9.2     Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.
9.2.1 The Parties intend that any Loss subject to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Article 9 will be net of Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Loss. Accordingly, the amount which any Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Indemnitee will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of the related Loss. If an Indemnitee receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Loss and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds, then the Indemnitee will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.
9.2.2 An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a “wind-fall” (i.e., a benefit such insurer or other Third Party would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate any Person in any Group to seek to collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds.
9.2.3 Any Indemnity Payment made by the Company shall be increased as necessary so that after making all payments in respect to Taxes imposed on or attributable to such Indemnity Payment, each Pfizer Indemnitee receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such Taxes been imposed. Any Indemnity Payment made by Pfizer 









shall be increased as necessary so that after making all payments in respect to Taxes imposed on or attributable to such Indemnity Payment, each Company Indemnitee receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such Taxes been imposed.
9.3     rocedures for Indemnification of Third Party Claims.
9.3.1 If an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Third Party (including any Governmental Authority) of any claim or of the commencement by any such Third Party of any Action with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to Section 9.1, or any other Section of this Agreement (collectively, a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof as promptly as practicable (and in any event within forty-five (45) days) after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnitee or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 9.3 shall not relieve the related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article 9, except to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice.
9.3.2 An Indemnifying Party may elect (but shall not be required) to defend, at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee), any Third Party Claim; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to defend and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnitees if the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal action, indictment or allegation. Within forty-five (45) days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 9.3.1 (or sooner, if the nature of such Third Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee of its election whether the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for defending such Third Party Claim, which election shall specify any reservations or exceptions to its defense. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the expense of such Indemnitee; provided, however, in the event that (a) the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim but has specified, and continues to assert, any reservations or exceptions in such notice or (b) the Third Party Claim involves injunctive or equitable relief, then, in any such case, the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnitees shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party.
9.3.3 If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election as provided in Section 9.3.2, such Indemnitee may defend such Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. Any legal fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with defending such claim shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party at the then applicable regular rates charged by counsel, without regard to any flat fee or special fee arrangement otherwise in effect between such counsel and the Indemnitee.
9.3.4 Unless the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, no Indemnitee may settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party. If an Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim within the time period specified in Section 9.3.2 above, it shall not be a defense to any obligation to pay any amount in respect of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party was not consulted in the defense thereof, that such Indemnifying Party’s views or opinions as to the conduct of such defense were not accepted or adopted, that such Indemnifying Party does not approve of the quality or manner of the defense thereof or that such Third Party Claim was incurred by reason of a settlement rather than by a judgment or other determination of liability.
9.3.5 In the case of a Third Party Claim, no Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of the Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnitee if the effect thereof is (a) to permit any injunction, declaratory judgment, other order or other non-monetary relief to be entered, directly or indirectly, against any Indemnitee or (b) to ascribe any fault on any Indemnitee in connection with such defense.
9.3.6 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a written release from all Liability in respect of such Third Party Claim.
9.4     Additional Matters.
9.4.1 Any claim on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the related Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within 









such thirty (30) day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to make payment. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such Indemnitee as contemplated by this Agreement.
9.4.2 In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.
9.4.3 In the event of an Action in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party shall so request, the Parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant or otherwise hold the Indemnifying Party as party thereto, if at all practicable. If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying Party to manage the Action as set forth in this Section, and the Indemnifying Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant against all costs of defending the Action (including court costs, sanctions imposed by a court, attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees and all other external expenses), the costs of any judgment or settlement, and the cost of any interest or penalties relating to any judgment or settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim.
9.5     Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article 9 shall be cumulative and, subject to the provisions of Section 17.4, shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party
9.6     Survival of Indemnities. The indemnity contained in this Article 9 shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (a) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee; and (b) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Liabilities for which it might be entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Party and their respective Indemnitees under this Article 9 shall survive the termination of any license granted hereunder.
9.7     Intellectual Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections 9.1 through 9.6, in the event and to the extent that any Third Party Claim relates to or may affect or otherwise impair either Party’s or a Third Party’s ownership of or rights in or the validity or enforceability of or rights to use Intellectual Property hereunder, the prosecution and defense of such aspects of such Third Party Claim shall be governed by Article 12 and Article 13 to the extent that such Article addresses such prosecution or defense.

