Article VII
Orders, Shipment, Invoicing, Payment
7.1 Orders and Forecasts
(a) | Rolling Forecasts. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement and each Product Addendum, XenoPort will provide Patheon with a written non-binding [ * ] forecast of the volume of each Product that XenoPort then anticipates will be required to be produced and delivered to XenoPort during [ * ] of the [ * ] period, and this forecast will be updated by XenoPort [ * ] on a rolling [ * ] basis (the “Forecast”). If XenoPort becomes aware that, for any given Product, a significant change of at least [ * ] in any given [ * ], or in the aggregate, in the Forecast is required, then it will provide Patheon with advance notice of the changes by providing an updated Forecast, which will supersede the prior Forecast. |
(b) | Firm Orders. On or before [ * ], XenoPort will issue firm written or electronic orders (“Firm Orders”) for the Products to be produced and delivered to XenoPort on a date not less than [ * ] in which the Firm Order is submitted. These Firm Orders submitted to Patheon will specify XenoPort’s Purchase Order number, quantities by Product type, [ * ] delivery schedule and any other elements necessary to ensure the timely production and shipment of the Products. The quantities of Products ordered in these written orders will be firm and binding on XenoPort and will not be subject to reduction by XenoPort. Notwithstanding the above, upon Product approval, XenoPort will be allowed to issue [ * ] that utilizes the Equipment, which [ * ] will be deemed a Firm Order with a delivery date of less than [ * ]. |
(c) | [ * ] Forecast. By [ * ], XenoPort will provide Patheon with a written non-binding [ * ] forecast (broken down by [ * ]) of the volume of each Product XenoPort then anticipates will be required to be produced and delivered to XenoPort during the [ * ] period (or, if shorter, the remaining period in the Term). |
7.2 Reliance by Patheon.

Purchase Orders and Firm Orders as per Sections 7.1(a) and (b)) as more fully set out in the applicable Product Addendum (the “Exclusive and Long Lead Time Materials Purchasing Summary”). The Exclusive and Long Lead Time Materials Purchasing Summary will also indicate which Materials have a limited shelf-life, which are subject to minimum order quantities as specified by [ * ] supplier, and the amount used per batch. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2 above and to the extent that the Materials [ * ] will be responsible for the costs of those Materials identified on the applicable Product Addendum that are purchased by [ * ] for use under this Agreement and are thereafter rendered obsolete due to a [ * ]requested change in Specification or the termination of this Agreement or the applicable Product Addendum. If any of the Exclusive and Long Lead Time Materials become obsolete, XenoPort will have the option to retest or instruct Patheon to discard or destroy the Materials. Upon written approval from [ * ] cost estimate, [ * ] will be responsible for any cost associated with this Material additional testing. [ * ] will [ * ] provide specific pricing information to [ * ], including obtaining consent from [ * ] suppliers to disclose the same. If the Parties cannot agree on the Exclusive and Long Lead Time Materials costs, then a Selected Accounting Firm will conclusively determine the amount of disputed Exclusive and Long Lead Time Materials costs. Patheon will hold sufficient quantity of the XenoPort-supplied Materials and Exclusive and Long Lead Time Materials in accordance with the applicable Product Addendum and the manufacture of Products per Section 4.1(o) and Section 7.2.
7.4 Purchase Orders.
XenoPort will deliver to Patheon one or more purchase orders (“Purchase Orders”) for the aggregate Product volumes in each Firm Order. Each Purchase Order will specify the volumes of Products ordered, the delivery date and the destination for delivery of the Products by the carrier or freight forwarder. Patheon will not [ * ] reject any delivery dates or destinations for delivery of the Products requested by XenoPort. The Purchase Orders may be delivered electronically and may be incorporated as part of the Forecast per Section 7.1. Patheon will be obligated to make the Products available on the delivery date specified by XenoPort. If Patheon will not be able to make Products available by the delivery date specified in a Purchase Order, Patheon will notify XenoPort promptly upon discovery of its inability to comply with the terms of this Section. In addition, Patheon will take such actions as [ * ] requested by XenoPort to minimize the damage to XenoPort caused by Patheon’s inability to meet this shipping schedule. Except as provided in Section 7.5 below, all Purchase Orders will be binding on Patheon. XenoPort will issue Purchase Orders to Patheon not less than [ * ] prior to the earliest requested delivery date for any Products to be shipped under the Purchase Order. Patheon will accept Purchase Orders only from XenoPort personnel authorized by XenoPort to submit Purchase Orders. If: (a) Patheon receives from Third Parties: (i) purchase orders for XenoPort-supplied Materials, or (ii) requests for shipment of Products, Intermediate Products or XenoPort-supplied Materials to sites other than a facility designated on the applicable Product Addendum, or (b) Products or XenoPort-supplied Materials are lost or stolen, Patheon will notify XenoPort within [ * ] of the order, request or event.

