In particular, no facilities, resources or employees of *** or any other state funded organisation or Institution (“together “State Resources”) will be used in the performance of any Research Activities without the explicit prior written consent of Adaptimmune, except with respect to any fee-based services provided by the *** that are identified in the Research Plan and agreed to by Adaptimmune. Universal confirms and represents that any use of fee-based services from the *** in the performance of the Research Plan do not require the assignment or licensing of any Intellectual Property Rights first conceived in the performance of the Research Plan to the *** . Where such State Resources are agreed by Adaptimmune to be used, Adaptimmune reserves the right to negotiate any required agreement for the use of such State Resources directly with the relevant Third Party. Universal and Adaptimmune will cooperate and work together to agree any subcontracting terms with Third Parties, to the extent requested by Adaptimmune.

2.12. Third Party provision of Materials or Information. Where any part of the Research Program by Universal requires Universal to provide or facilitate access to any Third Party Information or Third Party Materials (including cell lines or cell materials or manufacturing services), such Third Parties shall be specified in the Research Plan and Adaptimmune shall be entitled, at its request, to be involved in discussions and negotiations with such Third Party. Any contractual obligations with such Third Party will be pre-approved by Adaptimmune and at Adaptimmune’s request, Adaptimmune may take over the negotiation of such relationship with Third Party. Where Adaptimmune does take over such negotiations, Universal approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required for any term or provision which would require Universal to perform any obligation or make any payment to such Third Party or otherwise incur any liability.

3. Management of Research Program

3.1. Formation of Joint Steering Committee. The Parties shall establish a “Joint Steering Committee” or “JSC” (the “JSC”) to oversee the Research Program. Each Party shall initially appoint three (3) representatives of such Party or its Affiliates to the JSC. The JSC may change its size from time to time by mutual consent of its members, provided that the JSC shall consist at all times of an equal number of representatives of each of Universal and Adaptimmune. Each Party may replace its JSC representatives at any time upon written notice to the other Party or may delegate performance to an alternative representative by written notice to the other Party where any representative cannot attend meetings or is unable to vote. The JSC may invite non-members (including consultants and advisors of a Party who are under an obligation of confidentiality consistent with this Agreement), but with a maximum of three (3) per Party, to participate in the discussions and meetings of the JSC, provided that such participants shall have no voting authority at the JSC. The JSC shall have a chairperson

*** Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment and filed separately with the Commission.

who shall be selected by Adaptimmune. The role of the chairperson shall be to convene and preside at meetings of the JSC, to prepare and circulate agendas and to ensure the preparation of minutes, but shall have no additional powers or rights beyond those held by the other JSC representatives. Attendance of representatives of a Party at meetings (including any associated travel or accommodation costs) of the JSC shall be at the cost and expense of the relevant Party.

3.2. Meetings. The JSC shall meet every three calendar months during performance of the Research Program unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to a different frequency for such meetings or as reasonably necessary. Meetings may be held in person or by telephone as agreed by the JSC. The JSC shall cease following completion of the Research Program.

3.3. Specific Responsibilities of the JSC. The JSC shall be responsible for overseeing the activities of the Parties under the Research Program. In addition to its general responsibilities, the JSC shall in particular, without limitations:

(i) approve the Research Plan;

(ii) oversee the implementation of the Research Plan;

(iii) oversee the conduct of research according to the Research Plan;

(iv) decide on discontinuation of studies in the Research Plan;

(v) decide on possible additional studies in the Research Plan;

(vi) decide on possible amendment of scope of the Research Plan;

(vii) resolve possible non-scientific issues (e.g. logistics and financial) directly relating to the Research Plan;

(viii) facilitate the flow of Information between the Parties in relation to the Research Plan; and

(ix) perform such additional functions in relation to the Research Program as the Parties may jointly agree from time to time.

The JSC shall not have any authority to amend the terms of this Agreement or to amend the level of any Development Milestone or Product Milestone or to expand the Research Plan beyond the Field.

3.4. Decision-Making of JSC. The JSC shall act by consensus. The representatives from each of (a) Universal and (b) Adaptimmune, will have, collectively, one (1) vote. If the JSC cannot reach consensus on an issue that comes before the JSC, then the Parties shall refer such matter to the CEO of Adaptimmune and the CEO of Universal (collectively, “the Senior Officers”). The Senior Officers shall use reasonable efforts to resolve such issue within thirty (30) days of the issue being referred to them. In the event that the Senior Officers cannot reach agreement, Adaptimmune shall have the casting vote to resolve such issue save where such issue would result in any of the following: (a) an increase in capital commitment for Universal which is not reimbursed by Adaptimmune; or (b) a material increase in resource commitment or financial commitment by Universal which is not reimbursed by Adaptimmune. Adaptimmune shall not use its decision-making authority to unreasonably increase the scope of the Research Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a dispute as to whether a

particular Phase of the Research Plan has been achieved (including without limitation for purposes of a Development Milestone being due), then Adaptimmune will not have the decision-making right and the Parties shall submit the dispute to an independent, neutral expert (mutually agreed in good faith) with biopharmaceutical expertise to determine whether the Phase or Development Milestone has been achieved. The Parties shall be bound by any such expert determination in the absence of manifest fraud and the non-prevailing Party shall pay the reasonable costs of such expert.

