3.

MANUFACTURE AND SUPPLY OF PRODUCT

 

3.1             Batches. Commencing upon completion of all of (i) Milestones 1 through 6, and

(ii)   the first to occur of Milestone 7 or Milestone 11, then during the Term, and subject in each case to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement:

 

(a)                                             INIS shall at all times during the Term ensure that it has sufficient manufacturing capacity available at the Dedicated Facility to Manufacture and supply to Progenics all the Products ordered by Progenics from time to time, in a minimum amount of at least [**] (the “Minimum Amount”), subject to adjustment for semiannual shutdown periods pursuant to Section 3.1(e). Progenics shall submit Purchase Orders to INIS for the Minimum Amount of Batches per calendar month (taking into account Batches manufactured at [**] in the Dedicated Facility), subject to adjustment for semiannual shutdown periods pursuant to Section 3.1(e). Purchase orders shall be prepared on a mutually acceptable purchase order form (each a “Purchase Order”) for each order for Product placed by Progenics under this Agreement. Each Purchase Order shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event that the Minimum Amount requirement for Purchase Orders set forth in this Section 3.1(a) is not met for any calendar month due to Progenics cancelling or failing to deliver sufficient Purchase Orders, INIS shall reserve the right to invoice Progenics on a calendar monthly basis the difference in total Supply Price between the total Supply Price for the actual Batches ordered for such month and the total Supply Price for the number of Batches in the Minimum Amount for such month. In the event that any such difference in Supply Price for a Batch shortfall below the Minimum Amount for any month is invoiced by INIS and paid for by Progenics, Progenics shall be entitled to a credit for such payment against future excess Batch orders as provided in Section 7.2(e). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 3.1 or otherwise in this Agreement shall require Progenics to purchase or pay for any failed Batch or any Non-conforming Product.

 

(b)                                            Notwithstanding the Minimum Amount, from time to time, at its option, Progenics may request that INIS Manufacture and supply more than the Minimum Amount per calendar month, up to the maximum capacity of the Dedicated Facility.

 

(c)                               If for any reason there are no patient ([**]) Batches of a Product ordered during a calendar month or if a previously ordered Batch of a Product is cancelled, INIS will manufacture a Batch of such Product to maintain site qualification. This material will be available for patient ([**]) use if needed and will be billed for as per the terms of this Agreement.

 

(d)                                            No later than the first day of each calendar quarter, Progenics shall provide to INIS a good faith projection or estimate of Progenics’ requirements for Products during each month of such quarter (the “Forecast”), which approximates, as nearly as possible, based on information available at the time to Progenics, the quantity of Product that Progenics may order for each such month, for the period beginning with the first day of such calendar quarter. Forecasts are for information purposes only and do not create any binding obligations on behalf of either Party.

 

(e)                                              There will be [**] shutdowns of each Suite in the Dedicated Facility of two (2) weeks per Suite for maintenance to be scheduled by mutual agreement of the Parties; provided that only one (1) Suite may be shut down for such maintenance at any one time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Progenics may not unreasonably withhold its agreement to a maintenance period proposed by INIS should INIS believe it necessary to complete within a recommended period to ensure its commitments under this

 

 

Agreement are achievable; provided that [**] shall not be shut down for such maintenance at the same time. Minimum calendar month Batch charges shall not apply during shutdown periods if no Suite remains available for supply of Product; and if no other Suite is then available for supply of Product, the Minimum Amount applicable for any calendar month in which a shutdown occurs shall be pro rated accordingly, rounded down to the lower Batch amount (i.e., there would be no partial Batch production or ordering requirement).

 

3.2             Certain Quality and Other Standards. INIS shall Manufacture and supply all quantities of Product ordered by Progenics in accordance with this Agreement (a) in a fully packaged and labeled form, with all inserts and warnings and other Labeling required in accordance with this Agreement, and (b) in accordance with Laws, Regulatory Standards, the Specifications, applicable cGMPs and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the Quality Agreement).

3.3             Competitive Activities. INIS shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates do not, directly or indirectly, develop for itself or a Third Party or contract manufacture for a Third Party a radiopharmaceutical (as defined below) to treat (1) MIBG-avid tumors or (2) PSMA-avid prostate cancer. A radiopharmaceutical as defined for purposes of this Section 3.3 is any chemical entity (either small molecule or biologics) bearing any kind of radioisotope (alpha, beta or gamma emitter or any combination of thereof) designed to image or treat certain diseases.

