ARTICLE 2
SELECTION AND EXCHANGE OF DISEASE FIELDS IN THE FIELDS

2.1 Selection of Disease Fields.

2.1.1. Selection of Exclusive Disease Fields. The Exclusive Disease Fields shall be: (1) herpes simplex virus (HSV) and (2) Chlamydia. For clarity, Genocea may not exchange these Exclusive Disease Fields unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the Parties in writing.

2.1.2. Selection of Time-Limited Exclusive Fields. Until twelve (12) months after the Effective Date, Genocea shall have the right, at any time, to appoint up to three (3) Time-Limited Exclusive Disease Fields (each such additional field as they may be exchanged pursuant to the terms hereof, an “Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field” and collectively, the “Time-Limited Exclusive Option Fields”) subject to compliance with the procedure in Section 2.1.2(a) of this Agreement. This notwithstanding, Genocea shall use reasonable efforts to appoint the Time-Limited Exclusive Option Fields by December 31, 2009. At no time during the Agreement Term shall there be more than three (3) Time-Limited Exclusive Option Fields unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the Parties in writing.

(a) Procedures for Selection of Time-Limited Exclusive Option Fields. Prior to the designation of any Disease as a Time-Limited Exclusive Field hereunder, Genocea shall deliver a written notice to Isconova stating the Disease (the “Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field Candidate”) that Genocea has chosen to designate as a Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field (the “Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field Selection Request”). Within twenty (20) Business Days of Isconova’s receipt of a Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field Selection Request, Isconova shall notify Genocea if the said Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field Candidate is not available to license to Genocea for Legitimate Business Reasons, as defined in the next sentence, which notice shall describe the Legitimate Business Reason that such Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field Candidate is not available. The Parties agree that Isconova shall be entitled to deny a Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field Candidate only under the following circumstances: (i) if Isconova had already granted to a Third Party a license under the Licensed Technology for the development or commercialization of a vaccine

product for the prevention, treatment or modulation in humans of the Disease set forth in the Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field Selection Request; (ii) if Isconova has agreed with a Third Party on the material terms for the grant of a license described in clause (i); or (iii) if Isconova has commenced bona fide practical and demonstrable development work using the Licensed Technology for such Disease against a written development plan or other documentation for such purpose (the foregoing, collectively, the “Legitimate Business Reasons”). Genocea acknowledges that Isconova may be under duty of confidentiality not to disclose the identity of such Third Party.

Upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice by Genocea, Isconova shall permit an independent auditor appointed by Genocea, at Genocea’s expense, to have access during normal business hours and no more than once a year to such records as may be reasonably necessary to verify Isconova’s determination that Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field Candidate is not available for a Legitimate Business Reason. The auditor shall execute a non-disclosure agreement with Isconova’s to treat all information it receives during its inspection in confidence. The auditor shall disclose to Genocea only whether Isconova had a Legitimate Business Reason to refuse to accept the Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field Candidate. No other information shall be shared by the auditor without the prior consent of Isconova unless disclosure is required by law.

If Isconova notifies Genocea within such 20-Business Day period that the Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field Candidate is not available, the Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field Selection Request shall be deemed rightfully denied by Isconova (subject to Genocea’s right to have such determination audited in accordance with the preceding paragraph), and the Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field Candidate will not become a Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field. If any Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field Selection Request is rightfully denied by Isconova, Genocea shall have the right to nominate any other Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field Candidate. If Isconova either (i) does not respond to a Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field Selection Request within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt or (ii) notifies Genocea that there is not a Legitimate Business Reason to deny the Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field Candidate, the Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field Candidate referenced in the Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field Selection Request shall automatically become designated as a Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field (and therefore, a Time-Limited Exclusive Disease Field) under this Agreement as of the earlier of: (i) the date Genocea receives such notice from Isconova or (ii) twenty (20) Business Days after Isconova’s receipt of the Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field Selection Request (the “Time-Limited Exclusive Field Date”).

2.1.3. Selection of Non-Exclusive Fields Until twenty-four (24) months after the Effective Date, Genocea shall have the right, at any time, to appoint up to five (5) Non-

Exclusive Disease Fields (each such additional field as they may be exchanged pursuant to the terms hereof, an “Non-Exclusive Option Field” and collectively, the “Non-Exclusive Option Fields”) subject to compliance with the procedure in Section 2.1.3(a) of this Agreement. At no time during the Agreement Term shall there be more than five (5) Non-Exclusive Option Fields unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the Parties in writing.

(a) Procedures for Selection of Non-Exclusive Option Fields. Prior to the designation of any Disease as a Non-Exclusive Option Field hereunder, Genocea shall deliver a written notice to Isconova stating the Disease (the “Non-Exclusive Option Field Candidate”) that Genocea has chosen to designate as an Option Field (the “Non-Exclusive Option Field Selection Request”). Within twenty (20) Business Days of Isconova’s receipt of an Non-Exclusive Option Field Selection Request, Isconova shall notify Genocea if Isconova, at the time of Isconova’s receipt of such request, (i) Isconova had already granted to a Third Party an exclusive license under the Licensed Technology for the development or commercialization of a vaccine product for the prevention, treatment or modulation in humans of the Disease set forth in the Non-Exclusive Field Option Field Selection Request or (ii) Isconova has agreed with a Third Party on the material terms for the grant of a license described in clause (i). Genocea acknowledges that Isconova may be under duty of confidentiality not to disclose the identity of such Third Party.

If Isconova notifies Genocea within such time period that the events in either clause (i) or (ii) of this Section apply, the Non-Exclusive Option Field Selection Request shall be deemed rightfully denied by Isconova and the Non-Exclusive Option Field Candidate will not become a Non-Exclusive Option Field. If any Non-Exclusive Option Field Selection Request is rightfully denied by Isconova, Genocea shall have the right to nominate any other Non-Exclusive Option Field Candidate. For the avoidance of doubt, Isconova can only deny a Non-Exclusive Option Field Selection Request if the events in either clause (i) or (ii) of this Section apply. If Isconova either (i) does not respond to a Non-Exclusive Option Field Selection Request within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt or (ii) notifies Genocea that the events set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 2.1.3(a) do not apply, the Non-Exclusive Option Field Candidate referenced in the Non-Exclusive Option Field Selection Request shall automatically become designated as a Non-Exclusive Option Field (and therefore, a Non-Exclusive Disease Field) under this Agreement as of the earlier of: (i) the date Genocea receives such notice from Isconova or (ii) twenty (20) Business Days after Isconova’s receipt of the Non-Exclusive Option Field Selection Request.

2.2 Exchange of Time-Limited Exclusive Option Fields and Non-Exclusive Option Fields.

2.2.1. Exchange of Time-Limited Exclusive Option Fields. Until the earlier of: (a) twenty-four (24) months following the Effective Date and (b) the date on which three (3) Exchange Field Candidates have been accepted as Time-Limited Exclusive Fields (and therefore, Time-Limited Exclusive Disease Fields) by Isconova pursuant to Section 2.2.3, Genocea shall have the right to replace the Disease underlying one or more of the Time-Limited Exclusive Fields with another Disease subject to compliance with the procedure in Section 2.2.3 of this Agreement.

2.2.2. Exchange of Non-Exclusive Option Fields. Until the earlier of: (a) twenty-four (24) months following the Effective Date and (b) the date on which five (5) Exchange Field Candidates have been accepted as Non-Exclusive Option Fields (and therefore, Non-Exclusive Disease Fields) by Isconova pursuant to Section 2.2.3. Genocea shall have the right to replace the Disease underlying one or more of the Non-Exclusive Option Fields for another Disease subject to compliance with the procedure in Section 2.2.3 of this Agreement.

2.2.3. Procedures for Exchange of Disease Field. Prior to the replacement of any Time-Limited Exclusive Disease Field or Non-Exclusive Disease Field pursuant to Section 2.2.1 or Section 2.2.2, Genocea shall deliver a written notice to Isconova stating the Disease (the “Exchange Field Candidate”) with which Genocea would like to replace a Disease that, at the time, then underlies a Time-Limited Exclusive Disease Field or Non-Exclusive Disease Field, as the case may be, (“Disease Field Exchange Request”). Following a Disease Field Exchange Request, the procedures for selecting Time-Limited Exclusive Option Fields in Section 2.1.2(a) and Non-Exclusive Option Fields in Section 2.1.3(a), as the case may be, will apply with necessary changes (mutatis mutandis). For this purpose, such provisions shall be applied by treating all references in such sections to the “Time-Limited Exclusive Option Field Candidate” and the “Non-Exclusive Option Field Candidate”, respectively, as though they were references to the Exchange Field Candidate referenced in the Disease Field Exchange Request.

2.2.4. Effects of Exchange. In the event that Genocea exchanges a Time-Limited Exclusive Field or Non-Exclusive Field as set out above, all licenses granted to Genocea under this Agreement with respect to the replaced Time-Limited Exclusive Field or Non-Exclusive Field, as the case may be, shall terminate.

2.3 Excluded Disease Fields. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, Genocea agrees and acknowledges (i) that the prevention, treatment or modulation in humans of the Excluded Diseases are fully reserved for Isconova, and shall not be available to Genocea as Time-Limited Exclusive Disease Fields or Non-Exclusive Option Disease Fields, and (ii) that the prevention, treatment or modulation in humans of the Excluded Time-Limited Exclusive Field Diseases are partly reserved for Isconova, and shall only be available to Genocea as Non-Exclusive Option Disease Fields.

ARTICLE 3
LICENSES, RELATED GRANTS OF RIGHTS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNERSHIP

3.1 Grants of Rights to Genocea.

3.1.1. Exclusive License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Isconova hereby grants to Genocea and its Affiliates during the Agreement Term an exclusive (even with respect to Isconova), royalty-bearing license, with the right to grant sublicenses pursuant to Section 3.1.5 below, under the Licensed Technology to import, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and otherwise exploit Licensed Products in the Exclusive Field in the Territory and otherwise exploit the Licensed Know-How in connection therewith.

This notwithstanding, Genocea shall have the right to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize the Licensed Adjuvant as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Supply and Manufacturing Agreement and any other written agreement entered into by the Parties.

3.1.2. Time-Limited Exclusive License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Isconova hereby grants to Genocea and its Affiliates during the Agreement Term an exclusive (even with respect to Isconova), limited in time (as set forth below), royalty-bearing license, with the right to grant sublicenses pursuant to Section 3.1.5 below, under the Licensed Technology to import, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and otherwise exploit Licensed Products in the Time-Limited Exclusive Field in the Territory and otherwise exploit the Licensed Know-How in connection therewith. This license shall be exclusive, on a Time-Limited Exclusive Field by Time-Limited Exclusive Field basis, until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Time-Limited Exclusive Field Date for such Time-Limited Exclusive Field (including any Time-Limited Exclusive Field exchanged for any Time-Limited Exclusive Field pursuant to Section 2.2.3; provided, however that any such exchange will not prolong the 5-year exclusivity period, i.e. the 5-year period will run from the applicable Time-Exclusive Field Date regardless of any exchange within that Time-Limited Exclusive Field), after which this license shall automatically become non-exclusive, provided, however, that with respect to the Joint Technology which comprises part of the Licensed Technology hereunder, the grant of rights to Genocea and its Affiliates by Isconova shall continue to be exclusive (even with respect to Isconova) in the Time-Limited Exclusive Field in the Territory. During this five-year exclusivity period, Isconova further undertakes not to license to a Third Party nor for any Third Party’s benefit engage in the research or development of any Licensed Products within the Time-Limited Exclusive Field.

3.1.3. Non-Exclusive License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Isconova hereby grants to Genocea and its Affiliates during the Agreement Term a non-exclusive, royalty-bearing license, with the right to grant sublicenses pursuant to Section 3.1.5 below, under the Licensed Technology to import, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and otherwise exploit Licensed Products in the Non-Exclusive Field in the Territory and otherwise exploit the Licensed Know-How in connection therewith; provided, however, that with respect to the Joint Technology which comprises part of the Licensed Technology hereunder, the grant of rights to Genocea and its Affiliates by Isconova shall be exclusive (even with respect to Isconova) in the Non-Exclusive Field in the Territory.

3.1.4. Limited Right to use Isconova’s Trademarks. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Isconova hereby grants to Genocea and its Affiliates during the Agreement Term the non-exclusive, sublicenseable and non-transferable right to use Isconova’s trademark(s) for the Licensed Adjuvants, as applicable from time to time (the “Trademarks”) in connection with the Manufacture and Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory, provided, however, (a) that such use shall be in accordance with Isconova’s branding and trademark policy as applicable from time to time as long as such policy has been provided by Isconova to Genocea, and (b) that Genocea may only sublicense its rights to the Trademarks to those parties to whom it sublicenses the license granted in Section 3.1.1. Other than Genocea’s limited right to use the Trademarks as set forth in this Section 3.1.4, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a grant, assignment or transfer of any Trademarks or any of the intellectual property rights therein or relating thereto.

