THE SUBSTANCES WILL NOT INFRINGE OR VIOLATE ANY PATENT OR OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY. 
  
 4.10 Liability. Each Party shall be responsible for, and hereby assumes, any and all risks of personal injury or property damage attributable to
the negligent or willful acts or omissions, during the term of the Research Program, of that Party or its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents. 
  
 4.11 Termination of Research Programs. 
  
 (a) In the event that ICAgen fails diligently to proceed with its obligations under the Research Program or otherwise
fails to comply with any material obligation under this Section 4, or in the event that any representation or warranty made by it pursuant to Section 2 or Section 6.1 was not correct in any material respect when made and the inaccuracy materially
adversely affects the conduct of the Research Program, such shall be deemed a breach of a material obligation of ICAgen pursuant to Section 14.2, and shall entitle BMS to give notice to ICAgen specifying the nature of the default and
requiring it to cure such default. If such default is not cured within 60 days after the receipt of such notice (or, if such default cannot be cured within such 60-day period, if ICAgen does not commence and diligently continue actions to
cure such default), BMS shall be entitled, without prejudice to any of its other rights conferred on it by this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Research Program by giving written notice to take effect immediately upon
delivery of such notice. BMS’s right to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Research Program, as hereinabove provided, shall not be affected in any way by its waiver or failure to take action with respect to any previous default.

  
 (b) In the event that ICAgen is acquired (whether
through merger, consolidation, acquisition, directly or indirectly, of stock representing 50% or more of the 
  

 15 








 outstanding voting stock or other of its equity securities, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or otherwise)
by any Third Party, ICAgen shall give prompt notice of such event to BMS. Within 60 days after receipt of such notice from ICAgen, in the event that such Third Party is, in the good faith determination of BMS, a substantial competitor
of BMS in the field of [**], BMS shall be entitled, without prejudice to any of its other rights conferred on it by this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Research Program by giving written notice to take effect immediately
upon delivery of such notice. 
  
 (c) Upon termination of the
Research Program pursuant to Section 4.11(a) or (b), ICAgen shall promptly transfer to BMS copies of all data, reports, records and materials in ICAgen’s possession or control which relate to the Research Program, return to BMS
all relevant records and materials in ICAgen’s possession or control containing Confidential Information of BMS to which ICAgen does not retain rights hereunder and furnish to BMS all Substances provided to ICAgen in
connection with the Research Program. Thereafter, BMS shall have no further obligation to fund the Research Program. In the event of the termination of the Research Program pursuant to this Section 4.11: (i) BMS shall have a right and license, under
the ICAgen Technology and under ICAgen’s interests in any Joint Inventions, to screen BMS Compounds for identification as Collaboration Compounds during the remainder of the original term of the Research Program plus the one
extension year provided in Section 4.7 (as if BMS had elected to extend the term of the Research Program for such one-year period) ; (ii) ownership of all INDs, NDAs and other regulatory filings made or filed for any Collaboration Compound or
Product shall be transferred solely to BMS; (iii) all licenses granted by BMS to ICAgen under Section 7 shall terminate; and (iv) the exclusivity granted to BMS pursuant to Section 4.8(a) shall continue during the original term of the
Research Program plus the one extension year and during the remainder of the Exclusivity Period, if any. 
  
 (d) Following termination of the Research Program pursuant to Section 4.11(a): (i) in the event that a Collaboration Compound has received PLP Approval as
of the effective date of such termination, then BMS shall be obligated to pay all of the milestones as provided in Sections 8.2 with respect to such Collaboration Compound; and (ii) in the event that a Collaboration Compound has not received PLP
Approval as of the effective date of such termination, then BMS shall be obligated to pay [**]% of each of the milestones as provided in Sections 8.2 with respect to such Collaboration Compound. Following termination of the Research Program pursuant
to Section 4.11(b), BMS shall be obligated to pay all of the milestones as provided in Sections 8.2. Termination of the Research Program pursuant to this Section 4.11 shall not affect BMS’s obligations to pay royalties as provided in Sections
5, 8 and 9. 
  
 (e) Except as provided in this Section 4.11,
termination of this Agreement with respect to the Research Program shall not terminate any other rights or obligations of the Parties under this Agreement other than those set forth in this Section 4. The remedy provided in this Section 4.11 shall
be in addition to the right of BMS to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.2, but BMS’s exercise of its rights pursuant to Section 14.2 with respect to a default by ICAgen shall prohibit BMS’s exercise of its rights under
this Section 4.11 with respect to such default. 
  
 4.12

 16 








 (a) At any time during or after the term of the Research Program, in the event that BMS abandons or makes
a determination to abandon the development or commercialization of all Collaboration Compounds throughout the Territory, then BMS shall promptly notify ICAgen to that effect. The Parties acknowledge and agree that if, as of the end of the
term of the Research Program, BMS is not developing any ICAgen Compound in the [**] Series and has not selected any other Collaboration Compound for pre-clinical development, BMS shall be deemed to have abandoned the development or
commercialization of all Collaboration Compounds throughout the Territory. 
  
 (b) Following such notification, ICAgen and its Affiliates shall have the right to develop and commercialize in Field A only those Collaboration Compounds that are ICAgen Compounds and are Excluded area
compounds, and in Field B those Collaboration Compounds that are ICAgen Compounds and are not Excluded area compounds, either for their own benefit or with, for the benefit of or sponsored by any Third Party, and BMS shall grant ICAgen
an exclusive worldwide right and license (with the right to grant sublicenses) under the BMS Technology to develop, make, have made, use and sell any ICAgen Compound Products consisting of such Collaboration Compounds or containing such
Collaboration Compounds as an active ingredient(s) in the applicable Field. In consideration of the improvements made to such Collaboration Compounds by BMS prior to its abandonment of the Research Program, with respect to those Collaboration
Compounds for which BMS has initiated Phase I clinical trials prior to such notification, ICAgen shall make milestone payments, and royalty payments with respect to Net Sales, as set forth in Exhibit E. 
  
 (c) Following such notification, BMS and its Affiliates shall have the right
to develop and commercialize only those Collaboration Compounds that are BMS Compounds in Field B, either for their own benefit or with, for the benefit of or sponsored by any Third Party; provided, however, that the milestone and royalty payments
set forth in Section 8 shall apply in the event that any such Collaboration Compound is developed and marketed by BMS pursuant to this Section 4.12(c). 
  
 (d) This Section 4.12 shall not be construed as granting ICAgen any rights with respect to any Collaboration Compounds that are BMS Compounds.

  
 (e) Abandonment by BMS pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall be

pursuant to Section 4.12(a); (iv) all INDs, NDAs and other regulatory filings made or filed for any Collaboration Compound that is an ICAgen Compound or any Product that consists of an ICAgen Compound or contains an ICAgen
Compound as an active ingredient shall be transferred solely to ICAgen; and (v) all INDs, NDAs and other regulatory filings made or filed for any Collaboration Compound that is a BMS Compound or any Product that consists of a BMS Compound or
contains a BMS Compound as an active ingredient shall be transferred solely to BMS. 
  
 (g) In the event that ICAgen develops, makes, has made, uses, sells or has sold any Grant-Back Product, ICAgen shall indemnify BMS therefor as provided in Section 12.2. 
  

	5.	DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION. 

  
 5.1 Development Efforts by BMS. 
  
 (a) BMS shall use reasonable efforts (including, but not limited to, the conduct of pre-clinical testing and clinical trials, filing for regulatory
approvals, diligently pursuing such approvals and, upon the grant of regulatory approval, marketing the Products) to develop and commercialize Collaboration Compounds and Products (i) in Field B, with respect to each Collaboration Compound or
Product that is a BMS Compound or a BMS Compound Product, or a Collaboration Compound that is an ICAgen Compound and is not an Excluded area compound, or an ICAgen Compound Product that consists of or contains as an active ingredient
an ICAgen Compound and is not an Excluded area compound, and (ii) in Field A, with respect to each Collaboration Compound that is an ICAgen Compound and is an Excluded area compound, or an ICAgen Compound Product that consists
of or contains as an active ingredient an ICAgen Compound and is an Excluded area compound. In connection therewith, BMS shall dedicate resources to the development and commercialization of Products consisting of or containing as an active
ingredient a Collaboration Compound consistent with the resources that BMS, at all relevant times, would have dedicated to products containing compounds with similar indications and side effects profiles generated from BMS’s own research
efforts that BMS decided to develop commercially and market. ICAgen acknowledges that it shall have no right to have input with respect to BMS’s development and commercialization activities under this Section 5.1 except as otherwise
specifically provided in Section 4, and that all such activities shall be within the sole and absolute discretion and control of BMS, provided that such activities are consistent with the efforts required under this Section 5.1. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding Section 5.1(a), during the term of the Research Program,

imposed under Section 13. In addition, BMS shall provide ICAgen with copies of adverse drug reaction reports with respect to Collaboration Compounds as such reports are filed with the FDA. 
  
 (b) Following the acquisition of ICAgen (whether through merger,
consolidation, acquisition, directly or indirectly, of stock representing 50% or more of the outstanding voting stock or other of its equity securities, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or otherwise) by any Third Party that, in the
good faith determination of BMS, is a substantial competitor of BMS, BMS shall not be required to include in any report furnished by BMS pursuant to this Agreement any information that BMS, acting in good faith, determines to be competitively
sensitive or enabling information. 
  
 5.4 Sublicensing by
BMS. 
  
 (a) BMS shall have the right to grant sublicenses
and/or sub-sublicenses to any of its Affiliates (under Section 4 and/or Section 5) or its Sublicensees (under Section 5 only) of the licenses and/or sublicenses granted to BMS hereunder for purposes of such Affiliates’ or Sublicensees’
performance of BMS’s obligations under such sections, provided that: (i) BMS shall guarantee and be responsible for the making of all payments due, and the making of reports under this Agreement, by reason of milestones achieved with respect to
any Collaboration Compound and sales of any Products by its Affiliates or Sublicensees and their compliance with all applicable terms of this Agreement; and (ii) each Affiliate or Sublicensee agrees in writing to keep books and records and permit
ICAgen to review such books and records pursuant to the relevant provisions, and to observe all other applicable terms, of this Agreement (including, without limitation, those set forth in Sections 5.1, 5.3 and 13 of this Agreement). BMS
shall promptly provide ICAgen with notice of any sublicense granted pursuant to this Section 5.4, and provide a copy of the sublicense to ICAgen upon ICAgen’s request. Any sublicense granted by BMS (or a Sublicensee of BMS)
must contain provisions substantially identical to this Section 5.4 and Section 6.3. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, sublicensing or sub-sublicensing by BMS in accordance with Section 5.4(a) shall not constitute an abandonment of all Collaboration Compounds by BMS
under Section 4.12. 
  
 (c) BMS hereby unconditionally guarantees
the performance of any of its Affiliates and its Sublicensees hereunder. In the event of a breach by an Affiliate or Sublicensee in the observance of applicable terms of this Agreement, ICAgen shall be entitled to proceed against either such
Affiliate or Sublicensee or directly against BMS, as ICAgen may determine in its sole discretion, to enforce this Agreement.

negotiate such an arrangement with a Third Party as provided in Section 7.4(d) below. If ICAgen accepts the Minimum Terms, then the Parties shall negotiate on an exclusive basis to conclude an agreement incorporating such Minimum Terms for an
additional [**] period. 
  
 (d) In the event that
the Parties fail to negotiate a written agreement as provided in Section 7.4(b) or 7.4(c), ICAgen shall be free, for a period of [**] thereafter, to offer such business arrangement to a Third Party on terms not materially more favorable to
such Third Party in the aggregate than the commercial terms contained in ICAgen’s notice and/or information or the Minimum Terms, as the case may be. In the event that ICAgen wishes to enter into such an arrangement on materially
more favorable terms in the aggregate to the Third Party than the foregoing, then ICAgen shall first reoffer such business arrangement to BMS on substantially the same terms as those offered to such Third Party. BMS shall then have [**] to
advise ICAgen of its interest in such terms. In the event that BMS expresses interest in such terms, then the Parties shall conduct exclusive negotiations and conclude an agreement incorporating such terms within [**] thereafter. 

