(b) Each Party shall furnish, at the request of the other Party, a certificate of insurance evidencing that such insurance is in effect. Each Party will provide the other Party [***] days prior written notice of cancellation or non-renewal in the insurance required by this Agreement.

ARTICLE XV
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 15.1 Dispute Resolution

If a controversy or claim should arise hereunder, and if a dispute resolution provision is not otherwise provided herein for settlement of such controversy or claim, appropriate representatives of the Parties will confer at least once and will attempt to resolve the matter. Except as specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, if the matter has not been resolved within [***] of their first meeting, the representatives shall refer the matter to appropriate Commercial Officers. If the matter has not been resolved within [***] after referral to the Parties Commercial Officers, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be settled as set forth in Section 15.1(b) set forth immediately below, if both Parties agree.
*** | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
46
(b) If and as the Parties agree to submit any dispute to arbitration which has not been resolved as set forth in Section 3.5 or any other relevant provision hereof, such dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS) Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, as such rules may be modified by this Section 15.1(b) or by agreement of the Parties. The Parties shall mutually select a single independent, conflict-free arbitrator, who shall have sufficient background and experience to resolve the matter in dispute. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement on the selection of the arbitrator within [***] after submission of a dispute to arbitration, then either or both Parties shall immediately request JAMS to select an arbitrator with the requisite background, experience and expertise. Notwithstanding the applicable JAMS rules, (i) the arbitrator shall resolve the dispute as expeditiously as reasonably possible, and in any event no later than [***] following referral of the dispute to the arbitrator and (ii) the arbitrator shall resolve the dispute in a manner that is fair and reasonable to the Parties in light of the totality of the circumstances and the terms of this Agreement. The place of arbitration shall be [***], and all proceedings and communications shall be in English. Either Party may apply to the arbitrator for interim injunctive relief or may seek from any court having jurisdiction any injunctive or provisional relief necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party pending resolution of the matter pursuant to this Section 15.1(b). The Parties shall have the right to be represented by counsel. Any judgment or award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the Parties, and shall be governed by the terms and conditions hereof, including the limitation on damages set forth in Section 11.2. The Parties agree that such a judgment or award may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The statute of limitations of the [***] applicable to the commencement of a lawsuit shall apply to the commencement of arbitration under this Section 15.1(b). Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses and attorneys fees and, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties or determined by the arbitrator, the Party that does not prevail in the arbitration proceeding shall pay the arbitrators fees and any administrative fees of arbitration. All proceedings and decisions of the arbitrator(s) shall be deemed Proprietary Information of each of the Parties, and shall be subject to Article XII. For the avoidance of doubt, disputes arising on issues within the jurisdiction of a Committee shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.5, and any dispute arising hereunder for which there is a specific dispute resolution procedure provided herein which is expressly intended to be final shall only be settled by application of such procedure and not by resort to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Section 15.1.

Section 15.3 Severability
Should one or more provisions of this Agreement be or become invalid or unenforceable, the Parties hereto shall substitute, by mutual consent, valid and enforceable provisions for such invalid or unenforceable provisions which new provisions, in their economic and other effects, are sufficiently similar to the invalid or unenforceable provisions that it can be reasonably assumed that the Parties would have originally entered into this Agreement with such new provisions. In case such new provisions cannot be agreed upon, the invalidity or unenforceability of one or several provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of this Agreement as a whole or the validity of any portions hereof, unless the invalid or unenforceable provisions are of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that one or both of the Parties would not originally have entered into this Agreement without such invalid or unenforceable provisions.
Section 15.4 Entire Agreement
This Agreement, together with the schedules and exhibits hereto and the documents referred to herein, all of which are incorporated by reference, contains all of the terms agreed to by the Parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements, understandings or arrangements between them, whether oral or in writing. For the avoidance of doubt, the Confidentiality Agreement is superseded with respect to the subject matter hereof.
Section 15.5 Amendments
This Agreement may not be amended, modified, altered or supplemented except by means of a written agreement or other instrument executed by both of the Parties hereto. No course of conduct or dealing between the Parties will act as a modification or waiver of any provisions of this Agreement.
Section 15.6 Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original as against the Party whose signature appears thereon, but all of which taken together will constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 15.7 Waiver
The failure of either Party to enforce or to exercise, at any time or for any period of time, any term of or any right arising pursuant to this Agreement does not constitute, and will not be construed as, a waiver of such term or right, and will in no way affect that Partys right later to enforce or exercise such term or right or to enforce or insist upon performance of any other provision hereof.
Section 15.8 Force Majeure
(a) In the event of any failure or delay in the performance by a Party of any obligation under this Agreement due to events beyond the reasonable control of such

