10.03 | OXIQUANT agrees to forward to OHSU annually a copy of any report, which is in substance similar to the report required by this Article 10, received from any sublicensee and other documents received from any sublicensee as OHSU may reasonably request, as may be pertinent to an accounting of fees and royalties. |
10.04 | OHSU agree to hold in confidence each report delivered by OXIQUANT pursuant to this Article 10 until three (3) year subsequent to the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, OHSU may disclose any such information required to be disclosed pursuant to any judicial, administrative or governmental request, subpoena, requirement or order, provided that OHSU take reasonable steps to provide OXIQUANT with prompt notice of such obligation to disclose so that OXIQUANT has the opportunity to contest such request, subpoena, requirement or order. |
11. | DUE DILIGENCE |
11.01 | OXIQUANT shall use its reasonable best efforts to introduce the Licensed Products into the commercial market or apply the Licensed Processes to commercial use as soon as practicable. The efforts of a sublicensee shall be considered the efforts of OXIQUANT for the purposes of this Section 11.01. |
11.02 | Upon the First Commercial Sale until the expiration of this Agreement, OXIQUANT shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep Licensed Products and Licensed Processes reasonably accessible to the public. |
12. | INFRINGEMENT AND PATENT ENFORCEMENT |
12.01 | OXIQUANT and OHSU shall promptly provide written notice, to the other party, of any alleged infringement by a third party of the Licensed Patent Rights and provide such other party with any available evidence of such infringement. |
12.02 | During the term of this Agreement, OXIQUANT shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prosecute and/or defend, at its own expense and utilizing counsel of its choice, any infringement of, and/or challenge to, the Licensed Patent Rights. In furtherance of such right, OXIQUANT hereby agrees that QHSU may join OXIQUANT as a party in |
9
any such suit, without expense to OHSU. No settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of any such suit which would adversely affect the rights of OHSU may be entered into without the consent of OHSU, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. |
12.03 | In the event that a claim or suit is asserted or brought against OXIQUANT alleging that the manufacture or sale of any Licensed Product by OXIQUANT, an Affiliate of OXIQUANT, or any sublicensee, or the use of such Licensed Product by any customer of any of the foregoing, infringes proprietary rights of a third party, OXIQUANT shall give written notice thereof to OHSU. OXIQUANT may, in its sole discretion, modify such Licensed Product to avoid such infringement and/or may settle on terms that it deems advisable in its sole discretion, subject to Paragraph 12.02; provided, that OXIQUANT shall not enter into any settlement affecting the validity of the Licensed Patents Rights or that would otherwise have a materially adverse impact on OHSU without OHSU’s prior written consent. Otherwise, OXIQUANT shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend any such claim or suit. In the event OXIQUANT elects not to defend such suit within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof, OHSU shall have the right, but not the obligation to do so at its sole expense. |
12.04 | Without limiting either party’s obligation to cooperate with the other under Section 12.08, OXIQUANT shall take no action to compel OHSU either to initiate or to join in any suit brought under Paragraphs 12.02 or 12.03. OXIQUANT may request OHSU to initiate or join any such suit if necessary to avoid dismissal of the suit. Should OHSU be made a party to any such suit, OXIQUANT shall reimburse OHSU for any costs, expenses, or fees which OHSU incurs as a result of such motion or other action, including any and all costs incurred by OHSU in opposing any such motion or other action. |
12.05 | Any recovery of damages by OXIQUANT, in any such suit, shall be applied first in satisfaction of any unreimbursed expenses and legal fees of OXIQUANT relating to the suit and then to OHSU for any royalties credited in accordance with Paragraph 12.06. The balance remaining from any such recovery shall be treated as payments received by OXIQUANT from sublicensees and shared by OHSU and OXIQUANT in accordance with Paragraph 6.03 hereof. |
12.06 | OXIQUANT may credit any litigation costs incurred by OXIQUANT in any country pursuant to this Article 12 and all amounts paid in judgement or settlement of litigation within the scope of this Article 12 against royalties thereafter payable to OHSU hereunder for such country and apply the same toward one-half of its actual, reasonable out-of-pocket litigation costs. If such litigation costs in such country exceeds 50% of royalties payable to OHSU in any year in which such costs are incurred than the amount of such costs, expenses and amounts paid in judgement or settlement, in excess of such 50% of the royalties payable shall be carried over and credited against royalty payments in future years for such country. |
12.07 | If within six (6) months after receiving notice of any alleged infringement, OXIQUANT shall have been unsuccessful in persuading the alleged infringer to desist, or shall not have brought and shall not be diligently prosecuting an infringement action, or if OXIQUANT shall notify OHSU, at any time prior thereto, of its intention not to bring suit against the alleged infringer, then, and in those events only, OHSU shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prosecute, at its own expense and utilizing counsel of its choice, any infringement of the Licensed Patent Rights, and OXIQUANT may, for such purposes, join OHSU as a party plaintiff. The total cost of any such infringement action commenced solely by OHSU shall be borne by OHSU and OHSU shall keep any recovery or damages for infringement or otherwise derived therefrom and such shall not be applicable to any royalty obligation of OXIQUANT. |
