Furthermore, the Parties shall agree in advance on all substantive written communications with Regulatory Authorities in the United Kingdom to the extent related to the Licensed Product. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 4.2.

 

 

 

                    4.2.4. Assumption of Marketing Authorization.

Therabel will respond to any and all safety inquiries regarding the Licensed Product in the Territory. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in performing their obligations under the Pharmacovigilence Agreement and maintaining the Adverse Event database.

19


[*CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED AS TO CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT. EACH SUCH PORTION, WHICH HAS BEEN OMITTED HEREIN AND REPLACED WITH AN ASTERISK [***], HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.]

 

 

 

product label changes dictated by a Regulatory Authority will not require approval by the JSC.

 

 

 

          4.5. Manufacture and Supply of Licensed Products. Javelin shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause that all of Javelin’s rights and obligations under all existing manufacturing and supply agreements for the Licensed Product as listed on Schedule 4.5(A) (the “Assumed Agreements”) be transferred to Therabel (or any Affiliated Company) and Therabel or such Affiliate shall assume said rights and obligations. Javelin represents and warrants that there are no outstanding obligations (including payment obligations) incumbent on Javelin under the Assumed Agreements, except as set forth in Schedule 4.5(B), and that there are no outstanding disputes or claims. Javelin shall provide support to Therabel for a period of [***] or until the Manufacturing of the Licensed Product is transitioned to Baxter Healthcare Corporation (“Baxter”), whichever is later, to facilitate the transfer of such rights and obligations. As of the Effective Date, Therabel shall be responsible for the Manufacture and supply of the Licensed Product and all costs associated thereto for Regulatory Submission and Commercialization of the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory. Within [***] days of the Effective Date or as agreed by the Parties, Therabel shall pay Javelin for all the Existing Inventory that is currently located at [***], as set forth in Schedule 4.5(C). The Existing Inventory that is not yet at [***] on the Effective Date shall be delivered by Javelin to Therabel, which delivery shall be made DDP at [***] and, subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.5, payment shall be made by Therabel promptly upon delivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Javelin shall ensure that the Existing Inventory purchased by Therabel pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall be supplied as fully packaged finished goods which are ready for sale in the Territory and shall have been released by [***], and (ii) Therabel shall have no obligation to pay for the Existing Inventory manufactured by [***] until [***] has been approved as a manufacturer of the Licensed Product in the United Kingdom and such Existing Inventory has been delivered to [***] in a ready for sale form with not less than [***] shelf life from the time of delivery.

          4.7. Commercialization in the Territory. Therabel shall Commercialize the Licensed Product in accordance with the Commercialization Plan as follows:

20


[*CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED AS TO CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT. EACH SUCH PORTION, WHICH HAS BEEN OMITTED HEREIN AND REPLACED WITH AN ASTERISK [***], HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.]

 

 

 

 

                    4.7.1. Commercialization Plan. Therabel shall submit to the JSC for its approval a strategic commercialization plan for the Licensed Product in the Territory (the “Commercialization Plan”) which sets forth, without limitation, (a) [***] marketing strategy that includes plans for market research, health economics, pricing and reimbursement, medical affairs and value added initiatives, (b) [***] communications strategy that includes plans for public relations, conferences and exhibitions and other external meetings, internal meetings and communications, publications and symposia, internet activities and core brand package (if relevant), (c) [***] strategy for Phase IV studies and lifecycle management activities, (d) a high level operating plan for the implementation of such strategies on an annual basis, including without limitation, information related to product positioning, core messages to be communicated, share of voice requirements and pricing strategies, (e) [***], (f) [***] and (g) [***]. The Commercialization Plan will be updated at least [***]. The Commercialization Plan shall reflect that the Commercialization of Licensed Product in [***] is a priority for Therabel and Therabel shall devote at least a similar degree of sales force incentives in support of said Commercialization as is the case for other traditional key products of Therabel’s current product portfolio that are comparable to the Licensed Product.

 

 

 

 

                    4.7.2. Commercialization Activities. Within [***] of receipt of Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Product in any country in the Territory, Therabel shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to launch the Licensed Product in such country. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Therabel shall be excused from its obligation to launch the Licensed Product in a country in the Territory if.

