4.4.3 The royalty percentage then applicable under this Section 4.4 to Net Sales of any Product made in any country in the Territory shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%) if at the time of the sale of such Product in such country, the use, manufacture, offer for sale, sale and import of such Product in such county is not covered by a Valid Claim.
4.4.4 In the event that a Generic Product enters the market and such Generic Product causes a price reduction of at least 25% for two consecutive Calendar Quarters, OPIANT may reduce the royalty payments for sales of such Product by fifty percent (50%); provided, no payment to AEGIS shall be reduced by more than fifty percent (50%) of the amount payable before any reductions or credits (although any unused excess credit may be carried forward and applied against future payments). After any such reduction, if the Net Sales of the Product are restored for a period of at least two (2) Consecutive Quarters, to the volume and price which existed immediately prior to the entry of a Generic Product, then the royalty rates shall also be restored to the rates in effect prior to the entry of such Generic Product.
4.4.5 If the level of competition, patent protection or the general commercial environment for such Product affects in any material respect the commercial viability of a Product at the then applicable royalty rate due under this Agreement for any country(ies) in the Territory, upon written request from OPIANT, AEGIS will negotiate in good faith with OPIANT for a reduction of such royalty rates, as applicable to such Product in such country.
4.4.6 Third Party Licenses.
(a) If OPIANT determines, in its reasonable judgment (subject to subpart c below), that the intellectual property rights of a third party are necessary for the Exploitation of a Product or practice of any AEGIS Technology in accordance with this License Agreement, then the royalty and milestone amounts owed to AEGIS hereunder for Exploiting the AEGIS Technology in the country (or countries) where such third party intellectual property rights are enforceable shall be subject to a credit reduction in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of any payments that OPIANT (or any of its sublicensees) pays such third party to use such third party intellectual property rights; provided, no payment to AEGIS shall be reduced by more than fifty percent (50%) of the amount payable before any reductions or credits (although any unused excess credit may be carried forward and applied against future payments).
(b) If OPIANT determines, in its reasonable judgment, that the technology, and/or a license to intellectual property rights, of a third party is useful, but not necessary, for the development, manufacture, or commercialization of any Product or for the practice (or sublicensing) of any AEGIS Technology in accordance with this License Agreement, then the royalty and milestone amounts owed to AEGIS hereunder for Exploiting the AEGIS Technology in the country (or countries) where such third party intellectual property rights are enforceable shall be subject to a credit reduction in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount of any third party technology payments that OPIANT (or any of its sublicensees) pays such third party to obtain such technology and/or rights; provided, no payment to AEGIS shall be reduced by more than fifty percent (50%) of the amount payable before any reductions or credits (although any unused excess credit may be carried forward and applied against future payments).

11
Confidential
practice of any AEGIS Technology in accordance with this License Agreement, AEGIS may submit such dispute to an independent third party arbiter, mutually agreed to by the Parties, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, and such arbiter to have at least ten (10) years' experience in the biopharmaceutical industry overseeing drug development or patent law, who shall determine within thirty (30) days whether, in the absence of rights granted by such third party, the practice of any AEGIS Technology in accordance with this License Agreement would likely or actually infringe or misappropriate such third party’s intellectual property. Such arbiter’s determination shall be final and binding on the Parties, and any dispute with respect to such arbiter’s determination shall not be submitted for resolution pursuant to Section 10.2. Additionally, any determination of likely or actual infringement shall be deemed a determination that such license to intellectual property rights of a third party is “necessary” for purposes of Section 4.4.5(a).
4.5 Royalty Reports.
4.5.1 After the First Commercial Sale of the first Product, OPIANT shall keep complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to properly reflect all gross sales and Net Sales, and to enable the royalties payable to AEGIS under Section 4.4 to be determined.
