(b)                                 “Selected Liabilities” shall mean certain current liabilities that are both recorded on the ParentCo Consolidated Balance Sheet in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and unpaid as of the Effective Time, in the following categories: accrued nondiscretionary cash bonus expenses, accrued clinical and development expenses, and accrued sales and marketing expenses.  For clarity, the Selected Liabilities shall be recorded on the Opening SpinCo Balance Sheet.

 

(c)                                  Payment of Current Liabilities.  ParentCo shall under the terms of each respective Contract remit payment to payees for all current liabilities that are both recorded on the ParentCo Consolidated Balance Sheet in accordance with GAAP and unpaid as of the Effective Time, with the exception of (i) the Selected Liabilities and (ii) any deferred revenue,  deferred rent, accrued vacation expenses, and accrued discretionary cash bonus expenses that are recorded on the Opening SpinCo Balance Sheet.  SpinCo shall remit payment for the Selected Liabilities to the payees identified by ParentCo under the terms of each respective Contract.

 

(d)                                 Initial Selected Liabilities Statement and Post-Closing Cash.  SpinCo shall provide ParentCo in writing with its estimate for the amount of the Selected Liabilities within fifteen (15) business days after the Effective Time (the “Selected Liabilities Statement”).  ParentCo shall have ten (10) business days following the receipt of the Selected Liabilities Statement to review and analyze SpinCo’s calculation of the amount set forth in the Selected Liabilities Statement (the “Post-Closing Cash”) and ParentCo shall then pay to SpinCo any undisputed part of the Post-Closing Cash.  If ParentCo does not agree with SpinCo’s calculation of the Post-Closing Cash, the parties shall work in good faith to resolve the disagreement.  After resolution of such disagreement, any payments owing either to SpinCo as a result of such adjustment shall be made within five (5) business days after the agreement of the parties.

 

2.6                               Termination of Agreements.  Except with respect to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (and agreements expressly contemplated herein or therein to survive by their terms), the Parties hereby terminate any and all written or oral agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings, between or among them, effective as of the Effective Time; and each Party shall, at the reasonable request of the other Party, take, or cause to be taken, such other actions as may be necessary to effect the foregoing.

 

2.7                               Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties.  THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY OR THEREBY, IS REPRESENTING OR WARRANTING IN ANY WAY AS TO THE SPINCO ASSETS, SPINCO BUSINESS OR SPINCO LIABILITIES CONTRIBUTED, TRANSFERRED, DISTRIBUTED OR ASSUMED AS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, AS TO ANY CONSENTS OR GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH, AS TO THE VALUE OR FREEDOM FROM ANY SECURITY INTERESTS OF, OR ANY OTHER MATTER CONCERNING, ANY SPINCO ASSETS, SPINCO BUSINESS OR SPINCO LIABILITIES OR AS TO THE ABSENCE OF ANY DEFENSES OR RIGHT OF SETOFF OR FREEDOM FROM COUNTERCLAIM WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY

 

15

 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, OF ANY PARTY, OR AS TO THE LEGAL SUFFICIENCY OF ANY CONTRIBUTION, DISTRIBUTION, ASSIGNMENT, DOCUMENT, CERTIFICATE OR INSTRUMENT DELIVERED HEREUNDER TO CONVEY TITLE TO ANY SPINCO ASSET OR THING OF VALUE UPON THE EXECUTION, DELIVERY AND FILING HEREOF OR THEREOF.  EXCEPT AS MAY EXPRESSLY BE SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, ALL SUCH SPINCO ASSETS ARE BEING TRANSFERRED ON AN “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” BASIS AND SO LONG AS THE TRANSFEROR IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT RELATING TO THE TRANSFER, THE TRANSFEREE SHALL BEAR THE ECONOMIC AND LEGAL RISKS THAT (I) ANY CONVEYANCE SHALL PROVE TO BE INSUFFICIENT TO VEST IN THE TRANSFEREE GOOD AND MARKETABLE TITLE, FREE AND CLEAR OF ANY SECURITY INTEREST, AND (II) ANY NECESSARY CONSENTS OR GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS ARE NOT OBTAINED OR THAT THE REQUIREMENTS OF LAWS, CONTRACTS, OR JUDGMENTS ARE NOT COMPLIED WITH.

(e)                                  ParentCo and SpinCo shall take all reasonable steps necessary and appropriate to cause the conditions set forth in Section 3.3 to be satisfied and to effect the Distribution on the Distribution Date.

(i)                                     ParentCo and SpinCo shall cooperate to change the name, effective on or prior to the Distribution Date, of any entity that is part of (i) SpinCo and any of its Affiliates so that the word “Theravance,” without “Biopharma” immediately following, is changed to “Theravance Biopharma”, and (ii) ParentCo and its Affiliates so that the words “Theravance Biopharma” are changed to “Theravance” without “Biopharma” as part of any such name.

(j)                                    No other events or developments shall have occurred that, in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of ParentCo, would result in the Distribution having a material adverse effect on ParentCo or on the stockholders of ParentCo or not being in the best interest of ParentCo and its stockholders.

Article IV

 

INSURANCE

 

4.1                               Policies and Rights Included Within the SpinCo Assets.  Without limiting the generality of the definition of the SpinCo Assets, the SpinCo Assets shall include (a) the SpinCo Policies and (b) any and all rights of an insured Party or its Affiliates under each of the ParentCo Pre-Distribution Policies, to the extent allowable under such Policies, including rights of indemnity and the right to be defended by or at the expense of the insurer, with respect to all injuries, losses, Liabilities, damages and expenses incurred or claimed to have been incurred prior to the Effective Time by any Party or any of its Affiliates in connection with the SpinCo Business (provided ParentCo shall have equal rights with respect to indemnity and the right to be defended to the extent practical and appropriate) and which injuries, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses may arise out of insured or insurable occurrences or events under one or more of the ParentCo Pre-Distribution Policies; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.1 shall be deemed to constitute (or to reflect) the assignment of the ParentCo Pre-Distribution Policies, or any of them, to SpinCo.

