9.8.

Taxes and Withholding.

9.8.1

Withholding Taxes. The Parties agree that all charges under this Agreement are inclusive of all Taxes imposed or payable to any Tax Authority except value added, sales, consumption, goods and services taxes or other similar taxes required by Applicable Law to be disclosed as a separate item on the relevant invoice including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tax imposed in compliance with the Council Directive of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (EC Directive 2006/112) (“Indirect Tax”). All amounts payable by one Party (the “Payor”) to another (the “Payee”) pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid by the Payor without any deduction of any taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments, fees, and other similar charges (“Tax Deduction”) unless the Payor is required to make a Tax Deduction by Applicable Law. For clarity, the Payee alone shall be responsible for paying to the appropriate Tax Authority all Taxes levied on account of, or measured in whole or in part by reference to, any payments the Payee is entitled to receive. Subject to the foregoing, where the Payor is required to make a Tax Deduction by Applicable Law from a payment, the Payor shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed, and in the amount required, by Applicable Law. The Payor shall notify the Payee in writing at least [***] before any payment is due where it expects to make any Tax Deduction. Such notification shall contain sufficient details to enable the Payee, acting reasonably, to ascertain whether it is entitled under a tax treaty or otherwise to any reduction or elimination of such Tax Deduction. If the Payee is entitled under any applicable tax treaty to a reduction in the rate of, or the elimination of, a Tax Deduction, it may deliver to the Payor or the appropriate Tax Authority (with the assistance of the Payor to the extent that this is reasonably required) the prescribed forms necessary to reduce the applicable rate of such Tax Deduction or to relieve the Payor of its obligation to make such Tax Deduction, and the Payor shall apply the reduced rate of Tax Deduction, or make that payment without a Tax Deduction, as the case may be, provided that the Payor has received evidence, in a form reasonably satisfactory to it, of the Payee s delivery of all applicable forms at least [***] prior to the time that the payments are due. Within [***] of making a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Payor shall deliver to the Payee evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Payee that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant Tax Authority. If a Payor makes a Tax Deduction while the Payee is entitled under any applicable tax treaty to a reduction in the rate of, or the elimination of, such Tax Deduction, the Payor shall cooperate with the Payee with respect to any documentation or procedural formalities required by the appropriate Tax Authority or reasonably requested by the Payee to secure a reduction in the rate of, or the elimination of, such Tax Deduction or to obtain a recovery of that Tax Deduction from the applicable Tax Authority.

9.8.2

Indirect Taxes. All payments under this Agreement are stated exclusive of Indirect Taxes. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to report and claim refunds or exemptions from any such value added tax imposed on the transactions contemplated in this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and to timely file all required Indirect Tax returns. If any Indirect Taxes are chargeable in respect of any payments due under this Agreement, the Payor shall pay such Indirect Taxes at the applicable rate in respect of any such payments following the receipt, where applicable, of a valid invoice issued in the appropriate form by the Payee in respect of those payments to which such Indirect Taxes relate, such Indirect Taxes to be payable on the due date of the payment to which such Indirect Tax relates. The Parties shall issue invoices for all goods and services supplied under this Agreement consistent with the law governing such Indirect

34


Tax and irrespective of whether the sums may be netted for settlement purposes, and to the extent any invoice is not initially issued in an appropriate form the Parties shall cooperate to provide such information or assistance as may be necessary to enable the issuance of such invoice consistent with the law governing such Indirect Tax. Where a supply is cancelled or the value of a supply under this Agreement is adjusted the supplying Party shall issue to the recipient an adjustment note or other such document in accordance with the law governing such Indirect Tax. If any Indirect Tax originally paid or otherwise borne by the paying Party is in whole or in part subsequently determined not to have been chargeable, all necessary steps will be taken by the receiving Party to receive a refund of these undue Indirect Taxes from the applicable Tax Authority and any amount of undue Indirect Taxes repaid by such authority to the receiving Party will be transferred to the paying Party within [***] of receipt. Where under the terms of this Agreement one Party is liable to indemnify or reimburse another Party (or an Affiliate of that other Party) in respect of any costs, charges or expenses, the payment shall include an amount equal to any Indirect Tax thereon not otherwise recoverable by the other Party (or its Affiliate), subject to that Party or Affiliate using all reasonable endeavors to recover such amount of Indirect Tax as may be practicable.