3.5. Project Committee. Day to day management of the Research Plan shall be carried out by a project committee comprised of at least one (1) project manager from each party. The Project Committee is a non-voting committee intended to facilitate collaboration between the parties and to manage performance of the Research Plan as against timescales set out in the Research Plan. The Project Committee shall meet on a regular basis at least monthly or as often as necessary to ensure management of the Research Program.

3.6. Other Sub-committees. Other sub-committees may be set up by the Parties from time to time during the Term in order to facilitate any particular Research Activities. The composition and scope of such sub-committees will be agreed by the JSC.

4. Reports and Audits relating to the Research Program

4.1. Recordkeeping. Universal shall prepare and maintain complete, current, accurate, organized and legible records of all Research Documentation in a manner reasonably acceptable to Adaptimmune as necessary for patent and regulatory purposes and in full compliance with applicable UK and US law.

Universal shall retain all Research Documentation and store such research Documentation securely for at least *** years from completion of such Research Documentation. Universal shall make all Research Documentation available at reasonable times upon reasonable notice for review by Adaptimmune, providing that such review shall be no more often than once per year. To the extent Adaptimmune requires access to the Research Documentation after termination of this Agreement in order to comply with its obligations under Applicable Law, such access right shall continue to apply after termination of this Agreement. In other cases the right of access shall cease on termination of this Agreement. Universal shall notify Adaptimmune prior to any destruction of any Research Documentation and afford Adaptimmune the opportunity to take over storage of such Research Documentation.

4.2. Audits. To the extent required for Adaptimmune to satisfy its obligations under Applicable Law, Adaptimmune may audit Universal, no more than once in any calendar year, for compliance with Applicable laws. Adaptimmune shall provide at least 20 Business Days’ notice of such requirement to audit. Universal will enable Adaptimmune or its designated Third Party inspector to carry out such audit including making all Research Documentation available, providing access to facilities used in the performance of the Research Program and providing access to relevant personnel in each case to the extent necessary for Adaptimmune to satisfy its obligations under Applicable Law. Universal will procure similar rights of access and audit from any Third Party sub-contractors it uses in the performance of the Research Program. To the extent Adaptimmune requires any audit after termination of this Agreement in order to

*** Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment and filed separately with the Commission.

comply with its obligations under Applicable Law, such audit right shall continue to apply after termination of this Agreement. In other cases the right of audit shall cease on termination of this Agreement.

4.3. Governmental Authority inspection. Universal will also permit any Governmental Authority to inspect its facilities and processes to the extent such Governmental Authority requires such inspection in relation to the performance of the Research Program or later supply and manufacture of Product by Adaptimmune. Universal will notify Adaptimmune if it receives any request for inspection by any Governmental Authority and provide Adaptimmune the opportunity to attend such inspection to the extent reasonable possible and in each case to the extent relevant to the Research Program or facilities used in the performance of the Research Program by Universal.

4.4. Non-conformance. Should any inspection (whether under Section 4.2 or 4.3) identify any non-conformance with Applicable Laws or other requirement, Universal shall promptly correct such non-conformance and shall keep Adaptimmune informed of the progress of such correction. Adaptimmune may carry out further inspections to assess the progress of such correction and to verify that any non-conformance has been corrected.

5. Grant of Rights

5.1. Licence Grants to Adaptimmune. Universal hereby grants to Adaptimmune an exclusive, sub-licenseable, worldwide right and licence in the Field, with the right to grant sublicences, under the Universal Patents (excluding the Sublicensed IP) and Universal Know-how to use, sell, supply, manufacture (including to have manufactured), import, research, develop (including to have developed) and distribute (through multiple distribution levels) the Products. For clarity, the foregoing license does not transfer any ownership of the Universal Patents, Universal Materials and Universal Know-how to Adaptimmune.

5.2. Diligence Obligations. Other than as provided under the Research Plan or explicitly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Adaptimmune shall be solely responsible for the Exploitation of the Products in its sole discretion. Adaptimmune shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to further develop and to seek Regulatory Approval and to commercialise at least one Product. Save as explicitly provided in this Section, Universal acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Section 5.2 is intended, or shall be construed, to require Adaptimmune to Exploit a specific Product providing that if Adaptimmune decides to discontinue the development of one Product in favour of another Product its obligations under Section 5.2 shall cease with respect to such discontinued Product in favour of such other Product. Save as provided in Section 5.2, Adaptimmune shall have no other obligation, express or implied, to Exploit the Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Adaptimmune (a) makes any decision to cease working on the development or Exploitation of any Product; or (b) has no good faith intent to further develop or Exploit any Product and ceases actively working on the development or Exploitation of any Product for a period of *** (***) consecutive ***, then upon written notice Universal shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.

5.3. Limitation on Adaptimmune diligence obligations. Universal acknowledges that Adaptimmune is in the business of developing, manufacturing and selling

If any of the Development Milestones require a decision by the JSC or Adaptimmune, the JSC or Adaptimmune (as applicable) shall provide their decision within either (a) where any delivery criteria agreed for any deliverable require characterisation of such deliverable by Adaptimmune or performance of testing on any such deliverable, as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within ninety (90) days following applicable event first coming up for consideration; or (b) where no characterisation or testing is required, thirty (30) days after the applicable event first comes up for consideration. If the JSC or Adaptimmune (as applicable) does not decide to move to the next Phase or does not provide its approval or acceptance, then upon Universal providing thirty (30) days written notice and unless there is mutual agreement by the Parties otherwise this Agreement shall terminate. For the purposes of interpreting the Development Milestones above: “***

6.3. Modifications to Development Milestones. The Parties accept that the above milestones are based on the Research Program as outlined in Schedule 1 and reflect reimbursement of the anticipated development expenses undertaken by Universal. Where the scope of such Research Program materially changes or requires Universal to take on a materially higher resource or financial burden, the Parties shall negotiate adjustment to the above Development Milestones in good faith to reflect such increased scope, resource or financial burden.

*** Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment and filed separately with the Commission.

6.4. Adjustments to Development Milestones. Where any Research Activities are specified to be performed by Universal in the Research Plan and Universal is unable to perform such Research Activities or alternatively is delayed in the start of performance of such Research Activities and in accordance with Section 2.3 Adaptimmune takes over the performance of such Research Activities or appoints a Third Party to carry out such Research Activities, the Development Milestone will be reduced on a pro-rated basis to reflect the reduction in work activities being conducted by Universal. Where a Third Party is used by Adaptimmune to perform such Research Activities the reduction shall additionally cover the costs of such Third Party performing the Research Activities where greater than the pro-rated reduction in level of Development Milestone. Where no activities are performed by Universal under a Development Milestone as a result of an inability to perform by Universal, no Development Milestone shall become due and owing on achievement of such milestone by Adaptimmune.

6.5. Product Milestones. Adaptimmune shall pay the following product milestone payments on the first Product to achieve each of the following milestones (“Product Milestones”):

(1) *** .		US$***

(2) *** :		US$***

(3) *** :		US$***

In this Section: (a) a “Pre-Existing Adaptimmune Product” shall mean a Product which comprises a sequence for a TCR and in relation to which Adaptimmune has previously received Regulatory Approval for a product comprising the same TCR sequence or a non-material variant of such TCR sequence; (b) a “New Adaptimmune Product” shall mean a Product comprising a sequence for a TCR and in relation to which Adaptimmune has not previously received Regulatory Approval or filed an IND (or foreign equivalent) for a product comprising the same TCR sequence or a non-material variant of such TCR sequence.

6.6. Notice. Adaptimmune shall give Universal written notice within twenty (20) Business Days of the first achievement of each milestone event set forth in Sections 6.2 (to the extent Universal is not already aware of achievement) and 6.5 above. After receiving such written notice, Universal shall submit an invoice to Adaptimmune for the amount

*** Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment and filed separately with the Commission.

of such milestone payment, and Adaptimmune will pay Universal the applicable milestone payment within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Universal.

6.7. One-Time Payments. Each individual milestone payment (whether a Development Milestone or Product Milestone) is payable one time only regardless of the number of Products developed and/or commercialized and regardless of the number of times any of the applicable events occurs with respect to any Product. Where any milestone event is not achieved the relevant Product Milestone or Development Milestone shall not be due and owing.

6.8. No Additional Milestones. In addition and for the avoidance of doubt, Adaptimmune will not be obligated to make any other payments in respect of the above milestone events to Universal and/or Third Parties.

6.9. Profit Share. Following expiry of the first *** (***) *** period after First Commercial Sale of the First Multi-Indication Product by Adaptimmune its Affiliate or sublicensee, Adaptimmune will calculate the profit share due to Universal in relation to the commercialisation of such First Multi-Indication Product. The profit share for such *** (***) *** period, and each consecutive *** (***) *** period (each a “Profit Share ***”) until expiration of the last Valid Claim, shall be calculated as follows:

***

The New Mean Average Cost of Supply shall be the *** over the *** of sale for the *** sold by Adaptimmune or its Affiliate or sublicensee, the first month starting on date of First Commercial Sale of such Product.

The Old Mean Average Cost of Supply shall be the *** for the product sold by Adaptimmune or its Affiliate or sublicensee *** as used in the *** as calculated using the *** immediately preceding date of First Commercial Sale of the First Multi-Indication Product. ***

The Profit share due and payable shall be calculated in US dollars. Where any calculation of Mean Average Cost of Supply requires conversion from a currency other than US dollars, Adaptimmune shall carry out such conversion using Adaptimmune’s customary and standard internal exchange rates. Where the Old Mean Average Cost of

*** Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment and filed separately with the Commission.

Supply is lower than the New Mean Average Cost of Supply, no profit share shall be payable.

If the Profit Share Amount is negative, then the First Multi-Indication Product shall be subject to the royalty under Section 6.12 and no further Profit Share shall be payable or owing from Adaptimmune.

6.10. Valid Patent limitation. The profit share payable in accordance with Section 6.9 above shall only be payable on Products which are Covered by a Valid Claim. Once the last Valid Claim to Cover the First Multi-Indication Product expires, any obligation to pay the profit share in relation to such Product shall cease. Except as set forth in the last paragraph of Section 6.9, for clarity no royalty shall be payable on the sale of a First Multi-Indication Product.

6.11. Profit Share report. Adaptimmune will deliver to Universal a report detailing the profit share due to Universal and calculated in accordance with Section 6.9 within sixty (60) calendar days of the expiry of each Profit Share *** .

