                	(c)

                	(a)	
                  must require the sublicensee to abide by confidentiality and non-use obligations at least as stringent as those contained in Article IX of this Agreement;

                


        

      

       

      
        
          	

                	(b)	
                  must include rights and obligations upon termination of the sublicense which are consistent in all material respects with the termination provisions of this Agreement;

                


        

      

       

      
        
          	

                	(c)	
                  in the event that the sublicensee is granted the right to offer to sell or sell Licensed Compound or Licensed Product, must require the sublicensee to pay at least the royalties on Net Sales of Licensed Product specified in Article







                      VII of this Agreement and to keep records and render reports as required in Section 7.04 and Section 7.05 and be subject to Merck’s audit rights as set forth in Section 7.05 of this Agreement;

                


        

      

       

      
        
          	

                	(d)	
                  must preclude the sublicensee from granting further sublicenses or the right to enforce the Compound Patent Rights;

                


        

      

       

      
        
          	

                	(e)	
                  must obligate the sublicensee to maintain insurance in amounts consistent with Section 11.06;

                	(f)

                	(g)	
                  must include a provision stating, in words or substance, that Merck is not a party to the sublicense agreement and has no liability to any licensee, sublicensee or user of anything covered by the sublicense agreement, but that Merck
                    is an intended third party beneficiary of the sublicense agreement and certain of its provisions are for the benefit of Merck and are enforceable by Merck in its own name.

                


        

      

       

      Licensee shall (i) use reasonable efforts to procure the performance by any sublicensee of the terms of each such sublicense Agreement, and (ii) ensure that any sublicensee will comply with the applicable terms and
        conditions of this Agreement.  Licensee hereby guarantees the performance of its Affiliates and sublicensees that are sublicensed as permitted herein, and the grant of any such sublicense will not relieve Licensee of its obligations under this
        Agreement, except to the extent they are satisfactorily performed by such Affiliate or sublicensee.

       

      2.06       Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to any section of this Agreement

        exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code or equivalent legislation in any other jurisdiction.  Upon the bankruptcy of either Party, the other Party shall further be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access
        to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property, and such, if not already in its possession, shall be promptly delivered to such other Party, unless the Party in bankruptcy elects to continue, and continues, to perform all of its obligations
        under this Agreement.

                    shall furnish to Merck a written report for the Calendar Quarter showing the Net Sales of Licensed Product sold by Licensee, its Affiliates and its sublicensees in the Territory during such Calendar Quarter and the royalties payable
                    under this Agreement for such Calendar Quarter.  Such written report shall include the gross sales of Licensed Product on a country-by-country basis, an itemized calculation of any deductions taken from such gross sales to arrive at Net
                    Sales for the applicable Calendar Quarter and the calculation of the amount of royalty payment due on such Net Sales.  Such report shall also include, on a country-by-country basis, the month and year of the first commercial sale of
                    Licensed Product.  Simultaneously with the submission of the written report, Licensee shall pay to Merck, for the account of Licensee or the applicable Affiliate or sublicensee, as the case may be, a sum equal to the aggregate royalty
                    due for such Calendar Quarter calculated in accordance with this Agreement.

                


        

      

       

      
        
          	

                	(b)	
                  Method of Payment.  All payments to be made by Licensee to Merck under this Agreement shall be paid by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account as is designated in
                    writing by Merck from time to time.  Royalty payments shall be made in United States dollars to the extent that free conversion to United States dollars is permitted.  The rate of exchange to be used in any such conversion from the
                    currency in the country where such Net Sales are made shall be the rate of exchange used by Licensee for reporting such sales for United States financial statement purposes.  If, due to restrictions or prohibitions imposed by national
                    or international authority, payments cannot be made as aforesaid, the Parties shall consult with a view to finding a prompt and acceptable solution, and Licensee will make such payments in any manner as Merck may lawfully direct;
                    ,provided that Licensee shall not be obligated to incur any additional out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such payments.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if royalties in any country cannot be remitted to Merck for any reason
                    within six (6) months after the end of the Calendar Quarter during which they arc earned, then Licensee shall be obligated to deposit the royalties in a bank account in such country in the name of Merck.

