(d) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to enable Purchaser or any of its Affiliates with respect to, or to disclose to Purchaser or its Affiliates, (i) any Licensed Intellectual Property that constitutes “Licensed Intellectual Property” solely because it is described in clause (b) or (c) of such definition or (ii) any Licensed Intellectual Property not described in clause (a) or (d) of such definition except, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), to the extent expressly required by this Agreement or the Supply Agreement.

(f) In the event that Seller or its Affiliates propose to assign or license any intellectual property that it believes could be within the scope of the Licensed Intellectual Property, or otherwise be subject to Section 7.4(e), Seller (or its Affiliates) may request that representatives of Seller (or such Affiliate) and representatives of Purchaser meet to review the intellectual property proposed to be assigned with a view to determining whether such intellectual property is in fact within the scope of the Licensed Intellectual Property or otherwise subject to Section 7.4(e).  All communications by Seller, its Affiliates and Purchaser and their respective representatives in connection with this Section 7.4(f) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.8 (provided that for purposes of this Section 7.4(f), the term of the confidentiality obligation shall be seven years from the date of such disclosure).

 

SECTION 7.5. Litigation Support.

 

(a) Following the date hereof, Purchaser and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller and its Affiliates, on the other hand, will reasonably cooperate with each other in the defense or settlement of any Liabilities or lawsuits involving the Purchased Assets for which the other party has responsibility under this Agreement by providing the other party and such other party’s legal counsel reasonable access to employees, records, documents, data, equipment, facilities, products, parts, prototypes and other information regarding the Purchased Assets and the Products as such other party may reasonably request, to the extent maintained by or under the possession or control of the requested party; provided, however, that such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the business of such party or its Affiliates; and provided, further that such party may restrict the foregoing access to the extent that (i) such restriction is required by applicable Law, or (ii) such access or provision of information would result in a violation of confidentiality obligations to a Third Party.  In any such instance, the requesting party shall reimburse the other party for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses paid to Third Parties in performing its obligations under this Section 7.5(a).  For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall not apply to the prosecution, defense, or maintenance of any of the Transferred Patents or any other legal action brought by or against Purchaser or its Affiliates relating to any Transferred Patent.

 

(b) From and after the date hereof, in any prosecution, defense, or maintenance of any of the Transferred Patents or any other legal action brought by or against Seller, Purchaser or their respective Affiliates relating to any Transferred Patent, whether commenced on or prior to the date hereof or following the date hereof, Purchaser shall bear all costs and expenses of any such action, shall have exclusive control thereof and may compromise or settle the same in its sole discretion.  In connection with any such action, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, reasonably assist, cooperate and consult with Purchaser and its Affiliates, including by making available, to the extent reasonably practicable, the inventors and other key individuals, as well as their files and other relevant documents, as needed and reasonable for such purposes; provided that Purchaser shall bear all of Seller’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred following the Closing Date associated with providing any such cooperation and assistance requested by Purchaser.  Purchaser acknowledges that some or all of such individuals are no longer employed by Seller or its Affiliates and that all or a portion of their files and other relevant documents may not be under Seller’s control or in its possession.  Purchaser therefore further acknowledges that it may not be reasonably practicable to make these individuals and relevant documents available.  Except as set forth in this Section 7.5(b) and in Article VIII below, Seller shall have no obligation to cooperate, support, or participate in any such action.

 

(c) The documentation and other information obtained or received by Purchaser or its representatives pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall be subject to Section 10.8 below; provided, however, that any such documentation or information that constitutes privileged attorney-client communication or attorney work product will be deemed disclosed by Seller under the Joint Privilege Agreement, and will be deemed “Privileged Information” thereunder (as defined therein).

 

(d) Seller and its Affiliates shall have the right (but not the obligation), at their own expense, to participate, and be represented by counsel selected by them, in any patent litigation involving any of the Transferred Patents or based on any activities of Seller and its Affiliates involving any Transferred Assets, Compound or Product.

 

(e) The parties acknowledge and agree that Seller has retained [***] as litigation counsel with respect to the expected ANDA litigation relating to the Product, and Purchaser has consented to this retention.  The parties acknowledge that each of them will be invoiced for [***], and that [***] has established a billing procedure to reflect this fee-sharing arrangement.

 

SECTION 7.6. Further Assurances; Supplemental Disclosure.

