(b) | Annual Quantity. |
The Client acknowledges that the fee for Manufacturing in respect of a Product in any Year is quoted based upon the Annual Volume and Minimum Order Quantity per Product specified in Schedule B and is subject to change following good faith discussions by the parties if the specified Annual Volume or Minimum Order Quantity increases or decreases. For greater certainty, if Patheon and the Client agree that the Annual Volume or Minimum Order Quantity in respect of a Product shall be reduced beyond the range of such values provided in the tables in Schedule B, whether as a result of a decrease in estimated annual volume or otherwise, and, as a result of such reduction, Patheon’s costs for services relating to such Product increase on a per unit basis, then Patheon shall be entitled to an increase in the fee for Manufacturing in respect of such Product. In addition, for greater certainty, if Patheon and the Client agree that the Annual Volume or Minimum Order Quantity in respect of a Product shall be increased beyond the range of such values provided in the tables in Schedule B, and, as a result of such increase, Patheon’s costs for services relating to such Product decrease on a per unit basis, then the Client shall be entitled to a decrease in the fee for Manufacturing in respect of such Product.
In connection with all fee adjustments requests pursuant to this Section 4.2, Patheon shall deliver to the Client by not later than **** of each **** a revised Schedule B in draft form and such budgetary pricing information or other documentation reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that an increase or decrease in the fee adjustment is justified (and/or upon the reasonable request of Client, such budgetary pricing information or other documentation reasonably sufficient to demonstrate to Client that a decrease in the fee adjustment is not justified), provided that to the extent such documents are subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers, Patheon shall make such documents available, subject to the confidentiality obligations provided in this Agreement, to a third party designated by Client and approved by Patheon (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at Patheon’s facility for the purpose of allowing such third party to confirm that the fee adjustments proposed by Patheon are justified. Upon delivery of such a fee adjustment request pursuant to this Section, each of the Client and Patheon shall forthwith use reasonable efforts to agree on a revised fee for the Manufacturing in respect of each affected Product, if any, and Schedule B shall be amended accordingly. If the parties are unable to agree on a revised fee for the Manufacturing in respect of each affected Product within **** after receipt by Client of Patheon’s fee adjustment request, then ****. The revised fee shall be effective with respect to any Product ordered after the end of the then current ****.

4.3 | Price Adjustments – Current Year Pricing. |
During any Year of this Agreement, the fees set out in Schedule B shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the following:
(a)Annual Quantity. If at any time and from time to time Patheon or Client determines, acting reasonably and based on the forecasts and Firm Orders received from the Client, that the current Annual Volume or Minimum Order Quantity listed in Schedule B for each specific Product strength will either not be met or will be exceeded (i.e., the actual Minimum Order Quantity and/or the actual Annual Volume, and the costs of such variations, exceed the range of such value(s) provided in the tables in Schedule B), then Patheon or Client shall be entitled to request an adjustment to the fee for Manufacturing in respect of that Product to reflect the increased or decreased costs that Patheon will incur as a result of the increased or reduced volumes beyond the range of such values provided in the tables in Schedule B. To the extent that the fee for Manufacturing in respect of a Product has been previously adjusted pursuant to this clause (a) to reflect reduced volumes or increased volumes, the adjustment provided in this clause (a) shall operate based on the fees attributed to such Product at the time the last of such adjustments were made.
(b)Extraordinary Increase in Component Costs. If at any time market conditions result in Patheon’s cost of Components being **** greater than normal forecasted increases, then Patheon shall be entitled to an adjustment to the fee for Manufacturing in respect of any affected Product solely to compensate it for such increased Component costs that may be justified by reasonable documentation, provided that to the extent such documents are subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers, Patheon shall make such documents available, subject to the confidentiality obligations provided in this Agreement, to a third party designated by Client and approved by Patheon (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at Patheon’s facility for the purpose of allowing such third party to confirm that the fee adjustments proposed by Patheon are justified. For the purposes of this clause (b), changes materially greater than normal forecasted increases shall be considered to have occurred only if ****. To the extent that Component costs have been previously adjusted pursuant to clause (a) of Section 4.2 or this clause (b) to reflect an increase in the cost of one or more Components, the adjustments provided for in (i) and (ii) above shall operate based on the costs attributed to such Component (or Components) at the time the last of such adjustments were made.
In connection with a fee adjustment request pursuant to this Section 4.3, Patheon shall deliver to the Client a revised Schedule B and such budgetary pricing information, adjusted Component costs or other documentation reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that an increase or decrease in fee adjustment is justified

