Notwithstanding Section 14.6.2 of the License Agreement, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Termination Agreement all rights and obligations of the Parties under the License Agreement shall cease, including, without limitation, (a) all license grants under the License Agreement, and (b) Gedeon Richter’s right of first offer and negotiation pursuant to Section 2.5 of the License Agreement.

2.2 Close-Out Activities. The Parties, under the oversight of the Joint Steering Committee, shall complete the activities set forth in this Termination Agreement and Exhibit A hereto (collectively, the "Close-Out Activities"). If after reasonable discussion and good faith consideration of each Party's view on a particular matter before the Joint Steering Committee relating to the Close-Out Activities, the Joint Steering Committee is unable after a period of ten (10) Business Days to reach consensus on such matter, then either Party may refer such matter to the Parties' respective Chief Executive Officers for good faith negotiation and resolution in accordance with Section 4.3 of this Termination Agreement.

 

2.3 Diligence. Each Party will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform its respective obligations with respect to the Close-Out Activities with the goal of completing the Close-Out Activities no later than the Transition Completion Date. In the event that, despite applying the foregoing level of diligence, Gedeon Richter does not complete one or more of the Close-Out Activities assigned to it prior to the Transition Completion Date, then Gedeon Richter shall use its best efforts to complete such activities as quickly as possible thereafter.

 

2.4 Transition Assistance. As part of the Close-Out Activities, Gedeon Richter, in accordance with this Section 2.4, shall assist Palatin, with Palatin's cooperation, as may be reasonably necessary for Palatin to continue the Development of Products in the Field throughout the Territory.

2.4.1 Intellectual Property Transfer. Gedeon Richter hereby assigns to Palatin, effective on the Termination Date, Gedeon Richter's entire right, title and interest in and to all Gedeon Richter Know-How and all inventions, whether patentable or not, derived from such Gedeon Richter Know-How (and Gedeon Richter appoints Palatin its attorney in fact solely to make such reassignments and authorizes Palatin to make such re-assignments). Gedeon Richter shall disclose each such invention to Palatin within ten (10) Business Days after the Termination Date. Gedeon Richter shall execute and deliver to Palatin a deed of assignment for each such invention, in a mutually agreeable form, within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date. Palatin shall be responsible for recording all such assignments, and Gedeon Richter and its successors and assigns shall (i) reasonably cooperate with Palatin's efforts to do so, including satisfying the assignment and recording requirements of relevant patent offices and (ii) reimburse Palatin for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Palatin in connection with this Section 2.4.1.

 

  

2

  

 

2.4.2 Materials, Data and Information Transfer. Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable laws or contract, Gedeon Richter shall promptly return, transfer and assign to Palatin or its designee all materials relating to the Development and Commercialization of Products, including all Palatin Know-How in tangible form, all Gedeon Richter Know-How in tangible form, all Information, all Materials, all major regulatory submissions and other regulatory materials prepared by or on behalf of Gedeon Richter pursuant to the Gedeon Richter Development Plan, all Third Party agreements (provided that, to the extent required, the Third Party gives its prior written consent to the assignment of the relevant agreement to Palatin) and any other items relating to the Products, all of which shall be deemed confidential Information of Palatin (and not of Gedeon Richter). For any of the foregoing documentation, data and information that is to be transferred to Palatin and is not in English, Gedeon Richter will, upon the request of Palatin, translate the foregoing into English and deliver true and accurate, in all material respects, translations thereof to Palatin. All such information shall be transferred to Palatin or its designee in an organized and clear manner, with all documents and files clearly labeled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Gedeon Richter and/or Gedeon Richter's counsel may retain one (1) copy of tangible Palatin Know-How and Gedeon Richter Know-How for archival purposes and for ensuring compliance with Article 10 of the License Agreement.

 

2.5 Mutual Releases; Indemnification for Future Activities.

 

2.5.1 In consideration for the terms set forth in this Termination Agreement, Palatin, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, and the directors, officers, stockholders and employees of such entities and the successors and assigns of the foregoing (the "Palatin Releasors"), hereby fully releases Gedeon Richter and its Affiliates and the directors, officers and employees of such entities (the "Gedeon Richter Releasees") from any and all claims, actions, causes of action, liabilities, damages, judgments and demands of any kind, whether known or unknown that the Palatin Releasors had, has, may have or ever claim to have against the Gedeon Richter Releasees, under or directly or indirectly related to the License Agreement, except to the extent of existing rights and obligations of the Parties under the License Agreement that survive as provided in Section 14.6.2 of the License Agreement or as otherwise provided herein. For clarity, the foregoing provision shall not release Gedeon Richter Releasees with respect to (i) Gedeon Richter's gross negligence or violation of laws; or (ii) a claim, suit or proceeding made or brought by any Third Party to the extent that indemnification is owed to a Palatin Indemnitee in accordance with Section 13 of the License Agreement and otherwise to the extent that a claim, suit or proceeding made or brought by any Third Party is caused by or arises from the conduct of a Gedeon Richter Releasee.

 

2.5.2 In consideration for the terms set forth in this Termination Agreement, Gedeon Richter, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, and the directors, officers, stockholders and employees of such entities and the successors and assigns of the foregoing (the "Gedeon Richter Releasors"), hereby fully releases Palatin and its Affiliates and the directors, officers and employees of such entities (the "Palatin Releasees") from any and all claims, actions, causes of action, liabilities, damages, judgments and demands of any kind, whether known or unknown that the Gedeon Richter Releasors had, has, may have or ever claim to have against Palatin Releasees, under or directly or indirectly related to the License Agreement, except to the extent of existing rights and obligations of the Parties under the License Agreement that survive as provided in Section 14.6.2 of the License Agreement or as otherwise provided herein. For clarity, the foregoing provision shall not release Palatin Releasees with respect to (i) Palatin's gross negligence or violation of laws; or (ii) a claim, suit or proceeding made or brought by any Third Party to the extent that indemnification is owed to a Gedeon Richter Indemnitee in accordance with Section 13 of the License Agreement and otherwise to the extent that a claim, suit or proceeding made or brought by any Third Party is caused by or arises from the conduct of a Palatin Releasee.

 

  

3

  

 

2.5.3 Without limiting the obligations of either Party under Section 13 of the License Agreement or under this Termination Agreement, Palatin further agrees that it shall defend, indemnify and hold the Gedeon Richter Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all claims, suits or proceedings made or brought by any Third Party to the extent that such claim, suit or proceeding arises out of, is based on, or results from the manufacture, use, handling, storage, sale or other disposition of the Product by Palatin, its Affiliates or any Third Party on behalf of Palatin after the Termination Date. The foregoing indemnity obligation shall not apply to the extent that the Gedeon Richter Indemnitees fail to comply with the indemnification procedures set forth in Section 13.3 of the License Agreement and Palatin's defense of the claim, suit or proceeding is prejudiced by such failure.

 

2.5.4 Nothing in this Termination Agreement shall be deemed to release, acquit or discharge either Party, or its Affiliates, its agents, representative, employees, officers, directors, attorneys, successors and assigns, from its obligations under this Termination Agreement or any claim arising from any breach of such obligations.

 

2.6 Collaboration Funding and Payments. As of the Termination Date, each Party has made all payments payable to the other Party pursuant to the License Agreement, if any, including pursuant to Sections 7 and 8 of the License Agreement.
