  Section 6.04Royalties.


  (a)Subject to the remainder of this Section 6.04 and Section 6.05, Licensee shall pay to Sutro a royalty on the Annual Net Sales of the Product in the Territory made by Licensee, its Affiliates, or its Sublicensees at the following rates:

  For avoidance of doubt, each royalty rate set forth in the table above shall apply only to that portion of the Annual Net Sales in the Territory during a given Calendar Year that falls within the indicated range.

  (b)Sales between Licensee, its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall not be subject to royalties hereunder. Royalties shall be calculated on Licensee’s, its Affiliates’ and Sublicensees’ (re)sale of the Product to a Third Party.


  (c)Royalty Term. The royalty payments payable under this Section 6.04 shall be payable on [*] until the later of, on [*]: (i) the [*]; or (ii) [*] after the First Commercial Sale of the Product in such Region (the “Royalty Term”).  


  (d)Third Party Blocking Patents. 


  (i)Process. In the event either Party becomes aware of one or more Patents Controlled by a Third Party that such Party considers necessary to Develop, Manufacture or Commercialize the Product in the Field in the Territory (each a “Third Party Blocking Patent”), such Party will provide notice thereof to the other Party (“Blocking Patent Notice”), and Sutro will have the first right to obtain a license to the applicable Third Party Blocking Patent(s) from such Third Party. In the event Sutro or any of its Affiliates obtains a license to such Third Party Blocking Patent(s) such that it Controls such Third Party Blocking Patents, such Third Party Blocking Patent(s) will be automatically included in the Sutro Patents, and subject to the Third Party Compensation Reduction (as defined in Section 6.04(d)(ii)), Licensee will be responsible for paying the amounts due under such license in consideration for the practice of such Third Party Blocking Patents under this Agreement, whether by Licensee, its Affiliates or their respective Sublicensees.


  (ii)Third Party Compensation. If Licensee determines that it is necessary to obtain a license to one or more Third Party Blocking Patent(s) from any Third Party and Sutro does not obtain such license within [*] of the date of receipt of the Blocking Patent Notice, Licensee will have the right to obtain a license to such Third Party Blocking Patent(s) from such Third Party. If Licensee is required to pay to Third Party a royalty or other monetary compensation in consideration for the grant of such license or maintenance of the right to Commercialize the Product under such Third Party Blocking Patent(s) (“Third Party Compensation”), then, provided that (i) Sutro has consented in writing to the terms (including, without limitation, the payment terms) of such Third Party license, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; or (ii) subject to the result of (x) settlement procedures or litigation under Section 8.04(c) or (y) other settlements, for the period during which Licensee owes royalties to Sutro hereunder, then the  royalties that would otherwise be payable on Net Sales in the Territory under Section 6.04(a) shall be reduced by an amount of [*] of all Third Party Compensation payable by or on behalf of Licensee to such Third Party during the same period, provided that in no event shall such royalties be reduced by more than [*] of the amounts otherwise payable to Sutro under Section 6.04(a) (such reduction, the “Third Party Compensation Reduction”). 


  (e)Biosimilar Competition. If in a particular Calendar Quarter during the Royalty Term, one or more Third Parties is or are selling a Biosimilar Product in any Region within the Territory and the Net Sales of the Product in such Region during such Calendar Quarter (or any Calendar Quarter thereafter) are less than [*] of the average [*] of the Product  in such Region 


  	31	

   

  

  over the [*] immediately prior to the Calendar Quarter during which the first such Biosimilar Product was sold in such Region  “Biosimilar Reduction Trigger”), then in such case the royalties payable on the Net Sales of the Product in such Region commencing with such Calendar Quarter in which the Biosimilar Reduction Trigger occurred and thereafter for each Calendar Quarter during the Royalty Term in which such Biosimilar Product is sold in such Region, shall be reduced by [*] of the amounts otherwise payable to Sutro under Section 6.04(a).


  (f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Agreement, in no event shall the royalties payable to Sutro hereunder by reduced by more than [*] of the amounts set forth in Section 6.04(a).


  Section 6.05Sales by Sublicensees. In the event that Licensee grants sublicenses to one or more Sublicensees to sell Product to the extent permitted hereunder, such sublicenses shall include without limitation an obligation for the Sublicensee to account for and report its Net Sales of such Product on the same basis as if such sales were Net Sales by Licensee, and Licensee shall pay royalties and sales milestones to Sutro as if the Net Sales of the Sublicensee were Net Sales of Licensee.


  Section 6.06Royalty Payments and Reports. The royalties payable under Section 6.04 shall be calculated quarterly as of the last day of March, June, September and December respectively for the Calendar Quarter ending on that date. Licensee shall deliver to Sutro a report summarizing the Net Sales of Product during each Calendar Quarter following the First Commercial Sale of Product in the Territory, which shall include the number of units of Product sold by Licensee, its Affiliates and its or their Sublicensees in each Region, the gross sales of Product on a Region-by-Region and Product-by-Product 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. A draft of such report shall be provided within [*] following the end of each Calendar Quarter for which royalties are due from Licensee to allow Sutro to estimate its royalty payments from Licensee. A final report shall be delivered within [*] following the end of each Calendar Quarter. Any royalty payable to Sutro or its designee under this Agreement shall be paid with [*] after the end of each Calendar Quarter. The report for the fourth Calendar Quarter shall summarize the Annual Net Sales of Product in such given Calendar Year and shall calculate all the royalties payable to Sutro or its designee for such given Calendar Year pursuant to Section 6.04(a). The royalties to be paid for the fourth Calendar Quarter under this Section 6.06 shall be the difference between the royalties payable and the royalties already paid for such given Calendar Year. If, however, after all the royalty payment due for a given Calendar Year is paid to Sutro, but the Licensee discovers that the Annual Net Sales number reported in the fourth Calendar Quarter report needs to be adjusted in accordance with the Licensee’s audited annual report for such Calendar Year (provided that, for clarity, such report is consistent with the definition of Net Sales under Section 1.62), then Licensee may, subject to prior review and comments by Sutro, adjust and reconcile any such calculation of Annual Net Sales and/or any such underpayment or overpayment of royalty payments due and report such adjustment to Sutro within [*] after the Licensee’s audited annual report is publicly disclosed. Any adjustment and reconciliation of royalty payment for the previous Calendar Year shall be reflected in royalty payment due for the Calendar Quarter in which such adjustment and reconciliation is reported to Sutro, and such adjustment and reconciliation (in the case of an underpayment) shall not be considered a late payment under Section 6.12.     


