Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon request by Licensor, Licensee shall provide Licensor such information in Licensee’s possession as may be reasonably necessary for Licensor to obtain the benefit of any present or future treaty against double taxation which may apply to payments made to Licensor under this Agreement.

4.11 Audits. Licensee shall keep (and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep) complete and accurate records pertaining to the sale or other disposition of Products in sufficient detail to permit Licensor to confirm the accuracy of all royalty payments due hereunder for at least seven (7) full calendar years following the end of the calendar year to which they pertain. Licensor shall have the right, once annually, to cause an independent, certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Licensee to audit such records solely to confirm Net Sales and royalties for a period covering not more than the preceding three (3) full calendar years. No calendar year shall be subject to audit under this section more than once. Such audits may be exercised during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice of not less than sixty (60) days to Licensee in the location where the records are maintained. The auditor will send a copy of the report to Licensee at the same time it is sent to Licensor. The report sent to both Parties will include the methodology and calculations used to determine the results. Prompt adjustments shall be made by the Parties to reflect the results of such audit. Licensor shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underpayment by Licensee of more than ten percent (10%) of the amount due for any calendar quarter (a “Material Underpayment”) under this Agreement, in which case, Licensee shall bear the full cost of such audit and shall promptly remit to Licensor the amount of such Material Underpayment. If either (a) a Material Underpayment is found or (b) an independent auditor determines that there are insufficient records to support the calculation of the royalty payments due under this Agreement, then Licensor shall have the right, at its expense, to audit Licensee quarterly for the two calendar years succeeding the applicable triggering event. If any subsequent audit contemplated by the previous sentence reveals a Material Underpayment, the cost of such subsequent audit shall be borne by Licensee.

If, at any time during the term of this Agreement after expiration of the ROFN Period, Licensor executes a term sheet with, or receives a bona fide final written offer from, a Third Party for a transaction involving the grant of a license for any Ancillary Inventions, (each a “Third-Party Offer”), Licensor shall within three (3) Business Days following receipt of the Third-Party Offer, notify Licensee in writing (the “Offer Notice”) of the material financial and other terms and conditions of such Third-Party Offer to the extent relating solely to such Ancillary Inventions, including, without limitation, the price, territory and duration of the license to such Ancillary Inventions, subject to Licensor’s obligations of confidentiality to such Third Party. Such Offer Notice will constitute an offer made by Licensor to enter into an agreement with Licensee on the same material terms as such Third-Party Offer (the “ROFR Offer”). At any time before the expiration of a ten (10) day period following the Licensee’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Exercise Period”), Licensee may accept the ROFR Offer by delivery to Licensor of written notice of acceptance executed by Licensee and shall be deemed legally bound to perform the obligations of Licensee as set forth in such accepted ROFR Offer; provided, that in the event Licensee thereafter declines for any reason to timely enter into a definitive agreement with Licensor with respect to such accepted ROFR Offer, Licensee shall hold Licensor harmless against any losses incurred by Licensor in connection thereto or in reliance on such acceptance. If, by expiration of the Exercise Period, Licensee has not accepted the ROFR Offer, Licensor may consummate the proposed transaction with the Third Party identified in the applicable Offer Notice, on material terms that are the same or more favorable to Licensor as set forth in the Offer Notice. If such Third Party transaction is not consummated, the terms and conditions of this Section 6.6(b) will continue to apply to any future Third-Party Offers made during the term of this Agreement.

(c) Proportionate Reimbursement of Cash Funding. If Licensor enters into a Third Party Agreement pursuant to Section 6.6(b) at any time prior to the Licensee Reimbursement Date (as defined below), then Licensor shall reimburse to Licensee a proportionate amount of the Flu-CoV Cash Funding earlier paid by Licensee to Licensor hereunder in connection with the applicable Project giving rise to such Ancillary Invention; provided, that (i) the amount of such reimbursement shall not exceed 50% of such Flu-CoV Cash Funding; and (b) the payment schedule for such reimbursement shall be determined based on good faith negotiations between the Parties and shall not occur prior to Licensor’s receipt in turn of payment of such amount by such Third Party under such Third Party Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6.6(c), “Licensee Reimbursement Date” shall mean the date on which Licensee’s out-of-pocket costs due to Licensee’s earlier payments to Licensor of Flu-CoV Cash Funding hereunder are fully reimbursed to Licensee as a result of Licensee’s receipt of Product Sublicense Income or Net Sales or other amounts covering such out-of-pocket costs or otherwise relating to Product Candidates or Products.

