The Second Serotype Licence (i) may only be revoked or terminated pursuant to a right of termination under Clause 9.10 in respect of the Second Serotype Licence or Clause 21; and (ii) may be assigned but only as part of the assignment of this Agreement in accordance with Clause 26.

2.9

If Liverco does not serve a Second Serotype Licence Notice on UCLB prior to expiry of the Second Serotype Exercise Period, thereafter without otherwise affecting any other Licences, including in each case the exclusivity granted or to be granted in respect of the same, Liverco shall cease to have any right or interest in or to the Second Serotype Program IP referred to in Clause 2.7 and UCLB shall, subject to the other Licences hereunder, be free to develop and exploit the Second Serotype Program IP as it thinks fit, without any reference to Liverco.

2.10

Upon exercise of the Second Serotype Option (if any) the Parties shall, purely for convenience and future reference purposes, co-operate to agree a list of Know-How and materials generated after the Effective Date that are included in the relevant Second Serotype Licence. The grant of the Second Serotype Licence is not dependent on agreeing such list, and such list shall not xxxxxx, vary or otherwise limit the terms of this Agreement or the scope or inclusion of Know-How or materials under the Licence unless the Parties expressly agree in writing that it shall do.

The costs of such filings shall be subject to the provisions of Clause 15.5.1.

3.	SUB-LICENSING

3.1

Other than to a Tobacco Party, Liverco shall be entitled to sub-license any of the Technology licensed to it hereunder {which includes the right to transfer any Materials) through multiple tiers and without restriction save that UCLB shall have a right to object to the grant of a sub-license by Liverco to other Third Parties solely in the following specific circumstances:

3.1.1

UCLB may only object in respect of a proposed sub-licensee if, due to the nature of that proposed sub-licensee’s business, the grant of the sub-license to that entity will, in the reasonable and measured opinion of UCLB, [**]; and

3.1.2

if the circumstances in Clause 3.1.1 apply, UCLB shall only have the right to object provided that it serves written notice of its objection setting out the grounds for its objection within [**] of written notice from Liverco of the identity of the proposed sub-licensee.

3.2	If UCLB has objected to the grant of a sub-license in accordance with Clause 3.1, Liverco may either accept that objection and not grant (or terminate) the sub-license or if it disputes the objection the following shall apply:

3.2.1

UCLB shall procure that representatives from UCLB and UCL shall meet with Liverco [**] of the objection to enable the Parties and UCL to discuss the proposed sub-license and the reasons for the perceived risk that an association will have a [**] and, in good faith, seek ways in which to overcome or mitigate such risk to a pragmatic and reasonably acceptable position;

3.2.2

if UCLB agrees that the risk is acceptable or UCLB and Liverco agree on any conditions to include in a sub-license to avert or mitigate the risk then Liverco shall be entitled to grant (or maintain) the sub-license subject to any agreement reached between UCLB and Liverco:

3.2.3

if within [**] of the objection, (i) UCLB and Liverco are unable to reach an agreement and Liverco still wishes to grant (or maintain) a sub-license or (ii) representatives of UCLB and UCL do not or are unable to meet with Liverco; then Liverco shall be entitled to refer the objection to a person nominated by the chairman of [**] for the determination identified below (the “Appointed Expert”). The nomination shall be subject to the Appointed Expert agreeing to be so appointed and the terms of that appointment set by the [**]. The costs of the Appointed Expert shall be borne by the Parties equally. The Appointed Expert shall be entitled to consider any information presented to the Appointed Expert by UCLB or Liverco (provided that each Party shall copy to the other Party all information provided to the Appointed Expert at the same time) and any other information that the Appointed Expert may consider relevant. The Appointed Expert shall make his or her decision as expert and not as arbiter, and the decision of the Appointed Expert shall be final and binding save in the case of manifest error. If, in the Appointed Expert’s opinion the Appointed Expert considers the grant of a sub-licence to the Third Party objected to by UCLB will, by virtue of the nature of the business of that Third Party entity, [**], then Liverco shall not grant (or shall terminate) such sub-licence. In all other circumstances, irrespective of any

objection by UCLB or UCL, Uverco shall be entitled to grant (or maintain) the sub-licence without restriction or condition. UCLB and Liverco hereby irrevocably agree, accept and acknowledge that neither the [**], [**] the Appointed Expert shall have any liability to UCLB or Liverco (or any Third Party or any other person) by virtue of the provisions of this Clause or exercise of decisions pursuant this Clause, and UCLB and Liverco hereby undertake not to make or bring any claim against any of the [**] the Appointed Expert with respect to performance in connection with the foregoing or this Agreement.

3.3

In so far as Liverco grants a sub-licence of rights under the Technology to a Sub-Licensee (other than in respect of a material transfer agreement, contract research agreement or manufacturing agreement, provided they do not include rights to sell products or services incorporating the Technology) (“Commercial Licence”), Liverco shall in such circumstances enter into a written agreement with each sub-licensee (provided that this obligation to enter into a written agreement shall not apply where, and for so long as, the Sub-Licensee is an Affiliate of Liverco ). Additionally,

3.3.1

Liverco shall ensure that the provisions of the sub-licence agreement do not grant rights in the Technology beyond those granted hereunder and impose obligations and restrictions on the Sub-Licensee consistent with the obligations and restrictions imposed on Liverco hereunder under (i) Clauses 3, 13 and 17 and (ii) Clauses 22.1.1 and 22.2 to 22.4;

3.3.2

Liverco shall ensure that the sub-licence agreement imposes obligations of confidentiality on the Sub-Licensee which are no less onerous than those set out in Clause 17;

3.3.3

the sub-licence agreement shall, if required by Liverco, be novated to UCLB (which novation UCLB will accept) on termination of this Agreement, provided that (i) the Sub-Licensee is willing to accept the novation of any sub-licence agreement upon such termination and make payment of sums otherwise payable under this Agreement for the Sub-Licensee’s (and its sub-sublicensees’) Exploitation of the Technology directly to UCLB; (ii) at the time of novation the Sub-Licensee is not in breach of its obligations to Liverco under the sub-licence agreement; (iii) the sub-licence agreement does not impose on UCLB any obligations or commitments beyond those included in this Agreement; and (iv) the sub-licence agreement includes terms (at a minimum) consistent with those in Clauses 3, 9, 11, 12, 13, 17, 20, 21.4, 21.5, 21.6, 21.7 and 21.8 of this Agreement failing which the sub-licence agreement shall automatically terminate.