9.9.

Late Payments.  If any payment due to either Party under this Agreement is not paid when due, then the receiving Party shall be entitled to charge interest thereon (before and after any judgment) at an annual rate equal to the lesser of (a) [***] percent ([***]%) above the Reference Rate, and (b) the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Law. Any interest will accrue from day-to-day and is calculated based on the actual number of days elapsed from the payment due date to the actual payment date and a year of 365 days. Interest is compounded daily. “Reference Rate” means [***]. “[***]” means [***].

9.10.

Currency Conversion.  The rate of exchange to be used in computing the amount of currency equivalent in Dollars shall be made at the average of the closing exchange rates reported by The Wall Street Journal (New York edition) for the first, middle and last Business Days of the last calendar month of the applicable reporting period for the payment due.

9.11.

Blocked Payments.  If, by reason of Applicable Law in any country, it becomes impossible or illegal for a Party or any of its applicable Affiliates or Sublicensees to transfer, or have transferred on its behalf, any payments to the other Party, then the payer Party will promptly notify the payee Party of the conditions preventing such transfer and such royalties or other payments will be deposited in local currency in the relevant country to the credit of the payee Party in a recognized banking institution designated by the payee Party or, if none is designated by the payee Party within a period of [***], in a recognized banking institution selected by the payor Party and identified in a notice given to the payee Party pursuant to Section 16.5 (Notices).

9.12.

Payment Method.  All payments to be made by a Party to the other Party under this Agreement will be made in Dollars by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by such other Party.

9.13.

Financial Audits.  Yarrow shall (and shall ensure that its Affiliates and Sublicensees will) maintain complete and accurate records relating to the sales and other dispositions of the Licensed Products in accordance with Accounting Standards and in sufficient detail to permit GenSci to confirm the accuracy of Net Sales reported by Yarrow and amounts payable under this Agreement, provided, however, that a Sublicensee’s failure to maintain such records shall not be deemed a breach by Yarrow of its foregoing obligation, so long as Yarrow used commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Sublicensee to maintain such records. Upon no less than [***] prior written notice, such

35


records shall be open for examination, during regular business hours, for a period of [***] from the creation of individual records, and not more often than [***] each Calendar Year, by an independent certified public accountant selected by GenSci and reasonably acceptable to Yarrow, for the sole purpose of verifying for GenSci the accuracy of the Net Sales or royalty reports provided by Yarrow under this Agreement under appropriate confidentiality provisions. GenSci shall bear the cost of such audit unless such audit reveals an underpayment by Yarrow of more than [***] in which case, Yarrow shall reimburse GenSci for the costs of such audit. Yarrow shall pay to GenSci any underpayment discovered by such audit within [***] after the accountant’s report, plus interest (as set forth in Section 9.9 (Late Payments)) from the original due date. Yarrow shall include in each relevant sublicense granted by it a provision requiring the Sublicensee to maintain records of sales of Licensed Products made pursuant to such sublicense [***].

CONFIDENTIALITY

11.1.

Confidentiality.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the Receiving Party will, during the Term and for a period of [***] thereafter, keep the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party confidential using at least the same degree of care with which the Receiving Party holds its own Confidential Information (but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care) and will not (a) disclose such Confidential Information to any Person without the prior written approval of the Disclosing Party, except solely to the extent necessary to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement, to its employees, Affiliates, sublicensees, and Subcontractors, consultants, or agents who have a need to know such Confidential Information, all of whom will be similarly bound by confidentiality, non-disclosure, and non-use provisions at least as restrictive or protective of the Parties as those set forth in this Agreement and for whom the Disclosing Party will be responsible, or (b) use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement. The Receiving Party will cause the foregoing Persons to comply with the restrictions on use and disclosure set forth in this Section 11.1 (Confidentiality) and will be responsible for ensuring that such Persons maintain the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in accordance with this ARTICLE 11 (Confidentiality). Each Party will promptly notify the other Party of any misuse or unauthorized disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information.

