Page 6 of 31



3.1.    Technology Transfer. The Parties acknowledge that the CUSTOMER Technology required for the Manufacturing of the Product was transferred by CUSTOMER to EQ under the applicable process validation pursuant to the Master Services Agreement. During the Term of this Agreement, CUSTOMER shall transfer to EQ all CUSTOMER Technology newly developed or obtained by or on behalf of CUSTOMER and which may be required for the Manufacturing of the Product. Any CUSTOMER Technology transferred to EQ for the Manufacturing of the Product has been and shall be generated in compliance with any Applicable Law, and shall be true, complete and correct in all material respects.

3.2.    Changes to the Manufacturing Process or Specifications. Any change to the Manufacturing Process or Specifications must be approved in accordance to the Quality Agreement, irrespective of whether the change is proposed by either Party or becomes mandatory under any Applicable Law.
    
    Before approving and implementing any such change, the Parties will negotiate in good faith and agree on the allocation of any resulting cost savings or incremental additional costs to be incurred. As a general rule, the Party proposing such change shall bear any resulting incremental additional costs but account shall also be taken of the benefits or advantages that any such change may report to the other Party. However, in case of changes that become mandatory under any Applicable Law and applicable solely to CUSTOMER Product or Specifications, CUSTOMER shall bear all resulting additional costs. In the circumstance that such changes apply to all process and customers at the facility, CUSTOMER shall bear the resulting additional costs proportionally.

4.    Forecast. Delays and Cancellation fees.

4.1.    Forecasts. During the Term, on the [***] of each quarter of calendar year, CUSTOMER shall provide EQ with a rolling [***]forecast (“Rolling Forecast”) for API INS1007 indicating its expected needs of Product for each quarter going forward. The [***] period nearest the date of the Rolling Forecast shall be binding on CUSTOMER (“Binding Forecast”). The remaining [***] will be projected in good faith but will remain non-binding for each Party (“Non-binding Forecast”). The first initial Rolling Forecast is attached hereto as Schedule 2, and the first update will be due on the [***] of the first calendar quarter following Effective Date of this Agreement.

EQ shall respond to each Rolling Forecast in writing or electronically with [***] of receipt (a business day for such purpose being a day in which banks are generally open to the public in the city of Barcelona, Spain). Its response shall either confirm the quantity of Product and the date for delivery, or suggest amendments in the volume of Product to be supplied and/or the timing of delivery, in which case the relevant planning personnel from each Party will use reasonable efforts to agree and confirm any necessary changes, and following which CUSTOMER shall issue a revised Rolling Forecast reflecting the agreed changes to which EQ shall confirm within [***] (as such term is defined above in this paragraph).
    
Page 7 of 31



4.2.    Binding Forecast. EQ shall review the Rolling Forecast and assess if it is able to Manufacture or otherwise supply all CUSTOMER needs for Product in accordance with the Non-Binding and Binding Forecast periods. For the avoidance of doubt, the Binding Forecast is only binding on the CUSTOMER and it is not binding on EQ. CUSTOMER will issue a Purchase Order according to the Binding Forecast within [***] of EQ’s written confirmation of the Binding Forecast to CUSTOMER. Upon receipt of such Purchase Order, the Binding Forecast and Purchase Order become binding on EQ. EQ shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy any changes in quantity, delivery phasing or dates requested by CUSTOMER in respect of any Binding Forecast or any order for additional Product at no additional cost to CUSTOMER (save the cost of the additional Product and any reasonable costs incurred by EQ, reasonably evidenced to the CUSTOMER, directly related with the change requested by CUSTOMER). Any Purchase Order for additional Product confirmed by EQ pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be deemed to be a Binding Forecast.

