AEVI may request that KKC grant such adequate rights and licenses; provided that KKC will have no obligation to grant any such rights or licenses; and provided further that upon making such request, KKC will have the right to participate in all negotiations with the alleged infringer concerning such adequate rights and licenses. Before AEVI takes any action to stop the infringing activity against an alleged infringer of the KKC Technology in the Territory, AEVI will consult in good faith with KKC concerning the alleged infringement, including selection of counsel, litigation strategy, litigation risks, the damage being caused to KKC and/or AEVI and any other matter relevant to enforcement of the KKC Technology against the alleged infringer in the Territory. In the event that AEVI elects not to take action pursuant to this Section 8.3.2, AEVI shall so notify KKC in writing of its intention (***). Thereafter, the Parties shall consult with one another in an effort to determine whether a reasonably prudent licensee would institute litigation to enforce the KKC Technology in question in light of all relevant business and economic factors (including, but not limited to, the projected cost of such litigation, the likelihood of success on the merits, the probable amount of any damage award, the prospects for satisfaction of any judgment against the alleged infringer, the possibility of counterclaims against the Parties or likely patent challenges, the impact of any possible adverse outcome on the Parties and the effect any publicity might have on the Parties’ respective reputations and goodwill). If, after such process, it is unanimously determined that a suit should be filed and AEVI does not file suit or commence settlement negotiations forthwith against the infringer, then KKC shall have the right, at its own expense, to enforce the KKC Technology in question on behalf of itself and AEVI and KKC shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take any such reasonable measures to stop such infringing activities by such alleged infringer.
8.3.3 KKC Rights to Enforce in Japan. Solely in the event that KKC elects the Japan Option, KKC will have the right, but not the obligation, to take any reasonable measures it deems appropriate to: (a) stop infringing activities described in Section 8.3.1 in respect of the KKC Technology in Japan including initiating or prosecuting an infringement or other appropriate suit or action against the alleged infringer, but not granting adequate rights and licenses necessary for continuing such activities by the alleged infringer in Japan or (b) defend the KKC Technology in Japan against any declaratory judgment, opposition, patentability or invalidity actions.

If required under Applicable Law in order for the Controlling Party to initiate and/or maintain such suit or to defend the Defensive Action, or if either Party is unable to initiate or prosecute such suit or defend the Defensive Action solely in its own name or it is otherwise advisable to obtain an effective legal remedy, in each case, the other Party will join as a party to the suit or Defensive Action and will execute and cause its Affiliates to execute all documents necessary for the Controlling Party to initiate litigation to prosecute and maintain such action or defend the Defensive Action. In addition, at the Controlling Party’s request, the Cooperating Party will provide reasonable assistance to the Controlling Party in connection with an infringement suit (***). The Cooperating Party will have the right to participate and be represented in any such suit by its own counsel at its own expense. If the Parties obtain from a Third Party, in connection with such suit, any damages, license fees, royalties or other compensation (including any amount received in settlement of such litigation) (“Recoveries”) in the Territory, such amounts will be (***).

Subject to the foregoing, if LJI finds it necessary or reasonably desirable to join AEVI and/or KKC into such suit or action, AEVI and/or KKC will execute all papers and perform such other acts as may be reasonably required, and AEVI and/or KKC, at their respective options, may be represented by respective counsel(s) of their own choice, provided that (a) (***), and (b) if any amount is recovered on any such action or suit, whether by judgment or settlement (any such settlement requiring the consent of KKC), the balance of any such recovery will be paid to or retained (***) (including, for clarity, the LJI (***) set forth on Schedule 1.53) in respect of the applicable KKC Patent Right(s) and Licensed Product(s), after reimbursement for the reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred with respect to such suit or action by LJI, KKC and AEVI.
8.4 Claimed Infringement of Third Party Rights.
8.4.1 Notice. In the event that a Third Party at any time provides written notice of a claim to, or brings an action, suit or proceeding against, any Party, or any of such Party’s respective Related Parties, claiming infringement of such Third Party’s Patent Rights or unauthorized use or misappropriation of such Third Party’s Know-How, based upon an assertion or claim arising out of the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of a Licensed Product (each, an “Infringement Claim”), such Party will promptly notify the other Party of the Infringement Claim or the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, enclosing a copy of the Infringement Claim and all papers served.

