(b) Non-Exclusive License from Salix to Progenics. In the event that the exercise by Progenics, its Affiliates, licensees (including Ono), or sublicensees of the rights granted by Salix in Section 2.5 would infringe any Patent Rights Controlled by Salix or its Affiliates, and which Patent Rights are not covered by the grant in Section 2.5, Salix hereby grants to Progenics, its Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees to the extent Salix is legally able to do so, a non-exclusive, sublicensable, royalty-free license outside the Territory under such Patent Rights solely to the extent necessary for Progenics, its Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees to exploit the rights granted to Progenics and its Affiliates under Section 2.5.

4.2. Development Responsibilities of Salix.

(a) Costs. Except as contemplated by Section 4.6(c), Salix shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of the costs to Develop Products for the Territory.

(b) Responsibilities. Salix shall be solely responsible for, and shall:

(i) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop the Compound and Products in accordance with the Development Plan, including the performance of the work under the Development Plan in accordance with the estimated timelines set forth therein;

(ii) undertake all required correspondence and any official communications (except where Progenics may be required by Applicable Law or Regulatory Authority to communicate) regarding Products with Regulatory Authorities in the Territory;

(iii) determine, in Salix’s sole discretion, whether or the manner in which to perform any Phase 4 Clinical Trials for any Product, including any Phase 4 Clinical Trials that may be required by Regulatory Authorities in the Territory, and thereafter conduct and manage any such Phase 4 Clinical Trials.

(c) Development Coordination.

(i) Progenics shall conduct such Development tasks as Salix may request it to perform as part of the Development of Products hereunder, subject to such reasonable compensation and other terms as the Parties may agree. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 4.2(c)(i) do not limit or qualify the provisions of Sections 2.10 and 3.3, and no compensation or reimbursement of expenses shall be payable by Salix to Progenics in connection with Progenics’s participation in the Committees.

(ii) Except as contemplated by Section 4.2(c)(i), Progenics shall not conduct, nor shall it permit any of its Affiliates or, except to the extent required by the provisions of the Ono Agreement as they exist on the Effective Date or as amended in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, licensees or sublicensees (other than Salix) to conduct, any Development with respect to Products except in accordance with a plan that has been approved by the JSC.

(iii) Each Party shall use, and shall cause its Affiliates and, in the case of Progenics, subject to the provisions of the Ono Agreement as they exist on the Effective Date or as amended in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, licensees and Sublicensees (other than the other Party) to use, reasonable efforts consistent with those prevailing in the pharmaceutical industry to conduct all clinical trials, non-clinical safety studies and all other Development activities relating to the Compound or Products in such a manner as not to affect adversely the regulatory and commercial potential of Products.

 

37


(d) Efforts. Salix’s obligations under Section 4.2(b) to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts in Development of Products will be satisfied if Salix uses Commercially Reasonable Efforts in the Human Field in the Major Market Countries.

Furthermore, Salix shall be relieved of its obligation to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts in any particular country with respect to a particular Product if a Third Party Controls Patent Rights as to which, in the written reasoned opinion of Salix’s outside patent counsel (which written opinion shall be reasonably acceptable to Progenics), there is a reasonable risk that a court would find the making, using or selling of such Product in such country to constitute an infringement and Salix or its Affiliates or Sublicensee(s) are unable to obtain a license under such Patent Rights on commercially reasonable terms or configure the Product so as to avoid infringement through the use of Commercially Reasonable Efforts.

(e) Unforeseen Events. The Parties recognize that the Development Plan and the objectives to be set forth therein are based upon numerous assumptions which are not in the control of the Parties. In view of the numerous assumptions underlying the Development Plan, the proposed timeframe for achieving the objectives and events described in the Development Plan will be regularly reviewed by the JDC in light of unforeseen matters. In the event that despite the use of Commercially Reasonable Efforts by the Parties, [*], or other issues beyond the control of the Parties arise that prevent either Party from fulfilling the objectives of the Development Plan within the timeframe set forth in the Development Plan, the JDC will discuss any appropriate revisions to the Development Plan, which revisions the other Party shall not unreasonably oppose, provided that the Party can demonstrate its use of Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop the Products.

4.3. Records. Salix and its Affiliates shall maintain, and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause (a) their Outside Contractors to maintain and (b) Salix’s Sublicensees to cause such Sublicensees’ respective Outside Contractors to maintain, accurate and complete records of all activities related to the Development of Products, consistent with the responsibilities of Salix under this Agreement, and all results of any trials, studies and other investigations conducted under this Agreement by or on behalf of Salix, its Affiliates, Sublicensees and Outside Contractors, as applicable.

relevant information in reasonable detail regarding [*] and [*], [*], and [*] related to Registrational Filings and Clinical Trials of such Product conducted or overseen by Salix and its Affiliates and Sublicensees. Such reports shall be provided by Salix to the JDC as and when such reports are produced by or made available to Salix for its internal use.

(b) In addition, through its representatives on the JSC, each Party shall make reports to the JSC, as and at such time as such reports are produced by or made available to such Party for its internal use and otherwise on a periodic basis, updating the JSC as to the status and results of Development efforts of such Party and its licensees and Sublicensees (other than, in the case of Progenics, Salix and, in the case of Salix, Progenics) with respect to Products.

4.5. Transfer of Data. Without limiting the provisions of Sections 2.9(a) or 12.5(b), as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within [*] ([*]) days, following the Effective Date, Progenics shall, at its expense, provide Salix with access to, and (to the extent requested by Salix) copies of, all [*] and [*] relating to the Compound and Products to the extent the same is in the possession or Control of Progenics or its Affiliates. In addition, Progenics shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause Wyeth and Ono to provide, for delivery to Salix, relevant [*] and [*] which Wyeth and Ono are obligated, under the Wyeth Agreement, the Termination Agreement, and the Ono Agreement, respectively, to provide to Progenics. The provisions of this Section 4.5 are in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, the provisions of the Transition Agreement.

4.6. Ongoing Development Work.

(a) Subject to Ono’s rights under the Ono Agreement and the Initial Development Outline, all ongoing Development work in respect of the Compound or Products that is being conducted by the Progenics Parties or their Affiliates or licensees as of the Effective Date, including any pre-clinical or clinical studies and Clinical Studies (as such term is defined in Section 9.2(p)) identified on Schedule 9.2(p), shall either, as Salix may direct by notice to the Progenics Parties, be continued, terminated or transferred and transitioned to Salix.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.6(c), all ongoing Development work continued by the Progenics Parties as aforesaid and any termination or transfer and transition of ongoing Development work effected pursuant to Section 4.6(a) shall be at [*] sole cost and expense at the relevant [*] or the [*], as applicable.

In the event that the Progenics Parties should be unable to collect from Wyeth, because of Wyeth’s bankruptcy or insolvency, any amount that Wyeth is required to reimburse to the Progenics Parties under the Termination Agreement for Development work that has been conducted by the Progenics Parties as contemplated by the first sentence of this Section 4.6(c), then Salix shall pay such amount to the Progenics Parties and shall, by virtue of such payment, be subrogated to any rights that the Progenics Parties may have against Wyeth in respect of the amount so paid.

