and provided, further, that with respect to any Project Plan terminated by Edge hereunder, Edge shall pay to Oakwood upon such termination all amounts due and payable to Oakwood up to and including the date of termination.  Edge’s payment obligations hereunder shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. 10.3         Termination of Agreement for Material Breach.  Either Party may terminate this Agreement for material breach of this Agreement by the other Party upon sixty (60) days’ written notice (provided that Edge may provide such notice prior to the sixtieth (60th) day of such sixty (60)-day period) specifying the nature of the breach, if such breach has not been cured within such sixty (60)-day period; provided, that subject to the last sentence of this Section 10.3, (a) if a breach cannot reasonably be remedied within such sixty (60)-day period, but the breaching Party establishes that it has commenced actions necessary to remedy such breach within such period and is employing ongoing, good-faith efforts to remedy such alleged breach, then such period shall be extended by a further period of thirty (30) days to enable the breaching Party to complete the remedy thereof and (b) if either Party initiates a dispute resolution procedure under Article 11 as permitted under this Agreement before the end of such sixty (60)-day period to resolve the dispute for which termination is being sought and is diligently pursuing such procedure, the cure period set forth in this Section 10.3 shall be tolled and the termination shall become effective only if such breach remains uncured for thirty (30) days after the final resolution of the dispute through such dispute resolution procedure. 10.4         Termination for Failure to Validate the Manufacturing Process for the Product.  Either Party may terminate this Agreement if such Party believes in good faith that the Manufacturing Process for the Product cannot be validated under any Project Plan, despite commercially reasonable efforts to perform the activities under such Project Plan.  If the non-terminating Party disputes the fact that the Manufacturing Process for the Product cannot be validated, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution procedure under Article 11 as a Technical Dispute.  In the case of such a termination, (a) if Edge subsequently validates with a Third Party a manufacturing process for the Product comprised of processes that are substantially similar to the processes comprising the Manufacturing Process for the Product, the Royalty shall be payable to Oakwood for the remainder of the Royalty Term and (b) if Edge subsequently validates with a Third Party any other manufacturing process for the Product, no Royalty shall be payable to Oakwood hereunder. 10.5         Termination for Insufficient Audit Opinion.  Edge may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Oakwood if any financial audit report provided pursuant to Section 10.11 is subject to any “going concern” or like qualification or exception or any qualification or exception as to the scope of such audit or if the working capital ratio provided pursuant to Section 10.11 is less than [**] and (a) Oakwood has not, within sixty (60) days after such report or working capital ratio, as applicable, is provided, commenced actions necessary to address such qualification, exception or inadequate working capital ratio to Edge’s reasonable satisfaction or (b) notwithstanding any actions commenced pursuant to foregoing clause (a), Oakwood has not provided to Edge, within one hundred twenty (120) days after such report or working capital ratio, as applicable, is provided, to Edge a subsequent report that is not subject to any “going concern” or like qualification or exception or any qualification or exception as to the scope of the applicable subsequent audit and has not demonstrated to Edge’s reasonable satisfaction that its working capital ratio is greater than or equal to [**].   [**] Material omitted and separately filed with the Commission under a request for confidential treatment.   24 10.6         Termination for Regulatory Failure.  Edge may terminate this Agreement immediately in written notice to Oakwood if (a) [**], (b) [**] or (c) [**]. 10.7          Additional Effects of Termination.

