The JSC may change its size from time to time by mutual consent of its members, and each Party may replace its representatives at any time upon written notice to the other Party; provided, however, that the JSC will at all times consist of equal numbers of members appointed by each Party. If a JSC representative from either Party is unable to attend or participate in a meeting of the JSC, the Party who designated such representative may designate an appropriately qualified substitute representative for the meeting. The JSC will have a chairperson, who will be elected, on an annual basis, alternatively by Licensor or Licensee, with Licensor electing the initial chairperson.

The Alliance Managers may attend all JSC meetings and support the chairperson of the JSC in the discharge of their responsibilities. Alliance Managers shall be non-voting participants in such JSC meetings, unless they are also appointed members of the JSC; provided, however, that an Alliance Manager may bring any matter to the attention of the JSC if such Alliance Manager reasonably believes that such matter warrants such attention. Each Party may change its designated Alliance Manager from time to time upon written notice to the other Party. Any Alliance Manager may designate a substitute to temporarily perform the functions of that Alliance Manager by written notice to the other Party. Each Alliance Manager will also: (i) coordinate cooperative efforts and communications between the Parties; and (ii) take responsibility for ensuring that governance activities, such as the conduct of required JSC meetings and production of meeting minutes, occur as set forth in this Agreement, and that relevant action items resulting from such meetings are appropriately carried out or otherwise addressed.

Licensor shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit reveals an underpayment by Licensee of more than five percent (5%) of the amount actually due for the audited time period, in which case Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for the costs for such audit.

10.1        Ownership of Inventions. Each Party shall solely own any Inventions made solely by it and/or its Affiliates’ employees, agents, or independent contractors (“Sole Inventions”). The Parties shall jointly own any Inventions that are made jointly by employees, agents, or independent contractors of one Party and its Affiliates together with by employees, agents, or independent contractors of the other Party and its Affiliates (“Joint Inventions”). For clarity, the determination of which Party “made” a particular Invention shall be made, with respect to patentable Inventions, in accordance with the rules of inventorship under U.S. patent laws. All Patents claiming patentable Joint Inventions shall be referred to herein as “Joint Patents.” Except to the extent either Party is restricted by the licenses granted to the other Party under this Agreement, each Party shall be entitled to practice, license, assign and otherwise exploit the Joint Inventions and Joint Patents without the duty of accounting to or seeking consent from the other Party.

(2)            Licensor shall consult with Licensee and keep Licensee reasonably informed of the status of the Licensed Patents in the Licensee Territory and shall promptly provide Licensee with all material correspondence received from any Government Authority in connection therewith. In addition, Licensor shall use reasonable endeavors to provide Licensee with drafts of all proposed material filings and correspondence to any Government Authority with respect to the Licensed Patents in the Licensee Territory for Licensee’s review and comment prior to the submission of such proposed filings and correspondences. Licensor shall confer with Licensee and consider in good faith Licensee’s comments prior to submitting such filings and correspondences, but, for the avoidance of doubt, shall decide (in its absolute discretion) whether to adopt any of Licensee’s comments.

(3)            Licensor shall notify Licensee of any decision to cease prosecution and/or maintenance of, or not to continue to pay the expenses of prosecution and/or maintenance of, any Licensed Patents in the Licensee Territory at least forty-five (45) days prior to any filing or payment due date, or any other due date that requires action, in connection with such Licensed Patent. If Licensor makes such a decision to cease prosecution and/or maintenance of, or not to continue to pay the expenses of prosecution and/or maintenance of, any Licensed Patents in the Licensee Territory, Licensor shall permit Licensee, at its discretion and at its sole expense, to continue prosecution or maintenance of such Licensed Patent. Licensee’s prosecution or maintenance of such Licensed Patent shall not change the Parties’ respective rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Licensed Patent other than those expressly set forth in this Section 10.3(a)(3).

(b)           Joint Patents.

(1)            Licensee shall have the first right in its sole discretion to file, prosecute and maintain any Joint Patents in the Licensee Territory, at Licensee’s own cost and expense.

(2)            Licensee shall consult with Licensor and keep Licensor reasonably informed of the status of the Joint Patents in the Licensee Territory and shall promptly provide Licensor with material correspondences received from patent authorities in connection therewith.