 

4.2                               Post-Effective Time Claims.

 

(a)                                 If, subsequent to the Effective Time, any Person shall assert a claim against SpinCo or its Affiliates with respect to any injury, loss, Liability, damage or expense incurred or claimed to have been incurred prior to the Effective Time, including claims related to the SpinCo Business, or in connection with the Distribution, and such injury, loss, Liability, damage or expense may have or has arisen out of insured or insurable occurrences, claims or events under one or more of the ParentCo Pre-Distribution Policies, ParentCo shall at the time such claim is asserted (except to the extent inconsistent with Section 4.1 and to the extent allowable under the ParentCo Pre-Distribution Policies) be deemed to assign, without need of further documentation, to SpinCo or its Affiliates, any and all rights of an insured party under the applicable ParentCo Pre-Distribution Policy with respect to such asserted claim, including rights of indemnity and the right to be defended by or at the expense of the insurer; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.2 shall be deemed to constitute (or to reflect) the assignment of the ParentCo Pre-Distribution Policies, or any of them, to SpinCo.

 

(b)                                 In the event that any ParentCo Pre-Distribution Policy does not allow such assignment of a claim to SpinCo or its Affiliates, at SpinCo’s sole option, cost and expense,

 

19

 

claims for coverage of insured SpinCo Liabilities shall be tendered by ParentCo as necessary to invoke the benefit of the ParentCo Pre-Distribution Policies.  If such insurers do not promptly acknowledge insurance coverage in connection with such insured SpinCo Liabilities, then, with respect to such insured SpinCo Liabilities, SpinCo, on an as-incurred basis (i) shall advance all amounts expended by ParentCo, incurred at the request of SpinCo, for or with respect to such insured SpinCo Liabilities, including all costs and expenses in connection with the defense and settlement and in satisfaction of any judgment incurred, and amounts sufficient to cover any Liabilities required to be paid by ParentCo or its Subsidiaries, and (ii) shall pay all costs incurred in connection with pursuing and recovering Insurance Proceeds with respect to the insured SpinCo Liabilities, but only to the extent so requested by SpinCo, which shall be entitled to direct such recovery efforts.  Any payments made to ParentCo or its Subsidiaries by SpinCo or the SpinCo Subsidiaries on account of such insured SpinCo Liabilities shall be deemed to be advances pursuant to this Section 4.2.  SpinCo and the SpinCo Subsidiaries shall have the right to recover any advances made pursuant to Section 4.3 from ParentCo and its Subsidiaries, and ParentCo and its Subsidiaries shall have the obligation promptly to reimburse SpinCo and the SpinCo Subsidiaries for such advances, solely from the Insurance Proceeds of the ParentCo Pre-Distribution Policies that cover such insured SpinCo Liabilities and that are received by ParentCo or its Subsidiaries.  ParentCo and its Subsidiaries (i) shall, at all times until paid to SpinCo, hold Insurance Proceeds received for or with respect to insured SpinCo Liabilities in trust for the benefit of SpinCo; and (ii) shall promptly remit such Insurance Proceeds to SpinCo.

 

4.3                               ParentCo Policies.  ParentCo shall, to the extent that the ParentCo Policies cover the SpinCo Liabilities, after discussion with SpinCo, either (a) maintain the ParentCo Policies, (b) buy replacement insurance, or (c) purchase an extended reporting period endorsement for the ParentCo Policies.  In each of (a), (b) and (c), such coverage shall be at the expense of SpinCo and be of a type and with a limit and terms and conditions similar to those in force under the ParentCo Policies as of the Effective Time and shall be maintained for a minimum of eight (8)  years after the Effective Time.

(ii)                                  any Liability provided in or resulting from any other Contract or understanding that is entered into after the Effective Time between one Party (and/or a member of such Party’s Affiliates), on the one hand, and the other Party (and/or a member of such Party’s Affiliates), on the other hand; and

 

(iii)                               any Liability that the Parties may have with respect to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise for claims brought against the Parties by a Third Party, which Liability shall be governed by the provisions of this Article V and, if applicable, the appropriate provisions of the Ancillary Agreements.

 

(d)                                 Each Party shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, make any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or indemnification, against the other Party or any member of the other Party’s Affiliates, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 5.1(a) and Section 5.1(b), with respect to any and all Liabilities released pursuant to Section 5.1(a) and Section 5.1(b).

(f)                                   Each Party hereby acknowledges that it has considered the possibility that it may not now fully know the nature or value of the claims which are generally released pursuant to this Section 5.1 and that such general release extends to all claims of every nature

 

21

 

and kind, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, past or present, however arising, and that any and all rights granted to such Party pursuant to Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or any analogous applicable state or federal law or regulation are hereby expressly waived.  Said Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California reads as follows:

 

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

 

(g)                                  If any Person associated with a Party (including any director, officer or employee of a Party) initiates an Action with respect to claims released by this Section 5.1, the Party with which such Person is associated shall indemnify the other Party against such Action in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Article V.

 

(h)                                 At any time, at the request of a Party, each Party shall, and to the extent practicable, cause each other Person on whose behalf it released Liabilities pursuant to this Section 5.1, to execute and deliver releases in customary form reflecting the provisions hereof.

 

5.2                               Indemnification by SpinCo.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, following the Effective Time, SpinCo shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless ParentCo and its Affiliates and all Persons who at any time prior to the Effective Time were directors, officers, agents or employees of ParentCo or any of its Affiliates (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), in each case, together with their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns (collectively, the “ParentCo Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities and related losses of the ParentCo Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following:

 

(a)                                 The failure of SpinCo, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge after the Effective Time any SpinCo Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms;

 

(b)                                 The SpinCo Liabilities (including any subsequently identified SpinCo Liabilities under Section 2.2(e));

 

(c)                                  Any untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission of a material fact in the Form 10, resulting in a misleading statement, with respect to all information contained in the Form 10; and

 

(d)                                 Any breach by SpinCo of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements.