The Party that controls a Defense Action may not settle, or stipulate to any facts, or make any admission with respect to, a Defense Action without the other Party’s prior written consent; provided that, such consent shall not be required to the extent that the settlement does not (a) adversely affect the validity, enforceability, or scope of, or admit non-infringement of, if a Pfizer Licensor is the Controlling Party, any Patent Rights or Know-How exclusively licensed to a Company Licensee hereunder or if a Company Licensee is the Controlling Party, any Licensed IP, any New IP owned by a Company Licensee in accordance with Section 13.1.2 or Assigned Patent Rights (as applicable), (b) give rise to liability of such other Party or any of its Affiliates or with respect to the Company, Sublicensees, or (c) grant to a Third Party a license or covenant not to sue under, or with respect to, any Intellectual Property that the other Party or any of its Affiliates owns or to which the other Party or any of its Affiliates otherwise has rights.

16.2.1     Certain Immediate Termination Events. Except to the extent expressly waived or consented to in writing by a Party (in its sole discretion), this Agreement shall terminate immediately and without any requirement for notice to the other Party upon the event of: (i) the failure to pay when due and payable any principal, interest, or any other amount in excess of One Million U.S. Dollars ($1,000,000) in respect of any Company Material Indebtedness or Pfizer Material Indebtedness; (ii) any event of default with respect to any Company Material Indebtedness or Pfizer Material Indebtedness; (iii) any other event or condition that results in any Company Material Indebtedness or Pfizer Material Indebtedness becoming due prior to its scheduled maturity or that enables or permits (with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both) the holder or holders of any Company Material Indebtedness or Pfizer Material Indebtedness or any trustee or agent on its or their behalf to cause any Company Material Indebtedness or Pfizer Material Indebtedness to become due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity; (iv) the Company or Pfizer being authorized (whether by its board of directors or such other Person having authority to direct the Company or Pfizer, respectively) to commence or institute any bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or other similar proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law now or hereinafter in effect, including any section or chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code (as may be amended, the “Bankruptcy Code”) or under any similar laws or statutes of the United States or any state thereof or of any jurisdiction (whether or not in the United States) having authority or jurisdiction over the assets of such Party or in which such Party may operate or have assets; (v) the commencement or institution of any bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or other similar proceedings by or against a Party under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law now or hereinafter in effect, including any section or chapter of the Bankruptcy Code or under any similar laws or statutes of the United States or any state thereof or of any jurisdiction (whether or not in the United States) having authority or jurisdiction over the assets of such Party or in which such Party may operate or have assets; (vi) the institution of any reorganization, restructuring, arrangement, or other readjustment of debt plan of a Party not involving the Bankruptcy Code; (vii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, or similar party for all or substantially all of a Party’s assets related to this Agreement or that are provided to such Party pursuant to the terms hereof; or (viii) any corporate action taken by the board of directors of a Party or such other Person having authority to direct such Party in furtherance of any of the foregoing (i) through (vii).

16.2.4     Pfizer Termination of Third Party Agreements. In the event that any Pfizer Licensor decides to terminate any Third Party Agreement sublicensed to a Company Licensee under this Agreement, it will so advise such Company Licensee in writing at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of such termination so that such Company Licensee and its Affiliates shall have the opportunity to provide Pfizer with prompt written notice (which shall be provided no later than fifteen (15) days after such Pfizer Licensor provides such Company Licensee with notice of such termination) that such Company Licensee and its Affiliates would like to be assigned such Third Party Agreement and/or the applicable Pfizer Licensor’s and its Affiliates’ rights and obligations thereunder, in each case, to the extent necessary to continue to any development or commercialization activities being conducted as of the date of Pfizer’s notice of such 