If a Party reasonably determines that any Third Party Technology not already the subject of this Agreement is reasonably necessary for the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of a Licensed Product in the Field in such Party’s territory, then such Party will notify the other Party. Unless such Third Party Technology is specific only to Japan, AEVI will control the negotiations to obtain a license to such Third Party Technology with a right to sublicense to KKC but otherwise on terms and conditions determined at AEVI’s sole discretion. If such Third Party Technology is specific only to Japan, KKC will control the negotiations to obtain a license to such Third Party Technology on terms and conditions determined at KKC’s sole discretion. If AEVI elects not to obtain rights to such Third Party Technology for Japan, or is unsuccessful in obtaining a license to such Third Party Technology for Japan, then KKC will have the right (but not the obligation) to negotiate and obtain rights from such Third Party Technology at its sole discretion and expense and on such terms and conditions determined at KKC’s sole discretion. AEVI shall (***) and allocable to the activities of AEVI and its Related Parties in the Territory. KKC (***) and allocable to the activities of KKC and its Related Parties in Japan following KKC’s exercise of the Japan Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any lump sum payment (such as license fees and milestone payments) under any such agreement that is
36

made with respect to a license covering countries or jurisdictions both AEVI’s territory and Japan, the Parties will negotiate and decide in good faith the allocation of the payment based on the scope and territory of the acquired rights.
8.6 Other Infringement Resolutions.
8.6.1 Notice of Third Party Applications. In the event of a dispute or potential dispute that has not ripened into a demand, claim or suit of the type described Sections 8.3 or 8.4, the same principles governing control of the resolution of the dispute, consent to settlements of the dispute, and implementation of the settlement of the dispute (including sharing in and allocating the payment or receipt of damages, license fees, royalties and other compensation) will apply. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, within (***) after Regulatory Approval is achieved with respect to a BLA for a Licensed Product in the Territory (or such shorter time as the Parties agree in the case of a Licensed Product in the Territory that does not earn reference product exclusivity under the PHS Act), the Parties will consult as to potential strategies with respect to unexpired Patent Rights Controlled by either Party that potentially could be asserted if an unlicensed person engaged in the making, using, offering to sell, selling, or importing into the United States of a product described in a Biosimilar Application filed by a Third Party applicant (a “Section 351(k) Applicant”).
8.6.2 Cooperation and Enforcement. If AEVI or any of its Related Parties receives notice of a Biosimilar Application filed by a Section 351(k) Applicant that references such Licensed Product and related manufacturing information in accordance with section 351(l)(2)(A) of the PHS Act or receives a notice of commercial marketing in accordance with section 351(l)(8)(A) of the PHS Act, then AEVI will provide notice to KKC, and the Parties will discuss and cooperate with each other in determining AEVI’s course of action with regard to (a) engaging in the information exchange provisions of the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009, Section 351(k) of the Public Health Service Act, as may be amended, supplemented, or replaced (the “BPCIA”), including providing a list of patents that relate to the relevant Licensed Product, (b) engaging in the patent resolution provisions of the BPCIA, and (c) determining which patents will be the subject of immediate patent infringement action under Section 351(l)(6) of the BPCIA. In the event that the Parties do not agree with respect to the exercise of any such rights, AEVI will make the final determination with respect thereto, including without limitation with respect to (a), (b) and (c) above. If any patent litigation commences with respect to a Biosimilar Application filed by a Section 351(k) Applicant that references such Licensed Product, then the provisions of Section 8.3 will thereafter apply as if such Section 351(k) Applicant were an infringer or suspected infringer.
8.7 Product Trademarks.
8.7.1 Product Trademarks in the Territory. AEVI will own the Product Trademarks for each Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory and will be solely responsible for filing and maintaining the Product Trademarks in the Field in the Territory (including payment of costs associated therewith).
37

