8.7.3Tax Cooperation.  To the extent that the Party making a payment is required to deduct and withhold taxes on any payments under this Agreement, the Party making such payment shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to the payee an official tax certificate or other evidence of such withholding sufficient to enable the payee to claim such payments of taxes.  The payee shall provide any tax forms to the Party making such payment that may be reasonably necessary in order for such Party not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty.  The payee shall use reasonable efforts to provide any such tax forms to the Party making the payment at least [***] days prior to the due date for any payments for which the payee desires that the Party making the payment apply a reduced withholding rate.  Each Party shall provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Applicable Law, of withholding taxes, VAT, or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party bearing such withholding tax or VAT.
8.7.4Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) if an action (including any assignment or sublicense of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or any failure to comply with applicable Laws or filing or record retention requirements) by a Party leads to the imposition of withholding tax liability or VAT on the other Party that would not have been imposed in the absence of such action or in an increase in such liability above the liability that would have been imposed in the absence of such action, then the sum payable by that Party (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that the other Party receives a sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such action occurred; and (b) otherwise, the sum payable by that Party (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be made to the other Party after deduction of the amount required to be so deducted or withheld, which deducted or withheld amount shall be remitted in accordance with applicable law.

A Party’s Financial Records shall only be subject to one (1) audit per Calendar Year, except in the case of fraud. The Auditing Party’s right to perform an audit pertaining to any calendar year shall expire [***] years after the end of such year. Should an inspection pursuant to this Section 8.10 lead to the discovery of a payment discrepancy, then the appropriate Party shall pay to the other Party the amount of the discrepancy. If a payment discrepancy was greater than [***] or [***] of the correct amount for the audited period and the discrepancy was in favor of the Auditing Party, then the Audited Party shall pay the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket cost of such inspection. In no case shall the costs of an audit pursuant to this Section 8.10 be included in Allowable Expenses. This Section 8.10 does not apply to or include Manufacturing operations audits or regulatory inspections, or Detailing audits which matters are addressed elsewhere herein or in applicable ancillary agreements described elsewhere herein.

9.1.3The Supply Agreement, if necessary, will set forth the rights and obligations of the Parties in connection with Myovant’s supply of the Oncology Product or the Pediatric Product in their respective Fields and will address the qualification of a manufacturing facility or facilities as a second source for Manufacture of the Products (provided that, if such second source is a Third Party, subject to Myovant’s written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld) and shall contain such terms and conditions as are reasonable and customary for similar supply agreements. Promptly following the Effective Date, the Parties shall enter into a quality agreement on reasonable and customary terms in connection with the Manufacture of the Products in the Field in the Territory hereunder (the “Quality Agreement”). If the JSC agrees to add any additional Products to the
54