3.1.5. Sublicenses. Genocea shall have the right to sublicense the rights granted by Isconova to Genocea in Sections 3.1.1 through 3.1.3: provided that, unless Genocea obtains Isconova’s prior written consent, Genocea shall only be able to sublicense such rights to (i) one (1) Third Party in each country in the Territory and (ii) those Third Parties who are engaged for the distribution of Licensed Products on behalf of Genocea, including but not limited to wholesalers, retailers and distributors of Licensed Products. For the avoidance of doubt, a Third Party Sublicensee who is granted a sublicense by Genocea under this Section 3.1.5 shall not be able to sub-sublicense their sublicensed rights to any Third Party other than those Third Parties who are engaged for the distribution of Licensed Products by the Third Party Sublicensee (including but not limited to wholesalers, retailers and distributors of Licensed Products) without Isconova’s prior written consent. Each sublicense granted by Genocea pursuant to this Section 3.1.5 shall be subject and subordinate to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall contain terms and conditions consistent with those in this Agreement, including confidentiality and indemnity obligations comparable to those set forth herein. Genocea shall cause any Sublicensee to execute an Isconova Commercial Partner Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. Genocea remains primarily responsible for the performance of its Sublicensees under this Agreement. If this Agreement terminates for any reason, any Sublicensee of Genocea that is then not in default shall, from the

effective date of such termination, automatically become a direct licensee of Isconova with respect to and on the same terms as the rights originally sublicensed to the Sublicensee by Genocea, and Isconova agrees that it shall confirm the foregoing in writing at the request and for the benefit of the Sublicensee, as further set forth in the Isconova Commercial Partner Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall Isconova have obligations to any Sublicensee that are greater than those owed to Genocea hereunder as a result of the preceding sentence.

(a) Supply Agreements and Related Arrangements with Sublicensees. At Genocea’s request, Isconova shall enter into a supply and manufacturing agreement with any Sublicensee of Genocea under which Isconova will manufacture and supply Licensed Adjuvants directly to such Sublicensee on the same terms as those set forth in this Agreement and the Supply and Manufacturing Agreement. In addition, Isconova shall, at Genocea’s election, deliver Licensed Adjuvants manufactured hereunder or under the Supply and Manufacturing Agreement to Genocea or a Sublicensee of Genocea.

3.1.6. Right to Reference. Isconova hereby grants to Genocea a “Right to Reference,” as that term is defined in 21 C.F.R. § 314.3(b), to any data Controlled by Isconova or its Affiliates that relates to the Isconova Technology or to any Licensed Product, and Isconova shall provide a signed statement to this effect, if requested by Genocea, in accordance with 21 C.F.R. § 314.50(g)(3).

3.2 Grant of Rights to Data to Isconova

3.2.1. Pre-Clinical and Clinical Data. Genocea hereby grants Isconova a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual limited license to Pre-Clinical Data and Clinical Trial Data solely for, and limited to, the use by Isconova of such Pre-Clinical Data and Clinical Trial Data for (i) its own internal research purposes, (ii) marketing and publishing purposes and (iii) to engage in fundraising activities with private or governmental investors, funders or grantors who have entered into confidentiality agreements no less restrictive than the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement; provided, however that Isconova can only use Pre-Clinical Data and Clinical Trial Data pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 3.2.1 if, prior to each use of such data, Isconova presents its intended use of the Pre-Clinical Data and/or Clinical Trial Data to Genocea and receives Genocea’s written consent for such specific marketing and/or publishing use. Such written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

3.2.2. Adjuvant Data. For the avoidance of doubt, Isconova shall be free to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize adjuvant products, designs or processes or analytical procedures and related data arising from the Development activities performed under this Agreement; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, activities conducted by Isconova under this Section 3.2.2 are subject to the licenses granted to Genocea in Section 3.1.1 above and subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in ARTICLE 8 herein.

3.2.3. Adjuvant Data in Combination with Antigen Data. Subject to Genocea’s prior written consent, which is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Isconova shall have the right to include data which both (i) arises from Development activities performed under this Agreement and (ii) relates to the Licensed Adjuvant in any Drug Master File Isconova may file with either the FDA or other Regulatory Authorities; provided, however, that in no event shall the data included in a Drug Master File pursuant to this Section 3.2.3 include identifying characteristics of any Genocea Antigens and that, furthermore, Genocea shall have the right to review such filings prior to their submission and redact any antigen-related information from the data prior to its disclosure to Isconova under this Section 3.2.3.

For the avoidance of doubt, each Party reserves all rights not expressly granted herein, and any express reservations of rights set forth herein shall not be construed as limiting such reservation or conferring by implication, estoppel or otherwise any grant or license or other right under any patent or other right of intellectual property or confidential information other than those rights expressly set forth herein.

ARTICLE 4
RESEARCH PROGRAM

4.1 Scope of Research. Genocea and Isconova will collaborate during the Research Term to conduct research to assist in the identification, evaluation and Development of vaccine product candidates containing both the Licensed Adjuvant and one or more Genocea Antigens pursuant to the Research and Phase 1 Supply Plan and the Development and Scale-Up Plan.

4.2 Development and Scale-Up Plan. Isconova’s internal Development activities during the Research Term will be performed in accordance with the Development and Scale-Up Plan and the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including this ARTICLE 4. Isconova undertakes to work diligently and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform activities under the Development and Scale-Up Plan in accordance with the timelines set forth in the Development and Scale-Up Plan. The Development and Scale-Up Plan may only be amended by written agreement of both Parties; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Isconova may amend the Development and Scale-Up Plan solely as it pertains to the product and process designs of the Matrix-A, Matrix-C and Matrix-M technologies, in its sole discretion, at any time during the Research Term, further provided that Isconova shall notify Genocea prior to making such modifications and that no such modifications may adversely affect the core activities, deliverables or timelines of the Development and Scale-Up Plan without Genocea’s prior written consent. Isconova will at all times during the Research Term maintain the necessary financial and human resources to complete the activities of Isconova set forth in the Development and Scale-Up Plan.

4.3 Research and Phase 1 Supply Plan. All research conducted in connection with this Agreement will be performed by Genocea and Isconova in accordance with the Research and Phase 1 Supply Plan and the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including this ARTICLE 4. Each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform activities allocated to it under the Research and Phase 1 Supply Plan in accordance with the timeline set forth in the Research and Phase 1 Supply Plan. The Research and Phase 1 Supply Plan sets forth an estimated timeline and the allocation of responsibilities between Genocea and Isconova. Any Changes to the “Phase I Supply Plan” in the Research and Phase I Supply Plan require the Parties’ mutual agreement. Genocea reserves the right to modify the “Research” section in the Research and Phase I Supply Plan, in its sole discretion, provided, however, that any material changes in the support or effort requested from Isconova requires the Parties’ mutual agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, specialized services such as animal studies, non-GLP tox studies or other services requiring extensive laboratory work are not included in the Research and Phase I Supply Plan, and are outside the scope of this Agreement. If Genocea should request such specialized services from Isconova, a separate agreement governing the provision of such services will be required before such services are provided by Isconova.

4.4 Meetings. The Parties shall establish a joint steering committee (“JSC”) that will be responsible for overseeing the activities under the Development and Scale-Up Plan, the Research and Phase 1 Supply Plan and any results of pre-clinical activities and Clinical Trials conducted pursuant to this Agreement. The JSC will be comprised of at least two (2) representatives from each Party who are familiar with the Parties’ relationship under this Agreement shall meet, either in person or via teleconference, initially once a month.

ARTICLE 6
FINANCIAL PROVISIONS

6.1 Initial Payments. As consideration for the selection of the Exclusive Fields and the Time-Limited Exclusive Fields, Genocea shall pay to Isconova a non-creditable, non-refundable fee of Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars ($950,000) payable in two installments of: (i) Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars ($750,000), due and payable on the Effective Date, and (ii) Two Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($200,000), due and payable on the first (1st) anniversary of Effective Date.

6.2 Upfront Payments. Prior to the commencement of any GLP toxicity study for the first Licensed Product by Genocea, its Affiliates or a Sublicensee in each of the Non-Exclusive Disease Fields, Genocea shall pay to Isconova an upfront, non-creditable, non-refundable fee of [* * *].

For the avoidance of doubt, payments under this Section 6.2 shall only be payable by Genocea once for each unique Disease Field, irrespective of the number of Licensed Products in any given Disease Field that become the subject of a GLP toxicity study.

6.3 Development Milestones. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement including, without limitation, Section 6.8 below, Genocea shall pay Isconova a milestone payment (each, an “Development Milestone Payment”) for the first Licensed Product in each unique Disease Field to achieve the following events, whether such event is achieved by Genocea, its Affiliates or a Sublicensee (each, an “Development Milestone”) in the particular amounts specified below within thirty (30) Business Days after the occurrence of the relevant Development Milestone:

Development Milestone	Milestone Payment
A) [* * *]	USD $	[* * *]
B) [* * *]	USD $	[* * *]
C) [* * *]	USD $	[* * *]
D) [* * *]	USD $	[* * *]

As used in the table above, “Initiation” of a Clinical Trial shall mean that that the first human subject has received the first dose in such Clinical Trial.

Irrespective of the number of Licensed Products that achieve a Development Milestone, Genocea shall only be obligated to make a Development Milestone Payment once for the first Licensed Product in each unique Disease Field to reach the Development Milestone. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the first Licensed Product should reach one milestone but not the next, then Genocea shall make such Development Milestone Payments due for the second Licensed Product to reach this next Development Milestone. Example: The first Licensed Product in a unique Disease Area reaches Development Milestones A and B, but not C. If a second Licensed Product in the same Disease Field should reach Development Milestone C, for the second Licensed Product Genocea would pay Isconova for Development Milestone C (but not for Development Milestone A and B).

6.4 Royalty Payments. In consideration for the licenses granted to Genocea under Section 3.1.1, Genocea shall pay to Isconova Royalties on Net Sales of Licensed Products in the Territory as set forth in Section 6.4.1 below.

6.4.1. Royalty Rates. Genocea shall pay to Isconova royalties on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis in the amount of the applicable royalty rates set forth in the following table. Such royalties rates are dependent on both (a) the stage of Development of a Licensed Product, during which Genocea enters into a definitive agreement with a Third Party, if any, pursuant to which the Third Party shall perform or control a substantial part of or all of the Development and Commercialization activities with regards to such Licensed Product and such country(-ies) (such agreement, a “Partnership”); provided, however, that agreements with Third Party service providers (e.g. contract manufacturers, development and/or formulation services providers, pre-clinical service providers and clinical service providers) shall not constitute a Partnership hereunder; and (b) the Net Sales obtained by Genocea, its Affiliates or Sublicensees from the sale of each Licensed Product in the Territory during each Contract Year. For example, if Genocea enters into a Partnership for Licensed Products A, B and C for China, but not for Licensed Products D, E and F, then a Partnership shall be deemed to exist solely with respect to Licensed Products A, B, C in China, but not for (i) Licensed Products A, B, C in any other country in the Territory or (ii) Licensed Products D, E and F anywhere in the Territory.

	Stage of Licensed Product’s Development upon Genocea’s Entry into a Partnership for such Licensed Product
	*[ * ]*	*[ * ]*	*[ * ]*	*[ * ]*
Portion of Net Sales of Licensed Product in a Contract Year
Under $[* * *]	[* * *]%	[* * *]%	[* * *]%	[* * *]%
Over $[* * *]	[* * *]%	[* * *]%	[* * *]%	[* * *]%

The royalty rates set forth in the table above shall apply only to that portion of the Net Sales in a Contract Year of a particular Licensed Product that fall within the indicated range. For example, if the Net Sales of a particular Licensed Product (for which Genocea entered into a Partnership following submission of an IND but prior to the commencement of a Phase 3 Clinical Trial) equal $1.25 billion, the total royalty for such Licensed Product during the corresponding Contract Year would be equal to the specified royalty rate for the first $[* * *] of Net Sales of such Licensed Product ([* * *]) and the specified royalty rate for the second $[* * *] of Net Sales ([* * *]): ($[* * *]%) + ($[* * *]%) = $[* * *] million.

