	 	(a)	 any reference to a clause or schedule is to the relevant clause of or schedule to this Agreement and any
reference to a sub-clause or paragraph is to the relevant sub-clause or paragraph of the clause or schedule in which it appears; 



 

	 	(b)	 the clause headings are included for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this
Agreement; 


  

	 	(c)	 any reference to “person” or “persons” includes natural persons, firms, partnerships,
companies, corporations, associations, organisations, governments, states, foundations and trusts (in each case whether or not having separate legal personality); 



 

	 	(d)	 the singular includes the plural and vice versa; and 



 

	 	(e)	 words preceding “include”, “includes”, “including” and “included” shall
be construed without limitation by the words which follow those words. 


  

	1.3	 Schedules 



The schedules form part of this Agreement. If a provision of a schedule is inconsistent with a provision of this Agreement, the latter
prevails. 
  

	2	 Grant of rights

In consideration of the payments specified in clause 4 CE hereby grants to the Licensee subject to the provisions of this Agreement:

	 	(III)	 as background intellectual property for any academic research project, 



provided however that the right reserved for SCHN shall extend only to the use of the AAV Patent in the Field. 

 

	 	(b)	 For the avoidance of doubt, academic research comprises use of the Patents in the Field 



 

	 	(I)	 for non-commercial research into clinical patient care; and



  

	 	(II)	 to investigate, develop and provide biological materials for
non-commercial research purposes. 


  

	 	(III)	 as background intellectual property for, any research pursuant to EC or other government, public or charitable
research funding, and applications for the same.

	3.1	 Provision of Know-how 



Upon the Licensee’s reasonable request, CE shall arrange for the Principal Investigator to supply the Licensee with all Know-how in his possession or control that CE is at liberty to disclose and that has not previously been disclosed to the Licensee and which is reasonably necessary to enable the Licensee to exercise its rights

least [**] notice of a publication or presentation that may include disclosure of an Improvement or any Confidential Information of the Licensee. CE (or, as appropriate, the Principal Investigator) shall at the same time as giving notice provide the
Licensee with a copy of the proposed publication or presentation. The Licensee shall be entitled to require the delay any such publication or presentation for a period of no more than [**] in order to allow the Licensee to take steps to protect the
relevant Improvement or Confidential Information. The Licensee may also require that Confidential Information of the Licensee is removed from the publication or presentation. The Licensee shall use reasonable efforts to minimise any such delay in
publication. 


  

	3.3	 Confidentiality 



No Confidential Information disclosed by one party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Recipient Party”) under this
Agreement may be disclosed by the Recipient Party to any person except:

	 	(c)	 to actual or potential customers or sub-licensees for Licensed Products
in so far as such disclosure is necessary to promote the sale or use of Licensed Products; 


  

	 	(d)	 if the Recipient Party is advised it is required to do so by law (including the Freedom of Information Act 2000
or Environmental Information Regulations) or stock exchange; 


  

	 	(e)	 if the Recipient Party is required to do so in connection with legal proceedings relating to this Agreement; or



  

	 	(f)	 if required as part of CE’s reporting obligations under any agreement with SCHN with respect to the AAV
technology, provided always that CE shall ensure that any disclosure permitted by this clause 3.3(f) shall be treated confidentially by SCHN. 


  

	3.4	 Use of Confidential Information 



No Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party may be used by the Recipient Party for any purpose other than the performance of the
Recipient Party’s obligations or the exercise of the Recipient Party’s rights under this Agreement. 
  

	3.5	 Disclosing Confidential Information 



Any Party disclosing Confidential Information under clause 3.3(a), 3.3(b) or 3.3(c) must use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that persons
receiving Confidential Information from it 
  

	 	(a)	 do not disclose or use the Confidential Information except in the circumstances permitted in clauses 3.3 and
3.4 and 


  

	 	(b)	 sign a written confidentiality undertaking on terms as least as restrictive as that binding the Recipient
Party. 


  

	3.6	 Exceptions to confidentiality obligations 



 

	 	(a)	 Clauses 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 do not apply to Confidential Information which: 



 

	 	(I)	 is in or becomes part of the public domain other than through breach of this Agreement or an obligation of
confidence owed to the Disclosing Party; 


  

	 	(II)	 the Recipient Party can prove by contemporaneous written documentation was already known to it at the time of
disclosure by the Disclosing Party (unless that knowledge arose from disclosure of information in breach of an obligation of confidence); 


  

	 	(III)	 is received by the Receiving Party without restriction on disclosure or use from a third party lawfully
entitled to make the disclosure without such restrictions; or 


  

	 	(IV)	 is developed by any of the Receiving Party’s directors, officers, employees, contractors and advisors who
have not had any direct or indirect access to, or use or knowledge of, the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.

including the right to payment under this Agreement. 


  

	 	(c)	 Clauses 2.3(d), 2.4, 3.2 to 3.7, 4 (in respect of payments due on or before termination or under clause

The Parties agree that should any dispute arise between them in relation to this Agreement they shall meet as soon as practicable and negotiate

	9	 General 


  

	9.1	 Force majeure 



 

	 	(a)	 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Party need act if it is impossible to act due to
force majeure, meaning any cause beyond its control (including war, riot, natural disaster or law taking effect after the date of this Agreement). A Party affected by force majeure agrees to notify the other Party promptly after it determines that
it is unable to act. 


  

	 	(b)	 A Party has no responsibility or liability for any loss or expense suffered or incurred by the other Party as a
result of its not acting for so long as the force majeure under clause 9.1 continues. However, the non-performing Party agrees to make reasonable efforts to avoid or remove the circumstances giving rise to the
force majeure and agrees to continue performance under this Agreement promptly when they are removed.
