For purpose of clarity, (a) following the First Commercial Sale of an Oragenics Product, the use by direct or indirect purchasers or other users of Oragenics Products outside the Field (i.e. “off label use”) shall not constitute a breach by Oragenics of the terms of Section 3.3 or 3.4, provided that neither Oragenics nor its Affiliate (nor any Third Party under contract with either of them) marketed or promoted Oragenics Products for such off-label use; and (b) following the First Commercial Sale of a product by EGI, an EGI Affiliate, or a Third Party sublicensee, collaborator, or partner of EGI, the use by direct or indirect purchasers or other users of such products in the Field (i.e. “off label use”) shall not constitute a breach by EGI of the terms of Section 3.4, provided that neither EGI nor its Affiliate (nor any Third Party under contract with either of them) marketed or promoted such products for such off-label use.

3.7 No Prohibition on EGI. Except as explicitly set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.4, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent EGI from practicing or using the EGI Materials, EGI Channel Technology, and EGI IP for any purpose, and to grant to Third Parties the right to do the same. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Oragenics acknowledges that EGI has all rights, in EGI’s sole discretion, to make the EGI Materials, EGI Channel Technology (including any active pharmaceutical ingredient used in an Oragenics Product), and EGI IP available to Third Party channel partners or collaborators for use in fields outside the Field.

3.8 Rights to Clinical and Regulatory Data. Oragenics shall own and control all clinical data and regulatory filings relating to Commercialization of Oragenics Products during the Term. Oragenics shall provide full copies of all clinical and non-clinical data and reports, regulatory filings, and communications from regulatory authorities that relate specifically and solely to Oragenics Products. To the extent that there exist any clinical and non-clinical data and reports, regulatory filings, and communications from regulatory authorities owned by Oragenics or a Product Sublicensee that relate both to Oragenics Products and other products produced by Oragenics or a Product Sublicensee outside the Field, Oragenics shall provide (or require that the Product Sublicensee provide) to EGI upon EGI’s request copies of the portions of such data, reports, filings, and communications that relate to Oragenics Products. EGI shall be permitted, directly or in conjunction with or through partners or other channel collaborators, to reference this data, reports, filings, and communications relating to Oragenics Products in regulatory filings made to obtain regulatory approval for products indicated for use in fields outside the Field. EGI shall have the right to use any such information in developing and Commercializing products outside the Field and to license any Third Parties to do so.

3.9 Third Party Licenses.

(a) [*****] shall obtain, [*****], any licenses from Third Parties that are required in order to practice the EGI Channel Technology in the Field where the licensed intellectual property is directed towards the manufacture of gene constructs, genetic transformation, methods for altering or controlling genetic expression, or cell lines (but excluding intellectual property directed to any specific Lantibiotic) (“[*****] Third Party IP”). Other than with respect to [*****] Third Party IP, [*****] shall be solely responsible for obtaining, at its sole expense, any licenses from Third Parties that [*****] determines, in its sole discretion, are required in order to lawfully make, use, sell, offer for sale, or import Oragenics Products (“[*****] Third Party IP”). [*****] Third Party IP and [*****] Licensed Third Party IP are collectively referred to as “Third Party IP”.

(b) In the event that either Party desires to license from a Third Party any [*****] Third Party IP or Oragenics Licensed Third Party IP, such Party shall so notify the other Party, and the IPC shall discuss such Third Party IP and its applicability to the Oragenics Products and to the Field. As provided above in Section 3.9(a), [*****] shall have the sole right and responsibility to pursue a license under [*****] Third Party IP, and [*****] hereby covenants that it shall not itself directly license such [*****] Third Party IP at any time, provided that [*****] may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such a license directly if the Third Party owner or licensee of such [*****] Third Party IP brings an infringement action against [*****] or its Affiliates and, after written notice to [*****] of such action, [*****] fails to obtain a license to such [*****] Third Party IP within ninety (90) days after such notice. Following the IPC’s discussion of any [*****] Third Party IP, subject to Section 3.9(c), [*****] shall have the right to pursue a license under [*****] Third Party IP, at [*****] sole expense. For the avoidance of doubt, EGI may at any time obtain a license under [*****] Third Party IP outside the Field, at [*****] sole expense, provided that if [*****] decides to seek to obtain such a license, it shall use reasonable efforts to coordinate its licensing activities in this regard with [*****].

(c) [*****] shall provide the proposed terms of any license under [*****] Third Party IP and the final version of the definitive license agreement for any [*****] Third Party IP to the IPC for review and discussion prior to signing, and shall consider [*****] comments thereto in good faith. To the extent that [*****] obtains a license under [*****] Third Party IP, [*****] shall provide the final version of the definitive license agreement for such [*****] Third Party IP to the IPC. If [*****] acquires rights under any Third Party IP outside the Field, it will do so on a non-exclusive basis unless it obtains the prior written consent of EGI for such license outside the Field to be exclusive. Any Party that is pursuing a license to any Third Party IP with respect to the Field under this Section 3.9 shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of the status of any negotiations relating thereto. For purposes of clarity, (i) any costs incurred by EGI in obtaining and maintaining licenses to [*****] Third Party IP shall be borne solely by [*****], and (ii) any costs incurred by [*****] in obtaining and maintaining licenses to [*****] Third Party IP (and, to the limited extent provided in subsection (b), [*****] Third Party IP) shall be borne solely by [*****].

(d) For any Third Party license under which Oragenics or its Affiliates obtain a license under Patents claiming inventions or know-how specific to or used or incorporated into the development, manufacture, and/or Commercialization of Oragenics Products, Oragenics shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Oragenics will have the ability, pursuant to Section 10.4(h), to assign such agreement to EGI or grant a sublicense to EGI thereunder (having the scope set forth in Section 10.4(h)).

(e) The licenses granted to Oragenics under Section 3.1 may include sublicenses under EGI IP that has been licensed to EGI by one or more Third Parties. Any such sublicenses are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable upstream license agreement, subject to the cost allocation set forth in Section 3.9(c), provided that EGI shall either provide unredacted copies of such upstream license agreements to Oragenics or shall disclose in writing to Oragenics all of such terms and conditions that are applicable to Oragenics. Oragenics shall not be responsible for complying with any provisions of such upstream license agreements unless, and to the extent that, such provisions have been disclosed to Oragenics as provided in the preceding sentence.

(f) If either Party receives notice from a Third Party concerning activities of a Party taken in conjunction with performance of obligations under this Agreement, which notice alleges infringement by a Party of, or offers license under, Patents or other intellectual property rights owned or controlled by that Third Party, the receiving Party shall inform the other party thereof within five (5) business days.

3.10 Licenses to EGI. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Oragenics hereby grants to EGI a non-exclusive, worldwide, fully-paid, royalty-free license, under any applicable Patents or other intellectual property Controlled by Oragenics or its Affiliates, solely to the extent necessary for EGI to conduct those responsibilities assigned to it under this Agreement, which license shall be sublicensable solely to EGI’s Affiliates or to any of EGI’s permitted subcontractors.

