Lonza shall replace any cGMP Batch that failed to conform with the Specifications (a “Failed Batch”), in the event that it is determined (by the Parties or the independent laboratory or expert pursuant to this Section 7) that such failure was solely due to Lonza’s material breach of its obligations hereunder, negligence or intentional misconduct (“Lonza Responsibility”).  Such replacement shall be made as promptly as practicable.  Where possible, such replacement Batch shall be manufactured with the next scheduled cGMP Batch or Manufacturing campaign.  Pharmacyclics acknowledges and agrees that its sole remedy with respect to a Failed Batch that is a Lonza Responsibility is as set forth in this Clause 7.3.4, and in furtherance thereof, Pharmacyclics hereby waives all other remedies at law or in equity regarding the Failed Batch.

13.2

	
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Receiving Party may disclose to any courts and/or other authorities Confidential Information the disclosure of which is or will be required pursuant to applicable governmental or administrative or public law, rule, regulation or order.  In such case the Party that received the Confidential Information will, to the extent legally permitted, inform the other Party promptly in writing and cooperate with the Disclosing Party in seeking to minimize the extent of Confidential Information which is required to be disclosed to the courts and/or authorities.

 

	
13.3

	
The obligations of non-disclosure and non-use under this Agreement do not apply to Confidential Information, which:

 

	
  

	
(a)

	
at the time of disclosure was publicly available; or

 

	
  

	
(b)

	
is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party; or

 

	
  

	
(c)

	
as the Receiving Party can establish by competent proof, was rightfully in its possession at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party and had not been received from or on behalf of Disclosing Party; or

 

	
  

	
(d)

	
is supplied to a Party by a Third Party which was not in breach of an obligation of confidentiality to Disclosing Party or any oter Third Party; or

 

	
  

	
(e)

	
is developed by the Receiving Party independently from and without use of the Confidential Information, as evidenced by contemporaneous written records.

 

	
13.4

	
The Receiving Party may use Confidential Information only for the purposes of this Agreement and will not make any use of the Confidential Information for its own separate benefit or the benefit of any Third Party including, without limitation, with respect to research or product development or any reverse engineering or similar testing.  The Receiving Party agrees to return or destroy promptly (and certify such destruction) on Disclosing Party’s request all written or tangible Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, except that one copy of such Confidential Information may be kept by the Receiving Party in its confidential files for record keeping purposes only.

Each Party will restrict the disclosure of Confidential Information to such officers, employees, consultants and representatives of itself and its Affiliates who have been informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and who have a need to know such Confidential Information for the purpose of this Agreement.  Prior to disclosure to such persons, the Receiving Party shall bind its and its Affiliates’ officers, employees, consultants and representatives to confidentiality and non-use obligations no less stringent than those set forth herein.  The Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party as promptly as practicable of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information.

 

	
13.6

	
The Receiving Party shall at any time be fully liable for any and all breaches of the confidentiality obligations in this Clause 13 by any of its Affiliates or the employees, consultants and representatives of itself or its Affiliates.

 

	
13.7

	
Each Party hereto expressly agrees that any breach or threatened breach of the undertakings of confidentiality provided under this Clause 13 by a Party may cause irreparable harm to the other Party and that money damages may not provide a sufficient remedy to the non-breaching Party for any breach or threatened breach.  In the event of any breach and/or threatened breach, then, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief and any other relief deemed appropriate by the non-breaching Party.

 

	
14

	

Term and Termination

 

	
14.1

	
Term.  The initial period of this Agreement is for [**] years commencing on the Effective Date unless terminated earlier as provided in this Article 14 (the “Term”).

[**] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

14.2.3

[**]

15

	
Force Majeure

 

	
15.1

	
If Lonza is prevented or delayed in the performance of any of its obligations under the Agreement by Force Majeure and gives written notice thereof to Pharmacyclics specifying the matters constituting Force Majeure together with such evidence as Lonza reasonably can give and specifying the period for which it is estimated that such prevention or delay will continue, Lonza shall be excused from the performance or the punctual performance of such obligations as the case may be from the date of such notice for so long as such cause of prevention or delay shall continue. Provided that, if such Force Majeure persists for a period of [**] months or more, Pharmacyclics may terminate this Agreement by serving written notice to Lonza.

 

	
15.2

	
“Force Majeure” shall be deemed to include any reason or cause beyond Lonza’s reasonable control affecting the performance by Lonza of the Agreement, including, but not limited to, any use arising from or attributable to acts of God, strike, lockouts, labor troubles, restrictive governmental orders or decrees, riots, insurrection, war, terrorists acts, or the inability of Lonza to obtain any energy source, equipment, labor or transportation, at prices and on terms deemed by Lonza to be reasonably practicable, from Lonza’s usual sources of supply. In the event of a Force Majeure due to the nationalization of Lonza’s Facility, and if Lonza and Pharmacyclics agree to (i) relocate and re-establish the Process at another facility of Lonza and (ii) a reasonable adjustment of pricing of the Product to be Manufactured at the new facility, then Lonza shall be solely responsible for the costs of re-establishing the Process at the new facility, including any stability testing costs, and Pharmacyclics shall bear all costs associated with obtaining any Regulatory Authority approval required for the Manufacturing of Product at the new facility.