In addition to the profit share payable under Section 6.9, on a country by country and Product by Product basis and for all Products other than the First Multi-Indication Product (unless subject to a royalty pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 6.9), Adaptimmune shall pay to Universal a royalty of *** % of Net Sales. Adaptimmune’s obligation to pay royalty with respect to any Product shall commence upon the First Commercial Sale of a Product in a country and shall expire on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the last Valid Claim to Cover such Product; and (ii) the date that is *** (***) years from the First Commercial Sale of such Product in a country (“Royalty Term”). On expiration of the Royalty Term in relation to any Product, no further royalties shall be due or payable in relation to the sale of such Product.

6.13. Currency Conversion for Net Sales. With respect to sales of Product in US dollars, the Net Sales shall be expressed in US dollars. With respect to sales of Products in a currency other than US dollars, the Net Sales shall be reported in US dollars and converted using Adaptimmune’s customary and standard internal exchange rates. The basis of any conversion shall be specified in the relevant Royalty Report.

6.14. Royalty Reports. Following First Commercial Sale of a Product other than the First Multi-Indication Product, Adaptimmune shall provide a report to Universal within sixty (60) days of each calendar quarter (“Royalty Report”), the first such report being due within sixty (60) days after expiry of the calendar quarter in which the First Commercial Sale of a Product (excluding the First Multi-Indication Product unless subject to a royalty pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 6.9) is made. The Royalty Report shall include (a) the total Net Sales for each Product worldwide; and (b) calculation of the royalty due to Universal under Section 6.12 above.

Adaptimmune shall deduct or withhold from the Payments any taxes that it is required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold and shall reasonably assist Universal in obtaining any such deductions.

6.18.2 Indirect Taxes. All amounts payable by Adaptimmune under this Agreement are stated exclusive of any Indirect Taxes, which Universal may be obliged to charge. If any Indirect Taxes are chargeable in respect of any Payments, Adaptimmune shall pay such Indirect Taxes at the applicable rate in respect of such Payments following receipt, where applicable, of an Indirect Taxes invoice in the appropriate form issued by Universal in respect of those Payments. The Parties shall issue invoices for all amounts payable under this Agreement consistent with Indirect Tax requirements and irrespective of whether the sums may be netted for settlement purposes. If such amounts of Indirect Taxes are refunded by the applicable Governmental Authority or other fiscal authority to Universal subsequent to payment, the Party receiving such refund will transfer such amount to the paying Party within sixty (60) days of receipt.

Adaptimmune shall make its records available as set forth in this Section. The accounting firm shall enter into appropriate obligations with Adaptimmune to treat all information it receives during its inspection in confidence. Such audit right shall apply no more than once in any calendar year and shall only relate to the previous three (3) calendar year’s records (to the extent not previously audited by Universal). The independent third party shall only be entitled to report to Universal as to whether or not the Net Sales of any Product or the calculation of Profit Share are materially accurate. Where any inspection identifies any shortfall in the Payments required to Universal, Adaptimmune shall make up such shortfall within 30 days of receiving notice of such shortfall. Where any inspection identifies an overpayment in the Payments required to Universal, Adaptimmune shall be entitled to deduct the amount of such overpayment from the next Payment or Payments made to Universal. Universal shall pay the cost of any inspection unless such inspection identifies a shortfall in payments in the preceding calendar year in excess of five (5) percent in which case Adaptimmune shall pay the reasonable costs of the Third Party carrying out such inspection.

6.22. Investment. In addition to the above Payments, Universal shall provide Adaptimmune with the right to participate in the next two (2) Qualified Equity Investment Events that occur after the date hereof, on the following terms:

Universal shall provide reasonable support in relation to Adaptimmune’s prosecution and maintenance of any patent applications or Patents Covering the Arising IP solely or jointly owned by Adaptimmune, subject to reimbursement of out of pocket expenses that Universal necessarily incurs in providing such support. Adaptimmune shall provide Universal with updates (at the JSC or on the occurrence of any material event in relation to any Patent) in relation to the progress of any patent application or Patent claiming any such Arising IP.

8.4. Election not to Prosecute. If, Adaptimmune or Universal (each a “Prosecuting Party”) elects not to pursue or continue the filing, prosecution (including any interferences, reissue proceedings and re-examinations) or maintenance of any Patent Covering any Arising IP solely or jointly owned by Adaptimmune or Universal respectively in any Major Territory, the relevant Prosecuting Party shall so notify the other Party promptly in writing in sufficient time (usually 45 days but may be a shorter period depending on the notice given to Prosecuting Party by the relevant patent office) in advance to enable other Party to meet any deadlines by which an action must be taken to establish or preserve any such rights in such notified Patent. Upon receipt of any such notice from Prosecuting Party and to the extent possible under any Third Party agreement existing as at the Effective Date, the non-Prosecuting Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pursue the filing or registration, or support the continued prosecution (but excluding any interferences, reissue proceedings and re-examinations) or maintenance, of such notified Patent, at its expense in such country. The non-Prosecuting Party will keep the Prosecuting Party reasonably informed with regard to the current status of any Patent for which non-Prosecuting Party takes over responsibility for under this Section

8.4, including providing copies of any material correspondence with relevant patent offices.

8.5. CREATE Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8 no Party shall have the right to make an election under the Cooperative Research and Technology Enhancement Act of 2004, 35 U.S.C. 103(c)(2)-(c)(3) (the “CREATE Act”) when exercising its rights under this Section 8 without the prior written consent of the other Party. With respect to any such permitted election, the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate and coordinate their activities with respect to any submissions, filings or other activities in support thereof. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is a “joint research agreement” as defined in the CREATE Act.

