Question: Consider the Collaborative Research, Development and Commercialization Agreement between Revolution Medicines, Inc. and Aventis, Inc. (Sanofi); Does this contract include any right of first refusal, right of first offer, or right of first negotiation?
Answer: Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, RevMed hereby grants to Sanofi an exclusive option, under the Patent Rights and Know-How claiming or embodied in the [***].
Sanofi may exercise its Option at any time during the Term by providing RevMed with written notice of such exercise
During the Term prior to the Option exercise by Sanofi, RevMed shall provide to Sanofi any additional information Controlled by RevMed that is reasonably requested by Sanofi in order to assist Sanofi in determining whether to exercise its Option. If Sanofi so exercises its Option pursuant to this Section 3.1(b)(ii), [***]. Upon Sanofi's exercise of the Option, [***] accordingly subject to the license granted to Sanofi under Section 3.1(a) and the payment obligations therefor pursuant to this Agreement.
If [***] (such determination, the "SHP1-SHP2 Dual Inhibitor Licensing Decision" and such Third Party's rights, the "SHP1-SHP2 Dual Inhibitor License Rights"), then prior to commencing any negotiations with any Third Party with regard to any SHP1-SHP2 Dual Inhibitor License Rights, RevMed shall promptly notify Sanofi in writing of such SHP1-SHP2 Dual Inhibitor Licensing Decision and provide to Sanofi a detailed summary of the data then in RevMed's Control regarding the relevant SHP1-SHP2 Dual Inhibitor. Sanofi shall notify RevMed in writing (a "Notice of Interest"), within [***] after Sanofi's receipt of such notice, if Sanofi desires to enter into negotiations with RevMed of the terms under which Sanofi would obtain SHP1-SHP2 Dual Inhibitor License Rights. If Sanofi provides a Notice of Interest to RevMed within [***], then (i) RevMed shall, upon request of Sanofi, provide Sanofi with reasonable access to all other then-existing Know-How in RevMed's Control that exists in either paper or electronic form and pertains to the relevant SHP1-SHP2 Dual Inhibitor and (ii) the Parties shall negotiate exclusively in good faith and on a commercially reasonable basis the terms of a definitive agreement under which Sanofi would be granted SHP1-SHP2 Dual Inhibitor License Rights for [***] after RevMed receives such Notice of Interest (such period, the "SHP1-SHP2 Dual Inhibitor Licensing Negotiation Period"). If Sanofi provides such Notice of Interest during [***], then RevMed shall not negotiate with any Third Party the terms under which such Third Party would obtain any development or commercialization rights with respect to a SHP1-SHP2 Dual Inhibitor during the SHP1-SHP2 Dual Inhibitor Licensing Negotiation Period. If (x) Sanofi does not provide a Notice of Interest within [***] or (y) Sanofi does provide a Notice of Interest within [***] but Parties have not entered into an agreement under which Sanofi is granted SHP1-SHP2 Dual Inhibitor License Rights prior to the expiration of the SHP1-SHP2 Dual Inhibitor Licensing Negotiation Period, then RevMed shall have no further obligations to Sanofi with respect to such SHP1-SHP2 Dual Inhibitor Products, and RevMed shall have the right to enter into negotiations and execute an agreement with a Third Party under which such Third Party is granted the SHP1-SHP2 Dual Inhibitor License Rights [***].
If RevMed wishes to exercise its one-time Co-Promotion Option, it shall so notify Sanofi in writing at least [***] prior to the anticipated launch of such Product in the Co-Promotion Territory. If (i) RevMed does not provide the above election notice in compliance with the requirements of this Section 8.7(b), or (ii) RevMed provides notice to Sanofi that it does not intend to exercise its one-time Co-Promotion Option, then RevMed shall be deemed to have waived such one-time right to co-promote any and all Products in the Co-Promotion Territory. For clarity, once RevMed has exercised its Co- Promotion Option pursuant to this Section 8.7(b), RevMed's right to co-promote Products shall apply to all other existing and subsequent Products in the Co-Promotion Territory.
Sanofi shall have the first right, but not the obligation, through counsel of its choosing, to negotiate and obtain a license with respect to such Third Party intellectual property right and shall provide RevMed with a copy of such license if it obtains such a license (to the extent permitted by the terms of such license, provided that Sanofi shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain such permission to provide such copy).
