11.2 Indemnification by XxXxxx.

11.3 Procedure for Indemnification.
11.3.1 Notice. Each Party will promptly notify the other Party in writing if it receives a Claim by any Third Party (a “Third Party Claim”) for which indemnification may be sought by that Party and will give such information with respect thereto as the other Party shall reasonably request. If any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) is instituted involving any Party for which such Party may seek an indemnity under Section 11.1 or 11.2, as the case may be (the “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing and, to the extent consistent with Applicable Laws, the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall meet to discuss how to respond to any Third Party Claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
11.3.2 Defense of Claim. The Indemnifying Party may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, elect to control the defense of a Third Party Claim; provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party gives notice to the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the written notice from the Indemnified Party of the indemnifiable Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for satisfying and discharging any award made to the Third Party as a result of such proceedings or settlement amount agreed with the Third Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, (iii) the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate that it has adequate insurance or other financial means to satisfy the Third Party Claim and (iv) only monetary damages, and not, injunctive relief, are sought by such Third Party Claim (collectively, the “Litigation Condition”). Subject to compliance with the Litigation Condition, the Indemnifying Party shall retain counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, refused, conditioned or delayed) to represent the Indemnified Party and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but, to the extent the Litigation Condition is satisfied, the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, and otherwise such fees and expenses shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall, if requested by the Indemnifying Party, cooperate in all reasonable respects in the defense of such claim that is being managed and/or controlled by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, refused, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in which the Indemnified Party is, or based on the same set of facts could have been, a party and
27
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by the Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and does not include any injunctive relief against the Indemnified Party. If the Litigation Condition is not met, then neither Party shall have the right to control the defense of such Third Party Claim and the Parties shall reasonably cooperate in and be consulted on the material aspects of such defense at the Indemnifying Party’s expense.
11.4 Assumption of Defense. An Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim with respect to the Indemnified Party, upon written notice to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 11.4, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of liability under Section 11.1 or 11.2, as applicable, solely for such Third Party Claim and related Losses.
11.5.1 During the Term and for a period of [**] after the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Cephalon shall obtain and/or maintain at its sole cost and expense, liability insurance (including product liability insurance, workers compensation, general liability, automobile liability, and advertising liability insurance), which may be through self-insured arrangements, in amounts which are reasonable and customary in the U.S. pharmaceutical industry for companies of comparable size and activities at the respective place of business of Cephalon. Such liability insurance or self-insured arrangements shall insure against bodily injury, physical injury or property damage arising out of the manufacture, sale, storage, promotion, distribution, or marketing of the Product. Cephalon shall provide written proof of the existence of such insurance to XxXxxx upon request.
11.5.2 During the Term, XxXxxx will obtain and maintain workers compensation, general liability, automobile liability, and advertising liability insurance (including any self-insured arrangements) in amounts which are reasonable and customary in the U.S. pharmaceutical industry for companies of comparable size and activities at the respective place of business of XxXxxx.
11.6 Waivers. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR MULTIPLIED DAMAGES FROM THE OTHER PARTY. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ANY CLAIM OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FROM THE OTHER PARTY. THE FOREGOING SENTENCE SHALL NOT LIMIT THE OBLIGATIONS OF EITHER PARTY TO INDEMNIFY THE OTHER PARTY FROM AND AGAINST THIRD PARTY CLAIMS UNDER THIS ARTICLE 11.
ARTICLE 12

12.2 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 breached or defaulted in the performance of any of its material obligations. The Breaching Party shall, if such breach can be cured, have sixty (60) days after written notice thereof was provided to the Breaching Party by the non-breaching Party to remedy such default (or, if such default cannot be cured within such 60-day period, the Breaching Party must commence and diligently continue actions to cure such default during such 60-day period). Any such termination shall become effective at the end of such 60-day period unless the Breaching Party has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of such 60-day period (or, if such default is capable of being cured but cannot be cured within such 60-day period, the Breaching Party has commenced and diligently continued actions to cure such default provided always that, in such instance, such cure must have occurred within one hundred twenty (120) days after written notice thereof was provided to the Breaching Party by the non-breaching Party to remedy such default). Notwithstanding the foregoing, breaches related to the failure to timely pay amounts due hereunder, must be cured by the Breaching Party within ten (10) days after written notice thereof was provided to the Breaching Party by the non-breaching Party to remedy such default, and if such default is not timely remedied, the Breaching Party may at any time thereafter while such default remains, at its election, terminate this Agreement.
12.3 Termination for Bankruptcy. Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement effective upon written notice to the other Party in the event the non-notifying party becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or in the event bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings are instituted against the non-notifying party or on the non-notifying party’s behalf.
12.4 XxXxxx Termination for Other Reason. XxXxxx shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Cephalon in the event that the FDA determines that the Product is unreasonably unsafe, dangerous, or ineffective or the Product is withdrawn from the market in the Territory.

13.1 Relationship of the Parties. Each Party shall bear its own costs incurred in the performance of its obligations hereunder without charge or expense to the other except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

For all purposes, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, XxXxxx’x legal relationship under this Agreement to Cephalon shall be that of independent contractor. This Agreement is not a partnership agreement and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to establish a relationship of co-partners or joint venturers between the Parties.

Should both Parties jointly agree that either Party is required to submit or obtain any such filing, registration or notification, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with one another, and all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with such filing, registration or notification shall be borne by the Party making such filing, registration or notification. In such filing, registration or notification, the Parties shall request confidential treatment of sensitive provisions of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by Law.

The occurrence of an event which materially interferes with the ability of a Party to perform its obligations or duties hereunder (other than the obligation to pay money to the other Party hereunder) which is not within the reasonable control of the Party affected or any of its Affiliates, not due to malfeasance by such Party or its Affiliates, and which could not with the exercise of due diligence have been avoided (each, a “Force Majeure Event”),
30
including, but not limited to, an injunction, order or action by a Governmental Authority, fire, accident, labor difficulty, strike, riot, civil commotion, act of God, inability to obtain raw materials, delay or errors by shipping companies or change in law, shall not excuse such Party from the performance of its obligations or duties under this Agreement, but shall merely suspend such performance during the continuation of the Force Majeure Event. The Party prevented from performing its obligations or duties because of a Force Majeure Event shall promptly notify the other Party of the occurrence and particulars of such Force Majeure Event and shall provide the other Party, from time to time, with its best estimate of the duration of such Force Majeure Event and with notice of the termination thereof. The Party so affected shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance as soon as is reasonably practicable. Upon termination of the Force Majeure Event, the performance of any suspended obligation or duty shall promptly recommence. The Party subject to the Force Majeure Event shall not be liable to the other Party for any direct, indirect, consequential, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary or other damages arising out of or relating to the suspension or termination of any of its obligations or duties under this Agreement by reason of the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, provided such Party complies in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 13.3.