 

5.3                               Indemnification by ParentCo.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, following the Effective Time, ParentCo shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless SpinCo, its Subsidiaries and any of their respective Affiliates and all Persons who are directors, officers, agents or employees of SpinCo, its Subsidiaries  or any of their respective Affiliates (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), in each case, together with their

 

22

 

respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns (collectively, the “SpinCo Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities and related losses of the SpinCo Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items:

 

(a)                                 The failure of ParentCo, its Affiliates or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge after the Effective Time any Excluded Liabilities;

 

(b)                                 The Excluded Liabilities; and

 

(c)                                  Any breach by ParentCo of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements.

 

5.4                               Reduction for Insurance Proceeds and Other Recoveries.

 

(a)                                 The amount that any Party is required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) to or on behalf of the Party entitled to such indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) pursuant to this Article V, shall be reduced (retroactively or prospectively) by Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered from Third Parties on behalf of such Indemnitee in respect of the Liability or related loss.  If an Indemnitee receives a payment as required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability or related loss (an “Indemnity Payment”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds in respect of such Liability or related loss, then such Indemnitee shall hold such Insurance Proceeds in trust for the benefit of the Indemnifying Party (or Indemnifying Parties) and shall pay to the Indemnifying Party, as promptly as practicable after receipt, a sum equal to the amount of such Insurance Proceeds received, up to the aggregate amount of any payments received from the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such indemnifiable loss of such Insurance Proceeds.

 

(b)                                 An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a “windfall” (i.e., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall be required to use reasonable best efforts to collect or recover any available Insurance Proceeds.

 

5.5                               Procedures For Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.  The following procedures shall apply to indemnification of Third-Party Claims under this Agreement.

 

(a)                                 If an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Third Party (including any Governmental entity) of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (collectively, a “Third-Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party and each Party to this Agreement, written notice thereof as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than thirty (30) days after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim.  Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail.  If any Party shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim which may reasonably be determined to be a Liability of the Parties, such Party shall give the

 

23

 

other Party to this Agreement written notice thereof within thirty (30) days after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim.  Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnitee or other Party to give notice as provided in this Section 5.5(a) shall not relieve the related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article V, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.

 

(b)                                 An Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim, at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel; provided that if the defendants in any such claim include both the Indemnifying Party and one or more Indemnitees and in such Indemnitees’ reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such Indemnitees and such Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such claim, such Indemnitees shall have the right to employ separate counsel and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel (but not more than one separate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party) shall be paid by such Indemnifying Party.  Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 5.5(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such Third-Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee of its election whether the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for defending such Third-Party Claim.  After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the expense of such Indemnitee.

 

(c)                                  With respect to any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party and Indemnitees agree, and shall cause their respective counsel (if applicable), to cooperate fully (in a manner that will preserve all attorney-client privilege or other privileges) to mitigate any such claim and minimize the defense costs associated therewith.

 

(d)                                 If an Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such claim, the Indemnitee will, upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party, have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim on behalf of and for the account of the Indemnifying Party subject to the limitations as set forth in this Section 5.5; provided, however, that such Third-Party Claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  If the Indemnitee assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, it shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement.  The Indemnifying Party shall reimburse all such costs and expenses of the Indemnitee in the event it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to such Third-Party Claim.  In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable for any settlement effected without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

 

24

 

5.6                               Additional Matters.  The following shall apply to indemnification matters under this Agreement.

 

(a)                                 Any claim on account of a Liability which does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the related Indemnifying Party.  Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto.  If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such sixty (60) day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted responsibility to make payment.  If such Indemnifying Party rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party as contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

 

(b)                                 In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim or against any other person.  Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense (including allocated costs of in-house counsel and other in-house personnel) of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

 

(c)                                  In the event of an Action in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if the Indemnifying Party shall so request, the Parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant, and add the Indemnifying Party as a named defendant if at all practicable.  If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying Party to manage the Action as set forth in this section and subject to Section 5.5 with respect to Liabilities, the Indemnifying Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant against all costs of defending the Action (including court costs, sanctions imposed by a court, attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees and all other external expenses, and the allocated costs of in-house counsel and other in-house personnel), the costs of any judgment or settlement, and the cost of any interest or penalties relating to any judgment or settlement.

 

5.7                               Survival of Indemnities.  The rights and obligations of each Party and their respective Indemnitees under this Article V shall survive the sale or other transfer by any Party or its Affiliates of any assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any and all Liabilities.

 

Article VI

Article VII

 

CONFIDENTIALITY

 

7.1                               Confidentiality.

 

(a)                                 Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement and subject to Section 7.2, for a period of ten (10) years after the Distribution Date, each Party agrees to hold, and to cause its respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives to hold, in strict confidence, and undertake all reasonable precautions to safeguard and protect the confidentiality of, all Information concerning the other Party that is in its possession after the Distribution Date or furnished by the other Party or its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise, and shall not use any such Information other than for such purposes as shall be expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder, except, in each case, to the extent that such Information has been (i) in the public domain through no fault of such Party, its respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives, (ii) lawfully acquired from other sources, which are not bound by a confidentiality obligation, by such Party or its respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or (iii) independently generated without reference to any proprietary or confidential Information of the other Party or its Subsidiaries.

