Licensee’s failure to provide Harvard with both an Explanation and Plan by the Initial Deadline shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and Harvard shall have the right to terminate this Agreement forthwith.

 

3.4.3        If Licensee so notifies Harvard and provides Harvard with an Explanation and Plan by the Initial Deadline, both of which are acceptable to Harvard in its reasonable discretion, then if Harvard agrees in writing or fails to provide written notice of its objection Licensee within [**] of the Initial Deadline, then Exhibit 1.11 will be amended automatically to incorporate the extended deadline and/or amended milestone set forth in the Plan.

 

3.4.4        If Licensee so notifies Harvard and provides Harvard with an Explanation and Plan, but the Explanation is not acceptable to Harvard in its reasonable discretion (e.g., Licensee asserts development preference for a non-Licensed Product) then Harvard will provide written notice of its objection to Licensee explaining why the Explanation is not acceptable within [**] of the Initial Deadline, and Licensee will have an additional [**] from receipt of Harvard’s written notice or until the original deadline of the relevant Development Milestone, whichever is later (the “Second Deadline”), to meet such milestone or to persuade Harvard that the Explanation is reasonable. Licensee’s failure to meet such milestone or to persuade Harvard that the Explanation is reasonable by the Second Deadline shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and Harvard shall have the right to terminate this Agreement forthwith.

 

 

3.4.5        If Licensee so notifies Harvard and provides Harvard with an Explanation and Plan, but the Plan is not acceptable to Harvard in its reasonable discretion, then Harvard will provide written notice of its objection to Licensee explaining why the Plan is not acceptable and providing Licensee with suggestions for an acceptable Plan within [**] of the Initial Deadline. Licensee will then have one opportunity to provide Harvard with a reasonably acceptable Plan (or to persuade Harvard that its Plan is reasonable) within [**] after receipt of Harvard’s written notice and suggestions, during which time Harvard agrees to work in good faith with Licensee in its effort to develop a reasonably acceptable Plan. If, within such [**], Licensee provides Harvard with a reasonably acceptable Plan, then Exhibit 1.11 will be amended automatically to incorporate the extended deadline and/or amended milestone set forth in the Plan. If, within such [**], Licensee fails to provide a reasonably acceptable Plan, then Licensee will have an additional [**] or until the original deadline of the relevant Development Milestone, whichever is later (the “Third Deadline”), to meet such milestone. Licensee’s failure to provide such acceptable Plan or meet such milestone by the Third Deadline shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and Harvard shall have the right to terminate this Agreement forthwith.

 

3.4.6        For clarity, if Licensee fails to achieve a Development Milestone and did not avail itself of the procedure set forth in this Section 3.4, such failure shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and Harvard shall have the right to terminate this Agreement forthwith.

 

3.5              Regulatory Filings. Licensee shall have the exclusive right to prepare and present all regulatory filings necessary or appropriate in any country and to obtain and maintain any regulatory approval (including Marketing Clearances) required to market Licensed Products in any such country. Licensee shall solely own all right, title and interest in and to all such regulatory approvals and filings. In the event of any undisputed termination of this Agreement (other than termination by Licensee pursuant to Section 10.2.2.1 for the uncured material breach of Harvard), upon receipt of a written request from Harvard, (a) Licensee shall promptly provide Harvard with the right to reference, cross-reference, review, have access to, incorporate and use all documents and other materials (other than Clinical Data) filed by or on behalf of Licensee and its Affiliates with any Regulatory Authority in furtherance of applications for regulatory approval in the relevant country with respect to Licensed Products (“Regulatory Documents”); (b) Harvard shall be entitled to freely use solely for research, educational and scholarly purposes any Regulatory Documents delivered by Licensee to Harvard pursuant to this Section 3.5; and (c) Harvard may grant third Persons the royalty-bearing right to use any Regulatory Documents (as well as, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any Clinical Data that has been depersonalized to the reasonable satisfaction of Licensee), provided that the Parties mutually agree on a reasonable allocation between Harvard and Licensee of all royalties paid by such third Persons as a result of the use of such Regulatory Documents.