7.5 Accommodations.
Due to [ * ] circumstances, XenoPort may deliver to Patheon a Purchase Order for Product volumes in excess of those specified in any Firm Order. If XenoPort delivers a Purchase Order requesting that Patheon provide Product volumes in excess of the Product volume specified in any Firm Order, Patheon will provide XenoPort with the excess Product volumes [ * ] specified in any Firm Order. Upon acceptance by Patheon in accordance with Section 7.6, the Firm Order and any additional product volumes [ * ] will be binding upon Patheon. If XenoPort delivers a Purchase Order requesting that Patheon provide Product volumes [ * ], Patheon will [ * ] provide XenoPort with the excess Product volumes.
7.6 Patheon Acceptance.
Not later than [ * ] after delivery by XenoPort per Section 7.1 or Section 7.4 of the Firm Order and the Purchase Order as applicable, or as revised per Section 7.5, Patheon will notify XenoPort in writing of its acceptance of the Firm Order and Purchase Orders issued under this Section 7 and confirm the delivery date of the Product shipments. Where Patheon provides XenoPort with written notice that it is unable to meet the Firm Order and Purchase Orders issued pursuant to this Article VII, XenoPort and Patheon will meet to discuss and agree on a revised Firm Order/Purchase Order for Product requirements. If no written confirmation has been provided by Patheon within [ * ] after XenoPort’s delivery per Section 7.1, 7.4 or Section 7.5 of the Firm Order and the Purchase Order as applicable, then it will be deemed to be accepted and a binding obligation of the Parties.
7.7 Shipments.
Shipments of Products will be made [ * ] unless otherwise agreed in a Product Addendum. Risk of loss or of damage to Products will remain with [ * ] until Patheon loads the Products onto the carrier’s vehicle for shipment at the shipping point at which time risk of loss or damage will transfer to [ * ] or its designee; provided, however, that nothing in this Article VII will in any manner limit [ * ] rights elsewhere in this Agreement. Patheon will, in accordance with XenoPort’s instructions and as agent for XenoPort, [ * ] (i) arrange for shipping [ * ] and (ii) [ * ] obtain any export license or other official authorization necessary to export the Products. [ * ] will arrange for insurance and will select the freight carrier used [ * ] to ship Products and may monitor [ * ] shipping and freight practices as they pertain to this Agreement. Products will be transported in accordance with the Specifications. If any Products are rejected by [ * ] under this Agreement, and these Products are to be returned to [ * ], then risk of loss or damage to Products, costs of shipment, insurance and export, if applicable, with respect to these rejected Products will pass to [ * ] when the Products are placed in the possession of the carrier for return to [ * ]; provided, title will remain with XenoPort. Products will be transported in accordance with the Specifications and the terms of the Quality Agreement. Because timely performance under this Agreement is essential to both Patheon and XenoPort, Patheon will give timely advance notice to XenoPort of its inability to make Products available as required by any Purchase Order or otherwise perform its obligations under
[ * ] = 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.
27
this Agreement. Patheon will ship Products to XenoPort and its designees with the minimum shelf life specified in the applicable Product Addendum. Patheon will not be excused for the failure of any Product to meet the shelf life requirements resulting from any inventory hold or rejection by XenoPort instituted to investigate any Product Nonconformity, defect or complaint.
7.8 Invoices and Payment.
Invoices will be sent to XenoPort as per the process identified by XenoPort in writing from time to time, upon the release and delivery of the Product by Patheon to XenoPort. Patheon will also submit to XenoPort, with each shipment of Products, a duplicate copy of the invoice covering such shipment or other costs as per this Agreement. Each invoice will, to the extent applicable, identify XenoPort Purchase Order number, Product numbers, names and quantities, unit price, batch number and the total amount to be remitted by XenoPort. XenoPort will pay all invoices within [ * ] of the date of the invoice. All payments to be made under this Agreement will be made in United States dollars unless otherwise specified herein or agreed by the Parties.
7.9 Key Performance Indicators.
XenoPort and Patheon will use Key Performance Indicators to evaluate Patheon’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, the indicators set forth on Schedule 7.9 to this Agreement are the “Key Performance Indicators.” The Key Performance Indicators will reflect the Parties’ joint understanding as to the standards to be met by Patheon. Patheon will [ * ] to achieve these measures.
7.10 Meetings.
Upon execution of this Agreement, each Party will appoint one representative as its relationship manager for this arrangement. Unless otherwise mutually agreed, the Parties will meet, either personally or by telephone conference, no less than [ * ] to discuss the forecasts delivered by XenoPort pursuant to this Agreement, the Key Performance Indicators and other matters relevant to the supply of Products hereunder (each meeting hereinafter referred to as the “[ * ] Meeting”). On a periodic basis as mutually agreed by the Parties, but no less than [ * ], the Parties will meet to discuss key factors impacting manufacture and supply of Products, strategies for improving the processes related to the manufacture of the Products, to report other developments in XenoPort’s global supply chain and, without relieving any Party of or amending any obligations under this Agreement, to designate additional persons for communications relating to the performance of this Agreement (each meeting hereinafter referred to as the “Periodic Business/Supply Review Meeting”).