                  Record Keeping by Licensee.  Licensee and its Affiliates shall keep complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to enable the royalties payable hereunder to be determined.  Upon sixty
                    (60) days prior written notice from Merck, Licensee shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by Merck and reasonably acceptable to Licensee, at Merck’s expense, to have
                    access during normal business hours to examine the pertinent books and records of Licensee, its Affiliates and/or sublicensees as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the royalty reports hereunder.  The examination
                    shall be limited to the pertinent books and records for any year ending not more than thirty-six (36) months prior to the date of such request.  Historical records will not be requested from Licensee for any periods prior to the
                    Effective Date of this Agreement.  An examination under this Section 7.05(a) shall not occur more than once in any Calendar Year.  Licensee may designate competitively sensitive information that such auditor may not disclose to
                    Merck, provided, however.  that such designation shall not encompass the auditor’s conclusions.  The accounting firm shall disclose to Merck only whether the royalty reports arc correct or incorrect and the specific
                    details concerning any discrepancies.  No other information shall be provided to Merck.  All such accounting firms shall sign a confidentiality agreement (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Licensee) as to any of Licensee’s
                    or its Affiliate’s confidential information that such accounting firms are provided, or to which they have access, while conducting any audit pursuant to this Section 7.05(a).

                


        

      

       

      
        
          	

                	(b)	
                  Underpayments/Overpayments.  If such accounting firm correctly concludes that additional royalties were owed during such period, Licensee shall pay such additional royalties within thirty (30)
                    days of the date Merck delivers to Licensee such accounting firm’s written report so correctly concluding.  If such underpayment exceeds Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars and five percent (5%) of the sums correctly due Merck then the
                    fees charged by such accounting firm for the work associated with the underpayment audit shall be paid by Licensee.  Any overpayments by Licensee will be credited against future royalty obligations.

       ARTICLE VIII - PATENTS

       

      8.01       Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents. Merck agrees to prosecute and maintain in the Territory, on its own or through
        mutually agreeable outside counsel, the Compound Patent Rights, provided that Licensee will reimburse Merck for its out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees, relating to such patent prosecution and maintenance in all countries.  Merck shall
        keep Licensee advised of such patent prosecution and maintenance and upon the written request of the Licensee, will provide advance copies of any substantive papers related to the prosecution and maintenance of such patent filings.  A budget
        estimate of total patent costs to the best estimate of Merck will be provided to Licensee within sixty (60) days of after the Effective Date.

       

      8.02       Option of Licensee to Prosecute and Maintain Patents. Merck shall give notice to Licensee of any desire to cease prosecution
        and/or maintenance of any patent application or patent included in the Compound Patent Rights and, in such case, shall permit Licensee, at Licensee’s sole discretion, to continue the prosecution or maintenance of the Compound Patent Rights in
        Merck’s name at the expense of Licensee.

       

      8.03       Enforcement and Defense. In the event that either Licensee or Merck becomes aware of any alleged, threatened or actual
        commercially material infringement of a Compound Patent Right in a country in the Territory, or judicial challenge to the validity of a Compound Patent Right in a country in the Territory, it will notify the other Party in writing to that effect
        within a reasonable time period.  Merck and Licensee shall thereafter consult and cooperate fully to determine a course of action, including but not limited to the commencement of legal action by either or both Merck and Licensee to terminate any
        infringement of Compound Patent Rights or defend the validity of any Compound Patent Right.  In all instances, each Party shall have the right to be represented by counsel of its own choice.

       

      
        
          	

                	(a)	
                  First Right of Merck; Right of Licensee to Assume.  Merck shall have the first right to initiate, prosecute or control any such legal action.  Merck shall promptly notify Licensee in writing if
                    it elects not to exercise such first right and, if the rights of Licensee under this Agreement may be materially affected, Licensee shall thereafter have the right to either initiate, prosecute or control, entirely under its own
                    direction, any such legal action, in the name of Licensee and, if necessary, Merck.

                	(b)	
                  Expenses and Cooperation.  Merck shall bear all the expenses of any legal action brought by it and in which Licensee is not a party to the action.  Licensee shall have the right, prior to
                    commencement of the legal action brought by Merck, to join any such legal action in which the rights of Licensee under this Agreement may be materially affected.  In the event that Licensee joins in such legal action, or initiates,
                    prosecutes or controls the defense of any such action pursuant to Section 8.03(a), Licensee shall pay the costs of such legal action.  Each Party shall keep the other informed of developments in any action or proceeding,
                    including, to the extent permissible by law, the consultation and approval of any settlement negotiations and the terms of any offer related thereto.  In the event that Licensee is a party to such a legal action, no settlement, consent
                    judgment or other voluntary final disposition of the suit may be entered into without the mutual consent of Licensee and Merck, and such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

      8.04       Patent Term Restoration.  The Parties hereto shall cooperate with each other in obtaining patent term restoration or
        supplemental protection certificates or their equivalents in any country in the Territory where applicable to Compound Patent Rights.  In the event there is a conflict between Merck and Licensee with respect to an election for obtaining such patent
        term restoration or supplemental protection certificates or their equivalents, Merck shall have the right to make the election and Licensee agrees to abide by such election.  Each Party agrees to assist the other Party as needed with the filing and
        prosecuting of any such application for patent term restoration or supplemental protection certificates or their equivalents.  In the event Merck makes the election pursuant to its right under this Section 8.04.  Merck shall pay all costs
        associated with the preparation, filing and prosecuting of any such application for patent term restoration or supplemental protection certificates or their equivalents; otherwise the cost will be borne by Licensee.

