Each Party will promptly notify the other Party if it becomes aware of any known or suspected infringement of any Licensed Patent or Joint Patent or any related declaratory judgment, opposition or similar action alleging the invalidity, unenforceability or non-infringement of any of the ARx Licensed Patents or Joint Patents in the Territory (collectively, “Infringement”).  Such notice will include the identity of the party or parties known or suspected to have infringed the Licensed Patent or Joint Patent and any available information that is relevant to such Infringement.  

BioXcel will have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring and control the enforcement and defense of the ARx Licensed Patents and the Joint Patents with respect to any Infringement resulting from a third party’s use, manufacture or sale of a Product or a product that competes with the Product in the Field of Use, or filing of an application for regulatory approval to perform those acts, in the Territory (“Product Infringement”), as BioXcel reasonably determines appropriate.  If (i) BioXcel notifies ARx that it does not intend to commence or assert any claim (including counterclaims), suit, or action (an “Action”) against such Product Infringement, or (ii) BioXcel does not institute any Action against such Product Infringement within [***] after having been made aware of such Product Infringement, then in each case of (i) and (ii), ARx shall have the right, but not the obligation, to commence such Action, at ARx’s cost and expense; provided, that, with respect to the Joint Patents, if BioXcel has a good faith belief that the institution of any Action with respect to a Joint Patent would be reasonably likely to result in a material adverse impact on the commercialization of the Product by or on behalf of BioXcel, then, BioXcel shall inform ARx of such belief and the rationale for such belief and ARx shall refrain from instituting such an Action with respect to such Joint Patent.

Each Party shall provide to the Party bringing an Action under this Section 14.6.3 (the “Enforcing Party”) with reasonable assistance in such enforcement, at such Enforcing Party’s request and expense, including joining such action as a party plaintiff if required by applicable laws to pursue such action.  The Enforcing Party shall keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts, and shall reasonably consider the other Party’s comments on any such efforts.  The non-enforcing Party shall be entitled to separate representation in such matter by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, but such Party shall at all times cooperate fully with the Enforcing Party.

The Enforcing Party shall be solely responsible for any expenses it incurs as a result of such enforcement action. If the Enforcing Party recovers monetary damages in such Action brought under this Section 14.6.3, such recovery shall be allocated first to the reimbursement of any

34


documented expenses incurred by the Parties in such enforcement action, and any remaining amounts shall be shared by the Parties as follows: [***].    

ARx will have the sole right to enforce all ARx Licensed Patents in connection with any Infringement that is not a Product Infringement, at ARx’s sole cost and expense, and shall retain all recoveries with respect thereto.

For clarity, if BioXcel is the Enforcing Party and brings an Action against a Third Party for Product Infringement, as well as Infringement of Joint Patents or any other Intellectual Property owned or controlled by BioXcel, such recoveries shall, to the extent not specifically apportioned in the award of damages in such Action, be reasonably apportioned by BioXcel amongst the ARx Licensed Patents, Joint Patents and any other applicable Intellectual Property owned or controlled by BioXcel.

14.7Use Outside of Permitted Field.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, BioXcel hereby agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, develop, have developed, use, import, offer for sale, sell, have sold, commercialize (including marketing), have commercialized and otherwise exploit (including, for clarity, for all regulatory (including filings) purposes related to the Product) the Deliverables or Product for use outside of the Permitted Field without the prior written consent of ARx.
15.Confidentiality and Publicity.  
15.1Disclosure of Confidential Information.  The Receiving Party shall retain in strict confidence all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and will protect such information against unauthorized use and disclosure to Third Parties with at least the same degree of care as the Receiving Party uses for its own similar information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. The Receiving Party shall not use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose other than as expressly permitted under this Agreement in connection with the performance of its obligations or exercise of its rights hereunder.
15.2Permitted Disclosures.