 

(a) From time to time after the Closing, and for no further consideration, each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to execute, acknowledge and deliver such assignments, transfers, consents, assumptions and other documents and instruments and take such other actions as may reasonably be requested by the other party to more effectively (i) convey to, transfer to or vest in Purchaser and its designated Affiliates the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement to be transferred or assumed at the Closing (including transferring at no additional cost to Purchaser any Purchased Asset contemplated by this Agreement to be transferred to Purchaser at the Closing and that was not so transferred at the Closing), (ii) grant the licenses to the Licensed Intellectual Property contemplated by Section 7.4 and (iii) make available any books, records, agreements, documents, databases, files and other documentation relating to the Purchased Assets which were not previously made available to Purchaser as required by Section 7.1(a) to the extent that such documentation would have been required to be made available prior to the Closing pursuant to Section 7.1(a).  In the event that Seller becomes aware of any actions that are necessary under clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 7.6(a), it shall promptly notify Purchaser thereof and, in the case of clause (ii), it shall cause each applicable Affiliate of Seller to promptly execute and deliver to Purchaser all necessary License Grants (which shall have retroactive effect as of the Closing Date).

SECTION 7.7. Assistance for Certain Claims.

 

If, after the Closing, Seller or any of its Divesting Affiliates wishes to make a claim or otherwise take action against a Third Party with respect to any Excluded Asset or any Retained Liability, then, to the extent such claim or action relates to the Purchased Assets or the Licensed Intellectual Property, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, reasonably assist, cooperate and consult with Seller or its applicable Divesting Affiliates with respect to such actions; provided, that Seller or such Divesting Affiliate shall agree to reimburse Purchaser for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser and its Affiliates in complying with this Section 7.7.

 

SECTION 7.8. Competition.

 

Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller and its Affiliates shall be entitled to manufacture, package, test, design, develop, distribute, market, use, sell or otherwise deal with any products that such Person owns or has a license to prior to the Closing or that it may acquire or obtain a license to at any time after the Closing, notwithstanding that such products may compete, directly or indirectly, with any of the Products.  It is understood and agreed that this Section 7.8 shall not grant Seller or its Affiliates any right to any Purchased Asset or other asset of Purchaser or its Affiliates following the Closing.

 

SECTION 8.1. Indemnification by Seller.

 

Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, from and after the Closing, Seller agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates, and its and their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, successors and assigns (the “Purchaser Indemnitees”), from and against any and all losses, damages, Liabilities, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by any of them to the extent arising from or relating to (i) any claim asserted by a Third Party (a “Third Party Claim”) in respect of any Retained Liability relating to Compound or Product, (ii) any breach by Seller of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, (iii) any breach of any warranty or representation of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (iv) any matter existing as of the Closing Date that results in representations and warranties of Seller contained herein failing to be true and correct in all respects as of the Closing, as if made as of the Closing (except for those representations and warranties that address matters as of a particular date, in which case failing to be true and correct in all respects as of such date).

SECTION 8.3. [Intentionally Omitted.]

 

SECTION 8.4. Indemnification Procedure.

 

(a) Notice of Claim.  All indemnification claims in respect of a Purchaser Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee shall be made solely by Purchaser or Seller, as applicable (each of Purchaser or Seller in such capacity, the “Indemnified Party”).  The Indemnified Party shall give the party from whom indemnity is being sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any claim of Loss or discovery of facts upon which such Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2.  Each Indemnification Claim Notice shall contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss are known at such time).  The Indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the Indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses.  A failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice of the claim as required by this Section 8.4(a) shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII, except (i) to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby and (ii) as provided in Section 8.5.

 

(b) Procedures.  The obligations of an Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII shall be governed by and be contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions:

 

(i) Control of Defense.

 

(A) At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing that the Losses resulting from such Third Party Claim are within the scope of indemnified Losses subject to Section 8.1, in the case of Seller as the Indemnifying Party, or Section 8.2, in the case of Purchaser as the Indemnifying Party; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to (A) assume the defense, appeal or settlement of any Third Party Claim if (1) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; or (2) the Third Party Claim seeks any injunction or equitable relief against any Purchase Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee, as applicable; or (B) maintain control of the defense, appeal or settlement of any Third Party Claim if the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to defend in good faith the Third Party Claim.  Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party.  In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, to the extent legally permissible the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by any Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee, as applicable, in connection with the Third Party Claim.  Subject to clause (ii) below, if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party or Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee, as applicable, in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim.

