LICENSEE will make its records and the records of its Affiliates available for inspection by such independent certified public accountant during regular business hours on a reasonably mutually agreed-upon date and at such place or places where such records are customarily kept, upon reasonable notice from Council, to verify the accuracy of the reports and payments. Such inspection right will not be exercised more than once in any calendar year except that, following any audit that reveals an underpayment sufficient to shift the cost of the audit to Licensee, until such time as two consecutive audits show no such discrepancy, Council will have the right to have such audit performed on a quarterly basis. Council will bear all of its and the auditor’s costs and expenses associated with an audit conducted pursuant to this Section 3.2.4, provided, however, that if the designated auditor discovers an underpayment at of least the lesser of (i) twenty thousand United States dollars (US $20,000) and (ii) five percent (5%), for any Quarter between the amount of royalties LICENSEE has paid under this Agreement and the amount of royalties actually owed to Council under this Agreement, then LICENSEE will bear all costs and expenses associated with such audit and, for the avoidance of doubt, such underpayment will be considered a late payment subject to interest pursuant to the terms of Section 14.12. Council agrees to treat all information learned in the course of any audit or inspection as Confidential Information of LICENSEE except to the extent necessary for Council to (i) reveal such information in order to enforce its rights under this Agreement, or (ii) if disclosure is required by law. The results of each inspection, if any, will be binding on both Parties. LICENSEE will include substantially the same audit rights in any sublicense it grants in order to verify the correctness of payments due hereunder.

3.3.2 Any tax required to be withheld on amounts payable under this Agreement will promptly be paid by LICENSEE on behalf of Council to the appropriate governmental authority, and LICENSEE will furnish Council with proof of payment of such tax.

3.3.3 LICENSEE and Council will cooperate in good faith with respect to all documentation required by any taxing authority or reasonably requested by LICENSEE or Council to secure a reduction in the rate of applicable withholding taxes.

3.3.4 If LICENSEE had a duty to withhold taxes in connection with any payment it made to Council under this Agreement but LICENSEE failed to withhold, and such taxes were assessed against and paid by LICENSEE, then LICENSEE will furnish Council with proof of payment of such taxes (not including any interest or penalty) and Council will reimburse LICENSEE for such amount within forty-five (45) days after Council’s receipt of written notice from LICENSEE of such payment by LICENSEE.

3.4 Without limiting Section 2.2.1, in the event that LICENSEE or any successor in interest to LICENSEE sublicenses rights under this Agreement to any Person or Persons in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, LICENSEE or such successor will ensure that any such sublicensee, agrees to provisions whereby the Net Sales of Licensed Product by such sublicensee are considered in determining the royalty rates and milestone and royalty payment amounts owed and paid to the Council hereunder and that such sublicensee is liable for any non-payment of any such amount that related to such Net Sales of such sublicensee.

In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no committee may amend or modify the terms or provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Each Party will ensure that its representatives to a committee have appropriate expertise and authority to serve as members of such committee. With the consent of the representatives of each Party serving on a particular committee, other representatives of each Party may attend meetings of that committee as observers. Each Party will be responsible for all of its own expenses of participating in committee meetings. Each Party will use good faith and cooperative efforts to facilitate and assist the efforts of the committees.

4.2.3 Subject to Section 4.2.2, LICENSEE (itself or through an Affiliate or permitted Third Party sublicensee) will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maintain the NDA for the Licensed Product in the Territory. Without limiting the obligation of LICENSEE in the previous sentence, in the event that LICENSEE determines that LICENSEE will not maintain the NDA for the Licensed Product, LICENSEE will promptly notify COUNCIL of such determination and will provide the Council a reasonable opportunity within five (5) Business Days of such notification to discuss such determination and to offer suggestions regarding potential avenues to maintain the NDA, and if the Parties cannot agree within ten (10) Business Days after such notification on a pathway reasonably likely to permit the LICENSEE to maintain the NDA, then such notification will constitute a notice of Termination by LICENSEE under Section 12.3.1(a) (termination for reason other than for Council’s material breach), provided that the one hundred eighty (180) day notice period for effectiveness of such termination may be shortened by mutual agreement of the Parties to any lesser time period down to an immediate termination as of the expiration of such ten (10) day period following such notification.

