2.1. Grant. As of the Effective Date, subject to Section 2.2 and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, MedImmune hereby grants to Spinco an exclusive (as between MedImmune and Spinco) sublicense under the licenses granted to MedImmune under Section 2.1(ii) of the BioWa License Agreement, solely for the purpose of Exploiting the Product in the Field in the Territory in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Spinco shall not grant any sublicense under the rights granted to it by MedImmune hereunder without the prior written approval of MedImmune and, if required, BioWa; provided that if BioWa has consented to such sublicense in writing Spinco shall provide a copy of such consent to MedImmune and MedImmune’s consent shall not be required.

2.2. Application of BioWa License Agreement. The sublicenses granted by MedImmune in Section 2.1 and any right of Spinco to grant a further sublicense thereunder shall be subject and subordinate to the terms and conditions of the BioWa License Agreement and shall be effective solely to the extent permitted under the terms of the BioWa License Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, to the extent that the BioWa License Agreement requires that particular terms or conditions of the BioWa License Agreement be contained or incorporated in any agreement granting a sublicense thereunder, such terms and conditions are hereby deemed to be incorporated herein by reference.

2.3. Maintenance of the BioWa License Agreement.

2.3.1. MedImmune covenants to Spinco that:

(a) To the extent not expressly delegated to or assumed by Spinco as provided in this Agreement, MedImmune shall fulfill all of its material obligations, including its payment obligations, under the BioWa License Agreement to the extent that failure to do so would have an adverse effect on or would reasonably be expected to adversely affect Spinco’s rights or obligations under this Agreement; and

(b) MedImmune shall not amend, waive, take an action or omit to taking any action that would alter or otherwise modify any of MedImmune’s rights under, or violate or breach, the terms of the BioWa License Agreement during the term of this Agreement, in each case in a manner that would have an adverse effect on or would reasonably be expected to adversely affect Spinco’s rights or obligations under this Agreement and shall not terminate the BioWa License Agreement, in whole, or with respect to the Second Target (CD-19), in each case without Spinco’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that MedImmune shall not be required to make any payments to BioWa with respect to the Exploitation of the Product if Spinco is in breach of its payment obligations hereunder and MedImmune may terminate the BioWa License Agreement with respect to the Product if Spinco is in breach of its obligations under Article 3 and fails to remedy such breach within thirty (30) days following its receipt of written notice thereof from MedImmune. MedImmune shall promptly notify Spinco of any default under, termination or amendment of the BioWa License Agreement to the extent relevant to Spinco’s rights or obligations under this Agreement.

2.3.2. MedImmune represents and warrants that as of the Effective Date:

(a) MedImmune is entitled to grant the rights and licenses granted to Spinco under this Agreement; and

(b) MedImmune has provided to Spinco an accurate, true and complete copy of the BioWa License Agreement, including all amendments thereto, and to MedImmune’s knowledge the BioWa License Agreement is in full force and effect, MedImmune has not received any notice that it is in breach of the BioWa License Agreement and none of the parties to the BioWa License Agreement is in breach thereof.

2.4. Restrictions on Use and Transfer of 551 Cell Line. Spinco acknowledges that the cells comprising the 551 Cell Line are Transfected Potelligent^™ Cells as defined in the BioWa License Agreement. The 551 Cell Line is subject to the restrictions as set out in the BioWa License Agreement and Article 5. Spinco may use the 551 Cell Line to express Product solely in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and for no other purpose. For clarity, Biological Materials (as defined in the APA) shall not include any Potelligent^™ Cells.

2.5. No Other Rights Granted by MedImmune. Except as expressly provided herein and without limiting the foregoing, MedImmune grants no other right or license not otherwise expressly granted herein.

ARTICLE 3

ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES

3.1. General. On and after the Effective Date and as between MedImmune and Spinco and subject to the Transaction Agreements (as defined in the APA), Spinco shall assume responsibility for the Exploitation of the Product and MedImmune and its Affiliates shall have no rights with respect to the Exploitation of the Product except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Agreements. Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as the other Party may reasonably require to ensure that the other Party can comply with its obligations under the BioWa License Agreement.

3.2. Financial Obligations.

3.2.1. Assumption of Liability. As consideration for MedImmune granting the sublicense to Spinco in accordance with Section 2.1, Spinco shall be responsible for and shall pay to MedImmune for further payment to BioWa (or, if applicable, to reimburse MedImmune if MedImmune has made a payment to BioWa after the Effective Date that, as between the Parties pursuant to this Agreement, is Spinco’s responsibility), or (if directed in writing by MedImmune) to BioWa, all amounts that are paid or payable by MedImmune to BioWa under the BioWa License Agreement with respect to the Exploitation of the Product by Spinco, its Affiliates or sublicensees after the Effective Date, including any royalty or milestone payments due solely with respect to the Exploitation of the Product under Section 3.2 of the BioWa License Agreement; provided that Spinco shall not be required to pay or make any contribution to the annual Maintenance Fee payable in accordance with Section 3.2.1 of the BioWa License Agreement but shall not receive the benefit of any credit MedImmune may receive in connection with its payment of such Maintenance Fee.

3.2.2. Reductions and Calculations. The payment obligations assumed by Spinco under Section 3.2.1 will be calculated in accordance with the BioWa License Agreement and subject to the same reductions, step-downs or any other deductions and limitations to such reductions, step-downs or other deductions, to which MedImmune has a right under the BioWa License Agreement such that Spinco shall pay to MedImmune an amount that is equal to the amount that is paid or payable by MedImmune to BioWa under the BioWa License Agreement solely with respect to Exploitation of the Product by Spinco, its Affiliates or sublicensees.

3.2.3. Payments and Reports. Unless otherwise directed by MedImmune, Spinco shall pay all amounts that become due for payment in accordance with Section 3.2.1 and provide any required related reports (including reports described in Section 3.5 of the BioWa License Agreement and Commercial Reports pursuant to Section 4.8 of the BioWa License Agreement) under the BioWa License Agreement solely with respect to the Product to MedImmune or (if directed in writing by MedImmune) to BioWa, in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article 3 and Section 4.8 of the BioWa License Agreement as if Spinco were a party thereto in place of MedImmune and references to BioWa were to MedImmune; provided, that Spinco shall pay all such amounts and provide such required reports to MedImmune at least [***] ([***]) [***] in advance of the due date for such payment or report under the BioWa License Agreement, so that MedImmune shall in turn satisfy its payment and reporting obligations to BioWa under the BioWa License Agreement in accordance with the requirements thereof. Subject to the foregoing, MedImmune shall be responsible for the timely payment of any amounts due under the BioWa License Agreement, and in the event that MedImmune has timely received the payment from Spinco but fails to make the corresponding payment with respect to the Product when due under the BioWa License Agreement, Spinco shall have the right to make such payment on behalf of MedImmune. In such event, MedImmune shall promptly reimburse Spinco any such amounts paid by Spinco or, at Spinco’s election, Spinco may offset such amounts paid by Spinco against any future amounts payable to MedImmune hereunder.

3.2.4. Records and Audit. Spinco shall keep records as described in Section 3.6 of the BioWa License Agreement solely with respect to the Product and shall grant MedImmune rights to audit such records and books consistent with BioWa’s rights to audit MedImmune pursuant to such section and MedImmune shall have the right to disclose the results of any such audit to BioWa.

3.2.5. Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, Article X of the APA shall govern all matters relating to Tax with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

3.2.6. Interest. If either Party fails to pay any amount payable under this Agreement by the due date for such payment, then interest shall accrue on that amount for the period beginning on the due date for payment and ending on the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at the rate of [***] ([***]) [***] from time to time, and in any event in the case of amounts owed by Spinco, not less than the amount payable under Section 3.3 of the BioWa License Agreement. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days and for the actual number of days elapsed, shall accrue from day to day, and shall be compounded quarterly. For clarity, in the event Spinco makes a timely payment to MedImmune and MedImmune fails to pay timely the corresponding payment to BioWa, Spinco shall not be obligated to pay any interest under the BioWa License Agreement to the extent resulting from such late payment by MedImmune.

