NOVATED AND RESTATED
TECHNOLOGY LICENSE AGREEMENT
          This NOVATED AND RESTATED TECHNOLOGY LICENSE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and effective as of October 1, 2008 by and among OXiGENE, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Licensor”), Symphony ViDA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Symphony Collaboration”) (each of Licensor and the Symphony Collaboration being a “Party,” and collectively, the “Parties”), and Symphony ViDA Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”).
          WHEREAS, Licensor and Holdings have entered into that certain Technology License Agreement, dated October 1, 2008 (the “Original Agreement”);
          WHEREAS, Holdings desires to assign its right, title and interest in, and delegate and novate its obligations under the Original Agreement to the Symphony Collaboration, and Licensor and the Symphony Collaboration desire to novate and restate the terms and conditions of the Original Agreement to effect such novation;
          WHEREAS, Licensor owns or has rights in certain technology, know-how, patents and other intellectual property rights related to the design, development, manufacture and/or use of the Products;
          WHEREAS, Licensor desires to grant to the Symphony Collaboration, and the Symphony Collaboration desires to acquire, the exclusive right to use such technology, know-how, patents and other intellectual property rights to develop and commercialize Products on the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
          WHEREAS, Licensor desires to receive, and the Symphony Collaboration desires to grant to Licensor, the exclusive right to use such technology, know-how, patents and other intellectual property rights to develop Products on behalf of the Symphony Collaboration on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
          NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
DEFINITIONS
          Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Annex A attached hereto.
ARTICLE 2
GRANT OF RIGHTS
          2.1 Assignment. Holdings hereby assigns to the Symphony Collaboration all of its right, title and interest in and to the Original Agreement. The
Portions of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 


 

Parties agree that from and after the Closing Date, all of the right, title, interest and obligations of Holdings under the Original Agreement will be assigned, novated and transferred to, and assumed by, the Symphony Collaboration, as amended and restated by this Agreement.
          2.2 License Grant. Subject to Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6 below, the limitations and restrictions set forth on Schedule 2.2, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensor, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to the Symphony Collaboration a fully paid, worldwide, exclusive license under the Licensed Intellectual Property, solely to make, have made, develop, use, offer for sale, sell, and import Products. For the avoidance of doubt, the license grant extends only to the field of the Products and/or the Programs. Licensor is free, without seeking or obtaining consent of the Symphony Collaboration, to license the Licensed Intellectual Property for exploitation outside the fields of the Product and/or the Programs, including, but not limited to, use of any Zybrestat Compound in any cancer treatment or therapy, other than malignant neoplastic tumors of the eye treated by via non-systemic administration of a Vascular Disrupting Agent.
          2.3 Sublicense to Licensor. The Symphony Collaboration hereby grants to Licensor a fully paid, worldwide, exclusive (even as to the Symphony Collaboration) sublicense under the Licensed Intellectual Property, with the right to grant further sublicense(s), solely to the extent required for Licensor to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under the Operative Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor shall only exercise its rights as sublicensee hereunder in connection with and for the purpose of carrying out Licensor’s obligations or exercising Licensor’s rights under the Operative Documents. In the event of the expiration of a Discontinuation Option without exercise by Licensor, the sublicense set forth in this Section 2.3 shall expire with respect to the Products relating to the Program to which such Discontinuation Option pertained. Upon the unexercised expiration or termination of the Purchase Option without Licensor’s exercise of the Purchase Option, the sublicense set forth in this Section 2.3 shall expire with respect to all Products relating to the Program(s) for which Licensor has not exercised the Discontinuation Option.
          2.4 Right to Sublicense. Subject to the limitations and restrictions set forth on Schedule 2.2, the license granted hereunder includes the right of the Symphony Collaboration to grant sublicenses under the Licensed Intellectual Property, provided, that,
               (a) subject to Sections 2.3 and 2.4(b), the Symphony Collaboration shall not sublicense any of the rights granted pursuant to Section 2.2 to any third party (including without limitation any Affiliates) prior to the expiration or termination of the Purchase Option without Licensor’s exercise of the Purchase Option;
               (b) notwithstanding (a), in the event of the expiration of a Discontinuation Option without exercise by Licensor, the Symphony Collaboration may

