14.1.6In the event of any incident during the transfer process, such as loss, theft, damage, or compromise of the Material, the party identifying the issue shall notify the other within [***] upon finding out about such incident, and provide a comprehensive report detailing the incident and the corrective actions taken.

15SECURITY

 

15.1.1As security for Ionetix’s obligation to return the Material to AlfaRim in accordance with Clause 14, Ionetix will maintain sufficient funds in reserve, in the amount of [***], necessary to package and ship the Material back to AlfaRim.

 

15.1.2Ionetix hereby pledges and grants a first priority security interest in the Material to AlfaRim to secure Ionetix’s obligations to return Material to AlfaRim as required by this Agreement. This pledge and security interest is in the Material only and does not attach to other assets of Ionetix, including that it does not attach to Actinium produced from Material. AlfaRim will not file U.C.C. financing statements or deliver notices to Ionetix creditors with respect to this pledge and security interest prior to Ionetix’s breach or default under this Agreement (which breach or default, if capable of being cured, is not cured promptly within [***] of written notice). Upon (a) such an uncured breach or default or (b) if Ionetix, in its reasonable discretion, determines a Security Event has occurred or is likely to occur with respect to Ionetix, Ionetix will cooperate to support AlfaRim’s perfection of its pledge and security interest as soon as possible.

 

15.1.3AlfaRim Holding B.V. agrees to and, to the extent needed, gives it consent to establish the security interest in accordance with Clause 15.1.2 for the benefit of AlfaRim.

16CONFIDENTIALITY

 

16.1Confidentiality Obligation

 

During the Term and any renewal thereof and for a period of [***] after the end of the Term, the Parties undertake to treat as confidential the Confidential Information of the respective other Party that have been entrusted to it or of which it has become aware in connection with the Agreement, not to share them, to use them exclusively for execution of the Agreement, and not to exploit them for themselves or others even after the end of the Agreement. Each Party shall use at least the same standard of care to protect and safeguard the confidentiality of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as the receiving Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information (but no less than reasonable care). Neither Party shall use or disclose, nor permit to be used or accessed, the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than to exercise the receiving Party’s rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement.

 

16.2Exclusions

 

The obligation to keep confidential and not share Confidential Information does not apply to information that:

 

(i)is already generally known;

 

(ii)was already provided to the Party under the confidentiality obligation before the Effective Date on a non-confidential basis;

 

(iii)was made available to the Party under the confidentiality obligation by third parties on a non-confidential basis, unless this third party in turn violated a confidentiality agreement by sharing the information.

 

16.3Disclosure of Confidential Information

 

No confidentiality obligation exists to the extent that the Party under a confidentiality obligation is legally obligated to disclose Confidential Information in judicial, official, or other proceedings. If one Party believes itself to be obligated in this way, it shall inform the other Party in writing in a timely fashion before the disclosure, insofar as this is legally permissible, so the latter can prevent the disclosure through legal steps. In this notification, the obligated Party shall inform the other Party in an appropriate form, for example on the basis of a written report of a legal advisor, what confidential information must be shared. The obligated Party shall only disclose the portion of the Confidential Information that must be disclosed.

 

16.4Permitted Disclosures

 

16.4.1Notwithstanding the above, Parties are allowed to disclose Confidential Information to:

 

(i)potential or existing investors, lenders, or financial backers;

 

(ii)professional advisors, such as legal counsel, accountants, or financial consultants; or

 

(iii)potential business partners or acquirers,

 

solely for the purpose of evaluating, facilitating, or executing this Agreement, or a potential investment, financing, or acquisition, related to the Party’s business.

 

14

 

 

16.4.2Parties may issue public announcements, press releases, or other disclosures regarding the existence, purpose, or general scope of the collaboration under this Agreement, including the fact of the Parties’ relationship, the supply of the Material by AlfaRim, and the development or commercialization of Actinium by Ionetix, provided such disclosures do not include Confidential Information unless expressly permitted under this Clause 16.4.