12.08 | In any suit to enforce and/or defend the Licensed Patent Rights pursuant to this License Agreement, the party not in control of such suit shall, at the request and expense of the controlling party, cooperate in all reasonable respects and, to the extent practicable, have its employees testify when requested and make available relevant records, papers, information, samples, specimens, and the like. |
13. | DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND INDEMNIFICATION |
13.01 | Subject to Sections 3.05 through 3.07, OHSU does not warrant the validity of the Licensed Patent Rights and makes no representations whatsoever with regard to the scope of the Licensed Patent Rights, or that the Licensed Patent Rights or Know-How may be exploited without infringing other patents or other intellectual property rights of third parties. |
10
13.02 | OHSU MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF ANY SUBJECT MATTER DEFINED BY THE CLAIMS OF THE LICENSED PATENT RIGHTS OR BY THE KNOW-HOW. |
13.03 | OXIQUANT shaft indemnify and hold OHSU, its directors, trustees, officers, employees, students, fellows, agents, and consultants harmless from and against all liability, demands, damages, expenses, and losses, including but not limited to death, personal injury, illness, or property damage (collectively, “Losses”) in connection with or arising out of (a) the use of the Licensed Patent Rights or Know-how by or on behalf of OXIQUANT, its Affiliates, or the sublicensees, agents, independent contractors, directors, employees, or third parties of any of the foregoing, or (b) the design, manufacture, distribution, or use of any Licensed Products, Licensed Processes or materials, or other products or processes developed in connection with or arising out of the Licensed Patent Rights or Know-How, or (c) otherwise arising out of exercise of Licensed Patent Rights granted under this Agreement, to the extent such Losses are not the result of OHSU’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or a misrepresentation of the representations set forth in Sections 3.05 through 3.07. OXIQUANT shall, at all times following the Qualified Financing, carry commercial liability insurance or self-insurance sufficient to cover its contractual obligations with respect to activities performed under this Agreement. In no event shall such insurance cover less than $5,000,000 in the aggregate and $2,000,000 per occurrence. OXIQUANT shall cause OHSU to be named as an additional insured on any such policy, and shall cause the applicable insurance provider to notify OHSU of any cancellation of such policy or any reduction in the coverage limits of such policy below those required herein. OXIQUANT shall provide evidence of this coverage to OHSU upon request. |
14. | TERM, TERMINATION AND MODIFICATION OF RIGHTS |
14.01 | The term of this Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date and shall extend to the expiration of the last to expire claim contained in the Licensed Patent Rights (the “Term”) unless sooner terminated as provided in this Article 14. |
14.02 | In the event that OXIQUANT is in default in the performance of any material obligations under this Agreement, and if the default has not been remedied within sixty (60) days after the date of notice in writing from OHSU to OXIQUANT of such default, OHSU may terminate the Term by written notice to OXIQUANT. |
14.03 | OXIQUANT may, upon sixty (60) days written notice to OHSU, terminate this Agreement by doing all of the following: |
a) | Ceasing to make, have made, use, import, sell and offer for sale any Licensed Products and/or use of Licensed Processes; |
b) | Terminating all sublicenses, and causing all sublicensees to cease making, having made, using, importing, selling and offering for sale any Licensed Products and/or use of Licensed Processes; and |
c) | Paying all monies owed to OHSU under this Agreement. |
14.04 | OHSU shall specifically have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Agreement if OHSU determines that: 1) OXIQUANT is more than sixty (60) days late in paying to OHSU any consideration due under this Agreement and OXIQUANT does not immediately pay OHSU in full upon OHSU’s written demand, 2) OXIQUANT experiences a Trigger Event, or 3) OXIQUANT materially breaches this Agreement (other than a breach solely under 14.04 (1)) and does not cure the breach within sixty (60) days after written notice of the breach. |
14.05 | Within ninety (90) days of expiration or termination of this Agreement under this Article 14, a final report shall be submitted by OXIQUANT. Any royalty payments, including those related to patent expense, due to OHSU shall become immediately due and payable upon termination or expiration. If this Agreement is terminated under this Article 14, sublicensees may elect to convert their sublicenses to direct licenses with OHSU subject to Paragraph 4.03. |
14.06 | Upon termination of this Agreement, OXIQUANT and any sublicensee shall, at OHSU’s request, return to OHSU any data generated during the term of this Agreement that will facilitate the development of the technology licensed under this Agreement, provided, however, that OXIQUANT may keep one copy for archival purposes only. |
11
