(b) Each sublicense granted by a Licensee under the license granted to such Licensee in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 shall be granted pursuant to an agreement that (i) is subject to, and consistent with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and includes provisions at least as protective of Licensor and its Affiliates as the provisions of this Agreement (except that such sublicense shall not be required to provide rights for Licensor to audit Sublicensee in accordance with, and subject to, Section 2.13 (1) if the sublicense is granted to an Affiliate, (2) with respect to sublicenses of Licensed Know-How, Licensed Copyrights or Business Software where the primary purpose of such arrangement with sublicensee is not to grant access to such Licensed Know-How, Licensed Copyrights or Business Software or (3) with respect to sublicenses of the licenses granted under Section 2.6), (ii) to the extent with respect to Licensed Patents or SpecCo Licensed Standards and if Sublicensee is a Third Party, provides that Licensor shall be an intended beneficiary thereunder with the right of direct enforcement against the Sublicensee (including, for clarity, with respect to the audit rights set forth in Section 2.13 to the extent applicable), and (iii) to the extent with respect to Licensed Patents or SpecCo Licensed Standards, is in writing if the Sublicensee is a Third Party. For clarity, granting a sublicense shall not relieve Licensee of any obligations hereunder and Licensee shall cause each of its Sublicensees to comply, and shall remain responsible for its Sublicensees’ compliance, with the terms hereof applicable to Licensee.

Section 2.9 Third Party Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the licenses granted under Sections 2.1 through 2.6) are subject to any and all rights of and obligations owed to any Third Parties with respect to the Licensed IP under any Contracts existing as of the Effective Date (or in the case of any Wrong Pockets Patents, existing as of or prior to the date of the Wrong Pockets Notice) to which Licensor or any of its Affiliates is a party or is otherwise bound, and to the extent that, as a result of such rights or obligations, any license or other rights granted hereunder: (i) may not be granted without the consent of or payment of a fee or other consideration; or (ii) will cause Licensor or any of its Affiliates to be in breach of any of its or their obligations to any Third Party, the applicable licenses and other rights granted hereunder shall only be granted to the extent such consent has been obtained or such fee or other consideration has been paid. Except for any Intellectual Property licensed pursuant to Section 2.3, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such consents to the extent required to grant Licensee the rights granted hereunder; provided that, (i) the foregoing shall not require the Parties to duplicate any obligations undertaken under the Separation Agreement and (ii) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Licensor shall have no obligation to agree to or make any payments or other concessions, except as mutually agreed in writing between the Parties, or participate in any act or omission that will cause Licensor to be in breach of its or their obligations to any Third Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee shall not be deemed in breach of this Section 2.9(a) only if, and for such time, Licensee is not aware of such rights of or obligations owed to such Third Party.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Third Party Payments, if any, with respect to the Licensed IP (except for any Intellectual Property licensed under Section 2.3) shall be Licensee’s sole responsibility. Licensee shall pay the Third Party Payments directly to the applicable Third Party; provided that if such Third Party does not permit Licensee to pay such Third Party Payments to such Third Party directly (whether pursuant to the applicable Contract or otherwise) after the Parties have used commercially reasonable efforts to permit the Licensee to pay the Third Party directly, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to ensure that such Third Party Payments are paid by Licensee to Licensor in a manner that ensures Licensor’s payment thereof is in compliance with the obligations to the applicable Third Party. Such cooperation shall include Licensee (i) preparing and providing Licensor with reasonably detailed written reports reflecting calculation of the applicable Third Party Payments and any other information required by the applicable Third Parties and (ii) paying Licensor the applicable Third Party Payments by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated by Licensor in writing no less than ten (10) days prior to the due date of such payment pursuant to the terms of the applicable Contract. If either Party becomes aware of any Third Party Payments, it shall reasonably promptly notify the other Party in writing, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.9(b), Licensee shall not be deemed in breach of this Section 2.9(b) if, and for such time, Licensee is not aware of the applicable Third Party Payments; provided that, upon learning of such Third Party Payments, Licensee shall promptly pay such Third Party Payments to the applicable Third Party directly (or such other Person as reasonably directed by Licensor) to the extent such Third Party Payments are past due.

Section 2.10 No Use or Promotion Outside Field. Each Party shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates to not: (a) as Licensee, exercise rights under any Licensed IP except to the extent expressly licensed hereunder or expressly agreed upon in advance in writing by Licensor, and (b) without limiting the foregoing, (1) if such Party is MatCo, Promote use of products or services (A) Covered by an issued SpecCo Licensed Patent outside the MatCo Patent Field, or (B) Covered by an issued MatCo Licensed Patent in the SpecCo Exclusive Patent Field, or (2) if such Party is SpecCo, Promote products or services (x) Covered by an issued MatCo Licensed Patent outside the SpecCo Patent Field, or (y) Covered by an issued SpecCo Licensed Patent in the MatCo Exclusive Patent Field (the field of use restrictions described in the foregoing clauses (1) and (2), “Field Restrictions”). There shall be no affirmative obligation hereunder on either Party to monitor its customers’ use of such Party’s products or services. For clarity, products or services sold by a Party under this Agreement are not authorized sales under the Patent licenses granted herein for any use outside the Field Restrictions.

Section 2.11 Reservation of Rights. Each Party reserves its and its Affiliates’ rights in and to all Intellectual Property that is not expressly licensed or otherwise granted hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement and the licenses and rights granted herein do not, and shall not be construed to, confer any rights upon either Party, its Affiliates, or its Sublicensees by implication, estoppel, or otherwise as to any of the other Party’s Intellectual Property (including, for clarity, any Excluded IP, except to the extent expressly licensed under Section 2.4).

Section 2.12 Retention and Transfer of Licensed Know-How.