9. Enforcement of Patents

9.1. Rights and Procedures. In the event that a Party is notified that a Third Party may be infringing any of the Arising IP, Universal Patents or Universal Know-How, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing, identifying the alleged infringer (to the extent not in breach of any Third Party obligation of confidence) and the alleged infringement complained of and furnishing the information of which it has been notified.

(a) In relation to any infringement or alleged infringement of any Universal IP and subject to Section 9.3, and where any alleged infringement occurs within the Field or relates to a Third Party which is in the process of development and/or Exploiting products or therapies within the Field, Adaptimmune may, in its sole discretion and in its own name but after notifying Universal, through counsel of its choosing, take any measures it deems appropriate to stop such infringing activities by such Third Party in any part of the Territory. Where Adaptimmune wishes to grant any Third Party a license under the Universal IP in the context of any infringement or alleged infringement of any Universal IP, Adaptimmune and Universal will use good faith efforts to agree the terms of such Third Party license, in each case to the extent permitted by any Third Party agreement. Any such license will require the prior written consent of Universal. Should Adaptimmune determine that it does not wish to enforce or to take any steps to enforce any Universal IP against a Third Party under this Clause 9.1(b) in any Major Territory, it shall notify Universal in writing ninety (90) days after first notice of the infringement. Universal shall then have the option to in its sole discretion and in its own name, through counsel of its choosing, take any measures it deems appropriate to stop such infringing activities in the relevant Major Territory by such Third Party, save that it shall have no right to grant any licenses under the Universal IP within the Field without Adaptimmune’s prior written consent.

(b) Save as provided in Clauses 9.1(a) and (b) above and subject to Section 9.3 below, in relation to any other infringement or alleged infringement of the Universal IP, Universal may, in its sole discretion and in its own name, through counsel of its choosing, take any measures it deems appropriate to stop such infringing activities by such Third Party in any part of the Territory or to grant to the infringing Third Party adequate rights and licenses necessary for continuing such activities. Any licences granted to any Third Party shall not restrict or conflict with the licences and rights granted to Adaptimmune under this Agreement.

(c) Upon reasonable request by the enforcing Party and at the enforcing Party’s cost and expense, the other Party shall provide all reasonable information and assistance, including allowing access to files and documents and to personnel who may have possession of relevant information and, if necessary for prosecution of any legal action, joining in the legal action.

9.2. Recovery. Any amounts recovered by an enforcing Party pursuant to Sections 9.1(a) or (b) (expressly excluding subclause (c)), whether by settlement or judgment, shall be shared as follows: the enforcing Party shall first reimburse its costs and expenses for the infringement action and retain *** percent (***%) of the remainder and provide the non-enforcing Party with the remaining *** percent (***%) of the remainder.

9.3. Enforcement of Sublicensed IP. Any enforcement of any Sublicensed IP shall be subject to the terms of the Sublicenses.

10. Potential Third Party Actions

10.1. Third Party Licenses. If, in the opinion of Adaptimmune, the Exploitation of the Products by Adaptimmune, its Affiliates or any of their licensees infringes or misappropriates any Patent or any Intellectual Property Right of a Third Party in any country, then, Adaptimmune shall have the right, but not the obligation to negotiate and obtain a license from such Third Party as necessary for Adaptimmune and its Affiliates and licensees to Exploit the Products in such country. Adaptimmune will be responsible for the performance of any license agreement it executes with such Third Party. Adaptimmune understands and accepts that it shall be responsible for negotiation of any agreements with Third Parties required for the commercial use of any Third Party cell lines or cell banks required for commercial manufacture and sale of Product (excluding any use for research and development or clinical trials).

10.2. Invalidity or Unenforceability Defences or Actions.

10.2.1 In the event that a Third Party asserts, as a defence or as a counterclaim in any infringement action, that any Universal Patent (excluding any Arising IP) or any Arising IP solely owned by Universal is invalid or unenforceable, then Universal shall have the right, but not the obligation, through counsel of its choosing to respond to such defence or defend against such counterclaim (as applicable), including the right to settle or otherwise compromise such claim.

*** Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment and filed separately with the Commission.

10.2.2 Similarly, if a Third Party asserts, in a declaratory judgment action or similar action or claim filed by such Third Party, that any Patent within the Arising IP solely or jointly owned by Adaptimmune is invalid or unenforceable, then Adaptimmune shall have the right, but not the obligation, through counsel of its choosing to defend against such action or claim.

10.3. Third Party Litigation. In the event of any actual or threatened suit against Adaptimmune or Universal alleging that the Exploitation of Products by or on behalf of Adaptimmune under this Agreement infringes the Patent or Intellectual Property Rights of any Person (an “Infringement Suit”), the Party first becoming aware of such Infringement Suit shall promptly give written notice to the other Party. In relation to any Products, Adaptimmune shall have the right, but not the obligation, through counsel of its choosing, to assume direction and control of the defence of claims arising therefrom (including the right to settle such claims in its sole discretion).