3.4	Liverco shall be liable to UCLB for all acts and omissions of its Sub-Licensees (other than those whose sub-license has novated to UCLB) that, if committed by Liverco, would constitute a breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

3.5	Liverco shall provide UCLB with written notice of any Commercial Licence and, to the extent it is able to do so, provide UCLB with a copy of any Commercial Licence (with confidential and financial information redacted) promptly following its execution.

3.6	Notwithstanding the above, where the sub-licence relates only to UCL Background IP or Manufacturing Know-How the provisions of Clauses 3.3.1, 3.3.3, and 3.5 shall not apply and such sub-licences shall not terminate on termination of this Agreement.

3.7

For the purposes of this Clause 3, “Tobacco Party” means: (i) any entity which develops, sells or manufactures tobacco products; and/or (ii) any entity which makes the majority of its profits from the importation, marketing, sale or disposal of tobacco products.

Sub-Licensee Payments

3.8

If Liverco, grants a sub-licence of any [**] (including at least one of the [**]) to a Sub-Licensee that is a Third Party for the right to commercialise a [**] prior to the earlier of (i) [**] of a patient in a [**] clinical trial (carried out by Liverco) using any AAV-directed gene therapy product targeted at the treatment of [**] or or (ii) [**] (carried out by Liverco) of any AAV-directed gene therapy product targeted at the treatment of [**] or (iii) Liverco receives, in aggregate, funds by way of investment (whether through equity, debt or other financing) [**], (such sub-license being a “Sublicence”), and Liverco receives in consideration of that Sublicence grant any Net Receipts, Liverco shall, subject to Clause 13, make payments to UCLB from time to time calculated by reference to [**] of Net Receipts received by Liverco under that Sublicence (“Sublicence Payment”). No Sublicence Payment shall be due in respect of the licensing by Liverco of any other Technology beyond the [**].

3.9	Each Sublicence Payment under Clause 3.8 is subject to the following:

3.9.1

where the Sublicence includes a grant of rights to Intellectual Property which is not [**], then for the purposes of calculating the Sublicence Payment, the value of Net Receipts shall be adjusted to a value attributable to the [**] sub-licensed to the Sub-licensee which will be calculated in direct proportion to the value fairly and reasonably attributed [**] licensed hereunder as against all other Intellectual Property licensed to the Third Party under the Sublicence. At UCLB’s request Liverco shall provide details to UCLB of the basis of any proposed apportionment and either party may refer any dispute relating to such apportionment to the Expert in accordance with Part C of Schedule 8;

3.9.2

Sublicence Payments in respect of Net Receipts received under a particular Sublicence shall, on a country by country basis, cease to be payable upon the later of (i) the expiry of the last Valid Claim of the [**] in that country; or (ii) [**] after the Effective Date.

3.10

In the event that any of the Milestones are achieved by a Sub-Licensee (as opposed to by Liverco) in respect of a particular [**] then Liverco shall be entitled to offset against the corresponding Milestone Payment payable to UCLB the amount of Sublicence Payments payable to UCLB in respect of a Sublicence to that [**] on or before the date that the Milestone Payment is triggered. In the event that any Milestone Payment is triggered by a second or subsequent Royalty Product (derived from [**]), the right to offset Sublicence Payments against such Milestone Payment shall exclude any previous Sublicence Payments to the extent that they have already been offset in relation to the previous Milestone Payment provided that any excess of a Sublicence Payment not offset shall be capable of offset against future Milestone Payments relating to [**] derived from [**]. Where the amount of the Milestone Payment exceeds the Sublicence Payments that can be offset against it, Liverco shall pay to UCLB the shortfall against that Milestone Payment in accordance with Clause 11.

4.	RETAINED RIGHTS, ACADEMIC RESEARCH & RESTRICTIONS

4.1

The licences to Program IP, the Background Licence and the Manufacturing Licence, to the extent each of them are exclusive (including the Second Serotype Program IP), are subject to UCLB reserving for, and having the right to grant the limited non-assignable, worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable right to, UCL to enable UCL to use the (i) licensed Program IP; (ii) the UCL Background IP and Background Materials forming part of the exclusive licence pursuant to Clause 2.1.1, and/or (iii) the Manufacturing Know-How forming part of the exclusive licence pursuant to Clause 2.2 .1 , solely to undertake Academic Research at UCL and/or (subject to Clause 4.5) in collaboration with other Academic Organisations, and for no other purposes (the “Academic Rights”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of the Additional Program IP, the Academic Rights are limited to the right for AN and the AN Laboratory alone to use the Additional Program IP solely to undertake Academic Research at UCL, and such Additional Program IP shall not be disclosed or licensed to a Third Party including any Academic Collaborator except that disclosure to an Academic Collaborator, to an academic based with UCL or to a Funder under terms of confidentiality is permissible. For the avoidance of doubt, but subject to Clause 7.7.1, UCLB and/or UCL (including AN and AN laboratory) are not precluded under this Clause 4, from using and/or disclosing for any purpose without any restriction, the UCL Background IP, the Background Materials and Manufacturing Know-How outside of the Exclusive Field.