       

      8.05       Interference, Derivation, Opposition, Reissue Reexamination and Post Grant Review Proceedings. Any Party shall, within ten
        (10) business days of learning of any request for, or filing or declaration of, any interference, derivation, opposition, reexamination, or post grant review (or similar administrative proceedings) relating to Compound Patent Rights, inform the
        other Party of such event.  Merck and Licensee shall thereafter consult and cooperate fully to determine a course of action with respect to any such proceeding.  Merck shall have the first right to control any such proceeding or action.  Merck
        shall promptly notify Licensee in writing if it elects not to exercise such first right and, if the rights of Licensee under this Agreement may be materially affected, Licensee shall thereafter have the right to control, entirely under its own
        direction, any such proceeding or action, in the name of Merck.  The controlling Party shall bear the expense of such proceeding or action.  The controlling Party shall keep the non-controlling Party informed of developments in any such action or
        proceeding, including, to the extent permissible by law, consultation and approval of any settlement, the status of any settlement negotiations and the terms of any offer related thereto.

       

      8.06       Abandonment. Merck shall promptly give notice to Licensee of the grant lapse, revocation, surrender, invalidation or
        abandonment of any Compound Patent Rights licensed to Licensee for which Merck is responsible for the prosecution and maintenance under this Agreement.  If Merck declines to exercise its first right under Section 8.03 or Section 8.05,
        Merck shall have no obligation to initiate, prosecute or control any such legal action or proceeding.

       

      8.07       No Challenge of Validity of Patent. Licensee hereby agrees that in the event that it, its Affiliates or sublicensees
        challenges the validity of any patent application or patent within the Compound Patent Rights, Merck may, in its sole discretion, exercise its termination rights under Article XII.

                	(a)	
                  Nondisclosure Obligation.  Each of Merck and Licensee shall use any Proprietary Information received by it from the other Party only in accordance with this Agreement and shall not disclose to
                    any Third Party any such Proprietary Information without the prior written consent of the other Party.  The foregoing obligations shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for a period of ten (10) years.  These
                    obligations shall not apply to Proprietary Information that:

                


        

      

       

      
        
          	

                	(i)	
                  is known by the receiving Party at the time of its receipt, and not through a prior disclosure by the disclosing Party, as documented by the receiving Party’s written records;

                


        

      

       

      
        
          	

                	(ii)	
                  is at the time of disclosure or thereafter becomes, published or otherwise part of the public domain without breach of the obligation of confidentiality under this Agreement by the receiving Party;

                


        

      

       

      
        
          	

                	(iii)	
                  is subsequently disclosed to the receiving Party by a Third Party who has the right to make such disclosure, as documented by the receiving Party’s written records;

                


        

      

       

      
        
          	

                	(iv)	
                  is independently developed by the receiving Party or its Affiliates and without the aid, use or application of any of the disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information, and such independent development can be documented by the receiving
                    Party’s written records;

                


        

      

       

      
        
          	

                	(v)	
                  is disclosed to any institutional review board of any entity conducting clinical trials with Licensed Product or to any governmental or other regulatory agencies in order to obtain patents or to gain approval to conduct clinical
                    trials or to market Licensed Product, provided that such disclosure may be made only to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain such patents or authorizations; or

                


        

      

       

      
        
          	

                	(vi)	
                  is required to be disclosed by law, regulation, rule, act or order of any governmental authority or agency to be disclosed, provided that notice is promptly delivered to the other Party in order to provide an opportunity to seek a
                    protective order or other similar order with respect to such Proprietary Information and thereafter the receiving Party discloses to the requesting entity only the minimum information required to be disclosed in order to comply with the
                    request, whether or not a protective order or other similar order is obtained by the other Party.

                


        

      

       

      
        
          	

                	(b)	
                  Disclosure to Agents.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.01(a) and subject to the other terms of this Agreement, each of Licensee and Merck shall have the right to disclose
                    Proprietary Information to their respective sublicensees, agents, consultants, Affiliates or other Third Parties (collectively “Agents”) in accordance with this Section 9.01(b).  Such disclosure shall be limited only to those
                    Agents directly involved in the Development, Manufacturing, marketing or promotion of Licensed Compound or Licensed Product (or for such Agents to determine their interest in performing such activities) in accordance with this
                    Agreement.  Any such Agents must agree in writing to be bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations essentially the same as those contained in this Agreement.

      9.02       Return of Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement, the receiving Party will return all documents, and
        copies thereof, including those in the possession of the receiving Party’s Agents pursuant to Section 9.01(b), containing the disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information at any time upon the written request of the disclosing Party.  However,
        the receiving Party may retain one (1) copy of such documents in a secure location solely for the purposes of (i) determining its obligations hereunder, (ii) complying with any applicable regulatory requirements, or (iii) defending against any
        product liability claim.

       

      9.03        Breach of Confidentiality. The Parties agree that the disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information in
        violation of this Agreement may cause the Disclosing Party irreparable harm and that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party entitles disclosing Party to seek injunctive relief, in addition to any other legal or
        equitable remedies available to it, in any court of competent jurisdiction.  For clarity, such disputes shall not be subject to Article XIII.

       

      9.04       No Publicity. A Party may not use the name of the other Party in any publicity or advertising and may not issue a press
        release or otherwise publicize or disclose any information related to the existence of this Agreement or the terms or conditions herein, except (i) on the advice of its counsel as required by law (e.g., any Securities and Exchange Commission
        filings and disclosures) and provided the Party who will be disclosing such information has consulted with the other Party to the extent feasible prior to such disclosure with respect to the substance of the disclosure; or (ii) as consented to in
        advance by the other Party in writing.  The Parties shall agree on a form of initial press release that may be used by either Party on an ongoing basis to describe this Agreement.  Licensee shall provide Merck with reasonable advance written notice
        of any press release or other public disclosure of the results of any of its work on Licensed Product under this Agreement.

       

      9.05        Scientific Publications. Each Party recognizes the mutual interest in obtaining valid patent protection and in protecting
        business interests and trade secret information.  Consequently, except for disclosures permitted pursuant to Section 9.01 and Section 9.04 of this Agreement, in the event that a Party wishes to make a publication containing any
        Merck Know-How or that is the subject of Compound Patent Rights, such Party shall deliver to the other Party a copy of the proposed written publication at least sixty (60) days prior to submission for publication.  The Parties shall have the right
        to propose modifications to or delay of the publication for patent reasons or trade secrets.  If a reviewing Party requests a delay for patent reasons, the other Party shall delay submission for a period of up to ninety (90) days to enable patent
        applications protecting each Party’s rights in such information to be filed.  Upon expiration of such delay, the Party seeking to publish shall be free to proceed with the publication.  If a Party requests modifications to the publication, the
        Party seeking to publish shall edit such publication to prevent disclosure of trade secret or Proprietary Information prior to submission of the publication.

      9.06       Terms of Agreement. Neither Party nor its Affiliates shall disclose any terms or conditions of this Agreement to any Third
        Party without the prior consent of the other Party, except as follows: A Party and its Affiliates may disclose the terms or conditions of this Agreement (but not any other Proprietary Information, which may be disclosed only as described elsewhere
        in this Article IX), (a) on a need-to-know basis to its legal and financial advisors to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary, provided that such advisors are subject to confidentiality with regard to such information under an
        agreement or ethical obligation; (b) to a Third Party in connection with (i) a financing (or proposed financing) or an equity investment (or proposed investment) in such Party or its Affiliates, including to its shareholders and prospective
        shareholders, (ii) a merger, consolidation or similar transaction by such Party or its Affiliates, (iii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such Party or its Affiliates, or (iv) in connection with a Securitization, provided that
        such Third Party executes a non-use and non-disclosure agreement and observes the same obligations of confidentiality as such Party owes under this Agreement with respect to Proprietary Information of the other Party; (c) to the United States
        Securities and Exchange Commission or any other securities exchange or governmental entity, including as required to make an initial or subsequent public offering, or (d) as otherwise required by law or regulation, provided that in the case of (c)
        and (d) the disclosing Party shall (x) if practicable, provide the other Party with reasonable advance notice of and an opportunity to comment on any such required disclosure, (y) if requested by such other Party, seek, or cooperate with such
        Party’s efforts to obtain, confidential treatment or a protective order with respect to any such disclosure to the extent available at such other Party’s expense, and (z) use good faith efforts to incorporate the comments of such other Party in any
        such disclosure or request for confidential treatment or protective order.

