of JMED, threatened judicial, administrative or arbitral actions,
claims, suits or proceedings against or by JMED which, either
individually or together with any other, may have a material
adverse effect on the ability of JMED to perform its obligations
under this Agreement, the Manufacturing Agreement or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby.
6.4 Governmental Approval. No consent, approval, waiver,
---------------------
order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing
with, any governmental authority is required in connection with
the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the
Manufacturing Agreement or any agreement or instrument

JMED of its obligations contemplated hereby and thereby other
than (a) the filings required of both parties pursuant to the
Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act, (b) in the case of

SECTION 7. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
7.1 Governmental Filings. Lilly and JMED each agree to
--------------------
prepare and file whatever filings, requests or applications are
required to be filed with any governmental authority in
connection with this Agreement and to cooperate with one another
as reasonably necessary in order to accomplish the foregoing.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the
assignment, transfer and conveyance by Lilly to JMED of the
Licensed Assets pursuant to Section 2.3, Lilly shall submit to
the FDA the information required of a former owner pursuant to 21
C.F.R. Section 314.72 with respect to the NDA, and JMED shall submit to
the FDA the information required of a new owner pursuant to 21
C.F.R. Section 314.72 with respect to the NDA.
7.2 Responsibility for NDA. (a) Lilly shall remain
----------------------
responsible (until transfer of the NDA by Lilly to JMED pursuant
to Section 2.3, at which time JMED shall become and remain
responsible) for fulfilling and shall fulfill all regulatory
requirements with respect to the Product that are imposed upon
Lilly as the owner of the NDA; provided, however, that JMED shall
-------- -------
reimburse Lilly, within thirty (30) days of written request by
Lilly therefor (which request shall include all support
documentation reasonably required by JMED to verify the requested
reimbursement), for the amount of any and all annual product user
fees (with respect to sales of Product in the United States), any
NDA supplement user fees in connection with any Product-
20
21
related submission to the FDA, and related or similar fees paid by
Lilly to the FDA in connection with the NDA or sale of the Product
in the United States (except establishment user fees for Lilly
facilities and any other fees in connection with Product to be
sold outside of the United States, all of which shall be paid by
Lilly). SCHEDULE 7.2 hereto lists all annual product user fees,
------------
NDA supplement user fees and other related or similar fees paid
by Lilly to the FDA in connection with the NDA from and after
January 1, 1993. Lilly shall furnish JMED, upon request after
reasonable notice from JMED, with access to copies of all filings
submitted by Lilly to the NDA with respect to the Product. JMED
shall, on a timely basis after request by Lilly, provide to Lilly
all information that JMED has that Lilly does not have that is
reasonably necessary and relevant to Lilly's obligations
hereunder to fulfill such requirements including, but not limited
to, sales distribution information concerning the Product, and
JMED shall otherwise cooperate with Lilly as reasonably necessary
in connection therewith. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing sentence, in the event that any supplements to the NDA
or any other regulatory requirements are necessitated as a result
of transferring manufacturing of the Product from Lilly to JMED
or as a result of any action by JMED (including, but not limited
to, acquisition by a third party of substantially all of the
assets or outstanding shares of JMED, or merger with JMED), JMED
shall, on a timely basis and at JMED's expense, develop and
provide to Lilly all information that is reasonably necessary and
relevant to Lilly's obligation hereunder to file such supplements
or to fulfill such requirements and shall otherwise cooperate
with Lilly as reasonably necessary in connection therewith.
Lilly shall have the final decision-making authority (until
transfer of the NDA by Lilly to JMED pursuant to Section 2.3, at
which time JMED shall have the final decision-making authority)
in every case on whether and how to supplement, amend or
otherwise alter the
21
22
NDA and on any other issues in connection with the NDA (including,
but not limited to, decisions to recall the Product) and on whether
and how to communicate with the FDA in connection therewith;
provided, however, that no material supplement, amendment or
alteration of the NDA shall occur unless and until Lilly has
consulted in good faith with JMED with respect to such proposed
material supplement, amendment or alteration of the NDA prior to
making any final determination with respect thereto, and Lilly has
considered in good faith whether such proposed material supplement,
amendment or alteration of the NDA would have an adverse effect on
(A) JMED's ability to market or sell the Product, (B) the ability of
Lilly or JMED to manufacture the Product or (C) the fees paid by
JMED pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.2, and provided
further, however, that in the event that the parties are unable
to agree, Lilly's good faith decision shall be final and binding
upon JMED.