(ii)

during the Improvement Period only and where the Academic Research relates to or is likely to give rise to Improvements, UCLB and UCL shall not without the prior written consent of Liverco (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) accept any such funding if such Third Party Funder imposes restrictions or conditions on the Exploitation of Improvements funded in whole or in part by that Third Party;

4.2.3

UCLB shall and shall procure that UCL shall maintain the confidentiality of the Program IP (with the exception of information disclosed in the Licensed Patents once published) and shall impose the same restrictions on its Academic Collaborators (and enforce the same), save that UCL and its Academic Collaborators shall be entitled to publish the results of their Academic Research under these Academic Rights subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Clause 4.3;

4.2.4

with the exception of academic clinical studies permitted under Clause 4.2.5, no studies intended to be (or required by applicable laws, ethical requirements or standards or otherwise to be) conducted in accordance with the standards of GLP (good laboratory practice), GMP (good manufacturing practice) and/or GCP (good clinical practice) may be conducted under the Academic Rights without the prior written consent of Liverco (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld having regard to Liverco’s commercial considerations and its assessment of the risk/benefit to the patient associated with any proposed study), and UCLB shall procure that an equivalent restriction is imposed on and complied with by all Academic Collaborators and shall ensure that the Program Materials and Background Materials (that are subject to the exclusive licence granted pursuant to Clause 2.4. 7 and 2.1.1 respectively) are not provided to any Third Party for the purposes of any such study that has not been authorised by Liverco;

4.2.5

no clinical studies or treatment of patients may be conducted under the Academic Rights without the prior written consent of Liverco (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld having regard to Liverco’s commercial considerations and its assessment of the risk/benefit to the patient associated with any proposed study or treatment of patients), and UCLB shall procure that an equivalent restriction is imposed on and complied with by all Academic Collaborators and shall ensure that the Program Materials and Background Materials (that are subject to the exclusive licence granted pursuant to Clause 2.4.7 or 2.1.1) are not provided to any Third Party for the purposes of any such study that has not been authorised by Liverco;

save that where Program IP is in or comes into the public domain (other than as a result of a breach of any obligation of confidentiality owed by UCLB, UCL or an Academic Collaborator), the provisions of this Clause 4 shall not apply in respect of Academic Research relating to such Program IP, except where the Academic Research is conducted by AN and/or the AN Laboratory in which case these provisions shall continue to apply.

4.3

If UCL or any Academic Collaborator (which for the purposes of this Clause 4.3 shall include any of their respective academics, employees or students), wish to publish (including by way of publication of any thesis) (i) any of the Program IP; or (ii) with respect to each Improvement for the duration of the period prior to and during the applicable Improvement Negotiation Period, any results of Academic Research that amount to Improvements (each of (I) and (ii) being “Academic Information”) then UCLB shall procure that:

4.3.2

until the Additional Patent Rights have been published in accordance with the prosecution of such applications within that defined term, no publication, or request to publish under this Clause 4.3, shall be made with respect to any of the Additional Program IP or any results arising from use of any of the Additional Program IP, and following publication of the Additional Patent Rights in accordance with the prosecution of the applications within that defined term, then UCL may submit requests to publish under this Clause 4.3;

4.3.3

subject to Clause 4.3.2, UCL or the Academic Collaborator(s) must first, via UCLB, give to Liverco, in advance, a copy of the proposed publication containing the Academic Information and which is intended to be disclosed or published, or submitted for publication at least [**] before its presentation or intended submission for publication (“Academic Reports”);

4.3.4

upon receipt of the Academic Reports in accordance with Clause 4.3.3, Liverco shall within [**] of receipt either approve or (where Liverco has legitimate commercial concerns including wanting to seek patent protection of the relevant Academic Information or part thereof) refuse the request for publication, but failing UCLB’s receipt of Liverco’s notice within the [**] time period, the request for publication shall be deemed to be approved in the form in which the Academic Reports were provided to Liverco pursuant to Clause 4.3.2;

4.3.5

where the request for publication is refused, the refusal shall be communicated to UCLB in writing, following which UCLB shall procure that UCL and the Academic Collaborator(s) shall refrain from making any publication of the Academic Reports (and the Academic Information contained in such Academic Reports) for a period no less than [**] (or no less than [**] if agreed by UCLB) from the date of notification from Liverco refusing the request for publication;

4.3.6

if consent is given to the request for publication, or where refused the period of [**] (or such longer period as agreed) pursuant to Clause 4.3.5 has expired, UCL and/or the Academic Collaborator(s) may proceed to publish the Academic Reports in the form in which they were provided to Liverco pursuant to Clause 4.3.2;

4.3.7

save in respect of [**], Clauses 4.3.1 to 4.3.6 shall not prevent or hinder any student from submitting for degrees of UCL or any Academic Collaborator any thesis containing Academic Information or from following the procedures of UCL or any Academic Collaborator for examination and for admission to postgraduate degree status provided that such procedures require the thesis to be placed on restricted access within the library of UCL (and the Academic Collaborator, if applicable and acceptable under the relevant policies of the Academic Collaborator) for [**] of placement of the thesis at the library of UCL (and the Academic Collaborator, if applicable and acceptable under the relevant policies of the Academic Collaborator).

4.4

Where Liverco has exercised its right to refuse the request for publication of any Academic Reports, then Liverco and UCLB shall promptly and collaboratively work together in order to assess, and where appropriate, file and seek appropriate patent protection for the Academic Information. Where UCLB files for patent protection, the costs for seeking such protection shall be borne by UCLB.

4.5

UCL shall have the limited right to sub-license the Academic Rights (excluding those relating to Additional Program IP) through one tier only, to Academic Collaborators for named staff to work on with respect to a collaborative Academic Research project in conjunction with UCL (a “Collaborative Research Project”). Such sub-licence shall:

4.5.1

only be granted provided that all results and Intellectual Property arising from a Collaborative Research Project shall be subject to Liverco’s right to exercise its rights over those results and Intellectual Property which are Improvements in accordance with the provisions of Clause 5 and the Parties acknowledge that this obligation shall not apply in respect of results or Intellectual Property which are not Improvements;

4.6

UCLB shall procure the compliance of any Academic Collaborator(s) with the provisions of this Clause 4 by including these terms in an agreement with the Academic Collaborator(s). UCLB shall be responsible to Liverco for any act or omission of a sub-licensee who is granted a sub-license by UCL under Clause 4.5 where such act or omission if committed by UCL or UCLB would be a breach of this Agreement.