(d) Each Progenics Party shall reasonably cooperate with Salix to effect the transfer and termination of any ongoing Development work that Salix directs is to be transferred and transitioned to it. Without limitation, each Progenics Party shall use its reasonable efforts to assign and delegate to Salix or its Affiliates, as Salix may direct, all of the rights and obligations of the Progenics Party or its Affiliates or licensees, as the case may be, under such Progenics Third Party Agreements (other than the Subject Agreements) as Salix may determine are relevant to the conduct of ongoing Development work to be transferred and transitioned to it. The Progenics Parties and Salix shall use their respective reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of any relevant Third Party to the assignment and delegation of any such Progenics Third Party Agreement. In connection with obtaining any such consents, Salix shall cooperate with the Progenics Parties in obtaining from the relevant Third Party a release of the relevant Progenics Parties from liability under the relevant Progenics Third Party Agreement with respect to matters arising after the relevant assignment effective date, and, notwithstanding and in addition to the foregoing, shall, at Salix’s expense, cause the relevant Progenics Parties to be released from liability under the Progenics Third Party Agreements identified on Schedule 4.6(d) with respect to matters arising after or related to the relevant assignment effective date. To the extent any such Progenics Third Party Agreement is not assignable without the consent of a Third Party and the consent of such Third Party cannot be obtained following the reasonable efforts contemplated hereby, the performance obligations of the Progenics Parties or their Affiliates under such Progenics Third Party Agreement shall, unless not permitted by such Progenics Third Party Agreement, be deemed to be subcontracted to Salix until such Progenics Third Party Agreement can be effectively assigned and delegated. If any such consent cannot be timely obtained, (i) the Progenics Parties shall waive any exclusivity provision contained in the relevant Progenics Third Party Agreement to allow Salix to enter into its own agreement with the relevant Third Party and (ii) the Progenics Parties and Salix shall cooperate in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide for Salix the benefits and obligations intended to be assigned or delegated to and assumed by it in respect of such Progenics Third Party Agreement, including the right to enforce such Progenics Third Party Agreement for its own account. In furtherance of the foregoing, in respect of any Progenics Third Party Agreement that cannot be effectively assigned or delegated as contemplated hereby, the Progenics Parties hereby consent to the use by any Third Party which is a party to such Progenics Third Party Agreement of confidential information, technology and/or Know-How developed or held by such Third Party under the Progenics Third Party Agreement for the benefit of Salix, subject to applicable confidentiality and use restrictions. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.6(d), the Progenics Parties shall not be obligated to take or to permit to be taken any action which would, in the reasonable judgment of the Progenics Parties, be likely to result in a breach of any Progenics Third Party Agreement.

 

40


(e) Any transfer or transition of ongoing Development work from Progenics or its Affiliates or licensees to Salix pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall not affect the liability of the transferring party for any matters arising prior to the effective date of such transfer, and Salix shall have no liability in respect of any such matter. Conversely, any such transfer or transition shall result in Salix, as between it and the transferring party, being liable for all matters arising in respect of such Development work on or after the effective date of such transfer, provided, however, that, as between Salix and the transferring party, the transferring party shall remain solely liable for any matters arising before or after such transfer in respect of Development work transferred by the transferring party to Salix to the extent any such matter is a result of any act or omission on the part of the transferring party, its Affiliates, licensees, sublicensees or its or their directors, officers, employees or agents.

(ii) If, during the Term, Salix or its Affiliates, whether pursuant to Section 7.4(b) or otherwise, enters into an agreement with a Third Party to license Patent Rights as to which, [*], there is [*] (a “Third Party License”), then Salix may deduct up to [*] percent ([*]%) of the royalties or other payments payable pursuant to such Third Party License actually paid by Salix or its Affiliates to such Third Party pursuant to the Third Party License from the royalties otherwise due from Salix to Progenics in respect of Net Sales of the relevant Product(s) under Section 6.5(a) as adjusted pursuant to Section 6.5(c), up to a maximum amount in respect of the relevant Net Sales for any Quarter that would result in Progenics’s effective royalty rate in respect of such Net Sales in such Quarter under Section 6.5(a) as adjusted pursuant to Section 6.5(c) for such Product(s) being reduced by not more than [*] ([*]) percentage points, with any balance then remaining to be carried over to amounts owed by Salix to Progenics pursuant to Section 6.5(a) in respect of subsequent Quarters and applied against the amounts owed by Salix to Progenics pursuant to Section 6.5(a) as adjusted pursuant to Section 6.5(c) in respect of such subsequent Quarters, up to a maximum amount for each Quarter that would result in Progenics’s

effective royalty rate in respect of each such Quarter under Section 6.5(a) for such Product(s) as adjusted pursuant to Section 6.5(c) being reduced by not more than [*] ([*]) percentage points. By way of example, if the royalty rate applicable in respect of the relevant Quarter was [*] percent ([*]%), then the maximum amount in respect of amounts paid by Salix to the Third Party in respect of the Third Party License that could be deducted from royalties on relevant Net Sales otherwise owed by Salix to Progenics for such Quarter would be an amount that would reduce Progenics’s effective royalty rate for the Quarter for the relevant Product(s) to [*] percent ([*]%).

(e) Disclaimers. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement (including, without limitation, any exhibits or attachments hereto) shall be construed as representing an estimate or projection of either (i) the number of Products that will or may be successfully Developed or Commercialized or (ii) anticipated sales or the actual value of any Product. SALIX MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT IT WILL BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOP OR COMMERCIALIZE ANY PRODUCT OR, IF COMMERCIALIZED, THAT ANY SUCH PRODUCT WILL ACHIEVE ANY PARTICULAR SALES LEVEL, OR THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY AGREED IN THIS AGREEMENT, IT WILL DEVOTE ANY LEVEL OF DILIGENCE OR RESOURCES TO COMMERCIALIZING ANY SUCH PRODUCT.

6.6. Reports, Payments and Related Matters.

(a) Cumulative Royalties. The obligation to pay royalties under this Agreement shall be imposed only once with respect to any sale of any Product, regardless of the number of patents that may cover the Product.

(b) Reports and Payments. Within [*] ([*]) days after the first day of each Quarter following the First Commercial Sale of a Product in the Territory, Salix shall submit to Progenics a written report with respect to the preceding Quarter (the “Quarterly Activity Report”) stating: (i) the gross sales and Net Sales of Products sold by Salix and its Affiliates and any Sublicensee during the Quarter just ended for each country in which sales were made, making reference to the specific deductions taken in accordance with the definition of Net Sales; (ii) the date of any First Commercial Sale of any Product in a country in the Territory during the Quarter just ended; (iii) the currency exchange rates used in determining gross sales, Net Sales and amounts payable under Section 6.5; and (iv) a calculation of the amounts due to Progenics pursuant to Section 6.5 in respect of the Quarter just ended. All royalty payments due under Section 6.5 shall be due and payable within [*] ([*]) Business Days following the distribution of each Quarterly Activity Report. Salix shall submit to Progenics with each payment under Section 6.4 a written report with respect to such payment (a “Sublicense Revenue Report”) describing in detail the Sublicense Revenue to which such payment relates and providing such other information specified above for inclusion in a Quarterly Activity Report as may be relevant thereto. The obligation of Salix

to provide Quarterly Activity Reports and Sublicense Revenue Reports under this Section 6.6(b) shall cease to apply once Salix has no further obligation to make payments of, respectively, royalties under Section 6.5 or payments under Section 6.4.

(c) Taxes and Withholding. All payments under this Agreement will be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax, duties, levies, or other charges unless such deduction or withholding is required by Applicable Law to be assessed against Progenics. If Salix is so required to make any deduction or withholding from payments due to Progenics, Salix will (i) promptly notify Progenics of such requirement, (ii) pay to the relevant authorities on Progenics’s behalf the full amount required to be deducted or withheld promptly upon the earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been assessed against Progenics, and (iii) promptly forward to Progenics an official receipt (or certified copy) or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Progenics evidencing such payment to such authorities.

(d) Currency. All payments under this Agreement shall be made in dollars. As applicable, Sublicense Revenue, Net Sales and any royalty deductions shall be translated into dollars at the exchange rate used by Salix for public financial accounting purposes in accordance with GAAP.

(e) Record Keeping. Salix shall keep, and shall cause its Affiliates to keep, books and accounts of record in connection with Sublicense Revenue and the sale of Products in accordance with GAAP and in sufficient detail to permit accurate determination of all figures necessary for verification of Sublicense Revenue to be shared by Salix with Progenics under Section 6.4(a) and royalties to be paid under Section 6.5. Salix and its Affiliates shall maintain such records for a period of at least [*] ([*]) years after the end of the Quarter in which they were generated, provided, however, that if any records are in dispute and Salix has received notice from Progenics of the records which are in dispute, Salix shall keep such records until the dispute is resolved.

(f) Audits.

