THE SYMBOL "****" DENOTES PLACES WHERE PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT. SUCH MATERIAL HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

EXCLUSIVE LICENSE AGREEMENT

THIS EXCLUSIVE LICENSE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of November 18, 2009 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Egalet a/s, a Danish corporation also registered under the name BM Research a/s (“Egalet”), and RedHill Biopharma Ltd., an Israeli company (“RedHill”). Egalet and RedHill each may be referred to herein individually as a “Party,” or collectively as the “Parties”.

WHEREAS, Egalet is the sole and exclusive owner of certain patents and other intellectual property rights relating to a certain Product (as such term is defined herein);

WHEREAS, Egalet wishes to license to RedHill all Egalet's rights in and to the Product, including all patent rights and other intellectual property rights relating thereto, and RedHill wishes to receive such license from Egalet, so that RedHill may develop and commercialize Products for all indications and for all uses, all on the terms set forth below; and,

WHEREAS, the license to be granted shall be granted on an exclusive and global basis in so far as the rights and positions licensed relate solely to the Product, whereas rights and positions, which may also be commercialized or exploited for purposes unrelated to the Product, shall be granted on a non-exclusive basis, all as more fully set out below.

NOW THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

DEFINITIONS

1.1 “Affiliate” of a Party means any other entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such first Party. For purposes of this definition only, “control” and, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with” will mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct the management or policies of an entity, whether through the ownership of fifty percent or more of the voting securities of the other organization or entity or by contract relating to voting rights or corporate governance.

1.2 “Combination Product” shall mean a product which comprises (a) a Product and (b) at least one other active ingredient or medical device, which, if administered or used independently of the Product, would have a clinical, diagnostic or therapeutic effect and be capable of being priced and marketed separately.

1.3 “Competing Product” shall mean (i) a product for the treatment/prevention of heart failure and/or hypertension, including, without limitation, any product belonging to ATC Class C07AG and (ii) a product for the treatment/prevention of any other cardiovascular indication for which RedHill intends in good faith to market the Product provided that Egalet's obligations regarding such additional indications shall only be with respect to the grant of rights made following RedHill's notice of its intention to commercialize the Product for such additional indication.

1.4 "Field of Use" means all indications, and includes therapeutic, diagnostic and other human and/or animal uses.

1.5 “First Commercial Sale” shall mean the first commercial sale of a Product, in exchange for cash or some equivalent to which value can be assigned, after regulatory approval has been granted by a Regulatory Authority, other than the use of the Product for testing purposes and/or a sale for experimental, promotional, compassionate named patient or test market purposes. For the avoidance of any doubt, First Commercial Sale can only occur once worldwide, regardless of the jurisdiction in which it took place.

1.6 “Licensed Know-How” means all information (other than that contained in the Patents) whether patentable or not and physical objects related to the Product, including but not limited to Product data, Product related results and information, including, but not limited to, clinical data, analytical test results, non-clinical pharmacology and safety data, other R&D data, Regulatory Documentation, manufacturing and formulation information of a like nature, known to, generated by, vested in (or licensed to) and/or controlled by Egalet. Egalet represents and warrants that the entire Licensed Know How is listed in Annex B of this Agreement.

1.7 “Net Sales” means the gross invoice price charged by RedHill or its Affiliates in respect of the sale of a Product by RedHill or its Affiliates, less the following items (collectively, the "Recognized Deductions"):

(i)

allowances or credits granted to and taken by customers (including wholesalers) for rejections, returns (including as a result of recalls), retroactive price reductions and prompt payment, and trade, cash and volume discounts;

(ii)

amounts incurred resulting from government mandated rebate programs (or any agency thereof);

(iii)

freight, transport, packing and insurance charges;

(iv)

taxes, including value added tax, tariffs or import/export or customs, duties;

(v)

rebates, charge backs and discounts paid or credited,

(vi)

bad debts;

(vii)

reasonable quantities of samples;