If the outcome of such Challenge Proceeding is a determination against the Challenging Party, (a) the royalty rate specified in Section 4.3 with respect to Net Sales of Licensed Products that are covered by the Licensed Patent Rights that are the subject of such Challenge Proceeding shall remain at such doubled rate and (b) Licensee shall reimburse Harvard for all expenses incurred by Harvard (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Challenge Proceeding. If the outcome of such Challenge Proceeding is a determination in favor of the Challenging Party, Harvard shall reimburse Licensee [**] of all royalties paid by Licensee to Harvard during the pendency of such Challenge Proceeding and the royalty rate specified in Section 4.3 with respect to Net Sales of Licensed Products that are covered by the Licensed Patent Rights that are the subject of such Challenge Proceeding shall revert to the original (i.e., not doubled) rate.

5.3              Records.

 

5.3.1        Licensee Records. Licensee shall maintain, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to maintain, complete and accurate records of Licensed Products that are made, used, sold, leased or transferred under this Agreement, any amounts payable to Harvard in relation to such Licensed Products, and all Non-Royalty Sublicense Income received by Licensee and its Affiliates, which records shall contain sufficient information to permit Harvard to confirm the accuracy of any reports or notifications delivered to Harvard under Section 5.1. Licensee, its Affiliates and/or its Sublicensees, as applicable, shall retain such records relating to a given Calendar Quarter for at least [**] after the conclusion of that Calendar Quarter, during which time Harvard will have the right, at its expense, to cause an independent, certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Licensee to inspect such records during normal business hours for the purposes of verifying the accuracy of any reports and payments delivered under this Agreement and Licensee’s compliance with the terms hereof. Such accountant shall not disclose to Harvard any information other than information necessary to confirm the accuracy of reports and payments delivered under this Agreement. The Parties shall reconcile any underpayment or overpayment within [**] after the accountant delivers the results of the audit. If any audit performed under this Section 5.3 reveals an underpayment in excess of [**] percent ([**]%) in any calendar year, Licensee shall reimburse Harvard for all amounts incurred in connection with such audit.

If any audit performed under this Section 5.3.2 reveals an overpayment by Licensee in excess of [**] percent ([**]%) in any calendar year, Harvard shall reimburse Licensee for all amounts incurred in connection with such audit. Licensee may exercise its rights under this Section 5.3.2 [**] every year and only with at least [**] prior written notice to Harvard.

 

5.4              Late Payments. Any payments by Licensee that are not paid on or before the date such payments are due under this Agreement will bear interest at the lower of (a) [**] percent ([**]%) per month and (b) the maximum rate allowed by law.

6.

Patent Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance.

 

6.1              Control.

 

(a)               Control by Harvard. Harvard will be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution, protection, defense and maintenance of all Licensed Patent Rights, using independent patent counsel reasonably acceptable to Licensee. Harvard will: (i) instruct such patent counsel to furnish the Licensee with copies of all correspondence relating to the Licensed Patent Rights from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and any other patent office, as well as copies of all proposed responses to such correspondence in time for Licensee to review and comment on such response; (ii) give Licensee an opportunity to review the text of each patent application before filing; (iii) consult with Licensee with respect thereto; (iv) supply Licensee with a copy of the application as filed, together with notice of its filing date and serial number; and (v) keep Licensee advised of the status of actual and prospective patent filings. Harvard shall give Licensee the opportunity to provide comments on and make requests of Harvard concerning the preparation, filing, prosecution, protection, defense and maintenance of the Licensed Patent Rights, and shall seriously consider such comments and requests; however, final decision-making authority shall vest in Harvard (except where Licensee is responsible pursuant to Section 6.1(b)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Licensee requests that Harvard prepare, file and/or prosecute (or continue to prepare, file and/or prosecute) an application for any Licensed Patent Rights, then Harvard shall prepare, file and prosecute such application (or continue to prepare, file and/or prosecute) such application subject to Company’s reimbursement to Harvard for all documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Harvard in connection therewith in accordance with Article 6 (but Section 11.17), provided, however, that Harvard expressly reserves the right to decline Licensee’s request to file, prosecute, maintain or defend any of the Licensed Patent Rights in any Developing Country(ies) unless (A) Licensee demonstrates to Harvard’s reasonable satisfaction that the filing, prosecution, maintenance or defense of such Licensed Patent Rights in such Developing Country(ies) would materially increase the locally-affordable availability of Licensed Products or equivalents thereof (e.g., generic products) in those and/or other Developing Country(ies) and (B) the provisions of Section 7 notwithstanding, Licensee agrees that Harvard shall hold final decision-making authority, on a case-by-case basis, as to whether Licensee will be permitted to enforce such Licensed Patent Rights in such Developing Country(ies).