 

(b)                                 Each Party agrees not to release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any such Information to any other Person, except its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives who need to know such Information and who are informed and advised that the Information is confidential and subject to the obligations hereunder, except in compliance with Section 7.2.  Without limiting the foregoing, when any Information is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, each Party will promptly after request of the other Party either (i) destroy all copies of the Information in such Party’s possession, custody or control (including any that may be stored in any computer, word processor, or similar device, to the

 

26

 

extent not commercially impractical to destroy such copies) including any copies, summaries, analyses, compilations, reports, extracts or other reproductions, in whole or in part, of such written, electronic or other tangible material or any other materials in written, electronic or other tangible format based on, reflecting or containing Information prepared by such Party, and/or (ii) return to the requesting Party, at the expense of the requesting Party, all copies of the Information furnished to such Party by or on behalf of the requesting Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may maintain the confidential Information of the other Party that is contained in such Party’s electronic back-up files that are created in the normal course of business pursuant to such Party’s standard protocol for preserving its electronic records.

 

7.2                               Protective Arrangements.  In the event that either Party or their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, either (i) determines after consultation with counsel, in the opinion of such counsel that it is required by law to disclose any Information, or (ii) receives any demand under lawful process or from any Governmental entity to disclose or provide Information of the other Party or their respective Subsidiaries that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such Party shall notify the other Party prior to disclosing or providing such Information and shall cooperate at the expense of the requesting party (and to the extent legally permissible) in seeking any reasonable protective arrangements requested by such other Party.  Subject to the foregoing, the Party that received such request may thereafter (i) furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required, (ii) give notice to the other Party of the Information to be disclosed as far in advance as is practical, and (iii) exercise reasonable best efforts to obtain reliable assurance that the confidential nature of such Information shall be maintained.

 

Article VIII

 

ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND SERVICES

 

8.1                               Provision of Books and Records.

 

(a)                                 Except as otherwise provided in any Ancillary Agreement, as soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, ParentCo and SpinCo shall cooperate to provide that originals of SpinCo Books and Records (including all documents and electronically stored information except e-mails or other electronic correspondence not readily available in hard copy) which solely relate to SpinCo or the conduct of the SpinCo Business, as the case may be, up to the Effective Time, are in the possession or control of SpinCo or a SpinCo Subsidiary.

 

(b)                                 With respect to SpinCo Books and Records (including e-mails and other electronic correspondence not readily available in hard copy) that relate to both the SpinCo Business and the ParentCo Business (the “Combined Books and Records”), (i) the Parties shall use good faith efforts to divide as soon as practicable but no later than six (6) months following the Distribution Date such Combined Books and Records into the books and records which solely relate to ParentCo or the conduct of the ParentCo Business and those that relate solely to SpinCo and the SpinCo Business, as the case may be, up to the Effective Time, as appropriate, and (ii) to the extent such Combined Books and Records are not so divided, each Party shall keep and maintain copies of such Combined Books and Records as reasonably appropriate under the

 

27

 

circumstances, subject to applicable confidentiality provisions hereof and of any Ancillary Agreement.

 

8.2                               Access to Information.  Except as otherwise provided in any Ancillary Agreement, after the Distribution Date, each Party shall provide the other Party and such other Party’s authorized accountants, counsel and other designated representatives reasonable access and duplicating rights during normal business hours to all records, books, contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and Information relating to pre-Distribution operations of the SpinCo Business or ParentCo Business, as applicable, or within such Party’s possession or control or such other Information reasonably necessary for the preparation, review or auditing for spin-out financials for such other Party (including using reasonable best efforts to give access to Persons or firms possessing Information) insofar as such access is reasonably required by such other Party for the conduct of the SpinCo Business or ParentCo Business, as applicable, subject to appropriate restrictions for classified or privileged information.

 

8.3                               Production of Witnesses.  At all times after the Effective Time, each of SpinCo and ParentCo shall use reasonable best efforts to make available to the other, upon prior written request, its and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, employees and agents as witnesses to the extent that such Persons may reasonably be required in connection with any Action.

 

8.4                               Reimbursement.  Except to the extent otherwise contemplated in any Ancillary Agreements, a Party providing any information under Section 8.2 or witness services under Section 8.3 to the other Party shall be entitled to receive from the recipient, upon the presentation of invoices therefor, payments of such amounts, relating to supplies, disbursements and other out-of-pocket expenses (at cost) and direct and indirect expenses of employees who are witnesses or otherwise furnish assistance (at cost), as may be reasonably incurred in providing any such information under Section 8.2 or witness services under Section 8.3.

 

8.5                               Privileged Matters.  To allocate the interests of each Party with respect to privileged information, the Parties agree as follows:

 

(a)                                 ParentCo shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information which relates solely to the ParentCo Business, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of ParentCo or SpinCo.  ParentCo shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting Liabilities of ParentCo and its Affiliates and all Persons who at any time prior to or as of the Effective Time were directors, officers, agents or employees of ParentCo or any of its Affiliates (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), in each case, together with their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other Actions initiated against or by ParentCo, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of ParentCo or SpinCo.

 

(b)                                 SpinCo shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information which relates solely to the SpinCo Business, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of

 

28

 

ParentCo or SpinCo.  SpinCo shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information which relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting SpinCo Liabilities, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other Actions initiated against or by SpinCo, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of SpinCo or under the control of ParentCo or SpinCo.

 

(c)                                  ParentCo and SpinCo agree that they shall have a shared privilege, with equal right to assert or waive, subject to the restrictions of this Section 8.5, with respect to all privileges not allocated pursuant to the terms of Sections 8.5(a) and (b).  All privileges relating to any claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes or other matters which involve both ParentCo and SpinCo in respect of which ParentCo and SpinCo retain any responsibility or liability under this Agreement shall be subject to a shared privilege.

 

(d)                                 No Party may waive any privilege which could be asserted under any applicable law, if the other Party has a shared privilege, without the consent of the other Party, except to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation with Third Parties or as provided in Section 8.5(e).  Such consent shall be in writing, or shall be deemed to be granted unless written objection is made within twenty (20) days after notice upon the other Party requesting such consent.

 

(e)                                  In the event of any litigation or dispute between the Parties and any of its Affiliates, either Party may waive a privilege in which the other Party has a shared privilege, without obtaining the consent of the other Party, provided that such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of Information with respect to the litigation or dispute between the Parties and any of its Affiliates, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to Third Parties.

