if the Buyer assigns its rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than its rights and obligations under this Clause 23) to its Affiliate in accordance with Clause 21(a)

 

(a)

guarantees to the Seller the full, prompt and complete performance by such Affiliate of all its obligations under this Agreement; and

 

(b)

undertakes to the Seller that whenever such Affiliate does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with this Agreement, that it shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it were the principal obligor.

 

23.1.2

in respect of all obligations of the Preferred Guarantor under the Transitional Services Agreement:

 

(a)

guarantees to the Seller the full, prompt and complete performance by the Preferred Guarantor of all its obligations under the Transitional Services Agreement; and

 

(b)

undertakes to the Seller that whenever the Preferred Guarantor does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with this Agreement, that it shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it were the principal obligor.

 

23.2

The guarantees contained in this Clause ‎23 are continuing guarantees and shall remain in force until all the obligations of such Affiliate under this Agreement or the Transitional Services Agreement (as applicable) have been fully performed and all sums payable by such Affiliate have been fully paid, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part. Each guarantee is independent of every other security which the Seller may at any time hold for the obligations of such Affiliate under this Agreement or the Transitional Services Agreement.

 

23.3

The obligations of the Buyer under this Clause 23 shall not be affected by any of the circumstances listed below which, but for this provision, might operate to reduce, release or otherwise exonerate the Buyer from its obligations or affect such obligations, whether or not known to the Buyer or to the Seller:

 

23.3.1

any variation of this Agreement or the Transitional Services Agreement or any time, indulgence, waiver or consent at any time given to such Affiliate or any other person;

 

23.3.2

any legal limitation, disability, incapacity or other circumstance relating to such Affiliate or any other person; or

 

23.3.3

any amendment, novation, supplement or extension of this Agreement or the Transitional Services Agreement; or

 

 

23.3.4

any irregularity, unenforceability or invalidity of any obligations of such Affiliate under this Agreement or the Transitional Services Agreement, or the dissolution, amalgamation, reconstruction or insolvency of such Affiliate.

 

23.4

These guarantees may be enforced by the Seller without the Seller first taking any steps or proceedings against such Affiliate.

 

23.5

Any settlement or discharge between the Buyer and the Seller shall be conditional upon no security or payment to the Seller by such Affiliate or the Buyer, or any other person on behalf of either of them, being avoided or reduced pursuant to any laws applicable to insolvency. If any security or payment is so avoided or reduced, such Affiliate shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of the security or payment from the Buyer as if the settlement or discharge had not occurred.

 

23.6

The Buyer agrees that until the obligations of such Affiliate under this Agreement or the Transitional Services Agreement (as applicable) have been fully and completely performed and all sums payable by such Affiliate to the Seller under or pursuant to this Agreement or the Transitional Services Agreement (as applicable) have been paid, it shall not exercise any rights which it might have by reason of the performance of its obligations under these guarantees:

 

23.6.1

to be indemnified by such Affiliate;

 

23.6.2

to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of such Affiliate’s obligations under this Agreement or the Transitional Services Agreement (as applicable);

 

23.6.3

to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Seller under this Agreement or the Transitional Services Agreement or any other security taken by the Seller pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement or the Transitional Services Agreement; or

 

23.6.4

to prove or vote as a creditor of such Affiliate or its estate in competition with the Seller.

 

24.

Further assurance

 

The Parties shall, and shall use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that any necessary third party will, execute all documents and do all acts and things as any Party reasonably requires to transfer the Assets in respect of the Business to the Buyer and to give the other the full benefit of this Agreement.

 

25.

Costs

 

Except where this Agreement or another Transaction Document provides otherwise, each party must pay its own costs incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and implementation of each Transaction Document.

 

26.

Interest on late payment

 

If a party fails to pay an amount required to be paid under this Agreement when it is due (a “Due Amount”), that party must pay interest on the Due Amount from and including the due date for payment up to and including the date of actual payment at the rate per year of 4% above the base lending rate from time to time of Barclays Bank plc. This rate applies to any period after a judgment as well as before a judgment. Interest accrues on a daily basis.

 

 

27.

Variation

 

A variation of this Agreement is valid only if it is in writing and signed by a Party or signed on its behalf by its authorised representative.

 

28.

Waiver

 

Failure to exercise, or a delay in exercising, a right or remedy provided by this Agreement or by law does not constitute a waiver of the right or remedy or a waiver of other rights or remedies. No single or partial exercise of a right or remedy provided by this Agreement or by law prevents the further exercise of the right or remedy or the exercise of another right or remedy. A waiver of a breach of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of a subsequent or prior breach of this Agreement.

