(a)                                 Upon Release to The Client, Client shall have the right, but not the obligation, to inspect and test the API and Drug Product. Client may, within [*] after Release to The Client (the “Inspection Period”), reject any API and Drug Product that:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Company be responsible for noncompliance with Specifications for API or Drug Product that met Specifications at time of Release To The Client or from non-conformities that result from a deficiency or change in the Client supplied materials utilized in such Batch(es) of API or Drug Product(s) or a defect in the Specifications for the API or Drug Product(s).

If Client and Company do not agree whether the API or Drug Product met Specifications at the time of Release To The Client, such API or Drug Product(s) shall be submitted for testing to an independent laboratory acceptable to both Parties for the purpose of determining the results.  Any determination by such authority with respect to compliance to Specification shall be final and binding upon the Parties.  If it is determined that such API or Drug Product(s) failed to meet applicable Specifications at the time of Release to The Client due to Company’s breach of its warranties contained in Section 10.1 herein, or if due to Company’s gross negligence and/or intentional acts or omissions, Company shall pay the expenses associated with such analyses; otherwise, Client shall pay such expenses and purchase the API or Drug Product in accordance with this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 If it is determined that Company is directly responsible for the nonconformance, Company shall as soon as it is commercially practicable to do so, replace such Nonconforming Product with conforming API or Drug Product (the “Replacement Product”) at its sole cost and expense, not including the price for any Client supplied materials in excess of insurance limits.  All Replacement Product shall be subject to Client’s testing and approval as provided in this Section 6.2 and the Quality Agreement.  If Client previously paid the Purchase Price for the Nonconforming Product(s), then, Company shall Manufacture the Replacement Product and prepare Replacement Product for shipment in accordance with Section 6.1 (Delivery/Shipment).

16.13      No Other Relationship.  It is expressly agreed that Company, on the one hand, and Client, on the other hand, shall be independent contractors and that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create any joint venture or partnership between the Parties hereto, and, except as is expressly set forth herein, neither Party shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement to bind the other Party in any manner whatsoever.

16.14      Dispute Resolution.

 

(a)           Negotiated Settlement.  In the event of a dispute regarding payment or the performance of Services pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”), the Parties shall endeavor to negotiate in good faith an agreeable solution.  If after [*] following receipt of a Party’s written notification of a Dispute such Dispute has not been resolved, the Dispute shall be brought to the attention of the senior management of each Party and such senior manager or his/her designee will negotiate in good faith to define and implement a final resolution.  The intent of this Section 16.14(a) is to encourage the Parties to work together to resolve any Dispute without having to rely on arbitration or any other legal proceeding.

(b)           Binding Arbitration.  If not resolved in accordance with the preceding paragraph (a), then any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

 

16.15      Destruction of API or Drug Product.  Subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Quality Agreement or any Work Order, Client agrees to dispose of any API or Drug Product(s) at Company’s direction that are nonconforming, fail to meet Specifications, are determined by the Parties or any third party not to meet quality standards, and otherwise are not usable due to a potential risk to health or safety.  If such API and/or Drug Product is usable then return or destruction shall be at Client’s discretion, provided that Client agrees to provide a statement or other reasonable documentation requested by Company regarding Client’s intended use for the API and/or Drug Products. Any API or Drug Product(s) subject to a dispute shall not be disposed of, or otherwise used or distributed prior to resolution by the Parties.  Each Party shall act in good faith and shall cooperate with the other Party and with any qualified independent expert in connection with an investigation or resolution of a dispute.

16.16      No Solicitation of Employees.  Company and Client agree that neither Party will directly nor indirectly recruit a current or former employee of the other Party who has performed any work in connection with this Agreement provided that newspaper, internet or other advertisements to fill job openings shall be deemed not to be “solicitation” hereunder.

Any exceptions to this provision must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each Party.

 

16.17      English Language.  The Parties to this Agreement have agreed that this Agreement and all related documents shall be drafted in the English language only.

