(b) If any modification to any Product Specifications or the process descriptions for the Product filed with the FDA and other Regulatory Authorities in the Territory is required by a Regulatory Authority (a “Required Change”), and the Parties fail to agree to changes to the Supply Price or responsibility for additional costs that may be incurred by Supplier due to such Required Change despite good faith attempts to reach such resolution, the matter shall be resolved pursuant to Section 15.2; provided, however nothing contained herein shall prevent either Party from taking any and all actions it reasonably believes are required to comply with all Applicable Laws and all obligations imposed by any Regulatory Authority. Supplier will implement any Required Change (but under no circumstances without the consent of TESARO), subject to agreement by the Parties on any conforming changes to the Supply Price or responsibility for additional costs that may be incurred by Supplier due to such Required Change. [***] Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, TESARO shall remain obligated to reimburse Corden for all non-cancelable charges for all Product for which a Purchase Order has been issued as of the time of receipt of a notice from a Regulatory Authority that renders the Product unsaleable, but otherwise shall be relieved of the obligations to purchase additional forecasted quantities of Product, or the applicable portion thereof, to the extent that the action of a Regulatory Authority has rendered the Product unsaleable until the Required Change is implemented. Supplier shall be relieved of its obligation to manufacture Product to the extent TESARO is relieved of its obligation to purchase Product. |

This assistance may include follow-up investigations, including testing. In addition, Supplier will give TESARO any information reasonably requested by TESARO to respond properly to questions or complaints about the Product as set forth in the Quality Agreement. Unless it is determined that the cause of the complaint resulted from a failure by Supplier to Manufacture the Product in accordance with the Product Requirements, all costs incurred under this Section 7.9 shall be borne by TESARO. |
7.10 Information. |
(a) Data Verification and Reports. Upon request, Supplier will supply on an annual basis all Product data in its control, including release test results, complaint test results, and all investigations (in manufacturing, testing and storage), that TESARO reasonably requires in order to complete any filing under any applicable regulatory regime, including any annual report to be submitted to the FDA under Title 21 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations, Section 314.81(b)(2).

12.3 Claims and Proceedings. |
(a) Each Party will notify the other Party promptly in writing of any threatened or pending Claim or proceeding covered by this Section 12 and will include sufficient information to enable the other Party to assess the facts; provided, however, the failure to provide such notice within a reasonable period of time will not relieve the indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 12 except to the extent the indemnifying Party’s ability to defend the Claim is materially prejudiced by such failure. Subject to Section 12.3(b), the indemnifying Party will have the right to defend, negotiate, and settle such Claims. The indemnified Party will cooperate in good faith with the indemnifying Party, at the indemnifying Party’s request and expense, in the defense of all such Claims for which indemnification is sought, with the indemnifying Party being permitted to maintain control of such defense through legal counsel selected by such Party. The indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such matter and to employ counsel at its own expense to assist therein; provided, however, that the indemnifying Party shall have final decision-making authority regarding all aspects of the defense of any Claim. The Parties understand that no insurance deductible will be credited against losses for which a Party is responsible under this Section 12. |
(b) Unless the indemnified Party otherwise expressly consents in writing, the indemnified Party will not be bound by a settlement or compromise entered into without its prior written consent unless the settlement contains an absolute waiver of liability for the indemnified Party and no admission of wrong-doing on behalf of the indemnified Party, and indemnifying Party has acted in compliance with the requirements of Section 12.3(a). In no event will the indemnifying Party have any liability with respect to any settlement entered into without the indemnifying Party’s prior written consent. |

utilities or common carriers, act of God or act, omission or delay in acting by any governmental authority (such events being defined as “Force Majeure Event”); provided, that the Party seeking relief from its obligations advises the other Party forthwith of the Force Majeure Event. A Party whose performance of obligations has been delayed by Force Majeure Event shall use commercially reasonable efforts to overcome the effect of the Force Majeure Event as soon as possible.
