Upon agreement of any such Supplement Scale-Up Plan and Salix’s direction to Glenmark to initiate the Supplement Scale-Up Plan, Glenmark agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts

[*] Confidential treatment requested.

 

17


to implement as promptly as possible the Supplement Scale-Up Plan. Until such time as Glenmark has been afforded a reasonable period of time to implement the Supplement Scale-Up Plan (the “Supplement Scale-Up Plan Effective Date”), Glenmark’s inability to supply Compound in excess of the then-current Augmented Amount shall not be construed as a material breach of this Agreement

(d) In connection with the implementation of the Agreed Scale-Up Plan or any Supplement Scale-Up Plan, Glenmark shall perform appropriate testing, consistent with standards and procedures commonly accepted for such purpose in the pharmaceutical industry, to permit the Parties to establish the Augmented Capacity resulting from the Agreed Scale-Up Plan or such Supplement Scale-Up Plan, as the case may be. Salix shall be entitled to observe, through its designees, any and all such testing and to receive the full and complete results of the same together with any analysis thereof or other information relating thereto that may be prepared, developed or obtained by Glenmark.

(e) In view of the substantial investment to be made by Glenmark towards implementation of the Agreed Scale-Up Plan pending the determination of the demand for the Compound and in view of the risk associated with the same as it being specifically for the Manufacture of Compound exclusively for Salix, Salix agrees and undertakes to pay Glenmark a commitment fee in the aggregate amount of twenty one million six hundred thousand United States dollars ($21,600,000) (the “Commitment Fee”). The Commitment Fee shall be payable to Glenmark by Salix in five equal annual installments ([*]) of four million three hundred twenty thousand United States dollars ($4,320,000) each, the first of such installments to become due on the first anniversary of the Amendment Effective Date and the remaining four installments each to become due on one of the second through fifth anniversaries of such date. The Advance contemplated by the Advance Agreement shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Advance Agreement against the amount of each such installment, with the result that the net amount remaining to be paid by Salix to Glenmark in respect of each such installment shall be one million three hundred twenty thousand United States dollars ($1,320,000). Each such installment amount shall be payable by Salix to Glenmark within [*] ([*]) days following the date of Salix’s receipt of an invoice from Glenmark for the specified amount. The Commitment Fee is in addition to the Purchase Price payable by Salix to Glenmark for Compound supplied by Glenmark to Salix hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 2.8(e) shall terminate upon any termination of this Agreement and Salix shall have no obligation to pay any installment in respect of the Commitment Fee that has not become due as of the date of such termination.

ARTICLE VIII. INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Glenmark Indemnification. Glenmark shall indemnify Salix, its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the “Salix Indemnified Parties”), and defend and hold each of them harmless, from and against any and all Third Party claims, lawsuits, losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by any of them in connection with, arising from or occurring as a result of Glenmark’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of this Agreement, except, in each case, for those Losses for which Salix has an obligation to indemnify the Glenmark Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.2, as to which Losses each Party shall indemnify the other Party to the extent of its respective liability for such Losses.

8.2 Salix Indemnification. Salix shall indemnify Glenmark, its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the “Glenmark Indemnified Parties”), and defend and save each of them harmless, from and against any and all Losses incurred by any of them in connection with, arising from or occurring as a result of (a) any Third Party Claim made by any Person that the Manufacture and supply of the Compound in accordance with the terms hereof infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates the patent, trademark or other intellectual property rights of such Person, (b) any Third Party Claim made by any Person relating to or arising out of death, personal injury, or other product liability, related to the marketing, sale, distribution or use of the Compound or the Product, and (c) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Salix or its subcontractors or agents, except, in each case, for those Losses for which

[*] Confidential treatment requested.

 

39


Glenmark has an obligation to indemnify the Salix Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.1, as to which Losses each Party shall indemnify the other Party to the extent of its respective liability for such Losses.

8.3 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Notice of Claim. The indemnified party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any Losses or discovery of facts upon which such Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under Section 8.1 or 8.2, but in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay in providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss are known at such time). The Indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the Indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses.

(b) Third Party Claims. The obligations of an Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII with respect to Losses arising from claims of any third Person that are subject to indemnification as provided for in Section 8.1 or 8.2 (a “Third Party Claim”) shall be governed by and be contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions:

(i) Control of Defense. At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against any Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the Indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by any Indemnified Party in connection with the Third Party Claim. Subject to Section 8.3(b)(ii), if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless a Salix Indemnified Party or Glenmark Indemnified Party, as applicable, from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) and any Losses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim with respect to such Salix Indemnified Party or Glenmark Indemnified Party, as applicable.

 

40


(ii) Right to Participate in Defense. Without limiting Section 8.3(b)(i), any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment shall be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense unless (A) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, (B) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 8.3(b)(i) (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense), or (C) the interests of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both parties under applicable law, ethical rules or equitable principles.

(iii) Settlement. With respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that will not result in the Indemnified Party’s becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affect the business of the Indemnified Party in any manner, and as to which the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the Indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate. With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.3(b)(i), the Indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss; provided that it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a Loss by an Indemnified Party that is reached without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, no Indemnified Party shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or dispose of, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(iv) Cooperation. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the Indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.

 

41


(v) Expenses. Except as provided above, the reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any Third Party Claim shall be reimbursed on a calendar quarter basis in arrears by the Indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the Indemnifying Party’s right to contest the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the Indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party.

8.4 Insurance.

(a) Salix shall maintain (i) comprehensive general liability insurance written on an occurrence basis with a combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage of not less than [*] United States Dollars ($[*]) and (ii) product liability/completed operations coverage with a per claim limit of not less than [*] United States Dollars ($[*]) (together, the “Salix Policies”).

(b) Glenmark shall maintain (i) comprehensive general liability insurance in the amount of [*] United States Dollars ($[*]) and (ii) public liability insurance in the amount of [*] United States Dollars ($[*]) (collectively, the “Glenmark Policies”).

(c) The Policies shall (i) be provided by an insurance carrier(s) acceptable to the other Party and (ii) show the other Party as additional named insured and loss payee, as its interests may appear. Certificates of insurance for the Policies shall be furnished to the other Party within ten (10) days after the Amendment Effective Date. The Policies shall remain in effect throughout the Term of this Agreement and shall not be canceled or subject to a reduction of coverage or any other modification without the prior written authorization of the other Party.

8.5 Limitation on Damages.

(a) EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OF A PARTY, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOST PROFITS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE.

(b) EXCEPT FOR EACH PARTY’S RESPECTIVE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 8.1 AND 8.2 AND GLENMARK’S OBLIGATIONS IN RESPECT OF THE COMPOUND EQUIPMENT UNDER SECTION 2.13(d), EACH PARTY’S TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER THIS

[*] Confidential treatment requested.

 

42


AGREEMENT SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY SALIX TO GLENMARK DURING THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT GLENMARK’S LIABILITY FOR RECALLS PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.17 SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE RECEIVED BY GLENMARK FOR THE BATCH(ES) GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY.
