The deductions referred to in this Clause shall only be made where (and to the extent that) the technology that is the subject of the Licensed Technology cannot be used without infringing a Valid Claim of the Third Party Patents or other Intellectual Property Rights that are the subject of the Third Party Licence (and shall not be made in respect of any other Third Party (excluding any Sub-Licensee) technology or Intellectual Property that Nuvectis (or any Affiliate and/or Sub-Licensee) chooses to use in the manufacture or sale of any Licensed Product). For the avoidance of doubt, this Clause 3.10 shall not apply to Combination Products.

3.11

Generic Reduction. If a Generic Product for a Licensed Product is being sold in a country, the royalties payable by Nuvectis in respect of such country and such Licensed Product shall, subject to Clause 3.12, be reduced by (a) [***] percent ([***]%) from the first full Quarter after the date on which Level 1 Generic Competition first exists in such country, or (b) [***] percent ([***]%) from the first full Quarter after the date on which Level 2 Generic Competition first exists in such country, but only for so long as the applicable (Level 1 or Level 2) Generic Product is being sold in such country.

3.12

Absolute floor to reductions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that either or both of the reduction mechanisms set out in Clause 3.10 or 3.11 are applicable to any Net Sales generated in any Year, in no circumstances shall Nuvectis be entitled to reduce the aggregate amount of the Net Sales royalties payable to the University in such Year, by more than [***] per cent ([***]%) of the amount which would have been payable to the University in the absence of the reduction mechanisms provided by Clause 3.10 and/or Clause 3.11 as applicable.

3.13

Historical Patent Costs. Nuvectis shall pay to the University within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date the following Patent Costs incurred up to and including the Effective Date: [***] ([***]).

All costs of transmission and currency conversion shall be borne by Nuvectis;

4.2.3

4.3

Exchange controls. If, at any time during the Term, Nuvectis is prohibited from making any of the payments required hereunder by a governmental authority in any country then Nuvectis shall within the prescribed period for making the said payments in the appropriate manner use its best endeavours to secure from the proper authority in the relevant country permission to make the said payments and shall make them within seven (7) days of receiving such permission. If such permission is not received within thirty (30) days of Nuvectis making a request for such permission then, at the option of the University, either Nuvectis shall deposit the royalty payments due in the currency of the relevant country in a bank account designated by University within such country or such royalty payments shall be made to an associated company of University designated by University and having offices in the relevant country designated by the University.

4.4

Royalty statements. At the same time as each royalty payment is due under Clauses 3.4 to 3.6 (inclusive), Nuvectis shall send to University a statement (the template for which will be provided by the University in due course) setting out, in respect of the Quarter to which the royalty payment relates and in respect of each country in the Territory in which Licensed Products and/or Additional Licensed Products are sold, disposed of and/or supplied:

(k)

together with sufficient information to enable University to ascertain whether any Milestone Payments have become due or if any specific diligence conditions have occurred pursuant to Clause 5.2, expressed both in local currency and US Dollars and showing the conversion rates used, during the Quarter to which the royalty payment relates.

4.5

Records. Nuvectis shall and shall procure that each Sub-Licensee and its Affiliate shall:

4.5.1

keep at its normal place of business detailed and up-to-date records and accounts (including any underlying documents supporting such accounts and records) showing the quantity, description and value of Licensed Products and/or Additional Licensed Products sold, disposed of and/or supplied by it, its Sub-Licensees and/or its Affiliates and the amount and basis of Sub-Licensee Revenues received by it on a country-by-country basis, and being sufficient to ascertain the payments due under this Agreement for the Royalty Term and for a period of six (6) years after the expiry or termination of this Agreement; and

4.5.2

make such records and accounts reasonably available, on not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice, for inspection during business hours by an independent chartered accountant nominated by University for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of any statement or report given by Nuvectis to University under this Clause 4. The accountant shall be required to keep confidential all information learnt during any such inspection, and to disclose to University only such details as may be necessary to report on the accuracy of Nuvectis’s statement or report. University shall be responsible for the accountant’s charges unless the accountant certifies that there is an inaccuracy of more than [***] percent ([***]%) in any royalty statement, in which case Nuvectis shall pay the charges in respect of that inspection within thirty (30) days of the University’s invoice for same. Such right of inspection may only be exercised once in any Year subject to Clause 4.6.

