectivity between American Regent’s and CytoDyn’s L4 (vendor supported) systems is required to be established and validated prior to the first production lot of Product for sale by American Regent. This connectivity testing confirms that the EPCIS (Electronic Product Code Information Services) file containing the lot information can be successfully transferred from American Regent to CytoDyn. American Regent uses IRIS as its L4 system. Any updates made to the AS2 (a specification about how to transport structured business-to-business data securely and reliably over the Internet) need to be communicated directly to either Party. Using its L4, CytoDyn will generate and provide the serial numbers for the smallest unit of sale and aggregate the Serialized Shipping Container Codes (SSCCs) and pallet to American Regent’s L4.

(b) Lot Numbering/Expiration Dates. CytoDyn shall make arrangements for and implement the imprinting of lot numbers and expiration dates on the packaging of Product shipped. Such lot numbers and expiration dates shall be affixed on the Product packaging and on the shipping carton of Product as is required by cGMPs and consistent with the Specifications. Electronic on-line verification of the lot number, expiration date, and serialization will be performed by CytoDyn.

(c) Product Identifier and Serial Numbering. If required by Applicable Law, CytoDyn shall make arrangements for the imprinting of the product identifier, i.e., global trade identification number (GTIN) and serial number on the packaging of each Product shipped. Such product identifier and serial number shall be affixed on the Product packaging and on the shipping carton of each Product as required by cGMPs and consistent with the Specifications. Electronic on-line verification of the product identifier and serial number will be performed by CytoDyn.

(d) Data Carrier Printing and Encoding. If required by Applicable Law, CytoDyn shall make arrangements for the imprinting of the data carrier, i.e., 2D data matrix or barcode, on the packaging of Product shipped. Such data carrier shall encode the lot number, expiration date, Product identifier and serial number. Such data carriers shall be affixed on the Product packaging and on the shipping carton of each Product as required by cGMPs and consistent with the Specifications. Electronic verification of the data carrier will be performed by CytoDyn.

6.6 Method of Delivery of Product. Product shall be shipped and delivered DDP to American Regent’s facility in Shirley, NY and/or New Albany, OH (Incoterms^® 2010).). American Regent shall advise CytoDyn in writing at least fifteen (15) days in advance of the scheduled shipping date specified in the applicable Firm Order of the carrier to be used to ship Product to American Regent. CytoDyn shall cause such carrier to comply with all Applicable Laws, and the Product storage and shipping requirements, for the shipment of Product. CytoDyn shall determine the appropriate carrier if CytoDyn receives no direction from American Regent at least fifteen (15) days in advance of the scheduled shipping date specified in the applicable Firm Order to use a particular carrier. CytoDyn shall be responsible for providing temperature-controlled transport for the Product, along with verifiable data through temperature tails to support that the Product was not exposed to excursions during transport. Title and risk of loss to Product shall pass to American Regent immediately upon such delivery.

6.7 Acceptance, Rejection and Revocation of Acceptance.

(a) CytoDyn shall be responsible for Product test procedures for quality assurance, including Product storage and shipping requirements, before Product is released to American Regent. CytoDyn shall provide a certificate of analysis and other documents (collectively, the “COA”) as set forth in the Quality Agreement, in such forms as the Parties shall agree upon, for any Product batch delivered to American Regent hereunder certifying that such Product have been Manufactured, Packaged and shipped in compliance with the Specifications, cGMPs and all other applicable Regulatory Requirements and with an expiry date of not less than twelve (12) months from the date of shipment.

(b) American Regent shall inspect or shall cause to be inspected all shipments of Product promptly upon receipt. American Regent may reject any Product which does not conform to the Specifications, or the shipping and storage requirements for the Product, at the time of receipt at American Regent’s location. American Regent shall make any such rejection in writing, within ten (10) days of the later of the receipt of the COA or the Product at the facility designated by American Regent in the applicable Firm Order (the “Stipulated Rejection Period”), to CytoDyn, and shall indicate the reasons for such rejection (the “Rejection Notice”).

(c) If American Regent has not delivered a Rejection Notice within the Stipulated Rejection Period, American Regent shall be deemed to have accepted that shipment of Product. Once American Regent has accepted or has been deemed to have accepted a shipment of Product, and except with respect to Latent Defects discovered by American Regent or American Regent’s customers after the expiration of the Stipulated Rejection Period, American Regent may not exercise any rights to subsequently reject such shipment under this Section 6.7.

6.8 Rejection Procedures.

(a) After CytoDyn receives the Rejection Notice, it will evaluate process issues and the reasons given by American Regent for the rejection. CytoDyn shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to promptly notify American Regent whether it agrees with the basis for American Regent’s rejection, but in no event shall such notice be given later than thirty (30) days of CytoDyn’s receipt of a Rejection Notice. If CytoDyn does not so notify American Regent within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Rejection Notice as to whether it agrees with the basis of American Regent’s rejection, CytoDyn shall be deemed to be in agreement therewith.

(b) If CytoDyn agrees with or is deemed to agree with the basis for American Regent’s rejection, CytoDyn shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to promptly replace, at no cost to American Regent, such rejected Product.

(c) If CytoDyn disagrees with the basis for American Regent’s rejection specified in the Rejection Notice: (i) CytoDyn shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to promptly replace such rejected Product; (ii) no payment shall be due with respect to the replacement Product until it is determined which Party shall bear the burden of such cost hereunder; and (iii) the Parties shall submit samples of the rejected Product to a mutually acceptable Third Party laboratory, which shall determine whether such Product meets the

Specifications and, as part of this process, may also carry out a full investigation of the Manufacturing process for such Product if the Third Party laboratory reasonably believes such an investigation is necessary to resolve the disagreement. The Parties agree that the determination of the Third-Party laboratory, after it has assessed the retention samples and following any full investigation of the Manufacturing process it conducts, shall be final and determinative. If the Third-Party laboratory determines that the retained samples meet the Specifications, the rejection by American Regent is unjustified, and American Regent shall promptly pay CytoDyn for any replacement Product and, if the Product can no longer be distributed, Transfer Price on the rejected Product. If the Third-Party laboratory determines that the relevant shipment of Product does not meet the Specifications, CytoDyn shall not invoice American Regent for the replacement Product. The Party against whom the Third-Party laboratory rules shall also bear the fees charged by the Third Party laboratory in connection with resolution of the disagreement, including all out-of-pocket costs of investigating the Manufacturing process.

(d) At CytoDyn’s election and upon authorization from CytoDyn, American Regent shall destroy the rejected Product promptly and provide CytoDyn with certification of such destruction unless CytoDyn elects to have the Product returned, in which event American Regent shall cooperate in arranging such return. The party against who the Third-Party laboratory rules shall pay the cost of destroying or returning the Product.

(e) Notwithstanding any of the other provisions in this Agreement and without limiting any other provision herein, American Regent agrees that the remedies set forth in this Section 6.8 are American Regent’s sole and exclusive remedies with respect to the rejection of Product.

In the event there is a change in the Manufacturing requirements applicable to the Manufacture of the Product pursuant to this Agreement or an increase in CytoDyn’s cost structure for the Manufacture of the Product (including with respect to any materials used to Manufacture the Product) of more than [***], CytoDyn shall promptly notify American Regent and the Transfer Price shall be adjusted by CytoDyn to reflect such increase.

(c) American Regent shall be responsible for the payment of any duties, levies or Taxes applied to the sale of Product in the Territory by any relevant Tax authority.

(d) Any payments to be made hereunder and which have not been made by the due date, shall accrue interest at any rate equal to the lower of (a) a floating annual rate of [***] above the commercial prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the first Monday of each month, or (b) the highest rate permitted by law; provided that payments of such interest shall not constitute a remedy to a material breach for purposes of terminating this Agreement under Section 9.2. Additionally, American Regent shall be responsible for all reasonable attorneys’ fees, witness fees and court costs and other costs incurred by CytoDyn to recover amounts owing to it hereunder.

