If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend or, if local procedural rules or laws do not permit the same, elects to control the defense of a Third Party Claim, it shall be entitled to do so provided it gives notice to the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the written notice from the Indemnified Party of the potentially indemnifiable Third Party Claim (the “Litigation Condition”); provided, that the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for satisfying and discharging any award made to the Third Party as a result of such proceedings or settlement amount agreed with the Third Party in respect of the Third Party Claim without prejudice to any provision in this Agreement or right at law which will allow the Indemnifying Party subsequently to recover any amount from the Indemnified Party to the extent the liability under such settlement or award was attributable to the Indemnified Party. Subject to compliance with the Litigation Condition, the Indemnifying Party shall retain counsel reasonably
21
acceptable to the Indemnified Party (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, refused, conditioned or delayed) to represent the Indemnified Party and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall not settle any claim for which it is seeking indemnification without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, refused, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnified Party shall, if requested by the Indemnifying Party, cooperate in all reasonable respects in the defense of such claim that is being managed and/or controlled by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, refused, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in which the Indemnified Party is, or based on the same set of facts could have been, a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by the Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. If the Litigation Condition is not met, then neither Party shall have the right to control the defense of such Third Party Claim and the Parties shall cooperate in and be consulted on the material aspects of such defense at the each Party’s own expense; provided that if the Indemnifying Party does not satisfy the Litigation Condition, the Indemnifying Party may at any subsequent time during the pendency of the relevant Third Party Claim irrevocably elect, if permitted by local procedural rules or laws, to defend and/or to control the defense of the relevant Third Party Claim so long as the Indemnifying Party also agrees to pay the reasonable fees and costs incurred by the Indemnified Party in relation to the defense of such Third Party Claim from the inception of the Third Party Claim until the date the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense or control thereof.
11.4 Assumption of Defense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim with respect to the Indemnified Party, upon written notice to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 11.4, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of liability under Section 11.1 or 11.2, as applicable, solely for such Third Party Claim and related Losses.
11.5 Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, INCLUDING GSK AND ITS AFFILIATES, FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS OR GOODWILL) SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY SUCH OTHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES, INCLUDING GSK AND ITS AFFILIATES, AND ANY PERSON IN PRIVITY WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING, IN CONNECTION WITH A BREACH OR ALLEGED BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT. FOR AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE FOREGOING SENTENCE SHALL NOT LIMIT THE OBLIGATIONS OF EITHER PARTY TO INDEMNIFY THE OTHER PARTY OR GSK UNDER THIS ARTICLE 11 FROM AND AGAINST CLAIMS OF THIRD PARTIES, OTHER THAN ANY PERSON IN PRIVITY WITH ANY PARTY, GSK OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES.
11.6 Insurance. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years after its termination, each Party shall obtain and/or maintain, respectively, at its sole cost and
22
expense, liability insurance in amounts, respectively, required by applicable Laws, but in no event less than $10,000,000. Such liability insurance shall insure against all liability, including personal injury, physical injury, or property damage arising out of the manufacture, sale, distribution, or marketing of the Drug Product. Each Party shall provide written proof of the existence of such insurance to the other Party upon request.
ARTICLE 12

Any such termination shall become effective at the end of such 60-day period (10-day period if solely monetary defaults) unless the Breaching Party has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of such 60-day period (10-day period if solely monetary defaults).
12.2.2 Termination for Force Majeure Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event a Force Majeure Event shall have occurred and be continuing for one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days, either Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon written notice to the Party suffering such Force Majeure Event; provided, that such termination shall not be deemed a breach by the Party suffering such Force Majeure Event.
12.2.3 Termination for Reasons of Insolvency or Termination of Business Activities. Either Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement if the other Party becomes insolvent or is the subject of a petition in bankruptcy whether voluntary or involuntary or of any other proceeding under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, is named in such a petition, or its property is subject to a suit for the appointment of a receiver, or is dissolved or liquidated. Such termination right may be exercised without the need for written notice within thirty (30) days following the date as of which the Party entitled to terminate receives knowledge of such insolvency or termination of business activities by the other Party.

Neither Party shall have any responsibility for the hiring, termination or compensation of the other Party’s employees or for any employee benefits of such employee. No employee or representative of a Party shall have any authority to bind or obligate the other Party to this Agreement for any sum or in any manner whatsoever, or to create or impose any contractual or other liability on the other Party without such Party’s approval. For all purposes, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, PII’s legal relationship under this Agreement to Adolor shall be that of independent contractor.

Nothing contained in this Section 14.2 is intended to be an implied license to or waiver of any patent or other intellectual property right.
25
14.3 Force Majeure. The occurrence of an event which materially interferes with the ability of a Party to perform its obligations or duties hereunder which is not within the reasonable control of the Party affected or any of its Affiliates, not due to malfeasance by such Party or its Affiliates, and which could not with the exercise of due diligence have been avoided (each, a “Force Majeure Event”), including an injunction, order or action by a Governmental Authority, fire, accident, labor difficulty, strike, riot, civil commotion, act of God, inability to obtain materials, delay or errors by shipping companies or change in applicable Laws, shall not excuse such Party from the performance of its obligations or duties under this Agreement, but shall merely suspend such performance during the continuation of the Force Majeure Event. The Party prevented from performing its obligations or duties because of a Force Majeure Event shall promptly notify the other Party of the occurrence and particulars of such Force Majeure Event and shall provide the other Party, from time to time, with its best estimate of the duration of such Force Majeure Event and with notice of the termination thereof. The Party so affected shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance as soon as is reasonably practicable. Upon termination of the Force Majeure Event, the performance of any suspended obligation or duty shall promptly recommence. The Party subject to the Force Majeure Event shall not be liable to the other Party or any Third Party for any direct, indirect, consequential, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary or other damages arising out of or relating to the suspension or termination of any of its obligations or duties under this Agreement by reason of the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, provided such Party complies in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 14.3.

The UNCITRAL Convention for the International Sale of Goods, as well as any other unified Law relating to the conclusion and implementation of contracts for the international sale of goods, shall not apply.
14.5 Jurisdiction. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement shall be brought in the courts of the State of Delaware or of the United States District Court for District of Delaware, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Party hereby irrevocably accepts the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each Party hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such court lacks jurisdiction over it or to the laying of venue, and agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement brought in any of the aforesaid courts, that any such court lacks jurisdiction over it or any such action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
14.6 Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by either Party without the prior consent of the other Party; provided, however, that Adolor may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any of its Affiliates if Adolor guarantees the performance of this Agreement by such Affiliate; and provided further, that Adolor may assign this Agreement to a successor to all or substantially all of the assets or line of business to which this Agreement relates whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or other similar transaction.
