  (D) An Exclusive license under the Licensed Information to make, have made, use, import, copy, perform, display, distribute, and transmit Licensed Information for submission to the FDA and equivalent foreign regulatory agencies, and otherwise non-exclusive.

 

  (E) An non-exclusive license for Licensed Technology to make, have made, use, import, copy, perform, display, distribute, and transmit Licensed Technology in all fields of use, subject to Stanford’s retained rights.

It is understood by the Parties that solely with respect to the rights conveyed by Stanford pursuant to Section 3.1(A) under any patent applications and patents based on [*] that such rights are [*]. Stanford will [*] patent applications and patents based on [*]. In addition, without providing prior written notice to Forty Seven, Stanford will not [*].

In the event [*], Stanford shall provide prompt written notice to Forty Seven and [*].

 

3.2 Exclusivity. The licenses set forth in Section 3.1 include the right to grant Sublicense(s) under Article 4, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis in the Licensed Field of Use beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the later of:

 

  (A) the expiration of the last-to-expire Valid Claim included in the Licensed Patents; or

 

  (B) the 10 year anniversary of the date of first commercial sale of a Licensed Product by Forty Seven or a sublicensee. Forty Seven agrees to promptly inform Stanford in writing of this first commercial sale.

Thereafter the licenses will be fully paid up and royalty free.

 

3.3 Retained Rights. Stanford retains the right, on behalf of itself, Stanford Hospital and Clinics, and all other non-profit research institutions, to practice the Licensed Patents and Licensed Information, and to use Licensed Technology, for any non-profit purpose, including sponsored research and collaborations. Forty Seven agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it has no right to enforce the Licensed Patents against any such institution. Stanford and any such other institution have the right to publish any information included in the Licensed Technology or a Licensed Patent.

Stanford’s retained rights set forth in this Section 3.3 with respect to Licensed Information shall be subject to Section 19.1; provided that in the event that the inventors intend to publish or disclose any Licensed Information, the inventors will send such publication or disclosure to Forty Seven, and Forty Seven will respond within [*] days of receipt by Forty Seven from the inventors. In the

 

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

event that there is not agreement of what information is subject to Section 19.1, the parties agree to meet and discuss within [*] days from the date of receipt of the response from Forty Seven, to come to a mutual agreement, in good faith with Stanford, about any publication of Licensed Information. Stanford certifies that [*]. Accordingly, the parties agree that [*].

 

3.4 Specific Exclusion. Stanford does not:

 

  (A) grant to Forty Seven any other licenses, implied or otherwise, to any patents or other rights of Stanford other than those rights granted under Licensed Patents, Licensed Information, and Licensed Technology, regardless of whether the patents or other rights are dominant or subordinate to any Licensed Patent, or are required to exploit any Licensed Patent, Licensed Information or Licensed Technology;

 

  (B) commit to Forty Seven to bring suit against third parties for infringement, except as described in Article 14; and

4. SUBLICENSING

 

4.1 Permitted Sublicensing. Forty Seven may grant Sublicenses through multiple tiers of sublicensing in the Licensed Field of Use only during the Exclusive term and only if Forty Seven is developing or selling Licensed Products directly or through its Affiliates or sublicensees. Sublicenses with any exclusivity must include diligence requirements commensurate with the diligence requirements of Appendix A. Stanford agrees that Forty Seven may apportion without discrimination between Forty Seven and Stanford patents a commercially reasonable percentage of sublicensing payments made to Stanford pursuant to Section 4.6, provided however that Forty Seven provides Stanford with the proposed apportionment and justification prior to Forty Seven’s payment pursuant to Section 8.1. Stanford and Forty Seven agree to meet to discuss such proposed apportionment if in Stanford’s opinion the apportionment does not reasonably reflect the value of the Licensed Patents.