4.7

UCLB warrants and represents to Liverco that, with the exception of the [**] concerning the HLP1 Promoter Product, that the agreements disclosed to Liverco and identified in Part A of Schedule 6 comprise all licences, consents, waivers and/or permissions (whether express or implied) granted by UCL and/or UCLB in respect of any of the Program IP, UCL Background IP (that is subject to the exclusive licence pursuant to Clause 2.1.1) and Manufacturing Know-How (that is subject to the exclusive licence pursuant to Clause 2.2.1) to any Third Party (“Existing licences”). UCLB warrants and represents to Liverco that as of the Effective Date, the summary description in relation to the provisions of the [**] that govern the grant, use, field, restrictions, prosecution and enforcement of the patent application claiming the HLP1-Product and is set out in an email between [**] is accurate and complete in all material parts, and that such provisions are as of the Effective Date in force. Notwithstanding the foregoing, UCLB shall not be deemed in breach of the requirements or restrictions under this Clause 4 with respect to those Existing licences provided that such Existing licences shall not be amended after the Effective Date without the prior written consent of Liverco (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) nor shall their duration be extended or consent granted under them to allow materials to be provided to a Third Party.

4.8	Save for the limited right granted to UCL under Clause 4.1 to undertake Academic Research, UCLB shall retain no other rights that deviate from or otherwise encumber, limit or affect the licences (including their scope, termination and duration) granted to Liverco hereunder.

4.9

If UCL or any Academic Collaborator wish to publish (including by way of publication of any thesis) any results of Academic Research that amount to a New Invention for the duration of the period prior to and during the applicable Improvement Negotiation Period, the provisions of Clause 4.3 shall apply, save that Liverco shall have no more than [**] receipt of the proposed publication to either approve or request delay of the publication and Liverco shall only be entitled to delay publication for a maximum duration [**] [**] from receipt of the publication.

5.	ACCESS TO IMPROVEMENTS AND NEW INVENTIONS

5.1	The provisions of this Clause 5 shall apply to each and every Improvement and New Invention that is generated, reduced to practice or otherwise discovered or identified at any time up until and including the [**] of the Effective Date

5.9.1

requires for the reasonable commercial exploitation of the results of that program as a matter of necessity the right to use any methods or techniques that would, if performed by a Third Party, infringe any claim of the [**] Rights and there is no other reasonable way to exploit the results of such program without such use (an “[**] Dependent Program”); or,

5.9.2

is concerned with any antibody binder or derivatives thereof delivered by MV technology which has a bi-specific targeting mechanism of action (including where both binding moieties are identical) with any application outside of the Excluded Field but (a “Bi-specific Program”);

(collectively an “AN Program”) then UCL shall by written notice (an “AN Program Notice”) notify Liverco of such program upon the earlier of (i) UCL either approaching or being approached to license or sell any aspect of such AN Program (including any of the Intellectual Property Rights arising from it) for commercial exploitation; or, (ii) the publication of any patent application filed by, with the authority of or on behalf of AN , UCL or UCLB in respect of any invention derived from an AN Program; or, (iii) UCL having an offer (capable of acceptance and which UCL has a bona fide intention to accept) for a funding grant to undertake a formal toxicology study of, or to engage the clinical manufacturing of, a candidate product arising from an AN Program . This Clause 5.9 and Clause 5.10 shall apply each time to each and every AN Program as it arises .

5.10

Until such time as Liverco’s rights under Clause 5.9 and 5.10 expire (including any period of exclusive negotiation) with respect to an AN Program (and any of the Intellectual Property Rights arising from it), UCL shall not encumber, charge, mortgage, license, sell, assign, Exploit or otherwise grant any other right or enable any Third Party to Exploit such AN Program (including any of the Intellectual Property Rights arising from it). Each AN Program Notice shall include a reasonable disclosure of the applicable AN Program and the Intellectual Property Rights arising from it, and UCL shall through disclosures and/or meetings requested by Liverco afford Liverco a fair and reasonable opportunity to assess the benefit of the AN Program and the Intellectual Property Rights arising from it. Within [**] of such AN Program Notice or, if later, [**] following a meeting at which the AN Program and the Intellectual Property Rights arising from it is reasonably disclosed to Liverco so as to enable it to make a fair assessment of the same, Liverco shall notify UCL if it or an Affiliate of it wishes to negotiate for rights to the AN Program (including any of the Intellectual Property Rights arising from it). Where:

5.10.1

Liverco does not serve notice to negotiate for rights to the AN Program (or any of the Intellectual Property Rights arising from it) in accordance with the foregoing, then:

5.10.1.1

UCL shall be free to license or sell any aspect of such AN Program (including any of the Intellectual Property Rights arising from it) for commercial exploitation; and,

5.10.1.2

Where the AN Program Notice was in respect of a [**] Program UCL shall have the right, by serving notice on Liverco (within [**] of expiry of the deadline for Liverco to serve notice to negotiate for rights to the AN Program or its technology), to negotiate in good faith and acting reasonably for a licence to the [**] (or a variation to the scope of [**] to return rights) on commercial terms (to be agreed acting reasonably) to the extent necessary to exploit the results of such AN Program provided that (i) the AN Program is not applicable

within the [**] and (ii) liverco is free and entitled, without breaching or offending any other rights granted or optioned by it as of the date of such notice, to license the [**] for such AN Program;

5.10.2

Liverco does serve notice to negotiate for rights to the AN Program (or any of the Intellectual Property Rights arising from it) in accordance with the foregoing, then UCL and Liverco will in good faith negotiate the commercial terms for and seek to conclude a licence to such AN Program and/or the Intellectual Property Rights arising from it as identified by liverco, for an exclusive period of no less than [**].

6.	INFORMATION AND ACCESS TO PROF. AMIT NATHWANl’S OTHER PROGRAMS & OTHER RESTRICTIONS

6.1

8.1	At Liverco’s sole option, liverco may serve notice on UCLB to exercise, on a Product-byProduct basis, its right to acquire ownership of the relevant category of Licensed Patents, on the following basis:


Liverco option to require assignment (each an “Assignment Option”) is available upon the occurrence of each applicable circumstance (“Assignment Trigger”):		Liverco’s Assignment Option relates to the following Licensed Patents:




[**]		[**]


[**]		[**]


[**]		[**]


[**]		[**]

[**]		[**]


Liverco option to require assignment (each an “Assignment Option”) is available upon the occurrence of each applicable circumstance (“Assignment Trigger”):		Liverco’s Assignment Option relates to the following Licensed Patents:

[**]		[**]




[**]		[**]




[**]		[**]

Each of the foregoing Assignment Options is exercisable in writing each time the applicable Assignment Trigger occurs, and the exercise of one Assignment Option shall not extinguish the right to exercise the other Assignment Options.