applicable Joint Medical Affairs and Development Plan and Budget, the Parties shall discuss as to which Party shall supply the pre-clinical, clinical and commercial supplies of such Products, subject to additional Supply Agreements and Quality Agreements, as necessary, to be entered into between the Parties.
9.1.4Manufacture by Pfizer. If Pfizer wishes to Manufacture and supply any Product in the Field in the Territory for use hereunder, Pfizer shall notify Myovant thereof through the JMC, upon which the Parties, through the JMC shall discuss the feasibility and desirability of Pfizer’s performance of some or all of such manufacture and supply activities, taking into account Myovant’s obligations under the Existing Myovant Third Party Agreements:
(a)If such Manufacture and supply relates to any Product in the Field the Co-Promotion Territory, Myovant shall have no obligation to agree to any such Manufacture and supply by Pfizer or any transfer of Manufacture process of such Product in the Field to Pfizer (and any such transfer of Manufacture process if agreed by Myovant shall be subject to Section 9.1.4(c)). If Pfizer establishes its own source of supply for Product, upon the request of Myovant, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a supply agreement in relation to any future supply of the applicable Product in the Field to Myovant, which supply agreement shall include additional terms and conditions as are reasonable and customary for similar supply agreements and such supply shall be at cost without a mark-up.
(b)If such Manufacture and supply solely relates to the Oncology Product(s) or the Pediatric Product, if Developed, in the Pfizer Territory, Pfizer shall have the right to perform such Manufacture and supply of the Oncology Product or Pediatric Product, if Developed, in their respective portion of the Field, in the Pfizer Territory, including through engaging an Existing CMO in accordance with Section 9.1.1(c). Upon Pfizer’s request, Myovant shall provide Pfizer with assistance for the transfer of the Manufacture process of the Oncology Product(s) or Pediatric Product, if Developed, to Pfizer, or its designee, subject to Section 9.1.4(c).
(c)Myovant shall be responsible for its costs of providing Pfizer any assistance for the transfer of the manufacture process of any Product in the Field to Pfizer under this Section 9.1.4, provided that, if Myovant is required to perform any activities or assistance beyond what is considered reasonable, the Parties shall agree in writing the cost to be reimbursed to Myovant for such activities or assistance prior to such costs being incurred by Myovant
9.1.5Samples. Myovant shall be the Party responsible for supplying all Samples to be used by both Parties in the Territory, unless such responsibilities have been assumed by Pfizer in accordance with Section 9.1.4 and after discussion by the JMC. Pfizer shall be responsible for all costs associated with supply and distribution of Samples of Oncology Product(s) or Pediatric Product, if Developed, for the Pfizer Territory; any Samples of Oncology Product(s) or Pediatric Product, if Developed, manufactured by Myovant for use in the Pfizer Territory shall be purchased by Pfizer at standard cost of goods therefor under the Supply Agreement.
Section 9.2Capacity and Supply.
9.2.1Supply Plans.

The JMC shall develop and recommend to the JSC options to address necessary capacity expansion, which may include Manufacturing by either or both of the Parties or a Third Party and which will take into account [***], by proposing such activities to the JSC in a capacity expansion plan. If the JSC is unable to agree with respect to a given capacity expansion plan, then such matter will be resolved as set forth in Section 2.10.3(c). Agreement on the capacity expansion plan shall not be a Myovant Controlled Matter or a Pfizer Controlled Matter, and accordingly requires consensus of the relevant representatives of the Parties.
9.2.3Shortage; Allocation. In the event that Myovant reasonably believes that it will not be able to supply requirements for the Products in the Field in accordance with the Supply Plan provided under Section 9.2.1 and otherwise as necessary to fulfill supply requirements under any applicable Joint Medical Affairs and Development Plan and Budget or Co-Promotion Commercialization Plan and Budget:

Section 14.2    Indemnification by Pfizer. Pfizer shall indemnify Myovant, its Affiliates, Excluded Affiliates, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the “Myovant Indemnitees”) and defend and save each of them harmless, from and against any and all Losses in connection with (a) any and all Third Party Claims arising from or occurring as a result of: (i) the breach by Pfizer of this Agreement; (ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Pfizer Indemnitee in performing its obligations under this Agreement; or (iii) subject to Section 11.4, the Exploitation of any Product in the Field by or on behalf of Pfizer or any of its Affiliates (but not by Myovant or any of its Affiliates) in the Territory, except, in each case ((i) through (iii)), for those Losses for which Myovant has an obligation to indemnify a Pfizer Indemnitee pursuant to Section 14.1, as to which Losses each Party shall indemnify the other to the extent of its respective liability for the Losses, and (b) the successful enforcement of Myovant’s rights under this Section 14.2; provided that if Myovant asserts against Pfizer any claim for indemnification under this Section 14.2 and it is determined pursuant to Section 17.2 that Pfizer is not to be obligated to provide such indemnification under this Section 14.2, then Myovant promptly shall reimburse Pfizer for all Losses incurred by Pfizer in defending such claim for indemnification.
Section 14.3    Losses.
14.3.1Except with respect to Losses (a) for which indemnification is provided in Section 14.1 or Section 14.2, (b) otherwise included within Allowable Expenses or (c) arising from or in connection with any employment or other similar claim brought by any employee or individual independent contractor of either Party or its Affiliates or, in the case of Myovant, Excluded Affiliates (which, for clarity, shall be the sole responsibility of such Party), any Losses arising from or incurred in connection with any Third Party Claim brought against either Party or any of its Affiliates, or, in the case of Myovant, Excluded Affiliates, arising from or occurring as a result of the Exploitation of the Products in the Field in the Co-Promotion Territory in accordance with this Agreement or any Related Agreement, including any Third Party Claims for product liability (such Losses, “Shared Losses”), shall be shared by the Parties [***]. Myovant shall be responsible for [***] of any Losses arising in connection with any Third Party Infringement Claim arising from the practice of Myovant Background IP to Exploit the Products for which Myovant is defending under Section 14.4.2 in the Co-Promotion Territory. Each Party shall give the other Party prompt written notice of any Shared Loss or discovery of fact that may reasonably be expected to give rise to a Shared Loss. Shared Losses, with respect to Pfizer, shall not include any Losses arising in connection with any Third Party Infringement Claim arising from the practice of Myovant Background IP to Exploit the Products for which Myovant is defending under Section 14.4.2 in the Co-Promotion Territory.
14.3.2Myovant shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to control the defense of any such Third Party Claim with respect to any Shared Losses, and in the event that it elects not to control the defense, Pfizer shall have the right to do so.
14.3.3The controlling Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of such Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the controlling Party; provided that it obtains the prior written consent of the non-controlling Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The non-controlling Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided that such employment shall be at the non-controlling Party’s sole cost and expense.
14.3.4With respect to each such Third Party Claim, regardless of which Party is the controlling Party, the Parties shall cooperate and consult fully with each other in strategizing, preparing, presenting and conducting the defense of such Third Party Claim and to help drive efficiencies in defense costs. The Parties shall seek in good faith to agree on all matters regarding such Third Party Claim. In case such agreement cannot be reached within an appropriate time period (recognizing that certain decisions with respect to strategizing, preparing, presenting and conducting the defense of such Third Party Claim may be time sensitive), the controlling Party shall have the final decision; provided that the controlling Party shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the non-controlling Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  The non-controlling Party shall provide the controlling Party
77




with reasonable assistance in connection with the defense of all such Third Party Claims. Neither Party shall have the right to settle any Third Party Claim under this Section 14.3.4 in a manner that diminishes the rights or interests of the other Party or imposes any liability on the other Party without the prior written consent of such other Party.
14.3.5Notwithstanding anything in Section 14.1 or Section 14.2 to the contrary, all Losses from any Third Party Claim relating to product liability in the Co-Promotion Territory (a “Product Liability Claim”) shall constitute Shared Losses unless it is ultimately determined by clear and convincing evidence pursuant to Section 17.2.2 that any such Product Liability Claim solely and directly was caused by or resulted from the actual gross negligence of, actual willful misconduct of, or actual violation of Applicable Law by, only one Party (the “At-Fault Party”) or any of its Affiliates or its or their subcontractors in performing any activity contemplated by this Agreement, or any actual breach by the At-Fault Party (or any of its Affiliates) of this Agreement or any Related Agreement, and the actions or omissions of the other Party (the “Non-Fault Party”) or any of its Affiliates or its or their subcontractors did not in any way contribute to the events and circumstances leading to such Product Liability Claim (an “At-Fault Claim”). The At-Fault Party with respect to an At-Fault Claim shall bear [***] of all Losses from such At-Fault Claim and shall reimburse the Non-Fault Party for any Losses incurred by the Non-Fault Party in connection with such At-Fault Claim (if not previously reimbursed), and if such determination is the result of an arbitration proceeding initiated by the Non-Fault Party pursuant to Section 17.2.2, then the At-Fault Party also shall reimburse the Non-Fault Party for all of the reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of arbitration) incurred by the Non-Fault Party directly in connection with such arbitration proceeding.
Section 14.4    Indemnification Procedures.
14.4.1Notice of Claim. All indemnification claims in respect of a Party and its Indemnitees shall be made solely by such Party (the “Indemnified Party”). The Indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying Party prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any Losses or discovery of fact upon which such Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under this Article XIV, but in no event shall the indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay in providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss is known at such time). The Indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses and Third Party Claims.
14.4.2Control of Defense. At its option, the indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within [***] days after the indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party or its Indemnitees in respect of such Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified Party’s or its Indemnitees’ claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of such Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the indemnifying Party; provided that it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the event the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Indemnitees in connection with such Third Party Claim. If the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, except as provided in Section 14.4.3, the indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party or any of its Indemnitees in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim unless the expenses were incurred by the Indemnified Party at the request of the indemnifying Party. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Indemnified Party or its Indemnitees from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) and any Losses incurred by the indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim.
14.4.3Right to Participate in Defense. Any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose;
78