(c)          If Edge has the right to terminate the Commercial Agreement under Section 8.2 of the Commercial Agreement or if Edge has the right to terminate this Agreement under Section 10.3, Section 10.5 or Section 10.6 of this Agreement, but does not elect to exercise such right, this Agreement and the Commercial Agreement shall continue in full force and effect except that, from and after the date on which such right to terminate accrued, (i) Edge shall have no obligation to purchase the Minimum Order Commitment (as defined in the Commercial Agreement) from Oakwood and (ii) no Royalty shall be payable with respect to Net Sales invoiced on or after the date on which such right to terminate accrued. 10.8         Survival.  Expiration or termination of this Agreement will not relieve the Parties of any obligation, including the obligation to pay outstanding invoices and amounts accruing prior to such expiration or termination. Those provisions that by their terms or intent are required to survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement in order to give effect to the intent of the Parties shall so survive.  Without limiting the foregoing, Section 2.4, Section 3.6, Section 5.1, Section 5.3, Section 5.4, Section 6.2 (but only in the circumstances contemplated under such Section), Section 6.3 (but only in the circumstances contemplated under such Section), Section 6.4, Section 6.5, Section 7.1-7.3, Section 9.3, Section 9.4, Section 10.7, this Section 10.8 and Sections 10.9-10.10 and Article 8, Article 11 and Article 12 will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.   [**] Material omitted and separately filed with the Commission under a request for confidential treatment.   25 10.9         Damages; Relief.  Termination of this Agreement shall not preclude either Party from claiming any other damages, compensation or relief that it may be entitled to hereunder. 10.10       Bankruptcy.  All rights and licenses granted under, or pursuant to, this Agreement by Oakwood to Edge are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code (hereinafter, the “Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined in and construed under Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Parties agree that Edge, as a licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights, remedies and elections under the Bankruptcy Code.  The Parties agree further that they shall enter into an escrow agreement on mutually satisfactory terms (hereinafter, the “Escrow Agreement”), which shall be an “agreement supplementary to” this Agreement, as set forth in and construed under Section 365(n)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, and which shall provide for a repository of essential ancillary documents, intermediates, formulae, compounds and other essential records (hereinafter, the “Escrow Agreement Intellectual Property”).  The Parties also agree that, in the event of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against Oakwood under the Bankruptcy Code, Edge shall be entitled to complete access to the Escrow Agreement Intellectual Property and all embodiments of such Escrow Agreement Intellectual Property, and same, if not already in Edge’s possession, shall promptly be delivered to Edge upon Edge’s written request (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding, unless Oakwood elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement or (b) if not delivered under (a) above, upon rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of Oakwood under Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. 10.11       Annual Financial Information.  Oakwood shall provide to Edge for review by July 1 of each Calendar Year (a) a report with respect to the immediately preceding fiscal year of Oakwood from an independent certified public accounting firm of regionally recognized standing or otherwise acceptable to Edge stating that the most recently completed audit of Oakwood is not subject to any “going concern” or like qualification or exception or any qualification or exception as to the scope of such audit and (b) a statement certified by the Chief Financial Officer of Oakwood setting forth the calculation of Oakwood’s working capital ratio as of the end of the immediately preceding Calendar Quarter.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “working capital ratio” means the ratio of Oakwood’s current assets to Oakwood’s current liabilities (excluding deferred revenue and other extraordinary items).

11. Disputes.

11.1         If any dispute arises out of this Agreement, the Parties will first try to resolve the dispute amicably.  Either Party may send a notice of dispute to the other, in which case such dispute will be referred to the Project Managers (as defined in the Commercial Agreement) within ten (10) Business Days from receipt of the notice of dispute.  If the Project Managers fail to resolve the matter within ten (10) Business Days after such referral, the dispute shall be referred to the Senior Executives (as defined in the Commercial Agreement).  Except as set forth in Section 11.2, if the Senior Executives fail to resolve the matter within ten (10) Business Days after referral, either Party may initiate litigation in accordance with Section 12.6.   [**] Material omitted and separately filed with the Commission under a request for confidential treatment.   26 11.2         If the Senior Executives (as defined in the Commercial Agreement) fail to resolve a dispute under Section 4.3(b) or Section 10.4 (a “Technical Dispute”) within ten (10) Business Days after referral to the Senior Executives, then either Party may refer such Technical Dispute to an independent testing organization, or to a consultant of recognized repute within the United States pharmaceutical industry, in either case mutually agreed upon by the Parties (the “Expert”) for resolution, the appointment of which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by either Party.  The determination of the Expert shall be final and binding upon the Parties, absent manifest error (in which event the dispute may be submitted to the courts for resolution or to such other alternative dispute resolution procedure upon which the Parties mutually agree in writing).  The fees and expenses of the Expert making such determination shall be borne by Oakwood if the Expert resolves the Technical Dispute in favor of Edge and by Edge if such Technical Dispute is resolved in favor of Oakwood.  If the Parties cannot agree that a dispute is a Technical Dispute, Section 11.1 shall apply. 11.3          Nothing in this Article 11 shall prevent either Party from obtaining interim relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to preserve its rights pending resolution of any dispute hereunder.
