3.4 Third Party Obligations. In consideration of the license granted to Licensee under Section 2.1, Licensee agrees to the following:

3.4.1 Assumption of Obligations. Licensee acknowledges that certain Licensed Technology is licensed to Licensor pursuant to the Existing Licenses and will be sublicensed to Licensee hereunder. In addition to the obligations set forth herein, Licensee expressly agrees to be bound by and comply with all applicable provisions of the Existing Licenses to the extent such provisions apply to Licensee’s or any of its Affiliates’ or any Sublicensees’ exploitation of Licensed Technology under this Agreement. To the extent that (a) any Licensed Technology is Controlled by Licensor pursuant to the Existing Licenses and sublicensed to Licensee under this Agreement and (b) the scope of rights granted under such Existing Licenses are less than the rights granted hereunder (such as Licensor’s rights under the Existing Licenses being limited to non-exclusive rights), Licensee acknowledges that Licensee’s rights and licenses hereunder with respect to such Licensed Technology are limited to such lesser scope.

3.4.2 Third Party Reports and Payments.

(a) Licensee will pay any milestone amounts owed under Section 3.2 of the GSK Agreement that are owed with respect to activities of Licensee in exercising its license under this Agreement. Licensee’s obligation under this Section 3.4.2(a) for payments shall continue for so long as any payment obligations are due during the term of this Agreement under the Existing Licenses. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee will not be deemed to owe a milestone amount if Licensor or a different licensee of Licensor achieves the milestone for which a payment is due prior to Licensee achieving such milestone.

*** Confidential Treatment Requested ***

(b) To the extent that any payment under Section 3.3 or 3.4.2(a) is deemed “Sublicensing Revenues” under Section 3.5 of the Penn Agreement or sublicensee fees under Section 3.4 of the GSK Agreement (collectively, “Sublicensing Fees”), Licensee will gross up such payments to ensure that Licensor receives exactly the amount that is owed for such payment under this Agreement and the Sublicensing Fees under the Existing Licenses.

(c) Licensee will make all payments due with respect to the Existing Licenses to Licensor not less than […***…] prior to the date on which such amounts must be paid by Licensor to its licensors under the applicable Existing Licenses.

(d) Licensee agrees to submit and to require its Affiliates and Sublicensees to submit to Licensor (or as otherwise directed by Licensor) all reports, including development and diligence reports, that Licensor is required to submit or pay pursuant to the Existing Licenses and all payments that Licensee has agreed to make as set forth in Section 3.4.2 (a), in each case, to the extent such reports or payments are triggered by or otherwise result from Licensee’s and its Affiliates’ and any Sublicensees’ exploitation of Licensed Technology under this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed, with respect to any reporting and payment obligations under the Existing Licenses, Licensee (or its Affiliates or any Sublicensees) will provide the required reports to Licensor in sufficient time for Licensor to provide them to the applicable licensor within the time periods required by the applicable Existing License; provided that such reports will be provided to Licensor by not less than […***…] prior to the date on which such reports must be delivered by Licensor to its licensors under the applicable Existing License. All financial reports required to be delivered will be certified by the chief financial officer of Licensee.

(e) Without limiting the foregoing, within […***…] after the occurrence of a milestone event requiring a payment under either Existing License, Licensee will deliver to Licensor a report describing the milestone event that occurred and the date on which it occurred.

3.5 Reports and Records.

3.5.1 Licensee must deliver to Licensor within […***…] after the end of each Calendar Quarter after the first commercial sale of a Licensed Product a report setting forth the calculation of the royalties due to Licensor for such Calendar Quarter, including:

(d) Net Sales of Licensed Products listed by country;

(e) Royalties owed to Licensor, listed by category; and

(f) The computations for any applicable currency conversions.

3.5.2 Licensee shall pay the royalties due under Section 3.3 within […***…] following the last day of the Calendar Quarter in which the royalties accrue. Licensee shall send the royalty payments along with the report described in Section 3.5.1.