provided that such employment shall be at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense unless (a) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying Party in advance in writing, (b) the indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party is not going to assume or failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 14.4.2 (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense) or (c) the interests of the applicable Indemnitees and the indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both Parties under Applicable Law, ethical rules or equitable principles.
14.4.4Settlement. With respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that shall not result in the applicable Indemnitee’s becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affecting the business of the applicable Indemnitee in any manner or the admission or attribution of liability by or to the Indemnified Party or any Indemnitee and as to which the indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the applicable Indemnitee hereunder, the indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate. With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 14.4.2, the indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss; provided that it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party may defend against such Third Party Claim; provided, further, that the Indemnified Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
14.4.5Cooperation. Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall and shall cause each Indemnitee to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the indemnifying Party to and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party and Indemnitees of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and making Indemnitees and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable and verifiable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall not be required to provide the tax returns or tax records of such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates (or, in the case of Myovant, Excluded Affiliates) unless and to the extent that the indemnifying Party can reasonably demonstrate that such tax returns or tax records are essential to defending a Third Party Claim.
14.4.6Special, Indirect, Consequential and Other Losses. EXCEPT IN CIRCUMSTANCES OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT BY A PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES (OR, IN RESPECT OF MYOVANT, EXCLUDED AFFILIATES), OR WITH RESPECT TO A BREACH OF Article XVI OR Article XIII, NEITHER PARTY NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES (OR, IN RESPECT OF MYOVANT, EXCLUDED AFFILIATES) SHALL BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH OF OR FAILURE TO PERFORM ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 14.4.6 LIMITS OR RESTRICTS THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF EITHER PARTY PURSUANT TO SECTION 14.1 THROUGH SECTION 14.3 WITH RESPECT TO LOSSES PAYABLE TO THIRD PARTIES ASSERTING CLAIMS SUBJECT TO SUCH RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS.
Section 14.5    Insurance. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, at their own respective expense (and not subject to cost sharing hereunder) have and maintain such types and amounts of liability insurance (or self-insurance) to cover liabilities related to its activities under this Agreement as is normal and customary in the pharmaceutical industry generally for Persons similarly situated, and shall upon request
79




provide to the other Party evidence of its insurance coverage. Such policies shall remain in effect throughout the Term and for a period of [***] years thereafter.

Neither Party shall sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of its rights under this Agreement, whether by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that (a) each Party shall always have the right, without such consent, to sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of its rights under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates, or, in the case of Myovant, through any of its Excluded Affiliates, it being agreed that such Party shall cause such assignment to terminate prior to such time, if any, as such Person ceases to be an Affiliate of such Party), or (b) each Party shall have the right, without such consent, to assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder to its successor entity or acquirer in the event of a merger, consolidation or change of control of such Party or in connection with the purchase of all or substantially all of the assets of such Party; provided, however, each of Myovant and Pfizer shall remain liable for the performance of its Affiliates and shall ensure that such Affiliate complies with the terms of this Agreement and the Related Agreements in the same manner and to the same extent as if such activity were performed directly by such Party, and any action or omission of such Affiliate shall be deemed and action or omission of such Party for all purposes of this Agreement and the Related Agreements. Any permitted assignee of all of a Party’s rights under this Agreement that has also assumed all of such Party’s obligations hereunder in writing shall, upon any such assignment and assumption, be deemed to be a Party to this Agreement as though named herein; provided, however, with respect to an assignment to an Affiliate, such assigning Party shall remain responsible and liable for the performance by such Affiliate of the rights and obligations hereunder. All validly assigned rights of a Party shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, and all validly delegated obligations of such Party shall be binding on and be enforceable against, the permitted successors and assigns of such Party. Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 18.2 shall be void. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 18.2, the terms of this Agreement may be varied, amended or modified or this Agreement may be suspended, cancelled or terminated without the consent of any assignee or delegate that is not deemed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 18.2 to have become a Party to this Agreement.
Section 18.3    Export Control. This Agreement is made subject to any restrictions concerning the export of products or technical information from the United States or other countries that may be imposed on the Parties from time to time. Each Party agrees that it shall not export, directly or indirectly, any technical information acquired from the other Party under this Agreement or any products using such technical information to a location or in a manner that at the time of export requires an export license or other governmental approval, without first obtaining the written consent to do so from the appropriate agency or other Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
Section 18.4    Independent Contractors. It is the express intention of Myovant and Pfizer that each Party and its Affiliates perform its responsibilities under this Agreement as an independent contractor of the other Party. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to create a relationship of partners, principal and agent, employer and employee or joint venturers between Myovant and Pfizer or their respective Affiliates or employees. Nothing contained in this Agreement and the Related Agreements shall be construed to create a “separate entity” or “business entity” within the meaning of the Code or the regulations thereunder and any foreign equivalents thereto. Neither Party, nor its Affiliates or employees, shall have the power or right to bind or obligate the other Party, without the other Party’s prior written consent to do so, nor shall either Party or its Affiliates or employees hold itself out as having such authority except as otherwise specified herein or in any Related Agreement.
Section 18.5    Delegation and Subcontracting of Obligations to Third Parties. Each Party (and its Affiliates) shall have the right to subcontract its Development, Manufacturing and Commercialization obligations under this Agreement to one (1) or more Third Parties; provided that neither Party (nor its Affiliates) may subcontract (a) the conduct of any Clinical Trial to any contract research organization except as determined by the applicable JMDRC, (b) the performance of any Commercialization activity, except as determined by the applicable JCC, or (c) any Manufacturing obligation to any Third Party manufacturer, except as determined by the JMC. The Party engaging a Third Party subcontractor shall remain responsible for the management of such subcontractor, liable for the performance of such subcontractor and shall ensure that such subcontractor complies with the terms of this Agreement and the Related Agreements in the same manner and to the same extent as if such activity were performed directly by such Party, and any action or omission of such subcontractor shall be deemed an action or omission of such Party for all purposes of this Agreement and the Related Agreements. All compensation, reimbursement of costs and other payments to be made to any such Third Party subcontractor shall be determined solely by the Party engaging such Third Party subcontractor and

such Third Party subcontractor; provided that all such arrangements shall be consistent with the applicable Joint Medical Affairs and Development Plan and Budget or Co-Promotion Commercialization Plan and Budget.