3.11 Restrictions Relating to EGI Materials. Oragenics and its permitted sublicensees shall use the EGI Materials solely for purposes of the Lantibiotics Program and not for any other purpose without the prior written consent of EGI. With respect to the EGI Materials comprising EGI’s vector assembly technology, Oragenics shall not, and shall ensure that Oragenics personnel and permitted sublicensees do not (a) distribute, sell, lend or otherwise transfer such EGI Materials to any Third Party; (b) co-mingle such EGI Materials with any other proprietary biological or chemical materials without EGI’s written consent; or (c) analyze such EGI Materials or in any way attempt to reverse engineer or sequence such EGI Materials.

The costs encompassed within subsection (a) above shall include the scale-up of EGI Materials and related active pharmaceutical ingredients for clinical trials and commercialization of Oragenics Products undertaken pursuant to Section 4.6, which shall be at EGI’s cost whether it elects to conduct such efforts internally or through Third Party contractors retained by either EGI or Oragenics (with EGI’s consent).

4.2 Transfer of Technology and Information. The JSC shall develop a plan and protocol for each project and timing for the transfer of relevant data and EGI Materials.

4.3 Information and Reporting. Oragenics will keep EGI informed about Oragenics’ efforts to develop and commercialize Oragenics Products, including reasonable and accurate summaries of Oragenics’ (and its Affiliates’ and, if applicable, (sub)licensees’) global development plans (as updated), including preclinical, clinical and regulatory plans, global marketing plans (as updated), progress towards meeting the goals and milestones in such plans and explanations of any material deviations, and significant developments in the development and/or commercialization of the Oragenics Products, including initiation or completion of a clinical trial, submission of a United States or international regulatory filing, receipt of a response to such United States or international regulatory filing, clinical safety event, receipt of Regulatory Approval, or commercial launch. As set forth in Section 3.8 above, Oragenics shall also provide to EGI copies of all final preclinical protocols and reports, final clinical protocols and reports, and regulatory correspondence and filings generated by Oragenics as soon as practical after they become available. EGI will keep Oragenics informed about EGI’s efforts (a) to establish manufacturing capabilities and facilities for Oragenics Products (and EGI Materials relevant thereto) and otherwise perform its manufacturing responsibilities under Section 4.6 and (b) to undertake discovery-stage research for the Lantibiotics Program with respect to the EGI Channel Technology and EGI Materials. Unless otherwise provided herein, such disclosures by Oragenics and EGI will be made in the course of JSC meetings at least once every six (6) months while Oragenics Products are being developed or commercialized anywhere in the world, and shall be reflected in the minutes of such meetings.

4.4 Regulatory Matters. At all times after the Effective Date, Oragenics shall own and maintain, at its own cost, all regulatory filings and regulatory approvals for Oragenics Products that Oragenics is developing or Commercializing pursuant to this Agreement. As such, Oragenics shall be responsible for reporting all adverse events related to such Oragenics Products to the appropriate regulatory authorities in the relevant countries, in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of such countries. To the extent that EGI will itself develop, or in collaboration with other third parties develop, EGI Materials outside of the Field, EGI may request that Oragenics and EGI establish and execute a separate safety data exchange agreement, which agreement will address and govern the timely exchange of safety information generated by Oragenics, EGI, and relevant third parties with respect to specific EGI Materials. The decision to list or not list Patents in any regulatory filing for an Oragenics Product (for example, as required by 21 C.F.R. § 314.53(b)), add or delete a Patent from a regulatory filing, or to otherwise identify a Patent to a third party in compliance with laws or regulations relating to regulatory approvals (for example, in compliance with 42 U.S.C. § 262(a)(1)(A)(k) et seq.) shall be determined by EGI, after consultation with Oragenics, except with respect to Product Specific Program Patents, which will be mutually determined by the Parties.

4.5 Diligence.

(a) Oragenics shall use, and shall require its Product Sublicensees to use, Diligent Efforts to develop and commercialize Oragenics Products.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, EGI may, from time to time, notify Oragenics that it believes it has identified a Superior Therapy, and in such case EGI shall provide to Oragenics its then-available information about such therapy and reasonable written support for its conclusion that the therapy constitutes a Superior Therapy. Oragenics shall have the following obligations with respect to such proposed Superior Therapy: (i) within sixty (60) days after such notification, Oragenics shall prepare and deliver to the JSC for review and approval a development plan detailing how Oragenics will pursue the Superior Therapy (including a proposed budget); (ii) Oragenics shall revise the development plan as directed by the JSC; and (iii) following approval of the development plan by the JSC, Oragenics shall use Diligent Efforts to pursue the development of the Superior Therapy under the Lantibiotics Program in accordance with such development plan. If Oragenics fails to comply with the foregoing obligations, or if Oragenics unreasonably exercises its casting vote at the JSC to either (x) prevent the approval of a development plan for a Superior Therapy; (y) delay such approval more than sixty (60) days after delivery of the development plan to the JSC; or (z) approve a development plan that is insufficient in view of the nature and magnitude of the opportunity presented by the Superior Therapy, then EGI shall have the termination right set forth in Section 10.2(c) (subject to the limitation set forth therein). For clarity, any dispute arising under this 4.5, including any dispute as to whether a proposed project constitutes a Superior Therapy (as with any other dispute under this Agreement) shall be subject to dispute resolution in accordance with Article 11.

(c) The activities of Oragenics’ Affiliates and any permitted sublicensees shall be attributed to Oragenics for the purposes of evaluating Oragenics’ fulfillment of the obligations set forth in this Section 4.5.

4.6 Manufacturing. EGI shall have the option and, in the event it so elects, shall use Diligent Efforts, to perform any manufacturing activities in connection with the Lantibiotics Program that relate to the EGI Materials, the manufacture of bulk drug product, the manufacturing of bulk quantities of other components of Oragenics Products, or any earlier steps in the manufacturing process for Oragenics Products. To the extent that EGI so elects, EGI may request that Oragenics and EGI establish and execute a separate manufacturing and supply agreement, which agreement will establish and govern the production, quality assurance, and regulatory activities associated with manufacture of EGI Materials. Except as provided in Section 4.1, any manufacturing undertaken by EGI pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be performed in exchange for cash payments equal to EGI’s Fully Loaded Cost in connection with such manufacturing, on terms to be negotiated by the Parties in good faith. In the event that EGI does not manufacture EGI Materials, bulk drug product or bulk quantities of other components of Oragenics Products, then EGI shall provide to Oragenics or a contract manufacturer selected by Oragenics and approved by EGI all Information Controlled by EGI that is related to the manufacturing of such EGI Materials, bulk drug product or bulk qualities of other components of Oragenics Products, for use in the Field and is reasonably necessary to enable Oragenics or such contract manufacturer (as appropriate) for the sole purpose of manufacturing such EGI Materials, bulk drug product or bulk quantities of other components of Oragenics Products, in each case as manufactured by EGI. The costs and expenses incurred by EGI in carrying out such transfer shall be borne by EGI. Any manufacturing Information transferred hereunder to Oragenics or its contract manufacturer shall not be further transferred to any Third Party or Oragenics Affiliate without the prior written consent of EGI; provided, however, that EGI shall not unreasonably withhold such consent if necessary to permit Oragenics to switch manufacturers.