 

(f)                                   If a dispute arises between the Parties regarding whether a privilege should be waived to protect or advance the interest of either Party, each Party agrees that it shall negotiate in good faith, shall endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party, and shall not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for waiver by the other Party.  Each Party specifically agrees that it will not withhold consent to waiver for any purpose except to protect its own legitimate interests.

 

(g)                                  Upon receipt by any Party of any subpoena, discovery or other request which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Information subject to a shared privilege or as to which the other Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege, or if any Party obtains knowledge that any of its current or former directors, officers, agents or employees has received any subpoena, discovery or other request which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of such privileged information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of the request and shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the Information and to assert any rights it may have under this Section 8.5 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of such privileged information.

 

(h)                                 The transfer of all Information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of ParentCo and SpinCo, as set forth in this Section 8.5 and elsewhere

 

29

 

in this Agreement, to maintain the confidentiality of privileged information and to assert and maintain applicable privileges.  The access to Information being granted pursuant to Sections 8.1 and 8.2, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to Section 8.3 and the transfer of privileged information between the Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

8.6                               GSK Agreements.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, ParentCo shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) not to, take (or omit to take) any action (including, without limitation, the disclosure of any information to SpinCo or any of its Representatives), that is or would be reasonably expected to result in a breach or violation of, or be in conflict with, any ParentCo confidentiality obligation to GSK under the Collaboration Agreement and/or the Strategic Alliance Agreement.  To the extent that SpinCo or any of its Representatives becomes aware or believes that it has or may have received from ParentCo or any of its Representatives Confidential Information (as defined in the Collaboration Agreement or the Strategic Alliance Agreement) of GSK, it will promptly notify ParentCo in writing, will follow any reasonable instructions from ParentCo with respect to the return or destruction of such information, and will not use or disclose such information unless ParentCo confirms that it is not Confidential Information (as defined in the Collaboration Agreement or the Strategic Alliance Agreement) of GSK.  Each party agrees and understands that monetary damages would not adequately compensate the non-breaching party for a breach of this Section 8.6, that this Section 8.6 shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be specifically enforceable, and that any breach or threatened breach of this Section 8.6  shall be the proper subject of a temporary or permanent injunction or restraining order sought pursuant to Section 12.9 hereof.  Further, ParentCo and SpinCo waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for such breach or threatened breach.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, SpinCo acknowledges and agrees that it has no rights to any non-public information under the Collaboration Agreement and/or the Strategic Alliance Agreement, the disclosure of which by ParentCo or any of its Representatives to SpinCo or any of its Representatives is or would be reasonably expected to result in a breach or violation of, or be in conflict with, any ParentCo confidentiality obligation to GSK under the Collaboration Agreement and/or the Strategic Alliance Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, in the event of any conflict between this Section 8.6, or any covenant, right, agreement, obligation or duty of ParentCo or SpinCo (or any of their respective Representatives) under this Section 8.6, on the one hand, and any other provision of this Agreement, or any attachment hereto or any covenant, right, agreement, obligation or duty of ParentCo or SpinCo (or any of their respective Representatives) thereunder, on the other hand, this Section 8.6 shall govern and supersede such other provision, attachment, covenant, agreement, obligation or duty. Each party will be liable for breach of this Section 8.6 by any of its Representatives.

 

Article IX

 

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

9.1                               Disputes and Negotiation.  ParentCo and SpinCo recognize that disputes as to certain matters may from time to time arise during the effectiveness of this Agreement and the

 

30

 

Ancillary Agreements which relate to either Party’s rights and obligations hereunder or thereunder.  It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of disputes arising under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (other than the TRC Operating Agreement) in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to litigation.  To accomplish this objective, the Parties agree to follow the procedures set forth in this Article IX if and when a dispute arises under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (other than the TRC Operating Agreement).  In the event of a dispute between the Parties, a designated representative of each of ParentCo and SpinCo will meet as reasonably requested by either Party to review any such dispute.  If the disagreement is not resolved by the designated representatives by mutual agreement within thirty (30) days after a meeting to discuss the disagreement, either Party may at any time thereafter provide the other Party written notice specifying the terms of such disagreement in reasonable detail.  Upon receipt of such notice, the chief executive officers of ParentCo and SpinCo shall meet at a mutually agreed upon time and location for the purpose of resolving such disagreement.  The chief executive officers of ParentCo and SpinCo will discuss such disagreement and/or negotiate for a period of up to sixty (60) days in an effort to resolve such disagreement or negotiate an acceptable interpretation or revision of the applicable portion of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (other than the TRC Operating Agreement) mutually agreeable to both Parties, without the necessity of formal procedures relating thereto.  During the course of such negotiations, the Parties will reasonably cooperate and provide information that is not materially confidential in order that each of the Parties may be fully informed with respect to the issues in dispute.  The institution of a formal proceeding, including arbitration under Section 9.2, to resolve the disagreement may occur by written notice to the other Party only after the earlier of: (i) the chief executive officers of ParentCo and SpinCo mutually agreeing that resolution of the disagreement through continued negotiation is not likely to occur; or (ii) the expiration of the sixty (60) day negotiation period.