      ARTICLE XI - INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION ON LIABILITY

       

      11.01      Indemnification by Licensee. Licensee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Merck and its Affiliates, and each of its
        and their respective employees, officers, directors and agents (each, a “Merck Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, cost, and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), subject to the limitations in Section







          11.05 (collectively, a “Liability”) that a Merck Indemnified Party may incur, suffer or be required to pay resulting from or arising out of (i) the development, Manufacture, promotion, distribution, use, marketing, sale or other disposition
        of Licensed Compound and/or Licensed Product by Licensee, its Affiliates or sublicensees, (ii) any breach by Licensee of any of its representations, warranties and covenants contained in Sections 10.01, 10.02, and 10.04 herein, and (iii)
        the negligence and/or willful misconduct of Licensee, its Affiliates or sublicensees.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee shall have no obligation under this Agreement to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Merck Indemnified Party with
        respect to any Liabilities that result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Merck, Merck Indemnified Party or any of their respective employees, officers, directors or agents or that result from Merck’s breach of its obligations under
        this Agreement.

       

      

      
        26

        
          


      

      11.02     Indemnification by Merck. Merck shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensee and its Affiliates, and each of its and
        their respective employees, officers, directors and agents (each, a “Licensee Indemnified Party”) from and against any Liability that a Licensee Indemnified Party may incur, suffer or be required to pay resulting from or arising in connection with
        (i) any breach by Merck of any of its representations, warranties and covenants contained in Sections 10.01, 10.03 and 10.04 herein and (ii) the negligence and/or willful misconduct of Merck.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Merck shall have
        no obligation under this Agreement to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Licensee Indemnified Party with respect to any Liabilities that result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Licensee, Licensee Indemnified Party or any of
        their respective employees, officers, directors or agents or that result from Licensee’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement,.

       

      11.03     Conditions to Indemnification.  The obligations of the indemnifying Party under Sections 11.01 and 11.02 are
        conditioned upon the delivery of written notice to the indemnifying Party of any potential Liability promptly after the indemnified Party becomes aware of such potential Liability.  The indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense
        of any suit or claim related to the Liability if it has assumed responsibility for the suit or claim in writing; however, if in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified Party, such suit or claim involves an issue or matter that could have a
        materially adverse effect on the business operations or assets of the indemnified Party, the indemnified Party may retain control of the defense or settlement thereof by providing written notice of such effect to the indemnifying Party, but in no
        event shall such action or notice be construed as a waiver of any indemnification rights that the indemnified Party may have at law or in equity.  If the indemnifying Party defends the suit or claim, the indemnified Party may participate in (but
        not control) the defense thereof at its sole cost and expense.  The foregoing notwithstanding, the Parties acknowledge and agree that failure of the indemnified Party to promptly notify the indemnifying Party of a potential Liability shall not
        constitute a waiver of, or result in the loss of, such Party’s right to indemnification under Section 11.01 or 11.02.  as appropriate, except to the extent that the indemnifying Party’s rights, and/or its ability to defend against such
        Liability, are materially prejudiced by such failure to notify.

       

      11.04     Settlements. Neither Party may settle a claim or action related to a Liability without the consent of the other Party, and
        such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, if such settlement would impose any monetary obligation on the other Party or require the other Party to submit to an injunction or otherwise limit the other Party’s rights under this Agreement.  Any
        payment made by a Party to settle any such claim or action shall be at its own cost and expense.

       

      11.05      Limitation of Liability. With respect to any claim by one Party against the other arising out of the performance or failure
        of performance of the other Party under this Agreement, the Parties expressly agree that the liability of such Party to the other Party for such breach shall be limited under this Agreement or otherwise at law or equity to direct damages only and
        in no event shall a Party be liable for punitive, exemplary or consequential damages.

        11.06      Insurance. At such time as Licensee or any of its sublicensee begins to sell or distribute Product(s), Licensee shall, at its own expense, procure and
        maintain policies of comprehensive general liability insurance (including without limitation product liability insurance) [***].  All such policies shall name Merck as an additional insured , and insurers
        will waive all rights of subrogation against Merck.  Upon Merck’s request, Licensee will promptly provide for itself and its sublicensees copies of certificates of insurance evidencing such coverages.  Licensee shall notify Merck not less than
        thirty (30) days in advance of any material change or cancellation of any policy.  Licensee shall continue to maintain such insurance in effect after the expiration or termination of this Agreement during any period in which Licensee or its
        sublicensee continues to make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell or import Product.  If any insurance is on a claims made basis, Licensee will maintain such insurance for a period of not less than five (5) years after it has ceased all commercial
        sale, distribution or use of any Product.

