Subject to the rights expressly reserved by SuperGen under the provisions of Section 2.1 and to the provisions of Section 2.4 below, each Party covenants and warrants that during the term of this Agreement, none of such Party, its Affiliates, and Licensees will, directly or indirectly, market, distribute, sell, offer to sell, import, or otherwise Commercialize any Competing Products, other than Licensed Product sold in the Territory on which royalties are payable under and in accordance with this Agreement; nor shall such Party, its Affiliates, and Licensees assist, fund, or license or authorize, any Third Party to do any of the foregoing.

 

2.4 Related Compound; Right of First Offer; Co-marketing. The Parties acknowledge that SuperGen is also performing additional development work on [*] or [*] comprising at least one base of the compound identified in Exhibit 1.10 (each a “Related Compound”).

If MGI fails to achieve such a Launch Milestone by the ninety (90) day period following receipt of Marketing Authorization as set forth in the sentence above, and if a milestone payment is specified in Section 3.1 for the related Diligence Milestone and has not previously been paid, then MGI shall pay to SuperGen within thirty (30) days after such failure the milestone payment set forth in Section 3.1 for the missed Launch Milestone and shall continue to use Diligent Efforts to meet the other milestones set forth in Section 3.1.

 

7.8.2 The Parties agree that, without limiting any other right or remedy of SuperGen hereunder SuperGen shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety (in the same manner as if MGI had materially breached this Agreement) pursuant to Section 14.3 if MGI has not achieved First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in a Major Country by December 31, 2008; provided, however, that SuperGen’s right to terminate pursuant to this Section 7.8.2 above, shall be tolled so long as at least one Phase III trial, or equivalent, for a Licensed Product for a Major Country (a “Registration Trial”) is ongoing on December 31, 2008, and MGI is using, and continues to use, Diligent Efforts to complete such Registration Trial(s) successfully and obtain a Marketing Authorization based upon such Registration Trial(s). SuperGen’s right to terminate under this Section 7.8.2 shall cease to be effective upon the earliest of such time as a Marketing Authorization in a Major Country is obtained on one of the Registration Trials that was ongoing on December 31, 2008, in which case SuperGen shall have no right to terminate under this Section 7.8.2.

Nothing in this Section 7.8.2 shall be construed to limit any other obligations of MGI under this Agreement or any other rights that SuperGen may have to terminate this Agreement (such as based upon a breach of the terms of this Agreement, other than this Section 7.8.2).

It is understood and agreed that SuperGen’s communication of the agreement’s basic purpose and scope shall be sufficient for MGI to review and decide whether to accept inclusion of such Third Party agreements following the date of signing hereof. With respect to the Supply Agreements, SuperGen will use reasonable efforts to seek a consent to assignment of the Manufacturing Agreement and such other amendments to its other agreements with Pharmachemie B.V. as may be prudent in SuperGen’s business judgement to ensure SuperGen’s compliance with the terms of such agreements, it being understood that “reasonable efforts” shall not include payment of any monetary or other consideration.

13.3 Procedure. A SuperGen Indemnitee or MGI Indemnitee, as the case may be, that intends to claim indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any Claim in respect of which the Indemnitee intends to claim indemnification under this Article 13. The Indemnitor shall have the sole right to control the defense and settlement of such Claim; provided, that the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense or settlement of such Claim with counsel of its own choosing at its expense.

The indemnity arrangement in this Article 13 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any action with respect to a Claim, if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any action with respect to a Claim, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Article 13 but the omission so to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability that it may have to any Indemnitee otherwise than under this Article 13.

Accordingly, this Agreement will be interpreted fairly in accordance with its terms and without any strict construction in favor of or against either Party.

 

16.2 Governing Law, Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial; Other Remedies; Injunctive Relief.

 

16.2.1. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the internal laws of the State of New York as applied to contracts entered into solely between residents of, and to be performed entirely within, such state, and without reference to principles of conflicts of laws or choice of laws.

16.2.2 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof brought by the other Party hereto or its successors or assigns shall be brought and determined in the Chancery or other Courts of the State of Delaware, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts.

 

16.2.3 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

16.2.5 Injunctive relief. Because of, among other things, the unique nature of the Licensed Patents, Decitabine Improvements and Licensed Know-How which are the subject of this Agreement, the potential that lost opportunity costs will not be quantifiable, and the fact that time is of the essence to the adequate development and marketing of the Licensed Products relating to the Licensed Patents, Decitabine Improvements and Licensed Know-How, the Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement, were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

If any provision hereof should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a valid, legal and enforceable substitute provision that most nearly reflects the original intent of the Parties and all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in order to carry out the intentions of the Parties hereto as nearly as may be possible. Such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. In the event a Party seeks to avoid a provision of this Agreement by asserting that such provision is invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, the other Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the asserting Party, unless such assertion is eliminated and the effect of such assertion cured within such sixty (60) day period. Any termination in accordance with the foregoing sentence shall be deemed a termination pursuant to Section 14.3 and the Party who made such assertion shall be deemed the breaching Party.

 

16.9 Publicity Review. Neither Party shall originate any written publicity, news release or other public announcement or statement relating to the announcement or terms of this Agreement (collectively, a “Public Disclosure”), without the prior review and written approval of the other Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may make any public Public Disclosure it believes in good faith based upon the advice of counsel is required by applicable law, rule or regulation or any listing or trading agreement concerning its or its Affiliates’ publicly traded securities; provided, however, that such Public Disclosure shall minimize to the extent possible the financial information disclosed, and that prior to making such Public Disclosure, the disclosing Party shall provide to the other Party a copy of the materials proposed to be disclosed and provide the receiving Party with an opportunity to promptly review the Public Disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties shall agree upon a joint press release to announce the execution of this Agreement, together with a corresponding Question & Answer outline for use in responding to inquiries about the Agreement; thereafter, MGI and SuperGen may each disclose the information contained in such press release and Question & Answer outline without the need for further approval by the other. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each Party shall have the right to disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement to the extent set forth in Section 11.5 above.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all obligations of SuperGen and MGI are subject to prior compliance with United States and foreign export regulations and such other United States and foreign laws and regulations as may be applicable, and to obtaining all necessary approvals required by the applicable agencies of the governments of the United States and foreign jurisdictions. SuperGen and MGI shall cooperate with each other and shall provide assistance to the other as reasonably necessary to obtain any required approvals.

 

16.12 Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS FURTHER SHALL NOT APPLY TO EITHER PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 13, OR EITHER PARTY’S BREACH OF ARTICLE 11. The Parties agree that nothing in this Section 16.12 shall in any way affect or impair the ability of the Parties to seek injunctive relief pursuant to Section 16.2 hereof.

 

16.13 No Solicitation. For a period of three (3) years after the Effective Date, each Party shall not, without the other Party’s prior written consent, solicit the employment of any person that is employed by such other Party or its Affiliate; provided that such restriction shall not prevent either Party from making solicitations of employment that are directed generally at Third Parties, whether or not employed by such other Party, and shall not prevent the hire of individuals responding to such general solicitations of employment.

 

16.14 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with all the Exhibits hereto constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the Parties with respect thereto, including any term sheet.
