Any impacting modification made to an order by OPIANT during the three (3) months’ notice period shall be reviewed by APTAR PHARMA which reserves the right, depending on the timeline, to defer the modification, in all or in part, until the next quarter.

Where applicable, value added tax or any other tax of any nature will be invoiced by APTAR FRANCE immediately in addition to any sum in respect of which they are calculated and shall be paid by OPIANT in full without deductions. When relevant, the parties agree to timely pay the amount of taxes levied or invoiced and also agree to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other and to provide each other with official tax certificates, other evidence of tax obligation together with proof of payments or any equivalent documentation required under applicable law. 2.

MISCELLANEOUS 5.1 Neither Party shall disclose to any person the existence or substance of this Agreement, except as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, and any information disclosed by a Party to the other Party in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to be the Confidential Information of such disclosing Party under and as defined in that certain Master Services Agreement between OPIANT and APTAR FRANCE dated October 27, 2020 (as the same may be amended from time to time). 5.2 The purchase of Products from APTAR PHARMA shall be set forth in a separate supply agreement between the Parties to be discussed.