 

 

 

 

 

          (a) the combined royalties payable to Javelin and COGS (as set forth in Section 5.3) are expected to exceed [***] percent ([***]%) of Net Sales, with such amount to be certified by the JSC;

 

 

 

 

 

          (b) the requirement to carry out additional clinical studies in order to obtain reimbursement or a commercially reasonable price is judged by the JSC to be commercially unreasonable; or

 

 

 

 

 

          (c) the JSC determines that the expected Net Sales Price or the expected reimbursed pricing for a Licensed Product in a country in the Territory will be greater than [***]% below the average Net Sales Price or the average reimbursed pricing (as applicable) achieved in countries where the Licensed Product is already launched.

 

 

 

 

provided, however, if the JSC is unable to agree on such criteria listed above for excusing Therabel’s obligation to launch the Licensed Product in a country in the Territory, the

21


[*CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED AS TO CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT. EACH SUCH PORTION, WHICH HAS BEEN OMITTED HEREIN AND REPLACED WITH AN ASTERISK [***], HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.]

 

 

 

matter shall be referred to the Dispute Resolution Panel, the costs of which shall be borne equally by the Parties.

 

 

 

          Following the launch of the Licensed Product in a country in the Territory, Therabel will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Commercialize the Licensed Product in such country, in accordance with the Commercialization Plan. In conducting the Commercialization activities, Therabel will comply with all Applicable Laws and applicable industry professional standards. Therabel shall not make any claims or statements with respect to the Licensed Product that are not strictly consistent with the Licensed Product labeling and the sales and marketing materials approved for use pursuant to the Commercialization Plan. Therabel will book all sales of the Licensed Product and will have the sole responsibility for the sale, invoicing and distribution of the Licensed Product in the Territory, but without prejudice to Therabel’s right to have such activities subcontracted to Third Parties.

 

 

 

          4.8. Phase IV and Publication Strategy. Subject to the approval of the JSC and Javelin, Therabel may undertake, or permit its Affiliates, licensees or Sublicensees to undertake within the Territory, any pre-clinical or clinical marketing studies of the Licensed Product in the Territory, including, without limitation, Phase IV studies and any post-approval studies required for registration or imposed by a Regulatory Authority in a country within the Territory. The cost of any pre-clinical or clinical marketing studies of the Licensed Product, including, without limitation, Phase IV studies and any post-approval studies required for registration or imposed by a Regulatory Authority in a country within the Territory, incurred after the Effective Date of the Agreement shall be the responsibility of Therabel.

 

 

 

          The Parties will also coordinate worldwide publication strategy involving the Licensed Product and activities involving the Licensed Product related to scientific conferences inside and outside the Territory, including through delegation to appropriate working groups of the Parties. Each Party shall be afforded the opportunity to review and approve any scientific paper or presentation with respect to the Licensed Product proposed for publication, presentation or distribution by the other Party or its Affiliates and licensees or Sublicensees and shall have no more than [***] days to complete such review and approval or such shorter period as may reasonably be required by applicable publication deadlines promptly communicated to such Party. The Party proposing publication or presentation shall not unreasonably reject comments furnished by the other Party, will comply with the other Party’s request to delete references to its Confidential Information in any such publication or presentation and will delay publication for such reasonable period requested by the other Party to permit the filing of patent applications concerning any Therabel Technology or Javelin Technology disclosed in material proposed for such publication or presentation.

The Parties will coordinate the disclosure of the initiation and results of clinical studies performed pursuant to the Regulatory Submission Plans or Development Plans or clinical studies performed by either Party’s licensees or Sublicensees with respect to the Licensed Product, whether within or outside of the Territory, to the extent required by law or best industry practices; provided that all proposed disclosures and publications will be submitted for expeditious review by the JSC and due regard will be given to the comments of each Party, the maintenance of confidentiality of Confidential Information of each Party and allowing time for intellectual property registrations. Nothing set forth herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict either Party from disclosing the results of clinical trials (whether performed by the Parties or by Third Parties) to the extent required by law or best industry practices. The Parties intend that the provisions of this Section 4.8 shall apply to the Parties and their respective Affiliates, licensees and Sublicensees.