10.4. Cooperation. Each Party will provide to the other Party all reasonable assistance requested by such Party in connection with any action, claim or suit under Section 10.2 or 10.3, including allowing such Party access to the other Party ‘s files and documents and to the other Party ‘s personnel who may have possession of relevant information. The requesting Party shall pay the other Party’s reasonable out of pocket expenses in relation thereto. In particular the other Party will promptly make available to the requesting Party, all information in its possession or control that it is aware will assist such Party in responding to any such action, claim or suit under Section 10.2 or 10.3.

invention that is subject to the rights of the federal government of the United States of America shall be substantially manufactured in the United States of America. Due to the nature of the product concerned, Universal understand that this may not always be commercially feasible and hence Universal agrees to work with Adaptimmune and to approach the University on a timely basis during the performance of the Research Plan (as defined in the Research and Collaboration Agreement) to obtain waiver from the University in relation to such manufacture and as permitted in accordance with 00 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code Section 204.

5.2. Use of University’s Name and Trademarks or the Names of University Faculty, Staff, or Students. No provision of this Agreement grants Adaptimmune or any of its Sublicensees any right or license to use the name or trademarks of University or the names or identities of any member of the faculty, staff, or student body of University. Adaptimmune shall not use, and shall not permit a Sublicensee to use, any such trademarks, names, or identities without University’s and, as the case may be, such member’s prior written approval.

5.3. Records Retention and Audit Rights.

5.3.1. Records Retained. Throughout the term of this Agreement and for 5 years thereafter, Adaptimmune, at its expense, shall keep and maintain and shall cause each Sublicensee to keep and maintain complete and accurate records of all sales, leases, and other dispositions of Licensed Products during the term of this Agreement and all other records related to this Agreement.

5.3.2. Auditing Rights. Adaptimmune shall permit, at the request of University, one or more accountants selected exclusively by the University (“Accountants”) to have access to Adaptimmune’s records and books of account pertaining to this Agreement, but not more than once per calendar year. Accountants’ access will be during ordinary working hours to audit Adaptimmune’s records for any payment period ending prior to such request, the correctness of any report or payment made by Universal under this Agreement, or to obtain information as to the payments due for any period in the case of failure of Adaptimmune to report pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Any such inspection shall be subject to Accountants signing confidentiality agreements with Adaptimmune to ensure the confidentiality of Adaptimmune’s information. Access under this clause shall only be provided to records relating to sales of Licensed Products and not to any other products or services. The cost of any audit under this clause shall be at the cost of the University.

5.3.3. Scope of Disclosure. Accountants shall not disclose to University any information relating to the business of Adaptimmune except that which is necessary to inform University of: the accuracy or inaccuracy of Adaptimmune’s reports provided to Universal under this Agreement (and which Universal subsequently provides to University under the AAV/HLA-engineering licence); and the extent of any inaccuracy or noncompliance.

6. Infringement.

6.1. Third-Party Infringement of a Licensed Patent.

6.1.1. Notice of Third Party’s Infringement. If a Party learns of substantial, credible evidence that a Third Party is infringing a Licensed Patent in the Field of Use in the Territory, that Party will promptly deliver written notice of the possible infringement to the other Party, describing in detail all relevant information to which that Party has access or control suggesting infringement of the Licensed Patent. Adaptimmune understands that under the terms of the AAV/HLA-engineering licence, Universal is not able to grant a right to Adaptimmune to enforce the Licensed Patents. Universal will work with Adaptimmune in relation to the exercise of Universal’s rights to enforce and prosecute an infringement or potential infringement action under the AAV/HLA-engineering licence and to the extent permitted by the University, will permit Adaptimmune to be present at any court hearings, material meeting or other actions taken in relation to enforcement of the Licensed Patents to the extent in each case relevant to the Fields of Use or scope of Research and Collaboration Agreement. To the extent Universal proposes to settle any action for infringement or potential infringement, Universal will discuss and obtain Adaptimmune’s approval to such settlement, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. To the extent the University has control of any infringement suit or action under the AAV/HLA-engineering licence, Universal will to the extent permitted by University keep Adaptimmune informed of the progress of such infringement suit or action and permit Adaptimmune to be actively involved in such infringement suit or action including the terms of any sublicense proposed to be granted by the University. Any involvement of Adaptimmune shall be at Adaptimmune’s cost and expense save where University requests any assistance from Adaptimmune, in which case University shall pay for any direct associated expenses related to provision of such assistance.

7. Patent Validity.

7.1. Notice and Investigation of Third Party Challenges. If any Third Party challenges the validity or enforceability of any of the Licensed Patents, the Party having such information shall immediately notify the other Party. Universal shall keep Adaptimmune informed of the status of any defense of any claim challenging validity or enforceability, where the University assumes control and defense of the claim in accordance with the terms of the AAV/HLA-engineering licence. Where Universal assumes the defense of any such claim, Universal will cooperate with Adaptimmune and enable Adaptimmune to be actively involved in the defense of such claim and any decisions taken in relation to such claim at Adaptimmune’s cost and expense.

7.2. Enforceability of Licensed Patents. Notwithstanding challenge by any Third Party, any Licensed Patent will be enforceable under this Agreement until such Licensed Patent is determined to be invalid.

8. Termination.

8.1. By Universal.

8.1.1. Breach by Adaptimmune. If Adaptimmune breaches or fails to perform one or more of its material duties under this Agreement, Universal may deliver to Adaptimmune a written notice of default. Universal may terminate this Agreement by delivering to

Adaptimmune a written notice of termination if the default has not cured in full within 60 days of the delivery to Adaptimmune of the notice of default.