(a) If SpecCo or MatCo (the “Requesting Party”) reasonably believes that any Know-How Materials are in possession or control of the other Party (such Party, the “Holding Party”) or any of its Affiliates and such Know-How Materials are not in the possession or control of the Requesting Party or any of its Affiliates, and the Requesting Party makes a request in writing during the two (2) year period following the Effective Date that the Holding Party deliver the Know-How Materials to the Requesting Party, the Holding Party shall review such request and, to the extent in the possession or control of the Holding Party or any of its Affiliates and, for purposes of Business Software only, is reasonably accessible to the Holding Party for purposes of transfer to the Requesting Party (provided that, subject to the below provisos, such accessibility shall not take into account whether such Business Software is integrated with other Software), deliver the Know-How Materials to the Requesting Party as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event within thirty (30) Business Days of receiving such request from the Requesting Party; provided that, the Holding Party shall notify the Requesting Party within such thirty (30) Business Day period if it reasonably believes that such request requires a longer period of review to determine if the request concerns MatCo Licensed Know-How, SpecCo Licensed Know-How, MatCo Licensed Copyrights, SpecCo Licensed Copyrights, SpecCo Licensed Standards or Business Software (as applicable) or to locate the applicable Know-How Materials, and the Holding Party shall take all reasonable steps to review and provide such Know-How Materials (as applicable) within an additional sixty (60) days of expiration of such initial thirty (30) Business Day period; provided, further, with respect to any Business Software requested by a Requesting Party hereunder that is integrated with other Software, the Parties shall discuss in good faith a reasonable deadline in lieu of the foregoing timing for delivering any such Business Software to the Requesting Party, and the Requesting Party agrees that it shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of preparing such Software for delivery subject to the Requesting Party’s advance approval of such costs; provided, further, to the extent the request does not constitute MatCo Licensed Know-How, MatCo Licensed Copyrights or Business Software (if the Requesting Party is SpecCo) or SpecCo Licensed Know-How, SpecCo Licensed Copyrights, SpecCo Licensed Standards, or Business Software (if the Requesting Party is MatCo), the Holding Party shall not be required to deliver such Know-How Materials to the Requesting Party, but shall provide the Requesting Party with an explanation in reasonable detail of the basis of such determination and shall make itself and its relevant Affiliates available to discuss in good faith with the Requesting Party.

(b) For clarity, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall Licensor or its Affiliates be required hereunder to provide any written, electronic, computerized, digital or other tangible or intangible media to the extent comprising, containing or reflecting any MatCo Licensed Know-How, SpecCo Licensed Know-How, MatCo Licensed Copyrights, SpecCo Licensed Copyrights, SpecCo Licensed Standards, or Business Software to Licensee, that (i) has already been provided to, or is in the possession of, Licensee or its Affiliates or (ii) is used to make any Products. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as requiring that Licensor or any of its Affiliates transfer or grant access to tangible biological material to Licensee or any of its Affiliates.

Section 2.13 Audit. Not more than once per year, or at any time a Party has a reasonable, good faith belief that the other Party has materially breached this Agreement, or (to the extent with respect to this Agreement) the Umbrella Secrecy Agreement, and provides written notice to such other Party as well as detailed documentation or other evidence of such alleged breach, upon thirty (30) days’ advance written notice, such first Party may cause an independent Third Party auditor that is reasonably acceptable to the audited Party and subject to written confidentiality obligations that are reasonably acceptable to the audited Party to audit, during regular business hours and in a manner that complies with the reasonable building and security requirements of the audited Party and its Affiliates, the books, records and facilities of such audited Party and its Affiliates to the extent reasonably necessary to determine such audited Party’s and its Affiliates’ compliance with this Agreement or (to the extent with respect to this Agreement) the Umbrella Secrecy Agreement. Any audit conducted under this Section 2.13 shall not interfere unreasonably with the operations of such audited Party or any of its Affiliates. The Party requesting the audit shall pay the costs of conducting such audit; provided that if such audit reveals a material breach of this Agreement or (to the extent with respect to this Agreement), the Umbrella Secrecy Agreement, the audited Party shall pay all such costs. Upon conclusion of the audit, the Third Party auditor shall furnish to both Parties a report stating only its findings during such audit as to whether or not the audited Party is in compliance with this Agreement, and if such audit has revealed a breach, shall include no more information than is reasonably necessary to provide the basis for such finding. All information learned or obtained from such audit shall be deemed Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the audited Party may require that the Third Party conducting the audit pursuant to this Section 2.13 be accompanied by the audited Party’s (and in the case of an audit of its Affiliates or Sublicensees, its Affiliate’s or its Sublicensee’s, respectively) representatives at all times during such audit. For clarity, Licensee shall cause its Affiliates that are Sublicensees to comply with this Section 2.13.

ARTICLE III

OWNERSHIP

Section 3.1 Ownership. As between the Parties (including their respective Affiliates), (a) SpecCo acknowledges and agrees that MatCo and its Affiliates own the MatCo Licensed IP, the Intellectual Property licensed to SpecCo under Section 2.3(a), the Business Software licensed to SpecCo under Section 2.5, and the Patents Controlled by MatCo or any of its Affiliates and licensed under Section 2.6, (b) MatCo acknowledges and agrees that SpecCo and its Affiliates own the SpecCo Licensed IP, the Intellectual Property licensed to MatCo under Section 2.3(b) and Section 2.4, the Business Software licensed to MatCo under Section 2.5, and the Patents Controlled by SpecCo or any of its Affiliates and licensed under Section 2.6, and (c) each Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) except to the extent expressly provided herein, neither Party, nor its Affiliates or its Sublicensees, will acquire any ownership rights in the Licensed IP licensed to such Party hereunder, and (ii) such Party shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and its Sublicensees to not, represent or make any claim that they have ownership of any right, title or interest in any such Licensed IP. To the extent that a Party, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees (as applicable) is assigned or otherwise obtains ownership of any right, title or interest in or to any Licensed IP in contravention of this Section 3.1, such Party hereby assigns, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees (as applicable) to assign, to the other Party (or to such Affiliate or Third Party designated by such other Party in writing) all such right, title and interest.

