If the Company is unable to enforce the terms of such sublicense after using commercially reasonable efforts, and in any event, if the breach has not been cured within twelve (12) months of the Company becoming aware of the breach, the Company shall inform Licensor of the particulars of the breach and the efforts to enforce the sublicense, and shall act reasonably in considering any request of Licensor for the Company to terminate such sublicense for cause.
2.2.3
The terms of this Section 2.2 shall apply to each subsequent Sublicensee or sub-Sublicensee, as if same were the Company’s original Sublicensee.

not then in breach of its sublicense agreement, or
(ii)
in breach of its sublicense agreement, but the greater of:
(A)
30 days from the date of termination of this Agreement; and
(B)
the period set out for curing such breach in the Sublicensee’s sublicense agreement;

the Sublicensee agrees to be bound to Licensor as the licensor under the terms and conditions of this license agreement, as modified by the provisions of this Section 2.2.4;
(c)
the Sublicensee, at Licensor’s written request, assumes in a signed writing the same obligations to Licensor as those assumed by the Company hereunder;

Licensor shall have the right to receive the greater of (a) any payments payable to the Company under such sublicense agreement; and (b) the payments payable to Licensor under this Agreement;
(f)
Licensor shall not assume, and shall not be responsible to such Sublicensee for, any representations, warranties or obligations of the Company to such Sublicensee, other
9
than to permit such Sublicensee to exercise any rights to the Technology that are granted under such sublicense agreement consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
2.2.5
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company believes that Licensor has terminated this Agreement for the primary purpose of doing business directly with the Sublicensee, the termination may be disputed under the provisions of Article 10.
2.2.6
Notwithstanding the definition of “Exploit” contained in this Agreement, and without limiting the Company’s obligations set out in this Section 2.2, in the event that the Company desires to have used or have sold a Licensed Product by a third party, the Company shall do so only pursuant to a sublicense made in accordance with this Section 2.2.

Article 9 Patent Prosecution and Maintenance
9.1
Existing License
The Company acknowledges that Licensor has granted rights to the Patent Rights and Know-how respecting the Compound and Technology for fields outside the Field of Use pursuant to the Existing License, and that such grant includes rights in respect of the prosecution and maintenance of the Patent Rights essentially identical to those set out in this Article 9. The Company acknowledges that its rights under this Article 9 are subject to those previously granted by Licensor pursuant to the Existing License.
9.2
Prosecution and Maintenance
Following the Effective Date, Licensor shall, at Licensor’s expense and on a timely basis in each country in the Territory: (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Patent Rights as set forth in Exhibit 1.23; (ii) pay all fees and file all documentation and other materials required by any Competent Authority in each applicable country to maintain or renew Patent Rights; and (iii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to otherwise maintain the Patent Rights in all countries in which the Company has the
24
right and elects to exercise any or all of its rights hereunder related to the Licensed Product; provided however, that upon written request by Licensor, the Company shall, at no cost or expense to the Company, provide such reasonable assistance as may be necessary to enable Licensor to comply with the administrative formalities necessary to register or maintain any Patent Rights. Licensor shall provide the Company with a reasonable amount of time in which to review and comment on any communication for which submission to any patent office is intended which could materially adversely affect the Company’s rights and licenses granted hereunder in the Patent Rights. Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate the Company’s requests to (a) enter and/or amend a claim in a pending patent application under the Patent Rights or (b) file additional patent applications as reasonably needed to advance the purposes of this Agreement or to protect the rights and licenses granted hereunder, provided that in the event of either (a) or (b), the result of complying with such request would not materially adversely impact the rights of any other licensee of Licensor in the Patent Rights.
9.3
Abandonment
9.3.1
In the event Licensor intends to abandon the prosecution or maintenance of all or any part of Patent Rights claiming the Licensed Product or the Compound (which it shall only be permitted to do in the event it has a bona fide belief that obtaining or maintaining rights are not possible using commercially reasonable efforts), Licensor shall notify the Company no less than sixty (60) days (or such shorter period of time if there is a shorter period of time required by a Competent Authority) prior to the date it intends to abandon the prosecution or maintenance, as applicable, of any such Patent Rights.
9.3.2
In the event Licensor notifies the Company within the period provided in Section 9.3.1, the Company has, subject to the rights referred to in Section 9.1, the right but not the obligation to assume such prosecution and/or maintenance and shall notify Licensor if, and when, the Company wishes to assume the responsibility for prosecuting and maintaining such Patent Rights, as applicable, whereupon Licensor shall permit the Company, subject to the rights referred to in Section 9.1, at the Company’s expense, to take over such prosecution and/or maintenance, as applicable, and Licensor shall cooperate in any such transfer of responsibilities and rights as necessary or prudent for the benefit of the Company to prosecute and/or maintain the foregoing rights.

