6.16. If, after the date of First Commercial Sale, a Competent Authority in the Territory requires additional testing, modification or communication related to approved indications of any Licensed Product, then TTY shall, subject to BDSI’s prior written approval of any such testing, modification, or communication, design any such testing, modification, or communication. BDSI shall, if and as agreed to by BDSI in writing, be responsible for any additional formulation or CMC work as required, at TTY’s cost, while TTY shall be responsible for an additional pre-clinical and clinical testing and any other items required by such Competent Authority, at TTY’s cost, provided that TTY shall not initiate any such testing or other activities without BDSI’s prior written consent.

The Parties shall work together in good faith to establish the amounts of Products to be used in any clinical trial(s) to be conducted under the Development Program and establish a delivery schedule for such Products, subject to the Parties’ mutual written agreement with respect thereto, and BDSI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to supply such Products to TTY in accordance with such schedule (such order, the “Initial Clinical Supply Order”). Clinical Supply Orders for subsequent clinical trials (“Subsequent Clinical Orders”) shall be placed reasonably, but at least ***, in advance of the requested date of delivery subject to the terms of this Agreement. BDSI shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to deliver according to the delivery schedule contained in any Subsequent Clinical Supply Order. Except as otherwise agreed by both parties hereto, all delivery dates are targets only.

BDSI shall not be obligated to accept any Order for a Calendar Quarter that exceeds by more than *** in the previous Forecast. However, BDSI shall make commercially reasonable efforts, but not be obligated, to also deliver such exceeding quantities. TTY may request amendment to an Order within *** after such Order is given and BDSI shall use its commercially reasonably efforts to accept such amendment provided, however, BDSI shall not be obligated to accept such amendment if quantities specified in the Order ***, cause the Product scheduled for delivery in a Calendar Quarter ***, or ***.

It is expressly agreed that BDSI and TTY shall be independent contractors and that the relationship between the two Parties shall not constitute a partnership or agency of any kind. Neither BDSI nor TTY shall have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, which shall be binding on the other Party, without the prior written consent of the other Party.
13.9. The Parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document. Whenever the context hereof shall so require, the singular shall include the plural, the male gender shall include the female gender and neuter, and vice versa.
13.10. TTY and BDSI shall consult with each other before issuing any press release with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and neither shall issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, (a) that a Party may, without the prior consent of the other Party, issue such press release or make such public statement as may upon the advice of counsel be required by law or the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq or any other stock exchange, or (b) if it has used reasonable efforts to consult with the other Party prior thereto, (such consent shall be deemed to have been given if the recipient of the press release or public statement fails to respond to the other Party within 48 hours after the recipient’s receipt of such press release or public statement). No such consent of the other Party shall be required to release information which has previously been made public.

13.11. This Agreement (and any exhibits or appendices hereto) sets forth all of the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and terminates all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties other than as set forth herein. 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.
13.12. Upon *** prior written notice from either Party (the “Requesting Party”), the Party receiving such notice (the “Audited Party”) shall permit an independent certified public accountant selected by the Requesting Party and reasonably acceptable to the Audited Party to audit and/or inspect only those books and records (including but not limited to financial records) as may be necessary pursuant to the terms of the applicable Section of this Agreement granting the applicable inspection rights to the Requesting Party pursuant to this section. Any such independent accounting firm shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. A copy of any report provided to a Party by the accountant shall be given concurrently to the other Party. Subject to the terms of this paragraph, such inspection shall be conducted (a) at the sole cost of the Requesting Party and (b) during the Audited Party’s normal business hours. If the applicable audit involves the calculation of payments to be made by one Party to the other Party and such accounting firm concludes that such calculations erroneously resulted in an overpayment or underpayment by one Party to the other Party with respect to any payment(s) due hereunder (a “Calculation Error”), within *** of the date of delivery of such accounting firm’s report concluding that a Calculation Error occurred, the amount overpaid shall be repaid or the amount underpaid shall be augmented as necessary to correct the underpayment or overpayment caused by such Calculation Error, and if such Calculation Error resulted in an overpayment to or an underpayment from the Party responsible for such error, such Party shall pay interest on such amount at a rate equal to *** or, if less, the maximum legally permissible interest rate, calculated on the number of days such payments are paid after the date such payments are due. If the Audited Party was responsible for the Calculation Error and such Calculation Error was greater than *** of the proper amount payable with respect to any particular reporting period or invoiced amount, the Audited Party shall be solely responsible for the reasonable, documented costs associated with the audit. The rights granted to BDSI under this Section 13.12, and any other audit, inspection, or information rights under this Agreement, may be exercised by CDC IV, LLC, NB Athyrium LLC, or Arius Two, Inc. (or any successor in interest to any of the foregoing) in a manner consistent with similar rights established with respect to each of them in the agreements between CDC IV, LLC, NB Athyrium LLC, Arius Two, Inc., and BDSI concerning the Licensed Technology.