(viii)

liability insurance; and

(ix)

royalties paid to third parties in respect of the use of such third party’s intellectual property rights for the purpose of generating the Net Sales without infringing such third party intellectual property right positions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purposes of this definition, the transfer of a Product by RedHill or one of its Affiliates to another Affiliate of RedHill or to a sublicensee is not a sale and in such cases, Net Sales will be determined based on the amount received by RedHill or such Affiliate in respect of the Product as sold by the Affiliate or sublicensee to independent third-parties, less the Recognized Deductions. For Net Sales of a Product sold or supplied as a “Combination Product”, the Net Sales of such a Combination Product in a country will be determined by multiplying the Net Sales of such Combination Product by the fraction of A/A+B, where A is the average unit selling price during the period in respect of which Net Sales are being calculated of the Product sold separately in that country and B is the total average unit selling price during the period in respect of which Net Sales are being calculated of the other product or device included in the Combination Product, when sold separately in that country. If neither the Product nor the other product or device included in the Combination Product are sold separately during the period in respect of which Net Sales are being calculated, then the Parties shall, considering the costs incurred by RedHill bringing about the Combination Product, in good faith negotiate the value of the other product or device included in the Combination Product that are to be deducted from the Net Sales of the Combination Product in determining the Net Sales of the Product contained in the Combination Product, it being agreed that absent such mutual agreement as to the proportion of such Combination Product to be attributed to the Product, the Parties shall mutually appoint an independent expert to determine such proportion.

1.8 “Patents” shall mean the patents listed in Annex A to this Agreement, as well as such other Product-related (a) U.S. patents and patent applications, (b) any substitutions, divisions, continuations, continuations-in-part (but only to the extent that they cover the same invention claimed in the foregoing), reissues, renewals, registrations, confirmations, re-examinations, extensions, supplementary protection certificates and the like, and any provisional applications, of any such patents or patent applications, and (c) any foreign or international equivalent of any of the foregoing, of which Egalet during the term of this Agreement becomes owner or controller.

1.9 “Product” shall mean Egalet Carvedilol - a controlled release pharmaceutical formulation based on a polymeric matrix composition formulated under one or more of the Patents and comprising Carvedilol as an active substance.

1.10 “Regulatory Approval” means approval by the US FDA of an NDA (New Drug Application), or the equivalent application for marketing approval, and satisfaction of any related applicable FDA registration and notification requirements (if any).

1.11 “Regulatory Authority” means any applicable government entity regulating or otherwise exercising authority with respect to the development and commercialization of a Product.

1.12 “Regulatory Documentation” means all applications, registrations, licenses, authorizations and approvals (including all Regulatory Approvals), all correspondence submitted to or received from Regulatory Authorities (including minutes and official contact reports relating to any communications with any Regulatory Authority), all supporting documents and all clinical studies and tests, including the manufacturing batch records for Products to be assigned, relating to a Product, and all data contained in any of the foregoing, including all regulatory drug lists, advertising and promotion documents, adverse event files and complaint files.

1.13 “Royalty Term” shall mean the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on the earlier of (i) expiration of the Patents for which exclusivity is granted, i.e. the Patents covering the core technology of the Product, and (ii) twelve (12) years after the First Commercial Sale.

1.14 “Sublicense” means a sublicense from RedHill to a third party under the License granted pursuant to this Agreement and the term “Sublicensee” shall be construed accordingly. Any Sublicense may include the right to grant further Sublicenses.

1.15 “Sublicensee Sales Royalties” means payments, whether comprising royalties and/or other payments, actually received by RedHill from third party distributors and/or Sublicensees in respect of sales of the Product effected by such distributors and/or Sublicensees (and/or any further Sublicensees thereof), less deduction of (i) debt financing; (ii) equity (and conditional equity, such as warrants, convertible debt and the like) investments in RedHill or any Affiliate thereof at market value; (iii) payments received in reimbursement of patent prosecution costs incurred or which shall be incurred by RedHill; (iv) payments received in reimbursement of the cost of research and/or development activities or services performed or to be performed by RedHill or expended or to be expended by RedHill, and (v) payments received in reimbursement for marketing expenses which have been or shall be expended by RedHill with respect to the Product).

