rebates, charge backs, administrative fees, allowances and discounts (or equivalent thereof) actually granted to managed health care organizations, group purchasing organizations, insurers, pharmacy benefit managers (or equivalent thereof), specialty Pharmacy providers, federal, state/provincial, local or other governments, or their agencies or purchasers, reimbursers, or trade customers, in each case, with respect to Licensed Products;

actual bad debt write-off attributable directly to the sale of such Licensed Product, any reserve or financial discount created for uncollectable amounts in countries with sovereign risk, and for customers whose DSO exceeds [***]; and

coupons, or discount/rebates associated with co-pay cards, in each case, specific to Licensed Products.

All aforementioned deductions will only be allowable to the extent they are commercially reasonable, and will be determined, on a country-by-country basis, as incurred in the ordinary course of business in type and amount consistent with Xxxxxxx’x or its Affiliate’s or sublicensee’s (as the case may be) business practices consistently applied across its product lines and accounting standards and verifiable. All such discounts, allowances, credits, rebates and other deductions will be fairly and equitably allocated to Licensed Product and other products of Xxxxxxx and its Affiliates and sublicensees such that Licensed Product does not bear a disproportionate portion of such deductions.

Sales of a Licensed Product by and between Xxxxxxx and its Affiliates and sublicensees, or between the Parties (or their respective Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees) are not sales to Third Parties and will be excluded from Net Sales calculations; provided, however, that if such Licensed Product is subsequently resold to a Third-Party end user such resale shall be included in the determination of Net Sales.

Sales of Licensed Product for the use in conducting Clinical Studies or other scientific testing of Licensed Product in a country will be excluded from Net Sales calculations.

Any disposition of the Licensed Product as free samples, donations, patient assistance, test marketing programs or other similar programs or studies will be excluded from Net Sales calculations.

Compassionate use and “named patient sales” (Early Access Programs) will be excluded from Net Sales calculations.

If a Licensed Product is sold as part of a Combination Product in a country, the Parties will negotiate in good faith, at the latest [***] before the expected launch of such Combination Product, an allocation of Net Sales of such Combination Product to its components (i.e., the Licensed Compound or Licensed Product and each of the Other Components), as the case may be, based on the fair market value of such components for the purposes of determining a Licensed Product specific or licensed API specific allocated Net Sales. Payments related to such Combination Product under this Agreement, including royalty payments, will be calculated, due and payable based only on such allocated Net Sales.

Without limiting the foregoing and following negotiation, the Parties anticipate that allocated Net Sales will be calculated according to one of the following paradigms with paradigm (i) being more preferable and paradigm (iii) being used only if the information needed to use paradigm (i) or paradigm (ii) is not available:

Net Sales with respect to Combination Products for the determination of royalties and Sales Milestone Payments will be calculated by multiplying Net Sales of such Combination Product by the fraction A/(A+B) where A is the average net selling price of the Licensed Product component contained in the Combination Product, if sold separately or subject to reasonable estimation, and B is the sum of the average net selling prices of the API components included in the Combination Product, if sold separately or, if not sold separately, subject to reasonable estimation;

Net Sales with respect to Combination Products for the determination of royalties and Sales Milestone Payments will be calculated by multiplying Net Sales of such Combination Product by the fraction A/C where A is the average net selling price of the Licensed Product component in the Combination Product, if sold separately or, if not sold separately, subject to reasonable estimation, and C is the average net selling price of the entire Combination Product; or

Net Sales with respect to Combination Products for the determination of royalties and Sales Milestone Payments will be calculated by multiplying Net Sales of such Combination Product by the fraction 1/n where n is the total number of product components (i.e., Licensed Compound or Licensed Product component and Other Component(s)) included in the Combination Product.

