(b) Mallinckrodt shall have the right, upon reasonable prior written notice, no more than [ *** ] in any calendar year, during Horizons regular business hours and through the use of an independent accounting firm or other appropriate Third Party expert (Auditor) acceptable to Horizon (which acceptance shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed), to review, examine and audit the Relevant Records of Horizon (including those in possession of any Third Party
37 | *** Confidential Treatment Requested |
acting on behalf of Horizon to the extent, through the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts by Horizon, such records can be made available for audit, review or examination) pertaining to no more than the [ *** ] years immediately preceding the date of such notice for the sole purposes of (i) verifying the accuracy of calculation and payment by Horizon of any Co-promotion Fees (in particular, as reflected on any Payment Report) or the Residual Fee that may be due to Mallinckrodt hereunder with respect to such period and (ii) verifying the accuracy of Direct Costs invoiced by Horizon to Mallinckrodt for Product samples and Promotional Materials during such period.

In the event the Auditor concludes, with respect to any given period of time, that additional payments were owed to Mallinckrodt or excess charges were invoiced to Mallinckrodt, the Auditor shall deliver to both Parties a written report setting forth its conclusions in detail and accompanied by all necessary supporting documentation.

38 | *** Confidential Treatment Requested |
or more of the conclusions set forth in the Auditors report, then Horizon may withhold payment or refund to Mallinckrodt of any amounts with respect to which it has timely objected in good faith, but shall promptly pay or refund any amounts to which it has not so objected and therefore are not in dispute. If Horizon has timely provided notice to Mallinckrodt of dispute as to one or more items in the Auditors report, the Parties shall thereafter, for a period of no more than [ *** ] days after Mallinckrodts receipt of any written objections from Horizon, and in good faith, attempt to resolve any such disputes and, if they are unable to do so with respect to any one or more matters in dispute, then the matter(s) will be referred for final resolution to Third Party accounting firms and/or other experts (as appropriate to the dispute) selected by mutual agreement of the Parties, the written decision of which firms or experts will be final and binding upon the Parties and the fees and expenses of which firms or experts shall be paid as shall be reasonably directed in the final written decision submitted by such firms and experts.

51 | *** Confidential Treatment Requested |
Affiliates, consultants, agents and representatives, only on a need-to-know basis and only on condition that such Persons agree to keep the Proprietary and Confidential Information confidential for the same time periods and to the same extent as such Recipient Party and further agree to use such Proprietary and Confidential Information only for purposes relevant to the performance by a Recipient Party of its obligations under this Agreement.

