personnel of Validated Process on a single Target and a single cell line. The JSC shall establish
technical requirements with respect to the content of such written documentation and each such live
demonstration, as well as objective criteria for determining whether the transfer of the Validated
Process to Sigma has been completed for the purpose of triggering the milestone payments set forth
in Section 7.3(a).
(d)
Sigma shall pay the indicated amounts within thirty (30) days of achievement of the milestone.
For clarity, in the event that Sangamo achieves the milestone described in Section 7.3(a)(iii),
Sangamo shall be deemed to have achieved the milestone set forth in Section 7.3(a)(i) (if not
previously achieved), and in the event that Sangamo achieves the milestone described in Section
7.3(a)(v), Sangamo shall be deemed to have achieved the milestones set forth in Sections 7.3(a)(i)
and 7.3(a)(iii) (if not previously achieved). For further clarity, achievement of the milestone
described in Section 7.3(a)(iv) shall trigger the milestone

payment set forth in Section 7.3(a)(ii) (if not previously paid), and achievement of the
milestone described in Section 7.3(a)(vi) shall trigger the milestone payments set forth in
Sections 7.3(a)(ii) and 7.3(a)(iv) (if not previously paid).
(e) In no event will the total amount of milestone payments paid by Sigma pursuant to this
Section 7.3 exceed five million dollars ($5,000,000). All payments made by Sigma to Sangamo
pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be noncreditable and nonrefundable.
7.4 Commercial Milestone Payments. Sigma shall make each of the milestone payments indicated
below to Sangamo within thirty (30) days after aggregate, cumulative Net Sales of all Licensed
Products in the Territory first reach the corresponding dollar values.

7.5 Minimum Annual Payments.
(a)
Sigma shall pay to Sangamo on or before each anniversary of the Effective Date up to and
including the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, the minimum annual payment obligation set
forth in this Section 7.5 with respect to such anniversary. Such payment obligation for a
particular anniversary shall be reduced (but not below zero) by (i) any royalties owed to Sangamo
pursuant to Section 7.7 with respect to sales in the first quarter of the calendar year in which
such anniversary occurs or (ii) any payments owed to Sangamo pursuant to Section 7.6 with respect
to Sublicensing Revenue received by Sigma during the first quarter of such calendar year. Each
payment made by Sigma pursuant to this Section 7.5 is referred to as a

such Minimum Annual Payment was made or (ii) any payments owed to Sangamo pursuant to Section 7.6
with respect to Sublicensing Revenue received by Sigma during the second, third, and fourth
quarters of such calendar year.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the failure of Sigma to achieve a level of Net Sales in any
year triggering payment of a Minimum Annual Payment for such year shall not be deemed to be a
breach of any obligation of Sigma under this Agreement.
7.6 Sublicensing Revenues. Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter
up to and including the calendar quarter in which the second anniversary of the Effective Date
falls, Sigma shall pay Sangamo an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Sublicensing Revenues
received by Sigma during such calendar quarter. Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each
calendar quarter thereafter, Sigma shall pay Sangamo an amount equal twenty-five percent (25%) of
the Sublicensing Revenues received by Sigma during such calendar quarter. Each Sublicensing
Revenue payment shall be accompanied by a statement itemizing the amount and type (e.g., license
fee, milestone payment, etc.) of each payment received by Sigma from each Sublicensee during the
relevant calendar quarter. The Sublicensing Revenue payments made by Sigma to Sangamo pursuant to
this Section 7.6 shall be noncreditable (except as set forth in Section 7.5) and nonrefundable.

CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION |
33.
(i) at the rate of [***] of Net Sales of Licensed Product in any country where the creation,
development, manufacture, use or sale of such Licensed Product is covered by a Valid Claim or where
no Third Party is selling a product or service for use in the Field that competes with such
Licensed Product (which competition, for clarity, will be assessed on a product-by-product or
service-by-service basis and, solely in the case of products, shall require that such product and
such Licensed Product involve the targeting of the same gene (whether or not such targeting is
accomplished by the same mechanism));
(ii) at the rate of [***] of Net Sales of Licensed Products in all other cases.
(b) All royalties due under this Section 7.7 shall be paid quarterly, on a country-by-country
basis, within sixty (60) days of the end of the relevant calendar quarter for which royalties are

information for Sangamo to understand Sigma’s calculation of such royalty payment, including
without limitation the number, description, and gross sales and Net Sales, by country, of each
Licensed Product sold during the relevant calendar quarter. Each statement shall be deemed to be
“Confidential Information” of Sigma.
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, no multiple royalties will be required to be paid because a
Licensed Product or its manufacture, use, or sale is covered by more than one Valid Claim or patent
or patent application within the Sangamo Patents or Sangamo Know-How. For the avoidance of doubt,
no royalty shall be payable pursuant to Section 7.7(a)(ii) if a royalty is payable pursuant to
Section 7.7(a)(i).
7.8
Royalty Adjustment. If there exists in any country during the Term one or more patents of a
Third Party that cover ZFP Products or their use or manufacture and that would be

infringed by the making, use or sale of a Licensed Product and it is necessary for Sigma or
Sangamo to obtain a royalty-bearing license from such Third Party under such patent(s) in a
particular country, then Sigma shall be entitled to a credit, against the royalty payments due to
Sangamo upon sales of such Licensed Product in the applicable country, in an amount equal to [***]
of any royalty paid to such Third Party by Sigma (including royalties paid pursuant to Third Party
Licenses) based upon the sales of the Licensed Product in such country, provided that in no event
shall the royalty rate due to Sangamo to be reduced to below [***] of the applicable royalty rates
set out in Section 7.7.
7.9 Certain Payments to Sigma.
(a) Sangamo shall pay Sigma an amount equal to the Sigma Share of any Clinical Development

