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 or Co-Packaged 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 the Licensed Product and all other product(s) included in the Combination Product or Co-Packaged Product, then the Net Sales for the purposes of determining royalty payments for a Combination Product or a Co-Packaged Product shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction of

In the event that the Licensed Product is never sold individually and is only ever sold as a Co-Packaged Product, then the gross invoiced sales figure to be used in the determination of the Net Sales shall be the volume of Licensed Product sold multiplied by the difference between the price of the Co-Packaged Product and the price of the other product (or aggregate price of the other products, as the case may be) with which the Licensed Product is co-packaged or combined, less (a) through (d) (inclusive) of the first paragraph of this definition,

11.    CLAUSE 11: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
11.1    Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents
11.1.1    Subject to Clause 11.1.2, C4X shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prosecute and maintain the C4X Patents in each Major Market and each other country requested by Company, in each case in consultation with Company and at Company's cost. Company shall reimburse C4X for C4X’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs arising from such prosecution and maintenance within thirty (30) days of receiving each invoice therefor. In the event that C4X desires to prosecute and maintain Patents in any country that Company has not so requested (“Additional Country”), C4X shall notify Company of such desire and, if Company does not instruct C4X to commence prosecution in such Additional Country within thirty (30) after such notice, then C4X may prosecute and maintain C4X Patents in such Additional Country, at C4X’s cost. C4X shall provide Company with copies of all material documents relating to the Handling of the C4X Patents in a timely manner. Without limiting the foregoing, C4X shall provide to Company, for review and comment, drafts of filings relating to the C4X Patents no less than seven (7) days prior to making such filing. C4X shall (a) use best efforts to accommodate Company’s comments and suggestions in the Handling of C4X Patents (including with respect to Additional Countries) and (b) not take patent prosecution positions in any Additional Countries that would undermine or contradict positions taken in the prosecution of the C4X Patents in any Major Markets or other countries selected by Company or that would otherwise negatively impact the scope or validity of the C4X Patents in any Major Markets or other countries selected by Company.
11.1.2    Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take over prosecution and maintenance of the C4X Patents on a country-by-country basis, the costs of which shall be borne by Company. The Company may exercise such right at any time. If Company wishes to take over such prosecution and maintenance Company shall notify C4X and C4X shall, with the co-operation of Company, use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer such prosecution and maintenance within any timelines set out in such notice. Company shall provide C4X with copies of all material documents relating to the Handling of such Patents in a timely manner following C4X's request.
11.1.3    Should Company wish to exercise its right under Clause 11.1.2, C4X shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to Company its authorised attorneys, agents or representatives, such of its employees as are reasonably necessary to assist Company in obtaining and maintaining the patent protection described under Clause 11.1.2. C4X further consents to the use by Company of the C4X Attorneys for the Handling of the C4X Patents. C4X shall execute or use commercially reasonable efforts to have executed all legal documents necessary to file and prosecute the applicable C4X Patents or to obtain or maintain such C4X Patents.
11.1.4    Should Company, following taking over the maintenance and prosecution of the C4X Patents, decide that it does not desire to Handle any C4X Patent, it shall promptly advise C4X thereof in writing in sufficient time as is reasonably needed so that C4X’s rights in such C4X’s Patent are not extinguished. C4X may thereafter Handle the same at C4X's own cost and expense, at its sole discretion.
35


11.1.5    Should C4X wish to exercise its right to Handle the C4X Patents under Clause 11.1.4, Company shall, at C4X’s cost, use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to C4X its authorised attorneys, agents or representatives, such of its employees as are reasonably necessary to assist C4X in obtaining and maintaining the patent protection described under Clause 11.1.4. Company shall execute or use commercially reasonable efforts to have executed all legal documents necessary to file and prosecute the applicable C4X Patents or to obtain or maintain such C4X Patents, at C4X’s cost.
11.1.6    As between the Parties, Company shall own all rights in and to any Company Applied Patents. Company shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to Handle Company Applied Patents, at its sole cost and expense.
11.1.7    As between the Parties, Company shall own all rights in and to any Joint Patents and such Joint Patents shall be deemed Company Applied Patents. C4X hereby assigns its entire interest in such Joint Patents to Company and shall execute, or cause its employees (or other persons with an obligation to assign their interest in such Joint Patents to C4X) to execute, any documents reasonably requested by Company to perfect Company’s title in such Joint Patents.
11.2    Cooperation
Each Party shall make available to the other Party (and to the other Party's authorised attorneys, agents or representatives) its employees, agents, subcontractors and consultants and relevant information and documentation in such Party's Control, in each case to the extent reasonably available, necessary and appropriate to enable the prosecuting Party to Handle Patents as set forth in Clause 11.1 and for periods of time reasonably sufficient for such Party to obtain the assistance it needs from such personnel. Where appropriate and without prejudice to Clause 11.1, each Party shall execute or use commercially reasonable efforts to procure the execution of all documents relating to such Patent applications or Patents at no charge to the other Party.
11.3    Infringement Claims
11.3.1    Infringement of Third Party Rights
(a)    Each Party shall promptly, but in any event no later than ten (10) days after receipt of notice of such action, notify the other in writing if any Third Party at any time provides written notice of a claim to, or brings an action, suit or proceeding against, either Party, or any of their respective Affiliates or sublicensees or subcontractors, claiming infringement of its Patent rights or unauthorised use or misappropriation of its Know-How, based upon an assertion or claim arising out of the Development, Manufacture or Commercialisation of a Licensed Product (an "Infringement Claim").
(b)    In the event that such Infringement Claim is brought (i) solely against Company in respect of a Licensed Product or Licensed Compound, (ii) jointly against Company and C4X in respect of a Licensed Product or Licensed Compound or (iii) solely against C4X in respect of a Licensed Product or Licensed Compound which claim against C4X, if successful, would adversely affect Company’s rights hereunder, then, in each case, Company shall have the first right but not the obligation to control the defence of such Infringement Claim. If Company assumes the defence of such Infringement Claim,
36