 

3.4             Non-Exclusive Purchases. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Progenics from entering into other Manufacturing and supply arrangements with Third Parties for Products. However, none of the third-party agreements shall reduce Progenics obligation to order the minimum calendar monthly Batch requirements from INIS under this Agreement.

 

3.5             Training. INIS shall provide appropriate training to Project Workers and other INIS support personnel to Manufacture Products.

 

3.6             Project Workers. All Project Workers identified on Exhibit B hereto as full time shall be dedicated full time to the Startup Activities and Manufacture and supply of Products and performance of INIS’ other obligations hereunder. Although none of the Project Workers shall be employees or independent contractors of Progenics, (a) Progenics shall have the right to approve the proposed assignment by INIS of each Project Worker to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) if at any time Progenics becomes reasonably dissatisfied with the performance, qualifications or conduct of a Project Worker, Progenics shall have the right to direct INIS to remove such Project Worker from any involvement with the Startup Activities and Manufacture and supply arrangements hereunder, and INIS shall comply promptly with such request. If a full time Project Worker identified on Exhibit B hereto leaves the employ of INIS, INIS shall, subject to the approval of Progenics, promptly replace such Project Worker. INIS shall not reassign any such full time Project Worker away from the Startup Activities and/or Manufacture and supply of Products and performance of INIS’ other obligations hereunder, even if at any given time, such Project Worker is idle, without the express prior written consent of Progenics, in its sole discretion. Progenics will not be liable for any compensation or employee benefits due to any Project Worker or any other costs or expenses relating to any Project Worker, all of which shall be borne by INIS.

 

3.7             Support Staff. INIS shall provide such part time additional support staff as required to support the startup of the Dedicated Facility, routine Batch production operations, and performance of maintenance and inspections. The selection of INIS support staff shall be at the sole discretion of INIS and are expected to include the Quality Assurance Manager, Production Manager, Radiological Control Technicians, and Administrative staff, however, additional disciplines may be utilized if required by INIS. Progenics will not be liable for any compensation or employee benefits due to any such support staff or any other costs or expenses relating to any such support staff, all of which shall be borne by INIS.

  

3.8             Qualified Personnel. INIS shall engage and employ only professionally qualified Project Workers and other Support Staff to perform INIS’ obligations under this Agreement. INIS shall not in performance under this Agreement use the services of any person debarred or suspended under the Act (as more specifically set forth in Section 9.1(e)). INIS does not as of the Effective Date have, and covenants that it will not during the Term of this Agreement hire, as an officer or an employee, any person who has been convicted of a felony under the laws of the United States for conduct relating to the regulation of any product under the Act.

IF INIS supplies the I131 required to Manufacture a Batch of Product Progenics shall pay [**]. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the failure of INIS to timely deliver Products to Progenics to the extent a result of Progenics failure to timely deliver the Materials specified in the foregoing sentence shall not constitute a breach by INIS under this Agreement.

 

4.2                                           Subcontracting. INIS may not subcontract or otherwise delegate any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Progenics, in its sole discretion. Prior to use of any permitted Subcontractor, INIS shall ensure that (a) such Subcontractor has all Manufacturing Authorizations required for the performance of such activities, and (b) to the extent required by applicable Law, a supplement to such Manufacturing Authorizations permitting such Subcontractor’s performance of the applicable Manufacturing activities in respect of the Product in such Subcontractor’s facilit(ies) has been approved by the FDA and any other applicable Regulatory Authority. Notwithstanding any subcontracting pursuant to this Section 4.2, INIS shall remain responsible for ensuring that the Products are Manufactured in accordance with this Agreement, including with respect to conformity to applicable Law and the relevant Specifications, and any action, omission, negligence, breach or other action by any Subcontractor shall be deemed that of INIS for the purposes of this Agreement and the Quality Agreement.

Handling of costs for any such additional testing shall be agreed; provided that in no event shall Progenics be obligated to pay for any costs to the extent additional testing is required or proposed as the result of or related to any deviation or failure caused in whole or in part by INIS or any of its Subcontractors.

