10.2 Disclosure of Confidential Information.  Except as expressly permitted in this Section 10, during the Term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, the Recipient shall hold in confidence and shall not directly or indirectly disclose, communicate or in any way divulge to any person any Confidential Information, without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party.  The Recipient shall use such Confidential Information solely for the purposes of this Agreement.  The Recipient shall not provide or grant access to the Confidential Information to any Third Party, except the Recipient may disclose Confidential Information received by it under this Agreement only to those of its directors, officers, employees, agents and consultants, and the directors, officers, employees, agents and consultants of its Affiliates, who have a need to know such Confidential Information in the course of the performance of their duties and who are bound by a written agreement to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information.

 

10.3 Limitation on Obligations.  The obligations of the Recipient specified in Section 10.2 above shall not apply to any Confidential Information that:

 

(a) was in the public domain prior to the time of its disclosure under this Agreement;

 

(b) entered the public domain after the time of its disclosure under this Agreement through means other than an unauthorized disclosure resulting from an act or omission by the Recipient;

 

(c) is or was disclosed to the Recipient at any time, whether prior to or after the time of its disclosure under this Agreement, on a non-confidential basis by a Third Party, provided that such Third Party is not, to the Recipient’s knowledge, bound by an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party with respect to such Confidential Party;

 

(d) is independently developed by the Recipient without reference to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; or

 

(e) is required to be disclosed by the Recipient to comply with applicable laws or to comply with governmental regulations; provided, that the Recipient provides prior written notice of such disclosure to the Disclosing Party and takes reasonable and lawful actions to avoid and/or minimize the degree of such disclosure.

 

10.4 Equitable Relief.  The Recipient agrees that any breach of this Section 10 may cause the Disclosing Party substantial and irreparable damages and, therefore, in the event of any such breach, in addition to other remedies that may be available, the Disclosing Party shall have the right to seek specific performance and other injunctive and equitable relief.

 

10.5 Ownership of Confidential Information.  The Recipient agrees that the Disclosing Party (or any Third Party entrusting its own confidential information to the Disclosing Party) is and shall remain the exclusive owner of the Confidential Information disclosed to the Recipient and all patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property rights in such Confidential Information or arising therefrom.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no option, license, or conveyance of such rights to the Recipient is granted or implied under this Agreement.

 

 

 

11. Term and Termination.

 

11.1 Term.  Unless terminated sooner as provided in this Section 11, the initial term of this Agreement shall extend from the Effective Date for a period equal to ten (10) years from the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”). Parties agree to share and discuss market information during the term, to consider mutually acceptable performance requirements for a follow-on agreement, and to negotiate in good faith an extension or follow-on agreement at or before the expiration of the Initial Term. If the parties are unable to reach agreement and execute a mutually satisfactory follow-on agreement at or before the expiration of the Initial Term, a one (1) year extension will be granted solely for the purpose of servicing Biosara’ existing customers at the time of the expiration of the Initial Term.

 

11.2  Material Breach by BIOSARA.  Except as set forth in Section 11.3 below, the failure by BIOSARA to comply with any of its material obligations contained in this Agreement including without limitation its obligations to obtain Regulatory Approval and for Commercialization of Products under Section 5.1 herein, shall entitle QMT to give to BIOSARA written notice specifying the nature of the default and requiring it to cure such default.  If such default is not cured within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, then QMT shall be entitled, without prejudice to any of its other rights conferred on it by this Agreement and in addition to any other remedies available to it by law or in equity, to terminate this Agreement effective upon written notice to BIOSARA.  The right of QMT to terminate this Agreement, as hereinabove provided, shall not be affected in any way by its waiver or failure to take action with respect to any previous default.

 

11.3 BIOSARA’S Failure to Meet Minimum Royalties.  In the event that BIOSARA fails to pay to QMT a Minimum Royalty payment that is due in a particular quarter, QMT’s exclusive remedy for such failure (other than the collection of Royalties earned but not paid to QMT) shall be at its sole option, amendment of this Agreement to remove BIOSARA’S exclusive rights relative to the Products or termination of the Agreement.

