7.2.1.The LICENSOR shall have Product Manufactured for IMMEDICA at the Facility in accordance with the Specifications, GMP, all Applicable Laws, the Quality Agreement and the terms and conditions of this Agreement. LICENSOR shall consult with IMMEDICA prior to any change to the Facility that would impact the Regulatory Approval for the Product in the Territory (including any change that would require a variation of the Regulatory Approval). LICENSOR shall provide notice and rationale of any such change to IMMEDICA as promptly as practicable to allow IMMEDICA to file and seek approval of any variation or amendment to a Regulatory Approval before such change is implemented. Justification for the proposed changes as well as any updated sections to the Regulatory Dossier Module 3 (CMC) documentation required to support such variation will be provided to IMMEDICA by LICENSOR at LICENSOR’s expense. The Specifications will not be amended or modified unless agreed by both Parties in writing. If any Regulatory Authority requires a change to the Specifications or if any such change is required by a change in Applicable Law the Parties will discuss and agree how to implement such change. LICENSOR shall, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause its Third Party suppliers to, support IMMEDICA in gathering any information and data (including through carrying out stability studies) required for IMMEDICA to fullfil its obligation to submit such regulatory variations, or fullfil obligations associated with such variations (including ‘Post approval commitments’). IMMEDICA shall pay the filing fee associated with any application by IMMEDICA for a variation to a Regulatory Approval for the Product in the Territory. Any other costs, fees or expenses incurred as a result of having to file an application for a variation as a result of such a change in the Facility or change to the Specifications or a requirement of a Regulatory Authority shall be borne by (i) IMMEDICA if such variation is required as a result of a request from IMMEDICA, a change or requirement of a Regulatory Authority in the Territory or a change in Applicable Laws in the Territory and (ii) in all other cases shall be borne by LICENSOR. For clarity, except as otherwise required to comply with Applicable Laws, until such time as a variation is approved by the applicable Regulatory Authority LICENSOR shall continue to supply the Product to IMMEDICA in accordance with the unamended Specification and Regulatory Approval.

In the event that IMMEDICA audits a LICENSOR supplier or subcontractor, the LICENSOR has the right to be on site during the audit and act as an observer between IMMEDICA and such supplier or subcontractor. The LICENSOR may charge its reasonable costs and expenses for such attendance if such audit takes place more than [*] per year, unless IMMEDICA identifies a material defect in the LICENSOR’s or any subcontractor’s or supplier’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement, justifying an audit. If IMMEDICA or its representatives notify the LICENSOR of any defects in the LICENSOR’s or any subcontractor’s or supplier’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including non-compliance with any Applicable Laws, the LICENSOR shall correct, or cause its suppliers or subcontractors to correct, the defects as soon as practicable at the LICENSOR’s expense and shall provide such evidence as IMMEDICA may reasonably request that such defects have been remedied.

LICENSOR shall give IMMEDICA timely notice of any proposed settlement of any such action instituted by LICENSOR and shall not enter into any settlement that would: (i) admit the liability of IMMEDICA or its Affiliates, or (ii) materially affect the scope of validity of any Licensed Patent or Trademark, or (iii) materially adversely effect the Commercialization of the Product in the Territory, in each case with respect to the foregoing clauses (i)-(iii), without the prior written consent of IMMEDICA, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

(b)If LICENSOR does not initiate proceedings within [*] from the date of IMMEDICA’s request that LICENSOR initiate such proceedings, then IMMEDICA shall have the right but shall not be obliged, upon prior written notice to LICENSOR, to initiate infringement proceedings or take other action it believes appropriate against such Third Party Infringement at its own expense.

 

10.2.2.Assistance. At the request and sole cost and expense of the Party controlling an Enforcement Action, the other Party shall provide reasonable assistance in connection therewith. If one Party brings any suit, action or proceeding under this Section 10.2, the other Party agrees to be joined as party plaintiff if reasonably necessary to prosecute the suit, action or proceeding and to give the first Party authority to file, prosecute and control the suit, action or proceeding; provided however that such non- controlling Party shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action in which it is a party by independent counsel of its own choice.

 

10.2.3.Recoveries. Any recoveries resulting from an action relating to a claim of Third Party Infringement shall first be applied against payment of each Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Any remaining recoveries shall be retained by IMMEDICA; provided that LICENSOR shall be entitled to a Royalty on such remaining recoveries at the applicable rate set forth in Section 6.1 as if the amount of such remaining recoveries were Net Sales of IMMEDICA in the Calendar Year in which the recoveries were received by IMMEDICA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any recoveries resulting from an action relating to a claim of Third Party Infringement shall not be included in the calculation of any commercial milestones under Section 1.2 of Schedule B.

