(b) In the event that the Licensor elects to abandon or cease prosecution of any published Licensed Patent application, or abandon or not maintain any issued Licensed Patent, in any country in the Territory, then, to the extent reasonably practicable, the Licensor will provide the Licensee with written notice of such determination at least thirty (30) days before the due date for taking action to avoid abandonment (or other loss of rights) (whether such due date is a filing or payment due date, or any other similar due date), and the Licensee will then have the second right (but not the obligation) to continue to prosecute such published Licensed Patent or maintain such issued Licensed Patent in such country at its sole cost and expense on the Licensor’s behalf. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Licensor reasonably believes, in good faith, that continuing to prosecute or maintain, as applicable, any such Licensed Patent would detrimentally affect, in any material respect, other Patents that relate to any Product or activities with respect to any Product, then the Licensor shall notify the Licensee and the Parties shall meet to discuss such concerns in good faith for a period of five (5) Business Days after Licensor’s notice. Following expiration of such five (5)-Business Day period, if Licensor, after reasonably taking into account Licensee’s comments, guidance and preferences, still reasonably believes in good faith that continuing to prosecute or maintain the applicable Patent would detrimentally affect, in any material respect, other Patents that relate to any Product or activities with respect to any Product, the Licensor shall have the right to notify the Licensee that it will not be permitted to continue to prosecute or maintain the applicable Patent.

(c) To the extent reasonably practicable, (i) the Licensor or the Licensee (in its capacity as the Party preparing, filing, prosecuting or maintaining, as applicable, one or more Licensed Patents in accordance with Section 6.1(a) or 6.1(b), as applicable, the “Prosecuting Party”) shall provide the other Party with a copy of material communications from any patent authority in the Territory regarding such Licensed Patents and shall provide drafts of any material filings or material responses to be made to such patent authorities a reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses so that such other Party may have an opportunity to review and comment thereon and (ii) the Prosecuting Party shall confer with the other Party and take into consideration such other Party’s comments prior to submitting such filings and correspondence; provided that such other Party promptly provides such comments and in case of a disagreement between the Parties with respect to the preparing, filing, prosecuting or maintaining any Licensed Patent, the final decision shall be made by the Prosecuting Party.

(d) Upon the reasonable request of the Prosecuting Party, the other Party shall reasonably cooperate with and provide assistance to the Prosecuting Party in connection with preparing, filing, prosecuting or maintaining any Licensed Patent and any other Intellectual Property invented, created, generated or otherwise developed in connection with this Agreement, the Global Brand and Support Agreement, or the Supply Agreement that it is preparing, filing, prosecuting or maintaining (including by providing information, obtaining signatures and authorizations and taking such other actions as may be required by applicable Law or any policy, advice or guideline of any Regulatory Authority).

Section 6.2 Enforcement.

(a) Each Party will promptly notify the other in writing in the event of any actual, potential or suspected Third Party Infringement in the Territory. Subject to Section 6.2(b), as between the Parties, the Licensor shall have the first right (but not the obligation), to control any enforcement or defense of the Licensed Patents and any other Intellectual Property invented, created, generated or otherwise developed under this Agreement, the Global Brand and Support Agreement, or the Supply Agreement against any Third Party Infringement (including by bringing an Action or entering into settlement discussions) at its sole cost and expense.

(b) In the event that the Licensor elects not to enforce the Licensed Patents against any Third Party activities that constitute an infringement of such Patents in the Territory, the Licensor shall provide the Licensee with written notice as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event less than ten (10) Business Days) following such determination. Following receipt of such notice, Licensee shall have the second right (but not the obligation) to enforce the Licensed Patents against such Third Party activities within the scope of the license that it is granted hereunder (including by bringing an Action or entering into settlement discussions) at the Licensee’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Licensor reasonably believes, in good faith, that enforcing such Licensed Patent against such Third Party Infringement would detrimentally affect, in any material respect, other Patents that relate to any Product or activities with respect to any Product, then the Licensor shall notify the Licensee and the parties shall meet to discuss such concerns in good faith for a period of five (5) Business Days after the Licensor’s notice. Following expiration of such five (5)-Business Day period, if the Licensor, after reasonably taking into account the Licensee’s comments, guidance and preferences, still reasonably believes in good faith that enforcing such Licensed Patent against such Third party Infringement would detrimentally affect, in any material respect, other Patents that relate to any Product or activities with respect to any Product, the Licensor shall have the right to notify the Licensee that it will not be permitted to enforce such Licensed Patent against such Third Party Infringement.