If Licensee makes such a decision to cease prosecution and/or maintenance of, or not to continue to pay the expenses of prosecution and/or maintenance of, any Joint Patents in the Licensee Territory, Licensee shall permit Licensor, at its discretion and expense, to continue prosecution or maintenance of such Joint Patent.

(d)           Cooperation in Prosecution. Each Party shall provide the other Party all reasonable assistance and cooperation in the patent prosecution efforts provided above in this Section 10.3 (Patent Prosecution), including providing any necessary powers of attorney and executing any other required documents or instruments for such prosecution.

10.4        Patent Enforcement.

(a)            Notification. Each Party shall promptly notify the other party if it becomes aware of any alleged or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any of the Licensed Patents (“Infringement”).

(b)           Enforcement Right. Licensee shall have the first right to bring and control any legal action in connection with any Infringement in the Licensee Territory at its own expense and as it reasonably determines appropriate. If Licensee decides not to enforce the Licensed Patents against such Infringement or does not bring such legal action or otherwise take commercially reasonable action to xxxxx such Infringement before the earlier of: (i) sixty (60) days after the notice provided pursuant to Section 10.4(a) (Notification), or (ii) ten (10) Business Days before the time limit (if any) set forth in applicable Law for the filing of such legal action (provided that notice of infringement has been provided pursuant to Section 10.4(a) (Notification) prior to such time limit), then Licensor shall have the right to bring and control any legal action in connection with such Infringement in the Licensee Territory at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate.

(c)           Cooperation. At the request and expense of the Party bringing the action under Section 10.4(b) (Enforcement Right) above, the other Party shall provide reasonable assistance in connection therewith, including by executing reasonably appropriate documents, cooperating in discovery and joining as a plaintiff party to the action if required by applicable Law to pursue such action. In connection with any such proceeding, the enforcing Party shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of the status and progress of such enforcement action, and shall reasonably consider the other Party’s comment on any such efforts. The non-enforcing Party shall be entitled to separate representation in such matter by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, but such Party shall at all times cooperate fully with the enforcing Party.

(d)           Expense and Recoveries. The enforcing Party shall be solely responsible for the cost and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement action under Section 10.4(b) (Enforcement Right). If such Party recovers monetary damages from any Third Party in such enforcement action brought against an Infringement, such recovery shall be allocated first to the reimbursement of any expenses incurred by the Parties in such enforcement action, and any remaining amounts shall be retained by the enforcing Party, provided that, if Licensee is the enforcing Party, such remaining amounts shall be included in the Net Sales subject to the royalty payment by Licensee to Licensor under Section 9.4 (Royalty Payments).

10.5        Trademarks.

(a)            Coordination. Licensee will notify Licensor of the Trademarks and trade dress it intends to use on Products in the Licensee Territory.

(b)            Licensor Trademarks. In any country in the Licensee Territory where a Licensor Trademark is registered and Licensee in its sole discretion elects to use such Licensor Trademark:

(1)            Licensee shall comply strictly with the directions provided to Licensee by Licensor regarding the form and manner of the application of such Licensor Trademark. Apart from such Licensor Trademark, no other Trademark or logo of the Licensor may be affixed to, or used in connection with, the Products in such country. Upon advance written notice to Licensor, Licensee may register the Licensor Trademarks in any applicable country(ies) in the Licensee Territory in Licensor’s name. In connection with Licensee’s use of the Licensor Trademarks, Licensee shall comply with all applicable Laws.

(2)            Licensee shall ensure that all Products sold by Licensee carrying the Licensor Trademark and all related quotations, specifications, descriptive literature and other materials carrying the Licensor Trademark, will be marked with the appropriate trademark notices in accordance with Licensor’s instructions.

(3)            Licensee agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly: (A) take, omit to take, or permit any action which is intended to dilute the Licensor Trademark or tarnish or bring into disrepute the reputation of or goodwill associated with the Licensor Trademark or Licensor, or which is intended to invalidate or jeopardize any registration of the Licensor Trademark; or (B) apply for, or obtain, or assist any person or entity in applying for or obtaining any registration of the Licensor Trademark, or any Trademark, service xxxx, trade name, or other indicia confusingly similar to the Licensor Trademark in any country in the Licensee Territory.