3.3. Compliance with Applicable Law. In exercising its rights and performing its obligations under this Agreement, Spinco shall comply in all material respects with applicable laws, regulations and guidelines (including cGMP with respect to Product that will be administered in humans or animals). MedImmune shall perform its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and guidelines.

ARTICLE 4

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

4.1. Ownership and Prosecution of Intellectual Property. Sections 6.1 through 6.7 (inclusive) of the BioWa License Agreement shall apply to inventions and Improvements made by Spinco (solely or jointly with BioWa, as applicable), as it applies to inventions and Improvements made by MedImmune (solely or jointly with BioWa, as applicable) and Spinco shall provide notice, make disclosures (or cause such disclosures to be made), keep records, assist BioWa, assign such Improvements to BioWa (as applicable), execute documents and be responsible for costs and expenses as described therein, and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested to enable BioWa to prosecute and maintain such inventions and Improvements, in each case as if Spinco were a party thereto in the place of MedImmune. Inventorship shall be determined in accordance with U.S. law.

4.2. Infringement of BioWa Patent Rights. Each Party shall immediately notify the other Party upon becoming aware of any Enforcement Action and, solely to the extent relating to the Product (and not any product Exploited by MedImmune), MedImmune shall, at Spinco’s request and cost and subject to Spinco providing MedImmune with a suitable indemnity, use reasonable endeavors to enable Spinco to exercise MedImmune’s rights (if any) to join an action or take action as provided in Section 6.8 of the BioWa License Agreement. Any damages recovered by Spinco shall be retained by Spinco and reported as Net Sales (less equivalent deductions to those permitted by MedImmune under Section 6.9 of the BioWa License Agreement).

4.3. Infringement of Third-Party Rights. If any warning letter or other notice of infringement is received by a Spinco, or any action, suit or proceeding is brought against Spinco, in each case alleging infringement of a patent of any Third Party in any aspect arising out of any activities by Spinco, its Affiliates or sublicensees with respect to the use of the 551 Cell Line in the development, manufacture, use, importation or sale of the Product, Spinco shall promptly notify MedImmune. At MedImmune’s request, Spinco will promptly discuss with BioWa the best way to proceed and as between MedImmune and Spinco, Spinco shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to take such action as it determines, in its discretion, appropriate.

ARTICLE 5

CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-DISCLOSURE

5.1. BioWa Confidential Information.

5.2. Permitted Use and Disclosures. Without limiting Section 5.1, Spinco shall notify MedImmune of proposed disclosures, take into reasonable consideration MedImmune’s comments with respect thereto, seek to minimize disclosure, protect confidentiality and adhere to the publications procedures, as described in Article 7 of the BioWa License Agreement as if Spinco were a party thereto as the receiving party thereunder.

5.3. Public Disclosure. Spinco shall not issue a press release or make any other public disclosure of the terms of the BioWa License Agreement without the prior written approval of MedImmune.

5.4. Spinco Confidential Information.

6.6. Insurance. Spinco shall have and maintain such types and amounts of insurance covering its Exploitation of each Product as (i) is normal and customary in the pharmaceutical industry generally for parties similarly situated; (ii) would normally be insured against by a prudent business in connection with the risks associated with this Agreement; and (iii) is otherwise required by Law but in any event is no less than as described in Section 8.2 of the BioWa License Agreement as if it were a party thereto in place of MedImmune. Within [***] ([***]) [***] of written request by MedImmune, Spinco shall provide to MedImmune evidence of its relevant insurance coverage.

ARTICLE 7

TERM AND TERMINATION

7.1. Term and Expiration. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 7.2, shall continue in effect until expiration or termination of the BioWa License Agreement with respect to the Product. For the avoidance of doubt, when MedImmune’s license under the BioWa License Agreement with respect to the Product becomes fully paid-up, non-exclusive and perpetual, Spinco’s license granted under this Agreement with respect to the Product shall become fully paid-up, non-exclusive and perpetual.

