(i) With respect to clinical supply of Product to Spectrum, Topotarget shall provide all of Spectrum’s requirements for Product in finished form, labeled and packaged, pursuant to the Clinical Supply Agreement, until such time as existing Topotarget inventory of Product, as specified in Schedule 5.6(a) (the “ Existing Topotarget Inventory ”), is exhausted. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Clinical Supply Agreement (including in particular Section 3.8 thereof) remains in full force and effect (except with respect to matters therein pertaining to the negotiation and execution of the “Commercial Supply Agreement”, which are superseded by this Section 5.6 ) until such time as the Existing Topotarget Inventory is exhausted.

(ii) Upon exhaustion of the Existing Topotarget Inventory, and except as set forth below, Spectrum shall have sole responsibility (either itself or through one or more contract manufacturers) for manufacturing all clinical supplies of Product (including API) for Development worldwide, in current formulations in bulk and finished form. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the Clinical Supply Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties, Spectrum shall have sole responsibility (either itself or through one or more contract manufacturers) for manufacturing all commercial supplies of Product (including API), in current formulation in bulk and finished form. Until the Existing Topotarget Inventory is exhausted, Topotarget shall supply Spectrum’s requirements for clinical supply of Products for the Territory as set forth in the Clinical Supply Agreement and Spectrum (for itself and its sublicensees) shall purchase all of its requirements for clinical supply of Product from Topotarget pursuant to the Clinical Supply Agreement.

As of the effective date of the Clinical Supply Agreement, Topotarget’s agreements with any Third Party contract manufacturer for the supply of Product in any formulation are listed on Schedule 2.2 in the Clinical Supply Agreement (the “ Manufacturing Agreements ”). Topotarget represents that the existing Manufacturing Agreements do not contain any obligations for Spectrum to obtain all or part of its requirements from such Third Parties and Topotarget will take no action or inaction that would result in any such obligation or that would adversely affect Spectrum’s rights under this Agreement. Topotarget shall not amend or terminate any Manufacturing Agreement without Spectrum’s prior written consent if such amendment or termination would materially and adversely affect Topotarget’s obligations under the Clinical Supply Agreement, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and Topotarget shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to comply in all material respects with its obligations and enforce its rights under each such Manufacturing Agreement.

Commencing with the Effective Date, each Party shall consult with the other Party with respect to any new agreement between such Party and any Third Party related to the manufacture and supply of Product worldwide. Neither Party shall enter into any such new agreement unless the other Party consents to the terms, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that in the event the Parties fail to agree, each Party may obtain clinical supply from any Third Party for its territory.

