GRANT OF RIGHTS
2.1 Grants by Indevus.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, beginning on the Effective Date and ending upon the termination of this Agreement, Indevus hereby grants to Teva an exclusive (even as to Indevus) right and license throughout the Territory (with the right to grant sublicenses, subject to the provisions of Section 2.5) to practice under the Indevus Intellectual Property, to develop, make, have made, use, sell, have sold, offer for sale, import, export, register, market, promote and otherwise Commercialize the Compound and Products in the Field for all indications; provided, however, that the license granted under this Section 2.1 is expressly subject to the retained rights of Indevus to practice under the Indevus Intellectual Property solely to the extent necessary to carry out its express obligations under this Agreement. During the period beginning on the Agreement Date and ending on the Effective Date, Indevus shall take no action that adversely impacts or is otherwise inconsistent with the rights being granted to Teva hereunder.
(b) Teva does not expect or anticipate receiving any additional Indevus Intellectual Property created subsequent to the Next Trial Completion and through the Agreement Term, as Indevus has represented to Teva that it believes that it is remote that after the Next Trial Completion Indevus will be performing any research or development activities which would generate any additional Indevus Intellectual Property related to the license granted hereunder.
2.2 Sublicenses of Third Party Rights. The license granted to Teva under Section 2.1 includes exclusive sublicenses by Indevus in the Field (a) of certain Indevus Patent Rights and Indevus Know-How under the [***], and (b) of certain Indevus Know-How under the [***]. Teva acknowledges that it is a sublicensee under the [***] and the [***] to the extent stated in the foregoing sentence and agrees to be bound (and that any sublicensee hereunder shall be bound) by the
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
19
respective terms of such agreements, to the same extent as Indevus is bound by such terms, to the extent applicable to the sublicense granted to Teva hereunder. Provided that Teva has not materially breached this Agreement and has failed to cure such material breach pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(i), Indevus shall pay all amounts which Indevus shall owe pursuant to the [***] by virtue of this Agreement and shall perform in all material respects its obligations under the [***] that are required to enable Teva to perform its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement. In the event that Indevus receives notice of a breach of the [***], which breach gives rise to a right to terminate the [***] in a way that would terminate or materially adversely affect Teva’s ability to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement, Indevus shall notify Teva of such situation as soon as practicable, and use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly cure such breach. However, if Indevus is unable to cure such breach, Indevus shall, to the fullest extent possible, permit Teva to cure such breach, provided that Indevus shall reimburse Teva for any costs associated with curing such breach, or Teva shall be permitted to set off such costs against any amounts owed by Teva to Indevus hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing obligation of Indevus, Indevus shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain within [***] of the Effective Date an agreement from [***] that, provided that Teva has not breached its obligations under this Agreement, in the event that the [***] is terminated for any reason, [***] agrees to grant Teva substantially equivalent rights on substantially equivalent terms as those granted to Indevus pursuant to the [***] as are necessary for Teva to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under this Agreement.
2.3 Retained Rights; No Implied Licenses. All rights not specifically granted to Teva under this Agreement are reserved and retained by Indevus. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute the grant of any license or other right to either Party, to or in respect of any product, patent, trademark, Proprietary Information, trade secret or other data or any other intellectual property of the other Party, except as set forth under this Agreement.
2.4 Competition. During the Agreement Term, neither Party will directly or indirectly distribute, promote, market or sell any Competing Product in the Territory; provided, however, that if during the Agreement Term a Party believes in good faith that at any time a launch of a Generic Product is imminent in any country, Teva shall have the right (but not the
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
20
obligation) to launch a Generic Product of its own (an “Authorized Generic Product”) in such country, subject to the provisions of Section 5.3(a)(v). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, subject to the provisions of Section 11.2, in the event that Teva acquires a Third Party, or is acquired or becomes controlled by a Third Party, which is distributing, promoting, marketing or selling a Competing Product in a country in the Territory, Teva shall continue to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop and/or Commercialize the Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Third Party is commercializing a pharmaceutical product with the same or similar labeling as Product but that does not contain the Compound as an active ingredient, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Teva from manufacturing, distributing, promoting, marketing or selling a generic version of such product, provided that the provisions under this Agreement regarding the use of Proprietary Information shall apply to such Third Party.
