8.2          Indemnification by Allergan. Allergan shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Licensee, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents ("Licensee Indemnitees") from and against Damages brought or Claimed by or on behalf of any Third Party (other than a Licensee Indemnitee) to the extent arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, (a) any breach of this Agreement by Allergan Indemnitees; (b) the negligence or willful misconduct by or of Allergan Indemnitees; (c) any failure of Allergan Indemnitees to comply with any applicable Laws in connection with performing its obligations under this Agreement, except, in each case of clauses (a), (b), or (c) above, to the extent that any such Damages arise from any activity set forth in Sections 8.1(a), 8.1(b), or 8.1(c) or for which Licensee is obligated to indemnify Allergan Indemnitees.

 

8.3          Indemnification Procedures. In the event of any such Claim against any Licensee Indemnitee or Allergan Indemnitee (individually, an "Indemnitee"), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the other party in writing of the Claim for which indemnification is sought under this Article VIII; provided, that, failure to promptly notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of any obligation to the indemnified party under this Section 8.3 solely to the extent prejudicial to the indemnifying party's ability to defend such action. The indemnifying party shall, at its sole expense, defend and control such Claim with counsel of its own choosing; provided, however, that the indemnified party may participate in the defense of such Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. The indemnified party shall, and shall cause its Indemnitees to, fully cooperate with the indemnifying party in the investigation or defense of any Damages or Third Party Claim covered by this Article VIII. The Indemnitees shall not settle such Claim without the indemnifying party's prior written consent. The indemnifying party shall not settle such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitees against which such Claim was brought, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

8.4          Apportionment. In the event a Claim is based partially on an indemnified Claim described in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 above and partially on a non-indemnified Claim, or is based partially on a Claim indemnified by one Party and partially on a claim indemnified by the other Party pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 above, any payments and reasonable attorney fees incurred in connection with such claims are to be apportioned between the Parties in accordance with the degree of cause attributed to each Party.

 

8.5          Limitation of Liability. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 8.5 IS INTENDED TO LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF EITHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF EITHER PARTY WITH RESPECT TO (A) THE INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF THE OTHER PARTY'S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR (B) UNAUTHORIZED USE OR DISCLOSURE OF THE OTHER PARTY'S CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

CONFIDENTIAL

 

9.3          Force Majeure. The occurrence of an event that materially interferes with the ability of a Party to perform its obligations or duties hereunder which is not within the reasonable control of the Party affected, not due to such Party's malfeasance, and which could not with the exercise of due diligence have been avoided (each, a "Force Majeure"), including an injunction, order or action by a Governmental Authority, fire, accident, labor difficulty, strike, riot, civil commotion, act of God, delay or errors by shipping companies or change in applicable Law, shall not excuse such Party from the performance of its obligations or duties under this Agreement, but shall merely suspend such performance during the continuation of Force Majeure. The Party prevented from performing its obligations or duties because of Force Majeure shall promptly notify the other Party hereto of the occurrence and particulars of such Force Majeure and shall provide the other Party, from time to time, with its best estimate of the duration of such Force Majeure and with notice of the termination thereof. The Party so affected shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance. Upon termination of Force Majeure, the performance of any suspended obligation or duty shall promptly recommence.

 

9.4          Choice of Law. All disputes, claims or controversies arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its formation, existence, validity, enforceability, performance, interpretation or termination, shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, USA (without reference to its choice of law or conflicts of law rules).

It is further understood and agreed that each Party may assign, or otherwise cause to be performed, its obligations under this Agreement (including obligations of confidentiality, processing and payment) to or by, as the case may be, one or more of its Affiliates. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and subject to the terms of the foregoing sentence, inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto, their successors, legal representatives and assigns.
