(g) The Parties agree that, in the event of a dispute over the nature or quality of performance under this Agreement, neither Party may terminate this Agreement until final resolution of the dispute through arbitration or other judicial determination. The Parties further agree that any payments made pursuant to this Agreement pending resolution of the dispute shall be refunded if an arbitral tribunal or a court determines that such payments are not due.

In addition, either Party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to resolve disputes pertaining to the validity, construction, scope, enforceability, infringement or other violations of Patents or other intellectual property rights, and no such claim shall be subject to arbitration pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 13.2 (Notices).

13.14 Non-Recourse.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create an employment, agency, joint venture or partnership relationship between the Parties or any of their agents or employees for any purpose.

13.16 Execution of Agreement; Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendment hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

1.3

Following the performance of the Development Services by GSK, GSK or its Affiliates shall invoice the Purchaser in accordance with Clause 12 (Invoice and Payment) and notify the Purchaser in writing of the completion of the relevant Development Service. The Purchaser must notify GSK of its approval of such Development Service and any related deliverables in writing within [***] of receipt of the notification of completion of such Development Service. GSK shall not be obliged to proceed with any activities for subsequent Development Services (if any) prior to receiving in writing the Purchaser’s approval and acceptance of each preceding Development Service and related deliverables (if any), unless otherwise agreed between the Parties.

1.4

In the event that any dispute or difference arises out of or in connection with the performance of a Development Service under a Scope of Work and the Purchaser does not give its acceptance in respect of a Development Service and any related deliverables in accordance with paragraph 1.3 above (a “Service Dispute”), each Party shall use its reasonable endeavours to resolve any such Service Dispute by prompt discussion in good faith at a managerial level appropriate to the Service Dispute in question. This procedure shall be invoked by either Party giving notice to the other setting out the issues in the Service Dispute and referring to this paragraph and, unless the Parties agree otherwise, shall be treated as having been exhausted if the Service Dispute has not been resolved within [***] after the giving of the notice.

In the event that the Purchaser fails to pay any sum in respect of capital expenditure for which it is to bear the cost pursuant to this paragraph 1.5, neither GSK nor its Affiliates shall bear any liability under this Agreement for any breach of its terms resulting from any failure to undertake, or delay in undertaking, such capital expenditure or any consequential failure to Manufacture (or delay in Manufacturing) the Products pursuant to this Agreement.

The Toll Materials, WIP and New Clinical Products shall at all times be stored separately from (but may be stored in the same warehouse or other facility as) other goods and merchandise in the possession of GSK or the Nominated Supplier and the containers holding the Toll Materials, WIP and New Clinical Products shall be clearly marked in such a way as to identify that they are owned by the Purchaser or for use only for the Purchaser.

3.	LOSS AND RECONCILIATION OF TOLL MATERIALS

3.1

The Parties agree that the Expected Loss in respect of each New Clinical Product shall be [***]. The Expected Losses identify in percentage terms the proportion of each Toll Material reasonably expected to be lost in the Manufacture of the relevant New Clinical Product(s), including in the event of a batch rejection. The Expected Losses take into account GSK’s and the Nominated Supplier’s requirements to retain samples of the Toll Materials and/or New Clinical Products in accordance with Applicable Law. The Expected Losses shall be applicable throughout the Term unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties.

3.2

GSK shall report quarterly to the Purchaser and/or its Affiliate on the usage of each Toll Material it achieves, in order for the Parties to calculate the actual usage achieved by GSK and the Nominated Supplier, and for this purpose shall provide to the Purchaser by the end of the month following each Calendar Quarter Day and the date of termination or expiry of this Agreement a reconciliation report (in respect of the previous Calendar Quarter or period and Reporting Year to date) in such format as the Parties may agree showing:

(A)

the opening quantities of each Toll Material held by GSK or the Nominated Supplier at the start of the Calendar Quarter;

Schedule

(B)

the receipts of each Toll Material from the Purchaser (or its Affiliate) during that Calendar Quarter;

(C)

the actual usage of each Toll Material during that Calendar Quarter and during that Reporting Year through the end of such Calendar Quarter in the Manufacture of New Clinical Products and the quantities of New Clinical Products Manufactured; and

(D)

the stock of each Toll Material and related WIP and New Clinical Products containing the same, held by GSK or the Nominated Supplier remaining unprocessed or not yet Delivered to the Purchaser or its Affiliate at the end of such Calendar Quarter;

provided that the first such report in respect of each New Clinical Product shall relate to the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the first Calendar Quarter Day falling at least one (1) month after the Effective Date.

3.3	On the last Business Day of the month following the end of each Reporting Year during the Term (including following the final Reporting Year of the Term), the Parties shall calculate the Reconciliation Value for the Reporting Year just ended as follows:

[***]

3.4	If the Reconciliation Value is positive, GSK shall reimburse the Purchaser (or its Affiliate) for such Reconciliation Value.

3.5	If the Reconciliation Value is negative, such Reconciliation Value shall be carried forward to the next Reporting Year and used in calculating the subsequent Reconciliation Value in accordance with the formula set forth at paragraph 3.3.

3.6

For the purposes of the calculation in paragraph 3.3, the loss of any of the Toll Materials that are Defective (other than as a result of any negligent act or omission of GSK or its Affiliates following Delivery of such Toll Materials) or written off pursuant to Clause 18 (Write Off Costs) and paragraph 5 (Supplementary Write Off Provisions) shall be disregarded.

Schedule

3.7	The provisions of Clause 11.8 shall apply mutatis mutandis in the event of any dispute in respect of the calculation of any Reconciliation Value under this paragraph 3 (Loss and Reconciliation of Toll Materials).
