Licensee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees will be accounted for only once. For purposes of determining Net Sales, a Licensed Product will be deemed to be sold when invoiced.

If consideration other than cash is paid to Licensee, its Affiliates, or any Sublicensees, then for purposes of determining Net Sales, the Parties will use the cash consideration that Licensee, its Affiliates, or any Sublicensees would realize from an unrelated buyer in an arm’s length sale of an identical item sold in the same quantity and at the time and place of the transaction, as determined jointly in good faith by Licensor and Licensee based on transactions of a similar type and standard industry practice, if any. 

In the event that the Licensed Product is sold as part of a Combination Product, then:

(a)subject to (b) and (c) below, Net Sales of the Licensed Product, for the purposes of determining Royalty payments, shall be determined by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction, A / (A+B) where A is the wholesale acquisition cost charged by Licensee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees in such period and country for a Licensed Product containing the Licensed Compound(s) in the Combination Product as its sole active ingredients (the “Mono Product(s)”), if such Mono Product is sold separately by Licensee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees in such period and country (the “Independent Price(s)”), and B is the wholesale acquisition cost charged by Licensee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees product(s) containing as their sole active ingredient(s) those active ingredients that are not Licensed Compounds included in the Combination Product (“Other Product(s)”) if such Other Product(s) are sold separately by Licensee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees in such period and country, in each case for a quantity comparable to that used in such Combination Product and of substantially the same class, purity and potency or functionality, as applicable; provided that if any of such Other Product(s) are not sold separately by Licensee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees, but are independently marketed by one or more Third Parties, in such period and country, then such product(s) shall be deemed to be separately sold by Licensee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees at the average wholesale acquisition costs charged by such Third Parties for purposes of the calculations in this paragraph; or

(b)if the calculation in subsection (a) cannot be made because the Other Products are not sold separately by Licensee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees in such period and country for a quantity comparable to that used in such Combination Product and of substantially the same class, purity and potency or functionality, as applicable, Net Sales of the Licensed Product, for the purposes of determining Royalty payments, shall be determined by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction, A / C where A is the Independent Price for a Mono Product, and C is the wholesale acquisition cost charged by Licensee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees for the Combination Product; or

(c)if the calculation of Net Sales resulting from a Combination Product cannot be determined by either of the foregoing methods, Net Sales for such Combination Product shall be calculated based upon the relative value of the active components of such Combination Product as reasonably determined by the Parties in good faith.

To the extent that a payment under a sublicense agreement that grants rights to more than one Licensed Product, where the sublicense agreement falls within the scope of clause (a) above with respect to one or more such Licensed Products and within the scope of clause (b) above with respect to one or more other such Licensed Products, cannot be allocated to a Licensed Product (e.g., such as an upfront payment), then such payment will be divided on a pro rata basis based on the number of Licensed Products licensed thereunder with respect to which clause (a) applies and the number of Licensed Products licensed thereunder with respect to which clause (b) applies.

Other Consideration.  If Licensee or its Affiliates receives Sublicensing Revenue or other amounts from Sublicensees or from any person or entity granted any option to obtain a sublicense under this Agreement in the form of non-cash consideration, then, at Licensor’s option, Licensee will pay Licensor (a) payments as required by Section 5.6.1 (Payment Obligation) in the form of the non-cash consideration paid or payable to or received by Licensee or its Affiliates, or (b) a cash payment determined based on the fair market value of such non-cash consideration.

Exchange Rate.  With respect to sales of Licensed Products invoiced in U.S. dollars, the gross sales, Net Sales, and Royalties payable will be expressed in U.S. dollars. With respect to sales of Licensed Products invoiced in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the gross sales, Net Sales, and Royalties payable will be expressed in the currency of the invoice issued by Licensee or its Affiliate or Sublicensee together with the U.S. dollars equivalent of the Royalty due, calculated using the average of daily last price rate of exchange for such currencies for the relevant Calendar Quarter utilized by Licensee for public financial accounting purposes in accordance with GAAP.

Taxes. 





	
 
	
5.11.1.
	