Notwithstanding Section 15.1, Receiving Party shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, if such Confidential Information:

is disclosed by BioXcel (or its Affiliates) to a Governmental Authority in order to maintain or obtain approval to Manufacture and/or market Product or Product, but such disclosure may be only to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain such authorizations;

is disclosed by the Receiving Party (or its Affiliates) to its or their employees, agent(s), consultant(s), and/or other Third Parties (upon written approval of the Disclosing Party, not to be unreasonably withheld) who have a need to know such information  in connection with the performance of obligations of the Receiving Party or the exercise of rights granted to the Receiving Party under this Agreement; provided that, such persons agree to be bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations that substantially are no less stringent than those confidentiality and non-use provisions contained in this Agreement;

35


is deemed necessary by counsel to the Receiving Party to be disclosed to such Party’s attorneys, independent accountants or financial advisors for the sole purpose of enabling such attorneys, independent accountants or financial advisors to provide advice to the Receiving Party, on the condition that such attorneys, independent accountants and financial advisors agree to be bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations that substantially are no less stringent than those confidentiality and non-use provisions contained in this Agreement; or

is disclosed by the Receiving Party with notification to Disclosing Party, to its bona fide prospective or actual licensees, investors, acquirors, or other financial or commercial partners solely for the purpose of evaluating potential investment in such Party, provided that such Third Parties agrees to be bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations that substantially are no less stringent than those confidentiality and non-use provisions contained in this Agreement.

In addition, if Receiving Party is required by judicial or administrative process or Applicable Law to disclose Confidential Information that is subject to the non-disclosure provisions of Section 15.1, such Party shall promptly inform the Disclosing Party of the disclosure that is being sought in order to provide the Disclosing Party an opportunity to challenge or limit the disclosure obligations.  Confidential Information that is disclosed by judicial or administrative process or as required by Applicable Law shall remain otherwise subject to the confidentiality and non-use provisions of Section 15.1, and the Party disclosing Confidential Information pursuant to law or court order or as required by Applicable Law shall take all steps reasonably necessary, including obtaining an order of confidentiality, to ensure the continued confidential treatment of such Confidential Information and take measures to minimize of the extent of Confidential Information disclosed.

15.3Return of Confidential Information.  Upon the written request of the Disclosing Party, the receiving Party shall immediately either return to the Disclosing Party, or destroy, all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, in accordance with the instructions of the disclosing Party, including all notes, summaries, and translations that have been made regarding such Confidential Information, and all copies of the foregoing.  In the event destruction is requested by the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall certify such destruction in writing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may retain a copy for purposes of exercising any licenses under this Agreement (including any licenses that survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement) and may archive one (1) copy of Confidential Information for purposes of demonstrating its compliance with this Agreement and for regulatory purposes, subject to confidentiality requirements of this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall not be obligated to erase Confidential Information maintained in an archived computer system back up in accordance with its security and/or disaster recovery procedures.
15.4Publicity.  Except as otherwise required by Applicable Laws or by judicial or administrative process (or as otherwise agreed to by the other Party in writing), each Party agrees not to: (i) advertise or otherwise make known to Third Parties any information regarding this Agreement (including, for clarity, the terms of this Agreement); or (ii) use or reference in any advertising, press release, interview, presentation to prospective clients, article, promotional material, or other communication, in connection with this Agreement, any company or representative name, endorsement, direct or indirect quote, code, drawing, logo, trademark, specification, or picture of the other Party without the prior written consent of such other Party,

36


which consent may be withheld at such other Party’s discretion; provided, that in the event Applicable Laws or judicial or administrative process requires such disclosure, use or reference, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party and allow such other Party a reasonable time and opportunity to oppose such process before making such disclosure, use or reference.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, BioXcel shall have the right to use ARx’s name in order to identify ARx as the manufacturer of Product as may be required by Applicable Laws or as may otherwise be reasonably necessary in connection with obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals for Product or as may otherwise be reasonably necessary in connection with marketing and sale of Product (e.g., listing ARx as the manufacturer of Product on the packaging, if required); provided that, BioXcel shall follow all reasonable instructions and guidelines of ARx in connection with the use of its name (and any other of its trademarks or trade dress as applicable), and if ARx reasonably objects to the manner in which its name (or any other of its trademarks or trade dress as applicable) is being used, BioXcel shall cease the use thereof in such manner upon written notice from ARx thereof.
16.Miscellaneous Provisions.
16.1Independent Contractor. It is expressly agreed that ARx and BioXcel are and shall remain independent contractors and that the relationship between the Parties shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency.  Neither ARx nor BioXcel shall have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, which shall be binding on the other Party, without the prior written consent of the other Party. Each Party shall bear its own costs incurred in the performance of its obligations hereunder without charge or expense to the other except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
16.2Use of Affiliates.  Each Party shall have the right to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under this Agreement either itself or through any of its Affiliates, provided that such Party shall remain solely responsible for the acts, omissions and performance of such Affiliate as if such acts, omissions and performance had been provided by such Party itself under this Agreement.  In addition, in each case where a Party’s Affiliate has an obligation pursuant to this Agreement or performs an obligation pursuant to this Agreement: (i) such Party shall cause and compel such Affiliate to perform such obligation and comply with the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) any breach of the terms or conditions of this Agreement by such Affiliate shall be deemed a breach by such Party of such terms or conditions.
16.3Force Majeure.  No Party shall be liable for a failure or delay in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement (except for the payment of money) if, but only to the extent that, such failure or delay is due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party, including: (i) acts of God; (ii) fire or explosion (except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the affected Party); (iii) unusually severe weather; (iv) war, invasion, riot or other civil unrest; (v) governmental laws, orders, restrictions, actions, embargoes, or blockages; (vi) national or regional emergency; (vii) injunctions, strikes, lockouts, labor trouble, or other industrial disturbances; (viii) pandemic or disease; and (ix) shortage of supply of non-commodity materials on a global basis (each, a “Force Majeure Event”); provided that the Party affected shall promptly notify the other of the Force Majeure Event and shall exert reasonable efforts to eliminate, cure, or overcome any such causes and to resume performance of its obligations as soon as practicable.

