In the event that the Product is sold as part of a Combination Product, the Net Sales of the Product, for the purposes of determining royalty payments, shall be determined by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product (as defined in the standard Net Sales definition) by the fraction, A / (A+B) where A is the weighted average sale price of the Product when sold separately in finished form, and B is the weighted average sale price of the other compound(s) or ingredient(s) sold separately in finished form.

In the event that the weighted average sale price of the Product can be determined but the weighted average sale price of the other compound(s) or ingredient(s) cannot be determined, Net Sales for purposes of determining royalty payments shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction A / C where A is the weighted average sale price of the Product when sold separately in finished form and C is the weighted average sale price of the Combination Product.

In the event that the weighted average sale price of the other compound(s) or ingredient(s) can be determined but the weighted average sale price of the Product cannot be determined, Net Sales for purposes of determining royalty payments shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the following formula: one (1) minus (B / C) where B is the weighted average sale price of the other compound(s) or ingredient(s) when sold separately in finished form and C is the weighted average sale price of the Combination Product.

In the event that the weighted average sale price of both the Product and the other compound(s) or ingredient(s) in the Combination Product cannot be determined, the Net Sales of the Product shall be deemed to be equal to the mutually agreed percentage of the Net Sales of the Combination Product; provided, that if the Parties are unable to agree on such relative value within 30 days of commencement of discussions with respect to such relative value, despite their good-faith efforts, then such dispute regarding the percentage shall, within 30 days, be referred to a panel of two (2) individuals, experienced in a field relevant to such a valuation exercise, comprising one expert selected by each of the Parties, who shall review and select between, without any modification thereto, one of the Parties’ proposals on the calculation of such percentage, and whose determination shall be final and binding on the Parties.

The weighted average sale price for a Product, other compound(s) or ingredient(s), or Combination Product shall be calculated once each Calendar Year and such price shall be used during all applicable royalty-reporting periods for the entire following Calendar Year. When determining the weighted average sale price of a Product, other compound(s) or ingredient(s), or Combination Product, the weighted average sale price shall be calculated by dividing the sales dollars (translated into Dollars) by the units of active ingredient sold during the twelve (12) months (or the number of months sold in a partial calendar year) of the preceding Calendar Year for the respective Product, other compound(s) or ingredient(s), or Combination Product. In the initial Calendar Year, a forecasted weighted average sale price will be used for the Product, other compound(s) or ingredient(s), or Combination Product. Any over or under payment due to a difference between forecasted and actual weighted average sale prices will be paid or credited in the first royalty payment of the following Calendar Year. Such amounts shall be determined from the books and records of Licensee or a Related Party maintained in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied. Licensee further agrees in determining such amounts, it will use and will require its Related Parties to use Licensee’s then-current standard procedures and methodology, including currency conversion as provided in Section 7.11.

For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances will Net Sales be reduced by any costs associated with marketing and promotional activities (even if such costs are appropriate reductions of Net Sales for financial reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP).

In no event shall any particular amount of deduction identified above be deducted more than once in calculating Net Sales (i.e., no “double counting” of deductions).

(vi)

If there is a [***] for the Product in any formulation/dosage within the Field, the corresponding milestone payment of [***] (depending on relevant Jurisdiction/Agency) would be payable.

For the avoidance of doubt only ten distinct Development Milestones may be achieved and so if all ten of the Development Milestones occur, the total amount of Development Milestone Payments required to be made under this Agreement will be [***].

7.3            Product Sales Milestone Payments. In consideration of the license and rights granted hereunder Licensee shall pay to Xxxxx each of the milestone payments set forth in the table below (each, a “Product Sales Milestone Payment”) once only, on the first occurrence of the aggregate Net Sales for the Product (by Licensee, and all Related Parties) in any Calendar Year exceeding the corresponding Net Sales threshold set forth in such table (each, a “Product Sales Milestone”). Licensee shall promptly notify Xxxxx in writing of [***] the occurrence of the Product Sales Milestone (each, a “Product Sales Milestone Notice”); provided, however, that in no event shall a failure to deliver a Product Sales Milestone Notice relieve Licensee of its obligation to pay the applicable Product Sales Milestone Payment when due pursuant to this Section 7.3. Licensee shall pay each Product Sales Milestone Payment [***] after the end of the Calendar Quarter in which the Product Sales Milestone first occurred.