General. Each Party is responsible for its own taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments, deductions, fees, withholdings, or similar charges imposed on or measured by net income or overall gross income (including branch profits), gross receipts, capital, ability, or right to do business, property, and franchise or similar taxes pursuant to Applicable Law.  The development Milestone Payments, Sales Milestone Payments, Royalties, Sublicensing Revenue, and other amounts payable by Licensee to Licensor pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Payment”) will be paid free and clear of any and all Taxes, except for any withholding or deductions of Taxes required by Applicable Law (“Withholding Taxes”).  Licensee will deduct or withhold from the Payments any Withholding Taxes that it is required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold, and such Withholding Taxes will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Licensor hereunder.  The Parties will reasonably cooperate to minimize any such Withholding Taxes.  If Licensor is entitled under Applicable Law or any applicable Tax treaty to a reduction of rate of, or the elimination of, applicable Withholding Tax, then it may deliver to Licensee or the appropriate Governmental Authority (with the reasonable assistance of Licensee to the extent that this is reasonably required and is requested in writing) the prescribed forms, certificates, or other information, valid under Applicable Law, necessary to lawfully reduce the applicable rate of withholding or to relieve Licensee of its obligation to withhold or deduct such Withholding Taxes and Licensee will apply the reduced rate of withholding or dispense with withholding, as the case may be.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee will provide reasonable timely prior notice to Licensor of the intention to deduct or withhold Withholding Taxes from any payment (and the amounts subject to such deduction or withholding, where practicable) to allow Licensor a reasonable opportunity to, or elect to postpone a Payment in order to, timely furnish forms, certificates, or other items that would reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding in accordance with this Section 5.11.1 (General).  If, in accordance with the foregoing, Licensee withholds any amount, then it will pay to Licensor the net remaining balance when due, make timely payment to the proper Governmental Authority of the withheld amount and send to Licensor proof of

such payment within a reasonable time following such payment. If Licensee takes any actions that would increase any required Withholding Taxes that otherwise would not be required absent such action, including a Change of Control, change in tax residence, sublicense, or assignment of this Agreement by law or otherwise, then Licensee will increase Payments such that after such additional deduction and withholding, Licensor receives the amount it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.





	
 
	
5.11.2.
	
Value Added Tax. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.11.1 (General), this Section 5.11.2 (Value Added Tax) will apply with respect to VAT.  All Payments are exclusive of VAT.  If any VAT is required in respect of any Payments under Applicable Law, then Licensee will pay VAT at the applicable rate in respect of any such Payments following the receipt of a valid VAT invoice in the appropriate form issued by Licensor in respect of those Payments, such VAT to be payable on the due date of the payment of the Payments to which such VAT relates.  The Parties will reasonably cooperate to issue valid invoices for all amounts due under this Agreement consistent with indirect Tax requirements. The remitting Party will not be responsible for any penalties and interest resulting from the failure by the receiving Party to collect (if not included on a valid invoice) or remit any such VAT.  The Parties will reasonably cooperate to report, eliminate, or minimize the amount of any such VAT imposed on the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.





	
5.12.
	
Audit.  Licensee will maintain complete and accurate written records in sufficient detail to permit Licensor to confirm the accuracy of the Sublicensing Revenue, calculation of Royalties, and all other payments under this Agreement.  Upon reasonable prior notice, at a mutually convenient time, such records will be available during regular business hours for a period of [*] from the end of the Calendar Year to which they pertain for examination at the expense of Licensor, and not more often than once each Calendar Year, by an independent certified public accountant selected by Licensor and reasonably acceptable to Licensee, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the Payment Reports furnished by Licensee pursuant to this Agreement. Any such auditor will not disclose Licensee’s Confidential Information, except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to verify the accuracy of the Payment Reports furnished by Licensee or the amount of payments due by Licensee under this Agreement during the prior [*]. Licensee will provide to Licensor a copy of the accountant’s report in connection with any audit under this Section 5.12 (Audit).  Any amounts shown to be owed but unpaid will be paid within [*] after the date of receipt by Licensee of the accountant’s report, plus interest (as set forth in Section 5.13 (Manner of Payment; Late Payment)) from the original due date.  Any amounts shown to have been overpaid will be credited against future Payments due to Licensor under the Agreement. Licensor will bear the cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underpayment by Licensee of more than [*]% of the amount due, in which case Licensee will bear the full expense of such audit.





	
5.13.

