(a)thirty-five percent (35%), if such Biosimilar Product(s) represent(s) a total quantity sold of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the total quantity sold of such Licensed Product and such Biosimilar Product(s), in the aggregate, in such country in such Calendar Year, as determined by the number of unit equivalents for such Licensed Product and such Biosimilar Product(s), in the aggregate, during such Calendar Year (as measured by an IMS audit or other mechanism selected by Genenta and accepted by OSR);

 

or, as the case may be,

 

(b)fifty percent (50%), if such Biosimilar Product(s) represent(s) a total quantity sold of at least forty percent (40%) of the total quantity sold of such Licensed Product and such Biosimilar Product(s), in the aggregate, in such country in such Calendar Year, as determined by the number of unit equivalents for such Licensed Product and such Biosimilar Product(s), in the aggregate, during such Calendar Year (measured as described in clause (a) above).

 

Generic Competition” means, with respect to a particular Licensed Product in a particular country in the Territory, that one or more Biosimilar Products with respect to such Licensed Product is first commercialized in the market in such country after MAA approval and pricing approval (as applicable) have been granted by the applicable Regulatory Authority for such Licensed Product.

(b)subject to the exercise of the LHI Option under Section 2.2(b) hereof, for each Licensed Product in each Lympho Hematopoietic Indication for which Genenta has exercised the LHI Option during the LHI Option Period, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis and on an indication-by-indication basis, and within thirty (30) Business Days following the occurrence of a Milestone Event, the amount indicated in the table below under the column Milestone Payment A with respect to such Milestone Event (each “Milestone Payment A” and, together with the Milestone Payments B, the “Milestone Payments”).

 

In addition, if clinical proof of concept (PoC) is not achieved in the first Lympho Hematopoietic Indication in relation to which the LHI Option is exercised, and Genenta exercises the option set forth in Section 2.2(b) with respect to a second Lympho Hematopoietic Indication, then the first two (2) Milestone Payments A will be reduced by fifty percent (50%) for such second Lympho Hematopoietic Indication.

 

For clarity, for the purposes of determining milestone payments under this Section 4.7, a given Licensed Product includes all dosage strengths and formulations of such Licensed Product.

 

For clarity, each Milestone Event may be achieved by Genenta or any Sublicensees, and in either case, the corresponding Milestone Payment shall become due by Genenta upon such achievement.

OSR shall have the right and obligation to control the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of all patents and patent applications within the Licensed Patents (including, upon the exercise of the OPI Option, the patents and patent applications covering the OSR Product Improvements). The costs of the foregoing activities shall be borne by OSR prior to the achievement of the Investment Threshold, and, following such achievement by Genenta, who, for the avoidance of doubt, shall reimburse all costs borne by OSR in accordance with this Section 9.1 from the Effective Date to the date on which the Investment Threshold is met, provided however that should other licensees benefit from the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the said patents and patents applications, such costs shall be allocated on a pro-rata basis based on the number of licensees, to the extent such licensees are contractually obligated to bear such costs, on a country-by-country basis. Additionally,

 

(i)if Genenta exercises its OPI Option, then Genenta shall reimburse to OSR all costs borne by OSR prior to the OPI Option exercise with respect to the filing, prosecution and maintenance of the patents and patent applications covering the OSR Product Improvements, provided that all claims of such patents and patent applications are included in the Licensed Technology;

 

(ii)Genenta shall reimburse OSR for the costs incurred by OSR in connection with the filing, prosecution and maintenance activities related to the Optioned IP 1 and Optioned IP 2, including during the CP Option Periods for Candidate Products 1 and Candidate Products 2, respectively, provided that such obligation shall cease with respect to the Optioned IP 1 and/or Optioned IP 2 concurrent with the expiry of the applicable CP Option Periods for Candidate Products 1 and/or Candidate Products 2, as applicable, to the extent that Genenta has not exercised Option 1 (in which case, such obligation shall cease with respect to the Optioned IP 1) and/or Option 2 (in which case, such obligation shall cease with respect to the Optioned IP 2) during the applicable CP Option Periods.

