23

(a)                                 If and to the extent that the actions or events that give rise to an Employee Inventor Remuneration Entitlement are related exclusively to Abbott, Abbott shall indemnify and hold harmless AbbVie from and against the Employee Inventor Remuneration Entitlements resulting from such actions or events.  If and to the extent that the actions or events that give rise to an Employee Inventor Remuneration Entitlement are related exclusively to AbbVie, AbbVie shall indemnify and hold harmless Abbott from and against the Employee Inventor Remuneration Entitlements resulting from such actions and events.  If and to the extent that the actions or events that give rise to an Employee Inventor Remuneration Entitlement are related to both Parties, then the Party who is not legally obligated to pay the Employee Inventor Remuneration Entitlements shall indemnify and hold harmless the other Party from and against the Employee Inventor Remuneration Entitlements resulting from such actions or events on a pro rata basis, taking into account the relative benefit from such actions and events to the Party not legally obligated to pay the Employee Inventor Remuneration Entitlements.

(b)                                 If the determination, adjustment, adaption or other assessment of an Employee Inventor Remuneration Entitlement is, or becomes after the Effective Time, the subject matter of: (i) any Proceeding; (ii) any consultations, negotiations or agreement with the relevant employee or a body of employees; or (iii) a unilateral decision of a Party (each of (i) through (iii), including any appeals, a “Remuneration Assessment”), the Parties shall cooperate with respect to such Remuneration Assessment in good faith.  The Party against which a Remuneration Assessment is made shall: (A) provide Notice to the other Party about, and offer the other Party reasonable opportunity to participate in, the Remuneration Assessment; (B) take the other Party’s reasonable comments and requests into due consideration; and (C) refrain from acknowledging or settling, agreeing to or unilaterally deciding on the relevant Employee Inventor Remuneration Entitlement without the other Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(e)                                  Included Improvements. If, during the term of the applicable manufacturing agreement, a Party Develops a Special Product, and either (i) the other Party opted into the Development pursuant to Section 5.02(a) or (ii) the estimated Development costs were not expected to be in excess of three million United States Dollars ($3,000,000), then any Improvement resulting from such Development shall be included in the definition of Special Products for purposes of this Agreement, all intellectual property rights arising from such Development shall be included in the license grant in Section 3.01 or Section 3.02, as applicable, any Know-How created or developed in the course of such Development shall be considered Special Products Know-How and jointly owned, and any Improvement resulting from any such Development shall be included in the technology transfer to the other Party at the expiration of the applicable manufacturing agreement in accordance with the terms of such manufacturing agreement.

Section 5.03                             Development Activities for New Products.  Either Party shall be free to Develop New Products.  Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or a Special Products Ancillary Agreement, neither Party shall have the right to opt-in to the Development activities of the other Party with respect to the Development of a New Product.  However, if a Party desires to conduct Clinical Development with respect to a New Product and at such time, the other Party is Commercializing the Special Product corresponding to such Clinical Development, then the Party planning such Clinical Development shall submit to the other Party a copy of the plan for such Clinical Development.

ARTICLE VII
MANUFACTURING MATTERS

Section 7.01                             Supply.  In accordance with and subject to the terms of a manufacturing agreement, the Parties shall agree upon which Party shall be responsible for the manufacture of each Special Product (in each case, the “Manufacturing Party”); provided that supply may be from one Party, or the other Party, or both Parties, depending on the supply chain for each Special Product or formulation thereof, and may span more than one manufacturing agreement.  During the term of a manufacturing agreement, the non-Manufacturing Party shall purchase the Special Product from the Manufacturing Party and the Manufacturing Party shall manufacture and supply the Special Product to the non-Manufacturing Party in accordance with this Article VII and the more detailed terms of the particular manufacturing agreement.

Section 7.02                             Cooperation.  ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and AbbVie shall each reasonably and in good faith cooperate with the other to resolve any operational issues (e.g., issues related to forecasting, ordering, batch review, acceptance and rejection of Special Products, and allocation of supply) that arise with respect to the manufacture of Special Products supplied pursuant to a manufacturing agreement.