 

4.2

Required Sublicensing. If Forty Seven directly or through its Affiliates or sublicensees is unable or unwilling to serve or develop a potential market or market territory for which there is a reputable company with adequate resources willing to be a sublicensee, and such sublicensee has provided Stanford and Forty Seven with a bona fide, detailed proposal to develop a Licensed Product for a potential market or potential territory that would not interfere with any existing or future Licensed Products of Forty Seven as reasonably demonstrated by Forty Seven in a written document to Stanford, then Forty Seven will, at Stanford’s request, negotiate in good faith a

 

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

  Sublicense with any such sublicensee. Stanford would like licensees to address unmet needs, such as those of neglected patient populations or geographic areas, giving particular attention to improved therapeutics, diagnostics and agricultural technologies for the developing world, as applicable.

 

4.3 Sublicense Requirements. Any Sublicense:

 

  (A) is subject to this Agreement, except that financial terms may differ;

 

  (B) will prohibit sublicensee from paying royalties to an escrow or other similar account;

 

  (C) will expressly include the provisions of 8, 9, 10 and Section 3.5 and 19.3 for the benefit of Stanford and HHMI, and provisions that allow Forty Seven to comply with its obligations to Stanford and/or HHMI under Article 8; and

 

  (D) will include the provisions of Section 4.4 and require the transfer of all the sublicensee’s obligations to Forty Seven, including the payment of royalties specified in the Sublicense (up to the earned royalty rates set forth in this Agreement), to Stanford or its designee, if this Agreement is terminated by Stanford. If the sublicensee is a spin-out from Forty Seven, Forty Seven must guarantee the sublicensee’s performance with respect to the payment of Stanford’s share of Sublicense royalties.

 

4.4 Litigation by Sublicensee. Any Sublicense must include the following clauses:

 

  (A) In the event sublicensee brings an action seeking to invalidate any Licensed Patent:

 

  (1) sublicensee will [*] during the pendency of such action. Moreover, should the outcome of such action determine that any claim of a patent challenged by the sublicensee is both valid and infringed by a Licensed Product, sublicensee will [*];

 

  (2) sublicensee will [*] during the period challenge;

 

  (3) any dispute regarding the validity of any Licensed Patent shall be [*], and the parties agree [*]; and

 

  (4) sublicensee shall [*].

 

  (B) Sublicensee will provide written notice to Stanford at least [*] prior to bringing an action seeking to invalidate a Licensed Patent. Sublicensee will include with such written notice [*].

 

  (C) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a sublicensee files a counterclaim asserting invalidity of one or more Licensed Patents in response to an actual infringement suit directed to the Licensed Patents by Stanford, such sublicensee shall not be deemed to have initiated an action to invalidate a Licensed Patent and Sections 4.4(A) and 4.4(B) above shall not apply.

 

4.5 Copy of Sublicenses and Sublicensee Royalty Reports. Forty Seven will submit to Stanford a copy of each Sublicense, any subsequent amendments, and all copies of sublicensees’ royalty reports, which may in each case be reasonably redacted for information not relevant to this Agreement. Beginning with the first Sublicense, the Chief Financial Officer or equivalent will certify annually regarding the name and number of sublicensees.

 

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

4.6 Sharing of Sublicensing Income. Forty Seven will pay to Stanford a portion of all Nonroyalty Sublicensing Consideration for the Sublicense of Licensed Patents and Technology, as provided below:

 

  (A) [*]% of Nonroyalty Sublicensing Consideration attributable to the Licensed Patents, up to the time [*];

  (A) Sublicense or

 

  (B) cross-license.

 

5. SPONSOR RIGHTS

This Agreement is subject to Title 35 Sections 200-204 of the United States Code. Among other things, these provisions provide the United States Government with nonexclusive rights in the Licensed Patent. They also impose the obligation that Licensed Product sold or produced in the United States be “manufactured substantially in the United States,” (subject to waivers available under applicable laws). In addition, due to CIRM funding, Forty Seven understands that this Agreement is subject to Title 17, California Code of Regulations and the provisions of section 100607 under Title 17 place requirements on Forty Seven for access to Licensed Product in California. Forty Seven will ensure all obligations of these provisions applicable to Forty Seven are met. Stanford will be responsible for all of Stanford’s obligations to sponsors of the Licensed Patent(s), Licensed Information, and Licensed Technology, including such obligations to NIH, CIRM, LLS, NYSCF, and Ludwig, and all of its obligations under the agreement between Stanford and [*], and, as between Forty Seven and Stanford, will ensure all such obligations are met.