8.7.2 Each Party agrees to (a) conduct its business in a manner that will not damage the reputation or integrity of the Trademarks of the other Party, (b) conduct its business in a manner that will not damage in any way the goodwill associated with the Trademarks of the other Party, (c) use the Trademarks of the other Party in a manner that will not cause a negative impact upon the good name of such other Party, and (d) conduct its business in compliance with all applicable trademark Laws.
8.8 Patent Term Extensions. KKC will use reasonable efforts to obtain all available supplementary protection certificates (“SPC”) and other extensions of Patent Rights. KKC will execute such authorizations and other documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by AEVI to obtain such extensions. The Parties will cooperate with each other in gaining patent term restorations, extensions and/or SPCs wherever applicable to Patent Rights. KKC will have the right to seek patent term restoration or extension of any KKC Patent Rights or any SPC related thereto; provided that if in any country KKC has an option to extend the patent term for only one of several patents, KKC will consult with AEVI before making the election. If more than one patent is eligible for extension or patent term restoration, KKC will select in good faith a strategy that will maximize patent protection and commercial value for each Licensed Product. All filings for such extensions and certificates will be made by the Party to whom responsibility for prosecution and maintenance of the Patent Rights are assigned, provided that in the event that the Party to whom such responsibility is assigned elects not to file for an extension or SPC, such Party will (a) inform the other Party of its intention not to file and (b) grant the other Party the right to file for such extension or SPC in the patentee’s name, and (c) provide all necessary assistance in connection therewith.
8.9 Patent Marking. AEVI (and its Related Parties) will mark Licensed Products marketed and sold by AEVI (and/or its Related Parties, as applicable) with appropriate numbers of the KKC Patent Rights printed on the appropriate portion of the packaging. Without limiting the foregoing, AEVI shall mark each Licensed Product sold or offered for sale by or on behalf of AEVI with the patent number or numbers of any issued patents encompassed within the KKC Patent Rights solely owned by LJI, if applicable, and AEVI shall ensure that the content, form, location and language of such markings is in accordance with the applicable laws and practices of each jurisdiction in which the Licensed Products are made, used or sold.

38

set forth in Section 9.1.2), without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, except to the extent that the Confidential Information (as determined by competent documentation):
(a) was known or used by the Receiving Party without restriction as to its use or disclosure prior to its date of disclosure to the receiving Party; or
(b) either before or after the date of the disclosure to the Receiving Party is lawfully disclosed to the Receiving Party without restriction as to its use or disclosure by sources other than the Disclosing Party rightfully in possession of the Confidential Information; or
(c) either before or after the date of the disclosure to the Receiving Party becomes published or generally known to the public (including information known to the public through the sale of products in the ordinary course of business) through no fault or omission on the part of the Receiving Party or its Sublicensees; or
(d) is independently developed by or for the Receiving Party without reference to or reliance upon the Confidential Information.
All obligations of confidentiality imposed under this Article 9 will expire five (5) years following termination of this Agreement.
9.1.2 Required Disclosures. Section 9.1.1 will not preclude the Receiving Party from disclosing Confidential Information to the extent such Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by the Receiving Party to comply with Applicable Laws, to defend or prosecute litigation or to comply with governmental regulations, provided that the Receiving Party provides prior written notice of such disclosure to the Disclosing Party and takes reasonable and lawful actions to avoid and/or minimize the degree of such disclosure, except that AEVI shall not be required to provided prior written notice of confidential disclosures to Regulatory Authorities. If a public disclosure is required by any Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or submission to an exchange on which any securities of a Party is listed, the disclosing Party will provide copies of the disclosure (but shall be permitted to redact or omit portions of any filing, submission or disclosure not relevant to this Agreement) reasonably in advance of such filing or other disclosure, for the non-disclosing Party’s prior review and comment and to allow the other Party a reasonable time to object to any such disclosure or to request confidential treatment thereof. The disclosing Party will negotiate in good faith with the applicable Regulatory Authority concerning the confidential treatment request. If the disclosure is substantially similar to prior disclosures made by the Party and for which the obligations of this provision have been satisfied, the disclosing Party need not share such disclosure ahead of it being made.
9.1.3 Permitted Disclosures. KKC and AEVI each agree that they will provide Confidential Information received from the other Party only to their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, suppliers, Sublicensees, collaborators and advisors, and to those of such Party’s Related Parties, who have a need to know for such Party’s Development, Manufacture, and Commercialization of Licensed Products in accordance with this Agreement, including in connection with Regulatory Filings and obtaining Regulatory Approvals, provided that such
39

