Transferee shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such written notice to inform Company, in writing, that it wishes to enter into good faith, arms’ length negotiations with Company to obtain such rights to such other product on commercially reasonable terms. If the Parties fail to reach agreement within sixty (60) days of receipt of Transferee’s notice of its desire to enter into good faith negotiations, then Company shall be free to enter into an agreement with a Third Party and this Section 2.2(e) shall be of no further force or effect.

 

2.3 Third Party License.

 

  (a)

The Parties acknowledge that as of the Effective Date the Company is party to the Existing Third Party Agreements pursuant to which the Company has acquired certain rights which do not include Company IP and that during the Term, Company may acquire Third Party IP that Covers a Compound or a Covered Product. Company shall upon the written request of Transferee use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain any consents or approvals necessary to obtain Control of Third Party IP (if any) pursuant to the Existing Third Party Agreements (or other Third Party Licenses entered into subsequent to the Effective Date) in the Territory. If Company obtains such Control (or if Company otherwise has Control of any Third Party IP), Company shall promptly notify Transferee, to that effect, together with notification of any applicable pass-through royalties and any other material terms related to such Third Party IP, and Transferee may, in its sole discretion, provide written confirmation to Company that it wishes to enter into a separate, written sublicense agreement for such Third Party IP that is consistent with and subject to the terms of the applicable Third Party License. As a condition to the grant of any such sublicense, Transferee, NovaMedica and/or the Permitted Transferee requesting such sublicense must assume all of Company’s royalty,

 

11


  other commercial financial and other material non-financial obligations under the applicable Third Party License that apply to the Territory and indemnify Company for any breaches of said obligations by Transferee. For clarity, unless and until Transferee provides such confirmation to Company and enters into a sublicense as described above, Transferee is not granted any rights by or from Company to any such Third Party IP and is not bound by any obligations under such Third Party License.

 

  (b) If Company (or any successor or any affiliate of a successor under common control of such successor) is relieved in whole or in part of any material and/or financial obligation under any Third Party Licenses which Third Party License is the subject of a sublicense between Transferee and Company, Company shall promptly so inform Transferee, and thereafter the sublicense between Company and Transferee shall automatically be deemed to be amended to relieve Transferee of its corresponding obligation(s) to Company to the same extent as Company (or its successor or any affiliate of its successor under common control of such successor) is relieved of its obligation(s) under the corresponding Third Party Licenses.

 

  (c) If after the Effective Date Company agrees to any amendment of a Third Party License which is the subject of a sublicense between Company and Transferee, that increases any obligations of Transferee under such sublicense, Transferee’s obligations under such amendment will apply only to the extent of Transferee’s obligation under the sublicense unless and until Transferee (or a Permitted Transferee) confirms in writing its agreement to be bound by any such amendment, and Company will bear any increase in such obligations due to such amendment up until Transferee (or a Permitted Transferee) agrees in writing to be bound by such further obligation(s).

 

  (d) Company shall promptly notify in writing Transferee of any notice of default under, or termination or amendment of, any Third Party License. Company shall not take any action or fail to take any action that would lead to termination in the Territory of any Third Party License with respect to which Transferee is granted a sublicense in accordance with this Section 2.3.

 

2.4 Retained Rights.

 

  (a) All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by each Party.

 

2.5 Registration of Assignment in the Territory.

 

  (a) Transferee and Company shall perform all actions required to ensure that the assignment of the Assigned IP to Transferee (the “Assignment”) is approved, registered, recorded, or noticed with the applicable Governmental Body in each country in the Territory where such approval, registration, recordation, or notice is required, and that all other actions required under applicable Laws are taken to ensure that such Assignment is fully effective and enforceable.

 

  (b) DRI and Company shall each use all reasonable efforts to ensure that assignment to NovaMedica of all of the Assigned IP is completed within ninety (90) calendar days of the Effective Date of this Agreement.