 

(B) If the Indemnifying Party is entitled to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to paragraph (A) above, but is not prepared to acknowledge in writing that the Losses resulting from such Third Party Claim are within the scope of indemnified Losses subject to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, as applicable, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall jointly control the defense, appeal and settlement of the claim.  In such instance, (x) defense counsel for the Third Party Claim shall be jointly appointed by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, and the costs of defense (including the fees and expenses of such jointly appointed counsel) shall be borne equally by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, regardless of which party initially pays such costs, (y) each of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to consent to all material decisions and actions taken in the defense of the Third Party Claim and to any settlement or compromise of such Third Party Claim, in each case such consent to not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and (z) each of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the joint defense through its own independent counsel, at its own expense.  In the event that the Indemnifying Party subsequently assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 8.4(b)(i)(A), then the Indemnifying Party shall become responsible for (and reimburse the Indemnified Party as applicable) all costs of the joint defense contemplated by clause (x) of the preceding sentence.  If it is ultimately determined that the Third Party Claim is not indemnifiable hereunder, then the Indemnified Party shall become responsible for (and reimburse the Indemnifying Party as applicable) all costs of the joint defense contemplated by clause (x) of this Section 8.4(b)(i)(B).

 

(ii) Right to Participate in Defense.  Without limiting Section 8.4(b)(i), if, with respect to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense and employed counsel in accordance with Section 8.4(b)(i)(A), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose (which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) at its sole cost and expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel (A) incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the date the Indemnifying Party assumed control of the defense of such Third Party Claim, or (B) if the interests of the Indemnified Party and Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee, as applicable, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Party, on the other hand, with respect to such Third Party Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both parties under applicable law, ethical rules or equitable principles.

 

(iii) Settlement.  In the event the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to paragraph (A) above, the Indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of a Third Party Claim, on such terms as the Indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate; provided, however, that such Third Party Claim involves solely the payment of money damages and will not result in the Indemnified Party or any Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee, as applicable, becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affect the business of the Indemnified Party or any Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee, as applicable, in any manner, and as to which the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee, as applicable, hereunder.  With respect to all other Third Party Claims, where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.4(b)(i), the Indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Third Party Claim; provided that it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a Third Party Claim by an Indemnified Party or any Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee, as applicable, that is reached without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party.  Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party chooses or is entitled to defend any Third Party Claim, no Indemnified Party nor any Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee, as applicable, shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or dispose of, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

(iv) Cooperation.  Each party and each Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee, as applicable, shall cooperate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.  Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to each party to, and reasonable retention by the Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee, as applicable, of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees and, to the extent reasonably practicable, agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

 

SECTION 8.5. Expiration.

 

If the Closing shall have occurred, all covenants, agreements, warranties and representations made herein shall survive the Closing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all representations and warranties made herein, and all indemnification obligations under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 with respect to any such representation or warranty (other than those made in Section 5.7, which shall terminate and expire on the second anniversary of the Closing Date), shall terminate and expire on, and no claim, action or proceeding seeking damages or other relief for breach of any thereof or for any misrepresentation or inaccuracy with respect thereto shall be brought or commenced after, the date on which all applicable statutes of limitation shall have expired, unless prior to such date a claim for indemnification with respect thereto shall have been made by written notice given in accordance with Section 8.4(a).

 

SECTION 8.6. Certain Limitations.

 

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article VIII, in no event shall Purchaser’s or Seller’s aggregate indemnification obligation under this Article VIII exceed [***].

 

SECTION 8.7. Losses Net of Insurance, Etc.

 

The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under Section 8.1 or 8.2 shall be net of (i) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any Third Party with respect to such Loss and (ii) any Third Party insurance proceeds actually received with respect to such Loss.  If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under Section 8.1 or 8.2 is determined after the Indemnifying Party has made such payment, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article VIII had such determination been made at the time of such payment.  Without limiting the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall take, and shall cause the other Purchaser Indemnitees or Seller Indemnitees, as applicable, to take, commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses upon becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto; provided, that any costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith shall be included in the amount of such Losses; provided, further, that the Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to commence or prosecute any litigation or to take any other action that in its good faith judgment would be reasonably likely to negatively affect its business or business relationships in any material respect.

 

SECTION 8.8. Sole Remedy/Waiver.

 

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing the remedies provided for in this Article VIII shall be the parties’ sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud and except for seeking specific performance or other equitable relief to require a party to perform its obligations under this Agreement).  Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as provided in Section 8.6 herein, nothing in this Agreement shall affect the rights and remedies available to the parties or any other Person under any Ancillary Agreement or for any breach thereof.

