all reasonable efforts to ensure that such Confidential Information is used only for those purposes specifically authorized by this Agreement. Except to the extent expressly permitted herein, neither Party shall use the other Party’s Confidential Information to apply for or secure intellectual property rights including patents. For clarity, EIFFEL agrees that it will not disclose any Confidential Information to any Affiliate or other development partner of EIFFEL except as required for EIFFEL to meet its obligations under this Agreement and MAP agrees that it will not disclose any Confidential Information to any Affiliate or other development partner of MAP except as required for MAP to meet its obligations under this Agreement. Furthermore, EIFFEL agrees that no Affiliate of EIFFEL shall use the Confidential Information of MAP disclosed to it for the purposes of developing Products containing the Compounds for use in the Field.

13.1.      These mutual obligations of confidentiality do not apply to Information or other information to the extent it is:

(a)      independently developed by the Receiving Party outside the scope and not in violation of this Agreement by employees not having access to the other Party’s Confidential Information as demonstrated by the Receiving Party’s written records;

(b)      in the public domain at the time of its receipt or thereafter becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the Receiving Party;

(d)       released by the Disclosing Party from the restrictions of this Section 13; or

(e)      was in the possession of the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party hereunder, as demonstrated by the Receiving Party’s written records.

If disclosure of a Party’s Confidential Information is required by law, statute, rule or court order, the Receiving Party may disclose such Confidential Information provided that the Receiving Party shall use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment of any such disclosure, consult with the Disclosing Party and permit the Disclosing Party to participate in seeking an appropriate protective order.

In addition, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 13.1, EIFFEL and MAP may each, to the extent necessary, disclose Confidential Information of the other Party to any subcontractor of either EIFFEL or MAP performing work under this Agreement (provided such subcontractor is subject to the provisions of this Section 13) solely

Subject to Section 13, either Party may publicly disclose the general nature and scope of this Agreement and the stage of development of the Products at any time during the term of this Agreement, without the consent of the other Party.

15.2.      Term of License Obligations. The license obligations of the parties as set out in Part III of this Agreement shall be for a term which commences as of the Effective Date and, unless sooner terminated as specifically provided in this Agreement, continues in effect on a country-by-country basis, until the expiration of all payment obligations (including any royalty payments) hereunder in respect of such country. For the purposes hereof, the payments due under this Agreement shall continue on a country-by-country basis, from the date of Commercial Launch of the Product in such country until the longer of (i) the duration of MAP’s payment obligation under Sections 7.2 or 7.3 or (ii) ten (10) years after Commercial Launch of the Product in such country.

15.3.      Termination by MAP. Following six months after the Effective Date, MAP may terminate this Agreement, with or without cause, effective on three (3) months written notice at any time. During such three (3) month period, MAP shall be responsible for [ * ] including [ * ] even if [ * ] EIFFEL will take commercially reasonable actions to mitigate such expenses under this Section 15.3.

15.4.      Grounds of Termination. In addition to the rights of termination provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, either Party will be entitled forthwith to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other Party if:

(a)      that other Party commits a material breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement and fails to cure the same within one-hundred and twenty (120) days after receipt of a written notice giving full particulars of the breach and requiring it to be remedied; provided, that if the breaching Party has proposed a course of action to cure the breach and is acting in good faith to cure same but has not cured the breach by the 120th day, such period shall be extended by such period as is reasonably necessary to permit the breach to be cured, provided that such period shall not be extended by more than ninety (90) days, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the alleged breaching party disputes by written notice to the non-breaching party such material breach in good faith within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice described above, the non-breaching party shall not have the right to terminate unless it has been determined in accordance with Section 16 that the Agreement was materially breached and the breaching party fails to thereafter cure such material breach within sixty (60) days of the decision of the arbitrator. The right to terminate shall be in addition to and not in substitution for any other available remedy at law or in equity; or

(b)      that other Party is or becomes subject to an Insolvency Event (except for the purposes of amalgamation or reconstruction and in such manner that the company resulting therefrom effectively agrees to be bound by or assume the obligations imposed on that other Party under this Agreement).

15.5.      Consequences of Termination. If MAP terminates this Agreement because of EIFFEL’s material breach under Section 15.4(a) or due to an event set forth in Sections 15.4(b), the license granted pursuant to Section 4.1 shall survives such termination, subject to the payments as set forth in Sections 7.2 and 7.3. EIFFEL agrees to take such steps as may be necessary to give full force and effect to the preceding sentence. If MAP terminates this Agreement under Section 15.3 for any reason other than as set forth in Section 15.4, or if EIFFEL terminates this Agreement because of MAP’s material breach as set forth in Section 15.4(a), all license rights granted to MAP will terminate immediately, subject to the payment obligations of MAP to EIFFEL under Sections 7.2 and 7.3. MAP may dispose of any Product in its inventory at the time of termination or under production at the time of termination.

