Street Journal for September 30th, where “close price” refers to the United
States dollar/foreign currency exchange rates as published by the Wall Street
Journal for September 30th (or the next business day if rates for September 30th

(a)               Zomedica shall be responsible for collection and remittance of
taxes on the sale of Collaboration Products by Zomedica to its customers.
Zomedica will make all payments to Celsee under this Agreement without deduction
or withholding for Taxes except to the extent that any such deduction or
withholding is required by Law in effect at the time of payment. The Parties
agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any withholding or

this Agreement.

 

(b)               Any Tax required to be withheld on amounts payable under this
Agreement will promptly be paid by Zomedica on behalf of Celsee to the
appropriate governmental authority, and Zomedica will furnish Celsee with proof

of and borne by Celsee.

 

(c)               If Zomedica had a duty to withhold Taxes in connection with
any payment it made to Celsee under this Agreement and Zomedica paid such Taxes

including any other relevant documentation. Zomedica may offset the Assessed
Amount against the immediately following payments owing to Celsee until such
Assessed Amount has been fully satisfied.

 

(i)                 Zomedica and Celsee will cooperate with respect to all
documentation required by any taxing authority or reasonably requested by

Intellectual Property.

 

(b)               All Intellectual Property independently or jointly developed
by Celsee or Zomedica that is derived from or was developed using the Celsee

shall be subject to and included in the License granted Zomedica hereunder.

 

(c)               All Intellectual Property independently developed by Zomedica
on or after the Effective Date, and which is not based on or derived from the
Celsee Core Technology and not encompassed in Section 8.2(b) will be the
exclusive property and owned by Zomedica.

 

(d)               Except as set form in (b) and (c) above, any Intellectual
property developed independently by either Party subsequent to the Effective
Date shall be owned by the Party that created such Intellectual Property.

 

(e)             Any other Intellectual property jointly developed or invented
will be jointly owned by Celsee and Zomedica (“Joint Intellectual Property”).
Zomedica shall have fully paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide exclusive rights use
any of such Joint Intellectual Property in the Zomedica Field, and Celsee shall
have fully paid-up, royalty-free worldwide exclusive rights to use any of such
Joint Intellectual Property in the Celsee Field.

8.5              Infringement of Third-Party Patent Rights. The Parties shall
use reasonable efforts to avoid infringing or misappropriating any Third Party’s
Intellectual Property Rights in conducting any activities under this Agreement.
Each Party shall promptly notify the other in the event it becomes aware of any
patent rights controlled by a Third Party that may pertain to any such
activities of the Parties.

 

8.6              Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights.

 

(a)               Notification. If a Party becomes aware of any infringement,
threatened infringement, or alleged infringement of either Party’s Intellectual
Property on account of a Third Party’s manufacture, use or sale of a product in
the Zomedica Field in the Territory (in each case, a “Product Infringement”),
then such Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of such Product
Infringement, including any evidence in such Party’s possession demonstrating
such Product Infringement.

 

(b)               Enforcement. During the Term and subject to the remainder of
this Section 8.6(b), Zomedica shall have the first right to initiate, prosecute
and control legal proceedings against any person or entity engaged in a Product
Infringement, at Zomedica’s expense. If Zomedica decides not to bring such legal
action, or if Zomedica fails to initiate such legal action, Celsee shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to commence a suit or take action to enforce
the applicable Intellectual Property rights with respect to such Product
Infringement in the Territory, at its own expense.

 

(c)               Cooperation. Each Party shall provide to the Party enforcing
any rights under Section 8.6(b) reasonable assistance in such enforcement,
including joining such action as a party plaintiff if required by Applicable Law
to pursue such action. The enforcing Party shall keep the other Party reasonably
and regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts,
and shall reasonably consider the other Party’s comments on any such efforts.
The non-enforcing Party shall have the right to be represented in any action
brought under Section 8.6(b) by counsel of its choice and at its own expense.
For clarity, as between the Parties, Celsee shall have the exclusive right to
bring and control any legal action in connection with any actual, alleged, or
threatened infringement of its Intellectual Property Rights that is not a
Product Infringement and is outside the Zomedica Field at its own expense as it
reasonably determines appropriate.

 

(d)               Settlement. Without the prior written consent of the other
Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed,
neither Party shall settle any claim, suit or action brought under Section 8.6
involving the Intellectual Property rights of a Party in any manner that
(i) admits the invalidity of, or otherwise impairs the other Party’s
Intellectual Property or (ii) limits, or would reasonably be expected to limit,
the ability of the other Party or its licensees to sell or manufacture
Collaboration Products in the Zomedica Field in the Territory or other products
outside the Zomedica Field.

 

(e)               Recoveries. Any recoveries resulting from an action brought by
a Party under Section 8.6(b) relating to a claim of Product Infringement of an
Intellectual Property right hereunder shall be first applied against payment of
each Party’s costs and expenses in connection therewith. Any such recoveries in
excess of such costs and expenses (the “Remainder”) will be retained by the
enforcing Party.

 

18

Confidential

 

 

(f)                Joint Intellectual Property. If a Third Party infringes any
Joint Intellectual Property, the Parties shall discuss such infringement and the
Parties shall each have the right, but neither Party shall be obligated, to
bring an appropriate suit or other action under such Joint Intellectual Property
against any Person engaged in such infringement. If both Parties agree to so
enforce such Joint Intellectual Property, they shall be jointly responsible for,
and share equally, all the costs and expenses of any suit brought by them and
shall equally share all recoveries with respect thereto. If one Party elects not
to enforce such Joint Intellectual Property against such infringement, then the
other Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take action to
enforce such Joint Intellectual Property against such infringement at its own
cost and expense and such other Party may retain all recoveries with respect
thereto.

 

8.7              Cooperation. Each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the
other Party in the Prosecution and Maintenance of the Intellectual Property,
including Patent Rights, pursuant to this Agreement. Such cooperation includes
promptly executing all documents, or requiring inventors, subcontractors,
employees, former employees (to the extent reasonably available) and consultants
and agents to execute all documents, as reasonable and appropriate, so as to
enable the Prosecution and Maintenance or enforcement of any such Patent Rights
in any country.

a result of disclosing information pursuant to this Agreement, or any of its

including product liability insurance, with respect to its activities hereunder
and which are consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies
similarly situated at all times during which any Collaboration Product is being

represents and warrants to the other Party that it has such insurance in effect
as of the Effective Date and if requested by the other Party will provide the
other Party a copy of the certificate of insurance evidencing such insurance on

with written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the cancellation,
non-renewal or material change in such insurance or self-insurance which
materially adversely affects the rights of the other Party hereunder.

warranty, obligation or covenant set out in this Agreement;

 

(d)               Celsee’s failure to supply Collaboration Product in accordance
with forecasted volumes agreed to by the parties;

 

(e)               Celsee’s obligation to Indemnify the Zomedica Indemnitees
pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall not apply to the extent that any such Losses
(i) arise from the acts or omissions of any Zomedica Indemnitee; (ii) arise from
any material breach by Zomedica of this Agreement; or (iii) arising out of
Zomedica’s activities under the Development Plan.

 

12.2          Indemnification by Zomedica. Zomedica hereby agrees to Indemnify
Celsee and its Affiliates, and its and their directors, officers, employees,
contractors and agents (the “Celsee Indemnitees”) from and against any and all
Losses resulting from Third Party Claims, including, for each of clauses (a),
(b) and (c), below, bodily injury, risk of bodily injury, death, property
damage, and product liability Third Party Claims or the failure to comply with
Law arising out of or relating to, directly or indirectly:

 

(a)               Zomedica’s, its Affiliates’, sublicensees’, wholesalers’,

12.3          Claim for Indemnification. Whenever any Claim or Loss arises for
which a Zomedica Indemnitee or a Celsee Indemnitee (the “Indemnified Party”) may
seek indemnification under this Article 12 (Indemnification), the Indemnified
Party will promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the
Claim or Loss and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for the Claim or
Loss; provided, however, that the failure by an Indemnified Party to give such
notice or to otherwise meet its obligations under this Section 12.3 (Claim for
Indemnification) does not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification
obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. The
Indemnifying Party has exclusive control of the defense and settlement of all
Claims for which it is responsible for indemnification and shall assume the
defense thereof at its own

expense promptly upon notice of such Claim or Loss. The Indemnified Party shall
not settle or compromise any Claim by a Third Party for which it is entitled to
indemnification without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party,
unless the Indemnifying Party is in breach of its obligation to defend
hereunder. In no event can the Indemnifying Party settle any Claim without the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement does not
include a complete release from liability on such Claim or if such settlement
would involve undertaking an obligation other than the payment of money, would
bind or impair the Indemnified Party, or includes any admission of wrongdoing or
that any intellectual property or proprietary right of the Indemnified Party is
invalid or unenforceable. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with
the Indemnifying Party at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and shall make
available to the Indemnifying Party reasonably requested information under the
control of the Indemnified Party, which information is subject to Article 9
(Confidentiality). The Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to
participate in (but not to control) the Third Party Claim through counsel of its
choosing (to the extent it has the ability to do so). Notwithstanding any other
provision of this subsection, if an Indemnified Party withholds consent to a
bona fide settlement offer, where but for such action, the Indemnifying Party
could have settled such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be required to
indemnify the Indemnified Party only up to a maximum of the bona fide settlement
offer for which the Indemnifying Party could have settled such Claim.

 

12.4          Limitation of Indemnification. Celsee’s liability for
indemnification pursuant to Section 12.1, and Zomedica’s liability for
indemnification pursuant to Section 12.2 herein, shall be limited in total and
in the aggregate to an amount equal to [*].

 

13.Term and Termination

 

13.1          Term. This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and,
unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof shall extend for
five (5) years (the “Initial Term”) and automatically renewal for additional
two-year terms (such time period collectively referred to as the “Term”) unless
(i) either Party within two years prior to the expiration of the then current
term provides written notice of its intent not to renew or (ii) the Agreement is
terminated pursuant to Sections 13.2 or 13.3 below.

Agreement in its entirety upon providing written notice to the other Party on or
after the time that such other Party makes a general assignment for the benefit
of creditors, files an insolvency petition in bankruptcy or makes a voluntary
assignment in bankruptcy, petitions, applies for or acquiesces to the
appointment of any receiver, receiver and manager, interim receiver, trustee or
similar officer or official to liquidate or conserve its business or any
substantial part of its assets, commences under the laws of any jurisdiction any
proceeding involving its insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, adjustment of
debt, dissolution, liquidation or any other similar proceeding for the release
of or other relief for financially distressed debtors, or becomes a party to any
proceeding or action of the type described above and not dismissed within ninety
(90) days of filing or released within ninety (90) days of the event(each, an
“Insolvency Event”).

 

(b)               Bankruptcy Laws.

 

(i)             All rights and licenses granted to Zomedica under or pursuant to
this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the licenses granted to
Zomedica pursuant to this Agreement, are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be,
for purposes of Section 32(6) of the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act
(Canada) (“CCAA”), Section 65.11(7) of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act
(Canada) (“BIA”) or for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code,
if applicable, and other similar laws in any jurisdiction outside of Canada
(collectively, the “Bankruptcy Laws”), licenses of rights to “intellectual
property” as contemplated under the Bankruptcy Laws including, licenses of right
to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code.

 

(ii)              Upon the occurrence of any Insolvency Event with respect to
Celsee (the “Insolvent Party”), Celsee agrees that Zomedica, as licensee of such
rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its
rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Laws.

 

(iii)            Further, it is the intention of the Parties that if either
party becomes insolvent, the other party shall have an exclusive option,
exercisable upon written notice to the other party, to negotiate a paid-up
license to any intellectual property necessary to independently continue
commercialization of the Collaboration Product(s), including the Celsee CTC
Platform Technology and Celsee Immunochemistry Consumable Package(s) in the
Zomedica Field.

 

(iv)          Further, each Party agrees and acknowledges that all payments
hereunder, other than the milestone payments pursuant to Section 7.1 do not
constitute “obligations owing under the agreement in relation to the use of the
intellectual property” as contemplated by Section 32(6) of the CCAA or Section
65.11(7) of the BIA or 365 (n)(2)(B) of the US Bankruptcy Code or relate to
licenses of intellectual property hereunder.

(v)               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.

 

(vi)             Each Party agrees and acknowledges that “intellectual property”
as contemplated by the Bankruptcy Laws include 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 Collaboration
Products.

 

(vii)          It is the intention of the parties that if:

 

(A)             a case or proceeding is commenced during the Term by or against
Celsee under the Bankruptcy Laws;

 

(B)              this Agreement is disclaimed as provided for under the
Bankruptcy Laws; and

 

(C)              Zomedica elects to retain its rights hereunder as provided for
under the Bankruptcy Laws or otherwise,

 

then Celsee (in any capacity) and its successors and assigns (including a
receiver, interim receiver or trustee in bankruptcy and any assignee thereof of
any right or power of attorney that Celsee may have or may exercise under, or in
connection with, this Agreement), shall (i) provide to Zomedica immediately upon
Zomedica’s written request copies of all such intellectual property (including
embodiments thereof) held by Celsee and such successors and assigns, or
otherwise available to them, and (ii) not interfere with Zomedica’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.

 

(viii)         Whenever Celsee or any of its successors or assigns provides to
Zomedica any of the intellectual property licensed hereunder (or any embodiment
thereof) pursuant to this Section 13.3, Zomedica shall have the right to perform
Celsee’s obligations hereunder with respect to such intellectual property, but
neither such provision nor such performance by Zomedica shall release Celsee
from liability resulting from disclaimer of the license or the failure to
perform such obligations.

 

(ix)             All rights, powers and remedies of Zomedica 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 or proceeding by or
against Celsee under the Bankruptcy Laws.

 

(x)               In particular, it is the intention and understanding of the
Parties that the rights granted to Zomedica under this Section 13.3 are
essential to the Parties’ respective businesses and the Parties acknowledge that
damages are not an adequate remedy.

(xi)             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 32(6) of the CCAA and Section 65.11(7) of the BIA and the relevant
provisions of the US Bankruptcy Code:

 

(A)             the right of access to any intellectual property (including
embodiments thereof) of Celsee, or any Third Party with whom Celsee contracts to
perform an obligation of Celsee under this Agreement, and, in the case of the
Third Party, which is necessary for the exploitation of Collaboration Products;

 

(B)              the right to contract directly with any Third Party to complete
the contracted work upon failure of Celsee to comply with its applicable
obligations; and

 

(C)              in favor of Zomedica, the right to the benefit of the exercise
of any power of attorney held by Celsee to grant to Zomedica the rights and
licenses provided in this Agreement.

 

(xii)          Further, it is the intention of the Parties that this Agreement,
even if not disclaimed, be binding on any party that purchases the intellectual
property licensed to Zomedica, or any power of attorney that permits such
license to Zomedica, pursuant to any Bankruptcy Laws, notwithstanding any
approval and vesting order that may be issued in respect of such intellectual
property or power and that Zomedica receive reasonable prior notice of any
motion brought pursuant to any Bankruptcy Laws to approve such sale. For greater
certainty, nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver of any right that
Zomedica may have to object to such sale, including on the basis that such sale
of intellectual property or power is contrary to the terms of this Agreement.

 

13.4          Effect of Termination or Expiration.

 

(a)               Prior to Clinical Validation. Prior to Clinical Validation,
upon the effective date of termination or expiration of the Term, except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, all rights and obligations of each Party

(c)               Upon termination of this Agreement, the parties shall pay each
other the entire amount of any financial commitments incurred by a Party prior
to termination even if those financial commitments come due after termination in
accordance with the Development Plan Budget that exceed amounts paid by the
owing party to the other party hereunder prior to such termination and cannot be

Upon receipt of notice of termination, to the extent possible, the parties shall

shall refund such overpayment to the other Party within [*] of the final
accounting.

 

(d)               Accrued Rights. Expiration or termination of this Agreement
(or any provision hereof) for any reason is without prejudice to any right that
shall have accrued to the benefit of a Party prior to such expiration or
termination, including damages arising from any breach under this Agreement.
Expiration or termination of this Agreement does not relieve a Party from any
obligation that is expressly indicated to survive such expiration or
termination.