 

6. DILIGENCE

 

6.1 Milestones. Because the invention is not yet commercially viable as of the Effective Date, Forty Seven directly or through its Affiliates, sublicensees or partners will use commercially reasonable efforts to develop, manufacture, and sell Licensed Product and will use commercially reasonable efforts to develop markets for Licensed Product. In addition, Forty Seven will meet the milestones shown in Appendix A, and notify Stanford in writing promptly after each milestone is met. To the extent that there are delays in any of the milestones shown in Appendix A for reasons beyond the reasonable control of Forty Seven, then the timeframe for the performance of the milestones will be subject to a day-for-day extension. Without limiting the foregoing, Forty Seven shall have the right to obtain, [*], extensions to such milestone dates shown in Appendix A. The Parties agree that, subject to Forty Seven’s right to extend the timeline for any milestone pursuant to this Section 6.1 above, failure to meet any milestone set forth in Appendix A for [*] shall not give Stanford the right to terminate or otherwise affect the license granted to Forty Seven for any other Licensed Product; and further, that the remedy for any such failure with respect to such [*], shall be as set forth in Section 6.4.

 

6.2

Progress Report. By [*] of each year, Forty Seven will submit a written annual report to Stanford covering the preceding calendar year. The report will include information sufficient to enable Stanford to satisfy reporting requirements of the U.S. Government, CIRM and for Stanford to

 

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

  ascertain progress by Forty Seven toward meeting this Agreement’s diligence requirements. Each report will describe, where relevant: Forty Seven’s progress toward commercialization of Licensed Product, including work completed, key scientific discoveries, summary of work-in-progress, current schedule of anticipated events or milestones, market plans for introduction of Licensed Product, and significant corporate transactions involving Licensed Product. Forty Seven will specifically describe how each Licensed Product is related to each Licensed Patent, and/or Licensed Information.

 

6.3 Clinical Trial Notice. Forty Seven will notify the Stanford University Office of Technology Licensing prior to commencing any clinical trials at Stanford.

 

6.4 Remedy for Failure. If Forty Seven (itself or through its Affiliates, sublicensees, or partners) has failed to meet the requirements of Section 6.1 with respect to [*] (“Deficient Product”), then Stanford shall have the right to terminate the license for such Deficient Product under this Agreement and any Licensed Patent(s) solely covering such Deficient Product in accordance with and subject to Section 15.2(B) (such Licensed Patent(s) if terminated, the “Terminated Patent Rights”).

 

7. ROYALTIES

 

7.1 Issue Royalty. Forty Seven will pay to Stanford a noncreditable, nonrefundable license issue royalty of $100,000, payable within [*] days of the Effective Date.

 

7.2 Equity Interest. As further consideration, Forty Seven will grant to Stanford 7,751,242 shares of common stock in Forty Seven. When issued, those 7,751,242 shares of common stock will represent not less than [*]% of the common stock in Forty Seven on a Fully-Diluted Basis. The per share valuation of these shares will be provided to Stanford within [*] days of the Effective Date. Forty Seven agrees to provide Stanford with the capitalization table upon which the above calculation is made. Forty Seven will issue shares granted to Stanford pursuant to this Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 directly to and in the name of the inventors listed in Exhibit 1 and allocated as stated in Exhibit 1, which will be provided by Stanford to Forty Seven after the contract is fully executed. Stanford acknowledges that, in partial consideration for Forty Seven issuing such shares directly to the inventors listed above in Exhibit 1, Forty Seven intends to require such inventors to execute inventors certificates certifying that the inventors have assigned and do assign their rights in the Licensed Patents, Licensed Technology, and Licensed Information to Stanford, and disclosing any agreements that would provide any third party rights in or to any of the foregoing.