11.2.

Terms of this Agreement.  Except as otherwise provided in this ARTICLE 11 (Confidentiality), each Party agrees not to disclose to any Third Party the terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that each Party may disclose the terms of this Agreement to the extent such disclosure is permitted under Section 11.4 (Authorized Disclosures).

11.3.

Exceptions.  Information will not be Confidential Information, and the foregoing confidentiality and non-use obligations will not apply to any such information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate by competent written proof:

11.3.1

was already known to the Receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party;

11.3.2

was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the Receiving Party;

11.3.3

became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure and other than through any act or omission of the Receiving Party in breach of this Agreement;

11.3.4

is subsequently disclosed to the Receiving Party by a Third Party who has a legal right to make such disclosure; or

11.3.5

is subsequently independently discovered or developed by the Receiving Party without the aid, application, or use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, as evidenced by a contemporaneous writing.

11.4.

Authorized Disclosure.  Notwithstanding the obligations set forth in Section 11.1 (Confidentiality), a Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information and the terms of this Agreement to the extent:

40


11.4.1

to its Affiliates, sublicensees, subcontractors or licensees, and their employees, directors, agents, consultants, or advisors to the extent necessary for the potential or actual performance of its obligations or exercise of its rights under this Agreement, in each case, who are under an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information that is no less stringent than the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE 11 (Confidentiality);

11.4.2

such disclosure is reasonably necessary: (a) to perform an obligation or exercise a right under the Agreement; (b) for the filing or prosecution of Patent Rights as contemplated by this Agreement; (c) in connection with regulatory filings for the Licensed Products; or (d) for the prosecuting or defending litigation as contemplated by this Agreement;

11.4.3

such disclosure is reasonably necessary: (a) to such Party’s directors, attorneys, independent accountants or financial advisors for the sole purpose of enabling such directors, attorneys, independent accountants or financial advisors to provide advice to the Receiving Party, provided that in each such case on the condition that such directors, attorneys, independent accountants and financial advisors are bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations consistent with those contained in this Agreement; or (b) to actual or bona fide potential investors, acquirors, licensors, sublicensees, collaborators or other business or financial partners (including royalty financing partners) solely for the purpose of evaluating or carrying out an actual or potential investment, acquisition, license, collaboration, financing or other business transaction; provided that in each such case ((a) or (b)), such recipients are bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations consistent with those contained in the Agreement; or

11.4.4

such disclosure is required by Applicable Law, or judicial or administrative process (also including disclosures pursuant to Section 11.4.2(d)), provided that in such event such Party will promptly inform the other Party of such required disclosure and provide the other Party an opportunity to challenge or limit the disclosure obligations. Confidential Information that is disclosed pursuant to this Section 11.4.4 and Section 11.4.2(d) will remain otherwise subject to the confidentiality and non-use provisions of this ARTICLE 11 (Confidentiality), and the Receiving Party disclosing Confidential Information pursuant to Applicable Law or a valid court order as permitted under this Section 11.4.4 and Section 11.4.2(d) will (a) take all steps reasonably necessary, including seeking of confidential treatment or a protective order to ensure the continued confidential treatment of such Confidential Information, and (b) limit its disclosure to only the portion of Confidential Information it is legally required to disclose.

