IP Licenses For the purpose of enabling Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 6.1 (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, convey, transfer or grant options to purchase any Collateral) at such time as Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), including in such license the right to sublicense, use and practice any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor and access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all Software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof and (ii) an irrevocable license (without payment of rent or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, operate and occupy all real Property owned, operated, leased, subleased or otherwise occupied by such Grantor.
Third Party Licenses If (a) in the opinion of outside patent counsel to Licensee, Licensee, or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees, cannot Exploit a Licensed Product in a country in the Territory without infringing one or more Patents that have issued to a Third Party in such country, or (b) as a result of any claim made against a Party, or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees, alleging that the Exploitation of a Licensed Product infringes or misappropriates any Patent or any other intellectual property right of a Third Party in a country in the Territory, a judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal is taken within the time permitted for appeal, such that Licensee cannot Exploit such Licensed Product in such country without infringing the Patent or other proprietary rights of such Third Party, then, in either case, Licensee shall have the first right, but not the obligation to negotiate and to obtain a license from such Third Party as necessary for the Exploitation of any Licensed Product hereunder in such country; provided, however, that NovaDel shall have the sole right to seek any such license with respect to the Licensed Process and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such a license in its own name from such Third Party in such country, under which NovaDel shall, to the extent permissible under such license, grant a sublicense to Licensee as necessary for Licensee, and any of its Affiliates and Sublicensees, to Exploit the Licensed Product as provided hereunder in such country. Licensee shall be solely responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of all royalty and other obligations with respect to the Exploitation of the Licensed Product; provided, however, that Licensee shall have the right to credit fifty percent (50%) any royalties paid by Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees under such license with respect to such country against the royalty payments to be paid by Licensee to NovaDel with respect to the sale of the Licensed Product(s) under Section 4.1; provided, however, that no royalty payment when due, regardless of the amount or number of credits available to Licensee in accordance with this Agreement, shall be reduced by more than fifty percent (50%) of the amounts otherwise owed pursuant to Section 4.1 in any calendar quarter. Credits not exhausted in any calendar quarter may be carried into future calendar quarters.
In-Licenses Each Party will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maintain Control of all Patents, and Know-How licensed to such Party under the In-Licenses to which such Party is the contracting party. Each Party will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts not to materially breach or be in material default under any of its obligations under any In-License to which such Party is the contracting party that would be necessary or useful for the other Party to Research, Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize any Antibody Candidates or Licensed Products in the Field in such Party’s Territory pursuant to this Agreement. Each Party will not terminate any In-License to which such Party is the contracting party in a manner that would terminate rights that are sublicensed to the other Party. In the event that a Party receives notice of an alleged breach by such Party under an In-License to which it is a party and for which termination of such In-License is being sought by the counterparty, then such Party will promptly, but in no event less than [***] thereafter, provide written notice thereof to the other Party and grant the other Party the right (but not the obligation) to cure such alleged breach. In the event that a Party intends to materially amend an In-License to which it is a party, then such Party will promptly, but in no event less than [***] before, provide written notice thereof to the other Party and grant the other Party the right (but not the obligation), acting reasonably, to reject any amendment that would either increase the receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement, including any financial obligations or decrease the receiving Party’s rights under this Agreement. CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT WERE OMITTED AND REPLACED WITH “[***]”. A COMPLETE VERSION OF THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION REQUESTING CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 406 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
Research Licenses (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party hereby grants to the other Party and its Affiliates, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, revocable, limited license to use, during the term of this Agreement, the Independent Technology of the owner Party, solely to permit the other Party’s (by itself and/or through its Affiliates’) performance of research and development activities in connection with the execution and implementation of any Development Program under this Agreement and/or to pursue by itself, with no third Person (not including Affiliates) involvement, independent, internal research and development initiatives outside the scope of this Agreement. In the event that a Party’s and/or its Affiliates’ (“Licensor Party”) Independent Technology is used under the license granted in this Section 7.3 (a) by the other Party and/or its Affiliates (“Licensee Party”) to pursue independent research and development initiatives outside the scope of this Agreement and such initiatives result in the creation or development of any Invention and/or Technology, the Licensee Party hereby grants and agrees to grant to the Licensor Party, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license under such Invention and/or Technology, as well as any Intellectual Property Rights derived from such Invention and/or Technology.
Inbound Licenses Except as disclosed on the Schedule, Borrower is not a party to, nor is bound by, any license or other agreement that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security interest in Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement or any other property.
Intellectual Property Licenses Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the TSA, and except as otherwise provided in Section 5.13 of the SPA, it shall be the responsibility of the Receiving Party (at the Receiving Party’s sole cost and expense) to obtain all licenses associated with the use of third party intellectual property, including but not limited to copyrights (e.g., software), trademarks and patents (and/or consents and extensions relating to such licenses), if any, necessary for the provision of Services to the Receiving Party during the Term. The Service Provider agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Receiving Party in its negotiations with any licensors from whom the Receiving Party may require such a license (or consent or extension) during the Term. In the event the Receiving Party is unable to obtain a necessary license, consent or extension, the Services related to such license shall be removed from the scope of the TSA, without a reduction in fees or payments owed by the Receiving Party under the TSA. In all events, and in addition to (and not in limitation of) any similar rights that the Service Provider may have under the TSA, the Receiving Party shall indemnify, defend and hold the Service Provider harmless from and against any actions, liabilities and/or claims relating to the licenses and the license matters discussed in this provision. The Receiving Party’s obligation to pay any fees under this Section 1.5 shall apply whether or not such claims for fees arise from the Receiving Party’s continued or past access to or benefit from third party intellectual property. The Receiving Party also acknowledges the Service Provider’s right to initiate discussion with third party licensors that may involve the Receiving Party’s use of intellectual property. All negotiated agreements with third party licensors for the future use of or rights to intellectual property and associated services shall be at the cost of the Service Provider, provided that the Receiving Party shall bear the cost of incremental third party use fees which are specifically identified in the agreements with the third party licensors and which relate solely to the Receiving Party’s use (“Incremental License Fees”). Such Incremental License Fees shall be approved in advance in writing by the Receiving Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Outbound Licenses Part 2.7(d) of the Disclosure Schedule accurately identifies each Contract pursuant to which any Person has been granted any license under, or otherwise has received or acquired any right (whether or not currently exercisable) or interest in, any Seller IP. The Seller is not bound by, and no Seller IP is subject to, any Contract containing any covenant or other provision that in any way limits or restricts the ability of the Seller to use, exploit, assert, or enforce any Seller IP anywhere in the world.
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.