 

5.2                                           Product Testing. INIS shall test the Products supplied pursuant to this Agreement according

 

 

to the applicable methods of analysis set forth in the Specifications and Quality Agreement. All tests [**] must be completed prior to delivery of such Products by INIS to Progenics. Due to the time required for analysis, [**] results are received post-delivery and post-dosing. If any quantity of Product is found not to be in compliance with the Specifications, INIS shall, at its own expense, notify Progenics in writing of any such non-compliance and handle, store, transport, treat and dispose of such quantity of such Product, all in accordance with all applicable Laws (including but not limited to Laws pertaining to the environment and employee health and safety). For the avoidance of doubt, failure of any quantity of such Product to comply with Specifications or to pass tests as set forth in the Quality Agreement shall not excuse INIS from its supply obligations under this Agreement.

 

5.3

Acceptance and Rejection.

 

(a)                     Delivery. INIS shall deliver to Progenics all of the Products in accordance with Section 6 hereof, and shall include a bill of materials describing the contents of such shipment, a certificate of analysis, and any other documents and materials related to the Products contained in such shipment that are required pursuant to the Quality Agreement.

 

(b)

Non-conforming Product.

 

(i)                                                 Except as expressly set forth herein to the contrary, Progenics may (before or after any payment therefor) reject all or any portion of a shipment of Product that is found to contain Non-conforming Product. Progenics shall give written notice to INIS, specifying the grounds for such rejection and providing a sample of such allegedly Non- conforming Product. Once declared to be Non-conforming Product in accordance with this Section 5.3(b), subject to final determination of the cGMP expert as set forth in subsection (iii) below, such Product shall be deemed to be the property of INIS (including all risk of loss), and Progenics shall not be obligated to make any payment therefor.

 

(ii)                                              As promptly as practicable, but in any case within no more than thirty (30) days, after receipt of any shipment of Product, Progenics shall, or shall cause its agent to, assess the quantity and visually inspect the quality of such Product to determine conformity of the shipment of Product with the applicable Purchase Order and identify any readily observable damage or defects and promptly notify INIS of any shortage or any such readily observable defect. If Progenics elects to undertake testing of any shipment of Product hereunder for conformity to the applicable Specifications, then such testing shall be undertaken within five (5) days, and Progenics shall notify INIS of the results thereof in writing promptly upon completion of such testing. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) Progenics may reject Product as Non-conforming Product on the basis of any latent defect (which, in the case that Progenics undertakes testing of the Product, as described above, is not readily discoverable through such testing) by written notice to INIS within thirty (30) days from the date such defect was actually discovered, and (ii) INIS’ warranties with respect to the Product and otherwise hereunder shall remain in effect notwithstanding any failure by Progenics to reject Product supplied hereunder. Any such notice shall describe in reasonable detail the defect or non-conformity and shall include samples of the Product being rejected and, if available, copies of written reports relating to tests, studies or investigations performed by or on behalf of Progenics on the Product being rejected.

 

(iii)                                           If INIS in good faith disputes Progenics’ rejection of all or part of any shipment of Product, and such dispute is not resolved by mutual agreement of the Parties within thirty (30) days of Progenics’ notice of rejection, such dispute shall be referred to an independent, cGMP expert organization of recognized repute within the pharmaceutical industry reasonably acceptable to, and appointed by, both INIS and Progenics, for final assessment of product quality and acceptability. Such organization shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. The results of such assessment shall be binding on Progenics and INIS and cannot be the subject of any appeal.

TERM AND TERMINATION

 

11.1                            Term. This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Section 11 or extended by written agreement of both Parties, shall continue in effect for a period of four (4) years and shall automatically renew for successive two (2) year periods unless either Party gives written notice of non-renewal at least six (6) months prior to the end of the term then in effect (the “Term”).

 

11.2

Termination by Progenics.

 

(a)          Without limiting Progenics’ rights under Section 11.3, Progenics may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to INIS in the event that the construction and commissioning of the Dedicated Facility (including achievement of all Azedra® Milestones 1 through 6 under INIS's control) have not been completed by December 31, 2019.

 

(b)           Progenics may terminate this Agreement with respect to any Product in the event that (i) Progenics determines that market or other conditions are such that the development or commercialization of such Product is economically unviable or Progenics has realized a negative margin with respect to such Product or (ii) such Product is withdrawn from the market, in the case of an FDA approved product, or testing of such Product is terminated, in the case of an unapproved drug. Progenics shall provide written notification to INIS of Progenics’ intent to terminate this Agreement with respect to a Product pursuant to this Section 11.2(b) and the termination date with respect to such Product shall be effective one hundred twenty (120) days after such notification, or such later date that Progenics may elect in its sole option.