(b) JMED and Lilly have jointly developed written
procedures for (i) the reporting of adverse drug experiences, as
set forth on EXHIBIT C, (ii) the submission by JMED to Lilly and
---------
by Lilly to FDA of labeling and promotional materials related to
the Product as set forth on EXHIBIT D, (iii) administration of
---------
and response to medical inquiries concerning the Product by
consumers, physicians, pharmacists and other health care
professionals as set forth on EXHIBIT E, and (iv) administration
---------
and analysis of and response to complaints concerning the Product
as set forth on EXHIBIT F. JMED and Lilly shall each comply with
---------
the provisions thereof.
7.3 Compliance with Law. JMED and Lilly shall each comply
-------------------
with all applicable federal, state and local laws and
regulations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
sentence, JMED shall not promote the Product for any indications
not approved in the NDA or in any manner in conflict with
applicable laws or regulations. Lilly and JMED each shall keep all
22
23
records and reports required to be kept by applicable laws
and regulations, and each shall make its facilities available at
reasonable times during business hours for inspection by
representatives of governmental agencies. Lilly and JMED each
shall notify the other within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt
of any notice of any FDA or other governmental agency inspection,
investigation or other similar inquiry, or other similar notice
or communication of any type, involving the Product. JMED and
Lilly shall cooperate with each other during any such inspection,
investigation or other inquiry including, but not limited to,
allowing upon request a representative of the other to be present
during the applicable portions of any such inspection,
investigation or other inquiry and providing copies of all
relevant documents. JMED and Lilly shall discuss any response to
observations or notifications received in connection with any
such inspection, investigation or other inquiry and each shall
give the other an opportunity to comment upon any proposed
response before it is made. In the event of disagreement
concerning the form or content of such response, however, Lilly
shall be responsible for deciding the appropriate form and
content of any response with respect to any of its cited
activities and JMED shall be responsible for deciding the
appropriate form and content of any response with respect to any
of its cited activities.
7.4 Recall. Lilly and JMED shall each maintain such
------
traceability records as may be necessary to permit a recall or
field correction of the Product. Each party shall give immediate
telephonic notice (to be confirmed in writing) to the other upon
discovery that the Product should, as reasonably determined by
said party, be recalled or may be required to be recalled. In
the event that a recall is necessary prior to transfer of the NDA
by Lilly to JMED pursuant to Section 2.3, Lilly and JMED shall
jointly develop, and Lilly shall control the recall plan. In the
event that a recall is necessary after transfer of the NDA by
Lilly to JMED pursuant to Section
23
24
2.3, and Lilly is manufacturing the Product for JMED, Lilly and JMED
shall jointly develop, and JMED shall control, the recall plan. In
any event, each party will cooperate fully with the other in
connection with any such recall efforts.
7.5 Confidentiality. JMED shall treat as confidential the
---------------
Licensed Assets and all other information of Lilly of which JMED
becomes aware (whether in writing or orally or by sensory
detection) in connection with this Agreement or the Manufacturing
Agreement (collectively, "Lilly Proprietary Information"). JMED
shall neither disclose Lilly Proprietary Information to any third
party nor use Lilly Proprietary Information for any purpose other
than as set forth in this Agreement. Lilly shall treat as
confidential all information of JMED of which Lilly becomes aware
(whether in writing or orally or by sensory detection) in
connection with this Agreement or the Manufacturing Agreement
(collectively "JMED Proprietary Information"). Lilly shall
neither disclose JMED Proprietary Information to any third party
nor use JMED Proprietary Information for any purpose other than
as set forth in this Agreement.
Nothing contained herein will in any way restrict or impair
either party's (the "Using Party") right to use, disclose or
otherwise deal with any Proprietary Information which:
(a) at the time of disclosure is known to the public or
thereafter becomes known to the public by publication
or otherwise through no fault of the Using Party;
(b) the Using Party can establish was in its possession
prior to the time of the disclosure and was not
obtained directly or indirectly from the other party;
(c) is independently made available as a matter of right to
the Using Party by a third party who is not thereby in
violation of a confidential relationship with the other
party;
24
25
(d) is developed by the Using Party independently of the
Proprietary Information received and the Using Party
can establish such development; or
(e) is information required to be disclosed by legal or
regulatory process, provided that the Using Party
timely informs the other party and uses reasonable
efforts to limit the disclosure and maintain
confidentiality to the extent possible and permits the
other party to intervene and contest or attempt to
limit the disclosure.