 

7.3 Anti-Dilution Protection. In addition, Forty Seven will issue Stanford, without further consideration, any additional shares of stock of the class issued pursuant to the above necessary to ensure that the total number of shares issued Stanford does not represent less than [*]% of the shares issued and outstanding on a Fully-Diluted Basis at any time through the completion of issuance of all shares to be issued in connection with the First Round of bona fide equity investment in Forty Seven from a single or group of investors which is both (i) at least $[*] in size and (ii) at a price per share which, when applied to stock actually outstanding immediately after such round, implies a post-financing equity valuation of Forty Seven of at least $[*] (provided that if more than $[*] is raised as of such time, the calculation of Stanford’s percentage ownership shall be determined as if only $[*] was raised). A “First Round” is a bona fide round of equity, warrant, option or convertible equity investment which includes all the tranches prior to the completion of the financing. This right will expire upon the issuance of all shares to be issued in connection with such First Round, but will apply to all shares to be issued in or in connection with such First Round.

 

7.4 Purchase Right.

 

  (A) Stanford shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase for cash up to its Share of the securities issued in any Qualifying Offering on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in this Section 7.4 and Section 7.5 (the “Purchase Right”). For purposes of this Section 7.4 and Section 7.5:

  (1) “Adjustment Event” means the final closing of the first Threshold Qualifying Offering occurring after the date of this Agreement.

 

  (2) “Board of Directors” means (i) if Forty Seven is organized as a corporation, its board of directors, and (ii) if Forty Seven is organized as a limited liability company, Forty Seven manager(s) or member(s) or both that have the power to direct the principal management and activities of Forty Seven, whether through ownership of voting securities, by agreement, or otherwise.

 

  (3) “Qualifying Offering” means a private offering of Forty Seven’s equity securities (or securities convertible into or exercisable for Forty Seven’s equity securities) for cash (or in satisfaction of debt issued for cash) having its final closing on or after the date of this Agreement and which includes investment by one or more venture capital, professional angel, corporate or other similar institutional investors other than Stanford. For the avoidance of doubt, if Forty Seven is a limited liability company, then “equity securities” means limited liability company interests in Forty Seven.

  (3) Stanford fails to give an election notice within the Notice Period for a Qualifying Offering which has its final closing within [*] days of the date such notice is received by Stanford and which is closed on terms that are the same or less favorable to the investors as the terms stated in Forty Seven’s notice to Stanford;

7.8 Earned Royalty.

 

  (A) Forty Seven will pay Stanford earned royalties on annual Net Sales of Hu5F9 Licensed Product as follows:

 

Annual Net Sales of Licensed Product

   

Royalty Rate

[*]    [*]
[*]    [*]
[*]    [*]

>$3 billion

    [*]
[*]    [*]

 

  (B) Forty Seven will pay Stanford earned royalties on annual Net Sales of Other Licensed Product as follows:

 

Annual Net Sales of Licensed Product

   

Royalty Rate

[*]    [*]

 

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

  (C) If Forty Seven is required to pay any amounts with respect to any Licensed Product under agreements for patent rights or other technologies which Forty Seven or its affiliate, in its reasonable judgment, determines are desirable to license or acquire (including for the method of use or manufacture thereof), Forty Seven may deduct up to [*] of the amounts actually paid on Net Sales with respect to such Licensed Product from the royalty payments due Stanford with respect to such Licensed Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.8(C), in no event shall the royalties due to Stanford pursuant to Section 7.8 be so reduced to less than fifty percent (50%) of the amount that would otherwise be due to Stanford hereunder.

 

7.9 Combination Product. In the event that a Licensed Product is sold in combination with another product, component or service for which no royalty would be due hereunder if sold separately, Net Sales from such combination sales for purposes of calculating the amounts due under this Article 7 shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the combination product or service by the fraction A/(A + B), where A is the average gross selling price during the preceding calendar quarter of the Licensed Product sold separately and B is the average gross selling price during the preceding calendar quarter of the other product(s), component(s) or service(s). In the event that separate sales of the Licensed Product and/or of the other product(s), component(s) or service(s) were not made during the preceding calendar quarter, then the Net Sales on the combination product shall be reasonably allocated between such Licensed Product, and such other product(s), component(s) or service(s) based upon their relative importance and proprietary protection as mutually agreed upon by Stanford and Forty Seven.