grant to third parties (including without limitation Affiliates) sublicenses of the rights granted pursuant to Section 2.2 with respect to the Products relating to the Program to which such Discontinuation Option pertained;
               (c) each sublicense granted (i) is pursuant to a written contract, (ii) is consistent with the terms of this Agreement, (iii) does not grant any rights beyond the scope of the license rights granted herein, and (iv) is as protective of Licensor’s rights as set forth in this Agreement; and
               (d) the Symphony Collaboration shall notify Licensor of the execution of any sublicense agreement, identifying the sublicensee and the scope of the sublicense, and upon Licensor’s written request, the Symphony Collaboration shall provide to Licensor copies of any sublicense agreements, provided that (i) the Symphony Collaboration may redact any financial or other proprietary information contained therein which does not affect Licensor’s rights and (ii) Licensor shall treat its copy of the sublicense agreements as Confidential Information of the Symphony Collaboration.
          2.5 Partial Reversion of License upon Licensor’s Exercise of Discontinuation Option.
               (a) Licensor and the Symphony Collaboration acknowledge that Licensor may exercise its Discontinuation Option pursuant to Section 11 of the Amended and Restated Research and Development Agreement. Upon the Discontinuation Option Closing Date, as applicable, (i) the license set forth in Section 2.2 (and the corresponding sublicense under Section 2.3) shall expire with respect to the Products relating to the Program for which Licensor exercised its Discontinuation Option, as applicable, (ii) those patents, patent applications, Know-How and the Symphony Collaboration Enhancements that were part of the Licensed Intellectual Property as of the applicable Discontinuation Option Closing Date and relate exclusively to such Program (including its Products) but not to any other Program, shall be deleted from the relevant intellectual property definitions, and accordingly, the Symphony Collaboration shall no longer be responsible for any obligations or costs (including royalties or fees to third parties, prosecution costs, maintenance costs and enforcement costs) accruing after such Discontinuation Option Closing Date with respect to such patents, patent applications, Know-How and the Symphony Collaboration Enhancements; and (iii) the Symphony Collaboration shall (a) at Licensor’s request and option, promptly return to Licensor or destroy all Tangible Materials relating solely to such Program; and (b) upon Licensor’s request, provide Licensor a copy of all Tangible Materials which relate to such Program (but not solely to such Program). The Parties shall, as necessary, promptly amend this Agreement, in connection with the exercise and consummation of the Discontinuation Option pursuant to Section 11 of the Amended and Restated Research and Development Agreement, and at Licensor’s request, the Symphony Collaboration shall perform such acts and execute such documents as Licensor may reasonably deem necessary or desirable, to give Licensor all rights it needs to pursue the Program for which such
Portions of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Discontinuation Option was exercised without any obligation to or dependency on the Symphony Collaboration and to limit this Agreement to the other Program.
               (b) Upon the Discontinuation Option Closing Date, Licensor and the Symphony Collaboration shall take all actions necessary to effect the assignment to the Licensor of the sponsorship to the Regulatory Files, if any, owned or Controlled by the Symphony Collaboration with respect to the Program for which the Discontinuation Option was exercised. After any such Regulatory Files are assigned to Licensor, the Symphony Collaboration shall have no further rights therein or obligations thereunder; provided, however, that during the [ * ] days following such assignment of Regulatory Files, at Licensor’s reasonable request and expense, the Symphony Collaboration shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Licensor with assistance in respect of such Regulatory Files. The Symphony Collaboration shall, at the reasonable request of Licensor and at Licensor’s expense, perform any acts that the Licensor may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence or confirm the Licensor’s ownership interest in such Regulatory Files, including, but not limited to, making further written assignments in a form reasonably determined by Licensor.
          2.6 IV Ophthalmology Limitation, Reservation of Rights & Restrictive Covenant.
               (a) IV Ophthalmology Limitation.
               (i) The Symphony Collaboration shall not conduct any IV Commercialization Activities without the consent of Licensor, provided that if the Symphony Collaboration requests such consent in accordance with Section 2.6(a)(iii), such consent may only be withheld in the event that Licensor believes in good faith that the licensing and/or commercialization of any Zybrestat Compound for use in any cancer treatment or therapy will be benefited by prohibiting the Symphony Collaboration from conducting IV Commercialization Activities.
               (ii) The Symphony Collaboration shall, as soon as practicable, determine in good faith if it believes that the development of an IV Ophthalmology Product is commercially viable, and shall inform Licensor of its conclusion. If the conclusion is that the development of an IV Ophthalmology Product is not commercially viable, the Symphony Collaboration shall thereafter be prohibited from conducting any IV Commercialization Activities without regard to the balance of this Section 2.6(a).
               (iii) The Symphony Collaboration may only request consent as set forth in Section 2.6(a)(i), if (A) the Symphony Collaboration has determined that the development of an IV Ophthalmology Product is commercially viable, (B) the Symphony Collaboration plans in good faith to conduct IV Commercialization Activities after receiving such consent, and (C) the
Portions of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Symphony Collaboration will start to incur, within a commercially reasonable period of time following any such consent, material expense in initiating any clinical study, in accordance with the then-current and approved Development Plan, which is either (1) a pivotal registration study; or (2) provided the Non-Pivotal Requirements are met, any other clinical study related to an IV Ophthalmology Product.
               (iv) In addition, in the event that Licensor believes in good faith that the licensing and/or commercialization of any Zybrestat Compound for use in any oncology indication will be benefited by prohibiting the Symphony Collaboration from conducting IV Commercialization Activities, Licensor shall have the right to issue to the Symphony Collaboration a Non-IV Notice.
               (v) In the event Licensor issues a Non-IV Notice or denies a request for consent from the Symphony Collaboration made in accordance with Section 2.6(a)(iii) to conduct any IV Commercialization Activities, then Section 2.06 of the Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement shall apply.
               (b) Reservation of Rights. All rights not expressly granted to a Party hereunder shall remain the exclusive property of the other Party. The Symphony Collaboration covenants and agrees that it will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to use or exploit the Licensed Intellectual Property outside of the scope of the licenses granted herein. For clarity, the Symphony Collaboration and its Affiliates shall not use or exploit the Licensed Intellectual Property for any purpose other than the development, manufacture, use, sale or importation of Products. Licensor covenants and agrees that Licensor will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, use or exploit the Licensed Intellectual Property in connection with the development, manufacture, use, sale, or importation of Products after the expiration of all sublicenses granted pursuant to Section 2.3; provided, however, that such covenant by Licensor shall not apply to any Program for which Licensor exercises a Discontinuation Option or to any Products relating to such Program. For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth below in Section 2.6(c), Licensor and its Affiliates shall not be restricted from using or otherwise exploiting the Licensed Intellectual Property with respect to products that are not Products and/or programs that are not Programs.
               (c) Restrictive Covenant. Except in connection with Licensor’s performance of its obligations pursuant to the Operative Documents, Licensor shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, independently or in conjunction with a third party (via license or otherwise) perform research related to, develop (including, but not limited to, preclinical and clinical development), or otherwise participate in activities related to the development or commercialization of, Ophthalmology Products or Second Generation OQP Products; provided, however, that such covenant by Licensor shall not apply to any Program for which Licensor exercises a Discontinuation Option or to any