ARTICLE VIII
REGULATORY MATTERS

Section 8.01                             Ownership of Regulatory Approvals.  All Regulatory Documentation for the Special Products to be Commercialized in the Abbott Territory shall be filed in the name of and owned by Abbott, an Abbott Subsidiary or their respective designees.  All Regulatory Documentation for the Special Products to be Commercialized in the AbbVie Territory shall be

29

filed in the name of and owned by AbbVie, an AbbVie Subsidiary or their respective designees.  In the event a Party seeks to withdraw a Regulatory Approval of a Special Product in its territory, such Party shall so notify the other Party in writing not less than ninety (90) days prior to seeking such withdrawal and shall discuss in good faith and endeavor to agree to a mitigation strategy regarding the negative impact, if any, such withdrawal is reasonably likely to have on such other Party’s business with respect to such Special Product.

Section 8.02                             Allocation of Regulatory Responsibilities.  The Parties agree to the following allocation of responsibilities with respect to regulatory matters related to the Special Products:

(a)                                 Interactions with Governmental Authorities.  Except as set forth in any Special Products Ancillary Agreement or In-Licensed Intellectual Property Agreement and subject to the provisions of Section 8.03, each Party shall be responsible for interfacing, corresponding and meeting with Governmental Authorities with respect to all issues primarily related to the Special Products in its territory (each, respectively, the “Interacting Party”).  When engaging in such actions, the Interacting Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain obligations of confidentiality of the other Party with respect to information relating to the Special Products. The Interacting Party shall provide the other Party in a timely manner with written meeting minutes or a summary of significant meetings with any Governmental Authority in any of the Major Jurisdictions with respect to a Special Product.  Subject to the provisions of Section 8.03, the other Party shall not, without the prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Interacting Party or unless so required by Law (and then only pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.02(a)), correspond or communicate with any Governmental Authority in the Interacting Party’s territory concerning a Special Product.  If the other Party is advised by its legal counsel that it is required by Law to communicate with any such Governmental Authority, then the other Party shall so advise the Interacting Party in writing as soon as practicable and, unless the Law prohibits, provide the Interacting Party, to the extent practicable, in advance with a copy of any proposed written communication with such Governmental Authority and reasonably comply with any and all reasonable direction of the Interacting Party concerning any meeting or written or oral communication with such Governmental Authority in the Interacting Party’s territory concerning a Special Product.

(b)                                 Submissions to Governmental Authorities.  Except as set forth in a Special Products Ancillary Agreement or In-License Intellectual Property Agreement and subject to the provisions of Section 8.03, the Interacting Party shall be responsible for (i) preparing and submitting to the applicable Governmental Authority (A) all annual and other periodic updates to the Regulatory Approvals for the Special Products that are required in its territory and (B) all supplements and amendments to any Regulatory Approvals with respect to Special Products in its territory (collectively and individually the items set forth in (A) and (B) above shall be referred to as “Regulatory Submission”), and (ii) taking all other actions that are necessary to maintain the Regulatory Approvals for the Special Products in its territory in accordance with

30

applicable Laws.  In the event Governmental Authorities require that a single, common Regulatory Submission be submitted in both the Abbott Territory and the AbbVie Territory, the Parties shall discuss and determine the proper allocation of responsibilities with respect to preparing such Regulatory Submissions.

(c)                                  Support of Regulatory Submissions.  Upon request, the other Party shall provide in a timely manner data (other than Clinical Development Data) it holds regarding Regulatory Approvals in its territory that may be required by the Interacting Party to prepare and submit Regulatory Submissions in the Interacting Party’s territory.  With respect to Clinical Development Data, each Party shall provide in a timely manner to the other Party all Clinical Development Data it holds regarding Regulatory Approvals in its territory for Special Products. However, with respect to all data described in this Section 8.02(c) that relates to Development of a Special Product initiated after the Effective Time, unless the Interacting Party has obtained rights pursuant to Section 5.02(e) to the data that is generated from such Development, the Interacting Party may not use the data provided by other Party under this Section 8.02(c) for purposes of expanding its labeling or obtaining additional approvals for the applicable Special Product.  All data provided by other Party under this Section 8.02(c) shall be provided “as-is”, without additional formatting or analysis.  Further, if requested, the Party providing such data shall provide uncertified translations of documents received from a Governmental Authority (e.g., deficiency letters) that are not written in English.  The cost of such translations shall be borne by the providing Party if the requested data is required by a Governmental Authority and by the requesting Party in all other circumstances.

Section 8.03                             Sharing of Correspondence with Governmental Authorities.  Each Party shall promptly provide to the other copies of any documents or correspondence received from a Governmental Authority pertaining to a Special Product (including any meeting minutes) to the extent such documents and correspondence have a reasonable potential to impact the labeling, or to materially impact the Commercialization of a Special Product in the other Party’s territory.

