      2.8 Key Performance Indicators.

          2.8.1 For each [***] period during the Term, Patheon shall meet or exceed the key performance indicators established in good faith by Patheon and Santarus for such [***] period (collectively, as established with respect to the applicable [***] period, the “ KPIs ”).

               (iii) Patheon’s President and Santarus’ President shall meet 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 Santarus, implemented satisfactorily, then Patheon shall be deemed to be in material breach of its obligations hereunder. The Parties may mutually agree to extend any of the time periods referenced in this Section 2.8.

          2.8.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.8, Patheon shall not be responsible for the failure to achieve the KPIs to the extent caused by any of the following events:

Patheon shall promptly (and in any event no later than [***] Business Days after Santarus’ request) provide an inventory status report to Santarus from time to time as reasonably requested by Santarus. In addition, Patheon shall monitor on a monthly basis the inventory of Bulk API held by Patheon and Patheon shall provide Santarus with a monthly inventory report (within [***] Business Days following the last day of the applicable month) of the Bulk API held by Patheon, which shall contain the following information for such month:

Quantity Received: The total quantity of Bulk API that complies with the Specifications and is received at the Facility during the applicable period.

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 API calculated in accordance with this Section 2.11.3 in a year shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the Annual API Cap:

[***]

It shall not constitute a material breach of this Agreement by Patheon if the AAY is less than the Target Yield.

the contrary, Patheon shall reimburse Santarus for such Bulk API at the API Reimbursement Value within [***] days after discovery of the Significant API Loss. For clarity, amounts paid for Significant API Loss must be counted towards Annual API Cap, however for the purposes of calculating the Annual Average Yield under Section 2.11.3, all API reimbursed to Santarus pursuant to this Section shall be removed from the Quantity Received and Quantity Dispensed totals.

(ii) Patheon shall notify Santarus in writing in the event that a batch of intermediate or Finished Product is potentially nonconforming as soon as practical, and in any event, within [***] days following discovery thereof. Upon discovery of such potentially nonconforming product, Patheon shall initiate an investigation to reach a final determination. If the investigation results in a determination that such product is nonconforming, Patheon shall reimburse Santarus for the Bulk API in such product at the API Reimbursement Value within [***] days of the determination. If there is a disagreement between the Parties as to whether product is nonconforming, the Parties shall follow the procedures outlined in Section 3.5.2 for submitting the product to an independent laboratory for final determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a final determination of whether product is nonconforming shall be made within [***] days of discovering potentially nonconforming product and if a final determination is not made within such time period for reasons within Patheon’s control, Patheon shall immediately reimburse Santarus for any Bulk API in such potentially nonconforming product at the API Reimbursement Value.

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 [***] 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 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. The Parties mutually agree that they shall resolve all determinations of deficiencies as quickly as possible, and in any event, within [***] days of a Deficiency Notice.

          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 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 2.11.4. Nothing in this Section 3.5.3 shall be construed to limit the rights and remedies available to Santarus at law or in equity.