2.1                   General Principles

 

The Parties shall undertake a product development project (“Project”) consisting of the development activities and applicable timelines set forth on Schedule 2.1 (“Statement of Work”). Under the Project, Pfizer shall assist Trevena to develop the Product and to obtain any required Regulatory Approval(s) in the Territory.  Subject to the successful completion of the Project in accordance with the Statement of Work, and following receipt by Trevena of all necessary Regulatory Approvals, Pfizer then shall manufacture and deliver Product to Trevena for sale by Trevena as a human pharmaceutical product.

 

2.2                   Commercially Reasonable Efforts

 

Each Party shall use all commercially reasonable efforts successfully to complete the Project.  However, the Parties acknowledge and agree that neither of them can guarantee that the Project will be successful, nor warrants that a marketable product will result from the Project.

 

ARTICLE 3
  SERVICE FEES; SCOPE CHANGES; PROJECT MANAGEMENT

 

3.1                   Development Fees

 

Trevena shall pay Pfizer a non-refundable development fee (the “Development Fee”) for its work under the Project in accordance with the payment schedule set forth in the tables on Schedule 3.1.

 

3.2                   Stability Studies

 

In accordance with requirements of the Statement of Work, Pfizer will prepare pre-market, and if requested by Trevena, market-life stability batches of Products and perform stability studies (“Stability Work”).  The essential obligations of the Parties regarding Stability Work and the charges therefor are set forth on Schedule 3.2.

 

3.3                   Changes in Project Scope

 

(a)                                 Changes; Proposal In the event (i) Trevena requests that changes be made to any material aspect of the Project or the Product Specifications, or (ii) technical difficulties require that Pfizer perform either additional work or repeat work, and such additional work is required not because of Pfizer’s fault or negligence, or (iii) the Parties mutually agree to conduct additional work related to the subject matter of this Agreement, Pfizer shall provide Trevena with terms and conditions of any such additional, repeat or new work, including the scope of work, pricing, timeframes and responsibilities in a proposal to be mutually agreed upon in writing and signed by both Parties (each, a “Proposal”). Pfizer’s pricing will include professional and other employees service fees quoted at its customary per/hour, per/person rates then in effect, relative to the work to be performed, consistent with its charges to other similarly-situated customers. Each Proposal shall reference this Agreement, shall be

 

[*] = 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.

 

5

 

implemented as a change order when signed by the Parties, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern and control any and all such additional, repeat or new work; provided, however, that if any provision of any Proposal conflicts with this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail with respect to all terms except pricing terms.  Pfizer shall bear the costs and expenses of any changes to the Proposal or delays to the Project which are caused by Pfizer’s requirement for Regulatory  Authority approval or other authorizations (specifically, Drug Enforcement Agency (“DEA”) quotas) which are not requirements of Applicable Law or occur as a result of Pfizer-specific policies that are not otherwise required by Applicable Law.

 

(b)                                 Expansion of Territory.  Trevena shall give Pfizer reasonable prior notice in the event that it desires to pursue marketing and sales activities for the Product in countries or geographic regions outside of the Territory. The Parties will then determine the preparatory work that may be required (if any) and upon agreement, Pfizer shall provide Trevena with all necessary additional technical/developmental and regulatory support, including, for example, regulatory support for Trevena’s supplemental regulatory filings, packaging and product development, labeling, and relevant Regulatory Authority inspections. Any additional technical/developmental and regulatory support for such other countries or geographic regions shall be considered a change in Project scope and the Parties will agree to the reasonable incremental costs of such additional support in accordance with Section 3.3(a).  Any additional pre-approval inspections of the Facility that may be required by relevant Regulatory Authorities as a result shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 7.5(b).  If Trevena chooses to engage Pfizer to manufacture the Product for marketing and sale outside of the Territory, such batches which are produced shall be applied to any and all of Trevena’s Minimum Purchase Requirement as defined in Section 6.8.  Except as provided herein, nothing contained in this Section 3.3(b) shall grant any right to Pfizer, or obligate Trevena in any way to engage Pfizer to manufacture the Product for sale outside of the Territory.

