2.2.1
	
Penn will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct the Research Program in accordance with the Research Plan and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Absent Licensee’s prior written consent to the contrary, the Wilson Laboratory will solely perform the work under the Research Program on behalf of Penn.  All personnel, contractors and others who participate in the conduct of the Research Program on behalf of Penn shall be bound by written agreements that contain 

9

*** Confidential Treatment Requested ***

 

 

	
 
		
confidentiality obligations that are at least as restrictive as the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Agreement and are consistent with the intellectual property assignment provisions set forth in this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, within each Subfield, Penn will be responsible for the completion of the Research Plan for the research and development work up to completion of IND enabling studies, including animal model development, and IND supporting preclinical work (toxicology and pharmacokinetics) of at least one (1) Development Candidate in each of the three (3) Subfields within the Field.  Penn shall be responsible through the Research Plan for the manufacture of research-grade vectors to support pre-clinical studies.  Licensee shall be responsible for the manufacture of the vectors for IND-enabling studies and Licensed Products in accordance with cGMP.  

	
 
	
2.2.2
	
The JSC shall review the Research Plan at least [...***...] per [...***...].  Subject to the limits set forth in Section 2.6.1(b)(v), the JSC may amend the Research Plan at any time, including amendments to include further activities, including corresponding revisions to the budget.  

	
 
	
2.2.3
	
Penn shall maintain records of the results of the Research Program in sufficient detail and in good scientific manner appropriate for patent and regulatory purposes to properly reflect all work done and results achieved.  Penn will provide task-based, scientific reports of the progress and results of the Research Program on the schedule specified in the Research Plan or on another schedule to be agreed in writing by the Parties.  Penn shall maintain records of the use of the funds provided by Licensee and shall make such records available to Licensee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement including Section 4.10.2. Within [...***...] after the [...***...] of the Research Program, Penn will provide Licensee with a written report setting forth the research conducted and results obtained which report shall include the items set forth on Schedule 2.2.3.  For a period of [...***...] after delivery of such written report, and at [...***...] sole cost and expense, Penn shall, through the Wilson Laboratory, provide reasonable technical assistance as Licensee may reasonably request to assist Licensee in connection with questions arising from such written report; provided, however, that such assistance shall not include performance of any additional activities that are not set forth in the Research Plan.     

	
 
	
2.2.4
	
Through the JSC, during the performance of activities under the applicable Research Plan, the Parties will discuss potential Development Candidates and seek to identify and mutually agree upon a Development Candidate for each Subfield arising out of the applicable Research Program.  [...***...].  

	
 
	
2.2.5
	
The Parties hereby acknowledge that there are inherent uncertainties involved in the research and development of products and such uncertainties form part of the business risk involved in undertaking the Research Program.  Accordingly, in the event that upon completion of the applicable Research Plan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and on a Subfield-by-Subfield basis, the Parties do not develop or identify a suitable candidate to propose as a Development Candidate, then the Research Program with respect to the relevant Subfield shall terminate, and Penn shall have no further obligations to Licensee under the Research Plan with respect to such Subfield.  

	
 
	
2.2.6
	
Each Party will have the right to engage Third Party subcontractors to perform certain of its obligations under this Agreement; provided that Penn’s right to engage Third Party 

10

*** Confidential Treatment Requested ***

 

 

	
 
		
subcontractors is subject to Licensee’s prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld.  Any subcontractor to be engaged by a Party to perform a Party’s obligations set forth in the Agreement will meet the qualifications typically required by such Party for the performance of work similar in scope and complexity to the subcontracted activity and will enter into such Party’s standard agreement for such activity consistent with such Party’s standard practices, subject to modifications to ensure that such agreement shall be as least as protective as the nondisclosure obligations and consistent with the assignment of intellectual property rights set forth herein.  Any Party engaging a subcontractor hereunder will remain responsible and obligated for such activities and will not grant rights to such subcontractor that interfere with the rights of the other Party under this Agreement.

	
 
	
2.2.7
	
In addition to the Research Plan, Penn shall provide to Licensee through the JSC the proposed constructs for a Drug Candidate such that the Parties may consider known freedom-to-operate issues related thereto.  For clarity, this Section 2.2.7 will not change the governance of the Research Program and does not require that Penn engage in a freedom-to-operate analysis with respect to any technology or intellectual property relating to a Drug Candidate or Penn’s performance of the Research Plan.

