The first nine (9) months of each Forecast shall be binding on Buyer and shall constitute a firm commitment to issue a purchase order for the API indicated for such months subject to permissible variations described in Section 5.1.2. The balance of each Forecast shall be a non-binding, good faith estimate of Buyer’s anticipated purchases of each API during such period. Each Forecast will include information regarding quantities suitable for planned regulatory filings, including Manufacturing Quota and Procurement Quota filings. Buyer acknowledges that any failure by Buyer to timely provide Forecasts in accordance with this Section 5.1.1 that are reasonable in light of Buyer’s historic sales data may prevent Noramco and Buyer from obtaining Manufacturing Quota and Procurement Quota, respectively and may prevent Noramco or other inventory related vendors from delivering API and Product, respectively, as actually ordered by Buyer, on a timely basis.

5.1.2 Variations. With respect to Forecasts submitted hereunder, the quantity of API(s) forecast may not deviate, during the first six (6) months after Commercialization of the applicable Product, by more than twenty-five percent (25%), by more than twenty percent (20%), in each forecast period thereafter for the remainder of the Term, (for example, the quantity of an API forecasted for the fourth month of a given Forecast shall not vary by more than the applicable percentage from the quantity of such API forecasted for the fourth month in the immediately prior Forecast; the quantity of an API forecasted for the first month of a given Forecast shall not vary by more than the applicable percentage from the quantity of such API forecasted for the first month in the immediately prior Forecast; etc.). For the avoidance of doubt, and except for any changes in monthly forecast amounts pursuant to the last sentence of Section 5.1.1, in the event any Forecast overlaps with any prior Forecast with respect to the binding period described in Section 5.1.1, Buyer acknowledges that, notwithstanding such overlap, the quantity of API in each binding period is fixed upon the submission of the first applicable Forecast and may not be changed (by any subsequent Forecast or otherwise) without Noramco’s prior written consent.

5.1.3 Inventory Build. Any Buyer API inventory build or targeted API inventory quantities shall be built into the Forecast.

5.1.4 Planning. With respect to each Forecast, Noramco may, within nintey (90) calendar days of receipt thereof, notify Buyer that it will not be able to meet Buyer’s anticipated demand for any API as reflected for any of months seven (7) through eighteen (18). In such event, the Parties shall promptly meet to discuss in good faith to revise such Forecast, which shall be resubmitted by Buyer to Noramco with quantities mutually acceptable to both Parties.

5.2 Purchase Orders.

5.2.1 Submission. Buyer shall place Purchase Orders for the API(s) with Noramco from time to time in accordance with this Section 5.2.1. Each Purchase Order shall (i) specify in kilograms the quantity of each API requested (subject to Section 6.1.2); (ii) request only quantities of API consistent with the applicable binding portion of the applicable Forecast delivered in accordance with Section 5.1.1, but subject to any variances in accordance with Section 5.1.2; (iii) specify a delivery date for each API requested consistent with Section 5.2.2; and (iv) include the documentation required by Section 5.2.3.

If the total actual purchases and open orders for the Year do not meet the binding purchases pursuant to Section 5.1.1, subject to the variances of Section 5.1.2 for the year, then Noramco shall have the right to: (i) adjust the Price on the open orders in the remaining portion of the fourth quarter, taking into consideration the volume of API actually purchased by Buyer during the months of year up to the date of the review (“Adjusted Price for Actual Purchases”); and (ii) issue an invoice to Buyer for the volume of API purchased by Buyer during to date with the Adjusted Price for Actual Purchases (“Price Adjustment Invoice”). To calculate the amount of Price Adjustment Invoice, Noramco shall calculate the theoretical invoice amount of the minimum amount that Buyer would have been required to purchase subject to variances in accordance with Section 5.1.2 and compare that to the invoice amount of actual purchases. The difference shall be divided by two and that shall be the amount of the Price Adjustment Invoice. Noramco may invoice Buyer for, and Buyer shall pay, any such Price Adjustment Invoice.

