ARTICLE 2
LICENSE GRANT
2.1 License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Emory hereby grants to Achillion an exclusive, royalty-bearing, worldwide, right and license under the Emory Subject Technology to develop, make, have made, use, market, import, have imported, Sell, offer for Sale and have Sold any and all Licensed Products in the field and in the Territory during the Term of the Agreement. Emory grants to Achillion only the qualified right to grant sublicenses as more fully described in Section 2.3. No other rights or licenses are granted.
2.2 Retained Rights. The License is exclusive, except that Emory retains, on behalf of itself and any academic research collaborators, the right and license to, and may permit other nonprofit organizations to, make and use Licensed Products and practice Emory Subject Technology for educational and research purposes only, it being understood that the provisions of this Section 2.2 do not imply, and Achillion does not grant, any right or license to use or practice any technology that is proprietary to Achillion or third parties.
2.3 Sublicense Rights. Achillion shall have the right to enter into sublicenses (each a “Sublicense”) relating to the license granted in Section 2.1 with third parties (each a “Sublicensee”) with which Achillion has agreed to develop and/or commercialize Licensed Products, provided however, that for each Sublicense grant (a) to a Sublicensee having a market capitalization of greater than [**] dollars ($[**]), Achillion shall give prompt written notice to Emory, and (b) to a Sublicensee having a market capitalization of less than [**] dollars ($[**]), Achillion shall first obtain Emory’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each such Sublicense shall be subject and subordinate to, and consistent with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and shall provide that any such Sublicensees shall not further sublicense except on terms consistent with this Agreement. Achillion shall include in any Sublicense agreement provisions requiring the Sublicensee to abide by the confidentiality obligations herein, indemnify Emory and maintain
-7-
insurance to the same extent that Achillion is so required pursuant to Sections 4.1, 8.4.1 and 8.6 of this Agreement. Achillion shall provide Emory with a copy of any Sublicense granted pursuant to this Section 2.3 within thirty (30) days after the execution thereof. Such copy may be redacted to exclude confidential scientific information and other information required by a Sublicensee to be kept confidential, provided that all relevant financial terms and information shall be retained. Achillion shall remain responsible for the performance of its Sublicensees (including, without limitation, the payment of all fees and royalties due hereunder regardless of whether or not a Sublicensee pays Achillion such amounts), and shall ensure that any such Sublicensees comply with the relevant provisions of this Agreement. In the event of a material default by any Sublicensee under a Sublicense agreement, Achillion will inform Emory and take such action, after consultation with Emory, which in Achillion’s reasonable business judgment will address such default. Achillion shall not grant any rights which are inconsistent with the rights granted to and obligations of Achillion hereunder. Any act or omission of a Sublicensee which would be a breach of this Agreement if performed or made by Achillion shall be deemed to be a breach by such Sublicensee. In addition, if Achillion grants a Sublicense to any third party (other than an Affiliate) with which Achillion also enters into a distribution agreement relating to a Licensed Product, the economic terms of the Sublicense agreement and the distribution agreement must each reflect arm’s-length pricing and Emory shall have the right to withhold its approval of such Sublicense if such agreements do not reflect arm’s-length pricing.
2.4 Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to any section of this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be, deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(35A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties shall retain and may fully exercise all of their respective rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code.
-8-
2.5 No Implied License. The License shall not be construed to confer any rights upon Achillion by implication, estoppel, or otherwise as to any technology not specifically identified in this Agreement as Emory Subject Technology.
2.6 Government Rights. The license granted in Section 2.1 above is conditional upon and subject to the U.S. Government Licenses and other rights retained by the United States in inventions developed by nonprofit institutions with the support of federal funds. These rights are set forth in 35 ▇▇▇▇ §▇▇▇ et seq. and 37 CFR 401 et seq., which may be amended from time to time by the Congress of the United States or through administrative procedures.

