Upon receipt of notice from Supernus that a Batch meets the Specifications, or upon failure of Supernus to respond by the end of the Review Period, the Batch shall be deemed accepted by the parties and Supernus shall have no right to reject such Batch. If Supernus timely notifies Catalent in writing (an “Exception Notice”) that a Batch does not conform to the Specifications or otherwise does not meet the warranty set forth in Section 12.1 (“Defective Product”), then Catalent shall conduct an appropriate investigation to determine the cause of any nonconformity. If Catalent determines that the cause of nonconformity is attributable to Catalent’s [**], or [**] (“Catalent Defective Processing”), then Section 5.4 shall apply. Where the cause of nonconformity cannot be determined or assigned, it shall be deemed [**].
5.3Discrepant Results. If the parties disagree as to whether Product is Defective Product and/or whether the cause of the nonconformity is Catalent Defective Processing, and this is not resolved within [**] of the Exception Notice date, the parties shall cause a mutually acceptable independent third party to review records, test data and to perform comparative tests and/or analyses on samples of the alleged Defective Product and its components, including Supernus-supplied Materials.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” means all confidential information of the disclosing person of whatever type, including all information furnished by or on behalf of Catalent or Supernus (as the case may be, “Discloser”), its Affiliates or any of its or their respective Representatives, to the other party (for purposes of this Article 10, “Recipient”), its Affiliates or any of its or their respective Representatives, whether furnished before, on or after the Effective Date and furnished in any form, including written, verbal, visual, electronic or in any other media or manner and information acquired by observation or otherwise during any site visit at the other party’s facility. Confidential Information includes all proprietary technologies, know-how, trade secrets, discoveries, inventions and any other Intellectual Property (whether or not patented), analyses, compilations, business or technical information and other materials prepared by either party, their respective Affiliates, or any of its or their respective Representatives, containing or based in whole or in part on any Confidential Information furnished by Discloser, its Affiliates or any of its or their respective Representatives. Confidential Information also includes the existence and terms of this Agreement.
10.2Exclusions.

[**] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED

13

10.3Mutual Obligation. Recipient (A) will keep confidential all Confidential Information, employing such protections as it would use for its own Confidential Information of a similar type but in no case less than reasonable protections under the circumstances, (B) will not use Discloser’s Confidential Information except in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and (C) will not disclose to any third party, without Discloser’s prior written consent, Discloser’s Confidential Information, except that Recipient may disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information to any of its Affiliates and its or their respective Representatives that (A) need to know such Confidential Information for the purpose of performing under this Agreement, (B) are advised of the contents of this Article and (C) are bound to Recipient by obligations of confidentiality at least as restrictive as the terms of this Article.

Each Party will promptly notify the other upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information.
10.4Permitted Disclosure. Recipient may disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information to the extent required by law or regulation or is in response to a valid order of a court or other governmental body of the United States or a foreign country or any political subdivision thereof; provided, that prior to making any such legally required disclosure Recipient shall have made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order requiring that the Confidential Information so disclosed be used only for the purposes for which the order was issued. Recipient shall give Discloser as much prior notice of the requirement for and contents of such disclosure as is practicable under the circumstances. Any such disclosure, however, shall not relieve Recipient of their continued obligations under this Agreement.
10.5No Implied License. Except as expressly set forth in Section 10.1, Recipient will obtain no right of any kind or license under any of Discloser’s Confidential Information, including any patent application or patent, by reason of this Agreement.

Access to the copy so retained shall be restricted to the party’s legal counsel and the Confidential Information so retained shall not be used except in (1) the resolution of any claims or disputes arising out of this Agreement, and (2) ensuring compliance with its obligations under this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 10.6, a party’s obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to return Confidential Information of the other will not require the party to search back-up computer files that are not readily accessible or are kept off-site or to use forensic methods to retrieve data from hard disks or other storage devices.
10.7Publication. Neither party shall submit for written or oral publication any manuscript, abstract, or other medium that includes Confidential Information of the other party without first obtaining the prior written consent of such other party, which consent shall be at the sole discretion of such other party. The requesting party shall make any such request a reasonably sufficient time in advance of the proposed submission date and shall ensure that any resulting publication notes the contribution of each party whether by acknowledgment, co-authorship, or otherwise.
10.8Equitable Remedies. The parties acknowledge and agree that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Article 10 and that the parties shall be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to seek specific performance and
14

injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach or threatened breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach or threatened breach of this Section 10.8 but shall be in addition to all other remedies available to the parties at law or in equity.
10.9Procedure for Public Announcements. Neither party will issue any press release or make any public announcement concerning this Agreement without obtaining the prior consent of the other party. This Section 10.9 does not limit either party’s right to make disclosures to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any governmental agency or the rules of any stock exchange on which the securities of the disclosing party are listed. In addition, the parties may disclose the existence and nature of this Agreement (but not its terms other than the length of its duration), under an obligation of confidentiality, to investment bankers, strategic or financial investors and qualified institutional buyers who the party reasonably believes may have a bona-fide interest. Each party covenants that prior to filing this Agreement as an exhibit to any of its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), it will notify the non-filing party and provide, as is practically reasonable, the opportunity to review, redact, and/or request confidential treatment of certain Confidential Information contained therein prior to any filing it with the SEC, it being understood by both parties that the SEC’s determination with respect to any redactions or confidential treatment of information will be ultimately determinative.