Licensor pursuant to Section 9.7.3 (Assignment of Regulatory Submissions), and (b) all Patent Rights and Know-How (i) invented, conceived, discovered, created, or otherwise developed by or on behalf of Licensee or any Affiliate or Sublicensee  in the performance of activities under this Agreement and that are necessary or useful for the Exploitation of Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products, or (ii) that have been or are being used by Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees to Exploit any Licensed Compound or Licensed Product prior to and as of the effective date of termination; provided that, for purposes of this clause (ii), Licensee shall not be required, prior to the effective date of termination, to maintain licenses to, or preserve any, intellectual property that had been used prior to the effective date of termination but which is no longer being used as of the effective date of termination ((i) and (ii), the “Licensee Grantback Technology”), in each case ((a) and (b)), to Exploit any Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products (which license will be limited to the extent necessary for any Sublicensee that has entered into a direct license agreement with Licensor in accordance with Section 2.2.5 (Continuation of Sublicenses Upon Termination of this Agreement) to exercise its rights under such direct license for so long as such Sublicensee is granted such direct license).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee shall retain sufficient rights under the Licensee Grantback Technology for it and its Affiliates and Sublicensees to carry out its and their post-termination rights and obligations hereunder.  In addition to the royalties owed by Licensor to Licensee pursuant to Section 9.7.5 (Royalty to Licensee), Licensor will reimburse Licensee for any amounts owed by Licensee to Third Parties as a result of the grant of the license to Licensor under, or Licensor’s practice of, the Licensee Grantback Technology; provided that Licensor has been, at the time of termination of this Agreement notified of the terms of such payment obligations to any such Third Party, and, if Licensor notifies Licensee that it does not wish to have the Intellectual Property Rights that are subject to such payment obligations included in the Licensee Grantback Technology, then such Intellectual Property Rights will be excluded from the Licensee Grantback Technology, and Licensor will have no obligation to reimburse Licensee for any such payments.  Licensee agrees to execute, acknowledge, and deliver any further documents or instruments and to perform all such other reasonable acts as may be necessary or appropriate in order to effect such right of reference.  For clarity, clause (ii) of the definition of Licensee Grantbank Technology excludes any Patent Rights or Know-How that has been in-licensed by Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees from a non-Sublicensee or non-Subcontractor Third Party under a non-sublicenseable license, provided that rights to such Patent Rights or Know-How are commercially available or otherwise available to Licensor on commercially reasonable terms and Licensor is actually able to obtain rights to such Patent Rights or Know-How from such Third Party.  





	
 
	
9.7.5.
	
Royalty to Licensee. Licensor will pay to Licensee royalties on the Net Sales of each Licensed Product in the Territory during the applicable Royalty Term for such Licensed Product in each country, which royalties will be (a) [*]% of Net Sales for each Licensed Product with respect to which the effective date of such termination occurs after [*] for such Licensed Product, but prior to [*], and (b) [*]% of Net Sales for each Licensed Product with respect to which the effective date of such termination occurs after [*].

Licensee will continue to conduct such Clinical Trials, at Licensor’s cost, until such transfer is completed in order to enable such transfer to be completed without interruption of any such Clinical Trial (including the assignment of all related Regulatory Submissions, Regulatory Approvals, and investigator and other agreements relating to such Clinical Trials); provided that Licensor will not have any obligation to continue any Clinical Trial unless required by Applicable Law or under the terms of any agreement relating to such Clinical Trial that Licensor agrees to assume.

Licensee Wind-Down.

In addition, in such case, Licensee will maintain the IND during any such wind-down period until the completion of the wind-down of all Clinical Trials of Licensed Products, unless the IND has been inactivated. In addition, Licensee will be responsible for any out-of-pocket costs associated with such wind-down.

Licensor will bear the out-of-pocket costs associated with the knowledge transfer and transfer of inventory set forth in this Section 9.7.8 (Licensee Knowledge Transfer) in the event of [*], and in the event of [*], Licensee will bear such out-of-pocket costs. 





	
 
	
9.7.9.
	