 

Anything hereinbefore or hereinafter contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the remedies set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be the sole remedies available to QMT by reason of the failure of BIOSARA to pay to QMT Royalties equal to or greater than the Minimum Royalties set forth in Section 3.4 hereof.  The right of QMT to terminate this Agreement or convert the license in the Exclusive Territory to non-exclusive, as hereinabove provided, shall not be affected in any way by its waiver or failure to take action with respect to any previous default.

 

11.4 Material Breach by QMT.  The failure by QMT to comply with any of its material obligations contained in this Agreement shall entitle BIOSARA to give to QMT written notice specifying the nature of the default and requiring it to cure such default.  If such default is not cured within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, BIOSARA shall be entitled, without prejudice to any of its other rights conferred on it by this Agreement and in addition to any other remedies available to it by law or in equity, to terminate this Agreement effective upon written notice to QMT.  The right of BIOSARA to terminate this Agreement, as hereinabove provided, shall not be affected in any way by its waiver or failure to take action with respect to any previous default.

 

11.5 Bankruptcy.

 

(a) Either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately by providing written notice if the other Party: (a) applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself or of all or a substantial part of its assets, (b) becomes unable, or admits in writing its inability, to pay its debts generally as they mature, (c) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (d) is dissolved or liquidated in full or in substantial part, (e) commences a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or consents to such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession of its property by any official in such an involuntary case or such other proceeding commenced against it, (f) takes any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing, and (g) becomes the subject of an involuntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect that is not dismissed within ninety (90) days of commencement.

 

(b) QMT acknowledges that if QMT as a debtor-in-possession or a trustee in bankruptcy in a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code rejects this Agreement or any agreement supplementary hereto, BIOSARA may elect to retain its rights under this Agreement or any agreement supplementary hereto, as and to the extent provided in Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.   

 

 

11.6 Effect of Termination.

 

(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 11.2, 11.3, or 11.4 then (a) all licenses and rights granted to BIOSARA hereunder (except as set forth in Section 11.6(d) below) shall terminate and BIOSARA shall immediately cease to develop, manufacture, use and sell Products, and (b) BIOSARA shall be obligated to pay QMT any accrued Royalty payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.2, 11.3 or 11.4, BIOSARA shall be permitted to sell-off any and all inventory of Products existing at the date termination, provided that such sales occur within six (6) months after such termination, and provided further that BIOSARA remains obligated to pay actual Royalties and report to QMT on the sale of any such Products (the “Sell-Off Period”).  Any remaining inventory of Products after such Sell-Off Period shall be destroyed by BIOSARA at its sole expense.

 

(b) Without limiting any other legal or equitable remedies that QMT may have, if QMT terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.2 or 11.4, then, at the request of QMT, BIOSARA shall, as soon as reasonably possible and to the extent that it has the right to do so or is permitted by applicable law or the applicable Regulatory Authority, transfer to QMT or QMT’s designee possession and ownership of (i) all governmental or regulatory correspondence, conversation logs, filings and approvals (including all Regulatory Approvals) relating exclusively to BIOSARA’s development or Commercialization of the Product in the Field in the Territory, and (ii) copies of all data, reports, records and materials in BIOSARA’s possession or control relating exclusively to BIOSARA’s development or Commercialization of Products in the Field in the Territory, including all non-clinical and clinical data relating to the Product in the Field in the Territory, (iii), all agreements pertaining to contract research organizations (CROs), clinical trials and supply of material required to continue development of the Product.  BIOSARA shall execute all documents and take all such further actions as may be reasonably requested by QMT in order to give effect to the foregoing subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) herein.

 

(c) Any expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve BIOSARA from any obligation that accrued prior to such expiration or termination.  Any obligation under any provision of this Agreement which is intended to survive expiration or termination of this Agreement, including without limitation, Sections 1, 7.3, 7.4, 8, 9, 10, 11.5, 12 and 13 shall survive.

