If BioCancell determines within such period after reviewing the relevant documentation and performing reasonable testing that any Batch/ Product does not meet the Specifications and BI or the testing laboratory according to Section 4.1.3 agrees with BioCancell’s assessment, or if a Batch/ Product is determined by BI to be unsuitable for release (hereinafter a “Non-Conforming Batch/Product”), BI shall replace such Non-Conforming Batch/ Product with a conforming Batch/ Product, and BioCancell is required to accept such conforming Batch/ Product. BioCancell may, at its sole discretion, either (a) request that such replacement be done at BI’s cost and expense, including the costs of materials used in the manufacture of such Batch, or (b) withhold payment for the relevant Non-Conforming Batch/ Product, in which case BI shall first issue a credit note for the invoice corresponding to such Non-Conforming Batch/ Product, including the costs of materials used in the manufacture of such Batch/ Product, and later issue a new invoice at the time of delivery of the replacement Batch/ Product, or (c) provided that BioCancell has already pre-paid a certain amount for the Non-Conforming Batch/ Product to BI and BI’s replacement of such Batch/ Product as set forth in this Section 4.1.2 takes longer than [***] months from confirmation of a Non-Conforming Batch/ Product BioCancell may request from BI to refund the respective amount of BioCancell’s pre-payment. BI shall start the applicable replacement work as soon as reasonably practicable, such that the next available manufacturing slot shall be used by BI to produce the replacement Batch/ Product. In any event the production of the replacement Batch/ Product shall start within [***] months after BioCancell’s notification of the defect. After receipt of the replacement Batch/ Product, BioCancell shall destroy all defective Batch/ Product and provide BI with written confirmation of such destruction.

 

4.1.3Retesting of Samples; Dispute related to (alleged) defects

 

In the event BioCancell rejects the Batch/ Product for Obvious or Latent Defects, BI shall have the right to sample and retest the Product, which shall be done as soon as practicable. In the event of a discrepancy between BioCancell’s and BI’s test results such that one Party’s results fall within the Specifications and the other Party’s test results fall outside the Specifications, or there exists a dispute over whether such failure is due (in whole or in part) to acts or omissions of BioCancell or any third party after delivery, the Parties shall cause a testing laboratory agreeable to both Parties (original cost split 50:50) to perform comparative tests and/or analyses on samples of the alleged defective Product. The testing laboratory’s results shall be in writing and shall be final and binding save for manifest error on the face of its report. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, the costs associated with such testing and review shall be borne by the Party against whom the testing laboratory result finally rules and such Party shall reimburse to the other Party the costs advanced to the laboratory pursuant to the foregoing cost split. The testing laboratory shall be required to enter into written undertakings of confidentiality no less burdensome than set forth or referred to by this Agreement.

 

The Parties agree that during the resolution of any dispute related to an alleged defect of a Batch/ Product, BI shall, irrespective of the final allocation of the cost for the replacement of such alleged defective Batch/ Product, supply any replacement of such alleged defective Batch/ Product requested by BioCancell or credit BioCancell for such replacement Batch/ Product as appropriate in accordance with the provisions of 4.1.2.

Receiving Party shall not use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than as permitted in the preceding sentence, reproduce such Confidential Information, or disclose such Confidential Information to any third party, without prior approval of Disclosing Party. Receiving Party agrees to protect Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care as it normally exercises to protect its own proprietary information of a similar nature, but in any case using no less than a reasonable degree of care. Receiving Party shall take all appropriate steps to ensure that all of its or its Affiliated Companies’ employees and consultants receive Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only on a need to know basis, within the scope of this Agreement, and then, only if such persons are bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use substantially similar to those under this Agreement. For purposes of clarity, the Specifications shall be deemed BioCancell’s Confidential Information and proprietary to BioCancell.

 

9.2The restrictions of this Agreement regarding Confidential Information of the other Party shall not apply to such Confidential Information which: (a) was known to Receiving Party or its Affiliated Companies prior to receipt hereunder as evidenced by written records; (b) at the time of disclosure by Disclosing Party was generally available to the public, or which after disclosure hereunder becomes generally available to the public through no fault attributable to Receiving Party or its Affiliated Companies; (c) is hereafter made available to Receiving Party or its Affiliated Companies for use or disclosure by Receiving Party or its Affiliated Companies from any third party having a right do so; or (d) is independently developed by Receiving Party or its Affiliated Companies without the use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as evidenced by written records. Further, subject to Receiving Party providing Disclosing Party with reasonable advance notice (to the extent possible and permitted by law) and the opportunity to challenge, limit or seek a protective order for such disclosure, Receiving Party and/or its Affiliated Companies may make such limited disclosure as is required by mandatory law. Receiving Party shall provide Disclosing Party with reasonable assistance in any challenge undertaken by Disclosing Party.
  
9.3Subject to any right to continued use as provided herein (such as, but not limited to, license rights), upon Disclosing Party’s written request, Receiving Party agrees to, at Receiving Party’s discretion, either deliver to Disclosing Party or destroy all written materials embodying the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and/or its Affiliated Companies and all materials that constitute such Confidential Information, which are in the possession or under the control of Receiving Party or its Affiliated Companies, in each case subject to the last sentence of this Section. In the event that Receiving Party elects to destroy the materials, upon destruction of such materials, Receiving Party will issue to Disclosing Party a certificate of destruction as proof of compliance with Disclosing Party’s request. Receiving Party further agrees not to retain any copies, notes or compilations of any written materials pertaining to the Confidential Information received from Disclosing Party or its Affiliated Companies, save that Receiving Party may retain one (1) copy of documentary Confidential Information for the sole purpose of monitoring its compliance with this Agreement.

The Party required to make the submission will give reasonable advance notice to the Disclosing Party of such disclosure requirement in order to enable the Disclosing Party to comment on such submission, and shall use reasonable efforts to incorporate the Disclosing Party’s comments in order to secure a protective order or confidential treatment of any Confidential Information required to be disclosed.

 

9.5BI acknowledges that BioCancell is a public company and that BioCancell may be required to issue press releases or public announcements with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder.

11Miscellaneous

 

11.1Force Majeure