(e) American Regent shall make all payments contemplated by this Agreement in U.S. Dollars and to such address as CytoDyn may from time to time direct in writing to American Regent.

10.2 Indemnification by American Regent. American Regent agrees to and hereby does indemnify and hold the CytoDyn Indemnitees harmless from and against all Losses arising from claims of negligent distribution of Product by American Regent or any of its agents.

10.3 Procedure. This Section 10.3 describes the procedure for indemnification of Losses for the Third-Party claims. With respect to Losses relating to the claim of a Party hereto, the procedures provided in Article 10 shall govern. The Party seeking indemnification for third party claims under Sections 10.1 or 10.2 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of all matters which may give rise to the right to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that failure to promptly give the notice provided in this Section 10.3 shall not be a defense to the liability of the Indemnifying Party for such claim, but the Indemnifying Party may recover any actual Losses arising from the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such prompt notice. The Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge any such matter covered by this Article 10 without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, with the consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), to settle all indemnifiable matters under this Article 10 related to claims by Third Parties. In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnity under this Article 10 resulting from or arising out of any claim or legal proceeding by a Person other than the Indemnified

Party, the Indemnifying Party at its sole cost and expense may, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party and an acknowledgement of its indemnity obligations hereunder, assume the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such claims or legal proceedings and, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense (which costs and expenses shall not be applied against any indemnity limitation herein), shall take all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its own counsel and at its own expense, and shall be entitled to any and all information and documentation relating thereto. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume (or continue to diligently and competently prosecute) the defense of any such claim or litigation resulting therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof, the Indemnified Party may, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as it may deem appropriate, but may not settle such claim or litigation without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnified Party will cooperate reasonably with the Indemnifying Party in its efforts to conduct or resolve such matters, including by making available to the Indemnifying Party relevant documents and witnesses. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall keep each other informed of all settlement negotiations with Third Parties and of the progress of any litigation with Third Parties. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall permit each other reasonable access to books and records and shall otherwise cooperate with all reasonable requests of each other in connection with any indemnifiable matter resulting from a claim by a Third Party.

10.4 Indemnification Not Sole Remedy. Each Party hereby acknowledges that the indemnification provided under this Article 10 shall in no manner limit, restrict or prohibit (unless liability is otherwise expressly limited by the terms of this Agreement) either Party from seeking any recovery or remedy provided at law or in equity from the other Party in connection with any breach or default by such other Party of any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder, including injunctive relief.

10.5 Insurance. American Regent shall maintain insurance (including product liability insurance) with respect to its activities under this Agreement regarding the Product in such amount as such party customarily maintains with respect to similar activities for its other products, but not less than such amount as is reasonable and customary in the industry. American Regent shall maintain such insurance for so long as it continues its activities under this Agreement, and thereafter for so long as such party customarily maintains insurance for itself covering similar activities for its other products. CytoDyn will have in force prior to the First Commercial Sale and shall maintain in good standing throughout the Term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, product liability insurance policies in respect of the Product(s) with an internationally recognized insurer or insurers licensed to do business in the Territory in an amount not less than [***] per occurrence, and [***] in the aggregate, on such terms and conditions as are customary in the industry. Upon written request, CytoDyn shall provide written proof of such insurance to American Regent.

