3.2                               Company Changes to Manufacturing Process.  Except as required by Applicable Law(s), or cGMP, Company shall not Materially Change the Manufacturing process of API or Drug Product or change the Facility where the API or Drug Product is Manufactured without the prior written consent of Client, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.  Company shall notify Client of all Material Changes, including Material Changes required by Applicable Law(s), as soon as practicable after Company learns of such change.  A “Material Change” is one that requires a submission to the applicable regulatory authority(ies) for the Territory or is a change to the Manufacturing process, as set forth in the Manufacturing Batch record.

3.4                               Costs of Changes.  Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, any and all direct costs associated with changes requested by Company and/or changes required by Applicable Law(s) that apply generally to Company’s Facility where the applicable Manufacturing occurs shall be borne by Company; provided, however, in the event Applicable Law(s) imposes a registration fee (such as GDUFA or PDUFA) or similar user fee, and the fee relates to Company’s Services hereunder, the Parties shall determine in good faith an equitable portion of such fee to be paid by Client.  The Parties understand and agree that Company shall Manufacture the Drug Product in accordance with Applicable Law(s) and regulations, as the same may be amended from time to time. Each Party shall keep the other promptly and fully advised of any new instructions or specifications required by regulatory authority or Applicable Law(s) and shall discuss the cost of implementing such requirements, including by way of example, implementation of serialization.

 

Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, or otherwise necessitated by Company’s gross negligence and/or intentional acts or omissions, any and all direct costs associated with other changes, including, without limitation, changes requested by Client, changes required by Applicable Law(s) that apply specifically to API or Drug Product, and changes required by a change to a Marketing Authorization, shall be borne by Client (collectively, the “Other Changes”).  If the change is an Other Change, (i) the Purchase Prices shall be adjusted by the change in Company’s cost of Manufacture of the API or Drug Product caused by such Other Change, and (ii) Client shall reimburse Company for costs, expenses or losses associated with write-offs, obsolescence and/or destruction of any work in process or finished inventory resulting from any such Other Change.  If permitted by Applicable Law(s) and cGMP, any work in process and/or finished inventory resulting from any Other Change may be made available for delivery or pickup by Client, at Client’s sole cost and expense.  The Parties agree to use good faith efforts to discuss changes to the Purchase Prices due to any Other Change, or otherwise, prior to any Purchase Price increase taking effect.

 

Client may be required to make changes to the proposed API or Drug Product presentations based on clinical data and/or FDA feedback.  In such instances, both Parties will work in good faith to identify and implement these changes expeditiously and agree on any adjustments in pricing or cost as appropriate.

 

Both Parties shall use reasonable efforts to identify and evaluate process improvements for quality and cost improvement opportunities.  Such changes may include, but are not limited to, larger Batch sizes, alternative components, or otherwise.  The cost savings and reductions to unit pricing achieved by such process improvements and/or cost improvements will be shared in the same proportion as which the cost-savings activities were funded by each of the Parties.

3.10                              Delivery Schedule; Project Delay.  The scheduled dates for the performance of the Services as defined by the Parties represent the Parties’ best estimates of the timing for the various activities to be performed; however, both Parties agree that unforeseen delays may occur.  If such delays occur, both Parties will use good faith efforts to minimize the timing disruption to the scope of work and shall agree upon an appropriate adjustment in the lead times or delivery schedules, as needed, for the API and/or Drug Product(s).  Except in the event of a Force Majeure event, delay in Raw Material delivery not due to Company error, or delay in delivery of Client supplied Raw Materials, Company shall not be entitled to invoke this Section 3.10 to excuse any delay in performance of obligations under this Agreement.  If a Party believes the performance of any obligations under this Agreement will be delayed it shall immediately notify the other Party of the delay and cause and shall provide a good faith estimate of when performance will resume. When the affected Party is able to recommence the performance of