4.7 Support Services. From time to time, on an ongoing basis, Oragenics shall request, or EGI may propose, that EGI perform certain support services with respect to the Lantibiotics Program. To the extent that the Parties mutually agree that EGI should perform such services, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms under which services would be performed, it being understood that EGI would be compensated for such services by cash payments equal to EGI’s Fully Loaded Cost in connection with such services.

4.8 Compliance with Law. Each Party shall comply, and shall ensure that its Affiliates, (sub)licensees and Third Party contractors comply, with all applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines applicable to the Lantibiotics Program, including without limitation those relating to the transport, storage, and handling of EGI Materials and Oragenics Products.

4.9 Trademarks and Patent Marking. To the extent permitted by applicable law and regulations, Oragenics shall, and shall ensure that the packaging, promotional materials, and labeling for Oragenics Products shall carry, in a conspicuous location, the applicable EGI Trademark(s), subject to Oragenics’ reasonable approval of the size, position, and location thereof. Consistent with the U.S. patent laws, Oragenics shall ensure that Oragenics Products, or its packaging or accompanying literature as appropriate, bear applicable and appropriate patent markings for EGI Patent numbers. Oragenics shall provide EGI with copies of any materials containing the EGI Trademarks or patent markings prior to using or disseminating such materials, in order to obtain EGI’S approval thereof. Oragenics’ use of the EGI Trademarks and patent markings shall be subject to prior review and approval of the IPC. Oragenics acknowledges EGI’s sole ownership of the EGI Trademarks and agrees not to take any action inconsistent with such ownership. Oragenics covenants that it shall not use any trademark confusingly similar to any EGI Trademarks in connection with any products (including any Oragenics Product). From time to time during the Term, EGI shall have the right to obtain from Oragenics samples of Oragenics Product sold by Oragenics or its Affiliates or sublicensees, or other items which reflect public uses of the EGI Trademarks or patent markings, for the purpose of inspecting the quality of such Oragenics Products, the use of the EGI Trademarks, or the accuracy of the patent markings. In the event that EGI inspects under this Section 4.9, EGI shall notify the result of such inspection to Oragenics in writing thereafter. Oragenics shall comply with reasonable policies provided by EGI from time-to-time to maintain the goodwill and value of the EGI Trademarks.

4.10 EGI Equity Purchase Participation Right. EGI shall be entitled to, at its election, participate in each Qualified Financing (as hereinafter defined) conducted by the Company and may purchase as part of, or in connection with, such Qualified Financing an amount of Common Stock or other of the Company’s securities equal to up to 30% of the number of shares of Common Stock (or other of the Company’s securities) issued and sold by the Company in the Qualified Financing (excluding the securities sold pursuant to this Section 5.3) (collectively, the “Equity Purchase Participation Right”). For the purposes of this Section 5.3, a “Qualified Financing” shall mean a sale by the Company of Common Stock, or equity securities convertible into Common Stock, in a public or private offering, raising gross cash proceeds of at least $1,000,000 where the shares sold are either registered under the Securities Act on issuance, or the Company agrees to register such shares following the issuance of such shares. The price per share paid by EGI in any such Qualified Financing shall be the same as that paid by the other investors in such Qualified Financing, and upon the exercise of the Equity Purchase Participation Right EGI shall receive securities of the same type and with the same rights, preferences and privileges as the other investors in such Qualified Financing, including, for example, any warrant coverage, subject to the execution by EGI of the investment documents entered into by the other investors in the Qualified Financing.

In the event that the Company intends to conduct a Qualified Financing:

(a) Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that it intends to conduct a Qualified Financing, EGI shall, within ten (10) days of receipt of such documents, notify the Company as to whether EGI wishes to participate in the Qualified Financing. Upon such election, and subject to Section 5.3(b), the Company shall permit EGI to participate in such offering in the amount elected by EGI in accordance with the preceding sentence.

(b) If counsel to the Company or counsel to any underwriter in a public offering that is a Qualified Financing advises the Company that EGI’s inclusion is not permissible under and in compliance with applicable securities laws (including without limitation Section 6 of the Securities Act), the offering and sale of securities to EGI’s pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall be made by the Company in a concurrent private placement and not in such public offering. In any such private placement: (i) the offer of the securities in such private placement shall be made on the same terms and conditions as the offer of the securities in the public offering, and (ii) the closing of the private placement shall occur concurrently with the closing of the Qualified Financing.

5.2 Milestones.

(a) Oragenics Milestones. Upon the first instance of attainment of certain commercialization milestone events by an Oragenics Product (whether such attainment is achieved by Oragenics or by a permitted sublicensee), Oragenics has agreed to pay EGI milestone payments as set forth below. The milestone payments are each payable in cash (subject to Section 5.2(c)) by wire transfer to the account specified by EGI. The specific milestone payments due to EGI upon achievement of each milestone event are set forth in 5.2(b).

(b) Milestone Payments. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the first instance of attainment of the commercialization milestones as set forth below, and with respect to only the first Oragenics Product developed under this Agreement that reaches any such milestone, the Company has agreed to make certain milestone payments (each a “Milestone Payment” and together “Milestone Payments”) as set forth in this Section 5.2(b). The Milestone Payments are each payable in cash (subject to Section 5.2(c) of this Agreement by wire transfer to the account specified by EGI. The specific milestone payments due to EGI upon achievement of each of the Milestone Events are set forth in Sections 5.2(b)(i) through 5.2(b)(iii) below.

(i) The Company shall pay EGI a one-time milestone payment in cash of twenty five million United States dollars ($25,000,000) (subject to Section 5.2(c) of this Agreement) within six (6) months of the first instance of the achievement of the Regulatory Approval Milestone Event.

(ii) The Company shall pay EGI a one-time milestone payment in cash of five million United States dollars ($5,000,000) (subject to Section 5.2(c) of this Agreement) within six (6) months of the first instance of the achievement of the New Indication Milestone Event.

(iii) The Company shall pay EGI a one-time milestone payment in cash of five million United States dollars ($5,000,000) (subject to Section 5.2(c) of this Agreement) within six (6) months of the first instance of the achievement of the New Product Milestone Event.

(iv) As used in this Section:

(A) “FDA New Product Application” means a “New Drug Application” or a “Biologics License Application” (as both of such are defined according to relevant FDA guidelines and regulations establishing the mechanisms for the submission of new drug products in the United States of America for regulatory approval prior to commercial sale and marketing), but excluding any Supplemental FDA Applications.

(B) “New Indication Milestone Event” means for a given Oragenics Product, the approval of a Supplemental FDA Application with the FDA (or an equivalent filing with another equivalent regulatory agency) which Supplemental FDA Application sought approval of an indication for use of an Oragenics Product other than the current regulatory-approved indication for the respective Oragenics Product. For the avoidance of doubt and clarification purposes, any occurrence of the New Indication Milestone Event shall not also be deemed the occurrence of the New Product Milestone Event or vice versa.