(iii) any actions or omissions to act by any sales representative of Horizon and/or its Affiliates related to the Promotion of the Product (including, without limitation, any Promotion of the Product for any off-label indications or claims or any other false or misleading representations to healthcare providers or others regarding the Product),
(iv) any claim, lawsuit or other action made by any Third Party alleging that (A) the manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale or marketing of the Product by Horizon and/or (B) Mallinckrodts use of the Promotional Materials in the form provided by Horizon to promote the Product in compliance with the terms of this Agreement infringes or misappropriates any patent, trademark or other intellectual property rights of a Third Party (except with respect to clause (B), to the extent that Horizon directs Mallinckrodt to stop use of such Promotional Materials and Mallinckrodt does not do so),
(v) any claim, lawsuit or other action made by any Third Party alleging that the use of the Product has caused any Adverse Drug Experience, Serious Adverse Drug Experience or any other personal injury or death, or that the labeling of the Product fails properly or fully to warn users or prescribers of the Product of the risks associated with its use, or any other claim with respect to the Product that is in the nature of product liability,
(vi) any claim, lawsuit or other action alleging that any Promotional Materials provided by Horizon and used in accordance with this Agreement make false, unlawful or
55
unsupported claims about the Product or otherwise violate any applicable Legal Requirements, and
(vii) any negligent or wrongful act or omission to act by Horizon or its Affiliates, or anyone act on behalf of any of them, in connection with performance hereunder,
except for any Loss for which Mallinckrodt has the obligation to defend, indemnify and hold harmless pursuant to Section 12.1 above.
12.3 Indemnification Procedures.
Unless and to the extent otherwise specifically provided herein, a Party or any other Person entitled to indemnification under this Article XII (the Indemnitee) that intends to claim indemnification under this Article XII with respect to any Third Party claim, lawsuit or action shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party (the Indemnitor) of any Loss arising out of any Third Party claim, lawsuit or action in respect of which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification, and the Indemnitor shall have the sole right and responsibility to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense and to retain its own counsel, at its own expense. An Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Article XII if any settlement or compromise of a Third Party claim, lawsuit or action is effected by the Indemnitee without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. An Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect to any Third Party claim, lawsuit or action seeking only monetary changes in an amount in excess of the amount which such Third Party has unequivocally and in writing agreed with the Indemnitor it is willing to accept in settlement or compromise of any such Third Party claim. An Indemnitor (i) shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any Third Party claim, lawsuit or action or consent to the entry of any judgment or other order with respect thereto unless it contains, as a part thereof, an unconditional release of the Indemnitee for liability for all Loss that may arise from such claim and (ii) shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any Third Party claim, lawsuit or action or consent to the entry of any judgment or other order with respect thereto which contains any injunctive or other non-monetary relief that might in any way interfere with the future
56
conduct of business by the Indemnitee. The failure by the Indemnitee to deliver notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such Third Party claim, lawsuit or action, if materially prejudicial to the Indemnitors ability to defend, shall relieve such Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Article XII. An Indemnitee, its Affiliates, and its and their employees, agents and representatives, shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any action, claim or liability covered by this indemnification.
12.4 Consequential Damages.
NEITHER MALLINCKRODT NOR HORIZON, NOR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, NOR THE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND THAT MAY ARISE UNDER OR BE RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DAMAGES MAY HAVE BEEN REASONABLY FORESEEABLE; PROVIDED THAT, THE FOREGOING LIMITATION SHALL NOT BE APPLICABLE TO ANY DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF ARTICLE XI OR LOSS ARISING DUE TO FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR TO THE OBLIGATIONS FOR INDEMNIFICATION UNDER SECTION 12.1 OR 12.2 WITH RESPECT TO THIRD PARTY CLAIMS, LAWSUITS OR ACTIONS.
ARTICLE XIII
MISCELLANEOUS
13.1 Assignment.
This Agreement, and a Partys right and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that either Party may, without such prior written consent, assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement (i) in connection with a corporate reorganization to any Affiliate, provided that the
57
assigning Party shall remain liable and responsible to the non-assigning Party for the performance and observance of all such duties and obligations by such Affiliate, or (ii) to an unrelated Third Party in connection with a merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of a Partys business or assets to which this Agreement relates to such unrelated Third Party. Any purported assignment in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void. This Section 13.1 shall have no effect on the right of either Party to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(f) above.
13.2 Severability.
Should one or more provisions of this Agreement be or become invalid or unenforceable, the Parties hereto shall substitute, by mutual consent, valid and enforceable provisions for such invalid or unenforceable provisions which new provisions, in their economic and other effects, are sufficiently similar to the invalid or unenforceable provisions that it can be reasonably assumed that the Parties would have originally entered into this Agreement with such new provisions. In case such new provisions cannot be agreed upon, the invalidity or unenforceability of one or several provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of this Agreement as a whole or the validity of any portions hereof, unless the invalid or unenforceable provisions are of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that one or both of the Parties would not originally have entered into this Agreement without such invalid or unenforceable provisions.
13.3 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, except for the timely payment hereunder of any money due by one Party to the other, when such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party (an event of force majeure), including but not limited to fire, floods, embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war is declared or not), insurrections, riots, civil commotions, the existence or administration of any laws, rules or regulations, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances, acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any Governmental Authority or the other Party; provided, however, that the Party so affected shall use reasonable
58
commercial efforts to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance, and shall continue performance hereunder with reasonable dispatch whenever such causes are removed. Each Party shall provide the other party with prompt written notice of any delay or failure to perform that occurs by reason of an event of force majeure. If an event of force majeure causes a failure or delay in performance hereunder by a Party for more than one hundred twenty (120) consecutive days, which failure or delay has a material adverse effect on the other Partys performance and/or the realization of its benefits hereunder, such other Party, at its option, may terminate this Agreement effective upon written notice to the Party experiencing an event of force majeure, subject to the consequences of such termination as set forth in Section 8.3 above.
13.4 Notices.
Any consent, notice or report required or permitted to be given or made under this Agreement by one of the Parties hereto to the other, except for any notices required in connection with any pharmacovigilance or safety data exchange agreement between the Parties, shall be in writing, delivered personally, or by electronic transmission if receipt is confirmed electronically, or by courier, or by certified mail (postage prepaid) addressed to such other Party at its address indicated below, or to such other address as the addressee shall have last furnished in writing to the addressor, and shall be effective in all cases upon receipt by the addressee.

13.5 Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its conflict of laws provisions that might apply the law of another jurisdiction (except for the conflict of laws provisions contained in Section 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law).

