6.2Prosecution of Licensed Patents.

(a)Generally. Subject to Section 6.2(b), as between the Parties, Precigen shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain the Licensed Patents in the Territory. As between the Parties, Precigen shall bear all costs incurred by Precigen in connection with the preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of any Licensed Patent. Precigen shall consult with Xxxxxxx and keep Alaunos reasonably informed of the status of the Licensed Patents and shall promptly provide Alaunos with copies of all material correspondence received from any patent authority in connection therewith to the extent not publicly available. In addition, Precigen shall timely provide Xxxxxxx with drafts of all proposed filings and correspondence to any patent authority with respect to the Licensed Patents (which could reasonably be considered to Cover a Licensed Product) in the Field for Alaunos’ review and comment prior to the submission of such proposed filings and correspondence. Precigen shall confer with Alaunos and incorporate Xxxxxxx’ comments prior to submitting such filings and correspondence, provided, that Xxxxxxx’ comments do not require Precigen to take any action in connection with the Licensed Patents that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect Precigen’s or its Affiliate’s Development or Commercialization of (i) products (other than Licensed Products) claimed by such Licensed Patent inside or outside the Field in the Territory or (ii) Licensed Products claimed by such Licensed Patent outside the Field in the Territory (a “Precigen Impact Situation”). If in either Party’s opinion, a Precigen Impact Situation could arise, such Party will promptly notify the other Party and the Parties shall discuss in good faith. Precigen shall have final decision authority with respect to whether or not to incorporate such comments. The Parties will work together to first determine if such claim could reasonably be considered to Cover a Licensed Product in the Field. If the claims in the pending case are determined not to Cover a Licensed Product, Precigen will not have an obligation to share prosecution for comment as opposed to for information only. However, if Precigen broadens the scope of the claims or files a continuation or divisional Precigen and Alaunos will again evaluate the claims to determine if the pending case Covers a Licensed Product.

(b)New Patent Applications. Notwithstanding Section 6.2(a), if after consultation with Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx agrees that a new patent application (including, with respect

14.

to Sleeping Beauty Intellectual Property, a divisional application) should be filed based on the Licensed Know-How, such patent applications shall be deemed Licensed Patents subject to further prosecution and maintenance in accordance with Section 6.2(a). Precigen shall reasonably consult with Xxxxxxx regarding the drafting and filing of such new patent applications and shall reasonably consider any comments provided by Xxxxxxx related thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, Precigen shall have authority with respect to such new patent applications (or divisional application) filing, prosecution and maintenance decisions in accordance with Section 6.2(a).

(c)Abandonment. If Precigen decides anywhere in the Territory to abandon any Licensed Patent in the Field, Xxxxxxx may assume Precigen’s rights and responsibilities under this Section 6.2 with respect to such Licensed Patent, and in connection with assuming such rights and responsibilities, Alaunos may apply for any extension (including a supplementary protection certificate or equivalent thereof) and Alaunos will thereafter be responsible for the prosecution and maintenance of such Licensed Patent in the Field in the Territory.

(d)Cooperation. Each Party shall provide the other Party all reasonable assistance and cooperation, at the other Party’s request and expense, in the patent prosecution efforts provided above in this Section 6.2, including providing any necessary powers of attorney, executing any other required documents or instruments for such prosecution, and making its personnel with appropriate scientific expertise available to assist in such efforts.

6.3Enforcement of Licensed Patents.

(a)Notification. If either Party becomes aware of (i) any existing or threatened infringement of the Licensed Patents in the Field in the Territory (including the filing of an ANDA under Section 505(j) of the FD&C Act or an application under Section 505(b)(2) of the FD&C Act naming a Licensed Product as a reference listed drug and including a certification under Section 505(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) or 505(b)(2)(A)(IV), respectively), or (ii) a declaratory judgment action against any Licensed Patent in the Territory in connection with any infringement described in clause (i) (each of (i) and (ii), a “Patent Infringement”), it shall promptly notify the other Party in writing to that effect, and the Parties will consult with each other regarding any actions to be taken with respect to such Patent Infringement.

(b)Enforcement Rights. For any Patent Infringement, each Party shall share with the other Party all Information available to it regarding such actual or alleged infringement. With respect to any Patent Infringement by a product that competes with an Exclusive Product in the Field (a “Product Infringement”). If a Licensed Patent is the only patent covering such Product Infringement, Alaunos will notify Precigen. Once Xxxxxxxx confirms there are no other patents Alaunos could bring for Product Infringement and if the only Licensed Patent is a member of patent family [***] then Alaunos shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring an appropriate suit or take other action against any person or entity engaged in, or to defend against, such Product Infringement, at Alaunos’ cost and expense. Alaunos shall not settle any such suit or action in any manner that would reasonably be expected to (i) require Precigen to incur any liability (ii) require Precigen to make any payments, or (iii) would reasonably be expected to adversely affect Precigen’s Development or Commercialization of products, in each case without the prior written consent of Precigen. If Xxxxxxx does not, within one hundred eighty (180) days after its receipt or delivery of notice under Section 6.3(a), commence a suit to enforce the Licensed Patent

15.

against such Product Infringement, take other action to terminate such Product Infringement or initiate a defense against such Product Infringement, Precigen shall have the right, but not the obligation, to commence such a suit or take such an action or defend against such Product Infringement in the Territory at its own cost and expense. Precigen shall not settle any such suit or action in any manner that (i) require Alaunos to incur any liability, (ii) require Alaunos to make any payments, or (iii) would reasonably be expected to adversely affect Alaunos’ Development or Commercialization of products in each case without the prior written consent of Precigen. If such Product Infringement is related to [***] and such Licensed Patent is the only patent covering such Product Infringement and Precigen has confirmed there are no other patents Alaunos could bring for Product Infringement, Precigen shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring an appropriate suit or take other action against any person or entity engaged in, or to defend against, such Product Infringement, at Precigen’s cost and expense. Precigen shall not settle any such suit or action in any manner that would reasonably be expected to (i) require Alaunos to incur any liability or (iii) require Alaunos to make any payments, in each case without the prior written consent of Xxxxxxx. If Precigen does not, within one hundred eighty (180) days after its receipt or delivery of notice under Section 6.3(a), commence a suit to enforce the Licensed Patent against such Product Infringement, take other action to terminate such Product Infringement or initiate a defense against such Product Infringement, Alaunos shall have the right, but not the obligation, to commence such a suit or take such an action or defend against such Product Infringement in the Territory at its own cost and expense. Alaunos shall not settle any such suit or action in any manner that would reasonably be expected to (i) require Precigen to incur any liability (ii) require Precigen to make any payments, or (iii) would reasonably be expected to adversely affect Precigen’s Development or Commercialization of products, in each case without the prior written consent of Precigen.

(c)Collaboration. Each Party shall provide to the enforcing Party reasonable assistance in such enforcement, at such enforcing Party’s request and expense, including joining such action as a party plaintiff if required by applicable Laws to pursue such action. The enforcing Party shall keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts and shall reasonably consider the other Party’s comments on any such efforts. The non-enforcing Party shall be entitled to separate representation in such matter by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, but such Party shall at all times cooperate fully with the enforcing Party.

(d)Expenses and Recoveries. The Party bringing or defending a claim, suit or action under Section 6.3(b) shall be solely responsible for any expenses incurred by such Party as a result of such claim, suit or action. If such Party recovers monetary damages in such claim, suit or action, such recovery shall be allocated first to the reimbursement of any expenses incurred by the Party or Parties in such litigation, and any remaining amounts shall be allocated [***] between the Parties.

6.4Orange Book Listing. Upon receipt of a notice of allowance (or equivalent) of an applicable Licensed Patent, Alaunos shall inform Precigen and request information reasonably required by Alaunos to list any Licensed Patent in the Orange Book maintained by the FDA or similar or equivalent patent listing source, if any, in other countries in the Territory with respect to such Licensed Product. Alaunos shall have the sole right to determine which Licensed Patent or other patent shall be included in the Orange Book for Licensed Products.

Alaunos and its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall have the right to brand the Licensed Products in the Territory using any Trademarks it determines appropriate for the Licensed Products, which may vary by country or within a country (the “New Product Marks”), provided that Alaunos shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and Sublicensees will not, make any use of the trademarks or house marks of Precigen (including Precigen’s corporate name) or any trademark confusingly similar thereto. As between the Parties, Xxxxxxx shall own all rights in the New Product Marks and shall register and maintain, in its discretion and at its own cost and expense, the New Product Marks in the countries and regions in the Territory that it determines to be appropriate.

10.3Termination by Either Party for Breach.

(a)Breach. Subject to Section 10.3(b), each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party if such other Party materially breaches its obligations under this Agreement and, after receiving written notice from the non-breaching Party identifying such material breach in reasonable detail, fails to cure such material breach within sixty (60) days from the date of such notice; provided that if such breach is not reasonably capable of cure within such sixty (60)-day period, the breaching Party may submit a reasonable cure plan prior to the end of such sixty (60)-day period, in which case the other Party shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement for so long as the breaching Party is using commercially reasonable efforts to implement such cure plan.