6.4.2. Adjustment in Royalty Rates due to no Valid Claim. If, during the Royalty Term, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis, a Licensed Product is not covered (in whole or in party), or is not made, does not use or is not used by a process covered by (in whole or by part), one or more Valid Claims of one or more of the Isconova Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights, then the applicable royalty rate

under Section 6.4.1, as otherwise adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, will be reduced by [* * *]. Further, any such reduction will not apply retroactively and shall thus only apply to future royalties (i.e. royalties that yet not have accrued at the date when no Valid Claim remain)

6.4.3. Expiration of Royalty Period. After the Royalty Term has expired for any Licensed Product in any country in the Territory, no further royalties shall be payable in respect of sales of such Licensed Product in such country and thereafter, the licenses granted to Genocea under Section 3.1 with respect to such Licensed Product shall be fully paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive licenses; provided, however, that if Genocea terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.4, or if Isconova terminates this Agreement due to circumstances set forth in Sections 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, Genocea shall, as from the effective date of termination, no longer be granted any licenses hereunder.

6.4.4. Cumulative Royalties. The obligation to pay royalties under this Agreement shall be imposed only once with respect to a single unit of a Licensed Product regardless of how many Valid Claims included within Licensed Patent Rights would, but for this Agreement, be infringed by the Manufacture or Commercialization of such Licensed Product.

6.5 Adjustment due to Third Party Payments. If, during the Term, Genocea enters into an agreement with a Third Party(ies) to obtain a license under a patent(s) or other right(s) or otherwise makes a payment to a Third Party(ies) in exchange for right(s) that Genocea needs in order to practice or use the Isconova Technology, then Genocea may offset the amount of royalties or other payments (which shall include without limitation milestone payments, upfront payments and any payments owed to such Third Party due to a court order) payable by Genocea to such Third Party with respect to a Licensed Product against amounts Genocea is obligated to pay Isconova under Sections 6.3, 6.4 and 6.6 for such Licensed Product; provided that (i) in no such event will any such offset reduce the payments otherwise due to Isconova under Section 6.4 by more than [* * *] in any Contract Quarter, (ii) in no such event will any such offset reduce the payments due to Isconova under Section 6.3 or 6.6 by more than [* * *] in any Contract Quarter and (iii) any such reduction will not apply retroactively and shall thus only apply to future payments (e.g. with respect to royalties, only those royalties that yet not have accrued at the date when Genocea notifies Isconova of it having entered into a Third Party agreement or having a payment obligation to a Third Party for the Isconova Technology). Amounts not used to offset payments owed to Isconova pursuant to this Section 6.5 as a result of clause (i) or clause (ii) of the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence may be carried over to future Contract Quarters until the full offset is realized. In no event shall Isconova be liable to pay to Genocea any amounts not used for set-off.

6.6 Sublicensing Income. Upon any sublicense by Genocea of the rights granted to it under Section 3.1 herein, Genocea shall be obligated to pay Isconova [* * *] of the amount equal to (i) any initial, signing or upfront fees received by Genocea from such Sublicensee as consideration for the grant of rights under the sublicense less (ii) the amount included in any such initial,

signing or upfront fee for reimbursement of actual patent prosecution expenses or funded research and development and less (iii) any payments owed, based on the receipt of such initial, signing or upfront payment, by Genocea to Third Parties under the terms of any agreement in effect as of the Effective Date, For example, if Genocea receives a sublicense fee of an upfront $500,000, including a reimbursement of patent prosecution expenses of $13,000, and Genocea is bound to pay [* * *] of any such sublicense fee to a Third Party, then Isconova will be entitled to sublicensing income of: [* * *] X [* * *]. For clarity, the Parties agree that payments that are due as a direct result of Genocea sublicensing its rights hereunder and that are not dependable on the success or development of products or services based on such sublicensed rights, shall be deemed as “upfront fees” regardless of when payment actually is made (e.g. if Genocea receives a signing fee payable in three installments). As an illustration, the payments pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 above, if received by Genocea from a Sublicensee, would qualify as upfront payments for the purposes of this Section 6.6.

6.7 Reports and Royalty Payments. Within sixty (60) days after the beginning of each Contract Quarter during the Royalty Term, Genocea shall deliver to Isconova a report setting forth for the previous Contract Quarter the following information on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis in the Territory: (a) the gross sales and Net Sales of Licensed Product, (b) the number of units sold by Genocea, its Affiliates or Sublicensees, (c) the basis for any adjustments to the royalty payable for the sale of each Licensed Product, and (d) the royalty due hereunder for the sales of each Licensed Product (the “Royalty Report”). The total royalty due for the sale of Licensed Products during such Contract Quarter shall be remitted at the time such report is made. No such reports or royalty shall be due for any Licensed Product before the First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product.

6.8 Research Funding. Genocea shall pay to Isconova in total One Million Six Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($1,600,000) payable as follows: (i) $160,000 in equal monthly installments for each remaining month in 2009 following the Effective Date and (ii) $1,440,000 in equal monthly installments during the period from January 1, 2010 until March 31, 2012. The Research Funding shall be used solely for the performance of activities under the Research and Phase 1 Supply Plan and the Development and Scale-Up Plan and, for the avoidance of doubt, solely to fund Development and research activities for human (and not veterinary) applications in accordance with such Research and Phase 1 Supply Plan and Development and Scale-Up Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, the Parties agree that this restriction shall only apply to the allocation and use of the Research Funding as such, and shall not be construed as limiting or affecting the ownership of any Isconova Technology and Joint Technology created, conceived, reduced to practice or Invented hereunder. Isconova’s ownership and/or rights to the Isconova Technology and Joint Technology shall exclusively be governed by the provisions in Section 3.3. and Isconova’s use of the Isconova Technology and Joint Technology shall be subject only to the licenses granted to Genocea in Sections 3.1.1 through 3.1.3. Isconova shall during the Research Term allocate not less than two (2) dedicated FTEs for Isconova’s research work for Genocea hereunder and each such dedicated FTE shall be paid through Research Funding. During the Research Term, Isconova shall, within fifteen (15) days after the end of each month, deliver to Genocea a report setting forth the number of Isconova FTEs that worked on activities under the Development and Scale-Up Plan and the Research and Phase 1 Supply Plan, as well as other costs and expenses of Isconova evidencing recourses spent on Isconova’s research work hereunder. Researching Funding

payments shall be made within fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar month.

6.9 Repayment of Research Funding. Interest shall accrue on the amounts of Research Funding actually paid to Isconova at [* * *], however capped at [* * *] percent. Isconova shall repay the Research Funding plus interest as follows. Isconova shall pay to Genocea [* * *] of any monetary consideration received by Isconova from Third Parties in connection with the development or commercialization of vaccine products within the human field such as initial, signing or upfront fees, milestones and royalties; provided that Isconova shall not be obliged to pay to Genocea any portion of (i) payments received by Isconova for reimbursement of actual patent prosecution expenses or funded research and development, or (ii) research grants from not-for-profit organizations, including the EU. Further, at Genocea’s election, all outstanding amounts paid by Genocea to Isconova as Research Funding under Section 6.8 together with accrued interest shall be deducted from any milestone payments owed by Genocea to Isconova pursuant to Section 6.3 above at the time such milestone payment(s) are due; provided, however that no milestone payment owed by Genocea to Isconova hereunder may be reduced by more than [* * *] and provided further, however that no deduction may be made from a payment owed to Isconova for the achievement of milestone A in Section 6.3 above (Initiation of the first Phase 1 Clinical Trial of the Licensed Product). If Isconova has not repaid the Research Funding plus accrued interest by December 31, 2015, Genocea may, by thirty (30) days’ written prior notice, request that Isconova pay any outstanding amount (at Genocea’s option) in cash or by set-off against deliveries of License Adjuvants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, in no event shall Isconova be obliged to repay to Genocea with an amount exceeding the Research Funding actually paid by Genocea, plus interest as set out above.

6.10 Payment Provisions Generally.

6.10.1. Taxes and Withholding. If laws, rules or regulations require withholding of income taxes or other taxes imposed upon payments set forth in this ARTICLE 6, Genocea shall make such withholding payments as required and subtract such withholding payments from the payments set forth in this ARTICLE 6. Genocea shall submit appropriate proof of payment of the withholding taxes to Isconova within a reasonable period of time. At the request of Isconova, Genocea shall give Isconova such reasonable assistance, which shall include the provision of appropriate certificates of such deductions made together with other supporting documentation as may be required by the relevant tax authority, to enable Isconova to claim exemption from such withholding or other tax imposed or obtain a repayment thereof or reduction thereof and shall upon request provide such additional documentation from time to time as is reasonably required to confirm the payment of tax.

6.10.2. Payment and Currency Exchange.

(a) All amounts payable and calculations hereunder shall be in United States dollars and shall be paid by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account as may be designated in writing by Isconova or Genocea, as applicable, from time to time. Whenever for the purposes of calculating the royalties or costs payable hereunder conversion from any foreign currency shall be required, all amounts shall first be calculated in the currency of sale or

currency of incurrence and then converted into United States dollars by applying the average monthly rate of exchange listed in the New York edition of The Wall Street Journal for the final month of the applicable Contract Quarter.

(b) Where royalty amounts are due for Net Sales in a country where, for reasons of currency, tax or other regulations, transfer of foreign currency out of such country is prohibited, Genocea has the right to place Isconova’s royalties in a bank account in such country in the name of and under the sole control of Isconova; provided, however, that the bank selected be reasonably acceptable to Isconova and that Genocea inform Isconova of the location, account number, amount and currency of money deposited therein. After Isconova has been so notified, those monies shall be considered as royalties duly paid to Isconova and will be completely controlled by Isconova.

(c) When in any country in the Territory the law or regulations prohibit both the transmittal and the deposit of royalties on sales in such country, royalty payments due on Net Sales shall be suspended for as long as such prohibition is in effect and as soon as such prohibition ceases to be in effect, all royalties that Genocea would have been under an obligation to transmit or deposit but for the prohibition shall forthwith be deposited or transmitted, to the extent allowable.

6.10.3. Records. Each Party shall keep and maintain accurate and complete records which are relevant to costs, expenses, sales and payments throughout the Territory used to determine payments to be made under this Agreement, and such records shall be maintained for a period of three (3) years from creation of individual records for examination at the other Party’s expense by an independent certified public accountant selected by the other Party as described in Section 6.10.4. A Party’s right to complete a final audit upon termination or expiration of this Agreement shall expire three (3) years after such termination or expiration. Any records or accounting information received from the other Party shall be Confidential Information of the disclosing Party for purposes of ARTICLE 8 of this Agreement. Results of any such audit shall be provided to both Parties, subject to ARTICLE 8 of this Agreement.

6.10.4. Audits and Interim Reviews.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.10.3, either Party may request (such requesting party, the “Auditing Party”) that a independent certified public accountant mutually agreed upon by the Parties, which is not either Party’s independent accounting firm, perform an audit or interim review of the other Party’s books (such other Party, the “Audited Party”) as they relate to this Agreement in order to express an opinion regarding such Party’s accounting for revenues, costs and expenses, as applicable, under this Agreement. Such audits or review shall be conducted at the expense of the Auditing Party. However, and without prejudice to any other remedy or action available due to breach of this Agreement, if the audit should determine a discrepancy between royalty or other

payments reported and the royalty or payments actually due resulting in the underpayment of royalties or payments of more than five percent (5%) then the cost and expense of the audit shall be borne by the Audited Party.

(b) Upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice from the Auditing Party, the Audited Party shall permit such accounting firm to examine the relevant books and records of the Audited Party, including any Affiliates, as may be reasonably necessary to verify the reports and information submitted by the Audited Party and the accuracy of any Royalty Report. An examination by a Party under this Section 6.10.4 (whether of the Audited Party or its Affiliates) shall occur not more than once in any Contract Year and shall be limited to the pertinent books and records for any Contract Year ending not more than thirty-six (36) months before the date of the request. The accounting firm shall be provided access to such books and records at the Audited Party’s facility(ies) where such books and records are normally kept and such examination shall be conducted during the Audited Party’s normal business hours. The Audited Party may require the accounting firm to sign a standard non-disclosure agreement with terms that are not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement before providing the accounting firm access to the Audited Party’s facilities or records. Upon completion of the audit, the accounting firm shall provide both Genocea and Isconova a written report disclosing whether the reports submitted by the Audited Party are correct or incorrect and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. No other information shall be provided to the Auditing Party. If the accountant determines that, based on errors in the reports so submitted, any report prepared in accordance with this Agreement is incorrect, the Parties shall promptly revise the report and the associated Royalty Report or Reconciliation Statement and any additional amount owed by one Party to the other shall be paid within thirty (30) days after receipt of the accountant’s report, along with interest as provided in Section 6.10.5; provided, however, that no such interest shall be payable if the errors leading to the Royalty Report being incorrect were in the reports provided by the Party to receive such additional amount. In the event of any sublicense or transfer of rights with respect to the Licensed Adjuvant or Licensed Products by a Party under this Agreement, the sublicensor or transferor shall provide for audit rights by the other Party to this Agreement in accordance with this Section 6.10.4.