termination. Upon receipt of such written notice from such Company Licensee, such Pfizer Licensor shall reasonably cooperate with such Company Licensee in connection with having such Third Party Agreement or rights or obligations thereunder assigned to such Company Licensee; provided that, in no event will such Pfizer Licensor or any of its Affiliates be obligated to breach such agreement or offer to pay or pay any money or offer to incur or incur any non-monetary obligations to have such Third Party Agreement assigned unless such Company Licensee first agrees in a writing reasonably acceptable to such Pfizer Licensor to pay such consideration and undertake all such obligations on such Pfizer Licensor’s behalf.

16.3     Effect of Expiration and Termination; Accrued Rights; Survival.
16.3.1     Payment. Within thirty (30) days of expiration or termination of this Agreement in part or in whole (or such later date with respect to those costs that are incurred but cannot be reported as of such date), the Company shall pay Pfizer all amounts due to Pfizer with respect to the Licensed Product(s), and other licenses and rights granted hereunder, to which the expiration or termination relates as of the effective date of such expiration or termination.
16.3.2     Inventory. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 16.3, if this Agreement terminates pursuant to a Company Termination Event after the first commercial sale of a Licensed Product, the applicable Company Licensee shall have the right to sell its remaining inventory of such Licensed Product(s) so long as the Company has fully paid, and continues to pay fully when due, any and all Third Party Payments owed to Pfizer hereunder based on such sales. For purposes of this Section 16.3, “Company Termination Event” means termination (a) by Pfizer in accordance with Section 16.2.1, (b) based on, or related to, the Company or a Company Material Indebtedness in accordance with Section 16.2.2, or (c) in accordance with Section 16.2.3 or 16.2.4.
16.3.3     Accrued Rights. Upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to a Company Termination Event, in part or in its entirety: (a) all licenses and rights granted to the applicable Company Licensee with respect to the Intellectual Property to which such termination relates shall immediately terminate and (b) any sublicenses that have been granted to a Sublicensee with respect to the Patent Rights or Know-How to which such termination relates shall immediately terminate. Termination of this Agreement, in part or in its entirety, shall be without prejudice to any rights which shall have accrued to the benefit of either Party prior to such expiration and termination (as applicable). In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 16.2 for any reason that is not a Company Termination Event, the licenses granted to the Company Licensees as of the date of such termination shall survive such termination and all provisions of this Agreement (including, for clarity, Sections 16.1 and 16.2) to the extent related thereto shall survive, as if this Agreement with respect thereto has not terminated.
16.3.4     Surviving Obligations. Without limiting any other provisions in this Article 16, the following Sections and Articles (along with the provisions herein that expressly specify survival terms or that would, by their nature, survive termination) shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason (collectively, the "Surviving Provisions"): 2.1.3(b)(i), 2.1.12(b) (with respect to the Patent Rights that, from time to time, the Parties identify as the Patent Rights subject to such Section), 2.1.13(b) (but only with respect to the last two sentences), 2.1.14(b) (but only with respect to the last two sentences), 2.3, 2.4.2, 2.5, 2.6.1, 4.2 and 4.3 (each, for the period of time set forth in such Sections), 5.1 (along with any provisions governing payment of such amounts hereunder), 5.3 (for the period of time set forth in such Section), 6 (but only with respect to Reference Filings and Regulatory Dossiers submitted prior to expiration or termination of this Agreement), 7, 8.2, 9, 10, 11 (for the period of time set forth in such Section), 12, 13.4, 13.5, 16.3 and 17.  Without limiting any of the rights or remedies otherwise available to either Party, each Party acknowledges and agrees that each of its obligations with respect to the Surviving Provisions shall continue, remain binding, and survive termination of this Agreement (and, without limiting the foregoing, shall not be dischargeable in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or similar proceeding); and that each of its obligations with respect to the Surviving Provisions is and shall be specifically enforceable under Applicable Law.
17. MISCELLANEOUS
17.1     Compliance with Laws. Neither Party nor any of their Affiliates will be required by this Agreement to take or omit to take any action in contravention of any Applicable Law, including any applicable national and international pharmaceutical industry codes of practices. Without limiting the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither Party nor any of their Affiliates shall be required to promote or otherwise commercialize a Licensed Product, or incur any expense in connection with any activity under this Agreement, that it reasonably believes, in good faith, may violate any Applicable Law (including any applicable national and 