 
 (e) In the event additional material new findings not yet
presented to BMS are developed during the [**] period provided in clause (b) or (d) above, and provided that ICAgen has not already concluded any such business arrangement with a Third Party with respect to such ICAgen Compound, and:
(i) if ICAgen is not conducting negotiations with any Third Party therefor, then ICAgen shall give BMS the opportunity to review such additional data and to reconsider its interest in any [**] Negotiation previously declined by BMS
with respect to such ICAgen Compound pursuant to the [**] period provided in clause (a) (and the subsequent procedures, if any, of the other relevant provisions of Section 7.4); or (ii) if ICAgen is conducting negotiations with any
Third Party therefor, then ICAgen shall give BMS the opportunity to review such additional data and the terms upon which ICAgen has offered such business arrangement to such Third Party, and to reconsider its interest in any [**]
Negotiation previously declined by BMS with respect to such ICAgen Compound pursuant to the [**] period provided in clause (d) (and the subsequent procedures, if any, of clause (d)). ICAgen shall not subject itself to any restrictions
during negotiations with Third Parties which would prohibit it from offering such additional data to BMS. 
  

 23 








 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, ICAgen shall not be required to comply with
this Section 7.4 if and to the extent that prior to the identification of any ICAgen Compound of the nature specified in the first sentence of this Section 7.4, ICAgen shall have entered into any agreement with a Third Party that
conflicts or is inconsistent with this Section 7.4; provided, however, that no such agreement with a Third Party shall grant such Third Party any right in or license to any such ICAgen Compound. 
  
 (g) The rights and obligations of the Parties under this
Section 7.4 shall expire on the [**]anniversary of the end of the Research Program; provided, however, that such rights and obligations shall continue for the periods provided in this Section 7.4 if either Party provides notice to the other Party of
its interest in entering into any [**] Negotiation, pursuant to the first sentence of Section 7.4(a), prior to such date. 
  

	8.	LICENSE FEE; MILESTONE PAYMENTS AND ROYALTIES. 

  
 8.1 License Fee by BMS. In partial consideration of the rights and licenses granted by ICAgen to BMS under this Agreement, BMS shall pay
ICAgen a license fee of $[**] upon the execution of this Agreement by both Parties. 
  
 8.2 Development Milestone Payments by BMS. 
  
 (a) In partial consideration of the rights and licenses granted by ICAgen to BMS under this Agreement, BMS shall pay ICAgen
the following milestone payments upon the occurrence of each event set forth below with respect to each Collaboration Compound or Product, whether achieved by BMS or its Affiliates or its Sublicensees: 
  
 (i) $[**] upon commencement of [**]$[**] upon commencement
of [**]$[**] upon [**]; 
  
 (ii) $[**] upon [**];

  
 (iii) $[**] upon [**]; and 
  
 (iv) $[**] upon [**]. 
  
 Each of the foregoing milestones shall be paid within [**] days after achievement of such
milestone. 
  
 (b) In the event that development
of any Collaboration Compound (an “Original Compound”) terminates and, at the time of such termination, BMS is engaged in active clinical development of any other Collaboration Compound (a “Replacement Compound”) for which the
primary indication is substantially the same as the primary indication for which the Original Compound was being developed, then BMS shall be entitled to a credit against milestone payments due with respect to the Replacement Compound in the amount
equal to all milestone payments actually paid with respect to the Original Compound prior to termination of development thereof. 
  

 24 








 8.3 Royalties. In partial consideration of the rights and licenses granted by ICAgen to BMS
under this Agreement, during the Royalty Term, BMS shall pay to ICAgen a royalty on Net Sales of each Product commencing, country-by-country, on the First Commercial Sale of such Product by BMS or its Affiliates or its Sublicensees in such
country, in an amount equal to the following percentages of the specified portions of the aggregate annual Net Sales of such Product by BMS, its Affiliates and its Sublicensees throughout the Territory: 
  

				
	 On Calendar Year Net Sales of Each Product

	  	Royalty Rate

	 
	 Up to $[**]
	  	[	**]%
	 Over $[**]
	  	[	**]%

  
 In calculating the royalty due under
this Section 8.3 with respect to Net Sales of each Product during any period of less than a calendar year, the foregoing thresholds for a calendar year Net Sales shall be pro rated in accordance with the duration of such period. 
  
 8.4 Third Party Royalties. BMS, at its sole expense, shall pay all
royalties owing to any Third Party that BMS determines, in its reasonable business judgment, are necessary in order to exercise BMS’s rights hereunder to develop, make, have made, use or sell any Product; provided, however, that
BMS shall be entitled to a credit against royalties due to ICAgen under this Agreement in each calendar quarter in an amount equal to [**]%, with respect to Products that consist of or contain as an active ingredient a Collaboration Compound
that is an Excluded area compound, or [**]%, with respect to all other Products, of such payments for such calendar quarter, but in no event shall the royalties due under this Agreement with respect to any Product be reduced by more than[**]%, with
respect to Products that consist of or contain as an active ingredient a Collaboration Compound that is an Excluded area compound, or [**]%, with respect to all other Products, of the royalties otherwise payable under this Agreement during any
calendar quarter. 
  
 8.5 Obligation to Pay Royalties. The
obligation to pay royalties to ICAgen under this Section 8 is imposed only once with respect to the same unit of Product regardless of the number of Product Patents pertaining thereto. BMS shall only be entitled to a credit against royalties
or a reduction of the royalty rate once with respect to any Product in any country pursuant to any provision in this Agreement. There shall be no obligation to pay royalties to ICAgen under this Section 8 on sales of Products among BMS and
its Affiliates and its Sublicensees, but in such instances the obligation to pay royalties shall arise upon the sale by BMS, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees to unrelated Third Parties. 
  

	9.	PAYMENTS AND REPORTS. 

  
 9.1 Payment. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all royalty and other payments due hereunder shall be paid quarterly within 60 days of
the end of each calendar quarter. Each such payment shall be accompanied by a statement, Product-by-product and country-by-country, of the amount of Net Sales and Third Party Payments during such quarter and the amount of royalties due on such Net
Sales or Third Party Payments. 
  

 25 








 9.2 Mode of Payment. BMS shall make all payments required under this Agreement as directed by
ICAgen from time to time in United States Dollars. The royalty payments due shall be calculated at BMS’s customary internal corporate monthly exchange rates for the last month of the calendar quarter for which remittance is made for
royalties. For each month and each currency, BMS’s customary internal corporate monthly exchange rate shall equal the arithmetic average of the daily exchange rates (obtained as described below) during the period from (i) the 20th day of the
preceding month (or, if such 20th day is not a business day, the immediately preceding business day) through (ii) the 19th day of the current month (or, if such 19th day is not a business day, the immediately preceding business day); each daily
exchange rate shall be obtained from the Reuters Daily Rate Report or The Wall Street Journal, Eastern U.S. Edition, or, if not so available, as furnished by BMS’s local Affiliates. 
  
 9.3 Records Retention. BMS and its Affiliates and its Sublicensees
shall keep complete and accurate records pertaining to the sale of Products in the Territory and covering all transactions from which Net Sales or Third Party Payments are derived for a period of three calendar years after the year in which such
sales occurred, and in sufficient detail to permit ICAgen to confirm the accuracy of royalty payments due hereunder. 
  
 9.4 Audit Request. At the request and expense (except as provided below) of ICAgen, BMS and its Affiliates and its Sublicensees shall permit
an independent, certified public accountant appointed by ICAgen, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, to examine those records and all other material documents relating to or relevant to Net Sales or Third Party Payments in the
possession or control of BMS or its Affiliates or its Sublicensees, for a period of three years after such royalties have accrued. Results of any such examination shall be made available to both Parties. ICAgen shall bear the full cost of the
performance of any such audit except as hereinafter set forth. If, as a result of any inspection of the books and records of BMS or its Affiliates or its Sublicensees, it is shown that BMS’s royalty payments under this Agreement were less than
the amount which should have been paid, then BMS shall make all payments required to be made to eliminate any discrepancy revealed by said inspection within 45 days after ICAgen’s demand therefor. Furthermore, if the royalty payments
were less than the amount which should have been paid by an amount in excess of 5% of the royalty payments actually made during the period in question, BMS shall also reimburse ICAgen for the cost of such inspection. 
  
 9.5 Taxes. In the event that BMS is required to withhold any tax to
the tax or revenue authorities in any country in the Territory regarding any payment to ICAgen due to the laws of such country, such amount shall be deducted from the royalty or other payment to be made by BMS, and BMS shall notify
ICAgen and promptly furnish ICAgen with copies of any tax certificate or other documentation evidencing such withholding. Each Party agrees to cooperate with the other Party in claiming exemptions from such deductions or withholdings
under any agreement or treaty from time to time in effect. 
  
 9.6
Blocked Currency. In each country where the local currency is blocked by applicable law and cannot be removed from such country, royalties accrued in that country shall be paid to ICAgen in such country in local currency by deposit in
a local bank designated by ICAgen. 
  

 26 








 9.7 Interest on Late Payments. BMS shall pay interest on any payment under this Agreement that is
not made by the date due hereunder at a rate equal to the prime rate plus 3%, compounded monthly, obtained from The Wall Street Journal, Eastern U.S. edition, on the business day next preceding the date such payment was due, from such date
until payment in full has been made. 
  

	10.	OWNERSHIP; PATENTS. 

  
 10.1 Ownership of Compounds. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (i) all right, title and interest in and to all BMS
Compounds shall be owned solely by BMS, subject to any rights or licenses granted to ICAgen with respect to any such BMS Compound under this Agreement, and (ii) all right, title and interest in all ICAgen Compounds shall be owned or
controlled solely by ICAgen or its licensors, subject to any rights or licenses granted to BMS with respect to any such ICAgen Compound under this Agreement. 
  
 10.2 Ownership of Inventions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the entire right and title in all
Inventions, and any patent applications or patents based thereon, made solely by employees or others acting on behalf of ICAgen shall be owned solely by ICAgen, and made solely by employees or others acting on behalf of BMS shall be
owned solely by BMS. The cost for such patent applications and patent maintenance shall be borne by the respective Party that owns such Invention, except as provided in Section 10.4. 
  
 10.3 Joint Inventions. The Parties recognize that, as a result of the collaboration between BMS and ICAgen
during the conduct of the Research Program hereunder, certain Inventions may be deemed to be Joint Inventions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in such event, the Parties shall jointly own patents, inventor’s certificates and
applications therefor covering any such Joint Invention. The cost for such patent applications and patent maintenance shall be borne by BMS. 
  
 10.4 Patent Filing, Maintenance and Prosecution. 
  
 (a) The Party that solely owns or controls a Collaboration Compound or an [**] Invention shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to
determine whether to file for patent protection in the United States, to determine the strategies for filing and prosecuting such Patents and to determine whether to maintain such Patents. In the event that the sole owning or controlling Party
determines not to file, or abandons the prosecution or maintenance of, any such Patents in the United States on any such Collaboration Compound or [**] Invention, such Party shall give the other Party notice thereof at least 60 days’ prior to
the date on which such other Party is required by law to make a filing in order to preserve rights to patent protection in the United States, and the other Party shall have the right to do so, [**], in the name of the owning or controlling Party. In
the case of [**] Inventions that are Joint Inventions, BMS shall have the first right to file, prosecute and maintain Patents relating thereto, [**], in the joint names of the Parties. In the event that BMS determines not to file, or abandons the
prosecution or maintenance of any such Patents on any such Joint Invention, BMS shall give ICAgen at least 30 days’ prior notice thereof (but, in any event, such notice shall be given at least 60 days’ prior to the date on which
ICAgen is required by law to make a filing in order to preserve rights to patent 
  

 27 








 protection in the applicable country), and ICAgen shall have the right to do so, [**], in the
joint names of the Parties. 
  
 (b) If BMS holds
license rights thereto, the filing, prosecution and maintenance of all Patents outside the United States with respect to Collaboration Compounds and [**] Inventions for which patent protection is being sought or has been obtained in the United
States shall be done, at BMS’s expense, through BMS’s patent management and affiliates system. In the event that BMS determines not to file, or abandons the prosecution or maintenance of any such Patents, BMS shall give ICAgen at
least 30 days’ prior notice thereof (but, in any event, such notice shall be given at least 60 days’ prior to the date on which ICAgen is required by law to make a filing in order to preserve rights to patent protection in the
applicable country), and ICAgen shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume the filing, prosecution or maintenance of such Patents [**]. 
  
