3.1 Long-Term Forecast. At least [***] to the date on which Company will issue its first purchase order to CyDex for Commercial Grade Captisol (the First Commercial Order Date), Company shall provide CyDex with a non-binding forecast setting forth Companys estimate of the required quantities of Commercial Grade Captisol for each of the following [***]. Such long-term forecast shall thereafter be updated by Company at least once every [***].
3.2 Binding Detailed Forecast. At least [***] prior the First Commercial Order Date, Company shall provide to CyDex a detailed rolling forecast setting forth Companys requirements and anticipated delivery schedules for Commercial Grade Captisol for each [***] during a [***] (the Detailed Forecast) which includes [***] in which the First Commercial Order Date occurs and the next [***]. For purposes of this Agreement, a [***] means the consecutive [***]. The Detailed Forecast shall thereafter be updated by Company [***] on a rolling basis, no later than the [***], so that in each [***] CyDex shall have been provided with a rolling Detailed Forecast for each [***] during the [***]commencing on the [***] following the date on which such Detailed Forecast is submitted. The Detailed Forecast shall be firm and binding on Company, subject to the permissible variances set forth in Section 3.3 below, with respect to the [***] covered by such updated Detailed Forecast [***]. If Company fails to provide any updated Detailed Forecast in accordance with this Section 3.2, the Detailed Forecast last provided by Company shall be deemed to be Companys binding Detailed Forecast for the next succeeding [***] period.
3.3 Detailed Forecast Variances. Each updated Detailed Forecast may modify the amount of Commercial Grade Captisol estimated in the previous Detailed Forecast in accordance with the following limitations (the Purchase Volume Limitations):
(i) for the [***] covered by such updated Detailed Forecast, no change may be made to the forecast provided for the [***] in the immediately preceding Detailed Forecast without the prior express written consent of CyDex;
(ii) for the [***] covered by such updated Detailed Forecast, no change in excess of a [***] volume increase or decrease may be made to the forecast provided for the [***] in the immediately preceding Detailed Forecast without the prior express written consent of CyDex; and
(iii) for the [***] covered by such updated Detailed Forecast, no change in excess of a [***] volume increase or decrease may be made to the forecast provided for the [***] in the immediately preceding Detailed Forecast without the prior express written consent of CyDex.
For clarity, CyDex shall have no obligation to supply or deliver quantities of Captisol greater than the Purchase Volume Limitations.
3.4 Purchase Orders.

3.5 Delivery. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, Captisol shall be delivered [***]. Company acknowledges the inherent risk that a batch of Captisol may be lost in production or shipment, and Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a sufficient inventory of Captisol in the event of late delivery by CyDex. Quantities actually delivered to Company pursuant to an accepted purchase order may vary from the quantities reflected in such purchase order by up to [***] and still be deemed to be in compliance with such purchase order; provided, however, [***].
3.6 Quality Control; Acceptance and Rejection.
(a) Quality Control. The Parties shall enter into a mutually agreeable Quality Agreement within [***] of the Effective Date, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties. The Quality Agreement will clearly describe audit rights and procedures, which shall be consistent with this Agreement. CyDex shall conduct or have conducted quality control testing of Captisol prior to shipment in accordance with the Specifications and other CyDex-approved quality control testing procedures (the Testing Methods). CyDex shall retain or have retained accurate and complete records pertaining to such testing. Each shipment of Captisol hereunder shall be accompanied by a certificate of analysis for each lot of Captisol therein.
(b) Acceptance Testing. Company shall have a period of [***] from the date of receipt to test or cause to be tested Captisol supplied under this Agreement. Company or its designee shall have the right to reject by notice to CyDex any shipment of Captisol that does not conform in all material respects with the Specifications at the time of delivery pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof when tested in accordance with the Testing Methods. All shipments of Captisol shall be deemed accepted by Company unless CyDex receives written notice of rejection from Company within such [***] period describing the reasons for the rejection in reasonable detail. Once a delivery of Captisol is accepted or deemed accepted hereunder, Company shall have no recourse against CyDex in the event Captisol is subsequently deemed unsuitable for use for any reason, except as provided in Section 10.1 of the License Agreement.
(c) Latent Defects. As soon as either party becomes aware of a latent defect in any Captisol lot, it will promptly notify the other party of such event (including reasonable details and the lot involved). If Captisol accepted by Company becomes non-conforming by virtue of the later discovery of a latent defect, Company may place the lot on quality assurance hold pending CyDexs investigation and a final resolution of the claimed Latent Defect. In the event that such Captisol is found to contain a latent defect, such Captisol will be deemed rejected as of the date of the notice, and the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the rejected Captisol will thereafter be governed by the same process as governs acceptance testing set forth below.

