3.4 STABILITY STUDIES. Patheon shall conduct stability studies on the
Finished Products according to the Specifications therefor, as required by the
FDA or Foreign Regulatory Authorities as advised by Santarus or as requested by
Santarus, and in any case on at least one batch of Finished Product from the
Facility at least once per calendar year following Commencement of Commercial
Manufacturing or more frequently as may be specified in the Quality Agreement.
Patheon shall provide to Santarus a report of all results and data obtained from
such stability studies annually or more frequently as may be specified in the
Quality Agreement.
3.5 ACCEPTANCE PROCEDURES.
3.5.1 Finished Product Claims. Santarus has the right to reject any
portion of any shipment of Finished Products that deviates from the Patheon
Manufacturing Responsibilities, without invalidating any remainder of such
shipment. Santarus or its agent shall visually inspect the Finished Products
manufactured by Patheon upon receipt thereof and shall give Patheon written
notice (a "DEFICIENCY NOTICE") of all claims for Finished Products that deviate
from the Patheon Manufacturing Responsibilities within *** 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 *** 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 *** 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 *** period.
3.5.2 Determination of Deficiency. Upon receipt of a Deficiency
Notice, Patheon shall have *** 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 *** after the Santarus' receipt of Patheon's notice as to
whether any Finished Products identified in the Deficiency Notice deviate from
the Patheon Manufacturing Responsibilities, then the Parties shall mutually
select an independent laboratory to evaluate if the Finished Products deviate
from the Patheon Manufacturing Responsibilities. Such evaluation shall be
binding on the Parties, and if such evaluation certifies that any Finished
Products deviate from the Patheon Manufacturing Responsibilities, Santarus may
reject those Finished Products in the manner contemplated in this Section 3.5.
If such evaluation does not so certify in respect of any such Finished Products,
then Santarus shall be deemed to have accepted delivery of such Finished
Products 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 Finished Product). The expenses of such testing shall be borne by Patheon
if the non-conformity with the Patheon Manufacturing Responsibilities is
confirmed, and otherwise by Santarus.
3.5.3 Patheon Responsibility. In the event Santarus rejects Finished
Products in accordance with this Section 3.5 and the rejected Finished Product
is determined not to conform to the Patheon Manufacturing Responsibilities,
Patheon will credit Santarus' account for Patheon's invoice price to Santarus
for such non-conforming Finished Products. If Santarus
13
*** Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for
Confidential Treatment and filed separately with the Commission.
shall have previously paid for such defective Finished Products, Patheon shall
promptly, at Santarus' election, either: (i) refund the invoice price for such
defective Finished Products; (ii) offset such amount against other amounts due
to Patheon hereunder; or (iii) replace such Finished Products with conforming
Finished Products as soon as reasonably possible without Santarus being liable
for payment therefor under Section 6.3, contingent upon the receipt from
Santarus of all API required for the manufacture of such replacement Finished
Products. Further, Patheon shall reimburse Santarus for all reasonable shipping,
handling and storage charges incurred in association with such non-conforming
Finished Product and for the Bulk API utilized in such non-conforming Finished
Product in accordance with Section 2.10. Nothing in this Section 3.5.3 shall be
construed to limit the rights and remedies available to Santarus at law or in
equity.

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 specified
in Exhibit B necessitated by any such amendment. 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 Products 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 GMP and Applicable Laws relating to the manufacture, packaging, testing,

*** Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for
Confidential Treatment and filed separately with the Commission.
any incident that causes Finished Product shipped to Santarus or its labeling to
be mistaken for or, applied to, another product, information concerning any
bacteriological contamination, or any significant chemical, physical, or other
change or deterioration in the Finished Product shipped to Santarus, or any
failure of one or more batches of Finished Product shipped to Santarus to meet
Specifications or to conform with Applicable Laws, and any deviation from the
specified environmental conditions for shipping or storage of the Finished
Product. To the extent that Santarus becomes aware of any Adverse Experience
that appears to be related to the manufacture of Finished Product, Santarus
shall notify Patheon promptly and not later than *** hours after
Santarus becomes aware of such Adverse Experience. In connection with any such
Adverse Experience, each Party shall make such reports as are necessary to

ARTICLE 6
COMPENSATION; PAYMENT
6.1 PRICE OF FINISHED PRODUCT. The Price includes all Raw Materials,
manufacturing, packaging, testing and temporary storing costs associated with
manufacturing and supplying the Finished Product, and includes the costs of such
quality control measures as required by the Specifications and the Quality
Agreement. The cost of the Bulk API 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.
18
*** Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for
Confidential Treatment and filed separately with the Commission.
6.2 CHANGES IN PRICE OF FINISHED PRODUCT. The Price during any period
after the first anniversary of the Commencement of Commercial Manufacturing
shall be determined in accordance with the following:
(a) Annual Review. On each yearly anniversary of this Agreement
following Commencement of Commercial Manufacturing, 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 Products 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 revised Exhibit B 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
*** Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for
Confidential Treatment and filed separately with the Commission.
19
the Price that relates to Patheon's labour 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.
6.3 PAYMENT TERMS. Santarus shall pay Patheon for the Finished Product
shipped to Santarus within *** of the date of the invoices issued pursuant to
Section 2.6. Patheon shall send all invoices by email or facsimile to the email
address or facsimile number of the accounts payable personnel designated by
Santarus from time to time. All invoices shall be dated as of the date of the
email or facsimile as noted in the foregoing sentence, and not any earlier date.
Patheon's invoice shall reference the Firm Purchase Order number and be sent to
the "Xxxx to" address of Santarus specified on the Firm Purchase Order, and
Patheon's packing list must reference the Firm Purchase Order number and be sent
to the applicable "Ship to" address on the Firm Purchase Order. Santarus may
withhold a portion of any invoice that it disputes in good faith pending
resolution of such dispute.
6.4 FORM OF PAYMENT. Each Party shall make all payments due the other
Party under this Agreement in U.S. Dollars by check made payable to the order of
the other Party or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such
account notified by the receiving Party from time to time to the other Party in
writing.
6.5 TAXES. If any sales or value added taxes are payable under the laws of
the United States of America, Canada, or any other country, state, territory or
jurisdiction having taxing authority, such taxes shall be the responsibility of
Santarus. Santarus shall withhold from any payment to Patheon under this
Agreement any taxes required to be withheld by Santarus under the applicable
laws of the United States of America, Canada or any other country, state,
territory or jurisdiction. Upon request, Santarus shall provide Patheon with
authority for the withholding obligation, documentation of such withholding and
payment in a manner that is satisfactory for purposes of such taxing authority.
Any withholdings paid when due hereunder shall be for the account of Patheon.
6.6 DISPUTED INVOICES. In the event that Santarus disputes any amounts
under any invoice for Finished Product supplied by Patheon, such dispute shall
be resolved in accordance with Section 3.5 (with respect to non-conformance of
Finished Product) or otherwise under Article 13. Pending resolution of such
dispute, Santarus shall be obligated to pay any amounts under such invoice that
are not in dispute. Upon resolution of any such dispute in favor of Patheon,
Santarus shall pay all remaining amounts owing under such invoice within the
later of *** Business Days after such resolution or *** days after the date of
such invoice.