(c) To the extent reasonably practicable prior to commencing any Action in accordance with Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b), the Party that is controlling such Action in accordance with such Sections (the “Enforcing Party”) shall consult with the other Party and reasonably consider such other Party’s recommendations with respect to the applicable Action; provided that the such other Party promptly provides such recommendations and in case of a disagreement between the Parties with respect to any such Third Party Infringement, the final decision shall be made by the Enforcing Party.

(d) The Enforcing Party shall give the other Party timely notice of any proposed settlement of any Action regarding a Third Party Infringement under this Section 6.2 and shall not, without the prior written consent of the other Party, enter into any settlement that would give rise to any liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, fines, judgments, settlements, interest, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) for which the other Party or any of its Affiliates is responsible.

(e) If, in connection with enforcing any Licensed IP against any Third Party Infringement in accordance with this Section 6.2, the Enforcing Party brings or defends (as applicable) an Action or enters into settlement discussions with respect thereto, the other Party shall, at its cost and expense, reasonably cooperate with and provide assistance in connection therewith, at the Enforcing Party’s reasonable request. The other Party will have the right, at its own cost and expense and by counsel of its choice, to be represented in (but not control) any Third Party Infringement Action in the Territory. At the Enforcing Party’s reasonable request, the non-Enforcing Party will provide the Enforcing Party with all information, including all data and documentation, reasonably necessary or useful under applicable Law for the Enforcing Party to successfully enforce such Licensed Patents. The non-Enforcing Party will also provide the Enforcing Party with reasonable assistance in such enforcement, including joining such Action as a party plaintiff if required by applicable Law to pursue such action.

(f) Any and all amounts recovered by the Enforcing Party in any Action regarding a Third Party Infringement in the Territory or settlement with respect thereto shall be allocated as follows (subject to applicable Law):

(i) first, to reimburse each Party for all out-of-pocket costs of the Action incurred by the Parties including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, court costs and other litigation expenses and, to the extent that such recovery is insufficient to fully reimburse each Party, each Party will be reimbursed pro rata in accordance with such out-of-pocket costs; and

(ii) second, the balance shall be shared between the Parties on a pro rata basis in accordance with lost sales of the Product in the Territory, with respect to the Licensee, and lost sales of the Product outside of the Territory, with respect to the Licensor; provided that any amounts recovered by the Licensee in accordance with this Section 6.2(f)(ii) shall be treated as Quarterly Revenue for the Calendar Quarter in which such amounts are recovered for purposes of calculating any Quarterly Royalty Payments in accordance with Article III and Appendix I.

Section 6.3 Additional Intellectual Property Provisions.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, in the event that any Third Party allegations of invalidity or unenforceability of any Licensed Patents arise in an opposition, interference, reissue proceeding, reexamination or other patent office proceeding (or any invalidity or unenforceability proceeding before a national court), Section 6.2(a) shall govern the Parties’ rights and obligations with respect thereto.

(b) For clarity, this Agreement shall not obligate either Party to disclose to the other Party, or maintain, register, prosecute, pay for or offer to pay for (including by offering remuneration to any inventors), enforce, defend or otherwise manage any Intellectual Property, except to the extent expressly set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither Party nor any of its Affiliates shall be required by this Article VI to take or omit to take any action that it reasonably believes contravenes applicable Law.

Section 6.4 Common Interest. All information exchanged between the Parties’ representatives regarding the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance or enforcement of Licensed IP under this Article VI shall be deemed Confidential Information. In addition, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, with regard to such preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance or enforcement of Licensed Patents and Licensed Know-How under this Article VI, the interests of the Parties as licensor and licensee are to obtain the strongest patent protection possible, and as such, are aligned and are legal in nature. The Parties agree and acknowledge that they have not waived, and nothing in this Agreement constitutes a waiver of, any legal privilege concerning the Licensed Patents and Licensed Know-How under this Article VI, including privilege under the common interest doctrine and similar or related doctrine.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION; LIABILITY

Section 7.1 Indemnification by Licensee. The Licensee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Licensor and its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Licensor Indemnitees”) from, against and in respect of all Losses incurred or suffered by or on behalf of any of the Licensor Indemnified Parties in connection with any Action brought by a Third Party (“Third Party Claim”) to the extent arising out of, relating to or resulting from any (i) gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Licensee, any of its Affiliates, or its or their Sublicensees, agents or subcontractors in the performance of this Agreement, (ii) breach by the Licensee of this Agreement, or (iii) exercise by the Licensee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees of the licenses and rights granted to it hereunder, including Commercialization of the Products in the Territory by or on behalf of the Licensee or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that in each case, the Licensee shall not have any obligations under this Section 7.1 to the extent such Losses arise from any Third Party Claims covered under Section 7.2, or any other indemnification obligations under the Transaction Documents.

Section 7.2 Indemnification by Licensor. The Licensor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Licensee and its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Licensee Indemnitees”, and together with the Licensor Indemnitees, the “Indemnitees”) from, against and in respect of all Losses incurred or suffered by or on behalf of any of the Licensee Indemnitees in connection with any Third Party Claim to the extent arising out of, relating to or resulting from (i) any gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Licensor, any of its Affiliates, or its or their sublicensees, agents or subcontractors in the performance of this Agreement or (ii) breach by the Licensor of this Agreement; provided, however, that in each case, the Licensor shall not have any obligations under this Section 7.2 to the extent such Losses arise from any Third Party Claims covered under Section 7.1, or any other indemnification obligations under the Transaction Documents.

Section 7.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) If any of the Indemnitees receives notice or otherwise learns of a Third Party Claim with respect to which a Party may be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1 (such Party, the “Indemnifying Party”, and any such Third Party Claim, an “Indemnifiable Claim”), such Indemnitee shall give the Indemnifying Party notice thereof as promptly as practicable after receiving such notice or otherwise learning of such Indemnifiable Claim. Each such notice shall describe the Indemnifiable Claim in reasonable detail and provide the Indemnifying Party with all relevant documentation in connection with the Indemnifiable Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any of the Indemnitees to give timely notice as provided in this Section 7.3(a) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under Section 7.1 or this Section 7.3, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure to give notice.

(b) The Indemnifying Party may elect (but shall not be required) to defend any Indemnifiable Claim, at the Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 7.3(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such Indemnifiable Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify such Indemnitee whether the Indemnifying Party is electing to assume responsibility for defending such Indemnifiable Claim, which election shall specify any reservations or exceptions to its defense. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any such Indemnifiable Claim, it shall notify such Indemnitee of its intention to do so, and such Indemnitee shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense (for such Indemnitee’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs), cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense of such Indemnifiable Claim; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Indemnifiable Claim without such Indemnitee’s written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such settlement releases such Indemnitee in full in connection with such matter and provides relief consisting solely of money damages borne by the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding an election of the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such Indemnifiable Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such Indemnifiable Claim at such Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense; provided that the Indemnifying Party and its counsel cooperate with such Indemnitee and its counsel in connection therewith.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending an Indemnifiable Claim (notwithstanding such Indemnitee’s provision of notice), or fails to notify such Indemnifying Party of its election as provided in Section 7.3(b), such Indemnitee may defend such Indemnifiable Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. Any legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with defending such Indemnifiable Claim shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party.

(d) Unless the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Indemnifiable Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, no Indemnitee may settle or compromise any Indemnifiable Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Any dispute that arises between the Parties with respect to the indemnification of an Indemnifiable Claim shall be addressed in accordance with Section 10.3.

(e) The Licensee shall have the right to set-off from any royalty amounts payable by the Licensee or its Affiliates to the Licensor pursuant to Article III and Appendix I of this Agreement, any Losses determined, by final, non-appealable adjudication, to be owed by the Licensor to a Licensee Indemnitee pursuant to such Licensee Indemnitee’s right to indemnification set forth in Section 7.2, to the extent that the Licensor has not paid such Losses within ninety (90) days of such determination.

Section 7.4 Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, THE PARTIES DISCLAIM AND WAIVE ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING WITH REGARD TO QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER VIOLATION, VALIDITY, COMMERCIAL UTILITY, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE), AND EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES IT HAS NOT AND WILL NOT RELY ON ANY SUCH REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES EXCEPT THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE LICENSOR MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER REGARDING THE EXISTENCE OR ABSENCE OF FAULTS, IF ANY, IN THE LICENSED IP, AND THE LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS NOT AND WILL NOT RELY ON ANY SUCH REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES.