  	32	

   

  

  Section 6.07Taxes.


  (a)The royalties, milestones and other amounts payable by Licensee to Sutro pursuant to this Agreement (“Payments”), shall not be reduced on account of Taxes unless required by Applicable Laws. Sutro shall pay [*] Withholding Income Tax up to and including [*]. Licensee shall pay the Withholding Income Tax exceeding [*] up to and including [*]. Any increase beyond [*] shall be paid for [*]. In the event Licensee pays any Withholding Income Tax under the preceding sentences, Licensee shall increase the Payments made so that Sutro receives the same amount after tax (taking into account any Taxes on such increased payments) as it would have received had such Withholding Income Taxes not been incurred.  Licensee is permitted to reduce the amount of Payments to Sutro equal to the amount of the Withholding Income Tax paid by [*]. To the extent any Payments made by Licensee pursuant to this Agreement become subject to Withholding Income Tax under Applicable Laws, Licensee shall deduct and withhold the amount of such Taxes from the Payments due Sutro, but only to the extent that Sutro is required to pay such Taxes under this Agreement. Licensee shall remit the amounts of Withholding Income Tax, whether paid by Sutro or Licensee, to the proper governmental authorities in a timely manner and transmit to Sutro an official tax certificate or other evidence of payment of such tax obligations from the relevant governmental authorities. All taxes or duties in connection with payments made by Licensee for Indirect Taxes, including any value added or similar tax or local tax or surcharge on value added taxes and any import duty or fees, shall be paid by Licensee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Sutro is entitled (whether under any applicable tax treaty or otherwise under Applicable Laws) to a reduction in the rate of, or the elimination of, Withholding Income Tax, it may deliver to Licensee or the appropriate governmental authority (with the assistance of Licensee to the extent that this is reasonably required and is expressly requested in writing), the prescribed forms necessary to reduce or eliminate the applicable rate of Withholding Income Tax, and Licensee shall apply the reduced rate of withholding, or dispense with withholding, as applicable. Licensee agrees to take all other reasonable and lawful efforts to minimize such Withholding Income Tax, and Licensee shall cooperate with Sutro as reasonably requested in any claim for refund or application to any Tax Authority. If Licensee intends to withhold income Tax from any Payments, Licensee shall inform Sutro reasonably in advance of making such Payments to permit Sutro an opportunity to provide any forms or information or obtain any Tax Authority approval as may be available to reduce or eliminate such withholding.


  (b)Tax Gross-up. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if (i) Licensee redomiciles or assigns its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) as a result of such redomiciliation or assignment, Licensee (or its assignee) is required by Applicable Law to withhold taxes from or in respect of any amount payable under this Agreement, and (iii) such withholding taxes (which would include Withholding Income Tax) exceed the amount of withholding taxes that would have been applicable but for such redomiciliation or assignment, then any such amount payable to Sutro pursuant to this Agreement shall be increased to take into account such withholding taxes as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholdings (including withholdings on the additional amounts payable), as the case may be, Sutro receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such increased withholding been made and no such Indirect Taxes had been imposed. The obligation to pay additional amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not apply, however, to the extent such increased withholding tax would not have been imposed but for the assignment by Sutro of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the redomiciliation of Sutro outside of the United States, to the extent such 


  	33	

   

  

  assignment or redomiciliation occurs after the redomiciliation or assignment by Licensee described in the first sentence of this Section 6.07(b). Solely for purposes of this Section 6.07(b), a Party’s “domicile” shall include its jurisdiction of incorporation or tax residence and a “redomiciliation” shall include a reincorporation or other action resulting in a change in tax residence of the applicable Party or its assignee.


  (c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.07 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the following shall apply with respect to Indirect Taxes. If any Indirect Taxes imposed by relevant Regulatory Authorities in the Territory are chargeable in respect of any Payments, Licensee shall be responsible for such Indirect Taxes and shall not reduce any Payments due Sutro hereunder as a result of such Indirect Taxes. The sum of the net amount received by Sutro and the Withholding Income Tax levied by China Tax Authority discussed in Section 6.07(a) above for each payment shall not be less than the amount of the Upfront and Milestone Payments set forth in Section 6.01, Section 6.02 and Section 6.03. The Parties shall issue invoices for all goods and services supplied under this Agreement consistent with Indirect Tax requirements, and to the extent any invoice is not initially issued in an appropriate form, Licensee shall promptly inform Sutro and shall cooperate with Sutro to provide such information or assistance as may be necessary to enable the issuance of such invoice consistent with Indirect Tax requirements.


  Section 6.08Payments or Reports by Affiliates. Any Payment required under any provision of this Agreement to be made to Sutro or any report required to be made by Licensee shall be made by an Affiliate of Licensee if such Affiliate is designated by Licensee as the appropriate payer or reporting entity.


  Section 6.09Mode of Payment. All payments set forth in this Article 6 shall be remitted by wire transfer to the bank account of Sutro as designated in writing to Licensee.


  Section 6.10Payment Currency. All amounts payable and calculations under this Agreement shall be in U.S. Dollars. As applicable, Net Sales and any adjustments to payments under this Agreement shall be translated into United States dollars using the average of the applicable daily foreign exchange rates published in The Wall Street Journal (or any other qualified source that is acceptable to both Parties) for the last day of each month of the Calendar Quarter in which such Net Sales occurred. 


  Section 6.11Imports. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that none of the milestones or royalties payable under this Agreement are related to the license (or right) to import or any import of the Product. Licensee shall be responsible for any import clearance, including payment of any import duties and similar charges, in connection with the Product transferred to Licensee under this Agreement. The Parties shall co- operate in accordance with Applicable Laws to ensure where permissible that no import duties are paid on imported materials. Where import duties are payable, the Parties shall co-operate to ensure that the Party responsible for shipping values the materials in accordance with Applicable Laws and minimizes where permissible any such duties and any related import taxes that are not reclaimable from the relevant authorities.