Products relating to such Program. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.6(c) shall survive the unexercised expiration or termination of the Purchase Option without Licensor’s exercise of the Purchase Option.
          2.7 Regulatory Files After Expiration or Termination of Term or Discontinuation Option.
               (a) As soon as reasonably practical after the expiration or termination of the Purchase Option without exercise by Licensor and as of a date to be agreed upon by Licensor and the Symphony Collaboration, Licensor and the Symphony Collaboration shall, at the Symphony Collaboration’s expense, take all actions necessary to effect the assignment to the Symphony Collaboration or its designee of the sponsorship to the Regulatory Files with respect to the Programs for which Licensor has not exercised its Discontinuation Option. After such Regulatory Files are assigned to the Symphony Collaboration, Licensor shall have no further rights therein or obligations thereunder; provided, however, that during the [ * ] days following such assignment of Regulatory Files, at the Symphony Collaboration’s reasonable request and expense, Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Symphony Collaboration or its designee with assistance in respect of such Regulatory Files. Licensor shall, at the reasonable request of the Symphony Collaboration and at the Symphony Collaboration’s expense, perform any acts that the Symphony Collaboration may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence or confirm the Symphony Collaboration’s ownership interest in such Regulatory Files, including, but not limited to, making further written assignments in a form reasonably determined by the Symphony Collaboration. Without limiting the license rights granted under this ARTICLE 2, the Parties understand and agree that the assignment of such Regulatory Files does not include an assignment of any Licensed Intellectual Property.
               (b) As soon as reasonably practical after the expiration of a Discontinuation Option without exercise by Licensor and as of a date to be agreed upon by Licensor and the Symphony Collaboration, Licensor and the Symphony Collaboration shall, at the Symphony Collaboration’s expense, take all actions necessary to effect the assignment to the Symphony Collaboration or its designee of the sponsorship to the Regulatory Files with respect to the Program for which the Discontinuation Option has so expired. After such Regulatory Files are assigned to the Symphony Collaboration, Licensor shall have no further rights therein or obligations thereunder; provided, however, that during the [ * ] days following such assignment of Regulatory Files, at the Symphony Collaboration’s reasonable request and expense, Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Symphony Collaboration or its designee with assistance in respect of such Regulatory Files. Licensor shall, at the reasonable request of the Symphony Collaboration and at the Symphony Collaboration’s expense, perform any acts that the Symphony Collaboration may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence or confirm the Symphony Collaboration’s ownership interest in such Regulatory Files, including, but not limited to, making further written assignments in a form reasonably determined by the Symphony Collaboration. Without limiting the