3.5.3 All financial reports under this Section 3.5 will be certified by the chief financial officer of Licensee.

3.5.4 Licensee shall maintain and require its Affiliates and all Sublicensees to maintain, complete and accurate books and records that enable the royalties, fees, and payments payable under this Agreement (directly or through the Existing Licenses) to be verified. The records must be maintained for […***…] after the submission of each report under Article 3. Upon reasonable prior written notice to Licensee, Licensee and its Affiliates and all Sublicensees will provide Licensor (and its accountants) with access to all of the relevant books, records, and related background information required to conduct a review or audit of the royalties, fees, and payments payable to Licensor under this Agreement to be verified. Access will be made available: (a) during normal business hours; (b) in a manner reasonably designed to facilitate the auditing party’s review or audit without unreasonable disruption to Licensee’s business; and (c) no more than once each calendar year during the term of this Agreement and for a period of […***…] thereafter. Licensee will promptly pay to Licensor the amount of any underpayment determined by the review or audit, plus accrued interest. If the review or audit determines that Licensee has underpaid any payment by […***…] or more, then Licensee will also promptly pay the costs and expenses of Licensor and accountants in connection with the review or audit. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee acknowledges that its books and records will also be subject to the separate audit right of Licensor’s licensors in accordance with the terms of the Existing Licenses.

3.6 Currency, Interest.

3.6.1 All dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement are expressed in United States dollars. All payments to Licensor under this Agreement must be made in United States dollars.

3.6.2 If Licensee receives payment in a currency other than United States dollars for which a royalty or fee or other payment is owed under this Agreement, then (a) the payment will be converted into United States dollars at the conversion rate for the foreign currency as published in the eastern edition of the Wall Street Journal, N.Y. edition, as of the last business day of the Calendar Quarter in which the payment was received by Licensee; and (b) the conversion computation will be documented by Licensee in the applicable report delivered to Licensor under Section 3.5.

*** Confidential Treatment Requested ***

3.6.3 All amounts that are not paid by Licensee when due will accrue interest from the date due until paid at a rate equal to 1.5% per month (or the maximum allowed by law, if less).

Licensee will provide Licensor written notice within […***…] of the accomplishment of each of the foregoing milestones. For the avoidance of doubt, a breach of the milestone in (a) above will be deemed a breach with respect to all disease indications within the Field. If Licensee fails to meet a milestone for a particular disease indication within the Field, the date of the milestone ([…***…]) may, at Licensee’s option, be extended for a period of […***…] from the original deadline date upon a payment to Licensor of […***…] within […***…] of the original deadline date; provided that Licensee will be entitled only to […***…] for each

4.3 Development Plans

4.3.1 For each disease indication and corresponding Licensed Product in the Field, Licensee will prepare and deliver to Licensor a development plan and budget (each a “Development Plan”).

5.1 Treatment of Confidential Information. Each Party, as a receiving party (a “Receiving Party”), agrees that it will (a) treat Confidential Information of the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) as strictly confidential; (b) not disclose such Confidential Information to Third Parties without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, except as may be permitted in this Agreement; provided that any disclosure permitted hereunder be under confidentiality agreements with provisions at least as stringent as those contained in this Agreement; and (c) not use such Confidential Information for purposes other than those authorized expressly in this Agreement. The Receiving Party agrees to ensure that its employees who have access to Confidential Information are obligated in writing to abide by confidentiality obligations at least as stringent as those contained under this Agreement.

5.2 Public Announcements. The Parties agree they will release a joint press release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. Except as provided in Section 5.3, any other press releases by either Party with respect to the other Party or any other public disclosures concerning the existence of or terms of this Agreement shall be subject to review and approval by the other

In the event that the Receiving Party receives service of legal process that purports to compel disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or becomes obligated by law to disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party or the existence of or terms of this Agreement to any governmental authority, the Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Disclosing Party, so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy with respect to narrowing the scope of such requirement and/or waive compliance by the Receiving Party with the provisions of this Agreement. The Receiving Party will provide the Disclosing Party with reasonable assistance in obtaining such protective order or other remedy. If, in the absence of such protective order or other remedy, the Receiving Party is nonetheless required by law to disclose the existence of or terms of this Agreement or other Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party may disclose such Confidential Information without liability hereunder; provided that the Receiving Party shall furnish only such portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed and only to the extent required by law.

