neither Party shall be liable to the other Party for any indirect, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damage or loss of business or loss of profits suffered by such other Party resulting from the use or other exploitation of the Licensed Intellectual Property, including without limitation the sale of any Licensed Product(s) or Licensed Services. Furthermore, UHN makes no representation that the Licensed Intellectual Property is free from defect.
ARTICLE 5 – FURTHER COVENANTS AND OBLIGATIONS.
5.1
Prothena Covenants. Prothena covenants and agrees for the benefit of UHN that it shall:
(a)
exercise the License granted herein or otherwise exploit the Licensed Intellectual Property in accordance this Agreement, and with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, regulations, guidelines and rules, including, all applicable statutes and regulations and applicable guidelines set forth by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), National Institutes of Health (NIH) or other governmental agencies where applicable;
(b)
cause to be applied to Licensed Products where appropriate any markings required by applicable government statutes and laws to maintain continued validity and enforcement of UHN Background IP and Foreground IP; and
(c)
use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize Licensed Product(s).
ARTICLE 6 – MANAGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
6.1
IP Rights Ownership. As between the Parties, UHN shall retain ownership of the UHN Background IP and UHN and Prothena shall retain joint ownership of the Foreground IP. If either UHN or Prothena desires to file a continuation-in-part patent application that includes claims that are entitled to claim the benefit of a priority date of any patent or application in the UHN Background IP or the Foreground IP, the Parties will negotiate in good faith the strategy for filing and ownership of any such patent application(s) with a view to maximizing the patent coverage for the subject inventions. The Parties agree to revisit an ownership decision made pursuant to the prior sentence if, during the course of patent prosecution, a Party reasonably believes that different ownership of any such patent application would be beneficial for obtaining a granted patents (e.g., in order to overcome an obviousness rejection

over another patent or patent application owned by a Party). The Parties will document their agreement regarding any such continuation-in-part patent application by way of amendment to this Agreement.
6.2
Patent Prosecution. Prothena and UHN will assume joint responsibility to control the preparing, filing, prosecuting, obtaining and maintaining the UHN Background IP, at Prothena’s sole cost and expense and using patent counsel acceptable to UHN (acting reasonably) during the Term. With input from UHN, Prothena shall continue to have the responsibility to control the preparing, filing, prosecuting, obtaining and maintaining the Foreground IP, at Prothena’s sole cost and expense and using patent counsel acceptable to UHN (acting reasonably) during the Term. For purposes of the UHN Background IP, UHN will provide Prothena with (a) a copy of any proposed document pertaining to the prosecution for review and comment reasonably in advance of filing, and (b) will keep Prothena informed in a timely manner of the status of such filing, prosecution and maintenance, including (i) by providing Prothena in a timely manner with copies of all material communications received from or filed in patent office(s) with respect to such UHN Background IP, and (ii) by providing to Prothena, a reasonable time prior to taking or failing to take any action that would materially affect the scope or validity of any such filing, prior written notice of such proposed action or inaction so that Prothena has a reasonable opportunity to review and comment. For purposes of the Foreground IP, Prothena (a) will provide UHN with a copy of any proposed patent application constituting Foreground IP for review and comment reasonably in advance of filing, and (b) will keep UHN informed in a timely manner of the status of such filing, prosecution and maintenance, including (i) by providing UHN in a timely manner with copies of all material communications received from or filed in patent office(s) with respect to such filing, and (ii) by providing to UHN, a reasonable time prior to taking or failing to take any action that would materially affect the scope or validity of any such filing, prior written notice of such proposed action or inaction so that UHN have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment. In the event that Prothena decides to (x) forego or cease prosecution, or (y) cease maintenance, of any Patent or Patent Application within the UHN Background IP or Foreground IP in any jurisdiction, UHN may (in its sole discretion and expense, except to the extent such abandonment would reasonably benefit the prosecution or maintenance of the remaining Patents and Patent Applications within the UHN Background IP or Foreground IP) continue such prosecution or maintenance and Prothena shall have no further obligations in respect of such Patent or Patent Application in such jurisdiction, and such Patent or Patent Application will no longer be licensed to Prothena as part of the Licensed Intellectual Property.
6.3
Cooperation and Notice. As provided for in this Article 6, a Party shall cooperate with the other Party in the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of any Patents or Patent Applications within the UHN Background IP and Foreground IP, including executing all