4.5.2 Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter during the term of this License Agreement following the First Commercial Sale of the first Product by OPIANT, its sublicensees (subject to Section 4.9) or their respective Affiliates, OPIANT shall furnish to AEGIS a written report showing in reasonable detail, on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis), (a) the Net Sales of Products sold by OPIANT, its Affiliates and sublicensees during such Calendar Quarter; (b) the calculation of the royalties which shall have accrued based upon such Net Sales; (c) the withholding taxes, if any, required by law to be deducted with respect to such Net Sales; and (d) the exchange rates, if any, used in determining the amount of U.S. dollars.
4.5.3 All royalties shown to have accrued by each royalty report provided under this Section 4.5 shall be payable on the date such royalty report is due. Payment of royalties in whole or in part may be made in advance of such due date. All royalty reports are the Confidential Information of OPIANT.
4.6 Audits.
4.6.1 Upon the written request of AEGIS and not more than once in each Calendar Year, OPIANT shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing, selected by AEGIS and reasonably acceptable to OPIANT, at AEGIS’ expense, to have access during normal business hours to such of the records of OPIANT as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the royalty reports under Section 4.5 for any year ending not more than thirty-six (36) months prior to the date of such request. The accounting firm shall be required to sign a confidentiality agreement for the benefit of, and in a form reasonably acceptable to, OPIANT, and shall disclose to AEGIS and OPIANT only whether the reports are correct or not and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. No other information shall be shared.
4.6.2 If such accounting firm concludes that additional royalties were owed during the audited period, OPIANT shall pay such additional royalties within thirty (30) days after the date AEGIS delivers to OPIANT such accounting firm’s written report so concluding. If such accounting firm concludes that OPIANT has overpaid royalties during the audited period, OPIANT shall have the right to credit the amount of the overpayment against each subsequent quarterly payment due to AEGIS until the overpayment has been fully applied to pay such additional royalties. If the overpayment is not fully applied prior to the final quarterly payment of royalties due hereunder, AEGIS shall promptly refund to OPIANT an amount equal to any remaining overpayment. The fees charged by such accounting firm
12
Confidential
shall be paid by XXXXX provided, however, if the audit discloses that the royalties payable by OPIANT for such period are more than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the royalties actually paid for such period, then OPIANT shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses charged by such accounting firm.
4.6.3 OPIANT shall include in each permitted sublicense granted by it pursuant to the License Agreement a provision requiring the sublicensee to make reports to OPIANT, and to keep and maintain records of sales made pursuant to such sublicense, and to permit audits by OPIANT of such records. OPIANT shall grant access to such reports by AEGIS’ independent accountant as set forth in Section 4.6.1.
4.6.4 AEGIS shall treat all financial information subject to review under this Section 4.6 as Confidential Information of OPIANT consistent with Section 7, and shall cause its accounting firm to retain all such financial information in confidence.
4.7 Payment Method. All payments owed under this License Agreement shall be paid in United States Dollars in immediately available funds and shall be made by wire transfer from a United States bank located in the United States to such bank account as designated from time to time by AEGIS to OPIANT. For the purposes of computing Net Sales of Products commercialized by OPIANT that are sold in a currency other than U.S. dollars, such currency shall be converted into U.S. dollars as calculated at the actual average rates of exchange for the pertinent month as reported in the Wall Street Journal, or at such other exchange ratio as the Parties may mutually approve in writing.
4.8 Taxes and Duties. If OPIANT is required to withhold any tax to the tax or revenue authorities in any country regarding any payment to AEGIS due to the applicable laws of such country, such amount shall be deducted from the payment to be made by OPIANT, and OPIANT shall promptly notify AEGIS of such withholding. Within a reasonable amount of time after making such deduction, OPIANT shall furnish AEGIS with copies of any documentation evidencing such withholding and the related payment by OPIANT to the applicable tax authority. Each Party agrees to cooperate with the other in claiming exemptions from such deductions or withholdings under any agreement or treaty from time to time in effect, and in obtaining papers from or filing papers with the applicable tax authority. However, any such deduction or withholding shall be an expense of and borne solely by AEGIS.
4.9 Sublicense Revenue. In the event OPIANT, or its Affiliates, grants any sublicenses to third parties pursuant to Section 3.2 of this License Agreement, in lieu of any license maintenance fees, milestones or royalties which may be due to AEGIS under this License Agreement, OPIANT shall pay to AEGIS the Sublicense Rate (defined below) of the Sublicense Revenue (defined below) received by OPIANT or its Affiliate (the “Sublicense Fee”). Upon OPIANT’s request from time to time, AEGIS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist OPIANT in establishing any such sublicense agreement, including, without limitation, cooperating in the due diligence review by prospective sublicensees, provided OPIANT shall reimburse AEGIS for any third party expenses, including but not limited to legal fees for support of intellectual property due diligence, incurred by AEGIS in support of such activities. For clarity, the value of any and all equity received by AEGIS from OPIANT shall be specifically excluded from the Sublicense Fee. However, in no event shall AEGIS’s share of royalties received from sublicensees and included in the Sublicense Fee be less than 2.0% of Net Sales of Products by the relevant sublicensee, for sublicenses granted by OPIANT (or its Affiliate).
“Sublicense Rate” shall be negotiated in good faith by the Parties upon the request of OPIANT.

Each Party shall notify the other Party of any infringement known to such Party of any AEGIS Patent Rights, OPIANT Patent Rights, or Joint Patent Rights for any Product for use in the Field and shall provide the other Party with the available evidence, if any, of such infringement.
6.5.2 Paragraph IV Claims. Except to the extent otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, the costs for any patent infringement litigation suit based on a Paragraph IV certification or any equivalent action outside the United States (i.e., an ANDA patent infringement litigation involving a patent listed pursuant to 21 U.S.C. Section 355(a)(2)(A)(iv)) involving the AEGIS Patent Rights, Joint Patent Rights or OPIANT Patent Right (to the extent covering a Product), in which a third party sends a notice letter or where OPIANT is a named defendant, or by OPIANT where OPIANT is a named plaintiff, in each case irrespective of whether AEGIS is also named as a defendant or
17
Confidential
plaintiff (a “Paragraph IV Claim”), shall be borne equally by the Parties; provided however that said costs involve the AEGIS Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights. OPIANT shall have sole right to institute, prosecute, defend and control such litigation. AEGIS shall cooperate fully in such litigation, and in the case where OPIANT desires to bring such litigation, at OPIANT’s request, XXXXX agrees to join any such litigation to enforce the AEGIS Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights against the third party or parties that made such Paragraph IV certification. AEGIS shall have the right to approve any settlement that would adversely affect the AEGIS Patent Rights or AEGIS’s rights under this License Agreement or result in any liability or admission on behalf of AEGIS, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any recovery realized as a result of such litigation shall be first applied to the prorata reimbursement of any reasonable litigation expenses of OPIANT and AEGIS under this Section 6.5.2. Any remaining recovery realized from litigation brought pursuant to this Section 6.5.2 shall be treated as profits on sales of Products for purposes of determining Net Sales under this License Agreement, with AEGIS receiving the applicable royalty for purposes of Section 4.4 on such deemed Net Sales, and OPIANT receiving the remainder. For purposes of illustration, if the recovery under this Section 6.5.2 is $100 Million (U.S. $100,000,000), after reimbursement of any reasonable litigation expenses, and OPIANT’s gross margin for the Product as determined for the most-recent Calendar Quarter completed prior to the initial certification or infringing action was eighty percent (80%), then the Net Sales would be deemed to be One Hundred Twenty-Five Million U.S. dollars ($125,000,000) and such amount would be included in the next royalty report pursuant to Section 4.5. All other patent infringement litigation involving the AEGIS Patent Rights shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 6.5.3.