All monies recovered upon the final judgment or settlement of such action shall be shared, after reimbursement of expenses, in relation to the damages suffered by each Party or, failing a bona fide agreement between the Parties, on a 50%-50% basis.

 

9.4Cooperation. In any suit to enforce and/or defend the Licensed Technology pursuant to this Section 9, the Party not in control of such suit shall, at the request and expense of the controlling Party, reasonably cooperate and, to the extent possible, have its employees testify when requested and make available relevant records, papers, information, samples, specimens, and the like, in any case in compliance with Section 8 above and to the extent that such cooperation is not precluded by any agreements executed by such cooperating Party with any Third Party.

 

9.5Third Party Rights. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any allegation by a Third Party that the activity of either Party pursuant to this Agreement, or the exploitation of any Licensed Technology, Genenta Product Improvements, or any Licensed Products infringes or may infringe the intellectual property rights of such Third Party.

10. TERMINATION

 

10.1Expiration. Unless terminated earlier as set forth below, this Agreement shall expire upon the expiration of the Royalty Term for all Licensed Products and all countries throughout the Territory (the “Term”). Following the expiration of the Royalty Term with respect to a given Licensed Product in all countries in the Territory, the licenses granted to Genenta hereunder with respect to such Licensed Product in such country shall become perpetual, non-exclusive, fully paid-up and royalty-free, irrevocable, transferrable and sublicensable through multiple tiers.

 

10.2Termination for breach. Without prejudice to Sections 10.3, should one Party materially breach any obligations set forth in this Agreement, then the non-breaching Party may deliver written notice of such breach to the other Party (“Breach Notice”), in accordance to Section 15.1 below, along with a warning to cure the breach and granting the non-breaching Party a sixty (60) Business Days period to cure the breach. Should the breaching Party fail to cure the breach within the aforementioned cure period, the non-breaching Party shall send written notice to the breaching Party confirming that the breach was not cured and this Agreement shall be terminated by law upon the expiry of the cure period, without prejudice to any further right or remedy accruing to the benefit of the non-breaching Party pursuant to Applicable Regulation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the allegedly breaching Party disputes in good faith the existence, materiality or cure of the applicable material breach and provides written notice of such dispute to the other Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Breach Notice or of the notice of termination, as applicable, then the matter will be addressed under the dispute resolution provisions in Section 16.2 and the termination will not become effective unless and until it has been finally determined under Section 16.2 that the allegedly breaching Party is in material breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement and has failed to cure the same (which cure period shall commence following such final determination). During the pendency of such a dispute, all of the terms of this Agreement will remain in effect and the Parties will continue to perform all of their respective obligations hereunder. In addition, if the allegedly breaching Party is Genenta, and such material breach is limited to one or more Licensed Products or countries, then OSR shall have the right, in its discretion, to terminate this Agreement solely with respect to Licensed Products and/or countries to which the material breach relates.

 

-38-

 

 

10.3Termination for failure to pay. Should Genenta fail to pay any undisputed

 

(i)Upfront Fee, ARLA One-time Fee, Royalty payment, Milestone Payment or OSR Sublicensing Income payable and due pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.5 and 4.6 hereunder, in each case within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable payment period set forth in Section 6.1 above, as the case may be, then OSR shall have right to terminate this Agreement, by sending a written notice to Genenta in accordance to Section 15.1 below, provided that such right to terminate shall be exercisable only prior to effective payment, by or on behalf of Genenta, of such undisputed amount(s);

 

(ii)any Option Fees or the option fee set forth in Section 2.11(iii) or any of the extension fees due and payable according to Sections 2.2(b), 2.11 and/or 10.4, in each case within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable deadlines as indicated in Section 6.1 above, as the case may be, then OSR shall have right to immediately terminate, by sending a written notice to Genenta in accordance to Section 15.1 below, the rights granted to Genenta as a consequence of the exercise of the applicable option according to Sections 2.3 or 2.11(iii) or the rights granted to Genenta as a consequence of the exercise of the right to an extension according to Sections 2.2(b), 2.11 and/or 10.4 (as applicable), provided that any such termination shall be in lieu of any right to receive payment arising from (including, without limitation, any late payment interest on) the exercise of the applicable option or extension.