(C) “New Product Milestone Event” means for a given Oragenics Product, the approval of a FDA New Product Application for such Oragenics Product that is deemed (according to relevant FDA guidelines) to be a different drug product than the first Oragenics Product that was clinically pursued under the Lantibiotics Program (as defined in this Agreement). For purposes of the New Product Milestone Event, the subject Oragenics Product shall be deemed to be a “different” Oragenics Product from the first Oragenics Product (and thus constitute an occurrence of the New Product Milestone Event) if regulatory approval of the subject Oragenics Product had to be obtained from the FDA under a different FDA New Product Application than the first Oragenics Product. For the avoidance of doubt and clarification purposes, any occurrence of the New Product Milestone Event shall not also be deemed the occurrence of the New Indication Milestone Event or vice versa.

(D) “Regulatory Approval Milestone Event” means for a given Oragenics Product, the approval of a FDA New Product Application for such Oragenics Product by the FDA or equivalent regulatory action in a foreign jurisdiction.

(E) “Supplemental FDA Application” means a “Supplemental New Drug Application” or a “Supplemental Biologics License Application” (as both of such are defined according to relevant FDA guidelines and regulations establishing the mechanisms for the submission of data in support of the FDA granting approval for new, amended, and/or expanded label indications for a prior-approved drug product in the United States of America).

The event giving rise to a milestone payment under subsections (i) through (iii) of this Section 5.2(b) shall be a “Milestone Event” and together, the “Milestone Events.”

(c) Product Sublicense Milestones. If (A) a commercialization milestone event occurs that gives rise to a right for EGI to receive a payment from Oragenics under Section 5.2(a), (B) that milestone event is achieved by an Oragenics Product licensed to a Product Sublicensee under a respective Product Sublicense, and (C) Oragenics is due to receive a milestone payment from the Product Sublicensee for achievement of that same (or substantially similar) milestone event by the sublicensed Oragenics Product under the respective Product Sublicense, then EGI may elect at its own discretion to waive that particular milestone payment from Oragenics for that particular commercialization milestone

5.3 RESERVED.

5.4 Revenue Sharing.

(a) No later than thirty (30) days after each calendar quarter in which there is positive Net Sales arising from the sale of any Oragenics Product in the Field in the Territory, Oragenics shall pay a royalty to EGI of ten percent (10%) of such Net Sales, on an Oragenics Product-by-Oragenics Product basis. Commencing with the Effective Date, in the event that no Net Sales occur for a particular Oragenics Product in any calendar quarter, neither Oragenics nor EGI shall owe any payments hereunder with respect to such Oragenics Product.

(b) No later than thirty (30) days after each calendar quarter in which Oragenics or any Oragenics Affiliate receives Sublicensing Revenue, Oragenics shall pay to EGI a percentage of such Sublicensing Revenue equal to the applicable Sublicensing Revenue Rate. “Sublicensing Revenue Rate” means a percentage of Sublicensing Revenue applicable to a proposed sublicense by Oragenics as follows: (a) with respect to any sublicense of a Lantibiotics Oragenics Product (including new indications thereof), any revenues Oragenics receives from a Product Sublicensee under a Product Sublicense that are not a percentage of Product Sublicensee’s Net Sales of Oragenics Products, and any amounts recovered under Section 6.3(f), the Sublicensing Revenue Rate shall be twenty five percent (25%); and (b) with respect to any other sublicense, the Sublicensing Revenue Rate shall be determined in accordance with Section 3.2.

5.5 Method of Payment. Except for payments payable as and made in the form of common stock, payments due to EGI under this Agreement shall be paid in United States dollars by wire transfer to a bank in the United States designated in writing by EGI. All references to “dollars” or “$” herein shall refer to United States dollars.

5.6 Payment Reports and Records Retention. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter during which Net Sales have been generated or during which Sublicensing Revenue has been received, Oragenics shall deliver to EGI a written report that shall contain at a minimum for the applicable calendar quarter:

(a) gross sales of each Oragenics Product (on a country-by-country basis);

(b) itemized calculation of Net Sales, showing all applicable deductions;

(c) itemized calculation of Sublicensing Revenue, including any offsets claimed for Third Party license costs;

(d) the amount of the payment (if any) due pursuant to Section 5.4(a) and/or 5.4(b);

(e) the amount of the payment (if any) made or made due by the achievement of an applicable commercialization milestone event during the present calendar quarter;

(f) the amount of taxes, if any, withheld to comply with any applicable law; and

(g) the exchange rates used in any of the foregoing calculations.

For three (3) years after each sale or other commercial use of Oragenics Product, after incurring any component item Oragenics incorporated into its calculation of Sublicensing Revenues, payments in accord with Section 5.2(b), or Net Sales as reported to EGI, Oragenics shall keep (and shall ensure that its Affiliates and, if applicable, (sub)licensees shall keep) complete and accurate records of such sales, commercial use, or component item in sufficient detail to confirm the accuracy of the payment calculations hereunder.

5.7 Audits.

(a) Upon the written request of EGI, Oragenics shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of internationally recognized standing selected by EGI, and reasonably acceptable to Oragenics, to have access to and to review, during normal business hours and upon no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice, the applicable records of Oragenics and its Affiliates to verify the accuracy and timeliness of the reports and payments made by Oragenics under this Agreement. Such review may cover the records for sales made in any calendar year ending not more than three (3) years prior to the date of such request. The accounting firm shall disclose to both Parties whether the royalty reports and/or know-how reports conform to the provisions of this Agreement and/or US GAAP, as applicable, and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. Such audit may not be conducted more than once in any calendar year.

(b) If such accounting firm concludes that additional amounts were owed during such period, Oragenics shall pay additional amounts, with interest from the date originally due as set forth in Section 5.9, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the accounting firm’s written report. If the amount of the underpayment is greater than five percent (5%) of the total amount actually owed for the period audited, then Oragenics shall in addition reimburse EGI for all costs related to such audit; otherwise, EGI shall pay all costs of the audit. In the event of overpayment, any amount of such overpayment shall be fully creditable against amounts payable for the immediately succeeding calendar quarter(s); provided, however, that if such overpayment is reasonably expected to exceed the amount projected to be payable to EGI by Oragenics over next [*****], EGI will promptly repay to Oragenics any amount exceeding that projected amount.

(c) EGI shall (i) treat all information that it receives under this Section 5.7 in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of Article 7 and (ii) cause its accounting firm to enter into an acceptable confidentiality agreement with Oragenics obligating such firm to retain all such financial information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement, in each case except to the extent necessary for EGI to enforce its rights under this Agreement.