 

11.3                            Termination for Breach. Either Party may terminate this Agreement in the event of a material breach by the other Party, provided the breaching Party fails to cure such breach within sixty (60) days (or thirty (30) days with respect to a failure by a Party to pay any amounts hereunder when due other than with respect to amounts which such Party, in good faith, disputes are due to the other Party) after receipt of written notice from the non-breaching Party describing the nature of the breach.

 

 

11.4

Insolvency, etc.

 

(a)           This Agreement may, at the terminating Party’s option, be terminated by either Party if the other Party becomes insolvent, files or has filed against it a petition under any insolvency law of any jurisdiction (and in the case the petition is filed against it, the petition is dismissed within sixty (60) days)), makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver, trustee or similar agent is appointed with respect to any property or business of the other Party.

 

(b)          All rights and licenses granted by INIS under or pursuant to this Agreement are licenses of rights to "intellectual property" as defined in Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code (“Title 11”). INIS agrees that Progenics, as licensee of such rights under this Agreement shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under Title 11. INIS agrees to create and maintain current copies or, if not amenable to copying, detailed descriptions or other appropriate embodiments, to the extent feasible, of all such intellectual property. If a case is commenced by or against INIS under Title 11, INIS (in any capacity, including debtor-in• possession) and its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, a Title 11 trustee) shall: 

 

request:

(i)               as Progenics may elect in a written request, immediately upon such

 

(A)            perform all of the obligations provided in this Agreement to be performed by INIS including, where applicable and without limitation, providing to Progenics portions of such intellectual property (including embodiments thereof) held by INIS and such successors and assigns or otherwise available to them; and/or

 

(B)            provide to Progenics all such intellectual property (including all embodiments thereof to the extent provided by applicable non-bankruptcy law and this Agreement) held by INIS and such successors and assigns or otherwise available to them; and

 

(ii)             not interfere with the rights of Progenics under this Agreement, or any agreement supplemental hereto, to such intellectual property (including such embodiments), including any right to obtain such intellectual property (or such embodiments) from another entity, to the extent provided in Section 365(n) of Title 11.

 

(c)            Rights to Intellectual Property. If (i) a Title 11 case is commenced by or against INIS, (ii) this Agreement is rejected as provided in Title 11, and (iii) Progenics elects to retain its rights under this Agreement as provided in Title 11, then INIS (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, a

 

Title 11 trustee) shall provide to Progenics all such intellectual property (including all embodiments thereof) held by INIS and such successors and assigns, or otherwise available to them, immediately upon Progenics’ written request. Whenever INIS or any of its successors or assigns provides to Progenics any of the intellectual property licensed under this Agreement (or any embodiment thereof to the extent provided by applicable non-bankruptcy law and this Agreement) pursuant to this Section 11.4, Progenics shall have the right to perform the obligations of INIS under this Agreement with respect to such intellectual property, but neither such provision nor such performance by Progenics shall release INIS from any such obligation or liability for failing to perform it.

 

(d)                     Additional Rights. All rights, powers and remedies of Progenics provided herein are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other rights, powers and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including, without limitation, Title 11) in the event of the commencement of a Title 11 case by or against INIS. Progenics, in addition to the rights, power and remedies expressly provided herein, shall be entitled to exercise all other such rights and powers and resort to all other such remedies as may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity (including, without limitation, Title 11) in such event. The Parties agree that they intend the foregoing rights to extend to the maximum extent permitted by law, including, without limitation, for purposes of Title 11:

 

(i)                                                 the right of access to any intellectual property (including all embodiments thereof) of INIS, or any Third Party with whom INIS contracts to perform an obligation of INIS under this Agreement, and, in the case of the Third Party, which is necessary for the development and manufacture of the Product; and

 

(ii)

the right to contract directly with any Third Party to complete the

contracted work.

 

11.5                                    Return of Confidential Information. Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement, but subject to the license grant by INIS to Progenics set forth in Section 10.4(b), each Party shall cease to use all Confidential Information of the other Party. Upon thirty (30) days of written request from a Party, the other Party shall deliver to the requesting Party, all Confidential Information of the requesting Party except for any documents or records that the Party is required to retain by applicable Law. In the event of termination of this Agreement as to any but not all of the Products pursuant to Section 11.2(b), then the provisions of this Section

11.5           shall apply only to Confidential Information specifically relating to the Products with respect to which such termination occurred.

