If UroGen does not cure the breach specified in a Breach Notice during the first half of the applicable cure period set forth in the applicable UroGen Product Agreement with respect to such breach (including any tolling of such cure period provided in such UroGen Product Agreement if UroGen disputes such breach), then Allergan may, in its sole discretion, pay to such Third Party the amounts due by UroGen under such UroGen Product Agreement to cure such breach or otherwise cure such breach and offset one hundred percent (100%)Β of such payments plus any other costs incurred by Allergan in curing such breach against amounts otherwise payable to UroGen under this Agreement.
(b) Allergan shall be solely responsible, subject to Sections 6.3.3(a) and 7.7, for any and all payments and other obligations owed to any Third Party under any agreement to which Allergan or any of its Affiliates is a party that pertains to Third Party intellectual property Covering the composition or formulation of, or the method of making or using, any Allergan RTGel Improvement.
6.4 Estimated Sales Levels. UroGen acknowledges and agrees that the sales levels set forth in SectionΒ 6.2.2 and SectionΒ 6.3.1 shall not be construed as representing an estimate or projection of anticipated sales of the Licensed Products or implying a level of diligence or Commercially Reasonable Efforts in the Territory and that the sales levels set forth in those Sections are merely intended to define Allerganβs royalty and other payment obligations, as applicable, in the event such sales levels are achieved.
6.5 Royalty Payments and Reports. Allergan shall calculate all amounts payable to UroGen pursuant to SectionΒ 6.2.2 or SectionΒ 6.3.1 at the end of each Calendar Quarter, which amounts shall be converted to Dollars in accordance with SectionΒ 6.6.

obligation pursuant to SectionΒ 6.2.2 or SectionΒ 6.3.1, Allergan shall submit to UroGen a report identifying, for each Licensed Product, the Net Sales for such Licensed Product for each country in the Territory for such Calendar Quarter, any sales milestones or royalties payable to UroGen pursuant to SectionΒ 6.2.2 or SectionΒ 6.3.1, as applicable, the basis for any reduction in royalties pursuant to SectionΒ 6.3.3, and the conversion of such Net Sales from the currency of sale into Dollars.
6.6 Mode of Payment. All payments to either Party under this Agreement shall be made by deposit of Dollars in the requisite amount to such bank account as the receiving Party may from time to time designate by notice to the paying Party. For the purpose of calculating any sums due under, or otherwise reimbursable pursuant to, this Agreement (including the calculation of Net Sales expressed in currencies other than Dollars), a Party shall convert any amount expressed in a foreign currency into Dollar equivalents using its, its Affiliateβs or Sublicenseeβs standard conversion methodology consistent with GAAP.
6.7 Taxes.
6.7.1 General. Each Party is responsible for its own taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments, deductions, fees, withholdings or similar charges imposed on or measured by net income or overall gross income (including branch profits), gross receipts, capital, ability or right to do business, property, and franchise or similar taxes pursuant to Applicable Law. The milestones, royalties and other amounts payable by Allergan to UroGen pursuant to this Agreement (each, a βPaymentβ) shall be paid free and clear of any and all taxes, except for any withholding of taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments, deductions, fees, and other similar charges required by Applicable Law (βWithholding Taxesβ). Except as provided in this SectionΒ 6.7, UroGen shall be solely responsible for paying any and all taxes (other than Withholding Taxes required by Applicable Law to be deducted from Payments and remitted by Allergan) levied on account of, or measured in whole or in part by reference to, any Payments it receives. Allergan shall deduct or withhold from the Payments any Withholding Taxes that it is required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if UroGen is entitled under any applicable tax treaty to a reduction of rate of, or the elimination of, applicable Withholding Taxes, it may deliver to Allergan or the appropriate governmental authority (with the reasonable assistance of Allergan to the extent that this is reasonably required and is expressly requested in writing) the prescribed forms valid under Applicable Law necessary to lawfully reduce the applicable rate of withholding or to relieve Allergan of its obligation to withhold such Withholding Taxes and Allergan shall apply the reduced rate of withholding or dispense with withholding, as the case may be; provided that Allergan has received, in a form satisfactory to Allergan, the valid forms, or evidence of UroGenβs delivery of all applicable valid forms (and, if necessary, its receipt of appropriate governmental authorization), at least fifteen (15)Β days prior to the time that the Payments are due. If, in accordance with the foregoing, Allergan withholds any amount, it shall pay to UroGen the net remaining balance when due, make timely payment to the proper Governmental Authority of the withheld amount and send to UroGen proof of such payment within a reasonable time following such payment, and such Withholding Taxes shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to UroGen hereunder. UroGen shall indemnify and hold harmless Allergan for any withholding agent liability for Withholding Taxes, including interest and penalties thereon. The Parties shall

