ARTICLE 3

MATERIALS

3.1           API.

A.                                   Reliant shall supply to Cardinal Health for Manufacturing and Packaging, at Reliant’s sole cost, the API and applicable reference standards in quantities sufficient to meet Reliant’s requirements for each Product as further set forth in Article 4. Prior to delivery of any of the API or reference standard to Cardinal Health for Manufacturing and Packaging, Reliant shall provide to Cardinal Health a copy of the API Material Safety Data Sheet (“MSDS”), as amended, and any subsequent revisions thereto. Reliant shall supply the API, reference standards, and Certificate of Analysis FOB the Facility no later than thirty (30) days before the scheduled Manufacture Date upon which such API will be used by Cardinal Health. Upon receipt of the API, Cardinal Health shall conduct identification testing of the API. Cardinal Health shall use the API solely and exclusively for Manufacturing and Packaging under this Agreement. The maximum volume of API that Reliant supplies to Cardinal Health shall not exceed the amount reflected in the Firm Commitment and the next six (6) months of the Rolling Forecast.

B.                                     All API provided by Reliant shall meet applicable Specifications that apply thereto, and shall be produced in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, including, without limitation, cGMPs.

C.                                     Cardinal Health shall inspect API as received to verify its identity and shall give Reliant oral and written notice of any nonconformity with Specifications within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of API by Cardinal Health. Reliant shall provide a Certificate of Analysis with each delivery of API and such certificate shall be the basis for drug potency.

D.                                    Reliant shall retain title to API at all times and shall bear the risk of loss thereof; provided, however, subject to Section 15.1, from the time API is received at Cardinal Health’s Facility to the time API is returned (or Product is delivered) to Reliant’s designated carrier at

Cardinal Health’s loading dock, Cardinal Health shall bear the risk of loss of API arising from Cardinal Health’s negligence or failure to comply with cGMPs or failure to comply with all Specifications.

3.2                                 Raw Materials. Cardinal Health shall be responsible for procuring, inspecting and releasing adequate Raw Materials as necessary to meet the Firm Commitment, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing. All Raw Material supplier changes must be agreed by the Parties by amending the Specifications in writing.

3.3                                 Reimbursement for Materials. In the event of (A) a Specification change requested by Reliant or Cardinal Health for Reliant’s benefit and agreed by the Parties, or to comply with any new requirement of a Regulatory Authority, (B) termination of this Agreement by Reliant without cause or expiration of this Agreement; or (C) unforeseeable obsolescence of any Raw Material, Reliant shall bear the cost of any unused Raw Materials that cannot be used by Cardinal Health or returned for credit, provided that Cardinal Health purchased such Raw Materials in quantities consistent with Reliant’s most recent Firm Commitment and the supplier’s minimum purchase obligations.

3.4                                 Yield and Inventory Reconciliation. Cardinal Health will achieve a minimum Yield in Manufacturing the Product. “Yield” means the relation between the API content of the Product Manufactured over a certain time period and the actual quantity of API used to Manufacture such quantity of Product. The minimum Yield was determined after the Manufacture of the greater of twenty (20) batches or the number of batches Manufactured during the first three (3) months of production and is set forth in Exhibit C. In the event the minimum yield falls below [***]% at any time during the Term, the Parties agree to discuss remedies to elevate the minimum yield in good faith and amend the Agreement as the Parties deem appropriate, provided, however, the foregoing discussions shall not relieve Cardinal Health of its obligations to pay for quantities of API consumed in excess of the minimum Yield under this Section 3.4. In the event the Parties have not agreed on remedies to elevate the Yield to [***]% within three (3) months of determining the minimum Yield as set forth above, the Parties expressly agree that for purposes of this Section 3.4 and the obligations set forth herein, the minimum Yield shall be no less than [***]%, unless the Parties discuss and agree that it is commercially impracticable under the circumstances. After the Parties have established the minimum Yield, Cardinal Health shall, after Manufacture of each Batch, compare actual Yield for such batch with the minimum Yield. Cardinal Health shall prepare a quarterly report that sets forth all Yields by lot numbers that exceed the minimum Yield. Cardinal Health will reimburse or credit Reliant an amount that is equal to the current price that Reliant actually paid for API per kilo in the Contract Year (currently [***] dollars ($[***])[***]) consumed in excess of the minimum Yield, as evidenced by written documentation submitted to Cardinal by Reliant. The Parties agree that for specific written orders Reliant may provide Cardinal Health with instructions for Manufacturing that result in Yields lower than the minimum Yield. Reliant will not be entitled to reimbursement or credit for API to the extent that API loss is attributable solely to Reliant’s specific instructions. Within three (3) business days of the end of each quarter Cardinal Health shall notify Reliant of the quantities of API (both raw material and in-process) in inventory. Upon reasonable advance notice to Cardinal Health and at mutually agreeable times but not more than twice in any twelve

(12) month period, Reliant shall be permitted to inspect API inventory at Cardinal Health’s Facility.

ARTICLE 4

COMMITMENT OF THE PARTIES, PURCHASE ORDERS & FORECASTS

4.1                                 Minimum Requirement. During each Contract Year, Reliant shall purchase the minimum dollar volume of Product (the “Minimum Requirement”) set forth on Exhibit B. If Reliant does not purchase such Minimum Requirement during any Contract Year, within thirty (30) days after the end of such Contract Year and upon receipt of an invoice from Cardinal Health, Reliant shall pay Cardinal Health the difference between (A) the Minimum Requirement and (B) the sum of all purchases from Cardinal Health for the Product during the just concluded Contract Year.

4.2                                 Commitment of the Parties.

(a) INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

(b)                                 Reliant commits to purchase a minimum of 80% of its Manufacturing requirements for Trade Product in the Territory per Contract Year from Cardinal Health during the Term of this Agreement, subject to Section 4.2 (c) and (d) below. For the avoidance of doubt, Reliant may, in its sole discretion, purchase any or all of its Sample Product from any third party. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, the pricing for all Product will be at the level assuming that Reliant purchases 100% of its requirements for Trade Product from Cardinal Health, and, in the event Reliant purchases less than 100% of its requirements from Cardinal Health the Parties will conduct a reconciliation of pricing at the conclusion of that Contract Year.

Within sixty (60) days following the end of each Contract Year during the Term of this Agreement, and within sixty (60) days following the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, Reliant shall submit to Cardinal Health a written report (each, an “Annual Report”), certified by an officer of Reliant, setting forth, with respect to the immediately preceding Contract Year: (i) Reliant’s Manufacturing requirements for Trade Product in the Territory, (ii) the aggregate Units of Trade Product purchased from Cardinal Health; (iii) the calculation of the percentage of its Manufacturing requirements for Trade Product purchased from Cardinal Health, and (iv) the amount, if any, to be paid to Cardinal Health in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit B based on the actual percentage of Reliant’s Manufacturing requirements purchased from Cardinal Health. In the event that such Annual Report indicates that Cardinal Health is owed an additional amount for Trade Product purchased in the immediately preceding Contract Year, Cardinal Health shall invoice Reliant for such amount, and Reliant shall pay such invoice within thirty (30) days of the date of receipt of such invoice.

(c)                                  In the event Cardinal Health (i) determines it cannot meet any of Reliant’s Rolling Forecasts delivered in accordance with Section 4.3 below, or (ii) fails to deliver any Product within ten (10) days of a respective Delivery Date for three (3) consecutive months during the Term, such that at the end of any three month period Cardinal Health has failed to deliver the total number of lots for which Reliant has issued Purchase Orders, Reliant’s obligations under

 [***]:  Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

4.2(b) shall be reduced in direct proportion to the percentage such unfulfilled Purchase Orders represent as measured against Reliant’s obligations in Section 4.2(b), provided, however, Reliant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to return to the purchase requirement level set forth in Section 4.2(b) following resolution of any technical issues.

(d)                                 Any quantity of Product which is not delivered to Reliant by Cardinal Health within ten (10) days of any Delivery Date, for any reason whatsoever, during the Term shall give Reliant the option to purchase such quantity of Trade Product, but only such quantity, from a qualified third-party supplier.

(e)                                  In the event Cardinal Health’s Facility undergoes expansion and subsequent FDA approval of such expansion, Reliant shall have the option, but not the obligation, to have its Product Manufactured and Packaged in such new wing, provided, however, that Reliant shall bear the cost of relocating to such new wing, up to a cap of $[***].

4.3                                 Forecast. On the Effective Date and on or before the first (1^st) day of each calendar month following the Effective Date,  Reliant shall furnish to Cardinal Health in writing, an eighteen (18) month rolling forecast of the quantities of Product that Reliant intends to order from Cardinal Health during such period (“Rolling Forecast”). The first three (3) months of such Rolling Forecast shall constitute a binding order for the quantities of Product specified therein (“Firm Commitment”) and the following fifteen (15) months of the Rolling Forecast shall be non-binding, good faith estimates.

