20.CONFIDENTIALITY
20.1.As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean all proprietary information, including know-how, trade secrets, business plans, pharmaceuticals, materials, operations, equipment, processes, methods, strategies and systems, and financial information, prices, materials, building techniques and any drawings, specifications, designs and other information or data, or any fact with respect to any of the foregoing relating to the services performed under this Agreement, that is disclosed in any manner by or on behalf of a party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) or its permitted recipients pursuant to this Agreement, whether disclosed or made available in visual, oral, written, electronic, graphic or any other form, whether or not marked as “confidential” or “proprietary”. For avoidance of doubt, Confidential Information of BUYER shall include without limitation all BUYER IP, BUYER Background IP and BUYER Materials.
20.2.Both SUPPLIER and BUYER agree, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of [***] thereafter, to (a) keep any and all “Confidential Information” of the Disclosing Party confidential using at least the same degree of care that the Receiving Party would use to protect its own Confidential Information, (b) not disclose Confidential Information to any third party, including any Affiliate, other than employees, consultants, agents or Approved Subcontractors of SUPPLIER or BUYER, as the case may be, who are bound by obligations of confidentiality and nonuse at least as restrictive as those restrictions contained this Section 20 and who have a need to know such information in order to perform their duties or services in connection with such party’s obligations under this Agreement and (c) not use Confidential Information for any purpose other than to perform its obligations, or exercise its rights, herein; provided, however, that the obligations of confidentiality for Confidential Information identified as a trade secret will survive indefinitely until such trade secret information no longer qualifies as a trade secret.
20.3.Neither party shall disclose the existence of this Agreement or any terms or conditions thereof to any third parties without the prior written consent of the other party with respect to any intended disclosure and in the event of any permitted disclosure, the other party shall approve the content of such disclosure; provided, however, that BUYER shall have the right to disclose the existence of this Agreement and the terms of this Agreement to its actual or prospective investors, lenders, acquirers, collaborators, licensors, (sub) licensees or strategic partners, and their respective accountants, financial advisors and other professional representatives, in each case, who have a need to know such Confidential Information and are bound by customary obligations of confidentiality.
Exhibit 10.2
20.4.The confidentiality and non-use obligations set forth in this Section 20 shall not apply to information that Receiving Party can demonstrate: (a) at the time of disclosure, is known publicly or thereafter becomes known publicly through no fault of the Receiving Party, its Affiliates, their employees, consultants, agents, subcontractors or sublicensees; (b) becomes available to the Receiving Party from a third party which is not legally prohibited from disclosing such information; (c) was developed by the Receiving Party independently of information obtained from the Disclosing Party as evidenced by written records; (d) was already known to the Receiving Party before receipt from the Disclosing Party, as evidenced by its prior written records; (e) is released with the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; or (f) is required to comply with national, federal or state laws, rules or regulations (including the rules and regulations of any national stock exchange on which such party’s securities are traded), provided that the Receiving Party promptly notifies the Disclosing Party of such required disclosure, takes all reasonable and lawful actions to obtain confidential treatment of such disclosure and furnishes only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required to be disclosed. In determining whether or not the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information has entered the public domain, the obligations of confidentiality shall no longer apply to only that portion of said Confidential Information that has become public, and portions remaining confidential shall retain their status as Confidential Information.
20.5.Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, or at any other time upon the request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall, as requested by the Disclosing Party in writing, promptly return to the Disclosing Party or destroy all of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in its possession or control, except that one (1) copy may be retained by the Receiving Party solely for record-keeping purposes.
21.NOTICES

22.ENTIRE AGREEMENT, MODIFICATION; OTHER FORMS
22.1.This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, and it is expressly agreed that any and all prior representations, negotiations, understandings or agreements relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, whether oral or written, are automatically canceled by the execution of this Agreement. The terms and conditions set forth herein may only be modified or waived in a subsequent writing signed by both parties. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.
22.2.The parties recognize that, during the Term of this Agreement, a purchase order, acknowledgment form or similar routine document (collectively, “Forms”) and/or the Quality Agreement may be used to implement or administer provisions of this Agreement. Therefore, the parties agree that the terms of this Agreement, together with any amendments hereto, shall prevail in the event of any conflict between the express terms of this Agreement and any statements or provisions contained in the Forms. The parties further agree that any pre-printed terms or conditions contained in a purchase order (or other Form) are null and void and are not binding on the parties.
23.HEADINGS
All headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
24.EXHIBITS
All exhibits referred to herein form an integral part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this Agreement by such reference.
Exhibit 10.2
25.COUNTERPARTS
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts by original, facsimile or “.pdf” signature, each such counterpart shall be an original instrument, and all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
26.ASSIGNMENT
This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties and the name of a party appearing herein shall be deemed to include the names of its successors and assigns. Neither party may assign its interest under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that either party may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the other party, (a) in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such party or the line of business or API to which this Agreement relates, (b) to the successor entity or acquiror in the event of the merger, consolidation or change of control of such party, or (c) to any Affiliate of such party or (d) in the case of BUYER, to a collaborator or licensee of the Product; provided, in each case of ‘(a)’-‘(c)’, that such assignee agrees in writing to comply with all the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. Any assignment of this Agreement permitted by prior written consent will be conditioned upon such permitted assignee agreeing in writing to comply with all the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. Any purported assignment without a required consent shall be void. No assignment shall relieve any party of responsibility for the performance of any obligation that accrued prior to the effective date of such assignment.
27.SEVERABILITY
If any part of this Agreement shall be found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under applicable law in any jurisdiction, such part shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability in such jurisdiction, without in any way affecting the remaining parts of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole in any other jurisdiction. In addition, the part that is found to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable under applicable law in any jurisdiction shall be reformed in a mutually agreeable manner so as to (a) conform to the applicable laws of such jurisdiction, and (b) as nearly approximate the original intent of the parties as possible. If the offending provision cannot be so reformed without materially altering the original intent of the parties: (a) it shall be stricken, and (b) the parties shall discuss in good faith possible changes to this Agreement to conform as close as possible to the parties’ original intent without the unenforceable provision.
28.INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
The relationship between BUYER and SUPPLIER hereunder is that of an independent contractor. Neither party shall have any power, right, or authority to bind or obligate the other party, or represent itself as the other party’s agent or representative. Further, neither party shall contact or communicate with the other party’s customers in any manner or for any reason unless the other party shall have consented thereto in advance.