Β
29
reasonably cooperate and take any commercially reasonable actions necessary to perform any required reporting and withholding and to eliminate or minimize the amount of any such deductions, withholdings, or Additional Amounts, if any, including providing valid and sufficient certificates, documentation and other information under Applicable Law. UroGen represents and agrees that it is the beneficial owner of the Payments and is a resident of Israel by virtue of the Applicable Law of Israel, and does not have a fixed base, office or permanent establishment in Ireland through which it carries on a trade or business.
6.7.2 Value Added Tax. Notwithstanding anything contained in SectionΒ 6.7.1, this SectionΒ 6.7.2 shall apply with respect to value added tax, ad valorem, goods and services or similar tax chargeable on the supply or deemed supply of goods or services, sales and use taxes, transaction taxes, consumption taxes and other similar taxes required by Applicable Law including any interest, penalties or other additions to tax thereon, required under Applicable Law (βVATβ). All Payments are exclusive of VAT. If any VAT is required in respect of any Payments under Applicable Law, Allergan shall pay VAT at the applicable rate in respect of any such Payments following the receipt of a valid VAT invoice in the appropriate form issued by UroGen in respect of those Payments, such VAT to be payable on the later of the due date of the payment of the Payments to which such VAT relates and forty-five (45)Β days after the receipt by Allergan of the applicable valid invoice relating to that VAT payment. The Parties will reasonably cooperate to issue valid invoices for all amounts due under this Agreement consistent with VAT requirements. Allergan shall not be responsible for any penalties and interest resulting from the failure by UroGen to collect (if not included on a valid VAT invoice) or remit any such VAT. UroGen and Allergan shall reasonably cooperate to eliminate or minimize the amount of any such VAT imposed on the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.
6.7.3 Withholding Tax Action. If either Party (or its Affiliates or successors) is required to make a payment to the other Party subject to Withholding Tax, then if such Withholding Tax obligation arises as a direct result of an assignment of this Agreement, change of control of the payor, change of jurisdiction of payments made by payor, or change of domicile by the payor, and such action has the effect on such payment of increasing the amount of tax required to be deducted or withheld than the maximum Withholding Taxes that would have been due under the Term of the Agreement had such action not been taken after taking into account all available and lawful reductions or eliminations of such Withholding Taxes available under Applicable Law (a βWithholding Tax Actionβ), then the amount payable by the Party taking such Withholding Tax Action (in respect of which such increased deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be increased by the amount necessary to ensure that after deduction or withholding of such Withholding Taxes, the other Party receives the same amount that it would have received had no such Withholding Tax Action occurred determined at the time of each payment (the βAdditional Amountsβ); provided, however, that if the payee derives or is able to derive a Tax benefit (including through the use of Tax credit, offset, or otherwise) under Applicable Law, in whole or in part, determined on a with and without basis as a result of such additional Withholding Taxes, payor shall not be required to increase any Payment by the amount of such Tax benefit, or, if withholding has already been made, the payee shall promptly reimburse the payor for the amount of such benefit; provided, further, that the payee shall take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to obtain any lawful reductions or eliminations of such Withholding Taxes available under Applicable Law or any Tax benefit (including through