31

Section 8.04                             Pharmacovigilance and Medical Inquiries.

(a)                                 Pharmacovigilance.  Each Party agrees to share relevant information it receives (either directly or indirectly) with the other Party in a timely manner so as to allow the responsible Party to comply with its responsibility to process pharmacovigilance information.  Pursuant to the terms of a safety data exchange agreement, the maintaining Party shall provide the other Party access to such data for each Special Product.

(b)                                 Medical Inquiries.  AbbVie shall be ultimately responsible for handling all medical questions or inquiries in the AbbVie Territory with regard to the Special Products.  Abbott shall forward all medical questions or inquiries made to Abbott from members of the medical and paramedical professions and consumers regarding the Special Products in the AbbVie Territory in accordance with a safety data exchange agreement.  Abbott shall be ultimately responsible for handling all medical questions or inquiries in the Abbott Territory with regard to the Special Products.  AbbVie shall forward all medical questions or inquiries made to AbbVie from members of the medical and paramedical professions and consumers regarding the Special Products in the Abbott Territory in accordance with a safety data exchange agreement.

Section 8.05                             Labeling Changes.  In the event either Party seeks to change a core label and/or core package insert (e.g., the CCDS, MasterSmPC, core PIL, US PI or its equivalent) for a Special Product due to safety or efficacy concerns, the Party seeking to make the change shall notify the other Party and provide the other Party with applicable data for its review and evaluation within thirty (30) days of compiling such data.  The Parties may discuss in good faith and endeavor to agree upon all proposed significant safety or efficacy changes to the labeling and/or package inserts for Special Products in Major Jurisdictions.  Each Party agrees to consider all comments of the other in good faith. Notwithstanding any good faith discussions, Abbott shall have the right to file for such labeling change as it reasonably deems appropriate in the Abbott Territory and AbbVie shall have the right to file for such labeling change as it reasonably deems appropriate in the AbbVie Territory, as applicable.

Section 8.06                             Notification or Information.  Each Party shall promptly inform the other Party of any notification of any action by, or notification or other information which it receives (directly or indirectly) from, any Governmental Authority in the AbbVie Territory or Abbott Territory or from any other Person (together with copies of correspondence related thereto), which (a) raises any material concerns regarding the safety or efficacy of any Special Product, (b) indicates or suggests a potential material Liability for either Party to any Third Party arising in connection with any Special Product, or (c) indicates a reasonable potential for a Recall of any Special Product; provided, however, that neither Party shall be obliged to disclose information in breach of any contractual restriction which it could not reasonably have avoided.  Information that shall be disclosed pursuant to this Section 8.06 (to the extent such information otherwise satisfies the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence) shall include:  (i)

32

receipt of a warning letter, untitled letter or any other related Governmental Authority action relating to any Special Product and any responses related thereto; and (ii) an initiation of any Governmental Authority Proceeding, detention, seizure or injunction concerning any Special Product.

Section 8.07                             Recalls.

(a)                                 Notification.  Each Party shall within one (1) business day notify the other Party in writing if it determines that any event, incident or circumstance has occurred which may result in the need for a recall, market withdrawal or field alert (each, a “Recall”) with respect to a Special Product.

(b)                                 Recalls in the Respective Territories.  Each Party shall determine whether to implement a Recall of a Special Product in its territory and upon what terms and conditions the Special Product shall be subject to a Recall; provided, however, that, prior to any implementation of a Recall of a Special Product in its territory, to the extent practicable, the Party conducting the Recall shall consult with the other Party and consider in good faith any comments such Party may have with respect to such implementation.  Each Party shall be responsible for discussions with any Governmental Authority in its territory regarding all aspects of a Recall.

(c)                                  Costs and Expenses of Recalls.  All costs and expenses associated with implementing any Recall of a Special Product shall be allocated between ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and AbbVie as follows:

(i)                                     In the event, and to the extent, that the Recall arises out of (A) the negligence or willful misconduct of AbbVie, or (B) a material breach of this Agreement or the applicable manufacturing Agreement by AbbVie, AbbVie shall bear the costs and expenses for the Recall (including any out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Abbott in conducting such Recall), up to one hundred percent (100%) thereof.

