For Licensor Administrative Purposes Only | ||
Changes to Standard Form Terms and Conditions | There have not been any revisions to Licensor’s standard form Terms and Conditions, except for revisions to the following sections: 1, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 3.1, 4, 5.4, 5.5, 6.1, 7.1, 7.3, 8, 9.2, 10, 11.1, 11.2, 12,13, 14, 15, 17, 19.4, and 19.8. |
20. Special Provision. The Parties hereby agree to the following special provisions (if any) set forth in this Section 20 with respect to this PTLA.
20.1 Milestone Definitions
“Phase I Clinical Trial” means any clinical study conducted to initially evaluate the safety, metabolism, pharmacologic actions, side effects associated with and if possible early evidence of effectiveness of Licensed Product in humans.
“Phase II Clinical Trial” means any clinical study conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Licensed Product for a particular indication or indications in patients with the disease or condition under study and to determine the common short-term side effects and risks associated with License Product
{00245154-1} Licensee: Cellectis | CONFIDENTIAL | Exclusive License (Life Sciences) | ||
Licensor: Ohio State Innoation Foundation A2014-1834 // CLS-14086 |
||||
NYI-524635066v1 |
||||
4 |
“Phase III Clinical Trial” means any clinical study conducted to gather the additional information about the effectiveness and safety that is needed to evaluate the overall benefit-risk relationship of Licensed Product.
“Regulatory Approval” means the approval needed by the Regulatory Authority for a particular national jurisdiction to market, Sell and use a Licensed Product or Licensed Service in that national jurisdiction.
“Regulatory Authority” means the governmental authority responsible for granting any necessary licenses or approvals for the marketing, Sale and use of a Licensed Product or Licensed Service in a particular national jurisdiction, including without limitation FDA, European Medicines Agency or Koseisho (i.e., the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare).
20.2 Stacking of Royalty Payments. In the event that a Licensed Product / Licensed Process cannot be used, developed, manufactured, marketed, and/or commercialized without infringing the issued patent or patents owned or controlled by a third party (“Third Party Patents”), and if Licensee (or its Affiliates and Sublicensees) pays a royalty to such third party for rights to use such Third Party Patents in connection with the Sale of Licensed Products / Licensed Processes (the “Third Party Royalty Payment”), then 50% of such Third Party Royalty Payment may be credited against the running royalties payable on the Net Sales for those Licensed Products which practice the Third Party Patents, but in no event shall such credits reduce the royalty rate payable to Licensor below 0.5% of such Net Sales.
By way of example, if Licensee makes a Third Party Royalty Payment under this Section of 1%, then a credit of 0.5% will be applied towards running royalties payable hereunder, reducing the royalties payable on Net Sales with respect to such Sale from 1.5% to 1.0%. If Licensee wishes to invoke this provision, written notification must be provided to Licensor indicating the identity of the Third Party, the rate of the Third Party Royalty Payment, and a description of the Third Party Patents that will be / are incorporated into the Licensed Product / Licensed Process. If such Third Party Patents license agreement with Licensee includes a royalty stacking provision of like intent to the present Section, the royalty rate reduction provided for in this section will be calculated as if such provision in such other license were absent. Any such deductions from Licensee shall be detailed to Licensor, upon Licensor’s request.
20.3 Milestone Extension Option. Licensee shall have the option to extend the deadlines for all those Milestone Events specified in said Section 2.4,3 in six (6) months increments with a maximum extension of two (2) years by paying the following milestone extension Fees:
lst six (6) month extension fee - $0 US
2nd six (6) month extension fee- $12,500 US
3rd six (6) month extension fee- $25,000 US
4th six (6) month extension fee- $50,000 US
This option may only be exercised at a time when Licensee is in compliance with all of its obligations under the Agreement, including having met all milestones with deadlines prior to the date such notice is given (without giving effect to the extension resulting from the exercise of such option). In order to exercise this option, Licensee must provide Licensor written notice of its exercise of this option accompanied by payment of the milestone extension fee. Such notice must contain an affirmation from the Licensee that it is in compliance with all of its obligations under the Agreement, that it is currently Diligently Commercializing Licensed Products or Licensed Services and that it reasonably expects to meet the milestone deadlines as extended by the exercise of such option. Upon such payment and exercise, each of the future milestones deadline dates shall be extended by the duration of the extension.
21. No Other Promises and Agreements: Representation by Counsel. Each Party expressly represents and warrants and does hereby state and represent that no promise or agreement which is not herein expressed has been made to it in executing this PTLA except those explicitly set forth herein and in the Terms and Conditions, and that such Party is not relying upon any statement or representation of the other Party or its representatives except those explicitly set forth herein and in the Terms and Conditions. Each Party is relying on its own judgment and has had the opportunity to be represented by a legal counsel. Each Party hereby represents and warrants that it understands and agrees to all terms and conditions set forth in this PTLA and said Terms and Conditions.

For each Sublicensee, Licensee shall obtain such audit rights for itself and use reasonable efforts to obtain audit rights for Licensor.

All information examined pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall be deemed to be the Confidential Information of the Licensee. |
