Affiliate pursuant to Section 5.5 below or upon Codexis’ written request. Company shall package and ship Enzyme (i) under appropriate packaging and storage conditions, including, for example, using envirotainers or similar temperature-control equipment for shipments, and (ii) in conformance with Codexis’ written instructions, including without limitation the requirements set forth in the Quality Agreement (as defined in Section 5.10). The documentation set forth on Exhibit 5.4, which shall be provided by Codexis, shall be included in each shipment of Enzyme.
5.5 Inspection of Enzyme. Acceptance by Codexis of all or part of each shipment of Batch of Enzyme delivered by Company shall be subject to compliance of such Batch with the Specification as determined by such acceptance inspection. Prior to shipment of any Batch of Enzyme, Company shall send to Codexis and/or a Codexis Affiliate within five (5) business days after the date of manufacture of such Batch, a Batch sample sufficient to test and inspect such Batch and to enable Codexis and/or a Codexis Affiliate, to determine whether such Batch and manufacture of such Batch conforms to the applicable Specification and the Quality Agreement (as defined in Section 5.10), within forty-five (45) days of receipt of such Batch sample. If Codexis fails to notify Company of a rejection within such forty-five (45) day period or such other time period as set forth in the applicable Purchase Order, the Batches of Enzyme shall be deemed accepted by Codexis; provided, however, in the case of any Enzymes having latent defects which, upon diligent examination by Codexis could not have been discovered, Codexis must give notice of its rejection immediately after discovery of such defects. In any event, Codexis shall pay for each such Batch of Enzyme as otherwise provided herein and shall be entitled to, at its sole discretion, a credit or refund of the applicable fees paid for properly rejected Enzymes at the time they are ultimately rejected in accordance with Sections 5.7 and 5.8 herein. Company shall not proceed with any shipment of any Enzyme unless Codexis has instructed Company to do so in writing. For clarity, even if a Batch is accepted by Codexis, Company shall not ship any Batch of Enzyme unless Codexis instructs Company to do so in writing.
5.6 Batch Documentation. Company will maintain original batch documentation for each Batch as set forth in the Quality Agreement.
5.7 Replacement of Defective Enzyme. In the event that Company receives a notice of rejection from Codexis, the Parties will discuss in good faith the basis for and cause(s) for such rejection and determine the Party(ies) and/or Third Party(ies) responsible for defective Enzyme. In the event that the Parties determine that Company is responsible for such rejection, Company shall, at Codexis’ request, and at the sole cost and expense of Company, replace any shipment or portion thereof of such rejected Enzyme, including without limitation disposal of such rejected Enzyme, within thirty (30) days or other time period as set forth in the applicable Purchase Order after receiving Codexis’ written notice of rejection. For clarity, the foregoing right shall not limit any other remedy available at law or in equity. To the extent Company has already shipped Enzyme that was rejected, Codexis shall keep such defective Enzyme at the premises of Codexis, a Codexis Affiliate, or a Third Party, as applicable, until receipt of Company’s instruction to return such defective Enzyme.
5.8 Disputes. If following the good faith discussions set forth in Section 5.7, Company disputes Codexis’ right to reject all or part of any shipment of any Enzyme, Company shall notify Codexis within ten (10) days after receipt of Codexis’ written notice of such
| [*] | Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
6
rejection. Such dispute shall be resolved by a Third Party with expertise in the areas of quality control and quality assurance for the production of pharmaceutical grade enzymes (not to Good Manufacturing Practice standards), the identity of whom shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties, and the appointment of whom shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned by either Party. The determination of such Third Party with respect to all or part of any shipment of any Enzyme shall be final and binding upon the Parties, but only as to the reasons given by Codexis or its Third Party designee in rejecting the Enzyme or part thereof and shall have no effect on any matter for which such Third Party did not make a determination. The fees and expenses of such Third Party shall be paid by the Party against which the determination is made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.8, Company shall continue delivering Enzyme(s), including without limitation replacement of any defective Enzymes, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement during the dispute resolution process set forth in this Section 5.8 upon Codexis’ written request; provided, that Company shall have no further liability for such continued production if and only to the extent any subsequent Batch of Enzyme is rejected for the same unidentified defect.
5.9 Manufacturing Facility. Prior to the manufacture of any Enzyme, on an Enzyme-by-Enzyme basis, the Parties shall agree upon the Manufacturing Facility for manufacture of such Enzyme. All such Enzyme shall be manufactured at such agreed upon Manufacturing Facility, and Company shall not, without Codexis’ prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, manufacture such Enzyme at any facility other than such Manufacturing Facility. Prior to the delivery of any Batch of such Enzyme to Codexis or its Third Party designee, all such Batches shall be stored in accordance with the Quality Agreement and the applicable Specification, or as otherwise instructed in writing by Codexis, and at such Manufacturing Facility. Codexis and/or its Third Party designee shall have the right to inspect the Manufacturing Facilities and/or documentation related to the manufacture of Enzyme as set forth in the Quality Agreement.
5.10 Manufacturing Standards and Procedures. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Codexis, on an Enzyme-by-Enzyme basis, all Enzymes supplied hereunder and the manufacture thereof shall comply with appropriate quality standards depending on the intended market. Upon the Effective Date, the Parties will enter into a separate quality agreement (“Quality Agreement”), which will address, among other things, mechanisms to ensure compliance, additional audit rights, and maintenance of records. In the event of a conflict specific to an issue of quality between the provisions of the Quality Agreement, the applicable Work Order, the applicable Purchase Order, and any provisions of this Agreement, the following order of precedence shall apply: the applicable Purchase Order shall govern, followed by the applicable Work Order, followed by the provisions of the Quality Agreement, followed by the provisions of this Agreement. The Quality Agreement may be amended from time to time by written mutual consent of the Parties in light of changing regulatory requirements or other circumstances. Company shall adopt and maintain quality assurance procedures and perform quality control tests designed to ensure that all Enzymes manufactured under this Agreement conform to and are manufactured in accordance with this Agreement and the Quality Agreement.
5.11 Third-Party Customer Terms. On an Enzyme-by-Enzyme and Purchase Order-by-Purchase Order basis, in the event a Third Party customer of Codexis has additional and/or different terms and conditions regarding the supply of Enzyme, Codexis shall forward such terms

and conditions to Company in the applicable Purchase Order. Company shall consider such terms and conditions in good faith, but may reject such terms and conditions within thirty (30) days of receipt of such terms and conditions. After such thirty (30)-day period or in the event Company accepts such terms and conditions within the thirty (30) day period, such terms and conditions shall be in addition to and shall take precedence over any conflicting terms and conditions in this Agreement solely for such Purchase Order.
5.12 Excess Enzymes. In the event Company manufactures Enzyme in excess of the quantity ordered by Codexis pursuant to such Purchase Order (“Excess Enzyme”), Company will store Excess Enzyme at Company’s sole cost and title shall remain with Company. Excess Enzyme may be applied to future applicable Purchase Order(s) upon Codexis’ prior written consent based upon assessment of the Enzyme’s quality as set forth in the Specification. For the avoidance of doubt, Codexis is under no obligation to purchase or agree to be supplied with any Excess Enzyme.
5.13 Storage. During the Term, Codexis may, from time to time, request Company to store Enzyme at Company’s facilities, at Codexis’ cost, as specified in the applicable Work Order. Title to Enzyme shall transfer to Codexis upon Company’s acceptance of such request.