If the Parties are unable to reach agreement regarding such allocated Net Sales prior to launch of any Combination Product, the calculation of such Licensed Product specific or licensed API specific allocated Net Sales for such Combination Product shall be determined by Xxxxxxx in its reasonable discretion based on one of the paradigms set forth in clauses (i) through (ii) above (or, only if the information needed to use paradigm (i) or paradigm (ii) is not available, based on the paradigm set forth in clause (iii)). Where the foregoing refers to “subject to reasonable estimation” such estimation shall be made by the selling Party and promptly provided to the other Party. If the other Party disagrees with such estimation or, if Xxxxxxx used paradigm (iii), on the appropriateness of which paradigm was used, it shall notify the other Party (“Component Allocation Notice”) and authorized representatives of each Party shall convene to reasonably determine the proper allocation between the applicable components. If the Parties do not agree on such allocation within [***] of the Component Allocation Notice, then [***]. For clarity, the selling Party may launch such Combination Product and use its reasonable estimation of the average net selling price of each component while such matter is being discussed and until it is resolved in accordance with this Section or Schedule 1.67.

4.4 Royalties.

4.4.1 Royalty Rates. Subject to Section 4.4.3, Xxxxxxx will pay to Licensor royalties on Annual Aggregate Net Sales of Licensed Products during each Calendar Year at the rates set forth in the table below, provided that, if Licensor exercises its Co-Funding Option, the royalty rates set forth below will not apply, and instead the royalty rates set forth in Section 4.8.2(e) will apply.


Annual Aggregate Net Sales of Licensed Products in a Calendar Year		Royalty Rate
For that portion of Annual Aggregate Net Sales of Licensed Products in such Calendar Year less than or equal to $[***]		[***]%

For that portion of Annual Aggregate Net Sales of Licensed Products in such Calendar Year greater than $[*] and less than or equal to $[*]		[***]%

For that portion of Annual Aggregate Net Sales of Licensed Products in such Calendar Year greater than $[*] and less than or equal to $[*]		[***]%

For that portion of Annual Aggregate Net Sales of Licensed Products in such Calendar Year greater than $[***]		[***]%

By way of example, if Annual Aggregate Net Sales of Licensed Products during a Calendar Year were $[***], the royalties due with respect to such Licensed Products would equal the sum of (a) [***]% of $[***] (i.e., $[***]), (b) [***]% of $[***] (i.e., $[***]) and (c) [***]% of $[***] (i.e., $[***]), for a total of $[***].

4.4.2 Royalty Term.

(a) Definition of Royalty Term. Royalties will be paid on a Licensed Product- by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis, beginning with the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in a country and ending on the latest to occur of: (a) the expiration of the last- to-expire Royalty-Bearing Claim with respect to such Licensed Product in such country; (b) the expiration of Regulatory Exclusivity for such Licensed Product in such country, if any; or (c) the [***] of the First Commercial Sale of the Licensed Product in the country (the “Royalty Term”).

(b) Definition of Royalty-Bearing Claim. “Royalty-Bearing Claim” means, with respect to a Licensed Product in a country, a Valid Claim of a Licensed Patent (including a Joint Patent, if any) in such country, which Valid Claim Covers the composition of matter of the Licensed Compound contained in such Licensed Product.

4.4.3 Royalty Reductions; Third Party Royalty Payments.

(a) Reductions for Loss of Exclusivity. On a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis during the Royalty Term for a Licensed Product in a country, Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country will be reduced by [***] percent ([***]%) for purposes of determining the royalties due to Licensor under this Section 4.4 with respect to such Licensed Product in such country, from and after the later of (i) the date that there is no Royalty-Bearing Claim with respect to such Licensed Product in such country or (ii) if any

CERTAIN IDENTIFIED INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED FROM THIS DOCUMENT BECAUSE IT IS BOTH NOT

MATERIAL AND WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM TO THE REGISTRANT

IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED, AND HAS BEEN MARKED WITH

“[***]” TO INDICATE WHERE OMISSIONS HAVE BEEN MADE.

Regulatory Exclusivity is granted with respect to such Licensed Product in such country, the date on which all such Regulatory Exclusivity expires. Such reduction will be subject to Section 4.4.3(c).

(b) Third Party Royalty Payments.

(i) Licensor will be solely responsible for and will make when due all payments due under any In-License, including any amounts that are incurred after the Execution Date.