6.10.5. Payments Between the Parties. In the event that (a) any payment hereunder (including any royalty payment due by Genocea to Isconova under this Agreement) is made after the date such payment was due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (other than the extent that a payment that is the subject of a good faith dispute between the Parties that has been outstanding for no more than sixty (60) Business Days), and (b) such payment is overdue by more than fifteen (15) Business Days, the paying Party shall pay interest to the other Party at the lesser of (i) the interest rate of one and a half (1.5%)

percent a month or (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law from the date that such additional amount should have first been paid.

6.11 Suspension of Royalty/Milestone Payments. In the event that (i) any Third Party commences any proceeding against Genocea, Isconova and/or any Sublicensee related to the Isconova Technology which results in the enjoinment of the research, development, commercialization and/or sale of a Licensed Product which is not a Final Decision (as defined in Section 6.11.1 below) and (ii) the underlying claim of such proceeding in clause (i) is not directly and principally attributable to activities conducted by Genocea outside the scope of the rights granted to Genocea in Section 3.1. Genocea (a) may suspend further payments of royalties and milestones due to Isconova hereunder; (b) may request (and upon such request, Isconova shall conduct) a Technology Transfer as described in Section 6.3(c) of the Supply and Manufacturing Agreement and (c) Genocea shall be relieved of its obligation to order its purchase requirements of Licensed Adjuvants from Isconova and may receive supply of Licensed Adjuvants from a party or parties of Genocea’s choosing.

6.11.1. If a court or other governmental agency of competent jurisdiction has made a final decision (including a decision confirming a settlement) or taken a final action which is not appealable or has not been appealed within the time allowed for appeal (a “Final Decision”) and such Final Decision results in the enjoinment of the research, development, commercialization and/or sale of a Licensed Product, Genocea may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Isconova. If, pursuant to the Final Decision, Genocea is not enjoined from the research, development, commercialization and/or sale of a Licensed Product and Genocea elects not to terminate this Agreement pursuant to any applicable provision other than this Section 6.11.1, then Genocea shall, as of the date of such Final Decision, resume (or continue, as the case may be) the payment of royalties and milestones to Isconova under ARTICLE 6 (subject to any reductions in accordance with this Agreement including, without limitation Sections 6.4.2 and 6.4.2) due after such date; provided, however that if Genocea has previously elected to request a Technology Transfer under this Section 6.11, Genocea shall continue to be relieved of its obligation to order its purchase requirements of Licensed Adjuvants from Isconova and may receive supply of Licensed Adjuvants from a party or parties of Genocea’s choosing. In the event of Genocea terminating this Agreement as set out in this Section 6.11.1 above, (i) the license granted to Isconova pursuant to Section 3.2 shall terminate, (ii) the licenses granted to Genocea under Section 3.1 shall continue in perpetuity and shall become royalty-free, worldwide, fully paid-up, irrevocable licenses with the right to sublicense; (iii) Genocea shall have the right to immediately terminate the Supply and Manufacturing Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2(a) of such agreement and, to the extent not already performed, Isconova shall perform a Technology Transfer as set forth in Section 6.3(c) of such agreement upon Genocea’s request; (iv) Genocea shall have no obligation to pay any royalties or milestones arising under this Agreement after the effective date of such termination; (v) Isconova shall continue to be solely responsible for all royalty, milestone, and other payments owed to any other Third Party licensor pursuant to an agreement executed by Isconova prior to the Effective Date and

(vi) any tangible manifestations or embodiments of Genocea’s Confidential Information provided by or behalf of Genocea pursuant to this Agreement shall be promptly returned by Isconova to Genocea or destroyed by Isconova. Nothing in this Section 6.11 shall limit any other legal or equitable remedies that Genocea may have hereunder.

ARTICLE 7
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION AND RELATED MATTERS

7.1 Prosecution of Patent Rights.

7.1.1. Isconova Patent Rights and Joint Patent Rights. The following terms shall apply to all Isconova Patent Rights owned by Isconova and all Joint Patent Rights.

(a) Primary Responsibility. Isconova, through counsel of its choosing, shall have primary responsibility for and control over obtaining, filing, prosecuting (including any interferences, reissue proceedings, re-examinations, oppositions, and revocations), and maintaining (collectively, “Prosecuting” or, when used as a noun, “Prosecution”) throughout the Territory the Isconova Patent Rights (and, for clarity, will be the “Prosecuting Party” with respect to the Isconova Patent Rights), and Genocea shall cooperate with Isconova in regard thereto. Genocea, through counsel of its choosing, shall have primary responsibility for and control over Prosecuting throughout the Territory the Joint Patent Rights (and, for clarity, will be the “Prosecuting Party” with respect to the Joint Patent Rights), and Isconova shall cooperate with Genocea in regard thereto. If the Prosecuting Party elects to abandon (except in the course of Prosecution to pursue such subject matter or claim in a continuing application) any subject matter or claim that relates to any of the rights licensed to the Non-Prosecuting Party hereunder, the Prosecuting Party shall so notify the Non-Prosecuting Party promptly (but no less than 30 days prior to any deadlines for Prosecution) in writing of its intention in good time to enable the Non-Prosecuting Party to meet any deadlines by which an action must be taken to preserve any such rights in such subject matter or claim, and the Non-Prosecuting Party shall be entitled to acquire control of Prosecuting such subject matter or claim and be deemed the Prosecuting Party with respect thereto.

(b) Additional Obligations. The Prosecuting Party shall keep the Non-Prosecuting Party reasonably informed of Prosecution. In addition, the Prosecuting Party shall invite the Non-Prosecuting Party to comment on any material issues relating to Prosecution well in advance of a relevant deadline and shall take into due consideration the Non-Prosecuting Party’s comments and suggestions with respect to any material actions to be taken by the Prosecuting Party.

(c) Common Interest. All information exchanged between the Parties or between the Parties’ outside patent counsel regarding Prosecution of the Isconova

Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights shall be deemed Confidential Information. In addition, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, with regard to such Prosecution of the Isconova Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights, the interests of the Parties as licensor and licensee are to obtain the strongest patent protection possible, and as such, are aligned and are legal in nature. The Parties agree and acknowledge that they have not waived, and nothing in this Agreement constitutes a waiver of, any legal privilege concerning the Isconova Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights, including privilege under the common interest doctrine and similar or related doctrines.

(d) Election Not to Continue Prosecution; Abandonment. If a Prosecuting Party elects (i) not to Prosecute patent applications for the Isconova Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights under its Prosecution control in any country, or (ii) not to continue the Prosecution of any Isconova Patent Right or Joint Patent Right under its Prosecution control in a particular country in the Territory, or (iii) not to Prosecute patent applications for the Joint Patent Rights under its Prosecution control in a particular country following a written request from the Non-Prosecuting Party to Prosecute in such country, or (iv) not to Prosecute patent applications for the Joint Patent Rights under its Prosecution control reasonably sufficient to protect the Licensed Adjuvant and Licensed Product following a written notice from the Non-Prosecuting Party setting forth the Non-Prosecuting Party’s good faith analysis of the insufficiency of the Prosecuting Party’s patent applications, then the Prosecuting Party shall so notify the Non-Prosecuting Party promptly (but no less than 30 days prior to the date that a response is due) in writing of its intention in good time to enable the Non-Prosecuting Party to meet any deadlines by which an action must be taken to establish or preserve any such rights in such patent in such country, and the Prosecuting Party shall permit the Non-Prosecuting Party, should the Non-Prosecuting Party choose to do so, to Prosecute or otherwise pursue such Isconova Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights in such country in the Non-Prosecuting Party’s own name, and the Prosecuting Party shall cooperate with the Non-Prosecuting Party in regard thereto. For clarity, the provisions (iii) and (iv) above in this Section 7.1.1(d) shall apply only to non-Prosecution or abandonment with respect to the Joint Patent Rights, and not the Isconova Patent Rights.

(e) No Grant of Conflicting or Superior Rights. Isconova covenants and agrees that it shall not grant any Third Party any right to control the Prosecution of the Isconova Patent Rights or to approve or consult with respect to any Patent Rights licensed to Genocea hereunder, in any case, that is more favorable than the rights granted to Genocea hereunder or otherwise conflicts with Genocea’s rights hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, if Isconova chooses (i) not to Prosecute patent applications for the Isconova Patent Rights under its Prosecution control in any country and/or (ii) not to continue the Prosecution of any Isconova Patent Right under its Prosecution control in a particular country in the Territory, Genocea shall have the exclusive secondary right to take the action(s) in clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence (such actions collectively, the “Secondary

Prosecution Activities”) and Isconova shall not allow any Third Party to perform any Secondary Prosecution Activity unless Genocea has informed Isconova in writing that it has elected to not perform such Secondary Prosecution Activity. Notwithstanding the above, Genocea agrees that Isconova’s covenant and Genocea’s rights to Secondary Prosecution Activities herein is granted to the extent that such covenant and rights are not in conflict with Isconova’s prior agreement with Crucell Holland B.V. dated December 21, 2006 as such agreement exists on the Effective Date, and that Isconova may have undertakings towards Crucell Holland B.V. that may take precedence over Genocea’s rights herein. Genocea further agrees that Isconova shall be free to disclose to future licensees of the Licensed Technology that an Isconova licensee has rights to Secondary Prosecution Activities as set out herein under appropriate terms of confidentiality and provided that Isconova does not disclose to such future licensees Genocea’s identity.

7.1.2. Genocea Patent Rights. Genocea, through counsel of its choosing, shall have the sole responsibility for and control over Prosecuting throughout the Territory the Genocea Patent Rights, but shall have no obligation to Prosecute such Patent Rights.

7.1.3. Cooperation. Each Party hereby agrees: (a) to make its employees, agents and consultants reasonably available to the other Party (or to the other Party’s authorized attorneys, agents or representatives), to the extent reasonably necessary to enable such Party to undertake patent Prosecution as contemplated by this Agreement; (b) to cooperate, if necessary and appropriate, with the other Party in gaining patent term extensions wherever applicable to Patent Rights that are subject to this Agreement; and (c) to endeavor in good faith to coordinate its efforts with the other Party to minimize or avoid interference with the Prosecution of the other Party’s patent applications that are subject to this Agreement.

7.1.4. Patent Procurement Costs.

(a) All Patent Procurement Costs related to Prosecuting Patent Rights hereunder shall be shared by the Parties as follows: (a) Patent Procurement Costs relating to the Prosecution of Genocea Patent Rights in the Territory shall be paid for by Genocea, (b) Patent Procurement Costs relating to the Prosecution of Joint Patent Rights in the Territory shall be borne equally by the Parties, and (c) Patent Procurement Costs relating to the Prosecution of Isconova Patent Rights in the Territory shall be borne by Isconova. This notwithstanding, should Isconova choose not to Prosecute Isconova Patent Rights and Genocea choose to Prosecute such Patent Rights as set forth in Section 7.1.1(d), then Genocea shall bear the costs related to such Prosecution, and Genocea may off-set its Procurement Costs related to such Patent Rights on a country-by-country basis from the royalty amounts attributable to the country in question that Genocea would otherwise owe Isconova hereunder.

(b) Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 7.1.4, any Patent Procurement Costs owed by Isconova to any other Third Party licensor pursuant to an agreement executed by Isconova prior to the Effective Date shall be borne solely by Isconova.

7.2 Enforcement of Patent Rights.

7.2.1. Notification. Each Party shall promptly report in writing to the other Party during the Agreement Term any (a) known or suspected infringement of any Isconova Patent Rights, Joint Patent Rights or Genocea Patent Rights claiming or relating to the Licensed Adjuvant or the Licensed Products, by a Third Party or (b) unauthorized use or misappropriation of any Confidential Information, including Isconova Technology, Joint Technology and Genocea Technology claiming or relating to the Licensed Adjuvant or Licensed Products, by a Third Party of which it becomes aware and shall provide the other Party with all available evidence supporting such infringement, or unauthorized use or misappropriation.

