3.7 Second Source Manufacturer
     3.7.1 BI Austria acknowledges that it is critical that InterMune be ensured continuity of supply of PRODUCT for use in clinical trials and market supply. BI Austria shall ensure continuity of supply of PRODUCT for use in clinical trials and market supply. Nevertheless, due to the potentially growing market demand of PRODUCT, BI Austria’s ability to manufacture and supply PRODUCT shall be carefully observed. Should at any time BI Austria have any indication that continuity of supply can not be ensured, BI Austria shall immediately inform InterMune thereof in writing. In this event the matter would be immediately forwarded to the STEERING COMMITTEE to discuss second source manufacture of PRODUCT reasonably and in good faith.
     3.7.2 In the event the STEERING COMMITTEE decides that it is appropriate for InterMune to establish a second source manufacturer, InterMune agrees to provide the first opportunity to qualify as a second source manufacturer for PRODUCT to a BI Austria AFFILIATE. If such an AFFILIATE is – as foreseeable — unable to supply InterMune’s PRODUCT requirements then InterMune shall be free to choose an alternate supplier. In this case BI Austria shall assist InterMune in transferring the MANUFACTURING PROCESS to a third party supplier by providing reasonable technical assistance and documentation as necessary for a transfer to a party well skilled in the manufacture of such biotech products at InterMune’s cost.
     3.7.3 In addition, the parties, through the STEERING COMMITTEE shall work together in good faith to develop a risk mitigation plan to minimize any risk of interruption in the supply of PRODUCT for use in clinical trials and market supply, which plan may include, among other things, production of excess PRODUCT or materials relating thereto (e.g., BBS) that can be used as a buffer and/or the off-site storage of certain PRODUCT or materials relating thereto.

Upon BI Austria’s receipt of such notice and failure to cure such MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH within the timetable and activity plan agreed upon the Parties to cure such MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH, InterMune shall have the right to purchase from a second source manufacturer, to be agreed upon within the STEERING COMMITTEE in accordance with Section 3.7, such amounts of PRODUCT as necessary to offset BI Austria’s shortfall in fulfilling InterMune’s purchase orders for such PRODUCT (or the anticipated shortfall, in the event of repeated [*] material violation against cGMP).
     In the event, that
     (i) BI Austria AFFILIATE can not qualify as a second source manufacturer for PRODUCT or
     (ii) in the event such a BI Austria AFFILIATE is – as foreseeable — unable to supply InterMune’s PRODUCT requirements and
     (iii) provided that PRODUCT supply as requested by InterMune by a different second source manufacturer, a company experienced in manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals derived from [*], and selected by InterMune could demonstrably take place earlier than a MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH by BI Austria could be remedied, BI Austria shall assist InterMune as requested in transferring the MANUFACTURING PROCESS to such a second source supplier, to be selected by InterMune by providing reasonable technical assistance and documentation relating to the manufacture, testing and supply of BBS and the PRODUCT as necessary at BI Austria’s cost. Such second source manufacturer would bear responsibility for putting the MANUFACTURING PROCESS in place. The total financial commitment for reasonable technical assistance shall not exceed the [*] for the period of [*].
     3.8.2 In the event that BI Austria reasonably anticipates that there is a substantial likelihood that a MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH will occur, BI Austria shall promptly notify InterMune in writing thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, the Parties shall promptly confer to discuss the circumstances and magnitude of such potential MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH, and to determine in good faith whether there are any reasonable steps that BI Austria could take to avoid such MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH. If InterMune is not reasonably satisfied that BI Austria will be able to avoid such MATERIAL SUPPLY BREACH, then InterMune shall forward this issue to the STEERING COMMITTEE to determine whether it is necessary or desirable to establish a second source manufacturer in accordance with Section 3.7.

The INDEMNITEE shall permit the INDEMNITOR at its discretion to settle any such action, claim or other matter, and the INDEMNITEE agrees to the complete control of such defense or settlement by the INDEMNITOR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the INDEMNITOR shall not enter into any settlement that would adversely affect the INDEMNITEE’s rights hereunder, or impose any obligations on the INDEMNITEE in addition to those set forth herein in order for it to exercise such rights, without INDEMNITEE’s prior

     13.2.4 Either Party may terminate this AGREEMENT upon [*] months written notice in the event that the other Party assigns this AGREEMENT pursuant to Section 14.3.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of termination by InterMune under Section 13.2.3, Section 13.2.3 shall govern rather than this Section 13.3.1.
     13.3.2 In the event of any termination or expiration of this AGREEMENT, at the request of InterMune, BI Austria shall either (i) destroy all material, including but not limited to samples

     13.3.3 BI Austria shall promptly return all of InterMune’s CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION (as well as all CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION of InterMune provided to BI Austria under the ORIGINAL SUPPLY AGREEMENT) to InterMune, except for a single copy and/or sample of each item for documentation purposes only.

     13.3.4 InterMune shall promptly return all of BI Austria’s CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION (as well as all CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION of BI Austria provided to InterMune under the ORIGINAL SUPPLY AGREEMENT) to BI Austria, except for a single copy and/or sample for documentation purposes only.
     13.3.5 The following provisions shall survive termination of this AGREEMENT: Sections 3.8.1, 5.2.3, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13.2.3, 13.2.5, 13.3 and 14. Termination of this AGREEMENT shall not relieve either Party of any liability which accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination, nor preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this AGREEMENT, nor prejudice either Party’s right to obtain performance of any obligation.
14. Miscellaneous
14.1 Performance by Affiliates
     The Parties recognize that each Party may perform some or all of its obligations under this AGREEMENT through one or more of its AFFILIATES, provided, however, that each Party shall remain responsible for such performance by its AFFILIATES and shall cause its AFFILIATES to comply with the provisions of this AGREEMENT in connection with such performance.

A Party affected by a FORCE MAJEURE EVENT shall give notice of such to the other Party as soon as is reasonably possible, and shall resume performance hereunder as soon as is reasonably possible.

14.3 Assignment
     14.3.1 Except as expressly provided for herein neither this AGREEMENT nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by either Party except to an AFFILIATE of either one of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Party which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

     14.3.3 In the event that either Party assigns this AGREEMENT as permitted under this Section, the other Party shall have the right to terminate this AGREEMENT upon [*] months written notice.

unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days of initiating such negotiations, the controversy or claim will be referred to binding arbitration as set forth in Section 14.5.2.
     14.5.2 Any controversy or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with any provision of this AGREEMENT, or the rights or obligations of the Parties hereunder, and not resolved by executive mediation in accordance with Section 14.5.1 hereof, shall be referred to and finally settled by binding arbitration, in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce in force on the date the demand for arbitration is filed, which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause.

In the event of arbitration, the costs of the arbitration shall be fixed in accordance with Article 31 of the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce and the final award will have the Parties bearing the costs of arbitration in proportion to the outcome of the arbitration. If applicable under the applicable law, the Parties will submit a proposed discovery schedule to the arbitrator(s) at the pre-hearing conference. The scope and duration of discovery shall be reasonably determined by the arbitrators.
     14.5.3 This AGREEMENT shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the place of domicile of the defendant party.

14.8 Severability
     If any of the provisions of this AGREEMENT or parts thereof should be or become invalid, the remaining provisions will not be affected.