If a controversy or claim should arise hereunder, and if a dispute resolution provision is not otherwise provided herein for settlement of such controversy or claim, the representatives of the Parties will confer at least once and will attempt to resolve the matter. Except as specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, if the matter has not been resolved within [ *** ] days
60 | *** Confidential Treatment Requested |
of their first meeting, the representatives shall refer the matter to appropriate members of their senior management. If the matter has not been resolved within [ *** ] days by members of the Parties senior management, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be settled as set forth in Section 13.6(b) set forth immediately below, if both Parties agree in writing.
(b) If and as the Parties agree to submit any dispute to arbitration, any such dispute arising between the Parties hereunder shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS) Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, as such rules may be modified by this Section 13.6(b) or by written agreement of the Parties. The Parties shall mutually select a single independent, conflict-free arbitrator, who shall have sufficient background and experience to resolve the matter(s) in dispute. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement on the selection of the arbitrator within [ *** ] days after submission of a dispute to arbitration, then either or both Parties shall immediately request JAMS to select an arbitrator with the requisite background, experience and expertise. Notwithstanding the applicable JAMS rules, (i) the arbitrator shall resolve the dispute as expeditiously as reasonably possible, and in any event no later than [ *** ] days following referral of the dispute to the arbitrator and (ii) the arbitrator shall resolve the dispute in a manner that is fair and reasonable to the Parties in light of the totality of the circumstances and the terms of this Agreement. The place of arbitration shall be Chicago, Illinois, and all proceedings and communications shall be in English. Either Party may apply to the arbitrator for interim injunctive relief or may seek from any court having jurisdiction any injunctive or provisional relief necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party pending resolution of the matter pursuant to this Section 13.6(b). The Parties shall have the right to be represented by counsel. Any judgment or award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the Parties, and shall be governed by the terms and conditions hereof, including the limitation on damages set forth in Section 12.4 above. The Parties agree that such a judgment or award may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The statute of limitations of the State of New York applicable to the commencement of a lawsuit shall apply to the commencement of arbitration under this Section 13.6(b).

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, any dispute arising hereunder for which there is a specific dispute resolution procedure provided herein shall be settled only by application of such procedure and not by resort to the dispute resolution mechanics set forth in this Section 13.6.
(d) Any dispute which cannot be resolved by the Parties in accordance with Section 13.6(a) above and the Parties do not agree will be submitted to arbitration to be settled in accordance with the requirements of Section 13.6(b) above, may be settled through litigation brought by one or both of the Parties in a court of appropriate jurisdiction and venue, or by any other means agreed upon by the Parties.

