If there is any dispute as to whether Licensee has structured any arrangements it has entered into with *** so as to maximise the sums for which Lonza is required to indemnify them under Clause 7.2A and/or reduce the licence fees or other payments which Licensee is required to pay to *** , the matter shall be referred to an independent third party (“Expert”) who shall assess the terms of any settlement and licence arrangement with *** and determine how much of any such settlement and licence arrangement attributable as damages for historic infringement (and therefore the subject of the indemnity from Lonza under Clause 7.2A) and how much is attributable to any new licence arrangements between Licensee and *** , to which the provisions of Clause 5.4(a) and (b) shall apply. The Expert must be a person with an appropriate level of expertise in licensing and / or valuation to be able to determine the dispute, and must be agreed to by the parties, or if not agreed within a reasonable time of the dispute arising, must be appointed by the then President of the Licensing Executives Society of Britain & Ireland.

6. Royalty Procedures

 

6.1 Licensee shall, and shall ensure that its Sublicensees shall, keep true and accurate records and books of account containing all data necessary for the calculation of royalties payable to Lonza. Such records and books of account shall, upon reasonable notice having been given by Lonza (which in no event shall be less than thirty (30) days prior notice), be open at all reasonable times during regular business hours for inspection by independent auditors selected by Lonza and reasonably acceptable to Licensee. Such independent auditors shall agree to maintain the confidentiality of the information and materials disclosed during the audit. Any such audit shall be conducted in a manner that does not interfere unreasonably with the operations of Licensee’s business. Lonza may perform an audit once each calendar year. Each audit shall begin upon the date specified by Lonza and shall be completed as soon as reasonably practicable. Lonza shall pay the costs of the independent auditors conducting such audit, unless the results of the audit reveal an underpayment of 5% or more by Licensee, in which case, Licensee shall pay the reasonable costs of the independent auditors. If an audit concludes that an overpayment or underpayment has occurred during the audited period, such payment shall be remitted by the party responsible for such payment to the other party within thirty (30) days after the date such auditor’s written report identifying the overpayment or underpayment is delivered to the party responsible for such payment.

 

6.2 Licensee shall prepare a statement in respect of each calendar quarter which shall show for the immediately preceding quarter details of the sales of Product on a country by country basis and the royalty due and payable to Lonza thereon.

Such statement shall be submitted to Lonza within thirty (30) days after the end of the calendar quarter to which it relates, together with a remittance for the royalties due to Lonza.

 

6.3 All sums due under this Agreement:

 

  6.3.1 shall be made in pounds sterling to Lonza. Payments due to Lonza in currencies other than pounds sterling shall first be calculated in the relevant local currency before being calculated at the rate of exchange in effect at the close of business on the day payment is due or made, whichever is earlier, provided always that where payment is made after the date provided therefor herein conversion shall be at the rate in effect at the date of payment if this is more favourable to Lonza. The rate of exchange shall be the mean value of the Pound Spot Rate in London first published in the Financial Times on the day following the day for determining such rates.

 

  6.3.2 are exclusive of any Value Added Tax or of any other applicable taxes, levies, imposts, duties and fees of whatever nature imposed by or under the authority of any government or public authority, and shall be paid by Licensee (other than taxes on Lonza’s income). The parties agree to co-operate in all respects reasonably necessary to take advantage of such double taxation treaties as may be available.

 

6.4 Where Lonza does not receive payment of any sum by the due date, interest shall accrue thereafter on the sum due and owing to Lonza at the rate of two percent (2%) per annum over the base rate from time to time of National Westminster Bank plc, interest to accrue on a day-to-day basis without prejudice to Lonza’s right to receive payment on the due date.

7.3 Subject to Clause 5.4, the Licensee hereby acknowledges that in order to exploit the rights granted herein the Licensee may require licences under Lonza patent rights (other than those herein licensed) or under third party patent rights (including those vested in Affiliates of Lonza) that may be infringed by the use by the Licensee of the rights licensed herein and it is hereby agreed that it shall be the Licensee’s responsibility to satisfy itself as to the need for such licences and if necessary to obtain such licences.

 

7.4 Each party (“Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) at all times in respect of any and all Losses suffered or incurred as a result of any contractual, tortious or other claims or proceedings by third parties (collectively “Third Party Claims”) against Indemnified Party arising out of the Indemnifying Party’s breach of this Agreement, including breach of representations and warranties, violation of applicable law, negligence or wilful misconduct.

 

7.5 With respect to product liability claims or proceedings, the following shall apply: (a) except to the extent provided in (b) below, Licensee shall indemnify and hold harmless Lonza, its Affiliates and their respective officers, employees and agents at all times in respect of any and all losses, damages, costs and expenses suffered or incurred as a result of any tortious claims or proceedings of death or bodily injury (in each case to humans) relating to the Product, and (b) Lonza shall indemnify and hold harmless Licensee, its Affiliates and their respective officers, employees and agents at all times in respect of any and all losses, damages, costs and expenses suffered or incurred as a result of any tortious claims or proceedings of death or bodily injury (in each case to humans) relating to the Product to the extent such claims or proceedings result from defects in the Cell Lines and Vectors, or from Lonza’s breach of this Agreement.