license rights granted under this ARTICLE 2, the Parties understand and agree that the assignment of such Regulatory Files does not include an assignment of any Licensed Intellectual Property.
               (c) Right To Reference Symphony Regulatory Files. Effective upon the expiration or termination of the Purchase Option without Licensor’s exercise of the Purchase Option, or the expiration of the Discontinuation Option for the Ophthalmology Program without exercise by Licensor, the Symphony Collaboration hereby grants to Licensor a fully paid, worldwide, non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses, to reference and otherwise have access to the Symphony Regulatory Files (including any DMF therein) solely in connection with the development and commercialization of Zybrestat Compounds for use in connection with cancer treatment or therapy (other than the treatment of neoplastic tumors of the eye treated via methods other than systemic administration of a Vascular Disrupting Agent).
               (d) Right To Reference Licensor Regulatory Files. Effective upon the expiration or termination of the Purchase Option without Licensor’s exercise of the Purchase Option, Licensor, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to the Symphony Collaboration a fully paid, worldwide, non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses, to reference and otherwise have access to the Licensor Regulatory Files, solely in connection with the development and commercialization of Ophthalmology Products. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.7(d) shall not in any way limit the Symphony Collaboration’s rights pursuant to Sections 2.7(a) or 2.7(b).
          2.8 Delivery of Materials After Expiration or Termination of Term.
               (a) Upon the expiration or termination of the Purchase Option without exercise by Licensor, Licensor shall, at the Symphony Collaboration’s expense, promptly deliver to the Symphony Collaboration all copies of Tangible Materials existing as of the date of such unexercised expiration or termination that relate to the Programs for which Licensor has not exercised its Discontinuation Option; provided, however, that Licensor may also retain copies of (and the right to use) those Tangible Materials that are required to be delivered to the Symphony Collaboration hereunder but which also relate to (i) any Program for which Licensor has exercised its Discontinuation Option or (ii) any other program or product of Licensor, including without limitation, the development and commercialization of Zybrestat Compounds for use in connection with cancer treatment or therapy (other than the treatment of neoplastic tumors of the eye treated via methods other than systemic administration of a Vascular Disrupting Agent).
               (b) In the event of the expiration of a Discontinuation Option without exercise by Licensor, Licensor shall, at the Symphony Collaboration’s expense, promptly deliver to the Symphony Collaboration all copies of Tangible Materials existing as of the date of such expiration that relate to the Program to which the Discontinuation Option pertained; provided, however, that Licensor may also retain copies of (and the right to use) those Tangible Materials that are required to be delivered to the Symphony