(i) Examination of Books and Records. Upon [*] ([*]) days’ prior notice from Progenics, Salix shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm, of nationally recognized standing selected by Progenics and reasonably acceptable to Salix, to examine, at Progenics’s sole expense, the relevant books and records of Salix and its Affiliates, and shall take reasonable efforts to cause its Sublicensees to permit Progenics to examine the relevant books and records of Sublicensees, in each case as may be reasonably necessary to verify the amounts reported by Salix in accordance with Section 6.6(b) and the sharing of Sublicense Revenue under Section 6.4(a) and payment of royalties under Section 6.5 and its compliance with its other Development and Commercialization obligations hereunder. An examination by Progenics under this Section 6.6(f) shall occur not more than [*] in any [*] and

49


shall be limited to the pertinent books and records for any [*] ending not more than [*] ([*]) months before the date of the request. The accounting firm shall be provided access to such books and records at Salix’s and other relevant facilit(y/ies) where such books and records are normally kept and such examination shall be conducted during normal business hours. Salix may require the accounting firm to sign a standard non-disclosure agreement before providing the accounting firm with access to relevant facilities or records. Upon completion of the audit, the accounting firm shall, subject to Section 6.6(g), provide both Salix and Progenics with a written report disclosing any discrepancies in the reports submitted by Salix or the Sublicense Revenue shared or the royalties paid, and, in each case, the specific details concerning any discrepancies.

(ii) Underpayments/Overpayments. If such accounting firm concludes that additional portions of Sublicense Revenue were due to Progenics under Section 6.4(a) or additional royalties were due to Progenics under Section 6.5(a), Salix shall pay to Progenics the additional Sublicense Revenue or royalties, as the case may be, within [*] ([*]) days of the date Salix receives such accountant’s written report, plus interest, which shall be calculated at the average of the prime rate reported by JPMorgan Chase, New York City, each month during the period beginning on the day the unpaid amount was due until the unpaid amount is paid in full, plus [*] percent ([*]%) per annum. If such underpayment exceeds the greater of [*] dollars ($[*]) and [*] percent ([*]%) of the aggregate share of Sublicense Revenue and royalties that were to be paid by Salix to Progenics for the audited period, Salix also shall reimburse Progenics for the out-of-pocket expenses incurred in conducting the audit. Progenics shall not reveal to such accounting firm the conditions under which the audit expenses are to be reimbursed hereunder. If such accounting firm concludes that Salix overpaid Sublicense Revenue or royalties to Progenics, Progenics will refund such overpayments to Salix within [*] ([*]) days of the date Progenics receives such accountant’s report. [*] interest shall be due to Salix on any such overpayment.

(g) Confidentiality. All progress reports and financial information of Salix subject to review under this Article 6 shall be deemed to be Salix’s Confidential Information subject to the provisions of Article 8 hereof, and Progenics shall not disclose such Confidential Information to any Third Party or use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than reviewing progress made or verifying payments to be made by Salix to Progenics under this Agreement; provided, however, that such Confidential Information may be disclosed by Progenics to Third Parties only to the extent necessary to enforce Progenics’s rights under this Agreement.

6.7. Diagnostic or Veterinary Products. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 6, sales of Products for diagnostic (including screening or monitoring) or veterinary use shall not be considered Net Sales for purposes of Section 6.3 or 6.5 or Sublicense Revenues for purposes of Section 6.4. In the event that Salix Develops or seeks to Sublicense Development of any Product for any such use, then the Expanded Parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon, as a condition to Salix’s right to Commercialize (whether itself or through a Sublicensee) such Product, appropriate compensation to be paid by Salix to Progenics in connection with the Commercialization of such Product.

The Parties shall cause their respective patent counsel to communicate no less frequently than [*] per [*] regarding the prosecution and maintenance of the Progenics Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Joint Patent Rights and Ono Collaboration Joint Patent Rights. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Salix shall provide to Progenics copies of all communications sent to and received from any patent office pertaining to Progenics Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Joint Patent Rights or Ono Collaboration Joint Patent Rights, including [*]. Whenever possible, Progenics shall be given at least [*] ([*]) Business Days prior to the earlier of the expiration of any shortened statutory period for response or anticipated filing to review and comment upon the text of any such communication. Salix shall also keep Progenics advised on the maintenance of any patents included within the Progenics Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Joint Patent Rights and Ono Collaboration Joint Patent Rights and provide Progenics with reasonable opportunity to comment on maintenance. In the event that the Parties’ respective patent counsel, after good faith discussions, cannot agree with respect to any decision to be made with respect to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Progenics Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Joint Patent Rights or Ono Collaboration Joint Patent Rights (including decisions relating to [*]), Salix shall make such decision.

(b) Ono Collaboration Patent Rights. Progenics shall provide to Salix, promptly following its receipt of the same from Ono pursuant to Section 7.2.3 of the Ono Agreement, copies of all communications (and English translations or English summaries thereof, as provided by Ono) sent to and received from patent offices pertaining to the prosecution of Ono Collaboration Patent Rights. Salix shall have the right to review and comment upon the text of any such communication and Progenics shall for that purpose solicit any comments that Salix may have and include them as part of its comments to Ono. Salix shall have the right to have its patent counsel participate in any communications between Progenics’s patent counsel and Ono’s patent counsel that may occur pursuant to, or in conformance with, Section 7.2.3 of the Ono Agreement. Progenics shall provide Salix with notice of any communications between its patent counsel and Ono’s patent counsel that may be contemplated pursuant to Section 7.2.3 of the Ono Agreement. Such notice shall be provided by Progenics promptly following its becoming aware of any such proposed communication and in a manner appropriate to provide Salix with a reasonable opportunity

52


to have its patent counsel participate in any such communication. Progenics shall provide Salix, promptly following its receipt of the same from Ono pursuant to Section 7.2.3 of the Ono Agreement, with copies of advice it receives from Ono on the maintenance of Ono Collaboration Patent Rights and shall include in its comments to Ono any comments that Salix may have in respect of maintenance of Ono Collaboration Patent Rights. Progenics shall promptly notify Salix of any notice that it should receive from Ono of Ono’s election not to prepare, file, prosecute or maintain any Ono Collaboration Patent Right, and shall thereafter pursue the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of any such Ono Collaboration Patent Rights at Salix’s direction. Progenics acknowledges that Salix shall have the right to participate in any discussions that it may have with Ono with respect to the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of Ono Collaboration Patent Rights contemplated by Section 7.2.3 of the Ono Agreement and shall for such purpose notify Salix of any such discussions promptly following its becoming aware of any such proposed discussions and in a manner appropriate to provide Salix with a reasonable opportunity to participate therein. In no event shall Progenics consent to any action by or on behalf of Ono with respect to the prosecution or maintenance of Ono Collaboration Patent Rights without first having obtained Salix’s consent thereto. In the event that the Parties’ respective patent counsel, after good faith discussions, cannot agree with respect to any decision to be made with respect to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Ono Collaboration Patent Rights (including decisions relating to interference, opposition, revocation, reexamination and similar proceedings), then Salix shall make such decision. In no event, however, shall Progenics be required to take any action that would cause Progenics to breach any Progenics Third Party Agreement or that would, in Progenics’s judgment, be contrary to law. In the event that pursuant to Section 2.12 Salix should succeed to all or substantially all of the rights and licenses currently held by Ono under the Ono Agreement, then thereafter the Ono Collaboration Patent Rights shall be deemed to constitute Progenics Patent Rights and, except as may be otherwise required by any ongoing provisions of the Ono Agreement, the prosecution and maintenance thereof shall be governed by the provisions of Section 7.2(a).

(c) Joint Patent Rights. The Parties shall discuss in good faith, and thereupon implement, a mutually agreeable patent strategy with respect to all Joint Technology that may be patentable, and shall cause their respective patent counsel to communicate no less frequently than [*] per [*] regarding the prosecution and maintenance of the Joint Patent Rights in the Territory and outside the Territory.

7.3. Enforcement of Patent Rights.

(a) Notice. If a Party becomes aware of any infringement, anywhere in the world, of any issued patent within the Progenics Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Joint Patent Rights, Ono Collaboration Patent Rights, Ono Collaboration Joint Patent Rights, Joint Patent Rights, or Salix Collaboration Patent Rights, then such Party will notify the other Party in writing to that effect. Any such notice shall include any available evidence to support an allegation of such infringement.

