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.
Sublicensing Licensee shall have the right to grant sublicenses or to assign any or all of the rights granted hereunder only to an entity which has been approved in writing by CSMC (each, “Permitted Sublicensee”). Any such Permitted Sublicensee shall be subject in all respects to the provisions contained in this Agreement and Licensee will remain primarily liable to CSMC for, and shall be responsible for monitoring and enforcing, performance of all of Licensee’s obligations hereunder by any such Permitted Sublicensee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as an express condition of any such sublicense, any such Permitted Sublicensee shall be required to agree in writing to be bound by commercially reasonable reporting and record keeping, indemnification and inspection provisions, and the applicable provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, those pertaining to the use of CSMC’s name and marks, indemnification of CSMC and the use of CSMC’s Confidential Information. Permitted Sublicensees may not further sublicense without CSMC’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Licensee shall promptly forward to CSMC a copy of any and all fully executed sublicense agreements, any subsequent amendments, and all copies of Permitted Sublicensees’ profit sharing or royalty reports, in no event more than thirty (30) days following execution or receipt thereof, as applicable. Licensee shall also keep CSMC reasonably informed with respect to the progress of any relations entered into with any Permitted Sublicensees. If Licensee shall conduct one or more audits of its Permitted Sublicensees hereunder during the term hereof, Licensee shall provide copies of all audit reports to CSMC on a timely basis. The covenants pertaining to the use of CSMC’s name and marks, the indemnification of CSMC and the use of CSMC’s Confidential Information in any sublicense or assignment shall run for the benefit of CSMC, who shall be expressly stated as being a third-party beneficiary thereof with respect to the covenants set forth in this Agreement. Licensee understands and agrees that none of its permitted sublicenses hereunder shall reduce in any manner any of its obligations set forth in this Agreement.

Sublicense Agreements Sublicenses shall be granted only pursuant to written agreements, which shall be subject and subordinate to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Such Sublicense agreements shall contain, among other things, provisions to the following effect:
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.
Third Party License Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 3710a(b)(1)(B), if PHS grants Collaborator an exclusive license to a CRADA Subject Invention made solely by an ICD employee or jointly with a Collaborator employee, the Government will retain the right to require Collaborator to grant to a responsible applicant a nonexclusive, partially exclusive, or exclusive sublicense to use the CRADA Subject Invention in Collaborator’s licensed field of use on terms that are reasonable under the circumstances; or, if Collaborator fails to grant a license, to grant a license itself. The exercise of these rights by the Government will only be in exceptional circumstances and only if the Government determines (i) the action is necessary to meet health or safety needs that are not reasonably satisfied by Collaborator, (ii) the action is necessary to meet requirements for public use specified by federal regulations, and such requirements are not reasonably satisfied by Collaborator; or (iii) Collaborator has failed to comply with an agreement containing provisions described in 15 U.S.C. § 3710a(c)(4)(B). The determination made by the Government under this Paragraph is subject to administrative appeal and judicial review under 35 U.S.C. § 203(2).
