time by the Parties and the Parties shall review such KPIs at each [* * *] review
meeting contemplated by Section 2.12 with the intention of amending, if necessary, the KPIs in
respect of the forthcoming [* * *] period. If no such amendments are necessary
or if amendments are not agreed, the KPIs in respect of such forthcoming [* * *]
period shall be at least as beneficial to Santarus as the KPIs for the then current [*
* *] period.
2.8.2 In the event that Patheon fails to meet one or more of the KPIs at any time during the

clause (iii) shall apply; and
(iii) Patheon’s President and Santarus’ President shall discuss within
[* * *] days of the Stage 2 Failure in order to establish a
Remediation Plan.
If the Remediation Plan is either not mutually agreed upon or is not, in the reasonable judgment of

2.11.3 Annual Average Yield. In addition, within [* * *] Business
Days of the end of each calendar year, Patheon shall calculate the Annual Average Yield (AAY) for
the Finished Product released and shipped during the calendar year and compare it to the target
yield specified in Exhibit B for each of the Finished Products (the “Target Yield”). The
AAY shall be calculated by dividing the Quantity Converted by the Quantity Dispensed during the
calendar year. Patheon shall strive to maintain AAY levels for each Finished Product above the
applicable Target Yield. If the AAY falls more than [* * *] percentage points
([* * *]%) below the respective Target Yield in any calendar year, then Patheon
shall reimburse Santarus for the cost of the shortfall within [* * *] days of the
end of each calendar year. The following calculation shall be used to determine reimbursement
value, provided that Patheon’s liability for Bulk OME calculated in accordance with this Section
2.11.3 in a year shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the Annual OME Cap:
[* * *]
It shall not constitute a material breach of this Agreement by Patheon if the AAY is less than the
Target Yield.
2.11.4 Other OME Losses.
[* * *]

agree that they will discuss on at least an annual basis a quote and pricing for conducting such
stability studies.
3.5 Acceptance Procedures.
3.5.1 Finished Product Claims. Santarus has the right to reject any portion of any
shipment of Finished Product that deviates from the Patheon Manufacturing Responsibilities, without
invalidating any remainder of such shipment. Santarus or its agent shall visually inspect the
Finished Product manufactured by Patheon upon receipt thereof and shall give Patheon written notice
(a “Deficiency Notice”) of all claims for Finished Product that deviate from the Patheon
Manufacturing Responsibilities within [* * *] days after Santarus’ receipt
thereof (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt by
visual inspection of the Finished Product, including those requiring laboratory analysis, within
[* * *] days after discovery thereof by Santarus, but in no event after the
expiration date of the Finished Product). Should Santarus fail to provide Patheon with the
Deficiency Notice within the applicable [* * *]–day period, then the delivery
shall be deemed to have been accepted by Santarus on the [* * *] day after
delivery or discovery, as applicable. Patheon shall have no liability under Section 3.5.3 for any
deviations for which it has not received notice within the applicable [* * *]-day
period.
3.5.2 Determination of Deficiency. Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Patheon shall
have [* * *] days to advise Santarus by notice in writing that it
disagrees with the contents of such Deficiency Notice. If Santarus and Patheon fail to agree
within [* * *] days after Santarus’ receipt of Patheon’s notice as to whether any
Finished Product identified in the Deficiency Notice deviates from the Patheon Manufacturing
Responsibilities, then the Parties shall mutually select an independent laboratory to evaluate if
the Finished Product deviates from the Patheon Manufacturing Responsibilities. Such evaluation
shall be binding on the Parties, and
if such evaluation certifies that any Finished Product deviates from the Patheon Manufacturing
Responsibilities, Santarus may reject such Finished Product in the manner contemplated in this
Section 3.5. If such evaluation does not so certify in respect of any such Finished Product, then
Santarus shall be deemed to have accepted delivery of such Finished Product on the [* *
*] day after delivery (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery
upon receipt by visual inspection of the Finished Product, including those requiring laboratory
analysis, on the [* * *] day after discovery thereof by Santarus, but in no event
after the expiration date of the