ARTICLE IV

PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE

Section 4.1 Responsibility and Cooperation.

(a) Subject to Section 4.1(b), as between the Parties, Licensor shall have sole responsibility (but not the obligation) for filing, prosecuting and maintaining all Patents within the Licensed IP with respect to which such Licensor or any of its Affiliates is granting a license to Licensee hereunder. Licensor shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such filing, prosecution and maintenance.

(b) If, during the Term, Licensor decides to abandon, or otherwise allow to lapse, any issued SpecCo Licensed Patent (if SpecCo is the Licensor) or MatCo Licensed Patent (if MatCo is the Licensor) or published application therefor, Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Licensee of such decision at least thirty (30) days prior to any deadline for taking action to avoid abandonment (or other loss of rights) of such Patent. Upon receipt of such notice, Licensee shall have the right to elect to assume responsibility for such prosecution and maintenance solely by providing Licensor with written notice of such election within thirty (30) days (or such shorter period requested where the final deadline is in less than thirty (30) days) following such notice from Licensor, and Licensor shall either: (i) withdraw its decision to abandon and continue prosecuting or maintaining such Patent at its expense; or (ii) assign, and hereby does assign, its entire right, title, and interest in such Patent to Licensee at Licensee’s sole cost and expense (provided that, for clarity, Licensee shall not be required to pay any additional consideration to Licensor in exchange for such assignment, but shall be required to reimburse Licensor for its out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with assigning such Patent); provided that, Licensor shall not be in breach of the foregoing if Licensor uses commercially reasonable efforts to notify Licensee of its decision to abandon (or otherwise lose rights) but inadvertently and in good faith fails to so notify Licensee. In the event that Licensor assigns a Licensed Patent to Licensee in accordance with the foregoing clause (ii), such Patent shall no longer be (i) if the Licensor is SpecCo, a SpecCo Licensed Patent and instead shall be a MatCo Non-Exclusively Licensed Patent, for which the applicable SpecCo Non-Exclusive Patent Field shall be all fields of use other than the MatCo Exclusive Patent Field applicable to such Patent (if any), or (ii) if the Licensor is MatCo, a MatCo Licensed Patent and instead shall be a SpecCo Non-Exclusively Licensed Patent, for which the applicable MatCo Non-Exclusive Patent Field shall be all fields of use other than the SpecCo Exclusive Patent Field applicable to such Patent (if any). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that any Licensed Patent is assigned to Licensee pursuant to this Section, such Licensed Patent shall be subject to the terms and conditions of any licenses and other rights granted by or on behalf of Licensor or any of its Affiliates with respect to such Licensed Patent prior to the date of such assignment (to the extent that such terms and conditions do not conflict with any of the terms hereof), and unless otherwise agreed in writing, the assignee Party may abandon such Patent without notice or obligation of assignment to the other Party.

(c) For clarity, Licensor’s obligations under Section 4.1(b) do not apply to the (i) filing or validating of any national or regional applications based on any international or regional Patent applications or filings (including any PCT or EPO applications) whether or not designated under such applications or filings, (ii) filing of any Patent application, including the filing of any divisional, continuation or continuation-in-part application, or (iii) maintaining or prosecuting of any unpublished Patent applications. If any Licensed Patent subject to this Section 4.1 is subject to the terms of any Contract existing as of the Effective Date to which the Licensor or any of its Affiliates is a party or otherwise bound whereby a Third Party has the right to elect to assume responsibility for prosecution or maintenance of, or request assignment of, such Licensed Patent, and such Third Party elects not to exercise all such rights in such Licensed Patent, such Licensed Patent shall become subject to the terms of Section 4.1(b), except if Licensor’s grant of such rights to Licensee, or Licensee’s exercise of such rights, would breach any contractual rights or obligations owed to such Third Party or any of its Affiliates. Licensor shall ensure that all current and future owners of the Licensed Patents are subject to the obligations to assign such Licensed Patents to Licensee contained in this Section 4.1.

(d) Upon the reasonable request of the Party that controls filing, prosecution or maintenance of any Exclusively Licensed IP in accordance with Section 4.1(a) or 4.1(b), the other Party (i.e., the recipient of the exclusive license) shall provide reasonable assistance to such Party in connection with such activities (including by providing information, obtaining signatures and authorizations, and taking such other actions as may be required by applicable Law), and such requesting Party shall reimburse such other Party’s out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection therein. For clarity, neither such other Party nor any of its Affiliates shall be required by the foregoing in this Section 4.1 to take or omit to take any action that it reasonably believes contravenes any applicable Law.

Section 4.2 No Additional Obligations. For clarity, this Agreement shall not obligate either Party to disclose to the other Party, or maintain, register, monitor, prosecute, pay for or offer to pay for (including by offering remuneration to any inventors), defend, enforce or otherwise manage any Intellectual Property, except to the extent expressly set forth herein.

Section 4.3 Third Party Agreements. For clarity, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IV, the Parties’ rights and obligations set forth in this Article IV shall be subject to the terms of any Contracts existing as of the Effective Date to which the Licensor or any of its Affiliates is a party or otherwise bound, subject to the requirements for Licensor to notify Licensee pursuant to Section 2.9.

ARTICLE V

ENFORCEMENT

Section 5.1 Notice. With respect to any Licensed IP, Licensee shall promptly notify Licensor in writing of (a) any Third Party activities that constitute, or would reasonably be expected to constitute, an infringement, misappropriation or other violation within the exclusive field for which Licensee has been granted a license hereunder of any such Licensed IP licensed to Licensee hereunder or (b) any Third Party allegations of invalidity or unenforceability of any Exclusively Licensed IP licensed to Licensee hereunder (each of the foregoing (a) and (b), a “Third Party Infringement”); provided that an attorney in Licensee’s or its Affiliates’ in-house legal department becomes aware of and reasonably believes that such Third Party Infringement may have occurred (provided that, for clarity, Licensee shall have no obligation to independently investigate or conduct any infringement or other analysis of the conduct alleged to constitute a Third Party Infringement) and Licensee reasonably believes that such Third Party Infringement could be material to Licensor.

Section 5.2 Defense and Enforcement.

(a) Licensor First Right. Subject to the remainder of this Section 5.2, as between the Parties, Licensor shall have the first right, but not the obligation, at its own cost and expense, to control enforcement or defense against any Third Party Infringement of the Licensed IP under which Licensor is granting a license to Licensee hereunder (including by bringing an Action or entering into settlement discussions).

(b) Licensee’s Rights.

(i) As between the Parties, Licensee shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its own cost and expense, to control enforcement or defense against any Third Party Infringement of the Exclusively Licensed IP with respect to which Licensee is granted a license hereunder (including by bringing an Action or entering into settlement discussions) if (1) Licensor provides Licensee with written notice that it is not exercising its right to control enforcement of such Exclusively Licensed IP (as described in Section 5.2(a)) and that Licensee may do so at its option, or (2) Licensor fails to initiate, or file the relevant response to, the Action (if any), or commence settlement discussions, with respect to the applicable Third Party Infringement prior to or upon the earlier of (A) expiration of the one hundred eighty (180) day period following first receipt by either Party of notice from the other Party of such Third Party Infringement or (B) ten (10) Business Days prior to the deadline for filing, or filing the applicable response to, such Action (if any). Licensor shall use commercially reasonably efforts to notify Licensee of a decision not to exercise its right to control enforcement or defense, as applicable, with respect to any Exclusively Licensed IP, but shall have no liability for any good faith, inadvertent failure to so notify Licensee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee shall not have any right to control such enforcement or defense pursuant to the foregoing if Licensor provides Licensee with written notice that it is not exercising its right to control enforcement or defense, as applicable, of such Licensed IP (as described in Section 5.2(a)) and that it has reasonably determined in good faith that the Licensed IP should not be enforced or defended at such time, and provides Licensee an opportunity to discuss such reasoning in good faith with Licensor.

(ii) In the case of any infringement, misappropriation, or other violation, or any Third Party allegations of invalidity or unenforceability, of any Licensed IP non-exclusively licensed to Licensee hereunder, Licensee may request (which request Licensor may deny if Licensor reasonably determines that such Licensed IP should not be enforced or defended, and discusses its reasoning therefor with Licensee) that Licensor enforce or defend (as applicable) such Licensed IP (including by bringing an Action or entering into settlement discussions), and if such request is granted, such enforcement or defense (as applicable) shall be controlled by Licensor at Licensee’s sole cost and expense.

(c) Cooperation. If the Party controlling enforcement or defense of any Licensed IP against any Third Party Infringement in accordance with Section 5.2(a) or 5.2(b) (such Party, the “Controlling Party”) brings an Action or enters into settlement discussions with respect thereto, the other Party shall provide reasonable assistance in connection therewith, at the Controlling Party’s request and such other Party shall be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. The Controlling Party shall keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement or defense, as applicable, and shall reasonably consider the other Party’s comments in connection with any Action or settlement discussions with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, such other Party may, at its sole discretion and cost and expense, join as a party to any such Action; provided that, if necessary for standing purposes, such Party shall join such Action upon the Controlling Party’s reasonable request and the Controlling Party shall reimburse the other Party’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Such other Party shall have the right to be represented by counsel (which shall act in an advisory capacity only, except for matters solely directed to such Party) of its own choice in any such Action at its own cost and expense (subject to reimbursement of such other Party’s costs and expenses as described in, and subject to, the immediately preceding sentence). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of enforcement or defense in accordance with Section 5.2(b)(ii), the Party that is not the Controlling Party shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 5.2(c).

(d) Settlements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Controlling Party shall not, without the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the other Party, settle any Third Party Infringement (i) with respect to the Exclusively Licensed IP, if doing so would (a) adversely affect the validity, enforceability or scope, or admit non-infringement, of any such Exclusively Licensed IP that such other Party or its Affiliates are licensing to the Controlling Party hereunder or (b) specifically or by operation of law, grant or waive any of the Controlling Party’s rights under any such Exclusively Licensed IP within the field that the Controlling Party or its Affiliates are granting an exclusive license to the other Party hereunder or (ii) with respect to any Licensed IP, if doing so would give rise to liability or any other obligations of such other Party, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees for which the Controlling Party is unwilling or unable to, or otherwise does not, provide full indemnification.

(e) Recoveries. Any and all amounts recovered by the Controlling Party in any Action regarding a Third Party Infringement or settlement with respect thereto shall, unless otherwise agreed (including in an agreement in connection with obtaining consent to settlement), be allocated first to reimburse the Controlling Party’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Action or settlement (including its obligations to the other Party pursuant to Section 5.2(c)) and next to the other Party’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Action or settlement. Any and all remaining amounts recovered shall be (i) allocated proportionally between the Parties (provided that the Third Party

Infringement to which such recovery relates is of the Exclusively Licensed IP and within the exclusive field in which the applicable Licensee is granted a license hereunder) based on the impact of such Third Party Infringement on each Party’s relevant field of use or (ii) retained by the Controlling Party (provided that, for purposes of this clause (ii), the Third Party Infringement to which such recovery relates is not of the Exclusively Licensed IP within the exclusive field in which the applicable Licensee is granted a license hereunder).