Third Parties are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as strict as this Article 9. In addition, each Party may not disclose the terms of this Agreement (to the extent such terms are confidential) to any Third Party except to actual or prospective lenders, investors, acquirers, licensees/Sublicensees or strategic partners (including the KKC Licensors and AEVI Licensor) or to a Party’s accountants, attorneys and other professional advisors; provided that such disclosures will be subject to continued confidentiality obligations at least as strict as this Article 9.
9.2 Publications by the Parties. Following the KKC’s exercise of the Japan Option and subject to Section 9.3:
9.2.1 except as required by Applicable Law, during the Term, each Party agrees that, unless explicitly authorized in this Agreement, it will not without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, file patent application, issue any press release, make any public announcement, or issue any scientific or other presentations or publications, with respect to the results of any Development work relating to this Agreement without the opportunity for prior review by the other Party;
9.2.2 with respect to any such proposed publications or presentations by one of the Parties, each Party will provide to the other Party for information and review any (a) abstracts, posters and slide presentations that the Party proposes prior to any scientific meetings and the other Party will provide feedback to the publishing Party within ten (10) of its Business Days of its receipt of such abstracts, posters and slide presentations, and (b) primary and final manuscripts and review articles that the Party proposes prior to journal submission and the other Party will provide feedback within fifteen (15) of its Business Days of its receipt of such manuscript or article;

Once such abstracts, manuscripts or presentations have been reviewed by the other Party and have been approved for publication, the same abstracts, manuscripts or presentations do not have to be provided again to the other Party for review for a later submission for publication. Expedited reviews for abstracts or poster presentations may be arranged if mutually agreeable to the Parties. The other Party also will have the right to require that its Confidential Information that may be disclosed in any such proposed publication or presentation be deleted prior to such publication or presentation.
9.3 Publications by Third Parties. Following the KKC’s exercise of the Japan Option and notwithstanding Section 9.2, the Parties understand and agree that any restrictions on scientific or other presentations or publications will not be construed to prohibit the clinical investigators of any clinical trials conducted under this Agreement, from making scholarly publications, manuscripts, abstracts, oral presentations or other disclosures with respect to the results of any Development work, including without limitation clinical data resulting from such clinical trials (“Publications”); provided that AEVI will ensure that (a) any such clinical
40

41

such breach and KKC’s intention to terminate is given by KKC to AEVI; provided, however, that if such breach relates to the failure to make a payment when due, such breach must be cured within (***) after written notice thereof is given by KKC (except that in the case of a bona fide dispute over whether or to what extent a payment by AEVI to KKC is due, this Section 10.2.2 will not be triggered provided that AEVI will pay the amount in dispute into escrow until such dispute is resolved). Subject to Section 10.2.4, any such termination of this Agreement will become effective at the end of the applicable cure period, unless AEVI has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of such cure period, or, if such breach is not susceptible to cure within the cure period, then, KKC’s right of termination will be suspended only if and for so long as AEVI has provided to KKC a written plan that is reasonably calculated to effect a cure within (***) thereafter and such plan is acceptable to KKC (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), and AEVI commits to and carries out such plan as provided to KKC.
10.2.3 Diligence or Country-Specific Breach. In the case of a material breach by AEVI of Sections 5.1 and/or 5.2 or a material breach by AEVI that is specific to a given country in the Territory, subject to Section 10.2.4, KKC will have the right to terminate this Agreement only as to the particular country to which such breach relates and not as to this Agreement in its entirety, upon delivery of written notice to AEVI provided that such breach has not been cured within sixty (60) days after written notice of such breach and KKC’s intention to terminate is given by KKC to AEVI; provided, however, that if such breach relates to the failure to make a payment when due, such breach must be cured within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is given by KKC (except that in the case of a bona fide dispute over whether or to what extent a payment by AEVI to KKC is due, this Section 10.2.3 will not be triggered provided that AEVI will pay the amount in dispute into escrow until such dispute is resolved). Subject to Section 10.2.4, any such termination of this Agreement will become effective at the end of the applicable cure period, unless AEVI has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of such cure period, or, if such breach is not susceptible to cure within the cure period, then, KKC’s right of termination will be suspended only if and for so long as AEVI has provided to KKC a written plan that is reasonably calculated to effect a cure within six (6) months thereafter and such plan is acceptable to KKC (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), and AEVI commits to and carries out such plan as provided to KKC.