15.6.      Surviving Obligations. Termination of this Agreement shall not terminate MAP’S obligation to pay all payments due under Section 7.2 and 7.3 and other payments, which have accrued hereunder. The obligations of the Parties under Section 8 (Record Keeping, Audits and Reporting) excluding Section 8.4, Section 9 (Inventions, Know-How and Patents), Section 10 (Infringement), Section 12 (Mutual Indemnification), and Section 13 (Confidentiality) of this Agreement shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. Such termination, relinquishment or expiration shall not relieve either Party from obligations that are expressly indicated to survive termination or expiration of the Agreement. Termination by a Party shall not be an exclusive remedy and all other remedies will be available to the terminating Party, in equity and at law.

16.    Dispute Resolution.

(a)      Arbitration. Except for disputes, controversies or claims relating to intellectual property rights or the scope of the license granted hereunder, any dispute, controversy or claim arising under, out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any subsequent amendments, or the validity, enforceability, construction, performance or breach thereof, shall be finally settled under the Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration rules then in force on the date of commencement of the arbitration by three (3) arbitrators appointed in accordance with those rules, provided that the arbitrators appointed have at least ten (10) years arbitration experience in the pharmaceutical industry; provided however if the parties mutually agree, such arbitration may be conducted by a single mutually agreeable arbitrator. The award rendered shall be final and binding on the parties. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The Parties agree that they will not request, and the arbitrators shall have no authority to award, punitive or exemplary damages against either Party. The costs of any arbitration, including administrative fees and fees of the arbitrators, shall be shared equally by the Parties, unless otherwise specified by the arbitrators. Each Party shall bear the cost of its own attorneys’ and expert fees; provided that the arbitrators may in their discretion award to the prevailing Party the costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing Party in connection with the arbitration proceeding.

(b)      Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. No dispute under this Agreement shall be referred to arbitration under Section 16(a) until the following procedures in this Section 16(b) have been satisfied. The chief executive officers of EIFFEL and MAP shall meet as soon as practicable, and as reasonably requested by either Party, to review any dispute with respect to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement or with respect to the performance of either Party under this Agreement. If the dispute is not resolved by the

chief executive officers by written mutual agreement within [ * ] after meeting to discuss the dispute, either Party may at any time thereafter provide the other Party written notice specifying the terms of such dispute in reasonable detail and notifying the other Party of its decision to institute arbitration proceedings under Section 16(a). Such arbitration shall be initiated within [ * ] of either Party providing written notice to the other Party of its intent to institute arbitration proceedings, unless mutually agreed by the Parties to extend such time.

(c)      Provisional Remedy. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of either Party to seek to obtain in any court of competent jurisdiction any equitable or interim relief or provisional remedy, including injunctive relief. Seeking or obtaining such equitable or interim relief or provisional remedy in a court shall not be deemed a waiver of this Agreement to arbitrate. For clarity, any such equitable remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive and are in addition to any other remedies that either Party may have under this Agreement or applicable law.

(d)      Disputes Related to Intellectual Property Rights and License Grants. Any and all disputes, controversies or claims relating to intellectual property rights or the scope of the licenses granted hereunder shall be subject to the courts of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 17.10. The Parties hereby consent to the exclusive venue and jurisdiction of such courts for such disputes, controversies or claims.

17.    Miscellaneous.

17.1.      Agency. Neither Party is, nor shall be deemed to be, an employee, agent, co-venturer or legal representative of the other Party for any purpose. Neither Party will be entitled to enter into any contracts in the name of, or on behalf of the other Party, nor will either Party be entitled to pledge the credit of the other Party in any way or hold itself out as having the authority to do so.

17.2.      Assignment. Except as otherwise provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any interest hereunder is assignable by any Party without the prior written consent of the other (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld following the conclusion of a party’s obligations under this Agreement); provided, however, that either Party may assign this Agreement and any interest hereunder in whole or in part, to any Affiliate. MAP may assign this Agreement to any successor by merger or sale of substantially all of its business unit to which this Agreement relates in a manner such that the assignor (if it continues as a separate entity) will remain liable and responsible for the performance and observance of all its duties and obligations hereunder. EIFFEL may not assign this Agreement to any successor by merger or sale of all or substantially all of its business unit without the prior written consent of the other Party.