(f) Interferences, etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article IV or this Article V, in the event that any Third Party allegations of invalidity or unenforceability of any Patents included in the Licensed IP licensed to Licensee hereunder arise in an opposition, interference, reissue proceeding, reexamination or other patent office proceeding, Article IV shall govern the Parties’ rights and obligations with respect thereto.

Section 5.3 Third Party Agreements. For clarity, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article V, the Parties’ rights and obligations set forth in this Article V shall be subject to the terms of any Contracts existing as of the Effective Date to which the Licensor or any of its Affiliates is a party or otherwise bound, subject to the requirements for Licensor to notify Licensee pursuant to Section 2.9.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.1 Indemnification.

(a) Each Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify, release, defend and hold harmless the other Party and its Affiliates and its and their directors, officers, agents, and successors (each, an “Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses incurred or suffered by any of the Indemnitees, to the extent arising out of, relating to or resulting from (a) breach by the Indemnifying Party of this Agreement; (b) if the Indemnifying Party is the Licensee, use of the Licensed IP hereunder by or on behalf of such Party or its Sublicensees; and (c) if the Indemnifying Party is the Licensor, breach by or on behalf of Licensee, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees of any contractual rights of or contractual obligations owed to any Third Parties with respect to the Licensed IP; provided that, prior to such breach, Licensor or any of its Affiliates is aware, and Licensee and its Affiliates are not aware, of such contractual rights or obligations, in each case (in respect of the foregoing subsections (a) through (c)), except to the extent that such Indemnifiable Losses (i) are subject to indemnification by the other Party pursuant to this Section 6.1 or (ii) arise out of fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the other Party or its Affiliates.

(b) Except for the entitlement to specific performance or other equitable remedy, each solely as contemplated by Section 10.12, the remedies provided in this Section 6.1 shall be deemed the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and the Parties each hereby waive to the extent permitted by applicable Law any other remedy to which they or any of their respective Indemnitees are entitled to hereunder at law or in equity with respect thereto.

Section 6.2 Indemnification Procedures. The indemnification procedures set forth in Sections 8.5 through 8.10 of the Separation Agreement shall apply to the matters indemnified hereunder, mutatis mutandis.

Section 6.3 Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties. EACH PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE SEPARATION AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OF THE OTHER ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS, EACH OF SPECCO (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH MEMBER OF THE SPECCO GROUP) AND MATCO (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH MEMBER OF THE MATCO GROUP) UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT NEITHER PARTY IS REPRESENTING OR WARRANTING IN ANY WAY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY CONSENTS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, VALIDITY, ENFORCEABILITY OR SCOPE OF THE LICENSED IP) AND EACH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. EXCEPT AS MAY EXPRESSLY BE SET FORTH IN THE SEPARATION AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, ALL LICENSED IP IS BEING LICENSED ON AN “AS IS,” “WHERE IS,” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” BASIS.

Section 6.4 Limitation on Liability. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THIS ARTICLE VI), EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO BREACHES OF ARTICLE VII, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY) OR OTHERWISE, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, AND “LOSSES” SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY AMOUNTS FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; PROVIDED THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL PREVENT ANY INDEMNITEE FROM BEING INDEMNIFIED PURSUANT TO ARTICLE VI FOR ALL COMPONENTS OF AWARDS AGAINST THEM IN ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIM.

ARTICLE VII

CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 7.1 Disclosure and Use Restrictions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Umbrella Secrecy Agreement is hereby incorporated into this Agreement, and shall apply to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, mutatis mutandis. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee’s material breach of the Umbrella Secrecy Agreement with respect to Confidential Information shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

TERM

The terms of the licenses and other grants of rights (and related obligations) under this Agreement (the “Term”) shall remain in effect (a) to the extent with respect to the Patents licensed hereunder and Licensed Copyrights, on a Patent-by-Patent and Licensed Copyright-by-Licensed Copyright basis, until expiration, invalidation or abandonment of such Licensed Patent or Licensed Copyright (as applicable), (b) to the extent with respect to any Licensed Know-How, until such Licensed Know-How no longer constitutes Confidential Information; provided that, after expiration of the Term with respect to any Licensed Know-How, the licenses granted hereunder to such Know-How shall survive such expiration in perpetuity, and (c) with respect to Business Software and SpecCo Licensed Standards, in perpetuity. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary herein, the licenses granted in Section 2.3 and rights and obligations of the Parties to the extent with respect thereto shall terminate on a Product-by-Product basis upon termination of the applicable Manufacturing Product Agreement with respect to such Product.

Section 8.3 Patent Challenge.

(a) Patent Challenge Notice. In the event of a Patent Challenge by Licensee or any of its Affiliates against any MatCo Scheduled Licensed Patents (if Licensor is MatCo) or SpecCo Scheduled Licensed Patents (if Licensor is SpecCo), Licensee shall notify Licensor promptly (but in no event more than ten (10) Business Days) after Licensee’s general counsel or chief patent counsel (or if such position does not exist, any of Licensee’s or its Affiliates’ employees with substantially similar or greater seniority, and responsibilities that include substantially similar responsibilities) first learns of such Patent Challenge (and if Licensor has not already been notified by Licensee of such Patent Challenge, Licensor shall use reasonable efforts to provide written notice to Licensee if Licensor’s chief patent counsel (or if such position does not exist, any of Licensor’s or its Affiliates’ employees with substantially similar or greater seniority, and responsibilities that include substantially similar responsibilities) knows such Patent Challenge has been filed) (each notice provided by either Party in accordance with this Section 8.3(a), the “Patent Challenge Notice”). Upon a Licensee Challenge Executive learning of such a Patent Challenge or, if earlier, upon receipt of a Patent Challenge Notice in the event that such Patent Challenge Notice is provided by Licensor, Licensee shall promptly take all steps necessary (in accordance with applicable Law) to withdraw or have withdrawn such Patent Challenge.

