11.3    Conditions and Limitations of Indemnification Obligation. A Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to either Section 11.1 or Section 11.2, will hereinafter be referred to as an “Indemnified Party.” A Party obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Party hereunder will hereinafter be referred to as an “Indemnifying Party.” In the event an Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification under either Section 11.1 or Section 11.2, the Indemnified Party shall inform the Indemnifying Party as soon as reasonably practicable after it receives notice thereof, it being understood and agreed that the failure by an Indemnified Party to give notice of a Third Party Claim as provided in this Section 11.3 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice. The Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume direction and control of the defense of Third Party Claim and, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, shall cooperate as reasonably requested in the defense of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel at its own expense; provided that, if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the cost of one counsel for the Indemnified Party (and all other Indemnified Parties in connection with the same Third Party Claim or multiple Third Party Claims arising out of the same events or circumstances). The Indemnifying Party may not settle such Third Party Claim, or otherwise consent to an adverse judgment in such Third Party Claim, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not require such consent with respect to the settlement of any Third Party Claim (i) where the sole relief provided is for monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, (ii) which would not materially diminish or limit or otherwise adversely affect the rights, activities or financial interests of the Indemnified Party, and (iii) which does not result in any finding or admission of fault by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party may not settle such Third Party Claim, or otherwise consent to an adverse judgment in such Third Party Claim, without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

12.1    Confidentiality; Exceptions. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties agree that the receiving Party (the “Receiving Party”) shall keep confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose or use for any purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement any information or other confidential and proprietary information and materials, patentable or otherwise, in any form (written, oral, photographic, electronic, magnetic or otherwise) which is disclosed to it by the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) or otherwise received or accessed by a Receiving Party in the course of performing its obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement, including trade secrets, Know-How, inventions or discoveries, proprietary information, formulae, processes, techniques and information relating to the Disclosing Party’s past, present and future marketing, financial and research, Development, Manufacturing, or Commercialization activities of any product or potential product or useful technology of the Disclosing Party (collectively, “Confidential Information”), except to the extent that it can be established by the Receiving Party that such Confidential Information: (a) was in the lawful knowledge and possession of the Receiving Party prior to the time it was disclosed to, or learned by, the Receiving Party, or was otherwise developed independently by the Receiving Party, as evidenced by written records kept in the ordinary course of business, or other documentary proof of actual use by the Receiving Party; (b) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the Receiving Party; (c) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure and other than through any act or omission of the Receiving Party in breach of this Agreement; or (d) was disclosed to the Receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, by a Third Party who had no obligation to the Disclosing Party not to disclose such information to others. All information disclosed under any confidentiality agreement entered into between Company and Licensee prior to the Effective Date relating to the Products, shall be deemed to be Confidential Information and such agreement shall be superseded by the terms hereof and terminated effective as of the Effective Date.

12.3    Disclosure of Agreement. Licensee shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees not to, issue any press release or other public disclosure regarding the Agreement or the Parties’ activities hereunder, or any results or data arising hereunder, except (a) with Company’s prior written consent, or (b) for any disclosure that is reasonably necessary to comply with applicable national securities exchange listing requirements or Applicable Law. The Parties agree to consult with each other reasonably and in good faith with respect to the text and timing of any such press releases prior to the issuance thereof, and Company may not unreasonably withhold consent to such releases. Company shall not issue an initial press release, or any subsequent press release or public disclosure that involves Licensee, except with Licensee’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. Except to the extent required by Applicable Law or as otherwise permitted in accordance with this Section 12.3, neither Party shall make any public announcements concerning this Agreement or the subject matter hereof without the prior written consent of the other, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement during the Term upon sixty (60) days’ notice if Licensee materially breaches this Agreement and does not cure such breach within sixty (60) days following written notice by Company, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Any termination by Company under this Section 13.2 may be made in Company’s sole discretion with respect to: (a) a Product (i.e. all Vabomere Products, Orbactiv Products, and/or Minocin IV Products); (b) the Licensed Territory in its entirety; or (c) in the case of a breach which is specific to a country in the Licensed Territory, such country. Effective upon such termination under clause (a), such Product shall be deemed a Terminated Product, and effective upon such termination under clause (c), such country shall be deemed a Terminated Country.

Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in whole or with respect to a Product (i.e. all Vabomere Products, Orbactiv Products, and/or Minocin IV Products) or on a country-by-country basis, during the Term upon sixty (60) days’ notice if Company materially breaches this Agreement with respect to such Product or country and does not cure such breach within sixty (60) days following written notice by Licensee. Effective upon such termination (a) with respect to a Product, such Product shall be deemed a Terminated Product; (b) with respect to a country, such country shall be deemed a Terminated Country.

