Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, however, during the Product launch phase of the Parties’ Commercialization efforts, the Parties may by mutual agreement substitute performance metrics [**] in the Call Plan.

Such procedures shall be reasonably designed to enable each Party to verify the quantity and positions of Details provided by the other Party and the performance of other obligations under the Call Plan by the other Party. |
| (b) | Each Party shall have the right to review and audit the other Party’s call and other performance reporting records during regular business hours to confirm that the other Party is meeting its Detailing and other obligations under this Agreement and the Call Plan and to verify the Details and other performance reported by the other Party in accordance with Section 2.4(a). |

| 2.6 | DETAIL SHORTFALLS; XXXXXX TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE. |
(a) In the event that either Party fails to perform at least [**] percent ([**]%) of its Detail Percentage or such other performance obligation pursuant to a substitute metric established pursuant to Section 2.2(b) (such Party, the “Detail Breaching Party”) for any period of [**] during the term of this Agreement (a “Detail Shortfall Period”), the Party other than the Detail Breaching Party (such other Party, the “Non-Detail Breaching Party”) shall, subject to the Detail Breaching Party’s right to cure such failure as set forth below in this Section 2.6(a), have the right to terminate this Agreement. Such right to terminate shall be exercisable as follows:
(i) The Non-Detail Breaching Party must provide notice of termination to the Detail Breaching Party within [**] after the end of such Detail Shortfall Period (or within [**] after completion of any verification of the Detail Breaching Party’s Details pursuant to Section 2.4 conducted at the Non-Detail Breaching Party’s request pursuant to Section 2.4 for such Detail Shortfall Period, whichever date is later).
(ii) The Detail Breaching Party shall then have a period of [**], commencing on the date of the Non-Detail Breaching Party’s notice, to commence providing at least [**] percent ([**]%) of its Detail Percentage or other performance obligations pursuant to substitute metrics established pursuant to Section 2.2(b).
(iii) If the Detail Breaching Party commences providing at least [**] percent ([**]%) of its Detail Percentage or other performance obligations pursuant to substitute metrics established pursuant to Section 2.2(b) within such [**] period, continues providing such Detail Percentage or other obligations for at least [**] within such [**] period and undertakes to continue providing its Detail Percentage or such other performance obligations after the end of such [**] period (an “Efforts Cure”), this Agreement shall not terminate.
(iv) If the Detail Breaching Party fails to effect an Efforts Cure within such [**] period, this Agreement shall terminate at the end of such [**] period.
(v) Notwithstanding Sections 2.6(a)(ii) and 2.6(a)(iii) above, neither Party shall have the right to avoid termination under this Section 2.6(a) by effecting an Efforts Cure more frequently than once [**].
(vi) The damages for which a Detail Breaching Party under this Section 2.6 shall be responsible shall be calculated over the Detail Shortfall Period as follows: the product of (i) the difference between [**]% and the percentage of Details or other performance obligations achieved by the Detail Breaching Party during the Detail Shortfall Period as measured against the applicable goal set forth in the Call Plan and (ii) the total Sales Force Cost for the Detail Breaching Party during the Detail Shortfall Period as set forth in the applicable Commercialization Plan and Commercialization Budget. By way of example, if the Detail Breaching Party achieved [**]% of the Details required under the Call Plan over the Detail Shortfall Period and the Sales Force Costs for the Detail Breaching Party for such period were $[**], the damages payable by the Detail Breaching Party would be an amount equal to $[**], calculated as the difference between [**]% and [**]% (which equals [**]%) times $[**].

7
purposes of damages payable by XxXxxx as provided in clause (x) of Section 2.6(d)(i), XxXxxx shall be treated as the Detail Breaching Party for purposes of this Section 2.6(a)(vi), and the [**] ending immediately preceding the date of termination shall be the Detail Shortfall Period.

A termination of this Agreement by XxXxxx as set forth in Section 2.6(a) above and this Section 2.6(b) shall not result in an expiration of the Term of the Collaboration Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(a) of the Collaboration Agreement or itself entitle XxXxxx to terminate the Collaboration Agreement.