6.2.4 Annual Adjustments Procedure. Noramco will provide written notice to Buyer of all Price adjustments made pursuant to Section 6.2.1 as soon as reasonably practicable following January 1 of each Year following the Initial Price Period;provided, that no delay in providing such notice shall impair Noramco’s right to charge such adjusted Prices.

8.1 Inspection and Rejection. All API may be inspected by Buyer and rejected if the API does not meet the warranty set forth in Section 11.1(iii) (any such API, “Nonconforming API”). API will be deemed accepted if Noramco does not receive written notice from Buyer to the contrary, setting forth in reasonable detail the claimed nonconformity and providing a sample of the alleged Nonconforming API, within forty-five (45) calendar days after tender of delivery to Buyer of such API. If Buyer provides a written notice of Nonconforming API, Buyer shall have no payment obligation with respect to such Nonconforming API unless and until such API is deemed conforming pursuant to thisSection 8.

8.2 Assessment. Upon receipt of a timely-delivered rejection notice and sample pursuant to Section 8.1, Noramco will have thirty (30) calendar days to inspect the alleged Nonconforming API and make a reasonable assessment of the alleged nonconformance. If Noramco agrees, or there is a determination under Section 8.3, that any API is Nonconforming API, then Noramco, at its sole cost (including shipping), and as Buyer’s sole remedy, shall promptly replace the Nonconforming API. Buyer shall, at Noramco’s election and expense, either return the Nonconforming API to Noramco or destroy the Nonconforming API and have an authorized officer of Buyer certify such destruction in writing.

8.3 Dispute Resolution. Any dispute between the Parties concerning whether rejected API is in fact Nonconforming API that the Parties are unable to resolve within a sixty (60) day period from Buyer’s rejection notice will be investigated in accordance with the Quality Agreement. If the Parties still cannot agree after such investigation whether rejected API is in fact Nonconforming API, the Parties will arrange to have samples submitted to a qualified independent laboratory mutually agreed to by Noramco and Buyer for testing; or, in the event of a dispute related to cGMP, then to a mutually agreed upon third party expert for resolution. Such laboratory will use the test methods contained in the applicable Specifications. The determination as to whether all or part of such API is Nonconforming API by such laboratory or expert, as the case may be, will be final and binding on the Parties absent manifest error. The fees and expenses of the laboratory or expert, as the case may be, incurred in making such determination will be paid by Noramco if the API is determined to be Nonconforming API, and by Buyer in all other cases.

10. SUPPLY ISSUES

10.1 Manufacturing Interruptions. Buyer acknowledges that the day-to-day manufacturing operation of the facilities used by Noramco to produce API(s) may be subject to interruptions, fluctuations, slow-downs, suspensions and reductions in the ordinary course of business due to a variety of reasons (“Manufacturing Interruptions”).If Noramco believes that a Manufacturing Interruption is reasonably likely to result in a material reduction of any API available to be delivered to Buyer, Noramco shall notify Buyer and consult with Buyer about such Manufacturing Interruption prior to or as soon as reasonably possible after the commencement of such Manufacturing Interruption. After any Manufacturing Interruption resulting in a material reduction of any API terminates, Noramco shall promptly communicate to Buyer regarding such Manufacturing Interruption, the reason therefor, the actions taken, and any corrective actions possible to prevent a repeat event.

10.2 Manufacturing Quota Restrictions. Buyer acknowledges that the production and supply of API(s) is contingent upon DEA rules, orders, or directives related to manufacturing quotas for API(s), which may limit or restrict the manufacture or supply of API(s) by Noramco to Noramco’s customers (“Manufacturing Quota Restrictions”).If Noramco believes that a Manufacturing Quota Restriction is reasonably likely to result in a material reduction or suspension of the delivery of an API to Buyer, Noramco shall promptly consult with Buyer to coordinate with respect to their respective obligations, in accordance with Sections 10.4 and 10.5.

10.3 Procurement Quota Restrictions. It is the sole responsibility of Buyer, and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, to obtain Procurement Quota for API(s). Noramco acknowledges that Buyer’s receipt of API manufactured by Noramco is contingent upon DEA rules, orders, or directives related to procurement quotas for API(s) that may limit or restrict Noramco’s customers from receiving API(s) manufactured by Noramco (“Procurement Quota Restrictions”).If Buyer believes that a Procurement Quota Restriction is reasonably likely to result in Buyer’s inability to take delivery of any API from Noramco on the delivery date set forth in the applicable Purchase Order, Buyer shall promptly consult with Noramco to coordinate with respect to their respective obligations, in accordance with Section 10.4.