4.4                                 Purchase Orders. On or before the first (1^st) day of each calendar month, Reliant shall submit a purchase order for the Firm Commitment, which specifies the actual number of Batches to be Manufactured and Packaged, the approximate number of Units in each Batch, and the requested Delivery Dates for each Batch (“Purchase Order”). Reliant shall submit each Purchase Order to Cardinal Health at least ninety (90) days in advance of the earliest Delivery Date requested in the Purchase Order. Cardinal Health shall confirm Delivery Dates to Reliant. In the event of a conflict between the terms of any Purchase Order and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cardinal Health shall supply Reliant with quantities of Product that exceed by not more than [***] percent ([***]%)  the quantities specified in the Firm Commitment (“Excess Quantities”), and shall use best commercial efforts to supply additional quantities of Product requested by Reliant (“Additional Quantities”). Cardinal Health’s supply of Excess Quantities and Additional Quantities are both subject to (i) receipt of a Purchase Order for such Additional Quantities and Excess Quantities at least ninety (90) days in advance of the requested Delivery Date for such Additional Quantities and Excess Quantities, and (ii) Cardinal Health’s possession of sufficient quantities of API to Manufacture Excess Quantities and Additional Quantities. Cardinal Health’s failure to supply Reliant with Additional Quantities shall not constitute a failure to supply under Section 2.2 and 4.2. Should Cardinal Health fail to supply Reliant with its requirements for the Product, specifically excluding Additional Quantities, for any particular month hereunder, Cardinal Health shall be required to make up the difference in the immediately subsequent month.

 [***]:  Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

4.5                                 Cardinal Health’s Cancellation of Purchase Orders. Notwithstanding the terms and conditions set forth in Section 4.6 below, Cardinal Health reserves the right to cancel all, or any part of, a Purchase Order upon written notice to Reliant (and Cardinal Health shall have no further obligations or liability with respect to such Purchase Order) if Reliant refuses or fails to make scheduled deliveries of the API.

4.6                                 Reliant’s Modification or Cancellation.

A.                                   Reliant may modify the delivery date, Specifications or quantity of Product in such Purchase Order only by submitting a written change order (“Change Order”) to Cardinal Health at least thirty (30) business days in advance of the earliest scheduled Manufacturing Date for the Manufacturing and Packaging covered by the change order. Such change order shall be effective and binding upon Cardinal Health only upon the written acceptance by Cardinal Health and, notwithstanding the foregoing, Reliant shall remain responsible for the Firm Commitment portion of the Rolling Forecast.

B.                                     Notwithstanding any amounts due to Cardinal Health under Section 4.1 or Section 4.4, if Reliant fails to place Purchase Orders sufficient to satisfy the Firm Commitment, Reliant shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice, pay to Cardinal Health the difference between the (i) Unit Price for all Units that would have been Manufactured and Packaged if Reliant had placed Purchase Orders sufficient to satisfy the Firm Commitment, and (ii) Cardinal Health’s cost of any Raw Materials that would have been used in such Units, provided, however, that Cardinal Health is not in default of any of its supply obligations hereunder. In the event Cardinal Health has an opportunity to mitigate its damages hereunder, the Parties shall meet in good faith to discuss an appropriate reduction.

4.7                                 Unplanned Delay or Elimination of Manufacturing and Packaging. Cardinal Health shall timely fill each Purchase Order, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to both Parties. Cardinal Health shall notify Reliant as soon as possible after the receipt of a Firm Commitment or Purchase Order if Cardinal Health determines that any Manufacturing or Packaging related to the Firm Commitment or Purchase Order will be delayed or eliminated for any reason.

4.8                                 Inspection of Manufacturing and Packaging. Reliant may base up to two (2) representatives at the Facilities to observe the Manufacturing and Packaging provided that Reliant provide Cardinal Health at least ten (10) days’ advance written notice of the attendance of such Reliant representatives. Reliant shall indemnify and hold harmless Cardinal Health for any action or activity of such representatives while on Cardinal Health’s premises.

If Reliant notifies Cardinal Health during the Review Period that the Manufacturing Sample does not conform to the warranty set forth in Section 13.1 and Cardinal Health agrees with Client’s determination, Client shall not be responsible to pay for such batch (the “Defective Product”), and Cardinal Health shall, at Reliant’s option, either (A) replace any Batch of non-conforming Product, or (B) credit any payments made by Reliant for such Batch. If Cardinal Health does not agree with Reliant’s determination that such Product fails to meet the warranty set forth in Section 13.1, then after reasonable efforts to resolve the disagreement, the Parties shall cause a mutually acceptable independent third party to review records, test data and to perform comparative tests and/or analyses on the Manufacturing Sample. The results of the independent review 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 the non-prevailing Party.

