(d) Permitted Modifications to Supply Forecasts. Projections for months [ * ] ([ * ]) through [ * ] ([ * ]) of each rolling Supply Forecast and each month thereafter shall be made in good faith and shall constitute Ferrer’s best estimates of future orders but shall not be binding on Ferrer or Alexza, provided that the Supply Forecast for the calendar month entering the then-applicable binding purchase period (ie., the [ * ]month or otherwise agreed final month of a binding period pursuant to Section 5.10(c)) may vary from the Supply Forecast made for that calendar month when it was the [ * ] (or otherwise agreed final month of a binding period pursuant Section 5.10(c)(ii)) calendar month in a preceding Supply Forecast by an amount that does not exceed [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) of the forecasted quantity for that calendar month.

Prior to [ * ] of the year of [ * ] anniversary of the First Commercial Sale, and before [ * ] of each year thereafter, Ferrer will estimate the “Preliminary Transfer Price” that shall apply for invoicing purposes by Alexza with respect to purchase orders by Ferrer during the immediately following year based upon [ * ]% of the projected weighted average of the net selling prices of the Product across the different countries in the Territory. The proposed “Preliminary Transfer Price” and its method of calculation shall be sent to Alexza no later than [ * ] of each year for Alexza’s review and agreement before [ * ] of each given year. Such “Preliminary Transfer Price” will be applicable during the immediately following calendar year.

(c) Alexza may adjust the Transfer Price set forth in Section 7.4(b) above in the event that increases in component costs or Drug contained in the Product increase by more than [ * ]% in the aggregate during any [ * ]-month period, in which event Alexza shall provide documentary evidence of such price increases and the Transfer Price shall be subject to increase by the amount of such increase in component costs or Drug beginning with the next applicable pricing period following notification of the Transfer Price increase pursuant to this Section 7.4(c). Adjustments of Transfer Price according to the above shall represent no more than [ * ]% of Transfer Price and could take place no more than once annually.

(d) As provided under Section 5.8, the Parties have agreed that Ferrer shall be responsible for any costs and expenses of required testing for release, packaging, and labeling of the final completed Product for use or sale in the Territory. As of the Effective Date, Alexza has established a relationship with [ * ], located in [ * ], for handling quality testing and release of the Product for the purposes of the MAA that will be submitted to the EMA, and Alexza has duly informed Ferrer about the proposed costs of these services.

conceived, reduced to practice or generated solely by one or more of its employees or agents or its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees or other Persons acting under its authority in the course of or as a result of this Agreement. Inventorship shall be determined in accordance with the U.S. patent law. Subject to the rights and licenses granted under this Agreement, Alexza can use, and grant licenses to use, any Alexza Technology without Ferrer’s consent and has no duty to account to Ferrer for such use or license, and Ferrer hereby waives any right it may have under the laws of any country to require any such consent or accounting. Ferrer further agrees that it will not file any Patents related to the Product during the Term. To the extent that Ferrer develops any Know-How related to the Product during the Term, it hereby grants to Alexza a non-exclusive, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to such Know-How.

9.2 Patent Prosecution and Maintenance. Alexza shall be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of all Alexza Patents, [ * ]. Alexza shall keep Ferrer informed in a timely manner, but not less frequently than once per [ * ], of progress with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of Alexza Patents in the Territory. Alexza shall consider and adopt in good faith the requests and suggestions of Ferrer with respect to strategies for filing and prosecuting Alexza Patents in the Territory.

9.3 Infringement by Third Parties. In the event that Ferrer becomes aware of any infringement or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any Alexza Patents in the Territory, it will notify Alexza in writing to that effect. Any such notice shall include evidence to support an allegation of infringement or threatened infringement by such Third Party. Alexza shall have the sole right to bring and control any action or proceeding with respect to infringement of any Alexza Patent worldwide, at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice. Ferrer shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice, and Alexza and its counsel shall reasonably cooperate with Ferrer and its counsel in strategizing, preparing and presenting any such action or proceeding. Except as otherwise agreed to by the Parties as part of a cost-sharing arrangement, any recovery or damages realized as a result of such action or proceeding shall be used first to reimburse the Parties’ documented out-of-pocket legal expenses relating to the action or proceeding, and any remaining damages relating to the Product (including without limitation, lost sales or lost profits with respect to the Product) shall be retained by Alexza. In the event Alexza brings an infringement action in accordance with this Section 9.3, Ferrer shall cooperate fully, including, if required to bring such action, the furnishing of a power of attorney or being named as a party to such action.

