actions, at XxxxxxXxxxx’x sole cost and expense, to maintain the Licensed Patents and shall

5. Infringement of Licensed Patents.
5.1 Conduct of Actions. If either Party shall receive notice of any infringement or
threatened infringement of any of the Licensed Patents, such Party shall immediately notify the
other Party of such infringement or threatened infringement, providing all information relating
thereto possessed by the notifying Party. Except as provided below, XxxxxxXxxxx may initiate and
control any legal action relating to infringement of any of the Licensed Patents; provided,
however, that (i) XxxxxxXxxxx shall keep Kef fully apprised of all activity in such action, (ii)
Kef shall have the right to participate in such action at its own expense, (iii) XxxxxxXxxxx shall
not take any position in such action inconsistent with Kef’s exclusive license under the Licensed
Patents and (iv) no settlement of any such action shall be made without the consent of Kef, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If XxxxxxXxxxx fails to promptly initiate legal
action relating to any such infringement of any of the Licensed Patents, or if the Sublicense shall

Licensed Patents relating to the Keflex Products. The Parties hereby agree that either Party may
include the other as a party plaintiff in any such action and that each Party shall cooperate, at
the expense of the Party controlling the relevant legal action, in the prosecution of such action
as reasonably requested by the Party controlling such action. Any monetary recovery in connection
with such action shall first be applied to reimburse XxxxxxXxxxx and Kef for out-of-pocket expenses
(including attorneys’ fees) incurred in prosecuting such action. Any remaining monetary recovery
in such action shall be equitably divided between the Parties on the basis of their respective
damages resulting from the claimed infringement. The Party controlling any
4
legal action pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall bear all expenses of such action, other than
the fees of any counsel the other Party may engage if it chooses to participate separately in such
action.
5.2 Action Initiated Against Kef. In the event that a declaratory judgment action
alleging invalidity or infringement of any of the Licensed Patents shall be brought against Kef,
XxxxxxXxxxx, at its option, shall have the right, within thirty (30) days after commencement of
such action, to intervene and take over the sole defense of the action at its own expense.
5.3 Cooperation. In any infringement action, either Party may institute to enforce
the Licensed Patents pursuant to this Agreement, the other Party shall, at the expense of the Party
initiating such action, reasonably cooperate and, to the extent possible, have its applicable
employees testify when requested and make available relevant records, papers, information, samples,
specimens and the like.
6. Indemnification; Insurance.
6.1 Indemnification by XxxxxxXxxxx. XxxxxxXxxxx shall defend, indemnify and hold
harmless Kef from and against all liabilities, losses, obligations, claims, judgments, awards,
relief, settlements, costs and expenses (including costs of any product recall and reasonable
attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees, investigation costs and other expenses of litigation) which Kef,
its shareholders, directors, officers, employees and representatives may suffer or incur arising
out of (i) the development, manufacture, marketing, advertising, sale or use by XxxxxxXxxxx or its
successors, directly or indirectly, of the Licensed Products (excluding any such activities
conducted by Kef or its successors in connection with Keflex Products if the Sublicense should
terminate), (ii) the practice of any of the claims of any of the Licensed Patents by XxxxxxXxxxx or
any of its sub-licensees, (iii) the performance or failure of performance by XxxxxxXxxxx of the
Regulatory Obligations and (iv) the breach by XxxxxxXxxxx of this Agreement. XxxxxxXxxxx shall not
be obligated to so indemnify, defend and hold harmless Kef to the extent that any such claim,
expense, proceeding, demand or liability arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Kef.
6.2 Indemnification by Kef. Kef shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless XxxxxxXxxxx
from and against all liabilities, losses, obligations, claims, judgments, awards, relief,
settlements, costs and expenses (including costs of any product recall and reasonable attorneys’
fees, experts’ fees, investigation costs and other expenses of litigation) which XxxxxxXxxxx, its
shareholders, directors, officers, employees and representatives may suffer of incur arising out of
(i) the development, manufacture, marketing, advertising, sale or use by Kef or its successors of
the Keflex Products if the Sublicense should terminate and (ii) the breach by Kef of this
Agreement. Kef shall not be obligated to so indemnify, defend and hold harmless XxxxxxXxxxx to the
extent that any claim, expense, proceeding, demand or liability arises from the negligence or
willful misconduct of XxxxxxXxxxx.
6.3 Procedure. A Party that intends to claim indemnification under this Section 6
(“Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) of any
claim, damage, liability, cause of action or cost with respect to which the Indemnitee intends to
claim such indemnification. Indemnitor, after it determines that indemnification is required of
it, shall assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing; provided, however, that an
5
Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the expenses to be paid by
Indemnitor if Indemnitor does not assume the defense. The agreement of indemnity contained in this
Section 6 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim, damage, liability, cause of
action or cost if such settlement is effected without the consent of Indemnitor, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Indemnitor shall keep Indemnitee informed of, and consult with
Indemnitee in connection with, the progress of such litigation or settlement, and Indemnitor shall
not have the right, without Indemnitee’s written consent, to settle any such claim if such
settlement arises from or is part of any criminal action, suit or proceeding or contains a
stipulation to or admission or acknowledgement of, any liability or wrongdoing (whether in
contract, tort or otherwise) on the part of Indemnitee. The failure to deliver notice to
Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to
its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such Indemnitor of liability to the Indemnitee
under this Section 6 to the extent of such prejudice, but the omission to deliver notice to
Indemnitor will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any Indemnitee otherwise than
under this Section 6. Indemnitee shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its
employees and agents to, cooperate reasonably with Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the
investigation and defense of any claim, damage, liability, cause of action or cost covered by this
indemnification.
6.4 Limitation of Liability. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER
PROVISION HEREOF, NO PARTY NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY
OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES IN THE FORM OF CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES,
LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS OR OTHERWISE, OR FOR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, EVEN IF THE FIRST PARTY HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING
LIMITATION DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY SUCH DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE PAYABLE TO A THIRD PARTY BY A PARTY
HERETO FOR WHICH SUCH PARTY IS INDEMNIFIED HEREUNDER.
6.5 Insurance. XxxxxxXxxxx shall maintain general liability insurance under customary
pharmaceutical industry forms and endorsements, providing product liability and contractual
liability coverage, with per occurrence limits of not less than $10,000,000, which limits may be
achieved through a combination of underlying and excess policies. The insurance policies described
in the preceding sentence shall be endorsed to (i) name Kef as an additional insured and (ii) be
primary and non-contributory to any insurance otherwise available to Kef. Upon the execution of
this Agreement and at such times as Kef may request thereafter, XxxxxxXxxxx shall cause the
insurer(s) issuing such policy(ies) to provide Kef with certificates of insurance evidencing the
existence of such insurance, Kef’s status as an additional insured and the primary and
non-contributory nature of such policies with regard to Kef. Such certificates of insurance shall
provide that the insurer will notify Kef not less than thirty (30) days prior to any expiration,
non-renewal, cancellation, reduction in limits or exhaustion of limits of such insurance.
XxxxxxXxxxx shall be responsible for any deductible or self-insured amounts under any such
insurance.

7. Termination.
7.1 Termination by Either Party. Each Party shall have the right, at any time during
the Term, to terminate the Sublicense if:
(a) The other Party shall default in the performance of any of its material obligations in the
Purchase Agreement, the Related Agreements or the Registration License, and such default has not
been cured or effective steps to cure such default have not been initiated or are not thereafter
diligently pursued, within sixty (60) days (or such lesser period as may be required by any of this
Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Related Agreements or the Registration License in connection
with a specific breach thereof) after receiving written notice thereof from the non-defaulting
Party specifying the default in reasonable detail; or
(b) The other Party shall cease to carry out its business, become bankrupt or insolvent, apply
for or consent to the appointment of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of its assets or seek relief

Obligations, or by any act or omission violate any Legal Requirements relating to the Licensed
Patents or the Licensed Products, and shall fail to cure such non-performance or violation within
fifteen (15) Business Days after receiving written notice of such non-performance or violation from
any source, or a lesser period of time if necessary to satisfy any Legal Requirements.
7.3 Unauthorized Sublicense. For purposes of this Agreement, any attempted assignment

without limitation, for purposes of this Section 7.