Party (such as, for example, fire, explosion, strike, inability to obtain transportation, fuel, or power, accident, act of God, declared or undeclared wars, or acts of terrorism) (a Force Majeure Event), then such Party shall have such additional time to perform as shall be reasonably necessary under the circumstances. For clarity, a Force Majeure Event shall not include a failure to commit sufficient resources, financial or otherwise, to the performance of obligations under this Agreement or general market or economic conditions not accompanied by circumstances of the type described in the first sentence of this Section 15.8. In the event of such failure or delay, the affected Party will use its diligent efforts, consistent with sound business judgment and to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, to correct and mitigate such failure or delay as expeditiously as possible. In the event that a Party is unable to perform by a reason described in this Section 15.8, its obligation to perform under the affected provision of this Agreement shall be suspended during such time of nonperformance.
(b) Neither Party shall be liable hereunder to the other Party nor shall be in breach for failure to perform its obligations caused by a Force Majeure Event unless and to the extent it fails to comply with its obligations under the third sentence of Section 15.8(a) above and, further, as long as the occurrence of any Force Majeure Event is not itself the result of any acts or omissions to act by a Party so affected that do not themselves constitute a Force Majeure Event. In the case of any such Force Majeure Event, the affected Party shall promptly, but in no event later than [***] after its occurrence, notify the other Party stating the nature of the condition, its anticipated duration, and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect. Furthermore, the affected Party shall keep the other Party informed of the efforts to resume performance. After [***] of such inability to perform, the Parties shall meet and discuss in good faith how to proceed.
Section 15.9 Successors and Assigns
Subject to Section 15.10, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted under this Agreement.
Section 15.10 Assignment
(a) This Agreement and the rights granted herein shall not be assignable (or otherwise transferred) by either Party hereto without the prior written consent of the other Party. Any attempted assignment without consent shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party may transfer, assign or delegate its rights and obligations under this Agreement without consent to (i) an Affiliate reasonably capable of performing such Partys obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) a successor to all or substantially all of its business or assets of the assigning Party to which this Agreement relates, whether by sale, merger, consolidation, acquisition, transfer, operation of law or otherwise. [***]. For the avoidance of doubt, any such assignment in connection with a Change of Control, whether permitted or not hereunder, shall not affect the right of any Party to terminate this Agreement as a consequence of a Change of Control of either Party pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.2(c)(iii).

(b) In connection with (i) any assignment pursuant to this Section 15.10 of this Agreement or any of the rights granted herein, or (ii) any subcontract permitted hereunder, the assignor or Party subcontracting shall ensure that the assignee or subcontractor represents and warrants the matters set forth (x) in Sections 9.1(g) and 9.1(h) (in substantially the same form as set forth in Sections 9.1(g) and 9.1(h)) where Zogenix (or one of its successors or assigns) is the assignor or subcontracting Party, or (y) in Sections 9.2(g) and 9.2(h) (in substantially the same form as set forth in Sections 9.2(g) and 9.2(h)), where Mallinckrodt (or one of its successors or assigns) is the assignor or subcontracting Party. Neither Party shall engage any Third Party appearing on the FDAs debarment list or the list of excluded individuals/entities of the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services to perform, or assist such Party in the performance of, its obligations under this Agreement, and each Party shall review each such list prior to so engaging any Third Party.
Section 15.11 Construction
The Parties acknowledge and agree that: (i) each Party and its representatives have reviewed and negotiated the terms and provisions of this Agreement and have contributed to its revision and (ii) the terms and provisions of this Agreement will be construed fairly as to each Party hereto and not in favor of or against either Party regardless of which Party was generally responsible for the preparation or drafting of this Agreement.

Section 15.12 Governing Law
This Agreement will be construed under and in accordance with, and governed in all respects by, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of law principles.
Section 15.13 Equitable Relief
Each Party acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under Section 2.3, and Article XII may not reasonably or adequately be compensated in damages in an action at law, and that such a breach may cause the other Party irreparable injury and damage. By reason thereof, each Party agrees that the other Party is entitled to seek, in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any breach of such Section and Article of this Agreement by the other Party; provided, however, that no specification in this Agreement of a specific legal or equitable remedy will be construed as a waiver or prohibition against the pursuing of other legal or equitable remedies in the event of such a breach. Each Party agrees

that the existence of any claim, demand or cause of action of it against the other Party, whether predicated upon this Agreement, or otherwise, will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the other Party, or its successors or assigns, of the covenants contained in this Agreement.

The Parties hereto are acting and performing as independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement creates the relationship of partnership, joint venture, sales agency, or principal and agent. Neither Party is the agent of the other, and neither Party may hold itself out as such to any other Person. All financial obligations associated with each Partys business will be the sole responsibility of such Party.
