TESTING; SAMPLES; RELEASE

5.1        Batch Records  and Data; Release. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties during their ordinary course of dealings, after Catalent completes Processing of a Batch, Catalent shall provide Iroko with copies of Batch records prepared in accordance with the Specifications; provided, that if testing reveals an out-of-Specification result, Catalent shall provide such Batch records promptly following resolution of the out-of Specification result and provide Iroko with notification of any anticipated delay in delivery. After Catalent completes Processing of a Batch, Catalent shall also provide Iroko or its designee with a certificate of analysis for such Batch and a "Certificate of Manufacture," which indicates that the material was manufactured under cGMP conditions. Issuance of a certificate of analysis constitutes release of the Batch by Catalent to Iroko. Iroko shall be responsible for final commercial release of Product at its cost to the market.

5.2        Testing; Rejection; Defective  Product.

A.          Following Catalent QA release of a Batch, Iroko or Iroko's designee may test samples of such Batch to confirm that the Specifications have been met.  Unless within [****] ("Review Period"), Iroko or its designee notifies Catalent in writing (an "Exception Notice") that such Batch does not meet the warranty set forth in Section 12.1 at the time of tender of delivery ("Defective Product"), and provides a sample of the alleged Defective Product, the Batch shall be deemed accepted by Iroko and Iroko shall have no right to reject such Batch. Upon timely receipt of an Exception Notice from Iroko, Catalent shall conduct an appropriate investigation to determine whether or not it agrees with Iroko that Product is Defective Product and to determine the cause of any nonconformity.  If Catalent agrees that Product is Defective Product and determines that the cause of nonconformity is attributable solely to Catalent's negligence,  willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement, including without limitation non-compliance with cGMP ("Catalent Defective Processing"), then Section 5.4 shall apply. For avoidance of doubt, where Catalent cannot determine or assign the cause of nonconformity or Iroko disagrees with Catalent's conclusions, Section 5.3 shall apply; and where the cause of nonconformity still cannot be determined or assigned after resort to Section 5.3, it shall be deemed not Catalent Defective Processing. Iroko shall be responsible to pay for the Batch or Batches if Product is not Defective Product or there is no Catalent Defective Processing after resort to Section 5.3 (should resort to Section 5.3 be necessary).  Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 5.2 A, the Review Period for the process validation Batches and Batches manufactured in preparation for launch of the Product shall be [****].

B.          In the event a Batch is not released by Catalent QA as set forth above because it does not meet Specifications, it shall be considered Defective Product. Catalent shall conduct an appropriate investigation in accordance with site Standard Operating Procedures and the timelines set forth therein to determine the cause of the nonconformity. If Catalent determines that the cause of nonconformity is attributable solely to Catalent's negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement then it shall

 

[****] Information has been excluded from the exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed

be deemed Catalent Defective Processing and Section 5.4 shall apply. For avoidance of doubt, where Catalent cannot determine or assign the cause of nonconformity, Section 5.3 shall apply unless the parties otherwise agree in writing.  Where the cause of nonconformity still cannot be determined or assigned after resort to Section 5.3, it shall be deemed not Catalent Defective Processing and Iroko shall be responsible to pay for the Batch or Batches at issue.

C.          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.2 A and B above, the parties acknowledge and agree, provided Iroko agrees in writing or it is determined by an independent third-party laboratory in accordance with Section 5.3 below, that Catalent Processed the Batch in accordance with the master batch record, Specifications, and cGMP, it shall be deemed not Catalent Defective Processing and Iroko shall be responsible to pay for the Batch.  For the avoidance of doubt, any nonconformity caused by the Iroko Equipment or Iroko's Process shall not be deemed Catalent Defective Processing unless the nonconformity was caused solely by Catalent's gross negligence or willful misconduct in the use of the Iroko Equipment.

5.3        Discrepant Results. If the parties disagree as to whether Product is Defective Product and/or whether the cause of the nonconformity is Catalent Defective Processing, and this is not resolved within [****] days of the Exception Notice date, the parties shall cause a mutually acceptable independent third-party laboratory to review records, test data and to perform comparative tests and/or analyses on samples of the alleged Defective Product and its components, including Iroko-supplied Materials.  The independent party's results as to whether or not Product is Defective Product and the cause of any nonconformity shall be final and binding. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, the costs associated with such testing and review shall be borne by [****].

5.4        Catalent Defective Processing. Catalent shall, at its option, either (A) [****] or (B) [****]. THE OBLIGATION OF CATALENT TO [****], (SUBJECT, FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, TO ARTICLE 14), SHALL BE IROKO'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

5.5        Supply of Material for Defective Product. In the event Catalent reprocesses Defective Product pursuant to Section 5.4, Iroko shall supply Catalent with sufficient quantities of Iroko­ supplied Materials in order for Catalent to complete such reprocessing. [****]
