Designated Target Option Sample Clauses
Designated Target Option. From time to time during the Novartis Exclusivity Term, Licensee shall have the right, upon written notice to Alnylam, to select any Target in the Field which is not a Blocked Target for submission by Alnylam to Novartis pursuant to the terms of the Novartis Agreement (a “Submitted Target”). Alnylam shall promptly provide notice to Novartis of the Submitted Target(s) in accordance with the provisions of the Novartis Agreement, and Licensee shall cooperate with Alnylam in providing any information reasonably requested by Novartis (but not the identity of Licensee or any of Licensee’s RNAi Compounds) in order for Novartis to determine whether or not to pursue Discovery, Development and/or Commercialization activities directed to such Submitted Target. If Novartis notifies Alnylam that it wishes (as such term is used in the Novartis Agreement) to pursue Discovery, Development and/or Commercialization activities directed to such Submitted Target, then Alnylam shall so notify Licensee promptly upon Alnylam’s receipt of such notification, and such Target shall be deemed a Blocked Target for purposes of this Agreement. If Alnylam receives notice from Novartis that Novartis has no interest in pursuing Discovery, Development and/or Commercialization activities directed to such Submitted Target, or if Novartis otherwise waives its right to such Submitted Target under the terms of the Novartis Agreement, then Alnylam shall notify Licensee promptly upon Alnylam’s receipt of such notification or waiver. In such event, such rejected or waived Submitted Target shall be deemed a “Designated Target” for all purposes under this Agreement, Licensee shall be deemed to have exercised its option with respect to such Submitted Target (each, a “Designated Target Option”), and Licensee shall be free, upon [**] pursuant to Section 5.5, to Discover, Develop, Commercialize or Manufacture RNAi Compounds and RNAi Products directed to such Designated Target in accordance with the terms hereof without further risk of such Target becoming a Blocked Target.