Collaboration hereunder but which also relate to (i) any other Program or (ii) any other program or product of Licensor, including without limitation, the development and commercialization of Zybrestat Compounds for use in connection with cancer treatment or therapy (other than the treatment of neoplastic tumors of the eye treated via methods other than systemic administration of a Vascular Disrupting Agent).
          2.9 License Opportunities. In the event that, during the Term, Licensor reasonably determines that it is necessary to license from any third party any intellectual property relating to the composition of matter, use, manufacture, formulation or exploitation of the Products (“Third Party IP”) and Licensor desires to license such Third Party IP during the Term, then (i) if Licensor desires the Symphony Collaboration to pay any or all of the financial obligations under such license, Licensor shall obtain the Symphony Collaboration’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, before acquiring such license; and (ii) if the Symphony Collaboration provides such consent, then unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the time such license is granted, the right to sublicense such Third Party IP to the Symphony Collaboration consistent with the terms of this Agreement as if such Third Party IP were Licensed Intellectual Property. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, the financial obligations under any license to Third Party IP obtained by Licensor with the Symphony Collaboration’s consent shall (1) be borne fully by the Symphony Collaboration if (A) such Third Party IP relates solely to the composition of matter, use, manufacture, formulation or exploitation of the Products or (B) such license is limited in scope to the composition of matter, use, manufacture, formulation or exploitation of one or more Products, and, at the time of entering into such third party license, Licensor has not exercised its Discontinuation Option with respect to the Program to which such Third Party IP or scope of such license relates; or (2) be shared by the Parties in amounts and/or percentages to be agreed upon by the Parties prior to Licensor entering into such third party license, if such Third Party IP or scope of such license relates (but does not relate solely) to the composition of matter, use, manufacture, formulation or exploitation of Products within Program(s) for which Licensor has not exercised its Discontinuation Option and also relates to either (x) the composition of matter, use, manufacture, formulation or exploitation of Products within Program(s) for which Licensor has exercised its Discontinuation Option or (y) the composition of matter, use, manufacture, formulation or exploitation of other products of Licensor; or (3) be borne fully by Licensor if such Third Party IP or scope of such license relates solely to the composition of matter, use, manufacture, formulation or exploitation of Product(s) within a Program(s) for which Licensor has exercised its Discontinuation Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor shall have no obligation to obtain any such third party licenses under this Agreement or, in the event that the Symphony Collaboration does not give such consent, to grant any sublicenses to the Symphony Collaboration. Upon obtaining a license to such Third Party IP and the right to sublicense to the Symphony Collaboration, the Parties will, as necessary, promptly amend this Agreement to include such sublicensed intellectual property within the license granted hereunder, incorporate any other limitations, royalties or other provisions required by such third party with respect to such sublicense, and address the Symphony

Collaboration’s rights (if any) with respect to patent prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of patents and patent applications within such Third Party IP.
          2.10 Separate Third Party License for Discontinued Program. In the event of the expiration of a Discontinuation Option without exercise by Licensor, the Symphony Collaboration has the right to transfer to a third party the Symphony Collaboration’s rights to the Products relating to the Program to which such Discontinuation Option pertained (the “Discontinued Program”). If the Symphony Collaboration identifies a third party that wishes to obtain such rights, then upon the Symphony Collaboration’s request, (i) Licensor and the Symphony Collaboration shall amend this Agreement to terminate all of the Symphony Collaboration’s rights and obligations to the extent applicable to the Discontinued Program and (ii) Licensor shall enter into a separate license agreement with such third party in which all of such terminated rights and obligations shall be conferred upon and undertaken by such third party. The terms and conditions of such license agreement shall be identical to those contained herein, to the extent that such terms are applicable to the Discontinued Program and not dependent on any Operative Document other than this Agreement. Such terms shall include but not be limited to (1) provisions allowing for termination of such license agreement upon a material, uncured breach of such license agreement by the third party on similar terms as provided herein with respect to the Symphony Collaboration and (2) a confidentiality provision that is not dependent on any of the Operative Documents. Termination of this Agreement shall not effect such license agreement and Licensor’s obligation to enter into such a license agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement.
          2.11 Supply of Product After Expiration or Termination of Term. In the event of expiration or termination of the Purchase Option without exercise by Licensor, without limiting Licensor’s other obligations pursuant to the Operative Documents, during the [ * ] day period following any such expiration or termination, Licensor agrees to cooperate in good faith and provide reasonable assistance to the Symphony Collaboration (or its partners or transferees hereunder), at the expense of the Symphony Collaboration, in connection with the transition of the continued development (including, but not limited to, clinical development), manufacture and commercialization of Products by the Symphony Collaboration (or its partners or transferees hereunder), including, but not limited to, the supply of active ingredients or other compositions of matter during such period.
          2.12 Post-Term Zybrestat Cross-Licenses.
               (a) Symphony Collaboration License Grant. Effective upon the expiration or termination of the Purchase Option without Licensor’s exercise of the Purchase Option, the Symphony Collaboration hereby grants to Licensor a fully paid, worldwide, non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses, under the Symphony Zybrestat Patents, solely to make, have made, develop, use, offer for sale, sell,

