The previous sentence will not apply to any HHMI Claim that is determined with finality by a court of competent jurisdiction to result solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an HHMI Indemnitee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, CORPORATION’s obligation to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the HHMI Indemnitees under this paragraph will not be subject to any limitation or exclusion of liability or damages or otherwise limited in any way.

Any false or misleading statements made, presented, or submitted to the Government, including any relevant omissions, under this Agreement and during the course of negotiation of this Agreement are subject to all applicable civil and criminal statutes including Federal statutes 31 U.S.C. 03801-3812 (civil liability) and 18 U.S.C. §1001 (criminal liability including fine(s) or imprisonment).

APPENDIX A — ROYALTY PAYMENT OPTIONS

[***]

[***]

APPENDIX B — HHMI LICENSING PROVISIONS

Any licenses granted by the Institution under this Agreement shall include the following HI•IMI licensing provisions, where University shall mean Institution:

1.    Identification of HHMI Investigators

If inventors are named in the license, HHMI investigators and HHMI inventor/employees should be properly identified as employees of the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Medical Institute doing research at the HHMI laboratory at the University.

Example: The invention was made by Dr. __________, an employee of the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Medical Institute and a faculty member at the University.

2.    Scope of Rights

HI-IMI requires that the scope of rights in future technology granted under a license not go beyond the following:

“Patent rights” shall mean and include all of the following intellectual property of the University:

The United States patents and/or patent applications listed in Appendix A [to the license]; United States patents issued from the applications listed in Appendix A and from divisionals and continuations of these applications and any reissues of such United States patents; claims of continuation-in-part applications and patents directed to subject matter specifically described in the applications listed in Appendix A; and claims of all foreign patent applications, patents, and other intellectual property which are directed to subject matter specifically described in the United States patents and/or patent applications listed in Appendix A.

3.    HHMI Research Use License

The license must reflect the fact that HHMI retains an institution-wide, paid-up, non-exclusive irrevocable license to use the intellectual property for its research purposes (without the right to sublicense or assign) by including the following:

Licensee acknowledges that it has been informed that the [licensed technology] was developed, at least in part, by employees of HHMI and that HHMI has a paid-up, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to use the [licensed technology] for HHMI’s research purposes, but with no right to assign or sublicense (the “HHMI License”). This license is explicitly made subject to the HHMI License.

When exclusive licenses are being negotiated, HHMI’s research tools policies must be considered. If research tools developed in an HHMI laboratory (including software) are to be licensed on an exclusive basis, unless otherwise agreed by IIHMI, HHMI requires that the

University establish a licensing plan acceptable to HHMI showing how the research tools will be made available to the research community on reasonably acceptable terms.

4.    Indemnification

HHMI requires that it and its trustees, officers, employees and agents be indemnified and held harmless by licensees against claims based on or arising out of the license. The following is the indemnification provision that MIMI requires in licenses.

Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Medical Institute (“HHMI”), and its trustees, officers, employees, and agents (collectively, “HHMI Indemnitees”), will be indemnified, defended by counsel acceptable to HHMI, and held harmless by [the licensee, sublicensee, or other contracting party] from and against any claim, liability, cost, expense, damage, deficiency, loss, or obligation, of any kind or nature (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses of defense) (collectively, “Claims”), based upon, arising out of, or otherwise relating to this [license, sublicense, or other contract or agreement], including without limitation any cause of action relating to product liability. The previous sentence will not apply to any Claim that is determined with finality by a court of competent jurisdiction to result solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an HHMI Indemnitee.

HIIMI’s indemnification must survive termination indefinitely.

HHMI’s required indemnification language does not provide a right to receive notice of claims or to settle claims. If the licensee requires the right to settle claims against HHMI and/or to receive notice of claims, then the following provisions should be added.

An indemnified party shall provide Licensee with prompt notice of any claim for which indemnification may be sought pursuant to this Agreement. In the case of any HHMI Indemnitee, notice shall be given reasonably promptly following actual receipt of written notice thereof by an officer or attorney of HHMI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delay or failure of [any indemnified party] [ally HHMI Indemnitee] to give reasonably prompt notice to Licensee of any such claim shall not affect the rights of such [HHMI Indemnitee] [indemnified party) unless, and then only to the extent that, such delay or failure is prejudicial to or otherwise adversely affects Licensee.

