[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, IS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.
30
XenoPort on the [ * ] after delivery. But Patheon will continue to be liable for (i) the failure of any Products to conform to Specifications (unless the failure to conform to Specifications is due to occurrences after the Products are delivered to the carrier or freight forwarder that affect or alter the Products or actions taken or failed to be taken that are not otherwise caused by or the responsibility of Patheon), or (ii) the failure of Patheon to comply with the Specifications, the Quality Agreement, cGMPs and Laws. |
(c) | Latent Defects. Except where the shelf-life of a Product has expired, XenoPort will have the right to reject Product if it later discovers non-obvious defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product and provides notice to Patheon within [ * ] after discovery thereof by XenoPort. |
(d) | Determination of Deficiency. |
(i) | Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Patheon will have [ * ] to advise XenoPort by notice in writing that Patheon disagrees with the contents of such Deficiency Notice. If Patheon provides such a notice of disagreement, Patheons most senior quality assurance officer and XenoPorts Quality Head, External Supply Quality, or any other persons as they may designate in writing, will confer to review samples and/or batch records, as appropriate to determine whether any Products identified in the Deficiency Notice deviate from the Specifications, the Quality Agreement, cGMPs or Laws.

If the independent laboratorys evaluation certifies that the shipment of Products: (A) deviates from the Specifications, (B) was not manufactured in accordance with cGMPs, Laws or the Quality Agreement, or (C) is nonconforming due to the failure of a Patheon-supplied Material or any Materials purchased by Patheon from Patheons suppliers, then XenoPort will be entitled to reject the Products, and the cost of the testing, evaluation by the independent laboratory and replacement XenoPort-provided Materials will be borne by Patheon. If the independent laboratorys evaluation certifies that: (X) the Product shipment meets the Specifications; (Y) Patheon is not found to have failed to comply with the Specifications, the Quality Agreement, cGMPs or Laws, or (Z) the failure of |
[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, IS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.
31
the Product is caused by failure of any XenoPort-supplied Materials, then XenoPort will thereafter be deemed to have accepted delivery of the Products, and the cost of the testing and evaluation by the independent laboratory will be borne by XenoPort. |
(iii) | If the independent laboratory cannot determine that the failure of Product to meet Specifications, the Quality Agreement, cGMPs or Laws could be attributed to either Party, per Section 8.4(d)(ii) above: |
(A) | Patheon will [ * ] as per Section [ * ]; |
(B) | [ * ] will absorb the cost of any [ * ]-supplied Materials; |
(C) | Any [ * ]-supplied Material used by Patheon for the manufacture of the Products under investigation will not be included in the annual yield per Section 4.2; and |
(D) | The Parties will meet to determine how to proceed. |
(e) | Notice. If after the release of the Products, either Party becomes aware that any batch of the Products may have a Nonconformity, despite any testing and quality assurance activities, that Party will immediately notify the other Party. |
(f) | Shortages. XenoPort will inform Patheon of any claim relating to shortage in the number of units of Product in any shipment of Products within [ * ] following receipt of the shipment. If XenoPort determines there is a shortage in any shipment in the Product volumes indicated on the applicable Purchase Order(s), then: (i) XenoPort will only be required to pay for actual quantities delivered; (ii) Patheon will [ * ], if requested by XenoPort, to promptly ship appropriate quantities of Product to make up for the shortage (but Patheon will not be required to manufacture an additional batch of Product if the shortage is [ * ] of the intended or required shipment amount), and if Patheon is unable to promptly ship appropriate quantities to make up for the shortage, Patheon will inform XenoPort and the Parties will promptly discuss reasonable, mutually agreed, actions that can be taken to mitigate the shortage (which may potentially include acceleration of the next shipment); and (iii) without limiting the foregoing, the Parties will promptly confer to discuss any shortage to try to identify the cause, and to discuss reasonable steps the Parties may take to reduce the likelihood of similar shortfalls in future shipments. The Parties acknowledge that if the shortage [ * ] of the intended or required amount, the provisions of Section 18.3 will also apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, quantities actually shipped pursuant to a Purchase Order may vary as set forth in Schedule 7.9 and still be deemed to be in substantial compliance with the Purchase Order. Disagreements as to shortages in the amount of Products shipped by Patheon will be dealt with as [ * ] agreed to by the Parties. |

32