shall assume the risk of loss or damage to such materials from any cause
whatsoever. Patheon shall ensure that, while such Bulk API and Raw Materials are
in storage, such materials do not become subject to any lien or other security
interest securing any obligation owed or alleged to be owed by Patheon to any
person or entity.
7.3 SANTARUS' RESPONSIBILITY FOR COST OF RAW MATERIALS. If Raw Materials
become obsolete or otherwise no longer useable in the manufacturing process for
the Finished Product because (a) Santarus deviated from the Forecast, or (b) the

commercially reasonable efforts to cover the cost of excess Raw Materials by:
(i) returning such Raw Materials to the vendor, (ii) selling such Raw Materials,
(iii) utilizing such Raw Materials in manufacturing products for its other
customers to the extent possible, and (iv) implementing other measures to
mitigate the loss due to such excess Raw Materials. To the extent that Patheon
is unable to off-set such loss fully, Santarus shall reimburse Patheon for such
Raw Materials and its out of pocket expenses but solely to the extent actually
incurred by Patheon and in no event beyond the limit of liability set forth in
Section 7.1.
7.4 PATHEON'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR COST OF RAW MATERIALS. In the event Raw
Materials expire or become obsolete or no longer useable in the manufacturing
process for the Finished Product because (a) Patheon failed to manufacture and
supply the quantities ordered by Santarus pursuant to a Firm Order Purchase, (b)
quantities of such Raw Materials are in excess of the limits of Santarus'
liability set forth in Section 7.1, or (c) Patheon failed to store Raw Materials
as required by the applicable Specifications or under Section 7.2, then Patheon
shall bear all responsibility for the cost of such Raw Materials.

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, 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

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

reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on Patheon's ability to
perform hereunder.
11.5 GOVERNMENT ACTION. Santarus may terminate this Agreement 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

Materials applicable to the Finished Products which were purchased, produced or
maintained by Patheon in contemplation of filling Firm Purchase Orders prior to
notice of termination being given; and (y) Santarus shall satisfy the purchase
price payable pursuant to Patheon's orders with suppliers of Raw Materials,

liability set forth in Section 7.1. Patheon shall cooperate with Santarus and
assist in the transfer to Santarus of all legal and technical documents

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 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

any act or omission for which Patheon is obligated to indemnify Santarus

agrees to give the indemnifying Party (the "INDEMNITOR") prompt written notice
of any Claims or discovery of fact upon which the Indemnitee intends to base a

liability to the Indemnitee to the extent the Indemnitor is not materially
prejudiced thereby.
29
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

Indemnitee in writing (but in no event more than thirty (30) days after 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

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
30

INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR OTHER LIKE

15.6 WAIVER. No failure of either Party to exercise and no delay in

15.7 DISCLAIMER OF AGENCY. The relationship between Patheon and Santarus
established by this Agreement is that of independent contractors, and nothing
contained in herein shall be construed to (i) give either Party the power to
direct or control the day-to-day activities of the other, (ii) 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
34
undertaking, or (iii) allow either Party to create or assume any liability or
obligation of any kind, express or implied, 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.
15.8 SEVERABILITY. If any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement or
the application thereof to any Party or circumstance shall, to any extent, be
held to be invalid or 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.
15.9 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, including all schedules and
exhibits attached hereto, the Quality Agreement and the Capital Agreement, which
are hereby incorporated herein by reference, set forth all covenants, promises,
agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between
the Parties hereto with respect to the manufacture and supply of commercial
quantities of Finished Product and supersedes and terminates all prior and
contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect
to such subject matter.
15.10 MODIFICATION. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or
addition to this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties hereto unless
reduced to writing and signed by the respective authorized officers of the
Parties. In the event of a conflict between the terms of any Firm Purchase
Order, order acknowledgement, packaging slip or other documentation, and the
terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control, unless such
documentation specifically states that it overrides conflicting terms of this
Agreement and is signed by each of the Parties.
15.11 TRADEMARKS AND TRADE NAMES. The Parties hereby acknowledge that
neither Party has, and shall not acquire, any interest in any of the other
Party's trademarks or trade names appearing on the labels or packaging materials
for the Finished Product unless otherwise expressly agreed in 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 construed against any other Party by reason
of the fact that it was drafted by one particular Party. The headings used in
this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not a part of the
text hereof.