(i) Except as provided in Sections 7.9(b)(ii)-(iv), the Sigma Share shall be equal to [***].
(ii) In the event that Sigma achieves the First Tier Milestone, then, for any Sangamo
Collaborations that Sangamo enters into following Sangamo’s receipt of written notice of Sigma’s
achievement of the First Tier Milestone and prior to Sangamo’s receipt of written notice of Sigma’s
achievement of the Second Tier Milestone, the Sigma Share shall be equal to [***]
(iii)
In the event that Sigma achieves the Second Tier Milestone, then, for any Sangamo
Collaborations that Sangamo enters into following Sangamo’s receipt of written notice of Sigma’s
achievement of the Second Tier Milestone and prior to Sangamo’s receipt of written notice of
Sigma’s achievement of the Third Tier Milestone, the Sigma Share shall be equal to [***]. For
clarity, achievement and/or notice of the Second Tier Milestone shall

not affect the Sigma Share applicable to any Sangamo Collaborations entered into prior to
Sangamo’s receipt of written notice of Sigma’s achievement of the Second Tier Milestone.
(iv) In the event that Sigma achieves the Third Tier Milestone, then, for any Sangamo
Collaborations that Sangamo enters into following Sangamo’s receipt of written notice of Sigma’s
achievement of the Third Tier Milestone, the Sigma Share shall be equal to [***]. For clarity,
achievement and/or notice of the Third Tier Milestone shall not affect the Sigma Share applicable
to any Sangamo Collaborations entered into prior to Sangamo’s receipt of written notice of Sigma’s
achievement of the Third Tier Milestone.
7.10 Payments for Third Party Licenses.
(a) Sangamo Responsibilities. Sangamo (and not Sigma) shall be responsible for paying all
fees, milestones, royalties and other compensation owed to Third Parties pursuant to Third Party
Licenses identified in Exhibit B as of the Effective Date (including any post-Effective Date
amendments of such Third Party Licenses) on account of (i) the grant to Sigma of the licenses set
forth in Section 2.1 or (ii) the generation, development and/or commercialization of Licensed
Products by Sigma, but excluding any payments for which Sigma is responsible pursuant to Section
7.10(b). Sangamo and Sigma shall cooperate and provide such exchange of information as reasonably
necessary to enable Sigma to provide, at least ten (10) days in advance of the applicable due date,
with all information reasonably required by or useful to Sangamo to (A) ascertain when milestone
payments are owed under Third Party Licenses, (B) calculate the amounts of royalty payments due
under Third Party Licenses, and (C) provide required reports.
(b)
Sigma Responsibilities. Sigma shall be responsible for paying (i) any sublicense issuance and
sublicense maintenance fees owed to Third Parties pursuant to Third Party Licenses on account of
the grant of a sublicense by Sigma or its sublicensees and (ii) all milestones, royalties and other
compensation owed to Third Parties pursuant to post-Effective Date Third Party Licenses on account
of (A) the grant to Sigma of the licenses set forth in Section 2.1 or (B) the generation,
development and/or commercialization of Licensed Products by Sigma, its Affiliates, and
Sublicensees within the Field. Sigma shall provide and shall cause its Affiliates to provide
Sangamo at least ten (10) days in advance of the applicable due date,
|
|
|
*** |
|
CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION |
36.
with all information reasonably required by or useful to Sangamo to (A) ascertain when
milestone payments are owed under Third Party Licenses, (B) calculate the amounts of royalty
payments due under such Third Party Licenses, and (C) provide required reports. Sangamo shall
cooperate with Sigma, and shall facilitate such exchange of information, in each case as reasonably
necessary to assist Sigma in complying with the foregoing obligation.
(c) Joint Responsibilities. Sigma and Sangamo shall reasonably allocate responsibility for
paying upfront fees or license maintenance fees (i.e., fees paid in consideration for the
continued license from the applicable Third Party licensor to Sangamo) owed to Third Parties
pursuant to post-Effective Date Third Party Licenses. Such allocation shall take into account the
relative value that the intellectual property licensed to Sangamo under the applicable Third Party
License contributes to, on the one hand, the rights granted to Sigma hereunder and, on the other
hand, all of Sangamo’s retained rights hereunder. Sangamo and Sigma shall cooperate and provide
such exchange of information as reasonably necessary with respect thereto.
(d) Sublicense Agreements. Sigma may structure each Sublicense Agreement so that the
applicable Sublicensee shall be responsible for paying some or all of the fees and other amounts
owed to Third Parties pursuant to Third Party Licenses. If Sigma elects to structure a Sublicense
Agreement in this manner, Sigma shall collect the relevant payments and reports from the applicable
Sublicensee and shall pay to Sangamo all such payments and shall provide Sangamo with any
corresponding reports at least ten (10) days in advance of the applicable due date. For the
avoidance of doubt, regardless of whether or not Sigma makes a Sublicensee responsible for fees and
other amounts owed to Third Parties pursuant to Third Party Licenses, Sigma shall remain
responsible for making any payments required by Section 7.10(b) and (c).
7.11 Payment Method. All payments due under this Agreement shall be made by bank wire
transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Party to receive such
payment or by a Party’s check payable to the receiving Party at such address as furnished by the
receiving Party from time to time. All payments hereunder shall be made in United States dollars.
37.
7.12 Taxes. The Party receiving payment hereunder shall pay any and all taxes levied on
account of all payments it receives under this Agreement. If laws or regulations require that
taxes be withheld, the Party making payment will (a) deduct those taxes from the remittable
payment, (b) pay the taxes to the proper taxing authority, and (c) send evidence of the obligation
together with proof of tax payment to the Party receiving payment within thirty (30) days following
that tax payment.
7.13 Foreign Exchange. Conversion of sales recorded in local currencies to United States
dollars will be performed in a manner consistent with the Party making payments normal practices
used to prepare its audited financial statements for internal and external reporting purposes,
which uses a widely accepted source of published exchange rates.
7.14 Records; Inspection. Each Party shall keep complete, true and accurate books of account
and records for the purpose of determining the payments to be made or received under this
Agreement, including without limitation records of Net Sales necessary to verify payments made
under Section 7.7 and to verify the achievement of the First Tier Milestone, Second Tier Milestone,
and Third Tier Milestone under Section 7.9. Such books and records shall be kept for at least
three (3) calendar years following the end of the calendar quarter to which they pertain. Such
records will open for inspection during such three (3) calendar year period by independent
accountants reasonably acceptable to the Party whose records are being inspected, solely for the
purpose of verifying payment statements hereunder. Such inspections shall be made no more than
once each calendar year, at reasonable time and on reasonable notice. Inspections conducted under
this Section 7.14 shall be at the expense of the inspecting Party, unless such inspection reveals
an underpayment by, or overpayment to, the Party whose records were inspected that exceeds five
percent (5%) of the amount paid by or to such Party whose records are inspected as the case may be
for any period covered by the inspection is established in the course of such inspection, whereupon
all costs relating to the inspection for such period will be paid promptly by the Party whose
records were inspected. The Party whose records were inspected shall promptly pay to the
inspecting Party any unpaid amounts and/or refund to the inspecting Party any excess payments made
by the inspecting Party (in each case, plus interest) that are discovered as a result of an
inspection hereunder.
38.
7.15 Interest. If a Party fails to make any payment due under this Agreement, then interest
shall accrue on a daily basis at a rate equal to [***] above the then-applicable prime commercial
lending rate of CitiBank, N.A., San Francisco, California, or at the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law, whichever is the lower.
7.16 Additional Provisions. For the avoidance of doubt, and subject to Section 10.4(c), Sigma
shall not be obligated to make any payment pursuant to this Agreement following the termination of
this Agreement, except for amounts payable under Sections 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6 and 7.7 which
have fully accrued prior to such termination; termination shall not give rise to prorating of any
such payment that is not fully accrued at the time of termination. For clarity, any payments
payable under Section 6.2(a) shall be fully accrued upon delivery of the applicable Custom Project
Deliverable; any payments due under Section 6.3 shall be fully accrued upon Sangamo incurring the
applicable reimbursable costs or expenses; any payments payable under Section 7.9 shall be fully
accrued upon Sangamo’s receipt of the applicable Clinical Development Payment; any payments payable
under Section 7.10(b) shall be deemed to have been fully accrued prior to termination to the extent
that the triggering event occurred prior to termination and the corresponding payment obligation to
the relevant Third Party licensor comes due prior to, or remains due despite, termination of this
Agreement; any milestone payments payable under Section 7.3 or 7.4 shall be fully accrued upon
achievement of the applicable milestone event; any payments payable under Section 7.6 shall be
fully accrued upon Sigma’s receipt of the applicable Sublicensing Revenue; and any royalty payments
payable under Section 7.7 shall be fully accrued on the date of the relevant invoice or other
billing giving rise to Net Sales.

