B.          If Client requires a specific supplier, manufacturer, or vendor (each, a “Vendor”) to be used for any Raw Materials, then (i) such Vendor will be identified in the Specifications and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, such Raw Materials shall be deemed Client-supplied Materials.    If any Raw Materials are included in the Price and the Vendor’s cost for such Raw Materials is greater than the cost to Catalent for obtaining the raw material of comparable quality from another vendor, then Catalent shall add to the Price the difference between the Vendor’s cost of the Raw Materials and Catalent’s cost of the comparable Raw Materials.  Client will be responsible for all costs associated with qualification by Catalent of any such Vendor that has not been previously qualified by Catalent, which shall be invoiced to Client as a Pass-through Cost.

 

C.          If Catalent reasonably determines that any Raw Materials (for which Catalent has not been reimbursed in accordance with Article 7) will not be  used (i) in Processing because of (a) a Specification change for any reason, (b) obsolescence of any Raw Material, or (c) termination or expiration of this Agreement, or (ii) in connection with any Firm Commitment (due to, among other reasons, termination or postponement of the Services relating to such Raw Materials), then Catalent may issue an invoice to Client for reimbursement of such Raw Materials, including the administrative fees set forth in Section 7.1(C), and Client shall pay such invoice, provided that Catalent purchased such Raw Materials in accordance with Section 3.3(A).

 

3.4         Artwork and Labeling.  Client shall provide or approve, prior to the procurement of applicable Raw Materials, all artwork, advertising, and labeling information necessary for Processing, if any. Such artwork, advertising, and labeling information is and shall remain the exclusive property of Client, and Client shall be solely responsible for the content thereof. Such

artwork, advertising, and labeling information or any reproduction thereof may not be used by Catalent in any manner other than in relation to performing its obligations hereunder without Client’s written consent.

 

3.5         Client Materials and Raw Materials Storage. Catalent shall ensure that all Client Materials and Raw Materials that are to be used in the manufacture of Product or otherwise used for Services provided under this Agreement, as well as all Products, intermediates, and all other materials used in the Manufacturing Process in Catalent's control, are stored in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Specifications or the Master Batch Record (as applicable), retest date letters (reference standard), the Quality Agreement, all Applicable Laws, and/or as otherwise mutually agreed to in a signed writing by Catalent and Client.

 

3.6         Inventory Status Reports.    Throughout the Term, Catalent shall provide Client, on a monthly basis when Catalent is actively manufacturing Product, or otherwise on a quarterly basis, written inventory status reports setting out the quantities of Client-supplied Materials and certain excipients (agreed to in writing by the parties) in inventory for the Processing of Product under this Agreement, as well as any final Drug Product in inventory.

 

3.7         Handling of Wastes.  

 

A.         Hazards.  Client must notify Catalent of any hazardous conditions or Wastes known to Client that may exist or be produced by Catalent in the course of performing the Services contemplated by this Agreement, including providing Catalent with all information in Client’s possession or control concerning any health hazards or potential health hazards associated with exposure to or the handling, storage, use, or disposal of Client  Materials and/or Product, including, without limitation, a Material Safety Data Sheet for Product, if one exists.  In the event that any such information is updated or corrected, Client shall promptly notify Catalent thereof and provide Catalent with the updated or corrected information. Catalent shall, in accordance with Catalent’s internal procedures, inform its employees, contractors and other personnel of any known or reasonably ascertainable chemical hazards associated with the Client Materials, Product, or any Wastes generated through performance of the manufacturing and processing activities hereunder, and provide such persons with training, as required by Catalent’s internal procedures, in the proper methods of handling and disposing of such items.

 

B.         Handling; Notification.  At Client’s expense, Catalent or a designated Third-Party contractor shall handle, label, package, store, transport and dispose of all Wastes generated through performance of the manufacturing and processing activities hereunder in material compliance with Applicable Laws.  Catalent shall promptly notify Client in writing of any unauthorized reportable release or emission of any Wastes generated through performance of the Services hereunder and any potential environmental violation or litigation related thereto.  Each Party shall promptly notify the other of any health hazards or potential health hazards of which it is or becomes aware concerning exposure to or handling of the Client Materials, Product, or Wastes.