8.2

Upon service of Liverco’s written notice in accordance with Clause 8.1, UCLB shall, subject to the remainder of this Clause 8, cause (and do and procure all things necessary to affect) the assignment of the relevant Licensed Patents which are the subject of the Assignment Option to Liverco, including the execution of an assignment document in accordance with this Clause (the “Assignment”). Liverco accepts that such assignment document shall include a provision under which Liverco shall only be entitled to assign any such Licensed Patents if the acquirer of the relevant Licensed Patent enters into a written undertaking with UCLB confirming to UCLB that the acquirer, its Affiliates (or any sub-licensee of the acquirer or its Affiliates) shall pay UCLB Royalties for sale of the Royalty Products pursuant to the provisions of Clauses 11, 12 and 13 and that UCLB shall be entitled to undertake Royalty audits of the acquirer on the same basis as set out in Clauses 13.9 and 13.10. UCLB shall as of the date of assignment of the relevant Licensed Patents warrant to Liverco that the relevant Licensed Patents are assigned free of encumbrances and with full title guarantee and UCLB’s liability with respect to such warranty shall be subject to the provisions of Clause 19.2.

8.3

The assignment of Licensed Patents pursuant to this Clause 8 shall not extinguish Liverco’s obligation to pay Royalties for sales of Royalty Products or other financial commitments under Clauses 11, 12 and 13 and, upon any such assignment, the Parties shall amend this Agreement to the extent required to reflect such assignment. However, UCLB may request (but Liverco shall not be obliged to action) that Liverco considers a royalty buy-out upon such assignment.

9.	DILIGENCE OBLIGATIONS

9.1

Subject to the remainder of this clause and compliance with Clause 2.6, Liverco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to develop a Royalty Product one of each that is the subject of (i) [**]; (ii) [**]; (iii) the Fabry Licence; and [**]; in each case until such time as the applicable Licence is terminated. Additionally, where UCLB becomes entitled to exercise its right to

terminate the FIX Licence under clause 9.5 (following expiry of the relevant date) but UCLB does not exercise such right and its right to terminate expires, then Liverco shall, from that point in time and thereafter, use its commercially reasonable efforts to develop a Royalty Product that is the subject of the FIX Licence (until such time as the FIX Licence is terminated), it being acknowledged that failure by Liverco (or if applicable a Sub-Licensee) to have met the First Target Date or Second Target Date (or extended Second Target Date pursuant to Clause 9.3) shall not be deemed a breach of commercially reasonable efforts. No obligations under this clause 9.1 shall apply with respect to any FIX Product where UCLB did not have a right to terminate under clause 9.5 unless any of the circumstances in Clause 9.6 apply. With respect to Liverco’s obligations to use commercially reasonable efforts, it is acknowledged that Liverco shall at its sole discretion have the right to determine the prioritisation of development of Royalty Products and not be obliged to develop a Royalty Product under each and every Program Licence at all times during the relevant period. It is recognised that in complying with the above, (i) Liverco shall have the right to determine in its sole discretion the prioritisation, on a purely commercial basis, of the various Royalty Products for development, and that Liverco’s compliance with the foregoing shall be assessed on the basis of Liverco’s entire product development portfolio including the Royalty Products: and (ii) the performance of Liverco’s FIX Product in clinical trials will determine and influence the development of other Royalty Products, and (iii) until such time as a FIX Product has adequately advanced in clinical trials with robust data supporting a reasonable anticipation of that FIX Product achieving a Marketing Approval in Core Countries, Liverco is unlikely to have advanced the other Royalty Products.

9.2

Subject to clause 9.6, UCLB shall be entitled to terminate the FIX Licence if Liverco (or its Sub-Licensee) fails to [**] with respect to a FIX Product (such specific FIX Product being the “First Iteration”) and fails to notify UCLB accordingly in writing by [**] (“First Target Date”). Any termination by UCLB under this Clause 9.2 shall only be effective if UCLB provides written notice of termination to Liverco by no later than [**].

9.3

If Liverco (or its Sub-Licensee) anticipates that it will fail to meet the First Target Date and yet Liverco or its Sub-Licensee plans to continue development of the First Iteration, it shall notify UCLB no later than the First Target Date. UCLB may decide to waive its right to terminate the FIX Licence under Clause 9.2. in which case UCLB shalt be entitled to extend the Second Target Date (as defined below) to cover the anticipated period of delay and if it is to do so, it must notify Liverco of a new Second Target Date within [**] of notice from Liverco under this Clause 9.3.

9.4

If Liverco or its Sub-Licensee decides to abandon development of the First Iteration it shall notify UCLB by the First Target Date. UCLB may decide to waive its right to terminate the FIX Licence under Clause 9.2 in which case the Parties hereby acknowledge that Liverco’s obligations to develop a FIX Product that is not the First Iteration shall be subject to the diligence obi igations set out in Clause 9.1.

9.5	Subject to clause 9.6, if Liverco (or its Sub-Licensee) fails to commence a [] respect of the First Iteration (“[]”) [] (“Second Target Date”)**, or by the extended Second Target Date (as notified by

UCLB pursuant to Clause 9.3) and fails to notify UCLB no later than the Second Target Date (or extended Second Target Date if applicable) that Liverco (or its Sub-Licensee) will not meet the Second Target Date (or extended Second Target Date if applicable) in relation the First Iteration, UCLB may terminate the FIX Licence by providing written notice of termination to Liverco by no later than [**] or where applicable, terminate the FIX Licence no later than [**] after expiry of the extended Second Target Date. The Parties hereby acknowledge that Liverco shall not be obliged to adhere to or comply with the diligence obligations set out in Clause 9.1 in respect of any FIX Product until such time that: (i) the Second Target Date or extended Second Target Date (if applicable) has passed; and (ii) UCLB had the right to terminate the FIX Licence but elected not to exercise such termination right and accordingly ceases to have a right to exercise its termination right in respect of the FIX Licence under, and in accordance with, this Clause 9.5.