7.2. Termination.

7.2.1. Either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the other Party if such other Party materially breaches this Agreement, or such other Party, its Affiliates or sublicensees takes or fails to take any action that if such action had been taken or failed to be taken by MedImmune, would constitute a material breach of the BioWa License Agreement as further described in Section 9.3 of the BioWa License Agreement, and in either case fails to remedy such breach within sixty (60) days following its receipt of written notice thereof from such Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Party disputes in good faith a breach alleged by the other Party pursuant to this Section 7.2.1 by written notice to such other Party within such [***] ([***])-[***] period, such other Party shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement unless it has been determined that this Agreement was materially breached in accordance with Section 7.2.2, and such Party fails to comply with its obligations alleged to have been breached within [***] ([***]) [***] after such determination.

7.2.2. Either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice if the other Party (a) voluntarily declares or seeks protection under bankruptcy or insolvency laws, (b) has an involuntary petition in bankruptcy filed against it, which petition is not dismissed within [***] ([***]) [***] following it filing, (c) has its business placed in the hands of a receiver or trustee and the appointment of such receiver or trustee if not dissolved within [***] ([***]) [***], (d) ceases to exist as an active business or (e) suffers any other event described in Section 9.4 of the BioWa License Agreement.

7.2.3. Spinco may terminate this Agreement for any reason upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to MedImmune.

7.2.4. This Agreement shall automatically terminate on termination of the BioWa License Agreement in its entirety or with respect to the Second Target (CD19), for any reason; provided, that if Spinco is not in breach of this Agreement, MedImmune shall, at Spinco’s request, promptly designate Spinco as a Sublicensee pursuant to Section 9.5(c) of the BioWa License Agreement and use reasonable efforts to assist Spinco in obtaining a direct license from BioWa with respect to the Product.

7.2.5. Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement from MedImmune to Spinco are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any non-U.S. equivalent thereof, licenses of right to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. MedImmune agrees that Spinco, as sublicensee of certain rights and licenses under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any non-U.S. equivalent thereof; provided, that any such sublicense shall continue to be subject to the BioWa License Agreement. MedImmune further agrees that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against MedImmune under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Law governing MedImmune, subject to Section 7.2.4, Spinco shall have the right to retain any and all rights and licenses granted to it hereunder, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law (such as under Sections 365(n)(1) and 365(n)(2) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any non-U.S. equivalent thereof), unless MedImmune (or its bankruptcy trustee) elects to assume this Agreement and continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement.

7.2.6. Effect of Termination.

(a) Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, each Party shall promptly return to the other Party all of such other Party’s Confidential Information, however, that counsel of such Party may retain one (1) copy of such Confidential Information for archival purposes and for ensuring compliance with its confidentiality obligations hereunder.

(b) In the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Spinco shall have the option to sell or otherwise distribute the inventory of any Products then on hand until the first anniversary of the effective date of such termination pursuant to the licenses granted hereunder. If such option is exercised, such sale or distribution shall be subject to the relevant terms of this Agreement. For clarity, Section 3.2 shall continue to apply to any inventory of Product sold by Spinco.

(c) Subject to Spinco’s rights relating to inventory in subsection (b), upon termination of this Agreement, Spinco shall promptly destroy all Transfected Potelligent Cells as well as all Product (subject to subsection (b)), in each case that is in the possession, ownership or control of Spinco.

(d) The licenses granted to Spinco in this Agreement shall terminate upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement and Spinco shall cease all use of confidential BioWa Know-How.

(e) Sub-clauses (c) and (d) of this Section 7.2.6 shall not apply if BioWa confirms that (i) it has granted Spinco a direct license in accordance with Section 9.5(c) of the BioWa License Agreement and that (ii) the corresponding provisions in the BioWa License Agreement do not apply to Spinco.