11.5.1

Press Release. The Parties agree to issue a press release announcing this Agreement on such date and time and in such form as may be mutually agreed by the Parties. Subject to the rest of this Section 11.5 (Publicity), no disclosure of the terms of this Agreement may be made by either Party, and no Party will use the name or any Trademark of the other Party, its Affiliates or their respective employee(s) in any publicity, promotion, news release or disclosure relating to this Agreement or its subject matter, without the prior express written permission of the other Party, except as may be required by Applicable Law or the rules of a stock exchange on which the securities of the other Party are listed (or to which an application for listing has been submitted). In the event a Party is, in the opinion of its counsel, required by Applicable Law or the rules of a stock exchange on which its securities are listed (or to which an application for listing has been submitted) to make such a public disclosure, such Party will submit the proposed disclosure in writing to

41


the other Party [***] so as to provide a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon. Following the initial press release announcing this Agreement, either Party will be free to disclose or publicize, without the other Party’s prior written consent, the existence of this Agreement, the identity of the other Party, and those terms of this Agreement that have already been publicly disclosed in accordance herewith.

11.5.2

Stock Exchange Disclosures. A Party may disclose this Agreement and its terms in securities filings with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (or any equivalent foreign agency) (“SEC”) to the extent required by Applicable Law after complying with the procedure set forth in this Section 11.5 (Publicity). In such event, the Party seeking such disclosure will prepare a draft confidential treatment request and proposed redacted version of this Agreement to request confidential treatment for this Agreement, and the other Party agrees to promptly (and in any event, no less than [***] after receipt of such confidential treatment request and proposed redactions) give its input in a reasonable manner in order to allow the Party seeking disclosure to file its request within the time lines proscribed by applicable SEC regulations. The Party seeking such disclosure will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment of any information concerning this Agreement that such other Party requests be kept confidential, and shall only disclose Confidential Information which it is, as advised by counsel, reasonably required to be disclosed.

11.5.3

Legally-Required Disclosures. Each Party acknowledges that the other Party may be legally required to make public disclosures (including in filings with the SEC or other agency) of the other Party’s Confidential Information regarding certain material developments or material information generated under this Agreement and agrees that each Party may make such disclosures as required by Applicable Law, provided that the Party seeking such disclosure first provides the other Party a copy of the proposed disclosure, and provided further that [***].

11.6.

Prior CDA.  This Agreement supersedes the Confidentiality Agreement between GenSci and [***] effective as of [***] (the “Prior CDA”) with respect to information disclosed thereunder.

11.7.

Equitable Relief.  Each Party acknowledges that a breach of this ARTICLE 11 (Confidentiality) cannot reasonably or adequately be compensated in damages in an action at law and that such a breach will cause the other Party irreparable injury and damage. By reason thereof, each Party agrees that the other Party will be entitled, in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, to preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any breach of the obligations relating to Confidential Information set forth herein.

11.8.

Return or Destruction of Confidential Information.  Upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement, at the Disclosing Party’s instruction, the Receiving Party shall, either (a) as soon as reasonably practicable, destroy all copies of such Confidential Information in the possession of the Receiving Party and confirm such destruction in writing to the Disclosing Party or (b) as soon as reasonably practicable, deliver to the Disclosing Party, at the Receiving Party’s expense, all copies of such Confidential Information in the possession of the Receiving Party; provided that the Receiving Party shall be permitted to retain one (1) copy of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for the sole purpose of performing any continuing obligations or exercising any surviving rights hereunder, as required by Applicable Laws or for archival purposes.

42


Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to require the Receiving Party to alter, modify, delete or destroy any electronic copy of files created automatically in the ordinary course of business pursuant to the Receiving Party’s standard electronic back-up and archival procedures so long as such electronic files are (i) maintained only on centralized storage servers (and not on personal computers or devices), and (ii) not readily accessible by the Receiving Party’s representatives (other than its information technology specialists). Notwithstanding the time period specified in Section 11.1 (Confidentiality), any Confidential Information so retained under this Section 11.8 (Return or Destruction of Confidential Information) shall remain subject to the obligations of confidentiality and non-use set forth in this ARTICLE 11 (Confidentiality) insofar as such information is retained by the Receiving Party.

11.9.