 

(b)               So long as Licensee is performing its obligation to reimburse Harvard for all documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Harvard in connection with such Licensed Patent Rights in accordance with Article 6 (but subject to Section 11.17), Harvard will not abandon, withdraw, surrender or otherwise seek to no longer be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution, protection, defense and maintenance of any Licensed Patent Rights.

 

6.2              Expenses. Subject to Sections 6.3 and 11.20, below, Licensee shall reimburse Harvard for all documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Harvard pursuant to this Article 6 within [**] after the date of each valid and accurate invoice from Harvard for such expenses. In addition, within [**] after the Effective Date and subject to Section 11.17, Licensee shall reimburse Harvard for all documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Harvard prior to the Effective Date with respect to the preparation, filing, prosecution, protection, and maintenance of the Harvard Background Patents, the billed amount of which is, as of the Effective Date, equal to [**] United States Dollars (US $[**]). License shall pay such amount as follows: (a) [**] United States Dollars (US $[**]) to be paid within [**] of the Effective Date and (b) the remaining balance to be paid on or before [**].

 

6.3              Abandonment. If Licensee decides that it does not wish to pay for the preparation, filing, prosecution, protection, maintenance or defense of any Licensed Patent Rights (other than Joint Patent Rights) in a particular country (“Abandoned Patent Rights”), Licensee shall provide Harvard with prompt written notice of such election. Upon receipt of such notice by Harvard, Licensee shall be released from its obligation to reimburse Harvard for the expenses incurred thereafter as to such Abandoned Patent Rights; provided, however, that expenses authorized prior to the receipt by Harvard of such notice shall be deemed incurred prior to the notice. In the event of Licensee’s abandonment of any Licensed Patent Rights, any license granted by Harvard to Licensee hereunder with respect to such Abandoned Patent Rights will terminate, and Licensee will have no rights whatsoever to exploit such Abandoned Patent Rights. Harvard will then be free, without further notice or obligation to Licensee, to grant rights in and to such Abandoned Patent Rights to third parties.

 

 

6.4              Small Entity Designation. If Licensee, its Affiliates, any Sublicensee and/or any holder of an option to obtain a Sublicense does not qualify, or at any point during the Term ceases to qualify, as an entity entitled to pay lesser fees as provided by the USPTO (i.e., a “small entity”) or the patent office of any other country, Licensee shall so notify Harvard immediately, in order to enable Harvard to comply with regulations regarding payment of fees with respect to Licensed Patent Rights.

 

6.5              Marking. Licensee shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to, mark all Licensed Products sold or otherwise disposed of in such a manner as to conform with the patent laws and practice of the country to which such products are shipped or in which such products are sold for purposes of ensuring maximum enforceability of Licensed Patent Rights in such country.

 

7.

Enforcement of Patent Rights.

 

7.1              Notice. In the event either party becomes aware of any possible or actual infringement of any Licensed Patent Rights with respect to Licensed Products in the Field (an “Infringement”), that Party shall promptly notify the other Party and provide it with details regarding such Infringement.

 

7.2              Suit by Licensee. Licensee shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to take action in the prosecution, prevention, or termination of any Infringement. Before Licensee commences an action with respect to any Infringement, Licensee shall consider in good faith the views of Harvard and potential effects on the public interest in making its decision whether to sue, especially with regard to the locally-affordable availability of Licensed Products or equivalents thereof, e.g., generic products, in Developing Countries, provided, however, that Licensee shall not be in breach of this Agreement if Licensee makes a commercially reasonable decision to take or not take action. Should Licensee elect to bring suit against an infringer, Licensee shall keep Harvard reasonably informed of the progress of the action and shall give Harvard a reasonable opportunity in advance to consult with Licensee and offer its views about major decisions affecting the litigation. Licensee shall give careful consideration to those views, but shall have the right to control the action; provided, however, that if Licensee fails to defend in good faith the validity and/or enforceability of the Licensed Patent Rights in the action or, or if Licensee’s license to a Valid Claim in the suit terminates, Harvard may elect to take control of the action pursuant to Section 7.3. Any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Harvard with respect to the prosecution, adjudication and/or settlement of such suit, including any related appeals, shall be paid for entirely by Licensee and Licensee shall hold Harvard free, clear and harmless from and against any and all such expenses. The expenses of such suit or suits that Licensee elects to bring, including any expenses of Harvard incurred in conjunction with the prosecution of such suits or the settlement thereof, shall be paid for entirely by Licensee and Licensee shall hold Harvard free, clear and harmless from and against any and all costs of such litigation, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Licensee shall not compromise or settle such litigation without the prior written consent of Harvard, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event Licensee exercises its right to sue pursuant to this Section 7.2, it shall first reimburse itself out of any sums recovered in such suit or in settlement thereof for all costs and expenses of every kind and character, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, necessarily incurred in the prosecution of any such suit. If, after such reimbursement, any funds shall remain from said recovery, then Harvard shall receive an amount equal to [**] percent ([**]%) of such funds and the remaining [**] percent ([**]%) of such funds shall be retained by Licensee.

