Non-Conforming Drug Product: Within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of Production of any Batch pursuant to the Project Plan, ALTHEA shall promptly forward to CLIENT, or CLIENT’s designee, samples of such Batch. Within sixty (60) calendar days after receipt by CLIENT of the samples of the Batch and the Released Executed Batch Record for the Batch, CLIENT shall determine whether Drug Product conforms to the Drug Product Specifications, the Master Batch Record, ALTHEA’s current SOPs, and the Project Plan (collectively the “Product Requirements”).

	5.1.1		If (a) any Batch of Drug Product is approved by CLIENT as conforming to the Product Requirements, or (b) CLIENT fails to notify ALTHEA within the applicable time period set forth above, or such longer period as may be agreed, that any Batch of Drug Product does not conform to the Product Requirements, then CLIENT shall be deemed to have accepted the Drug Product and waived its right to revoke acceptance.

	5.1.2		If CLIENT believes any Batch of Drug Product does not conform to the Product Requirements, it shall notify ALTHEA by telephone, including a detailed explanation of the non-conformity, and shall confirm such notice in writing via overnight delivery to ALTHEA. Upon receipt of such notice, ALTHEA will investigate such alleged non-conformity, and (i) if ALTHEA agrees such Drug Product is non-conforming, deliver to CLIENT a corrective action plan within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of CLIENT’s written notice of non-conformity, or such additional time as is reasonably required if such investigation or plan requires data from sources other than CLIENT or ALTHEA, or (ii) if ALTHEA disagrees with CLIENT’s determination that the Batch of Drug Product is non-conforming, ALTHEA shall so notify CLIENT by telephone within the thirty (30) calendar day period and confirm such notice in writing by overnight delivery.

	5.1.3		If the parties dispute whether a Batch of Drug Product is conforming or non-conforming, samples of the Batch of Drug Product will be submitted to a mutually acceptable laboratory or consultant for resolution, whose determination of conformity or non-conformity, and the cause thereof if non-conforming, shall be binding upon the parties. Unless the Batch is determined to be non-conforming as set forth in this Section 5. 3 due to the fault of ALTHEA, CLIENT shall bear the costs of such laboratory or consultant.

5.2

Remedies for Non Conforming Product: In the event ALTHEA agrees, or the laboratory described in Section 5.1.3 above determines, that the Batch of Drug Product is non-conforming as a result of the negligent or willful act or omission of ALTHEA, [†] or ALTHEA’s breach of this Agreement, then ALTHEA, at CLIENT’s option, shall either (i) at ALTHEA’s expense, and subject to CLIENT, at CLIENT’s expense, supplying the replacement APIs, replace such non-conforming Drug Product within sixty (60) calendar days from receipt of replacement APIs from CLIENT, or (ii) refund the Purchase Price of the non-


†		DESIGNATES PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT THAT HAVE BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION

conforming Drug Product to CLIENT (provided that CLIENT has made payment for the non-conforming Drug Product). The remedies described in this Section 5.2 shall not act to limit ALTHEA’s indemnification obligations to the extent provided in Section 13.2 of this Agreement.

5.3

Non-conforming APIs: If Drug Product is rejected by CLIENT, and such Drug Product’s failure to meet the Product Requirements is the result of non-conforming APIs, then such non-conformity shall be deemed not to be non-conforming solely as a result of the negligence of ALTHEA.

Article 6, DRUG PRODUCT RECALLS.

6.1

Drug Product Recalls: In the event CLIENT shall be required to recall any Drug Product because such Drug Product may violate local, state or federal laws or regulations, the laws or regulations of any applicable foreign government or agency or the Drug Product Specifications, or in the event that CLIENT elects to institute a voluntary recall, CLIENT shall be responsible for coordinating such recall. CLIENT promptly shall notify ALTHEA if any Drug Product is the subject of a recall and the basis for such recall. CLIENT shall provide ALTHEA with a copy of all documents concerning such recall that are related to the Development or Production services provided by ALTHEA to CLIENT. ALTHEA shall cooperate with CLIENT in connection with any recall, at CLIENT’s expense. CLIENT shall be responsible for all of the costs and expenses of such recall, except to any extent that ALTHEA may have an obligation to indemnify CLIENT in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2.