In the event that, upon receipt of a Rolling Forecast, EQ anticipates that it shall not be able to Manufacture all needs for Product if Customer were to place Purchase Orders for all of the Rolling Forecast amounts, EQ shall inform Customer in writing. Customer shall then be entitled to obtain from alternative suppliers the amount of Product which EQ has indicated that it would not be able to supply, and EQ shall provide reasonable technology transfer and other assistance to enable such alternative suppliers to Manufacture such Product (provided, however, that EQ shall not transfer any patented or otherwise registered technology licensed by Third Parties or belonging to EQ, nor any confidential know-how or information of EQ or of Third Parties, except for its use only to the extent necessary for the Manufacture of Product for CUSTOMER and in the amounts of Product that EQ is not able to Manufacture as indicted in this paragraph). In such case, following CUSTOMER written request, EQ will
commence and use commercially reasonable efforts to timely (i) provide to a Third Party designated by CUSTOMER ("Third Party Manufacturer"), a copy of documentation, data, know-how and information used by EQ to Manufacture Product in accordance with the Specifications and Applicable Law, including Product IP, EQ Project IP, and Joint Project IP to the extent included in the Manufacturing process, and (ii) provide such Third Party Manufacturer reasonable technical assistance, test methods and cooperation by appropriate employees of EQ to assist such Third Party Manufacturer in Manufacturing a first batch of Product in accordance with the Specifications (collectively, the "Technology Transfer"). The process for such Technology Transfer will be set forth in a written plan mutually agreed to by the Parties.
4.3.    Non-Binding Forecasts. Non-Binding Forecasts given by CUSTOMER shall be made in good faith, using the degree of diligence that CUSTOMER would apply in the event that CUSTOMER would Manufacture or otherwise supply the Product itself. In the event that CUSTOMER requires additional Product during the period covered the Binding Forecast but that was not included in the applicable Binding Forecast, EQ will use commercial reasonable efforts to fulfill the additional Product requirement of CUSTOMER, without having an obligation.

Page 8 of 31



4.4.    Delays. The Parties are responsible for fully meeting all obligations set forth in this Agreement and each particular Purchase Order, and for providing their activities in accordance with the timeline agreed in each Purchase Order.

    The Parties shall closely monitor progress of each deliverable per each particular Purchase Order and shall notify the other Party in writing whenever there are possible delays and likely effect on the overall period of the Manufacturing of the Product.

4.4.1. Delays of EQ: If EQ is delayed in the performance of its activities, and such delay is caused by EQ, its Affiliates or subcontractors, EQ shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of time agreed between the Parties in writing. EQ shall also propose to CUSTOMER recovery actions to be taken by EQ to regain the original schedule. If the Manufacturing of the Product or the recovery actions are still not performed by EQ after the extension period, CUSTOMER shall be entitled to cancel the Purchase Order. In case of cancellation of the Purchase Order, the price for any raw materials purchased by EQ or committed, where such raw materials cannot be reused for future deliveries and other non-cancellable expenses incurred by EQ for the Manufacturing of the Product shall be paid by CUSTOMER.

Notwithstanding, EQ shall make commercially reasonable efforts to alleviate such a delay or failure to meet delivery timeline, including but not limited to priority placement of CUSTOMER’s Manufacturing to regain original delivery timeline. Notwithstanding such efforts, CUSTOMER does not waive its available rights to recover direct damages in accordance with Section 14.

        4.4.2. Delays or Cancellation by Customer: If the Manufacturing of the Product is delayed or cancelled due to Customer's decision or primarily attributable to Customer’s fault or for a reason attributable to Customer, the following penalties shall apply to Customer.

    Without prejudice to the conditions set forth below, in case of delays attributable to CUSTOMER, EQ shall be entitled to plan a new schedule for the Manufacturing of the Product based on its internal possibilities, capacities and plans, as EQ deems appropriate and as commercially reasonable.
 
(i) Penalties in case of delays attributable to CUSTOMER: In case of delays communicated by the CUSTOMER or occurring as a consequence of a reason attributable to CUSTOMER a delay fee will be charged to CUSTOMER at the time the initial delivery was scheduled as follows:

If communication from CUSTOMER to EQ occurs within a period of between [***] and [***]prior to the initially agreed start date, the delay fee shall be [***]% of the total value of the Conversion Costs corresponding to the relevant Purchase Order.