 

  (c)

Company during the Term of this Agreement upon the Transferee’s reasonable request (subject to reimbursement to Company of any Out-Of-Pocket Expenses in connection therewith) shall file applications to register Company Patents (“Company Patent

 

12


  Applications) with the relevant Governmental Body in the Territory with respect to the Covered Products’, and/or Compounds’, Development and Commercialization, and promptly shall assign such Company Patent Applications to Transferee pursuant to this Section 2.5.

 

  (d) Without limiting the foregoing, Company shall (subject to reimbursement to Company of any Out-Of-Pocket Expenses in connection therewith) submit an application for registration of each Assignment to the Russian Federation with the Russian Federal Service for Intellectual Property, Patents and Trademarks (“Rospatent”) (with respect to any Company Patents requiring such registration under applicable Russian Law) and any similar Governmental Body in other countries in the Territory (with respect to any Company Patents requiring such registration under applicable Laws of such countries) within thirty (30) calendar days after the Effective Date of this Agreement and thereafter during the Term, and shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that such registration is completed as soon as practicable. Transferee shall provide such assistance as Company may reasonably require in completing any such Assignment registration.

 

2.6 Transfers by Transferee.

Transferee shall have the right to grant and authorize granting rights in the Territory under Company IP to a Third Party, subject to the following conditions (the compliance with which shall result in such Third Party being deemed a “Permitted Transferee”):

(a) Transferee shall promptly (and in any event no later than thirty (30) days) inform Company of the transfer or granting of any license or sublicense of any portion of the Company IP in the Territory to any Permitted Transferee, and together with such information shall provide to Company a true and complete copy of the applicable transfer agreement, provided that Transferee or a Permitted Transferee shall have the right to redact from such copies portions thereof that are unrelated to the Covered Products or are not necessary for Company to verify the consistency of the particular transfer, license, or sublicense agreement with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) Each such transfer agreement shall be in writing and shall be expressly subject to, and require full compliance with, the material terms and provisions of, this Agreement.

(c) Each transfer, license or provision of rights by Transferee or a Permitted Transferee with respect to the rights granted under this Agreement, above, shall be subordinate to, consistent with, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (and, in the case of such rights subject to an Existing Third Party Agreement or subsequent Third Party License, shall be subordinate to, consistent with and subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable sublicense granted by Company in accordance with Section 2.3).

(d) In the event that this Agreement is terminated for any reason, any sublicense granted by Transferee to a Permitted Transferee shall, at the election of such Permitted Transferee, survive such termination, provided such Permitted Transferee is and has been in full compliance with the terms of its sublicense under this Agreement at the time this Agreement is terminated, and confirms to Company in writing that it shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If such conditions are satisfied, upon termination of this Agreement, Company shall automatically be deemed to have entered into a license agreement with such Permitted Transferee and to have granted a license under Licensed IP (a “Direct License”) directly to such Permitted Transferee. Each Direct License shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as those in such Sublicense Agreement, including but not limited to scope, sublicense territory, duration of sublicense grant,

 

13


financial and diligence obligations, in each case to the extent that such sublicense agreement provisions are not in conflict with the terms of this Agreement or applicable Law. In no event shall Company (a) be liable to Permitted Transferee for any actual or alleged breach of such sublicense agreement by Transferee or (b) have any obligations to such Permitted Transferee other than Company’s obligations to Transferee as set forth herein. At a Permitted Transferee’s request, Company as soon as practicable shall sign license agreement with such Permitted Transferee to memorialize the terms of the Direct License, which written agreement shall be fully consistent with this Section 2.6(d) and such sublicense agreement. Each Permitted Transferee shall be an intended third party beneficiary of this Section 2.6, to the extent such Permitted Transferee elects to receive a Direct License.

 

2.7 Retained Rights; No Implied Rights. Company expressly retains all rights with respect to the Development, Manufacture, and Commercialization of the Compounds and any Covered Product for any use or Indication both inside and outside the Field in any country or other political subdivision outside of the Territory, and under this Agreement does not grant, assign, or otherwise convey any right, title, or interest to Transferee with respect to the foregoing except otherwise provided in this Agreement or approved by Company in writing. Each Party acknowledges that the rights and licenses granted under this Article 2 and elsewhere in this Agreement are limited to the scope, including Field and Territory, expressly granted.