(ii) If Xxxxxxx (or its Affiliate or sublicensee, as applicable) reasonably determines that it is necessary or reasonably useful to obtain one or more licenses or otherwise acquire rights under any Patents or Know-How of any Third Party to manufacture, use or sell a Licensed Compound or Licensed Product in a country (each, a “Third Party License”), Xxxxxxx will have the sole right (but not the obligation), subject to Section 4.4.3(b)(iii), to negotiate and obtain a license or other rights related to such Patents or Know-How with respect to the Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products. Xxxxxxx will have the right to deduct [***] percent ([***]%) of payments (including upfront payments, milestone payments, royalties or other payments, including payments made in settlement of an Infringement Claim) actually paid to such Third Party(ies) under such Third Party License(s) by Xxxxxxx (or by such Affiliate or, to the extent offset against royalties paid to Xxxxxxx, its sublicensee, as applicable) with respect to the Licensed Products in a Calendar Quarter from the royalty payments payable by Xxxxxxx to Licensor with respect to Annual Aggregate Net Sales of Licensed Products in such Calendar Quarter. Such deduction will be subject to Section 4.4.3(c).

(iii) For clarity, Xxxxxxx’x right under Section 4.4.3(b)(ii) above to negotiate and obtain Third Party Licenses does not limit Licensor’s right to negotiate and obtain, [***], any license under any Third Party intellectual property with respect to the Exploitation of any products or compounds other than Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products. If Licensor enters into a license agreement under any Third Party intellectual property that applies to such other products or compounds, where (x) the scope of the license grant under such generally applicable Third Party intellectual property includes the Exploitation of Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products and (y) such license agreement imposes any payment obligations with respect to the Exploitation of Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products, then (1) such intellectual property will automatically constitute Licensed Technology (to the extent that it satisfies the definition thereof) and (2) Licensor will [***] for such payment obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensor’s entry into any such license agreement for the sole purpose of Exploiting products or compounds other than Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products will not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

(c) Royalty Floor. In no event will the total reductions and deductions under Section 4.4.3(a) and Section 4.4.3(b) reduce the royalties payable to Licensor under Section 4.4.1 with respect to Annual Aggregate Net Sales of Licensed Products in any Calendar Quarter by more than [***] ([***]%) of the amount that would otherwise be payable if such reductions and deductions were not made; provided, however, that to the extent Xxxxxxx cannot deduct any amounts because of this Section 4.4.3(c), Xxxxxxx may deduct such amounts from royalties payable in future Calendar Quarters, in each case, subject to the limitation in this Section 4.4.3(c).

4.4.4 Expiration of Royalty Term. Upon the expiration of the Royalty Term with respect to a Licensed Product in a country, the license granted to Xxxxxxx under Section 5.1.1 with respect to such Licensed Product in such country will automatically become fully-paid, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable. For the avoidance of doubt, any sales of such Licensed Product in such country following such expiration will be excluded from Annual Aggregate Net Sales of Licensed Products for purposes of any Sales Milestone Payments under Section 4.3 or royalties under this Section 4.4.

4.4.5 Royalty Reports and Payments. After the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product by Xxxxxxx or its Affiliates or sublicensees in any country in the Territory occurs, royalty payments under this Section 4.4 are due and payable [***] after the end of each Calendar Quarter in which royalties accrue. Concurrently with the payment of royalties to Licensor under this Section 4.4, Xxxxxxx will deliver to Licensor a report setting forth, consistent with Xxxxxxx’x regional reporting system, the Net Sales of Licensed Products in such Calendar Quarter (which Net Sales occurred during the Royalty Term with respect to the applicable Licensed Product in the applicable

country), the applicable royalty rate and the amount of royalty payment due on such Net Sales. Additionally, Xxxxxxx will provide Licensor with a non-binding estimate of each royalty payment for each Calendar Quarter within [***] after the end of such Calendar Quarter. All royalty reports delivered by Xxxxxxx and all information contained therein will be Confidential Information of Xxxxxxx.

