13 *Confidential Treatment Requested.

CONFIDENTIAL

of the same milestone for Licensed Products for use in the CPVT Field or a previously substituted Additional Disease Indication. To the extent that either of the first two development milestones in Section 3.4.1 (i.e., first treatment of a human subject in a clinical trial or first treatment in Phase 3 Clinical Trial in the applicable Disease Indication) has not been paid at the time of achievement of either the NDA or Marketing Authorization submission milestone within the same Disease Indication (i.e., milestones 3 and 4 in Section 3.4.1), then, upon the achievement of either of such submission milestones, the preceding unpaid development milestone payments within such Disease Indication shall be made in addition to the payment corresponding to the applicable submission milestone that has been achieved.

3.5 Royalties.

3.5.1 In consideration of the rights and licenses granted to Licensee under this Agreement, Licensee shall pay to Licensor the following royalties based upon the annual Net Sales worldwide of all Licensed Products in a given calendar year, subject to the reductions in royalty rates set forth in Section 3.5.2:

Portion of Net Sales in a calendar year between (and including) $300,000,000 U.S. Dollars through (and including) $600,000,0000 U.S. Dollars		[*]%
Portion of Net Sales in a calendar year greater than $600,000,000 U.S. Dollars		[*]%

3.5.2 Third Party Royalties Stacking Provision. If Licensee must obtain a license from a Third Party to avoid infringement of such Third Party’s rights in order to manufacture, use, or commercialize a given Licensed Product and if the royalties required to be paid to such Third Party for such license, together with those royalties payable to Licensor, in the aggregate, exceed [*] percent ([*]%) of Net Sales for any Licensed Product, then the royalty owed to Licensor for that Licensed Product will be reduced by an amount calculated as follows:

STACKING ROYALTY CALCULATIONS

R = (C * (A / (A+B)))

Where

R = reduction of Licensor royalty,

A = unreduced Licensor royalty,

B = sum of all Third Party royalties,

C = increment of projected total royalty above [*]%.

14 *Confidential Treatment Requested.

CONFIDENTIAL

Example Calculation:

		Assume:		i) all Third Party royalties = [*]%
				ii) unreduced Licensor royalty = [*]%
				iii) projected total royalty = [*]%

R = ([*] – [*]) * ([*] / ([*] + [*]))

R = ([*] * [*])

R = [*]

Licensor Stacked Royalty = [*] – [*] = [*]%

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee will pay to Licensor no less than [*] percent ([*]%) of the royalties that Licensee would otherwise pay to Licensor with respect to Net Sales if there were no royalties due to Third Parties.

3.5.3 Royalty Payment Period. Licensee’s obligation hereunder for payment of a royalty under this Section 3.5 on the Net Sales of Licensed Products in a given country will end on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis when the Licensed Product ceases to infringe or be covered by a Valid Claim within the Licensed Patents in that country. For clarity, only one royalty, determined in accordance with this Section 3.5, is payable on the Net Sales of any unit of a Licensed Product.

3.6 Sublicense Fees & Priority Review Voucher Transfer Fee.

3.6.1 In further consideration of the rights and licenses granted to Licensee under this Agreement, Licensee will pay Licensor [*] percent ([*]%) of any sublicense fees (including upfront and milestone payments) received by Licensee or its Affiliates for the Licensed Products from any Sublicensee or from any person or entity granted any option to obtain a sublicense.

3.6.2 In further consideration of the rights and licenses granted to Licensee under this Agreement, Licensee will pay Licensor [*] percent ([*]%) of the fees related to the sale or other transfer to a Third Party rights under any priority review voucher issued in connection with or otherwise related to a Licensed Product, provided, however, that this clause shall not apply to any such sale or other transfer that is made in connection with a change of control of Licensee or its Affiliates.

3.6.3 With respect to the obligations under this Section 3.6, Licensee shall not be required to submit any amounts received from a Third Party for the following:

(a) Reimbursement or payment of Licensee’s actual costs or on an arm’s length cost plus arrangement for research, development, and/or manufacturing activities performed by Licensee or its Affiliates corresponding directly to the research, development and/or manufacturing of Licensed Products pursuant to a specific agreement;

(b) Any and all amounts paid to Licensee or its Affiliates by a Sublicensee as royalties (or other similar payments, e.g., profit share) on sales of Licensed Product sold by the Sublicensee under a sublicense agreement; and

(c) Consideration received for the purchase of an equity interest in Licensee or its Affiliates at fair market value or in the form of loans at arm’s length rates of interest.

3.6.4 If Licensee or its Affiliates receives sublicense fees from Sublicensees or from any person or entity granted any option to obtain a sublicense under this Agreement in the form of non-cash consideration, then Licensee shall pay Licensor a cash payment as required under this Section 3.6 determined based on the fair market value of such non-cash consideration. If Licensee or its Affiliate enters into any sublicense that is not an arm’s length transaction, fees due under this Section 3.6 will be calculated based on the fair market value of such transaction, at the time of the transaction, assuming an arm’s length transaction made in the ordinary course of business, as determined jointly by Licensor and Licensee based on transactions of a similar type and standard industry practice, if any.

3.6.5 To the extent Licensee receives payment from a Third Party relating to one or more of the milestone events set forth in the table in Section 3.4, then the amount of the payment made to Licensor under such Section 3.4 with respect to such milestone event shall not be deemed sublicense fees under this Section 3.6; instead, the amounts due under this Section 3.6 shall be calculated by applying the applicable sublicense fee rate set forth in Section 3.6.1 above to the sublicense fees received by Licensee from such Third Party after deducting the amount of the payment under Section 3.4.

3.7 Reports and Records.

3.7.1 Licensee must deliver to Licensor within [*] after the end of each Calendar Quarter after the first commercial sale of a Licensed Product a report setting forth the calculation of the royalties due to Licensor for such Calendar Quarter, including:

Licensee will promptly pay to Licensor the amount of any underpayment determined by the review or audit, plus accrued interest. If the review or audit determines that Licensee has underpaid any payment by [*] or more, then Licensee will also promptly pay the costs and expenses of Licensor and the REGENXBIO Licensors and their respective accountants in connection with the review or audit.

At the request of Licensee, Licensor will give Licensee such reasonable assistance, which will include the provision of documentation as may be required by the relevant tax authority, to enable Licensee to pay and report and, as applicable, claim exemption from or reduction of, such tax, duty, levy, fee, or charge.

3.9.2 If any payment made by Licensee hereunder becomes subject to withholding taxes with respect to Licensor’s gross or net income under the laws of any jurisdiction, Licensee will deduct and withhold the amount of such taxes for the account of Licensor to the extent required by law and will pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper governmental authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to Licensor appropriate proof of payment of such withholding taxes. At the request of Licensor, Licensee will give Licensor such reasonable assistance, which will include the provision of appropriate certificates of such deductions made together with other supporting documentation as may be required by the relevant tax authority, to enable Licensor to claim exemption from or reduction of, or otherwise obtain repayment of, such withholding taxes, and will upon request provide such additional documentation from time to time as is reasonably required to confirm the payment of withholding tax.

7.2.2 As between Licensor and Licensee, but subject to any obligations of Licensor to the REGENXBIO Licensors, Licensor shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to prosecute any such infringement at its own expense and [*] in connection therewith that are unrelated to the manufacture, use or sale of Licensed Products, with damages recovered in connection with any infringement related to the manufacture, use or sale of Licensed Products shall be [*]. In any action to enforce any of the Licensed Patents, Licensee, at the request and expense of Licensor, shall cooperate to the fullest extent reasonably possible, including in the event that, if Licensor is unable to initiate or prosecute such action solely in its own name, Licensee shall join such action voluntarily and shall execute all documents necessary to initiate litigation to prosecute, maintain, and settle such action. Nothing in this Agreement obligates Licensor to bring or prosecute lawsuits against Third Parties for infringement of any Licensed Patents.

7.2.3 Licensee shall have no right to undertake prosecution of any such infringement.

7.3 Defense of Infringement Claims. In the event Licensee or Licensor becomes aware that Licensee’s or any of its Affiliates’ or any Sublicensees’ practice of the Licensed Patents is the subject of a claim for patent infringement by a Third Party, that Party shall promptly notify the other, and the Parties shall consider the claim and the most appropriate action to take.