15


  and necessary to conduct Clinical Trials of Covered Product in the Territory; provided that any such purchase does not reasonably interfere with Company having sufficient supplies of Compounds and/or Covered Products on hand for use in Development (including the conduct of Clinical Trials) or Commercialization outside of the Territory.

Transferee shall provide Company with timely copies of all material communications from applicable patent offices in the Territory as well as provide the Company with timely drafts of any material communication, filings, and submissions proposed to be sent to any patent office in the Territory sufficient to permit Company a reasonably opportunity to comment thereon, which comments Transferee will reasonably consider.

Company agrees to provide Transferee with all information necessary or desirable to enable Transferee to comply with the duty of candor/duty of disclosure requirements of any patent authority.

 

19


  (c) No obligation. For avoidance of doubt, Transferee reserves the right (i) to select and use its own trademarks for Commercialization of the Covered Products in the Territory, and (ii) to elect to not use or pay expenses for any of the Company Marks.

 

  (d) Election not to Prosecute or Maintain the Company Patents. If a prosecuting Party elects not to Prosecute or Maintain a Company Patent in any country or jurisdiction within the Territory, then it shall inform the other Party in writing at least ninety (90) calendar days before any final deadline applicable to the filing, prosecution, or maintenance of such Patent Right, as the case may be, or any other date by which an action must be taken to establish or preserve such Patent Right in such country or jurisdiction. In such case, by no later than thirty (30) calendar days before any final deadline applicable to the filing, prosecution, or maintenance of such Patent Right, or any other date by which an action must be taken to establish or preserve such Patent Rights in such country or jurisdiction, the other Party (or its designee) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pursue the filing or support the continued Prosecution and Maintenance of such Patent Right in such country or jurisdiction, at such other Party’s (or its designee’s) expense.

 

  (e) Joint Patents. The Parties shall promptly disclose any potentially patentable Joint Invention to the JDC. Once the JDC has determined that a Patent Right should be filed corresponding to the Joint Invention, Company shall have the first right to be responsible for and control the preparation of a priority application disclosing and claiming (as applicable) the Joint Invention (Joint Patent). Company shall provide Transferee with a draft of the proposed filing, permitting Transferee the opportunity to provide comments. The Parties shall share equally in the cost of preparing the priority application, and shall coordinate to ensure that all deadlines are met, including any foreign filing deadline. Subsequent to the national phase filing deadline, Transferee (or its designee(s)) shall have the first right to be responsible for, and control the Prosecution and Maintenance of the Joint Patent throughout the Territory, and Company shall have the first right to be responsible for, and control the Prosecution and Maintenance of the Joint Patent outside of the Territory. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate in Prosecution and Maintenance of the filings each Party controls. The Parties shall keep each other advised of the status of all material communications to and from applicable patent offices, actual, and prospective filings or submissions regarding Joint Patents, and shall give the other Party an opportunity to review and comment in advance on any such communications, filing, and submissions proposed to be sent to any patent office. If Transferee (or its designee(s)) elects in its sole discretion not to Prosecute and Maintain a Joint Patent in any country or jurisdiction in the Territory, then it shall inform Company in writing at least ninety (90) calendar days before any deadline applicable to the filing, prosecution, or maintenance of such Joint Patent, as the case may be, or any other date by which an action must be taken to establish or preserve such Joint Patent in such country or jurisdiction, and in such case Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pursue the filing or support the continued Prosecution or Maintenance of such Joint Patent in the Territory. Each Party agrees to provide the other Party with all information necessary or desirable to enable the prosecuting party for any Joint Patent to comply with the duty of candor/duty of disclosure requirements of any patent authority.

  (g) Patent Term Restoration. Company and Transferee (or, as the case may be, Permitted Transferee) will cooperate with each other in obtaining patent term restoration or supplemental protection certificates or their equivalents in any country in the Territory where applicable to Assigned IP and Joint Patents. In the event that elections with respect to obtaining such patent term restoration are to be made, Company shall determine the matter.

