2.1 Exclusive Supply and Purchase Obligations.
2.1.1 Exclusive Supply Obligation of Arch in Respect of Codexis India Customers. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Arch shall supply Products to Codexis India to be sold by Codexis India to Codexis India Customers. Arch shall exclusively supply Products to Codexis India for Codexis India Customers and Arch shall have no right to supply Products directly or indirectly to Codexis India Customers unless authorized by Codexis India.
2.1.2 Exclusive Purchase Obligation of Codexis India. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Codexis India shall purchase Products exclusively from Arch for sale to Codexis India Customers.
2.2 Product Supply. Arch shall label the Products in accordance with Codexis Indias written instructions as set forth in Exhibit 2.2. Codexis India shall purchase from Arch, and Arch shall supply to Codexis India Products for sale by Codexis India to Codexis India Customers. The timing and delivery of such supply shall be as set forth in the applicable Product Purchase Order. Arch, at its sole cost and expense, will validate, manufacture and supply Products in accordance with the applicable Product Specification for Product(s) to be sold to a Codexis India Customer, and will be responsible for all necessary and useful requirements therefor, including without limitation ensuring sufficient manufacturing capacity; employing appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel; implementing cost reduction plans; and complying with all Applicable Laws. The Products shall be manufactured and supplied under the Codexis Trademarks. For the avoidance of doubt, Products sold and shipped directly to Codexis India Customers will be accompanied by a Codexis India Commercial Invoice and an Arch Certificate of Analysis, and any other documents as necessary or appropriate as described in the respective customer purchase order.
2.3 Failure to Supply Product. In the event that Arch fails to deliver at least [*] of the amount of any particular Product that Arch was obligated to deliver under Section 2.4 ordered pursuant to any particular Product Purchase Order in accordance with the terms of such Product Purchase Order, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Codexis India shall have the right to take any and all steps necessary to cover, at the sole cost and expense of Arch, any such shortfall in the supply of such Product and, at Codexis Indias sole discretion, to modify any then-outstanding Product Purchase Orders without penalty. Notwithstanding and without limiting the foregoing, Arch acknowledges and agrees that: (a) any failure by Arch to deliver at least [*] of the amount of any particular Product ordered (i) pursuant to three (3) or more Product Purchase Orders in any period of twelve (12) consecutive months or (ii) pursuant to the aggregate of all Product Purchase Orders in any period of twelve (12) consecutive months, in accordance with the terms of such Product Purchase Orders, shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement by Arch with respect to such Product; (b) Codexis India shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to convert its exclusive purchase obligation set forth in Section 2.1.2 with respect to such Product to a non-exclusive arrangement (but, for clarity, in such event, Archs supply obligation to Codexis India set forth in Section 2.1.1 shall remain exclusive); and (c) Codexis Indias rights pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall not limit any other rights of Codexis India under this Agreement with respect to a failure to supply by Arch which constitutes a material breach pursuant to paragraph (a) above, including without limitation, Codexis Indias right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Product pursuant to Section 9.2.

2.4 Product Purchase Orders. Each of the Product(s) shall be ordered by Codexis India by written purchase order submitted electronically (or by any other means agreed by the Parties), in a form to be mutually agreed by the Parties (each, a Product Purchase Order). No communications (oral, electronic, written or otherwise) between the Parties in respect of any purchase or supply of Products shall be binding on the Parties except to the extent such communication is embodied in a Product Purchase Order or other document signed by each Party. In the event that a Codexis India Customer modifies or cancels and order for Product, Codexis India shall discuss the matter with Arch and only after Archs consent in writing (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) modify or cancel a Product Purchase Order provided that Arch has not already shipped Product prior to receipt of the cancellation/modification notice. All Product Purchase Orders shall be deemed accepted by Arch so long as Codexis, Inc. provides a sufficient quantity of enzymes to Arch in order to allow Arch to manufacture the requested quantity of Product in the requested timeframe. Arch shall promptly provide Codexis India written notice in the event that Arch will not be able to deliver any quantities specified in the Product Purchase Order.
2.5 Conflicts. On Product-by-Product basis and Purchase Order-by-Purchase Order basis, in the event a Codexis India Customer has additional and/or different terms and conditions regarding the supply of Product or requirement of additional sales documentation, Codexis India shall forward such terms and conditions to Arch in writing, either in the applicable Purchase Order or otherwise, and such terms and conditions shall be in addition to the terms and conditions in this Agreement solely for such Purchase Order. To the extent that there is any conflict or any inconsistency between this Agreement and any Product Purchase Order, or any other document pertaining to the supply of Products (except as set forth in Section 2.10.3), the terms of this Agreement shall govern. For clarity, no conflicting term or condition added by Codexis India to a Product Purchase Order shall be binding on Arch unless such term or condition is specifically agreed to by Arch in writing signed by a duly authorized officer of Arch.
2.6 Delivery of Products. Arch shall deliver to Codexis India and/or its designee the amount of each of the Product(s) specified in each Product Purchase Order, together with any other sales documentation or other materials specified in such Purchase Order, no later than the date (or dates) mutually agreed by the Parties therein. All Products shall be (a) delivered to Codexis India as inventory supply; or (b) shipped by Arch by air or as otherwise directed by Codexis India to the destination designated in writing by Codexis India.

