Written acceptance of a batch of the applicable Product is required as a condition to the delivery of Product to Cutanea’s designated shipping agent in accordance with Section 3. If for any reason Supplier does not receive any such notification within such two (2) Business Day period, Supplier will promptly notify CUTANEA of such fact and CUTANEA will as soon as practicable and, in any event within another two (2) Business Days thereafter provide such written notice to Supplier and be responsible for any storage or similar charges that Supplier may incur for not delivering such Product. The lack of reception of such written acceptance within the second two (2) Business Day period shall be deemed as the batch is accepted. If, once the Product is delivered, CUTANEA determines that there is any deficiency with respect to any Product, CUTANEA will notify Xxxxxx of such claim within fifteen (15) Business Days of delivery of the Products. Each such notice of rejection to Supplier shall specify in reasonable detail the ways in which the Product batch failed to meet Specifications. CUTANEA shall grant to Supplier (or its designee) the right to inspect or test said Product batch and dispute CUTANEA rejection according to the provisions provided in this Section 2.6.

The costs arising from the laboratory’s intervention and the costs of the replaced Products (including return and destruction costs of the defective Products) shall be borne by the Party whose results were mistaken. As to any such Product batch which is determined to fail the Specifications (“Rejected Product”), CUTANEA shall have no obligation to pay for such Rejected Product and Supplier shall replace such Rejected Product as soon as possible and no later than ninety (90) days thereafter.

2.6.2 In the event of a conflict between the test results of Supplier and the test results of CUTANEA with respect to any shipment of Product batch, within thirty (30) days following receipt by Supplier of CUTANEA’s notice of rejection, sample of such Product batch shall be submitted by Supplier (and/or its nominee) to an independent laboratory designated by Supplier (and/or its nominee) and reasonably acceptable to CUTANEA, which shall perform an assessment and whose findings shall be conclusive. The cost of the assessment shall be borne by (i) CUTANEA if the findings indicate the Product met all Specifications or (ii) Supplier (or its nominee) if the findings indicate the Product failed to meet any Specifications.

2.8 Quality Agreement.

The Parties shall enter into a Quality Agreement for the Products. If there is any conflict between this Agreement and the Quality Agreement solely with respect to quality assurance matters, the Quality Agreement will prevail, and with respect to all other matters, this Agreement will prevail.

2.9 Pharmacovigilance Agreement.

The Parties shall enter into a pharmacovigilance agreement with respect to the Products (the “Pharmacovigilance Agreement”).

Supplier. CUTANEA shall be entitled to propose to Supplier such alternate sources of supply if Supplier has not taken any steps to qualify such alternate supplier before the Failure to Supply, and Supplier shall evaluate in good faith the proposal from CUTANEA. Should the Parties agree to such qualification as a remedy to a Failure to Supply, then Supplier will grant any necessary licenses and conducting technology transfer as reasonably necessary to enable such alternate supplier to Manufacture the Product during Supplier’s Failure to Supply.

2.10.2 If Supplier fails to supply all or part of any shipment of Products ordered by CUTANEA on the delivery date specified on the applicable purchase order for such shipment, in addition to any other remedies the CUTANEA may have, CUTANEA at its sole discretion, may require Supplier to supply the undelivered Products at a future date agreed upon by CUTANEA and Supplier, but nonetheless such Products shall count toward any binding purchase obligation of CUTANEA, whether as part of the Forecast or otherwise.

Schedule A

Capitalized terms in this Exhibit A are defined in LSA.

The initial purchase price for trade units of the Products shall be set at $[***] per [***] sample tube of the Product, $[***] per [***] trade unit of the Product, $[***] per [***] trade unit of the Product, and $[***] per [***] trade unit of the Product, FCA manufacturing site (the “Supply Unit Price”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, after December 31, 2018 and during the term of this Agreement, Xxxxxx may change its Supply Unit Price on any or all the Products from time to time, but no more than once annually, based on documented actual increases to Xxxxxx’x direct manufacturing and labor (but specifically excluding overhead) costs (or those charged by its nominee), provided that Xxxxxx furnishes the Company with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any such change. The increase shall apply to any order received by Xxxxxx after the communication date of the increase. In the event that the new Supply Unit Price for the Products may make the business not feasible, the Parties, in good faith and through the Joint Steering Committee, agree to meet and negotiate in good faith an alternative solution.

The purchase price for the Products shall be paid in US Dollars by the Company and such payment terms shall be [***] following the date that the Products are received and accepted (as per Article 4.4 of the LSA) by the Company, by wire transfer into an account designated by Xxxxxx. Invoices shall be generated upon shipment of Product from Supplier. Invoices should be sent by email to the following address: xxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx. Failure to send invoices to the email address provided herein may cause a delay in approval and payment. In the event that the Company does not fulfill such terms, Parties agree to discuss in good faith alternative payment conditions. In case there is not an agreement between the Parties after 30 days, Xxxxxx will accept an irrevocable and guaranteed letter of credit payable as term of payment.

Additionally, Parties agree to share exchange EUR/ USD rate fluctuations covering the payment of royalties. More concretely, within the first 30 days after every calendar year, Xxxxxx will calculate the average annual EUR/USD rate based on the EUR/USD rates published in the Financial Times the last business day of every month. Such EUR/USD average rate will be compared with the rate applied in every invoice during the year. If, as a result of this reconciliation, there arises a difference above or under [***]%, Parties agree to share the resulting amount on an equitable basis (50%). Xxxxxx will report the reconciliation to the Company for its acceptance and, after 15 business days, issue an invoice which will be debited/credited in the next 30 days by wire transfer into the accounts designated by the Parties.
