Conversely in the event DBV restructures payments under this Agreement which results in adverse change in Withholding Taxes payable by NESTEC, DBV shall not be entitled to any increased amount payable hereunder.

8.5 Late Payments. If DBV does not receive payment of any sum due to it under this Agreement on or before the due date, interest shall thereafter accrue on the sum due to DBV from the due date until the date of payment, such interest to be calculated at a rate equal to the lesser of (a) [***], and (b) the highest rate permitted by applicable Laws.

The Parties will agree as to their respective responsibilities with respect to the filing, prosecution and maintaining of Joint Patent applications claiming such Joint Invention, provided that in the absence of agreement, Patent application shall be filed, prosecuted and maintained with the largest protection possible in Target Countries at shared costs.

9.2.3 Cooperation in Prosecution. Each Party shall, at its sole cost and expense, provide the other Party all reasonable assistance and cooperation in the Patent prosecution efforts described above in this Section 9.2 including providing any necessary powers of attorney and executing any other required documents or instruments for such prosecution.

9.3 Enforcement.

9.3.1 Notification. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any existing or threatened infringement by a Third Party (i) of the Licensed Patents of which it becomes aware in Field and the Territory and (ii) of the Joint Patents of which it becomes aware in any field of use in any territory, and shall provide to the other Party any and all evidence and information available to such Party regarding such alleged infringement.

9.3.2 Enforcement.

(a) DBV shall have the sole right but not the obligation, to bring an appropriate suit or other action against any Third Party engaged in infringement in the Territories based on any Licensed Patents and DBV Improvements. NESTEC shall have the sole right but not the obligation, to bring an appropriate suit or other action against any Third Party engaged in infringement in the Territory based on NESTEC Patents and NESTEC Improvements

(b) Notwithstanding the provision of subclause (a), if NESTEC notifies DBV that it wishes to bring an appropriate suit or other action against any Third Party engaged in infringement in the Territory in the Field based on Licensed Patents, DBV shall have a period of sixty (60) days after such notification to or by NESTEC to elect to so enforce such Licensed Patent, as applicable, in the Territory. If DBV does so elect, DBV shall so notify NESTEC in writing during such sixty (60) day period. If DBV does not so elect, NESTEC shall have the right, but not the obligation, to commence a suit or take action to enforce any such Licensed Patent against such Third Party allegedly perpetrating

such infringement, except, with respect to the Viaskin^® Patents, if, during such sixty (60) days period, DBV notifies NESTEC in writing that it determines in good faith that commencing such suit or action would have a material and adverse effect on the Viaskin^® Patents and provides NESTEC, through any outside patent attorney designated by NESTEC for that purpose, with reasonable evidence in this respect, in which case the provision of Section 8.3.3(d) shall apply. Each Party shall provide to the Party enforcing any such rights under this Section 9.3.2(b) (the “Enforcing Party”) reasonable assistance in such enforcement, including joining an action as a party plaintiff if so required by applicable Laws to pursue such action, at the Enforcing Party’s sole expense. 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 Enforcing Party shall bear and be responsible for all costs incurred in connection with each Party’s activities under this Section 9.3.2(b). The Party not bringing an action with respect to infringement under this Section 9.3.2(b) 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 Party bringing such action. Additionally, the Party not bringing an action under this Section 9.3.2(b) may have an opportunity to participate in such action, at its sole cost and expense, to the extent that the Parties may mutually agree at the time the Enforcing Party elects to bring such action hereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding the provision of subclause (a), with respect to Licensed Patents other than Viaskin^® Patents or to Joint Patents, any decision with respect to (i) whether or not opting-out from the jurisdiction of the Unified Patent Court, (ii) whether or not withdrawing an opt-out from the jurisdiction of the Unified Patent Court or (iii) making any action which could have an effect on the possibility to bring a case before the Unified Patent Court or before a national court shall be first discussed by the JSC in accordance with Article 3.1.