THIRD PARTY DATA USE AGREEMENT
Terms and Conditions
1. | Contractors Use of Data. |
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Contractor agrees to use the Data only for the Permitted Use set forth in this Agreement. Under no circumstances shall Contractor use any of the Data, or any information derived therefrom, for Contractors own direct benefit or for the direct benefit of any other person or entity other than Client. SHA shall have no obligation to support Contractors use of the Data. If upon the request of Contractor, SHA in its sole discretion elects to support Contractors use of the Data, SHA may charge Contractor its then standard rates for such support.
(b) Under no circumstances may Contractor resell, sublicense or otherwise distribute, disclose or permit access by any third party to any of the Data. The Data shall be delivered by SHA to Contractor, or by Client to Contractor, as applicable, only in de-identified format in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations (HIPAA). Contractor represents and warrants that it shall not attempt, directly or indirectly, to re-identify any Data to identify a patient, pharmacy or a hospital provider. SHA may suspend delivery of any Data immediately upon notice from Contractor or Client, or in the event that SHA has good faith reason to reasonably believe, that identifiable data would be or is included in any Data. Contractor shall ensure that the Data will not be used by or on behalf of Contractor in any way to exhibit, reference, access or generate any patient, pharmacy or hospital level data. Contractor represents and warrants that it will not attempt to link, on an individual basis, any other information to the Data; and it maintains, and will continue to maintain, appropriate access controls to physically, technically, and administratively separate any such information from the Data, and from any products produced using all or any part of the Data.
2. | Confidentiality. Contractor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure any employee of Contractor receiving any Data is apprised of and appreciates the confidential and proprietary nature of the Data, and shall require each such employee to refrain from disclosing or discussing the Data with anyone other than the employees of Contractor, Client or SHA. Contractors employees shall only receive those portions of the Data necessary to fulfill Contractors obligations to Client as described herein. All copies of any of the Data, including any data derived therefrom, shall include SHAs confidentiality notice and any other copyright notice or other proprietary notice, if any, appearing on the copy of the Data provided by SHA. In addition, any documents or materials prepared by Contractor or Contractors employees, agents or representatives which contain information derived from any of the Data, shall be conspicuously marked with confidential and/or proprietary notices substantially similar to those notices contained in the original deliverable received from SHA. No part of the Data shall be: (a) published by Contractor, (b) quoted, made or reproduced by Contractor for advertising, promotional or public relations purposes, (c) reproduced or placed in any data retrieval systems by Contractor, except as expressly provided herein; or (d) used in any legal proceedings, except where the production of any such Data or information is compelled under process or request by a court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction, in which event Contractor shall promptly give notice of such process, adhere to SHAs policies governing the use of SHA data in litigation, and cooperate with SHA in obtaining a protective order or other mechanism for the protection of any such Data. |
3. | Term and Termination. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall terminate at the earlier of: (a) the termination of the License Agreement, however occurring; (b) the termination of Contractors services to Client relating to the use of the Data; or (c) thirty (30) days after written notice by Client or SHA to the other two parties indicating Clients or SHAs intention to terminate this Agreement. Prior to termination, Contractor shall destroy or return to Client all Data in Contractors control or possession, and an authorized representative of Contractor shall certify in writing to SHA, with a copy to Client, that Contractor has destroyed or returned to Client all Data in its possession or control. |
4. | No Warranty. ANY DATA PROVIDED TO Contractor IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT IS PROVIDED TO Contractor AS-IS AND SHA MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, TO Contractor IN CONNECTION WITH THE DATA, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. |
5. | Limitation of Liability. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that SHA shall have no liability to Contractor under this Agreement, including but not limited to, any liability arising from the inaccuracy or incompleteness of the Data. In no event shall SHA be liable to Contractor under this Agreement for any incidental or consequential damages, including but not limited to, lost business, lost profits or third party claims, whether foreseeable or not, even if SHA has been advised of the possibility of such damages. The parties acknowledge and agree that a breach by Contractor of the provisions of this Agreement above will cause SHA and/or its affiliates irreparable injury and damage which may not be compensable by money damages, and, therefore, Contractor agrees that SHA and/or its affiliates shall be entitled to injunctive or other relief against Contractor to prevent such a breach by Contractor and to secure enforcement of the terms of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedies which may be available. Without limiting the availability to SHA of any other rights or remedies, if Contractor breaches any of the terms of this Agreement, SHA reserve the right to immediately terminate this Agreement upon notice to Client and Contractor. |
6. | Inspection Rights. SHA may upon reasonable notice to Contractor send a representative to Contractors place of business to verify compliance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, that SHA shall keep any information learned by SHA in the course of such inspection confidential and shall not use such information for any purpose except to confirm compliance with this Agreement and not disclose such information to any third party. Such verification shall be performed during the normal business hours of Contractor upon no less than five business days prior written notice to Client and Contractor. |
7. | Indemnification. Contractor agrees to indemnify SHA and hold SHA harmless for any and all third party claims, damages, costs, demands, or other liabilities (each, a Claim) arising from or relating to any breach of this Agreement by Contractor, including reasonable attorneys fees. SHA shall promptly notify Client and Contractor of each such Claim at the time each Claim becomes known to SHA. |
8. | Notices. All notices, demands or other communications required hereunder shall be given or made in writing and shall be delivered personally or sent prepaid (i) by certified or registered first class mail with return receipt requested or (ii) by a nationally-recognized common carriers overnight courier service, addressed to the receiving party at the address first written above or such other address as the receiving party may advise in writing to use hereunder. |
9. | Miscellaneous. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes prior proposals, agreements and representations related to the subject matter of this Agreement, whether written or oral, except for the License Agreement. No modifications, amendments or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the parties unless made in writing and duly executed by authorized representatives of Contractor, Client and SHA. Contractor may not assign, transfer or sublicense any portion of this Agreement or the Data provided hereunder without the express written consent of Client and SHA. Any attempt to assign, transfer or sublicense by Contractor in violation of this Section 9 shall be void. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same document. The headings of the paragraphs hereof are used for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of the content thereof. This Agreement and the relationship of the parties in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement shall be governed by and determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding its conflicts of laws principles. THE PARTIES WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIM, ACTION OR SUIT ASSERTED, BROUGHT OR ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. The failure to enforce at any time the provisions of this Agreement or to require at any time performance by the other parties of any of the provisions hereof shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provisions or to affect either the validity of this Agreement (or any part hereof), or the right of any of the parties thereafter to enforce each and every provision in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any judgment of a tribunal of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected by such judgment, and the Agreement shall be carried out as nearly as possible according to its original terms and intent. However, if the original intent of the parties cannot be preserved, this Agreement shall terminate upon the effective date of such judgment. |
