In addition to the right of Penn to examine the books and records and interview key personnel as provided in Section 4.10 above, Penn, at its own cost, through an independent auditor reasonably acceptable to Licensee (and who has executed an appropriate confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Licensee that requires the auditor to keep any information learned by it confidential except as needed to report its audit conclusions to Penn), may inspect and audit the relevant records of Licensee pertaining to the calculation of any Development Milestone Payments, Commercial Milestone Payments, Royalties and Penn Sublicense Income due to Penn under this Agreement. Licensee shall provide such auditors with access to the records during reasonable business hours. Such access need not be given to any such set of records more often than once each year or more than [*] after the date of any report to be audited. Penn shall provide Licensee with written notice of its election to inspect and audit the records related to the Development Milestone Payments,

Commercial Milestone Payments and Royalties due hereunder not less than [*] prior to the proposed date of review of Licensee’s records by Penn’s auditors. Should the auditor find any underpayment of Development Milestone Payments, Commercial Milestone Payments, Royalties or Penn Sublicense Income by Licensee, Licensee shall (a) promptly pay Penn the amount of such underpayment; (b) shall reimburse Penn for the cost of the audit, if such underpayment equals or exceeds the higher of (i) [*]or (ii) [*] of combined Development Milestone Payments, Commercial Milestone Payments, Royalties and Penn Sublicense Income paid during the time period audited; and (c) provide such auditors with an audit right exercisable within [*] after Penn receives the audit report.

Licensee shall have the first right to sponsor all clinical activities and lead regulatory interactions for the Licensed Products for each Indication under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee will have the first option, but not an obligation, to conduct a FIH Clinical Study for each Licensed Product developed under the Research Program. Licensee will consider in good faith using Penn as a study site for one or more studies where Penn can reasonably demonstrate that Penn’s capabilities and costs are reasonably comparable to other potential study sites. If Penn (in its sole discretion) is willing and able to conduct a Clinical Study for a Licensed Product developed under the Research Program, the Parties will negotiate a separate clinical trial agreement and a separate clinical trial budget prior to initiation of such Clinical Study. For clarity, any Clinical Study funding by Licensee shall be separate and in addition to the Research Support Amount.

Where such circumstances exist, Penn agrees to negotiate in good faith with Licensee, upon Licensee’s written request and provided such request is made at least [*] prior to the Achievement Date for a Diligence Event, an extension of the Achievement Date for a Diligence Event for such Licensed Product as reasonably requested by Licensee. If the Parties have not agreed on a requested extension within [*] of such request, [*].

To the extent Licensee has achieved any Diligence Event by the corresponding Achievement Date in relation to a given Licensed Product for an Indication, Licensee will be deemed to have also met its diligence obligations under Section 5.6 with respect to such Licensed Product and its associated Indication(s) through the corresponding Achievement Date.

5.9

Progress Reports.

5.9.1

After performance of the Research Plan by Penn but prior to the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in the respective Indication, Licensee on [*], but in no event later than [*], shall submit to Penn a progress report (each, a “Progress Report”) covering Licensee’s (and any Affiliates’ and Sublicensees’) activities related to the development of all Licensed Products in each Indication and the obtaining of Regulatory Approvals necessary for commercialization of Licensed Products.

6.1

Patent Filing Prosecution and Maintenance.

6.1.1

Penn Patent Rights, Discovery Patent Rights and DRG Patent Rights will be held in the name of Penn and obtained with counsel selected by Penn and reasonably acceptable to Licensee (“Patent Counsel”). Penn shall control all actions and decisions with respect to the filing, prosecution and maintenance of Penn Patent Rights, Discovery Patent Rights and DRG Patent Rights. Penn will provide Licensee with advance copies of filings of the Penn Patent Rights, Discovery Patent Rights and will consider in good faith reasonable comments and suggestions by Licensee, and [*] (collectively, the “Product Specific

