If LIMR believes in good faith that NewLink has materially breached its obligations under Section 9(a), then LIMR shall, in accordance with the terms of this paragraph 4, have the right and option to reduce NewLink’s exclusive License to a nonexclusive license or revoke the License in its entirety (by terminating the Agreement), provided that prior to taking this action: (1) LIMR shall provide NewLink written notice of the perceived breach, describing in detail the basis for LIMR’s belief that such perceived breach has occurred, describing the preferred method of cure and the proposed action to be taken by LIMR in the event of non-cure; and (2) NewLink shall have ninety (90) days to establish that it has met or will, within such ninety (90) day period, meet the applicable obligations; if the parties are still in dispute as to whether NewLink has met such obligations or cured such breach within ninety (90) days after receipt of notice from LIMR, the dispute will be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with Section 23(b) of this Agreement, and if such arbitration determines that NewLink materially breached its obligations under Section 9(a) and did not cure such breach, then LIMR shall have the option to terminate this Agreement or to convert the License granted to NewLink in Section 2(a) to a non-exclusive license, in each case, upon prior written notice to NewLink. b. LIMR may terminate this Agreement immediately by providing NewLink written notice of termination, if: (1) NewLink ceases to function as a going concern; (2) a bankruptcy petition or action is filed or taken by or against NewLink under any United States bankruptcy law; (3) a receiver, assignee or other liquidating officer is appointed with control for all or substantially all of the assets of NewLink; or (4) NewLink makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors of all or substantially all its assets; provided, that, in the case of subclauses (b)(2), (3) or (4) above, such aforementioned circumstance is not remedied, dismissed or stayed within the earlier of sixty (60) days of (x) occurrence of (b)(2), (3) or (4) or (y) LIMR’s notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement; Notwithstanding anything in Sections 4(a) or (b) or 23 to the contrary, at any time that LIMR or NewLink believes that the other party has defaulted under this Agreement and that such default will irreparably harm such party, in addition to its rights under this Agreement and at law, such party shall have the right to seek all applicable equitable remedies. c. If NewLink fails to make any payment whatsoever due and payable to LIMR hereunder, LIMR shall have the right to terminate this Agreement effective on ninety (90) days written notice, unless NewLink shall make all such payments to LIMR within said ninety (90) day period, and provided that the payments demanded by LIMR are not disputed by NewLink. In the event of a dispute of such payments by NewLink, the parties shall use good faith efforts to resolve the dispute, which if not resolved by the end of four (4) months either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration pursuant to Section 23(b). Any disputed payments submitted to arbitration hereunder be paid into escrow the arbitrator or other independent escrow agent acceptable to both parties in their reasonable discretion unless and until determined due by the arbitrator under Section 23(b), provided, however that if the arbitrator determines that amounts are payable by NewLink to LIMR, then such outstanding amounts will bear interest back to the date that they originally accrued at the default rate of Prime plus 4%. Prime shall be the prime rate published by the Wall Street Journal or if the Wall Street Journal publishes more than one prime rate, then the average of the prime rates published by the Wall Street Journal, and if the Wall Street Journal does not publish a prime rate, then the prime rate of the largest bank in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. d.

Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, nothing herein shall be construed to release either party from any obligation that has accrued prior to the effective date of such termination. NewLink and any Sublicensee thereof may, however, after the effective date of such termination, sell all then existing Licensed Products, and complete Licensed Products in the process of manufacture at the time of such termination and sell the same, provided that NewLink shall make the payments to LIMR as required by Articles 8 & 9 of this Agreement and shall submit the reports as required by Article 11 hereof. f.