13.4    Termination of Countries within the Licensed Territory.

(a)    If at any time during the Term following the one (1) year anniversary of the Effective Date, Company receives a bona fide offer from a Third Party to Develop and Commercialize any Product within the Field in the Licensed Territory, and at the time of Company’s receipt of such offer, (i) Licensee is not currently and actively Developing or Commercializing the applicable Product in the Field in such country, whether itself or through its Affiliates or Sublicensees, and (ii) either (A) the JSC has not approved a Licensee-submitted Development Plan or Commercialization Plan for such Product in such country, or (B) where the First Commercial Sale of such Product in the Field in such country has not occurred for a period of twelve (12) months despite having received a Regulatory Approval or Pricing Approval (whichever occurs later) for such Commercialization, then the Parties will meet and discuss in good faith Licensee’s intentions to Develop and Commercialize such Product in such country. If within six (6) months of the commencement of such discussions (x) Licensee elects not to Develop or Commercialize such Product in such country, (y) the JSC does not approve a Development Plan for such Product in such country, or (z) the First Commercial Sale of such Product in the Field in such country has not occurred despite having received Regulatory Approval or Pricing Approval (whichever occurs later) for such Commercialization, then Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in part with respect to such Product in such country immediately upon written notice, with each such Product deemed a Terminated Product and each such country deemed a Terminated Country. If the right to terminate this Agreement is exercised in accordance with Section 13.4, such exercise shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Company and in lieu of any other remedy under the laws or hereunder for the events having given rise to the right to terminate under this Section 13.4.

Either Company or Licensee may terminate this Agreement in the event that the other Party becomes insolvent or is subject to reorganization, winding up, dissolution, bankruptcy, liquidation proceedings, judicial or extrajudicial reorganization, or other similar Applicable Law now or thereafter in effect, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, during the Term of this Agreement. Termination under this Section 13.5 shall be effective immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that this Agreement is terminated or rejected by a Party or its receiver or trustee under applicable bankruptcy laws due to such Party’s bankruptcy then all rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by such Party to the other Party are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code and any similar law or regulation in any other country, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(52) of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

13.6    Effect of Termination. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, upon termination of this Agreement, in whole or in part with respect to a Terminated Product or a Terminated Country, the following consequences shall apply:

(a)    Licensee’s rights and each of Licensee and Company’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to each Terminated Product and each Terminated Country, as applicable, shall terminate, except as otherwise contemplated by this Section 13.6.

(b)    All Company Marks, trade names, Company Patents, copyrights, designs, drawings, formulas or other data, photographs, samples, literature, and sales and Educational aids of any kind related to a Terminated Product or a Terminated Country shall be the sole and exclusive property of Company.

Effective upon the termination of this Agreement, in whole or in part, Licensee shall cease to use all trademarks and trade names of Company with respect to the Terminated Country or Terminated Product, or with respect to the Terminated Product itself. In the event of the termination of this Agreement by Company pursuant to Section 13.2 or Section 13.4, Licensee hereby grants to Company a perpetual, exclusive license, with the right to sublicense, to use the Licensee Marks in connection with the Manufacture, Development, use and Commercialization of such Terminated Product in the Terminated Country, and upon termination of this Agreement in its entirety, in any country in the world. Company shall, on a country-by-country basis, pay Licensee a royalty of one percent (1 %) of Net Sales of each Terminated Product sold by Company under a Licensee Mark in a country within a Terminated Country.

(c)    Licensee shall not be released from paying any amount which may then be owed to Company.

(d)    All rights and title in and to any and all Regulatory Data and Regulatory Materials provided by or on behalf of Company to Licensee and any Regulatory Data and Regulatory Materials generated by or on behalf of Licensee on the basis of this Agreement shall immediately revert to Company, and Licensee shall have no residual rights to such data or materials. Company may, in its reasonable discretion in accordance with Applicable Law, appoint itself, an Affiliate or Third Party as successor to Licensee with respect to any applicable CTA, Regulatory Approval or Pricing Approval (the “Successor Entity”). Licensee shall and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to transfer and assign to Company or the Successor Entity, as applicable, all CTAs, Regulatory Approvals, Pricing Approvals, permits, filings and authorizations (including reimbursement authorizations), if any, obtained by or on behalf of Licensee, including those obtained from or on behalf of Company in connection with activities undertaken under this Agreement, not later than the effective date of such termination or as soon as practicable if this Agreement is terminated immediately without prior notice. Licensee shall and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to reasonably cooperate, at Company’s request and expense, in making any filings, executing any instruments or taking other actions reasonably necessary to make such transfer of the foregoing. In case the transfer is not allowed under Applicable Law, Licensee shall apply for the cancellation of the CTA, Regulatory Approval and/or Pricing Approval, as the case may be, simultaneously provide full cooperation to Company or its duly qualified designee in connection with the new application of the CTA, Regulatory Approval and/or Pricing Approval in Company’s (or its designee’s) own name. If for any reason Licensee fails to cooperate in connection with such transfer, or cancellation, pursuant to this Section 13.6, Licensee hereby authorizes Company to effect such transfer or cancellation on behalf of Licensee. Prior to the CTA, Regulatory Approval and/or Pricing Approval being issued by the Regulatory Authority in the name of Company or its designee, Licensee agrees to provide Company or its designee, within a reasonable time from receipt of Company’s written request, the necessary written authorizations, statements and documents required under Applicable Law for Company or its designee to, freely and without interruption, Develop and Commercialize any such Terminated Product in a Terminated Country under Licensee’s Regulatory Approval and/or Pricing Approval.

(f)    The termination of this Agreement for any reason shall be without prejudice to any rights that shall have accrued to the benefit of any Party prior to such termination, including the payment obligations hereunder and any and all Losses or remedies arising from any breach hereunder. Such termination shall not relieve any Party from obligations which are expressly indicated to survive termination of this Agreement.