(and/or upon the reasonable request of Client, such budgetary pricing information or other documentation reasonably sufficient to demonstrate to Client that a decrease in the fee adjustment is not justified), provided that to the extent such documents are subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers, Patheon shall make such documents available, subject to the confidentiality obligations provided in this Agreement, to a third party designated by Client and approved by Patheon (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at Patheon’s facility for the purpose of allowing such third party to confirm that the fee adjustments proposed by Patheon are justified. Upon delivery of such a request, each of the Client and Patheon shall forthwith use all reasonable efforts to agree on a revised fee for the Manufacturing in respect of each affected Product and Schedule B shall be amended accordingly. If the parties are unable to agree on a revised fee for the Manufacturing in respect of each affected Product within **** after receipt by Client of Patheon’s fee adjustment request, then ****.
Patheon will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the increases in cost of Components will not be materially greater than normal forecasted increases.
4.4 | Adjustments Due to Technical Changes. |
Amendments to the Specifications or the Quality Agreement requested by the Client will only be implemented following a good faith technical and cost review by Patheon and are subject to the Client and Patheon reaching agreement in writing as to revisions, if any, to the fees specified in Schedules B or C necessitated by any such amendment. Amendments to the Specifications, the Quality Agreement or the Manufacturing Site or any material deviations from the assumptions specified in Schedule B requested by Patheon will only be implemented following the written approval of Client, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. If the Client accepts the proposed fee change (if any), the proposed change in the Specifications or the Quality Agreement requested by Client shall be implemented, and the fee change shall become effective only with respect to those orders of Products that are manufactured in accordance with the revised Specifications or Quality Agreement. In addition, the Client agrees ****. Open purchase orders for Components no longer required under

4.5 | Multi-Country Packaging Requirements. |
Prices in Schedule B are for Packaged Product(s) for the specific markets in the Territory requested by Client. Should Client wish to have Patheon provide Manufacturing in respect of the Product for countries in addition to those countries listed in Schedule B, then the Client shall inform Patheon of the packaging requirements for each new country and Patheon shall, in good faith, prepare a quotation for consideration by the Client of the additional Component costs, if any, and the change over fees for the Product destined for each such new country. The agreed additional packaging requirements and related packaging costs and change over fees shall be set out in a written amendment to this Agreement mutually agreed upon by the parties.
4.6 | Improvement of Manufacturing Efficiency. |

5.1 | Orders and Forecasts. |
(a)Rolling Forecasts. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the Client shall provide Patheon with a written **** forecast of the volume of each Product that the Client then anticipates will be required to be produced and delivered to the Client during ****. Such forecast will be updated by the Client **** on or before the **** of each **** on a ****, and the Client shall use commercially reasonable efforts to update such forecast forthwith if the Client determines that the volumes contemplated in the most recent of such forecasts for the next **** have changed by more than ****.

5.2 | Reliance by Patheon. |
The Client understands and acknowledges that Patheon will rely on the Firm Orders and rolling forecasts submitted pursuant to Sections 5.1(a) and (b) in ordering the Components required to meet such Firm Orders. In addition, the Client understands that to ensure an orderly supply of such Components and/or to achieve economies of scale in costs, it may be necessary for Patheon to purchase such Components in sufficient volumes to meet the production requirements for Products during part of the forecasted periods referred to in Section 5.1(a) or to meet the production requirements of any longer period agreed to in writing by Patheon and the Client. Accordingly, the Client authorizes Patheon to purchase Components in order to satisfy the Manufacturing requirements for Products for the **** contemplated in the most recent forecast provided by the Client pursuant to Section 5.1(a) and agrees that Patheon may make such other purchases of Components to meet Manufacturing requirements during such longer periods as may be agreed to in writing from time to time by the Client at the request of Patheon or the Client. If Components of the Product unique to the Client (e.g., packaging labels), ordered by Patheon pursuant to Firm Orders or this Section 5.2 are not included in finished Products manufactured for the Client within **** after the forecasted month in respect of which such purchases have been made (or such longer period as the parties may agree) or if such unique Components have expired during such period, then the Client shall pay to Patheon ****. Patheon shall be responsible for obtaining material safety data sheets (“MSDS”) of all Components purchased by Patheon pursuant to this Agreement. The MSDS will be used to establish conformance of the Components to the Specifications and to advise Patheon as to any safety or special handling requirements related to the Components.

For the sake of clarity, if the Client does not provide a Deficiency Notice within **** after Client’s receipt of the applicable Product, but instead provides a Deficiency Notice within **** after discovery of a defect not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, then Client retains its rights and remedies with respect to the defective Product.
(b)Determination of Deficiency. Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Patheon shall have **** to advise the Client by notice in writing that it disagrees with the contents of such Deficiency Notice. If the Client and Patheon fail, after good faith discussions, to agree within **** after Patheon’s notice to the Client as to whether any Products identified in the Deficiency Notice deviate from ****, then the parties shall mutually select an independent laboratory to evaluate if the Products deviate from ****. Such evaluation shall be binding on the parties, and if such evaluation certifies that any Products deviate from ****, the Client may reject those Products in the manner contemplated in this Section 6.1. If such evaluation does not so certify in respect of any such Products, then the Client shall be deemed to have accepted delivery of such Products on the **** after delivery (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, on the **** after discovery thereof by the Client, but in no event after the expiration date of the Product). The decision of the laboratory shall be binding on the parties, and the party that the decision disfavours shall bear the costs charged by such laboratory in connection with its decision.