4.6

Audit rights. University (and/or its nominee) shall not be entitled to carry out more than one inspection pursuant to this Clause 4.6 in any one Year except where an inspection confirms a shortfall exceeding [***] per cent ([***]%) of the sum properly payable. In such event, University (and/or its nominee) will then be entitled to carry out a second inspection each year for a further period of [***] following the date on which such a shortfall was confirmed.

If, following any inspection pursuant to this Clause 4.6, University’s nominated accountant confirms to Nuvectis that the payments in respect of any Quarter or Year fall short of the sums which were properly payable in respect of that Quarter or Year under this Agreement, University shall send a copy of the certificate to Nuvectis and Nuvectis shall within thirty (30) days of the date of receipt of the certificate pay the shortfall to University including the accountant’s charges if the shortfall exceeds [***] per cent ([***]%) in that Quarter or Year.

If, within thirty (30) days of the date of receipt by Nuvectis any certificate produced pursuant to this Clause 4.6, Nuvectis notifies University in writing that it disputes the certificate, the dispute shall be referred for resolution by the Expert.

For the purpose of verifying the calculation of the sums payable under this Agreement, at any time during normal business hours upon providing seven (7) days’ written notice, University (and/or its nominee) may:

(a)

inspect all records, information and books of account of Nuvectis and any Affiliates and Sub-Licensees;

(b)

subject to Clause 4.10, make and remove copies of, or extracts of, all relevant records, information and books of account of Nuvectis, its Affiliates and/or Sub-Licensees; and

(c)

interview any of Nuvectis’s and/or its Affiliate’s and/or Sub-Licensees’ employees and directors who may reasonably be considered to have information relevant to the University’s enquiries that is not available to it under one of the preceding sub-Clauses.

4.7

Nuvectis shall use reasonable commercial endeavours to ensure that, for the purpose of verifying the sums payable under this Agreement to the University (and/or its nominee), Nuvectis and the University (and/or its nominee) are granted the following rights (or substantially similar rights) in respect of each sub-licence granted pursuant to this Agreement:

(a)

the right to inspect all records, information and books of account of the Sub- Licensee that are applicable to the sub-licence; and

(b)

subject to appropriate obligations of confidentiality, the right to make and remove copies of, or extracts of, all relevant records, information and books of account of the Sub-Licensee that are applicable to the sub-licence (the “Audit Rights”). And upon the reasonable request of the University, Nuvectis shall exercise those Audit Rights and thereafter disclose all information received by Nuvectis as a result of the exercise of the Audit Rights, to the University (and/or its nominee).

4.8

Nuvectis shall reasonably co-operate and shall require its agents and other professional advisers to reasonably co-operate, and shall use reasonable commercial endeavours to procure that its subcontractors, Sub-Licensees, Affiliates and its agents and other professional advisers reasonably co-operate, with the University or its duly authorised agent or representative whilst they are exercising the rights set out above.

4.9

As provided in Clause 4.6, if the verification carried out above should reveal a discrepancy between the sums actually paid to the University as against the sums which were due to be paid under this Agreement, Nuvectis shall within thirty (30) days make up any shortfall to the University. If an inspection reveals an overpayment by Nuvectis, University will deduct such overpayment from any other amounts payable hereunder by Nuvectis to University.

4.10

The University shall maintain, or shall require its duly authorised agent or representative to maintain, as confidential all financial information or information of a confidential or proprietary nature received from Nuvectis and/or its Affiliates and/or Sub-Licensee under this Clause 4.