(b) Discussion Process. In the event of a Patent Challenge by Licensee or any of its Affiliates against any MatCo Scheduled Licensed Patents (if Licensor is MatCo) or SpecCo Scheduled Licensed Patents (if Licensor is SpecCo), without limiting Licensee’s obligations in Section 8.3(a), following Licensee’s written request (provided such request is made no more than ten (10) Business Days after the Patent Challenge Notice is provided to either Party) (each such request, the “Discussion Notice”), each Party shall commence the escalation process set forth in Sections 8.3(b)(i) through 8.3(b)(ii) below (the “Escalation Process”).

(i) Within ten (10) Business Days of Licensor’s receipt of the Discussion Notice from Licensee, each Party’s respective presidents of any business unit or division to which the Patent Challenge relates (or if such position does not exist, any of Licensee’s or its Affiliates’ employees with substantially similar or greater seniority, and responsibilities that include substantially similar responsibilities) and general counsels will commence discussions (which, for clarity, may be in person or via videoconference or teleconference) that will last for a period of no more than fifteen (15) Business Days (unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties) (the period of such discussions, the “Initial Executive Officer Escalation Period”) regarding the Patent Challenge.

(ii) Following completion of the Initial Executive Officer Escalation Period, either Party may, on written notice (“Escalation Notice”) to the other Party within five (5) Business Days of expiration of the Initial Executive Officer Escalation Period, submit such matter for discussion by their respective chief executive officers. Such chief executive officers shall commence discussions regarding the applicable Patent Challenge (which, for clarity, may be in person or via videoconference or teleconference) within ten (10) Business Days of the Escalation Notice, and such discussions will last for no more than ten (10) Business Days (unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties) (the period of such discussions, the “CEO Escalation Period”).

(iii) All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the Escalation Process by any of the Parties or their Affiliates, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the Parties or any of their Affiliates and, in any Action, shall be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state or foreign rule, and evidence of such discussions shall not be admissible in any future Action between the Parties, any of their Affiliates and/or any Indemnitee; provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the negotiation or discussion.

(i) For purposes of this Section 8.3:

(1) “Inadvertent Patent Challenge” means each Patent Challenge by Licensee or its Affiliates that (i) none of the Licensee Challenge Executives approved prior to or at the time of the filing of the Patent Challenge or (ii) none of the Licensee Challenge Executives that approved such Patent Challenge had actual knowledge at the time of the filing of such Patent Challenge that the applicable MatCo Scheduled Licensed Patent or SpecCo Scheduled Licensed Patent, as the case may be, was subject to the terms of this Section 8.3. All Patent Challenges are presumed to be Inadvertent Patent Challenges absent clear and convincing evidence otherwise.

(2) “Licensee Challenge Executives” means (i) Licensee’s chief patent counsel, (ii) the president of any business unit or division to which the Patent Challenge relates, (iii) any executive officer of Licensee or (iv) any executive officer of the ultimate parent entity of any member of Licensee’s Group at the time of such Patent Challenge (or, in each case of the foregoing (i) through (iv), if any such positions do not exist, any of Licensee’s or its Affiliates’ employees with substantially similar or greater seniority, and responsibilities that include substantially similar responsibilities).

(ii) In the case of an Inadvertent Patent Challenge, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, Sections 8.3(c)(ii)(1) through 8.3(c)(ii)(4) below shall apply if and only if (x) Licensee has failed to withdraw, or have withdrawn, the Patent Challenge in accordance with Section 8.3(a) (provided that such failure is a result of any Laws or other rules of any Governmental Entity or registrar with which such Patent Challenge was filed that preclude such withdrawal, and not attributable in any respect to any delay (or other act or omission that could reasonably be anticipated to preclude such withdrawal) within the reasonable control of Licensee) and (y) if requested by Licensor and solely to the extent permitted by applicable Law, as soon as reasonably practicable, Licensee submits (or has submitted) documentation to the applicable Governmental Entity or registrar retracting the arguments made in such Patent Challenge; provided, that, if Licensee has provided a Discussion Notice to Licensor in accordance with Section 8.3(b), Licensor shall not exercise any of its rights or remedies set forth in Sections 8.3(c)(ii)(1) through 8.3(c)(ii)(4) until (1) the CEO Escalation Period expires if an Escalation Notice is provided in accordance with Section 8.3(b)(ii) in respect of such Patent Challenge or (2) the Initial Executive Officer Escalation Period expires if an Escalation Notice is not provided in accordance with Section 8.3(b)(ii) in respect of such Patent Challenge.

(1) In the case of the first such Inadvertent Patent Challenge (if any), Licensee shall pay Licensor fifty-million dollars ($50,000,000) in liquidated damages, and Licensor may, at its option, terminate this Agreement to the extent with respect to any and all licenses and rights granted under this Agreement to such Licensee or any of its Affiliates, or convert to non-exclusive any and all exclusive licenses granted under this Agreement to such Licensee or any of its Affiliates, with respect to all MatCo Patent Fields (if MatCo is the Licensee) or SpecCo Patent Fields (if SpecCo is Licensee) for which any and all Licensed Patents that are the subject of such Patent Challenge are licensed to such Licensee or any of its Affiliates hereunder (including, for clarity, the licenses and rights to any and all other Patents licensed to such Licensee and its Affiliates to the extent in such MatCo Patent Fields or SpecCo Patent Fields, as applicable).