2.5 Proposed Sublicense by Teva. In the event Teva proposes to sublicense any of the rights or licenses granted to it by Indevus hereunder, the provisions of this Section 2.5 shall be applicable. Teva shall advise Indevus in advance of any proposed sublicense and give due consideration to Indevus’ comments thereto; provided, however that if any such proposed sublicense of a Product is with respect to [***], then such sublicense shall be subject to the [***]. Any sublicense shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the grant of any sublicense by Teva shall not relieve Teva of any of its obligations under this Agreement.
2.6 Third Party Agreements. Within [***] after the Go Decision, Indevus shall assign to Teva and Teva shall assume the Third Party Agreements listed in Schedule 2.6(a), including all obligations thereunder (subject to the other provisions of this Agreement). Indevus shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to modify such provisions of the Third Party Agreements listed in Schedule 2.6(a) as Teva shall reasonably request. Within [***] after the Next Trial Completion, Indevus shall provide to Teva a Schedule 2.6(b) setting forth therein all Third Party Agreements entered into subsequent to the Agreement Date in connection with the Next Trial and consistent with the Next Trial Budget. Indevus shall assign to Teva and Teva shall assume the Third Party Agreements listed in Schedule 2.6(b)
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
21
which Teva shall specifically request, including all obligations thereunder (subject to the other provisions of this Agreement), or terminate such Third Party Agreements as Teva shall request. Indevus shall provide Teva with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon any such Third Party Agreements that Indevus believes in good faith would reasonably affect the Indevus Intellectual Property prior to execution by Indevus. Upon assignment to Teva, (a) all such Third Party Agreements shall be in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, (b) neither Indevus nor any other party thereto shall be in default or breach in any material respect of such Third Party Agreements, and (c) Indevus shall not have received any notice of any defaults, breaches or violation thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, Indevus shall have no further obligations under any Third Party Agreements assigned to Teva. Without Teva’s prior written consent, Indevus shall not modify, assign, amend or terminate any Third Party Agreement (as well as the SA Agreement and the Warner Assignment and License) and Indevus shall not enter into any other agreements regarding the Compound or the Products.

7.3 Third Party Infringement.
(a) Each Party shall promptly give the other Party notice of any actual or suspected infringement by a Third Party in the Territory of any patent included in the Indevus Patent Rights or Teva Patent Rights (collectively, the “Parties’ Patent Rights”), which comes to such Party’s attention. The Parties shall thereafter consult and cooperate to determine a course of action, including the commencement of legal action.
(b) Teva shall have the first right to initiate and prosecute such legal action at its own expense and in the name of Indevus and/or Teva, or to control the defense of any declaratory judgment action relating to the Parties’ Patent Rights, and Teva shall provide Indevus with reasonable notice of any such action it commences and keep Indevus reasonably informed of any significant developments in such action. Indevus shall render, at its expense, all assistance reasonably requested in connection with any action taken by Teva or to prevent such infringement. However, the control of such action, including whether to initiate any legal proceeding and/or the settlement thereof, shall solely be under the control of Teva; provided that Teva shall not settle any such claim or proceeding in a manner that materially adversely affects Indevus’ rights under this Agreement or which results in any material monetary payment by or financial loss to Indevus, without Indevus’ prior written consent, which consent, subject to the foregoing, shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(c) If Teva elects not to initiate and prosecute an infringement or defend a declaratory judgment action in any country in the Territory as provided in Section 7.3(b) within [***] after having become aware of such potential infringement, then Indevus may elect, which election shall be subject to the prior written consent of Teva, to take such action that is reasonably necessary and appropriate to terminate or prevent such infringement, including instituting an infringement proceeding, provided, however, that Indevus shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any claim relating to the Parties’ Patent Rights licensed hereunder without the prior written consent of Teva, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(d) For any such legal action or defense, in the event that any Party is unable to initiate, prosecute, or defend such action solely in its own name, the other Party will join such action voluntarily and will execute all documents necessary for the Party to prosecute, defend and maintain such action. In connection with any such action, the Parties will cooperate fully
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
52
and will provide each other with any information or assistance that either reasonably may request. Any recovery or award obtained by either Party as a result of any such action or settlement shall be shared as follows:
(i) the Party that initiated and prosecuted, or maintained the defense of, the action shall recoup all of its reasonably documented costs and expenses (including reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the action, whether the recovery is by settlement or otherwise;
(ii) the other Party then shall, to the extent possible, recover its reasonably documented costs and expenses (including reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the action;
(iii) if Indevus initiated and prosecuted, or maintained the defense of, the action, the amount of any recovery remaining then shall be [***] by the Parties; and
(iv) if Teva initiated and prosecuted, or maintained the defense of, the action, the amount of any recovery remaining then shall be [***].
