(“Adagio”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement or Amendment Number One. For clarity, “Invivyd” and “Adagio” refer to the same entity for purposes of this Amendment.
Background
WHEREAS, Invivyd wishes to obtain the right for its academic collaborator, [***], to submit for publication a scientific paper describing certain results of the [***] Discovery Campaign, including the sequences of [***] Antibodies that have been generated as part of the [***] Discovery Campaign (collectively, the “[***] Antibodies”), identified in Appendix A, without exercising the Option at the time of publication; and
Whereas, Xxxxxx wishes to permit such publication of the sequences of the [***] Antibodies without requiring Invivyd to exercise the Option at the time of such publication.
Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants set forth below, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Adimab and Invivyd hereby agree as follows:
“(c) the disclosure by Invivyd of the sequence of any Program-Benefited Antibody (including via Patent prosecution), except with respect to [***]”
[***]
“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary within this Agreement, disclosure of [***] shall not constitute designation of any of the antibodies within the Option exercised on [***], without express written notice of such designation from Invivyd to Adimab and, for clarity, the other triggers contained in clauses (a), (b) and (d) of Section 1.28 (“Evaluation Term”) shall continue to apply to [***].”
“(iii) Disclosed Antibody Sequences. (A) Neither Invivyd nor Adimab shall disclose the sequences of Program Antibodies or Program-Benefited Antibodies prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Term thereto without the prior written consent of the other Party, and Adimab shall not disclose the sequences of any Optioned Antibodies without the prior written consent of Invivyd. (B) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.4(b) (Program Antibody Patents), in the event that Invivyd publicly discloses the sequences of one or more Program Antibodies discovered in a Research Program (e.g., through the publication of a Program Patent), other than [***], without the prior written consent of Adimab, then the Option will be deemed to have been exercised with respect to such Research Program, the Program Antibodies for which the sequences were disclosed will be Optioned Antibodies, and Invivyd will promptly pay the applicable Option Fee. For the avoidance of doubt, publication of sequences of [***] will not be deemed an exercise of the Option as to the disclosed antibody sequences, and will not trigger payment of the Option Fee and, for clarity, the other triggers contained in clauses (a), (b) and (d) of Section 1.28 (“Evaluation Term”) shall continue to apply to [***].”