In the event the aggregate damages sought by the claimant are stated to be less than $5 million, and the aggregate damages sought by the counterclaimant are stated to be less than $5 million, and neither side seeks equitable relief, then a single arbitrator shall be chosen, having the same qualifications and experience specified above. Each arbitrator shall be impartial and independent of the parties and shall abide by the Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes (available at xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/XxxxxxXxxXxxxxxxxx).
13.5.3 The parties agree to cooperate (a) to attempt to select the arbitrator(s) by agreement within 45 days of initiation of the arbitration, including jointly interviewing the final
31
candidates, (b) to meet with the arbitrator(s) within forty-five (45) days of selection and (c) to agree at that meeting or before upon procedures for discovery and as to the conduct of the hearing which will result in the hearing being concluded within no more than nine (9) months after selection of the arbitrator(s) and in the award being rendered within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of the hearings, or of any post-hearing briefing, which briefing will be completed by both sides within forty-five (45) days after the conclusion of the hearings.
13.5.4 In the event the parties cannot agree upon selection of the arbitrator(s), the CPR will select arbitrator(s) as follows: CPR shall provide the parties with a list of no less than twenty-five (25) proposed arbitrators (fifteen (15) if a single arbitrator is to be selected) having the credentials referenced above. Within twenty-five (25) days of receiving such list, the parties shall rank at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the proposed arbitrators on the initial CPR list, after exercising cause challenges. The parties may then interview the five candidates (three if a single arbitrator is to be selected) with the highest combined rankings for no more than one hour each and, following the interviews, may exercise one peremptory challenge each. The panel will consist of the remaining three candidates (or one, if one arbitrator is to be selected) with the highest combined rankings. In the event these procedures fail to result in selection of the required number of arbitrators, CPR shall select the appropriate number of arbitrators from among the members of the various CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals, allowing each side challenges for cause and three peremptory challenges each.
13.5.5 In the event the parties cannot agree upon procedures for discovery and conduct of the hearing meeting the schedule set forth in Section 13.5.3, then the arbitrator(s) shall set dates for the hearing, any post-hearing briefing, and the issuance of the award in accord with the Section 13.5.3 schedule. The arbitrator(s) shall provide for discovery according to those time limits, giving recognition to the understanding of the parties that they contemplate reasonable discovery, including document demands and depositions, but that such discovery be limited so that the Section 13.5.3 schedule may be met without difficulty. In no event will the arbitrator(s), absent agreement of the parties, allow more than a total of ten days for the hearing or permit either side to obtain more than a total of forty (40) hours of deposition testimony from all witnesses, including both fact and expert witnesses, or serve more than twenty (20) individual requests for documents, including subparts, or twenty (20) individual requests for admission or interrogatories, including subparts. Multiple hearing days will be scheduled consecutively to the greatest extent possible.
13.5.6 The arbitrator(s) must render their award by application of the substantive law of Delaware and are not free to apply “amiable compositeur” or “natural justice and equity.” The arbitrator(s) shall render a written opinion setting forth findings of fact and conclusions of law with the reasons therefore stated. A transcript of the evidence adduced at the hearing shall be made and shall, upon request, be made available to either party. The arbitrator(s) shall have power to exclude evidence on grounds of hearsay, prejudice beyond its probative value, redundancy, or irrelevance and no award shall be overturned by reason of such ruling on evidence. To the extent possible, the arbitration hearings and award will be maintained in confidence.
13.5.7 In the event the panel’s award exceeds $5 million in monetary damages or includes or consists of equitable relief, or rejects a claim in excess of that amount or for that
32
relief, then the losing party may obtain review of the arbitrators’ award or decision by a single appellate arbitrator (the “Appeal Arbitrator”) selected from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals by agreement or, failing agreement within seven (7) working days, pursuant to the selection procedures specified in Section 13.5.4. If CPR cannot provide such services, the parties will together select another provider of arbitration services that can. No Appeal Arbitrator shall be selected unless he or she can commit to rendering a decision within forty-five days following oral argument as provided in Section 13.5.8. Any such review must be initiated within thirty (30) days following the rendering of the award referenced in Section 13.5.6.
13.5.8 The Appeal Arbitrator will make the same review of the arbitration panel’s ruling and its bases that the U.S. Court of Appeals of the Circuit where the arbitration hearings are held would make of findings of fact and conclusions of law rendered by a district court after a bench trial and then modify, vacate or affirm the arbitration panel’s award or decision accordingly, or remand to the panel for further proceedings. The Appeal Arbitrator will consider only the arbitration panel’s findings of fact and conclusions of law, pertinent portions of the hearing transcript and evidentiary record as submitted by the parties, opening and reply briefs of the party pursuing the review, and the answering brief of the opposing party, plus a total of no more than four (4) hours of oral argument evenly divided between the parties. The party seeking review must submit its opening brief and any reply brief within seventy-five (75) and one hundred thirty (130) days, respectively, following the date of the award under review, whereas the opposing party must submit its responsive brief within one hundred ten (110) days of that date. Oral argument shall take place within five (5) months after the date of the award under review, and the Appeal Arbitrator shall render a decision within forty-five (45) days following oral argument. That decision will be final and not subject to further review, except pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act.
13.5.9 The parties consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district in which the arbitration is held for the enforcement of these provisions and the entry of judgment on any award rendered hereunder (including after review by the Appeal Arbitrator where such an appeal is pursued). Should such court for any reason lack jurisdiction, any court with jurisdiction shall act in the same fashion.
13.5.10 Each party has the right before or, if the arbitrator(s) cannot hear the matter within an acceptable period, during the arbitration to seek and obtain from the appropriate court provisional remedies such as attachment, preliminary injunction, replevin, etc. to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo, or preserve the subject matter of the arbitration.
13.5.11 EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL OF ANY ISSUE BY JURY.
13.5.12 EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ANY CLAIM FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS AND PREJUDGMENT INTEREST FROM THE OTHER.
