modification, alteration or change; provided, however, that in the case of
an emergency Manufacturer shall only be required to provide such advance
written notice as is practicable under the circumstances. Xanodyne shall
have the right to reject and direct Manufacturer not to undertake any such
proposed modification, alteration or change if, in Xanodyne's sole opinion,
such modification, alteration or change will conflict with the
Specifications or with any Applicable Laws. Xanodyne may, in connection
with any modification proposed by Manufacturer, alteration or change
initiated by Manufacturer, require Manufacturer to produce, at
Manufacturer's sole cost and expense, validation verification batches and
any records, reports or other documentation which may be reasonably
required by Xanodyne for submission to the FDA or other Regulatory
Authority having jurisdiction over such matters.

ARTICLE 10: LIABILITY AND INDEMNITIES
10.1 Each Party shall promptly notify the other, in writing, if it learns of any
litigation, claim, administrative or criminal proceedings (collectively
"Actions"), asserted or threatened against such Party (the "Aggrieved
Party") for which such Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder from
the other Party. With respect to any such Action, the other Party shall
reasonably cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to the
Aggrieved Party as the Aggrieved Party may reasonably request. Such
reasonable assistance may include, without limitation, providing copies of
all relevant correspondence and other materials that the Aggrieved Party
may reasonably request; provided, however, that any Confidential
Information so provided shall be treated in accordance with the provisions
of Article 6 hereof.
10.2 Xanodyne hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Manufacturer
and each of its Affiliates and their respective officers, director and
employees from and against any liabilities, claims, costs, expenses
(including reasonable legal fees), loss or damage (each a "Liability") to
the extent arising from (i) the, marketing, distribution, sale or use of
Product, or (ii) Xanodyne's material breach of its representations,
warranties or covenants under this Agreement or the Quality Agreement,
(iii) any proceedings instituted by or on behalf of a Third Party based
upon a claim that the manufacture, use or sales of the Products infringes a
Third Parry's Intellectual Property Rights, except, in each case, to the
extent that such Liability arises as a result of the breach of this
Agreement or the Quality Agreement by Manufacturer, except in each case, to
the extent that such liability arises as a result of the negligence or
wilful misconduct of Manufacturer, its Affiliates or their respective
employees, agents, or contractors..
10.3 Manufacturer hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Xanodyne
and each of its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, and
employees from and against any Liabilities to the extent arising from (i)
Manufacturer's breach of its representations, warranties or covenants under
this Agreement or the Quality Agreement or (ii) the negligence or wilful
misconduct of Manufacturer, its affiliates or their respective employees,
agents, or contractors.
10.4 No indemnity may be claimed by or given to the Party seeking to rely on
such indemnity:
10.4.1 unless the Party claiming indemnity shall have notified the other
Party of the relevant potential Liability upon becoming aware of such
potential Liability except to the extent the failure to provide such
notice does not prejudice the indemnifying Party's ability to defend
or contest any suit or claim relating to such potential Liability,
10.4.2 where the Party seeking indemnification has made any offer or any
settlement without the prior written consent of the indemnifying
Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed,
and
10.4.3 unless the Party seeking indemnification has allowed the
indemnifying Party to assume full control of all proceedings in
relation to any such potential Liability
-14-
within 30 days of having been given notice of such proceedings;
provided, that (i) the Party seeking indemnification shall have the
right to appoint independent counsel at its own cost to participate
therein and (ii) no compromise or settlement may be effected by the
indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the other
Party.
10.4.4 The Party seeking indemnification shall cooperate fully with the
indemnifying Party and its legal representatives in the investigation
and defense of any action or claim with respect to which
indemnification is sought hereunder.
10.5 Limitation of Liability. Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party
for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, including
without limitation any claim for damages based upon lost profits or lost
business opportunity.
10.6 Insurance. Manufacturer and Xanodyne shall each maintain, throughout the
Term of this Agreement, the following insurance: (i) products liability in
amounts of not less than $6,000,000; and (ii) such property insurance and
carrier insurance in amounts to cover the replacement value of Product and
any and all property used in relation to Manufacture of Product. Each Party
shall arrange for the other to be named as an additional insured under the
relevant policies without liability for premiums. Each Party shall submit
certificates of insurance, evidencing such insurance coverage, upon
execution and delivery of this Agreement and thereafter when requested by
the other Party.
ARTICLE 11: ANTICIPATORY BREACH
11.1 In the event that Manufacturer or Xanodyne becomes aware at any time of any
matter, circumstance or event (a "Manufacturing Problem") which (i) would
reasonably be expected to give rise to material delays in the shipment of
Product, or (ii) reasonably indicate that the quality standards set forth
herein and in the Quality Agreement have been materially compromised, or
(iii) may reasonably give rise to Xanodyne's right to terminate under
Article 12, such Party shall forthwith give written notice to the other
Party of such matter, circumstance or event, the cause thereof, the
anticipated length of such delay or shortfall, and the action to be taken
to reduce, minimize or remove the adverse effects of any such delay. The
matters, circumstances or events which shall give rise to the remedies set
forth in this Section 11.1 include without limitation: (i) receipt by
Manufacturer of a warning letter from a Regulatory Authority or a 483
containing significant and meaningful findings affecting Product, (ii)
continuous errors or inadequacies in batch processing or documentation as
determined by Xanodyne's quality assurance department, (iii) circumstances
which could in the opinion of Xanodyne reasonably lead to a warning letter
from a Regulatory Authority, and (iv) release of one or more Batches of
Product which do not meet quality standards for releasing Product as set
forth in this Agreement, the Quality Agreement, the Specifications or
Applicable Laws.
11.1.1 Within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the notice given pursuant to
Section 11.1, Xanodyne and Manufacturer shall cause a meeting to take
place with a view to
-15-
agreeing to such action as may be necessary to ensure that no
interruption to supply or shortfall in quantities of Product occurs.
11.1.2 Following the meeting referred to in Section 11.1.1, in the event
that Xanodyne in its reasonable opinion determines that a
Manufacturing Problem (not caused by the act, omission, or breach of
any agreement by Xanodyne or its Affiliates) would be reasonably
expected to occur and cannot be cured within [**] days of such
meeting, Xanodyne shall have the right to reappoint Manufacturer as
the secondary Manufacturer of the Product, reduce Xanodyne's
purchasing obligation as set forth in Section 2.1 to the lesser of (i)
[**]% of Xanodyne's total requirements for Product and (ii) the
percentage of [**] supply, and arrange for an increase in the
proportion of Product manufactured by any existing alternate
manufacturer, or otherwise appoint an alternate manufacturer, for such
time and in such quantities as may in its opinion be appropriate and
necessary. Manufacturer shall provide such assistance and transfer
Know-How as may be necessary for Xanodyne to have Product supplied at
and by an alternate manufacturer of Xanodyne's choice, except that
nothing shall be deemed to require Manufacturer to transfer
Manufacturer's Intellectual Property Rights or Manufacturer's Improved
Technology to the alternate manufacturer.
11.2 Specification Changes. In the event that Xanodyne or the FDA requires any
change, alteration or modification to the Specifications, Xanodyne shall
promptly advise Manufacturer in writing of such change, alteration or
modification and Manufacturer shall promptly advise Xanodyne as to any
scheduling and/or Unit Price adjustments which may reasonably and
necessarily result therefrom. Prior to implementation of such change,
alteration or modification, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith in
an attempt to reach agreement on (i) the new Unit Price for any Product
Manufactured hereunder by Manufacturer which embodies such change,
alteration or modification, giving due consideration to the effect thereof
on Manufacturer's direct Manufacturing Costs for the Product, and (ii) any
other amendments to this Agreement which may be necessitated by such
changes (i.e. an adjustment to the lead time for purchase orders).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Unit Cost shall not be increased as a
result of any change, alteration or modification in the event such change,
alteration or modification is related generally to the Plant or other
products manufactured by Manufacturer in the Plant. Xanodyne agrees to
reimburse Manufacturer for the reasonable expenses incurred by Manufacturer
as a result of such change, alteration or modification, including, but not
limited to, reimbursing Manufacturer for its validation and development
costs, capital expenditure costs and costs for any packaging components or
other materials rendered unusable as a result of such change, alteration or
modification. If during the term of this Agreement Xanodyne amends or is
required by law to amend the Specifications so as to render the Raw
Materials for the Products obsolete, Xanodyne shall purchase from
Manufacturer, at Manufacturer's Acquisition Cost, that amount of inventory
of Raw Materials and/or Products, as the case may be, so rendered obsolete.
