BMS shall have the right to require Zymo to give notice of a Conversion under Section 7.1.1 or, at Zymo’s option, an Election to Co-Fund Only under Section 7.4 if:

(a) there has been a Change of Control of Zymo and not a Change of Control of BMS;

(b) the acquirer of Zymo has a continuing program to develop a product for which the primary indication is [ * ] and as part of such program the company acquiring Zymo (x) has [ * ] or (y) plans to [ * ] within [ * ] after the effective date of such Change of Control; and

12.2 Prosecution and Maintenance

12.2.1 Core Patents

For the purposes of this Article Twelve, all Core Patents will be prosecuted and maintained in accordance with Section 12.2.4. For clarity, an Ex-US Core Patent shall not be a Joint Patent solely by reason of the [ * ] of a [ * ] pursuant to Section 11.2.

12.2.2 BMS IP

Subject to Section 12.2.6, BMS shall be solely responsible, as it shall determine in its sole discretion and shall bear all Patent Prosecution Costs, for the filing and prosecution of any and all patent applications with respect, in whole or in part, to any BMS IP (other than [ * ] Joint Patents and Ex-US Core Patents, which is addressed in Section 12.2.4), for opposition, appeal, reexamination, reissue, revocation, interference or other administrative proceedings with respect thereto, and for the maintenance of any available patent protection with respect thereto.

The Patent Contacts shall establish procedures for reimbursing Patent Prosecution Costs for the Core Patents consistent with Article Ten.

12.2.4 Joint Patents and Core Patents

BMS and Zymo shall share responsibilities and decision making with regard to patent matters relating to Joint Patents and Core Patents, and shall share Patent Prosecution Costs with respect thereto in accordance with the cost sharing ratio set forth in Section 12.2.3. The Patent Contacts shall be responsible for assigning specific tasks to each of the parties for the filing and prosecution of any and all patent applications, for opposition, appeal, reexamination, reissue, revocation, interference or other administrative proceedings, and for the maintenance of any available patent protection with respect to any Joint Patents. With respect to patents and patent


		-50-		*[ ] Confidential Treatment Request**ed

applications within the Joint Patents, the party appointed by the Patent Contacts on a patent by patent basis shall be the Patent Prosecution Party for the purposes of Section 12.2.5(b)(i) and 12.2.5(b)(ii). Zymo shall be the Patent Prosecution Party for the Core Patents, provided that upon the occurrence of a [ * ], BMS shall have the option to become the Patent Prosecution Party.

12.2.5 Patent Prosecution Party’s Efforts

(a) Subject to Subsection (d), the “Patent Prosecution Party” means, with regards to any Patent Rights, the party who controls the filing, prosecution and maintenance of such Patent Right in accordance with Sections 12.2.2, 12.2.3 or 12.2.4.

(b) In performing the role assigned under this Section 12.2.5, the Patent Prosecution Party shall exert its Reasonable Commercial Efforts, consistent with its customary practices with respect to its own activities, to the extent such activities bear on Licensed Products. The Patent Prosecution Party shall:

(i) deliver to the other party copies of communications between the Patent Prosecution Party and relevant patent offices, promptly after receipt from, or delivery to, such patent office; and

(ii) take the other party’s comments and suggestions, if any, into consideration when framing responses and submissions to patent offices.

The Patent Prosecution Party shall have final authority over patent strategy, including selection of jurisdictions in which to file patent applications and the content of responses and submissions to patent offices; provided that in the case of Core Patents and subject to Section 3.9(c), BMS shall have such final authority.

(c) In performing the role assigned under this Section 12.2.5 with respect to Core Patents, the Patent Contacts may at any time agree to have a mutually agreed upon outside counsel manage all or part the prosecution and maintenance of such patents and patent applications under the direction of the Patent Prosecution Party in accordance with this Section 12.2.5; provided, that in the case of the Core Patents and subject to Section 3.9(c) [ * ] shall have [ * ].

(d) If the [ * ] takes place, BMS shall become the Patent Prosecution Party for the Core Patents. For clarity, Subsection (c) above shall continue to apply.