16
[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


papers and instruments required in order to enable the Party to apply for, to prosecute and to maintain applications and registrations in any country.
6.4
Infringement. Each Party will immediately notify the other Party upon becoming aware of any infringement or threatened infringement of the Licensed Intellectual Property by a Third Party (“Infringement Notice”). The Parties shall co-operate fully in the abatement of such infringement without litigation. If the infringing activity of potential commercial significance by the infringer has not been abated within [***] days following the date of the Infringement Notice, Prothena and/or its Sublicensee(s) shall have the first right to institute suit for patent infringement against the infringer. UHN may voluntarily join such suit, but may not thereafter commence suit against the infringer for the acts of infringement that are the subject of Prothena’s or its Sublicensee(s)’ suit or any judgment rendered in that suit. If deemed a necessary party by a court of competent jurisdiction, UHN shall join the suit at [***]. Prothena and/or its Sublicensee(s) shall be responsible for all reasonable costs, including (a) legal fees and disbursements incurred by Prothena, (b) reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred by UHN at the request of Prothena, and (c) awards by the Court against UHN or Prothena pertaining to the enforcement by Prothena of any Licensed Intellectual Property. If UHN desires to enforce any Licensed Intellectual Property after Prothena has declined in writing to do so, then UHN may do so at its sole cost and expense and shall keep Prothena reasonably apprised of the progress of any such enforcement activities. Any monies, including compensatory and other non-compensatory damages or recovery, actually received by a Party from a Third Party as a result of any action or settlement shall first go to reimburse Prothena, and/or its Sublicensee(s) and UHN for all costs incurred in the action. If after such reimbursement any funds shall remain from such damages or other sums recovered, such funds [***]; provided, however, that (a) if [***], (b) if [***], and (c) if [***].
In the event that any Third Party brings or asserts a claim against Prothena, Prothena Affiliate, Sublicensee or UHN that the manufacture, use, sale, distribution, marketing or importation of the Licensed Intellectual Property, Licensed Product or Licensed Services infringes rights in Patents or Patent Applications owned or otherwise controlled by such Third Party (an “Infringement Suit”), the following shall apply:
(a)
the Party receiving a claim, or learning of the threat of such a claim, shall give the other Party prompt written notice detailing as many facts as possible concerning the claim;
(b)
Prothena, in its sole discretion, shall have the first right, but not an obligation, to defend against the Infringement Suit;
(c)
if Prothena does not take steps to defend against the Infringement Suit within [***] days after the date that notice thereof was received from or delivered to UHN, and

17
[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


the Infringement Suit relates to a Licensed Product or Licensed Services, UHN may take such legally permissible action as it deems necessary or appropriate to defend against the Infringement Suit, but shall not be obligated to do so;
(d)
the Party defending against the Infringement Suit (in this Subsection, the “Litigating Party”) shall have the right to control such litigation and shall bear all legal expenses (including court costs and legal fees), but it shall have no right to settle any dispute in any manner which would abridge the rights of the other Party under this Agreement. By way of example and not by way of limitation, neither Party may stipulate or admit to the invalidity or unenforceability of any Licensed Intellectual Property without the other Party’s prior written consent. Before any action is taken by either Party which could abridge the rights of the other Party hereunder, the Parties agree, in good faith, to consult with each other with a goal of adopting a mutually satisfactory position;
(e)
the Litigating Party shall keep the other Party fully informed of the actions and positions taken or proposed to be taken by the Litigating Party and the actions and positions taken by all other parties to such litigation; and
(f)
in the event that Prothena defends against the Infringement Suit, UHN may elect to participate formally in the Infringement Suit to the extent that the court may permit, provided that any additional expenses generated by UHN’s formal participation shall be paid by UHN.
Where either Prothena or UHN wishes to act alone pursuant to this Section 6.4, but formalities require participation of the other Party, then the other Party shall join in the proceeding to the extent necessary for formalities. Each of Prothena and UHN will cooperate with the other Party in making available all necessary documents and witnesses for any legal proceedings, without charging any fees to the other Party, but the other Party shall reimburse reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses.
6.5
No Actions. The Parties agree to not knowingly take any action which would jeopardize the obtaining or maintaining of the Licensed Intellectual Property, except in compliance with Sections 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Prothena from challenging the validity of UHN Background IP in a court of law; provided, however, that upon the filing of a claim challenging the validity of a Patent within UHN Background IP, UHN shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice.