9.6	In the event that any of the following circumstances arise:

9.6.1

AN has ceased to be CSO (as such terms is defined in the SSA) of Liverco;

9.6.2

AN is (i) an employee of Liverco, but has served notice of resignation notice or {ii) a consultant to Liverco, but has served notice to terminate his consultancy;

9.6.3

AN is an employee or consultant of Liverco, but under a termination notice served by Liverco;

9.6.4

AN is subject to any [**] initiated by Liverco which has concluded with [**];

9.6.5

there have been unexpected regulatory hurdles in relation to the [**] that Liverco has or is requrred to overcome;

9.6.6

there has been unexpected and/or unfavourable clinical data arising from the [**] referred to in Clause 9.2;

9.6.7

there is a requirement by the Regulatory Authorties or ethics committee for Liverco or its Sub-Licensee to conduct additional clinical study(ies) before commencing the [**] using the First Iteration; and/or

9.6.8

there are ongoing, or have been, material difficulties in procuring satisfactory manufacturing and/or delivery of [**] including, without limitation, capacity availability, quality issues, yield issues, specification or stability issues,

the Parties agree that the provisions of Clauses 9.2 to 9.5 shall cease to apply and thereafter Liverco’s diligence obligations set be limited to those in Clause 9.1 from such point onward. Should AN be subject to a [**] initiated by Liverco until such proceeding is finally concluded (or withdrawn) Liverco’s diligence obligations under this Clause 9 and UCLB’s right to terminate any licences under this Clause 9 shall be suspended, any time limits or deadlines on Liverco’s diligence shall be automatically extended by the period of time commencing with written notice [**] that are the subject of [**] and ending upon the final determination of such procedure (or its withdraw).

9.7

It is acknowledged that Exploitation by Liverco’s Affiliates and/or Sub-Licensees of any Royalty Product shall, for the purposes of this Clause 9, be considered activities of Liverco for assessing its use of commercially reasonable efforts under Clause 9.1, meeting the deadlines in Clauses 9.2 and 9.3 and otherwise the compliance with Clause 9.

9.8

With effect from [**] Liverco (and, in respect [**] after the provisions of both Clauses 9.2 and 9.3 cease to apply), thereafter by 31 March of each year, Liverco shall provide UCLB with a written report that will include a summary of its development timelines and major development steps in relation to the Royalty Products that were taken in the previous [**] and will include development timelines, budget and major development steps that Liverco anticipates shall be undertaken with respect to the Royalty Products for the following [**]. In addition to the foregoing, UCLB shall be entitled, if reasonable, to request details of FTE resource allocation and CRO costs incurred by Liverco. The foregoing obligation shall cease to apply with effect from the [**] of the Effective Date.

9.9

The parties acknowledge that the provisions of this Clause 9.9 shall only apply to the FIX Licence following UCLB having a right to terminate under Clause 9.5 and such right to terminate ceasing to have effect, following which the obligations in Clause 9.1 apply to the FIX Product. Without prejudice to the termination rights granted to UCLB under Clauses 9.2 and 9.5, non-compliance with this Clause 9 shall not result in a right to terminate this Agreement or any financial or equitable remedy (including any remedy in damages), but UCLB’s sole remedy for non-compliance shall be limited to the right to terminate those specific Program Licences granted under this Agreement in accordance with Clause 9.10. It is acknowledged that notwithstanding any delay in development of one or more Royalty Products, a breach of this Clause 9 may be remedied by Liverco subsequently undertaking activities to commence development of the applicable Royalty Product following UCLB’s written notice referred to below and as such a delay in development timeline is not an un-remediable breach. Prior to exercising any right of termination UCLB shall first be obliged to provide Liverco with a written notice setting out the basis for its allegation of breach by Liverco under this Clause 9, which notice shall set out the deficiencies by Liverco and set out a series of reasonable activities UCLB consider sufficient to remedy the breach. For the avoidance of doubt, UCLB’s list of suggested activities shall not be a definitive or minimum list of what is required to remedy any breach. Upon Liverco’s receipt of such notice, the Parties shall, promptly, in good faith and acting reasonably, (i) discuss ways for liverco to remedy or undertake activities in compliance with the obligations under this Clause 9 and (ii) agree a reasonabte period of time within which Liverco will be required to undertake such activities. If the Parties fail to agree the period which Liverco has to undertake the activities, Liverco shall have [**] from the date Liverco or UCLB serves written notice stating in its view that an agreement under (li) cannot be reached to comply with its obligations under this Clause 9 for the Royalty Product(s) in respect of which the breach has occurred.

9.10

Provided that Clause 9.9 has been complied with and the process set out therein followed, and provided that following [**] (or such other period agreed between the Parties) Liverco is still in breach of the same obligations under this Clause 9 in respect of the development of one or more Royalty Products that were the subject of the original breach notice under Clause 9.9, UCLB shall be entitled upon immediate written notice to terminate the Program Licence(s) granted, on a Program Licence by Program Licence basis, the Program Licence applicable to the Royalty Products where, in breach of its obligations hereunder in respect of such Royalty Products, Liverco has not met and has failed to remedy its diligence obligation under Clause 9.1 to develop such Royalty Products.

9.11

Upon termination of a Program Licence by UCLB pursuant to Clause 9.2, 9.5 or 9.10, UCLB shall have the option to negotiate with Liverco to agree terms for a licence to those applicable Liverco Improvements Controlled by Liverco which are free of restrictions and encumbrances and which specifically relate to the Product licensed under the Program Licence that has been terminated. The foregoing right of UCLB to negotiate with Liverco for the Liverco Improvements shall expire [**] following notice of termination served under Clause 9.8. This Clause 9.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement [**] from the date of termination during which UCLB shall have a right to exercise its right under Clause 9.9.

9.12

Liverco shall, by written notice, promptly notify UCLB in the event that its Board takes any decision to permanently terminate development of Royalty Products under a particular Program Licence, whereupon Liverco shall have no further obligation to develop or Exploit any Royalty Product applicable to that Program Licence and the relevant Program Licence shall terminate as of the date of Liverco’s written notice and the relevant provisions of Clause 22 shall apply.