 (c) Except as provided in Sections 10.4(a) and 10.4(b), the Party that solely owns or controls an Invention shall have the right, in its
sole discretion, to determine whether to file for patent protection in the Territory, to determine the strategies for filing and prosecuting such Patents and to determine whether to maintain such Patents. In the event that the sole owning or
controlling Party determines not to file, or abandons the prosecution or maintenance of any such Patents in any country in the Territory on any such Invention, such Party shall give the other Party notice thereof at least 60 days’ prior to the
date on which such other Party is required by law to make a filing in order to preserve rights to patent protection in the applicable country, and the other Party shall have the right to do so, [**], in the name of the owning or controlling Party.
Except as provided in Sections 10.4(a) and 10.4(b), in the case of Joint Inventions, BMS shall have the first right to file, prosecute and maintain patent applications relating thereto, [**], in the joint names of the Parties. In the event that BMS
determines not to file, or abandons the prosecution or maintenance of any such Patents on any such Joint Invention, BMS shall give ICAgen at least 30 days’ prior notice thereof (but, in any event, such notice shall be given at least 60
days’ prior to the date on which the other Party is required by law to make a filing in order to preserve rights to patent protection in the applicable country), and ICAgen shall have the right to do so, [**], in the joint names of the
Parties. 
  
 (d) With respect to the filing,
prosecution and maintenance of any Patent pursuant to this Section 10.4, the filing Party shall keep the other Party informed of its decisions and actions in this regard by providing a report thereof to the Steering Committee. Further, in connection
with any such filing, prosecution or maintenance by either Party, such Party shall consult with the other Party and in good faith consider and give due respect to such other Party’s position with respect thereto. In the event that the sole
owning or controlling Party elects not to file for patent protection or prosecute or maintain such Patents and the other Party elects to do so, such owning or controlling Party shall cooperate with the other Party in such filing, prosecution or
maintenance. 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Section 10.4, in the event that any Collaboration Compound is an Excluded area compound which is owned jointly by Lilly and ICAgen, the rights and obligations of the Parties with respect thereto shall be subject to
Lilly’s right to participate in the filing and prosecution of patent applications therefor and 
  

 28 








 maintenance of any resulting patents, including without limitation Lilly’s right to use in-house
counsel, pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Lilly Agreement. 
  

	11.	PATENT ENFORCEMENT AND INFRINGEMENT. 

  
 11.1 Patent Enforcement. 
  
 (a) Each Party shall notify the other promptly after such Party becomes aware of any alleged infringement of any Product Patent in any
country in the Territory. With respect to any alleged infringement solely involving a Valid Claim(s) of any Product Patents with respect to which BMS then holds a license under this Agreement, subject to the rights of Lilly under Section 8.2 of the
Lilly Agreement, if any, and subject to the provisions of Section 11.1(b), BMS shall have the first right, but not the duty, to institute patent infringement actions against Third Parties. If BMS does not institute an infringement proceeding against
an offending Third Party within 90 days after becoming aware or receiving notice of any alleged infringement, then ICAgen shall have the right, but not the duty, to institute such an action. 
  
 (b) With respect to any alleged infringement relating to an
Excluded area compound or a Product consisting of an Excluded area compound or containing an Excluded area compound as an active ingredient, unless the Parties otherwise agree, BMS and ICAgen shall cooperate in instituting and maintaining
such action. BMS shall bear [**]% of the costs and expenses of any action instituted pursuant to this Section 11.1(b) (including reasonable fees of attorneys and other professionals), and ICAgen shall bear [**]% of such costs and expenses.
Each Party shall execute all necessary and proper documents and take such actions as shall be appropriate to allow the Parties to jointly institute and prosecute such infringement actions. Any settlement of any such action shall be subject to the
rights of Lilly under Section 8.2 of the Lilly Agreement, if any. In any event, neither Party shall enter into a settlement with respect to any such action without the prior consent of both Parties, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Any award
or compensation (including the fair market value of nonmonetary compensation) paid by Third Parties as a result of such an infringement action (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) shall be applied as follows: (i) first, to reimbursement of
the Parties, on a pro rata basis, for all expenses incurred by each in connection with such action, and (ii) second, any remaining balance shall be allocated [**]% to BMS and [**]% to ICAgen, except that with respect to Grant-Back Compounds
and Grant-Back Products, any remaining balance shall be allocated [**]% to BMS and [**]% to ICAgen. 
  
 (c) With respect to any alleged infringements other than as described in Section 11.1(a) or (b), the Parties shall determine how they
should proceed with respect to such alleged infringement at such time, subject to the rights of Lilly under Section 8.2 of the Lilly Agreement, if any. If the Parties cannot agree as to how to proceed, the matter shall be resolved pursuant to the
arbitration provision set forth in Section 16.14. 
  
 (d) Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.1(b), the costs and expenses of any action instituted pursuant to this Section 11.1 (including reasonable fees of attorneys and other professionals) shall be borne by the Party instituting the
action, or, if the Parties elect to cooperate in instituting and maintaining such action, such costs and expenses shall be borne by the Parties in such proportions as they may agree in writing. Each Party shall execute all 
  

 29 








 necessary and proper documents and take such actions as shall be appropriate to allow the other Party to
institute and prosecute such infringement actions (if such other Party has the right to institute and prosecute such infringement actions pursuant to this Section 11.1). Any settlement of any such action shall be subject to the rights of Lilly under
Section 8.2 of the Lilly Agreement, if any. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.1(b), any award or compensation (including the fair market value of non-monetary compensation) paid by Third Parties as a result of such an infringement action
(whether by way of settlement or otherwise) shall be applied as follows: (i) first, to reimbursement of the Parties, on a pro rata basis, for all expenses incurred by each in connection with such action, and (ii) second, any remaining balance shall
be allocated [**]% to BMS and [**]% to ICAgen, except that with respect to Grant-Back Compounds and Grant-Back Products, any remaining balance shall be allocated [**]% to BMS and [**]% to ICAgen. 
  
 11.2 Infringement Actions by Third Parties. 
  
 (a) Each Party shall notify the other Party promptly in
writing of any claim of, or action for, infringement of any patents belonging to Third Parties which is threatened, made or brought against either Party by reason of either Party’s performance under the Research Program or manufacture, use or
sale of any Products in the Territory. 
  
 (b) In
the event that an action for infringement is commenced solely against a Party, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees and such action is not covered by a right of indemnification under clause (iii) of Section 12.1 or Section 12.2(a)(iii), as applicable,
such Party shall defend such action at its own expense, and the other Party hereby agrees to assist and cooperate with such Party, at its own expense, to the extent necessary in the defense of such suit. In the event that such action involves an
Excluded area compound and such Party does not defend such action, Lilly shall have the right to defend such action pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Lilly Agreement. The defending Party shall have the right to settle the suit or consent to an adverse
judgment thereto, subject to the rights of Lilly under Section 8.1 of the Lilly Agreement, if any, and the consent of the other Party shall not be required unless such settlement or consent: (A) imposes any obligation on such other Party, or (B)
materially impairs such other Party’s rights in or to any Patent, or any process, compound or composition of matter, that has utility outside the field of [**], or (C) in the event that such action involves an Excluded area compound or a
Product consisting of an Excluded area compound or containing an Excluded area compound as an active ingredient, provides for the payment of any damages, settlement payments or awards to the defending Party (i.e., as a result of a counterclaim), in
which event such other Party’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. During the pendency of such action, all royalties due hereunder shall continue to be paid by the defending Party. The defending Party shall assume full responsibility
for the payment of any award for damages, or any amount due pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Party with such Third Party, subject to the provisions of Section 8.4 with respect to future royalties. Any and all damages, settlement
payments and awards (including the fair market value of non-monetary consideration) received by the defending Party as a result thereof (i.e., as a result of a counterclaim) shall be applied as follows: (i) first, for reimbursement of the Parties,
on a pro rata basis, for all expenses incurred by each in connection with such action, and (ii) second, any remaining balance shall be allocated [**]% to BMS and [**]% to ICAgen, except that with respect to Grant-Back Compounds and Grant-Back
Products, any remaining balance shall be allocated [**]% to BMS and [**]% to ICAgen; provided, however, in the event that such action involves an Excluded 
  

 30 








 area compound or a Product consisting of an Excluded area compound or containing an Excluded area
compound as an active ingredient, then any remaining balance shall be allocated [**]% to BMS and [**]% to ICAgen, and with respect to Grant-Back Compounds and Grant-Back Products, any remaining balance shall be allocated [**]% to BMS and
[**]% to ICAgen. 
  
 (c) If such action is
commenced against both Parties or their Affiliates or Sublicensees jointly and such action is not covered by a right of indemnification under clause (iii) of Section 12.1 or Section 12.2(a)(iii), the Parties shall enter into a joint defense strategy
agreement which will set forth how the Parties intend to proceed, who will be selected as counsel and what the allocation of costs and damages will be between the Parties, subject to any rights of Lilly under the Lilly Agreement that are applicable
thereto. If the Parties cannot agree on such a joint defense strategy, the matter shall be resolved pursuant to the arbitration provision set forth in Section 16.14. 
  

	12.	INDEMNIFICATION. 

  
 12.1 By BMS. BMS shall indemnify and hold ICAgen, its Affiliates and its Sublicensees, if any, and their respective directors, officers,
employees and agents, harmless from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees of attorneys and other professionals) arising out of or resulting from: 
  
 (i) negligence, recklessness or wrongful intentional acts or
omissions of BMS, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees, if any, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, in connection with the work performed by BMS under the Research Program; 
  
 (ii) any warranty claims, Product recalls or any tort claims
of personal injury (including death) or property damage relating to or arising out of the manufacture, use, distribution or sale of any Collaboration Compound or Product by BMS, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees due to any negligence, recklessness
or wrongful intentional acts or omissions by, or strict liability of, BMS, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees, if any, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, except, in each case, to the comparative extent such claim arose
out of or resulted from the negligence, recklessness or wrongful intentional acts or omissions of ICAgen, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees, if any, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents; or 
  
 (iii) any breach of any representation or warranty made by
BMS pursuant to Section 2.1. 
  
 12.2 By ICAgen.

  
 (a) ICAgen shall indemnify and hold
BMS, its Affiliates and its Sublicensees, if any, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, harmless from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees of attorneys and
other professionals) arising out of or resulting from: 
  
 (i) negligence, recklessness or wrongful intentional acts or omissions of ICAgen, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees, if any, and their respective directors, officers, 
  

 31 








 employees and agents, in connection with the work performed by ICAgen under the Research Program;

  
 (ii) any warranty claims, Product recalls or
any tort claims of personal injury (including death) or property damage relating to or arising out of the manufacture, use, distribution or sale of any Collaboration Compound or Product by ICAgen, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees due to any
negligence, recklessness or wrongful intentional acts or omissions by, or strict liability of, ICAgen, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees, if any, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, except, in each case, to the
comparative extent such claim arose out of or resulted from the negligence, recklessness or wrongful intentional acts or omissions of BMS, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees, if any, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents; or

  
 (iii) any breach of any representation or
warranty made by ICAgen pursuant to Section 2 or Section 6.1. 
  
 (b) In the event that ICAgen develops, makes, has made, uses, sells or has sold any Grant-Back Product pursuant to rights under Section 4.12, or in the event that ICAgen develops, makes, has made, uses,
sells or has sold any ICAgen Compound or ICAgen Compound Product pursuant to Section 14.3(c), ICAgen, including any successor to ICAgen, shall, and/or shall obligate its sublicensees to, indemnify BMS with respect thereto
as provided in Section 12.2(a). 
  
 12.3 Notice. In the
event that either Party is seeking indemnification under Section 12.1 or Section 12.2, such Party shall inform the indemnifying Party of a claim as soon as reasonably practicable after it receives notice of the claim, shall permit the indemnifying
Party to assume direction and control of the defense of the claim (including the sole right to settle it at the sole discretion of the indemnifying Party, provided that such settlement does not impose any obligation on the indemnified
Party)            , and shall cooperate as requested (at the expense of the indemnifying Party) in the defense of the claim. 
  