9.4 Infringement of Third Party Rights.

9.5 Patent Term Extensions. The Parties shall discuss and recommend for which, if any, of the Patents within the Alexza Patents Alexza should seek Patent Term Extensions in the Territory. Alexza shall have the final decision-making authority with respect to applying for any such Patent Term Extensions in the Territory, and shall act with reasonable promptness in light of the development stage of the Product to apply for any such Patent Term Extensions, where it so elects; provided, however, that if in a particular country or jurisdiction in the Territory only one such Patent can obtain a Patent Term Extension, then the Parties shall consult in good faith to determine which such Patent should be the subject of efforts to obtain a Patent Term Extension, and in any event Ferrer’s decision on such matter shall control in the case of a disagreement. Ferrer shall cooperate fully with Alexza in making such filings or actions, for example and without limitation, making available all required regulatory data and information and executing any required authorizations to apply for such Patent Term Extension. All expenses incurred in connection with activities of each Party with respect to the Patent(s) for which Alexza seeks Patent Term Extensions pursuant to this Section 9.5 shall be entirely borne by such Party.

9.6 Trademarks. The Product shall be sold in the Territory under the Alexza Trademark Adasuve™ unless such Alexza Trademark is determined to be unacceptable to the Regulatory Authority in the Territory, in which event Alexza and Ferrer shall determine and use an alternative Alexza Trademark. If such alternative Alexza Trademark is determined to be unacceptable to the Regulatory Authority in the Territory, then Ferrer shall select a new Trademark registered and owned by Ferrer. Ferrer shall prominently display on the Product sold in the Territory the Alexza Trademarks Staccato and Adasuve or alternative Alexza Trademark, as applicable. Alexza shall register and maintain Alexza’s Trademarks at its own cost in the countries in the Territory in which such Alexza Trademarks are currently filed. In all other countries in the Territory, the Parties shall agree on where the Alexza Trademark shall be registered and Alexza shall register and be responsible for the costs of up to [ * ] ([ * ]) additional mutually agreed countries in the Territory for further registration of Alexza Trademarks. Ferrer shall register and own Ferrer Trademarks in the Territory, and Alexza shall provide all reasonable assistance required by Ferrer in connection therewith. Alexza will have the right to use the Alexza and Staccato trademarks and any Ferrer Trademark used with the Product only in connection with Alexza’s international commercial or scientific activities directly related to the Product outside the Territory. In any event, Alexza shall be able to use any Alexza Trademark other than Adasuve, or the alternative Alexza Trademark if used for the Product in the Territory, for any other product for any purpose, and shall use the Alexza Trademark Adasuve for sale of the Product outside of the Territory unless such Alexza Trademark is determined to be unacceptable to the Regulatory Authority in the Territory. Ferrer shall use Alexza Trademarks only in accordance with Alexza’s written guidelines therefor to ensure the integrity and quality of the Alexza Trademarks, and shall not use such Alexza Trademark in connection with the using, promotion, marketing, distributing, selling or offering

ARTICLE 11

INDEMNIFICATION; INSURANCE

11.1 Indemnification of Alexza. Ferrer shall indemnify and hold harmless each of Alexza and its Affiliates, and the directors, officers, stockholders and employees of such entities and the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “Alexza Indemnitees”), from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of litigation) (“Losses”) from any claims, actions, suits or proceedings brought by a Third Party (a “Third Party Claim”) incurred by any Alexza Indemnitee, arising from, or occurring as a result of (a) gross negligence or willful misconduct of Ferrer, its Affiliates, Sublicensees, Distributors or other subcontractors and (b) the research, development and regulatory activities relating to the Product conducted by or on behalf of Ferrer, its Affiliates or Sublicensees (other than Alexza and its Affiliates and licensees); except to the extent such Third Party Claims fall within the scope of the indemnification obligations of Alexza set forth in Section 11.2.

11.2 Indemnification of Ferrer. Alexza shall indemnify and hold harmless each of Ferrer and its Affiliates and the directors, officers, shareholders, employees and agents of such entities and the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “Ferrer Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Losses from any Third Party Claims incurred by any Ferrer Indemnitee, arising from, or occurring as a result of (a) inherent defects of the Product as delivered to Ferrer, (b) gross negligence or willful misconduct of Alexza or its Affiliates; and (c) the research, development and regulatory activities relating to the Product conducted by or on behalf of Alexza, its Affiliates, Distributors or Sublicensees (other than Ferrer and its Affiliates and licensees); except to the extent such Third Party Claims fall within the scope of the indemnification obligations of Ferrer set forth in Section 11.1.

11.3 Procedure. A Party that intends to claim indemnification under this Article 11 shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party in writing of any Third Party Claim, in respect of which the indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification. The indemnified Party shall provide the indemnifying Party with reasonable assistance, at the indemnifying Party’s expense, in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim for which indemnity is being sought. The indemnitee may participate in and monitor such defense with counsel of its own choosing at its sole expense; provided, however, the indemnitor shall have the right to assume and conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice. The indemnitor shall not settle

 

[ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

42.


any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless the settlement involves only the payment of money. So long as the indemnitor is actively defending the Claim in good faith, the indemnitee shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party. If the indemnitor does not assume and conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim as provided above, (a) the indemnitee may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim in any manner the indemnitee may deem reasonably appropriate (and the indemnitee need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the indemnitor in connection therewith), and (b) the indemnitor will remain responsible to indemnify the indemnitee as provided in this Article 11. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any action with respect to a Third Party Claim shall only relieve the indemnitor of its indemnification obligations under this Article 11 if and to the extent the indemnitor is actually prejudiced thereby.