42

appeal is taken or can be taken, or have been admitted or determined to be invalid or unenforceable through reissue, re-examination, disclaimer or similar formal proceeding, or where a pending application within the KKC Patent Rights has been abandoned or finally rejected (in each case, other than pursuant to a claim by KKC, AEVI or their respective Affiliates or by a Third Party caused by any of the foregoing entities) in any Challenge, then (x) if and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (***) during and after the pendency of such Challenges from the date KKC, AEVI, or any of their respective Affiliates first institute or make such challenges. In such event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) AEVI will not be obligated to (***) in case such Challenges are initiated or conducted solely by or on behalf of KKC or any of its Affiliates (in which case, KKC will be responsible for (***)), and (ii) KKC will not be obligated to (***) in case such Challenges are initiated or conducted solely by or on behalf of AEVI or any of its Affiliates (in which case, AEVI will (***)).

If a Sublicensee of AEVI or any of its Affiliates Challenges the validity, scope or enforceability of or otherwise opposes any of the KKC Patent Rights under which such Sublicensee is sublicensed, then AEVI or its Affiliate will, upon written notice from KKC, promptly terminate such sublicense. “Challenge” under this Section 10.2.3 will refer to a legal action or filing with a patent authority or tribunal or a court that could, if successful, result in a holding of invalidity, unenforceability, or unpatentability of a patent or application within the KKC Patent Rights.
10.2.5 Dispute. If AEVI reasonably and in good faith disagrees as to whether KKC has a basis for terminating this Agreement pursuant to Sections 10.2.2 or 10.2.3, AEVI may contest the allegation in accordance with Section 12.2. It is understood and acknowledged that, during the pendency of such a dispute, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement will remain in effect, and the Parties will continue to perform all of their respective obligations under this Agreement.

Such termination will be effective upon expiration of the applicable time period set forth in this Section 10.3.2. Subject to Section 10.3.4, any such termination of this Agreement will become effective at the end of the applicable cure period, unless KKC has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of such cure period, or, if such breach is not susceptible to cure within the cure period, then, AEVI’s right of termination will be suspended only if and for so long as KKC has provided to AEVI a written plan that is reasonably calculated to effect a cure within (***) thereafter and such plan is acceptable to AEVI (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), and KKC commits to and carries out such plan as provided to AEVI.
10.3.3 Convenience. (***), such termination to be effective at the end of such notice period, AEVI may terminate this Agreement as to such Licensed Product and/or such jurisdiction for any reason or no reason, including if AEVI, in its reasonable discretion, decides to cease all of its Development and/or Commercialization efforts with respect to such Licensed Product in such jurisdiction.
10.3.4 Dispute.

AEVI will provide to KKC one (1) copy of the foregoing documents and Regulatory Filings, all documents and filings contained in or referenced in any such Regulatory Filings, together with the raw and summarized data for any preclinical and clinical studies of the Licensed Product. For clarity, KKC will have the right to use the foregoing material information, materials and data developed by AEVI solely in connection with KKC’s development, manufacture and commercialization of Licensed Products. KKC will have the right to seek specific performance of AEVI’s obligations referenced in this Section 10.4.2 and/or in the event of failure to obtain assignment, AEVI hereby consents and grants to KKC the right to access and reference (without any further action required on the part of AEVI, whose authorization to file this consent with any Regulatory Authority is hereby granted) any and all such regulatory filings for any regulatory or other use or purpose. Without limiting the foregoing in this paragraph, to the extent applicable, AEVI’s obligations under this Section 10.4.2 will continue with respect to all countries in the Territory for which there is a failure to obtain assignment of all regulatory filings and Regulatory Approvals.
10.4.3 Know-How Transfer. AEVI will provide to KKC all data and information generated during the Term necessary for the development and/or commercialization of the relevant Licensed Products and assign (or, if applicable, cause its Affiliate to assign) to KKC all of AEVI’s (and such Affiliate’s) entire right, title and interest in and to all such data and information.