3.6.2 Santarus’ Request for Change. Subject to Section 3.6.4, Santarus shall have the
right to amend the Specifications from time to time.
3.6.3 Patheon’s Request for Change. Subject to Section 3.6.4, if Patheon wishes to
make any change to the Specifications, Patheon shall notify Santarus, and such notice shall
describe the proposed change and the impact of such change on the manufacturing process, including
details of any changes in manufacturing costs. Santarus may accept or reject, in its sole and
absolute discretion, any such change proposed by Patheon.
3.6.4 Price Adjustments. Amendments to the Specifications or the Quality Agreement
requested by Santarus will only be implemented following a technical and cost review in good faith
by Patheon and are subject to Santarus and Patheon reaching agreement as to revisions, if any, to
the Price. If Santarus accepts a proposed Price change, the proposed change in the Specifications
shall be implemented, and the Price change shall become effective only with respect to those orders
of Finished Product that are manufactured in accordance with the revised Specifications. In
addition, Santarus agrees to reimburse Patheon for the cost of Raw Materials in accordance with,
and under the circumstances described in, Section 7.3.
3.7 Records. Patheon shall maintain all records necessary to comply with all cGMP and

issued by any such authorities that relate to the Finished Product. Santarus may review Patheon’s
responses to any such reports and communications prior to Patheon submitting any response to the
FDA, or any Government Authority, and Santarus’ comments and suggestions shall, in Patheon’s
reasonable discretion, be incorporated into such response. In no event shall Patheon commit to any
changes to the manufacturing process, equipment, tests and/or specifications concerning the
Finished Product, without Santarus’ prior approval.
4.5.3 If the FDA or any other Foreign Regulatory Authority or any other Government Authority
conducts an inspection of the Facility in circumstances that are not related to the manufacturing
of the Finished Product (as contemplated by subsection 4.5.2 above) and issues a 483 observation,
inspection report or other formal or informal document in
respect of such inspection which questions Patheon’s compliance with critical or major cGMP
standards relating to operations at the Facility which is otherwise could have an adverse impact on
the Finished Product then Patheon shall notify Santarus promptly (but in no event later than
[* * *] calendar days) after Patheon receives a written copy of such observation,
report or document.
4.5.4 Patheon shall keep Santarus informed of (i) the remediation plan Patheon adopts to
alleviate any concerns raised by the FDA or any other Foreign Regulatory Authority contemplated by

Agreement, Patheon shall comply with all applicable environmental and health and safety laws
(current or as amended or added), and shall be solely responsible for determining how to comply
with same in carrying out these obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing provided to
Patheon by Santarus, by way of materials, specifications, processing information or otherwise, is
meant to diminish Patheon’s responsibility for such compliance. Patheon shall obtain and maintain
all necessary licenses, permits and governmental approvals (except for product-related Regulatory
Approvals such as NDA’s) required to perform its manufacturing and supply services hereunder,
including licensure and permitting of its manufacturing facilities by the FDA and Foreign
Regulatory Authorities. Patheon shall promptly notify Santarus of any circumstances, including the
receipt of any notice, warning, citation, finding, report or service of process or the occurrence
of any release, spill, upset, or discharge of hazardous substances (as may be defined under