11.4 Insurance. Each Party, at its own expense, shall maintain product liability and other appropriate insurance with an insurance carrier in an amount consistent with industry standards for a company in a similar position to such Party during the Term. Each Party shall provide the other Party with written notice at least [ * ] ([ * ]) days prior to any cancellation, non renewal or material change in the insurance described above and shall name the other Party as an additional insured with respect to such insurance. Each Party shall provide a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage to the other Party upon request. It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of either Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 12

ARTICLE 13

Effect of Expiration or Termination

13.1 Accrued Obligations. The expiration or termination of this Agreement, in whole or part, for any reason shall not release either Party from any liability which, at the time of such expiration or termination, has already accrued to such Party or which is attributable to a period prior to the effective date of such expiration or termination, nor will any expiration or termination of this Agreement preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity, with respect to breach of this Agreement. In particular, in the event this Agreement is terminated for cause by Alexza or for convenience by Ferrer after the achievement of a particular milestone event, then Ferrer shall have the obligation to make the milestone payment corresponding to such milestone event to Alexza, regardless of whether the due date of such milestone payment occurs prior to, on or after the effective date of such termination.

(ii) Each Party shall perform its outstanding non-cancellable obligations under the Development Plan that existed or accrued prior to the notice date of termination; and

(iii) All Costs and Expenses incurred from the effective date of the termination notice in winding down the development activities with respect to the Product shall be [ * ] notwithstanding that Article 4 provides otherwise; provided, however, that in no case shall [ * ] be obligated to pursue or support such activities for a period not exceeding [ * ] days after the date of notice of such termination.

(b) Inventory. Ferrer, its Affiliates, Distributors and Sublicensees shall continue, to the extent that Ferrer, its Affiliates, Distributors and Sublicensees continue to have stocks of usable Product following the termination of this Agreement, to fulfill orders received from customers for the Product in the Territory, provided that nothing in this Section 13.2(b) shall be construed as obligating Ferrer to place orders for additional Product following the termination of this Agreement.

Know-How shall occur [ * ]. Ferrer shall cooperate with such transfer, shall promptly undertake to complete the transfer and shall be responsible for [ * ] in the agreed transition plan for transfer.

13.5 Rights Upon Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code and other similar laws in any jurisdiction in the Territory or where a Party is situated (collectively, the Bankruptcy Laws), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under the Bankruptcy Laws. If a case is commenced during the Term by or against a Party under Bankruptcy Laws then, unless and until this Agreement is rejected as provided in such Bankruptcy Laws, such Party (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, a trustee) shall perform all of the obligations provided in this Agreement to be performed by such Party. If a case is commenced during the Term by or against a Party under the Bankruptcy Laws, this Agreement is rejected as provided in the Bankruptcy Laws and the other Party elects to retain its rights hereunder as provided in the Bankruptcy Laws, then the Party subject to such case under the Bankruptcy Laws (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, a Title 11 trustee), shall provide to the other Party copies of all information necessary for such other Party to prosecute, maintain and enjoy its rights under the terms of this Agreement promptly upon such other Party’s written request therefor. All rights, powers and remedies of the non-bankrupt Party as provided herein are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other rights, powers and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Laws) in the event of the commencement of a case by or against a Party under the Bankruptcy Laws. Additionally, in the event of any insolvency of Ferrer or the entry by it into any formal insolvency administration under any jurisdiction other than the laws of Spain, it is the intention of the Parties that this Agreement shall not terminate and shall continue pursuant to the principles governing insolvency proceedings under the laws of Spain. In particular, it is the intention and understanding of the Parties to this Agreement that the rights granted to the Parties under this Section 13.5 are essential to the Parties’ respective businesses and the Parties acknowledge that damages are not an adequate remedy.

13.6 Return of Confidential Information. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, except to the extent necessary or reasonably useful for a Party to exercise its rights under any license surviving such termination or expiration, each Party shall promptly return to the other Party, or delete or destroy, all relevant records and materials in such Party’s possession or control containing Confidential Information of the other Party; provided that such Party may keep one copy of such materials for archival purposes only.

without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any injunctive or provisional relief necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party pending the arbitration award. The arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive or any other type of damages not measured by a Party’s compensatory damages. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses and attorneys’ fees and an equal share of the arbitrators’ fees and any administrative fees of arbitration.

(d) Except to the extent necessary to confirm an award or as may be required by law, neither a Party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of an arbitration without the prior written consent of both Parties. In no event shall an arbitration be initiated after the date when commencement of a legal or equitable proceeding based on the dispute, controversy or claim would be barred by the applicable [ * ] statute of limitations.

(e) The Parties agree that, in the event of a dispute over the nature or quality of performance under this Agreement, neither Party may terminate this Agreement until final resolution of the dispute through arbitration or other judicial determination. The Parties further agree that any payments made pursuant to this Agreement pending resolution of the dispute shall be refunded if an arbitrator or court determines that such payments are not due.
