2.3		Product Developments.
		(a) Dosage Strengths. From time to time during the Term, Banner and JDS may agree to develop dosage strengths of Products for the Agreement Indications in addition to the dosage strengths listed on Appendix A attached hereto. Upon agreement to develop such dosage strengths, (i) Banner and JDS shall negotiate in good faith and enter into a development agreement specifying, among other things, defined timelines and an established budget pursuant to which JDS shall reimburse Banner for all costs of developing such mutually agreed to additional dosage strengths, including without limitation, actual direct out of pocket costs, Banner’s internal research and development costs determined in an established project accounting system at standard hourly rates, and the costs to obtain Regulatory Approval to market the additional strengths in the Territory. Banner shall invoice JDS for such costs for developing the additional dosage strengths and JDS shall pay such invoices within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice received, and (ii) Appendix A attached hereto shall be amended to include such additional dosage strengths so that the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall then be applicable to the additional dosage strengths so added. If in developing the additional dosage strengths, Banner develops, discovers or creates patentable Intellectual Property that provides a commercial advantage for Product(s) over the then existing technology used to make, use or sell Product(s), and the parties agree that it is commercially advantageous for Banner to implement such Intellectual Property to develop, make, use or sell the Product(s) in new dosage strengths, the parties shall negotiate in good faith appropriate fair compensation to Banner for the added commercial value of such new Banner Intellectual Property (e.g., by upfront milestone fees and/or additional royalties on sales of the new Product dosage strengths). The determination of such fair compensation to Banner will take into consideration, among other things, the amount of funds already expended and to be expended by JDS in developing the Product(s) in additional dosage strengths, the contribution of JDS to the development of the product concept, and the financial return likely to be earned from the proposed

		commercialization of the Product(s) in new dosage strengths. However, if the parties cannot agree to the appropriate fair compensation to Banner for the added commercial value of such new Intellectual Property for the new Product dosage strengths, Appendix A shall not be amended to include such new dosage strengths and such new dosage strengths shall not be included in the Product(s) covered by this Agreement.
		(b) Additional Indications. ***
		(c) Dosage Forms. If during the Term, Banner decides to develop additional dosage forms of Valproic Acid or its salts for the Agreement Indications (i.e., dosage forms other than soft gelatin capsules and enrobed tablets), then Banner shall notify JDS of its decision in writing and shall provide information as reasonably requested by JDS with respect to such development projects from time to time. ***

			(iii) Minimum Royalty Payment Abatement. If for reasons directly attributable to Banner’s actions or failure to act, or to Force Majeure, JDS cannot fulfill JDS’s customer orders for Product(s) and, as a consequence, JDS’s Net Sales Revenue is reduced, and not merely delayed, then JDS may reduce the Minimum Royalty Payment due to Banner for the applicable year by an amount proportionate to the amount that JDS’s Net Sales Revenue was reduced in such year because of Banner’s actions or failure to act, or because of Force Majeure.

(c) Termination of Exclusivity.

Banner shall be entitled to increase the labor and overhead component of the price of the Product(s) annually at a percentage rate equal to the change in the United States Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Producer Price Index for Pharmaceutical Preparations from the previous year, provided however, that in the event Banner determines that an extraordinary labor condition exists that has caused or will cause Banner’s labor and overhead costs to increase at a rate exceeding the annual adjustment, Banner shall provide JDS with reasonably detailed documentation of the actual or projected increased labor and overhead costs and the parties shall negotiate in good faith appropriate price increases to compensate Banner for the extraordinary labor condition on a going forward basis. In addition, no more than once per calendar quarter, Banner shall decrease or increase the price of Products to reflect decreased or increased raw materials costs for new Purchase Orders if the aggregate decrease or increase in raw materials costs is at least five percent (5%) of the raw materials cost at the Commencement Date or at the date the last price decrease or increase due to raw materials costs was implemented, whichever is later. The benefits of decreases in raw material prices shall be shared by the parties equally so that price decreases implemented by Banner shall not exceed an amount greater that *** of the subject aggregate raw material price decrease. Banner shall provide JDS with sixty (60) days written notice of any price increase or decrease under this Section 4.2. If requested, Banner shall provide JDS with reasonable written evidence of raw material cost increases and decreases, and with the calculation of any extraordinary increase in labor and overhead costs.