JMED shall obtain no right or license of any kind under the
Lilly Proprietary Information except as set forth in this
Agreement.
7.6 Expenses. Lilly and JMED shall each bear their own
--------
direct and indirect expenses incurred in connection with the
negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and each agreement
or instrument contemplated by this Agreement and the performance
of their respective obligations contemplated hereby and thereby.
7.7 Reasonable Efforts. Lilly and JMED each shall use all
------------------
reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and
to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or proper to
make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
including such actions as may be reasonably necessary to obtain
approvals and consents of governmental Persons and other Persons;
provided that no party shall be required to (i) pay money (other
--------
than as expressly required pursuant to this Agreement), or (ii)
assume any other material obligation not otherwise required to be
assumed by this Agreement.
7.8 Publicity. The parties agree that no publicity
---------
release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated
hereby or in the Manufacturing Agreement shall be issued without
the advance written consent of the other, except as such release
or announcement may be required
25
26
by law, in which case the party making the release or announcement
shall, before making any such release or announcement, afford the
other party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such
release or announcement. JMED and Lilly recognize that disclosure
of this Agreement and the Manufacturing Agreement (including copies
of each) to the Securities Exchange Commission, the IRS and other
tax authorities is likely to be required, and each waives the
requirements of this subsection with respect to disclosure (and
copies) to such entities.
7.9 Cooperation. If either party shall become engaged in
-----------
or participate in any investigation, claim, litigation or other
proceeding with any Person, including the FDA, relating in any
way to the Product or any of the Licensed Assets, the other party
shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with such party in
connection therewith, including, without limitation, using its
reasonable efforts to make available to the other such employees
who may be helpful with respect to such investigation, claim,
litigation or other proceeding, provided that, for purposes of
this provision, reasonable efforts to make available any employee
shall be deemed to mean providing a party with reasonable access
to any such employee at no cost for a period of time not to
exceed 24 hours (e.g., three 8-hour business days). Thereafter,
any such employee shall be made available for such time and upon
such terms and conditions (including, but not limited to,
compensation) as the parties may mutually agree.
7.10 No Sale for Resale. JMED shall not knowingly sell any
------------------
Product to anyone in the United States for subsequent distribution
or resale outside the United States and shall take all reasonable
precautions to prevent such distribution or resale outside the
United States. Lilly shall not knowingly sell any Product to anyone
outside of the United States for subsequent distribution
26
27
or resale inside the United States and shall take all reasonable
precautions to prevent such distribution or resale inside the United
States.
7.11 Product Returns. JMED shall be responsible for all
---------------
returns of Product sold on or after the date of this Agreement
and Lilly shall be responsible for all returns of Product sold
prior to the date of this Agreement; provided, however, in the
event the parties are unable to determine whether the Product was
sold before or after the date of this Agreement, then with
respect to any such Product, JMED shall be responsible for all
Product returned more than sixty (60) days after the date of this
Agreement, and Lilly shall be responsible for all Product
returned within sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement.
7.12 Notification of Customers. Lilly agrees to cooperate
-------------------------
with JMED as set forth in Appendix B to the Manufacturing
Agreement, at JMED's request, in the notification to customers of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, with such notice
(the "Joint Notice") being in a form reasonably satisfactory to
both Lilly and JMED.
7.13 Customer Orders. Lilly shall take such steps as may be
---------------
reasonably required to insure that all customer orders for
Product received after the date of this Agreement are forwarded
to JMED within 24 hours after received by Lilly. Lilly agrees
that any customer ordering or requesting any information with
respect to the Product will (i) be informed that JMED is now
supplying the Product, and (ii) be forwarded a copy of the Joint
Notice if said customer has not received the initial notification
as required above.
