11. Dispute Resolution

11.1 Disputes. The parties recognize that disputes as to certain matters arising under this Agreement may arise from time-to-time. It is the objective of the parties to seek to resolve any issues or disputes arising under this Agreement in an expedient manner and, if at all possible, without resort to litigation, and to that end the parties agree to abide by the procedures set forth in this Section 11 to resolve any such issues or disputes. The parties initially shall attempt to settle any such issue or dispute through good faith negotiations in the spirit of mutual cooperation between business executives with authority to resolve the dispute.

11.2 Escalation. Prior to taking action as provided in Section 11.3 of this Agreement, the parties shall first submit such dispute to the Chief Executive Officer of BioAlliance and the Chief Executive Officer of PAR (collectively, the “Executives”), or their respective designated representative who shall be a senior executive officer with authority to settle the applicable issue or dispute, for resolution. The Executives to whom any dispute is submitted shall attempt to resolve the dispute through good faith negotiations over a reasonable period, not to exceed forty-five (45) calendar days, unless the Executives mutually agree in writing to extend such period of negotiation. Such 45-calendar day period shall be deemed to commence on the date the dispute was submitted to the Executives. The Executives shall, if mutually agreed by the Executives, submit the dispute to voluntary mediation at such place and following such procedures as the parties shall reasonably agree. All negotiations pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall be confidential, and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence.

11.3 Court Actions. Notwithstanding the above, but subject to Section 12.1, to the full extent allowed by law, either party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) to protect the parties’ rights or enforce the parties’ obligations under this Agreement pending final resolution of any claims related thereto in an arbitration proceeding as provided above. Subject to Section 12.1, in addition, either party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to resolve disputes pertaining to the validity, construction, scope, enforceability, infringement or other violations of patents or other proprietary or intellectual property rights. The parties shall use their reasonable efforts to conduct all dispute resolution procedures under this Agreement as expeditiously, efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.

12. General Provisions

The parties irrevocably agree that the State and Federal courts located in the State, City, and County of New York, shall have exclusive jurisdiction to deal with any disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and that venue is proper in such courts.

submits to the personal jurisdiction of Federal and State courts in the State and County of New York. The parties hereby agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts shall not apply to this Agreement. Each party hereby agrees to accept service of process, without limitation, by certified mail, return receipt requested or by overnight delivery through a large reputable international delivery service (e.g., FedEx or DHL).

12.2 Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement together with the Supply Agreement is both a final expression of the parties’ agreement and a complete and exclusive statement with respect to all of its terms. This Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and communications, whether oral, written or otherwise, concerning any and all matters contained herein. No rights or licenses with respect to any intellectual property of either party are granted or deemed granted hereunder or in connection herewith, other than those rights expressly granted in this Agreement or the Supply Agreement. This Agreement may only be modified or supplemented in a writing expressly stated for such purpose and signed by the parties to this Agreement.

12.3 Relationship Between the Parties. The parties’ relationship, as established by this Agreement, is solely that of independent contractors. This Agreement does not create any partnership, joint venture or similar business relationship between the parties. Neither party is a legal representative of the other party, and neither party can assume or create any obligation, representation, warranty or guarantee, express or implied, on behalf of the other party for any purpose whatsoever.

12.4 Non-Waiver. The failure of a party to insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right arising out of this Agreement shall neither impair that provision or right nor constitute a waiver of that provision or right, in whole or in part, in that instance or in any other instance. Any waiver by a party of a particular provision or right shall be in writing, shall be as to a particular matter and, if applicable, for a particular period of time and shall be signed by such party.

12.5 Assignment. Except as expressly provided hereunder, neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred by either party without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld); provided however, that either party may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder without the other party’s consent:

12.5.1 in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the business of such party relating to the applicable Product to a Third Party, whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise, provided that in the event of a transaction (whether this Agreement is actually assigned or is assumed by the acquiring party by operation of law (e.g., in the context of a reverse triangular merger)), intellectual property rights of such Third Party acquiring party to such transaction shall not be included in the technology licensed hereunder (except to the extent already included herein); or

12.5.2 to an Affiliate, provided that the assigning party shall remain liable and responsible to the non-assigning party hereto for the performance and observance of all such duties and obligations by such Affiliate.

12.7 Severability. If, for any reason, any part of this Agreement is adjudicated invalid, unenforceable or illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction, such adjudication shall not affect or impair, in whole or in part, the validity, enforceability or legality of any remaining portions of this Agreement. All remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect as if the original Agreement had been executed without the invalidated, unenforceable or illegal part.

12.9 Force Majeure. Except for the obligation to make payment when due, each party shall be excused from liability for the failure or delay in performance of any obligation under this Agreement by reason of any event beyond such party’s reasonable control and without the fault or negligence of the affected party, including Acts of God, fire, flood, explosion, earthquake, or other natural forces, war, civil unrest, accident, destruction or other casualty, any lack or failure of transportation facilities, any lack or failure of supply of raw materials, any strike or labor disturbance, or any other event similar to those enumerated above. Such excuse from liability shall be effective only to the extent and duration of the event(s) causing the failure or delay in performance and provided that the party has not caused such event(s) to occur. Notice of a party’s failure or delay in performance due to force majeure must be given by such affected party to the other party within ten (10) days after its occurrence. All delivery dates under this Agreement that have been affected by force majeure shall be tolled for the duration of such force majeure. In no event shall any party be required to prevent or settle any labor disturbance or dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the event(s) of force majeure suffered by a party extend beyond a three (3) month period, the other party may then terminate this Agreement by written notice to the non-performing party, with the consequences of such termination as set forth in Sections 9.3, 9.4 and 9.5.