(b)Disputed Breach. If the alleged breaching Party disputes in good faith the existence or materiality of a breach specified in a notice provided by the other Party in accordance with Section 10.3(a), and such alleged breaching Party provides the other Party notice of such dispute within such sixty (60)-day period, then the non-breaching Party shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement under Section 10.3(a) unless and until the arbitrators, in accordance with Section 11.2, has determined that the alleged breaching Party has materially breached the Agreement and that such Party fails to cure such breach within sixty (60) days following such arbitrators’ decision. During the pendency of such dispute, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in effect and the Parties shall continue to perform all of their respective obligations hereunder.

Article 11 DISPUTE RESOLUTION

11.1Disputes. It is the objective 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. In the event of any disputes, controversies or differences which may arise between the Parties out of or in relation to or in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any alleged failure to perform, or breach, of this Agreement, or any issue relating to the interpretation or application of this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”), then upon the request of either Party by written notice, the Parties agree to meet and discuss in good faith a possible resolution thereof, which good faith efforts shall include at least one in-person meeting between the Executive Officers of each Party. If the matter is not resolved within thirty (30) days following the written request for discussions, either Party may then invoke the provisions of Section 11.2.

The decision rendered in any such arbitration will be final, binding and unappealable. The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators appointed in accordance with the AAA Rules, none of whom shall be a current or former employee or director, or a then-current stockholder, of either Party, their respective Affiliates or any Sublicensee.

No later than thirty (30) days after selection of the arbitrators, the Parties and their representatives shall

23.

hold a preliminary meeting with the arbitrators, to mutually agree upon and thereafter follow procedures seeking to assure that the arbitration will be concluded within six (6) months from such meeting. Failing any such mutual agreement, the arbitrators will design and the Parties shall follow procedures to such effect.

11.3Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the substantive laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

11.4Award. Any award to be paid by one Party to the other Party as determined by the arbitrator(s) as set forth above under Section 11.2 shall be promptly paid in United States dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset; and any costs, fees or taxes incident to enforcing the award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against the losing Party. Each Party agrees to abide by the award rendered in any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Section 11.4, and agrees that, subject to the United States Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, judgment may be entered upon the final award in any United States District Court located in New York and that other courts may award full faith and credit to such judgment in order to enforce such award. The award shall include interest from the date of any damages incurred for breach of the Agreement, and from the date of the award until paid in full, at a rate fixed by the arbitrator(s). With respect to money damages, nothing contained herein shall be construed to permit the arbitrator(s) or any court or any other forum to award consequential, incidental, special, punitive or exemplary damages. By entering into this agreement to arbitrate, the Parties expressly waive any claim for consequential, incidental, special, punitive or exemplary damages. The only damages recoverable under this Agreement are direct compensatory damages.

11.5Costs. Each Party shall bear its own legal fees. The arbitrator(s) shall assess his or her costs, fees and expenses against the Party losing the arbitration.

11.6Injunctive Relief. Nothing in this Article 11 will preclude either Party from seeking equitable relief or interim or provisional relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief, concerning a dispute either prior to or during any arbitration if necessary to protect the interests of such Party or to preserve the status quo pending the arbitration proceeding. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 11.6 shall otherwise limit a breaching Party’s opportunity to cure a material breach as permitted in accordance with Section 10.3.

11.7Confidentiality. The arbitration proceeding shall be confidential and the arbitrator(s) shall issue appropriate protective orders to safeguard each Party’s Confidential Information. Except as required by law, no Party shall make (or instruct the arbitrator(s) to make) any public announcement with respect to the proceedings or decision of the arbitrator(s) without prior written consent of the other Party. The existence of any dispute submitted to arbitration, and the award, shall be kept in confidence by the Parties and the arbitrator(s), except as required in connection with the enforcement of such award or as otherwise required by applicable law.

11.8Survivability. Any duty to arbitrate under this Agreement shall remain in effect and be enforceable after termination of this Agreement for any reason.

24.

11.9Jurisdiction. For the purposes of this Article 11, the Parties acknowledge their diversity and agree to accept the jurisdiction of any United States District Court located in New York for the purposes of enforcing or appealing any awards entered pursuant to this Article 11 and for enforcing the agreements reflected in this Article 11 and agree not to commence any action, suit or proceeding related thereto except in such courts.