 

(c)                                  Assignment Fee.  In the event that Trevena assigns or otherwise transfers substantially all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Third Party pursuant to Section 12.5, either to a commercial licensing partner or an acquirer of Trevena’s business, [*]  If a technology transfer is associated with the assignment, the specific technology transfer scope, activities and associated costs will be defined in a project plan.

 

3.4                   Steering Committee; Project Manager

 

(a)                                 Steering Committee.  Pfizer and Trevena will jointly constitute a team (“Steering Committee”) comprised of not less than [*] members from each Party (or such number as the Parties mutually agree) to oversee the work under the Statement of Work as well as commercial manufacturing with [*] representative from each of Trevena and Pfizer having the authority to make decisions on behalf of such Party.  The Steering Committee representatives may invite other employees of the Parties or their Affiliates to the Steering Committee meetings, to serve in an advisory capacity as relevant to the matters at hand.  The Steering Committee will be considered as a working committee that will have as its goal the prompt and mutually agreeable resolution of any financial, technical or quality issues that may arise in order to advance and preserve a harmonious relationship established by and between Pfizer and Trevena.  Either Party may change its representatives on the Steering Committee at any time by written notice to the other Party.

 

[*] = 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.

 

6

 

The Steering Committee shall meet at least quarterly or as otherwise may be necessary or agreed by the Steering Committee, which meetings shall occur by teleconference, videoconference or in person and may address any relevant issue a party wishes to call to the attention of the Steering Committee, to review past performance on mutually agreed upon metrics, discuss future partnership objectives, and to oversee the relationship between Trevena and Pfizer.  The Steering Committee shall be responsible for performing the following functions:

 

(i)                                     reviewing business strategy;

 

(ii)                                  ensuring goal alignment;

 

(iii)                               assessing and developing risk mitigations and/or redundancies;

 

(iv)                              discussing market dynamics and impact to supply/demand; and

 

(v)                                 implementing procedures for project governance and the resolution of questions or disputes that may arise under this Agreement or the Project Statement of Work

 

(b)                           Project Team; Project Manager.  Promptly upon execution of this Agreement, Pfizer and Trevena shall each designate such of their respective employees from product development, quality assurance, manufacturing, and project management to form a team (“Project Team”) to direct the activities to be carried out under the Statement of Work.  Each Party shall also designate one of its employees to act as its project manager (each, a “Project Manager”), who will be primarily responsible for communicating all instructions and information concerning the Project to the members of the Project Team.  The Project Team and/or the Project Managers shall consult periodically during the performance of the Services, through face-to-face meetings, telephone conferences and/or videoconferences, at times to be mutually agreed upon by the Project Managers.  Each Party may appoint a substitute or replacement Project Manager or a member(s) of the Project Team in the absence of its original Project Manager or original member(s) of the Project Team by notifying the other Party in writing of such substitution or replacement.  Neither the Project Managers nor the Project Team shall have the right to modify, amend or waive any provision of this Agreement.

 

3.5                   Development Supplies

 

Based on Trevena’s final Product formulations, concentration and fill volume and the Parties’ agreement to the final Product Specifications, Pfizer will manufacture the Products as engineering batches, validation batches and stability batches (collectively, the “Development Supplies”) at the prices set forth in the Statement of Work.  The Parties acknowledge that Development Supplies may include products utilized for development purposes only (e.g., in media fills, engineering runs, or as stability testing materials), which are not intended for commercial sale in the market; provided, however, that Pfizer will manufacture all validation batches of Product in accordance with cGMP, which, if permitted by Applicable Law, would allow Trevena to use such validation batches as part of its commercial supply.  In accordance with a schedule to be mutually agreed by the Parties, Trevena shall issue its purchase order(s) for such Development Supplies at least [*] days before any requested delivery date.  For the sake of clarity, all relevant provisions of Articles 5, 7, 8 and 9 also shall apply to the manufacture and delivery of the Development Supplies.

[*] = 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.