If Yarrow intends to make a Publication, Yarrow shall provide GenSci with such proposed Publication [***] prior to submission date of the manuscripts or intended date of public disclosure, as applicable. GenSci shall have the right to review and comment on such proposed Publication, and Yarrow shall in good faith, consider such comments made by GenSci. If such proposed Publication contains any Confidential Information of GenSci, then upon GenSci’s request, Yarrow shall delete any such information identified by GenSci.

INDEMNIFICATION

13.1.

Indemnification by Yarrow.  Yarrow will indemnify and hold harmless GenSci, its Affiliates, and their directors, officers, employees and agents (individually and collectively, the “GenSci Indemnitee(s)”) from and against all losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) payable to Third Parties (individually and collectively, “Losses”) incurred in connection with any claims, demands, actions or other proceedings by any Third Party (“Claims”) to the extent arising from:

47


13.1.1

any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation made by Yarrow or its Affiliates or Sublicensees in this Agreement;

13.1.2

the Development, Manufacture and Commercialization or other Exploitation of the Licensed Products in the Territory by or on behalf of Yarrow or any of its Affiliates, or Sublicensee, including product liability claims relating to the Licensed Molecules or Licensed Products; or

13.1.3

[***];

except to the extent such Losses arise out of [***].

13.2.

Indemnification by GenSci.  GenSci will indemnify and hold harmless Yarrow, its Affiliates, and its and their directors, officers, employees, consultants, and agents (individually and collectively, the “Yarrow Indemnitee(s)”) from and against all Losses incurred in connection with any Claims to the extent arising from:

13.2.1

any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation made by GenSci or its Affiliates in this Agreement;

the Development, Manufacture and Commercialization or other Exploitation of the Licensed Molecules or Licensed Products (a) anywhere in the world prior to the Effective Date, or (b) outside the Territory after the Effective Date, in each case, by or on behalf of GenSci or any of its Affiliates, licensees, or sublicensee, including product liability claims relating to the Licensed Molecules or Licensed Products; or

13.2.3

[***];

except in each case to the extent such Losses arise out of [***].

13.3.

Indemnification Procedure.  If either Party is seeking indemnification under Section 13.1 (Indemnification by Yarrow) or Section 13.2 (Indemnification by GenSci) (the “Indemnified Party”), it will inform the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the Claim giving rise to the obligation to indemnify pursuant to such Section within [***] after receiving notice of the Claim (it being understood and agreed, however, that the failure or delay by an Indemnified Party to give such notice of a Claim will not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party will have been prejudiced as a result of such failure or delay to give notice). The Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the defense of any such Claim for which it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party’s insurer as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense. The Indemnified Party will have the right to participate, at its own expense and with counsel of its choice, in the defense of any Claim that has been assumed by the Indemnifying Party. Neither Party will have the obligation to indemnify the other Party in connection with any settlement made without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Parties cannot agree as to the application of Section 13.1 (Indemnification by Yarrow) or Section 13.2 (Indemnification by GenSci) as to any Claim, pending resolution of the dispute pursuant to ARTICLE 15 (Dispute Resolution), the Parties may conduct separate defenses of such Claim, with each Party retaining the right to claim indemnification from the other Party in accordance with Sections 13.1 (Indemnification by Yarrow) or 13.2 (Indemnification by GenSci) upon resolution of the underlying Claim.

48


13.4.

Mitigation of Loss.  Each Indemnified Party will take and will procure that its Affiliates take all such reasonable steps and action as are reasonably necessary or as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably require in order to mitigate any Claims (or potential losses or damages) under this ARTICLE 13 (Indemnification). Nothing in this Agreement will or will be deemed to relieve any Party of any common law or other duty to mitigate any losses incurred by it.

13.5.

Limitation of Liability.  NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 13.5 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY) IS INTENDED TO OR WILL LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE AMOUNTS PAID TO THIRD PARTIES [***].

13.6.