 

11.6

License Grant.

 

(a)                                             In the event of any termination hereunder (other than by INIS pursuant to Section 11.3 or 11.4) then, effective immediately upon such termination, INIS shall grant to Progenics, and shall automatically be deemed to have granted to Progenics:

 

(i)                                                 a non-terminable, irrevocable, perpetual, exclusive, fully paid up, royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, license (with a right to sublicense) to any and all INIS Technology necessary or useful to enable Progenics or its designee to Manufacture and supply the Products and otherwise carry out INIS’ obligations under this Agreement; and

 

(ii)                                              a non-terminable, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, fully paid up, royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, license (with a right to sublicense) to any and all INIS Technology that INIS incorporates into any Manufacturing process or otherwise uses in performing Manufacturing or other services for Progenics, or that is necessary for the development or manufacturing of the Products or

 

 

  to make, have made, use, sell and have sold the Products.

 

11.7                  Survival. Termination or expiration of this Agreement will not affect any rights and obligations of the Parties that arose prior to such termination or expiration, but neither Party shall be liable for or have any obligation to pay any amount or payment accruing or becoming payable under this Agreement after the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement. In addition, Sections 5.3(b), 5.5, 8.6, 8.7, 10, 11.4(b), 11.5, 11.6, 11.7, 12, 13 and 14 shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

 

12.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

 

12.1            INIS Indemnification. In addition to other remedies provided by INIS or available to Progenics under this Agreement or applicable Law, INIS shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Progenics, its Affiliates and its and their respective past, present and future directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents and representatives (each, an “Progenics Indemnified Party”) from and against all losses, liabilities, damages, fines, penalties, forfeitures, judgments, arbitral awards, amounts paid in settlement, costs and expenses (including, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of any Third Party claims, proceedings or investigations (“Third Party Claims”) that such Progenics Indemnified Parties may incur as a result of (i) any material breach by INIS of any of its representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the failure of the Product delivered by INIS hereunder to meet the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement), (ii) the negligence or willful misconduct of any INIS Indemnified Party, or (iii) a claim by a Third Party that the use of any INIS Technology in the Manufacture of Product or the performance by INIS of any of activities contemplated by this Agreement infringes or misappropriates such Third Party’s intellectual property rights; provided, however, that INIS’ obligations pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall not apply to the extent that Progenics has an indemnity obligation with respect thereto pursuant to Section 12.2.

 

12.2             Progenics Indemnification. In addition to other remedies provided by Progenics or available to INIS under this Agreement or applicable Law, Progenics shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless INIS, its Affiliates and its and their respective past, present and future directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents and representatives (each, a “INIS Indemnified Party”) from and against all Losses arising out of any Third Party Claims that such INIS Indemnified Parties may incur as a result of (i) any material breach by Progenics of any of its representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the negligence or willful misconduct of any Progenics Indemnified Party, or (iii) a claim by a Third Party that the use of any Progenics Technology in the Manufacture of Product or the performance by Progenics of any activities contemplated by this Agreement infringes or misappropriates such Third Party’s intellectual property rights; provided, however, that Progenics’ obligations pursuant to this Section 12.2 shall not apply to the extent that INIS has an indemnity obligation with respect thereto pursuant to Section 12.1.

 

12.3

Third Party Claims.

 

(a)           If any Third Party notifies an Indemnified Party with respect to any matter which may give rise to a claim for Losses against the Indemnifying Party under Section 12.1 or Section 12.2, as applicable, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation under this Section 12, except and only to the extent such delay actually prejudices the Indemnifying Party.

 

(b)           The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third-

 

Party Claim that is the subject of a notice given by an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 12.3(a). In addition, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party gives written notice to the Indemnified Party of its assumption of control and defense of the Third Party Claim within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that such Indemnifying Party has and will have adequate financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Third Party Claim involves primarily money damages and does not seek any material injunction or other material equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (iv) the Third Party Claim does not relate to or otherwise arise in connection with any criminal or regulatory enforcement action, and (v) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim in good faith and with reasonable diligence. The Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its own cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, whether or not an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim hereunder shall not constitute a presumption or omission with respect to whether the Losses related to such Third- Party Claim are, in fact, subject to indemnification hereunder.

