information, knowledge or data known to it and in its possession to support submission of any application for Regulatory Approvals (and maintenance of such Regulatory Approvals) of the Product by Celyad at Celyad’s cost. 



 

	11.	 Technical Assistance 



 

	11.1.	 Horizon will reasonably support the appropriate transfer of information and technology to Celyad as is
required to enable Celyad to benefit from and exercise the rights granted to Celyad under this Agreement. This shall include providing copies of all relevant documents, training and knowledge in its possession, to the extent material to render such
transfer effective. 


  

	12.	 Foreground IP 



 

	12.1.	 Horizon and Celyad shall each promptly disclose to the other the Horizon Foreground IP and the Celyad
Foreground IP respectively. 


  

	12.2.	 Celyad Foreground IP shall be owned by Celyad. Celyad will be solely responsible and use commercially
reasonable efforts to file for, prosecute, maintain, keep in force and defend Celyad Foreground IP, at its expense. If Celyad decides not to file for a specific Patent (application), or if Celyad decides to abandon or to not further defend an
Intellectual Property Right as part of Celyad Foreground IP, it will notify Horizon at least thirty (30) days in advance, and Horizon can decide at its own discretion whether or not to file for a Patent (application) or take over such
Intellectual Property Rights or responsibility and all associated costs and Celyad will still have a royalty-free license under such assigned rights for the duration of such rights. 



 

	12.3.	 Horizon Foreground IP shall be owned by Horizon. Horizon will be solely responsible and use commercially
reasonable efforts to file for, prosecute, maintain, keep in force and defend Horizon Foreground IP, at its expense. If Horizon decides not to file for a specific Patent (application), or if Horizon decides to abandon or to not further defend an
Intellectual Property Right as part of Horizon Foreground IP, it will notify Celyad at least thirty (30) days in advance, and Celyad can decide at its own discretion whether or not to file for a Patent (application) or take over such
Intellectual Property Rights or responsibility and all associated costs and Horizon will still have a royalty-free license under such assigned rights for the duration of such rights. 



 

	12.4.	 For clarity and for the purposes of this Agreement, in respect of ownership of Foreground IP that is
jointly developed by Horizon Representatives and Celyad Representatives (“Joint IP”), the Parties agree as follows: 


  

	 	(i)	 Joint IP in the Field shall be owned by Celyad; and 



  
 Page 12 of 25 














 CONFIDENTIAL 
  


	 	(ii)	 Joint IP outside of the Field shall be owned by Horizon. 



 

	13.	 Maintenance of Intellectual Property Rights 



 

	13.1.	 Horizon shall during the Term of this Agreement: 



 

	 	13.1.1.	 use commercially reasonable efforts to file for, maintain, register (where applicable), prosecute and
keep in force and defend Horizon Patents and Horizon Know-how, at its expense; 


  

	 	13.1.2.	 use commercially reasonable efforts to continue at its expense the filing, prosecution, registration or
maintenance of the applications for Horizon Patents, unless Celyad gives its consent to abandoning one or more of them or unless Horizon hands over to Celyad the above responsibility. If Horizon decides to abandon or to not further defend (e.g. in
oppositions/appeal proceedings) a Horizon Patent, it will notify Celyad thirty (30) days in advance, and Celyad shall decide at its own discretion whether or not to take over such responsibility and all associated costs. In this case, Horizon
will still have a royalty-free license under such assigned rights for the duration of such rights. 


  

	14.	 Infringement 


  


	14.1.	 Either Party, as the case may be, shall upon becoming aware of a suspected infringement of any of the
Foreground IP and Horizon Patents or any unauthorized use or threatened use of Foreground IP and Horizon Know-how, promptly notify the other Party and provide available particulars thereof.



  

	14.2.	 If such infringement or use consists of any act which (if done by Celyad) would be within the scope of
the license granted by Clause 4.1, Horizon shall, subject to clause 15.2, decide whether to take such action (whether litigation, arbitration or compromise as appropriate) as is necessary for the protection of Horizon Intellectual Property Rights.
If Horizon notifies Celyad that it does not intend to take such action, or, within fifteen (15) Business Days of either Party becoming aware of such infringement, fails to take such action, Celyad may commence proceedings. Neither Party shall
settle any proceeding under this Clause without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any recovery received as a result of any action pursuant to this Clause 14.2 shall be used first to
reimburse the enforcing Party for the costs and expenses (including court, attorneys’ and professional fees) incurred in connection with such action. The remainder of the recovery attributable to the action shall be paid to Celyad in such a
percentage as it is appropriate should Celyad be injured by such action in relation to the Products. 


  

	14.3.	 Either Party will give the other Party all such reasonable assistance as the Party in charge of
proceedings for suspected infringements under Clause 14.2 may reasonably require, at such assisting Party’s own cost. 


  

	14.4.	 Neither Party will incur liability to the other as a consequence of such proceeding or any unfavorable
decision resulting therefrom, but this sentence is without limitation of a Party’s other obligations under this Agreement.

	15.	 Third Party Infringement 



 

	15.1.	 Each Party shall notify the other Party of any risk identified relating to the potential infringement of
a Third Party Intellectual Property Right by the exercise of the license rights granted under this Agreement, in due time upon its identification. 


  

	15.2.	 After notifying any such risk derived from a relevant Third Party Intellectual Property Right to the
other Party, the Parties shall discuss and, as the case may be, agree on the appropriate mitigation or remedy strategy. 


  

	15.3.	 Each Party or its permitted subcontractors shall promptly notify the other Party in writing if it
receives a claim or a Threatened Claim by a Third Party for infringement or for inducing or contributing to infringement of Intellectual Property Rights controlled by a Third Party, which would be directly related to the use, research, development,
manufacturing and/or sale of the Product. 


  

	15.4.	 Upon receipt of a claim, the Parties shall discuss in good faith, consult and determine an appropriate
strategy for course of action or for defense against any such claim. Each Party shall render the other Party all reasonable assistance in defending any such claim. 



 

	15.5.	 In the case of a filed or Threatened Claim by a Third Party for infringement or for inducing or
contributing to infringement in the Territory of any Third Party Intellectual Property Rights, and in case of an infringement risk as identified and discussed by the Parties according to 15.1 and 15.2, and provided that an infringement opinion by an
external qualified counsel as determined by the Parties comes to the conclusion that the chances of a court of law confirming a finding of infringement is more than fifty per cent (50%), Celyad will have the right to immediately delay or suspend the
use, research, development, manufacturing and/or sale of the Product. At the same time Horizon shall, at its own expense, investigate the below options within the specified terms: 



 

	 	15.5.1.	 use commercially reasonable efforts to have started and progressed on negotiating for the benefit of
Celyad (and any sub-licensees in multiple tiers) the right to continue using such Product within six (6) months; or 



 

	 	15.5.2.	 use commercially reasonable efforts to have initiated development activities in order to replace such
Product with a non-infringing product which performs substantially the same functions as the Product within six (6) months; or 



 

	 	15.5.3.	 use commercially reasonable efforts to have initiated development activities in order to modify such
Product to become non-infringing, provided always that it performs substantially the same functions as the Product, within six (6) months. 



The Parties shall after this term agree on a maximum period for investigating the above options during which period the use, research,
development, manufacturing and/or sale of the Product by Celyad are suspended, in view of any commercial and regulatory requirements and considerations. 
  

	15.6.	 Celyad shall assist and cooperate with Horizon, at its costs, in any such defense or action taken by
Horizon in relation to claims of any Third Party relating to the Product in the Field.

	17.	 Confidentiality 



 

	17.1.	 Upon execution of this Agreement, the MDNA shall cease to exist and be in full force and effect in its
entirety and any obligation of confidentiality thereunder shall be absorbed by this Agreement.

the Parties shall take all steps necessary to preserve the secrecy of the Know-how and the Confidential Information for the sole purpose of their activities, using their rights and fulfilling their obligations

confidence and shall not be used or disclosed to any Third Party (except Representatives) by the Recipient without the prior written consent of the Discloser.

demonstrate that: 


  

	 	17.5.1.	 is or later becomes freely available to the public otherwise than through the fault of the Recipient in
breach of this Agreement; 


  

	 	17.5.2.	 was in the possession of the Recipient prior to its receipt from the Discloser; 



 

	 	17.5.3.	 was independently received from a Third Party who is free from any obligations to Discloser not to
disclose it; 


  

	 	17.5.4.	 was conceived by the Recipient independently of the information received or acquired from the Discloser;
or 


  

	 	17.5.5.	 was required to be disclosed by law, government agency, court order, stock exchange authority or valid
discovery request in connection with a legal proceeding (“Statutory Disclosure”), provided that the Recipient provides the Discloser as promptly as possible with prior written notice of any such Statutory Disclosure (unless such
notice is impracticable or prohibited by such Applicable Laws) so that application for an appropriate protective order can be made by Discloser. The Recipient will fully cooperate (at the Discloser’s expense) in connection with the
Discloser’s efforts to obtain any such order or other remedy. The Recipient shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that it is legally required to satisfy the Statutory Disclosure and such disclosure under this Clause
17.5.5 shall be made without liability from Recipient.

	30.	 Force Majeure 



 

	30.1.	 The obligations of each Party under this Agreement shall be suspended during the period and to the