Should a Licensed Product be abandoned by Achillion, its Affiliates or Sublicensees for any reason following achievement of one or more, but not all, of the clinical milestones above and
-9-
should Achillion, its Affiliates or Sublicensees subsequently develop another Licensed Product, then the remaining unpaid clinical milestone payments achieved with respect to subsequent Licensed Product under this Section 3.2 shall be payable to Emory upon achievement of such clinical milestones with respect to such subsequent Licensed Product; provided that the clinical milestone payments above shall never be payable more than once, regardless of how many Licensed Products are developed.
Achillion shall be entitled to credit any amounts paid by Achillion under this Section 3.2 against all payments payable by Achillion under the first sentence of Section 3.7.
3.3 License Maintenance Payments. To ensure Achillion’s continued development and commercialization of Licensed Products, Achillion shall make license maintenance payments to Emory as provided in this Section 3.3 in the event that none of the clinical milestones described in Section 3.2 are achieved.

| 3.4.2 | Length of Payments. The royalty payable under this Section 3.4 and the payments payable under Section 3.7 shall be paid on a country-by-country basis on each Licensed Product during the Term. |
| 3.4.3 | Required Third Party Payments. In the event that Achillion’s outside patent counsel together with Emory’s outside patent counsel agree that the development, making, having made, use, marketing, importation, having imported, Selling, offering for Sale or having Sold of a Licensed Product in a country by Achillion, its Affiliates and/or Sublicensees is covered by claims of third party patent rights (including pending patent applications), then Achillion shall be entitled to deduct [**] percent ([**]%) of any license fees incurred by Achillion to obtain a license under such third party patent rights with respect to such Licensed Product in such country |
-11-
| (other than fees paid to Yale University or Vion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which shall not be deductible) from the Calendar Quarterly royalty payments made by Achillion in respect of Net Sales of the Licensed Product in such country; provided that in no event shall a deduction under this Section 3.4.3 reduce any Calendar Quarterly royalty payment made by Achillion in respect of Net Sales of a Licensed Product in a country by more than [**] percent ([**]%). Any deduction that is not usable pursuant to the final clause of the immediately preceding sentence may be carried forward for use in a future period. |
| 3.4.4 | Combination Product Royalties. In the event a Licensed Product is sold as part of a Combination Product (as defined below), the Net Sales from the Combination Product, for the purposes of determining royalty payments, shall be determined by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product (as defined in the standard Net Sales definition), during the applicable royalty reporting period, by the fraction, A/(A+B), where A is the average sale price of the Licensed Product when sold separately in finished form and B is the average sale price of the other product(s) included in the Combination Product when sold separately in finished form, in each case during the applicable royalty reporting period or, if sales of both the Licensed Product and the other product(s) did not occur in such period, then in the most recent royalty reporting period in which sales of both occurred. In the event that such average sale price cannot be determined for both the Licensed Product and all other products(s) |
-12-
| included in the Combination Product, Net Sales for the purposes of determining royalty payments shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction of C/(C+D) where C is the fair market value of the Licensed Product and D is the fair market value of all other pharmaceutical product(s) included in the Combination Product. In such event, Achillion shall in good faith make a determination of the respective fair market values of the Licensed Product and all other pharmaceutical products included in the Combination Product, and shall notify Emory of such determination and provide Emory with data to support such determination. |
As used above, the term “Combination Product” means any pharmaceutical product which consists of a Licensed Product and other active compounds and/or active ingredients.