LICENSE GRANT

2.1

Scope of License. Egalet hereby grants to RedHill a worldwide, perpetual license, under its rights in and to the Patents and the Licensed Know-How to develop, manufacture, commercialize, make, use, sell, offer for sale and import Products, in the Field of Use (the “License”).

2.2

Scope of Exclusivity. The License shall, with respect to the Patents listed in Schedules IP-P06 and IP-P08 in Annex A, be exclusive (even as to Egalet), whereas the License, with respect to the Patents listed in Schedules IP-P03, IP-P05 and IP-P09 in Annex A, shall be non-exclusive. The License shall be non-exclusive with respect to any intellectual property included in the Licensed Know-How listed on Annex B that may be used by Egalet in respect of products other than the Product; provided, however, that Egalet shall not be permitted to make any use or grant any rights to such Licensed Know-How and/or the Patents listed in Schedules IP-P03, IP-P05 and IP-P09 in Annex A (i) in respect of the Product whatsoever, or (ii) in respect of any Competing Product or potentially Competing Product.

2.3

Sublicenses. The License granted to RedHill is Sublicensable (and further Sublicensable) in whole or in part, to third parties (including RedHill’s Affiliates).

For the avoidance of doubt, RedHill shall be entitled to conduct or to perform any activity in respect of the Products by means of any third party sub-contractor, and such conduct shall not be considered to be a grant of a Sublicense hereunder.

2.4

Registration. Egalet agrees that RedHill shall have the right, at its own account, to register as the licensee of the rights in and to the Patents and the Licensed Know-How as per Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above, and Egalet shall, within the scope of the License, execute all documentation reasonably requested by RedHill and otherwise cooperate with RedHill in order to ensure such registration where required or reasonably deemed relevant by RedHill to commercialize the Product.

2.5

Limitations on Other Licenses. Without derogating from any other obligation of Egalet under this Agreement, during the term of this Agreement, Egalet shall not, without RedHill’s prior written consent, grant any rights or licenses to Patents or Licensed Know-How, or transfer any data or know-how to any third party, or otherwise assist any third party in any manner that would conflict with Egalet’s obligations under this Agreement.

DATA AND PRODUCT TRANSFER

Within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, Egalet will (i) transfer to RedHill all relevant know how and copies of external service and other contracts relating to the manufacturing of Product vesting in Egalet, all to the extent relevant for RedHill to exploit the License as envisaged by this Agreement, and (ii) make available to RedHill Ex Works (Incoterms 2000) Værløse, Denmark, any unexpired quantities of Product and unexpired quantities of raw materials for the Product it has on hand, all at no charge whatsoever to RedHill. Egalet will transfer to RedHill all additional Licensed Know How and copies of external service and other contracts relating to the manufacturing of Product vesting in Egalet, promptly following RedHill's request. The information and data detailed in this Section 3 shall be provided in hard and soft copies whichever is available, all of which shall be well organized in accordance with industry standards. In the event Egalet has a specific difficulty in providing both hard and soft copies, it shall discuss with RedHill possible resolutions of such difficulty. From time to time during the period of twelve (12) months following the Effective Date, Egalet will provide RedHill with any additional data, results and information in the possession or under the control of Egalet related to the Product requested by RedHill; provided, however, that in no event shall Egalet be obliged to generate additional materials apart from what it has on file.

DILIGENCE

4.1

General. RedHill will undertake its best efforts to diligently proceed with the development, manufacture and sale of Products.