(d) Settlement. No Party shall settle any claim, suit or action that it brings under this Section 9.3.2 involving in any manner that would, in the such Party’s reasonable judgment, materially and adversely impact the other Party or that would have the effect of diminishing any rights or licenses granted hereunder or that do not include a full and unconditional release from all liability of the other Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e) If either Party recovers monetary damages from any Third Party in a suit or action described in Section 9.3.2(b) or in a settlement described in Section 9.3.2 (d), such recovery shall be allocated first to the repayment of costs and expenses of the Party(ies) with respect to the action (on a pro rata basis). Any remaining recovery shall be allocated as follows:

(i)

if the recovery is based upon NESTEC’s lost profits, then NESTEC shall retain the recovery and pay to DBV the same royalties as set forth in Section 8.3;

(ii)

if the recovery is based upon the allocation of a reasonable royalty, the Enforcing Party shall retain [***] of such remaining recovery and shall remit [***] of such remaining recovery to the other Party.

9.4 Patent Oppositions and Other Proceedings.

9.4.1 By the Parties. Either Party may, at its own costs, bring an opposition, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference, declaration for non-infringement, reexamination, inter partes review or other attack upon the validity, title, or enforceability of a Patent owned or controlled by a Third Party that would (if valid) Cover the Licensed Product, provided that (i) such Party shall so notify the other Party and keep the other Party duly informed of the development and status of such action or proceedings, (ii) the Parties shall discuss in good faith the strategy and (iii) the Parties shall cooperate in good faith in bringing and handling such actions or proceedings. If thereafter a Licensed Patent becomes the subject of any proceeding commenced by any Third Party against which an action or proceeding has been initiated pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the provisions of Section 9.5 shall apply to the extent the defense of the proceedings, actions or claims referred to in Section 9.5 is concerned.

9.5 By Third Parties. If a Licensed Patent becomes the subject of any proceeding commenced by a Third Party in the Territory in connection with an opposition, reexamination request, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference, inter partes review or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability thereof, then DBV shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to control such defense at its sole cost and expense, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 9.2.1(a). DBV shall permit NESTEC to participate in the proceedings to the extent permissible under applicable Laws, and to be represented by its own counsel in such proceedings at NESTEC’s sole cost and expense, provided that (i) NESTEC shall cooperate in good faith with DBV in the proceedings and (ii) DBV retains at all times the sole right to direct and control such proceedings.

9.6 Third Party Claims. In the event of any claim, threat or suit by a Third Party against a Party that the use of the Licensed Products infringes any Third Party right, including Patents or other intellectual property rights of such Third Party (“Third Party Claim”), said Party shall inform the other Party of such Third Party Claim, and the Parties shall defend in close cooperation with each other against such Third Party Claim, provided that (i) each Party shall have the final right to control such defense, claim, threat, suit or settlement thereof if such Party is the sole defendant, and (ii) both Parties shall jointly control such defense, claim, threat or settlement thereof if the Parties are co-defendant and each Party shall bear its own costs incurred, including its internal costs. Notwithstanding the above, the provisions of Section 9.3.2(b) shall apply mutadis mutandis and, in defending or settling such claim, threat or suit, the Parties shall not make any admission that the Viaskin^® Patents are invalid or unenforceable. Subject to Section 8.3.3(a), the damages or other amounts that are awarded to a Third Party as a result of such suit for infringement of Third Party rights or settlement shall be borne equally by both Parties, whether they are co-defendants or not, irrespective of the Party which has been ordered to pay the damages or other amounts to such Third Party. NESTEC will be responsible to pay

to the Third Party any damages or other amounts ordered against it and ordered against both Parties jointly, provided however that in such case the payment reduction provided for in Section 8.3.3(e) shall apply. DBV will be responsible to pay to the Third Party any damages or other amounts ordered against it, provided however that in such case NESTEC shall promptly reimburse DBV such payments and the payment reduction provided for in Section 8.3.3(e) shall then apply.

9.7 Registration of License. DBV agrees that NESTEC may, if applicable, register its license under the Licensed Patents (other than the Viaskin^® Patents, which will be subject to specific consent from DBV on a case-by-case basis) with the Patent authorities in the Territories. NESTEC shall, at its expense, prepare and deliver to DBV such instruments and other documents reasonably necessary and in proper form for such registration. The Parties shall mutually agree on the form of documents to be used for such purpose, and shall cooperate to preserve confidentiality of this Agreement to the extent permitted under applicable Laws in the relevant country. DBV shall execute and return to NESTEC such instruments and documents within thirty (30) days from the receipt thereof.