THE OBLIGATION OF CARDINAL HEALTH TO (A) REPLACE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SPECIFICATIONS OR CREDIT PAYMENTS MADE BY RELIANT FOR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND (B) REIMBURSE RELIANT FOR API LOST IN THE DEFECTIVE BATCH, SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS IN ARTICLE 15.1, SHALL BE RELIANT’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO ANY INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 14.1 OR THE OBLIGATIONS OF SECTION 10.6 (RECALL)) UNDER THIS ARTICLE FOR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

5.3                                 Supply of Material for Defective Product. In the event Cardinal Health is required to replace Product pursuant to Section 5.2, above, in no instance shall Cardinal Health be liable for damage in excess of fees paid for Defective Product and API, subject to the limitation of liability in Section 15.1 and the indemnification obligations under Section 14.1.

ARTICLE 6

6.2                                 Failure to Take Delivery. If Reliant fails to take delivery within seven (7) days of any scheduled delivery date solely with respect to Product that has been deemed acceptable by

Reliant, Reliant shall be invoiced for such Product pursuant to Section 7.5   On the first day of each subsequent month Reliant shall be invoiced for the stored Product at a rate of [***] of Batch price per month for administration and storage costs. For each such batch of accepted but undelivered Product, Reliant agrees that: (A) Reliant has made a fixed commitment to purchase such Product, (B) title and risk of loss for such Product passes to Reliant, (C) such Product shall be on a bill and hold basis for legitimate business purposes, (D) if no delivery date is determined at the time of billing, Cardinal Health shall have the right to ship the Product to Reliant or Reliant’s designee within four months after billing, and (E) Reliant will be responsible for any decrease in market value of such Product that relates to factors and circumstances outside of Cardinal Health’s control. Within five (5) days following a written request from Cardinal Health, Reliant shall provide Cardinal Health with a letter confirming items (A) through (E) of this Section for each Batch of undelivered Product.

ARTICLE 7

PRICING AND PAYMENT

7.1                                 Unit Pricing. Reliant shall pay to Cardinal Health the unit pricing set forth on Exhibit B (“Unit Pricing”) for all Product. When a Purchase Order is placed, Reliant shall specify in such Purchase Order whether each lot is designated for Sample Product or Trade Product. For lots designated for Sample Product, Reliant shall pay the Unit Pricing for Sample Products as set forth on Exhibit B. For lots designated for Trade Product, Reliant shall pay the tiered Unit Price based on the number of Units set forth in its Rolling Forecast for the then-current Contract Year. By way of example, as of the date a Purchase Order is submitted, if Reliant’s Rolling Forecast for then current Contract Year estimates a unit volume in excess of One Hundred Million Units, Reliant shall pay the Unit Pricing for such volume indicated on Exhibit B. The Parties shall reconcile all accounts annually, no later than thirty (30) days after the beginning of each Contract Year hereunder, including verification by Reliant of its sampling program. In the event Reliant shall desire to make a Sample Product lot out of a lot otherwise forecast and purchased as Trade Product, the Parties shall reconcile such transfer and Cardinal Health shall credit the difference to Reliant within thirty (30) days of such notification. Unit Pricing for Sample Product to be used by Reliant for physician sampling shall be extended for two (2) years from the Effective Date. In the event Reliant shall receive FDA approval for a new indication for the Product, the Parties agree to discuss in good faith an extension of the Sample Product pricing program at the original sample price. In the event Reliant requests services other than Manufacturing and Packaging Product, Cardinal Health shall provide a written quote of the fee for such additional services and Reliant shall advise Cardinal Health whether it wishes to have such additional services performed by Cardinal Health.

7.2                                 Product Maintenance Fee.

In the event the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the

Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (a) settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a written release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim or (b) settle or compromise any Third Party Claim if the settlement imposes equitable remedies or material obligations on the Indemnified Party other than financial obligations for which such Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder and which contains no admission of fault or wrongdoing. No Third Party Claim shall be settled or compromised by the Indemnified Party without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if such settlement or compromise would result in an obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify such Indemnified Party, or would otherwise result in liability of, or have an adverse impact upon, such Indemnifying Party.