Licensee agrees not to settle any Claim against an HHMI Indemnitee without HHMI’s written consent, where (a) such settlement would include any admission of liability on the part of any HHMI Indemnitee, (b) such settlement would impose any restriction oil any HHMI indemnitee’s conduct of any of its activities, or (c) such settlement would not include an unconditional release of all HHMI lndemnitees from all liability for claims that are the subject matter of the settled Claim.

5.    Insurance

HHMI asks for the same insurance protection as the University receives in any license. This insurance protection should survive termination.

Licensee shall have the insurance coverage set forth below. Such coverage shall be purchased from a carrier or carriers having an A. M. Best rating of at least A- (A minus) and shall name the University and IIHMI as additional insureds.

6.    HHMI Third-Party Beneficiary Status

The license should describe HMI’s status and rights as a third-party beneficiary as follows:

HHMI is not a party to this Agreement and has no liability to any licensee, sublicensee, or user of anything covered by this Agreement, but HHMI is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and certain of its provisions are for the benefit of HI1M1 and are enforceable by HHMI in its own name.

7.    Arbitration

HHMI does not permit the provisions in the license governing its rights to be subject to binding arbitration. Accordingly, if the licensee requires that all parties submit to binding arbitration, disputes relating to HHMI’s rights must be carved out of the requirements. The following is model language to exclude HHMI’s rights from a binding arbitration provision.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no dispute affecting the rights or property of HHMI shall be subject to the arbitration provisions set forth above.

8.    Sublicenses

HHMI requires that sublicensces be bound by the obligations in the sections of the License on indemnification, insurance and HHMI’s third party beneficiary status, in accordance with the following:

Licensee shall have the right to grant sublicenses consistent with this Agreement, which sublicenses shall include, without limitation, a provision binding sublicensees to all terms hereof intended for the protection of the University and other indemnified parties, including HHMI, against liability or loss.

9.    Use of Name Provision

The University shall include one of the two following provisions:

LICENSEE acknowledges that under HHMI policy, LICENSEE may not use the name of HHMI or of any HHMI employee (including Dr. [Investigator Name]) in a manner that reasonably could constitute an endorsement of a commercial product or service; but that use for other purposes, even if commercially motivated, is permitted provided that (1) the use is limited to accurately reporting factual events or occurrences, and (2) any reference

to the name of HHMI or any MIMI employees in press releases or similar materials intended for public release is approved by HHMI in advance.

LICENSEE may use Dr. _____’s name so long as any such usage (i) is limited to reporting factual events or occurrences only, and (ii) is made in a manner that could not reasonably constitute an endorsement of LICENSEE or of any LICENSEE program, product or service. However, LICENSEE shall not use Dr._____’s name or the Institute’s name in any press release, or quote Dr._____ in any company materials, or otherwise use Dr. _____’s name or the Institute’s name in a manner not specifically permitted by the preceding sentence, unless in each case LICENSEE obtains in advance the written consent of the Institute, and, in the case of the use of Dr. _____’s name, Dr. _____’s consent as well.

Any false or misleading statements made, presented, or submitted to the Government, including any relevant omissions, under this Agreement and during the course of negotiation of this Agreement are subject to all applicable civil and criminal statutes including Federal statutes 31 U.S.C. 03801-3812 (civil liability) and 18 U.S.C. §1001 (criminal liability including fine(s) or imprisonment).

APPENDIX A — ROYALTY PAYMENT OPTIONS

[***]

APPENDIX B — HHMI LICENSING PROVISIONS

Any licenses granted by the Institution under this Agreement shall include the following HI•IMI licensing provisions, where University shall mean Institution:

1.    Identification of HHMI Investigators

If inventors are named in the license, HHMI investigators and HHMI inventor/employees should be properly identified as employees of the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Medical Institute doing research at the HHMI laboratory at the University.

Example: The invention was made by Dr. __________, an employee of the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Medical Institute and a faculty member at the University.

2.    Scope of Rights

HHMI requires that the scope of rights in future technology granted under a license not go beyond the following:

“Patent rights” shall mean and include all of the following intellectual property of the University:

The United States patents and/or patent applications listed in Appendix A [to the license]; United States patents issued from the applications listed in Appendix A and from divisionals and continuations of these applications and any reissues of such United States patents; claims of continuation-in-part applications and patents directed to subject matter specifically described in the applications listed in Appendix A; and claims of all foreign patent applications, patents, and other intellectual property which are directed to subject matter specifically described in the United States patents and/or patent applications listed in Appendix A.

3.    HHMI Research Use License

The license must reflect the fact that HHMI retains an institution-wide, paid-up, non-exclusive irrevocable license to use the intellectual property for its research purposes (without the right to sublicense or assign) by including the following:

Licensee acknowledges that it has been informed that the [licensed technology] was developed, at least in part, by employees of HHMI and that HHMI has a paid-up, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to use the [licensed technology] for IIHMI’s research purposes, but with no right to assign or sublicense (the “HHMI License”). This license is explicitly made subject to the HHMI License.

When exclusive licenses are being negotiated, HHMI’s research tools policies must be considered. If research tools developed in an HHMI laboratory (including software) are to be licensed on an exclusive basis, unless otherwise agreed by HHMI, HHMI requires that the

University establish a licensing plan acceptable to HHMI showing how the research tools will be made available to the research community on reasonably acceptable terms.

4.    Indemnification

HHMI requires that it and its trustees, officers, employees and agents be indemnified and held harmless by licensees against claims based on or arising out of the license. The following is the indemnification provision that HHMI requires in licenses.

Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Medical Institute (“HHMI”), and its trustees, officers, employees, and agents (collectively, “HHMI Indemnitees”), will be indemnified, defended by counsel acceptable to HHMI, and held harmless by [the licensee, sublicensee, or other contracting party] from and against any claim, liability, cost, expense, damage, deficiency, loss, or obligation, of any kind or nature (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses of defense) (collectively, “Claims”), based upon, arising out of, or otherwise relating to this [license, sublicense, or other contract or agreement], including without limitation any cause of action relating to product liability. The previous sentence will not apply to any Claim that is determined with finality by a court of competent jurisdiction to result solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an HHMI Indemnitee.

HIIMI’s indemnification must survive termination indefinitely.

HHMI’s required indemnification language does not provide a right to receive notice of claims or to settle claims. If the licensee requires the right to settle claims against HHMI and/or to receive notice of claims, then the following provisions should be added.

An indemnified party shall provide Licensee with prompt notice of any claim for which indemnification may be sought pursuant to this Agreement. In the case of any HHMI Indemnitee, notice shall be given reasonably promptly following actual receipt of written notice thereof by an officer or attorney of HHMI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delay or failure of [any indemnified party] [ally HHMI Indemnitee] to give reasonably prompt notice to Licensee of any such claim shall not affect the rights of such [HHMI Indemnitee] [indemnified party) unless, and then only to the extent that, such delay or failure is prejudicial to or otherwise adversely affects Licensee.

Licensee agrees not to settle any Claim against an HHMI Indemnitee without HHMI’s written consent, where (a) such settlement would include any admission of liability on the part of any HHMI Indemnitee, (b) such settlement would impose any restriction oil any HHMI indemnitee’s conduct of any of its activities, or (c) such settlement would not include an unconditional release of all IIHM1 lndemnitees from all liability for claims that are the subject matter of the settled Claim.

5.    Insurance

HHMI asks for the same insurance protection as the University receives in any license. This insurance protection should survive termination.

Licensee shall have the insurance coverage set forth below. Such coverage shall be purchased from a carrier or carriers having an A. M. Best rating of at least A- (A minus) and shall name the University and IIHMI as additional insureds.

6.    HHMI Third-Party Beneficiary Status

The license should describe HMI’s status and rights as a third-party beneficiary as follows:

HHMI is not a party to this Agreement and has no liability to any licensee, sublicensee, or user of anything covered by this Agreement, but HHMI is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and certain of its provisions are for the benefit of HI1M1 and are enforceable by HHMI in its own name.

7.    Arbitration

HHMI does not permit the provisions in the license governing its rights to be subject to binding arbitration. Accordingly, if the licensee requires that all parties submit to binding arbitration, disputes relating to HHMI’s rights must be carved out of the requirements. The following is model language to exclude HHMI’s rights from a binding arbitration provision.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no dispute affecting the rights or property of HHMI shall be subject to the arbitration provisions set forth above.