the licenses granted pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.3. Each Party may practice and grant licenses
under each Joint Invention and Joint Patent without the consent of, or a duty of accounting to, the
other Party, provided that such practice and licenses are consistent with such Party’s rights under
this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Joint Inventions that are not Joint Improvements, and
Joint Patents that are not Joint Improvement Patents shall not be subject to the rights and
licenses set out in Sections 2.1 and 2.3.
(e) Ownership of Improvements made by Sublicensees will be governed by the applicable
Sublicense Agreement, but shall in every case be subject to the license granted to Sangamo pursuant
to Section 2.2(b)(ii).
8.2 Employees; Cooperation.
(a) Each Party represents and agrees that all employees or others acting on its behalf in
performing its obligations under this Agreement shall be obligated under a binding written
agreement to assign to such Party all inventions (and all related intellectual property) made or
conceived by such employee or other person during and in connection with the Research Plan
Collaboration. The Parties agree to undertake to enforce such agreements (including, where
appropriate, by legal action) considering, among other things, the commercial value of such
inventions.
(b) The Party responsible for filing, prosecution, or maintenance of a particular Sangamo
Patent, Improvement Patent, or Joint Patent pursuant to Section 8.3, 8.4, or
40.
8.5 (the “Filing Party”) shall consult with and keep other Party (the “Non-Filing Party”)
fully informed of all issues relating to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of
such patent, and shall furnish to the Non-Filing Party copies of all documents received from, and
filed in, the applicable Patent Office. The Filing Party shall provide to the Non-Filing Party
copies of documents relevant to such preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance in sufficient
time prior to filing such document or making any payment due thereunder to allow for review and
comment by the Non-Filing Party, and the Filing Party shall consider such comments in good faith.
8.3 Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance of Sangamo Patents.
(a) As between the Parties, Sangamo shall have the first right to file, prosecute, and/or
maintain the Sangamo Patents (other than Joint Patents), for which it shall bear all associated
costs and expenses.
(b) Should Sangamo decide not to file or continue prosecuting or maintaining a particular
Sangamo Patent (other than a Joint Patent), it shall notify Sigma in writing promptly after such
decision is made and not less than sixty (60) days prior to any applicable deadline. Thereafter,
to the extent that no Third Party has a right to assume the prosecution and maintenance of such
Sangamo Patent, Sigma may assume such prosecution and maintenance at its sole cost and expense.
(c) Sigma’s rights under this Section 8.3 with respect to any Sangamo Patent licensed to
Sangamo by a Third Party shall be subject to the rights of such Third Party to file, prosecute,
and/or maintain such Sangamo Patent.
8.4 Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance of Sigma Improvement Patents. Sigma shall have the
first right to file, prosecute, and/or maintain all Sigma Improvement Patents, for which it shall
bear all associated costs and expenses. Should Sigma decide not to file or continue prosecuting or
maintaining a particular Sigma Improvement Patent, it shall notify Sangamo in writing promptly
after such decision is made and not less than sixty (60) days prior to any applicable deadline.
Thereafter, Sangamo shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume such filing,
prosecution and maintenance at its sole cost and expense.
41.
8.5 Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance of Joint Patents. Sangamo shall have the first right
to file, prosecute, and/or maintain all Joint Improvement Patents. The Parties shall determine on
a case-by-case basis, in good faith and by mutual agreement, the allocation of the associated costs
and expenses in connection therewith, which allocation shall take into account the relative value
of the applicable Joint Improvement Patent inside and outside the Field. The Parties shall
determine, in good faith and by mutual agreement, which of them should reasonably assume
responsibility for filing, prosecuting and maintaining other Joint Patents, and the Parties shall
share equally all associated costs and expenses in connection therewith. Should either Party
decide not to file or continue prosecuting or maintaining a particular Joint Patent, it shall
notify the other Party in writing promptly after such decision is made and not less than sixty (60)
days prior to any applicable deadline. Thereafter, the other Party shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to assume such filing, prosecution and maintenance at its sole cost and expense,
and if it does so, the declining Party shall assign to the other Party all its right, title and
interest to any such Joint Improvement Patent or Joint Patent in the applicable country, and upon
such assignment such Joint Patent in such country shall no longer be treated as a Joint Improvement
Patent or Joint Patent, respectively, hereunder but may be a Sangamo Patent or Sigma Improvement
Patent to the extent such former Joint Patent satisfies the definitions thereof (without giving
effect to the initial parenthetical in the definition of Sigma Improvements).
8.6 Enforcement of Sangamo Patents
(a) If either Party becomes aware of any Third Party activity in the Field (and outside the
Plant Field) that infringes a Sangamo Patent or any legal filing made by a Third Party with a court
or administrative agency alleging that a Sangamo Patent is invalid or unenforceable (collectively,
for the purpose of this Section 8.6, “Infringement”), then that Party shall give prompt written
notice to the other Party regarding such infringement.
(b) As between the Parties, Sangamo shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to
attempt to resolve such Infringement by commercially appropriate steps, including without
limitation the filing of an infringement suit using counsel of its own choice.
(c) If Sangamo fails to resolve such Infringement or to initiate a suit with respect thereto
within one hundred twenty (120) days after delivery of the notice set forth in
42.
Section 8.6(a), then upon Sigma’s request and Sangamo’s written consent (not to be
unreasonably withheld), Sigma shall have the right, but not the obligation, to attempt to resolve
such Infringement by commercially appropriate steps, including without limitation the filing of an
infringement suit using counsel of its own choice.
(d) In any event, the Party not bringing an infringement action under this Section 8.6 agrees
to be joined as a party to the suit, at the request and expense of the Party bringing such action,