(ii)                                  In the event, and to the extent, that the Recall arises out of (A) the negligence or willful misconduct of Abbott, or (B) a material breach of this Agreement or the applicable manufacturing agreement by Abbott, Abbott shall bear the costs and expenses for the Recall (including any out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by AbbVie in conducting such Recall), up to one hundred percent (100%) thereof.

(iii)                               In the event, and to the extent, that the Recall arises out of any event other than those set forth in Section 8.07(c)(i) or Section 8.07(c)(ii), Abbott shall bear the costs and expenses for the Recall in the Abbott Territory and AbbVie shall bear the costs and expenses for the Recall in the AbbVie Territory.

33

ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.01                             Indemnification by AbbVie.  Except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement or of any Special Products Ancillary Agreement, AbbVie and each of the AbbVie Subsidiaries shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Abbott Indemnitees from and against all AbbVie Indemnity Obligations, except to the extent any such Liability is the result of a breach by Abbott or an Abbott Subsidiary of this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement or the negligence or willful misconduct or omission by Abbott or an Abbott Subsidiary under this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement; provided, however, that the indemnity in this Section 9.01 for AbbVie Special Products Liabilities shall not extend to a former director, officer, employee or agent of AbbVie or an AbbVie Subsidiary to the extent such Person would not be eligible for indemnification under the terms of (i) ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ certificate of incorporation or bylaws in connection with the matter for which indemnification is sought due to action or inaction by such Person in connection with such matter; or (ii) the directors’ and officers’ insurance policy of Abbott would not cover such Person in connection with the matter for which indemnification is sought due to action or inaction by such Person in connection with such matter.

Section 9.02                             Indemnification by Abbott.  Except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement or of any Special Products Ancillary Agreement, Abbott and each of the Abbott Subsidiaries shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the AbbVie Indemnitees from and against all Abbott Indemnity Obligations, except to the extent any such Liability is the result of a breach by AbbVie or an AbbVie Subsidiary of this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement or the negligence or willful misconduct or omission by AbbVie or an AbbVie Subsidiary under this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement; provided, however, that the indemnity in this Section 9.02 for Abbott Special Products Liabilities shall not extend to a former director, officer, employee or agent of Abbott or an Abbott Subsidiary to the extent such Person would not be eligible for indemnification under the terms of (i) AbbVie’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws in connection with the matter for which indemnification is sought due to action or inaction by such Person in connection with such matter; or (ii) the directors’ and officers’ insurance policy of AbbVie would not cover such Person in connection with the matter for which indemnification is sought due to action or inaction by such Person in connection with such matter.

Section 9.03                             Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a)                                 Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.  The Parties intend that any Liability subject to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement:  (i) shall be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of any indemnifiable Liability; (ii) shall not be increased to take into account any Tax costs incurred by the

34

Indemnitee arising from any Indemnity Payments received from the Indemnifying Party (as defined below); and (iii) shall not be reduced to take into account any Tax benefit received by the Indemnitee arising from the incurrence or payment of any Indemnity Payment; provided that Section 9.03(a)(ii) and Section 9.03(a)(iii) shall not apply to Indemnity Payments made pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement.  Accordingly, the amount which either Party against whom a claim is made for indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Indemnitee shall be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or any other amounts theretofore actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of the related Liability.  If an Indemnitee receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability (an “Indemnity Payment”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or any other amounts in respect of the related Liability, then the Indemnitee shall pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or such other amounts (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b)                                 Insurers and Other Third Parties Not Relieved.  The Parties hereby agree that an insurer or other Third Party that would otherwise be obligated to pay any amount shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or have any subrogation rights with respect thereto by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement, and that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a “windfall” (e.g., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification or release provisions) by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement.  Each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to collect or recover, or allow the Indemnifying Party to collect or recover, any Insurance Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable respecting the Liabilities for which indemnification may be available under this Article IX.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making any indemnification payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Proceeding to collect or recover Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnitee need not attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement.

Section 9.04                             Procedures for Indemnification of Third Party Claims.

(a)                                 Notice of Claims.  If, at or following the date of this Agreement, an Indemnitee receives notice or otherwise learns of the assertion or commencement by a Third Party of any Proceeding against the Indemnitee with respect to which the Indemnitee believes that AbbVie (in the case of an Abbott Indemnitee) or Abbott (in the case of an AbbVie Indemnitee) is obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to this

35

Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement (collectively, a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party Notice thereof within ten (10) days (or sooner if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim.  The Notice must describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail or, in the alternative, include copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnitee to give the Notice as provided in this Section 9.04(a) shall not relieve the related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article IX, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give the Notice in accordance with this Section 9.04(a).