10.4 Failure to Obtain Quota. Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and plan for the supply and purchase of API(s) against Purchase Orders given in accordance with this Agreement, in anticipation of each Party receiving applicable quota from the DEA. However, in the event that a Party has not obtained the necessary Manufacturing Quota or Procurement Quota, as the case may be, to allow it to perform its obligations under this Agreement, such Party shall promptly inform the other Party in writing. In the event that there is not sufficient Manufacturing Quota or Procurement Quota with respect to an outstanding Purchase Order for an API, such Purchase Order shall nonetheless remain valid and binding upon the Parties;provided, that the Parties shall adjust the delivery date set forth in such Purchase Order for a period not to exceed two (2) months, so as to permit receipt of the necessary Manufacturing Quota or Procurement Quota, as the case may be. In the event that Manufacturing Quota is not received within two (2) months of the originally scheduled API delivery date, then such Purchase Order may be, but is not required to be, cancelled by Buyer by written notice to Noramco. Cancellation of such Purchase Order shall be Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy due to a Manufacturing Quota Restriction. In the event that Buyer has not obtained Procurement Quota within one (1) month of the originally scheduled API delivery date, then such Purchase Order may be, but is not required to be, cancelled by Noramco by written notice to Buyer. Cancellation of such Purchase Order shall be Noramco’s sole and exclusive remedy due to a Procurement Quota Restriction;provided, however that Buyer shall not be relieved of its binding purchase requirement, subject to variance under Section 5.. Alternatively, Noramco may elect, in lieu cancellation, to store such API subject to such Procurement Quota Restriction for a period not to exceed three (3) months after the originally scheduled API delivery date at Buyer’s reasonable expense. If Buyer still has not obtained Procurement Quota by the end of such three (3) month period, Noramco may, in its sole discretion, dispose of such API at Buyer’s reasonable expense and invoice Buyer for full payment for such API under the applicable Purchase Order.

10.5 Allocation and Cooperation. Buyer recognizes that, due to Manufacturing Interruptions or Manufacturing Quota Restrictions, Noramco may produce less API in any given time period than anticipated, and that Noramco may, at its discretion, allocate its available supply of API among its customers, itself, and its Affiliates on such basis as Noramco deems fair and reasonable. Notwithstanding the above, Noramco shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interruptions in the supply of API to Buyer and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate with Buyer to mitigate against the consequences of any shortages related to Manufacturing Interruptions or Manufacturing Quota Restrictions.

10.6 No Liability for Interruptions and Restrictions. Noramco shall not be liable to Buyer for any damage, inconvenience, penalty or other consequence that may arise from any Manufacturing Interruptions, Manufacturing Quota Restrictions or Procurement Quota Restrictions.

11. WARRANTIES; DISCLAIMER

11.1 Noramco Warranties. Noramco hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Buyer that (i) it has the corporate authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; (ii) it is not subject to any legal, contractual or regulatory restriction, limitation or conditions that could reasonably be expected to affect adversely its ability to perform hereunder, subject to Article 8; and (iii) all API sold to Buyer under this Agreement shall, as of tender of delivery in accordance with Section 7.1 from the Noramco facility designated onAppendix A, have been manufactured in accordance with cGMP and conform to the Specifications.

11.2 Buyer Warranties. Buyer hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Noramco that (i) it has the corporate authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; (ii) it is not subject to any legal, contractual or regulatory restriction, limitation or conditions that could reasonably be expected to affect adversely its ability to perform hereunder, subject to Section 8; and (iii) all API supplied to Buyer by Noramco hereunder shall be held, used and disposed of by Buyer in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and Buyer will otherwise comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to Buyer’s performance under this Agreement and its manufacture, distribution and/or sale of Product(s).