Section 7.5 Limitation of Liability. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE RIGHTS OF EITHER PARTY UNDER THE TRANSACTION AGREEMENT, EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WITH RESPECT TO A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 7.1 OR 7.2 OR A PARTY’S BREACH OF ARTICLE VIII, NEITHER PARTY NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR OTHER SPECIAL DAMAGES, OR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE BASED IN CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER EITHER PARTY HAD BEEN ADVISED OF, KNEW OF, OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

ARTICLE VIII

CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 8.1 Confidentiality. The Recipient agrees that any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party shall be kept strictly confidential by the Recipient except that the Recipient may disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to any Affiliate or Third Party service providers to the extent necessary to enable the Recipient to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement; provided that the Recipient shall (a) ensure that any such Affiliate or Third Party is bound (in writing or by operation of Law) by obligations of confidentiality and non-use no less protective of the Disclosing Party than those contained herein, (b) provide the Disclosing Party with prompt written notice upon obtaining any knowledge, information, or notice of any actual or potential breach of such obligations by any such Affiliates or Third Parties and (c) remain responsible and liable for any such Affiliate’s or Third Party’s failure to comply with such obligations. The Recipient further agrees (a) not to use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information except as necessary to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement and (b) to take the same care with the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as it does with its own, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care.

Section 8.2 Product Confidential Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all Confidential Information to the extent related to a Product (“Product Confidential Information”) shall be deemed the Confidential Information of the Licensor; provided that if such Product Confidential Information is exclusively related to the use of a Product in the Field in the Territory, such Product Confidential Information shall be the Confidential Information of both the Licensor and the Licensee; provided, further, that, upon any termination of this Agreement, no Product Confidential Information shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of the Licensee.

Section 8.3 Terms of Agreement. Each of the Parties shall treat the terms of this Agreement as if they were the Confidential Information of the other Party and shall not disclose the terms of this Agreement without the other Party’s prior written consent, except as required by applicable Law, by the rules of any national stock exchange with respect to a Party’s publicly traded securities or as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement.

Section 8.4 Government Order. If, upon advice of counsel, any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by Law or legal process by the Recipient, then the Recipient shall promptly notify the Disclosing Party and, insofar as is permissible and reasonably practicable, give the Disclosing Party an opportunity to, and use diligent and commercially reasonable efforts and reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party to, obtain confidential treatment and, if available, an appropriate protective order therefor, if applicable, and only furnish that Confidential Information that it is advised by legal counsel that it is legally required to furnish.

Section 8.5 Financial Partners. The Recipient may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to existing or potential investors, lenders and other sources of funding, acquirors and Licensors and their respective accountants, financial advisors and other professional representatives; provided that such disclosure shall be made only to the extent customary in the applicable circumstances, it is reasonably necessary for such Persons to know such information for such purpose, and such Persons are bound by customary obligations of confidentiality and non-use prior to any such disclosure.

ARTICLE IX

TERM

Section 9.1 Term. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated in accordance with Section 9.2, the terms of the licenses and other grants of rights (and related obligations) under this Agreement shall remain in effect, on a country-by-country basis, (i) to the extent with respect to the Licensed Patents, on a Patent-by-Patent basis, until expiration, invalidation or abandonment of the last valid claim in such Patent and (ii) with respect to all other Licensed IP, in perpetuity (the “Term”).

Section 9.2 Termination.

(a) Termination for Breach. If the Licensee fails to pay any Quarterly Royalty Payments under Article III or Appendix I when due, then the Licensor shall have the right to deliver notice of such breach to the Licensee (a “Default Notice”). The Licensee shall be deemed to have cured any payment default, provided (i) that fifty percent (50%) of the Quarterly Royalty Amounts outstanding are paid within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Default Notice, the remaining fifty percent (50%) are paid within one year of the Default Notice (the “Complete Repayment Date”) and (ii) a further payment default does not occur within six (6) months of the Complete Repayment Date. If the Licensee fails to cure such breach as set out above, the Licensor shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Licensee. For clarity, if the Licensee disputes that it has not paid such Quarterly Royalty Payment when due in accordance with the terms hereof, the dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 10.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a good faith dispute as to whether such a breach has occurred, the foregoing cure period with respect thereto shall be tolled pending final resolution of such dispute in accordance with the terms of this Agreement with respect to payment of the disputed amounts, and not with respect to any undisputed amount.

(b) Termination for Patent Challenge. In the event the Licensee or any of its Affiliates brings any challenge of the validity, patentability, enforceability or inventorship of any Licensed Patent, including in (i) any court (including any declaratory judgment action), or (ii) activity or Action before a patent office or other Governmental Authority or registrar, including any reissue, reexamination, pre-grant review, post-grant review, opposition, inter partes review, third party observations, protest or similar proceeding (each such challenge, a “Patent Challenge”) against any Licensed Patent during the Term, (a) the Licensee shall provide prompt (but no less than two (2) Business Days’) written notice to the Licensor (“Licensor Patent Challenge Notice”) and (b) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Licensor shall have the right to terminate this Agreement; provided that if the Licensee or any of its Affiliates withdraw or cause to be withdrawn any and all Patent Challenges within thirty (30) days of the Licensor’s written notice to the Licensee, or the Licensor Patent Challenge Notice, whichever is earlier, such that such Patent Challenges are actually withdrawn and no longer pending and there has not been any adverse effect on any Licensed Patent, the Licensor shall not have the right to terminate pursuant to this Section 9.2(b); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) situations where the Licensee, such Affiliate or Sublicensee participating in such Patent Challenge is, upon the advice of outside qualified legal patent counsel, required to participate in such Patent Challenge pursuant to a subpoena or court order, or (ii) any Patent Challenge brought by a Third Party which subsequently becomes an Affiliate of Licensee (provided such Patent Challenge was initiated at least one (1) month before the signing of the definitive document(s) whereby such Third Party became an Affiliate of Licensee) if the Licensee causes such Third Party to file a motion to dismiss with prejudice such Patent Challenge within sixty (60) days after such Third Party becomes an Affiliate of the Licensee such that such Patent Challenge is actually withdrawn and no longer pending and there has not been any adverse effect on any Licensed Patent.

Section 9.3 Consequences of Termination or Expiration.

(a) Upon any termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.2, the Trademark License Agreement, Supply Agreement and Global Brand and Support Agreement shall immediately terminate, and the IPC shall be immediately dissolved and, for the avoidance of doubt, Sections 11.4(b)-(i) of the Global Brand and Support Agreement shall immediately become effective.

(b) Expiration or termination of this Agreement, in part or in its entirety, shall be without prejudice to any rights which shall have accrued to the benefit of either Party prior to such expiration or termination. Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior to such expiration or termination (including, for clarity, any financial obligation that became payable prior to such expiration or termination (which shall be paid by the applicable Party in accordance with the applicable payment terms of this Agreement)). Without limiting the foregoing, the foregoing shall not be construed to limit the Licensee’s obligations under Article III or Appendix I.

^(c) Upon the termination of this Agreement, the licenses and other grants of rights (and related obligations), together with all sublicenses granted, under this Agreement immediately terminate and the Licensee, its Affiliates and any and all Sublicensees shall immediately cease Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of the Products, except to the extent expressly permitted under another Transaction Document.

(d) Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Recipient shall, and shall instruct any Affiliate or Third Party service provider who is in possession of Confidential Information to, return to the Disclosing Party or destroy all of such Confidential Information (at the election of the Disclosing Party) and, if requested in writing by the Disclosing Party, certify in writing that any destruction requested by the Disclosing Party has taken place. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Recipient may retain a copy of the Confidential Information to the extent required by applicable Law and may also retain copies of any computer records and files containing any Confidential Information that have been created pursuant to automatic archiving and back-up procedures; provided that the Recipient shall maintain the confidentiality of each of the foregoing.

Section 9.4 Survival. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the following provisions shall survive the expiration of this Agreement: Article I, Section 5.1, Article VII, Article VIII, Section 9.3, this Section 9.4 and Article X.

ARTICLE X

Each Party may make service on the other Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 10.7. Nothing in this Section 10.3(c), however, shall affect the right of any Person to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

(d) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY AND ALL RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY.

Section 10.8 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, by the Licensee without the prior written consent of the Licensor; provided, however, that the Licensee may, without the Licensor’s consent, assign or transfer this Agreement to (a) an Affiliate or (b) a Third Party in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to which this Agreement relates, whether in a merger, acquisition or similar transaction or series of related transactions; provided that in a merger a successor in interest assumes the obligations of the Licensee hereunder. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void ab initio. The Licensor may assign any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, without the Licensee’s consent. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns. Any assignment of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall not relieve the assignor of its obligations hereunder.

Section 10.9 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived, if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Licensor and the Licensee, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

(b) No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided at Law or in equity.

Section 10.10 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible and in a manner so as to as closely as possible provide the Parties with the intended benefits, net of the intended burdens, set forth in any such invalid, void or unenforceable provision.

Section 10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts (which may be delivered by electronic transmission), each of which (when executed) shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Party.

Section 10.12 Affiliates. Each of the Parties shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by any Affiliate of such Party or by any entity that becomes an Affiliate of such Party on and after the Effective Date.

Section 10.13 No Duplication; No Double Recovery. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer to or impose upon any Party a duplicative right, entitlement, obligation or recovery with respect to any matter arising out of the same facts and circumstances.

Section 10.14 Tax Matters.

(a) The Parties acknowledge and agree that none of the Quarterly Royalty Payments are subject to any withholding or deduction of or on account of Taxes (“Withholding”) under applicable Law as in effect as of the date of this Agreement. If any applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payments then the Licensee shall (i) be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, (ii) timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Taxing Authority in accordance with applicable Law and (iii) provide the Licensor with a receipt or other documentation evidencing such payment, including the amount paid and the applicable Taxing Authority to which payment was made. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in seeking benefits (including any exemption from, refund of or reduction in taxes) under any double taxation or other similar treaty or agreement from time to time in force which may apply to any Quarterly Royalty Payments. If any Withholding is required by applicable Law as a result of a Withholding Action committed by the Licensee or any of its Affiliates, then the Licensee shall pay an additional amount to the Licensor such that, after Withholding from the payment and such additional amount (including Withholding on additional amounts payable pursuant to this sentence), the Licensor receives the same amount as it would have received from the Licensee (except to the extent that the Licensor or any of its Affiliates can obtain a refund or credit for such amounts). No gross-up will be applicable to the extent the increase in the applicable Withholding is a consequence of any action taken by the Licensor. Reduced gross-up will be applicable if (x) the Licensor fails to quality for any double taxation or other similar treaty protection other than due to a Withholding Action committed by the Licensee; or (y) if the Licensor qualifies for any double taxation or other similar treaty protection and fails to provide to the Licensee any relevant documentation as required by Law and reasonably requested by the Licensee in advance of payment to apply the relevant reduced Withholding rate provided by such double taxation or other similar treaty protection. It is understood that under the preceding sentence the gross-up will be determined only in relation and up to the reduced Withholding provided by the applicable double taxation or other similar treaty in place between the country of residence of the Licensor and the Licensee.

(b) All amounts payable under or in connection with this Agreement, are exclusive of Taxes, to the extent applicable.

(c) Where a payment made by the Licensee to the Licensor under or in connection with this Agreement constitutes consideration for a supply (or the equivalent) for VAT purposes, or in case a supply or service under or in connection with this Agreement is subject to VAT, then the Licensee shall pay to the Licensor an additional amount in respect of such VAT chargeable upon the issue of a valid VAT invoice. The Licensor shall issue to the Licensee a valid VAT invoice (or the equivalent) in compliance with applicable VAT Laws in respect thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that a reverse charge procedure applies, the Licensee shall not be required to pay any amount in respect of VAT to the Licensor but the Licensor shall, upon a reasonable request by the Licensee, provide an invoice in a form as reasonably specified by the Licensee for the purposes of the Licensee properly accounting for any VAT under the reverse charge mechanism.

(d) Where one Party is liable to (or to cause one of its Affiliates to) indemnify or reimburse another Party (or one of that Party’s Affiliates) under the terms of or in connection with this Agreement in respect of any amount, including any costs, charges or expenses, the indemnity or reimbursement payment will include an amount equal to any VAT on those costs, charges or expenses that is not recoverable (whether by credit, repayment or otherwise) by the other Party (or its Affiliate), subject to that person using reasonable efforts to recover such amount of VAT provided.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.14, each Party shall be solely responsible for the payment of all Taxes imposed on or measured by its income arising directly or indirectly under this Agreement.

(f) The Licensee shall obtain and deliver to the Licensor, on an annual basis and within ninety (90) days of the Licensor’s request to provide, information as reasonably requested by the Licensor and in the Licensee’s possession to meet any documentation requirements imposed by regulations issued under Section 250 of the Code for the treatment of an appropriate portion of the payments to the Licensor under this Agreement as “foreign-derived deduction eligible income” within the meaning of Section 250 of the Code.

Section 10.15 Construction.

(b) The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring either Party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.
