4.2    Joint Steering Committee. The Parties will establish a joint steering committee to review and oversee the Development and Commercialization of the Compounds and Products in the Field in the Territory and to coordinate the Parties’ activities under this Agreement (the “Joint Steering Committee” or “JSC”). The purpose of the JSC is only for the exchange of information and discussion. The JSC has no decision-making authority, and may not amend or waive the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Sellas has final decision-making authority for all matters relating to the Development and Commercialization of the Compounds and Products in the Territory. Within [***] after the Effective Date, each Party shall appoint two (2) representatives to the JSC, each of whom shall have sufficient seniority and relevant expertise to make decisions within the scope of the JSC’s responsibilities. The JSC may change its size from time to time by mutual consent of the Parties; provided, that the JSC will consist at all times of an equal number of representatives of each of GenFleet and Sellas. Each Party may at any time replace its JSC representatives upon written notice to the other Party. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Sellas from establishing a separate global steering committee with respect to the global Development of the Compounds and Products (the “Global JSC”), and if Sellas forms a Global JSC, Sellas will invite representatives of GenFleet to participate in such Global JSC.

4.2.1    Each of Sellas and GenFleet will select from their representatives a co-chairperson for the JSC, and each Party may change its designated co-chairperson from time to time upon written notice to the other Party. The co-chairpersons of the JSC will be responsible, with the assistance of the Alliance Managers (as defined below), for calling meetings, preparing and circulating an agenda and relevant materials (including drafts of, updates to, or any proposed changes to the Development Plan) to the other Party at least [***] in advance of each meeting, and preparing and issuing minutes of each meeting within [***] thereafter. The co-chairpersons of the JSC shall be responsible for executing the final agreed version of the minutes from each meeting of the JSC.

4.2.3    The JSC will hold meetings on a [***] basis at such times as the co-chairpersons may reasonably determine. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, at least [***] each Calendar Year shall be held in person at a mutually agreed upon location and the other JSC meeting shall be held by teleconference, videoconference or other similar or mutually acceptable electronic means. Each Party will bear its own costs associated with attending meetings of the JSC. Each Party may from time to time invite a reasonable number of participants (including translators), in addition to its representatives, to attend the JSC meetings in a non-voting capacity. Each individual attending any JSC meeting hereunder (whether as a JSC member or invitee) shall be bound by written non-use and non-disclosure terms and conditions at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Agreement with respect to the Confidential Information of the other Party (for clarity, this may be through employment, confidentiality, invention assignment or similar agreements with such individuals). All materials to be discussed at a JSC meeting must be sent to the Parties at least [***] prior to such meeting.

4.2.4    Each Party shall appoint a single English-speaking individual to act as the primary point of contact between the Parties in connection with the Development, manufacture and Commercialization of the Compounds and Products in the Field in the Territory (the “Alliance Managers”). Each Party may at any time appoint a different Alliance Manager by written notice to the

other Party and may elect, upon mutual agreement by the Parties, to eliminate the responsibilities of the Alliance Managers. The Alliance Managers will (a) attend all meetings of the JSC, and (b) be the first point of referral for all matters of conflict resolution, and bring disputes to the attention of the JSC in a timely manner.

4.3    Diligence.

4.3.1    Sellas shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop the Compound pursuant to a development plan (the “Development Plan”) which will include projected timelines for the achievement of the following milestones: (a) initiation of the first [***] in the Territory for a Product; (b) initiation of the first [***] in the Territory for a Product; and (c) the submission of [***] following a [***].

4.3.2    Sellas will deliver the initial Development Plan to GenFleet within [***] of the Effective Date. Not later than [***] after December 31 of each Calendar Year during the Term, when Development of a Product in the Field in the Territory is ongoing, Sellas shall provide to GenFleet an updated Development Plan for the pending Calendar Year. Such update shall take into account completion, commencement, changes in or cessation of Development activities not contemplated by the then-current Development Plan to reflect the continued diligence of Sellas and its Sublicensees.

4.3.3    Sellas shall itself or through its Sublicensees use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (a) Develop and seek Regulatory Approval for a Product in the United States, and (b) Commercialize Products following Regulatory Approval in the Territory.