 

7.2 Enforcement of Patent Rights.

 

  (a) Notice. If either Party believes that the Assigned IP or a Joint Patent is being infringed in the Territory by a Third Party or if a Third Party claims that any Assigned IP or a Joint Patent within the Territory is invalid or unenforceable (collectively, “Infringing Activities”), the Party possessing such knowledge or belief shall notify the other Party and provide it with details of such infringement or claim that are known by such Party. As between the Parties, the right to enforce such the Assigned IP or Joint Patent with respect to such infringement, or to defend any declaratory judgment action with respect thereto, or to compromise or settle such infringement claim or declaratory judgment action, in each case to the extent the same pertains to Infringing Activities (each, an “Enforcement Action”) shall be as set forth in this Section 7.2. For purposes of this Agreement, “Initiating” or to “Initiate”, with respect to an Enforcement Action, refers to bringing an infringement claim or defending a declaratory judgment action, or compromising or settling such infringement claim or allegation or declaratory judgment action, within any country or jurisdiction in the Territory.

 

  (b) Right to bring an Action. Transferee shall have the first right to attempt to abate Infringing Activities within the Territory, including by taking and controlling an Enforcement Action with respect to the Assigned IP and Joint Patents. If Transferee does not intend to prosecute or defend an Enforcement Action, Transferee shall promptly inform Company. If Transferee does not take an Enforcement Action with respect to such an infringement or claim within ninety (90) days following notice thereof or a request by Company to do so, Company shall have the right to take and control an Enforcement Action in the name of either or both Parties after notifying Transferee of the same. The Party taking such Enforcement Action shall have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for any suit it initiates pursuant to this Section 7.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Transferee has tried to prosecute or defend an Enforcement Action in the Territory, and the competent court has denied Transferee standing to prosecute or defend, then Company shall, upon Transferee’s request, prosecute, or defend such Enforcement Action, at Transferee’s expense. For clarity, Transferee will have no right to enforce a Patent Right solely Controlled by Company outside of the Territory even in the event Company opts not do so.

 

  (c)

Costs of an Action/Cooperation. Subject to the respective indemnity obligations of the Parties set forth in Article 10 of this Agreement, the Party (or its Affiliate or Permitted Transferee) taking an Enforcement Action under this Section 7.2 shall pay all costs associated with such Enforcement Action, other than (subject to Section 7.2(e), below) the expenses of the other Party if the other Party elects to join such

 

21


  Enforcement Action. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in any Enforcement Action. The non-enforcing Party shall have a reasonable opportunity for meaningful participation in decision-making and formulation of enforcement strategy. The non-enforcing Party will be entitled to be represented by independent counsel of its own choice at its own expense, and shall cooperate with and assist the enforcing Party at the expense of and as the enforcing Party reasonably requests. Each Party (or an Affiliate or Permitted Transferee of such Party) shall, at its own expense, have the right to join an Enforcement Action taken by the other Party.

 

  (d) Settlement. Neither Party (nor an Affiliate or Permitted Transferee) shall settle or consent to any judgment or otherwise compromise any Enforcement Action by admitting that any claim or patent within the Assigned IP or a Joint Patent is invalid or unenforceable without the other Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and, (i) in the case of Company, Company may not settle or otherwise compromise an Enforcement Action in a way that adversely affects or would be reasonably expected to adversely affect Transferee’s or Permitted Transferee’s rights or benefits hereunder in the Territory with respect to the Covered Product, and (ii) in the case of Transferee, Transferee (or any Permitted Transferee) may not settle or otherwise compromise an Enforcement Action in a way that adversely affects or would be reasonably expected to adversely affect Company’s Patent Rights or benefits outside of the Territory. For clarity, any limit on Company’s right to settle is limited to claims or actions in the Territory.