7.3. Accrued Rights. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall be without prejudice to any rights that shall have accrued to the benefit of a Party prior to such termination or expiration. Such termination or expiration shall not relieve a Party from obligations that are expressly or by implication intended to come into or continue in force on termination or expiry of this Agreement, and Articles 3 (solely to the extent applicable to payments accruing prior to termination or pursuant to Section 7.2.6(b)), 5, 6 and 8 and Sections 2.4, 4.1, 7.2.5, 7.2.6, and 7.3 shall remain in full force and effect.

8.4. No Benefit to Third Parties. With the exception of Sections 3.1 and 3.2.1 that are drafted for the benefit of BioWa and, accordingly, may be enforced by BioWa, the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, and, except for the rights of any indemnified person under Article 6, they shall not be construed as conferring any rights on any other persons.

8.5. Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. The waiver by either Party of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by said other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by applicable Law or otherwise available except as expressly set forth herein.

8.6. Assignment.

8.6.1. No Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, directly or indirectly (by operation of Law or otherwise), without the prior written approval of the other Party and any attempted assignment without such required approval shall be null, void and of no effect; provided, however, that (a) MedImmune may assign its rights, interests or obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of MedImmune or to any successor in interest (whether by merger, acquisition, asset purchase or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business to which this Agreement relates, in each case without Spinco’s prior written approval and (b) Spinco may assign its rights, interests, and obligations hereunder (in whole and not in part) to a wholly owned Affiliate of Spinco without MedImmune’s prior written approval. In addition, following the earlier to occur of (c) the consummation in full of the Milestone Closing (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and (d) the consummation of a Qualified IPO (as defined in the Restated Certificate (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)), Spinco may assign

its applicable rights, interests, and obligations hereunder related to the Product to a Third Party without MedImmune’s prior written approval, so long as (i) such assignment shall be in connection with the divestment by Spinco of all or substantially all of the assets relating to the Product (whether by asset purchase or exclusive out-license), (ii) in connection therewith, Spinco also assigns to such Third Party its applicable rights, interests, and obligations under the other Transaction Agreements related to the Product, and (iii) proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Spinco shall succeed to Spinco’s applicable rights and obligations set forth herein and therein. Furthermore, if Spinco or any of its successors or assigns (e) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (f) transfers, licenses or conveys all or substantially all of its rights and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Spinco may assign its rights, interests and obligations hereunder (in whole and not in part) to such Person without the prior written approval of MedImmune so long as in connection therewith Spinco (i) also assigns to such Person all of its applicable rights, interests, and obligations under the other Transaction Agreements, and (ii) ensures that proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Spinco shall succeed to Spinco’s rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no assignment or succession pursuant to this Section 8.6.1 shall relieve the assigning Party or predecessor Party of its obligations hereunder. Upon any permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to a Party shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

8.6.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Party assigns its rights or obligations under this Agreement or otherwise makes payments from a jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction in which such Party is organized (each, an “Assignment”), and immediately after such Assignment the amount of Tax required to be withheld on any payment pursuant to this Agreement is greater than the amount of such Tax that would have been required to have been withheld absent such Assignment, then such increased withholding tax shall be borne by the Party making such Assignment.

8.7. Amendment. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or supplemented except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by both Parties.

8.8. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of either Party under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision shall be fully severable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and reasonably acceptable to the Parties.

8.9. English Language. This Agreement shall be written and executed in, and all other communications under or in connection with this Agreement shall be in, the English language. Any translation into any other language shall not be an official version thereof, and in the event of any conflict in interpretation between the English version and such translation, the English version shall control.

8.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart hereof shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

8.11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, along with the attached Schedule, together with the APA, the Transition Services Agreement (together with the Schedules and Exhibits expressly contemplated thereby and attached thereto), the Disclosure Schedules, the other Transaction Agreements and the other agreements, certificates and documents delivered in connection with the APA or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, contain the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, promises and representations, whether written or oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. In the event of any inconsistency between any such Schedules and Exhibits and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, the APA shall control.

8.12. Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

TERM AND TERMINATION

9.1 Term and Expiration.

(a) The term of this Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date and unless terminated earlier pursuant to this Section 9, this Agreement shall continue in effect until the earlier of [***] ([***]) [***] or expiration of all royalty and milestone payment obligations hereunder (the “Term”).