4.2

Specific. Specifically, RedHill will use its best efforts to secure the appropriate financial resources to prepare, initiate and complete the clinical trials necessary to file an NDA with the United States FDA. RedHill undertakes to use its best efforts to initiate the clinical trials to be planned for the Product no later than 24 months following the Effective Date (the "Diligence Obligation"). In the event that RedHill shall fail to satisfy the Diligence Obligation, Egalet’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return by RedHill of the License rights to Egalet provided that in the event that any such failure is due to (i) any decision of, or delay caused or dictated by, any Regulatory Authority, (ii) any technical problems (including, but not limited to, crystallinity, dissolution and manufacturing problems) and development failure related to the Products, or (iii) any other reasons that are beyond RedHill’s reasonable control or influence (including any actions or defaults by Egalet), same shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of the Diligence Obligation. For purposes of this Agreement, ‘best efforts’ will not be deemed to require a party to undertake extraordinary or unreasonable measures, including the payment of amounts in excess of normal and usual fees and investments made by pharmaceutical companies reasonably comparable to RedHill in terms of size and capital strength for their prioritized products considered having a strategic potential and as being vital to the company.

4.3

No Warranty. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as a warranty by RedHill that any development or any commercialization to be carried out by it in connection with this Agreement will actually achieve its aims or any other results and RedHill makes no warranties whatsoever as to any results to be achieved in consequence of the carrying out of any such development. Furthermore, RedHill makes no representation to the effect that the commercialization of the Products, or any part thereof, will succeed, or that it shall be able to sell the Products in any quantity.

RedHill may deduct from any amounts it is required to pay to Egalet pursuant to this Agreement an amount equal to that withheld for or due on account of any taxes (including VAT to the extent applicable, but other than taxes imposed on or measured by net income of RedHill) or similar governmental charge imposed by any jurisdiction based on such payments to Egalet (“Withholding Taxes”). RedHill will provide Egalet a certificate evidencing payment of any Withholding Taxes hereunder within 30 days of such payment and will reasonably assist Egalet, at Egalet’s expense, to obtain the benefit of any applicable tax treaty.

PATENT INFRINGEMENT

10.3.1 License. In the event that the manufacturing, use or commercialization of the Products or any other action authorized under the License or any part thereof, is such that RedHill determines, after prior consultation with Egalet, that it is commercially reasonable to seek a license to the intellectual property rights of any third party (as reasonably determined by RedHill), RedHill shall be entitled to enter into negotiations with such third party in order to reach an agreement according to which RedHill shall obtain a license or other applicable right or a waiver from such party with respect to such intellectual property rights. In such event RedHill shall be entitled to deduct such payments made from Net Sales and/or Sublicensee Sales Royalties.

10.3.2 Claim - Rights and Procedures. In the event that either Egalet or RedHill, or both of them, are sued by a third party alleging that the commercialization of a Product infringes upon any intellectual property rights of such third party, the Party being so sued shall immediately give the other Party notice of same. In so far the infringement alleged relates to rights licensed to RedHill hereunder on an exclusive basis, RedHill shall have the sole, exclusive and first right, but not the obligation, to defend against such action and to control the defense of such action, on behalf of both Parties, within 60 business days from the date the relevant suit becomes known to RedHill. In so far as the infringement alleged relates to rights licensed to RedHill hereunder on a non-exclusive basis, Egalet shall have the sole, exclusive and first right, but not the obligation, to defend against such action and to control the defense of such action, on behalf of both Parties, within 60 business days from the date the relevant suit becomes known to Egalet. Any expenses or costs incurred by RedHill in connection with such action(s) RedHill shall be entitled to deduct such payments made from Net Sales and/or Sublicensee Sales Royalties, and any costs or amounts awarded to the counterparties in such action(s) shall be fully borne by RedHill and shall be offset from Royalties and Sublicense Royalty Fees or any other amounts of whatsoever nature due to Egalet. Any recovery in such action shall be retained by RedHill in full after reimbursing Egalet for any of its reasonable costs and expenses related to such suit (provided that such claim is not the result of a breach of warranty or representation by Egalet).