(4)            Licensee may prepare, file, prosecute and maintain the Licensor Trademarks in the Licensee Territory in the name of Licensor, and Licensee may enforce and defend the Licensor Trademarks in the Licensee Territory, in each case, in its discretion and at its sole cost and expense.

(c)            Licensee Trademarks. In any countries in the Licensee Territory where a Licensor Trademark is not registered or Licensee in its sole discretion elects not to use a Licensor Trademark, Licensee will be responsible, at its sole cost, for selecting, filing and maintaining its own Trademarks for use in relation to the Commercialization of Products in such country (the “Licensee Trademarks”) and shall have sole discretion with respect to its choice of Licensee Trademarks, subject only to review and discussion at the JSC and Licensee’s obligations under Section 10.5(b) (Licensor Trademarks). Licensee shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments provided by Licensor in connection with Licensee’s choice of such trademarks and trade dress. Licensee shall own all right, title, and interest in and to any such Licensee Trademarks and assumes full responsibility, at its sole expense, for any infringement of its Licensee Trademarks by a Third Party.

10.6        Common Interest. All information exchanged between the Parties’ representatives pursuant to this Article 10 (Intellectual Property Rights) regarding the preparation, filing, Prosecution, maintenance, or enforcement of Patents and Trademarks will be the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. In addition, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, with regard to such preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance, and enforcement of the Licensed Patents and Trademarks, the interests of the Parties as licensor and licensee are to obtain the strongest patent and Trademark protection possible, and as such, are aligned and are legal in nature. The Parties agree and acknowledge that they have not waived, and nothing in this Agreement constitutes a waiver of, any legal privilege concerning such Patents, including privilege under the common interest doctrine and similar or related doctrines.

Licensee shall indemnify and hold Licensor, its Affiliates and their respective trustees, officers, directors, agents and employees (“Licensor Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any Claims against them arising or resulting from: (a) the negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Licensee Indemnitees; (b) the breach of this Agreement by Licensee, including any warranties or representations made by Licensee to Licensor under this Agreement; or (c) the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of Crofelemer, Lechlemer and/or any Product by or on behalf of Licensee or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees after the Original Agreement Effective Date; except in each case, to the extent such Claims result from the activities set forth in Section 12.1 (Indemnification by Licensor) for which Licensor is obligated to indemnify Licensee Indemnitees.

12.3        Indemnification Procedure. If either Party is seeking indemnification under Sections 12.1 (Indemnification by Licensor) or 12.2 (Indemnification by Licensee) (the “Indemnified Party”), it shall inform the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the Claim giving rise to the obligation to indemnify pursuant to such Section as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving notice of the Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any such Claim for which it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party’s insurer as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, and at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate, at its own expense and with counsel of its choice, in the defense of any Claim that has been assumed by the Indemnifying Party. Neither Party shall have the obligation to indemnify the other Party in connection with any settlement made without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Parties cannot agree as to the application of Section 12.1 (Indemnification by Licensor) or 12.2 (Indemnification by Licensee) to any Claim, pending resolution of the dispute pursuant to Section 15.4 (Arbitration and Claims), the Parties may conduct separate defenses of such Claims, with each Party retaining the right to claim indemnification from the other Party in accordance with Section 12.1 (Indemnification by Licensor) or 12.2 (Indemnification by Licensee) upon resolution of the underlying Claim.

NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES (INCLUDING CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL LOSS OF PROFIT, LOSS OF OPPORTUNITY OR LOSS OF USE) ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 12.5 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY) IS INTENDED TO OR SHALL LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY PARTY UNDER SECTION 12.1 (INDEMNIFICATION BY LICENSOR) OR 12.2 (INDEMNIFICATION BY LICENSEE), OR DAMAGES AVAILABLE FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS IN ARTICLE 13 (CONFIDENTIALITY; PUBLICATION).

Licensee shall procure insurance or self-insure at its own expense. Licensee shall name Licensor and its subsidiaries and affiliates as an additional insured on each such policy. Such insurance does not create a limit of Licensee’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 12 (Indemnification; Liability; Insurance). Licensee shall provide Licensor with written evidence of such insurance or self-insurance upon request. In the event of any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of such insurance, Licensee will take all necessary steps to ensure continuity of coverage and provide to Licensor written disclosure thirty (30) days in advance of such cancellation or non-renewal.

13.          Confidentiality; Publication

13.1        Duty of Confidence. Subject to the other provisions of this Article 13 (Confidentiality; Publication):

(a)            all Confidential Information disclosed by a Party (the “Disclosing Party”) or its Affiliates under this Agreement shall be maintained in confidence and otherwise safeguarded by the recipient Party (the “Receiving Party”), in the same manner and with the same protection as such Receiving Party maintains its own confidential information;

(b)            the Receiving Party may only use any such Confidential Information for the purposes of performing its obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement;

(c)            the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party to: (i) its Affiliates and sublicensees; and (ii) employees, directors, agents, contractors, consultants and advisers of the Receiving Party and its Affiliates and sublicensees, (iii) to such Party’s directors, attorneys, independent accountants or financial advisors for the sole purpose of enabling such directors, attorneys, independent accountants or financial advisors to provide advice to such Party, in each case to the extent reasonably necessary for the purposes of, and for those matters undertaken pursuant to, this Agreement; provided that such Persons are bound to maintain the confidentiality of, and non-use obligations in respect of, the Confidential Information in a manner consistent with the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement; and

(d)            the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party to actual or potential investors, acquirers, collaborators, licensees, sublicensees and other financial or commercial partners solely for the purpose of evaluating or carrying out an actual or potential investment, acquisition, collaboration or licensing or sublicensing arrangement in connection with the Receiving Party; provided that such Persons are bound to maintain the confidentiality of, and non-use obligations in respect of, the Confidential Information in a manner consistent with the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, provided that the duration may be shorter if consistent with applicable industry norms.

13.2        Exceptions. The foregoing obligations in Section 13.1 (Duty of Confidence) shall not apply to the extent that the Receiving Party can demonstrate that such Confidential Information:

(a)            is known by the Receiving Party at the time of its receipt without an obligation of confidentiality, and not through a prior disclosure by the Disclosing Party, as documented by the Receiving Party’s business records;

(b)            is in the public domain before its receipt from the Disclosing Party, or thereafter enters the public domain through no fault of the Receiving Party;

(c)            is subsequently disclosed to the Receiving Party by a Third Party who may lawfully do so and is not under an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party; or

(d)            is developed by the Receiving Party independently and without use of, or reference to, any Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party, as documented by the Receiving Party’s business records.

Any combination of features or disclosures shall not be deemed to fall within the foregoing exclusions merely because individual features are published or available to the general public or in the rightful possession of the Receiving Party unless the combination itself and principle of operation are published or available to the general public or in the rightful possession of the Receiving Party.

13.3        Authorized Disclosures. Notwithstanding the obligations set forth in Sections 13.1 (Duty of Confidence) and 13.5 (Security Exchange Disclosures), a Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to the extent such disclosure is required by Law, judicial or administrative process, provided that in such event the Receiving Party shall promptly inform the Disclosing Party of such required disclosure and provide the Disclosing Party an opportunity to challenge or limit the disclosure obligations. Confidential Information that is disclosed pursuant to this Section 13.3 (Authorized Disclosures) shall remain otherwise subject to the confidentiality and non-use provisions of this Article 13 (Confidentiality; Publication), and the Receiving Party disclosing Confidential Information pursuant to Law or court order shall take all steps reasonably necessary, including seeking of confidential treatment or a protective order to ensure the continued confidential treatment of such Confidential Information.

13.4        Technical Publication. The Parties shall ensure that all publications, and other forms of public disclosure such as abstracts and presentations, of results of studies carried out under this Agreement or otherwise relating to any Product in the Licensee Territory and the Licensor Territory (each of the foregoing, a “Publication”) comply with the strategy established by the JSC pursuant to Section 4.1(c)(5). Neither Party nor their Affiliates shall submit for publication, publish or present a Publication without the opportunity for prior review and comment by the other Party, except to the extent required by Laws. A Party seeking, or whose Affiliate is seeking, to submit, publish or present a Publication shall provide the JSC with a written copy of the Publication for an opportunity to approve, review and comment on the proposed Publication at least thirty (30) days before its intended submission for publication or presentation. The JSC shall provide the Party seeking, or whose Affiliate is seeking, to publish or present with its comments in writing, if any, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such proposed Publication. The Party seeking, or whose Affiliate is seeking, to publish or present shall consider in good faith any comments thereto provided by the JSC and shall comply with the JSC’s request to remove any and all of such other Party’s Confidential Information from the proposed Publication. In addition, the Party seeking, or whose Affiliate is seeking, to publish or present shall delay the submission for a period of up to thirty (30) days if the non-publishing Party on the JSC can demonstrate reasonable need for such delay to prepare and file a patent application for which it has prosecution control pursuant to this Agreement. For clarity, a Party seeking to publish or present a Publication shall not have the right to publish or present such Publication without the JSC’s written approval. The Party seeking, or whose Affiliate is seeking, to publish or present shall provide the other Party a copy of the manuscript, abstract or presentation at the time of the submission or presentation, as applicable. Each Party agrees to acknowledge the contributions of the other Party and its Affiliates and their employees in all Publications, as scientifically appropriate.

13.5        Security Exchange Disclosures. Subject to Section 13.3 (Authorized Disclosures) above, neither Party shall disclose the terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) except as may be required by applicable Law in accordance with the requirements of this Section 13.5 (Security Exchange Disclosures). A Party may disclose the terms of this Agreement in securities filings with the Securities Exchange Commission (or equivalent foreign agency) to the extent required by applicable Law after complying with the procedure set forth in this Section 13.5 (Security Exchange Disclosures). In such event, the Party seeking such disclosure shall prepare a draft confidential treatment request and redacted version of this Agreement to request confidential treatment for this Agreement, and the other Party agrees to promptly (and in any event, no less than five (5) days after receipt of such confidential treatment request and proposed redactions) give its input in a reasonable manner in order to allow the Party seeking disclosure to file its request within the time lines proscribed by applicable Law. The Party seeking such disclosure shall exercise reasonable endeavors to obtain confidential treatment of the Agreement from the Securities Exchange Commission (or equivalent foreign agency) as represented by the redacted version reviewed by the other Party.

13.6        Press Release and Use of Names. Each Party shall not make any public announcement concerning the entry into this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party. Each Party shall have the right to use the other Party’s name and logo in presentations, the company’s website, collateral materials, corporate overviews and other public disclosures contemplated by Sections 13.3 (Authorized Disclosures) and 13.5 (Security Exchange Disclosures), in each case only to describe the licensing relationship. Any other use by a Party of the other Party’s name and logo shall be subject to such other Party’s prior written consent.

14.           Term, Cancellation and Termination

14.1        Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence upon the Original Agreement Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Article 14 (Term, Cancellation and Termination), shall remain in effect, on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis, until the expiration of the Royalty Term for such Product in such country and expires in its entirety upon the expiration of the Royalty Term for the last Product in the last country in the Licensee Territory (the “Term”). Upon the expiration (but not earlier termination) of the Royalty Term for a particular Product in a particular country, (a) provided that all outstanding amounts under Article 9 (Compensation) have been paid by Licensee, the license granted by Licensor to Licensee under Section 2.1 (Licensor Grant to Licensee) for such Product in such country shall continue and become fully-paid, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable and (b) the license granted by Licensee to Licensor under Section 2.2 (Licensee Grant to Licensor) for such Product in such country shall continue and become fully-paid, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable.

(a)            Termination for Failure to Make Upfront Payment. If Licensee fails to make the Upfront Payment on or before the Upfront Payment Deadline, then Licensor shall have the right, in its sole discretion to terminate this Agreement effective on written notice of termination to Licensee.

(b)            Termination for Material Breach. If either Party believes that the other is in breach of its material obligations hereunder, then the non-breaching Party may deliver notice of such breach to the other Party, and the allegedly breaching Party shall have sixty (60) days from such notice to dispute or cure such breach.