  	34	

   

  

  Section 6.12Late Payments. Any payments due under this Agreement shall be due on such date as specified in this Agreement and, in the event such date is not a Business Day, then the next succeeding Business Day. In the event that any payment due under this Agreement is not made when due, the amount due shall accrue interest beginning on the [*] following the date on which such payment was due, calculated at the annual rate equal to the prime interest rate reported in the Wall Street Journal for the due date plus [*], calculated from the due date until paid in full. Each payment made after the due date shall be accompanied by all interest so accrued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall have recourse to any other remedy available at law or in equity with respect to any delinquent payment, subject to the terms of this Agreement.


  Article 7

  Section 7.01Confidentiality. The Parties agree that the Party receiving Confidential Information disclosed by or on behalf of the other Party pursuant to this Agreement is entitled to disclose Confidential Information to its Affiliates, Sublicensees (in the case of Licensee), licensees (in the case of Sutro), contractors, their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, counsels, accountants,  other advisors and consultants, only for the purpose of the Agreement on a need-to-know basis, and shall cause the aforesaid persons to keep confidential and not publish or otherwise disclose or use for any purpose other than to conduct its activities under this Agreement or otherwise as expressly authorized by this Agreement any Confidential Information furnished to it by or on behalf of the other Party pursuant to this Agreement.


  Section 7.02Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations set forth in Section 7.01 shall not apply in respect of Confidential Information to the extent that it can be established by the receiving Party that such Confidential Information:

  (e)was disclosed to the receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, by a Third Party who had no obligation to the disclosing Party not to disclose such information to others.


  Section 7.03Receipt of Third Party Information. Neither Party shall knowingly receive documents relating to the Product under an obligation of confidentiality to Third Parties that requires the Party to withhold access to the other Party without such Party’s written consent.

Once any such abstract or manuscript is accepted for publication, Licensee will provide Sutro with a copy of the final version of the manuscript or abstract.


  Article 8
OWNERSHIP OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PATENT RIGHTS


  Section 8.01Ownership. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Sutro shall retain sole and exclusive Control of the Sutro Technology, including Sutro Know-How, Sutro Patents, and Sutro Trademarks. Except as expressly provided herein, no right, title, or interest is granted by Sutro to Licensee in, to, or under any Sutro Technology, and, except as expressly provided herein, Licensee shall have no right to assign to any Third Party any right or interest received under Sutro Technology under the terms of this Agreement. Licensee shall retain sole and exclusive Control of any Licensee Technology.


  Section 8.02License of Product-related IPR. Licensee hereby grants to Sutro a royalty-free, fully paid-up, perpetual, non-terminable, sublicenseable (through multiple tiers) license to use any Product-related IPR that Licensee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees may create or acquire throughout the Term of this Agreement, which license shall be non-exclusive in the Territory and exclusive (including as to Licensee and its Affiliates) outside of the Territory; provided, however, that the license granted to Sutro by Licensee under this Section 8.02 in the Territory is limited to the use of Product-related IPR  by Sutro in conducting clinical or manufacturing activities in the Territory for the purpose of Development and Commercialization of the Product outside the Territory. Licensee shall be responsible for ensuring its employees, Affiliates, and Sublicensees are obligated to license and execute appropriate documents consistent with Licensee’s obligations under this Section 8.02.  


  Section 8.03Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents.


  (a)Sutro shall be primarily responsible for and control the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of the Sutro Patents in the Territory. Sutro shall, at its own cost, file, 


  	37	

   

  

  prosecute, and maintain all Sutro Patents in the Territory after taking into account Licensee’s reasonable interests and requests after reasonable consultation with Licensee. Sutro shall provide Licensee with advance copies of, and a reasonable opportunity to comment upon, proposed patent filings, related prosecution strategies and proposed correspondence with patent officials, all to the extent in the Territory and relating to any Sutro Patents, and will consider comments received from Licensee with respect to such proposed filings, strategies and correspondence in the Territory in good faith. Sutro agrees to discuss in good faith any changes reasonably requested by Licensee to such filings, strategies and correspondence in the Territory upon their being received. As relevant to the activities and interests of Licensee under this Agreement, Sutro shall promptly inform Licensee in writing of any change in the status of the Sutro Patents in the Territory.


  (b)If, during the Term, Sutro decides that it is no longer interested in the prosecution or maintenance of a particular Sutro Patent in the Territory, then, unless Sutro has a strategic rationale for ceasing such prosecution or maintenance, it will provide written notice to Licensee of such decision at least [*] prior to the date that such Sutro Patent will become abandoned.  Licensee may, upon written notice to Sutro, cause Sutro not to cease the prosecution or maintenance of any such Sutro Patent with respect to which Sutro does not have a strategic rationale for the abandonment thereof.  


  Section 8.04Enforcement Rights.


  (a)Infringement by Third Parties in the Territory. Sutro shall have the initial right, but not the obligation, at its expense and in its own name or in the name of any of its Affiliates, to initiate, maintain, and control any legal action on account of any infringement within the Territory of any Sutro Patent or Sutro Trademark by a Third Party, by counsel of its own choice. Sutro shall promptly notify Licensee in writing its intention to initiate legal action against a Third Party for such infringement within the Territory. If Sutro exercises its first right, Licensee will, at Sutro’s expense, provide Sutro cooperation as reasonably necessary, including being named as a party. With respect to actions, proceedings or settlements in the Territory, Licensee shall have the right, in Licensee’s sole discretion and at Licensee’s expense, to join or otherwise participate in such legal action in the Territory with legal counsel selected by Licensee. If Sutro does not intend to exercise its first right, then Sutro shall so notify Licensee in writing within [*] of receiving notice or otherwise becoming aware that the applicable infringement exists. Licensee will thereafter have the right, but not the obligation, at its expense and in its own name or in the name of any of its Affiliates, to initiate, maintain, and control such legal action on Sutro’s behalf by counsel of its choice. In the event that Licensee initiates and thereafter maintains such legal action against a Third Party for infringement of a Sutro Patent or Sutro Trademark in the Territory, Sutro, at Licensee’s expense, will provide Licensee cooperation as reasonably necessary, including agreeing to be named as a party to such legal action.


  (b)The Party first having Knowledge that any Sutro Technology is infringed, or misappropriated by a Third Party, or suspected of being infringed or misappropriated by a Third Party in the Territory shall promptly notify the other Party thereof in writing. Such notice shall set forth the facts of that infringement, misappropriation, or suspected infringement or misappropriation in reasonable detail.


  	38	

   

  

  (c)Allocation of Expenses and Recoveries. Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties in this Agreement or otherwise in writing, the Party controlling the legal action under Section 8.04 (a) shall be solely responsible for any expenses incurred by such Party as a result of such action. If the Parties are recovered monetary damages in such action, such amounts shall be allocated first to the reimbursement of any expenses incurred by the Parties in such action, and any remaining amounts shall be [*] between the Parties, provided that if Licensee is the enforcing Party, then such remaining amounts will be treated as Net Sales in the period in which payment of such recovery was received for purposes of the royalty obligations under Section 6.04. If such recovery is insufficient to reimburse the expenses of the Parties, then each Party shall receive a pro rata portion of the recovery based on each Party’s expenses incurred in such action. 


  (d)Oppositions by Parties. If either Party desires to bring an opposition, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference, reexamination, or other attack upon the validity, title, or enforceability of any Patents Controlled by a Third Party in the Territory that claim the Development or Commercialization or other exploitation of the Product, such Party shall so notify the other Party in writing, and the Parties shall promptly confer to discuss whether to bring such action or the manner in which to settle such action; provided, if the Parties cannot reach agreement on whether to bring such action within [*] of such written notice, then such issue shall be subject to the dispute resolution procedures of Article 13. The Party not bringing an action under this Section 8.04(d) shall be entitled to separate representation in such proceeding by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, and shall otherwise cooperate fully with the Party bringing such action at the other Party’s expense.


   

  Section 8.05Third Party Claims Against Product in the Territory. 


  (a)If a Third Party asserts that a Patent or other right owned or controlled by it is infringed by the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Product in the Territory, the Party first having notice of the claim or assertion shall promptly notify the other Party, and the Parties shall promptly confer to consider the claim or assertion and the appropriate course of action. Unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, each Party shall have the right to defend itself against a suit that names it as a defendant (the "Defending Party"), provided that (i) neither Party shall enter into any settlement of any claim described in this Section 8.05(a) or make any admissions or assert any positions in such defense proceeding in a manner that could  reasonably be expected to adversely affect the rights or interests of the other Party, including with respect to the Product or the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of the Product within the other Party's territory, without the prior written consent of the other Party, and (ii) Licensee may not enforce any Sutro Patent in connection with such suit without Sutro’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In any event, the other Party shall reasonably assist the Defending Party and cooperate in any such litigation at the Defending Party's reasonable request and expense.  


  If as a result of settlement procedures or litigation under this Section 8.05(a), Licensee is required to pay the Third Party a royalty or make any payment of any kind for the right to sell the Product in the Territory, such payments shall be considered Third Party Compensation under Section 

  	39	

   

  

  6.04(d) and Licensee may deduct such Third Party Compensation from its royalty payment obligations to Sutro in accordance with Section 6.04(d).

  (b)Oppositions by Third Parties. If any Sutro Patent in the Territory becomes the subject of any proceeding commenced by a Third Party in connection with an opposition, reexamination request, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, third party observation interference, or other attack upon the validity, title, or enforceability thereof in the Territory, then Sutro shall control such defense, at its sole cost, provided that, Licensee shall have the right to participate in the proceeding to the extent permissible under law, and to be represented by its own counsel in such proceeding, at its sole cost. Licensee shall reasonably cooperate with Sutro in such proceeding. Any recoveries obtained in such action shall be shared, as set forth in Section 8.04(c).


  (c)Protective Order. If, in any action brought pursuant to Section 8.04 and this Section 8.05 any information is the subject of a protective order that may be reviewed by counsel only, the Parties will endeavor to structure such protective order so as to enable their respective internal counsel to be included as permitted reviewers of such information.

  (a)Each Party shall keep or cause to be kept accurate records of account in accordance with P.R.C GAAP, in the case of Licensee, and in accordance with U.S. GAAP, in the case of Sutro, showing information that is necessary for the accurate determination of (in the case of Licensee) the royalties and other payments due under Article 6, or any other payment due hereunder and (b) (in the case of Sutro) the applicable Cost of Goods,. Such records or books of account shall be kept until the [*] in which the relevant Product is sold (in the case of royalty or other payments due under Section 6.04) or in the period for which any other payment hereunder is required to be made. For clarity, Licensee shall cause its Affiliates to keep, and shall require pursuant to a written agreement that any Sublicensee or subcontractor performing activities hereunder keep accurate records or books of account in a manner that will permit such Party to comply with its obligations under the foregoing sentence.


  (b)Upon the written request of the other Party, each Party shall permit an internationally-recognized, certified public accounting firm acceptable to both Parties to inspect during regular business hours and no more than once a year and once in any given Calendar Year, and going back no more than [*] preceding the current Calendar Year, all or any part of the audited Party’s records and books necessary to check the accuracy of any Cost of Goods calculated or payments made or required to be made hereunder. The accounting firm shall enter into appropriate obligations with the audited Party to treat all information it receives during its inspection in confidence. The accounting firm shall disclose to Sutro and Licensee only whether Cost of Goods calculated or the payments made are correct and details concerning any discrepancies, but no other information shall be disclosed to the Party requesting the inspection. The charges of the accounting firm shall be paid by the Party requesting the inspection, except that if the Cost of Goods being audited have been overcalculated, or the payments being audited have been underpaid or the costs being reimbursed have been overstated, in each case by more than [*], the charges will be paid by the Party whose records and books are being inspected. If the final result of the audit reveals an undisputed underpayment or overpayment, (i) Licensee shall pay to Sutro any underpayment discovered by such audit within [*] after the accounting firm’s report,  and the part of underpayment that is within [*] of the original payment amount due shall not be considered a late payment under Section 6.12, (ii) in the case of an overpayment by Licensee, then  Licensee may take a credit for such overpayment against any future payments due to Sutro, or if no future payments are due to Sutro then Sutro shall pay to Licensee any overpayment discovered by such audit within [*] after the accounting firm’s report. Any failure by a Party to exercise its rights under this Section 10.01 with respect to a Calendar Year within the [*] period allotted therefor shall constitute a waiver by such Party of its right to later object to any payments made by the other Party under this Agreement during such Calendar Year. 