ARTICLE 4

MINIMUM COMMITMENT, PURCHASE ORDERS & FORECASTS

 

4.1         Minimum Requirement.  If the Plan Document specifies any minimum number of Batches that must be purchased by Client in one or more Contract Years (the “Minimum Requirement”), then Client shall purchase the Minimum Requirement for each such Contract Year.  If Client does not purchase the Minimum Requirement (if any) for any Product during any Contract Year, then Catalent may invoice Client after the end of such Contract Year, and Client shall be obligated to pay to Catalent, the difference between (A) the total amount Client would have paid to Catalent if the Minimum Requirement had been fulfilled for the Product and (B) the sum of the amount paid with respect to all purchases of Product from Catalent during such Contract Year (including any amount actually paid pursuant to Section 4.2 in connection with reconciliation of the Firm Commitment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Client does not purchase the Minimum Requirement during any Contract Year due to Catalent’s negligence, or material breach, then Client shall not be required to pay the difference described above.

 

4.2         Rolling Forecast; Firm Commitment.  On or before the [***] of each calendar quarter, Client shall furnish to Catalent a written rolling forecast of the quantities of Product that Client intends to order from Catalent during the following [***] period (the “Proposed Rolling Forecast”).  Catalent shall have [***] from receipt of a Proposed Rolling Forecast to accept or reject it.  If Catalent fails to accept the Proposed Rolling Forecast within the foregoing [***] period, and (i) it was the first Proposed Rolling Forecast for the Product, then it shall be deemed rejected, or (ii) it was not the first Proposed Rolling Forecast for the Product, then any changes in the Proposed Rolling Forecast from the previous forecast shall be deemed rejected.  If Catalent rejects a Proposed Rolling Forecast, the Parties shall discuss in good faith potential alternate proposed rolling forecasts.  A “Rolling Forecast” means a Proposed Rolling Forecast that has been accepted by Catalent in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.2.  For Rolling Forecasts prior to [***], the first [***] shall constitute a binding order for the quantities of Product specified in such Rolling Forecast (“Firm Commitment”) and the following [***] of the Rolling Forecast shall be non-binding, good-faith estimates. Commencing on [***], the first [***] of each Rolling Forecast shall constitute a Firm Commitment”) and the following [***] of the Rolling Forecast shall be non-binding, good-faith estimates.  If, in any given calendar quarter, Client fails to provide a new or updated forecast, the previous Proposed Rolling Forecast shall be deemed “re-submitted” for the current quarter and any applicable binding periods will apply to the quarters that have converted from non-binding to binding.   If Client fails to satisfy the Firm Commitment for a Product in any time period, then Catalent may, from time to time, invoice Client, and Client shall be obligated to pay to Catalent in accordance with Article 7, the Price for all Batches of such Product that would have been Processed if Client had satisfied the Firm Commitment in that time period. In the event that there is a production delay due to [***], then the minimum quarterly

amounts described above shall not apply and the Parties will confer in good faith to update the Rolling Forecast in light of any applicable delays.

 

4.3         Purchase Orders.    

 

A.         Within [***] of Catalent’s confirmation of acceptance of the Rolling Forecast, Client shall submit a binding, non-cancelable, written or electronic purchase order (each, a “Purchase Order”) for the quantities of Product in the Firm Commitment (excluding any quantities that were included in a prior, accepted Purchase Order).  The Purchase Order shall specify the number of Batches to be Processed, the Batch size (to the extent the Specifications permit Batches of different sizes) and the requested delivery date for each Batch. Client may submit Purchase Orders for quantities of Product in excess of the Firm Commitment, and Catalent may accept or reject such Purchase Orders in its sole discretion. Purchase Orders for quantities of Product in excess of the Firm Commitment shall be submitted by Client at least [***] in advance of the first Processing Date.  

