Amended and Restated Patent License Agreement

Agreement No. PM1401501

This Amended and Restated Patent License Agreement (“Patent License Agreement”) is between the Licensor and the Licensee identified below (collectively, “Parties”, or singly, “Party”).

Background

Licensor owns or controls Patent Rights. Licensee desires to secure the right and license to use, develop, manufacture, market, and commercialize the Patent Rights. Licensor has determined that such use, development, and commercialization of the Patent Rights is in the public’s best interest and is consistent with Licensor’s educational and research missions and goals. Licensor desires to have the Patent Rights developed and used for the benefit of Licensee, the inventors, Licensor, and the public.

Licensor has previously entered into two separate license agreements with subsidiaries of Aeglea BioTherapeutics, Inc. (“Aeglea”). These license agreements are between Licensor and AECase, LLC (PM1401501), and AEMase, LLC (PM140161), respectively, both effective December 24, 2013 (the “Prior Agreements”). Licensor and Aeglea wish to amend certain terms of the Prior Agreements and to combine the two Prior Agreements into this single Amended and Restated Patent License Agreement. This Amended and Restated Patent License Agreement will amend, restate, and supersede the Prior Agreements in all respects.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and premises herein contained, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

The terms and conditions of this Patent License Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety (the “Terms and Conditions”). In the event of a conflict between provisions of this Patent License Agreement and the Terms and Conditions, the provisions in this Patent License Agreement shall govern. Unless defined in this Patent License Agreement, capitalized terms used in this Patent License Agreement shall have the meanings given to them in the Terms and Conditions.

The section numbers used in the left hand column in the table below correspond to the section numbers in the Terms and Conditions.

Any failure to so pay said consideration shall not entitle Licensee to make a later delayed payment during any default cure period that is otherwise specified in this Agreement for curing other defaults.

All amounts referred to in the Patent License Agreement are expressed in U.S. dollars without deductions for taxes, assessments, fees, or charges of any kind. Each payment will reference the agreement number set forth at the beginning of the Patent License Agreement. All payments to Licensor will be made in U.S. dollars by check or wire transfer (Licensee to pay all wire transfer fees) payable to the payee identified in Section 18 of the Patent License Agreement and sent to the payment and reporting contact in Section 18 (Notices) of the Patent License Agreement.

If any currency conversion shall be required in connection with the calculation of payments hereunder, such conversion shall be made using the rate used by Licensee for its financial reporting purposes in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (or foreign equivalent) or, in the absence of such rate, using the average of the buying and selling exchange rate for conversion between the foreign currency and U.S. Dollars, for current transactions as reported in The Wall Street Journal on the last business days of the Contract Quarter to which such payment pertains. Licensee may not make any tax withholdings from payments to Licensor, but Licensor agrees to supply to Licensee, upon written request, appropriate evidence from appropriate U.S. governmental agencies showing that Licensor is a resident of the United States of America for purposes of the U.S. income tax laws and is tax-exempt under such income tax laws.

Undisputed amounts that are not paid when due will accrue a late charge from the due date until paid, at a rate equal to 1.0% per month (or the maximum allowed by law, if less).

For a period of four years after the Contract Quarter to which the records pertain, Licensee agrees that it and its Affiliates and Sublicensees will each keep complete and accurate records of their Net Product Sales, Milestone Fees, and Non-Royalty Sublicensing Consideration in sufficient detail to enable such payments to be determined and audited.

Licensee and its Affiliates will permit an independent certified public accountant designated by Licensor and approved in writing by Licensee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), at Licensor’s expense, to examine

books, ledgers, and records relating solely to amounts payable hereunder, during regular business hours, at Licensee’s or its Affiliate’s place of business, on at least thirty (30) days advance notice, to the extent necessary to verify any payment required under the Agreement. For each Sublicensee, Licensee shall obtain such audit rights for Licensor or itself. If Licensee obtains such audit rights for itself, it will promptly conduct an audit of the Sublicensee’s records upon Licensor’s request and at Licensor’s expense, and Licensee will furnish to Licensor a copy of the findings from such audit. No more than one audit of Licensee, each Affiliate, and each Sublicensee shall be conducted under this Section 5.5 in any calendar year. If any amounts due Licensor have been underpaid, then Licensee shall immediately pay Licensor the amount of such underpayment plus accrued interest due in accordance with Section 5.3. If the amount of underpayment is equal to or greater than 5% of the total amount due for the records so examined, Licensee will pay the cost of such audit. Such audits may, if mutually agreed upon in writing by Licensor and Licensee, consist of a self-audit conducted by Licensee at Licensor’s expense and certified in writing by an authorized officer of Licensee. If the amounts due Licensor have been overpaid, the balance of overpayment shall be credited toward the next payment of monies owed Licensor. All information examined pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall be deemed to be the Confidential Information of the Licensee.

Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for all past documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Licensor for filing, prosecuting, enforcing, defending and maintaining Patent Rights and related patent searches through the Effective Date of the Agreement, including those identified in Section 3.1(a) of the Patent License Agreement, and all such future expenses incurred by Licensor, for so long as, and in such countries as the Agreement remains in effect. Licensee will reimburse such patent expenses, within thirty (30) days after Licensee’s receipt of an invoice, with such payment being made either directly to Prosecution Counsel or to Licensor, as elected by Licensor in writing on or before the date of the applicable invoice. Patent expense payment delinquencies (whether owed directly to Prosecution Counsel or to Licensor) that are not in dispute in good faith will be considered a payment default under Section 7.3(a).

Licensor will apply for, prosecute, and maintain during the term of this Agreement, the Patent Rights in the United States and in the foreign countries listed in Schedule 6.2 hereto. Licensor will confer with Licensee to develop a strategy for the prosecution and maintenance of Patent Rights. Licensor will request that copies of all documents prepared by the Prosecution Counsel for submission to governmental patent offices be provided to Licensee for review and comment prior to filing, to the extent practicable under the circumstances.

Licensee will be given reasonable opportunities to advise Licensor in the filing, prosecution, and maintenance of Patent Rights. At Licensee’s request, and reasonably in advance of any filing, fee, or other action deadlines, Licensee shall be provided with copies of all prosecution documents relating to Patent Rights so that Licensee may have the opportunity to offer comments and remarks thereon, such comments and remarks to be given due consideration by Licensor. At its discretion, Licensor may allow Licensee to instruct Prosecution Counsel directly, provided, that (a) Licensor will maintain final authority in all decisions regarding the prosecution and maintenance of the Patent Rights, (b) Licensor may revoke this authorization to instruct Prosecution Counsel directly at any time, and (c) the Prosecution Counsel remains counsel to the Licensor with an appropriate contract (and shall not jointly represent Licensee unless requested by Licensee and approved by Licensor, and an appropriate engagement letter and conflict waiver are in effect). If Licensee wishes to instruct Prosecution Counsel directly or change Prosecution Counsel, Licensee may request to do so by following the Licensor’s procedures for such. Licensor reserves in its sole discretion the ability to change Prosecution Counsel and to approve or disapprove any requested changes by Licensee. The Parties agree that they share a common legal interest to get valid enforceable patents and that Licensee will maintain as privileged all information received pursuant to this Section.

All patent applications and patents will be in the name of Licensor (and any co-owner identified in Section 1 of the Patent License Agreement) and owned by Licensor (and such co-owner, if any). No payments due under the Patent License Agreement will be reduced solely as the result of co-ownership interests in the Patent Rights by Licensee or any other party.

If Licensee wishes to pursue patent protection in countries other than the U.S., and the foreign countries listed in Schedule 6.2 hereto, then (i) Licensee shall notify Licensor in writing, subject to applicable bar dates, of such foreign countries in sufficient time to reasonably enable the preparation of such additional filings, (ii) Licensor will apply for, prosecute, and maintain during the term of this Agreement, the Patent Rights in such foreign countries, and (iii) Schedule 6.2 shall be automatically amended to include such foreign countries. If Licensee notifies Licensor in writing that it does not choose to pursue patent rights in a particular foreign country and Licensor chooses to do so, Licensor shall so notify Licensee and thereafter said patent application or patent shall no longer be included in the Patent Rights and Licensee shall have no further rights thereto.