[ * ] = 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, Patheon’s most senior quality assurance officer and XenoPort’s 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.

(ii) | If, after completion of an investigation pursuant to this Agreement, XenoPort and Patheon fail to resolve whether any Products identified in the Deficiency Notice deviate from the Specifications, the Quality Agreement, cGMPs or Laws, then the Parties will mutually select an independent laboratory to evaluate if the Products deviate from the Specifications, the Quality Agreement, cGMPs or Laws. If the independent laboratory’s 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 Patheon’s 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 laboratory’s 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 Patheon’s testing and quality assurance activities or of XenoPort’s 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 Patheon’s 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 XenoPort’s review and approval of the Nonconformity or the Deviation Report; and |

The standard of care required of the Receiving Party in protecting the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information will be at least the same standard of care that the Receiving Party uses in protecting its own Confidential Information, but in no event will the Receiving Party use less than a reasonable standard of care. Confidential Information may be used by the Receiving Party only for the purpose of performing under this Agreement. |
(b) | Permitted Exceptions. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 16.3(a), the Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information (i) to its employees or outside advisors and financing sources in connection with this Agreement who reasonably need to know this information for the purpose of advising or assisting it in connection with this Agreement (each, a “Representative”), (ii) to a Third Party pursuant to a contractual obligation under a material contract, whereby failure to disclose such Confidential Information will have material adverse effect on the Disclosing Party, and (iii) to Third Parties to the extent required by Law, and then only pursuant to Section 16.5. Prior to disclosing any Confidential Information to any Representative pursuant to this Section 16.3(b), the Receiving Party will inform the Representative of the proprietary nature of the Confidential Information and will require the Representative to agree in writing (except in the case of outside legal advisors or auditors engaged to prepare the Patheon’s financial statements, who may orally agree) to be bound by the requirements of this Article XVI and not to use or disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party except as permitted herein. Each Party agrees to be responsible for any breach of these confidentiality obligations by its Representatives. It is specifically agreed that (i) XenoPort may disclose Patheon Confidential Information to any XenoPort Affiliate under the same conditions provided in this Article XVI on a need-to-know basis and (ii) Patheon may disclose XenoPort Confidential Information to any Patheon Affiliate under the same conditions provided in this Article XVI on a need-to-know basis. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, XenoPort may disclose Certificates, investigation reports and other Manufacturing related documents to a Third Party where XenoPort or an Affiliate has a supply obligation to the Third Party; by way of example, an authorized generic supply agreement. |

16.5 Notification of Mandatory Disclosure.
(a) | Procedures. If the Receiving Party is required by Law or by judicial or administrative process to disclose any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the Receiving Party will (i) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of this requirement and identify the documents so required thereby, so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy and/or waive compliance by the Receiving Party with the provisions of this Article XVI, (ii) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow the scope of this requirement, (iii) assist the Disclosing Party in seeking a protective order or equivalent, and (iv) comply with any applicable protective order or equivalent. |

16.6 Publicity.
Except as required by Law, Patheon will not issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement, advertisement or disclosure about this Agreement, any of the Products, or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of XenoPort, this consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and XenoPort will not issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement about this Agreement or that refers directly or indirectly to Patheon as a manufacturer of the Products without the prior written consent of Patheon, this consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

If any disclosure is required by Law, the Parties will consult concerning the form of announcement prior to the disclosure being made.
16.7 Return of Confidential Information.
At any time upon the request of the Disclosing Party, to the extent the Confidential Information is not [ * ] necessary to enable a Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Receiving Party will promptly return to the Disclosing Party or destroy the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and will destroy all copies thereof, together with all notes, drawings, abstracts and other information relating to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information prepared by the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives, regardless of the medium in which the Confidential Information is stored. But the Receiving Party may maintain a single archival copy of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in its files for purposes of establishing the extent of disclosures by the Disclosing Party under this Agreement. At the Disclosing Party’s written request, the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that is otherwise required to be returned to it will be destroyed by the Receiving Party, and this destruction will be certified in writing by an authorized officer of the Receiving Party. The return and/or destruction of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as provided above will not relieve the Receiving Party of its other obligations under this Article XVI.
Article XVII

A Party claiming a right to excused performance under this Article XVII will immediately notify the other Party in writing of the extent of its inability to perform, which notice will specify the occurrence beyond its reasonable control that prevents the performance. Neither Party will be entitled to rely on a Force Majeure Event to relieve it from an obligation to pay money (including any interest for delayed payment) that would otherwise be due and payable under this Agreement. Any failure by Patheon to deliver Product pursuant to a Purchase Order delivered by XenoPort in accordance with the terms of this Agreement due to an order, injunction, or any other action by a Governmental Authority will not constitute a Force Majeure Event. If, as a result of the conditions referred to in this Article XVII, Patheon is unable to fully perform its obligations for a period of [ * ], and Patheon foresees that it would not resume its operations in the following [ * ] thereafter, then XenoPort will have the right to terminate this Agreement without liability to Patheon upon [ * ] prior notice to Patheon.

18.3 Failure to Supply.
(a) If Patheon fails to deliver any Product by the specified Delivery Date, in [ * ] of the aggregate volumes of that Product ordered within any rolling [ * ] period and this failure is not the result of XenoPort’s failure to timely deliver to Patheon XenoPort-supplied Materials that meet the Specifications as required in this Agreement, then the Parties will meet to discuss a corrective action plan. If Patheon fails to cure the failure within [ * ], then Patheon will [ * ] remedy the failure of supply of Product, including manufacture and shipment of Product where [ * ] will be responsible for all associated [ * ] and [ * ] will be responsible to pay for Product under the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If Patheon fails to implement the corrective action plan referenced in Section 18.3(a) above within [ * ] of the initial failure, this failure will be considered a Patheon Material Default and Patheon will, if XenoPort elects, provide [ * ] assistance to XenoPort, as agreed by the Parties, in performing technology transfer of that Product to a XenoPort Affiliate or authorized contract manufacturing facility (including appropriate technical resources [ * ]), provided that Patheon will continue to supply XenoPort quantities of Product ordered by XenoPort in accordance with this Agreement.

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) Patheon’s 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.

(ii) | If this Agreement is terminated by XenoPort as a result of a Patheon Material Default, Patheon will also give XenoPort [ * ] technical support to transfer manufacture of the Product to a third-party or XenoPort manufacturing site. |
(iii) | In any event, XenoPort will also be entitled to seek all other remedies available under law or in equity. |
(b) | Other Patheon Default. Upon the occurrence of an Other Patheon Default, XenoPort will have no right to terminate this Agreement or any Product Addendum, but XenoPort will have the right to seek all other remedies available under law, subject to Article XIV. |

Accordingly, if this occurs, each of Patheon and XenoPort agree that, in addition to any other right and remedies available at law or in equity, the other Party will have the right to obtain injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction.
18.11 Backup Supplier Qualification.

19.3 Independent Contractors.
In the exercise of its obligations and in respect of its rights and entitlements hereunder or in respect hereof, Patheon is and will in all respects be treated as an independent contractor of XenoPort. Neither Party will be deemed to be a co-venturer or partner of the other. Neither Party is an employee or a legal representative of the other Party for any purpose. Neither Party will have the authority to enter into any contracts in the name of or on behalf of the other Party.
19.4 Entire Understanding.
This Agreement, including the Quality Agreement, the Exhibits, Schedules and Product Addenda attached hereto and any other document identified herein, represents the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter which are hereby expressly terminated. In case of conflict, the prevailing order of documents will be this Agreement, any Product Addendum, and the Quality Agreement. The Parties agree that no terms, provisions or conditions of any purchase order or other business form or written authorization used by XenoPort or Patheon will have any effect on the rights, duties or obligations of the Parties under or otherwise modify this Agreement, regardless of any failure of XenoPort or Patheon to object to these terms, provisions, or conditions unless the document specifically refers to this Agreement and is signed by both Parties.

(b) | XenoPort may assign its rights and duties under this Agreement or any Product Addendum with prior written approval from Patheon, this approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and any Assignee will be bound by the Terms of this Agreement.

XenoPort will have the right to assign this Agreement in its entirety to an Affiliate of XenoPort and Patheon will consent to the assignment. |

(e) | Subject to the provisions of Section 6.6, any Affiliate of either Party may perform any of that Party’s obligations hereunder, or be entitled to exercise any of its rights hereunder; provided, that Party will remain liable for the fulfillment of its obligations under this Agreement. |
19.7 Dispute Resolution.
If there is any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Parties will first try to solve it amicably. In this regard, either Party may send a written notice of dispute to the other Party, and each Party will appoint, within [ * ] from receipt of the notice of dispute, a single representative having full power and authority to resolve the dispute. The representatives so designated will meet as necessary in order to resolve the dispute. If these representatives fail to solve the matter within [ * ] following the receipt of written notice of dispute, or if a Party fails to appoint a representative within the [ * ] period set forth above, the dispute will immediately be referred to XenoPort’s senior executive, who will meet and discuss as necessary in order to try to solve the dispute amicably. Nothing in this Article XIX will limit either Party’s right to pursue any remedy available to it, including rights granted pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise available in law or equity.