11.3 Non-conforming Product. In the event that any Product shall fail to
strictly conform with any purchase order, warranty or term set forth in
this Agreement, the Quality Agreement and/or the Specifications (referred
to herein as Product that is "Defective," subject to a
-16-
"Defect" or "Defective Product"), Xanodyne shall reject such Product by
giving written notice to Manufacturer in accordance with Section 9,1. Any
notice given hereunder shall specify the manner in which the Product is
Defective. If it is determined by agreement of the Parties (or in the
absence of agreement of the Parties, by a mutually acceptable independent
laboratory or consultant whose fees shall be paid by the non-prevailing
Party) that the Product was not Defective as of delivery to Xanodyne in
accordance with Section 4,4., Manufacturer shall have no liability to
Xanodyne with respect thereto. Otherwise (i) if Xanodyne has not yet paid
for such Defective Product, Xanodyne shall not be required to pay for such
Defective Product and Manufacturer shall credit Xanodyne's account the
costs incurred by Xanodyne to return or destroy the Defective Product and
(ii) if payment therefor has previously been made by Xanodyne, at
Xanodyne's option, Manufacturer shall (i) pay Xanodyne the amount of such
payment, (ii) offset the amount thereof against other amounts then due
Manufacturer hereunder or (iii) replace such non-conforming Product with
conforming Product at no additional cost to Xanodyne. In any case where
Xanodyne expects to make a claim against Manufacturer with respect to
Defective Product, Xanodyne shall not dispose of such Product without
written authorization and instructions of Manufacturer either to dispose of
the Product or to return the Product to Manufacturer, except for disposal
for safety or regulatory reasons and except for retention of samples
thereof for the purpose of determining any dispute, the costs of which
shall be borne by the Party responsible for such non-conforming Product.
ARTICLE 12: TERM AND TERMINATION
12.1 Subject to Sections 12.2, 12.3 and 12.4, this Agreement shall commence on
the Effective Date and shall expire five years from such date (the "Initial
Term"). Manufacturer hereby grants to Xanodyne options to extend the term
of the Agreement for further periods of one year (each a "Renewal Term")
which options may be exercised by Xanodyne by giving notice to Manufacturer
12 months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term,
as applicable. Upon exercise of the option hereby granted, the term of the
Quality Agreement shall be extended for the duration of this Agreement as
extended. The Initial Term along with any Renewal Terms shall be referred
to herein as the "Term."
12.2 Either Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by notice given
in writing to the other if:
12.2.1 the other Party commits any material breach of any of the provisions
of this Agreement and (in the case of a breach which is capable of
remedy) fails to remedy the same within [**] days [**] days in the
case of a breach involving the failure to pay a sum of money owed)
after receipt of a written notice giving full particulars of the
breach and requiring it to be so remedied; or
12.2.2 the other Party becomes or is adjudged insolvent, makes an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, has a petition filed in
bankruptcy for or against it (which petition is not dismissed within
[**] days of filing) or goes into liquidation (except for the purposes
of a bona fide amalgamation or other reorganization) or a
-17-
receiver is appointed over al! or a major part of the property or
assets of the other Party.
12.3 Xanodyne shall be entitled in its sole discretion to terminate this
Agreement upon sixty (60) days notice given in writing to Manufacturer if:
12.3.1 Manufacturer causes more than [**] Stock-outs per Year or an
extended Stock-out of more than 30 days,
12.3.2 Manufacturer's cumulative on-time delivery on the Delivery Date
falls below [**] percent ([**]%) during any three (3) month period,
12.3.3 one or more of Manufacturer's employees, agents or contractors is
debarred by the PDA, or
12.3.4 Xanodyne determines that it will no longer develop or market the
Products; provided, however, that in the event Xanodyne determines to
no longer develop or market less than all of the Products, Xanodyne
may terminate this Agreement only as it relates to the Products it
will no longer develop or market.