The decision to initiate a Recall or to take some other corrective action, if any, shall be made and implemented by ****. “Recall” shall mean any action (i) by the Client to recover title to or possession of quantities of the Products sold or shipped to third parties (including, without limitation, the voluntary withdrawal of Products from the market); or (ii) by any regulatory authorities to detain or destroy any of the Products. Recall shall also include any action by either party to refrain from selling or shipping quantities of the Products to third parties which would have been subject to a Recall if sold or shipped.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION
12.1 | Commercial Disputes. |
If any dispute arises out of or in connection with this Agreement (other than a dispute determined in accordance with Section 6.1(b) or a Technical Dispute), the parties shall first try to solve it amicably. In this regard, any party may send a notice of dispute to the other, and each party shall appoint, within **** from receipt of such notice of dispute, a single representative having full power and authority to solve the dispute. The representatives so designated shall meet as necessary in order to solve such dispute. If these representatives fail to solve the matter within **** from their appointment, or if a party fails to appoint a representative within the **** period set forth above, such dispute shall immediately be referred to the Chief Operating Officer (or such other officer as he/she may designate) of each party who will meet and discuss as necessary in order to try to solve the dispute amicably. Should the parties fail to reach a resolution under this Section 12.1, either party may refer the dispute to arbitration in accordance with Section 12.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall be prohibited from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction (including without limitation, in any case where issues involving the protection or unauthorized use or disclosure of a party’s confidential information, trade secrets or intellectual property are involved).
12.2 | Technical Dispute Resolution. |
If a dispute (other than disputes in relation to the matters set out in Sections 6.1(b) and 12.1) arises between the parties that is exclusively related to technical aspects of the manufacturing, packaging, labelling, quality control testing, handling, storage or other activities under this Agreement (a “Technical Dispute”), the parties shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute by amicable negotiations. In this regard, senior representatives of each party shall, as soon as practicable and in any event no later than **** after a written request from either party to the other, meet in good faith to resolve any Technical Dispute. If, despite such meeting, the parties are unable to resolve a Technical Dispute within a reasonable time, and in any event within **** after such written request, the Technical Dispute shall, at the request of either party, be referred for determination to an expert in accordance with the provisions of Schedule F. In the event that the parties cannot agree whether a dispute is a Technical Dispute, Section 12.1 shall prevail. For greater certainty, the parties agree that the release of the Products for sale or distribution pursuant to the applicable marketing approval for such Products shall not by itself indicate compliance by Patheon with its obligations in respect of the Manufacturing and further that nothing in this Agreement (including Schedule F) shall remove or limit the authority of the relevant qualified person (as specified by the Quality Agreement) to determine whether the Products are to be released for sale or distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall be prohibited from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction (including without limitation, in any case where issues involving the protection or

12.3 | Arbitration. |
If any dispute cannot be resolved in accordance with Section 12.1, such dispute shall be finally settled by arbitration in **** using the English language in accordance with the Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) then in effect, by one or more commercial arbitrator(s) with substantial experience in resolving complex commercial contract disputes, who may or may not be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators. If the parties cannot agree upon the number and identity of the arbitrators within **** following the date on which a party referred the applicable dispute to arbitration, then a single arbitrator shall be selected on an expedited basis in accordance with the Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS. Any arbitrator so selected shall have substantial experience in the pharmaceutical industry. The arbitrator(s) shall have the authority to grant specific performance and to allocate between the parties the costs of arbitration allocate between the parties the costs of arbitration (including service fees, arbitrator fees and all other fees related to the arbitration) in such equitable manner as the arbitrator(s) may determine. The prevailing party in the arbitration shall be entitled to receive reimbursement of its reasonable expenses (including reasonable lawyers’ fees, expert witness fees and all other expenses) incurred in connection therewith. Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in a court having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall have the right to institute an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for preliminary injunctive relief pending a final decision by the arbitrator(s), provided that a permanent injunction and damages shall only be awarded by the arbitrator(s).
12.4 | Dispute and Termination for Breach. |
Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary in this Agreement, a non-breaching party shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(a) on account of a disputed breach until the dispute is resolved by mutual agreement or arbitration pursuant to Section 12.3 confirming the existence of the breach.