 

9.2                               Dispute Resolution and Arbitration.  Disputes arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (other than the TRC Operating Agreement), or in relations between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, for any reason or under any circumstances, will be finally settled by a single arbitrator in a binding arbitration in accordance with the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”).  Upon receipt of written notice by one Party to the other of the existence of a dispute, the Parties shall, within thirty (30) days conduct a meeting of one or more senior executives of each Party, with full settlement authority, in an attempt to resolve the dispute.  Each Party shall make available appropriate personnel to meet and confer with the other Party reasonably within the thirty-day period.  Upon the expiration of the thirty-day period, or upon the termination of discussions between the senior executives, either Party may elect arbitration of any dispute by written notice to the other (the “Arbitration Notice”).  The arbitration shall be held in San Francisco, California before one (1) arbitrator from JAMS  having substantial experience as a jurist and mediator with significant disputes in the pharmaceutical industry selected by the mutual agreement of SpinCo and ParentCo; provided, however, that if such parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the Arbitration Notice, either Party may request JAMS select the arbitrator, and JAMS shall select an arbitrator pursuant to the procedure set out by the Rules; provided, however, that the arbitrator selected by JAMS shall be a former judge with at least fifteen (15) years’ experience addressing as a jurist and/or mediator significant disputes in the pharmaceutical industry.  The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to the Rules.  Judgment on the

 

31

 

arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  The arbitrator may, in the arbitration award, allocate for payment by the non-prevailing party all or part of the costs of the arbitration, including fees of the arbitrator and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the prevailing party.  This Section shall not preclude the parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration or equitable relief from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.  In respect of any actions for such provisional remedies, injunctive or other equitable relief hereunder, any action or proceeding may be brought against any Party in the state and federal courts located in the county of San Mateo, California and each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of such courts in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein.

 

9.3                               Confidentiality. The arbitration proceeding shall be confidential and the arbitrator(s) shall issue appropriate protective orders to safeguard each Party’s confidential Information. Except as required by law, no Party shall make (or instruct the arbitrator(s) to make) any public announcement with respect to the proceedings or decision of the arbitrator(s) without prior written consent of each other Party. The existence of any dispute submitted to arbitration, and the award, shall be kept in confidence by the Parties and the arbitrator(s), except as may be required in connection with the enforcement of such award or as otherwise required by applicable law or regulatory authority.

 

9.4                               Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS AND BUSINESS INTERRUPTION.

 

Article X

 

FURTHER ASSURANCES

12.8                        Waivers of Default.  The failure of either Party to require strict performance by the other Party of any provision in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement will not waive or diminish such Party’s right to demand strict performance thereafter of that or any other provision hereof.

 

12.9                        Specific Performance.  The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms.

12.10                 Waiver of Jury Trial. SUBJECT TO ARTICLE IX HEREIN, EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY COURT PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF AND PERMITTED UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

(a)                                 SpinCo hereby retains ParentCo to provide, and ParentCo hereby agrees to provide, the ParentCo Services to SpinCo or any of its Subsidiaries, as designated by SpinCo, during the relevant Services Term.

 

(b)                                 ParentCo hereby retains SpinCo to provide, and SpinCo hereby agrees to provide, the SpinCo Services to ParentCo or any of its Subsidiaries, as designated by ParentCo, during the relevant Services Term.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the ParentCo Services shall be available to SpinCo or any of its Subsidiaries only for the purposes of conducting the SpinCo Business substantially in the same manner as it was conducted immediately prior to the Distribution Date; and (ii) the SpinCo Services shall be available to ParentCo or any of its Subsidiaries only for the purposes of conducting the ParentCo Business substantially in the same manner as it was conducted immediately prior to the Distribution Date.

 

(d) any employee or consultant of ParentCo or SpinCo who will be performing any Service hereunder shall, as a condition to performing such Service, sign a confidentiality  agreement in the form attached as Schedule C or Schedule D, as applicable.

 

2.2                               Provision of Services.  The ParentCo Services may be directly provided by ParentCo or may be provided through any of its Affiliates or subcontractors, and the SpinCo Services may be directly provided by SpinCo or may be provided through any of its Affiliates or subcontractors; provided, however, that the applicable Service Provider shall remain responsible, in accordance with this Agreement, for performance of any Service it causes to be so provided.

 

2.3                               No Assumption or Modification of Obligations.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to (a) constitute the assumption by Service Provider or any of its Affiliates, or the agreement to assume, any duties, obligations or liabilities of Service Recipient or its Affiliates whatsoever; or (b) alter, amend or otherwise modify any obligation of ParentCo or SpinCo, as the case may be, under the Separation Agreement.

 

2.4                               Application of Resources.  Unless otherwise expressly required under the terms of the Separation Agreement or any Schedules, or otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, in providing the Services, Service Provider or its Affiliates shall not be obligated to: (a) expend funds and other resources beyond levels that would be customary and reasonable for any other nationally recognized service provider to perform services that are similar to the relevant Services; (b) maintain the employment of any specific employee or subcontractor; provided, however that Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a replacement with the necessary skill and expertise; (c) purchase, lease or license any additional (measured as of the date hereof) equipment or materials (but expressly excluding any renewal or extension of any leases or licenses required for Service Provider to perform the relevant Services during the relevant Services Term); (d) pay any of Service Recipient’s costs related to its or any

 

3

 

of its Subsidiaries’ receipt of the Services; (e) lend any funds to a Service Recipient or its Subsidiaries; or (f) make any payments or disbursements on behalf of Service Recipient, except to the extent Service Recipient has previously delivered to Service Provider sufficient funds to make any such payment or disbursement.

 

2.5                               Performance of Services.  Subject to the other terms (a) in this Agreement setting forth and circumscribing Service Provider’s performance obligations hereunder (including in this Article 2 and in Article 6), and (b) in the relevant Schedules, each Service Provider shall perform the Services required to be provided by it hereunder in a manner specifically described in the relevant Schedules, or, to the extent not so described in such Schedules, in a manner that is substantially the same in nature, accuracy, quality, completeness, timeliness, responsiveness and efficiency with how such relevant Services have been rendered in support of the SpinCo Business and/or the ParentCo Business prior to the Distribution Date.  To the extent that either ParentCo or SpinCo determines that any sharing of information or historical knowledge would be commercially detrimental in any material respect, violate any Law or agreement or waive any attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine or other applicable privilege, the Parties shall take all reasonable measures to permit the compliance with such obligations in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence.