Product Sales Milestone (Annual Net Sales Threshold)	Product Sales Milestone Payment
[***]	[***]
[***]	[***]
[***]	[***]
[***]	[***]
[***]	[***]

The aggregate Net Sales of the Product shall be for all products that fall within the definition of the Product taken together (e.g., all formulations and dosages), and shall be calculated on a worldwide basis for all jurisdictions within the Territory. If applicable, the aggregate Net Sales in each jurisdiction shall be converted to Dollars in accordance with Section 7.11 for purposes of determining whether a Product Sales Milestone has occurred. Each Product Sales Milestone Payment shall only be payable once for the Product for all products that fall within the definition of such Product taken together (e.g., all formulations and dosages), and shall be calculated on a worldwide basis for all jurisdictions within the Territory, and shall be payable upon the first occurrence of the applicable Product Sales Milestone. For clarity, the occurrence of a Product Sales Milestone for exceeding a particular Net Sales threshold shall also mean the occurrence of each Product Sales Milestone having a lower Net Sales threshold, and each such Product Sales Milestone Payment shall be separately due and payable (to the extent not previously paid). By way of example, if during a particular Calendar Quarter, the [***] Net Sales threshold for the Product is exceeded, but at the end of the prior Calendar Quarter, the [***] Net Sales threshold for the Product had not yet been exceeded, then the Product Sales Milestone Payments of [***] and [***] would both be due and payable [***] after the end of the Calendar Quarter during which the [***] Net Sales threshold was exceeded.

For the avoidance of doubt, if all of the Product Sales Milestones occur for the Product, the total amount of Product Sales Milestone Payments required to be made will be [***].

7.4            Major Financing Event Milestone Payment. In consideration of the license and rights granted hereunder, Licensee shall pay Xxxxx [***] (the “Major Financing Event Milestone Payment”), which shall be due and payable [***] following the Major Financing Completion.

7.5            Royalty Payments. In consideration of the license and rights granted hereunder, Licensee shall pay to Xxxxx a tiered royalty in an amount equal to the aggregate Net Sales for the Product during the Calendar Year (by Licensee and all Related Parties) multiplied by the applicable royalty rate percentage(s) specified in the table below (with each royalty rate percentage applied only to the corresponding range of Net Sales specified in such table) (collectively, the “Royalty Payments”).

Net Sales (each Calendar Year)	Royalty Rate Percentage
[***]	[***]
[***]	[***]
[***]	[***]
[***]	[***]

Each Royalty Payment shall be calculated based on the aggregate Net Sales of the Product during the Calendar Year, and shall be calculated on a worldwide basis for all jurisdictions within the Territory. If applicable, the aggregate Net Sales in each jurisdiction shall be converted to Dollars in accordance with Section 7.11 for purposes of determining the aggregate Net Sales in all jurisdictions. The aggregate Net Sales of the Product shall be for all products that fall within the definition of the Product taken together (e.g., all formulations and dosages). Each royalty rate percentage in the table above applies only to the specified range of Net Sales for the Product. For example, [***].

7.6            Generic Competition. [***]

7.7            Anti-Stacking. [***]

7.8            Valid Claims. [***]

7.9            Payments.

7.9.1        General. Licensee shall make all payments required by this Article 7 by wire transfer of then immediately available funds into an account designated by Xxxxx, and shall make such payments by a U.S. entity from a bank account domiciled in the U.S. and in Dollars. Each payment of the Upfront License Fee and each Milestone Payment shall be nonrefundable and non-creditable against any other payments due hereunder.

7.9.2        Royalty Payments and Reports. [***]

7.9.3        Sales Forecast[***]

7.10           Taxes and Withholding.

7.10.1        VAT. The Parties agree to cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to ensure that value added tax or similar payment (“VAT”) in respect of any payments made by Licensee to Lilly under this Agreement does not represent an unnecessary cost in respect of payments made under this Agreement. For purposes of clarity, all sums payable under this Agreement shall be made by Licensee exclusive of VAT. In the event that any VAT is owing in any jurisdiction in respect of any such payment, Licensee shall pay such VAT, and (a) if such VAT is owing as a result of any action by Licensee, including any assignment or sublicense (including assignment to, or payment hereunder by, another Licensee-related entity or Affiliate), or any failure on the part of Licensee or its Affiliates to comply with Applicable Laws or filing or record retention requirements, that has the effect of modifying the tax treatment of the Parties hereto, then the payment in respect of which such VAT is owing shall be made without deduction for or on account of such VAT to ensure that Xxxxx receives a sum equal to the sum which it would have received had such VAT not been due or (b) otherwise, such payment shall be made after deduction of such VAT. In the event that any deducted VAT is later recovered by Licensee or an Affiliate, Licensee shall reimburse Lilly [***] for the deducted amount. For the sake of clarity, any increase in payments to Xxxxx under this Section 7.10.1 shall reflect only the incremental increase in VAT directly resulting from clause (a) above. In the event that any VAT is owed in any jurisdiction in respect of any such payment, Xxxxx will provide to Licensee tax invoices showing the correct amount of VAT in respect of such payments hereunder.

7.10.2        Withholding Tax Matters. If Licensee is required to make a payment to Lilly subject to a deduction of tax or withholding tax, the sum payable by Licensee (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be made to Lilly after deduction of the amount required to be so deducted or withheld, which deducted or withheld amount shall be remitted in accordance with Applicable Laws. If such withholding tax is owing as a result of any action by Licensee, including any assignment or sublicense (including assignment to, or payment hereunder by, another Licensee-related entity or Affiliate), or any failure on the part of Licensee or its Affiliates to comply with Applicable Laws or filing or record retention requirements, that has the effect of modifying the tax treatment of the Parties hereto, then the payment in respect of which such withholding tax is owing shall be made without deduction for such withholding tax to ensure that Xxxxx receives a sum equal to the sum which it would have received had such withholding tax not been due.

7.10.3        Tax Cooperation. To the extent Licensee is required to deduct and withhold taxes on any payments to Lilly, Licensee shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to Lilly an official tax certificate or other evidence of such withholding sufficient to enable Xxxxx to claim such payments of taxes. In the event that Licensee is required to deduct and withhold taxes on payments to Lilly, Licensee shall provide Lilly prompt notice and identify any forms reasonably necessary in order for Licensee not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. Xxxxx shall provide to Licensee any completed tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for Licensee not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. Xxxxx shall use reasonable efforts to provide any such tax forms to Licensee [***] prior to the due date for any payments for which Xxxxx desires that Licensee apply a reduced withholding rate. Each Party shall provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Applicable Laws, of withholding taxes, VAT or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party bearing such withholding tax or VAT.

7.11            Currency Conversion. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. For the purpose of calculating any sums due under, or otherwise reimbursable pursuant to, this Agreement (including the calculation of Net Sales expressed in currencies other than Dollars), any amount expressed in a foreign currency shall be converted into Dollars in a manner consistent with such Party’s normal practices used to prepare its audited financial statements for external reporting purposes, in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, or by using a reputable source such as the Wall Street Journal or Reuters, at Xxxxx’x discretion.

7.12            Late Payments. Any amount required to be paid by a Party hereunder which is not paid on the date due shall bear interest [***]. Such interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days payment is delinquent calculated from the last day that payment was due until actual payment.

7.13            Records. Licensee and its Related Parties shall keep full, true and accurate records and books of account in reasonable detail and containing all particulars that may be necessary for the purpose of confirming the accuracy of, and calculating, as applicable, all Royalty Payments and other amounts payable to Xxxxx hereunder (including records of Net Sales), any records required by Applicable Law or for intellectual property protection purposes with respect to the Compound and Product, and any other records reasonably required to be maintained with respect to Licensee’s obligations under this Agreement [***]. Licensee and its Related Parties shall maintain internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that all transactions are executed in accordance with management authorization and recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements that conform to generally accepted accounting principles, that access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management authorization, and that recorded accountability for assets is compared to existing assets regularly and appropriate action is taken for any differences.

7.14            Audits. Xxxxx shall have a right to request an audit of Licensee in order to confirm the accuracy of the records described in Section 7.13 (an “Audit”); [***].

7.15            Equity Issuance. As consideration for the entry into this Agreement (and for the avoidance of doubt, no other consideration), JATT Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“JATT”), has agreed to issue to Lilly securities of JATT in an amount equal to 550,000 JATT ordinary shares listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like (the “JATT Shares”), on such terms as the Parties have agreed in the Equity Grant Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “JATT Grant Agreement”). [***] In the event that the “Transaction” as defined in the JATT Grant Agreement closes, and JATT breaches its obligation to issue the JATT Shares pursuant to the terms of the JATT Grant Agreement, Lilly may, without prejudice to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon written notice to Licensee. For the avoidance of doubt, Xxxxx shall have the option, in its sole discretion, not to accept any or all of the securities issuable pursuant to this Section 7.15 if it so desires.

8.6            Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights. [***]

8.7            Cooperation in Enforcement Proceedings. For any action by a Party pursuant to Section 8.6, in the event that such Party is unable to initiate or prosecute such action solely in its own name, the other Party or its Affiliates, as applicable, will join such action voluntarily and will execute all documents necessary for such Party to initiate, prosecute and maintain such action. If either Party initiates an enforcement action pursuant to Section 8.6, then, at such Party’s request, the other Party shall cooperate to the extent reasonably necessary and at the first Party’s sole expense for reasonable, out-of-pocket costs (except for the expenses of the non-controlling Party’s counsel, if any). Upon the reasonable request of the Party instituting any such action or if necessary to continue such action, such other Party shall join the suit and can be represented in any such legal proceedings using counsel of its own choice at its own expense. Each Party shall, if possible, assert and not waive the joint defense privilege with respect to all communications between the Parties reasonably the subject thereof with respect to any such action.

Licensee will also use its [***] to require any agents or independent contractors performing an activity pursuant to this Agreement to assign all Inventions that are developed, made or conceived by such agents or independent contractors on behalf of Licensee during the period of such agents or independent contractors’ relationship with Licensee to Licensee free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, charges, security interests, mortgages or other similar restrictions.

INDEMNIFICATION

10.1         Indemnification by Xxxxx. Xxxxx hereby agrees to save, indemnify, defend and hold Licensee, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) arising in connection with any and all charges, complaints, actions, suits, proceedings, hearings, investigations, claims, demands, judgments, orders, decrees, stipulations or injunctions by a Third Party (each, a “Claim”) to the extent resulting or otherwise arising from [***] in each case except to the extent that such Losses are subject to indemnification by Licensee pursuant to Section 10.2.

10.2         Indemnification by Licensee. Licensee hereby agrees to save, indemnify, defend and hold Xxxxx, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, agents and employees harmless from and against any and all Losses arising in connection with any and all Claims to the extent resulting or otherwise arising from [***] in each case except to the extent that such Losses are subject to indemnification by Xxxxx pursuant to Section 10.1.

10.3           Indemnification Procedures.

10.3.1        A Party believing that it is entitled to indemnification under, as applicable, Section 10.1 or Section 10.2 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notification to the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement of any Claim for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such Claim by a Third Party (it being understood and agreed, however, that the failure by an Indemnified Party to give notice of a Claim as provided in this Section 10.3.1 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice). Within 30 days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If a Party believes that a Claim presented to it for indemnification is one as to which the Party seeking indemnification is not entitled to indemnification under Section 10.1 or Section 10.2, as applicable, it shall so notify the Party seeking indemnification.

10.3.2        If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at its own expense; provided, that if the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own expense, to appoint its own counsel solely in connection with the defense of such Claim.

10.3.3       The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party advised of the status of such Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the Indemnified Party with respect thereto.

10.3.4       The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such Claim or consent to any judgment in respect thereof that does not include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party or adversely affects the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

ARTICLE 11

CONFIDENTIALITY

11.1            Confidential Information.

11.1.1        The Parties agree that during the Term [***] a Party receiving Confidential Information of the other Party will (a) maintain in confidence such Confidential Information to the same extent such Party maintains its own proprietary information of similar kind and value, (b) not disclose such Confidential Information to any Third Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, except as otherwise expressly permitted below, and (c) not use such Confidential Information for any purpose except those permitted by this Agreement. As used herein, “Confidential Information” means all Know-How and other information and materials received by either Party from the other Party or its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement. The foregoing obligations and the other obligations set forth in this Section 11.1 shall not apply with respect to any portion of such Confidential Information which:

(a)                is publicly disclosed by the disclosing Party, either before or after it becomes known to the receiving Party;

(b)                was known to the receiving Party or any or its Affiliates, without any obligation to keep it confidential, prior to when it was received from the disclosing Party;

(c)                is subsequently disclosed to the receiving Party or any of its Affiliates by a Third Party that is lawfully in possession thereof without obligation to keep it confidential;

(d)                has been published by a Third Party or otherwise enters the public domain through no fault of the receiving Party or any of its Affiliates in breach of this Agreement; or

(e)                has been independently developed or acquired by the receiving Party or any of its Affiliates without the aid, application or use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

11.1.2       The receiving Party shall have the right to disclose any Confidential Information provided by the other Party hereunder if such disclosure is necessary to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or the requirements of any Applicable Law, but only to the extent of such necessity or requirements, and no such disclosure shall cause any such information to cease to be Confidential Information hereunder, except to the extent such disclosure results in a public disclosure of such information. Where reasonably possible, the receiving Party shall notify the disclosing Party of the receiving Party’s intent to make such disclosure of Confidential Information pursuant to the preceding sentence sufficiently prior to making such disclosure so as to allow the disclosing Party adequate time to take whatever action the disclosing Party may deem to be appropriate to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.

11.1.3        Except as set forth above, each Party agrees that it shall provide or permit access to Confidential Information of the other Party only to (a) the receiving Party’s attorneys, independent accountants and financial advisors for the sole purpose of enabling such attorneys, independent accountants and financial advisors to provide advice to the receiving Party, (b) the receiving Party’s Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisors and permitted subcontractors, sub-licensees and sub-distributors, and to the directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisors and permitted subcontractors, sub-licensees and sub-distributors of such Affiliates, who have a need to know such Confidential Information to assist the receiving Party with the research, Development, Manufacturing or Commercialization activities contemplated or required of it by this Agreement; provided that in each case the Person to whom Confidential Information is being disclosed is subject to obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to such Confidential Information substantially similar to the obligations of confidentiality and non-use of the receiving Party pursuant to this Section 11.1, and (c) potential investors and acquirers in connection with bona fide financing or acquisition due diligence; provided that in each case the Person to whom Confidential Information is being disclosed is subject to obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to such Confidential Information substantially similar to the obligations of confidentiality and non-use of the receiving Party pursuant to this Section 11.1; and provided, further, that each Party shall remain responsible for any failure by its attorneys, independent accountants and financial advisors, Affiliates, and its and its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisors and permitted subcontractors, sub-licensees and sub-distributors, and any other parties to whom such Confidential Information is disclosed, to treat such Confidential Information as required under this Section 11.1.

For clarity, either Party may disclose without any limitation such Party’s U.S. federal income tax treatment and the U.S. federal income tax structure of the transactions relating to such Party that are based on or derived from this Agreement, including a complete copy of this Agreement and any amendments thereto.

11.1.4       Each Party acknowledges that a Party in breach of any of its obligations under this Section 11.1 may cause the non-breaching Party irreparable harm, for which monetary damages may be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement in the event of any such breach, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy available to it under this Agreement, at law or in equity, to seek injunctive relief, including an accounting for profits, specific performance of the terms hereof and other equitable relief for such breach, without the posting of bond or other security.

11.2           Publicity. It is understood that Xxxxx and Licensee may each desire or be required to issue press releases or other public statements relating to this Agreement or activities hereunder, and Xxxxx and Licensee each agree not to issue any press release or other public statement disclosing information relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the terms hereof without the prior written consent of such Party, not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such consent shall be required by Xxxxx or Licensee with respect to (a) the publication of materials or information that have been previously disclosed, so long as the content of such publication remains accurate at the time of disclosure, or (b) any disclosure which is required by Applicable Law or the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any securities exchange. In addition, following the initial press release announcing this Agreement, either Party shall be free to disclose, without the other Party’s prior written consent, the existence of this Agreement, the identity of the other Party and those terms of the Agreement which have already been publicly disclosed in accordance herewith.

11.3          Securities Filings. In the event Licensee proposes to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or the securities regulators of any state or other jurisdiction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other applicable securities law a registration statement or any other disclosure document which describes or refers to this Agreement, Licensee shall notify Lilly of such intention and shall provide Lilly with a copy of relevant portions of the proposed filing [***] prior to such filing (and any revisions to such portions of the proposed filing a reasonable time prior to the filing thereof), and shall use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment of any information that Xxxxx requests be kept confidential. For clarity, Lilly or any parent of Lilly may, at its discretion, file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or the securities regulators of any state or other jurisdiction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other applicable securities law, a registration statement or any other disclosure document which describes or refers to this Agreement.

11.4           Publications. Except for disclosures permitted under this Agreement, if Licensee, its Affiliates, or their respective employee(s) or consultant(s) wishes to make a publication related to the Product or which otherwise may reasonably contain Licensed Know-How, or other Confidential Information, of Xxxxx, Licensee shall deliver to Lilly a copy of the proposed written publication or an outline of an oral disclosure [***] prior to submission for publication or presentation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither Licensee nor any Related Party of Licensee shall use any of Lilly’s or its Affiliates’ trademarks, names, logos or housemarks in connection with any publication related to the Product, Licensee, or a Related Party of Licensee’s business without the express written consent of Lilly or its Affiliates.

11.5            Use of Names. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, neither Party shall use the name of the other Party in relation to this transaction in any public announcement, press release or other public document without the written consent of such other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that subject to Section 11.4, either Party may use the name of the other Party in any document filed with any Regulatory Authority or Governmental Authority, including the Securities and Exchange Commission.

11.6            Unauthorized Disclosure of Confidential Information. Each Party shall have a response plan in place for any disclosure of Confidential Information that is not authorized or otherwise permitted under this Agreement. Such plan shall include considerations of, among other things, notification, remediation and retrieval. In the event that a Party becomes aware of an unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information, then such Party shall notify the other Party promptly in writing.

11.7            Survival. The obligations and prohibitions contained in this Article 11 as they apply to Confidential Information shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for a period of ten (10) years.

ARTICLE 12

12.2.1        Licensee Option to Continue Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Licensee’s option to continue this Agreement in accordance with this Section 12.2.1 shall be Licensee’s sole and exclusive remedy for any such material breach by Xxxxx and to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, Licensee shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against Lilly or any of its Affiliates, on any theory of liability, for any damages or losses (including any direct, actual, special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages or losses) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, Xxxxx’x material breach of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby. For clarity, this Agreement will continue in accordance with its terms, save as expressly set forth in this Section 12.2.1.

[***]

12.4            Termination Related to Major Financing Event. Lilly may, without prejudice to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon written notice to Licensee in the event that at the Major Financing Event Deadline there has been no Major Financing Completion as set forth in Section 7.4 and no payment of the Major Financing Event Milestone Payment.[***]

12.6            Termination for Suspected Compliance Breach.

13.2            Termination. Upon termination (but not expiration) of this Agreement, in its entirety, or with respect to any given country(ies), [***].