4.3.4    The Parties further agree that the Development Plan shall be consistent with the diligence milestone events set forth in this Section 4.3.4 (each a “Diligence Milestone Event”) and Sellas shall complete each Diligence Milestone Event (either itself or through a Sublicensee) prior to or upon each respective deadline subject to any extension provided for in this Section 4.3.4 (each, as extended, a “Milestone Deadline”):

Diligence Milestone Event	Deadline
First [***] for a Product in the Territory (“Diligence Milestone Event 1”)	[***] following [***] for such Product
First [***] for a Product in the Territory	[***] following Diligence Milestone Event 1 for such Product
Submission of NDA for [***]	[***] following the [***] for such Product

[***]

If Sellas fails to meet the deadline for a Diligence Milestone Event (whether the original deadline, or as extended pursuant to the process set forth above, or as determined in accordance with Section 4.3.5, as applicable), then GenFleet may treat such failure as a material breach which has not been cured in accordance with Section 13.2.1 and GenFleet is entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2.1.

4.3.5    If the Parties cannot reach agreement on the Impasse before [***] prior to the original deadline, then Sellas may, in its sole discretion, submit the matter to binding arbitration for resolution before the original deadline as set forth below.

(a)    If Sellas elects to submit the Impasse to binding arbitration, each Party will first (a) prepare a draft of its proposed deadline, which deadline shall be not earlier than [***] after the original deadline (each a “Draft Deadline”) and (b) submit its Draft Deadline to the other Party within [***] following the date of Sellas notice of election of arbitration. Within [***] following the last Party’s submission

of its Draft Deadline to the other Party, the Parties will meet and determine whether they agree to enter into either Party’s Draft Deadline, or a modified version thereof, as the revised deadline.

(b)    If the Parties are unable to agree on the selection of a Draft Deadline (or a modified version thereof), the determination of the revised deadline will be resolved by final and binding arbitration before an independent Third Party arbitrator chosen by the Parties (the “Arbitrator”). The Arbitrator shall have at least ten (10) years of subject matter expertise with respect to regulatory matters in the U.S. pharmaceutical industry. If the Parties are unable to agree on an Arbitrator within [***] of failing to agree on a Draft Deadline (or a modified version thereof), then the Parties will request that one be appointed for them by the American Arbitration Association.

(c)    Within [***] following the appointment of the Arbitrator, each Party will submit its Draft Deadline to the Arbitrator, as well as any supporting materials. For clarity, the Draft Deadline submitted to the Arbitrator by each Party must be identical to the Draft Deadline previously submitted to the other Party above. The Arbitrator will be instructed to select one of the Parties’ Draft Deadlines within [***] following the receipt of the latter of such Draft Deadlines and to select the Draft Deadline that it determines contains the most fair deadline. The Arbitrator will agree to comply with such [***] before accepting appointment. The authority of the Arbitrator will be limited to selecting only one or the other of the Draft Deadlines submitted by the Parties. The selection by the Arbitrator of one Party’s Draft Deadline will be binding and conclusive upon both Parties and their Affiliates, and such Draft Deadline will be the applicable deadline.

4.3.6    Each Party will bear its own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) relating to the arbitration proceeding, except that the fees of the Arbitrator and other related costs of the arbitration will be shared equally by the Parties, unless the Arbitrator determines that a Party has incurred unreasonable expenses due to vexatious or bad faith positions taken by the other Party, in which event the Arbitrator may make an award of all or any portion of such expenses (including reasonable legal fees) so incurred.

4.4    Data Exchange. Each Party shall, on an ongoing basis, promptly (and no later than [***] following generation thereof) disclose to the other Party all clinical data Controlled by such Party in connection with its development of the Compound (including where the Compound is included within any drug substance or drug product) (“Clinical Data”). Each Party owns all right, title and interest in and to its Clinical Data, which constitutes its Confidential Information. GenFleet’s Clinical Data shall be included within the Licensed Know-How. Sellas hereby grants to GenFleet a nonexclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use Sellas’ Clinical Data in GenFleet’s development of the Compound outside of the Territory.

4.5    Regulatory Filings. In connection with its efforts to Develop the Product, Sellas shall bear all responsibility and expense for submitting Regulatory Filings and obtaining Regulatory Approval for the Product in the Territory.

4.6    Right of Reference.Each Party hereby grants to the other Party the right of reference to all Regulatory Filings pertaining to the Compound submitted by or on behalf of such Party or its Affiliates. Sellas may use such right of reference for the purpose of seeking, obtaining and maintaining Regulatory Approval for the Compound and Products in the Field in the Territory, and GenFleet may use such right of reference solely for the purpose of seeking, obtaining and maintaining Regulatory Approval of the Compound outside of the Territory. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses associated with providing the other Party with the right of reference and sharing of data and information pursuant to this

Section 4.6. Each Party will take such actions as may be reasonably requested by the other Party to give effect to the intent of this Section 4.6 and to give the other Party the benefit of the rights of reference to the granting Party’s Regulatory Filings in the other Party’s territory as provided herein.