18
measures as required by the Specifications and the Quality Agreement. The cost of the Bulk OME
shall form no part of the Price. The costs of shipping, handling, insurance and freight will be
borne by Santarus and form no part of the Price. [* * *]
6.2 Changes in Price of Finished Product. Any changes to the Price for each Finished Product
shall be determined in accordance with the following:
(a) | Annual Review. On or about [* * *] of each year Patheon and Santarus will meet (in person or by telephone or video conference) to consider whether any adjustment to the Price in respect of the Finished Product upward or downward is appropriate to account for increases or decreases in the cost of manufacture and/or the cost of Raw Materials. In considering whether a change in the Price is justified, the Parties may consider all published economic data, including without limitation, price indices that are demonstrated to have a rational connection to the cost of Raw Materials or Patheon’s cost of manufacturing the Finished Product. | ||
(b) | Extraordinary Changes in Raw Material Costs. If at any time market conditions result in Patheon’s cost of Raw Materials being materially greater than normal forecasted increases, then Patheon shall be entitled to request an adjustment to the Price to compensate it for such increased Raw Material costs. If at any time market conditions result in Patheon’s cost of Raw Materials being materially lesser than anticipated, then Santarus shall be entitled to request an adjustment to the Price to compensate it for such reduced Raw Material costs. For the purposes of this Section 6.2(b), changes materially greater than normal forecasted increases or materially lesser than anticipated shall be considered to have occurred if: (i) the cost of a Raw Material increases or decreases, as applicable, by [* * *] or more of the cost for that Raw Material upon which the Price then in effect was based; or (ii) the aggregate cost for all Raw Materials required to manufacture the Finished Product increases or decreases, as applicable, by [* * *] or more of the total Raw Material costs for the Finished Product upon which the Price then in effect was based. To the extent that the Price has been previously adjusted pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) to reflect an increase or decrease in the cost of one or more Raw Materials, the adjustments provided for in (i) and (ii) above shall operate based on the costs attributed to such Raw Material (or Raw Materials) at the time the last such adjustments were made. |
In connection with a Price review pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 6.2, Patheon shall
deliver to Santarus reasonably detailed documentation concerning increases or decreases in the cost
of Raw Materials or Patheon’s cost of manufacturing to facilitate the discussion. In connection
with all fee adjustment requests pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 6.2, Patheon shall deliver
to Santarus a proposed Commercial Pricing Proposal for the respective Finished Product and such
budgetary pricing information or other documentation reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that a
Price adjustment is justified, provided that Patheon shall have no obligation to provide any
supporting documents to the extent such documents are subject to obligations of

confidentiality
between Patheon and its suppliers. Each of Santarus and Patheon shall forthwith use all reasonable
efforts to agree on a revised Price in respect of each affected Finished Product. In the event the
Parties are unable to reach agreement concerning adjustments to the Price, such dispute shall be
resolved in accordance with Article 13. Until such time as dispute is resolved the price per
Finished Product shall be the most current mutually agreed upon Price adjusted by an amount equal
to the actual increase in that portion of the Price that relates to Patheon’s labor costs as
reasonably demonstrated by Patheon; provided, however, that following resolution of any dispute
regarding Price, the Price agreed upon as part of the dispute resolution shall be applied
retroactively for any applicable periods.

officers, directors, employees, agents and consultants; provided however that a Receiving Party may
retain one (1) copy of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in an appropriately secure
location, which by Applicable Laws it must retain, for so long as such
Applicable Laws require such retention but thereafter shall dispose of such retained
Confidential Information in accordance with Applicable Laws or this Section 8.4.
8.5 Equitable Relief. The Receiving Party agrees that, due to the unique nature of the
Confidential Information, the unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information of the
Disclosing Party may cause irreparable harm and significant injury to the Disclosing Party, the
extent of which may be difficult to ascertain and for which there may be no adequate remedy at law.
Accordingly, the Receiving Party agrees that the Disclosing Party, in addition to any other
available remedies, shall have the right to seek an immediate injunction and other equitable relief
enjoining any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall notify the
Disclosing Party in writing immediately upon the Receiving Party’s becoming aware of any such
breach or threatened breach.

method of manufacture or use covered by the Product Patents, regardless of whether such Invention
was conceived, reduced to practice or created solely by employees or agents of Patheon or its
Affiliates or jointly by the employees or agents of Santarus or its Affiliates with the employees
or agents of Patheon or its Affiliates (collectively, the “Product Inventions”). As to all

Inventions”), the parties agree that the following shall apply:
(i) All Other Inventions, which are conceived, reduced to practice, or created solely
by employees or agents of Patheon or its Affiliates in the course of performing the services
under this Agreement (including any pre-existing technology of Patheon which Patheon so
employs), shall be owned by Patheon. Patheon shall and hereby does grant to Santarus and
its Affiliates a perpetual, royalty-free, exclusive, worldwide, irrevocable license, to use
and practice all such Patheon-owned Other Inventions (which are used by Patheon hereunder to

to any Third Party in connection with the manufacture, sale or distribution of the Finished
Product.