6.1.1

be responsible for the filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Licensed Patents and/or Additional Licensed Patents (in the name of University where they are owned solely by or jointly with the University) and will use its Diligent and Reasonable Endeavours to maximise the duration and scope thereof. With respect to each Licensed Product and/or Additional Licensed Product, Nuvectis shall, at the time of receipt of the relevant Regulatory Approval (or such other time as appropriate) and where it is commercially reasonable to do so, apply for a Supplementary Protection Certificate, patent term extension and/or any other available exclusivity in respect of such Licensed Product and/or Additional Licensed Products in each of the Major Markets;

From the date of expiry of such notice:

6.2.1

Nuvectis shall cease to be licensed under the Patents identified in the notice and such Patents shall be deemed to be removed from the definition of Licensed Patents and/or Additional Licensed Patents;

6.2.2

If the Parties fail to agree on a joint programme of action, including how the costs of any such action are to be borne and how any damages or other sums received from such action are to be distributed, then:

6.3.1

Nuvectis shall be entitled to take action against the third party at its sole expense and in its sole discretion, subject to Clauses 6.1 to 6.5 inclusive and shall report to University on the steps taken; and

6.3.2

all damages or other sums received from such action including any settlements, after deduction of the out-of-pocket costs incurred by Nuvectis directly in connection with taking the action, will be considered Net Sales in respect of Licensed Products and/or Additional Licensed Products and Nuvectis shall pay royalties on such Net Sales in accordance with this Agreement.

In any such proceedings, University shall, at Nuvectis’s cost, promptly provide Nuvectis with all documents and assistance as Nuvectis may reasonably require. Nuvectis shall promptly provide University with notice of such proceedings and keep University regularly informed of progress and promptly provide University with such information as it may require including copies of all documents filed at court in the proceedings.

6.3.3

6.4.2

any action or proceedings relating to the Licensed Know-How, Licensed Compound Know-How, Know-How in the Collaboration IP and/or Improvement Compound Know-How; and

the Parties shall consult with each other to determine the best way to respond to such action. If University notifies Nuvectis that it does not wish to defend such action then Nuvectis shall be entitled to defend such action at its sole expense and in its sole discretion subject to Clause 6.9, and in such circumstances Nuvectis shall have the right to retain any costs awarded in relation to such action.

6.5

Response to infringement of or challenge to Licensed Patents and/or Additional Licensed Patents. In respect of any action taken by Nuvectis under Clause 6.3, 6.4 or 6.6, Nuvectis shall:

6.5.1

before starting any such action, consult with University as to the advisability of the action or settlement, its effect on the good name of the University, the public interest, and how the action should be conducted; and

6.5.2

reimburse University for any reasonable expenses incurred in assisting Nuvectis in such action unless otherwise agreed in writing.

[***] University may, at its discretion, at any time, take an active part in any proceedings which have been brought or defended by Nuvectis, and shall have the right to be separately represented by its own counsel. University shall bear the costs of its own counsel and involvement in any proceedings solely brought or defended by Nuvectis.

6.6

Infringement of third party rights. If any warning letter or other notice of infringement is received by a Party, or legal suit or other action is brought against a Party, alleging (i) infringement of third party rights through the manufacture, use, sale or supply of any Licensed Product and/or Additional Licensed Products; or (ii) misappropriation or misuse of third party Know-How in the course of manufacture, use, sale or supply of any Licensed Product and/or Additional Licensed Products, that Party shall promptly provide full details to the other Party, and the Parties shall discuss the best way to respond. Nuvectis shall have the right but not the obligation to defend such suit and shall have the right to settle with such third party, provided that if any action or proposed settlement involves the making of any statement concerning the validity of any Licensed Patent and/or Additional Licensed Patents or any statement which may have an effect on the good name of the University, the consent of University must be obtained before taking such action or making such settlement and University shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent.

6.7

[***].

