4.3.2 Review. Subject to the other terms of this Section 4.3.2, at the request of ARIAD, which shall not be made more frequently than […***…] during the Term, upon at least […***…] prior written notice from ARIAD, and at the expense of ARIAD (except as otherwise provided herein), Bellicum shall permit an independent certified public accountant reasonably selected by ARIAD and reasonably acceptable to Bellicum to inspect (during regular business hours) the relevant records required to be maintained by Bellicum under this Section 4.3 (provided no records may be reviewed more than once under this Section 4.3.2).

5. TREATMENT OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

5.1 Confidential Obligations. The Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement between the Parties dated October 16, 2004 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) shall apply to information provided under this Agreement. Each Party shall take such action, and shall cause its Affiliates or Sublicensees to take such action, to preserve the confidentiality of each other’s Confidential Information as it would customarily take to preserve the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information, using, in all such circumstances, not less than reasonable care to prevent the Confidential Information of the other Party from being copied, used or disclosed to any Third Party without the other Party’s prior written consent except for those Third Parties to whom disclosure of the Confidential Information is permitted pursuant to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. To the extent of any conflict between the provisions of this Article 5 and the Confidentiality Agreement, the provisions of this Article 5 shall control and pertain to all information provided under this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement, retroactive to October 16, 2004.

5.2 Limited Disclosure and Use. ARIAD and Bellicum each agree that any disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information to any officer, employee, consultant or agent of the other Party or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees shall be made only if and to the extent necessary to carry out its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement, shall be limited to the maximum extent possible consistent with such rights and responsibilities and shall only be made to the extent any such persons are bound by written confidentiality obligations to maintain the confidentiality thereof and not to use such Confidential Information except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. ARIAD and Bellicum each further agree not to disclose or transfer the other Party’s Confidential Information to any Third Parties under any circumstance without the prior written approval from the other Party (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), except as otherwise required by law, and except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement. Each Party may disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party to any investors, prospective investors, lenders and other potential financing sources and Third Parties conducting due diligence in connection with any financing or acquisition transaction who are obligated to keep such information confidential. Each Party, upon the request of the other Party, will return all the Confidential Information disclosed or transferred to it by the other Party pursuant to this Agreement, including all copies and extracts of documents and all manifestations in whatever form, within […***…] of such request or, if earlier, the termination or expiration of this Agreement; provided however, that a Party may retain (a) any Confidential Information of the other Party relating to any license which expressly survives such termination and (b) one (1) copy of all other Confidential Information in inactive archives solely for the purpose of establishing the contents thereof.

5.3 Publicity. Neither Party may publicly disclose the existence or terms or any other matter of fact regarding this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that (a) either party may issue a press release upon execution hereof, (b) either Party may make such a disclosure (i) to the extent required by law or by the requirements of any nationally recognized securities exchange, quotation system or over-the-counter market on which such Party has its securities

listed or traded, and (ii) to any investors, prospective investors, lenders and other potential financing sources who are obligated to keep such information confidential, provided that in the event that such disclosure is required under clause (b)(i) of this Section 5.3, the disclosing Party shall provide the other Party with notice beforehand and, to the extent reasonably practical, coordinate with the other Party with respect to the wording and timing of any such disclosure, and (c) ARIAD may disclose the filing by Bellicum or a Sublicensee with the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority of any IND, NDA, BLA or equivalent application or the commencement by Bellicum or a Sublicensee of any clinical trial, provided that ARIAD may only disclose such filing or commencement by a Sublicensee (x) if (i) Bellicum or the Sublicensee makes prior public disclosure of such filing or commencement and (ii) ARIAD provides Bellicum with notice beforehand and, to the extent reasonably practical, coordinates with Bellicum with respect to the wording and timing of any such disclosure or (y) if the Sublicensee consents. If Bellicum or the Sublicensee does not intend to make prior public disclosure of such filing or commencement, Bellicum will so notify ARAIAD with the notice thereof pursuant to Section 3.2.1 and will use good faith efforts to obtain the consent of the Sublicensee for ARIAD to make such disclosure. Once any press release or any other written statement is approved for disclosure by both Parties, either Party may make subsequent public disclosure of the contents of such statement without the further approval of the other Party.

5.4 Use of Name. Neither Party shall employ or use the name of the other Party or the name of […***…], […***…], […***…] or […***…] in any promotional materials or advertising without the prior express written permission of the other party.

5.5 […***…]. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, ARIAD may disclose the terms of this Agreement and Bellicum’s Confidential Information (including the terms of any Bellicum sublicense) to […***…] as reasonable and necessary required to fulfill its obligations under the […***…] Agreement.

6. PROVISIONS CONCERNING THE FILING, PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE OF PATENT RIGHTS

6.1 Patent Filing, Prosecution, Maintenance and Enforcement. ARIAD shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to prepare, file, prosecute, obtain and maintain, and a first right to enforce, any Licensed Patent Rights (excluding all Patent Rights licensed to Bellicum by […***…] that cover any of the […***…]-ARIAD MTA Technologies). In the event that ARIAD elects not to enforce any of the Licensed Patent Rights, if the alleged infringement is in the Licensed Field with a product that comprises a cell transfected with both (but not limited to) a gene for an Antigen and one or more genes for Inducible Costimulatory Molecule(s) where the gene or genes for the Inducible Costimulatory Molecule(s) are activated using an ARIAD Dimerizer or a Non-ARIAD Dimerizer, Bellicum may do so at its sole expense; provided that, if the Licensed Patent Right alleged to be infringed is a patent other than a Licensed Patent Right covering any of the […***…]-ARIAD MTA Technologies, Bellicum may do so only with the advance written consent of ARIAD, which may be granted or withheld in ARIAD’s sole discretion. Bellicum may recover, collect and keep any damages collected as a result of such enforcement by Bellicum. Bellicum shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to prepare, file, prosecute, obtain, maintain and enforce any Bellicum Patent Rights, and as between Bellicum and ARIAD, Bellicum shall have the sole right to prepare, file, prosecute, obtain and maintain any Patent Rights licensed to Bellicum by […***…] that cover any of the […***…]-ARIAD MTA Technologies in accordance with the terms and conditions agreed upon between Bellicum and […***…]. Subject to any rights granted, at any time, by Bellicum to its Affiliates and/or Sublicensees, in the event that Bellicum elects not to enforce any of the Bellicum Patent Rights, ARIAD may do so only at its own expense and only with the advance written consent of Bellicum, which may be granted or withheld in Bellicum’s sole discretion. ARIAD may recover, collect and keep any damages collected as a result of such enforcement by ARIAD.

To the extent Bellicum assumes enforcement of Licensed Patent Rights or ARIAD assumes enforcement of Bellicum Patent Rights under this Section 6, and later elects not to enforce such rights, such Party will notify the other Party in writing promptly upon such election not to so enforce, and in any event, at least […***…] prior to the deadline to submit any filing related thereto.

10. DISPUTES

10.1 Negotiation. The Parties recognize that a bona fide dispute as to certain matters may from time to time arise during the Term that relates to either Party’s rights and/or obligations hereunder. In the event of the occurrence of such a dispute, either Party may, by written notice to the other Party, have such dispute referred to their respective senior officials designated below or their successors, for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations within […***…] after such notice is received. Said designated senior officials are as follows:

Whenever a Party shall decide to institute arbitration proceedings, it shall give written notice to that effect to the other Party. Any such arbitration shall be conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association by a panel of three arbitrators appointed in accordance with such rules. Any such arbitration shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts. The method and manner of discovery in any such arbitration proceeding shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. The arbitrators shall have the authority to grant injunctions and/or specific performance and to allocate between the parties the costs of arbitration in such equitable manner as they determine. Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. In no event shall a demand for arbitration be made after the date when institution of a legal or equitable proceeding based upon such claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party shall have the right, without waiving any right or remedy available to such Party under this Agreement or otherwise, to seek and obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief that is necessary or desirable to protect the rights or property of such Party, pending the selection of the arbitrators hereunder or pending the arbitrators’ determination of any dispute, controversy or claim hereunder.

11.12 Severability. If any provision(s) of this Agreement are or become invalid, are ruled illegal by any court of competent jurisdiction or are deemed unenforceable under then current applicable law from time to time in effect during the Term hereof, it is the intention of the Parties that the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby provided that a Party’s rights under this Agreement are not materially affected. The Parties hereto covenant and agree to renegotiate any such term, covenant or application thereof in good faith in order to provide a reasonably acceptable alternative to the term, covenant or condition of this Agreement or the application thereof that is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it being the intent of the Parties that the basic purposes of this Agreement are to be effectuated.

11.13 Status. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be deemed to constitute a partner, agency, employer-employee, or joint venture relationship between the Parties.

11.14 Section 365(n). All licenses granted under this Agreement are deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, licenses of right to “intellectual property” as defined in Section 101 of such Code. The Parties agree that Bellicum may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, regardless of whether either Party files for bankruptcy in the United States or other jurisdiction. The Parties further agree that, in the event Bellicum elects to retain its rights as a licensee under such Code, Bellicum shall be entitled to complete access to any technology licensed to it hereunder and all embodiments of such technology. Such embodiments of the technology shall be delivered to the Bellicum not later than:

(a) the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings against the licensor, upon written request, unless the licensor elects to perform its obligations under the Agreement, or

(b) if not delivered under Section 11.14(a) above, upon the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of Bellicum, upon written request.

11.15 Export Compliance. Each Party, and its Affiliates and sublicensees shall comply with all United States laws and regulations controlling the export of certain commodities and technical data, including without limitation all Export Administration Regulations of the United States Department of Commerce. Among other things, these laws and regulations prohibit or require a license for the export of certain types of commodities and technical data to specified countries. Bellicum hereby gives written assurance that it will comply with, and will cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to comply with, all United States export control laws and regulations, that it bears sole responsibility for any violation of such laws and regulations by itself or its Affiliates or Sublicensees, and that it will indemnify, defend, and hold ARIAD harmless (in accordance with Section 8) for the consequences of any such violation.

11.16 Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instructions, 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.

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