	13.	PUBLICATION; CONFIDENTIALITY. 

  
 13.1 Publication. 
  
 (a) Both Parties recognize that each may wish to publish the results of their work relating to the Research Program. However, both Parties
also recognize the importance of acquiring patent protection on inventions prior to publication. Consequently, neither Party shall publish or present the results of the Research Program with respect to any Collaboration Compound or of development
studies carried out thereon until after the commencement of Phase II clinical development with respect thereto; provided, however, with respect to any Collaboration Compound for which development has been discontinued prior to Phase II clinical
development, the Steering Committee shall have the right to permit publications relating thereto, subject to the provisions of this Section 13.1. Thereafter, subject to the restrictions provided below, either Party may publish or present the results
of the Research Program or of development studies carried out on such Collaboration Compound, subject to the prior review by the Steering Committee for patentability and protection of Confidential Information. Each Party 
  

 32 








 shall provide to the Steering Committee the opportunity to review any proposed abstracts, manuscripts or
summaries of presentations which cover the results of the Research Program or of any clinical development of such Collaboration Compound. The Steering Committee shall respond in writing promptly and in no event later than 30 days after its receipt
of the proposed material with either approval of the proposed material or a specific statement of concern, based upon either the need to seek patent protection or concern regarding competitive disadvantage arising from the proposal. In the event of
concern, the submitting Party agrees not to submit such publication or to make such presentation that contains such information until the Steering Committee is given a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 90 days) to seek patent protection for
any material in such publication or presentation which it believes is patentable or to resolve any other issues. This Section 13.1(a) shall cease to apply with respect to any Collaboration Compound upon the commercial launch of a Product consisting
of such Collaboration Compound or containing such Collaboration Compound as an active ingredient. 
  
 (b) Each Party also agrees to delete from any such proposed publication any technical or scientific Confidential Information of the other
Party that relates to the Research Program upon such other Party’s reasonable request. In addition, ICAgen agrees to delete from any such proposed publication any Confidential Information of BMS, upon BMS’s reasonable request.

  
 (c) In any publication permitted under this
Section 13.1, each Party shall acknowledge its collaboration with the other Party under this Agreement. 
  
 (d) Nothing in Section 13 shall prevent ICAgen: (i) in connection with efforts to secure financing at any time during the term of
this Agreement, from issuing statements as to achievements made, and the status of the work being done by the Parties, under this Agreement, so long as such statements do not jeopardize the ability to obtain patent protection on Inventions or
disclose nonpublic technical or scientific Confidential Information; or (ii) from issuing statements that ICAgen determines to be necessary to comply with applicable law (including the disclosure requirements of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, Nasdaq or any other stock exchange on which securities issued by ICAgen are traded); provided that, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, ICAgen shall provide BMS with a copy of the proposed text of
such statements sufficiently in advance of the scheduled release thereof to afford BMS a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the proposed text. 
  
 13.2 Confidentiality; Exceptions. 
  
 (a) Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties agree that, for the term of
the Research Program and for [**] years thereafter the receiving Party, its Affiliates and its Sublicensees, if any, shall use their best efforts to keep, and to ensure that their officers and directors keep, completely confidential and shall not
publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose (except that each Party may use without restriction information developed in the Research Program that is of general utility outside [**]) both the financial terms of this Agreement and
any information furnished to it by the other Party, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees, if any, or developed under or in connection with the Research Program pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent that it can be established by the
receiving Party by competent proof that such information: (i) is or hereafter becomes 
  

 33 








 generally available to the public other than by reason of any default by the receiving Party with respect
to its confidentiality obligations hereunder; (ii) was already known to the recipient as evidenced by prior written documents in its possession; (iii) is disclosed to the recipient by a Third Party who is not in default of any confidentiality
obligation to the disclosing Party; or (iv) is independently developed by or for the receiving Party without reference to or reliance upon the information furnished by the other Party (“Confidential Information”). 
  
 (b) Further, ICAgen shall treat all ICAgen
Technology that both: (i) relates solely to [**], and (ii) is or reasonably may be necessary or useful to make, use or develop Products, as if it were Confidential Information of BMS for the period of time stated in Section 13.2(a). 
  
 13.3 Exclusions to Confidentiality. The restrictions contained in
Section 13.2 shall not apply to Confidential Information that (i) is submitted by the recipient to governmental authorities to facilitate the issuance of marketing approvals for a Product, provided that reasonable measures shall be taken to assure
confidential treatment of such information, if practicable; (ii) is provided by the recipient to Third Parties under appropriate terms and conditions, including confidentiality provisions equivalent to those in this Agreement, for consulting,
manufacturing development, manufacturing, external testing, marketing trials and sublicensing or potential sublicensing; (iii) is contained in any report submitted to ICAgen by BMS pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent that ICAgen
is required to disclose such Confidential Information to any licensor(s) of technology or compositions of matter that are employed in the Research Program, provided that all competitively sensitive or enabling Confidential Information of BMS shall
be redacted from all such disclosures and ICAgen shall be required to obtain BMS’s written approval, in advance, of the content of all such disclosures; or (iv) is otherwise required to be disclosed in compliance with applicable laws or
regulations (including, without limitation, to comply with SEC, Nasdaq or stock exchange disclosure requirements) or order by a court or other regulatory body having competent jurisdiction; provided that if a Party is required to make any such
disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information it will, except where impracticable for necessary disclosures, for example to physicians conducting studies or to health authorities, give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of
such disclosure requirement and, except to the extent inappropriate in the case of patent applications or otherwise, will use its best efforts to secure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information required to be disclosed. 
  
 13.4 Injunctive Relief. The Parties acknowledge that money damages
alone would not adequately compensate the disclosing Party in the event of a breach by the receiving Party of this Section 13, and that, in addition to all other remedies available to the disclosing Party at law or in equity, it shall be entitled to
injunctive relief for the enforcement of its rights under this Section 13 and to an accounting of profits made during the period of any breach of the receiving Party’s obligations under this Section 13. 
  

	14.	TERM; TERMINATION. 

  
 14.1 Term. This Agreement shall commence as of the date of this Agreement and, unless sooner terminated as provided hereunder, shall expire as
follows: 
  

 34 








 (a) As to each Product in each country in the Territory, this Agreement shall expire upon
the expiration of the Royalty Term with respect to such Product in such country. 
  
 (b) This Agreement shall expire in its entirety upon the termination of the Royalty Term with respect to all Products in all countries in
the Territory. 
  
 14.2 Breach. 
  
 (a) Failure by either Party to comply with any of its
material, obligations contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, in the event that any representation or warranty made by ICAgen pursuant to Section 2 or Section 6.1 was not correct in any material respect when made and the
inaccuracy materially adversely affects the rights of BMS under this Agreement), shall entitle the other Party to give to the Party in default notice specifying the nature of the default and requiring it to cure such default. If such default is not
cured within 60 days (30 days in the event of a default with respect to an obligation to pay money) after the receipt of such notice (or, if such default cannot be cured within such 60-day period, if the Party in default does not commence and
diligently continue actions to cure such default, the Parties agreeing that all defaults with respect to obligations to pay money shall be curable within the 30-day period provided above), the notifying Party shall be entitled, without prejudice to
any of its other rights conferred on it by this Agreement, and in addition to any other remedies available to it by law or in equity, to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, by giving written notice to take effect immediately upon delivery of
such notice. Such right shall be in addition to the right of BMS to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Research Program pursuant to Section 4.11, but BMS’s exercise of its rights pursuant to Section 4.11 with respect to a default by
ICAgen shall prohibit BMS’s exercise of its rights under this Section 14.2 with respect to such default. The right of either Party to terminate this Agreement, as provided in this Section 14.2(a), shall not be affected in any way by its
waiver or failure to take action with respect to any previous default. 
  
 (b) Failure of a representation or warranty made under this Agreement by either Party to be true in all material respects as of the date made and the inaccuracy of which materially adversely affects the rights of the
other Party under this Agreement shall entitle the other Party, without prejudice to any of its other rights conferred on it by this Agreement, and in addition to any other remedies available to it by law or in equity, to terminate this Agreement in
its entirety, by giving written notice to take effect immediately upon delivery of such notice. The right of either Party to terminate this Agreement, as provided in this Section 14.2(b), shall not be affected in any way by its waiver or failure to
take action with respect to any previous default. 
  
 (c) Any dispute concerning whether a Party is in default under the terms of this Agreement shall be referred for arbitration pursuant to Section 16.14. The effectiveness of any notice given pursuant to Section 14.2(a) or 14.2(b) shall be
tolled during the pendency of any such arbitration. 
  
 (d) An election of remedy by a Party for a material breach of this Agreement under this Section 14.2 on one occasion shall not constitute a waiver as to any other remedy that may be available to such Party under this Section 14.2 as to any
material breach on another occasion. 
  

 35 








 14.3 Effect of Expiration or Termination. 
  
 (a) Following expiration of the term of this Agreement with respect to a
Product in a country in the Territory pursuant to Section 14.1(a), BMS shall have the royalty-free, perpetual right to continue to manufacture, have manufactured, use and sell such Product in such country. Following expiration of the term of this
Agreement in its entirety pursuant to Section 14.1(b), BMS shall have the royalty-free, perpetual right to continue to manufacture, have manufactured, use and sell all Products in all countries in the Territory. 
  
 (b) Upon termination of this Agreement by BMS pursuant to Section 14.2: (i)
ICAgen shall promptly transfer to BMS copies of all data, reports, records and materials in ICAgen’s possession or control which relate to the Research Program, return to BMS all relevant records and materials in
ICAgen’s possession or control containing Confidential Information of BMS to which ICAgen does not retain rights hereunder and furnish to BMS all Substances provided to ICAgen in connection with the Research Program; (ii)
all licenses granted by BMS to ICAgen under Section 7 shall terminate; (iii) ownership of all INDs, NDAs and other regulatory filings made or filed for any Collaboration Compound or Product shall be transferred solely to BMS; and (iv) the
exclusivity granted to BMS pursuant to Section 4.8(a) shall continue during the remainder of the Exclusivity Period, if any. The licenses granted to BMS by ICAgen pursuant to Sections 4.11 and 7 shall continue in full force and effect,
subject to BMS’s obligations, including payment of royalties and milestones, as provided in Sections 5, 8 and 9; provided, however, if at the time BMS terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.2, a Collaboration Compound
has not received PLP Approval as of the effective date of such termination, then BMS shall be obligated to pay only [**]% of each of the milestones as provided in Sections 8.2 with respect to such Collaboration Compound. 
  
 (c) Upon termination of this Agreement by ICAgen pursuant to Section
14.2: (i) BMS shall promptly transfer to ICAgen copies of all data, reports, records and materials in BMS’s possession or control which relate to the Research Program, return to ICAgen all relevant records and materials in
BMS’s possession or control containing Confidential Information of ICAgen to which BMS does not retain rights hereunder and furnish to ICAgen all Substances provided to BMS in connection with the Research Program; (ii) all
licenses granted by ICAgen to BMS under Sections 4.11 and 7 shall terminate; and (iii) ownership of all INDs, NDAs and other regulatory filings made or filed for any ICAgen Compound or Product shall be transferred solely to

a Grant-Back Compound and each such ICAgen Compound Product shall be deemed to be a Grant-Back Product, ICAgen shall pay milestones and royalties with respect thereto as provided in Exhibit E, and ICAgen shall indemnify
BMS as provided in Section 12.2(b). In the event that, following termination of this Agreement by ICAgen pursuant to Section 14.2, BMS develops, makes, has made, uses, sells or has sold any BMS Compound that is a Collaboration Compound or any
BMS Compound Product, BMS shall pay milestones and royalties with respect thereto as provided in Sections 5.4, 8 and 9. 
  
 (d) In the event either Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.2, such Party shall have the right to sublicense such Party’s rights
under Section 14.3(b) or 
  

 36 








 14.3(c), as the case may be, in accordance with either Section 5.4, in the case of sublicensing by BMS, or Paragraph 4 of
Exhibit E, in the case of sublicensing by ICAgen. 
  
 (e) In the event of the termination of any license rights granted to either Party as provided in Section 14.3(b) or (c), the other Party shall recognize the sublicenses previously granted hereunder to such Party’s Sublicensees;
provided, however, that the other Party shall not assume, and shall not be responsible to any such Sublicensee for, any representations, warranties or obligations of the Party that granted the sublicense to any Sublicensee. 

 
 14.4 Accrued Rights, Surviving Obligations. 
  
 (a) Termination, relinquishment or expiration of this Agreement for any
reason shall be without prejudice to any rights which shall have accrued to the benefit of either Party prior to such termination, relinquishment or expiration. Such termination, relinquishment or expiration shall not relieve either Party from
obligations which are expressly indicated to survive termination or expiration of this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Termination, relinquishment or expiration of this Agreement shall not terminate each Party’s obligation to pay all royalties and milestone
payments that shall have accrued prior to such termination. All of the Parties’ rights and obligations under Sections 4.4, 4.6, 4.9, 4.10, 4.12, 5.4(c), 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.3, 14.4, 16.1, 16.7, 16.10, 16.13, 16.14 and 16.15 and the relevant
portions of Exhibit E shall survive termination, relinquishment or expiration hereof. 
  

