Prior to the execution of the Pharmacovigilance Agreement, each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of any information observed in connection with the Licensed Products necessary to enable such Party to comply with its safety reporting obligations to Regulatory Authorities or Governmental Authorities in its respective territory. SELLAS shall maintain the global safety database for the Licensed Products, which shall include adverse events and other information relating to the safety of the Licensed Products.

4.12 Territory Filings and Approvals. With respect to any applicable filings and Approvals required from any Governmental Authority in the Territory in order to Develop, Manufacture and/or Commercialize Licensed Products in the Territory (“Territory Filings and Approvals”), the Parties agree that 3DMed shall be solely responsible for making, obtaining and maintaining all such Territory Filings and Approvals, at its sole cost and expense.

4.13 Notice of Actions.

4.14 Pivotal REGAL Study. 3DMed acknowledges and agrees that SELLAS shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to lead, control and be responsible for the execution of (a) the ongoing pivotal global clinical study entitled “REGAL” for use of the GPS Product to treat acute myeloid leukemia, and (b) other Clinical Trials in connection with the Development and Commercialization of the Licensed Products outside the Territory. Upon the request of either Party, the Parties shall discuss in good faith the inclusion of patients in the Territory in the REGAL clinical study, provided that 3DMed agrees to be responsible for its proportionate share of the costs of such participation and SELLAS shall retain sole discretion as to whether such patients shall be included in the REGAL clinical study.

The portion of Net Sales of Licensed Products in the Territory in a given Calendar Year above $[***]	[***]%

The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Licensed Know-How is proprietary, substantial, of significant value and required for 3DMed to Manufacture and Commercialize the Licensed Products in the Territory. Consequently, the Parties have determined to adopt the royalty rates set forth above even in the case when a Licensed Product in a Relevant Region is not covered by a Valid Claim of a Licensed Patent.

(b) Royalty Term. 3DMed’s obligation to pay royalties with respect to a Licensed Product in a Relevant Region in the Territory shall commence upon the First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product in such Relevant Region and shall expire on the latest of (i) the date that is fifteen (15) years from approval of an MAA for such Licensed Product in such Relevant Region, and (ii) the date that is ten (10) years from the expiration of the last Valid Claim of a Licensed Patent covering or claiming such Licensed Product in such Relevant Region (the “Royalty Term”).

(c) Royalty Reduction. In the event that (i) Generic Competition exists in a Relevant Region in the Territory with respect to a Licensed Product, or (ii) [***], the royalty rate for Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such Relevant Region above $[***] in a Calendar Year will thereafter be reduced to [***].

(d) Reports; Royalty Payments. Until the expiration of all royalty payment obligations under this Section 5.3, 3DMed, within [***] of the end of each Calendar Quarter during which there was Net Sales of a Licensed Product in the Territory, shall deliver to SELLAS true and accurate reports, giving such particulars of the business conducted by 3DMed and its Sublicensees during the preceding period. The reports shall include at least the following information, to be itemized per Licensed Product by Relevant Region of sales origin: (i) product number; (ii) units sold; (iii) unit price; (iv) extended sales dollars; (v) royalty rate; (vi) extended royalty dollars due; (vii) the portion of Net Sales that was received from Sublicensees; (viii) country of sale; (ix) foreign currency conversion rate; and (x) any reduction to royalties taken in accordance with Section 5.3(c) above and documentation supporting 3DMed’s right to take such reduction. With each such report submitted, 3DMed shall pay to SELLAS the royalties due and payable under this Agreement. If no royalties shall be due, 3DMed shall so report.

5.4 Method of Payments; Late Payments. All payments due to SELLAS under this Agreement shall be paid in Dollars by wire transfer to a bank account designated in writing by SELLAS. Except as otherwise specified, all payments due to SELLAS under this Agreement shall be paid within [***] after receipt of an invoice for such payments. Late payments shall accrue interest at the rate per annum equal to the sum of [***], or, if lower, the highest rate permitted under Applicable Laws. For clarity, all payments made to SELLAS pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2 shall be made by 3DMed without any deductions, offsets or withholdings whatsoever. Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Agreement, 3DMed may not assign such payment obligations to any Affiliate established pursuant to Applicable PRC Laws without the prior written consent of SELLAS. 3DMed’s obligation to make payments to SELLAS under this Agreement shall not be contingent upon 3DMed receiving any payment from its Affiliate.

