	4.	SUBLICENSING 

  

	 	4.1	Upon written approval by PHS, Licensee and any sublicensees of Licensed Patent Rights under this Agreement may enter into sublicensing
agreements under the Licensed Patent Rights, such approval will not be unreasonably delayed or withheld, unless the provisions set forth in Paragraph 4.2 below are not included and/or otherwise not made binding upon the sublicensee. For
purposes of clarification, PHS agrees that modification of the terms of this Agreement will not be a condition for approval by PHS for Licensee or any third party sublicensee to enter into sublicensing agreements.
Licensee shall provide written notice to PHS in the event Licensee or any sublicensee desires to grant a sublicense to a third party to develop or commercialize a Licensed Product. In the event that PHS does not
provide a written objection to Licensee within ten (10) business days after receiving notice under the preceding sentence, PHS shall be deemed to have given its approval to the sublicense arrangement described in the notice.


  

	 	4.2	Licensee agrees that any sublicenses granted by it or any sublicensee shall provide that the obligations to PHS of paragraphs 5.1-5.4, 8.1, 10.1, 10.2,
12.5 and 13.7-13.10 of this Agreement shall be binding upon the sublicensee as if it were a party to this Agreement. Licensee further agrees to provide copies of these Paragraphs to all sublicense agreements.


  

	 	4.3	With respect to the rights licensed hereunder (as opposed to Licensee’s ownership rights), any sublicenses granted by Licensee shall provide for the
termination of the sublicense, or the conversion to a license directly between the sublicensees and PHS, at the option of the sublicensee, upon termination of this Agreement under Article 13. This conversion is subject to PHS
approval and contingent upon acceptance by the sublicensee of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 

  

	 	4.4	Licensee agrees to forward to PHS a complete copy of each fully executed sublicense agreement entered into by Licensee or any sublicensee,
postmarked within thirty (30) days of the execution of such agreement. To the extent permitted by law, PHS agrees to maintain each such sublicense agreement in confidence. 


 

	 	4.5	Notwithstanding the foregoing, PHS agrees that the conditions of Paragraphs 4.1, 4.3 and 4.4 will not apply to the granting of rights under the Licensed
Patent Right by Licensee to an Affiliate of Licensee, or by a sublicensee of Licensee to an Affiliate of the sublicensee, and that such a grant will not be a “sublicense” for purposes of this
Agreement (including, for example, for purposes of triggering payments of sublicensing royalties pursuant to Appendix C). Licensee shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by an Affiliate of Licensee.


  

	5.	STATUTORY AND PHS REQUIREMENTS AND RESERVED GOVERNMENT RIGHTS 

  

	 	5.1    (a)	PHS reserves on behalf of the Government an irrevocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable, royalty-free license for the practice of all inventions licensed
under the Licensed Patent Rights throughout the world by or on behalf of the Government and on behalf of any foreign government or international organization pursuant to any existing or future treaty or agreement to which the
Government is a signatory. Prior to the First Commercial Sale, Licensee agrees to provide PHS with reasonable quantities of Licensed Products or materials made through the Licensed Processes for PHS
research use; and

the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 
  


	 	(b)	In the event that the Licensed Patent Rights are Subject Inventions made under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (“CRADA”),
Licensee grants to the Government, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. §3710a(b)(1)(A), a nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice Licensed Patent Rights or have Licensed Patent Rights practiced
throughout the world by or on behalf of the Government. In the exercise of this license, the Government shall not publicly disclose trade secrets or commercial or financial information that is privileged or confidential within the
meaning of 5 U.S.C. §552(b)(4) or which would be considered as such if it had been obtained from a non-Federal party. Prior to the First Commercial Sale, Licensee agrees to provide PHS reasonable quantities of Licensed
Products or materials made through the Licensed Processes for PHS research use. 

  

	 	5.2	Licensee agrees that products used or sold in the United States embodying Licensed Products or produced through use of Licensed Processes shall be
manufactured substantially in the United States, unless a written waiver is obtained in advance from PHS. 

  

	 	5.3	Licensee acknowledges that PHS may enter into future CRADAs under the Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986 that relate to the subject matter of
this Agreement. Licensee agrees not to unreasonably deny requests for a Research License from future collaborators with PHS when acquiring these rights is necessary in order to make a CRADA project feasible.
Licensee may request an opportunity to join as a party to the proposed CRADA. 

  

	 	5.4    (a)	In addition to the reserved license of Paragraph 5.1, PHS reserves the right to grant Research Licenses directly or to require Licensee to grant
Research Licenses on reasonable terms. The purpose of these Research Licenses is to encourage basic research, whether conducted at an academic or corporate facility. In order to safeguard the Licensed Patent Rights, however,
PHS shall consult with Licensee before granting to commercial entities a Research License or providing to them research samples of materials made through the Licensed Processes; and 


 

	 	(b)	In exceptional circumstances, and in the event that Licensed Patent Rights are Subject Inventions made under a CRADA, the Government, pursuant to
15 U.S.C. §3710a(b)(1)(B), retains the right to require the Licensee to grant to a responsible applicant a nonexclusive, partially exclusive, or exclusive sublicense to use the Licensed Patent Rights in the Licensed Field of
Use on terms that are reasonable under the circumstances, or if Licensee fails to grant this license, the Government retains the right to grant the license itself. The exercise of these rights by the Government shall only be
in exceptional circumstances and only if the Government determines: 

  

	 	(i)	the action is necessary to meet health or safety needs that are not reasonably satisfied by Licensee; 


 

	 	(ii)	the action is necessary to meet requirements for public use specified by Federal regulations, and these requirements are not reasonably satisfied by the
Licensee; or

copies of any and all documents or other materials that PHS deems necessary to undertake such responsibilities. Licensee shall be responsible for all costs associated with transferring patent prosecution responsibilities to an attorney
or agent of PHS’ choice. PHS and its attorneys or agents shall consult with Licensee in all aspects of the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of patent applications and patents included within the Licensee Patent
Rights and shall provide Licensee sufficient opportunity to comment on any document that Licensee intends to file or to cause to be filed with the relevant intellectual property or patent office.

other party. 

  

	8.	RECORD KEEPING 

  

	 	8.1	Licensee agrees to keep accurate and correct records of Licensed Products made, used, sold, or imported and Licensed Processes practiced under this
Agreement appropriate to determine the amount of royalties due PHS. These records shall be retained for at least five (5) years following a given reporting period and shall be available during normal business hours for inspection,
but not more than once during any twelve (12) month period (whether the audit is pursuant to this Paragraph 8.1 or Paragraph 8.2), at the expense of PHS, by an accountant or other designated auditor selected by PHS for the sole

	9.	REPORTS ON PROGRESS, BENCHMARKS, SALES, AND PAYMENTS 

  

	 	9.1	Prior to signing this Agreement, Licensee has provided PHS with the Commercial Development Plan in Appendix E, under which Licensee
intends to bring the subject matter of the Licensed Patent Rights to the point of Practical Application. This Commercial Development Plan is hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement. Based on this plan, performance
Benchmarks are determined as specified in Appendix D. 

  

	 	9.2	Licensee shall provide written annual reports on its product development progress or efforts to commercialize under the Commercial Development Plan for
each of the Licensed Fields of Use within sixty (60) days after December 31 of each calendar year. These progress reports shall include, but not be limited to: progress on research and development, status of applications for
regulatory approvals, manufacturing, sublicensing, marketing, importing, and sales during the preceding calendar year, as well as, plans for the present calendar year. PHS also encourages these reports to include information on any of
Licensee’s public service activities that relate to the Licensed Patent Rights. If reported progress differs from that projected in the Commercial Development Plan and Benchmarks, Licensee shall explain the reasons for
these differences. In the annual report, Licensee may propose amendments to the Commercial Development Plan, acceptance of which by PHS may not be denied unreasonably. Licensee agrees to provide any additional information
reasonably required by PHS to evaluate Licensee’s performance under this Agreement. Licensee may amend the Benchmarks at any time upon written approval by PHS. PHS shall not unreasonably withhold
approval of any request of Licensee to extend the time periods of this schedule if the request is supported by a reasonable showing by Licensee of diligence in its performance under the Commercial Development Plan and toward
bringing the Licensed Products to the point of Practical Application as defined in 37 CFR §404.3(d). Licensee shall amend the Commercial Development Plan and Benchmarks at the request of PHS to address
any Licensed Fields of Use not specifically addressed in the plan originally submitted. 

  

	 	9.3	Licensee shall report to PHS the dates for achieving Benchmarks specified in Appendix D and the First Commercial Sale in each country in the
Licensed Territory within thirty (30) days of such occurrences.

period as shall be pertinent to a royalty accounting to PHS by Licensee for activities under the sublicense. 

  

	 	9.6	Royalties due under Article 6 shall be paid in U.S. dollars and payment options are listed in Appendix G. For conversion of foreign currency to U.S. dollars, the
conversion rate shall be the average of the New York foreign exchange buy and sell rates quoted in The Wall Street Journal on the day that the payment is due. Any loss of exchange, value, taxes, or other expenses incurred in the transfer or
conversion to U.S. dollars shall be paid entirely by Licensee. The royalty report required by Paragraph 9.4 shall be mailed to PHS at its address for Agreement Notices indicated on the Signature Page.

lateness of any payment. 

  

	 	9.9	All plans and reports required by this Article 9, marked as “confidential” by Licensee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be treated by PHS
as commercial and financial information obtained from a person and as privileged and confidential, and any proposed disclosure of these records by the PHS under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. §552 shall be subject to the
predisclosure notification requirements of 45 CFR §5.65(d). 

  

	10.	PERFORMANCE

PHS’ satisfaction that the Licensee has taken, or can be expected to take within a reasonable time, effective steps to achieve Practical Application of the Licensed Products or Licensed Processes;


  

	 	(b)	has not achieved the Benchmarks as may be modified under Paragraph 9.2;

sound and reasonable business practices and judgment and the annual reports submitted by Licensee under Paragraph 9.2. Prior to invoking termination or modification of this Agreement under Paragraph 13.5, PHS shall give written
notice to Licensee providing Licensee specific notice of, and a ninety (90) day opportunity to respond to, PHS’ concerns as to the items referenced in 13.5(a)-13.5(g). If Licensee fails to alleviate

	 	13.7	When the public health and safety so require, and after written notice to Licensee providing Licensee a sixty (60) day opportunity to respond,
PHS shall have the right to require Licensee to grant sublicenses to responsible applicants, on reasonable terms, in any Licensed Fields of Use under the Licensed Patent Rights, unless Licensee can reasonably

applicant has first negotiated in good faith with Licensee.

	14.	GENERAL PROVISIONS 

  

	 	14.1	Neither party may waive or release any of its rights or interests in this Agreement except in writing. The failure of the Government to assert a right
hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right by the Government or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any of these terms or conditions by
Licensee. 

  

	 	14.2	This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter of the Licensed Patent Rights, Licensed Products
and Licensed Processes, and all prior negotiations, representations, agreements, and understandings (except the Licensee CRADA No C-043-2008, NCI Ref. No. 02264) are merged into, extinguished by, and completely expressed by this
Agreement. 

  

	 	14.3	The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and in the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable
under any controlling body of law, this determination shall not in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 


 

	 	14.4	If either party desires a modification to this Agreement, the parties shall, upon reasonable notice of the proposed modification by the party desiring the
change, confer in good faith to determine the desirability of the modification. No modification shall be effective until a written amendment is signed by the signatories to this Agreement or their designees. 


 

	 	14.5	The construction, validity, performance, and effect of this Agreement shall be governed by Federal law as applied by the Federal courts in the District of
Columbia. 

  

	 	14.6	All Agreement notices required or permitted by this Agreement shall be given by prepaid, first class, registered or certified mail or by an
express/overnight delivery service provided by a commercial carrier, properly addressed to the other party at the address designated on the following Signature Page, or to another address as may be designated in writing by the other party.

carrier. Parties should request a legibly dated U.S. Postal Service postmark or obtain a dated receipt from a commercial carrier or the U.S. Postal Service. Private metered postmarks shall not be acceptable as proof of timely mailing.

insolvency, or in any other compulsory procedure or order of court) except to Licensee’s Affiliate(s) without the prior written consent of PHS, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The parties agree that the
identity of the parties is material to the formation of this Agreement and that the obligations under this Agreement are nondelegable without the prior written consent of PHS, such consent not to be unreasonably delayed or
withheld. In such an event, Licensee shall provide written notice to PHS identifying the party to which Licensee desires to assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement. In the event that PHS does not provide a
written objection to Licensee within ten (10) business days after receiving notice under the preceding sentence, PHS shall be deemed to have given its approval to the assignment or transfer arrangement described in the notice.


  

	 	14.8	Licensee agrees in its use of any PHS-supplied materials to comply with all applicable statutes, regulations, and guidelines, including PHS and
HHS regulations and guidelines. Licensee agrees not to use the materials for research involving human subjects or clinical trials in the United States without complying with 21 CFR Part 50 and 45 CFR Part 46. Licensee agrees not
to use the materials for research involving human subjects or clinical trials outside of the United States without notifying PHS, in writing, of the research or trials and complying with the applicable regulations of the appropriate national
control authorities. Written notification to PHS of research involving human subjects or clinical trials outside of the United States shall be given no later than sixty (60) days prior to commencement of the research or trials.


  

	 	14.9	Licensee acknowledges that it is subject to and agrees to abide by the United States laws and regulations (including the Export Administration Act of 1979 and
Arms Export Control Act) controlling the export of technical data, computer software, laboratory prototypes, biological material, and other commodities. The transfer of these items may require a license from the appropriate agency of the U.S.
Government or written assurances by Licensee that it shall not export these items to certain foreign countries without prior approval of this agency. PHS neither represents that a license is or is not required or that, if
required, it shall be issued. 

  

	 	14.10  	Licensee agrees to mark the Licensed Products or their packaging sold in the United States with all applicable U.S. patent numbers and similarly to
indicate “Patent Pending” status. All Licensed Products manufactured in, shipped to, or sold in other countries shall be marked in a manner to preserve PHS patent rights in those countries. 


 

	 	14.11  	By entering into this Agreement, PHS does not directly or indirectly endorse any product or service provided, or to be provided, by Licensee
whether directly or indirectly related to this Agreement. Licensee shall not state or imply that this Agreement is an endorsement by the Government, PHS, any other Government organizational unit, or any
Government employee. Additionally, Licensee shall not use the names of NIH, FDA, PHS, or HHS or the Government or their employees in any advertising, promotional, or sales literature without the prior
written approval of PHS. 

  

	 	14.12  	The parties agree to attempt to settle amicably any controversy or claim arising under this Agreement or a breach of this Agreement, except for appeals of
modifications or termination decisions provided for in Article 13. Licensee agrees first to appeal any unsettled claims or controversies to the designated PHS official, or designee, whose decision shall be considered the final agency
decision. Thereafter, Licensee may exercise any administrative or judicial remedies that may be available.