36


Patent Rights”), Penn will incorporate any reasonable comments or suggestions by Licensee with respect to same. Penn will instruct Patent Counsel to copy Licensee on all correspondence related to Penn Patent Rights A and Penn Patent Rights B (including copies of each patent application, office action, response to office action, request for terminal disclaimer, and request for reissue or reexamination of any patent or patent application) and to interact with Licensee with respect to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of Penn Patent Rights A and Penn Patent Rights B.  Penn has the right to take action to preserve rights and minimize cost [*], and will use reasonable efforts to not allow any Penn Patent Rights and DRG Patent Rights for which Licensee is licensed and is underwriting the costs to lapse or become abandoned without Licensee’s written authorization under this Agreement, [*], provided that, Penn shall have no requirement to file, prosecute, or maintain Penn Patent Rights, Discovery Patent Rights or DRG Patent Rights if Licensee is not current with the Patent Cost obligations as set forth in this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, “maintenance” of the Penn Patent Rights, Discovery Patent Rights and DRG Patent Rights includes [*], provided Penn’s participation in such proceedings is undertaken in good-faith consultation with Licensee. For further clarity, [*] will be handled pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.3.

6.1.2

Licensee has the right to request a country filing via a written request to Penn [*] prior to the deadline set by the patent office in the territory in which filing is to take place (“Prosecution Request”), and Penn shall in connection with Section 6.1.1 provide written notice to Licensee of filing, prosecution and maintenance with respect to the Penn Patent Rights. If Penn files a patent application, prosecutes or maintains any Penn Patent Rights in any country, Licensee shall, in connection with Section 6.2, be responsible for its pro rata share of such filing, prosecution or maintenance of the Penn Patent Right, unless Licensee provides written notice to Penn of its election to abandon such Penn Patent Right. Upon written notice to Penn of Licensee’s election to abandon any such Penn Patent Right in any such country, such Patent Rights for such country will not be part of Penn Patent Rights and therefore not subject to this Agreement, including the License, and Licensee will have no further rights or license to them in such country.

6.1.3

In the event that DRG Technology [*], then Penn may file and prosecute a Patent Right that covers [*]; provided, however, that if Penn files a [*].

Subject to Section 6.2.3, within [*] of the Restatement Date, Licensee will reimburse Penn for all out-of-pocket costs for the filing, prosecution and maintenance of Penn Patent Rights, Discovery Patent Rights and DRG Patent Rights, including all accrued attorney fees, expenses, official and filing fees (“Patent Costs”) for Discovery Patent Rights and DRG Patent Rights, incurred prior to the Restatement Date that have not otherwise been reimbursed by other licensees on a pro rata basis (“Historic Patent Costs”). The amount of Historic Patent Costs is approximately [*].  For clarity, [*].

6.2.2

Licensee will bear all Patent Costs incurred during the Term (“Ongoing Patent Costs”), on a pro rata basis (as described below) where applicable.  For Penn Patent Rights, Discovery Patent Rights and DRG Patent Rights licensed or optioned to more than one licensee, Licensee shall be responsible for payment to Penn of a pro rata share of such Ongoing Patent Costs based on the number of licensees for such Penn Patent Rights, Discovery Patent Rights and DRG Patent Rights (which Penn will disclose to Licensee

37


upon Licensee’s exercise of an applicable option, and whenever such number changes, and at any other time upon Licensee’s reasonable written request).

6.2.3

At any time, at Penn’s request, Licensee shall pay its relevant share in advance the Patent Counsel’s estimated costs for undertaking material patent actions before Penn authorizes the Patent Counsel to proceed (“Advance Payment”). Notwithstanding whether Licensee makes an Advance Payment for any patent action, Licensee shall bear all Patent Costs incurred during the Term (on a pro rata basis as applicable) and shall pay such amounts within [*] of receipt of invoice for such patent actions. For clarity, [*].

6.2.4

In the event that Licensee provides Penn at least [*] advance written notice to elect not to pay Historic Patent Costs or Ongoing Patent Costs for any Penn Patent Right, Discovery Patent Right or DRG Patent Right in any country, upon the effective date of such notice, such patent or patent application shall no longer be part of the License granted to Licensee in Section 3.1 or the Penn Patent Rights for purposes of this Agreement (including the provisions of this Section 6.2) and Licensee shall not be entitled to receive a license to such Penn Patent Right, Discovery Patent Right or DRG Patent Right in such country in the future.  In addition, for such rejected Penn Patent Right or Discovery Patent Right, the Licensing Exclusivity Period, Manufacturing Patent Rights option, or ability to add such rejected Penn Patent Right or Discovery Patent Right to the license grant as set forth in Section 2.10.3 shall terminate immediately.