8.1.2. Events of Default. Universal may terminate this Agreement by delivering to Adaptimmune a written notice of termination at least 10 days prior to the date of termination if Adaptimmune (i) becomes insolvent; (ii) voluntarily files or has filed against it a petition under applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws that Adaptimmune fails to have released within 30 days after filing; (iii) proposes any dissolution, composition, or financial reorganization with creditors or if a receiver, trustee, custodian, or similar agent is appointed; (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (v) if Adaptimmune challenges the validity of the Licensed Patents.

8.2. By Adaptimmune. Adaptimmune may terminate this Agreement at any time by delivering to University a written notice of termination at least 60 days prior to the effective date of termination.

8.3. Automatic termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate on termination of the Research and Collaboration Agreement.

8.4. Effect of Termination.

8.4.1. License Terminated. After termination of this Agreement, Adaptimmune shall destroy Licensed Materials, and Adaptimmune shall not make, have made, use, offer to sell or sell, offer to lease or lease, import, or otherwise offer to dispose or dispose of Licensed Products.

8.5. Right to continue licence on termination of AAV/HLA-engineering licence. Universal shall notify Adaptimmune immediately if it receives any notice of termination of the AAV/HLA-engineering licence and of any actual termination of the AAV/HLA-engineering licence. At any time within 30 days following termination of the AAV/HLA-engineering licence, Adaptimmune may notify University and Universal that it wishes to enter into a direct license with University in order to retain its rights to the Licensed Patents and/or Licensed Materials granted to it under its Sublicense (such 30-day period following termination, the “Initial Notice Period”). Following receipt of such notice, Universal shall procure (to the extent necessary under the AAV/HLA-engineering licence) that University and Adaptimmune shall enter into a license agreement the terms of which shall be substantially similar to the terms of the AAV/HLA-engineering licence; and the scope of such direct license, the licensed territory or the duration of the license grant shall be comparable to the corresponding terms granted under this Agreement; provided that Adaptimmune will be granted at least the same scope of rights as it obtained from Adaptimmune under this Agreement. For the sake of clarity, the financial terms, including without limitation, the running royalty rate and milestone payments, shall be identical to the corresponding financial terms set forth in the AAV/HLA-engineering licence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Adaptimmune understands that its right to enter into such direct license shall be conditioned upon:

8.5.1. Written Notification to University. Adaptimmune informing University in writing, pursuant to Article 21 “Notices” of the AAV/HLA-engineering licence, that it wishes to enter into such direct license with University, within the Initial Notice Period;

8.5.2. Good Standing. Adaptimmune being in good standing with Universal under this Agreement, and this Agreement not being the subject of a dispute between Universal and Adaptimmune, or between Universal and University under the AAV/HLA-engineering licence;

8.5.3. Valid Sublicense. This Agreement having been validly entered into by Adaptimmune and Sublicensee pursuant to the terms of Section 3.1.5 “Sublicenses” of the AAV/HLA-engineering licence;

8.5.4. Sublicensee Certification that Conditions Satisfied. Adaptimmune using reasonable efforts to certify or otherwise demonstrate that the conditions set forth in this Section 8.5 have been met within 30 days of expiration of the Initial Notice Period (or within such longer period of time as University agrees is reasonable under the circumstances, based on the nature and extent of any documentation reasonably requested by University); and

8.5.5. Time Limitations. Such negotiations for a direct license not exceeding 90 days from the end of the 30-day (or longer, if applicable) period described in subsection 8.5.4 “Sublicensee Certification that Conditions Satisfied” (subject to extension of said 90-day period by mutual written agreement of University and Sublicensee).

University may, at its sole discretion, waive any of the above requirements. Adaptimmune understands and Universal confirms that if all of the conditions set forth in this Section 8.5 are met, then Adaptimmune will be granted such direct license by University. If any condition set forth in this Section 8.5 is not met, then after expiration of any time period granted to Adaptimmune with respect to meeting such condition , Adaptimmune shall not make, have made, use, offer to sell or sell, offer to lease or lease, import, or otherwise offer to dispose or dispose of Licensed Products and University shall be free to license or not license Licensed Patents to Adaptimmune according to its sole discretion.

Such license shall not be subject to Company’s approval. If University, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, chooses to institute suit against an alleged infringer, University may bring such suit in its own name (or, if required by law, in its and Company’s name) and at its own expense, and Company shall, but at University’s expense for Company’s direct associated expenses, fully and promptly cooperate and assist University in connection with any such suit.

Such negotiations for a direct license not exceeding 90 days from the end of the 30-day (or longer, if applicable) period described in subsection 9.3.3.4 “Sublicensee Certification that Conditions Satisfied” (subject to extension of said 90-day period by mutual written agreement of University and Sublicensee).

University may, at its sole discretion, waive any of these requirements. If all of the conditions set forth in this Section 9.3.3 “Termination of Sublicenses” are met, then Sublicensee will be granted such direct license by University. If any condition set forth in this Section 9.3.3 “Termination of Sublicenses” is not met, then after expiration of any time period granted to Sublicensee with respect to meeting such condition (for example and to the extent applicable, the Initial Notice Period and/or the periods described in Subsections 9.3.3.4 “Sublicensee Certification that Conditions Satisfied” and 9.3.3.5 “Time Limitations”), Sublicensee shall not make, have made, use, offer to sell or sell, offer to lease or lease, import, or otherwise offer to dispose or dispose of Licensed Products and University shall be free to license or not license Licensed Patents to such Sublicensee according to its sole discretion.