  Section 10.02Publicity Review. Subject to the further provisions of this Section 10.02, no Party shall originate any written publicity, news release, or other announcement relating to this Agreement or to performance hereunder or the existence of an arrangement between the Parties (collectively, “Written Disclosure”), without the prior prompt review of a copy of the materials proposed to be disclosed and written approval of the other Party. This Section 10.02, shall not prohibit the disclosure under Section 7.04(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.02, each Party may make any public Written Disclosure it believes in good faith based upon the advice of counsel is required under the Securities Laws of the United States, Hong Kong 


  	45

To the extent that Licensee reasonably requests that any information in the materials proposed to be disclosed be deleted, Sutro shall use reasonable efforts to request confidential treatment of such information pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933 or Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as applicable (or any other applicable regulation relating to the confidential treatment of information) so that any information that Licensee reasonably requests to be deleted, to the extent permitted by the applicable government agency, are omitted from such materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may issue an individual press release regarding the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, subject to the other Party’s right to review and comment such press release prior to publication.

  Section 10.03Use of Names. Neither Party shall use the name, insignia, symbol, trademark, trade name or logotype of the other Party or its Affiliates in relation to this transaction or otherwise in any public announcement, press release, or other public document without the prior written consent of such other Party; provided, however, that either Party may use the name of the other Party in any document required to be filed with any government authority, including without limitation the FDA and the Securities and Exchange Commission, or foreign equivalent bodies, or otherwise as may be required by Applicable Law, provided that such disclosure shall be governed by Section 7.04. Further, the restrictions imposed on each Party under this Section 10.03 are not intended, and shall not be construed, to prohibit a Party from identifying the other Party in its internal business communications, provided that any Confidential Information in such communications remains subject to Article 7.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event there is a good faith dispute as to whether a material breach exists, the 


  	46	

   

  

  dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 13.02, in which case if (a) the Breaching Party is determined in accordance with Section 13.02 to be in material breach of one (1) or more of its obligations under this Agreement, and (b) the Breaching Party fails to complete the actions specified by such adverse ruling to cure such material breach in accordance with any procedures or timeframes established by the tribunal, then the Non-Breaching Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Breaching Party.  . During the pendency of such a dispute, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in effect and the Parties shall continue to perform all of their respective obligations hereunder.


  (b)Termination for Challenge of Sutro Patents. Prior to its expiration, Sutro may terminate this Agreement in its entirety by written notice to Licensee if (i) Licensee or its Affiliates challenges the validity, scope or enforceability of or otherwise opposes any Sutro Patent inside or outside the Territory and (ii) Licensee does not cause such challenge to be withdrawn within [*] after having received written notice thereof from Sutro requesting such challenge to be withdrawn. If a Sublicensee challenges the validity, scope, or enforceability of or otherwise opposes any Sutro Patent inside or outside of the Territory, then Licensee shall, upon written notice from Sutro, terminate such sublicense or cause the Sublicensee to withdraw such challenge within [*]. Licensee shall include provisions in all agreements under which a Sublicensee obtains a sublicense under any Sutro Patent providing that, if the Sublicensee challenges the validity, scope or enforceability of or otherwise opposes any Sutro Patent inside or outside the Territory, Licensee may terminate such sublicense. 


  (c)Termination for Insolvency. A Party may terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon written notice to the other Party if at any time during the Term, the other Party (the “Debtor”) (i) becomes insolvent, (ii) has a case commenced by or against it under the Bankruptcy Code, (iii) files for or is subject to the institution of bankruptcy, liquidation or receivership proceedings, (iv) assigns all or a substantial portion of its assets for the benefit of creditors, (v) has a receiver or custodian appointed for the Debtor’s business, or (vi) has a substantial part of its business being subject to attachment or similar process; provided, however, that in the event of any involuntary case under the Bankruptcy Code, the first Party shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.02(c) if the case is dismissed within [*] after the commencement thereof.


  (d)Termination for Convenience. Prior to its expiration, this Agreement may be terminated in its entirety at any time by Licensee effective upon ninety (90) days’ (or such longer period as Licensee may elect at its sole discretion) prior written notice to Sutro.


  (e)Termination for Safety/Efficacy Issue. In the event that Licensee believes in good faith a Safety/Efficacy Issue exists, as a result of which a company in the biopharmaceutical industry in the Territory would reasonably be expected to elect not to continue to fund or conduct the development or commercialization of the Product,  Licensee may terminate this Agreement in its entirety or in part with respect to the affected Product upon [*] (or such longer period as Licensee may elect at its sole discretion) prior written notice to Sutro.


  Section 11.03Consequences of a Licensee Triggered Termination. In the event (a) Sutro terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.02(a) for Licensee’s material breach; (b) Sutro terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.02(b) for patent challenge by Licensee; 


  	47	

   

  

  (c) Sutro terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.02(c) for Licensee’s insolvency; or (d) Licensee terminates this Agreement pursuant to Sections 11.02(d), or 11.02(e) (a termination as per (a) through (e) being a “Licensee Triggered Termination”), both Sutro and Licensee shall, subject to Section 11.03(a), continue to be obligated during the termination notice period (as applicable) to perform as far as reasonably practicable all of its obligations under this Agreement and any other agreements concluded between the Parties in accordance with this Agreement. In addition, as a result of a Licensee Triggered Termination the following shall apply (without prejudice to the terminating party’s other rights and remedies at law or in equity):


  (a)All licenses and rights to the Sutro Technology granted to Licensee (together with all sublicenses granted by Licensee) hereunder shall terminate automatically without further action required on the part of Sutro as of the effective date of such termination, except to the extent and for so long as is necessary to permit Licensee to finish work-in-progress, sell any inventory of Product that remains on hand as of the date of the termination and otherwise perform any responsibilities in connection with any then ongoing clinical trial or other activity that cannot be terminated as of such date under Applicable Laws, including GCP, it being agreed that all such activities and responsibilities shall be discontinued and ceased (unless otherwise agreed or required under Applicable Laws by transitioning such activities and responsibilities to Sutro) as promptly as possible, subject to Applicable Laws, including GCP. At Sutro’s request, Licensee and Sutro shall reasonably cooperate to transfer the Development and Commercialization activities pertaining to  the Product in the Territory to Sutro in an orderly fashion. The license granted under Section 8.02 shall automatically be expanded to become exclusive also within the Territory (including as to Licensee and its Affiliates).


  (b)Each Party shall return or destroy all tangible materials in its possession or control containing or comprising the other Party’s Confidential Information to which such first Party does not retain rights hereunder (except one copy thereof, which may be retained by the returning Party solely for legal archive purposes). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the returning Party will not be required to destroy electronic files containing such Confidential Information that are made in the ordinary course of its business information back-up procedures pursuant to its electronic record retention and destruction practices that apply to its own general electronic files and information.


  (c)Licensee shall, in accordance with Applicable Laws, as promptly as reasonably practical transfer to Sutro all of Licensee’s rights, title, and interests in and to  INDs, BLAs, Drug Approval Applications, and Regulatory Approvals (and any other permits or licenses necessary to Develop, Manufacture or Commercialize the Product in the Territory) with respect to the Product in the Territory, and shall take such other actions and execute such other instruments, assignments, and documents as may be necessary to effect the transfer of rights hereunder to Sutro. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Licensee (if it is the marketing authorization holder at such time) agrees to submit to the NMPA and other Regulatory Authorities in jurisdictions in which any regulatory filings have been made with respect to the Product, within [*] after the effective date of such termination, a letter (with copy to Sutro) notifying the NMPA and such other Regulatory Authorities of the transfer of any regulatory filings for the Product in such jurisdictions from Licensee to Sutro. Additionally, (i) Licensee will provide Sutro with copies of regulatory filings necessary to practice the rights granted to it under this Section 11.03(c) and (ii) Sutro will be allowed to use the Licensee Development Data also in the Territory.


  	48	

   

  

  (d)Upon Sutro’s request, Licensee will assign (or cause its Affiliates to assign) to Sutro, at Sutro’s request, all of Licensee’s (or its Affiliates’) rights and obligations under agreements with Third Parties with respect to (i) the conduct of clinical trials for the Product, including Agreements with CROs, clinical sites and investigators that relate to clinical trials in support of Regulatory Approvals in the Territory, and (ii) any other Third Party agreements involving the Development or Commercialization of the Product, unless in each of (i) or (ii), such agreement is not permitted to be assigned pursuant to its terms or relates to products other than the Product, in which case Licensee will cooperate with Sutro in all reasonable respects to transfer as promptly as reasonably practical to Sutro the benefit of such contract in another mutually acceptable manner and upon Sutro’s request facilitate discussions between Sutro and such Third Parties to assist Sutro in entering into a direct agreement with such Third Parties.


  (e)To the extent they are assignable and as requested by Sutro, Licensee shall execute any documents necessary to transfer to Sutro rights under any Third Party licenses obtained by Licensee pursuant to and during the course of the term of this Agreement for the purpose of Exploiting the Product, and Sutro shall thereafter be responsible for all costs, expenses and obligations associated with such Third Party licenses.


  (f)Except where expressly provided for otherwise in this Agreement, termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any liability, including without limitation any obligation to make payments hereunder, which accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination, nor preclude any Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement, nor prejudice any Party’s right to obtain performance of any obligation. In the event of such termination, this Section 11.03(f) shall survive in addition to others specified in this Agreement to survive in such event.


  (g)Licensee shall be entitled, during a period of [*] following the Licensee Triggered Termination to sell any inventory of Product that remains on hand as of the date of the termination, so long as Licensee pays to Sutro the royalties applicable to said subsequent sales in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.


  (h)Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Agreement, (i) Licensee shall not have any obligations to continue any Development or Commercialization with respect to particular doses of the Product if Licensee has terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.02(d) with reference to any material safety concerns regarding such doses, as determined by the JSC; and (ii) should Sutro elect to pursue any Development or Commercialization of Product following any such termination by Licensee, Sutro shall,  without prejudice to or limitation of any other or further obligations under this Agreement (including Section 12.01(b)),  indemnify Licensee for any Third Party Claims arising from Sutro’s Development or Commercialization after the effective date of such termination as set forth in Section 12.01(b).


  Section 11.04. Consequences of Termination by Licensee for Sutro’s Breach or Insolvency. If Licensee terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.02(a) as a result of a material breach by Sutro or Section 11.02(c) for an insolvency or other transaction described therein affecting Sutro, the terms and obligations under Section 11.03 shall apply as if such termination were a Licensee Triggered Termination, except that notwithstanding anything set forth to the contrary in Section 11.03: (i) Sutro shall be responsible for any and all reasonable costs and 


  	49	

   

  

  expenses associated with the discontinuation  of the Development and Commercialization activities by Licensee and  the transfer of such activities to Sutro pursuant to Section 11.03(a), including without limitation, costs and expenses of clinical trials incurred by Licensee’s after the termination date and reasonable costs and expenses associated with the winding down of ongoing clinical trials,  (ii) Sutro shall be responsible for any and all reasonable costs and expenses associated with the transfer of regulatory filings pursuant to Section 11.03(c), the assignment or transfer of Third Party agreements and licenses pursuant to Section 11.03(d) and Section 11.03(e). The foregoing shall be in addition and without prejudice to any other remedies that may be available to Licensee due to Sutro’s breach, including any money damages that may be awarded to Licensee in connection with its termination pursuant to Section 11.02(a).


  Section 11.05Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by a Party are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for the purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (to the extent applicable), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or equivalent provisions of applicable legislation in any other jurisdiction. The Parties agree that the Parties, as licensees of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of their rights and elections under the United States Bankruptcy Code, or equivalent provisions of applicable legislation in any other jurisdiction. The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against either Party under the Unites States Bankruptcy Code or equivalent provisions of applicable legislation in any other jurisdiction, the Party that is not a party to such proceeding shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which, if not already in the non-subject Party’s possession, shall be promptly delivered to it (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon the non-subject Party’s written request therefor, unless the Party subject to such proceeding elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, or (b) if not delivered under subsection (a) above, following the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of the Party subject to such proceeding upon written request therefor by the non-subject Party.