6.2.5

Licensee shall also have the right, on a DRG Patent Right-by-DRG Patent Right and country-by-country basis, to (i) elect not to fund at the time of disclosure, or (ii) elect not to continue to fund, in each case (i) and (ii), its pro rata share (as determined pursuant to Section 6.2.2 above) of the Patent Costs with respect to any DRG Patent Right(s) in a particular country, which election may be made by Licensee upon [*] prior written notice to Penn (“DRG Election Notice”). If Licensee delivers a DRG Election Notice to Penn, following the expiration of such [*] period, Licensee shall have no further obligation to pay Ongoing Patent Costs with respect to any DRG Patent Right identified in such DRG Election Notice in any country identified in such DRG Election Notice and any such Patent Right in any such country shall thereafter be excluded from the DRG Patent Rights.

6.3

Infringement.

6.3.1

If either Party believes that an infringement by a Third Party with respect to any Penn Patent Right or DRG Patent Right is occurring or may potentially occur, the knowledgeable Party will provide the other Party with (a) written notice of such infringement or potential infringement and (b) evidence of such infringement or potential infringement (the “Infringement Notice”). Licensee shall [*] without first obtaining the written consent of Penn, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. If Licensee [*], then Licensee’s right to initiate a suit under Section 6.3.2 below will terminate immediately without the obligation of Penn to provide notice to Licensee. Both Penn and Licensee will use their diligent efforts to cooperate with each other to terminate such infringement without litigation.

6.3.2

If infringing activity [*] has not been abated within [*] following the date the Infringement Notice for such activity was provided, then (except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3.4) during [*], the “Exclusive Penn Patent Rights”), and the infringement is [*], Licensee may institute suit for patent infringement of an [*] against the infringer after providing Penn (a) [*]and (b) [*]. For clarity, [*]. Penn may voluntarily join such suit at Licensee’s

reasonable expense, [*]. If in a Claim initiated by Licensee, Penn is involuntarily joined other than by Licensee, then Licensee [*]. Licensee shall be free to enter into a settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary disposition, provided that any settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary disposition that (i) [*] or (ii) [*]. Licensee’s request for such approval shall include complete copies of final settlement documents, a detailed summary of such settlement, and any other information material to such settlement. Penn shall provide Licensee notice of its approval or denial within [*] of any request for such approval by Licensee, provided that (x) [*] and (y) [*].

Notwithstanding Sections 6.3.2 and 6.3.3, (a) in the event that any Penn Patent Rights are infringed by a Third Party [*] or (b) if any of the infringed Penn Patent Rights are [*], the Parties shall discuss, and will mutually agree, in writing, as to how to handle such infringement by such Third Party.

For any portion of the recovery or settlement paid as enhanced damages for [*]:

(c)

for any suit that is initiated by Licensee or Penn and the other Party joins voluntarily ([*]) or involuntarily, Penn shall receive [*] and Licensee shall receive the remainder; and

For any portion of the recovery or settlement received in connection with any suit that is initiated by Penn and in which Licensee was not a party in the litigation, any recovery in excess of litigation costs will belong to Penn.

6.3.6

Each Party will reasonably cooperate and assist with the other in litigation proceedings instituted hereunder but at the expense of the Party who initiated the suit (unless such suit is being jointly prosecuted by the Parties). For clarity, [*]. If Penn is subjected to Third

10.3

Termination For Cause.

10.3.1

In the event Licensee fails to achieve any Diligence Event by the corresponding Achievement Date (as the same may be extended under this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.8) and does not cure such breach within [*] written notice (or a longer period of up to [*] if the Parties mutually agree that such longer period is necessary and acceptable) to the reasonable satisfaction of Penn, Penn has the right and option to terminate this Agreement on an Indication-by-Indication basis for the Indication in which diligence has not been achieved, upon written notice, with immediate effect.