If AEVI has the capability in place as of the effective date of such termination to commercially Manufacture and supply to KKC all or part of KKC’s requirements of the applicable Licensed Products, if KKC so elects in its sole discretion, AEVI will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to supply to KKC (***) as much of KKC’s requirements of such Licensed Products (and to develop a reasonable inventory level) during such period, (***) for such Licensed Products, under terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed between the Parties. If KKC, despite its best efforts, is unable to Manufacture, or to secure a supply of, such Licensed Products in an amount sufficient to meet its requirements (***), AEVI will continue to supply such Licensed Products to KKC to the extent necessary to meet KKC’s requirements, so long as KKC continues to use its best efforts to develop the capabilities necessary to Manufacture such Licensed Products and/or to secure a supply of such Licensed Products.
10.4.7 Transfer of Manufacturing Technology. In the event, at the time of such termination, (a) AEVI manufactures the Licensed Products at its own facility, AEVI will complete manufacturing technology transfer to KKC without limitation the cell line(s), master cell bank, working cell bank and cell line(s) for analysis of the Licensed Product, and (b) if AEVI engages a Third Party to manufacture and supply the Licensed Products, AEVI will, at KKC’s election, either (i) have such Third Party conduct manufacturing technology transfer to KKC or (ii) will use reasonable efforts to assist in the transfer of such supply arrangements to KKC.

10.4.9 Retention of Payments. KKC will have the right to retain all amounts previously paid to KKC by AEVI.
10.4.10 No Compensation.

Any termination of this Agreement will be without prejudice to the rights of either Party against the other accrued or accruing under this Agreement before termination.
10.7 Rights in Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by either Party, including without limitation Article 6, are, and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or analogous provisions of Applicable Law outside the United States, licenses of right to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or analogous provisions of Applicable Law outside the United States (hereinafter “IP”). The Parties agree that each Party, as a licensee of such rights under this Agreement, will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other provisions of Applicable Law outside the United States that provide similar protection for IP. In the event of termination of a Party pursuant to Section 10.2.1 or 10.3.1, the terminated Party hereby grants to the other Party and its Affiliates a right to obtain possession of and to benefit from a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such IP and all embodiments of intellectual property, which, if not already in such other Party’s possession, will be promptly delivered to it upon such other Party’s written request therefor. The term “embodiments of intellectual property” includes all tangible, electronic or other embodiments of rights and licenses hereunder, including all Licensed Products, all Regulatory Approval Applications and Regulatory Approvals and rights of reference therein, and all Information related to Licensed Products KKC Technology and AEVI Technology, as applicable. The terminated Party will not interfere with the exercise by the other Party or its Affiliates of rights and licenses to IP and embodiments of intellectual property licensed hereunder in accordance with this Agreement and agrees to assist such other Party and Affiliates of such other Party to obtain the IP and embodiments of intellectual property in the possession or control of Third Parties as reasonably necessary or desirable for such other Party or Affiliates of such other Party to exercise such rights and licenses in accordance with this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Milestone Payments and Sales Milestone Payments made under Section 7.3 and 7.4, respectively, do not constitute royalties within the meaning of U.S. Bankruptcy Code §365(n) or relate to licenses of intellectual property hereunder.

10.8 No Limitation of Remedies. Except as herein expressly provided, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, termination of this Agreement will not relieve the Parties of any liability or obligation which accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination nor prejudice either Party’s right to obtain performance of any obligation. Each Party will be free, pursuant to Section 12.2, to seek (without restriction as to the number of times it may seek) damages, costs and remedies that may be available under Applicable Law or in equity and will be entitled to offset the amount of any damages and costs obtained in a final determination under Section 12.2 of monetary damages or costs (as permitted by this Agreement) against the other Party against any amounts otherwise due to such other Party under this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that either Party will be entitled to seek specific performance as a remedy to enforce the provisions of this Article 10, in addition to any other remedy to which such Party may be entitled by Applicable Law.