4.4.6 Royalty Conditions. All royalties due to Licensor under this Section 4.4 are subject to the following conditions: (a) only one royalty will be due with respect to the same unit of Licensed Product; and (b) no royalties will be due upon the sale or other transfer among Xxxxxxx or its Affiliates or sublicensees, but in such cases the royalty will be due and calculated upon Xxxxxxx’x or its Affiliate’s or sublicensee’s Net Sales to the first independent Third Party, and distributors of Xxxxxxx selling Licensed Product that are not otherwise sublicensees will not, for this purpose, be deemed to be sublicensees of Xxxxxxx and will instead be considered as independent Third Parties.

4.5 Payment Terms.

4.5.1 Payment Instruction. All payments to be made by a Party under this Agreement will be made in U.S. Dollars by electronic funds transfer to the bank account as will be designated by the Party receiving the payment.

4.5.2 Exchange Rate. If any amounts related to the determination of amounts to be paid or calculations to be performed under this Agreement are received, paid or initially reported in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, then such amounts will be converted to their U.S. Dollar equivalent as follows:

(a) Xxxxxxx will notify Licensor in writing of Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx’x Currency Hedge Rate for a given Calendar Year in advance of such Calendar Year, within [***] after the Currency Hedge Rate(s) are available from the GTSC or its Affiliates, which is customarily at the beginning of December of the preceding Calendar Year; and

(b) then: (i) the Currency Hedge Rate(s) as provided in the notice to Licensor will remain constant throughout the applicable Calendar Year; and (ii) Xxxxxxx will use such Currency Hedge Rate(s) to convert non-U.S. Dollar amounts to U.S. Dollars for the purpose of calculating Net Sales, royalties and the achievement of Sales Milestone Events for each Calendar Quarter in the applicable Calendar Year.

4.6 Records;

Audits.

4.6.1 Records. Each Party will keep, and cause its Affiliates and sublicensees to keep, complete and accurate records of the items underlying Net Sales, Shared Development Costs and any other elements required to prepare the reports or calculate payments required under this Agreement. Such records must be retained for a period of [***] after the relevant reporting period.

4.6.2 Audits.

(a) Each Party will have the right at its own expense to have an independent, certified public accountant of nationally recognized standing, selected by such Party and reasonably acceptable to the other Party, review any records of the other Party and its Affiliates that are required to be kept pursuant to Section 4.6.1 in the location(s) where such records are maintained by the other Party or its Affiliates upon prior written notice, during normal business hours and under obligations of confidence, for the sole purpose of verifying the basis and accuracy of payments made under this Agreement, within the prior [***] period. Audits may not be conducted by a Party under this Section 4.6.2 more than once every [***], and an audit of the records relating to a particular Calendar Year may be conducted not more than once.

(b) The report of the independent certified public accountant will be shared with the audited Party before distribution to the auditing Party so that the audited Party can provide the independent public accountant with justifying remarks for inclusion in the report before sharing the conclusions of such independent

public audit with the auditing Party. The final audit report will be shared with the auditing and audited Party at the same time and will specify whether the amounts paid to the auditing Party during the audited period were correct or, if incorrect, the amount of any underpayment or overpayment. The audit report will only contain the information relevant to support the statement as to whether the amounts due under this Agreement were calculated and paid accurately and will not include any other confidential information (or other additional information that is ordinarily not included in the reports to the auditing Party) disclosed to the auditor during the course of the audit.

(c) If the review of such records reveals that the audited Party has failed to accurately report information pursuant to the relevant provisions of this Agreement or make any payment (or portion thereof) required under this Agreement, then the underpaying Party will pay to the other Party, within [***] after receipt of the final audit report by the audited Party, any underpaid amounts due under this Agreement. If any such discrepancies resulted in an underpayment of amounts payable by the audited Party under this Agreement greater than [***]% of the amounts actually due for the applicable audit period, the audited Party will pay all reasonable costs incurred in conducting such review. If the audited Party disagrees with the findings of the audit report, the Parties will first seek to resolve the matter between themselves; in the event they fail to reach agreement, the dispute resolution provisions set forth in ARTICLE 12 will apply.