(g) | Deviation Reports. If, during the manufacture or other handling of a Product by Patheon, (i) the process or analytical limits vary from typical or established report ranges, release guidelines or release limits, (ii) there is [ * ] evidence that Specifications, the Quality Agreement, cGMPs or Laws were not followed in production of the Products, (iii) there is [ * ] evidence that the Products fail to conform to Specifications, (iv) other events or conditions occur (including, without limitation, events first identified as affecting non-XenoPort products) that could [ * ] adversely affect the quality of the Products or otherwise are [ * ], or (v) any physical characteristic or attribute of the Products is recognizable at any time during the manufacturing process to be [ * ] by an individual with appropriate technical knowledge and experience [ * ], then Patheon will prepare [ * ] following the discovery of the deviation a written report detailing the deviation (a Deviation Report) and promptly send the Deviation Report, along with all supporting documentation, to XenoPort. Patheon will include in its Deviation Report its analysis and recommendation for Product disposition. The Deviation Report will be attached to, and will accompany, copies of all relevant batch records. |
(h) | Nonconformity. If either Party becomes aware or has [ * ] basis to believe that any batch or shipment of Products may have a Nonconformity, at any time regardless of the status of Patheons testing and quality assurance activities or of XenoPorts acceptance as provided above, that Party will notify the other Party within [ * ] of becoming aware of a Nonconformity. Nonconformity means a product characteristic, or potential for existence of product characteristic, that (i) [ * ] attributable to Patheons failure to manufacture, test, package, store, label, release or deliver any Product in accordance with the Specifications, the Quality Agreement, cGMPs or Laws, (ii) causes any Product to fail to conform to the Specifications, or (iii) could [ * ] lead to a recall or withdrawal of a Product. If a Nonconformity occurs, Patheon will immediately conduct an investigation in accordance with this Agreement and, until resolution of the investigation, handle the Products as provided in this Agreement. |
(i) | Products Subject to a Nonconformity or Deviation Report. Any batch or shipment of Product that is the subject of a Nonconformity or of a Deviation Report will be handled as follows: |
(i) | Products held in inventory at the Facility will be placed on Hold status and will not be shipped to XenoPort or its designee, unless directed otherwise by XenoPort; |
(ii) | For any Products shipped to XenoPort and held in stock by XenoPort, XenoPort will maintain a Hold or Unpassed status until Patheon has completed any investigations pursuant to this Agreement and approved the disposition of the Product subject to XenoPorts review and approval of the Nonconformity or the Deviation Report; and |
[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, IS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.
33
(iii) | Payment for these Products whether shipped or unshipped will not be due from XenoPort until Patheon has completed any investigations pursuant to this Agreement and XenoPort has accepted the Product subject to the Nonconformity or Deviation Report. For the avoidance of doubt, XenoPort will be responsible for payment of invoices relating to Products which are ultimately not rejected nor recalled per this Article VIII, and invoices for Product ultimately rejected or recalled will be processed as per Section 8.4(c) or Section 8.4(d) as appropriate. |
Upon learning of any Nonconformity or in connection with a Product recall under Section 8.8, XenoPort will have the right to suspend production of the affected Products at the Facility until the Parties mutually agree that the cause of the Nonconformity has been remedied or addressed. Except for previously scheduled, short-term shutdowns required for performance of annual maintenance activities associated with the Manufacturing Services, Patheon will not suspend production without XenoPorts prior written consent. During the period of suspended production, XenoPort will be relieved of all financial obligations associated with any Firm Orders or portion thereof that is not produced as a direct consequence of the suspension.
8.5 Product Complaints.
XenoPort will have the sole responsibility for responding to questions and complaints from XenoPorts customers. Questions or complaints received by Patheon from XenoPorts customers will be promptly referred to XenoPorts Senior Vice President, Regulatory Affairs and Quality, or his designee. XenoPort will promptly inform Patheon of any and all complaints that XenoPort receives which implicate Patheons manufacturing or other processes at the Facility. Patheon will cooperate as reasonably required to allow XenoPort to determine the cause of and resolve any customer questions and complaints. This assistance will include follow-up investigations, including testing. In addition, Patheon will provide XenoPort with all mutually agreed upon information that will enable XenoPort to respond properly to questions or complaints relating to the Products as provided in the Quality Agreement. Unless it is determined that the cause of any customer complaint resulted from a failure by [ * ] to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, all costs incurred in respect of this Section 8.5 will be borne by [ * ].
8.6 Adverse Events.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the foregoing occurrences will constitute an Other Patheon Default to the extent the occurrence is a direct result of (i) a material breach by XenoPort of a representation, warranty or covenant hereunder; (ii) any material failure by XenoPort to comply with applicable Laws or to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement; (iii) Patheons compliance with the Specifications or an order of a Governmental Authority directed to Patheon specifically regarding its compliance with cGMPs or Laws; or (iv) a Force Majeure Event.