Section 18.9    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Related Agreements, together with the Schedules, Exhibits and Appendices attached hereto and thereto, set forth and constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and all prior agreements, understandings, promises, and representations, whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded hereby and thereby, including that certain Confidential Disclosure Agreement between Pfizer Inc. and Myovant Sciences Inc., effective as of August 21, 2020. Except for the Related Agreements, there are no ancillary or side agreements, whether written, oral, or otherwise. Each Party confirms that in entering into this Agreement it is not relying on any representations or warranties of the other Party, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement.
Section 18.10    Interpretation. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the following rules except as expressly otherwise provided herein and except as the context otherwise requires:
18.10.1Wherever used, the singular shall include the plural, the plural the singular, the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders and the word “or” is used in the inclusive sense (and/or). Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, unless otherwise specified, such number refers to calendar days. The captions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe, extend, or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or the intent of any provision contained in this Agreement. In the case of a defined term, any grammatical form thereof shall have a corresponding meaning. The term “including,” “include,” or “includes” as used herein shall mean including, without limiting the generality of any description preceding such term. The language of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language mutually chosen by the Parties and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either Party hereto.
18.10.2Unless specifically stated otherwise, any reference (a) to any Section, Article or Exhibit shall be references to such Section or Article of or Exhibit to this Agreement, (b) in any Section to any clause shall be a reference to such clause of such Section and (c) to any agreement, instrument, or other document in this Agreement shall refer to such agreement, instrument, or other document as originally executed or, if subsequently amended, replaced, or supplemented from time to time, as so amended, replaced, or supplemented and in effect at the relevant time of reference thereto.
18.10.3A reference to a law, ruling, agreement or other legal instrument shall include all changes, amendments or supplements to such law, agreement or other legal instrument regardless of whether such change, amendment or supplement has occurred prior to, on or after the Effective Date.
18.10.4In the event of any inconsistency between a Related Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern unless such Related Agreement specifically references a Section of this Agreement and expressly states that such Section is intended to be amended by such Related Agreement.
18.10.5This Agreement shall be written and executed in, and all other communications under or in connection with this Agreement shall be in, the English language. Any translation into any other language shall
92




not be an official version thereof, and in the event of any conflict in interpretation between the English version and such translation, the English version shall control.
Section 18.11    Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, and if the rights or obligations of either Party under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision shall be fully severable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (c) in lieu of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a valid, legal and enforceable provision that (x) achieves, to the maximum extent possible, the Parties’ original intent and commercial objectives and (y) is reasonably acceptable to the Parties. It is understood that in any case where a provision is void or unenforceable only in some respects (e.g., only with respect to certain countries) such provision shall continue to be applied in all other respects. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Party hereby waives any provision of law that would render any provision hereof illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in any respect.
Section 18.12    Waivers. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver (a) shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition and (b) in any one instance shall be construed to be a waiver of such term or provision or any other term or provision in any other instance. All rights, remedies, undertakings and obligations contained herein shall be cumulative, and none of them shall be construed to be a limitation of any other right, remedy, undertaking or obligation.
Section 18.13    Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in Section 3.3, Article XII and Article XVI are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the other Party and that such other Party would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions, and that any breach or threatened breach of any provision of such Section or Articles may result in irreparable injury to such other Party for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of such Section or Articles, the non-breaching Party shall be authorized and entitled to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief, whether preliminary or permanent, specific performance, and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits, and other benefits arising from such breach, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which such non-breaching Party may be entitled in law or equity. Nothing in this Section 18.13 is intended, or should be construed, to limit either Party’s right to equitable relief or any other remedy for a breach of any other provision of this Agreement.
Section 18.14    Further Assurances. Each Party shall duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts and things, including the filing of such assignments, agreements, documents, and instruments, as may be necessary or as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with this Agreement or to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes hereof, or to better assure and confirm unto such other Party its rights and remedies under this Agreement.
Section 18.15    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and on a separate counterpart by each Party. Each of such counterparts shall, when executed, be deemed to be an original hereof, and all such counterparts together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same document. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or electronically transmitted signatures and such signatures shall be deemed to bind each Party hereto as if they were original signatures.
Section 18.16    No Third Party Beneficiaries. Subject to Section 10.3.4, it is acknowledged and mutually agreed that no provision of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of, or shall be enforceable by, any Third Party, including any creditor of either Party.
Section 18.17    Costs. Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution and implementation of this Agreement.