 

29.

Rights and remedies are cumulative

 

The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and do not exclude any rights and remedies provided by law.

 

30.

Counterparts

 

This Agreement may be entered into in any number of counterparts and any party may enter into this Agreement by executing any counterpart. A counterpart constitutes an original of this Agreement and all executed counterparts together have the same effect as if each party had executed the same document.

 

31.

Effect of Completion

 

Each obligation under this Agreement which has not been fully performed by Completion remains in force after Completion.

 

32.

Entire Agreement

 

32.1

Entire Agreement

 

The Confidentiality Agreement and the Transaction Documents together set out the entire agreement between the parties in respect of the Transactions and supersede any previous agreement or arrangement between the parties relating to the subject matter of the Transactions.

 

32.2

No Reliance on a Statement Outside the Transaction Documents

 

The Buyer agrees and acknowledges that it has not relied on or been induced to enter into a Transaction Document by a warranty, statement, representation or undertaking which is not expressly included in a Transaction Document.

 

32.3

No Remedy for a Statement Outside The Transaction Documents

 

32.3.1

The Buyer has no claim or remedy in respect of a warranty, statement, misrepresentation (whether negligent or innocent) or undertaking made to it by or on behalf of the Seller in connection with or relating to a Transaction which is not expressly included in a Transaction Document.

 

 

32.3.2

The only claim or remedy that is available to the Buyer in respect of a warranty, statement, misrepresentation (whether negligent or innocent) or undertaking made to it by or on behalf of the Seller is a claim for damages for breach of this Agreement and not termination, rescission, damages in tort, damages under statute or any other remedy.

 

32.4

Fraud

 

Nothing in this Clause ‎32 limits or excludes liability arising as a result of fraud, willful concealment or willful misconduct.

 

33.

Invalidity

 

If a provision of this Agreement is found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, then to the extent it is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be given no effect and will be treated as though it were not included in this Agreement, but the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be affected.

 

34.

Debarment

 

In the performance of any of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement, neither party shall knowingly utilise the services of any employee or other person who is debarred by the US Food and Drug Administration, any other Health Authority or any other Applicable Laws or is otherwise prohibited by any Government Authority from participating in any government health program.

 

35.

Anti-Corruption Undertaking

 

Each party shall comply with, and will not cause itself or its Affiliates, associates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, representatives or agents worldwide to be in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”) or the UK Bribery Act 2010. Without limiting the foregoing, each party will not, directly or indirectly, pay any money to, or offer or give anything of value to, any “Government Official” as that term is used in the FCPA, in order to obtain or retain business or to secure any commercial or financial advantage for such Party or any of its Affiliates. Each party undertakes not to bribe Government Officials or any private companies or individuals.

 

For purposes of this Clause ‎35, “bribes” shall have the following definition: offering, promising, or giving a financial or other advantage to another person where it is intended to bring about the improper performance of a relevant function or activity, or to reward such improper performance; acceptance of the advantage offered, promised or given in itself constitutes improper performance of a relevant function or activity; and “improper performance” means a breach of expectations that a person will act in good faith, impartially, or in accordance with a position of trust.

 

36.

Third party rights

 

36.1

Exclusion of Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, Subject to Exceptions

 

Except for the Affiliates of a party (which such Affiliates shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999), any person who is not a party to this Agreement may not enforce or otherwise have the benefit of any provision of this Agreement.

 

 

36.2

Termination and Variation Without Third Party Permission

 

This Agreement may be rescinded or terminated and a term may be amended or waived without the permission of the Affiliates of either party even if that takes away a right which such Affiliate would otherwise have.

 

36.3

Assignment of Rights under Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999

 

No Affiliate of a party may, without the prior permission of the Buyer and the Seller, assign, charge or otherwise dispose of any of its rights under this Agreement or grant or create any third party interest in its rights under this Agreement (including holding an interest on trust for another).

This Agreement, the jurisdiction clause contained in it and all non-contractual obligations arising in any way whatsoever out of or in connection with this Agreement are governed by, construed and take effect in accordance with English law.

 

37.2

Escalation

 

Should any dispute arise out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination (a “Dispute”), the Parties shall escalate the discussion of such Dispute to their respective senior management teams, and shall meet (physically or via videoconference) in a good faith effort to resolve such Dispute amicably.

 

37.3

Arbitration

 

Should the Parties fail to resolve amicably any Dispute within 14 days after initiation of discussions (or such longer time as the Parties may agree), then such Dispute shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the LCIA Rules, which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause save for any waiver of any rights the Parties would otherwise have to any form of appeal or recourse to a court of law or other judicial authority, which rights are hereby expressly preserved. It is agreed that:

 

37.3.1

the tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators, appointed as follows:

(b)

if either of the Seller or the Buyer fails to nominate an arbitrator within 30 days of the nomination of the second arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be appointed at the written request of either party by the LCIA Court.

2.

If available, the Dossier shall be delivered electronically in the Common Technical Document (eCTD or particular NeeS as requested by each competent Health Authority) format suitable for electronic regulatory submissions and in an editable electronic format, or else in the format as available. With respect to the Product, the Seller shall keep copies of the Dossier and the Documentation until the transfer of the MA and the Orphan Drug Designation to the Buyer is effective and as long as it may reasonably require in order to fulfil its legal obligations as a former holder of the MA and the Orphan Drug Designation.

 

3.

Transfer of existing MAs (MA granted) and Orphan Drug Designation. With respect to each MA and the Orphan Drug Designation that is to be transferred to the Buyer in respect of the Business, the Buyer shall, with the support of the Seller, initiate the MA and the Orphan Drug Designation transfer with the relevant Health Authorities as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by the Buyer of the Dossier from the Seller and shall execute and deliver or submit to Governmental Authorities all necessary documents and take such further steps as may reasonably be required by the Buyer to ensure the orderly transfer. The Seller shall cooperate with the Buyer and provide all assistance which the Buyer reasonably requires to give effect to this paragraph 3 and in order to cause the Buyer and/or a Buyer Group Company to be appointed as holder of the MA and the Orphan Drug Designation. The Buyer shall ensure that it fulfills all requirements under Applicable Laws in order to receive the MA and the Orphan Drug Designation, to be the holder of MA and the Orphan Drug Designation and to be able to sell the Product under the MA (including holding any regulatory permits, in particular a regulatory license to wholesale products, if required) and Orphan Drug Designation, and will provide evidence in this regard to Health Authorities, if required. Upon effective transfer of the MA and the Orphan Drug Designation, the Buyer shall be entitled to market the Product under a trade mark of the Buyer’s choosing or under the international non-proprietary name.

 

4.

Upon Completion of the transfer of the relevant MA’s or on-going procedure and the Orphan Drug Designation in the name of the Buyer (or as it directs), the Buyer shall be solely responsible for MAs or on-going procedure or the Orphan Drug Designation and their maintenance, defence and renewal, as the case may be.

 

5.

The Buyer shall use best efforts to complete the transfer of MA and the Orphan Drug Designation to the Buyer, and the Seller shall cooperate with the Buyer to complete the transfer of the MA and the Orphan Drug Designation, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within the timelines as set forth per the Product. The Seller shall not be liable for any damages or costs caused by any delay to transfer the MA and the Orphan Drug Designation if such delay is caused by or can reasonably be attributed to the conduct of the Buyer. The Seller shall hold and maintain the MA and the Orphan Drug Designation for a period of up to twenty-four (24) months following the Completion Date. Thereafter, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Seller shall be entitled to withdraw the MA the Orphan Drug Designation. If the transfer of any MA or the Orphan Drug Designation in the name of the Buyer (or as it directs) is not achieved within such time period, the Buyer may submit a new application for such a marketing authorisation or Orphan Drug Designation.

 

 

6.

The Buyer shall bear the cost of the transfer of the registration to be paid by a Seller Group Company to the Health Authorities in connection with the MA and the Orphan Drug Designation as described herein, including any fees that the Seller pays on the Buyer’s behalf. The Seller shall invoice such aforementioned registration fees, cost and expenses to the Buyer. All regulatory costs that are to be charged to the Buyer in accordance with the terms hereof must be presented to the Buyer on stand-alone invoices.

 

7.

RECALLS

 

7.1

In relation to Products containing the Seller’s marks, name or logo released and/or commercialized before or after Completion, while the Seller was still the related MA Holder, the Seller may decide to initiate a recall for commercial reasons and in accordance with best industry practices and the Buyer shall cooperate in good faith in connection therewith.

 

7.2

In case of recall or withdrawal from the market ordered by a Health Authority after Completion for Products containing the Seller’s marks, name or logo and if the Seller did not chose to initiate and/or carry out the recall itself, the Buyer shall be assigned the responsibility to carry out such recall (on behalf of the Seller) in accordance with best industry practices and the Seller shall cooperate in all reasonable respects in connection therewith and make available for inspection all necessary information.