10.3.2

In addition to all other remedies available to it, Penn may terminate this Agreement (a) upon at least [*] written notice, upon a failure of Licensee to pay the Research Support Amount for the Research Program when due pursuant to Section 2.3 or Discovery Funding when due, unless Licensee cures such failure within such notice period, (b) upon [*] written notice if Licensee fails to comply with any Laws that apply to its activities or obligations under this Agreement and that can be remedied and Licensee fails to remedy such lack of compliance within such [*] period, (c) upon written notice, with immediate effect, if Licensee grants a security interest in any Penn Patent Right, Discovery Patent Right or DRG Patent Right, (d) upon written notice, with immediate effect, if Licensee fails to achieve the Initial Financing, or (e) upon written notice, with immediate effect, if Licensee breaches Section 8.4.1.

10.3.3

If either Party materially breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, the non-breaching Party may give to the breaching Party a written notice specifying the nature of the default, requiring it to cure such breach, and stating its intention to terminate this Agreement. If such breach is not cured within [*] of such notice (for non-payment), and [*] of such notice for all other material breaches, such termination shall become effective upon a notice of termination by the terminating Party thereafter; provided, however, [*]. In addition, [*].

10.3.4

46


dismissed within [*] after the filing thereof, or if such Party is a party to any dissolution or liquidation, or if such Party makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors of all or substantially all its assets.

10.4

Effects of Termination.

10.4.1

Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, the following provisions shall survive: Sections [*].  Furthermore, where this Agreement is terminated in relation to fewer than all of the Indications or Licensed Products (as provided above), it will remain in effect as to the non-terminated Indication(s) or non-terminated Licensed Product(s).

10.4.2

Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation or liability that, at the time of termination, has already accrued hereunder, or which is attributable to a period prior to the effective date of such termination. Termination of this Agreement shall not preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at Law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement nor prejudice either Party’s right to obtain performance of any obligation.

10.4.3

If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, all outstanding Sublicenses (including all Sublicense Documents for each Sublicense) not in default will be assigned by Licensee to Penn, and such assignment will be accepted by Penn provided that such Sublicensee is required to comply with all obligations, including financial obligations, set forth in this Agreement of the Licensee. Each assigned Sublicense will remain in full force and effect with Penn as the licensor or sublicensor instead of Licensee, but the duties and obligations of Penn under the assigned Sublicenses will not be greater than the duties of Penn under this Agreement, and the rights of Penn under the assigned Sublicenses will not be less than the rights of Penn under this Agreement, including all financial consideration and other rights of Penn. Penn may, at its reasonable discretion, amend such outstanding Sublicenses to contain the terms and conditions found in this Agreement. If Penn requests that Licensee assign to Penn all Regulatory Approvals for the Licensed Product upon termination of this ]Agreement by Licensee under Section 10.2 or by Penn under Section 10.3, then Licensee agrees to negotiate the terms of such an assignment in good faith (it being understood that the foregoing will not preclude Licensee from requiring Penn to pay commercially reasonable consideration for such assignment). [*].

10.4.4

Within [*] of termination of this Agreement or any Indication (other than termination by Licensee pursuant to Section 10.3.3), Licensee shall pay Penn all costs through the effective termination date per the budget of the Research Plan as well as all commitments related to the performance of the Research Plan and Discovery Program (i.e., all costs or non-cancellable commitments incurred prior to the receipt, or issuance, by Penn of the notice of termination, and the cost of each employee, student and faculty member to the extent supported under the Research Plan or Discovery Program until the earlier of (a) [*] of termination of this Agreement and (b) reassignment of such employee, student and faculty member supported under the Research Plan or Discovery Program; and subject to Penn’s written notification to Licensee and Licensee’s acknowledgement of all costs and non-cancellable commitments as they arise) incurred by Penn under this Agreement, or for the terminated Indication, as applicable.

10.4.5

Upon termination of this Agreement, the License immediately terminates and Licensee, its Affiliates and Sublicensees will promptly cease selling the Licensed Product(s) subject to such termination. Each Party will return (or destroy, as directed by the other Party) all data,

47


files, records and other materials containing or comprising the other Party’s Confidential Information with respect to this Agreement, except to the extent such Confidential Information is necessary or useful to conduct activities in connection with surviving portions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties will be permitted to retain one copy of such data, files, records, and other materials for archival and legal compliance purposes.

10.4.6

Upon termination of this Agreement or any Licensed Product for an Indication in the Field of Use by Licensee under Section 10.2 or by Penn under Section 10.3 or 10.4, Licensee agrees [*].