 

2.6                               Transitional Nature of Services; Changes.  The Parties acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Service Provider may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services if such Service Provider is making similar changes in performing similar services for itself and/or its Subsidiaries; provided that Service Provider must provide Service Recipient with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of material changes and reasonably cooperate with Service Recipient in adjusting to such change.

 

2.7                               Additional Services; Extension of Services Terms.  In the event that the Parties identify and agree upon (a) an additional service to be provided under this Agreement, as well as the related fees and other specific terms and conditions applicable thereto (an “Additional Service”), or (b) an extension of any particular Service Term for any Services Group, as well as the related fees and other specific terms and conditions applicable thereto, the Parties shall execute an amendment to this Agreement that provides for the substitution of the relevant Schedule, or additions of supplements to the relevant Schedule, in order to describe such Additional Service or extension, and the agreed upon related fees and other specific terms and conditions applicable thereto.  It is understood that the Service Provider has no obligation to provide Additional Services and may reject any request by any Service Recipient for Additional Services for any reason or for no reason.

 

2.8                               Impracticability.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10, Service Provider shall not be required to provide any Service to the extent: (a) that the performance of the Services would (i) require Service Provider or any of its Subsidiaries to violate any applicable Laws (including any applicable codes or standards of conduct established by any Governmental Entity with respect to their activities subject to the jurisdiction of such Governmental Entity) or any internal policy reasonably adopted in order to comply with any applicable Laws; (ii) result in the breach of any software license, lease, or other Contract; or (iii) require prior approval of a Governmental Entity (except to the extent such approval has already been obtained); or (b) that

 

4

 

Service Provider cannot provide such Service due to a Force Majeure event; provided, however that Service Provider shall resume such Service as soon as practicable after such Force Majeure event.

 

2.9                               Project Managers.  ParentCo shall designate from time to time at least one individual, and shall inform SpinCo of the identity of such individual, to whom all of SpinCo’s communications may be addressed with respect to the ParentCo Services and who has authority to act for and bind ParentCo in all aspects with respect to the ParentCo Services (the “ParentCo Project Manager”).   SpinCo shall designate from time to time at least one individual and shall inform ParentCo of the identity of such individual, to whom all of ParentCo’s communications may be addressed with respect to the SpinCo Services and who has authority to act for and bind SpinCo in all aspects with respect to the SpinCo Services (the “SpinCo Project Manager”).   The initial ParentCo Project Manager designated by ParentCo shall be Michael W. Aguiar and the initial SpinCo Project Manager designated by SpinCo shall be Renee D. Gala.

 

2.10                        Cooperation.  In the event that there is nonperformance of any Service as a result of impracticability pursuant to Section 2.8, the Parties agree to work together in good faith to arrange for an alternative means by which the applicable Service Recipient may obtain, at its sole cost and expense, the Service so affected.  The Service Provider shall cooperate with the Service Recipient in connection with the performance of the Services, including producing on a timely basis all Contracts, documents and other information that is reasonably requested with respect to the performance of Services; provided, however, that such cooperation shall not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of the Service Recipient or its respective Subsidiaries.

 

2.11                        Independent Contractor Relationship.  The relationship of the Parties hereunder is that of independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or shall be construed to, create a partnership, agency, joint venture, employment or similar relationship.

 

Article 3
 PRICING

 

3.1                               Fees.  In consideration of Services performed pursuant to this Agreement, the Parties shall pay the applicable fees set forth in the Schedules with respect to each Service (individually a “Fee” and collectively the “Fees”).

Fees shall be payable by Service Recipient within thirty (30) days after Service Recipient’s receipt of an invoice (the “Due Date”).  All amounts (i) payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be paid to Service Provider as directed by Service Provider, and (ii) due and payable hereunder shall be invoiced and paid in U.S. dollars, except as may be expressly provided in any relevant Schedule.  A Service Recipient’s obligation to make any required payments under this Agreement shall not be subject to any unilateral right of offset, set-off, deduction or counterclaim, however arising.

 

(b)                                 Default Interest Rate.  Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2(c), amounts not paid on or before the Due Date shall be payable with accrued interest thereon, from the date

 

5

 

originally due, at an interest rate per annum equal to the prime rate as published by The Wall Street Journal (or any successor) as its prime rate in effect on the date that such payment was first due plus two percent (2%).

 

(c)                                  Disputes.  In the event that Service Recipient disputes the accuracy of any invoice or portion thereof, Service Recipient shall provide Service Provider on or prior to the Due Date written notice of the disputed amounts, together with a statement of the particulars of the dispute.  Should Service Recipient fail to provide notice of any disputed amounts on or before the Due Date, the amounts set forth on the invoice shall be owed with interest at the Default Interest Rate from the Due Date until payment is received.  Should Service Recipient provide the required information on or before the Due Date, Service Provider shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of the required information to reject Service Recipient’s modified invoice (or portion thereof) by providing Service Recipient notice of such rejection within such 30-day period.  Should Service Provider fail to provide such notice within the time period allowed, Service Recipient’s modified invoice (or portion thereof) shall be deemed to be the correct invoice.  Should Service Provider provide the required notice within such 30-day period, resolution of the disputed invoice shall be in accordance with the provisions of Article 11 hereof.  If Service Recipient has underpaid the amount actually due, Service Recipient shall remit to the Service Provider, within five (5) business days after receipt of the determination from Service Provider, any amount due plus interest at the Default Interest Rate from the Due Date until paid.  Notwithstanding any disputed invoice or portion thereof, Service Recipient shall nevertheless pay when due any undisputed amount of such invoice to Service Provider.

 

3.3                               Taxes.  If any Governmental Entity shall impose a tax on the Services rendered to a Service Recipient or its Subsidiaries by Service Provider hereunder, Service Recipient agrees to pay, or remit to Service Provider so that Service Provider may pay, the amount of such tax imposed now or in the future on the Services rendered to Service Recipient or its Subsidiaries by Service Provider under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Service Recipient shall have no liability for, and shall not be obligated to pay for, any property taxes of any kind or type applicable to the property of Service Provider or any of its Subsidiaries or any income taxes of any kind or type applicable to the income of Service Provider or any of its Subsidiaries, except as may be expressly provided in any relevant Schedule.