In respect of Licensed Products in the Territory, Isconova shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to take any reasonable measures it deems appropriate to stop infringing activities in the Field in the Territory with respect to (including initiating or prosecuting an infringement or other appropriate suit or action against any Third Party who at any time has infringed, or is suspected of infringing, or defending any declaratory judgment action with respect to) any Isconova Patent Rights claiming or relating to Licensed Products or of using without proper authorization any Isconova Know-How or Isconova Improvements. In the event that Isconova elects not to take action pursuant to this Section 7.2.2(a), Isconova shall so notify Genocea promptly in writing of its intention in good time to enable Genocea to meet any deadlines by which an action must be taken to establish or preserve any enforcement rights, and Genocea shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take any such reasonable measures to stop such infringing activities by such alleged infringer.

Rights claiming or relating to Licensed Products or of using without proper authorization any Joint Improvements, Joint Collaboration IP or Isconova Collaboration IP. In the event that Genocea elects not to take action pursuant to this Section 7.2.2(b), Genocea shall so notify Isconova promptly in writing of its intention in good time to enable Isconova to meet any deadlines by which an action must be taken to establish or preserve any enforcement rights, and Isconova shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take any such reasonable measures to stop such infringing activities by such alleged infringer. In any enforcement action involving Joint Technology, the Parties agree to be joined as parties to such enforcement action if necessary to enable the enforcement action.

(c) Genocea Technology. The following terms shall apply to all Genocea Patent Rights, Genocea Improvements, Genocea Collaboration IP and Genocea Know How owned by Genocea and, with respect to other Genocea Technology, to the extent permitted by the applicable licenses.

If required under Applicable Law in order for the initiating Party to initiate or maintain such suit, or if either Party is unable to initiate or prosecute such suit solely in its own name or it is otherwise advisable to obtain an effective legal remedy, in each case, the other Party shall join as a party to the suit and shall execute and cause its Affiliates to execute all documents necessary for the initiating Party to initiate litigation to prosecute and maintain such action. The initiating Party will keep the other Party reasonably informed of the status of the infringement suit. At the initiating Party’s request, the other Party shall provide reasonable assistance to the initiating Party in connection with an infringement suit at no charge to the initiating Party except for reimbursement by the initiating Party of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in rendering such assistance. The non-initiating Party may participate and be represented in any such suit by its own counsel at its own expense. If the Parties obtain from a Third Party, in connection with such suit under Section 7.2.2(a) or 7.2.2(b), any damages, license fees, royalties or other compensation (including any amount received in settlement of such litigation), such amounts shall be allocated as follows:

(a) to reimburse each Party for all expenses of the suit, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, court costs and other litigation expenses; and

(b) eighty percent (80%) of the balance will be paid to the initiating Party and the remaining balance shall be paid to the non-initiating Party.

7.3.1. Notice. In the event that a Third Party at any time provides written notice of a claim to, or brings an action, suit or proceeding against, any Party, or any of their respective Affiliates or Sublicensees, claiming infringement of such Third Party’s patent rights or unauthorized use or misappropriation of its know-how based upon an assertion or claim arising out of the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of a Licensed Product in the Territory (“Infringement Claim”), such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the Infringement Claim or the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, enclosing a copy of the Infringement Claim and all papers served.

7.7 Patent Term Extensions. The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to obtain all available supplementary protection certificates (“SPC”) and other extensions of the Isconova Patent Rights and Joint Patent Rights (including those available under the Hatch-Waxman Act). Each Party shall execute such authorizations and other documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the other Party to obtain such extensions. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in gaining patent term restorations, extensions or SPCs wherever applicable to Isconova Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights. The Party first eligible to seek patent term restoration or extension of any such Patent Rights or any SPC related thereto may do so; provided that, if in any country the first Party has an option to extend the patent term for only

one of several patents, the first Party shall consult with the other Party before making the election.

Patents”) and the patent publication W09611711 and patents related thereto (the “703 Patents”) are proprietary to CSL and that Isconova does not Control the ‘620’ or ‘703’ Patents nor otherwise has any rights to grant licenses under the ‘620 Patents’ or ‘703 Patents’ for human use, including within the Field. Isconova has disclosed to Genocea all material information relating to the ‘620 Patents and ‘703 Patents, and the CSL Allegations that were in Isconova’s possession as of the Effective Date, and that any documents relating to the CSL Allegations against Isconova and its Affiliate AdVet AB contain accurate information on the claims alleged by CSL against Isconova and its Affiliates on or prior to the Effective Date, and that Isconova has not omitted any material documents relating to the correspondence between Isconova’s and CSL’s attorneys in this matter. Except for claims made in the CSL Allegations regarding the ‘620 Patent’ and the ‘703 Patent’, the practice of the Matrix-A, Matrix-C and Matrix-M technologies by Isconova and by Genocea in accordance with the terms of this Agreement does not infringe the Patent Rights of any Third Party.

10.2.2. Isconova solely owns or has an exclusive license in the Field to the Isconova Patent Rights existing as of the Effective Date and is entitled to grant the licenses specified herein. Isconova has not previously assigned, transferred, conveyed or otherwise encumbered its right, title and interest in the Licensed Technology in a manner that conflicts with any rights granted to Genocea hereunder. During the Agreement Term, Isconova shall not encumber the rights granted to Genocea hereunder with respect to the Licensed Patent Rights in a manner that conflicts with any right granted to Genocea hereunder.

10.2.3. Except for the CSL Allegations, Isconova has not received any claims from a Third Party that the Licensed Patent Rights or the use thereof in the Field infringes or shall infringe any Third Party patent or other proprietary right.

10.2.4. Other than as set forth above in relation to the CSL Allegations, the ‘620 Patents’ and the ‘703 Patents’, there are no claims, judgments or settlements against or owed by Isconova or its Affiliates or pending or threatened claims or litigation relating to the Licensed Technology that would impact activities under this Agreement.

10.2.5. As of the Effective Date, neither Isconova, any of its respective employees, its Affiliates nor its agents, in their capacity as such, have been disqualified or debarred by the FDA, pursuant to 21 U.S.C. §§ 335(a) or (b), or been charged with or convicted under United States law for conduct relating to the development or approval, or otherwise relating to the regulation of any Licensed Product under the Generic Drug Enforcement Act of 1992, or any other relevant law, rule, or regulation or been disbarred, disqualified, or convicted under or for any equivalent or similar applicable foreign law, rule, or regulation.

10.2.6. The Isconova Patent Rights have been filed and diligently prosecuted in accordance with all Applicable Laws in the Territory and have been maintained, with all applicable fees with respect thereto having been paid.

10.2.7. Each of the issued Isconova Patent Rights is valid and enforceable. Isconova does, however, not give any representations or warranties that any patent applications in the Licensed Patent Right will grant.

10.3 Genocea Representations and Warranties. Genocea represents and warrants to Isconova that as of the Effective Date, and to the best knowledge of Genocea or its Affiliates, there are no claims, judgments or settlements against or owed by Genocea or its Affiliates or pending or threatened claims or litigation relating to the Genocea Technology that would impact activities under this Agreement.

10.4 Warranty Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR EXTENDS ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, TO THE OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR OTHER SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL OF THE FOREGOING. EACH PARTY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURE OR COMMERCIALIZATION OF ANY LICENSED PRODUCT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE SUCCESSFUL.

10.5 No Consequential Damages. NEITHER PARTY HERETO SHALL BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXERCISE OF ITS RIGHTS HEREUNDER, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 10.5 IS INTENDED TO LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF EITHER PARTY OR TO LIMIT A PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR BREACHES OF ITS OBLIGATION REGARDING CONFIDENTIALITY UNDER ARTICLE 8.

10.6 Indemnification and Insurance.

10.6.1. Indemnification by Genocea. Genocea shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Isconova, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (collectively, the “Isconova Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Third Party claims, suits, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation and costs for enforcing this indemnity) (collectively, the “Losses”) to the extent arising out of or resulting from (a) any material breach of any representation or warranty made by Genocea in this Agreement, or any material breach of any covenant or agreement of Genocea in or pursuant to this Agreement or (b) any claims of any nature relating to Development, Manufacturing, and Commercialization activities performed by, on behalf of or under the authority of Genocea, its Affiliates or Sublicensees under this Agreement with the exception of those activities performed by Isconova pursuant to the

terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Genocea shall have no obligation to indemnify the Isconova Indemnitees to the extent that the Losses arise out of or result from, directly or indirectly, any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by Isconova in this Agreement, or any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of Isconova in or pursuant to this Agreement, or the negligence or willful misconduct by or of any of the Isconova Indemnitees.

10.6.2. Indemnification by Isconova. Isconova shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Genocea, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (“Genocea Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses to the extent arising out of or resulting from (a) any material breach of any representation or warranty made by Isconova in this Agreement, or any material breach of any covenant or agreement of Isconova in or pursuant to this Agreement or (b) any claims of any nature relating to any activities performed by, on behalf of or under the authority of Isconova under this Agreement with the exception of those activities performed by Genocea pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Isconova shall have no obligation to indemnify the Genocea Indemnitees to the extent that the Losses arise out of or result from, directly or indirectly, any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by Genocea in this Agreement, or any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of Genocea in or pursuant to this Agreement, or the negligence or willful misconduct by or of any of the Genocea Indemnitees.

10.6.3. Indemnification Procedure. In the event of any such claim against any Genocea Indemnitee or Isconova Indemnitee (individually, an “Indemnitee”), the indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of the claim and the indemnifying Party shall manage and control, at its sole expense, the defense of the claim and its settlement. The Indemnitee shall cooperate with the indemnifying Party and may, at its option and expense, be represented in any such action or proceeding. The indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlements, litigation costs or expenses incurred by any Indemnitee without the indemnifying Party’s prior written authorization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the indemnifying Party believes that any of the exceptions to its obligation of indemnification of the Indemnitees set forth in Section 10.6.1 or 10.6.2 may apply, the indemnifying Party shall promptly notify the Indemnitees, which may be represented in any such action or proceeding by separate counsel at their expense; provided that the indemnifying Party shall be responsible for payment of such expenses if the Indemnitees are ultimately determined to be entitled to indemnification from the indemnifying Party. Any other provision of this ARTICLE 10 to the contrary, no Indemnitee under this Agreement shall be required to waive a conflict of interest under any applicable rules of professional ethics or responsibility if such waiver would be required for a single law firm to defend both the indemnifying Party and one or more Indemnitees. In such case, the indemnifying Party shall provide a defense of the affected Indemnitees through a separate law firm reasonably acceptable to the affected Indemnitees at the indemnifying Party’s expense.

10.6.4. Joint Defendants. If a product liability suit is brought against either Party relating in any way to a Licensed Product, and it is not clear from the allegations in the complaint or the known facts surrounding the allegations in the complaint as to whether a claim exists for which there is a right of indemnification pursuant to Section 10.6.1 or 10.6.2 above, then Genocea shall be responsible for controlling the defense of such suit in the first instance. During such period that Genocea is controlling such defense, with regard to the costs of such defense, including attorneys’ fees, Genocea and Isconova each shall be responsible for 50% of all such costs. No settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of any such suit may be entered into without the prior written consent of Isconova, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If, at any time in the course of such suit, it becomes apparent from discovery or otherwise that a claim exists for which indemnification may be obtained in accordance with Section 10.6.1 or 10.6.2 above, then the indemnification provisions of either Section 10.6.1 or above, whichever is applicable, and the indemnification procedures of Section 10.6.3 shall become applicable and govern further proceedings in the suit.

10.6.5. Insurance. As of the Effective Date and throughout the term of this Agreement, each Party shall procure and maintain, at its sole cost and expense, commercial general liability insurance to cover its indemnification obligation under Section 10.6.1 or 10.6.2 above, as applicable in amounts not less than US$ [* * *] per incident and US$ [* * *] annual aggregate. Such insurance shall be procured with carriers having an A.M. Best Rating of A-VII or better. The minimum amounts of insurance coverage required under this Section 10.6.5 shall not be construed to create a limit on Genocea’s and Isconova’s liability with respect to their respective indemnification obligations under Sections 10.6.1 and 10.6.2 above.