6.6.1 Council will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (a) prosecute and maintain Council Patent Rights by duly filing all necessary papers and paying any fees required for such purpose by the patent laws of the particular country in which such Council Patent Right was granted, and (b) obtain such patent extensions or restorations of patent terms as may become available from time to time in any country regarding Council Patent Rights.

6.6.2 In the event Council decides not to prosecute or maintain a Council Patent Right or seek a patent extension or restoration, Council will give LICENSEE written notice at least 60 days prior to Council allowing such application to go abandoned or prior to Council not taking a necessary step to maintain such patent or seek such a patent extension or restoration, and LICENSEE will have the option of taking over the prosecution or maintenance of such application or patent or seeking such patent extension or restoration, in each case at its sole expense. If LICENSEE elects to take over the prosecution or maintenance of any application or patent or to seek such a patent extension or restoration, in each case pursuant to this Section 6.2.2, Council will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, assign all its right, title and interest in such application or patent in the Territory to LICENSEE.

6.7 No Challenge. LICENSEE will not and will ensure that its sublicensees and their respective Affiliates and do not challenge the validity or enforceability of any of the patents that are licensed to Licensee hereunder or assist any Third Parties to do the same. If LICENSEE or any of its distributors, or sublicensees or their respective Affiliates challenges or supports a Third Party challenge to the validity or enforceability of any such patent or assists any Third Party to do the same, LICENSEE will pay Council’s reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) for defending against such challenge, which payments will be made on a monthly basis in arrears.

VII. INFRINGEMENT BY OR CLAIMS AGAINST THIRD PARTIES

7.1 Notices. Each Party will advise the Joint Product Committee promptly upon its becoming aware of: (a) any unlicensed activities which such Party believes may be an actual or impending infringement in the Territory of any patent or other proprietary right owned or applied for by it or the other Party and related to the Licensed Product or the development, manufacture, use, importation, or sale thereof; (b) any attack on or appeal of the grant of any patent owned or applied for by it or the other Party and related to the Licensed Product or the development, manufacture, use, or sale thereof; (c) any application for patent by, or the grant of a patent to, a Third Party in respect of rights which may be related to the Licensed Product so as to potentially affect the development, manufacture, use, importation, or sale thereof or which may claim the same subject matter as or conflict with any patent owned or applied for by it or the other Party and related to the Licensed Product, or the development, manufacture, use, importation, or sale thereof; or (d) any application made for a compulsory license under any patent owned or applied for by it or the other Party and related to the Licensed Product or the development, manufacture, use, importation, or sale thereof.

7.2 Control of Enforcement.

7.2.1 The Parties will determine through discussions at the Joint Product Committee whether or not to take whatever legal or other action is required in response to activities requiring notice under Section 7.1 (“Protective Action”). If the Joint Product Committee determines that such Protective Action is warranted, then, unless the Joint Product Committee determines otherwise, LICENSEE will, at LICENSEE’s expense, commence and prosecute such Protective Action at the direction of the Joint Product Committee or its designee. Council will, at LICENSEE’s expense, cooperate with LICENSEE in such action, including, without limitation, being joined as a Party to such action if such joinder is necessary for standing. Notwithstanding, Council will be responsible for its own internal costs associated with such action. Each Party may be represented by counsel of its own selection at its own expense in such Protective Action. Any recovery obtained as a result of such Protective Action, whether by judgment, award, decree, or settlement, will, after reimbursement of the Parties for their reasonable costs and expenses associated with such Protective Action, be retained by LICENSEE and included in and added to the total gross amounts invoiced for sales of Licensed Product for purposes of calculating royalties under the terms of Section 3.3. To the extent such recovery is insufficient to reimburse the Parties’ associated reasonable costs and expenses fully, then a Party’s share of the recovery will be the product of the total amount recovered with that Party’s reasonable costs and expenses divided by the sum of both Parties’ reasonable costs and expenses.