 

 

7.3              Suit by Harvard. If Licensee does not take action in the prosecution, prevention, or termination of any Infringement pursuant to Section 7.2 above, and has not commenced negotiations with the infringer for the discontinuance of said Infringement, within [**] after receipt of notice to Licensee by Harvard of the existence of an Infringement, Harvard may elect to do so. Should Harvard elect to bring suit against an infringer and Licensee is joined as party plaintiff in any such suit, Licensee shall have the right to approve the counsel selected by Harvard to represent Harvard and Licensee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Licensee with respect to the prosecution, adjudication and/or settlement of such suit, including any related appeals, shall be paid for entirely by Harvard and Harvard shall hold Licensee free, clear and harmless from and against any and all such expenses. Harvard shall not compromise or settle such litigation without the prior written consent of Licensee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event Harvard exercises its right to sue pursuant to this Section 7.3, it shall first reimburse itself out of any sums recovered in such suit or in settlement thereof for all costs and expenses of every kind and character, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, necessarily incurred in the prosecution of any such suit. If, after such reimbursement, any funds shall remain from said recovery, then Licensee shall receive an amount equal to [**] percent ([**]%) of such funds and the remaining [**] percent ([**]%) of such funds shall be retained by Harvard.

 

7.4              Own Counsel. Each Party shall always have the right to be represented by counsel of its own selection and at its own expense in any suit instituted under this Article 7 by the other Party for Infringement.

 

7.5              Cooperation. Each Party agrees to cooperate fully in any action under this Article 7 that is controlled by the other Party, including joining as a party to the action, provided that the controlling Party reimburses the cooperating Party promptly for any costs and expenses incurred by the cooperating Party in connection with providing such assistance.

 

7.6              Declaratory Judgment. If a declaratory judgment action is brought naming Licensee and/or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees as a defendant and alleging invalidity or unenforceability of any claims within the Licensed Patent Rights, Licensee shall promptly notify Harvard in writing and Harvard may elect, upon written notice to Licensee within [**] after Harvard receives notice of the commencement of such action, to take over the sole defense of the invalidity and/or unenforceability aspect of the action at its own expense.

9.2              Insurance.

 

9.2.1        Beginning at the time any Licensed Product is being commercially distributed or sold (other than for the purpose of obtaining regulatory approvals) by Licensee, or by an Affiliate, Sublicensee or agent of Licensee, Licensee shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain commercial general liability insurance in amounts not less than [**] U.S. Dollars (US $[**]) per incident and [**] U.S. Dollars (US $[**]) annual aggregate and naming the Indemnitees as additional insureds. During clinical trials of any such Licensed Product, Licensee shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain commercial general liability insurance in such equal or lesser amount as Harvard shall require, naming the Indemnitees as additional insureds. Such commercial general liability insurance shall provide: (a) product liability coverage and (b) broad form contractual liability coverage for Licensee’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement.

 

9.2.2        If Licensee elects to self-insure all or part of the limits described above in Section 9.2.1 (including deductibles or retentions that are in excess of [**] (US $[**]) annual aggregate) such self-insurance program must be acceptable to Harvard and CRICO/RMF (Harvard’s insurer) in their sole discretion. The minimum amounts of insurance coverage required shall not be construed to create a limit of Licensee’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Agreement.

 

9.2.3        Licensee shall provide Harvard with written evidence of such insurance upon request of Harvard. Licensee shall provide Harvard with written notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance. If Licensee does not obtain replacement insurance providing comparable coverage within such fifteen (15) day period, Harvard shall have the right to terminate this Agreement effective at the end of such fifteen (15) day period without notice or any additional waiting periods.