14.07 | Upon termination of this Agreement, OXIQUANT shall cause physical inventories to be taken immediately of: (a) all completed Licensed Product(s) on hand under the control of OXIQUANT or any Affiliate or sublicensee; and (b) such Licensed Product(s) as are in the process of manufacture and component parts thereof as of the date of termination of this Agreement, which inventories shall be reduced to writing. OXIQUANT shall deliver copies of such written inventories, verified by an officer of OXIQUANT forthwith to OHSU. OHSU shall have 45 days after receipt of such verified inventories within which to challenge the inventory and request an audit. Upon five days written notice to OXIQUANT, OHSU and its agents shall be given access during business hours to the premises of OXIQUANT or its Affiliates or sublicensees for the purpose of conducting an audit. Upon the termination of this Agreement, OXIQUANT shall, at its own expense forthwith remove, efface or destroy all references to OHSU from all advertising or other materials used in the promotion of OXIQUANT’s business or the business of any Affiliate or sublicensee and OXIQUANT and any Affiliate or sublicensee shall not thereafter represent in any manner that it has rights in or to the Licensed Patent Rights or Licensed Product(s) or Licensed Processes. |
14.08 | Notwithstanding the foregoing, OXIQUANT shall have a period of six (6) months after termination to sell off its inventory of Licensed Product(s) existing on the date of termination of this Agreement and shall pay royalties to OHSU with respect to such Licensed Product(s) within thirty (30) days following the expiration of such six-month period (“Sell Off Right”). |
14.09 | Paragraphs 4.03, 4.05, 6.04-6.08, 7.02, 7,05, 7.06, 9.01, 10.04, 12.01-12.08, 13.01-13.03, 14.05-14.09, 15.01 and 17.01-17.12 of this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement. OXIQUANT’s obligation to pay all monies owed accruing under this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement. |
15. | CONFIDENTIALITY |
15.01 | Any proprietary or confidential information (including but not limited to information related to the Patent Rights and Know-how) collectively constitute the “Confidential Information”. OXIQUANT and OHSU agree that they will not use the Confidential Information of the other party for any purpose unrelated to this Agreement, and will hold it in confidence during the term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years after the termination or expiration date of this Agreement. OXIQUANT shall exercise with respect to OHSU’s Confidential Information the same degree of care as OXIQUANT exercises with respect to its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature (which in no event shall be less than reasonable care), and shall not disclose it or permit its disclosure to any third party (except to those of its employees, consultants, or agents who are bound by the same obligation of confidentiality as OXIQUANT is bound by pursuant to this Agreement). However, such undertaking of confidentiality by OXIQUANT shall not apply to any information or data which: |
a) | OXIQUANT receives at any time from a third-party lawfully in possession of same and having the right to disclose same. |
b) | Is, as of the date of this Agreement, in the public domain, or subsequently enters the public domain through no fault of OXIQUANT. |
c) | Is independently developed by OXIQUANT as demonstrated by written evidence without reference to information disclosed to OXIQUANT by OHSU. |
d) | Is disclosed pursuant to the prior written approval of OHSU. |
e) | Is required to be disclosed pursuant to law or legal process (including, without limitation, to a governmental authority) provided, in the case of disclosure pursuant to legal process, prompt notice of the impending disclosure is provided to OHSU so that OHSU may, in its discretion and at its own cost and expense, contest such disclosure. |
16. | USE OF NAMES AND PUBLICATION |
16.01 | Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting any right to OXIQUANT or its Affiliates to use in advertising, publicity, or other promotional activities any name, trade name, trademark, or other designation of OHSU |
12
or any of its units (including contraction, abbreviation or simulation of any of the foregoing) without the prior, written consent of OHSU, provided, however, that OHSU acknowledge and agree that OXIQUANT may use the names of OHSU and the names of the Principal Investigators in various documents used by OXIQUANT for capital raising and financing without such prior written consent where the use of such names is required by law and in any such event OXIQUANT shall use reasonable efforts to notify OHSU and the Principal Investigator of any such use prior to the use or, if prior notification is not possible, promptly thereafter. OHSU acknowledge that the Principal Investigators may act as consultants and scientific advisors to OXIQUANT with respect to the licenses granted to OXIQUANT hereunder, subject to the respective policies of OHSU. |
16.02 | Nothing herein shall be deemed to establish a relationship of principal and agent between OHSU and OXIQUANT, nor any of their agents or employees for any purpose whatsoever. This Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership between OHSU and OXIQUANT, or as creating any other form of legal association or arrangement which would impose liability upon one party for the act or failure to act of the other party. |
16.03 | In the event that OHSU or Principal Investigators desire, individually or as a group, to publish or disclose, by written, oral or other presentation, Know-how, Licensed Patent Rights, or any material information related thereto then OHSU or the Principal Investigator(s) shall notify OXIQUANT and in writing by facsimile where confirmed by the receiving party, and/or by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested) of their intention at least sixty (60) days prior to any speech, lecture or other oral presentation and at least sixty (60) days before any written or other publication or disclosure, The Principal Investigator(s) shall include with such notice a description of any proposed oral presentation or, in any proposed written or other disclosure, a current draft of such proposed disclosure or abstract. OXIQUANT may request that the Principal Investigator(s) and OHSU, no later than thirty (30) days following the receipt of such notice, delay such presentation, publication or disclosure for a period of not more than thirty (30) days, in order to enable OHSU to file, or have filed on their behalf, a patent application, copyright or other appropriate form of intellectual property protection related to the information to be disclosed or request that OHSU do so. Upon receipt of such request to delay such presentation, publication or disclosure, OHSU and the Principal Investigator(s) shall arrange for a delay of such presentation, publication or disclosure for the period requested by OXIQUANT, not to exceed thirty (30) days from the original proposed date of publication or disclosure. If neither the Principal Investigator(s) nor OHSU receive any such request from OXIQUANT to delay such presentation, publication or disclosure, OHSU or the Principal Investigator(s) may submit such material for presentation, publication or other form of disclosure. |
17. | MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS |
17.01 | Neither party may waive or release any of its rights or interests in this Agreement except in writing. The failure of either party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition by the other party. |
17.02 | This Agreement embodies the entire understanding of the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof, and shall supersede all previous communications, representations or understandings, either oral or written, between the parties relating thereto. |
17.03 | The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and in the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any controlling body of law, such determination shall not in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. |
17.04 | If either party desires a modification to this Agreement, the parties shall, upon reasonable notice of the proposed modification by the party desiring the change, confer in good faith to determine the desirability of such modification. No modification will be effective until a written amendment is signed by the signatories to this Agreement or their designees. |
17.05 | Each party hereby irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in the states of Oregon and New York with respect to any suit, claim, action or other proceeding of any kind arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to the principle of conflicts of laws to the contrary. |
13
17.06 | All notices required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally or upon obtaining written confirmation of receipt following facsimile transmission, or one (1) business day after being sent by reputable overnight courier service or five (5) business days after being mailed by prepaid, first class, registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), in each case properly sent to the other party at the address or facsimile number designated on the following Signature Page, or to such other address as may be designated by like notice. |
17.07 | This Agreement and the rights and duties appertaining hereto may not be assigned, directly or by operation of law, by either party without first obtaining the written consent of the other which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any such purported assignment, without the written consent of the other party, shall be null and of no effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, OXIQUANT may assign this Agreement to a purchaser, merging or consolidating corporation, or acquirer of substantially all of OXIQUANT’s assets or business and/or pursuant to any reorganization qualifying under section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended, as may be in effect at such time. |
17.08 | Licensee agrees in its use of any OHSU-supplied materials to comply with all applicable statutes, regulations, and guidelines. |
17.09 | OXIQUANT acknowledges that it is subject to and agrees to abide by the United States laws and regulations (including the Export Administration Act of 1979 and Arms Export Control Act) controlling the export of technical data, computer software, laboratory prototypes, biological material, and other commodities. The transfer of such items may require a license from the cognizant agency of the Government or written assurances by OXIQUANT that it shall not export such items to certain foreign countries without prior approval of such agency. OHSU neither represents that a license is or is not required or that, if required, it shall be issued. |
17.10 | QXIQUANT agrees to use its best efforts to xxxx the Licensed Products or their packaging sold in the United States with all applicable U.S. patent numbers and similarly to indicate “Patent Pending” status. OXIQUANT agrees that it will use its best efforts to xxxx all Licensed Products manufactured in, shipped to, or sold in other countries in such a manner as to preserve OHSU patent rights in such countries. |
17.11 | By entering into this Agreement, OHSU does not directly or indirectly endorse any product or service provided, or to be provided, by OXIQUANT whether directly or indirectly related to this Agreement. OXIQUANT shall not state or imply that this Agreement is an endorsement by OHSU, or its employees. Additionally, OXIQUANT shall not use the names of OHSU or their employees in any advertising, promotional, or sales literature without the prior written consent of OHSU. No party hereto may issue a press release regarding this Agreement without obtaining the written consent of the other party and provided, further, that the contents of said press release are mutually agreed to by the parties, except as required by law. |
17.12 | The parties agree to attempt to settle amicably any controversy or claim arising under this Agreement or a breach of this Agreement. |