4.7 Taxes.

4.7.1 Withholding.

(a) Xxxxxxx will make all payments to Licensor under this Agreement without deduction or withholding for Taxes except to the extent that any such deduction or withholding is required by law in effect at the time of payment. The Parties shall cooperate reasonably with each other to ensure that any amounts required to be withheld by either Party are reduced in an amount to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

(b) Any Tax required to be withheld on amounts payable under this Agreement will be paid by Xxxxxxx on behalf of Licensor to the appropriate Governmental Authority, and Xxxxxxx will furnish Licensor with proof of payment of such Tax. Any such Tax required to be withheld will be an expense of and borne by Licensor. If any such Tax is assessed against and paid by Xxxxxxx, then Licensor will indemnify and hold harmless Xxxxxxx from and against such Tax.

(c) Xxxxxxx and Licensor will cooperate with respect to all documentation required by any taxing authority or reasonably requested by either Party to secure a reduction in the rate of applicable withholding Taxes. On the Execution Date, Licensor will deliver to Xxxxxxx an accurate and complete Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and as soon as practicable thereafter, an exemption certificate under the respective treaty between the U.S. and Germany. The Parties hereby provide their consent to disclose this Agreement to the German tax authorities for purposes of obtaining such an exemption certificate.

4.7.2 Indirect Taxes. Amounts payable under this Agreement do not include any sales, use, excise, value added or other applicable taxes, tariffs or duties. If any taxing authority imposes a VAT, GST, sales, use, service, consumption, business or similar Tax with respect to the work undertaken under this Agreement, then Xxxxxxx agrees to pay that amount if specified in a valid invoice or supply exemption documentation. For avoidance of doubt, Licensor will not be entitled to pass on to Xxxxxxx, and Xxxxxxx will not be obligated to pay or bear, any Tax that is based on Licensor’s real, personal or intangible property (whether owned or leased), corporate structure, franchise, continuing business operations, income, gross receipts, capital stock, net worth or imposed with respect to Licensor’s engagement of employees or independent contractors or that Licensor incurs upon subcontracting any work under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any affiliated or non-affiliated third party. Licensor is solely responsible, to the extent required by applicable law, for identifying, billing, and collecting the Taxes payable by Xxxxxxx in all relevant federal, state, county, municipal and other taxing jurisdictions and for filing all required tax returns in a timely manner. To the extent that Licensor does not provide Xxxxxxx a valid invoice (i.e., an invoice compliant with this Agreement and the rules and regulations of the jurisdiction of both Licensor and Xxxxxxx, including separate identification of the Tax where legally required), Licensor will be responsible for any penalty resulting directly from such noncompliance. The Parties will cooperate in good faith to minimize Taxes to the extent legally permissible.

Licensor will take all reasonable actions to assist Xxxxxxx in obtaining all applicable regulatory exclusivity protection available.

6.7 Licensed Patent Invalidity Claims.

6.7.1 Right to Control. If a Third Party initiates a patent opposition, reexamination, or other proceeding in the US Patent Office, European Patent Office or foreign equivalent, asserting that any Licensed Patent is invalid or otherwise unenforceable (an “Invalidity Claim”), the Parties will treat this as Prosecution of such Licensed Patent in accordance with Section 6.3. For the avoidance of doubt, any defense of a Third Party declaratory judgment action with respect to such Licensed Patent or a counterclaim of invalidity or unenforceability of such Licensed Patent made in the context of an Infringement Action will be deemed part of such Infringement Action and will be governed by Section 6.4.

6.7.2 Cooperation and Settlement. The non-controlling Party will, [***], cooperate with the controlling Party in the preparation and formulation of a response to an Invalidity Claim, and in taking other steps reasonably necessary to respond to such Invalidity Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.7, neither Party will settle or compromise any Invalidity Claim without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, provided that, if Xxxxxxx is the controlling Party, Xxxxxxx may settle an Invalidity Claim without Licensor’s consent through the grant of a sublicense to the applicable Third Party consistent with the requirements of Section 5.3 and without agreeing to any terms that stipulate to the invalidity of any Licensed Patents.