 

7.6 Notice. If a party receives notice of any claim for an indemnity under Clauses 7.4 or 7.5 (an “Indemnifying Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall, as promptly as is reasonably possible, give the Indemnifying Party notice thereof; provided, however, that failure to give such notice promptly shall only relieve the Indemnifying Party of any indemnification obligation hereunder to the extent such failure diminishes the ability of the Indemnifying Party to respond to or to defend the Indemnified Party against such Indemnifying Claim of the Indemnifying Party. The parties shall consult and cooperate with each other regarding the response to and the defence of any such indemnifying claim and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defence or represent the interests of the Indemnified Party in respect of such indemnifying claim of the Indemnifying Party, that shall include the right to select and direct legal counsel and other consultants to appear in proceedings on behalf of the Indemnified Party and to propose, accept or reject offers of settlement, all at its sole cost; provided, however, that no such settlement shall be made without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnified Party shall not agree any settlement of any such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Nothing herein shall prevent the Indemnified Party from retaining its own counsel and participating in its own defence at its own cost and expense.

 

7.7 Any condition or warranty other than those relating to title which might otherwise be implied or incorporated within this Agreement by reason of statute or common law or otherwise is hereby expressly excluded.

7.9 The terms of this Clause 7 shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for whatever reason.

 

8. Confidentiality

 

8.1 Licensee expressly acknowledges that Confidential Information disclosed by Lonza pursuant to this Agreement is supplied in circumstances imparting an obligation of confidence and Licensee agrees to keep such Confidential Information secure, secret and confidential and undertakes to respect Lonza’s proprietary rights therein and to use the same for the sole purpose of this Agreement and not during the period of this Agreement or at any time for any reason whatsoever to disclose, cause or permit to be disclosed such Confidential Information to any third party other than its Sublicensee hereunder for use in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Licensee shall procure that only its employees and employees of its Sublicensee hereunder shall have access to Confidential Information and then only on a need to know basis and that all such employees shall be informed of their secret and confidential nature and shall be subject to the obligations of confidentiality and non-use no less stringent than those set out herein.

 

8.2 Licensee hereby undertakes and agrees to keep the System and the CDACF Version 8 System secure and safe from loss, damage, theft, misuse and unauthorised access and shall procure that the System and the CDACF Version 8 System shall be made available only to employees of Licensee and employees of its Sublicensee hereunder on a need to know basis and subject to the same obligations of confidence as provided in Clause 8.1 hereof, and to use the same for the sole purpose of this Agreement.

 

8.3 Both parties undertake and agree not to at any time for any reason whatsoever disclose or permit to be disclosed to any third party or otherwise make use of or permit to be made use of any trade secrets or confidential information or materials relating to the business affairs or finances of the other or of any suppliers, agents, distributors, licensees or other customers of the other which comes into their possession pursuant to this Agreement.

 

8.4 The obligations of confidence referred to in this Clause 8 shall not extend to any information which the receiving party demonstrates:

 

  8.4.1 is or shall become generally available to the public otherwise than by reason of a breach by the recipient party of such information of the provisions of this Clause 8;

 

  8.4.2 is known to the recipient party of such information and is at its free disposal prior to its receipt from the other;

 

15


CONFIDENTIAL   LOGO

 

  8.4.3 is subsequently disclosed to the recipient party without obligations of confidence by a third party owing no such obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party; or

 

  8.4.4 can be demonstrated by competent written evidence as having been independently developed by the recipient of the information in question without access to or use or knowledge of the information of the disclosing party.

 

8.5 Notwithstanding the foregoing it is acknowledged between the parties that Lonza or Licensee may be required to disclose Confidential Information to a government agency for the purpose of any statutory, regulatory or similar legislative requirement applicable to the production of Product, or to a court of law or to meet the requirements of any Stock Exchange to which the parties may be subject. In such circumstances the disclosing party will inform the other party prior to disclosure being made as to the nature of the required disclosure, shall only make the disclosure to the extent legally required and shall seek to impose obligations of secrecy wherever possible. Notwithstanding such disclosure such Confidential Information shall otherwise remain subject to this Clause 8.

 

8.6 Each party hereto expressly agrees that any breach or threatened breach of the undertakings of confidentiality provided hereunder by a party may cause irreparable harm to the other party (“Non-Breaching Party”) and that money damages may not provide a sufficient remedy to the Non-Breaching Party for any breach or threatened breach. In the event of any breach and/or threatened breach, then in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, the Non-Breaching Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief and any other relief deemed appropriate by the Non-Breaching Party.

 

8.7 The obligations of both parties under this Clause 8 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for whatever reason.