In the event that Licensor desires to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance of any Joint Patent Right, Licensor shall provide written notice to Licensee of such intention to abandon promptly after Licensee makes such determination, which notice shall be given no later than thirty (30) days prior to the next deadline for any action that must be taken with respect to such Joint Patent Right in the relevant patent office. In such case, Licensee shall have the right, in its discretion, exercisable upon written notice to Licensor delivered no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice from Licensor, to assume responsibility for prosecution and maintenance of such Joint Patent Right, at its sole cost and expense and by counsel of its own choice.

(a) Competitive Infringement.

(i) Licensee shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring or defend and control any action or proceeding with respect to Competitive Infringement (including to defend any declaratory judgment action or claim) of a Product Patent Right that Covers a Product Candidate or Product, at Licensee’s own expense and by counsel of its own choice. Licensor will join as a party to any such suit or action as necessary. Notwithstanding the preceding, to the extent strategic or other decisions or actions with respect to any such proceeding are reasonably likely to have a potential impact on Licensor Patent Rights or Product Patent Rights to the extent such impact is not specifically related to a Product Candidate or Product, Licensee shall consult with Licensor prior to making any such decision or taking any such action and will not take such action without the written consent of Licensor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or denied. Each Party will recover any of its expenses incurred in connection with the subject infringement claim from amounts recovered. Licensee shall be entitled to retain any compensation or other damages or recovery recovered from any action related to Competitive Infringement brought by Licensee (“Licensee Infringement Compensation”) to the extent relating specifically to a Product Candidate or Product; provided, that Licensee shall pay to Licensor all Royalties payable to Licensor under Article II of this Agreement as if Licensee Infringement Compensation constituted Net Sales.

(ii) If Licensee fails to bring any such action or proceeding with respect to Competitive Infringement of any Product Patent Right within ninety (90) days (or such shorter period of time as may be reasonably required to avoid the loss or impairment of any legal rights with respect to such Competitive Infringement) following the notice of alleged Competitive Infringement, Licensor shall have the right to bring (or defend) and control any such action at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Licensee shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. Licensor shall be entitled to retain all amounts recovered from any action brought by Licensor pursuant to this Section 7.3(a) (ii). Licensee shall join as a party to any such suit or action as necessary and requested by Licensor. Licensee shall provide such assistance and cooperation as reasonably requested by Licensee in connection with any action brought by Licensor pursuant to this Section 7.3(a)(ii).

(c) Cooperation. In the event a Party brings (or defends) an Infringement action in accordance with this Section 7.3, or in the event a Party is entitled to bring (or defend) an Infringement action in accordance with this Section 7.3 but lacks standing to do so, the other Party shall cooperate fully, including, if required to bring (or defend) such action, the furnishing of a power of attorney or being named as a party. No Party shall enter into any settlement or compromise of any action under this Section 7.3 which would in any manner alter, diminish, or be in derogation of any other Party’s rights under this Agreement.

7.4 Patent Term Extensions.

(a) Product Patent Rights. Upon request of Licensee, Licensor shall file for extensions of the Product Patent Rights in each country and region, at Licensee’s cost and expense. Licensor shall give written notice to Licensee of the need for extensions of the Product Patent Rights to maintain such Product Patent Rights at least sixty (60) days before the deadline for any such filing. Licensee may also choose, at its option, to file for any such extension at its own expense. In such case that Licensee chooses to file for any such extension, Licensor shall provide all reasonably requested assistance to Licensee in connection with such filings at Licensee’s request. Licensor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to file for an extension of the Product Patent Rights at its expense in any country in which Licensee declines to pursue an extension.

(b) Licensee Patent Rights. Licensee shall have the sole right to apply for extension of term for any Licensee Patent Right in any country and/or region for any product, including, without limitation, any Product, at Licensee’s sole cost and expense. In the event that Licensee desires to not apply for a patent extension for any such Licensee Patent Rights for which there is a reasonable basis to file for such extension, Licensee shall provide written notice to Licensor of such intention to not file no later than thirty (30) days prior to the next deadline for any action that must be taken with respect to such Licensee Patent Right in the relevant patent office. In such case, upon receipt of a written request by Licensor to assume responsibility for prosecution and maintenance of such Licensee Patent Right, Licensee shall allow Licensor, at Licensor’s sole discretion, control, cost and expense and by counsel of its own choice, delivered no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice from Licensee to assume such responsibility.