the use of foreign Tax credit) with respect to such additional Withholding Taxes and to defend such benefit in a Tax audit, administrative proceeding or litigation. The Additional Amounts, along with any other Withholding Taxes deducted and withheld from the payment made by such Party, shall be otherwise subject to SectionΒ 6.7.1. For the avoidance of doubt, no Additional Amounts are required due to an increase of Withholding Taxes as a direct result of an assignment of this Agreement, change of control, or change of domicile by the payee, or as a result of a change in legislation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any sublicense or assignment in contravention of SectionΒ 2.2 or SectionΒ 12.3, respectively, of this Agreement will not constitute a Withholding Tax Action.
6.8 Financial Records. Allergan shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its or their Sublicensees to, keep complete and accurate financial books and records pertaining to the Commercialization of Licensed Products hereunder (including Net Sales of Licensed Products) to the extent required to calculate and verify all amounts payable hereunder. Allergan shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its or their Sublicensees to, retain such books and records until the later of (a)Β [*] years after the end of the period to which such books and records pertain and (b)Β the expiration of the applicable tax statute of limitations (or any extensions thereof) or for such longer period as may be required by Applicable Law. UroGen shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, retain its books and records regarding Withholding Taxes and any withholding forms as discussed in SectionΒ 6.7.1 untilΒ the expiration of the applicable tax statute of limitations (or any extensions thereof) or for such longer period as may be required by Applicable Law.

Such examinations may not (a)Β be conducted for any Calendar Quarter more than [*] years after the end of such quarter, (b)Β be conducted more than [*] in any twelve (12)-month period (unless a previous audit during such twelve (12)-month period revealed an underpayment with respect to such period) or (c)Β be repeated for any Calendar Quarter. Except as provided below, the cost of this audit shall be borne by UroGen, unless the audit reveals a variance of more than [*] from the reported amounts, in which case Allergan shall bear the cost of the audit. Unless disputed pursuant to SectionΒ 6.9.2, if such audit concludes that additional amounts were owed by Allergan, Allergan shall pay the additional amounts within [*] days after the date on which such audit is completed by or on behalf of UroGen and if such audit concludes that Allergan made an overpayment, any amount of such overpayment shall be fully creditable against amounts payable hereunder for the immediately succeeding Calendar Quarter(s); provided, that if at the end of the Term any of such overpayment amount has not been credited against amounts payable hereunder, UroGen shall pay Allergan such remaining overpayment within [*] days after the end of the Term.

The decision of the Auditor shall be final and the costs of such arbitration as well as the initial audit shall be borne between the Parties in such manner as the Auditor shall determine. Not later than [*] days after such decision and in accordance with such decision, Allergan shall pay the additional amounts, or UroGen shall reimburse the excess payments, as applicable.
6.9.3 Confidentiality. UroGen shall treat all information subject to review under this ARTICLE 6 in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of ARTICLE 8 and the Parties shall cause the Auditor to enter into a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement Allergan obligating such firm to retain all such financial information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement.

7.5 Infringement Claims by Third Parties. If the Exploitation of a Licensed Product in the Territory pursuant to this Agreement results in, or is reasonably expected to result in, any claim, suit or proceeding by a Third Party alleging infringement of such Third Partyβs patent or other intellectual property rights (a βThird Party Infringement Claimβ), including any defense or counterclaim in connection with an infringement action initiated pursuant to SectionΒ 7.4, the Party first becoming aware of such alleged Third Party Infringement Claim shall promptly notify the other Party thereof in writing. As between the Parties, Allergan shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to defend and control the defense of any such Third Party Infringement Claim at its sole cost and expense (subject to SectionΒ 10.1.2), using counsel of its own choice. UroGen may participate in any such Third Party Infringement Claim with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. If Allergan or its designee elects (in a written communication submitted to UroGen within a reasonable amount of time after notice of the alleged Third Party Infringement Claim) not to defend or control the defense of, or otherwise fails to timely initiate and maintain the defense of, any such Third Party Infringement Claim, UroGen may conduct and control the defense of any such claim, suit or proceeding at its sole cost and expense, unless Allergan elected not to defend such Third Party Infringement Claim due to Allerganβs good faith strategic decision. Where a Party controls such a Third Party Infringement Claim, the other Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, assist and cooperate with the controlling Party, as such controlling Party may reasonably request from time to time, in connection with its activities set forth in this SectionΒ 7.5, including where necessary, furnishing a power of attorney solely for such purpose or joining in, or being named as a necessary party to, such a Third Party Infringement Claim, providing access to relevant documents and other evidence and making its employees available at reasonable business hours; provided that the controlling Party shall reimburse such other Party for its reasonable and verifiable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Each Party shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any such Third Party Infringement Claim. Each Party agrees to provide the other Party with copies of all material pleadings filed in such action and to allow the other Party reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of any Third Party Infringement Claim. Any recoveries awarded to a Party in connection with any Third Party Infringement Claim defended under this SectionΒ 7.5 shall be retained by such Party.
7.6 Invalidity or Unenforceability Defenses or Actions.
7.6.1 Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any alleged or threatened assertion of invalidity or unenforceability of any of the UroGen Patents or Agreement Patents by a Third Party of which such Party becomes aware.
7.6.2 As between the Parties, Allergan shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to defend and control the defense of the validity and enforceability of the UroGen Product Patents at its sole cost and expense in the Territory and using counsel of its own choice, including when such invalidity or unenforceability is raised as a defense or counterclaim in connection with an infringement action initiated pursuant to SectionΒ 7.4.