 

 

 

          4.9. Development. Subject to the JSC first agreeing on a Regulatory Submission Plan and a Commercialization Plan with respect to the relevant new forms of Licensed Product in accordance with Sections 4.1 and 4.7 above, Therabel shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop, seek Regulatory Approval for, and pursue the Commercialization of any new forms of Licensed Product, including without limitation a low-dose formulation, deemed by the JSC as having the opportunity to enhance the value of the Licensed Product. In the event the JSC is unable to agree on whether any such new form has the opportunity to enhance the value of the Licensed Product or whether such pursuit is Commercially Reasonable, the matter shall be referred to the Dispute Resolution Panel, the costs of which shall be borne equally by the Parties. To facilitate the Development, Therabel, with assistance from Javelin, shall prepare and submit to the JSC for its approval a Development Plan for such new forms of Licensed Product. As from its approval by the JSC, Therabel shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to implement the approved Development Plan.

Each [***] Milestone shall be payable within [***] days of achievement of the event and shall be fully creditable within the country for which the [***] Milestone is associated against royalties on Net Sales of the Licensed Product payable to Javelin pursuant to Section 5.3 for (i) [***] from the date of removal of the Contraindication in the UK in the case of the [***] Milestone first listed above, (ii) [***] from [***] in the case of [***], and (iii) [***] from [***] in the other countries for which a [***] Milestone is due. For the avoidance of doubt, during the [***] or [***] term referred to in this Section above, no royalties on Net Sales of the Licensed Product pursuant to Section 5.3 shall be due to Javelin, unless the royalties that would otherwise be due during said [***] or [***] term would be in excess of the corresponding milestone payment, in which case only the amount in excess of the milestone will be payable to Javelin.

 

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Therabel’s obligation to launch the Licensed Product in a country is excused pursuant to Section 4.5.2 and Therabel elects not to launch the Licensed Product, Therabel’s obligation to pay a [***] Milestone associated with such country shall also be excused.

For the avoidance of doubt, if more than one of the milestones described above are achieved for any Calendar Year, all applicable milestone payments described above shall be made in such case.

 

 

 

          5.3. Royalties.

 

 

 

                    5.3.1. Payment of Royalties. Without prejudice to Section 5.3.2, Therabel shall pay to Javelin royalties based on the aggregate Net Sales of the Licensed Product sold by Therabel, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees in all countries in the Territory at a rate of [***] ([***]%) of such Net Sales. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if COGS for Licensed Products related to Net Sales in a particular country is greater than or equal to [***] (***]%) of Net Sales as determined on a country-by-country basis, then the royalty payable to Javelin under this Section in each such country shall be reduced by [***] ([***]%) for each percent that such COGS exceeds [***] ([***]%); provided, however, that in no case shall the royalties payable to Javelin pursuant to Section 5.3 be less than [***] ([***]%) of Net Sales in any country- Therabel shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to reduce COGS related to Licensed Products. In connection therewith, Therabel shall verify to what extent it is feasible and more cost-efficient for it to complete the final European Union quality release for the Licensed Product within its internal Quality group (instead of such service being provided by Almac Pharma Services Limited as such is currently the case). In the event that Therabel’s cost to perform the final European Union quality release of the Licensed Product is lower than Almac Pharma Services Limited’s cost for such services but Therabel elects to continue to have such services performed by Almac, or other external provider, the difference in the cost shall be removed from the COGS definition and shall not be included in the royalty calculation under this Section 5.3.1. If the Parties are unable to agree on such difference in cost, the matter shall be referred to the Independent Financial Expert, the costs of which shall be borne equally by the Parties.

[*CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED AS TO CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT. EACH SUCH PORTION, WHICH HAS BEEN OMITTED HEREIN AND REPLACED WITH AN ASTERISK [***], HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.]

 

 

 

                    5.3.2. No Royalties – Reduced Royalties. Therabel shall have no obligation to pay the royalties due under this Section 5.3 on the Net Sales of the Licensed Product generated from sales of any Existing Inventory produced by Precision and delivered by Javelin pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof. In the event that a Third Party launches an intravenous and intramuscular bolus injection of diclofenac, the marketing authorization of which references the Licensed Product, and the Net Sales of the Licensed Product for any [***] decrease by more than [***] ([***]%) as compared to Net Sales of the Licensed Product for the [***] immediately preceding the launch of such Third Party product, then the royalties applicable in those countries of the Territory where such Product receives a marketing authorization shall be reduced to [***] ([***]%) of the Net Sales of the Licensed Product realized as from the date of said marketing authorization.

 

 

 

                    5.3.3. Royalty Reports. Within [***] days after the beginning of each [***] beginning with the [***] in which the First Commercial Sale is made in the Territory, Therabel shall deliver to Javelin a report setting forth for the previous [***] the following information on a country-by-country basis: (a) the gross sales and Net Sales of the Licensed Product in the Territory, (b) the number of units sold by Therabel, its Affiliates or Sublicensees (if any), (c) the applicable COGS if the royalty rate has been reduced pursuant to Section 5.3.1, (d) the deductions taken in calculating Net Sales, including without limitation, discounts, allowances, rebates, and fees, (e) the royalty due hereunder for the sales of the Licensed Product, and (f) the applicable exchange rate as determined in accordance with this Agreement, all in sufficient detail to enable Javelin to determine the amounts due under this Agreement. Each such report shall also indicate the amount of Sublicense Income received by Therabel and the portion owed to Javelin for the preceding [***] pursuant to Section 5.3.5 (if any). The total royalty due for the sale of Licensed Products during such [***] and payments with respect to Sublicense Income shall be remitted within [***] days of receipt of an invoice from Javelin for the reported amounts.

 

 

 

                    5.3.4. Royalty Terms. Subject to Sections 5.2.1 and 5.3.2, Therabel’s obligation to pay royalties to Javelin pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall commence on [***] and shall expire, on a country-by-country basis, on the later to occur of (a) expiration of data exclusivity related to the Licensed Product in such country, (b) the expiration date in such country of the last to expire of any such issued Javelin Patent Rights that includes at least one Valid Claim covering the sale of such Licensed Product in such country, or (c) the launch by a Third Party of an intravenous or intramuscular bolus injection of diclofenac in such country, the marketing authorization of which references the Licensed Product. In any non-European Union country of the Territory, which recognizes a marketing authorization of another country within the Territory and for which there is no Valid Claim covering the sale of the Licensed Product, the term for which Therabel owes royalties to Javelin in such country shall be the same as the country whose marketing authorization such country has recognized, provided no other intravenous or intramuscular bolus injection of diclofenac, the marketing authorization of

[*CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED AS TO CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT. EACH SUCH PORTION, WHICH HAS BEEN OMITTED HEREIN AND REPLACED WITH AN ASTERISK [***], HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.]

 

 

 

which references the Licensed Product, is on the market in that non-European Union country. Section 5.3.2 shall apply if such other intravenous or intramuscular bolus injection of diclofenac is on the market in that non-European Union country. For the avoidance of any doubt, this Agreement shall remain in force after the expiration of the Royalty Term, subject to Section 9 below.

 

 

 

                    5.3.5. Sublicense Income. Therabel shall pay to Javelin [***] percent ([***]%) of all Sublicense Income.

 

 

 

                    5.3.6. Third Party Obligations. Javelin shall be responsible for any and all royalty obligations to Third Parties (including to the IP Owners) existing as of the Effective Date related to the Licensed Product in the Territory.

 

 

 

          5.4. Matters Concerning Payments.

 

 

 

                    5.4.1. Records and Audits. During the Term of this Agreement, Therabel shall keep and maintain accurate and complete records showing all information set forth in royalty reports required hereunder and all Sublicense Income during the [***] preceding [***], which books and records shall be in sufficient detail such that Net Sales and royalties can accurately be determined. Upon [***] prior written notice from Javelin, Therabel shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm, selected by Javelin and reasonably acceptable to Therabel, to examine the relevant books and records of Therabel and its Affiliates as may be reasonably necessary to verify the reports submitted by Therabel in accordance with Section 5.3.3. An examination by Javelin under this Section 5.4.1 shall occur not more than once in any [***] and shall be limited to the pertinent books and records for any Calendar Year ending not more than [***] months before the date of the request. The accounting firm shall be provided access to such books and records at Therabel’s facility(ies) where such books and records are normally kept and such examination shall be conducted during Therabel’s normal business hours. Therabel may require the accounting firm to sign a standard non-disclosure agreement before providing the accounting firm access to Therabel’s facilities or records. Upon completion of the audit, the accounting firm shall provide both Javelin and Therabel a written report disclosing whether the reports submitted by Therabel are correct or incorrect and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. No other information shall be provided to Javelin. Additionally, Javelin shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred in conducting the audit; provided, however, that if the accounting firm determines that the reports submitted by Therabel are misstated by more than [***] ([***}%) to Javelin’s detriment, Therabel shall be responsible for all such costs and expenses.

