ITI shall provide, and Siegfried shall review those portions of ITI’s proposed regulatory submissions relating to Siegfried’s Manufacturing procedures or otherwise related to Siegfried’s key obligations hereunder before the submissions are filed with relevant Governmental Authorities and ITI shall consider Siegfried’s comments relating to the accuracy thereto in good faith.

 

7.4

The Parties acknowledge that the ultimate decision of whether any End Market Product will be approved for marketing and sale rests with the Governmental Authorities of the respective market in the Territory and that Siegfried shall not be liable for the failure of the Governmental Authorities to issue such approval.

Confidential Information

 

8.1

Each Receiving Party agrees to retain in strict confidence any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party (or its Affiliate), whether disclosed prior to, or after the Effective Date or the date of prior agreements and not to use any such Confidential Information for any purpose except pursuant to, and in order to carry out, the terms and objectives of this Agreement, and not to disclose, divulge or otherwise communicate any such Confidential Information to any third party.

 

8.2

The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party’s (and its Affiliate’s) officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants, licensees, representatives or (for Siegfried, permitted) subcontractors (each an Entitled Person), who, in each case, (i) need to know such information for purposes of the

  implementation and performance by the Receiving Party of this Agreement, and (iii) are subject to confidentiality restrictions covering the Confidential Information that are at least as stringent at those contained in this Section 8. The Receiving Party is liable and responsible for such Entitled Persons’ compliance with the terms of this Section 8.

 

8.3

The provisions of this Section 8 shall not apply to any Confidential Information disclosed hereunder which (a) was independently developed or known by the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party, as evidenced by the Receiving Party’s written or electronic records kept in the ordinary course of its business; or (b) was before or after the date of such disclosure in the public domain, other than through the Receiving Party’s fault or breach; or (c) is lawfully disclosed to the Receiving Party by an independent, unaffiliated third party rightfully in possession of the Confidential Information and not under any confidentiality obligation towards the Disclosing Party with regard to such Confidential Information. The fact that any portion of the Confidential Information may be subject to one of the foregoing exceptions (a) through (c) shall not automatically exclude any combination of Confidential Information from protection under this Agreement unless the entirety of such Confidential Information also falls under the same exception(s). Specific information disclosed as part of the Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain or in prior possession of the Receiving Party merely because it is included in more general information in the public domain or in the prior possession of the Receiving Party.

 

8.4

The Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to the extent such Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by the Receiving Party to the officials of a Governmental Authority or to comply with Applicable Laws, to defend or prosecute litigation, or to comply with judicial orders or valid subpoenas, provided that the Receiving Party provides prior written notice of such intended disclosure to the Disclosing Party and takes reasonable and lawful actions to avoid and/or minimize the degree of such disclosure, and reasonably assists the Disclosing Party in its efforts (if any) to oppose such disclosure. The burden of proof of the foregoing exceptions shall lie with the Receiving Party.

 

8.5

Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, nothing herein shall be construed as giving either Party any right, title or interest in or ownership of the Confidential Information of the other Party.

 

8.6

The Parties acknowledge that any breach of this Section 8 will cause irreparable harm and damage for which monetary damages may be difficult to ascertain, or may not be an adequate remedy, and that the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance or injunctive relief to enforce this Section 8 or to prevent a breach of this Section 8, in addition to whatever remedies such Party may otherwise be entitled to at law or in equity.

In the event ITI decides to file and prosecute patent applications on any Improvement (other than an Independent Improvement), Siegfried shall provide ITI with reasonable assistance to obtain and defend such patents at ITI’s costs and expenses.

 

9.4

During the term of this Agreement and for a period of [***] thereafter, upon request by ITI, and at ITI’s expense, Siegfried shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any papers reasonably deemed necessary by ITI to document, protect, or otherwise perfect such rights of ITI, including, without limitation, all documents necessary to obtain or perfect any protection of Intellectual Property Rights and/or to effect an assignment of ownership of the same to ITI, at ITI’s cost and expenses.

No set-off. Neither Party shall be entitled to set off any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement against the rights or obligations of another Party without having first obtained the prior written consent of that other Party.

 

13.2

Force Majeure. A Party shall be excused from performing its obligations under this Agreement (other than obligations of payment) to the extent that its performance is delayed or prevented by any unforeseeable cause beyond such Party’s reasonable control and not due to such Party’s negligence, which may include, but is not limited to, Act of God, fire, explosion, weather, disease, war, insurrection, civil strike, riots, government action power failure or energy shortages (Force Majeure Event). Performance shall be excused only to the extent of and during the reasonable continuance of such disability. Any deadline or time for performance specified in this Agreement that falls due during or subsequent to the occurrence of any of the disabilities referred to herein shall be automatically extended for a period of time equal to the period of such disability. The prevented Party shall immediately notify the other Party if, by reason of any Force Majeure Event affecting its performance of this Agreement. In the event that such Force Majeure Event prevents or delays a Party’s performance for [***] or more, then the non-prevented Party may at any time after the expiration of such period, by written notice to the other Party, either (i) suspend this Agreement for as long as such Force Majeure Event continues to exist, or (ii) terminate this Agreement with immediate effect; in each case without liability for either Party.

 

13.3

Precedence of Agreement. Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, the terms outlined in this Agreement shall prevail over any terms and conditions outlined in any Order or Order Confirmation for Product and any general terms and conditions of a Party, and such terms and conditions are hereby expressly excluded. In case of discrepancies between this Agreement and an Annex hereto, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. In the event of a conflict between any of the provisions of this Agreement and the Quality Agreement with respect to quality-related activities, including compliance with cGMP Regulations, the provisions of the Quality Agreement shall govern.

Any other assignment or delegation by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party is void.

 

13.5

No waiver. The failure by either Party at any time to enforce any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any right hereunder shall not constitute or be construed to constitute a waiver of the same or affect that Party’s rights thereafter to enforce or exercise the same. A waiver by a Party of any term or condition of this Agreement must be in writing to be effective.

Independent Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to constitute or create between the Parties hereto a partnership, joint venture, agency, or other relationship other than as expressly set forth herein.

13.7

Entire Agreement.

No alteration or modification of any of the provisions hereof shall be binding unless made in writing and signed by the Parties.

 

13.8

Severability. If any portion of this Agreement is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed to be of no force and effect and this Agreement shall be construed as if such portion had not been included herein, provided however, if the deletion of such provision materially impairs the commercial value of this Agreement to either Party, the Parties shall attempt to renegotiate such provision in good faith. The fact that any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Parties to this Agreement waive any provision of law that renders any provision of this Agreement prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
