9.3           Improvements.  Manufacturer agrees that all Improvements will be the sole and exclusive property of RADIUS and are hereby assigned to RADIUS (or its designee) without additional compensation to Manufacturer.  Manufacturer will take such steps as RADIUS may reasonably request (at RADIUS’ expense) to vest in RADIUS (or its designee) ownership of the Improvements.

 

9.4           Non-Exclusive License.  RADIUS agrees to grant to Manufacturer a non-exclusive, perpetual, fully paid-up, worldwide license, with the right to sub-license, to use Improvements that relate solely to Manufacturer Technology or the Confidential Information of Manufacturer, in the manufacture of products that do not contain an API/Drug Substance or derivative that is the subject of a Work Order under this Agreement or that use other Confidential Information of RADIUS.

 

9.5           Patent Filings.  RADIUS will have the exclusive right and option, but not the obligation, to prepare, file, prosecute, maintain and defend at its sole expense, any patents that claim and/or cover the Improvements.  If RADIUS declines to file and prosecute any patent applications, or maintain any patents, relating to Improvements, it will give Manufacturer reasonable notice to this effect and, thereafter, Manufacturer may, upon written notice to RADIUS, file and prosecute such patent applications and/or maintain such patents, in the name of RADIUS and at Manufacturer’s sole expense.

 

10.           Confidentiality.

 

10.1         Definition.  As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information”  means any scientific, technical, trade or business information which is given by one party to the other under this Agreement or any confidentiality agreement entered into in contemplation of this Agreement and which is treated by the disclosing party as confidential or proprietary, or which is developed by one party for the other under the terms of this Agreement.  The disclosing party will, to the extent practical, use reasonable efforts to label or identify as confidential, at the time of disclosure all such Confidential Information that is disclosed in writing or other tangible form.  Confidential Information of Manufacturer includes, but is not limited to, Manufacturer Technology, whether or not labeled confidential.  Confidential Information of RADIUS includes, but is not limited to, RADIUS Technology and Improvements, whether or not labeled confidential.

10.3         Public Statements.  Except to the extent required by Applicable Law or the rules of any stock exchange or listing entity, neither party will make any public statements or releases concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or use the other party’s name in any form of advertising, promotion or publicity, without obtaining the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

12.           Indemnification.

 

12.1         Indemnification by Manufacturer.  Manufacturer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless RADIUS, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each a “RADIUS Indemnitee”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and other costs of defense) (collectively, “Losses”)  in connection with any and all actions, suits, claims or demands that may be brought or instituted against any RADIUS Indemnitee by any third party based on, arising out of, or resulting from, any (a) breach by Manufacturer of its representations, warranties or covenants under this

 

15



 

Agreement, or (b) negligent act or omission or the willful misconduct of any Manufacturer Indemnitees in performing obligations under this Agreement.

 

12.2         Indemnification by RADIUS.  RADIUS will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Manufacturer, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each a “Manufacturer Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses in connection with any and all actions, suits, claims or demands that may be brought or instituted against any Manufacturer Indemnitee by any third party based on, or arising out of, or resulting from (a) the use of the Product, except to the extent that such Losses are within the scope of the indemnification obligation of Manufacturer under Section 12.1, (b) any breach by RADIUS of its representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement, or (c) any negligent act or omission or the willful misconduct of any RADIUS Indemnitees in performing obligations under this Agreement.

12.4         Settlement.  Neither party will be responsible or bound by any settlement of any claim or suit made without its prior written consent; provided, however, that the indemnified party will not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent.  If a settlement contains an absolute waiver of liability for the indemnified party, and each party has acted in compliance with the requirements of Section 12.3, then the indemnified party’s consent will be deemed given.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manufacturer will not agree to settle any claim on such terms or conditions as would impair RADIUS’ ability or right to Manufacture, market, sell or otherwise use Product, or as would impair Manufacturer’s ability, right or obligation to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

 

12.5         Limitation of Liability.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY.  THIS LIMITATION WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS LIMITATION WILL NOT APPLY TO DAMAGES RESULTING FROM BREACHES BY A PARTY OF ITS DUTY OF CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-USE IMPOSED UNDER SECTION 10 OR ITS INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS SECTION 12.