international pharmaceutical code of practice) or “corporate integrity” or similar agreement with any Governmental Authority to which it is a party.
17.2     Assignability. For clarity, the rights, benefits, and obligations of the Company Licensees under (or relating to) this Agreement (including any licenses or sublicenses granted pursuant to this Agreement) are personal to the Company Licensees. The Company may not assign (including in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding) or assume in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding this Agreement or any rights, benefits, or obligations under or relating to this Agreement, in each case whether by operation of law or otherwise, without Pfizer’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that the Company may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any part hereof to one or more of its Affiliates, or to a successor to all or substantially all of its business and assets to which this Agreement (or part thereof that is assigned) relates, without Pfizer’s consent. In the event of a permitted assignment, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns. Any attempted assignment that contravenes the terms of this Agreement shall be void ab initio and of no force or effect.
17.3     Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof that would result in the application of any law other than the laws of the State of New York and, to the extent applicable to Intellectual Property, the applicable federal laws of the United States of America (without regard to conflict of laws principles).
17.4     Dispute Resolution.
17.4.1 General. The following procedures shall be used to resolve any dispute, controversy or claim that may arise out of or relate to, or arise under or in connection with this Agreement or the breach, termination, or validity thereof (each, a “Dispute”):
(a)Promptly after the written request of either Party (“Request”), the Senior Executives shall meet in person or by telephone to attempt to resolve any Dispute. If, for any reason, the Senior Executives do not resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days of receipt by a Party of such Request, then the Senior Executives shall meet in person or by telephone to review and attempt to resolve the Dispute.
(b)If, for any reason, the Senior Executives fail to resolve the Dispute within sixty (60) days of receipt by a Party of a Request in accordance with Section 17.4.1(a), the Parties shall attempt to resolve the Dispute with the assistance of a mediator agreed upon by the Parties or, in default of such agreement, within seventy-five (75) days of receipt by a Party of a Request, at the request of any Party, such mediator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The mediation shall be held in New York, New York and in accordance with the then-prevailing Commercial Mediation Rules of the AAA.
(c)All negotiations and mediation in connection with the Dispute shall be conducted in strict confidence and without prejudice to the rights of the Parties in any future legal proceedings. Except for any Party’s right to seek interlocutory relief in the courts, no Party may commence any form of arbitration in accordance with Section 17.4.2 until twenty (20) Business Days after the appointment of a mediator or until one hundred twenty (120) days after the receipt by a Party of a Request, whichever occurs sooner.
(d)    If, with the assistance of the mediator, the Parties reach a settlement, such settlement shall be reduced to writing and, once signed by a duly authorized representative of each of the Parties, shall be and remain binding on the Parties. The Parties shall bear their own legal costs of the mediation, but the costs and expenses of the mediator and the AAA shall be borne by the Parties equally.
17.4.2     Arbitration.
(a)All Disputes that for any reason are not timely resolved by the Parties in accordance with Sections 17.4.1(a) through 17.4.1(d) shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration to be administered by the AAA in accordance with the then-prevailing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA (the “Rules”). The seat of the arbitration shall be in New York County, New York. The arbitration shall be held and the award shall be issued in the English language. If the amount in controversy is Three Million US Dollars (US$3,000,000) or less 