9.8 Branding and Trademarks.

9.8.1 Branding. NESTEC shall brand the Licensed Products using a Trademark Controlled by NESTEC (a “NESTEC Trademark”).

(b) shall take all reasonable precautions necessary or prudent to prevent material in its possession or control that contains or refers to Discloser’s Confidential Information from being destroyed or lost, or discovered, received, used, intercepted or copied by any Third Party; and

(c) may disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information only to its Relatives, Affiliates, actual and potential Sublicensees, actual and potential collaborators, and actual and potential investors or acquirers, in each case solely to the extent reasonably necessary for the purposes of, and for those matters undertaken pursuant to, the performance of Recipient’s obligations and exercise of Recipient’s rights under this Agreement, and may disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information contained in reports provided by Discloser pursuant to this Agreement to Recipient’s actual and potential investors or acquirers; provided in each case that such Relatives, Affiliates, actual and potential Sublicensees, actual and potential collaborators and actual and potential investors or acquirers are bound by terms and conditions of confidentiality no less protective than the terms and conditions that bind Recipient hereunder; provided, however, that the duration of such terms and conditions of confidentiality for such recipients shall be no less than five (5) years.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that Recipient shall be liable for any breach of the confidentiality obligation under this Section 12.1 by any Person to whom Recipient discloses or otherwise provides access to the Discloser’s Confidential Information.

12.1.2 The obligations of confidentiality and non-use under this Section 12.1 shall not apply to, and Recipient shall have no further obligations under this Section 12.1 with respect to, any of Discloser Confidential Information, to the extent that Recipient can demonstrate that such Discloser Confidential Information:

Any combination of features or disclosures shall not be deemed to fall within the foregoing exclusions merely because individual features are published or available to the general public or in the rightful possession of Recipient unless the combination itself and principle of operation are published or available to the general public or in the rightful possession of Recipient.

12.1.3 Nothing herein shall prevent Recipient from disclosing any Discloser Confidential Information to the extent that such Discloser Confidential Information is required to be used or disclosed for the purposes of seeking or obtaining approvals for the Licensed Products from Regulatory Authorities, including Regulatory Approvals, or seeking or maintaining patent protection for Inventions it owns or has responsibility for prosecuting under ARTICLE IX.

12.2 Scientific Publication. The Parties acknowledge that each Party may have a legitimate interest in publishing in a journal, paper, magazine, present at professional meetings or make similar disclosures of information specifically related to the Licensed Product in the Field (“Results”) (“Scientific Publications”). Such Scientific Publications shall comply with widely accepted scientific standards.

Any draft Scientific Publication intended to be submitted for publication or other disclosure by one of the Parties hereto shall first be sent to the other Party, at least ninety (90) calendar days in advance of the submission for publication or other disclosure, in order to allow such Parties to review the publication or other disclosure. The other Parties shall have the right to object in order to preserve: (i) its intellectual property by delaying such publication, e.g., because the publication contains Results that are patentable or require protection under Article 21 of Regulation (EC) No. 1924/2006), (ii) its Confidential Information and/or (iii) its general communication strategy. In the event that a Party makes such an objection, the Parties shall negotiate an acceptable version and timing for the publication. The Party responsible for the Scientific Publication shall (i) refrain from making such presentation or publication until the Parties have filed patent application(s) directed to the patentable Results, or otherwise ensured protection for the Results (e.g. by making an application under Article 13.5 or 14 of Regulation (EC) No. 1924/2006) contained in the proposed presentation or publication; the other Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to file said patent application(s) or seek such protection within a period of sixty (60) calendar days from the date of the objection; and (ii) remove any Confidential Information of the other Parties from the proposed presentation or publication.

Each Party’s contribution shall be acknowledged in any publication by co-authorship or acknowledgment, whichever is appropriate in accordance with customary scientific practice. In case of joint publications, the citation order and respective functions of the authors (e.g. first author, last author, corresponding author) shall be determined in good faith by the Parties, in accordance with the rules applicable in the scientific community. Once approval has been granted for a particular disclosure, such disclosed information may be subsequently disclosed without requiring additional approval for each instance of disclosure.

For clarification, the aforementioned clauses do not restrict the obligations of the Parties according to applicable Law to publish or otherwise disclose results of Clinical Trials.

14.1.2 In addition, without prejudice to Section 15.2.1, DBV hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless NESTEC Indemnitees from and against any material breach by DBV or its Affiliates to comply with its/their respective applicable obligations under this Agreement.

14.3 Indemnification Procedure.

14.3.1 Each Party shall notify the other in the event it becomes aware of a Third Party Claim for which indemnification may be sought pursuant to this ARTICLE XIV.