12.6 Assignment; Change of Control. Except as provided in this Section, this Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred, nor may any rights or obligations hereunder be assigned or transferred, by either Party, whether in a merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or other transaction, without the written consent of the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) CytoDyn may, without American Regent’s consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole or in part to (a) a CytoDyn Affiliate or (b) to a Third Party in connection with a Change of Control of CytoDyn and (ii) subject to Section 9.2(e), American Regent may, without CytoDyn’s consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder to a Third Party in connection with a Change of Control of American Regent. Any permitted assignee shall assume all assigned obligations of its assignor under this Agreement. Any attempted assignment not in accordance with this Section shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control of American Regent, CytoDyn shall have the right to require American Regent (including the Person who acquired American Regent in the Change of Control, if any), to adopt procedures as reasonably requested by CytoDyn to prevent the disclosure of all CytoDyn Confidential Information beyond American Regent personnel having access to and knowledge of CytoDyn Confidential Information prior to the Change of Control and to control the dissemination of CytoDyn Confidential Information disclosed after the Change of Control. The purposes of such procedures shall be to strictly limit such disclosures to only those personnel having a need to know CytoDyn Confidential Information in order for American Regent to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to prohibit the use of CytoDyn Confidential Information for competitive reasons against CytoDyn (and its Affiliates) products, including the use of CytoDyn Confidential Information for the development or commercialization of competing products in the event of a Change of Control of American Regent. This Agreement shall be binding on, and inure to the benefit of, each Party, and its permitted successors and assigns.

12.7 Public Announcements. Neither Party shall make any voluntary publicity releases, interviews or other dissemination of Confidential Information concerning the Product, this Agreement or its terms, or either Party’s performance hereunder, to communication media, financial analysts or others without the prior written approval of the other Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) CytoDyn may comply with its legal or regulatory disclosure obligations upon prior written notice to American Regent; and (b) upon written notice to American Regent, CytoDyn may make a mutually agreeable publicity release that mentions American Regent upon the execution of this Agreement, the FDA approval of the Product in the Field, or first sale of the Product by American Regent, provided, however, that American Regent shall have not less than three (3) Business Days to review and comment on such disclosures and filings, unless a shorter period is necessitated by securities laws, any such comments provided shall be reasonably accepted by CytoDyn and American Regent shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its review and comments on such disclosures.

12.8 Severance. If any Official Body having jurisdiction over either CytoDyn or American Regent declares any Article or part thereof invalid or any such Official Body deems any Article or part thereof to be contrary to any Applicable Laws, then such Article or part thereof shall be deemed stricken from this Agreement in that jurisdiction. To the extent possible the Parties shall revise such invalidated Article or part thereof in a manner that will render such provision valid without impairing the Parties’ original intent.

12.9 Non-Waiver. The failure of a Party in any one or more instances to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment, to any extent, of the right to assert or rely upon any such terms or conditions on any future occasion. Except as otherwise specified, all rights, remedies, undertakings, obligations and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be cumulative and none of them shall be a limitation of any other remedy, right, undertaking, obligation or agreement.

12.10 Further Assurances. Each Party hereto agrees to execute such further documents and take such further steps as the other Party reasonably determines may be necessary or desirable to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

12.11 Disclaimer of Agency. This Agreement shall not constitute either Party the legal representative or agent of the other Party, nor shall either Party have the right or authority to assume, create, or incur any Third Party liability or obligation of any kind, express or implied, against or in the name of or on behalf of another except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. None of a Party’s directors, officers, agents or employees shall be considered employees agents or legal representatives of the other Party for any purpose.

12.12 Construction. The language in all parts of this Agreement shall be construed, in all cases, according to its fair meaning. The Parties acknowledge that each Party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that any rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting Party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereto” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The terms defined in the singular shall have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice versa. Whenever used herein, the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall mean “include, without limitation,” “includes, without limitation” and “including, without limitation,” respectively. The masculine, feminine or neuter gender and the singular or plural number shall each be deemed to include the others whenever the context so indicates.

12.13 Counterparts. This Agreement shall become binding when any one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of each of the Parties hereto. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, including by facsimile, each of which shall be deemed an original as against the Party whose signature appears thereon, but all which taken together shall constitute but one and the same document.

12.14 Consents in Writing. Any consents or approvals required hereunder from a Party must be in writing.