6.8 Claimed Infringement. Each of the Parties will promptly notify the other in the event that any Third Party files any suit or brings any other action alleging infringement of such Third Party’s Patent as a result of any Exploitation of any Licensed Compound or Licensed Product under this Agreement (any such suit or other action referred to herein as an “Infringement Claim”). Xxxxxxx will have the sole right to control the defense of any such Infringement Claim. Upon Xxxxxxx’x request, Licensor will reasonably cooperate with Xxxxxxx, [***], in the defense of such Infringement Claim. The damages or recovery obtained by the Third Party asserting such Infringement Claim will be paid by Xxxxxxx, provided that Xxxxxxx may offset such amounts against royalties payable to Licensor in accordance with Section 4.4.3(b). Xxxxxxx will have the sole right to settle any such Infringement Claim, in Xxxxxxx’x sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties’ rights and obligations under this Section 6.8 will be subject to ARTICLE 9, if applicable.

6.9 Recording of Agreement. If Xxxxxxx deems it necessary or desirable for any reason to register or record this Agreement with any patent office or other Governmental Authority anywhere in the Territory, Licensor will reasonably cooperate with Xxxxxxx to execute and deliver to Xxxxxxx any documents requested by Xxxxxxx to complete such registration or recordation, [***].

6.10 Trademarks. Xxxxxxx shall have the sole and exclusive right to, in its sole discretion, select (and conduct clearance searches for) the trademarks used to Commercialize the Licensed Products in the Territory, which may vary by country or within a country (the “Product Marks”). As between the Parties, Xxxxxxx shall own all rights in the Product Marks and shall register and maintain, in its sole discretion [***], the Product Marks in the countries and regions in the Territory that it determines to be appropriate. Xxxxxxx shall have the sole right, in its discretion and [***], to defend and enforce the Product Marks.

If and whenever any Confidential Information is disclosed in accordance with this Section 7.3, such disclosure will not cause such information to cease to be Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement, except to the extent that such disclosure results in a public disclosure of such information (other than by breach of this Agreement). Before a Party makes a disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section 7.3(c) or Section 7.3(d), it will, except where impracticable or not legally permitted, give [***] advance notice (or, if [***] notice is not possible under the circumstances, reasonable advance notice) to the other Party of such disclosure and will use not less than the same efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information as it would to protect its own confidential information from disclosure (but no less than reasonable efforts).

TERM AND TERMINATION

10.1 Term. Unless terminated earlier in accordance with this ARTICLE 10, the term of this Agreement will begin on the Execution Date and end, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis, on the expiration of the Royalty Term for such Licensed Product in such country (the “Term”).

All other provisions of this Agreement will not become effective until the Effective Date. Upon the request of either Party, the Parties will memorialize the Effective Date, as defined in Section 1.25, in a written document for the Parties’ records.

10.2 Termination for Material Breach. If a Party (the “Breaching Party”) materially breaches this Agreement, and such breach is not cured in accordance with this Section 10.2, the other Party (the “Non-breaching Party”) may terminate this Agreement in its entirety in accordance with this Section 10.2.

10.2.1 Breach Notice. The Non-breaching Party will provide a written notice to the other Party that (a) describes the alleged material breach in sufficient detail to put the Breaching Party on notice and (b) clearly states the Non-breaching Party’s intent to terminate this Agreement if the alleged material breach is not cured within the Cure Period (a “Breach Notice”).

10.2.2 Cure Period. Subject to Section 10.2.4, the Breaching Party will have [***] after the date the Breach Notice is given (or [***] after the date the Breach Notice is given, if the Breach Notice alleges a breach of a payment obligation under ARTICLE 4) to cure the alleged material breach (the “Cure Period”). If the material breach alleged in the Breach Notice is (a) not a breach of a payment obligation and (b) curable, but not reasonably curable within [***], the Breaching Party may seek an extension of the Cure Period if the Breaching Party provides a written plan for curing the breach to the Non-breaching Party; provided that no such extension will exceed [***] without the consent of the Non-breaching Party. In such case, the Breaching Party will use Diligent Efforts to cure such breach in accordance with such written plan during the applicable Cure Period.