12.2.6 Discontinued Patent

Either party may at any time elect, by written notice to the other party, to discontinue support for one or more patents or patent applications within the BMS IP or Zymo IP, as applicable (a “Discontinued Patent”) and shall not be responsible for any Patent Prosecution Costs relating to a Discontinued Patent that are incurred more than sixty (60) days after receipt of that notice by the other party. The other party may elect, at its sole discretion and at its sole expense, to continue preparation, filing, prosecution and/or maintenance of the Discontinued Patent, except to the extent such Discontinued Patent has also been exclusively licensed to a


		-51-		*[ ] Confidential Treatment Request**ed

Third Party having patent prosecution rights; provided that Zymo or BMS, respectively, may elect not to prepare and file in one or more countries or territories a patent application that would become Zymo IP or BMS IP respectively, without having such potential patent application be deemed to be a Discontinued Patent unless such patent application would be a Core Patent if such patent application were to issue. The party electing to discontinue support shall execute such documents of transfer and perform such acts as may be reasonably necessary to transfer control of the Discontinued Patent to the other party and enable that party to file or to continue prosecution or maintenance of the Discontinued Patent, if the other party elects to do so. In the event BMS continues support for a Discontinued Patent, such Discontinued Patent shall no longer be considered Zymo IP but shall be considered BMS IP for all purposes. In the event that Zymo continues support for a Discontinued Patent, such Discontinued Patent shall no longer be considered either BMS IP but shall be considered Zymo IP for all purposes. If the party electing to continue support for a Discontinued Patent subsequently decides to discontinue such support, this Section 12.2.6 shall not apply to such Discontinued Patent and the parties shall allow such Discontinued Patent to go abandoned. For clarity, if a party elects to continue support for a Discontinued Patent it will also be responsible for opposition, appeal, reexamination, reissue, revocation, interference or other administrative proceedings with respect thereto.

12.3 Defense of Third Party Infringement Claims

If a Third Party commences an action alleging or claims that either party’s Development or Commercialization activities with regard to a Licensed Product infringes its intellectual property rights or that such Third Party’s intellectual property rights were otherwise misappropriated during the Development or Commercialization of the Licensed Product, the party receiving such notice shall promptly notify the other party, and the parties shall promptly confer to consider the claim or assertion and the appropriate course of action subject to the following:

In the event that Zymo wishes to propose a publication related to a Licensed Product for Party Development Tasks conducted by Zymo pursuant to the Joint Development Plan, Zymo shall submit to BMS the proposed publication or public disclosure containing clinical or scientific results from such trial at least, in the case of disclosures in scientific journals, sixty (60) days and, in the case of abstracts and other public disclosures, thirty (30) days in advance to allow BMS to review such proposed publication or disclosure. BMS will promptly review such proposed publication or disclosure and make any objections or comments that it may have thereto, and the parties shall discuss the advantages and disadvantages of publishing or disclosing such results. Both parties understand that a reasonable commercial strategy may require delay of publication of information or filing of patent applications; provided that such reasonable commercial strategy will take account of the parties’ differing needs with regard to public disclosures. The parties agree to review and consider delay of publication and filing of patent applications under certain circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on whether to publish or disclose the same, the matter shall be referred to the JDC for resolution. This Section 13.6 shall not be deemed to limit the parties’ obligations under this Article Thirteen. Each party shall ensure that any such publications are in accordance with normal scientific publication practices, including those relating to authorship of such publications.

13.7 Obligations of Confidentiality to Third Parties

Nothing herein or otherwise shall require any party to disclose information with respect to which such party has an obligation of confidentiality to a Third Party, but each party will exert its Reasonable Commercial Efforts to bring to the attention of the JEC any such Third Party restrictions as may be relevant hereunder. Each party agrees not to disclose any confidential information of a Third Party in violation of such party’s obligations to such Third Party.

16.10 Exception for Termination for Safety Reasons

Any license granted to Zymo and any obligation of BMS to continue to supply Licensed Products under Section 16.8 shall be of no force or effect with respect to any given Licensed Product where BMS’ termination of Development and/or Commercialization of such Licensed Product was due to Safety Reasons. For purposes of this Section 16.10, “Safety Reasons” means it is BMS’ or any of its Affiliates’ or Sublicensees’ reasonable belief, after due inquiry and in a manner consistent with BMS’ then-current decision-making policies and procedures with respect to such a determination, that there is an unacceptable risk for harm in humans based upon: (i) pre-clinical safety data, including data from animal toxicology studies; or (ii) the observation of serious adverse effects in humans after a Licensed Product has been administered to or taken by humans, such as during a clinical trial or after the launch of a Product. BMS shall provide Zymo with all relevant data for such terminated Licensed Product but shall not be obligated to assign to Zymo any Regulatory Filings relating to such terminated Licensed Product (but for clarity, shall assign the Ex-US Core Patents back to Zymo). If Zymo does not agree with BMS’ opinion that BMS’ termination was due to Safety Reasons, such dispute shall be handled in accordance with Article Seventeen.

neither this Agreement nor any right herein granted may be assigned by either party to any Affiliate or Third Party, without the prior, express written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any purported assignment prohibited hereunder and made without the other party’s consent shall be void and shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

(b) such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, BMS and Zymo hereby waive their right to enforce any provision of law that would render any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect. If the terms and conditions of this Agreement are materially altered as a result of this Section 18.8, the parties shall attempt to renegotiate the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in good faith, to resolve any inequities.