Page 9 of 31



If communication from CUSTOMER to EQ occurs within [***] or less prior to the initially agreed start date, the delay fee shall be [***]% of the total value of the Conversion Costs corresponding to the relevant Purchase Order.

(ii) Cancellation fees: In case a cancellation of a Purchase Order is communicated by the CUSTOMER to EQ or occurs as a consequence of a reason attributable to CUSTOMER, a cancellation fee will be charged to CUSTOMER at the time the initial delivery was scheduled as follows:

a.     If the cancellation is communicated by CUSTOMER between [***] and [***] prior to the initially scheduled start date, the cancellation fee shall be [***]% of the total value of the Conversion Costs corresponding to the relevant Purchase Order for the cancelled activities;

b.     If the cancellation is communicated by CUSTOMER less than [***]prior to the     initially scheduled start date, the cancellation fee shall be the total value of the Conversion Costs     corresponding to the relevant Purchase Order for the cancelled activities.

In all cancellation cases, in addition to the applicable cancellation fee, the price for any raw materials purchased or committed, where raw material cannot be reused for current Purchase Order for future deliveries or anticipated Rolling Forecast, and other non-cancellable expenses incurred by EQ for the Manufacturing of the Product shall be paid by CUSTOMER.

5.    Purchase Orders.

5.1.    Throughout the Term, CUSTOMER shall place Purchase Orders covering all the quantities of Product contained in the Binding Forecast. CUSTOMER or its Affiliate shall issue Purchase Orders that include timelines for delivery and quantity of Product to be supplied by EQ, the destination and such other details as may be agreed to by the Parties in writing. In the event that the Purchase Order includes CUSTOMER’s terms and conditions, the same shall not apply to the contractual relationship between EQ and CUSTOMER, which is governed exclusively by the conditions of this Agreement and its Schedules. In case of any conflict between the conditions of the Purchase Order and this Agreement, the conditions of this Agreement will prevail, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Parties.

5.2.    Thereafter, CUSTOMER will issue a Purchase Order with each Rolling Forecast that covers the new calendar quarter added to the Binding Forecast. Each Purchase Order will be confirmatory of, and supplemental to, the Binding Forecast rather than creating a new legal obligation.

5.3.    No Purchase Order placed by CUSTOMER shall be deemed accepted and binding on EQ until EQ’s express acceptance of the Binding Forecast in accordance with Clause 4.2.

5.4.    EQ shall deliver the Product within the term agreed by the Parties in the corresponding Purchase Order.
Page 10 of 31




5.5.    Purchase Orders that have been accepted by both Parties shall be firm and binding and may not be cancelled, neither totally nor partially, unless both Parties agree to such cancellation in writing. Any change on any Purchase Order shall require the prior written agreement of EQ and CUSTOMER and a Change Order. For the avoidance of doubt, even if CUSTOMER fails to deliver the Purchase Order as set out in this Agreement, the CUSTOMER is still obliged to comply with the Binding Forecast.

5.6.    EQ shall not be liable for any delay in the Manufacturing the Product when such delay is due to circumstances controlled by CUSTOMER (e.g. not being provided with CUSTOMER Materials, CUSTOMER Equipment or CUSTOMER Technology, as required to Manufacture the Product) or due to circumstances not controlled by EQ (e.g. the fact that EQ may have rejected any other materials required for the Manufacturing of the Products from any of its suppliers due to quality defects; or that any Third Party taking any action against EQ which may impede EQ to Manufacture the Product). EQ shall promptly inform CUSTOMER in writing of any circumstance which may cause delays in the Manufacturing the Product and both Parties will make commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of any delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CUSTOMER shall be entitled to take actions set forth in Section 4.4.1 in the event of EQ delay in the Manufacturing the Product.

6.    Supply of Materials.

6.1.    EQ will supply all materials to be used by EQ under a Purchase Order except for CUSTOMER Materials, which shall be delivered by CUSTOMER at EQ Facility at no cost for EQ. Any and all costs assumed by EQ due to the import, transport or delivery for CUSTOMER Materials shall be invoiced to CUSTOMER with an estimate of such costs being provided to CUSTOMER in advance of CUSTOMER’s issuance of Purchase Order followed by EQ delivery of the corresponding invoice with final costs included.
    