 

SECTION 8.9. No Consequential Damages.

 

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THE INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OF A PARTY HERETO OR FRAUD, NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIABLE TO OR OTHERWISE RESPONSIBLE TO THE OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE OTHER PARTY HERETO FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR MULTIPLIED DAMAGES THAT ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH HEREOF OR ANY LIABILITY RETAINED OR ASSUMED HEREUNDER, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOST PROFITS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO PRECLUDE INDEMNITY HEREUNDER FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR MULTIPLIED DAMAGES PAYABLE TO ANY THIRD PARTY.

 

 

 

 

SECTION 9.1. Termination.

 

This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

 

(a) by written agreement of Purchaser and Seller;

 

(b) by either Purchaser or Seller, by giving written notice of such termination to the other party, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to the three-month anniversary of the date of this Agreement (the “Outside Date”) (unless the failure to consummate the Closing by the Outside Date shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to have fulfilled any of its obligations under this Agreement);

 

(c) by either Purchaser or Seller, by giving written notice of such termination to the other party, if any court of competent jurisdiction or other competent Governmental Authority shall have issued a Governmental Order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Governmental Order or other action shall have become final and nonappealable;

 

(d) by Seller, upon written notice to Purchaser, if (i) there exists a breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement to be performed or complied with by Purchaser such that one or more closing conditions set forth in Section 4.1 or Section 4.3 would not be satisfied or (ii) there exists a breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in this Agreement such that the closing condition set forth in Section 4.1 or Section 4.3 would not be satisfied, and, in either case, such breach is incapable of being cured by the Outside Date; or

 

(e) by Purchaser, upon written notice to Seller, if (i) there exists a breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement to be performed or complied with by Seller such that one or more closing conditions set forth in Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 would not be satisfied or (ii) there exists a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement such that the closing condition set forth in Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 would not be satisfied, and, in either case, such breach is incapable of being cured by the Outside Date.

 

SECTION 9.2. Effect of Termination.

 

(a)  In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1, this Agreement shall thereafter become void and have no further effect, and no party hereto shall have any liability to the other party hereto or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers or employees, except for the obligations of the parties hereto contained in this Section 9.2 and in Sections 10.1 (“Notices”), 10.7 (“Public Disclosure”), 10.8 (“Confidentiality of Information”), 10.9 (“Expenses”), 10.11 (“Governing Law”) and 10.12 (“Dispute Resolution”) hereof, and except that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any breach of any covenant set forth in this Agreement that occurs prior to such termination.

 

(b) In the event this Agreement shall be terminated and at such time any party is in breach of or default under any term or provision hereof, such termination shall be without prejudice to, and shall not affect, any and all rights to damages that any other party may have hereunder or otherwise under applicable Law in respect of such breach or default.

 

(c) In the event that this Agreement is terminated, Purchaser shall pay Seller the Supply Catch-Up Payment, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to one or two accounts specified in writing by Seller.  Such payment shall be made on or prior to the later of (i) the tenth Business Day following the date of such termination and (ii) the third Business Day after Purchaser receives Seller’s wire transfer instructions.  For clarity, if the Supply Catch-Up Payment is made, there shall be no intermediate reconciliation payment due pursuant to Section 10.5(f) of the Janssen License Agreement with respect to Compound supplied between the date hereof and the date this Agreement terminates, but payment of the Supply Catch-Up Payment shall not affect any other obligations of Seller or Mylan under Section 10.5 of the Janssen License Agreement (including those relating to the final reconciliation payment in respect of Compound supplied during calendar year 2011).  The parties hereto acknowledge that this Section 9.2(c) shall have no further force and effect upon the Closing.

SECTION 10.7. Public Disclosure.

 

Without the prior written approval of the other Party, neither Party nor any of its Affiliates, nor any of its or their respective directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, agents or other representatives shall originate any publicity, news release or other public announcement, written or oral (each, a “Public Disclosure”), relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or to performance hereunder or the existence of any arrangement between the parties hereto, except to the extent such Public Disclosure is required by applicable Law or the rules of any stock exchange upon which the securities of such Party are listed or is materially consistent with a previous Public Disclosure made in compliance herewith; provided that in such event, the disclosing Party shall, to the extent practicable, as far in advance of making such Public Disclosure as is reasonably practicable, provide the other Party with a copy of the text of such Public Disclosure in order to allow such other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on same.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Forest Laboratories, Inc., the ultimate parent of Purchaser, shall be permitted to issue a press release announcing the execution of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, substantially in the form of Exhibit H, following the execution of this Agreement and, to the extent required pursuant to United States securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, shall be permitted to include descriptions and copies of the Transaction Documents in its filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.  Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment for any commercially sensitive portions of the Transaction Documents in connection with any such filings and shall provide Seller with reasonable opportunity to review and comment on drafts of any such filings prior to the date of filing.