VIII. INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS

8.1 Third Party Claims. LICENSEE and Council will each promptly notify the Joint Product Committee of any Claim by a Third Party against LICENSEE or Council, or any Affiliate or sublicensee of Council or LICENSEE, alleging infringement of such Third Party’s intellectual property rights as a result of the development, manufacture, marketing, sale, importation, or use of the Licensed Product anywhere in the Territory. As directed by the Joint Product Committee, the Parties will cooperate and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to resolve such claimed infringement, with each Party entitled to participate in the defense and to be represented by counsel of its choice, with each Party being responsible for the fees of its counsel; provided, however, that if it appears reasonably likely that the claimed infringement will give rise to a Claim for indemnification hereunder, then the Party against whom such Claim for indemnification would be made will have the first right to defend against such Claim in accordance with Article XIII below.

8.2 Payments to Third Parties. If a Third Party has or receives a patent in the United States that covers the development, manufacture, sale, importation, or use of the Licensed Product as the License Product was manufactured and composed as of the Effective Date, and the LICENSEE reasonably determines, after reasonable consultation with the Council and reasonable consideration of any arguments with respect thereto raised by the Council, that LICENSEE is required to obtain a license to such patent as to such Licensed Product for a royalty or other payment to such Third Party (including that any Licensed Product at issue cannot be reasonably manufactured differently so as to avoid the requirement), then LICENSEE may enter into such a license agreement and will pay all costs and expenses associated therewith, provided that LICENSEE will be entitled to deduct from royalties owed to Counsel hereunder an amount not to exceed [***] of the royalties actually paid to such Third Party up to a maximum deduction of [***] of the royalties otherwise owed by LICENSEE to Council in the aggregate for all such royalties for which LICENSEE is entitled to make such deduction. To the extent Council has, prior to the Effective Date, entered into any agreement with any Third Party for rights under such Third Party’s intellectual property, Council will be solely responsible for payment of any amounts owed under such agreement to such Third Party as a result of sales of Licensed Product pursuant to this Agreement.

10.1.3 The Parties will execute and deliver any further or additional instruments or documents and perform any acts which may be reasonably necessary in order to effectuate and carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

10.2 Exclusivity.

10.2.1 Beginning with the Effective Date and ending on the first to occur of (i) the date of the first commercial sale of the first Generic Equivalent by a Third Party in the Territory, and (ii) six (6) years after the Effective Date (“Exclusivity Term”), neither LICENSEE, nor any sublicensee of LICENSEE that is Commercializing Licensed Product hereunder, nor any of their respective Affiliates that are Commercializing Licensed Product, will enter into contractual arrangements to (a) own, (b) manage or operate, (c) be engaged in, (d) provide services to, or (e) have an economic interest in, in each case, any business that is Commercializing [***] other than a Licensed Product (a “Competing Product”). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement:

(a) LICENSEE and any of its Affiliates or sublicensees may, under the license granted, use, distribute, sell, offer for sale, have sold and import Licensed Product as a generic product (“Authorized Generic Product”) in the Territory at any time after a Third Party launches a Generic Equivalent in the Territory. LICENSEE will send to the Council any and all verifiable evidence that a Third Party intends to launch a Generic Equivalent in the United States and will notify the Council promptly in writing in the event that LICENSEE or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees decides to use, distribute, sell, offer for sale, have sold and import Technology as an Authorized Generic Product in the Territory.