Article 7, FORCE MAJEURE; FAILURE TO SUPPLY.

	7.1		Force Majeure Events: Failure of either party to perform under this Agreement (except the obligation to make payments) shall not subject such party to any liability to the other if such failure is caused by any cause beyond the reasonable control of the affected party, including without limitation acts of God, acts of terrorism, fire, explosion, flood, drought, war, riot, sabotage, embargo, strikes or other labor trouble, or compliance with any new order or regulation of any government entity that could not reasonably be anticipated, provided that written notice of such event is promptly given to the other party and that the affected party resumes performance hereunder as soon as reasonably possible.

	7.2		Failure to Supply: If ALTHEA fails to supply all or any material part of Drug Product ordered by CLIENT, CLIENT may require ALTHEA to supply the undelivered Drug Product or a lesser quantity at a future date agreed upon by ALTHEA and CLIENT, at no additional cost to CLIENT. The provisions of this Section 7.2 shall be without prejudice to CLIENT’s rights under Section 3.2 and 13.2 and remedies provided for thereunder.

Article 8, CHANGES IN PRODUCTION.

	8.1		Changes to Master Batch Records and Product Specifications: ALTHEA agrees to inform CLIENT within fifteen (15) days of the result of any regulatory development or changes to Drug Product-specific SOPs that materially affect the Production of Drug Product. ALTHEA shall notify CLIENT of and receive written approval from CLIENT for changes to Master Batch Records and Drug Product Specifications prior to the Production of subsequent Batches of Drug Product.

	8.2		Product-Specific Changes: If facility, equipment, process or system changes are required of ALTHEA as a result of new requirements that FDA or any other Regulatory Authority promulgates after initiation of the Project Plan, and such regulatory changes apply primarily to the Production and supply of one or more Drug Products, then CLIENT and ALTHEA will review such requirements and agree in writing to such facility, equipment, process or system changes, and CLIENT shall bear 100% of the reasonable costs thereof. In the event that CLIENT chooses not to bear the costs of such changes, then CLIENT may cancel any uninitiated Production of Drug Product without incurring any Cancellation Fees or other penalties hereunder.

Each party agrees to take the same measures that it takes to protect its own Confidential Information, and at a minimum all reasonable steps, to prevent disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information to third parties.

In addition, either party may disclose Confidential Information of the other party to those Affiliates, agents and consultants who need to know such information to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (collectively, “Permitted Recipients”); provided such Permitted Recipients are bound to maintain such Confidential Information in confidence under written agreements with confidentiality obligations at least as stringent as those set forth herein.

	9.4		Litigation and Governmental Disclosure: Each party may disclose Confidential Information hereunder to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary for (a) prosecuting or defending litigation, (b) complying with applicable governmental statutes or regulations or with judicial or administrative process, or (c) CLIENT’s conduct of pre-clinical or clinical trials of Drug Product, provided that if a party is required by law, regulation, or judicial or administrative process, or as a result of litigation, to make any such disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information, the party subject to such legal requirement or litigation will, when reasonably practicable, give reasonable advance notice to the other party of such disclosure requirement and will use good faith efforts to assist such other party to secure a protective order or confidential treatment of such Confidential Information required to be disclosed.

	9.5		Limitation of Disclosure: The parties agree that, except as otherwise may be required by applicable laws, regulations, rules or judicial or administrative orders, including without limitation the rules and regulations promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and except as may be authorized in Sections 9.4 or 9.6, no information concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein shall be made public by either party without the prior written consent of the other.

	9.6		Publicity. Except as part of any regulatory submission by CLIENT, or except as may be otherwise required by law or regulation after first providing reasonable advance notice to the other party, or except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, neither party may use the other party’s name in any promotional material, advertising, press releases, or other materials without in each case the prior written consent of the other party.

ALTHEA hereby grants CLIENT a fully paid-up, irrevocable non-exclusive license to (a) all ALTHEA Inventions solely to the extent necessary or beneficial for CLIENT to develop, manufacture, commercialize and market its pharmaceutical products and (b) any of ALTHEA’s Existing Intellectual Property that ALTHEA incorporates into the Development or Production of CLIENT’s Drug Products, solely to the extent necessary or beneficial for CLIENT to develop, manufacture, commercialize and market CLIENT’s Drug Products.