(b) Commercial Supplies : Topotarget and Spectrum currently contemplate that Spectrum will contract with [***] (“ [***]” ) for the commercial supply of Belinostat active pharmaceutical ingredient (“ API ”) for Products, and [***] (“ [***] ”) for the commercial supply of finished Products. The Parties acknowledge that Topotarget has transferred to [***] and [***] the Information, including the specifications for the Product, Controlled by Topotarget that is necessary to enable [***] and [***] to replicate the process employed by or on behalf of Topotarget to manufacture, test, and release API and finished Products, as applicable. Spectrum agrees to reasonably and in good faith consult with Topotarget with respect to Spectrum’s negotiation of agreements with such Third Parties. In the event that Spectrum wishes to use any other Third Party manufacturer to produce Products (or components thereof), Spectrum shall reasonably and in good faith consult with Topotarget with respect to such other Third Party manufacturer and any agreement between Spectrum and such Third Party for the supply of Products (or components thereof), and Topotarget shall perform a technology transfer to such Third Party manufacturer in accordance with Section 5.6(e) below. In any event, Spectrum agrees that it promptly shall provide to Topotarget copies of any agreement, or the like (including any amendments thereto), executed by Spectrum or any of its Affiliates with any Third Party for the supply of Products (or components thereof (including API and Bulk Product). Spectrum will obtain permission from such Third Parties for disclosure to Topotarget. In addition, Topotarget and Spectrum will together enter into a letter of understanding with [***] to reflect the terms and conditions of this Section 5.6 . Such letters of understanding will not be required for any other Third Party manufacturers proposed to be used by Spectrum for supply of Products (including API and Bulk Product) if Spectrum’s agreement with such other Third Party manufacturers are consistent with the terms and conditions of this Section 5.6 and protect Topotarget’s Confidential Information and Intellectual Property on terms at least as protective as the terms of this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, Spectrum shall be the sole source of interface with Third Party manufacturers for the Products and, except as provided below or in other provisions of this Section 5.6 , Topotarget shall not place any direct orders for API and/or Bulk Product with a Third Party manufacturer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Topotarget will have the right to interface with Third Party manufacturers, and place orders with Third Party manufacturers for API and/or Bulk Product where: (i) Spectrum fails to supply, for any reason (other than where Spectrum’s failure to supply is due to a Supply Disruption of which Spectrum has provided written evidence thereof to Topotarget), the quantity of API and/or Bulk Product and/or NPP Product required and ordered by Topotarget pursuant to this Section 5.6 within the delivery dates specified by Topotarget, (ii) Spectrum is unable to supply API, Bulk Product and/or NPP Product having a minimum shelf life of [***] ( [***] ) months from the date of receipt by Topotarget (or upon regulatory approval for extension of API, Bulk Product and/or NPP Product shelf life to [***] months, [***] months from the date of receipt by Topotarget), (iii) the Third Party manufacturer engaged by Spectrum for supply of API or Bulk Product is not approved by a Regulatory Authority in the Topotarget Territory, or by the FDA, with respect to its manufacture of API or Bulk Product, or such Third Party manufacturer has received, warning letters or other similar communications from a Regulatory Authority, (iv) Spectrum’s submissions to the FDA or other Regulatory Authority regarding manufacture of the Product are not approved by the FDA, or (v) Spectrum elects to transfer manufacture of API or Bulk Product to a different Third Party manufacturer and Topotarget wishes to continue receiving supply from the then-current Third Party manufacturer. In connection with the foregoing, Topotarget shall be free to take such preparatory action as it determines is necessary, including engaging with Third Party manufacturers and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.6 , Topotarget may cancel any purchase orders that are not Firm Orders as well as any forecasts for any Product (including API and Bulk Product).

Upon sending such notice, such purchase order, as modified pursuant to such notice, shall become a “ Firm Order ”, unless such notice modifies such purchase order such that the amount of Bulk Product and/or NPP Product ordered by Topotarget is increased by more than [***] percent ( [***] %) or the delivery date of the ordered Bulk Product and/or NPP Product is delayed by more than [***] ( [***] ) days, in which case such purchase order, as modified, will not be a Firm Order unless accepted in writing by Topotarget. If no such notice is received by Topotarget within [***] ( [***] ) Business Days after Spectrum’s receipt of such purchase order, then Spectrum shall have been deemed to accept such purchase order and such purchase order will be deemed a Firm Order. Any purchase orders for Bulk Product and/or NPP Product submitted by Topotarget shall reference this Agreement and shall be governed exclusively by the terms contained herein. If there is any inconsistency or conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any provisions in any Bulk Product and/or NPP Product purchase order, invoice or similar document furnished by Topotarget or Spectrum to the other Party, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control except for matters of quality, in which case the Quality Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Spectrum wishes to combine its orders for Bulk Product and NPP Product with those of Topotarget for maximum cost efficiency/full lot quantities, Topotarget agrees to discuss in good faith such proposed combination of orders with Spectrum and to reasonably consider any resulting adjustments in the timing of the ordering process set forth above.

4. In addition to the foregoing, if Topotarget, in any Calendar Quarter, submits Firm Orders for the Bulk Product and/or NPP Product in excess of [***] % of the applicable [***] forecast for the Bulk Product in such Calendar Quarter (“ Excess Orders ”), Spectrum will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to fill the excess portion of such Excess Orders as promptly as practicable, but will not be in breach hereof if, notwithstanding such efforts, it will be unable to fill such excess portion. For clarity, Spectrum shall not have any obligation to incur any fees or other penalties to fill the excess portion of such Excess Orders or to supply to Topotarget any quantities of Bulk Product and/or NPP Product that Spectrum had forecasted, ordered or obtained for its own account or the account of another licensee. If Spectrum would incur fees to fill the excess portion of such Excess Orders, it shall bring this to Topotarget’s attention and if Topotarget agrees to reimburse Spectrum for such fees, then Spectrum fill such excess portion unless it would otherwise not be commercially reasonable to do so. In the event that Topotarget’s purchase orders require Spectrum to manufacture or have manufactured a new lot of Bulk Product for any reason, Topotarget agrees to purchase full lot quantity of Bulk Product; provided, that, before placing a purchase order that would require Topotarget to purchase the full lot of Bulk Product, Spectrum will inform Topotarget in writing of such requirement. Spectrum agrees to provide notification of Spectrum’s next planned purchase for Spectrum’s own use to Topotarget to allow potential coordination of Topotarget’s purchase orders with Spectrum’s future requirements.

