(i) The licenses granted to SGI in Article 10 will terminate upon the effective date of SGI’s opt-out (whether under Section 3.1 or Section 3.2), and SGI and its Affiliates will have no further rights to use any Unum Background Technology or Unum Program IP in connection with the relevant Reversion Product. SGI and its Affiliates will not continue to Research, Develop, Manufacture or Commercialize such Reversion Product. (ii) Effective upon the effective date of SGI’s opt-out (whether under Section 3.1 or Section 3.2), SGI hereby grants to Unum a worldwide, exclusive (even as to SGI) license, with the right to grant sublicenses (subject to Section 3.3(a)(iii) and Section 3.3(a)(iv)), under the SGI Background Technology and SGI Program IP (along with any other Patents or Know-How Controlled by SGI or its Affiliates that claim or cover such Reversion Product or its method of use or method of manufacture) as such Patents, Know-How and interests in Patents and Know-How exist as of the effective date of SGI’s opt-out (collectively, the “SGI Reversion IP”), to Research, Develop, Manufacture (but only to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.3(g)(iii)) and Commercialize (including to use, import, export, offer for sale and sell) such Reversion Product (and no other drug candidate or product); provided however, if Unum determines that an HSR Filing is required to be made to acquire such Reversion Product, then (A) Unum will notify SGI of its determination prior to the effective date of SGI’s opt-out, (B) the Parties will promptly make an HSR Filing in accordance with Section 18.7 and (C) the effective date of the grant of the license to such Reversion Product will be extended until the HSR Clearance Date.
