(d)  LimitationsThe failure of an Indemnitee to deliver notice to the other Party (for purposes of this Section 11.1(d), the “Indemnitor”) within a reasonable time after the commencement of any Claim for which such Indemnitee seeks to exercise its rights under Section 11.1, if prejudicial to the Indemnitor’s ability to defend such Claim, shall relieve the Indemnitor of its obligation to the Indemnitees under Section 11.1.  The Parties agree that only Ocera or Licensee may seek to exercise the rights under Section 11.1 (on its own behalf or on behalf of its Indemnitees), and other Indemnitees may not directly seek to exercise such rights.

11.2                        Limitation on Liability.  IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED; PROVIDED HOWEVER, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 11.2 IS INTENDED TO LIMIT THE RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF EITHER PARTY UNDER SECTION 11.1.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY FOR CLAIMS ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT UNDER ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION (INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY CLAIM FOR INDEMNIFICATION) SHALL BE [*]; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, LIABILITY FOR BREACHES OF THE REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS IN [*]

 

11.3                        Mutual Releases.  Upon execution of this Agreement by all Parties, the provisions of Section 11.3 shall apply to each of Ocera and Licensee, respectively.  With respect solely to the Prior Licensee Agreements, a Party on behalf of itself, its subsidiaries, affiliates, parents, predecessors, successors and assigns or transferees, and each of their respective representatives, officers, agents, shareholders, partners, members, managers, directors, employees, successors and assigns, and any person or entity acting for or on behalf of any of them and each of them, (for purposes of this Section 11.3, collectively, such Party’s “Releasing Parties”) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases the other Party, its/their controlled entities, subsidiaries, affiliates, personal representatives, agents, employees, trustees, successors and assigns or transferees and each of their respective officers, agents, shareholders, partners, members, managers, directors, employees, and any person or entity acting for or on behalf of any of them and each of them, (for purposes of this Section 11.3, collectively, the other Party’s “Released Parties”) of and from any and all claims, liabilities, demands, obligations, amounts due, damages, losses, actions and causes of action of any nature and extent whatsoever arising from actions or failures to act that occurred prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, whether presently known or unknown, and whether based at law or in equity, that Releasing Parties may now have or claim to have against one or more of the Released Parties.

 

Article 12
Dispute Resolution

 

12.1                        Internal Resolution.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any Disputes shall be first referred to a Licensee Vice President and an Ocera Vice President for resolution, prior to proceeding under the other provisions of Article 12.  A Dispute shall be referred to such executives upon one Party providing the other Party with notice that such Dispute exists, and such executives (or their designees) shall attempt to resolve such Dispute through good faith discussions.  In the event that such Dispute is not resolved within [*] of such other Party’s receipt of such notice, subject to Section 12.3, either Party may initiate the Dispute resolution provisions in Section 12.2.  The Parties agree that any discussions between such executives (or their designees) regarding such Dispute do not constitute settlement discussions, unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing.

12.2                        Arbitration.

 

(a)  Rules.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including under Section 12.3), the Parties agree that any Dispute not resolved internally by the Parties pursuant to Section 12.1 shall be resolved through binding arbitration conducted by the International Chamber of Commerce in accordance with the then prevailing Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (for purposes of Article 12, the “Rules”), except as modified in this Agreement, applying the substantive law specified in Section 13.2.

 

(b)  Arbitrators; Location; Language.  Each Party shall select one (1) arbitrator, and the two (2) arbitrators so selected shall choose a third arbitrator.  All three (3) arbitrators shall serve as neutrals and have at least ten (10) years of (i) dispute resolution experience (which may include judicial experience) or (ii) legal or business experience in the biotech or pharmaceutical industry.  In any event, at least one (1) arbitrator shall satisfy the foregoing experience requirement under clause (ii).  If a Party fails to nominate its arbitrator, or if the Parties’ arbitrators cannot agree on the third arbitrator, the necessary appointments shall be made in accordance with the Rules.  Once appointed by a Party, such Party shall have no ex parte communication with its appointed arbitrator.  The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in San Francisco, California.  The arbitration proceedings and all pleadings and written evidence shall be in the English language.  Any written evidence originally in another language shall be submitted in English translation accompanied by the original or a true copy thereof.

 

(c)  Procedures; Awards.  Each Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to make all of its current employees available, if reasonably needed, and agrees that the arbitrators may deem any party as “necessary.”  The arbitrators shall be instructed and required to render a written, binding, non-appealable resolution and award on each issue that clearly states the basis upon which such resolution and award is made.  The written resolution and award shall be delivered to the Parties as expeditiously as possible, but in no event more than [*] after conclusion of the hearing, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties.  Judgment upon such award may be entered in any competent court or application may be made to any competent court for judicial acceptance of such an award and order for enforcement.

 

(d)  Costs.  The “prevailing” Party, as determined by the arbitrators, shall be entitled to (i) its share of fees and expenses of the arbitrators and (ii) its attorneys’ fees and associated costs and expenses.  In determining which Party “prevailed,” the arbitrators shall consider (i) the significance, including the financial impact, of the claims prevailed upon and (ii) the scope of claims prevailed upon, in comparison to the total scope of the claims at issue.  If the arbitrators determine that, given the scope of the arbitration, neither Party “prevailed,” the arbitrators

 

**Confidential Treatment Requested**

 

21



 

shall order that the Parties (i) share equally the fees and expenses of the arbitrators and (ii) bear their own attorneys’ fees and associated costs and expenses.