13.3            Rights upon Termination. Except for an uncured material breach by Xxxxx resulting in termination by Licensee under Section 12.2, upon termination (but not expiration) of this Agreement, in its entirety, or with respect to any given country(ies), Licensee will promptly, [***] and at no cost to Lilly, do the following (but to the extent this Agreement is only terminated with respect to one or more countries, then the following shall only apply with respect to terminated countries; provided that upon such termination by country, where any of the following cannot be conducted, allocated or assigned on a country-by-country basis, Licensee shall, at Xxxxx’x sole discretion, enter into agreements to provide Lilly or its designee with the benefit of such agreement, right, or interest as if this Agreement had been terminated in its entirety):

(a)                assign to Xxxxx, at Xxxxx’x sole discretion and direction, all of Licensee’s right, title and interest in and to any agreements (or portions thereof) between Licensee and Third Parties that relate to the Development, Commercialization or Manufacture of the Product, including the right to enforce any such agreements;

(b)                With respect to the Product, Licensee (i) hereby grants Lilly, effective upon the expiration or the effective date of termination of this Agreement, as applicable, a perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up, royalty free, non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses at any tier, under all Licensee Technology, and trademarks developed for or used to Commercialize the Product, to Develop, Manufacture, and Commercialize the Product(s) in the Territory and (ii) shall promptly assign and transfer to Lilly or its designee all Product Trademarks and Product Trade Dress developed for or used to Commercialize the Product that are held or controlled by or under authority of Licensee, and shall take such actions and execute such other instruments, assignments and documents as may be necessary to effect the assignment and transfer of such Product Trademarks and Product Trade Dress to Lilly.

The Parties recognize that early termination of this Agreement requires both discussion and coordination between the Parties to ensure patient safety, continuity of treatment, if appropriate, and compliance with Applicable Laws. Upon early termination of this Agreement, the Parties shall cooperate to provide for an orderly transition or cessation of any clinical trials for the Territory, as requested by Xxxxx. Each Party further agrees to take no action or forego taking action if such action or forbearance would in any manner jeopardize patient safety or cause the other Party to violate any Applicable Laws;

(d)                assign to Xxxxx, at Xxxxx’x sole discretion and direction, the management and continued performance of any clinical trials for the Product ongoing hereunder as of the effective date of such expiration or termination in respect of which Xxxxx shall assume full financial responsibility from and after the effective date of such expiration or termination. If Applicable Laws prevent or delay the transfer of ownership of Regulatory Materials to Lilly or its designee, Licensee shall grant, and does hereby grant, to Lilly or its designee an exclusive and irrevocable right of access and reference to such Regulatory Materials for the Licensed Product, and shall cooperate fully to make the benefits of such Regulatory Materials available to Lilly or its designee(s). [***] Licensee shall provide to Lilly or its designee copies of all such Regulatory Materials, and of all preclinical and clinical data (including raw data, original records, investigator reports, both preliminary and final, statistical analyses, expert opinions and reports, safety and other electronic databases) and other Know-How pertaining to the Licensed Product, or the manufacture thereof. Xxxxx shall be free to use and disclose such Regulatory Materials and other items in connection with the exercise of its rights and licenses under this Article;

(e)                transfer to Xxxxx all of Licensee’s right, title and interest in and to any and all regulatory filings, Regulatory Approvals and other Regulatory Materials for the Product;

(f)                transfer to Xxxxx all of Licensee’s right, title and interest in and to any and all Development Data and Commercialization Data Controlled by Licensee for the Product; and

For purposes of clarity, (A) Xxxxx shall have the right to request that Licensee take any or all of the foregoing actions in whole or in part, or with respect to all or any portion of the assets set forth in the foregoing provisions and (B) to the extent Lilly requests Licensee to transfer its right, title and interest in the items set forth in this Section 13.3 to Lilly, Licensee shall also cause its Affiliates to transfer and assign to Lilly all of such Affiliates’ right, title and interest in and to the foregoing items set forth in this Section 13.3.

The appropriate technical teams at Lilly and Licensee will meet to plan transfer for the Licensee Know-How as follows: (i) Licensee’s designated representative(s) for the Product will meet with representatives from Xxxxx to answer questions with respect to the Licensee Know-How and establish a plan for the transfer for such Licensee Know-How (in the relevant country(ies) as the case may be); and (ii) Licensee will allocate adequate appropriately qualified representatives to work with Xxxxx to review the Licensee Know-How to enable the completion of the transfer within 30 days of the completion of the initial transfer planning meetings to the extent reasonable [***].