  Section 11.06Surviving Rights and Obligations. The rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement shall extend beyond the expiration or termination of the Agreement only to the extent expressly provided for herein, or to the extent that the survival of such rights or obligations are necessary to permit their complete fulfillment or discharge. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties have identified various rights and obligations which are understood to survive, as follows: Article 1 (to the extent applicable to surviving provisions), Article 6 (limited to Net Sales realized prior to, and payments due as of, the expiration or termination of this Agreement), Article 7 (for the time periods specified in Section 7.05),Section 8.01, Section 8.02, Section 8.04 (limited to proceedings commenced before expiration or termination of this Agreement),Article 10, Section 11.03, Section 11.04, Section 11.06, Section 11.07, Article 12, Article 13, and Article 14.

INDEMNIFICATION


  Section 12.01Indemnification.


  (a)Licensee hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Sutro, its Affiliates, and each of its and their respective employees, officers, directors and agents from and against any and all Losses incurred by them resulting from or arising out of or in connection with any suits, claims, actions or demands made or brought by a Sublicensee or other Third Party (collectively, “Third Party Claims”) against Sutro, its Affiliates or their respective employees, officers, directors or agents, that result from or arise out of: (i)  activities by Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees with respect to the  Development, Manufacture, and Commercialization of the Product or the exercise of their rights or performance of their obligations related thereto, including the activities taken on behalf of Sutro under Section 4.06; (ii) any violation of Applicable Law by Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees in performing Licensee’s obligation under this Agreement; and (iii) any material breach by Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees of Licensee’s representations, warranties and/or obligations under this Agreement; except in any case, to the extent such Losses are Losses for which Sutro has an obligation to indemnify Licensee, its Affiliates or their respective employees, officers, directors or agents pursuant to Section 12.01(b), as to which Losses each Party shall indemnify the other to the extent of their respective liability for such Losses.


  (b)Sutro hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensee, its Affiliates, and each of its and their respective employees, officers, directors and agents from and against any and all Losses incurred by them resulting from or arising out of or in connection with any Third Party Claims against Licensee, its Affiliates or their respective employees, officers, directors or agents, that result from or arise out of: (i)  activities by Sutro, its Affiliates or subcontractors with respect to the  Development, Manufacture, and Commercialization of the Product or the exercise of their rights or performance of their obligations related thereto, provided that, the activities taken by Licensee on behalf of Sutro under Section 4.06 shall not be considered activities by Sutro, its Affiliates or subcontractors; (ii) any violation of Applicable Law by Sutro or its Affiliates in performing Sutro’s obligations under this Agreement; and (iii) any material breach by Sutro or its Affiliates of Sutro’s representations, warranties and/or obligations under this Agreement; except in any case, to the extent such Losses are Losses for which Licensee has an obligation to indemnify Sutro, its Affiliates or their respective employees, officers, directors or agents pursuant to Section 12.01(a), as to which Losses each Party shall indemnify the other to the extent of their respective liability for such Losses.


  Section 12.02Mechanism.


  (a)In the event that a Party (the “Indemnified Party”) is seeking indemnification under Section 12.01(a) or Section 12.01(b), it shall notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the relevant Third Party Claim and the relevant Loss for which indemnification is being sought as soon as reasonably practicable after it becomes aware of such claim. Each such notice shall contain a description of the Third Party Claim and the nature and amount of the Loss claimed (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss is known at such time). The Indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the Indemnifying Party copies of all 


  	51	

   

  

  papers and official documents received in respect of any such Third Party Claim or Losses. For the avoidance of doubt, all indemnification claims in respect of a Party, its Affiliates, and each of its and their respective employees, officers, directors and agents shall be made solely by such Party to this Agreement. The Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume direction and control of the defense of the relevant Third Party Claim (including without limitation the right to settle the claim solely for monetary consideration), and shall cooperate as requested (at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) in the defense of the claim. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgement that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against any Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification.


  (b)Notwithstanding Section 12.01, the failure to give timely notice to the Indemnifying Party shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any liability to the Indemnified Party to the extent the Indemnifying Party is not materially prejudiced thereby and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the extent any Loss is caused by any delay by the Indemnified Party in providing such notice. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.02(a) requiring the Indemnified Party to tender to the Indemnifying Party the exclusive ability to defend such claim, if the Indemnifying Party declines to or fails to timely assume control of the relevant Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume such control, conduct the defense of, and settle such claim, all at the sole costs and expense of the declining or failing Party; provided, however, that neither Party shall settle or dispose of any such claim in any manner that would adversely affect the rights or interests or admit fault, of the other Party without the prior written consent of such other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Each Party, at the other Party’s expense and reasonable request, shall cooperate with such other Party and its counsel in the course of the defense or settlement of any such claim, such cooperation to include without limitation using reasonable efforts to provide or make available documents, information, and witnesses.


  Section 12.03Mitigation of Loss. Each Indemnified Party shall take and shall ensure that its Affiliates take all such reasonable steps and action as are reasonably necessary or as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably require in order to mitigate any claims (or potential losses or damages) under this Article 12. Nothing in this Agreement shall or shall be deemed to relieve any Party of any common law or other duty to mitigate any losses incurred by it.


  Section 12.04Insurance. Both Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts, at their own discretion, to procure and maintain insurance, including product liability insurance, with respect to its activities hereunder and which is consistent with normal and customary business practices in the pharmaceutical industry for Persons similarly situated, and shall upon request provide the other Party with a copy of its policies of insurance in that regard, along with any amendments and revisions thereto. Each party shall still be responsible for its liability at its own risk whether it does or doesn’t procure or maintain such insurance. Such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of both Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 12.

  Article 13
DISPUTE RESOLUTION


  Section 13.01Referral of Disputes to the Parties Senior Executives. Subject to the applicable provisions in Article 13, in the event of any dispute between the Parties arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, either Party may, by written notice to the other, have such dispute referred to the Senior Executives for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations within [*] after such notice is received.  If the Senior Executives fail to resolve such matter within [*] after the date on which the matter is referred to the Senior Executives (unless a longer period is agreed to by the Parties), then, either Party may submit the dispute for final resolution by binding arbitration in accordance with Section 13.02.


  Section 13.02Arbitration. Except as set forth in this Section 13.02, any dispute, difference, controversy or claim arising in connection with or related or incidental to, or question occurring under, this Agreement or the subject matter hereof that cannot be resolved pursuant to Section 13.01, will be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with this Section 13.02. A Party may submit such dispute to arbitration at [*] (“SIAC”) by notifying the other Party, in writing, of such dispute. Within [*] after receipt of such notice, the Parties will each designate in writing an arbitrator to resolve the dispute. Both of the designated arbitrators will elect a third arbitrator; provided, however, that if the designated arbitrators cannot agree on a third arbitrator within [*] after both arbitrators have been designated, the third arbitrator will be selected by the SIAC. The arbitrators will be a lawyer with biotechnology and/or pharmaceutical industry legal experience, and will not be an Affiliate, employee, consultant, officer, director or stockholder of any Party. The arbitration will be conducted in [*] for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this clause, except to the extent such rules are inconsistent with this Section 13.02, in which case this Section 13.02 will control. All arbitration proceedings will be conducted in the English language. The arbitrators will consider grants of equitable relief and orders for specific performance as co-equal remedies along with awards of monetary damages. The arbitrators will have no authority to award punitive damages. The prevailing Party of the arbitration shall be entitled to recover from the other any and all costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing Party in connection with the arbitration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. The Parties hereby agree that the arbitrators have authority to issue rulings and orders regarding all procedural and evidentiary matters that the arbitrators deem reasonable and necessary with or without petition therefore by the Parties as well as the final ruling and judgment. All rulings by the arbitrators will be final. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, any Party may seek equitable measures of protection in the form of attachment of assets or injunctive relief (including specific performance and injunctive relief) in any matter relating to the proprietary rights and interests of either Party from any court of competent jurisdiction, pending a decision by the arbitral tribunal in accordance with this Section 13.02. The Parties hereby exclude any right of appeal to any court on the merits of such matter. The provisions of this Section 13.02 may be enforced and judgment on the award (including equitable remedies) granted in any arbitration hereunder may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the award or any of the Parties or any of their respective assets. Except to the extent necessary to confirm an award or as may be required by Laws, neither a Party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of an arbitration without the prior written consent of both Parties. The Parties agree that, in the event of a dispute over the nature or quality of performance under this Agreement, neither Party may terminate this Agreement until final resolution of the dispute through arbitration 


  	53	

   

  

  or other judicial determination. Nothing in this Section 13.02 will preclude either Party from seeking interim or provisional relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief, concerning a dispute either prior to or during any arbitration if necessary to protect the interests of such Party or to preserve the status quo pending the arbitration proceeding. Notwithstanding the Parties’ agreement to arbitrate, unless the Parties agree in writing in any particular case, claims and disputes between the Parties relating to or arising out of, or for which resolution depends in whole or in part on a determination of the interpretation, scope, validity, enforceability or infringement of, Patents or of any Trademark rights relating to the  Product, or misappropriation of any Know-How, will not be subject to arbitration under this Agreement, and the Parties may pursue whatever rights and remedies may be available to them under law or equity, including litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction, with respect to such claims and disputes.


  Section 13.03Preliminary Injunctions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, a Party may seek a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction in order to prevent immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage on a provisional basis, pending the decision of the arbitrator(s) on the ultimate merits of any dispute.


  Section 13.04Patent Disputes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any and all issues regarding the scope, inventorship, construction, validity, or enforceability of Patents shall be by the competent Court(s) under the local patent laws of the jurisdictions having issued the Patents in question.


  Section 13.05Confidentiality. All proceedings and decisions of a mediator or arbitrator(s) in connection with proceedings pursuant to Section 13.02 shall be deemed Confidential Information of each of the Parties and shall be subject to Article 7.


  Article 14
MISCELLANEOUS


  Section 14.01Assignment; Performance by Affiliates.


  (a)Neither Party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement in any Region in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that each Party shall have the right, without such consent, (i) to perform any of its obligations and exercise any of its rights under this Agreement through, and to assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to, any of its Affiliates, provided that such performance or exercise by such Affiliate, or such assignment, as applicable, could not reasonably be expected to subject the other Party to any adverse Tax consequences with regard to any payments under this Agreement; and (ii) on written notice to the other Party, to assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a non-Affiliate successor in interest, whether by a Change of Control transaction or otherwise, to all or substantially all of the business to which this Agreement relates; however, provided that both under (i) and (ii) the assignee shall have at least the same capability and capacity of such Party to perform any obligations and exercise any rights under this Agreement. In the event that a Party performs its obligations or exercises its rights under this Agreement through an Affiliate (without having assigned all of its rights and obligations to such Affiliate as permitted under this Section 14.01), doing so shall not relieve the relevant Party of its 


  	54	

   

  

  responsibilities for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and the relevant Party shall remain responsible for the performance by its Affiliates and shall cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance.


  (b)This Agreement shall survive any succession of interest permitted pursuant to Section 14.01(a)(ii), whether by merger, consolidation, reorganization, acquisition, stock purchase, asset purchase or other Change of Control transaction.


  (c)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors, and permitted assigns of the Parties. Any assignment not in accordance with this Agreement shall be void.


  Section 14.02Force Majeure. In this Agreement, “Force Majeure” means an event which is beyond a non-performing Party’s reasonable control, including an act of God, strike, lock-out or other industrial/labor disputes (whether involving the workforce of the Party so prevented or of any other Person), war, riot, civil commotion, terrorist act, epidemic (including the COVID-19), quarantine, fire, flood, storm, earthquake, natural disaster, act of government  or compliance with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, whether or not it is later held to be invalid. A Party that is prevented or delayed in its performance under this Agreement by an event of Force Majeure (a “Force Majeure Party”) shall, as soon as reasonably practical but no later than [*] after the occurrence of a Force Majeure event, give notice in writing to the other Party specifying the nature and extent of the event of Force Majeure, its anticipated duration and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect, except if the action of giving such notice is also not practical or practicable. Subject to providing such notice unless excepted and to this Section 14.02, the Force Majeure Party shall not be liable for delay in performance or for non‐performance of its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, where non-performance or delay in performance has resulted from an event of Force Majeure. The suspension of performance allowed hereunder shall be of no greater scope and no longer duration than is reasonably required and the Force Majeure Party shall exert all reasonable efforts to avoid or remedy such Force Majeure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall not be excused from making payments owed hereunder at the time of such Force Majeure because of such Force Majeure. If a Force Majeure persists for more than [*], the Parties will discuss in good faith the modification of the Parties’ obligations under this Agreement to mitigate the delays caused by such Force Majeure.
