Common use of Enzon Right to Submit Targets; Target Submissions Clause in Contracts

Enzon Right to Submit Targets; Target Submissions. (a) Within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date, Enzon shall nominate in writing to Santaris [**Redacted**] Targets (“Nominated Targets”) for the Discovery Program and provide the Target Submission Materials specified in clause (a) of the definition thereof for each such Target and confirm that Enzon is not a party to any contract that would prevent either Party from exercising any of the rights granted hereunder with respect to such Target. Within three (3) Business Days after such submission, Santaris shall notify Enzon in writing if Santaris opposes the nomination of any of the Nominated Targets on grounds that such Nominated Target is subject to a previously existing active Santaris internal research program or a previously existing written agreement with a Third Party that would prevent Santaris from granting rights thereto (in each case, a “Conflict”). If Santaris does not so notify Enzon that there is a Conflict with any of the Nominated Targets within such three (3) Business Day period, then each Nominated Target shall be deemed to be confirmed and accepted by Santaris. If Santaris does so notify Enzon that there is a Conflict with any such Nominated Target within such three (3) Business Day period, then such opposed Nominated Target shall be replaced by a new Nominated Target designated by Enzon in writing to Santaris within five (5) Business Days after notice of such Conflict (or within five (5) Business Days after the confirmation by an independent law firm of such Conflict as described below). Within three (3) Business Days after the designation of any replacement Nominated Target, Santaris shall notify Enzon in writing if Santaris opposes the nomination of such replacement Nominated Target on the grounds that a Conflict exists, and the procedures of the two immediately preceding sentences shall apply with respect to such replacement Nominated Target. Such procedures shall continue to apply until there are [**Redacted**] accepted and confirmed Nominated Targets. Promptly after acceptance and confirmation of each Nominated Target, Enzon shall provide to Santaris the applicable Target Submission Materials that were not previously provided. (b) Enzon shall have the right to request that an independent U.S. law firm selected by Enzon and reasonably acceptable to Santaris confirm the existence of the Conflict. Such law firm shall not have any current or prior representation of either Party. The Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to engage such law firm within three (3) Business Days after such request. Such request must be made by Enzon in writing to Santaris within three (3) Business Days after notice by Santaris to Enzon of such Conflict. Santaris shall provide as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than the five (5) Business Days) to such law firm such records and documentation as may reasonably be required for such law firm to confirm that an appropriate basis for the Conflict exists. Such law firm shall make its determination as to whether a Conflict exists as promptly as practicable after the receipt of such records and documentation. If such law firm determines that no Conflict exists, then such Nominated Target shall be deemed confirmed and accepted by Santaris. The determination of such law firm shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties. The fees of such law firm shall be borne equally by the Parties.