 

10.2.4.Third Party Infringement Claims. If the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any Product in any country of the Territory pursuant to this Agreement results in a claim, suit or proceeding alleging patent or other intellectual property infringement against the LICENSOR or IMMEDICA (or their respective Affiliates, or Sublicensees) (collectively, “Infringement Actions”), such Party shall promptly notify the other Party hereto in writing. IMMEDICA shall be indemnified in respect of any such Infringement Action in accordance with Section 13.1 and LICENSOR shall have the right to direct and control the defense thereof, at its own expense with counsel of its choice in accordance with Section 13.3. LICENSOR shall keep IMMEDICA reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any such Infringement Action.

NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT EXCLUDES OR LIMITS ANY LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, FOR FRAUD OR FOR ANY OTHER LIABILITY WHICH CANNOT LEGALLY BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED.

 

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 14.1 SHALL NOT LIMIT AN INDEMNITOR’ S LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES AWARDED TO ANY THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIM FOR WHICH A PARTY IS ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER SECTION 13.

Each Party shall have the right, without prejudice to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, to terminate this Agreement in the event the other Party is in material breach of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within [*] of receiving notice thereof; provided, however, if such breach is capable of being cured, but cannot be cured within such [*] period, and the breaching Party initiates actions to cure such breach within such period and thereafter diligently pursues such actions, the breaching Party shall have such additional period as is reasonable to cure such breach, but in no event will such additional period exceed [*]. Any termination by a Party under this Section 15.2 shall be without prejudice to any damages or other legal or equitable remedies to which it may be entitled from the other Party.

Any termination for Patent Challenge shall be subject to the notification and cure procedure set out in Section 15.2, including a right for IMMEDICA to withdraw or rectify the Patent Challenge during the cure period in which case LICENSOR shall have no right to terminate this Agreement at the end of the cure period if the Patent Challenge has been so withdrawn or rectified.

The LICENSOR shall not assign or otherwise transfer to any Affiliate or any Third Party any ownership interest in or to any Licensed Know-How or Licensed Patent, unless (i) the LICENSOR’s entire business associated with the Product, including all Manufacturing rights relating to the Product, are assigned to such Affiliate or Third Party and (ii) this Agreement is concurrently assigned therewith. Any attempted assignment in contravention of the foregoing shall be void. Each Party shall be entitled to appoint subcontractors to carry out its obligations under this Agreement provided that such subcontractors are engaged under contracts that are consistent with the terms of this Agreement and such subcontracting shall not relieve a Party of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

19.3.Severability. Should one or more of the provisions of this Agreement become void or unenforceable as a matter of law, then such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement, and the Parties agree to substitute a valid and forceable provision therefor which, as nearly possible, achieves the desired economic effect and mutual understanding of the Parties under this Agreement.

 

19.4.Governing Law. This Agreement and any issues, disputes or claims arising out of or in connection with it (whether contractual or non-contractual in nature such as claims in tort, from breach of statute or regulation or otherwise) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of England and Wales, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws provision thereof or of any other jurisdiction that would produce a contrary result, except that issues subject to the arbitration clause and any arbitration hereunder shall be governed by the applicable commercial arbitration rules and regulations.

 

19.5.Force Majeure. Except with respect to delays or nonperformance caused by the negligent or intentional act or omission of a Party, any delay or nonperformance by such Party (other than payment obligations under this Agreement) will not be considered a breach of this Agreement to the extent such delay or nonperformance is caused by acts of God, natural disasters, acts of the government or civil or military authority, fire, floods, epidemics, pandemics, quarantine, energy crises, war or riots or other similar cause outside of the reasonable control of such Party (each, a “Force Majeure Event”), provided that the Party affected by such Force Majeure Event will promptly begin or resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable after the event has abated. In the event that the Force Majeure Event is a recognized widespread epidemic or pandemic (including the current COVID-19 pandemic) that delays or renders impracticable or unsafe the performance by either or both of the Parties under this Agreement, the Parties will negotiate in good faith appropriate modifications to this Agreement to allow performance hereunder that is consistent with the health and safety of the Parties, their representatives, the general public and/or any participants in any Clinical Studies.

 

19.6.Waivers and Amendments. The failure of any Party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition by the other Party. No waiver shall be effective unless it has been given in writing and signed by the Party giving such waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified other than by a written document signed by authorized representatives of each Party.