 

10.4Termination for failure to develop. Without prejudice to Section 10.2, OSR is entitled to terminate, upon sixty (60) Business Days prior written notice to Genenta (to be sent in accordance to Section 15.1 below)

 

(a)this Agreement (pursuant to Section 10.4(z) below) in the event that Condition 1 and/or Condition 2 fail to occur on the third anniversary of the ARLA Effective Date (“Condition Date”) where

 

(i) “Condition 1” means (A) the Licensed Product for GBM is then-currently under clinical development by Genenta (or a Sublicensee), or (B) the first patient has then-been dosed by Genenta (or a Sublicensee) with a Licensed Product for a different Solid Cancer Indication (i.e., other than GBM) in a Phase I/II Clinical Trial; and

 

(ii) “Condition 2” means one (1) additional Licensed Product for a Solid Cancer Indication (other than the indication for the Licensed Product under clause (i) which is meeting Condition 1) is then-currently under development (which, for clarity, may include the conduct of pre-clinical studies) by Genenta (or a Sublicensee).

 

-39-

 

 

The Parties agree that:

 

(x) if, upon the Condition Date, (i) Condition 1 is not met due to the Licensed Product for GBM either being placed on clinical hold or safety issues having been identified by the safety board prior to the Condition Date, and (ii) Condition 2 is met; then (A) the Condition Date shall be postponed and extended to the date that is fifty-four (54) months after the ARLA Effective Date, and (B) Condition 1 shall be deemed satisfied if Genenta (or a Sublicensee) has filed an IND/IMPD for a Solid Cancer Indication (other than GBM and other than the Solid Cancer Indication of the Licensed Product meeting Condition 2);

 

(y) if, prior to the Condition Date, (i) the first patient was dosed by Genenta (or a Sublicensee) with a Licensed Product for GBM in a Phase III Clinical Trial, or (ii) at least five (5) patients were dosed by Genenta (or a Sublicensee) in a Phase I/II Clinical Trial with a Licensed Product for a different Solid Cancer Indication (i.e., other than GBM); then, if Condition 2 is not satisfied at the Condition Date, Genenta shall have the right to postpone and extend the Condition Date up to two (2) times (i.e., twice), in each case for an extension period of two (2) years (i.e., such extensions not to exceed four (4) years in total from the Condition Date) by (A) sending written notice to OSR at least 30 days prior to the Condition Date (as for the request of the first extension) or prior to the expiration of the first extension period (as for the request for the second extension), and (B) paying an amount equal to five hundred thousand Euro (€500,000.00) within thirty (30) days from the date of each such applicable extension notice. For the avoidance of doubt each two (2) year extension shall apply to all Solid Cancer Indications;

 

(z) in the event that a termination notice is sent by OSR to Genenta pursuant to this Section 10.4(a), this Agreement

 

shall terminate (and Genenta shall promptly wind-down and/or discontinue any further activity, taking into account patient safety concerns), and Section 10.7 shall apply, with respect to

 

all Solid Cancer Indications (other than GBM to the sole extent that upon the Condition Date a Licensed Product indicated for GBM is under clinical development (“Exception”));
to the extent that the LHI Option Period has not expired, the LHI Option will automatically terminate upon the Condition Date;

 

-40-

 

 

and OSR shall be free to grant any right to any third party with respect to the Licensed Technology and any OSR Product Improvement (to the extent not already included in the Licensed Technology, pursuant to the exercise of the OPI Option) to conduct research and to develop, make, have made, use, offer for sale, sell and import Licensed Products (and, for the avoidance of doubts, Other Products) in the Territory in the Field of Use (other than GBM pursuant to the occurrence of the Exception; and, for the sake of clarity, outside of the Field of Use and with respect to any product). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the event that during the eighteen (18) months period following the effective date of termination of this Agreement, OSR intends to grant a license under the Licensed Technology to a Third Party to conduct research and to develop, make, have made, use, offer for sale, sell and/or import the Licensed Product that was under clinical development prior to the date of termination in the Territory and in such indication within the Field of Use for which such Licensed Product was developed under this Agreement, OSR shall first offer such license in writing to Genenta and the relevant written offer shall include the terms and conditions for the grant of such license. Should Genenta be interested in pursuing good faith negotiations with respect to the grant of such license, Genenta shall provide written notice of interest to OSR no later than forty-five (45) days from receipt of OSR’s written offer and the Parties shall have a ninety (90) day period to execute a license agreement in relation thereto. In the event that no notice of interest is delivered to OSR from Genenta during the above mentioned forty-five (45) day period or, having provided such notice of interest during such forty-five (45) day period, no agreement is executed by the Parties during the above mentioned ninety (90) day period, OSR shall be free to grant any right to any Third Party with respect to the Licensed Technology for such Licensed Product with respect to the applicable indication in the Field of Use;

