Subject to the foregoing, to the extent possible, the Quality Agreement will be interpreted with the terms set forth in the body of this Agreement. If there is any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the Quality Agreement and the terms set forth in this Agreement, however, the terms set forth in this Agreement shall control in all non-quality related matters. The Quality Agreement will take precedence in all quality related matters.
3.3 Acceptance Procedure.
(a) Rejection. Acceptance by Company or its designee of API delivered by Manufacturer hereunder shall be subject to inspection and applicable testing by Company or its designee. If as a result of such inspection Company or its designee discovers that any API delivered by Manufacturer under this Agreement fails to conform with the API Requirements, Company or such designee may reject such API by providing Manufacturer written notice thereof within [*] after Company’s or its designees’s receipt of such API. Manufacturer shall either, at Company’s option, replace all properly rejected API within [*] after its receipt of notice of such rejection at no additional cost to Company or its designee (including transportation costs) or refund any amounts Company paid for such properly rejected API. Manufacturer shall make arrangements with Company or its designee, as applicable, for the return or disposal of any API rejected hereunder, and such return, shipping and disposal charges shall be paid by Manufacturer. The warranties given by Manufacturer in Section 8.2 below shall survive any failure to reject by Company under this Section 3.3.
(b) Disputes. Manufacturer shall respond in writing to any rejection notice provided by Company or its designee pursuant to Section 3.3(a) within [*] from Manufacturer’s receipt of such rejection notice. If Manufacturer does not agree with Company’s or its designee’s determination that such API fails to conform to the API Requirements, then the Manufacturer and Company, or Company’s designee, shall use reasonable efforts to resolve such disagreement as promptly as possible. Without limiting the foregoing, Manufacturer and Company, or Company’s designee, shall discussing in good faith mutually acceptable testing procedures pursuant to which both the Manufacurer and Company, or Company’s designee, will re-test a sample of the disputed API to determine whether such API complies with the API Requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Manufacturer and Company, or Company’s designee, are unable to resolve such disagreement within [*] of the date of the applicable rejection notice, either Party (or, in the case of Company, its designee) may submit a sample of such API to an independent laboratory to review records, test data and perform comparative tests and/or analyses promptly on samples of

such API. Such independent laboratory shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties, provided that if the Parties are unable to agree, then Company shall designate the independent testing laboratory. The independent laboratory’s results shall be in writing and shall be final and binding save for manifest error. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, the costs associated with such testing and review shall be borne by the non-prevailing Party.
3.4 Changes to Specifications. Manufacturer shall not make any major changes to the Specifications, processes, Manufacturing Facility or any other item in any manner that would impact the manufacturing activities related to API, without Company’s prior written approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), except that Manufacturer shall promptly make and implement such changes as are required by Applicable Law (“Required Changes”). Prior to implementation, all Required Changes shall be subject to Company’s written approval, including the timelines, estimated effect on pricing and other issues regarding such implementation. For clarity, for the purposes of this Section 3.4 a “major” change shall include, without limitation, any change that would require the approval by an applicable Regulatory Authority in connection with Company’s finished product containing the API or may affect a regulatory filing made by or under the authority of Company with respect to a finished product containing the API. Without limiting the foregoing, Manufacturer shall provide advance notice to Company of any changes to the Specifications, processes, Manufacturing Facility or any other item in any manner that would impact the manufacturing activities related to API sufficiently in advance of the proposed implementation thereof to allow Company to properly evaluate the impact of such change on any of Company’s products containing the API and to implement appropriate changes to Company’s (or its designee’s) regulatory filings pertaining to such products.
3.5 Deviations. Without limiting Section 3.4 above, in the event any material deviations occur during the course of the manufacture of any batch of API for Company under this Agreement, Manufacturer shall immediately provide Company with a detailed written description of such deviation. In addition, Manufacturer shall undertake all reasonable and appropriate actions to investigate the cause of such deviation and, to the extent applicable to the manufacture of any batch of API for Company under this Agreement, to correct the same as set forth in the Quality Agreement.
