 BACKGROUND 
  

	A.	LICENSEE is a biotechnology company which is doing business in the field of gene therapy. It has offices in the US and in France. 


 

	B.	 INSERM-TRANSFERT is INSERM’s wholly owned technology transfer subsidiary, created by a French decree in June 6, 2000. Effective
January 1st 2006, INSERM delegated to
INSERM-TRANSFERT the management of its technology transfer activities. Accordingly INSERM-TRANSFERT is empowered to negotiate, sign and manage license agreements including the present agreement. 



 

	C.	LICENSEE wishes to obtain a license from INSERM-TRANSFERT to the Patents and the related Know How (as these terms are defined hereunder), and INSERM-TRANSFERT is
willing to grant LICENSEE such a license, all on the terms and conditions set forth below. The Parties entered into a Term Sheet N° 07554F10 for a license agreement on April 18, 2008, which detailed part of the conditions of the present
agreement. 

  

	D.	In parallel to such discussions, the Parties and INSERM have also been discussing the execution of a collaborative research agreement (N° 07554F20).


 Considering the Parties’ common interests, they decided to enter into this Patent and Know-How License
Agreement concurrently with said “collaborative research agreement N° 07554F20”. 
 The Parties wish to state in
this preamble that the financing undertaking by LICENSEE was one of causes which led INSERM-TRANSFERT to sign both of these agreements (this Patent and Know-How Licence Agreement and the collaborative research agreement N° 07554F20); this is the
reason why, should LICENSEE fail to perform its financing undertaking, INSERM-TRANSFERT will be provided with certain rights and obligations on the research programs and results therefrom in the conditions more fully detailed herein in order to seek
a new partner to finalize the works and the files so as to obtain the marketing authorizations for the medicines in connection with the LentiD for Adrenoleukodystrohpy therapies. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, conditions and undertakings herein contained, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

the terms of the sublicense and the sublicense agreement itself may be covered by a confidentiality obligation and that, as a consequence, the notification and communication obligations of LICENSEE described above may be subject to obtaining prior
written consent of Sublicensee. In this respect, failure from Sublicensee to agree to such notification and communication of the sublicense terms and agreement to INSERM-TRANSFERT shall not give rise to any claim from INSERM-TRANSFERT and/or

royalty-bearing license, with the right to grant sublicenses (“Sublicense(s)”), in the Territory under the Patents and Know-How to develop, make, have made, use and sell or otherwise distribute Products within the Field.

“5.1 Milestone Payments. 
 In partial consideration of the rights and license granted by INSERM-TRANSFERT to LICENSEE under this Agreement, LICENSEE agrees to make the following payments to INSERM-TRANSFERT upon the completion by

	  	 	[***	] 
		
	 [***]
	  	 	[***	]

LICENSEE’s or its Affiliates’ grant to a contract manufacturing organization of Product commercial manufacturing rights. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sublicensing fee shall be paid by LICENSEE only one time for each of
LICENSEE’s commercial partners regardless of the number of Sublicenses necessary for LICENSEE’s relationship with such commercial partner (e.g., LICENSEE shall only pay one sublicensing fee in connection with granting a Sublicense to a
commercial partner and a Sublicense to a contract manufacturing organization to manufacture Products for such commercial partner).” 
 8. Section 9.5. Section 9.5 of the License Agreement is hereby deleted and shall be of no further force and effect.

Clinical Data, Patents or Know-How made by LICENSEE prior to the effective date of such early termination. By way of example, LICENSEE shall not be required to remove any Clinical Data incorporated by LICENSEE into regulatory submissions made prior
to the effective date of termination; or 

  

	 	(ii)	partially terminate the License Agreement (as amended under this Amendment No 2) (“Partial Termination”). “Partial Termination” means

of LICENSEE to (a) use Clinical Data transferred to LICENSEE prior to the effective date of such Partial Termination in accordance with the LICENSEE Purpose and Summary Clinical Data in accordance with Section 1.1(b) and to use Patents and
Know-How transferred to LICENSEE prior to the effective date of such Partial Termination, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the License Agreement (as amended by this Amendment No 2) and (b) conduct source document verification

under this Agreement), without prior written authorization by INSERM and the Investigator. Absent any answer or objection of INSERM and/or Investigator within sixty (60) days of submission of an intended publication or presentation by LICENSEE
to INSERM and Investigator, INSERM and Investigator shall be deemed to have agreed to such publication or presentation. 
 ARTICLE 11 -
11.8. The following general terms will apply to this Amendment No 2: 
 Subject to the following paragraph, this Amendment No
2 shall be deemed executed and enter into effect on the latest date of signature by either of the Parties (the “Signature Date”). 
 Notwithstanding the above, the transfer to LICENSEE of the Clinical Data and use by LICENSEE of the Clinical Data shall only intervene and Article 11.2(i) is only applicable after the date the latest of
the following conditions precedent has been completed (the “Clinical Data Transfer Effective Date”): 
  