5.5 Books and Records; Audits.

(a) Books and Records. 3DMed shall keep, and shall require its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep, full, true and accurate books of account containing all particulars that may be necessary for the purpose of showing the amounts payable to SELLAS hereunder. Said books and records shall include, but not be limited to: Invoice registers and original invoices, product sales analysis reports, accounting general ledgers, sub-license and distributor agreements, price lists, contracts for the sale of Licensed Products, product catalogs and marketing materials, audited financial statements and/or income tax returns, sales tax returns, inventory and production records and shipping documents. Said books and records shall be maintained for a period of no less than [***] following the period to which they pertain. Such records shall include original data files used to prepare the submitted royalty reports.

(b) Audits. For the Term, and at least annually, SELLAS or its agents (or, upon the request of MSK made in accordance with the MSK License Agreement, MSK or its agents) shall have the right upon reasonable written notice to inspect such books and records for the purpose of verifying 3DMed’s royalty statement or compliance in other respects with this Agreement. In addition, 3DMed shall provide all reasonable cooperation to enable SELLAS to verify royalty statements provided hereunder. Such inspections shall be during normal working hours of 3DMed, and shall not be exercised more than [***] (provided, that should any inspection result in the discovery of a discrepancy or error in a royalty statement, then the foregoing limitation shall not apply for the balance of [***] during which such inspection right was exercised) and not more frequently than once with respect to records covering any specific period of time and shall be performed in a manner that will not unduly interfere with 3DMed’s normal course of business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, SELLAS or its agents shall only be entitled to audit the books and records of 3DMed of the [***] in which the audit request is made. SELLAS or its agents, as the case may be, agrees to hold in strict confidence all information received and all information learned in the course of any audit or inspection and any audit summary or reports, except to the extent necessary to enforce its rights under this Agreement or to the extent required to comply with Applicable Laws. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 5.5(b) shall limit the audit rights granted to MSK pursuant to the MSK License Agreement. Should such inspection result in the discovery of a discrepancy greater than the greater of [***], in reporting to SELLAS’s detriment, for any [***] period, 3DMed shall pay the full cost of such audit plus interest as provided for late payments. If the audit determines an error that is due to a misinterpretation of this Agreement or the MSK License Agreement or if the error results from the application of an incorrect accounting or clerical methodology, SELLAS and or their agents shall be entitled to correct such errors for the period of time that the statute of limitations of the governing jurisdiction allows. Any additional royalties due from the correction of errors from the prior periods will be subject to interest as provided for late payments.

5.6 Taxes.

(a) Withholding. To the extent any payments due to SELLAS under this Agreement (“Payments”) become subject to withholding of income Taxes under Applicable Laws, 3DMed shall deduct and withhold the amount of such Taxes for the account of SELLAS to the extent required by Applicable Laws but shall not be otherwise subject to any other deductions, offsets or withholdings whatsoever other than those directly related to withholding Taxes that SELLAS is required to pay under Applicable Laws up to the Cap; the Payments payable to SELLAS shall be reduced by the amount of withholding income Taxes deducted and withheld; and 3DMed shall pay the amounts of such Taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner and transmit to SELLAS an official tax certificate or other evidence of such Tax obligations together with proof of payment from the relevant Governmental Authority of all amounts deducted and withheld sufficient to enable SELLAS to claim such payment of Taxes. Any such withholding income Taxes required under Applicable Laws to be paid or withheld shall be an expense of, and borne solely by, SELLAS, provided that in no event shall the aggregate withholding income Taxes borne by SELLAS under this Section 5.6(a) exceed [***] of any given royalty payment due and payable by 3DMed to SELLAS under Section 5.3 (the “Cap”). If SELLAS is entitled (whether under any applicable tax treaty or otherwise under Applicable Laws) to a reduction in the rate of, or the elimination of, withholding of income Tax with respect to the Payments, it may deliver to 3DMed or the appropriate Governmental Authority (with the assistance of 3DMed to the extent that this is reasonably required and is expressly requested in writing) the prescribed forms necessary to reduce the applicable rate of withholding or to relieve 3DMed of its obligation to withhold Tax, and 3DMed shall apply the reduced rate of withholding, or dispense with withholding, as the case may be. 3DMed agrees to take reasonable and lawful efforts to minimize such withholding income Taxes that would otherwise be borne by SELLAS. 3DMed shall cooperate with SELLAS as reasonably requested in any claim for refund or application to any Governmental Authority and/or in obtaining any tax credit by SELLAS for the withholding of income Taxes with respect to the Payments. Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Agreement, SELLAS shall assume, and 3DMed shall deduct and withhold the withholding income Taxes under Applicable Laws for all royalty payments, including any such Taxes incurred during 3DMed’s intra-group payments in order for 3DMed to directly make royalty payments to SELLAS, subject to the Cap.