 

9.2.4        Licensee shall maintain such commercial general liability insurance beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement during: (a) the period that any Licensed Product is being commercially distributed or sold by Licensee, or an Affiliate, Sublicensee or agent of Licensee; and (b) a reasonable period after the period referred to in (a) above which in no event shall be less than fifteen (15) years.

 

10.

Term and Termination.

 

10.1          Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated as provided in this Article 10, shall continue in full force and effect until the expiration of the last to expire Valid Claim (the “Term”).

 

10.2          Termination.

 

10.2.1    Termination Without Cause. Licensee may terminate this Agreement for any or no reason upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Harvard.

 

10.2.2    Termination for Default.

 

10.2.2.1        In the event that either Party commits a material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and fails to cure that breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice thereof, the other Party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the Party in breach.

 

10.2.2.2        If Licensee defaults in its obligations under Section 9.2 to procure and maintain insurance or, if Licensee has in any event failed to comply with the notice requirements contained therein, then Harvard may terminate this Agreement immediately without notice or additional waiting period.

 

 

10.2.2.3        Harvard shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4.

 

10.2.3    Bankruptcy. Harvard may terminate this Agreement upon notice to Licensee if Licensee becomes insolvent, is adjudged bankrupt, applies for judicial or extra-judicial settlement with its creditors, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, voluntarily files for bankruptcy or has a receiver or trustee (or the like) in bankruptcy appointed by reason of its insolvency, or in the event an involuntary bankruptcy action is filed against Licensee and not dismissed within ninety (90) days, or if Licensee becomes the subject of liquidation or dissolution proceedings or otherwise discontinues business.

 

10.3          Effect of Termination.

 

10.3.1    Termination of Rights. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement by either Party pursuant to any of the provisions of Section 10.2: (a) the rights and licenses granted to Licensee under Article 2 shall terminate, all rights in and to and under the Licensed Patent Rights and Licensed Know-How will revert to Harvard and neither Licensee nor its Affiliates may make any further use or exploitation of the Licensed Patent Rights or Licensed Know-How; and (b) any existing agreements that contain a Sublicense shall terminate to the extent of such Sublicense; provided, however, that, for each Sublicensee, upon termination of the Sublicense agreement with such Sublicensee, if the Sublicensee is not then in breach of its Sublicense agreement with Licensee such that Licensee would have the right to terminate such Sublicense, such Sublicensee shall have the right to seek a license from Harvard. Harvard agrees to negotiate such licenses in good faith under reasonable terms and conditions, which shall not impose any representations, warranties, obligations or liabilities on Harvard that are not included in this Agreement.

 

10.3.2    Accruing Obligations. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of obligations accruing prior to such termination or expiration, including obligations to pay amounts accruing hereunder up to the date of termination or expiration, which shall be paid to Harvard within forty-five (45) days after such termination or expiration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, after the date of termination or expiration (except in the case of termination by Harvard pursuant to Section 10.2), Licensee, its Affiliates and Sublicensees (a) may sell or otherwise dispose of all Licensed Products then in stock and (b) may complete the production of Licensed Products then in the process of production and sell or otherwise dispose of the same, in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including that in the case of both (a) and (b), Licensee shall pay the applicable royalties and payments to Harvard in accordance with Article 4 within thirty (30) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter after the Term during which such sales or other dispositions are made, provide reports and audit rights to Harvard pursuant to Article 5 and maintain insurance in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.2.

 

10.4          Survival. The Parties’ respective rights, obligations and duties under Articles 5, 9, 10 and 11 and Sections 8.2 and 8.3, as well as any rights, obligations and duties which by their nature extend beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement, shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement. In addition, Licensee’s obligations under Section 4.5 with respect to Sublicenses granted prior to expiration or termination of the Agreement shall survive such expiration or termination.

 

 

11.

Miscellaneous.

 

11.1          Preference for United States Industry. During the period of exclusivity of this license in the United States, Licensee shall comply with 37 C.F.R. § 401.14(i) or any successor rule or regulation. Upon Licensee’s request, and at Licensee’s expense, Harvard shall apply to the applicable United States governmental agency for a waiver to such requirements; provided, however, that all reasonable costs incurred by Harvard related to the preparation and application of the waiver shall be paid by Licensee within forty-five (45) days following receipt of Harvard’s valid and accurate invoice for such costs. In the event that Harvard is unable to obtain such waiver, then subject to the Parties mutually agreeing upon reduced royalty rates and other appropriate modifications to this Agreement to address Licensee’s loss of exclusivity, the license granted to Licensee under Section 2.1 shall become non-exclusive.

