10.2 Patents.
(a) | KLOX shall use commercially reasonable efforts to apply for and obtain the Patents in a timely manner. With regard to the Patents already filed in Canada, KLOX shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file for an accelerated review of such Patents within [***] after the Effective Date. For other Patents to be filed in Canada covering exclusively the Indications, KLOX shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file for an accelerated review of such Patents at the time of filing. In the event that none of the Patents are issued for the Indication for such Products in the Territory by the [***] of the Launch or if all of the Patents granted in the Territory are later invalidated and all appeals have been exhausted; and Sandoz decides not to terminate the Agreement (as permitted, if applicable, in accordance with Section 13.4(b)) and if a Third Party enters the market with a product similar to any Product and for an indication the same as any of the Indications, then the Profit Share for such Product only shall thereafter be [***]%) of the Net Profits for such Product only. |
(b) | Sandoz shall not use the Patents or KLOX’s Confidential Information relating to the Products in any manner whatsoever calculated to represent that Sandoz is the owner thereof.

10.3 Contest. If Sandoz determines to make, file or maintain any claim, demand, lawsuit, cause of action or other action or proceeding, alleging that any of the Patents are invalid or unenforceable in any court or other governmental organization or before any other arbitrar (collectively, a “Challenge Action”), Sandoz shall notify KLOX in writing of such determination (such notice a “Challenge Notice”) no less than [***] prior to the making or filing such Challenge Action. Sandoz shall include in any Challenge Notice a reasonably detailed summary of its reasons for believing that the Patent is invalid or unenforceable, and Sandoz will include with any Challenge Notice an identification of all prior art or other information it believes would render the Licensed Patent invalid or unenforceable. If KLOX receives a Challenge Notice from Sandoz, thereafter KLOX may, at its option and in its sole discretion terminate this Agreement (in its entirety or on a Patent-by-Patent basis, Product-by-Product basis, or Indication-by-Indication basis) by providing written notice of termination to Sandoz, and, if KLOX so chooses, xxx Xxxxxx for infringement in any forum of competent jurisdiction of KLOX’s choosing.
10.4 No Impairment. Sandoz will not do, or omit to do, anything in its use of the Licensed IP that could adversely affect the validity or enforceability thereof, or use any Licensed IP in any manner that would injure the reputation of KLOX or its Licensed IP. During the Term, Sandoz will not apply for, or aid or abet others to apply for, trademark registrations in the Territory or elsewhere of any xxxx or design which includes the Licensed Trademarks (or any
28

variation that is likely to infringe or be confusing similar with the Licensed Trademarks), alone or in combination with except with KLOX’s prior written consent, nor will Sandoz contest KLOX’s rights in and to KLOX’s Intellectual Property.

10.6 Notice. Each Party will immediately notify the other Party of any challenge or claims of infringement regarding the Commercialization of the Products, or of any infringement of the Licensed IP by any Third Party.
10.7 Protection. KLOX shall, at its cost and expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare, file, prosecute (including interference and opposition proceedings) and maintain (including interferences, re-examination and opposition proceedings) the Licensed IP in the Territory, protect the Licensed IP from any invalidity, nullity, revocation, re-examination or compulsory license proceeding, and enforce the Licensed IP from any infringement thereof. Any proceeding to enforce or defend the Licensed IP may only be brought by KLOX in KLOX’s discretion and at KLOX’s cost and expense and KLOX will have sole conduct and control of such proceedings. In connection therewith, Sandoz will reasonably cooperate in providing to KLOX in a timely manner any data that is in its possession along with declarations or other documents as may be useful in prosecution or litigation of the Licensed IP. Any recoveries obtained by KLOX with respect to such action or proceeding against the Third Party infringing the Licensed IP by commercializing any Product, or any amounts obtained in settlement thereof, shall firstly be allocated to reimburse each of KLOX and Sandoz for any internal and out-of-pocket costs incurred by them with respect to such action or proceeding (allocated between them in proportion to the costs borne by each of them if such recoveries or settlement amounts are insufficient to fully reimburse such costs) and the remainder thereof shall be paid to KLOX and Sandoz in the proportion of [***]% for KLOX and [***]% for Sandoz.
10.8 Actions outside the Indications and Territory. Sandoz shall not directly or indirectly, make, use, sell, commercialize or otherwise make available any product or service that includes any of the Licensed IP outside of the Territory or outside the Product Indications. If Sandoz becomes aware that any of its third party sublicensees, licensees, customers, resellers, sales agents, manufacturers or distributers is manufacturing, selling or facilitating the sale of the Products outside of the Territory or the Indications, then Sandoz will immediately notify KLOX of such activity.

INDEMNIFICATION
14.1 Indemnification.