Topotarget and Spectrum shall each have the right to terminate this Amendment for any reason at any time on six (6) months prior written notice to the other, which termination shall be effective on the five (5) year anniversary of the NDA approval date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a Change of Control of Topotarget, and the successor to Topotarget or such party’s Affiliate is able to or wishes to manufacture and supply the API or the Product for itself for any reason, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Amendment, from and after the date that is [***] ( [***] ) months after the date the NDA for the Product is approved by the FDA, Topotarget’s successor or such party’s Affiliate shall be free to manufacture the Product (including API and Bulk Product) itself; provided, that Topotarget’s successor or such party’s Affiliate manufactures product to materially equivalent process and specifications as filed in Spectrum’s NDA. In the event Topotarget, its successor or Affiliate decides to produce or have produced Product itself in this circumstance, Spectrum shall (i) upon the request of Topotarget, its successor or Affiliates, engage in the Information transfer described in subsection (a)  below, and (ii) have the right but not the obligation during the Term to obtain such supply of Product through Topotarget (at the price of Cost of Goods plus [***] percent ( [***] %) and otherwise substantially equivalent terms of this Agreement) or from the Third Party manufacturers engaged hereunder pursuant to the terms of those agreements and, for avoidance of doubt, Spectrum would not be required to reimburse Topotarget, its successor or Affiliate for the costs of qualifying such new source of supply. The new source of supply will provide Spectrum with information required for Spectrum to update NDA, DMF, IND, and other regulatory filings required to utilize API or Bulk Product in Territory. In addition, if Spectrum does not obtain approval from the FDA to market the Product in the U.S., or if Spectrum’s sales of the Product in the U.S. are materially less than Spectrum’s forecasts, the Parties agree to discuss in good faith, upon Spectrum’s request, the possibility of returning responsibility for supply of Product to Topotarget and termination of this Amendment. If not earlier terminated, the Term of this Amendment shall automatically renew for additional [***] ( [***] ) year periods, unless Topotarget or Spectrum provides a written notice to the other of termination at least [***] ( [***] ) months prior to the end of the then current renewal Term, provided that, if requested by Topotarget, Spectrum agrees to continue to supply API and Bulk Product to Topotarget pursuant to the terms of the Amendment for a period of the earlier of (i)  [***] ( [***] ) months after the date of such written notice and (ii) the date TopoTarget establishes sufficient alternative supply of API and Bulk Product using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, Spectrum shall be able to terminate this Amendment for any reason at any time if it provides TopoTarget with [***] ( [***] ) months advance written notice of the effectiveness of such termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Amendment, upon receipt or delivery by either Party of notice of termination of this Amendment, Topotarget shall be free to immediately commence discussions with and enter into contractual arrangements with any and all Third Party manufacturers for the commencement of commercial supply of Products (including API and Bulk Products) upon the effectiveness of such termination, and Spectrum agrees to reasonably cooperate with Topotarget in connection therewith, including by notifying the Third Party manufacturers that Spectrum authorizes them to work with Topotarget and enter into contractual arrangements with Topotarget and waiving any exclusivity with such Third Party manufacturers relating to the API and Product. Upon termination of this Amendment, all of the amendments made to the License Agreement by this Amendment shall become null and void as of the effective date of such termination, and the License Agreement shall otherwise continue in full force and effect; provided , that , (1) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the License Agreement, each Party shall be free to manufacture and supply or have manufactured and supplied the API and/or Product from any Third Party manufacturer, (2) Spectrum agrees to supply NPP Product to Topotarget for a period of [***] ( [***] ) months after termination of this Amendment in accordance with the terms of the Amendment, and all terms of the Amendment relating to supply of NPP Product shall survive during such [***] ( [***] ) month period, and (3) Spectrum agrees to negotiate in good faith with Topotarget an arrangement to supply Topotarget with NPP Product after the end of such [***] ( [***] ) month period. Upon termination of this Amendment for any reason, including termination of the License Agreement:
