Par shall be responsible, in its good-faith discretion, for determining whether or not such circumstances necessitate a recall of the Generic Product and shall carry out any recall activities that it deems appropriate with respect thereto; provided, that, if Par determines not to undertake a recall and Xxxxxxx reasonably believes that a recall is required under applicable law, then Xxxxxxx may undertake and carry out such recall. Par and Xxxxxxx shall reasonably cooperate with each other in carrying out any such recall or seizure. The applicable ANDA Holder will be responsible for assuring that any such recall is closed-out with the FDA, unless the FDA shall otherwise require.
5.3 Facility Maintenance; Inspection; Reports.

Par shall (and shall obtain the agreement of any third-party manufacturer and/or packager, if applicable, to) permit quality assurance representatives of Xxxxxxx reasonably acceptable to Par to inspect such facilities not more than once per calendar year upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours and on a confidential basis. Xxxxxxx shall cause its quality assurance representatives to provide Par with a written report of the results of any such inspection simultaneously with the provision of such report to Xxxxxxx. If such inspecting party finds any non-compliance during any such inspection with respect to the Generic Product, Par shall (and shall obtain the agreement of any third-party manufacturer and/or packager, if applicable, to) diligently rectify such non-compliance and implement appropriate procedures with a view to avoiding repetition of such non-compliance; provided, that, if Par disagrees with the conclusions of such inspecting party, it shall so notify Xxxxxxx in writing, and the parties shall cooperate in good faith to resolve such dispute and, in the event that the parties shall be unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of Par’s notice pursuant to this Section 5.3 or such other time period mutually agreeable to the parties, the parties shall submit such dispute to a mutually satisfactory, non-Affiliated third-party consultant. The determination of such consultant shall be final and binding on the parties, and the costs therefor shall be borne by the parties in proportion to the percentage of fault attributed to each party by such consultant.
(b) If Par or any third-party manufacturer and/or packager of the Generic Product receives an FDA Form 483 (“Notice of Observations”) evidencing any non-compliance with respect to the Generic Product, Par shall (and shall obtain the agreement of any third-party manufacturer and/or packager, if applicable, to) diligently rectify such non-compliance and implement appropriate procedures with a view to avoiding repetition of such non-compliance. Par shall provide Xxxxxxx with a copy of any FDA Form 483 (which may be redacted with respect to information unrelated to the Generic Product and as otherwise necessary to preserve the confidentiality of sensitive information) received at the conclusion of an FDA inspection relating to the Generic Product.
(c) If, for supply reasons or compliance reasons, Par subcontract to a third party the manufacturing, packaging and/or labeling of the Generic Product, such subcontracting shall be
8 |
in Par’s discretion and at Par’s expense, and the applicable ANDA Holder shall, at its own expense, file a supplement to the ANDA, based upon the information provided by Par, to obtain all FDA and other regulatory approval necessary for the manufacturing, packaging and/or labeling of the Generic Product by such subcontractor.
5.4 Filing Requirements and Maintenance. The ANDA Holder shall promptly comply with all FDA requirements with respect to the Generic Product, including all filing and reporting requirements necessary to keep such ANDA current with the FDA and all payment obligations with respect to required fees and costs associated with such ANDA and any other regulatory approvals; provided, that Par shall be responsible for (a) drug listings, formulary submissions and Par’s NDC number and (b) such compliance with other FDA, DEA and all other regulations applicable only to a distributor of the Generic Product as can be achieved by Par, given regulatory requirements. As reasonably requested by Xxxxxxx, if Xxxxxxx is the ANDA Holder, Par shall supply to Xxxxxxx samples of finished labeled units of the Generic Product and otherwise reasonably assist Xxxxxxx with such filing and reporting requirements. Par shall be responsible for all stability studies that may be required for ongoing marketing and sale of the Generic Product and shall conduct such stability studies in compliance with the ANDAs.
5.5 Insurance. Each of Xxxxxxx and Par shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates, as required, to), promptly after the Effective Date and extending through the remaining term of this Agreement and for a period of not less than 36 months following the termination or expiration of this Agreement, carry or be subject to coverage under (as a named insured), product liability insurance in an amount of not less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) combined single limit, which insurance will be written on a "claims-made” policy basis with an insurance carrier rated at least ‘A’ by Bests Rating Service or a comparable rating by a comparable rating service. Each party shall provide the other party with evidence of coverage contemplated hereby, in the form of certificates of insurance, as reasonably requested.
5.6 Audit Right. Par shall maintain true and complete books of account containing an accurate record of all data necessary for proper assessment of the Net Profit Split (including Cost of Goods, Net Sales and Net Profit). Xxxxxxx shall have the right, through an independent certified public accountant, to examine Par’s books of account related to such matters during regular business hours, on reasonable prior notice (but not more than once in any calendar year), within three (3) years after the end of the calendar year in which Xxxxxxx’x share of the Net Profit Split was paid by Par for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of such matters. The parties agree that information furnished to Xxxxxxx as a result of any such examination shall be limited to a written statement by such certified public accountant to the effect that it has reviewed the books of account of Par and either (i) Par’s calculations are correct or (ii) setting forth any required adjustments thereto; and Xxxxxxx shall ensure that any such written statement is provided concurrently to Par. If any such audit shows any underpayment or overpayment by Par, a correcting payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after receipt of the written statement described above. The costs and expenses of such audit shall be borne by Xxxxxxx; provided, however, if such audit shows an underpayment by Par exceeding $10,000 in any calendar year, Par shall reimburse Xxxxxxx for its reasonable third-party costs of such audit.
5.7 Publicity. Neither party shall issue or release any media release or public announcement (including, without limitation, any announcements made via any posting on the
9 |
World Wide Web or Internet) or other similar publicity in any country announcing the existence of this Agreement or any term or condition of this Agreement or the relationships created by this Agreement without prior written consent of the other party and the prior agreement of the other party on the relevant wording relating to the Agreement or term or condition of the Agreement. The parties shall not issue or release any joint statement utilizing Xxxxxxx’x or its Affiliate’s or Par’s or its Affiliate’s corporate identifiers, including, without limitation, any public announcement or advertisement, without the prior written approval of Xxxxxxx or Par, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall have the right to issue media releases, immediately and without prior consent of the other party, that disclose any information required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any securities exchange on which a party’s or its Affiliate’s capital stock may be traded, or any federal, state or foreign law or regulation; provided, that the disclosing party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) notify the other party prior to such disclosure, (b) provide the other party with a copy of the relevant wording relating to the Agreement or term or condition of the Agreement, and (c) seek confidential treatment of any information that the other party reasonably requests to be maintained as confidential.

6.6 Indemnification Procedures. With respect to indemnification for a third-party action, claim or liability under this Article 6, a party that intends to claim indemnification hereunder (the “indemnitee”) shall notify the other party (the “indemnitor”) promptly in writing of such third-party action, claim or liability in respect of which the indemnitee believes it is entitled to claim indemnification; provided, that the failure to give timely notice to the indemnitor shall not release the indemnitor from any liability to the indemnitee except to the extent the indemnitor is materially prejudiced thereby. The indemnitor shall have the right, by written notice to the indemnitee, to assume the defense of any such action or claim, within the fifteen (15)-day period after the indemnitor’s receipt of written notice of any action or claim, with counsel of the indemnitor’s choice and at the sole cost of the indemnitor. If the indemnitor so assumes such defense, the indemnitee may participate therein through counsel of its choice, but at the sole cost of the indemnitee. If the indemnitor fails to assume such defense and/or to diligently prosecute the same, the indemnitee may assume such defense at the indemnitor’s sole expense. The party not assuming the defense of any such claim shall render all reasonable assistance to the party assuming such defense, and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such assistance shall be for the account of the indemnitor. No such claim shall be settled other than by the party defending the same, and then only with the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the indemnitee shall have (a) no obligation to consent to any settlement of any such action or claim that (i) imposes on the indemnitee any monetary or other liability or obligation that cannot be assumed and performed in full by the indemnitor or (ii) adversely affects the indemnitee’s rights hereunder or damages its reputation or business, and (b) no right to withhold its consent to any settlement of any such action or claim if the settlement involves only the payment of money by the indemnitor or its insurer and the indemnitor or its insurer agrees in writing to make such payment. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFICATION FOR THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM PAR’S COMMERCIAL LAUNCH OF THE GENERIC PRODUCT WITHOUT XXXXXXX’X CONSENT, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOSS OF INCOME, LOSS OF
12 |
PROFITS, COSTS OF SUBSTITUTION, COSTS OF COVER OR INCREASED CAPITAL COSTS, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OR NATURE OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, EQUITY, INDEMNITY, NEGLIGENCE, INTENTIONAL CONDUCT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE OR IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
7. TERM AND TERMINATION.
7.1 Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue, unless otherwise earlier terminated in accordance herewith, for a period that shall extend ten (10) years from the date of the First Commercial Sale of the Generic Product (the “Initial Term”). Thereafter, this Agreement shall be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods (each, a “Renewal Term” and collectively with the Initial Term, the “Term”), unless a party shall otherwise notify the other in writing at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term.
7.2 Termination for Breach. (a) If either party commits a breach or default in the performance or observance of any of its material obligations under this Agreement, and such breach or default continues for a period of sixty (60) days after delivery by the other party of written notice reasonably detailing such nonperformance, then the non-breaching or non-defaulting party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, with immediate effect, by giving written notice to the breaching or defaulting party. If the nonperforming party disputes the asserted nonperformance in writing within thirty (30) days after notice of nonperformance, the matter shall be referred to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 10.1 hereof.
(b) Either party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice if the other party is legally prohibited from performing its obligations hereunder or becomes (or its Affiliate becomes) an Ineligible Person in respect of the Generic Product.
7.3 Termination for Bankruptcy. This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon (i) either party’s initiation of any proceeding in bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement for the appointment of a receiver or trustee to take possession of its assets or similar proceeding under the law for release of creditors, (ii) either party’s making a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (iii) a third party’s initiation of any proceeding in bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement for the appointment of a receiver or trustee to take possession of the assets of a party hereto or similar proceeding under the law for release of creditors by or against a party hereto, and such proceeding continues unstayed for more than sixty (60) days.
7.4 Termination for Change in Circumstances.

13 |
materials ordered prior to such termination for the manufacture of the Generic Product. If this Agreement expires at the end of the Term pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, Par shall have the right to sell its existing inventory of Generic Product.
(b) The termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect any payment or other obligations or liabilities that have accrued prior to the date of such termination or expiration, and the parties shall retain all rights and remedies (at law or in equity) in respect of any breach thereof. In the event that Par disposes of existing inventory of Generic Product pursuant to Section 7.5(a) after termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4, such termination shall not relieve Par of its obligation under Section 4.3 to pay Xxxxxxx’x share of the Net Profit Split with respect to sales in the Territory of the Generic Product hereunder after the date of termination.
8. CONFIDENTIALITY.
8.1 Treatment of Confidential Information. Except as required by applicable laws and regulations (including rules or regulations of any exchange upon which a party’s capital stock may be traded) or as otherwise provided in this Article 8, during the Term, and for three (3) years thereafter, each party shall hold in confidence, and may not use for purposes other than those contemplated by this Agreement or disclose to a third party (except as specifically set forth herein or with the express prior written consent of the other party) any and all Confidential Information.
8.2 Limits on Disclosure. (a) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party may disclose Confidential Information to those employees or agents who need to receive the Confidential Information in order to further the activities contemplated by this Agreement. Each party shall take reasonable precautions to safeguard the Confidential Information, including obtaining appropriate commitments and enforceable confidentiality agreements. Each party understands and agrees that the wrongful disclosure of Confidential Information may result in serious and irreparable damage to the other party, that the remedy at law for any breach of this covenant may be inadequate, and that the party seeking redress hereunder shall be entitled to injunctive relief, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies to which such party may be entitled.
(b) It is acknowledged that Confidential Information may be obtained by a party from the other party not only in writing or other tangible form (including electronic), but also through discussions between each party’s respective representatives, demonstrations, observations and other intangible methods. Any verbal disclosure of Confidential Information by a party shall be reduced to writing and provided to the other party within forty-five (45) days.

9. FORCE MAJEURE.
9.1 Effects of Force Majeure. No party hereto shall be held liable or responsible for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any of its obligations under this Agreement (other than the payment of money) if such failure or delay is caused by, without limitation, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, fire, explosion, flood, drought, war, terrorists, riot, sabotage, embargo, strikes or other labor disputes, intervention of governmental agency (subject to Section 7.2(b)), or by any other event or circumstance of like or different character to the foregoing beyond the reasonable control and without the fault or negligence of the affected party (a “Force Majeure Event”). Such excuse shall continue as long as the Force Majeure Event continues. Upon cessation of such Force Majeure Event, such party shall promptly resume performance hereunder.
9.2 Notice of Force Majeure. Each party agrees to give the other party prompt written notice of the occurrence of any Force Majeure Event, the nature thereof and the extent to which the affected party will be unable to perform its obligations hereunder. Each party further agrees to use reasonable efforts to correct or otherwise address the Force Majeure Event as soon as practicable and to give the other parties prompt written notice when it is again fully able to perform such obligations.