7.14 Restrictive Covenants. (a) For and during the ten
---------------------
(10) year period following the date of this Agreement (the
"Restricted Period"), neither Lilly nor any of its Affiliates
shall directly or indirectly, within the United States, whether
as a shareholder, agent, partner,
27
28
proprietor, joint venturer, consultant or otherwise, of any business
or entity, take part, participate or become interested in, in any
manner whatsoever, a business or organization which directly or
indirectly manufactures, distributes or sells in the United States,
injectable methohexital products in competition with the Product;
provided, however, that nothing set forth herein shall prevent
Lilly from (i) manufacturing Product for sale to JMED, or (ii)
manufacturing methohexital products for sale outside of the
United States, or (iii) acquiring a company which at the time of
acquisition, manufactures, markets or sells methohexital
products; and provided further that, the foregoing to the
contrary notwithstanding, JMED acknowledges and agrees that the
following activities, events and conditions shall not be a breach
or violation of the Restrictive Covenants (hereafter defined) and
JMED shall not be entitled to injunctive or any other relief at
law or in equity or any other rights or remedies (including, but
not limited to, those set forth in this Section 7.14) in
connection with: Lilly or any of its Affiliates engaging in any
merger, acquisition, joint venture, partnership, alliance,
license, research and/or development collaboration, or
combination, arrangement or relationship of any nature whatsoever
(each, a "Relationship") in which the other party or parties
involved in such Relationships (each, a "Significant Other") at
that time already conducts or engages in, directly or indirectly,
anywhere in the United States, whether as a shareholder, agent,
partner, proprietor, join venturer, consultant or otherwise, the
manufacturing, marketing, distributing or selling of injectable
methohexital products ("Methohexital Business"), provided that
--------
the Methohexital Business (i) does not constitute a material part
of the overall business of the Significant Other prior to the
Relationship, and (ii) will not constitute a material part of the
overall business of either such Relationship or Lilly, as the
case may be, following consummation of the Relationship.
Further, no provision herein contained shall prevent or limit in
28
29
any fashion the right and ability of Lilly or any of its
Affiliates to conduct or engage in the pharmaceutical benefits
management business, integrated disease management business,
pharmaceutical mail order business and any similar or related
businesses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing set forth
herein shall (i) impact or affect the exclusivity of the license
granted to JMED in this Agreement, nor (ii) permit Lilly to
manufacture or develop a generic methohexital product for sale in
the United States. Furthermore, and notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Lilly covenants and agrees that for such
period of time as Lilly is required to manufacture Product for
JMED pursuant to the provisions of the Manufacturing Agreement,
neither Lilly nor any of its Affiliates shall, directly or
indirectly, manufacture or develop a generic methohexital product
for sale in the United States.
(b) If a party (the " Breaching Party") breaches, or
threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of
paragraph (a) above or of Section 7.5 (the "Restrictive
Covenants"), the other party (the "Non-Breaching Party") shall
have the following rights and remedies, each of which shall be
independent of the others and severally enforceable, and each of
which is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and
remedies available to the Non-Breaching Party at law or in
equity: (i) the right and remedy to have the Restrictive
Covenants specifically enforced by any court of competent
jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened
breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable
injury to the Non-Breaching Party and that money damages would
not provide an adequate remedy to the Non-Breaching Party; (ii)
the right and remedy to require the Breaching Party to account
for and pay over to the Non-Breaching Party, all compensation,
profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived
or received by the Breaching Party and/or by any other Person as
the result of, or
29
30
in any way incident to any conduct or transactions constituting a
breach of the Restrictive Covenants; and/or (iii) the right to cease
paying royalties or other amounts due under this Agreement. It is
further agreed that the amount of any bond that the Non-Breaching
Party may be required to post incident to any equitable relief
sought hereunder shall not exceed $5,000 and that said amount shall
be deemed reasonable and proper.
(c) Lilly acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive
Covenants are reasonable in geographical and temporal scope and
in other respects. If any court determines that any of the
Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants shall
not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without
regard to the invalid portions.
(d) If any court determines that any of the
Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is unenforceable
because of the duration or geographic scope of such provision,
such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope
of such provision, as the case may be, and, in its reduced form,
such provision shall then be enforceable.
(e) The Restrictive Covenants set forth herein shall
survive the termination of this Agreement but only if such
termination is effected pursuant to the provisions of Section
9.1(c) of this Agreement.
SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION
8.1 Indemnification. (a) Lilly shall indemnify, defend and
---------------
hold JMED (and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates,
successors and assigns) harmless from and against any
30
31
and all Damages incurred or suffered by JMED (and its directors,
officers, employees, Affiliates, successors and assigns) as a
consequence of:
(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made
by Lilly in this Agreement, or in the
Manufacturing Agreement, provided that, in the
case of a breach of any representation or warranty
made by Lilly in this Agreement, notice of a claim
based upon any such breach is given to Lilly prior
to the expiration of such representation or
warranty pursuant to Section 10.4;
(ii) any failure to perform duly and punctually any
covenant, agreement or undertaking on the part of
Lilly contained in this Agreement or in the
Manufacturing Agreement;
(iii) any misrepresentation in or omission from any
agreement, instrument or document delivered
by Lilly pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement or the Manufacturing Agreement;
(iv) any Excluded Liabilities; or
(v) Lilly's negligent acts or omissions in
manufacturing the Product for JMED.