7.5 Infringement of Third Party Rights. Each Party shall promptly notify the other in writing of any allegation by a Third Party that the activity of either Party pursuant to this Agreement infringes or may infringe the intellectual property rights of such Third Party. No Party shall have the right to settle any patent Infringement litigation under this Section 7.5 in a manner that diminishes the rights or interests of the other Parties, or obligates the other Parties to assume any fault, liabilities or additional obligations, without the prior written consent of such other Parties.

Article VIII

If a case is commenced during the Term by or against a Party under Bankruptcy Laws then, unless and until this Agreement is rejected as provided in such Bankruptcy Laws (or otherwise independently breached), such Party (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a trustee) shall perform all of the obligations provided in this Agreement to be performed by such Party. All rights, powers and remedies of the non-bankrupt Party as provided herein are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other rights, powers and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Laws) in the event of the commencement of a case by or against a Party under the Bankruptcy Laws.

This Funding Agreement, together with this SOW, License Agreement, Option and the Framework Agreement as incorporated hereunder, and any and all schedules, exhibits and addenda hereto or thereto, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Funding Agreement (including the subject matter relating to the Project Fields described herein) and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, promises or agreements (including any proposal submitted by a Research Party to Licensee relating to any Project) of every nature with respect thereto, all of which have become merged and integrated into or are deemed to be merged into this Funding Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing (i) this Funding Agreement shall not be deemed to impact, alter, modify, cancel or otherwise supersede, replace or override any other agreements or any individual terms therein or any other arrangements amongst the Parties with respect to any research or other undertakings outside the Project Fields or Indications described herein; and (ii) without limiting the foregoing clause (i), nothing in this Funding Agreement shall be deemed to impact, alter, modify, cancel or otherwise supersede, replace or override that certain SOW & License Agreement, effective January 31, 2020, and Funding Agreement amongst the Parties regarding the Project for Hepatitis B Indication and (iii) the use in connection with this Funding Agreement and its Project Fields and Indications of any Information generated under other Funding Agreements shall be deemed governed by this Agreement with respect to such use of such Information in connection with the Project Fields and Indications that constitute the subject matter of this Agreement.

(b) To the extent any terms set forth in this SOW and License Agreement or a Project Amendment Order relating hereto conflict with the terms of the Framework Agreement or conflict otherwise, the following order of precedence shall be applied in descending order of precedence: (1) terms in such Project Amendment Order shall control, solely and specifically with respect to the subject matter set forth in such Project Amendment Order; (2) then the terms in this SOW and License Agreement (including all Schedules, exhibits and addenda attached hereto and/or incorporated herein by reference) shall control with respect to the subject matter (including the Project Fields) set forth in this SOW and License Agreement; and (3) then the Framework Agreement shall control, except in each case as otherwise provided in such Project Amendment Order or this SOW and License Agreement.

(c) No amendment or modification to this Funding Agreement or any portion hereof shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by each Party.

(d) Notwithstanding anything otherwise to the contrary herein, this Funding Agreement (or any Project Amendment Orders in connection herewith) shall not be deemed to amend, modify or alter any other Funding Agreement duly executed by the Parties pursuant to the Framework Agreement, unless the Parties otherwise expressly so state in such other Funding Agreement.

(e) For purposes of this Agreement: (a) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa as the context requires; (b) the words “including” and “include” shall mean “including, without limitation,” or “including, but not limited to,” unless otherwise specified; (c) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “herewith,” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Funding Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Funding Agreement; (d) all references to “Section”, “Schedule” and “Exhibit,” unless otherwise specified, are intended to refer to a Section, Schedule or Exhibit of or to this Funding Agreement; (e) all references to days, months, quarters or years shall be deemed references to calendar days, calendar months, calendar quarters, or calendar years, unless otherwise stated; (f) the word “or” shall be used in the inclusive sense (and/or), unless otherwise stated; (g) references in this Funding Agreement to “costs and expenses incurred” or the like shall include without limitation costs and expenses incurred for any non-cancelable obligations; and (h) the paragraph and other headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

No waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving Party. If any provision of this Funding Agreement is declared void or unenforceable, such provision will be severed and the balance of this Funding Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

10.4 Specific Performance and Injunctive Relief. Each Party acknowledges that in the event of a material breach of this Funding Agreement, substantial injury could result to another Party and money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for such breach. Therefore, in the event that a Party violates any provision of this Funding Agreement, each other Party shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies which may be available to it under law, to injunctive relief (including, without limitation, temporary restraining orders, or preliminary or permanent injunctions) and specific enforcement of the terms of this Funding Agreement. The Party enforcing its rights hereunder shall not be required to post a bond or other security in connection with the granting of any such relief.