(b)                                 Control of Defense.  An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and seek to settle or compromise), at its own expense and with its own counsel, any Third Party Claim.  Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of a Notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 9.04(a) (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall provide a Notice to the Indemnitee indicating whether the Indemnifying Party shall assume responsibility for defending the Third Party Claim and specifying any reservations or exceptions to its defense.  If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third Party Claim or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Notice from an Indemnitee as provided in Section 9.04(a), then the Indemnitee that is the subject of such Third Party Claim shall be entitled to continue to conduct and control the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(c)                                  Allocation of Defense Costs.  If an Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, whether with or without any reservations or exceptions with respect to such defense, then such Indemnifying Party shall be solely liable for all fees and expenses incurred by it in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim and shall not be entitled to seek any indemnification or reimbursement from the Indemnitee for any such fees or expenses incurred during the course of its defense of such Third Party Claim, regardless of any subsequent decision by the Indemnifying Party to reject or otherwise abandon its assumption of such defense.  If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third Party Claim or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Notice from an Indemnitee as provided in Section 9.04(a), and the Indemnitee conducts and controls the defense of such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(d)                                 Right to Monitor and Participate.  An Indemnitee that does not conduct and control the defense of any Third Party Claim, or an Indemnifying Party that has failed to elect to defend any Third Party Claim as contemplated hereby, nevertheless shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) of its own choosing to monitor and participate in (but not control) the defense of any Third Party Claim for which it is a potential Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall

36

be at the expense of such Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, and the provisions of Section 9.04(c) shall not apply to such fees and expenses.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Party shall cooperate with the Party entitled to conduct and control the defense of such Third Party Claim in such defense and make available to the controlling Party, at the non-controlling Party’s expense, all witnesses, information and materials in such Party’s possession or under such Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the controlling Party.  In addition to the foregoing, if any Indemnitee shall in good faith determine that such Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party have actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interest between them that make joint representation inappropriate, then the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for all Indemnitees.

(e)                                  No Settlement.  Neither Party may settle or compromise any Third Party Claim for which either Party is seeking to be indemnified hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld; unless such settlement or compromise is solely for monetary damages, does not involve any finding or determination of wrongdoing or violation of Law by the other Party and provides for a full, unconditional and irrevocable release of the other Party from all Liability in connection with the Third Party Claim.  The Parties hereby agree that if a Party presents the other Party with a Notice containing a proposal to settle or compromise a Third Party Claim for which either Party is seeking to be indemnified hereunder and the Party receiving such proposal does not respond in any manner to the Party presenting such proposal within thirty (30) days (or within any such shorter time period that may be required by applicable Law or court order) of receipt of such proposal, then the Party receiving such proposal shall be deemed to have consented to the terms of such proposal.

(f)                                   Pending Third Party Claims.  The provisions of this Article IX shall apply to Third Party Claims that are already pending or asserted as well as Third Party Claims brought or asserted after the date of this Agreement.  There shall be no requirement under this Section 9.04 to give a Notice with respect to any Third Party Claims that exist as of the Effective Time.

(g)                                  Allocation of Proceeding Liabilities.  The Parties acknowledge that Liabilities for Proceedings (regardless of the parties to the applicable Proceeding) may be partly Abbott Liabilities and partly AbbVie Liabilities.  If the Parties cannot agree on an allocation of any such Liabilities for Proceedings, they shall resolve the matter pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article XI.  Neither Party shall, nor shall either Party permit its Subsidiaries to, file Third Party claims or cross-claims against the other Party or its Subsidiaries in a Proceeding in which a Third Party Claim is being resolved.

37

Section 9.05                             Additional Matters.

(a)                                 Timing of Payments.  Indemnity Payments or contribution payments in respect of any Liabilities for which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article IX shall be paid reasonably promptly (but in any event within sixty (60) days of the final determination of the amount that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article IX) by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee as such Liabilities are incurred upon demand by the Indemnitee, including reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for the amount of such Indemnity Payments or contribution payments, including documentation with respect to calculations made and consideration of any Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of such Liabilities.  The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Article IIX shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee; and (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Liabilities for which it might be entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder.

