Notwithstanding the foregoing, Jazz Pharmaceuticals acknowledges that CuraScript and ESSDS possesses certain inventions, processes, know-how, trade secrets, improvements, other intellectual properties and other assets, which have been independently developed by such party prior to this Agreement and which relate to its business or operations (collectively “CuraScript Property”). Jazz Pharmaceuticals, ESSDS and CuraScript agree that any CuraScript Property or improvements thereto which are used, improved, modified or developed independently by CuraScript or ESSDS under or during the term of this Agreement, without reference to, or reliance upon, the Inventions, the Product or the Confidential Information of Jazz Pharmaceuticals or their incorporation therein, are the exclusive property of CuraScript and/or ESSDS (as appropriate).

If no such written notification is given, this Agreement shall automatically continue with the same terms and conditions as set forth herein for an additional 1 year term, subject to the right of termination as otherwise provided herein.

Section 6.2 Termination for Bankruptcy. Any party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon five (5) days written notice, if (a) any other party files a petition for reorganization or liquidation under any federal or state bankruptcy law, or any such petition is filed against such other party and, in either case, the petition is not withdrawn or dismissed within sixty (60) days after filing, or (b) a receiver is appointed for any part of the other party’s assets and said appointment is not vacated within sixty (60) days.

appropriate corrective action cannot be mutually agreed to by the parties within thirty (30) days after such determination of non-compliance or such earlier date as is specified by the regulatory body.

Section 6.4 Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any party may give any other party written notice of a material breach of this Agreement. If the breaching party has not cured said breach within thirty (30) days from the date such notice was sent, this Agreement may be terminated at the option of any non-breaching party.

Section 6.5 Transition of Covered Services. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, the parties shall mutually agree on an expeditious schedule of transition of the Covered Services.

Confidential Information to such other specialty pharmacy for the purpose of continuing “treatment” (as that term is defined under HIPAA) of such Patients, and CuraScript shall expeditiously honor such request to the extent disclosure of such Patient Confidential Information by CuraScript is permitted under applicable law, including, but not limited to, HIPAA. The purpose of any transfer of Patient Confidential Information is to assure, to the extent possible, a smooth transition for patients. If this Agreement has been terminated by Jazz Pharmaceuticals under Sections 6.2, 6.3 or 6.4, CuraScript shall be responsible for all expenses incurred by CuraScript in connection with the transition described in this Section 6.7.

ARTICLE VII

COMPLIANCE WITH LAW; REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 7.1 Compliance With Law. Each party agrees that it will perform its respective obligations hereunder in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws, including, but not limited to, applicable DEA, FDA, state and local wholesale and pharmacy requirements, as applicable. Jazz Pharmaceuticals agrees that it will not use language stating that any entity other than ESSDS is the licensed pharmacy that distributes Product pursuant to this Agreement in any written materials that ESSDS is requested by Jazz Pharmaceuticals to send to Patients as part of the Covered Services. Jazz Pharmaceuticals may, without restriction, use any language referring to the Xyrem Success Program, as well as any references to “pharmacy” in, or in conjunction with, any written materials that ESSDS is not requested by Jazz Pharmaceuticals to send to Patients or any other party; provided that Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall not use ESSD’s or CuraScript’s name in connection with such references, except where necessary or appropriate under law or regulation. If CuraScript reasonably believes that any correspondence from Jazz Pharmaceuticals to Patients that Jazz Pharmaceuticals requests CuraScript or ESSDS to send to Patients as part of the Covered Services does not comply with any applicable federal, state, or local law, CuraScript shall notify Jazz Pharmaceuticals and provide reasonable detail as to its reasoning; provided, however, the aforementioned shall not be construed as imposing any obligation on CuraScript or ESSDS to determine whether such materials are compliant with applicable law, and it shall be Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ obligation to ensure such compliance. The parties shall discuss CuraScript’s or ESSDS’s reasonable concerns and agree upon an alternative mailing or other course of action, if necessary. FDA laws are not limited to section 505 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, but also include any special considerations required by the FDA for approval of any additional indication for the Product. CuraScript will be notified of such requirements in writing by Jazz Pharmaceuticals. In the event any such special FDA requirements cause CuraScript’s or ESSDS’s obligations under this Agreement to be materially more burdensome or expensive, the parties shall promptly negotiate an appropriate modification to the Fees, and if the parties cannot agree on such a modification, or CuraScript in good faith views such additional responsibility as too burdensome to continue with the Agreement, CuraScript and ESSDS shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without penalty upon 60 days’ written notice to Jazz Pharmaceuticals. If CuraScript believes that new or different procedures are necessary under applicable law, or that there are requests that necessitate modified or different procedures, CuraScript will notify Jazz Pharmaceuticals and the parties will work together in good faith to develop mutually agreed upon Business Rules or SOPs to address CuraScripts’ concerns. In the absence of such agreement, this Agreement and the existing Business Rules and SOPs shall control.

(b) In addition, Jazz Pharmaceuticals hereby represents and warrants that Product at the time of shipment to the Facility: (i) shall not be adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the Act, or within the meaning of any applicable state or municipal law in which the definitions of adulteration or misbranded are substantially the same as those contained in the Act, as the Act and such laws are constituted and effective at the time of shipment; and (ii) shall not be a product which may not, under the provisions of the Act or FDA guidelines pertaining to the Product, be introduced into interstate commerce. Jazz Pharmaceuticals further represents and warrants that: (i) all programs initiated by Jazz Pharmaceuticals and included as part of the Covered Services shall be structured in accordance with applicable law and regulatory guidance; (ii) Jazz Pharmaceuticals, and not CuraScript or ESSDS, shall be responsible for the content of all materials provided by Jazz Pharmaceuticals to CuraScript and ESSDS for use or distribution in connection with the Covered Services, and Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall ensure that all such materials have received the appropriate regulatory approval (e.g., FDA), if appropriate, and are educational and limited to communications that are intended to describe the Product or provide important Product-related information, and do not constitute “marketing” as defined under HIPAA; and (iii) Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall ensure that all programs initiated by Jazz Pharmaceuticals as part of the Covered Services, and related materials, in no way advocate any off-label use of the Product.