(2) In the case of the second such Inadvertent Patent Challenge (if any), Licensee shall pay Licensor one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) in liquidated damages, and Licensor may, at its option, terminate this Agreement to the extent with respect to any and all licenses and rights granted under this Agreement to such Licensee or any of its Affiliates, or convert to non-exclusive any and all exclusive licenses granted under this Agreement to such Licensee or any of its Affiliates, with respect to all MatCo Patent Fields (if MatCo is Licensee) or SpecCo Patent Fields (if SpecCo is Licensee) for which any and all Licensed Patents that are the subject of such Patent Challenge are licensed to such Licensee or any of its Affiliates hereunder (including, for clarity, the licenses and rights to any and all other Patents licensed to such Licensee and its Affiliates to the extent in such MatCo Patent Fields or SpecCo Patent Fields, as applicable).

(3) In the case of the third such Inadvertent Patent Challenge (if any), or to the extent Licensor has not exercised all of its rights expressly set forth in this Section 8.3(c), any Patent Challenge after the third such Inadvertent Patent Challenge), Licensor shall have the right to terminate this Agreement to the extent with respect to any and all licenses and rights granted under this Agreement to such Licensee or any of its Affiliates with respect to Patents, or convert to non-exclusive any or all exclusive licenses to the Licensed Patents granted under this Agreement to such Licensee or any of its Affiliates.

(4) Licensee shall pay amounts described in the foregoing subsections (1) and (2) (such amounts, the “Patent Challenge Liquidated Damages”) to Licensor within twenty (20) Business Days of Licensor’s written notice that it is exercising its rights under such subsection, and such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated in writing by Licensor. The Parties intend that the Patent Challenge Liquidated Damages constitute compensation, and not a penalty. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the harm to Licensor and its Affiliates caused by a Patent Challenge would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate as of the Effective Date, and that the Patent Challenge Liquidated Damages are a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual harm that might arise from one or more Patent Challenges. Licensee’s payment of the Patent Challenge Liquidated Damages, together with the other remedies set forth in this Section 8.3, are Licensee’s sole liability and entire obligation and Licensor’s exclusive remedies for each such Patent Challenge as described herein.

(d) Other Patent Challenges. Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Parties, in the case of (i) any Inadvertent Patent Challenge for which Sections 8.3(c)(ii)(1) through 8.3(c)(ii)(4) do not apply (including, for clarity, any Inadvertent Patent Challenge for which Licensee does not comply with Section 8.3(a)) or (ii) any Patent Challenge that is not an Inadvertent Patent Challenge, in respect of the foregoing (i) and (ii), Licensor may, at Licensor’s option, (x) terminate this Agreement to the extent with respect to any and all licenses and rights granted to Licensee or any of its Affiliates hereunder with respect to Patents or (y) convert to non-exclusive any and all exclusive licenses to the Licensed Patents granted to Licensee or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement; provided that, if Licensee has provided a Discussion Notice to Licensor in accordance with Section 8.3(b), Licensor shall not exercise any of its rights or remedies set forth in this Section 8.3(d) until (x) the CEO Escalation Period expires if an Escalation Notice is provided in accordance with Section 8.3(b)(ii) in respect of such Patent Challenge or (y) the Initial Executive Officer Escalation Period expires if an Escalation Notice is not provided in accordance with Section 8.3(b)(ii) in respect of such Patent Challenge.

(e) Effects of Termination. Upon any termination by Licensor pursuant to this Section 8.3, (i) any and all sublicenses that have been granted to a Sublicensee with respect to the licenses and rights that have been terminated (such licenses, the “Terminated Licenses”) shall automatically terminate and (ii) Licensee shall, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and Sublicensees, immediately cease use of all Licensed IP under the Terminated Licenses. For clarity, in the event that a Licensor elects to terminate this Agreement with respect to all licenses granted by such Licensor to Licensee under this Section 8.3, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to all licenses granted to such terminating Licensor by such terminated Licensee.

(f) For avoidance of doubt, Licensor may not terminate any licenses or rights granted to Licensee or any of its Affiliates hereunder or convert to non-exclusive any exclusive licenses if Licensee complies with Section 8.3(a) with respect to an Inadvertent Patent Challenge, and such Inadvertent Patent Challenge is withdrawn.

ARTICLE IX

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 9.1 Negotiation and Arbitration. In the event of a controversy, dispute or Action between the Parties arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including with respect to the interpretation, performance, nonperformance, validity or breach thereof, and including any Action based on contract, tort, statute or constitution, including the arbitrability of such controversy, dispute or Action, the procedures as set forth in Article X of the Separation Agreement shall apply, mutatis mutandis.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.1 Complete Agreement; Construction. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules, together with the Separation Agreement, the Umbrella Secrecy Agreement and other Ancillary Agreements, shall constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede all previous negotiations, commitments, course of dealings and writings with respect to such subject matter. In the case of any ambiguity or conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Separation Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Separation Agreement shall take precedence (unless in this Agreement, any such conflicting provision is specifically and expressly agreed by the Parties to take precedence for the limited purposes of this Agreement).

Section 10.2 Assignment.