 

  (e) Reasonable Assistance. The Party not taking an Enforcement Action shall provide reasonable assistance to the other Party (or the other Party’s Affiliate or Permitted Transferee), including providing access to relevant documents (subject to confidentiality obligations and privilege) and other evidence and making its reasonably employees available, subject to the other Party’s (or the other Party’s Affiliate’s or Permitted Transferee’s) reimbursement of any Out-of-Pocket expenses incurred by the non-enforcing or non-defending Party in providing such assistance.

 

  (f) Distribution of Amounts Recovered. Any amounts recovered by the Party (or its Affiliate or Permitted Transferee) taking an Enforcement Action pursuant to this Section 7.2, whether by settlement or judgment, shall first be applied to pro-rata reimbursement of the unreimbursed legal fees and expenses incurred by the Parties in such Enforcement Action, and any remainder shall be distributed to the Party taking or controlling the Enforcement Action.

 

7.3 Defense of Infringement Claims.

 

  (a) Notice. If a Party becomes aware of any claim or action by a Third Party against either Party that claims that the Covered Product, or its Development or Commercialization infringes such Third Party’s intellectual property rights in the Territory (each, a “Third Party Action”), such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of all details regarding such claim or action that is reasonably available to such Party.

 

  (b)

Right to Defend. Transferee shall have the first right, at its sole expense, but not the obligation, to defend a Third Party Action through counsel of its choosing, subject to Section 7.3(c), below.

  (or a Permitted Transferee) declines or fails to assert its intention to defend such Third Party Action within sixty (60) days of receipt/sending of notice under Section 7.3(a), above, then Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend such Third Party Action to the extent legally permissible. The Party defending such Third Party Action shall have the sole and exclusive right to select its counsel for such Third Party Action.

 

  (c) Consultation. The Party (including Transferee or Permitted Transferee) defending a Third Party Action pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be the Defending Party. The Defending Party shall consult with the non-Defending Party on all material aspects of the defense. The non-Defending Party shall have a reasonable opportunity for meaningful participation in decision-making and formulation of defense strategy. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in all such actions or proceedings. The non-Defending Party will be entitled to be represented by independent counsel of its own choice at its own expense, and shall cooperate with and assist the Defending Party at the expense of and as the Defending Party reasonably requests.

 

  (d) Appeal. In the event that a judgment in a Third Party Action is entered against the Defending Party and an appeal is available, the Defending Party shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to file such appeal. In the event the Defending Party does not desire to file such an appeal, it will promptly, within a reasonable time period (i.e., with sufficient time for the non-Defending Party to take whatever action may be necessary) prior to the date on which such right to appeal will lapse or otherwise diminish, permit the non-Defending Party to pursue such appeal at such non-Defending Party’s own cost and expense. If applicable Law requires the other Party’s involvement in an appeal, the other Party shall be a nominal party of the appeal and shall provide reasonable cooperation to the appealing Party at the appealing Party’s expense.

 

  (e) Costs of an Action. Subject to the respective indemnity obligations of the Parties set forth in Article 10, below, the Defending Party shall pay all costs associated with a Third Party Action, other than the expenses of the other Party if the other Party elects to join such Action. Each Party shall have the right to join a Third Party Action defended by the other Party, at its own expense.

 

7.4 No Settlement Without Consent. A Defending Party shall not settle or otherwise compromise any Third Party Action without the non-Defending Party’s prior written consent, and, (i) in the case of Company, Company may not settle or otherwise compromise a Third Party Action in a way that adversely affects or would reasonably be expected to adversely effect Transferee’s rights and benefits hereunder with respect to Development and Commercialization of Covered Products within the Territory, and (ii) in the case of Transferee, Transferee may not settle or otherwise compromise an Enforcement Action in a way that adversely affects or would reasonably be expected to adversely effects Company’s rights or benefits outside of the Territory.