13.6            Accrued Rights. Expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason will be without prejudice to any rights that will have accrued to the benefit of a Party prior to the effective date of such expiration or termination. Such expiration or termination will not relieve a Party from obligations that are expressly indicated to survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

13.7            Survival. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the following provisions shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: Article 1 (Definitions), Article 11 (Confidentiality), Article 13 (Effects of Expiration or Termination), Article 14 (Dispute Resolution) and Article 15 (Miscellaneous) and Sections 7.13, 7.14, 9.5.4 - 9.5.7, 9.7, 9.8, 10.1 - 10.4. Except as set forth in this Article 13 or otherwise expressly set forth herein, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, all other rights and obligations of the Parties shall cease.

13.8            Rights in Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by Xxxxx and Licensee are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, licenses of right to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that each Party, as licensee of certain rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against a Party (such Party, the “Bankrupt Party”) under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (a) the other Party shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any intellectual property licensed to such other Party and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which, if not already in such other Party’s possession, shall be promptly delivered to it (i) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon such other Party’s written request therefore, unless the Bankrupt Party elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) if not delivered under clause (i), following the rejection of this Agreement by the Bankrupt Party upon written request therefore by the other Party; and (b) the Bankrupt Party shall not unreasonably interfere with the other Party’s rights to intellectual property and all embodiments of intellectual property, and shall assist and not unreasonably interfere with the other Party in obtaining intellectual property and all embodiments of intellectual property from another entity. The “embodiments” of intellectual property include all tangible, intangible, electronic or other embodiments of rights and licenses hereunder, including all compounds and products embodying intellectual property, Product, filings with Regulatory Authorities and related rights and Licensed Know-How in the case that Xxxxx is the Bankrupt Party and Licensee Know-How in the case Licensee is the Bankrupt Party.

ARTICLE 14

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

14.1            Disputes. The Parties recognize that, from time to time, disputes, controversies or claim may arise which stem from or are related to a Party’s respective rights or obligations under this Agreement or a Party’s actual or alleged breach of this Agreement (a “Dispute”). It is the desire of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of Disputes arising under this Agreement in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to litigation. To accomplish this objective, the Parties agree to follow the procedures set forth in this Article 14 if and when a Dispute arises under this Agreement. If the Parties are unable to resolve any Dispute within 30 days after such Dispute is submitted to it, either Party may, by written notice to the other Party, have such dispute referred to Designated Officers of each Party for attempted resolution. If the Designated Officers cannot reach resolution of the Dispute within 30 days after such referral, the Dispute shall be referred to the Parties’ designated executive officers or their delegates for attempted resolution. In the event the designated executive officers or their delegates are not able to resolve such Dispute within such 30-day period after receipt of written notice, and a Party wishes to pursue the matter, then each Party may assert any remedy available at law or equity to enforce its rights under this Agreement.

14.2            Choice of Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and the patent laws of the United States without reference to any rules of conflict of laws. Each of the Parties hereby submits to the jurisdiction of the United States Federal District Court for Delaware in any proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, agrees not to commence any suit, action or proceeding relating thereto except in such court, and waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the right to move to dismiss or transfer any action brought in such court on the basis of any objection to personal jurisdiction, venue or inconvenient jurisdiction. Each Party further agrees that service or any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such Party’s notice address provided for in this Agreement shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in Delaware with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 14.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement will deny any Party the right to seek injunctive relief or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction applying the laws of the court in the context of a bona fide emergency or prospective irreparable harm, and such an action may be filed and maintained notwithstanding any other ongoing proceeding. Any rights to trial by jury with respect to any suit, action, proceeding or claim (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise), directly or indirectly, arising out of or relating to this Agreement hereunder are expressly and irrevocably waived by each of the Parties.

ARTICLE 15

MISCELLANEOUS

15.1            Entire Agreement; Amendment.

This Agreement may be amended, or any term hereof modified, only by a written instrument duly executed by authorized representatives of each of the Parties.

15.2            Force Majeure. No Party shall be liable for any failure to perform, or be considered in breach of, its obligations under this Agreement (other than obligations to make payments of money) to the extent such performance has been delayed, interfered with or prevented by an event of Force Majeure, and the obligations of such Party under this Agreement (other than obligations to make payments of money) whose performance is affected by Force Majeure shall be suspended during, but not longer than, the continuance of the event of Force Majeure. Any Party that experiences an event of Force Majeure shall provide prompt notice of such event to the other Party, including and an estimate of the likely period of time during which its performance will be affected, and shall use reasonable efforts to remove the condition constituting Force Majeure. In the event of a prolonged condition of Force Majeure that makes it unreasonable to continue to perform other activities then being performed by the Parties and their Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement, the Parties shall consult directly or through the appropriate committees and may appropriately scale back their respective activities in order to avoid waste or inappropriate usage of resources under the circumstances, and neither Party shall be liable for any such reasonable scale back, or be considered in breach of its obligations under this Agreement (other than obligations to make payments of money to the other Party) as a result of such reasonable scale back. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 15.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that a COVID-19 pandemic and business disruptions related thereto (collectively, the “COVID Event”) are currently occurring as of the Effective Date and may worsen, and the Parties further acknowledge and agree that neither the COVID Event, nor any recurrence thereof, shall be considered to be an event of Force Majeure or otherwise excuse any failure or delay in performance by either Party under this Agreement (so long as performance is not thereby made unlawful).

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 written consent (i) to any of its Affiliates (but only for so long as such Person is and remains an Affiliate of such Party, it being agreed that such Party shall cause such assignment to terminate prior to such time, if any, as such Person ceases to be an Affiliate of such Party), and (ii) to any Third Party in connection with (a) the acquisition of such Party by or merger or consolidation of such Party with another entity or (b) a merger, consolidation, sale of stock, sale of all or substantially all of such Party’s assets or other similar transaction in which such Third Party either becomes the owner of all or substantially all of the business and assets of (i) such Party or (ii) that portion of such Party’s business or business unit relating to this Agreement. Any permitted successor or assignee of rights or obligations hereunder shall, in a writing delivered to the other Party, expressly assume the performance of such rights or obligations. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, in the event of an assignment or transfer as permitted above in this Section 15.4, if this Agreement is assigned or transferred to an Affiliate, the assigning or transferring Party shall remain responsible (jointly and severally) with such Affiliate for the performance of such assigned or transferred obligations. Any assignment or transfer, or attempted assignment or transfer, by either Party in violation of the terms of this Section 15.4 shall be null and void and of no legal effect. This Agreement shall be binding on, and inure to the benefit of, each Party, its successors and permitted assigns.

15.5          Offset Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Party may, at any time or for any reason, offset any payments due to the other Party or its Affiliates under this Agreement.

15.6          Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be or is taken, such provision shall be considered severed from this Agreement and shall not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof. The Parties shall make a good-faith effort to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.

15.7          Cumulative Remedies. No remedy referred to in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to in this Agreement or otherwise available under Applicable Law.

15.8          Ambiguities; No Presumption. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement has been diligently reviewed by and negotiated by and between them, that in such negotiations each of them has been represented by competent counsel and that the final agreement contained herein, including the language whereby it has been expressed, represents the joint efforts of the Parties hereto and their counsel. Accordingly, in interpreting this Agreement or any provision hereof, no presumption shall apply against any Party hereto as being responsible for the wording or drafting of this Agreement or any such provision, and ambiguities, if any, in this Agreement shall not be construed against any Party, irrespective of which Party may be deemed to have authored the ambiguous provision.

15.9          Headings. The headings for each Article and Section in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to limit or expand on the meaning of the language contained in the particular Article or Section.

15.10        Interpretation. Except where the context expressly requires otherwise: (a) the use of any gender herein shall be deemed to encompass references to either or both genders, and the use of the singular shall be deemed to include the plural (and vice versa); (b) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”; (c) the word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”; (d) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein); (e) any reference herein to any person shall be construed to include the person’s successors and assigns; (f) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof; (g) all references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits or Schedules shall be construed to refer to Articles, Sections, Exhibits or Schedules of this Agreement, and references to this Agreement include all Exhibits and Schedules hereto; (h) the word “notice” means notice in writing (whether or not specifically stated) and shall include notices, consents, approvals and other written communications contemplated under this Agreement; (i) provisions that require that a Party, the Parties or any committee hereunder “agree,” “consent” or “approve” or the like shall require that such agreement, consent or approval be specific and in writing, whether by written agreement, letter, email, approved minutes or otherwise (but excluding instant messaging); (j) references to any specific law, rule or regulation, or article, section or other division thereof, shall be deemed to include the then-current amendments thereto or any replacement or successor law, rule or regulation thereof; (k) the term “or” shall be interpreted in the inclusive sense commonly associated with the term “and/or”; and (l) the term “to the extent” shall be interpreted to mean the extent or degree to which a subject or thing extends, and shall not simply be construed to mean the word “if.”

15.11            No Waiver. Any delay in enforcing a Party’s rights under this Agreement or, subject to Section 12.2.1, any waiver as to a particular default or other matter shall not constitute a waiver of such Party’s rights to the future enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, except with respect to an express written and signed waiver relating to a particular matter for a particular period of time.

15.12            No Third-Party Beneficiaries. No person or entity other than Licensee, Xxxxx and their respective Affiliates, successors and permitted assignees hereunder, shall be deemed an intended beneficiary hereunder or have any right to enforce any obligation of this Agreement.

15.13            Independent Contractors. It is expressly agreed that Licensee and Xxxxx shall be independent contractors and that the relationship between Licensee and Xxxxx shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency. Neither Licensee nor Xxxxx shall have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, which shall be binding on the other Party, without the prior written consent of such other Party.

15.14            Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed by delivery of electronically scanned copies of original signatures delivered by facsimile or electronic mail, and such signatures shall be deemed to bind each Party as if they were original signatures.