 

shall not terminate with respect to the License granted by OSR to Genenta under this Agreement for the Lympho-Hematopoietic Indications, provided that the LHI Option was exercised prior to the Condition Date;

 

(b)this Agreement in the event that

 

(i) Genenta has exercised the LHI Option set forth in Section 2.2(b) with respect to one or more Lympho-Hematopoietic Indications and Genenta (or a Sublicensee) has not filed an IND with respect to the applicable Lympho-Hematopoietic Indication for which the LHI Option was exercised (the “Terminated LHI”) within three (3) years from the date of the exercise of the LHI Option, it being understood that in such case: (a) the termination of this Agreement shall apply only with respect to the Terminated LHI; (b) Genenta shall promptly wind-down and/or discontinue any further activity on the said Terminated LHI, taking into account patient safety concerns; and (c) the provisions of Section 10.7 below shall apply only with respect to such Terminated LHI; or

 

-41-

 

 

(ii) Genenta has exercised the LHI Option set forth in Section 2.2(b) with respect to three (3) Lympho-Hematopoietic Indications and Genenta (or a Sublicensee) has not filed an IND with respect to any such Lympho-Hematopoietic Indications for which the option was exercised, within three (3) years as of the date on which the relevant LHI Option was exercised, it being understood that in such case: (a) the termination rights shall apply to all Lympho-Hematopoietic Indications (but not to any Solid Cancer Indications, for which the provisions of this Agreement shall survive); (b) Genenta shall promptly wind-down and/or discontinue any further activity on all Lympho-Hematopoietic Indications, taking into account patient safety concerns; and (c) the provisions of Section 10.7 below shall apply only with respect to all Lympho-Hematopoietic Indications;

 

provided that, for each of (i) and (ii), in the event that a termination notice is sent by OSR to Genenta pursuant to this Section 10.4(b),

 

this Agreement shall not terminate (and shall remain in full force and effect) with respect to Solid Cancer Indications;
to the extent that the LHI Option Period has not expired, the LHI Option will automatically terminate upon the date on which the termination notice is sent by OSR and received by Genenta;

 

(c)this Agreement, in the event that commercialization of a Licensed Product is not started within 24 months from the grant of both (i) the MAA Approval and (ii) the pricing approval for such Licensed Product, provided that termination of the Agreement pursuant to this section 10.4(c) shall relate solely to such Licensed Product and to such country or region in relation to which both such MAA Approval and pricing approval were granted.

 

10.5Termination for winding-up of Genenta. To the extent permitted by the Applicable Regulation, OSR may terminate this Agreement, at no costs and with no compensation being due as a consequence of such termination, immediately upon written notice to Genenta, to be sent in accordance to Section 15.1 below, should Genenta (a) resolves its voluntary liquidation (also in accordance with the provisions of the Genenta Investment Agreement) or (b) be liquidated by in accordance with the Applicable Regulations.

 

10.6Termination by Genenta.

 

(a)In the event that no Licensed Product in the Field of Use can be successfully developed by Genenta under the Licensed Technology due to critical and objective technical or scientific reasons concerning the safety or efficacy of such Licensed Products, then Genenta may terminate this Agreement, upon one-hundred twenty (120) Business Days prior written notice to OSR, to be sent in accordance to Section 15.1 below. In such case, Section 10. 7 shall apply as well.