(b) VAT. All Payments, including any royalty payments payable to SELLAS pursuant to Section 5.3 of this Agreement, shall be paid exclusive of, and without reduction for, any value-added tax (including, for greater certainty, any goods and services tax, harmonized sales tax and any similar taxes, including any interest, penalties or other additions to tax thereon) (“VAT”) (which, if applicable, shall be payable by 3DMed). 3DMed shall be responsible for the payment of all VAT applicable to the Payments and shall file all applicable VAT tax returns. SELLAS shall cooperate, to the extent reasonably required, with the filing of any such VAT tax returns. 3DMed shall indemnify SELLAS for any VAT imposed on SELLAS with respect to the Payments and if SELLAS directly pays any VAT, 3DMed shall promptly reimburse SELLAS for such VAT including all reasonable related costs. If SELLAS determines that it is required to report any such tax, 3DMed shall promptly provide SELLAS with applicable receipts and other documentation necessary or appropriate for such report. For clarity, this Section 5.6(b) is not intended to limit 3DMed’s right to deduct VAT in determining Net Sales.

5.7 Currency Conversion. With respect to sales of Licensed Products invoiced in Dollars, the Net Sales and the amounts due hereunder will be expressed in Dollars. If any currency conversion shall be required in connection the payment of royalties hereunder, such conversion shall be made by using the exchange rate prevailing at the XX Xxxxxx Xxxxx Bank on the last Business Day of the Calendar Quarter reporting period to which such royalty payments relate.

5.8 Full Consideration for the License. The Parties agree and acknowledge that the payments made by 3DMed to SELLAS under this Agreement, including Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3, the Back License, and the other covenants made by 3DMed under this Agreement, constitutes the full and complete consideration for the License granted by SELLAS to License under Section 2.1 hereof.

(c) 3DMed Right to Enforce. Subject to Section 6.2(b), 3DMed shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to address Infringement of the Licensed IP (other than the MSK IP) in the Field in the Territory by taking reasonable steps, which may include the institution of legal proceedings or other actions (an “Action”), and to compromise or settle such Action; provided, that (i) 3DMed shall keep SELLAS reasonably informed about such Action and SELLAS shall provide all reasonable cooperation to 3DMed in connection with such Action, (ii) 3DMed shall not take any position with respect to such Action in any way that is reasonably likely to directly and adversely affect the scope, validity or enforceability of the Other Licensed Patents, or compromise or settle any such Action, without the prior written consent of SELLAS, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (iii) if 3DMed does not intend to prosecute or defend an Action, or ceases to diligently pursue such an Action, it shall promptly inform SELLAS in such a manner that such Action will not be prejudiced and Section 6.2(d) shall apply.

(d) SELLAS Right to Enforce. In the event of an Infringement of the Licensed IP (other than the MSK IP), if (i) 3DMed informs SELLAS that it does not intend to prosecute an Action in respect thereof, (ii) within [***] after notice of Infringement 3DMed has not commenced any such Action, or (iii) if 3DMed thereafter ceases to pursue such Action, then SELLAS shall have the right, at its own expense, upon notice to 3DMed to take appropriate action to address such Infringement, including by initiating its own Action or taking over prosecution of any Action initiated by 3DMed. In such event, SELLAS shall keep 3DMed fully informed about such Action and 3DMed shall provide all reasonable cooperation to SELLAS in connection with such Action.

(e) Right to Representation. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, each Party shall have the right to participate and be represented by counsel that it selects, in any Action instituted under Section 6.2(c) or Section 6.2(d) by the other Party.

Upon learning of such Infringement Claim, 3DMed shall take all reasonable and appropriate steps to resolve the Infringement Claim and shall confer with SELLAS, and give reasonable consideration to SELLAS’ suggestions, regarding such Infringement Claim. SELLAS shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to defend against and control any such legal Action.

If SELLAS does not take steps to address the infringement or initiate an infringement Action within [***], or any other period that requires action, after learning of the infringement, then 3DMed shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring such an Action. Neither Party shall have the right to settle any infringement action under this Section 6.4(b) in a manner that diminishes the rights or interests of the other Party or imposes any liability on the other Party without the prior written consent of such other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. SELLAS shall have the right to choose outside counsel. All reasonable and documented expenses of outside counsel incurred in bringing, maintaining, defending, prosecuting, settling, obtaining or enforcing a judgment in any Action governed by this Section 6.4(b) shall be borne by the Party bringing, maintaining, defending, prosecuting, settling, obtaining or enforcing a judgment in such Action (to the extent not reimbursed through recoveries from such litigation).

Article 11

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Internal Resolution. Other than disputes subject to final decision-making authority by a Party pursuant to Section 3.5, in the event of any dispute between the Parties relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the formation, construction, breach or termination hereof, or the rights, duties or liabilities of either Party hereunder, the Parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute by negotiation and consultation between themselves, utilizing the Alliance Managers. In the event that such dispute is not resolved on an informal basis within [***], either Party may, by written notice to the other Party, refer the dispute to the Executive Officers for attempted resolution by good faith negotiation within [***] after such notice is received.

11.2 Binding Arbitration. If the Executive Officers are not able to resolve such disputed matter within [***] and any Party wishes to pursue the matter, each such dispute, controversy or claim that is not an Excluded Claim (defined in Section 11.2(f) below) shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Center (“HKIAC”) pursuant to its then prevailing arbitration rules, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Parties agree that:

(a) The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator appointed by the HKIAC, who shall (i) be a lawyer of not less than fifteen (15) years’ standing who is experienced in the pharmaceutical business in the relevant country, (ii) not be or have been an employee, consultant, officer, director or stockholder of either Party or any Affiliate of either Party, and (iii) not have a conflict of interest under any applicable rules of ethics. The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong, and all proceedings and communications shall be in English, unless otherwise agreed by all Parties involved in such dispute.

(b) Any Party may apply to the arbitrator for interim injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. Any Party also may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any injunctive or provisional relief necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party pending the arbitration award.

(c) The arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive or any other type of damages not measured by a Party’s compensatory damage. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses and attorneys’ fees and an equal share of the arbitrator’s fees and any administrative fees of arbitration unless otherwise determined in the arbitration award.

(d) Except to the extent necessary to confirm an award or as may be required by law, neither a Party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of an arbitration without the prior written consent of all Parties. In no event shall an arbitration be initiated after the date when commencement of a legal or equitable proceeding, based on the dispute, controversy or claim, would have been barred by the applicable statute of limitations.

(e) Each Party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to sovereign immunity in regard to any proceedings to recognise or enforce an arbitral award rendered by the arbitrator pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, immunity from service of process, immunity from jurisdiction of any court, and immunity of any of its property from execution, regardless of the commercial or non-commercial nature of the property in question.

(f) As used in this Section 11.2, the term “Excluded Claim” shall mean a dispute, controversy or claim that concerns the scope, validity, enforceability, inventorship or infringement of a patent, patent application, trademark or copyright. Any Excluded Claim shall be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction.

(g) The governing law of this Section 11.2 is the laws of Hong Kong.

11.3 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, enforced, and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, U.S., without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.

11.4 Assignment.

Any purported assignment in violation of this Section ‎ 11.4 shall be null and void.

11.5 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable for delay or failure in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder if such delay or failure is due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, fires, earthquakes, previously unknown pandemics or epidemics, strikes and labor disputes, acts of war, terrorism, civil unrest or intervention of any governmental authority (“Force Majeure”); provided, that the affected Party promptly notifies the other Party; provided, further, that the affected Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of non-performance and to mitigate the effect of such occurrence, and shall continue performance with the utmost dispatch whenever such causes are removed.