(including all claims and counterclaims), there shall be one arbitrator who shall be agreed upon by the Parties within twenty (20) days of receipt by respondent of a copy of the demand for arbitration. If the amount in controversy is more than Three Million US Dollars (US$3,000,000) (including all claims and counterclaims), there shall be three (3) neutral and impartial arbitrators, one of whom shall be appointed by each of the Parties within thirty (30) days of receipt by respondent of the demand for arbitration, and the third (3rd) arbitrator, who shall chair the arbitral tribunal, shall be appointed by the Party appointed arbitrators within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the second (2nd) arbitrator. If any arbitrator is not appointed within the time limit provided herein, such arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the listing, striking, and ranking procedures in the Rules. Any arbitrator appointed by the AAA shall be a retired judge or an attorney with no less than fifteen (15) years of experience with commercial cases and an experienced arbitrator, who shall, if practicable, have experience with transactions or disputes related to the field of pharmaceutical development and technology and/or, if applicable, intellectual property (including Patent Rights and trade secrets).
(b)All arbitrators shall be neutral and impartial and shall not be officers or employees of either Party. The cost of the arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrator(s), will be shared equally by the Parties. The arbitrator(s) shall have the right to award damages and other relief but will not have the authority to award any damages or remedies not available under the express terms of this Agreement. The arbitration award will be presented to the Parties in writing and will include findings of fact and, where appropriate, conclusions of law. The award may be confirmed and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(c)Prior to the appointment of the arbitral tribunal, either Party may seek injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce compliance with the provisions of this Section 17.4.2 or otherwise in aid of arbitration or to maintain the status quo or prevent irreparable harm. The Parties hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and State courts located in New York, New York (the “New York Courts”) for such purpose. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of the New York Courts, the arbitrator(s) shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the Parties to request that any New York Court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by any such New York Court, and to award damages for the failure of any Party to respect the arbitrator’s(s’) orders to that effect.
17.5     Specific Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the Party or Parties who are or are to be thereby aggrieved shall have the right to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.
17.6     Force Majeure. No Party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement to the extent that any delay or failure in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement results from any cause beyond its reasonable control and without its fault or negligence, such as acts of God, acts of civil or military authority, embargoes, epidemics, war, riots, insurrections, fires, explosions, earthquakes, floods, unusually severe weather conditions, labor problems or unavailability of parts, or, in the case of computer systems, any failure in electrical or air conditioning equipment. In the event of any such excused delay, the time for performance shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay.
17.7     Advisors. It is acknowledged and agreed by each of the Parties that Pfizer, on behalf of itself and the other members of the Pfizer Group, has retained each of the Persons identified on Schedule 11.11 to the Global Separation Agreement to act as counsel in connection with this Agreement, the Global Separation Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Contribution and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that the Persons listed on Schedule 11.11 to the Global Separation Agreement have not acted as counsel for the Company or any other member of the Company Group in connection with this Agreement, the Global Separation Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Contribution and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that none of the Company or any member of the Company Group has the status of a client of the Persons listed on Schedule 11.11 to the Global Separation Agreement for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result thereof. The Company hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and each other member of the Company Group that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Effective Date in connection with this Agreement, the Global Separation Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Contribution and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby between Pfizer and the 









Company or any of the members of their respective Groups, each of the Persons listed on Schedule 11.11 to the Global Separation Agreement may represent any or all of the members of the Pfizer Group in such dispute even though the interests of the Pfizer Group may be directly adverse to those of the Company Group. The Company further agrees, on behalf of itself and each other member of the Company Group that, with respect to this Agreement, the Global Separation Agreement, the other Ancillary Agreements, the Contribution and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to Pfizer or the applicable member of the Pfizer Group and may be controlled by Pfizer or such member of the Pfizer Group and shall not pass to or be claimed by the Company or any member of the Company Group. Furthermore, the Company acknowledges and agrees that Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is representing Pfizer, and not the Company, in connection with the Transactions.