employees or agents of Santarus or its Affiliates (including any pre-existing technology of
Santarus which Santarus shares with Patheon hereunder), shall be owned by Santarus.
Santarus shall and hereby does grant to Patheon and its Affiliates a royalty-free,
non-exclusive license during the Term, without the right to sublicense, to use and
practice all such Santarus-owned Other Inventions solely to manufacture the Finished Product
hereunder.
(iii) All Other Inventions which are conceived, reduced to practice, or created jointly
by: (i) employees or agents of Santarus or its Affiliates; and by (ii) employees or agents
of Patheon or its Affiliates, pursuant to this Agreement, shall be owned by Santarus, unless
the parties have agreed in writing to a different arrangement in another consulting or
services agreement which is more specific to the services provided by Patheon in connection
with such Other Invention. Santarus shall and hereby does grant to Patheon and its
Affiliates a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide, irrevocable license to use
and practice all such Santarus-owned Other Inventions, with the right to sublicense to any
Third Party.
9.2 Assignment. Each Party agrees to disclose promptly in writing to the other all Product
Inventions and Other Inventions to be owned by the other pursuant to Section 9.1 and hereby
irrevocably transfers, conveys and assigns, and agrees to transfer, convey and assign, to the
other, its successors and assigns, without reservation or additional consideration, all of its
right, title and interest (anywhere in the world) in, to, and under the Product Inventions and
Other Inventions, whether currently existing or created or developed later, including, without
limitation,
24
all copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patent rights, industrial rights and all
other intellectual property and proprietary rights related thereto, including all rights to
protect, enforce (whether for past, present or future infringement), defend and exploit such
Product Inventions and Other Inventions and collect and retain all proceeds therefrom, effective
immediately upon the inception, conception, creation or development thereof.
9.3 Assistance. Each Party shall have the first right to file and prosecute patent
applications in respect of those Inventions it is to own pursuant to Section 9.1 and such Party
shall be solely responsible for the costs of filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patents
and patent applications. Each Party agrees to cooperate with the other or its designee(s), both
during and after the Term, in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing, sustaining and
enforcing the other’s right, title and interest in and to the Product Inventions and Other
Inventions, including, without limitation, executing such written instruments as may be prepared by
the other and doing such other acts as may be necessary in the opinion of the other to obtain a
patent, register a copyright, or otherwise enforce the other’s rights in such Product Inventions
and Other Inventions (and each Party hereby irrevocably appoints the other and any of its officers
and agents as its attorney in fact to act for and on the other’s behalf and instead of it, with the
same legal force and effect as if executed by it). Each Party hereby represents, warrants, and
covenants that all employees, consultants and agents performing services for it hereunder have
assigned in writing all of their right, title and interest in, to and under any and all Product
Inventions and Other Inventions to such Party. All Product Inventions and Other Inventions and
embodiments thereof shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of the Party to own such
Invention pursuant to Section 9.1, and the other Party shall be subject to the obligations of
nonuse and nondisclosure under Article 8 with respect thereto.