ARTICLE 13: CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION
13.1 Upon the expiration or termination for any reason of this Agreement:
13.1.1 the terms of Articles 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 15 and Section 13.1 shall

terms;
13.1.2 Manufacturer and Xanodyne shall, upon request of the other, return

Information thirty (30) days following notice to the other if the
other Party does not object to the destruction. In all events each
Party or its counsel may retain one copy of the Confidential
Information in a secure location for the purpose of complying with the
Party's obligations hereunder, and in the event of destruction of
Confidential Information shall certify to such destruction upon
request of the other Party;
13.1.3 Unless this Agreement is terminated by Manufacturer under Section
12.2, if this Agreement is terminated prior to the expiration of the
Term, Manufacturer shall continue the Manufacture of Product in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement for such period as may be
reasonably necessary for Xanodyne to transfer production to an
alternative manufacturer including without limitation time to
negotiate terms and qualify and validate any such Manufacturer; and
Manufacturer shall otherwise Manufacture all outstanding orders;
provided, however, that in no event shall Manufacturer be required to
do any of the foregoing for any period beyond the earlier of (i) 18
months after termination and (ii) the expiration of the Term.
-18-
13.1.4 Manufacturer shall provide to Xanodyne, its Affiliates and/or any
Third Party to which Manufacture of a Product is to be transferred
such support as may be reasonably necessary to transfer technology and
Manufacture in a timely manner to ensure no loss of or interruption in
supply of Product in accordance with the following provisions:
13.1.4.1 where termination occurs by Manufacturer pursuant to Section
12.2 then Manufacturer will not be obligated to provide such
support; and
13.1.4.2 where termination occurs by reason of the termination by
Xanodyne pursuant to Section 12.2 or 12.3, then reasonable
support for such transfer will be provided by Manufacturer
without charge to Xanodyne except for pre-approved out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by Manufacturer in effecting the transfer for
Xanodyne; and
13.1.4.3 where termination occurs by reason of expiration then such
support shall be provided by Manufacturer at reasonable charges
to be agreed.
13.1.5 In the event this Agreement is terminated by Manufacturer pursuant
to Section 12.2 or by Xanodyne pursuant to Section 12.3.4, at the
termination of this Agreement, Manufacturer shall invoice to Xanodyne,
and Xanodyne shall pay, an amount equal to the cost of all Raw
Materials, whether or not in the form of finished Product, in
Manufacturer's possession or in transit to Manufacturer as of such
date of expiration or termination, provided that Manufacturer
demonstrates that such Raw Materials (i) were purchased in reasonable
quantities in reliance on Xanodyne's most recently submitted forecast
pursuant to Section 3.1 and (ii) are in compliance with all relevant
Specifications and otherwise fit for commercial use; provided,
however, that Manufacturer agrees to offset the amount due from
Xanodyne pursuant to this Section 14.1.5 by the Acquisition Cost of
any Raw Materials which Manufacturer may use for production of other
products during the six months immediately following the date of such
termination.
ARTICLE 14: FORCE MAJEURE
14.1 If either Party is unable to perform its obligations hereunder due to an
event or occurrence constituting Force Majeure, it shall promptly notify
the other Party of the nature and extent of the circumstances in question.
14.2 In the event of any delay in the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement or the non-performance thereof by either Party due to Force
Majeure, the Party so affected shall be under no liability for loss or
injury suffered by the other Party thereby and the time for performance of
the relevant obligations shall be extended accordingly provided it uses its
reasonable endeavors to minimize the effect of and overcome or remove the
cause of such Force Majeure.
14.3 In the event that either Party is prevented or delayed in performing any of
its obligations under this Agreement due to Force Majeure for an aggregate
period in excess of ninety
