Licensee agrees that its continued employment of a Service Provider when Licensee and/or its Authorized Affiliates are aware or should be aware that such Service Provider is using Life Cells other than as permitted hereunder, if not cured as provided under Section 7.3, shall constitute a material breach by Licensee under this Agreement.

Life will be entitled to perform such audit no more than once per calendar year at its sole expense. All information acquired by said Auditor during the audit will be deemed Confidential Information under this Agreement and the Auditor shall enter into a written confidentiality and non-use agreement under terms at least as restrictive as this Agreement prior to entering Licensee’s premises.

The term “Confidential Information” in this Agreement means all non-public or proprietary information disclosed by or on behalf of a Party or its Affiliates to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement, which may include ideas, inventions, discoveries, concepts, compounds, compositions, formulations, formulas, practices, procedures, processes, methods, knowledge, know-how, trade secrets, technology, inventories, machines, techniques, development, designs, drawings, computer programs, skill, experience, documents, apparatus, results, clinical and regulatory strategies, regulatory documentation, information and submissions pertaining to, or made in association with, filings with any Regulatory Authority, data, including pharmacological, toxicological and clinical data, analytical and quality control data, manufacturing data and descriptions, patent and legal data, market data, financial data or descriptions, devices, assays, chemical formulations, specifications, material, product samples and other samples, physical, chemical and biological materials and compounds, and the like, in whatever form or medium, and whether or not designated or marked “confidential” or “proprietary.” Confidential Information shall include the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(i) became generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the receiving party or its Affiliates;

(iv) was independently developed by the receiving party without use of the Confidential Information as evidenced by written records.

5.3 Non-Use and Confidentiality. The Parties shall maintain the Confidential Information in strict confidence and the Parties shall use Confidential Information only in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Party shall:

(i) limit its dissemination of Confidential Information to only those employees and agents of such Party, Life’s Affiliates or Authorized Affiliates, who require such Confidential Information in order to exercise the rights of each Party, Life’s Affiliates or Authorized Affiliates under this Agreement and such employees and agents shall be subject to obligations of confidentiality at least as restrictive as those specified herein; and

In the event that the receiving party or anyone to whom it transmits the Confidential Information pursuant to this Agreement becomes legally required to disclose any such Confidential Information, the receiving party shall provide the disclosing party with prompt notice of such required disclosure so that the disclosing party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the receiving party shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required to be furnished in the written opinion of the receiving party’s counsel.

6. Reservation of Rights. This Agreement shall not limit the rights of Life or its Affiliates in any way regarding Life Rights. It is specifically understood that as between the Parties to this Agreement, Life reserves the right for itself or its Affiliates to exercise its rights in its intellectual property, and to license, sublicense, assign or otherwise transfer such rights to others for any purpose whatsoever, under any terms, in its sole discretion, including terms and conditions that are substantially similar to or different from those in this Agreement. For purposes of clarification, Life may provide Third Parties with draft contracts that are substantially similar to this Agreement and may additionally provide cell line documentation package, including the CLDP, to Third Parties at its sole discretion.

This Agreement shall also not limit the rights of Licensee or its Authorized Affiliates to license their own intellectual property rights to any Third Party. For clarity, in order for any Third Party to use Life Cells or any Life intellectual property rights thereto (including Life Rights) for commercial purposes (including without limitation pre-IND commercial research), except as set forth in 2.1(c), such a Third Party must obtain a separate license from Life for consideration and on terms and conditions to be determined by Life, and it is a material condition of this Agreement that Licensee inform its clients, potential licensees and other Third Parties interested in such rights of this requirement in writing with a copy of each such notification to Life.