6.8

Non delegation. Without prejudice to the generality of, and except as expressly set forth in, Clause 13.5, Nuvectis may not assign, sub-license or delegate its rights or obligations in Clause 6.1 to 6.9 inclusive without the prior written consent of the University.

6.9

Restriction on enforcement. Nuvectis shall not (and shall ensure that its Sub-Licensees and Affiliates shall not) enforce the Licensed Technology against any charity or other not-for-profit organisation undertaking non-commercial research. Nuvectis shall consult with the University prior to enforcing the Licensed Technology against any charity or other not-for-profit organisation undertaking commercial research.

6.10

Ownership of Licensed Patents and Additional Licensed Patents. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) the Licensed Patents, (ii) any Additional Licensed Patents licensed as part of the Licensed Technology, and (iii) any Patents claiming priority from (i) and (ii), whether or not in existence at the Effective Date shall at all times remain vested solely in the University.

6.11

Ownership of Collaboration IP. Ownership of Collaboration IP arising from work carried out under the Development Collaboration Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the Development Collaboration Agreement.

6.12

Nuvectis Improvements and Nuvectis Improvement IP. If Nuvectis at any time devises, discovers or acquires rights in any Improvements (generated solely by Nuvectis, its Affiliates and/or Sub-Licensees during the Term) (“Nuvectis Improvements”), Nuvectis shall, to the extent that it is not prohibited by law promptly notify University in writing giving details of it and provide to the University such information or [***].

If the Parties are unable to resolve a given Dispute pursuant to this Clause 13.12 within fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of a written notice referring the Dispute to the Executive Officers, either Party may:

have the given Dispute settled by an Expert and where the Dispute relates to the scope, validity, enforceability or infringement of any Patents Covering a Licensed Product and/or Additional Licensed Product, submit the dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in the country in which such Patent rights were granted or arose; or where the Dispute does not relate to any matter described above, have the given Dispute settled by binding arbitration pursuant to Clause 13.10.

EXPERT DETERMINATION PROCEDURE

The Party wishing to refer a matter to an independent expert pursuant to a provision of this Agreement shall give written notice to that effect to the other Party giving details of the matters it wishes to refer to the expert (“Referral Notice”).

The Parties shall agree the identity of a single independent, impartial expert to determine such terms. In the absence of such agreement within 14 days after receipt of the Referral Notice, either Party may apply to the Expert Appointment Body to appoint, as an independent expert, a person qualified by education, experience and training to determine the matter in dispute (the “Expert”).

Within 14 days after the appointment of the Expert the Parties shall exchange, as appropriate their statements of case, or proposed terms together with any relevant explanation of the basis of those terms, (the “Submission”) and shall simultaneously send a copy of its Submission to the Expert.

Each of the Parties may, within 30 days of the date of exchange of their Submissions, serve a reply to the other Party’s Submissions. A copy of any such reply shall be simultaneously sent to the Expert.

The Expert shall make his decision on the matter in dispute on the basis of the Submissions and replies and supporting documentation only and there shall be no oral hearing. The Expert shall, to the extent reasonably possible issue his decision in writing with reasons within 30 days of the date of the last reply pursuant to paragraph 4 above or, in the absence of receipt of any replies, within 60 days of the date of exchange pursuant to paragraph 3 above.

The determination of the Expert shall be final and binding upon the Parties. Both Parties agree to be bound by and, subject to any relevant provision in this Agreement, to implement the written decision of the Expert with no right of appeal.

Any person appointed to determine a dispute in accordance with this procedure shall act as an Expert and not as an arbitrator and the provisions of the Arbitration Act 1996 (as amended from time to time) and the law relating to arbitrations shall not apply to such Expert or his determination or the procedure by which he reaches his determination.

Each Party shall bear their own costs in connection with the reference of a dispute to an Expert and the costs of the Expert (including the costs of any advisers engaged by him) will be paid by the parties to the dispute in equal proportions unless otherwise determined by the Expert.
