The restrictions imposed by this Section 8.4 shall not prohibit either Party from: (a) making any disclosure identifying the other Party that, in the opinion of the disclosing Party’s counsel, is required by Applicable Law; provided that such Party shall submit the proposed disclosure identifying the other Party in writing to the other Party as far in advance as reasonably practicable (and in no event less than [***] Business Days prior to the anticipated date of disclosure) so as to provide a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon; and (b) using a brief description of the subject of this Agreement (including, the other Party’s name and logo, title and date of the Agreement, and general scope of the Licenses, but no other terms or conditions thereof) on its website and in corporate presentations; provided that a Party proposing such description shall provide a written copy of the proposed language to the other Party for review prior to making such use, and, once approved, that description may be used (without substantive changes) thereafter without the need to seek pre-approval.

ARTICLE 10

INDEMNITY

10.1 Indemnification of Caribou. AbbVie shall indemnify Caribou, its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (the “Caribou Indemnitees”) and defend and save each of them harmless, from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) in connection with any and all suits, investigations, claims, or demands of Third Parties (collectively, “Third Party Claims”) incurred by or rendered against the Caribou Indemnitees arising from or occurring as a result of: [***].

10.2 Indemnification of AbbVie. Caribou shall indemnify AbbVie, its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (the “AbbVie Indemnitees”), and defend and save each of them harmless, from and against any and all Losses in connection with any and all Third Party Claims incurred by or rendered against the AbbVie Indemnitees arising from or occurring as a result of: [***].

10.3 Notice of Claim. All indemnification claims in respect of a Party, its Affiliates, or their respective directors, officers, and employees shall be made solely by such Party to this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”). The Indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying Party prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any Losses, Third Party Claim, or discovery of fact upon which such Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under this ARTICLE 10, but in no event shall the indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay in providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the Third Party Claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss is known at such time). The Indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses and Third Party Claims.

[***]

10.5 Control of Defense.

10.5.1 In General. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.4, at its option, the indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within [***] days after the indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the indemnifying Party which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. In the event the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party in connection with the Third Party Claim. Should the indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, except as provided in Section 10.5.2, the indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim unless specifically requested in writing by the indemnifying Party. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend, or hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the indemnifying Party for any Losses incurred by the indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim.

10.5.2 Right to Participate in Defense. Without limiting Section 10.5.1, any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided that such employment shall be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense unless (a) the employment thereof, and the assumption by the indemnifying Party of such expense, has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying Party in writing, (b) the indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 10.5.1 (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense), or (c) the interests of the Indemnified Party and the indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both Parties under Applicable Law, ethical rules or equitable principles.

10.5.3 Settlement. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.4, with respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that shall not result in the Indemnified Party’s becoming subject to injunctive or other relief, and as to which the indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder, the indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate. With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 10.5.1, the indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss; provided that it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party may defend against such Third Party Claim. Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, no Indemnified Party shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or dispose of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party, which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement, compromise or other disposition of a Loss by an Indemnified Party that is reached without the written consent of the indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

10.5.4 Cooperation. Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each indemnitee to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making Indemnified Parties and other employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.

10.5.5 Expenses. Except as provided above, the reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any Third Party Claim shall be reimbursed [***] by the indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the indemnifying Party’s right to contest the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party.

10.7.2 Certificates of Insurance. Upon request by a Party, the other Party shall provide Certificates of Insurance evidencing compliance with the above requirements of this Section 10.7. The insurance policies shall be under an occurrence form, but if only a claims-made form is available to a Party, then such Party shall continue to maintain such insurance after the expiration or termination of this Agreement for the longer of (a) a period of [***] years following termination or (b) expiration of this Agreement in its entirety.

TERM AND TERMINATION

11.1 Term.

11.1.1 Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated in accordance herewith, shall continue in force and effect until the date of expiration of the last Royalty Term of the last country in which a Licensed Product is Exploited (such period, the “Term”).

11.1.2 Effect of Expiration of the Term. [***]

11.2 Termination for Material Breach.

11.2.1 Material Breach. If either Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) believes that the other Party (the “Breaching Party”) has materially breached one (1) or more of its material obligations under this Agreement, then the Non-Breaching Party may deliver written notice of such material breach to the Breaching Party (a “Default Notice”). If the Breaching Party does not dispute that it has committed a material breach of one (1) or more of its material obligations under this Agreement, and the Breaching Party fails to cure such breach, or fails to take steps as would be considered reasonable to effectively cure such breach, within [***] after receipt of the Default Notice, or if such compliance cannot be fully achieved within such [***] period and the Breaching Party has failed to commence compliance or has failed to use diligent efforts to achieve full compliance as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible, the Non-Breaching Party may terminate this Agreement. If the Breaching Party disputes that it has materially breached one (1) of its material obligations under this Agreement, the dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 12.8 and the Non-Breaching Party may not terminate for such alleged material breach pursuant to this Section 11.2.1 (a) during the pendency of such dispute resolution proceedings or (b) if, as a result of the application of such dispute resolution proceedings, the Breaching Party is determined not to be in any of the material breach(es) alleged by the Non-Breaching Party. If, as a result of the application of such dispute resolution procedures, the Breaching Party is determined to be in material breach of one (1) or more of its material obligations under this Agreement (an “Adverse Ruling”), then if the Breaching Party fails to complete the actions specified by the Adverse Ruling to cure such material breach within [***] after such ruling, or if such compliance cannot be fully achieved within such [***] period and the Breaching Party has failed to commence compliance or has failed to use diligent efforts to achieve full compliance as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible, then the Non-Breaching Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Breaching Party.

11.2.2 Material Breach Related to Diligence. Notwithstanding Section 11.2.1, if at any time Caribou has a reasonable basis to believe that AbbVie is in material breach of its material obligations under Section 4.5, then Caribou shall so notify AbbVie, specifying the basis for its belief, and the Parties shall meet within [***] after such notice to discuss in good faith Caribou’s concerns and AbbVie’s plans with respect to the applicable Licensed Product, and prior to such meeting Caribou shall not deliver to AbbVie any Default Notice with respect to such alleged material breach. Further, if the material breach and failure to cure contemplated by Section 11.2.1 with respect to AbbVie’s obligations under Section 4.5 is solely with respect to a Major Market, to the extent Caribou has the right to terminate following the meeting between the Parties to discuss, Caribou shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, but shall have the right to terminate this Agreement solely with respect to such Major Market.

CONFIDENTIAL

11.2.3 Material Breach Related to a Licensed Product. Notwithstanding Section 11.2.1, if the material breach and failure to cure contemplated by Section 11.2.1 is with respect to AbbVie’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to any particular Licensed Product, Caribou shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, but shall have the right to terminate this Agreement solely with respect to such Licensed Product.

11.2.4 Invocation of Termination for Material Breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that termination pursuant to this Section 11.2 is a remedy to be invoked only if the breach cannot be adequately remedied through a combination of specific performance and the payment of money damages.

11.3 Additional Termination Rights by AbbVie.

11.3.1 For Safety. AbbVie may terminate this Agreement, in its entirety or on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, effective immediately upon written notice to Caribou if AbbVie in good faith believes that it is not advisable for AbbVie to continue to Exploit the Collaboration CAR-T Product(s) or Licensed Product(s) as a result of a perceived serious safety issue regarding the use of any Collaboration CAR-T Product or Licensed Product.

11.3.2 For Convenience. AbbVie may terminate this Agreement in its entirety, or on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product, country-by-country or other jurisdiction-by-other jurisdiction basis, for any or no reason, upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Caribou.

11.4 Termination for Insolvency. In the event that either Party (a) files for protection under bankruptcy or insolvency laws, (b) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (c) appoints or suffers appointment of a receiver or trustee over substantially all of its property that is not discharged within [***] after such filing, (d) proposes a written agreement of composition or extension of its debts, (e) proposes or is a party to any dissolution or liquidation, (f) files a petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency act or has any such petition filed against that is not discharged within [***] of the filing thereof, or (g) admits in writing its inability generally to meet its obligations as they fall due in the general course, then the other Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety effective immediately upon written notice to such Party.

PRESS RELEASE

AbbVie and Caribou Biosciences Announce Collaboration and License Agreement for CAR-T Cell Products

NORTH CHICAGO, Ill., and BERKELEY, Calif., Feb. XX, 2021 – AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) and Caribou Biosciences, Inc., a leading clinical-stage CRISPR genome editing biotechnology company, announced today that they have entered into a collaboration and license agreement for the research and development of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapeutics. Although allogeneic, “off-the-shelf” CAR-T cell therapies have shown early promise in some cancer patients, the need for overcoming the rejection of allogeneic CAR-T cells by the host immune system remains a key challenge to their broader development. Employing Caribou’s CRISPR genome editing platform to engineer CAR-T cells to withstand host immune attack would enable the development of the next-generation of “off-the-shelf” cellular therapies to benefit a broader patient population.

Under the multi-year agreement, AbbVie will utilize Caribou’s next-generation Cas12a CRISPR hybrid RNA-DNA (chRDNA) genome editing and cell therapy technologies to research and develop two new CAR-T cell therapies directed to targets specified by AbbVie. AbbVie will have exclusive rights to Caribou’s next-generation Cas12a chRDNA genome editing and cell therapy technologies for the selected targets. Caribou will conduct certain pre-clinical research, development, and manufacturing activities for the collaboration programs, and AbbVie will reimburse Caribou for all such activities pursuant to the collaboration. AbbVie is responsible for all clinical development, commercialization, and manufacturing efforts. AbbVie has the option to pay a fee to expand the collaboration to include up to an additional two CAR-T cell therapies. Caribou will receive $40 million in an upfront cash payment and equity investment, along with up to $300 million in future development, regulatory, and launch milestones. Caribou may also receive additional payments for commercial milestones as well as global tiered royalties.

“We are excited to partner with AbbVie on the development of new CAR-T cell therapies. This collaboration validates Caribou’s differentiated next-generation CRISPR genome editing technologies that provide best-in-class efficiency and specificity,” said Rachel Haurwitz, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Caribou. “We believe AbbVie is an ideal partner for Caribou as we expand upon the number of targets and diseases addressable by our technologies. Genome-edited CAR-T cell therapies hold tremendous potential for patients, and this partnership accelerates our ability to address significant unmet medical need.”

“CAR-T therapies have shown to be a promising breakthrough in cancer treatment,” said Steve Davidsen, Ph.D., Vice President, Oncology Discovery, AbbVie. “Collaborating with Caribou and their cutting-edge CRISPR platform will help AbbVie advance our efforts to deliver new hope for patients.”