 

 

 

                    5.4.2. Taxes and Withholding. All payments under this Agreement shall be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax unless such deduction or withholding is required by Applicable Laws or regulations. If Therabel is so

required to deduct or withhold, Therabel shall (i) promptly notify Javelin of such requirement, (ii) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld promptly upon the earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been assessed against Javelin, and (iii) promptly forward to Javelin an official receipt (or certified copy) or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Javelin evidencing such payment to such authorities and cooperate in any other manner as reasonably necessary to assist Javelin in obtaining any refund it is entitled to in connection therewith (if any).

 

 

 

                    5.4.3. Currency. All amounts payable shall be in United States dollars. As applicable, Net Sales and all expenses incurred by Therabel shall be translated into United States dollars using the rate of exchange printed in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal on the last day of the applicable period. If, due to restrictions or prohibitions imposed by national or international authority, payments cannot be made as provided in this Section 5, the Parties shall consult with a view to finding a prompt and acceptable solution.

 

 

 

                    5.4.4. Confidentiality. All financial information of a Party which is subject to review under this Section 5.4 shall be deemed to be Confidential Information subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, and such Confidential Information shall not be disclosed to any Third Party or used for any purpose other than verifying payments to be made by one Party to the other hereunder, provided, however, that such Confidential Information may be disclosed to Third Parties only to the extent necessary to enforce a Party’s rights under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the preceding, if a Party contests any amounts due hereunder in good faith and promptly notifies the other Party of such dispute, interest shall not accrue as to amounts being so contested until [***] days following the presentation of such notice to the other Party.

LICENSED PRODUCT LIABILITY, INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE.

 

 

 

          10.1. Indemnification by Javelin. Javelin and its Affiliates shall indemnify and hold Therabel harmless from and against all damages, losses, expenses, claims (including wrongful death), demands, suits, penalties, judgments or administrative and judicial orders and liabilities (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred, assessed or sustained by Therabel, its Affiliates, or any of their officers, directors, or employees with respect to, involving, or arising out of (i) Javelin’s negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) Javelin’s breach of any representation, warranty, obligation or covenant of this Agreement, and (iii) Javelin’s defense of any claim of Third Party infringement as set forth in Section 8.4.2.

 

 

 

          10.2. Indemnification by Therabel. Therabel and its Affiliates shall indemnify and hold Javelin and its Affiliates harmless from and against all damages, losses, expenses, claims (including wrongful death and product liability), demands, suits, penalties, judgments or administrative and judicial orders and liabilities (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred, assessed or sustained by Javelin, its Affiliates, or any of their officers, directors, or employees with respect to, involving, or arising out of (i) Therabel’s negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) Therabel’s breach of any representation, warranty, obligation or covenant of this Agreement, (iii) Therabel’s defense of any claim of Third Party infringement as set forth in Section 8.4.2, or (iv) the sale, packaging, labeling, handling, advertising, distribution, consumption or use of the Licensed Product; except to the extent such claim arises from an event for which Javelin has an obligation to indemnify Therabel under Section 10.1.

 

 

 

          10.3. Procedure. Each Party shall notify the other in the event it becomes aware of a claim for which indemnification may be sought hereunder. In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 10, such Party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing and the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall meet to discuss how to respond to any claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. The Indemnifying Party, upon request of the Indemnified Party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party and shall pay the fees and

42


[*CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED AS TO CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT. EACH SUCH PORTION, WHICH HAS BEEN OMITTED HEREIN AND REPLACED WITH AN ASTERISK [***], HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.]

 

 

 

expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both Parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. All such fees and expenses incurred pursuant to Section 10.1 or 10.2 shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding unless effected with its written consent. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is, or arising out of the same set of facts could have been, a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by the Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability on claims to which the indemnity relates that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

 

 

 

          10.4. Insurance. Javelin further agrees to use its reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain Product Liability Insurance, with reputable and financially secure insurance carriers to cover its indemnification obligations under Sections 10.1 with limits of not less than [***] per occurrence and [***] in the aggregate until the Existing Inventory produced by Precision and supplied by Javelin to Therabel is fully depleted. Limits may be covered by a combination of primary and umbrella insurance policies.

Limits may be covered by a combination of primary and umbrella insurance policies.

 

 

 

          10.5. Liability Limitations. WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO THE FOREGOING, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE DAMAGES RESULT FROM A PARTY’S WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR ARISE FROM A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS SECTION 10.

MISCELLANEOUS.

 

 

 

          11.1. Governing Law and Arbitration. The interpretation and construction of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of The State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. Any and all disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including but not limited to disputes regarding its validity, interpretation or termination, shall be resolved and settled through negotiation between the Parties. To that effect, either Party shall serve a written notice upon the other (a “Dispute Notice”) proposing that the Parties seek to resolve the dispute by negotiation. If a dispute is not resolved within [***] days of the receipt of the Dispute Notice, such dispute shall, at the request of either Party, be settled in accordance with the ICC rules of arbitration by three arbitrators appointed in accordance with those rules. The site of arbitration shall be Geneva, Switzerland. The arbitration shall be conducted in English.

 

 

 

          11.2. Force Majeure. No liability shall result from, and no right to terminate shall arise, in whole or in part, based upon any delay in performance or non-performance, in whole or in part, by either of the Parties to this Agreement to the extent that such delay or non-performance is caused by an event of Force Majeure. “Force Majeure” means an event that is beyond a non-performing Party’s reasonable control, including an act of God, act of the other Party, strike, lock-out or other industrial/labor dispute, war, not, civil commotion, terrorist act, malicious damage, epidemic, quarantine, fire, flood, storm, natural disaster or compliance with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, whether or not it is later held to be invalid or inapplicable. The Force Majeure Party shall within [***] days of the occurrence of the Force Majeure event, give written notice to the other Party stating the nature of the Force Majeure event, its anticipated duration and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect. Any suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and of no longer duration than is reasonably required and the Force Majeure Party shall use reasonable effort to remedy its inability to perform; provided, however, if the suspension of performance continues or is anticipated to continue for [***] days after the date of the occurrence, the unaffected Party shall have the right but not the obligation to perform on behalf of the Force Majeure Party for a period of such Force Majeure and such additional period as may be reasonably required to assure a smooth and uninterrupted transition of such activities. If such failure to perform would constitute a material breach of this Agreement in the absence of such event of Force Majeure, and continues for [***] from the date of the occurrence and the Parties are not able to agree on appropriate amendments within such period, such other Party shall have the right, notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 11.2, to terminate this Agreement immediately by written notice to the Force Majeure Party, in which case neither Party shall have any liability to the other except for those rights and liabilities that accrued prior to the date of termination and the consequences of termination pursuant to Sections 9.2.5 or 9.2.6, as applicable, as if such termination was a termination as to which such consequences applied.

Therabel and Javelin shall cooperate and use respectively all reasonable efforts to make all other registrations, filings and applications, to give all notices and to obtain as soon as practicable all governmental or other consents, transfers, approvals, orders, qualifications authorizations, permits and waivers, if any, and to do all other things necessary or desirable for the consummation of the transactions as contemplated hereby. Neither Party shall be required, however, to divest or out-license products or assets or materially change its business if doing so is a condition of obtaining any governmental approvals of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

 

 

          11.4. Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies. A Party’s failure to enforce, at any time or for any period of time, any provision of this Agreement, or to exercise any right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver of that provision, right or remedy or prevent such Party from enforcing any or all provisions of this Agreement and exercising any rights or remedies. To be effective any waiver must be in writing. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by law or otherwise available except as expressly set forth herein.

 

 

 

          11.5. Notices.

 

 

 

                    11.5.1. Notice Requirements. Any notice, request, demand, waiver, consent, approval or other communication permitted or required under this Agreement shall be in writing, shall refer specifically to this Agreement and shall be deemed given only if delivered by hand or sent by facsimile transmission (with transmission confirmed) or by internationally recognized overnight delivery service that maintains records of delivery, addressed to the Parties at their respective addresses specified in Section 11.5.2 or to such other address as the Party to whom notice is to be given may have provided to the other Party in accordance with this Section 11.5.1.