In case any Claim (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Party or its Indemnitees in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this ARTICLE XIV, such Party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”); provided, that the failure to promptly provide an Indemnification Claim Notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations except, and only to the extent, that the Indemnifying Party is actually incrementally damaged as a result of such failure.

The Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall promptly meet to discuss how to respond to any claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of a Third Party Claim subject to indemnification as provided for in this Section 14.3 with competent counsel free of any conflict of interest with the Indemnified Party by giving written notice (a “Defense Election Notice”) to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the applicable Indemnification Claim Notice (the “Election Time Period”), solely for claims (a) that solely seek monetary damages and (b) as to which the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees in writing that, as between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the claim in full (the matters described in (a) and (b), the “Litigation Conditions”). If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver a Defense Election Notice to the Indemnified Party during the applicable Election Time Period, or if any Litigation Condition is not satisfied, the Indemnified Party will assume responsibility for and control such defense and, without limiting the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations, the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending itself.

14.3.2 Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 14.3, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to appoint competent counsel free of any conflict of interest with the Indemnified Party in the defense of the Third Party Claim. Should the Indemnifying Party assume and continue the defense of a Third Party Claim, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 14.3, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party after the date of assumption of defense in connection with the analysis, defense, countersuit or settlement of the Third Party Claim. Without limiting this Section 14.3, any Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of a Third Party Claim for which it has sought indemnification hereunder and to engage counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such engagement will be at the Indemnified Party’s own cost and expense unless (a) the engagement thereof has been specifically requested by the Indemnifying Party in writing, or (b) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume and actively further the defense and engage counsel in accordance with this Section 14.3 (in which case the Indemnified Party will control the defense), or (c) the Indemnifying Party no longer satisfies the Litigation Conditions.

14.3.3 Subject to the Litigation Conditions continuing to be satisfied, the Indemnifying Party will have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Damages, on such terms as the Indemnifying Party, in its reasonable discretion, will deem appropriate (provided, however, that such terms (a) shall include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto and (b) shall not include any admission of fault by, or impose any liability or obligation on, the Indemnified Party), and will transfer to the Indemnified Party all amounts which said Indemnified Party will be liable to pay pursuant to such settlement or disposal of such claim prior to the time such payments become due by the Indemnified Party. With respect to all other entries of judgment, entries into settlements or other dispositions of Damages in connection with a Third Party claim for which the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense in accordance with this Section 14.3, the Indemnifying Party will only have authority to consent to the entry of such judgment, entry into such settlement or such other disposition of Damages if it has obtained the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

14.3.4 The Indemnifying Party that has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 14.3 (and continues to maintain control of such defense pursuant to this Section 14.3) will not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of any Damages by an Indemnified Party that is reached without the prior written consent of such Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party will not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party claim without first offering to the Indemnifying Party the opportunity to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 14.3. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and will furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses including to the extent possible, former employees and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection with such Third Party Claim. Such cooperation will include access during normal business hours afforded to the Indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party claim, and making Relatives available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation.

(a) DBV will provide NESTEC with reasonable cooperation to transition to NESTEC the management and continued performance of any activities under the Work Plan (including clinical or other studies in progress) then being conducted by DBV or its Affiliates related to the Licensed Product which NESTEC determines (in compliance with applicable Laws and ethical guidelines) to continue.

(b) DBV will provide all reasonable assistance, within the limit of [***] following termination, required by NESTEC in order to make any Regulatory Filings that are necessary to continue to Commercialize the Licensed Product and will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to transfer to NESTEC any and all regulatory data and Know-How, and all other filings and submissions with and to Regulatory Authorities with respect to the Licensed Product.

15.3.4 Survival. Termination or expiration shall not relieve either Party from obligations which are expressly indicated to survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

15.3.5 Other Remedies. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall not release any Party from any liability or obligation that has accrued prior to such termination or expiration, nor affect the survival of any provision hereof to the extent it is expressly stated or by its nature is intended to survive termination or expiration.

17.14 Force Majeure.

17.14.1 No failure or delay by either Party in the performance of any obligation hereunder (other than any obligation to make a payment to the other Party) shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement nor create any liability for any damages, increased cost or losses which the other Party may sustain by reason of such failure or delay of performance, if the same shall arise from any event beyond that Party’s control, that is, an unpredictable and irresistible event (hereinafter “Force Majeure”).