6.3 Termination for Breach.

6.3.1 Licensor may terminate this Agreement, if Licensee is late in paying to Licensor royalties, fees, or any other monies due under this Agreement, and Licensee does not pay Licensor in full within […***…] upon written demand from Licensor, which termination shall be effective immediately upon the expiration of such […***…] cure period.

6.3.2 Either Party may terminate this Agreement, if the other Party materially breaches this Agreement and does not cure such material breach within […***…] after written notice of the breach, which termination shall be effective immediately upon the expiration of such […***…] cure period; provided that, if termination is by Licensor as a result of Licensee’s materially breaching Article 4, and if such breach only relates to one disease indication within the Field, but not all, then Licensor’s termination right shall only be with respect to the disease indication with respect to which the breach related and not the remaining disease indications.

6.3.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Licensee disputes in good faith that a payment is due or that such material breach exists, and gives Licensor written notice of such dispute within […***…], in the case of payment, or […***…], in the case of a material breach, following Licensee’s receipt of Licensor’s notice of default, then, Licensor may not terminate this Agreement until the dispute is resolved in accordance with Section 10.6 (and a payment is found to be due or a breach found to have occurred); provided that Licensor will be entitled to terminate this Agreement at the end of the original […***…] or […***…] cure period, as applicable, without waiting for resolution of the dispute in accordance with Section 10.6, if the breach by Licensee of this Agreement would cause Licensor to be in breach of the GSK Agreement or the Penn Agreement.

7.3.1 In the event Licensee or Licensor becomes aware that Licensee’s or any of its Affiliates’ or any Sublicensees’ practice of the Licensed Patents is the subject of a claim for patent infringement by a Third Party, that Party shall promptly notify the other, and the Parties shall consider the claim and the most appropriate action to take.

Without Licensor’s prior written permission, Licensee must not settle or compromise any such suit in a manner that imposes any material obligations or restrictions on Licensor or any of its licensors under the Existing Licenses or grants any rights to the Licensed Patents other than rights that Licensee has the right to grant under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 8: WARRANTIES; INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Warranty by Licensor. Licensor represents and warrants to Licensee as of the Effective Date:

8.1.1 Licensor has the right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement and to grant to Licensee the rights specified in this Agreement;

8.1.2 This Agreement when executed shall become the legal, valid and binding obligation of it, enforceable against it, in accordance with its terms;

8.1.3 There are no actions, suits, proceedings, or arbitrations pending or, to the Licensor’s knowledge, threatened against Licensor relating to the Licensed Technology that would impact activities under this Agreement;

8.1.4 To Licensor’s knowledge, (a) the Licensed Patents are solely owned by the University of Pennsylvania, and (b) no Third Party has any right, interest, or claim in or to such Licensed Patents in the Field that are inconsistent with those granted to Licensee herein;

8.1.5 Licensor has not received any written notice from any Third Party patentee alleging infringement of, and to Licensor’s knowledge Licensor has not been sued for patent infringement of, Third Party technology by the practice of the Licensed Patents in the Field;

*** Confidential Treatment Requested ***

8.1.7 To Licensor’s knowledge, Licensor does not Control (through ownership or Control pursuant to the Existing Licenses) as of the Effective Date any patent or patent application (other than the Licensed Patents set forth on Exhibit A) that would necessarily be infringed by Licensee’s practice of the Licensed Patents set forth on Exhibit A in connection with using, importing selling, and offering for sale of adeno-associated virus vectors claimed in such Licensed Patents in the Field. If it is determined, in accordance with the procedure of this Section 8.1.7, that Licensor Controls (through ownership or Control pursuant to the Existing Licenses) as of the Effective Date a patent or patent application (other than the Licensed Patents) that would necessarily be infringed by Licensee’s practice of the Licensed Patents set forth on Exhibit A in connection with using, importing selling, and offering for sale of adeno-associated virus vectors claimed in such Licensed Patents in the Field, then Licensor shall include the applicable patent or patent application as a “Licensed Patent” hereunder but solely to the extent of the claim(s) that would necessarily be infringed by such practice of such Licensed Patents by Licensee, which inclusion shall be Licensee’s sole remedy. At any time during the term of this Agreement, Licensee may notify Licensor in writing of any such patent or patent application that Licensee believes should be included as a “Licensed Patent” pursuant to this Section 8.1.7. Such written notice shall identify the relevant patent or patent application and relevant claim(s) and shall explain briefly why Licensee, in good faith, believes it should be included as a “Licensed Patent.” If Licensor does not agree with Licensee, Licensor shall have […***…] following Licensor’s receipt of Licensee’s written notice to notify Licensee that Licensor disputes the inclusion of such patent or patent application or the scope of the remedy; in which event, such dispute will be resolved in accordance with Section 10.6. Upon the Parties’ agreement (or a resolution, in favor of Licensee, of the dispute pursuant to Section 10.6), the applicable claim(s) of the applicable patent or patent application will be deemed a “Licensed Patent” hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensor makes no representation or warranty under this Section 8.1.7 as to any claim of (a) a patent or patent application covering Manufacturing Technology or (b) a patent or patent application that is not Controlled by Licensor pursuant to the Existing Licenses or pursuant to Licensor’s ownership thereof, and Licensee acknowledges that (i) Manufacturing Technology claims of any patents or patent applications or (ii) claims of any patents or patent applications not Controlled by Licensor pursuant to the Existing Licenses or pursuant to Licensor’s ownership thereof will not be added as “Licensed Patents” pursuant to the procedure set forth in this Section 8.1.7; and

8.1.8 To Licensor’s knowledge, the Existing Licenses are in full force and effect and Licensor is not in breach of any provisions thereof.

8.2 Warranty by Licensee. Licensee represents and warrants to Licensor as of the Effective Date that:

8.2.1 Licensee has the right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement and to grant the rights granted by it hereunder;

8.2.2 This Agreement when executed shall become the legal, valid and binding obligation of it, enforceable against it, in accordance with its terms;

8.2.3 Licensee has the ability and the resources, including financial resources, necessary to carry out its obligations under this Agreement; and

*** Confidential Treatment Requested ***

8.2.4 There are no actions, suits, proceedings, or arbitrations pending or, to the Licensee’s knowledge, threatened against Licensee that would impact activities under this Agreement.

8.3 Disclaimer of Warranties, Damages. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 8.1 AND 8.2, THE LICENSED TECHNOLOGY, LICENSED PRODUCTS, AND ALL RIGHTS LICENSED BY EITHER PARTY TO THE OTHER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, AND NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT THERETO. BY WAY OF EXAMPLE BUT NOT OF LIMITATION, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, (i) OF COMMERCIAL UTILITY, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY RIGHTS LICENSED BY EITHER PARTY TO THE OTHER, AND PROFITABILITY; OR (ii) THAT THE USE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED BY EITHER PARTY TO THE OTHER, INCLUDING ANY PRODUCTS RESULTING THEREFROM, WILL NOT INFRINGE ANY PATENT, COPYRIGHT, TRADEMARK, OR OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH HEREIN, NEITHER PARTY OR ANY OF SUCH PARTY’S DIRECT OR INDIRECT LICENSORS SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY, ITS SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS, OR ANY SUBLICENSEES OF EITHER PARTY, OR ANY THIRD PARTY WITH RESPECT TO: (a) ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM USE OF ANY OR ALL RIGHTS LICENSED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR FROM THE DEVELOPMENT, TESTING, MANUFACTURE, USE, OR SALE OF PRODUCTS ARISING THEREFROM; OR (b) ANY CLAIM FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OR INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, OR FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ANY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXERCISE OF RIGHTS HEREUNDER, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 8.3 IS INTENDED TO LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF EITHER PARTY UNDER SECTION 8.4 OR TO LIMIT A PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR BREACHES OF ITS OBLIGATION REGARDING CONFIDENTIALITY UNDER Article 5.

Licensee shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Licensor, its Affiliates, sublicensees, the licensors under the Existing Licenses, and their respective shareholders, members, partners, officers, trustees, faculty, students, contractors, agents, and employees (individually, a “Licensor Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Licensor Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Third Party liability, loss, damage, action, claim, fee, cost, or expense (including attorneys’ fees) (individually, a “Third Party Liability” and, collectively, the “Third Party Liabilities”) suffered or incurred by the Licensor Indemnified Parties from claims of such Third Parties that result from or arise out of: […***…]

*** Confidential Treatment Requested ***

[…***…]; provided, however, that Licensee shall not be liable for claims based on any breach by Licensor of the representations, warranties, or obligations of this Agreement or the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of any of the Licensor Indemnified Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee must defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Licensor Indemnified Parties from and against any Third Party Liabilities resulting from:

(c) […***…] conducted by or on behalf of Licensee, its Affiliates, any Sublicensees, their respective assignees, or vendors relating to the Licensed Technology or Licensed Products, including any claim by or on behalf of a […***…].

8.4.2 By Licensor. Licensor shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Licensee, its Affiliates and Sublicensees and their respective shareholders, members, partners, officers, trustees, contractors, agents, and employees (individually, a “Licensee Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Licensee Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Third Party Liabilities suffered or incurred by the Licensee Indemnified Parties from claims of such Third Parties that result from or arise out of: […***…]; provided, however, that Licensor shall not be liable for claims based on any breach by Licensee of the representations, warranties, or obligations of this Agreement or the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of any of the Licensor Indemnified Parties.

8.4.3 Indemnification Procedure. Each Party, as an indemnifying party (an “Indemnifying Party”), shall not be permitted to settle or compromise any claim or action giving rise to Third Party Liabilities in a manner (i) that imposes any restrictions or obligations on the indemnified party (an “Indemnified Party”) or, if Licensee is the Indemnifying Party, on Licensor’s licensors under the Existing Licenses, without the other Party’s prior written consent, (ii) if Licensee is the Indemnifying Party, that grants any rights to the Licensed Technology or Licensed Products other than those Licensee has the right to grant under this Agreement without Licensor’s prior written consent, or (iii) if Licensor is the Indemnifying Party, that grants any rights that are inconsistent with those granted to Licensee under this Agreement without

*** Confidential Treatment Requested ***

Licensee’s prior written consent. The Indemnifying Party shall be permitted to control any litigation or potential litigation involving the defense of any claim subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.4, including the selection of counsel, with the reasonable approval of the Indemnified Party. If an Indemnifying Party fails or declines to assume the defense of any such claim or action within […***…] after notice thereof, the Indemnified Party may assume the defense of such claim or action at the cost and risk of the Indemnifying Party, and any Third Party Liabilities related thereto shall be conclusively deemed a Third Party Liability of the Indemnifying Party. The indemnification rights of a Indemnified Party contained in this Agreement are in addition to all other rights which such Indemnified Party may have at law or in equity or otherwise. The Indemnifying Party will pay directly all Third Party Liabilities incurred for defense or negotiation of any claim hereunder or will reimburse the Indemnified Party for all documented Third Party Liabilities incident to the defense or negotiation of any such claim within […***…] after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of invoices for such fees, expenses, and charges.

8.5 Insurance. Within […***…] of the Effective Date, Licensee will procure and maintain insurance policies for the following coverages with respect to product liability, personal injury, bodily injury, and property damage arising out of Licensee’s (and its Affiliates’ and any Sublicensees’) performance under this Agreement: (a) during the term of this Agreement, comprehensive general liability, including broad form and contractual liability, in a minimum amount of […***…] combined single limit per occurrence (or claim) and in the aggregate annually; (b) prior to the commencement of clinical trials involving Licensed Products and thereafter for a period of not less than […***…] (or such longer period as Licensee is required by applicable law to continue to monitor the participants in the clinical trial), clinical trials coverage in amounts that are reasonable and customary in the U.S. pharmaceutical industry, subject always to a minimum limit of […***…] combined single limit per occurrence (or claim) and in the aggregate annually; and (c) from […***…] of a Licensed Product until […***…] after the last sale of a Licensed Product, product liability coverage, in amounts that are reasonable and customary in the U.S. pharmaceutical industry, subject always to a minimum limit of […***…] combined single limit per occurrence (or claim) and in the aggregate annually. Licensee acknowledges that Licensor’s licensors under the Existing Licenses may review periodically the adequacy of the minimum amounts of insurance for each coverage required by the Existing Licenses, and Licensor reserves the right to require Licensee to adjust the limits set forth in this Section 8.5 to conform to any adjustments made by Licensor’s licensors under the Existing Licenses. The required minimum amounts of insurance do not constitute a limitation on Licensee’s liability or indemnification obligations to the Licensor Indemnified Parties under this Agreement. The policies of insurance required by this Section 8.5 will be issued by an insurance carrier with an A.M. best rating of […***…] or better and will name Licensor as an additional insured with respect to Licensee’s performance (and its Affiliates’ and any Sublicensees’) under this Agreement. Licensee will provide Licensor with insurance certificates evidencing the required coverage within […***…] after the Effective Date and the commencement of each policy period and any renewal periods.

ARTICLE 10: ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

10.1 Relationship. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to establish a relationship of principal and agent between Licensee and Licensor, nor any of their agents or employees for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall this Agreement be construed 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.

10.2 Assignment. The rights and obligations of Licensee and Licensor hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, their respective permitted successors and assigns. Licensee may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Licensor; provided, however, that Licensee may assign this Agreement, without Licensor’s prior written consent, pursuant to a merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets to which the Agreement relates; provided that, as part of any permitted assignment, (a) Licensee provides Licensor with notice of such assignment at least five business days prior to the effectiveness of such assignment, and (b) Licensee requires any such assignee to agree in writing to be legally bound by this Agreement to the same extent as Licensee and provides Licensor with a copy of such assignee undertaking.

Licensor may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations without the consent of Licensee.

10.5 Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflict of law provisions that may require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Subject to Section 10.6, the Parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the courts located in the State of New York with respect to any and all disputes concerning the subject of this Agreement.

10.6 Dispute Resolution. In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Parties shall first attempt to resolve such controversy or claim through good faith negotiations between senior executives of each Party with authority to resolve the dispute for a period of not less than […***…] following notification of such controversy or claim to the other Party. If such controversy or claim cannot be resolved by means of such negotiations during such period, then such controversy or claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA in effect on the date of commencement of the arbitration, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.6. The arbitration shall be conducted as follows:

10.6.1 The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators, each of whom by training, education, or experience has knowledge of the research, development, and commercialization of biological therapeutic products in the United States. The arbitration shall be conducted in English and held in New York, New York.

10.6.2 In its demand for arbitration, the Party initiating the arbitration shall provide a statement setting forth the nature of the dispute, the names and addresses of all other parties, an estimate of the amount involved (if any), the remedy sought, otherwise specifying the issue to be

*** Confidential Treatment Requested ***

resolved, and appointing one neutral arbitrator. In an answering statement to be filed by the responding Party within […***…] after confirmation of the notice of filing of the demand is sent by the AAA, the responding Party shall appoint one neutral arbitrator. Within […***…] from the date on which the responding Party appoints its neutral arbitrator, the first two arbitrators shall appoint a chairperson.

10.6.3 If a Party fails to make the appointment of an arbitrator as provided in Section 10.6.2, the AAA shall make the appointment. If the appointed arbitrators fail to appoint a chairperson within the time specified in Section 10.6.2 and there is no agreed extension of time, the AAA shall appoint the chairperson.

10.6.4 The arbitrators will render their award in writing and, unless all Parties agree otherwise, will include an explanation in reasonable detail of the reasons for their award. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, including in the courts described in Section 10.5. The arbitrators will have the authority to grant injunctive relief and other specific performance; provided that the arbitrators will have no authority to award damages in contravention of this Agreement, and each Party irrevocably waives any claim to such damages in contravention of this Agreement. The arbitrators will, in rendering their decision, apply the substantive law of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflict of law provisions that may require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. The decision and award rendered by the arbitrators will be final and non-appealable (except for an alleged act of corruption or fraud on the part of the arbitrator).

10.6.5 The Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to conduct all dispute resolution procedures under this Agreement as expeditiously, efficiently, and cost-effectively as possible.

10.6.6 All expenses and fees of the arbitrators and expenses for hearing facilities and other expenses of the arbitration will be borne equally by the Parties unless the Parties agree otherwise or unless the arbitrators in the award assess such expenses against one of the Parties or allocate such expenses other than equally between the Parties. Each of the Parties will bear its own counsel fees and the expenses of its witnesses except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement or by applicable law.

10.6.7 Compliance with this Section 10.6 is a condition precedent to seeking relief in any court or tribunal in respect of a dispute, but nothing in this Section 10.6 will prevent a Party from seeking equitable or other interlocutory relief in the courts of appropriate jurisdiction, pending the arbitrators’ determination of the merits of the controversy, if applicable to protect the confidential information, property, or other rights of that Party or to otherwise prevent irreparable harm that may be caused by the other Party’s actual or threatened breach of this Agreement.

10.7 No Discrimination. Licensee, its Affiliates, and any Sublicensees, in their respective activities under this Agreement, shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, sex, sexual, or affectional preference, age, religion, national, or ethnic origin, handicap, or because he or she is a disabled veteran or a veteran (including a veteran of the Vietnam Era).

*** Confidential Treatment Requested ***

10.8 Compliance with Law. Licensee (and its Affiliates’ and any Sublicensees’) must comply with all prevailing laws, rules, and regulations that apply to its activities or obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that this Agreement may be subject to United States laws and regulations controlling the export of technical data, computer software, laboratory prototypes, and other commodities, articles, and information, including the Arms Export Control Act as amended in the Export Administration Act of 1979 and that Licensee’s obligations are contingent upon compliance with applicable United States export laws and regulations. The transfer of certain technical data and commodities may require a license from the cognizant agency of the United States Government and/or written assurances by Licensee that Licensee shall not export data or commodities to certain foreign countries without prior approval of such agency. Licensor neither represents that a license is not required nor that, if required, it will issue.

10.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire understanding between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral. All “Confidential Information” disclosed by Licensor to Fidelity Biosciences Corp. (and then disclosed by Fidelity Biosciences Corp. to Licensee) pursuant to that certain Confidentiality Agreement dated September 10, 2012 between Licensor and Fidelity Biosciences Corp. or pursuant to any other agreements between them will be deemed “Confidential Information” under this Agreement (unless and until it falls within one of the exclusions set forth in Section 1.5). This Agreement may not be varied except by a written document signed by duly authorized representatives of both Parties.

10.10 Marking. Licensee, its Affiliates, and any Sublicensees shall xxxx any Licensed Product (or their containers or labels) made, sold, or otherwise distributed by it or them with any notice of patent rights necessary or desirable under applicable law to enable the Licensed Patents to be enforced to their full extent in any country where Licensed Products are made, used, sold, offered for sale, or imported.

10.11 Severability and Reformation. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such invalid or unenforceable provision will be automatically revised to be a valid or enforceable provision that comes as close as permitted by law to the Parties’ original intent; provided that, if the Parties cannot agree upon such valid or enforceable provision, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, unless the invalid or unenforceable provisions are of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement without the invalid or unenforceable provisions.

10.12 Further Assurances. Each Party hereto agrees to execute, acknowledge, and deliver such further instruments, and to do all other acts, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

10.13 Interpretation; Construction. The captions to the several Articles and Sections of this Agreement are included only for convenience of reference and shall not in any way affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context requires otherwise, (a) the word “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation” or like expression; (b) references to the singular shall

*** Confidential Treatment Requested ***

include the plural and vice versa; (c) references to masculine, feminine, and neuter pronouns and expressions shall be interchangeable; (d) the words “herein” or “hereunder” relate to this Agreement; (e) “or” is disjunctive but not necessarily exclusive; (f) the word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”; (g) all references to “dollars” or “$” herein shall mean U.S. Dollars; (h) unless otherwise provided, all reference to Sections and exhibits in this Agreement are to Sections and exhibits of and in this Agreement; and (i) whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, such number shall refer to calendar days unless business days are specified.

Each Party represents that it has been represented by legal counsel in connection with this Agreement and acknowledges that it has participated in the drafting hereof. In interpreting and applying the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Parties agree that no presumption will apply against the Party which drafted such terms and provisions.

10.14 Cumulative Rights and Remedies. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and all other rights and remedies available to either Party at law or in equity are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy now or hereafter available at law or in equity. Neither asserting a right nor employing a remedy shall preclude the concurrent assertion of any other right or employment of any other remedy, nor shall the failure to assert any right or remedy constitute a waiver of that right or remedy.

10.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