8.    Sublicenses

HHMI requires that sublicensces be bound by the obligations in the sections of the License on indemnification, insurance and HHMI’s third party beneficiary status, in accordance with the following:

Licensee shall have the right to grant sublicenses consistent with this Agreement, which sublicenses shall include, without limitation, a provision binding sublicensees to all terms hereof intended for the protection of the University and other indemnified parties, including HHMI, against liability or loss.

9.    Use of Name Provision

The University shall include one of the two following provisions:

LICENSEE acknowledges that under HHMI policy, LICENSEE may not use the name of HHMI or of any HHMI employee (including Dr. [Investigator Name]) in a manner that reasonably could constitute an endorsement of a commercial product or service; but that use for other purposes, even if commercially motivated, is permitted provided that (1) the use is limited to accurately reporting factual events or occurrences, and (2) any reference

to the name of HHMI or any MIMI employees in press releases or similar materials intended for public release is approved by HHMI in advance.

LICENSEE may use Dr. _____’s name so long as any such usage (i) is limited to reporting factual events or occurrences only, and (ii) is made in a manner that could not reasonably constitute an endorsement of LICENSEE or of any LICENSEE program, product or service. However, LICENSEE shall not use Dr._____’s name or the Institute’s name in any press release, or quote Dr._____ in any company materials, or otherwise use Dr. _____’s name or the Institute’s name in a manner not specifically permitted by the preceding sentence, unless in each case LICENSEE obtains in advance the written consent of the Institute, and, in the case of the use of Dr. _____’s name, Dr. _____’s consent as well.

APPENDIX A — ROYALTY PAYMENT OPTIONS

[***]

APPENDIX B — HHMI LICENSING PROVISIONS

Any licenses granted by the Institution under this Agreement shall include the following HI•IMI licensing provisions, where University shall mean Institution:

1.    Identification of HHMI Investigators

If inventors are named in the license, HHMI investigators and HHMI inventor/employees should be properly identified as employees of the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Medical Institute doing research at the HHMI laboratory at the University.

Example: The invention was made by Dr. __________, an employee of the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Medical Institute and a faculty member at the University.

2.    Scope of Rights

HHMI requires that the scope of rights in future technology granted under a license not go beyond the following:

“Patent rights” shall mean and include all of the following intellectual property of the University:

The United States patents and/or patent applications listed in Appendix A [to the license]; United States patents issued from the applications listed in Appendix A and from divisionals and continuations of these applications and any reissues of such United States patents; claims of continuation-in-part applications and patents directed to subject matter specifically described in the applications listed in Appendix A; and claims of all foreign patent applications, patents, and other intellectual property which are directed to subject matter specifically described in the United States patents and/or patent applications listed in Appendix A.

3.    HHMI Research Use License

The license must reflect the fact that HHMI retains an institution-wide, paid-up, non-exclusive irrevocable license to use the intellectual property for its research purposes (without the right to sublicense or assign) by including the following:

Licensee acknowledges that it has been informed that the [licensed technology] was developed, at least in part, by employees of HHMI and that HHMI has a paid-up, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to use the [licensed technology] for IIHMI’s research purposes, but with no right to assign or sublicense (the “HHMI License”). This license is explicitly made subject to the HHMI License.

When exclusive licenses are being negotiated, HHMI’s research tools policies must be considered. If research tools developed in an HHMI laboratory (including software) are to be licensed on an exclusive basis, unless otherwise agreed by HHMI, HHMI requires that the

University establish a licensing plan acceptable to HHMI showing how the research tools will be made available to the research community on reasonably acceptable terms.

4.    Indemnification

HHMI requires that it and its trustees, officers, employees and agents be indemnified and held harmless by licensees against claims based on or arising out of the license. The following is the indemnification provision that HHMI requires in licenses.

Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Medical Institute (“HHMI”), and its trustees, officers, employees, and agents (collectively, “HHMI Indemnitees”), will be indemnified, defended by counsel acceptable to HHMI, and held harmless by [the licensee, sublicensee, or other contracting party] from and against any claim, liability, cost, expense, damage, deficiency, loss, or obligation, of any kind or nature (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses of defense) (collectively, “Claims”), based upon, arising out of, or otherwise relating to this [license, sublicense, or other contract or agreement], including without limitation any cause of action relating to product liability. The previous sentence will not apply to any Claim that is determined with finality by a court of competent jurisdiction to result solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an HHMI Indemnitee.

HIIMI’s indemnification must survive termination indefinitely.

HHMI’s required indemnification language does not provide a right to receive notice of claims or to settle claims. If the licensee requires the right to settle claims against HHMI and/or to receive notice of claims, then the following provisions should be added.

An indemnified party shall provide Licensee with prompt notice of any claim for which indemnification may be sought pursuant to this Agreement. In the case of any HHMI Indemnitee, notice shall be given reasonably promptly following actual receipt of written notice thereof by an officer or attorney of HHMI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delay or failure of [any indemnified party] [ally HHMI Indemnitee] to give reasonably prompt notice to Licensee of any such claim shall not affect the rights of such [HHMI Indemnitee] [indemnified party) unless, and then only to the extent that, such delay or failure is prejudicial to or otherwise adversely affects Licensee.

Licensee agrees not to settle any Claim against an HHMI Indemnitee without HHMI’s written consent, where (a) such settlement would include any admission of liability on the part of any HHMI Indemnitee, (b) such settlement would impose any restriction oil any HHMI indemnitee’s conduct of any of its activities, or (c) such settlement would not include an unconditional release of all IIHM1 lndemnitees from all liability for claims that are the subject matter of the settled Claim.

5.    Insurance

HHMI asks for the same insurance protection as the University receives in any license. This insurance protection should survive termination.

Licensee shall have the insurance coverage set forth below. Such coverage shall be purchased from a carrier or carriers having an A. M. Best rating of at least A- (A minus) and shall name the University and IIHMI as additional insureds.

6.    HHMI Third-Party Beneficiary Status

The license should describe HMI’s status and rights as a third-party beneficiary as follows:

HHMI is not a party to this Agreement and has no liability to any licensee, sublicensee, or user of anything covered by this Agreement, but HHMI is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and certain of its provisions are for the benefit of HI1M1 and are enforceable by HHMI in its own name.

7.    Arbitration

HHMI does not permit the provisions in the license governing its rights to be subject to binding arbitration. Accordingly, if the licensee requires that all parties submit to binding arbitration, disputes relating to HHMI’s rights must be carved out of the requirements. The following is model language to exclude HHMI’s rights from a binding arbitration provision.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no dispute affecting the rights or property of HHMI shall be subject to the arbitration provisions set forth above.

8.    Sublicenses

HHMI requires that sublicensees be bound by the obligations in the sections of the License on indemnification, insurance and HHMI’s third party beneficiary status, in accordance with the following:

Licensee shall have the right to grant sublicenses consistent with this Agreement, which sublicenses shall include, without limitation, a provision binding sublicensees to all terms hereof intended for the protection of the University and other indemnified parties, including HHMI, against liability or loss.

9.    Use of Name Provision

The University shall include one of the two following provisions:

LICENSEE acknowledges that under HHMI policy, LICENSEE may not use the name of HHMI or of any HHMI employee (including Dr. [Investigator Name]) in a manner that reasonably could constitute an endorsement of a commercial product or service; but that use for other purposes, even if commercially motivated, is permitted provided that (1) the use is limited to accurately reporting factual events or occurrences, and (2) any reference

to the name of HHMI or any MIMI employees in press releases or similar materials intended for public release is approved by HHMI in advance.

LICENSEE may use Dr. _____’s name so long as any such usage (i) is limited to reporting factual events or occurrences only, and (ii) is made in a manner that could not reasonably constitute an endorsement of LICENSEE or of any LICENSEE program, product or service. However, LICENSEE shall not use Dr._____’s name or the Institute’s name in any press release, or quote Dr._____ in any company materials, or otherwise use Dr. _____’s name or the Institute’s name in a manner not specifically permitted by the preceding sentence, unless in each case LICENSEE obtains in advance the written consent of the Institute, and, in the case of the use of Dr. _____’s name, Dr. _____’s consent as well.