11.3 Disclaimer of Warranties. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 9, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR EXTENDS ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, AND THE LIMITED REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 9 ARE THE SOLE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE API(s) AND THE PRODUCT(s) AND ARE MADE EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF AND EXCLUDE ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE UCC AND THE UN CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS.

12. INDEMNIFICATION; LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY; INSURANCE

12.1 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Noramco and each of its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each, a “Noramco Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any liability, loss, costs, damage and/or expense, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’, experts’ and consultants’ fees and disbursements (“Losses”) in connection with any and all suits, investigations (governmental or otherwise), claims, proceedings or demands (each, an “Action”) initiated or filed against a Noramco Indemnitee by a third party to the extent resulting from or arising out of (i) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder by any Buyer Indemnitee (ii) a Buyer Indemnitee’s negligence or willful misconduct or (iii) the manufacture, use or sale of Product by or for Buyer, including in connection with intellectual property or product liability; in each case except to the extent of Noramco’s indemnity obligations pursuant to Section 12.2. In addition, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold the Noramco Indemnitees harmless from and against any Losses to the extent resulting from or arising out of any filings with any regulatory authority (including the FDA) by or for Buyer or any of its Affiliates or licensees, including filings under 21 U.S.C. 355 and/or Section 505 of the U.S. Food and Drug Act, as now or hereafter in effect, or under similar law (including non United States law), and related claims or proceedings (including Losses associated with Noramco’s obligation to respond to third party subpoenas).

12.2 Indemnification by Noramco. Noramco shall indemnify, defend and hold Buyer and each of its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each, a “Buyer Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any Losses in connection with any Action by a third party to the extent resulting from or arising out of (i) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder [(including in the Quality Agreement attached as Appendix C hereto)] by any Noramco Indemnitee or (ii) a Noramco Indemnitee’s negligence or willful misconduct; in each case except to the extent of Buyer’s indemnity obligations pursuant to Section 12.1.

12.3 Indemnification Procedure. Upon the occurrence of an event that entitles a Noramco Indemnitee or a Buyer Indemnitee to indemnification under Section 12.1 or 12.2, respectively, the indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying Party providing reasonable details of the nature of the event and basis of the indemnity claim and further expressly stating therein that it is seeking indemnity pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, and without prejudice to the indemnified Party’s obligation to give prompt written notice, an indemnifying Party’s knowledge of events or circumstances pursuant to which an indemnified Party might seek indemnification, including but not limited to correspondence between the Parties regarding a matter for which indemnity is not expressly sought, shall not constitute the notice required by this provision, and any attorneys, experts or consultant fees or expenses incurred by an indemnified Party prior to proper notice shall be the sole responsibility of such Party;provided, that any failure to give such timely notice shall not bar any indemnification claim unless and to the extent the indemnifying Party shall be or has been materially prejudiced by failure to receive such timely notice. The indemnifying Party will have the right, at its expense and with counsel of its choice, to defend, contest, or otherwise protect against any Action subject to indemnity. The indemnified Party will also have the right, but not the obligation, to participate, at its own expense, in the defense thereof with counsel of its choice. The indemnified Party shall cooperate to the extent reasonably necessary to assist the indemnifying Party in defending, contesting or otherwise protesting against any Action subject to indemnity so long as the reasonable cost in doing so is paid for by the indemnifying Party. If the indemnifying Party fails, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of a notice described in the first sentence of this Section 12.3 (i) to notify the indemnified Party of its intent to defend or (ii) to defend, contest or otherwise protect against any Action subject to indemnity or fails to diligently continue to provide the defense after undertaking to do so, the indemnified Party will have the right, upon ten (10) calendar days’ prior written notice to the indemnifying Party, to defend, settle and satisfy any Action subject to indemnity and recover the costs of the same from the indemnifying Party. No Action subject to indemnity may be settled other than by the Party defending the same, and then only with the consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld;provided, however, that the indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to obtain the consent to any settlement that does not impose on the indemnified Party (including any Buyer Indemnitee or Noramco Indemnitee, as the case may be) any liability or obligation, whether financial or otherwise, and does not admit to any wrongdoing by the indemnified Party (including any Buyer Indemnitee or Noramco Indemnitee, as the case may be).

