Improvement Initiatives. 3.2.2.1 Veolia and the Authority will work jointly to evaluate opportunities for efficiencies and/or revenue enhancements, and where potential improvements are identified they will submit business case reports to the Steering Committee for approval on an ongoing basis (the “Recommended Initiatives”). Each business case will outline how savings are measured for that particular Recommended Initiative (e.g. metering of utility usage, measurement of reduced chemical consumption, etc.). 3.2.2.2 Those Recommended Initiatives that are approved by the Steering Committee will be presented to the Board for formal approval. Once presented, the Board will consider each Recommended Initiative and will either approve, reject, or modify such Recommended Initiative within 30 days. For each Recommended Initiative that is approved, Veolia will work with the Authority to implement it. 3.2.2.3 Veolia and the Authority will share equally in the savings achieved from Recommended Initiatives, however and whenever implemented, during the Term of the contract and for a period of four years following the Term. Shared savings will be determined and paid in accordance with the procedures set forth in Appendix B. After the four year period following the Term, all savings will inure solely to the benefit of the Authority. During the time period in which Veolia is sharing in savings, in consideration for the compensation received Veolia will at its own expense conduct an annual review of all implemented Recommended Initiatives to confirm the savings and operational status of each.Veolia will submit a report to the Board summarizing the status of each effort along with any recommendations that may be considered in order to ensure or enhance the sustainability of each. 3.2.2.4 Though Veolia and the Authority may continue to identify Recommended Initiatives throughout the Term, in January 2013 Veolia will present a consolidated report of Recommended Initiatives that have been presented, are at that time before the Board, or are in the process of being developed and expected to come before the Board. 3.2.2.5 In the event that (i) the Board rejects or does not approve the implementation of 25% or more of the Recommended Initiatives, as that number is determined by reference to both the total number or total expected value of such Recommended Initiatives, or (ii) this Agreement is terminated prior to the end of the Term for reasons other than Veolia’s material breach, then the Authority will ...

Improvement Initiatives. The Parties are committed to continuous improvement initiatives in an effort to achieve cost savings in the Manufacture of Bulk Intermediate and Bulk Drug, including reducing the acquisition cost of Raw Materials and achieving efficiencies in the Manufacturing process without adversely impacting safety, quality, Manufacturing capability or compliance with cGMP and the Specifications (“Improvements”).

Improvement Initiatives. From time to time either ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or Cadence individually or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Cadence working collaboratively may propose changes to the Normal Manufacturing Process that result in improvements to efficiency, throughput, Product quality, Materials cost or other benefits to either or both of the Parties (“Improvements”). 7.4.1 Cadence may at any time request Improvements, provided, that Cadence and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agree to a Development Plan to the Development Agreement that details the project to implement the Improvement, and provided, that the Improvement does not adversely affect Facility operations or lead to major process changes outside of the Cadence Owned Equipment. Any costs and expenses of such Improvements, as well as any cost savings that result from the Improvement, shall be allocated as mutually agreed in writing between the Parties in the Development Plan. To be clear, the percentage split between the Parties of the actual savings attributed to Improvements requiring capital investment to the Facility shall be agreed upon at the time that such capital investments are proposed. Ownership of the capital equipment and capital improvements resultant from such capital investment shall also be agreed upon at the time that the capital improvements are proposed. *** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. 7.4.2 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may implement Improvements of its own and sole initiative, provided, that any such Improvements initiated by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall only be made in accordance with Section 10.8, and provided, that any such Improvement shall be made at ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ sole cost and expense.