 

11.2          No Security Interest. Licensee shall not enter into any agreement under which Licensee grants to or otherwise creates in any third party a security interest in this Agreement or any of the rights granted to Licensee herein. Any grant or creation of a security interest purported or attempted to be made in violation of the terms of this Section 11.2 shall be null and void and of no legal effect.

 

11.3          Use of Name. Except as provided below, Licensee shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall not, use or register the name “Harvard” or “Wyss Institute” (alone or as part of another name) or any logos, seals, insignia or other words, names, symbols or other indicia of origin owned by Harvard that, in each case, identify Harvard or the Wyss Institute or any other Harvard school, unit, division or affiliate (collectively, “Harvard Names”) for any purpose as a trademark except with the prior written approval of, and in accordance with restrictions required by, Harvard, provided, however that Company may issue a press release substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit F to the Collaboration Agreement, which press release has been approved in advance by Harvard. This restriction shall not apply to any information required by law to be disclosed to any Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, to satisfy any securities reporting requirements. If, notwithstanding this prohibition, Licensee registers any Harvard Name as a trademark, service mark, domain name, trade name, business or company name or otherwise anywhere in the world, then, in addition to any other remedies Harvard may have, Harvard shall have the right to compel Licensee to assign Licensee rights in such registration to Harvard and Licensee shall take such steps as may be necessary to transfer record ownership of such registration to Harvard, at Licensee cost.

 

11.4          Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the sole agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and except as expressly set forth herein, supersedes all other agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the same.

 

11.5          Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided, all notices required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and may be delivered personally, or may be sent by facsimile (if applicable), expedited delivery or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the following addresses or by email (with confirmatory copy sent by regular mail), unless the Parties are subsequently notified of any change of address in accordance with this Section 11.5:

11.6          Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision, except that questions affecting the construction and effect of any patent shall be determined by the law of the country in which the patent shall have been granted. Any action, suit or other proceeding arising under or relating to this Agreement, its subject matter, any document or instrument delivered pursuant to, or a breach of this Agreement or any such document or instrument (a “Suit”) shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the Parties hereby consent to the sole jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Each Party agrees not to raise any objection at any time to the laying or maintaining of the venue of any Suit in any of the specified courts, irrevocably waives any claim that Suit has been brought in any inconvenient forum and further irrevocably waives the right to object, with respect to any Suit, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such Party.

 

11.7          Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

 

11.8          Headings. Section and subsection headings are inserted for convenience of reference only and do not form a part of this Agreement.

 

11.9          Counterparts. The Parties may execute this Agreement in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but both of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Transmission by facsimile or electronic mail of an executed counterpart of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute due and sufficient delivery of such counterpart. If by electronic mail, the executed Agreement must be delivered in a .pdf format.

 

 

11.10      Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded or cancelled, and any of the terms may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by each Party or, in the case of waiver, by the Party waiving compliance. The delay or failure of either Party at any time or times to require performance of any provisions hereof shall in no manner affect the rights at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by either Party of any condition or of the breach of any term contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct, or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or considered as, a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or of the breach of such term or any other term of this Agreement.

 

11.11      No Agency or Partnership. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give either Party the right to bind the other, be deemed to constitute either Party as agent for or partner of the other or any third party, or be construed or fiduciary relationship between the Parties. The relationship between the Parties is that of independent contractors.

 

11.12      Assignment and Successors.

 

11.12.1 This Agreement may not be assigned by either Party without the consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that each Party may, without such consent, assign this Agreement, in its entirety, and the rights, obligations and interests of such Party (a) to any affiliate or (b) to any purchaser of all of such Party’s equity or all or substantially all of such Party’s assets or business to which this Agreement relates, or (c) to any successor corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation of such Party with or into such corporation, provided, in each case, that the assignee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Any assignment purported or attempted to be made in violation of the terms of this Section 11.12 shall be null and void and of no legal effect.

