     2.3. Scope of Activities. The parties shall perform the following activities as applicable to each in connection with the Program:

          (a) Cardinal Health shall have sole and exclusive authority to discipline or terminate the employment of Representatives. Cumberland may reasonably request that a Representative or Manager be terminated or reassigned if such Representative’s or Manager’s activities or conduct are not adequately achieving the performance goals of the Product, or if the Representative or Manager fails to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and Cumberland requirements for Detailing the Product. Cardinal Health shall use its best efforts to comply with such request; provided that such action complies with applicable laws and is in accordance with Cardinal Health’s policies and procedures, as determined by Cardinal Health’s human resources manager.

          (b) Cardinal Health shall cause each Representative to attend and successfully complete the Training Program (as defined in Section 6.1) conducted by Cumberland for each of the Products prior to participating in the Program.

Cumberland shall advise Cardinal Health immediately of any inaccuracy or incompleteness of the Product Promotional Materials or the Product Labeling, and upon such notice Cardinal Health and the Representatives shall immediately cease the use of any portion or all of the Product Promotional Materials or Product Labeling so identified by Cumberland.

          (d) Cardinal Health shall instruct the Representatives to limit their verbal statements and claims regarding the Products, including efficacy and safety, to those that are consistent with the Product Labeling and the Product Promotional Materials.

Representatives shall not make any disparaging, untrue, or misleading statements about Cumberland or its Affiliates, employees, competitors, or competing products.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any acts or omissions of the Representatives pursuant to the exclusive direction, control or supervision of Cumberland or its employees or agents shall not be deemed to be negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of Cardinal Health.

     (b) Each party shall notify the other in writing as promptly as practicable of any such material alleged negligent or wrongful acts or omissions on the part of the Representatives of which it becomes aware along with a plan to remedy such acts or omissions, and Cumberland shall provide Cardinal Health with a reasonable opportunity to remedy such acts or omissions, and if indicated, to replace the involved Representatives.
