14.2. Termination for Breach. Either Party may, without prejudice to any other remedies available to it at Law or in equity, terminate this Agreement, in the event that the other Party (as used in this subsection, the "Breaching Party") shall have materially breached its obligations under this Agreement, and the Breaching Party has not cured such breach within [*] (or where the default is a failure to pay monies due, for []) after receipt of written notice of such breach is provided by the non-breaching Party to the Breaching Party to remedy such default. Any such termination shall become effective at the end of such [] period unless the Breaching Party has cured any such breach prior to the expiration of such applicable period. If a material breach cannot be cured within the [] cure period, this Agreement shall not terminate if the breaching Party has made diligent efforts to cure such breach within the [] period and this Agreement shall remain in effect for such period after notice of breach as may be reasonable in the circumstances as long as the breaching Party continues to use diligent efforts to pursue the cure with a reasonable expectation that cure will be effected as promptly as practicable thereafter. In the event the Parties dispute the existence of a material breach or a Party’s diligence in attempting to cure a material breach, termination of this Agreement shall not be deemed to occur unless and until such dispute has been referred for resolution in accordance with Section 18.9 hereof, material breach of the Agreement or failure to make diligent efforts to cure such breach has been established by an arbitration thereunder and, if such breach can be cured by the payment of money or remedial actions within a defined period as established by the arbitration, the breaching Party does not pay the amount so determined to be due within [*] days or perform such remedial actions within such defined period following and as required by such arbitration decision.

		(b) has an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding remains undismissed and unstayed for a period of [***]; or an order for relief is entered against such Party under applicable bankruptcy laws.

14.4. Forest Right of Termination. Forest reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time effective upon delivery of notice to Mylan that it reasonably believes that issues of safety or efficacy are likely to prevent Regulatory Approval of the Product in the United States, to materially delay such approval or to significantly negatively impact the commercial potential of the Product in the United States. In the event of a termination by Forest pursuant to this Section, Forest shall furnish Mylan with reasonable cooperation to assure a smooth transition of any clinical or other studies in progress which Mylan determines to continue in compliance with the Law and ethical guidelines applicable to the transfer or termination of any such studies. In addition, if any NDA has been transferred to Forest prior to the termination, Forest will transfer all such NDA(s) back to Mylan or its designee, and will return all Mylan Confidential Information to Mylan. Finally, in connection with any such termination, Mylan shall be deemed to have a perpetual, fully-paid license, with the right to sublicense, to all intellectual property and know-how of any kind (whether or not patented) owned or controlled by Forest with respect to the Product solely to the extent related to the manufacture, Development or Commercialization of the Product in or for purposes of the Territory.

In such event, the non-breaching Party shall have a perpetual, fully paid license, with the right to sublicense, to all intellectual property and know-how of any kind (whether or not patented) owned or controlled by the breaching Party with respect to the Product solely to the extent related to the manufacture, Development or Commercialization of the Product in or for purposes of the Territory.

		(b) Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any liability or obligation which accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination nor, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement nor prejudice either Party’s right to obtain performance of any obligation. In addition, termination of this Agreement shall not terminate provisions which provide by their respective terms for obligations or undertakings following the expiration of the term of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 16

16.1. Forest. Except for intellectual property infringement, which are covered in Article 17, Forest shall defend Mylan and its Affiliates at Forest’s cost and expense and will indemnify and hold Mylan and its Affiliates 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 attorneys’ 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 Forest of its representations or warranties pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) any negligence or willful misconduct of Forest, its Affiliates, or their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors (including, without limitation, Forest’s contract sales force and permitted sub-distributors), consultants, agents, representatives, or permitted sub-licensees in the exercise of any of Forest’s rights or the performance of any of Forest’s obligations under this Agreement, (iii) personal injury and other product liability resulting from the Development, and (iv) the handling, packaging, pricing, marketing, distribution, off-label promotion, shipping, storage, manufacturing or Commercialization by Forest or any of its Affiliates or permitted sublicensees of the Product in the Territory ; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in all cases referred to in this Section, Forest shall have no liability to Mylan for any Losses to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Losses were caused by any item for which Mylan is required to indemnify Forest pursuant to Section 16.2. Forest has no set-off rights for any such damages.

16.2. Mylan. Except for intellectual property infringement, which are covered in Article 17, Mylan shall defend Forest and its Affiliates at Mylan’s cost and expense, and will indemnify and hold Forest 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 Mylan of any of its representations, warranties or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) negligence or willful misconduct of Mylan in the exercise of any of its rights or the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, except for such Losses for which Forest is obligated to indemnify Mylan pursuant to this Agreement; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in all cases referred to in this Section, Mylan shall have no liability to Forest for any Losses to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Losses were caused by any item for which Forest is required to indemnify Mylan pursuant to Section 16.1. Mylan has no set off rights for any such damages.

16.3. Additional Mylan Indemnification. In addition to the indemnification obligations of Mylan set forth in Section 16.2 and Article 17, Mylan shall defend Forest and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, contractors, representatives and agents and hold them harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred in connection with or arising out of any matter (including, without limitation, Third Party Claims) directly relating to a material breach by Xxxxxxx of any of its representations, warranties or obligations under the Xxxxxxx Agreement, including the Letter Agreement, provided that, such indemnification shall be limited to the extent of Mylan’s recoveries from Xxxxxxx with respect to the same circumstances which occasioned the Loss in question, it being the intention of the parties that Xxxxxxx be responsible for the full amount of any such Forest Loss. Forest agrees that, in connection with any claim or proceeding which Forest may bring to enforce Mylan’s obligations pursuant to this Section 16.3, Forest will only bring such claim or proceeding in a forum where Mylan is not prohibited by the Xxxxxxx Agreement from asserting such corresponding claim against Xxxxxxx.

16.4. Indemnification Procedures.

		(a) Notification. In the case of a Third Party Claim as to which a Party may be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (the "Indemnitor"), such Party seeking indemnification hereunder ("Indemnitee") will notify the Indemnitor in writing of the Third Party Claim (and specifying in reasonable detail the factual basis for the Third Party Claim and to the extent known, the amount of the Third Party Claim) reasonably promptly after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to give such notification will not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnitor shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

		(b) Acknowledgement. If the Indemnitor acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee for a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor will control the litigation and settlement of such matter. The Indemnitee will agree to any settlement, compromise, or discharge of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnitor may recommend that by its terms obligates the Indemnitor to pay the full amount of Losses (whether through settlement or otherwise) in connection with such Third Party Claim and unconditionally and irrevocably releases the Indemnitee completely from all liability in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, the Indemnitor shall not consent to any settlement, compromise, or discharge (including the consent to entry of any judgment), and the Indemnitee may refuse in good faith to agree to any such settlement, compromise, or discharge, that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee for a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall not (unless required by Law) admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise, or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

		(c) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article 16 is unavailable to an Indemnitee in respect of any Third Party Claim or Loss (other than by reason of a breach by Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations), then the Indemnitor, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitor as a result of such Third Party Claim or Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Forest Indemnitees, on the one hand, or Mylan Indemnitees, on the other hand, in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such Third Party Claim or Loss.

16.5. Insurance. Each Party shall maintain, at its cost, an adequate program of self-insurance or insurance policy(ies) against liability and other risks associated with its activities contemplated by this Agreement, in such amounts and on such terms as are customary in the pharmaceutical industry for the activities to be conducted by it under this Agreement. At a minimum, each Party shall maintain, at its cost, a program of self-insurance or a policy providing coverage for (a) general liability insurance of at least [*] per occurrence, [] in the annual aggregate, (b) workers’ compensation insurance in the amounts required by the Law of the jurisdiction(s) in which such Party’s workers are located; and (c) product liability insurance policy of at least [] per occurrence and [*] annual aggregate. Each Party shall provide to the other not less than ten (10) days prior written notice of any cancellation or material change in its foregoing insurance coverage.



ARTICLE 17

PATENTS

17.1. Ownership of Intellectual Property and Inventions. Neither Party shall have any ownership rights in any intellectual property or inventions, including, without limitation, any intellectual property that is neither licensed to a Party pursuant to this Agreement nor created by the Parties pursuant to Development activities under this Agreement. All intellectual property created by the Parties pursuant to Development activities carried out under this Agreement shall be owned by the Party creating such intellectual property, determined in accordance with the applicable laws of inventorship in the jurisdiction where such intellectual property is created or developed, subject only to the rights of the other Party provided herein. The Parties shall grant each other perpetual, paid up, royalty free licenses for such patents solely to the extent related to the Compound or Product with respect to the Territory.

17.2. Prosecution of Patents. Each Party will be solely responsible for the preparation, filing and maintenance of patents owned by such Party; provided that, during the Term, each Party shall copy the other Party on all substantive documents relating to patents received from or to be filed in any patent office in the Territory, within [*] of receipt from the applicable patent office and at least [*] prior to filing with such patent office, respectively, including copies of each patent application, official action, response to official action, declaration, information disclosure statement, request for terminal disclaimer, request for patent term extension, and request for reexamination (which will only be undertaken by joint agreement of the Parties). Each Party shall have the right to comment on the prosecution of such patents and provide such comments to the filing Party’s patent counsel, and the filing Party shall require its patent counsel to consider in good faith such comments from the other Party and comments furnished will not be unreasonably rejected. With respect to inventions resulting from joint inventorship by the Parties, the JDC shall determine whether a joint patent should be filed and, if so, which Party should be responsible for filing, prosecuting, and maintaining any joint patent related to such joint invention based on a good faith determination of the relative contributions and level of interest of the Parties to the joint patents, and the relative extent to which the Product relating to such joint patent is being Developed or Commercialized . The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith a prosecution strategy with respect to any joint patents that would adequately cover the respective interests of the Parties.

17.3. Election Not to Prosecute. If either Party elects not to pursue the initial filing of a potential patent or support the continued prosecution or maintenance of any such patent, such Party will promptly so notify the other Party, and in any event in good time to enable the other Party to timely meet any applicable deadlines. The other Party shall then have the right, but not the obligation, to pursue the filing or support the continued prosecution or maintenance of any such patent at its sole expense in any country where such Party owns or controls rights to the Product. If such other Party does so elect, then the Party which has elected not to pursue such filing, prosecution or maintenance shall provide such cooperation to the other Party, including the execution and filing of appropriate instruments, as may reasonably be requested to facilitate the transition of such patent activities, and shall assign all of its right, title and interest to such patent, other than its rights thereto provided by this Agreement, to the Party electing to pursue such patent activities. The Party electing to pursue such patent activities will grant the other Party a perpetual, paid up, royalty free license to any such patents solely to the extent related to the Compound or Product with respect to the Territory.

17.4. Infringement.

		(a) Third Party Infringement. Each of the Parties shall notify the other of any activity or product which it reasonably believes constitutes an infringement of the Licensed Patents or any other patents owned or controlled by a Party and covering the Product in the Territory or of any claim of invalidity in respect of any such patent. Forest shall have the right, in the first instance, to enforce Licensed Patents and such other patents against such infringing technology or to defend any such claim of invalidity within the Territory. In the event Forest declines to prosecute such infringing technology or to defend such claim within [*] (or such shorter period as may be required to comply with legal or regulatory deadlines which relate to such infringement) of becoming aware thereof, Mylan shall have the right to so enforce or defend. The Parties agree that, irrespective of which Party prosecutes the action, the costs of such prosecution or defense of validity, and the proceeds of any awards, judgments or settlements obtained in connection with an infringement in the Territory shall be [*]. Further, irrespective of which Party prosecutes the action, the other Party shall have the right to participate in all litigation strategies, and the prosecuting Party shall require its counsel to consider in good faith all comments the other Party has regarding such strategies and comments furnished will not be unreasonably rejected. Each Party agrees to furnish the other with such cooperation, including consenting to act as a Party to litigation if required, and exchange of information as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with the prosecution of any such action and the Party prosecuting an infringement or defending a claim of invalidity shall consult periodically with the other Party in connection with any such action. Neither Party shall take any action which would admit the invalidity of a Licensed Patent, or any such other patent without the consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

		(b) Infringement of Third Party Rights. With respect to any and all Third Party claims alleging that the manufacture, use, offer for sale, or sale of the Product in the Territory during the Term infringes or has infringed any Third Party patent or other intellectual property, Mylan shall, subject to Xxxxxxx'x rights and obligations under the Xxxxxxx Agreement, have the obligation to defend and the right to control any action or proceeding with respect to such claim. Mylan shall hold Forest harmless with respect to its involvement, if any, in such action or proceedings and as to all damages, royalties, settlements or costs incurred in connection therewith. Forest agrees to be joined as a party if necessary to defend the action or proceeding and shall provide all reasonable cooperation, including any necessary use of its name, required to defend such litigation.

17.5. Patent Term Extension. The Parties agree to reasonably cooperate in the selection of the appropriate Licensed Patent or other patent covering the Product as listed in the Patent Information section of the Product NDA for filing to obtain a Patent Term Extension pursuant to all applicable laws and regulations ("PTE"). In addition, the Parties agree to timely compile and file the necessary documentation for a PTE request within sixty days of approval by the FDA of the U.S. NDA for the first indication.

17.6. Privileged Communications. In furtherance of this Agreement, it is expected that Forest and Mylan will, from time to time, disclose to one another privileged communications with counsel, including opinions, memoranda, letters and other written, electronic and verbal communications. Such disclosures are made with the understanding that they shall remain confidential, they will not be deemed to waive any applicable attorney-client privilege and that they are made in connection with the shared community of legal interests existing between Mylan and Forest, including the community of legal interests in avoiding infringement of any valid, enforceable patents of Third Parties and maintaining the validity of Licensed Patents or other patents (including joint patents) which cover the Product.

[Section 17.7 deleted pursuant to Section 9.3 of the 2008 Amendment.]

17.8. Condition Precedent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement shall not become effective and the Effective Date shall not be deemed to have occurred unless and until the later of (i) 5 p.m. est on the second business day following a discussion between representatives of Forest and Xxxxxxx with respect to intellectual property matters, provided Forest has not sent written notice to Mylan in accordance with Section 18.1 hereof of Forest’s decision, made in its sole and absolute discretion, not to have the agreement become effective prior to such time, and (ii) the parties receipt of Menarini International Operations Luxemburg SA’s written consent to the license granted by Xxxxxxx to Mylan to the Irish Patents as defined in the Letter Agreement, provided such consent shall be received within fifteen (15) days of the date hereof. In the event Forest delivers notice of intent not to give effect to the Agreement or both of the conditions have not occurred within the time frames set forth above, this Agreement and that certain letter agreement between Forest and Mylan of even date herewith shall be deemed null and void and of no effect.
