2.3.4 Breach by Sublicensee. During the term of this Agreement, Licensee shall be responsible for any breach of a Sublicense agreement by a Sublicensee (or further Sublicense agreement under Section 2.3.2.4) that results in a material breach of this Agreement. Licensee may elect (a) to cure such breach in accordance with Section 10.2.3.1 of this Agreement or (b) to enforce its rights by terminating such Sublicense agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. Licensee shall indemnify Harvard for, and hold it harmless from, any and all damages or losses caused to Harvard as a result of any such breach by a Sublicensee or further Sublicensee.

In the future event that Harvard owns and controls patents and/or patent applications (a) for which one of the inventors is Dr. Darren Higgins or Dr. Michael Starnbach, (b) that are not Patent Rights and (c) that include claims that are dominated by any Valid Claims, Licensee may notify Harvard in writing that it wishes to obtain a license under such patents and/or patent applications solely with respect to those claims that are dominated by such Valid Claims. Harvard will grant Licensee a license under such claims by amending this Agreement to include such claims in the definition of Patent Rights if (i) Harvard is not, at the time of its receipt of Licensee’s notice, subject to any legal or pre-existing contractual obligations or restraints that would prevent it from granting the requested license and (ii) the inventor(s) do(es) not reasonably object to the grant of the requested license. Licensee shall not be required to pay any additional upfront consideration for such license, except for a license issuance fee to be agreed upon by the parties. The other financial terms of this Agreement (e.g., maintenance fees, milestone payments, royalty payments and payments on account of Non-Royalty Sublicense Income) will apply to the requested license.

2.5 [†].

2.6 No Other Grant of Rights. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to confer any ownership interest, license or other rights upon Licensee by implication, estoppel or otherwise as to any technology, intellectual property rights, products or biological materials of Harvard or any other entity, regardless of whether such technology, intellectual property rights, products or biological materials are dominant, subordinate or otherwise related to any Patent Rights.

3. Development and Commercialization.

3.1 Diligence. Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts and shall cause its Sublicensees to use commercially reasonable efforts: (a) to develop Licensed Products in accordance with the Development Plan; (b) to introduce Licensed Products into the commercial market; and (c) to market Licensed Products following such introduction into the market. In addition, Licensee, by itself or through its Affiliates or Sublicensees, also shall achieve each of the Development Milestones referenced in the then-current version of Exhibit 1.3 within the time periods specified therein. Harvard’s right to take any action against Licensee in connection

with a failure to achieve any such Development Milestones shall be limited to those rights set forth in Section 3.4 or, if and to the extent applicable, Section 10.2.3. The parties acknowledge and agree that if Licensee, by itself or through its Affiliates or Sublicensees, meets its obligations in the preceding sentence then Licensee will be deemed to have also met its development obligations under (a) above.

3.2 Modification of Development Plan. Licensee may modify the then applicable Development Plan from time to time to improve Licensee’s ability to meet the Development Milestones.

3.3 Reporting. Within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year. Licensee shall furnish Harvard with a written report summarizing its, its Affiliates’ and its Sublicensees’ efforts during the prior year to develop and commercialize Licensed Products, including without limitation: (a) research and development activities; (b) commercialization efforts; and (c) marketing efforts. Each report shall contain a description of Licensee’s efforts in compliance with its obligations under Section 3.1, and a discussion of intended efforts for the then current year. Together with each report. Licensee shall provide Harvard with a copy of the then current Development Plan.

3.4 Failure. If Licensee believes that it will not achieve one or more Development Milestones with respect to Licensed Products, it may notify Harvard in writing in advance of the relevant deadline. Licensee shall include with such notice an explanation of the reasons for such failure, a proposal for extending and/or amending the relevant milestone(s), and a detailed written plan for promptly achieving such extended and/or amended milestone(s). If Licensee does not provide Harvard with a reasonable explanation of its failure to meet the relevant Development Milestone(s) (and lack of finances shall not constitute reasonable basis for such failure) or does not provide Harvard with a reasonable proposed extension and/or amendment, Harvard may notify Licensee in writing of Licensee’s failure to meet the relevant Development Milestone(s) and, in such event, shall allow Licensee ninety (90) days to cure such failure. Subject to the last sentence of this section, Licensee’s failure to cure within such ninety (90) day period shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement (a ‘‘Development Breach”) entitling Harvard to proceed solely under this Section 3.4. In the event of a Development Breach where the relevant Development Milestone pertains to a Type I Licensed Product, Harvard shall have the right, in lieu of its rights under Section 10.2.3, to terminate the licenses granted in this Agreement only as they apply to Type I Licensed Products. In the event Licensee (a) commits a Development Breach with respect to two Type II Licensed Products or (b) commits a Development Breach with respect to one Type II Licensed Product after already having committed a Development Breach with respect to a Type I Licensed Product, Harvard shall have the right, in lieu of its rights under Section 10.2.3, only to convert the license granted in Section 2.1.1 as it applies to Type II Licensed Products and Licensed Services into a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license (without the right to sublicense). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Licensee does provide Harvard with an explanation of its failure to meet the relevant Development Milestone(s) and a proposed extension and/or amendment that is reasonably