 

(c)            The Indemnifying Party may not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party unless such judgment, compromise or settlement provides for the payment by the Indemnifying Party of money as sole relief for the claimant, (ii) results in the full and general release of the Indemnified Parties from all liabilities arising or relating to, or in connection with, the Third Party Claim, and (iii) involves no finding or admission of any violation of legal requirements or the rights of any Person and no material adverse effect on any other claims that may be made against any Indemnified Party.

 

(d)         The Indemnified Party may not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to a Third-Party Claim with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the control and defense of a Third Party Claim under Section 12.3(b), the Indemnified Party may defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification hereunder from the Indemnifying Party for any Losses associated therewith, including by providing reasonable access to applicable personnel and books and records. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall at all times use reasonable efforts to keep the other reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any Third-Party Claim and to cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such matter.

 

12.4         Consequential Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER ANY THEORY, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT LAW (INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY AND NEGLIGENCE) SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF USE, REVENUE, PROFIT, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AND THE LIKE, DEPRECIATION OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAD BEEN ADVISED, OR KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; PROVIDED THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY (I) CLAIMS ARISING FROM A PARTY’S BREACH OF OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 13 (CONFIDENTIALITY), OR (II) ANY SUCH DAMAGES PAYABLE TO A THIRD PARTY PURSUANT TO A THIRD PARTY CLAIM THAT GIVES RISE TO AN INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION HEREUNDER.

 

 

12.5           Insurance. At all times during the Term and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, each Party shall:

 

[**]

 

Each Party shall obtain the insurance policies described in this Section 12.5 from nationally known and reputable commercial insurers. Each Party shall list the other Party as an additional insured on such policies. For the avoidance of doubt, the minimum insurance limits in no way limits the liability of each Party.

 

13.

CONFIDENTIALITY

 

13.1                                          General. Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each of INIS and Progenics (in such capacity, the “Disclosing Party”) may disclose to the other Party, and to its Affiliates and to their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and/or representatives (in such capacity, the “Receiving Party”) certain secret, confidential or proprietary data, trade secrets, know-how, intellectual property and related information, including operating methods and procedures, marketing, Manufacturing, distribution and sales methods and systems, sales figures, pricing policies and price lists and other business information (“Confidential Information”). The Receiving Party shall make no use of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party except in the exercise of its rights and the performance of its obligations set forth in this Agreement. The Receiving Party (a) shall keep and hold as confidential, and shall cause its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives to keep and hold as confidential, all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, and (b) shall not disclose, and shall cause its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives not to disclose, any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to any Third Party; provided, however, that INIS shall have the right to disclose Confidential Information of Progenics to Third Parties involved in the Manufacturing, to the extent necessary for such Third Parties to perform their respective Manufacturing obligations. Confidential Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party shall remain the sole and absolute property of the Disclosing Party, subject to the rights granted in this Agreement.

 

13.2                                          Exceptions. The above restrictions on the use and disclosure of Confidential Information shall not apply to any information which (a) is already known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party, as demonstrated by competent proof (other than as a result of prior disclosure under any agreement between or among the Parties with respect to confidentiality), (b) is or becomes generally available to the public other than through any act or omission of the Receiving Party in breach of this Agreement, (c) is acquired by the Receiving Party from a Third Party who is not, directly or indirectly, under an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party with respect to same, or (d) is developed independently by the Receiving Party without use, direct or indirect, of information that is required to be held confidential under this Agreement. In addition, nothing in this Section 13 shall be interpreted to limit the ability of any Party to use or disclose its own Confidential Information in any manner or to any other Person.

 

13.3                                       Permitted Disclosures. It shall not be a breach of Section 13.1 if a Receiving Party discloses Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party (a) pursuant to requirement of applicable Law or a Regulatory Authority, or (b) in a judicial, administrative or arbitration proceeding to enforce such Party’s rights under this Agreement. In such event, the Receiving Party shall (i) provide the Disclosing Party with as much advance written notice as possible of the required disclosure, (ii) reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party in any attempt to prevent or limit the disclosure, and (iii) limit disclosure, if any, to the specific purpose at issue. Additionally, either Party may make any disclosures that its legal advisor determines are required to make in connection with the Securities Exchanges Rules.