7.4 Third Party Intellectual Property.
(a) In the event that a Party becomes aware of any claim that the practice by either Party of Know-How or Patent Rights or manufacture, import, use or sale of Product hereunder infringes the intellectual property rights of any Third Party, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party. The Parties shall thereafter discuss the situation, and to the extent reasonably necessary, attempt to agree on a course of action.
(b) If within [***] the Parties fail to agree upon an appropriate course of action, Teva shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to defend any action related to the intellectual property rights of any Third Party or to initiate and prosecute legal action related to the intellectual property rights of any Third Party in the name of Teva and/or
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

Indevus. Teva shall keep Indevus reasonably informed as to the progress of any such action. Indevus shall render, at its expense, all assistance reasonably requested in connection with any action taken by Teva. However, the control of such action, including whether to initiate any legal proceeding and/or the settlement thereof, shall solely be under the control of Teva; provided that Teva shall not settle any such claim or proceeding in a manner that materially adversely affects Indevus’ rights under this Agreement or which results in any material monetary payment by or financial loss to Indevus, without Indevus’ written consent, which consent, subject to the foregoing, shall not be unreasonably withheld. During the U.S. Collaboration Period, Indevus shall reimburse Teva for [***] of all Teva’s documented out of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in such defense.
(c) If Teva elects not to defend an infringement action in any country in the Territory as provided in Section 7.4(b), and Indevus elects to do so, which election shall be subject to the prior written consent of Teva, the cost of any agreed-upon course of action, including the costs of any legal action commenced or any infringement action defended, shall be borne solely by Indevus, provided, however, that Indevus shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any claim without the prior written consent of Teva, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(d) For any such legal action or defense, in the event that any Party is unable to initiate, prosecute, or defend such action solely in its own name, the other Party will join such action voluntarily and will execute all documents necessary for the Party to prosecute, defend and maintain such action. In connection with any such action, the Parties will cooperate fully and will provide each other with any information or assistance that either reasonably may request.
7.5 Patent Term Extensions. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in obtaining patent term extensions or restorations or supplemental protection certificates or their equivalents in any country in the Territory where applicable and where desired by Teva. Elections with respect to obtaining such extension or supplemental protection certificates shall be made in the same manner and with the same relative priorities between the Parties as is applicable to the prosecution and maintenance of Patent Rights pursuant to Section 7.2.

In consideration thereof, Teva shall continue to make all payments to Indevus set forth in this Agreement, including those set forth in and in accordance with the provisions of Article V. Such assignment shall not relieve Teva of its obligations with respect to such Assignable Patents under this Article 7, nor shall it affect any of Teva’s other obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding such assignment to Teva, (a) the definition of “Indevus Patent Rights” shall continue to be interpreted to include the Assignable Patents; (b) the definitions of “Valid Claim” and “Royalty Term” shall continue to be interpreted to include the Assignable Patents as Indevus Patent Rights; (c) the definition of “Teva Patent Rights” shall not be interpreted to include the Assignable Patents; and (d) Teva shall not have the right to assign, transfer, pledge or grant to any Third Party any security interest in or lien on the Assignable Patents or Teva’s right, title or interest therein.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
10.1 Indemnity. For purposes of this Article 10, “Indevus Indemnified Parties” refers to Indevus, its Affiliates and the officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents and successors and assigns of Indevus and its Affiliates, and “Teva Indemnified Parties” refers to Teva, its Affiliates and officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents and successors and assigns of Teva and its Affiliates.