10.	UCLB MANAGEMENT FEE AND SHARES

10.1

Liverco shall, during the Term of this Agreement, make a maximum of four (4) annual payments to UCLB each of GBP £30,000, with each annual payment being made within [**] of receipt of a VAT invoice addressed to Liverco, the first of which shall be issued no earlier than the first anniversary of the Effective Date, and thereafter for the remaining three (3) annual payments they shall be issued on each subsequent anniversary of the Effective Date.

The Royalty and/or Royalty Rate in respect of a Royalty Product and the Royalty for a FX Vector Product set out above shall be adjusted, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of Clause 12.5 to 12.10, and the order of reduction or adjustment in the Royalty Rate or Royalty due shall be applied sequentially in the order of those remaining clauses.

Multiple Royalty Product Adjustments

12.5

If any Royalty Product falls within more than one of the Royalty categories set out in the table at Clause 12.1, the maximum Royalty payable for that particular product or therapy shall be calculated as a percentage of the Net Sales for such Royalty Product at a rate being the sum of the highest Royalty Rate of all the Royalty Rates payable pursuant to Clause 12.1 for such Royalty Product, plus [**] of the next highest Royalty Rate of the remaining Royalty Rates payable pursuant to Clause 12.1 for such Royalty Product, save that if the second highest applicable Royalty Rate category for a product or therapy is category E, such Royalty Rate under category E shall not be discounted [**] per cent but shall be additive [**]. In respect of Additional Royalty Products however, notwithstanding the foregoing, only the one highest Royalty Rate shall apply. No Royalty pursuant to Clause 12.1 shall be due on any [**] Product.

Royalty Rate Reductions

12.6

In respect of each Royalty Product and on a country-by-country basis, the Royalty Rate applicable to the Net Sales for such Royalty Product shall be reduced by the percentages set out in the table below where the applicable circumstance exists or does not exist, as the context requires. Furthermore, where a product or therapy falls within two or more definitions of a Royalty Product, then the following circumstances shall be assessed on an individual Royalty Product-by-Royalty Product basis (and hence separate Royalty Rate by Royalty Rate basis) such that the Royalty Rate in respect of the product or therapy falling within one Royalty Product definition may be adjusted differently to the Royalty Rate that would be applicable for such same product or therapy also falling within a second definition for another Royalty Product.

For the purposes of Clause 12.6, the “Know-How Period” means the period of time commencing with the date that a Marketing Approval has been granted to Liverco or its Sub-Licensee within the USA or any country within the European Union (whichever is the first) for the relevant Royalty Product and [**] thereafter.

Royalty Stacking

12.8

If Liverco, its Affiliates or any Sub-Licensees in-license or acquire rights under or otherwise purchase (i) any Patent Rights from any Third Party (including an obligation from such Third Party not to assert the Patent Rights in question); and/or, (ii) subject to Clause 12.9 any Patent Rights from UCLB; and/or (iii) [**] (or part thereof), and such Patent Rights, [**] (as reasonably assessed, based on such Patent Rights [**] being reasonably required) to Exploit any Royalty Product(s) and/or [**] in any way (“Third Party Access Rights”), to the extent Liverco, its Affiliates or its Sub-Licensees are required to pay any consideration, royalties, monies, milestones, or other fees under or in connection with such Third Party Access Rights applicable to any Royalty Product(s) and/or [**] Product(s) (“TP Fees”), such TP Fees (which shall be calculated as at the full rate prior to applying any stacking or deduction provisions under the agreement applicable to the Third Party Access Rights) shall be deductible from Royalties otherwise due on those Royalty Product(s) and/or [**] Product(s) subject to a maximum deduction [**] that would otherwise be payable were it not for this Clause (“Royalty Collar”). The determination as to whether an acquisition, licence or non-assert amounts to Third Party Access Rights shall be determined by Liverco’s intellectual property counsel and if UCLB disagree with that determination (which it must do within [**] of notification by Liverco) then the matter shall be referred for final determination, binding on Liverco and UCLB, to an independent intellectual property lawyer with Liverco and UCLB each bearing [**] of the costs of such instruction and determination. If by virtue of the capsid gene sequence utilised in a Royalty Product and/or [**] Product, such Royalty Product and/or [**] Product infringes or would infringe (in the absence of a licence) any Capsid Claims of any Patent Rights filed (as opposed to claiming priority) [**] of the First Serotype Patent Rights identified in Part A of Schedule 2 (“Vector Patents”), then any TP Fees payable shall be deductible [**]

their value after deduction of all other TP Fees and the Royalty Collar shall not apply. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, “Capsid Claim” means any claim of a Patent Right that claims or covers any capsid having at [**] to the capsid sequences identified in Schedule 12 of this Agreement. Any dispute concerning whether the foregoing provision concerning any Vector Patents applies to any product, will be determinated in accordance with the same procedure set out above to determine if Third Party Access Rights apply. For the avoidance of doubt, the Royalty Collar shall always apply, in all other circumstances.

12.9

If Liverco, its Affiliates or any Sub-Licensees in-license or acquire rights under any Patent Rights from UCLB that is (i) in the name of UCLB as of the Effective Date; and/or (ii) is filed by or on behalf of or at the direction of UCLB within [**] after the Effective Date in respect of any invention recorded in an invention disclosure form logged in UCLB’s database and categorised as “Biopharm” and with the status “being assessed” as of [**] to the Effective Date, then where such Patent Right is required to Exploit any Royalty Product(s) and/or [**] Product(s) in any way (as reasonably assessed, based on such rights blocking Exploitation), if Liverco, its Affiliates or any Sub-Licensees is required to pay any consideration, royalties, monies, milestones, or other fees under or in connection with such rights, the Royalty in respect of such Royalty Product(s) and/or [**] Product shall be reduced [**] For the avoidance of doubt, this Clause 12.9 shall not apply in respect of any sums paid by Liverco, its Affiliates or any Sub-Licensees in relation to the [**] where instead the provisions of Clause 12.8 shall apply.

HLP Promoter Licence

Diminished Royalty Product

12.11

If a Third Party (that is not authorised as a Sub-Licensee to Exploit a particular Royalty Product) commences Exploitation of any Competitive Product in a country within the Territory that infringes or otherwise misuses any of the Intellectual Property licensed hereunder (each an “Competing Entrant”), and UCLB and/or Liverco commence litigation against such Competing Entrant in respect of such Competitive Product, then in so far as any Royalties are due for sales of Royalty Product(s) in the country where litigation is ongoing and in respect of which the Competitive Product is competitive, such Royalties will be paid into escrow by Liverco pending resolution of such litigation. [**]

12.12

All interest earned on the sums paid into escrow pursuant to Clause 12.11 shall accrue to the benefit of the escrow account for distribution in accordance with Clause 12.11.