5.8 Taxes. The Parties will cooperate in good faith to obtain the benefit of any relevant tax treaties to minimize as far as reasonably possible any taxes which may be levied on any amounts payable hereunder. Oragenics shall deduct or withhold from any payments any taxes that it is required by applicable law to deduct or withhold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if EGI is entitled under any applicable tax treaty to a reduction of the rate of, or the elimination of, applicable withholding tax, it may deliver to Oragenics or the appropriate governmental authority (with the assistance of Oragenics to the extent that this is reasonably required and is expressly requested in writing) the prescribed forms necessary to reduce the applicable rate of withholding or to relieve Oragenics of its obligation to withhold tax, and Oragenics shall apply the reduced rate of withholding tax, or dispense with withholding tax, as the case may be, provided that Oragenics has received evidence of EGI’s delivery of all applicable forms (and, if necessary, its receipt of appropriate governmental authorization) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time that the payment is due. If, in accordance with the foregoing, Oragenics withholds any amount, it shall make timely payment to the proper taxing authority of the withheld amount, and send to EGI proof of such payment within forty-five (45) days following that latter payment.

5.9 Late Payments. Any amount owed by Oragenics to EGI under this Agreement that is not paid within the applicable time period set forth herein shall accrue interest at the lower of (a) two percent (2%) per month, compounded, or (b) the highest rate permitted under applicable law.

ARTICLE 6

Intellectual Property

6.1 Ownership.

(a) Subject to the license granted under Section 3.1, all rights in the EGI IP shall remain with EGI.

(b) Oragenics and/or EGI may solely or jointly conceive, reduce to practice or develop discoveries, inventions, processes, techniques, and other technology, whether or not patentable, in the course of performing the Lantibiotics Program (collectively “Inventions”). Each Party shall promptly provide the other Party with a detailed written description of any such Inventions that relate to the Field. Inventorship shall be determined in accordance with United States patent laws.

(c) EGI shall solely own all right, title and interest in all Inventions related to EGI Channel Technology, together with all Patent rights and other intellectual property rights therein (the “Channel-Related Program IP”). Oragenics hereby assigns all of its right, title and interest in and to the Channel-Related Program IP to EGI. Oragenics agrees to execute such documents and perform such other acts as EGI may reasonably request to obtain, perfect and enforce its rights to the Channel-Related Program IP and the assignment thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any discovery, invention, process, technique, or other technology, whether or not patentable, that is conceived, reduced to practice or developed by Oragenics solely or jointly through the use of the EGI Channel Technology, EGI IP, or EGI Materials in breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, together with all patent rights and other intellectual property rights therein, shall be solely owned by EGI and shall be included in the Channel-Related Program IP.

(e) All information regarding Channel-Related Program IP shall be Confidential Information of EGI. Oragenics shall be under appropriate written agreements with each of its employees, contractors, or agents working on the Lantibiotics Program, pursuant to which such person shall grant all rights in the Inventions to Oragenics (so that Oragenics may convey certain of such rights to EGI, as provided herein) and agree to protect all Confidential Information relating to the Lantibiotics Program.

(f) All rights, technology, and intellectual property (A) owned by Oragenics or licensed from a Third Party by Oragenics as of the Effective Date, or (B) thereafter developed by Oragenics independent of the Lantibiotics Program, EGI Channel Technology, EGI IP or EGI Materials, shall be owned by and remain the property of Oragenics (the “Oragenics Independent IP”).

6.2 Patent Prosecution.

(a) EGI shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to (a) conduct and control the filing, prosecution and maintenance of the EGI Patents, and (b) conduct and control the filing, prosecution, and maintenance of any applications for patent term extension and/or supplementary protection certificates for the EGI Patents that may be available as a result of the regulatory approval of any Oragenics Product. At the reasonable request of EGI, Oragenics shall cooperate with EGI in connection with such filing, prosecution, and maintenance, at EGI’s expense. Under no circumstances shall Oragenics (a) file, attempt to file, or assist anyone else in filing, or attempting to file, any Patent application, either in the United States or elsewhere, that claims or uses or purports to claim or use or relies for support upon an Invention owned by EGI, (b) use, attempt to use, or assist anyone else in using or attempting to use, the EGI Know-How, EGI Materials, or any Confidential Information of EGI to support the filing of a Patent application, either in the United States or elsewhere, that contains claims directed to the EGI IP, EGI Materials, or the EGI Channel Technology, or (c) without prior approval of the IPC, file, attempt to file, or assist anyone else in filing, or attempting to file, any application for patent term extension or supplementary protection certificate, either in the United States or elsewhere, that relies upon the regulatory approval of an Oragenics Product.

(b) Oragenics shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to conduct and control the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any Patents claiming Inventions that are owned by Oragenics or its Affiliates and not assigned to EGI under Section 6.1(c) (“Oragenics Program Patents”). At the reasonable request of Oragenics, EGI shall cooperate with Oragenics in connection with such filing, prosecution, and maintenance, at Oragenics’ expense.

(c) The Prosecuting Party shall be entitled to use patent counsel selected by it and reasonably acceptable to the non-Prosecuting Party (including in-house patent counsel as well as outside patent counsel) for the prosecution of the EGI Patents and Oragenics Program Patents, as applicable. The Prosecuting Party shall:

(i) regularly provide the other Party in advance with reasonable information relating to the Prosecuting Party’s prosecution of Patents hereunder, including by providing copies of substantive communications, notices and actions submitted to or received from the relevant patent authorities and copies of drafts of filings and correspondence that the Prosecuting Party proposes to submit to such patent authorities (it being understood that, to the extent that any such information is readily accessible to the public, the Prosecuting Party may, in lieu of directly providing copies of such information to such other Party, provide such other Party with sufficient information that will permit such other Party to access such information itself directly);

(ii) consider in good faith and consult with the non-Prosecuting Party regarding its timely comments with respect to the same; provided, however, that if, within fifteen (15) days after providing any documents to the non-Prosecuting Party for comment, the Prosecuting Party does not receive any written communication from the non-Prosecuting Party indicating that it has or may have comments on such document, the Prosecuting Party shall be entitled to assume that the non-Prosecuting Party has no comments thereon;

(iii) consult with the non-Prosecuting Party before taking any action that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the scope of claims within the EGI Patents and Oragenics Program Patents, as applicable.

As used above “Prosecuting Party” means EGI in the case of EGI Patents and Oragenics in the case of Oragenics Program Patents.

6.3 Infringement of Patents by Third Parties.

(a) Except as expressly provided in the remainder of this Section 6.3, EGI shall have the sole right to take appropriate action against any person or entity directly or indirectly infringing any EGI Patent (or asserting that an EGI Patent is invalid or unenforceable) (collectively, “Infringement”), either by settlement or lawsuit or other appropriate action.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Oragenics shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to take appropriate action to enforce Product-Specific Program Patents against any Infringement that involves a commercially material amount of allegedly infringing activities in the Field (“Field Infringement”), either by settlement or lawsuit or other appropriate action. If Oragenics fails to take the appropriate steps to enforce Product-Specific Program Patents against any Field Infringement within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date one Party has provided notice to the other Party pursuant to Section 6.3(g) of such Field Infringement, then EGI shall have the right (but not the obligation), at its own expense, to enforce Product-Specific Program Patents against such Field Infringement, either by settlement or lawsuit or other appropriate action.

(c) With respect to any Field Infringement that cannot reasonably be abated through the enforcement of Product-Specific Program Patents pursuant to Section 6.3(b) but can reasonably be abated through the enforcement of EGI Patent(s) (other than the Product-Specific Program Patents), EGI shall be obligated to choose one of the following courses of action: (i) enforce one or more of the applicable EGI Patent(s) in a commercially reasonable manner against such Field Infringement, or (ii) [*****]. The Party enforcing the applicable EGI Patent(s) shall bear the costs and expenses of such enforcement. The determination of which EGI Patent(s) to assert shall be made by EGI in its sole discretion; provided, however, that EGI shall consult in good faith with Oragenics on such determination. For the avoidance of doubt, EGI has no obligations under this Agreement to enforce any EGI Patents against, or otherwise xxxxx, any Infringement that is not a Field Infringement.

(d) In the event a Party pursues an action under this Section 6.3, the other Party shall reasonably cooperate with the enforcing Party with respect to the investigation and prosecution of any alleged, threatened, or actual Infringement, at the enforcing Party’s expense.

(e) Oragenics shall not settle or otherwise compromise any action under this Section 6.3 in a way that diminishes the rights or interests of EGI outside the Field or adversely affects any EGI Patent without EGI’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. EGI shall not settle or otherwise compromise any action under this Section 6.3 in a way that diminishes the rights or interests of Oragenics in the Field or adversely affects any EGI Patent with respect to the Field without Oragenics’ prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(f) Except as otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, any settlements, damages or other monetary awards recovered pursuant to a suit, proceeding, or action brought pursuant to Section 6.3 will be allocated first to the costs and expenses of the Party controlling such action, and second, to the costs and expenses (if any) of the other Party (to the extent not otherwise reimbursed), and any remaining amounts (the “Recovery”) will be shared by the Parties as follows: In any action initiated by EGI pursuant to Section 6.3(a) that does not involve Field Infringement, or in any action initiated by EGI pursuant to Section 6.3(b), EGI shall retain one hundred percent (100%) of any Recovery. In any action initiated by Oragenics pursuant to Section 6.3(b), Oragenics shall retain one hundred percent (100%) of any Recovery, [*****]. In any action initiated by EGI or Oragenics pursuant to Section 6.3(c), the enforcing Party shall retain one hundred percent (100%) of any Recovery.

(g) Oragenics shall promptly notify EGI in writing of any suspected, alleged, threatened, or actual Infringement of which it becomes aware, and EGI shall promptly notify Oragenics in writing of any suspected, alleged, threatened, or actual Field Infringement of which it becomes aware.

In the event of any such filing, the filing Party shall provide the other Party with a copy of the Agreement marked to show provisions for which the filing Party intends to seek confidential treatment and shall reasonably consider and incorporate the other Party’s comments thereon to the extent consistent with the legal requirements governing redaction of information from material agreements that must be publicly filed. The other Party shall promptly provide any such comments.

10.3 Termination by Oragenics. Oragenics shall have the right to voluntarily terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon ninety (90) days written notice to EGI at any time, provided that such notice may not be given during the eighteen (18) month period commencing on the Effective Date.

10.4 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2 or Section 10.3, the following shall apply:

(a) Retained Products. Oragenics shall be permitted to continue the clinical development and Commercialization in the Field of any Oragenics Product that, at the time of termination, satisfies at least one of the following criteria (a “Retained Product”):

(i) the particular Oragenics Product is being sold by Oragenics triggering profit sharing payments therefor under Section 5.4(a) of this Agreement,

(ii) the particular Oragenics Product has received regulatory approval,

(iii) the particular Oragenics Product is a subject of an application for regulatory approval in the Field that is pending before the applicable regulatory authority,

(iv) the particular Oragenics Product is the subject of at least an ongoing Xxxxx 0, Xxxxx 2 or Phase 3 clinical trial in the Field (in the case of a termination by EGI due to an Oragenics uncured breach pursuant to Section 10.2(a) or a termination by Oragenics pursuant to Section 10.3).

Such right to continue development and commercialization shall be subject to Oragenics’ full compliance with the payment provisions in Article 5, a continuing obligation for Oragenics to use in accord with Sections 4.5(a) and 4.5(c) Diligent Efforts to develop and commercialize any Retained Products, and all other provisions of this Agreement that survive termination.

(b) Termination of Licenses. Except as necessary for Oragenics to continue to obtain regulatory approval for, clinically develop, use, manufacture and Commercialize the Retained Products in the Field as permitted by Section 10.4(a), all rights and licenses granted by EGI to Oragenics under this Agreement shall terminate and shall revert to EGI without further action by either EGI or Oragenics. Oragenics’ license with respect to Retained Products shall be exclusive or non-exclusive, as the case may be, on the same terms as set forth in Section 3.1.

(c) Reverted Products. All Oragenics Products other than the Retained Products shall be referred to herein as the “Reverted Products.” Oragenics shall immediately cease, and shall cause its Affiliates and, if applicable, (sub)licensees to immediately cease, all development and Commercialization of the Reverted Products, and Oragenics shall not use or practice, nor shall it cause or permit any of its Affiliates or, if applicable, (sub)licensees to use or practice, directly or indirectly, any EGI IP with respect to the Reverted Products. Oragenics shall immediately discontinue making any representation regarding its status as a licensee or channel collaborator of EGI with respect to the Reverted Products.

(d) EGI Materials. Oragenics shall promptly return, or at EGI’s request, destroy, any EGI Materials in Oragenics’ possession or control at the time of termination other than any EGI Materials necessary for the continued development, regulatory approval, use, manufacture and Commercialization of the Retained Products in the Field.

(e) Licenses to EGI. Oragenics is automatically deemed to grant to EGI a worldwide, fully paid, royalty-free, non-exclusive, irrevocable, license (with full rights to sublicense) under the Oragenics Termination IP, to make, have made, import, use, offer for sale and sell Reverted Products and to use the EGI Channel Technology, the EGI Materials, and/or the EGI IP in the Field, subject to any exclusive rights held by Oragenics in Reverted Products pursuant to Section 10.4(c). The Parties shall also take such actions and execute such other instruments and documents as may be reasonably necessary to document such license to EGI.

(f) Regulatory Filings. Oragenics shall promptly assign to EGI, and will provide full copies of, all regulatory approvals and regulatory filings that relate specifically and solely to Reverted Products. Oragenics shall also take such actions and execute such other instruments, assignments and documents as may be necessary to effect the transfer of rights thereunder to EGI. To the extent that there exist any regulatory approvals and regulatory filings that relate both to Reverted Products and other products, Oragenics shall provide copies of the portions of such regulatory filings that relate to Reverted Products and shall reasonably cooperate to assist EGI in obtaining the benefits of such regulatory approvals with respect to the Reverted Products.

(g) Data Disclosure. Oragenics shall provide to EGI copies of the relevant portions of all material reports and data, including clinical and non-clinical data and reports, obtained or generated by or on behalf of Oragenics or its Affiliates to the extent that they relate to Reverted Products, within sixty (60) days of such termination unless otherwise agreed, and EGI shall have the right to use any such Information in developing and commercializing Reverted Products and to license any Third Parties to do so.

(h) Third-Party Licenses. At EGI’s request, Oragenics shall promptly provide to EGI copies of all Third-Party agreements under which Oragenics or its Affiliates obtained a license under Patents claiming inventions or know-how specific to or used or incorporated into the development, manufacture and/or commercialization of the Reverted Products. At EGI’s request such that EGI may Commercialize the Reverted Products, Oragenics shall promptly work with EGI to either (A) assign to EGI the Third Party agreement(s), or (B) grant a sublicense (with an appropriate scope) to EGI under the Third Party agreement(s). Thereafter EGI shall be fully responsible for all obligations due for its actions under the sublicensed or assigned Third Party agreements. Notwithstanding the above, if EGI does not wish to assume any financial or other obligations associated with a particular Third Party agreement identified to EGI under this Section 10.4(h), then EGI shall so notify Oragenics and Oragenics shall not make such assignment or grant such sublicense (or cause it to be made or granted).

(i) Remaining Materials. At the request of EGI, Oragenics shall transfer to EGI all quantities of Reverted Product (including active pharmaceutical ingredient or work-in-process) in the possession of Oragenics or its Affiliates. Oragenics shall transfer to EGI all such quantities of Reverted Products without charge, except that EGI shall pay the reasonable costs of shipping.

(j) Third Party Vendors. At EGI’s request, Oragenics shall promptly provide to EGI copies of all agreements between Oragenics or its Affiliates and Third Party suppliers, vendors, or distributors that relate to the supply, sale, or distribution of Reverted Products in the Territory. At EGI’s request, Oragenics shall promptly: (A) with respect to such Third Party agreements relating solely to the applicable Reverted Products and permitting assignment, immediately assign (or cause to be assigned), such agreements to EGI, and (B) with respect to all other such Third Party agreements, Oragenics shall reasonably cooperate to assist EGI in obtaining the benefits of such agreements. Oragenics shall be liable for any costs associated with assigning a Third Party agreement to EGI or otherwise obtaining the benefits of such agreement for EGI, to the extent such costs are directly related to Oragenics’ breach. For the avoidance of doubt, EGI shall have no obligation to assume any of Oragenics’ obligations under any Third Party agreement.

(k) Commercialization. EGI shall have the right to develop and commercialize the Reverted Products itself or with one or more Third Parties, and shall have the right, without obligation to Oragenics, to take any such actions in connection with such activities as EGI (or its designee), at its discretion, deems appropriate.

(l) Confidential Information. Each Party shall promptly return, or at the other Party’s request destroy, any Confidential Information of the other Party in such Party’s possession or control at the time of termination; provided, however, that each Party shall be permitted to retain (i) a single copy of each item of Confidential Information of the other Party in its confidential legal files for the sole purpose of monitoring and enforcing its compliance with Article 7, (ii) Confidential Information of the other Party that is maintained as archive copies on the recipient Party’s disaster recovery and/or information technology backup systems, or (iii) Confidential Information of the other Party necessary to exercise such Party’s rights in Retained Products (in the case of Oragenics) or Reverted Products (in the case of EGI). The recipient of Confidential Information shall continue to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to any such Confidential Information retained in accordance with this Section 10.4(l).

10.5 Surviving Obligations. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect any rights of either Party arising out of any event or occurrence prior to termination, including, without limitation, any obligation of Oragenics to pay any amount which became due and payable under the terms and conditions of this Agreement prior to expiration or such termination. The following portions of this Agreement shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement: Sections 3.1 (as applicable with respect to 10.4(b), 5.5, 5.7, 6.1, 6.2 (with subsection (c) surviving only to the extent relating to EGI Patents that are relevant to Retained Products that, to EGI’s knowledge, are being developed or commercialized at such time, if any), 7.1, 7.2, 7.4, 7.5, 10.4, and 10.5; Articles 9, 11, and 12; and any relevant definitions in Article 1. Further, Article 7 and Sections 4.5(a), 4.5(c), 5.2 through 5.8, and 9.5 will survive termination of this Agreement to the extent there are applicable Retained Products.

ARTICLE 11

Dispute Resolution

11.1 Disputes. It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of disputes arising under this Agreement in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to litigation. In the event of any disputes, controversies or differences which may arise between the Parties out of or in relation to or in connection with this Agreement (other than disputes arising from a Committee), including, without limitation, any alleged failure to perform, or breach, of this Agreement, or any issue relating to the interpretation or application of this Agreement, then upon the request of either Party by written notice, the Parties agree to meet and discuss in good faith a possible resolution thereof, which good faith efforts shall include at least one in-person meeting between the Executive Officers of each Party. If the matter is not resolved within thirty (30) days following the written request for discussions, either Party may then invoke the provisions of Section 11.2. For the avoidance of doubt, any disputes, controversies or differences arising from a Committee pursuant to Article 2 shall be resolved solely in accordance with Section 2.4.

11.2 Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy, difference or claim which may arise between the Parties and not from a Committee, out of or in relation to or in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, arising out of or relating to the validity, construction, interpretation, enforceability, breach, performance, application or termination of this Agreement) that is not resolved pursuant to Section 11.1 shall, subject to Section 11.10, be settled by binding “baseball arbitration” as follows. Either Party, following the end of the thirty (30) day period referenced in Section 11.1, may refer such issue to arbitration by submitting a written notice of such request to the other Party. Promptly following receipt of such notice, the Parties shall meet and discuss in good faith and seek to agree on an arbitrator to resolve the issue, which arbitrator shall be neutral and independent of both Parties and all of their respective Affiliates, shall have significant experience and expertise in licensing and partnering agreements in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, and shall have some experience in mediating or arbitrating issues relating to such agreements. If the Parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator within fifteen (15) days of request by a Party for arbitration, then each Party shall select an arbitrator meeting the foregoing criteria and the two (2) arbitrators so selected shall select within ten (10) days of their appointment a third arbitrator meeting the foregoing criteria. Within fifteen (15) days after an arbitrator(s) is selected (in the case of the three-person panel, when the third arbitrator is selected), each Party will deliver to both the arbitrator(s) and the other Party a detailed written proposal setting forth its proposed terms for the resolution for the matter at issue (the “Proposed Terms” of the Party) and a memorandum (the “Support Memorandum”) in support thereof. The Parties will also provide the arbitrator(s) a copy of this Agreement, as it may be amended at such time. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the other Party’s Proposed Terms and Support Memorandum, each Party may submit to the arbitrator(s) (with a copy to the other Party) a response to the other Party’s Support Memorandum. Neither Party may have any other communications (either written or oral) with the arbitrator(s) other than for the sole purpose of engaging the arbitrator or as expressly permitted in this Section 11.2; provided that, the arbitrator(s) may convene a hearing if the arbitrator(s) so chooses to ask questions of the Parties and hear oral argument and discussion regarding each Party’s Proposed Terms. Within sixty (60) days after the arbitrator’s appointment, the arbitrator(s) will select one of the two Proposed Terms (without modification) provided by the Parties that he or she believes is most consistent with the intention underlying and agreed principles set forth in this Agreement. The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final, binding, and unappealable. For clarity, the arbitrator(s) must select as the only method to resolve the matter at issue one of the two sets of Proposed Terms, and may not combine elements of both Proposed Terms or award any other relief or take any other action.

11.3 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the substantive laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

11.4 Award. Any award to be paid by one Party to the other Party as determined by the arbitrator(s) as set forth above under Section 11.2 shall be promptly paid in United States dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset; and any costs, fees or taxes incident to enforcing the award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against the losing Party. Each Party agrees to abide by the award rendered in any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Article 11, and agrees that, subject to the United States Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, judgment may be entered upon the final award in any United States District Court located in New York and that other courts may award full faith and credit to such judgment in order to enforce such award. The award shall include interest from the date of any damages incurred for breach of the Agreement, and from the date of the award until paid in full, at a rate fixed by the arbitrator(s). With respect to money damages, nothing contained herein shall be construed to permit the arbitrator(s) or any court or any other forum to award consequential, incidental, special, punitive or exemplary damages. By entering into this agreement to arbitrate, the Parties expressly waive any claim for consequential, incidental, special, punitive or exemplary damages. The only damages recoverable under this Agreement are direct compensatory damages.

11.5 Costs. Each Party shall bear its own legal fees. The arbitrator(s) shall assess his or her costs, fees and expenses against the Party losing the arbitration.

11.6 Injunctive Relief. Nothing in this Article 11 will preclude either Party from seeking equitable relief or interim or provisional relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief, concerning a dispute either prior to or during any arbitration if necessary to protect the interests of such Party or to preserve the status quo pending the arbitration proceeding. Specifically, the Parties agree that a material breach by either Party of its obligations in Section 3.4 or Article 7 of this Agreement may cause irreparable harm to the other Party, for which damages may not be an adequate remedy. Therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages for breach of this Agreement, upon an adequate showing of material breach of such Section 3.4 or Article 7, and without further proof of irreparable harm other than this acknowledgement, such non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek (a) immediate equitable relief, specifically including, but not limited to, both interim and permanent restraining orders and injunctions, without bond, and (b) such other and further equitable relief as the court may deem proper under the circumstances. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 11.6 shall otherwise limit a breaching Party’s opportunity to cure a material breach as permitted in accordance with Section 10.2.

11.7 Confidentiality. The arbitration proceeding shall be confidential and the arbitrator(s) shall issue appropriate protective orders to safeguard each Party’s Confidential Information. Except as required by law, no Party shall make (or instruct the arbitrator(s) to make) any public announcement with respect to the proceedings or decision of the arbitrator(s) without prior written consent of the other Party. The existence of any dispute submitted to arbitration, and the award, shall be kept in confidence by the Parties and the arbitrator(s), except as required in connection with the enforcement of such award or as otherwise required by applicable law.

11.8 Survivability. Any duty to arbitrate under this Agreement shall remain in effect and be enforceable after termination of this Agreement for any reason.

11.9 Jurisdiction. For the purposes of this Article 11, the Parties acknowledge their diversity and agree to accept the jurisdiction of any United States District Court located in New York for the purposes of enforcing or appealing any awards entered pursuant to this Article 11 and for enforcing the agreements reflected in this Article 11 and agree not to commence any action, suit or proceeding related thereto except in such courts.

11.10 Patent Disputes. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article 11, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, any dispute, controversy or claim relating to the scope, validity, enforceability or infringement of any EGI Patents shall be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction in the country in which such Patent was filed or granted.

ARTICLE 12

General Provisions

12.1 Use of Name. No right, express or implied, is granted by this Agreement to either Party to use in any manner the name of the other or any other trade name or trademark of the other in connection with the performance of this Agreement, except that (a) either Party may use the name of the other Party as required by regulations and in press releases accompanying quarterly and annual earnings reports approved by the Audit Committee of the issuer’s Board of Directors, and (b) Oragenics may use the EGI Trademarks in accord with license and restrictions set forth herein.

12.2 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS PARAGRAPH IS INTENDED TO LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY PARTY UNDER ARTICLE 9, OR DAMAGES AVAILABLE FOR BREACHES OF THE OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 7.

12.3 Independent Parties. Neither Party is the employee or legal representative of the other Party for any purpose. Neither Party shall have the authority to enter into any contracts in the name of or on behalf of the other Party. This Agreement shall not constitute, create, or in any way be interpreted as a joint venture, partnership, or business organization of any kind.

12.4 Notice. All notices, including notices of address change, required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and deemed to have been given when delivered if personally delivered or sent by facsimile (provided that the party providing such notice promptly confirms receipt of such transmission with the other party by telephone), on the business day after dispatch if sent by a nationally-recognized overnight courier and on the third business day following the date of mailing if sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested.

12.6 Waiver. Any waiver (express or implied) by either Party of any breach of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

12.7 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, including any exhibits attached hereto, constitute the entire, final, complete and exclusive agreement between the Parties and supersede all previous agreements or representations, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement (including any prior confidentiality agreement between the Parties). All information of EGI or Oragenics to be kept confidential by the other Party under any prior confidentiality agreement, as of the Effective Date, shall be maintained as Confidential Information by such other Party under the obligations set forth in Article 7 of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in a writing signed by a duly authorized representative of each Party.

12.8 Non-assignability; Binding on Successors. Any attempted assignment of the rights or delegation of the obligations under this Agreement shall be void without the prior written consent of the non-assigning or non-delegating Party; provided, however, that either Party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement without such consent (a) to an Affiliate of such Party or (b) to its successor in interest in connection with any merger, acquisition, consolidation, corporate reorganization, or similar transaction, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, provided that such assignee agrees in writing to assume and be bound by the assignor’s obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors, executors, heirs, representatives, administrators and permitted assigns of the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that either Party assigns this Agreement to its successor in interest by way of merger, acquisition, consolidation, corporate reorganization, or similar transaction, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets (whether this Agreement is actually assigned or is assumed by such successor in interest or its affiliate by operation of law (e.g., in the context of a reverse triangular merger)), the intellectual property rights of such successor in interest or any of its Affiliates other than those licensed in this Agreement shall be automatically excluded from the rights licensed to the other Party under this Agreement.

12.9 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable to the other for its failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, except for payment obligations, during any period in which such performance is delayed because rendered impracticable or impossible due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation earthquakes, governmental regulation, fire, flood, labor difficulties, civil disorder, acts of terrorism and acts of God, provided that the Party experiencing the delay promptly notifies the other Party of the delay.

12.10 No Other Licenses. Neither Party grants to the other Party any rights or licenses in or to any intellectual property, whether by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, except to the extent expressly provided for under this Agreement.

12.11 Non-Solicitation. During the Term and for a period of one (1) year following the end of the Term, neither Oragenics nor EGI may directly or indirectly solicit in order to offer to employ, engage in any discussion regarding employment with, or hire any employee of the other Party or an individual who was employed by the other party with one (1) year prior to such solicitation, discussion, or hire, without the prior approval of such other Party.
