Either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon delivery of written notice to the other Party (a) upon the institution by or against the other Party of insolvency, receivership or bankruptcy proceedings or any other proceedings for the settlement of the other Party's debts; provided, however with respect to involuntary proceedings, that such proceedings are not dismissed within one hundred and twenty (120) days; (b) upon the other Party's making an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (c) upon the other Party's dissolution or ceasing to do business.
 

11.3

Material Breach.  Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to the other Party upon the material breach by the other Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of a material breach by Auxilium, BTC shall only have the right to terminate this Agreement on a territory-by-territory basis, such that BTC may only terminate this Agreement for (a) the Auxilium Territory as a result of a material breach by Auxilium with respect to the Auxilium Territory and/or(b) the Partner Territory as a result of a material breach by Auxilium with respect to the Partner Territory; provided, further, that such termination shall become effective only if the other Party shall fail to remedy or cure the breach within such ninety (90) day period.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event of a material breach by Auxilium with respect to the Partner Territory, BTC shall simultaneously provide the aforementioned written notice to Partner pursuant to Section 11.3 hereof and, (ii) in the further event that Auxilium has not cured such breach in such ninety (90) day period, such Partner shall have the right to step-in and, within the ninety (90) day period, remedy or cure such breach for purposes of this Section 11.3.   In the event that (x) Partner is the entity remedying or curing such breach, (y) Partner is not at fault with respect to such material breach, and (z) Partner so requests of BTC in writing in connection with such remedy or cure, BTC shall promptly grant to Partner a license under the Licensed Technology and otherwise on the same economic and other terms as are contained in this Agreement covering the Partner Territory in substitution for Auxilium.  For clarity, in the case of a material breach with respect to the Auxilium Territory, any termination of this Agreement shall related solely to the Auxilium Territory and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the Partner Territory.  The Parties agree that the step-in rights granted to Partner under this Section 11.3 shall not serve as a precedent with respect to any future sublicense agreement.    

39

11.4

Termination by Auxilium.  Auxilium may terminate this Agreement in its entirety or on a country-by-country basis or on an Indication by Indication basis or on a Product by Product basis at any time upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to BTC.

11.5

Effect Of Termination.

(a)

Effect On License.  Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, the rights licensed under this Agreement shall be treated as follows:

Upon the expiration of the Term or the termination of this Agreement by Auxilium pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, Auxilium shall have a fully paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable, worldwide, non-exclusive right and license under the Licensed Technology existing as of the date of such expiration to make, have made, use, offer to sell, and sell the Product in the Territory.

(ii)

Upon termination of this Agreement by BTC pursuant to Section 11.2 or 11.3, or by Auxilium pursuant to Section 11.4 all rights to Product shall revert to BTC.

(b)

Ongoing Obligations.

(i)

Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, each Party shall no later than thirty (30) days after such termination return to the other Party or destroy any Confidential Information disclosed by the other Party, except for one copy which may be retained in its confidential files.

(ii)

Upon termination of this Agreement by BTC pursuant to Sections 11.2 or 11.3 or by Auxilium pursuant to Section 11.4, Auxilium shall assign and deliver to BTC all Regulatory Data and information (including registration dossiers) obtained for or in pursuing Regulatory Approvals, and all Regulatory Approvals (e.g., to BTC; designee in the Territory as permitted under the Law) for Product in the Territory received as of such termination date.

11.6

Inventory.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon early termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2, 11.3 or 11.4, Auxilium shall have the right to sell all remaining Product in its inventory within six (6) months after the date of termination, but shall be bound to the royalty payments provided by Section 6.4 herein.  Thereafter, Auxilium agrees to destroy any remaining supply of Product or return it to BTC at BTC’s request and direction.

ARTICLE 12

INDEMNIFICATION

12.1

Auxilium.  Auxilium shall defend BTC at Auxilium’s cost and expense, and will indemnify and hold BTC and their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, contractors, representatives, and agents harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, fees, or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) (“Losses”) incurred in connection with or arising out of any Third Party claim (a “Third Party Claim”) directly relating to (i) any material breach by Auxilium of its representations or warranties or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) any gross negligence or willful misconduct of Auxilium, its Affiliates, or their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, consultants, agents, representatives, or Sublicensees in the exercise of any of Auxilium’ rights or the performance of any of Auxilium’ obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) the handling, packaging, storage, or Commercialization by Auxilium or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees of any Product in the Territory (excluding all intellectual property infringement or related claims, which are covered in Section 12.2); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in all cases referred to in this Section 12.1, Auxilium shall have no liability to BTC for any Losses to the extent that such Losses were caused by any item for which BTC is required to indemnify Auxilium pursuant to Section 12.2.  