ARTICLE 11
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

11.1 Option to Acquire Isconova’s Human Business. Isconova grants to Genocea an exclusive option to negotiate during a period of nine (9) months from the Effective Date an agreement under which Genocea would acquire the entire rights and operations of Isconova’s business in the human field. Isconova’ business in the human field means the development, manufacture, marketing and sales, of Isconova adjuvant technology for the use in human vaccines and the research, development and commercialization of human vaccines using Isconova adjuvant technology. During this nine-month option period, the Parties undertake to negotiate, in good faith, such agreement. The parties shall aim to meet in person (or by telephone) within thirty (30) days from the date when Genocea has provided a proposal to Isconova. Both Parties agree to be well prepared for such negotiations with a view to discuss with an open mind the merging of Genocea with Isconova’s human business. To the extent practically possible, the Parties shall do their best to procure that majority shareholders participate in the negotiations. For the avoidance of doubt, the undertaking in this Section 11.1 does not constitute a binding commitment on the Parties to enter into an agreement regarding the transactions contemplated herein. There will be no agreement between the Parties with respect

to the transactions set forth in this Section 11.1 until the receipt of all necessary management approvals of Isconova and Genocea and execution of a mutually acceptable definitive agreement by the Parties.

11.2 Change of Control of Isconova. During the Agreement Term, Isconova shall, upon becoming aware of a process or negotiation that may lead to a Change of Control of Isconova, including but not limited to an unsolicited Third Party proposal regarding a potential Change of Control of Isconova or any decision by Isconova’s shareholders, Board of Directors and/or officers to commence a process or negotiation that may lead to a Change of Control of Isconova, immediately notify Genocea in writing of any such circumstance. Such written notice shall include, if available and applicable, the identity of the proposed Third Party who would take action to cause the Change of Control of Isconova and the terms of any offer(s). Isconova shall allow Genocea and/or its Affiliates to make a competing or initial offer to enter into a Change of Control transaction with Isconova and Isconova shall reasonably and in good faith evaluate such offer. In addition, if at any time during the Agreement Term, (i) Genocea and/or its Affiliates makes an unsolicited proposal to Isconova regarding a potential Change of Control of Isconova, and (ii) pays to Isconova an exclusive negotiation fee of U.S. Dollars [* * *], Isconova agrees that, during the 180-day period following such request (the “LockUp Period”), Isconova will exclusively negotiate with Genocea and/or its Affiliates in good faith the terms of a definitive agreement that would cause Genocea or its Affiliates to enter into a transaction with Isconova that would result in a Change of Control of Isconova; provided that only one such lock up period may occur during the Term of this Agreement and provided further, that any offer made by Genocea in response to Isconova’s notice delivered pursuant to the terms of this Section 11.1 shall not initiate a Lock-Up Period. Genocea acknowledges that any acceptance of an offer by Genocea and/or its Affiliates under this Section 11.1 shall be subject to Isconova’s receipt of necessary shareholder approval to such offer.

11.3 Dispute Resolution; Governing Law.

11.3.1. Disputes. Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, in the event of any dispute arising under this Agreement between the Parties, the Parties may refer such dispute to the respective Executive Officers, and such Executive Officers shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute. If the Parties are unable to resolve a given dispute pursuant to this Section 11.3.1 within sixty (60) days of referring such dispute to the Executive Officers, either Party shall be free to pursue any remedy that may be available to it at law or in equity.

11.3.2. Jurisdiction. All disputes arising out of or in connection with the present contract shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce by one (1) arbitrator appointed in accordance with the said Rules. The arbitrator may grant injunctive or other relief in such dispute or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties agree that, any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, they will not request and the arbitrator shall have no authority to award,

punitive or exemplary damages against either Party. The costs of the arbitration, including administrative and arbitrator’s fees, as well as the other Party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert witness fees shall be borne by the losing Party. Nothing in this Section 11.3.2 shall preclude either Party from seeking interim or provisional relief in the form of a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim relief concerning a dispute prior to or during an arbitration pursuant to this Section 11.3.2 necessary to protect the interests of such Party. If the arbitration is initiated by Isconova, the place of arbitration shall be Boston, MA, USA, and if the arbitration is initiated by Genocea, the place of the arbitration shall be Stockholm, Sweden. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English.

11.3.3. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and the respective rights of the Parties determined according to the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts notwithstanding the provisions governing conflict of laws under such Massachusetts law to the contrary.

11.4 Assignment. Except as provided in this Section 11.4, this Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred, nor may any right or obligation hereunder be assigned or transferred, by either Party without the consent of the other Party; provided, however, that without the other Party’s consent, (i) Genocea may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole or in part to an Affiliate or pursuant to a Change of Control of Genocea, (ii) Isconova may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole or in part to a wholly-owned Affiliate subsidiary of Isconova; provided that Isconova shall guarantee and remain responsible for the performance and all obligations of such Affiliate assignee under this Agreement, and that such Affiliate assignee shall in no event assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole or in part, including, without limitation to an Affiliate or pursuant to a Change of Control, without Genocea’s prior written consent which shall be conditioned in part on Genocea’s reasonable satisfaction that the assignee has sufficient reasonable resources to comply with all of Isconova’s obligations under this Agreement and (iii) Isconova may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole or in part pursuant to a Change of Control of Isconova; provided, however, that Genocea’s prior written consent must be obtained to Isconova’s assignment of this Agreement or any of Isconova’s rights and/or obligations hereunder to an entity or an affiliate of an entity who has announced the development and/or commercialization of, or Isconova is aware is developing and/or commercializing, a product for the treatment, prevention and/or modulation of a Disease Field. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that the condition in clause (ii) above which allows Genocea to withhold consent to an assignment if Genocea is not reasonably satisfied with the assignee’s capabilities to meet its obligations hereunder does not allow Genocea to unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to an assignment of this Agreement by an Affiliate assignee of Isconova in a bona-fide transaction, such as a restructuring and/or exit of Isconova’s human business (e.g. trough a major trade sale, initial public offering, venture capital investment). To the extent that the assigning Party survives as a legal entity, the assigning Party shall remain responsible for the performance by its assignee of this Agreement or any obligations hereunder so assigned to such assignee; provided, that any assigning Party hereunder shall not be

bound by this obligation in the event where an assignee has, to the non-assigning Party’s reasonable satisfaction, sufficient reasonable resources to comply with all of the assigning Party’s obligations under this Agreement. In addition, Isconova shall not assign any interest in the Licensed Technology to any Third Party or Affiliate, and Genocea shall not assign any interest in the Joint Technology to any Third Party or Affiliate, unless such assignee agrees in writing that such assignment is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the rights granted to Genocea and Isconova, respectively, hereunder.

By way of non-limiting example of the application of this Section 11.4, Isconova may wish to reorganize and divide its business into a human business and a veterinary business, and, for this purpose, Isconova may set up a wholly-owned subsidiary (“NewCo”). In that case, Isconova would be entitled to assign the Agreement and its rights and obligations thereunder in whole or in part to NewCo without needing Genocea’s prior consent. Following such assignment, Isconova would guarantee NewCo’s performance under the Agreement as if Isconova had remained a party to the Agreement. Isconova would be precluded from subsequently transferring a majority of the shares in NewCo to a Third Party without Genocea’s prior consent. Likewise, NewCo would be precluded from assigning the Agreement to Third Party without Genocea’s prior consent. Genocea would be precluded from unreasonably withholding or delaying its consent as described above if the transaction is a bona fide transaction. In this particular case, Isconova would remain bound by its guarantee on behalf of NewCo until NewCo or a purchaser and/or assignee of NewCo would have, to Genocea’s reasonable satisfaction, sufficient reasonable resources to comply with all of Isconova’s/NewCo’s obligations under the Agreement. Thus, Isconova would be released from this guarantee (i) upon Genocea’s consent to (a) an assignment by NewCo of the Agreement to a Third Party or (b) Change of Control of NewCo (e.g. a transfer of the majority of the shares of NewCo to a Third Party), or (ii) in the event that NewCo would receive, to Genocea’s reasonable satisfaction, sufficient reasonable resources to comply with all of Isconova’s/NewCo’s obligations under the Agreement (e.g. after a financing round).

11.5 Amendments. This Agreement and the Exhibits referred to in this Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous arrangements with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral. Any amendment or modification to this Agreement shall be made in writing signed by both Parties.

Any consent, notice or report required or permitted to be given or made under this Agreement by one of the Parties hereto to the other shall be in writing and (a) delivered by hand, (b) sent by nationally recognized overnight delivery service, (c) sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) sent by facsimile transmission confirmed by prepaid, registered or certified mail letter, and shall be deemed to have been properly served to the addressee upon receipt of such written communication, in any event to the following addresses:

11.7 Force Majeure. No failure or omission by either Party in the performance of any obligation of this Agreement shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement or create any liability if the same shall arise from any cause or causes beyond the reasonable control of such Party, including the following; acts of god; acts or omissions of any government; any rules, regulations or orders issued by any governmental authority or by any officer, department, agency or instrumentality thereof; fire; storm; flood; earthquake; accident; war; terrorist act; rebellion; insurrection; riot; and invasion; provided that such Party provides notice to the other Party of such an event, and the non-performing Party uses Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure such failure or omission resulting from one of the above causes as soon as is practicable; provided further that, in the event the suspension of performance continues for ninety (90) days, and such failure to perform would constitute a material breach of this Agreement in the absence of such force majeure event, the non-affected Party may terminate this Agreement for the nonperforming Party’s material breach.

11.8 Compliance with Applicable Laws. Neither Party shall export any technology licensed to it by the other Party under this Agreement except in compliance with United States export

laws and regulations. The Parties shall at all times comply with all material laws and regulations applicable to its activities under this Agreement.

11.9 Independent Contractors. It is understood and agreed that the relationship between the Parties is that of independent contractors and that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as authorization for either Genocea or Isconova to act as agent for the other. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to create an employment, agency, joint venture or partnership relationship between the Parties or any of their agents or employees for any purpose, including tax purposes, or to create any other legal arrangement that would impose liability upon one Party for the act or failure to act of the other Party. Neither Party shall have any express or implied power to enter into any contracts or commitments or to incur any liabilities in the name of, or on behalf of, the other Party, or to bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever.

No failure on the part of Genocea or Isconova to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement, or provided by statute or at law or in equity or otherwise, shall impair, prejudice or constitute a waiver of any such right, power, remedy or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any breach of this Agreement or as an acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, remedy or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.

11.14 Severability. If any provision hereof should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, the Parties hereto shall substitute, by mutual consent, valid provisions for such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions, which valid provisions in their economic effect are sufficiently similar to the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions that it can be reasonably assumed that the Parties would have entered into this Agreement with such valid provisions. In case such valid provisions cannot be agreed upon, the invalid, illegal or unenforceable of one or several provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of this Agreement as a whole, unless the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions are of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement without the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

11.15 No Third Party Beneficiaries. No person or entity other than Genocea, Isconova and their respective Affiliates and permitted assignees hereunder shall be deemed an intended beneficiary hereunder or have any right to enforce any obligation of this Agreement.

Supplier shall scale up its Manufacturing processes as such processes relate to the Licensed Adjuvant in accordance with the Development and Scale-Up Plan (as defined in the LCA). Isconova undertakes to work diligently and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform activities under the Development and Scale-Up Plan in accordance with the timeline set forth in the Development and Scale-Up Plan. In the event that Supplier fails, for any reason not directly attributable to Purchaser, to perform such actions in accordance with such timetable, Purchaser shall be entitled to require Supplier to take the actions described in Section 6.3(c) in order to enable Purchaser to obtain Licensed Adjuvants from an alternate supplier. Isconova will at all times during the Research Term maintain the necessary financial and human resources to complete the activities of Isconova set forth in the Development and Scale-Up Plan.

2.3 Forecasts. Beginning at least eighteen (18) months prior to the anticipated date of First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product (the “Launch”), Purchaser shall submit to Supplier a forecast of Licensed Adjuvants that Purchaser anticipates ordering from Supplier during the eighteen (18) month period following the date of submission (broken down by Licensed Product and by 3-month periods, i.e. quarters), and Purchaser shall thereafter update such forecast on a rolling eighteen (18) months basis every third (3rd) month thereafter (each, a “Rolling Forecast”). Purchaser shall place purchase orders for at least the quantity of Licensed Adjuvants specified in the first three (3) months of each such Rolling Forecast, (such specified amount the “Binding Forecast”), subject, however to Section 2.4, and the remaining fifteen (15) months shall be a good faith estimate. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser shall not be required to order any fixed minimum quantity of Licensed Adjuvants or any quantity of Licensed Adjuvants for which it does not actually have a need, notwithstanding any forecast or prior course of dealing.

