Notwithstanding Sections 6.01 and 6.02, Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Pfizer Indemnified Parties from, against and in respect of any and all Losses involving a Third Party products liability claim or action incurred or suffered by the Pfizer Indemnified Parties or any of them directly or indirectly or relating to API Bulk Drug Substance or any product formulated using API Bulk Drug Substance supplied hereunder by Pfizer to Customer.

 

6.04                                                Claims for Indemnification.

 

(a)                             A Person entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notification to the person from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a Third Party claim for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim by a Third Party (it being understood and agreed, however, that the failure by an Indemnified Party to give notice of a Third Party claim as provided in this Article VI shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice).

 

(b)                             Within [***] after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense.

 

(c)                              The Party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith; provided further, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel in any one jurisdiction for all Indemnified Parties.

 

(d)                             The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto.

(e)                                  The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim or consent to any judgment in respect thereof that does not include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

 

6.05                                                          Limitation of Liability.

 

(a)                                 Except for damages or claims to the extent resulting from Pfizer’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, in no event shall Pfizer’s total liability to Customer arising under this Agreement exceed [***]; provided, however, that the foregoing liability cap shall not apply to amounts paid or payable by a party in connection with its indemnification obligations under this Article VI.

 


 

(b)                                 In the event that Customer shall be required or shall voluntarily decide to recall any product that incorporates API Bulk Drug Substance manufactured by Pfizer pursuant to this Agreement, then Pfizer shall cooperate with Customer in implementing such recall. If such recall is initiated because of any failure of the Product to conform to the warranties set forth in this Section 6.05, Pfizer shall promptly reimburse Customer the Purchase Price paid by Customer with respect to the recalled API Bulk Drug Substance. For the sake of clarity and the avoidance of doubt, such remedy shall not be an exclusive remedy, but shall be in addition to any remedies that may otherwise be available to the Customer.

 

(c)                                  EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF PROFITS, INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOST GOODWILL, LOST REVENUE ANDLOST OPPORTUNITY) ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE TERMS OR CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR WITH RESPECT TO ITS PERFORMANCE HEREUNDER; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO PRECLUDE RECOVERY IN RESPECT OF ANY LOSS DIRECTLY INCURRED OR SUFFERED FROM THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.

 

ARTICLE VII

7.01                                                          Confidential Information. During the Term and for a period of [***] after expiration or termination of this Agreement, each Party agrees to keep in confidence and not to disclose to any Third Party, or use for any purpose, except pursuant to, and in order to carry out, the terms and objectives of this Agreement, any Confidential Information of the other Party. “Confidential Information” shall mean all trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information of the disclosing Party designated as such in writing by the disclosing Party, whether by letter or by the use of an appropriate stamp or legend, prior to or at the time any such trade secret or confidential or proprietary information is disclosed by the disclosing Party to the receiving Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, information which is orally or visually disclosed to the receiving Party by the disclosing Party, or is disclosed in writing without an appropriate letter, stamp or legend, shall constitute Confidential Information if its confidential nature is reasonably apparent from the circumstances of disclosure, context and subject

matter, despite the absence of an identifying stamp or legend. The terms and existence of this Agreement shall be considered Confidential Information hereunder. The restrictions on the disclosure and use of Confidential Information set forth in the first sentence of this Section 7.01 shall not apply to any Confidential Information that:

 

(a)                                 was known by the receiving Party prior to the disclosure by the disclosing Party hereunder (as evidenced by the receiving Party’s written records or other competent evidence);

 

(b)                                 is or becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the receiving Party;

 

(c)                                  is disclosed to the receiving Party by a Third Party having a legal right to make such disclosure without violating any confidentiality or non-use obligation that such Third Party has; or

 

(d)                                 is independently developed by personnel of the receiving Party who did not have access to the Confidential Information (as evidenced by the receiving Party’s written records or other competent evidence).

 

In addition, if either Party is required to disclose Confidential Information of the other Party by regulation, law or legal process, such Party shall provide prior notice of such intended disclosure to such other Party if possible under the circumstances and shall disclose only such Confidential Information of such other Party as is required to be disclosed.

 

7.02                                                                        Employee, Consultant and Advisor Obligations. Each Party agrees that it and its Affiliates shall provide or permit access to Confidential Information received from the other Party and such Party’s Affiliates and representatives only to the receiving Party’s employees, consultants and advisors and to the employees, consultants and advisors of the receiving Party’s Affiliates who, in such Party’s reasonable judgment have a need to know such Confidential Information to assist the receiving Party with the activities contemplated by this Agreement and who are subject to obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to such Confidential Information similar to the obligations of confidentiality and non-use of the receiving Party pursuant to Section 7.01; provided, however, that Pfizer and Customer shall each remain responsible for any failure by its Affiliates, and its and its Affiliates’ respective employees, consultants and advisors, to treat such Confidential Information as required under Section 7.01 (as if such Affiliates, employees, consultants and advisors were Parties directly bound by the requirements of Section 7.01).

 

7.03                                                                        Publicity. Neither Party shall issue a press release or other public announcement relating to this Agreement or its subject matter without the prior written approval of the other Party.

Pfizer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.02(a) upon written notice to Customer if Customer breaches any material obligation hereunder, including without limitation failing to pay any amount due hereunder which is not subject to a bona fide dispute when due hereunder (as described in the last two (2) sentences of Section 4.02(b) hereof), within the time required for such payment and such payment default is not cured within [***] after the receipt of written notice to Customer specifying such payment default, and such other default is not cured within [***] after receipt of written notice to Customer specifying such other default. During the initial Term or any Extension Period, Pfizer shall have the right in its sole discretion to terminate this Agreement upon [***] prior written notice to Customer without cause.

 

(b)                                               Termination by Customer; Supply Failure. If Pfizer defaults under or fails to comply with any of its material obligations contained in this Agreement and (A) if such default is not curable, Customer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Pfizer, or (B) if such default is curable and is not cured within [***] after the receipt of written notice to Pfizer specifying such default, Customer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Pfizer.

8.03                                                                        Effect of Termination of this Agreement. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Customer will promptly return to Pfizer all relevant records, materials or Pfizer Confidential Information relating to the API Bulk Drug Substance in its (or any of its Affiliates’ or contractors’) possession or control.

 

8.04                                                                        Accrued Rights; Surviving Obligations. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Parties will have no further obligations to each other, except that termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall be without prejudice to any rights which shall have accrued to the benefit of either Party prior to such termination or expiration.

9.03                                                                        Non-Waiver. The failure of either Party to enforce or to exercise, at any time or for any period of time, any term of or any right arising pursuant to this Agreement does not constitute, and shall not be construed as, a waiver of such term or right, and shall in no way affect that Party’s right later to enforce or exercise such term or right.

 

9.04                                                                        Severability. If under applicable law or regulation, any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, or otherwise directly or indirectly affects the validity or enforceability of any material provision of this Agreement (such invalid or unenforceable provision, a “Severed Clause”), this Agreement shall endure except for the Severed Clause. The Parties shall consult

one another and use reasonable efforts to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute for the Severed Clause in view of the intent of this Agreement.

 

9.05                                                                        Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party for any failure to perform as required by this Agreement if the failure to perform is due to circumstances reasonably beyond such Party’s control including, without limitation, acts of God, civil disorders or commotions, acts of aggression, fire, terrorism (or the threat thereof), explosions, floods, drought, war, sabotage, embargo, utility failures, material shortages, labor disturbances, a national health emergency, or appropriations of property. Delays in the performance of Pfizer shall be similarly excused if due to such events of force majeure experienced by one or more of Pfizer’s suppliers or subcontractors.

9.06                                                                        Interpretation; Headings. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to “Articles”, “Sections” or “subsections” are to Articles, Sections or subsections of this Agreement. In this Agreement, the words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”, and the word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”. In the event of an ambiguity or if a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favouring or disfavouring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. The definitions of the terms used in this Agreement shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms.

 

9.07                                                                        Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all previous agreements, whether written or oral.

9.08                                                                        Independent Contractors; No Agency or Partnership.

Neither of Pfizer and Customer shall hold itself out as a partner or agent of the other.

 

9.09                                                                        Assignability. Neither Party may assign any of its rights or delegate or subcontract any of its duties and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, which may be withheld at its discretion; provided, however, that either Party may assign any of its rights and delegate or subcontract any of its duties and obligations under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates without the approval of the other Party (such assignment, delegation or subcontracting to an Affiliate shall not relieve such Party of its responsibilities and liabilities hereunder and such Party shall remain liable to the other Party for the conduct and performance of its Affiliate), and, provided further, that Pfizer may assign without the prior consent of Customer, this Agreement to a third party in the event of a sale of the Pfizer’s facility, where the Product is manufactured, to such third party or in the event that any third party acquires all or substantially all of Pfizer’s assets related to the manufacture of such Product (including, without limitation, the sale, spin-off or such other corporate transaction by Pfizer), and, provided further, that Customer may assign, without the prior consent of Pfizer, this Agreement to a third party in connection with a corporate reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale or transfer of substantially all of its assets. Any such attempted assignment of rights or delegation or subcontracting of duties without the prior written consent of the other Party shall be void and ineffective. This Agreement shall apply to, inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

9.10                                                                        Binding upon Successors. This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon each Party and its permitted successors and assigns.

 

9.11                                                                        Pfizer’s Name.

9.12                                                                        Counterparts.
