(a) ). Further, any interruption of supply experienced by Angelini when Angelini has less than [**] months of Back-up Stock on-hand of the applicable Product shall not be deemed a Supply Failure, unless Angelinis failure to have [**] months Back-up Stock is due to Duratas failure to supply Product in accordance with this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A
Compound
Dalbavancin drug substance is a semi-synthetic antibiotic manufactured by chemical modification of homologues of the lipoglycopeptide antibiotic A-40,926 which is produced through a fermentation process.
Dalbavancin drug substance is a mixture of five closely related homologues that can be grouped into two structural families, designated dalbavancin A (subtypes A0 and A1) and dalbavancin B (subtypes B0, B1, and B2). The components that comprise dalbavancin drug substance all share the same core structure (Table A-1). These homologues differ from one another primarily in the length and/or branching of their respective fatty acid side chains on the N-acylaminoglucuronic acid moiety (designated as R1) and/or the presence of an additional methyl group (designated as R2) on the terminal amino group. Dalbavancin drug substance is a hydrochloride salt.
Dalbavancin drug substance is isolated as a hydrochloric acid salt. However, the active moiety is the free base form. The dalbavancin drug product strength (i.e. 500 mg per vial) is reported as the free base form. The free base structure is provided below.

Quality Agreement (minimum clauses)
The Authorized Manufacturers of the pharmaceutical product are responsible for certifying that the API is manufactured under GMP (EUGMP Part II, ICH Q7 Guide and any other applicable territory GMP guidelines/requirements) including re-packaging, re-labeling or dividing-up of API.
All of the activities such as procuring, holding, supplying or exporting the API have to be performed in compliance with the European Commission Guidelines on the Principles of Good Distribution Practices for API for Medicinal Products for Human Use and any other applicable territory GDP guideline/requirements.
The Authorized Manufacturers of the pharmaceutical product shall verify compliance with applicable territory GMP and GDP by conducting audits at the manufacturing and distribution sites of the API manufacturer.
The Authorized Manufacturers of the pharmaceutical product shall verify such compliance themselves or, without prejudice to Directive 2011/62/EU, through an entity acting on their behalf under a contract.
A written confirmation that the Authorized Manufacturers of the pharmaceutical product have verified the compliance of the API manufacturer with applicable territory principles and guidelines of good manufacturing practice by conducting audits is mandatory.
The written confirmation shall contain a reference to the date of the audit and a declaration that the outcome of the audit confirms that the API manufacturing complies with the principles and guidelines of good manufacturing practice in the US and EU.
The Authorized Manufacturers of the pharmaceutical product shall have a written contract in place with manufacturers of API and shall audit such manufacturers, in the absence of critical quality incidence, at least [**], providing Angelini at least an abstract of the audit report.
The Authorized Manufacturers of the pharmaceutical product shall inform within [**] business days Angelini of any major GMP deviation relevant to these API.
The Authorized Manufacturers of the pharmaceutical product are responsible to certify that the API manufacturer has the supply chain traceability of starting materials, intermediates, reagents used for the manufacture of the API that should be established and documented.
This documentation should be made available for inspection at the request of the Angelini and competent authorities.
The holders of the manufacturing authorization of the pharmaceutical product shall inform within [**] business days Angelini of any major GMP deviation relevant to these GMP- starting materials.
The Authorized Manufacturers
The holders of the manufacturing authorization of the pharmaceutical product shall ensure that the excipients are suitable for use in medicinal products by ascertaining what the appropriate good manufacturing practice is.
This shall be ascertained on the basis of a formalised risk assessment in accordance with the applicable US/EU guidelines.
Such risk assessment shall take into account requirements under other appropriate quality systems as well as the source and intended use of the excipients and previous instances of quality defects.
The Authorized Manufacturers of the pharmaceutical product shall ensure that the appropriate good manufacturing practice so ascertained, is applied.
The Authorized Manufacturers of the pharmaceutical product shall verify the presence of metals listed in ICHQ3D, in EMEA/CHMP/SWP/4446/2000 and in USP <232> and <233> in the finished product supplied to Angelini.