Exhibit C

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT, dated the date indicated below on the signature page hereof, by and between the Company and the University. If and when accepted by the Company, this Subscription Agreement, when executed below, shall constitute a subscription for that number of shares of the Securities indicated on the attached Appendix A. All capitalized terms are defined on Appendix A.

INTENDING TO BE LEGALLY BOUND, and in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, Company and University hereby agree as follows:

1. Representations and Warranties of the University. The University hereby represents and warrants to the Company as of the date of this Agreement as follows:

1.1 The University: (a) is an Accredited Investor as that term is defined in 17 CFR § 230.501(a); (b) has been furnished with all information deemed necessary by the University to evaluate the merits and risks of the Securities; (c) has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the Company and the Securities; and (d) has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of any information obtained concerning the Company.

1.2 Ability to Bear Risk. The University is in a financial position to hold the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk and withstand a complete loss of the investment in the Securities.

1.3 Risk Factors. The University recognizes that the Securities as an investment involve an extremely high degree of risk. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet its projected goals and the Company may need significant additional capital to be successful, which capital may not be readily available or available upon terms that are not substantially dilutive to the University. If provided, the University has reviewed the risk factors description provided by the Company.

1.4. Sophistication. The University is a sophisticated investor, is able to fend for itself in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities.

1.5. Suitability. The investment in the Securities is suitable for the University based upon its investment objectives and financial needs, and the University has adequate net worth and means for providing for its current financial needs and contingencies and has no need for liquidity of investment with respect to the Securities.

1.6. Overall Commitment to Illiquid Investments. The University’s overall commitment to investments which are illiquid or not readily marketable is not disproportionate to its net worth, and investment in the Securities will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

1.7. Restricted Securities. The University realizes that (i) none of the Securities have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), (ii) the Securities are characterized under the Act as “restricted securities” and, therefore, cannot be sold or transferred unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available and (iii) there is presently no public market for the Securities and the University may not be able to liquidate his investment in the event of an emergency or pledge the Securities as collateral security for loans. In this connection, the University represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Act, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.

1.8. Exemption Reliance. The University has been advised that the Securities are not being registered under the Act or the applicable state securities laws but are being offered and sold pursuant to exemptions from such laws. The University understands that the Company’s reliance on such exemptions is predicated in part upon the truth and accuracy of the University’s representations in this Agreement. The University represents and warrants that the Securities are being purchased for its own account, for investment and without the intention of reselling, redistributing or transferring the same, that it has made no agreement with others regarding any of such Securities and that its financial condition is such that it is not likely that it will be necessary to dispose of any of such Securities in the foreseeable future.

2. Covenants. The University agrees that:

2.1. Transfer Restriction. The Securities for which the University hereby subscribes shall be assigned or transferred only in accordance with all applicable laws.

2.2. Disposition of Securities. The University shall in no event make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities which it is purchasing unless and until:

a. There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said registration statement; or

b. (i) It shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of its own counsel to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Act, and (ii) such opinion of its counsel shall have been concurred in by counsel for the Company, such concurrence not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the Company shall have advised the University of such concurrence; or

c. The transfer shall comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 144 as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or is otherwise exempt from the registration requirements of such act.

2.3. No Revocation. The University may not cancel, terminate or revoke this subscription, and this subscription shall be binding upon its successors and assigns.

2.4 Execution of Related Documents. The University agrees to execute other customary, investment-related agreements as proposed by Company and executed by other investors in Company that contain solely one or more of the following provisions:

· General prohibition on transfer of the Securities

· Right of first refusal on proposed transfer

· Right of co-sale on proposed transfer

· “Tag along, drag along” rights (both must be included)

· Market “standoff” agreements up to 180 days following an initial public offering

provided, however, that such agreements do not discriminate against the University and do not contain any of the following provisions:

· Rights to repurchase Securities owned by the University

· Vesting requirements applicable to Securities owned by the University

· Indemnification obligations by the University

· Requirement to vote Securities owned by the University

· Penalties on the University, or limitations on the University’s rights, as a result of the University’s failure to make follow-on investments

· Any provision that would apply solely to the University (and not to all other persons who hold the same type and class of Securities as the University)

· Confidentiality restrictions or limitations that purport to prevent the University from complying with applicable open records requirements.

3. Intentionally Left Blank

4. Issuance of Stock Certificate. Company agrees to issue and deliver to the University at the Treasury Office address provided in Appendix A a duly-executed stock certificate promptly (and in any case within 30 days) following the execution of this Agreement.

5. Governing Law; Successors. The University agrees that this Subscription Agreement shall be enforced, governed and construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, that the rights, powers and duties set forth herein shall be binding upon the University, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns.

THE INVESTOR HAS BEEN ADVISED, PRIOR TO ITS PURCHASE OF THE SECURITIES, THAT NEITHER THE OFFERING OF THE SECURITIES NOR ANY OFFERING MATERIALS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED BY ANY ADMINISTRATOR UNDER THE ACT OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES ACT (THE “ACTS”) AND THAT NONE OF THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER ANY OF THE ACTS AND THEREFORE CANNOT BE RESOLD UNLESS THEY ARE REGISTERED UNDER THE ACTS OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.