  (i) Transferee, NovaMedica or a Permitted Transferee or any of their respective Affiliates (A) exports out of the Territory for commercial purposes any quantity of material of any Compound or Covered Product, (B) Develops or Manufactures any Compound or Covered Product for Commercialization outside the Territory, (C) otherwise Commercializes any Compound or Covered Product outside the Territory or (D) directly or indirectly assists, licenses or otherwise permits any Third Party to do any of the foregoing; or

 

  (ii)

Transferee or a Permitted Transferee, without prior written consent of Company, initiates any judicial proceeding (except if such judicial proceeding was initiated as a

 

32


  result of Third Parties Claims against Transferee or is required under applicable Law) to challenge or contest the validity and/or enforceability of any Company Patents anywhere in the world that claims the Compound or Covered Product, and does not withdraw, expressly abandon, dismiss, or otherwise cease to oppose the validity of Company Patent within the Cure Period.

 

  (f) Any dispute regarding a Fundamental Breach of this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with Article 12, below. Any consequences of termination described in this Article 11 shall only apply from and after such time as such termination has been upheld in a final judgment or arbitral decision from which no appeal can be taken, or that is unappealed with the time allowed for appeal, or such time as the Party allegedly in Fundamental Breach is no longer disputing such termination. For avoidance of doubt, in the event of such a dispute, during the course of the arbitration Company shall have the right to seek interim injunctive relief (including preliminary and/or temporary injunctive relief) in any court of competent jurisdiction to abate conduct giving rise to the Fundamental Breach claim.

 

11.4 Effects of Termination.

 

  (a) Termination of Rights. Upon any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.3, above, by Company, all licenses granted by Company under this Agreement (and any and all licenses and sublicenses granted by Transferee) shall terminate, and all Licensed IP shall revert to Company. Additionally, (i) Transferee shall thereafter be without any rights to Develop and/or Commercialize the Compound or Covered Products in the Territory, (ii) Transferee and any Permitted Transferee shall promptly cease and desist all such activities and all activities related thereto and immediately return all Covered Products and Company Materials to Company, and (iii) immediately and without further action on the part of Company, Transferee, or any Third Party, Company is hereby granted an exclusive, irrevocable, fully paid up, royalty-free license to all Assigned IP.

 

  (b) Return of Confidential Information. Upon termination, but not expiration, of this Agreement, each Party shall promptly return to the other Party, or delete or destroy, all relevant records and materials in such Party’s possession or control containing Confidential Information of the other Party; provided, however, that each Party shall be entitled to retain one (1) copy of the other Party’s Confidential Information (subject to a continuing obligation of confidentiality) for the sole purpose of monitoring compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and all Confidential Information received by Company may continue to be used by it insofar as it relates to the Company, any Covered Product or any Improvement.

 

  (c) Accrued Obligations. Termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not release either Party of any obligation or liability which, at the time of such termination, has already accrued to the other Party or which is attributable to a period prior to such termination.

 

  (d) Non-Exclusive Remedy. Termination of this Agreement by a Party shall be without prejudice to other remedies such Party may have at law or equity.

 

  (e) Survival. The provisions of Article 1 (Definitions), Article 7 (Prosecution and Maintenance; Enforcement and Defense), Article 8 (Confidentiality), Article 10 (Indemnification), Article 12 (Dispute Resolution) and Article 13 (Miscellaneous Provisions), shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Furthermore, any other provision that by its nature is intended to survive expiration and/or termination of this Agreement shall survive.

 

33

NovaMedica is designated as an intended third party beneficiary under this Agreement, and following execution of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, NovaMedica may independently and without prior notice or permission, enforce all rights of Transferee pursuant to such Agreement and such other agreements and instruments.

ARTICLE 12

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

The provisions of this Article 12 concern resolution of disputes between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, exclusive of disputes between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of the Clinical Development and Collaboration Agreement and other Ancillary Agreements (“Development Disputes”), which Development Disputes shall be resolved in accordance with dispute resolution procedures in the Clinical Development and Collaboration Agreement and other Ancillary Agreements.

 

12.1 Disputes. The Parties recognize that disputes as to certain matters may from time to time arise during the Term that relate to either Party’s rights and/or obligations hereunder. It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes relating to or arising under this Agreement in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to litigation. In the event that the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days from the day that one Party had designated to the other an issue as a dispute, then either Party shall have the right to escalate such issue to senior management as set forth in Section 12.2, below.

 

12.2 Escalation to Senior Representatives. Either Party may, by written notice to the other Party, request that a dispute that remained unresolved for a period of thirty (30) days as set forth in Section 12.1, above, be resolved by the chief executive officer of NovaMedica (or such person’s designee) (the “Transferee Representative”) and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (or such person’s designee) (the “the Company Representative”) (collectively, the “Representatives”) within sixty (60) days of the Representatives’ first consideration of such dispute, but in all cases within ninety (90) days after a Party’s written request for resolution by the Representatives. If the Representatives cannot resolve such dispute within such ninety (90) day period, either Party may proceed to enforce any and all of its rights with respect to such dispute in accordance with Section 12.3 or Section 12.4, below, as applicable.

 

12.3 Arbitration.

(a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with, this Agreement, including any dispute regarding the interpretation, validity or termination or the performance or breach of this Agreement, as well as any non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with it, which is not resolved by mutual agreement, above, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration under the Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (the LCIA) then in effect.

(b) The arbitration shall be conducted by arbitrators, of whom one shall be nominated by Transferee and one shall be nominated by Company. The two arbitrators so appointed shall nominate the third arbitrator, who shall act as chairman of the Arbitral Tribunal. In the event

 

34


that an arbitrator is not appointed pursuant to the foregoing provisions within the time period prescribed under the Rules of the LCIA or within the time-period agreed upon by the parties to the arbitration, upon request of either party to the arbitration, such arbitrator shall instead be appointed by the Court of the LCIA.

(c) The Parties shall use good faith efforts to complete arbitration under this Section 12.3 within one hundred eighty (180) days following the initiation of such arbitration. The Arbitral Tribunal shall permit full and complete discovery, both written and oral by deposition and shall establish reasonable additional procedures to facilitate and complete such arbitration within such one hundred eighty (180) day period. The place of arbitration will be London, England. The language of the arbitration, and all proceedings thereunder, including all discovery (both written and oral) will be English.

(d) By agreeing to arbitration, the Parties do not intend to deprive any court of competent jurisdiction of its ability to issue any form of provisional remedy, including but not limited to a preliminary injunction or attachment in aid of the arbitration, or order any interim or conservatory measure. A request for such provisional remedy or interim or conservatory measure by a Party to a court or other government entity shall not be deemed a waiver of this agreement to arbitrate.

(e) The award rendered by the Arbitral Tribunal, which shall cover which party shall bear the costs of the arbitration in accordance with subsection (e) below, shall be final and binding on the parties. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(f) The costs of such arbitration, including administrative and fees of the arbitrators comprising the arbitration panel, shall be shared equally by the Parties, and each Party shall bear its own expenses and attorney’s fees incurred in connection with the arbitration; provided, however, that the arbitration panel may direct that the costs and attorney fees paid by one party be reimbursed by the other party. The arbitration panel shall consider the following factors in determining whether to award costs and attorney fees to be paid by one party to another party: (i) the conduct of the parties in the transactions or occurrences that gave rise to the dispute or claim, including any conduct of a party that was reckless, willful, malicious, in bad faith or illegal; (ii) the objective reasonableness of the claims and defenses asserted by a party; (iii) the extent to which an award of costs and attorney fees would deter future bad faith claims or defenses; (iv) the objective reasonableness of the parties and the diligence of the parties and their attorneys during the proceedings; (v) the objective reasonableness of the parties and the diligence of the parties in pursuing settlement of the dispute; and (vi) such other factors as the arbitration panel may consider appropriate under the circumstances.

 

12.4 Provisional Remedies. 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, pending resolution under Sections 12.1, 12.2 or 12.3, above, as applicable, that may be necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party. Seeking or obtaining such equitable or interim relief or provisional remedy in a court shall not be deemed a waiver of the 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.

 

12.5 Remedies. In the event a Party is in breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and the breach is not remedied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the other Party shall be entitled to all remedies available in law or equity, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, collection of damages, injunctive relief, and specific performance.

13.7 Entire Agreement of the Parties; Amendments.