 

B.          Promptly following receipt of a Purchase Order, Catalent shall issue a written acknowledgement (each, an “Acknowledgement”) that it accepts or rejects such Purchase Order.  Each Acknowledgement accepting a Purchase Order shall provide an estimated delivery schedule for the Product.  The Parties shall meet and discuss in good faith any necessary adjustments to the estimated delivery schedule.  For avoidance of doubt, it shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement if Catalent does not deliver Product in strict accordance with the estimated delivery schedule.  Catalent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Client with the number of Batches contained in the applicable Purchase Order.  If Catalent is unable to deliver Product in accordance with the estimated delivery schedule, Catalent shall notify Client promptly upon discovery of its inability to meet the estimated delivery schedule and the parties shall work in good faith to resolve any issues.  Catalent may reject any Purchase Order in excess of the Firm Commitment or not given in accordance with this Agreement.   Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.3(B) to the contrary, Catalent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to supply Client with quantities of Product set forth in a Purchase Order that are up to [***] in excess of the quantities specified in the Firm Commitment, subject to Catalent’s other supply commitments and available production capacity.  Catalent shall issue an Acknowledgement within [***] of its receipt of a Purchase Order.

 

C.          In the event of a conflict between the terms of any Purchase Order or Acknowledgement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.  

 

4.4         Catalent’s Cancellation of Purchase Orders. Notwithstanding anything in Sections 4.3 and 4.5 to the contrary, Catalent may cancel all, or any part, of a Purchase Order upon written notice to Client, and Catalent shall have no further obligation or liability with respect to such Purchase Order, if (A) Client refuses or fails to supply conforming Client-supplied Materials prior to the deadline set forth in Section 3.1 or (B) Client fails to obtain and provide in time to Catalent any

agreed documentation under Sections 2.8 or 9.2. Any cancellation of all or any portion of a Purchase Order substantially in accordance with this Section 4.4 shall neither constitute a breach of this Agreement by Catalent nor reduce or modify Client’s obligations relating to the Firm Commitment and Minimum Requirement (if any).  Upon Client’s placement of a replacement Purchase Order and delivery of conforming Client-supplied Materials or agreed upon documentation, Catalent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to appropriately schedule Processing of the replacement Purchase Order.

 

4.5         Client’s Modification or Cancellation of Purchase Orders. Client may request to modify the quantity of Product in a Purchase Order or the requested delivery date by submitting a proposed Change Order to Catalent. Such proposed Change Order shall be effective and binding against Catalent only upon the execution of the proposed change order by Catalent, and, notwithstanding any such execution, shall not reduce or modify Client’s obligations relating to the Firm Commitment and Minimum Requirement (if any).   Catalent shall work in good faith with Client, subject to commercially reasonable efforts, to resolve any issues arising from a modified or cancelled Purchase Order.

 

4.6         Unplanned Delay of Processing/Supply.   Catalent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet timelines set forth in the Purchase Orders. Catalent shall provide Client with as much advance notice as practicable if Catalent determines that any Processing will be delayed for any reason. If Catalent fails to meet its supply obligations to Client under this Agreement, then Catalent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cure such failure as soon as practicable. During such supply failure, Catalent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allocate manufacturing capacity to the manufacture and supply of Product to Client or other designees, until such supply failure is remedied.  If any supply failure continues in effect for a period of more than [***], Catalent and Client shall meet and work together reasonably and in good faith to seek a prompt and commercially reasonable solution to the problem causing the supply failure.

 

4.7         Assumed Risk. In the event that Catalent identifies in written risk assessment to Client a specific concern or risk (for example, with respect to Raw Materials or Process considerations), and Client agrees in writing, signed by Client, to proceed, Client shall thereby assume the risk outlined by Catalent and Client shall bear full financial and other responsibility and liability for the occurrence of such “Assumed Risk” regardless of outcome (including, but not limited to, if Client’s targets or expectations are not met, if the schedule set forth in the Project documentation is not met, or if Product Processed under any Plan Document fails to meet Specifications), but only to the extent any such liability results from the Assumed Risk. As a condition, the risk assessment and Client signature must be included in a written document or email acknowledgment which clearly identifies the risk and clearly labels the risk as follows: “Assumed Risk, subject to Section 4.7 of the Commercial Supply Agreement If Client decides not to proceed, then the Parties shall reasonably cooperate to determine the next steps before Services may continue. Without limiting the foregoing, Client remains obligated to make all subsequent payments to Catalent in connection with that Project according to the payment schedule and as set forth in this Agreement. If Client

requests a comprehensive risk assessment, the Parties shall negotiate an appropriate Plan Document or Change Order, including the cost to be paid by Client for such risk assessment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this section shall be construed to permit Catalent to include as an “Assumed Risk” generalized or non-specific concerns, risks, or assumptions.

 

ARTICLE 5

TESTING; 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 Client with a copy of the Batch Record for such Batch prepared in accordance with the Specifications within [***] of manufacturing; provided that, if testing reveals an out-of-Specification result, Catalent shall provide such Batch Record promptly following resolution of the out-of-Specification result. Within [***] after Catalent completes Processing of a Batch, Catalent shall also provide Client or its designee with Catalent’s certificate of analysis for such Batch and such other Batch documentation as may be required by the Quality Agreement. Unless otherwise set forth in the Quality Agreement, issuance of a certificate of conformance/analysis by Catalent constitutes release of the Batch by Catalent to Client. Client shall be responsible for final release of Product (including testing, at its cost) to the market.

 

  

 

5.2         Testing; Rejection.  No later than [***] after Client’s or its designee’s receipt of a Batch (or Product samples intended for testing by Client) plus all relevant Batch Records and documents set forth in the Quality Agreement to be included with each released Batch (“Review Period”), Client shall notify Catalent whether such Batch conforms to the Specifications. Upon receipt of notice from Client that such Batch meets the Specifications, or upon failure of Client to respond by the end of the Review Period, such Batch shall be deemed accepted by Client and Client shall have no right to reject such Batch. If Client timely notifies Catalent in writing (an “Exception Notice”) that such Batch does not conform to the Specifications or otherwise does not meet the warranty set forth in Section 12.1(A) (“Defective Product”) and provides a sample of the alleged Defective Product, then Catalent shall conduct an appropriate investigation in its discretion to determine (i) whether Catalent agrees with Client that Product is Defective Product and (ii) the cause of any nonconformity. If Catalent agrees that Product is Defective Product and determines that the cause of nonconformity is attributable to Catalent’s [***] (“Catalent Defective Processing”), then Section 5.4 shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, where the cause of any nonconformity cannot be determined or assigned, it shall not be deemed Catalent Defective Processing.

 

5.3         Discrepant Results.  If the parties disagree as to whether Product is Defective Product or whether the cause of the nonconformity is Catalent Defective Processing, and this disagreement is not resolved within [***] of the Exception Notice date, then the parties shall cause a mutually acceptable independent third party to review records and test data and perform comparative tests or analyses on samples of the alleged Defective Product and its components, including Client-

supplied Materials. The independent party’s results as to whether Product is Defective Product and the cause of any nonconformity shall be final and binding. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, the costs associated with such testing and review shall be borne by Catalent if Product is Defective Product attributable to Catalent Defective Processing, and by Client in all other circumstances.  

 

5.4         Remedies for Nonconforming Product. “Catalent Nonconforming Product” means Defective Product determined to be caused by Catalent Defective Processing (whether by agreement of Catalent pursuant to Section 5.4 or by an independent expert pursuant to Section 5.3). “Client Nonconforming Product” means Defective Product not determined to be Catalent Nonconforming Product (whether by agreement of Client pursuant to Section 5.4 or by an independent expert pursuant to Section 5.3). All such Catalent Nonconforming Product or Client Nonconforming Product that has been delivered shall be either returned to Catalent or destroyed, at Catalent’s option. In the event a Defective Product is, as applicable, Catalent Nonconforming Product or Client Nonconforming Product, the following shall apply.

 

1.Catalent Nonconforming Product. If the Product constitutes Catalent Nonconforming Product, Catalent, at Client’s direction and option, shall either: (i) re-perform, as applicable, the Drug Product fill-finish Services at no additional cost. In the re-performance of its Drug Product fill-finish Services, Catalent shall use replacement Client-supplied Materials, Raw Materials, Process Consumables, and Components, all of which shall be provided by Client at Client’s expense (except in case of [***] and subject to the limitations of liability set forth in Section 14) or (ii) credit Client for such rejected Batch. For the avoidance of doubt, Client shall be liable to pay for either the rejected Batch(es) or the replacement Batch(es), but not both.

 

2.Client Nonconforming Product. If the Product constitutes Client Nonconforming Product, Client may, at Client’s option, order and pay for a replacement Batch.  Catalent shall re-perform the Drug Product fill-finish Services at Client’s option and expense with Client bearing the cost of Client-supplied Materials, other Raw Materials, Process Consumables, Components, and the Services of Catalent, including the Batch Price for the Drug Product.  Client shall be responsible for the cost of each Batch of such Client Nonconforming Product whether or not Product is delivered.

 

5.5         Replacement. In each such case under Section 5.4, Catalent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace such Catalent Nonconforming Product or Client Nonconforming Product as soon as practicable after the investigation and resolution of the cause(s) of the Catalent Nonconforming Product or Client Nonconforming Product, taking into account any commitments to other Catalent clients or contractually obligated capacity constraints.

 

5.6         Development Batches.   Until a Regulatory Approval of the Product for commercial sale, each Batch produced under this Agreement, including those necessary to support the validation

portion of Client’s submissions for Regulatory Approvals, will be considered to be a “Development Batch” unless and until Processing has been validated.  Additionally, any Batch Processed after a (i) material change in Specifications, (for clarity, the materiality of a change will be determined by a risk assessment between the Parties)(in general, minor changes to Process or Product testing specifications shall not constitute a “material change”) or (ii) a change in scale of the Process to produce different quantities of Product (including, as applicable, after any Regulatory Approval) shall be considered a Development Batch until Catalent has Processed at least [***] consecutive batches of Product meeting the new Specifications (or existing Specifications at the changed scale, as applicable), and the Process has been revalidated and qualified by Catalent’s Quality and Validation departments.  Client shall be responsible to pay the Price and all costs of each Development Batch, even if such Batch fails to meet the Specifications, unless Catalent was grossly negligent in the Processing of the out-of-Specification Batch. Catalent and Client shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any problem causing the out-of-Specification Batch. If Client requests that Catalent Process a replacement Batch for any Development Batch, then (a) Client shall be obligated to pay Catalent its Services for Processing such replacement Development Batch and (b) all Raw Materials, Client-dedicated Materials, and Client-supplied Materials for such replacement Development Batch shall be at Client’s cost and expense.  Under no circumstances shall Catalent have any liability to Client for any Raw Materials or Client Materials consumed in a Development Batch.  Client shall not sell or distribute any Development Batch for commercial use unless it has obtained required Regulatory Approvals for commercial use of such Batches and provided satisfactory proof of such Regulatory Approvals to Catalent. For the purpose of the clarity, as it relates to Client’s PRGN-2012 Product, [***] no additional Development Batch will be needed for Client’s PRGN-2012 Product, unless there a material change in Specifications or a change in scale of the Process to produce different quantities of Product as described above.

 

5.7         Latent defect. If any Product is found to contain a Latent Defect after delivery by Catalent and such Product has not yet reached its expiration date, then Client may reject such Product by sending an Exception Notice together with a sample of the Product containing the alleged Latent Defect to Catalent (or if impracticable for Client to provide a sample, Client shall provide such other physical evidence as is reasonably necessary to evidence the alleged Latent Defect, which may include photographs or an independent third party analysis of the alleged Latent Defect), provided that such Exception Notice is received by Catalent no later than [***] after delivery of the Product by Catalent.  If reserve samples of the applicable Batch of Product retained at Catalent are also found to have the same Latent Defect described in the Exception Notice and such Latent Defect is attributable to Catalent Defective Processing, then Section 5.2 (“Testing; Rejection”) shall apply. For purposes of this Section 5.7 “Latent Defect” means a defect that exists at the time of delivery as described in Section 6.1, causes the Product to be Defective Product, and was not discoverable upon reasonable physical inspection of the Product or accompanying paperwork at the time of receipt by Client but is discovered at a later time; provided that a Product will not be

deemed to contain a Latent Defect if the defect is attributable to defective Client-supplied Materials.

 

5.8         NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE OBLIGATION OF CATALENT TO RE-PROCESS (OR REPLACE) DEFECTIVE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SPECIFICATIONS SHALL BE, TOGETHER WITH CLIENT’S RIGHTS UNDER SECTIONS 13.1 AND 16.2, CLIENT’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR CATALENT NONCONFORMING PRODUCT OR CATALENT DEFECTIVE PROCESSING AND IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTY OR REMEDY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

 

ARTICLE 6

6.1        Delivery.  Catalent shall deliver Product and any other material to be delivered contemporaneously with Product, including samples, data, or analyses (collectively, the “Deliverables”) Ex Works (Incoterms 2020) from the Facility promptly following Catalent’s quality disposition of Product. Catalent shall segregate and store all Deliverables until tender of delivery. To the extent not already held by Client, title to the Deliverables shall transfer to Client upon Catalent’s quality disposition in case of a Batch of Product or delivery in case of all other Deliverables. If Catalent provides storage services with respect to any quantity of Product or other Deliverables, title to and risk of loss of such Product or other Deliverables shall pass to Client (to the extent it has not already passed to Client) upon transfer to storage.

On the first day of each calendar month thereafter that the Products are stored by Catalent, Catalent shall invoice Client (and Client shall pay) for a full month of storage. In no event shall Catalent be obligated to store any Products for more than [***] without Catalent’s written consent. For purposes of this Section 6.1(B), storage by Catalent of any output from a manufacturing or development activity (such as an engineering batch) shall be subject to storage fees as set forth herein.

 

C.          Storage Pricing and Off-Site Storage.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.2(C), Catalent shall be permitted to store Product, Client-supplied Materials and Raw Materials in mutually acceptable off-site, third-party storage facilities. The applicable Plan Documents may include pricing for storage at a Catalent Facility or off-site, third-party storage facilities, and Client shall pay for such storage for as long as Product, Client-supplied Materials or Raw Materials remain in storage at such facility. If the Plan Document does not set forth storage charges, storage shall be charged at Catalent’s storage rates that are in effect at the time the storage occurs. If Client fails to take delivery of any of the Deliverables on any scheduled delivery date, Catalent shall store such Deliverables and have the right to invoice Client monthly following such scheduled delivery for reasonable administration and storage costs.

7.5       Payment Terms.  Payment of each Catalent invoice is due [***] after the date of the invoice. Client shall make payment in U.S. dollars and in accordance with the payment instructions in the applicable invoice, provided that Client reserves the right to dispute the accuracy of any invoice presented by Catalent and shall endeavor to notify Catalent of any such dispute within [***] of Client’s receipt of such invoice by providing written notice of such dispute to Catalent. In the event of a disputed invoice, the parties shall negotiate the disputed amount in good faith, and Client shall pay such undisputed amounts pursuant to the terms herein. In the event Client’s dispute about any amount is determined by the Parties to have been unjustified, Catalent shall be entitled to charge Client interest on such disputed amount at the rate of [***] from the initial due date until the actual date of payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time any undisputed payment is not received by Catalent by its due date, then Catalent may, in addition to other remedies available at law or in equity, charge interest on the outstanding sum from the due date (both before and after any judgment) at [***] until paid in full (or, if less, the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Laws). For the avoidance of doubt, failure to bill for interest due shall not be a waiver of Catalent’s right to charge interest.