10.2.3 Expiration of Cure Period.

If the alleged material breach is not cured prior to the expiration of the Cure Period, this Agreement will terminate in its entirety upon written notice from the Non-breaching Party to the Breaching Party, which notice must be provided within [***] following expiration of the Cure Period. Any dispute regarding whether the Breaching Party has cured the alleged material breach during the Cure Period will be resolved in accordance with ARTICLE 12. The Agreement will remain in full force and effect and the Parties will continue to perform all of their respective obligations under this Agreement during the pendency of such dispute resolution procedures until the date that the dispute is finally resolved in accordance with ARTICLE 12.

10.2.4 Tolling of Cure Period. If the Breaching Party disputes in good faith the existence or materiality of a breach specified in the Breach Notice provided by the Non-breaching Party, and the Breaching Party provides written notice of such dispute to the Non-breaching Party during the Cure Period, then the Cure Period will be tolled until the date that the dispute is finally resolved in accordance with ARTICLE 12. During the pendency of such dispute, this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and the Parties will continue to perform all of their respective obligations under this Agreement. If it is finally determined in accordance with ARTICLE 12 that the Breaching Party has materially breached this Agreement, the Cure Period will be deemed to continue on the date of such determination (i.e., the remaining portion of the Cure Period as of the date the Cure Period was tolled will be deemed to commence on such date). If it is finally determined in accordance with ARTICLE 12 that the Breaching Party has not materially breached this Agreement, then the applicable Breach Notice will be null and void as of the date of such determination and this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

10.3 Termination by Xxxxxxx Without Cause. Xxxxxxx may, upon [***] prior written notice to Licensor, terminate this Agreement in its entirety without cause.

10.4 Provisions for Insolvency.

10.4.1 Right to Terminate for Insolvency. Either Party may terminate this Agreement if, at any time, the other Party files in any court or agency pursuant to any statute or regulation of any state or country, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for an arrangement or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of the Party or of substantially all of its assets, or if the other Party is served with an involuntary petition against it, filed in any insolvency proceeding, and such other Party consents to the involuntary bankruptcy or such petition is not dismissed within [***] after the filing thereof, or if the other Party will propose or be a party to any dissolution or liquidation, or if the other Party will make an assignment of substantially all of its assets for the benefit of creditors (each, an “Insolvency Event”).

10.4.2 Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code. All rights and licenses now or hereafter granted by Licensor to Xxxxxxx under or pursuant to this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the licenses granted to Xxxxxxx pursuant to ARTICLE 5, are, for all purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (such Title 11, the “Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code. Upon the occurrence of any Insolvency Event with respect to Licensor, Xxxxxxxx agrees that Xxxxxxx, as licensee of such rights under this Agreement, will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Licensor and Xxxxxxx intend and agree that any sale of Licensor’s assets under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code will be subject to Xxxxxxx’x rights under Section 365(n), that Xxxxxxx cannot be compelled to accept a money satisfaction of its interests in the intellectual property licensed pursuant to this Agreement, and that any such sale therefore may not be made to a purchaser “free and clear” of Xxxxxxx’x rights under this Agreement and Section 365(n) without the express, contemporaneous consent of Xxxxxxx.

13.7 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision will be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor will such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction.

13.8 Captions. All captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and will not be interpreted as having any substantive meaning.

13.9 Further Actions. Each Party agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments and to do all such other acts as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

13.10 Amendment; No Waiver. No waiver, modification or amendment of any provision of this Agreement will be valid or effective unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of each Party. The failure of either Party to assert a right under this Agreement or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition.