 

(e)  Interim Equitable Relief.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.2, in the event that a Party reasonably requires relief on a more expedited basis than would be possible pursuant to the procedure set forth in Article 12, such Party may seek a temporary injunction or other interim equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction pending the opportunity of the arbitrators to review the decision under Section 12.2.  Such court shall have no jurisdiction or ability to resolve Disputes beyond the specific issue of temporary injunction or other interim equitable relief.

 

(f)  Protective Orders; Arbitrability.  At the request of either Party, the arbitrators shall enter an appropriate protective order to maintain the confidentiality of information produced or exchanged in the course of the arbitration proceedings.  The arbitrators shall have the power to decide all questions of arbitrability.

 

12.3                        Subject Matter Exclusions.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.2, any Dispute not resolved internally by the Parties pursuant to Section 12.1 that involves the validity, infringement or enforceability of a Patent included in a license granted in this Agreement (a) that is issued in the United States shall be subject to actions before the United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or submitted exclusively to the federal court located in the jurisdiction of the district where any of the defendants reside; and (b) that is issued in any other country (or region) shall be brought before an appropriate regulatory or administrative body or court in that country (or region), and the Parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts and bodies.

 

Article 13

13.2                        Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the [*], without regard to conflict of laws principles.  The Parties hereby exclude from this Agreement the application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

 

13.3                        Actions of Affiliates.  Each Party may exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement personally or through one or more Affiliates, provided that such Party shall nonetheless be primarily liable for the performance of its Affiliates and for any failure by its Affiliates to comply with the restrictions, limitations and obligations set forth in this Agreement.

 

13.4                        Assignment.

 

(a)  Generally.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Ocera may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Licensee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.  Either Party may assign this Agreement, in its

 

**Confidential Treatment Requested**

 

24



 

entirety, to (i) an Affiliate or (ii) to a Third Party in connection with a Change of Control (as defined in Section 13.4(b)) of such Party, provided, in each case, that the party to which this Agreement is assigned expressly agrees in writing to assume and be bound by the obligations of the assigning Party under this Agreement.  A copy of such writing shall be provided to the non-assigning Party [*] of the assignment.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and bind the Parties’ successors and assigns.  Any assignment in contravention of the foregoing shall be null and void.

 

(b)  Change of Control.  In the event of any transfer, conveyance or assignment of this Agreement by Ocera in connection with a Change of Control, in no event shall the Ocera IP include any [*] that would not otherwise be included but for such Change of Control, including that of any Third Party and/or Affiliate.  For purposes of Section 13.4, a “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (i) a Party enters into a merger, consolidation, stock sale or sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to which this Agreement relates, or other similar transaction or series of transactions with a Third Party; or (ii) any transaction or series of related transactions in which any Third Party or group of Third Parties acquires beneficial ownership of securities of a Party representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of such Party; or (iii) any transaction or series of related transactions in which any Third Party or group of Third Parties acquires all or substantially all of a Party’s assets relating to this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a stock sale by a Party to Third Parties (including any underwriters of a public offering of a Party’s capital stock) whether in a public or private transaction solely for the purpose of financing or a transaction solely to change the domicile of a Party shall not constitute a Change of Control.

 

13.5                        Force Majeure.  Neither Party shall be deemed to have breached this Agreement for failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement to the extent such failure results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party, such causes including acts of God, earthquakes, fires, floods, embargoes, wars, acts of terrorism, insurrections, riots, civil commotions, omissions or delays in action by any governmental authority, acts of a government or agency thereof and judicial orders or decrees.  If a force majeure event occurs, the Party unable to perform shall promptly notify the other Party of the occurrence of such event, and the Parties shall meet (in person or telephonically) promptly thereafter to discuss the circumstances relating thereto.  The Party unable to perform shall (a) provide reasonable status updates to the other Party from time to time; (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any adverse consequences arising out of its failure to perform; and (c) resume performance as promptly as possible.

 

13.6                        Relationship of the Parties.  The Parties to this Agreement are independent contractors, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to create a

 

**Confidential Treatment Requested**

partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, agency or fiduciary relationship between the Parties.

 

13.7                        Amendment; Waiver.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no amendment to this Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing and executed by an authorized representative of each Party.  A Party’s failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, power, privilege or remedy under this Agreement shall not (a) operate as a waiver thereof or (b) operate as a waiver of any other right, power, privilege or remedy.  A waiver will be effective only upon the written consent of the Party granting such waiver.

 

13.8                        Construction; Captions.  Each Party acknowledges that it participated in the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and that it had the opportunity to consult with an attorney of its choice in connection therewith.  Ambiguities, if any, in this Agreement shall not be construed against either Party, irrespective of which Party may be deemed to have drafted the Agreement or authorized the ambiguous provision.  Capitalized terms defined in the singular shall include the plural and vice versa.  The terms “includes” and “including” mean “includes, without limitation,” and “including, without limitation,” respectively.  Titles, headings and other captions are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

13.9                        Severability.  If any of the provisions of this Agreement are held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions shall be replaced by legal, valid and enforceable provisions that will achieve to the maximum extent possible the intent of the Parties, and the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

13.10                 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and terminates all prior agreements, understandings and arrangements between the Parties with respect to such subject matter, whether written or oral.

 

13.11                 Counterparts; Facsimiles.  This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.  A facsimile (including a PDF image delivered via email) copy of this Agreement, including the signature pages hereto, will be deemed to be an original.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties shall deliver original execution copies of this Agreement to one another as soon as practicable following execution thereof.