 

7.3

Cost Allocation of Recalls

 

(a)

To the extent that a recall is effected due to a regulatory change occurring after the Completion Date, and not due to any flaws in the Products or their packaging, then the Buyer will bear the full cost of the recall. If a recall is effected during the first year following the Completion Date due to flaws in the Products or their packaging and a Claim for breach of the Seller Warranties in respect of such flaw is not Resolved in favor of the Buyer, the Buyer will bear the cost of such recall. The Buyer will also bear the full cost of any recall occurring after the second anniversary of the Completion Date, regardless of the reason for such recall.

 

(b)

If a recall is effected during the first year following Completion, as a direct result of a flaw in the Products or their packaging that existed prior to the Completion Date, then the Seller will bear all reasonable costs of the recall. If a recall is effected during the first two years following the Completion Date, for any reason that constitutes a breach of the Seller Warranties, then on a Claim for breach of the Seller Warranties being Resolved in favor of the Buyer the Seller will bear all reasonable costs of such recall.

Immune Pharmaceuticals Regains Worldwide Rights for Ceplene^®

 

Cytovia to initiate commercialization activities in Europe and Latin America

 

NEW YORK, June 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Immune Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: IMNP) announced today that it repurchased from Meda, a Mylan NV company, assets relating to Ceplene®, including the right to commercialize Ceplene in Europe and to register and commercialize Ceplene in certain other countries. Immune sold certain Ceplene-related assets in 2012 to Meda AB, now part of Mylan. As a result of the recent acquisition, Immune will have the potential to register and commercialize Ceplene worldwide. Immune Pharmaceuticals Inc. intends, through its Immuno-Oncology subsidary, Cytovia Inc. to accelerate commercialization efforts for Ceplene in Europe, Asia and Latin America. In addition, Cytovia Inc. intends to pursue continued development of Ceplene towards regulatory approval in the United States.

 

“We are excited to gain back Ceplene’s European and Asian rights from Mylan and to transition Cytovia Inc., to a revenue-generating phase. This is an additional step following our announcement of a binding Letter of Intent with Pint Pharma to invest in Cytovia and to commercialize Ceplene in Latin America,” said Dr. Daniel Teper, CEO Cytovia Inc. “Proactive maintenance treatment for AML has been recognized as highly essential for relapse prevention, and we are pleased for the opportunity for Cytovia to potentially become a leader in the AML remission maintenance space.”

 

The assets acquired from Mylan include rights to marketing authorizations, trademarks, patents, and other intellectual property related to Ceplene and its use. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Immune Pharmaceuticals has agreed to pay Mylan a fixed price, which is payable in installments, as well as additional amounts contingent on the achievement of certain milestones.

 

The market for AML therapeutics is steadily growing due to an aging population and medical need that has been unmet due to the complexity of AML. Unfortunately, most patients with AML who are able to achieve complete remission will eventually relapse, and survival following such a relapse is poor: 33% in younger patients but only 15-20% in patients over 60 years of age. In the therapeutic management of patients with AML, remission maintenance therapy is important for the prevention of a relapse and the prolongation of disease-free survival.

 

 

About Ceplene® 

 

Ceplene® (histamine dihydrochloride) is administered in conjunction with low dose interleukin-2 (IL-2), for maintenance of first remission in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). It has been shown in clinical studies to prevent leukemic relapses in AML patients in first remission and prolong leukemia-free survival while maintaining good quality of life during treatment.  Ceplene acts by enhancing the immunostimulatory effect of IL-2 and countering ROS-induced dysfunction and apoptosis of T and NK cells, thereby inducing immune-mediated killing of leukemic cells, providing a strong pharmacological rationale for this combination therapy. A recent Phase IV study presented at the meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research in 2016 confirmed the safety and efficacy of Ceplene demonstrated in the international study that supported European approval.

 

About Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) 

 

AML patients receive intensive induction treatment with chemotherapeutic drugs at diagnosis, and typically become free of detectable leukemia, achieving "complete remission." However, within 1-2 years the majority (75-80%) of adult patients will experience a relapse of leukemia, of which survival prognosis is 33% in younger patients but only 15-20% in patients over 60 years of age. According to the American Cancer Society, there will be approximately 21380 new cases of AML and 10590 deaths from AML in the US in 2017, The prognosis following first remission is poor and there are no other effective remission therapies currently available, AML represents an orphan indication with particularly high unmet need.
