Common use of Ambit Development Clause in Contracts

Ambit Development. 4.5.1. Except as set forth in Sections 4.3.3 and 6.4, and except as permitted under an Option License, Ambit shall have no right hereunder to optimize or otherwise develop any Cephalon Library Compounds or any other Cephalon Compounds. Ambit represents and warrants that it will optimize Cephalon Library Compounds and Licensed Compounds solely against the Ambit Targets, unless otherwise approved in writing by Cephalon. 4.5.2. Ambit shall be solely responsible for the optimization, study and commercialization of Licensed Compounds. Ambit shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to develop the Licensed Compounds, including developing at least one (1) Licensed Compound per Option License granted by Cephalon to Ambit to the point where such Licensed Compounds are suitable for IND submission. If at any time Ambit determines that it will not be able to exercise such Commercially Reasonable Efforts, it promptly shall notify Cephalon, and, without limiting Section 2.2.6, the Parties shall discuss in good faith an appropriate course of action. 4.5.3. If, at any time during the course of Ambit’s research and development activities under this Article IV, the significant activity of any Licensed Compound or any Derivative Compound is found to be significantly active against a Cephalon Target (instead of an Ambit Target), then Ambit may not continue to work on such Licensed Compound. In such case, Ambit promptly shall disclose such Licensed Compound to Cephalon, along with the results of its work. If such Licensed Compound is covered by Ambit IP or Licensed Compound IP, Ambit agrees to grant, and hereby does grant, to Cephalon an exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable and sublicenseable license under the Ambit IP and Ambit’s rights in the Licensed Compound IP for the limited purpose of developing, making, having made, using, selling, offering to sell and importing such Licensed Compound or Derivative Compound. 4.5.4. If, at any time during the course of such optimization, the activity of any Licensed Compound or Derivative Compound is found to be equipotent against a Cephalon Exclusive Target and an Ambit Target, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith as to the proper manner for each Party to proceed with respect to such License Compound or Derivative Compound. If, at any time during the course of such optimization, the activity of any Licensed Compound or Derivative Compound is found to be equipotent against a Cephalon Target (which is not a Cephalon Exclusive Target) and an Ambit Target, then Ambit may continue to work on such Licensed Compound or Derivative Compound, provided that: (a) the focus of the work is to develop compounds whose activity is against the Ambit Target, and, (b) Cephalon shall have, and is hereby granted, a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-transferable right without right to grant sublicenses under the Ambit IP and Ambit’s rights in the Licensed Compound IP for the limited purpose of developing, making, having made, and using, such Licensed Compound, for its own research and development purposes only.