(a) | the failure of the indemnifying Party to perform or fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement; |
(b) | any breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty or guarantee given by the indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement; or |
(c) | the negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the indemnifying Party. |
14.2 Additional Indemnification by Sandoz. In addition to the indemnifications set forth at Section 14.1, Sandoz shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless KLOX, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers and employees harmless from and against, all Losses incurred in connection with any Third Party Claim to the extent arising out of or resulting from the marketing of the Products by Sandoz (except to the extent that KLOX has an obligation to indemnify Sandoz pursuant to the terms of Section 14.3).
14.3 Additional Indemnification by KLOX. In addition to the indemnifications set forth at Section 14.1, KLOX shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sandoz, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers and employees harmless from and against, all Losses incurred in connection with any Third Party Claim to the extent arising out of or resulting from any infringement claim relating to the Licensed IP.
14.4 Limitation on Damages. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:
(a) | Except (i) in the case of a breach by Sandoz or any of its Affiliates or subcontractors of any restrictions on the use of the Licensed IP hereunder, (ii) in the case of breach by either Party of the obligations set forth in Article 9 and (iii) as concerns the obligations of indemnification hereunder; in no event will either Party hereto be liable with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement for any indirect, consequential, special, incidental, exemplary or punitive damages or similar damages or losses of any nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, for any loss of clientele, sales or profits, regardless of whether arising from breach of contract, warranty, tort, delict, quasi-delict, strict liability or otherwise, even if the Party is advised of the possibility of such damage or loss or if such loss or damage could have been reasonably foreseen; |
35
“[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended” |
(b) | no Indemnifying Party shall have any liability under this Agreement to any Indemnified Party to the extent the Losses arise from any negligence or misconduct of the Indemnified Party; and |
(c) | without limiting either Party’s liability to any Third Party or the right of either Party to implead another Party in warranty in any legal action, no Party shall be required to indemnify another Party in connection with any Product liability claim. |
14.5 Notification and Procedure.
(a) | Notice. Promptly upon obtaining knowledge thereof, the Party being indemnified hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the Party providing indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any cause which the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to indemnification under this Article 14. The omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any duty to indemnify and hold harmless which otherwise might exist with respect to such cause unless (and only to that extent) the omission to notify materially prejudices the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend or otherwise reduce the Losses associated with such liability. |
(b) | Third Party Claim. In the case of any Third Party Claim, if within [***] after receiving notice of a claim for indemnification, the Indemnifying Party (i) gives written notice to the Indemnified Party stating that such Indemnifying Party would be liable in the amount of such claim if such claim were valid and that such Indemnifying Party disputes and intends to defend against such Third Party Claim at its or their own cost and expense and (ii) provides reasonable assurance to such Indemnified Party that such indemnification will be paid fully and promptly if required and such Indemnified Party will not incur cost or expense during the proceeding, then counsel for the defense shall be selected by the Indemnifying Party (subject to the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that the assumption of defense of any such matters by the Indemnifying Party shall relate solely to the Third Party Claim that is subject or potentially subject to indemnification. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense in accordance with the preceding sentence, they shall have the right, with the consent of such Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to settle all indemnifiable matters related to such Third Party claims. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party apprised of the status of the claim and any resulting suit, proceeding or enforcement action, shall furnish the Indemnified Party with all documents and information that the Indemnified Party shall reasonably request and shall consult with the Indemnified Party prior to acting on all major matters, including settlement discussions. Notwithstanding anything |
36
“[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended” |
herein stated, the Indemnified Party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in such defense at their own expense directly or through counsel; provided, however, if the named parties to the action or proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, the reasonable expense of separate counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. If no such notice of intent to dispute and defend is given by the Indemnifying Party, or if such diligent good faith defense is not being or ceases to be conducted, the Indemnified Party shall, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, undertake the defense of (with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party), and shall have the right to compromise or settle any such Third Party Claim. If such Third Party Claim is one that by its nature cannot be defended solely by the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall make available all information and assistance that the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request and shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense. |
(c) | Exceptions. Notwithstanding any provision in Section 14.5(b) to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume and/or maintain, as applicable, control of the defense of any such Third Party Claim under Section 14.5(b) if any such Third Party Claim (i) seeks non-monetary relief, or (ii) involves criminal allegations. |
(d) | Cooperation. The Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable efforts to make available to the Indemnifying Party those employees whose assistance, testimony or presence is necessary to assist the Indemnifying Party in evaluating and defending any Third Party Claims. However, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the expense associated with any employees made available by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 14.5(d), which expense shall be equal to an amount to be mutually agreed upon per person per hour or per day for each day or portion thereof that the employees are assisting the Indemnifying Party and which expenses shall not exceed the actual cost to the Indemnified Party associated with the employees. |