in any such claim, suit or proceeding in the Territory regarding such UroGen Product Patent with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense; provided that Allergan shall retain control of the defense in such claim, suit or proceeding. If Allergan or its designee elects not to defend or control the defense of such UroGen Product Patents in a suit brought in the Territory or otherwise fails to initiate and maintain the defense of any such claim, suit or proceeding within [*] days after the applicable claim is filed, then UroGen may conduct and control the defense of any such claim, suit or proceeding at its sole cost and expense.
7.6.3 As between the Parties, UroGen shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to defend and control the defense of the validity and enforceability of the UroGen Patents (other than the UroGen Product Patents) at its sole cost and expense in the Territory and using counsel of its own choice, including when such invalidity or unenforceability is raised as a defense or counterclaim in connection with an infringement action initiated pursuant to SectionΒ 7.4.
7.6.4 Where a Party controls such any action described in this SectionΒ 7.6, the other Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, assist and cooperate with the controlling Party, as such controlling Party may reasonably request from time to time, in connection with its activities set forth in this SectionΒ 7.6, including where necessary, furnishing a power of attorney solely for such purpose or joining in, or being named as a necessary party to, such action, providing access to relevant documents and other evidence and making its employees available at reasonable business hours; provided that the controlling Party shall reimburse such other Party for its reasonable and verifiable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. In connection with any activities with respect to a defense, claim or counterclaim relating to the UroGen Patents pursuant to this SectionΒ 7.6, the controlling Party shall (x)Β consult with the other Party as to the strategy for such activities, (y)Β consider in good faith any comments from the other Party and (z)Β keep the other Party reasonably informed of any material steps taken and provide copies of all material documents filed, in connection with such defense, claim or counterclaim.
7.7 Third Party Rights.
7.7.1 If a Party reasonably believes that the Exploitation of a Licensed Product by Allergan or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their Sublicensees, Distributors or customers infringes or misappropriates or is reasonably expected to infringe or misappropriate any Patent, trade secret or other intellectual property right of a Third Party in any country in the Territory (such right, a βNecessary Third Party IPβ), then such Party shall provide notice of such Necessary Third Party IP to the other Party, and the Parties shall discuss such Necessary Third Party IP and their interest in obtaining a license thereto. In connection with such discussions, the Parties may enter into a common interest agreement in order to protect the attorney-client and other similar privileges and confidentiality with respect to such matters on standard and customary terms and conditions. As between the Parties, Allergan shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to negotiate and obtain a license or other rights from such Third Party to such Necessary Third Party IP as necessary or desirable for Allergan or its Affiliates or its and their Sublicensees to Exploit Licensed Products in such country, except to the extent such license or other rights pertains to Third Party intellectual property Covering the composition or