10.2 Teva Indemnification. Teva shall defend the Indevus Indemnified Parties from and against all suits, claims, actions, demands, complaints, lawsuits or other proceedings, (collectively, “Claims”), that are brought by a Third Party, and shall indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law the Indevus Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses, that arise out of or are attributable to, (i) Teva’s negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct in exercising or performing any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; or (ii) a material breach by Teva of any of its obligations, representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement; provided, however, that Teva shall not be obligated under this Section 10.2, to the extent it is shown by evidence acceptable in a court of law having jurisdiction over the subject matter and meeting the appropriate degree of proof for such Claim that the Claim arose out of the negligence or wrongdoing on the part of Indevus.
*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

10.3 Indevus Indemnification. Indevus shall defend the Teva Indemnified Parties from and against all Claims, in each case that are brought by a Third Party, and shall indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law the Teva Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses that arise out of such Claims that are attributable to, (i) Indevus’ negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct in exercising or performing any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; or (ii) a material breach by Indevus of any of its obligations, representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement; provided, however, that Indevus shall not be obligated under this Section 10.3, to the extent it is shown by evidence acceptable in a court of law having jurisdiction over the subject matter and meeting the appropriate degree of proof for such Claim that the Claim arose out of the negligence or wrongdoing on the part of Teva.
10.4 Indemnification Procedure.
(a) Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any Claim. Concurrent with the provision of notice pursuant to this Section 10.4(a), the Indemnified Party shall provide to the other Party copies of any complaint, summons, subpoena or other court filings or correspondence related to such Claim and will give such other information with respect thereto as the other Party shall reasonably request. The Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall meet to discuss how to respond to such Claim. Failure to provide prompt notice shall not relieve any Party of the duty to defend or indemnify unless such failure materially prejudices the defense of any matter. Each Party agrees that it will take reasonable steps to minimize the burdens of the litigation on witnesses and on the ongoing business of the Indemnified Parties including making reasonable accommodations to witnesses’ schedules when possible and seeking appropriate protective orders limiting the duration and/or location of depositions.
(b) Should either Party dispute that any Claim or portion of a Claim (“Disputed Claim”) of which it receives notice pursuant to Section 10.4(a), is an indemnified Claim, it shall so notify the other Party providing written notice in sufficient time to permit such other Party to retain counsel and timely appear, answer and/or move in any such action. In such event, such other Party shall defend against such Claim; provided, however, that such other Party shall not settle any Claim which it contends is an indemnified Claim without providing the Indemnifying
65
Party [***] notice prior to any such settlement and an opportunity to assume the defense and indemnification of such Claim pursuant to this Agreement. If it is determined that a Disputed Claim is subject to indemnification, the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, of the Indemnified Party.
10.5 Settlement of Indemnified Claims. The Indemnifying Party under Section 10.2 or 10.3, as applicable, shall have the sole authority to settle any Indemnified Claim without the consent of the other Party, provided, however, that an Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the other Party, as part of any settlement or compromise (i) admit to liability on the part of the other Party; (ii) agree to an injunction against the other Party; or (iii) settle any matter in a manner that separately apportions fault to the other Party. The Parties further agree that as part of the settlement of any Indemnified Claim, an Indemnifying Party shall obtain a full, complete and unconditional release from the claimant on behalf of the Indemnified Parties.
10.6 Insurance.
(a) Each Party shall maintain, commencing as of the Agreement Date, commercial general liability insurance (including coverage for Product Liability, Contractual Liability, Bodily Injury, Property Damage and Personal Injury), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Party, with minimum limits of [***] per occurrence and in the aggregate annually or, in case of Clinical Studies, during the period when such Clinical Studies are being conducted (the “Insurance”). However, if such Insurance is written on a claims-made form, it shall continue for [***] following termination of this Agreement. The Insurance shall have retroactive date to or coinciding with the Agreement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Teva may satisfy the foregoing obligation with respect to the Insurance through self-insurance.