(b)                                 Notice of Direct Claims.  Any claim for indemnification under this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) must be asserted by a Notice given by the Indemnitee to the applicable Indemnifying Party; provided, that the failure by an Indemnitee to so assert any such Direct Claim shall not prejudice the ability of the Indemnitee to do so at a later time except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby.  Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such Notice within which to respond thereto.  If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period, such Direct Claim specified in such Notice shall be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 9.05(b) or, in the case of any Notice in which the amount of the Direct Claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date, when the amount of such Direct Claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.  If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period or rejects such Direct Claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such Indemnitee as contemplated by this Agreement or the Special Products Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, without prejudice to its continuing rights to pursue indemnification or contribution hereunder.

(c)                                  Subrogation.  In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third Party Claim or against any other Person.  Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

(d)                                 Pursuit of Claims Against Third Parties.  If (i) a Party incurs any Liability arising out of this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement; (ii) an adequate

38

legal or equitable remedy is not available for any reason against the other Party to satisfy the Liability incurred by the incurring Party; and (iii) a legal or equitable remedy may be available to the other Party against a Third Party for such Liability, then the other Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the incurring Party, at the incurring Party’s expense, to permit the incurring Party to obtain the benefits of such legal or equitable remedy against the Third Party.

(e)                                  Substitution.  In any Proceeding in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party shall so request, the Parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant if they conclude that substitution is desirable and practicable.  If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying Party to manage the Proceeding as set forth in Section 9.04 and this Section 9.05, and the Indemnifying Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant against all costs of defending the Proceeding (including court costs, sanctions imposed by a court, attorneys’ fees, experts fees and all other external expenses), the costs of any judgment or settlement, and the cost of any interest or penalties relating to any judgment or settlement.

Section 9.06                             Right of Contribution.

(a)                                 Contribution.  If any right of indemnification contained in Section 9.01 or Section 9.02 is held unenforceable or is unavailable for any reason, or is insufficient, to hold harmless an Indemnitee in respect of any Liability for which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by the Indemnitees as a result of such Liability (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Indemnitees entitled to contribution, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(b)                                 Contribution Procedures.  The provisions of Section 9.03 through Section 9.05 shall govern any contribution claims.

Section 9.07                             Remedies Cumulative.  The remedies provided in this Article IX shall be cumulative and, subject to the provisions of Section 9.09 and Section 11.01, shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

Section 9.08                             Survival of Indemnities.  The rights and obligations of each of the Parties and their respective Indemnitees under this Article IX shall survive (a) the sale or other transfer by either Party or any of its respective Subsidiaries of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities; or (b) any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of all or substantially all of the Assets, restructuring, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction involving either Party or any of its respective Subsidiaries.

39

Section 9.09                             Covenant Not to ▇▇▇.  Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that none of it, its Subsidiaries or any Person claiming through it shall bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against any Indemnitee, or assert a defense against any claim asserted by any Indemnitee, before any court, arbitrator, neutral mediator or administrative agency anywhere in the world, alleging that:  (a) the assumption of any AbbVie Special Products Liabilities by AbbVie and the AbbVie Subsidiaries on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Special Products Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason; (b) the retention of any Abbott Special Products Liabilities by Abbott and the Abbott Subsidiaries on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Special Products Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason; or (c) the provisions of this Article IX are void or unenforceable for any reason.

ARTICLE X
CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 10.01                      Confidentiality.

(a)                                 Confidentiality.  Subject to Section 10.02 and except as contemplated by or otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement, Abbott, on behalf of itself and each of the Abbott Subsidiaries, and AbbVie, on behalf of itself and each of the AbbVie Subsidiaries, agrees to hold, and to cause its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives (each, a “Representative”) to hold, in strict confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ confidential and proprietary information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Effective Time, all confidential and proprietary information, including Know-How, concerning the other Party (or its business) and the other Party’s Subsidiaries (or their respective businesses) that is either in its possession (including confidential and proprietary information in its possession prior to the Effective Time) or furnished by the other Party or the other Party’s Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement (“Confidential Information”), and shall not use any such Confidential Information other than for such purposes as may be expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder, except, in each case, to the extent that such Confidential Information has been: (i) in the public domain or generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives in violation of this Agreement; provided, however, that any such disclosure shall not be deemed to be in the public domain or generally available to the public merely because it is embraced by more general information in the public domain or generally available to the public; (ii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries, which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality with respect to such confidential and proprietary information; or (iii) independently developed or generated without reference to or use of the respective proprietary or confidential information of the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries.  If any Confidential Information of one Party or any of its Subsidiaries is disclosed to another Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with providing services to such first

40

Party or any of its Subsidiaries under this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement, then such disclosed Confidential Information shall be used only as required to perform such services.