10.3.3 In the event that RedHill does not exercise its right to so defend, then Egalet shall be entitled to defend against such claim at its own cost and expense, including any costs or amounts awarded to the counterparties in such action(s), and any recovery in such action shall be retained by Egalet in full. In the event that Egalet does not exercise its right to defend in so far as the infringement alleged relates to rights licensed to RedHill hereunder on a non-exclusive basis, then RedHill shall be entitled to defend against such claim at its own cost and expense, including any costs or amounts awarded to the counterparties in such action(s), and any recovery in such action shall be retained by RedHill in full.

10.3.4 Neither Party shall, without the consent of the other Party, enter into any settlement or compromise or consent to any judgment in respect of any claim related to rights licensed on an exclusive basis to RedHill under this Agreement, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the other Party from all liability arising out of the claim and does not otherwise limit the other Party.

11.

CONFIDENTIALITY

11.1

Disclosure and Use Restriction. The Parties agree that, during the Term of this Agreement and thereafter, each Party will keep completely confidential and will not publish, submit for publication or otherwise disclose, and will not use for any purpose except for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement, any Confidential Information (as such term is defined below) received from the other Party.

11.2

Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” shall mean all information and know-how and any tangible embodiments thereof provided by or on behalf of one Party to the other Party either in connection with the discussions and negotiations pertaining to this Agreement or in the course of performing this Agreement, which may include data; knowledge; practices; processes; ideas; research plans; engineering designs and drawings; research data; manufacturing processes and techniques; scientific, manufacturing, marketing and business plans; and financial and personnel matters relating to the disclosing Party or to its present or future products, sales, suppliers, customers, employees, investors or business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, information or know-how of a Party shall not be deemed Confidential Information of such Party for purposes of this Agreement if such information or know-how:

(a) was already known to the receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality or non-use, at the time of disclosure to such receiving Party;

(b) was generally available or known to parties reasonably skilled in the field to which such information or know-how pertains, or was otherwise part of the public domain, at the time of its disclosure to such receiving Party;

(c) became generally available or known to parties reasonably skilled in the field to which such information or know-how pertains, or otherwise became part of the public domain, after its disclosure to such receiving Party through no fault of the receiving Party;

(d) was disclosed to such receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality or non-use, by a third party who had no obligation to the disclosing Party not to disclose such information or know-how to others; or

(e) was independently discovered or developed by such receiving Party, as evidenced by their written records, without the use of Confidential Information belonging to the disclosing Party and prior to any subsequent disclosure by the receiving Party.

All Licensed Know-How shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of Egalet; provided that RedHill shall be entitled to disclose such information under the same confidentiality undertakings as listed in section 11.2 to third parties that are relevant for the commercialization of the Product and to use any Licensed Know-How in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement.

11.3 Authorized Disclosure. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.1 above, a Party shall be entitled to disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party hereto to the extent that such disclosure is:

(i) made in response to a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that such Party will first (to the extent practicably possible) have given notice to such other Party and given such other Party a reasonable opportunity to quash such order and to obtain a protective order requiring that the Confidential Information and documents that are the subject of such order be held in confidence by such court or agency or, if disclosed, be used only for the purposes for which the order was issued; and provided further that if a disclosure order is not quashed or a protective order is not obtained, the Confidential Information disclosed in response to such court or governmental order will be limited to that information which is legally required to be disclosed in response to such court or governmental order;

(ii) otherwise required by law; provided, however, that the disclosing Party will provide such other Party with notice of such disclosure in advance thereof to the extent practicably possible;

(iii) made by such Party to the Regulatory Authorities as necessary for the development or commercialization of a medicinal product, including the Product, in a country, as required in connection with any filing, application or request for Regulatory Approval or as required by applicable securities laws and regulations;

(iv) made by such Party, in connection with the performance of this Agreement, to Sublicensees, directors, officers, employees, consultants, representatives or agents, each of whom prior to disclosure must be bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least equivalent in scope to those set forth in this Agreement; or

(v) made by such Party in the course of submitting financial accounts to relevant authorities as per local statutory requirements or to existing or potential acquirers; existing or potential collaborators; investment bankers; existing or potential investors, merger candidates, partners, venture capital firms or other financial institutions or investors for purposes of obtaining financing; or, bona fide strategic potential partners; each of whom prior to disclosure must be bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least equivalent in scope to those set forth in this Agreement.

12. PRESS RELEASES

Press Releases. Press releases or other similar public communication by either Party relating to the terms of this Agreement (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, unless reference is made to the other Party or the terms of this Agreement, with respect to activities in exercise of its rights under this Agreement) will be approved in advance by the other Party, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except for those communications required by applicable law, regulation or securities exchange rule (including, but not limited to, a public offering prospectus), disclosures of information for which consent has previously been obtained, and information of a similar nature to that which has been previously disclosed publicly with respect to this Agreement, each of which will not require advance approval, but will be provided to the other Party as soon as practicable after the release or communication thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties may issue press releases regarding the fact that this Agreement has been signed so long as they do not describe the specific provisions hereof.

13. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

13.1 Indemnification of Egalet. RedHill will indemnify Egalet and its directors, officers, employees and agents (“Egalet Parties”) and defend and hold each of them harmless, from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to the extent arising from or occurring as a result of any and all liability suits, investigations, claims or demands by a third party (collectively, “Losses”) arising from or occurring as a result of or in connection with (a) the negligence or willful misconduct on the part of RedHill in performing any activity contemplated by this Agreement, (b) breach by RedHill of any representations, warranties, or covenants set forth in this Agreement and/or (c) losses stemming from Product liability related losses or claims; except to the extent a Loss arises from the (i) negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Egalet Party; or (ii) breach by Egalet of any representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement.

13.2 Indemnification of RedHill. Egalet will indemnify RedHill, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (“RedHill Parties”), and defend and hold each of them harmless, from and against any and all Losses to the extent arising from or occurring as a result of or in connection with (a) negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Egalet; or (b) breach by Egalet of any representations, warranties, or covenants set forth in this Agreement, except to the extent a Loss arises from or occurs as a result of or in connection with (i) negligence or willful misconduct on the part of a RedHill Party; or (ii) breach by RedHill of any representations, warranties, or covenants set forth in this Agreement. Egalet shall further be responsible for and shall indemnify and hold RedHill harmless in respect of:

13.2.1 All royalties and other payments existing under an agreement signed by Egalet or any obligation undertaken by Egalet, required to be paid to third parties in respect of the commercialization of the Products.

13.2.2 All royalty and other payments required to be paid to other third parties in respect of the Product as a result of a claim by any of Egalet’s existing or former employees, consultants or shareholders, or any person named in Egalet’s patents or patent applications, or any person claiming it should have been named as an inventor in such patent applications.

13.3 In the event that additional license(s) to intellectual property (irrespective of whether such is the intellectual property covered herein or any other intellectual property) are necessary to enable RedHill, its Affiliates or Sublicensees to exercise the License, and the receipt of or license to use such additional intellectual property requires payment of royalties, settlement payments, awards or any other payments made to and taken by any third party on account of the use of such third party’s intellectual property, then RedHill shall effect a reduction in the Royalties and Sublicense Sales Royalties payable to Egalet hereunder by the amount of such third party payments (without derogating from any other deductions permitted herein, including without limitation, on account of a Combination Product reduction).

13.4 Conditions to Indemnity. Each Party’s agreement to indemnify and hold the other harmless is conditioned upon the indemnified Party (i) providing written notice to the indemnifying Party of any claim, demand or action arising out of the indemnified activities within thirty (30) days after the indemnified Party has knowledge of such claim, demand or action, (ii) permitting the indemnifying Party to assume full responsibility to investigate, prepare for and defend against any such claim or demand, (iii) assisting the indemnifying Party, at the indemnifying Party’s reasonable expense, in the investigation of, preparation of and defense of any such claim or demand; and (iv) the indemnifying Party not compromising or settling such claim or demand without the indemnified Party’s prior written consent, unless such settlement includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified Party a complete release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation; provided that, if the Party entitled to indemnification fails to promptly notify the indemnifying Party pursuant to the foregoing clause (i), the indemnifying Party shall only be relieved of its indemnification obligation to the extent prejudiced by such failure and that provided that the indemnified Party is not obligated to notifying the indemnifying Party of claims, demands and/or actions made directly against the indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party, such suit or claim involves an issue or matter which could have a materially adverse affect on the business, operations or assets of the indemnified party, the indemnified party may waive its rights to indemnity under this Agreement and control the defense or settlement thereof, but in no event shall any such waiver be construed as a waiver of any indemnification rights such indemnified party may have at law or in equity.

13.5 Insurance. RedHill will have and maintain such types and amounts of liability insurance, including clinical trial and product liability insurance, as is normal and customary in the industry generally for parties similarly situated. RedHill undertakes to send a copy of such insurance at the request of Egalet.

14. TERM AND TERMINATION

14.1 Term. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Article 14, the term of this Agreement (the “Term”) commences upon the Effective Date and will continue until terminated in accordance with the terms hereof.

14.2 Termination.

14.2.1 Termination for Breach. Failure by a Party to comply with any of its material obligations contained herein will entitle the Party not in default to give to the defaulting Party notice specifying the nature of the material breach, requiring the defaulting Party to make good or otherwise cure such material breach, providing specific actions that the defaulting Party could take to cure such material breach, and stating its intention to invoke the provisions of Section 14.3 if such material breach is not cured. If such material breach is not cured within 90 days after the receipt of such notice (or, if such material breach cannot be cured within such 90-day period, if the defaulting Party does not commence actions to cure such material breach within such period and thereafter diligently continue such actions), the Party not in default will be entitled, without limiting any of its other rights conferred on it by this Agreement (except as expressly set forth herein), to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the breaching Party.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of Egalet’s material breach of this Agreement, and without derogating from any of RedHill’s other rights at law, RedHill shall have the right to continue all activities under the License granted herein and to continue utilizing the Patents for the exploitation of the License, with the right to set-off, from any sums due to the Egalet hereunder, amounts equivalent to any damage caused to RedHill as a result of Egalet’s breach hereunder.

Notwithstanding, it is clarified that Egalet shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement for any reason whatsoever once the Royalty Term has expired, provided that this shall not derogate from any right of termination available to Egalet if RedHill has not complied with any and all of its obligations hereunder as per elapse of the Royalty Term.

14.2.2 Voluntary Termination. RedHill shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement at any time on thirty (30) days written notice to Egalet, without the need to pay Egalet any compensation in respect of such termination, in which case RedHill will immediately cease any and all development and other activities regarding the Product. Outside the scope of Sections 14.2.1 and 15.11 Egalet shall have no right to terminate this Agreement.

14.3 Consequences of Termination.

14.3.1 License. Upon early termination of this Agreement in its entirety pursuant to Section 14.2, the License granted by Egalet to RedHill hereunder will terminate; provided that RedHill shall have a period of 180 days after the date of termination to dispose, for consideration or otherwise as RedHill deems fit, of all previously made or partially made Product, subject to Royalties and Sublicense Royalty Fees on such sales being duly paid to Egalet.

14.3.2 Continuation following Egalet’s Bankruptcy. The Parties agree that in the event that Egalet becomes insolvent or makes a filing under bankruptcy or similar laws in any jurisdiction, RedHill shall have the protection afforded to the licensee under the United States Bankruptcy Code, including but not limited to, the protections set forth in 11 U.S.C §365(n) or its equivalent in any other jurisdiction which allows the licensee, upon rejection of the license agreement by the debtor-licensor or its representative, the option to either retain the licensee’s rights in the intellectual property under the existing contract while continuing to pay royalties, or to treat the executory contract as terminated. Egalet does not warrant that the rights granted to RedHill under this Section 14.3.2 will be enforceable under the laws of the jurisdiction under which Egalet operates.