(b) Such Insurance shall insure against all liability arising out of the manufacture, use, sale, distribution, or marketing of Product in and for the Territory. During the Agreement Term, each Party shall not permit such Insurance to be reduced, expired, materially amended or canceled during the period of the Insurance without reasonable prior written notice, unless outside of the control of the Party, that shall be sent by registered mail to the other Party. Upon request each Party shall provide Certificates of Insurance to the other Party evidencing the coverage specified herein.

MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement during the period of time when such failure or delay is caused by or results from fire, flood, earthquake, explosion, storm, blockage, embargo, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), terrorism, insurrection, riot, civil commotion, strike, lockout or other labor disturbance, failure of public utilities or common carriers, act of God or act, omission or delay in acting by any governmental authority or the other Party. The affected Party shall notify the other Party of such force majeure circumstances as soon as reasonably practicable.
11.2 Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that either Party may assign this Agreement (a) to an Affiliate, (b) in connection with a Change of Control, or (c) if divestiture of Product (either alone or as a choice among one or more other products) is required by Law, in each case without such consent; provided further, however, that such assignment shall not relieve the Party of its responsibilities for performance of its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties. Any assignment not in accordance with this Agreement shall be void.
11.3 Severability. In the event that any of the provisions contained in this Agreement are held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, unless the absence of the invalidated provision(s) adversely affects the substantive rights of the Parties. In such event, the Parties covenant and agree to renegotiate any such term, covenant or application thereof in good faith in order to provide a reasonably acceptable alternative to the term, covenant or condition of this Agreement or the application thereof that is invalid or unenforceable, it being the intent of the Parties that the basic purposes of this Agreement are to be effectuated.

*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
70
anything herein to the contrary, each of the Parties agrees that the other Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement, and/or to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof, in any action instituted in any court or tribunal having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter, without posting any bond or other security, and that such injunctive relief shall be in addition to any other remedies to which such Party may be entitled, at law or in equity.
11.6 HSR Filing.
(a) On or about [***] from the Agreement Date, or such other date as the Parties may mutually agree, each of Teva and Indevus will file with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, any filing required of it in the reasonable opinion of both Parties under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (an “HSR Filing”). A failure by a Party to so file shall entitle the other Party to immediately terminate this Agreement under Section 9.2(b)(i) without any cure period or waiting period. The Parties will cooperate with one another to the extent necessary in the preparation of any such HSR Filing and shall seek early termination of the waiting period. Each Party will be responsible for its own costs and expenses and one-half of the filing fees associated with any HSR Filing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including those under Sections 4.1 and 5.1, neither Party shall be required to perform any obligation under this Agreement (other than this Section 11.6(a)) until the Effective Date.
(b) In respect of any HSR Filing, each of Teva and Indevus will use its good faith efforts to eliminate any concern on the part of any court or government authority regarding the legality of the proposed transaction, including cooperating in good faith with any government investigation and the prompt production of documents and information demanded by a second request for documents and of witnesses if requested.
11.7 Further Assurances. Each of the Parties shall take such further actions as shall be necessary or desirable in order to effectuate the respective rights and obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

11.8 Applicable Law, Venue and Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. All actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined in any New York State or federal court sitting in the City of New York, County of Manhattan, and the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such action or proceeding and irrevocably waive any defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding. The Parties further agree that, prior to the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Parties will (a) first present the dispute to the Chief Executive Officer of Indevus and an Executive Vice President of Teva for resolution, and (b) if the Parties’ respective officers are unable to resolve the dispute within [***] after it has been presented to them, the Parties will then attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through non-binding mediation under the then-current Mediation Procedure of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution. If efforts at mediation are unsuccessful within [***] after the dispute has been presented for resolution, any such unresolved dispute shall be resolved at law or in equity in the forum set forth above.

11.11 Waiver. The waiver by a Party hereto of any right hereunder or the failure to perform or of a breach by another Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by said other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise.
11.12 Headings; References. The captions to the several Articles and Sections hereof are not a part of this Agreement, but are merely guides or labels to assist in locating and reading the several Articles and Sections hereof.