Licensor shall have the right to review all such pending applications and other proceedings and make recommendations to the Company concerning them and their conduct, but the final decision with respect thereto shall rest with the Company, provided that the Company acts reasonably.
9.3.3
Each party shall make available to the other party or its authorized attorneys, agents or representatives, its employees, agents or consultants necessary or appropriate to enable the other party to file, prosecute and maintain its patent applications covering the Licensed Product for a reasonable period of time sufficient for the other party to obtain the assistance it needs from such personnel.

Article 10 Dispute Resolution
10.1
Disputes
10.1.1
The parties recognize that disputes as to certain matters may from time to time arise during the Term which relate to either party’s rights and/or obligations hereunder or to the interpretation, performance, breach, or termination of this Agreement, (a “Dispute”). It is the objective of the parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of a Dispute 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 10 if and when a Dispute arises under this Agreement.
10.1.2
A Dispute among the parties will be resolved as recited in this Article 10. Any Disputes relating to this Agreement shall be promptly presented to the Chief Executive Officers of Licensor and the Company, or their respective designees (who must be members of a party’s senior management) for resolution. From the date of referral of a Dispute to the Chief Executive Officers or their designees of the parties and until such time as any matter has been resolved by the parties or has been finally settled by arbitration hereunder, the running of the cure periods (if any) as to which a party must cure a breach that is part of the subject matter of any Dispute shall be suspended. In the event that the Chief Executive Officers of Licensor and the Company, or their respective designees, cannot after good faith negotiations resolve the Dispute within 10 days (or such other period of time as mutually agreed to by the parties in writing) of being requested by a party to resolve a Dispute, the parties agree that such Dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with this Article 10.
10.1.3
If a party intends to begin arbitration to resolve such Dispute, such party shall provide written notice (the “Arbitration Notice”) to the other party informing such other party of such intention and the issues to be resolved. Any arbitration hereunder shall be conducted pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the Supplementary Procedures for Large Complex Disputes (the “AAA Rule”) except as modified herein. The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators (the “Panel”) to be mutually agreed upon by the parties and appointed by the AAA. The arbitrators shall be industry experts experienced in the issues comprising the Dispute and shall have no past, present or anticipated future affiliation with either party. If the parties are unable to agree upon all or any number of the three (3) mutually acceptable arbitrators within thirty (30) days after the filing of the Arbitration Notice, the AAA shall promptly appoint the arbitrator(s) to complete the Panel in accordance with the criteria set forth in this Article 10. The arbitration shall take place in Denver, Colorado. The Panel shall apply the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. The Panel shall issue appropriate protective orders to protect each party’s Confidential Information. If a party can demonstrate to the Panel that the complexity of the issue or other reasons warrant the extension of one or more timetables in the AAA Rules, the Panel may extend such timetables but in no event shall the proceeding extend more than twelve (12) months from the date of filing of the Arbitration Notice with the AAA. The Panel’s decision shall be in writing. The Panel shall have the authority to award any remedy allowed by law or in equity, including compensatory damages, pre-judgment interest and to grant final, complete, interim, or interlocutory relief, including specific performance, injunctions and other equitable relief, but not punitive or other damages set forth in Section 17.9 and each party shall be deemed to have waived any right to such excluded damages. Each party shall bear its own costs, fees and expenses in the arbitration and shall share equally the Panel’s fees, unless the Panel determines that its fees are to be paid by the non-prevailing party.
