If the exercise of LICENSEE’s rights under this Agreement in any country in the TERRITORY is the subject of a bona fide claim by a third party, filed in a court of competent jurisdiction after the date hereof, that the exercise of such rights infringes or conflicts with any intellectual property rights of such third party (a “Third Party Infringement Claim”), then

LICENSEE shall not have any of the rights granted herein in such country and shall have no obligation to pay LICENSOR any further payments under Article 4 of this Agreement with respect to any country of the TERRITORY until such claim is resolved by proper adjudication or settlement permitting LICENSEE to exercise LICENSEE’s rights under this Agreement in the applicable country of the TERRITORY.

Each indemnified Party hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) agrees that promptly upon its discovery of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnity under this Agreement, including the receipt of any demand, assertion, claim, action or proceeding, judicial or otherwise, by any third party (being referred to herein as a “Claim”), with respect to any matter as to which it claims to be entitled to indemnity under the provisions of this Agreement, it will give prompt notice thereof in writing to the Indemnifying Party (the “Indemnifying Party”), together with a statement of such information respecting any of the foregoing as it shall have. Such notice shall include a formal demand for indemnification under this Agreement.

The Indemnifying Party shall contest and defend, at its sole cost and expense, by all appropriate legal proceedings any Claim with respect to which it is called upon to indemnify the Indemnified Party under the provisions of this Agreement; provided, that notice of the intention to so contest shall be delivered by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party as soon as reasonably possible after (but no later than twenty [20] days from) the date of receipt by the Indemnifying Party of notice by the Indemnified Party of the assertion of the Claim. Any such contest may be conducted in the name and on behalf of the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party as may be appropriate. Such contest shall be conducted by reputable counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, but the Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to participate in such proceedings and to be represented by counsel of its own choosing at its sole cost and expense. The Indemnifying Party shall have full authority to determine all action to be taken with respect thereto; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not have the authority to subject the Indemnified Party to any obligation whatsoever (whether financial or the imposition of equitable or injunctive relief), other than the performance of purely ministerial tasks or obligations not involving material expense (for which the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed). If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to contest any such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the Indemnified Party.

8.5 Cooperation. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest or, if appropriate, in making any counterclaim against the PERSON asserting the Claim, or any cross-complaint against any PERSON, and the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for any expenses incurred by it in so cooperating.

8.6 Right to Participate. The Indemnified Party agrees to afford the Indemnifying Party and its counsel the opportunity to be present at, and to participate in, conferences with any PERSON, including governmental authorities, asserting any Claim against the Indemnified Party or conferences with representatives of or counsel for such PERSON.

any of those representations and warranties will survive the Effective Date until the longer to occur of: (i) two (2) years or (ii) the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation, including all periods of extension and tolling whereupon they will terminate and expire.

(b)

After a representation and warranty has expired, as provided in Subsection 13.4(a), no claim for claims or costs may be made or prosecuted by any Person who would have been entitled to claims or costs on the basis of that representation and warranty prior to its termination and expiration, provided that no claim presented in writing for claims or costs to the Person or Persons from which or whom those damages are sought on the basis of that representation and warranty prior to its termination and expiration will be affected in any way by that termination and expiration.

ARTICLE 14—LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

EXCEPT FOR ANY LIABILITY TO ANY THIRD PARTIES PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 8 OR TO A PARTY PURSUANT TO ARTICLES 12 AND 13 OF THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR OR LICENSEE OR THEIR, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ECONOMIC DAMAGE OR INJURY TO PROPERTY AND LOST PROFITS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER LICENSOR OR LICENSEE SHALL BE ADVISED, SHALL HAVE OTHER REASON TO KNOW, OR IN FACT SHALL KNOW OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

ARTICLE 15—MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

15.1 CORPORATE PARTNERSHIPS. In the event LICENSEE enters into a corporate partnership for the joint development of any of the LICENSED TECHNOLOGY, and LICENSEE sublicenses the LICENSED TECHNOLOGY to a third party, then payments required hereunder shall not include funds provided for sponsored research or equity investments by any third party so long as such payments do not constitute a majority of funds transferred by such third party. However if the sponsored research involves fees in excess of industry standard reimbursement for FTEs or any equity investment in excess of fair market value, LICENSEE shall pay to LICENSOR a royalty on such excess fees calculated at the rates specified herein.

15.3 FUTURE TECHNOLOGY LICENSES. LICENSOR agrees to license to LICENSEE, on a non-exclusive basis and limited to the GENERAL FIELD, the right to practice inventions claimed in patents owned or controlled by ACT (and for which ACT has the right to grant such a license), which patents have a priority date of September 1, 2012 or earlier. Such license will be sublicensable only once in a given field of use; or for the purpose of having LICENSED PRODUCTS produced, made, or distributed; or in connection with a merger or consolidation of LICENSEE into another company or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of LICENSEE. LICENSOR shall also have no obligations hereunder with respect to technology licenses it has or may acquire if such licenses restrict sublicensing in a manner inconsistent with this subparagraph.