TERM AND TERMINATION
TERM AND TERMINATION
11.1 Term. This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall continue in full
force for a period of five (5) years (the “Initial Term”), unless earlier terminated in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Article 11. After the Initial Term, this Agreement shall
continue in effect; provided that either Party may terminate this Agreement at the end of the
Initial Term or during the Renewal Term, by providing the other Party with eighteen (18) months
prior written notice of termination. The Initial Term and the Renewal Term are collectively
referred to herein as the “Term.”
11.2 Termination for Cause. In the event that either party has failed to remedy a material
breach of any of its representations, warranties or other obligations under this Agreement within
ninety (90) days (the “Remediation Period”) following receipt of a written notice thereof (the
“Breach Notice”) from the other party that expressly states that it is a notice under this Section
11.2, the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party
(the “Termination Notice”). The Termination Notice may provide for a termination date that is as
of any date within eighteen (18) months following the date of the Termination Notice. If the
non-breaching party does not provide a Termination Notice within one hundred eighty (180) days
after the receipt of the Breach Notice by the breaching party, then the non-breaching party shall
be deemed to have waived its right to terminate the Agreement for such breach (but shall not have
waived any other rights that may have accrued as a result of such breach). For the avoidance of
doubt, a material breach of the Quality Agreement or the Capital Agreement shall be deemed to be a
breach of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the rights of the Parties to terminate this
Agreement.
27
11.3 Termination for Bankruptcy. Either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately if the
other Party becomes insolvent, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, suffers or
permits the appointment of a receiver for its business or assets, avails itself of or becomes
subject to any petition or proceeding under any statute of any state or country relating to
insolvency or the protection of the rights of creditors.
11.4 Regulatory Proceedings. Santarus may terminate this Agreement for one or more of the
Finished Products effective immediately upon written notice to Patheon should the FDA or a Foreign
Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction impose on the Facility an import ban in respect of such
Finished Product or withdraw any license required by Patheon to manufacture such Finished Product
at the Facility or take other action that is reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on
Patheon’s ability to perform hereunder.
11.5 Government Action. Santarus may terminate this Agreement for one or more of the Finished
Products upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Patheon in the event that any governmental agency
(including without limitation, the FDA or a Foreign Regulatory Authority) takes any action, or
raises any objection, that prevents Santarus from importing, exporting, purchasing, or selling such
Finished Product or otherwise makes such activity unlawful.
11.6 Termination for Discontinuation. Santarus may terminate this Agreement for one or more
of the Finished Products if at any time it decides to no longer market such Finished Product by
giving Patheon six (6) months advance written notice of termination.
11.7 Effect of Termination. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.7 or elsewhere in
this Agreement, in the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason, (a) subject to Section
11.8, all rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall terminate; (b) Santarus
shall surrender to Patheon, or, at Patheon’s sole option and expense, Santarus shall destroy and

all of the foregoing assigned to Santarus under Article 9 above); (c) Patheon shall surrender to
Santarus, or, at Santarus’ sole option and expense, Patheon shall destroy and provide Santarus with

pursuant to Section 11.1 prior to Santarus’ receipt and utilization of all potential credits
contemplated by the last paragraph of Section 6.2, Patheon shall reimburse Santarus
[* * *] less any such credits that had been previously received and
utilized by Santarus. Further, in the event of termination by Patheon pursuant to Section 11.2 or
pursuant to Section 11.3, or in the event of termination by Santarus pursuant to Sections 11.4,
11.5 or 11.6, Santarus shall reimburse Patheon for: (x) Raw Materials

Finished Product, at Patheon’s cost (including all costs incurred by Patheon in connection with the
purchase and handling of such Raw Materials), which were ordered, purchased, produced or maintained
by Patheon in contemplation of filling Firm Purchase Orders prior to notice of termination being
given in accordance with the provisions of Article 7, in particular Section 7.3.1.; and (y)
satisfaction of the purchase price payable pursuant to Patheon’s orders with suppliers of Raw
Materials, provided such orders were made by Patheon in reliance on Firm Purchase Orders; but in
each case subject to Patheon’s obligation to cover as set forth in Section 7.3.3 and subject to the
limitations on Santarus’ liability set forth in Section 7.3.2. Patheon shall cooperate with
Santarus and assist in the transfer to Santarus of all legal and technical documents concerning
applicable OME and Finished Products, including master batch records, validation reports, stability
reports and relevant manufacturer authorizations, existing retention samples and all such other
documents and materials as may be reasonably necessary or useful for Santarus to source the
applicable Finished Products from other qualified Third Parties.
11.8 Accrued Rights. Termination, relinquishment, or expiration of this Agreement for any
reason shall be without prejudice to any right which shall have accrued to the benefit of either
Party prior to such termination, relinquishment, or expiration. Such termination, relinquishment
or expiration shall not relieve either Party from obligations which are expressly indicated to
survive termination or expiration of this Agreement. The provisions of this Article shall not
limit or restrict the rights of any Party to seek remedies or take measures that may be otherwise
available to it at law or equity in connection with the enforcement and performance of obligations
under this Agreement. Any provision of this Agreement intended by their specific terms or by
necessary implication to survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement, including without
limitation, Articles, 8, 9, 12 and 13, shall so survive.

expense, indemnify and hold harmless Patheon, its directors, officers, employees, agents and

(a) the use by Patheon, in connection with its performance under this Agreement, of the