 

11.12.2 The rights and licenses granted to Licensee hereunder shall run with the Licensed Patent Rights and Licensed Know-How and Harvard shall not license, encumber, convey or otherwise transfer its rights in or to the Licensed Patent Rights or Licensed Know-How in any way that conflicts with the terms of this Agreement or the rights and licenses granted to Licensee hereunder without the prior written consent of Licensee (in its sole discretion). Any assignment, conveyance, license, encumbrance, transfer or other disposition of Harvard’s rights in or to the Licensed Patent Rights or Licensed Know-How shall be expressly subject to this Agreement and the rights and licenses granted to Licensee hereunder.

 

11.13      Force Majeure. Except for monetary obligations hereunder, neither Party will be responsible for delays resulting from causes beyond the reasonable control of such Party, including fire, explosion, flood, war, strike, or riot, provided that the nonperforming Party uses commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance and continues performance under this Agreement with reasonable dispatch whenever such causes are removed.

 

11.14      Interpretation. Each Party hereto acknowledges and agrees that: (a) it and/or its counsel reviewed and negotiated the terms and provisions of this Agreement and has contributed to its revision; (b) the rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are resolved against the drafting Party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement; (c) the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be construed fairly as to both Parties hereto and not in favor of or against either Party, regardless of which Party was generally responsible for the preparation of this Agreement; and (d) the use of “include,” “includes,” or “including” herein shall not be limiting and “or” shall not be exclusive.

 

11.15      Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid or is ruled invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction or is deemed unenforceable, such invalidity shall not render the entire Agreement unenforceable or invalid but rather the Agreement shall be read and construed as if the invalid or unenforceable provision(s) are not contained herein, and the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly.

 

 

11.16      No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, Governmental Authority, unincorporated organization, trust, association or other entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

11.17      Reimbursement. To the extent that Licensee reimburses Harvard for any costs incurred by Harvard for the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of any Patent Rights hereunder (such costs, “Reimbursed Costs”), then if Harvard grants a license under such Patent Rights to a third Person outside the Field (each, an “Ex-Field Licensee”) and receives reimbursement from such Ex-Field Licensee for Reimbursed Costs, then Licensee shall only be responsible for reimbursing an appropriate portion of such Reimbursed Costs based on the scope and type of license (i.e., non-exclusive vs. exclusive) granted to such Ex-Field Licensee and Harvard shall credit Company’s portion of the Reimbursed Costs to amounts owed to Harvard hereunder.

 

11.18      Licenses of Intellectual Property. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that all rights and licenses under the Licensed Patent Rights and Licensed Know-How granted by Harvard to Licensee under this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), including Section 365(n) thereof, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(35A) of the Bankruptcy Code and in connection therewith, Section 365(n) shall apply. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Licensee shall retain and may fully exercise all of its respective rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, Licensee’s election to continue receiving the benefit of the licenses granted hereunder in consideration for the royalties due and payable hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, if Harvard makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, if a receiver for Harvard’s assets is appointed, if Harvard becomes insolvent, makes a filing in bankruptcy or ceases operations, or if any of Harvard’s lenders forecloses upon or otherwise exercises any of its rights under or with respect to any liens or security interests on any of the Licensed Patent Rights, Licensed Know-How and/or this Agreement, then Harvard acknowledges and agrees that such foreclosure and exercise shall be expressly subject to this Agreement and all rights and licenses under the Licensed Patent Rights and Licensed Know-How granted by Harvard to Licensee under this Agreement and the license granted to Licensee hereunder shall, in consideration for the royalties due and payable hereunder, continue in full force and effect.

 

11.19      Confidentiality. The terms (but not the existence) of this Agreement constitute the Confidential Information of both Parties pursuant to Article VII of the Collaboration Agreement and neither Party shall disclose the terms of this Agreement to any third party except (a) to its Affiliates, Distributors and Sublicensees and their respective officers, directors, members, employees, agents and outside advisors who reasonably need to know such information for exercising such Party’s rights or performing such Party’s obligations under this Agreement or the Collaboration Agreement, (b) with the prior written approval of the other Party, (c) the Company may issue a press release substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit F to the Collaboration Agreement, which press release has been approved in advance by Harvard, or (d) this restriction shall not apply to any information required by law to be disclosed to any Governmental Authority or required to be disclosed publicly pursuant to applicable law, including, without limitation, pursuant to or in connection with securities law reporting obligations or the rules of any securities exchange, provided that the Party disclosing such information shall seek confidential treatment of such Confidential Information to the extent permitted under applicable law.