26
10.2
Performance to Continue
Each party shall continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement pending final resolution of any Dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement; provided, however, that a party may suspend performance of its obligations during any period in which the other party fails or refuses to perform its obligations.
10.3
Determination of Patents and Other Intellectual Property
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 10, any dispute relating to the determination of validity of claims, infringement or claim interpretation relating to Licensor’s Patent Rights shall be submitted exclusively to a court of competent jurisdiction.
10.4
Injunctive Relief
Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent either party from seeking a temporary restraining order or injunction against the other party as required to prevent such other party’s misuse of the intellectual property or Confidential Information of the other party seeking such temporary restraining order or injunction. The parties understand and agree that because of the difficulty in measuring economic losses to the non breaching party as a result of a breach of the covenants set forth in this Agreement respecting intellectual property and Confidential Information and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that may be caused to the non breaching party for which monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy, the parties agree that the non breaching party will be entitled to seek specific performance, temporary and permanent injunctive relief, and such other equitable remedies to which it may then be entitled against the breaching party. This Section 10.4 shall not limit any other legal or equitable remedies that the non breaching party may have against the breaching party.
Article 11 Term and Termination
11.1
Term
This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall expire on the date of the expiration of the last to expire Royalty Term in any country in the Territory (the “Term”), unless earlier terminated as provided in Sections 11.2, 11.3 or 11.5.
11.2
Termination for Insolvency
If the Company shall become bankrupt, or shall file a petition in bankruptcy, and such petition shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof, or if the business of the Company shall be placed in the hands of a receiver, assignee or trustee for the benefit of creditors, whether by the voluntary act of the Company or otherwise, this Agreement shall automatically terminate.
11.3
Termination for Breach
Upon any material breach or default of this Agreement by the Company, including any failure on the part of the Company to make payment to Licensor of royalties or other payments due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement that are not the subject of a bona fide dispute between Licensor and the Company, Licensor shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the rights, privileges and license granted hereunder by giving 60 days prior written notice to the Company. Subject to Article 10 and the immediately preceding sentence, upon the expiration of the 60 day period, if the Company shall not cured
27
such breach or default or tendered the payments due to Licensor, this Agreement shall, at the option of Licensor, terminate upon written notice of Licensor. If a dispute regarding termination is addressed according to Article 10, this license shall remain in full force and effect until such dispute is settled or determined in accordance with Article 10. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.3, if the nature of any breach or default (excluding any obligation to pay money) is such that the breach or default cannot be cured through commercially reasonably efforts within such 60 day period, and the Company has (within such time period) submitted a plan for cure as promptly as is reasonably practicable through the application of commercially reasonable efforts with a cure date reasonably acceptable to Licensor, then Licensor shall grant the Company additional time in which to cure said breach or default until the earlier of the cure date agreed to by Licensor or the date the Company ceases commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach.
11.4
Expiry of Royalty Term on a Country by Country Basis
Upon expiry of the Royalty Term in each country in the Territory, the Company will have an irrevocable, paid up, royalty-free license under the Patent Rights to Exploit the Licensed Products in such country.

Notice of Infringement of Patent Rights
The Company and Licensor shall promptly provide written notice, to the other party, of any alleged infringement or any challenge or threatened challenge to the validity, enforceability or priority of any of

12.2
Option to Prosecute or Defend Patent Rights
During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prosecute and/or defend, at its own expense and utilizing counsel of its choice, any infringement of the Patent Rights where such infringement relates to such third party activities in the Field of Use in the Territory. In furtherance of such right, Licensor hereby agrees that the Licensor may join Company as a party in any such suit (and will join at the Company’s request), provided that the Company pay all of Licensor’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. The Company shall indemnify and hold Licensor harmless against any costs, expenses or liability that may be found or assessed against Licensor in any such suit other than costs, expenses or liability primarily due to a breach by Licensor of its representations and warranties set out in Section 13.1, or willful misconduct of Licensor and/or any of Licensor’s Affiliates and Sublicensees under this Agreement, including but not limited to violation of Applicable Laws in their performance of this Agreement. Any recovery of damages pursuant to this Section 12.2 shall be allocated pursuant to Section 12.4 below.
12.3
Infringement by Licensed Product
In the event that a claim or suit is asserted or brought against the Company alleging that the manufacture or sale of any Licensed Product by the Company, an Affiliate of the Company, or any Sublicensee, or the use of such Licensed Product by any customer of any of the foregoing, infringes proprietary rights of a third party, the Company shall give written notice thereof to Licensor. The Company may, in its sole discretion, modify such Licensed Product to avoid such infringement and/or may settle on terms that it deems advisable in its sole discretion, subject to Section 12.2, provided that any final disposition of the litigation that will restrict the patent claims in or admit any invalidity of any Patent Rights(s) or significantly adversely affect Licensor’s rights in the Know-how shall not be made without full consultation with and approval by Licensor, not to be unreasonably withheld. Otherwise, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend any such claim or suit. In the event the Company elects not to defend such suit, Licensor shall have the right, but not the obligation to do so, subject to Section 14.2, at its sole expense.
12.4
Allocation of Damages Recovered
Any recovery of damages by the Company, in any such suit under Section 12.2 or 12.3, shall be applied first in satisfaction of any unreimbursed expenses and legal fees of the Company relating to the suit. The balance remaining from any such recovery shall be allocated as follows: (i) lost profits shall be allocated on the basis of [****] retained by the Company, provided however, that the Company shall pay Licensor remuneration on such lost profits pursuant to Article 7 of this Agreement as if such profits had been generated from Net Sales; and (ii) the balance of any such recover shall be allocated on the basis of [****] retained by the Company and [****] paid to Licensor.

32
12.5
Credit of Litigation Costs
12.5.1
The Company’s sole method of recovering its costs of litigation from Licensor under this Article 12 shall be that the Company may credit up to [****] of the reasonable costs of any litigation incurred by the Company in respect of a Licensed Product in any country against royalties or other fees thereafter payable to Licensor for such Licensed Product in such country in accordance with Section 7.12. If the costs of such litigation in such country exceeds such royalties payable to Licensor in any year in which such costs are incurred, then the amount of such costs, expenses and amounts paid in judgment or settlement, in excess of the royalties payable shall be carried over and credited against royalty payments in future years for such Licensed Product in such country, and, in the event that the Company has no further obligation to pay royalties to Licensor under this Agreement in such country and there are amounts then unrecovered by the Company, then Licensor shall not be liable to the Company for such amounts.
12.5.2
No credit will be available under this Section if the third party product does not infringe the rights licensed hereunder or the infringement by the Licensed Product does not relate to the rights licensed hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and by way of explanation, credit pursuant hereto will be available if: the Exploitation of the Compound or any Licensed Product covered by a Valid Claim infringes third party proprietary rights; but not available if the infringement arises due to the presence of a component of a Licensed Product where the product would still be a Licensed Product without such component, for example, if the Licensed Product infringes third party proprietary rights because of its packaging, dispenser or carrier, or, in respect of a Licensed Product which is a combination product, the Licensed Product infringes third party proprietary rights because of the presence of the Active Component.
12.5.3
In the event that the parties to this Agreement are unable to agree on whether or not any credit is available pursuant to this Section, including, without limitation, in instances where settlements are entered into and no judgement is rendered on the issue of infringement, within 90 days of commencing efforts to agree on same, then the parties hereto shall appoint a mutually acceptable person as an independent evaluator to make a final determination respecting same. The parties shall submit such written materials as they deem necessary to the evaluator appointed pursuant to this Section within 30 days of the evaluator’s appointment. The evaluator appointed pursuant to this Section shall make a final determination respecting same within 30 days of the submission of written materials by the parties hereto, and such determination shall be binding upon both parties. Each party shall bear 50% of the cost of the evaluation pursuant to this Section.
12.6
Cooperation
12.6.1
In any suit to enforce and/or defend the Patent Rights pursuant to this Agreement, the party not in control of such suit shall, at the request and expense of the controlling party, cooperate in all respects and, to the extent possible, have its employees testify when requested and make available relevant records, papers, information, samples, specimens, and the like.
12.6.2
The parties acknowledge and agree that circumstances may arise in which a party hereto may desire to protect its interests by joining or intervening in litigation or other proceeding involving the Patent Rights, which proceeding has neither been brought by that party nor levied against that party. Accordingly, neither party shall object or oppose any effort by the other party, at its own expense, to join or intervene in such litigation or other proceedings involving the Patent Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the original party to such litigation or other proceeding shall retain control over such litigation or other proceeding, and the joining or intervening party shall cooperate with such original party as reasonably requested.

Co-operation with Other Licensees

12.7.1
a challenge to the Patent Rights;
12.7.2
fields outside of the Field of Use that may reasonably affect the Company’s use of the Patent Rights and Know-how in the Field of Use or the use or sale of Licensed Products by the Company; or
12.7.3
the Field of Use that may reasonably affect Licensor or one or more of Licensor’s licensee’s use of the Patent Rights and Know-how outside the Field of Use or the making, manufacture, use or sale of products outside the Field of Use by Licensor or one or more other such licensee(s);
then, subject to the Company’s rights under Sections 12.2 and 12.3, Licensor, the Company and such other licensee(s) will use good faith efforts to determine jointly the course of action, if any, necessary or appropriate to prosecute or defend the litigation. Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts to include in its other license agreements, provisions that allow the participation of the Company as contemplated herein. If Licensor is unable to include in any such other license agreement such provisions, then with respect to the licensee under such other license agreement, the Company shall not be bound by the terms and conditions of Section 12.7.

Each party shall furnish the other with a certificate of insurance signed by an authorized representative of such party’s insurance underwriter evidencing the insurance coverage required by this Agreement and providing for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party of any cancellation, termination or reduction of such insurance coverage.

Article 16 Confidentiality
16.1
Confidentiality and Non-Use
Any proprietary or confidential information relating to the Patent Rights and Know-how (including but not limited to patent prosecution documents relating to Patent Rights) collectively constitute the “Confidential Information.” Neither party will use the Confidential Information of the other party for any purpose unrelated to this Agreement, and will hold it in confidence during the Term and for a period of five (5) years after the termination or expiration date of this Agreement. Each party shall exercise with respect to such the Confidential Information the same degree of care as it exercises with respect to its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature, but in any event no less than reasonable care, and shall not disclose it or permit its disclosure to any third party (except to those of its employees, consultants, or agents who are bound by the same obligation of confidentiality as the receiving party is bound by pursuant to this Agreement). However, such undertaking of confidentiality by the parties shall not apply to any information or data which:
16.1.1
is received at any time from a third-party lawfully in possession of same and having the right to disclose same;
16.1.2
is, as of the date of this Agreement, in the public domain, or subsequently enters the public domain through no fault of the receiving party;
16.1.3
is independently developed by the receiving party as demonstrated by written evidence without reference to information disclosed to the receiving party by the disclosing party;
16.1.4
is disclosed pursuant to the prior written approval of the disclosing party; or

16.2
Limited Disclosure and Publication by Licensor
Licensor acknowledges and agrees that the proprietary and confidential information that forms part of the Know-how licensed to the Company has value to the Company in being maintained as confidential. Therefore, Licensor shall take reasonable precautions to prevent the inadvertent disclosure of such information and shall disclose such information only under an obligation of confidence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor may publish such information only where to do so would not cause material harm to the Company.
37