(b) JMED shall indemnify, defend and hold Lilly (and its
directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, successors and
assigns) harmless from and against any and all Damages incurred
or suffered by Lilly as a consequence of:
(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made
by JMED in this Agreement, or in the Manufacturing
Agreement, provided that, in the case
31
32
of a breach of any representation or warranty made by
JMED in this Agreement, notice of a claim based upon
any such breach is given to JMED prior to the
expiration of such representation or warranty
pursuant to Section 10.4;
(ii) any failure to perform duly and punctually any
covenant, agreement or undertaking on the part of
JMED contained in this Agreement or in the
Manufacturing Agreement;
(iii) any misrepresentation in or omission from any
agreement, instrument or document delivered
by JMED pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement or the Manufacturing Agreement; or
(iv) any Assumed Liabilities.
(c) Subject to the limits set forth in Section 8.3, the
amount of such indemnification shall include, without limitation,
the amount of money or other consideration necessary to make the
inadequate representation or warranty true and correct, or the
amount necessary to cure any breach of covenant or agreement
under this Agreement.
8.2 Notice and Opportunity To Defend. Promptly after
--------------------------------
receipt by a party hereto of notice of any claim which could give
rise to a right to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1, such
party (the "Indemnified Party") shall give the other party (the
"Indemnifying Party") written notice describing the claim in
reasonable detail. The failure of an Indemnified Party to give
notice in the manner provided herein shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section, except
to the extent that such failure to give notice materially
prejudices the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such claim.
The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its option, to
32
33
compromise or defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel,
any such matter involving the asserted liability of the party
seeking such indemnification. If the Indemnifying Party
undertakes to compromise or defend any such asserted liability,
it shall promptly (and in any event not more than ten (10) days
after receipt of the Indemnified Party's original notice) notify
the Indemnified Party in writing of its intention to do so, and
the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying
Party and its counsel in the compromise of or defense against any
such asserted liability. All reasonable costs and expenses
incurred in connection with such cooperation shall be borne by
the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to
compromise or defend the asserted liability, fails to notify the
Indemnified Party of its election to compromise or defend as
herein provided, fails to admit its obligation to indemnify under
this Agreement with respect to the claim, or the claim could
result in the Indemnified Party becoming subject to injunctive
relief or relief other than the payment of money damages that
could materially adversely affect the ongoing business of the
Indemnified Party in any manner, the Indemnified Party shall have
the right, at its option, to pay, compromise or defend, by its
own counsel, such asserted liability. The Indemnifying Party
shall have the right to compromise any claim with respect to
which it takes responsibility provided that prior to any such
settlement or compromise the Indemnifying Party gives the
Indemnified Party at least fifteen (15) days prior notice of its
intent to settle or compromise a claim and further affords the
Indemnified Party an opportunity to provide input to the
settlement or compromise. The Indemnified Party may not settle
or compromise any claim over the objection of the Indemnifying
Party; provided, however, that consent to settlement or
-------- -------
compromise shall not be unreasonably withheld. In any event, the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party may participate, at
their own expense, in the defense of such asserted liability.
33
34
If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any claim, the
Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party
any books, records or other documents within its control that are
necessary or appropriate for such defense. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 8.2, (i) the party
conducting the defense of a claim shall (A) keep the other party
informed on a reasonable and timely basis as to the status of the
defense of such claim (but only to the extent such other party is
not participating jointly in the defense of such claim), and (B)
conduct the defense of such claim in a prudent manner, and (ii)
the Indemnifying Party shall not cease to defend, settle or
otherwise dispose of any claim without the prior written consent
of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld).
8.3 Indemnification Costs and Expenses.
----------------------------------
(a) The costs and expenses, including, but not limited to,
fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by an Indemnified
Party in connection with any claim for which the Indemnifying
Party is obligated to indemnify hereunder shall be reimbursed on
a calendar quarterly basis by the Indemnifying Party without
prejudice to the Indemnifying Party's right to, in good faith,
contest the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification and
receive a refund in the event the Indemnifying Party is
ultimately held not obligated to provide indemnity hereunder;
provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be
required to pay the fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Indemnified Party from and after the date on which the
Indemnifying Party commences its defense of the Indemnified Party
pursuant to the provisions hereof.