Company shall bear the costs of such defence (unless such Infringement Claim is indemnifiable by C4X pursuant to Clause 13.2). C4X will cooperate and assist Company in any such litigation controlled by Company and, unless such Infringement Claim is indemnifiable by C4X pursuant to Clause 13.2, Company shall reimburse C4X for any reasonable out of pocket costs in providing such assistance. For purposes of Clause 11, the Party that defends the Infringement Claim shall be referred to as the “Controlling Party”. In the event that Company is the Controlling Party in any action that was brought solely against C4X, C4X shall take actions to enable Company to assume control of such action, in the name of C4X if reasonably necessary.
(c)    In the event that such Infringement Claim is brought solely against C4X in respect of a Licensed Product or Licensed Compound, which claim, if successful, would not adversely affect Company’s rights hereunder, then C4X shall have the right but not obligation to defend such Infringement Claim at its sole expense, except to the extent such Infringement Claim is indemnifiable by Company pursuant to Clause 13.1. Company shall have the right to participate in (but not control), the defence of such action, at its cost and with its own counsel.
(d)    The Controlling Party will have the exclusive right to hire, dismiss and direct attorney(ies) and/or solicitor(s) to represent it (and in the event that the claim is brought against both Parties, to represent it and the other Party) with respect to the applicable Infringement Claims. The Controlling Party will have the exclusive right to settle any Infringement Claim without consent of the other Party, unless such settlement (i) would have an adverse impact on the other Party’s rights or ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) makes any admission regarding wrongdoing by the other Party, or the invalidity, unenforceability or absence of infringement of any Licensed Technology, (iii) subjects the other Party to an injunction or other equitable relief, or (iv) obligates the other Party to make a monetary payment, in each such case of (i)-(iv), the consent of the other Party shall be required and shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For purposes of clarity, any settlement that would involve the waiver of rights shall be deemed to have an adverse impact and shall require the consent of such other Party.
(e)    If Company wishes to assume control of the defence of any such Infringement Claim pursuant to Clause 11.3.1(b)(ii) or (iii), then Company may do so upon written notice to C4X. If Company does not exercise its right to control the defence of an Infringement Claim pursuant to Clause 11.3.1(b)(ii) or (iii), then the Parties shall jointly control the defence of such Infringement Claim. In such event, each Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel to participate in the defence of such Infringement Claim at its sole expense, and neither Party may settle such Infringement Claim without the consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(f)    If either Party becomes engaged in or participate in any suit described in this Clause 11.3, the other Party shall cooperate, and shall cause its and its Affiliates' employees to cooperate, with such Party in all reasonable respects in connection therewith.
(g)    If, as a result of any Infringement Claim, any royalties or other Losses are payable to a Third Party as a result of the Development, Manufacture or Commercialisation of a Licensed Product in the Field, then Company shall be solely responsible for the payment
37