	 	(a)	Agreement between INSERM and LICENSEE on the terms of an international data transfer agreement (the “International Data Transfer Agreement”), which
shall contain terms similar to that of the Standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data from the Community to third parties as defined in the Commission decision 2004/915/EC, 


 

	 	(b)	The prior authorization of the relevant regulatory authorities for the transfer of the Clinical Data to LICENSEE and use for the LICENSEE Purpose on the basis of the
draft of International Data Transfer Agreement which INSERM and LICENSEE shall have agreed upon beforehand. The Parties agree to modify the negotiated draft of the International Data Transfer Agreement and, if applicable, the provisions of this
Amendment No 2 which were incorporated in the International Data Transfer Agreement, as reasonably appropriate, so as to comply with the decision and potential requirements for amendments of the relevant regulatory authorities, and


  

	 	(c)	The execution of the International Data Transfer Agreement and, if applicable of an amendment to the present Amendment No 2 as provided under paragraph (b) above,
and 

  

	 	(d)	INSERM obtaining the approval of the Informed Consent Forms containing the transfer authorization language described in paragraphs 11.3 and 11.5 above by the competent
regulatory authority and EC, and execution of at least one Informed Consent Form by a Trial Subject (or his/her legal representative), and 

  

	 	(e)	INSERM obtaining the approval of the competent regulatory authorities, especially on the Clinical Protocol. 


Should one or several of the above conditions precedent fail to be completed within twelve (12) months from the Signature Date at the latest, then
this Amendment No 2 shall be immediately terminated, without INSERM and/or INSERM TRANSFERT and/or Investigator being liable for any damages or other kind of compensation. For clarity, in such event, no Clinical Data access fees shall be due to
INSERM and/or INSERM TRANSFERT from LICENSEE under Section 5.1.2. 
 It is specified that in the case not all four (4) Trial Subjects
(or their legal representatives), but at least one Trial Subject (or his/her legal representative), execute the Informed Consent Form, the Clinical Data access fees provided under Section 5.1.2 shall be prorated based on the number of Trial
Subjects having executed the Informed Consent Form.

 This Amendment No 2 shall be effective for the term of the License Agreement, it being however specified
that, other than as expressly stated below, neither INSERM nor INSERM-TRANSFERT nor Investigator shall be liable in case of (i) completion, abandonment or termination of the INSERM Trial, whether decided by INSERM or resulting from the fact
that INSERM is no more authorised by the relevant French authority to perform the INSERM Trial (and notably to perform the Gap Period and/or the Follow-Up Period) or if the performance of the INSERM Trial is suspended by the said authority or
(ii) in case one or several Trial Subjects later withdraw(s) its (their) consent(s). 
 In the case of the foregoing (i) or (ii), the
terms of Amendment No 2 governing the transfer and use of the Clinical Data shall only apply to Clinical Data collected until the INSERM Trial is terminated or the consent(s) is withdrawn and (a) any future payments due from LICENSEE pursuant
to subsection 5.1.2 of Article 5 for access to Clinical Data shall be prorated based on the amount of Clinical Data received by LICENSEE, and (b) the rights and obligations of LICENSEE under this Amendment No 2 to use Clinical Data already
received shall continue, unless applicable law or relevant regulatory authorities forbid any use of already collected Clinical Data. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Clinical Data from a Trial Subject has already been transferred to
LICENSEE and used for the LICENSEE Purpose, LICENSEE shall not have to remove Clinical Data from any regulatory filings. 
 For clarity, to the
extent this Agreement imposes restrictions on use and disclosure of Clinical Data, such restrictions shall not apply to Clinical Data that is Published Clinical Data. 
 The use and access by LICENSEE to the Clinical Data that is not Published Clinical Data shall automatically terminate at the earliest of the following two dates: 

 

	 	•	 	 At the expiry of the Clinical Data Term; or 


  

	 	•	 	 in case of early termination as provided under Article 2.2. 


 Except as specifically set forth in this Amendment No 2, all provisions of the License Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 
 In witness whereof, the Parties have executed this Amendment No 2 in English by their respective duly authorized representatives on the date indicated below in two (2) copies, one (1) for each
Party.