(b) No Indemnifying Party will have any obligations under
Sections 8.1(a)(i), (ii), (iii), or 8.1(b)(i), (ii), (iii) until
the cumulative aggregate amount of Damages incurred or suffered by
34
35
the Indemnified Party which the Indemnifying Party is
otherwise subject to under this Agreement exceeds $25,000, at
which time the entire cumulative aggregate amount of such Damages
shall be covered. The cumulative aggregate amount of (1) Damages
for which any Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to
Sections 8.1(a)(i), (ii), (iii), or 8.1(b)(i), (ii), (iii) or
8.1(c), and (2) incidental or consequential Damages for which any
Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to Sections
8.1(a)(iv), (v) or 8.1(b)(iv), shall not exceed Thirty Million
Dollars ($30,000,000), plus (ii) the amount of royalties paid by
JMED to Lilly pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.3 hereof.
The provisions of this Section 8.3(b) shall not limit or
otherwise affect the obligations of any Indemnifying Party under
any other Section of this Agreement or the Manufacturing
Agreement.
(c) The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is
provided under this Section 8 shall be reduced to take account of
any net tax benefit and shall be increased to take account of any
net tax detriment arising from the incurrence or payment of any
such Damages or from the receipt of any such indemnification
payment and shall be reduced by the insurance proceeds received
and any other amount recovered, if any, by the Indemnified Party
with respect to any Damages. If any Indemnified Party shall have
received any payment pursuant to this Section 8 with respect to
any Damages and shall subsequently have received insurance
proceeds or other amounts with respect to such Damages, then such
Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount
equal to the difference (if any) between (i) the sum of the
amount of those insurance proceeds or other amounts received and
the amount of the payment by such Indemnifying Party pursuant to
this Section 8 with respect to such Damages and (ii) the amount
necessary to fully and completely indemnify and hold harmless
such Indemnified Party from and
35
36
against such Damages, provided, however, in no event will such
Indemnified Party have any obligation pursuant to this sentence to
pay to such Indemnifying Party an amount greater than the amount of
the payment by such Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 8
with respect to such Damages; and further provided, that nothing set
forth herein shall in any way limit or bar any rights of subrogation
that accrue to an insurance company or other Person who has paid any
proceeds to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Damages.
8.4 Survival. The provisions of Section 8 shall survive
--------
any termination of this Agreement and any termination of the
Manufacturing Agreement. Each Indemnified Party's rights under
Section 8 shall not be deemed to have been waived or otherwise
affected by such Indemnified Party's waiver of the breach of any
representation, warranty, agreement or covenant contained in or
made pursuant to this Agreement or the Manufacturing Agreement,
unless such waiver expressly and in writing also waives any or
all of the Indemnified Party's rights under Section 8.
SECTION 9. TERMINATION
9.1 Termination. Anything herein to the contrary
-----------
notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated as follows:
(a) Termination for Insolvency. If either JMED or Lilly
--------------------------
(i) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or
becomes insolvent; (ii) files an insolvency petition in bankruptcy;
(iii) petitions for or acquiesces in the appointment of any
receiver, trustee or similar officer to liquidate or conserve its
business or any substantial part of its assets; (iv) commences under
the laws of any jurisdiction any proceeding involving its
insolvency, bankruptcy,
36
37
reorganization, adjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or any
other similar proceeding for the release of financially distressed
debtors; or (v) becomes a party to any proceeding or action of the
type described above in (iii) or (iv) and such proceeding or action
remains undismissed or unstayed for a period of more than sixty (60)
days, then the other party may by written notice terminate this
Agreement with immediate effect. In the event of termination of
this Agreement by Lilly under this Section 9.1(a), payment by
JMED to Lilly of all amounts set forth in Section 3.2 shall be
immediately accelerated and all such amounts shall be immediately
due and payable by JMED to Lilly on the date of termination.