15.4 LICENSEE shall comply with all local, state, federal and international laws and regulations relating to the development, manufacture, use, provision, and sale of LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES and LICENSED SERVICES. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, LICENSEE agrees to comply with the following:

LICENSEE shall obtain all necessary approvals from the FDA, USDA, or any similar governmental authorities of any foreign jurisdiction in which LICENSEE intends to make, use, or sell LICENSED PRODUCTS or to perform LICENSED PROCESSES or LICENSED SERVICES.

LICENSEE shall comply fully with any and all applicable local, state, federal and international laws and regulations relating to the LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES and LICENSED SERVICES, and the PATENT RIGHTS, in the TERRITORY, including without limitation all export or import regulations and rules now in effect or as may be issued from time to time by any governmental authority which has jurisdiction relating to the export of LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED PROCESSES or LICENSED SERVICES and any technology relating thereto. LICENSEE hereby gives written assurance that it will comply with all such import or export laws and regulations (including without limitation all Export Administration Regulations of the United States Department of Commerce), that it bears sole responsibility for any violation of such laws and regulations, and that it will indemnify, defend, and hold LICENSOR harmless (in accordance with Article 8) for the consequences of any such violation.

To the extent that any invention claimed in the PATENT RIGHTS has been partially funded by the United States Government, and only to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, LICENSEE agrees that any LICENSED PRODUCTS used or sold in the United States will be manufactured substantially in the United States or its territories. Current law provides that if a domestic manufacturer is not commercially feasible under the circumstances, LICENSOR may seek a waiver of this requirement from the relevant federal agency on behalf of LICENSEE and, upon LICENSEE’S request, shall cooperate with LICENSEE in seeking such a waiver.

15.5 LICENSEE shall not create or incur or cause to be incurred or to exist any lien, encumbrance, pledge, charge, restriction or other security interest of any kind upon the PATENT RIGHTS, but may cause to be incurred or to exist a lien, encumbrance, pledge, charge, restriction or other security interest on its rights to the LICENSED TECHNOLOGY hereunder, provided such security interest does not affect LICENSOR’s rights to the LICENSED TECHNOLOGY, or any of LICENSOR’s rights under this Agreement.

15.6 Neither Party shall originate any publicity, news release or other public announcement (“Announcements”), written or oral, relating to this Agreement or the existence of an arrangement between the Parties, without the prior written approval of the other Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except as otherwise required by law. The foregoing notwithstanding, LICENSOR and LICENSEE shall have the right to make such Announcements without the consent of the other Party in any prospectus, offering memorandum, or other document or filing required by applicable securities laws or other applicable law or regulation, provided that such Party shall have given the other Party at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the proposed text for the purpose of giving the other Party the opportunity to comment on such text.

15.7 No implied licenses are granted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. No licensed rights shall be created by implication or estoppel.

15.8 DELETED.

15.9 To the extent commercially feasible, and consistent with prevailing business practices and applicable law, all LICENSED PRODUCTS sold pursuant to this Agreement will be marked with the number of each issued patent that applies to such LICENSED PRODUCTS.

15.10 This Agreement shall be construed, governed, interpreted and applied in accordance with the laws of the State of California, U.S.A. without regard to principles of conflicts of law thereof, except that questions affecting the construction and effect of any patent shall be determined by the law of the country in which the patent was granted.

15.11 The Parties agree that the “Exclusive License Agreement (ACT IP)”, dated May 14, 2004 along with the “First Amendment to Exclusive License Agreement (ACT IP)” dated August 25, 2005, are terminated by mutual agreement and that all of the provisions of that agreement and amendment are superseded in their entirety by this Amended and Restated License Agreement. The Parties hereto acknowledge that this Amended and Restated License Agreement sets forth the entire Agreement and understanding of the Parties hereto as to the subject matter hereof, and shall not be subject to any change or modification except by the execution of a written instrument signed by the Parties hereto.

15.12 The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and in the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any controlling body of the law, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof.

15.13 The failure of either Party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition by the other Party.

15.14 This Agreement may not be assigned by LICENSEE without the prior written consent of LICENSOR, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LICENSEE may assign this Agreement to an Affiliate or to a successor in connection with the merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or that portion of its business to which this Agreement relates, so long as the Affiliate or purchaser of the assets agrees to assume any and all outstanding liabilities to LICENSOR under this Agreement. LICENSOR may not assign this Agreement without the consent of LICENSEE, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that LICENSOR may assign this Agreement to an affiliate or to a successor in connection with the merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or that portion of its business to which this Agreement relates.

15.15 This Agreement has been prepared jointly and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either Party. In this Agreement, the singular shall include the plural and vice versa and the word “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

15.16 This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

15.17 All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by LICENSOR to LICENSEE are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Paragraph 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”), licenses to rights in “intellectual property” as defined in the Code. The Parties hereto agree that LICENSEE, as a LICENSEE of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Code. The Parties hereto further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against LICENSOR including a proceeding under the Code, LICENSEE shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, including the PATENT RIGHTS and KNOW-HOW, and the same, if not already in LICENSEE’s possession, shall be promptly delivered to LICENSEE upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon written request therefore by LICENSEE.