(b)                                 No Release; Return or Destruction.  Each Party agrees not to release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any Confidential Information addressed in Section 10.01(a) to any other Person, except its Representatives who need to know such Confidential Information in their capacities as such, and except in compliance with Section 10.02.  Confidential Information furnished by the other Party after the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.03 of the Separation Agreement.

(c)                                  Third-Party Information; Privacy or Data Protection Laws.  Each Party acknowledges that it and its respective Subsidiaries may presently have and following the Effective Time may gain access to or possession of confidential or proprietary information of, or personal information relating to, Third Parties (i) that was received under confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements entered into between such Third Parties, on the one hand, and the other Party or the other Party’s Subsidiaries, on the other hand, prior to the Effective Time; or (ii) that, as between the two Parties, was originally collected by the other Party or the other Party’s Subsidiaries and that may be subject to and protected by privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws.  As may be provided in more detail in any applicable Special Products Ancillary Agreement, each Party agrees that it shall hold, protect and use, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to hold, protect and use, in strict confidence the confidential and proprietary information of, or personal information relating to, Third Parties in accordance with privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws and the terms of any agreements that were either entered into prior to the Effective Time or affirmative commitments or representations that were made prior to the Effective Time by, between or among the other Party or the other Party’s Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and such Third Parties, on the other hand.

Section 10.02      Protective Arrangements.  In the event that either Party or any of its Subsidiaries is requested or required (by oral question, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) by any Governmental Authority or pursuant to applicable Law to disclose or provide any Confidential Information of the other Party, as applicable, that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such Party shall provide the other Party with Notice of such request or demand as promptly as practicable under the circumstances so that such other Party shall have an opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order, at such other Party’s cost and expense.  In the event that such other Party fails to receive such appropriate protective order in a timely manner and the Party receiving the request or demand reasonably determines that its failure to disclose or provide such Confidential Information shall actually prejudice the Party receiving the request or demand, then the Party that received such request or demand may thereafter disclose or

41

provide Confidential Information to the extent required by such Law (as so advised by counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority.

Section 10.03                      Other Permitted Disclosures.  Each Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is:

(a)                                 made by or on behalf of the Party making a disclosure to the Regulatory Authorities as required in connection with any filing, application or request for Regulatory Approval in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that reasonable measures shall be taken to assure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information to the extent practicable and consistent with applicable Law;

(b)                                 made by or on behalf of the Party making a disclosure to a patent authority as may be reasonably necessary or useful for purposes of obtaining, defending or enforcing a Patent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that reasonable measures shall be taken to assure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information, to the extent such protection is available;

(c)                                  made by the Party making the disclosure to its and its Subsidiaries’ financial and legal advisors who have a need to know such disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and are either under professional codes of conduct giving rise to expectations of confidentiality and non-use or under written agreements of confidentiality and non-use, in each case, at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Agreement; provided that the Party making the disclosure under this Section 10.03(c) shall remain responsible for any failure by such financial and legal advisors, to treat such Confidential Information as required under this Article X;

(d)                                 made by the Party (or its Subsidiaries) making the disclosure to potential or actual investors or acquirers as may be necessary in connection with their evaluation of such potential or actual investment or acquisition; provided, however, that such Third Parties shall be subject to obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to such Confidential Information substantially similar to the obligations of confidentiality and non-use of the Party pursuant to this Article X (with a duration of confidentiality and non-use obligations as appropriate that is no less than ten (10) years from the date of disclosure); or

(e)                                  made by the Party (or its Subsidiaries or sublicensees) making the disclosure to its or their advisors, consultants, clinicians, vendors, service providers, contractors, existing or prospective collaboration partners, licensees, sublicensees, or other Third Parties as may be necessary or useful in connection with the performance of its obligations or exercise of its rights as contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that such Third Parties shall be subject to obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to such Confidential Information substantially similar to the obligations of confidentiality and non-use of the receiving Party pursuant to this Article  (with a duration of confidentiality and non-

42

use obligations as appropriate that is no less than five (5) years from the date of disclosure for advisors, consultants, clinicians, vendors, service providers, contractors).

ARTICLE XI
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 11.01                      Disputes.

(a)                                 Alternative Dispute Resolution Procedures.  The Parties acknowledge that, from time to time after the Effective Time, a controversy, dispute or claim (a “Dispute”) may arise relating to either Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement.  The Parties agree that any such Dispute (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement (including regarding whether any Assets are AbbVie Assets, any Liabilities are AbbVie Liabilities or the interpretation or validity of this Agreement) shall be resolved by the dispute resolution process referred to in Schedule 7.01 of the Separation Agreement.

(i)                                     Notice.  Prior to initiating a dispute resolution proceeding, a Party first must send Notice to the other Party (A) describing the Dispute; and (B) requesting attempted resolution of the Dispute by good faith negotiations in accordance with Section 11.01(a)(ii).

(ii)                                  Negotiations.  The CEOs or Presidents of each Party shall designate a group of no more than three individuals (with representatives of each Party’s respective counsel not counting against such three individuals limit), to participate in good faith negotiations with a like group designated by the other Party aimed at resolving the Dispute.  The respective groups shall meet in person to conduct good faith negotiations during the twenty-one (21) day period following receipt of the Notice (such period, as it may be extended by mutual written consent, being the “Designees Discussion Period”).  By mutual written consent, the Parties may extend the twenty-one (21) day period for conducting such negotiations.  If the Parties fail to resolve the Dispute within the Designees Discussion Period, then the CEOs or Presidents of each Party shall review such Dispute, and shall conduct good faith negotiations with respect to such Dispute within fourteen (14) days following the end of the Designees Discussion Period.  If the Dispute is not resolved, within fourteen (14) days after the end of the Designees Discussion Period, and the fourteen (14) day period is not extended by mutual written consent, either Party may initiate a dispute resolution proceeding as provided in Schedule 7.01 of the Separation Agreement.

(b)                                 Continuation of Services and Commitments.  Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, continue to honor all commitments under this Agreement and each Special Products Ancillary Agreement to the extent required by such Agreements during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article XI with respect to all matters related to such Dispute.

Section 13.06      Severability.  In the event that any one or more of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to Persons or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those as to which it has been determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, and the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to substitute one or more valid, legal and enforceable terms or provisions into this Agreement (or the applicable Special Products Ancillary Agreement) which, insofar as practicable, implement the purposes and intent of the Parties.  Any term or provision of this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part, degree or within certain jurisdictions shall remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable to the extent consistent with the intent of the parties as reflected by this Agreement.  To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each party waives any term or provision of Law which renders any term or provision of this Agreement to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect.

Section 13.07      Force Majeure.  Neither Party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement or, unless otherwise expressly provided therein, any Special Products Ancillary Agreement for failure to fulfill any obligation so long as and to the extent to which any delay or failure in the fulfillment of such obligations is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure.  In the event of any such excused delay, the time for performance shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay.  A Party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event, (a) provide Notice to the other Party of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure condition; and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to

47

remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable.

Section 13.12      Waivers of Default.  Waiver by either Party of any default by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of the waiving Party.

Section 13.13      Amendments.  No provisions of this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement shall be deemed amended, supplemented or modified unless such amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of both Parties or their relevant Subsidiaries, as the case may be.  No provisions

48

of this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement shall be deemed waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the Party or relevant Subsidiary against whom it is sought to be enforced.

Section 13.14      Interpretation.  Words in the singular shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa and words of one gender shall be deemed to include the other genders as the context requires.  The terms “hereof,” “herein,” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole (including all of the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and thereto) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.  Article, Section, Exhibit and Schedule references are to the Articles, Sections, Exhibits, and Schedules to this Agreement unless otherwise specified.  Unless otherwise stated, all references to any agreement shall be deemed to include the exhibits, schedules and annexes to such agreement.  The word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean “including, without limitation,” unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise specified.  The word “or” shall not be exclusive.  Unless otherwise specified in a particular case, the word “days” refers to calendar days.  References herein to this Agreement or any Special Products Ancillary Agreement shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement or such Special Products Ancillary Agreement as of the date on which it is executed and as it may be amended, modified or supplemented thereafter, unless otherwise specified.  References to the performance, discharge or fulfillment of any Liability in accordance with its terms shall have meaning only to the extent such Liability has terms.