	15.	FORCE MAJEURE. 

  
 15.1 Events of Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party nor be deemed to be in default under or in
breach of any provision of this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any obligation of this Agreement when such failure or delay is due to force majeure, and without the fault or negligence of the Party so failing or
delaying. For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure is defined as causes beyond the control of the Party, including, without limitation, acts of God; acts, regulations, or laws of any government; war; civil commotion; destruction of
production facilities or materials by fire, flood, earthquake, explosion or storm; labor disturbances; epidemic; and failure of public utilities or common carriers. In such event BMS or ICAgen, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the
other Party of such inability and of the period for which such inability is expected to continue. The Party giving such notice shall thereupon be excused from such of its obligations under this Agreement as it is thereby disabled from performing for
so long as it is so disabled and the 30 days thereafter. To the extent possible, each Party shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of any force majeure. 
  

	16.	MISCELLANEOUS. 

  
 16.1 Non-solicitation. During the term of the Research Program, and for a period of one year thereafter, neither Party shall solicit, induce,
encourage or attempt to induce or encourage any employee of the other Party to terminate his or her employment with such other Party or to breach any other obligation to such other Party. 
  

 37

unless and until the assignee/transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 16.4 Disclaimer of Warranties. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT. 
  
 16.5 Further Actions. Each Party agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments, and to do all such other acts, as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

 Section 1.25. “Net
Sales” means, with respect to a Product, the gross amount invoiced by a party or its Affiliates (or a sublicensee of a party or its Affiliates in the case of Sections 6.2 and 6.4(a)) to non-affiliated third parties for the Product, less:

  
 a) Trade, quantity and cash discounts allowed; 
  
 b) Commissions, discounts, refunds, credits, rebates, chargebacks,
retroactive price adjustments, and any other allowances which effectively reduce the gross amount invoiced; 
  
 c) Actual product returns and allowances; 
  
 d) Any value added, sales or use tax or tax in the nature of a value added, sales or use tax; and 
  
 e) Allowance for customs, duties, transportation expenses and insurance on

 If the Product is sold as a combination of the
Development Compound, Rejected Lead Compound or Excluded Area Compound with one or more other active ingredients, Net Sales shall be calculated by multiplying Net Sales of the combination product by the fraction A/(A+B) where A is the sales price of
the Development Compound, Rejected Lead Compound or Excluded Area Compound in the combination when sold separately as a Product and B is the total sales price of all other active ingredients in the combination when sold separately. If the
Development Compound, Rejected Lead Compound or Excluded Area Compound and the other active ingredients are not sold separately, A in the above fraction shall be the fair market value of the Development Compound, Rejected Lead Compound or Excluded
Area Compound in the combination and B shall be the aggregate fair market value of all other active ingredients in the combination. 
  
 Such amounts shall be determined from the books and records of the party marketing the Product and its Affiliates maintained, to the extent applicable, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) consistently applied. 
  
 Section 1.26. “Nonexclusive Field” means screening the Molecular Diversity Libraries for all ion channels excluding the Exclusive Field

 Section 2.1. Rescission. As of the Effective Date, Sphinx and ICAgen and the other parties thereto shall execute the Rescission Agreement attached
hereto as Appendix A pursuant to which the ICAgen/Sphinx Agreement will be rescinded as of the Effective Date of this Agreement. 
  
 Article III 
  
 Planning and Execution of Research Program 
  
 Section 3.1. Joint Committee Formation. Promptly upon the execution of this Agreement by both parties, ICAgen and Lilly shall each appoint two (2)
representatives to serve as members of the Joint Committee. The respective individual representatives of each party may 
  

 5 








 be changed from time to time at the discretion of such party, upon written notification by the party making such change
to the other. 
  
 The Joint Committee and Lilly shall receive
Assay Activity Compound Notices. Assay Activity Compound Notices may only be provided by ICAgen once per month (although notices for more than one compound may be provided at the same time) and may not represent greater than [**] percent ([**]%) of
all compounds in the Molecular Diversity Libraries previously screened by ICAgen. In addition, for each month in the six-month period commencing with April 1995, ICAgen may not give Assay Activity Compound Notices as to more than [**]compounds per
month. Thereafter, if requested to do so by Lilly, the Joint Committee shall determine whether there shall be a maximum limit (beyond the [**]% limit set forth in the second sentence of this paragraph) on the number of Assay Activity Compound
Notices that ICAgen may give in any month (such number to in no event be less than [**]) and, if so, what the numerical limit shall be. In making any such determination, the standard to be applied by the Joint Committee shall be to permit ICAgen to
give Assay Activity Compound Notices as to that number of compounds that ICAgen has a good faith and reasonable intent to use reasonable efforts to develop as provided in this Agreement, but not to permit ICAgen to give Assay Activity Compound
Notices on a bad faith and unreasonable basis solely for the purpose of impeding development of Assay Activity Compounds by Lilly. 
  
 Within thirty (30) days of receipt of an Assay Activity Compound Notice, Lilly shall determine whether the Assay Activity Compound that is the subject of
the Assay Activity Compound Notice is a Lilly Compound or a prodrug, homolog or isomer of a Lilly Compound. If ICAgen disputes any such determination by Lilly, ICAgen may submit the issue to the Joint Committee, which shall decide such issue within
thirty (30) days after submission. If the Assay Activity Compound is a Lilly Compound, the Joint Committee shall, within the same thirty (30) day period, attempt to find a substitute compound as a candidate having a chemical and biological profile
similar to the Assay Activity Compound that was determined to be a Lilly Compound. 
  
 As to each Assay Activity Compound that is targeted at a disease or condition outside of the Excluded Area, ICAgen shall use reasonable efforts, commencing six months after the later of (x) the date that it is
determined that such Assay Activity Compound is not a Lilly Compound or (y) the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement, to conduct the tests necessary to determine whether such Assay Activity Compound will qualify as a Lead Compound (the
sole remedy for such failure on the part of ICAgen to be as set forth in the next sentence). With respect to any such Assay Activity Compound as to which ICAgen shall not have used such reasonable efforts, if ICAgen gives a Lead Compound Notice
relating thereto, there shall again be a determination (following the procedures set forth in the previous paragraph) as to whether such compound is a Lilly Compound or prodrug, homolog or isomer of a Lilly Compound (although for purposes of this
sentence, this determination shall be made as of the relevant Lead Compound Notice date and not the Assay Activity Compound Notice date as provided in Section 1.21). If the compound is a Lilly Compound or prodrug, homolog or isomer of a Lilly
Compound, it shall not qualify as a Lead Compound, and the Joint Committee shall seek to find a substitute compound (following the procedures set forth in the previous paragraph). 
  

 6 








 As set forth in Sections 1.2 and 6.1(a), the Joint Committee also shall receive Lead Compound Notices and
Area of Interest Notices and review proposed Development Compound Criteria. 
  
 The Joint Committee also shall receive Development Compound Notices. Within fifteen (15) days of receipt of a Development Compound Notice, the Joint Committee shall decide if the compound that is the subject of the
Development Compound Notice satisfies the applicable Development Compound Criteria, in which case the Joint Committee shall designate such compound as a Development Compound. 
  
 Except as provided in Section 3.5, the Joint Committee shall meet at such times and in such manner as reasonably necessary
to carry out its duties under this Agreement. All decisions of the Joint Committee shall require the consent of a majority of the designees of the Committee. If the Joint Committee is unable to reach such majority vote on any issue, the issue shall
be referred to the President of ICAgen and the Chairman of the Central Nervous System strategy group for Lilly Research Laboratories (a division of Lilly), or their respective designees, for resolution within thirty (30) days. If such referral does
not resolve the issue within the prescribed period, then the issue shall be determined by binding arbitration pursuant to Section 12.14. 
  
 Section 3.2. Conduct of Studies. All studies done in connection with the Research Program shall be carried out in compliance with any federal,
state or local laws, regulations, or guidelines governing the conduct of research at the site where such studies are being conducted, including those applicable to the care and use of experimental animals. In addition, all animals involved in the
Research Program shall be provided humane care and treatment in accordance with generally acceptable current veterinary practices. 
  
 Section 3.3. Provision and Supply of Molecular Diversity Libraries. 
  
 a) During the Contract Period, Current Lilly Entities which engage in the generation of Molecular Diversity Libraries shall
use their best efforts to generate and provide ICAgen with Molecular Diversity Libraries or, in the event that all Current Lilly Entities cease to generate Molecular Diversity Libraries, shall thereafter during the Contract Period cause to be
provided to ICAgen molecular diversity chemical libraries that are comparable to the Molecular Diversity Libraries in terms of quantity, quality and nature of compounds. 
  
 b) No later than October 1, 1994, Lilly shall notify ICAgen of all existing Molecular Diversity Libraries (including
reasonable detail as to the nature thereof), and shall for the duration of the Contract Period, promptly as they become available, notify ICAgen of any and all additional Molecular Diversity Libraries as are generated (including reasonable detail as
to the nature thereof). At least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of each calendar quarter during the Contract Period, commencing with respect to the calendar quarter that begins on April 1, 1995, ICAgen shall provide Lilly with
ICAgen’s reasonable estimate of the quantity of compounds from Molecular Diversity Libraries that ICAgen believes it will be able to screen during such quarter and the identity of the Molecular Diversity Libraries that ICAgen desires to screen.
Subject to the next two sentences, Lilly shall provide ICAgen with such Molecular Diversity Libraries for screening in such quarter at reasonable times over the course of the 
  

 7 








 quarter. If Lilly believes, based upon ICAgen’s activities in the prior calendar quarter (after the end of the
calendar quarter that begins on April 1, 1995) and other relevant factors, such as additions of equipment and staff by ICAgen, that the quantity of compounds in an estimate of ICAgen for any quarter materially exceeds the quantity of compounds that
ICAgen will be able to screen in such quarter, Lilly may submit such issue, within ten (10) days following Lilly’s receipt of the estimate, to the Joint Committee for decision by the Joint Committee. The Joint Committee shall decide any such
issue within ten (10) days after submission. At the conclusion of the Contract Period, ICAgen shall return to Lilly all Molecular Diversity Libraries in ICAgen’s possession; provided however that ICAgen shall be entitled to an additional 120
days in which to finish screening of Molecular Diversity Libraries in its possession at the conclusion of the Contract Period. 
  
 With respect to each compound in each Molecular Diversity Library, Lilly initially shall supply ICAgen with at least [**] for each assay in which the
compound is to be screened. Promptly upon request by ICAgen, Lilly shall provide ICAgen with additional quantities of Assay Activity Compounds that ICAgen proposes to further develop as part of the Research Program as shall be requested by ICAgen;
provided, however that ICAgen may not request such additional quantities as to more than [**]% of all compounds in the Molecular Diversity Libraries previously screened by ICAgen and that for each such Assay Activity Compound as to which ICAgen
requests additional quantities Lilly will provide ICAgen with [**] of the compound or such greater amount as ICAgen shall reasonably request to determine whether the compound is a Lead Compound (or would qualify as such if it were not an Excluded
Area Compound). Lilly shall also use its best efforts to provide such additional amounts of such compound as ICAgen shall reasonably request in connection with ICAgen’s efforts to determine whether the compound may satisfy the Development
Compound Criteria. 
  
 c) Current Lilly Entities hereby grant
ICAgen for the duration of the Contract Period (and for the additional 120-day period provided in Section 3.3(b)): 
  

	 	(i)	the exclusive, non-sublicensable and nontransferable right and license to use the Molecular Diversity Libraries in the Exclusive Field; 

  

	 	(ii)	a nonexclusive, non-sublicensable and non-transferable right and license to use the Molecular Diversity Libraries in the Nonexclusive Field; and 

  

	 	(iii)	the exclusive (in the Exclusive Field) and nonexclusive (in the Nonexclusive Field) right to make and have made any individual compound from the Molecular Diversity Libraries, as
well as any modification of such individual compounds, for the purposes of the Research Program and only for such purposes. Under this Section 3.3(c)(iii), ICAgen may elect in its sole discretion and expense to have individual compounds made by a
third party, provided that the third party is bound by the same confidentiality obligations as those of the parties hereto, as set forth in Section 4.4. 

  
 d) Subject to any licenses granted in Article VI, Lilly shall retain legal title to the Molecular Diversity Libraries
(including the individual compounds therein) and the Lilly 
  

 8 








 Compounds and, subject to any such licenses, nothing contained herein shall be construed as vesting in ICAgen any
incidents of title thereto. 
  
 e) Current Lilly Entities shall
provide to ICAgen all information on the Molecular Diversity Libraries, and on any specific compound therein, as requested by ICAgen to further ICAgen’s performance of the Research Program. Upon delivery to ICAgen of the first Molecular
Diversity Library by Lilly or a Lilly Affiliate, and on a prompt basis thereafter, Lilly shall notify ICAgen of any and all Lilly Compounds of which the principal scientific and business representatives of Lilly and Lilly Affiliates with whom ICAgen
deals in connection with the Research Program are or become aware and which are included in any Molecular Diversity Library, so that ICAgen may avoid the unnecessary expenditure of its resources regarding Lilly Compounds. Upon request by ICAgen,
Lilly shall provide reasonable substantiation (including research notebooks) that a compound is or has become a Lilly Compound. Except as set forth in Section 3.3(c)(iii), ICAgen agrees to limit access to the Molecular Diversity Libraries to its
employees, and, in the case of Lead Compounds (or Assay Activity Compounds that would qualify as Lead Compounds if they were not targeted at Excluded Area diseases or conditions), to its consultants and contractors who shall have agreed to be bound
by the same confidentiality obligations as those of the parties hereto as set forth in Section 4.4, and to maintain the same degree of security with respect to the Lead Compound as ICAgen maintains for its own similar materials but in no event less
than a reasonable degree of security. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Molecular Diversity Libraries (including any specific compound therein) may not be transferred to any third party, including Affiliates, without the express written
consent of Lilly. 
  
 f) EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.7, THE
MOLECULAR DIVERSITY LIBRARIES ARE BEING PROVIDED TO ICAGEN HEREUNDER WITH NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING AND USAGE OF
TRADE. 
  
 THE RESULTS OF THE RESEARCH PROGRAM, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO THE IDENTIFICATION OF ANY LEAD COMPOUND, DEVELOPMENT COMPOUND OR EXCLUDED AREA COMPOUND ARE BEING PROVIDED TO LILLY HEREUNDER WITH NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE OR ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING AND USAGE OF TRADE. 
  
 g) ICAgen agrees that the distribution of the Molecular Diversity Libraries to ICAgen does not constitute a representation on the part of Lilly that the use of the Molecular Diversity Libraries will not infringe any
patent or proprietary rights of any third party. 
  
 Section
3.4. Alternative Sourcing. Subject to Section 4.4, ICAgen can source, use, develop and commercialize other chemistry methodologies, whether external or internal to ICAgen, and Lilly shall have no rights with respect to any such chemistry
methodologies, compounds or leads generated therefrom. 
  

 9 








 Section 3.5. Contract Period Extension. The Joint Committee may decide to extend the Contract
Period for a period of up to two (2) years beyond March 31, 1998, and shall meet to specifically address the extension issue no later than September 30, 1997. Failure of the Joint Committee to reach agreement on this matter shall not be subject to
arbitration pursuant to Section 12.14. 
  
 Section 3.6. Lilly
Technical Assistance. Lilly agrees to provide to ICAgen, at no expense to ICAgen, [**] person hours (with no more than [**] per week) of assistance and consultation from appropriately skilled employees of Lilly or Current Lilly Entities in
establishing robotic assays. 
  
 Article IV 
  
 Results of Research Program 
  
 Section 4.1. Reports. ICAgen shall provide Lilly with reports of the
results of the Research Program at least quarterly or more frequently as may be determined by the Joint Committee. Such reports will specify the number of Molecular Diversity Libraries screened and the results of the high throughput assays employed.
At the conclusion of the Contract Period, ICAgen shall supply to Lilly a comprehensive final written report regarding the results of ICAgen’s work on the Research Program with the Molecular Diversity Libraries. ICAgen shall be under no
obligation to disclose confidential information of ICAgen in any of its reports to Lilly (although ICAgen acknowledges and agrees that this sentence shall not excuse ICAgen from its obligation to furnish such reports to Lilly). 
  
 Section 4.2. Patentable Inventions. Inventions conceived of and
reduced to practice during the Contract Period solely by Lilly shall be the property of Lilly. Inventions conceived of and reduced to practice during the Contract Period solely by ICAgen shall be the property of ICAgen. Inventions conceived of and
reduced to practice during the Contract Period jointly by one or more employees of ICAgen and one or more employees of Lilly shall be jointly owned by ICAgen and Lilly. 
  
 Section 4.3. Filing and Prosecution of Patent Applications. Filing and prosecution of patent applications and the
maintenance of resulting patents on an invention shall be the responsibility of the party owning the invention, provided that where Lilly exercises its right of first refusal with respect to a Development Compound pursuant to Section 6.1(b), [**],
of (i) any pertinent ICAgen patent application preparation and prosecution and patent maintenance, and (ii) any pertinent jointly owned patent application preparation and prosecution and patent maintenance, and shall, upon exercising its right of
first refusal, promptly pay any and all such reasonable costs and expenses incurred by ICAgen prior to the date of Lilly’s exercise of its first refusal right. In the event of a joint invention, the parties shall jointly control patent
application preparation and prosecution and patent maintenance and shall select counsel mutually acceptable to both parties to conduct the filing and prosecution of any patent applications relating to such invention; provided however, for inventions
that are chemical compounds, and subject to ICAgen’s approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, Lilly can at its option prepare and file the corresponding patent applications using its in-house counsel [**]. Out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in the filing, prosecution and maintenance of applications and resulting 
  

 10 








 patents covering joint inventions [**], provided that costs associated with employees and technical consultants (other
than third party technical consultants involved in the preparation of affidavits or declarations and the like for submission in support of prosecution) of a party [**] such costs. In the event that one party decides that it will not pursue or will
no longer pursue the prosecution of a jointly owned patent application or maintenance of a jointly owned patent in a given country, and the other party desires to pursue or to continue to pursue such prosecution or maintenance, that party which will
not pursue or which will no longer pursue prosecution or maintenance shall assign to the other party its rights in the subject matter of said patent application or patents in such country. For any patent application or resulting patent covering a
Development Compound for which one party has assumed responsibility (the “Prosecuting Party”) for the control of the preparation, prosecution and maintenance, the Prosecuting Party shall provide the other party with copies of all documents
received from, or to be filed in, any Patent Office at a time reasonably sufficient to allow the other party to review and comment on such documents before any relevant deadlines. The Prosecuting Party agrees to reasonably consider any such comments
received from the other party. 
  
 Section 4.4.
Confidentiality. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, both Lilly and ICAgen shall retain in confidence and not use, except for the purpose of this Agreement, information received from the other during the Contract Period
which is in writing and marked as confidential by the disclosing party at the time of disclosure or disclosed otherwise (including orally) and summarized in writing within thirty (30) days thereafter and noted to be subject to the confidentiality
requirements of this Section 4.4, provided that the parties hereby agree that ICAgen research reports shall be considered as confidential ICAgen information except as to Development Compounds for which Lilly exercises its right of first refusal
pursuant to Section 6.1(b). Both ICAgen and Lilly will exercise the same level of care which each party uses to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of its own confidential information of similar importance but in no event less than a
reasonable degree of care. Such confidential information may, however, be disclosed insofar as such disclosure is necessary (where possible, with adequate safeguards for confidentiality and nonuse) to allow either party to defend itself against
litigation, to file and prosecute patent applications or to comply with governmental regulations. Such obligations of confidentiality and nonuse shall not apply to information which (i) is in the public domain; (ii) comes into the public domain
through no fault of the receiving party; (iii) is demonstrated by written records, contemporaneously maintained, to have been known to the receiving party prior to its disclosure hereunder; (iv) is disclosed to the receiving party by a third party
having a lawful right to make such disclosure; (v) is demonstrated by written records, contemporaneously maintained, to have been developed by the receiving party independent of any disclosure hereunder; or (vi) the receiving party has been given
express written consent of the other party to make such disclosure. In the event that Lilly fails to exercise its right of first refusal with respect to a Development Compound, the obligations of confidentiality and nonuse created hereunder shall
not apply to ICAgen with respect to such Development Compound. In addition, such confidentiality and nonuse obligations shall not apply to ICAgen with respect to Rejected Lead Compounds or Excluded Area Compounds. The obligations of confidentiality
and nonuse created hereunder shall expire [**] years from the end of the Contract Period.

 Article V 
  

Term and Termination 
  
 Section 5.1. Term. Unless earlier terminated as provided in this Article V, this Agreement shall remain in effect until the last to expire right or
obligation contained herein expires. 
  
 Section 5.2.
Termination for Breach. If either party shall be in default of a material obligation under this Agreement and shall fail to remedy such default within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice thereof, the party not in default shall have
the option of terminating (i) the Research Program if the default relates to the Research Program, or (ii) the rights granted to the party in default with respect to the particular Development Compound, Excluded Area Compound, Rejected Lead Compound
or Product to which the default relates, by giving written notice of termination to the other party. 
  
 Section 5.3. Termination for Bankruptcy. If either party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (ii) has instituted, on its behalf or
against it, voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings (and fails to defend such involuntary bankruptcy proceedings within thirty (30) days) or (iii) is dissolved, wound up, confiscated, sequestered or in any other way transferred into state
ownership or has a receiver or trustee of its property appointed, the other party may terminate this Agreement upon ten (10) days written notice. 
  
 Section 5.4. Effective Date Termination. If the Effective Date has not occurred by October 1, 1994, then ICAgen thereafter shall have the option of
terminating this Agreement by giving Lilly written notice of termination. 
  
 Section 5.5. Termination for Changes in Control. If after the Effective Date and prior to the end of the Contract Period any entity listed on Appendix B to this Agreement (which shall include entities that own
80% or more of the voting securities of the entities listed on Appendix B and entities of which the entities listed on Schedule B own 80% or more of the voting securities) acquires ownership or control of more than 30% of the outstanding shares of
common stock of ICAgen (assuming the exercise of all outstanding warrants and options and the conversion of all convertible securities, regardless of whether then exercisable or convertible), Lilly may terminate the Research Program at any time
during the thirty (30) day period commencing upon Lilly’s having received notice of such acquisition from ICAgen. 
  
 Section 5.6. Nonexclusivity for Failure to Establish or Cessation of Activity. If after the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement, ICAgen
shall not be actively engaged in the activity of screening molecular compounds to discover small molecules which modulate the functions or functional expression of ion channels, and shall not have cured such failure after sixty (60) days’ prior
written notice thereof from Lilly, ICAgen’s exclusive rights under clauses (i) and (iii) of Section 3.3(c) shall become nonexclusive for the balance of the Contract Period. 
  
 Section 5.7. Effect of Termination. Termination of the Research Program or any license granted hereunder shall not
affect the rights and obligations of the parties accrued prior to such termination under this Agreement. Confidentiality obligations as set forth in Section 4.4 shall 
  

 12 








 survive termination in accordance with the terms of that Section, and sublicenses in existence as of termination shall
survive termination as set forth in Section 6.14. 
  
 Article
VI 
  
 Commercial Rights Section 
  
 Section 6.1. Lilly Right of First Refusal. 
  
 a) Within ten (10) days after receipt of a Lead Compound Notice, Lilly shall
give ICAgen and the Joint Committee an Area of Interest Notice as to such Lead Compound if the Lead Compound that is the subject of such Lead Compound Notice is targeted at a disease or condition that is within an area of therapeutic interest to
Lilly. The failure of Lilly to give an Area of Interest Notice on a timely basis shall be conclusively deemed to be a decision by Lilly that the Lead Compound is not within such an area of therapeutic interest. If Lilly gives an Area of Interest
Notice as to a Lead Compound on a timely basis, the Joint Committee shall within twenty (20) days after the date of the Area of Interest Notice determine whether the Development Compound Criteria for such Lead Compound proposed by ICAgen are
appropriate. If Lilly does not give a timely Area of Interest Notice as to a Lead Compound, such Lead Compound shall be a Rejected Lead Compound for purposes of this Agreement and Lilly shall not have a right of first refusal with respect to such
Rejected Lead Compound. 
  
 b) As to each Development Compound,
ICAgen hereby grants to Lilly the right of first refusal to acquire from ICAgen a worldwide, exclusive license, with the right to sublicense, under ICAgen Patent Rights and Program Know-How to make, have made, use, sell and have sold in any area
other than the Excluded Area, any Product containing or manufactured from the Development Compound. ICAgen agrees to make available to Lilly all Program Know-How licensed to Lilly hereunder. 
  
 c) Lilly shall provide written notice to ICAgen of Lilly’s exercise of
its right of first refusal under this Section 6.1 as to each Development Compound as soon as reasonably practical but in no event later than [**] days after the date of designation of any Development Compound as such by the Joint Committee. If Lilly
fails to provide such notice prior to the expiration of such [**]) day period, the right of first refusal granted under this Section 6.1 shall terminate. 
  
 d) In the event that Lilly fails to exercise Lilly’s right of first refusal under this Section 6.1 with respect to a particular Development Compound,
Lilly shall have no rights of any kind under any ICAgen Patent Rights or Program Know-How with respect to that Development Compound (although Lilly’s rights under Section 6.4(a) shall not be affected by such failure). 
  
 Section 6.2. Royalties to ICAgen. 
  
 As to each Product that Lilly develops, Lilly shall pay, or cause to be paid
by its sublicensees, to ICAgen a royalty as follows: 
  

 13 









			
	 Net Sales of the Product
 During a Calendar
Year

	  	Royalty Rate


	 First $[**] Million
	  	[**]%
	 In Excess of $[**] Million
	  	[**]%

  
 Only one (1) royalty shall be payable
per Product, no matter how many Patent Rights or Program Know-How cover the developing or commercializing of such Product. 
  
 Section 6.3. ICAgen Commercialization Rights. In the event that Lilly fails to exercise its right of first refusal under Section 6.1 to develop a
Development Compound, and with respect to all Rejected Lead Compounds and Excluded Area Compounds, Lilly hereby grants to ICAgen a worldwide exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses, under any Lilly Patent Rights and Lilly Know-How to
make, have made, use, sell and have sold any Product containing or manufactured from that Development Compound, Rejected Lead Compound or Excluded Area Compound; provided, however, that the foregoing license grant shall terminate (i) as to a
Development Compound if ICAgen shall not have given Lilly notice of ICAgen’s election to develop and market such Development Compound within [**]days after the date on which Lilly’s right of first refusal under Section 6.1 shall have
expired without exercise by Lilly, (ii) as to an Excluded Area Compound, if ICAgen shall not have given such a notice to Lilly within [**] after the date on which ICAgen gave the Joint Committee notice of the related Assay Activity Compound or such
later time after the end of such [**] period as shall be determined-as reasonable by the Joint Committee so long as ICAgen is continuing to use reasonable efforts to develop a Product based on such Excluded Area Compound and (iii) as to a Rejected
Lead Compound, if ICAgen shall not have given such a notice to Lilly within [**] after the date on which ICAgen gave Lilly the related Lead Compound Notice or such later time after the end of such [**] period as shall be determined to be reasonable
by the Joint committee so long as ICAgen is continuing to use reasonable efforts to develop a Product based on such Rejected Lead Compound. As to each compound (Assay Activity Compound, Lead Compound, Development Compound, Rejected Lead Compound or
Excluded Area Compound) that it has elected to develop or market, ICAgen or its sublicensees shall use reasonable efforts to develop and market a Product, including but not limited to the conduct of preclinical testing and clinical trials, filing
for regulatory approvals, diligently pursuing such approvals and, upon the grant of regulatory approval, marketing such Product. At a minimum, ICAgen’s or its sublicensee’s reasonable efforts shall comprise the dedication by ICAgen or its
sublicensee of resources consistent with the resources which would have been used by ICAgen or its sublicensee at the relevant time in relation to a compound with similar indications and side effects profile generated from ICAgen’s or its
sublicensee’s own research endeavors which ICAgen or its sublicensee decided to commercially develop and market. In connection with the development and commercialization of each Development Compound, Rejected Lead Compound and Excluded Area
Compound by ICAgen, ICAgen shall provide Lilly with detailed quarterly reports summarizing the efforts devoted to the development and marketing of the Development Compound, Rejected Lead Compound or Excluded Area Compound. ICAgen’s obligation
to provide such quarterly reports shall begin when ICAgen has provided Lilly with notice that ICAgen has elected to develop the Development Compound, Rejected Lead Compound or Excluded Area Compound and shall continue until the first commercial sale
in a Major Country occurs. ICAgen in its sole discretion can terminate ICAgen’s development of a Development Compound, Rejected Lead Compound 
  

 14 








 or Excluded Area Compound at any time, in which case ICAgen shall lose its right under the Lilly Patents and Lilly
Know-How as to the particular compound. Lilly agrees to make available to ICAgen all Lilly Know-How licensed to ICAgen hereunder. 
  
 Section 6.4. Royalties to Lilly. 
  
 a) With respect to any Development Compound for which Lilly does not exercise its right of first refusal and any Rejected Lead Compound which, in either
case, is subsequently commercialized by or for ICAgen, ICAgen shall pay or cause to be paid to Lilly a royalty of [**] percent ([**]%) based on Net Sales of the Product developed containing or manufactured from, such Development Compound or Rejected
Lead Compound as an active ingredient. 
  
 b) With respect to any
Excluded Area Compound which ICAgen develops into a Product, ICAgen shall pay to Lilly (i) a royalty as follows: 
  

			
	 Net Sales of the Product During
 a Calendar Year

	  	Royalty Rate


	 First $[**] Million
	  	[**]%
	 In Excess of $[**] Million
	  	[**]%

  
 or (ii) if such Product is sold by a
sublicensee of ICAgen, Lilly will receive [**] percent ([**]%) of ICAgen’s sublicense royalties received from sublicenses relating to such Product. 
  
 Only one (1) royalty shall be payable per Product, no matter how many Patent Rights or Lilly Know-How cover the developing or commercializing of such
Product. 
  
 Section 6.5. Duration of Royalties. Any
royalties payable by ICAgen or Lilly to the other under this Article VI shall be payable on a country-by-country basis from the date of first commercial sale of a Product in such country by ICAgen or Lilly, as the case may be, until the expiration
of the last to expire of any patent containing a Valid Claim included in the Patent Rights of the other in such country covering such Product. The term “covering” as used herein means any issued patent included in the Patent Rights of the
other having a Valid Claim which would be infringed by the unauthorized making, using or selling of a Product. For any country where there is no Valid Claim under the Patent Rights of the other covering the Product, full royalties shall be payable
by ICAgen or Lilly to the other as provided in this Article VI as to the Product for a period of 10 years from first commercial sale; provided, however, in the event a product containing the same active ingredient is sold by a third party for the
same therapeutic indication, then the royalty obligations under this sentence shall cease; and provided further that, if a Valid Claim covering the Product should issue at any time, then royalties shall be payable by ICAgen or Lilly to the other
under this Article VI until the expiration of the last to expire of any patent containing a Valid Claim included in the Patent Rights of the other in such country covering such Product. 
  
 Section 6.6. Reimbursement Payments. 
  

 15 








 a) Payments. As to each Development Compound for which Lilly exercises its right of first refusal and
undertakes a Development Program, Lilly shall pay to ICAgen the following reimbursement payments (the “Reimbursement Payments”): 
  

					
	 Payment Triggering Event

	  	Reimbursement Payment
Amount

	 
	 (i)     [**] for the Product
	  	$	[	**]
	 (ii)    [**] for the Product
	  	$	[	**]
	 (iii)  [**] for the Product
	  	$	[	**]
	 (iv)   [**] of the Product
	  	$	[	**]
	 (v)    [**] for the Product
	  	$	[	**]
	 (vi)   [**] for the Product
	  	$	[	**]

  
 Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section, in the event Lilly exercises its right of first refusal and undertakes a Development Program for a Development Compound targeted at [**], the Reimbursement Payment Amount for Payment Triggering Event (iii)
shall be increased from $[**] to $[**] and the Reimbursement Payment Amount for the Payment Triggering Event (vi) shall be increased from $[**] to $[**]. 
  
 Only one of each of such Reimbursement Payments shall be payable for any Development Compound regardless of the number of indications or formulations.
Each Reimbursement Payment specified above is payable in full by Lilly on the date specified above on a nonaccountable basis (i.e., ICAgen shall have no obligation to provide Lilly with any information as to costs and expenses with respect to which
the Reimbursement Payments constitute reimbursement and Lilly shall have no right to request any such information from ICAgen). With respect to each Development Compound, the Reimbursement Payment specified in clause (i) above shall be [**]%
creditable against the Reimbursement Payment specified in clause (iii) above, [**] under this Agreement. 
  
 b) Timing of Payments. All Reimbursement Payments payable by Lilly to ICAgen hereunder shall be made within thirty (30) business days following
achievement of the Payment Triggering Event as set forth in Section 6.6(a). 
  
 c) Manner of Payment. All Reimbursement Payments payable by Lilly hereunder shall be made in United States currency by bank wire transfer in immediately payable funds to a bank account designated by ICAgen.

  
 d) Substituted Development Compounds. If a payment is made
under Section 6.6(a) with respect to a Development Compound and development of that particular Development Compound is subsequently discontinued by Lilly and a different Development Compound is selected for development by Lilly for treatment of the
same indication, Lilly shall not be required to make payments under Section 6.6(a) with respect to the substitute Development Compound to 
  

 16 








 the extent that Lilly has previously made payments under Section 6.6(a) with respect to the discontinued Development
Compound. Therefore, if Lilly has not made a particular payment under Section 6.6(a) as to a discontinued Development Compound, Lilly shall be required to make such payment, subject to occurrence of the related Payment Triggering Event, as to the
substitute Development Compound. 
  
 Section 6.7.
Warranties. Each of ICAgen and Lilly warrants to the other that it has the right to enter into this Agreement, and the right to convey to the other the rights being granted under patents or otherwise as specified herein, all of the foregoing
being free of any liens, claims, encumbrances or licenses of any kind whatsoever. 
  
 Section 6.8. Acknowledgment of Ongoing Research. 
  
 a) Lilly, a going commercial concern with a substantial portfolio of marketed and developmental human healthcare products, and ICAgen, having substantial existing technology relating to ion channel research,
acknowledge and agree that each party may, subject to its obligations hereunder, (i) maintain an ongoing independent research effort in such other areas that are not specifically excluded as to such party hereunder; (ii) contract with other parties
for technology and biological materials; and (iii) develop drugs for the treatment of various diseases in humans and animals. If any of these efforts results in drugs, there will be no royalty obligations to the other party under this Agreement for
the sale of such drug products, although the royalties due for Products sold hereunder or other rights and responsibilities of either party under this Agreement will not be affected. 
  
 b) Nothing contained herein shall be construed as a prohibition on the right of Lilly or its collaborators to conduct
research directed to the identification of prophylactic or therapeutic agents for the disease states identified in the Excluded Area; provided, however, that such agents were not identified by Lilly through use of the Molecular Diversity Libraries
in the Exclusive Field. 
  
 Section 6.9. Commercialization
Efforts By Lilly. As to each Development Compound as to which Lilly shall have exercised its right of first refusal pursuant to Section 6.1, Lilly shall use reasonable efforts to develop and market a Product, including but not limited to the
conduct of preclinical testing and clinical trials, filing for regulatory approvals, diligently pursuing such approvals and, upon the grant of regulatory approval, marketing such Product. At a minimum, Lilly’s reasonable efforts shall comprise
the dedication by Lilly of resources consistent with the resources which would have been used by Lilly at the relevant time in relation to a compound with similar indications and side-effects profile generated from Lilly’s own research
endeavors, which Lilly had decided to commercially develop and market. In connection with the development of each Development Compound, Lilly shall provide ICAgen with detailed quarterly reports summarizing the efforts to develop and market the
Development Compound. The obligation to provide such reports shall begin upon the exercise by Lilly of its right of first refusal as to a given Development Compound and shall continue until the first commercial sale in a Major Country occurs. Lilly
in its sole discretion can terminate Lilly’s development of a Development Compound at any time, in which event Lilly’s rights under Section 6.1 shall terminate and revert to ICAgen, which may designate that Development Compound for

  

 17 








 development by it, in which event Lilly hereby grants ICAgen exclusive rights to commercialize the so designated
Development Compound in accordance with Section 6.3. 
  
 Section 6.10. Records. Each party obligated to pay royalties under this Agreement shall keep and maintain records of sales of Product. Such records shall be open to inspection, at any reasonable time within three (3) years after the
royalty period to which such records relate, by an independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to the reporting party, but selected by the other party and retained at that party’s expense (or at the reporting party’s
expense if an underpayment of five percent (5%) or more of royalty due is found to have occurred). The accountant shall have the right to examine the records kept under this Section and report the findings of that examination to the other party to
the extent necessary to verify the royalty calculations made under Section 6.2 or Section 6.4. The receiving party shall maintain those findings in confidence, except to the extent necessary to enforce its rights under this Agreement. With the
agreement of the receiving party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, the receiving party will use the reporting party’s regular independent certified public accountant (if such accountant is a so-called “Big Six” accounting
firm, or a successor to one of such firms) to inspect the reporting party’s records and provide the necessary report to the receiving party. 
  
 Section 6.11. Taxes. Each party shall pay any and all taxes levied on account of royalties it receives under this Agreement. If laws or regulations
require that taxes be withheld, the party paying the royalty will a) deduct those taxes from the remittable royalty, b) pay the taxes to the proper taxing authority, and c) send proof of payment to the party being paid within sixty (60) days
following that payment. 
  
 Section 6.12. Blocked Currency.
In each country where the local currency is blocked by applicable law and cannot be removed from the country, at the election of the paying party, royalties accrued in that country shall be paid to the party being paid in the country in local
currency by deposit in a local bank designated by the paid party. 
  
 Section 6.13. Payments in U.S. Currency. Except as provided in Section 6.12, all amounts due hereunder shall be payable in United States dollars. Conversion of foreign currency to U.S. dollars shall be made at the conversion rate
published in The Wall Street Journal on the last day of the calendar quarter to which the payment relates. 
  
 Section 6.14. Grant of Sublicenses. Each party shall notify the other party in writing promptly following the grant of any sublicense hereunder,
and shall provide a copy of the sublicense to the other party. All sublicenses granted hereunder shall be in writing and shall: (i) require the sublicensee to use the efforts to commercialize a Product imposed upon its sublicensor under Section 6.3
or Section 6.9, as applicable; and (ii) provide the other party with the right to enforce the sublicense, and receive all payments due thereunder, in the event of the termination of rights granted the sublicensor hereunder. 
  
 In the event of the termination of rights granted the sublicensor under this
Agreement, the other party shall recognize the licenses granted in sublicenses then in force; provided, however, that the other party shall not assume, and shall not be responsible to any sublicensee for, any representations, warranties or
obligations of the sublicensor to any sublicensee. 
  

 18 








 References to the “other party” in this Section 6.14 mean the other party to this Agreement
(i.e., the party that has granted the license under which the sublicense referred to in this Section 6.14 has been granted by the sublicensor referred to in this Section 6.14). 
  
 Section 6.15. Payments and Reports. As to each Product, unless otherwise provided, all royalty payments due under
this Agreement shall be paid on a quarterly basis by calendar quarter, beginning in the first calendar quarter in which a commercial sale occurs. Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter, the party which has been granted
license rights by the other party with respect to the development and marketing of a Development Compound, Rejected Lead Compound or Excluded Area Compound shall deliver to the granting party a report detailing the marketing efforts undertaken by
the licensed party during such quarter and the manner in, which any royalty payment due for that quarter was calculated. Each such report shall be accompanied by payment of the quarterly royalty due, if any. 
  
 Section 6.16. Royalty Rate Reduction. In the event that either party
finds it necessary (in that party’s reasonable business judgment) to make payments (including without limitation royalties, option fees or license fees) to obtain a license or similar right from a third party in order to pursue the development
of a Development Compound, Rejected Lead Compound or Excluded Area Compound or the commercialization of a corresponding Product, that party shall be entitled to offset the amount of such third party payment actually paid against royalties thereafter
due under this Agreement, provided that in no event will the amount of the offset permitted exceed [**] percent ([**]%) of the royalty otherwise due for the Product. 
  
 Article VII 
  
 Disclosure of Agreement 
  
 Section 7.1. Disclosure of Agreement. Except as required by law and as otherwise provided in this Article VII, neither party shall disclose to the
public generally or generally to others in its trade or industry any information about this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. Each party may disclose the existence, but not the terms, of this Agreement to third parties.
Each party may disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement to its auditors, tax authorities, attorneys, lending institutions, financial advisors, shareholders, potential investors and sublicensees and potential sublicensees. 
  
 Section 7.2. Press Releases. Appendix C sets forth a press release and
questions and answers thereto, and other information regarding the Agreement, which may be released upon execution of this Agreement and furnished from time to time to third parties by either party hereto. In addition to the press release set forth

 Article VIII 
  
 Infringement of Patent Rights 
  

Section 8.1. Litigation. If the use of the Patent Rights results in a claim of patent infringement against Lilly or ICAgen, the party to this
Agreement first having notice of that claim shall promptly notify the other party in writing. The notice shall set forth the facts of the claim in reasonable detail (and include copies of any related material). The parties will promptly consult with
one another to discuss how best to defend against such claim. The entity that controls the defense of a claim shall also have the right to control settlement of such claim; provided, however, no settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary
disposition of the claim shall be entered into without the consent of the other party if such settlement would adversely affect the interests of such other party including requiring any payment from such other party (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld). 
  
 If the claim of infringement results
from a party’s actions in connection with that party’s development or commercialization of a Development Compound, Rejected Lead Compound or an Excluded Area Compound or a Product, the developing or commercializing party shall have the
primary right, but not the obligation, to defend against such claim. In the event that the developing or commercializing party undertakes to defend against such a claim, the expenses associated with such defense and any damages resulting from such
infringement will be paid by the developing or commercializing party. In the event that the developing or commercializing party decides not to defend against such claim, the other party, if it owns the Patent Rights at issue, may, in its sole
discretion, undertake to defend against such claim. 
  
 Section
8.2. Third Party Infringement. If any patent in the Patent Rights is infringed by a third party, the party to this Agreement first having knowledge of such infringement shall promptly notify the other in writing. The notice shall set forth the
facts of that infringement in reasonable detail. 
  
 The party
licensed under the patent allegedly infringed shall have the primary right, but not the obligation, to institute, prosecute, and control any action or proceeding with respect to such infringement by counsel of its own choice, and the party owning
the patent allegedly infringed shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in that action or proceeding by counsel of its own choice. In the event that the party licensed under the patent brings an action or proceeding, it shall have
the right first to reimburse itself out of any sums recovered in such action or proceeding or in its settlement thereof for all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind and character, including reasonable attorney’s fees, involved in the
prosecution of any action or proceeding. The patent owner shall [**] under this Agreement [**]. 
  
 If the party licensed under the patent fails to bring an action or proceeding within a period of ninety (90) days (i) after receiving written notice from
the other, or (ii) after otherwise having knowledge of that infringement, the party owning the patent allegedly infringed shall have the right, but not the obligation, to institute, prosecute, and control any action or proceeding with respect to
such infringement by counsel of its own choice, and the party licensed under the patent shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in that action by counsel of its own 
  

 20 








 choice. In the event that the party owning the patent allegedly infringed so brings an action or proceeding, [**] of any
sums recovered in such action or proceeding or in its settlement thereof. 
  
 As to a jointly owned patent infringed by a third party, the party which is developing a Development Compound, Rejected Lead Compound or an Excluded Area Compound or commercializing a Product covered by the patent
allegedly infringed by a third party shall have the primary right, but not the obligation, to institute, prosecute and control any action or proceeding with respect to such infringement by counsel of its own choice, and the other party shall have
the right, at its own expense, to be represented in that action or proceeding by counsel of its own choice. In the event that the party which is developing such a Development Compound, Rejected Lead Compound or an Excluded Area Compound or
commercializing a Product brings an action or proceeding under a jointly owned patent, it shall have the right first to reimburse itself out of any sums recovered in such action or proceeding or in its settlement thereof for all reasonable costs and
expenses of every kind and character, including reasonable attorney’s fees, involved in the prosecution of any action or proceeding. The other party jointly owning the patent allegedly infringed shall [**] under this Agreement [**]Excluded area
compound[**]. 
  
 The parties acknowledge that a jointly-owned
patent may cover compounds being commercialized by both parties pursuant to this Agreement, and in the event that such a jointly-owned patent is being infringed by a third party, the parties agree to work together to decide how to institute,
prosecute and control any action or proceeding with respect to such infringement. In deciding which party shall have the primary right, but not the obligation, to institute, prosecute and control such suit, the parties agree that the party whose
Product is most closely in competition with the allegedly infringing product shall have the primary right to institute, prosecute and control such suit, but the other party shall have the right to elect to participate in such suit by agreeing to
fund a percentage ([**]%) of the costs and expenses associated with any such action. In the event that the parties share in the funding of the costs and expenses of such action, the parties agree that [**]. In the event the party that does not have
the primary right to institute, prosecute and control such an action or proceeding elects not to participate in the funding of such action or proceeding, then the party that instituted such action or proceeding shall have the right first to
reimburse itself out of any sums recovered in such action or proceeding or in its settlement thereof for all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind and character, including reasonable attorneys fees, involved in the prosecution of any action or
proceeding. The other party jointly owning the patent allegedly infringed shall [**] under this Agreement [**]. 
  
 If, as to a jointly owned patent allegedly infringed by a third party, the party with the primary right to institute, prosecute and control any action or
proceeding fails to bring an action or proceeding within a period of ninety (90) days (i) after receiving written notice from the other party, or (ii) after otherwise having knowledge of that infringement, the other party shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to institute, prosecute, and control any action or proceeding with respect to such infringement by counsel of its own choice. In the event that the other party jointly owning the patent allegedly infringed so brings an action or
proceeding, [**] 
  

 21 








 If one party brings any action or proceeding, the other party agrees to be joined as a party plaintiff
and to give the first party reasonable assistance and authority to file and prosecute the suit. 
  
 No settlement or consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of a suit under this Section by one party which would adversely affect the
interests of the other party may be entered into without the joint consent of ICAgen and Lilly (which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably). 
  
 Article IX 
  
 Indemnification 
  
 Section 9.1. Indemnification. Lilly shall indemnify, defend and hold ICAgen harmless from and against any losses, claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may be

the part of ICAgen or its sublicensees, agents or employees. 
  
 ICAgen shall indemnify, defend and hold Lilly harmless from and against any losses, claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may be imposed upon or asserted against Lilly as a result of the
breach of this Agreement by ICAgen, or of the manufacture, use or sale of any Product by ICAgen, its authorized agents or sublicensees, except to the extent arising from willful misconduct on the part of Lilly or its sublicensees, agents or
employees. 
  
 Article X 
  
 Research Agreement 
  
 Section 10.1. Research Agreement. In areas where ICAgen has
demonstrated that it has proprietary technology, Lilly and ICAgen will negotiate in good faith (during the two (2) year period commencing on the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement or such longer period as may be determined by the Joint
Committee) to reach agreement on a mutually acceptable research and development collaboration in a narrowly defined area. The parties agree that either party or the Joint Committee may initiate negotiations, if appropriate, as provided for in this
Section. The failure of the parties to agree upon a mutually acceptable research agreement shall not be subject to binding arbitration pursuant to Section 12.14. 
  
 Article XI 
  
 Equipment 
  
 Section 11.1. Transfer of Equipment. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Date, the equipment shown on Appendix D (“Equipment”)
shall be transferred to ICAgen by Lilly (if so requested by ICAgen) without any charge therefor and transported to ICAgen’s facilities at Lilly’s cost. Within forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date of this Agreement, 
  

 22 








 Lilly shall determine whether there is any additional equipment at the offices of Sphinx that Lilly does not plan to use.
Lilly shall send a notice to ICAgen identifying such additional equipment, and if ICAgen wants to receive such additional equipment, Lilly shall transport it to ICAgen’s facilities at Lilly’s cost. In addition., if transferable, any
existing prepaid maintenance contracts entered into by Sphinx and relating to the Equipment shall be transferred to ICAgen. 
  
 Section 11.2. Condition of Equipment. The Equipment shall be in the condition as described in Appendix D, ordinary wear and tear excepted and good
and marketable title to the Equipment shall be transferred to ICAgen free of any liens, claims or encumbrances whatsoever. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE PREVIOUS SENTENCE, LILLY AND SPHINX MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE
EQUIPMENT OR ANY OTHER EQUIPMENT THAT MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO ICAGEN PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING
AND USAGE OF TRADE.

 Section 12.1. Adverse Drug Reactions. ICAgen and Lilly will
immediately inform each other of any serious, unexpected adverse drug reaction reports as to any Development Compound in clinical testing or as to any Product. 
  

Section 12.2. No Agency. It is understood and agreed that ICAgen shall have the status of an independent contractor under this Agreement and
that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as authorization for either party to act as agent for the other. Members of the Joint Committee shall be and shall remain employees of ICAgen or Lilly, as the case may be, and Lilly shall not incur
any liability for any act or failure to act by employees of ICAgen, including members of the Joint Committee who are employees of ICAgen. ICAgen shall not incur any liability for any act or failure to act by employees of Lilly, including members of
the Joint Committee who are employees of Lilly.