12.2

BTC.  BTC shall defend Auxilium and its Affiliates at BTC’s cost and expense, and will indemnify and hold Auxilium and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, contractors, representatives, and agents harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred in connection with or arising out of any Third Party Claim directly relating to (i) material breach by BTC of any of its representations, warranties or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) gross negligence or willful misconduct of BTC in the exercise of any of its rights or the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (iii) personal injury and other product liability resulting from BTC’s Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of any Product, (iv) intellectual property infringement or related claims, including any Third Party Claim and trade secret misappropriation liability relating to the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of any Product, (v) any liability or other claims from the Manufacture, handling, packaging, storage, sale, or other disposition of any Product by BTC or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees, and (vi) any liability or claims arising from Product supplied by or on behalf of BTC to Auxilium that was not Manufactured in accordance with current Good Manufacturing Practices, Good Clinical Practice and Good Laboratory Practices, the specifications or all Laws and regulations except for such Losses that are indemnified pursuant to the Supply Agreement; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in all cases referred to in this Section 12.2, BTC shall have no liability to Auxilium for any Losses to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Losses were caused by any item for which Auxilium is required to indemnify BTC pursuant to Section 12.1.

12.3

Claims Procedures.  Each Party entitled to be indemnified by the other Party (an “Indemnified Party”) pursuant to Section 12.1 or 12.2 hereof shall give notice to the other Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any threatened or asserted claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided:
 

41

(a)

That counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld) and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Party’s expense (unless (i) the employment of counsel by such Indemnified Party has been authorized by the Indemnifying Party; or (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in the defense of such action, in each of which cases the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one law firm serving as counsel for the Indemnified Party, which law firm shall be subject to approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, by the Indemnifying Party).

(b)

The failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that the failure to give notice did not result in harm to the Indemnifying Party.

(c)

No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the approval of each Indemnified Party which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which (i) would result in injunctive or other relief being imposed against the Indemnified Party; or (ii) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d)

Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

12.4

Escrow.  In the event of any Third Party Claim against Auxilium for which BTC is obligated to indemnify Auxilium in accordance with Section 12.2, Auxilium shall be entitled, until a final un-appealable decision has been rendered or a settlement has been reached (a “Final Decision”), to pay an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of all amounts due to BTC on Net Sales of Products (such aggregate amount, the “Escrowed Amount”) into an escrow account maintained by a Third Party reasonably acceptable to BTC.  To the extent that Auxilium incurs any Losses in connection with such Third Party Claim, an amount equal to the amount of any such Losses shall be distributed to Auxilium out of such escrow account, with the remainder (if any) to be paid to BTC.  In the event that the Escrow Amount is less than the amount of such Losses, BTC shall pay the difference to Auxilium within thirty (30) days of such Final Decision.

12.5

Insurance. During the Term, each of Auxilium and BTC shall maintain general liability and product liability insurance in the following amounts: (i) at all times prior to approval of a NDA for a Product, $3,000,000 per occurrence, and (ii) at all times after approval of a NDA for a Product, $5,000,000.  

42

12.6

Compliance.  The Parties shall comply fully with all Laws and regulations in connection with their respective activities under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 13

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

13.1

Amendment Effective Date.  This Agreement shall only become effective upon the execution and effectiveness of the agreement between Auxilium and Partner (“Amendment Effective Date”) and Auxilium shall notify BTC in writing of the Amendment Effective Date by delivery of the notice in the form attached hereto as Schedule 13.1.  In the event that the Amendment Effective Date does not occur by [***], then this Agreement shall not become effective and the Original Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing.

13.2

Dispute Resolution.  In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of relating to or in connection with any provision of this Agreement, or the rights or obligations hereunder, the Parties shall try to settle their differences amicably between themselves through good faith negotiations.  If they are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of initiating such negotiations, the Parties agree first to submit the dispute to non-binding mediation before resorting to litigation or other mutually agreed dispute resolution mechanism.  The dispute resolution procedures set forth herein shall not limit a court from granting a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction in order to preserve the status quo of the Parties pending arbitration or to protect a Party's trademark or confidential or proprietary information.
 

