 SECTION 13.2 Corrective Proceedings 
 (a) Notwithstanding patent proceedings initiated by Third Parties, for which section 8.5 shall apply as the sole remedy, if, in the opinion of
SciClone’s patent counsel, prior art raises a substantial new question of patentability related to any of the patents from which the RESprotect Patent Rights are derived, SciClone shall provide notice thereof (“Corrective Proceeding
Notice”) to RESprotect. Within 10 days of receipt of the Corrective Proceeding Notice, RESprotect shall refer the matter to its patent counsel, who shall then confer with SciClone’s patent counsel. If RESprotect’s patent counsel
agrees with SciClone’s patent counsel that a substantial new issue of patentability has been raised by prior art, RESprotect’s patent counsel shall promptly provide notice thereof to RESprotect (“RESprotect Patent Counsel
Notice”). If RESprotect’s patent counsel does not agree with SciClone’s patent counsel, RESprotect shall promptly give notice thereof to SciClone and the question shall be submitted to an independent patent counsels with at least 20
years experience in the industry mutually selected by SciClone and RESprotect, or if they are unable or fail to select the independent patent counsel, by the American Arbitration Association. If the independent patent counsel, after considering the
positions of each of the respective patent counsel of SciClone and RESprotect, agrees with SciClone’s patent counsel, independent counsel shall promptly send notice thereof (“Independent Patent Counsel Notice”) to RESprotect with a
copy to SciClone. Within 90 days after receipt of the RESprotect Patent Counsel Notice or the Independent Patent Counsel Notice, as the case may be, RESprotect shall file the appropriate documentation with the USPTO to seek a reexamination or, if
deemed more appropriate by RESprotect, re-issue of the patent(s) cited in the Corrective Proceeding Notice. If independent patent counsel agrees with RESprotect’s patent counsel, independent counsel shall promptly send notice thereof to
SciClone, with a copy to RESprotect, and RESprotect shall not be required to take any further action with respect to the matter referred to in the subject Corrective Proceeding Notice. The costs of the independent patent counsel shall be borne by
RESprotect if such counsel agrees with SciClone’s patent counsel and by SciClone if such counsel agrees with RESprotect’s patent counsel. RESprotect shall have the right to control the prosecution of the corrective proceedings, including
but not limited to selecting the attorney or agent to prosecute the corrective proceedings at the USPTO. SciClone shall have the right to review and comment on all documents prior to the filing of such documents at the USPTO, which comments shall be
considered in good faith by RESprotect. RESprotect and SciClone shall share equally all costs incurred in connection with the filing and prosecution of any corrective proceeding, provided that if the prior art arises from any Patent Rights of
Newbiotics, RESprotect shall bear all costs of the corrective proceedings alone. 
 (b) RESprotect and SciClone agree to cooperate in every
way possible in obtaining evidence and going forward with such corrective proceedings. 
 (c) Each party shall promptly inform the other as
to all matters that come to its attention that may affect the corrective proceedings of the subject patent and permit each other to provide comments and suggestions with respect to the corrective proceedings, which comments and suggestions shall be
considered in good faith by the other party.

 Each party may, at any time, substitute for its previous record address any other address by
giving prior written notice of the substitution. 
 SECTION 14.3 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed, interpreted and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its choice of law provisions thereof; provided, however, that the scope, validity and enforceability of patents shall be determined in accordance with the applicable laws of the
countries in which such patents have been issued. 
 SECTION 14.4 Waiver. The failure of either party to insist upon the strict performance of
any provisions hereof or to exercise any right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver of any right or remedy with respect to any existing or subsequent breach or default; the election by either party of any particular right or remedy shall not be
deemed to exclude any other; and all rights and remedies shall be cumulative. 
 SECTION 14.5 Severability. Each party hereby agrees that it
does not intend to violate any public policy, statutory or common laws, rules, regulations, treaty or decision of any government agency or executive body thereof of any country or community or association of countries. Should one or more provisions
of this Agreement be or become invalid, the parties hereto shall substitute, by mutual consent, valid provisions for such invalid provisions which valid provisions in their economic effect are sufficiently similar to the invalid provisions that it
can be reasonably assumed that the parties would have entered into this Agreement with such valid provisions. In case such valid provisions cannot be agreed upon, the invalidity of one or several provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the
validity of this Agreement as a whole, unless the invalid provisions are of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that the parties would not have entered into this Agreement without the invalid provisions.

 SECTION 14.6 Dispute Resolution 
 (a) Good Faith Attempt to Resolve. The parties hereby agree that they will attempt in good faith to resolve any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement promptly by negotiations. 
 (b) Arbitration. If the parties are unable to resolve the matter through negotiations, the parties shall submit the dispute to arbitration. The
arbitration shall be held in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “Arbitration Rules”), as the Arbitration Rules then exist by three arbitrators appointed in accordance with the

  


					
		  	25	  	CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT









 Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in San Francisco, California if initiated by SciClone or Frankfurt,
Germany if initiated by RESprotect. Any decision or award resulting from the arbitration provided for herein shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. Judgment upon the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court of competent
jurisdiction. Under no circumstances shall either party be obliged to use arbitration to reconcile RESprotect patent issues. The arbitrator shall have right to award costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the prevailing party in any
arbitration. 
 (c) Right to Seek Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.6, either party
has the right to bring suit in a court of competent jurisdiction against the other party for (i) any breach of such other party’s duties of confidentiality pursuant to Article XII of this Agreement and (ii) any infringement of
its intellectual property rights by the other party. 
 SECTION 14.7 No Other Proceedings. SciClone agrees not to initiate any proceedings to
challenge the validity of the RESprotect Patent Rights or the secrecy of the RESprotect Know-how unless this Agreement provides otherwise. 
 SECTION 14.8
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the 2007 Supply Agreement together with the Exhibits, Schedules and Appendixes hereto and thereto, contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
All express or implied agreements and understandings, either oral or written, heretofore made are superseded by this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended, or any term hereof modified, only by a written instrument duly executed by all parties
hereto. 
 SECTION 14.9 Headings. The captions to the several Articles and Sections hereof are not a part of this Agreement, but are merely
guides or labels to assist in locating and reading the several Articles and Section hereof. 
 SECTION 14.10 Independent Contractors. It is
expressly agreed that RESprotect and SciClone shall be independent contractors and that the relationship between the two parties shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency. Neither RESprotect nor SciClone shall have the authority to
make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, which shall be binding on the other, without the prior consent of the other party to do so. 
 SECTION 14.11 Exports. The parties acknowledge that the export of technical data, materials, or products is subject to the exporting party receiving any necessary export licenses and that the parties
cannot be responsible for any delays attributable to export controls, which are beyond the reasonable control of either party. SciClone and RESprotect agree not to export or re-export, directly or indirectly, any information, technical data, the
direct product of such data, samples or equipment received or generated under this Agreement in violation of any applicable export control laws or governmental regulations. SciClone and RESprotect agree to obtain similar covenants from their
licensees, sublicensees and contractors with respect to the subject matter of this Section 14.11.
