12.3.4.

Third Party Infringement Claims. If a Third Party sues a Party alleging that the sued Party’s, or the sued Party’s Related Parties’, Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of a Licensed Product in the Eurofarma Territory infringes or will infringe said Third Party’s intellectual property, then upon the sued Party’s request and in connection with the sued Party’s defense of any such Third Party suit, the other Party will provide reasonable assistance to the sued Party for such defense at no charge to the sued Party except for reimbursement by the sued Party of reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in rendering such assistance.

This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 13.2, this Agreement shall continue in effect until the latest of (a) the earliest date on which there are no Valid Claims of any Summit Patent Rights Covering any Licensed Product in the Eurofarma Territory, (b) the earliest date on which there is no Regulatory Exclusivity for any Licensed Product in the Eurofarma Territory and (c) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of the first Licensed Product in the Eurofarma Territory (“Term”). Upon expiration of the Term, (x) all licenses granted to Eurofarma under Section 7.1 then in effect shall become fully paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable licenses and (y) the Parties shall discuss in good faith whether, and on what terms, to continue their relationship under any Commercial Supply Agreement then in effect.
13.2.
Termination Rights.
13.2.1.
Termination for Convenience. At any time after Eurofarma has paid to Summit all of the milestone payments set forth in Sections 8.2(i)-(iv), Eurofarma shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety on six (6) months’ prior written notice to Summit.
13.2.2.
Termination for Cause.
(a)
Termination for Insolvency. In the event that either Party makes an assignment for the benefits of creditors, appoints or suffers appointment of a receiver or trustee over all or substantially all of its property, files a petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency act or has any such petition filed against it which petition is not discharged within sixty (60) days of the filling thereof, then the other Party may terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon written notice to such Party.
(b)
Termination for Breach. Either Party may terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon written notice to the other Party, for any material breach by the other Party of any term of this Agreement that remains uncured for [**] days after the non-breaching Party gives written notice to the other Party of such breach and its intent to terminate this Agreement if such breach is not cured.

- 36 -

 


(c)
Termination for Lack of Efficacy. Eurofarma may terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon written notice to Summit, within thirty (30) days following receipt of analysis from Summit of the Global Pivotal Clinical Study which analysis fails to show achievement of the Primary Endpoint. For purposes of clarity, the milestone that refers to the Achievement of the Primary Endpoint in the Global Pivotal Clinical Study (Milestone event iv) shall not be payable by Eurofarma if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 13.2.2(c).
(d)
Termination due to Lack of Pricing Approval. Eurofarma shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to promptly notify Summit on the receipt of Price and Reimbursement Approval and to keep Summit updated regarding the entire process, in the Eurofarma Territory. Eurofarma may terminate the Agreement effective immediately upon written notice to the other Party within thirty (30) days after Price and Reimbursement Approval is granted by the applicable Regulatory Authorities in [**] for the first Licensed Product if such Price and Reimbursement Approval is not economically viable. For purposes of clarity, the milestone that refers to the Receipt of Price and Reimbursement Approval for a Licensed Product in [**] (Milestone event v) shall not be payable by Eurofarma if such Price and Reimbursement Approval is not economically viable and because of that this Agreement is terminated by Eurofarma pursuant to this Section 13.2.2(d).
(e)
Termination due to Transfer Price. In the event it is proven by Eurofarma to Summit that the price charged by Summit to Eurofarma for Licensed Products is no longer economically feasible to Eurofarma due to exchange rate changes or a significant rise in the cost of raw materials or a significant change in any applicable market that could significantly impact the Commercialization of the Licensed Products in the Eurofarma Territory, both Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to discuss and agree on a financially viable solution for both Parties. If both Parties do not reach an agreement within [**] days, Eurofarma may, within thirty (30) days after such failure to reach agreement, terminate the Agreement effective immediately upon written notice to Summit.
(f)
Termination due to Non-Granting of Patent Rights in [**]. At Eurofarma’s option, Eurofarma may terminate this Agreement within thirty (30) days after all claims in all Summit Patent Rights pending in [**] as of the Effective Date are finally rejected by an administrative agency action from which no appeal can be taken, provided that such rejection materially affects the Commercialization of the Licensed Products in the Eurofarma Territory. For purposes of clarity, Summit has attached to this Agreement as Schedule 1.44 the Summit Patent Rights that exist as of the Effective Date.

- 37 -

 


(g)
Termination for Infringement. Eurofarma may terminate this Agreement within thirty (30) days after receipt of any claim that the use of Summit Know How and any of Summit Patent Rights infringe any Third Party Patent Rights.
(h)
Termination due to Regulatory Matters. Eurofarma shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to promptly notify Summit on the approval or the non-approval of each Licensed Product by any Governmental Authority in the Eurofarma Territory. Eurofarma may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party within thirty (30) days after (i) the date an application for approval for the Licensed Product is rejected by any Governmental Authority in [**] and (ii) an applicable Governmental Authority in [**] requests additional studies that are proven by Eurofarma to Summit not to be economically feasible to either Party.
(i)
Challenges of Patent Rights. In the event that Eurofarma or any of its Related Parties (i) commences or participates in any action or proceeding (including any patent opposition or re-examination proceeding), or otherwise asserts any claim, challenging or denying the validity or enforceability of any Summit Patent Right or any claim thereof or (ii) actively assists any other Person in bringing or prosecuting any action or proceeding (including any patent opposition or re-examination proceeding) challenging or denying the validity or enforceability of any Summit Patent Right or any claim thereof, then (A) Eurofarma shall give notice thereof to Summit within [**] days of taking such action (or becoming aware that its Related Party has taken such action) and (B) Summit will have the right, in its sole discretion to give notice to Eurofarma that the licenses granted to Eurofarma with respect to all or any portion of the Summit Patent Rights licensed to Eurofarma under this Agreement will terminate thirty (30) days following such notice (or such longer period as Summit may designate in such notice) unless (1) Eurofarma withdraws or causes to be withdrawn all such challenges or (2) in the case of ex-parte proceedings, multi-party proceedings or other patent challenges that Eurofarma or Eurofarma’s Related Parties do not have the power to unilaterally withdraw or cause to be withdrawn, Eurofarma and Eurofarma’s Related Parties cease assisting any other party to such patent challenge and, to the extent Eurofarma or any Eurofarma Related Party is a party to such patent challenge, withdraw from such patent challenge, in each case, within such thirty (30)-day period. In the event that Summit is not permitted under Law to terminate the licenses with respect to all Summit Patent Rights under this Agreement, then the Parties agree to construe this provision to permit Summit to terminate only the licenses to that portion of such Summit Patent Rights with respect to which Summit may terminate consistent with applicable Law.

13.3.
Effect of Termination. Without limiting any other legal or equitable remedies that either Party may have:
13.3.1.
Effect of Any Termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement:
(a)
all license grants in this Agreement from Summit to Eurofarma shall immediately terminate; and
(b)
at Summit’s option, Eurofarma shall as promptly as practicable transfer to Summit or Summit’s designee (i) possession and ownership of all governmental or regulatory correspondence, conversation logs, filings and approvals (including all NDAs, Regulatory Approvals and Pricing and Reimbursement Approvals) relating to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any Licensed Product and all Eurofarma Trademarks used for any Licensed Product in the Field in the Eurofarma Territory (but not any Eurofarma house marks or any trademark containing the word “Eurofarma” owned by Eurofarma and used for any Licensed Product in the Field in the Eurofarma Territory), (ii) copies of all data, reports, records and materials, and other sales and marketing related information in Eurofarma’s possession or Control to the extent that such data, reports, records, materials or other information relate to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any Licensed Product, including all non-clinical and clinical data relating to any Licensed Product, and customer lists and customer contact information and all adverse event data in Eurofarma’s possession or Control, and Eurofarma shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain for Summit the right to access all such data, reports, records, materials and other sales and marketing related information, and (iii) all records and materials in Eurofarma’s possession or Control containing Confidential Information of Summit. Eurofarma shall further appoint Summit as Eurofarma’s or Eurofarma’s Related Parties’ agent for all Licensed Product-related matters involving Governmental Authorities in the Eurofarma Territory until all Regulatory Approvals and other regulatory filings have been transferred to Summit or its designee.
13.3.2.
Effect of Termination by Eurofarma for Convenience or Cause or by Summit for Cause. Upon any termination of this Agreement by Eurofarma pursuant to Section 13.2.1 or Section 13.2.2 or by Summit pursuant to Section 13.2.2:
(a)
Payment. Eurofarma shall pay to Summit all payment obligations that accrued prior to the effective date of termination, to the extent they have not previously been paid. For purposes of clarity, with respect to milestone payments, this Section 13.3.2(a) shall only require Eurofarma to pay Summit for the milestones achieved by the time of the termination of this Agreement and not all the milestone payment obligations contemplated in this Agreement.

- 39 -

 


(b)
Appointment as Distributor. At Summit’s option, if the effective date of termination is after the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in the Eurofarma Territory, then Eurofarma shall appoint Summit as its exclusive distributor of all Licensed Products in the Eurofarma Territory and grant Summit the right to appoint sub-distributors, until such time as all applicable Regulatory Approvals in the Eurofarma Territory have been transferred to Summit or its designee.
(c)
Third Party Agreements. At Summit’s option, and to the extent permitted under Eurofarma’s obligations to Third Parties at the time of termination, Eurofarma shall transfer to Summit any Third Party agreements relating solely and exclusively to the Development or Commercialization of any Licensed Product to which Eurofarma is a party, subject to any required consents of such Third Party, which Eurofarma shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain promptly.
(d)
Further Assistance. Eurofarma shall provide any other assistance reasonably requested by Summit for the purpose of allowing Summit or its designee to proceed expeditiously with the Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Eurofarma Territory. Eurofarma shall execute all documents and take all such further actions as may be reasonably requested by Summit in order to give effect to the foregoing clauses.
13.3.3.
Effect of Termination by Eurofarma for Convenience or by Summit for Cause. Upon any termination of this Agreement by Eurofarma pursuant to Section 13.2.1 or by Summit pursuant to Section 13.2.2, in the event that any Licensed Product is already under commercialization, Eurofarma shall pay to Summit within [**] days after the effective date of such termination, a pro rata share of the next Eurofarma Territory sales milestone payment that would have been due to Summit pursuant to Section 8.3 if this Agreement had not been terminated. By way of example, and not limitation, if, as of the effective date of termination of this Agreement, Eurofarma has made Cumulative Net Sales of Licensed Products in the Eurofarma Territory of Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000) and has paid to Summit all payments that accrued under this Agreement prior to such effective date of termination, then Eurofarma shall also pay to Summit Three Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars ($3,750,000), which is equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($7,500,000) milestone payment that Eurofarma would have owed to Summit under Section 8.3 for achievement of Three Hundred Million U.S. Dollars ($300,000,000) in Cumulative Net Sales (since Fifty Million U.S. Dollars ($50,000,000) is fifty percent (50%) of One Hundred Million U.S. Dollars ($100,000,000)). Eurofarma shall thereafter cease to have any financial obligations under this Agreement.

13.4.
Effect of Expiration or Termination; Survival. Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior to such expiration or termination. The provisions of Sections 1, 3.5.1, 7.3, 7.7, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 9.1, 9.2.1, 9.2.2, 10.4, 11, 12.1, 13.3, 13.4 and 14 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.

In case such valid provisions cannot be agreed upon, the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of one or several provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of this Agreement as a whole, unless the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions are of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement without such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
14.6.