Upon such termination, the licenses granted by BioWa pursuant to Article 2 shall terminate with regard to such Terminated Target(s) but remain in force for the remaining Target(s) and Licensed Product that binds thereto.

CONFIDENTIAL

9.3 Termination for Cause.

(a) In the event a Party has materially breached in the performance of any of its payment obligations hereunder or MedImmune has materially breached its obligations under Section 8.1 or the applicable party has materially breached Section 2.2 with respect to the limitation on sublicensing, Section 3.6 with respect to auditing rights; Section 4.3 with respect to destruction of cells; Section 4.8; Section 6.2 with respect to patent prosecution assistance provided that such material breach has a material adverse effect on the ability to prosecute; Section 6.8.1 with respect to notice of enforcement actions provided that such material breach has a material adverse economic effect on the non-breaching party; Section 6.10 with respect to assisting with patent enforcement provided that such material breach has a material adverse effect on the non-breaching party’s ability to enforce a patent; Section 10.2 provided that such material breach prevents the breaching party from complying with its patent assignment obligations under this Agreement, and the breaching Party has not made such payment and/or cured such breach, as the case may be, within [***] ([***]) [***] following its receipt of written notice thereof from the non-breaching Party, the non-breaching Party may immediately terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other Party with it being understood that if the breach results from an act required to be performed at a specified time or during a specified period, such breach may be cured by performing the act during the cure period. Notwithstanding the above, in the case of a failure to pay timely any amounts due hereunder, the period for cure of any such breach by making such payment shall be [***] ([***]) [***] following the non-breaching Party’s delivery of notice thereof and, unless payment is made within such ten ([***]) [***] the non-breaching Party may thereafter immediately terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other Party. Further, if such uncured material breach involves only a specific Licensed Product, then the Agreement may be terminated only as to the rights relating to such Licensed Product.

9.5 Effect of Termination.

(a) Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall not (i) release either Party from any liability which, at the time of such termination or expiration, has already accrued or which is attributable to a period prior to such termination or expiration or (ii) preclude either Party from pursuing any rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity with respect to any breach of, or default under, this Agreement. The Parties understand and agree that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement and that the non-breaching Party may be entitled to seek injunctive relief as a partial remedy for any such breach.

(b) Upon termination of this Agreement with respect to Licensed Products against a Target, subject to Section 9.5(a) and Section 9.7, MedImmune shall no longer have any payment obligations with respect to such Target and Licensed Products that bind to such Target.

(c) In the event that MedImmune’s licenses under this Agreement are terminated in one or more countries, with respect to one or more Licensed Products, and a sublicense has been granted under this Agreement under any such license with respect to such Licensed Product in such country, then BioWa agrees to grant to each Sublicensee designated by MedImmune (other than an Affiliate of MedImmune) a direct license to such Sublicensee with respect to such Licensed Products, in such countries under the terms and

9.7 Inventory on Hand. In the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason, MedImmune and its Sublicensees shall have the option to sell or otherwise distribute the inventory of any Licensed Product then on hand until the first anniversary of the effective date of such termination pursuant to the licenses granted hereunder. If such option is exercised, such sale or distribution shall be subject to the relevant terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the payment of Royalties thereon).

9.8 Destruction of Biological Materials. Subject to Med Immune’s and its Sublicensee’s rights relating to inventory on hand, upon termination of this Agreement, MedImmune shall promptly destroy all Potelligent^™ Cells, and all Transfected Potelligent^™ Cells as well as all Antibodies (subject to Section 9.7 above), in each case that is in the possession, ownership or control of MedImmune or its Affiliates, and, upon request of BioWa, an officer of MedImmune shall provide BioWa with written certification thereof.

9.9 Licenses. The Licenses granted to MedImmune in this Agreement shall terminate upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement and, in such event, MedImmune shall cease, and cause its agents, Affiliates and Sublicensees to cease, all use of confidential BioWa Know-How.