4.4		Purchase Forecasts.
		(a) JDS shall submit to Banner a forecast of the quantity of Product(s) that JDS anticipates ordering from Banner for the first twelve (12) months of the Term (the “Purchase Forecast”). JDS’s initial Purchase Forecast shall be due at a date agreed to by the parties which date shall be a reasonable period in advance of the anticipated date of the Regulatory Approval. JDS shall update this Purchase Forecast on or before the tenth (10th) day of every calendar month, thereby creating a 12-month rolling forecast. The first four (4) months of such forecast shall be a binding purchase commitment and the remaining eight (8) months shall be non-binding. Banner shall use commercially reasonable efforts, but is not obligated, to supply any monthly forecast that exceeds one hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the quantity previously forecast for that month.
		(b) At least six (6) months prior to the anticipated date of Regulatory Approval of a Product, Banner and JDS shall cooperate to determine the details of the first Purchase Forecast, including without limitation, the launch quantities of such Product, the Product mix (e.g., dosage strengths) and the desirable mix of Product quantities as physicians samples and as retail size containers. As promptly as practicable following the delivery to Banner of the first Purchase Forecast JDS shall provide Banner with binding firm orders (each a “Purchase Order”) for the first four (4) months of the Purchase Forecast. The Purchase Orders shall meet the requirements for Purchase Orders set forth in Section 4.5.
4.5		Purchase Orders.

Within five (5) business days after receipt of a Purchase Order, Banner shall notify JDS of its acceptance of such Purchase Order as a binding order or shall indicate what portion of the amounts covered by the Purchase Order Banner is willing to accept as a binding order. Such confirmation shall also confirm the proposed shipment date or specify a reasonable alternate shipment date. Both parties shall make reasonable good faith efforts to adjust order requirements to reflect market conditions, except that change requests may not be made within *** from the scheduled ship date of the subject Product(s) without Banner’s written approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
		(b) Banner’s acceptance of any Purchase Order is limited to the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement. All terms and conditions proposed by JDS in any Purchase Order or otherwise which are different from or in addition to this Agreement are expressly rejected. No purported oral or verbal agreement or other understanding which attempts in any way to modify the conditions stated herein will be binding, unless both parties agree to the modification, in advance and in writing.
		(c) If Banner (i) is unable to fulfill JDS Purchase Orders for Product or (ii) becomes aware of any circumstances (including Force Majeure) that will cause Banner to become unable to fulfill JDS Purchase Orders, in each case, for any continuous sixty (60) day period, Banner shall give JDS prompt written notice, describing such circumstances together with a proposed course of action to remedy such failure, which may include supplying Product from a second source (including without limitation a Banner Affiliate) qualified to provide Product under the Regulatory Approval. In the event Banner cannot fulfill JDS Purchase Orders from a qualified second source, JDS may, in its discretion, cancel each affected Purchase Order and/or meet the shortfall from any alternate source or sources selected by JDS in its sole discretion. Any procurement by JDS from such alternative sources shall be limited to the extent of the material shortfall by Banner and such procurement shall cease as soon as Banner is able to resume normal supplies, subject to depletion of any inventory on hand that was purchased or is to be delivered pursuant to binding contractual commitments to purchase from the alternate source or sources. In meeting its requirements under this Section 4.5(c), JDS shall not enter into any long term supply commitments with any third party source. The Net Sales Revenue from the product that JDS purchases from a source other than Banner under the terms of this Agreement shall be included in Net Sales Revenue.
		(d) If Banner orders a specific raw material ingredient for a Product(s) and the raw material is delayed or fails to meet Banner’s acceptance criteria, through no act or omission by Banner, then for all purposes of this Agreement, Banner’s shipment timetable shall be extended by the period of such delay, or in the case of unacceptable material to allow Banner adequate time to obtain an acceptable

		replacement material, but if the delay exceeds sixty (60) days then the provisions of Section 4.5(c) shall apply.

After Banner completes stability studies in accordance with Applicable Law which Banner undertakes to complete within a reasonable period of time after the Commencement Date, Product(s) shall have a minimum shelf life of at least *** at the time of delivery to JDS (provided JDS takes delivery in accordance with requested date of delivery on the applicable Purchase Order).

6.2 Certificate of Analysis. Concurrent with shipment, Banner shall deliver to JDS a certificate of analysis, in Banner’s customary form, for each lot of Product(s) sold to JDS, confirming that the Product(s) meets the Specifications.

6.3 Product(s) Acceptance.

(a) Within thirty (30) days of receipt of Product(s) by JDS, JDS or its designee shall conduct a visual inspection of Product(s). Should the visual inspection indicate a deviation from the Specifications, JDS shall promptly notify Banner in writing by facsimile. If after conducting its own investigation of the samples within fourteen (14) calendar days, Banner agrees that such samples do not conform to the Specifications, and unless Banner reasonably determines that the Nonconformity is directly attributable to JDS’s or its agents’ shipping, handling, distribution or storage of the nonconforming Products, Banner shall promptly provide JDS, free of any additional charge, with new deliveries of the same quantity of the Product(s) as the delivered shipment, or identifiable subset thereof, from which the sample was taken, or, in Banner’s discretion and at its cost, and if appropriate under Applicable Law, Banner may promptly reprocess the nonconforming Product(s) to meet the Specifications. In either event (unless Banner reasonably determines that the Nonconformity is directly attributable to JDS or its agents’ shipping, handling, distribution or storage of the nonconforming Products), JDS shall return, at Banner’s expense, the particular lot, portion, or shipment of the non-conforming Product(s) if requested to do so by Banner; provided that if Banner elects to destroy such nonconforming Product(s), Banner shall arrange for such destruction at its expense. If Banner reasonably determines that the Nonconformity is directly attributable to JDS’s or its agent’s shipping, handling, distribution or storage of the nonconforming Products, and JDS disagrees, the matter shall be submitted to an independent testing laboratory pursuant to Section 6.3(c). Except as to Latent Defects, if JDS fails to notify Banner of a non-conforming Product(s) by the thirty-fifth (35th) day following JDS’s receipt of the Product(s), then JDS shall be deemed to have accepted such Product(s).

		(b) Promptly after either Banner or JDS become aware of a Latent Defect, it shall notify the other of the batch involved, and at JDS’s election, the batch shall be quarantined as of the date of such notice. If the parties agree that the Product(s) have one or more Latent Defects, then if Banner is responsible for the Latent Defect Banner shall refund all monies paid for that shipment of Product to JDS, and shall reimburse JDS for its reasonable and customary actual out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in accepting returns from its customers and shall be responsible for all actual out of pocket costs reasonably incurred by JDS in recalling Product(s) that have Latent Defects, including costs of destroying such Products as necessary. If it is determined that JDS is responsible for the Latent Defect, then JDS shall pay Banner the purchase price for such Product in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall be responsible for any and all costs of recalling the Product(s), including costs of destroying such Products as necessary and the cost of accepting returns. Banner shall replace each nonconforming shipment of Product, or the nonconforming portion thereof, with conforming Product as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of notice of rejection thereof. If the parties do not agree on whether Product(s) have Latent Defects, testing shall be performed in accordance with Section 6.3(c).
		(c) If Banner and JDS do not agree on whether the Product(s) conforms to the Specifications, the matter will be submitted to an independent testing laboratory acceptable to both parties for its review and determination. The parties will agree on an inter-laboratory methods transfer process to be implemented at the laboratory to ensure acceptable data from a scientific and regulatory (cGMP) basis. The determination of such independent laboratory will be binding on both parties. The cost of the independent laboratory shall be borne by the party whose testing results were in error. If the Product(s) is determined not to conform to the Specifications, then Banner and JDS shall have the obligations with respect to the non-conforming Product(s) set forth in Section 6.3(a) or 6.3(b) as applicable. If the Product(s) is determined to conform to the Specifications, then JDS shall accept and pay for the Product(s) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
		(d) Subject to the indemnification obligations of Section 11.1, Banner’s obligations including to reprocess or replace Product(s) in this Section 6.3 shall constitute JDS’s sole remedy for non-conforming Product(s) and is not in addition to any other remedy.

Unless required to do so by law or regulation, neither party shall issue any press release or other public communication related to the relationship between the parties or the existence of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. The party desiring to issue the communication shall provide the other party with an advance copy of the proposed text of the public

communication for review and shall adopt any reasonable changes requested by the reviewing party prior to issuing such public communication.

12.4		Intellectual Property Enforcement and Defense.
(a)		Intellectual Property Enforcement. Unless otherwise specifically agreed by the parties in writing:
		(i) If either Banner or JDS suspects third party infringement of any of the Intellectual Property covering or relating to Product(s), that party shall promptly advise the other as to the facts and circumstances surrounding the suspected infringement. If Banner determines that an infringement action is commercially reasonable (taking into account the likelihood of success and relative cost/benefits), Banner may institute an infringement action against said third party. However, should Banner decide not to bring an infringement action, JDS may request Banner to undertake such infringement action using counsel of Banner’s choice (after conferring with JDS) at JDS’s expense. Banner and JDS shall confer regarding strategy for any patent infringement action brought under this Section 12.4(a) but Banner shall be solely responsible for the management and control of such patent infringement action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 12.4(a)(i) shall require JDS to participate in or contribute to the cost of Banner’s Intellectual Property enforcement efforts unless the third party’s infringement directly and materially adversely impacts, or is reasonably likely to directly and materially adversely impact, sales of the Product(s) and, in all other situations Banner is free to enforce Banner Intellectual Property on its own behalf, at its own cost, and without contribution or indemnification thereof by JDS. In this latter case, Banner shall retain for itself all awards paid by third parties (whether by settlement or otherwise) as a result of Banner’s enforcement efforts.
		(ii) Subject to Section 12.4(a)(i), the costs and expenses of any enforcement action by Banner (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other third parties) shall be paid by Banner and one-half (1/2) of any such costs and expenses incurred by Banner shall be invoiced to JDS monthly and paid net thirty (30) days of issuance.
		(iii) Each party shall execute all necessary and proper documents and take such actions as shall be reasonably requested by the other to allow it to institute and prosecute any such enforcement actions, including being named as a co-plaintiff in the action if warranted, in accordance with the terms of this Section.
		(iv) Provided that JDS has actually participated in the cost of enforcement efforts pursuant to Section 12.4(a)(i) and (ii) and to the extent any award paid by third parties as a result of such an enforcement

		action (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) relates to lost revenue associated with the Product(s), such award shall be treated as Net Sales Revenue hereunder (after deduction by Banner and JDS, as the case may be, of all costs and expenses, including, without limitation internal personnel costs, relating to such action). All other awards, or portions of awards not related to lost revenue associated with the Products, shall be shared by the parties equally.
(b)		Declaratory Relief.
		(i) If a third party commences an action for declaratory relief or similar action against Banner attacking the applicability, validity or enforceability of any Intellectual Property relating to Product(s), Banner shall advise JDS as to the facts and circumstances surrounding the action. Banner shall defend said action and/or institute an infringement counterclaim against the third party if Banner determines it is legally advisable and commercially reasonable to do so (taking into account the likelihood of success and relative cost/benefits). However, should Banner decide not to defend said action and/or institute an infringement counterclaim against the third party, JDS may request Banner to undertake such action using counsel of Banner’s choice (after conferring with JDS) at JDS’s expense. Banner and JDS shall confer regarding strategy for any action or defense brought under this Section 12.4(b) but Banner shall be solely responsible for the management and control of such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 12.4(b)(i) shall require JDS to participate or contribute to the cost of Banner’s Intellectual Property enforcement or defense efforts unless the third party’s legal action (if successful) or infringement directly and materially adversely impacts, or is reasonably likely to directly and materially adversely impact, sales of the Product(s) and, in all other declaratory judgment actions relating to the Banner Intellectual Property, Banner is free to defend suit (including asserting Banner Intellectual Property infringement as a counterclaim) on its own behalf, at its own cost, and without contribution or indemnification thereof by JDS. In this latter case, Banner shall retain for itself all awards paid by third parties (whether by settlement or otherwise) as a result of Banner’s enforcement efforts.
		(ii) Subject to Section 12.4(b)(i), the costs and expenses of any such defense and/or counterclaim by Banner (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other third parties) shall be treated in the same manner as patent enforcement expenses pursuant to Section 12.4(a)(ii).
		(iii) Each party shall execute all necessary and proper documents and take such actions as shall be reasonably requested by the other to defend said action and/or institute and prosecute such counterclaim, including being named as a co-plaintiff or co-defendant in the action and/or counterclaim if warranted, in accordance with the terms of this Section.

		(iv) Provided that JDS has actually participated in the cost of enforcement efforts pursuant to Section 12.4(b)(i) and (ii), any award paid by third parties as a result of a counterclaim brought under this Section 12.4(b) (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) shall be treated in the same manner as patent enforcement award pursuant to Section 12.4(a)(iv). Any award due to third parties as a result of the action shall be treated in the same manner as an award pursuant to Section 12.4(c)(iv).
(c)		Intellectual Property Defense.
		(i) In the event a third party commences an action against Banner for Intellectual Property infringement, or threatens to do so, for activities pertaining to the making, using, or selling of Product(s) and not primarily pertaining to the Generally Applicable Technology, Banner shall advise JDS as to the facts and circumstances surrounding the action. Banner shall defend said action if Banner determines it is legally advisable and commercially reasonable to do so (taking into account the likelihood of success and relative cost/benefits). However, should Banner decide not to defend said action, JDS may request Banner to undertake such defense using counsel of Banner’s choice (after conferring with JDS) at JDS’s expense, and in this case, JDS shall pay all damages awarded as a result of the action directly relating to the Products as well as expenses reasonably incurred by Banner in maintaining such action, for example, reasonable internal personnel costs; provided, however, that JDS shall have a right to reimburse itself and deduct such damages and expenses from the Royalty Payments otherwise due to Banner under Section 4.1(e). In the event a third party commences an action against Banner for Intellectual Property infringement, or threatens to do so, for activities pertaining to the making, using, or selling of Product(s) but primarily pertaining to the Generally Applicable Technology, Banner shall advise JDS as to the facts and circumstances surrounding the action, and the parties shall discuss and negotiate in good faith the allocation between them of costs and expenses of any such defense and/or counterclaim. Banner and JDS shall confer regarding strategy for any defense maintained under this Section 12.4(c) but Banner shall be solely responsible for the management and control of such action.
		(ii) Except as set forth in Section 12.4(c)(i), the costs and expenses of any such defense and/or counterclaim by Banner (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other third parties) shall be shared equally by the parties and paid in the same manner as Intellectual Property enforcement expenses pursuant to Section 12.4(a)(ii).

		(iii) Each party shall execute all necessary and proper documents and take such actions as shall be reasonably requested by the other to defend said action, including being named as a co-plaintiff in the action and/or any counterclaim if warranted, in accordance with the terms of this Section.
		(iv) Except as provided in Section 12.4(c)(i), any damages award paid to third parties as a result of an infringement action brought by any third party (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) shall be shared equally by the parties. The parties shall agree with respect to any settlement requiring payments by way of royalties or otherwise that are unrelated to actual damages for past infringement.

		(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.4 to the contrary unless where JDS has requested Banner to undertake actions for infringement, enforcement or defense pursuant to Section 12.4(a)(i), 12.4(b)(i) or 12.4(c)(i), if JDS determines that the risks and/or costs presented by the actions for infringement, enforcement or defense hereunder outweigh the benefits of such actions, then JDS shall have the right, upon written notice to Banner if given prior to the date of the close of discovery, to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Product(s) which are the subject of such actions and JDS shall have no further obligation to participate in or contribute to the cost of going forward with such actions, provided, however that JDS shall participate in any damage award (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) as provided under Section 12.4(c)(iv) subject to the following limit (i) fifty percent (50%) of the greater of the amount of damages sought by or accrued to the third party at the time of JDS triggering this provision; (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the lowest good faith settlement offer by the opposing litigant that is acceptable to JDS but that is unacceptable to Banner; or (iii) fifty percent (50%) of the actual award paid by Banner, whichever is less. Promptly following such notice, the parties shall amend this Agreement to remove the provisions affected by such termination and, thereafter, Banner shall have unrestricted rights to commercialize the effected Product(s), including, but not limited to, the right to offer to any third party exclusive rights to such Product(s) in any dosage forms, in any dosage strengths and for any indications, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary.
		(e) If any actions for infringement, enforcement or defense in which JDS participates pursuant to the terms of this Section 12.4 relates to the Products and other Banner products, then the parties will discuss in good faith to determine an appropriate allocation of costs and expenses of any such action and any damages payable by JDS.
		(f) Banner shall provide JDS with information reasonably requested by JDS with respect to any action contemplated by this Section 12, and Banner shall promptly provide JDS with written notice and a reasonably detailed description of any settlement offers by the third party.

(g) Effect of Opt Out Right. JDS’s obligations under this Section 12.4 are subject to JDS’s Opt Out Right such that, if JDS has elected to exercise its Opt Out Right, then JDS shall have no obligations or rights under this Section 12.4 to the extent that any Intellectual Property infringement, enforcement or defense action is related solely to the Valproic Acid Versatrol™ Product, provided however, that to the extent that any action relates to both the Valproic Acid Versatrol™ Product and the Valproic Acid EnteriCare™ Product, then JDS shall be obligated under this Section 12.4 in the same proportion that the harm alleged in such action relates to the Valproic Acid EnteriCare™ Product.

Article 13. Miscellaneous.

13.1 Inspection. Either party and their respective representatives shall have the right, at reasonable intervals, on at least ten (10) business days prior notice and during normal business hours, to inspect the other party’s (or such party’s subcontractor provided that Banner shall use reasonable commercial efforts to include substantially similar inspection rights with respect to its third party packager) applicable areas of their performance, manufacturing, laboratory, packaging and warehousing facilities used in the manufacture, packaging, storage, testing, shipping and receiving of the Product(s) or its components. The frequency and extent of routine inspections shall be no more than once per calendar year, unless upon just cause, or as otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties.

13.3		Dispute Resolution.
		(a) Good Faith Negotiation. The parties agree that, before resorting to any formal dispute resolution process concerning any dispute arising from or in any way relating to this Agreement (a “Dispute”), they will first attempt to engage in good faith negotiations in an effort to find a solution that serves their respective and mutual interests, including their continuing business/professional relationship. If after thirty (30) days following receipt of notice by one party from the other of a Dispute, the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute, then within ten (10) business days following the end of such thirty (30) day period, the parties shall each appoint a principal to personally review the facts of the Dispute and seek to resolve the matter by means of direct discussion between the appointed principals. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the parties shall have five (5) business days from the date the principals are appointed to begin the direct discussions between them and ten (10) business days to resolve the Dispute by such direct discussions.
		(b) Mediation. If the principals are not appointed, or the negotiations do not take place within the time provided in Section 13.3(a), or if the negotiations do not conclude with a mutually agreed upon solution within that time frame (or its agreed upon extension), the parties agree to mediate any Dispute. If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator within ten (10) days following the conclusion of their good faith negotiations or expiration of the time within which to negotiate as provided in Section 13.3(a), then each shall select one name from a list of mediators maintained by any bona fide dispute resolution provider or other private mediator; the two selected shall then choose a third person who will serve as mediator. The parties agree to appoint principals to participate in the mediation process, including being reasonably present throughout the mediation session(s). The parties shall have thirty (30) days within which to commence the first mediation session following the conclusion of their good faith negotiations or expiration of the time within which to negotiate as provided in Section 13.3(a). The parties further confirm their motivating purpose in selecting mediation is to find a solution that serves their respective and mutual interests, including their continuing business/professional relationship.
		(c) Costs. The parties agree to share the mediator’s fees equally.

		(d) Notice of Dispute. The notice of a Dispute shall be in writing. It shall provide sufficient details of the Dispute to apprise the other party of the basis of the disputant’s claims. The notice should include the invitation to begin negotiation, and where unsuccessful, mediation.
		(e) Litigation. Should the negotiations and mediations contemplated by this Section 13.3 fail to achieve a mutually acceptable resolution of the Dispute, either party may file a lawsuit related to the Dispute. Except for disputes predominantly related to intellectual property which may be brought in any jurisdiction at the sole discretion of the party bringing the lawsuit, the party filing the lawsuit shall file it in the state or federal judicial district where the other party’s principal U.S. executive offices are located.
		(f) Injunctive Relief. Each party has the right before or during the negotiation and/or mediation contemplated by this Section 13.3 to seek and obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction equitable relief in the form of preliminary injunction to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo or preserve the subject matter of the Dispute.