formulation of, or the method of making or using, (a)Β the RTGel Product existing as of the Effective Date or (b)Β any RTGel Improvement Controlled by UroGen or its Affiliates if such Third Party intellectual property was not identified by UroGen to Allergan at the time of the disclosure of such RTGel Improvement under SectionΒ 2.6.1, in which cases UroGen shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to negotiate and obtain such license or other rights from such Third Party. In the event UroGen has the first right to obtain a Third Party Right under this SectionΒ 7.7.1, nothing shall preclude Allergan from seeking to secure such Third Party Right in the event UroGen has not secured such rights in a timely fashion so as to prevent any meaningful interruption in Allerganβs exercise of its rights under this Agreement, at UroGenβs sole cost and expense. Subject to the preceding sentence, any license to Necessary Third Party IP shall be obtained at the sole cost and expense of the Party obtaining such license, provided that, in the event any Necessary Third Party IP so in-licensed is required by a Party to practice any RTGel Improvement Controlled by the other Party, such licensing Party shall obtain such license in a manner so that Necessary Third Party IP is sublicensed to the other Party, with any such sublicensing being conditioned upon the sublicensee Partyβs written agreement to be responsible for and payment of any royalty obligations to such Third Party licensor resulting from the exercise of such sublicense, either directly or through the Party obtaining such license from such Third Party, subject to UroGenβs responsibility for certain of such Third Party payments as specifically set forth in SectionΒ 6.3.3(a)(ii) or (iii). Allergan shall not secure any Third Party Right in a manner that would preclude UroGen from obtaining rights or a license to practice such Third Party Rights with respect to other products containing or incorporating RTGel Product that are not Licensed Products.
7.7.2 If a Party reasonably believes that any Patent, trade secret, or other intellectual property right of a Third Party in any country in the Territory would be reasonably useful for the Exploitation of the RTGel Product (such intellectual property right, βUseful Third Party IPβ), then such Party shall provide notice of such Useful Third Party IP and the Parties shall discuss in good faith such Useful Third Party IP, their interest in obtaining a license thereto, and whether (a)Β such license shall be obtained by one Party and sublicensed to the other Party, with any such sublicensing being conditioned upon the sublicensee Partyβs written agreement to be responsible for and payment of any royalty obligations to such Third Party licensor resulting from the exercise of such sublicense, either directly or through the Party obtaining such license from such Third Party, (b)Β each Party shall obtain its separate license from such Third Party or (c)Β one Party does not wish to obtain a license to such Useful Third Party IP. In the event each Party obtains a separate license as set forth in clause (b)Β or only one Party obtains a license as set forth in (c), the Useful Third Party IP licensed by the relevant licensee Party shall not be included in such Partyβs licenses to the other Party under this Agreement unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Parties in writing.
7.8 Product Trademarks.
7.8.1 Notice. Each Party shall provide to the other Party prompt written notice of any actual or threatened infringement of the Product Trademarks in the Territory and of any actual or threatened claim that the use of the Product Trademarks in the Territory violates the rights of any Third Party, in each case, of which such Party becomes aware.

Allergan shall have the sole right to take such action as Allergan deems necessary against a Third Party based on any alleged, threatened or actual infringement, dilution, misappropriation or other violation of or unfair trade practices or any other like offense relating to, the Product Trademarks by a Third Party in the Territory at its sole cost and expense and using counsel of its own choice. Allergan shall retain any damages or other amounts collected in connection therewith.
7.8.4 Third Party Claims. Allergan shall have the sole right to defend against and settle any alleged, threatened or actual claim by a Third Party that the use or registration of the Product Trademarks in the Territory infringes, dilutes, misappropriates or otherwise violates any Trademark or other right of that Third Party or constitutes unfair trade practices or any other like offense or any other claims as may be brought by a Third Party against a Party in connection with the use of the Product Trademarks with respect to a Licensed Product in the Territory at its sole cost and expense and using counsel of its own choice. Allergan shall retain any damages or other amounts collected in connection therewith.
7.8.5 Cooperation. UroGen shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, assist and cooperate with Allergan, as Allergan may reasonably request from time to time, in connection with its activities set forth in this SectionΒ 7.8, including where necessary, furnishing a power of attorney solely for such purpose or joining in, or being named as a necessary party to, such action, providing access to relevant documents and other evidence and making its employees available at reasonable business hours; provided that Allergan shall reimburse UroGen for its reasonable and verifiable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

Further, any combination of Confidential Information shall not be considered in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party merely because individual elements of such Confidential Information are in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party unless the combination and its principles are in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party.
8.2 Permitted Disclosures. Each Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is:

Β
53
Indemnifying Partyβs receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any Allergan Indemnitee or UroGen Indemnitee, as applicable, in respect of such Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against an Allergan Indemniteeβs or UroGen Indemniteeβs, as applicable, claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the Indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by any Allergan Indemnitee or UroGen Indemnitee, as applicable, in connection with the Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, except as provided in SectionΒ 10.2.3, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party or any Allergan Indemnitee or UroGen Indemnitee, as applicable, in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim.

10.2.4 Settlement. With respect to any Third Party Claims where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with SectionΒ 10.2.2 that relate solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim that shall not result in any Allergan Indemnitee or UroGen Indemnitee, as applicable, becoming subject to injunctive or other relief, and as to which the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify all Allergan Indemnitees or UroGen Indemnitees, as applicable, hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Third Party Claim, on such terms as the Indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may not enter into any compromise

or settlement unless such compromise or settlement includes as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party and all Allergan Indemnitees or UroGen Indemnitees, as applicable, of a release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim. With respect to all other Third Party Claims where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with SectionΒ 10.2.2, the Indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed). Where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with SectionΒ 10.2.2, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of such Third Party Claim by an Allergan Indemnitee or a UroGen Indemnitee that is reached without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not, and the Indemnified Party shall ensure, that each Allergan Indemnitee or UroGen Indemnitee, as applicable, does not, admit any liability with respect to or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim for which it has or intends to seek indemnification under SectionΒ 10.1 without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed).
10.2.5 Cooperation.

10.2.6 Expenses. Except as provided above, the costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any claim shall be reimbursed on a Calendar Quarter basis by the Indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the Indemnifying Partyβs right to contest any Allergan Indemniteeβs or UroGen Indemniteeβs, as applicable, right to indemnification and subject to refund if the Indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify an Allergan Indemnitee or UroGen Indemnitee, as applicable.

Documentation or other Information that relate to the RTGel Product but are not solely and specifically related to the RTGel Product and Allergan has, in writing, granted UroGen or its designee a right of reference to such Regulatory Documentation or other Information during the Term, such right of reference will continue to the extent necessary or useful for UroGen or its Affiliates to exploit the RTGel Product after the effective date of termination unless otherwise agreed by the Parties.

All validly assigned rights of such Party shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, and all validly delegated obligations of Allergan shall be binding on and be enforceable against, the permitted successors and assigns of such Party.

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Party hereby waives any provision of law that would render any provision hereof illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect.
12.5 Dispute Resolution.
12.5.1 Except as provided in SectionΒ 6.9.2 or SectionΒ 12.10, if a dispute arises between the Parties in connection with or relating to this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith (a βDisputeβ), then either Party shall have the right to refer such Dispute to the Senior Officers for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations during a period of [*] Business Days. Any final decision mutually agreed to by the Senior Officers in writing shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties. If such Senior Officers are unable to resolve any such Dispute within such 10-Business Day period, either Party shall be free to institute binding arbitration in accordance with SectionΒ 12.5.2 upon written notice to the other Party (an βArbitration Noticeβ) and seek such remedies as may be available.
12.5.2 Upon receipt of an Arbitration Notice by a Party, the applicable Dispute shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration before a panel of three experts with relevant industry experience (the βArbitratorsβ). Each of UroGen and Allergan shall promptly select one Arbitrator each, which selections shall in no event be made later than [*] days after the notice of initiation of arbitration.