EQ will maintain at all times at least enough inventory of key raw materials to meet [***]% of the CUSTOMER requirements for the Binding Forecast, rounded up to the next full batch size of PRODUCT, provided that CUSTOMER will provide the corresponding Purchase Order for this additional quantity of inventory of key raw materials, not covered by Binding Forecast period requirements, prior to its purchase. EQ will invoice this to CUSTOMER, at least, once per year, in case the materials are not intended to be used in the following production as per Binding Forecast. This additional inventory will be purchased based on EQ internal purchase planning calendar illustrated in Schedule 3, where end to end activities to produce the Product are written.

Page 11 of 31



For the avoidance of doubt, although EQ will store enough inventories of key raw materials to meet [***]% of the CUSTOMER requirements, manufacturing of additional quantities of Product will be governed by Clause 4.2. of this Agreement.

6.2.    If agreed by the Parties, CUSTOMER or its designees will provide EQ with the CUSTOMER Materials. EQ agrees (a) not to provide CUSTOMER Materials to any Third Party without the express prior written consent of CUSTOMER; (b) not to use CUSTOMER Materials for any purpose other than the Manufacturing of the Product. EQ shall destroy or return to CUSTOMER at CUSTOMER’s cost and expense, all unused quantities of CUSTOMER Materials according to CUSTOMER’s indications which shall not be unreasonably rejected by EQ.

6.3.    CUSTOMER will at all times retain title to and ownership of the CUSTOMER Materials, but EQ shall accept custody upon receipt of any CUSTOMER Materials and bear responsibility for their care, storage, and use. EQ will provide within the Facility an area where the CUSTOMER Materials and the Product are segregated and stored in accordance with the Specifications and cGMP, and in such a way as to be able to distinguish such CUSTOMER Materials and Product from other products and materials belonging to EQ, or held by it for a Third Party. EQ will immediately notify CUSTOMER if at any time it believes any CUSTOMER Materials, the Product, or any intermediates or components of CUSTOMER Materials or Product, have been damaged, lost or stolen.

6.4.    CUSTOMER shall be responsible for delivery of the CUSTOMER Materials DDP (Incoterms 2020) at the Facility. If applicable, EQ shall provide CUSTOMER with reasonable assistance to obtain and maintain any necessary import approvals, licenses and customs clearance applications, forms and other correspondence in connection with the delivery of the CUSTOMER Materials.

6.5.    CUSTOMER will ensure that CUSTOMER Materials, if any, are delivered according to the timelines set forth in the Purchase Order and that such CUSTOMER Materials meet with specifications. Prior to using any CUSTOMER Materials, EQ will review and test them against specifications, unless pre-approved or prequalified by CUSTOMER or EQ.

7.    Delivery and Acceptance Process.

7.1.    Delivery. If, based upon the review performed by EQ, a Batch of Product conforms to the Specifications and was Manufactured according to cGMP and the Manufacturing Process, then a Certificate of Compliance will be completed and EQ shall notify to CUSTOMER that the Product has been cleared for delivery, and EQ shall issue the corresponding invoice. Together with such notice, EQ will deliver the Batch Documentation to CUSTOMER. Upon receipt of Batch Documentation, CUSTOMER will have [***] to review and release the Product. In this respect, EQ will deliver Product to CUSTOMER in the name
Page 12 of 31



and on behalf of the CUSTOMER and at the CUSTOMER’s risk and cost, within the term set forth in the applicable Purchase Order, or such other date as that may be agreed to in writing by the Parties from time to time. During this period, CUSTOMER has the right to request reasonable additional clarifying information which EQ shall provide promptly if available to EQ. When clearing any Product for delivery, EQ shall do so in accordance with the instructions for shipping and packaging specified in the applicable Purchase Order accepted by the Parties or as otherwise agreed to by the Parties in the Quality Agreement. 