13.11 Integration. This Agreement (including the attached Exhibits and Schedules) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, sets forth all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties regarding the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and terminates all previous agreements and understandings between the Parties regarding the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral, but excluding the Certificate, which will remain in full force and effect. In particular, and without limitation, this Agreement supersedes and replaces any and all term sheets relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and exchanged between the Parties prior to the Execution Date. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties regarding the subject matter hereof other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Certificate.

13.12 Independent Contractors; No Agency. Neither Party will have any responsibility for the hiring, firing or compensation of the other Party’s employees or for any employee benefits. No employee or representative of a Party will have any authority to bind or obligate the other Party to this Agreement for any sum or in any manner whatsoever, or to create or impose any contractual or other liability on the other Party without said Party’s written approval. For all purposes, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Xxxxxxx’x legal relationship under this Agreement to Licensor, and Licensor’s legal relationship under this Agreement to Xxxxxxx, will be that of independent contractor and will not constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency.

13.13 Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable for delay or failure in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement (other than the payment of money) if such delay or failure is due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, fires, typhoon, floods, earthquakes, tsunami, epidemics, pandemics, embargoes, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), terrorism, strikes, lockouts or other civil unrest, or omissions or delays in acting by any Governmental Authority; provided, however, that the affected Party promptly notifies the

other Party and uses Diligent Efforts to avoid or remove such causes of non-performance and to mitigate the effect of such occurrence, and will continue performance with commercially reasonable dispatch whenever such causes are removed. When such circumstances arise, the Parties will negotiate in good faith any modifications of the terms of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate in order to arrive at an equitable solution.

13.14 Use of Names. Neither Party will publicly use the name, physical likeness, employee names or Trademarks of the other Party (or any of its Affiliates) for any purpose without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that nothing contained herein will be construed to prevent either Party from using the name of the other Party (or its Affiliates) as required by applicable Law, including for purposes of preparing necessary filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or complying with its regulations, or other regulations applicable to the public sale of securities, including preparing proxy statements or prospectuses. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed as granting either Party any right or license to use any of the Trademarks of the other Party (or its Affiliates) without separate, express written permission of the owner of such Trademark. For purposes of this Section 13.14, “Trademark” means any word, name, symbol, color, designation, or device or any combination thereof, whether registered or unregistered, used or intended to be used in commerce and indicating the source for a product or service, including any domain name, trademark, trade dress, service mark, service name, brand mark, trade name, brand name, logo or business symbol.

13.15 Counterparts; Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, will be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts, taken together, will constitute one and the same instrument, even if both Parties have not executed the same counterpart. Signatures provided by facsimile transmission or by email of a .pdf attachment will be deemed to be original signatures.

13.16 Construction. Except as otherwise explicitly specified to the contrary, (i) references to a Section, Article, Exhibit or Schedule means a Section or Article of, or a Schedule or Exhibit to, this Agreement, including all subsections thereof, unless another agreement is specified; (ii) references to a particular statute or regulation include all rules and regulations thereunder and any successor statute, rules or regulations then in effect, in each case, including the then-current amendments thereto; (iii) words in the singular or plural form include the plural and singular form, respectively; (iv) unless the context requires a different interpretation, the word “or” has the inclusive meaning that is typically associated with the phrase “and/or”; (v) terms “including,” “include(s),” “such as,” and “for example” as used in this Agreement mean including the generality of any description preceding such term and will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation”; (vi) whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, such number will refer to calendar days unless Business Days are specified; (vii) when a time period set forth in this Agreement ends on a day that is not a Business Day, the last day of such time period will be the next Business Day; (viii) references to a particular Person include such Person’s successors and assigns to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement; (ix) all words used in this Agreement will be construed to be of such gender or number as the circumstances require; (x) the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and derivative or similar words refer to this Agreement (including any Exhibits); (xi) the words “will” and “shall” will have the same meaning and import; (xii) neither Party or its Affiliates will be deemed to be acting “on behalf of” the other Party under this Agreement, except to the extent expressly otherwise provided; (xiii) all references in this Agreement to “$” refer to U.S. Dollars; and (xiv) reference to sublicensees include direct and indirect sublicensees.