 

7.6       Advance Payment. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Catalent may require payment in advance or the posting of a letter of credit before performing any further Services, including any Processing, tendering any delivery of Product, or shipping any Product, if (A) Client has, [***] in any [***] period, failed to pay timely any invoice or (B) Client has not established an acceptable credit rating or Client’s credit rating has been or is likely to be downgraded. If Client shall fail, within a reasonable time, to make such payment in advance or post such letter of credit as required, or if Client shall fail to make any payment when due, Catalent shall have the right, at its option, to suspend any further performance under this Agreement until such default is corrected, without such suspension releasing Client from its obligations under this Agreement.

 

7.7       Taxes.  All taxes, duties, and other amounts (excluding any tax based on net income or franchise tax) on Raw Materials, Client-supplied Materials, Services, or Product prior to or upon delivery, provision, or sale, as the case may be, whether assessed on Catalent or Client, are the responsibility of Client, and either Client shall reimburse Catalent for all such taxes, duties, or other amounts paid by Catalent or such sums will be added to invoices directed at Client.  If any deduction or withholding in respect of tax or otherwise is required by law to be made from any of the sums payable hereunder, Client shall be obliged to pay to Catalent such greater sum as will leave Catalent, after deduction or withholding as is required to be made, with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of any such requirement to make a deduction or withholding.

 

7.8       Client and Third-Party Expenses.  Except as may be expressly covered by Product Maintenance Service fees, Client shall be responsible for [***] of its own and all third-party

ARTICLE 8

CHANGES TO SPECIFICATIONS

 

Any change to the Specifications agreed by the parties from time to time shall be in a writing dated and signed by the parties, and such changes shall be made in compliance with the Quality Agreement. Any change to the Process shall be deemed a Specification change. No change in the Specifications shall be implemented by Catalent, whether requested by Client or requested or required by any Regulatory Authority, until the parties have agreed in writing to such change, the implementation date of such change, and any increase or decrease in costs, expenses, or fees associated with such change (including any change to pricing). Catalent shall respond promptly to any request made by Client for a change in the Specifications, and both parties shall use commercially reasonable, good-faith efforts to agree to the terms of such change in a timely manner. As soon as is practicable after a request is made for any change in the Specifications, Catalent shall notify Client of the costs associated with such change and shall provide such supporting documentation as Client may reasonably require. Client shall pay all costs associated with agreed changes to the Specifications. If there is a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the amended Specifications, this Agreement shall control. Catalent reserves the right to postpone effecting changes to the Specifications until such time as the parties agree to and execute the required written amendment.  For avoidance of doubt, any changes to Specifications shall only be applicable to future Manufacturing Services.

required to distribute, market, or sell Product in the Territory. If Client is unable to provide such information with respect to any jurisdiction in the Territory, Catalent shall have no obligation to deliver Product to Client intended for delivery to such jurisdiction, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement.  Client shall reimburse Catalent for any payment Catalent is required to make to any Regulatory Authority pursuant to Applicable Laws that specifically relate to Catalent’s formulation, development, Processing, filling, packaging, storing, or testing of Product or Client Materials at the Facility.  During the Term, Catalent will assist Client with all regulatory matters relating to Product, at Client’s request and expense. The parties intend and commit to cooperate to allow each Party to satisfy its obligations under Applicable Laws relating to performance of this Agreement.

 

9.3         Governmental Inspections and Requests.  Each Party shall advise the other Party of any inspection or inquiry by any Regulatory Authority concerning the Product or Processing of Product, as specified and within the time frame agreed to in the Quality Agreement.