Selected Third Party Agreements.  At Licensor’s written request, Licensee will, and cause its Affiliates and its Sublicensees to, assign to Licensor any Selected Third Party Agreement related to any Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products requested by Licensor, unless any Selected Third Party Agreement expressly prohibits such assignment, in which case Licensee (or such Affiliate or Sublicensee, as applicable) will cooperate with Licensor in all reasonable respects to secure the consent of the applicable Third Party to such assignment. If any such consent cannot be obtained with respect to a Selected Third Party Agreement, then Licensee will, and cause its Affiliates and its Sublicensees to, obtain for Licensor substantially all of the practical benefit and burden under such Selected Third Party Agreement, including by (a) entering into appropriate and reasonable alternative arrangements on terms agreeable to each of Licensor and Licensee (or such Affiliate or Sublicensee, as applicable), and (b) subject to the consent and control of Licensor, enforcing, at Licensor’s cost and expense and for the account of Licensor, any and all rights of Licensee (or such Affiliate or Sublicensee, as applicable) against the other party thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation thereof by such other party or otherwise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee’s obligations under this Section 9.7.9 (Selected Third Party Agreement) will not apply to any Selected Third Party Agreements that are necessary for Licensee to exercise its continuing right to sell the Licensed Products pursuant to Section 9.7.10 (Further Sales) until the expiration of such rights (at which time the obligations under this Section 9.7.9 (Selected Third Party Agreement) will apply).





	
 
	
9.7.10.
	
Further Sales. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than termination by Licensor for Licensee’s material breach pursuant to Section 9.4 (Termination for Cause) or by Licensor for a Challenge pursuant to Section 9.5 (Termination for Patent Challenges), then for a period of up to [*] after the effective date of such termination, (a) Licensee or its Affiliate or Sublicensee will have the continued right to sell the Licensed Products in such country from its inventory and the obligation to comply with the terms of this Agreement in connection with such Commercialization, and (b) Licensee’s and its Affiliates’ and Sublicensees’ obligations under this Agreement with respect to all such Licensed Product that Licensee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees sell, including the obligation to remit Royalties to Licensor hereunder, will continue in full force and effect during such period.

Licensor acknowledges and agrees that the terms under which Licensee manufactures and supplies Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products to Licensor hereunder will be subject to then existing terms and conditions of Licensee’s agreements with its manufacturers and suppliers.

“Losses”), to which any Licensor Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any such Claim to the extent such Claim arises or results from: (a) the practice by Licensee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees under any license granted to it under Section 2.1 (Exclusive License Grant) or the use of any Licensor Materials provided to Licensee hereunder; (b) the Exploitation of the Licensor Materials, Licensed Compounds, or Licensed Products by or on behalf of Licensee, or its Affiliates, Subcontractors, or Sublicensees, including any Claim related to any product liability, personal injury, or death caused by any Licensed Compound or Licensed Product; (c) the breach by Licensee of any warranty, representation, covenant, or agreement made by Licensee in this Agreement; (d) the fraud, negligence, or willful misconduct of Licensee, or its Affiliates, Subcontractors, or Sublicensees, or any officer, director, employee, agent, or representative thereof; or (e) the failure to comply with Applicable Law by or on behalf of Licensee under this Agreement or in connection with the Exploitation of any Licensed Compound or Licensed Product; except, with respect to each of subsections (a) through (e), to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly from the fraud, negligence, or willful misconduct of any Licensor Indemnitee or breach of this Agreement by Licensor.





	
11.2.
	
Indemnification by Licensor.  Licensor hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Licensee and its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives (each, a “Licensee Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Claims and all Losses to which any Licensee Indemnitee may incur, suffer, or be required to pay, or may become subject as a result of, or arising in connection with, any Claim to the extent such Claims arise or result from: (a) the breach by Licensor of any warranty, representation, covenant, or agreement made by Licensor in this Agreement; (b) the fraud, negligence, or willful misconduct of Licensor or its Affiliates, or any officer, director, employee, agent or representative thereof; (c) the Exploitation of the Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products following the effective date of termination of this Agreement by or on behalf of Licensor, or its Affiliates, subcontractors, or licensees (other than Licensee), including any Claim related to any product liability, personal injury, or death caused by any Licensed Compound or Licensed Product, except with respect to any Losses arising from any failure of any Licensed Compound or Licensed Product manufactured or supplied to Licensor pursuant to Section 9.7.12 to meet applicable specifications, or any adulteration, misbranding, or other defect in any such Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products; or (d) the failure to comply with Applicable Law by or on behalf of Licensor under this Agreement or in connection with the Exploitation of any Licensed Compound or Licensed Product; except, with respect to each of subsections (a) through (d), to the extent such Losses result from the fraud, negligence, or willful misconduct of any Licensee Indemnitee or breach of this Agreement by Licensee. 





	
11.3.
	
Indemnification Procedures.





	
 
	
11.3.1.
	
Notice.  Promptly after a Licensor Indemnitee or a Licensee Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) receives notice of a pending or threatened Claim, such Indemnitee will give written notice of the Claim to the Party from whom the Indemnitee is entitled to receive indemnification pursuant to Section 11.1 (Indemnification by Licensee) or Section 11.2 (Indemnification by Licensor), as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”).  However, an Indemnitee’s delay in providing or failure to provide such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent it can demonstrate prejudice due to the delay or lack of notice.





	
 
	
11.3.2.
	
Defense.  Upon receipt of notice under Section 11.3.1 (Notice) from the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party will have the duty to either compromise or defend, at its own expense and by counsel (reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee), such Claim.  The Indemnifying

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.



 


	
 
		
Party will promptly (and in any event not more than [*] after receipt of the Indemnitee’s original notice) notify the Indemnitee in writing that it acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to the Claim pursuant to this Article 11 (Indemnification; Insurance) and of its intention either to compromise or defend such Claim. Once the Indemnifying Party gives such notice to the Indemnitee, (a) the Indemnifying Party will have the right to control the defense and settlement of such Claim, subject to this Section 11.3 (Indemnification Procedures) and (b) the Indemnifying Party is not liable to the Indemnitee for the fees of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such defense, other than the Indemnitee’s reasonable expenses of investigation and cooperation. Any Indemnitee will be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of any Claim and to retain counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided that such retention will be at the Indemnitee’s own cost and expense unless (i) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and retain counsel in accordance with this Section 11.3.2 (Defense) (in which case the indemnified Party will control the defense at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense), or (ii) the interests of the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both Parties under any legal requirement, ethical rules, or equitable principles.





	
 
	
11.3.3.
	
Cooperation.  The Indemnitee will cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any Claim. The Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnitee informed on a reasonable and timely basis as to the status of such Claim (to the extent the Indemnitee is not participating in the defense of such Claim) and conduct the defense of such Claim in a prudent manner.





	
11.4.
	
Settlement.  If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Claim, then no compromise or settlement of such Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnitee’s written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), unless: (a) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnitee; (b) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; and (c) the Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement are not adversely affected.  If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume defense of a Claim within a reasonable time, then the Indemnitee may settle such Claim on such terms as it deems appropriate with the consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnifying Party will be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for such settlement as provided in this Article 11 (Indemnification; Insurance).





	
11.5.
	
Insurance.  Licensee, at its own expense, will maintain liability insurance in an amount consistent with industry standards during the Term, but in no event will such insurance be in an amount less than $[*] per occurrence and annual aggregate during the Term. In addition, during the term of Commercialization of any Licensed Product and for a period of at least 5 years thereafter, Licensee will maintain product liability insurance in an amount not less than $[*] per occurrence and annual aggregate. Licensee will maintain clinical trial insurance in compliance with all Applicable Law pertaining to the jurisdictions in which such Clinical Trials are conducted. Licensee will provide a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage to Licensor on the Effective Date, and will maintain Licensor as an additional insured.  Licensee will notify Licensor 30 days in advance of cancelation of any such insurance.

12.2.
	
Non-Solicit.  Licensee, without the prior written consent of Licensor, during the Term, will not solicit, induce, encourage, or participate in soliciting, inducing, or encouraging any employee of Licensor, or any of its Affiliates, in each case who have been [*] in the [*] prior to [*], to terminate his or her relationship with Licensor or Licensor’s Affiliate and accept employment with Licensee. An offer of employment to an employee of Licensor by Licensee which results directly from unsolicited responses to general advertisements for employment or from an unsolicited inquiry by such employee will not be a violation of this provision.





	
12.3.
	
Designation of Affiliates.  Subject to Section 2.2 (Sublicense Rights), each Party may discharge any obligations and exercise any rights hereunder through delegation of its obligations or rights to any of its Affiliates, but only for so long as such Person remains an Affiliate of such Party for purposes of this Agreement.  Each Party hereby guarantees the performance by its Affiliates of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement, and will cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance. Any breach by a Party’s Affiliate of any of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement will be a breach by such Party, and the other Party may proceed directly against such Party without any obligation to first proceed against such Party’s Affiliate.





	
12.4.
	
Assignment.  Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), except that: (a) each Party may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part to one or more of its Affiliates without the consent of, but upon written notice to, the other Party; (b) each Party may assign this Agreement in connection with the sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the business to which this Agreement relates (whether such transaction occurs by way of a sale of assets, merger, consolidation or similar transaction); and (c) Licensor may assign its right to receive payments under this Agreement as part of a royalty factoring transaction.  Any successor or assignee of rights or obligations permitted hereunder will, in writing to the other Party, expressly assume performance of such rights or obligations.  Any permitted assignment will be binding on the successors of the assigning Party.  Any assignment or attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the terms of this Section 12.4 (Assignment) will be null, void, and of no legal effect.  





	
12.5.
	
Limitation of Liability.  EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO (a) Article 7 (CONFIDENTIALITY), (b) A CLAIM FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, (c) A CLAIM BY EITHER PARTY THAT THE OTHER PARTY IS INFRINGING ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THE CLAIMING PARTY THAT ARE LICENSED TO SUCH OTHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AS A RESULT OF SUCH OTHER PARTY’S OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES EXPLOITING SUCH INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THE LICENSE GRANTED IN THIS AGREEMENT, OR (d) A CLAIM FOR INDEMNIFICATION PURSUANT TO Article 11 (INDEMNIFICATION; INSURANCE), NEITHER PARTY NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES WILL BE LIABLE UNDER ANY CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ITS SUBJECT MATTER. 





	
12.6.
	
[*]  





	
12.7.
	
Severability.  If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be or is taken, the provision will be considered severed from this Agreement and will not serve to invalidate any

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.



 


		
remaining provisions hereof.  The Parties will make a good faith effort to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.





	
12.8.
	
Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies.  Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver will be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition.  The waiver by either Party of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party will not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by such other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise.  The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by Applicable Law or otherwise available except as expressly set forth herein.





	
12.9.
	
Relationship of the Parties.  It is expressly agreed that Licensor, on the one hand, and Licensee, on the other hand, will be independent contractors and that the relationship between the two Parties will not constitute a partnership, joint venture, or agency.  Neither Licensor nor Licensee will have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action which will be binding on the other, without the prior written consent of the other Party to do so.  All persons employed by a Party will be employees of that Party and not of the other Party and all expenses and obligations incurred by reason of such employment will be for the account and expense of such Party.





	
12.10.
	
No Third Party Beneficiaries.  The warranties and agreements set forth in this Agreement are for the sole benefit of each Party and their respective Affiliates, successors, and permitted assigns, and such warranties and agreements will not be construed as conferring any rights to any other Persons other than, with respect to the Parties’ obligations in Section 11.1 (Indemnification by Licensee) and Section 11.2 (Indemnification by Licensor), the other Persons expressly referenced as indemnitees thereunder.





	
12.11.

Interpretation of this Agreement will be governed by the following rules of construction: (a) words in the singular will be held to include the plural and vice versa, and words of one gender will be held to include the other gender as the context requires; (b) references to the terms “Section”, “Exhibit”, or “Schedule” are to a Section, Exhibit, or Schedule of this Agreement unless otherwise specified; (c) the terms “hereof”, “hereby”, “hereto”, and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement; (d) references to “$” or “Dollars” will mean the currency of the United States and all references to “€” or “Euros” will mean the currency of the European Union; (e) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement will mean “including without limitation,” unless otherwise specified; (f) the word “or” will not be exclusive; (g) references to “written” or “in writing” include in electronic form; (h) the titles and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement; (i) each of the Parties has participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and if an ambiguity or question of interpretation should arise, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or burdening either Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions in this Agreement or any interim drafts of this Agreement; (j) the word “shall” will be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “will”; (k) references to “days” will mean calendar days, unless otherwise specified; and (l) a reference to any Person includes such Person’s successors and permitted assigns.

Agreement and all Disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or any breach hereof will be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would require the application of the laws of a different state.

Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, together with the Confidential Disclosure Agreement dated [*] by and between the Licensee and Allergan (the “CDA”), sets forth the complete, final, and exclusive agreement and all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions, and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes, as of the Effective Date, all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions, or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties other than as are set forth herein and in the CDA.  No subsequent alteration, amendment, change, or addition to this Agreement will be binding upon the Parties unless reduced to writing and signed by an authorized officer of each Party.  In the event of any inconsistency between the body of this Agreement and the Exhibits or Schedules to this Agreement or any subsequent agreements ancillary to this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly stated to the contrary in such Exhibit or subsequent ancillary agreement, the terms contained in this Agreement will control.