(a) Confidential Information.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 10.8(b) and 10.8(c), for seven (7) years following the Closing Date, the Receiving Party (i) shall keep completely confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose any Confidential Information furnished to it by the Disclosing Party, except to those of the Receiving Party’s Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, agents or other representatives who have a need to know such information (collectively, “Recipients”) to perform such party’s obligations or exercise such party’s rights hereunder (and who shall be advised of the Receiving Party’s obligations hereunder and who are bound by confidentiality obligations with respect to such Confidential Information substantially similar to those set forth in this Section 10.8) and (ii) shall not use Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party directly or indirectly for any purpose other than performing its obligations or exercising its rights hereunder.  The Receiving Party shall be jointly and severally liable for any breach by any of its Recipients of the restrictions set forth in this Section 10.8.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, from and after the Closing, the Purchased Assets and any Confidential Information returned by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to the Canada License Termination Agreement shall be deemed to be the Confidential Information of Purchaser and not of Seller, and Purchaser shall be deemed to be the Disclosing Party of such Confidential Information, regardless of the Disclosing Party of such Confidential Information, and Sections 10.8(b)(ii), 10.8(b)(iii) and 10.8(b)(v) shall be inapplicable thereto.

 

(b) Exceptions to Confidentiality.  The Receiving Party’s obligations set forth in this Section 10.8 shall not extend to any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party:

 

(i) that is or hereafter becomes part of the public domain through no breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Recipients;

 

(ii) that is received from a third party without restriction and without breach of any obligation of confidentiality between such third party and the Disclosing Party;

 

(iii) that the Receiving Party can demonstrate by competent evidence was already in its possession without obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party prior to its receipt from the Disclosing Party (for clarity, this exception shall not apply to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party disclosed in connection with the Janssen License Agreement);

 

(iv) that is generally made available to third parties by the Disclosing Party without restriction on disclosure;

 

(v) that the Receiving Party can demonstrate by competent evidence was independently developed by or on behalf of the Receiving Party or its Affiliates;

 

(vi) with respect to Purchaser, that constitutes a Purchased Asset; or

 

(vii) with respect to Seller, that relates to Transferred Know-How as necessary or useful for Seller and its Affiliates to exercise any license rights granted back under Section 7.4(c).

 

(c) Permitted Disclosure.

 

(i) The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent that such disclosure is required to be made in response to a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental body of a country or any political subdivision thereof of competent jurisdiction or otherwise required by law or regulation, in the opinion of counsel to the Receiving Party; provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall first have given notice to the Disclosing Party and given the Disclosing Party, to the extent reasonably practicable under the circumstances, an opportunity to quash such order or to obtain a protective order requiring that the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party or documents that are the subject of such order be held in confidence by such court or governmental body; and provided further that if a disclosure order is not quashed or a protective order is not obtained, the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party disclosed in response to such court or governmental order or as otherwise required by law or regulation shall be limited to that information that is legally required to be disclosed in such response to such court or governmental order or otherwise required by law or regulation.

 

(ii) Purchaser may disclose Confidential Information of Seller, to the extent such Confidential Information is related to Compound or Product, to the extent that such disclosure is required to be made to Regulatory Authorities in connection with any filing, application or request for Regulatory Approval; provided, however, that reasonable measures shall be taken to assure confidential treatment of such information.

 

(iii) Purchaser may disclose Confidential Information of Seller, to the extent such Confidential Information is related to Compound or Product, to its Affiliates or its or their attorneys, auditors, advisors, consultants, contractors, existing or prospective collaboration partners, licensees or acquirers, or other Third Parties as may be necessary or useful in connection with the importation, manufacture, use, marketing, offering for sale and/or sale of Compound and Product in the Territory (including manufacture outside of the Territory for sale in the Territory); provided, however, that, except in the cases of disclosure to Persons subject to professional duties of nondisclosure, such Persons shall be subject to obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to such Confidential Information at least as restrictive as the obligations of confidentiality and non-use of Purchaser pursuant to this Section 10.8 (except that in the case of disclosure of data relating to the safety or efficacy of Compound or Product, such obligation shall not be required solely to the extent that Purchaser customarily would disclose its own confidential information under the circumstances without such obligation of confidentiality); provided, further, that to the extent such Confidential Information also relates to products other than Compound and Product and such disclosure of such Confidential Information would reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact on such other product, Purchaser shall inform Seller thereof, shall consult with Seller with respect to the disclosure of such Confidential Information, and shall consider in good faith the comments of Seller with respect to such disclosure with a view to minimizing any such adverse impact, in each case prior to disclosing such Confidential Information.