If at any time Licensee wishes to cease paying for any costs for a particular Patent Right or for patent prosecution in a particular jurisdiction, Licensee must give

Licensor at least ninety (90) days prior written notice and Licensee will continue to be obligated to pay for the patent costs which reasonably accrue during said notice period. Thereafter, said patent application or patent shall no longer be included in the Patent Rights and Licensee shall have no further rights thereto.

Licensee represents that as of the Effective Date the entity size status of Licensee in accordance with the regulations of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is as set forth in Section 1 of the Patent License Agreement. Licensee will inform Licensor in writing on a timely basis of any change in its U.S. Patent and Trademark Office entity size status.

Unless earlier terminated as provided herein, the term of the Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and continue on a country-by-country and Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, until the expiration of the Royalty Term for a particular Licensed Product in a particular country (with the entire Agreement expiring on the expiration of the last-to-expire Royalty Term).

Licensee, at its option, may terminate the Agreement by providing Licensor written notice of intent to terminate, which such termination effective will be ninety (90) days following receipt of such notice by Licensor.

Licensor, at its option, may immediately terminate the Agreement, or any part of Patent Rights, or any part of Field, or any part of Territory, or the exclusive nature of the license grant, upon delivery of written notice to Licensee of Licensor’s decision to terminate, if any of the following occur:

Licensor and Licensee each agree that all Confidential Information disclosed in tangible form, and marked “confidential” and forwarded to one by the other, or if disclosed orally, is designated as confidential at the time of disclosure: (i) is to be held in strict confidence by the receiving Party, (ii) is to be used by and under authority of the receiving Party only as authorized in the Agreement, and (iii) shall not be disclosed by the receiving Party, its agents or employees without the prior written consent of the disclosing Party or as authorized in the Agreement. Licensee has the right to use and disclose Confidential Information of Licensor reasonably in connection with the exercise of its rights under the Agreement, including without limitation disclosing to Affiliates, Sublicensees, potential investors, acquirers, and others on a need to know basis, if such Confidential Information is provided under conditions which reasonably protect the confidentiality thereof. Each Party’s obligation of confidence hereunder includes, without limitation, using at least the same degree of care with the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but always at least a reasonable degree of care.

Each Party agrees not to disclose to any third party the terms of the Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, except each Party may disclose the terms of the Agreement: (a) to advisors, actual or potential Sublicensees, acquirers or investors, and others on a need to know basis, in each case, under appropriate confidentiality obligations substantially similar to those of this Section 8; and (b) to the extent necessary to comply with applicable laws and court orders (including, without limitation, The Texas Public Information Act, as may be amended from time to time, other open records laws, decisions and rulings, and securities laws, regulations and guidance). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the existence of the Agreement shall not be considered Confidential Information.

If the receiving Party is required to disclose Confidential Information of another Party hereto, or any terms of the Agreement, pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body or applicable law, the receiving Party may disclose such Confidential Information or terms to the extent required, provided that the receiving Party shall use reasonable efforts to provide the disclosing Party with reasonable advance notice thereof to enable the disclosing Party to seek a protective order and otherwise seek to prevent such disclosure. To the extent that Confidential Information so disclosed does not become part of the public domain by virtue of such disclosure, it shall remain Confidential Information protected pursuant to Section 8.

Each Party agrees not to copy or record any of the Confidential Information of the other Party, except as reasonably necessary to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under the Agreement, and for archival and legal purposes.

Subject to the exclusions listed in Section 8.7, the Parties’ confidentiality obligations under the Agreement will survive termination of the Agreement and will continue for a period of five (5) years thereafter.

Information shall not be considered Confidential Information of a disclosing Party under the Agreement to the extent that the receiving Party can establish by competent written proof that such information:

The placement of a copyright notice on any Confidential Information will not be construed to mean that such information has been published and will not release the other Party from its obligation of confidentiality hereunder.

If either Licensor’s designated office for technology commercialization or Licensee becomes aware of any alleged, potential or actual infringement of Patent Rights, each Party shall promptly notify the other of such in writing. Within two (2) business days of such notification (the “SRA Notice Period”), Licensor agrees to notify Licensee in writing if the infringing party is a party to a sponsored research agreement with the Licensor [*].

*Confidential Treatment Requested.

 

With respect to any potential infringement of the Patent Rights, Licensee shall have the first and primary right, but not the obligation, to, at its expense, initiate, prosecute, and control any action or legal proceedings, and/or enter into a settlement, including any declaratory judgment action, with respect thereto. In the event Licensor provides Licensee with an SRA Notice during the SRA Notice Period, Licensee shall not file an infringement lawsuit against the third party identified in such SRA Notice for at least [*] from the date of such SRA Notice. In any such litigation brought by Licensee, Licensee shall have the right to use and sue in Licensor’s name and join Licensor as a party to such litigation only with the prior written consent of Licensor, and Licensor shall cooperate reasonably with respect thereto, as requested and at the expense of Licensee. If, within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days of the notice in Section 9.1, Licensee has neither brought, nor is Licensee diligently prosecuting an infringement or other action with respect to such potential infringement, then Licensor shall have the right, at its expense, to bring suit to enforce such Patent Rights against such potential infringer, at its own expense, unless Licensee has provided Licensor with a reasonable strategic rationale for not taking action to

terminate such potential infringement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor shall not, and shall not permit any third party to, proceed against an alleged infringer of the Patent Rights in the Territory (1) unless significant damages are reasonably expected to be recovered from the infringer in such proceeding and (2) without first consulting with Licensee regarding the strategy for such proceeding and considering in good faith Licensee’s comments regarding such proceeding.

The Party pursuing or controlling any action or defense under Section 9.2 (the “Controlling Party”) shall be free to enter into a settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary disposition of any such action or defense, provided, however, that (i) the Controlling Party shall consult with the other Party (the “Secondary Party”) prior to entering into any settlement or voluntary disposition thereof, (ii) any settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary disposition of such actions which (1) subjects the Secondary Party to any non-indemnified liability or obligation or (2) admits fault or wrongdoing on the part of Secondary Party must, in each case, be approved in advance and in writing by the Secondary Party, (iii) any settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary disposition of such actions which materially limits the scope, validity, or enforceability of, or otherwise may adversely affect, any Patent Rights shall not be entered into, consented to, approved, or agreed upon without the other Party’s prior written approval, and (iv) any settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary disposition of such actions that would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Patent Rights or the ability of Licensee to manufacture, use, market or sell Licensed Products shall not be entered into, consented to, approved, or agreed upon without Licensee’s prior written consent. With respect to clause (ii) or (iii) above in this Section 9.3, the Secondary Party shall provide the Controlling Party notice of its approval or denial of such approval within [*] business days of any request for such approval by the Controlling Party, provided that (X) in the event Secondary Party wishes to deny such approval, such notice shall include a written description summarizing the Secondary Party’s reasonable objections to the proposed settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary disposition and (Y) Secondary Party shall be deemed to have approved such proposed settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary disposition in the event it fails to provide such notice within such [*] business day period.

*Confidential Treatment Requested.

 

Any recovery or damages received by the Controlling Party with respect to the infringement of the rights to the Patent Rights granted under this Agreement, or in settlement of any matter subject to Section 9.2 shall (i) first be used to reimburse the Parties pro rata for unreimbursed reasonable, documented litigation expenses (excluding, with respect to any costs or expenses incurred by Licensor, compensation of any employees or consultants of Licensor or any Affiliate thereof) incurred in connection with such action or settlement, and the remainder shall be split [*] to Controlling Party and [*] to Secondary Party.

Licensee certifies that it will not, directly or indirectly, export (including any deemed export), nor re-export (including any deemed re-export) the Licensed Products (including any associated products, items, article’s, computer software, media, services, technical data, and other information) in violation of applicable U.S. laws and regulations. Licensee will include a provision in its agreements, substantially similar to this Section 10, with its Sublicensees, third party wholesalers and distributors, and physicians, hospitals or other healthcare providers who purchase a Licensed Product, requiring that these parties comply with all then-current applicable U.S. export laws and regulations and other applicable U.S. laws and regulations.

Except for the rights, if any, of the Government as set forth in Section 11.2, Licensor represents and warrants to Licensee that to the knowledge of Licensor’s Office of Technology Commercialization (i) Licensor is the owner of the entire right, title, and interest in and to Patent Rights (other than the right, title and interest of any joint owner identified in Section 1 of the Patent License Agreement), (ii) Licensor has the right to grant licenses hereunder, (iii) Licensor has not knowingly granted and will not knowingly grant licenses or other rights under the Patent Rights that are in conflict with the terms and conditions in the Agreement, (iv) Licensor’s execution and performance of this Agreement will not result in a breach of any other contract to which it is, or will become, a party, and (v) OTC has not received any written notification, alleging that the Patent Rights are invalid or unenforceable or that the exercise by Licensee of any rights granted hereunder will infringe on or constitute misappropriation of any patent or other proprietary right of any third party.

Licensee understands that Patent Rights may have been developed under a funding agreement with Government and, if so, that Government may have certain rights relative thereto. The Agreement is made subject to the Government’s rights under any such agreement and under any applicable Government law or regulation. To the extent that there is a conflict between any such agreement, such applicable law or regulation and the Agreement, the terms of such Government agreement, and applicable law or regulation, shall prevail. Licensee agrees that, to the extent required by U.S. laws and regulations, Licensed Products used or sold in the U.S. will be manufactured substantially in the U.S., unless a written waiver is obtained in advance from the U.S. Government.

EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.1, LICENSEE UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT LICENSOR MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AS TO THE LICENSED PRODUCTS OR LICENSED SERVICES, OR AS TO THE OPERABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY USE OR PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, SAFETY, EFFICACY, APPROVABILITY BY REGULATORY AUTHORITIES, TIME AND COST OF DEVELOPMENT, PATENTABILITY, AND/OR BREADTH OF PATENT RIGHTS. LICENSOR MAKES NO REPRESENTATION AS TO WHETHER ANY PATENT WITHIN PATENT RIGHTS IS VALID, OR AS TO WHETHER THERE ARE ANY PATENTS NOW HELD, OR WHICH WILL BE HELD, BY OTHERS OR BY LICENSOR THAT MIGHT BE REQUIRED FOR USE OF PATENT RIGHTS IN FIELD. NOTHING IN THE AGREEMENT WILL BE CONSTRUED AS CONFERRING BY IMPLICATION, ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE ANY LICENSE OR RIGHTS TO ANY PATENTS OR TECHNOLOGY OF LICENSOR OTHER THAN THE PATENT RIGHTS, WHETHER SUCH PATENTS ARE DOMINANT OR SUBORDINATE TO THE PATENT RIGHTS. LICENSOR HAS NO OBLIGATION TO FURNISH TO LICENSEE ANY KNOW-HOW, TECHNOLOGY OR TECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATION.

By execution of the Agreement, Licensee represents, acknowledges, covenants and agrees (a) that Licensee has not been induced in any way by Licensor or its employees to enter into the Agreement, and (b) that Licensee has been given an opportunity to conduct sufficient due diligence with respect to all items and issues pertaining to this Section 11 (Representations and Disclaimers) and all other matters pertaining to the Agreement; and (c) that Licensee has adequate knowledge and expertise, or has utilized knowledgeable and expert consultants, to adequately conduct the due diligence, and (d) that Licensee accepts all risks

Licensee represents that it is a duly organized, validly existing entity of the form indicated in Section 1 of the Patent License Agreement, and is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization as indicated in Section 1 of the Patent License Agreement, and has all necessary corporate or other appropriate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations hereunder.

IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR, THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM IT GOVERNS, ITS MEMBER INSTITUTIONS, INVENTORS, REGENTS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, STUDENTS, AGENTS OR AFFILIATED ENTERPRISES (COLLECTIVELY, “LICENSOR COVERED PARTIES”), BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT OR ITS SUBJECT MATTER, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY SUCH PARTY KNOWS OR SHOULD KNOW OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OTHER THAN FOR CLAIMS AGAINST LICENSEE FOR INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED UNDER SECTION 13 WITH RESPECT TO THIRD PARTY CLAIMS, IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSEE, ITS AFFILIATES OR SUBLICENSEES BE LIABLE TO LICENSOR COVERED PARTIES FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT OR ITS SUBJECT MATTER, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER LICENSEE KNOWS OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Subject to Section 13.2, Licensee agrees to hold harmless, defend and indemnify Licensor, the university system it governs, its member institutions, its Regents, officers, employees, students and agents (the “Indemnified Parties”, or an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any liabilities, damages, causes of action, suits, judgments, liens, penalties, fines, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of litigation) (collectively “Liabilities”) resulting from claims or demands brought by third parties against an Indemnified Party on account of any injury or death of persons, damage to property, or any other damage or loss arising out of the exercise or practice by or under authority of Licensee, its Affiliates or their Sublicensees, or third party wholesalers or distributors, or physicians, hospitals or other healthcare providers who purchase a Licensed Product, of the rights granted hereunder.

Licensee shall have no responsibility or obligation under Section 13.1 for any Liabilities to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct by an Indemnified Party. Obligations to indemnify, and hold harmless under Section 13.1 are subject to: (a) to the extent authorized by the Texas Constitution and the laws of the State of Texas, and subject to the statutory duties of the Texas Attorney General, the Indemnified Party giving Licensee control of the defense and settlement of the claim and demand; and (b) to the extent authorized by the Texas Constitution and the laws of the State of Texas and subject to statutory duties of the Texas Attorney General, the Indemnified Party providing assistance reasonably requested by Licensee, at Licensee’s expense.

Prior to any Licensed Product being used in humans or sold (including for the purpose of obtaining regulatory approvals), by Licensee, an Affiliate, or by a Sublicensee, and for a period of five years after the Agreement expires or is terminated, Licensee shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain commercial general liability insurance or an equivalent program of self-insurance in commercially reasonable and appropriate amounts for the Licensed Product being used or sold. Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have Licensor named as an additional insured party. Such commercial general liability insurance shall provide, without limitation: (i) product liability coverage; (ii) broad form contractual liability coverage for Licensee’s indemnification under the Agreement; and (iii) coverage for litigation costs.

Upon request by Licensor, Licensee shall provide Licensor with written evidence of such insurance. Additionally, Licensee shall provide Licensor with written notice of at least 30 days prior to Licensee cancelling, not renewing, or materially changing such insurance.

*Confidential Treatment Requested.

 

The Agreement may not be assigned by Licensee without the prior written consent of Licensor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Licensee shall be permitted to assign this Agreement to (i) any of its Affiliates, [*]. A Change of Control shall be considered an assignment of the Agreement. For any permitted assignment to be effective, (a) the Licensee must be in good standing under this Agreement, (b) the assignment fee, if applicable, shall be payable as specified in Section 3.1(e) of the Agreement (c) the assignee must assume in writing all of Licensee’s interests, rights, duties and obligations under the Agreement and agree to comply with all terms and conditions of the Agreement as if the assignee were an original Party to the Agreement and, (d) provide written notice to the Licensor of such assignment no less

than 15 days after completion of such assignment. Any such assignment must be of all rights and obligations of Licensee, such that there is only one existing Licensee at any one time.

To the extent reasonably practical, Licensee agrees to mark, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that its Affiliates, licensees, and sublicensees mark, all Licensed Products with the number of any applicable patent(s) licensed hereunder as part of the Patent Rights in accordance with each country’s patent marking laws, including Title 35, U.S. Code, or if such marking is not practicable, shall so mark the accompanying outer box or product insert for Licensed Products accordingly.

Licensee will be responsible for obtaining all necessary Governmental approvals for the development, production, distribution, sale, and use of any Licensed Product, at Licensee’s expense, including, without limitation, any safety studies. Licensee will have sole responsibility for any warning labels, packaging and instructions as to the use and the quality control for any Licensed Product.

Licensee agrees to register the Agreement with any foreign governmental agency that requires such registration; and Licensee will pay all costs and legal fees in connection with such registration. Licensee is responsible for compliance with all foreign laws affecting the Agreement or the Sale of Licensed Products to the extent there is no conflict with United States law, in which case United States law will control.

Licensee will not use the name, trademarks or other marks of Licensor (or the name of the university system it governs, its member institutions, any of its Regents or employees) without the advance written consent of Licensor; provided however, in connection with describing the Agreement to existing and prospective investors and Sublicensees, Licensee may identify Licensor’s name as the licensor. Licensor may use Licensee’s name and logo for annual reports, brochures, website, and internal reports without prior consent.

Any notice or other communication of the Parties required or permitted to be given or made under the Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed effective when sent in a manner that provides confirmation or acknowledgement of delivery and received at the

Notices shall be provided to each Party as specified in the “Contact for Notice” address set forth in Section 18 of the Patent License Agreement. Each Party shall update the other Party in writing with any changes in such contact information.

The Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties hereto, their respective executors, administrators, heirs, permitted assigns, and permitted successors in interest.

Headings are included for convenience only and will not be used to construe the Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that both Parties substantially participated in negotiating the provisions of the Agreement; therefore, both Parties agree that any ambiguity in the Agreement shall not be construed more favorably toward one Party than the other Party, regardless of which Party primarily drafted the Agreement.

The Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. A Party may evidence its execution and delivery of the Agreement by transmission of a signed copy of the Agreement via facsimile or email.

Licensee will comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, including, without limitation, all export laws and regulations.

The Agreement will be construed and enforced in accordance with laws of the U.S. and the State of Texas, without regard to choice of law and conflicts of law principles.

Any modification of the Agreement will be effective only if it is in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of both Parties. No modification will be made by email communications.

If any provision hereof is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith a valid, legal and enforceable substitute provision that most nearly reflects the original intent of the Parties, and all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be construed in order to carry out the intentions of the Parties hereto as nearly as may be possible. Such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such other provisions in any other jurisdiction, so long as the essential essence of the Agreement remains enforceable.

Nothing in the Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer any benefits, rights or remedies on any entity, other than the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns. However, if there is a joint owner of any Patent Rights identified in Section 1 of the Patent License Agreement (other than Licensee), then Licensee hereby agrees that the following provisions of these Terms and Conditions extend to the benefit of the co-owner identified therein (excluding the Licensee to the extent it is a co-owner) as if such co-owner was identified in each reference to the Licensor but only if such co-owner is bound by all of Licensor’s obligations under this Agreement: the retained rights under clause (b) of Section 2.1; Section 11.3 (Licensor Disclaimers); Section 12 (Limitation of Liability); Section 13 (Indemnification); Section 14.1 (Insurance Requirements); Section 17 (Use of Name); and Section 19.10 (Sovereign Immunity, if applicable).

Neither Party will be deemed to have waived any of its rights under the Agreement unless the waiver is in writing and signed by such Party. No delay or omission of a Party in exercising or enforcing a right or remedy under the Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof.

Nothing in the Agreement shall be deemed or treated as any waiver of Licensor’s sovereign immunity.

The Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between the Parties regarding the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior written or verbal agreements, representations and understandings relative to such matters.

Licensee acknowledges that any claim for breach of the Agreement asserted by Licensee against Licensor shall be subject to Chapter 2260 of the Texas Government Code and that the process provided therein shall be Licensee’s sole and exclusive process for seeking a remedy for any and all alleged breaches of the Agreement by Licensor or the State of Texas.

Licensee hereby grants to Licensor a security interest in and to Licensee’s rights under the Patent License Agreement, as collateral security for the payment by Licensee of any and all sums which may be owed from time to time by Licensee to Licensor. Licensor shall have all rights of a secured party as specified in the Texas Uniform Commercial Code relative to this security interest and the enforcement thereof. Licensee hereby authorizes Licensor to file with the appropriate governmental agencies appropriate UCC-1 financing statements to evidence this security interest.