The arbitration shall be administered by [*] (or its successor entity) in accordance with the then current [*], except as modified in this Agreement. The arbitration shall be held in [*], and the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to expedite the arbitration if requested by either Party. The Arbitrators shall, within [*] days after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing, issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The decision or award rendered by the Arbitrators shall be final and non-appealable, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with Applicable Law in [*] or any other court of competent jurisdiction. The Arbitrators shall be authorized to award compensatory damages, but shall not be authorized to reform, modify or materially change this Agreement or any other agreements contemplated hereunder. Each Party shall bear its own counsel fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration described in this SectionΒ 12.5.2, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the Arbitrators and all other general fees related to the arbitration; provided, however, the Arbitrators shall be authorized to determine whether a Party is the prevailing Party, and if so, to award to that prevailing Party reimbursement for its reasonable counsel fees, costs and disbursements (including expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges, or travel expenses), or the fees and costs of the Arbitrators. Unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, during the period of time that any arbitration proceeding is pending under this Agreement, the Parties shall continue to comply with all those terms and provisions of this Agreement that are not the subject of the pending arbitration proceeding. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall deny any Party the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in the context of a bona fide emergency or prospective irreparable harm, and such an action may be filed and maintained notwithstanding any ongoing arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings and decisions of the Arbitrator under this SectionΒ 12.5.2 shall be deemed Confidential Information of both Parties under ARTICLE 8.
12.5.3 To the extent that a Party receives a final award under this SectionΒ 12.5, such Party shall have the right to offset any unpaid amount owed by such first Party to the other Party under this Agreement by the amount of such award. Such right to offset shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies available under this Agreement and Applicable Law.
12.5.4 EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE, INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OR FRAUD OF A PARTY OR A PARTYβS BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 8, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOST PROFITS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THIS EXCLUSION IS NOT INTENDED TO, NOR SHALL, EXCLUDE ANY AMOUNTS OWED TO A PARTY AS A RESULT OF A THIRD PARTY CLAIM FOR WHICH THE OTHER PARTY HAD AN INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 10.

UroGen Pharma Announces Agreement to License RTGelTM for Use with Neurotoxins to Allergan
RTGelβ’ is a hydrogel technology that can be used as a bladder instillation therapy
Raanana, Israel ββ¦β¦. 2016 β UroGen Pharma (βUroGenβ), a privately-held, clinical-stage biotechnology company, announced today that it has completed an agreement to license worldwide rights to UroGenβs RTGelTM delivery system technology for use with neurotoxins to Allergan plc.
RTGelβ’ has thermo-sensitive properties that enable it to convert from a liquid state when cold, into a gel once it reaches body temperature. This allows increased residence time of drugs when mixed with the gel and instilled in the bladder. Allergan has agreed to make an upfront payment of $17.5 million, as well as potential development and commercial milestones and royalties on net sales.
βWe are excited about this licensing deal. We believe that Allergan is the ideal partner for the RTGelβ’ technology,β said Xxx Xxxxxxx, CEO of UroGen. βUnder Allerganβs robust BOTOX and uro-neurological development and commercial expertise, RTGelβ’ has the potential to become an important innovation for patients suffering from OAB and related conditions.β Xx.Β Xxxxxxx continued, βWe are proud of the accomplishments of our team at UroGen and believe that this deal is testament to our in-house research and drug development capabilities.β
Arie Belldgrun, M.D., Chairman of the Board of Directors of UroGen added, βThis important collaboration with Allergan, a world leading pharmaceutical company, highlights UroGenβs commitment to discover and develop new therapies for urological diseases with unmet clinical needs. We remain excited about our ongoing pipeline, including the upcoming uro-oncology phase III clinical trial of MitoGel for the treatment of upper tract urothelial carcinoma.β

About Overactive Bladder and RTGelβ’
Overactive Bladder (OAB) is a common, often disabling condition associated with considerable negative impact on quality of life. OAB results in an uncontrolled urge to urinate, frequent urination and, in many patients, uncontrollable leakage of urine. Standard first line treatment for OAB is anticholinergic pills, however, the majority of the patients stop taking the pills within one year due to an inadequate response to, or intolerance of, the medication. BOTOX injection into the bladder is approved as second line therapy for OAB and is considered an effective therapeutic option.
Over 30Β million in the US alone and 200Β million worldwide suffer from this burdensome disease.
About UroGen Pharma

The company has developed RTGel, a proprietary sustained release, hydrogel-based formulations for potentially improving the efficacy and safety profiles of existing drugs. UroGen Pharmaβs sustained release technology enables longer exposure of the urinary tract tissue to medications, making local therapy a potentially more effective treatment option. UroGenβs lead product candidates, MitoGel and VesiGel, are designed to potentially remove tumors by non-surgical means, to treat several forms of non-muscle invasive urothelial cancer, including low-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma, or UTUC, and bladder cancer.
