(b) Notwithstanding the termination provisions set forth in Section 7.1(a) or termination pursuant to Section 7.2, in the event that Cerus is materially impeded from manufacturing, or having third parties manufacture Manufactured Products due to Fresenius Kabi’s patents, know-how or materials, such as plastics, seals, connectors and sterilization, that have been excluded from the licenses to Cerus under the License Agreement, Fresenius Kabi will either (a) continue to supply to Cerus the specific items whose manufacture is impeded by such excluded rights for so long as Cerus requires such items, or (b) expand the license under the License Agreement so as to eliminate such impediment.

 

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, it shall be a Fresenius Kabi obligation to have furnished to Cerus all information to be provided under this Agreement and the Licensed Materials to be provided under the License Agreement (as such term is defined in the License Agreement) concurrent with any notice of termination of this Agreement delivered by Fresenius Kabi, or in the event of termination by Cerus, within thirty (30) days of delivery of notice of termination by Cerus. This provision is not intended to relieve Fresenius Kabi from any obligation stated herein or in the License Agreement to furnish to Cerus information and Licensed Materials sooner than such time.

 

Section 7.2 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated as follows:

 

(a) by Fresenius Kabi and Cerus upon their mutual agreement;

 

(b) by Fresenius Kabi or Cerus upon a material breach of this Agreement by the other Party, provided, however, that the Party allegedly in breach shall be entitled to written notice of such breach and thirty (30) days to cure such breach (or such longer period as may be necessary if such Party has commenced curing such breach and is diligently proceeding to cure such breach) before the Agreement may be terminated; and

 

(c) by Fresenius Kabi or Cerus with written notice to take effect immediately upon receipt thereof by the other Party in the event that the Party receiving notice has filed for bankruptcy or is adjudged insolvent or has made an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a receiver is appointed for its business or a voluntary or involuntary petition of bankruptcy is filed, or proceedings for the reorganization of the Party are instituted.

(e) that disclosure is necessary by reason of applicable legal, accounting or regulatory requirements beyond the reasonable control of the receiving Party; or

(f) is subsequently developed by the receiving Party independently of the information received from the disclosing Party.

In the case of any disclosure pursuant to Sections 10.3(d) or 10.3(e), to the extent practical, the receiving Party shall notify the disclosing Party in advance of the required disclosure and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the disclosing Party in obtaining a protective order, if available, covering such disclosure.

All employees, agents, representatives and consultants of each Party and its Affiliates and sublicensees shall be required to comply with the terms of this Section 10, and each Party, as applicable, shall be responsible for any breach thereof and the performance or non-performance of each such party.

Section 10.5 No Publicity. Except as required by law, no Party shall originate any news release or other public announcement relating to this Agreement or the terms hereof without the prior written approval of the other Party; provided, however that any Party to this Agreement may provide public information concerning this transaction to the extent necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable securities laws and/or customary corporate communications processes.

Section 10.6 Equitable Remedies. Each Party acknowledges that if it, its Affiliates or their respective employees, agents, representatives, or consultants breach (or attempt to breach) the obligations set forth in this Article 10, the other Party will suffer immediate and irreparable harm, it being acknowledged that legal remedies are inadequate. Accordingly, if a court of competent jurisdiction should find that any such Party has breached (or attempted to breach) any such obligations, such Party shall not oppose the entry of an appropriate order compelling performance by such Party and restraining it from any further breaches (or attempted breaches).

No alleged waiver, modification or amendment to this Agreement shall be effective against either Party hereto, unless in writing, signed by the Party against which such waiver, modification or amendment is asserted, and referring specifically to the provision hereof alleged to be waived, modified or amended. The failure or delay of either Party to insist upon the other Party’s strict performance of the provisions in this Agreement or to exercise in any respect any right, power, privilege, or remedy provided for under this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver or relinquishment thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege, or remedy; provided, however, that the obligations and duties of either Party with respect to the performance of any term or condition in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

The Parties agree that, in the event of such breach, or threatened breach, the Parties shall have, in addition to any and all remedies of law, the right to an injunction, specific performance as well as all other equitable relief to prevent the violation of any obligations hereunder without the necessity of any proof of actual damages or the posting of a bond or other security. The Parties further agree that any action pursuant to this Section can and shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in Chicago, Illinois or San Francisco, California.