2.4 Ramp-Up. Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that Supplier has a lead-time to ramp-up its manufacturing process of [* * *], and that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for quarters following the first four (4) consecutive quarters in

which Purchaser has place Firm Orders, Supplier shall not be obliged to supply Purchaser under this Agreement with quantities of Licensed Adjuvants exceeding (i) [* * *] of the average amount of Licensed Adjuvants specified in the Binding Forecasts for the preceding [* * *] in which Purchaser placed Firm Orders (as defined in Section 2.5 (a) and (ii) [* * *] of the average amount of Licensed Adjuvants specified in the Binding Forecasts for the preceding [* * *] in which Purchaser placed Firm Orders.

2.5 Orders and Delivery.

(a) Orders. Purchaser shall place its orders for Licensed Adjuvants with Supplier by submitting a purchase order which sets forth (i) the quantity of Licensed Adjuvants ordered for delivery; and (ii) the delivery date for that order which shall be at least forty-five (45) days from the date such order (an “Order”). Unless Supplier notifies Purchaser in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of an Order that it is unable to deliver Licensed Adjuvants in accordance with such Order (such notice, a “Capacity Constraint Notice”), Supplier shall be deemed to have accepted such Order as a binding order (a “Firm Order”). If Supplier delivers a Capacity Constraint Notice to Purchaser, such notice shall indicate the portion of such Order Supplier cannot supply by the requested delivery date and propose alternate delivery dates. Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts during the fifteen (15) Business Day period following delivery of the Capacity Constraint Notice to mutually agree upon a date(s) of delivery; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have no obligation to accept any alternate delivery dates. If, after the 15 Business Day period referenced in the preceding sentence, the Parties do not reach agreement on a delivery date, Purchaser shall have the right to exercise its rights pursuant to Section 2.7 below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.51.1(a). if (i) such Order subject to a Capacity Constraint Notice is an Excess Order (as described in Section 2.5(d) below) and (ii) the portion of such Order that Supplier cannot supply by the requested delivery date is no more than the number of Licensed Adjuvants requested by Purchaser which exceed the amount set forth in the Binding Forecast, then, with respect to the portion of the Order that exceeds the Binding Forecast only, Section 2.5(d) below, and not Section 2.7, shall apply in the event of any inability of Supplier to supply Licensed Adjuvants by Purchaser’s requested delivery date.

(b) Cancellation of Orders. Purchaser may cancel any Firm Order (in whole or in part) at any time prior to the delivery for any quantity of Licensed Adjuvant that Supplier has not completed Manufacturing pursuant to such Firm Order at the time that notice of cancellation is received by Supplier; provided that if Supplier has commenced but not completed the Manufacture of Licensed Adjuvants pursuant to such Firm Order, Purchaser shall reimburse Supplier for Material and labor costs in respect of any works-in-progress pursuant to such cancelled Firm Order (or part thereof) at the time notice of cancellation is received by Supplier.

(c) Delivery Terms. All Licensed Adjuvants shall be delivered [* * *] (the “Facility”). Time is of the essence for all deliveries of Licensed Adjuvants. Packaging requirements will be mutually agreed upon between the Parties.

(d) Excess Orders. In the event that the actual amount of Licensed Adjuvants ordered by Purchaser in any Order exceed those set forth in the Binding Forecast (an “Excess Order”), Supplier shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to accept and supply such excess amount, Supplier shall notify Purchaser in writing within twelve (12) Business Days of receipt of an Excess Order as to whether it is able to deliver all of the Excess Order. If Supplier cannot deliver the entire quantify ordered in the Excess Order, such notice shall indicate the portion of the Excess Order that Supplier cannot supply by the requested delivery date and shall specify alternate delivery dates for such portion.

(e) Late Delivery. If Supplier fails to deliver any Licensed Adjuvants within [* * *] days after the delivery date set forth on a Firm Order (the “Firm Delivery Date”), in addition to any remedies Purchaser may have under this Agreement, Supplier shall give Purchaser a credit to be applied to the purchase price owed for such Licensed Adjuvants (a “Late Delivery Credit”). The amount of the Late Delivery Credit will vary based on the number of days a delivery follows the Firm Delivery Date, and will equal the following percentage of the purchase price for the Licensed Adjuvants that are delivered late:

Number of Days Late		Late Delivery Credit
[* * *]		[* * *]% of the purchase price for late Licensed Adjuvants
[* * *]		[* * *]% of the purchase price for late Licensed Adjuvants

Purchaser may apply the Late Delivery Credit to reduce (a) the amount due to Supplier under the invoice for late-delivered Licensed Adjuvants or (b) future payments due by Purchaser to Supplier under this Agreement, if any.

2.6 Shortage of Supply. If, at any time during the Term of this Agreement, Supplier (i) supplies Licensed Adjuvants to one or more Third Parties (as defined in the LCA) in addition to Purchaser and (ii) Supplier does not have the capacity to supply all purchasers of Licensed Adjuvants with the quantity of Licensed Adjuvants ordered by each such purchaser, Supplier shall deliver to Purchaser a percentage of all Licensed Adjuvants in Supplier’s supply equal to [* * *] divided by [* * *]; provided, however that during the first two (2) years after the first Firm Order placed by Purchaser under this Agreement, Supplier shall always fulfill Purchaser’s Firm Order for Licensed Adjuvants in full (or to the maximum extent possible) prior to fulfilling the orders of any other purchaser. Supplier shall, at all times during the Term of this Agreement, possess a supply of Licensed Adjuvants in an amount more than or equal to the quantity of Licensed Adjuvants set forth in the preceding Binding Forecast.

2.7 Alternative Supply. Subject to Section 2.4, Purchaser shall be relieved of its obligation to order its purchase requirements of Licensed Adjuvants from Supplier if Supplier, for any

reason not directly attributable to Purchaser, is unable, becomes aware that it will be unable or is unwilling to supply Licensed Adjuvants meeting Purchaser’s Binding Forecast for any period of time and does not cure such failure within forty-five (45) days following Purchaser’s written notice to Supplier or Supplier’s written notice to Purchaser. In any such event, after the 45-day cure period, Purchaser shall have the right to request a Technology Transfer under the terms of Section 6.3(c) regardless of whether Purchaser has elected to terminate this Agreement. Once Purchaser has requested that Supplier conduct a Technology Transfer, Purchaser shall have no obligation to place any further Orders for Licensed Adjuvants from Supplier and may receive its supply of Licensed Adjuvants from a party or parties designated under Section 6.3(c).

2.8 Cooperation of the Parties. Supplier shall inform Purchaser promptly of any problems that could reasonably be expected to prevent Supplier from supplying the Licensed Adjuvants in accordance with the Rolling Forecast and/or a Firm Order.

2.9 Records and Samples. Supplier shall maintain all records relating to its obligations hereunder as required by current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMPs”) and current Good Laboratory Practices (“cGLPs”), as applicable, and Applicable Law for such time periods referenced thereby. Supplier shall make such records available to Purchaser for Purchaser’s inspection and copying promptly following a written request by Purchaser. In addition, Supplier shall retain a file sample properly stored from each lot or batch of Licensed Adjuvants supplied to Purchaser hereunder in accordance with cGMPs.

Supplier’s review. For sixty (60) days after any rejection by the Purchaser, the Parties shall enter into good faith negotiations and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to address Purchaser’s reasons for rejecting the Discretionary Change. If no resolution has been reached by the end of this sixty-day period, the proposal shall be deemed rejected. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.11(c), the Purchaser can reject any Discretionary Change that would require any additional Regulatory Approvals, action by any Regulatory Authority or change to the Adjuvant Specifications. If Purchaser accepts such Discretionary Change, Supplier shall be entitled to make such Discretionary Change and shall, unless agreed otherwise by the Parties, bear all the costs of its implementation.

(d) If Purchaser wishes to make a Discretionary Change, the Parties shall discuss such Discretionary Change and, unless Supplier has a reasonable objection, subject to the Parties agreeing upon reasonable timelines and procedures for implementing such Discretionary Change, Supplier shall implement such Discretionary Change. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Purchaser shall bear all reasonable costs incurred by Supplier in connection with the implementation of a Discretionary Change requested by Purchaser. Payment for such costs shall be made by Purchaser within forty-five (45) days of receipt of an invoice therefore, together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation of such costs.

ARTICLE 4
PRICE AND PAYMENT

4.1 Price. During the first Contract Year and, unless adjusted pursuant to Section 4.3. for the Term of the Agreement, the price payable by the Purchaser to Supplier for the Manufacture and supply of the Licensed Adjuvants required for one (1) dose of the relevant Licensed Product shall be US $[* * *] (as adjusted from time to time, the “Dose Price”). The Dose Price is equal to [* * *]. The Initial Dose Price may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 4.3. In the event a vaccine included in the Commodity Vaccine Basket is no longer included on the CDC’s dose price list or for any other reason is mutually agreed by the Parties to no longer be applicable to the Dose Price, the Parties shall in good faith mutually agree either on the replacement of such vaccine with another vaccine with similar characteristics or to lower the number of vaccines which comprise the Commodity Vaccine Basket.

4.2 Most Favored Nations Price Adjustment. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if at any time Supplier makes sales of any product substantially similar to the Licensed Adjuvant (including but not limited to, a ISCOM technology-based Matrix-M adjuvant) to any Third Party for use in a commercially sold vaccine product within the Field at a price per milligram of active substance lower than the price per milligram of active substance then in effect hereunder for the Licensed Adjuvant, or on payment and delivery terms more favorable than those in effect hereunder, such lower price and/or more favorable terms shall be made available to Purchaser hereunder, with respect to Purchaser’s inventory of Licensed Adjuvants as well as future purchases of Licensed Adjuvants, for so long as Supplier continues to make sales to such Third Party at such lower price and/or on such more favorable terms.

4.3 Adjustment to Prices.

(a) In the event that [* * *] of the Commodity Vaccine Basket should deviate by [* * *] or more from the Dose Price at any given time during the Term of this Agreement (such event, a “Price Deviation”), either Party may request a price adjustment as set forth in Section 4.3(b) (a “Price Adjustment”).

(b) Price Adjustment Calculation. If, in accordance with Section 4.3, a Party (“Requesting Party”) believes that the Dose Price should be adjusted as a result of a Price Deviation, before or on September 1 of each Contract Year, Requesting Party shall provide for the other Party’s review and approval the computation of any Price Adjustment (as determined in accordance with Section 4.1). Requesting Party shall also provide to the other Party the methodology Requesting Party used in making such computation together with documentary evidence supporting the Price Adjustment. Upon the other Party’s approval of such Price Adjustment, the new prices will be effective as of January 1 of the following Contract Year and the Parties will attach a new Exhibit F hereto reflecting such new prices. If the other Party has rejected any Price Adjustment by Requesting Party, Requesting Party may exercise its rights under the dispute resolution mechanism in Section 11.1 below.

4.4 Payments: Delay in Payment. Supplier shall deliver to Purchaser at the address set forth in Section 11.5 an invoice for shipments of Licensed Adjuvants to Purchaser as the same is shipped. Each invoice shall reflect the actual quantity of the Licensed Adjuvants shipped and the price thereof as computed in accordance with this ARTICLE 4. Within forty-five (45) days following receipt of each invoice, Purchaser shall pay to Supplier the amount specified in such invoice. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. Dollars and by electronic transfer to an account specified by Supplier. Any amounts not paid when due shall be deemed delinquent and will accrue interest from the due date to the actual date of payment at the lesser of (i) two (2) percent per month and (ii) the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law. Upon the delay of any payment(s) that are not being contested in good faith by Purchaser for a longer period of time than the cure period set forth in Section 6.2(a), Supplier may withhold further deliveries of Licensed Adjuvants until Purchaser has remedied its default in full.

4.5 Payment Disputes. All billing and payment disputes between the Parties, including a dispute regarding the calculation of any Price Adjustment, shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures in Section 11.1 below.

ARTICLE 5
ACCEPTANCE AND REJECTION; INFRINGEMENT

5.1 Acceptance and Rejection. Within thirty (30) Business Days following its receipt of a shipment of Licensed Adjuvants pursuant to a Firm Order, Purchaser must notify Supplier in writing if Purchaser rejects the Licensed Adjuvants because it believes that the Licensed Adjuvants does not comply with the Adjuvant Specifications, cGMP or a requirement under the Quality Agreement. Subject to Section 5.2 below, if Purchaser does not so notify Supplier within such period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the Licensed Adjuvants as meeting Adjuvant Specifications and the applicable requirements hereunder.

5.2 Latent Defects. If any Licensed Adjuvant delivered by Supplier to Purchaser contains a Latent Defect (as defined below), then Purchaser will notify Supplier in writing within five (5) Business Days after the date on which such Latent Defect is first detected by Purchaser. “Latent Defect” means any defect that (a) causes any Licensed Adjuvant supplied by Supplier to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement to fail to conform with the Adjuvant Specifications, cGMP or a requirement under the Quality Agreement and (b) cannot be ascertained by the exercise of reasonable diligence by Purchaser upon receipt of such Licensed Adjuvant; provided, however, that if Purchaser does not notify Supplier of a Latent Defect in a Licensed Adjuvant within the Licensed Adjuvant’s shelf life (which shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties), Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the Licensed Adjuvants as meeting Adjuvant Specifications and the applicable requirements hereunder, and Purchaser abstains from any right to claim liability against Supplier pursuant to Section 5.1 above or this Section 5.2.

5.3 Rejection Procedure. If Purchaser rejects all or part of any shipment of Licensed Adjuvants pursuant to Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 above, then, unless Supplier informs Purchaser to the contrary within twelve (12) Business Days after receipt of Purchaser’s written rejection notice, Supplier will be deemed to have accepted the above-mentioned rejection.

(a) If Supplier accepts Purchaser’s rejection, Supplier shall, at Purchaser’s option, either (i) utilize Commercially Reasonable Efforts to supply replacement Licensed Adjuvants at no additional charge within one (1) month after receipt of Purchaser’s rejection notice or (ii) credit or refund to Purchaser the cost paid to Supplier by Purchaser for such non-conforming Licensed Adjuvants, or, if the invoice has not been paid, cancel the invoice. In either case, such non-conforming Licensed Adjuvants shall be disposed of at Supplier’s cost.

(b) If Supplier does not accept Purchaser’s rejection, and there is a dispute as to whether all, or a portion, of any shipment of Licensed Adjuvants is non-compliant, such dispute shall be resolved by having an independent, mutually acceptable, qualified Third Party (the “Independent Expert”) examine the respective Licensed Adjuvants. At Supplier’s cost, Supplier will provide a representative final Licensed Adjuvant sample and master reference standard for such Licensed Adjuvant to the Independent Expert. If the Independent Expert determines that the Licensed Adjuvant is non-compliant, then Section 5.3(a) shall apply. The Party against whose position the Independent Expert rules shall bear any out-of-pocket costs relating to the Independent Expert incurred by the other Party. In the event that the Independent Expert rules against Purchaser, Purchaser shall remit payment for the respective Licensed Adjuvants to Supplier within thirty (30) days of such ruling. During the time any dispute under this Section 5.3(b) is pending resolution, Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay any invoice for the Licensed Adjuvants that is the subject of the dispute and no interest on such payment will accrue under Section 4.4.

5.4 Shortfall. If Supplier’s delivery fails to deliver to Purchaser the full amount of Licensed Adjuvants specified in an accepted Firm Order, Supplier shall, at Purchaser’s option without any undue delay either (a) deliver to Purchaser the quantity of shorted Licensed Adjuvants at Supplier’s expense or (b) credit or refund Purchaser for the full price of the amount of shortfall.

5.5 Infringement. In the event that it is reasonably likely that a claim will be successfully brought by a Third Party to a court or other governmental agency of competent jurisdiction that the Manufacture, storage, importation, sale, offer for sale or use of the Licensed Adjuvant infringes any patent or other proprietary right of any Third Party, Supplier shall promptly, at its own expense and option, either: a) procure for Purchaser the right to continue the storage, importation, sale, offer for sale or use of such Licensed Adjuvant; b) replace the relevant Licensed Adjuvant with non-infringing Licensed Adjuvants of equivalent function and performance; or c) modify such Licensed Adjuvants so that they become non-infringing without detracting from function or performance. If the Parties disagree on whether the occurrence and/or success of a claim described in the preceding sentence is reasonably likely, the Parties will engage mutually agreeable patent counsel to deliver a final determination as to the reasonable likelihood of such a successful claim, and the Parties will split the costs related to such counsel equally. Any action taken by Supplier under clause (a), (b) or (c) of the first sentence of this Section 5.5 must not result in any change to the Adjuvant Specifications and if Supplier cannot take necessary action under such clauses within ninety (90) days of the date of the infringement claim, Purchaser shall be relieved of its obligation to order its purchase requirements of Licensed Adjuvants from Supplier as set forth in Section 2.7 and Purchaser may request (and upon such request, Supplier will grant) a Technology Transfer pursuant to Section 6.3(c). Supplier’s obligations hereunder shall not apply to any infringement claim arising directly and principally attributable from activities conducted by Purchaser in a manner inconsistent with Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement and/or the LCA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or Section 5.4, in the event that Section 6.11 of the LCA (including without limitation Section 6.11.1) is applicable to an infringement claim hereunder, the terms of such Section 6.11 shall apply, as applicable, to such claim; provided, however that, in addition to all rights of Purchaser under Section 6.11 of the LCA, in the event that any Third Party commences any proceeding against Purchaser, Supplier and/or any Sublicensee related to the Isconova Technology which results in the enjoinment of the research, development, commercialization and/or sale of a Licensed Product and (ii) the underlying claim of such proceeding in clause (i) is not directly and principally attributable to activities conducted by Purchaser outside the scope of the rights granted to Purchaser in Section 3.1 of the LCA, Purchaser shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2(a) and, to the extent not already performed, Supplier shall perform a Technology Transfer as set forth in Section 6.3(c) upon Genocea’s request,

5.6 Rights Intact. Notwithstanding anything in this ARTICLE 5, nothing in this ARTICLE 5 shall be deemed a sole remedy of Purchaser under this Agreement or usurp or affect, in any way, Purchaser’s ability to exercise its rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to Purchaser’s rights set forth in ARTICLE 6 to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms therein.

ARTICLE 6

6.2 Termination.

(a) Default. If either Party commits a material breach of the Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will include any material breach by Supplier of the Quality Agreement), the other Party may, without prejudice to any other right or remedy, and after giving the breaching Party [* * *] (45) days’ written notice of the breach, terminate the Agreement. This Agreement shall not be so terminated if the breaching Party has cured the breach within such 45-day period.

Such termination shall not give rise to the payment of any penalty, damages or indemnity by Purchaser.

(d) Termination for Bankruptcy. If either Party (the “Insolvent Party”), by voluntary or involuntary action goes into liquidation, dissolves or files a petition for bankruptcy or suspension of payments, is adjudicated bankrupt, has a receiver or trustee appointed for its property or estate, becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, the other Party shall be entitled by notice in writing to the Insolvent Party to terminate this Agreement forthwith. Such termination shall not give rise to the payment of any penalty, damages or indemnity by the terminating Party.

Effective as of […] by and between;

Isconova AB, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Sweden and having a principal place of business at Uppsala Science Park, SE-751 83 Uppsala, Sweden (“Isconova”), and

[...] (the “Commercial Partner”).

1. Commercial Partner hereby acknowledges that Isconova has licensed certain Licensed Technology, to Genocea Biosciences, Inc. within the Field (“Genocea”) relating to Licensed Adjuvants under a License Agreement effective as of [...], a copy of which is attached hereto (the ‘‘License”).

2. The Parties hereby acknowledge that all terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the hereto-attached version of the License.

3. Isconova agrees that, in the event that Genocea shall be found in material breach of its obligations to Isconova under the License and as a result of such material breach, the License is terminated by Isconova in accordance with its terms, Commercial Partner shall be allowed to continue to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize as allowed hereunder and in the License, as long as Commercial Partner agrees to pay, directly to Isconova, all amounts (including royalties and milestone payments) to which Isconova would have been entitled to receive under the License as a result of Commercial Partner’s activities in association with the Licensed Products.

4. If Commercial Partner is notified, by Isconova or Genocea or otherwise, that the License has been terminated, such termination shall not affect the rights of the Commercial Partner to Develop, Manufacture, and Commercialize Licensed Products in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Further, from the effective date of such termination, Commercial Partner shall, if so requested by Commercial Partner in writing, automatically become a direct licensee of Isconova in relation to the Licensed Technology with respect to and on the same terms as the rights originally sublicensed to Commercial Partner by Genocea. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall Isconova have obligations to Commercial Partner that are greater than those owed by Isconova to Genocea under the License as a result of the preceding sentence. To the extent that the foregoing constitutes a grant of rights under the Licensed Technology, such rights shall be contingent and, in the event of a failure to make any such payments or any other material breach by the Commercial Partner, terminate upon thirty (30) days after Commercial Partner’s receipt of prior written notification describing the nature of Commercial Partner’s breach if such breach is not cured during such 30-day period.

5. No more than once every year, in order to monitor the Commercial Partner’s royalty payments pursuant to Section 3 above, the Licensor may cause, at its own cost and expense, an independent certified public accountant to inspect during normal business hours the Commercial Partner’s records of sales of Licensed Products for the past three (3) years and any amounts paid or payable to Isconova in relation to such Licensed Products. The parties shall reconcile any underpayment or overpayment within thirty (30) days after the accountant delivers the results of the audit. In the event that any such audit performed reveals any underpayment in excess of five percent (5%) during any royalty period being subject to audit, then the Commercial Partner shall bear the full cost of any such audit.

6. Except as required by law, no Party shall originate any publication, news release or other public announcement, written or oral, whether in the public press, or stockholders’ reports, or otherwise relating to the contents of this Commercial Partner Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

7. This Commercial Partner Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without reference to conflict of laws principles. All disputes arising out of or in connection with the present contract shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce by one (1) arbitrator appointed in accordance with the said Rules. The costs of the arbitration, including administrative and arbitrator’s fees, as well as the other party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert witness fees shall be borne by the losing party. The place of arbitration shall be Stockholm, Sweden. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English.

In witness whereof, the undersigned parties have duly executed this Commercial Partner Agreement, effective as of the date first above written.

Attn: Lena Söderström CEO

Re: License and Collaboration Agreement by and between Genocea Biosciences, Inc. and Isconova AB

Dear Lena:

I am writing to memorialize our conversation and agreement regarding certain provisions of the License and Collaboration Agreement referred to above (the “Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined below, capitalized terms used in this letter will have the meaning given to them in the Agreement. As we discussed, the terms described in this letter will govern the price to be paid by Genocea for Clinical Supplies for the Phase I clinical trial for Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (the “Phase I Supplies”) notwithstanding our differing interpretations of the language in Exhibit C-2 of the Agreement. Specifically, we agree that Genocea will pay to Isconova [* * *]% of the total production cost for Phase I Supplies, excl. VAT, so that Genocea’s share of such total production costs are equal to approximately SEK[* * *] (Genocea’s share of such total production costs, the “Supply Payment”) as Genocea’s full payment obligation for the Phase I Supplies. The basis for this amount is set forth in the schedules attached to this letter, and Genocea’s [* * *]% contribution will be paid as set forth in the following paragraph.

Genocea will make a payment on account representing 1/3 of the Supply Payment (approximately $[* * *] USD) within ten days from the date of this letter and receipt of invoice thereof from Isconova. Isconova will apply such payment against payments made by Isconova to third parties for the production of Phase I Supplies (it being understood that Isconova will pay its invoices in SEK, and that the corresponding sums paid in USD may differ slightly due to the applicable exchange rate) until such payments to third parties equal twice the amount of the initial made by Genocea. After Isconova has made payments to third parties for Phase I Supplies

equal to twice the initial payment made by Genocea, Isconova will invoice Genocea each month (payment terms: 10 days net) for the costs representing [* * *]% of the amounts incurred by Isconova to third parties during the prior month for production of Phase 1 Supplies.

For clarity, it is agreed that the payment of the Supply Payment will not affect Genocea’s obligations to pay the amounts otherwise owed by Genocea to Isconova pursuant to Section 6.8 of the Agreement

In addition, in order to avoid future misunderstanding regarding the cost of clinical supplies, we agree to promptly commence good faith negotiations of an amendment to Exhibit C-2 to clarify the language of Exhibit C-2 regarding die price to be paid for Preclinical and Clinical Supplies to be supplied by Isconova to Genocea other than the Phase I Supplies.

Except as modified by this letter, we agree that the provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. We appreciate the strong relationship that our two companies have formed, and we look forward to continuing to work with Isconova.

If you are in agreement with the provisions set forth in this letter, please countersign this letter where indicated below and return it to my attention at your earliest convenience.

		Very truly yours,

		GENOCEA BIOSCIENCES, INC.

The revised total final costs are now projected to be [* * *] SEK per attachment A, which Genocea has agreed to be responsible for [* * *]% or [* * *] SEK.

Except as modified by this letter, all other provisions in the Agreement remain unchanged. If you are in agreement of the provisions set forth in this letter, please sign this letter and return it to my attention.
