Common use of Target Reservation Clause in Contracts

Target Reservation. (a) From the date a Nominated Target is confirmed and accepted up to and including the day that is [**Redacted**] days after the Effective Date (the “Reservation Period”), Santaris will not grant to any Third Party any rights to such Nominated Target, or otherwise enter into any agreement or arrangement that would prevent Santaris from granting exclusive rights to any such Nominated Target to Enzon. On or prior to the last day of the Reservation Period, Enzon shall designate six (6) Targets for generation and delivery of LNA Compounds (the “Additional Targets”) and shall make the payment referred to in Section 7.2. Such Additional Targets may be selected from the confirmed and accepted Nominated Targets or from any other Targets; provided that such other Targets are not opposed by Santaris in writing within three (3) Business Days after such designation as a result of a Conflict; and provided, further, however, Santaris will be free to grant to Third Parties rights to any Target other than the [**Redacted**] confirmed and accepted Nominated Targets during the Reservation Period. (b) Enzon shall only designate Additional Targets for which it has conducted a worldwide analysis of the intellectual property relating to the freedom to operate with respect to such Additional Target and for which, in Enzon’s sole discretion, such analysis reflects that there exists an acceptable freedom to operate that is not disproportionately adverse in the Santaris Territory as compared to the Enzon Territory. Enzon shall also disclose to Santaris a summary of the results of such analysis. Santaris hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) such analysis will be provided only for Santaris’s convenience and none of Santaris or its Affiliates, licensees or contractors shall be entitled to rely upon such analysis for any other purpose, (ii) neither Enzon nor any of its Affiliates makes any representations or warranties as to the accuracy, completeness or sufficiency of the analysis, and (iii) neither Enzon nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability (whether in contract, in equity, in tort or otherwise) to Santaris or its Affiliates, licensees or contractors related to such analysis. Similarly, Enzon hereby acknowledges and agrees that (A) it assumes sole responsibility for designating any Additional Target, (B) neither Santaris nor any of its Affiliates makes any representations or warranties as to whether the use of any Additional Target is free of any patent or other intellectual property rights of Third Parties, and (C) neither Santaris nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability (whether in contract, in equity, in tort or otherwise) to Enzon or its Affiliates, licensees or contractors related to the use of any Additional Target. If at the end of the Reservation Period, Enzon designates an Additional Target that was not one of the Nominated Targets and as a result of a Conflict Santaris is unable to accept such Additional Target, Enzon shall have an additional fifty (50) days to designate an Additional Target that is not subject to a Conflict. After the expiration of 150 days after the Effective Date, Enzon shall have no further rights to designate Additional Targets without the consent of Santaris.
