[***] prior to such delivery dates. Purchase orders become binding upon Acknowledgement of Supplier.

3.11.5

Acknowledgement/Rejection of Purchase Orders. Promptly (but not later than [***]) following receipt of a purchase order that complies with the forecasting provisions of this Article 3.11, Supplier shall issue a written acknowledgement (“Acknowledgement”) that it accepts such purchase order.

Supplier may reject any purchase order in excess of its supply obligation per the relevant Firm Commitment as set forth in Article 3.11.1, subject to Article 3.13, or otherwise not given in accordance with this Agreement. Supplier must accept any purchase orders that are consistent with the Firm Commitment.

3.12

Shortage of Supply. If Supplier is unable, or anticipates that it will not be able, to supply Product as confirmed by Supplier in accordance with Article 3.11 (a “Shortage of Supply”), Supplier shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing of the nature of the shortage and provide its best estimate of the duration of the delay. Supplier shall, at its own cost, use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy any Shortage of Supply as soon as reasonably practicable and resume timely supplying Purchaser with ordered Product in accordance with the requirements to this Agreement.

3.13

Volumes Exceeding the Firm Commitment. If Purchaser desires volumes in excess of the Firm Commitment (“Excess Volume”), the Parties shall negotiate in good faith for such Excess Volume supply obligation and, if such supply of Excess Volume is agreed, Supplier shall be obligated to supply such Excess Volume upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement; provided that Supplier in all events shall use commercially reasonable efforts to supply any Excess Volumes. Without limiting the foregoing, if following good faith negotiations Supplier does not agree to supply such Excess Volume upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser may obtain such Excess Volume from a Third Party supplier and such Excess Volume will not be counted as requirement of Purchaser under Article 3.6.

If Supplier produces more Product in a campaign than as agreed in the Firm Commitment, then Purchaser shall be obliged to take up to an additional [***] of the Firm Commitment at the prices set forth in the Agreement.

Purchaser shall provide Supplier with notice of acceptance or rejection within such period, and failure to notify Supplier of rejection during such period shall be deemed acceptance of such Product by Purchaser and all Purchaser’s claims relating to any defect or non-conformity of the Product, other than latent defects, shall be waived. If Purchaser detects later on any latent defect (a defect which could not reasonably have been detected, even by conducting a thorough incoming inspection), Purchaser shall inform Supplier thereof within [***] (also an “Inspection Period”). If Purchaser fails to give a notice of non-conformance

within such Inspection Period, all Purchaser’s claims relating to such latent defect or non-conformity of the Product shall be waived.

3.15.2

Supplier will notify Purchaser within [***] of receipt of Purchaser's rejection notice whether Supplier agrees with or disputes the basis of Purchaser's rejection of Product.

3.15.3

Remedy for Purchaser's Rejection. If Supplier accepts Purchaser's basis for rejection of Product in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Supplier shall, at Supplier’s sole expense and Supplier’s sole discretion, either (i) remanufacture, rework or reprocess (if possible under cGMP conditions and only if the resulting Product is immediately useable by Purchaser under the then-current regulatory approval for the Product) such rejected Product, (ii) supply replacement batches or (iii) credit the Product Price for such rejected Product plus reasonable shipping and other reasonable charges, as soon as reasonably possible and in no event later than [***] after Supplier’s notice of acceptance of Purchaser rejections pursuant to Article 3.15.2.

If the Parties disagree whether the Product batch conforms with the Specification, Supplier will submit a sample of such Product batch and applicable documentation to an independent, Third Party laboratory mutually agreed upon by the Parties (where such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) in the European Union or United States. Such Third Party laboratory will determine whether such Product batch conforms to the Specification, and such determination shall be final, binding and determinative as to whether rejection of such Product batch was justified. The costs of such testing shall be borne by the Party against whom the discrepancy is resolved.

1.2

Planning Meetings. After the Effective Date, the respective Project Managers of Supplier and Purchaser, plus such other representative(s) as may be selected by each Party, shall meet in person or via telephone/video at least two (2) times each calendar year or as otherwise scheduled (each such meeting, a “Planning Meeting”).