 

-42-

 

 

(b)Any withdrawal by Genenta of a non-conditional MAA Approval in any country or region shall be regarded as a termination by Genenta of this Agreement solely with respect to the applicable Licensed Product for which such non-conditional MAA Approval was withdrawn, and solely in the applicable country or region and for the applicable indication.

 

10.7Effect of termination. In any case of termination of this Agreement, without prejudice to the rights and remedies available under applicable law in the event of termination for breach, the following shall apply.

 

(a)Without prejudice to Sections 10.4(a)(z), the proviso under Section 10.4(b), Section 10.4(c) and Section 10.6(b) (collectively, the “Partial Termination Clauses”), all licenses and option rights granted to Genenta under this Agreement under the Licensed Technology, and any rights granted to and obligations undertaken by the Parties under this Agreement, shall immediately terminate without any monetary consideration by either party to the other party subject to this Section 10.7 and to Sections 10.8 and 10.9;

 

(b)if such termination becomes effective after the First Commercial Sale of any Licensed Product(s), then Genenta and its Sublicensees (through multiple tiers), as applicable, shall be permitted to distribute and sell all such Licensed Product(s) that were in inventory or in production on the date of such termination, for a period of twelve (12) months following the effective termination date, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

 

(c)OSR shall assume any sublicense entered into by Genenta with its Sublicensees, provided that and subject to: (i) such sublicense complies with clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 2.5 above; (ii) Genenta has first represented and warranted in writing to OSR that as of the effective date of such termination, such Sublicensee is then in full compliance with all terms and conditions of its sublicense; and (iii) such Sublicensee agrees in writing to assume all applicable obligations of Genenta under this Agreement with respect to the scope of the sublicense, it being understood and agreed that should even only one of the conditions and requirements set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above is not met and fulfilled, the relevant sublicense shall be and remain without effects as between Genenta and/or OSR and the relevant Sublicensee. For the sake of clarity, (x) in the event of a partial termination of this Agreement pursuant to the Partial Termination Clauses, this Section 10.7(c) shall apply only with respect to the terminated portion(s) of the Field of Use; and (y) in the event of a termination of the Agreement, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 10.6(b), this Section 10.7(c) shall not apply to the terminated Licensed Products with respect to the applicable terminated countries or regions;

 

-43-

 

 

(d)In the event of termination of this Agreement (including in the event of a termination limited to a portion of the Field of Use and/or to one or more Licensed Products in all countries and regions of the Territory), OSR shall have, for a period of forty-five (45) days beginning on the date of such termination (the “ROFN Period”), an exclusive right to negotiate in good faith with Genenta the terms and conditions for a possible grant of (i) the transfer and/or assignment, as applicable, to OSR (or its designee) of all MAA Approvals related to each Licensed Product in the Territory (in such portion of the Field of Use, if applicable), data, information, and regulatory files (such as e.g., IMPD, technical dossiers) relating to each Licensed Product in the Territory (in such portion of the Field of Use, if applicable), which may include the relevant drug master file, and all trademarks relating to such Licensed Products indicated in the NDA filed by Genenta with the FDA and/or in the MAA filed with the EMA (or in any similar file filed with any Regulatory Authority), and (ii) a license to OSR under all intellectual property rights relating to the Licensed Products accrued to the benefit of Genenta in accordance with this Agreement (including all patents and patents applications registered in the name of Genenta and covering the Licensed Products and/or the Genenta Product Improvements), in each case, for which Genenta has the right to grant a license at the time of such termination (such exclusive right to negotiate, the “ROFN”) . The ROFN will be exercisable by OSR by written notice to Genenta within such 45-day period and, in the event of such ROFN exercise, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith such terms and conditions (under commercially reasonable terms, including commercially reasonable consideration for the licenses contemplated under this Section 10.7(d)) for a period of up to ninety (90) days from the date of such notice (or such extended period, as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties). If Parties do not enter into any definitive agreement regarding such transfer and license (as applicable) during such ninety (90) day period (or such other time period, as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties, in writing), then during the twelve (12) months immediately following the expiry of such period, Genenta shall not assign or grant to any third party any right or license to the items and rights which were the subject matter of such negotiation under terms and conditions (including the consideration) that, taken as a whole, are more favorable to such third party than those last proposed by Genenta to OSR.

 

(e)In the event of any termination of this Agreement in its entirety, OSR shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume and take over, itself or through its designee, all then-existing and ongoing contracts and contractual arrangements that may have been entered into by Genenta with any Third Parties other than Sublicensees, related in any manner whatsoever to the ongoing development of the Licensed Products (but not any other products), including but not limited to all research contracts, for which assignment is possible without violating the terms and conditions of such contracts and contractual arrangements or applicable law, and without any additional cost to Genenta, and the Parties shall cooperate to promptly transfer or assign to OSR (or its designee), all such contracts and arrangements. To facilitate the assumption and taking over of any and/or all such existing and ongoing contracts or contractual arrangements as set forth above, Genenta agrees to provide a list identifying such contracts and contractual arrangements to OSR within twenty (20) Business Days following the effective date of such termination. OSR will then have one hundred forty-five (145) days from the receipt of that list (the “Election Period”) to make its election as to whether to assume and take-over any or all of the contracts and contractual arrangements, provided that during such periods, Genenta shall have no obligation to maintain any such contracts or contractual arrangements in effect if doing so would require or result in any cost to Genenta.

 

-44-

 

 

(f)Genenta shall pay to OSR within 30 days from the date of expiry or earlier termination the Additional License Fee set forth in Section 4.1(b)(y) (including in the event that earlier termination occurs prior to the first anniversary of the ARLA Effective date), as well as any other payment due under this Agreement (if such other payment obligation accrued prior to the date of termination).

 

10.8For the sake of clarity, in the event of termination pursuant to Section 10.4(a)(z) or the proviso under Section 10.4(b), the rights granted to Genenta according to Section 2.11 shall terminate only with respect to such portion of the Field of Use in relation to which the applicable partial termination occurred.

 

10.9Survival. Neither expiration or termination of this Agreement shall relieve either Party of any obligation accruing prior to such expiration or termination, and the provisions of Sections 1, 8, 10.7, 13, 14, 15 and 16 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

(b)OSR has not granted to any Third Party any right, license or other interest in the Licensed Technology which is or was in conflict with the rights granted to Genenta under this Agreement or the Last Amended License Agreement.

 

(c)To the best knowledge of OSR, OSR does not own or control any patent or patent application other than the Licensed Patents that are required or useful for the development, manufacturing or commercialization of the Licensed Products.

 

(d)To the best knowledge of OSR, (i) there are no pending or threatened claims, judgments or settlements against OSR relating to the Licensed Technology, and (ii) no Third Party has infringed or is infringing any Licensed Technology.

OSR makes no representations and no warranties of any kind, either express or implied, and particularly disclaims all warranties of validity of the Licensed Patents and/or that the patents will be granted with respect to the patent applications constituting Licensed Patents (as applicable), and/or that the exploitation of the Licensed Technology does not determine infringement of Third Parties’ rights and/or, more generally, of non-infringement, merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

11.3Genenta Additional Representations and Warranties. Genenta hereby covenants, represents and warrants to Genenta that, as of the ARLA Effective Date:

 

(a)The development of the Licensed Products under the Licensed Technology and this Agreement shall be conducted in accordance with the Applicable Regulations, including the cGCP and cGLP, as applicable, it being understood that this Section 11.3(a) shall not be applicable to the extent that any breach is imputable to OSR under the OSR-Genenta Scientific Collaboration Agreement;

 

(b)The manufacturing of the Licensed Products shall be conducted in accordance with the Applicable Regulations, including the cGMP, cGLP, as applicable.

 

12. INDEMNIFICATION

 

12.1Indemnification.

Genenta shall defend, indemnify and hold OSR harmless from any claim, demand, action or proceeding arising out of the infringement of Third-Party intellectual property rights by the Genenta Product Improvements or the Licensed Products, except to the extent such claim, demand, action or proceeding to the extent arising from (a) the Licensed Technology and/or (b) activities conducted by or on behalf of OSR under the OSR-Genenta Scientific Collaboration Agreement and/or the CPSRA.