 

7.10 Generic Competition. In any country where Generic Competition exists, as long as such Generic Competition exists in such country, the royalty otherwise due under Section 7.8 above with respect to Net Sales of the corresponding Licensed Product in such country shall be reduced by [*]. For purposes of this Agreement, “Generic Competition” means that a product is being sold by a third party in such country and such product [*]. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.10, in no event shall the royalties due to Stanford pursuant to Section 7.8 be so reduced to less than [*] of the amount that would otherwise be due to Stanford hereunder.

 

7.11 Single Royalty. No more than one royalty payment under this Agreement shall be due to Stanford with respect to a sale of a particular Licensed Product (e.g., even if such Licensed Product is covered by multiple Valid Claims and Licensed Information). Multiple royalties shall not be payable because any Licensed Product, or its manufacture, sale or use, is covered by more than one claim within the Licensed Patents. No royalty shall be payable under Section 7.8 with respect to sales or other transfers of Licensed Products among Forty Seven, its Affiliates and sublicensees for resale (but the subsequent resale of such Licensed Product shall be included within the computation of Net Sales), nor shall a royalty be payable under Section 7.8 with respect to any Licensed Products transferred (for no more than the cost of the Licensed Product) for use in research and/or development, clinical trials, compassionate use programs, as donations to non-profit institutions or government agencies, as promotional free samples or the like.

 

7.12 Earned Royalty if Forty Seven Challenges the Patent. Notwithstanding the above, should Forty Seven bring an action seeking to invalidate any Licensed Patent, Forty Seven will pay royalties to Stanford [*] during the pendency of such action. Moreover, should the outcome of such action determine that any claim of a patent challenged by Forty Seven is both valid and infringed by a Licensed Product, Forty Seven will pay royalties [*]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Forty Seven files a counterclaim asserting invalidity of one or more Licensed Patents in response to an actual infringement suit directed to the Licensed Patents by Stanford, Forty Seven shall not be deemed to have initiated an action to invalidate a Licensed Patent and this Section 7.12 shall not apply. For the purposes of this Section 7.12, [*].

 

7.13 Creditable Payments. The license maintenance fee for a year may be offset against earned royalty payments due on Net Sales occurring in that year.

 

 

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

For example:

 

  (A) if Forty Seven pays Stanford a $10 maintenance payment for year Y, and according to Section 7.8 $15 in earned royalties are due Stanford for Net Sales in year Y, Forty Seven will only need to pay Stanford an additional $5 for that year’s earned royalties.

 

  (B) if Forty Seven pays Stanford a $10 maintenance payment for year Y, and according to Section 7.8 $3 in earned royalties are due Stanford for Net Sales in year Y, Forty Seven will not need to pay Stanford any earned royalty payment for that year. Forty Seven will not be able to offset the remaining $7 against a future year’s earned royalties.

 

7.14 Obligation to Pay Royalties. A royalty is due Stanford under this Agreement for each Licensed Product sold under the licenses granted. For convenience’s sake, the amount of that royalty is calculated using Net Sales. Nonetheless, if certain Licensed Products are [*], and those Licensed Products are [*], Forty Seven will pay Stanford an earned royalty for its exercise of rights based on the Net Sales of those Licensed Products.

 

7.15 No Escrow. Forty Seven shall not pay royalties into any escrow or other similar account.

 

7.16 Currency. Forty Seven will calculate the royalty on sales in currencies other than U.S. Dollars using the appropriate foreign exchange rate for the currency quoted by the Wall Street Journal on the close of business on the last banking day of each calendar quarter. Forty Seven will make royalty payments to Stanford in U.S. Dollars.

 

7.17 Non-U.S. Taxes. Forty Seven will pay all non-U.S. taxes related to royalty payments. These payments are not deductible from any payments due to Stanford.

 

7.18 Interest. Any payments not made when due will bear interest at the lower of (a) the Prime Rate published in the Wall Street Journal plus [*] basis points, or (b) the maximum rate permitted by law.

 

8. ROYALTY REPORTS, PAYMENTS, AND ACCOUNTING

 

8.1 Quarterly Earned Royalty Payment and Report. Beginning with the first sale of a Licensed Product by Forty Seven, its affiliate, or a sublicensee, Forty Seven will submit to Stanford a written report (even if there are no sales) and an earned royalty payment within [*] days after the end of each calendar quarter. This report will be in the form of Appendix B and will state the number, description, and aggregate Net Sales of Licensed Product during the completed calendar quarter. The report will include an overview of the process and documents relied upon to permit Stanford to understand how the earned royalties are calculated. With each report Forty Seven will include any earned royalty payment due Stanford for the completed calendar quarter (as calculated under Section 7.8).

 

8.2 No Refund. In the event that a validity or non-infringement challenge of a Licensed Patent brought by Forty Seven is successful, Forty Seven will have no right to recoup any royalties paid before or during the period challenge.

 

8.3 Termination Report. Forty Seven will pay to Stanford all applicable unpaid royalties accrued as of the date of termination and submit to Stanford a written report within [*] days after the license terminates. Forty Seven will continue to submit earned royalty payments and reports to Stanford after the license terminates, until all Licensed Products made or imported under the license have been sold.

 

8.4 Accounting. Forty Seven will maintain records showing manufacture, importation, sale, and use of a Licensed Product for [*] years from the date of sale of that Licensed Product. Records will

 

 

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

  include general-ledger records showing cash receipts and expenses, and records that include: production records, customers, invoices, serial numbers, and related information in sufficient detail to enable Stanford to determine the royalties payable under this Agreement.

 

8.5 Audit by Stanford. Upon reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours, Forty Seven will allow Stanford or its designee to examine Forty Seven’s records kept in accordance with Section 8.4, no more than [*], to verify payments made by Forty Seven under this Agreement.

 

8.6 Paying for Audit. Stanford will pay for any audit done under Section 8.5. But if the audit reveals an underreporting of earned royalties due Stanford of [*] or more for the period being audited, Forty Seven will pay the out-of-pocket audit costs reasonably incurred by Stanford.

 

8.7 Self-audit. Forty Seven will conduct an independent audit of sales and royalties at least [*] if annual sales of Licensed Product are over $[*]. The audit will address, at a minimum, the amount of gross sales by or on behalf of Forty Seven during the audit period, the amount of funds owed to Stanford under this Agreement, and whether the amount owed has been paid to Stanford and is reflected in the records of Forty Seven. Forty Seven will submit the auditor’s report promptly to Stanford upon completion. Forty Seven will pay for the entire cost of the audit.

 

9. EXCLUSIONS AND NEGATION OF WARRANTIES

 

9.1 Negation of Warranties. Stanford provides Forty Seven the rights granted in this Agreement AS IS and WITH ALL FAULTS. Stanford makes no representations and extends no warranties of any kind, either express or implied. Among other things, Stanford disclaims any express or implied warranty:

10. INDEMNITY

 

10.1 Indemnification.

 

  (A) Forty Seven will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend all Stanford Indemnitees against any claim of any kind arising out of or related to the exercise of any rights granted Forty Seven under this Agreement or the breach of this Agreement by Forty Seven. Stanford agrees to inform Forty Seven promptly in writing of any claim or threatened claim that may give rise to an obligation of indemnity under this Agreement of which Stanford becomes aware. Forty Seven’s obligations to a Stanford Indemnitee under this section shall be relieved only to the extent that Forty Seven can demonstrate material prejudice caused by (1) Stanford’s failure to provide adequate or timely notice of the claim; (2) the Stanford Indemnitee making an admission regarding such claim without the prior written consent of Forty Seven, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and (3) the

 

 

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

  gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stanford Indemnitee. Stanford will provide Forty Seven with the first right to defend and settle and exclusive control of the defense or settlement of each such claim, provided that Forty Seven must do so in a manner that does not adversely affect Stanford’s interests and it must obtain Stanford’s prior consent to any settlement (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Forty Seven shall have no obligation for any claim that may be the subject of this Section 10.1(A) to the extent resulting from any Stanford Indemnitee’s conduct of the clinical trials of Hu5F9 until and to the extent Forty Seven and Stanford enter into an agreement for the conduct of any such clinical trial in which Forty Seven shall indemnify Stanford for claims arising from such clinical trial, which agreement, upon execution by the parties shall govern their respective indemnification obligations with respect to such clinical trial.

 

  (B) HHMI Indemnitees will be indemnified, defended by counsel acceptable to HHMI, and held harmless by Forty Seven from and against any claim, liability, cost, expense, damage, deficiency, loss, or obligation, of any kind or nature (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses of defense) (collectively, “Claims”), based upon, arising out of, or otherwise relating to this Agreement, including without limitation any cause of action relating to product liability.

Notwithstanding Section 10.2 or any other provision of this Agreement, Forty Seven’s obligation to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the HHMI Indemnitees under this paragraph will not be subject to any limitation or exclusion of liability or damages or otherwise limited in any way.

 

10.2 No Indirect Liability. Neither party shall be liable for any special, consequential, lost profit, expectation, punitive or other indirect damages in connection with any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement, whether grounded in tort (including negligence), strict liability, contract, or otherwise.

 

10.3 Workers’ Compensation. Forty Seven will comply with all statutory workers’ compensation and employers’ liability requirements for activities performed under this Agreement.

 

10.4 Insurance. Prior to the first testing of a Licensed Product by Forty Seven in a human and thereafter during the term of this Agreement, Forty Seven will maintain Comprehensive General Liability Insurance, including Product Liability Insurance, with a reputable and financially secure insurance carrier to cover the activities of Forty Seven and its sublicensees.

Insurance must cover claims incurred, discovered, manifested, or made during or after the expiration of this Agreement and must be placed with carriers with ratings of at least A- as rated by A.M. Best. Within [*] days of the Effective Date of this Agreement, Forty Seven will furnish a Certificate of Insurance evidencing primary coverage and additional insured requirements. Forty Seven will provide to Stanford [*] days prior written notice of cancellation or material change to this insurance coverage. Forty Seven will advise Stanford in writing that it maintains excess liability coverage (following form) over primary insurance for at least the minimum limits set forth above. All insurance of Forty Seven will be primary coverage; insurance of Stanford Indemnitees and HHMI Indemnitees will be excess and noncontributory.

 

11. EXPORT

Forty Seven and its Affiliates and sublicensees shall comply with all United States laws and regulations controlling the export of licensed commodities and technical data.

14. PROSECUTION AND PROTECTION OF PATENTS

 

14.1 Patent Prosecution.

 

  (A) Following the Effective Date, Forty Seven will be responsible for Forty Seven Patent Matters.

Forty Seven will promptly notify Stanford if it believes a third party infringes a Licensed Patent or if a third party files a declaratory judgment action with respect to any Licensed Patent. During the Exclusive term of this Agreement and if Forty Seven is developing Licensed Product, Forty Seven will have the right to institute a suit against or defend any declaratory judgment action initiated by this third party that relates to a Limited Exclusive Patent and/or an Exclusive Patent as provided in Section 14.4 through and including Section 14.9. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that any action described in this Section 14.3 relates to any claims in the SIRPα Component Patents, the parties agree to meet and discuss any action as to the SIRPα Component Patents, and come to a mutual agreement with respect to such actions before moving forward as provided in Section 14.7.

 

14.4 Forty Seven Suit. Forty Seven, itself or through a designee, has the first right to institute suit, or defend any action for declaratory judgment, relating to the Exclusive Patents and/or the Limited Exclusive Patents, and may name Stanford, subject to the requirements of this Section 14.4, as a party for standing purposes. If Forty Seven decides to institute suit, it will notify Stanford in writing. Forty Seven will bear the entire cost of the litigation. Stanford may be named as a party in a suit initiated by Forty Seven (other than in accordance with Section 14.5 below) only if:
