(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Adamis, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Xxxxxx and its Affiliates an exclusive (even as to Adamis and its Affiliates), sub-licensable license under the Trademark, to use and display the Trademark solely in connection with the sale, offer for sale, distribution, promotion, marketing, or other commercial exploitation of the Product in the Territory. All uses by Xxxxxx and its Affiliates and sub-licensees of the Trademark shall be in compliance with all Applicable Laws and shall be in accordance with such commercially reasonable quality standards as used by Xxxxxx for comparable products. In all packaging, labeling, advertising, promotional and other material of Xxxxxx and its Affiliates and sub-licensees referencing the Trademark, Xxxxxx and its Affiliates and sub-licensees shall not, without Adamis’s written consent: (i) vary the spelling, add or delete hyphens, abbreviate, make one word two, or use a possessive or plural form of the Trademark; (ii) modify the design, add or delete any elements or words, change any colors or proportion of the Trademark; (iii) use the Trademark in a manner that disparages Adamis or any of its products or services; or (iv) use the Trademark in a manner that interferes with or adversely affects Adamis’ use of the Trademark; in each case except to the extent required by Applicable Laws, provided that Xxxxxx will review and discuss with Adamis any such exceptions required by Applicable Laws before using the Trademark pursuant to such exception. At the request of Adamis, Xxxxxx will provide from time to time copies of packaging, labeling, advertising, promotional and other material of Xxxxxx or its Affiliates or sub-licensees referencing the Trademark to allow Adamis to confirm compliance with the foregoing.

(d) Any and all sublicenses to non-Affiliates granted under any license set forth in this Section 7.1 shall require the prior written consent of Adamis, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any and all sublicenses granted under any license set forth in this Section 7.1 and distribution agreements or subcontracts for commercialization of the Product in the Territory shall be in writing and shall be subject to, and consistent with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Xxxxxx shall be responsible for the compliance of its Affiliates, sub-licensees, distributors and subcontractors with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Within thirty (30) days after execution, Xxxxxx shall provide Adamis with a full and complete copy of each agreement granting a sub-license under any license set forth in this Section 7.1 to any Third Party or appointing any Third Party as a distributor or subcontractor for commercialization of the Product in the Territory (provided that Xxxxxx may redact any confidential information contained therein that is not necessary to confirm compliance with this Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing obligations do not apply to direct and indirect purchase and sale agreements between Xxxxxx and its customers.

7.2 Patent Filings. Upon agreement by the Parties, Adamis shall prepare and file any and all patent applications relating to, underlying or arising out of the Licensed Technology and shall take any other similar actions to secure, maintain, enhance, protect or perfect the intellectual property rights related to the Licensed Technology.

Upon a Party learning of any infringement or threatened infringement of any Licensed Technology in the Territory, such Party shall promptly inform the other Party in writing of any such infringement and shall supply such other Party with all evidence pertaining to such infringement in such Party’s possession. In the event of any infringement or threatened infringement of the Licensed Technology by a Third Party in the Territory, Xxxxxx shall have the first right to file an action against any such infringing Third Party or seek abatement of the infringement by such Third Party at Xxxxxx’ sole cost and expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Adamis shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. Adamis shall fully cooperate with Xxxxxx in any action brought by Xxxxxx, including by being joined as a party. In the event Xxxxxx does not file an action or seek abatement within (a) seventy-five (75) days following the notice of alleged infringement or (b) ten (10) days before the time limit, if any, set forth in the Applicable Laws, whichever comes first, then Adamis shall have the right, but not the obligation, to file an action against any such infringing Third Party or seek abatement of the infringement by such Third Party at Adamis’ sole cost and expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Xxxxxx shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. Xxxxxx shall make reasonable efforts to promptly notify Adamis in writing if Xxxxxx decides not to file an action or seek abatement. Xxxxxx shall fully cooperate with Adamis in such action, including by being joined as a party. Except as otherwise agreed to by the Parties as part of a cost-sharing arrangement, any recovery or damages realized as a result of such action or proceeding with respect to Licensed Technology shall be used first to reimburse the documented Out-of-Pocket Expenses relating to the action or proceeding that were incurred by the Party that brought and controlled the action or proceeding, any remaining compensatory damages relating to the Product (including lost sales or lost profits with respect to the Product) shall be retained by the Party that brought and controlled such action or proceeding, , and any punitive damages shall be equally shared by the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Party bringing such action shall indemnify and reimburse the other Party for all reasonable Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred by the other Party in connection with the action initiated pursuant to this Section 7.3, and (ii) if Xxxxxx brought and controlled the proceeding, the remaining compensatory damages (i.e., after reimbursement of its documented Out-of-Pocket Expenses) shall be included in Net Profits and subject to the provisions of Section 5.5.

7.4 Infringement of Third Parties’ Rights; Certain Generic Drug Filings.

(a) In the event of any claim by a Third Party, or if either Party determines, that the manufacture, sale, offer for sale, distribution, promotion, marketing, other commercial exploitation or use of the Product by Xxxxxx or its Affiliate or sub-licensee infringes the intellectual property rights of a Third Party, Xxxxxx shall have the sole right and obligation, so long as rights to such Product are licensed to Xxxxxx hereunder, to defend and indemnify Adamis Indemnitees from and against such claim at Xxxxxx’x expense, including any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to such claim. If Adamis is put on notice of any such claim or makes any such determination of infringement, Adamis shall provide prompt notice to Xxxxxx of any such claim or determination. Adamis agrees to assist and cooperate with Xxxxxx in resolving any such claim. The procedures for indemnification under this Section 7.4 shall be the same as those set forth in Section 10.3. Xxxxxx shall reimburse Adamis for all reasonable Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred by Adamis in the course of providing requested assistance and cooperation in accordance with this Section 7.4(a).

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, Xxxxxx and its attorneys, in consultation with Adamis and its attorneys, shall prepare any certifications or notices required to be filed or delivered to the FDA, other applicable Regulatory Authority or Third Party in connection with obtaining Regulatory Approval for the Product that requires an assessment as to whether the manufacture, use and sale of the Product would infringe any valid Third Party patent listed with the FDA or such other applicable Regulatory Authority, including, without limitation, such certifications and notices required pursuant to Sections 505(j)(2)(A) and (B) of the U.S. Food Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended. Adamis agrees to assist and cooperate with Xxxxxx in preparation of such certifications and notices. As requested by Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx shall incorporate, as applicable, such certifications and notices as prepared by Xxxxxx in the NDA and other Regulatory Dossiers to be filed by Adamis or in notices to be filed with Third Parties as required by Applicable Law. Xxxxxx shall have the sole right and authority to determine whether any patent held by a Third Party in the Territory shall be challenged in connection with the pursuit of any Regulatory Approval and shall have the sole right with prior notice to and consultation with Adamis to control all decisions that relate to or could impact such patent challenge (including, without limitation, appointment of counsel, strategies related to the prosecution of the Regulatory Approval or any related litigation and defense of any litigation or claim of infringement). Xxxxxx shall reimburse Adamis for all reasonable Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred by Adamis in the course of providing its assistance and cooperation in accordance with this Section 7.4(b).

7.5 Improvements to the Licensed Technology. The Parties hereby agree that any improvements to the Licensed Technology made by either Party or jointly by the Parties shall be owned solely by Adamis, with such improvements becoming part of the Licensed Technology, so that Xxxxxx and its Affiliates shall have the sole and exclusive right to use such improvements in the Territory with respect to the Product during the Term. Xxxxxx shall and hereby does assign to Adamis any and all right title and interest of Xxxxxx or its Affiliates in any such improvements to the Licensed Technology, and Xxxxxx and its Affiliates shall, at Adamis’ request and expense, execute such documents and perform such acts as Adamis may deem reasonably necessary to confirm Adamis’ right, title and interest in and to any improvements to the Licensed Technology, and to enable and assist Adamis in procuring, maintaining, enforcing and defending patents, copyrights and other statutory protections with respect to such improvements to the Licensed Technology.

7.6 Trademark.

(a) Adamis shall own and shall retain the ownership of the entire right, title and interest in and to the Trademark and goodwill related thereto. Xxxxxx acknowledges, as between the parties, the exclusive right, title and interest of Adamis in and to the Trademark and goodwill related thereto and will not do or cause to be done any act or thing contesting or, in any way, impairing any part of said right, title and interest for the Term and after its expiration. Xxxxxx will not, and will require that its Affiliates and sub-licensees not, make any representations or take any actions, which may be taken to indicate that it has any right title or interest in or to the ownership or use of the Trademark except under the terms of this Agreement, and acknowledges that nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Xxxxxx or any of its Affiliates or sub-licensees any right, title or interest in or to the Trademark and goodwill related thereto except the license rights granted under Section 7.1(c).

(b) Upon request by Adamis, Xxxxxx shall, and shall require its Affiliates and sub-licensees to, provide information to Adamis or its authorized representative as to its use of the Trademark and to render any assistance reasonably required by Adamis or its authorized representative to secure and/or maintain the registration(s) of the Trademark in the Territory.

(c) Xxxxxx shall notify Adamis of any adverse use by a Third Party of the Trademark or of a xxxx or name confusingly similar to the Trademark. Xxxxxx agrees, and will require its Affiliates and sub-licensees to agree, to take no action with respect thereto except with the prior written authorization of Adamis. Adamis may thereupon take such action as it in its sole discretion deems advisable for the protection of its rights in and to the Trademark, including, without limitation, allowing Xxxxxx to bring and prosecute a claim against such Third Party at Xxxxxx’x expense, if Xxxxxx chooses to do so. Xxxxxx further agrees to provide full cooperation with any legal or equitable action by Adamis to protect Adamis’ right, title and interest in the Trademark. The Party responsible for bringing and prosecuting any infringement proceedings with respect to the Trademark and for the expenses associated with such proceedings shall have the sole right to retain any damages recovered in such proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Party bringing such action shall indemnify and reimburse the other Party for all reasonable Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred by the other Party in connection with the action initiated pursuant to this Section 7.6, and (ii) if Xxxxxx brought and controlled the proceeding, the remaining damages received (i.e., after reimbursement of its documented Out-of-Pocket Expenses) shall be included in Net Profits and subject to the provisions of Section 5.5.

ARTICLE 8
CONFIDENTIALITY AND PUBLIC DISCLOSURE

8.1 Confidentiality. Each Party shall treat as confidential the Confidential Information of the other Party, and shall take all necessary precautions to assure the confidentiality of such Confidential Information. Each Party agrees to return to the other Party upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement all Confidential Information of such other Party, except as to such information it may be required to retain under Applicable Law, except for (a) one (1) copy of such Confidential Information to be retained by such Party’s legal department and (b) copies of laboratory books which Adamis shall require to keep for audits and inspections (in each case, which information which shall remain subject to ongoing obligations of confidentiality). During the Term and for a period of [*] ([*]) years following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, neither Party shall, without the other Party’s express prior written consent, use or disclose any such Confidential Information of the other Party for any purpose other than to carry out its obligations hereunder and under any other written agreement between the Parties. Each Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party to any Affiliates, actual and potential sub-licensees, employees, consultants, contractors or agents of such Party who have a need to know such information in order for such Party to exercise its rights or fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, provided that prior to disclosure of such Confidential Information of the other Party to any Affiliate, actual or potential sub-licensee, employee, consultant, contractor or agent, the Party making such disclosure shall ensure that such Person is bound in writing to observe obligations of confidentiality and non-use consistent with the provisions of this Article 8. Notwithstanding the obligations of confidentiality set forth in this Section 8.1, the receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing Party to the extent that such disclosure is required by Applicable Law or a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that the receiving Party shall so notify the disclosing Party of its intent (so as to provide the disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to seek relief from such required disclosure) and cooperate with the disclosing Party on reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information. Any such information disclosed as permitted by this Section 8.1 shall still be deemed Confidential Information and subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

8.2 Public Disclosure. Except for such disclosure that is deemed necessary in the reasonable judgment of either Party to comply with Applicable Law, no public announcement, news release, statement, publication or presentation relating to the existence of this Agreement, the subject matter hereof or either Party’s performance hereunder shall be made without the other Party’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event that the Parties mutually agree in writing to issue a public announcement, news release, statement, publication or presentation, the Parties agree that they shall use reasonable efforts to coordinate the initial public announcement, news release, statement, publication or presentation relating to the existence of this Agreement so that such public announcement, news release, statement, publication or presentation by each is made contemporaneously. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall be obligated to issue any public announcement, news release, statement, publication or presentation in connection herewith. Each Party may make any public statement in response to questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst calls, or issue press releases, so long as any such public statement or press release is not inconsistent with prior public disclosures or public statements made in accordance with this Section 8.2 and which do not reveal non-public information about the other Party.

