2.2Pilot Studies Reports and License Grants to Licensee.
2.2.1The Parties acknowledge and agree that, as of the Termination Effective Date, Penn has completed under the Collaboration Agreement certain Pilot Studies (as defined in the Collaboration Agreement) funded by Licensee and related to Duchenne muscular dystrophy (“DMD”) and Angelman Syndrome (the “DMD Study” and the “Angelman Study”).

2


for and on behalf of Licensee and/or its Affiliates for the purposes of such Affiliate or Third Party performing any such activities.
2.2.3Licensee will have the right to extend any and all of its rights and licenses under Section 2.2.2 above to its Affiliate(s), [***] provided that Licensee shall remain liable for all actions and omissions of its Affiliate and the terms of such extension shall contain a requirement for such Affiliate to comply with the terms contained herein relevant to such license grant.

2.2.6.3Notwithstanding the above, a Penn Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of a Third Party claim or suit subject to indemnification under this Section 2.2.6 and to engage counsel of its own choice for such purpose; provided that such engagement shall be at such Penn Indemnitee’s own expense unless a bona fide conflict exists between Licensee and Penn or any other Penn Indemnitee with respect to a claim or suit subject to indemnification hereunder, such that representation by Licensee and Penn or such other Penn Indemnitee by the same legal counsel due to a misalignment of interests or would be prohibited under applicable law, ethical rules or equitable principles, in which case, Licensee will either pay any reasonable, documented out-of-pocket attorney’s fees and litigation expenses of such Penn Indemnitee directly or reimburse Penn within [***] of Licensee’s receipt of invoices for such fees and expenses.

2.2.6.4In no event shall Licensee be liable under this Section 2.2.6 for any settlement, compromise or other disposition of a Third Party claim or suit for which a Penn Indemnitee seeks indemnification hereunder and that is reached without the prior written consent of Licensee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

6.10Waiver. A waiver by either Party of any of the terms and conditions of this Termination Agreement in any instance shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of such term or condition for the future, or of any other term or condition hereof. All rights, remedies, undertakings, obligations and agreements contained in this Termination Agreement shall be cumulative and none of them shall be in limitation of any other remedy, right, undertaking, obligation or agreement of either Party.
6.11Severability. When possible, each provision of this Termination Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under law, but if any provision of this Termination Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Termination Agreement. The Parties shall make a good faith effort to replace the invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid one which in its economic effect is most consistent with the invalid or unenforceable provision.
6.12Counterparts. This Termination Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, and all of which together will be deemed to be one and the same instrument.