Penn’s receipt of a Sublicense Document, however, will constitute neither an approval nor disapproval of the Sublicense Document nor a waiver of any right of Penn or obligation of Licensee under this Agreement.  In the event Penn cannot, in its reasonable discretion, interpret the Sublicense Document due to the redacted information, Penn may request, and Licensee shall be obligated to provide to Penn counsel a copy of the unredacted Sublicense Document (other than any research and development plans included as an exhibit to such Sublicense Document).

(a)
	
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.3, in the event that Penn or Licensee receives a request for a Compulsory License anywhere in the world, it shall promptly notify the other Party.  If any Third Party obtains a Compulsory License in any country, then Penn or Licensee (whoever has first notice) shall promptly notify the other Party.  Thereafter, as of the date the Third Party obtained such Compulsory License in such country, the royalty rate payable under this Section 4.3 to Penn for Net Sales in such country will be adjusted to equal any lower royalty rate granted to such Third Party for such country with respect to the Sales of such Licensed Product therein.

For clarity, the foregoing does not include the Patent Rights licensed under the Existing REGENXBIO Agreements.

(ii)Licensee may deduct from any royalty payments due to Penn under Section 4.3.1 of this Agreement an amount equal to: (1) [...***...], and (2) [...***...] (the “Anti-Stacking Percentage”) of any Royalty paid by Licensee to a Third Party on sales of a particular Licensed Product in a particular country during a [...***...] under (a) a Third Party license obtained by Licensee pursuant to Section 4.3.3(b)(i), or (b) [...***...]; provided that in no event will the deductions under this Section 4.3.3(b) reduce the Royalty payable in respect of Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country by more than [...***...] (the “Maximum Anti-Stacking Reduction”) of the Royalty as set forth in Section 4.3.1 above; provided, however, that such excess reductions may be carried forward into future payment periods if excluded by such Maximum Anti-Stacking Reduction percentage.  

(iii)Within [...***...] days after the end of [...***...], Penn shall disclose to Licensee all amounts received by Penn [...***...] (the “[...***...]  Adjustment”).

Licensee will provide Penn all relevant documents and correspondence, and will also provide to Penn any other cooperation or assistance on a reasonable basis as may be necessary to enable Penn to claim exemption from such withholding taxes and to receive a refund of such withholding tax or claim a foreign tax credit.  Licensee will give proper evidence from time to time as to the payment of any such tax.  The Parties will cooperate with each other in seeking deductions under any double taxation or other similar treaty or agreement from time to time in force.  Such cooperation may include Licensee making payments from a single source in the U.S., where possible.

Ownership.

	
 
	
6.1.1
	
Penn will retain all right, title and interest in and to the Penn Intellectual Property and any patents, copyrights, software and tangible research materials and other intellectual property related thereto, subject to the rights and licenses of Licensee set forth herein.  Licensee will retain all right, title and interest in and to all Know-How, patent rights and other intellectual property rights conceived, developed or created by employees or consultants of Licensee under this Agreement or otherwise; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee shall assign and hereby assigns, transfers and conveys all right, title and interest in any Research Program Patent Right containing any claim or claims that were invented (solely or jointly) by employees or consultants of Licensee under this Agreement to Penn, including all intellectual property rights thereto (“Joint Research Program Patent Rights”).    

	
 
	
6.1.2
	
Improvements.  Notwithstanding Section 6.1.1, any Improvements conceived, developed or created solely by employees or consultants of Licensee shall be jointly owned by the Parties, and Licensee shall assign and hereby assigns, transfers and conveys a one-half, undivided, right, title and interest in such Improvements to Penn, including all intellectual property rights thereto. Subject to the rights and licenses of Licensee set forth herein, each Party is entitled to practice, use and otherwise exploit all Improvements and Improvement Patent Rights for all purposes on a worldwide basis without consent of and without a duty of accounting to the other Party, and each Party will grant and hereby does grant such consents and will execute documents as necessary to accomplish the foregoing. 

	
 
	
6.1.3
	
Cooperation.  Upon the reasonable request of Penn, Licensee shall execute and deliver any and all instruments and documents and take such other acts as may be necessary or desirable to document the assignment and transfer described in Sections 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 or to enable Penn to secure its rights in the Joint Research Program Patent Rights, Improvements and Improvement Patent Rights, and other intellectual property rights in Joint Research Program Patent Rights, Improvements in any and all jurisdictions.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall disclose to the other Party all pertinent information and data with respect thereto and shall execute all applications, specifications, oaths and all other instruments which Penn reasonably deems necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and convey to Penn (a) sole right, title and interest in and to such Joint Research Program Patent Rights and (b) joint right, title and interest in and to such Improvement and all intellectual property rights thereto.

	
 
	
6.1.4
	
Non-Exclusive License.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 3.1.1, Penn hereby grants Licensee a non-exclusive, perpetual, fully paid-up, royalty-free, irrevocable, fully sublicenseable (through multiple tiers) license under the Joint Research Program Patent Rights to practice, use and otherwise exploit such Joint Research Program Patent Right throughout the world in all fields (including the Field) without consent of and without a duty of accounting to Penn.  Penn will execute documents as necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 

28

*** Confidential Treatment Requested ***

 

 

	
 
		
license grant within the Field for such Joint Research Program Patent Rights shall at all times during the Royalty Period be royalty-bearing. 

	
6.2
	
Patent Filing Prosecution and Maintenance.

	
 
	
6.2.1
	
Penn Patent Rights will be held in the name of Penn; provided that [...***...].  Penn Patent Rights shall be obtained with counsel selected by Penn and reasonably acceptable to Licensee (“Patent Counsel”).  Upon [...***...] written request, [...***...] shall file, prosecute and maintain in accordance with the terms of this Agreement one or more patent applications claiming solely one or more Licensed Products.  [...***...] shall control all actions and decisions with respect to the filing, prosecution and maintenance of Penn Patent Rights and will [...***...] will instruct Patent Counsel to copy [...***...] on all correspondence related to Penn Patent Rights (including copies of each patent application, office action, response to office action, request for terminal disclaimer, and request for reissue or reexamination of any patent or patent application) and to interact with Licensee with respect to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of Penn Patent Rights.  [...***...] has the right to take action to preserve rights and minimize cost whether or not [...***...] has commented, and will use reasonable efforts to not allow any Penn Patent Right for which Licensee is licensed and is underwriting the costs to lapse or become abandoned without Licensee’s written authorization under this Agreement, except for filing of continuations, divisionals, or the like that substitute for the lapsed application, provided that, and without limiting Section 6.2.3, [...***...] shall have no requirement to file, prosecute, or maintain Penn Patent Rights if Licensee is not current with the Patent Cost obligations as set forth in this Agreement and Licensee does not cure any lapse with respect Patent Cost obligations within [...***...] of receiving written notice thereof.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “maintenance” of the Penn Patent Rights includes interference proceedings, re-examinations, inter parties patent review proceedings before the USPTO or a similar patent administration outside the US (including opposition proceedings at the EPO).  For further clarity, validity challenges raised in infringement litigation will be handled per Section 6.4.  In the event that [...***...] is being enforced against an infringer in a suit [...***...] and such [...***...] is also subject to an interference proceeding, re-examination, inter parties patent review proceeding before the USPTO or a similar patent administration outside the US (including an opposition proceeding at the EPO) at the same time as the suit, then [...***...]; provided however, that such action [...***...].

	
 
	
6.2.2
	
[...***...] has the right to request a country filing via a written request to [...***...]  prior to the deadline set by the patent office in the territory in which filing is to take place (“Prosecution Request”).  [...***...] will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to keep [...***...] reasonably informed of the foreign patent application filing deadlines for jurisdictions identified by [...***...].  The absence of a given Prosecution Request by such deadline will be considered an election not to secure the Patent Rights associated with the specific phase of patent prosecution in such territory, and such patent application(s) and patent(s) (“Carve-Out Patent Rights”) will not be part of Penn Patent Rights and therefore not subject to this Agreement, including the License, and [...***...] will have no further rights or license to them. 