13.3

Construction.  Unless the context of this Agreement clearly requires otherwise, (a) references to the plural include the singular, the singular the plural, the part the whole, (b) references to any gender include all genders, (c) “or” has the inclusive meaning frequently identified with the phrase “and/or,” (d) “including” has the inclusive meaning frequently identified with the phrase “including but not limited to” or “including”, and (e) references to “hereunder” or “herein” relate to this Agreement.  The section and other headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not control or affect the construction of this Agreement or the interpretation thereof in any respect.  Section, subsection, and Schedule references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified.  Each accounting term used herein that is not specifically defined herein shall have the meaning given to it under GAAP.

13.4

Governing Law; Jurisdiction.  This Agreement shall be construed and the respective rights of the Parties determined according to the substantive laws of the State of New York notwithstanding the provisions governing conflict of laws under such New York law to the contrary, except matters of intellectual property law which shall be determined in accordance with the intellectual property laws relevant to the intellectual property in question.

13.5

Post-Closing Access to Information.  BTC shall afford to representatives of Auxilium reasonable access to offices, plants, properties, books and records of BTC relating to the Product, during normal business hours, in order that Auxilium may have an opportunity to make such reasonable investigations as it desires with respect to Product.  At all times after the Effective Date, each Party will permit the other Party and its representatives (including its counsel and auditors) during normal business hours, for a proper purpose to have reasonable access to and examine and make copies of, at the expense of the copying Party, all books, records, files and documents in its possession which relate to the Product.

13.6

Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code.  All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to any section of this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(35A) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Parties shall retain and may fully exercise all of their respective rights and elections under section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code.

13.7

Waiver.  The failure on the part of Auxilium or BTC to exercise or enforce any rights conferred upon it hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any such rights nor operate to bar the exercise or enforcement thereof at any time or times thereafter.  The observance of any Term may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) by the Party entitled to enforce such term, but any such waiver shall be effective only if in writing signed by the Party against whom such waiver is to be asserted.

13.8

Force Majeure.  Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any Term, other than an obligation to make a payment, when such failure or delay is caused by or results from fire, floods, embargoes, government regulations, prohibitions or interventions, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), insurrections, riots, civil commotions, strikes, lockouts, acts of God, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party.

13.9

Severability.  It is the intention of the Parties to comply with all Laws domestic or foreign in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or any part hereof, is found invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will be binding on the Parties hereto, and will be construed as if the invalid or unenforceable provision or part thereof had been deleted, and the Agreement shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to render the surviving provisions enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

13.10

Government Acts.  In the event that any act, regulation, directive, or law of a government, including its departments, agencies or courts, should make impossible or prohibit, restrain, modify or limit any material act or obligation of Auxilium or BTC under this Agreement, the Party, if any, not so affected shall have the right, at its option, to suspend or terminate this Agreement as to such country, if good faith negotiations between the Parties to make such modifications to this Agreement as may be necessary to fairly address the impact thereof, after a reasonable period of time are not successful in producing mutually acceptable modifications to this Agreement.

13.11

Assignment.  This Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that either Party may assign this Agreement, without the consent of the other Party, in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or business or in the event of its merger or consolidation with another company.  In all cases the assigning Party shall provide the other Party with prompt notice of any such assignment.  Any purported assignment in contravention of this Section shall, at the option of the nonassigning Party, be null and void and of no effect.  No assignment shall release either Party from responsibility for the performance of any accrued obligation of such Party hereunder.
 

44

13.12

Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in duplicate, both of which shall be deemed to be originals, and both of which shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

13.13

No Agency.  Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to create an agency, joint venture, amalgamation, partnership or similar relationship between BTC and Auxilium.  Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement, neither Party shall at any time enter into, incur, or hold itself out to third Parties as having authority to enter into or incur, on behalf of the other Party, any commitment, expense, or liability whatsoever, and all contracts, expenses and liabilities undertaken or incurred by one Party in connection with or relating to the development, manufacture or sale of Enzymes or Product shall be undertaken, incurred or paid exclusively by that Party, and not as an agent or representative of the other Party.

13.14

Notice.  All communications between the Parties with respect to any of the provisions of this Agreement will be sent to the addresses set out below, or to other addresses as designated by one Party to the other by notice pursuant hereto, by internationally recognized courier or by prepaid certified, air mail (which shall be deemed received by the other Party on the seventh business day following deposit in the mails), or by facsimile transmission or other electronic means of communication (which shall be deemed received when transmitted), with confirmation by letter given by the close of business on or before the next following business day:
