ARTICLE 13

TERMINATION

13.1 This Agreement may be terminated at any time by a Party upon the breach of any material provision of this Agreement by the other Party if the breach is not cured within sixty (60) days after written notice thereof to the Party in default specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such breach.

13.2 SAGENT may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving sixty (60) days written notice to DOBFAR if: (i) SAGENT, in its sole discretion, determines that it will no longer market the Product; or (ii) any Governmental Authority (a) withdraws approval of the manufacture or marketing of the Product, (b) takes any action the result of which is to prohibit the manufacture, packaging, labeling, storage, importation, sale or use or any similar action of the Product, the API or any raw material contained therein or to impose a significant restriction on the manufacture, packaging, labeling, storage, importation, sale, use or similar action, or (c) makes a final decision preventing the use of the Product in humans.

ARTICLE 14

FORCE MAJEURE

14.1 Any delay in the performance of any of the duties or obligations of either Party (except the payment of money due hereunder) shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement and the time required for performance shall be extended for a period equal to the period of such delay only if such delay has been caused by or is the result of any acts of God; acts of a public enemy; insurrections; riots; embargoes; labor disputes (including strikes, lockouts, job actions, or boycotts); fires; explosions; floods; shortages of material or energy or other unforeseeable causes; in each case, which are beyond the reasonable control and without the fault or negligence of the Party so affected.

The Party so affected shall give prompt notice to the other Party of such cause, and shall take whatever reasonable steps are necessary to relieve the effect of such cause as rapidly as reasonably possible. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if DOBFAR is

ARTICLE 16

MISCELLANEOUS

16.1 Interpretation. DOBFAR and SAGENT hereby acknowledge and agree that the Quality Agreement is intended as a supplement to, not a replacement for, this Agreement. Accordingly, the parties intend that the minimum requirements relating to the manufacture and supply of Product are set forth in this Agreement and that specific additional requirements relating to the same are set forth in the Quality Agreement. In the event of a perceived conflict

between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Quality Agreement, SAGENT and DOBFAR shall promptly convene to discuss in good faith and attempt to promptly resolve such perceived or actual conflict. Notwithstanding anything to contrary, however, in no event shall DOBFAR’s obligations under this Agreement be deemed to be reduced by any provision of the Quality Agreement.

16.2 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Parties. DOBFAR and/or WORLDGEN may not assign any interest under this Agreement without the prior written consent of SAGENT. SAGENT may not assign any interest under this Agreement without the prior written consent of DOBFAR, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that no such consent shall be required to assign this Agreement to (i) an Affiliate of SAGENT; or (ii) a third party in connection with the sale or transfer to such third party of all or substantially all of the business or assets to which this Agreement relates. Any purported assignment without a required consent shall be void. No assignment shall relieve any Party of responsibility for the performance of any obligation, which accrued prior to the effective date of such assignment.

The Parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of New Jersey.

16.4 Severability. If any of the provisions of this Agreement are held invalid or unenforceable, unless the invalidity or unenforceability substantially frustrates the underlying intent and sense of the remainder of the Agreement, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, except those where the invalidated or unenforceable provision comprises an integral part of, or are otherwise clearly inseparable from, the intent and sense of the Agreement. In the event any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the Parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a reasonable substitute for such invalid or unenforceable provision in light of the intent and sense of this Agreement and, upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

16.5 Publicity. No press release, publicity or other form of public written disclosure related to this Agreement shall be permitted by either Party to be published or otherwise disclosed unless the other Party has indicated its consent to the form of the release in writing, except for any disclosure as is deemed necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the responsible Party, to comply with Applicable Laws with respect to regulatory reporting or disclosure obligations.

16.6 Independent Contractor. Each Party is acting under this Agreement as an independent contractor and not as the agent or employee of the other. Each Party understands and agrees that it has no authority to assume any obligation on behalf of the other Party and that it shall not hold out to third parties that it has any authority to act on the other Party’s behalf except as expressly permitted herein. Unless otherwise expressly stated herein, each Party shall be responsible for its own expenses relating to its performance under this Agreement and shall not incur expenses for the other Party’s account unless expressly authorized herein or by subsequent written agreements.

16.7 Waiver. No waiver or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of both Parties hereto. Failure by either Party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such rights nor shall a waiver by either Party in one or more instances be construed as constituting a continuing waiver or as a waiver in other instances.