12.4 No Consequential Damages. Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party for special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages, or lost profits, revenues, anticipated savings, opportunity, business, goodwill or data, even if designated direct damages, whether in contract, warranty, negligence, tort, strict liability or otherwise, even if such Party has been advised of the possibility thereof.

12.5 Limitation on Liability. Noramco’s maximum liability under this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, including its indemnity obligations, shall not exceed the total Price paid to Noramco for the API giving rise to the claim;provided, that the foregoing shall not limit Noramco’s liability for damages arising from its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

12.6 Insurance. Each Party shall, at its own expense, obtain and maintain during the Term and for three (3) years thereafter, insurance on a claims-made basis, in amounts and types that would reasonably be expected to cover any liabilities arising from such Party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement. Such insurance shall be maintained with companies having an A.M. Best’s rating of A- VII or better. Each Party shall provide the other Party, upon request, with certificates of insurance evidencing the insurance hereunder. Each Party shall name the other Party and its officers, directors, employees and agents as additional insureds on all applicable policies of insurance hereunder.

13. CONFIDENTIALITY

13.1 Obligations of Non-Disclosure. Each Party agrees that (i) it will not disclose any Confidential Information to any third party at any time during the Term without the prior written consent of the disclosing Party and (ii) it will not make use of any Confidential Information for any purpose other than the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party may disclose Confidential Information to its Affiliates, and to its and their respective officers, directors, employees, independent contractors, professional consultants (including attorneys and accountants), and agents (“Representatives”), in each case who have a specific need to know such Confidential Information, who are bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least as stringent as those set forth in this Agreement, and who have been made aware of the receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement. The receiving Party shall be liable to the disclosing Party for any breach of this Section 11 caused by the receiving Party’s Representatives.

13.2 Compelled Disclosure. Notwithstanding Section 13.1, either Party may disclose Confidential Information as required by law, regulation or court order or by the listing standards, rules or agreements of any public exchange on which any securities of the receiving Party are listed so long as the receiving Party (i) uses commercially reasonable efforts to give the disclosing Party as much prior notice of such required disclosure as circumstances permit, (ii) allows the disclosing Party to contest such disclosure or to seek a protective order or similar remedy, and reasonably cooperates with the disclosing Party in such efforts, and (iii) limits the disclosure to only the information required to be disclosed. The receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information without notice to any regulatory authority in connection with any routine examination, investigation, regulatory sweep or other regulatory inquiry not specifically targeted to the disclosing Party.

13.3 Ownership. As between the Parties, Confidential Information is and shall remain the property of the disclosing Party, and the disclosing Party shall retain all right, title and interest in and to its Confidential Information. Neither this Agreement nor the disclosure of Confidential Information hereunder grants or implies to the receiving Party any right or license to use or practice any intellectual property of the disclosing Party.

13.4 Return. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, or upon the disclosing Party’s earlier written request, the receiving Party shall immediately cease using all Confidential Information and shall return all Confidential Information to the disclosing Party within thirty (30) calendar days (or, with the disclosing Party’s permission, destroy it and certify as to such destruction), along with all copies and reproductions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the receiving Party may retain a single copy of Confidential Information in the files of its confidential archives or its legal counsel for the purposes of monitoring compliance with the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement and for the purposes of proving what was disclosed, (ii) the receiving Party is not required to return or destroy any Confidential Information if doing so would violate any law, regulation or court order, (c) the receiving Party shall not be required to expunge any minutes or written consents of its board of directors (or equivalent governance body), and (iv) to the extent that the receiving Party’s computer back-up or archiving procedures create copies of Confidential Information, the receiving Party may retain such copies for the period it normally archives backed-up computer records, so long as such copies are not readily accessible and are not used or consulted for any purpose other than disaster recovery. Any Confidential Information retained pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall remain subject to this Agreement until destroyed or no longer deemed Confidential Information based on the exclusions to the definition of Confidential Information.

13.5 Duration. The confidentiality and non-use obligations of this Section 11 shall remain in effect throughout the Term and for a period of five (5) years thereafter;provided, that Confidential Information that is otherwise protected by law or regulation (e.g., trade secret and data privacy) shall remain protected as, and for as long as, such law or regulation requires.

