It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of Licensor’s or Licensee’s liability with respect to their respective indemnification obligations under this Article 11. Each Party shall provide the other Party with written evidence of such insurance upon request. Each Party shall provide the other Party with written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the cancellation, nonrenewal or material change in such insurance.

ARTICLE 12

CONFIDENTIALITY

12.1 Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all proprietary or non-public information or data, whether it be written or oral, including all processes, new product developments, product designs, formulae, technical information, laboratory data, clinical and preclinical data, trial design, non-public patent information, know-how, trade secrets, financial and strategic information, marketing and promotional information and data, and other material relating to any products, projects or processes of one Party (the “Disclosing Party”) that is provided to, or otherwise obtained by or on behalf of, the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) in connection with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, “Confidential Information” shall not include any information or materials that:

12.1.1 were already known to the Receiving Party (other than under an obligation of confidentiality), at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party, to the extent such Receiving Party has documentary evidence to that effect;

12.1.2 were generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of disclosure thereof to the Receiving Party;

12.1.3 became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after disclosure or development thereof, as the case may be, and other than through any act or omission of the Receiving Party in breach of the Receiving Party’s confidentiality obligations under this Agreement;

12.1.4 were disclosed to the Receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, by a Third Party who had no obligation to the Disclosing Party not to disclose such information to others; or

12.1.5 were independently discovered or developed by or on behalf of the Receiving Party without the direct or indirect use of or access to the Confidential Information belonging to the Disclosing Party, to the extent such Receiving Party has documentary evidence to that effect.

12.2 Confidentiality Obligations. Subject to Section 12.10, each Party shall keep all Confidential Information received from or on behalf of the other Party with the same degree of care with which it maintains the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information, but in all cases no less than a reasonable degree of care. Neither Party shall use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than in performance of this Agreement or disclose the same to any other Person other than to such of its and its Affiliates’ shareholder, directors, officers, managers, employees, independent contractors (e.g., CRO, SMO, and investigational sites), agents, consultants or, solely with respect to Licensor, its licensees or sublicensees who have a need to know such Confidential Information (each, a “Permitted Recipient”) to implement the terms of this Agreement or enforce its rights under this Agreement; provided, however, that a Receiving Party shall advise each of its Permitted Recipients, who receive such Confidential Information of the confidential nature thereof and of the obligations contained in this Agreement relating thereto, and the Receiving Party shall ensure (including, in the case of a Third Party, by means of a written agreement with such Third Party having terms at least as protective as those contained in this Article 12) that all such Permitted Recipients comply with such obligations. Upon early termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall return or destroy all documents, tapes or other media containing Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that remain in the possession of the Receiving Party or its Permitted Recipients, except that the Receiving Party may keep one copy of the Confidential Information in the legal department files of the Receiving Party, solely for archival purposes. Such archival copy shall be deemed to be the property of the Disclosing Party, and shall continue to be subject to the provisions of this Article 12.

12.3 Permitted Disclosure and Use. Notwithstanding Section 12.2, either Party may disclose Confidential Information belonging to the other Party only to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (i) comply with or enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement; (ii) comply with Laws; or (iii) in the case of Confidential Information belonging to Licensee related to Compound or a Licensed Product and only to the extent such disclosure is made to a Governmental Authority, including Regulatory Authority, and is reasonably necessary, obtain or maintain Regulatory Approval of a Licensed Product, as applicable. If a Party deems it necessary to disclose Confidential Information of the other Party pursuant to this Section, such Party shall give advance written notice of such disclosure to the other Party sufficient to permit such other Party reasonable opportunity to object to such disclosure or to take measures to ensure confidential treatment of such information, including seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy. Notwithstanding Section 12.2, Licensor and Licensee may also disclose Confidential Information belonging to the other Party related to Compound and Licensed Product to Third Parties in connection with financing activities or, with respect to Licensor, in connection with the development or commercialization of Compound and Licensed Product outside of the Territory (provided that such Third Parties are bound by written agreements having terms at least as protective as those contained in this Article 12 with respect to keeping such Confidential Information confidential).

12.4 Notification. The Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party promptly upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, and shall cooperate with the Disclosing Party in any reasonably requested fashion to assist the Disclosing Party to regain possession of such Confidential Information and to prevent its further unauthorized use or disclosure.

12.5 Confidentiality of this Agreement and its Terms. Each Party agrees not to disclose to any Third Party the terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto other than those made public as contemplated by Section 12.6 except to its legal or financial advisors or potential investors, acquirers, licensees, partners or collaborators who are bound by written confidentiality and non-use obligations no less stringent than those contained in this Article 12.

12.6 Publicity. The Parties shall agree on and issue a joint press release upon execution of this Agreement. The Parties may not issue individual press releases or make other public announcements relating to this Agreement without the written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Once any written statement is approved for disclosure by the Parties or information is otherwise made public in accordance with the preceding sentence, either Party may make a subsequent public disclosure of the contents of such statement without further approval of the other Party. The Parties will cooperate on all public announcements of any information regarding this Agreement, Licensed Product, or any research, Development, Manufacture, use or Commercialization of the Licensed Product in the Territory under this Agreement.

12.7 Publication. Licensee may prepare and submit, in its sole discretion, alone or in cooperation with any organization, contractor, investigator or other agent under contract with, or at the direction of, Licensee as Licensee may select, manuscripts for publication or peer review, or otherwise present any data or results of the clinical studies or the Development or Commercialization of the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory (collectively, “Publications”), provided, however, that Licensee shall submit such Publications to the JDC for review and approval at least sixty (60) days prior to submission. The JDC shall review any proposed abstracts, manuscripts or summaries of presentations or other materials for publication and shall respond in writing to Licensee within sixty (60) days after receipt of the proposed disclosure with either approval thereof or approval thereof only after satisfaction of certain reasonable, specified conditions; provided, however, that such period shall be extended to the extent necessary or advisable to prepare and file such applications for patents as either Party deems necessary or advisable in order to protect its intellectual property rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee shall not submit, as part of any Publication, any confidential data without Licensor’s prior written consent.

12.8 Redacted Agreement.

If Licensee is obligated to file this Agreement, it shall file the Redacted Agreement as filed by Licensor.

12.9 Prior Non-Disclosure Agreements. As of the Execution Date, the terms of this Article 12 shall supersede any prior non-disclosure, secrecy or confidentiality agreement between the Parties (or their Affiliates) dealing with the subject of this Agreement, including without limitation the Confidentiality Agreement. Any information disclosed under such prior agreements shall be deemed disclosed under this Agreement.

12.10 Survival. The obligations and prohibitions contained in this Article 12 shall survive for the longer of (i) the Term and (ii) the twelfth anniversary of the Execution Date.

TERM AND TERMINATION

13.1 Term.

13.2.2 Termination as a Result of Bankruptcy. Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice as a result of the filing or institution of bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or receivership proceedings, or upon an assignment of a substantial portion of the assets for the benefit of creditors by the other Party; provided that such termination shall be effective only if such proceeding is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after the filing thereof.

13.3 Effects of Termination. Without limiting any other legal or equitable remedies that a Party may have, if this Agreement is terminated, prior to its natural expiration by Licensor as per Sections 13.2.1 and 13.2.2, then the following provisions shall apply:

13.3.1 Termination of Licenses. All rights and licenses granted to Licensee hereunder shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect and Licensee shall cease Developing, using, Commercializing and Manufacturing Licensed Product (except as otherwise set forth in Section 13.3.2).

Licensee and its Affiliates shall be entitled, during the period ending on the last day of the sixth (6^th) full month following the effective date of such termination, to sell any inventory of Licensed Product affected by such termination that remains on hand as of the effective date of the termination, so long as Licensee pays to Licensor the royalty payments and other amounts payable hereunder (including Milestone Payments) applicable to said subsequent sales, with respect to sales in the Field in the Territory, as applicable, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and otherwise complies with the terms set forth in this Agreement.

Licensee shall, properly execute and deliver any and all documents, affidavits, etc., requested by Licensor to effectuate such transfers and assignments.

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

13.4 Survival of Certain Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Agreement that by their nature are intended to survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement as specifically provided.