6.5.3 AEGIS Patent Rights. Except as set forth in Section 6.5.2, AEGIS, at its sole expense, shall have the right to determine the appropriate course of action to enforce the AEGIS Patent Rights or otherwise xxxxx the infringement thereof, to take (or refrain from taking) appropriate action to enforce the AEGIS Patent Rights, to control any litigation or other enforcement action and to enter into, or permit, the settlement of any such litigation or other enforcement action with respect to the AEGIS Patent Rights, and shall consider, in good faith, the interests of OPIANT in so doing. If AEGIS does not, within ninety (90) days after receipt of any notice from OPIANT under Section 6.4.1, either xxxxx the infringement of the AEGIS Patent Rights for any Product in the Field or file suit to enforce the AEGIS Patent Rights against at least one infringing party, or, to the extent UAB has the first right to do so pursuant to the UAB Licensing Agreement, cause UAB to do so, OPIANT shall have the right, upon prior written notice to AEGIS, to take whatever action it deems appropriate to enforce the AEGIS Patent Rights for any Product in the Field and if OPIANT provides to AEGIS an opinion issued by a nationally recognized patent attorney opining that AEGIS is an indispensable party plaintiff to such suit then AEGIS shall agree to join such litigation as a party upon XXXXXX’S written request.
6.5.4 Joint Patent Rights.
(a) OPIANT, at its sole expense, shall have the right to determine the appropriate course of action to enforce any Joint Patent Rights that claim Compound(s), Product(s), and/or Excipient(s) used in Product(s) or otherwise xxxxx the infringement thereof, to take (or refrain from taking) appropriate action to enforce such Joint Patent Rights, to control any litigation or other enforcement action and to enter into, or permit, the settlement of any such litigation or other enforcement action with respect to such Joint Patent Rights, and shall consider, in good faith, the interests of AEGIS in so doing. If OPIANT does not, within ninety (90) days after receipt of any notice from AEGIS under Section 6.5.1, either xxxxx the infringement of such Joint Patent Rights or file suit to enforce such Joint Patent Rights against at least one infringing party, AEGIS shall have the right, upon prior written notice to OPIANT, to take whatever action it deems appropriate to enforce such Joint

(b) AEGIS, at its sole expense, shall have the right to determine the appropriate course of action to enforce the Joint Patent Rights that claims Excipient(s), and do not claim Compound(s), Product(s), and/or Excipient(s) used in Product(s), or otherwise xxxxx the infringement thereof, to take (or refrain from taking) appropriate action to enforce such Joint Patent Rights, to control any litigation or other enforcement action and to enter into, or permit, the settlement of any such litigation or other enforcement action with respect to such Joint Patent Rights, and shall consider, in good faith, the interests of OPIANT in so doing. If AEGIS does not, within ninety (90) days after receipt of any notice from OPIANT under Section 6.5.1, xxxxx the infringement of such Joint Patent Rights or file suit to enforce such Joint Patent Rights against at least one infringing party, OPIANT shall have the right, upon prior written notice to AEGIS, to take whatever action it deems appropriate to enforce such Joint Patent Rights; provided, however, that, within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of OPIANT’s intent to file such suit, AEGIS shall have the right to join such suit as a co-plaintiff or co-defendant with OPIANT and to fund up to one-half (1/2) the costs of such suit.
6.5.5 Cooperation; Recovery. OPIANT and AEGIS shall reasonably cooperate with each other in the planning and execution of any action under Sections 6.5.3 or 6.5.4. The Party controlling any such enforcement action shall not settle the action or otherwise consent to an adverse judgment in such action that diminishes the rights or interests of the non-controlling Party without the prior written consent of the other Party. Except as otherwise agreed to by the Parties as part of a cost-sharing arrangement, any recovery realized as a result of such litigation shall be first applied to the prorata reimbursement of any reasonable litigation expenses of OPIANT and AEGIS. Any remaining recovery realized from such litigation shall be treated as profits on sales of Products for purposes of determining Net Sales under this License Agreement, with AEGIS receiving the applicable royalty for purposes of Section 4.4 on such deemed Net Sales, and OPIANT receiving the remainder. For purposes of illustration, if the recovery under Sections 6.5.3 or 6.5.4 is One Hundred Million U.S. dollars (U.S. $100,000,000), after reimbursement of any reasonable litigation expenses, and OPIANT’s gross margin for the Product as determined for the most-recent Calendar Quarter completed prior to the initial infringing action was eighty percent (80%), then the Net Sales would be deemed to be One Hundred Twenty-Five Million U.S. dollars ($125,000,000) and such amount would be included in the next royalty report pursuant to Section 4.5.
6.5.6 OPIANT Patent Rights. OPIANT, at its sole expense, shall have the right to determine the appropriate course of action to enforce the OPIANT Patent Rights or otherwise xxxxx the infringement thereof, to take (or refrain from taking) appropriate action to enforce the OPIANT Patent Rights, to control any litigation or other enforcement action and to enter into, or permit, the settlement of any such litigation or other enforcement action with respect to the OPIANT Patent Rights.
6.6 FDA Matters. AEGIS covenants that it will not in the performance of its obligations under this License Agreement use the services of any person debarred or suspended under 21 U.S.C. §335(a) or (b). XXXXX will not hire, as an officer or an employee any person who has been convicted of a felony under the laws of the United States for conduct relating to the regulation of any drug product under the United States Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

7.1 Confidentiality. During the term of this License Agreement and for a period of ten (10) years following the expiration or earlier termination hereof, each Party shall maintain in confidence the Confidential Information of the other Party, shall not use or grant the use of the Confidential Information of the other Party except as expressly permitted hereby, and shall not disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party solely on a “need to know basis”, to Affiliates, and their and each of the Parties’ respective directors, employees, contractors and agents, each of whom prior to disclosure must be bound by obligations of nondisclosure and non-use no less restrictive than the obligations set forth in this Section 7; provided, however, that, in each of the above situations, the receiving Party shall remain responsible for any failure by any person or entity that receives Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 7.1 to treat such Confidential Information as required under this Section 7. To the extent that disclosure to any person is authorized by this License Agreement, prior to disclosure, a Party shall obtain written agreement of such person to hold in confidence and not disclose, use or grant the use of the Confidential Information of the other Party except as expressly permitted under this License Agreement. Each Party shall notify the other Party promptly upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information.
7.2 Terms of License Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, neither party shall disclose any terms or conditions of this License Agreement to any third party without the prior consent of the other Party; provided, however, that a Party may disclose the terms or conditions of this License Agreement, (a) on a need-to-know basis to its legal and financial advisors to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary, and (b) to a third party in connection with (i) an equity investment in, or lending arrangement with, such third party, (ii) a sublicense, collaboration, co-promotion, strategic partnership, merger, consolidation or similar transaction by such Party, or (iii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such Party. In addition, OPIANT acknowledges that AEGIS is required and shall have the right to provide a copy of this License Agreement (and any subsequent amendment hereto), to UAB under the confidentiality provisions of the UAB Licensing Agreement. AEGIS shall use reasonable efforts to enforce the confidentiality provisions of the UAB Licensing Agreement to the fullest extent permitted thereby so as to preserve the confidentiality of this License Agreement and its terms, and shall not consent to any disclosure of this License Agreement or its terms to any third party by UAB. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may disclose the fact that the Parties have entered into this exclusive license agreement, and a general description of the AEGIS Patent Rights, the Product, and the Field covered by this License Agreement.
7.3 Permitted Disclosures. The confidentiality obligations under this Section 7 shall not apply to any portion of Confidential Information to the extent that a Party is required to disclose such portion by applicable Law, regulation or order of a governmental agency or a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that, to the extent practicable (based on regulation or applicable Law), such Party shall provide written notice thereof to the other Party, consult with the other Party with respect to such disclosure and provide the other Party sufficient opportunity to object to any such disclosure or to request confidential treatment thereof.
20
Confidential
7.4 Publicity. If either Party wishes to make a public disclosure concerning this License Agreement, such Party shall provide the other Party in advance with a copy of such proposed disclosure and the other Party shall have two (2) Business Days within which to approve or disapprove the content of the proposed disclosure. Neither Party shall unreasonably withhold approval of such disclosure. Failure to respond within such two (2) Business Day period shall constitute approval. Either Party may disclose the existence of this License Agreement and the terms and conditions hereof, without the prior written consent of the other Party, as may be required by applicable Law (including, without limitation, disclosure requirements of any Regulatory Authority (including without limitation the FDA and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the NYSE, NASDAQ or any other stock exchange), in which case the Party seeking to disclose the information shall provide written notice thereof to the other Party, consult with the other Party with respect to such disclosure and provide the other Party sufficient opportunity to object to any such disclosure or to request confidential treatment thereof. Once a Party has approved the substance of any disclosure concerning this License Agreement, whether in a press release, a filing with a Regulatory Authority or otherwise, such Party may thereafter republish such disclosure in any other medium without again obtaining the prior approval of the other Party.
8. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
8.1 Indemnification by OPIANT.

8.2 Indemnification by AEGIS. AEGIS shall indemnify and hold harmless OPIANT, its Affiliates and sublicensees, and its and their directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns, from and against all losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising from any claims, demands, actions or other proceedings by any third party arising from (a) the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant by AEGIS under this License Agreement; (b) the Exploitation of the AEGIS Technology or Excipient(s) by AEGIS, its licensees (excluding OPIANT) or their respective Affiliates and sublicensees; (c) any claim of any third party that AEGIS willfully disclosed or made available to OPIANT any AEGIS Technology in violation of an obligation of AEGIS to such third party; or (d) any claim of any third party that the AEGIS TECHNOLOGY infringes or misappropriates any third party intellectual property right; provided, however, that such indemnification right shall not apply to any losses, liabilities, damages or expenses to the extent directly attributable to the negligence, reckless misconduct, or intentional misconduct of a Party seeking indemnification under this Section 8.2.
8.3 Procedure. A Party that intends to claim indemnification under this Section 8 (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding for which the Indemnitee intends to claim indemnification; provided, however, that the failure to provide written notice of such claim within a reasonable period of time will not relieve the Indemnitor of any of its obligation hereunder, except to the extent that
21
Confidential
the Indemnitor is prejudiced by such failure to provide prompt notice. The Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in, and to the extent the Indemnitor so desires to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitee, shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnitee, if representation of the Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceedings. The Indemnitor may not settle or otherwise consent to an adverse judgment in any such claim, demand, action or other proceeding, that diminishes the rights or interests of the Indemnitee without the prior express written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, unless (a) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnitee and (b) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnitor.

10. GENERAL PROVISIONS
10.1 Governing Law. This License Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of any state other than the State of California.
10.2 Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim initiated by either Party arising out of, resulting from or relating to this License Agreement, or the performance by either Party of any obligation under this License Agreement, whether before or after termination of this License Agreement, shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration. Whenever a Party shall decide to institute arbitration proceedings, it shall give written notice to that effect to the other Party. Any such arbitration shall be conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association by a panel of three arbitrators appointed in accordance with such rules. Any such arbitration shall be held in San Diego, California. The method and manner of discovery in any such arbitration proceeding shall be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Each Party shall choose one (1) arbitrator within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of the intent to arbitrate. Such arbitrators shall thereafter choose a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their appointment. If one or both of the Parties fails to make a timely appointment of its arbitrator, then such missing arbitrator(s) will be appointed by the American
23
Confidential
Arbitration Association. The arbitrators shall have the authority to grant specific performance and to allocate between the Parties the costs of arbitration in such equitable manner as they determine. The arbitrators shall make their award and decision by majority approval, which shall be made in accordance with the terms of this License Agreement and applicable law. Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. In no event shall a demand for arbitration be made after the date when institution of a legal or equitable proceeding based upon such claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) either Party shall have the right, without waiving any right or remedy available to such Party under this License Agreement or otherwise, to seek and obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief that is necessary or desirable to protect the rights or property of such Party, pending the selection of the arbitrators hereunder or pending the arbitrators’ determination of any dispute, controversy or claim hereunder, and (ii) any and all issues regarding the scope, construction, validity, and enforceability of one or more patents shall be determined in a court of competent jurisdiction under the local patent laws of the jurisdictions having issued the patent or patents in question. Each of the Parties agrees that if certain material obligations under this License Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, (a) severe and irreparable damage may occur, (b) no adequate remedy at law would exist and (c) damages would be difficult to determine. Each of the Parties agrees that, in such case, the injured Party or Parties shall be authorized and entitled to seek to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief, whether preliminary or permanent, as well as any other relief permitted by applicable law, and the breaching Party shall waive any requirement that such Party or Parties post bond as a condition for obtaining any such relief. All proceedings and decisions of the arbitrator(s) shall be deemed Confidential Information of each of the Parties, and shall be subject to Section 7.
10.3 Modification; Waiver. This License Agreement may not be altered, amended, supplemented, or modified in any way except by a writing signed by each Party. No waiver by a Party of any breach or default of any of the covenants or agreements herein set forth shall be deemed a waiver as to any subsequent and/or similar breach or default. The failure by either Party to take any action or assert any right hereunder shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such right, nor in any way be deemed to affect the validity of this License Agreement or any part hereof, or the right of a Party to thereafter enforce each and every provision of this License Agreement.
10.4 Rights Under U.S. Bankruptcy Code. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this License Agreement by AEGIS are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, licenses to intellectual property as defined under Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code. XXXXX agrees that OPIANT shall retain and may fully exercise its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code.
10.5 Assignment. Neither this License Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder may be assigned or delegated, in whole or part, by either Party without the prior express written consent of the other; provided, however, that (i) OPIANT may, without the written consent of AEGIS, assign this License Agreement and its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of its business related to the Product, or in the event of its merger, consolidation, change in control or similar transaction; (ii) AEGIS may, without the written consent of OPIANT, assign this License Agreement and its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of its business, or in the event of its merger, consolidation or change in control; and (iii) neither Party shall
24
Confidential
unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to any proposed assignment in any situation whereby all of its rights and entitlements are unaffected. Any permitted assignee shall assume all obligations of its assignor under this License Agreement. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 10.5 shall be void. For avoidance of doubt, AEGIS may have the Excipients manufactured by a third party contract manufacturer for the benefit of AEGIS and/or OPIANT, which shall not be deemed to be an assignment or delegation restricted by this Section 10.5; provided, that AEGIS shall remain responsible for all obligations with respect to any Excipients.
10.6 Independent Contractors. The relationship of the Parties is that of independent contractors. The Parties are not deemed to be agents, partners or joint venturers of the others for any purpose as a result of this License Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby.
10.7 Further Actions. Each Party agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver such further documents and instruments and to perform all such other acts as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this License Agreement.
10.8 Notices. Any notice, report, communication, or consent required or permitted by this License Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by a Party (a) by prepaid registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, (b) by overnight express delivery service by a nationally recognized courier, or (c) via confirmed facsimile, followed within five (5) days by a copy mailed in the preceding manner, addressed to the other Party at the address shown below or at such other address as such Party gives notice hereunder.

In the event that any provision of this License Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void, invalid, or unenforceable, and reformation or striking of such provision would materially change the economic benefit of this License Agreement to any Party, the Parties shall modify such