16.4Dispute Resolution.

Disputes.  The Parties hereby agree that the dispute between the Parties shall first be referred to a senior executive of each Party (the “Representatives”).  If any such matter has not been resolved within [***] of such referral to the Representatives either Party may invoke the provisions of Section 16.4.2 for such dispute.  No dispute resolution procedure set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as an agreement to arbitrate under any federal or state arbitration law, including but not limited to the Federal Arbitration Act, and shall not deprive a court of competent jurisdiction from resolving any dispute arising under, or related to, this Agreement.

Jurisdiction; Venue.  Any legal action or other proceeding (including arbitration) to resolve any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, in connection with or related to this Agreement or its subject matter or formation will take place in the state or federal court(s) sitting in and for the State of Delaware. Each Party expressly consents to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for the purpose of any such legal action or other proceeding. The Parties further expressly waive any defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, venue, or forum non conveniens.

Expenses.  All expenses and fees of the arbitrators and expenses for hearing facilities and other expenses of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the Parties to the dispute unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing or unless the arbitrators in the award assess such expenses against one of the Parties or allocate such expenses other than equally between the Parties to the dispute  Each of the Parties shall bear its own counsel fees and the expenses of its witnesses except (a) to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Applicable Law or (b) to the extent the arbitrators in their discretion determine for any reason to allocate such fees and expenses among the Parties in a different manner.

Injunctive Relief.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, either Party will have the right to seek injunctive relief in the state or federal courts located in the State of New York as may be available to such Party under the laws and rules applicable in such jurisdiction with respect to any matters arising out of the other Party’s performance of its obligations, or the observance of restrictions upon it, under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, either Party may pursue such relief in the event of a breach of the other Party’s obligations of confidentiality pursuant to Section 15.1, or, in the case of BioXcel, ARx’s breach of Section 3.2.

16.5Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

This Agreement shall be construed and governed under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principle of conflict of laws thereof.

16.6No Waiver.  Any Party’s failure to enforce any of the terms or conditions herein or to exercise any right or privilege pursuant hereto, or any Party’s waiver of any breach under this Agreement, shall not be construed to be a waiver of any other terms, conditions, or privileges, whether of a similar or different type.

39


16.7Assignment.  

ARx shall not assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any person or entity (including by operation of law, judicial process or otherwise) without the prior written consent of BioXcel, which consent may be withheld for any reason or without reason.  

BioXcel shall be entitled to assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any of its Affiliates (including by operation of law, judicial process or otherwise) or to any entity with which or into which BioXcel may merge or consolidate or any entity acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of BioXcel or of BioXcel’s business or operations to which this Agreement relates (whether by way of merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise), in each case, without the prior consent of ARx. Any other assignment of this Agreement by BioXcel may not be made without the prior written consent of ARx, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Any permitted assignee shall assume all obligations of its assignor under this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of an assignment to an Affiliate, the assignor Party shall remain as principal obligor for all or any obligations and liabilities assigned to such Affiliate under the terms of this Agreement.  No assignment shall relieve any Party of responsibility for the performance of any accrued obligation which such Party has hereunder as of the time of such assignment.  Any other attempted assignment of this Agreement in violation of this Section 16.7 shall be null and void.

The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

16.8Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.  The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to substitute a valid, legal, and enforceable provision that reflects the intent of such invalid or unenforceable provision
