• Sublicensing Licensee has the right to grant Sublicense Agreements under the Licensed Subject Matter consistent with the terms of the Agreement, subject to the following: (a) A Sublicense Agreement shall not exceed the scope and rights granted to Licensee hereunder. Sublicensee must agree in writing to be bound by the applicable terms and conditions of the Agreement and shall indicate that Licensor is a third party beneficiary of the Sublicense Agreement. In the event of termination of this Agreement, continued sublicense rights shall be governed by Section 7.5(a) (Effect of Termination). Licensee has no right to grant a Sublicensee the right to grant further sub-Sublicense Agreements. (b) Licensee shall deliver to Licensor a true, complete, and correct copy of each Sublicense Agreement granted by Licensee, Affiliate or Sublicensee, and any modification or termination thereof, within thirty (30) days following the applicable execution, modification, or termination of such Sublicense Agreement. All Sublicense Agreements will be in English. (c) Notwithstanding any such Sublicense Agreement, Licensee will remain primarily liable to Licensor for all of the Licensee’s duties and obligations contained in the Agreement, including without limitation the payment of running royalties due under Section 3.2 whether or not paid to Licensee by a Sublicensee. Any act or omission of a Sublicensee that would be a breach of the Agreement if performed by Licensee will be deemed to be a breach by Licensee. Each Sublicense Agreement will contain a right of termination by Licensee in the event that the Sublicensee breaches the payment or reporting obligations affecting Licensor or any other terms and conditions of the Sublicense Agreement that would constitute a breach of the Agreement if such acts were performed by Licensee.

• Sublicense Agreements Sublicenses under this Section 2.3 shall be granted only pursuant to written agreements, which shall be subject to and consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Such Sublicense agreements shall contain, among other things, provisions to the following effect: 2.3.2.1 all provisions necessary to ensure Licensee’s ability to comply with Licensee’s obligation under or not violate the provisions of Sections 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 5.1, 5.3, 5.4, 8.1 and 11.1; 2.3.2.2 a section substantially the same as Article 9 (Indemnification), which also shall state that the Indemnitees (as defined in Section 9.1) are intended third party beneficiaries of such Sublicense agreement for the purpose of enforcing such indemnification; 2.3.2.3 in the event of termination of the license set forth in Section 2.1.1 above (in whole or in part (e.g., termination of the license as to a Licensed Product or in a particular country)), any existing Sublicense shall terminate to the extent of such terminated license; provided, however, that, for each Sublicensee, upon termination of the license, if the Sublicensee is not then in breach of the Sublicense agreement such that Licensee would have the right to terminate such Sublicense agreement, such Sublicensee shall have the right to obtain a license from Harvard on the same terms and conditions as set forth herein, which shall not impose any representations, warranties, obligations or liabilities on Harvard that are not included in this Agreement, provided that (a) the scope of the license granted directly by Harvard to such Sublicensee shall be coextensive with the scope of the license granted by Licensee to such Sublicensee, (b) if the Sublicense granted to such Sublicensee was non-exclusive, such Sublicensee shall not have the right to participate in the prosecution or enforcement of the Patent Rights under the license granted to it directly by Harvard and (c) if there are more than one Sublicensee, each Sublicensee that is granted a direct license shall be responsible for a pro rata share of the reimbursement due under Section 6.2.3 of this Agreement (based on the number of direct licenses under the Patent Rights in effect on the date of reimbursement); 2.3.2.4 the Sublicensee shall only be entitled to sublicense its rights under such Sublicense agreement on the terms set forth in this Section 2.3; and 2.3.2.5 the Sublicensee shall not be entitled to assign the Sublicense agreement without the prior written consent of Harvard, except that Sublicensee may assign the Sublicense agreement to a successor in connection with the merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or that portion of its business to which the Sublicense agreement relates; provided, however, that any permitted assignee agrees in writing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Harvard to be bound by the terms of such Sublicense agreement.

• Sublicenses (a) Licensee may sublicense the license and rights granted to Licensee under Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 (as applicable) to (a) its Affiliates and (b) Third Parties in connection with the operation of the business of Licensee or its Affiliates, but not for the independent use of any such Third Party, including distributors that need to practice the applicable Intellectual Property to provide ordinary course distribution services to Licensee and its Affiliates; provided that, with respect to the SpecCo Licensed Standards, sublicensing to such Third Parties shall be solely for such Third Parties to provide services to the Materials Science Business in the ordinary course at any or all Licensed Facilities (but not for the independent use of such Third Party), and (c) with the prior written consent of Licensor, other Third Parties (each such Affiliate or Third Party, or subcontractor granted a sublicense under Section 2.3, a “Sublicensee”). (b) Each sublicense granted by a Licensee under the license granted to such Licensee in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 shall be granted pursuant to an agreement that (i) is subject to, and consistent with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and includes provisions at least as protective of Licensor and its Affiliates as the provisions of this Agreement (except that such sublicense shall not be required to provide rights for Licensor to audit Sublicensee in accordance with, and subject to, Section 2.13 (1) if the sublicense is granted to an Affiliate, (2) with respect to sublicenses of Licensed Know-How, Licensed Copyrights or Business Software where the primary purpose of such arrangement with sublicensee is not to grant access to such Licensed Know-How, Licensed Copyrights or Business Software or (3) with respect to sublicenses of the licenses granted under Section 2.6), (ii) to the extent with respect to Licensed Patents or SpecCo Licensed Standards and if Sublicensee is a Third Party, provides that Licensor shall be an intended beneficiary thereunder with the right of direct enforcement against the Sublicensee (including, for clarity, with respect to the audit rights set forth in Section 2.13 to the extent applicable), and (iii) to the extent with respect to Licensed Patents or SpecCo Licensed Standards, is in writing if the Sublicensee is a Third Party. For clarity, granting a sublicense shall not relieve Licensee of any obligations hereunder and Licensee shall cause each of its Sublicensees to comply, and shall remain responsible for its Sublicensees’ compliance, with the terms hereof applicable to Licensee.