(b) Termination for Default. (i) Subject to mediation as
-----------------------
provided in Section 9.1(f) hereof, JMED and Lilly shall each have
the right to terminate this Agreement for default upon the
other's failure to comply in any material respect with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. Prior to any such termination
for default the party seeking to so terminate shall give the
other written notice of its intention to terminate this Agreement
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9. l(b), which
notice shall set forth the default(s) which form the basis for
such termination. If the defaulting party fails to correct such
default(s) within thirty (30) days after receipt of the
notification with respect to monetary defaults, and ninety (90)
days after the receipt of notification with respect to non-
monetary defaults, or if the non-monetary default cannot be
corrected or remedied within ninety (90) days then if the
defaulting party has not commenced curing said default(s) within
said ninety (90) days and be diligently pursuing completion of
same, then such party may immediately terminate this Agreement.
In addition, any default by a party under the Manufacturing
Agreement shall be deemed to be a default by such party
hereunder. In the event of termination of this Agreement by
Lilly under this Section 9.1 (b), payment by JMED
37
38
to Lilly of all amounts set forth in Section 3.2 shall be
immediately accelerated and all such amounts shall be immediately
due and payable by JMED to Lilly on the date of termination.
(ii) this Section 9.1(b) shall not be exclusive and
shall not be in lieu of any other remedies available to a party
hereto for any default hereunder on the part of the other party.
(c) Termination Upon Transfer. In the event Lilly elects
-------------------------
to transfer the Licensed Assets to JMED pursuant to Section 2.3,
this Agreement shall, subject to the provisions of paragraph (d)
of this Section 9.1, terminate automatically, and without the
need for notice, simultaneously with the execution and delivery
by Lilly to JMED of the Xxxx of Sale and Trademark Assignment
described in Section 2.3 and such other documents as JMED shall
reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, termination
by Lilly under this Section 9.1(c) shall not affect the rights
and obligations of the parties pursuant to the Manufacturing
Agreement, nor the licensing of the Technology by Lilly to JMED
pursuant to Section 2.8 of this Agreement, all of which shall
continue to survive unless and until otherwise terminated
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or of said
Manufacturing Agreement.
(d) Continuing Obligations. Termination of this Agreement
----------------------
for any reason shall not relieve the parties of any obligation
accruing prior thereto and shall be without prejudice to the
rights and remedies of either party with respect to any
antecedent breach of the provisions of this Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as otherwise
provided herein, no termination of this Agreement, whether by
lapse of time or otherwise, shall serve to terminate the
obligations of the parties hereto under Sections 2.2, 2.4, 2.5,
2.8 (but only if termination occurs pursuant to Section 9.1(c)),
3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, Section 5, Section 6, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4,
7.5, 7.8, 7.9, 7.11, 7.14 (as described in 7.14(e)), Section 8,
9.1(d), 9.1(e), 9.1(f), 10.2,
38
39
10.3 and 10.4 (but only if termination occurs pursuant to Section
9.1(c)) hereof, and such obligations shall survive any such
termination, except that in the event that JMED terminates this
Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Sections 9.1(a) or 9.1(b),
then JMED shall have no continuing obligation to make any further
payments to Lilly pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.
(e) Returned Materials. On the termination of this
------------------
Agreement (other than pursuant to Section 9.1(c)), Lilly and JMED
each shall return to the other all information which it possesses
or controls that belongs to the other, except that each may
retain a copy for recordkeeping purposes.
(f) Mediation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
---------
to the contrary, in the event that any dispute arises with
respect to this Agreement or any alleged default hereunder, then
prior to a declaration of default, termination of this Agreement,
and/or the institution of litigation between the parties, the
parties shall mediate such dispute pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 9.1(f).
(i) A dispute shall be submitted to mediation by
written notice to the other party. In the
mediation process, the parties will try to
resolve their differences voluntarily with the aid
of an impartial mediator, who will attempt to
facilitate negotiations. The mediator will be
selected by agreement of the parties. If the
parties cannot agree on a mediator, a mediator
will be designated by the American Arbitration
Association ("AAA") or JAMS/Endispute at the
request of a party. Any mediator so designated
must be acceptable to both parties.
39
40
(ii) The mediation will be conducted as specified by
the mediator and agreed upon by the parties. The
parties agree to discuss their differences in good
faith and to attempt, with the assistance of the
mediator, to reach an amicable resolution of the
dispute.
(iii) The mediation will be treated as a settlement
discussion and therefore will be
confidential. The mediator may not testify
for either party in any later proceeding
relating to the dispute. No recording or
transcript shall be made of the mediation
proceedings.
(iv) Each party will bear its own costs in the
mediation. The fees and expenses of the mediator
will be shared equally by the parties.
