a. Either Party may, without prejudice to any other remedies available to it in law or equity, terminate this Agreement in the event that the other Party has materially breached or defaulted in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement. The breaching Party will have [***] after written notice thereof was provided to the breaching Party by the non-breaching Party to remedy such default. Any such termination will become effective at the end of such [***] unless the breaching Party has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of such period; or
b. Either Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon providing written notice to the other Party on or after the time that such other Party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, files an insolvency petition in bankruptcy, petitions for or acquiesces in the appointment of any receiver, trustee or similar officer to liquidate or conserve its business or any substantial part of its assets, commences under the laws of any jurisdiction any proceeding involving its insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, adjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or any other similar proceeding for the release of financially distressed debtors, or becomes a party to any proceeding or action of the type described above (each, an “Insolvency Event”), and such proceeding or action remains un- dismissed or un-stayed for a period [***].

13.3 Effects of Termination. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement (a) Incyte will promptly pay to MacroGenics (i) all amounts outstanding and remaining to be paid for the Licensed Compound Bulk Drug Substance Delivered, (ii) activities performed prior to the date of expiration or termination to conduct Manufacturing Related Activities, Manufacturing Development, Batch shipping and regulatory activities, and (iii) the applicable amounts for all work in process and Licensed Compound Bulk Drug Substance Manufactured, but not then Delivered, by MacroGenics; and (b) any Materials purchased by MacroGenics to Manufacture Licensed Compound Bulk Drug Substance in accordance with the then-current Rolling Forecast that cannot be reasonably used for other purposes, and (c) any cancelled Batches.
13.4 Accrued Obligations. Neither the termination nor expiration of this Agreement will release either of the Parties from any liability which at the time of such termination or expiration has already accrued to such Party, nor affect in any way the survival of any other right, duty or obligation of either of the Parties which is expressly stated elsewhere in this Agreement to survive such termination or such non-renewal.
13.5 Survival. The following provisions will continue in force in accordance with their respective terms notwithstanding the expiration or the termination of this Agreement for any reason: Articles 1, 10 and 12 and Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 8.10, 8.11, 13.1, 13.3, 13.4, 13.5, 14.5, 14.6, 14.7, 14.8, 14.9, 14.10, 14.11, 14.12.
14. MISCELLANEOUS
14.1 Assignment. Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that a Party may make such an assignment or transfer without the other Party’s consent to an Affiliate or to any Third Party that acquires all or substantially all of the business or assets of such Party to which this Agreement relates (whether by merger, reorganization, acquisition, sale or otherwise). Any successor or assignee of rights and/or obligations permitted hereunder will, in writing to the other Party, expressly assume performance of such rights and/or obligations. Any permitted assignment will be binding on the successors of the assigning Party. Any assignment or attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the terms of this Section 14.1 will be null, void and of no legal effect.
14.2 Relationship of the Parties. It is expressly agreed that MacroGenics, on the one hand, and Incyte, on the other hand, are independent contractors and that the relationship between the two Parties will not constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency. Neither MacroGenics nor Incyte will have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action which will be binding on the other, without the prior written consent of the other Party to do so. All individuals employed by a Party will be employees of that Party and not of the other Party and all costs and obligations incurred by reason of such employment will be for the account and expense of such Party will be null, void and of no legal effect.
14.3 Insurance. Section 14.4 of the Collaboration Agreement will govern the insurance obligations of each Party under this Agreement.
14.4 Force Majeure. Both Parties will be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by Force Majeure and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice of such Force Majeure circumstances to the other Party. Such excuse will be continued so long as the condition constituting Force Majeure continues and the nonperforming Party takes reasonable efforts to remove the condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party will not be excused from making payments owed
244242908 v3
hereunder because of a Force Majeure affecting such Party. If a Force Majeure persists [***], then the Parties will discuss in good faith the modification of the Parties’ obligations under this Agreement
244242908 v3
in order to mitigate the delays caused by such Force Majeure. In the event a Party is prevented from performing its obligations under this Agreement due to Force Majeure [***] according to this Section 14.4 the other Party will have the right to terminate this Agreement upon [***] notice after the expiration of such period. A termination under this Section 14.4 by either Party will be treated as a termination under Section 13.2(b) above and the corresponding provisions for termination under Section 13.2(b) will apply except to the extent the affected Party is prevented from performing due to the Force Majeure.
14.5 Notices. All notices and other communications given or made pursuant hereto will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given on the date delivered, if delivered personally, or on the next Business Day after being sent by reputable overnight courier (with delivery tracking provided, signature required and delivery prepaid), in each case, to the Parties at the following addresses, or on the date sent and confirmed by electronic transmission to the fax number specified below (or at such other address or fax number for a Party as will be specified by notice given in accordance with this Section 14.5):

The waiver by either Party of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party will not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by such other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by Applicable Law or otherwise available except as expressly set forth herein.
14.8 Severability.

The Parties will make good faith efforts to replace any such invalidated or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.
14.9 Governing Law/Jurisdiction. This Agreement and all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or any breach hereof will be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would require the application of the laws of a different state.

accordance with the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Article 13 of the Collaboration Agreement.
b. Notwithstanding the above, in the event of a dispute between the Parties with respect to a Batch Failure, the Parties will meet to discuss and agree upon the feasibility of the release of further Batches.

The cost of testing and evaluation by the Third Party will be borne (x) by MacroGenics if the Products in question are ultimately found to fail to meet the Product Specification as a result of MacroGenics’ failure to adhere to the applicable Manufacturing Process and/or Incyte’s instructions, or
(y) by Incyte if MacroGenics is found to have adhered to the applicable Manufacturing Process and, if applicable, Incyte’s instructions.
