18
measures as required by the Specifications and the Quality Agreement. The cost of the Bulk OME shall form no part of the Price. The costs of shipping, handling, insurance and freight will be borne by Santarus and form no part of the Price. [* * *]
6.2 Changes in Price of Finished Product. Any changes to the Price for each Finished Product shall be determined in accordance with the following:
(a) | Annual Review. On or about [* * *] of each year Patheon and Santarus will meet (in person or by telephone or video conference) to consider whether any adjustment to the Price in respect of the Finished Product upward or downward is appropriate to account for increases or decreases in the cost of manufacture and/or the cost of Raw Materials. In considering whether a change in the Price is justified, the Parties may consider all published economic data, including without limitation, price indices that are demonstrated to have a rational connection to the cost of Raw Materials or Patheons cost of manufacturing the Finished Product. | ||
(b) | Extraordinary Changes in Raw Material Costs. If at any time market conditions result in Patheons cost of Raw Materials being materially greater than normal forecasted increases, then Patheon shall be entitled to request an adjustment to the Price to compensate it for such increased Raw Material costs. If at any time market conditions result in Patheons cost of Raw Materials being materially lesser than anticipated, then Santarus shall be entitled to request an adjustment to the Price to compensate it for such reduced Raw Material costs. For the purposes of this Section 6.2(b), changes materially greater than normal forecasted increases or materially lesser than anticipated shall be considered to have occurred if: (i) the cost of a Raw Material increases or decreases, as applicable, by [* * *] or more of the cost for that Raw Material upon which the Price then in effect was based; or (ii) the aggregate cost for all Raw Materials required to manufacture the Finished Product increases or decreases, as applicable, by [* * *] or more of the total Raw Material costs for the Finished Product upon which the Price then in effect was based. To the extent that the Price has been previously adjusted pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) to reflect an increase or decrease in the cost of one or more Raw Materials, the adjustments provided for in (i) and (ii) above shall operate based on the costs attributed to such Raw Material (or Raw Materials) at the time the last such adjustments were made. |
In connection with a Price review pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 6.2, Patheon shall deliver to Santarus reasonably detailed documentation concerning increases or decreases in the cost of Raw Materials or Patheons cost of manufacturing to facilitate the discussion. In connection with all fee adjustment requests pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 6.2, Patheon shall deliver to Santarus a proposed Commercial Pricing Proposal for the respective Finished Product and such budgetary pricing information or other documentation reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that a Price adjustment is justified, provided that Patheon shall have no obligation to provide any supporting documents to the extent such documents are subject to obligations of

19
confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers. Each of Santarus and Patheon shall forthwith use all reasonable efforts to agree on a revised Price in respect of each affected Finished Product. In the event the Parties are unable to reach agreement concerning adjustments to the Price, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Article 13. Until such time as dispute is resolved the price per Finished Product shall be the most current mutually agreed upon Price adjusted by an amount equal to the actual increase in that portion of the Price that relates to Patheons labor costs as reasonably demonstrated by Patheon; provided, however, that following resolution of any dispute regarding Price, the Price agreed upon as part of the dispute resolution shall be applied retroactively for any applicable periods.

Patheons invoice shall reference the Firm Purchase Order number and be sent to the Bill to address of Santarus specified on the Firm Purchase Order, and Patheons packing list must reference the Firm Purchase Order number and be sent to the applicable Ship to address on the Firm Purchase Order. Santarus may withhold a portion of any invoice that it disputes in good faith pending resolution of such dispute.
6.4 Form of Payment. Each Party shall make all payments due the other Party under this Agreement in U.S. Dollars by check made payable to the order of the other Party or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account notified by the receiving Party from time to time to the other Party in writing.
6.5 Taxes. If any sales or value added taxes are payable under the laws of the United States of America, Canada, or any other country, state, territory or jurisdiction having taxing authority, such taxes shall be the responsibility of Santarus. Santarus shall withhold from any payment to Patheon under this Agreement any taxes required to be withheld by Santarus under the applicable laws of the United States of America, Canada or any other country, state, territory or jurisdiction. Upon request, Santarus shall provide Patheon with authority for the withholding obligation, documentation of such withholding and payment in a manner that is satisfactory for purposes of such taxing authority. Any withholdings paid when due hereunder shall be for the account of Patheon.
6.6 Disputed Invoices. In the event that Santarus disputes any amounts under any invoice for Finished Product supplied by Patheon, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 3.5 (with respect to non-conformance of Finished Product) or otherwise under Article 13.

After the Initial Term, this Agreement shall continue in effect; provided that either Party may terminate this Agreement at the end of the Initial Term or during the Renewal Term, by providing the other Party with eighteen (18) months prior written notice of termination.

11.5 Government Action. Santarus may terminate this Agreement for one or more of the Finished Products upon thirty (30) days written notice to Patheon in the event that any governmental agency (including without limitation, the FDA or a Foreign Regulatory Authority) takes any action, or raises any objection, that prevents Santarus from importing, exporting, purchasing, or selling such Finished Product or otherwise makes such activity unlawful.
11.6 Termination for Discontinuation. Santarus may terminate this Agreement for one or more of the Finished Products if at any time it decides to no longer market such Finished Product by giving Patheon six (6) months advance written notice of termination.

Further, in the event of termination by Patheon pursuant to Section 11.2 or pursuant to Section 11.3, or in the event of termination by Santarus pursuant to Sections 11.4, 11.5 or 11.6, Santarus shall reimburse Patheon for: (x) Raw Materials

Patheon shall cooperate with Santarus and assist in the transfer to Santarus of all legal and technical documents concerning applicable OME and Finished Products, including master batch records, validation reports, stability reports and relevant manufacturer authorizations, existing retention samples and all such other documents and materials as may be reasonably necessary or useful for Santarus to source the applicable Finished Products from other qualified Third Parties.
11.8 Accrued Rights. Termination, relinquishment, or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall be without prejudice to any right which shall have accrued to the benefit of either Party prior to such termination, relinquishment, or expiration. Such termination, relinquishment or expiration shall not relieve either Party from obligations which are expressly indicated to survive termination or expiration of this Agreement. The provisions of this Article shall not limit or restrict the rights of any Party to seek remedies or take measures that may be otherwise available to it at law or equity in connection with the enforcement and performance of obligations under this Agreement. Any provision of this Agreement intended by their specific terms or by necessary implication to survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement, including without limitation, Articles, 8, 9, 12 and 13, shall so survive.

Each indemnified Party (the Indemnitee) agrees to give the indemnifying Party (the Indemnitor) prompt written notice of any Claims or discovery of fact upon which the Indemnitee intends to base a request for indemnification.