• Sublicensing Rights (a) The license(s) granted to Intellia in Section 2.1 and to Caribou in Section 2.2 may be sublicensed, in full or in part, by Intellia and Caribou, respectively, (each, the “Sublicensing Party”) by a written agreement to its Affiliates and Third Parties (with the further right to sublicense [***] provided that the following shall likewise apply with respect to sublicenses granted by a Sublicensee), provided, that: (i) the Sublicensing Party will provide to the other Party a copy of any sublicense agreement with a Sublicensee within [***] days of execution thereof, which sublicense agreement may be redacted as necessary to protect commercially sensitive information to the extent such information is not reasonably necessary to determine compliance with this Agreement or to determine the rights granted under any of the Caribou IP or Intellia IP, as applicable (together with an accurate English translation of such sublicense, if applicable) provided that if such agreement is with a Related Party the Sublicensing Party shall provide an unredacted copy thereof; (ii) the Sublicensing Party will be responsible for any and all obligations of such Sublicensee as if such Sublicensee were “Intellia” or “Caribou”, as applicable, hereunder; (iii) any such Sublicensee will agree in writing to be bound by identical obligations as the Sublicensing Party hereunder with respect to the activities of such Sublicensee hereunder; (iv) to the extent that the Sublicensing Party or any Sublicensee grants a sublicense under any intellectual property subject to a Caribou In-License or Intellia Included In-License, as applicable, such sublicense (and such further sublicensee) will be subject to the terms of such Caribou In-License or Intellia Included In-License, including such sublicensee’s compliance with the Required In-License Provisions [***].

• Sublicense SONY shall be permitted to sublicense the rights ---------- granted in Section 2.1 only to: (a) wholly-owned subsidiaries of SONY; provided that SONY shall promptly notify LEXAR in writing of sublicenses granted to subsidiaries and SONY shall acknowledge responsibility for such subsidiary's compliance with the terms of this Lexar Technology License Agreement; and (b) any parties for the manufacture, use, offer for sale, import and sale of Host Devices and any components of Host Devices, provided that such third parties shall only be sublicensed under LEXAR Intellectual Property Rights for that portion of a Host Device or of any component of a Host Device that communicates directly with a Licensed Memory Stick. SONY's sublicense rights under this Section 2.2(b) shall be contingent upon SONY entering into a written agreement with each sublicensee in the form of Exhibit C. SONY will provide LEXAR with a copy of each such --------- sublicense agreement immediately after execution thereof. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as permitting SONY to reveal LEXAR Confidential Information, as such term is defined in Section 6, to sublicensees under this Section 2.2(b). In the event that SONY determines that the Memory Stick Specification contains LEXAR Confidential Information, LEXAR and SONY agree to negotiate in good faith additional specific provisions to the form sublicensee agreement to sufficiently protect LEXAR's Confidential Information. LEXAR and SONY acknowledge that in the course of these negotiations, the parties' mutual interest in making the Host Device manufacturing license available as broadly as possible should be weighed against the importance of protecting LEXAR's Confidential Information. Sublicensees under this Section 2.2 shall not have the right to sublicense the rights granted under this agreement. * Material has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission.

• Sublicense Rights Licensee shall not have the right to grant sublicenses under the licenses granted to it under Section 2.1(a) (Development and Commercialization License to Licensee) and Section 6.3(d) (Use of Coherus Trademark), without the prior written consent of Coherus, which consent may be withheld [***], except with respect to [***], in which case [***]. For the avoidance of doubt, it shall be [***] with respect to [***]. If Coherus consents in writing to allow Licensee to grant a sublicense, then Licensee may grant such sublicense, through [***], subject to the following: (a) each Sublicensee shall agree to be bound by all of the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement; (b) the terms of each sublicense granted by Licensee shall provide that the Sublicensee shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (c) Licensee’s grant of any sublicense shall not relieve Licensee from any of its obligations under this Agreement; (d) Licensee shall be liable for any breach of a sublicense by a Sublicensee to the extent that such breach would constitute a breach of this Agreement, and any breach of the sublicense by such Sublicensee shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement by Licensee to the extent that such breach would constitute a breach of this Agreement as if Licensee had committed such breach; provided, however, that in each instance of any breach, Licensee and/or Sublicensee shall have the right to cure any such breach pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; and (e) Licensee will notify Coherus of the identity of any Sublicensee, and the territory in which it has granted such sublicense, promptly after entering into any sublicense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for clarity, Licensee shall not have the right to grant sublicenses under Section 2.1 (License Grants) to any Third Party to Manufacture Products or to conduct Process Development.