(b) In the event that LICENSEE or any of its affiliates or sublicensees obtains information showing that it is reasonably likely, based on objective evidence, which may include, without limitation, written notification of filing of an ANDA for such Generic Licensed Product, to the extent such notification is then required by applicable law, or filing of an action challenging Patent(s) pertaining to Council Technology in the United States, or similar verifiable evidence, that a Third Party intends to Commercialize a Generic Licensed Product in the United States, the Joint Product Committee may determine, subject to a veto right of the Council, that LICENSEE and any of its affiliates or sublicensees may, under the license granted, use, distribute, sell, offer for sale, have sold and import Licensed Product as an Authorized Generic Product prior to the launch of a Generic Licensed Product by a Third Party.

(c) In the event that LICENSEE is acquired by or acquires a Third Party through a merger, sale of stock or sale of all or substantially all of LICENSEE’s assets, if such Third Party has, prior to and at the time of such acquisition, a Competing Product, then the restrictions described in this Section 10.2.1 shall not apply to such Third Party as long as LICENSEE takes reasonable steps to ensure that no Council Technology or Program Improvements are used in the development, Manufacturing or Commercialization of such Competing Product including as follows: (i) by limiting the access of Council Technology or Program Improvements by LICENSEE personnel that are working on such Competing Product to those such LICENSEE personnel that have a need-to-know such information for the performance of LICENSEE’s obligations under this Agreement; and (ii) by conducting the research or Development activities required under this Agreement separately from any research or development activities directed to such Competing Product, including by the maintenance of separate lab notebooks and records (password-protected to the extent kept on a computer network) (except that this requirement shall not apply to personnel who have senior research management roles and not project level research roles, provided such personnel in senior research management roles are not directly involved in the day-to-day activities under such Competing Program).

(d) LICENSEE shall have the right to engage Third Party manufacturers that are manufacturing Competing Products, provided such Third Party manufacturer is not manufacturing a Competing Product on behalf of LICENSEE during the Exclusivity Term and does not use Council Technology for the manufacture of such Competing Product.

10.2.2 Subject to this Section 10.2.2 (including the exclusive option described herein), LICENSEE acknowledges that, in furtherance of Council’s goals, Council will continue to sponsor the development of contraceptive and other products which may, from time to time, compete with the Licensed Product, and that Council may receive compensation from licensees of such competing products in respect of sales thereof:

(a) Council hereby grants LICENSEE an exclusive option (“Option”) to negotiate an exclusive license under which LICENSEE would have the exclusive right to develop, Commercialize, manufacture, make, have made, use, import, export, offer to sell, sell, have sold and distribute New Products in the Territory (“New License”). LICENSEE will have the right to exercise the Option at any time beginning on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2019 (the “Option Period”) by delivery of written notice to Council specifying the category or categories ((i) or (ii) set forth in the definition of New Product) for which LICENSEE is exercising the Option (“Option Exercise Notice”). Upon delivery of the Option Exercise Notice by LICENSEE in accordance with this Section 10.2.2(a) and for the remainder of the Option Period (such time period, the “Negotiation Period”, as may be extended by the Parties by mutual agreement), the Parties will negotiate in good faith a definitive written agreement for the New License, (such definitive agreement, the “License Agreement”), provided that the reasonableness and good faith of any position taken by a Party during such negotiation shall not be determined based on the presence or absence of any term or condition contained in this Agreement. During the Negotiation Period, Council will provide to LICENSEE such reasonable additional information in Council’s possession and Control regarding the New Product as LICENSEE may reasonably request in writing to assist LICENSEE to make a reasonably informed decision with respect to the execution of the License Agreement, provided that in the event that the Parties do not enter into a License Agreement by the end of the Option Period, LICENSEE shall return to Council all such additional information (and all copies thereof) promptly upon expiration of the Option Period. With respect to each category (i) and (ii) set forth in the definition of New Product, upon the expiration of the Option Period for such category without the Parties’ having entered into a License Agreement for such category of New Product, Council will have the right to assign, transfer, convey, license, or otherwise encumber its rights with respect to such category of New Product and any product falling within such category with any Third Party or multiple Third Parties without owing any duty or obligation to LICENSEE with respect thereto. LICENSEE acknowledges and agrees that in the event it does not exercise the Option or the Parties fail to enter in to the License Agreement for one or both of the categories of New Products, that, subject to Council fulfilling its obligations under Section 10.2.2(c) and 10.2.2(d), any development or Commercialization of one or more products within any such category of New Product by or on behalf of Council or a licensee of Council with respect thereto in the Territory may compete with the Licensed Product hereunder.

(b) “New Product” means (i) any vaginal ring product developed by the Council after the Effective Date that contains both and only Nestorone and estradiol as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, and (ii) any vaginal ring product that contains both Nestorone and ethinyl estradiol as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients.

(c) During the Option Period, the Council will not assign, transfer, convey, license, or otherwise encumber its right, title and interest in the any New Product in any manner that would prevent it from entering into and granting the rights to LICENSEE contemplated under this Section 10.2.2 upon agreement by the Parties, if any, as to the form and substance of the License Agreement and execution thereof.

(d) Council agrees not to license intellectual property rights encompassing or claiming any New Product to any Third Party in a manner that grants rights to market such New Product in the United States prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Date.

XI. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

11.1 Confidentiality.

11.1.1 During the Product Term and at all times thereafter, each Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep, and cause its Affiliates and permitted sublicensees, if any, to keep confidential all Confidential Information of the other Party, and neither Party nor any of its Affiliates or sublicensees, if any, will use or disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party except as expressly permitted in this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that Confidential Information may have been disclosed by either Party or its Affiliates to the other Party or its Affiliates pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement. All information disclosed pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement will be deemed Confidential Information of the disclosing Party within the meaning of this Agreement and subject to the terms hereof.

11.1.2 The fact that a particular item of information is not or has ceased to be Confidential Information by virtue of one or more of the exclusions specified in the definition of Confidential Information set forth in Section 1.12 (the “Excluded Item”) will not relieve the Party who obtained or received the Excluded Item from that Party’s obligation of confidentiality and non-use (a) as to any other item of Confidential Information of the other Party or (b) as to the relationship of the Excluded Item to any other item of Confidential Information of the other Party.

11.1.3 Each Party hereby acknowledges that the Confidential Information of the other Party is highly valuable, proprietary, and confidential and that any disclosure to any officer, director, employee, trustee, or agent of such Party or any of its Affiliates will be made only to the extent necessary to carry out its responsibilities under this Agreement and only if such officer, director, employee, trustee, or agent is informed of the confidential nature thereof and will have agreed to hold such information in confidence under confidentiality provisions at least as stringent as those provided in this Agreement.

11.1.4 The Parties agree that the obligations of this Section 11.1 are necessary and reasonable in order to protect the Parties’ respective businesses, and that monetary damages alone may be inadequate to compensate a Party for any breach by the other Party of its covenants and agreements set forth herein. The Parties agree that any breach or threatened breach of this Section 11.1 may cause irreparable injury to the injured Party for which Damages may not be an adequate remedy and that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, in law and equity or otherwise, such Party will be entitled to seek equitable relief against the breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 11.1.

11.1.5 Following termination of the License for any reason and at the request of the other, each Party will destroy all physical records or embodiments of Confidential Information of the other Party or return such information to the other Party, at the returning Party’s expense, and a senior officer of such Party will certify to the other Party that all such items have been so returned or destroyed; provided, however, that each Party will be entitled to maintain one copy of the Confidential Information of the other Party solely for the purpose of monitoring its continuing obligations hereunder.

11.2 Disclosure to Investors; Public Announcements. Prior to making any public announcement or other disclosure regarding this Agreement, the Parties will agree in writing on an initial press release of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the “Initial Press Release”). The Initial Press Release may be issued or used by any Party individually or by the Parties jointly on or after the Effective Date. Other than the Initial Press Release and any information described therein, neither Party will disclose the specific terms described in this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Party, except such announcements or disclosures, as in the opinion of the counsel for the Party making such announcement or disclosure, are required by law or regulation (including, without limitation, the regulations or rules of any stock exchange or similar self-governing body) If a Party decides to make an announcement or disclosure it believes to be required by law or regulation with respect to this Agreement or the subject matter hereof, it will give the other Party such notice as is reasonably practicable and the Parties will work together in good faith to attempt to agree on the content of the disclosure; provided, however, that if such announcement or disclosure is required to be made immediately pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, then no such agreement will be required, and provided further that the Party deciding to make such an announcement shall have the final decision making authority with respect to the form, content and timing of such disclosure.

11.3 Required Disclosure. The receiving Party will be entitled to disclose Confidential Information where such disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce its rights pursuant to this Agreement or where demand for such disclosure is made on the receiving Party pursuant to: (i) a valid order of a court or other governmental body or (ii) any other applicable law or regulation; provided that if the receiving Party intends to make such disclosure or receives such demand, the receiving Party will give the disclosing Party prompt notice of such fact to enable the disclosing Party to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy concerning any such disclosure. The receiving Party will fully co-operate with the disclosing Party at the disclosing Party’s expense in connection with the disclosing Party’s efforts to obtain any such order or other remedy. If any such order or other remedy does not fully preclude disclosure, the receiving Party will make such disclosure only to the extent that such disclosure is legally required.

11.4 Use of Council’s Name. LICENSEE will not use or refer to Council’s name, in writing or otherwise, except (1) with the approval of Council in accordance with the following sentence of this clause, (ii) by disseminating informational materials furnished by Council or (iii) in order to comply with any requirement of the FDA or any other requirement of applicable law. Prior to each proposed use of Council’s name (other than pursuant to clause (ii) above), LICENSEE will submit to Council a sample of such proposed use. Not later than the tenth Business Day (the “Notice Deadline”) after the date of its receipt of such sample, Council will notify LICENSEE in writing (the “Use Notice”) whether it approves such proposed use, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. If Council does not deliver the Use Notice on or before the Notice Deadline, Council will be deemed to have approved such use. When using Council’s name in any promotional and other materials or public information generated by LICENSEE relating to the Licensed Product, LICENSEE will credit Council for its role in inventing and developing the Licensed Product.

XII. TERM AND TERMINATION

12.1 Term. The “Term” of this Agreement will commence on, and this Agreement will remain in full force and effect from, the Effective Date and will continue until the later of (a) the expiration of the last-to-expire of the Council Patent Rights in the Territory, or (b) the date following such expiration that follows a continuous period of six (6) months during which LICENSEE or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees have made no commercial sales of Licensed Product in the Territory, unless earlier terminated as specified in this Article XII.

13.2 Conditions of Indemnification of Third-Party Claims. The obligations and liabilities of an indemnifying Party under Section 13.1 and hereof with respect to Damages resulting from Claims made by Third Parties will be subject to the following terms and conditions:

13.2.1 Promptly after the delivery of a notice seeking indemnification in respect of a Claim and subject to Section 13.2.3, the indemnifying Party may elect, by written notice to the indemnified Party, to undertake the defense thereof, at the sole cost and expense of the indemnifying Party, provided that an indemnified Party’s failure or delay to provide notice to the indemnifying party will not constitute a waiver of the indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations unless, and then only to the extent that, an indemnifying Party is actually and damaged thereby. If the indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Claim, the indemnified Party will cooperate with all reasonable requests of the indemnifying Party and will make available to the indemnifying Party any books, records or other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such defense.

13.2.2 In the event that the indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time after receipt of a notice seeking indemnification, does not so elect to defend such Claim, the indemnified Party will have the right (upon further notice to the indemnifying Party) to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim for the account of the indemnifying Party, subject to the right of the indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such Claim pursuant to the terms of Section 13.2.1 at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof, provided, that the indemnifying Party reimburses in full all costs of the indemnified Party (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with such defense prior to such assumption.