7.2.    Delivery terms. Deliveries of Product will be made Free Carrier Facility (FCA) (Incoterms 2020). As soon as reasonably practicable from the date in which EQ has communicated to CUSTOMER that the Product is cleared for delivery, but except as otherwise specifically agreed by the Parties, within [***]from the date of issuance of the corresponding undisputed invoice, EQ will deliver the Product to CUSTOMER by placing them at the disposal of CUSTOMER at the agreed point in the applicable Purchase Order.

7.3.    Title. As an exception to articles A3 and B3 of FCA Incoterm 2020, title to Product shall pass to CUSTOMER upon [***]. EQ shall be responsible for risk of loss or damage of Product within [***] from the date of issuance of the corresponding undisputed invoice to CUSTOMER or until pick-up by CUSTOMER, whichever occurs first. If Product is not picked up by CUSTOMER within [***] from issuance of the corresponding undisputed invoice, the Parties will arrange for appropriate storage of Product.

7.4.    Review of Product. CUSTOMER will review the Product upon receipt and test it against the Specifications and will notify EQ in writing of its acceptance or rejection of such Batch as promptly as possible after its receipt. If CUSTOMER intends to reject a Batch on the grounds of non-conformity to the Specifications or damaged or incorrect packaging, CUSTOMER shall notify such rejection to EQ in writing within [***] from receipt of the Batch by CUSTOMER (or from discovery in case of latent defects not reasonably discoverable by CUSTOMER when reviewing the Product upon receipt and testing it against the Specifications) and to be accompanied by a sample of the Product analyzed by CUSTOMER and with all relevant documentation regarding such analysis, including but not limited to the certificate of analysis and a report indicating the methods used by CUSTOMER. If CUSTOMER does not report the failure within such period of [***] from receipt of the Batch (or from discovery in case of latent defects not reasonably discoverable by CUSTOMER when reviewing the Product upon receipt and testing it against the Specifications), such Batch shall be deemed to have been accepted by CUSTOMER as conforming to the applicable Specifications and CUSTOMER will not be entitled to exercise the remedies indicated in Clause 7.6. in relation to such delivered Product.

7.5.    Disputes. In case of any disagreement between the Parties regarding acceptance of delivery or as to whether any Batch or Product conforms to the Specifications, the quality assurance representatives of the Parties will attempt to resolve any such disagreement in good faith. If the disagreement is not resolved in a reasonable time (which will not exceed [***] from notice), a representative sample of the Product and/or relevant documentation will be submitted for tests and final determination to an independent testing laboratory of recognized standing in the industry and agreed upon by the Parties or, failing such agreement, to the testing laboratory of Instituto Químico de Sarrià (Barcelona, Spain).
Page 13 of 31



Such laboratory will use the test methods contained in the applicable Specifications. The determination of conformance by such laboratory will be final and binding on the Parties with regard to conformation to the Specification. The fees and expenses of the laboratory will be paid by the Party against whom the determination is made.

7.6.    Product Non-Compliance and Remedies. If a Batch of Product fails to conform to the Specifications, and provided that such failure is directly attributable to EQ meaning it existed when the Product was delivered by EQ and it was caused by EQ’s failure to comply with its responsibilities under this Agreement; then (save in respect of any claims by Third Parties, which shall be subject to the limit set forth below in this Agreement) EQ's liability shall be limited to (i) reworking or reprocessing the Product, at EQ’s cost and expense, so that the Batch can conform to Specifications and according to Applicable Law, (ii) refunding in full the price paid by CUSTOMER for such Batch; or (iii) at EQ’s cost and expense, Manufacturing and supply to CUSTOMER a new Batch of Product (in the same quantity as the Batch that has been deemed to be non-conforming) as soon as commercially reasonably possible. In the event that the Batch cannot be released, but the failure is not determined attributable to EQ, meaning the failure did not exist when the Product was delivered by EQ and it was not caused by EQ’s failure to comply with its responsibilities under this Agreement, CUSTOMER shall pay the price of such Batch. The Parties will negotiate, in good faith, which option is the more reasonable one in each particular case taking into account all relevant circumstances, and when so doing they shall attempt to mitigate the inconveniences resulting from the situation for both of them. The remedies in this Clause are exclusive and CUSTOMER may not seek any other rights or remedy.