The disclosure of any matter in any Schedule to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a disclosure for the purposes of the Section or subsection of this Agreement to which it corresponds in number and each other Section and subsection of this Agreement to the extent such disclosure is reasonably apparent on the face thereof to be relevant to such other Section or subsection.  The disclosure of any matter in any Schedule to this Agreement shall expressly not be deemed to (a) constitute an admission by any party hereto, or (b) imply that any such matter is material for the purposes of this Agreement.

If a dispute arises between the parties hereto in connection with or relating to this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith (a “Dispute”), it shall be resolved pursuant to this Section 10.12.

 

(a) Either party shall have the right to refer any Dispute to the executive officer from each party that is responsible for manufacturing and supply of pharmaceutical products generally who shall confer on the resolution of the Dispute.  Any final decision mutually agreed to by such officers that is evidenced by a written agreement between the parties meeting the requirements of Section 10.2, once executed and delivered by the parties shall be conclusive and binding on the parties.  If such officers are not able to agree on the resolution of any such Dispute within [***] after such Dispute was first referred to them, either party may, by written notice to the other party, elect to initiate arbitration pursuant to Section 10.12(b) for purposes of having the Dispute resolved.

 

(b) In the event that the applicable executive officers of the parties are not able to agree on the resolution of any Dispute in accordance with Section 10.12(a), either party may elect to have the matter resolved by expedited arbitration under the International Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Section 10.12(b) upon written notice to the other party. The locus of such arbitration shall be in New York, New York.  The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) industry experts experienced in the issues comprising such Dispute.  One arbitrator shall be chosen by Seller, one arbitrator shall be chosen by Purchaser and the third arbitrator shall be chosen by mutual agreement of the arbitrators chosen by Purchaser and Seller.  Within [***] after the selection of the third arbitrator (which shall occur not later than [***] after a party notifies the other party that it elects to have a Dispute resolved pursuant to arbitration under this Section 10.12(b)), the parties shall each simultaneously submit to the arbitration panel and one another a written statement of their respective positions on such Dispute.  Each party shall have [***] from receipt of the other party’s submission to submit a written response thereto, which shall include any scientific and technical information in support thereof.  The arbitration panel shall conduct at least one hearing at which each party shall have the opportunity to advocate its position before the other party and the arbitration panel.  The arbitration panel shall have the right to further meet with both parties together, as necessary to make a determination.  There shall be no ex parte communications between an individual party and either the arbitration panel or one or more arbitrators.  All documents submitted shall be in the English language.  Further, the arbitration panel shall have the right to request information and materials and to require and facilitate discovery as it shall determine is appropriate in the circumstances, taking into account the needs of the parties and the desirability of making discovery expeditious and cost-effective determinations.  No later than [***] after the designation of the third arbitrator or as otherwise agreed by the parties, the arbitration panel shall make a determination.  The arbitration panel shall provide the parties with a written statement setting forth the basis of the determination in connection therewith.  The decision of the arbitration panel shall be final, binding and conclusive, absent manifest error.  Unless otherwise determined by the arbitration panel, each party shall bear its attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges, travel expenses, etc.) [***].  Judgment upon any award rendered pursuant to this Section 10.12(b) may be entered by any court having jurisdiction over the parties’ assets.  Except to the extent necessary to confirm or enforce an award or as may be required by law, neither party nor any of the arbitrators may disclose the existence, content or results of an arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties.

 

(c) Each party has the right before or, if the arbitrator(s) cannot hear the matter within an acceptable period, during the arbitration to seek and obtain from the appropriate court provisional remedies such as attachment, preliminary injunction, replevin, etc. to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo, or preserve the subject matter of the arbitration.

 

(d) EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL OF ANY ISSUE BY JURY.

 

(e) EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ANY CLAIM FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS AND PREJUDGMENT INTEREST FROM THE OTHER EXCEPT IN CONNECTION WITH A DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR FRAUD.