14. INtellectual Property

14.1 Proprietary IP. For purposes of this Agreement: (i) all intellectual property owned by a Party or any of its Affiliates as of the Effective Date shall be deemed owned by such Party; (ii) all intellectual property licensed to a Party or any of its Affiliates by a third party at any time during the Term shall be deemed owned by such Party; and (iii) all intellectual property generated, conceived or reduced to practice by or for a Party or any of its Affiliates outside the scope of activities under this Agreement shall be deemed owned by such Party (the foregoing collectively, a Party’s “Proprietary IP”).

14.2 Inventions. All Inventions, to the extent (i) specific to the development, manufacture, use or sale of any Product(s) or (ii) dependent on Buyer’s Proprietary IP, shall be the exclusive property of Buyer. All other Inventions shall be the joint property of Buyer and Noramco. The Parties shall cooperate to achieve the allocation of rights to Inventions anticipated herein. Each Party shall be solely responsible for the costs of filing, prosecution and maintenance of patents and patent applications on, and otherwise protecting, its Inventions.

14.3 Licenses. Buyer hereby grants to Noramco a non-exclusive, paid-up, royalty-free, non-transferable, sublicensable (solely to Noramco’s subcontractors), license during the Term to use any intellectual property (including Buyer’s Inventions pursuant to Section 14.2) necessary for the performance of Noramco’s obligations under this Agreement, including any Buyer-provided Specifications.

14.4 Infringement. If Noramco’s process of manufacture of an API becomes or is likely to become the subject of an infringement claim or action, Noramco shall notify Buyer of such infringement claim or action (or potential claim or action) within 10 days. If Noramco’s process of manufacture of an API becomes or is likely to become the subject of an infringement claim or action, Noramco may, in its sole discretion, (i) procure, at a cost to be reasonably allocated between the Parties, the right to use the applicable intellectual property in the process for manufacture of such API, (ii) change the process of manufacture with the intent of overcoming such allegation of infringement or (iii) if, in Noramco’s sole discretion, neither (i) nor (ii) above are commercially reasonable, terminate this Agreement. If Noramco’s process of manufacture of an API becomes the subject of an infringement claim or action and Buyer determines, in its sole discretion, that its supply of API may be threatened, Buyer may (i) terminate this agreement, or (ii) notwithstanding the exclusive nature of this Agreement, enter into a contract with an alternative provider of API. The foregoing, together with any right to indemnity pursuant to Section 12.2 shall be Buyer’s sole remedy in respect of any breach of the warranty set forth in Section 11.1(iii).

15. TERM AND TERMINATION

15.1 Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall expire five (5) years after commercialization of first and second generation Products unless sooner terminated as expressly provided for in this Agreement.

15.3 Termination for Bankruptcy. Either Party may terminate this Agreement without prior notice to the other upon the occurrence of any of the following involving the other Party:

(a) that other Party files a petition seeking an order for relief under the Federal Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code), as now or hereafter in effect, or under similar law (including non United States law), or files a petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization or for an arrangement pursuant to any state bankruptcy law or any similar state law (including non United States law); or

(d) if that other Party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due.

15.4 Other Termination Rights. Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice as provided in Section 18.2; and Noramco may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Buyer as provided in Section 14.4.

15.5 Obligations on Termination. Any expiration or termination of this Agreement does not release the Parties from any liabilities or obligations that accrued as of the date thereof. In addition, the obligations undertaken by each Party under Sections 3.2.1, 6.1, 6.4 through 6.7, 11.3, and 15.5, as well as Sections 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, and 16 through 27 (excluding 24.2), shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement indefinitely or for such shorter period as is provided in such Sections.

