  (ii)   In the event either Guilford or Baxter shall desire to make any change in any label for the Product (including without limitation the bag label, the intermediate carton label and the case label) during the term of this Agreement, the parties shall meet to negotiate the additional costs to be incurred by Baxter, which costs shall be allocated between Guilford and Baxter as set forth in this Section 4.3(ii). With respect to label changes by Guilford, including both discretionary changes and changes required by the FDA or Applicable Law, Guilford may request, and Baxter shall implement [***]. If Guilford shall request (or shall be required by the FDA or Applicable Law to implement) [***], the parties shall meet to negotiate in good faith the additional costs to be incurred by Baxter in connection with such changes, which costs shall be invoiced separately by Baxter to Guilford, and Guilford will pay such amount to Baxter within [***] of invoicing by Baxter. With respect to label changes by Baxter, including both discretionary changes and changes required by the FDA or Applicable Law, Baxter shall bear the cost of such changes.
 
  (iii)   [***] testing is utilized throughout the Territory. [***] testing, if required, shall be separately paid for by Guilford as set forth in the Quality Agreement.

  4.4   Fee to Re-Package Product. In the event that Guilford requests Baxter to re-package Product (for example, due to a change in the package insert), Baxter shall perform such re-packaging and will invoice Guilford on delivery of the re-packaged Product. The fee to Guilford will be [***] per unit of re-packaged Product.
 
  4.5   User Fees. Baxter will pay all user and/or filing fees charged by Governmental Authorities in the Territory which relate to separate Container submissions.

  4.6   Amount and Timing of Manufacturing Fee Increases. Baxter may increase the Manufacturing Fees [***], which shall be further limited to a maximum increase of [***] for each Calendar Year. Baxter shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize increases in its Material costs to Manufacture Product.
 
  4.7   Notification, Effective Date and Application of Manufacturing Fee Increases. Baxter will provide to Guilford written notification, [***], of any proposed Manufacturing Fee increase pursuant to Section 4.6, which increase will become effective the following January 1. Such Manufacturing Fee increase shall not apply to Product already invoiced to Guilford, but shall apply to Product which has been released, Delivered and invoiced by Baxter to Guilford after the January 1 effective date.

Such penalty shall not be assessed if the reason for the late payment is due to (i) discrepancies between Baxter’s invoice and the shipping records, (ii) incomplete documentation accompanying the Product Delivered by Baxter hereunder, or (iii) due to a claim asserted by Guilford pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3. Guilford shall notify Baxter as soon as practicable after it is aware that any of these circumstances exist, and the parties will in good faith attempt to resolve the discrepancy, incompleteness, error and/or dispute in a timely manner. In the event that such circumstances exist, then Guilford will have [***] after resolution of the matter to pay the amount so due before Baxter may assess the aforementioned penalty.
 
  4.10   Payment Penalties Charged to Baxter. In addition to any other remedies available to Guilford under this Agreement, in the event that Baxter fails to Deliver on time (i.e., no later than Guilford’s requested Delivery date as set forth in Section 3.1.2) the Product subject to a Firm Order, Guilford may (i) reduce the invoice price relating to such Firm Order, or (ii) cancel such Firm Order if Baxter fails to Deliver to Guilford within [***] after Guilford’s requested Delivery date.

With respect to the terms of this Agreement and all information furnished by one party to the other party pursuant to or under this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement entered into on October 15, 2003, whether or not identified herein as specifically subject to Section 15, (collectively, “Confidential Information”), the party receiving such Confidential Information shall maintain the confidential and proprietary status of such Confidential Information, keep such Confidential Information and each part thereof within its possession or under its control, use all reasonable efforts to prevent the disclosure of any Confidential Information to any other person or entity, and use all reasonable efforts to ensure that such Confidential Information is used only for those purposes specifically authorized by this Agreement. These mutual obligations shall not apply to any information to the extent that such information is:

(iii)   disclosed to the FDA and/or other governmental agencies by a party in fulfillment of its obligations under this Agreement in order to obtain or maintain FDA approval of the Product, or to obtain or maintain patents (but such disclosure shall only be made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, as appropriate);

(v)   necessary to effect the licenses granted under this Agreement, the Related Agreements or any other written agreement entered into by the parties, but only on the condition that such recipients of the Confidential Information shall, prior to such disclosure, agree in writing to be bound by the confidentiality and non-use obligations contained in this Agreement and any other written agreement entered into by the parties.

15.3   Further Exception.

A recipient of Confidential Information shall adhere to the U.S. Export Administration laws and regulations and shall not export or re-export, to the extent covered by such laws and regulations, any technical data or information received from the disclosing party or the direct product of such technical data or information to any proscribed country listed in the U.S. Export Administration regulations unless properly authorized by the U.S. Government.

16.3   Termination for Default or Bankruptcy. This Agreement may be terminated upon written notice by either party to the other party at any time during the term of this Agreement:

(i)   if the other party, by act or omission, breaches or defaults on a material term or condition of this Agreement and such party fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) calendar days after written notice by the other party, or if by its nature such breach cannot be cured within such period and such party does not take all reasonable steps which can be taken within such thirty (30) day period to correct or remedy such breach and thereafter diligently pursues such corrective measures, which shall be completed not later than ninety (90) calendar days from the date of such notice, unless the parties shall agree otherwise in writing; or
 
(ii)   upon the filing or institution with respect to the other party of bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or receivership proceedings, or upon an assignment of a substantial portion of its assets for the benefit of creditors by the other party; provided, however, in the case of any involuntary proceeding such right to terminate shall only become effective if the other party consents to the involuntary proceeding or such proceeding is not dismissed within ninety (90) calendar days after the filing thereof.

16.4   Termination by Either Party Due to Change in Ownership. Each party shall provide written notice to the other party prior to, or upon first becoming aware of (or, if prior notice is not practicable or is otherwise prohibited, as soon as practicable or after such notice is no longer prohibited), a change of fifty percent (50%) or more of the direct or indirect ownership of, or a change in control of, the notifying party (a “Change in Control”).

23.5   Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to any rules of conflict of laws or renvoi.
 
23.6   Alternative Dispute Resolution. The parties will attempt to settle any claim or controversy arising out of this Agreement through good faith negotiations and in the spirit of mutual cooperation. If those attempts fail, except as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement or the Related Agreements (including without limitation Sections 7.2, 8.2 and 15.5 of this Agreement) and subject to the provisions of this Section 23.6, such dispute between the parties will be mediated by a mutually acceptable mediator to be chosen by the parties within [***] after written notice by the party demanding mediation. The disputes referred to in Sections 7.2, 8.2 and 15.5 of this Agreement, or elsewhere in this Agreement or the Related Agreements, shall be settled as specified therein. Neither party may unreasonably withhold consent of the selection of the mediator and the parties will share the costs of the mediation equally. The parties may agree to replace mediation with some other form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”), such as neutral fact-finding, mini-trial or arbitration. Any dispute which cannot be resolved by the parties through mediation or another form of ADR within [***] of the date of the initial written demand for mediation may then be submitted to the Federal or state courts, as appropriate, for resolution. The use of any ADR procedures with respect to unresolved disputes will not be construed under the doctrine of latches, waiver or estoppel to affect adversely either party’s right to assert any claim or defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 23.6 will prevent either party from resorting to judicial process at any time if (i) good faith efforts to resolve the dispute under these procedures have been unsuccessful and such party reasonably believes that good faith efforts to continue to attempt to resolve the dispute under these procedures would be unsuccessful (irrespective of whether the [***] period contemplated herein has expired), or (ii) injunctive relief from a court is necessary to prevent serious and irreparable injury to one party or to others.
 
23.7   Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Related Agreements, contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and cancels all previous agreements, negotiations, commitments and writing in respect to the subject matter hereof except for the confidentiality agreements between the parties to the extent referred to in Section 15.3.

23.13   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