(b) the provision of the services by Patheon in respect to the Finished Product pursuant to

is obligated to indemnify Santarus pursuant to Section 12.3 below.
12.3 Indemnification by Patheon. Patheon hereby agrees to defend, at its expense, indemnify,
and hold harmless Santarus, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and Affiliates against all

indemnifying Party (the “Indemnitor”) prompt written notice of any Claims or discovery of fact upon
which the Indemnitee intends to base a request for indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the failure to give timely notice to the Indemnitor shall not release the Indemnitor from any
liability to the Indemnitee to the extent the Indemnitor is not materially prejudiced thereby.
12.4.1 The Indemnitee shall furnish promptly to the Indemnitor copies of all papers and
official documents in the Indemnitee’s possession or control which relate to any Claims; provided,
however, that if the Indemnitee defends or participates in the defense of any Claims, then the
Indemnitor shall also provide such papers and documents to the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall
reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor in defending against any Claims.
12.4.2 The Indemnitor shall have the right, by prompt written notice to the Indemnitee, to

this Article absent the development of facts that give the Indemnitor the right to claim
indemnification from the Indemnitee, and (b) the Indemnitor diligently pursues the defense of the
Claim.
12.4.3 If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of the Claim as provided in this Section 12.4,
the Indemnitee may participate in such defense with the Indemnitee’s own counsel who shall be
retained, at the Indemnitee’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, that neither the Indemnitee
nor the Indemnitor shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with
respect to the Claim without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnitee withholds consent in respect of a judgment
or settlement involving only the payment of money by the Indemnitor and which would not involve any
stipulation or admission of liability or result in the Indemnitee becoming subject to injunctive
relief or other relief, the Indemnitor shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnitee
within five (5) days after receipt of the Indemnitee’s written denial of consent, to pay to the
Indemnitee, or to a trust for its or the applicable Third Party’s benefit, such amount established
by such judgment or settlement in addition to all interest, costs or other charges relating

INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS OR LOSS OF USE OR DATA , EVEN IF SUCH PARTY, OR ANY OF ITS DIRECTORS,
OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY OF ANY KIND, UNDER ANY
CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR ITS IMPLEMENTATION. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 12.5
SHALL BE INTERPRETED TO LIMIT THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION OF EITHER PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH A
PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIM WITH RESPECT TO THE CHARACTERIZATION OF DAMAGES OR LOSSES CLAIMED BY A
THIRD PARTY AS BEING INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR OTHER
LIKE DAMAGES OR LOSSES.

insurance through the term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, which

during the term of this Agreement, each Party shall increase their levels of insurance coverage if
reasonably deemed prudent by such party in light of the overall activities under this Agreement.
If requested each Party will provide the other with a certificate of insurance evidencing the above
and showing the name of the issuing company, the policy number, the effective date, the expiration
date and the limits of liability. The insurance certificate shall further provide for a minimum of
30 days’ written notice to the insured of a cancellation of, or material change in, the insurance.
If a Party is unable to maintain the insurance policies required under this Agreement through no
fault on the part of such Party, then such Party shall forthwith notify the other Party in writing
and the parties shall in good faith negotiate appropriate amendments to the insurance provision of
this Agreement in order to provide adequate assurances.
12.7 Limitation of Liability.

quantity of Bulk OME for any reason whatsoever shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.11.

arbitrator shall be final and binding. The Parties waive any right to appeal the arbitration
award, to the extent a right to appeal may be lawfully waived. Each Party retains the right to
seek judicial assistance: (a) to compel arbitration; (b) to obtain interim measures of protection
pending or during arbitration; and (c) to enforce any decision of the arbitrator, including the

constitute the Parties as the legal representative or agent of the other Party or as partners,
joint venturers, co-owners or otherwise as participants in a joint or common undertaking, or (iii)

against or in the name of or on behalf of the other Party for any purpose whatsoever, except as
expressly set forth in this Agreement.

unenforceable
by a court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this
Agreement, or the application of such term, covenant or condition to Parties or circumstances,
other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and
each term, covenant or condition shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by
law.

writing.
15.12 Construction. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been drafted by all Parties and,
in the event of a dispute, no Party hereto shall be entitled to claim that any provision should be