Royalty Term

12.13

The Royalty Term shall (i) in the case of Royalty Products commence on the Effective Date and shall, on a country-by-country basis and Royalty Product-by-Royalty Product basis, expire automatically upon there being a Royalty Expiry in a country in respect of a Royalty Product whereupon the rights and licences granted under this Agreement to Liverco in respect of such Royalty Product in such country (including any sub-licences granted by Liverco in respect thereof) shall become irrevocable, perpetual, royalty free and fully paid up; and, (ii) in the case of [**] Products commence on the Effective Date for shall expire automatically seven (7) years thereafter.

With effect from the First Commercial Sale of the first Royalty Product and/or [**] Product to be sold and throughout the remainder of the applicable Royalty Term, Liverco shall provide UCLB with a written report showing the gross selling price of those Royalty Products and/or [**] Product sold by Liverco and its Sub-Licensees in the preceding Quarter together with the calculations of Net Sales (as applicable to Royalty Products and [**] Product), which report shall include the information listed in Schedule 10 to the extent relevant to the calculation of Net Sales.

13.3	Quarterly reports shall be due within [**] of the close of every Quarter. Liverco shall keep accurate records in sufficient detail to enable the Royalties payable hereunder to be determined.

13.5	Royalties shall be due and payable within [**] of the date such invoice is received by Liverco in accordance with Clause 13.4. Payments of Royalties due in whole or in part may be made in advance of such due date.

Late Payments

13.6

In the event there is no double taxation agreement or other legislative provision or the reduced rate of withholding tax under the relevant double taxation agreement is greater than zero per cent., Liverco (or its agent) shall promptly pay such withholding or similar tax by deducting the relevant amount from the payment due to UCLB, and send to UCLB proof of such withholding or similar tax in a form in accordance with the relevant taxation authority as evidence of such payments. Similarly, in so far as withholding or similar taxes are payable on sums ultimately due hereunder but are required to be made by Liverco’s Affiltates or Sub-Licensees, such withholding may be made and Liverco shall work with UCLB to obtain from Liverco’s Affiliates and Sub-Licensees proof that such withholding has been properly accounted for to the relevant tax authority and such documents as are reasonably necessary to allow UCLB to take advantage of any double taxation agreement, other legislative provision or reduced rate as may be available to it.

Royalty Audits

13.9	UCLB shall have the right to appoint, [] on at least [] prior written notice to Liverco, an independent certificated accountant reasonably acceptable to

Liverco to undertake an audit of Liverco’s accounts and records relevant to the sales of Royalty Products and/or [**] Products and Net Sales to verify the accuracy of any payments due in respect of Royalties. UCLB shall ensure that any audit conducted pursuant to the HLP Promoter Licence shall be conducted at the same time as an audit under this Agreement, and vice versa, such that no more than one audit per [**] is conducted by UCLB under this Agreement and the HLP Promoter Licence. The independent certified accountant shall spend no more [**] at the premises of Liverco for the purpose of undertaking the audit. Thereafter, Liverco shall within [**] of receiving a written request from the independent accountant provide any additional information that is reasonable and reasonably requested for the purpose of assisting with the audit, provided that the foregoing obligation shall expire [**] after the audit. The independent auditor shall be required to enter into a confidentiality agreement on reasonable and standard terms with Liverco and shall not be entitled to disclose any confidential information of Liverco from the audit but shall be able to disclose whether or not Liverco is in compliance with its reporting obligations and the levels of Royalty declared and paid, and any discrepancy in the amount of Royalties declared as against those calculated to be due. To comply with its obligations under this Clause 13.9, Liverco shall include obligations in its sublicenses to obtain and make available to the auditor appropriate information from Sub-Licensees to enable the independent auditor to verify the accuracy of Royalties.

13.10

If, as a result of an audit being undertaken, any additional amount is found to be owed by Liverco to UCLB, such additional amount shall be paid within [**] after receipt of the accountant’s report, along with interest at the annual interest rate [**] over the Bank of England base rate from the date that such additional amount should have first been paid until paid in full. If the amount underreported as Royalties for the relevant periods that are the subject of the audit, are in excess [**] in the relevant audit, then Liverco shall in full and final settlement of any claim of breach reimburse UCLB for those reasonable and customary costs charged by the independent auditor for conducting such audit (upon production of accompanying receipted invoices in respect of the same). If the accountant determines that there has been an overpayment by Liverco, the amount of such overpayment shall be refunded to Liverco within [**] after receipt of the accountant’s report, or at Liverco’s discretion, set-off against a future payment of Royalties or Milestone Payments.

Fair Market Value

13.11

Any disagreement between the Parties as to the fair market value for the purpose of calculating any Net Sales pursuant to Part A of Schedule 8 of this Agreement shall be referred to an expert for resolution in accordance with the provisions of Part B of Schedule 8. The value of such Net Sales in dispute shall (i) not be included in the calculation of the percentage of underreported royalties referred to in Clause 13.10 for the purposes of determining responsibility for the auditor’s fees; and (ii) be excluded from any late payment charges or allegations of breach for non-payment until such time as the dispute is resolved, a value attributed and at least [**] has passed from such final determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, if the expert determines that the fair market value is such that UCLB is entitled to additional sums, UCLB shall be

entitled to charge interest on any outstanding amount on a daily basis at a rate equivalent of [**] over the base rate of the Bank of England in force, such interest shall be payable from the date UCLB issues a notice disputing the fair market value until the date the UCLB receives such additional payment.

The reference to “buy out” in this Clause shall mean that UCLB shall cease to be entitled to Royalties or Milestone Payments in exchange for some other cash consideration.

14.2	Upon exercising the Buy-Out Option by way of Liverco serving a written notice on UCLB, the following shall apply until expiry [**] after the date Liverco’s notice is deemed served (unless extended by agreement between the Parties):