This indemnification excludes Losses arising out of Third Party Infringement Claims resulting from AEVI’s exercise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement of any intellectual property rights granted by KKC hereunder. Furthermore, AEVI will have no obligation to indemnify the KKC Indemnitees to the extent that the Losses arise out of or result from, directly or indirectly, any matter for which KKC must indemnify AEVI under this Agreement. In addition, AEVI will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend LJI and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all Losses (including costs of investigation and court costs) arising at any time from or in any manner connected with, directly or indirectly, any activity of AEVI involving the KKC Patent Rights solely owned by LJI or any information furnished under the LJI Agreement, including the use, handling, storage, distribution, containment, sale and/or disposition of any product (whether or not a Licensed Product), or provision of any service, related to or derived directly or indirectly from or using any KKC Patent Rights solely owned by LJI.
11.10.2 Indemnification by KKC. KKC will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend AEVI, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (“AEVI Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses arising out of Third Party Claims arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, (a) any material breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by KKC in this Agreement, or any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of KKC in or pursuant to this Agreement, (b) the negligence or willful misconduct by or of KKC or any of its Related Parties, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, and/or (c) the Development, Manufacturing and Commercialization of Licensed Products (including product liability) by KKC or any of its Related Parties.

54

activities under this Agreement and use of the AEVI Technology licensed under the AEVI In-License, and KKC agrees that the Indemnitees (as defined in Section 12.2 of the AEVI In-License) are intended third party beneficiaries of this sentence.
11.10.3 Indemnification Procedure. In the event of any such claim against any AEVI Indemnitee or KKC Indemnitee (individually, an “Indemnitee”), the indemnified Party will promptly notify the other Party in writing of the claim and the indemnifying Party will manage and control, at its sole expense, the defense of the claim and its settlement. The Indemnitee will cooperate with the indemnifying Party and may, at its option and expense, be represented in any such action or proceeding. The indemnifying Party will not be liable for any settlements, litigation costs or expenses incurred by any Indemnitee without the indemnifying Party’s written authorization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the indemnifying Party believes that any of the exceptions to its obligation of indemnification of the Indemnitees set forth in Section 11.10.1 or Section 11.10.2 may apply, the indemnifying Party will promptly notify the Indemnitees, which will then have the right to be represented in any such action or proceeding by separate counsel at their expense; provided that the indemnifying Party will be responsible for payment of such expenses if the Indemnitees are ultimately determined to be entitled to indemnification from the indemnifying Party. If the indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such claim as described in this Section 11.10.3, above, the Indemnitee may defend such claim but will have no obligation to do so. The defending Party will not settle or compromise such claim without the prior written consent of the other Party, and will not settle or compromise such claim in any manner which would have an adverse effect on such other Party’s interests, without the prior written consent of such other Party, which consent, in each case, will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
11.10.4 Insurance. Each Party will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maintain insurance, including product liability insurance, with respect to its activities hereunder. Such insurance will be in such amounts and subject to such deductibles as the Parties may agree based upon standards prevailing in the industry at the time in order to fulfill the obligation under Section 11.10.1 or 11.10.2, including, but not limited to, the indemnification against any Losses involving any actual or alleged death or bodily injury arising out of or resulting from the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any Licensed Product.

12.2 Dispute Resolution.
55

12.2.1 With respect to any disputes between the Parties concerning this Agreement, the dispute will be submitted to escalating levels of AEVI and KKC senior management for review. If the dispute cannot be resolved despite such escalation, then the matter will be referred to the Executive Officers to be resolved by negotiation in good faith as soon as is practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) days after referral. Such resolution, if any, by the Executive Officers will be final and binding on the Parties. If the Executive Officers are unable to resolve such dispute within such thirty (30) day period, each Party may submit such dispute for arbitration pursuant to Section 12.2.2.
12.2.2 Arbitration.
(a) If any dispute will arise between KKC and AEVI in connection with or relating to this Agreement, then such dispute will be resolved exclusively by and through an arbitration proceeding to be conducted under the auspices of, and pursuant to, the Commercial Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (together with any successor organization thereto, the “ICC”) in New York, New York, U.S.A. Such arbitration proceeding will be conducted in the English language applying the law provided in Section 12.1 and in such an expedited manner as is then permitted by the ICC’s commercial arbitration rules. The Parties also agree to take reasonable discovery, with reasonableness to be determined by the arbitrators. Each of the foregoing agreements to arbitrate all disputes and the results, determinations, findings, judgments and awards rendered through such arbitration will be final, non-appealable and legally binding on KKC and AEVI and may be entered and enforced by any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.2, a Party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) Any arbitration proceeding will be initiated by written notice from either KKC or AEVI to the other Party. The arbitration will be conducted before a panel of three (3) arbitrators.

The Party initiating the arbitration proceeding will appoint its arbitrator within ten (10) days following service of the demand for arbitration to the other Party, who will in turn appoint its arbitrator within thirty (30) days of receiving service of the demand. The two appointed arbitrators will agree upon an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the date of the appointment by the parties of the second arbitrator. If either Party or their appointees fail to appoint an arbitrator within the specified time period, the ICC will exercise its powers pursuant to Article 8 of the ICC Rules of Arbitration to appoint such arbitrator. The ICC’s appointment will be binding on the Parties. Each arbitrator will be an attorney in good standing in the Bar of New York and experienced in commercial disputes involving pharmaceutical companies. Time is of the essence of this arbitration procedure, and KKC and AEVI will instruct the arbitrators to render their decision within ninety (90) days of the arbitration’s completion. The cost of the arbitration (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) will be borne as the arbitrators will decide; otherwise such costs (including, without limitation, the prevailing Party’s reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, expenses and disbursements) will be borne by the Party against which the judgment of the arbitrator is to be enforced.

Neither Party will have any express or implied power to enter into any contracts or commitments or to incur any liabilities in the name of, or on behalf of, the other Party, or to bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever.
12.9 Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to execute, acknowledge and/or deliver such further instruments, and to do all other acts, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.
12.10 No Strict Construction. This Agreement has been prepared jointly and will not be strictly construed against either Party.
12.11 Performance by Affiliates. Each Party recognizes that the other Party may perform some or all of its obligations under this Agreement through Affiliates to the extent permitted under this Agreement; provided, however, that such other Party will remain responsible for the performance by its Affiliates as if such obligations were performed by such other Party.
12.12 Construction. Except where the context otherwise requires, wherever used, the singular will include the plural, the plural the singular, and the use of any gender will be applicable to all genders. The captions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe, extend or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or the intent of any provision contained in this Agreement. The term “including” as used herein means including, without limiting the generality of any description that precedes such term, and will be deemed to be followed by the phrase “but not limited to,” “without limitation” or words of similar import regardless of whether such words are actually written there (and drawing no implication from the actual inclusion of such phrase in some instances after the word “including” but not others). References to “Article”, “Articles”, “Section”, Sections”, “Exhibit” or “Exhibits” are references to the numbered Article(s), Section(s), or lettered Exhibit(s) of this Agreement, unless expressly stated otherwise. Except where the context otherwise requires, (a) references to a particular law, rule or regulation mean such law, rule or regulation as in effect as of the relevant time, including all rules and regulations thereunder and any successor law, rule
59

or regulation in effect as of the relevant time, and including the then-current amendments thereto; (b) the word “or” has the inclusive meaning that is typically associated with the phrase “and/or”; (c) whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, such number will refer to calendar days unless Business Days are specified, and if a period of time is specified and dates from a given day or Business Day, or the day or Business Day of an act or event, it is to be calculated exclusive of that day or Business Day; (d) references to a particular person or entity include such person’s or entity’s successors and assigns to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement; (e) a capitalized term not defined herein but reflecting a different part of speech than a capitalized term which is defined herein will be interpreted in a correlative manner; and (f) the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and derivative or similar words refer to this Agreement (including any Exhibits).
12.13 No Implied Waivers; Rights Cumulative. No failure on the part of KKC or AEVI to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement, or provided by statute or at law or in equity or otherwise, will impair, prejudice or constitute a waiver of any such right, power, remedy or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any breach of this Agreement or as an acquiescence therein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, remedy or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.
12.14 Severability. If any provision hereof should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, the Parties will substitute, by mutual consent, valid provisions for such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions, which valid provisions in their economic effect are sufficiently similar to the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions that it can be reasonably assumed that the Parties would have entered into this Agreement with such valid provisions. In case such valid provisions cannot be agreed upon, the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of one (1) or several provisions of this Agreement will not affect the validity of this Agreement as a whole, unless the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions are of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement without the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
12.15 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly set forth in Section 11.10.2, no person or entity other than AEVI, KKC and their respective Affiliates and permitted assignees hereunder will be deemed an intended beneficiary hereunder or have any right to enforce any obligation of this Agreement.
