12.2Β Β Β Β Β Internal Resolution.
(a)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β The Parties shall negotiate in good faith and use reasonable efforts to settle any Dispute, controversy or claim arising from or related to this agreement or the breach thereof. If the Parties initially are unable to resolve a dispute despite using reasonable efforts to do so, either Party may, by written notice to the other, have the Dispute referred to the Executive Officers or their respective designees, for attempted resolution by negotiation in good faith; provided that disputes escalated to the Executive Officers by the JSC shall not be subject to additional rounds of escalation pursuant to this Section 12.2(a). The attempted resolution will take place no later than thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice. If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute, controversy or claim within thirty (30) days following the day on which one Party provides written notice of the dispute to the other in accordance with this SectionΒ 12.2(a), and a Party wishes to pursue the matter, each such dispute, controversy or claim hereunder that is not an Excluded Claim (as defined below) will be finally resolved by mediation followed by binding arbitration as set forth below.
(b)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Mediation.Β Β The Parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute by confidential mediation in accordance with the then current Mediation Procedure of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (βCPR Mediation Procedureβ) (xxx.xxxxxx.xxx) before initiating arbitration.Β Β The CPR Mediation Procedure shall control, except where that procedure conflicts with these provisions, in which case these provisions control.Β Β The mediator shall be chosen pursuant to the CPR Mediation Procedure.Β Β The mediation shall be held in New York, New York.Β Β Either Party may initiate mediation by written notice to the other of the existence of a Dispute.Β Β The Parties agree to select the mediator within twenty (20) days of the notice and the mediation will begin promptly after the selection.Β Β The mediation will continue until the mediator or either Party declares in writing, no sooner than after the conclusion of one full day of a substantive mediation conference attended on behalf of each party by a senior business person with authority to resolve the Dispute, that the Dispute cannot be resolved by mediation.Β Β In no event, however, shall mediation continue more than sixty (60) days from the initial notice by aΒ Party to initiate meditation unless the Parties agree in writing to extend that period.Β Β Any period of limitations set forth in this SectionΒ 12.1 that would otherwise expire between the initiation of mediation and its conclusion is extended until twenty (20) days after the conclusion of the mediation.
(c)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Arbitration.Β Β If the parties fail to resolve the Dispute in mediation, and a Party desires to pursue resolution of the Dispute, the Dispute shall be submitted by either Party for resolution in arbitration pursuant to the then current CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration of International Disputes (βCPR Rulesβ) (xxx.xxxxxx.xxx), except where they conflict with these provisions, in which case these provisions control.Β Β CPR is designated as the Neutral Organization for arbitration of all Disputes.Β Β The arbitration will be conducted in English and held in New York, New York.Β Β All aspects of the arbitration shall be treated as confidential.Β Β The arbitrators will be chosen from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals, unless a candidate not on the CPR Panel is approved by both Parties.Β Β Each arbitrator shall be a lawyer with expertise in the pharmaceutical industry and at least fifteen (15) years of experience with a law firm or corporate law department

Further, each Party agrees and acknowledges that all payments by Xxxxxxx to Theravance hereunder, other than the Opt-In Exercise Fee and the royalty payments pursuant to Article 6, and the sales milestone payments pursuant to SectionΒ 6.5, do not constitute royalties within the meaning of SectionΒ 365(n) of the Code or relate to licenses of intellectual property hereunder.Β Β Theravance shall, during the Term, create and maintain current copies or, if not amenable to copying, detailed descriptions or other appropriate embodiments, to the extent feasible, of all such intellectual property.Β Β Theravance and Xxxxxxx acknowledge andΒ agree that βembodimentsβ of intellectual property within the meaning of SectionΒ 365(n) include laboratory notebooks, cell lines, product samples and inventory, research studies and data and Regulatory Materials.Β Β If (i)Β a case under the Code is commenced by or against Theravance, (ii)Β this Agreement is rejected as provided in the Code, and (iii)Β Xxxxxxx elects to retain its rights hereunder as provided in SectionΒ 365(n) of the Code, Theravance (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a trustee) shall:

any of its successors or assigns provides to Xxxxxxx any of the intellectual property licensed hereunder (or any embodiment thereof) pursuant to this SectionΒ 13.3, Xxxxxxx shall have the right to perform Theravanceβs obligations hereunder with respect to such intellectual property, but neither such provision nor such performance by Janssen shall release Theravance from liability resulting from rejection of the license or the failure to perform such obligations; and
(ii)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β not interfere with Xxxxxxxβx rights under this Agreement, or any agreement supplemental hereto, to such intellectual property (including such embodiments), including any right to obtain such intellectual property (or such embodiments) from another entity, to the extent provided in SectionΒ 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code.

13.4Β Β Β Β Β Force Majeure.Β Β Both Parties shall be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by force majeure and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice of the prevention to the other Party.Β Β Such excuse shall be continued so long as the condition constituting force majeure continues and the nonperforming Party takes reasonable efforts to remove the condition.Β Β For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure shall include conditions beyond the reasonable control of the Parties, including an act of God, war, civil commotion, terrorist act, labor strike or lock-out, epidemic, failure or default of public utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, earthquake, storm or like catastrophe, and failure of plant or machinery (provided that such failure could not have been prevented by the exercise of skill, diligence, and prudence that would be reasonably and ordinarily expected from a skilled and experienced person engaged in the same type of undertaking under the same or similar circumstances).Β Β Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall not be excused from making payments owed hereunder because of a force majeure affecting such Party.Β Β If a force majeure persists for more than ninety (90) days, then the Parties will discuss in good faith the modification of the Partiesβ obligations under this Agreement in order to mitigate the delays caused by such force majeure.
13.5Β Β Β Β Β Notices.Β Β Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing, shall specifically refer to this Agreement, and shall be addressed to the appropriate Party at the address specified below or such other address as may be specified by such Party in writing in accordance with this SectionΒ 13.5, and shall be deemed to have been given for all purposes (a)Β when received, if hand-delivered or sent by confirmed facsimile or a reputable courier service, or (b)Β five (5) Business Days after mailing, if mailed by first class certified or registered airmail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested.
