2. Development
2.1 Development Program. ▇▇▇▇ shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to develop for ▇▇▇▇▇▇ a [****] for ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ system in accordance with the Development Plan and the Development Milestones.

Furthermore, the Development Plan and Development Milestones may be modified in accordance with the process described below in Sections 2.2.1 through 2.2.4. The Specifications shall be part of the Development Plan, or, to the extent not so specified in the Development Plan, independently established in writing in a document executed by both Parties, and any changes thereto (and/or any initial determination thereof) shall be done in accordance with this Section 2.2. The Development Plan (including the Specifications) and Development Milestones may not be modified other than in accordance with this Section 2.2.
2.2.1 If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ wishes to request changes to the Development Plan (including the Specifications) and/or the Development Milestones, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall notify ▇▇▇▇ and propose a draft of the modified Development Plan and/or modified Development Milestones for review by ▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ shall provide reasonable consultation and assistance to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ efforts to modify the Development Plan and the Development Milestones. ▇▇▇▇ shall provide ▇▇▇▇▇▇ with any comments on the proposed modifications and a reasonable estimate of changes to the budget, if any, necessitated by the modifications within [****] days of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ request.

Milestones (whether on their own or as a result of modifications to the Development Plan) proposed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ shall provide ▇▇▇▇▇▇ with a reasonably detailed explanation for ▇▇▇▇’▇ concerns and a proposal with reasonably estimated timelines for such Development Milestones. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall consider ▇▇▇▇’▇ concerns and proposed budget and timelines in good faith in finalizing the modified Development Plan and/or Development Milestones. No sooner than [****] days after first providing to ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ proposed modifications to the Development Plan and/or the Development Milestones in accordance with the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may formally propose a final modified Development Plan and/or modified Development Milestones by providing a copy thereof to ▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ shall thereupon have [****] days to approve such modified Development Plan and/or Development Milestones, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
2.2.2 Upon any such approval by ▇▇▇▇ under Section 2.2.1, such modified Development Plan (including modified Specifications if applicable) and/or modified Development Milestones shall become the Development Plan and/or Development Milestones (as applicable) hereunder and shall replace the previous Development Plan and/or previous Development Milestones (as applicable), except to the extent the modified version expressly incorporates such previous Development Plan and/or Development Milestones or otherwise expressly provides for existing portions thereof to remain in effect.
2.2.3 If ▇▇▇▇ does not approve the proposed modifications under Section 2.2.1 within the [****] day period specified above, the Parties shall discuss in good faith for a period of at least [****] days to reach mutual agreement on the proposed modifications. Otherwise, absent such agreement within such [****] day period, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right at any time after such [****] day period to submit its proposed modifications (including any determination of Specifications, if applicable) to binding dispute resolution under Section 2.6 hereunder, and (to the extent not otherwise resolved prior to completion of any arbitration thereunder) the arbitrator under any arbitration pursuant to Section 2.6 shall be empowered hereunder to determine whether or not ▇▇▇▇’▇ failure to approve is reasonable (and therefore if ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ proposed modifications shall become effective hereunder) and/or determine an alternative form of the modifications that is fair to ▇▇▇▇ in light of ▇▇▇▇’▇ objections to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ formally proposed modifications but which also most nearly achieves ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ goals and objectives of such proposed modifications.
2.2.4 If ▇▇▇▇ wishes to request changes to the Development Plan (including the Specifications) and/or Development Milestones, it shall notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇ thereof and inform ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of the proposed modifications. ▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall thereupon discuss such modifications. No sooner than [****] days after first providing to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇’▇ proposed modifications to the Development Plan and/or the Development Milestones in accordance with the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇ may formally propose a final modified Development Plan and/or modified Development Milestones by providing a copy thereof to ▇▇▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall thereupon have [****] days to approve such modified Development Plan and/or Development Milestones, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld so long as such proposed modifications are consistent with the reasonable development of a commercially viable End Product and do not significantly increase the budget. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ approves such modification, such modified Development Plan (including modified Specifications if applicable) and/or modified Development Milestones shall become the Development Plan and/or Development Milestones (as applicable) hereunder and shall replace the previous Development Plan and/or previous Development Milestones (as applicable), except to the extent the modified version expressly incorporates such previous Development Plan and/or Development Milestones or otherwise expressly provides for existing portions thereof to remain in effect. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ does not approve the proposed modifications within the [****] day period specific above, Section 2.2.3 shall apply with respect thereto, with the Parties in such section reversed.

2.5 Liquidated Damages.
2.5.1 The Parties acknowledge that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is relying on ▇▇▇▇ performing its obligations under Section 2.1 above in order to provide ▇▇▇▇▇▇ with important technical solutions that are critical to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ business and that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ would suffer significant harm, and lose the benefit of a critical development and supply arrangement, if ▇▇▇▇ fails to meet its obligations under Section 2.1. The Parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages set forth in this Section 2.5 are reasonable under the circumstances existing on the Effective Date and reasonably approximate the amount of damage that would be sustained by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as a result of ▇▇▇▇’▇ failure to meet its obligations under Section 2.1, and that it is impracticable or extremely difficult to determine the actual damages that would be sustained by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as a result thereof. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the amount of the liquidated damages set forth in this Section 2.5 is not a penalty. If a court of competent jurisdiction nonetheless determines, by a final, non-appealable judgment, that the amount of the liquidated damages exceeds the maximum amount permitted by law, then the amount of the liquidated damages shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted by law in the circumstances, as determined by such court of competent jurisdiction.
2.5.2 In the event ▇▇▇▇ breaches Section 2.1 of this Agreement and (a) ▇▇▇▇ fails to cure such breach within sixty (60) days after notice thereof from ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to ▇▇▇▇ describing such breach in reasonable detail as well as those steps known to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, if any, that ▇▇▇▇ could take to cure such breach (or, within only thirty (30) days after such a notice with respect to a second (same or similar) breach of Section 2.1 described in such a ▇▇▇▇▇▇ notice in the event a first breach of the same or similar nature subject to a ▇▇▇▇▇▇ notice hereunder was duly cured by ▇▇▇▇), or (b) such breach is the third (same or similar) breach of Section 2.1 described in a ▇▇▇▇▇▇ notice of breach following ▇▇▇▇’▇ timely cure of two prior breaches of the same or similar nature described in previous ▇▇▇▇▇▇ notices hereunder, then, in the case of either (a) or (b), ▇▇▇▇ shall pay ▇▇▇▇▇▇ without offset, recoupment or defense, which are hereby waived by ▇▇▇▇, liquidated damages in the amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) plus the amount of Development Fees actually paid by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to Section 4.1 below, due and payable within five (5) days after the end of the applicable cure period described above (in the case of (a)), or, with respect to the third breach under (b), within five (5) days of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ notice referencing such third breach. In the event that ▇▇▇▇ disputes that ▇▇▇▇ has breached Section 2.1 of the Agreement or disputes that it has failed to cure such breach within the applicable cure period (or ▇▇▇▇ otherwise disputes the payment of liquidated damages that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ claims are due hereunder), either Party may by written notice submit the matter to resolution pursuant to Section 2.6 below. For the avoidance of doubt, if ▇▇▇▇ breaches Section 2.1 but subsequently cures such breach and/or achieves the next Development Milestone on a timely basis, in either case prior to a notice of breach from ▇▇▇▇▇▇ under this Section 2.5.2, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall thereupon have no right to provide notice of such breach to ▇▇▇▇ under this Section 2.5.2.
2.5.3 [****].
2.6 Certain Development Disputes. If either Party has any dispute regarding ▇▇▇▇’▇ performance under Section 2.1 above, or any failures with respect thereto (including the payment of liquidated damages under Section 2.5 and any dispute regarding if and when a given Development Milestone is achieved or otherwise with respect to payments owed under Section 4.1 (without limiting Section 4.2)) or otherwise pursuant to Sections 2.4, 3.3 and 3.8, then prior to taking any other action with respect to such dispute (e.g., litigation), except as may be required to preserve a Party’s rights with respect to the dispute process described in the Amended Plan, the complaining Party shall refer the dispute to the Chief Executive Officers of the Parties for good-faith discussions over a period of not less than [****] days. Each Party will make such executives reasonably available for such discussions. If the

The Parties shall direct the arbitrator to decide the applicable dispute within [****] days after the arbitrator’s selection (or appointment, as the case may be). The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, binding, and unappealable and shall be deemed the decision of the Parties hereunder and may be entered by any Party in a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 2.6 shall limit or restrict ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ ability to enforce or defend its rights under this Agreement pursuant to the dispute process described in the Amended Plan.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties agree that applicable patent law shall govern who is an inventor of any New Invention. In the event of any disagreement about ownership, inventorship or similar matters arising out of this Agreement or otherwise related to New Inventions, the Parties hereby agree first to have their Chief Executive Officers or their designees meet and confer to attempt to resolve such disagreement. If such disagreement is not resolved within [****] days of either party’s referral of such disagreement for resolution by such Chief Executive Officers or their designees, the Parties agree to submit such disagreement to final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Patent Arbitration Rules before one single neutral arbitrator. Such arbitration shall occur in New York City, New York. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, binding, and unappealable and shall be deemed the decision of the Parties hereunder and may be entered by any Party in a court of competent jurisdiction.

only to regulatory authorities and employees, agents, contractors, Subsidiaries and actual and potential licensees and sublicensees (solely to the extent, in the case of any such licensee or sublicensee, such Confidential Information to be disclosed is licenseable or sublicenseable to such licensee or sublicensee), in all such cases who have a reason to know such information for purposes of Recipient’s performance of its obligations or exercise of its rights under this Agreement and/or the License Agreement and (except with respect to regulatory authorities) who are bound in writing by restrictions regarding disclosure and use at least as protective of Discloser as the terms and conditions in this Agreement. Recipient shall not use any Confidential Information of Discloser for the benefit of itself or any third party or for any purpose other than to perform its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement and/or the License Agreement. Recipient shall take at least the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information and materials of similar nature and importance (but in no event less than reasonable care) to protect the confidentiality and avoid the unauthorized use, disclosure, publication, or dissemination of the Confidential Information of Discloser.
7.3 Scope. The foregoing restrictions on disclosure and use shall not apply with respect to any Confidential Information of Discloser to the extent such Confidential Information: (a) was or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act or omission of the Recipient or its Affiliates and their respective employees, agents and representatives; (b) was rightfully known by Recipient (except, for purposes of ▇▇▇▇ as Recipient, with respect to Joint Patents and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Licensed IP) before receipt from Discloser; (c) becomes rightfully known to Recipient (except, for purposes of ▇▇▇▇ as Recipient, with respect to Joint Patents and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Licensed IP) from a source other than Discloser without breach of a duty of confidentiality to Discloser or its Affiliates; or (d) is independently developed by Recipient (except, for purposes of ▇▇▇▇ as Recipient, with respect to Joint Patents and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Licensed IP) without the use of or access to the Confidential Information of Discloser. In addition, Recipient may use or disclose Confidential Information of Discloser to the extent (i) approved by Discloser in writing or (ii) Recipient is legally compelled to disclose such Confidential Information, provided, however, that prior to any such compelled disclosure, Recipient shall give Discloser reasonable advance notice of any such disclosure and shall cooperate with Discloser in protecting against any such disclosure and/or obtaining a protective order narrowing the scope of such disclosure and/or use of such Confidential Information.
8. Indemnification; Limitation of Liability
8.1 By ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Subject to Section 8.3, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will defend, indemnify and hold harmless ▇▇▇▇ and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, contractors and agents (collectively, the “▇▇▇▇ Indemnitees”) from and against any losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement, expenses and costs of defense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and witness fees) (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from any demand, claim, action or proceeding brought or initiated by a third party (each a “Third Party Claim”) against any ▇▇▇▇ Indemnitee(s) to the extent arising from: [****]. The foregoing indemnification shall not apply to the extent that such Losses arise from or relate to any ▇▇▇▇ Indemnitee’s gross negligence, intentionally harmful misconduct or breach of this Agreement or the Commercial Supply Agreement or to the extent ▇▇▇▇ has an indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 8.2 for such Losses.
8.2 By ▇▇▇▇. Subject to Section 8.3, ▇▇▇▇ will defend, indemnify and hold harmless ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, licensees, designees, customers, employees, contractors and agents (collectively, the “▇▇▇▇▇▇ Indemnitees”) from and against any Losses resulting from any Third Party Claim against any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Indemnitee(s) to the extent arising from: [****]. The foregoing indemnification shall not apply to the extent that such Losses arise from or relate to any ▇▇▇▇▇▇

18
Indemnitee’s gross negligence, intentionally harmful misconduct or breach of this Agreement or the Commercial Supply Agreement or to the extent ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has an indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 8.1 for such Losses.
8.3 Indemnity Procedures. The Party seeking indemnification hereunder shall give the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”): (a) prompt written notice of any Third Party Claim for which indemnification is sought; (b) sole control over the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim; and (c) reasonable assistance, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, in the defense and settlement of the Third Party Claim. In no event, however, may the Indemnifying Party settle any Third Party Claim in a manner that diminishes the rights or interests of the other Party under this Agreement and/or obligates the other Party to make any payment or take any action without the written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense, or if the Parties cannot agree as to the application of Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 in any given instance, then the Party seeking indemnification may conduct the defense and reserves the right to seek indemnification under this Agreement upon resolution with the third party of the underlying matter.
8.4 Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR BREACH OF ARTICLE 7 OR THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 8.1 OR 8.2, AND EXCLUDING SECTION 2.5 AND WITHOUT LIMITING ANY LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PAYABLE THEREUNDER, IN NO EVENT SHALL A PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, HOWEVER CAUSED, UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY.
9. Term and Termination
9.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall remain in force and effect until [****].
9.2 Termination by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. In addition to any available remedies at law or in equity, this Agreement may be terminated by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ by giving notice of termination to ▇▇▇▇: (a) in the event that ▇▇▇▇ files or institutes any bankruptcy, liquidation or receivership proceedings, or in the event that ▇▇▇▇ makes an assignment of a substantial portion of its assets for the benefit of its creditors; provided, however, that, in the case of any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding such right to terminate shall only become effective if ▇▇▇▇ consents to the involuntary bankruptcy or such proceeding is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof; (b) if ▇▇▇▇ breaches [****] and fails to cure such breach in accordance with this Agreement within sixty (60) days after receipt of the initial notification by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of such breach or such longer period of time as provided in this Agreement; and (c) [****]. Except as expressly provided in the foregoing or in Section 2.5.3, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have no right to terminate this Agreement.
9.3 Termination by ▇▇▇▇.

19
breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of notification by ▇▇▇▇ of such breach (provided; however, that if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ disputes [****], ▇▇▇▇ shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement unless and until it is finally determined, in accordance with Section 2.6 (or the other applicable dispute resolution provisions of this Agreement) that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is obligated to [****] and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ subsequently fails to cure such breach (e.g., [****]), within thirty (30) days of such final determination (it being understood that ▇▇▇▇ shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ so cures following such final determination in dispute resolution). Except as expressly provided in the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇ shall have no right to terminate this Agreement.
9.4 Effect of Termination. Expiration or termination of this Agreement (including under Section 2.5) for any reason shall not release either Party from any obligation or liability which, at the time of such expiration or termination, has already accrued to the other Party or which is attributable to a period prior to such expiration or termination. The following Sections and Articles shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason: Section 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, Article 5, Article 7, Article 8, Article 9, and Article 10.
10. Miscellaneous
10.1 Entire Agreement. Subject to Section 10.6 below, this Agreement (and its Exhibits), together with the Settlement Agreement, the other Settlement Documents, and the Amended Plan and Confirmation Order, contain the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede and merge all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements between the Parties, whether written or oral, with respect to such subject matter. This Agreement shall not be modified, amended or cancelled other than in a writing signed by authorized representatives of both Parties.
10.2 No Implied Waiver. Any waiver of any obligation under this Agreement or any other Settlement Document must be in writing. The failure of either Party to enforce at any time any provision of or right under this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision, and shall not affect the right of such Party to enforce such provision or right or any other provision. No waiver of any breach hereof shall be construed to be a waiver of any other breach.
10.3 Assignment. This Agreement and the rights of the Parties hereunder may not be assigned by either Party to this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, this Agreement (along with the rights granted hereunder) may be assigned by either Party without the other Party’s consent as part of a merger, consolidation or acquisition of the assigning Party;
sale of all or substantially all the assets of the assigning Party; or a similar reorganization of the assigning Party. Subject to the foregoing, the respective obligations of the Parties hereto shall bind, and the respective rights of the Parties shall inure to the benefit of, the Parties’ respective permitted assignees and successors.
10.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue.
10.4.1 Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with: (a) the Bankruptcy Code, and (b) in the case of applicable nonbankruptcy law, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of laws, or applicable federal law as to a particular subject where federal law governs, such as for example, the Patent Act governing patents or the Copyright Act governing copyrights.

10.4.2 Bankruptcy Court Jurisdiction. Except as provided in Section 10.4.3 and Section 10.4.4, any disputes arising under this Agreement, or related to the meaning, effect and interpretation of the Amended Plan, the Confirmation Order or this Agreement (which Agreement is a part of the Amended Plan and Confirmation Order), shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court.
10.4.3 Exceptions to Bankruptcy Court Jurisdiction. In the event: (a) the Bankruptcy Court lacks or declines to exercise jurisdiction over a dispute arising under this Agreement, for any reason; (b) the reference of jurisdiction to the Bankruptcy Court is withdrawn, for any reason; (c) the dispute or enforcement is related to any intellectual property rights of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇, including without limitation any alleged infringement or misappropriation or misuse thereof; or (d) the dispute or enforcement arises from or with respect to any provision of, or incorporated into, any of Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 4, 5, or 6.3 of the License Agreement or causes of action relating thereto or arising therefrom, or any of Sections 2.1, 2.2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 or 10.3 of this Agreement or causes of action relating thereto or arising therefrom, then the state or federal courts for or in New Castle County, Delaware shall have jurisdiction over any disputes arising under or related to this Agreement.
10.4.4 Alternative Dispute Resolution. Notwithstanding Sections 10.4.2 and 10.4.3 above and Section 10.4.5 below, in the event some provision of a particular Settlement Document expressly creates an alternative dispute resolution provision as to a particular type of dispute, such as Sections 2.6 or 5.2.4 of this Agreement (or provisions of this Agreement expressly invoking Section 2.6), then such disputes shall be resolved as so specified in the applicable Agreement.
10.4.5 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each Party hereby (a) consents and submits to the venue and co-exclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and the courts of New Castle County in the State of Delaware and the Federal courts of the United States sitting in such part of the District of Delaware (without prejudice to either the retained rights and jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court), (b) agrees that all claims may be heard and determined in such courts, (c) irrevocably waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any objection that it now or hereafter may have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding brought in any of the foregoing courts, and any objection on the ground that any such action or proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and (d) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner permitted by law. Each of the Parties hereby consents to service of process by any party in any suit, action or proceeding in accordance with such applicable law.
10.4.6 Resolving Conflicts. If there is any question as to whether the proper jurisdiction or venue for any dispute is in the Bankruptcy Court or in the Delaware Court, the Bankruptcy Court may decide that issue.
10.4.7 Miscellaneous. The prevailing Party in any final judgment of any such controversy, claim or dispute, or the non-dismissing Party in the event of a dismissal without prejudice, shall be entitled to receive from the other Party the reasonable attorneys’ fees (and all related costs and expenses) and all other costs and expenses paid or incurred by such prevailing Party in connection with such controversy, claim or dispute and in connection with enforcing any judgment or order with respect thereto.
10.5 Severability. If for any reason a provision of this Agreement, or portion thereof, is finally determined to be unenforceable under Applicable Laws, that provision, or portion thereof, shall
CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.
21
nonetheless be enforced, as to circumstances, persons, places and otherwise, to the maximum extent permissible by Applicable Laws so as to give effect to the intent of the Parties, and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
10.6 Effect of Plan/Confirmation Order. The Parties agree that this Section 10.6(a) is a settlement proposal that shall apply only to the extent approved by the Confirmation Order. The Parties each agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to support the full rights sought by the Parties hereunder, including without limitation by appropriate proffers or other proof in the plan confirmation process. To the maximum extent possible under applicable law (as affected by the Confirmation Order), this Agreement is not an “executory contract” for the purposes of 11 U.S.C. § 365. Rather, this Agreement constitutes a settlement allocation and partition of intellectual property and other rights disputed in the Litigation and in ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ related claims in the Chapter 11 Case but resolved by the Amended Plan and the Confirmation Order. To the extent that a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction rules otherwise than that, the executory parts of this Agreement (herein sometimes called a “Section 365(n) Contract”) shall be interpreted so that the greatest possible rights and licenses of the licensee Party thereto shall be held to be “executed,” thereby minimizing any “executory” parts of the Agreement. As to any Section 365(n) Contract, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the rights and licenses granted by the licensor Party to the licensee Party and its Affiliates hereunder are rights with respect to intellectual property (including without limitation “intellectual property” within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 101), and: (a) all reports, drawings, samples, prototypes and other books and records and embodiments of the intellectual property shall be deemed “embodiments” of the intellectual property protected by 11 U.S.C. § 365 hereunder; (b) any Settlement Document or obligations thereunder that the licensee Party designates as such an “agreement supplementary” to such Section 365(n) Contract in its discretion at any time before the Confirmation Hearing in a “Plan Supplement” to the Amended Plan, shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable law (as affected by the Confirmation Order) and so designated by the licensee, an “agreement supplementary” to such Section 365(n) Contract, but no other Settlement Document or obligations shall be an “agreement supplementary” to such Section 365(n) Contract; and (c) there are no “royalty payments” due from ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇ as a licensee under such Section 365(n) Contract or, since 11 U.S.C. § 365(n)(2) applies only to the Section 365(n) Contract, but not to any “agreement supplementary” to such contract, under any such supplementary agreement. In the event of any conflict between (i) the provisions of this Section 10.6(a), or (ii) the rights contemplated by 11 U.S.C. § 365(n), and the Amended Plan or the Confirmation Order, the Amended Plan and Confirmation Order shall govern and control. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇ each shall be deemed to have made a request for enforcement of all of its rights and licenses pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 365(n)(4), without further action by either licensee Party.
10.7 Headings. The headings and captions used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.
10.8 Interpretation. This Agreement has been negotiated by all Parties, and each Party has been advised by competent legal counsel. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with its terms and without any construction in favor of or against either Party.
10.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but which collectively shall constitute one and the same instrument.
10.10 Force Majeure. No Party shall be responsible for delays to the extent resulting from causes beyond such Party’s control, including without limitation fire, explosion, flood, war, strike, crisis, terrorist attack, earthquake, power failure, or riot, provided that the nonperforming Party notifies the other Party thereof and uses commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or remove such causes of nonperformance.

22
10.11 Relationship of the Parties. ▇▇▇▇’▇ relationship with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be that of an independent contractor and nothing in this Agreement should be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency or employer-employee relationship between the Parties. ▇▇▇▇ is not the agent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and is not authorized and shall not have any authority to make any representation, contract or commitment on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, or otherwise bind ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in any respect whatsoever. ▇▇▇▇ (and its employees and agents) shall not be entitled to any of the benefits ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may make available to its employees, such as group insurance, profit-sharing or retirement benefits. ▇▇▇▇ shall be solely responsible for all tax returns and payments required to be filed with or made to any federal, state or local tax authority with respect to ▇▇▇▇’▇ performance of services and receipt of amounts under this Agreement. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may regularly report amounts paid to ▇▇▇▇ with the Internal Revenue Service as required by law. Because ▇▇▇▇ is an independent contractor, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not withhold or make payments for social security, make unemployment insurance or disability insurance contributions, or obtain worker’s compensation insurance on ▇▇▇▇’▇ (or its employees’ or agents’) behalf. ▇▇▇▇ shall comply with, and agrees to accept exclusive liability for its own non-compliance with all Applicable Laws regarding its employees, consultants, taxes, benefits and payroll, including obligations such as payment of all taxes, social security, disability and other contributions based on amounts paid to ▇▇▇▇, its agents or employees under this Agreement. ▇▇▇▇ hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend ▇▇▇▇▇▇ against any and all such liability, taxes or contributions, including penalties and interest.
10.12 Notices. Except as may be otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, waivers, consents and approvals made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be conclusively deemed to have been duly given (a) when hand delivered to the other Party; (b) when sent by facsimile, with receipt confirmation, to the number set forth below if sent between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. recipient’s local time on a business day, or on the next business day if sent by facsimile to the number set forth below if sent other than between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. recipient’s local time on a business day; or (c) the next business day after deposit with a national overnight delivery service, postage prepaid, addressed to the applicable parties as set forth below with next business day delivery guaranteed, provided that the sending Party receives a confirmation of delivery from the delivery service provider. Each person making a communication hereunder by facsimile shall attempt to promptly confirm by telephone to the person to whom such communication was addressed each communication made by it by facsimile pursuant hereto but the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity or delivery status of any such communication. A Party may change or supplement the addresses given below, or designate additional addresses, for purposes of this Section by giving the other Party written notice of the new address in the manner set forth above.