       

      ARTICLE XII - TERM AND TERMINATION

                	(i)	
                  upon or after the breach of any material provision of this Agreement if the breaching Party has not cured such breach within sixty (60) days following receipt of written notice from the non-breaching Party requesting cure of the
                    breach or, if such breach is not susceptible of cure within such sixty (60) day period , the breaching Party has not taken appropriate steps to commence such cure during such sixty (60)-day period and continued to diligently pursue such
                    cure in a manner reasonably assuring such cure within a reasonable period of time thereafter (not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days).  Any right to terminate under this Section 12.03(a) shall be stayed and the cure period
                    tolled in the event that, during any cure period, the Party alleged to have been in material breach shall have initiated dispute resolution in accordance with Article XIII with respect to the alleged breach, which stay and
                    tolling shall last so long as the allegedly breaching Party diligently and in good faith cooperates in the prompt resolution of such dispute resolution proceedings; or

                    other Party, or in the event a receiver or custodian is appointed for such Party’s business, or if a substantial portion of such Party’s business is subject to attachment or similar process; provided, however, that in the case of any
                    involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, such right to terminate shall only become effective if the proceeding is not dismissed within one hundred twenty (120) days after the filing thereof.

        attempted resolution by good faith negotiations.  If such representatives are unable to resolve promptly such disputed matter within the said thirty (30) days, either Party may refer the matter by written notice to the other to the appropriate
        therapy area Vice President of Merck Research Laboratories, or his designee, and the Chief Executive Officer of Licensee, or his designee, for discussion and resolution.  If such individuals or their designees are unable to resolve such dispute
        within thirty (30) days of such written notice, either Party may initiate arbitration proceedings in accordance with the provisions of this Article XIII.

       

      13.02     Arbitration. All disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the rights or obligations of the Parties
        hereunder, or relating in any way to the relationship between the Parties with respect to Licensed Compound or Licensed Product, shall be finally and exclusively settled by arbitration by a panel of three (3) arbitrators, provided such dispute is
        not an “Excluded Claim”.  As used in this Section, the phrase “Excluded Claim” shall mean a dispute, controversy or claim that concerns (a) the validity or infringement of a patent, trademark or copyright; or (b) any antitrust, anti-monopoly or
        competition law or regulation, whether or not statutory

       

      
        
          	

                	(a)	
                  The arbitration proceeding shall be conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) with such proceedings to be held in Newark, New Jersey, United States.  In all cases, the
                    arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in the English language, and all documents that are submitted in the proceeding shall be in the English language.  Judgment upon the award rendered by arbitration may be issued and enforced by
                    any court having competent jurisdiction.

                


        

      

       

      
        
          	

                	(b)	
                  If a Party intends to begin an arbitration to resolve a dispute, such Party shall provide written notice to the other Party, informing the other Party of such intention and any statement of claim required under the applicable
                    arbitration rules (as determined in accordance with Section 13.02(a)).  Within twenty (20) business days after its receipt of such notice, the other Party shall, by written notice to the Party initiating arbitration, add any
                    additional issues to be resolved that would be considered mandatory counterclaims under New Jersey law.  For clarity, the resolution of any disputes regarding such counterclaims shall be conducted in the same proceedings as the initial
                    claims.

                


        

      

       

      
        
          	

                	(c)	
                  Within forty-five (45) days following the receipt of the notice of arbitration, the Party referring the matter to arbitration shall appoint an arbitrator and promptly notify the other Party of such appointment.  The other Party
                    shall, upon receiving such notice, appoint a second arbitrator within twenty one (21) days, and the two (2) arbitrators shall, within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, agree on the appointment of a third
                    arbitrator who will act with them and be the chairperson of the arbitration panel.  In the event that either Party shall fail to appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the commencement of the arbitration proceeding, the
                    arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA.  In the event of the failure of the two (2) arbitrators to agree within sixty (60) days after the commencement of the arbitration proceeding to appoint the chairperson, the chairperson shall
                    also be appointed by the AAA.

                	(i)	
                  All of the arbitrators shall have significant legal or business experience in pharmaceutical licensing matters.  The arbitrators shall not be employees, directors or shareholders of either Party or any of their Affiliates.