13.3 Insurance. In addition to its duty to indemnify, beginning on the date of the first commercial sale of a Licensed Product and during the Term and for a period of [***], LICENSEE will, at its expense, maintain with insurers rated A-7 or higher by A.M. Best a comprehensive general liability insurance policy or policies, including coverage exclusively for the Licensed Product for product liability of least [***], provided that LICENSEE will, on no less than an annual basis have the applicable policies reviewed by a reputable licensed insurance broker in the applicable market with reference to Licensed Product sales in the prior period, projected sales and other relevant factors to determine an appropriate level of insurance for the Licensed Product, will increase the foregoing exclusive coverage as so advised by such broker, and will promptly notify the Council in writing regarding any such increased coverage. Such insurance policy or policies will name Council as an additional insured and will provide that at least 30 days’ prior written notice of cancellation or material change in coverage under such policy or policies will be given to Council. LICENSEE will furnish copies of such policy or policies to Council as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, and will provide documentation evidencing that such policy or a similar policy is in force each year during the Term.

13.4 Settlements. No Person who has undertaken to defend a Claim under Sections 13.2.1 or 13.2.2 will, without written consent of all indemnified Parties, settle or compromise any Claim or consent to entry of any judgment, provided, however, that such consent will not be required if such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes as an unconditional term thereof the release by the claimant or the plaintiff of all indemnified Parties from all liability arising from events which allegedly gave rise to such Claim and (ii) contains no restriction, limitation or prohibition of any kind on the manner in which any indemnified Party conducts its business.

14.3 Dispute Resolution. If a dispute arises between the Parties under or with respect to this Agreement (a “Dispute”), it will first be submitted to the respective chief executive officers of the Parties for resolution by good-faith negotiation. Any Dispute not resolved by such good-faith negotiation after thirty (30) days from the first notification by one Party to the other Party of the existence of such Dispute may be submitted thereafter by one or both Parties to Arbitration in accordance with this Section 14.3. Any Dispute not settled by negotiation between the Parties will be finally resolved by, arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect (the “Rules”), except as modified herein. The place of arbitration will be New York, New York. If the amount in controversy is $4 million or less (including all claims and counterclaims) there will be one (1) neutral and impartial arbitrator who will be agreed upon by the Parties within twenty (20) days of receipt by respondent of a copy of the demand for arbitration. If the amount in controversy is more than $4 million (including all claims and counterclaims) there will be three (3) neutral and impartial arbitrators, of whom each Party will appoint one (1) within thirty (30) days of the receipt by the respondent of the demand for arbitration. The two (2) arbitrators so appointed will select the chair of the arbitral tribunal within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator. If any arbitrator is not appointed within the time limit provided herein, such arbitrator will be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the listing, striking, and ranking procedures in the Rules. Any arbitrator appointed by the AAA will be a retired judge or a practicing attorney with no less than fifteen (15) years of experience with commercial cases and an experienced arbitrator, who will if practicable, have substantial experience with transactions or disputes related to the field of pharmaceuticals and/or, if applicable, intellectual property. In rendering an award, the arbitral tribunal will be required to follow the laws of the state of New York. The arbitral tribunal is not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover punitive, exemplary, multiple or similar damages with respect to any Dispute. Any arbitration proceedings, decision, or award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect, and interpretation of this arbitration provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq. The award will be in writing and will state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based. The award will be final and binding upon the Parties and will be the sole and exclusive remedy between the Parties regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues, or accounting presented to the arbitrator(s). Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any costs or fees (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incident to enforcing the award will be charged against the Party resisting such enforcement. By agreeing to arbitration, the Parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any award. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitral tribunal will have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the Parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of a Party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect. The Parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in New York County, New York, for the purpose of an order to compel arbitration, for preliminary relief in aid of arbitration, or for a preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo or prevent irreparable harm prior to the appointment of the arbitrators, and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the enforcement of any award issued hereunder. The Parties hereby agree to accept service of process pursuant to the notice provisions of this Agreement.