(a) Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations of a Party under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by such Party without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent may be granted or withheld in such other Party’s sole discretion); provided however, that such first Party (i) may assign, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, any of the foregoing to one or more of its Affiliates and (ii) may assign, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, any of the foregoing to the successor to all or a portion of the business or assets to which this Agreement relates; provided that, (x) the assigning Party shall promptly notify the non-assigning Party in writing of any assignments it makes under Section 10.2(a)(ii) and (y) in either case of (i) or (ii), the party to whom this Agreement is assigned shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if named as a “Party” hereto with respect to all or such portion of this Agreement so assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Party exercises its rights in accordance with the foregoing to assign this Agreement, in part or in whole, to a Non-Practicing Entity, and such assignment is a bona fide assignment, the Parties’ rights and obligations set forth in Section 8.3 to the extent with respect to such assignment to such Non-Practicing Entity shall have no force and effect (and, for clarity, any attempt to assign this Agreement, in part or in whole, to any Non-Practicing Entity with the intent to subsequently assign to any Person that is not a Non-Practicing Entity to circumvent Section 8.3 shall be void ab initio).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i) in the event that a Party assigns or otherwise transfers its rights and obligations with respect to a Manufacturing Product Agreement to another Person in accordance with the terms thereof, the licenses set forth in Sections 2.1(d), 2.2(d), 2.3(a) and 2.3(b) (as applicable), together with any other provisions herein to the extent related thereto, may be assigned or otherwise transferred to such Third Party without the other Party’s consent; and

(ii) MatCo may not assign any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement with respect to the SpecCo Licensed Standards to any Third Party without the prior written consent of SpecCo, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (but may assign this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.2(a) without such consent with respect to Local Standards, together with any SpecCo Licensed Standards, solely as and to the extent incorporated into and/or reasonably necessary to use such Local Standards as of the date of such assignment (“Designated SpecCo Standards”)); provided that in the event that SpecCo does not provide such consent, any Third Party to which MatCo assigns any right or obligation in accordance with Section 10.2(a)(ii) shall be, and hereby is, granted a transitional license with respect to the SpecCo Licensed Standards (other than the Designated SpecCo Standards) as follows: such assignee may continue to use under this Agreement such SpecCo Licensed Standards used by Licensee or the relevant site, facility and/or portion of the Materials Science Business prior to the applicable transaction for a transitional period of up to twelve (12) months to the extent reasonably necessary to transition to alternative technology (provided that such transitional period may be extended upon reasonable request subject to the prior written consent of SpecCo, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), if such assignee agrees in writing that:

(1) The SpecCo Licensed Standards shall be treated as Confidential Information of SpecCo under terms at least as restrictive as the terms in the Umbrella Secrecy Agreement;

(2) The SpecCo Licensed Standards shall be used only within and for the support of the transferred business, site or facility and shall be shared only with Persons who have a reasonable need to know them for that purpose; and

(3) No later than the end of the transitional period, all copies of the SpecCo Licensed Standards in the possession of the transferred business, site or facility shall be destroyed; provided that, for clarity, destruction of such SpecCo Licensed Standards shall not be required with respect to Designated SpecCo Standards otherwise licensed pursuant to the portion of the Agreement assigned. On request by SpecCo, the affected business, site or facility shall confirm that the required destruction has occurred.

(c) Any assignment or other disposition in violation of this Section 10.2 shall be void. No assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement that accrued prior to such assignment unless agreed to by the non-assigning Party.

Section 10.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission, such as by electronic mail in “pdf” form) in more than one counterpart, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, and shall become effective when signed by each of the Parties and delivered to each of the Parties.

Section 10.4 Notices. All notices and other communications to be given to any Party under this Agreement shall be sufficiently given for all purposes hereunder if in writing and delivered by hand, courier or overnight delivery service, or five (5) days after being mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, with appropriate postage prepaid, or electronically mailed (with a response confirming receipt), and shall be directed to the address set forth below (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 10.4):

Section 10.5 Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be waived, if and only if, such waiver is in writing and signed by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver hereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. Any consent required or permitted to be given by any Party to any other Party under this Agreement shall be in writing and signed by the Party giving such consent and shall be effective only against such Party (and the members of its Group).

Section 10.6 Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by each of the Parties.

Section 10.7 Affiliates. Each of the Parties shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by any Affiliate of such Party.

Section 10.8 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article VI relating to Indemnitees, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of, and is only enforceable by, the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns and should not be deemed to confer upon Third Parties any remedy, benefit, claim, liability, reimbursement, claim of Action or other right of any nature whatsoever, in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

Section 10.9 Title and Headings. Titles and headings to sections herein are inserted for the convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 10.10 Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein.

Section 10.11 Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising out of, in connection with or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

Section 10.12 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable harm would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform any provision of this Agreement in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise breach this Agreement and the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any such non-performance or breach. Accordingly, in the event of any actual or threatened default in or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the Parties agree that the Party or Parties to this Agreement who are or are to be thereby aggrieved shall, subject and pursuant to the terms of this Article X (including for the avoidance of doubt, after compliance with all notice and negotiation provisions herein), have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its or their rights under this Agreement in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The Parties agree that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is hereby waived, and that any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived.

Section 10.13 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid, legal and enforceable provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 10.14 No Duplication; No Double Recovery. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer to or impose upon any Party a duplicative right, entitlement, obligation or recovery with respect to any matter arising out of the same facts and circumstances.

Section 10.15 Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by a Licensor are, and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Bankruptcy Code regardless of the form or type of intellectual property under or to which such rights and licenses are granted and regardless of whether the intellectual property is registered in or otherwise recognized by or applicable to the United States of America or any other country or jurisdiction. The Parties agree that each Licensee will retain and may fully exercise all of their rights and elections under the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against a Party under the United States Bankruptcy Code, the Party hereto that is not a party to such proceeding will be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which, if not already in the non-subject Party’s possession, will be promptly delivered to it (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon the non-subject Party’s written request therefore, unless the Party subject to such proceeding continues to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement or (b) if not delivered under clause (a) above, following the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of the Party subject to such proceeding upon written request therefore by the non-subject Party.