                	(iv)	
                  In any arbitration pursuant to this Agreement, the award or decision shall be rendered by a majority of the members of the panel provided for herein, with each member having one (1) vote.  The arbitrators shall render a written
                    decision with their resolution of the dispute that shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts of the dispute and the reasons for their decision.  The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and non-appealable and binding on the
                    Parties.

                


        

      

       

      13.03     Injunctive Relief. By agreeing to arbitration, the Parties do not intend to deprive any competent court of such court’s
        jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment or other order in aid of the arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any award or judgment.  Without prejudice to such provisional remedies in aid of arbitration as may
        be available under the jurisdiction of a national court, the court of arbitration shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to award damages for failure of any Party to respect the court of arbitration’s order to that effect.

       

      13.04     Expenses of Arbitration and Expert Determination. Each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, costs, and disbursements
        arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the arbitrators; provided, however, that the arbitrators shall be authorized
        to determine whether a Party is the prevailing Party, and if so, to award to that prevailing Party reimbursement for its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy
        charges and travel expenses).  Absent the filing of an application to correct or vacate the arbitration award as permitted by applicable law, each Party shall fully perform and satisfy the arbitration award within fifteen (15) days of the service
        of the award.

                	(a)	
                  Assignment.  Neither this Agreement nor any or all of the rights and obligations of a Party hereunder may be assigned, delegated, sold, transferred, sublicensed (except as otherwise provided
                    herein) or otherwise disposed of, by operation of law or otherwise, to any Third Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any attempted assignment, delegation, sale, transfer, prohibited sublicense or other
                    disposition, by operation of law or otherwise, of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder contrary to this Section 14.01 shall be a material breach of this Agreement by the attempting Party, and shall be void
                    and without force or effect; provided, however, that either Party may, without such consent of such Party, assign the Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate or in connection with the transfer
                    or sale of all or substantially all of its assets related to the division or the subject business, or in the event of its merger or consolidation or change in control or similar transaction.  This Agreement shall be binding upon, and
                    inure to the benefit of, each Party, its Affiliates, and its permitted successors and assigns.  Each Party shall be responsible for the compliance by its Affiliates with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

                	(b)	
                  Change of Control at Licensee.  In the event that any Change of Control (as defined below) causes Licensee’s rights and obligations hereunder to pass to any Third Party, such Third Party shall,
                    within sixty (60) days after the effective date of such Change of Control, notify Merck of its intentions with regard to the Development and Commercialization of Licensed Product under this Agreement.  If the Third Party succeeding to
                    Licensee’s rights and obligations under this Agreement decides it will not continue the Development and/or Commercialization of Licensed Product, then Merck shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written
                    notice to Licensee, without any opportunity to cure.  If the Third Party succeeding to Licensee’s rights and obligations under this Agreement decides to continue the Development and Commercialization of Licensed Product, then all of the
                    rights and obligations of Licensee under this Agreement shall inure to such Third Party; provided, that within forty-five (45) days after the Change of Control, such Third Party successor shall submit to Merck a new
                    Development Plan for the next succeeding twelve (12) month period.  Merck shall have the right to comment on the new Development Plan in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.02(b).

                


        

      

       

      
        
          	

                	(c)	
                  Definition of Change of Control.  As used in this Section 14.01 the term “Change of Control” shall mean (i) any merger, reorganization, consolidation or combination in which a Party to
                    this Agreement is not the surviving corporation, or (ii) where any “person” (within the meaning of Sections 13(d) and 14 (d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), excluding Licensee and its Affiliates, is or becomes the beneficial
                    owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Party representing 50% or more of either (a) the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Party or its parent corporation, or (b) the combined voting power of the Party’s
                    then-outstanding voting securities; or (iii) if individuals who as of the Effective Date constitute the Board of Directors of the Party or its parent corporation (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a
                    majority of such Board of Directors; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the Effective Date whose election, or nomination for election by the Party’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least
                    a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office
                    occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Incumbent
                    Board; or (iv) approval by the shareholders of a Party of a complete liquidation or the complete dissolution of such Party.  For the avoidance of doubt, any debt or equity capital raising transaction or series of related debt or equity
                    capital raising transactions entered into by Licensee for purposes of financing Licensee’s ongoing operations or other use contemplated by its then-current business plan shall not constitute a Change of Control hereunder.

      14.02     Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed, interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
        Jersey, without giving effect to its conflict of law principles.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all disputes under this Agreement shall be governed by binding arbitration pursuant to the mechanism set forth in Article XIII herein.

