Common use of Third Party Royalty Payments – ROW Administration Clause in Contracts

Third Party Royalty Payments – ROW Administration. As provided in Section 11.1(b), if Celgene (or its Sublicensee) is required to pay to a Third Party under any New In-License or Co-Co License or any Celgene Licensed Product In-License, any royalties for Commercialization of Licensed Product for ROW Administration, or if Celgene or its Sublicensee, in its reasonable judgment, is required to obtain a license from any Third Party under any Patent Covering Licensed Product in order to Develop or Commercialize such Licensed Product for ROW Administration, and if Celgene (or its Sublicensee) is required to pay to such Third Party under such license any royalties, and the infringement of such Patent cannot reasonably be avoided by Celgene or its Sublicensee, or if Celgene (or its Sublicensee) is required by a court of competent jurisdiction to pay royalties or lost profits to a Third Party based on a Patent as a result of the such Commercialization (and the infringement of such Patent cannot reasonably be avoided by Celgene or its Sublicensee), then the amount of Celgene’s royalty obligations under this Section 11.3 will be reduced by [***] of the amount of such royalties paid to such Third Party, provided however, that the royalties payable under Section 11.3(a) will not be reduced in any such event below [***] of the amounts set forth in Section 11.3(a) (but as may be further reduced pursuant to Section 11.3(c) or 11.3(e)) for each royalty tier. Any royalties payable under any Applicable Pre-Existing In-Licenses may not be deducted under this Section 11.3(d) from royalties owed to Bluebird. Any royalties payable under any Applicable New In-Licenses, Celgene Licensed Product In-Licenses and Co-Co Licenses may be deducted under this Section 11.3(d) from royalties owed to Bluebird. Celgene (or its Sublicensee) will use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the amount of any of the foregoing payments owed to Third Parties. Prior to Celgene or its Sublicensee exercising its reasonable judgment under this Section 11.3(d), Celgene will provide Bluebird with written notice of a potential need to obtain any license from Third Parties. The Parties will discuss the best course of action to resolve such potential license requirement(s). For clarity, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything in this CCPS Agreement to the contrary, no royalties or other amounts payable by Celgene (or its Sublicensee) to a Third Party with respect to Licensed Product for U.S. Administration may act to reduce the amount of Celgene’s royalty obligations under this Section 11.3.