of all such amounts, unless such Infringement Claim is indemnifiable by C4X pursuant to Clause 13.2. Any such royalties payable by Company shall be treated as a Third Party royalty payments subject to Clause 8.4.
11.3.2    Infringement by Third Parties
(a)    In the event that either Party becomes aware of actual or suspected infringement of C4X Patents or misappropriation of C4X Know-How by a Third Party, such Party shall provide written notice thereof to the other Party. In the event of such actual or suspected infringement or defence of declaratory judgement actions regarding Third Party infringement or misappropriation, or the validity or enforceability of the C4X Patents, the following provisions in this Clause 11.3.2 shall apply.
(b)    Company shall have the sole right to send written notices, warnings, or claims of infringement to such Third Party that may be infringing or misappropriating the C4X Patents, Company Applied Patents or C4X Know How. Company shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to institute and prosecute an action or proceeding to abate such infringement or misappropriation and to resolve such matter by settlement or otherwise. In the event a declaratory judgement action is brought regarding such Third-Party infringement, misappropriation, or the validity or enforceability of the C4X Patents, Company shall have the right, but not the obligation to be the Controlling Party for such action, even if C4X is the named defendant.
(c)    Company shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of any action or proceeding that Company initiates and maintains C4X shall cooperate fully as may be reasonably requested by Company upon reasonable notice, including by joining as a party claimant if required to do so by Applicable Laws to maintain such action or proceeding, to collect for Company's sole and exclusive benefit any and all damages, profits and awards of any nature recoverable for such infringements, by executing and making available such documents as Company may reasonably request, and by performing all other acts which are or may become necessary to vest in Company the right to institute any such suit, including by using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary joinder and/or cooperation in any such action or proceeding from applicable Third Parties. Company shall reimburse C4X for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in providing such cooperation.
(d)    If the Parties obtain any damages, license fees, royalties or other compensation (including any amount received in settlement of such litigation) from a Third Party in connection with a suit brought by a Party pursuant to this Clause 11.3.2, such amounts shall be allocated as follows: (i) in all cases to reimburse each Party for all expenses of such litigation, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, court costs and other litigation expenses (except attorneys’ fees incurred pursuant to Clause 11.3.3) and (ii) the balance shall be retained by Company, with Company paying a Royalty on such recovery as if such recovery were Net Sales of Licensed Product hereunder.
11.3.3    Right to Participate. C4X may, at its option and cost, participate in an advisory (and not controlling) capacity in any action brought pursuant to Clause 11.3 in which Company is the Controlling Party.
38


11.4    Patent Term Extensions
C4X shall and shall use reasonable efforts to procure that its Affiliates and any relevant Third Parties cooperate fully with Company to obtain any Patent term extensions, adjustment, restorations or supplemental protection certificates, including making available all required regulatory data and information under its Control and executing any required authorisations. All reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by C4X in connection with cooperation under this Clause 11.4 shall be borne by Company.

The Indemnifying Party shall have the initial right (but not obligation) to defend any Claim for which an Indemnitee seeks indemnification under this Agreement as contemplated in the preceding sentence so long as the Indemnifying Party provides notice of its assumption of defence within thirty (30) days of receiving such indemnification notice.

The Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation to be represented by counsel of its own selection and at its own expense.
43


13.3.3    Notwithstanding Clauses 13.3.1 and 13.3.2, upon written notice to the Indemnifying Party, an Indemnitee shall be entitled to assume the defence of any Third Party Claim for which it has sought indemnification hereunder, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of liability under Clause 13.1 or 13.2, as applicable, solely for such Third Party Claim and related Losses.

C4X PRESS RELEASE
c4xdiscoverylogo.jpg
C4X Discovery Holdings plc
("C4XD" or the "Company")
C4X Discovery signs licensing agreement with Indivior for addiction programme worth up to $294m
—     C4XD receives $10 million upfront, potential milestones totalling $284 million plus royalties
29 March 2018 - C4X Discovery Holdings plc (AIM: C4XD), a pioneering drug discovery company, today announces that it has signed a licensing agreement with Indivior UK Limited ("Indivior") to further develop and commercialise C4XD's oral Orexin-1 receptor antagonist ("C4X3256") for the treatment of addiction. C4X3256 aims to treat addiction by targeting the "craving" process itself and, therefore, can be applied across a broad range of substance use disorders. The treatment of addiction represents a substantial area of unmet medical need, forecast to be worth an estimated $13 billion per annum in 20181.
Under the terms of the agreement, C4XD will receive an upfront payment of $10 million and could receive up to $284 million of potential development, regulatory and commercialization milestones in addition to royalties. In turn, Indivior receives a global and exclusive license to C4X3256 and all other compounds in the same patent family and is responsible for the cost and execution of all further development of C4X3256. The agreement covers the development of Orexin-1 antagonists for multiple indications
C4X3256 has the potential to represent a major new method of treating addiction and related disorders. The Orexin-1 receptor is considered to be central to the brain's craving and reward pathways but to date a lack of specificity has hindered clinical development. C4XD's drug discovery engine has allowed the discovery of a highly specific Orexin-1 antagonist that targets Orexin-1 but not Orexin-2, which is targeted in the treatment of insomnia. C4X3256 is a novel, potent and selective oral Orexin-1 antagonist. It has demonstrated excellent preclinical efficacy and tolerability in several preclinical models of addiction.
Dr Clive Dix, CEO of C4X Discovery, said: "C4X Discovery is a pioneer in drug discovery and today's licensing agreement with Indivior, a world-leader in developing and commercialising treatments for addiction, highlights the ability of our drug discovery engine to generate best-in-class small-molecule candidates in high value therapeutic areas. Our goal is to drive returns through early-stage revenue-generating deals with the pharmaceutical industry. This agreement will allow us to accelerate the development of our portfolio to similar successful commercial arrangements and validates our business model."
The C4XD portfolio continues to progress as planned, and a full portfolio update will be given in C4XD's Interim Results in April 2018.
