3.3.1

Description of Categories:

3.3.1.1

To meet the requirements of the term “Novel Vector” (as used in Categories la and lb(ii)), there must be neither any dominating Third Party patent, including any Penn-owned patent rights other than those licensed under this Agreement with respect to the vector per se (i.e., no Third Party patent or Penn-owned patent rights beyond those licensed under this Agreement is required in order to make, have made, use, import, offer for sale or sell the vector for the higher royalty level to apply). Licenses from Penn or GSK to ReGenX for genes used, promoters used other than those which are part of the vector as described in Penn Patent Rights and the like in the vector will not affect the royalty pursuant to this provision. If any dominating Third Party patent or any Penn-owned patent other than those licensed under this Agreement issues at any time during the term of this Agreement with respect to a vector licensed hereunder, then the royalty level will immediately drop to the “Refinement” level (Category lb above) for any Licensed Product containing such vector.

3.3.1.2

As used in Category 2 of the Table in Section 3.3, a “therapeutic use” shall mean use in the prevention and/or treatment of a disease in a patient. For the

avoidance of doubt, ReGenX shall have no obligation under Section 3.3 or under any other provision of this Agreement to pay any royalties on any “reach-through” basis for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, on the basis of the use by ReGenX of any subject matter recited in a Valid Claim in the development, selection or advancement of any Licensed Product, except only as may be expressly provided under Category lb(ii) in Section 3.3 above.

3.3.1.3

In the event that any Licensed Product does not fall into any of the Categories 1-3 above, ReGenX shall pay to GSK a royalty of **** based upon Net Sales of such Licensed Product, subject always to the reductions in royalty rates set forth in Sections 3.3.4 and 3.3.5, and subject always to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.3.

3.3.6

Termination of Obligation to Pay Royalty: Subject to Section 3.3.4, ReGenX’s obligation hereunder for payment of a royalty on the Net Sales of Licensed Products in a given country will end on a country by country basis when there is no Valid Claim in that country claiming the Licensed Product.

3.4 Sublicense Fees. ReGenX shall pay GSK a percentage of any sublicense fees (****) received by ReGenX for the Penn Patent Rights from any sublicensee; ****. The applicable percentage due to GSK for each sublicense shall be:

If ReGenX elects not to pay for the filing, prosecution or maintenance of any patent or patent application within the Penn Patent Rights, ReGenX shall provide GSK with reasonable advance notice in order to enable GSK to assume responsibility for the filing, prosecution or maintenance of any such patent or patent application, and then such patent or patent application shall no longer be a part of the Penn Patent Rights licensed hereunder.

7.2 Infringement Actions Against Third Parties.

7.2.1

7.2.2

7.2.3

7.2.4

If ReGenX elects to pursue an infringer under Section 7.2.2 above and ReGenX fails to prosecute such infringement, then GSK may prosecute such infringement at its own expense. In such event, financial recoveries will be entirely retained by GSK.

7.2.5

In any action to enforce any of the Penn Patent Rights, either Party, at the request and expense of the other Party shall cooperate to the fullest extent reasonably possible, including in the event that if either Party is unable to initiate or prosecute such action solely in its own name, the other Party shall join such action voluntarily and shall execute all documents necessary to initiate litigation to prosecute and maintain such action.

7.3 Defense of Infringement Claims.

7.3.1

ReGenX shall cause each of its Affiliates and sublicensees to notify ReGenX promptly in the event such entity becomes aware that its practice of the Penn Patent Rights is the subject of a claim of patent infringements by another. ReGenX shall have the right to control the defense of any such suit brought against ReGenX or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees and shall do so at its own expense.
