• Grant of Licenses Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensor hereby grants to Yahoo, under Licensor's Intellectual Property Rights:

• Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Article at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, license or sub-license any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license by the Collateral Agent shall be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sub-license or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.

• Sublicenses Merck shall have the right to sublicense ([…***…]) any or all of the licenses granted to Merck hereunder, including in connection with the performance of tasks and obligations with respect to the Research, Development and Commercialization of Program Nanobody(ies), Compound(s) and Product(s) as Merck deems appropriate and without the prior written consent of Ablynx. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such sublicense granted to a Third Party that encompasses material Commercialization of Program Nanobody(ies), Compound(s) and Product(s) for the U.S. or any Primary Country shall require prior written notification to Ablynx. Merck shall be responsible for ensuring that the performance by any of its sublicensees hereunder that are exercising rights under a sublicense hereunder is in accordance with the applicable terms of this Agreement (to the extent applicable to sublicensees), and the grant of any such sublicense shall not relieve Merck of its obligations under this Agreement (except to the extent they are performed by any such sublicensee(s) in accordance with this Agreement). In all cases, the rights granted to any sublicensee shall be subject and subordinate to the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement. Where a sublicensee of Merck that is not an Affiliate is to perform any Research Program activities during the Research Program Term for the applicable Research Program, the grant of such a sublicense shall require the prior written consent of Ablynx (not to be unreasonably withheld), and Merck shall oversee the performance by such sublicensee of the relevant activities by the sublicensee in a manner that would be reasonably expected to result in their timely and successful completion of such activities in accordance with this Agreement, and Merck shall remain responsible and primarily and fully liable for the performance of such activities in accordance with this Agreement. Merck hereby expressly waives any requirement that Ablynx exhaust any right, power or remedy, or proceed against such sublicensee for any obligation or performance hereunder, prior to proceeding directly against Merck with respect to the sublicense. Merck shall ensure compliance with the applicable terms of this Agreement (to the extent applicable to sublicensees) by its sublicensee, including with respect to provisions on confidentiality, intellectual property ownership and compliance with Applicable Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent that Merck grants a sublicense so as to enable said sublicensee to perform Research Program activities, Merck shall ensure that its sublicensee is obligated to assign rights to any Program Know-How made by such Third Party sublicensee so that such rights can be conveyed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 7.1.

Astellas and its Affiliates may grant sublicenses through multiple tiers to Third Parties (a) whose primary business is contract manufacturing, solely for manufacturing and supplying Licensed Compound or Product to Astellas or any Related Party or (b) to a subcontractor to perform Astellas’s assigned responsibilities under this Agreement or any Research Plan, Development Plan or Co-Promotion Plan. All other sublicenses to be granted by Astellas or any Astellas Affiliate in the Joint Development Territory prior to […***…] will require prior written approval from Ambit, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that in the event such sublicense is to all of Astellas’s rights in the U.S. or the Joint Development Territory to a Person who is not an Astellas Affiliate such approval shall be at Ambit’s sole discretion. In the case of sublicenses pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence above, Astellas shall provide to Ambit, upon Ambit’ written request, a copy of all executed agreements in which rights granted by Ambit under this Agreement are sublicensed (and Astellas shall have the right to make reasonable redactions prior to providing such agreements(s)). Ambit shall treat all such sublicense agreements as Astellas’s Confidential Information. Astellas or its Affiliates may grant sublicenses (i) in the Joint Development Territory at any time after the first NDA Submission in the Joint Development Territory, provided that, with respect to each applicable Product in the U.S., the Required Exercise Date has occurred and Ambit has not exercised the Co-Promotion Option or the Co-Promotion Term has expired or terminated and (ii) outside the Joint Development Territory, in each case ((i) and (ii)) through multiple tiers of Sublicensees without Ambit’s approval.

Any sublicense granted by Astellas shall impose on the Sublicensee obligations consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, with each Sublicensee being required to comply with the obligations under this Agreement applicable to Sublicensees, and also to comply with the generally-applicable obligations of this Agreement that are appropriate for application to Sublicensees. Astellas shall ensure that all Persons to which it (or its Affiliate) grants sublicenses comply with all applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, and Astellas shall be responsible for any failure of any such Sublicensee to comply with such terms or conditions, with the further understanding that any action or omission by any such Sublicensee that, if committed by Astellas would be a breach of this Agreement (with respect to those country(ies)) in which such Sublicensee is sublicensed), will be deemed a breach by Astellas of this Agreement (with respect to those country(ies) in which such Sublicensee is sublicensed) for which Astellas is responsible. Without limiting the foregoing, no sublicense shall modify Ambit’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (including Ambit’s Co-Promotion rights). Without limiting the foregoing, any sublicense agreement shall contain the following provisions, as applicable: (i) a requirement that such Sublicensee submit applicable Net Sales or other reports consistent with those required hereunder; (ii) audit requirements similar to those set forth in this Agreement; and (iii) a requirement that such Sublicensee comply with the confidentiality provisions of Article 6 with respect to Ambit’s Confidential Information.
