Company shall reimburse such FTE Costs, Third Party Expenses and MacroGenics Out-of-Pocket Patent Costs within sixty (60) days after receipt of an invoice issued by MacroGenics describing such costs in reasonable detail and providing appropriate supporting documentation.
9.3 Milestone Payments. Company will notify MacroGenics within [***]
following the achievement by Company, its Affiliate or sublicensee of each Development Milestone, each Approval Milestone or Co-Funding Approval Milestone, as applicable, and each Sales Milestone or Co-Funding Sales Milestone, as applicable (collectively, the "Milestone Events"). Within [***] after achievement of each Milestone Event, Company shall remit the applicable Development Milestone Payment, Approval Milestone Payment or Co-Funding Approval Milestone Payment, as applicable, or Sales Milestone Payment or Co-Funding Sales Milestone Payment, as applicable (collectively, the "Milestone Payments") to MacroGenics. Each Milestone Payment by Company pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall be payable only once. For the sake of clarity, if Development of a first Product is discontinued prior to the time at which a Milestone Payment pursuant to this Section 9.3 is made with respect to such Product, then the achievement by a subsequent Product of any Milestone Event for which the Development of such first Product did not result in the achievement of a Milestone Payment under this Section 9.3 shall be deemed to be the first achievement of such milestone event under this Section 9.3. In addition, if for any reason the [***] Development Milestone does not occur prior to the occurrence of the first [***] Development Milestone, then the [***] Development Milestone shall be deemed to occur concurrently with the occurrence of the [***] Development Milestone (e.g., if Development Milestone [***] occurs with respect to an Indication and Development Milestone [***] has not previously occurred with respect to such Indication or any other Indication, then Development Milestone [***]will be deemed to occur concurrently with Development Milestone [***] and Development Milestone Payments [***] and [***] shall become due and payable in accordance with this Section 9.3). Similarly, if for any reason a [***] Development Milestone does not occur with respect to an Indication prior to the occurrence of a [***] Trial Development Milestone with respect to such Indication, then a [***] Trial Development Milestone shall be deemed to occur concurrently with the occurrence of such [***] Development Milestone, but only if at least one of the [***] Development Milestones has not yet occurred with respect to another Indication (e.g. if (a) Development Milestone [***] occurs with respect to an Indication (other than [***]) and none of Development Milestone [***]have occurred with respect to such Indication or any other Indication, then Development Milestone [***] will be deemed to occur concurrently with Development Milestone [***] and Development Milestone Payments [***] and [***] shall become due and payable in accordance with this Section 9.3 or (b) if Development Milestone [***] occurs with respect to [***] and Development Milestone [***] has not yet occurred with respect to [***], then Development Milestone [***] will be deemed to occur concurrently with Development Milestone [***] and Development Milestone Payments [***] and [***] shall become due and payable in accordance with this Section 9.3).

CONFIDENTIALITY
12.1 Nondisclosure. Each Party agrees that, during the Term and for a period of [***] thereafter, the Party (the "Receiving Party") receiving Confidential Information of the other Party (the "Disclosing Party") shall (a) maintain in confidence such Confidential Information using not less than the efforts such Receiving Party uses to maintain in confidence its own confidential or proprietary Information of similar kind and value, (b) not disclose such Confidential Information to any Third Party without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, except for disclosures expressly permitted below, and (c) not use such Confidential Information for any purpose except those permitted by this Agreement (it being understood that this Section 12.1 shall not create or imply any rights or licenses not expressly granted under this Agreement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to any trade secret within such Confidential Information shall survive such [***] period for so long as such Confidential Information remains protected as a trade secret under Applicable Law.
12.2 Exceptions. The obligations in Section 12.1 shall not apply with respect to any portion of the Confidential Information that the Receiving Party can show by competent evidence:
(a)
|
is publicly disclosed by the Disclosing Party, either before or after it is disclosed to the Receiving Party hereunder;
|
(b)
|
is known to the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates, without any obligation to keep it confidential or any restriction on its use, in each case, to the Disclosing Party, prior to disclosure to the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates by the Disclosing Party;
|
(c)

|
(d)
|
is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on the part of the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates in violation of this Agreement, generally known or available, either before or after it is disclosed to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party;
|
(e)
|
is independently discovered or developed by or on behalf of the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates without the use of or reference to the Confidential Information belonging to the Disclosing Party; or
|
(f)
|
is the subject of written permission to disclose provided by the Disclosing Party.

|
as reasonably required in generating Regulatory Materials and obtaining Regulatory Approvals;
|
(c)
|
prosecuting or defending litigation, including responding to a subpoena in a Third Party litigation;

|
(g)
|
to its Affiliates, sublicensees or prospective sublicensees, subcontractors or prospective subcontractors, consultants, agents and advisors on a "need-to-know" basis in order for the Receiving Party to exercise its rights or fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, each of whom prior to disclosure must be bound by obligations of confidentiality and restrictions on use of such Confidential Information that are no less restrictive than those set forth in this ARTICLE 12; provided, however, that, in each of the above situations, the Receiving Party shall remain responsible for any failure by any Person who receives Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 12.3(g) to treat such Confidential Information as required under this ARTICLE 12.
|
If and whenever any Confidential Information is disclosed in accordance with this Section 12.3, such disclosure shall not cause any such information to cease to be Confidential Information except to the extent that such disclosure results in a public disclosure of such information (other than by breach of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Party is required to make a disclosure of the other Party's Confidential Information pursuant to Section 12.3(a) through Section 12.3(e), it will, except where impracticable or not legally permitted, give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure and use not less than the same efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information as it would to protect its own confidential information from disclosure.
12.4 Terms of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement and all of the respective terms of this Agreement shall be treated as Confidential Information of both Parties, subject to the provisions of Sections 12.3(f), 12.3(g) and 12.6.

|
Each Party may, but is not obligated to, make a public announcement of the execution of this Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit F to this Agreement, which shall be issued at a time to be mutually agreed by the Parties, but no later than [***] after the Execution Date. Except as required to comply with Applicable Law or as set forth in subsection (b), each Party agrees not to issue any other press release or other public statement disclosing other information relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
|
The Parties acknowledge the importance of supporting each other's efforts to publicly disclose results and significant developments regarding the Products and other activities in connection with this Agreement that may include information that is not otherwise permitted to be disclosed under this ARTICLE 12, and that may be beyond what is required by Applicable Law, but in each case consistent with the need to keep investors informed regarding such Party's business in accordance with customary investor relations, and each Party may request to the right to make such disclosures from time to time. Such disclosures may include achievement of milestones, significant events in the Development and regulatory process, Commercialization activities and the like. Except for the initial press release(s) described in subsection (a), whenever a Party (the "Requesting Party") elects to make any such public disclosure, it shall first notify the other Party (the "Cooperating Party") of such planned press release or public announcement and provide a draft for review at least [***] in advance of issuing such press release or making such public announcement (or, with respect to press releases and public announcements that are required by Applicable Law, or by regulation or rule of any public stock exchange (including NASDAQ), with as much advance notice as possible under the circumstances if it is not possible to provide notice at least [***] in advance). The Requesting Party and Cooperating Party will discuss such proposed public disclosure in good faith. Unless otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 12.6 or required by Applicable Law, or by regulation or rule of any public stock exchange (including NASDAQ), the Requesting Party will not issue such press release or make such public announcement without the prior written consent of the Cooperating Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that a Party may issue such press release or make such public announcement if: (i) the contents of such press release or public announcement have previously been made public other than through a breach of this Agreement by the Requesting Party, (ii) such press release or public announcement does not materially differ from the previously issued press release or other publicly available information, (iii) such press release or public announcement does not contain the Cooperating Party's name and (iv) the Requesting Party notifies the Cooperating Party reasonably in advance of issuance. The principles to be observed in such disclosures shall include accuracy, compliance with applicable Law and regulatory guidance documents, reasonable sensitivity to potential negative reactions of the FDA (and its foreign counterparts), the need to protect competitively sensitive information regarding the Products and the need to keep investors informed regarding the Requesting Party's business.
12.6 Securities Filings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ARTICLE 12, in the event either Party proposes to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission or the securities regulators of any state or other jurisdiction a registration statement or any other disclosure document that describes or refers to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any related agreements between the Parties, or requires the filing of this Agreement as an exhibit to such registration, statement or disclosure document, such Party shall notify the other Party of such intention and shall provide the other Party with a copy of relevant portions of the proposed filing at least [***] prior to such filing (and any revisions to such portions of the proposed filing a reasonable time prior to the filing thereof), including any exhibits thereto that refer to the other Party or the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any related Agreements between the Parties. The Party making such filing shall cooperate in good faith with the other Party to obtain confidential treatment of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any related Agreements between the Parties that the other Party reasonably requests be kept confidential or otherwise afforded confidential treatment, and shall only disclose Confidential Information that it is advised by outside counsel is legally required to be disclosed. Each Party acknowledges that the other Party may be required by securities regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, or advised by such other Party's outside counsel that the financial terms, including the milestone amounts and/or royalty rates must be included in such filings. No notice shall be required under this Section 12.6 if the description of or reference to this Agreement or a related agreement between the Parties contained in the proposed filing has been included in any previous filing made by either Party in accordance with this Section 12.6 or otherwise approved by the other Party.
12.7 Relationship to Confidentiality Agreement. This Agreement supersedes the Prior CDA; provided, however, that all "Confidential Information" disclosed or received by the Parties and their Affiliates thereunder shall be deemed Confidential Information hereunder and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
12.8 Equitable Relief. Given the nature of the Confidential Information and the competitive damage that could result to a Party upon unauthorized disclosure, use or transfer of its Confidential Information to any Third Party, the Parties agree that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this ARTICLE 12. In addition to all other remedies, a Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief as a remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this ARTICLE 12.
Publications. Company shall have the right to publish results of all Clinical Trials conducted with respect to a Compound or a Product; provided, however, that MacroGenics shall have the right to review all proposed publications prior to submission of such publication, solely for the purposes of identifying any relevant intellectual property or Confidential Information of MacroGenics. Company shall provide MacroGenics with a copy of the applicable proposed abstract, manuscript, or presentation no less than [***] in the case of abstracts) prior to its intended submission for publication. MacroGenics shall respond in writing promptly and in no event later than [***] in the case of abstracts) after receipt of the proposed material with any concerns regarding patentability or protection of MacroGenics' Confidential Information. In the event of concern over patent protection, Company agrees not to submit such
publication or to make such presentation that contains such information until MacroGenics is given a reasonable period of time, and in no event less than thirty [***], to seek patent protection for any material in such publication or presentation which it believes is patentable, unless Company reasonably determines that publication of such information is required by Applicable Law. Subject to Section 12.3, any Confidential Information of MacroGenics shall, if requested by the reviewing Party, be removed by Company from such publication or presentation, except to the extent inclusion of such Confidential Information is required to comply with Xxxxxxx & Johnson's clinical trial publication policy.

|
the Breaching Party has notified the Terminating Party of its plan for curing such and has commenced and sustained its efforts to cure such material breach during the Cure Period).

The Parties shall cooperate with one another to the extent necessary in the preparation of any such HSR Filing. Each Party shall be responsible for its own costs, expenses, and filing fees associated with any HSR Filing; provided, however, that Company shall be solely responsible for any fees (other than penalties that may be incurred as a result of actions or omissions on the part of MacroGenics) required to be paid to any governmental agency in connection with making any such HSR Filing.

|
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, adjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or any other similar proceeding for the release of financially distressed debtors, or becomes a party to any proceeding or action of the type described above (each, an "Insolvency Event"), and such proceeding or action remains un-dismissed or un-stayed for a period of more than [***]
All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the licenses granted to Company pursuant to Section 3.1, are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the U.S. Code and other similar laws in any jurisdiction outside the U.S. (collectively, the "Bankruptcy Laws"), licenses of rights to "intellectual property" as defined under the Bankruptcy Laws. Upon the occurrence of any Insolvency Event with respect to a Party (the "Insolvent Party"), the Insolvent Party agrees that the other Party (the "Non-Insolvent Party"), as licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Laws. Further, each Party agrees and acknowledges that all payments hereunder, other than the milestone payments pursuant to Section 9.3, the royalty payments pursuant to Section 9.4, and the payments pursuant to Section 9.9, do not constitute royalties within the meaning of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code or relate to licenses of intellectual property hereunder. Each Party shall, during the term of this Agreement, 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 (MacroGenics Technology in the case of MacroGenics and Company Technology in the case of Company). Each Party agrees and acknowledges that "embodiments" of intellectual property within the meaning of Section 365(n) include, without limitation, laboratory notebooks, cell lines, product samples and inventory, research studies and data, Regulatory Approvals and Regulatory Materials in each case to the extent related to the Compounds and Products. If (i) a case is commenced during the Term by or against a Party under the Bankruptcy Laws, (ii) this Agreement is rejected as provided for under the Bankruptcy Laws, and (iii) the Non-Insolvent Party elects to retain its rights hereunder as provided for under the Bankruptcy Laws, then the Insolvent Party (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a Title 11 trustee), shall (x) provide to the Non-Insolvent Party immediately upon the Non-Insolvent Party's written request copies of all such intellectual property (including embodiments thereof) held by the Insolvent Party and such successors and assigns, or otherwise available to them, and (y) not interfere with the Non-Insolvent Party's rights under this Agreement, or any related agreements between the Parties, to such intellectual property (including such embodiments), including any right to obtain such intellectual property (or such embodiments) from another entity, to the extent provided in the Bankruptcy Laws. Whenever the Insolvent Party or any of its successors or assigns provides to the Non-Insolvent Party any of the intellectual property licensed hereunder (or any embodiment thereof) pursuant to this Section 13.7(b), the Non-Insolvent Party shall have the right to perform the Insolvent Party's obligations hereunder with respect to such intellectual property, but neither such provision nor such performance by the Non-Insolvent Party shall release the Insolvent Party from liability resulting from rejection of the license or the failure to perform such obligations. All rights, powers and remedies of the Non-Insolvent Party as provided 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 the Bankruptcy Laws) in the event of the commencement of a case by or against a Party under the Bankruptcy Laws. In particular, it is the intention and understanding of the Parties to this Agreement that the rights granted to the Parties under this Section 13.7 are essential to the Parties' respective businesses and the Parties acknowledge that damages are not an adequate remedy. The Parties agree that they intend the following rights to extend to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, and to be enforceable under Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the U.S. Code: (A) the right of access to any intellectual property (including embodiments thereof) of the Insolvent Party, or any Third Party with whom the Insolvent Party contracts to perform an obligation of the Insolvent Party under this Agreement, and, in the case of the Third Party, which is necessary for the Exploitation of Compounds or Products; and (B) the right to contract directly with any Third Party to complete the contracted work upon failure of the Insolvent Party to comply with its applicable obligations.
13.8 Effects of Termination. All of the following effects of termination are in addition to the other rights and remedies that may be available to either of the Parties under this Agreement and shall not be construed to limit any such rights or remedies. In the event this Agreement is not terminated in its entirety, but rather is terminated on a Product-by-Product or country-by-country basis with respect to one or more Products as specified herein (each, a "Terminated Product") in one or more country(ies) (each, a "Terminated Country"), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 13.8(a) or 13.8(b), the consequences of termination described under this Section 13.8 shall only apply to the Terminated Product in the Terminated Country, and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms with respect to all Products other than the Terminated Products, and in all countries of the Territory other than the Terminated Countries.

Notice.

Defense. Upon receipt of notice under this Section 15.3 from the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party will have the duty to either compromise or defend, at its own expense and by counsel (reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee) such Claim.

Once the Indemnifying Party gives such notice to the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party is not liable to the Indemnitee for the fees of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such defense, other than the Indemnitee's reasonable Third Party expenses related to its investigation and cooperation.

|
(c)
|
Cooperation. The Indemnitee will cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any Claim.

|
(d)
|
Settlement. If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Claim, no compromise or settlement of such Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnitee's written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), unless: (1) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnitee; (2) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; and (3) the Indemnitee's rights under this Agreement are not adversely affected.

|
(e)

Upon request, each Party shall provide the other Party with a certificate of insurance evidencing the coverage required under this Section 15.4.