 

11.7 Challenge to Patent Rights.  If BIOSARA, directly or indirectly, by itself or through one of its Affiliates, brings any action or proceeding without "Cause" (defined below) challenging the validity, enforceability or an interference action of or with respect to any of the Patent Rights (a “Challenge”), then QMT shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time following such event upon written notice.  "Cause", for purposes of the preceding sentence, shall mean (i) any third party claim, action or suit filed or brought in any applicable court or through any administrative procedure against BIOSARA, or (ii) the withholding of payment for the Products by customers of BIOSARA, which in each case presented in clause (i) and/or (ii) above is predicated upon the invalidity of the Patent Rights, which has, or if successfully prosecuted could reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect upon BIOSARA.

 

12. Intellectual Property Rights.

 

12.1 Ownership of Intellectual Property.  QMT shall own all right, title and interest in the copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property rights in the Patent Rights and Know-how, including without limitation any derivatives, variations, and or Improvements thereto.

 

12.2 Ownership of Inventions.  Inventorship shall be determined in accordance with United States patent law at the time the inventor made the invention.  Each Party shall ensure that its employees, consultants, agents, and representatives are contractually required to assign to such Party all rights, title, and interest to any inventions, to maintain all Confidential Information, and to promptly disclose to such Party all such inventions.

 

(a) QMT Inventions.  QMT will have and retains sole and exclusive title to all inventions, developments, Improvements, discoveries and Know-how relating to the QMT Intellectual Property which are made, conceived or reduced to practice solely by QMT, its Affiliates, employees, consultants, agents or other Persons acting under its authority in the course of or as a result of this Agreement or in the course of any activities inside and outside the Field and Territory.

 

(b) BIOSARA Inventions.  In the event any invention, development, Improvement, discovery, or Know-how relating to the QMT Intellectual Property is made, conceived or reduced to practice by BIOSARA, its Affiliates, employees, consultants, agents or other persons acting under its authority in the course of, in connection with or as a result of this Agreement, either solely or jointly with QMT, an Affiliate or a Third Party, (each a “BIOSARA Invention”) such BIOSARA Invention shall be promptly disclosed by BIOSARA to QMT in writing.  All BIOSARA Inventions shall be owned by QMT and any Patent Rights under any BIOSARA Inventions shall be owned by QMT.  BIOSARA hereby assigns and agrees to assign all right, title, and interest to such BIOSARA Inventions to QMT, shall execute any documents reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes of this Section 12.2(b), and hereby appoints QMT as its attorney to execute and deliver any such documents on its behalf in the event the BIOSARA should fail or refuse to do so within a reasonable period following QMT’s request.  Any such BIOSARA Invention shall be subject to the license granted to BIOSARA under this Agreement. In the event that this Agreement is terminated the parties shall negotiate in good faith an arrangement equitable to both parties.

 

12.3 Prosecution of Patent Rights.  QMT, by counsel it selects, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain the Patent Rights in QMT’s name and in countries designated by QMT at the sole discretion of QMT.  QMT shall bear all the costs and expenses associated with the filing, prosecution and maintenance of such Patent Rights.

 

12.4 Third Party Infringement.  Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any alleged infringement of the Patent Rights and of any available evidence thereof.

 

(a) QMT shall have the first right, but not the obligation, under its own control and at its own expense, to prosecute any Third Party infringement of the Patent Rights and/or to defend the Patent Rights in any declaratory judgment or other action brought by a Third Party which alleges invalidity, unenforceability or non-infringement of the Patent Rights.  QMT may enter into any settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of any infringement or declaratory judgment action hereunder without the prior written consent of BIOSARA.  Any recovery or damages derived from any such action shall be retained by QMT.