8.3 Filing of this Agreement. The Parties will coordinate in advance with each other in connection with the filing of this Agreement (including redaction of certain provisions of this Agreement) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or any stock exchange or governmental agency on which securities issued by a Party or its Affiliate are traded, and each Party will use reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment for the terms proposed to be redacted; provided that each Party will ultimately retain control over what information to disclose to the SEC or any stock exchange or other governmental agency, as the case may be, and provided further that the Parties will use their reasonable efforts to file redacted versions with any governing bodies which are consistent with redacted versions previously filed with any other governing bodies. Other than such obligation, neither Party (nor its Affiliates) will be obligated to consult with or obtain approval from the other Party with respect to any filings to the SEC or any stock exchange or other Governmental Authority.

8.4 Prior Nondisclosure Agreement. As of the Effective Date, the terms of this Article 8 shall supersede any prior non-disclosure, secrecy or confidentiality agreement between the Parties (or their Affiliates) dealing with the subject of this Agreement. Any information disclosed pursuant to any such prior agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement.

8.5 Equitable Relief. Given the nature of the Confidential Information and the competitive damage that a Party would suffer upon unauthorized disclosure, use or transfer of its Confidential Information to any Third Party, the parties agree that monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article 8. In addition to all other remedies, a Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief as a remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Article 8.

ARTICLE 10
INDEMNIFICATION; INSURANCE; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

10.1 By Xxxxxx. Xxxxxx agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Adamis and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents and successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “Adamis Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all costs, losses, liability and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) (“Losses”) incurred by any Adamis Indemnitee resulting from claims made by any Third Party to the extent relating to or arising out of (a) the manufacture, marketing, distribution, sale, offer for sale, promotion or other commercial exploitation of the Product by Xxxxxx, including, without limitation, the infringement of any Third Party’s intellectual property matters, as set forth under Section 7.4, (b) a breach of any obligation, covenant, representation or warranty by Xxxxxx contained in this Agreement or (c) any negligent, grossly negligent or intentionally wrongful act or omission of Xxxxxx or its directors, officers or employees, in each case, except to the extent to, or for matters for, which Adamis would be required to indemnify Xxxxxx Indemnitees under Section 10.2.

10.2 By Adamis. Adamis agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Xxxxxx and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents and successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “Xxxxxx Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred by any Xxxxxx Indemnitee resulting from claims made by any Third Party to the extent relating to or arising out of (a) performance of Development Services by Adamis, (b) a breach of any obligation, covenant, representation or warranty by Adamis contained in this Agreement or (c) any negligent, grossly negligent or intentionally wrongful act or omission of Adamis or its directors, officers, employees or agents, in each case, except to the extent to, or for matters for, which Xxxxxx would be required to indemnify Adamis Indemnitees under Section 10.1.

10.3 Procedures for Control of Third Party Claims. The Adamis Indemnitee or Xxxxxx Indemnitee, as applicable, entitled to make a claim for indemnification under this Article 10 shall be referred to as the “Indemnified Party” and the Party required to indemnify such claim shall be referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.” In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand, made by any Third Party against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the Third Party Claim within thirty (30) business days after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, upon notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense thereof; provided, that (i) the Indemnifying Party’s counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter consult with the Indemnified Party upon the Indemnified Party’s reasonable request for such consultation from time to time with respect to such suit, action or proceeding.

The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof, but the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party defends or prosecutes any Third Party Claim, the Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees or any other Indemnified Party available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to settle a Third Party Claim so long as such settlement does not impose any obligation or burden (including loss of goodwill) on the Indemnified Party. In no event shall the Indemnifying Party settle any Third Party Claim if such settlement would impose any obligation or burden on the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

10.4 Insurance. For the Term and for a period of two (2) years after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Xxxxxx agrees to obtain and maintain (including through a self-insurance program) comprehensive general liability insurance, including Products Liability, Bodily Injury and Property Damage Insurance with a combined single limit of not less than $[*] per occurrence and $[*] in the aggregate annually.

(b) Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, the expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve either Party of any obligation (including, without limitation, any payment obligation with respect to Net Sales of Product manufactured before the date of termination, but sold after the date of termination) or liability accruing prior to such expiration or termination, nor shall the expiration or termination of this Agreement preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity, with respect to breach of this Agreement.

(b) The arbitrators shall, within fifteen (15) days after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing, issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The decision or award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and non-appealable, and judgment may be entered upon it in any court of competent jurisdiction. Either Party may apply for interim injunctive relief with the arbitrators until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. The arbitrators shall be authorized to award compensatory damages, but shall not be authorized (i) to award non-economic damages, (ii) to award punitive damages or any other damages expressly excluded under this Agreement, or (iii) to reform, modify or materially change this Agreement or any other agreements contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that the damage limitations described in subsections (i) and (ii) of this sentence will not apply if such damages are statutorily imposed.

(c) Each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the arbitrators; provided, however, the arbitrators shall be authorized to determine whether a Party is the prevailing Party, and at their discretion, to award to that prevailing Party reimbursement for its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges, travel expenses, etc.), and/or the fees and costs of the AAA and the arbitrators.

12.3 Court Actions. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall deny either Party the right to seek, upon good cause, injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in the context of an emergency or prospective irreparable harm, and such an action may be filed and maintained notwithstanding any ongoing dispute resolution discussions or arbitration proceedings. In addition, either Party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to resolve disputes pertaining to the validity, construction, scope, enforceability, infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights, and no such claim shall be subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 12.2.

This Agreement, together with all exhibits and schedules attached hereto, contains the complete agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

13.10 Force Majeure. Each of the Parties hereto shall be excused from the performance of its obligations hereunder (except for payment obligations) in the event such performance is prevented by force majeure, provided that each of the Parties shall use reasonable commercial efforts to complete such performance by other means. Causes beyond the control of Adamis or Xxxxxx include but are not limited to acts of God, acts or laws of any government, war, civil commotion, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, earthquake or storm, labor disturbances, epidemic and failure of public utilities or common carriers.

EXHIBIT A

MILESTONE PAYMENTS

Xxxxxx will make the following Milestone Payments to Adamis within 30 days of each of the following events:

$[*] upon execution of this Agreement (“Execution Milestone Payment”);

$[*] upon the [*] of the 0.3mg Product in the Territory (“[*]”);

$[*];

$[*] upon the [*] of the [*] Product in the Territory (“[*]”);

$[*];

$[*]; and

$[*].

Notwithstanding the foregoing,

(A)

If the NDA for the 0.3mg Product has not received final marketing approval by [*](the “Approval Deadline”), Xxxxxx shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Adamis no later than [*] ([*]) days after the Approval Deadline and receive a full refund from Adamis of the Execution Milestone Payment. If the NDA has not received FDA approval by the Approval Deadline and Xxxxxx has not provided notice of termination pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then Adamis will not be required to refund the Execution Milestone Payment.

(B)

If the first commercial sale of the 0.3mg Product in the Territory has not occurred by [*] (the “Launch Deadline”), and the Launch Deadline is not missed as a result of matters within the reasonable control of Xxxxxx, then the [*] shall not become payable by Xxxxxx upon the achievement of the specified event. For the avoidance of doubt, a decision to delay the launch of the Product as a result of threatened or pending intellectual property litigation or other legal concerns that could be reasonably expected to impede marketing efforts, shall not be a matter within the reasonable control of Xxxxxx.

(C)

If the NDA for the [*] Product has not received final marketing approval by [*], or such later date as agreed in writing by the Parties (the “Supplement Approval Deadline”) then the [*] shall not become payable by Xxxxxx upon the achievement of the specified event.
