WHEREAS, AnalytiCon has transferred the License Agreement to BRAIN Biotech by way of a merger between AnalytiCon and BRAIN Biotech, effective as of June 6, 2024;
WHEREAS, BRAIN Biotech has proposed to sell, transfer and assign its right, title and interest in the payments BRAIN Biotech receives from Pharvaris pursuant to Section 5.3 of the License Agreement (subject to, as the case may be, reductions pursuant to Sections 5.5, 5.6, 6.4.4, 10.3.3, and 12.2.4 of, or otherwise pursuant to and in accordance with, the License Agreement) to Royalty Pharma Investments 2019 ICAV, an Irish collective asset-management vehicle (“Royalty Pharma”) on terms and conditions customary for such a monetization transaction, including the grant for the benefit of Royalty Pharma of a security interest in the License Agreement (the “RP Monetization”); and
WHEREAS, at the occasion of, but independently from, the RP Monetization, the Parties desire to amend the License Agreement to clarify certain terms related to the duration of the Pharvaris payment obligations under the License Agreement, as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby amend the License Agreement and agree as follows:
“1.27A “Royalty-Bearing Product(s)” shall mean any Licensed Product containing a compound within the scope of the Markush general formula (I) of claim 1 of US Patent No. 10,836,748. Each of deucrictibant (PHVS121), PHVS416 and PHVS719 is a Royalty-Bearing Product.”
1
“1.28 “Sublicensee” shall mean such a Third Party which receives a commercial sublicense from Pharvaris under the Exclusive License to develop, market and sell Licensed Products(s) on its own account (and, if applicable, which is obligated to make payments to Pharvaris on the basis of royalty payments on Net Sales of Royalty-Bearing Product(s)).”
“4.2 Sublicensing
The Exclusive License includes the right of Pharvaris to grant sublicenses within the scope of the Exclusive License to its Affiliates or Third Parties to develop, market and sell Licensed Product(s) on its own account (if applicable, on the basis of royalty payments by Pharvaris to AnalytiCon on Net Sales of Royalty-Bearing Product(s) by such Sublicensees as further defined in this Agreement).”
“The Term of royalty payments with respect to each Royalty-Bearing Product shall be the Term with respect to such Royalty-Bearing Product.”
“(a) with respect to each Royalty-Bearing Product, the Expiration of the last Valid Claim of a Royalty-Bearing Patent that claims such Royalty-Bearing Product, on a Royalty-Bearing Product-by-Royalty-Bearing Product basis, and (b) with respect to each Licensed Product that is not a Royalty-Bearing Product, the Expiration of the last Valid Claim of a Non-Royalty-Bearing Patent that claims such Licensed Product, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis (the “Term”).”
“ “Valid Claim” means a claim of a Patent, including as such claim may be extended, whether through a patent term extension, supplementary protection certificate or otherwise, that has not expired, lapsed, been cancelled, abandoned or waived, or been dedicated to the public, disclaimed, rejected or held unenforceable, invalid, revoked or cancelled by a court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction in an order or decision from which no appeal has been or can be taken, including through opposition, re-examination, reissue, disclaimer, inter partes review, inter partes review post grant procedures or similar
2
proceedings, and that has not otherwise become, or turned out to be, ineffective in whatever form and on whatever legal grounds. “Expiration” means any of the cases of ineffectiveness addressed in the preceding sentence.
“Royalty-Bearing Patent” means (a) US Patent No. 10,836,748 and (b) any patent or patent application (including any international patent or patent application) that shares a common priority with US Patent No. 10,836,748. The Patents listed on Schedule A are the Royalty-Bearing Patents that exist as of the date of this Amendment 2.
“Non-Royalty-Bearing Patent” means any Patent owned or controlled by Pharvaris that claims a Licensed Product that is not a Royalty-Bearing Product.”