 

3.4                               Expenses.  In addition to the payment of all Fees, at the end of each month during the Services Term, Service Recipient shall reimburse Service Provider for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Service Provider or its Subsidiaries in connection with providing the Services (including pass-through costs for third party contractors and travel-related expenses); provided, however, that any such costs and expenses greater than $75,000 must be pre-approved in writing.  Any travel-related expenses incurred in performing the Services shall be incurred and charged to Service Recipient in accordance with Service Provider’s then applicable business travel policies.

In the event a Service Recipient requires a change to the internal controls or procedures, or requires the implementation of additional internal controls or procedures, related to the Services required to be provided to such Service Recipient in order for such Service Recipient to comply with

 

7

 

changes to applicable Law, Service Provider shall change or add to such Service Provider’s internal controls or procedures related to such Services as reasonably requested by such Service Recipient; provided, however, in connection with a Service Provider changing or adding to internal controls or procedures as required by the foregoing, Service Recipient shall pay for any and all additional costs and expenses associated with the implementation or maintenance of the applicable change or addition; provided further, however, that if such change or addition is required for the compliance by both Parties with a Law applicable to both Parties, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith an equitable sharing of the costs and expenses associated with such change or addition.

8

 

REVENUE, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF USE OR OF DATA, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS OR OTHERWISE) RESULTING OR ARISING FROM THE SERVICES, ANY PERFORMANCE OR NONPERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES OR TERMINATION OF THE SERVICES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES OR OTHER RELIEF ARE SOUGHT BASED ON BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH DAMAGES RELATE TO A CLAIM FOR INDEMNIFICATION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 10, A BREACH OF ANY OF THE CONFIDENTIALITY PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SEPARATION AGREEMENT, OR FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE SERVICE PROVIDER OR ITS AFFILIATES.

Any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, nonperformance, validity, termination or breach of this Agreement or otherwise arising out of, or in any way related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any claim based on contract, tort, statute or constitution (but excluding any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of any Contract relating to the use or lease of real property if any third party is a necessary party to such controversy, dispute or claim) (collectively, “Agreement Dispute”), shall be governed by, and be subject to, the provisions of Article IX of the Separation Agreement, which provisions (and related defined terms) are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

 

Article 12
 PROPERTY RIGHTS

 

The Parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement is intended to transfer any right, title, or interest in and to any tangible, intangible, real or personal property (including any and all intellectual property rights).  Notwithstanding any materials, deliverables, or other products that may be created or developed by Service Provider or its Subsidiaries from the date hereof through the expiration or termination of the relevant  Services Term, Service Provider does not hereby convey, nor does Service Recipient nor any of its Subsidiaries hereby obtain, any right, title, or interest in or to any of Service Provider’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ equipment, materials, deliverables, products, or any other rights or property used to provide the Services.  All customer and personnel data, files and input and output materials and the media upon which they are located that are supplied by Service Recipient or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement shall remain Service Recipient’s or such Subsidiary’s property, respectively, and Service Provider shall not have any rights or interests with respect thereto.

 

Article 13
 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

 

Any Confidential Information received by either Party or its Affiliates from the other Party or any of its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement shall be governed by, and be subject to, the provisions of Article VII of the Separation Agreement, which provisions are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement and any references to “Agreement” in such Article VII as incorporated herein shall be deemed to be references to this Agreement.  However, for the avoidance of doubt, neither Party shall be obligated to disclose its own Confidential Information in the course of providing the Services hereunder.

 

Article 14
 GSK AGREEMENTS

 

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, ParentCo shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, agents and

 

10

 

representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) not to, take (or omit to take) any action (including, without limitation, the disclosure of any information to SpinCo or any of its Representatives), that is or would be reasonably expected to result in a breach or violation of, or be in conflict with, any ParentCo confidentiality obligation to GSK under the Collaboration Agreement and/or the Strategic Alliance Agreement.  To the extent that SpinCo or any of its Representatives becomes aware or believes that it has or may have received from ParentCo or any of its Representatives Confidential Information (as defined in the Collaboration Agreement or the Strategic Alliance Agreement) of GSK, it will promptly notify ParentCo in writing, will follow any reasonable instructions from ParentCo with respect to the return or destruction of such information, and will not use or disclose such information unless ParentCo confirms that it is not Confidential Information (as defined in the Collaboration Agreement or the Strategic Alliance Agreement) of GSK.  Each party agrees and understands that monetary damages would not adequately compensate the non-breaching party for a breach of this Article 14, that this Article 14 shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be specifically enforceable, and that any breach or threatened breach of this Article 14 shall be the proper subject of a temporary or permanent injunction or restraining order.  Further, ParentCo and SpinCo waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for such breach or threatened breach.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, SpinCo acknowledges and agrees that it has no rights to any non-public information under the Collaboration Agreement and/or the Strategic Alliance Agreement, the disclosure of which by ParentCo or any of its Representatives to SpinCo or any of its Representatives is or would be reasonably expected to result in a breach or violation of, or be in conflict with, any ParentCo confidentiality obligation to GSK under the Collaboration Agreement and/or the Strategic Alliance Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, in the event of any conflict between this Article 14, or any covenant, right, agreement, obligation or duty of ParentCo or SpinCo (or any of their respective Representatives) under this Article 14, on the one hand, and any other provision of this Agreement, or any attachment hereto or any covenant, right, agreement, obligation or duty of ParentCo or SpinCo (or any of their respective Representatives) thereunder, on the other hand, this Article 14 shall govern and supersede such other provision, attachment, covenant, agreement, obligation or duty. Each party will be liable for breach of this Article 14 by any of its Representatives.