 

13

 

the content of the new labeling and packaging, including all necessary photo-ready art (or its substantial equivalent).  Pfizer shall promptly provide Trevena with a statement of estimated charges for the work to be performed based on its per/person, per/hour rates then in effect, and its estimated timeline for implementing the changes.  Upon written approval by Trevena, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, Pfizer will perform all requested or required labeling and packaging work.  Trevena shall pay Pfizer for the work performed, in addition to reimbursing Pfizer for the cost of any existing labeling and packaging that has become obsolete as a result of such changes; provided, however, that such labeling and packaging shall not exceed the quantity of labeling and packaging required for the Product forecasted by Trevena for manufacture in the relevant Firm Order Period.

 

5.8                   Product Testing and Release

 

(a)                                 Test Methods.  Upon completion of manufacture, Pfizer will test each batch of Products for conformance with the Product Specifications and cGMP in accordance with agreed-upon quality control test methods set forth on Schedule 7.1, the Quality & Technical Agreement or as otherwise requested by Trevena.

 

(b)                                 Documentation. After Pfizer has carried out and reviewed all testing in accordance with its quality control processes, procedures and other agreed test methods, Pfizer will provide Trevena with a Certificate of Analysis (and a Certificate of Compliance, if so required) confirming that the batch was manufactured in conformity with the Manufacturing Process and Applicable Law (including cGMP) and complies with the Product Specifications. Pfizer will also provide copies of batch records and all other documents and records as required by the Quality & Technical Agreement, as well as such samples of the batch as Trevena may reasonably request.  Trevena will review all of the documentation and discuss its observations, if any, with Pfizer.  Once all observations are resolved, and Trevena has reviewed and approved all of the documentation provided by Pfizer, Trevena will approve the batch by providing to Pfizer its authorization to release the batch for delivery (“Release Authorization”). Pfizer will then make the batch available to Trevena at the Facility.

 

(c)                                  Inspection; Rejection. Trevena shall inspect, perform its quality assurance tests, and accept or reject, the corresponding batch as conforming or non-conforming with the Product Specifications [*], the timely resolution of all error and deviation records and if, applicable, batch samples.  If Trevena rejects the batch as being non-conforming, it shall promptly notify Pfizer.  If, as a result of further review and testing, Pfizer determines that the batch does conform to the Product Specifications or is otherwise not defective, the Parties shall mutually confer to find the root cause of the disagreement regarding batch non-conformity.  If the Parties do not agree that a non-conformity exists, the Parties shall then submit samples of such batch to an independent laboratory acceptable to both Parties as further provided in Section 5.8(f).

 

(d)                                 Deemed Acceptance.  If Trevena does not notify Pfizer in writing of Trevena’s rejection [*], Trevena shall be deemed to have accepted the Product, except that Trevena shall retain the right to revoke acceptance of Product for a Latent Defect pursuant to Section 5.8(h).

 

(e)                                  Product Quantity.  If the quantity of Products produced in any batch manufactured and proffered for delivery to Trevena is materially less than the quantity specified in the applicable Purchase Order, then the parties will meet to discuss in good faith and agree to

 

[*] = 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.

 

14

 

one or more remedies to resolve the shortage in a fair and equitable manner.  For purposes of clarity, “materially less” shall mean a batch of Products with an abnormally high number of units either rejected or set aside at Pfizer’s determination for sampling, stability or for other reasons outside of the ordinary course of manufacturing and based on historic experience at the Facility.

 

(f)                                   Disputes Regarding Non-Conformity; Independent Testing.  In the event of an unresolved dispute as to whether a batch does or does not comply with Product Specifications, Pfizer and Trevena will appoint a mutually agreeable independent laboratory to perform comparative tests and/or analyses on samples of the Product claimed to not comply with the Product Specifications. The independent laboratory’s results will be in writing and will be final and binding, save for manifest error on the face of its report; provided, however, that the independent laboratory may also determine that additional sample testing by an independent laboratory is necessary. Unless otherwise agreed to by Pfizer and Trevena in writing, the costs associated with such testing and review will be borne by the Party against whom the independent laboratory rules.  Pfizer will furnish the independent laboratory such instructions regarding the storage, handling and potential hazards of any Product as are provided to or developed by Pfizer by or on behalf of Trevena. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that the independent testing and review processes are only relevant to determine whether a batch complies with Product Specifications and shall not apply to disputes concerning whether a batch was manufactured in accordance with the Manufacturing Process and Applicable Law (including, cGMP).

 

(g)                                  Replacement; Disposition of Rejected Product.  Pfizer shall use all reasonable efforts to replace, at no cost to Trevena, that portion of the batch which does not conform to the Product Specifications or was not manufactured in accordance with the Manufacturing Process and Applicable Law (including cGMP) as soon as possible, given manufacturing capacities and scheduling at the Facility [*]; provided, however, that [*].  Pfizer shall dispose of any rejected Products at its own cost and expense and in accordance with Applicable Law.  Pfizer shall make all documentation relating to such disposition available to Trevena upon Trevena’s request

 

(h)                                 Latent Defects.  Notwithstanding the acceptance provisions of Section 5.8(c) and (d), Trevena will have the right to reject any batch of Products that are subsequently found to be non-conforming due to latent defects.  For purposes of this Section 5.8(h), “latent defects” are any defects in the Product which are not discoverable using ordinary diligence and reasonable care in applying the quality control and test methods specified in the Quality & Technical Agreement, render the Product not conforming to Product Specifications and are caused by Pfizer.  The Parties will consult to confirm the cause of the latent defects.  If the Parties do not agree as to whether the Product is non-conforming, they will submit samples of such Product for independent testing in accordance with Section 5.8(f).  If it is confirmed that the cause of the latent defect is attributable to Pfizer, then Pfizer will replace at no cost to Trevena all such latently defective Products with Products that meet the Product Specifications, subject to the provisions of Section 5.4(c) and the limitations of Section 5.4(d).  All other relevant provisions of this Section 5.8 will apply to the inspection, testing and release of such replacement Products.

5.10            Miscellaneous

 

(a)                                 Process Rework. Pfizer will not rework or reprocess a Product unless authorized in advance by Trevena in writing and there is a validated process for such rework or reprocessing of Product.  Re-inspection does not constitute rework or reprocessing.  Process rework that may become necessary as a result of Trevena’s changes will be billed separately at a reasonable fee to be mutually agreed between the Parties in writing.

 

(b)                                 Sub-Lots.  Should Trevena desire Pfizer to split a manufacturing lot of Product into two (2) or more sub-lots during packaging, [*].

(b)                                 The Parties will then determine the corresponding actual [*] prices (“Actual Price”) set forth on Schedule 6.13 and will calculate a total dollar amount resulting from the Actual Quantity multiplied by the Actual Prices (“Actual Total Amount”);

 

(c)                                  The Parties will then calculate a total dollar amount resulting from the Actual Quantity multiplied by the Assumed Price (“Assumed Total Amount”); and

 

(d)                                 If the Actual Total Amount equals or is greater than the Assumed Total Amount, then Pfizer will issue a credit memorandum to Trevena in an amount equal to the positive difference that Trevena may use to offset any future amounts due under this Agreement.  If the Actual Total Amount is less than the Assumed Total Amount, then Pfizer will issue to Trevena a debit memorandum equal to the negative difference, which Trevena will pay within [*] days after Trevena’s receipt of such debit memorandum.

Pfizer represents and warrants to Trevena that, to the best of Pfizer’s knowledge, Pfizer’s Intellectual Property, proprietary technology, manufacturing processes or other proprietary rights that Pfizer licenses to Trevena under this Agreement, does not infringe any patents or know-how of a Third Party and in its performance of its obligations under this Agreement, Pfizer will not knowingly incorporate into the Manufacturing Process any patents or know-how of a Third Party for which it does not have a licence that permits it to do so and/or to be able to grant to Trevena the licences and other rights otherwise required to be granted to Trevena hereunder.

 

The foregoing warranties will not extend to any nonconformity or defect which relates to or is caused by API supplied by Trevena to Pfizer.  Subject to Pfizer’s indemnity obligations in Section 8.5, the replacement provisions of Sections 5.4(c), 5.4(d), 5.8(g), 5.8(h) and 7.10(b) will be Trevena’s sole and exclusive remedies for nonconforming or defective Products.

Pfizer will indemnify and hold harmless Trevena and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and representatives (each, a “Trevena Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses to which any Trevena Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any Claim against a Trevena Indemnitee arising or resulting, directly or indirectly, from (a) Pfizer’s breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 8.1 or Sections 8.3(a) through Section 8.3(c), (b) infringement of any Intellectual Property right of any Third Party relating to Pfizer’s manufacturing processes used in the manufacture of Product pursuant to this Agreement (excluding the API Specifications, Product Specifications, API, Drug, Product or the Manufacturing Process), or (c) any negligent or wrongful act or omission on the part of Pfizer or any Pfizer Indemnitee and which relate to Pfizer’s performance hereunder except, in each case, to the extent such Losses result from the negligence or willful misconduct of any Trevena Indemnitee or the breach by Trevena of any express warranty or representation made by Trevena in this Agreement.

 

8.6                   Conditions of Indemnification

 

A Party (an “Indemnified Party”) which intends to claim indemnification under this Article 8 shall notify the other Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) within a reasonable time in writing [*] of any Claim, in respect of which the Indemnified Party believes it is entitled to claim indemnification; provided, however, that the failure to give timely notice to the Indemnifying Party shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any liability to the Indemnified Party to the extent the Indemnifying Party is not prejudiced thereby.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, by notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any such action or claim within [*] of  any Claim with counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choice and at the sole cost of the Indemnifying Party.  If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume the defense of such Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume such defense with counsel of its choice and at the sole cost of the Indemnifying Party.  If the Indemnifying Party so assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party may participate therein through counsel of its choice, but at the sole cost of the Indemnified Party.  The Party not assuming the defense of any such claim shall render all reasonable assistance to the Party assuming such defense, and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such assistance shall be for the account of the Indemnifying Party.  No such Claim shall be settled other than by the Party defending the same, and then only with the consent of the other Party which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have no obligation to consent to any settlement of any such Claim which imposes on the Indemnified Party any liability or obligation which cannot be assumed and performed in full by the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have no right to withhold its consent to any settlement of any such Claim if the settlement involves only the payment of money by the Indemnifying Party or its insurer.

EXCEPT FOR A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATIOIN OBLIGATIONS OR BREACH OF ARTICLE 11, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS OR USE RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY

[*] = 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall be allowed to retain one (1) copy of the other’s Confidential Information to ensure continuing compliance with Article 11. provided, however, that  all Confidential Information shall be returned no more than [*] years following expiration or termination of this Agreement or such longer period as may be required by Applicable Law.

 

10.7            Accrued Obligations

ARTICLE 11

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

 

11.1            Confidential Information

 

As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means, collectively, all of Party’s written or oral information, whether or not it has been identified as confidential or that by the nature of the information or the circumstances surrounding disclosure ought reasonably to be treated as confidential and/or proprietary, including, but not limited to, any oral, written, graphic or machine-readable information relating to a Party’s and its Affiliates’ businesses, protocols, projects or products, whether patentable or not, including but not limited to, know-how, scientific information, chemical structures, compounds, devices, data, documents, methods, trade secrets, patent applications, work product, intellectual property, technology, financial or business information and transactions already entered into or contemplated that have been disclosed or will be disclosed in the future by such Party or its designee (“disclosed” shall include any information learned or witnessed by the other Party), or information exchanged for the purpose of exploring a potential business transaction between the Parties and/or their Affiliates or any information which already is subject to an existing confidentiality agreement.   For the avoidance of doubt, the definition of Confidential Information shall include Confidential Information of each Party’s Affiliates.  The Party disclosing Confidential Information shall be referred to as the “Discloser” and the Party receiving Confidential Information shall be referred to as the “Recipient”. The Parties agree that any Confidential Information disclosed between them under the pre-existing Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement, dated as of March 3, 2015 (as amended and extended), shall be subsumed under the terms of this Article 11.  Confidential Information does not include information that (a) is in possession of the receiving Party at the time of disclosure, as reasonably demonstrated by written records and without obligation of confidentiality and not subject to a prior confidentiality agreement, (b) is or later becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the receiving Party, (c) is received by the receiving Party from a Third Party without obligation of confidentiality, or (d) is developed independently by the Recipient without use of, reference to, or reliance upon the Discloser’s Confidential Information by individuals who did not have access to Confidential Information.  The Discloser shall, to the extent practical, use reasonable efforts to label or identify as confidential, at the time of disclosure all such Confidential Information that is disclosed in writing or other tangible form.  Confidential Information of Pfizer includes all of Pfizer’s manufacturing processes, technology and know-how, whether or not labeled confidential. Confidential Information of Trevena includes among other things, Trevena’s processes, technology, know-how, API and materials, whether or not labeled confidential.

 

11.2            Duty of Nondisclosure and Non-Use; Exceptions

 

Each Party agrees (a) to keep confidential the Confidential Information of the other Party, (b) not to disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to any Third Party, including, any generic drug manufacturers or companies without the prior written consent of such other Party, and (c) to use such Confidential Information only as necessary to fulfill its obligations or in the reasonable exercise of rights and obligations granted to it hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party may disclose (i) Confidential Information of the other Party to its Affiliates, and to its and their directors, employees, consultants, and authorized agents in each case who

 

[*] = 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.

 

32

 

have a specific need to know such Confidential Information and who are bound by a either and effective written agreement or professional obligation of confidentiality and restrictions on use at least no less restrictive as contained herein, (ii) its respective Development IP, to the extent required to exploit its rights under Article 9 of this Agreement, and (iii) Confidential Information of the other Party to the extent such disclosure is required to comply with Applicable Law or to defend or prosecute litigation; provided, however, that the Recipient provides prior written notice of such disclosure to the Discloser and takes reasonable and lawful actions to avoid or minimize the degree of such disclosure.  Furthermore, Trevena may disclose Confidential Information of Pfizer relating to the Project and/or the manufacture of Product to Regulatory Authorities and entities with whom Trevena has (or may have) a marketing and/or development collaboration and who have a specific need to know such Confidential Information and who is or are abound Party to an effective agreement protecting the Confidential Information on terms no less restrictive than those contained herein.

 

11.3            Public Announcements

 

Neither Party will make any public announcement concerning the transactions contemplated herein, or make any public statement or filing which includes the name of the other Party or any of its Affiliates, or otherwise use the name of the other Party or any of its Affiliates in any public statement or document, except as may be required by law, the rules of a stock exchange or judicial order, without the written consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.  Subject to any legal or judicial disclosure obligation, any such public announcement or filing proposed by a Party that names the other Party will first be provided in draft to the other Party.

 

11.4            Injunctive Relief

 

The Parties acknowledge that either Party’s breach of this Article 11 may cause the other Party irreparable injury for which it would not have an adequate remedy at law.  In the event of a breach, the non-breaching Party may be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to any other remedies it may have at law or in equity.

 

ARTICLE 12
 MISCELLANEOUS

 

12.1            Force Majeure and Failure of Suppliers.

 

(a)                                 Force Majeure.  Neither Party will be considered to be in breach of this Agreement if a delay in the performance of any of its duties or obligations hereunder (except the payment of money) has been caused by or is the result of an act of God, acts of a public enemy, acts of terrorism, insurrections, riots, embargoes, labor disputes, including strikes, lockouts, job actions, boycotts, fires, explosions, floods, shortages of material or energy, or other unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Party so affected (each an event of  “force majeure”).  The performance of the affected Party will be extended for a period equal to the period of such delay; provided, however, that affected Party will give prompt notice to the other Party of such cause, and will promptly take whatever reasonable steps are necessary to relieve the effect of such force majeure and resume compliance with this Agreement as soon as possible.  Should the event of force majeure continue for a period

 

[*] = 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.

 

33

 

longer than [*] days, then the Party not so affected may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.3(d).

 

(b)                                 Transfer of Production.  If Pfizer becomes subject to an event of force majeure which interferes with production of Product at the Facility, the Parties will mutually agree on implementation of an agreed-upon action plan to transfer production of Product to another Pfizer manufacturing facility.  The Parties will, after the execution of this Agreement and at the request of either Party, meet to discuss and define such an action plan.