This Agreement or any of the severable rights and obligations inuring to the benefit of or to be performed by Licensor hereunder may be assigned by Licensor to a Third Party, including its affiliates, in whole or in part, without the need to obtain Licensee’s consent thereto. Licensee may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement or delegate its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of Licensor.

15.3         Independent Contractors. In performing this Agreement, each of the Parties will operate as, and have the status of, an independent contractor. This Agreement does not create any agency, employment, partnership, joint venture, franchise or other similar or special relationship between the Parties. Neither Party will have the right or authority to assume or create any obligations or to make any representations, warranties or commitments on behalf of the other Party or its affiliates, whether express or implied, or to bind the other Party or its affiliates in any respect whatsoever.

15.4        Arbitration of Claims. All disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including its validity or a breach thereof, as well as all questions of arbitrability, shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC Rules”) by three arbitrators. Each Party shall appoint one arbitrator. If a Party fails to appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the commencement of the arbitration, such appointment shall be made by the President of the ICC International Court of Arbitration. The two arbitrators appointed in accordance with the preceding sentences shall appoint the third arbitrator, who shall be the chairperson of the tribunal. If the two arbitrators fail to appoint the third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second of the arbitrators, the appointment of the third arbitrator shall be made by the President of the ICC International Court of Arbitration.

(a)            The place, or legal seat, of the arbitration shall be New York, New York, and the language of the arbitration shall be English.

(b)            In addition to the ICC Rules, the Parties agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration, as current on the date of the commencement of any arbitration.

(c)            Subject to Section 12.5 (Limitation of Liability) above, the arbitrators shall have the power to grant any interim or provisional measures that they deem appropriate, including but not limited to injunctive relief and specific performance, and any interim or provisional measures that the arbitrators order may be specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction as a final award. Nothing herein, however, shall authorize the arbitrators to act as amiable compositeurs or to proceed ex aequo et xxxx, and the arbitrators shall have no authority to exercise rights of jura novit curia. Each party hereto retains the right to seek interim measures from a judicial authority, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with the agreement to arbitrate or a waiver of the right to arbitrate.

(d)            The arbitrators may award to the prevailing Party, if any, as determined by the arbitrators, its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

No information concerning an arbitration, beyond the names of the parties and the relief requested, may be unilaterally disclosed to a third party by any party unless required by law. Any documentary or other evidence given by a party or witness in the arbitration shall be treated as confidential by any party whose access to such evidence arises exclusively as a result of its participation in the arbitration, and shall not be disclosed to any third party (other than a witness or expert), except as may be required by law. Any party who commences any judicial proceeding in connection with an arbitration initiated hereunder shall endeavor to have the judicial record of any such proceeding sealed to the extent permitted by law.

15.5         Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

15.6        Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or portion thereof is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or declared under any law, rule or regulation of any government having jurisdiction over the Parties hereto, to be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, then such provision will, to the extent permitted by the court or government not be voided but will instead be construed to give effect to its intent to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect according to its terms.

15.7        Entire Agreement; Modification; Waiver. This Agreement, including the Exhibits, together with the IFD Product Supply and Technology Transfer Agreement, the Non-IFD Product Supply Agreement, the Non-IFD Product Technology Transfer Agreement, the Pharmacovigilance Agreement (each when executed) and any other documents delivered pursuant hereto or thereto constitute the entire agreement of the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous, written or oral negotiations, correspondence, understandings and agreements, between the Parties respecting the subject matter of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement amends, restates, supersedes and replaces the Original Agreement in its entirety. No supplement, modification or amendment to this Agreement shall be binding unless evidenced by a writing signed by an authorized officer of each Party. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed, or shall constitute, a waiver of any other provision, whether or not similar, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. No waiver shall be binding unless executed in writing by the Party making the waiver.

15.8        Execution; Counterparts. This Agreement shall not be binding in whole or in part upon the Parties unless and until duly executed by or on behalf of both Parties hereto, in which event this Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original instrument enforceable in accordance with its terms and all of which shall constitute but one and the same agreement of the Parties.

15.9        Further Assurances. Each Party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other Party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

15.10      Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement. Each Party (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver, and (b) acknowledges that it and the other Parties have been induced to enter into this Agreement, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 15.10.