       

      14.03      Waiver. Any delay or failure in enforcing a Party’s rights under this Agreement or any waiver as to a particular default or
        other matter shall not constitute a waiver of such Party’s rights to the future enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, nor operate to bar the exercise or enforcement thereof at any time or times thereafter, excepting only as to an express
        written and signed waiver as to a particular matter for a particular period of time.

       

      14.04     Independent Relationship. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to create an employment, agency, joint venture or
        partnership relationship between the Parties hereto or any of their agents or employees, or any other legal arrangement that would impose liability upon one Party for the act or failure to act of the other Party.  Neither Party shall have any power
        to enter into any contracts or commitments or to incur any liabilities in the name of, or on behalf of, the other Party, or to bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever.

       

      14.05      Export Control. This Agreement is made subject to any restrictions concerning the export of products or technical
        information from the United States of America that may be imposed upon or related to Merck or Licensee from time to time by the government of the United States of America.  Furthermore, Licensee agrees that it will not export, directly or
        indirectly, any technical information acquired from Merck under this Agreement or any products using such technical information to any country for which the United States government or any agency thereof at the time of export requires an export
        license or other governmental approval, without first obtaining the written consent to do so from the Department of Commerce or other agency of the United States government when required by an applicable statute or regulation.

       

      14.06     Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and thereto, sets forth the
        complete, final and exclusive agreement and all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties hereto and supersedes and terminates all prior agreements and understandings between
        the Parties with regard to the subject matter of this Agreement in the Territory.  There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties other than as
        are set forth herein and therein.  No subsequent alteration, amendment, change, waiver or addition to this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties unless reduced to writing and signed by an authorized officer of each Party.

       

      14.07     Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and sufficient if delivered personally, sent by
        facsimile or electronic mail (and promptly confirmed by the other Party), sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier or sent by registered or certified mail; postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows.

      Any such notice shall be deemed to have been received on the earlier of the date actually received or the date five (5) days after the same was posted or sent.  Either Party may change its address or its facsimile
        number by giving the other Party written notice, delivered in accordance with this Section 14.07.

       

      14.08     Force Majeure. Failure of any Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement (except the obligation to make payments
        when properly due) shall not subject such Party to any liability or place them in breach of any term or condition of this Agreement to the other Party if such failure is due to any cause beyond the reasonable control of such non-performing Party
        (“Force Majeure”), unless conclusive evidence to the contrary is provided.  Causes of non-performance constituting Force Majeure shall include, without limitation, acts of God, fire, explosion, flood, drought, war, riot, sabotage, embargo, strikes
        or other labor trouble, failure in whole or in part of suppliers to deliver on schedule materials, equipment or machinery, interruption of or delay in transportation, a national health emergency or compliance with any order or regulation of any
        government entity acting with color of right.  The Party affected shall promptly notify the other Party of the condition constituting Force Majeure as defined herein and shall exert reasonable efforts to eliminate, cure and overcome any such causes
        and to resume performance of its obligations with all possible speed; provided that nothing herein shall obligate a Party to settle on terms unsatisfactory to such Party any strike, lockout or other labor difficulty, any investigation or other
        proceeding by any public authority or any litigation by any Third Party.  If a condition constituting Force Majeure as defined herein exists for more than ninety (90) consecutive days, the Parties shall meet to negotiate a mutually satisfactory
        resolution to the problem, if practicable.  If the Parties cannot in good faith reach a satisfactory resolution to the problem within sixty (60) days of meeting, the matter shall be handled pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions of Article







          XIII herein.

      14.09     Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is declared illegal, invalid or unenforceable by a court having competent
        jurisdiction, it is mutually agreed that this Agreement shall continue in accordance with its terms except for the part declared invalid or unenforceable by order of such court, provided, however, that in the event that the terms and conditions of
        this Agreement arc materially altered, the Parties will, in good faith, renegotiate the terms and conditions of this Agreement to reasonably substitute such invalid or unenforceable provisions in light of the intent of this Agreement. 

       

      14.10     Extension to Affiliates. Merck shall have the right to extend the rights, licenses, immunities and obligations under this
        Agreement to one or more Affiliates.  All applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement shall apply to such Affiliate to which this Agreement has been extended to the same extent as such terms and provisions apply to Merck. 

       

      14.11      Counterpart. This Agreement shall become binding when any one or more counterparts of it, individually or taken together,
        shall bear the signatures of each of the Parties hereto.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original as against either Party whose signature appears thereon, but all of which taken together
        shall constitute but one and the same instrument. 

       

      14.12      Captions. The captions of this Agreement are solely for the convenience of reference and shall not affect its
        interpretation.

        as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.