4.7    Pharmacovigilance. Within [***] following the Effective Date, the Parties shall enter into a pharmacovigilance agreement for Products that sets forth the responsibilities of each Party with respect to pharmacovigilance matters in the Territory.

For the avoidance of doubt: (i) each Development Milestone Payment shall be payable only once upon achievement of the applicable Development Milestone for the corresponding Product; and (ii) satisfaction of a Development Milestone by a Sublicensee or assignee of, or Third Party retained by, Sellas or its Affiliates shall be deemed to have been satisfied by Sellas for purposes of this Section 5.2.

5.3    Sales Milestone Payments. In consideration of the license and rights granted to Sellas hereunder, Sellas shall pay to GenFleet the following one-time payments when the aggregate Net Sales of all Products in a Calendar Year in the Territory first reach the respective thresholds indicated below (each event, a “Sales Milestone” and each payment, a “Sales Milestone Payment”); provided, that, if the aggregate Net Sales in a Calendar Year result in more than one of the below thresholds being exceeded, then all milestones with exceeded thresholds would be due for such Calendar Year.

6	First time aggregate Net Sales of Products in a Calendar Year reach $[***]	$[***]

Sellas shall pay each Sales Milestone Payment within [***] after the end of the applicable Calendar Quarter in which aggregate or cumulative Net Sales reach the applicable threshold.

5.4    Royalty Payments.

5.4.1    Royalty Payments. In consideration of the license and rights granted to Sellas hereunder, Sellas shall pay to GenFleet non-refundable, non-creditable royalties at royalty rates equal to the Marginal Royalty Rates (set forth below) on the aggregate Net Sales resulting from the sale of Products, on a Product-by-Product basis, in the Territory during each Calendar Year (collectively, “Royalties”).

NET SALES	MARGINAL ROYALTY RATE
Annual Net Sales of Products in a Calendar Year above $0 and up to and including $[***]	[***]%
Annual Net Sales of Products in a Calendar Year above $ [***] and up to and including $ [***]	[***]%
Annual Net Sales of Products in a Calendar Year above $ [***] and up to and including $ [***]	[***]%
Annual Net Sales of Products in a Calendar Year above $ [***] and up to and including $ [***]	[***]%
Annual Net Sales of Products in a Calendar Year above $[***]	[***]%

Each Marginal Royalty Rate set forth in the table above shall apply only to that portion of the Net Sales of each Product in the Territory during a given Calendar Year that falls within the indicated range. Sellas shall pay to GenFleet the applicable Royalties within [***] following the expiration of each Calendar Quarter after the date of the First Commercial Sale. Royalties will be payable on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis during the Royalty Term for such Product in each country until the expiration

of the Royalty Term for such Product in such country. All Royalty payments shall be accompanied by a report that includes reasonably detailed information regarding a total [***] sales calculation of Net Sales of Product (including all deductions) and all Royalties payable to GenFleet for the applicable Calendar Quarter (including any foreign exchange rates employed).

5.4.2    Third Party Patent Rights. If Sellas obtains a license under, or other rights to, Intellectual Property Rights from any Third Party(ies) because (i) such Intellectual Property Rights from any Third Party(ies) are necessary and useful to the improvement of the Exploitation of Compounds or Product(s) (or any components of Product(s)), or (ii) the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, or importation of Product(s) in such country would infringe a Valid Claim of a Third Party’s Patent Right (“Third Party Licenses”), then [***] paid under such Third Party Licenses by Sellas or its Affiliates or Sublicensees in connection with the Exploiting of Product(s) for a Calendar Quarter shall be creditable against the royalty payments due to GenFleet by Sellas with respect to the sale of Products in such Calendar Quarter, provided that Sellas shall deliver a written notice to GenFleet before obtaining such Third Party Licenses; provided further, however, that the royalty rate payable in such Calendar Quarter shall in no case be less than [***].

5.4.3    Generic Entry. For Net Sales based on sales of a Product in a country in the Territory, any payments owed with respect to such Product pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall be reduced by [***] (but the royalty rate itself may not be reduced to less than [***]), if at any time a Generic Product is available in such country and such Generic Product(s) have, in the aggregate, achieved [***] of the market share in such country by unit volume of combined unit sales of all Products and all Generic Products based on data provided by IQVIA, or if such data are not available, such other reliable data source as reasonably agreed by the Parties.

5.4.4    Expiration of Valid Claims and Exclusivity. If, on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis, the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, or importation of such Product in such country would no longer infringe, but for the license granted herein, a Valid Claim of a Licensed Patent Right, then the royalty rate applicable to such Product during the Royalty Term shall be reduced by [***].

5.4.5    Minimum Royalty Rate and Carry-Forward. In no event would the aggregate royalty reductions described in subsections 5.5.2, 5.4.3 and 5.4.4 result in the total royalty payable to GenFleet being less than [***] of the royalty that would be payable without such royalty rate reductions. If Sellas is not able to take the full royalty reductions under subsections 5.5.2, 5.4.3 and/or 5.4.4 as a result of the foregoing restriction, then Sellas may carry over and apply any such royalty reductions which accrue in a given Calendar Quarter but are not deducted in such Calendar Quarter to any subsequent Calendar Quarter(s) and continue applying such reduction on a Calendar Quarter basis thereafter until fully utilized. For the avoidance of doubt, Sellas Royalty payments to GenFleet, including any Royalty payments that include any carry over, would not be less than [***] of the royalty that would be payable without such royalty rate reductions, in such corresponding Calendar Quarter.

5.5    Currency. Any payments under this Article 5 that are recorded in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar shall be converted into U.S. Dollars at the average of the daily foreign exchange rates published in the Wall Street Journal (or any other qualified source that is reasonably acceptable to both Parties) for the Calendar Quarter in which such payments or expenses occurred, or for periods less than a Calendar Quarter, the average of the daily rates published in the Wall Street Journal for such period.

5.6    Method of Payment. All payments from Sellas to GenFleet shall be made by wire transfer via immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to credit the bank account set forth below or such other bank account as designated by GenFleet in writing to Sellas at least [***] before payment is due. Any payment which falls due on a date which is not a Business Day may be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

Bank Name:	[***]
Bank Country:	[***]
Bank Address:	[***]
Bank Account Number:	[***]

5.7    Taxes.

5.7.1    VAT. It is understood and agreed between the Parties that any payments made under this Agreement by Sellas are exclusive of any value added or similar tax (“VAT”), which shall be added thereon as applicable. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that no payment under this Agreement is expected to result in the payment of VAT, and that if either Party becomes aware that it is required to charge or account for VAT in respect of any payment hereunder, it shall promptly notify the other Party with full details of the basis for such VAT, whereupon the Parties shall discuss in good faith the possibility of mitigating any such VAT.

5.7.2    Withholding Taxes. In the event any payments made by Sellas to GenFleet pursuant to this Agreement become subject to withholding taxes under the laws or regulation of any jurisdiction, Sellas shall deduct and withhold the amount of such taxes for the account of GenFleet to the extent required by Applicable Law and such amounts payable to GenFleet shall be reduced by the amount of taxes deducted and withheld, which shall be treated as paid to GenFleet in accordance with this Agreement. To the extent that Sellas is required to deduct and withhold taxes on any payments under this Agreement, Sellas shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper governmental authority and transmit to the payee an official tax certificate or other evidence of such withholding sufficient to enable GenFleet to claim such payments of taxes. GenFleet shall provide any tax forms to Sellas that may be reasonably necessary in order for Sellas not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. Each Party shall provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Applicable Law, of withholding taxes, VAT, or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party bearing such withholding tax or VAT.

5.7.3    Tax Actions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if an action, including but not limited to any assignment or sublicense of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or any failure to comply with Applicable Law or filing or record retention requirements (a “Tax Action”) by a Party leads to the imposition of withholding tax liability or VAT on the other Party that would not have been imposed in the absence of a Tax Action or in an increase in such liability above the liability that would have been imposed in the absence of such Tax Action, then (i) the sum payable by the Party that caused the Tax Action (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that the other Party receives a sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no Tax Action occurred and (ii) the sum payable by the Party that caused a Tax Action (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be made to the other Party after deduction of the amount required to be so deducted or withheld, which deducted or withheld amount shall be remitted in accordance with Applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, a Party shall only be liable for increased payments pursuant to this Section 5.7.3 to the extent such Party engaged in a Tax Action that created or increased a withholding tax or VAT on the other Party.

5.7.4    Cooperation. The Parties agree to cooperate and produce on a timely basis any tax forms or reports, including the applicable form from the IRS Form W-8 series of forms, reasonably requested by the other Party in connection with any payment made by Sellas to GenFleet under this Agreement.

6.2    Audit Request. GenFleet shall have the right during the term of this Agreement and for [***] thereafter to engage, at its own expense, an independent certified public accountant of United States recognized standing reasonably acceptable to Sellas (“Accounting Firm”) to examine the Relevant Records from time-to-time, but no more frequently than [***] every [***], as may be necessary to verify compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Such audit shall be requested in writing at least [***] in advance, and shall be conducted during Sellas’ normal business hours and otherwise in a manner that minimizes any interference to Sellas’ business operations. No period may be audited more than once, and the Accounting Firm will be required to execute Sellas’ nondisclosure agreement which shall be in accordance with industry standards prior to conducting its review. Upon completion of an audit under this Agreement, the Accounting Firm will be instructed to simultaneously provide both GenFleet and Sellas with the same written report disclosing any discrepancies in the reports submitted by Sellas, and, in each case, the specific details concerning any discrepancies.

6.3    Audit Fees and Expenses. GenFleet shall bear any and all fees and expenses it may incur in connection with any such audit of the Relevant Records; provided, however, in the event an audit reveals an underpayment by Sellas of more than [***] as to the period subject to the audit, Sellas shall reimburse GenFleet for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the audit within [***] after receiving correct invoices thereof.

6.4    Payment of Deficiency. If any audit establishes that Sellas underpaid any amounts due to GenFleet under this Agreement, then Sellas shall pay GenFleet any such deficiency within [***] after receipt of written notice thereof. If any audit establishes that Sellas overpaid any amounts due to GenFleet under this Agreement, then Sellas may offset all such excess payments against any future amounts payable by Sellas to GenFleet under this Agreement until Sellas has received full credit for all such overpayments (and GenFleet will pay Sellas for any remaining overpayment upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement).

7.    INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

7.1    Ownership.

Before each material submission is filed with a patent office, Sellas will provide GenFleet a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such submission and reasonably consider any comments provided by GenFleet to Sellas. Sellas will keep GenFleet reasonably informed of the status of the Licensed Patent Rights by timely providing GenFleet copies of significant communications relating to such Licensed Patent Rights that are received from any patent office or patent counsel of record or foreign associate. As between the Parties, Sellas shall have the first right, but not

the obligation, to control the defense of any action or claim relating to the Licensed Patent Rights in the Territory (including declaratory judgment), in which case Sellas will invoice GenFleet for up to [***] of amounts incurred by Sellas in undertaking such defense activities, and GenFleet will pay such invoices within [***] of receipt.

7.2.2    Assistance. As reasonably requested by Sellas in writing, GenFleet shall reasonably cooperate in a timely manner, at Sellas’ expense, in (i) the preparation, prosecution, and maintenance of the Licensed Patent Rights, and (ii) obtaining patent term restoration (under, but not limited to, the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act), supplementary protection certificates or their equivalents, and patent term extensions with respect to the Licensed Patent Rights in the Territory. Such cooperation shall include (a) executing all papers and instruments or requiring its employees or contractors to execute such papers to effectuate the ownership and rights, including Patent Right extensions, supplementary protection certificates and the like, under this Agreement; (b) assisting in any license registration processes applicable to a particular Governmental Authority; and (c) promptly informing Sellas of any matters coming to GenFleet’s attention that may materially affect the preparation, filing, prosecution, or maintenance of any such Licensed Patent Rights in the Territory.

7.2.3    Failure to Prosecute or Maintain. In the event Sellas elects to forgo filing, prosecution or maintenance of any of the Licensed Patent Rights, Sellas shall provide GenFleet written notice of such election not less than [***] prior to any related filing or payment due date, or any other related due date that requires action (“Election Notice”). Upon receipt of an Election Notice, GenFleet shall be entitled, upon written notice to Sellas, at its sole discretion and expense, to file or to continue the prosecution or maintenance of such Licensed Patent Right in such country in GenFleet’s name using counsel of its own choice and at its own expense.

7.2.4    Listing in Orange Book. Sellas shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to make all filings with Regulatory Authorities in the Territory for each Product in the FDA’s Orange Book, and under any similar or equivalent laws in other countries or jurisdictions; provided, that, the Parties shall collaborate in good faith to determine whether any Licensed Patent Rights are required to be included in any such intended filings. Prior to making such filing, Sellas shall notify GenFleet of any such filing and, at GenFleet’s request, discuss in good faith any issues or comments GenFleet may have with respect to such filing and Sellas shall take into consideration GenFleet’s reasonable comments.