(b) Enforcement of Progenics Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Joint Patent Rights, Ono Collaboration Joint Patent Rights and Joint Patent Rights. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.3(b), Salix shall, as between Progenics and Salix to the extent Progenics has the right to enforce the Progenics Patent Rights, have the first right but not the obligation, at its own expense, to take action (or cause or permit to be taken action) to obtain a discontinuance of infringement or bring suit against a Third Party infringer in the Territory of any Progenics Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Joint Patent Rights, Ono Collaboration Joint Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights. Such right shall remain in effect until [*] ([*]) days after the date of notice given under Section 7.3(a). Salix, at its own expense, may join Progenics as a party plaintiff to any action or suit resulting from Salix’s exercise of such rights. Progenics may participate, and be represented by independent counsel, in such litigation at its own expense. Salix shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such an action or suit without the prior written consent of Progenics (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) if such judgment or settlement includes a finding or agreement that any Progenics Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Joint Patent Rights, Ono Collaboration Joint Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights are invalid, unenforceable, or not infringed, grants a Third Party license, or would enjoin or grant other equitable relief against Progenics. Salix shall bear all the expenses (except for the expense of Progenics’s independent counsel) of any such action or suit brought by Salix under this first right claiming infringement of any Progenics Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Joint Patent Rights, Ono Collaboration Joint Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights. If, after the expiration of the [*] ([*]) day period, Salix has not obtained a discontinuance of the infringement of the Progenics Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Joint Patent Rights, Ono Collaboration Joint Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights, as applicable, or filed suit against any such Third Party infringer of such rights, or provided Progenics with information and arguments demonstrating to Progenics’s reasonable satisfaction that there is insufficient basis for the allegation of such infringement of the Progenics Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Patent

If Progenics exercises such second right, then Salix shall have the right but not the obligation, at its own expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice in any action or proceeding controlled by Progenics. Progenics may join Salix as a party plaintiff to any action or suit resulting from Progenics’s exercise of its second right. Progenics shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such an action or suit without the prior written consent of Salix (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) if such judgment or settlement includes a finding or agreement that any Progenics Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Joint Patent Rights, Ono Collaboration Joint Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights are invalid, unenforceable, or not infringed, grants a Third Party license, or would enjoin or grant other equitable relief against Salix. Progenics shall bear all the expenses of any such action or suit brought by Progenics under this second right claiming infringement of any Progenics Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Joint Patent Rights, Ono Collaboration Joint Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights, except for Salix’s expenses if Salix exercises its right to be represented by counsel of its own choice in such action or suit. Each Party shall cooperate with the other Party (including by executing any documents required to enable Salix to initiate such litigation) in any action or suit for infringement of any Progenics Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Patent Rights, Wyeth Collaboration Joint Patent Rights, Ono Collaboration Joint Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights brought by Salix against a Third Party in accordance with this Section 7.3(b) and shall have the right to consult with the other. Neither Party shall incur any liability directly to the other Party as a consequence of such action or suit or any unfavorable decision resulting therefrom, including any decision holding any Patent Right invalid or unenforceable. However, the Party exercising the right to bring an action or suit shall indemnify and hold the other Party harmless from any liability to a Third Party as a consequence of such action or suit or any unfavorable decision resulting therefrom. Any recovery obtained by either Party as a result of any such action or suit against a Third Party infringer shall be allocated first to reimburse each Party for all litigation costs in connection with such action or suit paid by that Party and then any remaining amount shall be allocated as follows:

(i) If [*] brought the infringement action or suit, any remaining portion of such recovery shall be allocated between the Parties [*] under this Agreement, as determined in good faith by the Parties; or

(ii) If [*] brought the infringement suit, [*] shall receive an amount equal to [*] percent ([*]%) of any remaining portion of such recovery and [*] shall receive the other [*] percent ([*]%).

(c) Enforcement of Ono Collaboration Patent Rights. Progenics shall exercise its rights under Section 7.2.7(c) of the Ono Agreement as directed (and only as directed) by Salix; provided, however, that any action taken by Progenics to obtain a discontinuance of infringement or bring suit against an infringer of Ono Collaboration Patent Rights pursuant to Section 7.2.7(c) shall be at Salix’s expense. Progenics shall permit any counsel that it may retain to represent it as permitted by the provisions of Section 7.2.7(c) of the Ono Agreement to be directed by Salix. Neither Party shall incur any liability directly to the other Party as a consequence of any such litigation or any unfavorable decision resulting therefrom, including any decision holding any Ono Collaboration Patent Right invalid or unenforceable. However, to the extent Salix exercises its rights under this Section 7.3(c) to direct Progenics to bring an action or suit and to direct and control the prosecution of such action or suit, Salix shall indemnify and hold Progenics harmless from any liability to a Third Party (including Ono) as a consequence of such action or suit or an unfavorable decision resulting therefrom. Any recovery allocated by Progenics under Section 7.2.7(c) of the Ono Agreement shall, in respect of any action or suit the expenses of which have been borne by Salix pursuant to this Section 7.3(c), be delivered by Progenics in its entirety to Salix. If Salix does not elect to direct Progenics’s to exercise Progenics’s rights under Section 7.2.7(c) of the Ono Agreement, then Progenics may, but is not obligated to, exercise its rights under Section 7.2.7(c) of the Ono Agreement to direct and control the prosecution of such action or suit; provided, however, that any action taken by Progenics in directing and controlling the prosecution of such action or suit to obtain a discontinuance of infringement or bring suit against an infringer of Ono Collaboration Patents pursuant to Section 7.2.7(c) shall be at Progenics’s expense. Neither Party shall incur any liability directly to the other Party as a consequence of any such litigation or any unfavorable decision resulting therefrom, including any decision holding any Ono Collaboration Patent Right invalid or unenforceable. However, to the extent Progenics exercises its rights under this Section 7.3(c) to bring an action or suit in its sole discretion and to direct and control the prosecution of such action or suit, Progenics shall indemnify and hold harmless Salix from any liability to a Third Party (including Ono) as a consequence of such action or suit or an unfavorable decision resulting therefrom. Any recovery allocated by Progenics under Section 7.2.7(c) of the Ono Agreement shall, in respect of any action or suit the expenses of which have been borne by Progenics pursuant to this Section 7.3(c), be retained by Progenics in its entirety.

(d) Enforcement of Salix Collaboration Patent Rights. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.3(d), Salix in the Territory and Progenics outside the Territory (the “Action Party”) shall have the first right but not the obligation, at its own expense, to take action (or cause or permit to be taken action) to obtain a discontinuance of infringement or bring suit against a Third Party infringer of any Salix Collaboration Patent Rights. Progenics shall not exercise its right outside the Territory to initiate such action (or

 

58


to cause or permit such action to be taken) without obtaining Salix’s prior written consent thereto and without providing Salix an opportunity to share jointly in the control thereof, and Progenics shall make available to Salix, upon Salix’s request, any and all documentation controlled or obtained by Progenics relating to the conduct of such an action. The right of each Party set forth in the first sentence of this Section 7.3(d) shall remain in effect until [*] ([*]) days after the date of notice given under Section 7.3(a). The Action Party may join the other Party as a party plaintiff to any action or suit resulting from the Action Party’s exercise of such rights. The Action Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such an action or suit without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) if such judgment or settlement includes a finding or agreement that any Salix Collaboration Patent Right is invalid, unenforceable, or not infringed, grants a Third Party license, or would enjoin or grant other equitable relief against the other Party. The Action Party shall bear all the expenses of any such action or suit brought by the Action Party claiming infringement of any Salix Collaboration Patent Rights. If, after the expiration of the [*] ([*]) day period, the Action Party has not obtained a discontinuance of the infringement of Salix Collaboration Patent Rights or filed suit against any such Third Party infringer of Salix Collaboration Patent Rights, or provided the other Party with information and arguments demonstrating to the other Party’s reasonable satisfaction that there is insufficient basis for the allegation of such infringement of Salix Collaboration Patent Rights, then the other Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring an action or suit against such Third Party infringer of Salix Collaboration Patent Rights. The other Party may join the Action Party as a party plaintiff to such action or suit resulting from the other Party’s exercise of such rights. The other Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such an action or suit without the prior written consent of the Action Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) if such judgment or settlement materially impacts any of the Action Party’s rights under this Agreement or would enjoin or grant other equitable relief against the Action Party. Each Party shall cooperate (including by executing any documents required to enable the other Party to initiate such litigation) with the other Party in any action or suit for infringement of any Salix Collaboration Patent Right brought by the other Party against a Third Party in accordance with this Section 7.3(d) and shall have the right to consult with the other Party and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in such litigation at its own expense. Neither Party shall incur any liability directly to the other Party as a consequence of such litigation or any unfavorable decision resulting therefrom, including any decision holding any Salix Collaboration Patent Right invalid or unenforceable. However, the Party exercising the right to bring an action or suit shall indemnify and hold the other Party harmless from any liability to a Third Party as a consequence of such action or suit or any unfavorable decision resulting therefrom. Any recovery obtained by either Party as a result of any such proceeding against a Third Party infringer shall be allocated first to reimburse each Party for all litigation costs in connection with such action or suit paid by that Party and then any remaining portion of such recovery shall be allocated between the Parties [*] under this Agreement, as determined in good faith by the Parties.

7.4. Infringement and Third Party Licenses.

(a) Infringement of Third Party Patents - Course of Action. If the performance of the Licensed Activities by Salix or any of its Affiliates is alleged by a Third Party to infringe a Third Party’s patent or other intellectual property right, the Party becoming aware of such allegation shall promptly notify the other Party. Additionally, if either Party determines that, based upon the review of a Third Party’s patent or patent application or other intellectual property rights, it may be desirable to obtain a license from such Third Party with respect thereto so as to avoid any potential suit between either Party and such Third Party, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of such determination and initiate discussions to determine whether such license is desirable.

(b) Salix Option to Negotiate. Subject to Section 7.4(c), in the event that Salix determines that, in order for Salix or its Affiliates or Sublicensees to engage in the Licensed Activities, it is necessary or desirable for Salix to obtain a license under one or more patents or patent applications or other intellectual property rights owned or controlled by a Third Party (collectively, “Third Party IP Rights”), Salix shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to negotiate and enter into an agreement with such Third Party, whereby Salix is granted a license under such Third Party IP Rights permitting Salix and its Affiliates and Sublicensees, as relevant, to practice such Third Party IP Rights in connection with the Licensed Activities and the performance of any of its obligations or the exercise of any of its rights under this Agreement. If after the earlier to occur of [*] ([*]) months following Progenics’s notice to Salix of the need for a license in respect of Third Party IP Rights in order for Salix or its Affiliates or Sublicensees to engage in the Licensed Activities and [*] ([*]) days following receipt by Salix or Progenics of a written threat of imminent litigation alleging that the conduct by Salix or its Affiliates or Sublicensees of the Licensed Activities infringes Third Party IP Rights, Salix has not then entered into a license agreement with the relevant Third Party whereby Salix is granted a license under such Third Party’s Third Party IP Rights, then Progenics shall have the right, but not the obligation, to negotiate and enter into, at its expense, an agreement with such Third Party, whereby Progenics is granted a license, with the right to sublicense, under such Third Party IP Rights. Any such license into which Progenics may enter pursuant to the preceding sentence shall constitute a Progenics Third Party Agreement.

(c) Ono Third Party License. Progenics shall provide Salix with notice of any notification that it may receive from Ono pursuant to Section 7.2.8(a) of the Ono Agreement or any determination that Progenics itself may make that it may be desirable to obtain a license as contemplated by said section. Such notice shall be provided by Progenics promptly following its receipt of any such notification or its making of any such determination and in a manner appropriate to provide Salix with a reasonable opportunity to

 

* Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.

 

60


participate in any discussions by Progenics and Ono in respect thereof as contemplated by Section 7.2.8(a) of the Ono Agreement. Salix shall have the right, either directly or through Progenics, as Progenics and Ono may agree, to participate in any discussions that may be conducted pursuant to Section 7.2.8(c). Progenics shall not provide its written consent to any agreement into which Ono may propose to enter under Section 7.2.8(b) of the Ono Agreement without first having obtained Salix’s consent thereto, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(d) Third Party Infringement Suit. If a Third Party sues Salix or any of Salix’s Affiliates or Sublicensees (each Person so sued being referred to herein as a “Sued Party”), alleging that the Licensed Activities of Salix or any of Salix’s Affiliates or Sublicensees during the Term of and pursuant to this Agreement infringe or will infringe such Third Party’s patent, then, upon Salix’s request and in connection with the Sued Party’s defense of any such Third Party infringement suit, Progenics shall provide reasonable assistance to the Sued Party for such defense.

(e) Patent Certifications. Each Party shall immediately give notice to the other Party of any certification filed by a Third Party pursuant to 21 U.S. C. § 355(b)(2)(A) or § 355(j)(2)(A)(vii) (or any amendment or successor statute thereto) of which it becomes aware claiming that any Patent Right of either Party related to this Agreement has expired or is invalid, unenforceable or not infringed.

7.5. Trademarks.

(a) Product Trademarks. Salix shall be solely responsible for selecting, and shall own, all Product Trademarks used, held for use or intended for use on or in connection with the Manufacturing, Development and/or Commercialization of the Compound and Products in the Territory under this Agreement.

(b) Transfer of RELISTOR Trademark. Pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Transition Agreement, Progenics shall, simultaneously with the transfer of relevant Commercialization activities in respect of Products to Salix, cause Wyeth and Wyeth’s Affiliates, as applicable, to assign, convey, transfer and deliver to Salix all right, title and interest in and to the Trademark RELISTOR as well as all other Assigned US IP and Assigned Ex-US IP (as such terms are defined under the Termination Agreement) and all registrations and applications in respect of any of the foregoing in the Territory, in each case together with all goodwill associated therewith, except for all right, title and interest in and to [*] in the [*] and the [*], which Progenics shall, simultaneously with the transfer of relevant Commercialization activities in respect of Products to Salix, [*].

(c) Certain Restrictions. Until termination of this Agreement for any reason other than expiration at the end of the Term as provided in Section 10.1, Progenics shall not use, register or seek to register, or permit its Affiliates to use, register or seek to

61


register, anywhere in the Territory, any Trademark that is confusingly similar to any Trademark owned or used by Salix or its Affiliates or Sublicensees in connection with the Commercialization of any Product in the Territory.

8. CONFIDENTIALITY.

8.1. Product Information.

(a) The Progenics Parties recognize that by reason of, inter alia, Salix’s status as an exclusive licensee pursuant to the grants under Section 2.1, Salix has an interest in the Progenics Parties’ retention in confidence of certain information of the Progenics Parties. Accordingly, during the Term, the Progenics Parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents to, keep confidential, and not publish or otherwise disclose, and not use directly or indirectly for any purpose other than to fulfill the Progenics Parties’ obligations, or exercise the Progenics Parties’ rights, hereunder or under any Subject Agreement or Related Agreement, any data or information owned or possessed by the Progenics Parties or any of their Affiliates that relates to the Compound or any Product for use in the Field, or the Manufacturing, Development or Commercialization of any of the foregoing (the “Product Information”); except to the extent (i) the Progenics Parties’ Product Information is in the public domain through no fault of the Progenics Parties or their Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, or agents (including pursuant to disclosure as contemplated by Section 9.2(l)(i)); (ii) such disclosure or use is expressly permitted under Section 8.3, or (iii) such disclosure or use is at such time otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement. For purposes of Section 8.3, Salix shall be deemed to be the Disclosing Party with respect to the Progenics Parties’ Product Information under Section 8.3 and the Progenics Parties shall be deemed to be the Receiving Party with respect thereto. For further clarification, (i) without limiting this Section 8.1(a), to the extent the Progenics Parties’ Product Information is disclosed by the Progenics Parties to Salix pursuant to this Agreement, such information shall, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article 8, also constitute Confidential Information of the disclosing Progenics Party with respect to the use and disclosure of such data or information by Salix (and the Progenics Party shall be deemed to be the Disclosing Party with respect to such Product Information under Section 8.3 and Salix shall be deemed to be the Receiving Party with respect thereto), but (ii) the disclosure by a Progenics Party to Salix of the Progenics Parties’ Product Information shall not cause such information to cease to be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.1(a) with respect to the use and disclosure of such Confidential Information by the disclosing Progenics Party. In the event this Agreement is terminated, this Section 8.1(a) shall have no continuing force or effect with respect to the use or disclosure of such information, but Product Information disclosed by Salix to the Progenics Parties hereunder shall continue to be Confidential Information of Salix, subject to the terms of Sections 8.2, 8.3, and 8.5 for purposes of the surviving provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Salix recognizes that, in the event the licenses granted to Salix by Progenics are terminated pursuant to Section 10.5, the Progenics Parties will have an interest in Salix’s retention in confidence of certain information of Salix’s. Accordingly, following such termination pursuant to Section 10.5, Salix shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their

 

62


respective officers, directors, employees, and agents to, keep confidential, and not publish or otherwise disclose, and not use directly or indirectly for any purpose other than to fulfill Salix’s obligations, or exercise Salix’s rights, hereunder any Salix Product Information (as Product Information is defined in Section 8.1(a)); except to the extent (i) the Salix Product Information is in the public domain through no fault of Salix or its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, or agents (including pursuant to disclosure as contemplated by Section 9.2(l)(i) mutatis mutandis); (ii) such disclosure or use is expressly permitted under Section 8.3, or (iii) such disclosure or use is at such time otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement. For purposes of Section 8.3, following termination of the licenses from Progenics to Salix pursuant to Section 10.5, the Progenics Parties shall be deemed to be the Disclosing Party with respect to Salix’s Product Information under Section 8.3 and Salix shall be deemed to be the Receiving Party with respect thereto. For further clarification, (i) without limiting this Section 8.1(b), to the extent Salix Product Information is disclosed by Salix to the Progenics Parties pursuant to this Agreement, such information shall, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article 8, also constitute Confidential Information of Salix with respect to the use and disclosure of such data or information by Progenics (and Salix shall be deemed to be the Disclosing Party with respect to Salix Product Information under Section 8.3 and Progenics shall be deemed to be the Receiving Party with respect thereto), but (ii) the disclosure by Salix to Progenics of Salix Product Information shall not cause such information to cease to be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.1(b) with respect to the use and disclosure of such Confidential Information by Salix.

8.2. Confidentiality. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing, the Expanded Parties agree that, for the Term and for five (5) years thereafter, each Expanded Party (the “Receiving Party”) receiving any Confidential Information of another Expanded Party (the “Disclosing Party”) under this Agreement shall keep such Confidential Information confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose or use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement, except for Confidential Information that the Receiving Party can establish:

(i) was already known by the Receiving Party (other than under an obligation of confidentiality) at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party and the Receiving Party has documentary evidence to that effect; provided, however, that the foregoing exception shall not apply in respect of Regulatory Documentation and information included therein transferred to Salix pursuant to the provisions hereof or the Transition Agreement;

(ii) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the Receiving Party;

(iii) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure or development, as the case may be, other than through any act or omission of the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates;

(iv) was disclosed to the Receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, by a Third Party who had no obligation to the Disclosing Party not to disclose such information to the Receiving Party; or

 

63


(v) was independently discovered or developed by or on behalf of the Receiving Party without the use of any Confidential Information belonging to the Disclosing Party and the Receiving Party has documentary evidence to that effect; provided, however, that the foregoing exception shall not apply in respect of Regulatory Documentation and information included therein transferred to Salix pursuant to the provisions hereof or the Transition Agreement.

Information that is otherwise Confidential Information and consists of a combination of information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain if individual elements of such information are in the public domain, unless the specific combination of those elements is also in the public domain.

8.3. Authorized Disclosure.

(a) Disclosure. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8.1 and 8.2, a Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information belonging to the Disclosing Party and a Progenics Party may disclose Product Information to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary to:

(i) file or prosecute patent applications as contemplated by this Agreement,

(ii) prosecute or defend litigation,

(iii)(A) exercise its rights under this Agreement, including conducting clinical trials, (B) exercise its rights or perform its obligations under, in the case of Progenics, the Subject Agreements as the same exist on the date hereof, and in the case of both Salix and Progenics, the Related Agreements, provided in each such disclosure is covered by terms of confidentiality similar to those set forth herein, or (C) engage in [*], including [*] or [*], provided in each case such disclosure is covered by terms of confidentiality similar to those set forth herein, and

(iv) comply with Applicable Law.

(b) Notice of Disclosure. In the event a Receiving Party shall deem it reasonably necessary to disclose Confidential Information belonging to the Disclosing Party pursuant to this Section 8.3, the Receiving Party shall to the extent possible give reasonable advance notice of such disclosure to the Disclosing Party and take reasonable measures to ensure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information.

8.4. SEC Filings and Other Disclosures. Any Expanded Party may disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement, Product Information and other material information relating to this Agreement and the matters contemplated hereby (a) to the extent required, in the

64


reasonable opinion of such Expanded Party’s legal counsel, to comply with Applicable Law, including, without limitation, the rules and regulations promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and (b) in connection with a [*], provided that prior to such disclosure each such [*] shall agree in writing to be bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use no less restrictive in scope than those set forth in this Article 8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before making a disclosure contemplated by clause (a) above, the Expanded Parties will consult with one another on material to be redacted in making any such disclosure. If an Expanded Party makes a disclosure contemplated by clause (a) above, such Expanded Party agrees, at its own expense, to seek such confidential treatment of portions of such disclosure, as may be reasonably requested by any other Expanded Party.

8.5. Public Announcements; Publications.

(a) Coordination. The Expanded Parties agree on the importance of coordinating their public announcements respecting this Agreement and the subject matter hereof (other than academic, scientific or medical publications that are subject to the publication provision set forth below). The Expanded Parties shall, from time to time, and at the request of any other Expanded Party, discuss and agree on the general information content relating to this Agreement (including relating to the Development or Commercialization of the Product) which may be publicly disclosed (including by means of any printed publication or oral presentation).

(b) Press Releases. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Parties shall simultaneously release their agreed-upon announcement regarding the signing of this Agreement. Thereafter, any press release or similar public announcement relating to this Agreement or the transactions and activities contemplated hereby (including relating to Development or Commercialization events in respect of Products) shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, be made in the form of a joint release with form and content agreed by the Parties, provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit a Party from making any such press release or similar public announcement independently of the other Party to the extent such Party determines it must make such press release or similar public announcement in order to comply with Applicable Law and cannot in compliance with Applicable Law make such press release in the form suggested by the other Party, in which event, however, the Party proposing to make an independent press release shall use reasonable efforts to provide a draft of such press release to the other Party sufficiently in advance of release to permit the other Party to comment thereon. Except as contemplated by this Section 8.5(b) or permitted by Section 8.4, no Expanded Party shall, nor shall it permit its Affiliates to, issue any press release or similar public announcement relating to this Agreement or the transactions and activities contemplated hereby (including relating to Development or Commercialization events in respect of Products).

(c) Publications. During the Term, each Expanded Party will submit to the other Expanded Parties (including specifically to its in-house patent counsel) for prior

Written copies of such proposed publications and presentations shall be submitted to the non-publishing Expanded Parties no later than [*] ([*]) days before submission for publication or presentation, and each non-publishing Expanded Party shall provide its comments with respect to such publications and presentations within [*] ([*]) days of its receipt of such written copy. The review period may be extended for an additional [*] ([*]) days in the event any non-publishing Expanded Party can demonstrate reasonable need for such extension, including, but not limited to, the preparation and filing of patent applications. By mutual agreement, this period may be further extended. Each Expanded Party will each comply with standard academic practice regarding authorship of scientific publications and recognition of contribution of other persons in any publications relating to the Development or Commercialization of any Product. During the Term, each Expanded Party shall provide to the other Expanded Parties (including specifically to its in-house patent counsel) for its information any academic, scientific and medical publications relating to the Compound or any Product of which such Expanded Party is aware.

(a) License under Salix IP; Transfer of Third Party License(s); Non-Assertion by Salix. Salix (i) shall, and does hereby, grant to Progenics (A) an exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up license under the Salix Collaboration Patent Rights and the Salix Collaboration Know-How, and an exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up license in the Field under Salix’s interest in the Joint Patent Rights and Salix’s interest in the Joint Know-How, in each case with a right to sublicense, to research, make, have made, use, Develop, sell, offer to sell or use, have sold, market, promote, import, export, or otherwise Commercialize the Compound or any Product having as its sole active pharmaceutical ingredient the Compound anywhere in the world and (B) a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up license under the Salix Collaboration Patent Rights and the Salix Collaboration Know-How, and an exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up license under Salix’s interest in the Joint Patent Rights and Salix’s interest in the Joint Know-How, in each case with a right to sublicense, to research, make, have made, use, Develop, sell, offer to sell or use, have sold, market, promote, import, export, or otherwise Commercialize any Product anywhere in the world, and (ii) shall, at Progenics’s option and as Progenics may direct, assign or sublicense to Progenics or its Affiliate Salix’s rights and obligations under such Third Party License(s) to the extent the same relate to the Compound or Products as Progenics may determine. From and after such expiration or termination, Salix shall not assert any Salix Independent Patent Rights against Progenics, its Affiliates or its licensees or Sublicensees relating to the Development, Commercialization or other exploitation of the Compound or any Product anywhere in the world.

(b) Transfer of Trademarks, Contracts and Regulatory Documentation. Salix shall, and does hereby, and, subject to Section 10.8, shall cause its Sublicensees to, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Progenics all right, title and interest in and to: (i) any Product Trademark, but specifically excluding any corporate names and logos of Salix and its Affiliates and Sublicensees and any Trademark not used, or developed for use, solely with respect to the Commercialization of Products in the Field and any domain names incorporating any such Product Trademark that may have been used by, or developed for use by, Salix in solely in connection with the Commercialization of Products (but specifically excluding any domain name that includes any corporate names of Salix and its Affiliates and Sublicensees or any Trademark not used, or developed for use, solely with respect to Product in the Field) and (ii) any agreements with any Third Parties that are related solely to Products (including, if applicable, agreements with any Third Party contract research organizations, clinical sites and investigators); (iii) any Regulatory Approvals and Regulatory Documentation relating to Products. To the extent any such assignment is not legally permissible or such Regulatory Approvals or Regulatory Documentation do not relate solely to Products, Salix shall grant Progenics the non-exclusive license and right (with right to sublicense) to access, use, and cross-reference such Regulatory Approvals or Regulatory Documentation in accordance with Section 12.2. In the event that, despite Progenics’s good faith and diligent efforts, there should be any delay in effecting any of the transfers

 

81


contemplated by this Section 10.6(b), then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith provisions for interim arrangements between them and in respect of the Development and Commercialization of Products as necessary to afford such additional period as may be reasonably required in order for such transfer to be completed.

(d) Ongoing Studies. Salix will cooperate with Progenics to transfer any on-going clinical studies for which it has responsibility hereunder in which patient dosing has commenced or, if reasonably practicable and requested by Progenics, allow Progenics to complete such trials (and then assign all related Regulatory Documentation and investigator and other agreements relating to such studies), all at Salix’s expense.

(e) Transfer of Technical Information. Without limiting this Section 10.6, Salix shall cooperate with Progenics in transferring to Progenics or a Third Party, as Progenics may direct, within [*] ([*]) days of the termination hereof, all of the Salix Collaboration Know-How and Progenics Confidential Information in the possession of Salix or its Sublicensees, except that Salix may retain one (1) copy of such Salix Collaboration Know-How and Progenics Confidential Information for the sole purpose of performing any continuing obligations hereunder or for archival purposes, but not for any other use or purpose. Salix shall, within [*] ([*]) days of the event giving rise to the termination, transfer to Progenics copies of all data, reports, records and materials in its possession or control that relate to the Products or Compound and return to Progenics, or destroy at Progenics’s request, all relevant records and materials in Salix’s or its Affiliates’ possession or control containing Confidential Information of Progenics.

(f) Assistance. Salix shall, and, subject to Section 10.8, shall cause its Sublicensees to, provide Progenics, at its request and expense, with such assistance as is reasonably necessary to effectuate a smooth and orderly transition of any Development and Commercialization of Products in the Territory (including any ongoing clinical studies) to Progenics or its designee so as to minimize any disruption of such activities.

(g) Supply of Products. As to Products then being manufactured by or on behalf of Salix or its Affiliates, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a supply agreement for such Products on commercially reasonable terms to ensure that Progenics shall have for a period of [*] ([*]) years a continuous supply of such Products.

Furthermore, at Progenics’s request, Salix shall sell to Progenics any of the inventory (including manufactured Product, packaging materials, Promotional Materials and any other commercial items) held by Salix or its Affiliates or Sublicensees at a price equal to their cost. And in any case, Salix shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to transfer, license or sublicense to Progenics or its designee at no cost all documentation and technology in Salix’s Control necessary to enable Progenics or its designee to manufacture Products.

(h) Termination with Respect to a Product. Notwithstanding Section 10.6(a) through (g), in the case of a termination with respect to a particular Product under Section 10.2(b), such provisions shall apply only as to the terminated Product.

10.7. Sale of Inventory. In the event of any termination of this Agreement, Salix may continue to sell its existing inventories and any work-in-process of Products until the occurrence of either: (a) Salix’s completion of the transfer of all Regulatory Approvals and related Regulatory Documentation for Products and completion of performance under all then-existing contracts with Third Parties for the marketing, sale or manufacture of Products, or (b) Progenics’s directing Salix to halt all sales of Products by notice, provided that at Progenics’s request, Salix shall promptly provide to Progenics copies of each such Third Party contract, for purposes of Progenics’s determining whether to direct Salix to halt sales of Products pursuant to the foregoing clause (b). If either such event occurs prior to the sale of all of Salix’s inventories and work-in-process of Products and the performance by Salix of its obligations under such Third Party contracts in the case of a termination by Progenics pursuant to Section 10.2(a) or 10.3 or by Salix pursuant to Section 10.4, then Salix shall sell to Progenics, and Progenics shall purchase, at Salix’s cost therefor, any remaining Salix inventory and work-in-process of any Products that are useable and saleable within a commercially reasonable period of time. Progenics shall have the right to continue to use supplies of materials carrying the name or trademark of Salix, its Affiliates or Sublicensees until those supplies have been depleted, but in no event for a period of more than [*] ([*]) days.

10.8. Effect of Termination on Sublicenses Granted by Salix. Any and all sublicense agreements entered into by Salix or any of its Affiliates with a Sublicensee pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement (other than pursuant to Section 10.4), except to the extent that any such Sublicensee under any Sublicense is in material breach of this Agreement or such Sublicense or Progenics elects to grant such Sublicensee a direct license of the Sublicensed rights on the same terms applicable to Salix under this Agreement. Salix shall, at the request of Progenics, assign any such Sublicense (to the extent not terminated pursuant to the preceding sentence) to Progenics or its Affiliates and, upon such assignment, Progenics or its Affiliates, as applicable, shall assume such Sublicense, as applicable, provided that at Progenics’s request, Salix shall promptly provide to Progenics copies of each such Sublicense for purposes of Progenics’s determining whether to instruct Salix to assign such Sublicense to Progenics or its Affiliates. For clarity, any sublicense agreement entered into by Salix with any of its Affiliates shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.

10.11. Bankruptcy-Related Matters. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement are licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined in Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code (“Title 11”). Each Party agrees that the other Party, as licensee of such rights under this Agreement shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under Title 11. Each Party agrees during the Term, to create and maintain current copies or, if not amenable to copying, detailed descriptions or other appropriate embodiments, to the extent feasible, of all such intellectual property. If a case is commenced by or against a Party (the “Debtor Party”) under Title 11, the Debtor Party (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, a Title 11 trustee) shall:

(a) as the other Party (the “Non-Debtor Party”) may elect in a written request, immediately upon such request:

(i) perform all of the obligations provided in this Agreement to be performed by the Debtor Party including, where applicable and without limitation, providing to the Non-Debtor Party portions of such intellectual property (including embodiments thereof) held by the Debtor Party and such successors and assigns or otherwise available to them; or

 

84


(ii) provide to the Non-Debtor Party all such intellectual property (including all embodiments thereof to the extent provided by applicable non-bankruptcy law and this Agreement) held by the Debtor Party and such successors and assigns or otherwise available to them; and

(b) not interfere with the rights of the Non-Debtor Party under this Agreement, or any agreement supplemental hereto, to such intellectual property (including such embodiments), including any right to obtain such intellectual property (or such embodiments) from another entity, to the extent provided in Section 365(n) of Title 11.

(c) Rights to Intellectual Property. If (i) a Title 11 case is commenced by or against the Debtor Party, (ii) this Agreement is rejected as provided in Title 11, and (iii) the Non-Debtor Party elects to retain its rights under this Agreement as provided in Title 11, then the Debtor Party (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, a Title 11 trustee) shall provide to the Non-Debtor Party all such intellectual property (including all embodiments thereof) held by the Debtor Party and such successors and assigns, or otherwise available to them, immediately upon the Non-Debtor Party’s written request. Whenever the Debtor Party or any of its successors or assigns provides to the Non-Debtor Party any of the intellectual property licensed under this Agreement (or any embodiment thereof to the extent provided by applicable non-bankruptcy law and this Agreement) pursuant to this Section 10.11, the Non-Debtor Party shall have the right to perform the obligations of the Debtor Party under this Agreement with respect to such intellectual property, but neither such provision nor such performance by the Non-Debtor Party shall release the Debtor Party from any such obligation or liability for failing to perform it. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the milestone payments to be paid under Section 6.2 (and any other payment by Salix to Progenics under this Agreement other than the royalties to be paid under Section 6.5 and milestone payments to be paid under Section 6.3) do not constitute “royalties” within the meaning of Title 11 or relate to licenses of intellectual property under this Agreement.

(d) Additional Rights. All rights, powers and remedies of the Non-Debtor Party provided herein are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other rights, powers and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including, without limitation, Title 11) in the event of the commencement of a Title 11 case by or against the Debtor Party. The Non-Debtor Party, in addition to the rights, power and remedies expressly provided herein, shall be entitled to exercise all other such rights and powers and resort to all other such remedies as may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity (including, without limitation, Title 11) in such event. The Parties agree that they intend the foregoing rights to extend to the maximum extent permitted by law, including, without limitation, for purposes of Title 11:

(i) the right of access to any intellectual property (including all embodiments thereof) of the Debtor Party, or any Third Party with whom the Debtor Party contracts to perform an obligation of the Debtor Party under this Agreement, and, in the case of the Third Party, which is necessary for the research, Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of the Product in the Territory; and

 

85


(ii) the right to contract directly with any Third Party to complete the contracted work.

11.2. Indemnification by Progenics. Progenics will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Salix, its Affiliates, distributors and each of its and their respective employees, officers, directors and agents (each, a “Salix Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Liabilities that the Salix Indemnified Party may be required to pay to one or more Third Parties resulting from or arising out of: (a) any intentional misconduct or gross negligence on the part of Progenics or its Affiliates in performing any activity contemplated by this Agreement; (b) personal injury or death of any person as a result of use of any Product containing the Compound supplied or sold by Progenics or its Affiliates or licensees or Sublicensees (other than Salix), including Product sold by Progenics or its Affiliates or licensees or Sublicensees (other than Salix) that is the subject of the Triad Recall; (c) the conduct by Progenics or its Affiliates or licensees or Sublicensees of any pre-clinical or clinical studies, including Clinical Studies identified in Schedule 9.2(p), in respect of the Compound or Products; (d) liabilities retained by Progenics and its Affiliates pursuant to Section 4.6(d) and (e), if any, in respect of Progenics Third Party Agreements assigned and delegated by Progenics or its Affiliates or licensees to Salix pursuant to such Section; or (e) the material breach by any Progenics Party of any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement, provided that with respect to those contained in Section 9.2, such indemnification shall be subject to Section 9.3; except, in each case, ((a), (b), (c), (d) and (e)), to the extent caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Salix or any Salix Indemnified Party or a breach by Salix of any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement.

11.3. Procedure. Each Party will notify the other Party in writing in the event it becomes aware of a Claim for which indemnification may be sought hereunder. In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Party in

 

86


respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Article 11, such Party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing and the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall meet to discuss how to respond to any Claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in defense of such matter. The Indemnifying Party, upon request of the Indemnified Party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such Claim, 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 unless (a) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (b) the named parties to any such Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both Parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. All such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Claim effected without its written consent, but, if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Claim in respect of which the Indemnified Party is, or arising out of 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.

13.5. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be found in any jurisdiction to be in violation of public policy or illegal or unenforceable in law or equity, such finding shall not invalidate any other provision of this Agreement in that jurisdiction. If any provision hereof should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdictions then, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(a) all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be construed in order to carry out the intentions of the Expanded Parties hereto as nearly as may be possible;

(b) such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction; and

(c) the Expanded Parties shall promptly negotiate in good faith a replacement provision to carry out the intention of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Expanded Party hereby waives any provision of Applicable Law that would render any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any aspect.

13.6. Entire Agreement.

(a) This Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules attached hereto and the Related Agreements, states the entire agreement reached between the Expanded Parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement, together with the Related Agreements, replaces and supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings between the Expanded Parties regarding the subject matter hereof and thereof, whether written or oral.

(b) Simultaneously herewith, (i) the Expanded Parties are entering into a 2010 Agreement Related to Progenics’s MNTX In-License with the University of Chicago and ARCH Development Corporation; (ii) Salix and Progenics are entering into a Trademark Co-operation Agreement; and (iii) the Expanded Parties are entering into the Transition Agreement (collectively, the “Related Agreements”). The effectiveness of this Agreement is expressly conditioned on the execution and delivery of each of the Related Agreements by each of the parties thereto.

13.7. Modifications; No Waiver. No amendment, modification, release, waiver or discharge shall be binding upon the Expanded Parties unless in writing and duly executed by authorized representatives of both Parties, and shall not otherwise affect the terms and provisions of this Agreement not affected thereby, which shall remain in full force and effect. The failure of any Expanded Party hereto to enforce at any time, or for any period of time, any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision or of the right of such Expanded Party thereafter to enforce each and every provision.

13.8. Cumulative Remedies. Except to the extent expressly stated in this Agreement, no remedy referred to in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to in this Agreement or otherwise available under equity or law.

13.9. Assignment; Binding Effect.

(a) Without the prior written consent of the other Expanded Parties hereto, which consent shall not after it has been requested be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, no other Expanded Party shall sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, this Agreement or any of its rights or duties hereunder; provided, however, that any Expanded Party hereto may assign or transfer this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the consent of the other Expanded Parties (i) to any Affiliate of such Expanded Party; or (ii) to any Third Party with which it merges or consolidates, or to which it transfers all or substantially all of its assets relating to Products if in any such event (A) the assigning Expanded Party (provided that it is not the surviving entity) remains jointly and severally liable with the relevant Affiliate or Third Party assignee under this Agreement, and (B) the relevant Affiliate assignee, Third Party assignee or surviving entity assumes in writing all of the assigning Expanded Party’s obligations under this Agreement. For purposes of clarification, a Third Party that merges or consolidates with an Expanded Party or an Affiliate of an Expanded Party, or to which an Expanded Party or an Affiliate of an Expanded Party transfers all or substantially all of its assets to which this Agreement relates, shall not be deemed to grant the other Expanded Parties to this Agreement any license to such Third Party’s technology in existence as of the effective date of such merger, consolidation or transfer, unless such grant is made pursuant to a separate agreement, provided such Third Party shall maintain all licenses granted hereunder by such first Expanded Party with respect to its technology and any information, materials and inventions with respect thereto. Any purported assignment or transfer in violation of this Section 13.9(a) shall be void ab initio and of no force or effect.

(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Expanded Parties and each of their successors and permitted assigns.

(c) Progenics may assign its rights to (i) [*], (ii) [*] described in Section [*], (iii) [*] as described in Section [*], and (iv) [*] pursuant to Section [*].

13.10. Change in Control of Progenics; Acquisition.

If any dispute arising out of, in connection with or relating to this Agreement occurs (a “Dispute”), including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, but, subject to Section 3.5(c), excluding any dispute relating to a matter within the jurisdiction of the JSC, any Expanded Party may, by notice to the other Expanded Parties party to such Dispute, have such Dispute referred to their respective officer designated below for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations within [*] ([*]) days after such notice is received (“Executive Mediation”). Such negotiations shall not be admissible in any subsequent dispute resolution proceeding. Said designated officers are: (a) for the Progenics Parties: [*], and (b) for Salix: [*]. If the designated officers are unable to resolve the dispute, then any Expanded Party may seek to resolve the dispute pursuant to litigation in accordance with Section 13.17. The Expanded Parties shall continue performing their obligations under the Agreement in accordance with its provisions pending the outcome of Executive Mediation under this Section 13.12.

(b) Interim Relief. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 13.12 shall preclude any Expanded Party from seeking interim or provisional relief, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief concerning a Dispute, if necessary to protect the interests of such Expanded Party. This Section 13.12 shall be specifically enforceable.
