Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is hereby acknowledged by BDSI that, as of the Effective Date, no such clinical trials are currently planned or contemplated by Purdue.

In the event of a material change, cancellation, or non-renewal in coverage, each Party shall replace such coverage to comply with this Agreement so that there is no lapse of coverage for any time period. It is understood that the above-required insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of either Party’s liability, with respect to its indemnification obligations or otherwise, under this Agreement.

Section 11.07 Equitable Relief. The Parties understand and agree that because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the non-breaching Party as a result of a breach of the covenants set forth in Article VIII or in this Article XI, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that may be caused to the non-breaching Party for which monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy, the Parties agree that the non-breaching Party may be entitled to seek specific performance, temporary and permanent injunctive relief, and such other equitable remedies to which it may then be entitled against the breaching Party.

Section 13.07 Suspension of Cure Period Pending Dispute Resolution. If a Party gives notice of breach under Section 13.02 or Section 13.03 and the other Party, acting in good faith, disputes in writing prior to the end of the applicable cure period whether such notice was proper, then the issue of whether a material breach has occurred shall be resolved in accordance with Section 14.03. If as a result of such dispute resolution process it is determined that the notice of breach was proper, then such notice shall be deemed to have been effective if the breaching Party fails thereafter to cure such breach in accordance with the determination made in the resolution process within the applicable cure period following such determination. If as a result of such dispute resolution process it is determined that the notice of breach was improper, then no such notice shall be deemed to have been effective and this Agreement shall remain in effect.

such assigning Party (or that portion thereof, or any portion of any product, to which this Agreement relates) to a Third Party, whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise, or (c) for the benefit of a creditor or, in the event of any exercise of any remedies by a creditor, to a purchaser in a foreclosure sale of collateral (subject to assumption by such purchaser of all obligations under this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such assignment to an Affiliate shall not relieve the assigning Party of its responsibilities for performance of its obligations under this Agreement, so long as such Affiliate remains an Affiliate of the assigning Party. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of any purported assignment of this Agreement. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties. Any purported assignment not in accordance with this Agreement shall be void.

Section 14.02 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement to the extent such failure or delay is caused directly by or results directly from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party, including, but not limited to, fire, floods, embargoes, terrorism, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), insurrections, riots, civil commotions, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances, acts of God or acts, omissions, delays, or actions by any Governmental Authority or for any other reason which is completely beyond the reasonable control of the Party (other than by reason of such Party failing to comply with Applicable Law) (collectively a “Force Majeure”). The Party prevented from carrying out its obligations hereunder shall give written notice to the other Party of an event of Force Majeure upon it being reasonably foreseen with reasonable certainty by, or becoming known to, the affected Party, such notice to describe the cause and estimated effect of the event of Force Majeure. If and to the extent that a Party is delayed or prevented from performing its obligation under this Agreement, other than a payment of monetary obligations, due to a Force Majeure, such Party shall nonetheless use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate, avoid or end such delay or failure in performance to the extent and as soon as reasonably practicable.

Section 14.03 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Dispute Resolution.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the state laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflicts of laws principles.

(c) In the event that the Parties have been unable to reach accord using the procedures set forth in Section 14.03(b), either Party may seek final resolution of the matter through binding arbitration upon written notice to the other Party. The failure of a Party to comply with the provisions of Section 14.03(b) with respect to any controversy or claim shall, except as set forth in Section 14.03(d), constitute an absolute bar to the institution of any proceedings, by arbitration or otherwise, by such Party with respect to such controversy or claim. Any such arbitration shall be held in a location that is mutually agreed upon by the Parties, which provides neither party an advantage (or, if the Parties are unable to agree on a location within *** of the initiation of arbitration hereunder, such location shall be New York, New York), in the English language before a single independent, neutral arbitrator, who shall be selected by agreement of the Parties, or, if the Parties cannot agree within *** after commencement of arbitration, then by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the then existing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA (the “Rules”) and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered or enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator shall have at least *** experience in pharmaceutical patent licensing. The arbitrator shall permit the Parties to have discovery to the extent permitted by the Rules. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the Parties and shall be accompanied by a written opinion of the arbitrator explaining the arbitrator’s rationale for its decision. Except as may otherwise be determined by the arbitrator in its award to be just and appropriate in light of the particular circumstances and outcome of the arbitration, the Party losing the arbitration shall pay all fees and costs of the arbitrator and the AAA and reimburse the prevailing Party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, expenses, and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges and travel expenses). The intent of the Parties is that, except for the entering of an arbitration order in a court of competent jurisdiction or as set forth in Section 14.03(d), disputes shall be resolved finally in arbitration as provided above, without appeal, and without recourse to litigation in the courts.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.03, (i) each Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive or equitable relief to enforce the respective covenants and agreements of the Parties in this Agreement and (ii) either Party may initiate an action before any court having competent jurisdiction in order to obtain interim or conservatory relief, such as an order to preserve the status quo and to avoid incurring irreparable harm pending the resolution of any dispute that is submitted to arbitration, to prevent or enjoin, without in either case complying with the procedures set forth in Section 14.03(b) or 14.03(c).

Section 14.04 Waiver. No waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the waiving Party. Except as specifically provided for herein, the waiver from time to time by either of the Parties of any of their rights or their failure to exercise any remedy shall not operate or be construed as a continuing waiver of same or of any other of such Party’s rights or remedies provided in this Agreement.