18.1 Force Majeure Events. Neither Party will be liable for non-performance or delay in the fulfillment of its obligations when that non-performance or delay is occasioned by any cause beyond the reasonable control of such Party, including without limitation, acts of God, fire, flood, earthquakes, explosions, sabotage, strikes, or labor disturbances (regardless of the reasonableness of the demands of the labor force), civil commotion, riots, military invasions, wars, failure of utilities, failure of carriers, inability to obtain any required raw material, energy source, equipment, labor or transportation, at prices and on terms Noramco deems practicable from its usual sources of supply or any acts, restraints, requisitions, regulations, or directives issued by a competent government authority, including changes in law or regulation (“Force Majeure Events");provided, that a Force Majeure Event shall never excuse a Party from paying any sum of money owed under the terms of this Agreement.

19. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; MODIFICATION

This Agreement, including the appendices hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements, dealings and writings between the Parties that relate to the matters covered herein. Any terms and conditions of an invoice, acknowledgement or similar document provided by Noramco for API, or any terms and conditions of purchase orders or similar document provided by Buyer for API which are inconsistent with or in addition to the terms of this Agreement shall be null and void. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Quality Agreement set forth inAppendix C, this Agreement shall prevail. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement may not be amended or modified except in writing executed by the duly authorized representatives of both Parties.

20. WAIVER

No waiver of a breach or default hereunder will be considered valid unless in writing and signed by the Party giving that waiver, and no waiver will be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of the same or similar nature.

21. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

21.1 Mediation. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including any such controversy or claim involving any Affiliate of any Party (a “Dispute”), shall first be submitted to non-binding mediation according to theCommercial Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (seewww.adr.org). Such mediation shall be attended on behalf of each Party for at least one session by a senior business person with authority to resolve the Dispute. Any period of limitations that would otherwise expire between the initiation of a mediation and its conclusion shall be extended until twenty (20) calendar days after the conclusion of the mediation.

21.2 Arbitration. Any Dispute that cannot be resolved by mediation within forty-five (45) calendar days of notice by one party to the other of the existence of a Dispute (unless the Parties agree to extend that period) shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with theCommercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA (“AAA Rules”;seewww.adr.org) and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.. The arbitration shall be conducted in Delaware, by one arbitrator appointed in accordance with the AAA Rules.

21.3 Limited Discovery. The arbitrator shall follow theICDR Guidelines for Arbitrators Concerning Exchanges of Information in managing and ruling on requests for discovery. The arbitrator, by accepting appointment, undertakes to exert her or his best efforts to conduct the process so as to issue an award within eight (8) months of her or his appointment;provided, that failure to meet that timetable shall not affect the validity of the award.

21.4 Governing Law. The arbitrator shall decide the Dispute in accordance with the substantive law of Delaware. All documents and proceedings in connection with any Dispute shall be in the English language.

21.5 Awards. The arbitrator may not award any damages inconsistent with Section 10, nor may the arbitrator apply any multiplier to any award of actual damages, except as may be required by statute. The Party that prevails in any Dispute resolution proceeding shall have the right to recover from the other Party its costs and expenses incurred in such Dispute, including reasonable fees for attorneys, expert witnesses and court costs, in addition to any other relief awarded. The award of the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

21.6 Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 19, in connection with any actual or threatened breach of Section 11, the parties acknowledge and agree that, due to the unique nature of the Confidential Information, a breach of Section 11 may cause irreparable damage to the disclosing Party for which monetary damages would be inadequate. Accordingly, the disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief or other remedies from any court of competent jurisdiction, and the Parties waive the requirement of any bond being posted as security in any application for such relief.

22. SEVERABILITY

Should any part or provision of this Agreement be held unenforceable or in conflict with applicable law, the invalid or unenforceable part or provision will, provided that it does not go to the essence of this Agreement, be replaced with a revision that accomplishes, to the extent possible, the original commercial purpose of that part or provision in a valid and enforceable manner, and the balance of this Agreement remains in full force and effect and binding upon the Parties.

23. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

This Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by a Party without the prior written consent of the other Party;provided, that either Party may, without such consent, but with notice to the other Party, assign this Agreement, in whole, (i) in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or the line of business for the API or Product to which this Agreement relates, (ii) to a successor entity or acquirer in the event of a merger, consolidation or change of control, or (iii) to any Affiliate. Any purported assignment in violation of the preceding sentence will be void. Any permitted assignee will assume the rights and obligations of its assignor under this Agreement.