11.10Patent and Trademark Disputes. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article 11, any dispute, controversy or claim relating to the scope, validity, enforceability or infringement of any Licensed Patents shall be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction in the country in which such Patent was filed or granted.

Article 12 MISCELLANEOUS

12.1Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto, and the Related Agreements sets forth the complete, final and exclusive agreement and all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes, as of the Effective Date, all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties other than as are set forth in this Agreement or the Related Agreements. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties unless reduced to writing and signed by an authorized officer of each Party.

12.2Rights in Bankruptcy.

(a)To the extent permitted under applicable Law, all rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by one Party to the other are, for all purposes of Title 11 of the United States Code (“Title 11”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined in Title 11, and, in the event that a case under Title 11 is commenced by or against either Party (the “Bankrupt Party”), the other Party shall have all of the rights set forth in Section 365(n) of Title 11 to the maximum extent permitted thereby. All rights of the Parties under this Section 12.2 and under Section 365(n) of Title 11 are in addition to and not in substitution of any and all other rights, powers, and remedies that each party may have under this Agreement, Title 11, and any other applicable Laws. The non-Bankrupt Party shall have the right to perform the obligations of the Bankrupt Party hereunder with respect to such intellectual property, but neither such provision nor such performance by the non-Bankrupt Party shall release the Bankrupt Party from any such obligation or liability for failing to perform it.

(b)Any intellectual property provided pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.2 shall be subject to the licenses set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and the payment obligations of this Agreement, which shall be deemed to be royalties for purposes of Title 11.

12.3Force Majeure. Both Parties shall be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by force majeure and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice of the prevention to the other Party. Such

25.

excuse shall be continued so long as the condition constituting force majeure continues and the nonperforming Party takes reasonable efforts to remove the condition. For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure shall include conditions beyond the control of the Parties, including an act of God, war, civil commotion, terrorist act, labor strike or lock-out, epidemic, failure or default of public utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, earthquake, storm or like catastrophe, and failure of plant or machinery (provided that such failure could not have been prevented by the exercise of skill, diligence, and prudence that would be reasonably and ordinarily expected from a skilled and experienced person engaged in the same type of undertaking under the same or similar circumstances). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall not be excused from making payments owed hereunder because of a force majeure affecting such Party. If a force majeure persists for more than ninety (90) days, then the Parties will discuss in good faith the modification of the Parties’ obligations under this Agreement in order to mitigate the delays caused by such force majeure.

12.4Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing, shall specifically refer to this Agreement, and shall be addressed to the appropriate Party at the address specified below or such other address as may be specified by such Party in writing in accordance with this Section 12.4, and shall be deemed to have been given for all purposes (a) when received, if hand-delivered or sent by confirmed facsimile or a reputable courier service, or (b) five (5) Business Days after mailing, if mailed by first class certified or registered airmail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested.

12.5No Strict Construction; Headings. This Agreement has been prepared jointly by the Parties and shall not be strictly construed against either Party. 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. The headings of 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.

The term “including” as used herein means including, without limiting the generality of any description preceding such term.

26.

12.6Assignment. Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that a Party may make such an assignment or transfer without the other Party’s consent (a) to its Affiliates, (b) to a Third Party in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the business or assets of such Party to which this Agreement relates, whether by merger, consolidation, divesture, restructure, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise or (c) to a Third Party in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the business or assets of such Party relating to a Licensed Product, whether by merger, consolidation, divesture, restructure, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise. Any successor or assignee of rights and/or obligations permitted hereunder shall, in writing to the other Party, expressly assume performance of such rights and/or obligations. Any permitted assignment shall be binding on the successors of the assigning Party. Any assignment or attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the terms of this Section 12.6 shall be null, void and of no legal effect.

12.7Performance by Affiliates. Each Party may discharge any obligations and exercise any right hereunder through any of its Affiliates. Each Party hereby guarantees the performance by its Affiliates of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement, and shall cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance. Any breach by a Party’s Affiliate of any of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed a breach by such Party, and the other Party may proceed directly against such Party without any obligation to first proceed against such Party’s Affiliate.

12.8Further 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 in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

12.9Severability. 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, the 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.

12.10No Waiver. Any delay in enforcing a Party’s rights under this Agreement or 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.

12.11Independent Contractors. Each Party shall act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give either Party the power or authority to act for, bind, or commit the other Party in any way. Nothing herein shall be construed to create the relationship of partners, principal and agent, or joint-venture partners between the Parties.

27.

12.12Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one (1) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