ARTICLE 3
SUBLICENSE TO CERTAIN THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
          3.1 Third Party Sublicense Payments. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, to the extent that (a) any Licensed Intellectual Property is licensed to Licensor pursuant to a Third Party License Agreement and the development, manufacture, use, sale or other commercialization of any Product by the Symphony Collaboration shall require the Licensor to make a royalty payment, milestone or any other payment obligation to the third party licensor of such Licensed Intellectual Property, (i) the Symphony Collaboration shall be responsible for the satisfaction of such royalty payment, milestone or any other obligation to such licensor if such payment is triggered by the development, manufacture, use, sale or other commercialization of any Product by the Symphony Collaboration (including, without limitation, by Licensor in the performance of the Amended and Restated Research and Development Agreement); or (ii) such royalty payment shall be shared by the Parties in amounts and/or percentages to be agreed upon by the Parties if such payment relates (but does not relate solely) to the manufacture, use, sale or other commercialization of any Product by the Symphony Collaboration (including, without limitation, by Licensor in the performance of the Amended and Restated Research and Development Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Third Party License Agreements existing as of the Closing Date, the Symphony Collaboration’s obligations under this Section 3.1 for Products will be limited solely to those royalties and milestones set forth on Annex B.
          3.2 Sublicensed Intellectual Property. The Symphony Collaboration acknowledges (i) that certain Licensed Intellectual Property is licensed to Licensor or its Affiliates pursuant to the Third Party License Agreements and will be sublicensed to the Symphony Collaboration hereunder (the “Sublicensed Intellectual Property”) and (ii) that such sublicense is subject to certain restrictions and obligations set forth in the applicable Third Party License Agreements (the “Sublicense Obligations”), including but not limited to those restrictions and obligations set forth on Schedule 2.2. The Symphony Collaboration agrees to either be bound by the Sublicense Obligations or forfeit the applicable sublicense of such Intellectual Property under Section 2.2; provided, however, that the Symphony Collaboration cannot use this Section 3.2 to avoid any Sublicense

Obligation that has accrued after the Closing Date and prior to the date the Symphony Collaboration elects to forfeit the applicable sublicense. Licensor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Symphony Collaboration (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), fail to timely and diligently pursue and exercise any option or right, pursuant to any agreement between Licensor or its Affiliates and a third party, to obtain rights for the Symphony Collaboration in any patent, patent application, invention disclosure or Know-How that relates to, or is exploitable in connection with, any Licensed Intellectual Property, Regulatory Files, Products and/or Programs, and all such rights obtained shall be considered Sublicensed Intellectual Property hereunder. Licensor shall provide the Symphony Collaboration with prompt written notice of the termination or purported termination of any Third Party License Agreement.
ARTICLE 4
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
          4.1 Ownership. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, as between Licensor and the Symphony Collaboration, and subject to Schedule 2.2, Licensor or its licensors are the owners of all right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Intellectual Property, including without limitation the Symphony Collaboration Enhancements and the Regulatory Files. The Symphony Collaboration hereby assigns to Licensor all of the Symphony Collaboration’s rights and interests in any Symphony Collaboration Enhancement, including any rights in inventions made jointly by Licensor and the Symphony Collaboration. The Symphony Collaboration shall promptly disclose any Symphony Collaboration Enhancement to Licensor, and shall use reasonable efforts, at Licensor’s request and at no cost to Licensor, to cooperate fully with Licensor to transfer such Symphony Collaboration Enhancements to Licensor. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensor shall have no interest in or rights, other than that provided by Section 2.12, in connection with any Know-How (including findings, improvements, discoveries, inventions, additions, modifications, enhancements, derivative works, clinical development data, or changes to the Licensed Know-How, Regulatory Files, Products or the Programs), that is made by or on behalf of the Symphony Collaboration subsequent to the expiration or termination of the Purchase Option without Licensor’s exercise of the Purchase Option.
          4.2 Marking. The Symphony Collaboration shall mark, and shall cause all of its sublicensees to mark, all Products, or the packaging thereof or materials related thereto, with the number of the applicable patents licensed hereunder in accordance with the applicable jurisdiction’s patent law.