14.3.3 Return of Information and Materials. Upon early termination of this Agreement in its entirety pursuant to Section 14.2, each Party will return to the other all Confidential Information of the other Party (except one copy of which may be retained for archival and compliance purposes), RedHill will return to Egalet or its designee all Licensed Know How and any other tangible materials received by RedHill under this Agreement and RedHill will further waive and actively deregister or assign as requested by Egalet, all Patent right registrations made under Section 2.4 above.

14.3.4 Accrued Rights. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason will be without prejudice to any rights or financial compensation that will have accrued to the benefit of a Party prior to such termination or expiration. Such termination or expiration will not relieve a Party from obligations that are expressly indicated to survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

14.3.5 Survival. Sections [6.8, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13.1-13.4, 14.3 and 15.3] of this Agreement will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

14.3.6 License Survival. Once the Royalty Term shall expire, RedHill shall, provided that the Agreement has not been terminated by Egalet under Section 14.2.1 or by RedHill under Section 14.2.2, be entitled to continue to manufacture and/or sell the Product throughout the world without having to pay Royalties or Sublicense Royalty Fees or any other amounts of whatsoever nature to Egalet in respect of such activities subsequent to such date. This Section 14.3.6 shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

15. MISCELLANEOUS

15.1 Assignment. Without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, neither Party will sell, transfer, assign, delegate, pledge or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, this Agreement or any of its rights or duties hereunder; provided, however, that (i) either Party hereto may assign or transfer this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the consent of the other Party to any Affiliate, or to any third party successor in interest with which it has merged or consolidated, or to which it has transferred all or substantial part of its assets or stock to which this Agreement relates. Any purported assignment or transfer in violation of this Section 15.1 will be void ab initio and of no force or effect. This provision shall not prevent Egalet from assigning or prohibit the transfer of the rights to future Royalties and Sublicense Royalty Fees to a third party, provided however that such third party in no event shall enjoy any better rights vis-à-vis RedHill than Egalet.

15.2 Severability. Should any term or provision of this Agreement be or become invalid or unenforceable or should this Agreement contain an omission, the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms or provisions shall not be affected. In such case, subject to the next following sentence, the parties shall immediately commence to negotiate in good faith in order to replace the invalid or unenforceable term or provision by such other valid or enforceable term or provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent and effect of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, or respectively, to fill the omission by inserting such term or provision which the parties would have reasonably agreed to, if they had considered the omission at the date hereof. In the event that any term or provision as aforesaid is invalid, void or unenforceable by reason of its scope, duration or area of applicability or some similar limitation as aforesaid, then the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision so that they shall be enforceable to the maximum scope, duration, area or applicability permitted by applicable law which shall not exceed those specified in this Agreement or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

15.3 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England, without reference to any rules of conflicts of laws.

15.4 Notices. All notices or other communications that are required or permitted hereunder will be in writing and delivered personally with acknowledgement of receipt, sent by electronic mail (provided receipt is acknowledged), facsimile (and promptly confirmed by personal delivery, registered or certified mail or overnight courier as provided herein), sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

15.11 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be responsible to the other for failure or delay in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement or for other non-performance hereof but only to the extent that such delay or non-performance is occasioned by a cause beyond the reasonable control and without fault or negligence of such party, including, but not limited to earthquake, fire, flood, explosion, discontinuity in the supply of power, court order or governmental interference, act of God, strike or other labor trouble, act of war or terrorism and provided that such party will inform the other party as soon as is reasonably practicable and that it will entirely perform its obligations immediately after the relevant cause has ceased its effect.