7.2.5    Patent Term Extensions. Sellas shall have the first right to make decisions regarding patent term extensions, including supplementary protection certificates, patent linkages and any other extensions that are now or in the future become available, wherever applicable (each, a “Patent Term Extension”), for the Licensed Patent Rights in any country or other jurisdiction within the Territory in connection with the Products. Prior to selecting any such Licensed Patent Rights for a Patent Term Extension, Sellas shall notify GenFleet of any such selection and, at GenFleet’s request, discuss in good faith any issues or comments GenFleet may have with respect to the selection of such Licensed Patent Rights and Sellas shall take into consideration GenFleet’s comments. Sellas shall have the responsibility of applying for any Patent Term Extension with respect to such Licensed Patent Rights and the Products in the Territory. As reasonably requested by Sellas in writing, GenFleet shall reasonably cooperate, at Sellas’ sole cost and expense, in obtaining such Patent Term Extension. Sellas agrees to execute and deliver such further authorizations and instruments at least [***] in advance of submission to provide GenFleet with reasonable comment rights and Sellas agrees to take into consideration such further actions as may be reasonably requested by GenFleet to implement the foregoing. If Sellas does not exercise its rights to file any Patent Term Extensions on any Licensed Patent Right in the Territory, GenFleet shall have the right, on a country-by-country basis to file a Patent Term Extension for such Licensed Patent Rights at GenFleet’s sole expense; provided, however, that, GenFleet shall not have such right in a country if such filing by GenFleet would preclude Sellas from filing a Patent Term Extension for another Licensed Patent Right of Sellas’ choosing in such country. If GenFleet files for and is granted a Patent Term extension, upon such granting, the corresponding Licensed Patent Rights in the corresponding country shall be included in the Licensed Patent Rights.

8.    INFRINGEMENT; MISAPPROPRIATION.

8.1    Notification. Each Party will promptly notify the other Party in writing upon becoming aware of any (i) actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or other violation by a Third Party of any Licensed Technology in the Field and in the Territory of which it becomes aware, including the filing of an Abbreviated New Drug Application under Section 505(j) of the FD&C Act or an application under Section 505(b)(2) of the FD&C Act naming a Product as a reference listed drug and including a certification under Section 505(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) or 505(b)(2)(A)(IV), respectively or (ii) declaratory judgment action against any Licensed Patent Right, if any, in the Territory in connection with any infringement described in clause (i) (any of (i) or (ii) constituting a (“Third Party Infringement”).

Prior to commencing any such action, Sellas shall reasonably consult with GenFleet and Sellas shall give due consideration to GenFleet’s recommendations regarding the proposed action. Sellas shall give GenFleet timely notice of any proposed settlement of any such action instituted by Sellas and shall not, without the prior written consent of GenFleet, enter into any settlement that (i) would give rise to liability of GenFleet or its Affiliates; or (ii) otherwise admit invalidity or unenforceability of the Licensed Patent Rights. GenFleet shall reasonably cooperate in a timely manner in any enforcement of the Licensed Patent Rights against any Third Party.

(b)    For any action to enforce any infringement of the Licensed Patent Rights against a Third Party in the Territory, if Sellas is unable, as a matter of law, to initiate or prosecute such action solely in its own name, GenFleet will join such action voluntarily and will execute and cause its Affiliates to execute all documents necessary for Sellas to prosecute and maintain such action under this Section 8.2.1.

(c)    If Sellas does not, with respect to its first right of enforcement under Section 8.2.1(a), obtain agreement from the alleged infringer to desist or fails or refuses to initiate an infringement action by the earlier of (i) [***] following Sellas’ receipt of notice of the alleged infringement, or (ii) [***] before the expiration date for filing such actions, then GenFleet shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to control such enforcement of the Licensed Patent Rights at its sole expense.

8.2.2    Recoveries. Any recoveries resulting from an action relating to a claim of Third Party Infringement shall first be applied to reimburse each Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Any remaining recoveries shall be retained by (or if received by GenFleet, paid to) Sellas, and to the extent such recoveries are attributable by the court to loss of sales of Products, then such recoveries shall be applied to Net Sales in the Calendar Year in which it is received by Sellas for the purposes of paying Royalties, but shall not contribute to Sales Milestone Payments under Section 5.3.