 

(b) In the event QMT institutes a court proceeding relating to the infringement of the Patent Rights in the Field under Section 12.4(a), BIOSARA shall have the right to intervene in such proceeding and QMT shall not oppose such intervention, provided that (i) BIOSARA notifies the court and QMT of its intention to intervene within 180 days of the commencement of such proceeding, and (ii) BIOSARA shares equally with QMT the total costs incurred by QMT (including without limitation attorney and expert fees) of conducting such proceeding.  QMT shall retain control of the conduct and settlement of any such proceeding; provided, however, that no settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of such action may be entered into without the prior written consent of BIOSARA, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Any recovery of damages for any such proceeding (or settlement thereof) shall be applied first in satisfaction of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Parties relating to the proceeding (including without limitation attorney and expert fees) and the balance shall be equally divided between the Parties.

 

(c) In the event that QMT declines to commence legal action to defend against a declaratory action alleging invalidity of the Patent Rights or to prosecute infringements of the Patent Rights in the Field, QMT shall notify BIOSARA of its decision promptly in writing.  Thereafter, BIOSARA shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to commence legal action at its own expense to defend or prosecute such infringements relating to the Patent Rights in the Field.  No settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of the suit may be entered into without the consent of QMT, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  The total cost of any action commenced solely by BIOSARA shall be borne by BIOSARA, and BIOSARA shall retain any recovery or damages derived therefrom.

 

12.5 Infringement Allegations.  In the event that a Third Party asserts or alleges that a Product manufactured or sold by BIOSARA or its Affiliates infringes a patent or other proprietary right of such Third Party, BIOSARA shall assume the defense of such claim and shall indemnify QMT for all reasonable expenses and/or damages incurred by it as a result of such claim.  QMT may participate in the defense of such claim through counsel of its own choosing and at its sole expense.  In the event that QMT receives notice of such assertion or allegation, QMT shall notify BIOSARA of such allegation or assertion.  BIOSARA may enter into any settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary final disposition of any infringement action under this Section 10.5 in the Field; provided, however, that BIOSARA shall not enter into any settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition that admits or concedes that an aspect of the Patent Rights is invalid or unenforceable, without the prior written consent of QMT, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

12.6 Trademarks.  QMT is and shall remain the owner of all right, title and interest to the common law trademark and goodwill associated with the name “NIMBUS®,” and any other marks it develops in association with the QMT Intellectual Property (collectively, the “QMT Marks”) and BIOSARA agrees that it will not at any time assert or claim any interest in, nor register or attempt to register the QMT Marks or any marks confusingly similar thereto.  BIOSARA shall be responsible for the selection, registration and maintenance of all other trademarks and trade names that it employs in connection with Products (collectively, the “BIOSARA Marks).  QMT agrees that it will not at any time assert or claim any interest in, nor register or attempt to register the BIOSARA Marks or any marks confusingly similar thereto.

 

13. Miscellaneous.

 

13.1 Use of Name/Public Statements.  Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, each Party agrees that it will not at any time during or following termination of this Agreement use the name of the other Party or any names, insignia, symbols, or logotypes associated with the other Party or any variant or variants thereof or the names of the other Party’s employees orally or in any literature, advertising, or other materials without the prior written consent of Party whose name is to be used, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

13.2 Assignment.  This Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that either Party may, without such consent, assign this Agreement and any of its rights or obligations hereunder to its Affiliates or in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the portion of its business to which this Agreement relates, or in the event of its merger or consolidation or change in control or similar transaction; provided, further, that the assigning Party shall deliver written notice of any such permitted assignment to the other Party.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties and the name of a Party appearing herein shall be deemed to include the names of such Party’s successors and permitted assigns to the extent necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.  Any attempted assignment not in accordance with this Section 13.2 shall be void.

 

 

13.3 Independent Contractors.   QMT and BIOSARA shall at all times act as independent parties and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed or implied to create an agency or partnership.  Neither Party shall have the authority to contract or incur expenses on behalf of the other.

 

13.4 Notices.  Any notice or communication required or permitted to be given or made under this Agreement by one of the Parties hereto to the other shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or made for all purposes if sent by hand, recognized national overnight courier, confirmed electronic transmission, or mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to such other Party at its respective address as follows:
