with JDS prior to selection of any such third party, Banner shall be
responsible to maintain all Regulatory Approvals or other FDA-filings or
applications for Regulatory Approval as long as required for use in connection with
either partys activities under this Agreement.(ii) JDS shall be responsible, with Banners full cooperation, to prepare FDA
approvable label copy, proposed samples of packaging and artwork for Products, and
shall use reasonable commercial efforts to provide such label copy and artwork to
Banner in sufficient time to prevent any delay in obtaining Regulatory Approval due
to the label copy, proposed samples of packaging or artwork; provided however, that
in the case of the Valproic Acid EnteriCare Product, such proposed label copy and
artwork (but not samples of packaging) shall be provided by JDS to Banner no later
than ***. All such JDS label copy and final packaging specifications shall be
subject to Banners prior approval to the extent it contains information subject to
Regulatory Approval.(iii) Upon request by Banner, JDS shall cooperate with Banner in, and shall provide
Banner with, all other information with respect to JDS or its activities hereunder
reasonably necessary for filing in connection with obtaining or maintaining the
Regulatory Approval of the Product(s) and/or in responding to any questions or
requests for additional information by the FDA.(b)

2.3
    
    Product Developments.(a) Dosage Strengths. From time to time during the Term, Banner and JDS may agree to
develop dosage strengths of Products for the Agreement Indications in addition to the dosage
strengths listed on Appendix A attached hereto. Upon agreement to develop such dosage
strengths, (i) Banner and JDS shall negotiate in good faith and enter into a development
agreement specifying, among other things, defined timelines and an established budget
pursuant to which JDS shall reimburse Banner for all costs of developing such mutually
agreed to additional dosage strengths, including without limitation, actual direct out of
pocket costs, Banners internal research and development costs determined in an established
project accounting system at standard hourly rates, and the costs to obtain Regulatory
Approval to market the additional strengths in the Territory. Banner shall invoice JDS for
such costs for developing the additional dosage strengths and JDS shall pay such invoices
within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice received, and (ii) Appendix A attached
hereto shall be amended to include such additional dosage strengths so that the terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall then be applicable to the additional dosage strengths so
added. If in developing the additional dosage strengths, Banner develops, discovers or
creates patentable Intellectual Property that provides a commercial advantage for Product(s)
over the then existing technology used to make, use or sell Product(s), and the parties
agree that it is commercially advantageous for Banner to implement such Intellectual
Property to develop, make, use or sell the Product(s) in new dosage strengths, the parties
shall negotiate in good faith appropriate fair compensation to Banner for the added
commercial value of such new Banner Intellectual Property (e.g., by upfront milestone fees
and/or additional royalties on sales of the new Product dosage strengths). The determination
of such fair compensation to Banner will take into consideration, among other things, the
amount of funds already expended and to be expended by JDS in developing the Product(s) in
additional dosage strengths, the contribution of JDS to the development of the product
concept, and the financial return likely to be earned from the proposed
 -11-

##### 



commercialization of the Product(s) in new dosage strengths. However, if the parties
cannot agree to the appropriate fair compensation to Banner for the added commercial value
of such new Intellectual Property for the new Product dosage strengths, Appendix A shall
not be amended to include such new dosage strengths and such new dosage strengths shall not
be included in the Product(s) covered by this Agreement.(b) Additional Indications. ***(c) Dosage Forms. If during the Term, Banner decides to develop additional dosage
forms of Valproic Acid or its salts for the Agreement Indications (i.e., dosage forms other
than soft gelatin capsules and enrobed tablets), then Banner shall notify JDS of its
decision in writing and shall provide information as reasonably requested by JDS with
respect to such development projects from time to time. ***

3.3
    
    Exclusivity.(a) Definition. As used in this Section 3.3, year means each period of twelve
(12) full consecutive calendar months during the Term, with the first year beginning on
the First Commercial Sale of each Product and ending at the end of the twelfth full
calendar month after the First Commercial Sale of such Product.(b) Minimum Royalty Payments. JDS shall have the exclusive right to sell the
Products in the Territory, provided that JDS pays Banner at least the Minimum Royalty
Payment each year for each Product.
 (i) Product Contributions to Minimum Royalty Payment. The respective dollar
contribution of each Product to the Minimum Royalty Payment shall be calculated as
follows:***
 -14-




---



##### 



***(ii) Carryover Contributions. If in any year the Royalty Payments actually
paid by JDS to Banner exceed the Minimum Royalty Payment required for that year,
the excess amount shall be credited in the immediately following year solely to the
extent needed to allow JDS to achieve the Minimum Royalty Payment.(iii) Minimum Royalty Payment Abatement. If for reasons directly
attributable to Banners actions or failure to act, or to Force Majeure, JDS cannot
fulfill JDSs customer orders for Product(s) and, as a consequence, JDSs Net Sales
Revenue is reduced, and not merely delayed, then JDS may reduce the Minimum Royalty
Payment due to Banner for the applicable year by an amount proportionate to the
amount that JDSs Net Sales Revenue was reduced in such year because of Banners
actions or failure to act, or because of Force Majeure.
 Termination of Exclusivity

*** Should Banner terminate JDSs exclusive right to sell one or more Product(s) in
the Territory under this Section 3.3(c) then the non-competition restrictions imposed on
Banner under Section 3.4 shall also terminate with respect to such Product(s).3.4
    
    Non-Competition.(a) Subject to Section 3.3(c), with the exception of soft gelatin capsules containing as an
active ingredient Valproic Acid, salts thereof or oligomers thereof that Banner supplies to
third parties in the Territory as of the Commencement Date pursuant to written agreements
as of the Commencement Date, which third parties and agreements are listed on Schedule 3.4
attached hereto (the Exception), Banner shall not, directly or indirectly, either itself
or through a third party, supply for sale, market or otherwise commercialize in the
Territory any Valproic Acid, salt thereof or oligomer thereof, in each case, in the form of
a soft gelatin capsule, hard gelatin capsule or tablet product that possesses FDA marketing
approval for any Agreement Indication. For the avoidance of doubt, the Exception shall be
limited to the specific products that Banner is supplying in the Territory to the scheduled
third parties, or their successors, pursuant to the scheduled written agreements as of the
Commencement Date.(b) Other than the Products supplied by Banner under this Agreement, JDS shall not,
directly or indirectly, either itself or through a third party, offer for sale, market or
otherwise commercialize in the Territory any Valproic Acid, salt thereof or oligomer
thereof, in each case, in the form of a soft gelatin capsule, hard gelatin capsule or
tablet product that possesses FDA marketing approval for the Agreement Indications.(c) Banner shall be free to sell the Products and any other Valproic Acid product,
including salts thereof and oligomers thereof in any dosage form, any dosage strength and
for any indication, to one or more third parties for resale or distribution outside the
Territory without restriction except as follows:***

Products in Packaged Product form shall be:***(b) The price for Valproic Acid Versatrol Products in Packaged Product form shall be
determined according to Banners standard cost systems in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and shall be consistent with Banners determination of the
Valproic Acid EnteriCare Product price in Packaged Product form charged by Banner to JDS.
Banner shall provide JDS with summary documentation to support such price determination,
including, without limitation, to the extent that the pricing of Valproic Acid

Versatrol Product is greater than the pricing of Valproic Acid EnteriCare Product,
the components and the costs associated with such components that caused such increase in
pricing. The price for Valproic Acid Versatrol Product shall be fixed only after the
formulation for the Valproic Acid Versatrol Product is finalized and scale up to full
batch size is completed.(c) At JDSs option, up to ***(d) Pricing provided under this Section 4.1 is based on a minimum production lot size of
*** Units. Should JDS require smaller or larger size lots, pricing shall be negotiated in
good faith and pricing adjusted accordingly.(e) In addition to the Product(s) price set forth above, JDS shall make Royalty Payments to
Banner as follows:***

##### 



***(f) JDS shall make Royalty Payments quarterly. Accrued but unpaid Royalty Payments shall be
paid within thirty (30) days after the end of each quarter, in the same manner as invoice
payments under Section 4.3. With each Royalty Payment, JDS shall provide to Banner a
summary statement of Net Sales Revenue for the applicable quarter.(g) If there is a delay in achieving the First Commercial Sale of Valproic Acid EnteriCare
Product so that it does not occur before *** and this delay is due to circumstances beyond
JDSs reasonable control including delay in obtaining Regulatory Approval not attributable
to JDS and Force Majeure, then the Royalty Payment set forth in Section 4.1(e)(i) shall
commence on the date of the First Commercial Sale of the Valproic Acid EnteriCare Product
and shall end *** thereafter, and the beginning of each new Royalty Payment set forth in
Sections 4.1(ii), (iii) and (iv) shall be extended and commence accordingly.(h) Upon request of JDS, the parties shall discuss in good faith terms and conditions under
which JDS could buy out its obligation to make Royalty Payments under this Agreement,
however, neither party is bound to agree to or accept any such term or condition.

    Purchase Forecasts.(a) JDS shall submit to Banner a forecast of the quantity of Product(s) that JDS
anticipates ordering from Banner for the first twelve (12) months of the Term (the
Purchase Forecast). JDSs initial Purchase Forecast shall be due at a date agreed to by
the parties which date shall be a reasonable period in advance of the anticipated date of
the Regulatory Approval. JDS shall update this Purchase Forecast on or before the tenth
(10th) day of every calendar month, thereby creating a 12-month rolling
forecast. The first four (4) months of such forecast shall be a binding purchase commitment
and the remaining eight (8) months shall be non-binding. Banner shall use commercially
reasonable efforts, but is not obligated, to supply any monthly forecast that exceeds one
hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the quantity previously forecast for that month.(b) At least six (6) months prior to the anticipated date of Regulatory Approval of a
Product, Banner and JDS shall cooperate to determine the details of the first Purchase
Forecast, including without limitation, the launch quantities of such Product, the Product
mix (e.g., dosage strengths) and the desirable mix of Product quantities as physicians
samples and as retail size containers. As promptly as practicable following the delivery to
Banner of the first Purchase Forecast JDS shall provide Banner with binding firm orders
(each a Purchase Order) for the first four (4) months of the Purchase Forecast. The
Purchase Orders shall meet the requirements for Purchase Orders set forth in Section 4.5.4.5
    
    Purchase Orders.(a) Each month within two (2) weeks after submission of the Purchase Forecast for that
month, JDS shall provide Banner with Purchase Orders for the fourth month (i.e., the month
newly added to the binding purchase commitment under Section 4.4). The Purchase Order shall
specify: the specific Product(s) being ordered, the proposed shipment date to JDS, the
quantities of Product(s) ordered (which total monthly volume for the order period shall be
no less than the applicable binding portion of the Purchase Forecast as provided in Section
4.4), and the requested place and manner of delivery, including any carrier designated for
use by JDS. If JDS does not designate a carrier, then Banner shall select the carrier. In no
event shall Banner be obligated to accept any Purchase Order for less than the minimum batch
size of ***

***. Banner shall be provided a minimum lead-time for delivery of *** on Purchase
Orders. Within five (5) business days after receipt of a Purchase Order, Banner shall
notify JDS of its acceptance of such Purchase Order as a binding order or shall indicate
what portion of the amounts covered by the Purchase Order Banner is willing to accept as a
binding order. Such confirmation shall also confirm the proposed shipment date or specify a
reasonable alternate shipment date. Both parties shall make reasonable good faith efforts
to adjust order requirements to reflect market conditions, except that change requests may
not be made within *** from the scheduled ship date of the subject Product(s) without
Banners written approval not to be unreasonably withheld.(b) Banners acceptance of any Purchase Order is limited to the terms and conditions stated
in this Agreement. All terms and conditions proposed by JDS in any Purchase Order or
otherwise which are different from or in addition to this Agreement are expressly rejected.
No purported oral or verbal agreement or other understanding which attempts in any way to
modify the conditions stated herein will be binding, unless both parties agree to the
modification, in advance and in writing.(c) If Banner (i) is unable to fulfill JDS Purchase Orders for Product or (ii) becomes aware
of any circumstances (including Force Majeure) that will cause Banner to become unable to
fulfill JDS Purchase Orders, in each case, for any continuous sixty (60) day period, Banner
shall give JDS prompt written notice, describing such circumstances together with a proposed
course of action to remedy such failure, which may include supplying Product from a second
source (including without limitation a Banner Affiliate) qualified to provide Product under
the Regulatory Approval. In the event Banner cannot fulfill JDS Purchase Orders from a
qualified second source, JDS may, in its discretion, cancel each affected Purchase Order
and/or meet the shortfall from any alternate source or sources selected by JDS in its sole
discretion. Any procurement by JDS from such alternative sources shall be limited to the
extent of the material shortfall by Banner and such procurement shall cease as soon as
Banner is able to resume normal supplies, subject to depletion of any inventory on hand that
was purchased or is to be delivered pursuant to binding contractual commitments to purchase
from the alternate source or sources. In meeting its requirements under this Section 4.5(c),
JDS shall not enter into any long term supply commitments with any third party source. The
Net Sales Revenue from the product that JDS purchases from a source other than Banner under
the terms of this Agreement shall be included in Net Sales Revenue.(d) If Banner orders a specific raw material ingredient for a Product(s) and the raw
material is delayed or fails to meet Banners acceptance criteria, through no act or
omission by Banner, then for all purposes of this Agreement, Banners shipment timetable
shall be extended by the period of such delay, or in the case of unacceptable material to
allow Banner adequate time to obtain an acceptable

Performance Standards.
 Specifications and Characteristics
 Certificate of Analysis
 Product(s) Acceptance
 (a) Within thirty (30) days of receipt of Product(s) by JDS, JDS or its designee shall
conduct a visual inspection of Product(s). Should the visual inspection indicate a deviation
from the Specifications, JDS shall promptly notify Banner in writing by facsimile. If after
conducting its own investigation of the samples within fourteen (14) calendar days, Banner
agrees that such samples do not conform to the Specifications, and unless Banner reasonably
determines that the Nonconformity is directly attributable to JDSs or its agents shipping,
handling, distribution or storage of the nonconforming Products, Banner shall promptly
provide JDS, free of any additional charge, with new deliveries of the same quantity of the
Product(s) as the delivered shipment, or identifiable subset thereof, from which the sample
was taken, or, in Banners discretion and at its cost, and if appropriate under Applicable
Law, Banner may promptly reprocess the nonconforming Product(s) to meet the Specifications.
In either event (unless Banner reasonably determines that the Nonconformity is directly
attributable to JDS or its agents shipping, handling, distribution or storage of the
nonconforming Products), JDS shall return, at Banners expense, the particular lot, portion,
or shipment of the non-conforming Product(s) if requested to do so by Banner; provided that
if Banner elects to destroy such nonconforming Product(s), Banner shall arrange for such
destruction at its expense. If Banner reasonably determines that the Nonconformity is
directly attributable to JDSs or its agents shipping, handling, distribution or storage of
the nonconforming Products, and JDS disagrees, the matter shall be submitted to an
independent testing laboratory pursuant to Section 6.3(c). Except as to Latent Defects, if
JDS fails to notify Banner of a non-conforming Product(s) by the thirty-fifth
(35th) day following JDSs receipt of the Product(s), then JDS shall be deemed to
have accepted such Product(s).

##### 



(b) Promptly after either Banner or JDS become aware of a Latent Defect, it shall
notify the other of the batch involved, and at JDSs election, the batch shall be
quarantined as of the date of such notice. If the parties agree that the Product(s) have
one or more Latent Defects, then if Banner is responsible for the Latent Defect Banner
shall refund all monies paid for that shipment of Product to JDS, and shall reimburse JDS
for its reasonable and customary actual out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in
accepting returns from its customers and shall be responsible for all actual out of pocket
costs reasonably incurred by JDS in recalling Product(s) that have Latent Defects,
including costs of destroying such Products as necessary. If it is determined that JDS is
responsible for the Latent Defect, then JDS shall pay Banner the purchase price for such
Product in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall be responsible for any and
all costs of recalling the Product(s), including costs of destroying such Products as
necessary and the cost of accepting returns. Banner shall replace each nonconforming
shipment of Product, or the nonconforming portion thereof, with conforming Product as soon
as reasonably practicable after receipt of notice of rejection thereof. If the parties do
not agree on whether Product(s) have Latent Defects, testing shall be performed in
accordance with Section 6.3(c).(c) If Banner and JDS do not agree on whether the Product(s) conforms to the
Specifications, the matter will be submitted to an independent testing laboratory
acceptable to both parties for its review and determination. The parties will agree on an
inter-laboratory methods transfer process to be implemented at the laboratory to ensure
acceptable data from a scientific and regulatory (cGMP) basis. The determination of such
independent laboratory will be binding on both parties. The cost of the independent
laboratory shall be borne by the party whose testing results were in error. If the
Product(s) is determined not to conform to the Specifications, then Banner and JDS shall
have the obligations with respect to the non-conforming Product(s) set forth in Section
6.3(a) or 6.3(b) as applicable. If the Product(s) is determined to conform to the
Specifications, then JDS shall accept and pay for the Product(s) in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.(d) Subject to the indemnification obligations of Section 11.1, Banners obligations
including to reprocess or replace Product(s) in this Section 6.3 shall constitute JDSs
sole remedy for non-conforming Product(s) and is not in addition to any other remedy.

Product(s) complaints and Adverse Events in order to assure the conformity of Product(s) to
Specifications and Applicable Law and the safety and efficacy of the Product(s). The
parties shall act promptly and shall cooperate fully in such investigations.(b) Direction. Banner, as the holder of the NDA, shall have the responsibility and
sole right to control and direct any or all aspects of an investigation conducted under
this Section 7.2. Banner shall advise JDS from time to time throughout such investigation
of Banners intentions regarding control and direction of the investigation.(c) Assistance. Upon written request, each party shall provide all reasonably
requested assistance and information to the other in connection with an investigation of
any Nonconformity, Product(s) complaint or Adverse Event. Each party shall have the right
to conduct at its own expense any further tests it deems appropriate regarding such
investigation provided that it shall share the results with the other.(d) Reporting. Each party shall provide to the other (i) a preliminary written
report of its determinations and conclusions from any investigation conducted by it,
testing or other requested assistance related to such investigation as soon as reasonably
practicable, but in no event later than five (5) days after the completion of such
investigation, and (ii) preliminary samples (if available) of the affected Product(s). Any
final report regarding a Nonconformity, Product(s) complaint or Adverse Event shall be
submitted to the other party within thirty (30) days of a notification given by the other
party under Section 7.1. Upon request, Banner shall provide to JDS a written report of
Banners determinations and conclusions from any investigation, report, testing, or
portions thereof. Each party shall hold all communications related to such investigation,
testing or other requested assistance in confidence according to the provisions of Section
10. Banner shall be responsible for maintaining Adverse Event and complaint master files in
accordance with Applicable Law.(e) Costs of Investigations and Reporting. Costs, if any, associated with
investigations, shall be borne by the party that is determined to be responsible for the
Nonconformity, Product(s) complaint or Adverse Event. If neither party is responsible, or
fault cannot be determined, then Banner shall bear such costs if JDS can demonstrate through
applicable records that the shipping, handling and

Applicable Law and with Shipping Instructions; provided however, that if despite such
records, Banner can demonstrate that JDS or its agent is responsible for such
Nonconformity, Product(s) complaint or Adverse Event then JDS shall bear the costs
associated with the investigations. For purposes of this Agreement, Shipping Instructions
shall mean Banners written instructions for shipping, handling and storage of the
Products, a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix C, as may be amended by Banner as
reasonably necessary and in accordance with customary industry practices for soft gelatin
capsules, upon prior written notice to JDS. The parties shall equally share the reasonable,
customary and required costs of (i) Adverse Event reporting, (ii) the maintenance of
Adverse Event records, and (iii) pharmacovigilance activities related to the Product(s).7.3
    
    Certain Product(s) Events.(a) Notification and Cooperation. In the event Banner, after consultation with JDS
on how best to proceed, initiates a Recall, Withdrawal or field correction, field alert
report or comparable report with respect to Product(s), whether or not such Recall,
Withdrawal, field correction or field alert report has been requested or ordered by any
Governmental Body, Banner shall notify JDS in writing, and Banner and JDS shall fully
cooperate with each other to implement the same.(b) Coordination of Efforts. In the event either party becomes aware of information
that may warrant Banner taking any action with respect to Product(s), it shall immediately
provide the other with such information in writing. The parties shall cooperate with each
other in determining the necessity and nature of such action; provided, however, that JDS
shall take no action to effect the same without the written concurrence of Banner.(c) Contacts and Statements. With respect to any Recall, Withdrawal, field
correction, field alert report or comparable report with respect to any Product(s), Banner
shall consult with JDS and Banner shall make all contacts with the applicable Governmental
Body and shall be responsible for coordinating all of the necessary activities in
connection with any such Recall, Withdrawal, field correction, field alert report or
comparable report. Banner and JDS shall meaningfully consult with each other with respect
to statements to the media made by JDS and/or Banner, including press releases and
interviews for publication or broadcast, but Banner as the NDA owner, acting reasonably and
in good faith, shall have the right of final approval of such media statements.

12.4
    
    Intellectual Property Enforcement and Defense.(a)
    
    Intellectual Property Enforcement. Unless otherwise specifically agreed
by the parties in writing:(i) If either Banner or JDS suspects third party infringement of any of the
Intellectual Property covering or relating to Product(s), that party shall promptly
advise the other as to the facts and circumstances surrounding the suspected
infringement. If Banner determines that an infringement action is commercially
reasonable (taking into account the likelihood of success and relative
cost/benefits), Banner may institute an infringement action against said third
party. However, should Banner decide not to bring an infringement action, JDS may
request Banner to undertake such infringement action using counsel of Banners
choice (after conferring with JDS) at JDSs expense. Banner and JDS shall confer
regarding strategy for any patent infringement action brought under this Section
12.4(a) but Banner shall be solely responsible for the management and control of
such patent infringement action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this
Section 12.4(a)(i) shall require JDS to participate in or contribute to the cost of
Banners Intellectual Property enforcement efforts unless the third partys
infringement directly and materially adversely impacts, or is reasonably likely to
directly and materially adversely impact, sales of the Product(s) and, in all other
situations Banner is free to enforce Banner Intellectual Property on its own
behalf, at its own cost, and without contribution or indemnification thereof by
JDS. In this latter case, Banner shall retain for itself all awards paid by third
parties (whether by settlement or otherwise) as a result of Banners enforcement
efforts.(ii) Subject to Section 12.4(a)(i), the costs and expenses of any enforcement
action by Banner (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other
third parties) shall be paid by Banner and one-half (1/2) of any such costs and
expenses incurred by Banner shall be invoiced to JDS monthly and paid net thirty
(30) days of issuance.(iii) Each party shall execute all necessary and proper documents and take such
actions as shall be reasonably requested by the other to allow it to institute and
prosecute any such enforcement actions, including being named as a co-plaintiff in
the action if warranted, in accordance with the terms of this Section.(iv) Provided that JDS has actually participated in the cost of enforcement efforts
pursuant to Section 12.4(a)(i) and (ii) and to the extent any award paid by third
parties as a result of such an enforcement

##### 



action (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) relates to lost revenue
associated with the Product(s), such award shall be treated as Net Sales Revenue
hereunder (after deduction by Banner and JDS, as the case may be, of all costs and
expenses, including, without limitation internal personnel costs, relating to such
action). All other awards, or portions of awards not related to lost revenue
associated with the Products, shall be shared by the parties equally.(b)
    
    Declaratory Relief.(i) If a third party commences an action for declaratory relief or similar action
against Banner attacking the applicability, validity or enforceability of any
Intellectual Property relating to Product(s), Banner shall advise JDS as to the
facts and circumstances surrounding the action. Banner shall defend said action
and/or institute an infringement counterclaim against the third party if Banner
determines it is legally advisable and commercially reasonable to do so (taking into
account the likelihood of success and relative cost/benefits). However, should
Banner decide not to defend said action and/or institute an infringement
counterclaim against the third party, JDS may request Banner to undertake such
action using counsel of Banners choice (after conferring with JDS) at JDSs
expense. Banner and JDS shall confer regarding strategy for any action or defense
brought under this Section 12.4(b) but Banner shall be solely responsible for the
management and control of such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in
this Section 12.4(b)(i) shall require JDS to participate or contribute to the cost
of Banners Intellectual Property enforcement or defense efforts unless the third
partys legal action (if successful) or infringement directly and materially
adversely impacts, or is reasonably likely to directly and materially adversely
impact, sales of the Product(s) and, in all other declaratory judgment actions
relating to the Banner Intellectual Property, Banner is free to defend suit
(including asserting Banner Intellectual Property infringement as a counterclaim) on
its own behalf, at its own cost, and without contribution or indemnification thereof
by JDS. In this latter case, Banner shall retain for itself all awards paid by third
parties (whether by settlement or otherwise) as a result of Banners enforcement
efforts.(ii) Subject to Section 12.4(b)(i), the costs and expenses of any such defense
and/or counterclaim by Banner (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys
and other third parties) shall be treated in the same manner as patent enforcement
expenses pursuant to Section 12.4(a)(ii).(iii) Each party shall execute all necessary and proper documents and take such
actions as shall be reasonably requested by the other to defend said action and/or
institute and prosecute such counterclaim, including
being named as a co-plaintiff or co-defendant in the action and/or counterclaim
if warranted, in accordance with the terms of this Section.

(iv) Provided that JDS has actually participated in the cost of enforcement efforts
pursuant to Section 12.4(b)(i) and (ii), any award paid by third parties as a result
of a counterclaim brought under this Section 12.4(b) (whether by way of settlement
or otherwise) shall be treated in the same manner as patent enforcement award
pursuant to Section 12.4(a)(iv). Any award due to third parties as a result of the
action shall be treated in the same manner as an award pursuant to Section
12.4(c)(iv).(c)
    
    Intellectual Property Defense.(i) In the event a third party commences an action against Banner for Intellectual
Property infringement, or threatens to do so, for activities pertaining to the
making, using, or selling of Product(s) and notprimarily pertaining to the
Generally Applicable Technology, Banner shall advise JDS as to the facts and
circumstances surrounding the action. Banner shall defend said action if Banner
determines it is legally advisable and commercially reasonable to do so (taking
into account the likelihood of success and relative cost/benefits). However, should
Banner decide not to defend said action, JDS may request Banner to undertake such
defense using counsel of Banners choice (after conferring with JDS) at JDSs
expense, and in this case, JDS shall pay all damages awarded as a result of the
action directly relating to the Products as well as expenses reasonably incurred by
Banner in maintaining such action, for example, reasonable internal personnel
costs; provided, however, that JDS shall have a right to reimburse itself and
deduct such damages and expenses from the Royalty Payments otherwise due to Banner
under Section 4.1(e). In the event a third party commences an action against Banner
for Intellectual Property infringement, or threatens to do so, for activities
pertaining to the making, using, or selling of Product(s) but primarily pertaining
to the Generally Applicable Technology, Banner shall advise JDS as to the facts and
circumstances surrounding the action, and the parties shall discuss and negotiate
in good faith the allocation between them of costs and expenses of any such defense
and/or counterclaim. Banner and JDS shall confer regarding strategy for any defense
maintained under this Section 12.4(c) but Banner shall be solely responsible for
the management and control of such action.(ii) Except as set forth in Section 12.4(c)(i), the costs and expenses of any such
defense and/or counterclaim by Banner (including reasonable fees and expenses of
attorneys and other third parties) shall be shared equally by the parties and paid
in the same manner as Intellectual Property enforcement expenses pursuant to Section
12.4(a)(ii).

##### 



(iii) Each party shall execute all necessary and proper documents and take such
actions as shall be reasonably requested by the other to defend said action,
including being named as a co-plaintiff in the action and/or any counterclaim if
warranted, in accordance with the terms of this Section.(iv) Except as provided in Section 12.4(c)(i), any damages award paid to third
parties as a result of an infringement action brought by any third party (whether by
way of settlement or otherwise) shall be shared equally by the parties. The parties
shall agree with respect to any settlement requiring payments by way of royalties or
otherwise that are unrelated to actual damages for past infringement.
 (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.4 to the contrary unless where JDS has
requested Banner to undertake actions for infringement, enforcement or defense pursuant to
Section 12.4(a)(i), 12.4(b)(i) or 12.4(c)(i), if JDS determines that the risks and/or costs
presented by the actions for infringement, enforcement or defense hereunder outweigh the
benefits of such actions, then JDS shall have the right, upon written notice to Banner if
given prior to the date of the close of discovery, to terminate this Agreement with respect
to the Product(s) which are the subject of such actions and JDS shall have no further
obligation to participate in or contribute to the cost of going forward with such actions,
provided, however that JDS shall participate in any damage award (whether by way of
settlement or otherwise) as provided under Section 12.4(c)(iv) subject to the following
limit (i) fifty percent (50%) of the greater of the amount of damages sought by or accrued
to the third party at the time of JDS triggering this provision; (ii) fifty percent (50%)
of the lowest good faith settlement offer by the opposing litigant that is acceptable to
JDS but that is unacceptable to Banner; or (iii) fifty percent (50%) of the actual award
paid by Banner, whichever is less. Promptly following such notice, the parties shall amend
this Agreement to remove the provisions affected by such termination and, thereafter,
Banner shall have unrestricted rights to commercialize the effected Product(s), including,
but not limited to, the right to offer to any third party exclusive rights to such
Product(s) in any dosage forms, in any dosage strengths and for any indications,
notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary.(e) If any actions for infringement, enforcement or defense in which JDS participates
pursuant to the terms of this Section 12.4 relates to the Products and other Banner
products, then the parties will discuss in good faith to determine an appropriate
allocation of costs and expenses of any such action and any damages payable by JDS.(f) Banner shall provide JDS with information reasonably requested by JDS with respect to
any action contemplated by this Section 12, and Banner shall
promptly provide JDS with written notice and a reasonably detailed description of any
settlement offers by the third party.

(g) Effect of Opt Out Right. JDSs obligations under this Section 12.4 are subject
to JDSs Opt Out Right such that, if JDS has elected to exercise its Opt Out Right, then
JDS shall have no obligations or rights under this Section 12.4 to the extent that any
Intellectual Property infringement, enforcement or defense action is related solely to the
Valproic Acid Versatrol Product, provided however, that to the extent that any action
relates to both the Valproic Acid Versatrol Product and the Valproic Acid EnteriCare
Product, then JDS shall be obligated under this Section 12.4 in the same proportion that
the harm alleged in such action relates to the Valproic Acid EnteriCare Product.

    Dispute Resolution.(a) Good Faith Negotiation. The parties agree that, before resorting to any formal dispute
resolution process concerning any dispute arising from or in any way relating to this
Agreement (a Dispute), they will first attempt to engage in good faith negotiations in an
effort to find a solution that serves their respective and mutual interests, including
their continuing business/professional relationship. If after thirty (30) days following
receipt of notice by one party from the other of a Dispute, the parties are unable to
resolve the Dispute, then within ten (10) business days following the end of such thirty
(30) day period, the parties shall each appoint a principal to personally review the facts
of the Dispute and seek to resolve the matter by means of direct discussion between the
appointed principals. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the parties shall have five (5)
business days from the date the principals are appointed to begin the direct discussions
between them and ten (10) business days to resolve the Dispute by such direct discussions.(b) Mediation. If the principals are not appointed, or the negotiations do not take place
within the time provided in Section 13.3(a), or if the negotiations do not conclude with a
mutually agreed upon solution within that time frame (or its agreed upon extension), the
parties agree to mediate any Dispute. If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator within ten
(10) days following the conclusion of their good faith negotiations or expiration of the
time within which to negotiate as provided in Section 13.3(a), then each shall select one
name from a list of mediators maintained by any bona fidedispute resolution provider or
other private mediator; the two selected shall then choose a third person who will serve as
mediator. The parties agree to appoint principals to participate in the mediation process,
including being reasonably present throughout the mediation session(s). The parties shall
have thirty (30) days within which to commence the first mediation session following the
conclusion of their good faith negotiations or expiration of the time within which to
negotiate as provided in Section 13.3(a). The parties further confirm their motivating
purpose in selecting mediation is to find a solution that serves their respective and mutual
interests, including their continuing business/professional relationship.(c) Costs. The parties agree to share the mediators fees equally.

fail to achieve a mutually acceptable resolution of the Dispute, either party may file a
lawsuit related to the Dispute. Except for disputes predominantly related to intellectual
property which may be brought in any jurisdiction at the sole discretion of the party
bringing the lawsuit, the party filing the lawsuit shall file it in the state or federal
judicial district where the other partys principal U.S. executive offices are located.(f) Injunctive Relief. Each party has the right before or during the negotiation and/or