compromise any such action in a way that adversely affects the other Party’s intellectual property
rights without such Party’s prior written consent.
(e) Any amounts recovered by the Party taking an action pursuant to this Section 8.6, whether
by settlement or judgment, shall be allocated first to reimburse each Party for any costs and
expenses incurred by such Party (and not otherwise reimbursed). Any remaining recovery shall be
shared by the Parties in proportion to the percentage of litigation expenses funded by each Party.
(f) Sigma’s rights under this Section 8.6 with respect to any Sangamo Patent licensed to
Sangamo by a Third Party shall be subject to the rights of such Third Party to enforce such Sangamo
Patent.
8.7 Enforcement of Sigma Improvement Patents

Improvement Patent, then that Party shall give prompt written notice to the other Party regarding
such infringement.
(b) With respect to infringement involving Third Party activity outside the Field or in the
Plant Field, Sangamo shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to attempt to
resolve such infringement, whether by settlement or judgment. If Sangamo fails to resolve
such infringement or to initiate a suit with respect thereto within one hundred twenty
(120) days after delivery of the notice set forth in Section 8.7(a), then Sigma shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to attempt to resolve such infringement by commercially
appropriate steps, including without limitation the filing of an infringement suit using
counsel of its own choice.
43.
(c) With respect to infringement involving Third Party activity solely in the
Field (and not in the Plant Field), Sigma shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
attempt to resolve such infringement or allegation, whether by settlement or judgment.
(d) A Party’s right to initiate a patent infringement suit under this Section 8.7 shall
include the right to resolve any allegation that a Sigma Improvement Patent is invalid or
unenforceable brought as a counterclaim in such suit.
(e) In any event, the Party not bringing an infringement action under this Section 8.7 agrees
to be joined as a party to the suit, at the request and expense of the Party bringing such action,
and to provide reasonable assistance in any such action, at the requesting Party’s expense.
Neither Party shall settle or otherwise compromise any such action in a way that adversely affects
the other Party’s intellectual property rights without such Party’s prior written consent.
(f) Any amounts recovered by the Party taking an action pursuant to this Section 8.7, whether
by settlement or judgment, shall be allocated first to reimburse each Party for any costs and
expenses incurred by such Party (and not otherwise reimbursed). Any remaining recovery shall be
shared by the Parties in proportion to the percentage of litigation expenses funded by each Party.
8.8 Enforcement of Joint Patents.
(a) If either Party becomes aware of any Third Party activity that infringes a Joint Patent,
then that Party shall give prompt written notice to the other Party regarding such infringement.
(b) With respect to infringement of a Joint Improvement Patent involving Third Party activity
outside the Field or in the Plant Field:
(i) Sangamo shall have the right, but not the obligation, to attempt to resolve such
infringement by commercially appropriate steps, including without limitation the filing of an
infringement suit using counsel of its own choice. If Sangamo institutes such a suit with
respect to a Joint Patent, it will do so at its expense, and will be
44.
entitled to keep all recoveries.
(ii) If Sangamo fails to resolve such infringement or to initiate a suit with respect
thereto within one hundred twenty (120) days after delivery of the notice set forth in Section
8.8(a), then Sigma shall have the right, but not the obligation, to attempt to resolve such
infringement by commercially appropriate steps, including without limitation the filing of an
infringement suit using counsel of its own choice. If Sigma initiates such a suit with
respect to a Joint Patent it will do so at its own expense, and will be entitled to keep all
recoveries.
(c) With respect to infringement of a Joint Improvement Patent involving Third Party activity
in the Field (and not in the Plant Field):
(i) Sigma shall have the right, but not the obligation, to attempt to resolve such
infringement by commercially appropriate steps, including without limitation the filing of an
infringement suit using counsel of its own choice. If Sigma institutes such a suit with
respect to a Joint Patent, it will do so at its expense, and will be entitled to keep all
recoveries.
(ii) If Sigma fails to resolve such infringement or to initiate a suit with respect
thereto within one hundred twenty (120) days after delivery of the notice set forth in Section
8.8(a), then Sangamo shall have the right, but not the obligation, to attempt to resolve such
infringement by commercially appropriate steps, including without limitation the filing of an
infringement suit using counsel of its own choice. If Sangamo initiates such a suit with
respect to a Joint Patent it will do so at its own expense, and will be entitled to keep all
recoveries.
(d) If either Party becomes aware of any Third Party activity that infringes a Joint Patent
other than a Joint Improvement Patent, then that Party shall give prompt written notice to the
other Party regarding such infringement. The Parties shall then consult in good faith regarding
such asserted infringement and the reasonable actions that the Parties may take in connection
therewith.
(e) In any event, the Party not bringing an infringement action under this
45.
Section 8.8 agrees
to be joined as a party to the suit, at the request and expense of the Party
bringing such action, and to provide reasonable assistance in any such action, at the
requesting Party’s expense. Neither Party shall settle or otherwise compromise any such action in
a way that adversely affects the other Party’s intellectual property rights without such Party’s
prior written consent.
8.9 Defense of Third Party Infringement Claims. If a Third Party asserts that a patent or
other right Controlled by it is infringed by activities in the Field or a Party becomes aware of a
patent or other right that might form the basis for such a claim, the Party first obtaining
knowledge of such a claim or such potential claim shall immediately provide the other Party with
notice thereof and the related facts in reasonable detail. The Parties shall discuss the merits of
such claim or potential claims and shall attempt, if they determine doing so to be reasonably
appropriate, in good faith to mutually agree whether to obtain a license from such Third Party. If
the intellectual property pertains to ZFP Products both inside and outside the Field, then, as
between the Parties, Sangamo shall be the party that enters into any license agreement with such
Third Party and Sigma shall be entitled to a sublicense in the Field under such license agreement
(or any license agreement entered into by Sangamo hereunder that pertains to ZFP Products in the
Field) if it follows the procedures therefor set forth in Section 2.6(d) and/or 2.6(e) (as
applicable). If the intellectual property pertains to ZFP Product inside but not outside the
Field, then Section 2.6(b) shall apply. In the event that Sigma is the party that enters into a
license agreement with such Third Party, Sigma shall be responsible for amounts payable with
respect to any such license; provided, however, that royalties paid by Sigma pursuant to such
license shall be creditable pursuant to Section 7.8 to the extent such royalties satisfy the terms
thereof. Neither Party shall be required to conduct any work under this Agreement which it
believes in good faith may infringe Third Party patent or other intellectual property rights.
Except as set forth in Article 12 or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, each Party shall
control and bear the expense of its own defense of such Third Party claim. The parties shall
discuss with each other on a regular basis all actions under and pursuant to this Section 8.9 in
order to endeavor in good faith to resolve any situation hereunder in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to both parties.
46.
ARTICLE 9
CONFIDENTIALITY
9.1 Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. All Information disclosed by one Party to the
other Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be “Confidential Information” for all purposes
hereunder. The Parties agree that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of seven (7)
years thereafter, a Party receiving Confidential Information of the other Party will (a) use
commercially reasonable efforts to maintain in confidence such Confidential Information (but not
less than those efforts as such Party uses to maintain in confidence its own proprietary industrial
information of similar kind and value) and not to disclose such Confidential Information to any
Third Party without prior written consent of the other Party, except for disclosures made in
confidence to any Third Party under terms consistent with this Agreement and made in furtherance of
this Agreement or of rights granted to a Party hereunder, and (b) not use such other Party’s
Confidential Information for any purpose except those permitted by this Agreement (it being
understood that this subsection (b) shall not create or imply any rights or licenses not expressly
granted under Article 2). In any event, the Parties agree to take all reasonable action to avoid
disclosure of Confidential Information except as permitted hereunder.
9.2 Exceptions. The obligations in Section 9.1 shall not apply with respect to any portion of
the Confidential Information that the receiving Party can show by competent written proof:
(a) is publicly disclosed by the disclosing Party, either before or after it is disclosed to
the receiving Party hereunder; or
(b) was known to the receiving Party or any of its Affiliates, without obligation to keep it
confidential, prior to disclosure by the disclosing Party; or
(c) is subsequently disclosed to the receiving Party or any of its Affiliates by a Third Party
lawfully in possession thereof and without obligation to keep it confidential; or
(d) is published by a Third Party or otherwise becomes publicly available or enters the public
domain, either before or after it is disclosed to the receiving Party; or
47.
(e) has been independently developed by employees or contractors of the receiving Party or any
of its Affiliates without the aid, application or use of Confidential Information.
9.3 Authorized Disclosure. A Party may disclose the Confidential Information belonging to the
other Party to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in the following instances:
(a) Disclosures required by operation of law or court order (provided the Party required to
disclose Confidential Information belonging to the other Party gives the other Party as much prior
notice as is reasonably practicable and discloses only such information as it is obligated to); and
(b) disclosures in connection with the performance of this Agreement to Affiliates and
then-current and potential collaborators, partners, licensees, research collaborators, investment
bankers, investors, lenders, acquirers, employees, consultants, agents, customers, sublicensees,
and contractors, each of whom prior to disclosure must be bound by similar obligations of
confidentiality and non-use at least equivalent in scope to those set forth in this Article 9.
9.4 Terms of Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that the terms of this Agreement shall be
treated as Confidential Information of both Parties. Such terms may be disclosed by a Party to
individuals or entities covered by Section 9.3(b) above, each of whom prior to disclosure must be
bound by similar obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least equivalent in scope to those
set forth in this Article 9. In addition, a copy of this Agreement may be filed by either Party
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In connection with any such filing such Party shall
endeavor to obtain confidential treatment of economic and trade secret information, and shall keep
the other Party informed as the planned filing (including, but not limited to providing the other
Party with the proposed filing reasonably in advance of making the planned filing) and consider the
requests of the other Party regarding such confidential treatment. With respect to any Third Party
License that requires Sangamo to provide to the applicable Third Party licensor a copy of this
Agreement or a summary of the terms of this Agreement, Sangamo may provide such copy or summary to
such Third Party licensor in confidence.
48.
9.5 Termination of Prior Agreements. This Agreement supersedes the Confidential Disclosure
Agreement between Sangamo and the Biotechnology Division of Sigma-Xxxxxxx Corporation, dated August
24, 2006. All Information exchanged between the Parties under such earlier agreement shall be
deemed Confidential Information of the disclosing Party and shall be subject to the terms of this
Article 9.
9.6 Publicity. The Parties agree that the public announcement of the execution of this
Agreement shall be substantially in the form of the press release attached as Exhibit E. Any other
publication, news release or other public announcement relating to this Agreement or to the
performance hereunder, shall first be reviewed and approved by both Parties, and neither Party
shall use the other Party’s name in any such public disclosure without such other Party’s prior
written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any disclosure which is required by law as advised
by the disclosing Party’s counsel may be made without the prior consent of the other Party,
although the other Party shall be given prompt notice of any such legally required disclosure and
to the extent practicable shall provide the other Party an opportunity to comment on the proposed
disclosure. The foregoing shall not be construed to prevent or restrict Sigma from making such
public disclosures as it considers reasonably appropriate with respect to the marketing and sales
of Licensed Products and Licensed Services; for the avoidance of doubt, notice to or approval by
Sangamo of such public disclosures shall not be required (subject, however, to any applicable terms
of Sections 9.1-9.4 and the restriction set forth above on the use of Sangamo’s name).
9.7 Publications. Subject to Section 9.3, each Party agrees to provide the other Party the
opportunity to review any proposed abstracts, manuscripts or presentations (including verbal
presentations) which relate to the use of Licensed Products in the Field at least thirty (30) days
prior to its intended submission for publication (or in the case of public disclosures by Sigma for
the marketing and sales of Licensed Products and Licensed Services, seven (7) days) and agrees,
upon request, not to submit any such abstract or manuscript for publication until the other Party
is given a reasonable period of time to secure patent protection for any material related to such
publication which it believes to be patentable. Both Parties understand that a reasonable
commercial strategy may require delay of publication of information or filing of patent
applications. The Parties agree to review and consider delay of publication and filing of patent
49.
applications under certain circumstances. The JSC will review such requests and recommend
subsequent action. Neither Party shall have the right to publish or present Confidential
Information of the other Party which is subject to Section 9.1.
9.8 Patents. If disclosure of Confidential Information of one Party is necessary or useful in
prosecution of a patent application being prosecuted by the other Party, the Party to whom the
Confidential Information belongs will, on request, consider permitting use of the information and
will provide the requesting party with a decision without undue delay.
ARTICLE 10
TERM AND TERMINATION
10.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall expire upon
the last payment obligation as provided in Article 7, unless earlier terminated in accordance with
Section 10.2 or 10.3.
10.2 Termination at Will. Sigma may terminate this Agreement in its entirety at any time by
providing ninety (90) days written notice thereof to Sangamo. Such termination shall have the
following effects:

to Sigma under this Agreement shall terminate;
(c) Sigma shall grant to Sangamo and its Affiliates a worldwide, fully paid, perpetual,
irrevocable, non-exclusive license (with the right to sublicense) to practice the Sigma
Improvements (and any patents and patent applications claiming Sigma Improvements) for all purposes
in the Field; and
(d) Sigma shall provide Sangamo with a complete and accurate list of (i) all
50.
projects in which Sigma, a Sigma Affiliate, or a Sublicensee (to the extent of Sigma’s
knowledge) practiced the Sangamo Technology in the Field prior to the termination effective date
and (ii) all Licensed Products in existence as of the effective date of termination.
10.3 Termination for Material Breach.
(a) If either Party believes that the other Party is in material breach of this Agreement
(including without limitation any material breach of a representation or warranty made in this
Agreement), then the non-breaching Party may deliver notice of such breach to the other Party. In
such notice the non-breaching Party shall identify the actions or conduct that such Party would
consider to be an acceptable cure of such breach. For all breaches other than a failure to make a
payment set forth in Article 7, the allegedly breaching Party shall have sixty (60) days to either
cure such breach. For any breach arising from a failure to make a payment set forth in Article 7,
the allegedly breaching Party shall have thirty (30) days to cure such breach.
(b) If the Party receiving notice of breach fails to cure such breach within the 60-day period
or 30-day period (as applicable), the Party originally delivering the notice may terminate this
Agreement upon written notice.
(c) If a Party gives notice of termination under this Section 10.3 and the other Party
disputes in good faith whether such notice was proper, then the issue of whether this Agreement has
been terminated shall be resolved in accordance with Section 13.1. If as a result of such dispute
resolution process it is determined that the notice of termination was proper, then such
termination shall be deemed to have been effective if the breaching Party fails thereafter to cure
such breach in accordance with the determination made in the resolution process under Section 13.1
within the time period set forth in Section 10.3(a) for the applicable breach following such
determination. If as a result of such dispute resolution process it is determined that the notice

remained in effect.
(d) Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall have the following
effects:
(i) all licenses and rights granted to Sigma under this Agreement
51.
(including without limitation the licenses and rights set forth in Section 2.1) shall
terminate;
(ii) all sublicenses granted by Sigma or its sublicensees under the licenses and rights
granted to Sigma under this Agreement shall terminate;
(iii) the rights and obligations of the Parties set forth in Section 10.2(d) shall apply;
(e) if terminated as a result of breach by Sigma, the rights and obligations of the Parties
set forth in Section 10.2(c) shall also apply; and
(f) if terminated as a result of breach by Sangamo, all licenses and rights granted to Sangamo
as set forth in Section 2.3(b) shall terminate.
10.4 Effect of Termination; Survival.
(a) In addition to the specific items identified as effects of termination pursuant to Section
10.2 or 10.3, the following provisions of this Agreement shall survive any expiration or
termination of this Agreement, regardless of cause: Sections 2.3(b), 6.4 (last sentence only),

13.18, and Articles 9 (other than Sections 9.7 and 9.8) and 12.
(b) In any event, termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any liability
which accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination nor preclude either Party
from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity with respect to
any breach of this Agreement nor prejudice either Party’s right to obtain performance of any
obligation.
(c) In the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Sigma shall cease, and shall
cause its Affiliates and sublicensees to cease, all development and commercialization of Licensed
Products, and Sigma shall not use or practice, nor shall it cause or permit any of its Affiliates
or such sublicensees to use or practice, directly or indirectly, any
52.
Sangamo Technology; provided, however, that Sigma shall have a six-month period following
termination to sell inventory of Licensed Products existing as of the date of termination and
perform previously agreed-upon Licensed Services subject to the payment obligations set forth in
Section 7.7 (subject to Sections 7.8 through 7.15).

granted by Sigma; and
(vi) that the conception, development, and reduction to practice of the technology licensed in

MISCELLANEOUS
13.1 Dispute Resolution. In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of, relating to
or in connection with any provision of this Agreement, other than a dispute addressed in Section
13.3, the Parties shall try to settle their differences amicably between themselves first, by
referring the disputed matter to the Senior Vice President of Business Development of Sangamo and
the President of the Research Biotech Unit of Sigma (or if either foregoing position does not exist
at such time, the closest successor in title to such position) (the “Representatives”) and, if not
resolved by such Representatives, by referring the disputed matter to the CEOs of the Parties or
their designees. In addition, the Parties shall endeavor to resolve disputes of a primarily
technical basis (for example, if technical milestones under Section 7.3 are payable) through formal
or informal dispute resolution involving technical experts. Either Party may initiate such
informal dispute resolution by sending written notice of the dispute to the other Party, and,
within twenty (20) days after such notice, the Representatives shall meet for attempted resolution
by good faith negotiations. If the Representatives are unable to resolve such dispute within
thirty (30) days of their first meeting for such negotiations, then the CEOs shall meet within
twenty (20) days thereafter for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations. If the CEOs are
unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days of their first meeting for such
negotiations, either Party may seek to have such dispute resolved in any United States federal or
state court of competent jurisdiction and appropriate venue. To the extent permitted by law, the
Party that seeks such judicial resolution hereby consents to the other Party’s forum of choice,
provided the choice is limited to California or Missouri.
61.
13.2 Governing Law. Resolution of all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or
the performance, enforcement, breach or termination of this Agreement and any remedies relating
thereto, shall be governed by and construed under the substantive laws of the State of
Delaware,
without regard to conflicts of law rules that would cause the application of the laws of another
jurisdiction.
13.3 Patents and Trademarks. Any dispute, controversy or claim relating to the scope,
validity, enforceability or infringement of any patents or trademark rights shall be submitted to a
court of competent jurisdiction in the territory in which such patents or trademark rights were
granted or arose.
13.4 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement set forth the complete, final and exclusive
agreement and all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and
understandings between the Parties hereto and supersedes and terminates all prior agreements and
understandings between the Parties. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties,
representations, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties other
than as are set forth herein and therein. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition
to this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties unless reduced to writing and signed by an
authorized officer of each Party.
13.5 Export Control. This Agreement is made subject to any restrictions concerning the export
of products or technical information from the United States of America or other countries which may
be imposed upon or related to Sangamo or Sigma from time to time. Each Party agrees that it will
not export, directly or indirectly, any technical information acquired from the other Party under
this Agreement or any products using such technical information to a location or in a manner that
at the time of export requires an export license or other governmental approval, without first
obtaining the written consent to do so from the appropriate agency or other governmental entity.
13.6 Bankruptcy
(a) All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement, including amendments
hereto, by each Party to the other Party are, for all purposes of
62.
Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code (“Title 11”), licenses of rights to
intellectual property as defined in Title 11. Each Party agrees during the term of this Agreement
to create and maintain current copies or, if not amenable to copying, detailed descriptions or
other appropriate embodiments, to the extent feasible, of all such intellectual property. If a
case is commenced by or against either Party (the “Bankrupt Party”) under Title 11, then, unless
and until this Agreement is rejected as provided in Title 11, the Bankrupt Party (in any capacity,
including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, a
Title 11 Trustee) shall, at the election of the Bankrupt Party made within sixty (60) days after
the commencement of the case (or, if no such election is made, immediately upon the request of the
non-Bankrupt Party) either (i) perform all of the obligations provided in this Agreement to be
performed by the Bankrupt Party including, where applicable and without limitation, providing to
the non-Bankrupt Party portions of such intellectual property (including embodiments thereof) held
by the Bankrupt Party and such successors and assigns or otherwise available to them or (ii)
provide to the non-Bankrupt Party all such intellectual property (including all embodiments
thereof) held by the Bankrupt Party and such successors and assigns or otherwise available to them.
(b) If a Title 11 case is commenced by or against the Bankrupt Party and this Agreement is
rejected as provided in Title 11 and the non-Bankrupt Party elects to retain its rights hereunder
as provided in Title 11, then the Bankrupt Party (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession)
and its successors and assigns (including, without limitations, a Title 11 Trustee) shall provide
to the non-Bankrupt Party all such intellectual property (including all embodiments thereof) held
by the Bankrupt Party and such successors and assigns or otherwise available to them immediately
upon the non-Bankrupt Party’s written request therefor. Whenever the Bankrupt Party or any of its
successors or assigns provides to the non-Bankrupt Party any of the intellectual property licensed
hereunder (or any embodiment thereof) pursuant to this Section 13.6, the non-Bankrupt Party shall
have the right to perform the obligations of the Bankrupt Party hereunder with respect to such
intellectual property, but neither such provision nor such performance by the non-Bankrupt Party
shall release the Bankrupt Party from any such obligation or liability for failing to perform it.
(c) All rights, powers and remedies of the non-Bankrupt Party provided
63.
herein are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other rights, powers and
remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including, without limitation, Title 11) in
the event of the commencement of a Title 11 case by or against the Bankrupt Party. The
non-Bankrupt Party, in addition to the rights, power and remedies expressly provided herein, shall
be entitled to exercise all other such rights and powers and resort to all other such remedies as
may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity (including, without limitation, under Title 11) in
such event. The Parties agree that they intend the foregoing non-Bankrupt Party rights to extend
to the maximum extent permitted by law and any provisions of applicable contracts with Third
Parties, including without limitation for purposes of Title 11, (i) the right of access to any
intellectual property (including all embodiments thereof) of the Bankrupt Party or any Third Party
with whom the Bankrupt Party contracts to perform an obligation of the Bankrupt Party under this
Agreement, and, in the case of the Third Party, which is necessary for the development,
registration and manufacture of Licensed Products and (ii) the right to contract directly with any
Third Party described in (i) in this sentence to complete the contracted work. Any intellectual
property provided pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13.6 shall be subject to the licenses
set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and the payment obligations of this Agreement, which shall be
deemed to be royalties for purposes of Title 11.
13.7 Force Majeure. Both Parties shall be excused from the performance of their obligations
under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by force majeure and the
nonperforming Party promptly provides notice of the prevention to the other Party. Such excuse
shall be continued so long as the condition constituting force majeure continues and the
nonperforming Party takes reasonable efforts to remove the condition. For purposes of this
Agreement, “force majeure” shall mean conditions beyond the control of the Parties, including
without limitation, an act of God, voluntary or involuntary compliance with any regulation, law or
order of any government, war, terrorism, civil commotion, labor strike or lock-out, epidemic,
failure or default of public utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or
materials by fire, earthquake, storm or like catastrophe; provided, however, the payment of
invoices due and owing hereunder shall not be delayed by the payer because of a force majeure
affecting the payer.
13.8 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall
64.
be in writing, shall specifically refer to this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been
sufficiently given for all purposes if mailed by first class certified or registered mail, postage
prepaid, express delivery service or personally delivered. Unless otherwise specified in writing,
the mailing addresses of the Parties shall be as described below.

13.9 Maintenance of Records. Each Party shall keep and maintain all records required by law
or regulation with respect to Licensed Products and shall make copies of such records available to
the other Party upon request.
13.10 United States Dollars. References in this Agreement to “dollars” or “$” shall mean the
legal tender of the United States of America.
13.11 No Strict Construction. This Agreement has been prepared jointly and shall not be
strictly construed against either Party. Ambiguities, if any, in this Agreement shall not be
construed against any Party, irrespective of which Party may be deemed to have authored the
ambiguous provision.
13.12 Assignment. Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or
65.
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other, except a Party may make
such an assignment without the other Party’s consent to an Affiliate or to a Third Party successor
to substantially all of the business of such Party to which this Agreement relates, whether in a
merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or other transaction; provided that any such permitted
successor or assignee of rights and/or obligations hereunder is obligated, by reason of operation
of law or pursuant to a written agreement with the other Party, to assume performance of this
Agreement or such rights and/or obligations; and provided, further, that if assigned to an
Affiliate, the assigning Party shall remain jointly and severally responsible for the performance
of this Agreement by such Affiliate. Any permitted assignment shall be binding on the successors
of the assigning Party. Any assignment or attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the
terms of this Section 13.12 shall be null and void and of no legal effect.
13.13 Electronic Data Interchange. If both Parties elect to facilitate business activities
hereunder by electronically sending and receiving data in agreed formats (also referred to as
Electronic Data Interchange or “EDI”) in substitution for conventional paper-based documents, the
terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to such EDI activities.
13.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.
13.15 Further Actions. Each Party agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver such further
instruments, and to do all such other acts, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry
out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.
13.16 Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be
invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be or is
taken, the provision shall be considered severed from this Agreement and shall not serve to
invalidate any remaining provisions hereof. The Parties shall make a good faith effort to replace
any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives
contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.
13.17 Headings. The headings for each article and section in this Agreement have been
66.
inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to limit or expand on the
meaning of the language contained in the particular article or section.
13.18 No Waiver. Any delay in enforcing a Party’s rights under this Agreement or any waiver
as to a particular default or other matter shall not constitute a waiver of such Party’s rights to
the future enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, excepting only as to an express written
and signed waiver as to a particular matter for a particular period of time.

It is understood that XXXXX XXXXXXX is subject to United States laws and regulations
controlling the export of technical data, computer software, laboratory prototypes and other
commodities (including the Arms Export Control Act, as amended and the Export Administration Act of
1979), and that their obligations hereunder are contingent on 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. XXXXX XXXXXXX neither represents that a license
shall not be required nor that, if required, it shall be issued.

LICENSEE shall not use the name of XXXXX XXXXXXX, nor any of its employees, or any adaptation

XXXXXXX under one or more of the patents and/or applications comprising the Patent Rights.
ARTICLE XIII — TERMINATION
13.1 This Agreement shall terminate if LICENSEE dissolves, unless this Agreement has been
assigned prior to the date of dissolution.
13.2 Should LICENSEE fail to pay XXXXX XXXXXXX royalties due and payable hereunder, XXXXX
XXXXXXX shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on sixty (60) days’ written notice, unless
LICENSEE shall pay XXXXX XXXXXXX within the sixty (60) day period, all such royalties and interest
due and payable. Upon the expiration of the sixty (60) day period, if LICENSEE shall not have paid
all such royalties and interest due and payable, the rights, privileges and license granted
hereunder shall terminate.
13.3 Upon any material breach or default of this Agreement by LICENSEE other than those
occurrences set out in Paragraphs 13.1 and 13.2 hereinabove, which shall always take precedence in
that order over any material breach or default referred to in this Paragraph 13.3, XXXXX XXXXXXX
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the rights, privileges and license granted
hereunder by giving ninety (90) days’ notice to LICENSEE. Such termination shall become effective
unless LICENSEE shall have cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of the ninety
(90) day period.

release either party from any obligation that matured prior to the effective date of such
termination. LICENSEE and any Subsidiary and sublicensee thereof may, however, after the effective
date of such termination, sell all Licensed Products, and complete Licensed Products in the process
of manufacture at the time of such termination and sell the same, provided that LICENSEE shall pay
to XXXXX XXXXXXX the royalties thereon as required by Article IV of this Agreement and shall submit
the reports required by Article V hereof on the sales of Licensed Products.
13.6 Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason during the Exclusive Period, any
sublicensee not then in default shall have the right to seek a license from XXXXX XXXXXXX under the
same terms and conditions as set forth hereunder. In addition, in the event that XXXXX XXXXXXX
terminates this Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 13.1, 13.2, or 13.3, each sublicense granted by
LICENSEE which complies with the sublicense requirements of Paragraph 2.3, is in full force and
effect and not then in default, will survive such termination of this Agreement and such
sublicensee shall become a direct licensee of XXXXX XXXXXXX, provided that (a) JHU’s obligations to
such sublicensee are no greater than JHU’s obligations to LICENSEE under this
F-5.
Agreement, (b) the scope of such sublicensee’s rights with respect to the Patent Rights shall
remain unchanged and such sublicensee shall be subject to all other non-financial terms and
conditions in this Agreement that apply to such scope of rights, (c) all further sublicenses
granted by such sublicensee prior to termination of this Agreement shall also survive such
termination, (d) such sublicensee (or if there are at such time more than one such sublicensees,
such sublicensees severally and jointly) shall be required to make any minimum annual royalty
payments due pursuant to Paragraph 4.4 and (e) such sublicensee shall be required to make any other
monetary payment(s) that, had this Agreement not been terminated, LICENSEE would have been required
to make under this Agreement as a result of the activities of such sublicensee. Each such
sublicensee shall be an intended third-party beneficiary of the preceding sentence. LICENSEE shall
notify XXXXX XXXXXXX of each non-defaulted sublicense in existence at the time of termination by
XXXXX XXXXXXX pursuant to Paragraph 13.1, 13.2, or 13.3. (as amended on May 21, 2007)