7.7.    Disposition of Non-Conforming Product. The ultimate disposition of non-conforming Product, which shall be carried out in accordance with Applicable Law, will be the responsibility of CUSTOMER’s quality assurance department. The costs associated with the disposal of any non-conforming Product directly attributable to EQ shall be borne by EQ.

8.    Subcontracting.

The Parties agree that EQ may subcontract the performance of specific obligations of EQ under a Purchase Order to a qualified Third Party, prior written communication to CUSTOMER and with CUSTOMER’s prior consent; provided, that (a) such Third Party performs those activities in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (b) EQ remains liable for the performance of such Third Party. Further details regarding subcontractors and expectations shall be included in the Quality Agreement.

9.    Quality Agreement.

If any provision of this Agreement is found by such an authority to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, such provision will be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision and the intent of the Parties, within the limits of applicable law.

16.9.     Governing Law. This Agreement and any disputes arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and governed by the laws of United Kingdom without regard to any choice of law principle that would require the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

16.10.        Jurisdiction. If any dispute arises between the Parties with respect to the effects, interpretation or the Parties’ obligations established in the Agreement, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement for a remedy within [***] of the Parties’ becoming aware of such dispute. If the Parties are unable to reach an agreement within the aforementioned period, to settle any dispute in connection with the Agreement both Parties agree to submit to the Tribunals and Courts of the city of London, England, expressly waiving their right to any other jurisdiction they might otherwise be entitled. This does not prejudice the right of any of the Parties to submit the dispute to any other competent court or tribunal, in order to apply for the adoption of precautionary measures.

16.11.    Waivers. Any delay in enforcing a Party’s rights under this Agreement, or any waiver as to a particular default or other matter, will not constitute a waiver of such party’s rights to the future enforcement of its rights under this Agreement.

16.12. Protection of Personal Data. Each party will comply with its own duties and obligations regarding data protection concerning the processing of personal data required for the performance and management of this Agreement in accordance with all applicable data protection laws.

    EQ is the data controller of the following data: a) those of the legal representatives and and/or proxies of CUSTOMER, whose data are included in this Agreement and related documents; and b) those of the persons who, while providing the services for the CUSTOMER, come into contact with EQ (items (a) and (b) are collectively referred to as “Contact Data”) in order to enable the maintenance, development and management of the contractual relationship between EQ and CUSTOMER.

    In compliance with the provisions of the applicable regulations on personal data protection, the personal data indicated above will be processed by EQ for the maintenance, development and management of the contractual relationship. The data processed for this purpose will be stored for the duration of this relationship and, once it has ended, for the storage and liability periods provided for in law. The legal basis for data processing in relation to the contact persons, whether legal representatives and/or proxies or persons providing services for the CUSTOMER, is EQ’s legitimate interest in contacting the CUSTOMER through these persons.

    Personal data will not be transferred by EQ for use by third parties unless EQ has obtained the consent of the data subject or when legally required. Likewise, during the course of EQ’s activities, it may be necessary for EQ to provide access to personal data to other companies in the Esteve group (see the group companies at www.esteve.com/es/aviso-legal), which support EQ in the services EQ offers to CUSTOMER. The data may be disclosed to the following categories of specialized providers that help EQ provide its services and are considered data processors: providers of electronic communications, office automation, hosting, housing, computer maintenance, administrative processing, accounting, auditing, consulting and legal representation, among others.

    The data may also be transferred and processed outside the European Economic Area (EEA), to countries whose level of data protection may be lower than that of European countries. In such cases,

EQ will adopt adequate security guarantees for the international transfer of personal data, for example by entering into specific agreements with the importer of such data. Data subjects may exercise their rights to access, rectification, erasure, limitation on data processing, data portability and objection with EQ, under the terms established in the applicable laws and regulations. To exercise these rights, the data subject can send a written request to Esteve Química, S.A., Passeig de la Zona Franca, 109, 4ª Planta, 08038, Barcelona (Att.: Data Protection Officer) or an email to [***].