(d) Confirmation. After its receipt of a notice of rejection from Company pursuant to Section 3.6(b) or (c) above, CyDex shall notify Company as soon as reasonably practical whether it accepts Companys basis for rejection and Company shall cooperate with CyDex in determining whether such rejection was necessary or justified. If the parties are unable to agree as to whether a shipment of Captisol supplied by CyDex or its Third-Party Manufacturer hereunder meets the Specifications, such question shall be submitted to an independent quality control laboratory mutually agreed upon by the parties. The findings of such independent laboratory shall be binding upon the parties. The cost of the independent quality control laboratory shall be borne by the party whose results are shown by such laboratory to have been incorrect.
(e) Return or Destruction of Rejected Shipments. Company may not return or destroy any batch of Captisol until it receives written notification from CyDex that CyDex does not dispute that the batch fails to meet the Specifications. CyDex will indicate in its notice either that Company is authorized to destroy the rejected batch of Captisol or that CyDex requires return of the rejected Captisol. Upon written authorization from CyDex to do so, Company shall promptly destroy the rejected batch of Captisol. Upon receipt of CyDexs request for return, Company shall promptly return the rejected batch of Captisol to CyDex. [***].
(f) Refund or Replacement. Company shall not be required to pay any invoice with respect to any shipment of Captisol properly rejected pursuant to this Section 3.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall be obligated to pay in full for any rejected shipment of Captisol that is subsequently determined to meet the Specifications in all material respects, irrespective of whether Company has already paid CyDex for a replacement shipment. If Company pays in full for a shipment of Captisol and subsequently properly rejects such shipment in accordance with this Section 3.6, Company shall be entitled, upon confirmation that such shipment failed to meet the Specifications in all material respects, either: [***].
(g) Exceptions. Companys rights of rejection, return, refund and replacement set forth in this Section 3.6 shall not apply to any Captisol that is non-conforming due to damage (i) caused by Company, its Affiliates or Permitted Purchasers or their respective employees or agents, including but not limited to, misuse, neglect, improper storage, transportation or use beyond any dating provided or (ii) that occurs subsequent to delivery of such Captisol to the carrier at the point of origin, including but not limited to any damage caused thereafter by accident, fire or other hazard and CyDex shall have no liability or responsibility to Company with respect thereto.
3.7 Facilities and Inspections. CyDex shall permit a reasonable and limited number Companys authorized representatives, during normal working hours and upon reasonable prior notice to CyDex but in no event less than [***] prior notice (subject to Third Party Manufacturers consent to be reasonably sought by CyDex), to confidentially inspect for a reasonable and limited number of days that portion of all CyDex facilities utilized for the manufacture, preparation, processing, storage or quality control of Captisol or such facilities of any Third-Party Manufacturer, no more frequently than [***]. If a defect in Licensed Product is attributed to Captisol, there are pending Licensed Product recall decisions, or significant regulatory actions, such as warning letters, then a for-cause audit upon short notice may be performed by Company. Companys authorized representatives shall be accompanied by CyDex personnel at all times, shall be qualified to conduct such manufacturing audits, shall comply with

all applicable rules and regulations relating to facility security, health and safety Company shall ensure that its authorized representatives conduct each manufacturing audit in such a manner as to not interfere with the normal and ordinary operations of CyDex or its Third-Party Manufacturer. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 3.7, Company, Permitted Purchasers and their respective employees or representatives shall not have access to CyDexs facilities or the facilities of any Third-Party Manufacturer.
3.8 [***]
(a) Notice. CyDex shall notify Company if CyDex is [***] ordered by Company within [***] after CyDexs receipt of a purchase order from Company.
(b) Allocation. [***] shall take all reasonable steps necessary to minimize supply delays.
(c) Alternate Suppliers. If CyDex fails to supply to Company with [***] of the quantity of Captisol properly forecasted and ordered by Company (and provided such order was within the Purchase Volume Limitations) in accordance with this Agreement, for a period of [***] or longer (Supply Interruption), then CyDex shall immediately provide written notice to Company of the Supply Interruption. [***]. In the event of a [***]:
(i) [***]
(ii) [***]
If CyDex is unable to resolve such [***] within [***] after the first day of the [***] or has not taken steps within such time period likely to resolve such [***] pursuant to clauses 3.8(c)(i) or (ii), then Company shall [***]. CyDex shall provide at its cost all assistance and technical information required to [***] (which shall not include [***] which is [***]) to Company or its contract manufacturer shall be subject to contractual covenants regarding confidentiality and limitations on use. In the event of a dispute between the parties as to whether or not a Supply Interruption has occurred, such dispute shall be finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with Section 14.4 of the License Agreement.
3.9 Product Recalls. If any Captisol should be alleged or proven not to meet the Specifications, Company shall notify CyDex immediately, and both parties shall cooperate fully regarding the investigation and disposition of any such matter. If (i) Company recalls any Licensed Product, or (ii) the FDA requires the recall of any Licensed Product, and in either case such recall is solely due to the failure of Captisol to conform to the relevant Specifications at the time of delivery by CyDex or for latent defect, then CyDex agrees, upon substantiation thereof, [***]. Company shall procure that Permitted Purchasers maintain records of all sales of Licensed Product sufficient to adequately administer any such recall, for a period of [***] after expiration or termination of this Agreement.
3.10 Modified Specifications. CyDex shall have the right to change the Specifications from time to time during the Term.