 

 

13.4     Confidential Terms. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be considered Confidential Information of each Party and shall be treated accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other may be required to disclose some or all of the information included in this Agreement in order to comply with its obligations under securities Laws or the rules or regulations of any securities exchange or market on which the Disclosing Party’s or its Affiliate’s stock is traded, and hereby consents to such disclosure to the extent deemed necessary by its respective counsel (but only after consulting with the other to the extent practicable, including with respect to the propriety and practicality of seeking confidential treatment of any aspects of such information).

 

13.5      Equitable Remedies. Each Party specifically recognizes that any breach by it of this Section 13 may cause irreparable injury to the other Party and that actual damages may be difficult to ascertain, and in any event, may be inadequate. Accordingly, (and without limiting the availability of legal or equitable, including injunctive, remedies under any other provisions of this Agreement), each Party agrees that in the event of any such breach, the other Party shall be entitled to seek, by way of private litigation in the first instance, injunctive relief and such other legal and equitable remedies as may be available.

 

13.6                                                                  Publicity. Unless otherwise required by a Law, no Party or its Affiliate shall make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and the Parties shall reasonably cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such announcement.

 

14.

If after ten (10) Business Days following receipt of a Party’s written notification of a Dispute such Dispute has not been resolved, the Dispute shall be brought to the attention of the CEO of each Party and such CEO or his/her designee will negotiate in good faith to define and implement a final resolution. The intent of this Section 14.5 is to encourage the Parties to work together to resolve any Dispute without having to rely on arbitration or any other legal proceeding. However, nothing in this Section 14.5 shall prevent or inhibit either Party to institute any other action (including seeking injunctive relief). This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles that require the application of the law of a different state).

 

(b)          Jurisdiction. The Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts sitting in New York County, State of New York, for any action, suit or proceeding (other than appeals therefrom) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and agree not to commence any action, suit or proceeding (other than appeals therefrom) related thereto except in such courts. The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive their right to a jury trial.

 

(c)           Venue. The Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding (other than appeals therefrom) arising out of or relating to this Agreement in the federal or state courts sitting in New York County, State of New York, and hereby

 

 

further irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

(d)          Service. Each Party agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to its address set forth in Section 14.2 shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding brought against it under this Agreement in any such court.

 

14.6           Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither INIS nor Progenics may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its liabilities or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other; provided, that no prior consent shall be required (a) in connection with an assignment by Progenics of all or substantially all of its business or assets relating to the Products, whether by merger, reorganization, acquisition, sale, strategic transaction or otherwise, or (iii) in connection with an assignment by Progenics to its Affiliate; provided that Progenics shall remain jointly and severally liable with such Affiliate in respect of all obligations so assigned. Any attempt to assign this Agreement in violation of this Section 14.6 shall be void.

 

14.7           No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

14.9           Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and such counterparts may be delivered in electronic format (including by fax and email). Such delivery of counterparts shall be conclusive evidence of the intent to be bound hereby and each such counterpart and copies produced therefrom shall have the same effect as an original. To the extent applicable, the foregoing constitutes the election of the Parties to invoke any applicable Law authorizing electronic signatures.

 

14.10        Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable. The Parties further agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable provision.

 

14.11        Rules of Construction. The Parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or ruling of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.

 

14.12        Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF PROGENICS AND INIS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR

14.14        No Implied Waivers; Rights Cumulative. No failure on the part of INIS or Progenics to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement, or provided by statute or at law or in equity or otherwise, including the right or power to terminate this Agreement, shall impair, prejudice or constitute a waiver of any such right, power, remedy or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any breach of this Agreement or as an acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, remedy or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.

 

14.15        Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable or responsible to the other Party, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement if such failure or delay is caused by or results from force majeure events outside of the reasonable control of such Party, including without limitation (i) acts of nature; (ii) flood, fire, earthquake or explosion; (iii) war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest; (iv) requirements of law applicable generally and not specific to such Party; (v) actions, embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement; (vi) action by any governmental authority (whether or not having the effect of law) applicable generally and not specific to such Party; (vii) national or regional emergency; (viii) strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances; (ix) shortages of or delays in receiving raw materials; or (x) shortage of adequate power or transportation facilities (each, a “Force Majeure Event”).