               (a) Unless otherwise set forth in this Section 4.3, (i) Licensor shall prepare, file, prosecute and maintain all patents and patent applications in Licensed Patent Rights for which Licensor has patent prosecution and maintenance rights (including without limitation all such patents and patent applications in the Sublicensed

Intellectual Property); and (ii) Licensor shall provide the Symphony Collaboration with (1) quarterly reports regarding the status of the prosecution and maintenance of Licensed Patent Rights, (2) copies of and/or access to any patent documents related to the Licensed Patent Rights as reasonably requested by the Symphony Collaboration, (3) copies of patent applications and other substantive patent prosecution documents pertaining to the Program-Specific Patents prior to filing in the United States so as to afford the Symphony Collaboration and its patent counsel, at the Symphony Collaboration’s expense, a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents and (4) timely answers to the Symphony Collaboration’s questions regarding the status of patents and patent applications in Licensed Patent Rights.
               (b) Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts to seek the allowance of broad generic claims that read on Products as well as Program-Specific Claims, consistent with Licensor’s determination of enforceability, business considerations and other factors.
               (c) Subject to a reasonable allocation of costs in the event that any Program-Specific Patent relates to Licensor’s business other than the Programs, the cost of the prosecution and maintenance of Program-Specific Patents shall be paid by the Symphony Collaboration. Upon the scope of any Licensed Patent Rights being amended so that the patent or patent application’s claims no longer relate to, or are exploitable in connection with, any Product and/or any Program, for which Licensor has not exercised a Discontinuation Option, such patent or patent application shall cease to be a Licensed Patent Right and all rights and obligations with respect to such patent or patent application (including costs, fees, prosecution, maintenance and enforcement) shall revert to Licensor.
               (d) The Symphony Collaboration shall not be responsible for the costs of any interference or reexamination initiated by Licensor with respect to the Program-Specific Patents (except to the extent allocated in the Development Budget), unless the Parties mutually agree in writing (i) that it is reasonably necessary or useful to file and prosecute such interference or re-examination in connection with such Program-Specific Patents to protect their interests in such Program-Specific Patents and (ii) to a reasonable allocation of costs in the event that any Program-Specific Patents relate to Licensor’s business other than the Programs, which agreement will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event, however, that (i) the Symphony Collaboration does not agree to pay such costs (or its share of costs as reasonably allocated as set forth above) of such interference or reexamination and (ii) Licensor successfully files and prosecutes or settles such interference or reexamination at its sole cost, then the licenses granted by Licensor to the Symphony Collaboration in Section 2.2 herein shall immediately terminate with respect to specific Program-Specific Patent subject to such interference or reexamination.
               (e) The Symphony Collaboration shall not be responsible for the costs of any opposition, protest or reexamination initiated by Licensor with respect to

any intellectual property rights owned or controlled by a third party, including those related to any pending patent application, (except to the extent allocated in the Development Budget), unless the Parties mutually agree in writing (i) that it is reasonably necessary or useful to file and prosecute such opposition, protest or reexamination in connection with such third party intellectual property to protect their interests in the Programs and (ii) to a reasonable allocation of costs in the event that such third party intellectual property relates to Licensor’s business other than the Programs, which agreement will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
               (f) Each Party shall provide the prosecuting Party with reasonable cooperation under this Section 4.3.
          4.4 Abandonment. Subject to the limitations and restrictions set forth on Schedule 2.2, Licensor shall not cancel a Program-Specific Claim or abandon a Program-Specific Patent without [ * ]. If the Symphony Collaboration does not provide such consent [ * ] upon Licensor’s request, then Licensor may (i) continue to prosecute such Program-Specific Claim in the patent application in which it is currently pending, or (ii) cancel such Program-Specific Claim in a manner that allows future prosecution of such claim and then propose such claim in a newly filed divisional or continuation application that the Symphony Collaboration may prosecute at its expense (including reimbursing Licensor for the costs associated with filing such divisional or continuation application) in the name of Licensor and in the Symphony Collaboration’s discretion.
          4.5 Infringement. Each Party agrees to immediately notify the other Party upon becoming aware of any infringement, misappropriation, illegal use or misuse of the Licensed Intellectual Property in connection with Products and provide to the other Party all available evidence of such infringement.
          4.6 Enforcement Right During Term.
               (a) Except as provided in Section 4.6(b), prior to the expiration or termination of the Purchase Option without Licensor’s exercise of the Purchase Option, Licensor has the first right, but not the obligation, to take action against others in the courts, administrative agencies or otherwise to prevent, terminate or seek damages on account of infringement, misappropriation, illegal use or misuse of the Licensed Patent Rights or other Licensed Intellectual Property; including such actions against others to prevent, terminate or seek damages on account of a Symphony Collaboration Relevant Infringement. The costs and expenses of any such action shall be borne by the Symphony Collaboration to the extent the action relates to a Symphony Collaboration Relevant Infringement; provided, that the Symphony Collaboration’s written consent was obtained prior to the initiation of such action, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Symphony Collaboration shall, at its expense, cooperate with and reasonably assist Licensor in any such action if so requested by Licensor, and, upon Licensor’s request, execute, file and deliver all documents and proof necessary for such purpose, including being named as a party to such litigation if requested by Licensor or if

               (b) Subject to the limitations and restrictions set forth on Schedule 2.2, if, (1) during the Term, the Symphony Collaboration requests Licensor to take action pursuant to Section 4.6(a) with respect to a Symphony Collaboration Relevant Infringement that either (i) solely involves the enforcement of a Program-Specific Patent or (ii) involves the enforcement of other Licensed Intellectual Property relating exclusively to the Programs and there is not a claim of an issued Program-Specific Patent, and (2) Licensor does not within [ * ] days of the Symphony Collaboration’s written request take such action or provide the Symphony Collaboration with a reasonable basis for not taking such action and subject to the Symphony Collaboration and Licensor first engaging in good-faith discussions during such [ * ]-day period in an attempt to balance the Parties’ respective interests, then the Symphony Collaboration shall have the option to commence any such action under its own direction and control, and at the Symphony Collaboration’s cost and expense; provided, that Licensor agrees that neither (x) the potential disturbance of an actual or potential commercial relationship between Licensor and a third party nor (y) concerns regarding potential risks to the Licensed Intellectual Property or other intellectual property owned or controlled by Licensor is a reasonable basis for Licensor not taking such action. Licensor shall, at the Symphony Collaboration’s expense, cooperate with and reasonably assist the Symphony Collaboration in any such action if so requested by the Symphony Collaboration, and, upon the Symphony Collaboration’s request, execute, file and deliver all documents and proof necessary for such purpose, including being named as a party to such litigation if requested by the Symphony Collaboration or if required by Law.

          (d) any counsel employed by the applicable Indemnifying Party shall fail to timely commence or reasonably conduct the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding and such failure has prejudiced (or is in immediate danger of prejudicing) the outcome of such Indemnified Proceeding (it being agreed that in any case referred to in this clause (iv) such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party); in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel for such Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of such Indemnifying Party. Only one counsel shall be retained by all Indemnified Parties with respect to any Indemnified Proceeding, unless counsel for any Indemnified Party reasonably concludes in good faith (which conclusion shall be

Without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party, such Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment in, any pending or threatened Indemnified Proceeding, unless such settlement, compromise, consent or related judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability for Losses arising out of such claim, action, investigation, suit or other legal proceeding, (ii) provides for the payment of money damages as the sole relief for the claimant (whether at law or in equity), (iii) involves no admission of fact adverse to the Indemnified Party or finding or admission of any violation of law or the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party, and (iv) is not in the nature of a criminal or regulatory action. No Indemnified Party shall settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment in, any pending or threatened Indemnified Proceeding (A) in respect of which any payment would result hereunder or under any other Operative Document, (B) which includes an injunction that will adversely affect any Indemnifying Party, (C) which involves an admission of fact adverse to the Indemnifying Party or a finding or admission of any violation of law or the rights of any Person by the Indemnifying Party, (D) which is in the nature of a criminal or regulatory action, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, or (E) which admits the invalidity, misuse or unenforceability of a Licensed Patent Right, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.
          6.5 Limitation of Liability. TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER PARTY NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS OR AGENTS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY OF ANY TYPE (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CLAIMS IN CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE AND TORT LIABILITY) FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE LOSS OF OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF USE OR LOSS OF REVENUE OR PROFIT IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES PERFORMED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES MAY HAVE BEEN FORESEEABLE.