8.4.3 Indemnification Procedure. Each Party, as an indemnifying party (an “Indemnifying Party”), shall not be permitted to settle or compromise any claim or action giving rise to Third Party Liabilities in a manner that imposes any restrictions or obligations on any indemnified party (an “Indemnified Party”) without the other Party’s prior written consent or, if Licensee is the Indemnifying Party, that grants any rights to the Licensed Patents or Licensed Products other than those Licensee has the right to grant under this Agreement without Licensor’s prior written consent. The Indemnifying Party shall be permitted to control any litigation or potential litigation involving the defense of any claim subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.4, including the selection of counsel, with the reasonable approval of the Indemnified Party. Upon the Indemnifying Party’s reasonable request, the Indemnified Parties will reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense and settlement of any such claim, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense. If an Indemnifying Party fails or declines to assume the defense of any such claim or action within [*] after notice thereof, the Indemnified Party may assume the defense of such claim or action at the cost and risk of the Indemnifying Party, and any Third Party Liabilities related thereto shall be conclusively deemed a Third Party Liability of the Indemnifying Party.

10.6 Dispute Resolution. In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Parties shall first attempt to resolve such controversy or claim through good faith negotiations for a period of not less than [*] following notification of such controversy or claim to the other Party.

The arbitration shall be conducted as follows:

10.6.1 The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators, each of whom by training, education, or experience has knowledge of the research, development, and commercialization of biological therapeutic products in the United States. The arbitration shall be conducted in English and held in New York, New York.

10.6.2 In its demand for arbitration, the Party initiating the arbitration shall provide a statement setting forth the nature of the dispute, the names and addresses of all other parties, an estimate of the amount involved (if any), the remedy sought, otherwise specifying the issue to be resolved, and appointing one neutral arbitrator.

Within [*] from the date on which the responding Party appoints its neutral arbitrator, the first two arbitrators shall appoint a chairperson.

Each of the Parties will bear its own counsel fees and the expenses of its witnesses except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement or by applicable law.

10.6.7 Compliance with this Section 10.6 is a condition precedent to seeking relief in any court or tribunal in respect of a dispute, but nothing in this Section 10.6 will prevent a Party from seeking equitable or other interlocutory relief in the courts of appropriate jurisdiction, pending the arbitrators’ determination of the merits of the controversy, if applicable to protect the confidential information, property, or other rights of that Party or to otherwise prevent irreparable harm that may be caused by the other Party’s actual or threatened breach of this Agreement.

10.7 No Discrimination. Licensee and its Affiliates, and Licensee shall require that any Sublicensees, in their respective activities under this Agreement, shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, sex, sexual, or affectional preference, age, religion, national, or ethnic origin, handicap, or because he or she is a disabled veteran or a veteran (including a veteran of the Vietnam Era).

10.8 Compliance with Law. Licensee (and its Affiliates’ and any Sublicensees’) must comply with all prevailing laws, rules, and regulations that apply to its activities or obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that this Agreement may be subject to United States laws and regulations controlling the export of technical data, computer software, laboratory prototypes, and other commodities, articles, and information, including the Arms Export Control Act as amended in the Export Administration Act of 1979 and that Licensee’s obligations are contingent upon compliance with applicable United States export laws and regulations. The transfer of certain technical data and commodities may require a license from the cognizant agency of the United States Government and/or written assurances by Licensee that Licensee shall not export data or commodities to certain foreign countries without prior approval of such agency. Licensor neither represents that a license is not required nor that, if required, it will issue.

10.9 Entire Agreement.

10.11 Severability and Reformation. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such invalid or unenforceable provision will be automatically revised to be a valid or enforceable provision that comes as close as permitted by law to the Parties’ original intent; provided that, if the Parties cannot agree upon such valid or enforceable provision, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, unless the invalid or unenforceable provisions are of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement without the invalid or unenforceable provisions.

10.12 Further Assurances. Each Party hereto agrees to execute, acknowledge, and deliver such further instruments, and to do all other reasonable acts, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.