Insurance.  Each of the Parties will, at their own respective expense procure and maintain [***], insurance policies adequate to cover their obligations hereunder and consistent with the normal business practices of prudent pharmaceutical companies of similar size and scope. Each Party will provide the other Party with a certificate of such insurance upon reasonable request of the other Party. Such insurance will not be construed to create a limit of either Party’s liability under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 14

TERM AND TERMINATION

14.1.

Term.  This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to this ARTICLE 14 (Term and Termination), will remain in effect until it expires (a) on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis, upon the expiration of the Royalty Term for such Licensed Product in such country, and (b) in its entirety, upon the expiration of all Royalty Terms for all Licensed Products in all countries in the Territory (the “Term”). Upon the expiration (but not earlier termination) of the Royalty Term with respect to a Licensed Product in a particular country, the license granted by GenSci to Yarrow pursuant to Section 2.1.1 (License Grant to Yarrow) with respect to such Licensed Product in such country will become fully paid-up, royalty-free, irrevocable, and perpetual, and [***].

14.2.

Termination.

14.2.1

Termination by Yarrow for Convenience. After the [***], Yarrow may terminate this Agreement [***], at its sole discretion and for any or no reason at any time by providing [***] advance written notice of such termination to GenSci.

14.2.2

Termination for Material Breach. Subject to Section 14.2.3 (Disputes Regarding Material Breach), either Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) may terminate this Agreement [***], in the event the other Party (the “Breaching Party”) has materially breached this Agreement, and such material breach has not been cured within [***] after receipt of written notice of such breach by the Breaching Party from the Non-Breaching Party (such [***] period, the “Cure Period”). The written notice describing the alleged material breach will provide reasonably sufficient detail to put the Breaching Party on notice of such material breach. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14.2.2 (Termination for Material Breach) will become effective at the end of the Cure Period, unless the Breaching Party has cured any such material breach prior to the expiration of such Cure Period, or, if and only if a material breach (other than a breach of

49


a payment obligation) is not curable prior to the expiration of the applicable Cure Period, then such Cure Period will be extended so long as the Breaching Party has provided to the Non-Breaching Party a written plan that is reasonably calculated to effect a cure of such material breach, [***].

14.2.3

Disputes Regarding Material Breach. For any breach other than a breach of a payment obligation only, if the Parties reasonably and in good faith disagree as to whether there has been a material breach, then the Breaching Party that disputes whether there has been a material breach may contest the allegation in accordance with ARTICLE 15 (Dispute Resolution), and the applicable Cure Period will toll upon the initiation of such dispute resolution procedures. If, as a result of such dispute resolution process, it is finally determined pursuant to ARTICLE 15 (Dispute Resolution) that the Breaching Party committed a material breach of this Agreement, then the applicable Cure Period will resume and unless such alleged breach was cured during the pendency of such Cure Period (once resumed), this Agreement will terminate effective as of the expiration of such Cure Period. This Agreement will remain in full force and effect during the pendency of any such dispute resolution proceeding and all Cure Periods. Any such dispute resolution proceeding will not suspend any obligations of either Party hereunder and each Party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate any damages. Any payments that are made by one Party to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement pending resolution of the dispute will be promptly refunded [***]. If, as a result of such dispute resolution proceeding, it is determined that the Breaching Party did not commit such material breach (or such material breach was cured in accordance with Section 14.2.2 (Termination for Material Breach)), then no termination of this Agreement will be effective, and this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.

14.2.4

Termination for Insolvency. Each Party will have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon written notice to the other Party in the event that the other Party undergoes any Insolvency Event.

14.2.5

Termination for Patent Challenge.

(a)

If Yarrow or any of its Affiliates directly, or indirectly through any Third Party, [***] with respect to, any Licensed Patent Rights (each, a “Patent Challenge”), GenSci shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to:

(i)

[***]; or

(ii)

upon written notice to Yarrow, terminate this Agreement in its entirety.

(b)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 14.2.5 (Termination for Patent Challenge) will not apply to any such Patent Challenge that is [***].

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

15.1.

Disputes.  The Parties recognize that disputes as to certain matters may from time to time arise during the Term which relate to either Party’s rights or obligations hereunder. It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of disputes arising under this Agreement in an expedient manner by cooperation and without resort to litigation.

15.2.

In such event, the Parties shall cause their Executive Officers (or their designees) to meet and be available to attempt to resolve such dispute.

15.3.

Binding Arbitration.

15.3.1

Arbitration Proceeding. If the Parties fail to resolve the dispute through escalation to the Executive Officers under Section 15.2 (Internal Resolution), and a Party desires to pursue resolution of the dispute, the dispute will be submitted by either Party for resolution by arbitration administered by the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) pursuant to

ICC’s arbitration rules and procedures then in effect. The seat of arbitration will be New York City, New York, U.S. The language of the arbitration will be English.

Within [***] after initiation of arbitration, each Party shall select one person to act as arbitrator and the two Party-selected arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator (who shall be the chairperson of the arbitration panel) within [***] of their appointment. If the arbitrators selected by the Parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by ICC. [***].

15.3.2

Injunctive Relief. By agreeing to arbitration, the Parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue, at the request of a Party, a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment or other order to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo, preserve the subject matter of the dispute, or aid the arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any award. Without prejudice to such provisional or interim remedies in aid of arbitration as may be available under the jurisdiction of a competent court, the arbitral tribunal will have full authority to grant provisional or interim remedies and to award damages for the failure of any Party to the dispute to respect the arbitral tribunal’s order to that effect.

15.3.3

Confidentiality. The existence and content of the arbitral proceedings and any ruling or awards will be kept confidential by the Parties and members of the arbitral tribunal except (a) to the extent that disclosure may be required of a Party to fulfill a legal duty, protect or pursue a legal right, or enforce or challenge an award in bona fide legal proceedings before a court or other judicial authority, (b) with the consent of both Parties, (c) where needed for the preparation or presentation of a claim or defense in the arbitration, (d) where such information is already in the public domain other than a result of a breach of this clause, or (e) by order of the arbitral tribunal upon application of a Party.

15.3.4

Costs. Each Party will bear its own attorney’s fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and will pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the administrator and the arbitrator; [***].

15.3.5

Pending Disputes. During a pending dispute, where this Agreement has not yet been terminated, each Party shall continue to perform in good faith its obligations under this Agreement only to the extent that those obligations are related to non-disputed activities or only to satisfy regulatory requirements.

15.3.6

Intellectual Property Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15.3 (Binding Arbitration), in the event of a dispute with respect to the validity, scope, enforceability or ownership of any Patent Right or copyrights, and such dispute is not resolved in accordance with Section 15.2 (Internal Resolution), such dispute will not be submitted to an arbitration proceeding in accordance with this Section 15.3 (Binding Arbitration), unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, and instead either Party may initiate litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction in any country in which such rights apply.

The Parties will use reasonable efforts to agree on the Third Party Expert within [***] after either Party designates the dispute for mediation and arbitration. If the Parties cannot agree on a Third Party Expert within [***], each Party will nominate one Third Party expert within such [***] period, and the two Third Party experts selected will nominate the Third Party expert within [***] after their nomination, and such Third Party expert will be the Third Party Expert for purpose of this Section 15.4 (Baseball Arbitration).

Neither Party may have any other communications (either written or oral) with the Third Party Expert; provided that the Third Party Expert may, in its discretion, convene a hearing to ask questions of the Parties and hear oral argument arid discussion regarding each Party’s Proposed Terms and Support Memorandum, at which time each Party will have an agreed upon time to argue and present witnesses in support of its Proposed Terms.

15.4.3

Selection of Proposed Terms.

The Third Party Expert will make its decision known to both Parties as promptly as possible by delivering written notice to both Parties. The decision of the Third Party Expert will be final and binding on the Parties, and specific performance may be ordered by any court of competent jurisdiction provided that such decision is consistent with the express terms and conditions that are already agreed by Parties in this Agreement.