Client shall provide to Catalent any material correspondence with a Regulatory Authority relating to Product, including FDA refusal-to-file, rejection, or warning letters. Client acknowledges that it may not direct the manner in which Catalent fulfills its obligations to permit inspection by and to communicate with Regulatory Authorities. Client shall reimburse Catalent for all reasonable and documented costs associated with inspections by Regulatory Authorities primarily in connection with any Product or Processing of Product under this Agreement or any Plan Document. However, Client shall not be responsible for paying any such costs related to any Regulatory Authority inspections or audits related, in general, to Catalent’s manufacturing facilities, operations or other infrastructure or any previously identified issues and/or complaints raised by a Regulatory Authority. Without limiting the foregoing, Client shall promptly notify Catalent of any communication from a Regulatory Authority relating to Processing at the Facility and shall consult Catalent in advance regarding any response to such Regulatory Authority to the extent that such response concerns Processing.  

 

9.4         Regulatory Authority Fees.  Client shall reimburse Catalent for any Regulatory Authority fees Catalent may be required to pay pursuant to Applicable Laws (“Servicing Fees”), where such fees result specifically from Catalent’s formulation, development, manufacturing, Processing, filling, packaging, storing, or testing of Product or Client Materials. For clarity, Client shall not be responsible for paying any such costs related to any Regulatory Authority inspections or audits related to Catalent’s manufacturing facilities, operations or other infrastructure or any previously identified issues and/or complaints raised by a Regulatory Authority.

B.          Quality Assurance Audits.  Client may conduct quality assurance Facility audits at a frequency established in the Quality Agreement.

9.7         Recall.  The Parties will each maintain records necessary to permit a Recall of any Product delivered to Client or its designee in accordance with the terms of the Quality Agreement.

The cost of any recall shall be borne by Client, and Client shall reimburse Catalent for expenses incurred in connection with any recall, in each case, except to the extent such recall is caused solely by Catalent's [***] or Catalent's [***] or its [***], in which case Catalent shall bear the cost of such recall.  Any costs to be borne by Catalent under the foregoing sentence shall be limited to (A) reasonable, actual, and documented administrative costs incurred by Client for such recall and (B) replacement of the Product subject to recall, subject to the terms of Article 5.

 

9.8         Quality Agreement.  Prior to the first Processing of Product hereunder subject to CGMP, the parties shall negotiate in good faith and enter into a quality agreement (as revised from the to time, the “Quality Agreement”). If determined necessary by Catalent, the parties shall enter into separate Quality Agreements for each Facility. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Quality Agreement with respect to quality-related activities, including compliance with CGMP, the provisions of the Quality Agreement shall govern. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Quality Agreement with respect to any other matter, including allocation of risk, liability, and financial responsibility, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

No provision of this Agreement may be amended except upon written agreement signed by both parties, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. The terms of body of this Agreement shall prevail in the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any Plan Documents. In the event of an inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Quality Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Quality Agreement shall govern all quality control/quality assurance and regulatory compliance related matters and this Agreement shall govern with respect to all other matters.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement.  

 

18.10    Alternative Dispute Resolution.  Any dispute arising between the parties in connection with, arising out of, or relating to this Agreement or any Plan Document shall first be presented to the respective senior executives of the parties for consideration and resolution.

Any such arbitration shall be conducted before a panel of three neutral and experienced arbitrators having reasonable experience in commercial transactions of the type described in this Agreement, one chosen by Catalent, one chosen by Client and the third chosen by the foregoing two arbitrators. The arbitration shall use the CPR administered arbitration rules then in effect, any award rendered in such arbitration will be binding, and the prevailing party may seek judgment on and judicial enforcement of such award in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitration shall commence [***] of the date on which an arbitrator is selected. The arbitrators’ decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any award of damages or finding of liability.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 18.10, each party acknowledges and agrees that, due to the unique and valuable nature of the other party’s intellectual property and Confidential Information, there can be no adequate remedy at law for any breach by such party of the provisions of this Agreement, that any such breach may result in irreparable harm to the other party for which monetary damages would be inadequate to compensate such party and that the other party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights available under applicable law governing this Agreement, to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of, or otherwise to specifically enforce, any covenant or obligation of such party under such provisions, without the necessity of posting any bond or security.