2.7 Inspection of Product. Upon receipt of each shipment of Product, Codexis India and/or the Codexis India Customer, shall test and inspect such Product for compliance with the Product Specification and other documentation as set forth in Section 2.10 or otherwise provided by Codexis India to Arch pursuant to Section 2.5 (as applicable) for such Product corresponding to such shipment. Codexis India and/or the Codexis India Customer shall inform Arch of the result of the acceptance inspection including the judgment of acceptance or rejection of all or part of a shipment in writing within ten (10) days (or such other time as may be agreed to by Codexis India and a Codexis India Customer, as specified in the applicable Product Purchase Order) after the delivery of such shipment of Products. In the event that Arch receives a written notice of rejection from Codexis India and/or the Codexis India Customer within the timeframes set forth in the following sentence, subject to Section 2.9, Arch shall replace such rejected Product pursuant to Section 2.8. If Codexis India and/or the Codexis India Customer fails to notify Arch of a rejection within the requisite timeframe, the shipment of Products shall be deemed accepted by Codexis India and/or the Codexis India Customer. Regardless of any rejection of all or part of a shipment of Product, Codexis India shall pay for such Product and if such rejection is determined to be proper by Arch or pursuant to the dispute resolution mechanism set forth in Section 2.9, Codexis India shall be entitled to, at its sole discretion, a credit or refund of such properly rejected Product.
2.8 Replacement of Defective Product. In the event that Arch receives a written notice of rejection from Codexis India and/or the Codexis India Customer, Arch shall, at the sole cost and expense of Arch, replace any shipment of such rejected Product, including without limitation disposal of such Product, within sixty (60) days after receiving Codexis Indias and/or the Codexis India Customers written notice of rejection. For clarity, the foregoing right shall not limit any other remedy available at law or in equity. Codexis India and/or the Codexis India Customer shall keep such defective Product at the premises of Codexis India and/or the Codexis India Customer, as applicable, until receipt of Archs instruction for Codexis India and/or the Codexis India Customer to return or otherwise dispose of such defective Product. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) Arch shall have no obligation to replace any shipment of Product or part thereof pursuant to this Section 2.8 or issue a refund or credit pursuant to Section 2.7 in the event Arch can establish that the Product is not defective or such defect occurred after delivery of Product; and (ii) if the basis for any rejection is a defect due to a change in any regulatory requirement as specified by a Government Authority and which change was not identified by the Government Authority prior to Archs manufacture of such Product, then the costs associated with replacement of the defective Product (which costs, for the avoidance of doubt, do not include costs to be borne by Arch in updating its manufacturing processes and procedures to become compliant with any new regulatory requirement or any other costs not attributable directly to the replacement) shall be borne equally by the Parties.
2.9 Disputes. If Arch disputes Codexis Indias and/or the Codexis India Customers right to reject all or part of any shipment of any Product as set forth in Section 2.7, Arch shall notify Codexis India within ten (10) days after receipt of Codexis Indias and/or the Codexis India Customers written notice of such rejection. Such dispute shall be resolved by a Third Party within thirty (30) days of such notice. Such Third Party shall have expertise in the areas of quality control and quality assurance for active pharmaceutical ingredient and intermediate manufacturing, the identity of whom shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties, and the appointment of whom shall not be unreasonably delayed or conditioned by either Party. The determination of such Third Party with respect to all or part of any shipment of any Product shall be final and binding upon the Parties. The Third Partys scope of review and decision shall be strictly limited to the reasons given by Codexis India in rejecting the shipment or part thereof, and such Third Party may not consider any alleged defects or reasons beyond the alleged defects and reasons given by Codexis India. For the avoidance of doubt, if such Third Party determines that the reasons given by Codexis India in rejecting the shipment or part thereof were not proper, then no refund or credit shall be due to Codexis India under Section 2.8, even if such Third Party determines that the shipment was defective on other, independent bases. 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 Article 2, Arch shall continue delivering Product(s), including without limitation replacement of any defective Products, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement during the dispute resolution process set forth in this Section 2.9.

All such Product shall be manufactured at such Manufacturing Facility, and Arch shall not, without Codexis Indias prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, manufacture such Product at any facility other than such Manufacturing Facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Arch makes a good faith determination that it is more cost-efficient to outsource certain aspects or steps in the manufacturing of Products to Third Parties (the Subcontract Manufacturer), Arch may, upon Codexis Indias prior, written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), use such Subcontract Manufacturers to manufacture Products provided that (i) such subcontracting does not increase manufacturing costs, (ii) Arch shall retain title to Products even when and during such time that Products are manufactured, maintained or held at the site of a Subcontract Manufacturer and (iii) Arch shall remain liable for all action or inaction of any Subcontract Manufacturer and any such action or inaction which would be deemed a breach of this Agreement had such action or inaction been taken by Arch shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement by Arch.

The Receiving Party shall take the same degree of care that the Receiving Party uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information of a similar nature and importance, but in no event shall such care be less than reasonable care.
5.3 Exceptions. The obligations of non-disclosure and non-use under Section 5.2 will not apply as to particular Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party to the extent that such Confidential Information: (a) is at the time of receipt, or thereafter becomes, through no fault of the Receiving Party or its Affiliates, published or publicly known or available; (b) is known by the Receiving Party or its Affiliates at the time of receiving such information, as evidenced by competent written records; (c) is hereafter furnished to the Receiving Party or its Affiliates by a Third Party without breach of a duty to the Disclosing Party; or (d) is independently discovered or developed by the Receiving Party or its Affiliates without use of, application of, access to, or reference to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, as evidenced by competent written records.