acceptable to Harvard, Exhibit 1.3 shall be amended automatically to incorporate such extension and/or amendment, as applicable. For clarity, if and only if Licensee fails to achieve a Development Milestone and does not avail itself of any aspect of the procedure set forth in this Section 3.4 (e.g., by failing to notify Harvard in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 3.4), such failure to achieve the Development Milestone shall be a material breach that entitles Harvard to proceed under Section 10.2.3.

4. Consideration for Grant of License

4.1 Equity.

4.1.1 Grant. As partial consideration for the licenses granted hereunder, within thirty (30) days after the Original Effective Date, Licensee shall issue to Harvard such amount of common stock of Licensee that constitutes [* * *] of the outstanding common stock of Licensee, on a Fully Diluted Basis, after giving effect to such issuance (the “Shares”). “Fully Diluted Basis” shall mean, as of the Original Effective Date, the number of shares of common stock of Licensee then outstanding (assuming conversion of all outstanding stock other than common stock into common stock) plus the number of shares of common stock of Licensee issuable upon exercise or conversion of then outstanding convertible securities, options, rights or warrants of Licensee (which shall be determined without regard to whether such securities arc then vested, exercisable or convertible). Harvard acknowledges that all certificates representing the shares described in this Section may bear customary securities legends requiring compliance with the Securities Act of 1933 and related slate securities laws upon any transfer of such shares.

4.1.2 Representations and Warranties. Licensee hereby represents and warrants to Harvard that:

4.1.2.1 the capitalization table attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1.2.1 (the “Cap Table”) sets forth all of the outstanding capital stock of Licensee on a Fully-Diluted Basis as of the Original Effective Date;

4.1.2.2 other than as set forth in the Cap Table, as of the Original Effective Date, there were no outstanding shares of capital stock, convertible securities, outstanding warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for, purchase or acquire from Licensee any capital stock of Licensee and there were no contracts or binding commitments providing for the issuance of, or the granting of rights to acquire, any capital stock of Licensee or under which Licensee was obligated to issue any of its securities; and

4.1.2.3 the Shares, when issued pursuant to the terms of the Original Agreement, became, upon such issuance, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

9.1.2 Licensee shall, at its own expense, provide attorneys reasonably acceptable to Harvard to defend against any actions brought or filed against any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to the subject of indemnity contained herein, whether or not such actions are rightfully brought. Any Indemnitee seeking indemnification hereunder shall promptly notify Licensee of such Claim; provided, however, that failure to so notify Licensee will relieve Licensee from liability for indemnification only if and to the extent Licensee did not otherwise promptly learn of such Claim and such failure results in additional costs, expenses or liability of Licensee or the inability to defend any such Claim under Section 9.1.

Licensee agrees to keep Harvard informed of the progress in the defense and disposition of such claim, suit or action and to consult with Harvard with regard to any proposed settlement.

After the date of termination or expiration (except in the case of termination by Harvard pursuant to Section 10.2.2, 10.2.3 or 10.2.4), Licensee, its Affiliates and Sublicensees (a) may sell Licensed Products then in stock and (b) may complete the production of Licensed Products then in the process of production and sell the same; provided that, in the case of both (a) and (b), Licensee shall pay the applicable royalties and payments to Harvard in accordance with Article 4, provide reports and audit rights to Harvard pursuant to Article 5 and maintain insurance in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.2.

10.4 Survival.

For the avoidance of doubt, all references above and elsewhere in the Agreement to the “first’’ Type II Licensed Product are meant to refer to any Type II Licensed Product that reaches the applicable Development Milestone first (including any extensions or adjustments to such Development Milestone agreed to by the parties in accordance with Section 3.4 of the Agreement), and not just to the first in the series of Licensed Products that Genocea seeks to develop towards such Development Milestone. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Licensed Product that ultimately achieves a particular Development Milestone may be different (e.g., different antigens, different indication) from the Licensed Product that Genocea initially sought or intended to develop towards that same Development Milestone. The same concepts apply with equal force to all references in the Agreement to the “second” Type II Licensed Product.