	
 
	
6.2.3
	
Licensee may terminate its obligations with respect to any given Penn Patent Right in any or all designated countries upon [...***...] written notice to Penn, at which time Licensee will have no obligation to pay patent costs in connection therewith.  Penn will use its best 

29

*** Confidential Treatment Requested ***

 

 

	
 
		
efforts to curtail patent costs if the Parties agree to cease prosecuting such Patent Rights.  Penn may continue prosecution and/or maintenance of such applications or patents at its sole discretion and expense; provided, however, that such applications (s) and patent(s) will be Carve-Out Patent Rights and will not be part of Penn Patent Rights and therefore not subject to this Agreement, including the License, and Licensee will have no further rights or license to them; provided, for clarity, that Licensee shall continue to hold any joint ownership interest in the Improvement Patent Rights in which Licensee has such a joint ownership interest.   

	
 
	
6.2.4
	
In the event that Penn elects not to file, prosecute or maintain (or continue to do so) any Research Program Patent Rights or Improvement Patent Rights, Penn will notify Licensee at least [...***...] before any such Patent Right would become abandoned or forfeited, and Licensee shall have the right (but not the obligation), at Licensee’s sole discretion, and sole responsibility for all applicable costs, to file, prosecute and maintain such Patent Right in the name of Penn (which right will include the right to file additional Patent Rights claiming priority to such Patent Right); provided, however, that Licensee shall have no step-in right with respect to such Research Program Patent Rights (other than Product Specific Patent Rights) in the event that Penn notifies Licensee that it did not wish to pursue such Research Program Patent Right (other than Product Specific Patent Rights) for strategic reasons.  

	
 
	
6.2.5
	
Patent Term Extensions.  Penn will have the exclusive right to decide whether to elect and file for patent term restoration or extension, supplemental protection certificate or any of their equivalents with respect to Background Patent Rights and Research Program Patents in the Territory, the Parties will mutually decide whether to elect and file for patent term restoration or extension, supplemental protection certificate or any of their equivalents with respect to Improvement Patent Rights in the Territory, and Licensee will have the exclusive right to decide whether to elect and file for patent term restoration or extension, supplemental protection certificate or any of their equivalents with respect to Product Specific Patent Rights in the Territory and shall direct Penn regarding such filings with respect to Product Specific Patent Rights. Penn will cooperate and follow all instructions received from Licensee with respect to electing and filing for such restoration or extension, supplemental protection certificate or the equivalent of any of the foregoing for Product Specific Patent Rights.  For clarity, only Licensee through directing Penn (as provided herein) will have the right to seek or obtain any patent term restoration or extension, supplemental protection certificate or any of their equivalents based on a Licensed Product for such Product Specific Patent Rights.

	
6.3
	
Patent Costs.

	
 
	
6.3.1
	
Licensee will reimburse Penn for all documented out-of pocket costs incurred on or after the Effective Date by Penn for the filing, prosecution and maintenance of Penn Patent Rights, including attorney fees, expenses, official and filing fees (“Patent Costs”) within [...***...] of receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice for such costs; provided, however, that Licensee’s obligation with respect to Patent Costs relating to Background Patent Rights shall commence only after such Background Patent Right is included in an amendment to this Agreement and shall be an obligation on Licensee from the amendment effective date onward and solely with respect to Patent Costs incurred on or after such date.  In the event that Penn licenses any Penn Patent Right in a field separate from the Field to a Third Party, Penn will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain 

30

*** Confidential Treatment Requested ***

 

 

	
 
		
from such Third Party a pro-rata portion of the relevant historical costs previously incurred (which amount will be offset from Licensee’s Patent Costs obligation), and upon execution of such Third Party license agreement, Licensee’s ongoing Patent Cost obligation will be a pro-rata portion of such Patent Costs. 

	
 
	
6.3.2
	
At any time, at Penn’s request, Licensee shall pay in advance the Patent Counsel’s estimated costs for undertaking material patent actions before Penn authorizes the Patent Counsel to proceed (“Advance Payment”).

	
6.4
	
Infringement.

	
 
	
6.4.1
	
If either Party believes that an infringement by a Third Party with respect to any Penn Patent Right is occurring or may potentially occur, the knowledgeable Party will provide the other Party with (a) written notice of such infringement or potential infringement and (b) evidence of such infringement or potential infringement (the “Infringement Notice”).  

	
 
	
6.4.2
	
As between the Parties, [...***...] will have the first right, under its sole control and at [...***...] expense, to institute suit against an infringer asserting patent infringement of any [...***...].  If required by law, [...***...] will permit any action under this Section 6.4.2 to be brought in its name, including being joined as a party-plaintiff, provided that [...***...] will reimburse [...***...] for its documented out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such action.  [...***...] will have the right to settle any such action with [...***...] consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  For clarity, [...***...].  In the event that [...***...] provides an Infringement Notice to Licensee regarding an infringement of [...***...] in the Field and [...***...] does not within [...***...] of receipt of such notice abate the infringement or file suit to enforce such Product Specific Patent Right or Improvement Patent Right, then [...***...] shall have the right to take any action reasonably appropriate to enforce such Product Specific Patent Right or Improvement Patent Right. 

	
 
	
6.4.3
	
As between the Parties, [...***...] will have the first right, under its sole control and at [...***...] expense, to institute suit against an infringer asserting patent infringement of any [...***...] other than [...***...] (which are addressed by Section 6.4.2), in the Field.  In the event that [...***...] provides an Infringement Notice to [...***...] regarding an infringement of such [...***...] in the Field and [...***...] does not within [...***...] of receipt of such notice abate the infringement or file suit to enforce such [...***...], then [...***...] shall have the right to take any action reasonably appropriate to enforce such [...***...]; provided, however, that [...***...] shall have no enforcement step-in right with respect to such [...***...] in the event that [...***...] notifies [...***...] that it did not wish to pursue such [...***...] for strategic reasons.

	
 
	
6.4.4
	
As between the Parties, [...***...] will have the sole and exclusive right, under its sole control and at [...***...] expense, to institute suit against an infringer asserting patent infringement of any [...***...] outside the Field.  [...***...] will have the right to settle any such action without [...***...] consent other than pursuant to a settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary final disposition which imposes obligations on [...***...] beyond those set forth herein, or which invalidates or restricts [...***...] which will require the prior written consent of [...***...] (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  Except as otherwise expressly set forth above, any enforcement of [...***...] and [...***...] will be subject to further agreement of the Parties.

31

*** Confidential Treatment Requested ***

 

 

	
 
	
6.4.5
	
Any recovery or settlement received in connection with any suit will first be [...***...] to cover [...***...] and next shall be paid to [...***...] to cover [...***...].  Any remaining recoveries shall be allocated as follows:

	
 
	
(a)
	
for any suit that is initiated by [...***...] with respect to infringement of any Research Program Patent Right in the Field, Penn shall receive [...***...] of the recovery (other than [...***...]) and the Licensee shall receive [...***...]; 

	
 
	
(b)
	
for any suit that is initiated by [...***...] with respect to infringement of any Background Patent Right or Research Program Patent Right, Penn shall receive [...***...] of the recovery; and 

	
 
	
(c)
	
for any portion of the recovery or settlement [...***...], (a) for a suit that is initiated by [...***...] and [...***...] voluntarily joins such suit, then [...***...], and (b) for any suit that is initiated by [...***...] and [...***...] is not a party to the litigation, Penn shall receive [...***...] and Licensee shall receive [...***...].

	
 
	
6.4.6
	
Each Party will reasonably cooperate and assist with the other in litigation proceedings instituted hereunder but the Party who initiated the suit shall reimburse the cooperating party for documented out-of-pocket expenses with respect to such cooperation.  For clarity, such requirement does not require a Party to join a suit unless otherwise specifically required under this Agreement.  If Penn is subjected to third party discovery related to the Research Program Patent Rights or Licensed Products, Licensee will pay Penn’s reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses with respect to same.

	
6.5
	
Patent Marking.  Licensee shall place in a conspicuous location on any Licensed Product (or its packaging where appropriate and practicable) made or sold under this Agreement a patent notice in accordance with the Laws concerning the marking of patented articles where such Licensed Product is made or sold, as applicable.

Article 7
CONFIDENTIALITY& PUBLICATION

	
7.1
	
Confidential Information.  Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to limit the disclosure of Confidential Information hereunder to the information that is required to be disclosed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and that is reasonably necessary for either Party to fulfill its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement.  Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties agree that, during the Term and for [...***...] thereafter, the receiving Party (the “Receiving Party”) and its Affiliates will keep confidential and will not publish or otherwise disclose or use for any purpose, other than as necessary to satisfy obligations or exercise rights under this Agreement, any confidential or proprietary information or materials, patentable or otherwise, in any form (written, oral, photographic, electronic, magnetic, or otherwise), including trade secrets, Know-How, inventions or discoveries, proprietary information, formulae, processes, techniques and information relating to the past, present and future marketing, financial, and research and development activities of any product or potential product or useful technology of the Disclosing Party or its Affiliates and the pricing thereof (collectively, “Confidential Information”), which is disclosed by or on behalf of such Party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the Receiving Party or its Affiliates or otherwise received or accessed by a Receiving Party in the course of performing its obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement.

7.2
	
Exceptions to Confidentiality.  “Confidential Information” does not include information that (a) was in the lawful knowledge and possession of the Receiving Party or its Affiliates prior to the time it was disclosed to, or learned by, the Receiving Party or its Affiliates, or was otherwise developed independently by the Receiving Party or its Affiliates, as evidenced by written records kept in the ordinary course of business, or other documentary proof of actual use by the Receiving Party or its Affiliates; (b) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the Receiving Party or its Affiliates, as evidenced by written records of the Receiving Party or its Affiliates; (c) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure and other than through any act or omission of the Receiving Party or its Affiliates in breach of this Agreement; or (d) was disclosed to the Receiving Party or its Affiliates, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, by a Third Party who had no obligation to the Disclosing Party or its Affiliates not to disclose such information to others.  In the event a Party is required to make a disclosure under Law or regulation, the order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or the rules of the U.S.  Securities and Exchange Commission (including by reason of any securities offering by Licensee), any stock exchange or listing entity, the Receiving Party shall provide prompt prior written notice to the Disclosing Party and take all reasonable steps (including cooperating with the Disclosing Party in seeking to secure confidential treatment of, or otherwise limit, such Confidential Information required to be disclosed) to limit the extent of the disclosure and obtain confidential treatment for any remaining required disclosure.

	
7.3
	
Penn Intellectual Property.  In order to preserve the patentability of Penn intellectual property and to preserve Penn’s publication rights, Licensee shall maintain Penn Patent Rights, Research Results and information provided pursuant to the Research Program (whether oral or written) as confidential and shall not disclose such information to any Third Party until the publication of such information by Penn or until Penn provides Licensee with written verification that all desirable patentable inventions have been protected, whichever occurs sooner.

	
7.4
	
Publications.  Penn shall have the first right to publish, present or otherwise disclose Research Results or other information and material resulting from the Research Program for any purpose.  Penn shall furnish the Licensee with a copy of any proposed publication or presentation at least [...***...] in advance of the date of such presentation or the submission of said proposed publication in order for Licensee to review and comment on said proposed publication or presentation to (a) determine whether such contains any Licensee Confidential Information and (b) enable Licensee to identify any Penn intellectual property that it wishes Penn to file patent applications on or to seek other intellectual property protection for.  If within the [...***...] review period (i) Licensee notifies Penn that the Licensee requires deletion from the publication or presentation of Licensee Confidential Information, the Parties will cooperate to modify the disclosure to ensure Licensee Confidential Information is not disclosed or (ii) if Licensee requests that publication or presentation be delayed to allow for patent filings or other intellectual property protection on certain items in the proposed publication or presentation, Penn shall delay the publication or presentation for up to [...***...], subject to reasonable extension as mutually agreed upon by the Parties, to allow for the filing of patent applications or other intellectual property protection.

	
7.5
	
Other Permitted Disclosures.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, either Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party to (a)  its Affiliates, and to its and their directors, employees, consultants, agents, licensees, sublicensees, collaborators, subcontractors, potential or actual investors, acquirers or merger partners (each a “Representative”) in each case who have a need to know such Confidential Information, are bound by commercially reasonable

(d)
	
any enforcement action or suit brought by Licensee against a Third Party for infringement of Research Program Patent Rights;

provided that Licensee’s obligations pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall not apply to the extent such claims or suits result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of Penn Indemnitees.

	
 
	
9.1.2
	
As a condition to a Penn Indemnitee’s right to receive indemnification under this Section 9.1, Penn shall: (a) promptly notify Licensee as soon as it becomes aware of a claim or suit for which indemnification may be sought pursuant hereto; (b) reasonably cooperate, and cause the individual Penn Indemnitees to reasonably cooperate, with Licensee in the defense, settlement or compromise of such claim or suit; and (c) permit the Licensee to control the defense, settlement or compromise of such claim or suit, including the right to select defense counsel.

Be issued by an insurance carrier with an A.M.  Best rating of “A” or better;

	
 
	
(b)

(c)
	
State that Penn is endorsed as an additional insured with respect to the coverages in Section 9.2.1; and

	
 
	
(d)
	
Include a provision that the coverages will be primary and will not participate with nor will be excess over any valid and collective insurance or program of self insurance carried or maintained by Penn.

	
 
	
9.2.4
	
Licensee must furnish to Penn with (a) valid certificate of insurance evidencing compliance with all requirements of this Agreement and (b) additional insured endorsements for Licensee’s applicable policies naming “The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania” as an additional insured.  Licensee must furnish both documents within [...***...] of the Effective Date, up to [...***...] thereafter upon Penn’s request and at any time there is a material modification in such insurance.

	
9.3
	
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR ANY BREACH HEREOF.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL LIMIT LICENSEE’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 9.1 ABOVE.

*** Confidential Treatment Requested ***

 

 

		
Licensed Product, whereupon the licenses  set forth in Section 3.1.1 and Section 3.1.2 (other than licenses under Research Program Know-How (including the Program Data) and Penn Materials), in each case, in such country for such Licensed Product will become perpetual, irrevocable and fully paid-up for such Subfield.

	
10.2
	
Termination of the Agreement for Convenience.  At any time during the Term, Licensee may, at its convenience, terminate this Agreement, or any Subfields within the Field, upon providing at least [...***...] prior written notice to Penn of such intention to terminate. 

	
10.3
	
Termination For Cause.

	
 
	
10.3.1
	
If Licensee fails to fulfill its obligations under Section 5.5 (i.e.  use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to develop and commercialize a Licensed Product in each Subfield), Penn may provide written notice to Licensee of such failure.  If Licensee fails to address such failure to the reasonable satisfaction of Penn within [...***...] of receiving such written notice, Penn may terminate this Agreement with respect to the relevant Subfield(s) upon written notice to Licensee.

	
 
	
10.3.2
	
If either Party materially breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, the non-breaching Party may give to the breaching Party a written notice specifying the nature of the default, requiring the breaching Party to cure such breach, and stating the non-breaching Party’s intention to terminate this Agreement.  If such breach is not cured within [...***...] of such notice, such termination shall become effective with respect to the relevant Subfield(s) upon a notice of termination by the terminating Party thereafter.  

	
 
	
10.3.3
	
In addition to all other remedies available to it, Penn may terminate this Agreement with respect to the relevant Subfield(s), upon written notice, subject to the cure provisions set forth in Section 10.3.2, upon a breach of Section 8.3, Covenants of Licensee.

	
 
	
10.3.4
	
Either Party may terminate this Agreement, upon written notice, with immediate effect if, at any time, the other Party is unable to pay its debts, including any debts related to exclusive sublicensees, when they come due, or files in any court or agency pursuant to any statute or regulation of any state, country or jurisdiction, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for an arrangement or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of such Party or of its assets, or if such Party proposes a written agreement of composition or extension of its debts, or if such Party is served with an involuntary petition against it, filed in any insolvency proceeding, and such petition is not dismissed within [...***...] after the filing thereof, or if such Party proposes or is a party to any dissolution or liquidation, or if such Party makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors of all or substantially all its assets (in each case, “Bankruptcy Action”).

	
10.4
	
Effects of Termination.

	
 
	
10.4.1
	
Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, the following provisions shall survive: Sections 2.3.3, 6.1.2, 6.1.3, 6.1.4, 6.2 (solely with respect to Improvement Patent Rights), 6.3 (solely with respect to Improvement Patent Rights), 8.2, 10.1 and 10.4 and Articles 1, 4, 7, 9 and 11.  Further, if this Agreement is terminated by Licensee due to a material breach by Penn under Section 10.3.2, the provisions of Sections 2.2.3, 3.6 and 3.7.1 shall survive, and Section 3.7.2 shall survive for a period of [...***...] after such 

38

*** Confidential Treatment Requested ***

 

 

	
 
		
termination notwithstanding the time period set forth therein.  All other provisions set forth in this Agreement shall terminate upon termination of this Agreement.   

	
 
	
10.4.2
	
Notwithstanding the expiration of this Agreement, the following provisions shall survive: Sections 2.2.3, 2.3.3, 3.2, 3.3, 3.6, 3.7.1, 3.7.2, 6.1, 6.2 (solely with respect to Improvement Patent Rights), 6.3 (solely with respect to Improvement Patent Rights), 8.2, 10.1 and 10.4 and Articles 1, 4, 7, 9 and 11.  All other provisions set forth in this Agreement shall terminate upon expiration of this Agreement.   

	
 
	
10.4.3
	
Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation or liability that, at the time of termination or expiration, has already accrued hereunder, or which is attributable to a period prior to the effective date of such termination or expiration.  Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at Law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement nor prejudice either Party’s right to obtain performance of any obligation.  

	
 
	
10.4.4
	
If this Agreement is terminated by Penn pursuant to Section 10.3, at the option of each relevant Sublicensee, all outstanding Sublicenses (including all Sublicense Documents for each Sublicense) pertaining solely to the terminated Subfield(s) that are not in default will be assigned by Licensee to Penn (the scope of such assignment shall be limited to the provisions of the Sublicense Documents pertaining to a Sublicense, Penn Patent Rights or Licensed Product), and such assignment will be accepted by Penn; provided, however, that such sublicense agreement shall comply with the terms of Section 3.4.  Each assigned Sublicense will remain in full force and effect with Penn as the licensor or sublicensor instead of Licensee, but the duties and obligations of Penn under the assigned Sublicenses will not be greater than the duties of Penn under this Agreement, and the rights of Penn under the assigned Sublicenses will not be less than the rights of Penn under this Agreement, including all financial consideration and other rights of Penn.  Penn may, at its sole discretion, amend such outstanding Sublicenses to contain the terms and conditions found in this Agreement.  

	
 
	
10.4.5
	
Within [...***...] of termination of this Agreement with respect to any Subfield (other than termination by Licensee pursuant to Section 10.3.2 or 10.3.4), Licensee shall pay Penn all costs not previously paid and attributable solely to the terminated Subfield(s) through the effective termination date per the budget of the Research Plan for services performed by, or on behalf of, Penn,  as well as all commitments related to the performance of the Research Plan for such Subfield(s) that are reflected in the budget (i.e., [...***...] until the earlier of (a) [...***...] of termination of this Agreement and (b) [...***...]; and subject to Penn’s written notification to Licensee and Licensee’s acknowledgement of [...***...], as applicable.  

	
 
	
10.4.6
	
Upon termination, but not expiration, of this Agreement, the licenses granted herein shall immediately terminate and Licensee, its Affiliates and Sublicensees (subject to Section 10.4.4), will promptly cease selling the Licensed Product(s) subject to such termination.  Each  Party will return (or destroy, as directed by the other Party) all data, files, records and other materials containing or comprising the other Party’s Confidential Information with respect to this Agreement, except to the extent such Confidential Information is necessary or useful to conduct activities in connection with surviving portions of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties will be permitted to retain one 

39

copy of such data, files, records, and other materials for archival and legal compliance purposes.

	
10.5
	
Tolling.  The Parties agree that all applicable statutes of limitation and time-based defenses (such as estoppel and laches), will be tolled once the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 11.10 have been initiated and for so long as they are pending, and the Parties will cooperate in taking all actions reasonably necessary to achieve such a result.