| 3.4.5 | Royalties Payable Only Once. The obligation to pay royalties is imposed only once with respect to the same unit of a Licensed Product Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that there shall be no deductions from the royalties payable under this Agreement. |
| 3.4.6 | Sales to Affiliates. Sales of Licensed Products between Achillion and its Affiliates, or among such Affiliates, shall not be subject to royalties under this Section 3.4, but in such cases the royalties shall be calculated on the Net Sales by such Affiliates to a third party purchaser. |
-13-
| 3.4.7 | Reports and Accounting. |
| 3.4.7.1 | Reports; Payments. Achillion shall deliver to Emory, within [**] after the end of each Calendar Quarter, a written report covering separately Achillion, its Affiliates and Sublicenses and setting forth for the preceding Calendar Quarter a reasonably detailed accounting of (a) Net Sales of Licensed Products that are subject to royalty payments due to Emory under this Section 3.4 for such Calendar Quarter and (b) amounts payable under Section 3.7 for such Calendar Quarter, for (i) all Sales of Licensed Products on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis; (ii) the calculation of all payments due hereunder from such Sales; (iii) the exchange rate, if applicable, used in determining the U.S. dollar amounts payable hereunder. When Achillion delivers such reports to Emory, Achillion shall also deliver all payments due under this Section 3.4 and under Section 3.7 to Emory for the Calendar Quarter. With respect to Sales of products invoiced in U.S. dollars, the Sales and payments due hereunder shall be expressed in U.S. dollars. With respect to Sales of products invoiced in a currency other than U.S. dollars, Sales amounts shall first be expressed in their foreign currency and then converted to their U.S. dollar equivalent, calculated using the applicable conversion rates for buying United States dollars published by The Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the Calendar Quarter to which the royalty report relates. |
-14-
| 3.4.7.2 | Audits by Emory. During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, Achillion shall keep, and shall require its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep, complete and accurate records of all Sales in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and in sufficient detail to enable royalty and other payments required hereunder to be readily and accurately determined. For the sole purpose of verifying payments due to ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right annually at Emory’s expense to retain an independent certified public accountant selected by Emory and reasonably acceptable to Achillion, to review such records in the location(s) where such records are maintained by Achillion, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees upon reasonable notice and during regular business hours and under obligations of confidence. Results of such review shall be made available to both Emory and Achillion. If the review reflects an underpayment of royalties to Emory, such underpayment shall be immediately remitted to Emory, together with interest calculated in the manner provided in Section 3.5 below. If the underpayment is equal to or greater than seven percent (7%) of the total amount owed to Emory for the calendar year being reviewed, Achillion shall reimburse Emory for [**] of the independent public account performing the audit. Each |
-15-
| Sublicense agreement shall include an audit right by Emory of the same scope as provided above. |
3.5 Currency and Method of Payments; Late Payments. All payments under this Agreement shall be made in U.S. dollars by transfer to such bank account as Emory may designate from time to time as follows: (i) for all payments due under Sections 3.4 and 3.7, on the date the corresponding report is due in accordance with Section 3.4.7.1; and (ii) for all other amounts due hereunder, within [**] after the due date specified herein or, in the case of expenses invoiced in accordance with Section 6.2, the date Achillion receives Emory’s invoice. In the event Emory fails to designate a bank account, Achillion may remit payment to Emory to the address applicable for the receipt of notices hereunder. Any payments due under Sections 3.4 and 3.7 with respect to Sales outside of the United States shall be payable in their U.S. dollar equivalents, calculated using the applicable conversion rates for buying U.S. dollars as published by The Wall Street Journal for the last business day of the Calendar Quarter for which the payments are payable. Achillion shall pay interest to Emory on the aggregate amount of any payments that are not paid on or before the date such payments are due under this Agreement at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) above the prime rate in effect as published in The Wall Street Journal on the date the payment is due, or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent. The payment of such interest shall not foreclose Emory from exercising any other rights it may have because any payment is overdue.
3.6 Tax Withholding. The Parties shall use all reasonable and legal efforts to reduce tax withholding on payments made to Emory. Notwithstanding such efforts, if Achillion concludes that tax withholdings under the laws of any country are required with respect to
-16-
payments to Emory, Achillion shall pay to Emory such additional amounts as may be necessary so that Emory will receive, after deduction for such withholding taxes, the amount that Emory would have received in the absence of such withholding taxes. The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith to provide one another with such documents and certifications as are reasonably necessary to enable Achillion to minimize any withholding tax obligations.
3.7 Sublicense Fees. In the event Achillion enters into a Sublicense with one or more Sublicensees that are not Affiliates of Achillion, Achillion shall pay to Emory [**] percent ([**]%) of the gross amounts received by Achillion in consideration for such Sublicense including any non-cash payments or equity issued to Achillion by the Sublicensee, but not including royalties on Sales by the Sublicensee, bona fide payments for research and development from the Sublicensee, or amounts received for securities of Achillion sold to the Sublicensee at fair market value, in connection with the Sublicense. The amounts payable by Achillion to Emory under the immediately preceding sentence shall be reduced by the amounts, if any, that Achillion is entitled to credit against such payments pursuant to Section 3.2. In addition, Achillion shall pay directly to Emory [**] percent ([**]%) of any royalty payments made to Achillion by such Sublicensees on Sales of Licensed Products, but not less than [**] percent ([**]%) of such Sublicensee’s Net Sales for such Licensed Product.
ARTICLE 4
CONFIDENTIALITY
4.1 Non-Disclosure by Achillion. Achillion shall maintain in confidence and not disclose to any third party, other than its development partners, investors and lenders, and potential partners, investors and lenders, any Confidential Information of Emory. Achillion shall ensure that its employees, development partners, investors and lenders, potential partners, investors and lenders have access to Confidential Information only on a need-to-know basis and
-17-
are obligated in writing to abide by Achillion’s obligations under this Agreement. The foregoing obligation shall not apply to:
| 4.1.1 | information that is known to Achillion or independently developed by Achillion prior to the time of disclosure, in each case, to the extent evidenced by written records promptly disclosed to Emory upon receipt of the Confidential Information; |
| 4.1.2 | information disclosed to Achillion by a third party that has a right to make such disclosure; |
| 4.1.3 | information that becomes patented, published or otherwise part of the public domain other than as a result of the breach by Achillion of its obligations under this Agreement; or |
| 4.1.4 | information that is required to be disclosed by order of United States governmental authority or a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that Achillion shall use best efforts to obtain confidential treatment of such information by the agency or court. |
4.2 Limited Non-Disclosure by Emory. Emory shall not be obligated to accept any Confidential Information from Achillion except for the reports required in Section 3.4.7.1. Emory shall use reasonable efforts not to disclose those reports to any third party other than Emory’s outside advisors (subject to exceptions similar to those applicable to Achillion under Section 4.1). Emory bears no institutional responsibility for maintaining the confidentiality of any other information of Achillion.
4.3 Survival. The covenants of confidentiality set forth in this Agreement will apply from the Effective Date and continue as follows: (a) with respect to trade secrets, so long as
-18-
such trade secrets retain their status as “trade secrets” under applicable law, and (b) with respect to other Confidential Information, for the period equal to five (5) years after termination of this Agreement.
4.4 Breach. If either Party should breach or threaten to breach this Article 4, the non-breaching Party, in addition to any other remedies it may have at law or in equity, shall be entitled to a restraining order, injunction, or other similar remedy in order to specifically enforce the terms of this Article 4. Each Party specifically acknowledges that money damages alone may be an inadequate remedy for the injuries and damages suffered and incurred by the non-breaching Party as a result of a breach of this Article 4.
ARTICLE 5
TERM AND TERMINATION
5.1 Term. This Agreement, unless sooner terminated as provided in this Agreement, commences on the Effective date and shall continue in full force and effect on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis until the expiration of the last to expire Valid Claim expires on a country-by-country basis (the “Term”).
5.2 Termination for Material Breach. Upon any material breach of this Agreement by either Party (in such capacity, the “Breaching Party”), the other Party (in such capacity, the “Non-Breaching Party”) may terminate this Agreement by providing sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Breaching Party, specifying the material breach. The termination shall become effective at the end of the sixty (60) day period unless (a) the Breaching Party cures such breach during such sixty (60) day period, or (b) if such breach is not susceptible to cure within sixty (60) days of the receipt of written notice of the breach, the Breaching Party is diligently pursuing a cure (unless such breach, by its nature, is incurable, in which case the Agreement may be terminated immediately) and effects such cure within an additional [**] days after the end of
-19-
such sixty (60) day period. Achillion’s obligations to make all payments due hereunder and to submit royalty reports to Emory in accordance with Section 3.4.7.1 shall be deemed material obligations.
